A LIFE WELL LIVED

By PETER KENNEDY

A THANKSGIVING service to honour the outstanding life of one of Bendigo’s most respected leaders will be held in the Bendigo Town Hall on Monday from 2pm. Daryl McClure passed away on the weekend, aged 68.

■

The former councillor, mayor, state politician and proud community advocate will also be remembered as a person whose integrity, honour and belief were the trademarks of his public life, but Mr McClure will also be remembered as a deeply private and caring family man.

Mr McClure’s death brings an end to an extraordinary life and career that included a life-long commitment to preserving and restoring some of Bendigo’s most significant and historic assets. Mr McClure was a Bendigo City councillor from 1969 to 1970 and from 1993 to 1994. He was a Great-

Group lobbies for 50-metre pool – Page 3

■

er Bendigo City councillor from 1996 to 2004 and served as mayor from 1999 to 2000. He was also the Liberal member for the state seat of Bendigo from 1973 to 1982. His passion for Bendigo, and for wanting to make Bendigo a better place to live and work saw him dedicate more than half a century

of service to committees and boards of many local organisations and community groups, as well as being a central figure in the salvation and revival of local icons including the Bendigo Tramways, the Central Deborah Gold Mine, the Shamrock Hotel and the Capital Theatre.

SECRETS OF SELLING Have you ever gone to view a house for sale and fallen for it, even before you see the whole home? That’s not uncommon and illustrates the importance of first impressions. That’s why, when preparing to sell a home, it is crucial to spend time, effort and, if the budget allows, money on making the exterior as attractive and inviting as possible. It is known as kerb appeal and it is even more vital than spending time and effort improving and styling the interior for sale. After all, no one is going to appreciate your fabulous interior if they don’t go in the front door. Take a tip from sales and buyer’s agents, and walk down the street to where those looking to buy your home would park. Take a cold hard look at your house, from the front and the back. Imagine you have spotted this house online and are checking it out be-

IMMACULATE: 37 Hopetoun Street. fore contacting the agent – or not. Also do this at night, as many buyers will, with the outside lighting turned on. What looks good and what doesn’t? List the items needing work: fence repairs and/or painting, gate, path, garden, window frames, paintwork, brickwork, front door? Work out which you can feasibly improve with your available budget and time. If you’re unsure ask your agent, the expert on what will add value to your home and what may be overcapitalising or unnecessary effort. The aim: a picture perfect exterior, with arriving buyers saying, “this looks nice”. Think hanging baskets and flower boxes, neatly trimmed hedges, weeded gardens and a show of seasonal flowers. Add instant colour before the photographs are taken. Remember most buyers will form their initial judgement based on the online photographs. If your house does not match up to others in the area,

they will not view it. Take down net curtains so your home looks welcoming and buyers can see inside. Leave blinds or curtains open at dusk and consider some low-cost solar outdoor lighting. Have paths and tiles jet cleaned. Rendering or re-cladding can give an ugly facade an instant lift, and a coat of paint does wonders for weatherboards. Remember to hide the rubbish and recycling bins. And don’t forget the letterbox – a new one or a coat of paint can add to the fresh look of your home. As with the interior, buyers must be able to envisage themselves living here. So don’t make it too personal – lose some of the brightly coloured garden ornaments, for example – nor too cluttered. Many busy buyers favour low maintenance. Secrets of Selling by Craig Webster, chairman of the Bendigo division of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria.

A gathering of culture

By CHRISTINE McGINN

A NEW $14.7 million cultural hub could rise in Bendigo, to reflect the Bendigo District Aboriginal Cooperative’s organisational structure. Inspired by the work of two local indigenous artists, Georgina Riseley and Trina Maloney, the proposed Prouses Road building would have a central meeting place with smaller gathering spaces. Amended proposed plans at the City of Greater Bendigo council, aim to build the hub to meet the needs of the local community. Under stage one, the children and family services, health and wellbeing and administration buildings would be built with preliminary works undertaken for the central community centre. A community centre would be built in stage two and stage three would see the construction of the

childcare centre and completion of the overall project. “The paintings also show different totems, such as fish and birds and the serpent. The serpent is a river serpent, representing the River Murray, an important totem for the community of Robinvale... but in other stories the serpent can represent the epidemics that swept through the Dja Dja Wurrung during the early years of European colonisation,” the application said. “Reflecting the paintings described, the main operational units of BDAC, have been housed in individual ‘pods’ representing the smaller meeting places shown in the paintings which... are arranged around a central ‘gathering place’ and cultural ‘hub’. They are interconnected by walkways through native gardens. “The site at Prouses Road is big enough to accommodate the needs

of BDAC now and into the future. It presents a much needed opportunity to create a purpose built facility and environment from which to run their healthcare services and programs.

“It offers them the chance to make a significant statement about who they are and who the people they support and take of are, a cultural statement, a place for health and wellbeing but also a place for

gathering and creation, in a real way, engendering pride in Aboriginality.” The three-stage development is expected to be started in July with stage on of the project to be completed by 2017. The federal government’s Department of Health and Ageing has given $5.7m towards the project with BDAC contributing some funds and seeking additional funds from other grant programs. The purpose-built facility would be open to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and include 107 car spaces. After putting the original plan to council in 2012, BDAC had plans approved for a development at the site last year. Recent changes to the plans have seen the need for council to again consider the development. Council is yet to approve the amended plans.

Anzac service to be marked WHITE crosses will be laid in Bendigo’s Field of Remembrance to honour local Diggers who fought in World War One. Bendigo men and women will be remembered for their service and sacrifice in a tribute to be planted in Pall Mall on Anzac Eve. More than 200 crosses bearing the names of local people who answered the call, will form Bendigo’s Field of Remembrance next to the RSL Hall. The first 93 men to enlist will be

remembered among those who served in World War I. City of Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox said the act poignantly set the scene for respectful remembrance on Anzac Day of those who had served. “The Field of Remembrance will involve descendants of our original Anzacs and people from across our community today in a very special ceremony – men, women and youngsters from local groups just like the diggers

of 100 years ago,” Cr Cox said. “This will form a very public expression of our city’s gratitude to those who served in World War I and later conflicts.” The ceremony will be held on April 24 at 6.30pm with locals invited to carry one of the 210 crosses to be planted. Forms (to apply to carry the crosses) are available from council, Bendigo RSL Museum or the RSL Club.

A COMMUNITY lobby group has lashed out at the City of Greater Bendigo council for considering “compromised” aquatic centre plans. The Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise (KFCE) has unanimously rejected an alternative plan to build a 25 metre pool, instead of the proposed 50m pool in the Greater Bendigo Aquatic Leisure and Wellness Centre. KFCE president Jack Lyons said up to six councillors were ready to support the second 25m option. “Remarkably, that plan will still cost ratepayers $13 million, exactly the same as the 50m plan,” he said. “Why would anyone support a plan that is half the result, for the same cost? “I understand operating costs for a 25m pool will be about $90,000 a year lower, but those savings are nothing when compared to the inevitable need in a decade or so to spend at least $40m on a new pool because this one is too small.” Mr Lyons said the KFCE would give $1m to offset any operational cost differences for the next decade. “We have been told there is a chance if we don’t support the 25m plan, the entire project will fold,” he said. “If that does happen, that is this council’s decision.

Make no mistake about that. We have given them a deal that takes away any concerns they have with operational or capital costs. “The state government’s $15m is still on the table, and the business case still costs the project at $28m. “With us offsetting the operational cost difference for the next decade, there is no other reason not to support it.” A spokesperson for the Minister for Sport said the state government funding remained project specific to the 50m pool on Browning Street. In 2012, council considered three options concerning a multi million dollar aquatic centre, with two options accounting for the closure of the Kangaroo Flat, Long Gully and Golden Square pools, development of the Long Gully aquatic playspace. Councillors voted in 2012 for the 50m pool costing $28.97m instead of the 25m pool costing $25.48m. A COGB spokesperson said the matter was being considered in the 2015/16 budget process with no decisions made. “Kangaroo Flat and Golden Square have been treated as second-class citizens for too long. We don’t want a second-class pool,” Mr Lyons said.

