BENDIGO is open for tens of millions of dollars of redevelopment around the city heart after the state government yesterday agreed to rezone land to accommodate multistorey apartments and more offices.

Bendigo could capitalise on the zoning changes. The land can be developed for apartment buildings up to five storeys high containing residences and office space.s The council will need to consider the prevalence in the High St

health precinct. Bridge St could become an outer CBD cafe strip if the council realises its vision the for the southern edge of the proposed precinct. Mr Wynne also announced a zoning change that will open up another 14.4 hectares of residential
land in Marong. “Bendigo is thriving and we are making sure there is a clear plan in place to protect the area’s history and character while providing more homes and development opportunities,” he said. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the potential to improve the gateway into Bendigo on High St was “phenomenal”.

ONE of Bendigo’s most historic homes has been sold. Lansellstowe, built by George Lansell for one of his sons in 1913, is a three-storey ornate mansion, located at 60 Barkly Terrace in one of the city’s most sought after areas. Tweed Sutherland First National managing director and industry stalwart Craig Tweed said the sale, at an undisclosed price, would add considerable confidence to the top end of the city’s real estate market, which he believed was as healthy and vibrant as it had been during his time in the industry. “I don’t think I’ve seen the top end of the market as good as this,” Mr Tweed said. He said the sale of Lansell-
GREAT GATE: Lansellstowe has sold. stowe was the culmination of a three-year campaign that had drawn national attention for
the city and the many positive attractions offered by the local real estate industry.
“People from out of town cannot believe how attractive our property values are here in Bendigo,” he said. Mr Tweed also heaped praise upon local businessman Paul Banks, stating it was Mr Banks’ purchase of the historic Fortuna Villa in 2013 that really kick started a revival in the city’s property market’s upper reaches. “That really put Bendigo on the map,” he said. Mr Tweed said there had been a good run of top-end sales for period homes in the local market, with more and more people drawn to the early Victorian and Federation architecture. “These properties are starting to realise their real worth.”
Minister on a high From Page 1 “There is a lot of land ripe for development around High Street and having proper plans in place means future growth will enhance the street and create a real gateway into our CBD,” she said. Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe said the High St boulevard amendment would enable the area to be rejuvenated into a contemporary district. Cr Fyffe added that the amendment for the hospital precinct would enable Bridge St to be opened up the potential for offices, cafes and restaurants, medical centres, and apartment-style housing. The hospital precinct amendment applies to land surrounding the new Bendigo hospital, generally bounded by Norfolk, Smith, Nolan, Napi-

tens of millions of dollars of investment. The amendment impacts on about 12 hectares of land between Short and Shamrock streets.

Banks slug borrowers Home deposits hiked in slow-selling areas
By SHARON KEMP
YOUNG families are unable to borrow or are being asked by banks to stump up a 40 per cent deposit to buy houses in small towns surrounding Bendigo. As housing affordability circles as a key issue in an imminent federal election, the Bendigo Weekly can report banks are demanding large deposits from young families looking to get a start in the housing market by buying cheaper houses in towns such as Raywood, Inglewood and Goornong. Bendigo mortgage brokers and DCK real estate agent Matt Bowles have confirmed the trend which has left some young families unable to afford a $80,000
deposit on a $200,000 house. Federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said she would seek meetings with local banks and write to federal finance and treasury ministers to find more inclusive lending models. She said she was shocked to hear of young families who could not afford to buy in Bendigo’s more expensive housing market but were also being locked out of cheaper markets. “It should always be about someone’s capacity to repay the loan,” she said. A new $1 million school was built in Raywood, 40 kilometres north of Bendigo, less than five
years ago as part of the Building the Education Revolution initiative. The community also plans to develop new facilities catering to children as part of its future township plans. Mr Bowles said banks’ reluctance to lend to buyers in small towns meant houses could take longer to sell and therefore were assessed by lenders as high risk. “The problem becomes selfperpetuating,” Mr Bowles said. “I grew up in the little town of Dingee and it was full of kids and we had no trouble filling football and netball teams but it is not the case anymore.”
Greg Gadsden, of Bendigo mortgage broking firm Gadsden Finance, described the lending practice as an “unfortunate part of the housing landscape”. He said some banks would not lend to buyers in smaller towns at all. The bank valued a property on an estimate of how long it would take to sell the house if the borrower could not repay the loan. Smartline Mortgage Broker’s Ruth Slavin said mortgage insurers would not cover certain postcodes however Commonwealth Bank would lend 95 per cent anywhere. Mortgage insurance is bought by the borrower but it covers the
loan for the lender. Bendigo Bank is the only bank that still has a branch in many smaller towns in central Victoria and holds significant market share in the region. Bank spokesperson Silvana Arena said yesterday Bendigo Bank, like many other financial institutions, partnered with mortgage insurers for loan insurance. “Lending ratios are based on location,” she said. “Selected locations are considered to be higher risk because of the rate of sale of properties in those areas. “In some circumstances, mortgage insurance is unavailable for given areas, and therefore, banks may require larger deposits to mitigate potential risk.”

PICTURE THAT: Lana McLean with Russell Jack and her entry.
Russell in art AS part of the Silver Jubilee Celebrations at the Golden Dragon Museum artist Lana McLean yesterday unveiled her Archibald Prize entry for 2016 – a painting of Golden Dragon museum director and founder Russell Jack AM. Ms McLean first entered the Archibald in 2005 with her portrait of political commentator Malcolm MacKerras which received considerable acclaim. She said she was keen to paint Mr Jack for her 2016 Archibald entry because he is a man of outstanding vision and action. “I’ve always admired him,” she said. “His many awards include a Member of the Order of Australia in the Queens Birthday Honours List for preservation of Bendigo’s Chinese Heritage, an Award
Foo Dongs reunited after auction chase IT was with some excitement that the director of the Golden Dragon Museum Anita Jack found a rare Foo Dong, or lion dog, for sale in the Theodore Bruce auction catalogue last month. “I was reading their ad in The Age and nearly choked on my coffee,” she laughed. “I realised their lion was the mate of the one we had in our museum. “Foo Dongs are always presented in pairs, it is very much a cultural tradition.
“We had the male which was made in the mid 19th century Qing Dynasty and donated to us by the late benefactor John St Albans.” Ms Jack said the female lion protects people inside the building, while the male guards the structure. “On the day of the auction I flew up to Sydney with a limited budget,” she said. “I was incredibly nervous. The catalogue price was $30,000 and it was way above my budget.
“I went there early at 9.30am, even though the auction wasn’t until 11am, so I could get a sense of who was interested in what.” Ms Jack said there were about 300 people at the auction and most of them had their eyes on the Foo Dong. “My Foo Dong,” she said. “Theodore Bruce haven’t handled many Chinese art works and it was pointed out to them by one of the keen bidders the you can’t
break up a pair when you are selling. It is not the correct cultural practice. “I went up to the bidders who were competing against me and told them I had the Foo Dong mate in my museum. So they didn’t bid against me. “I bought the Foo Dong on Valentines Day, so I think it was a great time to have the lion dogs reunited. “I’m so happy for them, that they are together again.” - Dianne Dempsey
for Meritorious Service in the Community in 2008 and a Victorian Award for Excellence in Multicultural Affairs. “Mr Jack’s life long involvement with the Bendigo Chinese Association and his work with the Golden Dragon Museum, all stand testament to his great acumen and achievements.” Mr Jack’s daughter, Golden Dragon Museum general manager Anita Jack said she loved the portrait. “It says so much about my father, I’m so proud and happy,” she said. As for Mr Jack, he said the portrait came as a complete surprise. “Who would want to paint an 81 year old man? She (Lana McLean) clearly has an extreme sense of humour,” he said. “How could I refuse?”

Business park plans stall THE City of Greater Bendigo will be forced to reconsider development of its decade-long plans for the Marong Business Park after an independent state government panel rejected council’s bid to compulsorily acquire properties on the overlay. The decision is being treated as a win by property owners who have fought the council for 13 years over public acquisition plans. But city planning and development director Prue Mansfield said council would reconsider the panel’s recommendations before making a fi-
amendment to allow the park to be developed on 313 hectares of farming land 500 metres north-west of the Marong township. Ms Mansfield said the park had the potential to create up to 4000

Recycling firm recycled SIX Bendigo residents have assured the future of the Eaglehawk Recycling Shop and 14 employees by buying the shop’s assets after the business operator was placed into administration last year. A further 10 employees will receive their full employment and redundancy entitlements. Businessman Leon Scott is the chairman of the new notfor-profit organisation Eaglehawk Recycle Shop Inc, whose directors together stumped up $100,000 in interest-free loans to buy the recycling shop’s vehicles, forklifts and stock. Mr Scott said he had been involved in the recycling shop since its inception in 1994 but only as an adviser in recent years. On December 21 last year, the shop’s owner, Eaglehawk employment and training agency Future Employment Opportunities Inc, was placed into voluntary administration after recording losses for two consecutive financial years. Mr Scott said yesterday he had been distressed to learn about FEO’s financial fall, and had phoned people he thought could save the shop. The directors of Eaglehawk Recycling Shop are Mr Scott, City of Greater Bendigo councillor Peter Cox, former chief executive of Unity Mining Rod Hanson, former Environmental Protection Agency Victoria regional manager Jeff Cum-

After negotiating with FEO’s administrators PKF Melbourne, the newly-formed board was able to buy the shop, which has become a watershed social enterprise model employing long term unemployed people and running the shop by selling second hand goods. “I am delighted to lead a strong board of business and professional people prepared to work in an honorary capacity to support long term unemployed people and to recycle
waste,” Mr Scott said. “I am confident the recycle shop will go forward as a profitable business.” The council has a role in ensuring the shop’s future. Council owns the land and will charge the new owner a peppercorn rent. Council will also take over management as of early April of recycling transfer stations at Strathfieldsaye, Goornong and Heathcote. “Under previous arrangements, the shop provided Bendigo residents with a place to drop off recyclables rather than discarding them at the
Eaglehawk landfill,” acting chief executive Darren Fuzzard said. “Since being established in 1994, it is understood that over 150,000 tonnes of recycled material has been dropped off there. This equates to a $25 million saving for the community.” Cr Cox said saving the shop was a win for council, employees and the community. Given the potential for a conflict of interest given his roles in council and the shop, Cr Cox said he had always left the room when council made decisions about the business.
ASPIRING artist and academic Grace Andrea has won this year’s Eaglehawk Dahlia and Arts Youth Scholarship, accepting the prize at the opening of the annual Eaglehawk festival on Wednesday night. The opening night of the festival also showcased locally-produced short films and the announcement of a literary prize at the Eaglehawk Town Hall. Grace, a year 12 Bendigo Senior Secondary College student, exhibited her work at the event. Her dream is to study a doctorate of fine arts and philosophy but she is enjoying working with mediums including digital media, ceramics, installations, inks, water colour and artistic writing styles. As the festival gets under way today, visitors can visit art exhibitions at the California Gully Mechanics Institute hosted by the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk, and at the Eaglehawk Secondary College where the Bendigo Art Society will exhibit. At the Old Court House, the Eaglehawk Heritage Society have an installation. A folk and decorative art exhibition will be housed at the Eaglehawk Citizens Brass Band Rooms and visitors can see the 12 Shed Art exhibition at 12 Sailors Gully Road. On Saturday, there will be a gala fair, a relay challenge and the traditional dahlia flower show in the town hall. Families can meet at Canterbury Park on Sunday for family day fun and activities. Events end next Thursday with the debutante ball. Festival president David Richards said this year’s event had been planned around the theme of friendship, symbolised by origami cranes which form the centrepiece of decorations. “The theme hopes to instil local knowledge on what the purpose of friendship is all about, and how actions, like working together, helps us to overcome the challenges of living in a modern society,” Mr Richards said.

