NEXT weekend the 2015 Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival boasts a new crop of fresh talent proving youth is no barrier to producing solid blues. The Weekly’s four-page liftout starts on Page 25 with more stories on Page 37.

A BENDIGO councillor is preparing to launch a last ditch attempt to stave off changes to occasional childcare out of concern for working families and their jobs. As many as 28 occasional childcare spots could be lost in Bendigo with the council opting to transition the Bendigo Occasional Child Care Centre to a long care centre within months.

Change hits short-term childcare

The Weekly understands about seven of the 35 day care spots available will remain occasional care spots, while the rest will be transitioned to more permanent long care places. A petition calling for council to reconsider its decision to diminish the amount of occasional care

spots will be tabled at next Wednesday night’s City of Greater Bendigo council meeting amid concerns the reduction in places could force young mothers out of casual and shift work. Councillor Helen Leach said she believed the reduction of occasional childcare places could lead to “crisis”

in childcare in Bendigo. “I’m disappointed that there will be a severe shortage of occasional childcare places in Bendigo,” Cr Leach said. “I would imagine it could be a crisis, and at least much more difficult for a parent finding casual work or

making an appointment.” Cr Leach said while she believed childcare was in the realm of private enterprise, it was council’s duty to step in if there is a perceived gap in the market. “I would have to say that this present situation that we find ourselves in with occasional childcare… certainly does not lend credibility to the Municipal Early Years Plan and the claim that Bendigo is a child friendly city,” she said. Continued Page 5

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Gala auction a real winner RAY White Bendigo are celebrating the success of the firm’s first ever gala auction night, with large crowds and spirited bidding helping deliver some outstanding results for vendors and the local market. Managing director Rory Somerville said there were 13 preregistered bidders for the 11 properties that went under the hammer in front of a large crowd at The Boardwalk on Thursday, October 22. He said a broad range of properties offered opportunities for all types of buyers. “The auction process was not discriminatory to any type of buyer,” he said. Bidding was extremely active, with one property eventually selling for an impressive $20,000 over the reserve, a result Mr Somerville described as life-changing for the vendor. “There’s a misconception that the auction process does not work in the Bendigo market…. We feel that the process is great,” he said. So impressed was the firm with the results obtained at the inaugural auction night, that they are set to do it again, with the next gala auction event planned for Monday, December 7 at The Boardwalk. Already, six vendors have

listed their properties, buoyed by the outcomes of last week’s auction event and with the hope that they are successful at auction and deliver they, and their agents, an early and very welcome Christmas present. A KEY parcel of prime residential land offering enormous development opportunity is attracting attention from investors drawn to Bendigo’s many opportunities. Tweed Sutherland First National is managing the sale of a large 7.4 hectare site at 2 Alder Street, Golden Square, which agency principal Craig Tweed describes as one of the best opportunities for subdivision in Greater Bendigo. Mr Tweed said the property’s multi-street frontage, residential zoning and its prime location were all key attributes to the potential sale of the former Coliban Water corporation headquarters. “This property just ticks so many boxes on so many levels…. Where else would you find such a site?” Mr Tweed said. Situated about four kilometres from the Bendigo CBD the site has long been identified by the City of Greater Bendigo as one of the major opportunities for high density residential development in the region. Mr Tweed said the property

CROWD PLEASER: Ray White Bendigo tried a new approach. had attracted a lot of intention from developers, both locally and from further afield, with many drawn to Bendigo’s positioning, the strong local economy and the overall relative affordability of the local market. Documentation included with information on the Alder Street site includes plans for up to 93 lots, ranging in size from just over 300 square metres to two lots larger than 800 square metres. Mr Tweed said a small creek situated on the property was seen as a bonus in planning for open space areas for proposals such as a gated community or retirement village. The former Coliban Water corporation office site will be auctioned onsite, on Wednesday, November 18 from 11am. BARWON Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula is at the top of the list for house prices in regional Victoria, new REIV data shows. House prices in Barwon Heads

reached a median of $777,000 in the three months to September 30, up from $690,000 for the same period last year – a 12.6 per cent annual increase. The latest REIV data in the year to September 30 also shows capital growth was widespread, with many regional Victorian towns experiencing solid price increases and high median house prices. Barwon Heads was followed by the Geelong suburb of Newtown, where the median house price of $628,750 was the second highest for regional Victoria, up from $605,000 in September 2014. With a median house price of $627,500, Lake Wendouree in Ballarat was another town with a median price to rival its city counterparts.

Bright future for city development is encouraged and urban sprawl discouraged, and commuters are inspired to use public transport and active transport modes such as walking, cycling and scooting.” Other strategies and plans completed in 2014/2015 were the Rosalind Park Recreation Reserve Master Plan, the Hospital Precinct Master Plan and the Economic Development Strategy. Small Town Community plans were reviewed and updated in Heathcote, Raywood, Neilborough and Marong. “These align with council’s vision of becoming the most liveable regional city in Australia.

NEW MARKETS: Balgownie Estate’s David Lawson with Lisa Chesters. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

A BENDIGO winery is hoping to double its export sales after the federal government and Labor reached an historic agreement on the Chinese Free Trade Agreement (FTA) last week. Balgownie Estate’s assistant winemaker David Lawson joined federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters to discuss what the new FTA would mean for local agricultural industries. Mr Lawson said the reduction of trade tariffs would open up more international export opportunities for central Victorian winegrowers. “For Balgownie the FTA is going to offer us to develop our

THE financial year has “delivered in spades” when it comes to planning for Greater Bendigo’s future, according to mayor Peter Cox. The mayor and chief executive Craig Niemann presented council’s 2014/2015 Annual Report for at the Bendigo library yesterday. “The council has delivered in spades when planning for the city’s future with the completion of the Residential Development Strategy and the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy,” Cr Cox said. “Through this important strategic work council will deliver a compact Bendigo where infill

vineyards and potentially develop our export into China,” he said. “This will benefit us by allowing us to develop a larger export into China. We would be able to possibly expand by 100 per cent, or even more to China.” With the anticipated rise in international exports, Mr Lawson said he expects to see more local jobs created. “Probably two or three in our little winery, in total… it could be a huge number of jobs for the region,” he said. Ms Chesters said she expects the new Chinese FTA will benefit agribusiness.

“We have over 100 small business, ‘mum and dad’, boutique wineries. And up until now they’ve really struggled as an industry to break into the Chinese market,” she said. “Not because they don’t have a great product, but because they are small businesses. And what the China FTA is doing is help them break into those markets.” The current trade tariffs on wine exported to China are between 14 to 20 per cent, and will be abolished over four years. “Labor put forward a series of safeguards for locals jobs. They’ve been agreed to by the federal government, so now we have a situa-

tion where our winemakers, people involved in agriculture, our farmers, will benefit from a reduction in tariffs, but at the same time it will secure local jobs,” Ms Chesters said. Market testing will be introduced as part of the new FTA, as well as safeguards to ensure foreign workers on 457 visas receive Australian equivalent qualifications for jobs. “The safeguards are critical not just to protect local tradie jobs, but also critical to protect local consumers to make sure that we’ve got Australian qualified electricians and other trades,” Ms Chesters said.

RESIDENTS are encouraged to prepare their properties in time for an expected early declaration of the fire season. City of Greater Bendigo’s Susannah Milne said disposing of green waste for free at the Eaglehawk and Heathcote landfills is a far better option than open air burning. “With fire CFA restrictions likely to be introduced early this year, the council is urging residents and property owners to have their properties prepared,” Ms Milne said. “Fire restrictions or not, burning off in the conditions we are experiencing this year is not a sensible option. “Residents are asked to dispose of fallen timber, green waste, rubbish and leaves they have cleared from their gutters, at our free green waste disposal days at the Eaglehawk or Heathcote landfills on November 21 and 22.” The council also asks everyone to visit the CFA website where there is information on how best to prepare your property and also ensure you have an emergency plan in place that is understood by all members of the household and can involve neighbours and friends. “The website also assists residents determine their level of risk in relation to where they live in the municipality and prepare and plan accordingly,” Ms Milne said. Council municipal fire prevention officers are starting inspections of properties to ensure fire hazards such as long grass, weeds, rubbish and branches have been dealt with in the appropriate way depending on the property size and location. Anyone with concerns or requiring advice can contact the city on 5434 6333 or visiting www.bendigo.vic.gov.au

“

THE pumping of groundwater from Bendigo’s Central Deborah tourist mine has been temporarily suspended following the discovery of a pipe with a cracked fitting that led to discharge of water into the Bendigo Creek. The Bendigo Trust, which operates the pumping from the tourist mine, alerted authorities on Monday that groundwater had discharged into the Bendigo Creek as a result of the cracked fitting. The Environment Protection Authority was notified and an incident report is being prepared.

der Bendigo is typically salty and contains some metals including arsenic.

In September the state government announced that in the immediate term groundwater would be pumped to the New Chum mine workings by the Bendigo Trust so that Central Deborah could remain open. The government also announced $1.5 million in funding to look at the feasibility of pumping groundwater to Coliban Water’s Epsom treatment plant, which would help address the groundwater issue over the next three to five years while a permanent solution is developed.

Childcare shortfall on the cards 3From Page 1 “I do see our role as stepping into the gap if there is a gap. “If there’s a gap there, and it’s a necessary service for young families, I do believe council has no option but to step into that gap.” One parent, who utilises the services but wishes to remain unnamed, said there were a number of different reasons parents had need for the occasional childcare spots. “With a permanent long day care you have a permanent booking so it might be five days a week or one day a week,” the parent said. “Whereas with occasional day care you can just book by the hour, and you can only

Sale heralds Marketplace celebrations THE Bendigo Marketplace will continue its 20th birthday celebrations tomorrow by staging its first centre-wide sale. Centre manager Marc McEnallay hoped the sale, which is complemented with a variety of family-friendly activities, can produce a sense of excitement. “Some of our people have worked here since the opening 20 years ago and seen the centre go through changes during that time,” Mr McEnallay said. Bendigo Marketplace is owned by ISPT who invested in the Bendigo area through schools and charities such as Second Bite

and Bendigo Food Share. This was highlighted on Tuesday when ISPT’s chief executive Daryl Browning announced an extra $20,000 to contribute to the centre’s $15,000 Money Can Grow on Trees schools grant programme. Specimen Hill primary students, who were recipients in 2014, kicked off the celebrations this week by singing happy birthday. There was also a speech by the school’s principal Di Craig before the cutting of a birthday cake by Mr Browning and mayor Peter Cox.

