NO JUSTICE OUT OF ORDER

BY ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO’S outdated courthouse is causing delays of up to three years in processing major crimes. The Bendigo County Court

Courthouse inaction delays cases

hears serious indictable crimes, such as rape, burglary with a weapon and intentionally causing serious injury. Both Court Five, a modern courtroom in the Old Post Office building, and Court One, on top of the Law Courts building next door, hear County Court matters. However, only civil County Court matters are heard in Court

One because of a lack of modern facilities, meaning serious crime matters can only be held in one courtroom. High-profile Bendigo lawyer and former Bendigo Law Association president Megan Aumair said a lack of modern technology, poor acoustics and the unwillingness of police to take prisoners up and down the narrow stairway at the

back of the court made Court One unsuitable for modern law. “Police will only transport prisoners to Court Two and Court Five above the old post office from the laneway at the back of the court due to safety concerns associated with escorting prisoners to any of the other three courts in the building,” she said. “Today, the County Court in

Bendigo continues to hear criminal trials where the original charge was laid in 2008. “This is due to the lack of space available to run more than one criminal circuit at a time.” The Bendigo Weekly first raised the issue of the poor courts facility in 2006, when it highlighted concerns about security, overcrowding, poor disabled access and a lack of privacy in the main courthouse.

THE City of Greater Bendigo council has knocked back the Bendigo Stadium’s application for a planning permit to house 30 more poker machines. Just like the councilblocked application for extra pokies, the permit will likely head to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for the final decision. Which is why Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade said earlier in the week the process up until Wednesday night’s decision was “a joke”. “The process is flawed, and a waste of local government’s time,” he said.

ning permit. Flora Hill Ward councillor Alec Sandner, who said he was putting his personal opinion on pokies aside to allow the permit, contested the origin of those objections. “I don’t see any of the objections with an address in Ironbark. I wonder how strong the

opposition to it is.” Cr Sandner said council had a poor record when it came to pokies, and he had no doubt the Bendigo Stadium would win their case. “The chances are we’d lose again,” he said. “If we don’t pass this resolution it would save the cost of going to VCAT.” However, North West Plains Ward councillor Bruce Phillips said council can’t make the assumption that it would lose “We can’t assume anything,” he said. Cr Phillips said approving the planning permit would send a statement council was not serious about its own policy.

Other issues at the time included Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearings having to beheld in judges’ chambers, the judges themselves mixing with the public before and after decisions were made, and major courts such as the Federal Magistrates’ Court having to sit in surrounding towns because of the unsuitability of the Bendigo building. Police Prosecutor Dave Somerton, lawyers Marika McMahon, Ms Aumair, Gary Quinn, Peter Noble, and Stella Stuthridge campaigned for a new court, as did Magistrate William Gibb and Chief Magistrate Ian Gray. In May, the Weekly revealed previous State Government rejected a plan for the redevelopment of Bendigo’s outdated courthouse. The Bendigo Law Association wants a new court built on the site of the former Advertiser building in Pall Mall. In an exclusive column in the Weekly today, Ms Aumair said it was time the State Government acted. “As it stands today, the Bendigo Court is ill equipped to deal with the volume of cases which come before it and the increasingly complex and time consuming matters which it must deal with,” she said.

Businesses Target 30 Electricity reduction will be new job creator

BY ANTHONY RADFORD

MORE than 1600 jobs could be created and half a billion dollars injected back into the community if Bendigo businesses reduced their electricity use by just 30 per cent. The Bendigo Weekly is joining forces with Central Victoria Solar City to promote the Target 30 campaign during October. From tomorrow, Bendigo businesses of all sizes are being offered discounted Business Energy Assessments. CVSC is looking for 350 businesses to sign up in October, and the benefits could be two-fold. The data collected will be fed to

the Federal Government as part of the development of energy policy. However, CVSC Renewable Communities program manager Sonny Neale said highlighting areas where electricity use could be reduced could save businesses money. “Businesses who have participated in the trial so far have identified savings equivalent to 30 per cent of their energy bills, with an average payback of less than 12 months,� he said. Mr Neale said the savings also had a community-wide benefit.

“The benefit of retained savings to the community, achieved through the business’ increased

energy efficiency can be substantial,� he said. “Over 10 years, the economic benefit of reinvesting 30 per cent of the money otherwise spent on buying energy from overseas companies equates to about half a billion dollars in the Bendigo region alone. “This would create 1600 new jobs for local people, based on La Trobe University’s Remplan modelling.� A number of Bendigo businesses have already signed up to the assessments, and the Weekly

will be speaking to them throughout October. The program is also supported by the City of Greater Bendigo, the Bendigo Sustainability Group, the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Bendigo Business Council.

Riders back a worthy cause

ON PARADE: Deb Beazley, Peter Gallivan and Haylee Kennedy are organising a fundraiser.

Roll your sleeves up and raise cash to help

THE Boundary Riders are using their monthly club ride this Sunday to raise money for Tiffany Murray, a brave mother battling cancer. The riders will leave the Boundary Hotel, Milroy Street, at 10am with all motor bikes welcome. For the cost of just $5, you can support a brave woman going through her own painful journey. Contact Mick D’Arcy on 0409 333 440 for details.

YOU can sit back and do nothing. Or you can have a go. And when you are helping someone along the way, there is even more reason to roll your sleeves up. “We wanted to have a fashion parade,� Haylee Kennedy of Stryde shoe store in Killian’s Walk said. “Then we thought, why don’t we get some of the traders from Killian’s Walk and Centreway together. “It’s a perfect opportunity to raise some money for those families in need.� Fashion for Com-

passion, which will be held in the arcades on Thursday October 6, from 6pm to 8pm, will raise money to assist Tiffany Murray in her fight against brain tumour, and Dakota Duke, who suffered a stroke after a knock on the football field. “Bendigo is a great place for helping people,“ Haylee said. “You think about what it must be like, trying to support your loved ones when something happens. “We were going to have just a small fashion parade, but everyone has been fantastic, donating

things to make the event work.� Haylee said Fashion for Compassion has also brought out the positive spirit in the CBD traders who have been doing it tough. “This could be the first of a regular fashion parade for the arcade, if we can make a go of it,� she said. Entry will be by donation, and stores which remain open on the evening will also contribute to the fund-raising for Tiffany and Dakota. “Please find it in your hearts to support this wonderful event,� Haylee said.

