Police give the inside story The Bendigo branch of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation is presenting one of its Inside Story events on Thursday. The foundation was set up to honour police officers who have fallen in the line of duty. As a way of remembering the police officers, money raised is given to charity. In the case of the Bendigo branch, money has previously been donated to the Bendigo Hospital short stay unit and for life-saving equipment. The acting president of the Bendigo branch, Senior Con-

■

stable Cherree Blair, said tickets are already selling fast for the Inside Story event to be held at the Kangaroo Flat Sports Club. “We have two speakers who will talk about the specific details of particular investigations, Sen. Con Blair said. “Detective Inspector Andrew Gustke gives a fascinating account into local and national counter terrorist investigations. “And Detective Senior Sergeant David Yeoman is talking about Operation Freetown. “This was an investigation conducted between 1997-98

into a man who raped seven women.” Sen. Con Blair said people are always fascinated by the talks and she expects tickets to sell very quickly. The Police Blue Ribbon website www.remember.org.au contains an honour roll of police officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Inside Story will be held the Kangaroo Flat Sports Club. Tickets are $50 per person and include a two course dinner. Drinks are at bar prices. Details: 5447 1214. - Dianne Dempsey

Restructure at the top of council – Page 3

BENDIGO residents have been told to prepare for an influx of medium density housing projects across the city that are expected to be built to cater for the growing number of one- and two-person households. MGS Architects director and architect Eli Giannini said medium density construction would eventuate in Bendigo, and that residents should now be talking about how they want it to look. Ms Giannini, who designed the $9.5 million Bendigo Library extension, said locals might be shocked at what is being built in Melbourne as medium density affordable housing and confused about how it can be replicated in Bendigo. The City of Greater Bendigo has launched a community awareness campaign with the message residents can expect to see smaller houses on smaller blocks in the future, and for more apartments and townhouses to be built in the city. But the council strategy, which aims to accommodate the growing proportion of one- and two-person households in Bendigo and will also garner more rate value per hectare, is attracting opposition from within the community. Council election candidate Mal Pethybridge said that although smaller, more affordable housing might be appropriate for La Trobe University students and nurses at Bendigo hospitals, in general it was not the

right thing for Bendigo. “That is why people leave Melbourne and come to Bendigo, for the country lifestyle,” said Mr Pethybridge. “Are we going to give them more of what they were getting in Melbourne?” City of Greater Bendigo strategic planner Andrew Cockerall this week told attendees at a housing strategy briefing that the value of housing for council was greatest in medium density areas including the retirement villages that line major arterial roads into Bendigo. Mr Cockerall also presented illustra-

He repeated the exercise for the 0.6ha block that was the former Symons Dairy site on Thistle St. Mr Cockerall said that from the perspective of height and scale at ground level, there was not much difference in appearance between densities.

Cash rate set for cut

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 29, 2016

THE Reserve Bank of Australia may look to cut the cash rate as early as next week, following this week’s inflation results, according to Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell. “Looking at the latest Consumer Price Index data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, consumer prices rose by 0.4 per cent over the last quarter and one per cent over the year to 30 June,” he said. “While these results were largely in line with market expectations, the yearly rise of one per cent is incredibly low by historical standards. “This less than impressive inflation result will certainly provide the Reserve Bank with the incentive they need to cut the cash rate again this year.

Rates will more than likely fall lower this year Mr Flavell said markets had already priced in another rate cut before the CPI results were revealed. “The market has definitely priced in a further cut (or cuts) to the cash rate, which has been reflected in the yield curve,” he said. “Overall expectations are for lower cash rates for longer in Australia (and similarly globally). This seems to come out of increased volatility in the markets, most of which can be attributed to Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.” Moving forward, Mr Flavell said even if the Reserve Bank doesn’t cut the cash rate next

OVERVIEW: A mortage expert says an interest rate cut could be on the way. week, property owners should expect to see another rate reduction this calendar year. “Rates will more than likely fall lower this year. If and when this happens, all eyes will look to Australia’s lenders to see if they follow suit and pass on the rate cuts to their customers,” he said. Economists and industry commentators are evenly divided on the prospects of a cut to the official cash rate when the RBA meets next week. WHILE rising house prices have been a hot topic in the past month, regional Victoria continues to offer buyers the ideal combination of space and affordability. New REIV data shows regional Victoria remains home to some of the state’s most affordable locations – many of which

are well below the state wide median of $347,000. In the Bendigo region, Ascot’s median price of $387,500 represented an increase of 5.4 per cent for the year. North Bendigo’s median rose 4.2 per cent to $302,500, while homes in central Bendigo have a median price of $357,500, down 2.3 per cent from June 2015. In Maiden Gully, the median was $449,000, in Strathfieldsaye it was $436,000 and in Golden Square it was $318,000. Elsewhere, homes in Kangaroo Flat had a median price of $352,500, in Quarry Hill – $385,000, Epsom $338,500 and in Spring Gully the median price was $340,000. In the 12 months to June 30, Kerang was Victoria’s most affordable town with a median house price of $117,000. This was followed by towns

in the Latrobe Valley, where buyers were able to enter the market for significantly less than the state’s median house price. Despite being within commuting distance of the city, Morwell and Moe in the state’s east both appear on the list of most affordable locations, with median house prices of $165,000 and $178,000 respectively. Also offering value in the Latrobe municipality is Churchill, where the median house price is $193,000. Some of the lowest median house prices in Victoria could also be found in the Sunraysia municipality, in Victoria’s north-west. For the second consecutive quarter, Merbein – bordering Mildura – was one of the state’s most affordable towns with a median house price of $184,125. Buyers can also get a foothold on the property ladder in nearby Red Cliffs, where the median house price is also less than $200,000. Stawell in the state’s west also offered opportunities for first homebuyers with a median house price of $190,000. Meanwhile, Seymour also made the list of most affordable towns in the past 12 months, with a median house price of $207,000. Other towns offering value for money include Maryborough, with a median house price of $217,000; and Tatura in the Goulburn Valley where buyers can enter the market for $224,500. While these areas offer affordability, many have experienced solid capital growth in the past year.

Search on for top staff

THE City of Greater Bendigo’s search for two new directors to form part of a new look executive has gone national. The organisation is seeking a Presentation and Assets director and another for the Strategy and Growth portfolio, via an advertising process that started last weekend. An advertisement placed in metropolitan newspapers refers to the council embarking on “a new journey to achieve the vision of working together to be Australia’s most live-

able regional city”. Chief executive officer Craig Niemann confirmed the new look council executive would include four directors, and that his new plan had been devised to serve the best interests of the city and the community for the next five to 10 years. “We have combined a few activities and services that we deliver,” Mr Niemann said. Having been in charge of an executive team that included several staff acting in positions vacated by recently departed and experienced

directors Stan Liacos, Pauline Gordon and more recently Darren Fuzzard, Mr Niemann said he was keen to see some stability return to the organisation and also praised those

taken on and delivered so successfully under City Futures would continue, mostly via the Strategy and Growth directorate. He said changes were also part of a continuous improvement process that all organisations should be doing, and that while the independent review into council had helped council run its business better and to think differently about how it works, the review’s influence over these structural changes had been minor. The recruitment process for the two vacant positions is expected to take several months.