Taskforce for youth jobs By CHRISTINE McGINN

ACTIONS will speak louder than words in a new initiative to get Generation Y into the workforce. Following last week’s jobs expo, businesses, educators and the City of Greater Bendigo council are discussing forming a youth unemployment taskforce. The man behind the initiative, St Luke’s manager of special projects John Bonnice said “thoughtful planning of action” would resolve the issue. “It’s unacceptable to have such high youth unemployment, we need to address it,” he said. “This is a serious issue we

We need to support our young people to have the skills to create employment opportunities. “We need to set ourselves some clear targets. We need to build pathways to employment through work experience or parttime employment. We could set ourselves a target for place in the community. “I am not saying this is the full solution but rather than talk-

ing about the problem we need to take it up.” According to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data,

Last year’s average youth unemployment rate was 19.2 per cent in Greater Bendigo. “We have to be careful that we

spend as much time focussed on the actions as we do on the talking part,” Employment Minister

Jacinta Allan said. “Young people in our community would want to see actions come out of any taskforce that may be established by the city. “ Cr Cox said it was a serious issue with both youth and employers needing support to make positive change. Mr Bonnice said it would take a “community effort” to resolve the issue. “No one agency or community group can solve this alone, it needs to be a commitment from all people,” he said. “It’s a shared responsibility of everyone. We all have the capacity to be part of the solution.”

CYCLONE BOUND: Nadine Tipping.

Nurse heads to Vanuatu BENDIGO Health Emergency Department nurse Nadine Tipping has flown to Vanuatu to help victims of Cyclone Pam. The tropical cyclone ravaged Vanuatu when it hit last weekend with reports more than 20 people have died. Ms Tipping has gone to assist with the Australian Medical Assistance Team (AUSMAT), after Vanuatu’s President Baldwin Lonsdale called for “immediate” help this week. Ms Tipping is a critical care nurse, trained in midwifery and has experience as a retrieval nurse with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. She completed the AUSMAT training in 2014 and it is believed she will apply her skills in Vanuatu for about three weeks. “Bendigo Health is very proud and supportive of Nadine and will continue to stay in close contact throughout her secondment,” a Bendigo Health spokesperson said.

A man of many talents

3From Page 1 At age 17, Mr McClure became a television announcer at Bendigo’s own BCV-8 studios, where his versatility, hard work ethic and love of Bendigo saw him quickly become a well-known and highly revered figure in the local community as an on-air personality in the pioneering early years of regional television. He wrote commercials, worked in the dark room, and doubled as a cameraman when required. He also served as a sidekick to the station’s own children’s character Strawberry Scarecrow. Aged 20, Mr McClure was appointed secretary of the Bendigo and District Tourist Association, a position he held for about four years. He also served on the Bendigo Development Committee from 1970 to 1973; and as a director of the Bendigo Trust from 1972 until 1998, including as chairman from 1979 to 1998. He was also a member of the White Hills Technical College Council from 1970 to 1974, and the Bendigo College of Advanced Education Council from 1974 to 1977. He was a director of the Eaglehawk Co-Operative Housing Society 1974 to 1994. His efforts to help save the iconic Victorian era Shamrock Hotel from demolition in the 1970s won him wide acclaim from the community, and he took on the role of chairman of the Shamrock Hotel Advisory Committee from 1975 until 1981, during which time he made sure one of the true jewels in Bendigo’s crown

would never again face such uncertain times. Together with Ray Foley, Mr McClure managed to convince the Bendigo City Council to purchase the assets of the Central Deborah Gold Mine for $6000, a move that saved the site, and a vital piece of Bendigo’s history from being lost. City of Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox said Mr McClure had worked diligently throughout his life to ensure that the city’s magnificent heritage was protected for future generations to enjoy. After losing his seat at the 1982 Victorian election, mostly due to federal issues surrounding the sale of the local Commonwealth Ordnance factory, Mr McClure, ever the entrepreneur, became a founding director and general manager of Bendigo Brick Pty Ltd, which operated successfully for many years serving local, interstate and even international markets. In years to come, following Bendigo Brick, he acquired a printing company, Bendigo Modern Press and produced a series of high quality books on Bendigo’s history which were keenly sought and highly valued, before the business was sold.

MAN OF ACTION: Daryl McClure at the spillway of Lake Eppalock.

MAYOR: Serving the city. In 1997, Mr McClure, established the Bendigo Weekly in conjunction with local real estate agents, and he set about building what would today become one of the leading community newspapers in regional Australia. Mr McClure was a founding board member, and also the paper’s managing director until 2008. He retired in 2010, but he remained an active wealth of information about

the history of Bendigo and a highly respected friend and colleague to the paper’s directors and staff. During his time at the Weekly, Mr McClure also oversaw the establishment of the equally successful Mildura Weekly newspaper, and he served on that company’s board until late 2014. This week, politicians from both sides of the political spectrum paid tribute to Mr McClure and his distinguished career. “Daryl was a highly respected member of the Bendigo community who devoted his life to public service in both state and local government for many years,’’ Northern Region MLC Wendy Lovell said. Bendigo state Labor MPs Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards, together with former MPs David Kennedy

and Bob Cameron said Mr McClure was a great advocate not just for Bendigo’s past, but for its future as well. “He drove the project for the Shamrock Hotel renovation as a significant Bendigo building. He worked closely with the council and businesses to secure Bendigo’s multistorey carpark opposite the library,” they said. But perhaps loyal friend to Mr McClure since their school days, local historian, teacher and Bendigo Weekly contributor James Lerk summed it up best: ‘’Daryl would chip in and do anything, as long as it was for Bendigo.’’ Mr McClure is survived by his wife Elaine, daughter Denita and son Trent, four grandchildren, sister Roma and their respective families.

STEPPING OUT: The fun run has a serious point. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Fun run a winner for Caritas A FUN Run at Catholic College Bendigo raised funds for international aid organisation, Caritas Australia. Following the success of last year’s Fun Run, Georgie Pell and her team have set a goal of 200

participants, which is nearly double last year’s, when they raised almost $2000. With the help of Joanna Monahan and Brydie Davies, the team made posters, planned the route and sourced sponsorship

for the run. The Fun Run came about through the school’s Walking Club, taking inspiration from such events as the Bendigo Bank Fun Run and the College’s Caritas Ks Walk.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, March 20, 2015

The first in a Bendigo Weekly series of stories on a growing problem

Domestic violence on the increase By DIANNE DEMPSEY

SHE can hear the car pull up and rings the police but it is too late – he’s through the front door. She runs to the bathroom and locks the door but he’s kicking that in. Locks weren’t made for him. The four children know the drill by now. They’re under their beds, the older ones covering the younger ones. He pulls her out of the bathroom and drags her into the bedroom so he has more room to attack. He also opens the window for a quick escape. He likes to kneel on her chest and choke her until she blacks out: that exquisite moment when he kills her and then brings her back to life again. That is power. We will call her Sue. Sue who can’t use her real name in case he tracks her down. Sue who has moved houses in Melbourne six times and came to central Victoria to hide from him; but his ability to find her is uncanny. She always thought she was a smart woman. She used to be a teacher, but when he bailed her up in a classroom one day, she left her job. Now he is dragging her around the bedroom floor by her hair and clumps of it have come out. He punches her in the face and in the stomach. He leaves before the police arrive and whispers in her ear. “I’ll be back ........ And next time I’ll kill you.” It is March 20, 2015, and so far this year in Australia, according to

Robyn Trainor, the Prevention and Development Manager of the Centre for Non Violence, 22 women have already been murdered in domestic violence situations; or about 8.8 per month. Last year 84 women were murdered in Australia, an average of seven per month. These year-on-year figures suggest an ominous increase in the number of women being murdered in domestic violence situations. Adding to the deaths, every three hours in Australia a woman is hospitalised because of domestic violence – figures based on the Centre for Injury Statistics from Flinders University. Sergeant Ben O’Regan the Unit Commander of the Central Victoria Family Violence Team says that victims, or persons involved in family violence, should report to Victoria Police whenever they feel unsafe, or that they need a police response. “They can be confident in the fact police will respond professionally and swiftly. “In an emergency (people in general) and particularly those exposed to family violence are encouraged to contact triple zero and seek immediate police assistance.” That family violence has come to the political fore-front is no doubt a reflection of the campaign that was ignited some 12 months ago by Rosie Batty. Ms Batty’s son Luke was murdered by her former partner Greg Anderson in what she has often described as a terrible, “final act of victory”. Soon after the tragedy, former

