BENDIGO’S incoming mayor wants to wrest control of the city’s finances away from its executive office. Fed up with increases in operating expenditure and staff benefits he says are too high, Greater Bendigo mayor-elect Peter Cox believes it is time things are changed. Under the Local Government

Act, councillors can only influence the chief executive officer on matters of operating expenditure and staff pay increases or promotions. Cr Cox is calling for a statewide review of the Act to change that. “We should have the power,” he said.
“The most important thing is for councillors to scrutinise expenditure and come up with rates rises and budgets that are in the best interest of the community. “At the moment all we can do now is to try to influence the CEO’s decisions on how many employees

rises, and councillors are hearing that,” he said. “Operating costs are increasing and it is now more than half of the council budget, yet councillors don’t have the power to influence that or make decisions.

The Weekly look at the local real estate market
Prices still on the rise DATA released by the Real Estate Institute of Victoria shows the median price for a four-bedroom home in regional Victoria was up 7.3 per cent to $412,000 in the year to September 30, compared with the year to June 30. The price for more affordable two-bedroom homes there rose by a remarkable 11.5 per cent to $254,250. In the Greater Bendigo area, the median price at September 30 for a four bedroom home in Strathdale was $472,000, in Maiden Gully it was $447,500 and in Strathfieldsaye it was $422,250. In Epsom, the price was $365,000, Eaglehawk $345,000 and Kangaroo Flat the median price for a four bedroom home was $380,000. The REIV says bedroom median information is a valuable tool for house hunters – both those looking for their own home and investors – because as well as indicating price levels and movements in a suburb, they provide a more detailed snapshot. Across regional Victoria, substantial price growth in many commuter towns has resulted from families moving from Mel-
bourne to find an affordable home. THE Reserve Bank has left interest rates unchanged for another month, with the likelihood of next to no change for some time. The bank says while volatility in some financial markets has picked up over the past couple of months, overall, financial conditions remain ‘very accommodative’. In a statement released on Tuesday, Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens said long-term interest rates and risk spreads remain very low. Markets still appear to be attaching a low probability to any rise in global interest rates or other adverse event over the period ahead. ‘’In the Board’s judgement, monetary policy is appropriately configured to foster sustainable growth in demand and inflation outcomes consistent with the target,’’ he said. On present indications, the most prudent course is likely to be a period of stability in interest rates. AGENTS handling the sale of one of Bendigo’s most historic assets are reporting strong in-

Travis Hurst of Colliers International and Robert Ketterer of Dungey, Carter Ketterer (DCK) were appointed by the Greater Bendigo council to conjunctionally sell this iconic, heritage CBD building. “We are about four weeks into the marketing campaign and we have received a pleasing level of enquiry,” Mr Hurst said. “There has been strong interest from buyers locally, across Melbourne and regional Victoria, and we have even had International interest.” Originally built in 1872 as a part of the ‘Beehive’ building complex, the property has played a significant role in the history of Bendigo and the nearby goldfields. Today, the building forms an intrinsic part of
the council’s CBD development plan and is vital to Bendigo’s CBD future entertainment and tourist precinct. The building has significant frontage to Pall Mall (Midland Highway) and pedestrian access through to Hargreaves Mall at the rear. It is zoned Commercial 1 under the Greater Bendigo council Planning Scheme. Mr Ketterer said the building had scope for development in many applications, including a mix of retail, office, accommodation, restaurant or inner city residential. “This building will appeal to developers experienced in heritage buildings,” he said. “The property will very much suit a ‘custodian’ who has the capability, capacity and experience to restore the building and apply their own touch, creating an investment for the 21st century.”

Pollies fall foul of RSL
By ANTHONY RADFORD
THE Bendigo RSL has declared war on both major political parties in what was an extraordinary week for the organisation. The RSL learnt early on this week it had been unsuccessful in gaining Centenary of ANZAC funding for its preferred projects. The RSL and Greater Bendigo council put in a combined bid for a series of projects, including a Field of Remembrance around the RSL Memorial Hall in Pall Mall. The field would have included a white cross planted in the Queen Victoria Gardens for every Bendigo World War I soldier. The RSL also wanted to mark the ANZAC centenary with a nightly ceremony which included the Last Post, the ode and laying of a wreath.
The RSL also believes its chances for state and federal funding for a refurbishment of the Soldiers; Memorial Hall in Pall Mall have also been rejected. Each electorate received $125,000 Centenary of ANZAC funding, which was allocated after recommendations from a local committee. The committee was auspiced by Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters and was made up of business leaders and media representatives, including from the ABC, the Bendigo Weekly and Bendigo Advertiser. Bendigo RSL president Cliff Richards said he was disappointed with the makeup of the committee. “We are absolutely not happy,” he said. “There was no consultation with the RSL or anyone who had any solid military background to
relate the historical significance of the applications. “The RSL projects did not even get to the Minister. They didn’t get out of Lisa Chesters’ office.” Bendigo RSL secretary Paul Penno claimed the organistion’s “promised” State Government
“The joint working party was delighted to be advised by the Victorian Minister of Veterans Affairs Damian Drum in a meeting convened by him on the July 31 that a commitment of funding by his government would be made available over the two budget periods
Those who served and died and those that survived and suffered deserve better funding for the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall refurbishment has also been withdrawn. “Much to our dismay not only have we been unsuccessful in our attempts to draw a funding commitment from these levels of government but have been confronted with misleading statements and broken promises,” he said.
of 2015 and 2016, he later went on local television news to advise that he supported the project and funding was imminent. “On Friday, October 31 the (Bendigo RSL) was advised by the Minister’s office that this commitment made by the Minister would not be fulfilled.” Mr Penno said the news came
War tram a moving memorial
WINNING WAYS: Bendigo Tramways has received ANZAC funding to restore a tram. Jacinta Allan, Jos Duivenvoorden, Maree Edwards, Cliff Richards and Lisa Chesters were on hand for the announcement. A 1914 tram will be refurbished under the latest Centenary of ANZAC funding announcements. Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters officially announced the successful projects yesterday. Bendigo Tramways has been awarded about $50,000 to refurbish a 1914 tram that was in service during World War I. The tram carried many enlisting men and women. The Eaglehawk Heritage Society is also believed to have been successful with
a project highlighting the service of 900 local World War One personnel on story boards. A local artist will also receive $15,000 for a painting that will hang in the Bendigo RSL. The RSL sponsored that application, as individuals were not allowed to apply for funds. Bendigo Health also won a grant to restore photos of local nurses who worked at the hospital before signing up for the war. Ms Chesters said the tram project was exciting.
“In 1914, trams were one of the main modes of transport around Bendigo,” she said. “This project will bring back to life one of these much-loved icons. “It will also create employment for the Bendigo Tramways Workshop.” Ms Chesters also congratulated Bendigo Health on receiving a $8,383 grant for its project. She said the project was an extremely worthy recipient. “I commend the hard
work of Bendigo Health, in particular Angela Gallagher who researched, prepared and submitted the application on behalf of Bendigo Health. “Their effort has ensured the photographic display will provide a lasting recognition of the personal sacrifices made by men and women from our region.” Two other projects in Kyneton and Castlemaine have also received funding. Two other projects, in Woodend and Maldon, have already had their funding announced.
on the back of a “hollow” promise from the previous Labor federal government Centenary of ANZAC funding would go towards the refurbishment.” “When (Bendigo RSL) followed up with the current Federal Government we were advised that this federal funding announced by the previous Labor government never existed. “We are now on the cusp of both a state a state election and the Centenary of ANZAC, neither of the major political parties have matched their goodwill with a commitment to funding. “To date only hollow gestures, broken promises and misleading statements. “This magnificent War Memorial Monument to those who served and died and those that survived and suffered deserve better.”
Funding furore draws response BENDIGO political leaders have responded to the RSL claims. Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum said there seemed to be a misunderstanding, or a miscommunication about the project. “I was given a briefing on their concept for the ongoing development of the Soldier’s Hall as a centrepiece for the RSL in our region and an important addition to the city,” he said. “I thought their plans were exciting and offered them encouragement in moving the project forward, but it was not my intention to commit then and there, even verbally, to the considerable funding the project will require. “This is a $3 to $5 million project. It has already attracted $230,000 for the planning stages and I will continue to work with the RSL to move this plan forward, but there is still much to be done. “I look forward to seeing the eventual detailed application for funding. “I think we can get all stakeholders working to-
gether to give it the best possible chance of success.” Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters also said she was looking forward to seeing the project happen. “The ANZAC Centenary programs and associated funding were established by the previous Labor Government,” she said. “Delivery of these programs, including the allocation of funding, is being overseen by the Abbott Liberal Government. “I believe the upgrade of the Soldiers’ Memorial Institute in Pall Mall is a brilliant project and I am optimistic that it will be successful.” Ms Chesters said the council/RSL Centenary of ANZAC application was “a little bit cheeky”. “They applied for $126,000 of the $125,000 allocated to the Bendigo electorate,” she said. “The Bendigo electorate extends from Macedon to Elmore. “I believe the electorate committee got the balance right.”

