cop that THE GREAT DIVIDE: Council has borne the costs associated with ongoing legal challenges and two public rallies, including this one in August, over the mosque. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By peter kennedy
ONGOING protest actions and legal objections to a permit granted by the City of Greater Bendigo to allow construction of the city’s first mosque, have cost Bendigo ratepayers more than $150,000, with costs continuing to climb.
■
Council’s costs top $150,000
Documents obtained under Freedom of Information show that council has accumulated a legal bill in excess of $124,581 as at the end of September, for legal fees associated with the planned mosque. A further $16,214 was spent on
resources such as crash barriers, traffic management, staff costs and associated security to deal with the protests that brought much of the city to a standstill on Saturday, August 29. While the documents provided pre-date last weekend’s repeat rallies
by supporters and opponents of the mosque, it’s likely up to $15,000 in costs were incurred as barriers were once again placed near the Town Hall and also in sections of Rosalind Park as part of a major police operation aimed at keeping locals
safe, and the opposing groups apart. Council’s legal expenses relate to dealing with two of Victoria’s most experienced legal firms specialising in the Local Government Act and the Planning and Environment Act – Russell Kennedy and Maddocks, and are continuing to mount as legal action instigated by Bendigo resident Julie Hoskin is still to be concluded.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 16, 2015
THE latest HIA-CoreLogic RP Data Residential Land Report shows there was some relief from the tight conditions in Australia’s residential land market in the June 2015 quarter. In the June quarter, national residential land sales increased by 17.6 per cent, while the weighted median residential lot price increased by 0.6 per cent over the quarter to be 5.2 per cent higher than 12 months earlier. Housing Industry Association economist Diwa Hopkins said the update shows that a rise in land sales was accompanied by an easing off in the pace of price increase in Australia’s residential land market. “This compares with previous quarters which saw strong price increases amid declining land sales. “While the June quarter result is an encouraging development, what needs to occur is similar results being sustained over the longer run.’’ The HIA continues to call for policy reform to address the key land supply bottlenecks including unnecessarily long planning delays; slow and insufficient release of residential land; excessive and inappropriate infrastructure funding arrangements, and excessive zoning restrictions. CoreLogic RP Data research director, Tim Lawless said the break in the trend of declining land sales was a positive outcome
after three consecutive quarters of declining sales. “A 17 per cent jump in vacant land sales is impressive, but land sales remain lower than the June quarter of last year and comes after three quarters where volumes consistently fell and prices rose. The most encouraging sign is that this quarterly rise in vacant land sales is broad based with five of the six states showing a substantial boost in sales.” IT’S another huge weekend of auctions and open for inspections, with Bendigo Weekly agents offering more than 270 opportunities to view some of the region’s best real estate opportunities. There’s also plenty of properties scheduled to go under the hammer this weekend. A large 27 acre lifestyle allotment in beautiful Longlea will go to auction onsite from 11.30am on Saturday. Listed with Elders Bendigo, the property at 301 Hawkins Lane represents a magnificent building allotment, which the agents describe as arguably the nicest in the immediate area. There’s also fertile soils, sealed road frontage and rear access from Swanwater Drive, all just 10 minutes from Bendigo. Lake Eppalock is also just a short drive. Elders also has the nearby property at 60 Swanwater Drive, Longlea to auction earlier on, from 10am.
AUCTION: 85 McIvor Road. This 23 acre (nine hectare) property is zoned Rural Living, and includes a colonial style brick hut with concrete floor, situated on one of the various possible building sites offered. Later on, Elders will auction the 42 acre property at 107 Smiths Lane, Sutton Grange. Listed for an onsite 2.30pm auction, this serene lifestyle property includes a current planning permit, stunning views of Mount Alexander, while a superb stone entry into the tree lined drive creating a great first impression. As revealed in last week’s Home Truths, next Thursday, October 22, Ray White Bendigo will put 13 properties under the hammer during a massive one night event to be held at The Boardwalk Bendigo from 6.30pm. The diverse range of opportunities on offer includes residential, land and commercial real estate in a wide range of price brackets. Tweed Sutherland First National has a rare 2428 square metre allotment in Quarry Hill set for auction tomorrow from 1pm.
Located at 17 Paterson Street, the vacant prime land offers an original sandstone front fence and all services. It would suit a quality townhouse development (STCA). TSFN also has the classic Brodie House, situated at 8 Brodie Street, Quarry Hill, up for auction from 11am Saturday. The up to five bedroom, two bathroom home with salt chlorinated pool offers a sensational inner city lifestyle in a tightly held pocket of one of Bendigo’s most favoured suburbs. McKean McGregor has the neat two storey three bedroom home at 85 McIvor Road Bendigo scheduled for auction from 11am Saturday. Within walking distance of the CBD, the property features a recent renovation that has transformed the property into an enchanting residence. The three bedroom home at 35 Weeroona Avenue White Hills is due for auction from 11am Saturday. Also listed with McKean McGregor, this home is in magnificent condition, and is set on a 709 square metre allotment.

Council back on track
THE City of Greater Bendigo has put a tumultuous few weeks behind it as revised procedures and meeting conditions were implemented to ensure Wednesday night’s public meeting could be held and a massive 332-page agenda considered. Changes put in place after the abandonment of the September 16 meeting included no public access to the upstairs chamber, with the meeting being broadcast via a large screen situated in the main body of the town hall. Up to two dozen police and several private security personnel were stationed around the building to try and prevent a repeat of the ugly scenes that dominated last month’s meeting.
Speaking on ABC radio on Thursday morning, Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox said he was pleased that this week’s meeting was able to proceed. “Safety and the public process were paramount,” he said.
“
delays, the live streaming of the meeting got under way just a few minutes after the start of official proceedings. The downstairs gallery included about 80 or so interested onlookers, including opponents

Cr Cox said he believed that in the wake of previous incidents and actions, democracy was at threat, as well as people’s safety. He also praised the work of Victoria police throughout the past two months. “I just cannot speak highly enough of their work.” After some initial technical

The anti-mosque group appeared restless throughout the meeting, saving their support and applause for Councillor Helen Leach whenever she rose to speak. Other councilors were at times ridiculed and yelled at, with Cr Mark Weragoda coming in for special attention. The City of Greater Bendigo’s decision to become part of the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV) program saw angry protesters drown out debate in the upstairs chamber. Senior Bendigo police were also quick to dismiss initial media reports that a group of protesters had been locked out of the meeting. The marathon meeting concluded at about 10pm.
Former mayors chase role TWO former mayors are locked in battle to determine who will lead the City of Greater Bendigo into the 2016 council elections. The Bendigo Weekly understands Lockwood Ward councillors Rod Fyffe and Barry Lyons head the nominations for the mayoral role, with Eppalock Ward councillor Mark Weragoda, and possibly one other councillor, also reportedly canvassing their options. Cr Weragoda’s ongoing Code of Conduct hearing presents as a problem for the first term councillor, after he was caught drink driving early in March, and then initially denied having been so. An independent panel’s decision on the Code of Conduct hearing into Cr Weragoda’s actions is believed to be due within days. When contacted by The Weekly yesterday, Cr Weragoda said he had been considering putting his name forward for the position. “I’ll be making a decision about it soon, probably over the weekend,” he said. Cr Lyons is the immediate past mayor, and he has been a City of Greater Bendigo councillor since the 2008 municipal elections. He is also a former Shire of Romsey councillor. The retired businessman moved to Kangaroo Flat in 1981 and established strong links to the local community.
Cr Lyons served as a Councillor with the former Shire of Romsey in the 1970s. He is the former licensee of Kangaroo Flat’s Windermere Hotel, a family business he owned and operated for 23 years. A long term supporter and sponsor of local sport, Cr Lyons has been president of the Kangaroo Flat Lions Club and a board member of the Kangaroo Flat Community Health Centre. Cr Lyons yesterday confirmed his interest in the mayoral role, and in recognising the challenging circumstances that presently exist for councillors, admitted the mayor’s job could be a “poisoned chalice” leading into the next elections. He described the vitriol
To uphold and stop a council meeting was ridiculous and abuse directed at current mayor Peter Cox during his mayoral reign as completely out of order and said it also demonstrated a lack of respect.
“I don’t mind people having opposing views and I don’t mind them expressing those views, but to uphold and stop a council meeting was ridiculous,” he said. Cr Lyons, who was mayor when the vote to aprove the mosque occurred, also said the recent disruptions to council had impacted on the timing of discussions regarding who would assume the mayoral role next. Cr Fyffe is a veteran of local government, having served as a City of Bendigo councillor from 1983 – 1994 and then as a Greater Bendigo councillor since the groundbreaking 1996 local government elections The retired school teacher is a three-time mayor who in 2013 was awarded an Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Yesteday, he confirmed he was also a candidate for mayor and said whoever won the role would do a great job for Bendigo. “No matter when you take the role, it’s always an opportunity to serve the community... I’d be delighted to be mayor again. “It’s up to the mayor, to council and to the community to work together to make sure we all do the right thing.” The next local government elections in Victoria will be held in October 2016.

Food for thought at hub Plans to develop a food hub in Bendigo, which would address food relief, education and food production, have recently been released for public comment. The potential for an addition to the already thriving community food sector in Greater Bendigo is described by Cr James Williams as “a logical next step”. “If there is a way to harness what would otherwise go to waste and address some of the documented health challenges Bendigo faces, then this proposal of a Food Hub is well worth exploring,” he said. A possible location for the food hub to be built is the former Crystal Ice site in Garsed Street, Central Bendigo.