Wireless the way

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGONIANS are connecting to the internet via their wireless devices in astonishing numbers. With smart phones, tablets and wireless internet connection technology taking off, locals are going along for the ride. Data used by locals through Telstra’s 3G network has doubled this year, compared to last year. Telstra Country Wide Central Victoria area general manager Ray Pratt said the growth was expected to increase. “We expect the data delivery will be greater next year than for the entire period from 2006 to 2011,” he said. About 70 per cent of the traffic is from laptops connected to wireless internet via dongles.

WIRED: Wireless data use is on the increase. The rest is smart phones and tablets. The data figures point to a dramatic increase in the amount of CBD workers accessing their

wireless internet service, either in their businesses or at coffee shops and public areas. “We have experienced a significant increase in the CBD of

Rains prompts release

Bendigo,” Mr Pratt said. “We have listened to customer feedback and upgraded the capacity of the existing 3G network. “As of now, data speed is much better than it has been.” That looks set to continue with the imminent roll-out of Telstra’s 4G network. The network was launched this week, and is expected to be available locally by the end of the year. Testing by the Bendigo Weekly this week showed data speed on a smart phone varied from just under six megabits per second in the CBD, to .61 mb/s in parts of Strathdale. The 4G network is expected to deliver speeds up to 42 mb/s. “It will be a lot faster than most home ADSL connections,” Mr Pratt said.

showed storage at Lake Eppalock at 97.78 per cent, 3,200 ML down on last week, because of the controlled release. This time last year, before record rainfall in late spring and early summer, Lake Eppalock was at almost 300,000ML or 65 per cent of capacity. Dr Bailey said G-M Water does not expect a repeat of the rain events which caused the damaging floods in places such as Rochester.

“The January flooding in Rochester was unfortunate but there wasn’t much we could have done given the nature of the system,” he said. “Looking over history, that event was 10 times larger than anything that has happened in January.” Falls of between 5mm and 15 mm are predicted for the next two days. Dr Bailey said the flood events last summer have pointed to the

need for better communications between the responsible agencies. “Work undertaken in the past by the Rural Water Commission is now shared between the various agencies (the water authority, the Bureau of Meteorology and the SES). “We were comfortable with our preparation but we know that the format in which information is provided needs to be easier for our colleagues to observe or digest.”

THEFT from motor vehicles in Bendigo has dropped 17 per cent since this time last year, but residents can be doing more to cut the figure even further. Bendigo Police Senior Sergeant Craig Gaffee said locals were making themselves easy targets by failing to lock their cars. “It’s the easiest kind of theft,” he said. Snr Sgt Gaffee said there had been 121 thefts from vehicles since June, with half of that number being cars parked in residential driveways. “50 per cent of those cars were left unlocked,” he said. “People seem to think if they park their car in their driveway it is safe, but it’s not the case.”

BENDIGO Police Senior Sergeant Craig Gaffee expects a busy month on the streets of Bendigo over the next month with football trips “We’ll be using no extra staff but we’re expecting to be a bit busier over the next five or six weeks,” he said. Snr Sgt Gaffee congratulated Bendigo football supporters for an incident free Bendigo Football League grand final last weekend. “We usually have to throw out a couple of patrons for a various reasons, but there were no problems at the game or after,” he said. “Saturday night was quiet.” He said pubs and clubs were dealing with drunks more effectively, a low-tolerance approach from police and the new chill out space had helped create a safer environment after dark in Bendigo.

WITH Lake Eppalock at 98.47 per cent earlier this week, Goulburn Murray Water upped the release of water to maximum in preparation for the heavy rains which swept across the region on Wednesday. “We started releasing water at a rate of 1000 megalitres a day this week, and we increased that

today to the maximum which is 2000ML,” Goulburn-Murray Water acting resource manager Mark Bailey said on Tuesday. “We’ve got 5000ML airspace before the storage is full and water goes over the spillway, so we’ll monitor that in the next 24 hours,” he said. Figures released yesterday

Twenty-year resident says hospital development leaves him no choice

Units ‘force’ man to move By BEN CAMERON

AN Arnold Street resident of 20 years has been “forced” into selling his house after learning the new $25million Bendigo Health accommodation complex would be built behind his property. With the complex due to begin construction later this year, the resident, who does not want to be named, said he had not option but to sell up. “Until I found out about this new complex, I had absolutely no intention of selling,” he said. “We will sell... it’s an eyesore on our back doorstep, it’s intrusive.” However the resident said a private valuer had told him the new complex would greatly reduce his ability to sell. “I’ve been told it’s more of a development property now, it’s no longer a home site,” he said.

After attending a public information session the night before it was announced, he learnt a building would be built six metres away from his back fence. “They said it would be minimal impact,” he said. “(But) one of the buildings is 11 metres high. Looking at land levels between our place and where they’re starting from, there’s about six feet difference. “So it’s nearly level with our fence before they start building it. “We’re talking humungous.”

Who’s going to want to buy our properties? NEW SITE: Michael Langdon, David Walker, Michael Emery, John Mulder and Rim Martin at the location of the proposed units. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN “I don’t want to live behind it... I’ve already said to them (the building consortium) to make us an offer.”

Pub no fix for crisis accommodation By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

PLANS to turn old pubs into low-rent week-byweek accommodation are not going to help the urgent need for crisis accommodation, according to the head of a Bendigo support agency. “To create a concentration of crisis accommodation can be problematic,” Bendigo’s Emergency Accommodation and Support Enterprise (EASE) chief executive officer Margaret Augurenos said. “That type of scenario is not the best option for women with children who have suffered a traumatic event and need to go somewhere where they feel anonymous and safe.”

Ms Augurenos attended a meeting convened by local Labor State Members Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards this week. The meeting addressed recent figures showing reporting of

“We have women going back into unsafe situations” family violence incidents in Bendigo has almost doubled in the past four years. Ms Allan and Ms Edwards said they would work with local agencies to put family violence back on the agenda. “We are concerned at the leadership level in

happens in the family should stay in the family. “But talking about it and bringing it into the open is the only way to challenge people’s views.” Hotelier and businessman Ivar Hunt last week revealed plans for renovations to the Vic

Hotel in Eaglehawk’s main street which included 28 rooms to rent to homeless people. Representatives from VicHealth and Women’s Health Loddon Mallee who attended the meeting this week welcomed the plan as a stop-gap measure but agreed it would do nothing for the increasing need for “safe houses” in Bendigo. “Because of the lack of crisis housing, we have women going back into unsafe situations,” Ms Allan said. “They need to be provided with whatever they need, but we have heard today that the agencies struggle to find them anywhere to go.”

AT WHAT COST?