The land was adjacent to the Calder Highway and within access of the Calder Alternative and Wimmera highways. Ms Mansfield said the location was accessible for B-double trucks, had potential for rail and was unconstrained by sensitive uses or major environmental constraints, making it an ideal location for a business park.

Culture for all THE 2016 Bendigo Festival of Cultures was launched with a great display of colour and excitement on Tuesday at the Bendigo Library lawns. Celebrating a week of cultural diversity week, the launch included cultural dance and musical performances, inspirational words, and a vibrant, interactive fun-time with West African drumming. “Celebrating Who We Are is this year’s festival theme,” festival director Noemi Cummings said. “Our diversity of cultures, faiths, tastebuds, as well as our intellectual, physical and cognitive differences are the reasons why we have so much to celebrate.”
Over the past few weeks, the Bendigo South East College Academy of Creative Arts dancers have worked hard to create a multicultural dance in conjunction with Bendigo’s Festival of Cultures. Within the process of creating the dance, choreographer Brittney Carron has been heavily inspired by Korean buchaechum fan dancing. One of the highlights of the festival will be the concert, a free family event in the Hargreaves Mall and at the town hall from 11am to 11pm on Saturday. The Hargreaves Mall will be the place to be for lunch where there will be Turkish, Spanish, Indian and Thai food
as well as food from other Asian countries. At 11.30am, the acoustic concert will start outside the town hall stage, featuring a spectacular array of talented artistes. The entertainment will continue non-stop until 11pm. Acts appearing include Bob “Bongo” Starkie, Taste featuring Virgil Donati, Sol Nation, Monique Brumby, Ajak Kwai and Broderick Smith. Also performing on Saturday will be e.motion21. A local dance group for people with a disability e.motion21 is dedicated to promoting understanding and changing perceptions of disability.

overall benefit from construction of $39.58m,” Mr McKern said. Mr McKern said the precinct would be a significant boost to the region’s economy but needed the NSRF funding to reach its full potential.
Faith-based tourism is a booming global industry and the Aspire Precinct is the only project of its kind anywhere in Australia. Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe and acting chief executive officer Darren Fuzzard flew to Canberra yesterday to seek funding support for the rejuvenation of the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall in Pall Mall and the redevelopment of the Bendigo Tennis Centre, as part of council’s bid for NSRF support. Previous visits to Canberra have helped yield $4.885m for the Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic Leisure and Wellbeing Centre, and $5m for the Bendigo Airport redevelopment.
“
The Aspire Cultural and Charitable Foundation has submitted its application for $5 million from the National Stronger Regions Fund (NSRF). The funding would be used to secure the Faith on the Goldfields Interpretive Centre and Aspire Precinct adjacent to the Sacred Heart Cathedral. Aspire Foundation chairman Gordon McKern OAM said the application contained recently obtained economic data to strengthen the business case for the new Precinct, which should become a significant national tourist drawcard. “In the past 12 months we’ve

Bendigo asked to Walk for Willo TRACY WILSON and his family are fighting an uphill battle, and they’re not giving up. But they are asking for help. The Walk for Willo kicks off tonight at Rosalind Park to turn a fun time for the family into a fundraiser. Mr Wilson, or “Willo”, has been fighting cancer since December 2014 and now needs financial assistance as his trial treatment is not fully funded. “I have a rare kidney cancer of a particularly rare type,” Willo said. “I am probably the only sufferer in Australia so the treatment is not complete. “To be honest, the options for treatment are narrowing down.” Five community groups have come together to organise tonight’s fundraiser with the Strathfieldsaye Football Netball Club, Marong Football Netball Club, Bendigo Little Athletics and Fit Republic pitching in. Willo’s employer, Bendigo Bank, is a major supporter too, a reflection of Willo’s work in the
Community Bank division. “He’s been part of about 130 Community Bank set-ups,” the bank’s Julie Scullie said. “That’s why we are asking the community to give back.” The Walk for Willo runs from 5pm to 8pm tonight in Rosalind Park and apart from the walk includes warm up sessions for walkers, egg and spoon races, sack races, tug of war, live music and much more. “Bring a picnic basket, family and friends,” Ms Scullie said. Entry is $50 for a family and $20 for an adult which includes all activities and the chance to win entry prizes. It’s a family event, so no alcohol please. “It will be great to catch up with all of my friends from the past 30 years,” Willo said. “I won’t be walking, but I’ll be there.” If you can’t make it, but would like to donate, bank details are: Bendigo Bank.

Golf for a project The Rotary Club of Bendigo’s eighth annual golf event is on tonight, in support of Rotary’s Operation Cleft project. “Operation Cleft does life changing cleft palate operations in developing countries,” Rotary Club of Bendigo’s Glenn Reilly said. “Over the past seven years through the support of Bendigo businesses we have changed the lives of 220 children in developing countries with our golf events. “With the whole course set up as par threes and playing golf at night with glow in the dark golf balls and glow sticks lighting up the fairways it makes for a fun night for a great cause. Glow in the dark golf balls and changing lives is a strange combination.” The cost of one operation is $300 so every team playing will not only have a great night but will change a child’s life forever. President of Bendigo Rotary Larrie Winzar said it is the generosity of the Bendigo people which assists Rotary in making a difference both locally and overseas.

A friendly future
Bendigo children will receive a book a month for their first five years under an initiative by Bendigo Business Council, Bendigo Rotary and Bendigo Health. The plan is just one of more than 100 childfriendly measures proposed as part of a city-wide early years strategy exploring the needs and opportunities for the region’s children over the next four years. Called the City of Greater Bendigo’s Municipal Early Years Plan, it was launched by mayor Rod Fyffe at the Long Gully Recreation Reserve on Tuesday. The plan was coordinated by the council but it brought together 15 local organisations with interests in the welfare of children in Bendigo, who will lead 57 of the initiatives. The city will coordinate another 68, including promoting community safety, developing infrastructure such as kindergartens, maternal health hubs and walking and cycling networks, and coordinating education and care. Council’s community partnerships manager Steven Abbott said consultation for the report engaged more than 600 people, including children who were asked to contribute to a best-community-for-kids wish list. “If children get off to a good start, they are well placed to become excep-

Initiatives are grouped under six objectives including safety, environment and

Under the same objective, council and Bendigo Health plan to employ a literacy worker to work with vulnerable families and local businesses and organisations will be encouraged to create children’s book areas in their reception areas.

Challenge in the right hands A GROUP of 10 Bendigo residents has embarked upon a corporate challenge aimed at improving their general health and wellbeing. The group includes local real estate agents, publicans, marketing managers, public relations professionals, and company directors, as well as the Weekly’s Peter Kennedy. The group is half way through a month-long challenge being conducted under the experienced eyes of TKO Fitness trainers and owners Ryan and Jo Jeffrey, at their brand new cutting edge premises in Weeroona Avenue, Bendigo. Challenge participants have already experienced this technology, and have been using TKO Fitness’s state of the art strength equipment as they battle one another in their bid to gain maximum results. Tweed Sutherland First National director and challenge participant Matt Leonard said he was enjoying the friendly rivalry and the support he
had received from the group, and from the trainers, in his quest to be fitter and healthier. “Sessions are tough, but the results are there to be had if we all work hard, and everyone is committed to doing their best, and to helping one another achieve their goals,” he said. Mr Jeffrey said TKO Fitness did not want to be viewed as a gym, but rather as a results based private training facility. “We are a private training facility available by appointment only,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the fitness industry and we’re very happy to bring that experience and expertise to Bendigo.” TKO Fitness offers a highly personalised service that starts from an initial assessment including full body composition analysis, setting realistic goals and regularly tracking progress. Mr Jeffrey and his wife have more than 25 years’ experience in the fitness

ONE of the many great projects associated with the Bendigo Festival of Cultures has been a spectacular collage made by people of all ages and walks of life. The artwork has been created by more than 35 people in partnership with Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services and the Bendigo library. The work began with a walk of the city, to get to know it better and to gather inspiration for drawings to add to the paper collage. Lead artist Julie Andrews said the technique of making a collage is ideal for collaboration as it brings people together to appreciate their different styles and talents. “The work can be read as a metaphor for how contemporary cities can support individuals and ideas of belonging in the broader community,” she said. Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services officer Noemi Cummings said art is a beautiful form to express feelings, emotions and ideas. “This project facilitates an easy

A prize school SPRING Gully Primary School has won a major prize aimed at supporting and promoting health in local schools as part of this year’s Bendigo Weekly/ Prime 7 Sports Star of the Year Awards. The Bendigo Health-sponsored Healthy Schools awards are also a great way to showcase the steps being taken by school communities to promote health messages and to provide a solid background for students aspiring to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Spring Gully’s entry into the Best Innovation category highlighted the measures taken to address childhood obesity and traffic congestion, via the school’s active travel program, which was instigated by a parent from the school community.
The program began with a monthly active travel day where students were encouraged to choose an alternative mode of transport to being driven to school, and to either walk, scoot or bike to school instead. To encourage participation and friendly rivalry, an active travel trophy was awarded each month to the grade with the highest proportion of active travellers. The school community responded enthusiastically to active travel days, where, typically, up to three quarters of students walked and wheeled to school. In the final term of 2015, regular active travel was encouraged through a “frequent active travel pass” scheme: children had their 10-trip pass
clipped for each active trip and each completed pass went in the draw for a prize at the end of term. Students embraced the scheme and parents commented on the increase in regular active travel during the term. A regular “active traveller of the week” column in the school newsletter was a fun and informal way to maintain awareness of and enthusiasm for active travel. The school is planning even more health initiatives for 2016.