“The site has the ability to cater for truck access, small garden beds, a kitchen, cafe, dry and cold storage, freezers and an office,” Cr Williams said. “Ultimately, it is hoped that growing food is a part of everyday life in Greater Bendigo.” In just 12 months the proposed food hub will create 16 new jobs as well as a $2.62 million increase in total output to the Bendigo economy. In five years it will create a at least 30 jobs and a further $330,000 in revenue with an output of $4.75 million into the local economy. – Claire O’Donoghue

Door open for refugees
By LAURA HURLEY
CITY of Greater Bendigo council has opted into a refugee visa program, despite vocal objection from councillor Helen Leach. The Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV) is eligible for asylum seekers who arrived in Australia before July 2013, and requires visa holders to secure work or study in regional areas. SHEV holder would be eligible for income support for 18 months, English language classes, short term trauma and torture counselling and Medicare. Council opted into the program for postcodes 3550 and 3555, with
many councillors speaking passionately about showing compassion at Wednesday night’s meeting despite jeering overheard from the public gallery downstairs. Councillor Rod Fyffe noted that refugees eligible for the SHEV program were not new arrivals, and said experiences in other regional areas showed them to be hard working. “These are not people who are coming here... these are people who are living here already,” Cr Fyffe said. “The assessments for these visas will take three years. These people want to work and study, many of them want to be integrated into
our community. “This is a way for them to become a more significant part of our community by study or work. “We have nothing to fear –we have a very generous spirit.” Cr Leach, the only councillor to vote in opposition to the program, questioned Cr Fyffe’s comments. “How do you know they’re hard working and intelligent?” she asked. “What does Cr Fyffe know about these people?” Cr Rod Campbell’s short response to Cr Leach’s comments invited those opposed to the program to show empathy. “It’s pretty obvious – how
would you like to be treated if you were one them?” Cr Fyffe also noted last week’s announcement by the Catholic Education Office that it planned to provide its own assistance to Syrian and Iraqi refugees who wish to settle in the Sandhurst Diocese, an announcement he described as a “very positive lead from the community”. Cr Fyffe praised the Catholic Education Office for its willingness and leadership in offering to help refugees. ‘‘I think this sends a clear message to us to say that the community is willing to do its bit to help these people.’’

One stop centre to ease victims’ pain VICTIMS of sexual assault and child abuse will no longer have to recount their story over and over again thanks to a new one-stop support centre in Bendigo. The multi-disciplinary centre will give victims access to police, child protection workers and counsellors in a safe place so they can quickly get the health they need. The centre was officially opened yesterday by state minister for police Wade Noonan and minister for families and children Jenny Mikakos. Services at the Bendigo centre will include Sexual Offences Child Abuse
Investigations Team from Victoria Police, child protection from the Department of Health and Human Services, sexual assault counselling for victims and family members from the local Centre Against Sexual Abuse, and nursing and forensic medical services. Mr Noonan said the centre would also assist those suffering from family violence. “Victims of sexual assault and child abuse may suffer less trauma by coming to a safe place where specialists such as police and counsellors can give them the help they need,” he said.
AdvErtiSEMEnt
“This centre will help vulnerable people in Bendigo who are escaping sexual assault or child abuse, often amid a backdrop of family violence.” Ms Mikakos said victims should not have to constantly repeat their stories to different support services. “Victims of sexual assault shouldn’t have to travel from service to service repeating their story each time – this will help them get the support they need in one place,” Ms Mikakos said. Other like-centres have been developed in Dandenong, Geelong, Mildura and Seaford, with a sixth set to open in Morwell later this year.

Ms Hoskin last month sought an injunction in the Court of Appeal to prevent the Australian Islamic Mission from proceeding with plans to build the mosque until a full hearing is held by the Court of Appeal on November 6, but the two presiding judges rejected the application, labelling the appeal documents, in their present form, as “embarrassing”. VCAT has previously dismissed a claim of bias brought about by Ms Hoskin against its president and one of his deputies. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has not ruled on costs associated with the process so far, and while parties are generally expected to pay their own costs for all VCAT matters, circumstances can give rise to one party’s costs being met by the other. Under Section 109 of the VCAT Act, the Tribunal may order that a party shall pay all or part of the costs of another party in a proceeding if they have been responsible for prolonging unreasonably the time taken to complete the proceeding, if they have vexaciously conducted the proceeding, if the relative strength of the claims made have no tenable basis in fact or law, or if they caused an adjournment.

City of Greater Bendigo chief executive officer Craig Niemann said council was continuing to accumulate costs around defending the decision councillors made back in June 2014. Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox this week reiterated the fact that the decision by councilors cannot be reversed. Expensive audio visual equipment and more barriers had to be brought in for this week’s council meeting and additional security employed, and preparation for the November 6 Court of Appeal hearing is ongoing. Mr Niemann said if council thought it appropriate, it would seek to recover legal costs the organisation had incurred. He said council’s legal bills and the associated costs regarding the mosque were more about responding to a council decision and supporting it. “There have been delays because the level of information filed hasn’t been to the standard.” Mr Niemann confirmed the council’s frustrations that the matter, which councilors voted in favour of in June 2014, was still ongoing. “It does draw out the process and adds cost and time,” he said. “It’s frustrating that it has taken this time to get to this point.”

THE Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience will arrive in Bendigo late next month, giving residents and local communities the opportunity to visit the commemorative exhibition. Featuring more than 200 artefacts from the War Memorial in Canberra, exhibition executive director Alison Creagh said Bendigo was the fifth stop for the exhibition, and the last for 2015. “The Spirit of Anzac Experience will be quite a remarkable opportunity for the people of the Bendigo region to visit and see the story of Australia’s involvement in World War I,” Ms Creagh said. “What we’re bringing the people of Bendigo is a series of interactive zones, really telling us a journey of what Australia was like at the
start of the war, why war was declared, setting sail off to war, going to train in Egypt, moving to Gallipoli, into the western front through a trench system, through to serving in the war and the real sacrifice and courage many Australians made. “Then we look at the aftermath of war and the toll it took on those who served and their families.” She said local artefacts and stories would also be featured. “The community zone is really about bringing the story of Bendigo’s experience of World War I,” Ms Creagh said. Bendigo RSL president Cliff Richards said bringing local stories to the exhibition was about building connections between those who served and the present day. “There are a number of local stories that I’ll be excit-

ed to work with the exhibition to put out on the table for people to come along and have a read,” he said. The exhibition will run from November 26 to December 2 at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds, and Ms Creagh said visitors could expect it to be large in scale. “It’s three basketball courts in size – it takes 10 b-double trucks to move it around Australia,” she said. City of Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox said was important to remember the stories of war. “This is a very important (exhibition) where it is remembering the Anzac. We’re very privileged for Bendigo to have it,” Cr Cox said. Entry to the Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience is free, however pre-booking a place is necessary.

High hopes at Weeroona
LAKE Weeroona could soon be home to a four-storey resort. Plans for a four-storey resort style accommodation and functions venue are currently before the City of Greater Bendigo. The planned resort will be situated at the current site of the Lakeview Motor Inn, and is estimated to cost about $9.75 million to construct.
To be named Lakeview Resort, the plans detail a three-storey motel extension including a lounge, bar and function room, as well as modification of the existing car park. The applicant Ollies Family Restaurants is a Shepparton-based company that also owns Quality Hotel Parklake in Shepparton. Quality Hotel Parklake director Matthew Georgiou said the plans were only in their preliminary stages, and said the idea be-
hind the four-storey resort was to utilise the view of Lake Weeroona. “We’re currently doing some initial plans,” Mr Georgiou said.
“
With no development of its kind along the shore of the lake, he said the resort would be an “upper-scale development”.
It’s an extension of what is already there, as well as using a vacant block of land
“It’s an extension of what is already there, as well as using a vacant block of land beside the existing building.”

“The major asset we see is the stunning views of the lake,” Mr Georgiou said. “It’s going to be a bigger ver-
sion of what is there, with upperscale accommodation.” Although he could not provide a timeline of when the development might begin to take shape, Mr Georgiou said he would like to see the resort progress quickly. “We want to progress forward as early as we can,” he said. The Weekly contacted council seeking comment about the planned resort, who were only able to confirm the plans were being considered.
Early Years Plan on display
memories: Damien Jenkyn, Barrie Winzar and Wendy Betts.
Thirty years of White Hills White Hills primary school will mark 30 years at a celebration on Sunday. Attendees at the opening planted 200 trees and former principal Barrie Winzar said they became a useful tool to demonstrate the schools prolonged development. Keeping the trees alive as a point of reference became a labour of love for Mr Winzar and the students, who were organised to carry buckets of water.
On seeing Mr Fordham some time later Mr Winzar said the minister enquired after the tree he had planted, he happily told him the trees had grown enormously, in fact “faster than the school”. Of the many difficulties faced by the planning committee Mr Winzar said one of a lesser degree was the acquisition of non-standard signs for the school. “The education de-
partment standard style signage didn’t really suit the aesthetics of the new school,” he said. “And the department couldn’t supply nonstandard work, but the problem was solved with a few bottles of stout.” Mr Winzar and present principal Damien Jenkyn would like anyone who took part in that march to attend the school’s 30th birthday celebration on Sunday at the Bendigo RSL.
BENDIGO’S youngest can look forward to a bright future, after council voted to release the draft Municipal Early Years Plan on Wednesday night. Currently open for public consultation, the plan focuses on the future delivery of services for children aged zero to eight in the Greater Bendigo region. Actions outlined by the plan include the development of an imagination library to provide one book per month to every child in Bendigo for their first five years, and guidelines to ensure new residential areas have adequate walking and cycling tracks to community spaces. City of Greater Bendigo’s Steven Abbott said the plan was important as children represented some of the highest areas of growth in population in Bendigo over the next 30 years. “It’s helped us to do a lot of planning around our growth areas - Huntley, Strathfieldsaye and Maiden Gully,” Mr Abbott said. “Where we’re seeing the greatest growth in residential population and we need to say – well what does a child
friendly community look like in a new growth area? “And that includes new planned kindergartens with support from the state, it includes more play space, more parks, active travel connections.” The population of zero to four year olds in Greater Bendigo is about 7700, which is forecast to rise by 33 per cent to 2035. Similarly, the population of five to eight year olds in Bendigo is 5900, which due to jump by 42 per cent over the next three decades. Although councillors voted unanimously in favour of releasing the draft plan to public comment, councillor Helen Leach expressed concerns about the scope of the plan. “This policy does not seem to include the unborn,” she said. She further questioned whether UNICEF could be considered “child-friendly” before mayor Peter Cox requested she remain on topic. Mr Abbott said council was aiming to make Bendigo “the most liveable regional city in Australia”, and said consulting with children and family when developing the
plan was an integral part of that. “The experiences, views and opinions of children are as important as anyone else’s,” he said. “We can’t discount the most simplest of views around “I enjoy a play space,” or “I enjoy a park” or “I enjoy a safe environment with friends”. “They’re really critical as they help us understand what young people value.” The plan outlines a target of having 89 per cent of children walking to school by 2020, which Mr Abbott said fell into council’s broader aim to increase transport connectivity throughout the city as well as encourage active lifestyles. “So the vision is that all kids from nought to eight and their families get the best active, healthy and safe community that promotes opportunity, learning and development,” he said. “The plan responds to the city’s population growth… This plan stitches of all (of the city’s goals) together.” The Municipal Early Years Plan 2015-18 will be on public display until November 27.

