POOL PARTY Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

DIVISIONS among City of Greater Bendigo councillors once again surfaced this week over the Kangaroo Flat 50-metre pool debate. Five councillors voted in favour of a recommendation for a 50m pool at the proposed Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre.

Councillors take plunge on 50 metres

Councillors Barry Lyons, Mark Weragoda, Rod Fyffe, James Williams and Lisa Ruffell threw their support behind the $30 million plan which includes the demolition of the existing Kangaroo Flat Community Leisure Centre. But councillors Helen Leach,

Rod Campbell, Elise Chapman and Peter Cox spoke against the motion, lobbying to keep the existing centre. “I was in support of a 50m pool but on the basis the leisure centre and oval were retained and we did the 50m pool so we could accom-

modate every single user group of the site,” Cr Chapman said. “If you are going to demolish an asset of the community I would imagine you have to have good reason to do that. There was not one put forward.” Cr Campbell said the 25m pool

was “more than adequate” and did not believe councillors had wanted a 50m pool. “In 2012 the council, after having received a substantial petition from people in Kangaroo Flat, council went with a ‘sounds wonderful decision’ to go for a 50m pool complex,” he said.

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

End of an era for Drew ONE of Bendigo’s most respected and popular real estate agents has announced his retirement from an industry he has been part of for more than 39 years. Dungey Carter Ketterer director Drew Cahill joined the former Billings Cahill firm, based on View Point back in May 1976 before the business merged with the Mitchell Street based L L Dungey & Sons, and then with J W Carter & Sons in 1982. Mr Cahill says he was humbled to be first non-family member to be installed as a partner in the firm in 1990, and in 1996 the successful merger of Dungey & Carter Pty Ltd with J V Ketterer Pty Ltd followed under the directorship of Robert Ketterer to form Dungey Carter Ketterer, which now employs about 40 local people. Between appointments and over a coffee in one of Bendigo’s many fine cafes earlier this week, the incredibly popular Mr Cahill seems to know every single customer who passes by, and they are all keen to offer the affable agent their best wishes for the future. Looking back on his career, Mr Cahill says he has been privileged to see so much change and growth in the industry and in Bendigo. He nominates changes in technology and especially the advent of computers and mo-

bile phones, as well as the establishment in 1997 of the former Bendigo Homes & Property, now known as the Bendigo Weekly, as highlights. “The advent of the Bendigo Weekly has shown the enormous strength of the local market, and the ability of the agents to work together,” he said. Mr Cahill also thanked other local real estate agents for their friendship, support and association over his time in the industry, as well as the City of Greater Bendigo, the legal fraternity and all his clients. Mr Cahill said he retires on June 30 in good health, and is looking forward to enjoying the next chapter of his life, but that he will miss the competitive nature of the real estate game, the comradery and the DCK office culture and staff. “It’s been a wonderful career, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” he said. AUCTIONEERS shared tips and tricks of the trade at the Australian Livestock & Property Agents Association (ALPA) auctioneers school this week. ALPS, the peak industry body for livestock and property hosted a professional development day in Bendigo on Wednesday and Thursday at the saleyards.

RETIRING: Drew Cahill. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN The auctioneers schools are run across the country to help enhance auctioneering techniques, skills and knowledge of the agency industry. ALPA state committee members, speech pathologists and ALPA representatives attended the event to pass on valuable, practical experience. Chief executive officer Andy Madigan it was the 25th anniversary of the auction school. “From learning at auctioneers’ school to competing at a state and national level, these auctioneers are provided with the training they need to progress their careers

and contribute to the future of the profession,” he said. In New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia each year there is one auctioneer school where 10 young auctioneers under the age of 25 are selected to compete in their State Auctioneers Competition. Competitors are judged on their diction, values, voice and manner, as well as their presence, style and performance. The winner and runner-up of each state competition compete in the next year’s National Competition at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

More small homes needed

By PETER KENNEDY

ONE of regional Australia’s most respected planning experts says housing affordability is an issue in Bendigo, and it’s likely to pose more problems in the years ahead. Trevor Budge AM, is the City Strategy manager for the City of Greater Bendigo, and has presided on planning panels for the state government and served as president of the Victorian division of the Planning Institute of Australia. He also maintains close links with La Trobe University where he has worked as associate professor of the Community Planning and Development Program. Mr Budge this week said while more than 90 per cent of

new homes built in Bendigo were either three or four bedroom properties, there was significant unmet demand for properties offering just one or two bedrooms. He said housing affordability was an issue for particular segments of the local market, and that there were examples of people living in sheds, converted containers and caravans in locations on the city’s fringe. “Council is aware of people living in tough circumstances in some bush areas, with no services, around Bendigo,” he said. Mr Budge says while this is partially a reflection of the success of Bendigo in one way, importantly, it also shows some residents cannot access housing to meet their needs, or housing that they can afford.

Expectations of what people need and want in a house from day one have also changed in recent years, and developers are seeking to match that demand. “There’s community pressure on people to have all that from

a compact city with 10 minute neighbourhoods is to be a reality. With 55 per cent of all households here being one or two persons there is an urgent need for a greater variety of housing stock,’’ Mr Budge said.

There must be a greater focus on constructing medium-density housing day one,” he said. Mr Budge said the city was experiencing a housing boom but the number of units being constructed was short of what was needed or what was desirable especially in inner-city areas. “There must be a greater focus on constructing medium-density housing if the council’s vision of

Just 122 units or apartments were built in Bendigo between July 2013 and March this year, while in Ballarat 232 units or apartments were built, and in Geelong the figure was 762. Mr Budge said across Victoria more than 40 per cent of all dwelling approvals were for units or apartments. Here the figure

was just over five per cent. He nominates locations such as the Bridge Street precinct, the Fortuna precinct and the inner city as areas well suited for more development, as well as land at the former Coliban Water site on Alder Street, surplus land on Osborne Street in Flora Hill, and land in and around local railway stations as possible locations for medium density housing projects in the future. He said the development of a housing strategy for Greater Bendigo that identifies residential neighbourhood zones and targets between 12 to15 sites for development up to four storeys high, was an important future step towards council’s goal of making Greater Bendigo Australia’s most liveable regional city.

Chinese archway on hold

Final sunset for cranes JUST one crane towers over the new Bendigo hospital, as the sun starts to set on the project. Bendigo Weekly photographer Andrew Perryman chose the right moment to capture the changing Bendigo skyline to create a lasting image of the continuing development of the city.

THE Bendigo Chinese Association must wait for a mid-year City of Greater Bendigo budget review to learn whether or when funds for a replacement archway will be provided. Council voted on Wednesday night to adopt the 2015/16 budget, and to refer consideration of three projects, including the Chinese archway, to the mid-year review for funding consideration. A BCA spokesperson said while it must be conceded that council has to consider a diverse range of demands on the city’s income and acknowledged resources have to be split amongst many competing community groups, the decision to defer replacement of the Chinese archway was still a disappointment to the Chinese community whose support for Bendigo goes back to the days of the gold rush. “The dismantling of the archway was a desecration according to the cultural traditions of the Chinese people,” vicepresident of the BCA Russell Jack said last week. The City of Greater Bendigo 2008 Citizen of the Year also said the BCA considered the archway to be a vital and spiritual link to the Golden City Chinese Museum and the Chinese precinct, Dai Gum San. The archway was a gift to the City of Greater Bendigo in 1996 from the Baoding government. In a recent submission to council BCA president Charles Lougoon expressed concern that Bendigo would lose faith with the Chinese government. - Dianne Dempsey

Rates rise takes a dip

By CHRISTINE McGINN

THE rates rise increase in the City of Greater Bendigo’s 2015/16 budget has dropped to 4.75 per cent. Councillors voted at Wednesday’s council meeting to reduce rates by 0.25 per cent from the draft budget’s forecast five per cent. It was the first time in the city’s history rates had been changed between draft and final budgets.

