Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 10, 2015

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Cash rate on hold THE Reserve Bank of Australia board did what was expected of it this week when it agreed to hold the official cash rate steady at two per cent. Housing Industry Association chief economist Harley Dale said there will be speculation in coming months as to whether the easing rate cycle is over, or the RBA has another rate cut bullet or two it is prepared to fire, but this week’s announcement and accompanying statement does not change that situation. “Regardless of whether the interest rate gun stays in the rack or not, the key is that super low borrowing costs are here to stay throughout 2015/16. That will help support housing activity at a time when there is scant evidence of strong momentum elsewhere in the domestic economy,” he said. Dr Dale said new home building activity and its large positive impacts on wider activity continues to form the key impetus to Australia’s domestic economy, post the resources construction boom. CR Martin has a stunning fourbedroom home at 7 Larritt Street, Bendigo to auction on Saturday

from 11.30am. Just a few minutes walk from the CBD, the home features new carpets, ducted heating, two bathrooms, polished floorboards and beautiful ornate high ceilings. Freshly painted throughout, the weatherboard home offers city living at its best. CR Martin also has a fourbedroom brick veneer home at 26 Athena Way, Strathfieldsaye up for auction from 1.30pm Saturday. With three living areas, ensuite, a ducted vacuum system, nine-foot ceilings, established low maintenance gardens set on a generous 1000-square metre allotment, the property offers an idyllic lifestyle in ever popular Strathfieldsaye. TWEED Sutherland First National has a Quarry Hill gem to auction from 11am Saturday. The fourbedroom, two-bathroom solid brick residence at 28 Carpenter Street is within walking distance of the CBD, enjoys two-street access and is on approximately 925 square metres. With a formal entry, separate dining, large family room overlooking the rear gardens, bay and leadlight windows, high ceilings and a beautiful light filled atrium, the home has also enjoyed long family ownership

AUCTION: 7 Larritt Street. in one of Bendigo’s most sought after locations. TSFN also has a large 3.2-acre allotment at 48 Hopetoun Street, Bendigo scheduled for auction from 1pm Saturday. Just 850 metres from the CBD, the parcel of land is currently zoned Public Use and includes 11 Crown allotments, representing a great opportunity for development (STCA) close to the heart of the city. MEANWHILE, Elders Bendigo reports a large crowd of up to 50 people were on hand last Saturday for the auction of a spectacular riverfront property, set on 8.6 hectares at 46 Axedale-Goornong Road, Axedale. Spirited bidding from several interested parties keen to secure lifestyle property as their own helped secure a sale under the hammer, much to the delight of all parties. A STATE-WIDE review into the Heritage Act 1995 has been launched to better protect Vic-

toria’s state-significant buildings and objects. Planning Minister Richard Wynne has released a discussion paper as the first step in reviewing the 20-year-old Heritage Act. He said the review would identify ways to strengthen and simplify planning rules for heritage places. Victoria has led the country in heritage protection and the review will ensure the act is modernised and provides clarity, particularly in areas where there is development around heritagelisted places. Any changes around sites listed on the Victorian Heritage Register require a permit under the Heritage Act. Fee structures around permits, appeals and penalties will also be updated. Early conversations with key stakeholders have found solid support for amending the act to simplify the processes involved with Victoria’s historic assets. Public consultation on the review of the act will occur over the next two months.

Laid back THE Bendigo Dance Eisteddfod wrapped up on Tuesday, but not before Leticia Buccheri took to the stage. The competitor from Mildura dressed completely in black to take part in the 14 and under-16 contemporary solo novice stage on Tuesday and rated an honourable mention. The event ran from June 27 until Tuesday with 1400 competitors taking part.

Groundwater fix still in balance AN interim solution to Bendigo’s toxic rising groundwater still remains unknown after missing the June 30 deadline. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has proposed five transition options to be used for the next two to three years. Three options include drawing water from the New Moon mine while two draw water from the Central Deborah mine. DELWP water entitlements and markets director Chris McAuley said only two of the transition options included the Woodvale Evaporation Ponds. “We are trying to find a long-term solution for the water. We are not considering Woodvale as a longterm option but it is on the table for transitional options,” he said. “We are very aware of the concerns raised by the community.” The DELWP’s plans also reveal scope for a new treatment plant in conjunction with Coliban Wa-

ter as part of the long-term solution to the problem. The groundwater has high levels of salt, arsenic and other metals. The state government told the Weekly in January it had asked Unity Mining to continue pumping the groundwater to Woodvale until June. The Environmental Review Committee’s Eaglehawk representative Ian Magee said Unity Mining was responsible for at least 30 per cent of the issue. Mr Magee said residents were concerned about the future of the ponds and were disappointed a solution had not been reached. Mr McAuley said a decision is imminent, but the department was still working through the options. “There is no simple solution to this,” he said. “We are working as hard as we can to finalise that as quickly as possible.” The timeframe and cost to fix the problem are also yet to be determined.

Discovery plans to remain open Crowdfunding gathers momentum for relaunch By CHRISTINE McGINN

THE Discovery Science and Technology Centre will reopen its doors on July 20 after a week-long break. Bendigo Trust will hand over the centre to the committee of management – who have pledged to continue the centre’s normal opening hours – on July 12. But they will take a week off after the school holidays to regroup and tidy the centre. Committee of management chair Katherine Legge remains quietly confident the centre will operate for at least another year. Dr Legge said the board was still in a phase of transition and would

need to consider the centre’s future operations once finalised. “The crowdfunding gives us some breathing space and it sends the

City chases pool funds

By CHRISTINE McGINN

HOPES remain high for the City of Greater Bendigo’s bid to receive $4.85 million in federal funding towards the $30m Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre. Lockwood ward councillor Barry Lyons led the push to apply to the National Stronger Regions Fund for additional money. Cr Lyons said the project was shovel-ready and had a good chance to obtain the $4.85m in federal gov-

ernment funding. ”The only reason we didn’t put the pool in (round one) was because it was not shovel-ready,” he said. “Now we are eligible to put in for the second round of NSRF as the project is now shovel-ready,” he said. He said the state government had shown generosity when committing $15m towards the aquatic centre. “It is not greedy to ask the federal government for the money,” he

said. “Hopefully the mayor and the chief executive officer will put in the

“With the second round coming so quickly and the project shovel-ready, I think it is a pretty good

decision of council to at least apply to the NSRF. We have the documentation ready, the project is ready and this will not delay the project any further so with council confirming the 50m pool and committing to

the application, it gives us strength to apply to the NSRF,” he said. Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said she would advocate for any application made by the local government or not-forprofit in the electorate. “In the last round, when money was allocated three aquatic centres/ pools were funded in the country. It will just come down the economics and the business case,” she said. Ms Chesters agreed it was an expensive project but councillors had made a democratic decision.

Backing for Brydee Reflections of life in Australia’s golden age His wife was relieved to find herself living in relatively comfortable circumstances. “She died well before her husband and there was an inquest into her death,” Davison said. “In her photograph she looks quite obese and we suspect she had a fondness for the drink. She left behind an 1858 family almanac which contained recipes. Many of them were about how to make beer and wine,” Davison said. “You can easily speculate that she may have thought that after a life of poverty and hardship and hunger, she felt entitled to enjoy herself. “My grandfather was a man who everyone in the family much admired. He was a printer and a preacher. “He was a warm and intelligent man who greatly influenced me.” Davison senses that the consistent desire for people to research their family history comes from an unconscious disappointment in the democratic process. He believes there is a loss of confidence in the future and people

are now looking to their past to find answers. By searching our past we hope to find the answer as to our personal identity. How we became who we are. What started off as a couple of thousand words on the family history for himself and other family members quickly turned into a project that Davison enjoyed immensely. He adopted a more personal voice which he

says came quite naturally and throughout the book he frequently reflects on his own response to episodes in the narrative. His peer, professor Janet McCalman, describes Lost Relations as a “conversation with his readers about historical imagination and truth”.

I want them to be financially stable to allow them to remain down there.” Ms Thompson said the Whitemans had found out about the cancer very early after Skye took Brydee to the hospital suffering from bronchiolitis. She said if the shoe was on the other foot, the Whitemans would be the first to help. “They are the most amazing couple, they are each others’ rocks.

ONE of this year’s guests is the eminent historian, Graeme Davison, whose latest book marks a distinct departure from his much praised histories such as The Rise and Fall of Marvellous Melbourne and Car Wars. After responding to a growing itch to explore his own family history, he has created a unique book which combines his skills as an historian along with his personal reflections. Lost Relations covers the lives of his ancestors who retreated from poverty in England and came to Australia in the mid19th century. His great-great grandparents lived in a miner’s cottage at Wesley Hill in Castlemaine and Davison found himself drawn to the cottage time and time again. “It’s still very much in its original condition,” he said. “I was quiet amazed to find that so little had changed.” Davison’s greatgreat grandfather Robert Hewett first lived in a tent on the goldfields and then built the cottage.

BABY Brydee has been diagnosed with leukaemia at only five-and-ahalf months old.

