GAME PLAN

By ANTHONY RADFORD

THERE are fears any delay in funding the $16.5 million Bendigo Stadium expansion could harm the city’s future economic growth. The stadium has been mentioned in Greater Bendigo council’s draft Economic Development Strategy, unveiled this week, as a key plank in driving major events to the

city. The masterplan for the project is believed to be close to being released. The first stage of the plan is to build three new courts that can be transformed into a 3000-seat showcourt. Stage two is increasing the

showcourt to 4000 seats. With a state election around the corner, lobbying of candidates and parties has begun in earnest. Meanwhile, Ballarat has unveiled concept designs for a new $21 million basketball centre at Wendouree.

Those plans are aimed at positioning Ballarat to “remain competitive with other regional centres”, ensuring a pitched battle with Bendigo for funding. At the heart of the Bendigo campaign is that the stadium expansion is vital to the city’s economic future.

A REMPLAN report shows it is worth $17.5 million to the economy each year. Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons said the project was vital to continuing Bendigo’s impressive economic growth over the past decade.

COMMUNITY members are encouraged to have their say on Greater Bendigo council’s draft Economic Development Strategy. The draft strategy sets out a range of important projects and initiatives for the city. “While Greater Bendigo has enjoyed growth and prosperity over the past 10 or so years we must keep the momentum going into the future by having a strategy in place,” mayor Barry Lyons said. Local businesses and community organisations spoke with council to give comment

about the draft strategy. Cr Lyons said the goal of the strategy was to benefit the economic development of the wider region, and projects will be implemented across many sectors.

he said. Priority projects for the region include the completion of the new Bendigo hospital, development of the Marong Business Park, redevelopment of Bendigo Airport, support

Chapman may join race

By CHRISTINE McGINN

GREATER Bendigo councillor Elise Chapman could be Bendigo’s newest candidate in November’s state election race. The Lockwood Ward councillor was elected in 2012 and has championed numerous community campaigns including the fight to save the Golden Square Community Pool and Fortuna. “I have been seriously considering running,” Cr Chapman said. “I have been approached by different parties and have put some consideration into it.” Cr Chapman said her final decision to run would depend on her daughter’s health with results due in two weeks. “If her health allows, I would

love to run,” she said. Cr Chapman said she was still developing her platform but had some strong principles. “I will divulge more information closer to the time depending on whether I can run,” she said. “I am giving it due consideration.” If Cr Chapman does run, it is

I have been seriously considering running expected to be in the seat of Bendigo West. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said Cr Chapman had not spoken to her about a preference deal at the election.

CONSIDERATION: Elise Chapman “It is a short time frame for minor party candidates to come

into the picture now (only five months away),” she said. “I wouldn’t expect to hear anything until she is preselected.” Ms Edwards said she hoped Cr Chapman’s policy platform would not be driven on antimosque grounds. “She could run on the antimosque issue, if she is going to drive a campaign based from that kind of response,” she said. “That discussion shouldn’t enter the State Government.” Liberal Party candidate Jack Lyons said he hadn’t spoken to Cr Chapman about preferences. Cr Chapman was “seriously considering” running in the 2013 federal election, courted by Katter’s Australia Party. Cr Chapman decided to put her family first and not run.

Greens name candidate THE Greens announced Jennifer Alden as their candidate for Bendigo East on Wednesday, while taking a swipe at Labor’s election campaign. Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber spoke about the lack of information regarding other parties’ policies. “We really don’t know much about what the Labor opposition might be offering,” he said.

“I think they won’t be committing to very much at all.” “There’s a huge undecided vote out there at the moment, and they’re very open to hear what we’ve got to say.” But, Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan said Labor was committed to offering proper policies for Bendigo. “Greg Barber obviously dosen’t spend a lot of time in re-

Councillors make peace THREE Greater Bendigo councillors have reached a preliminary settlement over a misconduct finding. The Bendigo Weekly revealed in February Cr Lisa Ruffell had been forced to apologise after a government panel made a finding of misconduct against her. The Councillor Code of Conduct Panel found Cr Ruffell breached council’s Code of Conduct seven times in denying natural justice in the treatment of a complaint. The complaint centred around an incident on March 18 last year, where disability organisation Amicus alleged councillors Elise Chapman and Helen Leach acted inappropriately towards one of their clients, a claim that has not been proven.

NEW: Greens leader Greg Barber introduced Jennifer Alden as their candidate for Bendigo East. Photo: STEVE KENDALL gional Victoria, and I understand that his priorities are in metropolitan Melbourne, but Labor has already been working very hard in our local community,” she said. Ms Allan said Labor was committed to the duplication of Napier Street, had a comprehensive jobs plan, and had a transport policy. Dr Alden said she was proud to be standing for the Greens. “I’m really keen to work for a fair and inclusive community,” she said. Dr Alden is a former Women’s Health Loddon Mallee chief

executive officer and a VicHealth senior policy adviser. She co-founded the Bendigo Greens branch in 1995, served as a branch convenor, election committee member and sat on various committees and working groups. “I believe that this community could be better in terms of equitable and fair access to health services, to quality state provided education, to vocational training opportunities,” Dr Alden said. Dr Alden previously ran in the 2006 State Government election for the seat of Northern Vic-

toria and has lived in Bendigo for 32 years. During the launch, Mr Barber spoke about the need for upgrading the use of solar panels within the region. “An important issue for the people in Bendigo is the rising cost of power bills, and solar as the solution to that,” he said Mr Barber also listed the Green’s three-point-plan for solar, which includes the right to connect, fair price for power exported to the grid, and a proposal for the cost of solar power to be paid off over time.

The panel found Cr Ruffell’s handling of the complaint did not give the other two councillors an opportunity to respond. The panel also criticised the handling of the complaint by senior council staff, and recommended a series of changes to council’s Code of Conduct. Cr Ruffell appealed the panel’s finding at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in April. VCAT ordered mediation, which came to a head on Wednesday, with all parties signing off on a settlement. The tribunal still needs to ratify the settlement, which should take about three weeks. The settlement will then be made public. Cr Chapman said the agreement was a positive one. “We have come to a satisfactory agreement,” she said. “I am very satisfied with the outcome and I think all parties were.” There are fears the dispute has damaged council and relationships between councillors. Cr Chapman said the settlement would help things move forward. “It is a way forward so everyone can get on and work together,” she said. “I also believe the outcome will vindicate Cr Leach and myself for a lot of issues.” Cr Ruffell was unavailable for comment.

Uni plans change

By CHRISTINE McGINN

LA Trobe University Bendigo will give its Podiatry and Strategic Communication courses the boot under new restructure plans. The university will make $65 million worth of savings to ensure viability under the increasing financial pressures. Visual arts and graphic design bachelor degrees will be replaced with a Bachelor of Creative Arts course in 2015. The subjects in these courses will still be available but under the new course title. The university will form two colleges from five current faculties. Dwindling student numbers forced the Bendigo campus to cut its double bachelor degrees in science and accounting, business and IT, and accounting and IT. Students enrolled in these courses will be able to continue their studies until the completion of their degree(s). But, business and information technology single bachelor

Restructuring on the cards as La Trobe makes savings degrees will continue. Pro Vice-Chancellor Richard Speed said there were minimal impacts to students and the selections of courses. “We are doing this to release $65 million. We need that cash because nobody is going to make the investments that we need to make on our behalf,” he said. “Education Minister Christopher Pyne has been extremely clear he is not going to increase the amount of money. He has actively invited us to take that money from the next-generation of students. “Every dollar we don’t get out of this savings process we are going to have to look for that with increased fees for those who go through. We don’t think it’s fair to pass on inefficiencies we can see, to students.” Professor Speed said in most cases, courses would be continued or a transition to “a slightly

different offering” would occur. Forty-eight under graduate courses will continue at the Bendigo campus in 2015. Professor Speed it was important to cater to Bendigo, the region and have a larger geographical footprint. “The Bendigo market isn’t big enough to sustain the university at the scale it needs to be. It is also important because the role of the university is to be part of the economic development of Bendigo. We should bring people to Bendigo or bring activity here that wasn’t here before and make it a more attractive place to live and work,” he said. Professor Speed said students would be able to learn at more convenient times with increased use of technology. New online masters courses in Teaching, Nursing, Health Information Management, Human Nutrition and Exercise Science

