Metro rail to ‘change face of the city’
July, Greater Bendigo council was working on plans to have a suburban train network within a decade. Mr Andrews yesterday announced $2 million to create a “taskforce” to begin to look at demand, timetabling, marketing and fleet options.
Bendigo Metro Rail will have its own timetable, but could include some Melbourne trains. The initial project will look at running trains between the city’s existing train stations – Bendigo, Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk and Epsom. Only once demand is strong

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 31, 2014
INNER city living continues to emerge as an attractive option for Bendigo residents looking to enjoy the best of both worlds. In recent times, several major residential developments have commenced marketing and/or construction at key locations throughout inner-city Bendigo as more residents embrace the attractions of living within walking distance of most of the city’s major landmarks and attractions. Construction is well under way on a site at 232 View Street adjacent to the former Parkview Hotel, where four multi-storey apartments are being developed to be sold at prices between $599,000 and $820,000. Just down the street, marketing has started for another four dwelling complex of quality apartments to be constructed at 177 View Street opposite Bendigo’s Queen Elizabeth Oval, with prices ranging from $925,000 to $1 million for quality three and four bedroom apartments. Early interest has seen one apartment sold already. On the opposite side of the CBD and at the top end of Mitchell Street, builders have moved in on a former paint shop at the prominent intersection of Mollison Street, with work on another multi-apartment complex well under way, and plans for a striking modern façade to create a unique prop-

The iconic former Webb and Co building at the corner of Williamson and Queen streets is also being given a new lease of life with plans for 15 one and two bedroom apartments across three levels of the historic 1878 built warehouse. THE Real Estate Institute of Victoria is leading an alliance to fight what it claims are damaging changes to the Estate Agents Act being proposed by
the State Government. The proposed changes, lobbied for by the Shopping Centre Council of Australia and the Property Council of Australia, will exempt the largest owners of commercial property from offering key protections embedded in the Act. The REIV says that as a result of the changes, many small businesses will lose the important protections afforded to them when they buy or lease commercial property. The proposed changes have
shocked Victorian small businesses, as the government had earlier in the year advised that this was “off the agenda.” REIV chief executive officer Enzo Raimondo said the inherent safeguards provided by the Estate Agents Act, such as mandatory use of a trust account, access to the REIV’s valuation and mediation processes and the many other quality assurances put in place by the Act, REIA and REIV would be lost if the changes were implemented.

‘Don’t ignore roads’
BY ANTHONY RADFORD
BENDIGO West Liberal Party candidate Greg Bickley has attacked Greater Bendigo council’s Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy. ITLUS does not recommend any new or duplicated roads, unlike the strategy it replaced, the Bendigo Road Transport Strategy. Instead, ITLUS pushes for a priority focus on buses, bikes and pedestrianisation of streets. However, it suggests doing this through education campaigns and by making some roads car and truck unfriendly. It also goes as far as recommending buses take priority over cars and trucks on busy routes at busy times. Mr Bickley said he supported the push for an inter-urban train network, as well as more buses and bikes. However, he said ignoring road
growth was not catering to existing or future demand. “The report pins its hopes on a large cultural shift away from driving cars and trucks,” he said. “We have the second-highest two-car ownership in regional Victoria, and 85 per cent of trips are done by car. “You can’t have an integrated transport plan without improving the road network. “Just as the previous road transport strategy was criticised for leaving out important aspects such as buses and bikes, this report seems to leave out the the most important transport modes we have; cars and trucks. “If we plan to include sustainable transport options, and also consider duplicating major car and freight routes, we can have the best of both worlds.” Mr Bickley said the philosophy
behind the report was skewed one way. “We are not a European city. What concerns me is that this type of top-down approach implies a group think mentality that ‘we know what’s best for you’,” he said. “Throughout our community, the concepts, projects and plans that
work if we buy into it,” he said. “What if the marketing and educational campaign doesn’t work? We will be left with more congestion. “This plan could make things worse because it insists on not making cars a priority, it almost ignores their relevance to the community, despite many times mentioning
The report pins its hopes on a large cultural shift away from driving cars and trucks people latch on to, engage with and support are those that come from the community themselves, not those that are imposed upon us.” Mr Bickley said if the “educational campaigns” didn’t work, Bendigo could be worse off. “Shifting and consolidating spending priorities to infrastructure that will make us healthy will only
how prevalent they are.” Mr Bickley praised the light rail component of the plan, but wanted it to go further “I believe a long-term ambition to see more rail infrastructure is vital for our growth,” he said. “The opening of the new Epsom train station is testament to this. “I would liked to have seen

plans for a light rail service to Strathfieldsaye. “The road reserve is in place to duplicate the road, why not run light rail down the centre?” Mr Bickley, a former truck driver, also criticised ITLUS’ freight hubs plan. “Freight hubs have been spoken about for many years, and they are a waste of time and money,” he said. “People don’t like being told what they can and can’t do. “People are choosing to drive and send their freight via road in record numbers, and that needs to be catered for, not dismissed as something that can be changed via marketing or social media. “By all means, build bike tracks and encourage walking. “And lets build the rail infrastructure we need, but make the goals realistic, or the community will dismiss them immediately.”
Walk scheme seems familiar BY ANTHONY RADFORD
Coverage of this story is available at www.bendigoweekly.com.au
ON LINE: Daniel Andrews announced the plan at Bendigo station yesterday.
Labor promises Metro Rail network W From Page 1 “Bendigo is home to some of the fastest growing areas in regional Victoria. We have to plan for it now.” Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan said she believed it would be the first comprehensive suburban rail network in regional Australia. “It is about setting up
the foundations for the Bendigo of the future,” she said. “We have the vision to get this project started. “It will take a lot of hard work to make this change.” Ms Allan said the community would be heavily consulted about what services they wanted and when. “If you deliver a service
people want, they will use it,” she said. “This is introducing a significant new transport option for people to use. “I am confident people will use it if they are given an opportunity to.” Ms Allan said the plan was about the future of Bendigo transport. “The reason why we should do it is to keep
Bendigo the kind of place we want to live,” she said. “We don’t want to have congestion problems like Melbourne. “Unless we do something differently, we are going to keep having clogged roads. “However, you can only get to that point if you start somewhere. “Personally, I think it’s a great vision to have.”
NEW plans to give pedestrians the right-of-way on the city’s busiest street are eerily similar to the failed Walk Bendigo idea. Walk Bendigo, a plan to make major CBD streets shared zones, was ditched in 2010 after significant community anger. Greater Bendigo council’s Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy contains a plan to give pedestrians priority in Pall Mall, from Don Street to Mundy St. “Traffic treatment in Pall Mall, with the extent indicated in the map, will decrease car traffic but most importantly it will act as a step towards activating public life in Bendigo,” the report said. “Consequently Bendigo’s car-dominated streets are not conducive to street life. “By prioritising pedestrians over cars, this initiative places greater value on streets as places for life and addresses the imbalance.” The strategy calls for cars and trucks to not be a priority for the CBD. “The city centre will be treated differently to other parts of the network and will prioritise active modes of transport, ie walking and cycling,” the report said. Liberal Party Bendigo
East candidate Greg Bickley slammed the idea. “The plan talks about making the CBD a pedestrian priority. Walk Bendigo, here we come,” he said. “We are not a European city. What concerns me is that this type of top-down approach implies a group think mentality that ‘we know what’s best for you’.” Locals attacked the plan on the Weekly’s facebook page and website. Blake Millard wrote: “Looks like I’ll be getting a few new hood ornaments.” Kylie Keen wrote: “It is a main thoroughfare to get from one side of town to the other and is congested enough at peak times, let alone adding right-of-way to pedestrians. Seriously silly idea.” Sharon Henson summed it up with: “OMG. What next” Lyn Boulton agreed: “Right. So who are the tools behind yet another report? Don’t they realise if they ban cars from Pall Mall it will kill every business along there?” Jason Twitt also added: “How about actually building ring roads to take the traffic out of the CBD before doing something like this? Bendigo’s road and traffic situation is getting beyond a joke.” Greater Bendigo council is yet to adopt the report.

and this is just awesome. Because of her treatment she often missed a lot of early-morning school and she is a bright little button anyway, so this will make her attendance easier,” she said. ““The kids just accept her as she is, bubbly and loud.” “Amelia is a very resilient and happy kid. She has been through an awful lot,” Mrs McCrohan said. “We’ve tried really hard to normalise CF so it’s not something that will hold her, or the family back,.” Campaigning for two years to have the drug listed, Mr McCrohan said the decision was made in the wake of the election. “Consistent with the advice of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee that this medicine could be listed on the PBS based on a pay-for-performance basis, all cystic fibrosis patients six years and older who have a G551D mutation in the CFTR gene will be treated with Ivacaftor for as long as needed,” Mr Dutton said. Over the next four years, the Federal Government will give $174.5 million to put Kalydeco on the PBS. Mrs McCrohan said this would change hundreds of lives.

