Ten-year comparison shows rates have nearly doubled

two bad By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO ratepayers are being slugged almost twice as much for their council rates as they were a decade ago. As part of a campaign leading up to next month’s Anti-Poverty Week, the Bendigo Weekly has compared Greater Bendigo council budgets 10 years apart. The 2005-06 council budget saw ratepayers hit with a 5.8 per cent rates increase.

They need money to pay their rates According to official State Government figures, the median house price for 2005 was $207,000. The amount of rates paid on a $207,000 property in 05-06 was $789.06. Ten budgets later, the 2014-15 budget saw a rates increase of six per

cent, up against a March 14 median house price of $365,000. The amount of rates paid on a $365,000 property in the current budget will be $1433.35. Council will rake more than $93 million from the Bendigo community in rates this year. In 05-06, that figure was $45m. In 05-06, council spent less than $27m on employee costs. This year they will spend more than $54m. Whipstick Ward councillor Peter Cox, an avid campaigner for lower rates, said the comparisons were concerning. “We know there are lots of households who find it difficult to put food on the table,” he said. “There are 30 per cent who are cash poor and own their houses. They need money to pay their rates.

Ice war ramps up

EXCLUSIVE By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE fight against the drug ice will take a big step forward in Bendigo today, with more State Government funding to be announced. Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge will announce that Bendigo Health is one of 10 mental health units to each receive $300,000 over three years to better support patients and staff dealing with the effects of ice. More than 50 per cent of people with a severe mental ill-

ness also grapple with a drug addiction, such as ice. Ms Wooldridge said ice use and withdrawal can induce psychosis and other mental illness leading to violent and aggressive

“Mental health inpatient staff at Bendigo health do a fantastic job dealing with a range of complex issues and the Coalition Government is committed to supporting them in their im-

portant work. “The new funding will give hospitals the flexibility to decide how the new resources will best suit their unique needs, which could include hiring an alcohol and drug specialist, additional training for existing staff, secu-

rity improvements such as CCTV or infrastructure upgrades.” Premier Denis Napthine announced on Friday that Bendigo hospital will be part of a trial of a program aimed at giving young people a first-hand look at what can happen if they take drugs. “The PARTY program which is run jointly by the Royal Melbourne and Alfred hospitals brings students for a full day excursion of an emergency department and intensive care unit, giving them a first-hand experience of the harsh reality faced by victims of traumatic injuries, including those affected by ice use,” he said.

New venue brews up a food interface BENDIGO’s hottest new eatery is set to open its doors in Kennington Village this November. The self-proclaimed big brother of Brewhouse Coffee Roasters, #Hashtag Public Bar, will offer a modern meeting place for diners of all tastes. “This will be a meeting place for all people. #Hashtag Public Bar is about using new social media and getting everyone to know what this place is all about,” owner Corey Scoble said. The two storey building will

be able to seat 500 for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with views of Kennington Reservoir from the loft. Thirty-five staff will be employed to run the sister-company with meals served around the clock. “We will have a continuous menu. We are really emphasising great and simple food,” Mr Scoble said. “This venue will be about everything, it will be a meeting place where you can watch EPL

or the footy or bring the family. “The fitout will be very stylish. I don’t think this type of building is in Bendigo.” Mr Scoble said the restaurant was in the pipeline for three years with only local hands working on the project. #Hashtag Public Bar will serve its own branded coffee and will provide a new taste to Bendigo’s coffee palate. Mr Scoble said he envisioned this new business would become franchised across Australia.

He was confident of the business’ longevity and the decision to include social media in the dining experience. “You will be able to hashtag the menu and I think this will bring us 20 to 30 years ahead of anyone else,” he said. “Instagram and facebook won’t go away. We think this is really taking hospitality to the next level.” #Hashtag will open for at the end of November. – Christine McGinn

Park row open for submission By CHRISTINE MCGINN

A FULL investigation into the new controversial Rosalind Park carpark has been ordered. Concerns have arisen about whether 223 carparks in the park, currently in use, should have been approved. The carparks linked to the Ulumbarra Theatre, are in operation behind the Golden Dragon Museum. Cr Peter Cox drove the motion, requiring a report within two meetings. “I won’t go into the issues only to say that there is some difference of opinion. I suppose legal, technical and historical and we need it clean and clear,” Cr Cox said. “We don’t want it to confuse the masterplan going out there for submission. We need this issue dealt with separately and cleared up as soon as possible. “We need to clean up this mess.” Councillors unanimously voted for the report, to ensure future dealings and considerations of the masterplan were appropriate. Former mayor and park advocate Daryl McClure spurred the report after telling councillors it was approved with misinformation. Cr Helen Leach said the park had suffered “a gross injustice” by creating a larger surface area in the park for parking. The Rosalind Park Masterplan was unanimously put out for public comment with Cr Cox quoting the report. “Rosalind Park Precinct is Bendigo’s pre-eminent ‘city park’... The park combines functions and attractions that are of interest to virtually everyone in Greater Bendigo, as well as to the city’s numerous visitors,” he read. “It is one of our most important public places and a landmark of the city.” But the plan severely cuts car parking between the Queen Elizabeth Oval and the Bendigo Art Gallery, replaced with gardens. The masterplan does not call for a multi-storey carpark, instead a carpark under the tennis courts or next to Coliban Water. Yet neither is recommended. “We can have the best of both worlds with parking and bringing the park back to a more natural and user friendly state,” Cr James Williams said. Cr Rod Fyffe reminded councillors it was a long-term vision, to guide present and future leaders, over the next 25 to 30 years. The Rosalind Park masterplan has been put out for public comment for four weeks.

Wellsford fight branches out

By Dianne Dempsey

A petition of 1213 signatures was presented to the Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan on Thursday by the Wellsford Forest Conservation Alliance. The petition, which is part of a sustained campaign by the Alliance, protests ”the continuing decline and degradation of the ecological values of the Wellsford State Forest under its current management regime”. “So far we have the support of the Greater Bendigo council and a variety of different stake holders,”Wellsford Alliance’s Patrick Walters said. “We have been actively lobbying our politicians and candidates, maintaining pressure to commit to the preservation of the Wellsford Forest before the state election in November 29.” In recent weeks the Alliance campaign has accelerated, attracting features in The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. While Ms Allan will be presenting the petition to parliament, she said that the Labor Party has not yet decided on a position regarding the preservation of the forest. She also declined to say when a decision would be made, except that it would be some time before the November state elections. Referring to Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, Ms Allan said: “We both live near the forest and appreciate the value of the

ACTION STATIONS: Patrick Walters, Robin Ballinger, Bev Culvenor, Rod Orr, Lauren Cogo meet Jacinta Allan. beautiful environment. We walked through the forest a few weeks ago. It was great to be with people so interested in the forest’s habitat and preservation.” The only party which is so far prepared to wholeheartedly commit to the preservation of the Wellsford Forest is The Greens.

“The long history and legacy of logging means that we must act now to properly protect the remaining Box Ironbark Forests, due to their national significance and vulnerability to impacts of changing climate,” candidate for Bendigo East Jennifer Alden said. Greg Bickley, the Liberal candi-

Blokes ready for lunch

Minister slams MP HEALTH Minister David Davis has hit back at Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan for “sticking her head up” in the fight for the Bendigo hospital. “Here is the treacherous local member who supported Julia Gillard’s savage health cuts to Bendigo. She is the most treacherous local member in state parliament,” Mr Davis said. “She abrogated her responsibility to Bendigo by pushing for a smaller hospital. How dare she even speak.” Mr Davis said the government had given an extra $11 million to the hospital and an annual $50.7m funding package more than during Labor’s reign. “The government has been working with Bendigo Health to provide additional services,” he said. “The Coalition Government is delivering the biggest health project in regional Victoria to Bendigo.” But Ms Allan ripped into the

State Government for refusing to fund one extra Intensive Care Unit bed. “This is yet another example of how the Liberal Government health cuts impact on the Bendigo community. This time it is having an impact on the sickest of our community,” she said. Ms Allan referenced a memo sent to hospital staff about the decision. “Bendigo Health management recognise that the five ICU beds are in very high demand and are constantly being used and there is a need for some extra capacity in the ICU area,” she said. “Bendigo hospital wanted funding for just one more bed. That funding request was rejected. “This just shows how cutting into the health budget, cutting it to the bone leaves no capacity to keep up with the needs of the local community.” However, the hospital has acknowledged it is set to receive $11 million more in funding.

date for Bendigo East, was equivocal. “Protecting old growth trees in Wellsford State Forest is important to many in the community, as is having access to firewood for many who depend on it to heat their homes,” he said. “The Victorian Coalition Gov-

ernment will achieve both these outcomes.” However, Mr Walters said the idea of the Wellsford Forest being important as a commercial enterprise is a non-issue. “Currently pole and post cutting licences operate within the Wellsford, however the amount of money made by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries in 2013-14 amounts to a little over $5000,” he said. “Beekeepers within the Wellsford are infuriated as the mature trees targeted for poles are worth far more in nectar.” Mr Walters said the free-firewood policy is counter-intuitive to the private firewood industry that struggles to compete with wood merchants who are taking firewood for free. “It just doesn’t make sense to allow our forests to be casually exploited for the benefit, and certainly the profit of a few,” he said. “The State Government should make Wellsford a National Park and better represent the interests of its constituents.” Ms Allan is aware that when the Bendigo National Park was set up in 2001 it was proposed that Wellsford Forest remain available for logging in order to continue timber supplies to local sawmills. She said she was not involved in those negotiations and that the creation of a National Park at that time was in itself a great achievement.