Back to square one By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

CITY of Greater Bendigo council has gone back to the drawing board, again, on the vexed issue of the Hargreaves Mall playground. Combining a school holiday program of “fun games and activities” with an opportunity to canvas people for their opinions, council will spend three days in the mall to “gain further insight into what type of play equipment or activities children would like to see in the Hargreaves Mall in the future.” The playground as part of the mall upgrade first put forward in 2003. When work began in 2007, the project was budgeted at $4.7 million. When most of the work was completed last year, the cost had blown out to $7.7m. According to council chief executive officer Craig Neimann, the playground was to be in place by June 30 this year. However, objections by the Bendigo Traders Association to several options put forward by council caused a further delay. City of Greater Bendigo Community Wellbeing director Pauline Gordon said the Family Fun and Games days are a fact-finding mission. “We are looking forward to

to using this as an opportunity to listen to the community, from our smallest children to our older adults, to gain their views about how we can make the mall a place they want to visit often,” Ms Gordon said. “We are particularly interested to find out what type of activities or play spaces would influence their decision to come to the mall,” she said. In July this year, Ms Gordon told the Bendigo Weekly the first playground option – a maze – had been a “quick attempt”. She said at that time she had received council approval to organise a community consultation during the September school holidays. “We need to take the time to get it right”, Ms Gordon said. Entertainment for children will take place in the mall between 10 am and 2pm on October 4, 5 and 6. Ms Gordon said surveys will also be carried out at other community events and are available online at the council’s website. Information will be collated by council staff by December, when another plan for fixing the mall will be presented to council.

Rumble over cracked road tiles THE clickety-clack as cars drive over the loose tiles in front of the Town Hall is not an arty soundscape designed to enhance the happy play of water from the little fountains. It’s a sign that all is not well. “Some of the tiles are a bit loose and they get cracked and broken,” City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said this week. “It is safe, but we are monitoring it.” The plaza at the end of Bull Street was redesigned two years ago as part of the Walk Bendigo strategy. “Repeated failures” in the construction of the new space will necessitate a new plan for the area. Mr Fuzzard said, however, the strategy’s aims are being met. “The objective was to

BROKEN DREAM: The tiles are cracking. make traffic slow down, and hesitate, without putting up signs,” Mr Fuzzard said. “I think that’s working.” The problem tiles are laid on a mortar mix, over a concrete slab. The problem is that the weight of traffic grinds the tiles into the mortar, which cracks them.

“We’re trying to find a mortar mix that can stand up to it,” Mr Fuzzard said. “Where we are at is, we don’t want to close it, because we know how much that disrupts things. “There are a lot of different products but I have to say finding one that can stand up to that

site is difficult.” Mr Fuzzard said the little fountains, also designed to slow traffic in the “negotiated space”, have also caused some “operational problems”. “The fountains become problems after rain,” he said. “Water goes down and washes dirt, rocks and sticks into the sump holes and that clogs the system. “We have twiceweekly checks to make sure they are working, but we are sensible to what happens with the weather.” Complaints from nearby retailers that wind was causing the fountains to spray water on pedestrians has changed council policy on when the fountains will be switched on. They are trialling a schedule where they are turned on from 6pm to midnight.

“We have the space, and it would be good to have stalls, and music and other activities here. “We need this, we need to do something, because the mall is dying.” Mr Gray said he has approached the Community Farmers’ Markets, which are held on the second Saturday each month at the Rosalind Park end of Bull Street. Although the markets are pushed for space, organisers said they are not planning to extend. Mr Tuddenham runs the kitchen

He said he has a “solid plan” but needs help to put it into action. “We need council to give us a hand, someone who knows the ins and outs,” he said. A successful “Kids Market Central Vic” was held in Rochester earlier this year, with stalls of clothes and toys, but Mr Tuddenham said he has not heard of a food market aimed at children. “It would be a first.”

Market to focus on children A BENDIGO chef is hoping to capitalise on the city’s “child-friendly” status by putting a kids’ market into the ailing mall. “We think it could be a viable option, and something we’ve been trying to get up and running,” Brendan Tuddenham said this week. “We want to make it like a farmers’ market, but with interactive things for kids to do. “We will encourage producers to come along with animals, for example, and the idea is for kids to see where the good comes from. “We want it so the kids can be educated, but in a fun manner.” Mr Tuddenham responded to a call from proprietor of Toasties in the Hargreaves Mall, Steve Gray, for people interested in forming a committee to look at starting up a Saturday market in the mall. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not interested in going against the Community Farmers’ Market, but we think we could build on what they do and extend it into the mall,” Mr Gray said.

Feeling the results BENDIGO’S Biggest Winner entrant Sharon Bonazza is excited at the results she’s achieving and how she feels, four weeks into her healthy lifestyle challenge. Sharon, who works as a Senior Test Analyst in IT department for Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, and is part of that organisation’s 15-strong team, said she hasn’t lost enthusiasm because she is seeing results. “I am interested in the part willpower plays in weight loss and eating healthily, so I took up the offer of being part of a research study by Ann Lansbury, of Bendigo, two weeks before the challenge started,� she said. “She had me keep a journal about decisions I was making about what I was eating.� “Her input showed me we have the ability to change our thinking by refocusing. “I missed the talk by Julie Lake (from Julie Lake Healing and Coaching) but found her tips emailed out later very useful.� Sharon has an exercise routine geared to suit some old injuries, and said she has virtually given up wine

Call for courthouse change goes unanswered

Justice delayed by lack of action BENDIGO desperately needs a new courthouse. The current building, while beautiful, is unsuitable and unsafe for modern law. In the next installment of a series looking at all areas of law, MEGAN AUMAIR, a law-

OUT OF ORDER

yer with Stuthridge Legal, looks at why the current courthouse is unsuitable for criminal law. She paints a picture of “appalling� security, overcrowding and delays in justice.