Booster for nurses nursing scholarships at Bendigo Health. Ms Tomlinson said the auxiliary provides wonderful support to the unit. “We are always very grateful to the auxiliary who have purchased vital medical equipment and assisted our nurses to obtain qualifications in critical care nursing through scholarships,” she said. “The scholarship program provides Bendigo Health nurses with a head start to pursue a career in critical care nursing.” The auxiliary raises its
fund in a variety of ways and social events throughout the year. These include morning coffees, fashion parades, raffles and trading tables. Each year the auxiliary hosts an exhibition of cross stitch, embroidery, patchwork and crochet. This year’s exhibition will be held on Good Friday and Easter Saturday at the North Bendigo Bowls Club. They are looking for new members and can be contacted by calling the auxiliary secretary on 5446 9691.

With this extra energy, the electrons jump out of their atom and move along the material. When they find an empty spot another electron has left open, they fall into it. This happens over and over, but always heading in the one direction – creating a current. Called the photoelectric effect, it was first discovered in 1839 by a 19-year-old Edmond Becquerel. Albert Einstein was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for finally explaining what was going on in his 1905 paper on the subject. - Rachel Rayner, Discovery Science and Technology Centre

Let’s first step backwards to peek into the quantum world of matter and light. Light is made up of tiny packets of energy called photons, while everything else around us is made of atoms. These are comprised of protons, that have a positive charge; electrons, with a negative charge; and neutrons with no charge. So, on to the solar panels. Solar panels are made up of silicon cells that are designed to absorb as much light (photons) as possible. The silicon is “doped” with other elements to make it more positively or negatively charged. As photons from the sun hit the panels, they give their energy to electrons in the doped silicon.

Sunny side up for solar Solar panels are a unique way to generate electricity which, unusually, does not involve a spinning turbine. Coal, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, solar thermal (and probably more) are all heat sources that create steam to turn a turbine. Then there are winds, tides, and rushing waters to spin turbines directly. The spinning turbine generates an electric field which produces an electric current. Bendigo Sustainability Group (BSG) is currently raising money to put solar panels on Discovery’s roof to make us more sustainable. If you would like to get involved, contact Discovery or BSG. But how do solar panels work?

Think ahead for your children
By EDWARD BARKLA
bendigo
SOME of us are old enough to remember when it was nothing for a family of six or more to be crammed into the family car with no seat belts. Then came lap belts, sash and lap belts, retracting seat belts and airbags. As car safety technology evolved so did social attitudes to safety. Now our children are likely to remind us if we forgot to wear our seat belt. In their era, they simply expect to be restrained in a car with a seat belt. Cycling helmets have likewise
undergone significant technological developments. And there’s certainly enough evidence to suggest that helmets do protect against head injuries. How much you value your children’s wellbeing should be the value you place on a helmet. But helmets are only of value when properly fitted and maintained. Your first step in choosing a helmet for you or your children is to make sure it complies with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2063. You’ll see a shiny silver and red sticker on the inside bearing those numbers. If there’s no Australian Standard sticker, or the online store doesn’t state that it meets the standard, don’t buy the helmet.
POOR FIT: Badly fitted helmets offer no protection. Next, it’s critical for the safety of your children that their helmets are
adjusted properly. The helmets should be secure on their heads so that there is minimal movement front to back and side to side. Front to back movement is minimised by adjusting the tensioning device at the back of the helmet that tightens and loosens the straps inside the helmet. Generally, this is a ratchet adjusted by a sliding or rotating mechanism. Side to side movement is minimised by moving the buckles on the chin strap so they sit just under the earlobes. The chin strap should sit snugly, but not tightly, under the chin. Don’t cut any excess – fold it up neatly and secure it with a tie or band.
To give best protection to a child’s forehead, the space above the eyebrows should be no more than two fingers width. Don’t assume that once it’s all adjusted it will stay that way. Kids might not treat their helmets sensitively, so it’s wise to check the adjustment regularly. That way you’ll also know when it’s time to replace them with new helmets if they’re damaged or when they grow out of them. The value you place on your children’s wellbeing should be reflected in the care you take choosing and fitting a helmet for them. A good helmet, well fitted and maintained will serve them well and keep them safe. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Jud goes it alone THE Bendigo Art Gallery has been confirmed Jud Wimhurst as the Going Solo artist for 2016. Launched in 2014, Going Solo is a gallery initiative providing local contemporary artists living in central Victoria, the unique opportunity to produce a new body of work to be presented in a solo exhibition at the gallery. “I’m very excited to be selected for this year’s Going Solo,” Jud said. “The interview process was a bit like going for a job. I had put in a proposal and then I was short listed. “I had a meeting with all of the curatorial staff at the gallery where I pitched my proposal. It was fairly nerve wracking. ”I was looking for a vehi-
cle for my next body of work so this has worked perfectly. “The exhibition should be ready by November and the curators will help install my best work in the way that is going to do it the most justice. “They will also promote the work.” In his predominantly three-dimensional work, Jud references pop and street culture as a way of commenting on choice and mortality. Jud lives and works in Kyneton and has a Bachelor of Fine Art from RMIT University. Recent solo exhibitions include Protection at the La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre, Bendigo, Safe/Secure at [MARS] Gallery, Melbourne and Future Primitive at the 2012 Melbourne Art Fair.

Radius backs the champions THE Radius Champions Club was launched at the Champions Club Breakfast recently at the All Seasons. The club gives employers exclusive access to inclusive work places. “We have experienced incredible success employing people with a disability,” Radius chief executive Cath McDonald said. “Our newest and boldest social enterprise, Morley’s Emporium, in the
heart of Bendigo employs and trains people with a disability in retail, design and hospitality. “The Champions Club is a way we can share and assist other businesses in Bendigo to employ people with a disability.” Guests at the breakfast learnt about the benefits of employing people with a disability. Speakers included Australian Turntable Company chairman Paul Chapman,
who is also chair of the Bendigo Inventor Awards. Mr Chapman has strategically grown his business through promoting inclusion in his work place and will be talking about Australian Turntable’s journey towards employing people with a disability. “Inclusion is a part of our values,” Mr Chapman said. “Our international experience has been the
catalyst to think more broadly. “Inclusion is core to our growth plan. We want to find ways to work together and understand each other. It makes our workplace more understanding and innovative.” Business owners who are interested in employing people with a disability can contact Simone Baker at Radius on 0438 068 851 or shaker@rds.org.au or visit rds.org.au

Who do you really stand for? I would like to respond to a letter Bendigo Weekly, March 18, “Stand up or shut up” by Anthony Radford. It is a shame that a person I thought would have stood up for free speech and a diverse range of views would have been so cynical. Most of the views expressed, in particularly about council and its officers, serve to point out clear differences and in most part are backed up with facts for all to see. The council’s own satisfaction levels only continue to fall and that should tell Mr Radford something. People do not complain when things are going well and they believe they are getting a fair deal and that is simply not happening. My question to Mr Radford is where does he really stand and what and who is he supporting? Or will he simply try and wriggle out of giving an answer by questioning the motives of others? Stuart Symes, Epsom
No overall planning
ASLCMS45172-1316
Greater Bendigo needs an overall roads and infrastructure plan for the linking of its growth areas. I have watched over the past 20 years as many councillors and council officers have come and gone, but have yet to see any overall plan for the development of roads and infrastructure for the Greater Bendigo area. Rather, I have watched, amazed, as yet another subdivision is allowed, with buildings right up to the existing two lane main connecting roads and/or across areas that should have been reserved years ago for future road/transport corridors. Councillors’ and council officers’ thinking seems to be still stuck back in the days of the old central city of Bendigo, perhaps unduly influenced by central traders and business organisations. There seems little concept of having any real vision for the needs and structures for a population of 150,000 or 200,000 in the foreseeable future. (Bendigo was about 65,000 when I lived here in the mid 1980s) In part of a letter I wrote to the administration and councillors in mid-2014, I said – “As the old town of Bendigo truly becomes Greater Bendigo, it is time to look at city circle transport routes, connecting the satellite suburbs directly (and adequately) to one another without the need to pass the fountain on the way.” In that letter I made several suggestions as to how such routes could
be achieved. I received no response, apart from a polite letter from a planning officer. There is still no indication of any overall vision and no planning processes to allow for such circle routes and overall infrastructure, yet more subdivisions are approved for developers. Bendigo likes to favourably compare itself to other regional cities. Perhaps it is time to look at what has been done in Ballarat, Geelong, Bathurst (NSW) and even Shepparton. We are way behind. Too much fountain focus? I realise that cooperation of various government departments and commitment of funds from local government, state government and in some cases federal government will be needed, but the City of Greater Bendigo must be the starting point in all of this. And the time to start is now. Bendigo is a beautiful city, with many wonderful features. It needs careful, yet visionary and wide ranging planning to keep it so and to develop it into the future. Tony McDowell, Eaglehawk
Enough backroom deals In response to Senator Bob Day and Senator David Leyonhjelm’s letter “All fired up”, Bendigo Weekly, March 4, I would like to propose a calm examination of the facts. The Greens have been campaigning to end backroom preference deals for over 10 years because we believe that senators should be selected by voters, not by backroom preference dealers. The proposed reform was recently recommended by the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters. Senators Day and Leyonhjelm refer to fellow senators (Greens and others) who were elected on preferences and suggest that with the proposed reform this could no longer happen. This demonstrates a misunderstanding of the proposal. There is no plan to introduce a “first past the post” system or to get rid of preferences, merely to abolish the secrecy inherent in the current Group Voting Ticket system. In other words a candidate will only get in on preferences if that is genuinely what the voters want. The current senate voting system needs reform because: 1. It is undemocratic. If you vote “above the line” you can vote for one candidate and have your vote end up with someone else. Some micro-parties are created for the express purpose of funnelling

votes elsewhere. 2. It is secretive. You may never realise that your vote has ended up with a candidate you don’t like or have never heard of. 3. There can be perverse outcomes. With effective “preference whispering” candidates can be elected with a tiny fraction of the vote, beating candidates who got far more primary votes. 4. It is too complicated. Your only option if you want control of where your preferences end up is to “vote below the line” and number perhaps more than 100 boxes. 5. This undermines the integrity of the Senate as a house of review and its role as a check and balance on the government of the day. The solution? If Group Voting Tickets are abolished secretive preference deals will no longer be possible. Power over preferences will be taken away from political parties and returned to the voter who will vote for numbers one to six above the line on the ballot paper so they can show support for a diversity of voices in the Senate. If they want to, they will still be able to vote below the line. Small parties and independents will still be able to run and get elected if they have genuine voter support, but there will no longer be any incentive to create “front parties” to funnel preferences through secretive and convoluted backroom deals. The voter will be the only person
deciding where their vote ends up. Rosemary Glaisher, Greens candidate for Bendigo
Believing the spin I am absolutely gobsmacked by Anthony Radford’s letter (Bendigo Weekly, March 11). Now who are the real purveyors of hatred? In one of his last acts as editor of the Bendigo Weekly on November 7, 2014 he advocated for council to be run by council officers, not councillors. The following is an extract of some of his comments: “Almost every councillor who has represented Greater Bendigo since amalgamation tells the same story. They complain about having any little real influence on the finances of the organisation. “….. they struggle with not having any input into the operational budget or staff numbers of the council. “The current campaign to keep rates rises low has again shone the light on the very little councillors can do to do just that. They feel they have a right, on behalf of ratepayers to have more of a say, and they could be right.” “On the other hand, do we want a group of people who could have very little business or finance experience having a greater influence over a $170 million budget?” “Given the controversies that surround some council, and councillors, there could be an argument for wanting to keep the keys to the safe away from them.”