Planning for this year’s Blokes Biggest Ever Lunch is well on the way with more than 250 tickets sold. Organiser Keith Sutherland said the event goes from strength to strength. “Our special guest is Jason McCartney who is a Bali bombing survivor and ex North Melbourne and Collingwood footballer,” he said. “We only have 20 tables, so get in fast.” Mr Sutherland said to date the event has raised more than $280,000 – with the bulk of funds going to the Prostate Foundation. “They spend most of their funds trying to find a cure for prostate cancer,” Mr Sutherland said. “It kills about 3300 men each year and about 20,000 men are diagnosed with the disease. “We hope to raise $75,000 again this year.”

Raywood to launch revised Community Plan

The revised Raywood Community Plan on Sunday September 14 at the Raywood Hotel at 6pm. Cr Williams congratulated the Raywood community on working together to develop the plan.

The initiative encourages primary students to walk to and from school as often as possible throughout October. The City of Greater Bendigo has received funding from VicHealth to coordinate Walk to School activities for local schools. Walking to school is a great way to get ﬁt and helps children to meet the national recommended guidelines of 60 minutes of vigorous physical activity each day. The number of Victorian children that walk to school has declined dramatically in recent decades and obesity levels are on the rise. It’s free to participate and there are fantastic prizes available for schools that take part. Walk to School is a VicHealth initiative. For more information visit www.walktoschool.vic.gov.au

By CHRISTINE McGINN

A NEW Bendigo facility aims to put the focus on children’s health and wellbeing. Health Minister David Davis said Bendigo Community Health Services would receive $2.6 million to build the purpose-built Kidzspace Children’s Precinct “BCHS works to meet the diverse health needs of the local community, and has a growing

Precinct aims to boost specialist care role responding to the needs of babies, children and young people,” he said. The centre will feature two community paediatric consulting suites, two other consulting spaces, two therapy rooms, two multi-purpose rooms, a community kitchen and a group room.

Two offices will house 30 staff, two intake rooms and a waiting room. The design also includes IT and communications infrastructure to support e-health and telemedicine. BCHS is one of 37 health services to share in $20 million worth

of grants through the Rural Capital Support program. Mr Davis said the Kangaroo Flat playspace is part of Loddon Mallee’s expansion of community children’s health services. “This centre will complement a range of specialised maternity and paediatric services that will be part

Students head for Gallipoli

HONOURED: Thomas Wigney with Premier Denis Napthine.

THREE Bendigo students are among 80 chosen from across the state to represent Victoria at the 2015 Anzac Day Dawn Service in Gallipoli. Gabriela Giggins from Bendigo Senior Secondary College, Thomas Maher of Catholic College Bendigo and Thomas

Wigney of Crusoe Secondary College will attend the service that marks the 100th anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Anzac Cove on April 25, 1915. “The announcement is one of many ways the Victorian Government is commemorating

of the new $630 million Bendigo hospital. The new hospital will include 25 beds in the maternity area, 15 special care nursery cots and 16 child and adolescent inpatient beds,” Mr Davis said. BCHS has contributed $600,000 to the project. Liberal candidate for Bendigo East Greg Bickley said the centre would respond to the needs of families who face significant disadvantage or have multiple needs.

100 years since the start of World War I,” Premier Denis Napthine said. “We are proud to offer these deserving students and chaperones, the opportunity to spend five days in Turkey representing Victoria, including at the historic Anzac Day service at Gallipoli.

“We want our younger generations to experience and establish connections with this important place, and share the lessons they learn with family, friends, colleagues and classmates.” More than 630 students and 104 teachers applied.

BENDIGO’S property market outshone all other regional Victorian centres in the past year. The State Government’s Victorian Property Sales Report, which records every sale, has pointed to another strong year for the city’s housing market. In the 12 months to March, Bendigo’s median price jumped 15.9 per cent to $365,000. Ballarat’s rose less, to $330,000 for the year, and Geelong’s’ median house price dropped 9.2 per cent. Wodonga’s median price jumped 12.7 per cent, Mildura’s 8.5 and Warrnambool’s 6.3. Locally, Ironbark is leading the way. The CBD-fringe suburb is benefiting from the hospital construction, jumping 34.3 per cent in the past year to $369,300. Perennial performer Kennington is also again near the top of the growth list. Kennington’s median property price jumped 25.8 per cent in the year to $415,000. Ascot prices jumped 22.5 per cent to $426,500. Spring Gully’s median price jumped to $350,000, a rise of 14.2 per cent. Real Estate Institute of Victoria Bendigo division chairman Matt Leonard agreed there had been substantial growth but believed the figures were inflated. “I believe the transactions have been higher than the suburbs’ median prices,” he said. “The figures are a good guide but are not a true reflection of the growth. The figures are helpful, but recent comparable sales in your area are the best guide for market value.” Mr Leonard said there had been a nine to 10 per cent growth in median prices in the past 12 months. “I disagree with Bendigo’s median price at $365,000, it is more $325,000,” he said.

Rates rise defended From Page 1 “It is a compounding issue for me.” Cr Cox said part of the problem is decisions on rates and costs are made by people who can easily pay them. “Compare how people are trying to survive to the increased costs of our wages,” he said. “These are institutions run by people who are in well-paid, secure jobs. “They don’t know what it is like to live weekto-week. “If they had an understanding of that, we wouldn’t have the expenditure or rise in wages we have today. “Every which way you look at it council is trying to get the maximum dollars out of residents.” Council Organisation Support director Marg Allan defended the rates increases. “The Independent Review of the City of Greater Bendigo found that rate increases are justified because the council is dealing with added costs associated with population growth, increased regulatory costs and a growing asset renewal cap,” she said. “The review concluded that the rating strategy of council is complex and ‘misinformation’ exists in the community in respect to council’s reasoning and justification of rate increases.” Ms Allan said the review also backed up council’s employee strategy. “The Independent Review found in absolute terms, through benchmarking with other comparable local government organisations to form a relevant data set, there are no grounds to suggest the city is systematically overstaffed,” she said. “(It also found) total city labour cost as a percentage of annual budget is the lowest of the benchmark data set at 32.5 per cent compared to a high of 44 per cent. “City total staff per 100 of population was the lowest of the benchmark data set at 0.67 staff per 100 compared to a high of 1.01.”

Art and comfort costs $29,000 IT’S not street-art, it’s seat-art. And it’s pricey. The new seat on the corner of Mitchell and Hargreaves streets cost ratepayers $29,000. Greater Bendigo council Presen-

tation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said the seat had two functions – art and comfort. “We thought it was important we didn’t miss an opportunity to use street art,” he said.

“It is a great combination of artistic value and function. “I am proud of the capability of our design team to have come up with this for our city. “I think it is a great result.”

‘Times are tough’ By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO families take home up to $250 less than the rest of the country. Figures supplied by the Federal Parliamentary Library continue to highlight the depth of Bendigo poverty. The median weekly income for families in the Bendigo electorate, before tax, is $1252. The median Australian family income is $1481. The difference in household income is even greater. The median Bendigo household income is $987, well short of the Australian median of $1234. Last month the Bendigo Weekly began a campaign to highlight the city’s real poverty picture. Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters called for the city’s political and community leaders to reset their policy focus to concentrate on poverty. Personal income statistics also paint a harrowing story. The ABS figures also reveal more than 52 per cent of Bendigonians

aged over 15 live either below or just above the poverty line. Just under 58,500 people over the age of 15 in the Bendigo electorate earn less than $600 a week. The largest number of people in any income category is 15,599, who earn between $400 and $600 a week. Of the 58,500 people living below or just above the poverty line, a staggering one third of them are aged over 60. About 75 per cent of Bendigonians aged over 70 earn less than $600 a week. Centrelink welfare payments also highlight the city’s poverty. Despite having only 0.6 of Australia’s over-15 population, the Bendigo electorate has 1.2 per cent of Australia’s low-income card holders. The electorate also has one per cent of Australia’s sickness allowance recipients and 0.9 per cent of the country’s disability support pensioners. Bendigo is also home to 0.8 per cent of Australia’s Pensioner Card holders.