Flags waving to herald a gathering of writers THE flags went up at the top of View Street this week, in preparation for the third Bendigo Writers Festival across the weekend of August 8 to 10. The banners feature the festival’s new look, with a bright and bold identity to match the busy, lively program. Designed by Bendigo’s Arteria Studio, the festival’s banners and logo will welcome visitors and locals to View Street and The Capital, where the festival takes place. “We’ve also got a new and improved website, that’s just gone live,” BWF artistic director Rosemary Sorensen said. “Bendigo is not too big, not too small, but just the right size for a festival that brings together 100 writers for more than 50 sessions, and we want to showcase the event as well as we possibly can. “This new look helps us do that, letting everyone know we’re ready to roll.” Dymocks Bendigo bookseller Harry Hart started receiving boxes of books this week, enough to stock a small library. “It’s a traditional and lovely

GREATER Bendigo council voted to approve an 86-lot subdivision in Golden Square on Wednesday. The report recommended councillors refuse the staged residential development on land owned by the Catholic Church. The Aspinall Street subdivision will feature 343 square-metre to 918 square-metre lots and a seven-hectare nature reserve. Cr Lisa Ruffell quickly stood to move an alternative motion in favour of the staged subdivision. “We want more growth and more housing. This is a great compromise as we want to grow this area. This is a win-win situation,” she said. Cr Ruffell empathised with the local residents having the development on their doorstop but said progress was needed. Cr Mark Weragoda agreed this was a “better development”. “I think the allotment of recreational areas could add to the whole application,” he said. “It’s residential land in the heart of a residential zone,” Cr Rod Campbell said. But three councillors refused to budge on the development. Cr James Williams said it was important to incorporate the landscape into the design and protect the “patch of bush”. Cr Peter Cox called for a more “organic” outcome and said the applicant had not “understood nature”. “It is not enough to say on the one hand we have this very significant vegetation and then on the other hand, say it we’ve got to make some money out of this land so we can provide important community services. That is not reasonable,” he said. Cr Rod Fyffe said the proposal was “quite frankly, a dud” and its approval would be a disservice to the community. Despite a previous failed attempt to pass a subdivision, councillors’ gave a majority approval. Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst business manager Cameron Fraser said the first stage of development would start in October based on council approval. Stage one involves 35 lots, expected to be ready by Easter 2015. Stages two and three will be completed by 2015 and 2016. “This development provides a fair outcome for all stakeholders and will be of great benefit to the community,” he said. The Bishop’s residence will be downsized to meet community expectations with funds going back into the church.

We are a business where 60 per cent of our cost is salaries and it is extraordinarily difficult to make the changes we need to make to cope with the future without job losses,” Professor Speed said. “We are not in a position to talk about what the job losses will be until we have got to the end of the consultation process.” Job positions will be advertised in early August with the final model expected to be fully adopted over the summer break. “We need to make sure we are ready to train the people we need. If we are not sure if we can get the funding externally, we need to be ready to fund it internally, otherwise we are not ready to go,” he said.

Hotel complex plans expansion and serviced apartments

Foundry forges ahead By CHRISTINE McGINN

THE Foundry Hotel Complex has unveiled plans for a $3.5 million upgrade. The expansion includes 15 serviced apartments, 20 more pokie machines and a new function room. The apartments will be at the 14 Old High Street, 33 and 35 Shamrock Street and 10 Rose Street sites. The Old High and Rose streets frontages will be converted to serviced apartments with the rear partially demolished for parking or more serviced apartments. The Shamrock Street sites

would be retained and transformed into serviced apartments with a caretaker’s residence. Owner Michael Kuchel said they wanted to grow the business and develop “high quality accommodation”. “We see ourselves as a destination venue and believe we should have the full suite of entertainment options and accommodation for patrons,” he said. “Apartments are very expensive to build and we need to add revenue (pokies) to build this accommodation. “We are very respectful of due process and we’d love to stay in Golden Square, keep growing

and add to the community.” The planning application also seeks to increase its pokies to 45 and extend trading hours for their operation. “The proposed additional machines and hours of operation are acceptable in this location, noting that the venue is not situated in an area where impulse gambling would occur,” the application at council said. “While the social and economic profile of the patron catchment shows some signs of disadvantage this is offset by the fact that the venue is not in an area discouraged for gaming by policy.” Greater Bendigo’s Gaming

Policy disallows additional pokie machines within the CBD and prefers “accessible but not convenient” venues. The hotel has the least amount of pokies of the city’s 11 gaming venues. Under the proposal, the existing gaming room would be moved to a new gaming room facing Old High Street. The planning application also seeks to build a new 125-squaremetre function room, courtyard and entry from the carpark. Due to the extension, the Foundry Hotel also needs to change its liquor licence to extend across the entire premises. Council is yet to consider it.

Subdivision knocked back to save home A FORMER Housing Commission “heritage” house in Long Gully has been saved from demolition. The three-lot subdivision application was rejected at Wednesday night’s Greater Bendigo council meeting. Councillors voted to save the home for its “heritage” values. Five councillors supported the heritage advisor’s recommendation against the demolition of the 1950s Bennett Street conite house. “The property forms part of a wider residential precinct. Most notably, the dwelling forms part of an intact row of early commission houses facing Bennett Street,” the report said. “Style in the wider area is characterised by single storey, detached dwellings, generally constructed from lightweight cladding materials and feature hip and gable roofs.” Cr Peter Cox led the charge, highliting the site’s heritage overlay. “Heritage keeps us challenged, he said. “This tells us about the devel-

opment of the Long Gully area.” “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put a heritage overlay on this type of building in Bendigo.” Cr Rod Campbell agreed, noting the “strong and consistent streetscape”. “This challenges our understanding of the retention of heritage, and how desperate we are to have residential development,” he said. “The utilisation of this land for public housing development is representative of the socio-economic origins and development of the Long Gully area,” the city’s heritage adviser said. “While not architecturally impressive, this dwelling makes a nice contribution to a reasonably consistent/uniform collection of houses that represent an important phase in Bendigo’s history.” However, the public park, children’s playground, Scope disability offices and a state-owned vacant property do not fit into the wider residential precinct.

roadside sales illegal RESIDENTS and visitors are reminded selling cars on nature strips is illegal. Under state legislation and local law, it is a punishable offence, a $100 fine, to have a vehicle or other goods, for sale on public land. Greater Bendigo council Environmental Health and Local Laws manager Susannah Milne said it was an unsafe practice. “Illegally parked cars can be a traffic hazard, cause traffic congestion and can be a distraction for drivers. The local law is implemented with the support of police to keep traffic moving and people safe,” Ms Milne said. Ms Milne said council conducted spot checks every few months and would carefully monitor cars for sale parked on roadsides or reserves. Anyone wishing to report a vehicle or goods being sold on public land can contact council on 5434 6000.

solar power in use KANGAROO Flat Gateway Park is shining bright as Greater Bendigo council trials the use of solar light bollards. Council Engineering and Public Space manager Brett Martini said seven new solar light bollards had been installed in the trial, to illuminate walking paths. “We are keen to see how well this type of lighting of the pathways works at Gateway Park and we will monitor the lights to see if they are suitable for the community’s needs into the future,” he said. “Similar solar light bollards have been in operation in places like New York’s Central Park for around five years so it will be an interesting exercise for the city to undertake.”

tobacco sales checked

HERITAGE BUILDING: This 1950s conite house will be left intact. Cr Helen Leach opposed the retention of the building and did not understand why it needed to be preserved. “It would be much better to demolish it and have new homes so someone could actually have a comfortable home,” she said. “I thought heritage was older than 1950s.” Cr Elise Chapman agreed it was

best to demolish the home and believed the house was “not what heritage was all about”. The property is an irregularsized block, at 798.6 square metres, zoned in a residential area. “I don’t understand why councillors want to preserve this building. It’s absolutely ridiculous to maintain this building,” Cr Lisa Ruffell said.

TOBACCO retailers are warned they will be fined if caught selling tobacco to youth. Greater Bendigo council Environmental Health and Local Laws manager Susannah Milne said three out of 19 businesses failed the recent round of tobacco purchasing tests. Individuals can be given a $590 on-the-spot fine while businesses will receive an $8856 fine. Council train and recruit test purchasing teenager assistants to undertake the program to ensure tobacco is not sold to minors under the Tobacco Act 1987.