Friend Peta Thompson has started a crowdfunding campaign to raise $5000 to allow the California Gully family to stay with their youngest daughter in Melbourne. “I want Skye and Alex to be able to stay by Brydee’s side throughout her treatment so they don’t have to return to work,” the

Hazeldene’s holds firm

By PETER KENNEDY

ONE of central Victoria’s largest private employers has rejected claims the company has an overreliance on temporary work visa employees that is squeezing locals out of the workforce. Hazeldene’s Chicken Farm last month voluntarily presented at the public hearing of a Senate inquiry into the impact of Australia’s temporary work visa programs on the Australian labour market and on temporary work visa holders. The Lockwood-based company is one of regional Victoria’s largest private employers, currently employing about 720 people directly and has more than 670 contractors. Managing director John Ha-

zeldene said he welcomed the opportunity for the company to engage with the federal government via the Senate inquiry, and that Hazeldene’s was committed to its employees and valued the contribution staff from a broad range of culturally diverse backgrounds

and surrounding region. “Our preference is to employ local job seekers and to source contract services from local businesses however due to the highly technical nature of some of our world-class equipment we sometimes require highly qualified and

We currently have two team members (plus two partners) employed on a 457 visa made to the long-term viability of the business.

specialist skills for our business operations that cannot be sourced locally,” he said. “We currently have two team members (plus two partners) employed on a 457 visa, who as according to the requirements, bring specialist skills to our or-

ganisation. “While we do not use the Seasonal Worker Program we do have seasonal demand for our products and we manage that by engaging local staff on a casual basis over this period. We find that process works well for local job seekers and meets the needs of our operations.” Hazeldene’s also works in partnership with a range of companies who provide locally based contract staff, the majority of whom are local, for a broad range of tasks. Mr Hazeldene said by using reputable contracting companies, his business was able to source skilled staff while managing the fluctuating demands of its operations. Senior Hazeldene’s staff last

Fortuna Villa owner plans open access THE grandeur of Bendigo’s historic Fortuna Villa will come alive in guided tours just two years after Paul Banks took control. Adorned in decorative wallpapers, antique furnishings and stained-glass windows, Fortuna is being restored to its glory days. Former jumps jockey Paul Banks bought the estate in 2013 on the promise to restore the home and share it with the public. “Fortuna has always been magnificent so you don’t change something that is magnificent. You improve it and maintain it,” Mr Banks said. “We just have to open the doors and do it our way.” Mr Banks is opening up the 19th century building to the public, hosting guided tours and high tea from July 25. Fortuna will be open 10am to 1pm for a morning traditional high tea and again between 2pm and 5pm for an afternoon antipasto high tea and tour in the last week of each month. High tea will be served in one of the three billiard rooms, under an ornamental cedar ceiling. Home to the quartz king, George

Lansell, Fortuna Villa continues to celebrate and showcase the wealth and prosperity of the Victorian gold rush. Fortuna is one of the largest private homes in Victoria and secured its position on the Victorian heritage register in 2013. Mr Banks divided the property, selling a 2.8 hectare lot for residential housing providing financial security. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal approved the rezoning of the Chum Street site in Golden Square last year. Approval was granted with the Fortuna Comprehensive Development Plan in May 2014 to guide the development of the site’s two precincts. The first, the retention of Fortuna Villa, the lake and its surrounds for tourism and commercial use, with the second for residential development. A 23-lot residential subdivision for over 55-year-olds is also destined for the third site. The luxury and opulence of Fortuna is also captured in photographs at the Post Office Gallery until October 4. Mr Banks said the process to restore Fortuna Villa had been simple, easy and worthwhile.

month told the Senate inquiry that the company was extremely proud of the fact its workforce included 72 people from the Bendigo Karen community, as well as about 20 people from the Hazaragi community and others from Bangladesh, the Philippines, Nepal, African states and Fiji. During evidence given to the inquiry, management confirmed the company has only four team members on 457 visas and no-one employed on 417 visas, and rejected any implication Hazeldene’s had employed temporary workers on below-award rates. It was also confirmed that the company has about 130 specialist boning workers, all of whom were hired via a contract company, and that about one third of this group were on 417 and 457 visas.

Russell celebrates

GRAND: Fortuna Villa will be open to the public. “Fortuna can be anything it wants to be. It is never ending. There are opportunities galore here,” Mr Banks said. “Our main mission is this old girl and nothing else. We hope everyone who buys and lives around it lives happily ever after and there is no reason that they won’t.” For tour dates and bookings visit www.bendigotourism.com or www.fortuna-villa.com – Christine McGinn

WHILE Russell Jack’s 80th birthday was in January, the Chinese community have been celebrating his longevity all year. In fact two banquets were recently held to celebrate both Mr Jack’s birthday and the centenary of his life’s work, the Golden Dragon Museum. Mr Jack was supposed to have retired in 2012 but he is currently the vice-president of the Bendigo Chinese Association and chair of the museum board. The son of Long Gully herbalist Harry Louey Jack, Mr Jack says that while he is healthy he will still keep working. “I wish I was 30 again though, and then they’d know they were in for a fight,” he said. Mr Jack was referring to his thwarted efforts to build an expansion for the museum which requires local, state and federal government funding. “The BCA has been pre-

pared to donate $1million towards what would be an amazing tourism attraction for Bendigo and I am still pushing for that new building,” he said. ”We were just given this Quing dynasty carriage which was stored in a farm building; it’s beautiful, made of wood and iron, but it’s taking up a lot of room. “I want to expand the museum, that’s for sure and another wish is that we want that archway back.” Mr Jack’s other wish is that there were more men around of the calibre of former politician David Kennedy who pushed on behalf of the museum. “We had men like David and the men on the Loong 100 Committee.” Formed in the 1960s the committee consisted mainly of directors, including Allen Guy, John Henderson, Leo Cohn and Jock Granter. “They were great men who worked hard,” Mr Jack said.

To mark the Anzac centenary (2014-2018) and aligned to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Lone Pine, Remembrance Parks - Central Victoria invites you to attend the unveiling of our Gallipoli Lone Pine Memorial.

PLANNING AHEAD: Daniel Woods, Harry Lloyd and Tom Williams at La Trobe Uni. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN STUDENTS at La Trobe University’s regional campuses in 2016 and beyond will have access to a guaranteed work placement and study grant. The new initiative, Regional Reward, guarantees work placement and a $1000 travel grant for study abroad from 2016. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, only 25 per cent of Bendigonians have a university education in comparison to the

state average of 40 per cent. La Trobe pro vice-chancellor Richard Speed said it was part of their ongoing commitment to regional communities. “The best way for students to learn how to excel in their chosen career is through doing the job, which is why we have secured placements for all students at our regional campuses,” Professor Speed said. “We want to help boost our stu-

This will provide those communities with what they need to grow.”

Youngsters take a safer option VICTORIAN teenagers are taking up the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in record numbers to protect them from cancers. The National HPV Vaccination Program Register found 77.2 per cent of Victorian girls, turning age 15 in 2014, had received all three HPV vaccine doses in comparison to the national average of 73 per cent. Almost 67 per cent of male youth had received the vaccine, above the national average of 60 per cent in the same time period. But males were 11 per cent less likely than girls to complete the recommended three-dose treatment. Eaglehawk Medical Group practice nurse Sandra Grogan said the HPV vaccine was very effective. “Originally the vaccine was just for cervical cancer which shows the highest rates of the virus having effect. But it has been found there is

an increase in males anal and oral cancers related to the HPV,” she said. “It is really hard to sell to some males, particularly parents, because generally the anal and oral cancers are associated with the gay community.” Ms Gorgan said it was important for parents to give consent for their 12 to 13 year olds to have the full HPV vaccine doses. “The fear of having a wart on their penis is greater than the fear of needle,” she said. “It is important that they have it. It will reduce the health burden down the track for both males and females. There is already talk about changing cervical screening from two to five years just because of the effectiveness of the vaccine. “It is making a difference.” The free HPV vaccination has

been available to boys since 2013 and girls since 2007 under a federal government program. Cancer Council head of prevention Craig Sinclair said the target for all three HPV vaccination doses is more than 90 per cent in both males and females. “The more young people we can vaccinate now, the less HPV-related cancers and disease we will see in the future,” he said. “HPV vaccination is really important for males. The vaccine has huge short and long term benefits for males, providing protection against genital warts, as well as penile and anal cancers.” Boys and girls aged 12 to 13, are eligible for the free vaccine inside or outside school. Otherwise each dose costs $150. To find out more visit www.hpvvaccine.org.au

Raising the flag on NAIDOC

Formerly trading as Pictureman

PHOTOGRAPHS

ANNUAL CEREMONY: The flag was raised with great ceremony. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN THE annual launch of NAIDOC Week was conducted last Monday at the Civic Gardens in typical chilly winter conditions. Mayor Cr Peter Cox and representatives from various Bendigo organisations witnessed the welcome to country which was conducted by Dja Dja Wurrung elder Uncle Graham Atkinson.

Peter Cox and Mr Atkinson presented more than 20 local organisations with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flag. Each organisation will then fly its flag at its offices to acknowledge the important contributions of indigenous people to shaping our local community and nation.

The launch has become a firmly entrenched ritual in Bendigo’s public calender NAIDOC Week first began in Bendigo in 1999. It represents an opportunity for indigenous and non-indigenous people to celebrate the traditions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

The Bendigo NAIDOC Committee organised an exciting program of cultural activities and performances to celebrate the week. One of the many events included the Kunldoorong art exhibition which will be held at the MacGilivray Hall in McCrae Street until Saturday.

