Bendigo Weekly – Friday, May 8, 2015

A VISIONARY blueprint for the City of Greater Bendigo’s future will give rise to medium density residential homes and suburbs. Councillors unanimously voted at Wednesday’s general meeting to ask the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, to appoint an independent panel to consider submissions made to their Greater Bendigo Planning Scheme Amendment. The amendment focuses on policy changes to develop a “compact city”, defines the urban growth boundary provisions, encourages 10-minute neighbourhoods and rezones land for residential development. Councillor Rod Campbell said it was vital for the city to grow and would guide residential growth to 2040 and beyond. “This really focusses on accommodating into the future residential development by creating a compact city,” he said. Councillor Rod Fyffe said it was “one of the greatest legacies” councillors would leave behind for the Greater Bendigo community. “It offers a blueprint for development across the city. That blueprint enables developers and people in the community to know what is going to happen in their neighbourhood once it’s adopted,” he said. “The panel will listen to all the submissions about the strategy, be impartial and fair and we await

BLUEPRINT: Cr Rod Fyffe. their findings.” Whipstick ward councillor James Williams said the strategy was about building a clear vision for the city’s future. Cr Williams also said the strategy did not stand alone rather integrated with other strategies including the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy. Cr Helen Leach had concerns about aspects of the strategy, saying dreams for higher density in areas such as Strathfieldsaye clashed with the notion of 10-minute neighbourhoods. But she agreed the city needed to contain its urban sprawl, develop a “compact city” and have higher density dwellings across the CBD and hospital precinct. THE latest result for the Housing

Industry Association New Home Sales Report shows strong growth in March, taking sales volumes to their highest level since early 2010. HIA economist Diwa Hopkins said residential construction continues to be the main bright spot in the broader domestic economy. Ms Hopkins also welcomed this week’s reduction to the official cash rate, a decision which she said has arrested much of the uncertainty around monetary policy. “Lower lending rates will provide added support to residential construction activity, which is emerging as a key area of growth mitigating the effects of the downturn in mining investment and construction,” Ms Hopkins said. BUY local campaigns support local businesses, helping ensure they survive against competition from shopping malls and major retail chains. But buy local – and sell local – also applies to real estate agencies, and local agents are a vital resource for both buyers and sellers. Many local agents grew up in the town where they now do business. They know every street, every park, every school, and are a walking directory on everything from where to get the best cup of coffee to the nearest train and bus service. Buyers can obtain all this information in a single, face-to-face conversation. Local agents are also familiar

MARONG DENTAL PRACTICE

with local house prices. They can give sellers a realistic appraisal of what their home will fetch and show buyers what they want within their budget. They also maintain databases of house hunters and those who missed out on previous sales and can call on these people. Sometimes, this means a property sells before the marketing campaign begins, saving the vendors money. Local agents are an integral part of the community, a supporter of charities, the go-to person for a publicity board for the school fete and a mine of information about local goings-on. REIV members have access to the most up-to-date training and seminars, which helps further with online and social media elements to campaigns. Agents also offer a further, local element to campaigns – their own shop window, which provides high exposure for properties for sale. Even today as internet marketing takes hold, main street agents’ windows not only show buyers what is for sale, but other locals. And word-of-mouth is a vital source for buyers. The local agent is a key part of any vibrant community and buying and selling with those agents is helping keep those communities healthy, dynamic and informed.

Community care stays

Friday, May 8, 2015 – Bendigo Weekly

By BRIDGETTE BARRY-MURPHY

UNCERTAINTY over the future of Home and Community Care has been resolved with the City of Greater Bendigo voting to continue the service. In a unanimous decision at a confidential meeting on Wednesday night, councillors decided to keep the aged care service following public consultation. The council made a provisional decision in February to close HACC but will now keep the service until the national aged care system comes into effect in 2017. Mayor Peter Cox said it would be “business as usual” for the service provider. “We’ve gone through a very extensive consultation with the vast majority, about 90 per cent of people who contacted council, wanting home and community care services operated by council,” he said. “It is important to balance the

Consultation sways decision for council

needs of the community with the business of operating an organisation.” The council is aiming to create a cost-neutral service, fully funded by the state and federal governments, by focussing on efficiency. The efficiency measures and service changes are expected to save the council $750,000 a year. “The city still subsidises its services and in the 2013/14 financial year contributed an additional $1.3 million,” Cr Cox said. “There are real savings that can be made that weren’t seen three months ago. “There are some very practical savings in terms of allocating staff to particular areas.” Client fees will also be targeted in attempt to reduce taxpayer contribution.

Although the council is able to increase fees within a set scale, it is yet to look at it in detail. Council has requested a report be submitted within six months that investigates alternatives to the Meals on Wheels service and for the

“The number of carers is changing all the time. We just try to manage the resources we need to manage the service each day. “It is not about charging the highest fee to every client. That is not on the agenda.”

A council-run community care system offers the highest and most productive level of service delivery of property maintenance services. Chief executive officer, Craig Niemann commended staff for their professionalism during such a distressing time. “It’s been good that the staff have been able to come up with a lot of savings through the process,” he said.

About 160 jobs have been saved by retaining the service and have delivered continuity of care for clients. Australian Services Union branch coordinator Billy King said Bendigo had retained its “quality and valued service”. “Community members who receive this service are among the

most vulnerable, and it has been proven time and time again that a council-run community care system offers the highest and most productive level of service,” he said. State member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the resolute community campaign was the reason behind the decision. “I had many upset and concerned clients and carers contact me when the council first announce their decision to ‘provisionally’ cease providing HACC services,” Ms Edwards said. The council is now focussed on putting pressure on the federal government to implement equalisation of funding across the nation as only Victoria and Western Australia have home and community care services delivered by local government. Community consultation was extended until April after the decision was originally meant to be made on March 25.

Cash rate at historic low THE official cash rate has dropped to an historic low of just two per cent. The Reserve Bank of Australia’s board decided to lower the cash rate by 25 basis points to two per cent, at this week’s monthly meeting. Governor Glenn Stevens said the local economy was expanding at a moderate pace but commodity prices had declined. “These trends appear largely to reflect increased supply, including from Australia. Australia’s terms of trade are falling nonetheless,” he said. The decision to cut rates is a boon for home buyers and anyone with a mortgage, and has been welcomed by local real estate agents. PH Property director Brad Hinton said the decision to reduce the cash rate to a record low level meant there had never been a better time to be involved in the real estate market. “In my opinion there has never been a better time to buy an investment property; or your first home.” Housing Industry Association economist Geordan Murray said prior to this week’s RBA meeting there had been a strong view that a rate cut would occur at some point in the near future, a position strongly endorsed by HIA. “While the aggregate level of new home building activity is at record levels, the strong conditions have not been experienced universally across the industry.” RBA governor Stevens said the bank is expected to start increasing its policy rate later this year, but some other major central banks are stepping up the pace of unconventional policy measures. He said inflation is forecast to remain consistent with the target over the next one to two years, even with a lower exchange rate.

HOW IT WILL LOOK: An artist’s impression of the changes to St John of God.

$50m redevelopment for St John of God ST JOHN of God Bendigo has appointed Kane Constructions to undertake the $41 million redevelopment of its hospital with construction to start next week. The new hospital building and services will be open by the end of 2016. Hospital Chief Executive Darren Rogers said the redevelopment offered central Victorians more health care options close to home as it will have 40 per cent more beds and two

new operating theatres. “Our private hospital will complement the new public Bendigo Hospital, attract more specialists, and will result in fewer patients having to travel to Melbourne,” Mr Rogers said. “We are very pleased to have reached this milestone and look forward to the building works getting under way and the refurbishment of the existing hospital.” Mr Rogers said the Kane Constructions team would

subcontract to a number of local trades and services. Mr Rogers said the not for profit Catholic hospital had been experiencing significant increases in demand for its services in recent years, and the St John of God Health Care Board was very happy to invest in the central Victorian community. Stage one of the redevelopment includes two extra operating theatres and 44 new beds, increasing inpatient bed

capacity by almost 50 per cent. This will be complemented by an enhanced front entrance, including lift access from Lily Street, and refurbishment of the rest of the hospital. No services will be closed during construction, and a new car park with 50 additional spaces will be completed by the end of this year. Mr Rogers said stage two was already planned, and is expected to cost $9.3m and will include another 28 beds.