STATE ELECTION 2014 Scouts in line for upgrade THE State Government will invest $30,000 in the 1st Eaglehawk Scout Hall if re-elected at the November 29 election. Liberal candidate for Bendigo East Greg Bickley and Member for Northern Victoria Amanda Millar will announce the funding today. Scouts would be able to refurbish and refresh their outdated kitchen facilities. The Liberals gave the 1st Eaglehawk Scouts $15,000 to refurbish their main hall which was opened earlier this year. Funding was given from the Scouts and Guides Facilities Grants Program. “This funding for a kitchen refurbishment will go a long way in ensuring that the 1st Eaglehawk Scouts Group have the ability to fully utilise the rest of the redeveloped facilities made possible by the Napthine Government,” Mr Bickley said. “For generations, the scouting movement has been helping young people bring out their best.” Mr Bickley said his own Cubs experience gave him insight into the importance of scouting organisations. “The values and principles that are taught through Scouts and Guides are more important today than ever before,” he said. “The scouting movement helps foster a sense of community and civic duty that should be supported and promoted.”
GAME PLAN: Labor MPs Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards join in the fun at Spring Gully kindergarten.
Kinder windfall
BY STEVE KENDALL
SEVEN Bendigo kindergartens will be in the money post-election with nearly $400,000 allocated for improvements. Labor MPs Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards hopped back in the sandpit with some preschoolers on Wednesday to announce the city-wide boost. Mrs Edwards said the
funding put the emphasis on activities. “Kinder needs to be fun, and we are focusing on outdoor areas.” Ms Allan said if Labor was elected at the November 29 poll they would support the youngest learners. “Labor will support young families and their children as they begin the most important years of their lives,” she said.
The Bendigo funding, including $80,000 at Spring Gully Kindergarten, is part of a $50 million plan across the state the build and upgrade kinders. Bendigo kinders to benefit are at White Hills, Huntly, Axedale, Havilah Road, North Bendigo and Kennington. Spring Gully improvements include a new watering system and a sustainable playspace.

STATE ELECTION 2014
Labor’s animal instinct By CHRISTINE MCGINN
A NEW agricultural hub will be built at Bendigo TAFE’s Charleston Road campus if Labor wins this month’s state election. Labor has promised to build stage one of Bendigo TAFE’s proposed Department of Environment and Animal Studies. The $7.8 million plan will enable Bendigo TAFE to expand its courses to include animal studies, agriculture, horticulture, land management and conservation courses. Animal yarding, greenhouses and new teaching space would be included in the centre. Opposition Leader Daniel
Andrews said the centre would be the birthplace of rural jobs. “The Liberal Party has smashed TAFE and it’s holding back a whole generation of kids, particularly country kids from
ger and better training facility to train the next generation of workers in the agriculture, food and fibre sector,” he said. “It’s exactly what Bendigo and Central Victoria needs.”
The Liberal Party has smashed TAFE and it’s holding back a whole generation of kids the skills they need for the jobs they want,” Mr Andrews said. Mr Andrews said TAFE cuts had wounded the sector and Labor would rebuild the skills shortage. “We want to provide a big-
Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan said it would aid the “jobs crisis”. “We’ll save Bendigo TAFE, and we’ll train the next generation of farmers, horticulturalists
and animal health workers right here in the heartland of Australian agriculture,” Ms Allan said. “To help the agricultural sector to secure their future we have to have to make sure they have the supply of skilled workers. “We have to give students access to agricultural training closer to where they live. It’s about giving local people a pathway into local jobs which is great for the community and agriculture.” Labor’s jobs plan, released last month, showed food and technology as one of six highgrowth industries. The government defended its TAFE record. “The Napthine Government
Call for regular services MEMBER for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan been quick to highlight the lack of patronage at the newlybuilt Epsom train station. Ms Allan said the Howard Street station runs an infrequent service with limited users commuting from the station. “We want to make sure we are putting the regular, reliable train services in that we know the local community will use. What we have here at Epsom train station is like a pub without no beer,” she said. “We have a train station with no services. We know the community want more services and when they have them, they will use them.” Ms Allan said Kangaroo Flat train station suffered the same fate until regular services were added. “We want to make the carpark full and be a place where people do catch the train to and from work. But you will only be able to achieve that under Labor’s Bendigo Metro Rail with more services for the local community. “The patronage here is next to nothing. There is not a single car parked at the station and locals in the area tell me there is hardly anyone using this service. That is a waste of money and services.
is investing $1.2 billion funding each year in Victoria’s training system, a 50 per cent increase from Labor’s last budget in 2010,” a Napthine Coalition spokesperson said. “Labor’s $7.8 million announcement pales in comparison to the Coalition’s investment of more than $60 million in the newly formed Bendigo Kangan Institute. “The Coalition have worked hard to fix the mess left behind by Labor’s under-funded and botched reforms.” Labor is yet to undertake planning, design and construction with the centre’s open date also yet to be confirmed.
Liberals slam Metro THE State Government has slammed Labor’s promised plans for rail to be rolled out across Bendigo. Labor announced plans for Australia’s first regional suburban rail network, Bendigo Metro Rail, last week. But Transport Minister Terry Mulder said the $2 million promise for a taskforce to uncover the demand, timetbaling needs, marketing and fleet options was flawed.
The $2 million promised ... will not buy any new trains “The $2 million promised by Labor will not buy any new trains, won’t build any new tracks, won’t construct any new stations and importantly won’t run any additional trains,” he said. Mr Mulder said the State Government had increased the network and the amount of trains for commuters. “A metro railway has trains departing every few minutes, but Labor has not said how often he would run local trains in Bendigo,” he said. “North Bendigo Junction where the lines diverge to Eaglehawk and Epsom has to be attended for all train movements.” Mr Mulder said Labor was promising a “totally uncosted” plan.

