Mary’s bid to fly high
THERE have been many stunts Cr Rod Fyffe has performed over the years. In the name of a good cause he’s dressed up as a Smurf, as a particularly scary Easter Bunny and even worn his undies on the outside of his pants, but hitching a ride in a
crane is probably a first. On this occasion the good cause is Mary Poppins, and as the patron of the Bendigo Theatre Company Cr Fyffe is helping to raise money so Mary can do what she does so well, that is fly. - Continued Page 5

ONE of Bendigo’s most respected environmentalists says the Greater Bendigo National Park is dying, the damage irreversible. Long-time conservationist Stuart Fraser said the burning of large areas of forest surrounding Bendigo for fire mitigation purposes, together with the drying trend, has become a

threatening process. “It is leading to the rapid decline of structure within the remnant Boxironbark forest. The loss of structure is resulting in a loss of ecosystem function as it is inextricably linked to structure,” he said. “The forests are fragmented, the
areas burnt are large and the rate of recovery is slow and incomplete because of the drying trend.” The 2009 Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission recommended an annual minimum five per cent burn of public land. According to the Code of Practice

MORE than 20 past and present real estate identities from across the region attended last week’s Real Estate Institute of Victoria Bendigo Chapter annual lunch at the Bridge Hotel. The event, sponsored by the Bendigo Weekly and the REIV, acknowledges agents who have served as office bearers for the local chapter throughout its proud history and typifies the close working relationships local agents are able to enjoy despite being business rivals in one of the state’s strongest real estate markets. The Bendigo chapter is currently chaired by Craig Webster, with Jacinta McIvor as secretary, a position the popular agent has held for an incredible 19 years.

At a time when investors are competing with their neighbours in the rental market, there is a need to create a point of difference when listing your property. The most appealing listings promote a far more desirable lifestyle opportunity on offer compared to the competing block of flats just around the corner or down the road. A larger or oversized apartment, for example, is certainly going to stand out when much of the stock available in the market comes in at around 60-square metres. After all, a property offering closer to 80sqm is going to also have the distinct advantage of be-

ing a far better rental proposition for the purchaser. In commenting on what makes a perfect listing, Nicholas Smedley, Managing Director of property development and construction company Steller said the perfect listing is a combination of several factors. “The first is ensuring you reach your target market’s needs. It is paramount to highlight the benefits of the unique and sort after location on offer. Not only is it important to describe the suburb in which the property is listed, but also the development’s geographical position within the suburb.
r visit 36 186 o • Call 1 ter.vic.gov.au a www.w supplier r water u o y ll a C •
This includes describing the walking or driving distance to trains, parks, cafes, shops and other important amenities,” Mr Smedley said. “Secondly, a perfect listing requires you to know your audience. If your audience is an owner-occupier it is important to note that a majority of people purchase investment properties within a fivekilometre radius of either where they grew up or where they now call home.” The REIV has welcomed a state government announcement that planned regulatory changes to
commercial licensing in Victoria would be repealed. The previous government had announced that regulatory changes, to take effect on July 1 this year, would remove the need to involve an agent in large commercial transactions. REIV CEO Enzo Raimondo said the decision was a common sense one from the government. “This provides security for thousands of consumers and small business owners in this state. “The changes would have opened up the commercial sector to unlicensed and untrained operators,” Mr Raimondo said.

Coliban price hike
By JOEL PETERSON
WHILE water storages around Bendigo continue to fall in the face of an impending El Nino, Coliban Water bills continue to rise by some of the highest rates in the country. According to the Bureau of Meteorology’s National Water Performance Report, Coliban customers were hit with a 13 per cent rise in the typical bill last year. While that figure is in line with the Essential Services Commission’s 2013-18 water plan, it marked the fifth highest rise among the 78 utilities featured in the report. It was also the highest increase among utilities with 50,000 to 100,000 connected properties, nine per cent more than the next highest increase, despite the organisation’s capital expenditure falling by two per cent last financial year. The typical bill for Coliban customers according to the report was $1,234, up
from $862 in the 2009-10 financial year. The report states Coliban’s capital expenditure was $14.1 million in 2013-14, having fallen from $39.7m in 2009-10. Coliban’s average annual
Customers were hit with a 13 per cent rise water supplied fell by two per cent from 194 kilolitres per property to 190kL in 2013-14. The ESC’s June 2013 regional water price review expected the bill for a household consuming 220kL of water per year to be $1267, the bureau’s report stating the typical bill for 200kL of water was $1256. Coliban also experienced
the highest number of breaks per 100 kilometres of sewer main in its category, with 63. Nationally, the median volume of residential water supplied was 185kL per property, up three per cent from 179kL in 2012–13. The overall increase in the median typical annual residential water bill was two per cent. “Rainfall is arguably the most influential factor affecting residential consumption, and drier conditions were compounded by above-average temperatures in 2013 and 2014,” Dr Ian Prosser, bureau of meteorology assistant director of water information services, said. According to the ESC’s water price review, Coliban bills are expected to rise a further 4.1 per cent for the 2014-15 financial year. Coliban Water did not respond to the Weekly’s request for comment before print deadline.

City Futures receives council support MORE than 93 per cent of submissions lodged over whether the City of Greater Bendigo’s City Futures directorate should be retained, have backed the status quo. Councillors voted this week to support the directorate in its present format, in response to a key recommendation raised in the recently undertaken Independent Review of council operations, which had recommended investigating a split and the creation of a stand-alone entity. During a passionate speech at Wednesday night’s meeting, councillor Rod Campbell said understanding the City Futures directorate as being “one integrated effective driver in our municipality” was an important consideration. “People come here because they like what we have to offer. We have a point of difference, we are a cultural destination now,” he said. “It’s not all about profit. It’s about building a better city.” Cr Campbell described Bendigo as being a cultural mecca for tourists, which had become renowned around the world for its many attractions. “The bottom line is, is it a good thing for our city, and the unequivocal answer is yes.” Cr Helen Leach said she was disappointed that none of the ideas or suggestions included in the 202page response from the community to the recommendation had been

Cr Elise Chapman said the performance of venues was a concern that needed to be looked at, while mayor Peter Cox said it was obvious from the public submissions that people wanted the directorate retained. “This is an acknowledgement that the work undertaken by the directorate is valued by the community. It is an endorsement of the city’s current economic strategies,

It was guaranteed to get that response, with threats of termination under the 100 per cent commercial model.” She said a lot of respondents were from out of town or directly linked to the arts and therefore were conflicted in their views

which have played a major role in making Greater Bendigo the success it is today.” He pointed to Greater Bendigo’s economic growth rate of 3.4 per cent, which he said had outperformed other key regional areas in Victoria, NSW and Queensland since 2006. Cr Cox said council was keen for the City Futures directorate to use its expertise to also focus more heavily on areas such as small business, and added it would also undergo a refresh aimed at supporting Bendigo’s push for more growth, jobs and economic development, as well as helping to reinvigorate the Bendigo Trust. -Peter Kennedy
Youth housing plan approved ADDITIONAL plans have been approved for Haven; Home, Safe’s $6 million residential development in Flora Hill. City of Greater Bendigo councillors voted in favour of the six-dwelling development on Keck Street at Wednesday’s council meeting. But Cr Helen Leach said a social impact study should have been conducted and had concerns about the waiver of the visitor parking spaces. The single-storey and single-bedroom dwellings will form part of Sidney Myer Place; a medium-term transitional housing development for homeless youth. The site adjoins lots on Somerville Street which have already been approved for development. The state government committed $4 million towards the development, $2 million from the Yulgilbar Foundation and the Sidney Myer Fund, which includes
$100,000 from Bendigo for Homeless Youth and Haven: Home, Safe. Councillors also voted to grant a permit for a 22-unit motel in Golden Square. The permit, subject to 21 conditions, allows the partial demolition of the existing buildings, a car park reduction at the High Street site. “The use of this land for a motel in this location is very acceptable, it is appropriate with the zoning and it would support the development of tourism,” Cr Chapman said. Cr Rod Campbell said the idea of a motel was logical but was persuaded with the planners’ views to refuse it. But Cr Rod Fyffe said there were a couple planning issues with the development including, neighbourhood character. But the motion was carried with a planning permit approved.