Airport a high priority

THE City of Greater Bendigo council is eagerly awaiting the outcome of a $5 million funding application to the federal government to finalise funding arrangements for the much anticipated expansion of Bendigo Airport. Plans for the redevelopment have taken a giant leap forward with councillors this week formally adopting the planning scheme amendment needed for works to start. The amendment allows for

construction of a 1600-metre long runway and new business park and will now be sent to the Minister for Planning for final approval. Mayor Peter Cox said expanding the airport is a priority. “This project is about further growing Greater Bendigo’s economic base by providing better and faster access to the rest of Victoria and the nation,” Cr Cox said. “It will result in more jobs for the region as business owners realise the potential a new runway

provides for expansion. It will also ensure that emergency services can retain their operations at the airport.” City Planning and Develop-

City Futures Director, Stan Liacos, said he was looking forward to the amendment receiving final sign-off from the minister. “People have talked about this project for 10 years. The talk is nearly over – it’s planned, it’s needed and it’s time to get on with it,” Mr Liacos said. An announcement on the outcome of council’s $5m application to the federal government’s Stronger Regions Fund is expected this month.

THINK PINK: The conservatory has taken on a rosy hue for the week.

Mother’s Day still a classic BENDIGO’S version of Australia’s largest breast cancer research fundraising event, The Mother’s Day Classic, is on again this Sunday. The fun run/walk event has grown into a calendar must-do for thousands of families, friends and community groups across Australia, who revel in a festive event that supports a serious cause – funding research into Australia’s most common female cancer. Last year, more than 130,000 participated in a record 99 locations including every capital city and regional locations, both large and small, across Australia. The event serves as a fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation research, and has raised more than $24.3 million since the event began in 1998. Sadly, by 2020, it is projected that 17,210 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Australia – an average of 47 women

every day. One in eight Australian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. On average, seven women die from breast cancer in this country every day. Since the Mother’s Day Classic started, the five-year survival rates for women diagnosed with breast cancer have been increasing, and now stand at 89 per cent of those diagnosed. Improvements in survival are attributed to earlier detection of breast cancer – which is why research is so vital. Online registrations for the Bendigo Mother’s Day Classic have closed, but on the day registrations will open at 7am, with all events to start and finish at the Beischer Street Park in Strathdale. Runners in the eight kilometre event will be sent on their way at 8am, where they will complete two laps of the picturesque four kilometre circuit through local bushland and the Kennington Reservoir.

Injured?

You may be entitled to compensation.

At the completion of the 8km run, there will be short formalities and speeches and a minute silence. Entrants in the four kilometre walk and run events will start from 9am. Please note that no dogs are allowed. Results from the eight kilometre run and the four kilometre run will be published in next Friday’s Bendigo Weekly. Participants are also encouraged to fill in a tribute card to wear on the day in memory of a loved one or with words of encouragement to someone undergoing treatment. Entry fees to participate in this year’s Mother’s Day Classic include a standard adult price of $25, child/concession fees – $15, a family price for one adult and up to four children – $45, and for families of two adults and up to four children - $70.

MORE THAN 50 people attended the Royal Commission into Family Violence consultation session held in Bendigo this week. The Royal Commission is holding a series of community consultation sessions being held across Victoria until May 22. Attendees to the Bendigo session included people affected by family violence and people who work in the family violence sector. Key themes discussed during the sessions included early intervention, prevention, safety, accountability and the challenges faced by victims living in regional and rural Victoria. Commissioner Marcia Neave said the commission was delighted with the level of attendance at the com-

scribed family violence as a national emergency. “The Andrews Labor Government is taking action and leading the nation,” she said. While the funding includes support for the commission, which will report back to the community in early 2016, in the interim it is also aimed at supporting existing strained family violence support services to the tune of $57.9m. The government has also created a $16m fund to deal with urgent or unforeseen demand for serv-

ices arising from the Royal Commission. This includes $1m for crisis support and $1m for counselling services for women and children in 2014-15. Additional support aimed at the Victorian family violence legal services will ensure family violence duty lawyers from Community Legal Centres can help more victims in court. A safety audit will also be conducted into the structure and operations of all Magistrates’ Courts across Victoria.

Pollies battle on budget

By CHRISTINE McGINN

NORTHERN Victoria Region National parliamentarian Damian Drum has slammed the “antiregional” 2015-16 state budget. Mr Drum said Labor had cut $17.4 million worth of funding from the Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre and the Bendigo Tennis Centre projects. “The budget confirmed my fears that money the Coalition

Government had set aside for Bendigo’s new aquatic centre and tennis centre has disappeared,” he said. The former state government committed $15m for the new Bendigo Aquatic and Wellness Centre and $2.4m for the Bendigo Tennis Centre from the Strategic Sporting Infrastructure Program. But Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards fired back saying funding was in the pipeline.

“It is disappointing that Damian Drum is peddling such deceit. This does not do any fa-

The budget confirmed my fears vours for the Kangaroo Flat community or wider community around the projects,” she said.

over funding. The $15m will be allocated in this financial year. “It is a large project and we

are working to determine the scope and costings. The City of Greater Bendigo council are still working through their community consultation period for their 2015-16 budget. It is important we get this project right. “The project will be funded on a dollar-for-dollar basis.” Ms Edwards said the government had delivered every single commitment they made in Opposition into this 2015-16 budget.

Backing for the region

Funds in for Huntly crossing HUNTLY residents have been given the green light for a pedestrian operated crossing on the trafficridden Midland Highway in this week’s state budget. Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan announced $350,000 to fund a pedestrian operated crossing on the Midland Highway in Huntly. During the election campaign, Ms Allan had only promised $150,000 towards the crossing with then Liberal candidate Greg Bickley noting the funds were insufficient. But the Huntly Kinder Volunteer Parent Committee is pleased to have won their battle to install the crossing after their 260-signature petition. Petition organiser Kathryn Stanislawski said it was exciting to be able be to start the next stage in the process. “The community response has been overwhelming. The next step is to liaise with VicRoads to determine its location,” she said. “I’d like to see the crossing near the hub of town (the shops) but I would walk with my children

“Mr Drum has been around long enough to know it does not need to be itemised as it is carry

I can’t wait for it to happen.” Another $150,000 has been committed in the 2015-16 budget for VicRoads’ planning and design works at the dangerous Strathfieldsaye Road, Tannery Lane and Club Court intersection. Ms Allan had promised $800,000 to build a roundabout in August after locals pushed for the upgrade, and the City of Great-

er Bendigo council conducted a traffic survey. “Former government didn’t do any planning work and the City of Greater Bendigo is yet to finalise their study on traffic in Strathfieldsaye. Both the study and planning will guide the best outcome for the intersection,” Ms Allan said. “A timeline for construction will be determined through the planning process.”

THE state government says it is helping the Bendigo region recover from a jobs crisis and four years of cuts to schools, hospitals and services. In its first budget since taking back office at last year’s election, the Andrews government says the 201516 Victorian Budget invests in the things that local families need to live a healthy, safe and comfortable life, and funds the projects that communities and businesses need to create jobs and drive growth. ‘’In the jobs crisis that gripped our state over the last four years, regional Victoria fared the worst. Iconic businesses closed down, many more teetered on the edge, and young people packed up and left town in search of jobs,’’ it says. Premier Daniel Andrews said over the past four years, too many young people have packed up and left home in search of jobs. “Dedicated regional funds will create the jobs of the future, whilst the TAFE rescue fund will ensure that kids can get the training they need for the job they want.” The budget invests $500 million in a Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund. The government says the $200 million Regional Jobs Fund embedded within this will support projects to give established industries a real future and emerging industries a real chance. The government says TAFE cuts hit regional Victoria the hardest, and that the budget invests $300 million

to complete the TAFE Rescue Fund, which will help regional campuses like at Bendigo TAFE find their feet and offer more courses. Bendigo TAFE will also get regional Victoria’s newest agricultural campus, training the food and fibre workers of the future. Member for Bendigo East, Jacinta Allan said the government was committed to getting Bendigo back on track.

A budget that puts Bendigo families first “Whether it’s fixing Napier Street, getting Bendigo Metro Rail up and running, building a new CFA station for Huntly or supporting local schools, this is a budget that puts Bendigo families first,” she said. Member for Bendigo West, Maree Edwards said local students can’t get a first rate education, in a second rate classroom. ‘’That’s why we’re upgrading eight local schools and kinders, and undertaking the important planning process for a new school for Kalianna,” Ms Edwards said. “We’re also keeping the community safe with new CFA trucks and equipment.”