He is engaged with the Wellsford Forest Conservation Alliance . The 7000 hectare forest of boxironbark has been the subject of an extended campaign to protect it from logging. As the convenor of the Bendigo and District Environment Council, Mr Fraser brought together local conservation groups to form the Wellsford Forest Conservation Alliance. “I am confident that the forest is in good hands at the moment,” Mr Fraser said. “The Victorian Environmental Assessment Council is reviewing the logging of the Wellsford and we are optimistic about the outcome.” While he is pleased and honoured to receive the Environment Victoria award, Mr Fraser said that he would also like to acknowledge the ongoing hard work of fellow environmentalists.

Plans afoot for creek walking track BENDIGO Creek could be the new site of a cycling and walking track. City of Greater Bendigo councillors Peter Cox, Barry Lyons and James Williams were joined by representatives from local organisations on an exploratory bike ride through the creek on Monday to research options on developing an off road track. It is hoped that the development of a Bendigo Creek cycling track will connect existing pathways from Kangaroo Flat to Epsom. Although still in its in-
fancy, plans for the track could see cyclists ride underneath Charing Cross, through Rosalind Park and eventually to Lake Weeroona. Cr Williams said plans to develop the creek into a cycling and walking track brought together many of council’s strategies. “(This) is about informing the public of council’s intent in delivering a whole raft of strategies that are involved,” he said. “This includes the ITLUS strategy, community wellbeing strategy, shared

pathways strategy, our open space strategy, our tourism strategy, water and waterways management.” He highlighted the importance of developing partnerships with businesses and organisations to achieve the track. “What is important about all these initiatives is that we form partnerships, and an understanding in the broader community. “We wish to form a partnership with all of Bendigo to unite in a vision that we can use to spread throughout the Bendigo region.”
Cr Cox echoed Cr Williams sentiments, and said such a track would help support the goals of council’s transport strategy. “We know we haven’t got the (cycling) facilities, but one of the goals is investigating the track along Bendigo creek,” he said. “Can it be utilised? Because safety for cyclists is really paramount. “We want an cycle track from Kangaroo Flat to Epsom that is safe for all ages. “And we think we can achieve that.” – Laura Hurley

Hollywood is coming to Bendigo next March when the Bendigo Art Gallery, along with 20th Century Fox, presents a major exhibition on Marilyn Monroe. Encompassing costumes, films, photos and memorabilia, the exhibition is being promoted as the gallery’s next big blockbuster. Along with the costumes and personal effects the other feature of the exhibition will be the Seward Johnson eight metre sculpture which is to be positioned in the heart of Bendigo. The statue represents the most famous image of
the actress from the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch, imitating the moment a gust of air raises Marilyn’s white dress. The sculpture was inaugurated in 2011 and stood at Pioneer Court in Chicago before being moved to Palm Springs. It has never been seen outside of the US. The sculpture is made from painted stainless steel and aluminium. There are more than 20 original, authentic film costumes worn by Marilyn including the iconic William Travilla gown worn for the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes publicity portrait along with some 20 of Marilyn’s
own personal wardrobe outfits. Highlights include the cocktail dress Marilyn wore to the American Academy of Arts and Letters awards where her husband, the playwright Arthur Miller received a Gold Medal. What will also no doubt be revealed during the exhibition are the somewhat poignant biographical details of Monroe’s life. Behind the glamour of her career was a childhood spent in an orphanage and foster homes, a first marriage at 16 and her tragic death at 36. The show is at the gallery March 5 to July 10.

CHRISTMAS is just around the corner, and following the success of last month’s Eat. Shop. Drink. Bendigo campaign, federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters is partnering up with the City of Greater Bendigo to encourage people to continue to shop and eat local throughout the silly season. Tough Cookie Marketing’s Kathie Bolitho has also joined up to keep the momentum going. Ms Chesters said traders involved in the campaign had given overwhelmingly positive feedback after trading in the CBD had faltered during the August 29 rallies. “Lots of small businesses and traders in this area said it was the worst day they had,” she said. “The following weekend through
a social media campaign… Kath and I encouraged people to get out and Eat. Drink. Shop Bendigo. “And then we had the reverse happen, where we had local traders say it was the best day they had had, or it was the best weekend they’ve had in a long time. “On that success, we thought well let’s just keep it going.” She said the campaign was a positive way of encouraging people to continue to come to Bendigo following the negativity associated with the anti-mosque protests. “It will just continue on that really positive, engaging, fun reminding people that if you’re shopping, come into the heart of Bendigo,” Ms Chesters said. “If you’re wanting to go out for lunch, after work drinks, come into Bendigo.”
City of Greater Bendigo city futures director Stan Liacos said council was happy to back the campaign. “We think it’s a fabulous idea and a fabulous concept, and it’s something that council is very keen to get behind,” he said. “We think to drive an intensive social media campaign in the two and half months until Christmas. And I think the timing is perfect for the obvious reasons.” Ms Bolitho said many of the smaller local businesses and traders had benefitted. “One of the reasons that we decided to keep it going is that the feedback from the traders was they were incredibly positive about it, and they were really pleased that there was someone, as a collective, who came and looked after them,” she said.
Architect chosen for Kalianna E+ARCHITECTURE has been announced as the new architects of the new Kalianna School. The appointment was announced by Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, who said it was exciting to see how quickly progress of the building of the new school is coming along. “The Melbourne and Bendigo based architects e+ architecture have been appointed by
the Department of Education to commence drawing up the master plan for the new Kalianna School,” Ms Edwards said. The architecture company will meet with the school to start building a new school that fits the current teaching and learning model.

Riding for kids A TEAM of 22 Bendigo cyclists plan to ride around Tasmania in February to raise more than $50,000 for children’s charity Very Special Kids. The group will cover 815 kilometres and climb a grueling 12,000 metres during seven days of cycling, in what’s expected to be a very tough and extremely challenging ride. Local rider and prominent business identity Stephen Iser said the group looked forward to contributing to their community through the Tour of Tasmania ride. “We have chosen to raise funds for Very Special Kids to try and make a difference to the Bendigo families supported by the organisation. “These families face many challenges and are not able to enjoy many of things us in the cycling group take for granted,” he said. The Watson family is just one of the Bendigo families expected to benefit from the group’s fundraising efforts. Seven-year-old William Watson and five-year-old Hamish Watson have an extremely rare genetic condition. The brothers are two of only six cases in Australia and 60 reported cases worldwide of the condition, Adenylosuccinate Lyase (AdsL) Deficiency, which causes severe progressive neurological damage to both boys. They require wheelchairs for mobility and suffer from daily
uncontrolled seizure episodes. Mum Natalie Watson said the boys need constant care. “Brian and I are their arms, legs and voice. We help them with every aspect of daily living, from dressing to feeding, monitoring for seizures and turning them over through the night to make them more comfortable,” she said. The family turned to Very Special Kids for respite care at Very Special Kids Hospice, e and counselling through their Family Support Worker. Established in 1985, Very Special Kids supports more than 900 Victorian families caring for children with lifethreatening conditions, including 27 from the Greater Bendigo community.
It is hoped that with the funds raised Very Special Kids will be one step closer to opening an office in Bendigo, which would cost upwards of $100,000 to operate annually. Families in Bendigo are currently serviced by the organisation’s Ballarat office. The Bendigo Tour of Tasmania riders have planned a major fundraising event on Saturday, November 14 at Poyser Motors BMW showroom, with guest speakers, charity and silent auctions. Tickets cost $120 inclusive of canapes, drinks and a two course meal. For more information, contact Geoff O’Sullivan on 0414 414 020. Donations to the Bendigo Tour of Tasmania riders can also be made at bendigotot.org