Bus plan arrives on time Revised network up for community comment
By JOEL PETERSON
BENDIGO’s proposed bus network has undergone an overhaul, as the second round of community consultation sessions are conducted. PTV’s original plan, released in November last year, featured 13 routes with all the current Bendigo bus route numbers changed. The number of routes has been bumped up to 14, with several other routes altered, in the organisation’s revised plan released last week. The most notable change is the decision to retain the currentlyoperating Spring Gully route, which was completely excluded in the original plan, much to residents’ chagrin. Spring Gully Road was to lose service completely, but will now be served by both the direct CBD route
as well as a bus travelling through Strathdale. Both routes will be reviewed after six months service, according to PTV. “PTV took the feedback provided by the community in December last year and revised the proposed bus network in Huntly, Jackass Flat, Eaglehawk, Spring Gully, Bendigo City and Quarry Hill,” a spokesperson for the organisation told the Weekly. “This revised proposal is what is being presented to the community in this latest round of consultation.” The planned Huntly service has been through-routed to become the Kangaroo Flat direct service, with the revised Epsom route serving the Bendigo hospital.
Other changes include the proposed La Trobe University shuttle operating from the university to Bendigo hospital instead of Bendigo Station, a shorter Quarry Hill/Golden Square route to improve directness and reduce duplication with the Spring Gully service and buses on the brand new Jackass Flat route operating via Howard Street and Averys Road. One major feature PTV has spruiked is its connectivity with train services, despite the lack of a connecting service at Kangaroo Flat station. PTV said the network was designed around train connections at the city’s main commuter hub, Bendigo Station.
“Interchanging between buses and rail coordination is centred around Bendigo station, and due to the different speeds of buses and trains, it’s not possible to coordinate buses with trains at both Bendigo Station and Kangaroo Flat Station,” the spokesperson said. “Bendigo station offers a superior level of amenity, with a cafe, a larger air-conditioned waiting room, long staffing hours and Protective Services Officers for improved safety at night. “So, every bus will arrive and depart from the station while it is staffed and this cannot be offered at Kangaroo Flat.” The full network can be viewed on PTV’s website, with estimated

GIRTON Grammar senior school students have been fitted out with costumes for their upcoming production The 39 Steps. Scott’s Mascots and Costume Hire has played its part to provide all the costumes for the performance. Cast members visited the store on Wednesday to gear up for the Alfred Hitchcock thriller. “With more than 8,000 costumes available we rarely have to look beyond Bendigo for any of our performing arts outfit needs,” Girton Grammar School Head of Drama Nick Pease said. “Costumes this year need to reflect life in 1930s England and we will be scrupulous in being true to the era. “Visiting this very uniquely Australian business, surrounded by rural land and housed within a tin shed is always a highlight for our students. I’m sure it reminds many of them of raiding their childhood dress up box at home.” Mr Pease said the performing arts scene in Bendigo was flourishing with the support of local industry.
Saint Kilda Football Club chief operating officer and general counsel Ameet Bains will make a special visit to Huntly this Saturday, as special guest at the annual High Flying Hawks Club luncheon conducted by the Huntly Football Netball Club prior to its Heathcote District Football League match against Colbinabbin. The Saints leader has special links to the Huntly region as he was a member of the under-12 premiership team before moving to Melbourne. Bains joined St. Kilda in 2011 and serves on a number of AFL subcommittees and has degrees as a Bachelor of Law (Honours) and Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance) from Monash University. For bookings to the luncheon contact Huntly Football Club president Ian Sladden on 0427 158 882.
Big hill access plan THE Big Hill Primary School community has petitioned for additional road access and car parking to ensure their students’ safety. City of Greater Bendigo councillors voted in favour of the petition at this week’s council meeting to have a response within two meetings. The 115-signature petition asks council to ensure the safety of the students and wider community with a second access road for the McInnes Street area. “Also to increase the parking facilities due to the rapid increase at Big Hill Primary School. The current environment is a traffic and fire hazard,” the petition read. “The area is a known high risk red zone for fire activity, and therefore requires more than one exit road. “We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to provide additional road and car parking in the Big Hill Primary School vicinity.” No councillor made further comment towards the petition.

(Oh yes the pun was intended). “We loved being part of the construction of the new theatre and jumped at the chance to support the BTC to train technicians to use the specialist equipment,” Andy Woodhams of Central Victorian Crane Hire said. ”This is the first time the BTC

Council backs rates cap
By peter kennedy
GREATER Bendigo councillors have backed a submission to the Essential Services Commission over the state government’s proposal to cap council rates from 2016/17. Speaking at Wednesday night’s council meeting, Councillor Rod Campbell said there was acceptance that there will be rate capping, but that councils needed to get some guidelines around the policy, so that everyone can under-
stand it. “It’s imperative the government projects the rate out for four years,” Cr Campbell said. He said the cap should apply to both the rates revenue and the municipal charge as they both generate income. “Councils experiencing growth will be severely disadvantaged with rate capping if supplementary rates are not included in the base on which the cap applies.” Cr Campbell also called for
consideration to be given to extend the revaluation period to better implement the rate capping policy. Cr Barry Lyons also praised the council submission, but said clarity was needed. “I’m not saying we can’t live with rate capping but we need to know what we’ve got to live with.” He said rate capping in New South Wales had left councils in that state well behind their Victorian counterparts in the appearance and the way they present
their cities. Speaking against the submission, Cr Helen Leach acknowledged the difficulties of aligning a rate capping policy with a revaluation year, but said if council continued to build at unsustainable rates, things cannot be properly managed, and that council needs to look after what it has better, not just do new things. “What the community needs and wants is lower rates,” she said, adding she wants council to oper-
ate at close to CPI when it comes to rate increases. Cr Elise Chapman said she didn’t agree with the submission, and that she believed council could find $4m in savings elsewhere. Summing up, Cr Rod Fyffe said the submission articulates problems that exist throughout the local government community. “We don’t have the magic pudding, we don’t live in La La Land… what we do live in is the real world and things have to be paid for.”
Fragile forests under threat 3From Page 1 Mr Fraser said federally listed species; the Pink-tail Worm-lizard, the Eltham Copper Butterfly and the McIvor Spider-orchid, are threatened with local extinction. Wildlife Victoria chief executive officer Karen Masson said any loss of vegetation – through natural or human events – was concerning.
I have to walk away from this, it’s finished. It’s dead. “While we fully appreciate that actions were sought to mitigate any future possibility of devastation to the levels suffered during Black Saturday in 2009, we do question the broad approach of setting a percentage target across the state of ‘planned burns’ without looking at the merits and considering the flora and fauna directly affected by each such action,” she said. “In the rush to achieve these targets ‘hot burn’ techniques are often used where animals do not have time or the ability to move from a planned area. So while the burns may be ‘planned’ the effect on our wildlife and bush is exactly the same as a wildfire, complete
concerned: Stuart Fraser. and utter devastation. “It is difficult to see the difference between the impact of the event versus the so called solution.” Mr Fraser said the Box-ironbark forest was fragile not robust when faced with the combination of fire and drying. “With our burning we have destroyed the very things that have been allowing the species to survive. This is what has happened and Bendigo shall be a city in the forest that is dead,” the former beekeeper said. “There are large areas now that are quite depleted. Of course, this will be burnt again, and again, and again, forever.” Mr Fraser said he didn’t blame any politician, aware they made decisions based on the information
and advice provided to them. A spokesperson for Victorian Environment Minister Lisa Neville said planned burns were usually less intensive than bushfires and left unburnt areas for wildlife refuge. “Planned burning can help flora and fauna species that depend on fire to survive, and it also helps to protect natural ecosystems that can be damaged by severe bushfires,” the spokesperson said. “Most native animal species are well adapted to fire and have survival strategies that are effective even in a hot bushfires. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning continually adapts its planned burning approach in areas occupied by species that are less tolerant of fire.” The spokesperson said fire and biodiversity experts studied the way fire burnt, its affect on plants and animals on how it helped maintain healthy native habitats. Mr Fraser said most fires in Bendigo were grassfires, not bushfires and historical sites had been burnt out. “I can say with certainty that the Box-ironbark forests and park that surrounds Bendigo have been and will be completely burnt and that this will continue into the future,” he said. “I have to walk away from this, it’s finished. It’s dead. They won’t stop burning. Bendigo needs to understand what is happening.”