Capital and major works will receive a $63.32m funding boost with $99.4m to be raised through general rates and charges. About $167m in services will also be delivered. Mayor Peter Cox said the lower rates rise proved council was listening to ratepayers and displaying economic responsibility. “Greater Bendigo has a bright future and these projects and services provided by the city will continue to support council’s vision for Bendigo to be the most

liveable regional city in Australia,” he said. Despite it being his seventh budget, Cr Barry Lyons said it

La Trobe hopes to build a new teaching and learning centre and a sport and community health building in eight to 15 years, as part of the medium- to long-term goals. But the number of academic and residential facilities will be built in 15 years or more to ensure students are attracted to the heat of the centre.

port and attract people to colocate with us on the campus, to better integrate the campus into the life of Bendigo,” professor Dewar said. “We also wanted to improve the campus to make it a place where people spend time.” Prof. Dewar said he was excited about the plan but there was a lot of work to finance the grand plans. “We are probably looking at $100 million in the next couple of decades. My job now is to start persuading government of all levels and other people to help us raise the cash,” he said. Prof. Dewar said university’s restructure had been

necessary to help fund the university’s capacity to invest in development. “There is no point having a strategy that you can’t support financially and we knew that what we are trying to do would require university to invest. Until last year, we almost had no capacity to do that,” he said. “We needed to give ourselves a chance to have the capacity to put towards what we want to do. We will put some of the university’s resources towards this but we won’t be able to do it alone.” Prof. Dewar also accepted his second term as vice-chancellor with the university this week.

FUNDING for roads in Greater Bendigo will double under an initiative to redirect the fuel excise indexation funds to local government. The Australian Local Government Association welcomed the move to the estimated $1.1 billion from the first two years of the indexation into Roads to Recovery. ALGA president Troy Pickard said the move helped develop local economies and create jobs. “The Roads to Recovery program is vital for improving the state of our local roads network and the initiative put on the table by the opposition is a great option for delivering substantial increases in resources for councils to continue this important work,” he said. “Local government faces a huge task in managing our local roads infrastructure, which is more than 670,000 kilometres in length and valued at more than $165 billion. This infrastructure plays an essential role in sustaining local economies by connecting freight networks across regions. “We’re calling on the government to accept the ALP’s proposal and confirm that the revenue collected from the first two years of a return to indexation of fuel excise will be directed towards additional Roads to Recovery funding.” Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters was pleased the government had backed their plan to redirect funds into local roads. “Over the next five years the City of Greater Bendigo will receive about $9.5m in Roads to Recovery funding but this figure will increase significantly under Labor’s plan,” she said. “Funding to fix up local roads will be more than double. It’s vital funding. “On multiple occasions local roads like the Edwards Road in Maiden Gully and HeathcoteRedesdale Road have been raised with me. Local residents believe these roads are becoming quite dangerous. “This funding will allow the City of Greater Bendigo and the state government to upgrade and fix troubled spots.”

VISIONARY plans for La Trobe University’s Bendigo campus were revealed this week. The campus will be transformed and renewed in the next 15 years with short, medium and long-term plans for development. MGS Architects’ June report found the university needed to develop key partnerships, increase transport and community engagement. The university’s vision is to “reach out and embrace Bendigo” and draw students and locals to the campus. The plan considers the new proposed Public Transport Victoria bus route an early win while the existing library will

The budget was adopted and will be sent to Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins by the end of the month. GLANVILLE Page 18

Rides set to return

By CHRISTINE McGINN

CARNIVAL operators will be asked to provide expressions of interest to be part of the Bendigo Easter Festival for next year. City of Greater Bendigo major events manager Terry Karamaloudis said council was looking at other amusement ride options since the Victorian Showman’s Guild left the festival. “We have listened to the feedback from patrons who attended this year’s festival and we are keen to find out what’s available in terms of amusement rides that would not only enhance the festival, but also provide additional entertainment for people of all ages especially the teenage/youth market,” he said. “Each year we look at how we can improve the festival in a sustainable way. We recognise that we need to offer more entertainment

Groups at odds over pool decision KANGAROO Flat Community Enterprise has won its battle for a 50-metre pool in the new aquatic centre on Browning Street. KFCE president Jack Lyons said the City of Greater Bendigo councillors’ decision to build a 50m pool was terrific. “We were not pushing for the demolition of the leisure centre and I have talked to Don (McKinnon) about that. It was not our decision, it was council’s. But apparently it was par for the course. We are thrilled with the decision for the 50m pool and can’t wait for them to begin building,” he said. Mr Lyons said council had a tough decision to balance the books while considering the future health and wellbeing of local residents. The KFCE has promised

will be available for the new amusement ride zone and we will now test the market to see what level of interest exists,” he said. Mr Karamaloudis said amusement ride operators would have to pay a site fee to be part of the festival. “The fee will cover the actual logistical costs borne by the festival to provide power, security, fencing, generators, electrical services, waste management, first aid services and site/risk management for a zone featuring large rides at the festival,” he said. “The expression of interest which is endorsed by the Bendigo Easter Festival Reference Group is about having a serious look at including amusements rides that will enhance and complement the Bendigo Easter Festival in the future.” Operators can register and find information at www. tenderlink.com/bendigo.

Council decides on 50 metres From Page 1 “Council endorsed that but there was not a lot of substance behind their thinking, it’s not the substance we have today when we look at it.” Cr Campbell even suggested a 25m pool with the need to expand to 50m if the demand was there. But Cr Barry Lyons said the matter had been in planning for six years and it was time the council made their view clear to the community. Cr Lisa Ruffell said councillors had previously agreed to the 50m pool as their top priority and asked the directors to lobby for additional funding.

“I saw it as our number one priority and we had a healthy debate about the pool size. I thought it was our number one priority, I agreed to chase the funding and we succeeded,” she said. “We have to make a decision and stick to it. We have to be leaders and show the community that we will stick to it.” Cr Lyons moved a second motion to apply to the federal government’s National Stronger Regions Fund (NSRF) for $4.85m towards the cost. Councillors unanimously agreed to the motion. Council never applied to the NSRF for funding for the pool despite hoping $5m would filter into the project.

ON A WAVE: KFCE members celebrate.

$1m towards the project, with $100,000 ready to hand to the council for operational costs. “Our next step is fundraising and we have to return calls to the businesses that want to contribute money,” Mr Lyons said. Kangaroo Flat Community Leisure Centre chairman Don McKinnon said it was disappointing the existing centre had to be demolished. “The council has put a bomb under the centre and now it’s waiting for Stan Liacos and Pauline Gordon to light the fuel,” Mr McKinnon said. “I have put at least six years into building the centre and more than two-and-a-half years trying to save it. It has cost a lot of time.” Mr McKinnon said it was an insult to have council neglect the building.

At the end of 1984 his beloved daughter Ondine, along with her partner David, was murdered by a drug addict as they were travelling to Sydney. “The writing took more out of me than I thought it would,” Graeme says. “I was thinking of her every day, it really knocked me around. “The experience of writing about Ondine may have been a bit cathartic but my main objective was to preserve her memory and also to dissociate her reputation from the murderer who was a drug dealer.” There were good times at Passing Clouds both before the tragedy and after.

I have no other source of income except from my writing and the grants gave a me a breathing space.

This shift of funding has been criticised by both artists and the Labor Party alike. Opposition leader Bill Shorten attended a protest rally shortly after the cuts were announced and criticised Mr Brandis on the basis he believed the minister was taking personal political control over the distribution of arts funding.