DANCE STANCE: Aboriginal dancers at the flag raising ceremony. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By SAM KANE

LOCALS gathered in the Civic Gardens on Monday to celebrate the beginning of NAIDOC Week with a flag-raising ceremony. NAIDOC Week is a national event held annually in which indigenous and non-indigenous people are encouraged to celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by attending local events. Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-operative chairperson Aunty Lyn Warren said the week helped to bring everyone together. “This week is a celebration of

our people and how far we have come,” she said. “It also encourages everyone to get out and celebrate.” The Bendigo Aboriginal Dance Group also performed on the lawns of the garden with dances explaining the Dreamtime stories. Organisations in Bendigo were also presented with more than 25 Aboriginal flags, acknowledging the important contributions of indigenous people in helping to shape our local community. Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons said the city was pleased to support NAIDOC Week

celebrations. “It is appropriate the celebrations are held in the Civic Gardens, next to where the Aboriginal flag flies permanently and proudly above the Town Hall each day,” he said. Events held within the week include an elders day, three flagraising ceremonies and a children’s day. The celebrations conclude with an awards evening at the All Seasons. The theme for NAIDOC Week this year, Serving Country – Centenary and Beyond, recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have served

in Australia’s defence forces, as well as the Aboriginal men and women who were not acknowledged when they returned home from battle. But for Aunty Lyn, the week holds a special place in her heart. “Even though the pain is still there, it is about moving forward,” she said. More information about events within the Greater Bendigo region can be found at the council’s website (www.bendigo.vic.gov. au), Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-operative, the Bendigo Visitors Information Centre, the Bendigo Library, or the council office in Lyttleton Terrace.

Cuts will bite deep By CHRISTINE McGINN

EPSOM mother Lisa Matthews and her terminallyill daughter Kira are scared about their financial security under a recent Federal Government budget proposal. “Kira is deteriorating as we speak. She is bed ridden,” full-time carer Ms Matthews said. “I am waiting for her to die. What Kira has is a rare disease and tumour and it is the most rare and deadly she could have got. She is alright in spirit but in more and more pain.” Kira, aged 17, has a malignant peripheral nerve

sheath tumour and has beaten the odds, only given two months to live after Christmas. Ms Matthews said if the changes to the Family Tax Benefits are approved, she will struggle to fund her daughter’s living and medical needs, and hers. “It is just not fair. I am very scared this budget will come in,” she said. “We get so much equipment free, but we have been told we would need to pay $600 every month for a wheelchair. I can’t pay that and her medical bills. “It is now just that hard. I am buying equipment, food, medical supplies and

Giselle quilted tote bag .95

things to clean her down. These things add up. I’m trying to pay the bills but how I do I afford this?” Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters called on the government to roll out Disability Care and help families. “Families do struggle to pay those out of pocket costs,” she said. “There are a number of local organisations people can be referred to help them with increasing costs. But this is why we need the National Disability Insurance Scheme because it is only going to get worse if the changes to the FTB A and B are approved.

“We are in a situation that has a progressive tax system, not because we seek help now but for our neighbour or in the future. “That’s why we need an overhaul so that people who need the service can access it. The NDIS is an umbrella to discuss the person’s needs... It is one door to walk through.” Ms Matthews receives a disability pension for her daughter and a carer’s pension for herself and said any cuts would hurt. But, Ms Matthews had a win, fighting a $40 an hour charge for a professional to come and assist her daughter.

mestic competitions and kids are playing late at night. “We need more courts now, in fact we needed them two years ago.” A feasibility study showed the entire city was at least four basketball courts behind where it should be.

“We also need a major events facility, as we are also turning events away,” Mr Wallace said. “We can put up about half of what is needed and we are looking for at least $5m from the State Government to get the first stage going.“ Mr Liacos said the stadium was a vital part of the city’s economic strategy, and future. “It is important we have quality infrastructure and facilities throughout Greater Bendigo to ensure strong sustainable economic benefits,” he said.

It is vital that it expands to ensure it prospers and continues to deliver great outcomes “This does not just relate to so-called ‘hard’ road, rail, water, education and healthtype infrastructure, but also all-important liveability and major events and promotional infrastructure. “The Bendigo Stadium is a classic case in point. It not only serves a local day-to-day service and need for the community but it also offers Bendigo a powerful regional standard attractor of major events and gatherings. “It is vital that it expands to ensure it prospers and continues to deliver great outcomes. “You can never take your eye off the ball, competition forever lurks and threatens.”

BENDIGO school children now have the opportunity to learn about traffic management and road safety with a portable VicRoads traffic management interactive. The Bendigo Discovery and Technology Centre will host the interactive until late September. There is also a permanent version of the display at the long-term Scienceworks exhibition called Think Ahead. The display has been developed to provide school-aged children the opportunity to learn about and solve traffic related problems that occur in towns and cities across Victoria. VicRoads regional director Mal Kersting said he was delighted the children of Bendigo would have the opportunity to solve traffic problems. “This is a great opportunity for children to learn about issues that pop-up throughout the day on our road system, not just in Bendigo but around Victoria, and the steps taken to solve the problems,” he said. “Negotiating everyday issues such as helping emergency service vehicles reach a fire, clearing a spill on a highway and transporting a crowd to a big event, are all scenarios addressed in the interactive. “There’s nothing we enjoy more than helping young people learn and develop a better understanding of the importance of safety on our roads.”

ROAD SKILLS: Ava and Ruby Hore with Holly Leonard. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN The VicRoads traffic game will be on display at the Bendigo Discovery Science and Technology Centre daily from 10am to 4pm until the end of

September. Admission is $11.50 for adults and $43 for families. Children under five are free.

2014 WORLD CUP

What’s on

Brazil hosts a classic IN my time in Brazil I’ve seen first hand what a place of sheer contrasts it is. The contrasts consist of the picture postcard beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, to the dust bowls and favelas of Cuiaba, to the sweeping skyscrapers and seemingly endless expanse that is São Paulo. Then there is the thundering sound of 40 separate waterfalls descending at the one place in Iguassu; and the rolling green hills, almost akin to Bavarian Germany, that go down to the south of the country in Porto Alegre and Gramado. Travel is undoubtedly a huge passion of mine, only beaten by sport. And boy, do Brazilians love their sport, namely football. Brazil is universally regarded as it’s spiritual home. While in Australia we enjoy watching sport, playing it, and discussing it, we know nothing of real passion for it. For people here it is a religion. An obsession. Where as we mutter names like Cahill, Jedinak and Postecoglou as sporting stars and prominent identities, here names like Neymar Jr, David Luis, Fred, Hulk and co are not stars, they are gods. It is their deeds on the field that dictate an entire nation’s psyche; whether they will be exuberantly happy, or devastatingly sad, it all depends on that final scoreline. But here’s the catch. Winning isn’t everything here, it’s the manner in how they do it. It has to be the Brazilian way – a scrappy, ugly 1-0 win, while accepted, will not be celebrated. Work that out? Day or night, rain or sunshine, on sand, grass, concrete or mud, you will never travel far in Brazil

without being witness to one of hundreds of football matches being played. I had the fortune on one of our non-match days during the World Cup to head to a community school on the outskirts of Curitiba. I was able to present them with a brand new Brazuca official World Cup match ball. The look on their faces when their translator said the ball was theirs just not to look at but to keep was an amazing moment. Smiles as wide as I’ve ever seen. These kids played with the techniques and skills of 40 year veterans, and the flair and inhibi-

The Australian teams’ performances here, while ultimately unsuccessful with three losses, were full of courage and had plenty of encouraging signs for the future ahead.

While it’s not the Aussie way to praise and celebrate defeats on the world stage, we came in with reasonably low expectations anyway. And hey, a miracle moment in the last match of the World Cup will probably be responsible for the goal of the tournament, thanks to Timmy Cahill’s wonder strike against the Dutch, a real goose-

bump moment. Something for us to hang our hats on at least. While the football has been an ever-present background noise, and the number one reason for me being here, it’s the people that make this place. Their passion, their verve for life, and their smiles, despite clear and obvious hardship for many, is a joy to see.

Wellsford forest does not need to be a park Why does Bendigo need a new national park to consume the rest of the Wellsford State Forest? The vast majority of forests around the Bendigo area are already parks. The Greater Bendigo council recently adopted a report, though not unanimously, recommending support for the new national park. This report is flawed, however. No groups adversely affected by a national park proclamation were consulted. The report states that parks attract more funding. If this is the case, why are the roads in the current Wellsford parks in such disrepair compared to the Wellsford Forest? Where will this extra funding come from? Will fees be introduced, as per government policy, for the proposed national park? I know the Wellsford forest well, and spend a lot of time in it, far more than the councillors who voted for the report. I have never seen bushwalkers or bike riders. I have seen dog walkers, people metal detecting and horse riders. The report, to council, states “Activities such as horse riding, prospecting, and dog walking can be considered, and if appropriate, catered for…”. Who will consider “if appropriate”? Protecting those large heritage trees can easily be done by making the small areas nature conservation reserves. Making the whole forest a national park will be costly overkill and will adversely affect those who currently utilise and enjoy the area. Name and address supplied