and infrastructure is already there, the track, the stations are there,” she said. “We know we can access the rolling stock. What we have to do is put the stock into the system. “The taskforce will be able to turn that job around very quickly so we have trains running here in 2016.” The taskforce will help determining the patronage needs with
timetabling, fleet and marketing details yet to be finalised. But the State Government is uncertain Labor will be able deliver this promise by 2016. With the November 29 election looming, Ms Allan said Labor would continue its campaign especially with promising polls. – Christine McGinn

INSPIRED FUTURE: Leah Powell is impressed with the new fee guarantee. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN By CHRISTINE mcGINN
MATURE-AGED regional Victorians are being encouraged to pick up the books under a La Trobe University initiative. The new program Inspired Futures, encourages people over 21, to up-skill and study undergraduate degrees. Vice-Chancellor John Dewar said the initiative aimed to get locals back into study, capping fees for the first 500 students. “We want them to study at university because the benefits of a university education are significant,” he said. Pegged on the back of the successful school-leavers program ASPIRE, which also capped fees, the university saw a need to support students.
“We attach a huge importance to this group of regional mature-aged students. We think it is incredibly important that they think about coming to university. We thought the way to do that was to offer them a similar fee guarantee,” Prof Dewar said. “We will do everything we can for these students to make this transition as easy as we can and rewarding as possible.” Under the fee guarantee, students would not pay more than 10 per cent above the regulated fee in any year of study, have access to a mentor student and career counselling. “We know that the cost of study is a huge factor and right now mature age students just don’t know the impact
potential university deregulation will have on fees in 2016 when changes could take effect,” Prof Dewar said. “To cover the costs in a deregulated environment, the government is proposing to withdraw from our subsidy, we would actually need to increase our fees by about 25 to 35 per cent. “We can’t make it for everybody but for the first 500 students.” About 25 per cent of people aged 25 to 39 in Bendigo have university degrees compared to their Melbourne peers at 40 per cent. Health Science and Occupational Therapy Practice student Leah Powell said the fee guarantee was a significant financial support.
“The fee guarantee is such an important thing, especially for mature-aged students who have responsibilities to manage workloads and home life,” she said. “With fee deregulation it could be potentially really challenging for students who do have financial responsibilities and put study off as an option. This guarantee helps them to consider study as an option and develop their career.” People aged 21 or over, who have lived in a regional centre for at least a year are eligible to apply. But they must study at a La Trobe campus. Students must apply by December 5 and can find out more at www.latrobe.edu.au/ inspired-futures

We are only passing on the costs to our ratepayers
ALL CHANGE: Mayor-elect Peter Cox believes councillors should control council spending.
Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 7, 2014
Cox plans cash change W From Page 1 “I have been saying for six years you can’t really afford wage rises in excess of what we had this year, which was more than $5 million. “It is not affordable. We are only passing on the costs to our ratepayers and they are seeing huge increases in electricity, gas and water, as well as large rates increases. “This is something I will pursue in the next 12 months.” With polls pointing to a Labor Party win at the November 29 state election, council may be forced to make changes. Labor has promised to legislate to keep rates rises at the same level as the Consumer Price Index. The CPI for the September quarter was 2.2 per cent.
Put up against a planned six per cent rates rise, that could see an immediate cut of more than $3m from Greater Bendigo council’s budget. Cr Cox said he didn’t think such a cut was too harsh. “I think we can do things smarter,” he said. Current mayor Barry Lyons said he was worried about forced CPI rates rises. “The mind boggles,” he said. “Ballarat council worked out you need four to five per cent to continue growth. “We can’t run the place on the CPI the Opposition wants. “If you don’t, you go backwards and you either have to start cutting more services or have a massive increase later to catch up, and that has happened before.”

Riding the boom
New Summer Fashions NOW ARRIVING
By CHRISTINE McGINN
Up to 13 multi-storey residential and commercial buildings are planned to rise in Bendigo’s CBD. Developers are embracing the city’s residential boom with proposed plans, lodged plans and enquiries on the cards. Local developer Scott Jackman has two four-storey multi-million dollar developments currently under way. The Bendigo Weekly revealed plans in January for the multi-use development on Mollison and Mitchell streets. Seven apartments, three businesses and two offices will be housed in the development. Mr Jackman’s $12 million Wills Street development, opposite Target, is set to soar four storeys. The development would include underground car parking, commercial and retail levels and two levels of apartments. Developer Ron Poyser is framing Bendigo’s entrance with a $6.5m development on High St. The Weekly revealed plans in September for the four-storey commercial and residential development on the former Poyser Motors site. The development will house 14-serviced apartments across levels two and three and penthouses on the top floor. Greater Bendigo council Strategy manager Trevor Budge said an enquiry about another High St site had been made and plans were being developed for a development near the council chambers. Mr Budge said four inquiries had been made for future development in Bridge St as part of the overall strategy. “Half of the developments, plans or inquires, have emerged in the past six months which is pretty encouraging,” he said. An out-of-town developer has proposed plans for another site on a main street in the CBD. Plans are expected to be lodged for an “innovative” three-storey development between King and Queen streets. Bendigo’s first nightclub The Webb, on Queen and Williamson streets is under residential development. Local builders Walsh and O’Meara are converting the space into 15 apartments with a central lift and a commercial ground floor space. Another four-storey building will rise at 200 Hargreaves St. The $1.8m development will house two and three bedroom apartments. Mr Budge said the amount of development was a reflection of the city’s growth. “Most are local developers using

So it’s not a lot.” Mr Budge said the city expected a wide range of people to move into the CBD, especially as public trans-
port improved. “Bendigo has about 60 to 70 alfresco dining places in the city centre with other attractions such as the Ulumbarra Theatre,” he said. “But the majority of homes will be built on the fringe but within the urban growth bounds.” Mr Budge also said 47 per cent of jobs in Bendigo were in, or around, the CBD, making it an ideal place to live.

Tree fan treat
Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 7, 2014
TREE climbing on a different scale takes place on Saturday. This is not just a gentle clamber to the tree house, this is part of the Victorian Tree Industry Organisation’s tree climbing championships. Up to and including 2013, Victorian tree climbers have gone on to win 27 of the 31 Australian men’s and women’s titles held since 1998. The Bendigo Botanic Gardens is playing host to the event where the best tree climbers in Victoria will compete across a range of five disciplines across four categories. The highest ranked competitors receive nominations for the Australian Tree Climbing Championships to be held in Melbourne in December. The winner of that event goes onto the World Tree Climbing Championships, hosted by the International Society of Arboriculture. There will be a range of trade displays for anyone interested in arboricultural equipment. Many of the trade displays will include equipment that will be of interest to farm operators and light industrial contractors. Outdoor power equipment, commercial machinery, nursery sales, training and finance companies will be on hand to answer product queries. It all kicks off at 8am, and entry is free.