IN any given week I appear to represent clients at the Bendigo Court in Children’s Court Criminal and Family division (DHS) matters, in Magistrates’ Court criminal, crimes family violence and stalking matters, and in County Court appeals and plea hearings. On a busy day there can be in excess of 100 matters listed. Not all of the matters are heard by a magistrate on the one day but a large proportion are. They involve varying degrees of complexity and can demand a considerable amount of time. My clients come from a diverse cross section of the community. Some

Security is appalling. Other than the police ... who sit in court, there is no security presence have mental illnesses, others are intellectually disabled, many have substance abuse issues. All are anxious and distressed by the circumstances which have brought them to court either as an accused person in a criminal matter, as a parent whose children have been taken from them by DHS, or as a victim or perpetrator of family violence. Clients in custody just want to get out. All want their matters dealt with quickly so they can try and get on with their lives. As it stands today, the Bendigo Court is ill equipped to deal with the volume of cases which come before it and the increasingly complex and time consuming matters which it must deal with. Security is appalling. Other than the police

members who sit in court, there is no security presence around the complex itself nor is their regular security checks at the only entrance to the court. Magistrates walk through crowds of people from their chambers to two of the courtrooms, some of whom they have passed sentence on. Others are parents who the Magistrate has decided will not have their children returned to their care. The acoustics in the main Court Two are unsatisfactory. Magistrates struggle to hear police summaries and defence submissions. Clients struggle to hear and understand what is going on. There are no holding cells at the court. Prisoners are kept at the police station in Golden Square

until the court is ready to hear the matter. This causes delays and frustration for all concerned. Community Corrections assessments for clients in custody create further delays due to the need to return the prisoner to the police station for the assessment and returned later in the day. Police will only transport prisoners to Court Two and Court Five above the old post office from the laneway at the back of the court due to safety concerns associated with escorting prisoners to any

COURT IN THE ACT: Criminal matters are no longer heard in Court One. of the other three courts in the building. Today, the County Court in Bendigo continues to hear criminal trials where the original charge was laid in 2008. This is due to the lack space available to run more than one criminal circuit at a time. Surely it is time the government paid attention to these and other concerns raised by users of the Bendigo court and committed to building a new purpose-built court complex to adequately cater for the needs of this growing regional centre.

Ben Jones and

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO, and here in grand final week I have Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford. Radders, good morning. With some heavy rain on the way I notice water authorities have started releasing water from storages, including at Lake Eppalock. Anthony – Yes, good morning Jonesy. Goulburn Murray Water is looking to release about 5000 megalitres from Eppalock over the next few days to cater for the inflows expected from the heavy rain. This is a change in policy of sort for GMW and is a good one, given it will work towards protecting towns like Rochester from large floods in the future. Ben – Let’s move onto another topic. Pokies are always controversial, and it is being discussed at council tonight. Anthony – A few weeks ago the council opposed Bendigo Stadium’s plans to bring in 30 more poker machines out there, and lost. Tonight it is the planning side of it, where council has to give approval, and it looks like it will again reject it. That means the whole thing will go to appeal at VCAT and council will probably lose. This has forced Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade to label the whole process a joke, and I think he is right. Ben – Cr Reade does make a very valid point. Bendigo is currently home to 514 machines, yet it is allowed, according to the government, to have a cap of 700 machines. Is that something that should be looked at? Anthony – That’s what the council wants, to cap it at current levels. Other councils have tried to do that and failed, so I don’t think Bendigo will have much chance of getting anywhere with that one. It is a scary thought that we could be looking at about $60 million lost through pokies if the cap is reached. It’s a real concern this one. Ben – I think people have enough access to them and we don’t need anymore. Parking fines is our next topic, you have come across some fascinating information. Anthony – Yes Ben, listeners can go to our website, www.bendigoweekly.com.au, to read an amazing story about car parking discrimination in the CBD.

Tell us your thoughts ... email feedback@bendigoweekly.com.au

Government is committed to VCAL THE Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, known as VCAL was introduced in 2003. VCAL provides young Victorians an alternative to the VCE, giving them an alternative pathway to employment, further education and training. Today, more than 18,000 Victorian students are undertaking VCAL. The Victorian Coalition Government supports this innovative education program. Funding supporting students undertaking VCAL has increased year on year as enrolments grow. In fact, this year, education funding supporting VCAL students in government schools will increase once more to accommodate a more than 8.5 per cent growth in student numbers, and we expect this growth to continue in future years. However, recognising the maturity and wide adoption of the VCAL program across Victorian schools, the Government has ceased a coordination payment provided in the early years of the program to assist in the start up of programs and the development of new materials. These changes bring VCAL in line with the VCE and VET in schools, where there is no specific coordination funding. The Victorian Coalition Government is committed to the provision of a world-class education and training system, of which VCAL is an important component. The government has demonstrated its commitment to education through its 2011/12 State Budget, which is providing more than $1billion in new funding to early childhood, school education and tertiary education and training. Education Minister, Martin Dixon MP

of homosexual marriage have allowed their fertile imaginations and biased thought processes to turn sound arguments against the proposal they support into fear driven hysteria and hate speech. I feel for those people desperate to increase their political profile only to realise that their views are not universally shared. Despite claims of national support for homosexuals to marry there appears to be a large number of people opposed to changing the marriage act. Using the poisonous vitriol these people seem to prefer when attacking those opposing their views suggests they have difficulty accepting that others too have a point of view and are entitled to have it heard. The claim that changing the Marriage Act with the stroke of the pen will remove harassment, reduce youth suicide and solve everything in between is just plain ideological nonsense. The claim that the current wording of the Act is a licence to hate suggests

that all people currently married are habitual haters of homosexuals. This is an insult and all married couples should receive an apology Supporters of the proposal should put their writing skills to good use and lobby members of parliament to ensure a plebiscite is held on this issue. Let the people decide, and let’s stop this acrimonious debate that can only create more harassment and bigotry within the community. David Arscott, Kangaroo Flat

Lack of support I WAS very concerned to read that the Victorian Liberal National Government had again failed to match Labor’s support for a new Children’s Centre for Strathfieldsaye families. Last November, Labor committed $1million to build a new Children’s Centre in Strathfieldsaye in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo. This much needed fa-

cility was identified as a priority by local families in a community survey I conducted last year. Back then, the Liberal National Coalition failed to support a new Centre for Strathfieldsaye. It is of great concern that the Minister for Early Childhood Development has failed to indicate her or her Government’s support for a new Centre, and pulled out the old ‘blame the Federal government’ line of defence. This is a much needed Centre for a growing community with many young families which is why I worked hard to secure a commitment of $1million. If the Victorian Liberal National Government wanted to it could commit to matching this funding for a new Children’s Centre today. I will continue to support a new Children’s Centre for Strathfieldsaye and work to secure a commitment and funds from the Government. Jacinta Allan MP, Member for Bendigo East

A lost opportunity IT’S pretty clear now we’ve moved on. What’s the point? They won’t listen to us anyway. As soon as there is a spill-over or electoral upset nothing seems to change. We’ve pretty much given up our right over council decisions regarding the future of our wonderful city. Seems most folk don’t give two hoots nowadays. I’m surprised I’m even penning a response. Why should we bother with any input on council decisions? Seems we’re all just happy to plod along with whatever council says is best for our community. When I think of the Bendigo City Council I think of a mayor who seems to be great for publicity shots, but for most of the rest of the council clan, autocracy and absolutism are a couple of words that spring to mind. But maybe I’m wrong? What do I know? Nick C, Bendigo