Under new management A 46 hectare property at Mount Barker, Harcourt, was officially granted to the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation by the Indigenous Land Corporation last Friday. Mt Barker was initially bought by the ILC on behalf of the DDWCAC who have been undertaking work to protect the land’s cultural heritage values which include a scar tree. Of even greater significance however is the presence of an amazing stone arrangement at the top of Mt Barker. The stones were arranged by the Dja Dja Wurrung people to represent Mindi, a large serpent, who was said to be responsible for the smallpox epidemic during the 1800s. By conducting ceremonial activity around Mindi, Manungabum, chief speaker of the Dja Dja Wurrung, lead his people in the recovery from the epidemic. The handing over ceremony

THE City of Greater Bendigo has completed major retrofits of three of its major sites as part of an energy efficiency upgrade project aimed at reducing energy use and carbon emissions. Retrofits to the Bendigo Art Gallery, the Capital Theatre and the Lyttleton Terrace office building are among stage two works of a project that also hopes to reduce energy costs and support clean energy. The installation of LED lighting in administration areas of the gallery, a carbon dioxide sensor, pre-coolers and a five-speed drive to reduce motor speeds in air handling units are expected to lead to a 16 per cent reduction in energy usage. More than 130 LED lights have been installed within the Capital Theatre and pre-coolers have also been installed to help achieve a four per cent saving in energy usage, while at the Lyttleton Terrace offices, the commissioning of a building automation system is expected to achieve a 12 per cent reduction in energy use. The second stage works form part of a project where the council matched a federal government of $380,000 to make changes to seven of the municipality’s highest energy consuming areas, also including the Hargreaves Street multi-storey car park, Adam Street depot, Bendigo Livestock Exchange and the Bendigo Aquatic Centre. In November 2011 the council set a target to reduce its carbon emissions from energy use by 50 per cent by 2020, based on 2010/11 usage.

Be in the running for Dad RUNNERS are pulling on their sneakers in preparation for this year’s Run4Dad. New runners are encouraged to keep a good, comfortable pace as they learn to become star runners. Locals training for Run4Dad should walk and run to build up aerobic fitness and stamina before the event. Runners should have

a slight lean forward, a relaxed upper body and lift their lower arms up with their thumbs leading the way, working through the hips. Feet should hit the ground under your hips and first contact the ground in front of your heel without overstriding. Beginners are encouraged to walk for the first two weeks, learn to maintain a conversation while

running to pace their breathing, have rest days, limit their weekly total distance no more than five kilometres a week, and train for at least four weeks. Wearing a good pair of running shoes is important with many types available to suit your foot. It is suggested to seek the advice of trained footwear professionals such as sponsor Athletes Foot

to fit you out. Runners should plan a program, with at least 30 minutes of continuous training each session. Those in training could start with an hour on Sunday followed by 30 minutes every second day of the week. The Run4Dad team will give you more training options next week to help with your training preparation.

You’re not alone

NEIL Gemmill said he never believed in anxiety and stress. “I was always pretty happy in life, I thought those sorts of things were just something you read about in magazines,” he said. But not unlike other men before him, Mr Gemmill was in for a rude shock. “I used to be a landscape gardener, I had a wonderful career,” he said. “But that all changed when I lost my job. I had taken on a permanent position with an organisation in Bendigo and 18 months later it was all over.” In his middle age, Mr Gemmill looked around him and found it virtually impossible to find a job.

He also discovered how vital employment was for his mental health. His sense of having a place, a role in the world was taken from him. “When employment is taken away, you feel isolated and not connected to society. Work gives you a structure, you connect to people, talk to them,” he said. Mr Gemmill is always looking for work but he said the doors are closed. “The government wants people to work until they’re 70 but there is a real barrier as you get older,” he said. Mr Gemmill has also had to battle with the stigma that surrounds depression. Without any physical manifestation, depression is an illness that peo-

ple don’t recognise and often don’t sympathise with. However Mr Gemmill is fighting back. He has sought professional help and is using strategies to try to overcome the depression and anxiety. One of these strategies is to reach out to other men who may be feeling the same way and form a support group. By sharing their stories, Mr Gemmill believes the group can come up with realistic ways of helping each other and getting involved in programs and activities. With a view to helping others, Mr Gemmill would like to invite other men who are in a similar position to contact him on 0417 144 280.

NEW HAVEN: Lisa Chesters with stakeholders of the scheme. Photo: STEVE KENDALL

Finding a home By CHRISTINE McGINN

LOCAL disability service providers are working together to develop a longterm solution to Bendigo’s unmet affordable housing demand. More than 25 individuals and organisations met at Haven; Home, Safe on Friday to share ideas and develop a roadmap for appropriate disability housing options. Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters decided to form the group, after constant meetings with parents who faced a future without suitable accommodation for their children. “The parents I have met with are in a desperate situ-

ation. Many of them live with and care for their adult disabled children around the clock with little or no respite. It’s taking a huge toll on their families, finances, relationships with other children and their own health,” she said. “A workable disability housing scheme requires flexibility. Families tell me that what they want is the opportunity to sit down with an independent advocate and talk through a range of options to suit their own situation.” Ms Chesters said the group brought together parents, carers and advocacy groups with government to determine the unmet de-

mand. “It is the first time in a long time that we have been able to bring this group together to say what is the unmet demand in disability housing, what is safe, affordable and what is the best way to meet those needs,” she said “We have together the people how can solve the problem.” Ms Chesters said Haven; Home, Safe was instrumental in the discussion having developed the best model for community housing. “We have all the people locally and we have to start working through this in an open, transparent and practical way,” she said.

See the light at Discovery

IT’S been in the news for other reasons, but Bendigo’s Discovery Science and Technology Centre has also had plenty going on these school holidays. The team has delved into the darker side of science with brand new shows and workshops which highlight the International Year of Light. It is within the inky blackness of Discovery’s auditorium that the centre’s new science show “Away from the Shadows” has seen some of the darkest secrets of shadows dissected. “We’ll look at how we use shadows to tell time, convey information, and we’ll even change their colour and make them jump right out from the wall,” Discovery’s manager Kate Barnard said. Afterwards, you can kick‐ back and relax in the planetarium on a beanbag and become completely immersed in the expanse of space, where

light and dark are experienced very differently. Planetarium coordinator Craig Kendal said the centre was also presenting a brand new planetarium show called “Into the Dark”. “From black holes to dark matter, we’ll be exploring some of the weird things that go on in the universe and investigate questions such as what would happen if we got too close to a black hole?” he said. The centre will also be offering a brand new hands‐on workshop called “Playing with Shadows”. Discover how to change a shadow’s colour, or make your own shadow box – creating interesting shapes and patterns from darkness. Discovery is open from 10am to 4pm throughout the holidays. Please visit www.discovery.asn.au for show and activity times.

Workshops show way ahead FREE workshops took place last week to encourage youngsters to be job ready. The first workshop was targeted at young people finishing university or TAFE studies and ready to enter the workforce for the first time in their chosen career. The second was aimed at young people looking for their first part time job. A variety of topics were covered including reading job adverts, developing a resume and developing a let-

ter of application. The workshop also covered interview techniques, references, using your networks and social media. Mayor Peter Cox welcomed the opportunity. “It can be daunting applying for your first job, either in your chosen career or when entering the workforce for the first time. These workshops will help navigate the challenges of job applications and how to make a great first impres-

sion,” he said. “Everyone has to start somewhere, so you will also receive tips on how to read job advertisements, figure out if a job is right for your skill level and prepare the best application you can. “We were pleased to provide these workshops to help local young people obtain the skills they need to meet the requirements of employers and become positive and active members of the workforce.”

Voices heard

By DYLAN VAN DE RIET

IN PARLIAMENT: Nick Wilkins, Sam Meyer and Aaron Thorn.

THE voice of the young Bendigo community was heard at the highest state level, as legislation written by three local mates passed through the Victorian YMCA Youth Parliament last week. Teammates and former high-school friends Nick Wilkins, Aaron Thorn and Sam Meyer spent three days in Parliament debating various bills with 19 oth-

er teams from across the state. They sponsored their own bill seeking to change the way unhealthy highsugar foods are labelled and distributed. The team was formed by Sam, who was determined to make it back to the program after participating two years earlier. “I went in the first day thinking this is ridiculous. But by the end of the last

day, I didn’t want to go home,” he said. “Ever since then I’ve been fighting to get a team.” The team had no backing from a university or council, instead entering the program as an independent team. “We are the only team that has to source funding externally… we are paying for ourselves.” Their bill, entitled Reconstructing the Labelling and Distribution of High Sugar

How good is your memory in completing the following lines? “There is a bear in there and a chair …….?” “Don’t hit the road without one?” “I bought a …..?” “Let’s go there.” I am sure by now you may well be asking what does this have to do with cycling? It is memory that we are seeking to activate and keep activated with all shared road users. What we want them to re-

member was neatly summed up in an advertisement for safe motorcycling some years back. It encouraged drivers to “Look Right, Look Left, Look Bike.” The first question we usually ask of shared road users when there is a near miss or, worse, a collision with a cyclist is “where were you looking?” What we should really ask is “what were you looking for?” As a daily commuter with a regular routine I see other shared road users most days of the week in a similar location on the road. This is fine when we are travelling in the same direc-

tion or passing each other travelling in different directions. But I still find caution the highest priority when approaching an intersection whether I have the right of way or not. It doesn’t matter how bright a cyclist’s clothing or their front and rear lights are (even to the point of being far too bright for some oncoming traffic). If a driver is not looking for a cyclist before coming through an intersection safely then all the cyclist’s efforts to be visible are in vain. There is some value in trying to gain eye contact and watching the movement of the vehicle as one would watch