SHOP ‘til you drop, dance like no one is watching or celebrate great local produce this Saturday. Bendigo’s city centre will play host to a range of great community events including the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival, Bendigo Community Farmers Market, Uniquely Bendigo – Meet the Makers, Trove Market, Food Fossickers and the Hargreaves Mall Makers Market. Greater Bendigo council’s Karen Cresswell is encoraging residents to gather with friends and family and chart a course around the CBD. “Don’t miss out on any of the action and the opportunity to support local traders along the way,” she said. The Bendigo Community Farmers Market runs from 9am to 1pm in Sidney Myer Place and is shaping up to be a big one, with the Food Fossickers’ BBQ Madness cooking up a storm on the lawn alongside the market. The market offers a huge variety of fresh, local and seasonal goods from producers who are passionate about what they do. Meet the Makers runs from 9am to 5pm at the Bendigo Visitor Information Centre, Pall Mall. The Visitor Information

The Trove Makers’ Market runs from 11am to 4pm at the Bendigo Town Hall. In its eighth month, the market will feature more than 50 stall holders selling a variety of goods including paintings, jewellery, photography, furniture, cloth-
ing and décor. The market is usually held on the third Sunday of every month but has embraced the opportunity to host an exclusive indoor market alongside the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival. Some of Bendigo’s best restaurants are heading to the Bendigo Community Farmers Market to present BBQ Madness, an official Good Food Month event. Unique and interesting
dishes including barbecued seafood, McIvor Farm Foods organic farmed pork, regional barbecue meats and more will be teamed with local and market produce. Dishes will cost between $6 and $10 each. The Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival offers four days of action with more than 100 acts at venues around the city until Sunday. To see the full program visit www.bendigobluesandroots.com.au
The operation started on Friday and ran until the end of Melbourne Cup. More than 2300 preliminary breath tests were conducted with 212 offenders caught over the weekend. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the numbers were concerning. “Speeding and drink and drug driving contribute to the majority of the deaths on our roads and we know disqualified and suspended drivers are more likely to engage in risky behaviour,” he said.

Add activity to your life YOU are never too old to join in the fun at The Bendigo Life Activities Club. And they want you. The club is on the hunt for new recruits eager to get out and make new friends. The over 55-year-old club, gathers for monthly meetings with activities running each week for the young at heart. “It’s company and we get out to do activities and have fun,” founding member and president Shirley Herbert said.
“People shouldn’t be bored in Bendigo. “We offer friendship, have lots of activities and there is something every week.” About 35 members are actively involved in the club, meeting for dinners, book clubs, cryptic crosswords, play reading, theatre and even bus trips. The club opened in 1996 with a flock of members, slowly dwindling over the years. With a zest for having fun, members rave about making friend-
ships, travelling and even the regular companionship. “You make friendships, talk to people and have fun,” member Bev said. Annual membership costs $25 with most activities at low-cost. When experience counts, the Bendigo Life Activities Club has it all. “Don’t sit on your backside and watch a fly crawling up the wall,” Mrs Herbert said. To join the club, call Mrs Herbert on 5442 3879.

Bendigo Volunteer Resource Centre manager Helen Yorston said the event at the Bendigo library was to mark the work in supporting volunteers through their leadership, dedication and effort to make a
difference to the world. “Education through Celebration was the theme for the day. Leaders of volunteers are kind and caring people with passion,” she said. “They develop new programs which include recruiting, educating and training volunteer staff.” Guest speakers for the morning included Volunteer-
ing Victoria’s Sue Noble, Make a Change Australia’s Karen Corr and Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters. “Behind this army of volunteers lies an equally dedicated group of individuals who are responsible for the coordination, support, training, administration and recruitment of the world’s volunteers,” Mrs Yorston said.

Focus on animation BENDIGO will be brought to life this month hosting an international animation festival. The Australian International Animation Festival travels across the country, showcasing the magic of colour and imagination. Local film maker and animator Paul Fletcher and Greater Bendigo council will host the free festival with screenings across the next two weekends. Council Arts and Culture coordinator Maree Tonkin said they were excited to embrace such creativity. “The local arts scene is thriv-
ing and niche arts events such as this festival provide a unique opportunity to engage with creativity and art created by film makers and animators from across the globe,” she said. Children and adults will be kept entertained with live contemporary experimental music, short films and animations for all ages. The program kicks off at the Bendigo library tomorrow with a children’s animation program running from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Children will be absorbed

be to encourage and accept the idea that riding doesn’t have to be about going fast or going far. Going fast or going far is inconvenient, takes a lot of preparation and is just plain hard work. Wheeling out a simple, cheap treadly to ride five kilometres is quick, easy, relaxing and doesn’t even raise a sweat. Another step would be to provide more bike lanes and more bike parking. How will we pay for it? In the same way we pay for all other road construction. A mere 0.5 per cent of the road budget spent on bike transport would make a huge difference and would pay off with better health, less pollution and enable a lot more trips for the dollar than road construction. We’ll know bicycles are an important part of the transport mix when people stop talking about them. So next time you need to go on a short errand, don’t get changed. Just slap on a helmet, roll out the old bike and amble off at a leisurely pace. It might catch on.

WHEN I started riding for transport and for holidays, I wore jeans and elasticsided boots. Noone I knew owned anything made of lycra. I don’t think they even knew what it was. When did we get the idea riding was something special? When was the last time you put on special driving clothes? Do you have a corner of your wardrobe for “catching the bus” clothes? When ordinary people wear ordinary clothes and use a bicycle for the ordinary tasks of daily living – and it’s no big deal – we’ll know that bicycles have become part of life. And when they have become part of life, they will be part of everyone’s life, as unremarkable as driving a car or catching the bus. Bicycles have been used as daily transport for more than a century. European royalty, tinkers, tailors, soldiers and even Australian cabinet ministers have used bicycles for transport. So what creates this impression that bicycles are (or ought to be) special? Is it the fancy clothes, the fancy bikes, the publicity about racing, a few resentful people trying to stir up trouble about bicycles being on the road? It’s a bit of that and more. How do we get ordinary people to ride to school, shops, work or friends’ homes on bikes equipped with chain-guards, lights, mudguards and carrier racks? Maybe one small step would