Later that morning 86-year-old Hugh Ennis showcased his archived program from the centre’s opening on October 26, 1995. The souvenir featured a map and a schedule of visiting Carlton Football Club players following their most recent AFL premiership. “We’ve had fantastic support over the last 20 years from the Bendigo community and our entire staff and tenants are looking forward to sharing our birthday celebrations with them on Saturday,” Mr McEnallay said. - Alex Tigani

book three days in advance. “So if you had a doctor’s appointment it could be just for that hour that you just needed your child not to be with you. Or I work on a casual basis, so I just ring and just book in those particular hours that I’m working. “There are parents that study that use them who go to lectures and tutorials. Also when you study and you go out on a placement you could book your child in for that week placement. “Some parents use it for respite, they may have a severe illness…. Some grandparents are carers, so they might use it as a break.” Council’s second largest childcare centre, located at Park Road, is expected to close in December.

User pays call for parks

A coFFEE stall operator has called for the introduction of a fee system for commercial use of public spaces such as Lake Weeroona and Rosalind Park. Two of the city’s most popular tourist destinations, both locations are also highly popular among local boot camp and fitness groups, but the City of Greater Bendigo council has yet to introduce a policy. “It should be a ‘user pays’ system for commercial ventures,” Lake Weeroona licensed coffee vendor Nick Salm said. In February 2013 the City of Greater Bendigo acknowledged the use of these reserves by fitness groups had the potential to

conflict with use by walkers. At that time council confirmed it did not have a policy specifically covering parks use by commercial organisations. “We don’t permit our parks to be used exclusively by anyone, so when they are using that space, they don’t have priority,” Pat Jess, council’s then recreation manager, said. “What we have recognised is the prevalence of the trainers is growing and as that grows there will be a greater need to govern the use of the parks.” He said fitness groups had welcomed a policy outlining permitted use of the parks during preliminary consultations. Kangaroo Flat resident Paul Cinanni told the Bendigo Weekly

the bootcamp sessions didn’t interfere with use of the park by young families such as his. However, Mr Cinanni said commercial organisations using the park for financial gain should be charged a fee.

“

groups was encouraging and a very positive trend for Bendigo. A fitness circuit proposed by council in 2013 to be located in Rosalind Park or at Lake Weeroona has not yet been delivered.

If the bootcamp operators paid a fee, then council could put that toward paying for a fitness circuit

“If the bootcamp operators paid a fee, then council could put that toward paying for a fitness circuit,” he said. “Fitness stations in the parks would mean more people could participate.” He said increased use of Lake Weeroona by exercise

On February 24 this year council held two information sessions for outdoor fitness providers to assist in the preparation of a Commercial Use of Public Open Space Policy. While council recognised the value of outdoor training as a good health and fitness op-

tion, it also said there must be a sustainable balance for the use of these spaces. Council also confirmed it would consider all issues and opportunities, such as if more locations were required outside the city centre, to support commercial operators. “A consistent approach is required across all public open space to ensure access is fair and equitable for everyone, and there is not a clash between commercial ventures and people wanting to pursue their own recreation activities,” a council spokesperson said. There has been no update to the policy and council’s most recent update to the Council Plan calls for an Open Space Strategy to be completed in 2016-2017.

Former PM takes centre stage FORMER prime minister Julia Gillard was in Bendigo this week as keynote speaker at the 2015 Leadership lunch. The Bendigo Business Council held the event at Ulumbarra Theatre on Monday. Ms Gillard spoke to students ahead of her address, and was entertained by the Girton Chamber Choir. A panel formed of students and members of the community questioned Ms Gillard on a variety of subjects in front of an audience of 800.

Fair go for rate cap next year

THE state government has tabled its draft legislation in support of capped municipal rates. Local government minister Natalie Hutchins said the Fair Go Rates system, to be delivered in time for the 2016-17 financial year, would give ratepayers greater value for money while ensuring councils remained financially sustainable and continued to provide essential services and facilities to their communities. The bill authorises the minister to stop councils exceeding a cap on rates, based on the Melbourne Consumer Price Index forecast. If there are instances of continued and deliberate noncompliance, the minister can determine that the rates or charges levied in that year are invalid and recommend that the council be suspended. The bill also provides the Essential Services Commission (ESC) greater oversight of council spending, ensuring ongoing compliance and monitoring of overall outcomes for communities. The move comes as new data reveals that Victorians have faced an average rate increase of almost 5.99 per cent every year for the last decade. The state government has proposed amendments to the Local Government Act 1989 to enable the minister for local government to set a cap on rates and for the ESC to assess

easy does it: Councils will be held to a rate cap. applications from councils to go above the cap. If a council has a project that requires it to go above the rate cap, it will need to demonstrate to the ESC that an increase is warranted and that they have their community’s support. Ms Hutchins said given the size of rate rises in recent years, it was clear Victoria needs greater accountability for councils and greater value for money for local residents. “Our Fair Go Rates system will give communities a say and make councils listen,” she said. Ms Hutchins said Victorians expect greater value, more of a say, and a better understanding of the work their councils are doing. “Our Fair Go Rates cap won’t cut existing budgets and

it won’t stop councils providing much-needed services and facilities. What it will deliver is greater value for money and councils that listen and respond to the needs of their community.” Under the rates capping proposal, the City of Greater Bendigo stands to lose more than $1.5 million in revenue in the 2016/17 financial year. Council this year increased rates by an average 4.75 per cent, compared to six per cent in 2014/15. The Municipal Association of Victoria said it was pleased the government had considered the organisation’s advice in favour of greater flexibility in the cap, with the bill providing a different benchmark or multiple caps for different classes of councils.

BREAKING Bread: Bendigo Foodshare can put more on the plate thanks to Telstra. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN BENDIGO Foodshare has received a $10,000 boost from the local Telstra team, which could generate as many as $160,000 meals for struggling families in central and northern Victoria. One in nine people in central Victoria cannot afford to source food for meals at some point each year, with Bendigo Foodshare sourcing and distributing about 1 one million kilograms of food to central and northern Victorians annually. Bendigo Foodshare chair Cathie Steele said the group was grateful of the support of local businesses. “We remain humbled and grateful for amazing locals who want to drive

positive change in our communities,” she said. “Telstra in Bendigo, through this donation is making an enormous difference to the lives of local families. “Without government funding we need $100,000 each year in our pursuit to end food poverty. Every donation gets us closer to making sure everyone who needs some food can access it. “This is the community we trying to build with every single person or business who donates to Bendigo Foodshare.” Telstra Licenced Shops of Bendigo director Aaron Lane said the company had been compelled to make the do-

nation after realising how many people in central Victoria struggled to put food on the table. “We have approximately 150,000 customers across central and northern Victoria,” he said. “When we heard that one in nine people in our region are struggling to eat every day we realised that literally tens of thousands of our customers might be in this category without access to food on a regular basis. “We felt compelled to act and share in the responsibility of ending food poverty in our region. “We love where we live, where we work and servicing our customers.”

Stepping out for the fun run Matt Bowles will have his foot in two camps this Sunday when his DCK Real Estate team competes in the ninth annual Bendigo Bank fun run. As a director for DCK, Mr Bowles said his staff have been counting down the days until the event takes place. “Its great to have our staff members involved, they have been training and this is an opportunity for our team and a lot of other Bendigo companies to get involved,“ Mr Bowles said. Outside the office Mr Bowles has been a member of the Bendigo Health Foundation for seven years and already looks forward to this year’s new 21.1-kilometre race in addition to its 5km, 10km and 15km disciplines. “As far as the foundation is concerned this is the first time we are running the half marathon, we had to cer-

Earlier this week the fundraising tally had reached $53,335 with a total of 2300 registered participants. “You don’t actually have to be fit and run; you can sign up and walk

because we have a family friendly course,” Mr Bowles said. “If people want to participate with their families in prams for leisurely strolls they may do so; we even had a participant over the past few years who has been well into her 90s.“ – Alex Tigani

Bus has a bike plus A KEY recommendation in the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy handed down by the City of Greater Bendigo is set to be adopted statewide. The “one-in-five” project, which encourages commuters to use public or active transport at least one out of every five working days, will be championed by several leading transport authorities. “Council is delighted that the Bus Association of Victoria will lead

a taskforce consisting of VicRoads, PTV, VECCI and Bicycle Network Victoria to roll out the initiative across Victoria, and work with its other state and federal bus representative bodies to roll out one-in-five nationally,” mayor Peter Cox said. “This project works because it has a minimum impact on an individual’s travel routine.” ITLUS was officially launched last Friday, as was a Victorian first trial of bike racks on buses.

“Combining a bike ride with your bus trip is an easy, environmentally friendly and healthy way to get around, and it will ease congestion on local roads,” public transport minister Jacinta Allan said. The trial will involve the Whitmore Group’s bus service from Strathfieldsaye to Bendigo and the racks, which can carry two bikes, will be mounted on the front of the bus. The trial is expected to begin early in 2016.

Community groups work together In a first for Bendigo, community and township groups from the east of Bendigo gathered together to discuss ways they could work better together. The motive for the gathering came following discussions between representatives from the Junortoun Community Action Group and Axedale Our Town – Our Future. The groups recognised they had a great deal in common, and felt that more could be achieved if community groups east of the city worked together. This has led to the initial meeting where community or-

ganisations spent time learning more about each other’s objectives, ideas and opportunities, and explored ways to work together. Kevin de Vries of the Junortoun Action Group was enthusiastic about the gathering. “We know that many groups across Bendigo are doing a tremendous amount of great work for their communities,” he said. Each representative group had the opportunity to share the top three things they would like to achieve in their community. “Axedale Our Town – Our

Future was excited to be involved in the multi group event,” the group’s Yvonne Wrigglesworth said. “Last year we hosted an innovative community senate event in Axedale which attracted more than 40 participants. “This week’s meeting confirmed the collaborative potential and shared opportunities and challenges that can be tackled as a collective. “A key discussion point was how do we increasing the success of our projects and impact by leveraging volunteers and skill sets.”

