’ ROBYN S GIFT Organ donation offers hope to others

By PETER KENNEDY

LAST year, the organs of 378 donors provided hope, opportunity and the chance at a better life for 1117 seriously ill Australians. Last month, Bendigo woman Robyn Miles became an organ and tissue donor. An aneurysm followed by two devastating strokes had left the 62-year-old gravely ill, and with next to no chance of a reasonable recovery. Robyn and husband Trevor had often talked about mortality and quality of life, and so when

They treat it seriously, and they treat it well, and very respectfully

the tight-knit Bendigo family was faced with one of the most difficult and gut wrenching decisions any family could face, Trevor says they knew what Robyn would have wanted. “It was highly likely Robyn was going to die regardless of what we did,” he said. “It was clear that things were crook, and the operations we had were to try and work out what sort of recovery she could make, but at least 24 hours before she died it was clear. “Then it was a very easy decision to make her comfortable and to participate actively and support the organ donation process.”

Robyn believed that the body is but a vessel for one’s soul, and Trevor says his wife, who he describes as a spiritual but not religious person, had helped him understand her view of life. And it was because of those earlier and important conversations that Trevor and his family were able to make a very difficult decision with the knowledge that in doing so, they were doing what Robyn would have wanted. “Out of that we had a view that once you are dead, once your spirit is gone, really your body can be used by anybody,” he said. Once neurologists at the Royal Melbourne hospital informed the family that Robyn was not going to make a reasonable recovery – and that at best she faced a very slim chance of perhaps being wheelchair bound, not able to read, speak or relate to others – the decision was not so difficult as it could have otherwise have been. “I thought that would be a living hell for Robyn,” Trevor said. Full of praise for the DonateLife team who assisted himself along with daughter Liz and sons David and Jake, Trevor says the organisation was incredibly professional and organised as well as very supportive and clear. “It’s not an easy process, and it’s not confronting, but I use the word salutary,” he said. “The organ donation people were fantastic in terms of attending to us, and in terms of making it clear that I as next of kin would have the final say and at any stage I could pull the pin.” “It’s a very serious process, they treat it seriously, and they treat it well, and very respectfully.”

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 24, 2015

AN eight-day hearing into a planning scheme amendment to allow for the implementation of the Greater Bendigo Residential Strategy began this week. The hearings are being conducted by an independent panel appointed by the planning minister, with 67 submissions to be considered, including 27 in support of the amendment, 30 seeking changes and 10 objections. The residential strategy seeks to create a framework to guide the residential growth of the municipality to 2040 and beyond and was adopted by the council in October 2014. It promotes infill development and retention of the existing urban growth boundary. In its submission to the hearings, the City of Greater Bendigo argues against urban sprawl and calls for a compact Bendigo that makes better use of land already zoned for residential purposes and promotes development in the municipality’s small towns. The strategy introduces the idea of a “10-minute neighbourhood”, where residents can access most of their daily needs such as employment, shops and schools. THE Real Estate Institute of Australia says the June 2015 quarter CPI figures confirm the Reserve

Bank of Australia’s assessment that inflationary pressures are well contained and likely to remain so. In other words, this should translate into a sustained period of low interest rates and is good news for home owners REIA president Neville Sanders said the CPI rose by 0.7 per cent in the June quarter, and at an annual rate of 1.5 per cent. “These figures are below the RBA’s target zone of 2-3 per cent and should not put pressure on the interest rate outlook,” Mr Sanders said. “With inflation under control combined with a slowdown in housing finance, it’s reasonable to expect that the RBA Board will not be increasing interest rates in the medium term, providing a stable outlook for home buyers.” THE Housing Industry Association has warned lifting the GST on new housing would add tens of thousands of dollars to new home prices, crushing the home ownership dream for many Australians. “New housing is already weighed down by the burden of tax,” HIA’s Graham Wolfe, said. “It is usually seen as an easy cash grab by governments.” Mr Wolfe said adding another five per cent, or more, on top of the price of a new home will put

HIGHLIGHT: The future of the city is being reviewed. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN housing out of reach of many people that are trying desperately to get into the market. “If an increase in GST is seen as the remedy for government’s collective funding shortfall, then the simple answer is to exclude housing from any future increase,” he said. GST currently applies to new housing but not existing homes, which is creating a price discrepancy between the two. Mr Wolfe says Australia needs more housing stock to accommodate our growing and aging population. “Increasing the burden on home buyers should be a no-go area for governments if they are really concerned about housing affordability,” he said. Public Transport and Employment minister Jacinta Allan will

discuss the growth and development of Bendigo and the importance public transport plays in employment and a community’s successful growth at a key event to be held at the Bendigo Town Hall on Friday, August 7. The Urban Development Institute of Australia luncheon will also feature Professor Ross Garnaut. Professor Garnaut will look at broad opportunities for Bendigo and discuss deliverable sustainable technologies and how they can improve living environments in the world of climate change. The UDIA’s Victorian northern chapter is hosting the event, with tickets available at $110 (members) and $125.

Disadvantage in spotlight Report shows black spots of those in need tage is experienced by a small number of communities in each state and territory across Australia and that such disadvantage has been persistent over time. Maryborough, Korong Vale, Heathcote, Eaglehawk and Comet Hill have been identified as being among the most disadvantaged communities included in the report. Across Victoria, 11 postcodes (1.6 per cent of total) account for 13.7 per cent of the most disadvantaged rank positions. Dominant factors include unemployment, criminal convictions, disability, low education, child maltreatment, family violence

and psychiatric admissions. Previous reports have been undertaken in Victoria and NSW in 1999 and 2004 by Jesuit Social Services, and nationally in 2007 in part-

“

A major report into disadvantage in communities across Australia has highlighted several central and northern Victorian postcodes as among those most in need of assistance. The Dropping off the Edge 2015 report (DoTE2015), which was produced by Catholic Social Services Australia and Jesuit Social Services. CatholicCare Sandhurst executive director Peter Richardson has supported recommendations within the report and hope that governments at all levels will work towards adopting a new approach targeted at reducing the most severe deep-seated disadvantage. The report shows clearly that complex and entrenched disadvan-

low levels of income and education, housing stress, high incidence of family violence and criminal offending are consistently present in these communities – all coming together to limit life opportunities over

generations and accruing social and economic costs to the broader community. Local communities are not failing – Australia is failing these communities. It is believed that to be effective, responses should involve the cooperation between government and departmental portfolios, integrated community initiatives and coordination between different levels of government. “There are a number of local initiatives that are working well in addressing this issue, for example Loddon Connect and Go Goldfields – both seeing sustainable and positive outcomes by the people they are working alongside, but more is needed,” Mr Richardson said.

A memoir of shy times

BOOKED OUT: Dennis O’Hoy with An Angel by the Water. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Essays to honour Dennis HISTORIANS of Bendigo have a golden opportunity to learn more, with the launch of a new book An Angel by the Water. It’s a collection of essays in honour of Dennis O’Hoy, and covers gold mining, Australian and international potters and pottery, tertiary education, Bendigo tramways, collectors of British, Chinese and Asian ceramics, archaeology, pharmacies, architecture, early Australian photography, AustralianChinese history, the Bendigo Trust and its evolution. The book was launched last week by Federation University professor of Australian History Keir Reeves, who said the book

marks an important milestone for Mr O’Hoy. “It also provides an important chapter in the social and cultural history of Bendigo,” he said The book includes a potted account of Mr O’Hoy’s time with the Bendigo Tramways, Peter Mulqueen’s memories of Bridge Street and the origins and early years of the Bendigo Trust by Daryl McClure and Tom Seddon. David Yum has written about the Dai Gum San Project and overseas Chinese ceramics in 19th century Australia includes details of the O’Hoy collection.

Leigh McKinnon has written of the politics in the origins of Bendigo’s Easter Chinese Parade and Joss Houses of colonial Bendigo and Victoria are included. Topics also include the development of the Sukhothai ceramic kilns, ceramics courses in Bendigo and many more stories important to the history of Bendigo. An Angel by the Water is 384 pages colour throughout and is priced at $59.95 plus postage and handling. Available from the Central Deborah Gold Mine and Bendigo Book Mark, 24 High Street.