Labor’s war on TAFE Daniel Andrews and Labor continued their bizarre war against Bendigo Kangan Institute of TAFE this week. Andrews, accompanied by Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards spent Melbourne Cup day at a goat farm announcing Labor’s latest TAFE thought-bubble. But it came as a complete surprise to our TAFE when it heard from local media that apparently Labor is promising to fund a greenhouse and a goat shed on its Charleston Road campus. No one at Bendigo’s TAFE expects much from Labor, especially since Labor’s former Minister for Skills in the Brumby government, Jacinta Allan, introduced Labor’s TAFE crippling “contestability” policy and hiked student fees from $1500 to $7500 a year. But you’d have expected Ms Allan or Ms Edwards to have at least asked our TAFE if it wanted a greenhouse and goat shed before writing their release. Labor’s new-found interest in our TAFE is especially peculiar given Ms Allan and Ms Edwards have spent countless hours trying to tear down the $100 million merger between Bendigo TAFE and the Kangan Institute. Ms Allan went so far as to beg the Greater Bendigo council to join her fight to stop the Napthine Government investing $64 million in our TAFE’s new Centre of Excellence for Health and Human Services too. It’s clear from the words and actions of Labor’s local MPs that they can’t be trusted with our TAFE. Peter Wiseman, Mandurang
Liberal candidate is out of touch The Liberal candidate
for Bendigo East, Greg Bickley stated in the story “Don’t ignore roads”, Bendigo Weekly, October 31 that “freight hubs have been spoken about for many years and they are a waste of time and money.” This comment reveals how out of touch Greg Bickley is with transport trends and innovation. In New South Wales they are rolling out freight hubs to reduce the amount of trucks on the roads and put more freight on rail. The Freight Rail Alliance made up of 23 councils is advocating and lobbying to have freight rail hubs constructed to specifically move freight from road transport to freight rail. Between 1996 and 1998 the abysmal Jeff Kennett government moved 6.3 million tonnes of intra state rail freight from the efficiency of rail to the inefficiency of road transport. The level of freight on trucks has grown exponentially. The result of Mr Kennett’s decision is our road infrastructure crumbling under the overweight B Doubles driving on roads that were not engineered to carry them. Grain Corp catalogued 40,000 truck movements for the 201314 harvest and have plans to shift more of their grain transport back onto rail. In South Australia, after an audit of safety for trucks, 6000 were deemed to be unroadworthy with major faults. The margins of profitability are being eroded by costs in the trucking industry with the result of cost cutting on repairs, maintenance and hours driven by drivers. The South Australian and Cootes truck disasters are blatant evidence of the deep seated problems of the road transport industry carrying freight. We should be asking
Greg Bickley whose interests is he going to represent if he wins the election – the aspirations of the people of East Bendigo or the insular interests of his family’s truck transport company? Scott Ramsay, Strathdale
No to metro The planned metro railway for Bendigo is a waste of rate payers’ money and time. Not only are they expensive to operate but we do not have the population to make it work. The $2million to create a taskforce in a feasibility study is also a big waste of money. This $2M would be better spent towards to improving the bus system with more stops, larger coverage, closer time tables and more buses even if it needs to be partially subsidised. This council should be looking at ways to reduce council rates because all increases and increases with utilities outweigh any increases we ever get in wage increases. No to a metro railway for Bendigo. Garry Numan, Bendigo

this bendigo life Changing the things that matter By Bruce Phillips
I’ve read some of the draft ITLUS document and wish to submit a response which deals with the psyche of our residents. Without a clear understanding of what influences the travel habits of the average resident, we cannot hope to bring about change. I believe that travel habits, for the vast majority of our residents, are determined by the following parameters: • Cost/affordability • Convenience • Security • Comfort • Environmental factors • Health and fitness concerns I have ranked these parameters, in my, estimated assessment of overall importance. Our city has not been planned to be compact, or to minimise the reliance on private/personal transport. In fact residential planning has
pandered to the flexibility of the motor car usage , and freedom of transport choice, and as a consequence, has built an expectation of reliance on private transport. To change these expectations, attitudes, and behavior may take a long time maybe a generation or two. It is associated with a salami sausage, by the yard it is very hard, but by the inch it’s a cinch. We need to be methodical and resolute in changing the things that matter. Of course, the City can only directly impact on some aspects (parameters) and advocate on others. Some levers available to council are: • Reemphasise the development of high density residential
accommodation in and about community and transport nodes through planning decisions; • Hike the cost of, and extent, the Council supplied, paid parking; • Advocate strongly for the separation of work and school starting and finishing times. This may create more road trips but will flatten the morning and evening peak traffic volumes. Maybe Bendigo can be a litmus test of the initiative and can be applied universally. The spinoff is that the need the road improvements and maintenance is deferred. • Council may need to choose where to apply its influence to concentrate its efforts where it is more likely to have success in attracting government grants and satisfying residents needs which may lead to a different attitude and behaviour to their transport usage. • Any revenue accrued from council initiatives, in terms of fees, should be streamed towards assisting government transport programs. I have learned that if council is able to match government grants, it reduces the apparent cost/ benefit ratio and council is more likely to succeed in achieving what is best for our community.

editorial
Holding the key ALMOST every councillor who has represented Greater Bendigo since amalgamation tells the same story. They complain about having any little real influence on the finances of the organisation. While they are happy to decide what large capital works programs to fund, they struggle with not having any in-
put into the operational budget or staff numbers of the council. When all costs are passed onto locals in terms of rates, fees and charges, the frustration is perhaps warranted. It’s not something that is peculiar to Bendigo, and it has nothing to do with the way current chief executive officer Craig Niemann runs the organisation.

The current campaign to keep rates rises low has again shone the light on the very little councillors can do to do just that. They feel they have a right, on behalf of ratepayers to have more of a say, and they could be right. On the other hand, do we want a group of people who could have very little business or fi-
nance experience having a greater influence over a $170 million budget? Given the controversies that surround some council, and councillors, there could be an argument for wanting to keep the keys to the safe away from them. There is clearly an argument for a review into whether or not this is a good idea, in Bendigo and across the state.

Building a better Bendigo The election on November 29 is about choice, trust and good decisions. It’s about who the people of Bendigo can trust to manage taxpayer’s money wisely so we have the financial firepower to provide the facilities, services and support that individuals and families need and deserve. It’s about who has the judgment to make good decisions that enable people to start and build a career; move around their community easily and safely; where they have access to good health services and education. It’s about who has the best plan for Victoria. Four years ago the Coalition said it would start fixing the financial mess we inherited after 11 years of Labor so we could then get on with the job of building a sustainable future for Victoria. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. Through strong financial management we’ve repaired the budget and put Victoria in the strongest financial position of any state in Australia. A strong economy built on sound financial management means we can create more jobs, improve
services and provide the facilities to help Bendigo families get ahead.
CRACKED WALLS ? SUNKEN FLOORS ?
It’s about who has the judgment to make good decisions Because of the Coalition’s sound economic management, projects like the new Bendigo Hospital, the Regional Rail Link, a new train station in Epsom and new VLine trains and carriages, are becoming a reality. It also means that we can now implement the biggest modernisation plan in Victoria’s history. It also means that we can help ease cost of living pressures on Bendigo families. Our plan stands in stark contrast to Labor’s Daniel Andrews, who makes big promises but won’t tell how he will pay for them. Labor simply cannot manage money. Their record in government
proves that. They gave us the Desal plant debacle that is still costing Victorian taxpayers $1.8 million a day... every day. They left us the Myki mess, the bungled lottery auctions, the north-south pipeline, the worst health crisis in the last decade and they let schools and services run down across the state. Daniel Andrews is inextricably linked to the unions and the CFMEU. That means dodgy deals, weak compromises and more uncertainty for Victorian familes. If Mr Andrews won’t even stand up to the unions how can he be relied upon to stand up for Victoria’s interests?
Now Mr Andrews wants to tear up government contracts, which will destroy jobs, business investment and confidence. Only the Coalition can be trusted to keep Victoria’s finances in order, to have the money to pay for services that Victorians need and deserve, deliver safer communities, attract investment, create jobs and provide opportunities for Victorians to live satisfying and fulfilling lives. Only the Coalition will build a better Victoria, a better Bendigo and secure the future for you and your family. The Hon. Denis Napthine, Premier of Victoria

Bowled over by my haste The grand hall has claimed its first victim
dear dotty... Dear Dotty, Someone has drawn moustaches on the political posters of Mr Bickley, please can you make them stop it. Mrs B Hello Mrs B, I am afraid it just goes with the territory. They force their faces on us and some people feel the need to decorate them in some way. I am sure Mr Bickley won’t be too upset by a moustache, it could be so much worse. In my day I have been known to draw all sorts of things on these posters, and good fun it was too.