Support group puts focus on mental health

WINTER salE

Hope for tradies By CHRISTINE McGINN

LOCAL tradies have been sharing stories and working together to raise awareness about positive mental health and wellbeing. Gathering for Bendigo’s second Hope, Assistance, Local Tradies (HALT) “Save Your Bacon” breakfast, tradies gathered to get in touch with their emotions and find out ways to contact support services. Community mental health workers and representatives shared tips and

encouraged them to reach out when they need. Shadow Mental Health Minister, Senator Jan McLucas praised the community for getting to-

that it is okay to ask for help, or to reach out,” she said. “We often think of our tradies as being bulletproof because they’re

It is an innovative and practical way to engage with tradies gether to talk about good mental health. “Community-led initiatives like the HALT breakfasts provide invaluable opportunities for men to get together and recognise

always there when we need them, but the reality is they are just as vulnerable as other hardto-reach groups of developing a mental illness at some point during

their lifetime.” Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said she had been a “big fan” of the project since it started. “It is an innovative and practical way to engage with tradies and break down taboos,” she said. “Tradies know better than anyone a decent breakfast is the best start to the day. But this is about getting the message across that their mental health is every bit as important as their physical health.”

Time to celebrate * Government Funding available to eligible applicants. This training is delivered with Victorian and Commonwealth Government funding.

LA Trobe University graduands have celebrated the end of their studies in the heart of the city this week. La Trobe is holding four graduation ceremonies to accommodate the 1000 people graduating between Wednesday and today at the new Ulumbarra Theatre. The parade was a celebration of higher education in the city, according to the head of La Trobe’s Bendigo campus, Robert Stephenson. He said students en-

joyed the lifestyle and career opportunities once they chose to study regionally. “It’s a fantastic place to build professional connections and networks which encourage them to remain in regional areas,” he said. “Many of them will be successfully employed in organisations across Bendigo and regional Victoria, which adds significantly to the economic aspects of local communities.“ Due to the weather, the procession of gowned aca-

demics and graduands was cancelled but spirits were not dampened. Vice-Chancellor John Dewar and Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox congratulated students on their educational journey. “Graduation is a significant milestone in a student’s life. We want to celebrate this achievement by holding all of our graduation ceremonies in the heart of the city, taking full advantage of the beautiful new facilities,” Professor Dewar said.

Minister chooses Bendigo to announce funding

Consult with Chris and he will personally construct your dentures

An arts epicentre By CHRISTINE McGINN

BENDIGO has been dubbed regional Victoria’s artistic and cultural epicentre after a visit from Creative Industries Minister Martin Foley. “The Bendigo Art Gallery is the best and the biggest gallery in regional Victoria,” Mr Foley said. He announced a $20 million regional arts and creativity fund as part of the upcoming state government budget. The four-year state government funding package aims to foster cultural activities across 40 regional galleries and performing arts centres across the state. “We encourage what has happened here in Bendigo as a model, where collaboration of the arts centres, galleries and the theatre can levered off greater benefit than just what we bring on our own. As we have

seen in Bendigo, if you work together, you get a better result,” Mr Foley said. Greater Bendigo City Futures director Stan Liacos said it was very special that the minister had chosen to make the announcement in Bendigo.

Bendigo Art Gallery director Karen Quinlan agreed the city’s future was very bright and was pleased with the funding announcement. While the details of the funding application process are yet to be formed, Mr Foley said

We are the arts capital of regional Australia “It is proof that Bendigo has well and truly convinced Victoria and increasingly Australia, that we are the arts capital of regional Australia,” Mr Liacos said. “We are very proud of our achievements. We have got a very strong point but you never take your foot off the accelerator in business.”

grants would be given on a “competitive basis”. “We will make sure that is done in a nonbureaucratic way that focuses on the artists and the cultural content is the key, not filling out forms,” he said. The funding package also includes a new touring strategy to bring major exhibitions, per-

formances and programs to regional Victoria from leading arts organisations including the National gallery of Victoria. The Regional Centre of Culture program will shine light on “a particular Victorian region, attract tourism and deliver a lasting legacy”. “We will work with local performing arts centres and galleries to bring forward the best of what we have across Victoria,” Mr Foley said. Five regional performing arts centre or galleries will be given the chance to deliver a twoyear intensive audience engagement strategy in the Full House pilot program. Communities with fewer than 1500 people will also be able to apply for a grant to support their arts and develop local skills in the Small Town Transformation initiative.

‘Time to sign’

DRIVING FORCE: Lisa Chesters with models of Thales’ Bushmasters. By CHRISTINE McGINN

www.bendigomagazine.com.au

FEDERAL Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters is urging Defence Minister Kevin Andrews to sign the contract for the locally-made Hawkei. Thales has developed and tested the next generation of light Protected Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) – the Hawkei. Ms Chesters fears the Department of Defence contract for 1300 combat vehicles, under project LAND 121 Phase Four, has been scrapped. “Maintaining a heavy industrial base, including the skilled workers here in Bendigo, has important strategic implications for Australia, therefore, we must not allow this industry to die,” she said.

Ms Chesters said Thales Bendigo has successfully manufactured Australian Defence Force equipment and armoured vehicles including the Bushmaster. “I am concerned the Abbott Government is taking too long to make a decision on Hawkei,” she said. “I fear that further delays may risk the shutdown of our Bendigo Thales manufacturing facility. “My understanding is that a contract to manufacture the Hawkei needs to be signed in the first half of 2015 to ensure the sustainability of the facility. “That’s why I am calling on the Defence Minister to act now and sign this contract as

soon as possible.” But a spokesperson for Mr Andrews said there had been no delay in the government’s consideration of the LAND 121 Phase Four project. “This project is on track for government consideration in the second half of this year, as has always been the case,” the spokesperson said. “Does Ms Chesters need to be reminded that it was her government that ripped $16 billion from defence – reducing defence spending as a percentage of GDP? “Over the forward estimates the Abbott government will invest at least $3.8 billion in defence materiel acquisition and sustainment in Victoria.”

LEARNING: PepperGreen farm.

Gardening benefits An excellent example of the therapeutic benefits of gardening is currently on display at the PepperGreen Farm in North Bendigo. Under the auspices of Continuing Education, a unique program called Sowing seeds, Growing people is giving a great deal of satisfaction to several enthusiastic students. The students who are studying Horticulture as part of Certificate 1 Work Education are rightly proud of the amazingly range of fresh vegetables they have cultivated. Their garden is a wonderful rich mass of carrots, cauliflowers and all sorts of fresh vegetables. And every so often the students gather up their fresh veggies and make themselves a delicious lunch. Or they will take the produce home to their families where the food is shared at

home. One of the students Lindsay Knox said he loves gardening and his mother reports that he has become increasingly talkative since he started the course. Another student, Simone Baird, says she particularly enjoys planting and picking the vegetables. Their teacher Leigh Somerville says there are 10 units in the course which has six core units and four electives. Leigh said the course also entails excursions to local restaurants and gardens. He said the course aims to “grow” the participants, build community partnerships and provide skills and experiences. The course runs for two days a week, six hours a day. There will be a new intake of students next semester. For further information contact 5445 9880.

A CITY landmark dismantled in 1906 is set to return to the streets of Bendigo. Installed in 1881, the Vahland-designed public drinking fountain sat at the junction of Bridge Street and Pall Mall and together with the Alexandra Fountain was intended to visually balance Pall Mall, while also forming a triangle of fountains with the Cascades in Rosalind Park. It will be restored to mark the centenary of the death of prolific architect William Charles Vahland. It was used for horses, dogs and humans and the multi-faceted fountain was made of granite and featured four gas lights atop a central column. Water flowed out of the mouths of four metal lions into large granite basins. City of Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Peter Cox said the fountain is like a missing piece of a puzzle. “The drinking fountain was dismantled in 1906 to make way for the Discovery of Gold monument that is still in place today. Parts of the fountain are either lost or broken and what is left has been in storage for a number of years,” Cr Cox said. “It would be wonderful to see this fountain restored and reinstated along Pall Mall during a time that celebrates the legacy of Vahland. Naturally, there is much

It isn’t just a Vahland masterpiece, it also has great significance because the granite elements were made by another prominent local architect of the time, William Beebe, and local

ironmonger James Connelly created the gas light fittings.” Throughout May the 2015 National Trust Heritage Festival will recognise, celebrate and communicate the achievements of Vahland. To make it easy for people to see the talents of the German migrant, the council, supported by the National Trust and Bendigo Bank, have prepared five maps that take in the architectural highlights of Vahland’s ca-

A PAIR of powerful owls are being lured to Rosalind Park with the installation of a large nesting box. City of Greater Bendigo parks and natural reserves manager Simon Harrison says the raptor needs large hollows to raise its young. “Unfortunately suitable natural hollows large enough for this species are in short supply so the nest boxes are the next best thing.