BLUE balloons hang on Amelia McCrohan’s Goornong home, adorned with the sign: “We got Kalydeco”. Amelia has been given the gift of life, a drug to reduce the symptoms of her cystic fibrosis. Health Minister Peter Dutton will list the potentially life-saving drug on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme from December 1. The drug targets the underlying causes of cystic fibrosis and has been costing $300,000 a year. Cystic fibrosis sufferers, with a specific gene mutation, will be able to access both Kalydeco (Ivacaftor) and Soliris. Mum Glenyce said she was overwhelmed and could not believe it when she found out on Sunday. “I don’t have a lot of words for it. It is such an amazing feeling. I feel as lost for words now being able to access the drug as I did when we couldn’t,” she said. “There have been so many disappointments in the past, so many hurdles that had to be jumped. It is amazing it has happened.” Dad Tim said Amelia was “over the moon” when she found

BENDIGO’S new court facilities were unveiled yesterday. Attorney-General Robert Clark and Chief Magistrate Peter Lauritsen marked the completion of building works for the $12 million Bendigo Justice Centre. The centre, which was expected to be ready by December, 2013, is in the former Bull St police station. It will house 70 Justice Department staff, relocated from three sites and provide a ‘onestop shop’ for services such as Consumer Affairs, Births Deaths and Marriages, Dispute Resolution, Offending Behaviour Programs, Sheriffs and Community Correctional Services. It also includes a new court room, interview rooms, full security screening, remote witness rooms, CCTV and refitted prisoner cells, as well as secured access for prisoner transfers.

However, Mr Clark disagreed, saying the new building will allow for more cases to be heard, created dedicated interview spaces and safe waiting rooms for family-violence victims. “The redevelopment provides much better facilities for court users, and will also free up police time by allowing more prisoners to be held at the court pending trial, reducing the time police have needed

to spend shuttling prisoners to and from police cells since the move of the police station to High Street in 2007,” he said. “Residents of Bendigo and the surrounding region will benefit from having a range of justice services located in the same building, with over 75 Department of Justice and court staff under one roof. “This centre will be a valuable new addition for the Bendigo community, legal profession and court users.” The facility is expected to be fully operational by early next year.
BIG brown moths have been causing a flutter in Bendigo with the numbers of the species swollen above average. Go Pest owner John Pay said moths were a significant problem for Bendigo and Central Victoria this year. “There has definitely been an increase in the number of moths this year,” he said. “Moths are a big problem for Bendigo and Central Victoria. It is one of the worst seasons I have seen for them. I have not seen moths like this amount, for a long time.” Last week, Mr Pay had seven calls to tackle moths in homes. “It is a seasonal thing, it’s a cycle. Moths are generally spread across the board, Strathfieldsaye to Kennington to Axedale. “They are even in people’s garden furniture, on patios or in darker spots. They are getting into people’s homes.” Buzz Off owner Mark Edwards said the earlier drier, hotter conditions were ideal for breeding. “I spoke with an entomologist last week and he said there was no definite reason why. That said, it was because it was drier and earlier than usual, that’s when they hatch. Usually moths hatch over a longer period of time, about three weeks, but they have

all hatched at the same time,” he said. “Normally they hatch in the dry season from January to February but the theory is because they hatched earlier there shouldn’t be as many then.” But Mr Edwards said spraying to protect from moths was not very effective. “You can’t really spray to protect your home from moths,” he said. “When moths touch the surface, it’s like the equivalent of touching with our toenails, there is very little touch with the residual spray.” Locals are advised to try moth traps, available at the supermarket, in a bid to reduce moths in their home. But Mr Pay said the only way to prevent the spread of moths was to bring in the experts for a tailored solution. “People need to engage a professional,” he said. “Moths will then land and die, preventing more breeding.” Mr Edwards said a lot of moths entered homes through the roof and would get into down-lights and bathroom exhaust fans. “Moths are annoying but they are not pests.” – Christine McGinn

Cuts over rate rises
BY ANTHONY RADFORD
THE closure of the Park Road childcare centre could be the start of a raft of cuts as Greater Bendigo council moves towards lower rates rises. The Bendigo Weekly revealed online on Tuesday morning council will close the Bendigo Early Learning Centre in Rosalind Park in December, 2015. About 10 staff on temporary contracts will not have their contracts renewed, and 11 full-time staff will be redeployed in council’s three other childcare centres. The closure is part of a push at councillor level to look at keeping costs down and not provide services already provided in the private sector. Closing the Park Road centre will save about $100,000. Mayor Barry Lyons was asked if the angst and bad PR was worth it for just a $100,000 saving. “It is only part of the pic-

ture of ongoing reviews,” he said. “If we keep picking up $100,000 here and $100,000 there it will have effect in rates rises.” Council is also looking at reviews of its Home and Community Care services. The HACC program supports people in their own homes and communities by providing services that promote and maintain independence. The program helps frail older people, younger people with disabilities and their carers. It provides basic support and maintenance to people living at home or who are at risk of premature or inappropriate admission to long-term residential care. Council’s other child centres are expected to remain open, although its Occasional Childcare Centre at in Gladstone St operates presently at only 49 per cent of capacity.
Childcare closure angers parents BY CHRISTINE MCGINN
BENDIGO Early Learning Centre parents and staff have reacted with anger and sadness to news the facility will close down in December next year. More than 110 families and their 120 children use the 55-place centre. Father of three Terry Boucher said it was a huge shock and did not know anything about it. “I have had three children go through here. It is pretty detrimental to many families,” he said. A mother of two, who did not want to be named, also shared the disappointment. “I have been using the service for eight years and the employees here are very capable,” she said. “I have chosen this centre because I believe council provides a better level of care than private centres. “But council have been trying to cut their responsibilities to childcare for a while.” Parent Tim Firman said
it was a disappointment especially having one child in the centre and another about to start. “It’s a disappointing not just because we will have to relocate to another centre, but because we have got to know the staff here very well and we like them,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons we chose here. It is disappointing they will have to be dispersed. “We will be able to find places but we will have to get moving on it very quickly because obviously, everyone will have to find a place. “ Another mother said there was a consensus from other parents that the level of care at other centres was not as high as the Bendigo ELC. “The kids just love these ladies, they are like nannas and mums to them.” Australian Services Union branch co-ordinator Billy King came to talk to members about council’s decision to close the centre. “It is the wrong thing
HUGE SHOCK: Julian and Terry Boucher did not expect the closure. to do. This decision was made in-camera, and was not made with consultation with staff, the public or the families that use the service,” he said. “It means that childcare service delivery will be less. We believe local govern-
ment plays an integral part in early childhood services as they do in aged care. “To lose a council service, for no particular reason, other than to say there is a new centre being built at the hospital doesn’t make sense.”
Concerns over future of high-needs school program By CHRISTINE McGINN
THE future of a high-needs education program remains in doubt after questions about its financial viability were raised. Parents of about 40 students enrolled in St Luke’s Education Specialist Unit program fear they will have to transition into mainstream schools by December, 2015. The students have difficulty learning in a traditional environment, but also take part in mainstream schooling. Parents have been told the ESU program is not taking new enrolments next year and will cease to exist in 2016.
But the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development is believed to have funded a business case review of the program. St Luke’s has also backed away from communications stating the program is on the way out. ESU parent committee president Tara Smith said the students did not, and would not, function well in a traditional school. “These students cannot be integrated back into mainstream school full-time,” she said. “Their personal development is a key fundamental part of St Luke’s work and builds up their self confidence. “Unless we build up their self-
confidence now, what part of society will they form in the long-term? We need to empower them now as children.” Another mother, who did not want to be named, said her son
stream schooling,” she said. “But he won’t be okay there. He didn’t cope previously and there is no way he will return. “I won’t be able to find alternative schooling.”
These students cannot be integrated back into mainstream school full-time would not be able to return to mainstream school. “I received a phone call on October 20 from the school that the funding, as of December 2015 would be cut and we will have to look at reinstating him into main-
Parents have been told a review found the ESU ran at a $250,000 loss last year. Anglicare Victoria chief executive Paul McDonald said St Luke’s was in discussions with the department about the program.
“We are meeting the Department of Education next week to confirm future funding for the Educational Services Unit in Bendigo, but I can assure you, Anglicare Victoria is committed to working with the Department to provide specialist educational support to young people in Bendigo,” he said. “It is important children who need flexible learning approaches can assess alternative settings to fulfill their educational pathways. “To date there have been no decisions taken to close the Educational Services Unit.” A Department of Education spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