Fund cuts have local impact LAST month’s budget cut to the Australia Council for the Arts are expected to have a dramatic impact on the local arts community. Approximately 15 per cent of the council’s total budget – $105 million – has been diverted to fund the National Programme for Excellence in the Arts, to be administered by Senator Brandis’ ministry. As a result, the peak arts body has announced several adjustments, including cutting the artist-in-residence program, the ArtsStart and Creative Communities Partnership Initiative, the six-year funding for organisations program and the suspension of individual artists’ grants. The cuts will impact on the Bendigo Writers Festival, which received a small grant from the council. Bendigo Writers Festival artistic director Rosemary Sorensen said the cuts were a big blow for country areas in particular. “The cuts will not only impact on the writers festival but it will affect many other festivals and arts groups in country areas. Most organisations apply for both federal and regional funding,” Ms Sorensen said. “Other people who will be af-

PUT a vigneron and a chef together, mix with stories, erudition and Graeme Leith’s memoir of Passing Clouds, and you have one of the best sessions at this year’s Bendigo Writers Festival. Conducted by Keith Sutherland, the session will no doubt cover the rich and passionate lives of both men who have ventured far and wide across the globe and who share a passion for Stefano de Pieri’s place of birth Italy. Graeme Leith travelled to Europe as a young man and fell in love with wine in Perugia, Italy and his first wife Vosje in Holland. Stefano de Pieri came to Melbourne as an 18-year-old, went to university, hung with Carlton’s intelligentsia including Graeme Leith and

then married Donata Carrazza and established his fabulous restaurant at The Grand Hotel in Mildura. Stefano and Donata were instrumental in establishing the Mildura Writers Festival which is one of Australia’s best kept literary secrets, apart from the Bendigo Writers Festival of course. No doubt the conversation will stray from politics to wine and food and to books, in particular Graeme’s Passing Clouds A Winemaker’s Journey. Now in his 70s, Graeme says he never harboured a desire to write a book but his memoirs evolved from what was to be a coffee table book. “I showed the notes to a friend who suggested I expand it, provide the reader with more anecdotes, and find an editor,” he says. Apart from expanding on the memoirs, his

BENDIGO’S Longest Lunch has raised funds to help find a cure for prostate cancer. Bendigo Winegrowers Association ran the lunch earlier in the year at Rosalind Park raising about $800 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. One of the event organisers Wes Vine said each year that funds raised from the raffle were donated back to worthwhile causes. Mr Vine said the winegrowers were proud to donate funds to the foundation and to help raise

awareness about prostate cancer. Another event, the annual Bendigo Weekly Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch, will be held on November 27 at a new home – the stunning Ulumbarra Theatre. Organiser Keith Sutherland said plans were well under way with some sponsors already on board. Early gold sponsors include the City of Greater Bendigo, CBA, Bendigo Toyota, St John of God, Win TV, Bendigo Weekly with Bendigo Health, Telstra and The Foundry Hotel already

secured as silver sponsors. Former Bendigo local and gym owner Tony Doherty will be the main guest speaker and share his insight into men’s health. Mr Sutherland said Mr Doherty had secured a onein-a-lifetime raffle item – an Arnold Schwarzenegger sponsors lunch and hall of fame dinner for two hosted by Arnie. Those eager to donate main auction lots can contact Mr Sutherland on 0418 509 430 or call Julie Batey at the Weekly on 5440 2544 to book a table at the event.

Water still a worry person said the rising groundwater was “a legacy issue for Bendigo”. “The Victorian government... is taking this issue seriously as the groundwater needs to be dealt with so it doesn’t seep into the environment, cause odour issues in central Bendigo though Bendigo Creek and doesn’t infiltrate the Central Deborah tourist mine,” the spokesperson said. “Pumping the water to the Woodvale ponds is currently managing the issue. “The government is also undertaking a regime of testing the soil and water tanks in the immediate vicinity of

the Woodvale ponds as a precautionary measure and in response to community concerns about potential contamination. Results from these tests will be known shortly and the community will be informed.” The spokesperson said Woodvale ponds were a purpose built facility for managing the groundwater and DEWLP was working with key stakeholders to find a long-term solution. Mayor Peter Cox said pumping water to the Woodvale evaporation ponds was “not the solution to groundwater”. “It is the state government’s responsibil-

ity. Victoria was built on Bendigo and Ballarat gold and it is not only that Bendigo benefitted from the gold discoveries. Melbourne grew up on Bendigo’s gold,” he said. “Councils have never had responsibility for groundwater so there is a number of long-term solutions on the table and Woodvale is not one of them. “We need to look at the best solution because it has to be dealt with.” Cr Cox said part of the solution could be cleansing the water for re-use in farming. A further round of community consultation was held yesterday.

AN interim solution to Greater Bendigo’s rising groundwater problem is just days away. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the solution was to be finalised by the end of June. Ms Edwards met with both chairs of the government and engineering taskforce last Tuesday to discuss the progress on rising groundwater. “I am confident that the community, working with local government and the state government will come to a solution will benefit Bendigo well into the future,” she said.

Disease has last word By CHRISTINE McGINN

A DISTRESSING genetic condition has left Woodvale resident Carla Daly fearful she will lose her mobility. Lipoedema is a hereditary disorder which causes a pattern of fat accumulation from the hips to the ankles and sometimes the arms, in women. Ms Daly posed for the “A wish for lipoedema” campaign designed to shed light on the condition. The national launch of lipoedema month was held in Bendigo in early June to raise awareness of the condition.

I have decreased Penny – horticulturalist, mobility due receptionist, hearing aid user to the weight ... of my legs Despite her best efforts to lead a healthy life, Ms Daly said diet and exercise do not decrease the lipoedema fat. “Physically, I have decreased mobility due to the weight and size of my legs, but also because they get more painful when I do much walking. They swell throughout the day despite compression stockings,” she said. The Lipoedema Australia Support Society Inc member said the condition requires daily maintenance and man-

your body that lipoedema has the last word.” Ms Daly, diagnosed at age 55, said in some cases the condition does not progress past stage one which is hard to diagnose and has minimal impact, while some people experience stage three and four when the lipoedema fat crushes the lymphatic system. “The greatest misconception is to mistake lipoedema

for obesity. I think every lady in the LASS facebook site (over 370) has been told by her GP that she is obese. We have been put on endless diets, many have endured many different bariatric surgeries, been sent to gyms... all because lipoedema is mistaken for obesity. Awareness of the disease is critical so that we can commence the proper care sooner rather than later.”

WORTH A LOOK: The new video highlights the city. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Video link to Bendigo A NEW marketing campaign is showing Bendigo in a new light with a video launched on social media this week. The two-and-a-half-minute video was uploaded to the Explore Bendigo facebook page on Sunday with more than 5500 views already. About 200 people have so far liked the “Beautiful Bendigo” video and have shared the post more than 260 times. The video showcases the city as a vibrant arts and culture epicentre in regional Victoria. The new Ulumbarra Theatre, Art Gallery, Chancery Lane, Bendigo Town Hall, Capital Theatre, La Trobe Visual Arts Centre, Dai Gum San precinct, the law courts, Sacred Heart Cathedral and Rosalind Park are among the city’s highlights. The iconic poppet head, Central Deborah Mine, Bendigo Pottery, the Chinese Museum, the Great Stupa, the Bendigo Bank, restaurants and breweries are also

featured in the video. City of Greater Bendigo tourism manager Kathryn Mackenzie said the video showcased the city’s celebration of its heritage and modernisation. “We thought it was really important to develop a new video and showcase Bendigo as an arts and cultural destination to both domestic and international markets,” Ms Mackenzie said. “Bendigo has new experiences and these are our big experiences which help pull people to our smaller experiences.” Ms Mackenzie said Bendigo was attracting tourists from Asian, European and New Zealand markets. The video took a couple of months to develop before it was ready to take to the Australian Tourism Exchange in Melbourne this week. To watch the video, visit www. facebook.com/ExploreBendigo

LOOKING behind the scenes at local radio station Phoenix FM is the subject of a new film to be screened tomorrow at the Star Cinema as part of a fundraiser for the local community broadcaster. Phil Beer came up with the idea to produce a 45 minute film Reaching Out to give people a unique snapshot of the activities on-air and off at the Kenningtonbased radio station. “It was filmed over 12 months to show how Phoenix FM is run by volunteers for the benefit of the community,” he said. “I wanted to film the tireless dedication of the volunteers producing and presenting a diverse range of radio programs every week for our listeners who come from all walks of life. “Reaching Out shows the many ways that Phoenix FM connects with our community – it’s a great snapshot of the culture at Phoenix FM.” Mr Beer is a movie buff who has made countless amateur films. He also presents a twice weekly program on Phoenix FM dedicated to music from the movies. The film, which premieres at a Phoenix FM fundraiser at the Star Cinema tomorrow afternoon, has been produced with a grant from

Schaller adds boom

THE Schaller Studio is celebrating its first birthday and tourism appeal within the Greater Bendigo community. Designed as the Art Series Hotel Group’s first property outside of Melbourne, the Schaller features the largest collection of works by Australian namesake Mark Schaller. More than 33,000 people have stayed in the hotel since it opened, with Bendigo Tourism estimating it has provided a $6.6 million injection into the local economy. Hotel manager Amy Moylan said it helped drive tourism to the region and had invested in the local community. “Bendigo was the ideal location for the first of the group’s studio properties and since opening it has had a mutually beneficial relationship with the community,” she said.