DARK SECRET: many an evening spent in front of the internet. By CHRIS LIGHTFOOT
THEY say the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem … so here goes. My name is Chris. I have a guilty secret. I’m an addict. I do what thousands of men and hundreds of women do every night when our partners are away or preoccupied or in bed. We creep away into a dark corner of the house or study or garage or man cave with our laptops or tablets or smart phones and start searching. There are those who are brave enough to do it in front of others and ignore the furious comments and murderous stares. On many occasions we have our credit cards nearby in order to view the premium content. Hunched over our screens in darkness, we drink in the images and videos as we search our favourite websites for our current interests.
Sole agents for Country Club Villages
Some evenings I flick through the alluring images and videos, watching in amazement and awe – with a hint of jealousy – at the skill, athleticism, flexibility, endurance, positioning and manoeuvrability. Hungrily absorbing the style, the beauty of the curves, colours, shapes and handling of the equipment, and imagining myself in the videos and images. Other times I flick through the more staid images, normal stuff, that’s exciting but not as stimulating or imaginative. Yes, I’m a bike porn addict. I secretly steal away into the study, with the lights off and start searching road and mountain bike videos and the on–line stores. I’ll gaze longingly at the super expensive wheels, wistfully imagining them on my bike as I ride with the Saturday morning bunch or racing on them. Other times it’s pure
necessity: new tyres, tubes, cleats or clothing, to replace last year’s favourite team kit. Finally, poring over video clips of talented cyclists doing crazy stunts on expensive road bikes, road cyclists riding iconic roads and climbing mountains that we watch the professionals climb during grand tours, mountain cyclists with GoPros riding through stunning off-road scenery or drones showing cyclists completing Bendigo’s own Andy’s Trail. You all know what happens when our partners walk in. “Oh no! Not again. What are you buying this time? You never spend this amount of time searching for my gifts. “Why don’t you spend time with me instead of looking at bike porn?” Many cyclists around the country share my guilty little secret. Yes I have a problem – I’m a bike porn addict.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 16, 2015
Future bright for Campaspe IN 1964, winter and spring were comparatively wet seasons along the Campaspe River, with almost 660 millimetres of rain falling at Lauriston, well above the winter and spring average of 474mm. Downstream, Redesdale recorded 489mm, also much higher than the seasonal average of 333mm. In most other years, that rainfall would provide the iconic river red gums along the Campaspe banks all the way to Echuca with a vital drink in preparation for the long, dry summer ahead. It would stir up waterbugs to allow platypus to feed and would let fish know it was spawning season. However, in 1964, one thing stood in the way — earth and rock 45 metres high and more than 1000 metres long. Months earlier, Premier Henry Bolte had officially ended construction of the Eppalock Dam wall, proclaiming Bendigo as “droughtproof”. The Eppalock Dam has supported the irrigation industry and provided vital water security for Bendigo. It has also resulted in environmental challenges for the river downstream to Echuca, which needed to be addressed. More than 50 years of regulation has taken its toll by reversing the natural flow patterns. The iconic river red gums along the Campaspe’s banks, many of which have been there since pre-European settlement, are stressed. Native fish, reptile and mammal numbers have declined, and vegetation has become stressed. The Millennium Drought also hit the river hard. The scarcity of natural and irrigation flows resulted in pooling and, in some stretches, the river running dry. In more recent years, low flows resulted in a black water event in
2007, which killed fish and crustaceans. Then, record 2010-11 floods decimated a lot of fringing and instream vegetation in the Campaspe, habitat and nourishment that is vital for the food chain. Since 2013, the North Central Catchment Management Authority has helped to deliver a new environmental water entitlement held by the Victorian Environmental Water Holder. “We started managing environmental flows to the river in 2005, but it has only been in the past three years we have been able to introduce the range of much needed flows for the river,” North Central CMA program delivery executive manager Emer Campbell said. “During the drought we tried to keep alive what we could. It was a real challenge. “From 2013 onwards we have been able to focus on high and base flows, helping the river recover from drought and flood, and building resilience for the future.” Environmental flows have had a strong impact. Since 2013, monitoring has unveiled a significant increase in the health of the river. Fish numbers and variety are always good indications of river health, and recent surveys along the Campaspe have revealed impressive results. “One standout is the MurrayDarling rainbowfish. They haven’t been recorded in the system for more than 80 years and they are there now,” Ms Campbell said. “Another success story is the dwarf flathead gugdeon. It was found in the Campaspe for the first time ever this year. This fish was only recorded in nine of 351 sites across the entire Lower Murray system. “We hope the numbers increase in next year’s survey. There are also strong populations of other smallbodied fish like carp gudgeon, flat-
REFIT FOR TOWN HALL THE first stage of major conservation works at the Bendigo Town Hall will start on Monday. The works include restoration of the balcony and portico roofs, flagpole replacement and associated structural repairs, bird proofing and painting of timber work. City of Greater Bendigo council’s Andy Walker, said the project is part of staged conservation works at the Town Hall expected to continue over the next few years. “The Bendigo Town Hall is one of our most valuable community assets so it is important that we invest in its upkeep to ensure this magnificent facility is available for future generations to enjoy,” he said. “Over the next few years further staged works are expected to include external façade repairs, restoration work and the use of a new (paint) coating system designed to protect the outside of the building.”
HEALTHIER: River species are flourishing. head gudgeon and the Australian smelt in the river. The presence of these small fish indicates a river that is getting healthier.” Recreational anglers are also benefitting from environmental flows, regularly catching fish such as the golden perch and iconic Murray cod. “Anglers are telling us they are very happy with the numbers of fish they are catching in the Campaspe,” Ms Campbell said. “The fact that they are reporting these catches, especially the Murray cod, is a good sign numbers are strong.” Environmental flows have also been pivotal in the re-emergence of reptiles and mammals. “The Murray River turtle has been recorded in the Campaspe for the first time, both adults and juveniles,” Ms Campbell said. “We have also worked hard to protect our platypus population. There are very few platypuses downstream of Echuca in the Murray River. The Campaspe is a very important source of juvenile platypus
and we need to provide the right conditions for them to breed in the Campaspe and migrate to the Murray and recolonise.” There is little doubt the 145km stretch of the Campaspe River from the Eppalock Dam to the Murray River has significant environmental value. “Yes, it vital we continue to help the river recover from droughts and floods, and build resilience, but management of the Campaspe is much more than that. “The North Central CMA is committed to enhancing the health of the Campaspe River by managing environmental flows carefully. In turn, a healthy river is good for the social fabric of the Campaspe community,” Ms Campbell said. Water is part of the social-fabric that, for many reasons, binds communities together. It is vital for social, economic and environmental health. A healthy river ensures irrigators, anglers, bushwalkers, swimmers, canoeists and campers can enjoy it for generations to come.
DISPOSE OF GREEN WASTE EARLY fire warnings and an extremely hot spring have prompted the City of Greater Bendigo council to urge residents to dispose of their green waste. Eaglehawk and Heathcote landfill sites will allow residents to dispose of their green waste free of charge on the weekends of October 24 and 25 and November 21 and 22. Mayor Cr Peter Cox said providing the free green waste diposal weekends will encourage residents to clear their properties before summer. “I encourage residents to take advantage of this free opportunity to dispose of their green waste,” he said. “It will help to minimise fire risk during the summer months.” Both Landfill sites are open from 8am to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday.

Views of the rally As a resident of Bendigo I attended the anti/pro mosque demonstrations on Saturday as an observer. The police did a marvellous job. Each group was confined to different sides of the Bendigo creek, with the adjoining footpath being blocked by the police. Each side has a tendency to exaggerate their claims. The anti-mosque group believes that building the mosque is part of the Islamisation of Australia leading to the full scale application of Sharia law. They clearly underestimate the power of our democracy to ensure that will never happen. The pro-mosque group claims that the anti group are racists. Islam does not constitute a race. It appears to me that the pro group are desperate for a cause to demonstrate their moral and intellectual superiority, and in the absence of a viable cause have focused on the anti-mosque group. This is ironic given that there are parts of Islam which are the most racist of all religions. As part of my research into Islam I purchased a copy of the Koran on eBay for $1, and that included the postage. It’s true that part of Islam advocates tolerance towards others. But, it’s also true that other parts advocate hatred and violence towards those who will not submit to Islam. It’s this latter part which motivates Muslim terrorism and is mistakenly referred to as extremism. It’s not extremism to follow what is clearly stated in the holy texts of your religion. In terms of our laws which forbid the advocating of hatred and violence, there are parts of the Koran that should be banned. If the Muslim community is serious about becoming an integral part of any modern western democratic society then they should be at the forefront of expunging the hatred and violence from their religious texts. I find the practise of Muslim women wearing a head scarf offensive. Firstly, the head scarf represents women being made responsible for any licentious thoughts of males. The idea of blaming the victim for the thoughts and actions of others is something that modern western societies have rejected. Secondly, at a personal level, the head scarf is saying that as an individual male I cannot be trusted
to look upon the hair of Muslim women. However, I defend the right of Muslim women to offend me with their head scarfs. To claim that the anti-mosque group divides the Bendigo Community is to devalue the importance of the freedom of speech. In her biography of the French philosopher Voltaire, and as a way of representing his philosophy, Evelyn Beatrice Hall stated that “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. This is often misattributed to Voltaire himself. The claim that a majority of Bendigo residents support the building of the mosque is based on wishful thinking, or political manipulation. In fact, the only survey on the matter was conducted by a local radio station which resulted in a majority being opposed to the building of the mosque. The mosque will be built because there is no legal means to stop it from being built. I’m pleased that Bendigo has been able to play a part in demonstrating that the freedom of speech is alive and well in Australia. If we lived in a country governed by Islam we would not have that right. The only thing which needs to unite the residents of Bendigo is the belief in the freedom of speech, and the rejection of the advocating of hatred and violence in all of its forms.