Big Hill butterfly boost THE threatened Eltham Copper Butterfly will have 1000 new native homes in the Greater Bendigo National Park. Big Hill Primary School students planted Sweet Bursaria (Bursaria Spinosa) shrubs to provide more habitat for the species this week. The Eltham Copper Butterfly is a federally listed threatened species under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) biodiversity program manager Jill Fleming said the butterfly population was first discovered in Bendigo behind the school. “Since the discovery at Big Hill, the school and its students have been heavily involved in assisting
with the conservation of this butterfly,” she said. “The butterflies are very picky about where they lay their eggs, choosing only the Sweet Bursaria plant, which is a smallish shrub or tree with small star-like fragrant white flowers. “The aim of planting more Sweet Bursaria plants at this site is to give the Eltham Copper Butterfly more places to lay their eggs, provide food resources for the caterpillars, enhance the available habitat and increase the size and area of the butterfly population. “This also provides an opportunity for the students and teachers to engage in environmental education and learn about conservation of an threatened species.”

Birthing kit appeal Bendigo’s Zonta Club is inviting the community to help assemble birthing kits at Bendigo Senior Secondary College tomorrow. Members of the public are encouraged to assist construct 2000 kits which the majority of the group’s fundraising goes toward purchasing. At $3 per kit for materials and transportation, they provide the six
items to satisfy the basic requirements for a safe birth. Students from BSSC and Girton Grammar have been assisting the group in preparing the packs for assembly days. Research suggests for every 11 kits distributed, a mother or baby’s life is saved as a result of the clean birth environment they provide.

Macular awareness in full view Local resident Jeff Barber struggles to see the 30 kangaroos in his front paddock. Diagnosed 10 years ago with macular degeneration disease, the 66-year-old has impaired central vision and has trouble identifying colours. The disease involves the macula, located at the back of the eye, breaking down due to a loss of ability to clear waste products. Macular degeneration is Australia’s leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness, and affects more than 1.15 million Australians over the age of 50. The former bus driver was diagnosed after a routine check-up at the optometrist when he experienced difficulty reading road signs at night. “The biggest thing is just a frustration in yourself because you know you’ve been able to do these things in the past and now you find out that you can’t,” he said. “I can’t drive anywhere. We had a couple of buses and if I didn’t have this, I would still be driving. “Eventually you lose all of
Jeff Barber your vision but you’ve still got a bit around your peripheral so you don’t go totally blind there’s always a bit of sight there.” Today marks the second last day of Macular Awareness Week which aims to encourage community members to get checked. Individuals at risk of the disease include those over the age of
50, smokers and people with a genetic history. Despite 85 per cent of at-risk individuals being aware of macular degeneration, Bendigo optometrist Kirrily Bowen said one in four are still not getting their macula checked. “The very early signs of macular degeneration can now be identified easily by modern technology which enables the optometrist to see the retina at the back of the eye, where the disease develops, and detect early signs of the disease,” Ms Bowen said. Although there is no cure for macular degeneration, early detection assists in slowing down and managing the condition. Mr Barber says the support from Vision Australia has been invaluable in addition to the help of his wife. “I’m really lucky I have a good family who make it as easy as they can for me,” he said.

TOUGH TIMES: Aaron, Kellie and Taylor Adams with Tim, Mick and Matt Lloyd. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN MICK Lloyd is a no-nonsense self-employed builder. He’s tough, a man’s man, but every so often the burden he and his family carry around weighs him down. And the enormity of the disease his sons live with sends him into despair. It’s called Niemann Pick Disease Type C. It’s a disease so rare there are only 500 known cases in the world. The cruel irony is that two of these cases involve families in the Bendigo district. The families include Mick Lloyd’s two sons Matthew, 27, and Timothy, 25, who live in Axedale. The other family are the children of Kelly Adams, 18-year-old Aaron and 21-year-old Taylor, who live in Kangaroo Flat. “We were devastated when we were first told about the boys,” Mick says. ”It’s a hard

thing to be told. It can drive you insane. But family and friends have been really lovely.” Niemann-Pick disease basically affects the brain, leading to a loss of motor skills. As well it causes seizures and dementia. There is no cure and a lack of funding research. Mick says of Timothy, “he’s always loved music and still goes to TAFE where he studies it, but everyday it’s harder and harder for Tim to get around. “My son should be travelling the world right now with a guitar on his back. That’s the hard thing. Their lives are going to be cut short. “My mates say to me if you need to talk about it, we are here to listen. People don’t think men understand what to say or do, but my mates are with me all the way.” Both the Lloyd family and
the Adams family struggle to keep up with the financial costs of caring for their children. As they become older their occupational health needs increase. A major fundraiser for the two families is being organised by the Axedale Tavern. Mick wanted to organise a music session with Tim and the Melbourne band Eastwood Ravine while his boy can still play. On Friday June 5 there will be a two course dinner starting at 6pm. The music part of the night, featuring Tim and Eastwood Ravine will start at 8pm. However if you just want to go for the music the cost is $10. There will be big prizes to be won through a raffle and auction. Bookings are essential. Phone Corrine from the Axedale Tavern on 5439 7377 to make a booking.

Local wines on show More than 100 international wine buyers and journalists were treated to the best of Bendigo’s wine region this week. As an initiative by the Bendigo Winegrowers Association and the Victorian government, the event aimed to raise the profile of the region’s wineries. Representatives from the United Kingdom, North America, North and South East Asia and the United Arab Emirates sampled a diverse selection of wines and
learnt about the region’s history. Bendigo Winegrowers Association’s Paul Greblo said the state government had been a terrific support in increasing international awareness of regional Victorian wines. “Normally us wine makers go and visit these people in their own country. But we thought we would bring them all out here, with a view to visit all of the wine regions in Victoria. Not just going to the capital city or
the Yarra Valley,” he said. “The good thing is that the buyers really want to go and see where the wine is grown, where it’s made, instead of just looking at it in a totally alienated place. “This is an outstanding opportunity for the wine trade delegates to experience for themselves the spectacular region we are privileged to call home.” The eight wineries which participated in the initiative were Balgownie Estate, Blackjack Wines,
Harcourt Valley, Mandurang Valley, Sandhurst Ridge, Sutton Grange, Turners Crossing and Water Wheel. Mr Greblo said the trip will increase the number of Victorian wine ambassadors overseas. “We’ll be showing as much of the Bendigo region as we can. Visiting is the best way to experience personally what makes the Bendigo region and its wine so special.” he said.

CWA converges on city MORE than 800 women from across Victoria are in Bendigo this week as part of the Country Women’s Association of Victoria state conference. The theme of this year’s conference, which began in Bendigo on Wednesday, is Community Connectedness and Creativity. An ecumenical service was held in the Sacred Heart Cathedral yesterday morning, while key note speakers including Minister for Women and Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Fio-
na Richardson, opposition leader Matthew Guy, of the Opposition, Shadow Minister for Families and Children, Georgie Crozier and former Victorian premier, founding chairman of beyondblue and media personality, Jeff Kennett. They were joined by world president of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACCW), Ruth Shanks, as major attractions for this year’s conference, being staged at Bendigo’s All Seasons Quality Resort. The official conference
dinner will be held tonight, while Victorian president Dorothy Coombe said the Bendigo community was invited to come and participate in the range of events and workshops on offer. “The CWA of Victoria is thrilled to be holding our conference in Bendigo and utilising the city‘s wonderful facilities and showcasing this region to international, interstate and Victorian visitors,” Mrs Coombe said. A diverse range of activities is scheduled for Saturday at the All Seasons, including

Kidney care vital RENAL Dialysis patient Vin DeAraugo is urging the community to take care of their bodies and reduce their risk of kidney disease. Without any warning, Mr DeAraugo’s kidneys began shutting down at age 79. “With one in three Australians at risk of kidney disease, everyone needs to look after themselves,” he said. “If you are overweight go and see a dietician and try really hard to lose weight
because losing weight will help prevent the onset of diabetes. “Dialysis has been a real life saver. I come to the renal dialysis unit at Bendigo Health three times a week for five hours each day.” Mr DeAraugo’s message comes as part of Kidney Health Awareness Week running until May 30. Renal Services nurse manager Kathleen Fair said it was important for locals to

understand the devastating impact of sick kidneys in the body. “We need to learn about the links between kidney disease and other chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes – two of the most common causes of kidney disease,” she said. “The kidneys are vital organs – just like the heart, brain, or lungs – if they shut down, your body shuts down.”