Musician, broadcaster, journalist and teacher Sian Prior has hit the road. After spending the past four years working on her memoir Shy, and turning 50, she has given herself three months long service leave and with the aid of a campervan she’s currently a free-agent. The memoir, written while she was doing a PhD in creative writing, took a lot of emotional energy from her. “My research triggered memories in me which were quite hard to confront,” she said. As the title suggests, Prior used her personal narrative as a way of examining something which has plagued her all her life. The theme of shyness runs through her book like a cold, deep current of water. It impeded her socially as well as professionally. As a young girl it was agony for her to initiate friendships and as an adult performer, whether broadcasting, singing or playing the clarinet she would be socially anxious. “You feel like an imposter, that you’re going to be caught out at any time,” she said. As well there are physical symptoms of social anxiety. “I have often suffered from gut problems and research has shown that shy people suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. There is well recognised connection between the brain and the gut,” she said. An extremely articulate and attractive woman, her shyness was rarely recognised by her friends who were often surprised when she told them about how much she suffered from shyness. It is a condition which has cost her a lot in life. “It has meant a lifetime of lost opportunities on both a personal and profes-

sional level,” she said. Prior spent the first 12 months writing her book, researching and seeking expert opinions on the subject and came to the conclusion that shyness is a temperamental trait. “Shyness can be seen on a spectrum in life. You can go from being shy or being an extrovert. And in my case I have just had to fight through it,” she said. “A lot of performers will tell you that they are shy. Sometimes musicians will hide behind their instruments, and that might be a good strategy for them.” Her memoir covers the tragic loss of her musician father who was drowned while trying to rescue two of his friends. At the time Prior was in her mother’s arms while her mother watched the tragedy unfold from the beach. And the memoir ends with another episode of loss. She talks about the impact of her relationship with musician Paul Kelly whom she was with for 10 years. Sian Prior will be at the Bendigo Writers Festival on Friday, August 7 1-4pm and Sunday 12.30pm. For further information go to Bendigowritersfestival.com.au – Dianne Dempsey

Ned nude not rude

Local artist and teacher Amber Sansom contacted the Weekly last Monday in high dudgeon. Ms Sansom was indignant and her message loud and clear. There was blatant censorship at work within the art department at La Trobe University. As well as contacting the Weekly Ms Samson took to the airwaves and facebook where she said “I submitted three works to an exhibition which is specifically for local art teachers. Two of these works were of female nudes and the third painting was a large oil of a nude Ned Kelly image. “The male nude was officially taken down from the La Trobe Phyllis Palmer Gallery this week because the work was too controversial. Where do double standards and censorship belong in a university gallery space? “Despite the lecturer and assistant saying they liked the work and it was a very good work, two fellow secondary teachers thought a male

nude was inappropriate because students would see it. The other excuse provided was that the eyes were painted so well you could see who the model was despite Ned Kelly wearing his helmet.” The curator of the exhibition, lecturer in charge of painting and drawing, Steve Turpie rejected Ms Sansom’s claims as completely unfounded. “I did hear rumblings about censorship but it’s just nonsense. At no point did I say that all of the paintings would be in the show. We placed the paintings around the gallery on the floor so I could have a look at them. Amber at that point has gone off somewhere, come back and misconstrued the situation,” he said. Mr Turpie said he chose two of her three pictures on merit and the decision to reject the Ned Kelly nude was a curatorial one. “I studied all the submissions very carefully. We teach life drawing here for heaven’s sake, as if I would reject a painting on the grounds that

Capital trip to seek pool cash CITY of Greater Bendigo chief executive officer Craig Niemann and City Futures director Stan Liacos, flew to Canberra yesterday to put the city’s case for federal funding of the Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre. The pair met with senior advisers to Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss and senior representatives of the Department of Regional Development. The city is seeking $4.885 million towards the landmark $31m project. A visit to Canberra last year helped secure $5m for the major expansion of Bendigo Airport, after the delegation led by former mayor Barry Lyons was told the airport project provided a better chance at gaining federal funding from the highly competitive National Stronger Regions Fund. Mr Niemann said it was great to have a direct relationship with the people advising the deputy Prime Minister, and to talk about the city’s previous National Stronger Regions Fund application in support of the Bendigo Airport, which won such high acclaim from government and department officials.

“We have a strong track record, but that doesn’t mean we will get funding,” he said, acknowledging the expected highly competititve nature of the NSRF grant process. Applications to the NSRF close on July 31, with an announcement on successful

“That doesn’t mean we will get funding” projects not expected for a further 3-4 months. Pre-planning and design work on the proposed Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre will continue throughout this period. The Victorian government has already allocated up to $15m in matching funding to the Kangaroo Flat project, while the Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise has pledged to raise $1m towards the proposed centre. Mr Niemann said council staff would also meet in the near future with federal government representative senators for the Bendigo region, Liberal Senator Michael Ronaldson and Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie.

“We will also continue to seek the assistance of Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters MP,” he said. The 51.5m eight-lane swimming pool, inclusive of 1.5m movable pool boom divider, will be accessible year round, and includes an indoor splash play area, learn to swim pool, hydrotherapy pool, wellness centre, spa and sauna, gymnasium, multipurpose rooms and a café. The City of Greater Bendigo expects the centre will attract about 420,000 visitors annually. – Peter Kennedy

“I don’t know where she has got this idea from that the painting had to be taken down. It was never officially accepted in the first place.”

DONATE LIFE

It’s time to talk about donation

By PETER KENNEDY

CENTRAL Victorians have been urged to talk to one another about organ and tissue donation, ahead of DonateLife Week. Running from August 2-9, DonateLife Week is the national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation in Australia. This year’s theme is “have the chat that saves lives” with Australians being urged to register their organ and tissue donation decision on the Australian Organ Donor Register and to share that decision with their loved ones. Bendigo resident Trevor Miles, a well known and extremely popu-

A better life for others From Page 1 On Wednesday, June 17, Robyn passed away, and as a team of surgeons then set about harvesting the organs that would offer so much hope to so many others. Mary Frye’s iconic yet simple 12-line poem “Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep” was recited as a final gesture of both acknowledgement and respect. A couple of weeks later, Frye’s poem was again read aloud as part of a very moving memorial service attended by hundreds of mourners here in Bendigo. Holding a letter from DonateLife in his hands that describes the difference Robyn’s donated organs have already made to

people he will never know, Trevor struggles to articulate just how it feels knowing that his wife’s final gift means that there are now four people living a better life.

It is a positive thing… But I’d still rather Robyn was here “It’s not silver lining, it is a positive thing… but I’d still rather Robyn was here,” he said. Robyn’s lungs have giv-

en a middle aged women an enhanced life with her husband, children and grandchildren – with a very good prognosis. One of Robyn’s kidneys is helping a young man who no longer needs dialysis. The other kidney is with another man with a family. He too has been spared further dialysis. Her liver is helping a woman who has been acutely unwell and she is making a steady recovery, an outcome Trevor says is “just sensational”. The letter also states that many more recipients will receive a life changing tissue transplant in the future. “But Robyn’s spirit is with us,” Trevor said.

lar member of Bendigo’s burgeoning cycling community, encourages local residents to talk to their loved ones about organ donation. “ You have to talk about life and what it means.. Are you looking after yourself? Do you look after your body?” he said. “ But if your quality of life finishes, is it possible for someone else to be able to take advantage of the fact you have looked after yourself and the fact you’re in reasonable nick.” Organ and Tissue Authority CEO Yael Cass said families that know each other’s decisions are more likely to uphold them. “It is rare for a family to de-

cline the opportunity for donation if they know their loved one was willing to become a donor,” Ms Cass said. To help start the conversation during DonateLife Week, Australians will be asked “if you would say yes to receiving a life-saving transplant, have you said yes to becoming an organ and tissue donor?” More than 1600 people are on organ transplant waiting lists at any one time. With one organ and tissue donor able to transform the lives of 10 or more Australians, a conversation about donation today could one day save the lives of many.

deceased before donation can proceed.

• Australia is a world leader for successful transplant outcomes.

• The majority of Australians (76 per cent) are generally willing to become organ and tissue donors.

• Around 1500 people are on Australian organ transplant waiting lists at any one time.

• More than 60 per cent of families give consent for organ and tissue donation to proceed.

• The majority of Australians (77 per cent) recognise it is important to discuss their donation decision with the people close to them.

• In 2014, 1117 Australians received an organ transplant as a result of the generosity of 378 organ donors whose families agreed to donation at the time of their loved one’s death.

• 49 per cent of Australians do not know or are not sure of the donation decision of their loved ones.

• The majority of Australians (69 per cent) have now discussed their donation decision with their family.

Fountain fund nears half way

ARCHITECT William Vahland’s memory will be perpetuated with the restoration of a drinking fountain. On the 100th anniversary since his death, mayor Peter Cox said $120,000 has already been raised to help restore a 19th Century Vahland-designed drinking fountain. A public appeal was launched this week to raise $250,000 to complete the project, which already includes $25,000 from the City of Greater Bendigo, $25,000 from the Frances and Harold Abbott Foundation and $20,000 from the German Heritage Society.