Ms Chesters said she was not surprised by the figures. “These stats are heartbreaking but not surprising,” she said. “Every week, people raise with me how tough things have become. Your pay just doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. “I often hear that, ‘wages like mine are horribly low’, ‘there’s not enough to meet the bills’, or, ‘I have to ask my children to help out with expenses and I am not sure what I would do if my son or daughter moved out’.” Ms Chesters said governments needed to do more. “Rates, rents, transport, utilities, out-of-pocket health and education costs are just some of the cost-ofliving pressures that have increased significantly in the past few years,” she said. “At the same time, the growth of income for households at risk of falling into poverty, whether it be paid employment, welfare payments or a combination of both, has been slow. “Times are tough for many.”

BENDIGO BEAT Double smash A FEMALE driver drove her Toyota Camry sedan through a residential fence this week. The vehicle went through the wooden fence, into the backyard of the Ironbark property about 10.30am on Tuesday. The incident occurred on the corner of Don Street and Eaglehawk Road. The driver also ran over a bike traffic sign on the road. A Victoria Police spokesperson said there was minimal damage and no one was injured. A KANGAROO Flat man was killed in a single-vehicle collision in Allendale, near Ballarat, on Monday night. The 60 year old man was driving south-west along Creswick-Newstead Road in a white Daihatsu sedan. Senior Constable Adam West said the car left the road before hitting a tree about 8.30pm. The driver was the sole vehicle occupant and died at the scene. Police want to speak with any person who saw the vehicle in the area be-

fore the accident. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A CONTRACT worker, in a new North Bendigo housing estate, broke a gas pipe on Monday afternoon.

Twelve Country Fire Authority officers attended to the Ashton Street incident about 1pm. A CFA spokesperson said contractors had been putting trees on the nature strip when an employee clipped the gas pipe, con-

nected to the main. CFA blocked both entrances to the estate to prevent incidents from the gas leak. The gas company sealed the leak and put a new sleeve on the pipe. No one was injured during the incident. POLICE want to speak with the men pictured left, believed to be able to assist in their inquiries. The men are believed to be able to help with investigations into an incident in a Greater Bendigo council car park on August 6. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the local station on 5448 1300.

Blitz on road users VICTORIA Police’s largest four-month blitz on speed, drunk and drug drivers is set to hit Bendigo. Police will saturate our roads to combat speed, drug and alcohol, fatigue and driver distractions in a bid to reduce the state’s road toll. Mobile speed cameras, radar guns, booze and drug buses, marked and unmarked police cars and motorcycles will trawl the roads to catch offenders. Acting Senior Sergeant Dale Simm said Melbourne officers would be coming up

to assist local police in their efforts to combat crime. “The blitz is because there has been a peak of people dying on the roads and we want to prevent further incidents,” he said. “100-kilometre-anhour zones are the areas where people are most likely to be killed or seriously injured. Especially on country roads, drivers need to make sure they have a second look, be aware of their surrounds and make sure you are not fatigued. “Drivers need to make sure they are having breaks and taking

truck drivers in rural areas to catch drivers speeding, drug affected or committing other offences. TAC has given $1 million to pay for officer’s overtime during the blitz to ensure a highlyvisible police presence. Drivers are warned they may be stopped on freeways or major arterial roads leading to freeways. They are likely to pass a booze bus while driving out of Melbourne and into the suburbs. The tactics are part of Victoria Police’s largest-ever campaign, designed to save lives.

Over fifty new jobs created at bigger, better Kangaroo Flat supermarket Coles will welcome 55 new team members when it unveils its brand new bigger and better supermarket at Kangaroo Flat on Wednesday, 17 september. The morning after the existing Coles in the lansell square shopping Centre closes, the new store will open right behind it. As part of the expansion of the shopping Centre, the new Kangaroo Flat store has provided a welcome jobs boost for the Bendigo region, with the existing team expanding to more than 120 team members. The new store will offer great value to customers and introduce 2,000 new product lines, bringing the total number of product lines to 20,000. locally-produced products include Castlemaine Dips, juice from Harcourt Perry & Cider Makers at Barkers Creek and RsPCA-approved chicken from Hazeldene’s at lockwood. Measuring over 4,000 square metres, the new Kangaroo Flat store is almost three times the size of the existing store at and locals will notice the extra space. As part of the market-style layout, shoppers will be offered an array of fresh fruit and vegetables displayed on ice for freshness, a new gourmet delicatessen, a self-select cheese bar, extended seafood selection, scoop and Weigh section for nuts and dried fruit mixes and the friendly in-store butcher who is making the move from the existing store. locals will also notice the inclusion of the on-site bakery, which shoppers had been keen to see in the Kangaroo Flat store. A ‘slice on request’ service will be available across both the bakery and meat departments, giving shoppers the choice of freshly-sliced bread or juicy steaks perfect for the barbeque. Coles Kangaroo Flat store Manager lloyd Haggar said he was looking forward to unveiling the new store and welcoming local

WELCOME: New Coles Lansell Square store manager Lloyd Haggar is looking forward to the opening of the store next Wednesday shoppers to experience the modern look and feel of the store. “We are really excited to be a part of the new wave of Coles stores launching around the country and our newly-expanded team is looking forward to showing customers the new-look store,” he said. “our aim is to provide great value, great quality and fantastic customer service, and we can certainly continue to do this in the new store. We know that the in-store bakery was something locals were requesting and we are

really pleased to say we have listened to them. We cannot wait to see the smiles on our loyal customers’ faces when they walk into the new store.” Many of the existing Kangaroo Flat team members have been with Coles for more than a decade, with Jan Moon and sandra Mundy both part of the Kangaroo Flat store team for an incredible 27 years. Working across the entertainment section, sandra has worked across most departments and is extremely well know to local customers.

“The highlight of my career would certainly be watching team members develop from young adults to future department managers and even regional managers. It’s a fantastic team and I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else,” sandra said. Coles Kangaroo Flat is located in the Lansell Square Shopping Centre, at 267 High Street, Kangaroo Flat. The store will be open from 6am – midnight, 7 days.

THE coarse blaring of the buzzing alarm draws me kicking and screaming out of the deep slumber I was enjoying. My wife’s sharpened elbow digs none-too-gently into my ribs. “Turn it off, and be quiet,” she mumbles. I roll over and turn off the buzz, only to hear the announcer report, “… and currently it’s minus 2ºC in Bendigo”. Then that habitual and frustrating internal argument starts: “Come on get up.” “No, I’ll sleep in today, it’s too cold.” “Don’t be lazy. Get up.” “I’ve had a hard week at work. One Saturday morning sleep-in won’t hurt.”

“Just Do It. Nike spent millions on that slogan because it works. So get up.” All the while the guilt starts adding weight to the affirmative aspect of the debate. Finally, Nike and guilt win. I slide out of bed and the block of ice called a

It’s still dark and the ground glitters as the street lights dance across a thick frost floor causes me to whip my feet up. I roll back, landing on the now no-longer-sleeping wife. We’re both awake, and will I hear about it. I stumble like a herd of elephants down the corridor, as far away from the other, still sleeping, members of family as possible. I fumble around for

Why am I doing this? Gingerly, I lower myself to the floor, to begin a brief stretching routine, and prepare an unresponsive body and argumentative mind for the rigours of

the morning. Thick socks slide over the carpet and I land with a crash that would register on the Richter Scale. Eventually, a brief snack, grab the water bottle and I’m into the garage before I can make any more racket or procrastinate any longer. The closing door catches on my glove, shutting with the force and reverberation of an atomic weapon. I check the tyres, lights and give the bike a shake. All in good riding order. On go the shoes and helmet and, just to make sure everyone is now truly awake, the squeal of metal on metal as the roller door goes up... and... down, closing with a final calamitous shake. Cold silence. Not even the warbling of magpies. I push down the drive, into the black frigid cold morning, noiselessly.

Leighton WATER DELIVERIES

Hundreds of runners and walkers stepped out to help raise $5000 in this year’s Run for Dad. A joint initiative between St John of God Hospital and Athletics Bendigo, the fun run increased awareness of men’s health issues. Members of the Bendigo Prostate Cancer Support Group greeted participants, and the hospital’s physiotherapists eased the pain of tired runners offering free massages. Supported by Poyser Motors, Coliban Water and the Bendigo Lions Club, the event was a success, raising much needed funds. Finalists from the Biggest Loser Ararat, joined in the action for what was a sunny day with a solid turnout.