Chief Commissioner of Police Ken Lay took up the cudgels for her. Since then a Royal Commission into Family Violence has been appointed which is expected to fund responses in the 2016-17 state budget. Last Wednesday Victoria Police appointed assistant commissioner Dean McWhirter as leader of the first Family Violence Command in an Australian policing jurisdiction. In the meantime Sue is still suffering. Despite her best efforts she is lost in a maze of legal and agency activities. So far her former husband has breached more than 260 intervention orders. She has been advised by the Centre for Non Violence; helped by the police and hidden in safe houses. At one point her former partner’s charges were rolled into one conviction and she had a few months of respite while he was jailed, but he is out now and the war he wages against her is on again. She would like to move interstate but is required to stay in Victoria because of Family Law conditions regarding her former husband’s access to her children. “If I had known when I first met my ex that he had convictions dating back six years and these involved of-

TERRIBLE STATISTICS: Robyn Trainor is faced with a growing number of domestic violence situations.

fences against other women then I would have run for the hills. I really would like the police to address that issue.” The need for a cohesive and encompassing data base regarding domestic violence offenders appears to be a vital one; as is the need for an integrated domestic violence response. “We can’t wait until the findings of the Royal Commission to reform our system,” Robyn Trainor says. “We have to look at what is working well at the moment and what gaps and barriers there are in the system. “As more women come forward to report domestic violence we have to be prepared to keep them from risk. They need to be aware that in some cases for example if there is a

breach of an intervention order there can be custodial consequences for the perpetrator.” Sergeant O’Regan says that statistics released from the Crime Statistics Agency today indicate that family related incidents continued to rise, up 8.2 per cent to 68,134 in 2014. Like Robyn Trainor he believes the rise in overall statistics is linked to an increase in reporting. Victoria Police has undertaken an education process within the community, around giving victims of family violence the knowledge and confidence to seek help and report offences. Next week the Weekly will continue its series on family violence with a focus on the Police Family Violence Team of central Victoria and its relationship with relevant agencies in Bendigo.

Sport On ANZAC Day 2015 ANZAC Day will fall on Saturday 25 April 2015. The Victorian Government is working with all sporting codes and the Returned & Services League (RSL) to accommodate the playing of sport on this day, whilst also honouring the significance of ANZAC Day and all those who have served our country. The ANZAC Day Act 1958 prohibits the holding of sporting events to which persons are required to pay an admission fee or make a donation in order to watch sport, without the written approval of the Minister for Tourism and Major Events.

Share toys at the library

The Minister may approve the holding of sport on ANZAC Day if: • the sport does not commence before 1pm • a payment is made to the ANZAC Day Proceeds Fund in the case of the sport being held within the metropolitan area, or the RSL Patriotic Welfare Fund through the RSL State Branch Headquarters or local sub-branch for sport in country areas. Clubs should contact their respective peak sporting organisation or association to seek information about submitting a request for the Minister’s approval to play sport on ANZAC Day. Following consultation with your relevant peak sporting organisation or association, applications for the Minister’s approval should be forwarded by 17 April 2015 to the:

It was looking very tired and a Foundry Hotel Community Grant has allowed us to revitalise the area and make it a functional space once again,” Ms Rockes said. A revamped sandpit, “riding track” and space

for outdoor toys, along with a picnic table will provide a space for families to meet and children to play during toy library opening hours. “Our open day will be a great opportunity for families to see our party packs in action and check out the wide range of toys we have for lending. We will be selling off some older toys from our collection and will be offering face painting for children,” Ms Rockes said.

A 12-month membership to the toy library costs from $30 - $55 per family. Families joining at the open day will receive a special membership deal of 18 months for the price of 12 months. The Bendigo Community Toy Library is on the corner of Spring Gully Road and Kendall Street, Spring Gully – look out for Humpty on the fence. The family fun day runs from 9.30am till 12.30pm.

Applicants should consult the local sub-branch of the RSL on the protocols, requirements and appropriate commemorative activities for ANZAC Day. Sporting events to be held on ANZAC Day that do not charge an admission fee, or seek a donation from spectators, do not require the Minister’s approval. It is still recommended that relevant clubs discuss appropriate commemorative activities that can be incorporated into their ANZAC Day sporting events with their local RSL sub branch.

Project a winner

A PARTNERSHIP between business and charity has come up trumps for the homeless. Last year, Charter Hall formed a charity partnership with Haven; Home, Safe (HHS) in support of the Sidney Myer Haven program, as part of the $38 million redevelopment of Lansell Square in Kangaroo Flat. HHS, a charity providing services to the homeless and disadvantaged, also launched the Sidney Myer Haven project in February 2014, which aims to break the cycle of homelessness.

Nearing completion, the Australian-first $6 million plus program sees the development of a 23-unit medium-term residential complex for singles, couples and families, with those living in the complex to be supported through an intensive development program. During the redevelopment of Lansell Square, Charter Hall raised $25,000 for the Sidney Myer Haven program, with the money being raised through workplace giving and fundraising activities with tenants, the local community, contractors and consultants.

Charter Hall’s Will Green said the Sidney Myer Haven program will make a difference to the lives of a number of local families. “We are proud to partner with HHS and give back to the community who supports us,” Mr Green said. HHS Chief Executive, Ken Marchingo, said Charter Hall’s $25,000 contribution will go towards fitting out the site’s administration centre. “This is where much of the social curriculum delivery and case management will take place,” he said.

NEW STOREY: Council’s Craig Niemann with Cath McDonald and Maurie Sharkey.

Broader Radius One of Bendigo’s landmark buildings will undergo a major restoration following the signing of a long-term lease between the Backhaus Estate and Radius Disability Services. The four floors available at the 23 Mitchell Street site, formerly Toy World, will allow Radius to centralise its various activities in one location. Chairman Maurie Sharkey said Radius had identified the building, located in the heart of Bendigo, as an ideal home for its future activities. “We’re looking at Bendigo’s most ambitious social enterprise project yet,” he said. “We will be using every

floor for our social enterprise activities and training. “There will be a unique mix of great food and coffee, quality up-recycled clothing, and exclusive homewares produced by our local creative design team.” Backhaus Estate is committed to a major investment in the building to bring it up to modern standards, and make it fully accessible. Mr Sharkey said the facility would offer 50 jobs with 26 of these positions for people with a disability. It was expected Radius would attract an additional 200 people to the central business district every day. “Investing in inclusion just makes sense. The upgrade of the building will

create incredible ongoing economic and social impacts for Bendigo,” he said. Radius CEO Cath McDonald is equally enthusiastic about the development. “We are all about making opportunity for everyone in our community. Locating our new cafe along with retail and training enterprises right in the heart of Bendigo creates lasting positive outcomes for everyone,” she said. “We want Bendigo to be the leader in providing people with a disability the opportunity to be active in the community.” Radius will open its new social enterprise centre in Mitchell Street in September 2015.

The City of Greater Bendigo is inviting the community to participate in a special photography exhibition to recognise the contributions of young people to the region. The “Picture It” exhibition is part of National Youth Week 2015, which is the largest celebration of young people in Australia. The exhibition aims to highlight the talents or actions of young people that often go unnoticed. Anyone from the community can take part but the subject of their photo must be aged between 12 and 25 years. All submissions must be accompanied by a brief description as to why the young person should be acknowledged. Council’s Pauline Gordon said young people make a valuable contribution to Greater Bendigo. “Young people are fantastic assets in any community, they are often enthusiastic, keen to help and have a drive to succeed or make a positive change,” she said. “It is important to support and applaud the actions of young people in whatever way they may make our community a better place, be that as a volunteer, carer, artist, designer or in sports. “We’re encouraging residents to look outside the square and find some inspiring young people worthy of public recognition for a job well done, especially when they may otherwise have gone unnoticed. “The council is pleased to promote the exhibition, which supports key outcomes in the City’s Youth Strategy and that is to recognise the positive contribution of young people to the community and to highlight their achievements.” Entry forms are available on the YO Bendigo website www.yobendigo.com.au and must be submitted by April 7, 2015. All submitted photographs and text will be printed and displayed in the Bendigo Library throughout National Youth Week from April 10-19, 2015.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, March 20, 2015 SES fundraises for new vehicle BENDIGO SES volunteers will be shaking tins this Saturday to raise funds for a new four-wheel-drive rescue vehicle. Volunteers will be stationed at Charing Cross to raise funds to fit-out the vehicle with a bullbar, towbar, winch, recovery kit, lights, sirens, radios and SES approved decals/signwriting. “We hope to hear the rattle of many coins in their tins, in an effort to get the last funds required to get our new 4WD rescue vehicle rolling,” a SES spokesperson said. “The people of Bendigo and surrounds deserve an enormous round of applause for the donations made to the unit over the past 12 months or so. We are now very close to our goal – in fact we can just about fund the actual vehicle itself and we are currently researching various four-wheel-drives to find the one which will best meet our needs.” The SES expects it needs another $10,000 to get the vehicle up to scratch and ready to serve the needs of the greater Bendigo community. Locals can also Bendigo@ses.vic.gov.au to find out how to give a direct donation.