Security Doors and Maintenance

62 Powells Ave Strathdale Ph: 5444 4807 Mobile: 0409 251 576

The nest boxes are designed to replicate this habitat requirement and are large enough to accommodate two adult birds and their young,” Mr Harrison said. “As an apex predator, the powerful owl is a hunter to many and prey to none. It can devour a possum, flying fox or medium sized bird each evening which is a natural way to manage the number of these species in urban parks.” Park ranger Miles Geldard says the species (ninox strenua)

feeds on prey during the day, however is most active at night. “In box ironbark country like that surrounding Bendigo the owls may have a home range of nearly 5000 hectares. The first records of a powerful owl using nest boxes came back in 2006 in Blackburn, Victoria. Since then reports have been growing about the owls moving into suburban areas around Sydney and Canberra,” he said. Mr Geldard hopes that intro-

ducing the nesting boxes will help allow the owls to be removed from the threatened species list. “This news is in turn attracting the attention of bird enthusiasts as the owls are listed as threatened on the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 and vulnerable in NSW and Victoria,” Mr Geldard said. “The council has also installed similar nesting boxes in trees at Crusoe Reservoir, Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye in an effort to attract powerful owls.”

Flying doctors land at Glenvale School BENDIGO’S Glenvale School had a Flying Doctors stop over last week, with a visit from the Look Up! In The Sky education program. The visit featured the aeromedical simulator and a lifesized replica of a Flying Doctors’ plane fuselage fitted out with communications and medical equipment. The children had a handson experience of the important work that the Royal Flying Doctor Service does throughout Australia. Students were encouraged to climb inside the simulator fuselage and see how the medical equipment worked, were strapped into a stretcher, tried on the headphones and spoke in the microphones.

OPEN DAY

The Look Up! In The Sky education program explains the important role the RFDS has played in Australia since it started in 1928, and includes key learning areas such as history, geography, maths, English and health. Today the RFDS attends more 295,000 patients annually, or more than 800 every day, performs around 37,000 aeromedical evacuations and conducts about 15,000 healthcare clinics per year. Look Up! In The Sky program manager Tom Ryan said kids love learning about the service and their favourite part of the program is the aero-medical simulator. “The simulator is a life size version of an RFDS plane com-

a Flying Doctor plane.” Mr Ryan said public support and generous donations by Victorians had also played a crucial role in keeping the Flying Doctor flying.

At Girton we strive to send young adults into a world where they have the skills, poise, confidence and emotional intelligence to lead happy, productive and successful lives. Girton students are immersed in a culture where: • Children come from a broad range of backgrounds and circumstances • Every child is known and nurtured • Achievement and a positive attitude are socially acceptable • Students are proud of their successes and their school • Individual pathways are explored and developed

Visit us on Open Day, Friday May 22nd any time between 9.00 and noon and see us in action, or call our Registrar, Mrs Louise McWaters on 5441 3114. www.girton.vic.edu.au

Op shop backs local charities THE grand opening of the Giving and Living Opportunity Store was held on Monday morning. Supporting the Bendigo hospital and local charities, the store will donate 10 per cent of profits to local and other charities.

Shop coordinator Evelyn Robertson said there was a great turnout for the grand opening, with numbers expected to remain high for the rest of the week. “We are trying to support the local community, with a focus on local values,” Ms

Robertson said. “We have good quality second-hand clothing and a variety of electrical items that are all tested before sale.” The shop is at Shed 3/75 Beischer Street, Strathdale, open Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm.

BENDIGO House has reopened after receiving an extensive upgrade. The refurbishment of the seven-bedroom residence will ensure optimum comfort for people with acquired brain injuries, disabilities or complex needs. General manager of Healthscope Debbie Beeton says it is important to residents and families that the accommodation includes home comforts. “Younger adults with a severe brain injury or complex needs may still be physically fit, but are psychologically and socially affected with unique and individual care needs,” she said. “As part of the client’s ongoing therapy they participate in all household activities as well as engaging in their own interests. Bendigo House has ample space for entertainment of family and friends, and it is always encouraged.” House residents are provided with their own bedroom, commu-

More independent clients are also catered for with a fully self-contained unit. “Our experienced support personnel are on hand 24/7 to provide residents with personal support and assistance to meet their individual support needs and goals, ultimately to help make

steps towards independence,” Ms Beeton said. Each client has their own support plan which considers cultural requirements, and includes involvement in educational courses, community activities and employment. Healthscope Independence Services also has availability for clients in the local region seeking in-home services with attendant care.

Helping hand for Vanuatu

VANUATU has a special place in the heart of Victory Christian College, so when Cyclone Pam devastated the area the school was quick to respond. In the week following the cyclone, students held a number of fundraisers including a Cent-A-Line where students were encouraged to bring any loose change to school. From the combined fundraisers, students raised more than $3000, which went towards the purchase of school supplies and teacher resources for the Victory School of Hope located in Blacksand, just out of Port Vila. Victory School of Hope is in its fourth year of operation, and has 120 students enrolled from prep to year 3. Victory Christian College supports the Victory School of Hope, through teacher training, donations of uniform and school supplies. In 2014, 28 students were involved in a missions trip to the school, and spent a week working with the teachers and students at Blacksand. In addition to raising the funds, three teachers and a number of families connected to the college, joined Victory Church for seven days, helping the community of Blacksand rebuild their homes. In all, 38 people from all over Australia joined the group and $54,000 was raised in one week, to assist with the rebuilding project. With the money raised through Victory Christian College, the teachers were able to buy new resources for the school, which were destroyed in the cyclone.

CHAIRMAN LEAVES HEALTH BOARD BENDIGO Health board chairman Michael Langdon has resigned. Dr Langdon stood down from the Bendigo Health board due to personal reasons last week, effective immediately. Dr Langdon said it had been an honour and a privilege to serve his local community in this capacity. He was appointed in July 2011 after serving on the board between 1994 and 2004. Acting chief executive officer Andrew Collins said Dr Langdon had made a significant contribution to Bendigo Health as chair. Sue Clarke will become the acting chair until a new chairperson is appointed.

RAISING FUNDS THE annual Mother’s Day plant sale will be held this Saturday at the Bendigo Botanic Gardens, White Hills. The sale will be at the Napoleon Crescent entrance from 9am to 2pm.

ANOTHER annual fund raiser will be held on May 17. The Baseball Memorial Cup has been set up to raise money for The Asthma Foundation of Victoria in honour of Matthew’s Legacy. Matt Lawry was a popular local baseball player who died, aged 34, from an asthma attack. All clubs within the Baseball Association will be attending the ceremony which commences at 11.50 am.

GROUP EFFORT: The students and visitors at Victory School of Hope. The school building also received a facelift. It was painted inside and out, school desks were repaired and storage cupboards were installed, to house all of the existing and newly bought school supplies. During their time in Blacksand, the teachers were also able to assist in the construction of three large buildings, which will house nine families. The teachers, Kathryn Tatt, Ebony Stephen and Jessica Brennan said it was hard work, but it was so rewarding. “These people have very little but are appreciative of all that they do have, and were so

Getting on with the job

The war continued

As mayor, I would like to express my disappointment at last week’s front page article (Bendigo Weekly) and the sensationalist way it depicted Greater Bendigo City Council. It’s hardly news that councillors don’t always agree on everything and most people would be dismayed if they did. After all, the sign of a strong and robust democracy is having different ideas and opinions expressed around the table. The same is true for other levels of government and in boardrooms across Australia. To be criticised for meeting to discuss differences is difficult to understand. The real issue is whether or not these differences are impacting on council’s ability to make good decisions for the community and there is no evidence they are. Council has voted to back a range of recreational projects including Canterbury Park and Barrack Reserve which, when complete, will become a sports hubs for the region. It has supported the Bendigo Airport expansion, Bendigo Botanic Gardens and Bendigo Stadium expansion, plus a renewed focus on everyday services such as roads, drains and footpaths. Council has endorsed the Waste and Resource Management Strategy and the Residential Development Strategy and is advancing the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy. Together, these strategies will shape the look and feel of Greater Bendigo for many decades to come. In other words, council is getting on with the job it was elected to do. Cr Peter Cox, Mayor, Greater Bendigo City Council

Anzac Day quite rightly commemorates the lives of the brave men who died fighting for the honour of Australia, at Gallipoli. Many of those brave men who did not fall at Gallipoli went on to fight on the Western Front, and again we honour those who fell there. But doesn’t some honour go too, to those who fought all through all, of those battles and yet came home? They were left to carry with them their wounds, their traumas, their shell-shock and their gassing with mustard gas. The war did not end for them on the signing of the armistice; they waited weeks, even months, if in hospitals, to embark for home and then spent months at sea on the return journey. The government didn’t welcome them home as heroes to be given back their jobs, their pride of place in the country they fought to save. Many of them were sick of mind and embittered. They brought the war home with them and waged it in their most terrible remembrance times on their families. We never knew what they went through for they could not talk about it, but throughout our childhood we felt the brunt of their horror. Now 92 years-of-age I am learning from TV programs what my father, as a stretcher bearer, went through. But there is no one who cares to take me anymore to dawn services and I am left alone to feel the despair of never having been able to bring comfort or help to my father, but rather to have feared and hated him. I believe I and my sisters were an extended part of that war.