Keech Australia has announced the Keech Family will donate up to $50,000 in design, engineering and casting of new steel components needed for the fountain, while engineering firm Howard Osborne is already assisting with a range of in-kind work associated with its installation. Cr Cox thanked the donors for their generosity and said he looked forward to the restoration works beginning. “The plan is to place the fountain at the end of Bull Street, between the Law Courts and the Conservatory Gardens, and unveil it on the 101st commemoration of Vahland’s death,” he said.

such as the lace monitor, brushtailed phascogale and a variety of woodland birds, including the powerful owl.” Mr Kirwan’s property adjoins the Pilchers Bridge Nature Conservation Reserve, where he worked with the local Landcare group to revegetate previously cleared areas of his property as well as undertaking fencing, weed control and installing nest boxes for native animals. “The placing of the covenant on his property means he has done something really terrific for our natural environment,” Cr Cox said. “The council is very pleased to support private land conservation in this way. “I always admire people like Mr Kirwan whose actions speak louder than words.”

Help out at the tree plant day Members of the community are invited to come along and help plant 4000 native plants alongside the Bendigo Creek as part of National Tree Day. The City of Greater Bendigo is holding a community tree planting along the Bendigo Creek in White Hills to celebrate the 20th National Tree Day between 10.30am and 2pm on Sunday. The site is 300 metres downstream from Weeroona Avenue, and is a heavily used area for recreational purposes. “This year’s planting site has been chosen because it is an important open space corridor through the heart of the city that provides recreation facilities for residents and a habitat for wildlife,” council’s Robyn Major said. “4000 new native plants will help strengthen and improve the Bendigo Creek environment both for the local wildlife and the local community. “In addition to the planting there will also be children’s art activities on offer and a free barbecue will be provided for everyone who participates on the day.” National Tree Day has involved more than three million participants who have planted 21 million native trees, shrubs and grasses throughout Australia since its launch in 1996. All participants are asked to wear suitable clothing, footwear and

A MYRTLE Creek resident has been rewarded for his work to protect bushland on his central Victorian property. Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox presented a cheque via the City’s Bushcare Incentive Program to Christopher Kirwan last Friday. Mr Kirwan recently placed a Trust for Nature conservation covenant on his property south east of Bendigo. A conservation covenant is a permanent, legally-binding agreement placed on a property’s title to ensure native vegetation on the property is protected. Trust for Nature is a not-forprofit conservation organisation that seeks to conserve fast disappearing bush. Cr Cox said Mr Kirwan’s property was the 51st in Great-

forum: Cr Lisa Ruffell, Captain Angela Madden, Danielle Snowdon, Anna Healey and Fenella Wagener.

The way ahead For many of the young women who attend the Women Showing the Way forum it is the first time they have been inside the Bendigo Town Hall. “They really are impressed when they step inside our heritage building,” the forum organiser Cr Lisa Ruffell said. The forum is an initiative of the city and aims to encourage and inspire young female students to get involved in the life of their community. It’s the brainchild of Cr Ruffell who also hosts the forum, Wednesday’s event was the fifth time it has been held. The forum was attended by around 180 female students from Girton Grammar, Bendigo Senior Secondary College, Bendigo South

East 7-10 Secondary College, Weeroona College Bendigo, Eaglehawk Secondary College, Catholic College and Crusoe College. “When the girls walked into the town hall are always impressed by the attractive table settings which included bags of high class ‘goodies’,” Cr Ruffell said. Cr Ruffell said the intention of the day was to make the girls feel special as they listened to the several motivational guest speakers. The forum was officially opened by the Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters MP. The special guest speaker was Anna Healey. A wife, mother, secondary school

drama teacher, writer and international class gold medal winning Paralympic sailor, Anna was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 28. Other guest speakers included Danielle Snowdon, the author of The Nerdy Bird and the 2015 City of Greater Bendigo Young Citizen of the Year, Captain Angela Madden who spoke on women’s role in the armed forces and Fenella Wagener, singer/songwriter, journalist and Channel Nine Today Show producer “The mentors also stay in touch with the girls afterwards and continue to support them with their endeavours and dreams,” Cr Ruffell said. – Dianne Dempsey

New horizon at home

RESIDENTS of Bethlehem Home for the Aged have a brighter outlook thanks to a new mural. The colourful mural spans about 30 metres wide and is 2.5 metres tall and was unveiled at the home in Specimen Hill Road, Golden Square on Wednesday. The mural was painted by local artist, Terry Jarvis, over a two-week period and features vibrant farm scenes, rolling hills, flowers, houses, shops and a vast array of animals. The mural is the main feature of a wall in the courtyard of the aged care home’s memory unit, which offers specialised support to people living with dementia. Mercy Health’s Bethlehem Home for the Aged underwent a $23 million redevelopment between 2010 and 2013, which included a 60-bed wing on the first floor, a café, landscaped courtyards, and a chapel and lifestyle facilities.

Striders step out

A group of women who have banded together to raise money for cancer research are typical of the many generous people in our community who give their time and hearts to help others. In this instance a group of 12 women who call themselves the Strathfieldsaye Striders have joined together to take part in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. The special event benefiting the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre will be held next year on the weekend of April 16-17. The Strathfieldsaye Striders will walk 60 kilometres over two days with

thousands of other women and men. The proceeds will support breast and gynaecological cancer research, treatment and services. Team member Leanne Curnow says the women have individual reasons for participating in the walk but together their aim is to accomplish something significant to help make an impact towards finding a cure for cancer. The team is committed to raising $24,000 and have several events planned over the coming months including movie nights, a shopping trip, a winery tour, the Ambrose Golf Day, a trivia and auction night and a market night.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 24, 2015

Ms Curnow said their first fundraiser is the upcoming market night planned for tonight at St Francis Of the Fields Primary School from 6pm to 9pm. The market will consist of a variety of stalls, a popup quality op shop, lucky shopper prizes and beverages and finger food on arrival. Entry $10 per person. For stall enquiries and to pre-purchase tickets email strathstriders@hotmail. com or call Donna on 0408 663 365. On the move: The Strathfieldsaye Striders have plans afoot.

Fresh shortage for Foodshare A recent report from Bendigo Foodshare said that the organisation was struggling to meet the ongoing demand for food, in particular fresh food. A not-for-profit organisation, Foodshare is governed by a local board and staffed by volunteers. Bendigo Foodshare launched a big fundraising drive last year and said it needed $100,000 of donations annually to keep operating. Its operations are based on distribution to food agencies, rather than directly to individuals. A visit to the Foodshare website explains ways the community can help keep Foodshare operating.

Safety is top of the farm list WITH the sobering fact of 24 deaths on Australian farms to June 30, it’s time to think safety. It’s National Farm Safety Week and with the growth of small farms around Bendigo it’s time to heed the message. It is an opportunity to encourage farmers, agricultural employees and others involved with primary industry to make occupational safety part of their workplace and family culture. “Fatalities on farms are almost always avoidable,” CEO of the National Rural Health Alliance Gordon Gregory said. “The commonsense approach to safety on farms must be embedded in people’s thinking and behaviour – not pursued reluctantly as something that just has to be done. And appreciating that a safe farm is also a more productive one should help with this.” There are four elements: identify hazards and fix them as soon as possible; have clear procedures for activities that are particularly risky; make sure everyone – including visitors and particularly children – understands the procedures; and have an emergency plan in case there is an accident. “Having safer farms is especially important for children, who make up 20 per cent of all fatalities, with many more suffering serious injury,” Mr Gregory said. Information on the free safety induction app and Farm Safety Week can be found at www.farmsafe.org.au or by contacting the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety on (02) 6752 8210.

Shorten at the show OPPOSITION Leader Bill Shorten was among thousands of visitors to the Australian Sheep and Wool show last weekend. Mr Shorten seemed to have forgotten the trials of recent weeks politically to spend time with his family. “It was great to spend the day in Bendigo at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show with Chloe and the kids,” he said. “Chloe’s grandfather was a wool classer, so it was extra special for her to be able to introduce the children to that part of her family history. “I am always impressed by the resilience and resourcefulness of Australian farmers. Despite all that nature throws at our farmers, they still turn out world class produce consistently.” Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters played host to Mr Shorten, along with Australian Sheep Breeders Association president, Malcolm Starritt. “Lisa Chesters has been telling me what a highlight the Sheep and Wool Show is and she wasn’t wrong,” Mr Shorten said. “The Bendigo community has certainly done itself proud once again. “I could sense the pride everyone had in their community and their work as we walked through the stalls and the sheds.” As the grand-daughter

READY? The Run For Dad is just six weeks away.

Six weeks out With six weeks to go before the Run 4 Dad there is enough time to get in some training to complete the course. The pace you train depends on what base level of fitness you have. If you are new to running – even if you are physically fit – you should mostly walk for next two weeks. Although this may sound boring, there is statistically a very good chance of becoming injured if you do not begin with a period of walking. It takes time for your joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones to get used to the impact and mechanics of running.