A NEW look Kmart store was officially unveiled at Lansell Square yesterday with a celebration for customers to mark yet another milestone of the centre’s $38 million expansion and refurbishment. The redevelopment started in November 2013, and the centre has undergone a full refurbishment since that time, with an upgrade of the centre’s amenities including a state-of-the-art Parents’ Room, new floor tiling, construction of sheltered carparks and installation of new food court and mall furnishings. The new Kmart store includes three distinct departments; kids, home and clothing. Charter Hall development manager Will Green said the completion of Kmart’s refurbishment works was another exciting milestone for the centre, retailers and the local community. By the completion of works in June, Lansell Square will offer additional on grade car parking, two full-line supermarkets, upgraded amenities and new specialty retail stores, bringing the total centre to 22,611 square metres and delivering an enhanced shopping experience for the community of Bendigo.

Industry joins with education

CIRCLE ROUTE: An artist’s impression.

Road change on show MORE than 200 people visited VicRoads in the Hargreaves Mall last Saturday to view the latest designs for the Ravenswood Interchange project. VicRoads Regional Director, Mal Kersting said the organisation was pleased with the level of interest shown by the community for the project. The Ravenswood Interchange is an $86 million project, jointly funded by the Federal and State Governments to replace the existing Calder Highway/Calder Alternative Highway intersection. The innovative design will be a first for Victoria. It draws upon the knowl-

edge of Australian and international experts, as well as input from the transport industry. Mr Kersting said VicRoads received plenty of positive comments about the information on display, in particular how

was also continuing to talk with locals to gain a better appreciation of local traffic movements to provide safer local access to and from the new interchange. “Once it’s built, it will be much safer and easier for traffic heading north towards Mildura and south towards Melbourne. Later this month VicRoads will be installing a time–lapse camera on the north bound side of the existing intersection to help record the progress of the project. VicRoads plans to begin construction by the end of 2015, with the new interchange open to traffic by the end of 2017.

THE Community Foundation for Central Victoria and Deakin University have launched a partnership combining education pathways and local industry in central Victoria. Chair of the Community Foundation of Central Victoria Penny Wilkinson and Deakin Vice-Chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander launched the historic partnership at a function in Bendigo on Tuesday. The agreement will see Deakin University and the Community Foundation for Central Victoria build on their long-standing commitment to rural and regional Victoria by establishing engineering scholarships for highly motivated students. Deakin’s Head of School of Engineering Professor Guy Littlefair said the $55 million Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET) would begin enrolling students later this year. “Recipients of the scholarships will receive financial support to undertake engineering studies at Deakin through local pathways at Bendigo TAFE,” Professor Littlefair said. Ms Wilkinson said the partnership between Deakin and the Community Foundation of Central Victoria will open up a world of opportunity to local students. “Learning pathways are vital in ensuring students continue to learn and go on to make strong contributions to our communities,” Ms Wilkinson said.

Juggling priorities

Not just a pool

Council is in the unenviable position of having to juggle conflicting priorities and attempt to deliver to community’s expectation of a lower rate rise. It is more than reasonable that costs associated with council operations be assessed to ensure efficiencies and savings are delivered and investments maximised. Community needs and priorities should be at the forefront of council’s decision making process. I don’t subscribe to the notion that council should ensure each investment benefits every individual ratepayer. Conversely I believe there simply needs to be balanced and considered financial decisions that improve the overall vibrancy and liveability of our community. The future of council’s childcare services and the model that will underpin the service delivery is a community issue that requires considered thought, community collaboration and creative solutions. Since announcing the closure of Bendigo Early Learning Centre (BELC), council has remained tightlipped on this important issue. Council’s unwillingness to provide access to key documents, such as the Early Childhood Services review and service operating costs leave members of the public unable to reconcile their decisions to date. The practice of withholding information also ensures that community members lack the information required to fully engage with council and provide considered, costed and valid recommendations. Bendigo has a growing number of children in the 0-5 age group. Their best interests are not served by closing a centre in the CBD where children receive high quality care close to their parents’ workplace. BELC has operated for more than 60 years and reasons given to close this service don’t stack up. Parents who use the service require more explanation and discussions about its future and are willing to work with council to effect a better outcome for BELC. Inclusion, consultation and transparency is required if council truly wants to engage in a way that will inform this process. Council investment in early childhood education must be a priority, and with the right modelling these services can run in a financially viable manner and deliver long term benefits to our community for years to come. N Evans, Save BELC Group

It has been pointed out by Mr Collier and also the mayor that walking is a great exercise and it is, if you are fit enough to do so. Unfortunately a lot aren’t because of arthritis and other disabilities but they still need exercise for their general wellbeing. Based on the fact that 28 per cent of Australians have arthritis or chronic back problems, Kangaroo Flat, Big Hill and Golden Square could have a combined total of 5900 affected, or for the City of Greater Bendigo 31,600. In Australia currently 25 per cent of adults and five per cent of children suffer obesity, some of which could be attributed to lack of exercise caused by some of the problems outlined above or similar. Water, because of its buoyancy, can take the stress off joints and allow sufferers of these conditions to exercise with some comfort. The proposed aquatic centre is to have facilities for this including a hydrotherapy pool for more extreme cases. The fact that it has all these facilities will help make it a success. Access by public transport is another factor and it can be serviced by two bus routes and about 60 V/Line services each way per week from Bendigo or Castlemaine. The walking/cycling track running past the site is another way it can be visited. $15 million for a $30m asset seems a bargain to me especially if it can be borrowed at current low interest rates and paid off over time. If this project does not go ahead the major losers will be sufferers of all the disabilities I have mentioned along with many I haven’t. If built it could be just the catalyst needed to motivate people to become more active in swimming, aquatic aerobics or other exercise and fun for the kids. Figures used in this article were calculated from the figures taken from studies done in 2011/12 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the National Health and Research Council on Obesity and population data from the City of Greater Bendigo. Ivan J Bowman, Kangaroo Flat

Bendigo council members. Even if we forgive Cr Weragoda (we all make mistakes) the only honourable thing he can do is to resign immediately. Cr Cox and his fellow councillors have no right, on behalf of the ratepayers who voted for him, to forgive Cr Weragoda. Shirley Mainstone, Spring Gully

Shame on you I wish to advise you that as fellow Bendigonians both myself and my husband are totally disgusted with your front page last week. I feel ashamed that you could stoop so low when this gentleman is in the terrible situation that he finds himself in. Yes, both he and his wife made the wrong decisions that evening but thanks to our police they were stopped from driving any further. Mr Weragoda has apologised to his fellow citizens and has acknowledged his mistake to the people of Bendigo. If that embarrassment isn’t enough you have to keep hounding him and the headline “Shamed” is just plain wrong. I do not know or have ever met Mr Weragoda but I certainly feel for him and his wife to be so publicly shamed. He made a wrong decision. We

all make wrong decisions at some time or another so give him a break. There are dozens of people who drink and drive here in town and elsewhere but you don’t put their photos on the front of the paper with the word “Shamed” because they aren’t newsworthy enough. He certainly has enough problems without you making it tougher for him. I wish him and his wife all the best in the future. Carole Morrison, Bendigo