Calling a spade a spade

George Johnson. George went on the first boat to leave Australian shores. He went through the campaign on Gallipoli and then was sent on for the rest of the war in France. He dreaded the journey home by sea which had been foreign to him until he left by ship to go to war. On his return no one pitied his shell-shocked mind and the government that should have thanked and welcomed him home could well have been another aspect of the enemy. No one told him to stop fighting and he never did, he made enemies for the rest of this life as the army had trained his mind to do. He died hated and feared instead of thanked and loved for his traumatised life. Iona Beth Williams, Bendigo

Rarely have I read such an accurate editorial than that which appeared in the Bendigo Weekly, May 1, 2015, titled “disunity is death”. For not only did it accurately summarise a number of facts that have plagued Bendigo council since 2012, it succinctly pointed out what must be urgently resolved by our elected councillors for the betterment of the City of Greater Bendigo, it also pointed out the obvious way ahead. I hope all councillors and also senior council officers read the editorial and act accordingly. It is refreshing to see a newspaper editor prepared “to call a spade a spade”.

More than a complaint A number of recent letters in the local press appear to miss the point of George Flack’s endeavours. His point was about the health and safety issues associated with the unfinished or incomplete works. There is no way you or I could get a Certificate of Occupancy for our home if essential works such as an Electrical Certificate of Compliance or a Plumbing Certificate of Compliance were not properly certificated. In fact, if you or I did so we would probably be prosecuted. I thought Mr Flack provided good evidence that the works (some electrical wiring and some plumbing) was incomplete. I would ask the authors of these letters, if someone were seriously injured or electrocuted and died, what would be your reaction be? This is far more than a “petty little complaint”. I thought Mr Flack made some valid points about possible consequences and the risks to the lives of performers and people attending Ulumbarra. There were thousands of column centimetres devoted to the Ulumbarra by City Futures and council officers in the local newspapers, one could be forgiven for even thinking BSSC or the state government had any involvement.

I suppose that council officers are now about to claim “it wasn’t us, it was the government that was responsible”. Well that won’t wash. The council is responsible for the overall management of Ulumbarra. Put simply the haste to have Ulumbarra ready for the City Futures “grand opening” over-rode the need to have the complex safe. City Futures sure was “offensive in our implementation”. Colin Burns, Strathfieldsaye

Education the key In rural and regional communities, people repeatedly tell me the drug ice is causing serious damage. The statistics say the numbers of ice users has doubled since 2010. I’ve taken a personal interest in this topic for quite some time, and now, as Minister responsible for drugs policy, the issue of ice is a key priority. Last year I directed the Australian National Advisory Council on Drugs (ANACAD) to make ice its number one issue. In March at the UN Conference on narcotics in Vienna, I had member countries agree to share research and cooperate on this issue. At countless police stations I’m told the same thing: “We can’t police our way out of this”. We must

reduce demand for ice; so we also need education and treatment services to get people off ice. I’ve visited treatment facilities, and I’ve seen that ice cuts down those with money and those without (who often then turn to crime); mums and dads as well as youth – people from all walks of life. Every community I visit seems to have a tragic ice story – recently I heard about a brother and sister suiciding after becoming hooked on ice. The recent Australian Crime Commission report confirmed organised crime gangs are targeting rural and regional Australia. The Prime Minister, myself and the Minister for Justice have announced a taskforce to report to government on the ice situation – what’s working and what’s not – and produce an interim report by mid-year. This will help us build a National Ice Action Strategy. Members of the community: have your say. Government can’t solve this on its own – this problem reaches deep into the community and we need community help to tackle it. Submissions to the taskforce can be made at www.dpmc.gov.au/ taskforces/national-ice-taskforce Fiona Nash, Assistant Minister For Health

New look at care HOME and Community Care workers across Greater Bendigo would have breathed a sigh of relief at yesterday’s confirmation that the City of Greater Bendigo had opted to continue delivering the service, and more importantly, keep the 165 jobs involved in doing so. Council will now look at putting in place further efficiencies to try and make the HACC service cost neutral and fully funded by contributions from the state and federal governments and client fees. While that might appear to be a tough task given the cost shifting that has been the benchmark of this sector for too long, a federal election must be held before January 17, 2017, meaning there’s plenty of opportunity to put future

BendigoWeekly

Editorial Comment HACC funding into the boiling pot of election issues for the various parties to consider. It might not dominate the agenda, but it should play an important part in it. HACC clients are among our community’s most vulnerable. They probably don’t shape up as being particularly vocal about their circumstances, but they place enormous value on the quality of serv-

ice they receive, as should the rest of us. The council admits closing down the HACC service and making 165 staff redundant would cost more than keeping the service open for another year, and given the lack of detail and uncertainty about exactly how the NDIS will operate and how it will impact on local government, council has effectively brought itself time to find a better way and some savings along the way. Having laid bare its concerns and then re-considered its intentions, council has also committed to a future review of its HACC service in December 2017. What happens between now and then will largely determine what happens beyond that date.

LA Trobe University Bendigo plays an important role in Victoria’s tertiary education landscape as a provider of a diverse range of tertiary education. In Greater Bendigo, La Trobe is not only a major education provider for more than 5000 local and international students, but also a major corporate citizen. And it’s not just the economic benefits that flow from having the university here that make it so important – it is the research and the educational and cultural benefits that are also vital to the wellbeing and development of this region. Quality education, training and skills development are the linchpin to the social and economic fabric of our region. I believe the key to our region’s future jobs is education. The key to your future is putting your learning into practice combined with your ability to think outside normal practice or thinking outside the square. Last year the City of Greater Bendigo adopted an economic development strategy, based on a diversified economy with one of its key aims being to promote

Greater Bendigo as a celebrated centre for education and as a “university city”. As major employers and critical stakeholders in building the capacity of current and future generations, our schools, tertiary institutions and training providers are significant attractors for local, national and international students. Our commitment extends to the ongoing development and maintenance of important civic facilities

Bendigo into a celebrated “university city” through active marketing of both La Trobe and Monash universities in Bendigo. Council is also supportive of the development of more university student accommodation in Bendigo, something that is desperately required. The ongoing development of La Trobe University’s proposed medical school in Bendigo in association with a range of

La Trobe University is a much valued and important education provider that have dual community and education functions such as the recent major expansion and refurbishment of the Bendigo central library; the development of this outstanding community theatre, Ulumbarra, in association with Bendigo Senior Secondary College and the emerging alliance for a proposed Bendigo Art Institute between La Trobe University and Bendigo Art Gallery. It is facilities such as these that I hope will entice you to remain in Bendigo or encourage you to return at some time in the future. Greater Bendigo is also supporting the development and promotion of

other partners is a major aspiration of the university that offers many medium to long term benefits for our region and for future students. Health is a growing industry sector for Greater Bendigo, and 6500, or around 17 per cent, of greater Bendigo’s total workforce is in health care and social assistance – an increase of over 1000 people since the 2006 census. A thousand jobs will be created when the hospital opens in 2017. The provision of vocational training and apprenticeships is important for our region and council is advocating to the Victorian government for more

resources for the BendigoKangan TAFE to ensure the organisation can provide quality vocational training in the region. Council also supports the development of Bendigo-Kangan TAFE Institute’s proposed centre of excellence in health and allied health related vocational training to compliment La Trobe’s courses. La Trobe University is a much valued and important education provider and corporate citizen and the City of Greater Bendigo is very proud of the excellent relationship it has forged with the university over many years. I hope you treasure the memories of your learning experience at La Trobe. The learning of course must continue if you are going to value add to companies and organisations in which you work. It is a thirst for new knowledge that will give you fulfilment in life and an income to satisfy your needs. Combined they will motivate you to go beyond your comfort zone. Again, congratulations on your great achievements and may you encourage others to follow in your footsteps.

Tools of the trade It’s that time of year for a spot of wood gathering

HE long suffering Mrs Kendall decided it was time for collection of firewood. I have to admit I am someone who gathers it as needed, a bit at a time, but this year we went bulk. Last weekend our friend Rosie Lee was visiting so Mrs K decided that was the ideal time for forced labour. After a hearty egg and bacon breakfast we staggered into the yard at about 10am. The plan was to pick up small loads in a ute, bring them back, cut them to fire box size and then stack them in a trailer to be kept in a shed. Good plan, and I set about preparing the chainsaws which have been resting since last winter. I have a large and small chainsaw because the small one was not big enough, and it is quite handy to have the choice. We also unwrapped the big new toy, the block splitter. I had decided on an electric one based on price and noise. It has a mighty seven tonne cracking power. Mrs K was still on the phone by the time I was sorted out,

SHOW TIME: Cr Helen Leach launched the event.