WITH the dust barely settled on last year’s Blokes Biggest Ever Lunch it’s back, and so is Ron Iddles. Mr Iddles was guest speaker last year, and a controversial talk on his role as a police homicide sergeant drew national media attention. Organiser Keith Sutherland has invited Mr Iddles back for some unfinished business on November 14. “Ron brought a lot of attention to last year’s event, and I thought it would be good to get him back,” he said. “He is now the secretary of the police association in Victoria, and a busy man, but he will be at the barbecue in the Civic Gardens. “We want to make a presentation to him as we didn’t have a chance to say thanks last year.” With just two weeks to go until the event there are only a few seats remaining. Mr Sutherland said the event goes from strength to strength. “We only have four tables left, so get in fast,” he said. “As well as Ron Iddles our special guest is Jason McCartney who is a Bali bombing survivor and ex North Melbourne and Collingwood footballer.” 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

Terminally ill, Jaxon and his family have been generously sent to America to watch a Knicks basketball game and meet the players. Within five weeks, fundraiser co-ordinator Simonne Rayner raised $17,149.45 to send the family of five overseas. The family boarded a plane on Tuesday and Jaxon will meet the Knicks team on November 3. Jaxon has been diagnosed with one of the deadliest paediatric cancers, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.

POLICE have praised Bendigo Cup revellers for their good behaviour. “Patrons were very well behaved, there were no fights, no one was locked up for being drunk at the cup,” Acting Sergeant Wayne Rowe said.
A 15 year old was caught using a fake ID at a licenced premises at the Bendigo Cup. Four drunks were locked up after 11pm on Wednesday night. However police were not sure they had attended the cup. Three people were caught drinkdriving after 7pm, but again, it was not clear if they had attended the races. “We were pretty happy with Wednesday’s outcome. There were lots of security this year, about 20foot patrol police and highway patrol surrounding the event,” Acting Sergeant Rowe said. “It was a really good event.” EAGELHAWK’S busy lunch hour was disrupted when a runaway trailer slammed into the verandah of a popular bakery on Monday afternoon. The tandem trailer became unhitched as it was driven along Eaglehawk Rd about 1.30pm. It slammed into the verandah of the Eaglehawk Hot Bake. No one was injured and Greater Bendigo council staff assessed the verandah’s structural integrity. Owner David McIntyre said it
was de ja vu for the bakery, with the verandah roof collapsing in 1986. No one was injured in the accident.

Forest review denied
MEMBERS of the Wellsford Forest Conservation Alliance gathered in the forest on Thursday to protest a recent decision of Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith. Mr Smith has denied a request for a review of the environmental, economic and social values of the Wellsford Forest by the Victorian Environment Assessment Council. Holding up a banner exclaiming “Stop the Cutting” the WFCA hope to alert the public to the vulnerability of the forest. “The minister’s claim that the old trees are already protected is simply not true,” the WFCA’s Stuart Fraser said. “The coup will be degraded by commercial logging activities, and the ecosystem which has sustained them for hundreds of years will be weakened, trashed and damaged beyond repair.” The WFCA said compaction of the soil in the coup through commercial logging activities will eventually lead to the destruction of the old trees themselves, and prevent the development of a natural forest in their wake. The Alliance also claims Special Management Zones, as highlighted by the minister, are not permanent. “A National Park gives a much higher level of protection, worthy of the status and importance of these trees,” Mr Fraser said. “Boundaries can be nibbled away as foresters conduct management on a day-to-day basis. The WFCA asserts that the minister is clearly ill-informed about the provisions of his own department.
“The last review of the forest conducted by the Victorian Environment Assessment Council (formerly ECC) was in 2001. “The minister notes that a change in tenure of the Wellsford Forest could create hardship for some local people who rely on

The minister’s claim that the ‘Old Trees’ are already protected is simply not true firewood for their domestic heating. “The WFCA acknowledges the need for firewood for domestic heating but the ECC’s final report recommended a production shift to private land. “We argue that the farm forestry industry may now meet the community needs. “The decision by the minister to continue under the current ar-
wood is undercut by what is effectively a government subsidy. “Propping up a defunct and ailing industry based on unsustainable forest exploitation will not, in the end, serve anyone and does not make economic sense. The claim that firewood collection is in some way equitable does not stand up to scrutiny. “Previous community consultation was very poorly conducted

CLEAR MESSAGE: The conservation group is protesting over a recent ruling.

and misrepresents the current situation,” according to Mr Fraser. “Important ECC information and recommendations were omitted. The ECC found that production of firewood from the boxironbark forests is not sustainable and will not be available to future generations. “Climate change projections have it that Bendigo’s forests will be the bulwark between the desertification of the area to our north, and the more fertile farming and forested land to the south. “We should be cherishing them now, managing them for conservation not plundering them for a low-value poles-and-post trade. “The request for a review has the support of the Greater Bendigo council and many in the community which makes the decision by Mr Smith even more incomprehensible.”
THE rights of children will be put firmly in the spotlight with a visit by Freda Briggs. Emeritus Professor Dr Briggs will speak at two sessions at the Girton Grammar School lecture theatre on Monday, the first session at 5pm and the second at 7.30pm. Dr Briggs is a fearless and passionate campaigner for the recognition that the rights of children are paramount. “I get extremely angry that children are treated so badly, not just by child abusers, but by the very systems that are there to supposedly protect them,” she said. “I get very angry that politicians are not interested in child protection, presumably because children don’t vote, and yet these politicians control the funding for the support of services supposed to provide care for children.” Independent Senator Nick Xenophon says Dr Briggs is an absolutely fearless advocate. “All parents, would-be parents, educators, teachers and social workers should listen very carefully to what Dr Briggs has to say – her work in Australia and internationally is invaluable,” he said. The Bendigo Anglican Mothers Union is hosting the event and the organisation’s Ronda Gault all are welcome. “No bookings are necessary, admission is free.”