Sister cities sign up THE CITY of Greater Bendigo council has formalised its relationship with Haimen Municipal People’s Government. Nine delegates from Haimen visited Bendigo last Friday to sign an agreement to become a sister city relationship to Bendigo. The relationship was developed after former mayor Barry Lyons and chief executive officer Craig Niemann visited Haimen last year. The agreement aims to strengthen economic, cultural, tourism and educational ties between the cities. Mayor Peter Cox said the agreement opened up many opportunities for residents of both cities. “The advent of technology such as the internet has made the world a smaller place, so it makes sense to form close ties with other countries, especially neighbours such as China,” he said. “An official sister city relationship between Greater Bendigo and Haimen has the potential to build strong economic ties between the two cities and further encourage exchange programs between local schools. “China is also culturally rich
strengthening ties: Haimen Municipal People’s Government party secretary Jiang Long with mayor Peter Cox. and given our continued recognition and celebration of Bendigo’s Chinese heritage, it makes sense to join in friendship with Haimen.”
The delegation visited Bendigo South East College, Bendigo Senior Secondary College, the art gallery, the Golden Dragon Museum and had dinner at Masons
NEWBRIDGE Hotel publican Terry Lofkin is hosting a fundraiser to raise funds for youth homelessness services in central Victoria. Mr Lofkin will host a fundraiser for local homelessness service provider, St Luke’s, at his pub on Sunday June 7. Together with his wife Diane, Mr Lofkin was a St Luke’s foster carer for 11 years. “Newbridge is a great spot, and really, we’ve had a lucky life and with the pub, well we’ve got the ideal chance to do something to help others… by fundraising,” he said. “Here beside the Loddon, we often see young homeless people sleeping under the bridge, we often feed them and they move on… but we want to do more, we want to make a difference, to raise awareness, and to do it locally.” More than 200 homeless 16 to 19-yearolds in central Victoria seek the help of St Luke’s every year. The fundraiser will be held at the pub from 1.30pm with live music from The Cabarettos, raffles, spinning wheel prizes and plenty of food. Seventy per cent of the food and drink takings will go to St Luke’s to assist with homeless youth. Mr Lofkin hopes to set a new record after raising $9000 at last year’s fundraiser. “Youth homelessness and youth unemployment are big issues, and I will be hap-

Birth of a new Oz musical
By DIANNE DEMPSEY
IT was a tense moment for Bendigo last Saturday when the curtain went up on its first home grown professional production – Ned. And it was quite an opening scene. Superimposed over the centre of the performance space was a ghostly and terrible spectre – a hologram of Ned Kelly’s death mask, the same mask currently in the Bendigo Gallery exhibition. The smoke machine was cranked up and the music rang through the theatre; strong and confident. In fact the orchestra was a vital dimension of this production. Under the musical direction of Loclan Mackenzie-Spencer, the orchestra was tight. If the cast was nervous they could rely on Mackenzie-Spencer and the musicians, who mostly hail from Bendigo, to bring them in on time and lift them when they needed lifting. The orchestra’s energy reverberated throughout the theatre, demonstrating the fledgling Ulumbarra theatre’s brilliant acoustics. McKenzie-Spencer was one of the many key figures in this production who developed their skills in Bendigo’s schools before studying afield and coming home to support the home team.
Ned starts at the end of the Kelly story – on the gallows. The production isn’t about what happened to Ned but the how and the why. Central to this particular interpretation of the Ned Kelly myth is the raucous and loyal Kelly clan whose default position is one of oppression. They have left Ireland’s impoverishment only to be confronted with the ire of the traps. Conflict may be the basis of drama but it is also the ally of the actor. With so many impressive performances it seems unfair to single out individuals. But here we go. Penny Larkins who plays Ned’s mum, Ellen, swirls across the stage in a swish of skirts, energising the cast as she does. And she didn’t drop her baby once. Her great moment is her aria sung on the eve of Ned’s death which she executes with true emotional intensity. My query here is why she was placed stage right instead of centre, such is the value of this particular performance. The role of Ned’s younger sister Kate is played by Hannah Fre-
dericksen. Kate is subjected to the dastardly attentions of Constable Fitzpatrick, played by NIDA graduate Nick Simpson-Deeks who does a bit of scene stealing himself. While running away from Fitzpatrick, Kate sings her heart out, does a mean Irish jig and manages to draw the eye even when in repose. Nelson Gardner who plays Ned does everything right. He has a strong, dark voice and vivid stage presence but the best thing about his Ned is that he is sexy – as he should be. For the lead character it was a little odd and disappointing that he didn’t have more solos. This is not a flawless musical. There were times in the second act when the production lost its momentum. Somebody has to be strong and remove one or two songs. “A Woman’s Hand” for example appeared as a token nod in the direction of feminism. Alternatively there could be some general tightening. But this is a first-off production. It can only be presumed that with more opportunities Ned will be tightened and improved in the tradition of all new
major productions. And we must not overlook the most vital members of this production – its creators – the director Gary Young, composer Adam Lyon and writers, Marc McIntyre and Anna Lyon. The big numbers are stirring and move the narration forward and the dialogue contains plenty of jokes, a device invaluable when it comes to relieving dramatic tension. The production values left the audience feeling comfortable. There were no glitches here, it was pure professionalism all the way. The fact that Ulumbarra has been specifically designed to showcase major productions was more than obvious. Finally to be congratulated are the show’s producers, people such as David Lloyd and his supporters at the City of Greater Bendigo. They set a remarkable precedent: a home-grown show with enough money behind it to be a permanent part of Australia’s musical repertoire. An extraordinary thing happened at Ulumbarra on Saturday night – provincial theatre in Australia came of age. There will be an extra performance of Ned this Saturday at 2pm.

First HACC – now Meals On Wheels Who are the hard-hearted individuals who have little compassion for disadvantaged Bendigo residents? Are they the elected councillors or the un-elected council staff? Many Bendigo pensioners and/ or people with disabilities are unable to shop and some are even unable to cook their own meals. They rely on Meals on Wheels to receive one nutritious meal each day. Now council is trying to opt out from being responsible for the provision of Meals on Wheels, which are partly subsidised by the government and the rest paid for by the people who receive them. What would be a better use of ratepayers’ money – to spend $400,000 on the production of the musical “Ned” or to spend a very much smaller amount to continue to provide Meals on Wheels? Let your councillors know what you think. Shirley Mainstone, Spring Gully
Call for scholarship Response to Dennis Carter “Walking with Whilhem” On further lauding the life, achievements and visible legacy of Wilhelm (William) Vahland to the City of Bendigo, surely it makes it all the more a feasible consideration to establish a perpetual scholarship in his name to encourage what “keen aspiring architects” there may very well be. Maybe a small posthumous recompense for the humiliation he endured due to the hysteria of the time as an “enemy within” forced to surrender his passport, assets and weekly appointment with the local constabulary according to the law of the land albeit an Australian citizen taken out soon after he settled in Bendigo. Source in part David Beagley “William Charles Vahland”. Lynne Newington, Bendigo
Treasure your vote I watched with dismay as our Prime Minister gave his recent “nope, nope, nope” response to the question of refugee settlement in Australia and pondered the impact of people such as Mr Abbott when it comes to religion and faith, which many members of our various parliaments profess to
have in abundance. What would the atheist or the agnostic or, indeed the believer think when a fellow believer acts in such an uncharitable and dismissive manner? What lessons do the Christian gospels offer? The Quran and the Torah have plenty to say in the other Abrahamic cultures too but very few practice that which they claim to have moulded their lives and which they further claim to hold dear. I long ago concluded that no omnipotent being or entity could willingly have created people with such little compassion or love for the fellow beings “created in his own image” and the older I get the more certain I am that the seven deadly sins win out over the Ten Commandments more often than not and the need for pragmatism in politics always wins over morality and ideology. Sometimes, in moments of gloom and despair I try to will myself into believing there is an afterlife so that at least some of them may get the comeuppance they ultimately deserve but of one thing I become more certain as I age; sadly, they will not. No, for politicians to be held accountable, only we mere mortals can do that so, in our democracy at least, hold your vote dear to your heart: it remains our best weapon we have at this time when honesty, integrity and egalitarianism are held in such disregard by our “leaders”. Stephen Colbert, Wedderburn
Visionless leadership With the slow down in China, the massive decline in prices for our mineral exports, and destruction of our manufacturing base, we face a weakened economy for the foreseeable future. There seems to me to be a crying need for our political leaders to articulate how the country should be adapting to the new era, explaining the need for change in simple terms, with directional goals and imaginative leadership to extricate ourselves from the mire. A vision is required. And then an inclusive approach to its execution to enhance the chance of success. Mr Abbott, after his “near death experience” has learnt a salutary lesson from the first budget that was roundly condemned as unfair and correctly so. Survival seems to be his strat-