Shame on Hyenas

Call to arms

I was perusing my facebook newsfeed the other evening and was shocked to come across the page: Long Gully Football Club AKA Long Gully Hyenas. This page is not legitimate and has been created by some young lads who think it’s funny to laugh at the Long Gully community. The page portrays and reinforces many negative stereotypes that have long shadowed our community. Such as drug use, violence, degeneracy, debauchery and even showcases some of our residents dilapidated houses while poking fun. These lads may think they’re a bunch of original satirical geniuses but truly they are unimaginative losers looking for a cheap laugh at the expense of an under-privileged community. It is an insult to the people of Long Gully’s dignity, pride and moral fibre. There has been a great deal of energy and effort made to stamp out the issues that have plagued our people and change is happening. If Greater Bendigo council wants to see change in Long Gully then we as a community should condemn the creators of this page. I would ask that since these lads have so much time on their hands then maybe they should come down and help out at the community garden and run a barbecue for us and meet the people they’re doing an injustice to. I’d be more than happy to give them some lessons in respect and civility. Braydin Dunlop, Long Gully

Call-to-arms on poverty by Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters is welcome in its intent. As a first step in the fight against hidden poverty in our region I suggest we look at local government rates. I live in Golden Square and have just received my latest rate notice which has increased the general rate by some 25 per cent, and the overall account by some 12 per cent which includes pensioner discounts. If the municipal rates are to increase at six per cent or greater it creates a hidden poverty trap in which people, especially those on pensions and low income will be forced into debt or out of their homes. It would be nice to see our pensions and bank accounts rise by six per cent to keep up with the cost of living pressures which this council appears to ignore. All we receive in return apart from garbage collection is increased housing and traffic density, and in Golden Square if residents had not stood up, the loss of our community swimming pool. So much for paying rates. It is time council realised that people are not getting big interest payments and are losing employment. It’s time for council to stand up to all these losses in our region by being outspoken in that regard and backing it up with a tightening of their belt and not the ratepayers. Bill Collier, Golden Square

Roundabout relief The Strathfieldsaye Road-Tannery Lane intersection is one I use often, so I know how dangerous it is. At school pick up and drop off times, with the kids in the back, it’s just scary. That’s why I’m so relieved to hear Jacinta Allan and the Labor Party have promised to make the intersection much safer by building a roundabout there. The Strathfieldsaye community has been calling for this for years, but nothing has been done. Wouldn’t it be great to have a government that gets on with fixing the real problems in our community? That’s what I’ll be voting for in November. Damien Hurrell, Strathfieldsaye

Councillors avoid waste Imagine jury members refusing to hear all the evidence then reaching a verdict – outrage. Well five councillors did that to witness Cr Peter Cox in the July 30 council budget debate. Cr Cox told councillors he’d studied the draft budget for several months, spent considerable time identifying 10 efficiency and savings ideas and preparing for debate. All up, possibly $10million savings within the $180million council budget. There would be no reduction in essential services or major projects. Who wouldn’t sit up and take notice? Ideas senior officers avoided, like redeploying staff instead of employing 13 new ones; improving outcomes from the sustainable environment unit’s nine staff; reducing certain projects like car

parking in Rosalind Park for the Gaol Theatre; lowering council’s $3.5million inefficiency tax to the EPA because of poor tip performance; better vehicle and plant replacement; accelerating sales of underperforming or unwanted assets. Yes boring, but reasonable ideas. Why waste residents’ money? These ideas could have reduced the six per cent burden for all; particularly the vulnerable. In debate Cr Cox got to idea seven. Whack! Five councillors shut him down. They refused to hear ideas eight, nine and 10. The five denied the public’s right to information. Shame. Democracy suffered. Crs Leach and Chapman backed Cr Cox. The five mufflers, proud of six per cent rate rises, cleverly remained silent when seeking election, or claimed they would minimise increases. What hypocrisy. Imagine if these councillors were bold, seized the day, and agreed with just a few of the ideas. Result – zero rate increase, and money left over for suburbs and rural areas. Look at your rate notice. You judge if the five councillors cared, or accepted budget slackness, or were complacent, or overwhelmed, or too indulgent. Councillors and senior staff must do better. Ted Coleman, Strathfieldsaye

Outstanding care A 24 year-old man dies a slow and agonising death from overwhelming septicaemia and multiple organ failure, isolated from loving family and friends, after cutting his foot in an Australian tax-payer funded gulag. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison, in defiance of inconvenient reality, declares that the man received “outstanding care”. A society which incarcerates people has a fundamental duty of care towards them. The most vicious and heinous criminals residing within our maximum security prisons will never perish in custody in the wretched way that Hamid Kehazaei did, having been denied basic, timely and appropriate 21st century medical care. How many more young people will die foreseeably medieval deaths at our hands, having committed no crime? How many more will be irretrievably physically and psychologically damaged by the inhumanity of our refusal to acknowledge “asylum seekers” as our fellow man? Surely this is not what Coalition voters wanted when they voted to “stop the boats”? Surely even those among us who believe we must be cruel to be kind and continue to support the punitive immigration policies of both old parties must also believe

there is only so low we can go? How does the recognition that the misfortune and suffering of others could be one’s own, but for the grace of God, elude such an avowedly Christian government and nation? Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Time will tell for Bickley I see Mr Greg Bickley is playing the same game as he did with his very expensive failure trying to be elected as a State Member of Parliament, as he did when he tried to become the Federal Member for Bendigo. Once again he is up for any photo shoot possible, taking credit for things that he has no power or authority in making decisions on, such as the pedestrian crossing at Elmore and in some ways the Epsom railway station. The decision will be made by the voters on November 29, and only then will he know his fate, if he has been successful and whether the Coalition gets returned for another term of government. Voters didn’t buy his last attempt, and it is quite possible they won’t be bought off this time either. So I guess it will be watch this space and only time will tell. Ivan Kitt, Bendigo

Health still a priority AN anniversary went by unnoticed this week, and it was an important one for Bendigo. On September 10, 2010, the Bendigo Weekly exclusively revealed the then-Liberal Party Opposition would make a significant announcement in the city later that day. Opposition Leader Ted Baillieu announced, if elected, his new government would build a $630 million new Bendigo hospital. The figures were astonishing, and trumped the then-Labor Government’s earlier plan. Premier John Brumby announced, in May, the government would build a $473m new hospital for the city. Unexpectedly, the announcement was for a hospital spread over two sites, with the cancer centre staying where it is now, on the corner of Stewart and Bayne streets. Community and health leaders, including senior Bendigo Health staff, thought that wasn’t good enough. They began a community campaign to urge the construction of a single-site hospital, with a cancer centre and improved mental

health facilities. When Mr Baillieu’s chief of staff sat in the Weekly’s Bridge Street offices on September 9, telling us of the new plan, it was music to our ears. Mr Baillieu and thenShadow Health Minister David Davis had listened

Both sides of politics played their role to the community and delivered. They weren’t expected to win the election, but it forced Labor to consider upgrading their plans. Both sides of politics played their role in what is now more than one year into construction. Without Labor’s commitment, there is doubt whether the cranes would be there now. Without the Coalition’s gutsy call, we could have been stuck with

something the Weekly called halfprice healthcare. Four years later, and it would be easy for both sides of politics to think they have done enough for Bendigo’s healthcare needs. However, they are still both fighting hard to improve things for the sector, and the local community. Yesterday, both the government and opposition held press conferences about health. Mr Davis was announcing community health funding, and Labor was expressing concern about the level of hospital funds. It is impressive that four years later, the city’s health is still a priority, and still being fought over.

pk Cathedral sends message with Peter Kennedy

IT’S one of Bendigo’s most loved, and most visited buildings and one where despite its obvious acknowledgement and reverence to the Catholic faith, many thousands of non-Catholics and indeed, non-Christian visitors continue to be awed by the architectural wonder that is the Sacred Heart Cathedral. And soon it’s going to look even better, with important work on demolishing one of two buildings that partially obstruct views of the cathedral from High Street. This is set to commence shortly as part of the early stages of work on developing the culturally significant Faiths on the Goldfields Interpretative Centre and associated facilities in the high profile cathedral precinct.