Foods was passed on a vote of 35 to 17, despite healthy debate from their opposition. “We’re not stopping people from buying these foods, we’re just giving them the information to make a better decision,” team member Nick Wilkins said. The bill will be passed onto consumer affairs minister Jane Garrett, for consideration at the conclusion of Youth Parliament.

for a person’s body language Unfortunately, vehicles with tinted windows can make eye contact almost impossible. Newer vehicles with regulatory side airbags also have a larger blind spot making it more difficult for drivers to see cyclists. One of my adages used to be: Cyclists need to think like car drivers and car drivers need to think like cyclists. We all have a role in remembering what is needed to safely share the road. What we need to remember is ”what are you looking for?” Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

ACTIVE MEMORY: All road users need to remember to actively look for each other, especially where a vehicle has significant blind spots. Photo: CHRISTIAN BARKLA

Friday, July 10, 2015 – Bendigo Weekly aim for safer roads Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards has congratulated RoadSafe Central Victoria after it was successful in securing funding for a project designed to save lives and prevent serious injuries on local roads. The TAC’s Community Road Safety Grants Program provides grants of up to $25,000 to local councils, schools, community and not-for profit registered groups who can identify a road safety issue and come up with a proposal to fix it. RoadSafe Central Victoria received $22,300 to provide important road trauma training. The funding will be used to provide training to 100 motorcyclists and rural first responders with training on road trauma treatment for motorcycle or other motor vehicle accidents.

tobacco sellers smoked out Cigarette retailers have been reminded of their responsibilities under the Tobacco Act 1987 after three of them failed the latest round of tobacco test purchasing by the City of Greater Bendigo. Sixteen retailers were tested for selling tobacco products to a minor and City Environmental Health and Local Laws manager, Susannah Milne, said while it was good most complied with the act it was difficult to understand why some were not. Retailers caught supplying tobacco products to a minor risk an on-the-spot fine of $606 for an individual or $9,100 for a company.

permit needed to demolish The City of Greater Bendigo is concerned about the number of buildings, both houses and larger outbuildings, being demolished without a correct permit. Municipal building surveyor, Hans Tracksdorf, said almost all demolition work requires a permit under the Building Act 1993 and work should be carried out by a registered demolition contractor. “Some of the buildings that have been demolished have dated back to the 1920s and could have been considered historic and of special interest to the city’s early development,” Mr Tracksdorf said. Demolition without the required permit is a breach of the act and penalties can be as high as $10,000 plus legal costs.

have your say on crime The state government is seeking expressions of interest from Victorians who have had experience in dealing with the impact of a range of serious crimes and are committed to improving justice for all victims. Victims of crime will continue to play a vital role in shaping Victoria’s criminal justice system, with expressions of interest now open for membership of the Victims of Crime Consultative Committee. Attorney-General Martin Pakula invited victims of crime to join the committee and have their say on legislation, policy and support services for victims over a two-year term. The committee brings together victim representatives, Victoria Police, the Office of Public Prosecutions, the judiciary, the Adult Parole Board, the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal and victim service agencies. Expressions of interest should be addressed to: Director, Victims Support Agency, GPO Box 4349, Melbourne, 3001 and be received by no later than July 31, 2015.

Doctor returns Obstetrician and gynaecologist Emma Buckland is returning to Bendigo, where she began her career in obstetrics. Dr Buckland grew up in Swan Hill and on completing her medical degree at Monash University moved to Bendigo in 2004, where she took a job as a resident in obstetrics on the maternity ward at Bendigo Health. It was here that her love of obstetrics started. Dr Buckland gained entry into obstetrics and gynaecology training at the Royal Women’s Hospital the

following year. Dr Buckland has since completed her full qualifications as an obstetrician and gynaecologist. She is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist with special interests in high and low risk pregnancy, period problems and menopausal symptom management and will be working at St John of God Hospital with private patients, and at Bendigo Health. Dr Buckland is excited to move back to the place where her career in obstetrics began.

“My love of obstetrics, caring for pregnant woman and delivering babies began after working on the maternity ward in Bendigo,” Dr Buckland said. “I did my qualification as a GP obstetrician during that year and learnt my basics in obstetrics and gynae from the fantastic midwives and consultants here. “I look forward to returning to the region with my family and caring for the women of Bendigo. I feel like I am coming home.”

HOME: Emma returns to the place it all began.

End of the fast a cultural delight It was with enormous delight that I attended the communal end of the daily fast held by the Bendigo Islamic Association on Saturday. The massive feast that followed, known as Iftar, was a splendid example of mouthwatering food from Bangladesh. Each week, one of the 25 culturally diverse groups that make up our Islamic community highlight food from their region. After fasting from dawn until sunset, I can appreciate the need for a variety of nourishing and tasty food. Above all, I was most impressed by the large amount of goodwill between all people, even though some of us do not follow the Islamic tradition. Without denying the grave concerns that currently exist throughout the world, let me say without doubt that we have in our midst some very wonderful, community minded people. And do they love Bendigo. I believe goodwill between people brings down the walls that would otherwise divide us. I invite other people of goodwill to stand up and be counted. It’s time to really welcome and embrace each other as fellow human beings. You can count me in. Bill Clyde, Quarry Hill

Rail debate continues Replying again to Trains for all. Bill Collier, letters July 3. I have no need to contact the V/ Line authority as you mention as I am quite catered for with the current V/Line timetable, trains stopping at Watergardens. My concern was with your suggestion that trains should be express and no stop at suburban stations (Letters, June 19). It would be a little easier if a few more stopped at Watergardens – maybe if we get more services in the future. And as you say, Golden Square station being opened is another idea. Happy train travelling Bill. Christine Uren, Golden Square

Mindset change required There is a flaw in how our council, the City of Greater Bendigo, operates.

Councillors should act as our board of directors setting strategic direction via the council plan and budget, direct the management team, and monitor its performance; but they don’t. Councillors’ election platforms are collectively scrambled. The officers fill the void; something never intended. Unelected, almost unaccountable senior officers prepare the plan/ budget. Councillors, playing little meaningful role in the formulation, give it the nod. Everyone then pretends it’s the community’s plan. Apart from tokenism, most ratepayers are frozen out of the process. Consequently, council plans lack public legitimacy and ownership. The recent Community Satisfaction Survey results demonstrated 14 priority areas the community judged to be important, were the areas council performed disastrously. Take Community Decisions, where the community scored 81 on a 100 point scale, but gave council a score of just 51 on performance; a disgraceful 30 point difference. Worse, areas council boasts about and loses millions on – tourism, the gallery, and culture – are the community’s bottom three important areas. A mindset change is required to involve residents in the decision making process. I propose a citizens’ jury to help identify priorities at the start of each new council’s term. This would provide a boost in community confidence in local government. The new council would commission the panel of residents and business owners to make council direction and financial plan recommendations. The panel would be given access to information and financial data. Like a jury, they would deliberate and deliver a verdict. An enlightened new elected council would consider all recommendations, including some brave new policies. This not a pie in the sky concept and has been successfully implemented in Melbourne City Council and in places as diverse as Canada, Denmark and China. The Melbourne People’s Panel shows the public is very smart, if given the time and information necessary to work through the issues. The panel members showed themselves to be unencumbered by entrenched positions and powerful vested interests. Now is the time to acknowledge

deficiencies in how our council functions and promote positive ideas for reform. Michael McKenzie, Bendigo

A complacent nation Australian legislation in all states and territories mandates that an extensive list of occupations, especially nurses, teachers, doctors and police report if they “suspect on reasonable grounds that a child is at risk of significant harm”. In the Northern Territory, this is a requirement of every adult. How can our “onshore” determination to protect all children from sexual predation and emotional and physical neglect, exploitation and abuse be reconciled with the unspeakable Australian Border Force Act, which threatens prosecution for otherwise mandated professionals should they speak about about the harm inflicted upon asylum seeker children in Australian detention? How is it that we can draw no parallels between current government policy and the findings of the ongoing Royal Commission into the abuse of children in institutional care, which has revealed repeatedly how secrecy allows the most violent and perverse abuse to flourish? As a registered nurse I applaud Doctors Against the Border Force Act, members of whom held a silent protest in Melbourne’s Carlton Gar-

dens. As a human being I despair at the brutal totalitarianism of the Coalition Government and the Labor Party, and the callous complacency of a nation which endorses such deliberate inhumanity. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Approach with caution Two observations about the matter of same-sex marriage. Forty years ago, progressive thinking about marriage regarded it as an outmoded and unnecessary institution. Today this appears to a common view among young people; for instance, of the 29 birth announcements featured in the last three issues of the Weekly, 21 (72 per cent) were listed as having parents with different family names. Presumably they are unmarried. Why the current fervour with which a redundant, ignored relic is now being promoted? What underlying anxiety is driving it? Secondly, evolutionary biologists examining the development of sex are perplexed. Asexual reproduction is more efficient than sexual in a number of ways, yet sexual reproduction is biologically dominant among vertebrates. Michael Brooks, in his book 13 Things That Don’t Make Sense, says it

fits in with the proposition that there is a social role for sex. That is, a gender-differentiated environment is better for the socialising of offspring, and this dictates the procreation mechanism. We should approach the brave new world of same-sex marriage with caution. Brian Stanmore, Junortoun

Worth celebrating I write to congratulate Peter Kennedy and the Bendigo Weekly team on 18 years in publication. This is a wonderful achievement, particularly for a regional newspaper, and I am one of the thousands of people across the region who enjoys reading a copy of the Weekly every Friday, as well as the online articles during the week. I also congratulate Keith Sutherland, Steve Carter and the late Daryl McClure for their vision to establish a weekly paper for the region; one that now has the distinction of being the most read newspaper in Bendigo. I read with interest Peter’s recent comments that the Weekly is about to enter an exciting new chapter. I look forward to seeing what this might be. Best wishes for your future, Bendigo Weekly, and keep up the good work. Wendy Lovell MP Member for Northern Victoria Region.