PUBLIC transport users will have more accurate, real-time service information in a regional Victorian first, coming to Bendigo. Greater Bendigo council Assets, Planning and Design manager Brett Martini said they were working with Public Transport Victoria to roll out the Intelligent Transport System in the city. “PTV is looking to work with us and have Bendigo as the first regional centre that has that real-time information. You will actually know where your bus is and how far away it is,” he said. “We are looking at the Mitchell Street area as the first location and some of the concerns, raised in the past, with the number of people waiting on the footpath in front of shops. “We have tried to maximise the space that we have available. This will also mean people will wait there for shorter periods or at the alternative end of Hargreaves Mall or the new park across the road.” Mr Martini said the Mitchell Street bus stop would be the first stage of the roll-out. “PTV is also looking at the routes and the timetable, so hopefully this will make it a better alternative

Silent majority may back Wellsford status I HAVE been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who have verbally endorsed my previous letter in regards to the Wellsford Forest retaining its existing status. There just may be a chance that there could be a silent majority out there who do agree with me. It was interesting that La Trobe university found 41 individual species in one of their quadrants despite the claims made by the Wellsford Forest alliance that this forest has been mismanaged over the past 100 years. If their claim was true, diversity would have been much lower in which case this healthy forest would have been less attractive as a National Park. They would be well aware that tress above a certain size and age would be retained in any falling operation and that only a few selected tress and certainly not all tress are felled during utilisation. The claim that some of the living red ironbark trees are 500 years old must be sceptically questioned. Scientifically the only real proof of age would be to fall a tree and count the growth rings. This will not happen but if it did it would prove this wild and erroneous claim to be false. The Wellsford Forest is a healthy forest because of past managementand those dedicated foresters who have made it the wonderful forest that we see today. Ken Morrison, Strathdale
Senator is not so flash BARNABY JOYCE‘S famous estimation of Nationals Senator for Victoria Bridget McKenzie has been demonstrated as well off the mark. Nine Christian leaders were arrested in her office in Bendigo after a peaceful protest attempting to get the senator to act in accordance with her stated principles. Senator McKenzie entered parliament to address matters of inequality, to change government policy after her own observation that the way to change things was to get senators to change their minds. Yet she refused even to meet with members of her own constituency preferring to remove and lock up the discussion. At the beginning of her political journey Senator McKenzie wanted to “hear the big ideas, to shake things up” and described the moment of political commitment to action as
“an a-ha moment”. She looked great on paper but somewhere “a-ha moment” has dried up, leaving a contempt for local people who truly want positive change. Senator McKenzie has described her own attitude to professional barriers “not one that I haven’t been able to jump over, go round or smash through,” and has encouraged community leadership as critical to the progress of regional cities and towns. That is why her action in allowing her constituents demonstrating true leadership to be marched away after refusing to meet with them when they were seeking their local senator’s support for end to children’s time in immigration detention is a betrayal of her political office. The Venerable Peter MacLeod-Miller Archdeacon of the Hume St Matthew’s Anglican Church Albury
The quiet revolution THE Melbourne centric media, Liberal, National and Labor parties all remain ignorant and oblivious to the quiet revolution happening in regional, rural and country Victoria. Fed up with the conceit, deceit and intransigence of the three major political parties and their arrogant attitude of “we know what you want and what is best for you”, the country electorate has turned away from the vacuous postulations of the discredited political parties. The Napthine Government’s 2014-15 budget states it plainly and insultingly in regard to the country electorate by only allocating four per cent of the total budget to regional, rural and country Victoria. The revolution is being led by communities advocating for the return of their passenger rail and freight rail services that were systematically removed by the conservative, insular and myopic beliefs of the Kennett government. The Liberal, National and Labor parties won’t admit to the lack of interest exhibited by the country electorates to their snake oil and vacuous policies. The vacuum created by the negligence and culpability of the three political parties provides fertile ground for a new political party to take the initiative to be established, to fill the void and truly represent the aspirations of the country electorate.

Crimes against humanity CONGRATULATIONS to the Christian leaders who peacefully protested in Senator Bridget McKenzie’s office last Tuesday, in a true display of genuine Christian morality and humanitarian conscience. Recently, Human Rights Watch Australian director Elaine Pearson said “invisible” people and their families are becoming casualties of government hard-line policies. Australian asylum seeker policies deliberately dehumanise and systematically demonise some of the most desperate and disadvantaged men, women and children on the planet. This means there is less public moral outrage about what is happening in our remote, fourth-worldstandard detention centres, because many Australians have been told that all asylum seekers, even babies in utero, are nefarious “unauthorised maritime arrivals”. Former Labor Immigration Minister Chris Evans once described the power over asylum seekers wielded by him as “playing God”. In 2008, he told a Senate Es-
timates Committee: “I think the Immigration and Citizenship Act is unlike any other Act I have seen in terms of the power given to the minister to make decisions about individual cases. I am uncomfortable with that, not just because of concern about playing God, but also because of the lack of transparency and accountability for these decisions and the lack of, in some cases, any appeal rights against those decisions”. Under current Immigration Minister Scott Morrison, an avowed Christian, such ominously prescient concerns have increasingly come to pass. Mr Morrison defiantly and desperately behaves as though any sign of compassion or adherence to Australia’s legal and humanitarian obligations towards asylum seekers as signatory to the Refugee Convention is a sign of weakness. Many people attempting to seek asylum by boat are fleeing countries in which Australian defence personnel have been deployed in conflict situations. This should obviously increase our responsibilities towards them. Recently, allegations of rampant adult and child sexual abuse and assault by guards at the Nauru detention centre have been reported. The Department of Immigration has launched an enquiry into whether the allegations have been fabricated by other staff and asylum seekers including children, rather
than whether or not children have been assaulted by those charged with their care or not. The excruciating inappropriateness of this enquiry is symptomatic of the deeply hostile ideology and aggressively punitive attitude of the Abbott Government towards vulnerable people who have committed no crime. It would appear that we are learning nothing from the appalling revelations of the ongoing Royal Commission into the abuse of children in institutional care. The cost to the Australian taxpayer for the nakedly political expedience of the torture of a total of 2227 men, women and children on Manus and Nauru islands has now topped $1 billion per year. These detention centres are shrouded in extreme secrecy, and rather than information, the Australian public are bombarded with ludicrous linguistic inventions such as “operation Sovereign Borders” and “on-water matters”. The cost to our international reputation, and to our collective national identity is immeasurable. The least we should all be doing is peacefully protesting at the offices of those members of parliament who uphold and defend this indefensible crime against humanity – Australia’s asylum seeker policies. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

editorial
They’re listening LAST week it was education, this week it is transport. Again, Bendigo is being blessed with two state political parties that are listening. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews yesterday announced, if elected, Labor will start the ball rolling on the plan to create Australia’s first regional suburban rail network in Bendigo. The Bendigo Weekly revealed the plan in June, and it was met with a lot of support. While it may be a few years off, connecting Bendigo, Eaglehawk, Kangaroo Flat and Epsom with a regular train service is a good idea. It is one worth exploring further, which is what Labor has committed to. It gives those who can’t afford to own or run cars extra independence. It gives everyone else in Bendigo another alternative when wanting to leave the car at home. A train service will also be a boost to school students, giving them an alternative to catching a crowded bus. Bendigo at the moment is not a congested city, but it will soon become one. With the second-highest amount of two-car households

in regional Victoria, it is no secret Bendigonians love to drive. And with more than 85 per cent of trips being made in a car, there is no evidence that will end soon. Changing people’s minds, behaviour and culture is a hard thing to do, and the Bendigo Metro Rail will go some way to helping make that happen. However, whether we like it or not, Bendigonians, and Australians, love to drive. Instead of ignoring that fact, authorities have to start to acknowledge it. Just as Liberal Bendigo East candidate Greg Bickley supports the idea of a suburban train service some time in the future, Labor’s Jacinta Allan also supports more and better roads for Bendigo. Labor has committed to the duplication of Napier St and White Hills, and Mr Bickley today criticised Greater Bendigo council’s Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy for not doing enough for cars and trucks. While supporting the expansion of public transport in the city, Mr Bickley called for more importance to be placed on road duplication and freight needs. He, also, is right. To ignore pushing for more roads based on a

port from voters at the time, but this was also a move that was never going to be forever. The ABC Fact Check unit agrees with the government’s calculation, noting also that for a family with a couple of cars will pay up to 80 cents a week to keep those cars on the road, although some industry groups put the increase much higher. But while the 40 cents a week may not be enough to justify the outrage that has arisen in recent days, perhaps the way in which the government sought to introduce the increase is. The government has sought to avoid the roadblock that is the senate and instead bring this unpopular increase down upon all motorists by detouring around the senate. In doing so, it has given itself 12 months to gain the support of the parliament, or else face the prospect of hav-
ing to refund the extra money raised by this latest price hike. We may also not like the fact that the return of indexation was not in the coalition toolkit that won it the 2013 federal election, but every single motorist has options available to them to combat the impact of the excise increase. Drive their car less and instead walk more and drive more conservatively and we should all easily save rather than pay more for our fuel. There may actually be a benefit to the environment and to our health in all this. And if we still don’t like it, when the time comes, voters get their chance to have the ultimate say as to whether or not they think fuel indexation is a good idea, when the next federal election comes around in a couple of years’ time. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigopublishing.com