HEN I designed my new house I included a grand hall that runs the length of the building. It was supposed to make a statement, and I believe it does. Maybe my design pencil stretched a bit far, and I ended up with a beautiful two-metre by 20m beauty. Now I have to admit it was slightly bigger than I imagined it, but it does look good, and the breeze is a joy on warm days. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall and I went for wood floors, New South Wales spotted gum as it turns out, and they have a beautiful shine to them too. We have yet to furnish it, yep it’s that big, but finding the right items is becoming a bit tricky, just can’t turn up the right look. Anyway, that will come in time. It’s the kind of hall where visitors feel the need to throw off their shoes and slide along in their socks. Last month I had a guest stay for the weekend and she ran up and down between the kitchen and her room. It’s a bit echoey, and some-

times when I am busy making tea for Mrs K, she yells from the other end of the house and all is lost in reverberations. She feels she has told me, so I get into all sorts of trouble for not doing as I have been told. If I serve up the morning tea for Mrs K and have forgotten the milk, it’s a big long traipse up to the kitchen. So you get the idea, long hall, shiny floor. Well on Tuesday I had a day off, not for the Melbourne Cup, just a leave day. I made a lot of mess around
the paddocks and all over myself so luxuriated in a long hot shower before bed. Thought I would have a shave but the razor was in the bathroom. I walked up the hall, leaving a dripping trail of water, found the razor and as it was getting a bit chilly sped up. Now, wet feet, wet floor, too hasty. As I turned a corner my grip on the floor separated and I just went down like the proverbial sack of potatoes. With an inelegant thump the inertia pulled me along the wet floor like a bowling ball
until I came to a stop wrapped around the door jamb. I am getting quite used to falling over as it seems to happen quite a bit, but I still let out a wail until Mrs K got out of bed. I have mentioned before she is not the kindest of nurses, and as a case in point she told me to get up and stop making a noise. Feeling sore and sorry for myself I retired with only a bruised toe marking my haste. Maybe it’s time for some rugs. Twitter@stevekendall1

the right arm pouring all of that champagne down their necks. Then there is the “carry home your mate” section. Believe me, a passed out pal can be quite a weight when they’re full of grog and bad manners. The toughest trick of all is keeping the hair out of the vomit. This is usually performed either in the ladies or at a roadside. I have some goldmedal attempts at this particular phase of the sport, usually ending in failure. Of course I speak of this as an observer. I am the picture of good behaviour when I am trackside. Twitter@DearDotty

Recycling the way of the future
T
HE Bendigo community is reaping the rewards from the recycling process at Endeavour Foundation’s recycling plant at 35 Piper Lane, Bendigo East. In a win for everyone, nearly 17,000 tonnes of material, that would ordinarily find its way into landfill, is sorted, baled and readied for recycling. Thirty-two staff, including 22 with a disability, are receiving and sorting 65 tonnes of material daily. “We pride ourselves on hand sorting the material, which creates employment for our workers,” Endeavour Foundation’s Bendigo business service manager Dean Smith said. That task is made easier when householders make sure that only recyclable material is put in their yellow or
blue top recycle bins. “Many household items are recyclable including cardboard, paper, steel and aluminium cans, glass bottles, their lids and plastic containers.” “The list of non-recyclable items includes food waste, plastic bags, nappies, mirrors, ceramics, clothes, shoes, broken glass and garden clippings.” “Keeping this in mind when you are putting out your recycling, it not only makes the job easier for our employees but also helps promote sustainability and protect the environment.” For more information about recycling visit: www. bendigo.vic.gov.au/Services/Rubbish_and_ Recycling

A new life for old gas bottles
E
AGLEHAWK Recycle Shop is calling on residents to recycle their old and unwanted gas bottles and keep them out of landfill. Recycle Shop manager, Peter Buck says that disposing of gas bottles incorrectly can be a safety risk. Gas bottles, which are stored incorrectly, illegally dumped or disposed of in kerbside bins can be dangerous. Staff at the Eco Centre, however are trained in the proper recycling process for gas bottles. “Recycling the gas bottles keeps them out of landfill, keeps everyone safe and creates jobs in the process,” Peter said. “It’s the responsible thing to do. A recently launched video coinciding with National Recycling Week tells the story of how gas bottles are recycled by following the life of a gas bottle through to being recycled.
Gas bottles recycled at the Eaglehawk Eco Centre are decanted of gas, before being sold for scrap or turned into functional reusable items such as shed heaters, pet bowls or musical instruments. The video can be viewed online at www. feo.net.au The Eaglehawk Recycle Shop as part of Future Employment Opportunities is a not-for-profit organisation which has been operating for more than 20 years. The Eaglehawk Recycle Shop is well known for its recycling and recovery facilities while creating employment for more than 15 full-time staff, while diverting in excess of 8000 tonnes of waste from landfill annually. Proof that when everyone recycles correctly the whole community benefits. For more information contact Eaglehawk Recycle Shop, phone 5446 3467 or call into 189 Upper California Gully Road, Eaglehawk.

Precious metals still in demand
stablished in 2008, ALBD Waste Services has been sorting thousands of tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for recycling, to help benefit the environment. Morris and his staff are kept busy with up to 100 tonnes of metal sorted weekly before packaging and transporting to Melbourne before national and international distribution. Metal recycling has always been practised
Know your recycling process
A
RE you doing the right thing with your recycling? Every fortnight the Greater Bendigo council collects recycling from more than 46,000 properties and in the last financial year more than 10,400 tonne of recycling was collected from these homes. While most items these days are recyclable in some way, that doesn’t mean that everything can be placed into your kerb-side recycling bin. In fact many people who think they are doing the right thing are actually doing the wrong thing by placing the wrong types of recyclables in their recycling bin. Products that should definitely not be placed into your kerb-side recycling bin are recyclables bundled up in plastic bags, clothing and shoes, green waste, syringes and polystyrene packaging or food trays.
These types of items contaminate the recycling stream at the Materials Recycling Facility in East Bendigo. The MRF is a modern processing plant, where kerbside recycling is processed and separated for recycling. When the wrong items are placed in the kerb-side recycling bin staff have to manually remove these items so as not to contaminate the final product. So remember on recycling night, no recyclables in plastic bags, no textiles or clothing, no green waste, no polystyrene packaging or food trays and no syringes. For more information on what to recycle in your kerbside recycle bin go the council’s web page www.bendigo.vic. gov.au/Residents_and_Services/Rubbish_ and_Recycling/Your_guide_to_residential_ recycling_and_waste_services Or contact the council’s customer service on 5434 6000.