Sharing the outdoors

KIDS teaching kids to develop an environmental awareness is the aim behind Huntly Primary School’s joint venture with the Northern Bendigo Landcare Group. More than 140 students took part in a range of activities in the bush land of Huntly alongside the Bendigo Creek recently. Ten groups of grade three and four students from Huntly primary, took fellow students from Goornong and Epsom through a number of activities ranging from tree planting, water quality testing, exploring macro vertebrates and creating clay seed balls, to name a few. Grade four students Sarah Campbell and Milli Jackson, helped lead the macro invertebrate workshops. “This is my favourite activity because we get to see how the water bugs live and swim,” Sarah said. “I really like teaching the other kids and it’s a good day out of class,” Milli said. Northern Bendigo Landcare Group secretary Nicole Howie coordinated the day’s activities with the Active Green Team from Huntly primary. “The aim is for young people to develop an environmental custodianship,” she said. “It’s all about young

HEN Dave and Elle meet, an instant and dynamic romance begins. They both revel in what Elle describes as Limerence – the euphoria of romantic attraction – and dream of long term plans. But Elle is a romantic comedy script writer, and she can’t help but dissect their new found love like it’s a chess game. She questions her every feeling and action, mocking herself, to the detriment of their relationship. Dave, haunted by unhealthy baggage, struggles with the normal mechanisms of human interaction resulting in uncomfortable and unhappy exchanges. As their tumultuous affair unfolds their desire to be in a relationship that heralds an opportunity for them both to become parents has them naively explain away Dave’s increasingly unpredictable and violent behaviour. I don’t think it gives too much of the story away to say Ms George draws the reader in from the get go with Dave’s surprising confession of Elle’s murder. As the title suggests, we are taken on the ride of what

came before the murder with an in-depth and sensitive probing of the emotional side of Dave and Elle’s road to disaster. We spend time understanding the slightly delusional Dave as he unfolds his version of the story and we hover delicately in the mind of the murdered Elle who watches over her own murder scene in lovely dream like sequences. Anna George has a delightful way with words and dispatches the story with style and class. Ms George has worked in the legal profession, the film industry, and is a reviewer for The Age newspaper. Her knowledge of what makes a good story comes together to kick this book into a superbly delivered page turner. Readers will feel they are in good hands. - Julie Proudfoot Julie Proudfoot is a Bendigo writer and award winning author of The Neighbour.

BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT NEWSLETTER : SPRING 2014

Pictured main: Bendigo Health CEO John Mulder and Victorian Health Minister David Davis outside the new hospital site after touring the recently completed cancer bunker structures.

BENDIGO HOSPITAL CANCER BUNKERS COMPLETED Bendigo’s new world class integrated cancer centre is a step closer with the completion of the cancer bunker structures in the $630 million Bendigo Hospital Project. Touring the construction site recently, Minister for Health David Davis celebrated the first anniversary of the turning of the first sod for the new hospital, one of the largest regional healthcare projects in Australia. “The Victorian Coalition Government is delivering on our $630 million commitment to build a bigger and better hospital in Bendigo,” Mr Davis said. The milestone was a visual reminder of progress over the last 12 months, and how much closer world-leading radiotherapy and oncology services were in Bendigo. When complete, the Integrated Cancer Centre, like the rest of the Bendigo Hospital, will be state-of-the-art and will attract some of the best and brightest medical minds, keen to work with the latest technology and in modern facilities. The new Bendigo Integrated Cancer Centre will ensure local cancer patients can access the best possible care closer to home, reducing the need to travel to Melbourne. The Centre will include 22 treatment chairs for patients and cutting edge equipment including new linear accelerators and a CT scanner Mr Davis said each chair will be connected to a range of interactive technology.

“While being treated, patients will be able to connect to the internet – so they can get the weekly shop done, stay in touch with family and friends or learn more about the best ways to recover from their cancer experience,” Mr Davis said. “Chairs will also be fitted with entertainment, helping patients relax as much as possible while receiving treatment.” Four levels of the new Bendigo Hospital are now being built simultaneously and around 42,000 square metres of concrete have been poured. There are currently around 270 workers on site. The project is on budget and on track for completion in 2016. Bendigo Health Clinical Director of Oncology, Dr Rob Blum, said the Integrated Cancer Centre would provide a major boost to cancer services right throughout the Loddon Mallee region. “This wonderful Integrated Cancer Centre has been specifically designed to provide patient centred, multidisciplinary care,” Dr Blum said. “This means all the major services are co-located and integrated to provide excellence care and improved convenience to the patient. The integrated cancer centre will also support more complex treatments locally, as well as developing further research and teaching opportunity, culminating in greater self-sufficiency for the Loddon Mallee region.”

Bendigo Hospital Project Newsletter : Spring 2014 Intensive Care prototype room

PROTOTYPE ROOMS For all the action that has taken place in public view on the Bendigo Hospital Project construction site in the last 12 months, there’s been just as much behind closed doors. And behind just one set of those doors is an insight to what the interior of Bendigo’s new hospital will look like. The former engineering building on the Anne Caudle Centre campus is now home to eight Bendigo Hospital Project prototype rooms. At first glance, the rooms do not look particularly special. They are yet to have their colour palette incorporated and the lack of powered equipment and typical buzz of activity within the hospital environment creates a surreal feeling of quietness. But the role these rooms have played in the development of the new hospital is incredibly significant. Medical and nursing staff from across Bendigo Health and consumers from the local community have contributed their ideas, constructive criticism and best practice knowledge into the makeup of these prototypes. “The rooms in the new hospital will be much more functional and user friendly than those in our current hospital,” Bendigo Hospital Project Executive Director David Walker said. “A lot of items in the prototype rooms are on cardboard, paper or Velcro and can be easily moved –things like medical panels, hand sanitiser dispensers, even light switches. People can come

in and physically move things around to see which position and location will result in the best possible outcome. “Ultimately, what we have asked ourselves and everyone else is: Is it functional? Is it safe for patients? Is it safe for our staff? “The prototypes have generated a huge amount of thought and discussion from a wide cross section of people, which helps to make sure we get the best possible result for our patients and our staff.” One of the most noticeable features in the inpatient bedroom is the use of technology. Touchscreen tablets on a swinging-arm device will provide access to television, games, ordering food and drink and calling for nurses. “We brought in a girl around seven years of age, the girl’s mother and an elderly lady from the Medical Unit and asked them to order a meal,” Mr Walker said. “They were all able to do it quite easily – the young girl had ordered a meal and was watching videos on YouTube within five minutes with no assistance.” Among the suite of prototype rooms is a new bariatric room, complete with state of the art roof mounted H-track hoist systems, for bariatric patient movement. “This is something a lot of people will have never seen before – the size of the room and amenities as well as the H-track system for moving patients are all

leading edge in terms of bariatric care,” Mr Walker said. Exemplar Health’s design team have worked closely with Bendigo Health to implement any changes required to each room. “They have been fantastic,” Mr Walker said. “We may have needed to move a window or bedside table three inches to the left, then move it back four inches to the right, then an inch to the left again and they have always just gone and done it. “Their focus is on ‘getting it right’ and they have been incredibly patient as we have worked through various options.” Lend Lease building director John McInerney is responsible for making every change as requested by clinical staff and consumer representatives who view the rooms. When asked if making so many changes and moving things back and forth has been frustrating, his response really epitomised why this hospital will be world class. “I have a young family and if I, any of my kids or my wife ended up in one of these rooms I would want to know for absolute certain that the people looking after us had everything exactly where they need it to be to provide the best possible care,” he said. “I’m sure everyone else would feel the same when they think of it like that.”

CONSUMERS LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NEW HOSPITAL In June, members of Bendigo Health’s nine advisory committees were invited to attend a presentation to find out more about plans for the new hospital. The consumer groups comprise past and present patients, as well as their family members and carers. Their first hand experience is valuable to the development of the new facility.

received some great feedback from those who attended. Many of the questions asked during the session have been included on the project website’s “Frequently Asked Questions” section. Visit www.bendigohospitalproject.org.au to view the question and answers and learn more about the new hospital.

The attendees were shown floor-by-floor plans for the new facility, including the integrated cancer centre, inpatient areas and landscaped spaces. This was followed by a question and answer session. Representatives from Lend Lease (the builder), Spotless (the facilities manager) and Bendigo Health were on hand to answer any questions and discuss any points of interest. This was followed by a tour of the prototype rooms. These are actual size ‘example rooms’ constructed to allow staff to see and assess the hospital’s new clinical spaces and inpatient rooms. The development of these prototypes means staff and consumers can provide feedback on the form, function and safety of the rooms, which then allows the project team to refine them before the design is finalised and the building is constructed. The project team gained a lot of valuable information from conducting the session and

Bendigo Hospital Project construction update The second building in the Bendigo Hospital Project is almost complete with the final stages of work underway on the childcare centre in Yarrington House. The operator, Jenny’s ELC, are now undertaking landscaping and the fit out required enabling it to formally open and operate as childcare centre. Structural and service work continues on the hospital. There are now only 44 separate concrete pours to be competed on the hospital site. On the lower west building there are 11 pours remaining before the structure is finished. A significant portion of level 2 has been poured and scaffolding has been stripped from level one and below. On the taller east building there are 33 pours remaining. Structural construction activity has reached the fourth level and scaffolding has been stripped up to level two. It is interesting to note that on each level some of the detailed features required for the fit out are clear, for instance the sunken area for the

shared ensuites are apparent. The amazing views that patients will have are also visible now with the 4th level providing views of Mount Alexander. With the scaffolding removed the next part of the building’s construction can occur. In the basement of the east building the service trades, for instance the electricians and plumbers, are moving in along with the blocklayers. Over the coming months this will be repeated on the upper levels. The next significant stage in the construction occurs around the middle of September when the partition trades commence work building the internal walls. External precast cladding elements to the façade will commence installation in mid September.. This will significantly change the external and internal presentation of the building as it will more closely resemble the final outcome. The third and last of the cranes to be lifted had its height raised in midAugust.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT How high will the new hospital be? Taken from the future entrance of the hospital to the roof, the height is around 36.5m. The height of the building however is not uniform – for example the part of the building that fronts Arnold St will be lower. The cabin on the crane named Ben provides a useful reference point as it is currently around 33m above ground.