My how things have changed. Now, if you make comments about escalating council rates, the demolition of the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre or statements that call prospective council candidates to account it is classified as “hateful” and vitriolic. If you are worried about our country’s security, the cultural wellbeing of our city, the gradual attacks on Australian customs and values or you have a different opinion to Mr Radford or the Believe in Bendigo clowns, you are classified as a racist or bigot. Mr Radford’s views expressed in his letter appear to be part of a dangerous strategy that aims to shut down freedom of speech and prevent any genuine community comment that presents a countervailing view to those expressed by him and his cronies. His diatribe does nothing to advance or unite the community. It simply aims to denigrate. Unfortunately Anthony believes the council officer “spin”. Until Anthony can “put up” some evidence to refute the litany of factual evidence provided by many contributors, perhaps he should “shut up”. Oh, and by the way, is Anthony the undeclared media and communications coordinator for any Believe in Bendigo members who will be candidates in the forthcoming council elections?

editorial
Speak up – please One of the great challenges we have as a society is that human beings by nature are more likely to speak out about something they do not agree with, or something they do not like. There are occasions where the only letters this paper receives are those from writers who are critical of an aspect of something about Bendigo, so perhaps this week’s letters page is a watershed moment. We certainly welcome the strong response from a broad crosssection of the community, and recognise it as a sign of a healthy democracy which we only will continue to prosper. I’ve been to many events where someone has afterwards commented on how good it was, or how much they enjoyed a show/event/ launch etc. I’ve often invited these people to write a letter to the editor to share their response, to say thanks,
BendigoWeekly
Editorial Comment or to make a positive observation. They seldom do. The opinion pages of any good newspaper need to represent a variety of views, but not necessarily a broad range of subjects. The community needs to know that these pages are their opportunity to comment – good or bad, about something they have an opinion on. The debate, our community and our democracy are all stronger for there being diversity, but this needs to be driven by the community. All potential letter writers
should also feel entitled to put forward their views for consideration, whatever they may be, and we would welcome an increase in the number of writers we publish. We cannot simply reject a letter because others deem it too negative. Again, the best way to achieve balance is for more community members to put forward a more broad range of views. There are many instances where this paper has published letters that we may not agree with, but it’s not the paper’s job to censor these writers or to exclude them. It is our job to promote a diversity of views, and to encourage debate in the community. Sometimes, it takes a negative story or letter to create a positive outcome, and that’s an important observation about journalism particularly relevant to this newspaper’s proud history.

letters Sick of the nay-sayers
Facts not fantasy
Bravo to Anthony Radford for highlighting that so many Bendigonians are sick of the nay-sayers. This city has so much to be proud of and so much to celebrate. It’s important our council, politicians and institutions are held to account. In fact, it’s imperative. However, with some letter writers there is a clear pattern of negativity against the same people just for the sake of it. That doesn’t benefit anyone and it certainly doesn’t benefit Bendigo. Believe in Bendigo has shown what can be built, what can be achieved by people coming together to celebrate what is good about our community. A big part of the success of the Believe in Bendigo campaign is that it is able to provide a safe space for people to say what is good about Bendigo without the fear of being shouted down by people who seem to do nothing else. We ask all media outlets to put some balance back in the letters section and don’t simply print negative voices. There are plenty of good stories out there of people willing to be constructive rather than destructive. Margot Spalding, Bendigo Editors note: Please see editorial above for our response to all letters regarding balance and ‘negative’ letters to the editor.
Michael Wyrsch, chief investment officer of Vision Super, in his letter in the Bendigo Weekly, February 26 “Funding Error” cannot refute the comment I made in the February 19 edition “Flack back for council bid” in which I said – and I quote: “Mr Flack expects with the current market downturn in areas of equities and financial markets that Vision Super may make a call on local government councils around July/August 2017.” Note I said “may”. Let me remind ratepayers and other readers, perhaps even current City of Greater Bendigo councillors of the history of these “calls” on ratepayers by Vision Super over the past 21 years. Council employees during the period of 1982 to 1993 contributed to the Local Authorities Superannuation Board (LASB) fund. When Jeff Kennett came to power in October 1992 he set about changing the LASB Fund by introducing Vision Superannuation for those current and past council employees of which the council has about 100 members from current or past employment. There was a catch though. By 1994 Bendigo councillors voted in favour of accepting the Vision Super “concept” put forward by the Kennett government to all councils in Victoria whereby three yearly “reviews” of the investment performance of the fund would be undertaken.
Here’s the catch – any shortfalls due to underperformance of the defined benefits super fund would require councils to pick up the shortfall by way of a “call” being made on each council respectively across all local government councils within Victoria. This has seen ratepayers suffer “calls” on budgets paying out $6.87 million in 1998, $2.9m in 2003, $1.92m in 2010 and $10.4m in September 2012. The latter being a “deferred call” as a result of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. So far ratepayers have suffered “calls” in excess of $22m. “Calls” will continue to be made by Vision Super in adverse times for under performances when these three year reviews are conducted. As I mentioned in my candidature article of February 19 in the Bendigo Weekly this practice has to stop and requires cooperation between local governments, the MAV, the Andrews state government and also the Turnbull federal government in order to fix this anomaly created in 1994. Mr Wyrsch, as chief investment officer, cannot confidently predict into the future of Vision Super’s performances – with four months of the current financial year to run – it would appear rather reckless of him to do so.

Bendigo Hospital Project BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT Special lift-out, Autumn 2016
Preserving our past
Building our future When the Bendigo Hospital Project opens its new world-class healthcare facility in 2017, a reminder of Bendigo Health’s history will be part of the celebrations. SHARING the construction action at this $630 million project site, are aging hospital buildings … and some date back to Victorian times. Those that are noteworthy are earmarked for preservation – and right now they are being handled with kid gloves, as the project team prepares them for a bright future. According to Exemplar Health chief executive, Michele Morrison, the Bendigo Hospital Project has not only presented Bendigo Health with an opportunity to take the region’s healthcare services to a new level, it has also offered a chance to genuinely honour the historic character of its original buildings.
In its life it’s been used for a health laboratory, a nurses’ home, a nursing aide training school and serviced a division of general practitioners. During the past year Bendigo Health’s building and infrastructure team has been instrumental in injecting life back into the grand structure. According to Bendigo Health’s building and infrastructure director, Brendan Chalmers, the old lying-in hospital’s future will complement the expanded services throughout the new complex. “Caring for Bendigo’s community began more than 150 years ago on this site, and now as this new development progresses,
...this whole project is designed, not just about the new, but about remembering history... “This is a second chance at life for some of the hospital’s architecture, and this whole project is designed, not just about the new, but about remembering history and preserving examples of the past,” she said. “We have heritage-listed buildings on site and Bendigo Health has implemented a ‘conservation management plan’ which has been incorporated into the whole Bendigo Hospital Project,” Ms Morrison added. “It’s a terrific example of how these buildings can be cherished and updated, as the hospital integrates old and new buildings to allow for the contemporary functionality of the whole campus.”
Lying-in hospital One building having a makeover recently is the old ‘lying-in hospital’, nestled beside the Anne Caudle building. This two-storey red-brick gem was designed by prominent Bendigo architectural duo, Vahland and Getzschmann, and records state it was built around 1863. Early in its life, it was used for a maternity service, and such was the pillar of maternity care during the 1800s that lying-in hospitals provided women with an alternative to delivering at home. Times changed, as did healthcare services, and in 1920 the building took on other uses.
it has provided us with the momentum needed to fully embrace Bendigo Health’s past.” Mr Chalmers said that replacing the roof, restoring the stone-work and decorative features and reinstating the verandah, have all been very satisfying parts of the renovation work conducted by Bendigo Health. “There was so much intricate work involved with the restoration of this building, in particular the work on the double-storey verandah and ornate motifs, which are outstanding features of this building. “And I’m personally looking forward to seeing glimpses of our heritage buildings being reflected in the many striking panels of the new design,” he added. The building is now being handed over to project consortium, Exemplar Health for a full internal fit-out, before being integrated into the project’s plans. Other heritage buildings on the project’s preservation list include the Hope Street wall (circa 1883), the ‘superintendent’s residence’ (circa 1880), the ‘west wing’ (exclusively used as a female ward, circa 1890), the Anne Caudle centre previously known as the Benevolent Asylum (circa 1875) and the ‘gatehouse’ (circa 1860).
ABOVE AND BEYOND: Viewing the site from the ‘lying-in hospital’ balcony is (L to R) Cliff Bell, Terry Wynne, Adam Bell from Bendigo Health’s construction team, Exemplar Health chief executive Michele Morrison, Bendigo Health building and infrastructure director Brendan Chalmers, Lendlease project engineer Nick Clarke and Bendigo Health project foreman Paul Pipkorn.
TIMEWORN: The old building serviced Bendigo Health in many ways, and during its life the verandah had been closed-in to create more rooms.
BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT
Countdown begins In less than 12 months Bendigo Health will have a new home. With the new Bendigo Hospital Project construction site standing tall in the background, media gathered recently to hear Bendigo East MP Jacinta Allan deliver an important message. Accompanied by Bendigo Health chief executive, John Mulder and Bendigo Health board chairman, Bob Cameron, Ms Allan announced that by early next year, the new hospital would be operational. According to Ms Allan, planning is underway to support the start of services on the new site. “It is envisaged the move will take two days, and this has been scheduled
for the last week in January 2017,” she explained. “The outside of the building is now sealed up as work continues inside with the fit-out,” Ms Allan said. “But come next year, across two days in January, services in the old hospital will move into the new facility, and Bendigo Health has already started preparing for this massive undertaking.” Ms Allan explained that representatives from Bendigo Health, Exemplar Health and the Department of Health and Human Services, are working together to ensure a smooth and effective transition.
OPEN DOORS: Bendigo Health board chairman Bob Cameron joins Jacinta Allan MP and Bendigo Health chief executive John Mulder, in heralding the start date for a new era in regional healthcare.
Emergency emerges On the Bendigo Hospital Project site, many parts of the hospital are starting to take shape. The new emergency department is one area that’s well advanced. The emergency department is one of the most frequented entry points for any hospital. Within Bendigo’s new facilities, a team of doctors, nurses and support staff will be working around-the-clock to offer critical care of the highest standard. And while they deliver healthcare to our community for acute illness and injury, the staff will be working alongside the latest medical technology and design, allowing the professionals at Bendigo Health to optimise all levels of care. The Bendigo Hospital Project’s emergency department will be located in Drought Street when the facility opens in late January next year. Touring the site this month, Bendigo West MP, Maree Edwards saw just how well this highly important area of the hospital is progressing. “This is one of the busiest areas of any hospital and demand on Bendigo Health’s emergency department continues to grow every year,” Ms Edwards said. “In 2006, the department saw 35,000 patients and just a decade on, that figure will be around 48,000 for 2016.” Accompanying Ms Edwards on the site tour was Bendigo Health board chairman, Bob Cameron, Bendigo Health chief executive John Mulder and Bendigo Health emergency department director Dr Diana Badcock. Mr Cameron said new features would make the new emergency department a
more comfortable environment. “These include, a discreet entry for behaviourally disturbed patients, combined with dedicated mental health treatment areas,” he said. “There are also several family rooms that offer a private and quiet space for families to gather and talk to health professionals. When a loved one is in hospital it is generally an emotional and stressful time and quiet spaces like these are essential,” Mr Cameron added. The emergency department is designed with expanded areas to treat patients. The current hospital has 29 cubicles whereas the new facility will have 46. Inside the department, there are also four resuscitation bays to treat the severely ill patients; one of those bays is specifically equipped for paediatric patients. There will also be a waiting space and treatment cubicles purposely customised for children. The department is located alongside the medical imaging department and patientonly elevators effectively connect it with operating theatres, the intensive care area and the soon-to-be-built helipad. According to Dr Diana Badcock, staff members are excited about the future move, as they believe it will enable a more patientfocused model of care. “The additional space in the new building will allow our team to work in a more collaborative and multi-disciplinary way and provide increased care that is