“The locals have been so accepting and have really embraced our unique concept. I have enjoyed working with the local people and businesses in ensuring that our tourism offering is something premium, setting it apart from other regional towns. “I am looking forward to continuing to work as a community to grow this unique offering even further.” Rocks on Rosalind director Finn Vedelsby said the hotel was a “bright shining light in the Bendigo accommodation industry”. “The team brings true professionalism and some city smarts to Bendigo in everything that they do,” he said. “The hotel has become a real asset to our beautiful town and is continually helping to improve and grow the booming tourism industry.”

The project is being undertaken by the City of Greater Bendigo and will limit access to the front of the hall for around three weeks. The $85,000 project has been partially funded by the Victoria’s Heritage Restoration Fund.

More gifts for Maubisse BENDIGO Senior Secondary College this week presented Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox with sports equipment and stationery to be sent to Maubisse High School in East Timor. The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning students raised $650 to buy the goods at a recent sausage sizzle. Cr Cox, who is also chair of the Bendigo Maubisse Friendship Committee, thanked the students for their efforts. “It is great to see young people in Bendigo making the time to raise funds for the benefit of others,” he said. ON THE WAY: Monique Eastwood, Peter Cox, Darcy McGauley and Heather Ridge with a selection of the donations.

FIREWOOD SEASON CLOSING THE autumn 2015 firewood collection season will close across Victoria on Tuesday, June 30. Grampians region fire and land manager Jon Rofe said from July 1, all designated firewood collection areas will be closed over the winter period. It won’t be legal for people to collect firewood on public land until the start of the spring firewood collection season. ‘’Anyone wanting to collect firewood before the end of the autumn firewood season should be aware that some designated firewood collection areas may already be closed because the supply in that area has been exhausted,” Mr Rofe said. The public will be able to start collecting firewood again from designated firewood collection areas from September 1.

Bike fleet aims to ease the road ahead By ROBERT KRETSCHMER

THE benefits of cycling are well known, from economic and environmental to health and productivity. Central Bendigo is well suited for taking advantage of this with suitable terrain and most of the year weather ideal for making short trips by bike. In fact, cycling – in many cases is more efficient and timely relative to driving and parking. For these reasons (and many others) the City of Greater Bendigo council is embarking on a journey to become a bicycle friendly organisation. One way inroads are being made has been to trial a corporate bike fleet – for activities including meetings, inspections and events. The trial, with seed funding from Healthy Together Bendigo, was implemented by the EnviroReps (staff sustainability committee) over the 2013/14 calendar year. The four-bike trial has been a great success with 1000 kilometres travelled across

bendigo

GRAND PLAN: The idea is to encourage bike use. Photo: CHRIS ROWLANDS 250 trips made by 64 different staff. In addition to this, the 860-plus hours of bookings were equivalent to reducing demand on the car fleet by half a vehicle. Average trips were short (two to four kilometres) in distance, one to two hours in length with 10 to 20 minutes riding time. Staff have embraced the fleet, saving time and resourc-

es while looking after their health and that of the organisation. One staff member made use of the bikes more than 30 times during the trial, finding it convenient for meetings with multiple customers across the city centre. Another said: “When I have a meeting in 10 minutes that is too far to walk, and taking and parking a car just won’t work, the bike is close,

convenient and you’re on your way in no time.” As a result the council is regularly consulted by community, local governments and businesses as far away as Melbourne wanting their own fleets. The bike fleet has increased the visibility of cycling within the city, delivered on objectives of the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy and led to increased numbers of staff riding to work, contributing to health, reducing congestion, emissions and pressure on car parking in the city centre. The council has since made the bike fleet a permanent option and is investigating improving the variety, capability and appeal of bikes in the fleet. The next step as a bicycle friendly organisation has been to set the ambitious goal of 100 staff regularly riding to work by 2020.

PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA

HAVE YOUR SAY – SUBMISSIONS INVITED The Parliament of Victoria’s Law Reform, Road and Community Safety Committee is conducting an inquiry into fuel drive offs with particular reference to: a) a review of fuel drive offs in Victoria and other Australian and overseas jurisdictions to understand the extent, nature and costs of the problem; b) best practice approaches to prevent fuel drive offs in Australia and overseas, including educational and technological measures; c) examinations of ‘loss prevention’ measures in other industry sectors in Victoria, and other jurisdictions, that may be relevant to fuel drive offs; d) current civil and criminal remedies available to address fuel drive offs and theft, and the efficacy of those remedies; e) possible linkages between fuel drive offs and crime, such as number plate and vehicle theft; f) analysis of different types of interventions for adoption by industry, with Victorian government agencies, to support the use of civil remedies to address fuel drive offs; and g) examinations of the feasibility of introducing co-regulatory approaches to enforcement, and the implications of such approaches for privacy. The Committee encourages public involvement in its inquiries and invites written submissions from interested persons and organisations addressing the terms of reference. All submissions are public documents unless confidentiality is requested and granted.

Snuff out the spirit What I have just witnessed is shameful, council voted to bulldoze the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre for a car park. What is the world coming to? Destroying a testament to community spirit and entrepreneurs. The goings on with the Kangaroo Flat “Taj Mahal” presents us with an opportunity to examine some moral values in our city. For more than a century this country was built on the premise of community supporting others in the community. The better-off looking after the less well-off. In Kangaroo Flat, which was part of the Marong Shire, before council amalgamations, this has been exemplified by many families. Names like Crapper and McKinnon are but two. Quietly, these families got on with being resourceful and providing the community with the needs the community required. Things like a trotting track, motor park and water storage facility at Marong, the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre and the soccer club ground (now the junior cricket oval adjacent to the leisure centre). The community raised about $50,000 towards the construction of the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre. Grants and council provided the balance of about $350,000. The families and community did not do this for their own self-interest or narcissistic reasons. There was a need to be met and fulfilled showed true community spirit. Move forward 31 years to 2015, gone is consideration for others, respect for our forebearers and community spirited families. This new world is driven by several narcissistic, self-centred, egotistical, and selfish councillors, directors, council officers and members of the Kangaroo Flat Enterprise Group to have a “monument” for their own self-gratification. The more monstrous and expensive, the better. Nothing will stand in their way. Don’t consult with members of the leisure centre committee, or the community, and don’t worry about the costs to ratepayers. Just bulldoze and destroy a perfectly good 31-year-old building worth more than $3m (it is not just some dilapidated hall) for no valid reason other than it might be in the way of some grandiose plan and a car park. Council’s extravagant aquatic strategy plan also blatantly promotes destroying the viability of all the other pools in Bendigo with the

idea that and everyone will have to attend the “Taj Mahal”. Just look at the aquatic strategy. Mark my words, council officers haven’t given up on destroying the Golden Square pool and the grand plan is to crush and snuff out community spirit and strangulation of all pools by denying funds for capital works to maintain them. And the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre? Gone in a twinkling of an eye. Councillors blinded by $15m. The ratepayers bankrupted. Community spirit killed. Welcome to the new world of Stan Liacos and councillors Weragoda, Williams, Fyffe, Ruffell and Lyons. Colin Burns, Strathfieldsaye