Mermaid a winner Just recently I saw a video of a concert the Little Mermaid put on by the White Hills Primary School. How proud it makes one feel that even in today’s world there are teachers, parents, volunteers and young students themselves giving up their time and working so hard to put on a musical concert for one to enjoy. Not only the concert itself, but the many hours days and weeks prior to the leading up to the big event, arranging of costumes, scenery lighting, stage production music and much more the makes the big night so enjoyable not forgetting teaching our young students how to entertain. How proud parents should feel that their young children should give up their playtime for a concert to be remembered for a lifetime. It should make us all feel so

Pay their own way There was a very interesting full page advertisement in the Weekly (October 9) which should be of concern and a wake up call to all residents. In an information piece put out by council that was at least six months late, it stated that as with all buildings owned by an organisation claiming to be religious no rates would be raised by council. This is a farcical situation that allows all religious institutions, not just Islam, no matter how large or how very wealthy, to get away with not paying their dues. They claim they are all charitable institutions which is just a farce; they are a business, they are run like a business and should be forced to pay their rates and taxes just like any other business. The only charity some like the mushrooming Pentecostal churches give is to their own members in the form of tax deductible donations, allowing them to purchase vast tracts of land used as an investment on which they pay no rates. This situation has become even worse lately with a call from the Royal Commission into institutional child sex abuse for a national government (taxpayer funded) compensation scheme for victims.
This would allow institutions like the Catholic, Anglican and Salvation Army churches along with others to keep their massive combined wealth intact. We also have the Muslim leaders calling for government funds for a de-radicalisation scheme for youths radicalised in their mosques and associated buildings. As with funds paid to Muslim schools, no one is ever able to trace where it goes to so why should we (the tax payer) have to pay to solve something for what took place on Muslim property, after all the Muslim Association seems to have unlimited funds to build a Mosque? It is time all religious institutions paid their way and should be made claim deductions for any charitable work for the broad community they can prove they have undertaken. This system of allowing religious institutions to not pay their way in society dates back hundreds of years when those institutions were able to use massive power over the community and governments and it is time it stopped.

Time to go Cr Weragoda’s comments saying that the matters which placed him before the conduct panel “it’s been too long now” would indicate one of two things to me. He does not know how the judicial system works or he is the one that has dragged this matter out so long for some reason or another. To hold a public office such as a councillor your character and conduct must be beyond reproach, sadly Cr Weragoda I feel you have failed in both cases here by having such a high blood alcohol count (.125%) that your judgement is impaired to such and extent that you would even contemplate driving. More importantly you denied the offence not only to the press and your fellow councillors, but more importantly us the ratepayers. I believe that you should have been removed from your position as a councillor immediately the full facts around this case were known, one can only hope this is the view the panel takes to not only keep its integrity intact but also that of council.

YOU’RE INVITED
A new Discovery CONGRATULATIONS again to the many individuals, businesses and groups that stepped up to the plate to help the besieged Discovery Science and Technology Centre though its recent financial uncertainties and doldrums. Wednesday night’s drawn out City of Greater Bendigo council meeting covered off many important decisions, projects and policies, but to supporters of the venue most of us know simply as Discovery, Item 1.2, namely a response to a community led petition, was the most important. Council has agreed to provide the Discovery Centre with $40,000 this financial year and to consider further funding in future years as part of those relevant budget deliberations. Councillors have also agreed to extend the existing lease arrangements for another three years beyond 2016 so long as the newly installed and re-vitalised committee
of management can demonstrate the Discovery Centre’s financial viability. That the two petitions responded to this week by the councillors originated out of class rooms at Big Hill and Quarry Hill primary schools cannot go unnoticed. Almost 600 students from both schools signed the two petitions. At one occasion, students were part of a giant effort to encircle the iconic Discovery Centre in a hug. Important lessons have been learnt from all this – by council, by the Discovery Science and Technology Centre’s staff and management and of course by the students who laid bare their passion and belief. These young campaigners have also learnt an important lesson that should make them feel especially proud of the fact that their views and opinions have a place in our community. Their relative youth is no barrier to the students holding or ex-

pressing such views or importantly, being heard. Not a bad thing in a city that professes to be Australia’s first child friendly city. Congratulations are in order to all of these groups, and the rest of us should also take some comfort in the fact that as a result of the changes that have been implemented and the additional impetus and momentum the Discovery Centre has received accordingly, the community has a much stronger asset to enjoy. For the new Committee of Management to emerge from the shadow of the Bendigo Trust under whose auspices the centre previously ran, this is all equally exciting. Change has brought clarity about who and what the Discovery Centre is and its purpose for Bendigo. That’s another win – for both Discovery, the Bendigo Trust and for Bendigo.

There’s no doubt the City of Greater Bendigo – and every other level of government, needs to maintain good representation and that means good people need to be willing to step up and put themselves forward to serve the community.

THEY say timing is everything, but a few of us in the newsroom were left scratching our heads yesterday at the calls from the City of Greater Bendigo for candidates to look towards next year’s local government elections. It’s probably fair to say that our elected representatives have never been more under siege than they are right now. But it’s also fair to say that it is totally unacceptable that democratic meetings of council should not be able to proceed unhindered and with a surety that the business of council can be conducted openly. Sadly, that’s not the case – at least not at the moment. It’s a sad reflection to have to make as I write this column that we are ‘celebrating’ the fact Wednesday’s public council meeting was able to proceed, and to conclude its marathon four hour, 332-page agenda. That should be a given every time. Just like it used to be. But sadly, these are different times.

Fabian’s life as a river I
BELIEVE that in all our lifetimes we are part of a river and you get to contribute to the health and wellness of the river or you can pollute it. These are the wise words of Fabian Dattner, a woman who passionately and purposefully has chosen the former for her life’s journey. On Monday Dattner will be in Bendigo to front Courage or Confidence – A conversation with Fabian Dattner at the Ulumbarra Theatre, where she will share her thoughts on career growth, leadership and making positive change. Dattner is an effective and creative strategist. Her business, Dattner Grant, focuses on helping leaders to ‘do the right thing’, although Dattner has a strong personal interest in enhancing women. She is a State finalist in the 2015 Telstra Business Women’s Awards and cannot wait to share her message about the need for gender equality in leadership. “The failure of women to take up or stay in leadership makes a lot of blokes suspicious,” Dattner said. “They assume that women don’t stay in leadership roles because they don’t want them or, more brutally, because they don’t have the skills necessary.

AR from Home is a collection of three songs that illustrate aspects of Bendigo musician Steve Saxton’s musical wanderings Saxton will introduce his new band The Gentlemen at a launch of their EP on Saturday at the Engine Room. The Gentlemen consists of a group of skilled and experienced musicians who have played at festivals ranging from Port Fairy Folk Festival to Glastonbury in the UK. Some of the band members are well known Bendigo musicians. The Gentlemen consists of Tyson Hodges (lead guitar), Bradley Bradford (bass guitar), Brenton Rice (keyboard) and Jayme Tolley (drums) Hodges is well known for his guitar work over a number of years performing in bands such as Ethanol. Tyson also has his own project Band of Cloud.
Bradford has recently arrived in Bendigo from the UK, where he has been involved in music for many years and where his band Tree Frogs played several times at the Glastonbury Festival as well as having supported artists such as Joan Armatrading. Rice not only brings to the band his amazing keyboard skills but flexibility with an added guitar if needed as well as backing vocals. He has also toured internationally. On drums is well regarded local musician Jayme Tolley.

“From my perspective they are simply not aware of the immense gifts women bring to the way we lead in our world today.” For Dattner kindness to one another, especially for women towards each other, is more important than cleverness and is what’s needed to address women’s “massive and enduring minority at the leadership table”. “I don’t think it’s in a woman’s nature to pollute the river. I think that is our gift. What we have done is that we are not valuing our collective ability… so our voices are incredibly absent in the dialogue of the future,” she said.

UN, surf and songs will be the order of the day at Queenscliff Music Festival, which runs from November 27 to 29. Boasting an impressive lineup including Angus and Julia Stone, the Hoodoo Gurus and Something For Kate’s Paul Dempsey, Augie March’s lead guitarist Adam Donovan said the band were looking forward to taking to the stage at Queenscliff. Speaking to the Weekly, Donovan said the band was looking forward to playing to festival crowds following a national tour earlier this year. “We played at Queenscliff a
few years ago now,” he said. “I just found the crowd there were wonderful and we got a warm reception.” Augie March skyrocketed to national prominence following the release of their third album Moo You Bloody Choir a decade ago, and have remained festival favourites with the subsequent release of two more critically acclaimed EPs. With a six year gap between the release of their fourth EP Watch Me Disappear in 2008 and their fifth EP Havens Dumb last year, Donovan said the band had decided to take an extended
hiatus between the albums. “We had never really had a break before – it was nice for everyone to go for their own personal projects,” he said. “I did some travelling, tried to learn a new language. I lived over in Berlin during that time.” He said following the break, the band had fallen back into the swing of things easily. “It was good for us. It’s difficult enough to make a record, and it’s still a difficult process, but it wasn’t too difficult to step back into it.” Born in Bendigo and raised in Shepparton, Donovan said his
country Victorian roots meant he was often drawn back out to regional areas. “Earlier this year we were supposed to play at the Ulumbarra, but something went wrong and we had to play in a different venue. “Bendigo is a nice place beautiful architecture.” Although he remained tight lipped on what the band’s plans are following the festival, Donovan said a sixth album was inevitable. “It’s been unspoken that it’s going to happen,” he said. - Laura Hurley