Dare to dream BendigoWeekly

Local issues need solutions

pk with Peter Kennedy

FLICK back to page three of this week’s Bendigo Weekly and there are two very important stories placed side by side, both with serious implications for our community. As a city that owes its prosperity and vitality to its golden past, Bendigo has inherited some difficult legacies from the mining era, the silently rising groundwater that threatens a lot more than just the Central Deborah tourism complex being one of them. More importantly, how we as a community manage the problems posed by toxic groundwater is a major, major problem and one whose solution is long overdue. Then there’s the Discovery Science and Technology Centre, currently auspiced by the Bendigo Trust, but recently announced as due to close after this weekend’s cessation of the school holidays. How to fund, whether to fund and who should fund Discovery, is well, yet to be discovered. Or revealed. Importantly, for Discovery’s sake, it seems to have won at least a stay of execution, giving the facility, its supporters and the City of Greater Bendigo time to work out a realistic and sustainable plan for the future. Discovery should not be reliant on a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise $30,000 towards the centre’s survival. If the centre is truly valued by the City of Greater Bendigo and/or the state government, then there should be no need for the type of grass roots campaign we have seen unfold in recent weeks.

Editorial Comment IN a year where the Bendigo Chinese Association celebrates the centenary of its move into Bridge Street and the organisation’s patriarch celebrates his own 80th birthday, there’s good reason to pause and reflect on the BCA’s role in our community today. There would be no Easter Parade were it not for the Bendigo Chinese Association. If there was no parade, there may well be no Easter carnival either. The BCA’s contribution to this city is immeasurable. Having persevered through incredibly difficult times back in the fledgling days of Sandhurst, having endured enormous hardship, discrimination and illtreatment during the heady days of early European settlement, the city’s Chinese contingent has ridden over the top of adversity to remain as integral a part of the local community as they ever have. The distress that arose from the removal of the prominent wooden archway

VISION: Russell Jack OAM earlier this year, coupled with long held ambitions for a larger home for its priceless collection of Chinese artefacts, are together an opportunity to realise the grand plans for the next stage of development in the Dai Gum San precinct. It’s also a chance to once again turn dreams into reality. The Golden Dragon Museum website tells the tale of a bygone era, where thousands of intrepid Cantonese Chinese travelled across dangerous seas and rugged countryside to reach the rich goldfields in the heart of Victoria where the promise of a better life rested: They called this place, Dai Gum San, Big Gold Mountain. A place of untold wealth and promise. Today, Dai Gum San is again rich as the Chinese Cul-

tural Centre of Australia. Where wealth was once measured in gold, it now sits in the deep history left behind by those early Chinese miners. If we accept this, then we owe it to the past, to ourselves and to our city’s future to do more to further enhance the precinct. There are significant economic, cultural and social benefits to be had from committing to the vision of a larger museum, and to an even better Dai Gum San. Bendigo is a city blessed with many opportunities and reasons to be optimistic for the future, and for that we must be both grateful and appreciative. Securing the necessary funds to fulfil such rich potential is always going to be difficult, but success will only make the challenge all the more worthwhile.

This is big. Really big.

This columnist’s only other point is whether or not the Discovery Centre needs to or should be situated where it is today. Countless council planning documents dating back at least a decade discuss the merits of a move to an education or recreation precinct, wherever that may be. In 2005, consultants wrote that the future of the Discovery Centre needs to be resolved, with expansion of Marketplace activities into the building a likely outcome. “The Discovery Centre may be more appropriately located in an Education or Recreation Precinct. The use of the Goods Shed should remain separate from the remainder of Marketplace, retain the heritage qualities of the building and present a lively exterior integrated with the Station precinct, and pedestrian activity.” Bendigo’s groundwater problem may be invisible to many of us, and its cause may rest hundreds of metres below the ground’s surface. But to residents of the Woodvale area, its repercussions are both apparent and alarming. The evaporation ponds that today store toxic sediment deposited over many years as a stop gap solution to the problem are a constant reminder of a temporary solution that should only ever have been viewed as temporary, and never as a solution. In the 21st century we should not be reduced to utilising essentially 19th century practices to manage something so serious. The search for a long awaited and overdue solution should have been over by now.

If you’re looking for one unexpected laugh after another in a play that appeals to football lover and football haters, then Reserved Seating Only is one for you. Appearing at Bendigo’s Engine Room and then touring to Heathcote, Elmore, Pyramid Hill and Castlemaine, this comedy about life, love and the AFL if a nifty examination of our national obsession with sport. Our great game is viewed by an unlikely pair in the reserved section of a major football stadium. This action packed play features reallife husband and wife team David Ross

Paterson (Frost/Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chopper, Saving Mr Banks) as a loud, burly football fan, and Cecelia Specht (Criminal Minds, Castle, Star Trek, Neighbours) as a recently divorced football widow, who has claimed her ex-husband’s tickets as part of a messy divorce settlement. As a footy “conscientious objector” she is blissfully immune to the attraction of the game and instantly locks horns with her ex-husband’s footy mate who becomes her reluctant companion over four eventful quarters. They make a seriously mismatched couple with little to offer each other. Or do they?

Battle of the Bands is back

Floyd experienced H

UNDREDS of appreciative music fans enjoyed an evening of familiar guitar riffs from the combined brilliance of Pink Floyd with Adelaide-based Experience Floyd, last Friday at Bendigo’s Capital Theatre. Experience Floyd’s eight musicians and three female backing vocalists kept the crowd rocking for more than three hours with some of Pink Floyd’s most memorable work, spanning more than two decades. The concert covered material from Pink Floyd’s 1971 Meddle album through to their 1994 The Division Bell album, including numerous tracks from their 1979 rock extravaganza, The Wall. The unmistakable opening bars of Pink Floyd’s classic Shine On You Crazy Diamond from their 1975 Wish You Were Here album set the tempo for a tremendous evening. Experience Floyd lead guitarist and co-founder Daniel Hunter, along with drummer Jason Miller and lead vocalist Matt Goodluck kept up a wall-to-wall repertoire of hits, accompanied by former Bendigonian, bass guitarist Mark Dole and the rest of the talented ensemble. The Capital’s small stage was always going to struggle in trying to replicate the vitality of the real thing with towers of stadium filling speakers, spectacular light shows and giant props. However, Experience Floyd’s attention to detail and musical talent made it the next best thing to a genuine Floyd experience. And no Pink Floyd experience would be complete without the classic rock anthem Another Brick In The Wall assisted by students from California Gully Primary School. – Nick Atyeo

EGISTRATIONS have opened for young artists to register for the 2015 FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands competition. The competition kicks off 6pm on Friday, July 31 at St Andrews Hall, Myers Street. This is an opportunity for all bands, trios, duos and soloists to take to the stage to share their talent with the local community and compete to represent Greater Bendigo at the next stage of the competition. Council’s Steven Abbott said the annual competition aims to provide young people with an opportunity to get involved and celebrate their musical performance abilities. “We’ve had some great acts win Battle of the Bands in the past and it is always good to see local young people put themselves out there and share their passion and talents,” Mr Abbott said. “This is a chance for up-and-coming acts, from folk singers to metal bands, to play their first gig in front of a supportive audience.” FReeZA is a state government-funded initiative which enables local young people to develop events and entertainment opportunities for their peers. People of all ages are welcome to attend the Battle of the Bands competition, which is a drug, alcohol and smoke-free event. Registrations close Monday July 13, 2015.