Names in the ring It is no surprise two “new” people have indicated they will nominate for council at the 2016 election. I believe they are but the tip of an iceberg that will emerge with “first time” nominees in all three multi-councillor wards. The recent council satisfaction survey has further confirmed the continuing rumblings of dissatisfaction by many residents and ratepayers with the performance of Bendigo council. While some people are satisfied with senior council staff, and most elected councillors, many others are not. No matter what spin mayor Peter Cox or CEO Craig Niemann attempt to put on the survey results, the evidence is clear. Sadly, so many people simply don’t care, or believe they are powerless to achieve any change with Bendigo council. With the deeply ingrained culture of, “senior officers know best”, that exists within our city offices, the only way change can be achieved is by having a majority of councillors elected who will not take the line of least resistance, by agreeing with council officers’ wishes and decisions, on most matters. I do not envy councillors for the difficult job they have at times. However, those who may offer themselves for re-election and new nominees should keep foremost in their mind, it is the residents and ratepayers who they represent should they be elected – not the senior council officers. Voters should carefully consider their vote. Colin Carrington, Argyle (Heathcote)

Out of touch

Track for all

Picked up the Bendigo Weekly while visiting my son and partner’s home, flicked through and liked what I was reading, especially letters to the editor. It was refreshing to see the thoughts, opinions, observations of the general public being published, letters from people such as Bill Collier, Shirley Mainstone, Trevor Cartwright and others. Far too much coverage has been afforded to the Ulumbarra Theatre, Kangaroo Flat proposed white elephant pool complex, which will annually run at a loss to the tune of $400,000 to $500,000, how can the Bendigo council justify building it if it can’t financially support itself? Maintaining local pools makes more sense. Now this Ulumbarra Theatre – it’s not council’s business to provide $400,000 of ratepayers’ money to enable this play “Ned” to be performed. Once again council is out of touch on what residents expect them to provide, such as roads, rubbish removal, footpaths, drains, lower rates and good fiscal management and not to cater to the whims and fancies of elitists within the Bendigo community. Thank you for a refreshing well balanced read. William H Bayliss, Chewton

Replying to Bill Collier’s letter, “Shared Track” Bendigo Weekly, June 19, many people (including myself and family) do travel regularly on V/Line to Watergardens and back to Bendigo. It would be very inconvenient and not easy, to not be able to alight at that station. We would have to change at Sunbury, definitely not ideal with the huge overpass to climb to get to other side and then have to wait for another train – not good in winter or time wise. Or else have to travel to Southern Cross then return on another train to Watergardens which would be ridiculous. So please Bill, think about we commuters, some elderly and disabled, before making your comments. Christine Vren, Golden Square

Creek wall crumbles If our ward councillors are fairdinkum about infrastructure growth in Bendigo, then why have they allowed the protection and maintenance of the creek walls between Wade and Booth streets to crumble and erode? The city was successful in gaining funding from the Department of Sustainability and Environment for the reconstruction of the creek walls. After a comprehensive investiga-

tion of the condition of the walls was identified, the work was undertaken after an estimate of costs in 2013. The result being that the section between Maple Street and the Wade Street bridge at Golden Square was completed, but the section from there to Booth Street was forgotten or put aside, perhaps due to lack of finance, causing erosion and the replacement of the security fence in the section at the rear of the business centre in Golden Square. Council had made a statement in 2013 that “the timber wall will be replaced with a concrete retaining structure which will provide for the long-term protection of adjoining properties from erosion and subsidence.” What action have our ward councillors taken to complete this work and protect the walls and properties from further subsidence as planned in 2013? Bill Collier, Golden Square

Defining the problem In the Bendigo Weekly, June 19, Mr Niemann CEO of the City of Greater Bendigo has said, regarding the very poor performance rating of the council: “I think we provide the same level of service”. May I suggest to you Mr Niemann that is exactly the problem. Peter Lesuey, Bendigo

editorial

Double backflip COUNCILLORS are to be congratulated for finally agreeing on a state of the art 50-metre indoor pool as part of the landmark Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellness Centre approved for Kangaroo Flat. We’ve stated before, that it is our belief there’s no such thing as a 25m state-of-the-art pool and the smaller option that was also under consideration did not support the vision or growth envisaged for our centre in the years ahead. So having reached a decision, councillors have now also said they would look afield, again, for more government support. It is understood that the National Stronger Regions Fund only allows for one application per municipality. Applications for the next round of this highly competitive grants program are now open, but is Bendigo sending mixed messages to government, and the community, if it opts to seek more taxpayer support over and above the $15m already committed by

the state government? In 2012 council only ever wanted $6m in total from other levels of government. It has now got $15m. We should fund this new complex with what we have, and what we have been given or promised by groups such as the Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise. Other community groups and service providers who struggle for funding and who are currently sitting idly on the sidelines would be aghast to think the proposed pool was going to swallow even more public funds, especially as there would already be a queue of projects wanting/needing government support. Cr Lisa Ruffell brought Wednesday night’s debate back to where it should have always been. This was about the pinnacle of three years’ planning that also involved closing other pools. The decision in 2012 to back a 50m pool was not made lightly. The successive backflips that saw the pool go from 25m to 50m,

then back to 25m before finally this week settling on 50m once more has been like watching a diver fall from the tower, slowly and clumsily, before finally correcting their fall just before splashing into the water. Council officers and staff could be excused for scratching their heads at times throughout the past 40 or so months as the vote swung back and forth. Now that a final outcome has been reached the important thing is to get on with the project. Mayor Peter Cox has stated that this project was never about delivering a pool for competition swimmers, but surely the fact this pool could be just that is a significant bonus. Others will argue the additional cost and operating budget are major negatives of the 50m proposal, but if council staff are forearmed with the facts, and in this case the numbers, then they at least know what is needed to make the new centre work.

pk Freedom to have a view with Peter Kennedy

THERE is a plethora of issues and topics running through mainstream Bendigo at the moment with just as much potential to divide our community as there is potential to unite it. In itself, this is democracy in action, with debates about same sex marriage, Bendigo’s planned mosque, the Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellness Centre, the size of our rates rise, should we cap rates, asylum seekers, other government policy and even who should we vote for, all creating a stir as a part of everyday life in a country where freedom of speech is a gift, but one that should never be taken lightly. About two years ago I wrote a column in this paper declaring I had switched from my traditional conservative views of marriage as a union between a man and a woman to one where gender was irrelevant, and where love conquers all. At the time I received a predictable amount of criticism from people exercising their rights to express their views, but I have never stepped away from respecting the rights of

others to have their say. The institution of marriage has nothing to fear from change. Times change. People change. Denying change gives rise to the risk of making something irrelevant or out of date. Society adapts to change, especially considered change, and

ity, is that respect for the alternative view. My view is just that – mine. This paper goes to considerable lengths to publish the views of others and opinions we might not necessarily agree with. We take a risk in doing so, knowing that some readers will not like what we choose to

Freedom of speech is a gift, but one that should never be taken lightly informed change. It has to. Those men and women who are happily married and devoted to the person they love above all others should feel free to continue to enjoy their marriage. Allowing those who happen to love someone of their own gender should have no impact on the rest of us, but it will make a lot of others equally happy that they too can share the experience of marriage and be acknowledged as married couples. What is often lacking in emotionally charged debates such as that of marriage equal-

publish, others will vehemently disagree with it. Others may well agree. What’s important is that we promote debate of issues and topics we believe to be relevant to the community we serve. Critique an idea, a proposal or a piece of art, but please, don’t take this as an opportunity to critique the person. It is when we personalise the debate that it all too often gets messy, tempers fray and things are said and done that will only be regretted later on. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigopublishing.com