Labor guessing numbers BeNdIGo Labor parliamentarians have gone doomsday mad in Bendigo (Bendigo Weekly online, July 1). Labor is peering into a crystal ball, divining health funding for Victoria’s hospitals and with their incorrect figures, are declaring the end of the world. once the final allocation figure is known, the Victorian Government will be in a position to advise health services directly of their 2014-15 budgets. Until the final outcome is known, there will be no change to health service activity. And until that final figure is known neither Lisa Chesters, Jacinta Allan nor Maree edwards would have a clue what that figure is actually going to

be. The truth is Labor cut over $9 million from Bendigo health while the Victorian Coalition Government has increased funding by over $30 million. Jacinta Allan’s claims about Bendigo health’s performance are false. Bendigo health is performing well across a number of indicators including reductions in the elective surgery waiting list, 100 per cent completion of category one surgeries and an ambulance transfer rate of 89.9 per cent. Bendigo Labor MPs were complicit when Julia Gilliard and Tanya Plibersek slashed $107 million from Victorian hospitals. The Victorian Government is advocating very strongly to ensure it gets every single dollar it’s entitled to. David Davis, Minister for Health

Wait until the commission has judged ALThoUGh I am not a regular reader of your newspaper, it arrives unbidden in my letterbox each weekend and it is difficult not to notice the front page stories. For some time now, your paper has run headline stories on St Aidan’s orphanage and of the allegations of abuse on the part of the Good Shepherd Sisters. In the interests of fair reporting might it not be reasonable to suggest that perhaps not all of the nuns were sexual predators and deviants? Perhaps one or two of them – perhaps even the majority – were women who had selflessly devoted their lives to the care of those forgotten members of society who, at the time, the secular system simply either ignored or discarded. Might it not also be in the interest of fair reporting to consider the likely fate of those orphans, many consigned to the convent by court order according to your report, had they been left “on the street” so to speak? And maybe you should wait until the commission has done its work before passing judgement. With a little diligent work, your reporters might be able to obtain figures for child abuse within family households in the Bendigo region and compare those with the alleged rate in institutions. you will of course want to point out that the Good Shepherd nuns were in a position of trust. So are all parents in relation to their children.

Trust, in fact, is no less applicable to newspapers than to any particular person or institution. We trust you to report fairly. Finally, for the record, I attended three different Catholic boarding schools right throughout my school-days and was taught both by nuns and brothers. Never was I abused and never was I undeservedly punished. Neither have any of my school-day friends still living reported abuse to me, then or now. To the selfless sacrifice of these people I owe my education and my later, successful career. All of my teachers are now dead and cannot defend themselves. I at least owe them this letter. Brian Coman, Strathfieldsaye

Unfair university fees IT has become increasingly evident that this Liberal Federal Government does not support rural and regional young Australians in their efforts to pursue tertiary education. They are already under represented in all major universities and it is obviously more difficult for country students to relocate to the larger cities to attend universities. In order to study their chosen course it is often necessary to move, some courses also require reloca-

tion after one or two years at a regional university, to a Melbourne campus. The options of living in campus residences or renting in the suburbs means a minimum amount of $8000 for rent, often much higher, plus services and food. Most students work to make ends meet and have some parental support. It is becoming increasingly difficult to pick up part time or casual work as people have to remain in the workforce longer. My daughter, who has worked since she was 14 in several different industries and is very well presented, applied for over 70 positions before she picked up part time work at a bakery starting at 5.30am. It is much easier for local students who can continue to live at home and often have contacts within their community to help them gain work. With the proposed withdrawal of the youth allowance for lower income earners this means parents will now have to fully support their children to live away from home, if there are several children within one family, this may mean they do not have this opportunity. The plan to push students to gain employment and only pay youth allowance for six months of each year will greatly limit the

number of country students, regardless of higher ATAR scores, who can afford university. Many students who also have large periods of time doing placements during their course will be paying rent twice as these placements can be any where in the state. This also limits their opportunity to hold a part time position when they could be hundreds of kilometres away. If we add higher heCS debts to this and unregulated university fees it is obvious that tertiary education in this country is certainly for the wealthy. They also benefit because they pay this debt yearly and therefore get the discounted rate, their children come out debt free while our kids, who work just as hard to gain the required entrance score, end up with a huge debt, which is now going to rise even more. obviously Tony Abbott (whose daughter received a $60,000 scholarship) and his cronies do not have any comprehension of the financial hardship which many regional families deal with on a daily basis, and the very real and difficult choices which must be made by their children regarding their life direction and future opportunities.

The powerful new Australian concert drama Rolling Thunder Vietnam will world premiere in Brisbane on 14 August 2014 prior to a national tour. Set in the Vietnam War era, the evocative and stirring production showcases some of the greatest rock songs ever produced performed by some of Australia’s greatest singer-actors and musicians. The show features the music of Steppenwolf, Joe Cocker, Buffalo Springfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Gladys Knight, Billy Thorpe, The Rolling Stones and Curtis Mayfield just to name a few. Rolling Thunder Vietnam brings to the stage a new generation of young musical talent under the esteemed music direction of Chong Lim (Dancing With The Stars, John Farnham Band) The Vietnam War was the world’s first televised war. More than any other conflict it produced some of the most popular and

enduring songs of the 20th century. Music in the 60’s meant liberation, not only for the battle-weary young soldiers, but for a generation of artists whose timely yet enduring songs held a mirror up to the chaos, and expressed themes of love, betrayal and loss. Be among the first to see the exciting theatrical concert Rolling Thunder Vietnam in its Australian premiere season.

Stadium a winner ANYONE who has spent time at any Bendigo motel on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays knows the importance to this city of the Bendigo Stadium. Each weekend hundreds of kids and their parents descend on Bendigo for a tournament of some kind, whether it be basketball, volleyball or netball. Add to this the major events such as Bendigo Spirit games, the recent Goldfields snooker international, and numerous concerts, and it could easily be argued the stadium does more for this city’s economy than the art gallery. With this in mind, finding money for the expansion of the stadium should be a no-brainer. As far as economic development goes, this facility is gold. It brings a lot of people in from everywhere, all year round.

In the 2012-13 financial year there were 25 major events at the stadium. Those events were attended by almost 60,000 people. Of those, 40,000 were local and 20,000 were from out of town. The stadium even had to refuse bookings from events. But the stadium is not just for tourists. Each weeknight, thousands of kids and their parents attend to play and watch basketball and volleyball. The program is so full, the stadium is turning players and teams away. In 2006 our water system was broken and the government fixed it. In 2010 our hospital was bursting at the seams and the government fixed it.

Supported Residential Care

It is time the Bendigo Stadium problem was fixed. Three new courts would help the flow of weekday sport, and a 3000-seat showcourt would benefit the city’s senior sporting teams, help attract more concerts and events, and allow for internationalcalibre sporting events to become regular. We are five months out from a state election, and the time is now for political candidates to start working out how to make this work. The ball is now in the court of Jacinta Allan, Maree Edwards, Greg Bickley and Jack Lyons. If we miss out this time around, it will be years before funding is found. By that time, one of our city’s greatest assets will be suffering from constant full-court press.

RECENT events that continue to unfold somewhere on the high seas far from Bendigo have the potential to both deeply divide and embarrass our nation, as the fate of a group of wouldbe asylum seekers remains shrouded in mystery. Supporters of a more compassionate approach to asylum seekers say Australia cannot simply put up the shutters and pretend that there is no large scale humanitarian problem continuing to unfold in so many trouble spots around the globe. Our government cannot take international law into its own hands and in the face of strong condemnation from other nations, look to ‘process’ asylum seekers at sea. And while it may well be 200 days or so since a boat carrying asylum seekers arrived in Australia, the fact Australia has ‘successfully’ repelled others is not something to be proud of. Ever. No one wants to see thousands of would-be refugees continue to flee their country

and expose themselves to the horrors of the high seas, where countless lives have been lost in recent years in tragic circumstances. But simply turning back boats is not the answer for our nation, or the rest of the world either. That these displaced people

simply accept every asylum seeker boat on compassionate grounds either. But this is not just Australia’s responsibility though, it’s the world’s. Claims that Sri Lanka is anything but a country at peace with itself these days after a brutal and bloody civil war need to

might no longer be looking to come to Australia as their preferred option is a symptom of the federal government’s strong stance, but none of this means the problem has gone away – it’s just shifted elsewhere. Until more is done to resolve the circumstances that continues to force people to flee their homeland in the first place, people will continue to do so. That’s why this complicated, sensitive and overwhelmingly humanitarian issue has never been as simple as to

be properly investigated – not by Australia, but the United Nations, an organisation that needs to do so much more in areas of need to reflect especially the first word of its title. No one has the answers to the problem as it has existed for many years now, but once again, doing more to alleviate problems in hotspots around the globe has to be paramount. But sadly, that’s long proven to be easier said than done.