Your overall fitness tends to increase before your body has fully adapted, and that is when you get injured. Use the two weeks of walking to get into the habit of exercise, and adjust your daily routine, and enable your body to get a head start on adapting to running. If you have jogged a little, but never run far, it is still advisable to begin a programme. This year the organisers are taking the run to the Bendigo Racecourse. The course was used for the 2014 Oceania Games cross country and was well received by both the athletes and officials.

The racecourse is a safe area with ample car parking and amenities for the runners and their supporters. The 7.5km distance is ideal for both the experienced athletes as they can get the feel of racing and for the inexperienced sufficient for them to exercise continuously for around 30 to 40 minutes plus the warm up before. It all takes place on Sunday, September 6. 7.5km run 10am, 3.75km walk 10.30am. Course opens at 9am. Under 16 $15, over 16 $30, family $70. Late entry on the day, Under 16 $30, over 16 $50, family $120. Entry only accepted online at www.athleticsbendigo.org.au

Trail bridges need a name

HELPING OUT: Wil Barrett with some of the bikes heading for Kalianna. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Mitch moves for school bikes KALIANNA school students are back on their bikes after one of their students took action. Mitch is 13 years old and he suffers from anxiety, schizophrenia, and autism. However, Mitch is also a very driven young man with a heart of gold. He has been fundraising on behalf of Kalianna School, and has raised $3500 to buy an entirely new fleet of bicycles for the students to use. The current fleet of bikes

have been getting quite rundown and the school’s bike program has had to be pulled due to safety issues. Aside from teaching kids how to ride, the bikes were also used as stress relief for the kids. Cyclescape Bendigo’s Wil Barrett was approached by Mitch’s mum Mychelle to help out. “She came to us last week to see if we would be interested in helping them out with the fundraiser by supplying

the new fleet of bikes for the school,” Mr Barrett said. “We were absolutely stoked with the opportunity to help out, and we have received 20 new bikes that we’ll be getting ready to be unveiled at Kalianna School assembly on Friday. “What’s super exciting is that the unveiling will be a complete surprise to the students at school.” Mitch will also be speaking at the assembly to talk about his fundraising efforts and why he wanted to give this gift.

THE O’Keefe Rail Trail now has 50 kilometres of off-road trail to be enjoyed by its users. This includes 14 new trail bridges which add to the total of 17 trail bridges, crossing various waterways along the length of the rail, but they lack names. When this section of the former railway line was originally built, in 1887-1888, a total of 50 bridges were initially constructed by Andrew O’Keefe’s company. Recent investigations by the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail have revealed a number of the waterways crossed by the current trail bridges appear not to have been officially named. “It surprised our members to learn that many of these waterways, even though most are usually in a dry condition, did not have a name,” group president Garry Long said. “To name such would not only assist the trail manager, City of Greater Bendigo council, to easily identify bridge assets and assist with trail maintenance; naming could also help emergency services and be a point of interest for trail users.” The Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail have now taken up this waterway naming challenge as a new project. “Not only are we seeking possible names, that could have historical links or relate to natural environment phenomena,” Mr Long said. “We are also seeking funding to manufacture and install such naming signs at each waterway. “As a community group we would

NO NAME: There are 17 bridges on the trail. welcome donations, perhaps from a former land owner’s family connections, businesses or individual donors.” Suggested names, with credible references, will be submitted by the group to the appropriate land management authority for consideration and approval. The unnamed waterways and those “suggested” names have been highlighted from research and various sources. Other naming submissions are still being considered. Contributions are now being sought for the naming of these waterways. Details from bendigokilmorerailtrail@gmail.com.

Be predictable for safety WATCHING bicycle couriers at work in Melbourne is heart-stopping. They dart between cars, trams and pedestrians – here suddenly, gone before you catch your breath again. It’s their unpredictability that scares you. Yet being predictable is one of the best ways a cyclist can stay safe in traffic. Don’t dodge in and out of parked cars. Ride in a straight line. Motorists have a better chance of seeing you if you hold a steady course. You may feel exposed if you’re not used to riding in this manner. But this way you won’t surprise anyone by appearing suddenly from behind a car. Riding past a line of

bendigo parked cars requires vigilance. The safest place to be is a good car door width away from the cars. It is illegal to open a door into the path of a person or vehicle, but many people just don’t look first. Motorists coming up behind you can see you. So even though you might feel exposed, this is the safest place to be. On busy roads where parking is allowed along the kerb there is usually plenty of room for cars to pass you. Don’t be intimidated, you’re quite entitled to take

up half a lane here. You are allowed to pass cars on the left, as long as the car is not turning left. Be aware that you might be in a motorist’s blind spot as you sneak up the inside lane. Watch the backs of heads. You’d be surprised what people’s body language gives away and that way you’re prepared whatever they do. While turning left is easy, turning right can be a challenge. Confident cyclists simply indicate their intention to turn right, move into the right hand lane when it’s safe and turn with the traffic. If you’re not so confident, it’s quite acceptable to use a hook turn to get across the intersection.

JOIN US FOR A HEADMASTER’S TOUR On Friday July 31, come and see a place where students are supported by their teachers and community - where they are inspired by opportunity and encouraged by achievement. At Girton students are known and respected by Staff, developing strong relationships which foster their individual interests and aspirations.

Pathways to the future

By Robert Stephenson

Head of Campus, La Trobe University, Bendigo As a community, there are many things that we need to do to ensure that our region continues to develop and to remain economically and culturally vibrant. Increasing aspiration and participation in higher education is vital to achieving these goals. Although the introduction of the demand-driven system led to a large increase in the total number of enrolments in higher education, the rates of participation among students from regional and remote areas of Australia remain obstinately lower than those in metropolitan areas. Addressing this difference is crucial to us realising the unfulfilled potential for social and economic development across regional Australia that has its roots in the cycle of persistent inequality between urban and rural communities. Disparities are evident in the most basic measures of life chances that include the odds of surviving past infancy, and expected life span; and in quality of life measures including health, education, employment and income. Fewer people with a higher education qualification in regional communities translates into reduced access to skills and professionals across agriculture, business, education, engineering, finance, health, science and welfare, contributing to comparatively poor performance on indicators of social and economic development. In Bendigo we are advantaged over other regional areas that lack

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

higher education facilities, but we have an opportunity to achieve much more for regional Victoria. Together, we can bring about the changes needed to build a sustainable and diverse workforce for the 21st century knowledge-based economy. In fact, the economic development of our regional cities, and the range of professional skills needed to sustain them depends on the ability of our communities to have localised access to higher education. We know that of the students who graduate from our Bendigo Campus, more than 75 per cent stay in regional areas to live and work, providing the core professional services for the communities in which they live, and ensuring that those communities retain vibrant, energised places in which to raise families. We also know that of those who venture to the capital cities to pursue higher education, less than 30 per cent return to regional areas for employment after graduation.

“

Together we can provide... opportunities to create fulfilling lives

Evolving technology and ongoing changes across workplaces mean that the ability to benefit and fully engage economically in our communities, will require increased levels of education and training. It is essential, therefore, that our education system provides pathways for those who are not sufficiently prepared or uncertain about higher education.

Robert Stephenson. Changes to Federal Government arrangements that would increase funding for diploma and other subbachelor programs are essential if we are to provide individuals with a second chance at learning, and achievable steps that will provide a qualification pathway as well as the

confidence and resolve to go further. We also know that distance from higher education facilities can be a significant barrier to attendance. La Trobe’s Bendigo Campus has more than 600 beds of on-campus accommodation, but there is demand for more. Students who need to leave home to pursue their studies are more likely to stay and achieve better results if they are able to live in a secure, academically and socially supportive living and learning community. Providing opportunities for more students from outside the Bendigo region will require, quite simply, more accommodation. This remains one of our priorities. Higher education also provides an opportunity to connect to the world. New knowledge creation in universities has always come from the diversity of the academic and student population, bringing academic rigour

to different backgrounds and perspectives and the clash of ideas. We aim to bring more international students to Bendigo – allowing them the unique opportunity to learn and experience life in our wonderful city, and also enriching the learning of local students through friendships and sharing of cultures. We are also providing many more opportunities for our local students to spend time abroad during their studies – returning with knowledge and experiences that will shape their future lives and careers, and professional networks that will increasingly connect our city to the world. Together we can provide regional Victorians with the opportunities to create fulfilling lives and flourishing communities. Our open day on Sunday, August 16 provides a great opportunity for you to find out more about La Trobe University.