PETER KENNEDY

Is celebrity deserved? WHAT is celebrity? What defines a celebrity? That’s the question I was left asking myself after the Brownlow Medal on Monday night, and when I think about it, many other functions before it. A couple of weeks ago this column questioned the manner in which our news has fallen victim to trivialisation within our modern society. A so-called celebrity only has to flash a bit of flesh or put on a hat and it’s enough to snare a headline. The fact that this “celebrity� is famous for sometimes nothing more than being one half of a sex tape, or married to a disgraced former medico, does not seem to matter. On Monday night the cameras could not get enough of the ingratiatingly annoying Brynne Edelsten, a woman famous for nothing more (or less) than being married to the aforementioned disgraced former medico Geoffrey Edelsten. Apparently, Brynne, who is also famous for being absolutely ridiculed on a certain dancing show earlier this year, is viewed as a celebrity. Why? Who knows. But then again, let’s not forget Mr

_QV

and Mrs Edelsten did also pay to import other celebrities in the form of actors Jason Alexander and Fran Drescher to attend their recent wedding. Wikipedia defines a celebrity as one who has a prominent profile in the media and is easily recognised. Some careers are associated with celebrity status, such as the top tier of the modelling, acting and sports industries.

Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd are arguably our most famous pollies. But would anyone describe them as being celebrities? Not likely, although each of them would stop at nothing to either be viewed as a celebrity or to be photographed next to one. Meanwhile, back in the real world, many of those who deserve celebrity status and acclaim for all the good they do, continue to do what they do without much fanfare, thanks or fuss. pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

“If you have the money and crave the fame, then it’s all yours. � While people may gain celebrity status as a result of a successful career, in other cases, people become celebrities due to media attention for their extravagant lifestyle or wealth. In other words, if you have the money and crave the fame, then it’s all yours. For better or for worse. Hence some celebrities have become their own brands in the modern-day world where money talks and fame (or infamy) has currency.

On March 8, 2007, council listed the mall redevelopment on its federal government wish list. No money was ever forthcoming. On September 20, 2007, council awarded a $4.7 million contract to Delta Group to build the new mall, a cost that blew out to $7.7 million. It was expected to open in November, 2008. In February 2008, plans for a $500,000, 100-metre long play sculpture were released to replace the popular children’s playground. The sculpture was a series of yellow concrete humps. Locals responded to the new play sculpture with terms such as “an artistic disaster�, “a concrete irrigation pipe cut up into buckled sections that looks like half-buried rubbish found out in the bush�. Sales in mall stores began to drop.

Editorial Comment

On August 1, 2008, images of an “exciting new and adventurous� play sculpture for the mall went on display. The council’s third attempt to replace the demolished playground featured synthetic grass carpet mounds, stainless steel sheeting pods and boats and stainless steel tubing and mesh installations that resembled trees and leaves. On July 24, 2009, council revealed it had scrapped its third playground plan for the mall. Instead, it began looking for something more practical. The mall opened in May 2010, without a playground. In April 2011, the Bendigo Weekly revealed the plans for a new playground in the mall, a series of small walls with interactive features. The traders weren’t happy, instead pushing for a more traditional type of playground with a slide. In July this year, council announced it would go back and consult with traders and children about what they wanted. That consultation starts next week. What more can we say.

3009

PLANNING for the redevelopment of the Hargreaves Mall began in 2003. Back then, the council and traders thought the mall was looking dated, and needed a face lift. Planning took place, and construction was supposed to start in 2004. It wasn’t until April 24, 2006 that the council unveiled new plans. Those plans included a “sophisticated new covered canopy inspired by local forests that changes colour at night, protects shoppers from bad weather and was set to become a major new icon for the city�. Council listed the new mall redevelopment on top of its state election wish list in June 2006, and in October it unveiled its second, more modern, plan for the redevelopment. It included a red, knee-high play sculpture running down the middle of the Williamson Street end. On December 1, 2006, the thengovernment rejected the council’s funding request for the new mall. Local MP Bob Cameron said: �We weren’t impressed. We weren’t taken with it.�

AFL GRAND FINAL 2011

“Up to 2015, under any plausible scenario, power prices will double”

AN AFL Grand Final brings out the best, and worst, in people, and Saturday’s clash between Geelong and Collingwood will be no different. With greatness up for grabs, BEN CAMERON spoke to six Bendigonians with either blue and white, or white and black, in their blood.

Paul Simhauser, AGL chief economist (quoted in Australian Financial Review, 8 Feb 2011)

THEY both serve the citizens of Bendigo, but on Saturday City of Greater Bendigo councillor Lisa Ruffell and council manager of Children and Family Services Rosalie Rogers will be supporting entirely different causes. Rosalie Rogers: THE ice cool Rosalie has been supporting the Cats since primary school, and is extremely confident about Saturday. “I never get nervous before the match as I know Geelong will whip the pants off Collingwood,” she laughed.

MEANWHILE Cr Lisa Ruffell has been a Collingwood fan since she was a little girl when her father took her to the MCG. “He played a few games with Collingwood so I had to barrack for them I guess,” she laughs.

Lisa is confident Dane Swan’s Brownlow victory, and it being Mick Malthouse’s last hurrah, will be enough inspiration for the Pies to win.

THEY once ran against each other in politics, but now Peter Kennedy and Damian Drum are now chasing a different kind of bragging rights.

Damian reckons they’re the only team that can match the Pies. “I think the Cats are the only team that can handle Collingwood’s extreme pressure and I am hoping that their experience under pressure will enable them to get the points,” he said. Drummy’s decision: Cats by 15 points.