Ignoring concerns I wish to endorse David Arscotts’ comments about your newspaper allowing our citizens to debate the pros and cons of many issues including the Kangaroo Flat Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre fiasco. I note Peter Kennedy’s comments in the Bendigo Weekly, February 20 regarding whether council had approved the development of the pool on February 8, 2012. On page 148 of the council minutes states: “Council resolves to: B ”Adopt option 2 as the model to proceed with the Aquatic Facility at Kangaroo Flat based on the adopted Aquatic Strategy, including amongst the suite of components a 50 metre Pool”. Option 2 included the closure of Golden Square pool. A strong community response to the closure

of the Golden Square pool resulted in a Committee of Management running the pool and the pool remaining open. There is no reason why a similar community reaction to potential rate increases resulting from the proposed building of the mosque shouldn’t be expected. Nothing should be set in stone and unable to be changed simply because a council decided. Any motion can be rescinded especially when there are more equitable options of expenditure across higher priority community needs The second part Mr Kennedy refers to, captures the concerns of consultants who, incidentally, were not supporting a 50m pool, they were in fact were suggesting a 25m pool. In addition the consultants were concerned about the major negative effects that such a large project as this would have on council’s finances and capital works programs now and into future years. In their opinion it could not be afforded. In the reports the consultants expressed concerns about the viability of the pool, that there was not enough population to support such a development and obviously the costs. Council officers appear to ignore these concerns. Colin Burns, Strathfieldsaye.

editorial

A man of his word I FIRST met Daryl McClure when as an inexperienced reporter I accidentally gate crashed a private meeting of City of Greater Bendigo councillors just prior to a public meeting back in the mid-1990s. I guess that’s one way to make an impression, but as it turned out, that embarrassing moment became my lucky day. Daryl gave me my first real break in journalism at the Bendigo Weekly, and my family and I remain incredibly grateful to this day for his willingness to do so. It saddens me now though that I appreciate his gesture more today than I did just a week or so ago. Daryl quickly became almost a de facto father figure to those of us lucky enough to work for him in the hurly burly early days of Bendigo Homes and Property as it was. He taught all of us the values of hard work, persistence and of believing in what you do. He taught us by example, because Daryl more than anyone appreciated the value of actions over words. In the very first weeks of the Bendigo Weekly it was not unusual for our very small group to work right through the night at least once a week. And if we did it once a week,

BendigoWeekly

Editorial Comment I reckon Daryl did it twice. He worked us incredibly hard, and we loved every minute of it. And he worked himself even harder. He would often kick us all out mid-afternoon of a Friday – the work was done for the week he would say, before disappearing into the plate room and surrounding himself in even more work. He had but a few rules – treat others as you would yourself was a central one. Daryl’s knowledge about all things Bendigo was something else. His love for family and friends was always close to the surface, and those of us who worked for him were lucky enough to be included in that very tight and very private group, if not as tight as his family. He had this cheeky irreverence where every now and then he’d do something really crazy – well crazy for Daryl anyway. He did that with

us because he trusted us. On a personal note, Daryl was at various times my boss, he was a friend, a mentor and a confidant who I have always had an enormous amount of respect for. I have never met someone so determined to prove he was right – and he usually was. He never asked nor sought a favour, he remains the most honest person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. His integrity, decency and honour meant everything. Always. I can remember when he was mayor back in 2000, and some senior members of the Myer family came to Bendigo on a Sunday to coincide with the centenary of the first Myer store, located on Daryl’s beloved Pall Mall. There was no better Bendigonian to show off this city’s rich heritage assets that day than Daryl McClure, and it clearly impressed Baillieu Myer. It’s been well documented how Bendigo is so much richer for the efforts of Daryl and his select group of fellow visionaries. We are all so much richer for having known Daryl McClure. Some of us, more than others. – Peter Kennedy

comment

Honoured to be part of the vision By KEITH SUTHERLAND Former Director and Chairman of Bendigo Weekly

IT was a very sad day on Sunday when I learnt that one of Bendigo’s visionary leaders had passed away. Daryl has battled with health issues over the past few years but never lost his zest for debate and to question decisions by authorities. His intellect and attention to detail and memory was legendary. I have been lucky enough to have known Daryl for nearly 50 years. In 1964 he was one of the youngest television reporters on BCV-8. He was Secretary of the Bendigo

and District Tourism Association. He became a Bendigo City councillor from 1969-1970. In 1973 he was elected as the Liberal member to the Victorian Legislative Assembly until 1982. He returned to the City of Greater Bendigo in 1996 and served as Mayor from 1999 to 2000. Daryl gave his all to this community in so many ways; he was a visionary and responsible for many things that changed the fabric of our society and in some ways his contribution was undervalued due to his questioning of authority and those people in a position of power. In the last interview

I did with Daryl some weeks ago, he spoke with such passion about Rosalind Park and the encroachment of further development on our magnificent parkland. Where I really got to know Daryl’s abilities and passion was when he, Steve Carter and I started the Bendigo Weekly newspaper in 1997 against all odds and much competition. I know he was very proud of all the Weekly’s achievements, and his dedication from the beginning to guide this new publication to be the preeminent newspaper in this area is testament to his tenacity and vision.

ed, by Bendigo agents, it was a risky innovation but it succeeded by hard work and a dedicated and loyal staff and still flourishes today with the same ideals originally led by Daryl. Daryl will be sorely missed by his wife, children and family, but Bendigo has lost a true legend and a person who gave his all to make this a better community. His enormous contribution will be remembered and those of us who worked alongside him are truly honoured to have been part of his vision. Rest in peace my friend, I will miss our many debates and discussions of local and national affairs.

Front row at the movies Seems there’s a new way to watch a film in private

LD, Old Nick our writer stayed awake in the office long enough to tell me a tale from home. Apparently he was sitting at the dinner table flicking his thumb in the direction of his long-long-suffering partner. Of course she asked him what he was doing and he replied he was flicking imaginary peas down her top. Always quick on the uptake, long-long-suffering partner said if she had an imaginary stick she’d hit him with it. Old, Old Nick is just the type of bloke you can imagine this happening to, and I can fully understand the wish for the stick. While he was in storytelling mode he let the cat out of the bag. I was listening of course as he described a family member’s creativity. Seems the young man, fed up with the distraction of living with Old, Old Nick had built himself a home theatre. I am sure many of us have done this in one way or

another, but this is a modern take on an old theme. Our youngster used a blackened cardboard box, inserted his smartphone, and put the box on his head to seal himself off from dad. Once again, we can’t blame him. Once this story gets out everyone will want a cardboard box to put on Old, Old Nick’s head. Anyway, our theatre entrepreneur obviously enjoyed his time with the exclusive screening, and was last seen asleep with the box still on his head. Hopefully there is a photo as proof. Another thing which

caught my ear this week was a tale of vision. There’s a man in our workplace, let’s call him Laurie, who flits in out of the building with a purposeful look in his eye. He has the only room I have ever seen which looks more like a kitchen than an office. In his kitchen-office he has a fridge, a kettle, a microwave and a desk. Probably thinks he should do a bit while he’s eating. Some wag has put a sign under a sliding window to his kitchen-office “Laurie’s Diner”. He always advises me what my next column should be about, and they’re generally

far fetched. He seems sincere, but if I hear “that’s your column” when he comes up with one of his wayward ideas again I will cry. Anyway, he gave me a laugh this week for a change when bemoaning the snapped arm to his glasses. He was complaining about the cost of the various components, but had a fair point about the glasses as whole. He waved them at me with a bit missing and said: “I wouldn’t mind, but I paid so much because they are unbreakable.” - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

dear dotty... Dear Dotty I saw a group of mums queuing up for their morning coffee on the way to school. They had the prams and they had the school children with their backpacks and they were in their three quarter black tights so they could go to the gym after dropping off their children. My question is, what is the world coming to? Disturbed, Dawn Dear Dawn, When I had children at school I trained them properly and stayed in bed. I taught them how to make their own sandwiches and how to dress themselves. I even taught them how to write their own notes. All I had to do was give them a sweet little kiss as they walked out the door. I would then turn over have another snooze and go out for lunch, preferably avec Moet. Dear Dotty, I have a met a girl to whom I am very attracted but she has the same name as my mother and I just can’t go there. I close my eyes, go in for the big smoocherama

Illustration: “Wildey”

and think, oh no, not with my own mum, I just can’t do it. Disturbed, Richard Dear Richard, Quite agree with you on this one. No matter how handsome the other person is, the name can be quite a dampener. For example Gertrude is rather rotten and so is Percy. Can you imagine the wedding vows being read out, “Do you, Percy, marry you, Gertrude”. On the other hand if the said Gertrude and said Percy had oodles of money then maybe one could shut one’s eyes and think of the Caribbean. Twitter@DearDotty