Calmly I replaced it all and jiggled the other end of the hose to get the diesel moving. No way would it go. Because of the temperature the fuel had turned jelly like. It was not going to slip up the tube and into the tank, it started then stopped, started. The system was failing. This had never happened before, it was all new to me. By now it was nearly midnight and my patience was wearing thin. I jiggled the hose and finally the tube filled with fluid diesel. The hose chose this moment to fly out of the tank, and diesel,

Whatever the reason, no way would the filling hose open the inlet. In the end I had to cut down a piece of pipe that I guessed to be right, luckily it was. So with my pipe inserted, the filler hose slipped through it and the other end in the jerry can I started the filling process. It was so cold the filler hose was rigid and kept pulling out of the filler cap.

I must admit I never expected this when I migrated to Australia, but as everyone says, I am used to cold weather. I did discover something new this past week. Diesel fuel does not flow too well. I was driving home late after an event in Axedale and the car let me know with a flashing light that the diesel was low. With careful deduction I worked out I could get home and refuel from jerry cans I had ready for the tractor. A grand scheme, what could go wrong? I carefully parked the trusty Golf in the shed at 11.30pm, didn’t want to wake the longsuffering Mrs Kendall. Now for the simple task of putting some diesel in the car. I hauled the can to a high spot and then went to insert a filling hose in the filler cap for the siphoning from the can. Now, those clever fellows at Volkswagen have added a little

HACC changes cannot be justified Some council staff and/or councillors are boasting that they have “cut” spending on HACC services. At what cost? Families with children with disabilities used to be able to receive one or two hours of respite at the weekend. This enabled them to take part in sport – or attend church – or take part in some other activity without the distraction of a child with a disability. No longer is this the case. They are now given the respite during the week – when the children would spend most of the day at school. Parents affected by this should contact the relevant minister and complain about the way they have been treated by the Bendigo council. On July 17, there was a press statement that Bendigo council had received $50,000 extra funding for HACC services this year. (a total of $183,765 for the year.) Therefore, how can the Bendigo council justify reducing weekend respite for families who have a child with a disability?

• Speed management and enforcement • Human and social factors • The effectiveness of accreditation schemes Of course, these reports are to guide the strategies direction and development of effective schemes in the area of heavy vehicle safety – not the safety of ordinary road users, nor to look at alternatives to reduce the increased heavy traffic. Politicians are failing to act or fail to see that the number of registered heavy vehicles on Australian roads has risen by 22 per cent since 2005, and the national freight task projected to double by 2030, therefore the problems and numbers of HVs on our roads is set to continue to increase. Monash Injury Research Institution shows comparison between truck crashes in Victoria and nationally the number of fatal crashes appear to have increased Australiawide and in Victoria since 1997. So, be careful out there on our roads and keep a watchful eye on those Juggernauts. This may have some explanation as to why the Speaker of Parliament took a helicopter to Geelong, rather than drive by car – of course she could have taken the train for nothing.

Shirley Mainstone, Spring Gully

Bill Collier, Golden Square

Beware the juggernaut on our roads

Council must share blame for non-payment

Why are our politicians showing scant regard or interest in the juggernauts on our roads and streets which cause congestion and destruction of life and property? Reports on heavy road transports show the high cost to our communities in terms of deaths and injuries, but never the costs to regional communities to repair roads, streets and bridges, when a significant reduction could be expected if a meaningful shift of some freight from road to rail could be achieved. How many trucks of garbage are transported to Melbourne by our city council to reduce the burden on the Eaglehawk tip? It is noticeable that the reports to government and other bodies associated with heavy vehicle crashes “concentrate” on five key areas to address: • Factors associated with HV crashes • Road and vehicle design

Hopefully by the end of this week all subcontractors and tradies owed money by the major contractor, Contract Control Services, for work performed at Ulumbarra theatre will have had their claims investigated by the recently appointed state government negotiator. And progressive, if not full payments will soon begin flowing. When all was going well with the theatre construction, and its opening, Bendigo council senior officers were quick to accept praise and use the word “we” along with accolades and superlatives to describe the theatre. But once problems emerged, council distanced itself by stating “the theatre is a state government and Bendigo Senior Secondary College project”. However, in Bendigo council budget papers for both 2013/14 and 2014/15, it states, “…Council will continue to act as the auspice body for the construction of the

Bendigo Community Theatre…”. In addition to many millions of ratepayers’ money, and the multi-millions council obtained in grants, all of which was collectively poured into the worthwhile project, should not the Bendigo council as “the auspice body” have been more energetic seeking solutions for the tradies when this mess first became known. CoGB’s belated statement “council was working collaboratively…” came to nothing. No doubt had the problems been resolved quickly, council would have been crowing about its successful involvement. Colin Carrington, Argyle (Heathcote)

A man of vision and values Not only has Don McKinnon had a huge role in the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show, he is largely responsible for it being held at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds as well. His efforts prevented the event being held at Lords Raceway as was council’s preference. The amount of work carried out by him and all the team of volunteers is just amazing. He has been and continues to

be a man of great personal and moral values and vision and has made a significant contribution to this great city in many ways. His efforts are seldom publicised. Don at present is working hard to prevent the demolition of the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre and is not about to give up any time soon. Council officers and those councillors who voted to demolish the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre should be ashamed that they do not appreciate the years of community work of Mr McKinnon and the Kangaroo Flat community. Qualities like fairness, honesty, responsibility to others, care and doing what is morally right come to mind. Come on councillors, you have your Aquatic Centre. What about saving the community leisure centre at Kangaroo Flat from demolition? Colin Burns Strathfieldsaye

Orchestra goes from strength to strength

A share of the audience fees will go towards the restoration, which is shortly going to require scaffolding the entire inside for the walls to be repainted. There were four excellent pieces played, notably Haydn’s cello concerto in C major, with soloist Toni Meehan. This is a demanding piece which came over very well. The major orchestral piece was Elgar’s Enigma Variations. All music lovers know the variation known as Nimrod, but this was all 13 of them, played with all due subtlety and sympathy and never a hesitation or slip. A professional orchestra could not have done better. The BSO has over 40 players now and is going from strength to strength. Michael Grounds, Strathfieldsaye

Tell us your thoughts Email: news@bendigopublishing.com

The Bendigo Symphony Orchestra presented a concert in St Paul’s Cathedral on Sunday for the first time in six years because of the restoration work being done.

editorial

opinion

Gift of life is a gift of love Many of us have probably thought about organ donation, but statistics show that few of us have done what is required to actually become a registered donor. The Miles family’s courage and selflessness should be an example and a beacon for the rest of us. Their story is a shining example of how mature and sensible conversations, no matter how awkward they may be at the time, can actually make it easier for our loved ones to make difficult decisions under otherwise challenging circumstances. And how doing so can provide significantly better health outcomes for others, at a time when we are confronted by the stark mortality of life and the emotional roller coaster that accompanies such difficult situations. Statistics reveal that, at any one time, approximately 1,600 Australians are on transplant waiting lists, but sadly, the opportunity for organ donation is all too rare.

news • 31

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Editorial Comment Just one in a hundred of those who die in a hospital can actually become an organ donor. Most of these rare deaths are sudden and unexpected with the patient dying in intensive care or the emergency department on a ventilator. So while circumstances may mean that many people who sign up to become an organ donor may never actually become one, it’s still possible for more people to become tissue donors as the circumstances required are less restricted and donation can occur up to 24 hours after death. Improving our community’s organ donation and transplantation outcomes is made easier if there’s a broader community response, and that’s why occasions such as DonateLife Week are so important. The simple fact of the matter is if we would

want or expect to receive an organ or tissue transplant should there be such a need, then we should equally be prepared to participate as a potential donor. From Sunday, August 2 to Sunday, August 9, DonateLife Week provides a timely reminder to prompt us all that we should discuss our views on organ donation with our families. It may well be a week dedicated to having this important conversation, and to learning more about organ donation, but it’s also a week that can set more of us on a course that could ultimately change lives, and even save lives. We share the potential to provide such a life changing donation, and many of us know someone whose own quality of life could be dramatically improved via organ donation. But when it comes to giving the gift of life, there’s no need to wait to have the conversation.