AFL GRAND FINAL 2011 RADIO WARS THEY might be radio buddies, but come Saturday afternoon, 3BO’s Ben Jones, a Pies man, and Cat Shaun Makepeace, will be staunch enemies. Shaun Makepeace: “I’VE supported the Cats for as long as I can remember and even more so after playing on what was then Kardinia Park as an 11-year-old Auskicker,” he said. “I remember getting high fives from players like Mark Bairstow, Garry Ablett senior, Billy Brownless and Paul Couch.” Shaun said he’s not as nervous as 2007, when the Cats were trying to end a 44-year hoodoo. “I had never seen Geelong win a premiership until then,“ he said. “We have been successful in recent years and I’ve enjoyed that. To beat Collingwood would be unforgettable though.” Shaun will spend the day with a barbecue with some old friends, but he’s disappointed Jones won’t

Peter Kennedy: PETER’S love for the black and white goes back to 1988, when he first met his wife in Brisbane. “I’m not a Victorian by birth, but Jenni’s family are all proud and passionate Collingwood supporters – is there any other type?” he said. “And it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

lead up to the match, compared to last year. “Last year I was actually at Shaun’s house for the grand final and he will tell you I was a nervous wreck,” he said. “And I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when the first game finished in a draw!” Ben was born a Magpie. “I always tell the story that I was given an ultimatum from a very early age, the old man telling me the choice was simple: support the Pies, and remain a much loved member of the family, or support someone else, and start looking for a job, an alternative mode of transport and a new place to live,” he laughed. “Pretty confronting stuff for a five-year-old.” Ben will spend the day in Sydney on a footy trip “I’ll be either carrying on like a pork chop if the Pies are going well, or have my head in my hands struggling to watch if it’s close,” he said. Ben’s blessing: Pies by seven points.

ple’s junk. I fit into the lifestyle block category. You can read into this that the farmer thinks: “Here comes a mug from Melbourne, I’ll carve off my worst 40 hectares and sell it full of weeds.” One recent block had five types of noxious weeds I could identify. No grass.

Needless to say, it didn’t take my fancy The sales agent just agreed, saying one person viewing had liked the pretty mauve flowers. This flower is better known as Paterson’s Curse (Echium plantagineum) and is toxic to most grazing animals. Kind of rules out the idea of a few cattle and sheep.

That and lack of a fence on the road boundary made this out of the question. One game real estate agent showed me a “farmhouse in original condition” recently. Luckily the longsuffering Mrs Kendall had the happy retort: “Is petrol included?” This same property offered a sandstone cellar under the original sandstone building. I’d already decided the place was not for me, but looked anyway. The cellar was full to ground level with water. Not

a puddle, but a pool. Needless to say, it didn’t take my fancy. One property we looked as was lived in by a single man. As we entered, the real estate salesmen mentioned it needed minor improvements, quick as a flash Mrs K suggested a match. Her return to the allcleansing idea of fire could have been prompted by the pair of dirty jocks on the bedroom floor. The real estate agents who know Mrs K best don’t give her the soft sell ap-

proach. They say it how it is. Her honesty has me cringing in embarrassment on house visits. I walk from room to room waiting for the next comment. Perhaps our most outstanding visit to a property was one of omission rather than exaggeration. The house was fine, if a little tatty, the vintage buildings were fixable, the new shed was large and very useful and there was electricity to all buildings. The real estate agent had

forgotten to mention the high tension electricity pylons stepping across the land. One-hundred metre high monoliths carrying 22,000 volts within metres of the shed. “Is that buzzing the pylons?” Mrs K asked. “No, No,” the agent replied. “It’s the shed lights.” As we left the building we turned off the lights, the buzzing, of course, continued, bringing a whole new meaning to power on the property. Meanwhile, my search continues...

IN popularity surveys of those most trusted, journalists are pretty much near the bottom of the pile. They alternate with the real estate agents and car dealers for the top position in the most hated list by the general public. Considering I work with, work for and am advertised with by a fair few of the people in these categories I feel I have to tread carefully in the next 500 or so words. Cars are always highly sought after if you are buying them, or not in much demand if you are selling. It’s the way of the world. If a journo phones you, there’s no story if all is going well, he or she wants to find the ‘angle’ which will excite the reader, and real estate agents... well they fit into a world of their own. To be fair vendors seem to have an unrealistic view of the beauty of their home. The value can raise by $100,000 if you can see a glimpse of a mountain or the ocean. Believe me, I reckon I am a bit of an expert in the property hunting field. Been seriously looking for years. I just won’t part with the hard earned for other peo-

Young and old remember fallen police HUNDREDS of people from across generations paid their respects to fallen police at the annual National Police Remembrance Day service at the

Bendigo Town Hall yesterday. Current and former police officers and their families mingled with students from local primary and secondary

schools to honour the 10 police officers who died in the past year. Bendigo Police Inspector Wayne Barclay read out

the names of those fallen in the past year and locals laid wreaths of remembrance. More photos at www.bendigophotos.com

VETERANS’ issues were on the mind of Liberal Party Patron Senator Micheal Ronaldson during a trip to Bendigo this week. Senator Ronaldson, who is also the Shadow Veterans’ Affairs Minister, held a veterans’ forum as part of a nationwide program to gauge views. “I met with veterans, grass-roots advocates and welfare officers to gain first-hand ideas for possible inclusion in future Coalition veterans’

policy,” he said. “These veterans’ forums are an opportunity for those with an interest in veterans’ policy to have their say on future directions in Coalition policy ahead of the next election. “Almost 3000 DVA clients live in the Bendigo electorate. This region also remains an important part of Australia’s defence industry establishment with the life-saving Bushmaster vehicles being built by Thales in Bendigo.”

China connection

FINE VINE: Wes Vine with his product.

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

WINEMAKER Wes Vine is fast becoming something of a China expert. Although he had not ever thought of travelling there just a few years ago, when he visited Nanjing on a trade mission organised by the Victorian government in 2008, it was the beginning of what has become a massive part of his Mandurang Valley wine business. Next month, Wes will head off to Nanjing for his eighth visit. At the same time a big order of his red wines heads north too: not just in bottles we normally associate with a table cab sav, but in double magnums, imperial (six litre) and salmanazar (nine litre) bottles. Apparently, the Chinese

BREASTSCREEN BENDIGO has received funding to offer free Pap screens at the same time as their breast screening, during October. Community liaison officer Kathryn Sheridan said the service will pilot throughout the month, with plans to continue it next year if the take-up is successful. In the Loddon Mallee region, 60 per cent of women participate in Pap screening for cervical cancer, with slightly more having regular breast screens. For an appointment for the combined service, call 5441 6850. Breastscreen only, call 132050.

Anume C l i n i c

have discovered a taste for Australian reds, and presentationsize bottles are all the rage. Mandurang Valley has been working flat out to fill, seal, label and package 1100 double magnums, 600 imperials and a dozen of the mighty salmanazars. “We had exported a little to China before the trade visit,” Wes said. “But I didn’t expect the business in China to increase this much this quickly.” Wes is also assisting the Chinese vineyard development. Jiangsu province has a climate similar to the Hunter Valley, he said. While he is not expecting the vintage to be as regular as it is in that part of New South Wales, there is every chance the region will develop into a good winemaking area.

He has become something of a Chinaphile in recent years, lured by the hospitality and generosity of the people. Mandurang Valley is well known for their own hospitality and puts on a very fine table for visitors. He does not, however, plan to bring back any recipes to try out in his own kitchen. “I really like the food, but I think it would take a bit much to try to put it on our own menu,” he said.