Cup winners in Octobra THERE was nothing particularly conservative about the Conservatory yesterday morning, with more than 1800 ladies’ pre-loved bras out on display. The bras were donated by generous community members as part of Octobra, and will be donated to women in

need in Vietnam. In its fifth year, Octobra is a joint initiative between Fernwood Fitness and Professionals Bendigo, and is part of the Uplift Project. In previous years bras have been donated to Tonga, Africa and Papua New Guinea.

Other Bendigo landmarks that have received the Octobra treatment include the QEO, Lake Weeroona and the Poppet Head in Rosalind Park. Professionals Bendigo director Jacinta McIvor said the initiative continued to yield impressive results.

“For its fifth year running, it’s a fantastic result,” she said. Octobra received the support of the Bendigo Weekly, St John of God Hospital, Bendigo Health, Bendigo Bank, Radio KLFM, Inglewood and District Health Service and Heathcote Health.

Campaign continues to push city

Bendigo residents are being encouraged to throw their support behind the second instalment of the Eat. Drink. Shop. Bendigo campaign this weekend. After the success of the first promotion held on the fourth, fifth and sixth of September, with some businesses reporting their best weekend ever, campaign organisers are keen to again facilitate support for the hospitality and retail businesses located in the Bendigo CBD. Campaign manager Kathie Bolitho encouraged people to start their Christmas shopping early and make a purchase from a local Bendigo retailer, or meet a friend for lunch at a local food venue. “We have been out and about buying prize vouchers to kick start some more terrific competitions and to entice people into a business they may never have experienced before,” Ms Bolitho said. “We would want to hear from the public about with businesses they love, and from any retailers who have special deals, new products or a sale coming up, so we can build a terrific reference point via the Eat. Drink. Shop. Bendigo Facebook page. “Small hospitality and retail businesses do not have high profit margins, and every dollar counts – even that quick morning coffee or glass of wine with friends really makes a difference.” Ms Bolitho said local retailers, cafes and restaurants can help to support the campaign by spreading the word through their own social media profiles. “Every little bit helps – and remember to encourage shoppers to visit your precinct, not just your store, wander through Bath Lane, explore the businesses in View Street, visit the Bendigo Mall,” she said. Further information about Eat. Drink. Shop. Bendigo can be obtained from the page at www.facebook.com/eatdrinkshop-bendigo

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 30, 2015

ROYAL ASSENT TO FORM NEW COUNCILLOR CONDUCT PANEL STATE government reforms to strengthen council governance and reduce councillor misconduct have been given Royal Assent. The changes, initiated to improve the standard of behaviour for councillors, provide a clear process for dealing with misconduct and empower councils and the minister for local government to take action against councillors doing the wrong thing. Under the changes to the Local Government Act 1989, councillors will be required to sign up to codes of conduct, while councils will need to have procedures in place to deal with alleged breaches. Allegations of misconduct and serious misconduct will be dealt with by independent Councillor Conduct Panels, which will have the power to suspend councillors for up to six months. The minister for local government will also receive new powers, including the option to recommend to the Governor in Council that a councillor be stood down from their role as councillor.

HOUSING ON THE AGENDA

SHOW READY: Ernie mounts up.

AMICUS chief executive Ann-Maree Davis has been invited to join a national committee designed to help those in need. Ms Davis will join the National Disability Service group which will focus on housing and accommodation for people with disabilities. Ms Davis believes that despite funding being made for those with a disability, the difficulty is to find them suitable and affordable housing, which the committee will try to address. “Into the future we will need a diverse range of strategies and innovation drawn from people with a disability and their families, government, philanthropic and private sectors to respond to the level of unmet need that exists,” she said. “The current public and specialist disability housing stock is simply inadequate to respond to the numbers of new people who will require housing and the models are not suitable for the needs of many people.”

Shovel fest returns START your engines – the Shovel Fest Bendigo is roaring back into town. Featuring a numbers of classic Harleys and Indians, organiser Peter Vanderfenn said the family friendly day was for a good cause. “We’ve put it on for prostate cancer – it’s our major fundraiser,” he said. Coming into its second year, all proceeds from the day go towards supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Featuring a show and shine and a number of exhibition bikes including Shovels, Pans, Knuckles, WLA’s and Iron Head Sportsters, Mr Vanderfenn said this

year’s Shovel Fest would also feature a huge collection of antique Indians. “One of our big coups this year is Dr Dugal James,” he said. “He’s a local surgeon and he’s got a collection of Indian motorcycles… the biggest collection of Indian motorbikes in the southern hemisphere.” Run by the Central State Rodders, the festival will include live music and plenty of opportunities for photos. There will also be a raffle drawn on the day, with the top prize an Armstrong bike trailer, as well as tee shirts for sale with all proceeds going to charity. Entry is $10 per adult, however Mr

Vanderfenn said families would enter cheaper. “We’re trying to keep the price down to get the families in,” he said. With a number of interstate entries expected for the show and shine, festival goers are encouraged to come along early to see all the action. “If people show up at 9am they’ll be able to see all the Harleys rolling in,” Mr Vanderfenn said. The festival is not BYO, and no patches are to be worn. Shovel Fest will kick off at 9am on Sunday at the Bendigo Showgrounds event pavilion.

Helping hand to find a job By Dianne Dempsey

WILLING WORKER: Neil Gemmill is helping others find work. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Willing Older Workers Melbourne. WOW in Melbourne offers resume and cover letters, financial advocacy, Centrelink advocacy, weekly food hampers, advice of the services available, job-ready seminars and social functions. Mr Gemmill, who has now found employment, said he hoped to build a similar model in Bendigo. “I hope we can help people find employment and also support people who are struggling. “A lot of people don’t qualify for benefits and they struggle with mental illness as a result of being unemployed. We’re hoping to help them as much as we can. There is certainly a lot of support from the community at this stage.” Mr Gemmill will be notifying people of the next WOW meeting. To contact WOW phone 0484682922, email wow.bendigo@gmail.com or visit www.wowwillingolderworkers.com.au

Feeling the effects of unemployment after he first moved to Bendigo, Neil Gemmill reached out to other people in a similar situation and soon realised he wasn’t alone. More than 50 people gathered together at the inaugural meeting of Willing Older Workers. As a result of the meeting two men have already who been offered employment, one as a tiler and the other as a painter. Based on a similar self-help group which has been successfully running in Melbourne, the newly formed Bendigo branch of WOW offers emotional and practical support to mature-aged unemployed workers and their families. In attendance at the meeting were the mayor, councillor Peter Cox, the Community Foundation for Central Victoria, Bendigo Community Health, Work for the Dole, Bunnings Epsom, Matchworks, and

GREATER BENDIGO 2015 YOUTH SUMMIT I enjoyed this Summit a lot. It was great to meet new people and hear what others have to say about Bendigo. I thought the people that came in to talk were very helpful. It was great to hear that there are facilities in Bendigo that help youth in bad situations. I hope to come again next year.” Kaitlin (14) – Weeroona College Below, right: Oliver Chappel and Jennipher Andrews, Youth Summit MCs.

JENNIPHER ANDREWS Eaglehawk Secondary College, Youth Summit MC

On the Wednesday September 9 about 150 students ranging from 12 to 25 years of age assembled at the Bendigo Exhibition Centre to discuss the topics that are important to youth.

“No matter how old you are you can do something for the community”

We started the day with an opening speech from the Mayor Cr Peter Cox. The day featured guest speakers from headspace, Victoria Police and drug and alcohol services. The speakers presented on a variety of topics such as mental health, drugs and alcohol, and personal safety. The key note speaker was Rory Somerville. Rory talked to us about his story from owning his own café as a teenager to now owning and running Ray White Real Estate in Bendigo. When I spoke to other students on the day, they said he really inspired them. The day also had group activities as well, to mix students up into groups with different ages and schools.

Vanessa Bates from Victoria Police was my favourite. I understood what she was saying when she spoke about personal safety, and that was the topic that I was most concerned about.

I’m Jennipher Andrews, a Year 9 student at Eaglehawk Secondary College and I got to MC for the day along with Oliver Chappel, a Year 9 student from Catholic College Bendigo.

It was a great success and I hope that everyone that went got something out of it and had fun. The key messages I got from the day were: ◆

No matter how old you are you can do something for the community There are more support groups for mental health than I thought Young people DO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT and we are not all immature If you get the chance to go again to the Youth Summit, please go! It is great, it is worth it and so much fun!

The City of Greater Bendigo will be supporting the Youth Action Group, and also use the Youth Summit outcomes to ensure its Youth Strategy remains aligned with the needs of young people. Youth Action Group: Help organise next year’s Youth Summit, be involved in discussions about the future of Bendigo and make decisions representing Bendigo’s youth.

Attending the 2015 Youth Summit is one of the greatest opportunities that you could do in high school. Each speaker gave us a clear understanding of the common problems that we have in our community. I would strongly recommend every high school student attend this program. I am extremely proud to have been given this opportunity. I would love to participate in this for the following years to come.”

OLIVER CHAPPEL

Catholic College Bendigo, Youth Summit MC When I first heard of the Youth Summit I was immediately intrigued. I’d never heard of such a great opportunity for teens and young adults to voice their minds and have their opinions heard. As the youth of Bendigo comprises a large majority of the population, their input is vital for the progression and improvement of the city. During the day we were lucky enough to have four guest speakers take some time and share their stories which gave us all an insight on how things are run, what needs fixing, and how we can do that. The Summit gave everyone a chance to have their say. I believe that the day was very effective and allowed the council to understand what the youth want so that they can put it in action. I would strongly recommend people to go to this event next year as it was an experience that was extremely valuable and beneficial for teens and adults alike.

TOP 3 ISSUES DISCUSSED: • Personal safety • Mental health • Drugs and alcohol The Greater Bendigo Youth Summit was supported by the Victorian Government.