E decided to move the horses on to the house paddock to save on the need for grass cutting. Grass cutting in a good year is an endless time with the mower or slasher, but this year it’s all a bit quiet on the grass front. Nevertheless, the long-suffering Mrs Kendall decided the horses should eat the grass outside our back door. As a precaution I was instructed to run electric tape around the area to contain them. Why three strands of white tape would hold back three monster horses is beyond me, but they have a certain respect for an electric fence. Pug immediately straddled the fence and managed three good shocks before retiring hurt. He will go anywhere for a tasty meal of chicken poo, but this one was beyond the fence. Zip the kelpie managed to touch the fence once, only once, before running off to hide under the verandah. This is despite me having three signs clearly marking the fence as
electric. Dogs huh. The hens seemed oblivious to the fence on their daily travels, but one afternoon one must have connected. She didn’t lay an egg, but she did sound as if she was about to. The hen was in a cluster of feathered friends, and immediately set about blaming them all for her shock. I was half expecting roast chicken, but she came through unscathed. The cat in its aloofness barely acknowledged the fence was there, and scooted underneath with ease. Funnily enough, the horses managed to steer well clear, as if they had a sixth sense. They seemed very organised in keeping away from the pain. The newest in the gang, Fatso, spent a few minutes running around in his new confines, trying to fire up the two older mares but to no avail. The two old troupers decided grass was the order of the day. So a day on the grass and plenty of water and they looked in their ele-
ment. It was quite good to have them close to the house to see what they got up to. Happy horses are a joy to behold, and they retired for the night full of grass and happy after a day of basking in the sun. I was tired out after a day messing about in the paddocks and went to bed with the windows open, it was a hot day and it continued into the night. I have been woken by many things in my time, but at about 1am on Sunday morning there was something new. A strangled trumpet noise woke me first and then the unmistakable sound of a fart. A large one. At first I blamed Mrs K, but then the volume and duration grew so much, I knew it was beyond her capability, even on a good day. Mind you, I don’t know what she’d be like on grass. - Steve Kendall Twitter: @stevekendall1

RUE crime writer, Mark Tedeschi QC, presents an unnerving account of Australia’s first case of a child-kidnapping for ransom. Tedeschi, Senior Crown Prosecutor for NSW, brings to light the story of Graeme Thorne, an innocent child who was cruelly deprived of his life in the most appalling way. When kidnapper Stephen Bradley heard of the Thorne family’s lottery win in Bondi, Sydney, he was overcome by greed and selfishness. Believing that he was more deserving of the money than the Thornes, Bradley plotted to stage a kidnapping for ransom of the second youngest child of the family, Graeme. When the kidnapping of Graeme, who was only eight years old, went horribly wrong, Bradley was forced to make a split second decision. This decision changed not only his
life, but the Thorne family’s life forever. The only good thing that came of the tragedy was that Graeme Thorne’s case led to significant advancements in the field of forensic science. Tadeschi retells the inquest in detail and then the capture of Bradley. Even though we know what happened to little Graeme, Tedeschi’s taut narrative keeps the reader thoroughly engaged. - Claire O’Donoghue

From labourer to director I
NDIVIDUALS frequently can through their deliberate changes of circumstances create opportunities for themselves which previously would not have come to light. One of these individuals is a man named Arthur Paul, who rose from being a labouring boy lead miner to become a underground boss at the Windmill Hill Mine then going on to manage what at one time was a premier mine for George Lansell. After Mr Paul had through his own diligence improved himself sufficiently to be able to leave the physical work to others, he then planned the best way that a mine could be developed. Situated immediately outside the Chum Street entrance gates to Fortuna Villa, was Bendigo’s tallest poppet heads that of the Lansell 222 Mine. This mine is on the New Chum Line of Reef, and it along with another Lansell mine, the 180, immediately to the north helped to keep the Fortuna Battery occupied 24 hours a day. The 222 had also the largest air compressor on this goldfield, it supplying three of Lansell’s mines in the immediate vicinity. Mr Paul had been able to convince the directors of these mines the logic of economies of scale. As with many of the more
prominent mine managers in Bendigo he belonged to the Mine Managers’ Association. Some of these managers were also his friends including the manager of Lansell’s 180 Mine, James Northcott. Was it Northcott who convinced Mr Paul to become involved in music or did he like many people of Cornish extraction have music drilled into him from an early age at the chapel? Mr Paul became a member of the Sandhurst Ethiopian Serenaders (SES) he specialised in dance as well as song. The charitable efforts that he was involved in with the SES were essential at a time when there was no such thing as mother government that one could run to in time of need. From 1878 for a period of 10 years, Mr Paul helped to guide the fortunes of the 222 he had what most would have considered a comfortable position. Yet Arthur decided that he wanted a fresh challenge, this time away from gold. The metals that were to become important to him were silver, lead and copper, he having secured a mine management position in the Barrier Ranges at booming Broken Hill. A farewell and presentation had been arranged by the Mine Managers’ Association
for Mr Paul at the View point Hotel in Charing Cross. There were the leading mine managers present as well as engineers and mining investors who appreciated the fact that Mr Paul had an opinion of his own. As it was stated, ‘Arthur was generally respected and liked’, he also was a man who practised and showed humility. The men working for him had confidence and faith in his decisions, he also shared the same esteem amongst his fellow managers as he had been elected to serve in 1887 as president of the association. Mine managers according to John Delbridge had to practice intelligence which came largely from their own practical experience. Bendigo mine managers were not well paid. A complimentary banquet was held for Mr Paul, it being presided over by the mayor of Bendigo Thomas J Connelly. Many important people were at this function including several members of parliament and even George Lansell the Quartz King himself. A handsome gold locket was presented to the guest of honour as well as a case of mathematical
The Sting Kate Kyriacou
I
F there’s one book that every Australian adult should read (and every child should be told about at an appropriate time), it’s The Sting. This is both a fascinating stepby-step account of the genius that eventually tripped up one of the country’s most dangerous pedophiles and a warning to unsuspecting mainstream citizens that psychopaths of this ilk are moving freely among us. Since the morning on which Daniel Morcombe’s disappearance was first reported in December 2003, Kate Kyriacou – chief crime writer for the Courier-Mail newspaper in Queensland – has followed the case of the shy, quiet 13-year-old who set out from his family home on the Sunshine Coast early one Sunday afternoon to get a haircut and buy Christmas presents and never returned. Local police quickly assembled a list of persons of interest – among them a twice-convicted child rapist who had already served three years in jail for two earlier attacks. Although investigators were convinced Brett Cowan was their man they were unable to find even the barest shred of evidence linking him to the missing boy, and with a reasonable alibi he appeared to be beyond their reach. Rather than deter them,
CHANGED: Arthur Paul instruments which would not only serve as a memory of Bendigo but be invaluable for him in the management of the North Mine at Broken Hill. One of Bendigo’s leading mine carpenters Mr J Casley had been induced by Arthur Paul to give up his employment at the Fortuna Works and accompany him to the Silver City. At Broken Hill Arthur Mr Paul acquitted himself well and also helped to launch a number of new companies in this way it made him financially independent and become a company director. Arthur had a beautiful property at Brighton, where he passed away aged 68 in 1903, far away from his Cornish birthplace of Parranzabuloe.
however, this potentially insurmountable roadblock merely inspired the team to adopt an innovative, demanding and resourceintensive approach: working with colleagues in Victoria and Western Australia, Queensland police devised an elaborate covert operation to convince Cowan he was being recruited as the newest member of a bicoastal criminal syndicate. The one thing standing in his way? He would need to confess to “the gang” of undercover officers any previous crimes, including specifically his role, if any, in Daniel’s abduction. The unfolding events make for a fast-faced, twisting and turning storyline with all the hallmarks of a Hollywood script but with one gigantic asterisk: the victims in this sickening scenario are entirely real. - Rosalea Ryan

A day out for a good cause will raise awareness of Down syndrome in the community
S
TEP Up for Down syndrome is hoping it’s inaugural Bendigo and Horsham fundraising events will result in increased fund raising. They aim to pass the $100,000 mark when their efforts are combined with funds raised at their other events during October and November. Down Syndrome Victoria executive officer Sue O’Riley says the organisation’s major fundraising events for the year benefitted from the dedication of volunteers in both regional and metropolitan areas. “For the first time this year we’ll have an event at Lake Weeroona in Bendigo and Lake Natimuk near Horsham, joining our other events throughout Victoria, ”Sue said. Bendigo particpants will undertake a walk around Lake Weeroona before enjoying lunch and free entertainment on the lawns. The event starts from 9.30am this Sunday, October 18. Eaglehawk resident Rebecca Quinn and her family were regular
participants of Step Up for Down syndrome (formerly Buddy Walk) in Melbourne, where families and friends would enjoy an annual walk to raise awareness of Down syndrome. “The first year we participated in the then Buddy Walk was the first year Wil was walking,” Rebecca said. Eight-year-old Wil is going to lead his team, Walking With Wil, around the lake. The walk will be followed by free activities, including a dance performance from emotion21, a dance troupe for individuals with Down syndrome. “Step Up helps to raise awareness of people with Down syndrome in our community and show their potential. “Hopefully Down Syndrome Victoria will be able to use the funds to assist people in central Victoria with day-to-day assistance and helping us navigate through the NDIS roll-out,” Rebecca said. www.stepupfordownsyndrome.org. au/event/stepup-bendigo2015

OOD health involves a balance of emotional, mental and physical states. Naturopathy involves finding the cause of ill health rather than focusing on the symptoms. Successful results are achieved by utilising nutrition, diet modification, detoxification, herbal medicine and iridology to support the body’s own healing power. Naturopathic Connections’ Nicola Pilon treats a range of problems including acne, anxiety, chronic fatigue, menopause, migraine, asthma, eczema and more. “Naturopathy is extremely effective in enhancing the body’s natural ability to maintain optimum health,” Nicola said. “For me the practise is about educating clients and giving them tools to enable them to lead a healthier lifestyle with more energy and vitality.” A keen focus for Nicola is detoxification programs, particularly those of the digestive system and those for balancing metabolism and aiding in weight loss. “I have a special interest in the digestive system
and I have had a great response from clients who have made small, but specific changes to their diet.” Clients’ current and past health issues, sleeping patterns, diet and exercise regimes are noted before a personalised program is tailored to the individual’s specific needs. During the initial stages of the program you will be guided by professional support in choosing healthy diet and lifestyle habits that will become long lasting and will make the difference in achieving and maintaining your goals Nicola says. “Identifying and targeting weight issues is the first step towards achieving optimal health and wellness. “Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is not only important for overall health, but is necessary in the prevention and progression of many diseases and conditions.” For further information on general health and well-being contact Naturopathic Connections on 5444 3211. www.naturopathicconnections.com.au