AVE you ever wanted to know something about religion but been too scared to ask? Last Wednesday night there was an extraordinary gathering of people at the MultiFaith Dinner at the All Seasons Conservatory. Representatives from all major faiths gathered to discuss Freedom of Religion and Belief. The keynote speaker was UNESCO Asia Pacific Intercultural and Interreligious Relations chair and Global Terrorism Research Centre director Professor Gary Bouma. Prof Bouma is also an associate priest in the Anglican Church and one of his topics was that of “inclusiveness” in Australian society, a quality of which we have a long tradition. There was also a Q&A panel which included Harkirat Singh who started the Sikh Blood Donation Drive with Australian Red Cross. Lhundrup who was ordained by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and received full ordination vows with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2004. Dr David Kram, president of kehillat s’dot zahav – the progressive Jewish congregation of Victoria’s Goldfields; Pastor Bud Beaty who represented Christians and Mr Mohamed Mohideen the Muslim guest speaker. During the Q&A question time which was conducted by communications expert Anthony Radford a question from the audience challenged the concept of “inclusiveness”. The question related to the fact that there were no women representing any of the religions on the panel. Noemi Cummings, executive officer of Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services, said the lack of a female representative was an organisational matter which prevented her female guest from appearing.

HORSING AROUND: A new take on fashion.

Fashion from the field

RIGINAL designer garments with an industrial twist are on show, fusing farming with high fashion. Crafted from materials found and used in farming, the one-of-a-kind garments blend industry resources with the runway. Visitors will be in awe as they gaze at the items used in unconventional garments at the Living Arts Space exhibition at the Bendigo Visitor Centre. The garments were chosen from the larger collection entered into last year’s Elmore Field Days’ Ag Art Wear competition. Designers are challenged to create a piece of agricultural art for the body from only rural materials. Garments contain ma-

terials such as shade cloth, rubber tyres, tractor filters, fur, onion bags, baling twine and zip ties. Elmore event coordinator Lorraine Trewick said they looked forward to next year’s creative ambitions. “Each year we run the event and are amazed and excited by the innovative production methods and creativity that has gone into the making of each piece,” she said. City of Greater Bendigo tourism manager Kathryn Mackenzie encourages everyone to visit the exhibition. Garments will be on display at the Bendigo Visitor Centre until April 26 and will be on display daily between 9am to 5pm. Entry is free.

E are in for a musical treat next week, when Marta Pacek returns and The Jessica Stuart Few comes too. They’re co-headlining their first Australian tour together, Pacek teaming up with the Canadian Stuart. If you have never witnessed a Japanese traditional 13-stringed floor harp instrument in action, then let Canada’s award winning Indie Folk/Jazz trio The Jessica Stuart Few show you how it’s done. Living in Japan as a child and growing up with a Koto master for a mother, Jessica’s innovative take on the instrument

THE JESSICA STUART FEW

has put traditional Asian sounds next to double bass, drums and three-part harmonies in a compelling contemporary singer-songwriter context. Stuart’s vocals and signature songwriting, coupled with The JS Few’s upbeat fusion of folk, soul, jazz and rock has seen the trio gain worldwide critical acclaim. Bendigo regular Pacek has drifted between North America and Australia with her guitar and this modern day gypsy is destined to make it even bigger. On March 25 they play The Music Man Megastore, Bendigo and on March 26 The Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine.

Have your say on gig N

OW is your chance to have a say in the future of a one day music event. Rock in the Vines is the brainchild of muso Steve Saxton, and last year he was all set for the family music event to go ahead at the Big Hill vineyard, hence the event name. The event was moved from its original location of Big Hill Vineyard after failing to presell enough tickets to give confidence that costs would be covered, and Rock In The Vines 2014 was a big success at The Rifle Brigade Hotel instead. Now Saxton is looking ahead to March 2016. “We investigated other options as in venues and style of event, a Laneway Festival was investigated pretty thoroughly,

and I have come back to thinking Big Hill is the best option and the one I’m truly passionate about,” he said. “I have created and circulated an online survey to try to get community support and interest for a 2016 Big Hill Rock In the Vines. “I’m hoping for 1000 responses to be able to provide support to our cause when we approach corporate sponsors.” Saxton said he is aiming to make it a real family day at the vineyard, and is pleased with the response to the survey. “It’s good, but I’d like more.” Go to www.rockinthevines. com to complete the survey and find out more, and stay in touch via twitter @rockinthevines

Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect. While elder abuse is vastly under-reported, it is estimated 1–10% of older people suffer from it worldwide. Please join us in saying “no” to elder abuse by holding your own awareness event for WEAAD.

A toast to the longest lunch T

HE sun was out and the smiles shone on the faces of guests at the World’s Longest Lunch in Bendigo’s Rosalind Park last Friday. Guests savoured six regionally sourced courses presented by Bendigo Winegrowers Asso-

ciation and Wine Bank on View. Bendigo wines were carefully selected by expert sommeliers to match each of the six courses. A glorious day and a gorgeous table that stretched along the grand boulevard of Rosalind

Park greeted the 160 guests attending the lunch. As part of the 2015 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, the World’s Longest Lunch in Bendigo showcased the stylish food and wine this region has to offer.

Free food for all

N the late summer and early autumn while fruit trees are burgeoning, the glut of food can make for a challenge. There are only so many apple pies and jars of jam you can make. The solution to what to do with excess food has been taken on by a group of locals who have embraced a movement which started overseas and is gradually spreading to other countries, including Australia - Food is Free. In early February Bridget Conroy and Kelley Effenberg put a box of excess fruit and veggies under a tree in Victoria Hill Mining Reserve opposite the Gold Mines Hotel. The sign says, Food is Free and the only proviso is that people are encouraged to replace the food - when they are able.

Sometimes cupboards are bare. In a notebook which is at the site some of the comments say, “Thank you so much we will replace food when we are able.” “This is such a great idea, thank you.” “We have borrowed a zucchini and two plums. We will bring you some tomatoes.” “If anyone has fruit trees that can be picked so they can be given away let me know.” “If I hadn’t taken something to eat tonight. I would have been very hungry.” Not only fresh food is left, but packaged food, pot plants and cookbooks. Mrs Conroy said having started with a box, they now have a trestle table to hold all the food.

Whenever we go out there we find that someone has tidied up the table and has left more food. “We’re now sitting back and participating rather than organising. There are literally hundreds of comments on our Facebook page and a common theme is the gratitude of people who are finding it hard to making ends meet.” The food site is in Victoria Hill Mining Reserve, opposite the Gold Mines Hotel. - Dianne Dempsey

A promising career P

ALL ABOARD: With Janelle Crouch and Angela Meek from the Bendigo Travel Cruise Centre. Photo: GARRY PATERSON

Opportunity to discover the ideal cruise

HIS Sunday is the ideal time to find out more about that cruise you’ve been promising yourself at the Bendigo Travel and Cruise Centre Cruise Expo at the Bendigo Club in Strathdale from 10am. And one of the great things about Bendigo Travel and Cruise is they are among the most experienced and qualified cruise experts around. “We have all personally cruised through various parts of the world,” Bendigo Travel and Cruise’s Angela Meek said. “River cruising, ocean cruising – we’ve done it all and we just love it.” “It is such a relaxing way to see our wonderful world.”

At Bendigo Travel and Cruise, staff have completed extensive training on cruise lines, destinations and their differences. “It is just so important that we put our clients on the right cruise.” Costs can vary and at the Bendigo Travel and Cruise Centre they have the know-how to make your budget stretch further. “Some cruise lines have all drinks and all day tours included while others offer fantastic kids’ clubs,” Angela said. “Other are mega liners and some are small ship cruising experiences.” “ Any way you want to see the world on a ship – we can get you there.”

These days families often want to travel as a multi-generation group with grandparents, parents and children. “It’s a great way to travel as a family as the cruise lines cater for everyone and it’s great value for money too. “We can also organise incentive travel for companies, or even conferences at sea,” Angela said.