The summit has taught me so much. Thank you quest speakers, your experiences and advice will help many generations to come. I feel so much more confident and comfortable now that I have learnt about the things I was scared of. Thanks!” Alex (12) – Bendigo South East

The guest speakers covered their topics really well. They spoke in a way that kept you intrigued and made you realise how big these issues actually are. Many of the facts and statistics that were mentioned surprised me and I think that the youth of Bendigo have all participated in resolving these issues today.” Ayla (14) – Catholic College Bendigo

The snakes are out

The arrival of spring weather means people are getting outdoors at the same time snakes are starting to become more active. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning wildlife officer Glenn Smith said snakes are emerging from their winter hibernation to bask in the sun and to search for food and a mate. “The recent sunny weather also means more people are spending time in their gardens or in parks and forests,” Mr Smith said. “As people and snakes become more active it is quite possible they’ll encounter each other while enjoying the outdoors.” Eastern brown snakes are most

common in the north west of the state with the occasional tiger snake or red-bellied black snake encountered around wetlands, creeks and rivers. “These three species are all highly venomous but it is rare for them to bite people,” Mr Smith said. “However, they are known to bite animals when disturbed. If you are a pet owner and your dog or cat encounters a snake causing you concern, the best course of action is to remove your pet from the area or tie it up while the snake passes. “Being aware that snakes may be around and being informed about how to react to them is very important at this time of year.”

If you see a snake – keep calm and try to move yourself, anyone with you and your pets away from the snake. Never touch or attempt to capture or hurt a snake – instead call DELWP Customer Service Centre on 136 186 who will provide you advice or put you in contact with your nearest licensed snake catcher. Have a spring clean – clean up around the house and cut lawns regularly. Snakes are attracted to shelter such as piles of rocks and timber, sheets of metal, or building materials. Undertake first aid training, ensure your first aid kit contains several compression bandages, and if some-

THE call is out to help disadvantaged. youngsters. The Smith Family is urging people from Bendigo to become mentors for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is part of the charity’s iTrack online mentoring program which provides guidance to high school students on their post school options. The Smith Family’s Victorian general manager Anton Leschen urged anyone considering becoming a volunteer mentor to sign up and make a positive difference to a student’s future. “It’s so easy to commit to and can have a huge impact on a student’s life,” he said. “If we don’t recruit enough volunteer mentors now, these students will miss out on a truly valuable experience.” This initiative was formed more than 10 years ago in response to research revealing many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds disengage from their education and drop out of school during their high school years. Fifteen-hundred volunteers are needed before Christmas and the Smith Family pairs adult mentors with students in years 9 to 11, offering them advice, support and encouragement.

Human powered vehicles for all ages

By ROS WOODBURN

IF you’re observant you will lately have seen strange, canopied tricycles zooming around Tom Flood velodrome or other community circuits in town. It’s all leading up to the excitement that happens in late November at the RACV Energy Breakthrough. In Bendigo, HPV racing is a popular activity in 15 primary and nine secondary schools. But what happens when kids leave school? After the Maryborough event many students finish school and cannot compete in any further school team HPV racing. Many keen participants remain in the sport to assist younger enthusiasts, but for some that’s not enough. John Taylor, a retired technology

teacher and builder of trikes, saw the need to provide an opportunity for these riders to continue their passion for HPV racing. He helped instigate the formation of a central Victorian based community team. “HPV racing has a unique quality which solicits a passionate following from many young people,” Mr Taylor said. “The existence of community teams allows them to follow their passion beyond school so they continue to develop useful life skills like team work, physical endurance, driving skill, technological expertise and the like.” The central Victorian Wattle Racing team is made up of all ages, abilities, and male and female competitors. Speeds can average 45km/h over 24 hours of team racing, and

all without any pollution, loud mechanical noise – just lots of sustainable huff and puff, and a bit of high tech material. And events for community teams like Wattle Racing are booming around the country. The Australian HPV Super Series, run largely in South Australia under the auspices of UniSA, is an annual series of events designed to develop competitors’ teamwork, technological and engineering skills, enterprise and fitness and health. Known as Pedal Prix, the competition involves more than 200 teams from all over Australia and draws up to 35,000 spectators to its Murray Bridge 24-hour endurance race alone. Mr Taylor said the sport has a spectacle of speed not found in other cycling sports, as well as providing a forum for innovation.

bendigo

THRILL OF THE RACE: Community HPV teams allow anyone to take part in a sport once reserved for schools. “I believe it will continue to grow into the future,” he said. Perhaps you have seen your youngsters enjoy the thrill of speed, teamwork and design development.

Want to have a go yourself? Check out www.pedalprix.com.au or chat with one of the many community teams now forming around the country.

Women take to the road A GROUP of Bendigo women is peddling the delights of pedalling. They meet each Thursday at 6.15am at the Bendigo Cycles and the aim is a supportive, non-competitive road ride that is for women only. “The ride is inclusive and we ride to our slowest rider,” group member Kate Watts said. “During the ride more experienced riders support, encourage and pass their skills on to the less experienced members of the group, building capacity and confidence. “Our other focus is on safety on the roads and how to ride in a bunch. Of course there is a coffee at the end.” The group was organised by Jo Lythgo and Nicole Mcnamara who started riding their bikes together

WOMEN ON WHEELS: The group has a weekly riding event. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN three years ago. The duo enjoyed their bike rides so much they wanted to get other women involved as there wasn’t any other groups of sort going around.

Ribbon walk a good step MAYOR Peter Cox is hoping for a record attendance of men at this year’s White Ribbon Day walk. He is encouraging all workers, but men in particular, to work an additional few hours over the next few weeks so they can accrue some time in lieu and attend the annual event on Wednesday, November 25. It aims to raise awareness among men about their role in preventing violence against women. White Ribbon Day activities will be held at the Bendigo Town Hall from noon. Attendees will hear from guest speakers, former AFL player Luke Ablett and Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Tess Walsh, before walking from the Town Hall, down Bull Street, along Pall Mall, up Mitchell Street and through the Hargreaves Mall back to the Town Hall. Cr Cox said it is important

WHITE RIBBON WALKER: Peter Cox is calling for men to join in. that men speak out strongly in support of this timely campaign. “White Ribbon Day is an international day of action and the world’s largest male-led movement to prevent violence against women,” Cr Cox said. “In the 2014/15 financial year Bendigo police received 2972 family violence reports, in which 90 per cent of the perpetrators were men. This equates to six reports a day. Statewide, there were 70,000 reports, that’s approximately one call every eight seconds. These figures are shock-

ing and truly heartbreaking. “It would be wonderful to see as many men from our community completing the walk as possible. If you can only afford an hour of time, the walk will start at 1pm from the Town Hall. Together we can send a powerful message that violence against women will not be tolerated in our city.” The walk will be followed by a free community barbecue and entertainment in the gardens between the library and the Town Hall.

JEFF LANG RETURNS

Australian singer, songwriter and slide guitarist, Jeff Lang, will bring his unique ‘disturbed folk’ style to Bendigo in an exclusive concert at the city’s historic Capital Theatre on Friday 6th November. A prolific artist known for blending musical styles to create new and distinctive sounds, Lang has received widespread acclaim over the past decade for his work in the folk, rock, blues and world genres. With an ARIA award and countless nominations under his belt, Jeff Lang has amassed an extensive catalogue of work, zealous fan base and impressive list of stage appearances, including tours with music icons Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan.

Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival Director, Colin Thompson, said Lang’s appearance marked a coming of age for the festival.

“It was a hard task selecting a line-up of artists to support Lang, but I think we’ve hit on a strong mix that can definitely hold their own,” Mr. Thompson said.

“To attract an artist of Jeff Lang’s caliber is a real triumph, particularly for a festival based outside of a capital city,” said Mr. Thompson.

“Sal Kimber & the Rollin’ Wheel have had a whirlwind few years, touring Canada, visiting Nashville and supporting Kasey Chambers, Tim Rogers and The Waifs. Their alternative country sound complements Lang’s style perfectly

“Lang was once a regular at the popular Bendigo night spot The Golden Vine Hotel but hasn’t played locally for some time. His return not only highlights the festival’s quality but reflects a growing appreciation for delivering first-class, affordable and accessible music to the masses, especially for those living regionally.” Lang is joined at the 2015 festival by some notable additions, including Australian music legend Joe Camilleri, and will share the Capital stage with emerging artists Sal Kimber & the Rollin’ Wheel, Owen Campbell, Lucie Thorne and Hamish Stewart.

FREE ENTRY

“Australia’s Got Talent Finalist, Owen Campbell joins the bill, proving to audiences his rock-influenced songwriting, honed through years of busking, can mix it with the best. “Last but certainly not least, up-and-comers, Lucie Thorne and Hamish Stewart round out the program and are sure to win hearts.” An unquestionable highlight of the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival, tickets will sell out.

REMEMBERING

B.B. King

In 1947, an up-and-coming guitarist from the cotton farms of Mississippi arrived in the home of blues, downtown Tennessee’s Beale Street. The Beale Street Blues Boy, later known as B.B. King, made a name for himself along with his beloved Gibson ‘Lucille’ as one of music’s most influential artists. A consolidator of blues styles and a role model for rock guitarists, B.B. King spent the best part of several decades recording, touring and playing more than 300 shows a year, as well as collaborating with musicians from rock, pop and country backgrounds.

When King passed away in his Las Vegas home in May, the music world lost a legend. Now with the help of Australia’s best blues artists, the Festival will celebrate King’s life and music with an exclusive tribute concert at The Shamrock Hotel’s Federation Room on Friday 6 November. Featuring Geoff Achison, Josh Owen, Dukesy and the Hazzards, Liz Violi and Marc Leon, the concert will showcase unique version’s of King’s best loved songs including the classics: Rock Me Baby and The Thrill is Gone. A treat for blues purists and curious novices alike, this concert is sure to one of the highlights of the 2015 festival.