egy and the recent budget, craftily concocted, was meant to appease and appears to have muted the disenchanted. The fundamental problems impacting on the economy were ignored. Bill Shorten, as alternative PM, seems visionless too from his utterings so far, apart from the budget reply, and does not inspire confidence; so we are in a right royal pickle. Might I suggest that our “leaders” first step on the road to recovery could be to advocate and prosecute the case for change to the federal election cycle, from three to four years. With constant opinion polls and with the next election always just round the corner, politicians concentrate on short term issues at the expense of meaningful strategic planning. In the meantime they should start working on that “vision”. Hopefully, it will include greater emphasis on the importance of maths and science right from early childhood, the importance of research and development, reform to superannuation concessions etc. Most Australians are smart enough to realise change is inevitable and that involves some pain. All they ask is that it be reasonably explained and the burden fairly spread. Michael McKenzie, Bendigo
A change of attitude Should schizophrenia be renamed to help reduce the stigma that surrounds people with the illness? The suggestion continues to spark debate. There is no question that people living with schizophrenia are still stigmatised. We know that people diagnosed as having schizophrenia die up to 20 years earlier than others in the community and a few years ago schizophrenia was declared the “abandoned illness” by the Schizophrenia Commission in the UK. Now new research, the largest study to explore renaming the illness, has again highlighted the complexities of damaging stigma associated with diagnoses, particularly schizophrenia. After surveying more than 1600 people, researchers in the UK conclude that “...any decisions to rename should be made with caution.” “However”, they add, “…a decision not to rename may overlook an important opportunity to tackle damaging stereotypes”. In Japan, after they changed the name, psychiatrists were almost twice as likely to tell their patients about their diagnosis. Furthermore, 86 per cent of psychiatrists said it was also easier to talk to their families and discuss the
treatments available. Award-winning Australian poet and author, Sandy Jeffs has lived with schizophrenia for 38 years. She says, somewhat despairingly, that even though mental health is discussed more openly and other mental health conditions become more visible, schizophrenia has retreated further into the shadows. In a recent essay shortlisted for the Gavin Mooney Memorial Essay Competition, she says: “One has to be brave to say ‘I have schizophrenia’.” What’s needed most is a change of attitude across the community. SANE Australia recently called on the federal government to put in place a five year national stigma reduction campaign. I again urge the government to support this initiative, so that we can build a fair, decent and prosperous Australia in which we all have a place and contribution to make. Jack Heath, CEO SANE Australia

Burning thought
A better City Futures
THOSE charged with responsibility for the management and preservation of our environment could do a lot worse than take heed of the dire words of warning from Stuart Fraser in this week’s front page article. The relationship between our society and the fragile environment we are privileged to call our own has always been ever so delicately poised, but the seasoned and well respected Mr Fraser has sounded alarm bells about the present and declining state of the forests that surround our city, and which so many of us enjoy. It seems present management practices, combined with the ever-drying nature of the Box-ironbark ecological system, have compounded the forest’s woes, and it is Mr Fraser’s reasonable belief that the damage is at least serious, if not permanent. No one disputes the need of authorities to act to protect human life, or to look to minimise the risks posed by the forests we all love so much once temperatures rise and the dangers of a firs increase. Proactive, responsible and strategic measures aimed at minimising such risks are not only necessary, but are to be encouraged and have even been inscribed as government policy in the wake of the dead-
ness of nature. He believes Hardin’s observation is being demonstrated in the Box-ironbark forests that surround Bendigo as they are now subject to two new forces that together are bringing about significant unintended changes. The burning of large areas of forest surrounding Bendigo for fire mitigation purposes, together with the drying trend, has become a threatening process. It is leading to the rapid decline of structure within the remnant Box-ironbark forest. The loss of structure is resulting in a loss of ecosystem function as it is inextricably linked to structure. There will always be challenges associated with balancing the challenges posed by urban development on and around the fringes of our city where our interaction with the environment is most tested. But if this is to be seen as a canary in the cage moment, then we need to take note. It is Stuart Fraser’s assertion that the Box-ironbark forests surrounding Bendigo appear fragile not robust when presented with the combination of fire and dry. More simply put, Bendigo the “City in a Forest” is fast becoming a “City in a Dead Forest”.

Editorial Comment ly Black Saturday fires. But it is of some concern, and should be of great concern to everyone, that the imposition of a five per cent burn policy is now being viewed as a negative, rather than as the proactive policy it was originally designed to be. We’ve all seen examples of where strategic burns undertaken in the past have helped prevent potential disasters down the track when a bushfire has either been contained or diverted thanks to the deliberate and strategic actions completed under the control of authorities much earlier. But there are many who are concerned the five per cent burn target, together with the drying trend, are a disastrous combination when it comes to the Box-ironbark forest’s future. Writing to the Bendigo Weekly earlier this week, Mr Fraser said Garrett Hardin’s statement that “we can never do merely one thing,” was a profound and eloquent observation of the interconnected-
One of the key recommendations arising from the independent review of the City of Greater Bendigo’s operations was the call for council to examine splitting the massive City Futures directorate, often described as one of the key economic drivers of the community, and creating a stand-alone entity. Depending on who you listen to, that was either a recipe for disaster, the end of the arts in this city or the beginning of a brave new world.
By its nature, Bendigo is a far more diverse city today than it was just a decade ago And that’s about how respondents rated the idea, with more than 90 per cent of them expressing their desire for things to be left as they are. Council could do a lot worse than to take on board some of the intent behind some of those submissions it has opted to reject. Rejection need not mean something has been completely overlooked. None of us could argue that there is always a way to improve what we do, and the commitment to renewal, greater transparency and accountability is something we should always aspire to. By its nature, Bendigo is a far more diverse city today than it was just a decade ago, and that is a good thing. A di-
versity of cultures is just as important as diversity in the arts in any healthy democratic society. And the City Futures directorate is about a lot more than the arts and culture, although these twin peaks loom large to critics of the council. Listening to councillors express their views at Wednesday night’s meeting where this key topic was keenly debated, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the passion and the sentiments of councillors. Cr Rod Fyffe said Bendigo needs to continue to ensure it stays in front, and that our city is acknowledged across Victoria and even nationally as being leaders in the field of economic development, in the sense of using arts and culture, in encouraging small business, and larger business also. Service reviews are never a waste of time, and the opportunity for reflection can help better align an organisation’s strategic goals. There is no doubt the independent review, something many in our community did not initially support, has delivered enhancements to the City of Greater Bendigo, and for that, we should all be grateful. The veteran councillor wryly pointed out that when you are in front, you want to stay in front, saying it is easy to fall behind, but even more difficult to catch back up. Bendigo is the envy of many, but we lose nothing for wanting to ensure that the focus, the commitment and the passion for our city shared so far and wide, translates to as many economic benefits as Bendigo so richly deserves. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigopublishing.com