Eisteddfod returns

and we finally headed off in search of fallen wood. Our red gums had been generous, and there was plenty to gather. On the first cut with the big chainsaw and I discovered the blade was blunt. Easily fixed, I thought, as I rummaged through the collection of chains. Plenty of small chains, no more large chains. Looks like I am down to one saw. Rosie Lee was working solidly, moving and stacking wood. In the absence of a cutting tool for the moment, I started splitting blocks. Now when you are messing with seven tonnes of power and red gum you need to take care,

and I did. But I soon got into the stride of the machine and was producing beautiful fireboxsized chunks of wood and the trailer was gradually filling. Rosie Lee was doing most of the fetching and carrying of the wood, while Mrs K was attempting to cut some of the smaller branches with a battery saw. Then it was time for tea. After a break I was back on the block splitter enjoying every minute, apart from some of the more spectacular work cracks which sent chips in all directions. Mrs K had decided it was time to make scones and disappeared into the kitchen.

Finally we were down to long but thinnish branches, time to call in the small chainsaw. Checked for chains, plenty. Filled up with fuel, and then went to fill up the chain lubrication. The cap snapped in my hand. The small chainsaw was now useless, but with plenty of chains, and the large chainsaw had no sharp blades or the tools to sharpen. Because one is large and one small, the caps are not interchangeable so I was stuck with two useless tools. Probably how Rosie Lee felt. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

CELEBRATING its 90th year, the Bendigo Competitions Society Inc’s (BCSI) annual eisteddfod has kicked off in style. More than 3000 performers will take to the stage across the eight weeks of the eisteddfod. City of Greater Bendigo councillor Helen Leach officially launched the event last Friday at the Bendigo library. The eisteddfod’s first event, the piano competition, came alive last weekend at the Bendigo South East Secondary College. The eisteddfod runs every weekend through to the June school holidays with entries arriving from across the state. The Foundry Dance Championship will again conclude the 2015 eisteddfod across June and July. “Local eisteddfods are

the events that give young musicians, singers and dancers the opportunity to perform in front of an audience and to receive professional feedback,” BCSI music coordinator David Hague said. “Most professional entertainers in Australia count local eisteddfods in their early experience. Adam Lyons who is producing the new show ‘Ned’ came through the Bendigo eisteddfod as did Dr Matthew Van Emmerik who is world renown as a euphonium player, musical director and tutor.” Mr Hauge said it was exciting to have the school choir competition staged at the new Ulumbarra Theatre on June 12 Locals are welcome to attend any session with entry costing $8 for an adult and discounts for seniors and students.

ON THE CART: Elisha Bahen.

OMBINING history with innovation is key to success. Bendigo cafe Percy and Percy has added an innovative new feature to their Hargreaves Street business, launching a bespoke mobile coffee cart crafted from the building’s original floor boards. The additional mobile coffee counter has been created to service the high customer traffic that the café is experiencing on weekends, providing a second order point in the Percy and Percy courtyard. Business owner Elisha Bahen said the concept allows faster

and more accessible service to patrons. “We have known for a while that our take away customers need a faster and easier way to order and receive their coffee,” she said. The outdoor cart was built from recycled timbers and materials salvaged from the business’s pre-opening fit out. “My father’s friend worked in the building back in the 1950s when the business was a grocery store,” Elisha said. “One day he said that he had some old photos we could use, which we have now featured all over the store. Percy and Percy open from 7am every day, and is located on the corner of Hargreaves and Baxter streets in Bendigo.

Moo music for the fans T

HERE is nothing that entices Melburnians and locals to party in the “country” quite as much as Groovin the Moo. The all-day event brought some of the biggest names in international and local music together last Saturday. But for the 12 Melburnians that ventured up the Calder Freeway to my home in Bendigo, it was a perfect regional experience. After hitching a ride to the Prince of Wales Showgrounds, the group quickly navigated their way though the crowd to glimpse 2014 J Award for Unearthed Artist of the Year’s Meg Mac. Australian hip-hop group One Day quickly commanded

the stage with a change of pace in beats. But in a stellar performance, Sticky Fingers left nothing behind, except their clothes. Crowds clamoured to secure their front row positions to be up close for tunes from the five-man band with the favourite Gold Snafu winning over fans. The Preatures were the surprise package of the day with their rock pop tunes, leaving fans wanting more. With a stage change, Canadian artist Peaches led the charge with her pop tunes and shock-glam approach to performing. With the group split on their favourite acts, it was agreed New Zealand siblings

Broods were the perfect way to relax into the electronic beats of RL Grime. Having played at Coachella, fans packed in under the tent to catch a glimpse of the dark and rap inspired sounds of the American. Headliner Flight Facilities hit new heights with the crowd poring over their dance and electronic tunes

before having to jet off home. For the sixth year, GTM Bendigo sold out in a flash with revellers eager to get their hands on the much prized tickets. But with tickets to the last GTM in Townsville still available for Sunday, music fans must act fast to join the festivities. Or just hold tight until next May. - Christine McGinn

Theatre there is a stunning photographic exhibition. The Hunters of the Skies features raptors which are found in the Bendigo region.

Know your regulations By NICK ATYEO

WHOPPER: Steve Charles’ recent 2.7kg brown trout.

Fly-fishing nirvana By STEVE CHARLES

T’S been a busy month as Autumn progresses and the weather starts to cool. There has been plenty of action to be had for trout anglers on the north east Victorian streams with enough warmth in the days to get the insects buzzing and trout on the move. Cooler nights also mean our lakes closer to home will be starting to cool down and that will encourage fish to feed closer to the edges once again. With a lack of rainfall in recent months many of our central and western Victorian lakes and reservoirs are at low levels. When next we get some decent rainfall and the water levels begin to rise, trout should begin to forage along the edges, hunting in newly submerged territory. Target grassy bottoms along the edges at dusk and dawn and look for inflows such as creeks or even subtle soaks as these areas provide good hunting grounds for trout. I’ve been trying to fit in as many trips as I can before the annual closed season on trout streams diverts my attention to the lakes closer to home. I’ve fished the Thornton through to the Eskdale region and I never fail to be amazed by the beauty of the places my passion for fly fishing takes me and the fantastic trout in unlikely places. Last weekend I caught and released 50 trout ranging in size from palm-sized

perfection to half kilo-sized, and one whopping 2.7kg brown with some of the most beautiful markings I’ve ever seen. The big brown was in a deep pool, hiding under a log in a little stream. Keeping low and quiet I flicked my flies two metres past the log and into the current. Keeping the fly line off the surface to achieve a drag-free drift, I watched my dry fly drift towards and along the log. Then with a flash of golden-brown the big trout seized the nymph suspended under the dry fly, and it was on. Using very light fly fishing gear I had a real battle on my hands with a fish of his size. He sped around the pool and back under the log and out the other side. Usually this would be game-over as the three kilogram line I was using would snap if it became caught up in the fallen timber. Lowering the rod tip and keeping the line free of the snag and applying as much tension as I dared, I somehow managed to turn his head and in a heart-stopping moment he shot back through the timber and into open water. He was in the net shortly after and following a few photos and a quick weighing he was released again. If you’re interested in learning more about fly fishing check out the Bendigo and District Fly Fishing Club website: www.bdffc.weebly.com or find them on Facebook.

AY is resulting in increased activity for anglers looking for that elusive Murray cod. Autumn has long been regarded as the time to chase the better quality fish and with the general boat traffic declining as the temperature drops, making now the ideal time to chase this iconic species. And with the Murray River only a hour away it’s within easy distance for a day trip as Bendigo’s Sam Barkla discovered last weekend when she returned home ecstatic after landing her very first Murray cod. Sam’s 60 centimetre cod took a liking to a trolled diving lure. Anglers are also reminded to familiarise themselves with the current Victorian and New South Wales regulations as fisheries have recently detected a higher than normal level of non-compliance. The on-the-spot fine for taking undersize Murray cod is $443, as is the fine for failing to retain cod in whole or carcass form.