No need for alarm

arts focus C

It seems electronic devices rule the world

LOVE technology, but some of the newer gadgets are taking it a bit far. It’s a recent thing, but gone are the days of a gentle ping on the kitchen timer. My microwave oven tells me when it’s finished cooking with a beep. Annoyingly, it reminds me every minute until I remove the food. Sometimes a man just needs to leave his reheats in the oven for a while. Of course, I give in and the techno nag has won. My super-efficient Bosch washing machine shouts out too, and there really is no excuse for the fuss it makes if I don’t empty it out. Surely I can remember to remove my washing? So what if I don’t, why can’t it just sit there quietly until I am ready? Then there’s the stablemate clothes dryer. Not only does it tell me when it thinks the clothes are dry, sometimes it stops when the clothes are wet. Each break is punctuated with the bleeps of demand I have come to expect. By far the worst culprit

of this unwanted (electronic) noise is my new car. If either seatbelt is left off, the car bleeps. It may seem like good sense, but sometimes you may be happier without the seatbelt. When I stop at my gate to unlock it, the countdown has started. I hop in and head up the drive and the noise starts. It seems silly to put the seatbelt on, but the German designers have made it clear this is not acceptable. The bloody thing shouts at me for a while, and then as I get closer to the car port it goes apoplectic with a highpitched whine.

I guess it’s all a bit nanny state really, where the robots are telling us all to behave. Shades of Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and look how that turned out. Perhaps the nagging technology is all about future state control where we will be jumping to commands issued by various high tech devices. I recently travelled on the London Underground, and on the escalators I was bombarded by noise and vision from hundreds of screens. Poster ads have been replaced by noisy and bright images flashed when you

have nowhere else to look. On top of this there were train announcements adding to the general row. Do this, do that, travel this way, don’t stand close to the platform edge, buy this it’s better than that. I was worn out just standing on the moving staircase. Maybe I am overthinking this. It could be a simple answer, maybe a woman has designed all of the alarms. After all, nag would be the default setting. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

RAFTALIVE is coming back to Bendigo at the Price of Wales Showgrounds today, Saturday and Sunday. The weekend will be dedicated to all crafts – patchwork, stamping, scrapbooking, quilting, jewellery, homewares, and more. The exhibitors will be bringing everything from supplies, to kits, to finished goods. The focus of the weekend is to inspire and teach – with hands-on activities, demonstrations and workshops presented by world class artists as well as some home grown talent. One of the exhibitors who has been around the world with her talent is sewer, teacher and designer, Rosalie Quinlan. She has been producing crafty sewing patterns for more than 10 years and travelling the world teaching her designs. Each day at 1pm, you can learn from the one of the most fun teachers around in Stitching with Rosalie. These classes are completely hands on and students will walk away with gorgeous finished works along with the knowledge to continuing creating. The show is brimming with more workshops to cater to all crafts. If you are a needle craft person make sure to see Katie’s Patchwork Packs’ Dis-

appearing Pinwheels at 1pm in Workshop Area 3, and how to create beautiful fabrics by Genesis Creations at noon and 3pm and Sew Bright’s Eco Shopper Bag at 1pm in Workshop Area 2. If paper craft is more your style, Stampin’ Up!, Close to My Heart and Kaszazz are running great workshops and demonstrations all weekend. If you are so inspired by what you see at the show, make sure to hear from Carlene from the Handcrafted Shop at noon about how to capitalise on your craft talents to monetise your hobby and sit in with Wayne and Judi at 11am as they explain the dramatic history of the sewing machine – including the very interesting history of Bendigo machines. In addition to the amazing workshop line up, there will be $2500 worth of prizes given away including a Bernina 215 Sewing Machine, subscriptions to Homespun, Quilters Companion and Good Organic Gardening magazines and a $1000 gift pack from Canson Australia.

Rick Price, the show’s main performer, was born and grew up in Beaudesert in Queensland. From the age of nine Rick’s childhood was one of playing and travelling with his family at barn dances and anywhere else there was a gig. From those early selftaught days, Rick worked tirelessly honing his musical craft and his entertainment skills, and the resulting wonderful charismatic performer with an exceptional musical talent, is who you will come to the

Mike Rudd is truly an icon of the Australian music industry, surviving and thriving for some five decades and it is worth seeing this show simply to pay respect to the man. Mike is also an amazingly gifted musician and songwriter. In the 1960s and 70s when Australian music was breaking down walls and getting the world to pay attention, it was Mike’s band Spectrum and Ross Wilson’s Daddy Cool who were the two bands leading the way. To round out this trio we have the much loved Greg Champion. Known for his love of football and sport, but equally for the myriad of

Rick Price has always been respected as one of the country’s finest singers, but his voice is just the pinnacle of the package. Rick an exceptional multi-instrumentalist also excels on guitar, piano, harmonica, ukulele and drums. This once only appearance in Bendigo is not to be missed. This show offers something special in that it is not just one songwriter or incredible entertainer you will see, but three.

Greg will host the evening, but will certainly perform a few songs, try keeping him away from the guitar and the microphone.

Star FM’s presenter from 10am to 3pm weekdays is a lively enthusiastic woman who works to the mantra of “fake it until you make it”. This ensures, even on a rare down day Felicity Eva makes you believe she is on top of the world. Even her on air name of Flick suggests a snappy, no-nonsense, fun-time girl. Following a traditional path of community radio at RMIT, and uni, Flick made it her goal to be in Bendigo and is pretty much living her dream in top-40 radio. From a small studio at Star FM in Lily Street, Flick brings to life an array of screens and equipment and pumps out a show that’s all her own. “I love this format, top-40 is where I want to be, the pace of it, the countdown, that where the excitement is for me,” Flick said. “I have worked at ABC and 3BO, and while it has its appeal, what I love doing and what I find my interests in is perfectly in line with what Star FM Bendigo does. “I remember listening to the top 40 countdowns when I was in school, then it moved online and I’ve been able to see that transition through

my own career, now it’s not just on the radio but through instagram and twitter, it’s all about getting pop culture across.” Expanding on the “fake it until you make it” theme, Flick said it was good advice. “Even on a downer day, pretending you are a ball of energy becomes contagious, and you take it on board,” she said. In a relatively rare solo show in a world of dual presenters, how the program runs is all down to Flick. “It’s me on my own, maintaining that energy, and fuelling that energy as well which can be daunting in the beginning... you see that long tunnel ahead, but you pick it and keep it going,” she said. At home it’s another matter, and there’s a quiet side to the Star FM star, but atmosphere plays a major part of the mood, and just like everybody, Flick adjusts to the environment. “If there’s a buzz in the air, or a great song on the radio that’s all the inspiration I need,” she said. Flick studied theatre, which comes to the fore in both her radio and public persona. Her Bachelor of Performing Arts degree from Monash pointing to her future in media, with pop culture taking a leading role. Bendigo benefits from the local

output from Star FM, with its sights firmly set on the 18 to 25 demographic, and pushing the youth initiative. Flick’s happy in her role, and sees

herself in the job in 12 months, but admits she doesn’t really have a plan. “I want to be in Bendigo, I have a real passion for this town. I moved to Bendigo on purpose, it was not

unintentional. It was 100 per cent my goal,” she said. “Where that takes me is anyone’s guess.” – Steve Kendall

Stage is set for Connors’ 25th year

LAZY EYE

ULTI-award winner Graeme Connors is coming to town on Friday, July 24. Connors is celebrating the 25th anniversary since the release of his debut album North. “It is my landmark CD. Actually it was probably a vinyl record at that time,” he said. “Not often one gets to have a 25-year life span in this business. “We took the album back into the studio and remixed, remodeled and repackaged it for the upcoming tour.” The show will begin with the entire North album and conclude with a performance of all the number one hits from 17 CDs. “Most of my listeners were children when the album was first released,” Connors said. “I often get people coming up