BENDIGO will boast the best tennis facility in Australia outside of Melbourne when the Nolan Street Tennis Complex redevelopment is complete, according to state sport minister John Eren. Plans for the $6.1 million, twostage development were launched this week, as the Victorian government, the City of Greater Bendigo and the Bendigo Tennis Association called on the federal government to kick in funds to make the second stage of the project a reality. The redevelopment has been a long time coming for the BTA – even the scheduled reveal of the plans last month had to be postponed – but work on the project is expected to begin in November. “We are hoping that (stage one) will start in November this year and end in September next year. There is a stage two, and there is an application for just over $2m to the federal government at the moment,” Mr Eren said. “I would urge my federal colleagues to pay particular attention to this... This centre will be the best centre in all of the nation outside of Melbourne.” Stage one has been funded by the state government, council and the BTA and includes four courts being upgraded to international standard, and a multi-use pavilion as well as a new kitchen, kiosk, reception area, pro shop, administration area, accessible change rooms, toilets and a

tournament office. Stage two would include grandstand seating being installed and the lighting of a further seven courts to competition standard. Both council CEO Craig Niemann and BTA executive officer Leon Retallick said they were hopeful that the project would secure the $2.09m in federal funding for stage two through the National Stronger Regions Fund (NSRF). Federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters also called on the federal government to fund the project. “We’re very confident that we will, we have a very strong application to the NSRF,” Mr Niemann said. “We are working with the federal government now to make sure they can fund that. We think it’s a major initiative, that includes so many different parties that are funding this project, that it’s pretty hard for them not to fund it.” Mr Retallick said it would be a huge boost for the sport in the region, which sees around 1000 competitors in the summer season at the Nolan St complex alone. “It’s very exciting, it’s been in the works for a little while and we have revised our design. We are very happy,” he said. “This project will take care of tennis, and the wider community in Bendigo, for the next 20 to 30 years.” Construction on stage one is expected to be complete by September, 2017. - Joel Peterson EDITORIAL Page 15

Good news on water levels WATER storages in central Victoria are on the up and are expected to continue to rise with above average rainfall predicted through until the end of September. Bendigo had recorded 86.4 millimetres of rain this month at the time of going to print, the city’s wettest month since June 2014. It is also Bendigo’s third consecutive month with above average rainfall, a streak that has not occurred since between July and September, 2013. Lake Eppalock is up 6.7 per cent this month alone – and over three per cent in the past week – to 28.3 per cent according to Goulburn Murray Water data, and Coliban water’s share of the lake is at 43.4 per cent. Coliban’s storages are at 65.1 per cent, higher than this time last year, and have risen 10.4 per cent in the 10 days prior to going to print. Malmsbury has recorded 104mm of rain since July 1 according to Coliban, with an average of over 800 megalitres per dayflowing into Coliban’s Malmsbury, Lauriston and Upper Coliban storages since last Monday. In further good news for water storages, the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting above median rainfall in its latest climate outlook. A negative Indian Ocean Dipole and possible La Niña are influencing the rainfall with average to above average sub-soil moisture levels across most of the state producing positive streamflows. The bureau lists Bendigo as likely to exceed the median rainfall figure of 172mm through until the end of September.

New pool work starts THE new Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre is taking shape and this week saw community and local, state and federal government officials lined up to turn over the ceremonial sod at the site.

Clean up in pipeline

COLIBAN Water will soon call for tenders from companies to collect and dispose of arsenic and metals-laced sludge that it is the waste product of Bendigo’s groundwater, and to start pipeline construction. The water authority this week started the process of public consultation featuring two transitional options for which it is seeking Environment Protection Authority approval. The state government has set aside $23.2 million for temporary measures to deal with groundwater, which has been rising under Bendigo since mining ceased in 2011. Both transitional options

would be further treated to remove salts before storage and then potential reuse, including flows into Bendigo Creek. The second option would be to upgrade the plant at New Moon so that the removal of salt also occurs on site before being piped to Epsom.

The groundwater is currently being pumped to New Moon and, untreated, is piped into evaporation ponds at Woodvale. “The transitional solution will ensure that the water that is reused or released to the environment will be treated to a quality that is safe for irrigation reuse processes,” an information sheet from Coliban read. Coliban is now managing the project leaving the Department of the Environment, Land, Water and Planning free to develop a permanent solution for Bendigo’s groundwater. The transitional solution will be operational by the first half of next year. It has a project life of five years.

Better business THE 2016 Bendigo Small Business Festival kicked off with 25 events on Wednesday. The festival is part of Small Business Festival Victoria which features more than 450 free or low cost events throughout Victoria during August. The Bendigo Small Business Festival is supported by the City of Greater Bendigo’s Economic Development Unit as part of an ongoing commitment to support local small businesses. Mayor Rod Fyffe said the festival is a great opportunity for local businesses to gain important and relevant information to benefit their small

or micro business. “In Greater Bendigo we are showcasing 25 informative events which will prove interesting for small business owners, managers, staff and anyone considering starting or growing a small business,” he said. Feature events include a Riding the Digital Wave dinner with online trailblazer Chris Riddell at Ulumbarra Theatre on August 5 and a free HR Advice on Fitness for Duty information session at the Capital on August 18. “The council is presenting a develop your online strategy workshop on Wednesday, August 17 at the COG at 45

Mundy Street, a Build your business advantage workshop on Thursday, August 25 at La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre and a Business Planning Essentials short workshop on August 10 at the COG. Other events taking place in Bendigo during August will cover a range of topics including retail advice, starting out in business, juggling work/ life balance, social media and networking. A full program of events is available from the City of Greater Bendigo’s Lyttleton Terrace Office or can be viewed online at www.business. vic.gov.au/bendigofestival

A NEW publication called Made in Bendigo will showcase the region’s innovative and diverse manufacturing and mining sectors. The City of Greater Bendigo’s Economic Development Unit will promote the publication to companies looking to source suppliers or relocate to the region. Chief executive Craig Niemann said local manufacturing and mining businesses provide employment for more than 4000 people and are by far the largest economic contributor to Bendigo’s local economy. “Our manufacturing and mining sector also provides a diverse range of products for the local, national and international markets,” Mr Niemann said. “Many locals simply don’t realise the impact these businesses have on our local economy, what they have to offer and the local jobs they provide.” Mr Niemann said Made in Bendigo features 43 full colour pages that spotlight just some of the manufacturing and mining companies operating successfully in our region. “In the publication the companies highlighted explain what they do and why Bendigo is a great place to make things and do business,” he said. “Made in Bendigo is a great resource for businesses who may be considering setting up in our region. There is also a lot of fast facts and information about living in Bendigo.” Made in Bendigo will be used to help market and promote the Greater Bendigo region as a key regional centre for manufacturing. The publication is available online at www.bendigo.vic.gov.au or by phoning the City of Greater Bendigo Economic Development Unit on 5434 6000.

New push for tourism boost

DESPITE the profile of some of Victoria’s regional attractions, the challenge remains to get international and interstate visitors to travel outside Melbourne, and to spend money there. But the newly appointed chief executive of Visit Victoria, Peter Bingeman, said one of his first priorities would be to ensure the tourist experience lived up to the brand he will help develop in the coming months, and all that it promises. Mr Bingeman has just returned from Malaysia where he was responsible for the business of confectionary, food and beverage conglomerate Mondelez in Malayasia, Thailand, Singapore and China.

Those countries, as well as India and Indonesia, are the target markets for tourism operators in Victoria, given the rise in wealth in these countries. Only three per cent of all overnight visitors to regional Victoria are international visitors, which makes them a huge potential source of income for regional Victoria if places such as Bendigo can coax them out of Melbourne. Mr Bingeman told delegates at this week’s Victorian Tourism Conference in Bendigo that Victoria would have to rethink itself as a compact market to get visitors to travel. Regional attractions should be only a short travel time away, and accessible by public transport and private sector bus services or flights.

And given the fragmented media and unlimited opportunities available to tourists, Mr Bingeman said offerings in regional Victoria would have to be very good to compete. “Unless you are on the front

“

which is annual visitor spend by 2025, and an almost 60 per cent increase in jobs over the same time frame. Will he focus in on a feature to market the state, or create an umbrella brand to cover them all?

end, you are not on the dial,” he said. His job, to which he was appointed in May, is to come up with a brand for Victoria and to market the state. He already has the Victorian Visitor Economy Strategy to work with, and a target of $36.5 billion

“

By Sharon kemp

Those questions are ahead of him. Tourism minister John Eren is also keen to create opportunities in regional Victoria for visitors to spend money, such as the shopping opportunities in Bendigo when tourists come to see Bendigo’s cultural and histori-

cal landmarks, and unlike the Great Ocean Road where visitors spend an average of $18 each because there are few spending options. It could mean products, accommodation and infrastructure built in past decades may need renewal or updating to provide a more compelling experience for both domestic and those visitors from new markets. The strategy report says some of the challenges faced by regional Victoria included low international visitation, low awareness of regional experiences in the domestic visitor market, limited transport options, restricted internet access in some areas, a limited range of accommodation offerings and a lack of investment.