Susie and Lyn invite you to call in and see their exciting collection of exclusive labels including Jenny Scott Sorrento; fashion that is suitable for casual occasions through to afterfive wear for the style conscious women. This distinctive and exclusive Australian label is both designed and crafted in Melbourne by a small but dedicated team of true artisans under the direction of Jenny Scott with a range of comfortable and durable clothing including tops, skirts, dresses, vests, pants and jackets. Marion and Me also stock apparel from the Ark Clothing Company, another stylish label that inspires creative wardrobes with ethically crafted Australian garments. At Marion & Me they judge their success on their customers experience, not on turnover – not like other boutiques. “The style and quality you’ll find at Marion & Me is truly unique, leading to many

of our clients buying more than just the one item,” Susie said. ‘We might be a small boutique but with our range of designer labels we can usually find a complementary item no matter what the occasion.” Marion & Me, 37 Williamson Street Bendigo, phone 5444 1209 – open Monday through to Saturday.

ZOOM ZOOM: Patricia Coutie in her Plymouth coupe.
Who said retirement was boring?
P
ATRICIA Coutie of Bendigo’s Domain Village arrived in style at the Men’s Hobby night in her late husband’s restored Plymouth coupe last week to attend the village’s inaugural hobby night. The evening was a tremendous success according to village management with more than 100 residents and visitors attending the social get together which featured a barbecue and display. From spanners to paintbrushes there was something of interest for the many people who attended the evening which showcased many of the residents’ endeavours. Resident Charles Eastley, recovering from a recent illness, had on display his remarkable three storey, handmade dolls’ house, along with all the furnishings.
AMILIES looking for a relaxing and fun-filled day of children’s activities, fine food and free entertainment need look no further than the Castlemaine Steiner School’s Spring Fair. This popular event kicks off at 10am on Saturday, November 7 with Maypole dancing and musical performances from many of the students. After bidding on a host of silent auction prizes, Christmas shopping from a range of handcrafted market stalls and sampling some home cooked food, relax and soak up the atmosphere from the comfort of the chai tent or coffee shop. A host of activities will keep the children happy all day. Enjoy all the traditional favourites pony rides, tractor rides and the dunking tank, alongside the fun of gold panning,
mouse hunting and an old fashioned coconut shy. Creative activities include t-shirt painting, boat building and candle making. The fair’s smallest visitors and their parents can play and relax in the magical children’s garden, hunting for crystals, making bread and enjoying a puppet play. The fair also provides the ideal opportunity to view the school grounds and display of students’ work while talking to teachers about the benefits of a Steiner education. Castlemaine Steiner School and Kindergarten Spring Fair from 10am until 3pm on Saturday, November 7 on the corner of Rilens Road and Pyrenees Highway, Muckleford.
Many other residents seem to have taken to the water with a selection of model boats. However Brian Palmer had other interests and turned his hand to manufacturing a range of working small engines with his engineering dexterity. Not everything was to a smaller scale though with several historic cars wheeled out for the occasion as well. To see what the men of Bendigo Domain Village on the McIvor Highway in Junortoun have been up to, their next open day will be Saturday, November 14, between 11am and 2pm. Meanwhile to find out more about the benefits of a Domain Village Lifestyle phone 1800 550 364 or view their website www.countryclubvillages.com.au for more information.

HERE is now no need to disregard your old, pre-loved quality furniture. Nigel Hale from Hale Upholstery in Powells Avenue will bring it into the 21st century. “It is often false economy to buy cheaper, imported furniture which only lasts a few years, compared to reupholstering your older quality pieces from the 60s and 70s,” Nigel said. “If the frames a bit wobbly I can fix that too.” In close to 20 years in business Nigel has noticed a significant increase in his clients wanting truly individual quality furnishings. And in keeping with the trend towards extended outdoor living Nigel is now also manufacturing custom outdoor furniture, available in a huge range of new synthetic UV reistant fabrics that are both mold and water resistant.
Nigel will skillfully manufacture individual or specifically designed quality furniture suitable for any area and occasion, as a one-off or part of a suite for your home, company or organisation. “People are starting to get fed up with furniture falling to bits and want something that will be built to last,” Nigel said. “Customers can even supply their own fabrics, in fact I’ve even had customers return from overseas with material they’ve brought back especially.” Or alternatively you can select the fabric of your choice from the display in the Hale Upholstery showroom which is full of the latest designs and prints. Hale Upholstery, at 70 Powells Avenue, phone 5442 7499. Open Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 4.30pm – appointments recommended.

UYING blinds and awnings directly from Brian Wellington ensures that you will have your installation done for free enabling you to make a huge saving. With 30 years’ experience in the industry, Brian is able to offer a full service in central Victoria to home owners or builders. He can install new blinds, do repairs and replacement on all window products. Brian says he is fortunate to be an authorised re-seller of the Ziptrak range. The product development of the outdoor Ziptrak system allows you to use your valuable family patio area 12 months of the year insulating against the elements. The beauty of this system is that it also connects the indoors to the outdoors. With the patented Ziptrak balanced spring system it is as simple as pulling the blind
down either full length or stopping at any point. There are no gaps down the sides, no zips, cords, ropes or wires. the system can also be used to replace the old automatic arm awnings to cover most window styles. The Ziptrak Internal Track Guided System is ideal for the baby’s room, shift workers, theatre rooms, security or anywhere where you want to have a full block-out of light. It also features the patented Ziptrak balanced spring system which is similar to the Ziptrak outdoor product and allows you to control it with a simple pull or push of the bottom rail. For a free measure and quote either on site or off the plan Brian is just a call away. Contact Brian on 0418 506 542 or like him on facebook

ENDIGO Electronics, where the staff are tech savvy and friendly, are always stocking new and exciting product lines. We can help you with everything from batteries, leads, wire and cable, CB radios, tools, components, lighting, plugs, TV brackets, accessories and lots more - even model railway components. Leading into summer Bendigo Electronics have stocked up on a couple of lines that are very popular this time of year, and for good reason. First is the solar powered, snake repeller. While they look like a garden light (which is also built-in) the store says this solar-powered device is very simple and easy to use. Just place the unit in the ground, switch it on, and the unit sends a sound and vibration pulse through the ground. The snakes, sensing danger, slide
for the hills. The snake repellers are priced at only $39.95 each with discounts for multi buys of two for $70 and four for $120. The store hast received more Uniden, UBCD396XLT digital and analogue frequency scanners. With the CFA move to the digital network your old analogue scanner cannot hear that important information you need to hear while protecting your home this fire season. The store offers this scanner with various bundle options such as an antenna for the car or home, and even pre-programming so that all you have to do is take it home and switch it on. Bendigo Electronics 167 to 169 Lyttleton Terrace, Bendigo. Telephone 5444 4044.

Come in and meet our beautiful little man. He has a face that we all love and an awesome personality to go with it. He is still only young and has basic manners, so would benefit from further training. He isn’t very fond of other dogs though, so needs to go to a home where he is the only dog. If you think you have what it takes to give this boy the amazing home that he deserves, then give us a call or come in and say hello.

Bagshot takes a win By MELLAD IBRAHIMI
THE Northern United Cricket Association kicked off last weekend with both grand finalists losing in shock upsets. But the performance of the round goes to last year’s semi finalists Bagshot (1-224) who thrashed Goornong (146) by a stunning 78 runs led by wicket-keeper Ashley Patterson. He smashed 120 runs while bowler Aaron Wheelhouse returned figures of 5/19 off 7.4 overs. Bagshot got off to a rocky start losing captain and opener Marc Sherwell for just two runs before Patterson and opener Stefan Anderson dominated in a match winning 222 run partnership. Goornong’s bowlers struggled well throughout the day with opening bowler Carl Thiesz (1-51 off eight) the only Goornong player taking a wicket. In contrast to Bagshot, Goornong started off well in their difficult run chase before collapsing towards the end. Openers O’Connell and McNamara opened with a 59 run partnership before a midorder collapse saw them lose 4/26 and then eventually they were bowled for 146. Meanwhile reigning premiers Calivil’s title defence got off to a shaky start, losing to Heathcote by 31 runs. Calivil’s middle order was complete destroyed by Heathcote’s bowlers at one stage being 5/55 before being
bowled out for 88. Captain/ keeper Garner Smith was the top scorer with a measly 20 while Heathcote was led well by opening bowler Ben Harris who took 3/4 off 4 overs. Heathcote lost opener Kale Hoggins for just four runs before Darcy Mclean steered Heathcote to the win with an unbeaten 36 as Heathcote declared on 3/119. Last year’s runners up didn’t get off to a good start either with Colbinabbin losing by four runs in a tight seesawing affair against Elmore. However, Colbinabbin will have only themselves to blame after the bowlers gave away 15 extras including 10 wides. Elmore captain James Harney topped the scoring with 15 runs as Hadleigh Sirrett dominated taking 3/10. Colbinabbin opener Daniel Morgan hit an impressive 50 but had no help from any of his teammates as Colbinab-
bin was bundled out for 96, Elmore captain James Harney again topped the charts as he took 4/25. In the other game of the round Raywood (133) knocked over Dingee (114) by 19 runs. In retrospect Raywood should have dominated the match as Dingee’s batsmen struggled but Raywood kept them in it with 22 extras including 17 wides. Raywood started off strongly with solid partnership between captain Braden Latter and middle order batsmen Ankur Aneja steering Raywood to a strong total of 133. Dingee looked strong in their run chase at one stage being 4/87 before a stunning middle order collapse, some excellent bowling by Glenn Wallis (4/13), saw them lose 5/15 and put them completely out of the run chase. Raywood wicket-keeper Ash Austin was thrilled with his team’s start to the season.
BOWLED OVER: Shock upsets were the order of the day.
IN ACTION: Netball state titles took place last weekend in Bendigo.
North Central the champs NORTH Central’s under 17 netball team have been crowned state champions after an enthralling weekend of high quality netball at the Netball Victoria state titles held at Bendigo’s Golden City courts. After two days and around 200 games, the local team joined Two Bays (Open), Jika (15/U), Barwon (AAA Championship) and Parkville (AAA Reserve) regions as state champions. North Central and Western took unlikely wins away from dual ladder leaders North East and Two Bays in their respective semi finals to book spots in the grand final, before the locals held out for a thrilling three-goal win. Solid defence and accurate goal shooting made the difference for the North Central team, who seemed to only
improve with each game played. In the Open division, Two Bays claimed the championship after finishing fourth after nine-rounds of the round robin format. After upsetting ladderleaders Chisholm in the semi final, Two Bays claimed a one-goal win of Jika in the Grand Final. In the 15/U division, Henderson pipped North Central and Western for the last qualifying position, before falling to runners-up Elmer who had played strong netball over the course of the weekend. And in the All Abilities Association divisions, Barwon took the Championship crown defeating hosts Golden City by two goals, while Parkville won the reserve division after a dominant display right across the day, winning by eight goals.