GRAEME CONNORS to me telling me their mum was a big fan and they have come to celebrate her. “People seem to like to come for the nostalgia. To hear songs they heard in their childhood.” Performing at The Capital, the musician is looking forward to coming to Bendigo. “Bendigo is always very good to come to. I always look forward

to coming down south for the winter,” he said. “I guess it shows that you can have a lasting career without being a household name. “It shows there are enough wonderful people out there supporting me.” Tickets are available from www.gotix.com.au for the show. – Bridgette Barry-Murphy

Camping out F

OLLOWING the discovery of gold in late 1851, soon after the first rush took place an appeal was sent out to the government administration overseeing the Forest Creek, or Castlemaine, diggings for some form of government protection in Bendigo. The first established administrative centre was some distance up Golden Gully, however the numbers of hopeful diggers increased rapidly and they fanned out down the valley of the Bendigo Creek. Diggers were quickly occupying the myriads of other gullies and hills. With an ever increasing number of those keen to seek and find gold, the decision was made to relocate the government camp to a high spot overlooking the Bendigo valley, an area which is still referred to as Camp Hill. This elevated position afforded wide views and could be easily defended. The government camp encompassed an

area from what became View Street, Barnard Street, down to Water Street returning via Bridge Lane and what is now Rosalind Park. The northern area of this substantial slab of land had what was later called Commissioner’s Gully flowing through towards the Bendigo Creek near Bayne Street. Tents of the government officials were pitched on the higher ground to the south of Commissioner’s Gully. A portion of the Government Camp ground was set apart for the police horses, the lower ground near the present day fernery, became a water reserve of sorts, the creek then wending and flowing through that spot. Water holes were dug to enable them to soak and fill with clean water for domestic purposes as quickly the creek itself had become extremely muddied from the washing of the dirt bearing the alluvial gold. The diggers who

had transgressed the laws relating to society as a whole, and the regulations pertaining to their digging activity, were arrested. Awaiting for their particular cases to be heard in the tent court house, these assumed transgressors of the law, were chained to a large log. The log, which could be referred to as a temporary remand centre, was situated not far from the present day Gaol Road. Something more befitting than being totally exposed to the elements, a slab and canvas structure was constructed to hold any presumed miscreants. A small log cabinstyle gaol was a little later constructed for those diggers and others who had received a sentence to be sent to the lockup. The less than salubrious accommodation provided as the remand centre’s canvas roof began to deteriorate evoked criticism from various quarters. On rainy days those

held in the lockup were treated to a “shower bath” because of the deterioration of the canvas roof. Drunks who had been arrested invariably on cold winter nights had their blanket taken by those who were more sober. Exposure was not an unknown condition for some of the lock up inhabitants. By November 1858, there was a new lockup on Camp Hill, this one had been constructed of metal. In the winter it was absolutely freezing cold inside this new structure and as can be imagined in the sum-

mer it was incredibly hot in its metal confines. The new lockup became known as the camp oven. The name was a real play on words, as it was of course within the government camp, and camp ovens were also used for cooking over the coals of a fire. Soon the Police Court began using the Corn Exchange building in Market Square. The Corn Exchange is today known as the town hall. The area around the town hall was the cattle and also a hay and produce market, located on the eastern side.

S a young medical officer in the second world war Dr Rowley Richards was imprisoned after the fall of Singapore. “Had I known what was in store for me on the day I set sail out of Sydney Harbour back in 1941, I never would have had the guts to face up to it,” he says. But face up to it he did. Richards tells his story in a coherent and compelling fashion. His idiom is beautifully understated Australian – after a forced march in torrential rain he is “buggered”. But as well as the idiom his story is replete with quintessential Australian traits; traits which make you want to weep for the bravery of the POWs, their humanity and suffering, during those terrible years. Rowley took several beatings while trying to protect his patients during the building of the BurmaSiam Railway. He was wasted and ill when transferred as work fodder for Japanese industries. Crossing the South China Sea, his ship, the Rakuyo

Maru was torpedoed. Having survived a shipwreck, he and his men soon realised that the Nippon Tsun employees were worse than the Japanese guards. One of the striking insights, for me, of this World War II story is that the Australian soldiers felt that they had let the side down. When their ship entered crowded Tokyo Bay, after their release by the Allies, the men were rousingly saluted by the other vessels. “We could not understand what the fuss was about – after all, we were only former prisoners of war who had done nothing to help win the war. “ This important book, based on Richard’s diaries, recognises the men who did “nothing”. Nothing, that is, except maintain their integrity and preserve our freedom.

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

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

4 d Canberra Floriade: Sept 21..........................................$980 P/P $960

Located within a major shopping centre you will find this busy, profitable and proven Tatts mixed business. It is the only Tatts business inside the shopping centre meaning you have the exclusivity of the high volume foot traffic. This business has been operating in its current location for over 20 years and has been under the same management for the past 6 years. The current owners are selling this business as they are relocating to another state in the coming months. With the yearly turnover in excess of $2M this business is worth more than just a look. The current owner works in the business only three days per week which means that the potential to earn for a full time owner operator or even two owner operators would be far greater and the wages savings would be huge! This business is a mixed Tatts Sub News business and stocks the following items plus much more; • Three Terminal Tatts • Magazines • Cards • Gifts • Confectionery • Phone Cards • Dry Cleaning • Gift Cards • Stamps

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Taxation changes can prove costly W

ITH more than 18 years of experience in accounting Karen Wellington of Wellington Tax, offers a fast and efficient solution to all of your accounting needs for both business and personal needs. So if you are seeking a professional and simple approach to your tax and accounting needs, look no further than Wellington Tax. Karen says the winners this year are small business entities with the recently announced instant asset write-offs, for assets costing less than $20,000 exclusive of GST. “This can also be claimed if your depreciation pool is less than $20,000 at the end of the year,” Karen said. “The date for this purchase must be after 7.30pm on the May 12 this year until the end of June 2017.” Karen also warns all employers they also have to be ready for Super Stream. “It does take time to set up but once set up it only takes a few minutes each time.” There are also changes regarding motor vehicle expenses with a reduced kilometre rate of 66 cents for motor cars up to a maximum for 5000 kilometres Karen said.

“Clients can use this rate or the log book method where you need to keep all receipts associated with your vehicle and claim the percentage that is work related. ”There was going to be a change in the tax free threshold but this will not go ahead. The medicare levy has also risen to two per cent.” Further changes for 2015 include the administration of MyGov, where from now on your tax agent will not be receiving your assessment notice in the mail. The Australian Taxation Office will instead be sending it directly to you electronically. “If you decide to lodge your tax return through MyGov you may be missing out on deductions that you are entitled to,” Karen said while explaining that as a tax agent, she keeps up-to-date with the latest developments. “And If you claim family assistance you must lodge your returns for the previous financial year by the end of June, otherwise Centrelink will not pay the full family assistance entitlement.” Wellington Tax, 28 Waterford Drive Strathfieldsaye.

ADOPT-A-PET Spayed Female, 9 months

I am an energetic young girl who loves to play and make friends. I need to go to a house with someone who is around a lot as I can become quite vocal when left alone. If you have dogs in your home I would love to meet them! I have a very shiny black coat that will need brushing every so often.

Spayed Female, 1 1/2 years

I’m a beautiful quiet young lady. I am social with other cats but l don’t like to play with them and don’t like it when they bother me. I am a very timid girl who will need to go to a quiet home. I would make a wonderful companion for someone. Come in and meet me. I’ll be the champagne girl all snuggled up in a bed.