NO GREEN WASTE
long before the environmental and financial benefits of metal recycling became apparent. And while international spot-prices for scrap metals have declined significantly since their peak, there is still cash to be had for unwanted metals. Be it for industry, trade or household ALBD is open Monday to Friday offering you a competitive price on all your scrap metals. Even if you can’t bring your scrap in personally ALBD can arrange for a hopper on-site from two to 12 cubic metres for your business. A weighbridge at their premises means you won’t be short changed either. Utilising ALBD’s services ensures the financial benefits of your recycling effort stay in the Bendigo region as well. “I’m the only scrap-metal dealer in Bendigo that is employing local people and locally owned,” Morris said, while telling the Weekly the importance of supporting local businesses in the region. “We see everything and anything,” Morris added when asked about the most unusual item he had come across as a scrap metal merchant. “If you wait long enough it will turn up.” From early 2015 ALBD will be moving to a larger yard in Pipers Lane, opposite the RSPCA due to an ever increasing demand for ALBD’s environmentally friendly services. To speak to Morris and his staff about your unwanted metal waste, including electrical cabling, copper, cast iron and old batteries, phone 5442 6470. Or drop into their premises at 3 Wellsford Drive, East Bendigo, just behind Strickland Road.
Scrap and recycles steel and non ferrous metals. Industry bins of various sizes delivered to you! Come by and see Morris and unload your old scrap.
So remember on recycling night: • NO RECYCLABLES IN PLASTIC BAGS (recycling must go in loose)

WHC Deague – like father like son A
n energetic 17-yearold contractor had the privilege of building Victoria’s tallest chimney in the first half of 1872. Henry Koch, and his Koch’s Pioneer Company had commissioned this very young man. So pleased was Mr Koch with the chimney, that young William Henry Charles Deague, the contractor, received two cheques, one for the contract, the second as a bonus of appreciation. The chimney as mentioned last week was for helping to draw away the poisonous and deleterious fumes from the pyrites roasting process. Henry Koch had established a reputation for his ability in dealing with refractory ores and having built furnaces which were well known at the time in the eastern colonies of our continent. William Deague was born in Liverpool, England in 1855, he went on to reach the noble age of 87 years, passing away in 1938 and lies buried at the East St Kilda Cemetery. William’s father shared the same name and, before bringing his family to the colony of Victoria, was a building
contractor in Liverpool. The Deague family lived in Barkly Place; in that area a number of our pioneering families were residing, some of whom were already household names. In September 1860, J H Abbott, already a leading citizen, was to marry Ann Deague, the fourth daughter of William Deague senior.
William Henry Charles Deague, the contractor, received two cheques, one for the contract, the second as a bonus of appreciation. The building industry can vacillate in the volume of available work, for this reason from time to time different contractors ran into financial difficulties. William Deague senior had not been immune to the ups and downs in his industry, having been insolvent, but acquired a discharge certificate in September 1862.

HIGH LIFE: Chimney building was a recognised skill.
William senior was a man of drive, he also at one stage operated a quarry here in Bendigo, stone being extensively used in building foundations. On the top of the stone foundations brickwork would rise and this was also where son William Henry Deague gained his building experience. William Deague senior was building a brick chimney in 1857 on a base of stone with the necking in the same material, this was for the Ironbark Company. The chimney was 26.5 metres high, included in the contract
was the bricking in of the company’s boiler that had a length of 10.3 metres. As a sign of how the company regarded their new Melbourne made machinery, all was enclosed in a brick building, which for mining buildings was almost unique at that time. The whole of these substantial building works had been designed by architect William Smith. William Deague senior, along with contractor Mr Cowper, was responsible for the footings for St Paul’s church in Myers Street.
They advertised for suitable labourers and other workmen to excavate the deep trenches required for a high building – 382.28 cubic metres had to be removed from the site. The trenches were to accommodate the blue stone foundation blocks which had been quarried at Malmsbury. William Deague senior died on Wednesday, September 20, 1865 aged 65 years. At this stage William Henry Deague was still only just over 10 years of age, soon he was to follow in his late father’s footsteps becoming a building contractor.
hat does a life model think about while posing for many hours in front of budding Rembrandts? For Castlemaine’s Val Case, much of the time has been spent transporting herself into the pages of her first novel, The Undertaker’s Wife. Set during and after World War II in the Ballarat and Beaufort districts, Val has subtly merged painstaking historical research with a heartwarming story of love, separation, loyalty and misfortunes. The main character, 17-year-old Grace Miller, has led a sheltered life while convalescing from scarlet fever. Attending a funeral with her family in a small country town, her life is changed when she meets Jack Shaw, the undertaker’s son. The story weaves its way through the tumultuous events of the times, interspersed with evocative details of everyday life.
Grace finds she has to not only deal with Jack going off to war, but with the realities of his troubled family life, and a devastating blow within her own family. Val’s gentle style of writing brings her characters to life within the poignant descriptions of country Victoria in the era. Born in 1937, Val Case has worked in nursing and social work as far afield as America and England. Her novel is available from Stoneman’s Book Room, 101 Mostyn Street, Castlemaine. Ph: 5470 5134.

I am a gentle giant who loves life. I think you will find it easy enough to train me so long as I have consistency. I am a dog who loves to play. I enjoy playing ball so make sure you have lots of time to spend with me.
FFemale, Fe malee 7 months
If you’re after a stunning-looking girl, I may be just what you’re looking for. I’m a sweet girl with gorgeous markings, a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you I’ll give you a lifetime of love and cuddles. I need help keeping my coat lovely so I need an owner who can commit to grooming me regularly.