Time to focus on change? By Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie

The 2013 Council Independent Review found the City Futures directorate needed controls, changes and improvements. Unfortunately, that effort was ambushed by a self-serving March 2015 senior staff response; no change. City Futures boasts it links economic development and jobs growth with major infrastructure development and creative pursuits in arts and culture. Marketing puff claims “the strategy delivers excellent outcomes”, and that since City Futures’ formation, “Greater Bendigo stepped out of the shadow”. Excellent outcomes? Actually, no. Council’s data contradicts that ruse. Economic indicators from 2000 reveal growth slowing from 2006 to 2014. We wish it was otherwise. Judge for yourself; go to: http://economy. id.com.au/bendigo Gross regional product decelerated, and unemployment grew to near eight per cent. Tourism was mauled. Overnight stays for Bendigo-Loddon in 2000 were 2 million, by 2014 just 1.6 million. Tourism’s sales, value-adding and employment dived. Sadly, City Futures dismisses these realities, saturates the media with illusions, capturing millions on rubbery claims. Strutting the national stage, City Futures promotes Bendigo as a cultural arts dynamo, as-

serting a “new vibrancy and civic pride”. Actually a thin veneer, enjoyed by “high yield” tourists, a narrow band of enthusiasts, and select central food and accommodation businesses. Few outside that bubble share “vibrancy” or benefit. Cultural growth for everyday residents is by-passed for “blockbusters” to satisfy those in the bubble, and chase marginal economic gain. Evidence indicates less than 10 per cent of locals are engaged. Unlike sport, arts and culture have little presence in suburbs or rural areas. Local sport clubs engage all age groups and generally meet their operational costs. With notable exceptions, council’s arts/culture has a long way to go. Using your money, City Futures enjoys 60 staff and annual net losses of $11.5 million. Half its staff and losses are flung at tourism and related arts/culture/major events economic strategy; four times council’s support for our other 18 industry sectors that employ 97 per cent of the workforce and generate 97 per cent of our economy. City Futures priorities, illusions and losses must be challenged. Some reform ideas: • Upgrade the Economic Development unit to include Tourism and Major Events units’ staff and budgets, and re-task to serve all 19 industry sectors. Place the strengthened unit into Planning and Development directorate.

• Move the Gallery and the Capital Venues units into Community Well-Being directorate. Build on the good work, with greater emphasis on engaging far more residents. • Progressively devolve control and responsibility for tourism’s marketing, and the Visitor Information Centre’s operations and financing, to Bendigo Tourism and its beneficiaries. • Sponsor Bendigo Business Council to take far greater economic development responsibility and leadership. • Foster businesses that: valueadd, export, create jobs, and build broad community wealth. • Dissolve City Futures, reduce annual net losses by $4 million over five years. • Scrutiny is required. Conduct half-year public accountability forums. One in December would be a good start. Councillors can use residents’ dollars more effectively to achieve better economic, cultural, environmental and social outcomes. We are happy to publicly debate City Futures future with any councillor, the CEO and City Futures director.

David Bowie uncovered

AVID Bowie is forever changing and always ahead of his time. After deciding to do a school project on him, I soon discovered that I was fascinated by both Bowie’s music and his image – something that never stayed the same. Being 15, I am often questioned about this fascination. It is more or less because he seems, to me, like a character from a fantasy novel with a creative talent that cannot be compared to anyone else. Although I am a generation too

young to see Bowie on tour, the David Bowie is exhibition at the Australian Centre of the Moving Image in Melbourne is the perfect opportunity for someone like me to see the way he expressed his character on stage and on screen. A collection of his costumes spread throughout the exhibition, show the varying personas that Bowie took on and his ever-changing taste in fashion. Artworks that he created over the years demonstrate his creativity

in fields other than music. Clips of movies Bowie was a part of reinforce his undeniable acting skills while interviews with him help viewers to understand the real Bowie. After almost two hours of exploring the exhibition there was still more to read, hear or watch. As a companion to the exhibition, the David Bowie is book is available in the gift store to expand on the already overwhelming amount of information in the exhibition. Learning more about Bowie’s life

and what inspired him increases the attraction of both his music and his character. Whether his life was real or just a big role played by a spaceman remains to be seen, either way though, his life’s work is still being enjoyed by people all around the world at various ages. Bowie is a break away from the pattern of everyday life. With the exhibition at its only stop in Australasia it is well worth going to. David Bowie is yours for the taking. – Bonnie Martin

Ukeleles on show

HE comedy itch is being scratched in Bendigo. Next Thursday sees the third in the Evermore Comedy Store at the Golden Vine. Jack Levi headlines this month. He’s otherwise known as Elliot Goblet and has been a household name since the 1980s. “Our supports are direct from the cauldron that is the Melbourne comedy scene which is internationally recognised as Australia’s comedy heart,” organiser Axl Taylor said. “Other names we are in negotiations with include Carl Barron, Akmal, Russell Gilbert, Chris Franklin, Steady Eddy and a host of the new breed of top guns currently touring Australia. “What I am doing, is creating a regional comedy scene for country and regional comedy beginners to work side by side with Australian comedy legends.” Taylor said there are three spots kept for new and local comics at heart to sign up on the night. “One lady did it to cross it off her bucket list and she blew the crowd away,” Taylor said. “It was her first ever attempt at comedy on stage.” “The Evermore Comedy Store is Bendigo’s very own professionally-run room providing champagne comedy acts at beer prices.” The next gig is July 30. “Because the shows are in an intimate and New York style comedy club, we recommend booking early to ensure good seats,” Taylor said. Cost is $15 and the show starts at 7.30pm at the Golden Vine.

SARAH CARROLL

HERE is a very special singer/ songwriter Showcase this month when Sarah Carroll, Ukulele Queen of the Bellarine and Ukulele Carnivale play a double-header. They are ably supported by former Bendigo musician Aaron Wales. Carroll is an original country and folk singer/songwriter, well known for her work with The Junes and partner Chris Wilson, among others. Sarah is promoting her third solo release Home and Heart which illustrates her wide and various influences; her coastal residence, home life with pets, kids and friends, touring around Australia and the US, and many years in the business. Bellarine Peninsula based

singer/songwriter duo Narelle Jolley and Susan Russell (aka Sweet Delores) formed Ukulele Carnivale in mid 2013. Their signature harmonies and musicianship, a feature of their live performances, take you on a carnival ride of stories about cads, gamblers, circus folk, longing, lost love, country miles and musings of beauty

and wonder. Aaron Wales is a singer/ songwriter that gets close to the mark, sometimes he even pulls it off silencing the room with a palpable song that gets those noisy punters’ attention. Entry is $15 at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. It all kicks off at The Old Church on the Hill, Bendigo.

WIN 1 OF 3 DOUBLE PASSES MELBOURNE ARTS CENTRE STATE THEATURE

TUESDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER 7PM The world’s most successful dance show explodes onto the Australian stage from 10 September opening in Hobart with a spectacular new staging of Michael Flatley’s masterpiece - Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games. The theatrical extravaganza will then tour to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney. Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games enjoyed a sell-out season in London’s West End last year, returning to The Dominion Theatre in March 2015 due to overwhelming popular demand. This international production comes to Australia as part of a 15 country-tour, following an extensive UK tour. Lord of the Dance captivates audiences with its mesmerising dance styles rooted in the traditional form of Irish dance that has evolved over more than 2,000 years. The story is a classic tale of good vs evil based on old Irish folklore, as well as a passionate love story expressed through dance.

WWW.LORDOFTHEDANCE.COM

This latest version of the global dance phenomenon combines the best of tradition with all the excitement of new music and heartstopping dance, making it perfect family entertainment. Please note: Michael Flatley will not be performing in the Australian tour. Michael Flatley will dance for the last time at Wembley Stadium, London on 4 July 2015.

EING able to relate an academic subject to the reality of the workforce is often a challenge for both teachers and their students. It is a challenge that was taken up by La Trobe’s Dr Sue Gillett who recently won an award for developing innovative subjects for the Bendigo Writers Festival and for the recent Imagining Ned exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Dr Gillett received a pro-vice chancellor’s teaching award for the development of two subjects offered during major cultural events in Bendigo. Her Writers in Action subject was launched for last year’s Bendigo Writers Festival. Students had access to exclusive writing seminars and workshops, media access to festival presenters and invitations to VIP festival welcome events and keynote sessions. Dr Gillett’s Exhibiting Culture: Imagining Ned subject was launched in May 2015. Students had an inside look at the world of Ned Kelly, joining leading scholars and industry professionals to explore the historical items on display during the Imagining Ned exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Head of the Bendigo campus, Robert Stephenson, said the College Teaching Awards recognised teaching activities that developed high quality learning experiences for students. “Of 30 staff recognised for College Teaching Awards, 16 are based at the Bendigo campus. Their leadership and innovation enables our students to access exciting and unique learning experiences,” he said. Mr Stephenson said game-changing partnerships with organisations such as the Bendigo Art Gallery and City of Greater Bendigo made Dr Gillett’s subjects possible.

NE of the artists to watch for at the Bendigo Gallery’s exhibition Hiding in Plain Sight is Ronnie van Hout. His challenging work often combines sculptures, installations and videos.