Black cat’s secret
Hot new venue for Public INN
There’s more then meets the eye to Steve’s rescued kitty
N
INA came to us via the RSPCA on one of their give-away-an-oldie weekends. She was a youngster really, but was certainly beyond kitten status. Nina moved into a shed we were living in while our house was being built (yes I know we were wrong to do it) and settled in at once. We nicknamed her Skinny because she was just like one of those Egyptian cats, fine boned and sleek. We thought she had a touch of Siamese in her, such was her shape. When we moved into the house Skinny came too, but goodness me she was no longer skinny. The name has stuck, and we have our very own chat noir, or should that be fat noir? I have had many cats in my life, I like their ways and an attitude to life which has an air of superiority. Skinny has a very uncatlike trait of going on evening walks. As the long suffering Mrs Kendall and I stroll
out with pug and Zip the kelpie of an evening, Skinny comes too. She generally hangs back a bit and complains a lot, I think about the length of the walk, but come wind, rain or hail Skinny’s on the walk. It’s funnier in the spring when the grass is longer, because she has to bunnyhop her way along. These cooler months she has an unswaying ritual. After a night in front of the log fire she has a morning stroll, and whatever cats do, and then sits at the window making a fuss until she’s let in. Mrs K and I have tea rituals in the morning, basically I get up at 6am while Mrs K waits for tea to arrive. Skinny joins in and snuggles up close in a bid to soak up more heat from the bedding. It was during one of these morning sessions we discovered one of Skinny’s secrets. Despite her being described as black, we found
T
she had a patch of white fur on her belly. The funny thing is she seems embarrassed that we know about it. Now we know about it we roll her on her back and rub her belly and talk about the furpatch, Skinny that is, not Mrs K. Skinny wriggles and twists to hide the errant white patch and we are left in no doubt it’s her private secret. She rules the room
in the morning, and has worked out that when we start to get dressed it’s time to hide. This is in the hope we will forget to let her out and she can relocate herself on the bed or by the fire. She must have the bladder the size of a bucket as she never seems to really need to go out. That, if nothing else, makes me jealous. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1
HE final touches on Castlemaine’s historic former fire station building will be completed this week, with local restaurant Public INN set to move in. Public INN owner Hayden Winch renovated the reelhouse facility and opened Café re-PUBLIC after it was left dormant until December 2011. The building’s large shed area was added to the existing reel-house facility at Templeton Street in 1906, where the fire brigade’s horse and cart was previously kept. Mr Winch began the second stage of the building’s conversion to create the new home of Public INN in 2005. No stranger to project managing and designing new restaurant spaces, Mr Winch has been involved with 10 others including The Dispensary in Bendigo. “We have worked closely with local craftsmen throughout the restoration and development; local builder Matt Boyle from Pumphouse Design has been highly influential, utilising reclaimed materials throughout the process,” he said.
“The façade is heritage inspired with hand crafted timbers and we have retained the building’s original single span Oregon beams. “We have reinstated Public INN’s famous barrel wall and the reclaimed Mountain Ash timber bar”. Mr Winch believes they have been able to capture the spirit of the original Public INN. “We have still featured raw timber grains and Danish inspired lighting, however this design is more matured – we have been able to make use of a blank canvas,” he said. The venue will also launch a third arm to the current offering, with brand new Depot Bar, a new wine bar and casual eating area with nothing over $30. Café re-PUBLIC and Depot Bar are open daily, Public INN is open evenings and weekend lunches. Bookings for new Public INN are being taken from Friday June 5 and will be open every day across the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Bookings can be made on 5472 3568.
Exhibition to raise vital funds T
HE Karen people will be the subject of a moving photographic exhibition to be held next week at Dudley House. The photographs were taken by Samantha Hamilton when she was working as a Bowen therapist in a Karen refugee camp on the Thai Burma border known as NuPo. With a population of 12,000 people, NuPo is the 3rd largest refugee camp on the border. Samantha said she went to the camp with all sorts of ideas of what she could donate money to but realised her ideas didn’t match the needs of the refugees.

“While living in the girls dorms, I’d lay awake at night listening to the big blue tarp rustle in the breeze. “The boys put the tarp up for our arrival, yet the girls were drenched due to a torrential downpour the week before,” she said. “I discussed this with the camp leader who went through costs with me. It appeared that the roofs need replacing every three years, being plant based, at a cost of approx $1000. “On my departure, I gave money to start the roofing project, with a promise to return with more money to replace the other roofs.
“I came up with the idea of a photographic exhibition to raise funds to take back to the camp. “I hope Bendigo people will come and learn a little about Karen culture and chat to some of our local Karen residents.” There will be a raffle, tea, coffee, donations, and photos are for sale. The exhibition is a joint project between The Karen Organisation Bendigo and City of Greater Bendigo – Community Grants program. It will be held at Dudley House on the Queens Birthday Long Weekend June 6 – June 8, 10am – 4pm. $5 entry. - Dianne Dempsey

Kitty Flanagan – taking life seriously? K
ITTY Flanagan is hitting the road for her third national tour with Bendigo set to experience her self-confessed “best show yet”. Packed with plenty of laughs, stupid voices and hard laughs, Kitty says the SERIOUSLY?! tour is sure to please regional fans. “I think it’s important to tour the regions so you don’t disappear up your own ‘funda-
ment’. If you constantly play to cliquey, city crowds you run the risk of becoming ‘mildly amusing and whimsical’ rather than just plain funny,” she says. “Regional touring keeps you sharp and in touch with a much wider audience. We always stop in Bendigo because you’ve got good food, good wine and great venues.” Kitty will take to the stage at the Ulumbarra Theatre on
June 5 at 7pm as part of her seven-month national tour. Kitty’s show is fittingly about gravediggers and cops, and she admits she is “perversely fascinated by gravediggers”. Kitty says a good joke must resonate with people and her favourite feedback – aside from loud laughter – was tapping into someone’s thoughts. With a busy schedule on
SBS’s The Weekly and filming series two of Utopia, the Sydneysider says the hardest part is being away from her dog. “Everything I’m doing is shot in Melbourne so I’ve been down here a lot and unfortunately Henry has to stay in Sydney, not on his own, obviously, he has a dog-minder,” Kitty says.

A song of Scotland
Digging for gold L
ola Montez the dark eyed, dark haired sensuous dancer and mediocre actress managed to sweep King Ludwig I off his feet and also from his throne. King Ludwig was far from the first, nor last, to come under the spell of this bold and pushy woman. After fleeing Bavaria, where Lola helped to a large degree foster a revolution in 1848, she was for a while in other countries of Europe doing what she knew best, enticing prominent men into her snare. When the Californian gold rushes broke out in 1849, the excitement this news generated in many parts of the world also became an opportunity for Lola Montez to escape some of the bad gossip that inevitably followed a character like hers. If Lola fell on hard times she invariably sold the magnificent and costly jewellery that former lovers had showered upon her.
(
To say that she managed her financial affairs very poorly would be quite justified. Her attitude to financial matters was much like that of the early gold diggers, of, “easy come and easy go”. California like all of the 19th century gold rushes in various parts of the world, attracted initially a predominantly male population. Starved of the presence in number of the fairer sex, these gold diggers required very little titillating to respond to a character such as Lola Montez. Lola through her bodily gyrations, particularly in her signature “Spider Dance” was an affront to the publicly professed attitudes of Victorian society. Yet the Spider Dance was a most acceptable form of entertainment to the gold diggers. During the Victorian period, the long voluminous skirts worn by women helped to hide their legs from the view of men. The skin of the

face, upper neck, and the hands of women were about all that could be revealed in public. In polite society at any get-together of mixed gender groups, gloves for women and frequently men too were a social necessity. Multiple petticoats were worn under the predominately dour coloured skirts and dresses that the women wore during Victorian times. As for footwear, like many men, women too wore boots, combining these with the groundsweeping skirts, one rarely even saw an ankle. Lola Montez deliberately made use of these Victorian circumstances while dancing on the stage. As part of her costume for the Spider Dance she too would have multiple petticoats in which she pretended that there was somewhere a spider that she would need to reveal. During the Spider Dance, Lola would at first show just a little