The Napthine Liberals are building a better Bendigo so you have access to world class services close to home, including the new $630 million Bendigo Hospital.
Walk more to save on fuel AS far as price hikes go, this week’s announcement by the Abbott government that the fuel excise will increase by about 0.5 cents per litre of fuel effective November 10, is no big deal. The government says the rise will cost average Australian motorists about 40 cents a week, with a similar second increase proposed by June 30, all part of a policy to reintroduce twice-yearly indexation of the fuel excise unveiled in this year’s federal budget. Fuel taxes were introduced under Malcolm Fraser back in 1978, and were first indexed by Paul Keating in his very first budget back in 1983, as a way to raise a reasonably large amount of money from a very broad base without hitting too many taxpayers too hard. Indexation was subsequently culled by John Howard in 2001 in a move that undoubtedly won a lot of sup-

After five years of hard work a digital record of monumental headstone photographs and a burial list has been released on a DVD. Libby and Tom Luke, alongside Pat and Ian Belmont
have been busy photographing the monumental sections of the Bendigo Cemetery for the DVD over the past five years. “While this is one of many cemetery discs we have produced, it is definitely the one we are most proud of,” Mr Luke said.
The DVD contains 40,000 images and a list of 55,000 interments. Mr Luke said the DVD was important in documenting history. “The first burial on the cemetery register is Ellen Mowbray Murphy, buried on

February 1, 1858. Her headstone is now badly weathered which emphasises the importance of a digital record for all of the historic cemeteries,” he said. The project is available on both DVD disk and USB flash drive.

Vintage Blues Tram rolls again A host of top-notch acts will pair up to captivate patrons during this year’s unique and intimate gigs aboard the Blues Tram. Only in Bendigo can you take a leisurely ride on a fully restored 1929 charter tram, rolling past magnificent gold rush architecture while enjoying the finest contemporary blues artists. Four exclusive performances will be on offer this year, with limited tickets at just $35, so call now to secure your seats! In his inaugural Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival performance, join Canberra’s Owen Campbell, flanked by Tasmania’s finest export Pete Cornelius on Sunday 9 November aboard Bendigo’s 369 vintage tram. Campbell undoubtedly made his mark on mainstream Australia with his brute, no holds barred audition on Australia’s Got Talent in 2012. The 11 million+ hits on YouTube account for the sensation he stirred, but this is not what brings him acclaim nor won the hearts of a worldwide audience. He brings an enigmatic mix of blues, Celtic and country with a smack of rock all wrapped in a smoky delivery that can be truly felt by his audience. To describe him as an artist is a difficult task, he is a slide guitarist, songwriter, banjo playing busker to offer some sort of definition. “I’m just back from a massive USA tour, three months driving 8,000 miles, performing in LA, Nashville, NYC and everywhere in between.
HAILEY CALVERT
It’s great to be back home and I’m very excited to be part of this year’s festival,” Campbell said. “I’m looking forward to the Blues Tram, should be a rockin’ and rolling fun ride round town! Bring it on!”

Workshops
Bendigo Tennis Complex
Budding blues enthusiasts can learn from the best at a series of music workshops on Sunday, 9 November, at Rock Pride Music.
Tramways Depot
The workshops are a bargain at just $10 each, with music lovers of all ages encouraged to attend. First up at 11am is Peter Gavin with his popular blues harp beginners workshop. According to Pete, “blues harp is easy” and he’ll give you the seven simple steps to playing improvised blues. Even if you’ve never played music before you can learn to play these ‘cross harp’ techniques and you too can play the blues! Just bring along a blues harmonica (that’s a 10 hole diatonic harmonica) in the key of ‘C’. A limited number of harmonicas will also be available for purchase on the day. Next up, at 1pm, local legend Marc Leon will be passing on his top tips for electric guitarists.
Bendigo Woolen Mills
MARC LEON
Marc’s music career spans more than five decades so he’s got plenty of experience to pass on to the new guard. At 3pm, Dave Diprose will lead a slide guitar workshop. Dave will teach you to play the blues the old way, like you’d expect to hear on the plantations and juke joints of old Mississippi. All workshops are $10 and will be held at Rock Pride Music, 47 Mundy Street (behind the YMCA).

Stacks of Stacks Get your dancing shoes on, because the iconic music of Stax Records is set to be celebrated with a special performance at the Golden Vine on Friday night.
Stacks of Stax will bring together party-starters Dukesy and the Hazzards (in their only festival appearance), Australian blues legend Geoff Achison and sultry vocalist Liz Violi. This winning combination will be tearing their way through the top shelf back catalogue of Stax Records, whose roll call boasted the likes of Albert King, Booker T, Otis Redding, Elvis Presley and Wilson Pickett. The revue show will also include some interesting background on the featured artists and songwriters. Dukesy and the Hazzards vocalist Nick Brown said this was the first time the group had attempted such a tribute show. “Stax is such an icon of American music and preparing for this show has really given us a further understanding of

their heritage and the artists they promoted, recorded and featured,” Brown said. “The fact they had everything from blues to funk to doo wop to soul and so on gives us such a great range of music to choose from. “We know it’s going to be a great combination of tunes that everyone knows with some jamming and an authentic live feel.” Stax of Stacks will be taking over the Golden Vine Hotel on Friday 7 November, with a supporting set from Geoff Achison from 9pm.

What better way to celebrate than with a Little Tramp classic that harkens back to Bendigo’s golden heritage (never mind that it’s set in Alaska!) Follow the Little Tramp as he tries his luck on the goldfields, gets into trouble and falls in love. The Sounds of Silent are a five piece ensemble featuring some of Melbourne’s most versatile and accomplished musicians. They recreate the silent movie experience from the 1920s and 30s with improvised performances featuring fun, familiar and popular music in the style of the period.

ANIMAL and food lovers will unite at the Great Stupa’s annual Vegecareian Festival on Saturday. About 1500 visitors flocked to the festival last year with more than 40 vendors on show with fresh produce, activities and hand-craft wares. After last year’s success, organisers decided to make it an annual festival with this year’s theme, Love Food, Love Animals and Love Life. Home cooks will be be able to whip up a storm with tricks from Masterchef 2013 winner Emma Dean hosting a cooking demonstration. PepperGreen Farm will bring their green thumbs with a veggie gardening workshop while foodies will be able to taste samples of vegetarian and vegan food stalls. People will be able to listen to live music, visit animal welfare stalls, have their animals
blessed, salivate over Australia’s Best Veggie Burger competition or relax with a yoga session. Guest speakers will host a panel discussion on a variety of themes. Speakers will include a nutritionist, vet, animal rights activist, Buddhist monk and a long-distance bike rider. Pets are invited to come for a walk or have a rest at the on-site pet-minding service or doll-up for a free pet photography shoot. Face painting, colouring and crafts workshops, mascots and amusement will entertain the kids. The event runs from 10am to 4pm at the Great Stupa on November 1. All food and fresh produce for sale will be vegetarian and animal friendly. Tickets costs $10 for adults, $5 for children, $20 for a family and pets are free. More information: www.vegecareian.org.au