Blank canvas for equality T

HERE is a lot of talk about equality at the moment, and it’s to be welcomed. But we actually have to go with it. Let’s make it that all are equal. Full stop. We don’t need to have gay marriage or traditional marriage or same-sex marriage or church marriage we need to have marriage. We don’t need women or men to have different opportunities, we need to have opportunities. We don’t need to fight over catholic, muslim, or anglican we need to accept religion. Now I’ve made this point I want to voice an opinion on a tough subject. Politicians are winding up for the constitutional recognition of the first

people of Australia. Indigenous groups are quite rightly fighting for that recognition. But once that recognition is there, shall we all just be Australian? We won’t be migrants, or first generation Australians or indigenous Australian or gay Australian or heterosexual Australians or any mixture of the above we will be Australian. Equal in law and nationality. While we fight over the differences we missing the chance of equality and harmony. It does not mean we have to agree, or join in the acts but we have to accept the right for it. We have to accept people have different thoughts and religious and sexual leanings, but

it doesn’t detract from their right to be treated equally. Racism is the most poisonous of traits, and it generally comes from ignorance of the greater world. While seeking out this equality we should expect something in return from those who have extreme differences of opinion. If someone comes to live in Australia they need to respect the laws of the land, or expect to be punished. It’s a simple plan. But they need to be punished by the courts, not by persecution or vigilantes. No one person or group should think they are above the law and rules of the land. That’s equality. Which is where I come back to

our biggest divide. It’s not marriage equality, it the positive discrimination where Australia is continuing to treat indigenous and non-indigenous people in different ways. The fact we even have different names for people is discrimination. It might be well meaning, but it’s still

discrimination. So perhaps our discussion should be aiming to accept the problems of the past, and note it in official paperwork, but leave it behind and move forward with a non-divisive equality for all. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

Concert set for orchestra B

ENDIGO Symphony Orchestra members recently joined Box Hill’s Whitehorse Orchestra on a tour to the city of Shaoxing in China. Violinists Joan Ledwich, Marjorie Sutton, Jaynee RussellClarke, timpanist Roger Adams and violist Denise Peterson, as guests of the Music Faculty of Shaoxing University and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China. The augmented Whitehorse Orchestra rehearsed and performed two concerts in Shaoxing; a children’s concert introducing the western instruments of the orchestra to a packed house of lively youngsters and their parents, and a collaborative concert with the students and teachers of the faculty. The tour was considered an outstanding success not only as a cultural collaboration between the two countries, but as a strengthening of ties between two Victorian community orchestras.

Now back with their own orchestra, the players are looking forward to performing in the Bendigo Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming concert at St Paul’s Cathedral, Myers Street on Sunday, July 19 at 2.30pm. Highlight of the program will be the Haydn Cello Concerto in C featuring Toni Meehan. The orchestra will also perform Elgar’s Enigma Variations and Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture. The concert will be conducted by Rohan Phillips Tickets will be available at the door: $20 for adults, $10 for secondary students and younger children are free. The event will support the ongoing cathedral restorations and afternoon tea will follow the performance. The BSO always welcomes enquiries from new players. No audition is required.

Extending the lockup

Bookshop with a difference

HE original Municipal lockup to help serve the Municipal Police Court that sat in a large room upstairs in the town hall, was as mentioned last week ready for use in September 1861. A sense of municipal pride was already starting to swell in the breasts of our civic fathers in 1881. The councillors had decided to lobby the Victorian colonial government for the extension of the Municipal lockup. Towards the end of February arrangements had been made to press the matter of these extensions at the highest level. All three local members of the Legislative Assembly of Parliament had arranged a deputation of themselves to the Commissioner of Public Works. Our members were at that time Robert Burrowes, who was Minister of Mines, he was 50. The second MLA to be part of the delegation was Robert Clark, the miner’s friend. Clark had been intensely involved in the eight hour work movement, had been a councillor and mayor of the city in 1875. Third in the line up was John Quick MLA who like the other two members was a well respected figure, even at that stage already pressing his aspiration for the federation of the Australian

colonies. Burrowes, Clark and Quick waited upon Thomas Bent, who was acting deputy for Charles Young as the Commissioner of Public Works. The three local members of parliament wished to urge on the deputy commissioner, the necessity of the council proposal to make additions to the municipal lockup as soon as was practicable. The extension was to provide additional accommodation, specifically for the lockup keeper and his family. Once extended the council would receive an extra £40 per annum for the lockup rental from the government, on top of the same amount already being paid up until that time. The plans had been

drawn up for the extension and it was planned to take off the existing roof and add another storey to the building. The corners of the brick work, was to have plastered quoins added from the base to the top to the eaves, thus giving the structure visual unity and making an architectural statement. The lockup with its extension, would when completed, add more to the adjacent town hall which was being remodelled to an Italian renaissance style. This work was completed in 1883. By 1882 the extension to the lock up was finalised. The transformation of the original town hall, with its new interior and stucco façade, gave the building a truly grand appearance.

The new look lockup, then did not appear out of character, no longer being dwarfed by the adjoining building. The Market Square area became a source of considerable civic pride. Bendigo Easter Fair 1901 was the time when the accompanying photograph by Ninnis was taken. The view was captured from the balcony of the Metropolitan Hotel on the corner of Bull and Hargreaves streets, on the left is the municipal lock up, behind and in the centre, the Sandhurst Hotel on the corner of Lyttleton Terrace and St Andrew’s Avenue. On the right of this shot are carriages under the elm trees adjacent to the eastern side of the town hall.

T’S always a sign of life whenever a new bookish shop opens – such a relief from the usual depressing reports of yet another literary demise. Alice & Co in Kyneton’s High Street has relocated from Fitzroy and the shop is probably best described as a studio gallery with an emphasis on encouraging creative activities to grow within its precinct In the workshop upstairs Cassis Lumb (pictured above) transforms old book illustrations into handmade cards, ready to hang prints and postcard packs. She sources reproductions from a golden literary age when pictures and illustrators were revered – from the time back when Alice in Wonderland first came into being. Busy at work in the room next door is Dr Christine Mathieu, an author, academic and anthropologist who runs Littlefox publishing. Other activities will include book launches, readings, concerts, and exhibitions. They will also offer seminars, group classes and individual tuition in the humanities, social sciences, languages, sciences and mathematics. Littlefox publications, prints and postcards are also for sale.

HOWING great initiative, local published authors, Brett Crandell, David Marks, Danny Willis and Geoff Brown, along with at least eight other authors, will have their titles on display at Oz Authors debut pop-up store. A variety of genres will be available including children’s books, fantasy, paranormal/horror, romance and anthology collections. Oz Authors pop-up store is a local Bendigo business venture designed to increase awareness and promote Australian independent authors. Using a variety of publishing forums, the writers feel that there are other ways to get your stories to the public other than through the big publishing houses. In addition to its pop-up bookstores, Oz Authors is also a small press, publishing books on behalf of talented Australian authors. The pop-up store will be at the Bendigo Marketplace from Monday, August 3 to Sunday, August 9 inclusive.

Alice & Co. is at 7 High Street, Kyneton and online at www. aliceonhighstreet.com

Action far and wide By NICK ATYEO

NE hundred and fourteen anglers contested Round 4 of the Central Vic Lure Caster’s Super Series in late May with on the Murray River above Torrumbarry. Overall 25 fish were landed including 14 Murray cod, 10 golden perch and one carp. Overall first place went to Craig Hartnett with two Murray cod including the largest target species with a 85 centimetre fish. Second place went to Simon Bourke for his three fish tally of a Murray cod, golden perch and a carp. This was closely followed by Justin Rees with two golden perch. Round 5 will be held at the Loddon River from the Bridgewater Public Caravan Park on Saturday, July 18 before the final round of the season at Lake Mulwala in late August. For more information visit www. cvlcss.com or see their facebook page for further details. Sixteen members of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club fished the Glenelg River in southwest Victoria in early June for mixed results. As mentioned last month, finesse

was the secret to getting some action fishing two to three kilogram line with a 50 to 70 millimetre plastic on a extremely light jig head (two grams or less), retrieved along the drop-offs and just above the bottom. Overall only nine bream and 12 estuary perch troubled the club statistician. Tim Ripper landed the largest bream with a 35-centimetre specimen, while Steve Bray registered the largest estuary perch at 37cm. Best bag for the weekend went to Wayne Symons fishing from his kayak. Waranga Basin, south west of Tatura provided rod buckling action to one lucky Bendigo Angler, with Jayden Rice landing a golden perch of biblical proportions, estimated to be in excess of nine kilograms. Jayden’s perch fish took a liking to a Feralcatt lure that had also been providing irresistible to the resident redfin around the three to four metre mark. Several other Bendigo Anglers have been enjoying consistent catches of redfin from Waranga while others have returned home disappointed. Peter Wyatt was certainly not

disappointed recently when he returned home with a plump 54cm Murray cod from Cairn Curran trolled up in three metres of water, adding some excitement to an otherwise uneventful trip. Also seeing some cod action even closer to home, was Dayne Tracey who unsuccessfully trolled Eppalock for hours in search of some tasty redfin. A change of tactics, jiggling a jackal next to a favourite snag resulted in five cod between 37 and 52cm in quick succession. Closer to home ready-to-catch rainbow trout were stocked into Forest Lake, Tom Thumb Lake and Kennington Reservoir before the school holidays. The advanced yearling rainbow trout are suitable to be caught immediately. Anglers are reminded that a daily bag limit of five trout applies, of which only two can exceed 35cm. Fish stocking is funded by Victorian fishing licence fees and the State Government.

A A brighter future.