Is the design of the hospital finished? The overall design is finished but the project team is still working with the hospital staff and consumers to fine tune elements of the interior fitout.

What capacity will the new hospital have? The new hospital will have 372 inpatient beds and 11 operating theatres, an integrated cancer centre, a mental health unit and a helipad on top of a new multistorey car park. The new purpose-built 80 bed mental health facility

will bring together mental health services currently split across three sites and provide an additional 33 psychiatric inpatient beds.

What hours will construction activities be taking place? Unless otherwise approved, construction activity on the site is restricted by our planning permits and will generally occur between 7.00am – 5.30pm Monday to Saturday. Work is permitted to occur up till 7.00pm weekdays and until 5.00pm on Saturdays.

suggest names for the four cranes that are constructing the new hospital. The judging panel chose these winning names, which can now be seen on the cranes: Ben, Maximus, Cranium and Lucy.

How to contact the project? If you have any questions over the course of the project you can contact us via the following:Telephone: 1300 624 246 Email: bendigohospitalproject@bendigohealth.org.au Website: www.bendigohospitalproject.org.au

Will any more cranes be erected? No. All four cranes that will be used in construction of the hospital have been erected. However, three of them will have their height increased as the structure grows.

Why do the cranes have names printed on them? The project team ran a competition in late 2013, encouraging young Loddon Mallee residents to

Plain sailing on washday All has been revealed in the laundry stakes

HIS will mean more to you if you acquaint yourself with a coracle. Jayden’s illustration on this page will give you an idea, but it’s a small round boat made for one man. I thought stone age men used them, but apparently they are still all the rage in certain parts of the world. Anyway, the long-suffering Mrs Kendall was late for work the other day because of her fixation for hanging out the washing whenever there is a chance of a good drying day. Her mother was the same, and the washing line was always full in Mrs K’s youth. When she finally rolled in to work late this week, I got the blame. Considering we work many kilometres apart and drive separate cars I fail to see how it would be, but it’s a logic I will never fathom. Apparently she-whomust-be-obeyed said to her workmates hanging out my boxer shorts is like tying up a coracle. See, I said you had to know what one was. This of course led to some embellishment and my shirts were then described as ships’

sails, and the reason why hanging the washing took so long to complete. Apparently my coracles and shirts are so heavy the washing line keeps breaking, too. Now I was clearly described on the hefty side, the various colleagues of Mrs K looked up my facebook page to see the husband. It’s quite scary the ridicule I must have gone through at the hands of Mrs K, but if it’s on facebook it’s out there. There are a mixture of pictures of me at various sizes, but some of my louder shirts make me look big.

So now the giggling vet nurses out Kilmore way see me as a sail-wearing type, with big boxer shorts which billow in the wind. I will be pre-judged and mocked, and knowing Mrs K there will be a nickname included. I am almost shy to ever meet up with them over the way out east. They will be obsessing about my coracles. You have to wonder why a partner would do this, but the world of Mrs K is certainly a strange one and I guess it’s OK to be a figure of fun in her world.

You don’t know me or Mrs K so surely no harm can come from a little secret printed in more than 38,000 newspapers, it may even be cut and pasted into news now and be on the internet. Power at my fingertips. Then again best I just ride with the coracle and sails gag. Doesn’t do to upset Mrs K too much. Twitter@stevekendall1

dear dotty... Dear Dotty, I am really in need of a holiday but while I want a change I can’t afford to go very far. I am single, bored with life and vaguely anxious. Do you have any suggestions? John, Junortoun Dear John, If I may make the observation your name and address sounds very, well, boring and suburban. First of all I’d consider changing your name to something exotic such as Juan or Jesus. Yes, Jesus of Junortoun has a real ring to it. Now for the holiday. Jesus, I really think you should go to Patchewollock, just some 100km west of Swan Hill (or Swanall to the locals.) This is the story of how Patchewollock got its name. A man who lived there had a dog called Wollock. One day they were out shooting rabbits when Wollock tripped the man up and he accidently shot himself in the eye. Because he had to wear a patch everyone called the man Patchy, of course. Now many people thought that Patchy might have been angry with Wollock and shot him back. But no, Jesus, that old Patchy was very understanding and loved Wollock to the day Patchy died from natural causes. After that Wollock wandered around the town by himself for years and whenever anybody saw him, they’d say, “Why there goes Patchy’s Wollock. The name was eventually shortened to Patchewollock.

Illustration: “Wildey”

Now, what to see in Patchwollock. There is the pub of course which is where you can still get steak and eggs and chips. That’s where you’ll meet all the locals and there is a marriage celebrant in town in case you meet someone nice. There are wonderful sunsets and a community store. The population is 160 people, plus Wollock. Dear Dotty, A big congratulations to Bendigo council for turning on the blue lights on the Alexandra Fountain at Charing Cross during the prostate cancer campaign. However, the drug problem in Bendigo has been getting bad of late and that blue light was a beacon call to the drug users. Graeme, Golden Square Dear Graeme, I can only agree with you. The sight of junkies riding the horses, playing gargoyles and drowning in the fountain was really awful. I would hate to think what tourists thought of our community as they drove through. About time we cleaned up this city. twitter@DearDotty

Bendigo calling for Ireland’s Derek W

ITH a taste of Ireland and the flavour of Nashville, Derek Ryan visits Bendigo on September 18. “It is a dream come true to perform my music to an Australian audience,” Ryan said. “It is one place I have never visited before and I am extremely excited to take my music to a new audience at the other side of the world. “Australia, like Ireland, has a great love

for country music and I hope my music will be well received.” Derek came to fame as a member of The Ryan Brothers, a band he formed with his brother Adrian and then moved into a successful pop music career as a member of D-Side. Unable to shake off the sounds that resonated from his mother’s kitchen radio, Ryan got hooked on Nashville greats and started to write his songs, including

A Song for Carlow which won him his first award for song writing. “With the downturn in the economy in Ireland over this past five years many young folk have left the country and many are now living and working in Australia,” Ryan said. “I have had hundreds of requests from people to come to Australia.” Derek will be playing the Bendigo Club on September 18.

APER Boat Armada has won the 2014 Push Start Battle of the Bands competition, and will now compete at the regional finals. About 200 people supported the event, run by Greater Bendigo council’s Mic Up Production’s event team and headspace Bendigo. Paper Boat Armada front man James Hickey said the band was stoked to take out the competition. “We tied for third last year, so it was great that we could pull off the win,” Hickey said. “The band has been working really hard

and we’re keen to compete against other winning bands. It will be good to test ourselves in front of a broader audience.” Six acts competed, with heavy metal act Path of Destruction coming second and the unique acoustic folk duo Deer Prudence, featuring Mariah McCarthy and Georgia Delves, coming third. Lindsay Rose from headspace Bendigo congratulated all the acts involved. “We are pleased to partner with the council as headspace is all about supporting our young people in all aspects of their lives,” he said.

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

For all important occasions

Good food shouldn’t be seen as a luxury T

HE pleasure of a night out at one of the quality restaurants in Bendigo is an investment – an investment in experiencing new flavours, new techniques, new ingredients. An investment in spending time with family and friends. An investment in taking time out of busy times to be together, to laugh, to talk. The information revealed by the Bendigo Weekly regarding the level of financial strain and poverty in Bendigo is sobering and may mean that some think good food – whether it is dining out or at home, is out of their reach. It doesn’t have to be like that. As has been said by others, the first way it doesn’t have to be like that is through us as a community finding a solution for those stats. Another is by spreading the word that good food doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. That good food can be a saving. Sometimes I have to cut back on expenditure, usually because of overspending on shoes, but thinking about what you spend on food is a great way to analyse how you can do it better. My tips for eating well and tightening the pursestrings: 1. Don’t shop when you are hungry. Yes I am guilty of doing the 6pm Monday night drop into the supermarket. Great way to bump into a lot of people doing the same. Great way to overspend.