Secure your seat now by visiting the festival website www.bendigobluesandroots.com.au to purchase a ticket. B.B. King

THE BLUES IS YOUNG

AT HEART For many the blues genre conjures up images of world-weary bluesmen with beaten guitars and a hard-luck story to tell. But at the 2015 Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival a new crop of fresh talent are taking up the torch and proving youth is no barrier to producing the fervent lyrics and soulful licks the genre is best known for. Festival director, Colin Thompson, said uncovering the music of pioneers such as

Muddy Waters, BB King and Ray Charles, could be a difficult for the younger generation. “Pop-focused radio playlists have made discovering the often sombre guitar-driven blues a difficult task, akin to finding a needle-inthe-haystack,” Mr Thompson said. “For those artists who persist the reward is worth the effort because it gives them the inspiration to combine history with youthful exuberance and craft something unique.” The 2015 festival has embraced this new sound, showcasing the talents of young blues and roots artists on not one, not two but three stages during the four day festival scheduled for 5-8 November 2015. Mr Thompson said the youth stage would return for a second year, featuring the talents of local and visiting musicians aged 25 and under. “The stage aims to cultivate the next generation of artists by providing professional experience, mentoring and the chance to perform in front of

a live audience. “Our audience appreciate this initiative, with our youth events often ranking among patron’s favourite festival experiences.” The Lazenby Young Blues Guitarist Award will also return in 2015, pitting three young guitarists against each other in a battle for glory, with the winner taking home a 2010 Fender Telecaster owned by the late Phil Lazenby. Local school bands will a have their chance to show off the talent of their young performers as well at a one-off showcase at the Ulumbarra Cafe in Gaol Road. Last but not least an all-ages event, featuring the likes of Jackson Firebird, at the multi-storey car park in Edward Street will cater for the younger demographic and introduce blues and roots inspired music to a generation of new fans.

Colleen says thanks An open letter to the Mayor Peter Cox, Bendigo councillors and the people of Bendigo. I would like to thank you, your fellow councillors and the people of Bendigo for the wonderful opportunity to present my concert in Bendigo. We all had a fabulous time and it was great seeing so many friendly faces in the amazing Ulumbarra Theatre. It is no wonder that Bendigo leads the way with events having Terry Karamaloudis at the helm, and Danny and I want to thank him for all his great support. These shows don’t just happen and without you, Terry, David Stretch and David Lloyd and their teams it would have been much more difficult. I have always loved my home town Bendigo, and I will continue to promote the city and encourage people to visit whenever I possibly can. I wish you all the best Peter and please accept our sincere thanks for your support. Colleen Hewett

Going with the flow Congrats to the Bendigo Weekly for its excellent article “Future bright for Campaspe” (October 16). Also congrats to North Central CMA’s staff for its surveillance and monitoring of this vital Victorian river. As a member of Soil Conservation Authority’s team advising catchment landholders since the early 1950s and working the Heathcote-based Eppalock Catchment restoration project staff of the 1960s-70s, I hope that our now historic work has helped to enhance the Campaspe River’s health. In my ageing retirement years I now feel rather insulated from Bendigo’s rural hinterland and the seasonal impacts on farmlands, farming families and our local streams. It is important that the media brings these regional matters regularly to Bendigo’s urban population. Please keep up this vital reporting. David H Elvery, Flora Hill

Scrap the mall OUTGOING Greater Bendigo mayor Peter Cox hit the nail on the head when he said (Bendigo Weekly,

October 23) that Bendigo Marketplace has transformed the city since it was built two decades ago. Along with the disastrous decision to turn Hargreaves Street into a pedestrian mall, it shares the blame for bleeding the city’s heart dry. If you want a glimpse of what Bendigo was like before the mall blighted its centre, visit Warrnambool. There the civic fathers resisted the urge to shut traffic out of the city’s heart and the result is a pulsating business precinct where shoppers throng to a huge variety of unique local stores, not the cookiecutter franchises that infest centres such as the marketplace. Hopefully some day councillors will have the courage to follow the worldwide trend, scrap the mall and watch shoppers and visitors flock back. Don Baker, Castlemaine

Close Nauru We have clear evidence now from several government commissioned reports, some dating back more than 10 years, that detention of asylum seeking and refugee children has a severe, maybe irreversible, negative impact on their health and development. Politicians on both sides and government officials do not dispute this. They accept that their policies and actions that produce these dangers damage children and they expect us to accept that this collateral damage to innocent children and their families is necessary in order to stop other people drowning at sea. This is clear evidence that political decisions that leave these children abused and destroyed are executed with intent. This is done in our name. My vote will go to a party that stands up for the children. We are paying billions of dollars to abuse these children. Our children will pay many more billions in compensation in the future. As a mother and grandmother I find this unacceptable. If we converted the dollars currently spent into faster assessment (85 per cent or more of asylum seekers are eventually granted refugee status) in transit countries, we could bring people here in a more orderly way and avoid long stays, sometimes years, in detention. Our prime minister, before his elevation to this position, said “one child in detention is one child too many”. We have an obligation under law to care for these children. Surely we also have a moral obliga-

Facts on the pool I refer to the article published last week in the Bendigo Weekly regarding pool costs. The information quoted regarding the possible closure of the Golden Square Pool is outdated. Council agreed at this year’s June meeting that the Golden Square Pool has the option of staying open after the new indoor complex at Kangaroo Flat opens as long as the pool remains financially viable and the water quality is maintained within regulated levels. Council made this decision because the facts upon which the original decision to close the Golden Square Pool were based on have changed. Since being handed over to the community the Golden Square Pool has become the second least subsidised outdoor pool at $6.67 per patron entry. This is an amazing turn-around in such a short period and shows what wonderful results a committed community group of volunteers

can achieve. With council contributing to operational costs only and not repairs, maintenance or capital works at the Golden Square Pool should continue to be very cost effective into the future. Note that last year council spent a total of $250,000 on works at all the other outdoor pools. Golden Square Pool’s share of this was zero, with the committee paying for pool painting and repairs this winter. The Golden Square Pool committee and the many dedicated volunteers greatly appreciate council’s operating cost contribution to the pool each year and we are all looking forward to another fantastic season. Our opening is Saturday, November 14 with free entry all day. Ken Hamilton, President, Golden Square Pool

A safe environment Can someone please explain to me how our council expects more people to take up cycling instead of driving, when so many of our bike lanes and paths have broken glass that never gets removed? I regularly ride around town and along bike paths and I am often faced with the decision to either swerve into the car lane to avoid broken glass in the bike lane or pop my tyres by riding straight through the glass.

I also ride along the bike path that connects Golden Square, Long Gully and North Bendigo, where I often have to stop and physically remove the glass to get through. In February this year I sent a letter to council requesting something be done more regularly to clean up these areas. Their response was to only do one single clean up of the bike path mentioned, which I only found out about recently when I called up customer services to check what was happening with my request. Obviously cleaning a bike path once isn’t going to help if there are people who continually smash bottles in these areas. Here’s an idea: the council could organise a work for the dole program which involves people who receive benefits to clean the bike paths at least once a week. This wouldn’t cost the council anything and would encourage people to use the bike paths rather than driving all the time – win-win. I also don’t think it is too much to ask that the street sweeping machines be used more regularly to keep bike lanes on roads free from glass. Encouraging people to ride is the easy part. Creating a safe environment in our city for people to ride through, is what will ultimately see the council’s vision come to fruition. Elissa Weightman, Golden Square

editorial

Time to prepare THERE’S a silent foe creeping up on our community, and it’s one that poses a very real and unwelcome threat none of us would welcome. In the past month or so, Bendigo, like much of inland Australia, has seen dry weather tighten its grip on especially the rural sector, and the sudden increase in temperatures and a spate of hot northerly winds have done a lot of damage and increased a lot of people’s concerns. Many farmers have borne the brunt of all this, and their hopes and expectations for a decent harvest have been cruelly dashed. Among many other things, these hard working salt of the earth small business owners need help, or more precisely, they need our understanding. They need governments to acknowledge the terrible situation many now find themselves in, and for relief

measures to be enacted to help ease some of the pressure and stress. Thankfully, our urban communities are far better placed today to withstand the challenges any prolonged drought can throw at us than we were just a generation or so ago. The dry and warm conditions have also brought on an early fire season, and one that is already shaping up to be a bad one. The central area of Victoria, roughly bounded by the Campaspe River to the east, across to Horsham and Cressy and up to and including Greater Bendigo, has been identified as the area causing authorities the most concern. A lack of rainfall means crops have failed, but it also means the soil is very dry, and that things will continue to dry very rapidly – unless we get some decent rainfall. Previous fire events have proven that no matter where we live in this

great part of the world, we need to be wary and respectful of the weather conditions and to take precautions to help reduce the likelihood of fire where we live. We could yet be lucky, and our region will hopefully be spared any major fire activity this season, but we’ve already seen one major blaze near Lancefield, so we know we need to be prepared. All of us need to have a good look at our own individual patch of paradise – clean up any garden mess, long grass, wood piles etc. Take the time to check out sites like that of the CFA - www.cfa.vic.gov. au and inform ourselves, and our families about ways to prepare for the upcoming summer. Being informed and prepared is not difficult – but it is vitally important. It could even save your life.

opinion By EMER CAMPBELL North Central CMA

I REFER to the recent letter “Queries on Campaspe” (Bendigo Weekly, October 23) and write to clarify the Campaspe River environmental water management. Eppalock Dam is a manmade water storage constructed to secure Bendigo’s water supply and create a consistent supply of water for downstream users, including irrigators. When the dam was constructed in the 1960s, it had a strong impact on the river environmentally. The Campaspe River is one of this region’s most significant environmental assets, as well as providing recreational and economic benefits to the communities it flows through, including Axedale, Rochester and Echuca. The environmental flows from the Eppalock Dam towards Echuca (and beyond) go a small way to mitigating the environmental impact of the creation of the dam. In response to declining river and wetland health due to water extraction, governments have invested significantly to recover water for the environment. In Victoria, this has occurred largely through water-saving projects, such as improving the efficiency of water delivery for towns and farms. Some of the water sav-

ings from these projects are then converted into environmental water entitlements. An environmental water entitlement is a legal right to access a share of water subject to certain rules and conditions. In this way, it is the same as other water entitlements, including consumptive water entitlements used for towns, industry and irrigation. Environmental water makes up only 19 per cent of Victorian water entitlements. Urban water (20 per cent)

mental Water Holder. The flow, like all environmental flows, is part of a Seasonal Watering Plan, approved and signed off by the VEWH. No environmental water has been sold in the Campaspe System. Environmental water, upon reaching the Murray River, is reused at multiple Victorian sites and even downstream as far as the lower lakes, thus providing multiple benefits from the water. Each watering plan is based on rigorous evidence-