Griffin may miss start By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Spirit is facing uncertainty over the status of star forward Kelsey Griffin as the club gears up its preparations for the 2015/16 season. Coach Simon Pritchard was in Bendigo meeting sponsors this week, along with general manager Adam Tarr, but is also trying to ascertain whether Griffin will be available for the start of the season. The two-time WNBL grand final MVP injured her hip before the start of the WNBA season in the United States, and had arthroscopic surgery at the end of last month. That procedure resulted in micro-fracture surgery, with a statement from the Connecticut Sun in early June announcing that Griffin faced “at least” a three-month recovery period. Pritchard said despite the surgery occurring at the start of the month, the timeline on Griffin’s recovery remained unclear. “Things are very tight financially, so we have been a bit limited in terms of player signings, and the really big xfactor is Kelsey being injured and us really not knowing

her prognosis,” he said. “We are just in a bit of a holding pattern. We had an American that we were ready to sign and we really can’t afford to sign her if we don’t know that Kelsey is going to be good to go. “She is back at the surgeon on Wednesday US time, so then we will get some scans and we’ll then get our physio to have a look at those and get a better idea of where she is at.” Pritchard does not expect Griffin’s possible absence will impact the team’s start to the season. “We will be back on September 1 no matter what, and will be in smaller groups before coming together as a team,” he said. “We have to be careful how we mange Kelsey, we don’t want to flog her before the start of the season and then not have her after Christmas because she is injured.” It was not the only blow the team suffered this week, with Perth Lynx, as widely expected, unveiling that it has secured the signature of Tessa Lavey for the upcoming season. Lavey spent two seasons in Bendigo but saw limited

PAIN: Kelsey Griffin is in doubt with injury. court time behind Kelly Wilson and Kristi Harrower, and will undoubtedly play a bigger role for a young Perth side. Pritchard said losing the tenacious Australian Opals guard was a big loss. “It is a massive blow because she is such a great talent,” he said. “You don’t win all the battles, unfortunately. She will be right at the top of our recruiting list when her con-

tract is up there.” The Spirit also announced this week it would introduce an inaugural youth squad, with players encouraged to participate. One player from the squad will make the final Spirit team for the 2015/16 Women’s National Basketball League season. Tryouts for the squad will be held on August 8 at the Bendigo Stadium from 11am to 1pm.

GOLDEN Square and South Bendigo will join forces in a Bendigo Football Netball League first this weekend, when the clubs meet at My Jet Oval in a clash to raise funds and awareness for the Blue Ribbon Foundation. The match has been set up between the Bendigo branch of the foundation and the BFNL in part, to commemorate the memory of Acting Sergeant Graham Elliott, a former Golden Square player. Elliott was killed while cycling to work in 2006. Players will wear blue and white arm bands, goal umpires will wave blue and white chequered flags and best afield medals will be awarded in each football and netball game on the day. Bendigo senior sergeant and Blue Ribbon Foundation committee member Craig Gaffee said the day would be a significant one for the foundation. “The committee was looking at ways to not only commemorate Graham but also use it as a way to raise awareness and get the foundation out there via football,” he said. “Graham played all his football at junior football at Golden Square including under-18 and reserves premier-

ships, and both clubs have been really supportive of the concept which is great.” Hawthorn and St Kilda play for the blue ribbon cup each year in the AFL, and a notable local example is held each year between Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League rivals Harcourt and Campbells Creek. On the field, the senior football match offers plenty, with South Bendigo having pushed Golden Square in round two. A 42-point win to Square that day did not reflect how close the contest was, and the sides have played plenty of close games in recent history at Wade Street. Golden Square are likely to regain injured guns Jack Geary and Hamish Morcom as well as Josh Filo, the latter pair expected to resume in the reserves. South has plenty of injury worries, adding Joel Swatton and Ben Edwards to an injury list including Ben Allen and Daniel Frew. In other games in round 11, James O’Brien will be honoured by Castlemaine for his 200th game when the Pies take on Kangaroo Flat, Maryborough hosts Gisborne, Sandhurst tackles Kyneton and Eaglehawk plays Strathfieldsaye at Canterbury Park in the game of the round.

WEEKLY SPORT Miners blunt the Unicorns THE Bendigo Fighting Miners underlined their premiership credentials at the weekend, hitting the road to easily account for the Melbourne Unicorns. The 35-24 win came after a slow start to the match, with the sides not being able to be separated at 10 points apiece after half an hour. The Miners rose to the challenge thereafter, scoring tries each side of half-time to go out to a 20-10 lead. However, Melbourne rallied to reduce the margin to one point 15 minutes into the second half. Poor kicking from the visitors allowed Melbourne to stay in touch, but the Miners found another gear late in the piece to run out winners by 11 points. Bendigo’s set piece was solid while they were on top at the breakdown. Once again the big Miners forwards’ running in the narrow channels put their opponents under pressure. Miners coach Allan Saville was pleased with the team’s performance. Bendigo is away from home again next week, taking on Ballarat.

Tour de force

By JOEL PETERSON

FOR the second year in a row central Victoria will have a local to cheer on in the world’s biggest annual sporting event, when Zak Dempster again lines up in the Tour de France. Dempster completed the ZLM Tour in the Netherlands last week and finished 12th overall, a good enough result to earn selection in his Bora-Argon 18 squad’s line up for the tour. He made his Tour de France debut last year with the squad known then as NetApp-Endura, and returns this year for the opening prologue in Utrecht on July 4. Dempster told the Weekly last week he was confident of making the squad, a contention

proved correct when the team was announced on Tuesday. “Zak will be particularly important for Sam Bennett in the hectic sprint finishes,” Bora-Argon team manager Ralph Denk said. “He can take advantage of his own speed and his experience in the peloton. “Zak finished the last two grand tours with us and he was always good for a top-10 ranking in the sprints himself. Now he takes over responsibility for a leader.” Up-and-coming Irish sprinter Sam Bennett will lead the team in his grand tour debut, along with 25-year-old Dominik Nerz. Nerz is one member of a German quartet including Emanuel Bu-

chmann, Andreas Schillinger and Paul Voss while Czech veteran Jan Barta, Poland’s Bartosz Huzarski, experienced Portugese rider Jose Mendes and Dempster complete the nine-man squad. “We have proven in the past three years, what we are capable of at grand tours thanks to a perfect team performance and very high motivation: attacks until the last kilometer, podiums, stage wins and top placings in the GC,” Denk said. “This year, we want to use the biggest event in our sport again to convince with results – at best, of course, with a stage win.” The team has gone in with a balanced lineup of “classics” riders and power for the high moun-

READY: Zak Dempster will be competing in his second Tour. tains, according to Denk. “We currently see a very high performance level of the entire team. Accordingly, it was a close decision to name the final places in the tour squad,” he said. “Ultimately, we decided for an experienced team that supports our

dual leadership with Sam Bennett and Dominik Nerz at its best. For this year’s profile of the Tour de France, we appointed a good balance of classic specialists and climbers.” The Tour de France begins on July 4 with the final stage wrapping up in Paris on July 26.

AUSTRALIAN snooker star Neil Robertson is back in Bendigo determined not to let the Australian Snooker Goldfields Open title slip through his grasp again. Robertson’s campaign for an elusive victory in Bendigo begins on Tuesday, after two straight runner-up finishes to Marco Fu in 2013 and Judd Trump in 2014. Robertson has won the bulk of the major titles in world snooker, including a world championship, but is yet to claim the title in Bendigo. “Having a look at the field it is probably the strongest that the tournament has ever had,” he said, “The players know how the good the conditions are in Bendigo and the crowds get really good too. “It is a tournament that kicks off the season from an individual standpoint and I think everyone is looking forward to it.” Eleven of the top 15 players in the world are making the trip to Bendigo, including world champion, player of the year and 2012 tournament winner Stuart Bingham. Trump, the tournament’s defending champion, Fu and former world champion Mark Selby will be some of the event’s big names. Australian wild card entrants, Ben Judge of West Australia and Adrian Ridley of Victoria, secured the opportunity to compete in the open as best placed Australian and best placed Victorian at the 2015 City of Melbourne Snooker Championship at the RACV Club. Number two ranked Australian player Ridley, from Yarrawonga, is competing in his first Australian Snooker Goldfields Open. Continued Page 46