bit of her legs as she teasingly lifted her skirts just a very small amount. Gradually as the level of blood pressure in the audience grew so did the level of her skirt and petticoats as she desperately attempted to find the recalcitrant spider. Californian diggers were encouraged to shower gold nuggets at her feet on the stage. Today, this in a business sense may well be referred to as “double dipping”. The diggers had already in most instances paid a good price to see Lola Montez perform. While on the Californian goldfields Lola took considerable
interest in mining activity, she was familiar with the diggers’ mining implements, machinery and techniques. She had witnessed the increased mechanisation of the diggings, becoming familiar with steam engines used in powering machinery. She became an investor in some of the Californian mining enterprises with which she had become acquainted and had her own house on those diggings. Her reputation for some of the outlandish things she did and was doing, had preceded her to the Australian colonies.
T the time of its publication A Scots Quair was considered by many publishers to be too hot to handle, not only because of its unabashed political agenda but because it was deeply sensual. Lewis Grassic Gibbon is the pseudonym of J Leslie Mitchell. Born in an Aberdeenshire croft in 1901, he read his way out of poverty. He fought in the WWI; was a fervent Scots nationalist and along with the poet Hugh MacDiarmid proposed that Scotland’s salvation could only lie in Communism. He was a prolific writer of journalism, travel writing, short stories, novels, biography and history but he will always be remembered for A Scots Quair. This great and eloquent book traces the plight of Scotland through the eyes of Chris Guthrie. A personification of Scotland, “She could never leave it, this life of toiling days and the needs of beasts and the smoke of wood fires and the air that stung your throat so acrid, Autumn and Spring, she was bound and held as though they had imprisoned her here.” In the first and best book of the trilogy, Sunset Song, Chris Guthrie is married to a crofter and a life of seasons and harvests. To get a sense of Gibbon’s
style think of him as a northern D H Lawrence. Like Lawrence, Gibbon is preoccupied with the dichotomy between landscape and industrialization and like Lawrence he goes to the heart of women and their sexuality. Chris’ marriages are wonderful love stories of sexual gratification and companionship. But the war claims many of Scotland’s sons, including Chris’s husband. In the second book, Cloud Howe, Chris is living among a small community of weavers who are gradually starved out by industrialisation. Chris’s second husband, a Kirk minister, fights for his parishioners but Chris has little faith in the church’s ability to help them. The third book, Grey Granite, is flawed by proselytising. Chris, once more widowed, witnesses the savagery of the Depression and her son’s involvement with the Communist Party. At the very end she returns to the crofts. The scale and vision of the story prevents it from being dated. Lewis Grassic Gibbon tragically never received the acclaim he deserved.

IAN MOSS
Rocker’s tour set to roll on HEADING back on the road, five-time ARIA winner Ian Moss is embarking on a solo regional tour. One of Australia’s most iconic musicians, Moss is taking his distinctive vocals on a solo, Six Strings Classics Tour, this May to July. Moss will be performing all the classic hits from his Six Strings, Let’s All Get Together and Soul on West 53rd albums. With his distinctive vocals, soloist Moss will belt out his soulful, bluesy acoustic tunes across his three-month tour. The former Cold Chisel member was voted Australia’s best singer/guitarist by Australian Musician last year. His intimate performance is expected to draw fans from over the years with many Cold Chisel classics on show. Locals can see Moss live at the Capital Theatre on June 6. Tickets are available at www.ianmoss.com.au

Spring Gully has been identified as the priority area for development. It’s easily accessible from the city centre, and intersects with the Bendigo Bushland Trail and the Goldfields Track which links Bendigo with Ballarat. The Goldfields Track has recently been deemed a trail of significance by the state government. The Ride Goldfields concept will see five mountain bike trail networks along its route including Harcourt and Spring Gully. The club is currently seeking funding to have around 30 kilometres of world class trails prepared by a profes-

Pest Control Advertising Feature
A proven deterrent T
ERMITES are so often referred to as “white ants” or as Everyday Pest Control like to call them “silent destroyers”. Termites may be thriving in your home or garden with no sign of immediate damage. Termites mostly feed on dead plant material, generally in the form of wood. This can cause serious structural damage to your home or work place. “There are two key forms of termite control, prevention and remediation,” Everyday Pest Control’s Rob Muller said. ”Our experts can quickly assess your problem and provide a free
fixed price quote.” Everyday Pest Control can even recommend and install physical or chemical barriers that will deter termites from infesting your home, office or factory. Physical barriers can include both natural materials and specifically made synthetic barriers. Chemical barriers are insecticides that are applied to the soil or structure and deter termites. If your building is already infested with termites, Everyday Pest Control offer a variety of solutions including monitoring, baiting, dusting, spraying as well as the barriers previously mentioned.
“The key is to kill the queen, if the queen is still alive the colony can quickly regenerate.” Rob said. “When we’ve found the colony we use the new generation Altriset environmentally friendly insecticide, that specifically targets termites.” Termites stay alive long enough to transfer the insecticide back to the nest and the queen destroying the colony. And just to be sure Everyday Pest Control complete a 90 day inspection to make sure the initial treatment was successful. Everyday Pest Control – phone 1300 144 309. www.everydaypestcontrol.com.au

RE you being overrun by unwanted guests especially the four legged or exoskeletal variety? If so Bye Pest’s Darren Curren has the solution, seven days a week. “At this time of year I’m generally kept busy with baiting programs for rodents,” Darren said. “This cooler weather soon gets rats and mice out-and-about seeking out a dryer, warmer environment.” However, Bye Pest do more than bait rodents, they can also keep your house or commercial property insect and termite free. Darren is a licensed termite inspector and technician with the national Termguard group. Termguard have developed an effective termite management system, without the need for manual spraying that provides for uninterrupted, maximum protection against subterranean termites. “Termites are generally more active in summer when they start
seeking moisture,“ Darren said, while explaining Termguard’s innovative deterrent systems have been successfully installed in 125,000 buildings across Australia and are now currently being installed in USA, Asia and the Middle East. “For termites I usually conduct a pre-treatment inspection as there
are so many variables for successful treatment.” he said. Darren can effectively spray your property for all varieties of insects including spiders and mosquitoes as well as termites and recommends an annual visit to keep spiders and mosquitoes in check. Phone Bye Pest’s Darren Curren on 0400 936 738 to find out more.

A chance to shine By JOEL PETERSON
OPTIONS: Golden Square’s Amy Davies. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
Top games on offer From Page 40 The talking point of the game will be the match up of Square goaler Gabe Richards and Dragons defender Heather Oliver. Teammates at Bendigo Spirit, the girls will line up against each other for the first time this year. “I am really looking forward to seeing these two elite athletes come up against each other. They both have great skills so it will be a matter of smarts on the day,” Marrone said. “The Richards/Oliver matchup is one not to be missed.” Cathcart believes they need to ensure Richards isn’t influential. “We’ve had to look at strategies to combat that high ball into Gabe,” she said.
“It’s about stopping the supply in to their shooters.” All 16 football and netball sides from Golden Square and Sandhurst are positioned in the top four coming into this round. Marrone believes Saturday is shaping to be highly competitive with “big clashes all around”. “The winner of this game will be in a good position going into the second half of the season,” she noted. “I think that all teams will come out firing in future games so anything could happen by the time we hit finals.” This weekend’s clash also coincides with a Golden Square netballers reunion which will be held from 12pm until late.
DEFENSIVE pressure will be key if Sandhurst is to cement second place on the Bendigo Football Netball League table when the Dragons clash with Golden Square on Saturday. The second-placed Dragons head to Wade Street in red-hot form after demolishing Gisborne before the interleague bye, while the hosts are coming off a crucial away win over Eaglehawk in round seven. The Dogs will likely be without Bendigo interleague captain Jack Geary, who sustained a concussion and arm injury in Bendigo’s crushing loss to Ballarat last weekend. Dragons coach Brett Fitzpatrick’s side was playing sparkling football before the break, matching its offensive potency with defensive intensity. “We had to offset some of the losses after Pat Jennings left at the end of the season and the boys down back have been great,” Fitzpatrick said. “We have to limit the run of our opposition, so our mids and half forwards have a role and have started to understand that.”
The Dragons have held their last five opponents to a total of 194 points, including scores of 25 and 10 by Castlemaine and Gisborne, respectively. That comes in stark contrast to the 679 points and average winning margin of 94 points the Dragons have recorded in their last five games. Inaccuracy has plagued Sandhurst all season long, returning 127.148 on the season. Only twice – in rounds one and three – have the Dragons returned more goals than behinds. Golden Square has won four games in a row, including the impressive defeat of Eaglehawk on the Borough’s home deck. Sandhurst has fared well at Wade St in recent seasons though, winning there in each of the last three seasons including a 52-point win last year. Fitzpatrick said that recent success means nothing, considering the recruiting both sides did coming into this season. Adam Parry, Alex Pollock, Zac East, Koe Ngawati and Galen Munari have fitted seamlessly into Sandhurst’s side, while Ryan Herring, Tom Toma,
DETERMINED: Sandhurst midfielder Jake McLean. Dave Symons and Brayden Dorrington have all made a big impact at Square. Fitzpatrick said Square’s forward line is as good as any side in the competition’s. “They are a different lineup to what we have seen, and I think their forward line, when their full side is in, offers probably the equal strongest in the competition, right up there with Strath,” he said. “It’s a good even spread right across their forward line and they will
create plenty of opportunities for themselves. “You can control those guys, or a lot of those guys can get away from you, and its about how you control that when they put their hands up.” In other round eight games, the league’s two big improvers in South Bendigo and Castlemaine meet at the QEO, finals hopefuls do battle when Kyneton hosts Kangaroo Flat, Mayborough is at home to Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye takes on Gisborne.