No environmental water has been sold in the Campaspe System and irrigation (59 per cent) are the two biggest users. There is no legal entitlement for recreation water in the Campaspe system, however environmental flows also deliver significant social and recreational value to communities and economies. Environmental water is generally subject to the same allocation system as irrigation and urban entitlements. When there is less water available in the system, environmental water allocations are reduced. The North Central Catchment Management Authority manages the Campaspe River environmental flow on behalf of the Victorian Environ-

based and peer-reviewed scientific environmental flow studies. In the case of the Campaspe, the plan was developed by a panel of ecologists from a number of riverine disciplines. The plan was peer reviewed by industry leading ecologists who have experience working for institutions such as the CSIRO and leading Australian universities. These plans are based on regular monitoring and are also developed with input from community organisations and local landholders. Adjustments are made if needed, based on the latest evidence available. In recognition of the cur-

rent dry conditions on the Campaspe, significant adjustments have been made to the environmental flows management this year. Flow releases have been reduced up to 70 per cent when compared to last year. Those reductions are based on using the minimum flows necessary to keep the river alive, while trying to build as much resilience as possible for the upcoming dry period. Using up to 70 per cent less water this year means, if needed, water is available in case of an emergency. In 2007, summer rain caused a toxic blackwater event in the river, which killed hundreds of fish and other aquatic animals. Carrying water over this year, like irrigators do, allows us to use it to flush the river if another summer storm strikes. In regards to the benefits of environmental flows to mammals and reptiles, the North Central CMA is in regular contact with some of Australia’s leading platypus and turtle experts. This allows any flows to be timed to best benefit the animals. When referring to reptiles in an aquatic environment, the focus is turtles who are water dependant, rather than lizards. We welcome involvement and feedback. Contact us on 03 5448 7124.

Paper Kites on a high ART CLASS: Danielle Connelly with Karen Annett-Thomas.

Photographers CLICK B

ENDIGO Senior Secondary College celebrated its next generation of young photographers on Monday night at the annual CLICK exhibition and awards ceremony. The evening kicked off with the sweet sounds of Year 11 student and recent The Voice contestant Paris Cassar singing a mix of covers and original songs, before awards judge, Dr Karen Annett-Thomas, announced the 2015 winners, including the two works acquired by the college; Danielle Connelly’s “Tears” and Olivia Watkin’s “Tale as Old as Time”. Dr Annett-Thomas congratulated the students on their open-minded and experimental approach to photography and praised the diversity of the exhibition.

CASTLEMAINE SET: The Paper Kites.

OLLOWING on from the successes of their second album twelvefour, Melbourne band The Paper Kites played Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal last Thursday. The group’s laid-back vibes meshed perfectly with the intimate setting, with lead singer Sam Bentley’s heartfelt lyrics soaked up by the crowd at the historic building.

Playing songs off twelvefour and the band’s debut album States, as well as some even earlier EP work, Bentley and co produced a memorable show. The band launched straight into Revelator Eyes at the start of the concert, but the highlight of the night was Bentley and Christina Lacy’s empassioned acoustic performance of Neon Crimson halfway through.

The other members of the band left the stage, leaving Bentley and Lacy accompanied by just a cassette for two songs before being re-joined by Dave Powys, Sam Rasmussen and Josh Bentley. The five-piece was supported by Patrick James, and the tour continues until November 8. – Joel Peterson

“Your work is inclusive and accessible,” she told the students. “It is fresh and free of the constraints of the medium,” she said. She also urged the students never to lose their curiosity. “Continue to experiment. Learn the rules – and then break them. Continue to hold a mirror up to the people around you and retain the playfulness, truth, hope and optimism of your youthful photography.” Head of arts at BSSC, Marcus Patching, congratulated all the students who exhibited, reminding them how brave they were for putting their work out there on public exhibition. CLICK can be viewed on the E2 arts floor, during school hours, until November 6.

Fresh talent on show akin to finding needle‐in‐the‐haystack,” Thompson said. “For those artists who persist the reward is worth the effort because it gives them the inspiration to combine history with youthful exuberance and craft something unique.” The 2015 festival has embraced this new sound, showcasing the talents of young blues and roots artists on not one, not two but three stages during the four day festival scheduled for November 5 to 8. Thompson said the youth stage would return for a second year, featuring the talents of local and visiting musicians aged 25 and under. “The stage aims to cultivate the next generation of artists by provid-

For years, she’s performed around the city and has seen a lot of new music venues open up. “Although I’ve performed nationally and internationally, I’ve always come back to Brisbane,” she said.

“I’ve played most of my shows there.” Once again Calvert is swapping Brisbane for Bendigo as she heads down south for the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival. And she’s excited. “I’m always excited to be a part of it,” she said. “The festival is definitely one of my favourites. Bendigo is lovely and it really is wonderful how the

HE streets of Bendigo are about to get a whole lot more musical, and a whole lot more international. With Americana roots and the spice of Mexico from just south of the border, Abbie Cardwell is a talent for which Australia is lucky to claim. Playing banjo, guitar, and ukulele, Abbie’s “local” music scene isn’t exactly ‘local’. “My ‘local’ is Melbourne, Brissy, and Mexico, so that’s a tad confusing for most,” Cardwell said. “But it means I get to play with bands in all these places all around the world.” Although Cardwell writes and performs solo, she also collaborates and performs with bands internationally, with her main stages in Australia and Mexico. Now in Bendigo for the Blues and Roots festival, Cardwell has new music and a new band to show off, too. What else can she possibly have in store? Well, “Fun times,” Cardwell said. “My past experience in playing Bendigo Blues festival has been great. “It’s a great town doing a great thing to celebrate grass roots music and a musical community.” As well as believing the Blues and Roots festival is essential for tourism as well as the fun of the locals of Bendigo, Cardwell also believes it’s just as essential for the musicians on stage. “It’s crucial if you want to encourage creative expression,” she said. “It’s a hallmark event in the Bendigo calendar.” And what can fans and festival‐goers expect to hear and see this year? “Come and find out,” Cardwell said.

ing professional experience, mentoring and the chance to perform in front of a live audience,” he said. “Our audience appreciates this initiative, with our youth events often ranking among patron’s favourite festival experiences.” The Lazenby Young Blues Guitarist Award will also return in 2015, pitting three young guitarists against each other in a battle for glory, with the winner taking home a 2010 Fender Telecaster owned by the late Phil Lazenby. Local school bands will a have their chance to show off the talent of their young performers as well at a one‐off showcase at The Engine Room in View Street.

festival takes over the whole town. “I’ve never been to a town that loves music as much as Bendigo. Everyone is so friendly and helpful – it really is like the whole town loves music.” She said the regional support Bendigo offers for its music scene is probably second‐to‐none. “Every town could be improved by a lively and supportive music scene,” Calvert said.

“But Bendigo is extremely lucky to have someone like Colin Thompson. He’s not only one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met, but also an endless supporter of musicians and live music in Bendigo.” To catch Calvert’s sets, keep your weekend clear and check out the festival’s online program at www.bendigobluesandroots.com.au – Amy‐Jane Wewer

Scots day has an Edinburgh film flavour A

NEW international cultural partnership will link Bendigo’s Scots Day Out with the Edinburgh Short Film Festival. Highlights from the ESFF will have their only Australian screening over the two nights leading up to SDO 2016 on February 13. Nine short films will be shown at Bendigo’s Central Deborah Mine on February 11 and 12. SDO director Chris Earl said: “This creative partnership between Bendigo and Edinburgh is a wonderful cultural fit for two cities with fine reputations for artistic engagement in our communities. “We are delighted to be bringing this taste of contemporary Scotland to Bendigo as part of celebrations leading to our city’s great free community event in Rosalind Park in February.

“SDO each year puts Bendigo on the national Scottish stage with its unique Rosalind Park setting and attracts visitors from across Australia to our city. The partnership with Edinburgh Short Film Festival can take Bendigo and SDO to an even wider audience.” ESFF director Paul Bruce said the Bendigo partnership built on recent links with film festivals in Trinidad and Sardinia for the Edinburgh event that evolved from the Leith Short Film Festival in 2011. “We like to see our short films screens in venues with a very different ambience to traditional cinemas,” he said. “But we haven’t been to a heritage tram depot or mine before so the Bendigo experience will be truly unique.” Mr Bruce said he had selected

nine short films for the Bendigo screenings ranging from comedy and drama to modern Scottish music, creativity and survival. “I hope Australia enjoys the journey of modern Scotland through our wonderful short films and we look forward to furthering our cultural links between Edinburgh and Bendigo.” The full list of short films to be screened as part of Bendigo’s SDO Festival will be released later this year. A treat for blues purists and curious novices alike, this concert is sure to one of the highlights of the 2015 festival. Secure your seat now by visiting the festival website www.bendigobluesandroots.com.au to buy a ticket. The show runs from 8pm to 11pm at the Federation Room, The Shamrock Hotel, Pall Mall.

Acclaimed West End revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking musical CATS comes to Australia for a strictly limited season This 2015 Olivier Award-nominated hit revival, was reworked for the recent West End season, by the original creative team, received rave reviews and extended its season due to overwhelming demand. Our very own Delta Goodrem will play the coveted role of Grizabella and will sing Memory, one of the most well-known songs of all time in the Sydney, Hobart and Melbourne seasons. This hit revival introduces a rapping ‘street cat’ in the famous Rum Tum Tugger role, who will perform some serious breakdancing

CATS, one of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway history, received its world premiere at the New London Theatre in 1981 where it played for 21 record-breaking years and almost 9,000 performances. The ground-breaking production was the winner of the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Musical.

bookclub Gallery Book Fair

VERY exciting event is coming up for book lovers on November 14, 10am to 3pm. For the first time the Bendigo library is combining with the Friends of Bendigo Art Gallery to produce the Gallery Book Fair. Second hand titles will cover a range of fiction genres as well as non-fiction. There will be art books, autobiographies, gardening books, history, vintage magazines, handcraft, large print as well as audio books. The book fair will be held in the gallery forecourt, but if the weather is unseasonable it will move inside.