BENDIGO MP Lisa Chesters will assist in the portfolios of workplace relations and rural and regional Australia in what amounts to a surprise promotion but one that could be hard at times to reconcile. The former union organiser has been outspoken about regional Australians losing jobs to temporary visa holders, some of whom are paid lower wages. But regional towns cannot afford the continued fall in population, and international migration is fast being recognised as the way to halt the drying up of services to shrinking towns. “I am keen to look at the increasing challenge of temporary work coming into the region, making sure we have different legislation in place to ensure locals get local jobs first,” Ms Chesters said this week. “In terms of rural and regional Australia, apart from looking at jobs, I am also very keen to focus on how I can sustain and grow our regional town and cities. “So whilst Bendigo is growing at a sustainable rate, some of our smaller towns are starting to lose their GP service, they are starting to lose their post offices and I believe

at a federal level, we need to be doing everything we can to ensure the government is doing their bit to keep these towns going. “What I am saying is we don’t want workers to come here as temporary workers and be exploited. “What we are finding here, in Bendigo and around the country, is that locals are missing out on jobs. “Those workers don’t stay, they don’t rent homes. They live in Melbourne and are bussed up. “That is not a good solution, that does not help our towns at all.” Ms Chesters said she also wanted to tackle water policy, climate change and amending rules around how the dairy industry operates. She said her work for central Victoria had won her the promotion, about which she was not forewarned. It is in contrast to her own expressed desire to work from the bankbench. In a post-election interview, Ms Chesters had told the Bendigo Weekly she was happy to negotiate change through private member bills with crossbenchers on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Training for health Bendigo is one of only a few Victorian towns now offering a health and leisure course to job seekers – and its aged care employers have jumped on board in support. Launched in Bendigo in July, the Health and Leisure program skills job seekers in fun and rewarding roles that are also in high demand by employers including activities officers, community leisure officers, disability officers – day support, diversional therapy assistant, leisure officers and recreational activities officers. The program has been rolled out

to fill the growing demand for aged care services in the Bendigo area within a number of facilities. “There is a growing demand by Bendigo aged care facilities for community and residential leisure and activities officers to run programs for senior citizens still wanting to live a full and meaningful life,” health and leisure trainer Corina Reid said. “The great news is, this means new regional job opportunities for many Bendigo residents in rewarding roles that they may not have known existed.”

Breastfeeding stars for centre FAMILIES are the focus of the newly refurbished parents’ rooms at the Bendigo Marketplace, with the Australian Breastfeeding Association awarding the centre a five-star accreditation rating for its facilities.

The program is coordinated and run by Partners in Training Australia which first opened in almost a decade ago in Shepparton by business woman Dot Spain. Her aim is to provide a useful education experience for regional and rural students who may not be able to undertake their studies in Melbourne, for economic or personal reasons.

Indira Naidoo ONE of the ways the horrors of the nightly news was made palatable for us was through the persona of news presenter Indira Naidoo. Ms Naidoo presented the SBS News’ inaugural Late News in the late 1990s. During this time she covered the independence struggle in East Timor, the coups in Fiji and the Balkans war in Kosovo. Warm, attractive and with an innate sense of compassion, she filtered the news for us so that the blow of its delivery was somehow softened. However, behind her composure, Ms Naidoo was feeling the impact of some of the terrible stories. “There were stories of mass graves being found, of fighting and killing during the Timor crisis,” she said. “It can start to affect you.” However when Ms Naidoo left the SBS it was with a mission in mind. “I saw patterns emerging

This was followed by The Edible City (Penguin 2015) which explores some of Sydney and Melbourne’s best community gardens, and includes garden-inspired recipes. She also writes a popular food and gardening blog Saucy Onion www.saucyonion. blogspot.com Her impressive CV is orientated around her passion for the global environment and sustainability issues. “There is lots of space in cities and it’s a necessity that we grow our own food,” she said. Ms Naidoo will be speaking with Fiona Parker at the Bendigo Writers Festival on Friday, August 12 at 2pm in the Capital Theatre.

from the conflicts I was reporting, and that was that the conflicts were being driven by filters of food and water,” she said. “Droughts caused by climate change play a role in many countries.” Ms Naidoo cites as an example the Syrian conflict. While the war is a complex issue she believes that water and climatic conditions have added huge pressure to that conflict. “For me, gardening was another way of exploring the issue of climate change, of telling the story,” she said. Ms Naidoo believes that while the majority of us are living in the cities the disconnect between nature and our food is increasing. Her first book The Edible Balcony (Penguin 2011) docu-

was appropriate to its location. In Bendigo, that will mean design that does not detract from landmarks, or landscape, looking at construction materials that replicates what is already in the area and creating a layout that does not disturb the privacy of neighbours. It may also mean emulating the angles and heights of nearby buildings, and ensuring green space is reserved for occupants in which to create their own neighbourhood or common area.

“The denser the development, the more consideration needs to be put into the neighbourhood environment because what sort of community do we want to live in?” she said. Ms Giannini said growing up in Rome with narrower streets and smaller homes, she found odd the Australian norm of wide streets edged by single storey detached houses. She said she felt more secure in built-up areas where there was more people, what is called passive security.

Teachers prepare

Regional design and technology teachers are being prepared for the new state curriculum being introduced next year. DATTA – the Design and Technology Teachers Association – was at The Discovery Centre on Monday to work with 40 teachers from across the state to help implement the F-10 design and technology curriculum. From term one in 2017, design and technology is a mandatory part of learning from F-10 (foundation or prep to year 10), creating opportunities and challenges for teachers. “There are great opportunities for cross curricular working – for example design and technology is a great vehicle for delivering STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) – but has the added bonus of developing much sought after creative problem solving skills in students.” DATTA’s Laura Murphy said. “By the end of the day, they will have worked with their colleagues from across the state to renew their classroom projects to get ready for implementation next year. “The creativity is an essential component of technology – the

Ms Murphy said design and technology is much more than using tools, it introduces concepts such as preferred futures and ethical choices. “Sustainability and creativity are instilled in student’s learning,” she said.

THERE have been some changes at the Huntly and District Historical Society, but the group is still up and running at the same location. Esteemed secretary, chief cook and bottle washer for many years, Esma Turner, is no longer in that role, but continues to compile and edit the Huntly Epsom news, off-site. Secretary Annie Peters said the group exists to help with local and family history research of the former Shire of Huntly. “We are a small team of dedicated volunteers of whom some are on-site two days a week, as well as other advertised times to attend to various community requirements,” she said. “There are open days on the first Sunday of each month.” The group holds some pictorial history items including photos, newspaper items, personal stories and books, and computerised data. “We also mount research projects on the micro-communities such as tomato growers, hotels, petrol stations, schools, kindergartens, post offices, grocers and supermarkets, clubs, associations, fire brigades, red cross, railways, local government personnel, births marriages and deaths and inquests,” Ms Peters said.

Breast care is needed By DIANNE DEMPSEY

hard headed: Meet Graham at the art gallery.