Can I cook the crook chook?
dear dotty...
Feathers are flying as the chickens go to roost
I
HAVE just got used to the idea of eggs every day, and now we’ve hit a problem. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall brought home four lace wing wyandottes a few months ago, and we have been feeding them until maturity on the promise of eggs in return. It took months, and then they started laying. First one a day, and then finally they were all laying and we had four eggs a day. Joy. We could be generous with the eggs, and house guests were able to taste the delights of a fresh-laid breakfast. Then, without warning one of the hens got a cold. Down to three eggs. She was not well enough to produce. We could handle this minor dent, but then disaster. One of the hens became broody. This is something I had not come across before, I have heard the term in humans, but now I was seeing it for real at its origins. She stayed on her nest all day, fiercely guarding from intruders.
The hen liked the warmth, the egg underneath and just wanted babies. Down to two. We took to the internet to find out more, and it’s quite a problem. There are various resources and it seems a common problem. Then last week another blow. Chicken three went broody too. Production is at an all-time low, with one egg a day if we’re lucky. Even then it has to be prised out. They are all off their laying and the egg box remains empty. Where we were eating
royally on eggs, now we’re rationing. The fix apparently is to make them uncomfortable, so now the two broody hens are in a wire cage without any straw to keep them warm. You have to do this to break the cycle. Cruel to be kind in the long run. So two are in a cage, one is strutting around solo, and the fourth one has a sore throat, and the worst bit is the poor supply of eggs, it’s no yoke. We’ve shelled out many dollars in special feed for the girls, and they’ve scrambled our chance of a proper breakfast.
Hen keeping is obviously not all it’s cracked up to be. I have made a plan though, I can’t have them getting the better of me. If all is not back to four eggs a day by Christmas they will be supplying our table in another way. Thanks goodness for the world wide web, I may just start looking up how to prepare a chicken for roasting. Not sure how I will go with the killing, plucking and stuffing side of things, so I hope they come good soon. But in the meantime, eggs are back on the shopping list. Twitter@stevekendall1
Dear Dotty, I am very disturbed about the closure of the Bendigo Early Learning Centre. I am working full time and have two children in their care. As it is I can only just pay the mortgage and keep us all fed. I am a single mother and don’t want to give up work. If I do that I won’t be able to keep up the mortgage payments. At the moment I can live in dignity and know that my income is going to keep a roof over our heads. I believe there are other creches out there but I have no idea if I will be able to secure a place, afford the cost or how far I will have to travel; nor do I want to take away my children from the stability of a place where they feel loved and secure. Right now I just feel scared. I feel like I am walking on a tightrope. What can I do? Maureen, Bendigo Dear Maureen, Didn’t you know your status? First you are a woman – strike one. Second you have children – strike two. Thirdly you are alone – strike three and you are out. I bet if you were a bloke poncing around in a suit with a fat wallet and a sanctimonious air of selfsatisfaction nobody would try to rip you off. And look at the councillors, I thought they were rea-
Illustration: “Wildey”
sonable people. Have they forgotten about how hard it is to juggle the work/child merry-go-round? And what about the longterm employees of the creche, the women who have stayed for years and developed relationships and true friendships with countless families because of the security the council has provided? The other irritating thing is that council says this is an economic decision and that it will save $100,000, a mere drop in the budget bucket. The cost of this saving is far too high, that of the safe harbour that the creche has offered so many Bendigo families over the years. I have a solution. I really do believe that the parents affected, some 110 families, should take all their children into the Greater Bendigo council offices and leave them there to be minded by the staff. Or maybe the art gallery, that’s better, they could play hide and seek around the marble statues of the Greek gods. I’m sure you will have everyone’s attention then. A bit of anarchy never hurt anyone. Twitter: @DearDotty

Into vegie overload
D
ON’T you love how the shops and markets are full of beautiful new spring vegetables? Lovely thin asparagus, we even tried white asparagus last week. I am also lying the little mini vegetables around at the moment, have you seen them – little baby cauliflowers that you can roast or steam whole. This week it felt like we had been living on event food, pasta or dining out far too much. There was a desperate need to up the quotient of vegies. So for our “meatless Monday” we
Savour the moment
went vegie overload. With three steamers on the go we steamed up asparagus, beans, snow peas, carrots and bok choy. Being a bit worried that might have been too much steamed I added to the platter some raw capsicum and fresh corn kernels. I then whipped up some satay sauce to make it a tad more interesting for the little eaters. So easy – tamarind and red curry paste fried off then add fresh peanut butter, palm sugar,
lime juice and a touch of fish sauce and a can of coconut milk. Just get it to a taste where you have that whole sweet/salty/sour thing happening. Served in a bowl alongside the platter of vegies, I can’t believe what a hit this was. We did have one person who played with the vegies creating faces on his plate but who cares when that much goodness ends up being eaten. Think we’ll be having this weekly in the busy lead up to Christmas.
SMASHING SALMON: At Percy and Percy.
T
HERE is no reason not to visit the Percy and Percy cafe on the corner of Hargreaves and Baxter streets, which is now open seven days a week. Step back in time where the menu and aromas are reminiscent of a less complicated and hurried era, where food and company are to be savoured rather than consumed. Enjoy an early or late breakfast or fresh coffee while catching up with friends or just plain relaxing. And while you’re there why
not treat yourself and try their immensely popular Smashing Salmon, featuring smoked salmon, rocket, herb and dukkah salad along with a poached egg and smashed avocado. Or perhaps marvel at the chef’s creativity with the Dr Suess
inspired Green Eggs and Ham, served on toasted Turkish bread. While you’re there see their new limited, but tempting grocery selection with a range of gourmet produce including jams, pasta cordials and French lemonade.

OCALS in Harley Street, Strathdale have never had it so good, since pastry cook Steven Gay turned on the ovens at Harley Street Bakery in early August. Freshly baked bread is now available six days a week from 6am along with a selection of cakes and slices. And no bakery would be complete without fresh Veneziano coffee and the day’s papers, making Harley Street Bakery an ideal venue to also meet friends to relax inside or out. “All my bread and slices are baked right here overnight by myself and my apprentice,” Steven, who has a lifetime of experience in the hospitality industry, said. “Our bread is really our forte though, especially our whole grain spelt bread which is available Fridays and the always popular pumpkin bread which is only available Saturdays.”

OR the first time, Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival has partnered with The Capital to bring the best of the fest to Bendigo’s heritage theatre. The Bendigo Bank Theatre on the ground floor at The Capital will host two fantastic shows as part of this year’s festival. On Saturday, November 8, electric duo Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson will be headlining a night of rollicking folk and blues not to be missed. Kicking things off at 7pm is Chewton’s own Hilary Blackshaw and the Afternoon Philosophers. Also performing ably in support will be 1930s bluesman Alawishus Jones and his band the Outright Lies, before Hat Fitz and Cara take to the stage at 9pm. The Capital manager David Lloyd said he was thrilled to be partnering with BB&RMF to bring a different type of music venue to this year’s festival. “Every year, BB&RMF brings thousands of people to Bendigo to enjoy the best in live music experiences, and we’ve always wanted to be a part of that,” Mr Lloyd said. “Theatre style seating will allow music lovers to
experience the acts in a unique setting that puts the spotlight firmly on the artists and their wonderful music.” The Capital will also be hosting six of the festival’s best female acts for a very special showcase on the Sunday of the festival. After the enormous popularity of last year’s event, 2014 sees the return of Ladies got the Blues. Sublime singer/ songwriters Marta Pacek, Eva McGowan and Hailey Calvert, will be joined by superbly talented musicians Marisa Quigley Duo, Alanna and Alicia Egan, and Jojo Smith. Tickets for both shows are available at The Capital box office and website. Music lovers can come in and out of the shows to catch their favourite acts, with pass outs available. BB&RMF director Colin Thompson said he was excited to widen the scope of this year’s festival through the new partnership. “We can’t wait to see what bigger opportunities this partnership will bring next year with the opening of the Ulumbarra Theatre.” Visit www.thecapital. com.au for tickets, or www. bendigobluesandroots.com. au for more information.