centred around the patient,” she said. She explained that while the new hospital was a major coup for the Loddon Mallee region, people must continue to take responsibility for their own health and appreciate that the emergency department is
for the acutely unwell and unstable patients. “We encourage people to utilise their primary healthcare provider, in other words their general practitioner, for minor, routine and long-standing healthcare issues,” she said.
BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT
Quality outcome Childcare nearby is doing ‘exceedingly’ well according to a recent report. EARLY in its second year of operation, Jenny’s Early Learning Centre (JELC) as part of the Bendigo Hospital Project has been awarded an overall rating of ‘Exceeding National Quality Standard’ by the Department of Education and Training. The centre is Exemplar Health’s second facility to open, as part of the Bendigo Hospital Project, providing a modern educational facility within the hospital grounds. According to JELC managing director, Darren Reid, the childcare centre, which has recorded exceptional levels of family enrolment since opening with Exemplar Health in late 2014, addressed seven key areas in this recent quality evaluation. “We’re very proud to have received such a high level of assessment, especially in the areas of ‘Children’s health and safety’, ‘Collaborative partnerships with families and communities’ and ‘Leadership and service management’.” Mr Reid said that the childcare centre also scored an ‘Exceeding’ rating for the centre’s ‘Physical environment’, an assessment which is benchmarked against early childhood learning facilities across Australia. “Being part of the new Bendigo Hospital precinct is very exciting, and we are blessed to have an excellent location for our childcare centre, with a purpose-designed building and landscaped grounds. “Our location is close to Bendigo’s CBD, which has also presented us with a wonderful opportunity to engage with families and parents that work close to the heart of the city, such as Bendigo Health and Bendigo Bank. “Of course, families from all parts of central Victoria are part of our JELC family too,” he said. According to Exemplar Health chief executive, Michele Morrison, successful,
QUALITY CENTRE: Staff members, Tesarny Jeanes, Paul Avery, Jaylea Stone and Jeanette Greer proudly join managing director, Darren Reid at JELC.
well-planned outcomes are the focus of the Bendigo Hospital Project. “We are very pleased that both of our commercial tenants, Jenny’s Early Learning Centre and The Schaller Studio are thriving businesses with strong links to community,” she said.
Retail abounds Retail opportunities at the Bendigo Hospital Project are making headlines. THAT’S because Bendigo Hospital Project consortium, Exemplar Health, has appointed Colliers International to coordinate the new hospital’s retail outlet and conference centre leasing. According to Colliers International senior executive, Travis Hurst, there are exciting times ahead for local business operators seeking new outlets with a highly captive market. “This is an outstanding opportunity for experienced vendors with the capacity and vision to operate within a thriving hospital precinct,” Mr Hurst said. He explained that the quality tenants selected would bring added community benefits to the Victorian Government’s extensive Bendigo Hospital Project. “We are seeking interest from a range
of tenants, with eight separate retail outlets on offer,” he said. “These include gift shop, newsagent and convenience store operators as well as eatery vendor and café businesses with a focus on wholesome foods. “Colliers International is also seeking professional operators for the hospital’s conference facility, another outstanding tenancy opportunity at this regional site,” he added. Exemplar Health is utilising the services of ICN Victoria to take initial ‘expressions of interest’. If you’re interested, register through the ICN Gateway at www. bendigohospitalprojectretail.icn.org.au For all leasing enquiries contact Travis Hurst on 0423 388 932, applications close April 19.
Mr Reid explained that staff and management are committed to continually improving the service to enrolled children, parents and families. The centre encourages children to grow food and to make use of fresh garden ingredients to cook meals.
“We are humbled at the support we’ve received from the community and wholeheartedly thank our staff for their hard work in guaranteeing our high quality of care continues, and these recognitions are a way of sharing the centre’s excellence with our whole region,” Mr Reid added.
Rooms for all reasons The art of hospitality is alive and well at the Bendigo Hospital Lucan Street site. The Schaller Studio, located on the Lucan Street Bendigo Hospital grounds, part of the Arts Series Hotel group, is very much settled in, more than 12 months after being built and opened by Exemplar Health as part of the Bendigo Hospital Project. The hotel offers 128bed accommodation and facilities such as its newly launched ‘The Workshop’. This is a space that can be booked by the community for small business gatherings, for around 30 guests. According to The Schaller Studio business manager, Juan Corradi, it’s
just another terrific feature of what the Bendigo Hospital Project is bringing to Bendigo. “This is a newly designed space, with natural lighting and catering available - for a cocktail event or a boardroom meeting,” he said. Both The Schaller Studio and Jenny’s Early Learning Centre have been nominated for the Bendigo Business Excellence People’s Choice Award this month, a fabulous outcome for both of these thriving businesses at the Bendigo Hospital Project.

Construction update March 2016 THE Bendigo Hospital Project will provide residents with a world-class hospital from the ground up. Right now, in early 2016, it’s the largest regional hospital development in Victoria. Currently the project has 650 workers on-site, including engineers and specialised consultants. Internally, marked changes to the building are emerging, with the fi xtures and fittings phase well underway. Vinyl
commissioning the four diesel standby power generators, and with chilled water now being produced by the new chillers in the hospital’s basement, the airconditioning systems are also in a test and commissioning phase. Internal areas are being ‘energised’, so as electrical power becomes functional; the lights can be turned on, as the builders start stringent checks on the ‘finishing’ aspects of the construction.
...the architectural design has been mindful of the therapeutic benefits of nature and natural light. floor coverings, joinery, partitions and ceilings are in various stages of completion as the project enters the last year of its ‘stage one’ building phase. A focus for the project has been the application of durable finishes, which have been carefully chosen to ensure the interior environment is of a high quality. Nearing the fit-out completion stage are areas such as the accident and emergency bays, the oncology area, recovery bays and intensive care rooms. Workers have been testing and
Incorporated into the design, is what the project terms as the ‘street’, an impressive entrance designed as an internal atrium. Right now, there is scaffolding masking this area, as work is conducted on the feature ceiling and walls. Landscapers are also working on the 44 courtyards and balconies throughout the new hospital, a solid example of how the architectural design has been mindful of the therapeutic benefits of nature and natural light.
Street closure
DUE to road resurfacing and landscaping works, Mercy Street has been temporarily closed to through traffic, until mid-April, although the timing of this work is subject to weather and construction conditions. An alternative access route is available via Arnold Street, for both pedestrians and traffic, and safety barriers, fencing and banner mesh have been installed to
contain the construction area. The road detour provided, with a speed limit of 5kph, specifically relates to access for the Monash School of Rural Health, La Trobe Rural Health School, The Good Loaf café plus Bendigo Health’s current kitchen, John Lindell Rehabilitation, Marjorie Phillips and hospice units. We thank you for your patience during this time.