Graham on the road THE unconventional yet confronting new face of the Transport Accident Commission’s latest road safety campaign is coming to Bendigo. Meet Graham. He’s not pretty to look at, however Graham has been designed with the features needed to survive the forces involved in a fatal car crash. Created by Australian sculptor Patricia Piccinini in collaboration with leading trauma surgeon Christian Kenfield and road-safety expert David Logan, this oddly shaped silicone sculpture is attracting attention from all over the world. He serves as a reminder of human vulnerability on the road due to the increasing road toll within the past year. Meeting Graham is an interactive experience with visitors able to look beneath Graham’s skin to better understand how his unique features would protect him from a car accident Graham is set to visit Bendigo Art Gallery from October 5 until October 30, and is also available for viewing online at meetgraham.com.au – Thalia Thirunavukarasu

Unfortunately the prospect of breast cancer continues to haunt many women. According to the program manager of Bendigo BreastScreen, Elisa Alford, one in eight women will be affected by the condition. On the other hand agencies such as BreastScreen Victoria have been set up to specifically identify women at risk. Finding breast cancer early before any symptoms are noticed, and when treatment is most likely to be successful, gives women the best chance of survival. A regular breast screen, every two years, is the best way to find cancer early. It is also important to note that nine out of 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Ms Alford said that if a woman is concerned about a lump in her breast the quickest way she can resolve the situation is by going straight to her GP and getting a referral from there. “There are nurse counsellors here and they are available to talk to women about their concerns,” she said. “If a woman does have to have treatment the counsellors support them all the way through the process.” While women with a strong family history of breast cancer have a higher than av-

Jury out on Jury A recent media report on the sitting of the Citizens’ Jury revealed just what was expected of the council ancillary. Did it deliberate on the issue and question asked: What should council spend our rates on for the future of the residents of Bendigo? If council is to maintain its competitiveness as a provider of high quality services, against a backdrop of constraint budgets, growing population and the imperative to leverage maximum value from every ratepayer dollar spent, there needs to be greater discussion and transparency. The mayor’s comment that he “believed the jury was a way for the council to confirm challenges like rate capping and funding cuts from state and federal governments” is just pushing the issue on to this ancillary body. There is nothing new in calls for “Equity or equality for ratepayers”, as numerous letter writers and the Independent Review have been calling on council to implement that view for years. Against a backdrop of cliques of self/special interests, expressing “dire necessity” of raising rates by six per cent annually and applauding costly expenditure. Will this ancillary body become tangible and visible proof of the recognition of merit and a capacity in serving the ratepayers of Bendigo, or just a clan which gathers for the exclusion of outsiders and naysayers? To claim that self-interest or pecuniary interest will not intrude among the 24 people gathered is asking the ratepayers to believe in the tooth fairy. Especially when this group representative of Bendigo is not openly and transparently revealed. The claim by the New Democracy industry that a randomly selected panel will provide “lay knowledge” can turn into a meeting being probed for answers by a council only interested in pushing its agenda, and manipulation of the issues which concern council, which are not representative of Bendigo ratepayers. Bill Collier, Golden Square

Waste exemption flawed While I fully support council’s organics waste initiative I strongly condemn their flawed exemption process. Recently I participated in a series of three community meetings in Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye with in excess of 130 attendees mostly voicing their

concerns about how to apply for an exemption. One Eaglehawk attendee had been granted an exemption but the CEO insisted on a statutory declaration being supplied. The lady has complained to the Human Rights Commission. However according to the March 2 council minutes (page 123) the councillors did not vote for a stat dec to be completed because direct household inspections are being undertaken by council employees. The Bendigo Weekly’s July 22 edition page 15 advertisement states that only ratepayers can apply for an exemption – well that is true, however some ratepayers need assistance in completing or lodging the paperwork. I, like other council candidates offer ourselves to assist in this. It seems council officers shift the goal posts now that they see in excess of 2000 applications for exemption lodged with still a month to go. If elected at the next October council elections I aim to have this exemption process extended so that ratepayers can participate with all available facts put before them. George Flack, Eppalock Ward Candidate

Dollar fleece Well, I guess the council have got their way once again, the rates have been capped, but they have found a new way to fleece dollars out of the ratepayers. By providing an extra bin at $70 per year they have got what they wanted – more revenue. They won’t care if it’s used or not. And where does that leave landlords? Do they put the rent up, to cover this extra cost, thereby causing grief to long suffering tenants? Water rates and insurance go up every year, so I guess rents have to go up every year to cover to cover this expense, what’s an extra $70? We are only a family of two, and wouldn’t fill a bin in 12 months. We don’t even put our garbage or recycling bins out every week. So, who do I tell, not the council, they won’t care. Peter Tharle, Bendigo

Where is the money? It is concerning to hear the Kangaroo Flat Enterprise Group are not getting the support funding they expected from the community, in support of their commitment of $1 million dollars towards the aquatic centre project. Does this mean the project will

To buy a signed copy of any Glanville cartoon please phone 5440 2500

need to be reduced if the money is not raised? I believe council was told by the Kangaroo Flat Enterprise Group they had $1m to contribute if council voted to build the planned 50-metre pool. This money was to cover the shortfall in funding. Council voted five to four in favour on this basis at the ordinary meeting of council on June 24, 2015. Those who have contributed to the appeal are respected on the basis of supporting the community, but no respect is shown to the ward councillors who voted in support of creating this unnecessary saga, by accepting a multi-million dollar project on a promise of further unconfirmed funding just to achieve an outcome which suited council’s hidden agenda to demolish the leisure centre. I hope ratepayers remember these issues during the forthcoming council elections. Jan Pagliaro, Lockwood Ward Candidate

Incinerator not the way Zero waste is “the design and management of products and processes to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn them” according to the Zero Waste International Alliance. In 2015, the city of San Francisco managed to divert 80 per cent of all municipal and commercial waste from landfill by mandating recycling

and composting, and aims to get to Zero Waste by 2020, creating more than 1000 local jobs in the process. With a recycling rate of 60 per cent, Portland Oregon, has successfully reduced its kerbside collection of household garbage to fortnightly, and increased to weekly its recycling and organics collection. Successful environmentally friendly recycling and composting programs rely upon the “economy of scale” principle, in that the more people who participate, the cheaper such initiatives become. Waste incineration is not a genuine source of renewable energy. Municipal waste is non-renewable, consisting of materials such as paper, glass and plastics which are derived from finite natural resources such as forests that are being destroyed at unsustainable rates. Burning these materials in order to generate electricity creates a demand for “waste” and discourages much needed efforts to conserve resources, reduce packaging and waste and encourage recycling and composting. More than 90 per cent of materials currently disposed of in incinerators and landfills can be reused, recycled or composted. Providing subsidies and incentives for incineration encourages local governments to destroy these materials rather than investing in environmentally sound practices such as recycling and composting. Additionally, recycling creates 10-20 times more jobs than incinerators. Incinerators require enormous

capital investment but offer relatively few jobs compared to recycling. All incinerators pose considerable health and environmental risks. Captured pollutants are converted into toxic by-products such as ash, slag and waste-water treatment sludge which are released into the environment. Additionally, modern air filters still do not prevent the escape of ultra-fine, carcinogenic PCBs and dioxins into the atmosphere. Burning of waste contributes to climate change. According to the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), “waste to energy” incinerators contribute higher levels of greenhouse gasses throughout their life-cycles than source reduction, reuse and recycling of the same materials. The City of Greater Bendigo faces significant challenges in regard to our waste management. Expensive waste to energy plants have imposed significant economic burdens, including municipal bankruptcy, upon already heavily industrialised struggle-town host cities such as Harrisburg and Detroit which tragically mistook them for an economic life-line. Rushing to spend ratepayers’ money on dubious incinerator technology would divert money from long-term investment in cleaner, safer and healthier solutions to the vexed problems of waste disposal and energy production. Michelle Goldsmith, Whipstick Ward Candidate

editorial

opinion

A sporting chance IT’S time. That’s the call from a united group of stakeholders associated with plans for the overdue redevelopment of Bendigo’s Nolan Street tennis complex. And it is difficult to argue with those calls, given the strength of existing funding commitments and the history of this proposal. A city such as ours that is fortunate to have very good and/or outstanding facilities in so many other areas, should rightly and confidently continue to push for the very best tennis facilities as well. These projects are not just about delivering infrastructure to serve the sport of tennis, because club rooms and community facilities actually provide a valuable resource and service to the community. It’s worth noting that Victorian government minister John Eren reckons the project could deliver the people of Bendigo the best tennis facilities in Australia outside of Melbourne. It might be a big call, but surely we should be aiming to at least provide the best facilities outside of any capital city. Greater Bendigo may well be blessed with great facilities in so many ways, but in others we sadly lag behind, particularly as highlighted elsewhere this week, when it comes to facilities for female sporting participants. Communities need to work together to break down barriers to participation in sport and to the