Blues back at the Goldmines

WES, brews, stews and blues are back at the Goldmines Hotel for this annual showcase of great lamb-based food, top craft beers and great blues and roots music. The event is from the stable of the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival and kicks off at noon on Sunday, July 20, running until 7pm. Performers include John-Luke Shelley, Jojo Smith, Archer, Alanna and Alicia Egan, Tony J King, The Lone Vanguard (aka: Dale Lindrea), Birdhouse, Aaron Wales, Urban Creatures, Bendigo Uke Group, Jo Woodward and Luke Harrington. “More will be announced,” festival director Colin Thompson said. “Central to the program will be the second heat of the Lazenby Young Blues Guitarist Award, which will see another three amazing young guitarists take the stage with our house band and drop jaws with their abilities as they compete for the chance to win a US made Fender Stratocaster electric guitar.” Thompson said there is plenty of talent forming in the wings. “Come out and support the next generation of blues oriented shredders as they take the stage and display their incredible talent,” he said.

T Last – The Etta James Story is a twohour narrative concert starring Vika Bull. Etta has been recognised as bridging the gap between rhythm and blues, rock and roll to pop. During a long career Etta influenced a vast array of artists from a variety of genres and musical styles including The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross, Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder and contemporary acts such as Christina Aguilera and Amy Winehouse. Sadly, her frantic recording and touring schedule coincided with her ever-growing addiction problems and over time Etta not only sang the blues, she lived the blues. Vika brings her heart, soul and funk to tell the story of Etta’s turbulent life and sing her best loved songs including Tell Mama, Something’s Got A Hold On Me, Pushover, and the heartrending I’d Rather Go Blind, her iconic signature song At Last and more. Vika Bull will be joined on stage by the Essential R & B Band. The show is tonight at 8pm at The Capital, Bendigo. Tickets $45 to $69 from www.thecapital.com.au

ROYAL VIEW: Anna Fletcher and Frances Hartog with Queen Victoria’s underpants. Photos: ANDREW PERRYMAN

All is revealed E

VERYONE will remember the scene from Gone with the Wind when Scarlett is getting ready for the barbecue and her Mammy is tightening the strings of her corset. “Hold on and suck it in,” Mammy says. That Scarlett couldn’t breath or eat was irrelevant to the proceedings. Wasp like waists were the fashion and women were prepared to suffer for beauty – and still are. Examples of rather gorgeous corsets and other items of underwear are currently being put on display for the Bendigo Art Gallery’s next exhibition, “Undressed: 350 Years of Underwear in Fashion”. The corsets seem improbably tight and colourful which leads one to assume that they were not only designed to create a shape but to be garments of allure. Probably the most non-sexy garment on display is Queen Victoria’s drawers. Not the young Queen Victoria but more like the Queen Victoria who currently glares at us from Rosalind Park every day. The collective media gathered in great anticipation for the unveiling of this extraordinary garment. As Anna Fletcher and Frances Hartog reverently and slowly unpacked the drawers and held them up for all to gaze at, there was a uniform gasp. The drawers are big and white and well, big and white. They are also embroidered with a crown, the initials

Queen Victoria would pass on her used underwear to grateful servants. If you think about it, walking around wearing the Queen’s knickers would put quite a lift to your step. But even more fascinating was Ms Fitzgibbon’s revelation that until the 1860s women rarely wore knickers at all. Quelle Horreur! Yes going commando was the convention in a society when women

wore long petticoats and dresses and undies were deemed not necessary at all, in fact it was considered de rigueur. But back to those corsets, so entrenched were they as items of underwear, that to go without a corset was seen as risqué or lazy or both. “You can imagine what it was like for

women who suffered through Australia’s hot summers and felt compelled to wear the corsets or stays,” Ms Fitzgibbon said. Ms Fitzgibbon’s other observation was that women currently use diet and exercise to achieve a fashionable shape rather than corsetry or brassieres. Other garments of note were the mono bosoms, popular in the Edwardian era when undergarments gave women one big anonymous bust shape. You can only imagine what young boys thought was going on under there. The designers to bring underwear into high fashion in the last century include Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and Calvin Klein. Gorgeous and fascinating, the chaps as well as the ladies will gain a lot of pleasure from Undressed. Organised by the museum of art and design, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Undressed will be launched at the Bendigo Art Gallery on July 19. – Dianne Dempsey

Up close and personal Under Seige By Belinda Neil, Harlequin

EADING Belinda Neil’s memoir about her career as a homicide detective and police negotiator is as close you can get to white knuckle moments and surges of adrenalin without putting yourself through the trauma of facing off violent crims. As well as describing her exciting job with the NSW Police

Force, Belinda also reveals the terrible price she paid for years of excitement and stress. A severe case of post traumatic stress disorder meant that she had to leave the job she so loved. To hear Belinda talk first hand about her experiences you can attend a breakfast function at the Shamrock Hotel on Friday, August 1.

ENDIGO writer Julie Proudfoot’s debut novel won the Seizure literary journal’s Viva La Novella Prize earlier this year. And it is quickly apparent why the novel has distinguished itself. The Neighbour is assured, compelling and claustrophobic; the latter quality by no means detracts from the tension and suspense of the novel but rather enhances it. The setting rarely strays, until the very end, from the two houses of neighbours who live side by side. At the novel’s start Luke does a favour for his neighbours by cutting off their electricity so they can move their swimming pool into their backyard; but in doing so, when he reconnects the electricity he electrocutes the entire house. Subsequently his neighbour’s little daughter is frizzled in what is an exceptionally gruesome death. The rest of the book is a concerned with the reactions of the two couples and in particular that of Luke. As Luke disintegrates into a morass of guilt we have to

T’S strange what happens out there in the ether. No sooner had Caitlin Moran published How to Build a Girl, then along comes the music journalist and Time Out Melbourne editor Jenny Valentish with her debut novel Cherry Bomb. Basically autobiographical, Moran’s novel is set in Wolverhampton and London and details the coming of age story of a young girl who breaks into the punk music writing scene through sheer chutzpa. Jenny Valentish, a music writer who defected from London to Australia has

also been in a couple of bands herself and exploits her material to the max. Her fictional hero is Nina Dall and her band is The Dolls. While How to Build a Girl is more concerned with the emotional turmoils of her heroine Johanna Morrigan – fat, lots of makeup and wears a top hat – Cherry Bomb is more focused on giving us the back-stage view of life on the road. The fights, the booze, the drugs and sex. It’s all rather fun really and if you’ve ever harboured a desire to front a rock band, Cherry Bomb will save you the cost and expense of hang-overs, bust-ups and blow-outs. Jenny Valentish will be appearing at the Bendigo Writers festival.

weekly words with Steve Kendall

Roasting for the gas man

am really not happy with the gas delivery man. Every four weeks or so in winter he is supposed to bring his big truck up our drive and pump in the gas. This month he decided it was too muddy so he didn’t deliver. I can see his point, it has rained a bit and part of my yard has gone very muddy. When this was an issue before I just asked him to ring and let me know. All that is needed is care with truck placement, his 20-metre hose could handle the rest. I heard nothing so assumed all was well. Never assume.

I received a call this week letting me know he had not been able to deliver two weeks ago. I checked the cylinder and found it was at four per cent. Considering I use gas for heating, cooking and hot water this has created a bit of a problem. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall and I have resorted to microwaves, wood fires and cold showers. Fantastic time of the year for it. Let me clarify here. I am not upset he was not able to deliver, though he was, I am fed up because he didn’t think to let me know. I guess he thought he’d

teach me a lesson for my muddy drive and let me run out of gas. I made a call to remedy the situation, only to be told deliveries were all booked up because of the cold weather. What’s more there was too much mud so he wouldn’t deliver anyway. By this point I was grumpy. There is a remedy of course, all I need to do is take a trailer into town and load up the 45-kilogram cylinder, bring it home, unload it, disconnect the bulk tank and connect the little cylinder. Easy enough, I just didn’t think it was part of the deal.