Think you missed the SOLAR boat?

THE English-speaking world’s most famous literary prize, the Man Booker, is announced next month. Judges have been influenced by the “I hope you choose something readable this year” complaints, and gone for a shortlist that is more accessible. According to sales figures, the six books on the shortlist have sold 37,500 copies between them, since the shortlist was announced earlier this month. Julian Barnes’s The Sense of an Ending is tipped to take

ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH is back in Australia this week, as part of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House. The writer who took a very long time to come to the attention of the wider reading public but then bolted to international stardom on the back of his No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency books, let rip this week with a denunciation of contemporary media-culture. “We have created a strange culture perpetuated by television and other media that rejoices in and celebrates dysfunction, violence and anti-social behaviour,” McCall Smith said.

Principal Andrew Harvey says Hague is not a “vanity press”, and that they are open to submissions from new and established authors interested in “the emerging ebook market”. ANITA Heiss has won the Deadly Award for outstanding achievement in literature for her novel Paris Dreaming, published by Bantam. The Deadly Awards began as indigenous music prizes but now include literature and community work. BRITISH publisher Bloomsbury has launched a digital imprint of out-ofprint classic titles, to keep neglected works by important but lesser known writers, such as Edith Sitwell, VS Pritchett, Hilaire Belloc and Ivy Compton-Burnett (who wrote The Secret Garden) in “print”, at a relatively low cost.

ABOVE the door leading from the Military Museum’s entry hall down a short corridor to where World War 1 memorabilia from the prized Grinton collection is now housed in display cabinets, is a painting. Delicately rendered in oils, it shows a field in Vietnam, the setting for battles fought by Australian soldiers in the 1970s. The small painting is the work of Peter Ball, curator of the RSL’s museum in Bendigo’s Pall Mall, next door to the Information Centre. There are other paintings by Mr Ball in the collection: a portrait of a soldier, a scene from a battle, worked up from photographs with a competent hand. This artistic skill and interest is a lesser-known side of the man who has guided the development of

the RSL’s popular museum. His ability to pick up the ball offered to him and the RSL when they realised the need for such a museum – and to run with it with such energy and commitment – is much better known. “It’s pretty much been Peter’s life, RSL committee

“When we opened it up it was a case full of treasure, as far as we were concerned” chairman Cliff Richards says. “How much do you ask of a volunteer? “He has absorbed the history, accepted the challenges – where do you find people like that?” Both Mr Ball and Mr Richards are quick to point out it has been a team effort, setting up a museum in the grand Soldier’s Memorial Hall building, first opened in 1921.

and on, they know the answer. “We are now a nationally admired military museum,” Mr Richards said. “Peter’s role is magnificent, but as we look towards the future, we know Peter will need a hand, so we’re hoping soon to put in a support person, as part of our planning.” Mr Ball says he first wandered along to RSL meetings to become in-

those barracks, which was going to need a home. Mr Richards remembers he and Mr Ball finding an old suitcase packed full of memorabilia under a counter. “We were told it was full of old military junk,” he says. “When we opened it up, it was a case full of treasure as far as we were concerned. “We discovered then that all Bendigo’s military

They called for donations, expecting that, after a few years, they would harness most of the memorabilia and house it safely in their new museum. “In fact, it has never slowed down,� Mr Richards says. “That’s a bit scary because Peter has hit a brick wall already with how much he can exhibit.� Mr Ball, however, smiles enigmatically when he broaches that same “full-up� topic. While the main hall is chock-a-block, he is constantly devising little schemes, moving a cabinet here, putting in another one there, to make it possible to cram a little more into the cavernous spaces. He has also been working hard to learn, and then to put into practice his own computer skills, to increase the all-important work of archiving the records which people are constantly wanting to access in order to trace relatives.

finds he doesn’t have much time to devote to art. One of his tasks as museum curator involves making sure that the relatives who donate memorabilia are both sure they want to make the donation, and that they are well pleased with how the museum keeps and displays the objects. Mr Richards points out that some archivists criticise the museum for not locking away old photographs in light-controlled areas, but both men believe it’s important to honour the donation by trying to display it. “It’s such an important part of Bendigo history, and it’s the story of the people that matter,� Mr Ball says. “Rightly or wrongly, our military history is the story of Australia.� He is horrified that Bendigo does not have a social history museum to complement what the RSL is doing. “I just can’t understand why we haven’t got one. We really should have a museum bigger than Ballarat’s, with our rich history.�

St John’s school Irishtown AS I have previously mentioned, Irishtown had two denominational schools, one operated by the Church of England, while the other was run by the Wesleyans. St John’s was the first school for Irishtown children. Initially the St John’s building was a rude timber structure which was gradually upgraded to weatherboard. The second school, built later and of brick, was next door to the St John’s school. The days of both schools were numbered, with the advent of the Education Act that would pass the Victorian Legislature in 1872; this important Act was shepherded through parliament by local member Angus Mackay. The Education Act was to make education in the colony of Victoria free, compulsory and secular. Towards the close of 1872, the annual prizegiving was held at St John’s Church of England Common School, the Reverend William R Croxton making the presentations. Sixty valuable and handsomely bound books were awarded to various young scholars. During the year of 1872, up to 243 pupils at

The family was to move to Valentine Street at a later date where Mrs Reid died in 1877. St John’s school, during 1872, had catered for destitute children, the numbers of which had decreased significantly from 50 down to 19. That latter number were still in attendance at the end of the year. Mr Croxton, when

presenting the book prizes to the young students, emphasised the importance of being diligent in all they did, especially in their application to their school work. Mrs Reid played the school harmonium and accompanied the children when they rendered a number of songs in a most creditable manner. The children had practiced their songs beforehand with the assistance of both Mr and Mrs Reid. On the completion of the prize presentation Reverend Croxton was given a good many cheers by the children, who were anticipating their summer holidays with some delight. The prize recipients were reported as being greatly pleased with their bounty, nursing their books with obvious pride and care. The teachers were thanked by Mr Croxton for their efforts during the year. At the end of January 1873, the attendance at the school had risen from 60 in December of the previous year to 177, and the old wooden building was bursting at the joints. Mr Reid was assisted by Miss Humphrey in at-

In the infant department the children were packed in together, which was most unpleasant, especially as the weather was so hot.

tion to relieve the pressure. Mr Reid was entitled to have two assistant teachers and two pupil teachers and was eagerly awaiting a reply from the department. A comment was made that the children belonged to respectable parents, they presented a clean and tidy appearance. This was not unexpected as the parents were paying fees for the children to attend. Reid however expressed concern that there were flocks of children in the Bridge Street area of Irishtown who were not attending any school.