ProTour a big hit By JOEL PETERSON

Top class tennis action continues A STRONG field of 32 top female tennis players took to the courts at the Bendigo Bank Tennis Complex for this week’s William Loud Bendigo International ProTour #1 Tournament. Main draw action started on Tuesday, with four matches being
played, before a further 12 were held on Wednesday. Croatian Ema Mikulcic was the only seeded player to go down in an opening round match, the seventh seed defeated by Japan’s Miyabe Inoue 6-3, 7-6. Third seed Risa Osaki had to fight all the way for
her first round victory over China’s Yan Wang, ultimately prevailing 7-5, 6-4. Wang’s groundstrokes kept her in the game, but after fighting back from a 1-3 deficit in the second set, Ozaki stormed home to break the Wang serve and progress to a second round matchup against
Australian Kimberley Birrell. Third-round matches get under way today, with the women’s singles final to be held on Sunday. Admission to the Bendigo Bank Tennis Complex is free throughout the duration of the Bendigo Festival Of Tennis.
THEY have been recognised by Tennis Australia for their excellence, and once again the back-to-back William Loud International ProTour tournaments in Bendigo are proving to be a smash hit with players. Bendigo is regularly a favourite destination for the tour’s players, with the majority enjoying spending time in the city for the two-week-long Bendigo Festival of Tennis. As an important lead-up event to the Australian summer, those playing on home soil can use it as a springboard to what is their busiest few months of the year over the summer. It also provides a lot of players based in Asia the opportunity to chase the US$50,000 in prizemoney, and this year features players from as far afield as Sweden and France. Australian Jessica Moore said this week that she, along with most players, always enjoys her time in Bendigo. “I think this is probably my third time coming to play here in Bendigo,” the West Australian said at the draw for the first of the consecutive
tournaments, on Monday. “This week is pretty cool, I am staying in accommodation with a couple of other girls which is just walking distance to the club which makes life pretty easy. “The people are great, there are a lot of volunteers and it is one of those tournaments where you don’t have to worry about things, everything is kind of at hand, so we are pretty lucky as players.” The Bendigo Tennis Association has been nominated for an Australian tennis award for its delivery of the Festival of Tennis, and has won awards for the Bendigo International events in the past. “Bendigo Tennis has been nominated for tournament of the year, which is recognition of how good this event is,” tournament director Andrew Reynolds said. “The players know it is an enjoyable, fun atmosphere, it always seems to be great weather and the hospitality is fantastic. Everyone from the drivers to the caterers, the accommodation, you just can’t beat it. We are really lucky to have a regional area in Victoria to be putting on this kind, and standard, of event.”

Double trouble
BENDIGO: Bernie Harrower.
IT is a trip that has long been referred to around the Women’s National Basketball League as the Doomsday Double, the west-bound road trip to Perth and Adelaide. Having made the journey quite a bit over the years, Bendigo Spirit coach Bernie Harrower knows exactly how tough getting two wins this weekend will be. The Spirit take on a markedly-improved West Coast on Friday night, before the second leg against Adelaide on Sunday. The road double comes off a massive win against Dandenong last Thursday, meaning the side has enjoyed an eight-day break after playing three games in the six days prior. “It was good to have that weekend off, training has been good this week and I think the girls are enthusiastic about the task at hand this week,” Harrower said.
“I was happy with our offence against Dandenong, it really shows where we are as a team offensively. I thought defensively we were poor in the first half, but were able to turn that around after half time.” One of the standout performers in the clash with Dandenong was reserve guard Heather Oliver, whose energy was infectious. Oliver played 18 minutes and recorded nine points on three-of-four shooting, four rebounds and three assists, in what was one of her best performances since returning to the Spirit last season. “Her one per centers and her energy is really exciting, I think if we can get the whole group to play the way Ollie does, then we will be really tough to beat,” Harrower said, in praise of the 27-year-old. “A lot of those girls off the bench such as Ollie, Maddie
Garrick, Tessa Lavey to name a few, have all shown a marked improvement.” Bendigo will need that improved depth in the west on Friday night, facing a West Coast team that belted the Spirit in the pre-season tournament. There is little doubt that Bendigo has improved thereafter, but with a game against Adelaide – coached by former Spirit assistant Jeremi Moule – Harrower may have to lean on his bench somewhat more than usual. “Every year we go to Perth, no matter where they are on the ladder, we struggle to win and their depth is maybe the best it has ever been,” he said. “Adelaide are in that same boat, they are always great at home. “Jeremi is a good coach, he knows our system and scouts really well, so there is no doubt they will be ready for us.”
Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1
Rangas on top MANDURANG has wrapped up first innings points against Spring Gully after a day for the bowlers to open round three of Emu Valley Cricket Association play. The Rangas will target outright victory on day two after skittling the Crows for 104 from just 23.4 overs. Ryan Pedrotti (31) and Alex Sutton (20) were the only batsmen to offer resistance against the four bowlers deployed by the Rangas. All four got among the wickets, Michael Healy and Cain Ladiges both claimed three, while James Pietromonaco and Phil Berry took two apiece. Mandurang sealed first innings points with the bat, going to stumps at 8/208 from 48 overs at the crease, with Ben Rodda (78), and Berry (40) top scoring. The only evenlypoised contest heading into day two is between Emu Creek and the resilient West Bendigo, who are set to fight out what should be a cracking battle at JG Edwards Oval. Shane Hamilton batted well for his 87 not out and opener Brad Rowe contributed 68 as Emu Creek won the toss and elected to bat, mak-
ing 9/236 from 75 overs. Redbacks captain Dion Prange bowled over a third of the overs for West Bendigo, with figured of 3/85 from his 26 overs, while Dale Warren also took three wickets. Six wickets from Brenton Dillon put United in the box seat at Maiden Gully Rec Reserve, as the Tigers knocked over Gully for 108 before going to stumps at 2/59. Dillon was dominant from his 9.5 overs with figures of 6/34, while Kevin Archbold took the scalps of Gully openers Anthony Gorrie (23) and David Becker (10) on his way to figures of 2/35. When Rob Brown (30) was caught by Joe Hartney off the bowling of Dillon, the hosts were comfortable at 3/88, before collapsing and losing their last seven wickets for only 20 runs. Opener Josh White (34) and Josh Filo (0) will resume the run chase for United on Saturday, with only 49 runs needed for first innings points. Marong’s winless start to the season looks destined to continue as Sedgwick dominated with the ball to dismiss the Panthers for 138 at Marong Links Oval. Panthers skipper Tom

Huf (45), Andrew Gladstone (33) and Adam Brown (17) were the only batsmen to make double figures as Matt Dwyer (4/24) and Jordan Ilsley (3/23) cleaned up with the ball. Dwyer then proceeded to smash a half century in Sedwick’s 20 overs at the crease before stumps, leading the Rams to 1/75 alongside the similarly unbeaten Dustin Elliott (16).

son, going to stumps at 0/76 in reply to Axe Creek’s 158. Cowboys’ opener Joel Bish started well with 62 as the visitors were sent in, but only Greg Burns (16) and Graham Gamble (43) providing any kind of support in Axe Creek’s 52.5 over stint at the crease. Travis Nolan cleaned up with five wickets for Golden Gully, who has Josh Hutchinson and Josh Rogerson both finished the day unbeaten on 37 after 15 overs with the bat.

Legends of triathlon TWO greats of cross-trathlon, Ben Allen and Jacqui Slack, will ply their trade in Bendigo in December, when the Australian championships are held at Crusoe Reservoir. The pair has been named ambassadors for In2Adventure who announced the renowned duo would be racing at the titles, held on December 13 and 14. Allen is the reigning Australian national champion and Slack the champion of Great Britain, with both athletes finishing top 10 at the recent world championships in Maui. Event director Robyn Lazenby said having Allen and Slack on board was a huge boost for the event.
“Ben and Jacqui are two highlyaccomplished athletes, however, it is what comes along with that, which truly inspired us to pursue a partnership with them,” she said. “But most importantly they share the vision and values to which we aspire.” The cross-triathlon legends will be running free clinics in the lead up to the event, for junior and senior athletes. Allen said the work In2Adventure does was a big reason for the partnership. “Jacqui and I love their dedication and the hard work they have shown so far” More information can be found at www.tre-x.com.au.