Narrow the divide By BRIDGET MCKENZIE Nationals Senator for Victoria

BENDIGO is a vital link in strong regional cities’ growth and creating a new framework for growth outside the capital cities. The challenge for national leaders is to develop a plan that narrows the divide between regional cities and major capitals. We need to create policies that look beyond cities ARTIST VIEW: The planned tennis complex. continued involvement of as many people as possible, especially in sports that might not otherwise attract the headlines or dollars that major codes such as football, basketball and cricket do. It’s well established and accepted that playing sport and being involved in a team and in a club is good for us – and in turn, good for the community. And as a community that has a demonstrated need to get off its backside and to be more active, improved sporting facilities also represent an investment in the commitment to better health. Something none of us can ever take for granted. For its part, the Bendigo Tennis Association could be forgiven for thinking this is a case of deja vu, having seen support for its planned redevelopment of the Nolan Street centre evaporate after the 2013 federal election. That’s history now, but a live

funding application to the National Stronger Regions Fund currently sits with the (returned) federal government, awaiting a decision originally expected about now. An affirmation of the vision for a new standard of tennis facilities for the people of Bendigo and the surrounding region would enable the first (and funded) stage of the project to proceed with the clarity and confidence that the $2.09 million needed for stage two is on the way as well. Our city has an outstanding record of attracting funds from the NSRF, having tasted success with the Bendigo Airport project and the Greater Bendigo Indoor Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre. The recent federal election might have slowed things down a bit when it comes to consideration of the next round of NSRF recipients, but the wheels of government must continue to turn, and hopefully towards more good news for Bendigo.

We can start by having a constructive dialogue with groups like Melbourne into regional communities. Bendigo is a key to developing a better regional cities framework, in attracting families to the area. Many regional cities are growing faster than the national average. The population in Bendigo grew by nine per cent over the five years from 2006 to 2011 and is expected to grow to 144,751 by 2031. More and more people are looking at the Greater Bendigo area as a very attractive place to live as Mel-

bourne bursts at the seams. Melbourne has been named as the world’s most liveable city for the past five years running, and continues to be the main destination for new residents to the state. In 35 years, Melbourne will double its population, from four to eight million people and will become Australia’s biggest city. That is why we, as a nation, should be taking active steps to build up our regional capital cities, like Bendigo as a competitive place to do business and have all of the things that make a city a great place to live, while maintaining the country feel. The challenge for national leaders is to develop a plan that narrows the divide between regional capital cities and major capitals, creating policies that look beyond Melbourne and into regional communities. We can start by having a constructive dialogue with groups such as Regional Capitals Australia and other regional players to help plan a substantial part of our future. I believe the future of regional Australia is critical to the future of our nation, building stronger regional economies and secure communities, delivering opportunity and prosperity for all regional Australians.

ORGANICS – THE FACTS! The City of Greater Bendigo will introduce a new fortnightly Organic Waste Service from September 5, 2016 to over 40,000 households in the urban Bendigo and Marong area.

●

The cost of this new service for the 2016/2017 financial year is $71 or $1.65 per week. This reflects the actual cost of providing the service to residents. When the new organics service commences residents will be able to dispose of all cooked and uncooked food scraps including vegetable peelings, teabags, coffee grounds, paper towel, tissues, fish, cooked foods, bones, dairy, meat and garden waste including prunings, clippings, sticks, weeds and flowers in the new organics bin. This organic waste will be processed into compost for re-use including use on local parks and gardens. Organic material breaking down in landfill is the biggest cause of methane and other dangerous greenhouse gases. About 50% of waste in an average garbage bin is organic (food or garden waste) so it can be composted instead of going to landfill. The City recently awarded a seven year contract to Four Seasons Waste for the collection of the new organic waste service from more than 40,000 households. Four Seasons Waste will be working from a depot located in Bendigo and intend to employ a number of additional local drivers to undertake the new contract. In addition their trucks will be serviced and maintained in Bendigo by local service providers. The green waste service provided by Greenaway Bins is for garden waste only. You cannot dispose of cooked and uncooked food scraps via the Greenaway Bin service. There currently isn’t any other kerbside collection option in Bendigo that can accept both food and garden waste for recycling.

●

Just like your waste and recycling collections, the new organic waste collection service will be provided to all households in urban Bendigo and Marong. Residents cannot choose to “opt-out” of the City’s new organics service. However property owners can apply for an exemption if they are effectively and intentionally managing all food and garden organic material on their own property. Only property owners can apply for the exemption – no other individual, company or third party can do it on your behalf. You should only apply for an exemption if you can demonstrate you are effectively and deliberately managing your organic waste on your property e.g. composting systems, worm farms, household animals etc. Once you have submitted your application for an exemption one of our friendly staff members will visit you to assess the management systems you are using. (Please note due to the number of applications we are dealing with this process could take several weeks) If you are successful in your application for an exemption you will be required to sign a statutory declaration to prove you are committed to using your home organic management system into the future. Unfortunately, we cannot complete the exemption process without your signed statutory declaration. You can apply for an exemption online at www.bendigo.vic.gov.au or you can phone the City on 5434 6000 to request an exemption form be posted to you.

She also toured the US that year, playing a series of festivals and club shows in Nashville, Austin and San Francisco. She’ll be playing songs from her forthcoming album Star Parade. “Healing Dog,” she says, “is about the power of small animals, After The Ride, about political uncertainty and the title track an ode to the long drive.” “I love playing in Bendigo because I had a wonderful childhood there. I’m delighted to see the arts community having such an impact on the city. It’s a beautiful place and I have very dear friends there.” Sarah Carroll certainly likes playing in Bendigo – she’ll be back on Saturday,

FTER many years as an Accordéoniste for Irish punk bands and Café concert Chanson Française circles, Rowan Blackmore began growing Cacao and other tropical fruit trees in a temperate climate. This desire for a slice of the tropics somehow led him to re-explore his early creations in electronic music. Performing under the name Cacao Farmer, he has produced an electronica-based exploration of Reggae, Indian, Latin-American, Middle Eastern and diverse genres

based within the realms of modern and traditional world music and mid 90s to early 2000’s electronica and down-tempo music. “With an electronic based drive, I use programmed hip hop and dance beats; with self-composed samples and organic instrumentation,” he said. “In a live setting I play as many instruments as possible; ranging from sitar and tabla, to trumpet, guitar, mbira, oud, pandeiro, accordéon (of course) and more.” Cacao Farmer plays the Golden Vine Hotel tonight.

AST Saturday, seven local choristers joined others from across Melbourne and regional Victoria to perform Windrush, as part of the 300 member Boîte Millennium Chorus at the world class Hamer Hall in Melbourne. The Bendigo group, under the leadership of Kelly Effenberg trained for 10 weeks before coming together with other regional choir groups to form the biggest Caribbean choir in the world. “This has been a fantastic opportunity, as Bendigo hasn’t been well represented in the Boite over the years, as participants have had to travel to Castlemaine or Melbourne for rehearsals,” regional choir leader Ms Effenberg said. “It would be great to have more involvement by Bendigonians next year, especially in the Boite Schools Chorus. It’s well resourced for teachers to easily participate.” The Boîte (pronounced “bwaht”) Millennium Chorus has been performing since 1999. Many Bendigo locals have joined the group over the years and inspired others to join. “It’s a wonderful experience; you learn more about the world, yourself and meet some fabulous people from across Victoria. I would do it again in a heartbeat,” first-time Boite member Bryley Savage said. Artistic director Geoffrey Williams from Daylesford, and Ballarat-based choral director Stella Savy (originally from Bendigo) led the powerful 300-voice choir, along with an all-star reggae/ska house band. Mr Williams’ original compositions told the personal tale of his family’s journey of planned migrations from sunny Jamaica to chilly London. For more information go to boite.com.au

Bendigo LIFE discover bendigo with James Lerk

what’s on...