bookclub REVIEW
A notable Victorian I
WROTE some time ago about the visit of Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria’s son, to Bendigo (Sandhurst). Mention was made how the Prince inspected the Koch’s Pioneer Quartz Mining and Crushing Company plant. Just to recap, 20-year-old Heinrich Koch a German seaman, taking official leave, made his way to the Bendigo goldfield in 1852, he had been a crew member on the Euphrasia. Koch was one of Bendigo’s pioneer quartz reefers along with a number of other Germans who also became prominent in exploiting the reefs well before many others. Henry, as he became known had anglicised his name, after becoming naturalised, in 1858. Most of the claims and leases, in which Koch had an interest were in the Ironbark, Long Gully and California Gully area. A number of his interests were on the Garden Gully or Perseverance Reef. The enterprising Koch soon realised the lack of adequate crushing facilities for quartz was holding back many who were already mining into the reefs of this goldfield. Engineer R Charteris who had an early crushing battery, which was inaugurated in 1856, took Henry Koch in as a partner. Koch soon bought the other share of the crusher and then developed it to become what was claimed at the time the largest in the world. However, whoever documented that claim did not look very far, as the Catherine Reef United Claimholders battery at Eaglehawk was slightly larger than that of Koch’s. Koch was to develop his crushing works into an engineering showpiece, he planned well ahead installing machinery and equipment which could with little

effort be added to significantly. As an example the steam powered machinery worked most efficiently when there was a sufficiently large fly wheel, in Koch’s case it had a circumference of 18.3 metres. The fly wheel and the battery was the wonder of Long Gully, crushing for the public as well as his own mines. A constant cavalcade of horse drawn carts delivered the quartz to be crushed to the northern side of the battery. Tailings, from the crushed rock, were allowed to flow onto the low lying land on the southern side of the battery. These tailings began to choke the Long Gully Creek and there were often complaints from the public as well as the council, orders being made to stack these tailings properly.
The tailings heap extended down along Havilah Road and beyond, millions of tonnes having been deposited there. As the gangue was being crushed in the batteries so too were all the minerals which were released from the parent rock, the gold was recovered in the battery boxes and on the plate tables. With water the tailings next had to have the pyrites removed by two different means, one being an old wooden buddle the other a newer brick and cement one. These buddles worked a little like a puddling machine. Additionally there were wheeler pans, these were also circular in shape, table-like and mechanically rotated and through centrifugal force separated the pyretic minerals from the crushed rock which flowed along with water. It was the treatment of the pyrites to recover gold that caused Koch considerable amount of criticism from both the public and the health officer. Pyrites had to be roasted in order to help release the constituent minerals, it was the arsenic that caused so much angst. A worthwhile level of income was obtained from roasted pyrites for Bendigonians as well as from throughout the colony. Special reverberating furnaces had been built to roast the pyrites these being 9.1 by 1.67 metres in size, having a sloping floor of one in six, the return flue being under the floor thus conserving fire wood. The fumes then went up what was at that time Victoria’s tallest chimney at 44.2 metres high, helping to dissipate the arsenic and sulphur fumes higher up. This chimney had been built by a 17year-old local contractor of whom I will have more to say next week.
Cooper Bartholomew Is Dead Rebecca James Allen and Unwin $19.99
C
OOPER Bartholomew falls to his death from a cliff, and in the opening scene, he tells us from beyond the grave, “I never imagined I would die like this”. When Cooper’s girlfriend, Libby, is told that he committed suicide, she won’t accept this as the truth. She questions friends and family in her search for answers, even while they encourage her to put it behind her, because she knows as we do, that Cooper’s death was murder. The story is narrated by four characters, Cooper, Libby, Cooper’s best friend, Sebastian, and Cooper’s ex-girlfriend, Claire, in short punchy chapters titled Then, and Now, which jump back and forwards in time. For a writer of lesser skill, this chopping and changing might lead to confusion, but in the experienced hands of Rebecca James it gives the book momentum, moving the story along, drip feeding the reader with clues about secret relationships of jealousy, love, and resentment that gradually piece together the mysterious details that bring us to a suspenseful climax. For a book that deals with suicide, hard drugs
and alcohol abuse, it’s a surprisingly buoyant read. James’ style is fresh and easy, with blunt and honest characters that pull you into their gripping tale. A comparative book would be Donna Tartt’s, The Secret History, which parallels Cooper Bartholomew Is Dead . Both books follow the emotional dynamics of a group of university students unravelling the mysteries surrounding the murder of one of their friends, before and after the death that remains unexplained until the closing pages. Cooper Bartholomew Is Dead is Rebecca James’ third novel, and is in keeping with James’ talent for suspense and exploration of psychological dynamics in young adults. – Julie Proudfoot, Bendigo writer and author of The Neighbour.

I am such a handsome boy, very well behaved with good manners. I would benefit with some further training to make me the perfect companion. I may get on with another female dog who has the same energy and personality to me. I require plenty of room to run & play with secure fencing to keepp me safe.
FFemale, Fe malee Desexed Desexed, 1 yearr
I am such a pretty girl with my long fur. I need help keeping my coat lovely so I need an owner who can commit to grooming me regularly. I am also a sunsmart cat so would prefer to live indoors out of too much direct sunshine. I have a lovely nature and get along with most cats. I am already desexed and microchipped and awaiting my new forever home.

Roll on the derby By JOEL PETERSON
SENIOR SMILES: The club has brought home 22 trophies.
Top of the trophies THE Bendigo Calisthenics Club has enjoyed a stellar 2014, bringing home 22 trophies from competitions throughout the year. The club entered 25 competitions in 2014, involving junior competitors right up to the masters section. Of the 22 trophies, 13 were overall main aggregates, two of those being CVI state champs and nine reserve aggregates. The club’s competitors also achieved a great deal of individual success, with 63 first places, 37 second places and 21 third placings across the year. Club coaches Monique Chapman and Carol Lang, along with junior coaches Lucy Wade and Michelle Strauch, played a big part in the success according to club member Kait Norris. “This year the club has achieved some great results winning the Royal South Street Society seniors aggre-
gate in Division 6, the first time our club has achieved this,” she said. “The team consisted of 19 girls who proved that talent and hard work reaps its rewards in this very tough competition which was a great achievement. “The sub-juniors who were also competing for the first time at RSSS and managed to take home the reserve aggregate.” Norris said despite the accolades being something the club is very proud of, trophies are certainly not everything. “For our club it’s not all about trophies. They are a symbol of recognition and we are definitely very proud of all our girls, “ she said. “The most important thing for us is to continually nurture our youngest competitors right through to our masters to be confident, achieve through effort and to be proud and happy.”
CLOSE to 350 athletes and 75 officials will hit the Bendigo Exhibition Centre this weekend for the Bendigo Rebellion Roller Derby Tournament. The tournament is the biggest of its kind to ever be held in Victoria, with 16 teams from across Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales battling it out across Saturday and Sunday. Skate Victoria CEO Gloria Hawken said the organisation has been working with roller derby leagues in Victoria and Tasmania since the sport first started in Australia in 2007. “Back then there was only one roller derby club in Victoria, the Victorian Roller Derby League. Fast forward to 2014 and there are over 20 as well as 6 in Tasmania,” she said. “We are thrilled to be able to support such a large event, the first of its size in Victoria. “Bendigo just seemed like the right place to take this inaugural event to. “The facilities at the Bendigo Exhibition Centre suited our needs perfectly and with the help of the Greater Bendigo council and the local club, Dragon City Derby Dolls, we knew we couldn’t go wrong.” The 16 teams will play 23 games on two tracks over two days, with the finals starting at 2pm on Sunday, as well a
WHEEL ACTION: Amanda “Hugs McDonald, mayor Barry Lyons and Sarah “Sparkling Brute” Squire are ready for the tournament. men’s exhibition game. The competitors will be travelling from all over Victoria and Tasmania as well as Adelaide, Canberra and Queensland. Bendigo is home to the Dragon City Derby Dolls,
the city’s only roller derby league. Meanwhile, Greater Bendigo councillors also opened a new lawn shelter at the Quarry Hill Croquet Club this week. Council funded half of
the total cost of the new shelter through its community grants program. The shelter has been dedicated to the late Gladys Thompson, who was involved with the club for more than 40 years.
Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1
Fightback a winner for Emu Creek CENTURIES to Simon Marwood and Daniel Chamberlain capped off a dominant display with the bat for Emu Creek, who staged a remarkable fightback to easily beat Axe Creek in round two of the Emu Valley Cricket Association season. Heading into the day’s play at 3/8, the visitors fell to 4/26 as Chamberlain, the Emus’ captain, strode to the crease to join Shaun Cattanach. Together the pair added 158 before Cattanach was caught off the bowling of Jordan Knight for 68. That wicket brought Marwood (116 not out) to the crease, who along with Chamberlain (100), easily guided Emu Creek past its total of 212, before the side was eventually dismissed for 330. Greg Burns figured with 4/28 as he cleaned up the tail, while Greg LePoidevin
finished with 3/31 from his 15 overs – only two of the 11 players Axe Creek put into the bowling attack. At Ken Wust Oval, the ever-reliable Ken Bell and Garpreet Singh crafted a stand of 152 for the eighth wicket to rescue West Bendigo from serious trouble at 7/72 and claim victory over Marong. The Redbacks dug themselves a hole chasing Marong’s 120 after resuming the day’s play at 4/61 as Damian Cosgriff and Jeremy Ross struck early to claim three quick scalps. Under immense pressure, Bell (112 not out) and Singh (70) were able to steady the ship and saw the Redbacks cruise to a relatively comfortable three-wicket win and remain undefeated. Ross claimed 5/40 from his 20.1 overs, including seven maidens, while Cos-
griff and Duane Anderson each took two wickets to eventually dismiss the hosts for 251. Mandurang heads into this weekend’s clash with Spring Gully as the only other unbeaten side in the competition, after claiming a narrow win over Sedgwick. An even batting performance saw seven Rangas batsmen reach double figures, but it was a vital lastwicket partnership of 41 between Mark Roberts and James Pietromonaco that saw the visitors scrape across the line. Ben Rodda and Phil Berry both made centuries for Mandurang, while Matt Dwyer took 5/53 to take his wicket tally to 11 through two games. Golden Gully’s target of 277 proved too much for reigning premiers United to chase down at Ewing Park,
as Matt Kile led the Cobras to victory. Kile took 4/46 and received support through Shaun O’Shea and Seb Olle (two wickets apiece) as United were dismissed for 170 from 48.4 overs. Skipper Forbes Klemm top scored for United with 43 before being bowled by O’Shea, while Hartney made 32, but no other Tigers batsmen topped 15 runs. Finally, Spring Gully opened its 2014-15 account, making 231 to easily account for Maiden Gully. Half centuries to Andrew Renato (61 not out) and Tom Budge (53) guided the Crows to the win, while Jack Stagg claimed three quick wickets and finished with 3/13 from seven overs. Maiden Gully will look to get its first victory of the season when it takes on United this weekend.