Then again, as I am feeling particularly grumpy about this, I could write one of those complaint letters. “Dear Sir” etc. Whatever, I think the driver needs to grow some, and also realise he is in customer service. This means he needs to worry about the person paying his wages, not whether his truck may get dirty. Jayden has drawn a nice cartoon suggesting a remedy to my situation, but I will more likely choose another gas firm, making sure my present company knows why I have left. Twitter@stevekendall1

dear dotty... Dear Dotty I recently attended a concert which consisted of folk musicians performing for an audience of folk music lovers. I was intrigued by the dress code. Women wore short dresses over long un-even skirts, topped by vague woolly jumpers and beanies on their heads. There was also a propensity for them to dye their hair purple, blue or red. Oh and boots, they all wore boots. Their clothes were so old and unfashionable they were beyond vintage – almost Jurassic really. As for the men they sported huge beer guts, all the better for bellowing with I suppose. These beer guts were unsuccessfully disguised by large anonymous hand woven woollen jumpers which were in such a state of unravelling that I was anxious that they would catch on something and come apart. One more point. They all had miniature guitars. Is this a sign of poverty? Bemused, Cynthia Dear Cynthia, And just think what they wear when relaxing at home? I think this is the secret to the folk-music scene dress code. Do not look sexy. I fear for them, they will breed themselves out before they know what has happened. Or maybe this is just a way of keeping the folk scene exclusive – sort of like the Quaker movement. About the miniature guitars, I think you are refer-

ring to ukuleles. These have become the instrument of choice for many music lovers these days. And along with moth eaten, unravelling jumpers they are also decidedly un-sexy. Can you imagine Bono playing the ukulele or Eric Clapton? PS. Don’t be deceived by appearances, many of these folk persons are very well off, they are particularly good at property investment. It’s a bit like hanging out with a cool crowd at school who profess they don’t study and at the end of the year discovering they all got into medicine. Dear Dotty, Many of my friends are going to the gym. They make me feel inadequate and guilty, should I cave in and enrol? Concerned, Carol Dear Carol, Welcome to BOG – Bugger Off Gyms. This is a group which has been recently formed to protest against people who discriminate against people who don’t go to gym. Women who go to gym ponce around in lycra, wear a look of smug superiority and obviously haven’t seen themselves in the mirror from behind. Twitter@DearDotty

Power of mind proves beneficial T

HE Virtual Gastric Band Program is a hypnotic program conducted over four weekly sessions. In the first session participants are convinced they have undergone bariatric surgery to reduce the size of their stomach. The following three further sessions deal with the psychological triggers to eating. “The hypnotherapy is like ‘flicking a switch in the brain’, turning off food cravings and eating only much smaller amounts,” clinical hypnotherapist Angelo Sette said. “It’s not a diet, and there is nothing magical or mystical about hypnotherapy, instead it is a method that enables a person to help themselves.” Personalised sessions are conducted on a one-to-one basis. Sessions are designed to bring about a permanent change in eating habits. “It creates new habits to get participants where they

want to be and enable them to remain there.” The program also includes support CDs, designed to reinforce the new messages that will bring about a permanent change in eating behaviour. The progress of the first 350 people to complete the Virtual Gastric Band Program has been documented. Three hundred and forty five participants or 98.5 per cent achieved a positive result. The total combined weight loss at the completion was an impressive 1680 kg and the total number of centimetres lost was 6.150 metres, equating to an average weight loss of 4.79kg and 16cm per person, after just four weeks. Of course, these figures are just averages, so some participants lost more and some lost less than average. Phone 1300 116 117 or visit their website www.hypnoticweightloss.com.au for more details.

IABETES is a health priority, with more than 200 Australians developing type 2 diabetes daily. The number of people with type 2 diabetes is growing, as a result of obesity rates, lifestyle and dietary changes, and an ageing population. Within 20 years, the number of people in Australia with type 2 diabetes may increase from an estimated 870,000 in 2014, to more than 2.5 million, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners . RACGP president Dr Liz Marles said more than 83 per cent of Australians visit a GP annually, putting doctors at the forefront of prevention, diagnosis and management of this serious and complex condition. “It is possible to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through the implementation of a simple lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight through a nutritious diet and increased activity,” Dr Marles said. “If left undiagnosed or poorly managed, type 2 diabetes can have serious health implications

Pharmacist warns of added health risk

IABETES is Australia’s fastest growing chronic disease with two million Australians at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to Eaglehawk UFS pharmacist Sarah Standen. ‘This is very scary, because unfortunately having diabetes doesn’t just mean having high blood sugar,” Sarah said. “Diabetes dramatically increases your risk of serious complications including heart disease, stroke, blindness, limb amputation,

kidney failure and nerve damage.” Eaglehawk UFS Dispensary can now check your risk of developing type 2 diabetes using a simple two minute questionnaire. National Diabetes Week, July 13 to 19 is the perfect time for you to monitor your risk and discover ways of avoiding or delaying the onset of diabetes, through lifestyle changes. Even if you already have diabetes the staff at Eaglehawk UFS Dispensary can help you stay in control

and active. “We are an NDSS subagent, so our team can help you manage your diabetes with our comprehensive range of blood glucose monitors, glucose testing strips, needles and lancets,” Sarah said. “We can also help you find a comfortable pair of Orthoheel shoes, monitor your blood pressure, or help you quit smoking.” Eaglehawk UFS Dispensary, 50 High Street, Eaglehawk, phone 5446 8203.

Book for the cafe W

HILE it seems half the world is tripping off to sunnier climates, a school holiday at home gives us the chance to check out some local eating spots that are not on our usual rotation. Getting up and out of pyjamas early saw us lining up to enter the transformed Bendigo library as it opened. Motivated by the hope that it will mean quiet kids reading the afternoon away, we had the spectacular kids section to ourselves and had soon collected a swag of books to carry home. On this cold lazy morning, it was a great chance to settle into one of the best parts of the new library, the wonderfully named Red Well Cafe. Operated by Simone and Randall from Sim’r Cafe across the road, Red Well Cafe is the perfect addition to a library outing. As we settled into our table, we found ourselves having to pause and admire the view. Warm and cosy inside, looking

through the huge glass windows, the Town Hall was looking spectacular in the chilly outside. The cafe stocks all the usual cafe fare that can be easily prepped in the small space. The real appeal though is how easy it is to entertain children in the cafe as they eagerly devour a book or magazine. I hatch a plan that surely I could find an hour or two a week to sit here over a coffee (made with my favourite Jonesy’s milk) and work my way through the extensive magazine collection. But the true test. Red Well Cafe passed with flying colours the disaster of our littlest reader knocking over his hot chocolate. Quick on the scene the staff mopped up the spillage, reassured someone who thought they could be in “big trouble” and then presented a replacement, complete with the cutest mini marshmallows. As if we needed any more convincing to go back again

Christmas fare at the market M

ANY Australians have long given up on traditional Christmas food. We’ve developed our own traditions, based on foods more suited to summer weather; seafood, salads and cold, light desserts. But we also love and miss the English and European traditions that come from experiencing a wintery Christmas. So – while the weather is still actually appropriate – Bendigo Community Farmers Market is bringing you Christmas in July. We’re thinking slow roasted meats, vegetables roasted ‘til they’re caramelised, stuffing, proper plum pudding and all the other trimmings of an old-fashioned Christmas dinner. Among the many bargains to be had at this month’s market, McIvor Farm Old Breed

Pork is offering 20 per cent off all shoulder roasts; while spuds from G & R May Potatoes are $5 for 5 kg. At 10am on the Community Stage, Pud for All Seasons will be talking Christmas puddings, both traditional and modern – with tastings throughout the day; and at 11.30am we’ll have the Bendigo Food Smart team talking about how to use leftovers. The Healthy Together Bendigo Kids Club will be making Mr Potato Heads. This month’s market is on Saturday from 9am until 1pm at Sidney Myer Place. For more information on the Bendigo Community Farmers Market, please call Hayley Davis on 0498 186 491, email manager@bcfm.org.au or visit www.bcfm. org.au.

Changing leadership roles A

s is universal in many communities there are in existence philanthropic societies or mutual support organisations, this was also the case among the Chinese who had come to the Victorian goldfields. some of these support groups are at times placed into the category of “secret societies”. Among the societies that were purported to be secret were the Hung Men and Gee Hing. There are some secret societies which have a less than philanthropic intent, such as the “Triads” which in some respects can be likened to the Mafia. Broadly, the societies of a more benevolent kind received subscribers or member’s money that could be used to buy land on which to erect a building, or buildings for the use of its members. Then money could also be expended on its servants or agents. sufficient money would also be available for oil, candles, water and fuel. If members became ill and wanted to return to their original homes, assistance could be forthcoming. Finance could be provided to procure

medicines, or finance for coffins and funeral expenses for those who were destitute. By the above it can be seen that the aims were very similar to friendly societies in western culture. One of the better known of these societies in Victoria was the “see Yup”, which was based in south Melbourne. In order to facilitate the arbitration of a dispute among the members, they provided proceedings which were calm, judicious and of satisfaction to the disputants. In 1855 at the Ironbark Chinese Camp one Chinese went to rob another by entering his tent and cutting off his money belt which contained gold and notes to the value of £103, a considerable sum. The complainant in this case was a goldsmith as well as a butcher, some violence was involved against him for the robber to secure the booty. The victim raised the alarm and the perpetrator was apprehended only a short distance away. The case was brought up before their own society as they were able to adjudicate in certain cases and could administer punishment from 50