Carnival brings AFL support FORMER AFL players are expected to join more than 500 indigenous sportspeople for the Statewide Koori Football and Netball Carnival, which will be held at the Epsom-Huntly Reserve for the first time this weekend. Two days of intense football and netball competition will be complemented by a major concert featuring Top Aboriginal musicians Archie Roach, Emma Donovan and Adam Briggs. There will also be a Koori night market, an initiative organisers describe as a moveable Aboriginal festival that celebrates and pro-
motes indigenous arts and culture. The football competition is expected to be boosted by the likely involvement of former AFL stars, including Essendon pair Nathan Lovett-Murray and Andrew Lovett, ex-Carlton, Essendon, Geelong and Richmond midfielder Justin Murphy and Melbourne forward Aaron Davey. Former North Melbourne midfielder Shannon Motlop has also been touted as a likely starter. Bendigo’s team will be captained by Dallas Widdicombe, and will compete in the B-Grade competition.
Teams of football and netball players from throughout Victoria, southern New South Wales and the South Australia border region will all take part. An initiative of Victorian Aboriginal Youth Sport and Recreation, the carnival takes place in a different location every year and celebrates indigenous culture, talent and traditions. This year’s event, hosted by the Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-operative and Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation, is expected to attract more than 3000 competitors and spectators.
BDAC chief executive officer Raylene Harradine said the carnival was more than a sports competition. “For more than 30 years, it has been bringing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities together and giving us a chance to reconnect, exchange ideas and strengthen our relationships,” Ms Harradine said. “It hasn’t run for about three years, so we want to re-establish it as one of Victoria’s biggest Indigenous events and continue to break down barriers and showcase our vibrant culture.”
Sharp-shooter Thwaites chases a goal
OPAL: Caitlin Thwaites.
THE allure of gold helped former Bendigo netball star Caitlin Thwaites secure July’s nomination for the Bendigo Weekly/ Prime 7 backed Sports Star of the Year award. Thwaites, now firmly entrenched with the powerhouse Sydney Swifts, became a dualgold medallist as a member of the victorious Australian team that defeated New Zealand by just three goals to win the World Cup in Sydney, adding to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games gold medal she won in 2014. Born and raised in Bendigo, the sharp-shooter and multitalented sportswoman also represented Australia in volleyball before deciding to pursue a netball career. Thwaites was an integral
part of the Diamonds’ World Cup squad and her stellar performances in the lead up to the grand final against arch Rivals New Zealand helped give the side momentum and added confidence. On the back of Thwaites’ 33 goals from 38 attempts in the crucial match against South Africa, the Diamonds took a significant step towards securing a major semi-final berth on their way to overall victory, after beating South Africa 66-31 in the qualification round Thwaites had a career-best season in the ANZ Championship in 2015 scoring more than 500 goals for the first time and broke the record for the most goals in a season by a NSW Swifts player. Her 506 goals at an average
of just under 30 a match helped the Swifts reach the ANZ Championship Grand Final, and led to her being named the Swifts’ Most Valuable Player for the season. She was also the third most accurate shooter in the league, scoring at 88 per cent accuracy, and was also ranked the thirdhighest goal scorer from long range with 96 goals. Thwaites made her international debut in the 2012 Quad Series against South Africa in Wellington, where she shot 23 goals at 100 per cent accuracy. In the aftermath of the World Cup victory, the Diamonds named an extended 15-player squad, including four debutants, for the four-Test Constellation Cup series against the New Zealand Silver Ferns that begin in Christchurch on Tuesday.
BSSC boys triumph A TRIUMPHANT Bendigo Senior Secondary College boys’ cricket team have won the SSV State Cricket Final, defeating Grovedale with six overs to spare. Playing under the popular T20 format, BSSC made its way into the final by defeating the sporting powerhouse Box Hill SC. Batting first, BSSC made an impressive 169. Top scorers were Brayden Stepien (80 off 24 balls, with 6 sixes and 10 fours), Brae Shewell (22), Tallis Miles (19), and Jordan Sharp (14 n.o.). The side then dismissed Box Hill Senior SC, for 158. Best of the bowlers were Dylan Klemm and Rhys Smith who conceded only 11 runs and 20 runs respec-
tively from their 4 overs. In the final, BSSC came up against Grovedale Secondary College. Batting first, Grovedale was restricted to 117 from their 20 overs, thanks to some accurate bowling from all bowlers. Rhys Smith was very economical, conceding only 16 runs from his 4 overs. Dylan Klemm took 1 for 19, Tallis Miles 1 for 20, Jordan Sharp 2 for 28, and Brayden Stepien 2 for 17. In the run chase, Brayden Stepien and Tallis Miles got us off to a great start, putting on 76 in the first 6 overs before Brayden was out for 68 (off only 26 balls, with 7 sixes and 6 fours).
WINNERS: BSSC beat Grovedale with six overs to spare. Good contributions from Dylan Klemm (14 n.o.), Tallis Miles (11), and Brae Shewell (10) enabled the BSSC team to pass the opposition total with six overs to spare. The winning team members were Zavier Abbott, Zach Cruse,
Sam Dean, Dylan Klemm, Scott McCoomb, Tallis Miles, Jordan Sharp, Brae Shewell, Rhys Smith, Jack Stagg, and Brayden Stepien. The team was coached by Duane Anderson, and Zac Sheehan accompanied the team as its Number 1 supporter.
Ms Harradine said highlights of the carnival would include the concert and Koorie Night Market, which will both be held at the Ulumbarra Theatre on Saturday night. “It is very exciting to have three of Australia’s most influential indigenous artists – each talented in their own right – performing in Bendigo,” she said. “The Koorie Night Market will add to the festival atmosphere, with a wide variety of stalls and interactive experiences with artists, musicians and performers for all to enjoy.”
DEBUTANT: Ashleigh ‘Splash’ Spencer.
Splash stars From Page 44 “I have only watched from afar the battles that the Spirit and Townsville have been involved in during the past few years, so I can only imagine what it feels like for the girls who have experienced them first hand. “I’m just so proud of everyone on the team. The culture is magnificent and we are all playing for each other, the club and Bendigo.” The South Australian has spent the past four years in America, playing College basketball. She said there was a noticeable difference in the WNBL. “The difference that struck me the most was the atmosphere, the importance of every single play, and the pure talent that this league holds,” she said. Coach Simon Pritchard said Spencer’s importance to the team will grow the longer the season goes. “Developing our bench players is a key focus of mine, especially in the first half of the year,” he said. “Splash has a high basketball IQ and will be a versatile four-man who will bring great screening and rebounding to the team. “She has good perimeter range and a canny ability to find the ring in the key.” Bendigo’s best players in the upset win over Townsville included the experienced quartet of Richards, Wilson, Griffin and Snell. The Spirit will make their home court debut for this season on Sunday, when they host the Perth Lynx at the Bendigo Stadium from 3pm.

Playing her first two matches against the Wattle Valley WNBL title favourites — SEQ Stars and Townsville Fire — meant there was no easing her way into the season, and the soon-to-be 23 year old scored four points in her seven minutes in total on court last weekend, and loved every second of it. “Playing WNBL for the first time was definitely nerve-wracking at first, but then turned into a feeling of exhilaration and excitement,” she said. “This weekend was just such an amazing experience that I am extremely grateful for. “As for getting on the scoreboard, it definitely wasn’t a goal of mine for the weekend, but of course it was a great feeling and good to get it out of the way.” Spencer said playing in yet another chapter of the legendary Bendigo vs Townsville rivalry was awe-inspiring. “The team did a fantastic job of turning the momentum around from Friday to Saturday. I think the biggest contributor to that was just directing the focus onto ourselves and the things that we could control during the second game,” she said. “That was obviously a winner because we came away with that huge win on Townsville’s home court. “Calling the Townsville game a great feeling is an understatement. It was an amazing feeling to come home with the win.