His work on display, BED/SIT, 2008 reconstructs Hearing a 1972 work by pioneering minimalist artist Robert Morris. According to art critic Ash Kilmarton, van Hout’s work describes “how everyone in the audience may, like the artist, be playing themselves in the sitcom of their lives.” To see how this concept translates to art, the audience needs to explore the work themselves. When the Weekly met Mr van Hout he was in the

The Nabo Community Grant is part of a national program to provide $50,000 worth of funding to Australian projects that connect local communities, work for the inclusion of marginalised Australians, or help the community prepare or respond to a disaster.

feverish throws of supervising his work’s installation. He did have time however to recognise the importance of the Michael Buxton collection which has bought his work. “What Michael does is extremely important. The arts generally need more patronage. If you deny art, if you say it has no relevance, you are denying an integral part of being human,” he said. Hiding in Plain Sight is a selection of works from the Michael Buxton Collection.

UMPING Castles were once the domain of children but not any more, thanks to Bendigo Castle King who have expanded their inflatable realm to cater for all ages. Whether for birthday parties, company functions or promotional events Bendigo Castle King has a range of jumping castles to suit every occasion. “We’ve recently bought two new castles that are sure to be popular,” Bendigo Castle King’s Susan said. “These new castles are ideal for teenagers or for those who want to join in the fun with or without their children.” These new adult sized additions supplement Bendigo Castle King’s existing range of popular children’s castles in a variety of themes.

All Bendigo Castle King jumping castles are industrial strength with all electric motors and leads protected by safety switches. Safety is always a big consideration with Bendigo Castle King instructing all clients in the correct operation procedure. “When someone selects one of our castles, we transport it and set it up showing them how to operate it while explaining all the safety procedures,” Susan said. Castles can be booked for four or eight hours for private or public use – however constant supervision is required when erected for public use.

Kangaroo Flat Garage Doors Stuart Sinclair has been manufacturing and installing a range of standard and custom garage doors for 30 years. Stuart has the experience to supply and install competitively priced doors, gates or even screens throughout your property. You might have already seen some of Kangaroo Flats Garage Doors recently on the stunning Harcourt residence featured on the popular TV show, Grand Designs Australia. “I just got this call from out of blue asking me if I could fabricate a couple of custom garage doors using corrugated iron and steel to blend with the facade of a stone cottage he was building in Harcourt,” Stuart chuckled.

“Stuart of Kangaroo Flat Garage Doors was refereed to me by a friend, who had used his services in Castlemaine previously,” Harcourt house owner, Art Van Dyk said. “His workmanship was first rate and he did a top job in fabricating to my specifications in the material I wanted.” “Garage doors, are also often overlooked for general maintenance,” Stuart said. Especially when they they’re connected to an auto opener they can become difficult to open over time,” Stuart said. “Adjustments are usually all that’s required to get them working as they should, and not destroy your auto opener years before their time, a general servicing is usually under $100.” So for all your Garage door enquiries phone Stuart of Kangaroo Flat Garage Doors on 5447 2094 or 0428 472 094.

Short stories a winner T

he short story genre is fading before our eyes and collections nowadays are rarely published; however as an antidote to this trend there is always the short story competition – and they are flourishing. One of the great supporters of the competition is the crime buffs organisation, Sisters in Crime Australia. This year they will be awarding a record $9350, much of which has been given to the organisation by individual sponsors One particular award previously overlooked by writers is for a financial crime story. Ann Byrne, the now retired CEO of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors, is a long-term convenor of Sisters in Crime, and has sponsored the Financial Crime Award for the past two years. “However, I’ve never actually had to pay out the award due to the relatively small number of entries not quite being up to the Stiletto Awards writing standard,” she said. “As someone who has spent over two decades in the finance industry, I know there are many stories to be written – from simple financial theft, fraud and embezzlement to money laundering, tax evasion, insider trading, identity theft, and forgery. “And there are also so

homas Arthur Raymond Williamson in company with L C Frank worked an alluvial gold mining claim adjacent to the town hall on the site of the demolished lockup. As a builder Mr Williamson’s skills came to the fore when he erected a well braced windlass over the shaft. As the shaft was so close to businesses, pedestrians, cyclists and other traffic, he took the precaution to have a hinged wooden cover that could lock up the shaft. This was for security of the finds that were anticipated once the pipeclay layer had been located. The other reason for locking up the shaft was to prevent people from falling into the hole. Mr Williamson was born at White Hills, the family at one stage had been in South Africa, some members were born over there. The building trade had run in the family as Mr Williamson’s father had also been a builder. Later two of his grandsons also followed the same direction. Older Bendigonians will well remember the two Williamsons who were builders, they were Leigh, born in 1929 and Maxwell. During the Great Depression when building or contract work was almost impossible to secure, Mr Williamson and a mate Lou used to ride their bicycles on the gravel road all the way to St Arnaud where they worked a mining claim in the side of a hill. This St Arnaud claim was worked for two weeks at a time. To take a break the two then would pedal back to Bendigo at

night, the flame from the carbide bicycle lamps being their only illumination. The pair would stay in Bendigo for three days before cycling back to St Arnaud. Mr Williamson was fortunate to obtain the position of caretaker of the Bendigo Showgrounds, which has since become the Tom Flood Sports Centre. At the showgrounds he could use his skills as a builder. There were many repairs and a lot of maintenance work that needed to be done. The different pavilions, grandstand and fences that existed on that site needed skilled attention. A man of diverse talents, Mr Williamson was responsible at various occasions to set off the fireworks. He lived in the caretaker’s house on the grounds, and was responsible for the security of the showgrounds and locked the gates before dark. The Williamson family then moved to a house in Mercy Street where the Monash Medical Centre is now located. Having constructed a house in Bridge Street, near the Tyson’s Reef Hotel, the Williamson family next moved to that locality.

The Williamson boys attended the Central School now called Camp Hill, with both Leigh and Max attending the Junior Technical School before becoming apprenticed to their father. One of the boys, Bruce, went to the Bendigo High School, he eventually became headmaster of the Violet Street Primary School. Mr Williamson also built houses in Vine (Paddy’s Gully), Havlin and Grattan streets. But now back to the claim in Market Square, each pan full of dirt being raised by the middle of December 1932, when being washed gave a number of colours of gold. Encouraged, the pair kept digging, they were already five metres down, and then struck a small drive from the early 1850s. The two miners by the middle of January had found a narrow gutter of pipeclay which they followed, this contained nice alluvial gold. Underground the men were working their way in the direction of Hargreaves Street. In a period of one week in January 1933, they had washed out of the raised dirt over 10 ounces of gold, a really good bonus in those hard economic times.

many different contexts to exploit – from Owners’ Corporations and real estate agencies to businesses, banks, the stock exchange, funds management, financial planning, cartels and the insurance and superannuation industries.” Ms Byrne said the stories don’t have to involve Wall Street. “As we know only too well here in Victoria, financial crime also happens in schools. Crime does not have to necessarily involve murder and mayhem. Non-violent white collar crime can destroy thousands of lives by other means,” she said. “The process of discovery in financial crime is not as straightforward as for other crimes. Nevertheless, writers will find there are great opportunities to build tension as clues are revealed. “As always, accuracy in the detail is also essential.” Sisters in Crime stories must have a crime or mystery theme, a female protagonist and a female author. Further short story awards include: Sisters in Crime, Every Cloud Productions $1500 first prize. Echo Publishing for 2nd prize ($1000). HarperCollins romantic suspense ($500). Melbourne’s Athenaeum Library

is again offering a prize of $1000 and a runner-up prize of $500 for the best short story that includes the words “body in the library”.

A more personal approach to your taxation needs

O your taxes need attending to? Do you have a simple personal tax return or a more complicated issue, possibly involving negative gearing or self employment service income? If this description applies to you, registered tax agent and fully accredited CPA member Bjoern Giller from Bjoern’s Accounting Services can help. “I will be there to assist and guide you through the issues that need to be addressed,” Bjoern said. “By asking plenty of questions we will cover all possible deductions that will ensure we minimise your tax to the max.” Bjoern offers practical advice seven days a week for all matters of taxation advice and planning. He will even come to your preferred work place after hours to make sure your taxation affairs are in order. Bjoern will help put you in a position to take full advantage of all allowable deductions, including

negative gearing if applicable. “The optimum scenario is to have a positive cash flow but be negatively geared if you have an investment property,” Bjoern said. “As there are various methods of depreciating your investment assets it is important to choose the right one based on your current and future anticipated circumstances. A professionally prepared Depreciation Report is a ‘must’ in these cases. “Another area that is often overlooked is the ‘special building write-off’ or ‘bricks and mortar depreciation’ as I call it. This can be used to depreciate your Investment Property for up to 40 years in certain circumstances.” Bjoern’s expertise extends from negatively-geared rental properties to taxation requirements for companies, partnerships, trusts and selfmanaged superannuation funds. For help with these or any other taxation matters please phone Bjoern’s Accounting Services on 5446 2697 or email bjoern.giller@ gmail.com

Join the family

BENDIGO Spirit fans have had a preseason win, with the club unveiling heavily reduced membership packages this week ahead of the 2015/16 season. Reductions of at least $50 are on offer across the range of memberships the club offers. The new membership packages are about getting as many people involved in the club as possible, according to general manager Adam Tarr. “We are excited about what this team and this club have to offer, and we want as many people as possible to join the Spirit family,” he said. “Last season’s adult membership was $150. This year it is $100. Child membership was $100 last year. This season it is $50.