2. Plan your meals in advance. Last minute overexpenditure and waste, dare I say even takeaway, happens when there’s the “what’s for dinner tonight” panic. Avoid it by planning your meals for the week before you go shopping. 3. Buy in season. With supermarkets full of fruit from all over the world, sometimes it’s hard to know what is actually in season these days. Get to know the seasons. Buy when in season. It tastes better and costs less. 4. Perfect three evening meal recipes that you can cook in less time than it takes to order and pick up takeaway. Keep the ingredients on hand. 5. Do bulk cook ups. A term’s worth of spag bol in the freezer 6. Take your lunch from home. Despite sending kids off with well packed lunchboxes I still live as if I am in my 20s and don’t take my own lunch. That’s now changing as we have kicked off a lunch club in the office this week. Boy is it cheap to buy enough ingredients for 20 people’s rolls 7. Go to the Farmers Market. It costs nothing to wander around, get a feel for the products. You can then buy something within your budget. You’ll soon understand the way you can save shopping that way. 8. Save up for a night out somewhere special once in a while.

LOOK OUT for the catalogue

in this week’s BendigoWeekly TEAM EFFORT: Volunteers make it happen.

Help at the market

S the full name of the Bendigo Community Farmers Market suggests, the market is largely run for and by the community of the Bendigo region. That means that, aside from a very few part time roles, the market is largely run by volunteers, and that includes this Saturday. Everyone else, from those helping shoppers at the info tent to the admirable CFA set up/pull down crew; the guest chefs on the community stage; the buskers; and most of the committee of management, volunteers their time. The market has often had local MP Lisa Chesters selling

raffle tickets. The market is seeking one more dedicated volunteer. The secretary for the committee of management is a central point of contact for general market enquiries and maintains market records. “The outgoing secretary, Sara Hill, has been quietly passionate and highly competent”, said market president, Ann Lansberry, herself a volunteer. For a position description, interested parties can email info@bcfm.org.au. This month’s market is on Saturday, September 14, from 9am until 1pm at Sidney Myer Place.

Opium availability I

N Bendigo’s Chinatown in the 19th century it was a simple transaction to buy opium, as it was sold in a number of shops without any problem. Most people understand today, that opium and its derivatives are severely restricted by law. As far as can be ascertained, the opium plant has its origins in the Middle East and its use in Mesopotamia was recorded some 5400 years ago. The ancient Sumerians called opium the “joy plant”. Opium was also known to the Assyrians from when it passed down south to the Egyptians, where they began cultivating it as well. Gradually the opium plant and its cultivation spread along the ancient “silk road” from the Mediterranean to Asia, partially helped in its travels by Alexander the Great who introduced the plant to Persia and India. Today the opium poppy is grown in a 7500 kilometre stretch from Turkey to Burma. In more modern times it was introduced to the Americas, mainly Mexico and Columbia. The ancient Greeks and Romans were well

aware of the medicinal qualities of opium as a powerful pain reliever, and its euphoric effects were also well known to the ancients. Opium was recognised as a narcotic which could easily enslave the user. Through the work of chemists and those involved in the drug manufacturing industry in the past 250 years the following products have learnt to be extracted from raw opium: heroin, codeine, morphine, and oxycodene plus a number of other derivatives. Morphine was first to be extracted back in 1803 from the opium resin. Morphine’s effects were at least 10 times more powerful than that of the opium itself. The pain relieving properties of morphine came to be recognised as a useful tool in medicine. German chemists were successful in synthesizing heroin from morphine in 1874, but its medicinal properties were not exploited until 1898. It was not realised at that time that heroin was extremely addictive. As soon as heroin’s addictive qualities were documented intense caution began to be practised with its use in the field of pain re-

In their honour A

LTHOUGH World War I ended in 1918 it would be another year before peace was realised across the world. Many monuments in Australia commemorate the end of the war as 1919. At the time, with war still fresh in peoples’ minds, three Avenues of Honour were planted in our region. The first was the Soldiers Memorial Avenue at Epsom, which had 75 plane trees planted on July 17, 1920 to remember those who served from the area, which then crossed both the City of Bendigo and Shire of Huntly boundaries. Next came 88 palms planted in the Shire of Marong on August 4, 1920. Some of the trees can still be seen dotted through Marong’s streetscape today. The last Avenue of Honour was Anzac Avenue at the East Bendigo State School. Twenty-three trees were planted on December 11, 1920 with the intention to plant more, so that every person from East Bendigo who served had a tree. As we mark the ANZAC Centenary it is not only the people and the memorials that we should remember. There are also the living memorials of the Avenues of Honour that form part of our war history. - Danielle Orr

lief in medical situations. According to some sources it was the Arab traders who helped to introduce the opium poppy to China in the fourth century. Seeds from the opium poppy are also used in food production, particularly in baking for flavouring bread or cakes. Apparently it was the Portuguese who introduced the idea of the smoking of opium and in so doing discovered its euphoric effects in the early 16th century. During this age of European exploration of the then lesser known parts of the world the Portuguese helped to introduce their smoking practice to southern China. The Chinese however

at this time thought this smoking practice to be subversive and barbaric. Laudanum was introduced into European medicine in the early 16th century. The little black balls of laudanum were used for pain relief. Around the year 1700 the Dutch were smoking opium using the long stemmed clay tobacco pipes. In the same period the Chinese emperor Yung Cheng put out an edict to prohibit the smoking of opium and its sale except for medicinal purposes. Once the British East India Company had control over Bengal and Bihar the production and growing of opium became a priority for them. They soon established a monopoly in the grow-

ing of opium poppies and dealing in the trade of the opium extract as a salable commodity. Trade in opium products was being pushed by the British East India Company into southern China. In the middle of the 18th century a vast amount of opium was being very profitably sold into China by them. Alarm in China as to the effects that the opium trade was having on the populace caused Imperial Chinese Commissioner Lin Tse-Hsu to suppress the opium trade in 1839. Lin Tse-Hsu gave orders for foreigners to surrender their opium. The result of this order was that the British assembled an expeditionary naval force to China thus starting the first opium war.

Fish flick a must for avid fly fishers

HE world’s most extensive fly fishing film festival, Rise, is being hosted by the Bendigo and District Fly Fishing Club at the Star Cinema in Eaglehawk on Tuesday evening, September 30. Now in its ninth year, Rise is showcasing the diverse world of fly fishing, connecting anglers through shared experiences and creating public awareness of fly fishing’s new vibrant emergence. The festival allows the fishing community to share their passion for the sport, by attending film screenings across the country. Rise screens exclusive content from the world’s best fly fishing film makers. Cinema audiences will be gripped by stunning footage from New Zealand, Iceland, Argentina, Bahamas, USA and Alaska, presented in high definition on the big screen. Gin-Clear Media’s Backcountry – North Island is the feature film of the festival. The backcountry of New Zealand holds a special place in the heart of all Kiwis according to the producer.

Edward River delivers for local anglers

NGLERS from the Bendigo Legion Angling Club hit the jackpot recently, with the annual Seeker Pairs held on the Edward River upstream from Stevens Weir near Deniliquin NSW, with half those attending encountering a legal sized Murray cod. Eighteen anglers enjoyed the good weather and ideal water conditions for some remarkable fishing that this area is becoming renowned for. Kayak fisherman Anthony Griffith and Wayne Symons took out the 2014 Seekers Pairs with Anthony’s 67cm and 77cm Murray cod trolled up from the mud flats in the five to six metre depth range. However Daryl Longmuir took the prize for the largest fish, trolling up an identical sized 77cm cod on lighter line. Even two of the club’s juniors got among the action with Mick Ripper landing a 74cm cod and James Harvery troubling the statistician with a 64cm specimen. Club anglers will again be on the road this month to a new

FRESHWATER FISHING

NICK ATYEO venue at Bonnie Doon, Lake Eildon currently sitting at 86 per cent capacity. Previously club activity has mainly concentrated in the Eildon and Jerusalem Creek area . Target species are at the anglers discretion however with the worst of winter now over the Golden Perch should be starting to move, along with the succulent redfin and ever present trout. Contact Rob Bayliss for more details. Dartmouth Dam is again scheduled for the October trip on the second weekend of October – contact John Telford for further information. Meanwhile John Bradley’s letter, “Rethink needed on catch size” published in the Bendigo Weekly, August 29, deserves further discussion due to several inaccuracies, the most vital being that Murray Cod can reach 500mm size in 12

months and the claimed large numbers of bigger Murray cod. Fisheries estimate that Murray cod reach 50cm in size between five and six years on average with a further three years to exceed 70cm in the south-eastern Murray Darling Basin region Surveys consistently demonstrate the majority of cod caught being recorded as undesize, regardless of minimum size, suggesting angling pressure is having a detrimental affect on Murray cod stocks once fish reach legal size. There are always high profile anglers that appear to catch a disproportionate number of large cod, more due to the amount of time spent on the water and local knowledge rather than a large number of bigger fish. Just ask any group of average anglers how many have actually landed a metre plus fish. Black-water mortality rates were not included in the department’s calculations, not because it favoured their proposal for a more restrictive slot limit but because of its spasmodic nature and severity – bearing in mind black-water flows can occur