Barber and Bell together at the Vine T
WO of Bendigo’s finest young talents will be belting out their bluesiest, rockingest best tomorrow night, Saturday, March 19, at the Golden Vine. Young guns Bill Barber and Frank Bell will set-up camp on a very special night for Barber when he launches his debut album, Consideration Thanks For Your Consideration. Barely into the legal beerdrinking stage of their lives, Bill Barber and Frank Bell have been turning heads, making ears prick up and winning fans around Bendigo for a while now. Barber is a talent that no less than Lloyd Spiegel considers “next in line to become one of Australia’s blues greats.” Thanks For Your Consideration has been some months in the making. Recorded locally at Carisbrook’s Bald Hill Studio, it was produced by the ubiquitous Pete

Gavin. It’s a mix of classic blues covers like Crossroads and Barber originals, including Death of Me, Push of My Luck, Don’t Give Up and Say What You Wanna Say. Barber’s journey is one I’ve watched closely over a dozen or so gigs since first seeing him on stage at Big Hill two years ago. He has grown from boywith-talent to accomplished performer in those two years – playing a mix of literally hundreds of solo, duo and band performances. Supporting Barber at the Golden Vine is his friend Frank Bell, the young man who sports Bendigo’s most identifiable quiff. Bell, a sometime member of Bill Barber and the Blackwood Shakedown, is a Bendigo local who has also put in the hard yards to get a following in recent years. He’s played gig after gig after gig either on his own or under his Frankie and the Flying Fishfingers moniker. Family influences had Bell listening to a somewhat predictable diet of
Johnny Cash, The Eagles and Slim Dusty growing up. But his tell-tale quiff suggests rawer rock ‘n’ roll and rockabilly influences like Carl Perkins – something that comes through very much in his live shows. Bell’s career to date mirrors Barber’s to a degree with their live sets a mix of both recognisable and interestingly interpreted covers and original songs like 3AM and A Riverside Lullaby. He’s also played his fair share of unusual gigs, including one at the Centre State Rodders’ Club with Union Street Blues: “We had about eight or nine guitarists, a bass player, a drummer and two harmonica players on the stage – needless to say it was very crowded,” he said. Saturday night at the Golden Vine is a great opportunity to get an early career glimpse of two future Bendigo music stars. Frank Bell’s first CD release, a single entitled White Horse will be launched on May 7. - Simon Wooldridge
Feline hard done by Steve lays down the paw to Tommy
T
OMMY was eating Nina’s food, and it had to stop. Nina is our slinky black cat, and Tommy is the neighbourhood wanderer. He’s not a feral so I imagine he just runs around from house to house eating where he can. It seems like a cat thing to do. Anyway, I caught him tucking in one evening and decided enough was enough so I shooed him away. He was caught with such a start he ran into the house. This is not good, as even Nina does not live in the house so Tommy was off shedding fur on our carpets. When I finally found him he was scratching his claws on the armchair, but he stopped when he saw me and ran under the bed. My cat-free-zone house was being invaded, and the cat seemed to have the upper. Now I don’t mind cats, and think people who don’t like them have a screw loose, but after a few minutes of cat chasing I was starting to see the haters’ point. Thing is, cats are cleverer than us so that’s why people dislike them. It’s not about destruction of native animals, it’s about being outwitted. If we really wanted to stop the destruction of native animals we would eradicate humans. Anyway, Tommy seemed to have the upper hand at this point
and nestled in under the bed in the middle of the long-suffering Mrs Kendall boxes of CDs. I thought I would be smart and coax him out gently. Tommy just glared, quite liking the look of the a new home under the bed. He was set for the evening, or night, or week. I opened the door to the verandah, hoping he would take the hint. No luck. I then closed the door to the hall, left the verandah open and started up the noises again. Mrs K had left a riding crop on the verandah from her training session with the horse – that’s my story and I am sticking to it – and I thought Tommy might need some gentle persuasion from the crop. He was now hiding on the CD box between it and the bed, so it was not easy to try to encourage him out. Prod, prod with the crop only made him growl at me. I told him off and prodded him some more, but he would not take the hint. Then I remembered cats hate vacuum cleaners, so in a rarely performed task I took the vacuum cleaner out of the cupboard. After a few minutes I found the ON switch and pushed the nozzle in the general direction of Tommy. Tommy was and is the first cat
I have ever met who did not seem to mind the noise of the vacuum cleaner. He just hunkered down for a row. He was yowling and a bit annoyed, so I stopped. Though not keen on his squatting, I did not want to stress him too much. I called on Mrs K who had been oblivious to all of this. “Move the bed,” she said. Which with hindsight seemed a good idea. But first we had to move eight boxes of CDs.

“Do you ever listen to these?” I asked, with a view to recycling, but Mrs K wanted every last one. So now we had a pile of CD boxes and a cat under the bed. The bed is king-size and wooden, and was not an easy move. Mrs K saw her chance and we moved the bed down the room, with the flick of the wrist Tommy was covered in a blanket and removed without fuss. This had taken about 45 minutes and I was fed up. As we pushed the bed back the
upright parted company with the frame and one corner collapsed. Last week’s heatwave had been the last straw on the glue. Now, I can’t be certain but I am sure I heard a cat laughing as I spent the next hour glueing and strapping the bed back together. I had seen a sticker on a car earlier that week. So many cats, so few recipes, it said. I had written the driver off as a tosser, but he may have a point. - Steve Kendall Twitter@stevekendall1

Cornish connections S
OME ethnic groups were a significant percentage of the population of the Bendigo area in the late 1850s, for instance that of the Chinese. The Chinese by and large were transitory, preferring to move on to other goldfields where their skills in the retrieval of alluvial gold would best reward their efforts. By contrast the Cornish were on Bendigo from the very beginning of the discovery of gold, and their numbers were soon swelled by those who had so skilfully helped to place the South Australian copper mining industry on such a sound footing. Many of those who came across from South Australia did so in the early years of the rush, however to steal a caption, that was a “rush that never ended”. As the quartz mining industry developed from the mid 1850s onwards the numbers of Cornish coming to this field went on and on and was greatly boosted by the mining company boom of the early 1870s. The Cornish settled here and their influence in religion, music and song in the 19th century was a powerful force in Bendigo. Bendigo could boast the largest concentration of the Cornish away from Cornwall
in the one area. It was little wonder when we remember that there were some 6000 gold mines here all told on the Bendigo goldfield. Some of the mines were quite small shows, yet others were and became for a time the deepest goldmines in the world. There was an old saying, “at the bottom of a mine shaft you will find a Cornishman”. As far as Bendigo was concerned that saying had a great level of truth to it. As I have mentioned before that the Cornish were the bones, muscle and sinews that helped to build Bendigo and the wealth from it constructed many other cities such as Melbourne which was the first destination of the bulk of our gold before it was shipped further to London. I had introduced you to Edward Jeffrey the engine driver through a number of previous articles. He came from the village of Illogen in West Cornwall, some three kilometres from one of the largest population centres in Cornwall, Redruth. The Illogen area had been occupied by the Romans because of the availability of the then very strategic metals of copper and tin. Copper and tin were used in the alloy bronze
then the strongest metal available. Early in the 19th century the Illogen district experienced a mining boom, this gave a great impetus to all the villages and towns in that vicinity. This boom, similar the one of the 1870s in Bendigo, did not continue due to the most easily mined metals having already been exploited and removed. Illogen was also the birthplace of one of the leading steam engineers of the 19th century, Richard Trevithick, the inventor of the Cornish steam engine and steam locomotive. Much machinery the design of which borrowed from Trevithick could be found in Bendigo still into the 20th century. It will be remembered that Edward Jeffrey also came to Bendigo via South Australia
The Expatriates Janice YK Lee, Little, Brown $29.99 It is against this backdrop of seeing, knowing and freely commenting one another’s most intimate movements that novelist Janice YK Lee introduces three very different American women who share a vast acreage of common ground. Hilary – an independently wealthy Californian – and David have been married more or less contentedly for 10 years but so far have not succeeded in adding a baby to the mix. With every passing month, Hilary, now 38, feels the pressure escalate. Former landscape architect Margaret, conversely, is a mother of three. With her husband, Clarke, she is raising two of the children, the whereabouts of the third quickly establishing itself as the central theme that shapes this plot.

AUTUMN ISSUE
High rise heartaches N the claustrophobic city that is high-rise Hong Kong, expatriates’ lives inevitably intersect. The men do business with each other, and the women – the “trailing spouses”, almost uniformly once-successful standalone individuals with their own careers indefinitely on hold – gather in select little social groups to do lunch. As inconceivable as it seems, this metropolis of more than seven million people is in reality more fishbowl than ocean for its contract-focused foreigners. Their paths collide in the supermarkets, in the restaurants and cafés, even at the long-weekendgetaway resorts; their children attend school together, and in their leisure time they mingle at the same welcome parties and, several years later, the same farewells.

OBERTSON Dental Innovations are delighted to expand the availability of quality dental services every weekend at their Condon Street clinic. Appointments are now available every Saturday between 9am and 2pm, for both emergencies and general dentistry. Offering convenience for those patients pressed for time during the week, these services are without additional surcharge. Due to increasing demand, Dr Rav Ramos has recently joined the clinic, and is experienced in all aspects of dental care having previously worked at the Adelaide Dental Hospital since graduating from the University of Adelaide. He is committed to delivering the best aesthetic outcomes possible for his patients. He joins Dr Kaushik Vanam in completing the Saturday team, who also offers general dentistry services and has a keen interest in treating people with sleep apnoea, TMJ and related difficulties. Both dentists are also available during the week for appointments. New patients are welcome. Please call on 5442 8640 to make an appointment or for more information see their website www.bendigodentist.com.au
PROFESSIONAL: Bendigo Day Surgery.
Caring and friendly staff ensure the best care B
ENDIGO Day Surgery, and their local medical specialists, offer same day surgical treatment and care with many benefits. Treatment is tailored to the specific needs of the patients involving a preadmission interview (usually by telephone), written discharge instructions, and a follow up phone call to ensure that the patient’s recovery is progressing well and answer any questions the patient might have. The admission time is usually scheduled 30 to 60 minutes prior to your procedure,
so there is only a short waiting period prior to your treatment. The average day surgery stay ranges from two to six hours. This short length of your time in the day hospital reduces the risk of complications, such as infection, DVTs and pressure injuries due to the limited exposure to the hospital environment. Brief exposure and the personalised friendly atmosphere of a day surgery hospital helps to reduce any anxiety or stress that may be experienced in a large hospital.
Patients are able to return to the comfort of their own home on the day of surgery. Due to the advances in surgical technology and anaesthesia, recovery from procedures performed in day hospitals and subsequent return to normal activities, occurs relatively quickly. For further information about Bendigo Day Surgery please visit the website www.bendigodaysurgery.com.au or phone 5444 3533.

HE Z Fit family recently celebrated their fifth birthday and owner Saari Frochot-Ryan couldn’t be more thrilled with the community vibe of the studio. The icing on the cake has been the business’s recent shortlist for the Bendigo Business Excellence Awards - people’s choice category, a testament to the warm, energetic and inclusive culture at the studio. Many satisfied clients say their positive experiences have included more than just health benefits. “You can’t choose your family but Z Fit is proof you can,” Jess Brady said. “Walking into Z Fit is like walking into a second home filled with familiar comforts and people who are happy to see you and instructors who are ready to whip you into shape”. Meanwhile, 55 year old Deb is thrilled to have found her ‘inner dancer’, and she says her fitness, strength, flexibility and confidence have improved tremendously. “I found Z Fit six months ago, the teachers and the community here have changed my life, I’m having a blast” she said.