More help for native species T

HE North Central Catchment Management Authority and VR Fish are working together to increase the region’s native fish population. NCCMA’s David Clark and VR Fish’s Russell Conway recently signed a memorandum of understanding in regards to the Native Fish Recovery Plan for the Gunbower and lower Loddon systems recently. “The growth of native fish populations will support increased recreational fishing and eco-tourism with associated benefits to the regional economy,” Mr Clark said. “There is also potential to develop a world-class trophy fishery for large Murray cod in the Cohuna/Kerang region.” The NCCMA and VR Fish will be collaborating on research, promoting sustainable and responsible fishing practices and raising awareness of relevant issues through community engagement and the media. “The plan develops approaches to using infrastructure such as fishways, screens, irrigation channels and habitat rehabilitation such as snags and riparian revegetation to assist in building the numbers and resilience of native fish populations,” Mr Conway said.

T the end of June the Goldfields Shield Fly Fishing competition was held at Lake Fyans near the Grampians. It was the 17th annual tournament between the Ballarat and Bendigo Fly Fishing Clubs and for the first time since 2011 saw the return of the shield to Bendigo. Weather conditions appeared to be ideal for the weekend and there was no small amount of anticipation for some good catches. Lake Fyans can produce some very big browns and rainbows, but that doesn’t mean that the fishing is easy; quite the contrary for that weekend. For their own mysterious

reasons the trout seemed to have their minds on things other than food, and consequently there were very few caught. In fact there were only three fish weighed in for the entire competition. On Saturday afternoon Bendigo’s Jeff Willey hooked into a big fish from the dam wall but was dragged into a snag and broken-off. Not long after Jeff was into another one and I had the pleasure of watching the ensuing battle. Determined to make up for the previous loss, Jeff played the fish perfectly, keeping it under control and out of snags, tiring it expertly before guiding it into his net. The beautiful brown weighed in at 2.08 kilograms and was the winning fish for

the competition. Bendigo’s Tony Jacobs weighed in another brown at 1.31kg and Ballarat’s David Bandy caught the only other fish weighed in; also a brown and a very respectable 1.88kg. Last week the Bendigo and District Fly Fishing Club confirmed that they would again be hosting the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival on September 1 at the Star Cinema in Eaglehawk. If you are interested in fly fishing or angling in general this is a night not to be missed, featuring some of the world’s best fly fishing films. We hosted a big crowd last year so buy your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be bought through the Bendigo and District Fly Fishing Club website

or FaceBook page. Adults $20 Children $15. Check out the preview of the Rise Fly Fishing Film Festival on the Bendigo and District Fly Fishers FaceBook page. If you’re interested in learning more about fly fishing check out the club website at www.bdffc.weebly.com or find us on FaceBook.

National Diabetes Week July 12 to 18, 2015

Are you a diabetes risk?

SIMPLE questionnaire can reveal your diabetes risk. Bendigo Community Health Services is urging the community to think seriously about a condition diagnosed in 280 Australians every day. BCHS offers services to the community who are at risk of developing diabetes and work to assist people in self-managing the condition. BCHS senior manager prevention and population health Kaye Graves said addressing lifestyle risk factors was the key to diabetes prevention. ‘‘Some of these risk factors cannot be changed, such as your age, gender or ethnicity, but you can change other risk factors related to your lifestyle such as being overweight, lack of physical activity, having an unhealthy diet, smoking, high blood

cholesterol, high blood pressure and stress,’’ she said. BCHS staff use a questionnaire to determine and understand the diabetes risk for clients. ‘‘If it is found you are at risk, you can join a Life program that has been provided across Victoria for over 55,000 people. This program is provided by trained diabetes prevention staff,’’ she said. ‘‘BCHS senior manager of integrated health care Susan Kennett has a dedicated Chronic Disease Management team consisting of diabetes educators, podiatrists and a dietician to provide the education and support needed to manage your diabetes.’’ Call BCHS on 5434 4300 to learn more about diabetes management and prevention.

YPE 1 Diabetes occurs when your immune system destroys the cells in your pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin injections are then used to control blood glucose levels as without insulin the blood cells are starved of the vital fuel needed to survive. St John of God’s diabetes educator Deirdre Thorn says type 1 diabetes affects 10 to 15 per cent of people with diabetes. “Balancing diet, exercise and insulin injections can be very difficult to control and made more complicated by the challenges of everyday life,” Deirdre said. People suffering from type 1 diabetes are at greater risk of acute issues relating to high blood glucose levels, some life threatening, as well as chronic complications, such as heart attack, stroke and blindness. “This is why it is essential for optimal

control of blood sugar levels. “However this can be difficult, as in some cases, suffers require four to eight injections a day.” Recent advancements in technology can allows people with type 1 diabetes to wear pager sized insulin pump discreetly on their body, with many technological features assisting in accurate diabetes management. Wearers require one injection every three days rather than multiple injections daily. “Pump therapy may not be for everyone but it is well worth considering,” Deirdre said. To coincide with National Diabetes Week a free insulin pump information session will be held at St John of God Bendigo Hospital next Thursday at 5pm. Phone 5434 3167 to secure your seat and find out more.

HE team at Bendigo Animal Hospital say they often have pet owners concerned that their animal is a bit stiff, or slowing down, or spending more time sleeping. People often think it’s a sign their pets are simply getting older. However, these are common symptoms of one of the most prevalent diseases in older cats and dogs – arthritis. When treatment begins, pet owners are often surprised at the positive difference it makes to their animal’s quality of life. Signs of arthritis include difficulty rising, stiff gait, less interest in play and an unwillingness to jump on furniture such as a bed or sofa. Other symptoms are limping as well as a general reluctance to move around. As with many illnesses, the key to successful management is early detection and intervention. The team at Bendigo Animal Hospital is here to help you to alleviate the pain and discomfort of arthritis in your pets. There are a number of treatments available for arthritic animals, ranging from simple lifestyle changes to arthritis supplements and even various medications. Bendigo Animal Hospital is currently offering in-clinic discounts on a number

HE team at bUTE Trays and Accesssories have manufactured thousands of custombuilt steel trays for utilities and commercial vehicles since 2011. Today you’ll find bUTE trays throughout Victoria and even interstate. A custom-designed and manufactured bUTE tray is fully welded for extra strength, incorporating a mandrel bent hurdle and choice of rear window protection. “Don’t settle for a good tray, demand a bUTE tray,” bUTE founder and manager Colin Hofton said, while explaining he and his staff can usually fabricate a fully customised steel tray in about three weeks from placement of order. “Unlike many other steel trays that arrive as flat packs and are bolted together, all our trays are fully welded for additional strength and longevity,” Colin said.

“Our trays are all custom built to what the customer needs, not what is in stock.” bUTE Trays and Accessories have a large range of options available including toolboxes and racks. They can also incorporate a tipper unit and under-tray drawers if needed. bUTE Trays can also modify and alter your existing tray or custom build a tray to your satisfaction as well as offering a sandblasting and powder-coating service. All bUTE trays are sandblasted, primed and powder-coated in a range of colours before being fitted. So when the time comes for that new tray, call in and see Colin or Damien, at bUTE Trays and Accessories,19 to 21 Allen Street, Epsom, phone 5448 8285. www.butetrays.com

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. Phone Rod on 0439 132 021 for an obligation free on-site quote or email denfieldblinds@gmail.com.

Are you a best practice money manager? VERY financial situation is unique, so what makes one strategy better than another? Take a moment to consider your personal financial situation. How hard is your existing wealth working for you to generate greater returns in the future? If you are in business, your organisation would have its strengths, but are they best practice? Perhaps your products are exceptional, your sales team superb and your revenue strong. Or is your business the one with passionate, dedicated staff who run the most efficient back-office in town? Whatever your business does well, there are opportunities to leverage those strengths and become a best practice business, generating more cash flow and better profitability for your business and yourself. As experts in accounting, business advisory, private wealth, audit and IT, MGR has been helping motivated individuals become best practice money managers for decades.

Maxie

Heeler X

Maxie is a very sad little guy at the moment he is missing being a part of the family. He is a loyal and loving companion and he is best suited to a family with teenagers as once he is feeling himself can be quite boisterous. He will need a big secure yard to keep him safe, and daily walks to keep him in shape

Spayed Male, 9 Months

Chestnut is a gorgeous young man who has an awesome personality. He has some spunk to him and loves other cats. Chestnut loves lots of cuddles and loves to play with balls and cat toys. Come in and meet him, your sure to fall in love.