Young guns in spotlight By JOEL PETERSON

SEVEN Bendigo products will be on show this weekend in AFL Victoria’s Young Guns exhibition game. Bendigo Gold’s Sam Heavyside and Jake Aarts, Bendigo Pioneers Blake Poyser, Jaden McGrath, Jake Maher and Daniel Davie along with North Ballarat’s Bryce Curnow have all been selected in a 40-man squad for the

match. Former Golden Square standout Curnow lined up for the Roosters this season, and along with Heavyside looms as one of the more interesting players to watch in the contest. The game functions as a second chance for players to be seen by recruiters, if their side’s season has ended or they missed time during injury. McGrath fell in the

later category, and the former AIS-AFL academy member will be looking to show his wares on

Guns’ origins dates back to an All Stars match that featured players who had played in Division Two

It basically expands the net for other players outside of the ... talent pathway Sunday at North Port Oval. AFL Victoria high performance manager Anton Grbac said the Young

teams of the AFL U18 Championships and TAC Cup players. “It’s basically for players age 23 or younger, but

an older player can play depending on the interest from AFL recruiting staff,” he said. “It basically expands the net for other players outside of the so-called talent pathway to get an opportunity to play in a good standard game in front of the recruiters.” The game will be played from 11am on Sunday at Port Melbourne’s North Port Oval.

Bagshot hosts Khanacross MOTORSPORT fans will descend on Bendigo this weekend, when the Bendigo Car Club hosts the Australian Khanacross titles at Bagshot. The Bagshot Motorsport Complex will be the home for the event, that will attract competitors from all over the state, and country. The event has attracted interstate competitors who will be competing for an Australian title over two days of competition, over eight classes of cars will run on the dirt surface. Last year’s titles were held at Lanac Park, South Australia. Racing starts at 10am each day at the Collins Road complex, with catering provided, and free entry for spectators. More information is available at www.bendigocarclub.com.au.

RACE READY: Driver Brad Hall with naming right sponsor Norm Brown of Bendigo Specialist Brake and Clutch.

Spirit for the Opals From Page 48 Joyce believes the team that will take on the world’s best in Turkey represents a generational shift in the Opals program. “The past two years has seen a significant turnover of players in the program, presenting opportunities to young players and others on the periphery to stake their claim,” Joyce said. “Injury, retirements and unavailability has opened the door for a new generation of players to become pillars of the program and continue the tradition of success on the international stage. “This team represents the changing face of the Jayco Opals, with a blend of emerging talent and established stars ready to take on the world’s best.” The Opals open their campaign in Istanbul against Cuba on Saturday, September 27 at 9.15pm AEST. Based in Istanbul, the Jayco Opals will also face Korea and Belarus in their Group C fixtures leading into the knockout rounds, and eventually the tournament final on Monday, October 6. All of Australia’s games throughout the tournament will be televised on ABC2.

Ladies miss out

By JOEL PETERSON

RECOGNISED: Alex Rowe with students at the BSSC elite sports stars.

Athletics star shares his skills BENDIGO Senior Secondary College’s elite sports stars were recognised this week, when the college held its annual Sports Stars Luncheon on Wednesday. BSSC students have represented the school in a range of sports on a regional, state and world stage in 2014,including AFL football, golf, basketball, rowing, cycling, diving, orienteering and clay shooting. The BSSC Lions played at the State School Victoria AFL Premier League Grand final on the MCG in June, where they went down to Box Hill. Diver Megan George competed individually and as a part of the Victorian team at the School Sport Australia national diving championships. Golfer Kurtis Lynch represented Victoria at the School Sport Australian Championship, while Lucas Herbert was awarded the Golf Sporting Blue at the Victorian School Sports Awards in March.

Herbert has also been competing at national and international events throughout 2014, including this week’s Eisenhower Cup. Australian athletics star Alex Rowe was the guest speaker at the event. Rowe shares the national record for being the fastest man to run 800 metres, and has won gold and silver medals at the Australian national track and field championships. BSSC principal Dale Pearce said the event was an important acknowledgement of the students’ perseverance and success in competing at an elite level as well as completing VCE studies. “The college follows the challenges of all the athletes with a keen interest,” Pearce said. “As well as providing a flexible timetable and extra support to accommodate the training needs of students, as a community we are cheering them on every time they compete.”

ACCORDING to Bendigo Lady Braves coach Jonathan Goodman, it was the one that got away, a threepoint loss on a basket in the last two seconds of overtime, that denied his side a shot at an SEABL title. One-time Bendigo Spirit recruit Kathleen Scheer provided the dagger, that saw Hobart through to the South East Australian Basketball League final, where the Lady Chargers will face Brisbane. A devastated Lady Braves group was left reeling after the shot, which came after the home side had rallied to force the game into an extra fiveminute period. Goodman said on Wednesday he had not had time to reflect on the game, but the emotions within the team were still at the forefront. “Yeah, I’m still really disappointed. I think we had our opportunities, and I think it was the one that got away,” he said. “Everyone played well, the game was high quality but unfortunately we were not on the right end of it. “Even though they finished third I think people forget they were on the box seat to finish top. Cayla (Francis) came into that group and made them a lot better, and they were very, very strong. “We just, unfortunately, could not capitalise on

a few mistakes of theirs and then we have one lapse defensively and they get a shot off and win the game.” After last year’s finals loss to Knox, there was a fire burning within the side to go one better this season. Goodman said his initial indications from the group to remain together have been positive, and said the fire will be reig-

nited next season among those remaining players. “I could not be prouder of the group this season. I think they did a magnificent job and it was such a fun season to coach,” the second-year coach said. “When I talked to the girls, it seems like we will be able to keep the bulk back together, which would be great. “There was a bit of a

flame within the girls left from last season, and I’m sure that will be the case again next year.” In a high-turnover league, keeping star players such as Alex Bunton and LaSondra Barrett will be difficult, but a possible key to future success. With the group he took charge of in 2014, Goodman says he will not be targeting an individual player or need in recruiting.

“The first goal is keeping what talent we already have, because I believe we had a really great roster this season,” he said. “I don’t think we really lacked in any area, we were just beaten by a better side on the day. “I will be as hungry as anyone to come back better next year, and I’m sure that the group, whoever it consists of, will feel the same way.”

Spirit for the Opals

Braves miss out A basket in the last two seconds of overtime denied the Lady Braves a shot at a national SEABL title. - Story Page 46

By JOEL PETERSON

SO CLOSE: The Lady Braves were beaten in the last seconds of the game.

The automatic choice.

THE Bendigo Spirit will provide both the youngest and oldest members of the Australian Opals team for next month’s FIBA World Championship for Women. Both 21-year-old point guard Tessa Lavey and 33-year-old recruit Belinda Snell have been selected in coach Brendan Joyce’s final 12-player squad. Spirit all-star centre Gabe Richards was also selected as an emergency, as was former Spirit star Tess Madgen. Lavey has been a favourite of Joyce since he was introduced as Opals coach last year, despite not registering heavy minutes with the Spirit. Joyce has spoken numerous times about the former Swan Hill junior’s potential as the point guard of the future for the Opals, and her selection represents a big step in that direc-

tion when she contests her debut World Championship tournament. Snell will be contesting her third consecutive world championships, after also suiting up for the Opals

The WNBL... will continue to be one of the premier basketball competitions in 2006 and 2010. The three-time Olympian will be joined by Penny Taylor, Marianna Tolo and Erin Phillips, who both joined her at the 2010 tournament in the Czech Republic. Melbourne Boomers trio Bec Allen, Rachel Jarry and Nat Burton, Sydney Uni’s

Leilani Mitchell, Dandenong’s Liz Cambage, Townsville’s Cayla Francis and Adelaide’s Laura Hodges round out the nine-player WNBL contingent. “The WNBL is and will continue to be one of the premier basketball competitions in the world,” Joyce said. “This competition continues to unearth talent that feeds through to the national team, with the likes of Rebecca Allen, Tessa Lavey and Natalie Burton the latest players to graduate to the Jayco Opals. “Having a league of the standard of the WNBL will ensure the Opals continue to push for international honours.” Joyce said the turnover of nine players from the 2010 team represents the changing face of women’s basketball in the country.