Tour setback no reason to quit By ZAK DEMPSTER

I LIKE to think I have the perspective to understand that sport is only sport in the end. In the grand scheme of things the result doesn’t actually matter. I’ve come to understand that although winning races is what I dream of, I used to link it pretty closely to whether I was content in myself. Now that I look back on my career and see the way I’ve been at times, I wasn’t clear; I didn’t have perspective. But I like the way I’ve gone about things recently. I understand no race win is your most important contribution to the community. When I’ve had a setback, and whether or not it hurts, it shows that I’ve been lucky enough to have a passion for what I’m doing. But it doesn’t define who I am or what I bring to the table. But the fact it does hurt me and I do care is something not to be taken for granted considering not many get to

feel like I am now. I’ve finished the Tour de France before, and I’m determined to do a hell of a lot more than that before my time in cycling is over. I feel proud that I fought through the setbacks I had this year, and gave everything I had to give. I can’t question that for one second. I’ve never given so much just to stay in the race. I wanted to quit, I fought, but in the end I wasn’t able to get through it. I’m the only one who can look in the mirror and answer whether that was everything, and, I can honestly say it was. I feel very humbled by all the support from everyone that has taken the time to write me a message of support and then check that I’m okay. Like I mentioned, I am disappointed but not disheartened. I like the process of what I do. I think I can take it to so many different careers, but for the moment I’m not done with this one.

We really enjoy the support our fans have for the club “Concession memberships have been reduced from $125 to $75, and the new family packages can save families hundreds of dollars.” With the season fixture expected to be released in coming weeks, the club is also offering saving for earlybirds. “Every adult membership purchased before September 1 comes with a free child membership,” Tarr said. “That’s 12 home games for only $100, saving up to $140 on general admission. Plus, all memberships purchased before September 1 come with a free Spirit t-shirt. Spirit star centre Gabe Richards said the players received a huge boost by meeting members. “Whether we are on the court or off it, we really enjoy the support our fans have for the club,” she said. “We are inspired as much by our

Hillies in finals push By JOEL PETERSON

WHITE HILLS coach Shaun Makepeace is sick of his side being simply competitive. Sitting comfortably inside the Heathcote District Football League’s top five, Makepeace laid down the challenge to the Demons this week saying close enough is not good enough. The Demons will get a chance to impress against one of the league‘s top sides on Saturday when they host North Bendigo at Tint A Car Oval. The Hillies had strung three wins in a row together before the bye last week, and need only win one of their remaining four games to put a finals position beyond doubt. It is a stark contrast to last season, in which White Hills snuck

into the finals by 2.5 percentage points over Colbinabbin despite losing its last game of the season. Despite that, Makepeace says it is no less stressful this year as he tries to get his side to find its best football before September. “It’s always stressful, especially when you’re facing the prospect of a likely elimination final,” Makepeace said. “Maybe it’s less stressful in that with a bit of security you can work on a few things as opposed to every game being do or die, but that doesn’t mean we want to win these last four games any less. “We lost an elimination final last year and we are trying to set ourselves to go at least one better this season.” With almost a full list to pick from, with the exception of star midfielder Hayden Wright and

young gun Ben Gardner, Makepeace says his side is well positioned heading into the final throes of the season. With the league’s two top sides, Leitchville-Gunbower and North Bendigo, at home and two sides outside the five left to play away from Scott Street, the Demons have a testing mix of remaining games. Makepeace thinks there is no reason the side can’t be confident of winning all four clashes, saying being simply competitive is wearing thin “We are pretty sick of being just competitive, really. It is all well and good being competitive, but you want to go out every week and try and win these games,” he said. “As hard as that may seem, you can’t have that acceptance of just competing. There is a big grey area in being competitive. Is it getting

Miners power through THE Bendigo Fighting Miners locked away a double chance in finals in a record-breaking 92-point win over Puckapaunyal at the weekend. The second-placed Fighting Miners can not move up or down the table after the final round after running in 15 tries in an utterly dominant performance. In the absence of gun Josh Manderson, Zion Faia stepped up, running in the first try of the game and setting two records of his own, scoring the most points by a player in an away game (27) and most goals by an individual (11). The side broke even more of away game club records: highest score (99), most tries (15), biggest winning margin (92) and most goals (12). Faia’s fourth minute try opened the scoring and Bendigo did not relent thereafter, leading 47-0 at half-time before piling on 52 more points after the interval. Bendigo’s huge forward pack was the catalyst for the win, overpowering the smaller Puckapunyal side at the scrum and breakdown.

these games.” In other round 15 HDFL games, Huntly hosts Lockington Bamawm United, Mount Pleasant travels to Heathcote and Elmore is at home to Leitchville-Gunbower.

Breakfast with Frank

HARD HITTING: The Miners have a double chance for the finals. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN Forwards Josephar Maiai (three tries), Jesse Tuitupou, Blake Theunissen, full-back Fareni Moefaauo and five-eighth Ryan Spedding (two tries) were

all outstanding for Bendigo. Young winger Trentin Clampit had few opportunities but finished off a backline movement with his maiden try

late in the first half. The Miners host Melbourne Chargers in the last match before the playoffs at Epsom Huntly Reserve on Saturday.

THE Bendigo Football Netball League will host its second leadership and community wellbeing breakfast next Thursday at The Bendigo Club. Vietnam War veteran Frank Hunt will be one of two speakers on the day. The line “Frankie kicked the mine the day that mankind kicked the moon” is a well known lyric from Redgum’s song “I Was Only 19”. The song’s story is one shared by many veterans, part of the story belongs to Frank Hunt. After growing up in the Mallee, Frank was not conscripted by the infamous ballot but volunteered to go to war. “He is an inspiring orator and will relay his story including dealing with pain, mentoring, mateship and the military,” BFNL manager Carol Cathcart said. The work AFL Central Victoria does in the education around illicit drugs will also be highlighted. The breakfast starts at 7.45am on Thursday morning, and cost is $30. Tickets for the breakfast can be booked by calling 5434 2400. In this weekend’s round 14 BFNL action, Eaglehawk is at home to Castlemaine, Gisborne hosts South Bendigo, Kyneton can all but sew up a finals position with a win over a red-hot Golden Square, Kangaroo Flat tackles Sandhurst and on Sunday Maryborough plays host to Strathfieldsaye in a battle of bottom versus top.

Sore end to tour By JOEL PETERSON

ZAK Dempster is determined not to let his Tour de France define his 2015 season, after he was forced to withdraw from his second participation in the great race last week. Dempster tells the Weekly in an exclusive column this week how he has put having to abandon the pinnacle event for professional cyclists into perspective. The Bendigo cyclist came close to quitting the tour while riding over the 2115m pass of the Col du Tourmalet on stage 11, before having to abandon the following day due to the fact he simply could not keep contact with the peloton. The gruelling test of the Tourmalet and Col d’Aspin was made even harder by the fact Dempster was dealing with an extremely bad saddle sore, which could not heal while he was sitting on his bike for six hours. Before his abandonment, Dempster recorded a 12th-placed finish on stage

five, and felt he had stepped up on last year. “I’ve got two months of racing left and I’m pretty determined the tour won’t define my season, so back to work now and work towards winning a race,” he said.

I took a good step forward from last year “(I was feeling) really good, I was up there the days that suited me and I felt I took a good step forward from last year.” Although most would grimace at the thought of his stage 11 effort, Dempster isn’t going to oversell it as some act of heroism. “It wasn’t a life or death situation so I’m not going to pull out my violin and tell my tale too dramatically,” he said.

“But I was a long time going flat out just to survive that stage. I was with groups, then people would get in the car, so I definitely had some moments where I could’ve easily quit but I’m glad I didn’t.” Since he left the tour he has been back at his base in Girona, eating ice cream, going to the beach and recovering, even getting back on his bike for the first time since returning from France on Wednesday. In a somewhat funny turn, Dempster received an apology from a Dutch TV station after footage of him breaking down after stage 11 emerged prompting him to tweet that his love life may take a hit from the video. Luckily, he hasn’t copped too much from his mates. “Maybe my mates are waiting for the appropriate amount of time for it to become funny,” the 28-yearold said. “I found it pretty funny that night. So I haven’t, but I’m sure it’s coming.” ZAK’S TAKE Page 48