Reaching goals By BRIDGETTE BARRY-MURPHY
BENDIGO Thunder is in a significantly different position to this time last year. After battling through a winless 2014 season, the Victorian Womens Football League club is heading in the right direction on and off the field. Moving from the state’s premier division down to division one has resulted in a competitive opening six rounds of the season. President Chris Coughlan said in hindsight it may have been a mistake to enter the state’s top league. “We found that we had lost a lot of players, we were being belted by every team in premier divison,” he said. “We made a lot of changes on and off the field after last year. “We needed to tidy up and become more professional in our approach off the ground. “We decided to bring in a board of nine committed people who really wanted to make a difference and didn’t want to see the club slide into oblivion.” Coughlan believes incoming coach Craig Riddiford, who has led the side to sixth place on the ladder early into his first season, has created a culture shift. Encouraging sharing of ideas, the president said the coaching style has encouraged players to take ownership of the club. “Obviously we would like to win as many games

EARLY SUCCESS: The Thunder has three wins after six rounds. as we can,” Coughlan said. “We want to establish a club that will be here for years to come and will gradually build up. “We’d love to get back into premier division. But realistically we wish to first establish that we are a solid club, build up a financial basis and build up support.” In its fifth year, the club hopes to draw more young girls toward the sport to encourage the VWFL community to grow. “We’re building links
with other girls youth teams. The under-18s from over towards Shepparton and Kyabram as well as our own local teams here,” Coughlan explained. “We’d like those girls to come and play with us once they turn 18. “I think young girls are realising there is a pathway through into senior football and we’re starting to see the benefits of that.” The Thunder plays fifth-placed Knox FC at Schultz Reserve on Sunday afternoon.
City returns to winning form BENDIGO City made a much welcomed return to the winners list on the road last weekend, getting the better of Kingston City in National Premier Leagues Victoria action. The side has won just one of its past seven games going into the match, but came away with a muchneeded 2-0 win. Riley Dillon and Karl Slevin each scored for the visitors under the lights of Kingston’s Grange Reserve. Coach Greg Thomas said this week the win had come at a vital time, as the side embarks on the second half of the season. “It gave the boys plenty of confidence. We put a big focus on our defence and making sure we did things right down back,” he said. “We did that, and I was
really pleased with how we played and obviously with the result.” This Saturday’s game against Moreland City will mark the half way point of the season for City, which will have played 14 of its 28 games this season after the encounter. Bendigo is eighth on the NPL1 West table, with four wins, three draws and six losses from its opening 13 fixtures. City stood pat at the close of the transfer window, signing only local Hugh Gibson and Ballarat’s Tristan Romein, while Jordan Seeto departed. “We would obviously like to be further up the table, but we have a far smaller squad than most clubs and most of the players were new to the club and each other,
Miners chasing hat-trick THE Bendigo Fighting Miners notched consecutive victories for the first time this season on Saturday with a 12-point win over Melbourne Chargers. It was the club’s first away win of the season, coming after yet another slow start. While the Miners had the upper hand throughout, they struggled to shake off the tenacious Chargers. The Chargers were first to score when they ran in an unconverted try in the third minute of the game. The Miners struck back seven minutes later when Ryan Spedding broke SKIPPER: Bendigo City’s George Slefendorfas.
so we anticipated the start of the season would be difficult,” Thomas said. “Now that we have got through the transfer window and settled down, hopefully we can come home with some strong results.” Bendigo drew 2-2 with Moreland in the season’s opening round, and Thomas
is keen to make amends for a game that got away. “I felt we should have won that game, so we will be looking to make up for that, definitely,” he said. Bendigo City takes on Moreland City from 3pm on Saturday at Moreland’s Campbell Reserve. - Joel Peterson
through the Chargers defence, running on to an inside pass from Fareni Moefaauo and linking up with Mylez Petelo who touched down in the corner. A converted try to Ale Liliva after a rare drop goal stretched the Bendigo lead to 17-5 but the Chargers hit back with two tries to go to the half-time break only two points in arrears. The injection into the game at half-time of Jesse Tuitupou was a game changer as the big number eight put the Chargers’ defence under pressure, scoring two tries. The Chargers wouldn’t go
away and reduced the Miners’ lead to nine points with ten minutes remaining after a try created by former Melbourne Rebel Lachie Mitchell. Bendigo sealed victory late in the piece when young winger Keegan Steedman recovered a cross-kick from Moefaauo to score his maiden try. Among the better players for Bendigo were full-back Josh Manderson, Spedding, Liliva and livewire Jesse Tuitupou. Bendigo is at home to Puckapunyal on Saturday afternoon at Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve.
Mixed bag for Spirit stars BENDIGO Spirit’s Australian Opals contingent has had a mixed start to its European tour, losing both its games to Serbia despite some positive signs. The Aussies were thumped in their opening game, beaten 75-54 by a dominant Serbian line up preparing for the upcoming Olympic European qualifiers. The Opals then stepped up from their opening match defeat with a determined performance in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Vrsac. Former Bendigo guard Maddie Garrick scored nine points in the opening match on debut for the Opals, while Tess Lavey – whose future with the Spirit
is still unclear – had 10 points and six assists in the second game. “For a young team, we made huge drives from the first game to the second game so I’m actually really happy with the performance,” Opals coach Brendan Joyce said. Belinda Snell scored 13 points in 16 minutes for the Opals in the second contest, while Spirit point guard Kelly Wilson has had a quieter tour so far. The Opals are currently in Italy to play the home side, ranked 29 in the world. The first of three games was played on Friday morning AEST. Joyce is optimistic of coming away from the series with “a win or two.”

Top teams face off By BRIDGETTE BARRY-MURPHY
A TOP of the table clash between Golden Square and Sandhurst A-grade netball sides will decide who remains undefeated going into round nine. Golden Square is sitting on top of the ladder, two points ahead of Sandhurst who drew with Gisborne last round. The last time the teams met was in round 17 last season when Golden Square crushed Sandhurst by 28 goals. Sandhurst has improved markedly on last year’s disappointing seventh-placed finish, currently sitting second on the ladder after eight rounds. Dragons coach Carol Cathcart said her midcourt will be the key to disrupting Golden Square’s formidable attack. “They’ve been the in-form team, they’ve won by big margins in their games and they beat last year’s premiers in the very first round and so we’re expecting a really tough tussle,” she said. “It will be key to really put that defensive pressure on before it gets into Golden Square’s attack end but also making sure that we get the ball down to our attack end quickly and be able to deliver effectively into our shooters. “The game will be about testing ourselves and seeing where we’re at, and making sure we’re preparing for the end of the year.” Golden Square coach Lia Marrone is expecting a very competitive, fast-paced game. “This is going to be a big game for us. It is one that we have been working towards,” she said. “We need to back each other and capitalise on our possessions. “All grades have put in a solid training session this week - we are ready and raring for the game ahead.” Continued Page 37