Carlton to face Collingwood
W From Page 36
Carlton’s history in Bendigo runs deep, with Bendigo football league clubs producing plenty of players to have donned the navy blue over the city’s years as Carlton’s recruiting zone. Collingwood also has a strong supporter base in Bendigo, and its VFL side featured in the last game of the Bendigo Gold in August this year, also at the QEO. The AFL’s general manager of scheduling Simon Lethlean said the league looked to reward investment in facilities. “We are keen for every state and country league to aspire to get a game, and have councils and governments invest so that games can come,” he said. “We are not looking to
schedule at the same venues every year. We want to create some opportunities for other venues. “There’s some great examples of that with Bendigo getting a game, Shepparton, and Drummoyne Oval which is in inner Sydney.” Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons said the event was a huge coup for the city. “The QEO is Bendigo’s premier sporting oval and the City of Greater Bendigo has invested considerable funds over recent years, including a $2.2 million redevelopment of the playing surface in 2011, to make it one of the best regional grounds,” he said. “We are proud of the QEO and we are more than pleased to host this NAB Challenge match in 2015.”

Netball titles head to Bendigo gion and he was thrilled to welcome the titles. “This is an outstanding event to win and it speaks volumes about Bendigo’s growing reputation, ability and capacity to host important netball events,” he said. “We have great facilities and infrastructure and our central location makes Bendigo a very accessible event destination.”
THE Ken Keys-trained Bring Something won a blistering 2014 edition of the Jayco Bendigo Cup. The last-start Caulfield winner, ridden by Luke Nolen, was too good for the field of nine, with Massiyn runner-up for the second consecutive year. Gun hoop Kerrin McEvoy headed the field at the 1400m mark on pre-race favourite Order Of The Sun, opening a gap that stretched as wide as five lengths before the field made the turn into the home straight. As the Gai Waterhouse-trained stayer could not sustain the pace as they made the run for the post, Bring Something and Massiyn charged past and fought a remarkably close battle to the line.
In the end, Bring Something was simply too good and took a narrow win, its second in two starts. Order Of The Sun put in an impressive front-running performance and held on to fill the placings while Vlad Duric rode Ali Vital home for third. Keys said he believes the race, as it has done for so many other gallopers, will set Bring Something up to be even stronger in 12 months time. “It’s wonderful,” Keys said after the race. “I think now we can, with credibility, go to the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and I think we have got an exciting horse to look forward to next year.
Nolen said the horse impressed him in the ride, but still had plenty of improvement left. “This bloke is still working his craft out,” he said. “I had to sort of get moving when I did because he does take a bit of stoking up. “He appreciates a bit of room but he just hasn’t quite worked out his trade just yet. He is an exciting stayer going forward.” Earlier in the day, Bendigo trainer Shaun Dwyer recorded three placings with his first three runners. Wind Fleet was third in race two, with Never Give An Inch and Inkjet Sprinter running on for third in races five and six, respectively.

Nolen brings it home
Bendigo International tournament director Andy Reynolds said the Bendigo leg of the series was a refreshing break for players to be able to call Bendigo home for two weeks. “The quality of the playing list is exceptional. Strong showings from the top-ranked players in recent weeks means the standard of the tennis will be exceptional,” he said. “On top of this, the two highest ranked Australians in the field (305) Monique Adamczak and (418) Jessica Moore have both enjoyed victories over more fancied opponents just last week in Perth. The festival will also feature a Pro Tour junior tournamen and an Australian Money Tournament. “I would encourage all tennis fans in the Bendigo region to get down and watch fantastic tennis,” Mr Reynolds said.

THE Bendigo Tennis Association’s two-week flagship event, the Bendigo Festival Of Tennis, gets under way on Sunday with a strong field in the first of two International Pro Tour events. Running for a week from Sunday, the first of two Pro Tour tournaments will feature 14 of the world’s top-300 ranked players. Japan’s Eri Hozumi headlines the player list having won three doubles titles this year and one singles runnerup in recent times, and is ranked 164 in the world. Swede Rebecca Peterson also brings recent good form from Perth and Bulgaria, and will be keen to post a career high ranking in Bendigo. Japan’s Risa Ozaki and Thailand’s Noppawan Lertcheewakarn round out the top five players competing in week one.

BLOCKBUSTER
By JOEL PETERSON
ONE of Australian sport’s biggest rivalries will come to the Queen Elizabeth Oval next year, when Carlton and Collingwood clash in a pre-season game on Sunday, March 15, 2015. The match will be part of the NAB Challenge, the AFL’s annual pre-season tournament. The last time AFL football came to the QEO was on March 13, 2009, when North Melbourne defeated Essendon on a Friday night. It is slated to be a twilight fixture, getting underway at 4.40pm, and will be broadcast live on Fox Footy. In another boost for fans, members of both Carlton and Collingwood will receive free entry to the QEO clash. AFL Central Victoria general manager Paul Hamilton said the bid to host the clash had been a work in progress for quite a while, and that AFL CV was relishing the opportunity to have AFL back in Bendigo. “This has been something that has been at least 12 months in the works, but especially over the last six months ourselves along with council, have been working really hard to get this up,” he said. “A focus of ours was to start the local season with something special, and we think this is a great way to kick the local footy season off and lead into our junior and senior season. “We could not have asked for two better teams to host, and we are certainly very grateful for the AFL and the two clubs for wanting to come here.”