HE team at Tammy Davis Podiatry, has recently welcomed podiatrists, Matthew Gordon and Susannah Hargreaves. Matt is very excited to join the team at TDP. He was born in Bendigo and has lived here his whole life. Matt completed his studies at Bendigo’s La Trobe University, while previously working in a range of roles at Bendigo Health. One of Matt’s biggest passions is volleyball, coaching juniors and travelling the country playing in the Australian Volleyball League, giving Matt the chance to interact with
members of the community. “I’ve got a keen interest in sporting and soft tissue injuries,” Matt said. “And as a type 1 diabetic, I take great pride in my knowledge of diabetic care.” Susannah started work at TDP in January, after completing a Bachelor of Health Science and Masters of Podiatric Practice at La Trobe University in Bendigo. Susannah grew up in Wedderburn where she played plenty of sport, so she knows how to swing a tennis racquet and hit a hockey ball. Her personal interests include travel, socialising, cooking, exercise and horse racing.
“My interests in podiatry, include chronic disease management, wound care, and biomechanical assessment and treatment,” Susannah said. “I’m looking forward to working with patients to formulate both short and long term treatment goals, as I pride myself in developing good relationships with all my patients.” Susannah enjoys living and working in Bendigo and also travels to TDP’s satellite clinics in Inglewood and Maldon.

OW is the perfect time to indulge in a relaxing, yet rejuvenating episode of salt therapy. The recently opened Salts of the Earth centre, heralds the arrival of salt therapy to Bendigo. The benefits of salt air have long been thought to relieve symptoms of a range of respiratory and skin ailments. “We see salt therapy as an opportunity to help others who suffer from respiratory and skin conditions, whether ongoing or seasonal, and aid sports recovery and general wellbeing,” Franchisee Simone Ledwidge said. Salt therapy specialists are on hand, to guide clients through treatment designed to work in conjunction with existing medical interventions. Dry salt is inhaled to cleanse the airways and skin, relieve congestion, inflammation, allergies and skin irritation. The therapy is ideally suited to those seeking relief from symptoms associated with asthma, hay fever, cold and flu, and eczema. The new Bendigo salt centre has three rooms for all ages and conditions - an adults room equipped with massaging recliner chairs, warm lighting and tranquil music, a kids room stocked with bean bags, toys and movies, and a private room for clients with skin conditions or compromised immune systems. Ms Ledwidge is excited to bring this lifechanging therapy to Bendigo and help many people in the Bendigo community struggling to find relief from their condition. “I encourage anyone looking for complementary therapy to book in a free consultation with one of our salt therapists.” she said. Appointments available seven days a week. Salts of the Earth, shop 16 Strath Hill Centre, 90 Edward Road, phone 5442 3334 or email bendigo@saltsoftheearth.com.au

Something special

Is my dentist an orthodontist? M
ANY Dentists are now offering orthodontic treatment as part of their services. There appears to be some confusion among patients/parents as to what this entails, with some people under the impression that, “My Dentist is, or my Dentist is training to be, an Orthodontist as well.” Most General Dentists who provide orthodontic treatment would have attended lectures/seminars and/or workshops, varying from one to two days in some cases to one to two weeks spread over one or two years in others, depending on the organisation offering this further education. In contrast, Specialist Orthodontists initially receive a university degree to become a qualified Dentist. They then undertake a further three years of full-time academic studies as well as full-time clinical training under the constant supervision of experienced Specialist Orthodontists, at an accredited university and teaching hospital. After a further 12 months of practice, restricted to orthodontic treatment, they are, finally, accredited by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency (AHPRA) as specialists in orthodontics. While Australian Dental Board
regulations allow general Dentists to offer orthodontic treatment to their patients, they are prohibited from using the term “Orthodontist” or leading patients to believe they have “specialist” skills in orthodontic treatment. This is much like your medical GP, who cannot describe themselves as a Specialist Physician or Surgeon, without first obtaining the appropriate training and qualifications. In a similar way to specialists in the various fields of Medicine, Specialist Orthodontists have a much deeper understanding of jaw and facial growth, the various orthodontic problems, their treatment and related complications, than our General Dental colleagues. Bee Happy Orthodontics has two specialists who service patients from a wide geographic area in Central Victoria with offices in Bendigo, Kyneton, Echuca and Kerang. Dr Tissa Jayasekera and Dr Bruce Sokel are both members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists www.aso.org.au and are the only registered Orthodontic Specialists in Central Victoria.
UTUMN is a time for reflection and doing gentle exercise which is what Alternative Fitness Bendigo and Karin Herrmann are all about. AFB’s studio overlooks serene gardens, bushland and the O’Keefe trail where you can exercise and meditate to the sounds of nature. All just a short drive from Bendigo in Junortoun. You can choose from Stretch and Fitball classes which improve flexibility, balance and core strength with beginners and intermediate classes on offer. Each class has a theme with variety and repetition on a weekly basis using ChiBolsters, medicine balls, fitballs and weights used to strengthen and balance the body. “Autumn is a time to turn our energy inwards,” Karin said who has been running fitness classes for 17 years. “It is a time to begin self reflection and in doing so build up our resources to sustain and nuture us through the autumn months and into winter. “So if you need to balance body, mind and spirit then choose between a Wu Tao dance, Shibashi or a ChiBall class. “We will have a good workout as well as feeling balanced and relaxed by the end of the session.” Karin has extensive knowledge and experience and creates a pleasant class atmosphere. Individual’s are catered for and advice is given whether for rehabilitation, back or neck pain, or sport injuries.

Meet Busta. He is such a lovely man and is the biggest smooch. He loves to sit on your lap and snuggle but isn’t aware of how big he is but that doesn’t stop him from trying to get on your lap. He will need to live with another dog as he doesn’t like to be left on his own and can become quite vocal and destructive. He will need a large secure yard to keep him safe.
Busta
Spayed Female, 1 ½ Years
A wonderful ball of white fluff. Elsa is so affectionate and loves all of the attention. She isn’t too sure about the company of other cats, so would do better in a home where she is the one and only. She is our little ice princess who is looking for a home where she will be treated like royalty.

Tigers burning bright UNITED saved arguably its best performance until last, when the Tigers easily defeated Spring Gully to be crowned the Emu Valley Cricket Association’s division one premiers for 2015/16. The Tigers turned in a dominant performance against the Crows, making 9/228 on day one behind 85 from Alex Collins. Collins came in with United at 2/30 and put on 83 for the third wicket with Xavier Walsh (31) to set the Tigers’ innings up. Collins departed with the score at 6/166, but there was some wag in the United tail, especially from number 11 Daniel Francis who made 21. James Fox took 4/71 for Gully, who used only five bowlers to complete the required 75 overs. In reply, Gully’s innings started promisingly enough but was derailed by man-of-the-match Francis. First off, Shaun Makepeace was dismissed for 23, with the score at 1/35. Darcy Geyer then fell without adding to the score, and Jayden Mannix fell after making an extremely defensive 10, and semi final hero Brannon Stanford could only make two as the Crows collapsed to 4/40. Francis took all four wickets, going on to finish with figures of 4/16 from 13 overs.
BENDIGO City FC will tackle Mooroolbark SC in its opening 2016 FFA Cup tie on Saturday after the draw for the fourth round of matches was held this week. All National Premier Leagues Victoria clubs are now in the competition’s draw, and all clubs that entered have played at least once. City won its opening two clashes last year in the competition, smashing Brunswick 4-1 after defeating Epping 2-1. Meanwhile the club’s wretched run of NPL form continued last week, going down 0-4 to Whittlesea ranges, whose team included former club captain George Slefendorfas. City is anchored to last place in the NPL2 West table, having lost its opening four matches without scoring and has a goal difference of -16.
BIG DAY IN BOORT WINNERS ARE GRINNERS: United’s 2015/16 premiership side. Kieran Nihill also bowled superbly again, his 21 overs including 12 maidens and conceding only 21 runs, and he was unlucky to go wicket-less. Alex Sutton and Des Gilmore dug in to see Gully get past the tea break after 45 overs without loss,
but the scorers were not breaking a sweat despite the warm conditions at just 4/55 at the interval. After tea, the combination of Andrew Duguid and Layton Ross combined to finish the Crows off, taking the last six wickets for just 20 runs.
East take out bowls decider A JUBILANT Bendigo East returned to the top of Bendigo bowls with a 14-shot win over Bendigo in last Sunday’s Bendigo Bowls Divison weekend pennant grand final. East rook three of the four rinks on the way to the 16/88 to 2/74 victory. Brad Holland outdueled Barry Anset 24-17, Brad Marron downed Andrew Brown 28-18, and Marc Smith took a close 19-18 win over Ian Ross. The lone Bendigo rink to get up was that of Tim Arnold, defeating Paul Moller 21-17. East will play in the Region Shield Pennant Finals on April 3. East also defeated Bendigo in division two,

100 shots to 73. In division three an extra end was needed to separate Marong and Harcourt, after both sides were left tied on 93 shots. The tiebreaker saw Marong beat Harcourt by two shots. In division four Heathcote defeated Eaglehawk by five shots, division five saw Inglewood belt Bridgewater by 52 shots and Marong got the better of Bendigo by a fitting six shots in division six. Kangaroo Flat and South Bendigo claimed victory in enthralling division seven and eight grand finals, while in division nine South Bendigo easily accounted for Kangaroo Flat.
Ross (5/13 from 6.4 overs) clean bowled Saheed Akolade and Liam Crapper with consecutive deliveries to finish the job. In division two, Mandurang got the better of United, while Maiden Gully scored a decisive win over the Crows in division three.