Review Jinx Hugh McGinlay Threekookaburras $22

IS the season for impractical headwear so it seems appropriate that the fictitious heroine of homegrown Melbourne novel Jinx should be a milliner. One-time police investigator Catherine Kint – burned out by constant job pressure and now working to rebuild herself through a change of pace – is busy in her new career with client orders for the Spring Racing Carnival when her attention is diverted by a murder committed unnervingly close to home. The implication of trusted friend Melissa Zamansky as the only suspect leaves Kint with few options: in the interests of seeing justice served, she downs her hat-making tools immediately and goes in search of the model-like real-estate agent’s true killer. Set on and around Sydney Road in suburban Brunswick, Jinx weaves elements of witchcraft, voodoo and the occult together with mainstream 21st-century Gen X living in a location that will be familiar to any Victorian who has visited Melbourne Zoo or Princess Park. Can Kint – sleuthing along the local laneways between all-night Google searches with IT virtuoso Nealander Singh and all-day gin sessions with best mate Boris Shakhovsky – assemble sufficient evidence to both exonerate Zamansky and identify the actual culprit before any further deaths occur? With time already against her, Kint finds her task complicated further by the presence of attractive New Age spiritualist Asher Marr – the victim’s long-term boyfriend – and his glowering, physically aggressive brother Shiloh. Could the twitchy, threatening, plainer Marr have been behind the young woman’s gruesome throat-slashing, carried out in an alley dressed with Wiccan symbols on a solstice? Believable (if decidedly unconventional) characters, a rapid pace and unpredictable plot twists combine to make Jinx an entertaining few hours’ escapism from day-to-day reality and a glimpse into the eclectic, bohemian world of Melbourne’s inner north. That Jinx has been produced locally is a bonus. – Rosalea Ryan

The winning costume Journo Laura was stuck for the ideal cup outfit

AURA the horse girl had a bit of a quandary this week. Laura’s our reporter, and one of the joys of her week was the Bendigo Cup. She had to work, so it wasn’t all playing about, but she had an all areas pass so she could get to all the interesting places. The bar was ruled out because she was working, but the stables were definitely in. If you have never met a horse nut you’re lucky. Horse nuts would prefer to spend time in the saddle or shovelling up poo or brushing horses rather than dealing with people. Spending is all horse based too. With a horse you just have to have the horse float to take the babies around, and once you have the float you need the big vehicle to pull it. No way can you get into this game for less than $30k, and that doesn’t include the horses. And then there are the horse rugs. Once we had confirmed Laura was in the right camp to cover the cup, we discovered the other dilemma. It seems Laura could not work out what to wear. The standard dress is of course something diaphanous and summery with a hat and posh shoes. Trouble is of course this does not work when you want to traipse around the stables and step in among the poo and the mess.

Laura cuts quite a good look in smart casual, which would work for some events but may be a tad short on required for the cup. My limited experience of the cup seems to revolve around people in lovely clothes, covered in mud and champagne lying flat out on the grass. But I may be overstating this. So it seems Laura had the right idea, something sensible and paddock boots being the order of the day. Sports reporter Joel was at the cup too, looking like a cross between a young David Bowie and David Beckham. Effortless style whether at work or play.

Laura, foolishly asked for some advice, and Joel was quick to comment. “You want to dress up, but want to hang around the stables. Why don’t you dress up as a horse,” he said. The idea obviously appealed, and I got the impression she had a horse costume at home, but I don’t want to saddle her with that. However, if you were at the cup and saw a rather tall horse wearing a yellow media pass hanging around the stables, that was our girl hunting for a scoop. You know how messy horses can be. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

A festival for twilight returns A

COLOURFUL one-night festival celebrating community life, healthy food and social connection is coming back to Bendigo. The twilight event, held for the first time two years ago at St Matthew’s Church, Long Gully, is planned for Friday, November 6, from 4.30pm to 8pm. Last year, visitors found plenty to see and do, with demonstrations of wood turning, mosaic making, mural art, face painting and cooking, plus roving buskers, a drumming workshop, Devonshire teas, a barbecue and plant sales. This time, food on offer will include pizzas cooked in the church’s wood-fired oven, Devonshire teas, Karen cuisine, a dessert making session and a barbecue, while the kids will be kept busy with face painting, scarecrow making, decorating plaster garden gnomes and toys on display from the Out of the Box Toy Library, which is based at the church. Other expected features will include fire

DRUMMING UP SUPPORT: The workshop was a popular attraction last year.

buckets, drumming workshops, an art show featuring the efforts of local primary school children, a collage project, seedling sales and live music. Organising committee member Colin Taylor said friends of the garden had been quick to offer their help for the event.

“People from across Bendigo have put up their hands to help out and that’s greatly appreciated,” Mr Taylor said. “We’re sure all who come will find plenty of enjoyable activities on offer.” For more details on the event, phone Colin on 0409 909 320 or Anthea on 0409 136 567.

what’s on...

German flavour A

NOTHER associate of the Sandhurst Ethiopian Serenaders (SES) spent most of his time in the Bendigo area as a publican. As readers, you would have noticed when following this series of articles on the theme of the SES that among their number there have already been some others who were “mein host” for the public. My quarry on this occasion was John Nissen, a man well known in Bendigo during the 1870s through to the time of his death towards the end of 1886. Initially when seeing the name little would one have suspected that this man was among many that constituted a significant sized German community on this goldfield. He came from Kellinghusen, in the northern part of Holstein and was named Johannes Nissen, born c1841. In 1860 he made his way to the colony of Victoria because of the gold discoveries. Mr Nissen too involved himself in mining activity with other fellow countrymen in the Whipstick; at first as a puddler and later having his own claim on the Jacob’s Reef. He was also was a gold buyer purchasing nuggets from fortunate diggers. The Whipstick is

renowned for the dryness of the area and Mr Nissen realised with the hard labour involved in winning gold that miners developed a great thirst. Being a good German, there was no better way to quench one’s own thirst as well as that of the others than through the supply of beer. He became the licensee on the Whipstick diggings of the Hamburg Hotel in July 1868. Mr Nissen was challenged in the Warden’s Court for his mining claim. By the early 1870s with the city enjoying the then benefits if the gold mining company boom he became the licensee of the European Hotel in High Street, owned initially by his brother-in-law Heinrich C Bockelman. Mein host advertised to the public and more specifically to those who came from the fatherland, the wonderful German cuisine that was available. Many of the local German butchers were able to supply small goods along with the forequarter pigs trotters that would be roasted and served with potatoes and sauerkraut. Meals were priced at one shilling. The European Hotel was where the Deutscher Verein met frequently in the upstairs area, there was also

a library of German books of some 5000 volumes, the largest outside of Melbourne. A separate entrance at the hotel led to the stairs for the sake of those who were members of this German organisation. There was also a German Liedertafel that met and performed in their first floor rooms. The Liedertafel additionally conducted balls which were well patronised by the local German community and their fellow colonial friends. In 1883 the Salvation Army had purchased land opposite the European Hotel and they intended to erect their barracks on that site. Months later John Nissen, as Johannes was then called, reported his pocket watch as being stolen to the police. The perpetrators of the theft had been recently converted to the powerful message of the Salvation Army. The missing watch was sent back to Nissen by registered post with a note of sincere apology stating that they now knew that what they had done had been totally wrong. Many different organisations met within the walls of the European Hotel including the Miners’ Association, Friendly Societies. Farewells

to prominent personalities such as that for mining manager Robert Carr were also held there. On one occasion in 1875 Mr Nissen was charged with having run a sweepstake, he had not realised that this was illegal. Being an honest man he immediately proceeded to return the monies paid in, and apologised to each of the individual punters. Detective Alexander said that Nissen had been a man of thoroughly good character; he being fined £1. Mr Nissen’s charitable work with the SES had chiefly been by being an accompanist on the piano either with their singing or dancing. Similarly when prominent investor Charles Christensen was leaving Bendigo, an influential gathering was held at the City Family Hotel, during the evening songs were sung, all accompanied by Mr Nissen.

Project History in Food and Fast Moving Consumer Goods As a result of growth we have a new opportunity for a Project Engineer. Identifying process improvements, developing feasibility studies and then executing and actioning projects by coordinating key stakeholders, you will then be instrumental in ensuring projects are on time and budget before reviewing opportunities for further improvement. This is a hands-on role for someone both technically and process minded – it includes a very wide scope. To be considered for this role it is essential you demonstrate a commitment to the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices within a quality driven environment. Ideally you will have previous experience as a Project Engineer and/or will have had exposure to project coordination in a manufacturing environment. You will be flexible, energetic, safety conscious and able to function effectively in a small, largely self-managed team environment. Persons with a tertiary and/or trade background with strong organisational skills are encouraged to apply.

HIS well-known, reliable and efficient family business, Holloway Airconditioning and Plumbing, is currently offering a fantastic spring special. For just $99 you can have your evaporative cooler unit serviced in time to beat the summer heat wave. By taking advantage of the special offer you will be confident that breakdowns will be prevented. Holloway Airconditioning say that many of the breakdowns they are called out to each year could have been avoided with a simple service. Servicing of the cooler unit includes cleaning out and disinfecting the inside of the cooler unit; flushing out any mud and debris; washing filter pads; checking and adjusting the operation of the inlet valve, dump valve, pump, fan and weather seal (where fitted). Holloways are able to offer a report on any components that are on their way out and may require future replacing and repair of any parts that are not working. They can also give you total peace of mind knowing that you can come home to a cool home this summer. And in case you are wondering, Holloways are also offering a special service offer on split systems. Just give them a call for details.