Calivil marks 125 years By JOEL PETERSON

CALIVIL United Football Netball Club is gearing up for one of the biggest weekends in its history, when the club celebrates its 125th anniversary next Saturday. The Loddon Valley Football league side has been extremely successful over the journey, and will take on arch rivals Mitiamo in what looms as a critical clash for its 2015 finals chances next weekend at Five Star Stockfeeds Oval. The weekend will be about much more than ther club’s fortunes in 2015 though, with a hugely successful heritage to be celebrated. The Calivil Football Club was formed in 1890, with the first league formed between Calivil, Macorna, Mitiamo and Pyramid Hill in 1982. The netball side of the club was formed in 1954 in what was then known as the Mitiamo Basketball League. The Redlegs have a rich history of success, collecting at least 29 senior flags in the 125 years – an average of almost one every five years – including six in a row between 2003 and 2008

CELEBRATING HISTORY: The 1913 Calivil premiership team. and a further three premiership trifectas. Premiership success came as recently as last year for the club, taking out the flag in the last year of under-17 football in the LVFL, as well as tasting A-grade netball success. A huge day is planned on July 18, with supporters, players and officials past and present invited to attend the game and celebrate the club’s proud history. Owen Curnow, a past Calivil player and member of the organising

committee, said there is a definite buzz around the community. “The committee have put a lot of hours in to ensure that this milestone event is surely one to remember; with people coming from far and wide to join us,” he said. “We will have an official welcome and book launch at 2pm by the Victorian National Party leader Peter Walsh, who in actual fact is a past Calivil footballer. “We hope that our footballers and netballers do us proud and

take the wins against our old arch rival in the Mitiamo Football Netball Club.” The club is also hosting a gala dinner at Eaglehawk’s Truscott Stadium next Saturday night, at which the side’s heritage jumpers will be auctioned off. Comedian Andrew Startin will MC the event, at which the committee expects huge numbers of people will be in attendance. “We are really excited to have received in excess of 450 Calivil con-

nected people attending our gala dinner in the evening, reminiscing together and enjoying dinner and a few quiet drinks,” Curnow said. “We are quite fortunate to have the live broadcast of both the seniors reserves games on the day by 101.5 Fresh FM’s commentary team.” One of the major parts of the day will involve the seniors and reserves wearing heritage jumpers that will be auctioned off, as well as sales of the club’s book The Red and Blues, written by Darren Lewis. “We also can’t wait to see the Calivil United seniors and reserves donning a ‘one-off’ 125 year heritage styled jumper,” he said. “All of these jumpers will in fact be auctioned off during the day evening’s events, which is a great opportunity to take home a historic collector’s item.” The committee has organised a bus to Calivil, leaving the QEO at 11.30am on the day before a pickup at the Eaglehawk Town Hall, for $10 per ticket. For more information about the day contact Owen Curnow on 0419 323 290.

Gala time for footy From Page 44 AFL Victoria Community Football and Engagement manager Brett Connell said he was looking forward to seeing the carnival take place at such an iconic community venue. “It’s really pleasing that City of Greater Bendigo has made the QEO available for the event which has become a highlight on the football calendar,” he said. “These representative matches offer the best community footballers from across country Victoria and the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s many divisions a chance to test themselves at a higher level and return their local clubs to share their experience.”

Rugby Sevens joins city’s sport line up By JOEL PETERSON

ANOTHER major sporting event is heading our way with Victoria’s largest ever rugby sevens tournament to be held at Epsom Huntly Reserve. The Goldfields Sevens rugby tournament will be held in Bendigo on October 24 and 25, with the Melbourne Rebels, City of Greater Bendigo and Bendigo Fighting Miners Rugby Union Club all throwing in their support. The tournament will see more than 30 Australian and international teams compete in a range of competition levels from under-12s to senior men’s and women’s. Rugby sevens was recently announced as the newest sport to be added to the 2016 Olympic Games fixture, with interest in the sport growing rapidly in Australia and around the World. Melbourne Rebels’ Game Development and Elite Sevens manager Tyronne Mitchell said the club is excited to be bring-

ing the growing sport to regional Victoria. “We’ve noticed such a huge demand in Victorians wanting to learn about and play Sevens since the Olympic announcement, so I’m really thrilled to be working with the City of Greater Bendigo and the local rugby club, the Bendigo Fighting Miners, to bring this tournament to the area,” he said. “This is going to be Victoria’s largest ever Rugby Sevens tournament, with teams from Victoria, South Australia, the ACT and around the world set to compete.” “I’d really encourage Bendigo locals with an interest in rugby, or simply a love of sport to come down to watch the tournament. Rugby Sevens is a really fast, exciting game and it’s awesome to watch. “We’re also looking for support from local businesses, with sponsorship and partnership opportunities available for this wonderful event with national reach.”

Snooker set for a return OFFICIALS are in talks to bring the Goldfields Open back to Bendigo in 2016 after another successful event at Bendigo Stadium. The event’s current deal with the City of Greater Bendigo and Bendigo Stadium expired after this year’s open finished on Sunday. John Higgins won the 27th ranking title of his career on Sunday, beating Martin Gould 9-8 in a tense final at Bendigo Stadium. Gould, who had been seeking his first ranking title, fought back from 7-5 and 8-7 down to even the ledger at 8-8, but a superb break of 89 from Higgins

proved to be the decisive factor in the last frame. It marked the perfect start to the season for the 40-year-old Scot who took the $75,000 top prize in the first tournament of his 2015-16 campaign. Victory brings Higgins’ career wins tally level with Ronnie O’Sullivan and just one behind Steve Davis, though still nine short of Stephen Hendry’s record 36 ranking crowns. “It was one of the best finals I’ve ever been involved in,” Higgins said. “Credit to Martin because it was a brilliant match, I’m sure he’ll start

KEEN EYE: Joe Perry in action. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN winning tournaments now. The crowds have been fantastic all week and the players really appreciate that. “I wasn’t feeling any nerves at the end. I missed the chance to win 9-7 and he made a great break for 8-8. It was anyone’s game and I managed to hold myself together in the last frame, so I’m delighted.”

Gould was philosophical in defeat. “I can’t say I’m not gutted, but I’ll be back again. It was a high quality match today with a lot of big breaks,” “The support I have had here has been unbelievable. Hopefully they won’t get too upset when we beat them in the cricket.”

Dyson Daniels deals up a double From Page 44 DYSON was recently named in the School Sports Victoria teams for both football and basketball. After the football state finals in Geelong from July 18-25, the 12-year-old will compete at the Australia Pacific School Games Basketball Championships in Adelaide from November 21-28. The Camp Hill Primary School student has travelled to Melbourne twice a week for training, and is raring to go. “It’s really exciting, I’m

looking forward to them both,” he said this week. “I play point guard in basketball and midfield in footy, but in the practice matches I have been playing in the backline and that’s fun. “I don’t mind where I play too much.” The Golden Square junior has two brothers to practice with, along with his dad, so finding time to hone his skills isn’t an issue. The problem is finding someone that can beat him, according to a very confident Dyson. “I beat Dad all the time

in basketball, he never beats me,” he said. “He feels pretty bad about it. I beat my brothers all the time too. But I like playing against them, they all help me get better.” Although he said he prefers basketball to football, he doesn’t plan to give either up any time soon. “I want to play in the NBA, my favourite players are Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving,” he said. “I go for Richmond in the AFL, and my favourite payers are Trent Cotchin and Brandon Ellis... but really any of

the Richmond players. “I’d really like to play for the Pioneers in footy, but if not I want to play here at Square. I really like it here.” Dyson plays up an age group for the ladder leading Golden Square under-14 seniors, who play secondplaced Strathfieldsaye after the school holidays in a game Dyson is looking forward to. As for his ambitions this year, he maintains he isn’t asking for too much when he says two gold medals and a premiership are on the cards. “Winning the gold medal in basketball, winning the

Christmas.” Time will tell whether any of those come to fruition, but there is little doubt Dyson has the talent to make it happen.

Gala time for footy

By JOEL PETERSON

COUNTRY Victoria’s best footballers will take their skills to the Queen Elizabeth Oval on Saturday when AFL Victoria Country takes on the Victorian Amateurs for the bi-annual Brian Molony Cup. Vic Country will take on the VAFA in three matches – with under19s kicking the gala day off from 10.15am, before the Vic Country 2 side battles the VAFA (Premier B – Division four) from 1.10pm. Vic Country’s best then finish the day off in a twilight clash against the best of the “Ammos” from 4.05pm. The Brian Molony Cup celebrates the contribution of Molony, a former director and life member of the former Victorian Country Football League, now known as AFL Victoria Country. Colbinabbin full forward Grant Weeks is the squad’s vice-captain, with his ex-Golden Square teammate and Vic Country regular Jack Geary named as an emergency.

Former South Bendigo and Bendigo Gold livewire Steven Stroobants, currently playing for Rochester, will also be back on the QEO turf for Vic Country. Weeks, arguably the best player in country football, is the only player in the Vic Country one side named that does not play in one of the state’s top-10 ranked leagues. Colbinabbin’s Lochlan Sirett has been named as an emergency for the Vic Country two side, while Donald coach

saye Storm defender and Bendigo interleague representative Harry Conway and Eaglewhawk duo Josh and Lachlan Ryan all picked. Fisher’s NCFL interleague teammate Dale Hinkley (BirchipWatchem) was also picked in the U19 squad. Interleague football between the two organisations dates back to 1984, and the last two games have been decided by less than a goal. “The (AFL Central Victoria) commission

The last two games have been decided by less than a goal and North Central FL interleague representative Luke Fisher and Leitchville-Gunbower’s Jye Keath both made the cut. John Cossar will coach the Vic Country two side, primarily made up of players from the state’s “district” leagues. Three BFL young guns made the Damian Sexton-coached under-19 squad, with Strathfield-

set a goal to attract quality football games to our region in 2015,” AFLCV region general manager Paul Hamilton said. “The opportunity to see the best country players in the state play against the VAFA is one that will be exciting for the region. We thank the City of Greater Bendigo for their support in this event.”

Dyson’s double act IT is evident to even the casual observer that sporting ability runs in the bloodlines of the Daniels family. Ricky is a Bendigo Braves legend, and his son Dyson excels in basketball, like his famous father. However, Dyson has another string to his bow – he is a gun footballer as well. – Continued Page 43