Griffin claims all-star gong By JOEL PETERSON
FOR the first season in her Bendigo Spirit tenure the team failed to make the playoffs, but that didn’t stop Kelsey Griffin from being named a WNBL allstar for the second straight season. Griffin averaged a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds per game, enough for her to join Townsville’s Suzy Batkovic, Adelaide point guard Leilani Mitchell, Sydney Uni’s Katie-Rae Ebzery and Perth sharpshooter Sami Whitcomb in the league’s all-star five.
She also finished fourth in the league’s Most Valuable Player voting, behind winner Suzy Batkovic, Ebzery and Whitcomb. She finished 10th in the league for blocks with 20 total and fourth for steals with 39, which also saw her finish third in the league’s Defensive Player of the Year voting a year after winning the award. Dandenong’s Steph Cumming and Perth’s Louella Tomlinson finished first and second in the award, respectively. Griffin was one of three players to average a double-double in the 2015/16

PACE: Brodie Filo in action for Eaglehawk.
125 years of continuous trotting 1891 - 2016
Bendigo Weekly – Friday, March 18, 2016
FORMER Eaglehawk midfielder Brodie Filo added another piece of silverware to an ever-expanding trophy case last weekend. The 2015 Michelsen medallist took out the Northern Territory Football League’s Nichols Medal as the competition’s best and fairest player. The Nightcliff Tigers dynamo took out a thrilling count ahead of William Farrer, with former AFL player Jared Brennan rounding out the top three. Filo dominated the Michelsen count, and proved it isn’t just the umpires in Bendigo that he catches the attention of. Heading into the final round both Filo and Farrer were in equal first with 16 votes before Filo was awarded two votes in Nichtcliff’s round 18 victory
over Wanderers. He had earlier taken out the NT News’s player of the year award for his stellar season. Filo will this year ply his trade with Shepparton United in the Goulburn Valley Football League. Filo was one of several BFNL players to head north this season, also including Jack Geary. Geary’s St Mary’s side is in yet another grand final, which will be played this weekend. The Saints take on Wanderers after a thumping 64-point preliminary final win over Southern Districts last weekend. Geary was named his side’s best player in the win. St Mary’s tackles Wanderers on Saturday night at Darwin’s TIO Stadium.
THE Bendigo Braves have moved swiftly in replacing Kevin Probert, signing Illawarra Hawks guard Kevin White to step into the vacant point guard role. White, renowned as a defence-first player, has played the last five seasons in the National Basketball League. Four of those years came with Sydney, where he won a defensive player of the year award, before making the switch and helping Illawarra to this year’s NBL playoffs. White averaged 3.2 points, two rebounds and an assist in 16 minutes per game for the Hawks, playing in a backcourt along with Kirk Penney and Kevin Lisch. White joins a Braves team that has gone 2-2 during four pre-season games. “Kevin will bring great leadership, experience and defensive pressure to the line-up and with Jeremy Kendle will be one of the most frightening backcourt combinations in the league,” coach Ben Harvey said. Preparations for the Bendigo Lady Braves’ season also kicked into gear this week, with the club announcing coach Jonathan Goodman will be flanked by Bernie and Kristi Harrower as his assistants this season. Former Bendigo Spirit head coach Bernie Harrower took over for Goodman on a caretaker basis last season and the team showed solid form during that stretch. The five-time SEABL championship winning coach and five-time SEABL Coach of the Year said he was looking forward to returning to the club. Daughter Kristi was a Lady Braves assistant before stepping away from the game to have her first child last year, and is also back on the sidelines. The Braves and Lady Braves get their seasons under way on the road on April 1 against Ballarat.
Roos’ sights set firmly on finals From Page 44 “That was a big focus, I thought our kicking really let us down last year,” he said. “We just gave the ball back to our opponents too much, so we really looked to improve that. “That came down a lot to our midfield depth, which I think we have strengthened with the guys we have brought in. I think our list is certainly in better shape than this time last year.” In what is shaping up to be one of the most even finals races in recent years, Stevens is not stopping short of declaring his expectations for this season. The Roos’ stellar netball program has always held its own in terms of featuring in September
while the football side of the equation lagged behind. Stevens maintained last year that if the club was to miss finals again he would re-evaluate his future as coach, and he is sticking to his guns on that front. “For us, it’s purely now about getting results on the field, that’s the key,” he said. “We have added and retained players, we have done everything we can on that front, and now it’s all about getting wins and playing finals footy. “It is vital that we push up and play finals, it is simple as that. If we can’t achieve that this year, we all need to re-evaluate what is going on. That includes myself, the club, and everyone involved.
READY TO GO: Kangaroo Flat’s preparations begins this weekend. “Our aim is pretty clear, we want to play finals footy, and we are going to do everything we can to get there.”
Kangaroo Flat begins its BFNL campaign against Golden Square under lights at home on Saturday, April 16.

Suns rise to the occasion
HEADING into the club’s fifth grand final in six years, Strathdale Maristians’ dynastic ways are showing no signs of abating just yet. The Suns will endeavour to claim back-to-back flags when they tackle Eaglehawk this weekend at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in the 2015/16 Bendigo District Cricket Association grand final. Last year, a dominant season culminated in a thrilling grand final win for Maristians over Strathfieldsaye, with the ever-reliable Ben DeAraugo again leading the way. It was the same story last weekend, DeAraugo getting Strathdale out of trouble in its semi-final against White Hills when he made 77 after coming in at 5/49, leading the Suns to a total of 241 which they defended with ease. The failure of the top order shows the club’s batting depth, but also hints at a possible vulnerability when it matches up with Eaglehawk’s fearsome pace attack. “It’s a strength of ours that we bat all the way down, but we can’t keep leaving it up to the middle or lower order otherwise at some stage you

are going to come unstuck,” Suns captain Linton Jacobs said. “At the start of the year the top order did a really good job, they have been maybe a little bit light on the last few weeks but they are due for some runs.” While the top four of Andrew Hosking, Jack Neylon, Nick Baker and Cam Taylor will be key with the bat, it has been the Suns’ bowling that, like Eaglehawk, has largely got them to this point. Jake DeAraugo has bowled brilliantly all season and displayed plenty of control yet not lost any pace, while the additions of Sam Johnston and Ryan Haythorpe into the attack have further strengthened the defending champions. Add Ben DeAraugo, Jayden Hicks and standout spinner Cam Taylor into the equation and it is not hard to see why Strathdale was only beaten twice all season. “We had a few injuries to Sam and Ryan who started slow, but they have come together really well and as a team we have been bowling really tight and fielding really well,” Jacobs said.
SPORT SPIN KING: Strathdale Maristians’ spinner Cam Taylor. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
“Jake has been bowling well, and Ben contributing has been great. Probably the key is the amount of overs Cam bowls, and the fact that he has been bowling really well and taking wickets. “Everyone’s bowling well as a unit and I have no doubt they are looking forward to the weekend.” Having already claimed the Twenty20 premiership earlier this
season, Jacobs is not only keen to get the better of brother Cory this weekend, but claim the Suns’ fifth flag in the last six years to extend one of the most formidable runs of success in local sporting history. “I think getting off to a good start could be key to the game, if we can see out the first hour or so whether we bat or bowl first,” he said. “We certainly know how to plan
Hawks soar into final COMING off a dominant semi final win over Bendigo United, Eaglehawk enters this weekend’s BDCA grand final full of confidence. The Borough demolished the Redbacks last week at Canterbury Park, making 355 before rolling the visitors for just 82. Having added openers Andrew Smith and Matt Fitt into the side through the season, Eaglehawk’s batting lineup has been significantly bolstered and is standing up to the test. Smith smashed 127 last week, while Josh Collinson and Anthony West have also been in good form. “(Smith and Fitt) guys were always going to come back into the side eventually really, and they have made a big difference at the top of the order,” Borough quick Cory Jacobs said this week. “Smithy is a freak when he is up and going, and he was super on the weekend.” Eaglehawk has been prone to inconsistency all season, and
comes up against a Strathdale Maristians team that is as consistent week to week as any side going around. Despite that inconsistency, the Borough’s bowling line up of openers Richard Tibbett and Shaun Knott, Jacobs and Cam McGlashan is the side’s card. Eaglehawk is yet to concede a score of over 200 this season and has rolled sides for less than 100 four times. “It would be key to get a couple of early wickets but Strathdale bat right down to 11 as well, so we know we are going to have to work all throughout the innings,” Jacobs said. “We really need to bowl out of our skins this weekend to have a crack at trying to steal the cup off of them.” Adding to the occasion for Eaglehawk is the impending retirement of skipper Jason Abbott, who was diagnosed with diabetes during the season and is playing his last game this weekend. “(Abbott) has done a power of work over the last 20 years
for grand finals, we won’t be overawed, we have all played under this pressure before so it’s more about executing and making the right decisions when the game is up for grabs.” In the second XI, Golden Square plays Bendigo at Strathfieldsaye, in third XI Kangaroo Flat plays Strathdale at Huntly and in the under-18s the Suns tackle Bendigo United at Canterbury Park.

probably, he has been fantastic,” Jacobs said. “We have one foot in the
door, and it would be super to be able to send him off with a win.”
THE Bendigo Jockey Club will host one of its biggest days tomorrow, with the Golden Mile Raceday returning to Epsom. Quality fields and plenty of on-course activities are features of the more relaxed raceday, which has proved a hit with punters over the last several years. The day’s feature event is the Bet365 Golden Mile, race seven on the nine-race card. The Leon and Troy Corstens-trained General Groove is favourite for the 1600-metre race, with Big Memory and the Peter Moody-trained Abidewithme also rated as big chances. Flanking the $150,000 listed Golden Mile are the Cattanach Jewellers Gold Bracelet over 1400m and the highly-rated $150,000 listed Bendigo Guineas. Across the nine races, $1 million worth of prizemoney is on offer on the track, making it one of the richest racedays in country Victoria and ensuring quality fields across the board. The first race on the card is at 12.25pm, with the last at 5.30pm. Away from the track, a Marilyn Monroe look-alike competition is giving punters the chance to win a holiday to Los Angeles. Gates open at 11am, with general admission tickets $20.

Finals vital for Flat
By JOEL PETERSON
AS the club embarks on its first practice match of 2016, Kangaroo Flat senior coach Jason Stevens believes the club needs to make the jump into the Bendigo Football Netball League finals. The Roos have promised plenty with big recruiting splashes in each of the last two years after a wooden spoon finish in 2013, but are yet to see September action under Stevens. The third-year coach finished 2015 under pressure but remained at the helm, and has again assembled a solid list of talent that he believes can deliver on its potential. “We’ve had a different sort of a preseason with a big focus on skills and match practice and match simulation sorts of things,” Stevens said. “We have had a lot of talent come in through the doors and a lot of those players will be on display, especially in our practice matches over the next few weeks. “We wanted to retain as many players as we could, and thought that if we could land a centre half back then we would be over the moon, and we have been able to do that as well as increasing our midfield depth.” One of the keys for the Roos in the offseason was increasing their firepower in the middle, which is exactly what the likes of Tom Holman, Rhys Healey and Tom Pridgeon were brought in for, while Lance Oswald adds a dynamic goalkicking presence. Centre half back Lloyd Hunter will also be one of the new faces in action for the Roos against Craigieburn in its opening practice match at Bendigo Mazda Oval on Saturday, filling another major need for the club. Stevens said a big focus in recruiting was bolstering the midfield to improve Flat’s problematic disposal by foot, which was at times downright brutal last year.