Back behind bars W

ILLIAM Stanford, the man with a number of aliases and someone who had escaped from a Pentridge Prison work party, found himself once again behind bars. Stanford’s connection with the Bendigo area had been relatively brief, and while here he had the unfortunate accident on horseback with Lachlan MacLachlan. During his escape he came back to this area, his horse on this occasion really was stolen. In company with another wanted man, Frederick Clarke, they had stuck up on the McIvor Road an Auguste Kalle. Kalle had been roughly treated by these two desperados, after having taken all his items of value, he was then tied to a tree. Stanford and Clarke’s booty included a large white silk handkerchief that had a red border. The two bushrangers finished up at Sailor’s Gully and they took a room at the Pavilion Hotel, on the corner

of Reef Street and Sailor’s Gully Road. Mrs Webb was the licensee, she having not long before taken over from Thomas Williams. She had her doubts about these two guests and when they were out on horseback, she went to their room and found the items that had been taken from Auguste Kalle. Included among the items that she had handed to the police was a capped and loaded pistol. The police laid in wait for the return of Stanford and Clarke and they were without a great deal of difficulty re-arrested. Both men were taken to the lock-up in central Bendigo and were to appear at the Police Magistrates Court on the following day. Once again Stanford was in front of his nemesis Lachlan MacLachlan, who immediately recognised Stanford from five and a half years earlier. MacLachlan, with his cold hard stare through the monocle that he brought up to his eye, soon had the

accused back on the road to Pentridge. Stanford’s other escapade to freedom was mentioned last week. It was now obvious to the Pentridge Governor that this prisoner, William Stanford, should never be permitted to go outside the high bluestone walls on work parties. Through theft and bushranging Stanford had managed his freedom for only brief periods. Once back behind bars this much embittered young man became the source of great annoyance to the prison warders through his frequent transgression of prison rules. Stanford continued his hard labour which was working with bluestone now only within the prison confines. When he could he would secrete away small metal objects which he used as tools to begin sculpting some of the bluestone. When this was discovered he was sent to a solitary confinement cell. The cat and mouse game of Stanford and the ward-

ers continued and he did not give up on his sculpting activities. Constantly in trouble Stanford was considered to be an incorrigible inmate of Pentridge. It so happened, that Joseph A Panton, former Gold Commissioner at Bendigo, was now a Police Magistrate himself and serving on the bench in Melbourne. Panton in his official capacity visited the Pentridge prison and he was on very friendly terms with the gaol’s governor. The two officials would relax together in the governor’s office and discuss many things, including the

Elephant Dawn Sharon Pincott, Allen & Unwin $32.99 up the Presidential Elephants, a group of 17 extended families ranging over a mix of private and public land adjoining Hwange National Park. Elephant Dawn documents Pincott’s experiences, from her frustrating struggle to obtain a Zimbabwean entry visa to her brushes with the scorpions, black mambas and baboons that from time to time made themselves comfortable in her native-style hut. Most of all, it describes the author’s attachment to the elephants – young or old, newborn or battle-scarred – that, despite the supposed protection extended to them by president Robert Mugabe, 15 years after Pincott first began to identify them continue to face bullets, snares and poison as their numbers dwindle. Her story is both a personal

record of one woman’s endeavours and a first-hand analysis of the factors that together triggered the most self-destructive period in Zimbabwe’s history. Elephant Dawn summons laughter and tears, smiles and grimaces, anger and pride at the determination with which Pincott carries out her mission, funded through her own efforts and in the face of considerable – at times life-threatening – opposition from parochial Zimbabweans determined to see white residents expelled from the country. – Rosalea Ryan

Riding the storm in Zimbabwe F there’s one animal that symbolises Africa more than any other, it’s the elephant, yet within our lifetime, researchers predict, the last wild herds of this species will most likely disappear. One of the most vulnerable elephant populations is in Zimbabwe, a country whose chronic social, political and economic conflict relegates wildlife conservation to the bottom of the priority pile for desperate subsistence game poachers and greed-crazed government officials alike. Undaunted, in 2001 elephantlover Sharon Pincott gave up an executive IT career in Australia and moved from inner-city Brisbane to the sparsely populated wilds of Zimbabwe’s western bushland. There, she set out to observe and then name and catalogue the hundreds of individuals that make

behaviour of the inmates. On one of Panton’s visits to Pentridge the governor during their conversation pushed some hand written papers across the table saying to his visitor read this rather extraordinary unbelievable tale from one of his prisoners. The sheets of paper were neatly written and were like a confession of what went wrong with the writer’s life. How in the first instance he had been incorrectly gaoled just because his friend was unable to produce the receipt for a horse that the writer, Stanford had been riding on that fateful day in 1853.

Funerals Do you have your affairs in order? There is no substitute for experience CONTINUING a proud family tradition started by his great, great, grandfather Peter Fizelle, back in 1886 Simon Mulqueen has spent more than 36 years supporting families through bereavement in his role as a funeral director. This makes him one of Bendigo’s most experienced in the field. Simon initially worked with his father Peter Mulqueen

in the family business before establishing his own independent business – Bendigo Funerals. He provides a more focused and personal approach while maintaining a five generation strong connection with Bendigo Families. Simon’s knowledge and expertise has enabled him to be involved in a number of committees both Government and Industry, aimed at improving

CARING: Bendigo Funerals’ Simon Mulqueen.

the industry and its service to the public. The most recent being as a member of the Funeral Industry Ministerial Advisory Council. Since the 1980s, Simon has been involved in developing options for pre-paid funerals. Although they are not a new product and in fact, have been around in various forms since the 1930s, the modern version is safer, more specific, and protected by law. In 1993 and 2006 the Victorian Government introduced legislation that protects clients’ rights in regard to prepaid funerals and Simon encourages families to consider this option. Pre-paying a funeral offers peace of mind knowing the emotional and financial burden often associated with a funeral is taken care of. Simon, like his father and grandfathers before him, strives to provide quality service and quality facilities from his new modern premises at the Bendigo Funeral Centre, 29 Miller Street Flora Hill.

DYING TO KNOW: Joanne Trickey and Joan Loverso getting ready for the upcoming Expo.

Preparing for the inevitable IT is a subject many of us try to avoid but we will all be affected sooner or later. Especially considering the number of Australians aged 65 and older will double in the next 30 or so years. Bendigo Health’s palliative care volunteer coordinator Joan Loverso and Remembrance Park Central Victoria’s Joanne Trickey have been busy finalising exhibitors for the Dying to Know Day Community Awareness Expo at the Bendigo Library for Monday, August 8. Dying to Know Day events, are being held nationally during August and will be encouraging informative displays and discussions between the public and members of the health and funeral sectors.

This free community awareness expo will cover a range of topics around end-of-life care, support, dying and bereavement. Attending will be representatives from Bendigo Health, Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre and Remembrance Park Central Victoria along with local funeral directors to answer all your queries. There will also be information available from Alzheimer’s Australia and Centrelink, and a number of guest speakers and free resources. No bookings or reservations needed – just come along between 9.30am and 12.30pm to the Bendigo Library in Hargreaves Street on Monday, August 8 to find out more. www.dyingtoknowday.org

A communal area for the living and departed REMEMBRANCE Parks – Central Victoria (RPCV) are continually evolving their professional services and quality merchandise to meet the needs of a changing community.

Recent changes include the evolution of the memorials@ home products including jewellery, a variety of urn options, plaques and other home memorials.

RPCV also continue the investment in beautification across its Remembrance Parks, including ongoing investment in reinvigorating lawn areas and further redevelopment of memorial gardens and chapel. As well as the establishment of improved reception facilities and outdoor courtyards consistent with their objectives to establish Remembrance Parks as community parklands.

REVOR and Dora Taggert have been successfully running their floor covering business since 1986. That’s 30 years of establishing a great reputation. “We started off in a farm shed in Woodvale in 1986,” Trevor says, and we did so well we moved into Sandhurst Road in 1988. “Both Dora and I enjoy what we do and get heaps of job satisfaction. We often get letters of thanks from domestic and commercial clients. “The standout feature of our business is that we give a personalised service to our customers. From the moment they walk in the door we take care of them. We have an initial consultation when we find out their requirements; then I go out and do a proper measure. I do the cutting and then we personally load the carpet or vinyl and instruct the

contract installers. We’ve found over the years the best way to make sure a job is done properly is to do it ourselves.” The other aspect to this highly reputable business is the truthful advice that Trevor and Dora give their customers. “We advise people as to what is cost effective for them. The cheapest carpet is not always the best, not if it’s going wear out in a couple of years.” “We also stock over 700 plus rolls of stock and give advice regarding colour and décor,” Trevor says. “Some of our builders aren’t sure what to choose and other customers are actually overseas, so based on their input we help them choose the right floor covering.” Better still for customers, Taggerts currently have a clearance sale.