Brewing back in business G

OldEn, pure and much sought after, some think it was a Bendigo’s greatest contribution to Australian society – that’s right, a nice cold glass of lager beer. The first Australian lager was brewed right here in Bendigo in 1882 by Julius Cohn, of the famous Cohn’s soft drink family, who were only one of many breweries in Bendigo in the 19th century. Cold lager soon replaced the heavier English style beers in Bendigo’s pubs. Bendigo was dotted with many multi-storey brew houses, each catering to a thirsty clientele. The brewers bought up hotels to ensure their products found a ready market. Many of these hotels still stand, such as the United Kingdom, and the British and American which were owned by the Cohn brewers. Bendigo United Breweries continued operating up to 1947, long after Carlton and United Breweries had become the major name in the industry. some remnants of the industry are dotted around town, such as the previous site of the children’s gym across the road from TAFE in McCrae street, which was the old Kent Brewery. The old styles are back in favour in Bendigo’s recent brewing boom, which is perhaps a good way for Bendigo’s beer story to continue. – Peter Thompson

to 200 lashes. According to the justice system operating within the camp, it seems as though the offence was not proved and Fok sing, as the head man of the camp, had no cause to punish the perpetrators. As a result the gold smith/butcher decided to seek justice in the Caucasian court system. However, as no police had been originally called, following the assault and robbery, Fok sing then became the centre of the court’s attention, yet he could not be blamed in his adjudication pertaining to this matter. This particular case drew a lot of attention from the Chinese

themselves, upwards of 300 of them crowded into the court, with some having travelled up to 40 kilometres to see how the matter was going to be dealt with. Fok sing also had his detractors as is evidenced in late 1865 when four of his countrymen, Ah Tong, Wa Ong, Fat Yong and Ah Tom were arrested. The four men were charged with, “threatening to take the life of Fok sing”. The ill feeling towards Fok sing was a result of the notices that he had had posted up as discussed in an earlier article. The four Chinese thus charged were fortunate as they were only bound

over to keep the peace. Fok sing’s usefulness was evident to the policing authorities as he was fluent in English and knew how to obtain intelligence from the Chinese community about any criminal activity among them. so not surprisingly Fok sing not long after the above event was to be found in the employ of the police. At first Fok sing is described as a police agent but soon he was appointed as a detective. From the time that Fok sing was appointed as a detective his name was almost invariably spelt as Fook shing.

Research pays dividends

SUCCESS: A good sized Newlyn Reservoir brown trout. Photo: STEVE CHARLES

ROUT have been seen smelting at Newlyn Reservoir in the past month but you have to be in the right place and at the right time. I spent the day there a few weeks back and chased a few smelters working along the edge of the weed beds in the southwest corner but couldn’t get any interest from them at all. Frustrated I went home and logged into the fly stream forums looking for advice and was able to get a few tips from Philip Weigall who had just walked in from fishing Newlyn himself, and landed a nice fat 1.4 kilogram brown trout. Philip suggested using a very small and sparse pattern he called a Kiwi Damsel, which he fished alone or with a similarly small and sparse BMS on a dropper. He recommended using a floating line because much of the action he’d seen was just below the surface and next to or over the weed beds. He would cast to any disturbance and use a very slow figure of eight retrieve. Takes

FLY FISHING

STEVE CHARLES would often be subtle and he would see a swirl in the vicinity of his fly or see a slight lift of the fly line from the water (at the rod end) but didn’t expect to feel a pull. Smelting trout can be fixated on their prey and hard to attract with anything that doesn’t look just right, plus they tend to move very fast as they chase smelt, so accuracy, speed and a bit of luck can be required to catch these fish.

wind finally dropped and right in front of me in the north-east corner (where the submerged road meets the car park bank) trout started marauding along the weed beds making big swirls in the water with many a smelt becoming airborne in their efforts to escape. It was exciting to watch. I got down to business and trying to keep a steady hand began to cast to fast moving fish. It was when one swirled within convenient range of where my fly was that I was able to lift my fly line off the water and place it back down in one stroke that I finally got a take.

Much of the action he’d seen was just below the surface and next to or over the weed beds Philip reckons that catching a smelter is like catching three regular trout. Armed with my new knowledge I headed back a week later to give it another go. After four to five hours of pretty much seeing nothing the

Philip was right, I saw a swirl and the subtle lift of my fly line where it hung down from my rod tip into the water but felt nothing until I lifted and felt that angry throb at the other end of the line. A very satisfying catch.

Local lakes benefit from fishing program

NGLERS of all ages and expertise don’t have to go far for some rod buckling action, thanks to recent trout stockings at Bendigo’s easily accessible lakes. Kennington Reservoir in Strathdale, Forest Lake in Kangaroo Flat and Tom Thumb Lake in Eaglehawk have been restocked with 900 rainbow trout, making now an ideal time to target these fish on bait or lures. These recent releases are part of Fisheries Victoria’s statewide fish stocking programme funded by licence fees and the government’s $16 million Recreational Fishing program with close to 30,000 rainbow trout released statewide these school holidays. A daily bag limit of five trout applies of which only two trout can exceed 35cm. And remember, anglers under 18 don’t require a licence – visit www.depi.vic.gov.au/fishing-and-hunting

During June, 16 members of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club again returned to Nelson on the picturesque Glenelg River. For those prepared to paddle their own canoe, stealth, patience and a extremely slow retrieve on virtually un-weighted plastics was the secret to a creel of bream and estuary perch. Wayne Symons and Anthony Griffith both fishing from kayaks landed the equal largest bream and perch for the weekend respectively. Again finding fish of size was the major obstacle with most anglers landing their fair share of

undersized bream and mulloway. Meanwhile the cold wet weather has curtailed many fairweather anglers but for those prepared to weather the elements there are still fish to be caught, closer to home. The Goulburn River between Seymour and Nagambie has been producing golden perch on bait. Reports are also filtering through of some surface trout activity at Cairn Curran for those prepared to troll wing style lures. Members of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club will be off to Lake Mulwala, July 19 and 20 for the President’s Cup. Contact trip captain Wayne Symons for details. And for anglers interested in native fish developments, the upcoming Regional Recreational Fishing Forum scheduled for Wednesday, August 6 from 7pm at Gateway Park in Kangaroo Flat, will be of interest. These annual forums are

held throughout Victoria and provide an ideal opportunity for all anglers to have their say. This year the long awaited proposal for the introduction of slot lengths to improve Victoria’s Murray cod fishery will be discussed. The review is aiming to increase Murray cod populations and improve the recreational Murray cod fishery by reviewing bag and size limit regulations. The consultation paper can also be read and downloaded off the DEPI’s website with all submissions to be lodged by August 29.

LANNING should have been under way well before the end of the recent financial year to get your taxation affairs in order. However, the helpful and professional staff at Goers and Maunder offer the following tips to help maximise your taxation refund. Claim all work-related expenses such as uniforms, business and mobile phone costs, subscriptions and union fees. Identify eligible home office expenses. Costs such as heating, cooling, lighting and depreciation of your office equipment or professional library may be allowable. Claim work-related travel. This includes travel between two or more places of work per trip. Other travel expenses are also deductible such as non-car vehicle expenses, taxi fares, meals accommodation, and incidental expenses Rental property owners can generally claim deductions for loan interest, advertising, bank charges, body corporate fees, cleaning, council

AUSTRALIA WIDE SERVICE TM

rates, electricity and gas, gardening, insurance and many more. Optimise your tax offsets. Tax offsets directly reduce your tax payable, such as spouse offset which is subject to income and age. To be eligible your spouse must be born before July 1, 1952. Tax offset for medical net out of pocket expenses can only be claimed if a claim was made in 2013 with the exception of disability aids, attendant and aged care. The health insurance rebate is now also subject to income testing for higher wage earners and the Medicare Levy surcharge will vary according to your income. To complete your 2014 tax return, you will be required to supply bank account details for a refund and where applicable provide your private health insurance statement. Goers and Maunder for all your business and personal taxation affairs.

SO CLOSE: Neil Robertson missed out again, this time to Judd Trump. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

MVP: Billy Parsons.

Baseballers hit top form

Winner plays Trump card IT was another case of so close, yet so far for Aussie Neil Robertson at last week’s Australian Snooker Goldfields Open. The home favourite made the final for the second straight year, only to be defeated again in a tense decider. Last year Marco Fu got the

better of the world’s top player, this year it was 2012 world champion Judd Trump who took the title, showing he has returned to his best after a lean few years. Robertson, however, can take consolation from the fact that he has regained the world

number one ranking from Mark Selby. Despite another runner-up finish, Robertson was glowing in his praise for the event at Bendigo Stadium. “This week I had a pretty comfortable path to the final, but Judd definitely played the

best snooker and he was just too good for me today,” he said. “I hope he’s enjoyed it as the playing conditions are the best we played on all year, and the crowds have been fantastic as well.” The tournament will return to Bendigo again in 2015.