A west Wimmera man faces hundreds of dollars in on-the-spot fines for allegedly retaining three undersized cod while another fisherman had his boat seized upstream of Nagambie over the Easter long weekend for setting and retrieving set lines. You can ensure all Victorians have fish for the future by adhering to the fishing regulations and reporting any suspicious activity day or night, 365 days a year by phoning the Victorian state-wide 13FISH (13 3474) number. Reports from the community have led to a number of convictions. Meanwhile round three of the Central Victorian Lure Casters Super Series saw 89 anglers experience tough conditions at Bonnie Doon in April. Perfect weather didn’t help those who enjoyed the series’ renowned hospitality, with only six Murray cod and three golden perch caught, along with three trout and 20 redfin. However, several anglers

The last employee T

HE Australian Swiss Manufacturing Company was established in February 1931 largely through the efforts of the Promote Bendigo and Northern League and the negotiations in Paris by George Lansell MLC (later Sir George). At the meeting in Paris, Lansell was introduced to Mr J Tschudin, who later came to Bendigo along with four other men, three of them being accompanied with their wives and children. Soon after the Swiss watch case manufacturing experts arrived, the equipment and machinery was already in transit. However they bought one machine manufactured in Spottswood, which was also for the new factory in Hargreaves Street. Colin Wearne, a local lad, was the last employee to be placed on the pay roll of the Australian Swiss Manufacturing Company. It was in December 1957 that Mr Wearne, at age 15, was given a trial, Harold Draper was then the foreman of the factory.

Mr Wearne must have impressed his employer in this, his first job, as he was offered an apprenticeship. Mr Wearne was born on June 16, 1942, his family were very pleased that their son had now become an apprenticed tradesman. When Mr Wearne started his apprenticeship there were four other people working on the watch case manufacturing as well as a person in the office. I had the privilege of interviewing Mr Wearne eight years ago in preparation for this series of articles. His memory of the machinery, its placement and the manufacturing process had not diminished. When the factory was established it was through an investment cost of £7000. A proportion of this came from the local directors, whom I have already profiled, and the balance from the Swiss employees. The value of the imported specialised machinery was part of the total amount just mentioned. The floor of the

factory was asphalted with tar from the Bendigo Gas Company, the machinery was electrically powered, some driven by overhead shafting with attached pulleys and belting. The small bench-top lathes were candidates for the overhead system, there were three grinders, rough, heavy, and one with a magnetic table. A large turret lathe and burnishing machine stood apart, there were other burnishing machines near the rear of the building. Several rotary presses and a further three smaller turret machines were also part of the workshop. The Spottswood machine pressed out the cases close to the left hand corner end of the factory and nearby was the case hardening area. Copper, brass and stainless steel was used for the various parts of the watch cases, one person was in charge of the gold plating for some of the cases, in that area there was also an acid bath for final cleaning before plating. The brass and copper

was for the sides of the cases and the bezels which held the glass. When the cases were completed the imported movements were fitted by the manager and the manufactured product was ready for the wholesalers. The main local outlets for the now market-ready watches was Prescott and Dawe and their subsidiary in Pall Mall, White’s Jewellers. The Australian Swiss Manufacturing Company closed in June 1960, Mr Wearne then had his apprenticeship transferred to the Commonwealth Ordnance Factory in Bendigo. He died on September 9, 2011.

ILBIRNIE is a large wheat, canola and sheep property of some 3500 hectares in the Berrimal district near Wedderburn. The land was originally selected in 1869 by Joseph Lockhart and his wife Julie (nee McSweeny). The authors are keen to describe the Lockhart family as caretakers rather than owners. As they say, the land has been under the care of the Aboriginal population“for millennia”. Joseph Lockhart was born in 1828 in Armagh, Ireland. His wife Julie McSweeny was also Irish but her family came to Australia via America. Their respective families had tent stores in Wedderburn which supplied goods to the diggers. Their marriage was, to say the least, productive and the Kilbirnie story is made the more interesting in that initially Joseph spent much of his time teaching while his wife planted fruit trees and vegetables, milked the cows and organised gangs of men to clear their land for grazing and growing. It’s an arrangement which many farmers continue to employ today – although usually it’s the wife who goes out to work while the husband tries to

keep the farm viable. From this enterprising start the Lockharts established an impressive dynasty – today they have some two thousand descendants and Kilbirnie is still viable farm land. The Caretakers of Kilbirnie has been written around three basic themes. The history of Kilbirnie itself, the history of the Lockhart family, especially those who stayed connected to the land, and the history of the schools in the district. What were the difficulties the pioneers faced? How well did they understand the land they were trying to cultivate? And finally, six generations later, how far did the land carry the Lockhart descendants whose lives have branched out with infinite variety? Also of interest are the many photographs of the Lockhart family, their land, their homes and the institutions which flourished under their patronage.

All set for some funds By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Tennis Association is holding out hope it will receive funding for its proposed Nolan Street complex redevelopment despite being overlooked in the City of Greater Bendigo’s 2015/16 budget. The facility is in need of a makeover, with both its courts and clubhouse facilities requiring an upgrade to meet competition standards. The BTA’s redevelopment plans included construction of a redeveloped tennis events and community hub building, the upgrade of four courts to a plexicushion surface in line with the Australian Open Grand Slam court and new court lighting and spectator seating. BTA executive officer Leon Retallick said that after having proposed federal funding removed in 2013 and now being left out of the budget by council, its existing $3 million of funds from the state government and Tennis Australia is at risk, as is the project itself. “We have been working for a long time on this project and it’s had its trials and tribulations, that is for sure,” he said. “We have had federal money

and lost it, we currently have state government money but we are looking down the barrel of potentially losing that now too. “We have been working with council for a long time and they have been great. But we are not going to hide, we were very disappointed not to receive an allocation towards the build of this project and it really does jeopardise the state government money.” Tennis is the city’s 11th most popular physical activity according to the City of Greater Bendigo’s recent Active Living Census, coming in ahead of other popular sports such as basketball, soccer and cricket. Retallick said the facility had not received any major funding from any level of government since opening over 30 years ago. “As it stands, council are working on the detailed designs, but we have no money to progress any further than that and build the project,” Retallick said. “The other challenge is going to be that the funding we have from the state government, our understanding is that it still available. “The question for us is, if we are not successful in getting anything

HOPEFUL: BTA executive officer Leon Retallick and players from the ladies midweek pennant. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN out of this council budget, are the state government still going to hold over the money they have promised? “Are Tennis Australia, who have invested almost half a million dollars and have 75 other facilities similar to ours around the country, are they going to be happy to hold the money over? “We can sit here and continually have a discussion about it and see money lost to the project or we can

get on the front foot and try to get council and the councillors to come to the party. That is why we have decided to put this to the community.” Retallick and the BTA have put the call out for members and the community in general to make a submission to council before next Friday’s deadline for budget submissions, by emailing budget@bendigo.vic.gov.au. “The investment we are looking

for from council is about $1m, and they understand that,” he said. “We thought we were a part of their priority projects, and we were mentioned economic development strategy in terms of what tennis brings to the city. “We seem to be in every major piece of documented information that comes out of council in terms of infrastructure for the future of Bendigo, except for the budget.”

New era for basketball in Bendigo

EXPERIENCED: Simon Pritchard.

New coach for Spirit From Page 36 “We are very excited to have Simon here, he has got some great plans for the future of this club,” Bickley said. “We are looking forward to working with him, not only within a club environment but though greater Bendigo, the region and the state.” After the defensive-minded play of Bernie Harrower proved successful in the club’s first eight years, Pritchard is hoping a new up-tempo style will bring similar results. “One of our challenges is that we need to be able to get Sara Blicavs and Tessa Lavey in to get them to international

standard and help them to reach the Opals and be mainstays of that squad,” he said. “The international game is played in that first eight seconds, it is the style that the Opals play and it is the style that I enjoy coaching.” With Gabe Richards, Tessa Lavey, Sara Blicavs, Kelsey Griffin, Kelly Wilson and Belinda Snell under contract for next season, Pritchard believes the Spirit will once again be finals contenders. “I feel like the talent is there to compete and play in finals, for sure. We need to keep an eye to the future all the time, and we need to stay on that track at the moment,” he said.