ITH summer just round the corner there is still time to call Nathan Maber of Temp Tech Air Conditioning to ensure your air conditioning is working as it should. Nathan and Chris are both licensed plumbers and have more than 20 years of experience between them servicing, repairing and installing all your cooling and heating needs. “Being out of sight, means out of mind for most people when it comes time to service your air-conditioner or evaporative cooler,” Nathan said. “Getting in early often avoids the pitfall of having to sit through the first heat-wave with an ineffective air conditioner.” As well as decreasing the incidences of an unexpected break down at the most inopportune time a service will also reduce

For all your cooling needs CALL US FIRST (03) 5441 3158 158-160 Murphy St, Bendigo East

the possibility of airborne contamination for you and your family. “Many of our customers don’t seem to realise that their cooling and heating appliances should be regularly serviced.” “A basic service is under a hundred dollars and seniors even receive a further discount.” Nathan says that air conditioners are a bit like cars - they’ll keep going but lose efficiency over time. Bendigo Temp Tech Air Conditioning can also supply and install your new airconditioner and being truly independent means they can recommend the most efficient brand for your particular situation, regardless of manufacturer. So to obtain a competitive quote for all your cooling and heating needs or just a simple service to see you through summer, phone Nathan on 0407 972 717.

ADOPT-A-PET OPT A Neutered Male, 4 Years. Grey.

Dudley

Maltese

Dudley was very knotted and neglected. With a complete clip he is a completely different boy. He would love to go to a home with no kids, so he has one on one attention. He would benefit from some further training. If you feel that you could give this little man the home he needs then come and meet him, I know you’ll fall in love.

Neutered Male, 1 year. Ginger & white.

Poppit was very shy but has now gained the confidence to socialize with the other cats, is so much happier and is very affectionate towards them. He would be happy to live with another cat, as this is where he finds his comfort. If you think that you can give Poppit a great home, then come in and meet him today.

Spirit coach upbeat LAST weekend wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Bendigo Spirit, but that doesn’t worry coach Simon Pritchard. The Spirit head west for a WNBL double header this weekend as the side tackles Perth and Adelaide. The team endured a trying weekend in round three, belted by Dandenong last Friday before grinding out a win against the winless Canberra on Saturday night at home. The weekend was not without its issues for the club, who will travel west without the injured Heather Oliver, but Pritchard believes having some teething problems early in the year as the side did as it trailed Canberra into the last quarter is beneficial. “It’s a good thing for us to not have things going our way because it tests the group and makes the group find a way to get the job done,” he said. If you just play your games out in

front all the time, when you play tight games at the end of the season and face some adversity you don’t know what to do with it. “So it’s best to have that now, and I don’t have any issue with it at all. We came away with a win against Canberra, and maybe if we lost I would have more of an issue with it.” Bendigo tackles Perth Lynx on Friday night in Perth before travelling to Adelaide to play the Lightning on Sunday. Perth demolished top side Dandenong last Sunday after Bendigo went down to the Rangers by 32 points earlier in the weekend, but Bendigo has already beaten the Lynx this season and will be looking to make it double on Friday. Stopping the likes of Lynx guards Tessa Lavey and Sami Whitcomb and forwards Nat Burton and Louella Tomlinson will be high on the priority list for Bendigo.

“Heather Oliver player a really important role with us last time because she guarded Sami Whitcomb, so with her not travelling we will have to find a matchup there,” Pritchard said. “It’s really going to be a tough ask, and we need the likes of Sarah McAp-

EVCA – Division 1

Gully down to United

SPEEDSTER: Saheed Akolade.

TEENAGER Xavier Walsh’s lone hand of 97 secured a first-up win for United over Golden Gully in round one of the Emu Valley Cricket Association. Walsh was dismissed just shy of his century as United overhauled their target of 146 set by the Cobras on day one. He got little support from his teammates, Andrew Duguid and Josh White the only two other United batsmen to make it out of single digits as a steady Cobras attack shared the wickets around. United were eventually dismissed for 169 before sending the Cobras back in to bat, but the hosts just held on during their 22 overs losing 8/103 but avoiding an outright defeat. At Club Court, Sedgwick went down to Emu Creek in a thrilling run chase, bowled out for 193 in reply to the Emus’ 196. The Rams looked to be in trouble at 7/109, but a 69-run stand between Scott McKenzie and Lucas Baldwin got the hosts back into the game before McKenzie was trapped lbw off the bowling of Leigh Byrne for 51. The Emus’ bowlers met some resistance from the Sedgwick tail but Baldwin, Luke Southon and Cameron Berry could only put on 13 runs for the last two wickets leaving the Rams stranded four runs short of first innings points after 53 overs. Simon Marwood took three wickets for Emu Creek, who host Maiden Gully in round two. Gully was defeated by Marong in its

game at Maiden Gully Reserve, Panthers’ paceman Jeremy Ross ripping through the Gully attack to claim five wickets. Anthony Gorrie (40), Trevor Pickthall (75) and Leigh Draper (31) all made contributions, but Gully could not form a partnership of more than 59 as none of its eight other batsmen could make more than four runs. Ross’ five wicket effort was complemented by Duane Anderson’s 2/48. In other games, Mandurang kicked its premiership defence off with a comfortable win over West Bendigo that sees the Rangas atop the table after one round, and a Joel Bish century was not enough for Axe Creek who went down to Spring Gully.

Tennis festival time THE Bendigo Tennis Association’s third annual Bendigo Festival of Tennis kicks off next week, with three major tournaments set to be held at the BTA’s Nolan Street headquarters. The fortnight long event gets under way with the Bendigo International Pro Tour juniors event from Saturday until Wednesday November 3 before the senior Australian Money Tournament follows from November 4 to 7.

The Australian Wheelchair Championships will follow from November 13, the first time the event will be held at the BTA’s courts. “It has been a great event for us over the last few years and we are looking forward to the 2015 edition,” BTA executive officer Leon Retallick said last week. “There is always some great tennis on offer so hopefully we have plenty of people come down and have a look

over the duration of the festival.” Retallick said the inclusion of the wheelchair event was a big boost for the BTA. “I think there will be about 40 wheelchair competitors here in men’s, women’s and junior age groups,” Retallick said. “We used to run the Victorian Wheelchair Open many moons ago, so to be able to bring a high class event here is great.”

Bush spectacle at QEO ST KILDA and Prahran emerged victorious from last weekend’s Premier Cricket Bush Bash at the Queen Elizabeth Oval. Held in perfect conditions, the two daynight games on Friday and Saturday provided plenty of entertainment for spectators. In Friday’s men’s premier clash a first innings 91 from Casey South Melbourne’s Kasun Suriaratchie wasn’t enough as St Kilda overran the total comfortably. St Kilda opener Harry Michelmore belted an unbeaten 110 off 148 balls, including eight fours and five sixes, and captain Graeme Rummans (63 not out) steered the Saints to an

BENDIGO team MTA/Pedders Racing will head to Sydney Motorsport Park in a fortnight’s time to seal a fourth consecutive national title after a trying round at Wakefield Park recently.

The Pedders Toyota 86, driven by locals Grant Phillips and Andrew Turpie, had taken out class honour in the season’s first

who doubted this little volunteer country team would keep going, and now we’ve had this weekend which has undoubtedly shown exactly what our crew is all about,” Phillips said. “We can’t thank the students and teachers at Motorsports Training Australia enough for all the effort, time and talent they put into our team, not just at this event, but by operating the 86 all season.” The final round of the championship will be held from November 13 to 15 at Sydney Motorsports Park.

Philips and Turpie went on to take class honours once again after the trying lead-up, and said it would not have been possible without the assistance of their Motorsports Training Australia students. “We’ve had five seasons in national competition, we’ve had many tough events, we’ve had many

Cam Taylor’s 95 led the Suns to a comfortable win over Kangaroo Flat last week, while Strathfieldsaye’s Andrew Stove spun Huntly North into all kinds of trouble, taking six wickets as the Power were rolled for just 95.

eight-wicket victory. Saturday’s women’s game saw Prahran take a dominant nine-wicket win against Plenty Valley. Opener Sophie Reid anchored the Plenty Valley innings, making 55 of the first innings total of 131. No other Plenty Valley player made above 20. Prahran made a shaky start with Emma Reid dismissed cheaply but Isabelle Westbury and Jess Cameron showed their class, making 53 and 65 respectively as Prahran overran the total after just 32 overs.

Gai’s cup win Photo: JOEL PETERSON

WHILE Gai Waterhouse’s win with The Offer in Wednesday’s $300,000 Jayco Bendigo Cup is far from her biggest moment in racing, you would hardly have known it. As she made her way to the mounting yard post-race, Waterhouse was positively beaming, giving connections the thumbs up and overheard almost yelling “how good is this?” Minutes earlier, Kiwi jockey Michael Walker had just given top weight The Offer the perfect run, heading the field at the 300-metre mark and

streaking to victory ahead of Robert Hickmott-trained Divan and John Sargeant’s hope Kirramosa to take out the 2015 cup by three quarters of a length. The early speed in the race was brought by Thunderset, Araldo Junior and Wexford Town, but as that trio dropped back as they swung for home The Offer took control of the race and never looked back. The good three track, praised by Walker after the feature event, didn’t suit The Offer, but the gelding had the goods to get the job done regardless. Waterhouse had bigger things on

her mind for The Offer straight after the race, with the seven-year-old set for Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup, a race he was a one-time favourite for last year.

Who knows, it could win the Bendigo Cup and go on and win the Melbourne Cup six days from today

When quizzed on The Offer’s Melbourne Cup chances post-race she said, “Can he do it? His price has dropped already.” “One of the biggest problems you have with winning the races is you go

other club last week and he asked ‘have you got a horse for the Bendigo Cup?’,” Waterhouse said. “I scratched my head and said ‘yes, I think I might’ and off we came.” Dreschler said it was a dream come true for the cup, in its first year of being at a Group Three level, to produce a winner that will go on to run in the race that stops the nation. “It’s fantastic… it’s a dream that we had a long time ago,” Dreschler said. “Who knows, it could win the Bendigo Cup and go on and win the Melbourne Cup six days from today.”