Bendigo blitzes at Winterfest By SAM KANE

BENDIGO cheerleaders are celebrating their successes this week after bringing home an impressive slice of awards at the AASCF Winterfest Cheerleading Champions competition. About 3000 cheerleaders from all over the state performed in front of the judges, all vying to put months of hard work and determination to the test. Bendigo Blitz Cheerleading Club dance director Kim Manallack said the dedication put in by dancers had really paid off. “We have come such a long way over the past 24 months, and we really were able to put Bendigo on the Victorian Cheerleading map.” Three local dancers who train at the Cheer Factor All Stars in Tullamarine also competed, with all three taking out awards within their teams.

BENDIGO’S Billy Parsons was awarded Most Valuable Player at last weekend’s under-16 State Baseball Winter Championships in Mildura. Parsons was the standout performer of the Bendigo side, and was rewarded by the other team’s coaches as Bendigo was crowned champions. Bendigo sent a team of 10 players, with Darcy Harrison, Billy Parsons, Lachlan Jack, Duncan Lever, Charlie Hay, Sam Wild, Tom Morrison, Mitchell Brown, Bradley Murphy and Kieran Theobold all making the trip north. Three players from Sunraysia joined the Bendigo team to help cover the number of players needed for the weekend under the competition’s friendship rule – Cody Clifford, Riley Clifford and Amos Fabich. Over the two days, Bendigo won three out of the four round robin matches, defeating Ringwood Green 6-1, Diamond Valley Red 13-3 and La Trobe Valley 10-0. Despite losing to Sunraysia 12-8 in the penultimate game, Bendigo’s opening performances ensured they would meet the hosts again in the final. Batting first, Bendigo came out strong hitting in two runs in the first innings, but the Sunraysia pitchers had their way through the next five innings, not conceding a run. In the seventh and final innings, Bendigo’s batters stepped up to the plate driving in three runs, but Sunraysia had one more rally left in them. At the bottom of the seventh innings, the hosts had two runners on base however Lachlan Jack was able to limit the damage from the mound, only conceding one run before Charlie Hay stepped up to finish the job for Bendigo and ensure a win. Bendigo will also send a side to this weekend’s under-18 state winter championships in Geelong.

Hogan heads for a record By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Bank Braves captain Chris Hogan can only remember going to one Braves game when he was growing up playing junior basketball in Braves colours. He was around 16 at the time, and one thing stood out to him above all else: the play of Braves legend David Flint. Since his playing days finished, Flint – now coach of Ballarat Miners – has held the Braves Men’s games record at 318 appearances. Hogan has been coached by Flintand worked out against him as well as acting as a mentor at times through his career. This Friday night, against archrivals Ballarat and his former coach, Hogan will play his 319th game, breaking Flint’s record. Hogan has been a crucial part of the team since he started in 2002 under the tutelage of Flint, and has played with legends such as Justin Cass, Ricky Daniels and current coach Ben Harvey. Along the way he has collected a national title, several conference titles, and made lifelong friends such

as Kevin Probert and Taylor Bell Hogan admits when he walked into the side in 2002 he was unsure of what to expect, but the success he has enjoyed along with the relationships he has formed have made it all the more enjoyable. “I can only remember going to the one Braves game when I was a lot younger, and the guy that stood out was funnily enough Dave Flint,” Hogan said this week. “When Dave gave me the opportunity in 2002 I was a little unsure of what I was walking in to really. But given I have stayed around 10-plus years, I think it’s fair to say I kind of enjoy it.” The game is a big one for the Braves in the context of its season, and the Ballarat rivalry and milestone only adds to it. “I guess it couldn’t be written any better. We need a win and so do they, and there are no better games than Bendigo versus Ballarat,” he said. “To do it in front of Dave will make it a bit more special as well, he has certainly helped me along the way. “Hopefully I can hit a three from right in front of him when he’s stand-

ing on the sideline as well, but either way it’s a huge honour to be lucky enough to play this many games.” Harvey paid tribute to his captain this week, who he has spent 12 years either playing with or coaching. “I have been fortunate enough to have played beside Chris as teammate for seven years, and now coach him for the past five years,” Harvey said. “I have been lucky to also share a great friendship with Chris on and

off the floor. Chris had been a great player, leader and asset for our club.” Coming off a key win over Geelong last week, the Braves sit 9-9 on the season, and Hogan is fully confident despite a disappointing campaign thus far that the team can still challenge for a national title. “You look at Dandenong last year and they just played well at the right time and won it all with 13 losses, so we know it isn’t all over by a long

Selected for Victoria FOUR Bendigo Football League players were this week selected in the 26-man AFL Victoria Country 1 squad to compete at this weekend’s AFL Victoria Community Cup. Gisborne ruckman Tom Waters, in-form Eaglehawk on-baller Brodie Filo, Golden Square centre halfback Jonathon Coe and teammate Jack Geary were all picked in the preliminary side, that was cut to 24 after a training session on Wednesday. At the time of going to print, the final side had not been announced. The Community Cup will be held in Geelong this weekend and sees the best players from across country and metro Victoria battle it out for the cup. The country squad has trained for four consecutive Sundays in Melbourne but coach Peter Knights said it was about creating a bond rather than focusing on implementing a game plan. “When the players have all driven upwards of three hours to be there and usually played a game the day before, it’s no use getting them to focus on game plans and that sort of thing,” he said. “It’s about getting to know each

other developing camaraderie.” Former South Bendigo and Kangaroo Flat full forward and two-time Ron Best Medallist Justin Maddern was also picked in the team of 26. Maddern has bagged 47 goals in 10 games this season for Goulburn Valley side Shepparton Swans. On the same day metro versus country clash, the AFL Victoria Country 2 team will face a representative team from the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s Premier B to Division 4 competitions. Former Eaglehawk defender Tim Hill, now playing for Heathcote District Football League side Mount Pleasant, has been named in the Vic 2 side, with Wedderburn gun Rohan McHugh also set to line up. Vic Country’s U19 team will also tackle a U19 VAFA team, with no Bendigo Football League players in the squad due to the BFL not playing an under-18 interleague game against Gippsland this year. Both matches will be played at the St Albans Football Club ground in Geelong, with the U19 game getting underway at 11am, while the Vic Country 1 versus Metro clash gets under way at 4pm at Simonds Stadium.

stretch,” he said. “First or second is probably out of the question, but we will definitely target a home final in that third spot. “We have the physical talent, guys who can shoot, rebound and defend, it’s just about coming ready to play and applying ourselves.” The Lady Braves take on Ballarat Rush at Bendigo Stadium on Friday night from 6pm, with the men’s game to follow with tip-off at 8pm.

RISING STAR: Sara Blicavs. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

THE Bendigo Bank Spirit continued its strong offseason this week, re-signing forward Sara Blicavs. Blicavs is one of the rising stars of Australian Women’s basketball, and will be in Bendigo Spirit colours for two more years. Originally from Sunbury, the 21-year-old played a key role in Bendigo’s 2013-14 title after crossing from Dandenong Rangers.

Sara is a big part of what we’re building in Bendigo Blicavs has a wealth of international experience at only 21, including the World University games, World under-19 championships and FIBA 3X3 World Championships. She quickly became a key member of Bernie Harrower’s rotation, bringing energy off the bench while proving more than capable as a starter when called upon. Statistically, the season was not her best, but her growth as a player was noticeable to Harrower and Spirit fans alike as she averaged nine points and 3.7 rebounds while playing every game for the club. Blessed with superb athleticism and a 188cm frame, her ability to play multiple positions and potential mean she has a bright future ahead ac-

cording to Harrower. “Sara is a big part of what we’re building in Bendigo and we’re very fortunate to have her back as an important contributor with the Spirit for the next two seasons,” Harrower said. “Her versatility and athleticism gives her a unique skill set in our game and she continues to tap into her potential and improve. We’re looking for Sara to take another leap in her development and take her game to the next level.” Blicavs, who is currently averaging 16.6 points per game for the Geelong Supercats in the South East Australian Basketball League said she is excited to remain a part of such a successful club. “Winning the WNBL championship last year was such a

great experience to have as a young player,” Blicavs said. “To be able to sign on with the team for a further two years and play with such a great group of girls while hopefully continuing to compete for championships is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” Blicavs will re-join the team after finishing her SEABL commitments. The Spirit also confirmed the signings of Heather Oliver and Chelsea Aubry last week. Both have played multiple seasons with Bendigo – Aubry enters her sixth season in 201415. In a further boost, young guns Maddie Garrick and Tessa Lavey and Australian Opals guard Kelly Wilson are also set to return to the club next season.