Sleeping easy thanks to Linda

ILL RACKSTRAW of Kangaroo Flat knows a thing or two about sleep apnea, since being diagnosed with the condition more than eight years ago after an independent sleep study at the request of his doctor. “I used to snore a bit,” Bill said sheepishly. “But not anymore.” Linda Sawyer and Bendigo Sleep Lab were recommended to Bill by his cousin, after several treatments at the Bendigo hospital after a heart attack. “I was even down at Bendigo Sleep Lab earlier this week,“ Bill said. “There’s what they call a stick in the pump (CPAP machine) that I use which they put in the computer that tells us what’s going on.” Bill, a former cyclist, is on his second CPAP machine after originally receiving his first machine from another former cyclist. Heart trouble has left Bill with reduced cardiac capacity as his heart is no

longer pumping enough oxygen and his new generation CPAP machine makes a real difference . “I’m only working on half a heart,” Bill said. “This pump that I now use makes a real difference, a good night and I feel 100 per cent better the next day. “But it doesn’t last that long, I have it use it every night. “I still call into Bendigo Sleep Lab a couple of times a year for supplies as I need to wash my mask daily. “Linda and her staff are pretty good to you and always make you feel welcome and look after you.”

This pump that I now use makes a real difference Bendigo Sleep Lab, 406 High Street, Golden Square, phone 5447 8827 where they specialise in home-based sleep monitoring and treatment for a range of sleep disorders. www.bendigosleep.com.au

Lose weight with positive thinking

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

pants where they want to be and enable them to remain there.” The program also includes support CDs, designed to reinforce the new messages that will bring about a permanent change in eating behaviour. The progress of the first 350 people to complete the Virtual Gastric Band Program has been documented. The results show that 345 participants or 98.5 per cent achieved a positive result. The total combined weight loss at the completion was an impressive 1680 kilograms and the total number of centimetres lost was 6.150 metres, equating to an average weight loss of 4.79kg and 16cm per person, after just four weeks. Of course, these figures are just averages, so some participants lost more and some lost less than average. Phone 1300 116 117 or visit their website www.hypnoticweightloss.com.au for more details.

Going theatrical W

HEN conducting research on the Prescott and Dawe jewellery business I wondered, who was the actual owner of the land on which the Keogh and Austin designed building was erected? Interestingly the land in central Bendigo had been acquired by a man who was originally a store keeper at Huntly, John Matchett. Mr Matchett branched out with his grocery and supply business into Bendigo, eventually having three different outlets in the city. He was also civic minded, having become a councillor in the Huntly Shire and was at one time president. Charles Melbourne Dawe, as pointed out in an earlier article, became a partner in the firm of Prescott and Dawe. Upon the death of Frederick Napoli Prescott, Mr Dawe negotiated with his widow for the purchase of her late husband’s portion of the business. The name of Prescott and Dawe continued on after the acquisition. Mr Dawe with the assistance of his daughters and extensive staff, of up to 16 people, continued to operate successfully up until his death in 1963. With the passing of Charles Dawe, he had stipulat-

ed that the business should be closed and all stock sold off. Prescott and Dawe were, as has been previously pointed out, always keen to promote their business, with the advent of cinemas in Bendigo, advertising using lantern slides was an important innovation. Eventually there were three cinemas, the first was the Royal Princess Theatre in View Street, next came the Lyric Theatre, at Charing Cross, which featured, as they promoted “Photo Plays”. The last to be built in the halcyon days of the “biographs” was the Plaza Theatre on the corner of Mitchell Street and Bath Lane. Just as an aside, when the foundation trenches were being dug for the Plaza Theatre, the labourers had gold cradles operating during their lunch time to put through the dirt that they had so industriously excavated out by hand. Some of the men made more out of the gold that they won during their lunchtime than they did out of their weekly wages. Gold, as has been revealed, was manufactured into many different items by both the partners of the Prescott and Dawe business. One item, which accord-

ing to Prescott and Dawe’s statement was the largest of its kind ever manufactured in Australia, was a 15 carat gold picture frame. Manufacturing became another aspect of employment in Bendigo with the Swiss Manufacturing Company. Situated in Hargreaves Street, between Short and Wattle streets, it operated until the early 1960s. Mr Dawe was chairman of this company which had brought out four Swiss experts and their equipment to manufacture all types of watch cases. Other directors of the Swiss Watch Manufacturing

Company were Albert Staples, Fred Mackintosh, Dr Albert Beischer and Sir George Lansell. The company supplied complete ladies and gents watches wholesale to jewellers throughout Australia. The reasoning behind this enterprise was to circumvent customs and tariff regulations. All the movements were fully imported, with only a minimal import duty having to be paid. The cases being made locally eliminated the stiff tariffs. The leather straps, for the watches, were also manufactured in Australia, adding to the “local” aspect, of the final product.

From the Bru to the Borough Dan O’Riordan LOCAL writer Dan O’Riordan has written his self-published, heart-felt memoir of growing up in Ireland and eventually emigrating to Australia. Born in 1971 in County Cork, Ireland, Dan O’Riordan came from a middle-class family on Cathal Brugha Place, Dungarvan. For many years Dan suffered from bullying and physical, mental and sexual abuse. But O’Riordan’s optimism shines through as he relates his triumph over the hard times and the birth of

E can spend a lot of money furnishing our homes and businesses with curtains and blinds, so keeping them clean and well maintained makes economic sense. At Denfield Blind and Curtain Cleaning they hear plenty of stories about people attempting to clean their own window furnishings with disastrous results. So why not call Denfield’s Rod Hamilton and have your blinds and curtains cleaned and repaired in your home, office or their workshop at reasonable cost, rather than replacing them. “Recently we’ve been doing a lot of blind cleaning in businesses and houses along main roads,” Rod said. “It’s really quite amazing the amount of black residue building up some of these blinds, due to what we believe to be exhaust fumes. “Don’t forget this dust and any mould

spores will eventually filter through any cooling or heating ducts and may be detrimental to your health. “We can professionally clean your blinds which is much more thorough than a regular dusting, which just recycles the dust to be cleaned from another surface later on.” Denfield Blind and Curtain Cleaning also offer an added specialised cleaning service of upholstery, including leather, mattresses and all those hard to reach ceiling fans, lights, air-conditioning and heating vents. All cleaning products are allergy and chemical-free, while all dust and contaminants are contained and disposed of so not to further contaminate cleaned surfaces. Phone Rod on 0439 132 021 for an obligation free on-site quote or email denfieldblinds@gmail.com.

McClure – Daryl H.R

The Contemporary World In The Light Of Tradition

Daryl was a wonderful mentor to many in Bendigo over four decades, a calm voice, always thinking with a wider perspective, one whose counsel was most invaluable and often sought. He had a habit of making sure tasks were achieved, jobs done and never shirked the hard decisions in business. His depth of knowledge about Bendigo was renowned and his lifelong passion for Bendigo legendary. We will all benefit for many years to come from his tireless work to save a number of heritage buildings, the trams and so much more. Bendigo is a much better place for Daryl’s business and community involvement and we are all the richer for having known and spent so much time with him. On behalf of Daryl’s fellow Directors and the Shareholders of Bridge Street Properties.

Blues meet challenge MORE than 9500 people were treated to one of the AFL’s biggest rivalries on Sunday, as Carlton and Collingwood took to the Queen Elizabeth Oval in a pre-season NAB Challenge match. The almost capacity crowd saw what was an entertaining spectacle, with Carlton prevailing 1.9.8 (71) to 1.7.13 (64). Chris Yarran and Chris Judd were Carlton’s best pair, while Collingwood recruits Levi Greenwood and Jack

Crisp were the magpies’ standouts. “It is a NAB (Challenge) game, but two out from a main series game its pretty important to get your game in some sort of order,” Blues coach Mick Malthouse said post game. “There were eight boys who played their first game for the year today, and the good thing about these games is that you get a game under those guys’ belt. “We started very well, then

we started to swim with gumboots and a raincoat. It was up and down, you just had to weather the game.” Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said his side never hit top gear. “We just didn’t get going, basically all day,” he said. “I thought it was an intense contest, the pressure around the ball was really high for a (NAB Challenge) game. “I think that is a reflection of the program sides are

in the midst of for round one, you want to take your chances to get that intensity up and I thought both sides brought fair energy around the ball.” Collingwood opens its season against Brisbane in round one on Saturday, April 4, while Carlton will take on Richmond in the season launch on Thursday, April 2.

Spirit’s Griffin adds to haul with league’s top prizes BENDIGO Spirit star Kelsey Griffin has added another pair of awards to her everexpanding trophy case, after being named the Women’s National basketball League’s defensive player of the year and a league all-star on Wednesday.