LAKE Corbett of BC Bathroom Renovations has ten years experience working in the bathroom and kitchen renovation industry. He is a qualified cabinet maker, tiler and water-proofer and highly skilled at his craft. Blake says he absolutely gets satisfaction from his work and enjoys working with his clients. “I strive to create high quality finishes for low budget or high end jobs,” Blake says. “I also enjoy taking the time to plan the renovation with the client and helping them to create their dream kitchen or bathroom.” And if you’re stuck and really don’t know how to transform your old bathroom, kitchen or laundry, Blake will happily create a design for you and suggest fixtures and layout options. Blake went into business for himself 12 months ago and now has a team of tradesmen, including a plumber, electrician and plasterer on call. Once you sign on with Blake he takes on the entire job, so you don’t need to find other tradesmen or materials. “We coordinate and get most jobs done within seven days.” While specialising in bathrooms and kitchens, as a cabinetmaker Blake can do a wide variety of work including laundries, walk-in robes, cabinetwork and carpentry jobs. Blake provides free quotes on small to large renovations.

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

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

A century of expertise in money management FROM one person a century ago to a staff of more than 20 today, SWR has grown, both its staff and finance specialisations. Well known for its expertise in accounting and tax, SWR has been trusted by businesses and families throughout central Victoria to look after their accounting needs, especially at tax time. SWR director Glenn Robertson says as chartered accountants, SWR keep upto-date with all the changes in taxation and financial compliance. “We help farming and business clients of all sizes with taxation planning strategies designed to suit their individual needs,” Glenn said. “Our aim is to ensure all our clients pay the minimum amount of tax while ensuring they meet their obligations. “As well as tax returns, we prepare and lodge BAS statements, assist with any disputes or issues our clients might have with the ATO.” Over the years as SWR has grown, it expanded its service offerings into business advisory and wealth management. Fellow SWR director John Archibald, a Certified Financial Planner, says SWR is now helping clients set up business plans and put systems and processes into place to ensure success.

“Our business services have really taken off, as clients realise we can help grow their business and generate personal independent wealth,” John said. “Along with business planning and development, we are able to help clients buy and sell businesses and prepare for succession. “Achieving the right valuation of their own business and maximising its sale value helps clients ultimately exit their business on their terms.” Wealth management is the natural progression for SWR’s clients in building their personal and business wealth. John’s a superannuation and aged care financial specialist with a passion helping people make the most of their money as they move through life. “It is no secret Australians need to be much more proactive in providing for themselves in their retirement years, particularly when they are accustomed to a desired lifestyle,” he said. “Working with our clients helping to build and protect their wealth over the years, as an accredited self managed super fund advisor, I’m able to offer various strategies to make sure they are well provided for in retirement.” SWR – phone 5441 0999 www.swrfinancialgroup.com.au

Dogs, Dragons square off By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Football League finals race could be all but decided by Saturday evening after a pivotal round 14 of matches is completed. At the Queen Elizabeth Oval, top spot and premiership favouritism are up for grabs when Sandhurst hosts Golden Square and Canterbury Park hosts a clash that almost amounts to an early elimination final when Kyneton plays Eaglehawk. Golden Square has a point to prove against the Dragons after being thoroughly beaten on home turf in round eight by a Sandhurst side that simply outworked and outwilled a Dogs side that was then undefeated. That point will not sit well with Nick Carter and his Bulldogs, and expect them to come out firing on Saturday. A win would see the Dogs steal top spot away from Sandhurst, who currently have a significant per-

centage edge over Square and third placed Strathfieldsaye, all equal on 44 points. The game between Kyneton and Eaglehawk is of equal importance, with the Borough’s slim finals hopes all but hinging on a win over the Tigers. Kyneton was impressive in outmuscling a disappointing Kangaroo Flat last week to take fourth spot, but would be vulnerable to a fast finishing Eaglehawk if the Tigers let Saturday’s game slip. The Tigers sit in fourth with 32 points and a percentage of 127.44 while Flat is next, also with eight wins, with a percentage of 123.8 but an easier run home. Importantly Eaglehawk, a game back in sixth, holds the trump card in terms of percentage with 136.8 following wins over Flat, Maryborough, Strathfieldsaye and Gisborne in its last four outings. Castlemaine is also a mathematical chance to make finals, but being

POINT TO PROVE: Clayton Anderson’s Golden Square faces a big clash against Sandhurst. two games back and close to 50 per cent behind any of the top six sides all but rules them out of any realistic showing.

The magic number for any of the top seven sides is 40 points, or 10 wins, to be confident of a finals berth.

Pios’ finals dream alive

Wet pitches cause fixture chaos SODDEN pitches are causing fixturing headaches for the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League but council says there is little that can be done to alleviate the problem. Eppalock ward council election candidate Yvonne Wrigglesworth claimed that several pitches around the area were unplayable due to poor drainage causing standing water and mud, meaning junior games have to be rescheduled or moved. “For each the past seven weeks, thousands of junior soccer players and their families have had to shift venues at the last minute because of the poor pitch conditions at Bendigo’s three major clubs,” she said. “Pitches at Strathdale and Spring Gully are unplayable, and three of the pitches at the city’s

soccer showcase venue – Epsom – have also been deemed unsuitable for play for the past five weeks.” Senior games were played on both pitches at Spring Gully as recently as last weekend but games in junior grades were washed out and senior games have had to be moved away from Beischer Park. However it is not just a local issue, as games at Kyneton Secondary College have also been washed out. Council’s acting active and healthy communities manager Lincoln Fitzgerald said the ground conditions were due to high recent rainfall as opposed to a lack of maintenance. “This is a real winter, I guess we haven’t had one of those in a few years and we have returned to conditions people aren‘t per-

haps used to,” he said. “With our maintenance program we have essentially done everything we can. We have aerated pitches, cored them and done all sorts of things to get the water off the surface. The thing with this winter has been consistent rain, and a lot of the grounds have got to a point of saturation and we just can’t get the water away.” Football clubs have also felt the pinch, with the Bendigo Thunder and Kangaroo Flat football clubs needing to move training recently due to a sodden Dower Park. Grounds may also face difficulty in being ready for the cricket season if rainfall continues, something council is preparing for along with the Bendigo District Cricket Association.

A CRUCIAL test against North Ballarat awaits the Bendigo Pioneers on Sunday as the club aims to keep its flickering finals hopes alive. Bendigo scored an important 21-point victory over Oakleigh last weekend to keep it in the finals hunt, a game and percentage outside the eight behind the Chargers. Kayle Kirby kicked four goals in the win while Joe Brander and Kobe Mutch returned to a Pioneers group nearing full strength. When they have had their full side on the park the Pioneers have been competitive with the bets the TAC Cup has to offer, and the Rebels are not far off the competition benchmark in Geelong. North Ballarat are fifth on the table at 9-5 and have several Vic Country members including Hugh McGluggage, who kicked five goals when the Rebels thumped Bendigo earlier in the year. That win was based on a dominant third quarter in which Bendigo conceded ten goals to one as the hosts won by 70 points after scores were level at half time. First bounce in Sunday’s game is at 1pm. Meanwhile, the Pioneers have had Kobe Mutch and Joe Atley named to at-

CUP HEADS TO BTA THE Bendigo Tennis Association wil host the prestigious Frank Sedgman Cup this weekend. The event, which features some of Victoria’s best 11 and under athletes, forms a part of Tennis Victoria’s Regional Team Events series. Sixteen teams from across metropolitan Melbourne and country Victoria will take to the William Loud Tennis Complex courts, with each team comprising of two boys and two girls,

Kyneton plays Gisborne after its matchup with Eaglehawk before facing the top three sides in consecutive weeks after that. If the Tigers win two of their last five, they will finish with the all-important 10 wins. Kangaroo Flat should beat winless Maryborough this week and faces Golden Square, Sandhurst and Strathfieldsaye from rounds 15-17 before hosting Castlemaine under lights in its last game. Wins against both Magpies outfits should see the Roos safe, but they are the only team in the top six mix without a win against a topthree team. Eaglehawk would need to defeat Kyneton and then beat at least two of South Bendigo, Castlemaine, Sandhurst and Golden Square, or hope the Tigers or Roos drop an easy game or two, to make finals. Round 14’s other fixtures see Gisborne host Castlemaine and South Bendigo travel to Strathfieldsaye to take on the Storm.