BENDIGO will chalk up a first for local basketball in July, when the Bendigo Basketball Association holds its inaugural all-abilities basketball tournament. The BBA, in conjunction with the Bendigo Stadium and tournament sponsor the Borough Club, are behind the event, to be held on July 26 at the stadium. Bendigo has several teams partcipating in a local all-abilities competition, but the tournament is a first for the BBA. Started by Generals Basketball Club and co-ordinated by president Noel Hughes, the competition is now run by Bendigo Stadium staff and local players. “The sport of basketball has the ability to involve all our community and we look forward to the inaugural Borough Club Access All Abilities Tournament,” Bendigo Stadium sports and competitions manager Craig Green said. “You would not meet a more enthusiastic group of sportspeople and they are extremely excited about the event coming to Bendigo and the opportunity to play against teams from outside of Bendigo. “The event is not only being supported by our major sponsor the Borough Club but also the Bendigo office of Sport Focus who are providing valuable support in promoting the event to neighbouring country areas.” Entries for the tournament can be made by visiting www.bendigo. basketball.net.au

Pioneers aim to win By JOEL PETERSON

FOLLOWING a heartbreaking loss to ladder leader Eastern Ranges, Bendigo Pioneers coach Brett Henderson is hoping his side can translate its early season improvement into a win this weekend. The Pioneers went down to Eastern, the TAC Cup’s top side, by three points after leading at every change, the Ranges using a four goal to one burst in the last quarter to run over the top of the hosts. Despite losing the opening five games of the season, Bendigo has improved in every contest after being belted by Murray Bushrangers in the season opener. Henderson said this week that the performance against Eastern, a game in which Bendigo laid 83 tackles, proved the team had improved markedly but would not be resting on its laurels. “It’s an encouraging performance, but only if we back it up this weekend,” he said. “There’s lots of positives that have come out of that, but we have to build on those positives and make sure the next step is building on that promising performance.” Lachlan Tardrew has continued on his strong form last season – both with the Pioneers and Sandhurst

Bendigo sets its sights on Ballarat WITH the 2015 interleague campaign officially under way, Bendigo Football Netball League coach Rick Ladson is confident he has the squad to take it right up to arch rival Ballarat. The 70-man interleague squad had its first training session on Wednesday night, with more than 30 players in attendance.

What we want as a league... is to take it to the next level

HIGH MARK: Rhys Free booted three goals against Eastern.

in the Bendigo Football Netball League – giving the side plenty of run through the midfield averaging 28 disposals and 13 handball receives per game. Golden Square’s Jayden Burke has consistently been in the Pioneers’ best playing as a key defender, as has Leitchville-Gunbower product Marty Hore, while midfielder Tom Cole is averaging 25 touches and more than five tackles per game. “Lachie and Tom have

been great. Lachie has been in our best every week and Tom has been very good the two games we’ve had him. “Tom will be playing for Geelong in the VFL this weekend, and we are rapt to see our players progress. “(Burke and Hore) and probably two of the players that have really come on since the start of the season. We are starting to really rely upon them as far as consistency goes, and they have both been really good.”

The Pioneers take on Western Jets at Burbank Reserve this weekend who, like Bendigo, remain winless after five rounds. Henderson will not be taking the Jets lightly. “We have played five of the top seven sides in the opening few rounds, no doubt Western will be looking at us as a potential scalp too,” he said. “If we can settle really well early, we will be right on top of our game.”

Those named in the squad who will be unavailable for the May 23 clash at Eastern Oval include 2014 representatives Tim Martin, Stephen Milne and Corey Jones, but Ladson believes the mix of youth and experience is encouraging. “We were happy with the turn out, we know everyone has different work and family commitments during the week but the guys that weren’t here touched base to make sure we know they are

interested which is good,” he said. “It’s footy and injuries happen, and that’s why the squad is quite large. A lot of guys were selected that are a bit under done and we are waiting to see how they get through the next few weeks. “If they don’t come up there are plenty of young guys and plenty of enthusiastic older guys who are ready to step up. The response has been very good, and what we want as a league this year is to take it to the next level.” Bendigo will train at Castlemaine next Wednesday, before a final session on Thursday, May 21 at Golden Square. Ballarat named its squad of 45 on Sunday and included six players from the 2013 contest and fourteen players from the side of 23 that lost to Goulburn Valley last year. North Ballarat City teammates Derick Micallef and Ryan Hobbs, Sunbury’s Andrew Duhau, Redan’s Grant Bell and Darley’s Darren Leonard all played in 2013, while fomer Kyneton captain Shane Page and his Darley teammate Rhys Ellis have both also been named. Ballarat will have its first training session on May 13 at Darley Park.

Coach ready to roll

By JOEL PETERSON

HE made a coaching leap of faith last year, and upon now jumping into the Bendigo Spirit head coaching role, Simon Pritchard says he is ready for the challenge of his life. The former Adelaide Lightning assistant coach moved to Canberra in 2014, away from his family and business, to be an assistant under former Australian Opals coach Carrie Graf at the Canberra Capitals. He was successful on court and off beforehand, coaching Norwood to multiple championships in the Central Australian Basketball League while running his small business, BIC Industries. The 49-year-old took the chance to work under Graf last season, a move that was no doubt vindicated on Tuesday when he was introduced as the Spirit’s new coach.

“I’ve done a lot of coaching to get to this point, I’ve been coaching for 35 years, and my wife told me that it’s now or never, it’s either time to step up or step out,” he said. “Canberra was wonderful for me. Carrie Graf is one of the best people I have ever come across for commercialising women’s basketball. I have learnt a lot from her and I am really thankful for the experience in Canberra.” Along with considerable WNBL experience under Peter Buckle and Richard Dickel at Adelaide before coaching under Graf, the South Australian has also been an assistant of the Australian under-17 women’s team and the Australian Emerging Opals. Bringing youth into the team will be a big focus for Pritchard, who plans to hold tryouts for young players from all around Victoria aspiring to play at the highest level.

NEW MAN ON THE COURT: Bendigo Spirit chairman Greg Bickley with new head coach Simon Pritchard. Photo: JOEL PETERSON “There is great talent coming through the regional areas, in that under-18 bracket. Yes, there’s Bendigo, but there’s also surrounding areas,” he said. “Why wouldn’t we take

players from Ballarat? If Adelaide don’t get a team up, I think our draw now goes all the way to the Perth border and we should capitalise on that. It is a national competition.

“Filling out the roster will be about organising some trials for late July, and we will open it up to local and Victorian athletes and try to bring in some athletes who can come in and fill our roster.”

Spirit chairman Greg Bickley said Pritchard was an ideal appointment who had exciting plans for the future of the club.

HE eternally attractive facade of this Federation-style property is pure potential in a perfect position. The uniquely Australian style is less formal and better suited to our warm climate than the earlier Victorian style homes. This elegant weatherboard example has all the hallmarks of the style with decorative timber fretwork around the veranda and box bay windows with alluring leadlight panes. Original features inside include timber window seats, high pressed-metal ceilings and a brick fireplace complete with timber mantelpiece and side cabinets in the formal lounge. In solid condition and very liveable, the residence is currently configured as four bedrooms, two bathrooms, formal lounge, sun room, dining area

and kitchen. It has beautiful basics and space to spare for future renovation and transformation to a fine family home. Ideally located on a street dotted with period homes and views of the nearby Sacred Heart Cathedral spire, it’s only moments from the city action and seconds from Girton college. The beloved family home enjoys an elevated position

on an allotment of about 907 square metres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with secure parking space and a very private rear garden. An ideal opportunity to renovate and reap the rewards this charming home and central position offer. View online at www.sutherlandproperty.com.au. Vicki Harrington

At the back of the home is a paved courtyard for entertaining. On the west-facing side is a generous storage shed as well as a carport that doubles as an undercover alfresco. “On the other side – and this is the real surprise – is a good-sized yard for future extension to the house or garden.” All up – a gorgeous property in a sought-after position with an affordable selling range. Cathy Matthews

LLIS Nuttall Real Estate has for sale a new listing in a tightly-held residential pocket. Selling agent Jayde Neate said Ascot and Epsom are really going ahead with a new Bunnings store opening in June and Aldi supermarket coming soon. “This property will suit a variety of buyers including a family or a tradesperson. It’s ideal for someone with a home-based business. “And because it’s zoned for general residential use it could have future subdivision potential, with council approval.” The property includes a quality brick home on a generous allotment measuring about 3917 square metres (one acre). Onsite extras include gates, carporting, caravan port, pet pen, town services, rainwater storage, doublesized storage shed and a large workshop with 15-amp power outlet. The fernery is cool

and leafy for summertime parties while the wraparound decking (about eight squares) “is a great place to host Christmas lunch,” the vendor told us. The house offers large lounge, versatile games room, open-plan dining and well-equipped kitchen with oodles of storage. Bosch dishwasher, generous ensuite, fitted robes, updated carpet, alfresco blinds, ducted gas heating and ducted evaporative cooling are among the home’s features.

“We’ve been very happy here for 20 years and now it’s time for us to downsize.” A fabulous and spacious property in a thriving location with easy access to the city centre. Cathy Matthews

HIS townhouse is just the right size, as they say, not too big and not too small. Unusually for units and town houses it has two living areas, a generouslyproportioned kitchen-meals area and a separate lounge at the front of the house. Both bedrooms are a good size, carpeted and have built-in robes, with the master having access to a spacious two-way bathroom with bath, vanity and an oversized shower.

Secondly, the position is great, only 10 minutes from the CBD, making this an attractive prospect in terms of investment or owner occupying.