Griffin’s excellent season was recognised at the CLUTCH: City’s Jason Shade (number six) heads in the late winner. Photo: JOEL PETERSON

Bendigo steps up attack A HAT-TRICK of wins is on the cards for Bendigo City FC this weekend when it returns to National Premier Leagues Victoria action with a tilt against Ballarat Red Devils on Friday night. After its first NPL win against Bulleen a fortnight ago, City backed up with a thrilling FFA Cup win against Eltham Redbacks last weekend. Eltham hit the front shortly after half time when a defensive blunder between Jason Shade and goalkeeper Gianmarco D’Oria gifted the Redbacks the opener. Bendigo switched on

after that, creating a number of chances including a Karl Slevin header that drifted ever so slightly wide to the right of the upright. As Bendigo kept pressing, George Slefendorfas was brought down inside the box and Corey Slevin calmly stepped up to the spot and slotted home the resultant penalty. Bendigo were again solid in attack as the game wound down but failed to capitalise on opportunities, and it looked like extra time would be needed to separate the sides. That was until coach

Greg Thomas swung in a corner to the far post and Shade made amends for the earlier mistake, rising higher than the Eltham defence to calmly nod in the winner three minutes deep into stoppage time. The win sends Bendigo into round five of the preliminary series, with two more wins giving the club the chance of a crack at either of the Victorian A-League sides in the round of 32. Bendigo sits third on the NPL West table, while Ballarat is second last. The match at Morshead Park in Redan kicks off at 8.15pm.

WNBL awards ceremony on Wednesday at the AIS in Canberra. The former University of Nebraska forward averaged 16 points and nine rebounds, topping 20 points 10 times and recording six double-doubles. She joined former Spirit guard Tess Madgen, Townsville’s Cayla Francis, Dandenong Rangers star Penny Taylor and league MVP Abby Bishop in the all-star five.

Griffin will head back to the United States in midApril in preparation for the WNBA season with the Connecticut Sun. Spirit coach Bernie Harrower was also honoured this week, collectng the coach of the year award at the VicSport awards night on Tuesday. Harrower collected the top award for coaches, while the Spirit claimed the club of the year award.

First woman takes charge FOR the first time in its 140 year history, the Bendigo Football Netball League will have a female chairperson after Carol McKinstry was appointed to the role. McKinstry takes over from outgoing chairman Paul Byrne, who served four years in the top job and will remain on the BFNL board. McKinstry is entering her fourth year on the BFNL and is a senior lecturer at La Trobe University. She coordinates the occupational therapy course which she established in 2009 at the Bendigo campus to provide local education opportunities for rural and regional students and reduce workforce shortages. Before working with La

WEEKLY SPORT Chase on for shield glory From Page 48 “We expect a good contest out of Sedgwick, when we played them early in the season it was a great game.” The Rams were confident of putting up a big fight against the Rangas, according to Dwyer. “Every game is 50/50, and every team is beatable,” he said. “We have been looking at it that way all year, and there is no reason that will change this weekend. “If we play well there is no reason that we can’t get the job done. We have shown we can make runs, and if you make a big score on this

ground it generally goes a fair way toward the result.” Rodda said that he picked the Rams as a possible contender early in the year, but was also adamant his side had the goods to take a second flag in four years. “I always thought with what they had added that they had a lot of leadership, and I always thought if we got through that they might have been the ones we would end up against,” Rodda said. “We have a lot of guys who have been amongst the runs, and we share the wickets around too, we don’t just rely on one or two standout contributions that has

been a strength all season.“ “And I think playing here at Spring Gully you always get a fair contest, and it is a great spectator ground so the league should be pleased and hopefully we put on a good show.” The EVCA divison one grand final will be played from 1.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday at One Tree Hill Hotel Oval, Spring Gully. The league also held its presentation night on Wednesday at Bendigo Stadium, with Spring Gully’s Alex Sutton taking out the EVCA champion player award.

TO THE KEEPER: Mandurang’s Cain Ladiges at the crease.

Jets and Suns burning for a win AFTER one grand final appearance in its time in the Bendigo District Cricket Association Strathfieldsaye will be hoping history repeats itself when the Jets take on Strathdale Maristians in this weekend’s BDCA grand final. The Jets and the Suns will do battle at Kangaroo Flat’s N8 Health Oval over the weekend for the 2014/15 flag. Strathfieldsaye took victory in the club’s lone BDCA grand final appearance, in the 2000/01 season. The side it defeated that weekend was none other than its opponents this weekend, the Suns. The Jets made their way to the decider after defeating reigning premiers Bendigo United last weekend by 58 runs, while the Suns took care of business in convincing fashion with a 92run win over Eaglehawk.

Strathfieldsaye captain Ben Devanny, named the BDCA’s first XI champion player – as well as winning the batting average and aggregate – at the league’s presentation night on Monday, said the team executed its gameplan to a tee against BUCCs. “It was great the way we stuck to our gameplan really. Luke Jones was sensational on day one batting all day, and Greg Lyon, Cory (Devanny) and Nick Scullie were great batting around him,” he said. “To do the job on Sunday with the ball was great. I thought Xavier Crone, in particular was fantastic. All the guys did a great job of keeping things tight and sticking to the plans we put in place.” In stark contrast, the Suns will make a sixth grand final appearance in seven years, and captain Linton Jacobs said they

were part of the way to making amends for a disappointing end to the club’s 2013/14 campaign. “It is always good to be in the grand final, we were disappointed after how last year ended. Full credit to Bendigo United, who beat us fair and square that day, but we felt we had something to

Maristians and saw them take a four wicket win. Devanny paid credit to the Suns this week, saying their balance and depth were their main strengths. “They are obviously a quality side, they bat basically all the way down and have six or seven

We need to get off to as good a start as we can, whether we are setting a target or chasing their score make up for and getting back to the grand final gets us part of the way there,” Jacobs said. When the two sides met in round seven Devanny led the Jets to a first innings total of 288 with a masterful 135, but a 183run sixth wicket partnership between century makers Nick Baker and Ben DeAraugo rescued

bowlers who would bowl for any side in the competition,” the Jets skipper said. “We will need to put a full two days of cricket in. If we have any lapses, either with bat or ball, we will be paying catch up because with a side as good as their you expect they will make you pay.”

Jacobs said the key for the Suns would be getting off to a good start with the bat and not relying on the lower order to be the mainstays of the innings as has been the case on a number of occasions this year. “We need to get off to as good a start as we can, whether we are setting a target or chasing their score down,” the Bendigo representative skipper said. “If we can have wickets in hand at tea and give ourselves a good platform, that will go a long way.” The grand final gets underway at 12pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Golden Square and Eaglehawk will do battle in the second XI grand final, with Strathfieldsaye and Kangaroo Flat facing off in the third XI decider and Bendigo up against the Suns in the under-18 competition.

Shield glory

BIG DAY: Sedgwick’s Matt Dwyer and Mandurang’s Ben Rodda each have many reasons to win the shield. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By JOEL PETERSON

WHEN Mandurang and Sedgwick meet in this weekend’s Emu Valley Cricket Association grand final, both sides will have very different chances at history. Mandurang could complete an elusive undefeated season with a win, while Sedgwick is still searching for its first EVCA flag in its first finals appearance since 2009. Both sides recorded impressive wins over Axe Creek and United, respectively last weekend to make the decider. Mandurang’s depth has been its key all season, the Rangas boasting eight batsmen who have made more than 200 runs and a further five players who have taken at least 15 wickets. Sedgwick’s prolific batting lineup has been led by Matt Dwyer, who has made 666 runs at an average of 74 with four centuries, but the

Rams have three other batsmen placing in the top 20 in the league for funs scored. The late season addition of Andrew Hewitt (eight wickets at an average of 12 in five games) has bolstered the Rams’ attack. “Guys like (Hewitt) and Corey Jones as well as Steven Stroobants, who I think is the best wicket keeper in the league, coming in midseason has really helped,” Dwyer said. “It added to our bowling depth, and the batting depth we’ve got is really good.” Mandurang skipper Ben Rodda said the fact his side is undefeated will not weigh on the team. “The undefeated factor won’t matter to us or them, you don’t need any extra motivation to win a grand final,” he said. “All that record does is allow you to qualify for the game really.