The final quarter

Kendle signing a masterstroke RECRUITING imports hasn’t always gone smoothly for the Bendigo Braves, but the club has struck gold with Jeremy Kendle. As a host of former Braves champions, including perhaps the team’s all-time best player in David Johnson, ready themselves to head to Bendigo Stadium for a past players night on Saturday, this year’s Braves continue to firm as SEABL championship favourites. Bendigo has won its last 10 games, and while the defence of Damian Johnson and the all-round contributions of a loaded Braves roster have been huge, Kendle has been the biggest factor in the team’s rise. The Braves have always recruited big name imports, and have never been afraid to splash considerable cash in a championship quest. Under Ben Harvey’s tenure as coach the club has got close to an elusive national title but always seemed to find another side – often Johnson’s former team Mount Gambier – standing in the way. This year’s team plays the league’s best defence but despite the tangible factors, the biggest difference from previous Braves teams is perhaps best summed up by the great Dennis Denuto: “It’s the vibe of the thing.” Imports always come with a degree of risk, but Bendigo’s duo of Johnson and Kendle are regarded as fantastic team players and hard workers. The presence of Kendle, who is a monty for the league’s MVP award, has catapulted the Braves from also-rans to a side that has already run away with top spot in the SEABL’s east conference. This year’s Braves team is must-see viewing, capable of mesmerising basketball, but Kendle is himself worth the price of admission. He leads the league in scoring, has recorded nine games of at least 30 plus points and is on a phenomenal tear during the Braves’ last ten games that has to have NBL clubs paying attention. During Bendigo’s winning streak he is averaging 29.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. In his last five games he is eviscerating opposition defences: 35.6 points on 54 per cent shooting and 39 per cent from three-point range, as well as 6.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He has led the side to wins in its last three games while Johnson has been sidelined, and with his athleticism and scoring ability he is a force to be reckoned with. To complete the picture, Kendle is an infectiously positive person driven by his faith, an insatiable work ethic and desire to improve himself, and more importantly, his team. Harvey could not have asked for more, and perhaps summed it up best when speaking to the Weekly: “He has just been outstanding the last month. There was one part in the game (against North West Tasmania) when he could have shot the ball and he kicked it to (Chris) Hogan in the corner for a three. One thing about Jeremy, he always plays for the team,” the Braves coach said. The team Kendle plays so fiercely for is a Braves squad that will enter the SEABL playoffs as the title favourite. If they manage that, they - including Kendle, may one day be held in the same regard as some of the legends in the stands on Saturday night. - Joel Peterson Twitter: @joelbpeterson

Club legends in town By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Braves will welcome former players, officials and supporters to Bendigo Stadium this weekend, including some of the biggest names in the club’s vaunted history. The past players function comes after the Braves and Lady Braves enjoyed one of the best weekends of their respective seasons last weekend. The Braves locked up top spot on in the South East Australian Basketball League’s east conference with dual wins while the Lady Braves stayed in the playoff hunt with an upset win over Dandenong before losing to Kilsyth on Sunday. One of the past champions returning to the club is David “DJ” Johnson, regarded as perhaps the most talented player to wear a Braves jersey. The function marks the first time Johnson has returned to Bendigo in almost two decades. Such was his talent when playing for the Braves, some of his records still stand and are

PLAYOFF RUN: The Lady Braves scored an important win last weekend. unlikely to ever be broken. His record of 71 points is unlikely to ever be touched, and he has the next best mark as well with 70 in the 1988 grand final against Bulleen. Johnson also holds the SEABL single season record of 1175 points set in 1990. In 94 games with the Braves

Johnson scored an astonishing 4,491 points, an average of 47.8 per game. To put that into perspective, current Braves star Jeremy Kendle leads the league with 27.5 points per game this season. The Braves won two championships with Johnson, David Flint, Steve Kelly and a host of

other club legends in 1988 and 1990. “During the late 80s and after a bit of success, the Braves were seen as celebrities. Just walking down the street everyone knew your name, in particular DJ,” Kelly said. The function will be held as the Braves and Lady Braves take on Sandringham on Saturday night at Bendigo Stadium. The Sabres are sixth in the south (eight wins, 11 losses) and the Lady Sabres sit in front of only Albury Wodonga in the women’s south conference (4-13). The Braves (18-3) can not be dislodged from top spot but are likely to welcome back Damian Johnson after he sat out last weekend’s double header to further rest an injured ankle. A win for the Lady Braves (8-10) could move them ahead of Ballarat (9-10) in the east playoff race. For that to happen the Rush would have to lose to Dandenong on Sunday. Tip off in the Lady Braves’ clash to open Saturday’s double header is at 6pm.

Miners show fighting spirit THE Bendigo Fighting Miners ended their season on a winning note last Saturday, snapping a 10-game losing streak to defeat Maroondah 24-10. The Miners earned promotion after winning the Victorian Rugby Union division 2B premiership last year, but struggled mightily in the higher grade against some powerful outfits. A week after being thrashed 114-0 by Eltham, the Miners showed enormous resilience to bounce back with a win. Things did not start to plan for Bendigo as Maroondah ran in a try in the seventh minute, before Bendigo found an answer after 20 minutes of time through winger Iliesa Sevudredre and took a 7-5 lead after a Dave McDonald conversion. The game entered a stalemate from that point as neither side could break

through until deep into the second half. As the game looked to be grinding toward a slow halt, the Miners found a burst of energy. With just under 20 minutes to play Bendigo ran in three tries in seven minutes. Powerful lock Misionaire Poto scored the first two before Blake Theeunissen followed up with a third to gift the Miners a 24-5 lead, that with just 12 minutes remaining was as good as unassailable. Maroondah scored a late try and converted the resultant kick but it proved too little, too late as Bendigo hung on to a precious season ending win. Among the best players for Bendigo were loose forwards Matt Boyle and Josephar Maiai, prop Jesse Tuitupou, Theunissen, centres Johneen Fagavao and Phil Keech and five-eighth Josh Manderson.

Woolley fires at worlds By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO clay target shooters Laura Woolley and Emma Cox are the region’s newest world champions after brilliant performances at last week’s International Clay Target Shooting Federation world championships in Ireland. Shooting in the DTL (down the line) discipline, Woolley, a 2015-16 Bendigo Weekly/Prime 7 Bendigo Sports Star of the Year monthly award winner, won the overall title in the Ladies’ event with a score of 889 out of 900. She was also runner up in the DTL overall world junior champion category and along with Cox was part of an Australian ladies team that took out the world ladies championship at Esker Shooting Grounds. Woolley and Cox, who are teammates as well as cousins, were travel partners in the trip to Ireland as well as shooting together in the ladies team. Woolley qualified for the final equal on points with eventual winner Matt Schiller with 747 out of 750, but a disappointing final round saw her finish second overall. Her performance was enough to beat fellow Aussie Tracey Barton in the ladies championship and finish behind Schiller as the second best junior at the event. Woolley was the Bendigo Academy of Sport’s athlete of the year for 2014/15 and is a member of the academy’s clay target shooting program. Woolley has developed immensely in the program under the coaching of Steve Atkins and mentor Glenn Woodhatch. The former Weeroona College student was crowned an Australian champion last year, and will be able to contest the next world title meet on home soil in 2018 when the championships are held in Wagga Wagga. Cox’s teams win caps an outstanding month for the La Trobe University student, after she won gold in an ISSF world cup event in San Marino earlier this month. Her win vaulted her up to eighth in the world trap rankings. In February, Cox was crowned the Bendigo Sports Star Maxine Crouch Trust Fund recipient.