Ben Cameron SHE might be pushing 62, but you can’t keep Detroit’s Suzi Quatro out of the limelight. And with a brand new single under her belt, Spotlight, the Queen of Rock is returning to Bendigo once more. Bendigo has a special place in Quatro’s heart. “I always enjoy it,� she says. “There’s a nice shop on the High Street where I bought loads of heart-shaped luggage tags... I hope to get some more.� The Wild One says she’s done nearly 30 tours of Australia, which means she’s come to Bendigo at least 25 times. “The gigs are always great (in Bendigo),� she says. “They not only rock, but they listen... a good combination.� Despite a laundry list of highlights, including 50 million albums and singles sold, and appearances in everything from Happy Days, Minder, Absolutely Fabulous and West End theatre, her first visit to our shores, in

Suzi Quatro: Queen of Rock. Melbourne in 1974, remains one of the biggest. “It was my first time there (in Australia), it was probably the loudest one (gig) I had ever heard,� she says. “The screams actually hurt my ears... I can still hear it.� What seems like yesterday too was the release of her first major hit, Can the Can, nearly 40 years ago. “I can believe it’s been that

long, although it has gone quick,� she says. “I always knew I would be in the business for life.� All the more reason Quatro is probably due to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Cash and Jim Morrison, and be immortalised in a Hollywood film. But she has her doubts. “That’s difficult... I’m not easy to imitate,� she says. Suzi Quatro plays Bendigo Stadium Sunday, october 2.

Jodie said. “They almost have the power to heal themselves.�

HANGING By a Thread occupies a curious space between craft and art; the work isn’t quite practical or functional enough to qualify as craft, and certainly isn’t overtly didactic, political or formal enough to be pegged easily as art. It’s smack dab in the middle. The exhibition is also in the middle of town in Rosalind Park, among plants and (literally) hanging from the rafters inside Bendigo’s famed Conservatory. It’s part of a trilogy of shows instigated by the City of Greater Bendigo council to make best use of the behemoth that is the White Wedding Dress – 27,000 people through the doors of BAG and counting‌ They are All Dressed Up: A Baker’s Dozen of Bridal Frocks by local ceramicist Suzie O’Shea; Raw and Funky: Fine Art Fashions In Fibre, a collection of primarily felted fashion pieces in the living art space at Bendigo Information Centre; and now Hanging By A Thread, a showcase of local textile artists, part of the council’s Temporary Public Art Program. Dare I say it, the latter is the most eclectic and interesting, rich with personal stories and local heritage. The creators and artists – five individuals and two local textile groups – taking the opportunity to express a range of ideas through fibre, fabrics and twine. Immediately I was drawn to Lella Cariddi’s striking trilogy: Once Upon A Dinner Party, Do You Understand the Sadness of Geography and Mementoes of a 1959 Wedding. A “curator of contemporary art and an installation artistâ€? she seizes the opportunity to initiate a counter-conservative conversation around the traditional idea of needle and thread being somehow exclusively feminine and passive. Her pieces elevate the mundane and unnoticed. Billowing from the ceiling, the first is a large white tablecloth on which Cariddi invites dinner party guests to draw their stories in texta. Next is another large white

Hanging by a Thread sheet upon which are sewn square panels of orange tulle, covered with more panels of finely-embroidered words and images. Delicate and emphemeral, it evokes the past – a kind of fabric mural homage to the needlework of our grandmothers. The third is a superbly-sewn, translucent, wee white wedding dress, set against a bright orange background. A statement perhaps? About marriage, weddings and the icon of the white wedding dress, dragged kicking and screaming from its current public podium down to a far more intimate and personal platform? The installation was beautiful and intriguing. I found out from curator Maree Tonkin that Cariddi had spent three days literally sewing her work into the venue. K’Flat maker Jane Maxwell also presented an engaging piece. Sourcing her materials from op shops – doilies, an old bodice, cotton reels and ribbons – Jane’s dress made a bold state-

ment about the white wedding dress, here more resembling the punk frock worn by the model in Billy Idol’s White Wedding music video than any of the more majestic dresses on show at BAG. The great marriage of art and craft however, came courtesy of the Karen Weavers Group, refugees from Burma who have found their way to Bendigo. Using traditional back-strap looms the women created a series of floor-to-ceiling pieces which took my breath away. At least 4.5 metres long each, the great coloured tapestries shimmer in rows as the light filters through the white glass walls of the plant house. Deceptively crafty, these too act as metaphors. Made by a community which has had to re-group in another country, the threads within the painstakingly handmade pieces represent the binding together of individuals, “to re-build a feeling of community and support of each other�. Crafty art indeed.

2011 Victorian Seniors Festival Message from the premier and the minister for ageing

W

elcome to the Victorian Seniors Festival. Now in its 29th year, the festival is truly a statewide event for senior Victorians. With Victorian Government funding and the participation from all Victorian councils, events and activities take place across the state in october. The festival celebrates and acknowledges older Victorians and this program is full of opportunities for you to take advantage of. The Victorian Government is providing free metropolitan and regional public transport for all Victorian Seniors card holders for the period october 2 to 9 including five days of free V/line travel to attend festival events and to visit friends and family. The drought has broken and we are all enjoying the greenery and growth. However, with the floods in regional Victoria causing great damage and hardship for many Victorians, providing opportunities for smaller communities to come together at festival time is a good way of helping overcome adversity. This year we are very pleased to be supporting additional festival events in Victoria’s flood affected areas. our Government works with and supports many organisations run by older Victorians and festival time is an ideal opportunity for them to open their doors to show you more. The festival receives strong sponsorship support and we acknowledge this important contribution, particularly that received from our major sponsors. In metropolitan and regional Victoria there are many special offers available from businesses and tourism attractions eager to welcome you. look at the council contacts listing to find events in your area. We thank you for your contributions to Victoria and we hope you enjoy what this year’s festival has to offer.

S we age, there are many ailments, conditions, syndromes and diseases that can impact our lives. To help overcome these conditions Samantha Hamilton of Bendigo Body and Soul is offering Seniors Card holders a massive discount of 50 per cent during the 2011 Victorian Seniors Festival on all Bowen Therapy sessions. Bowen Therapy is a gentle, yet powerful body treatment which enhances the body’s own ability to heal itself, improving your lifestyle and mood. Often when we experience problems and ill health, we sometimes become less mobile because it may be causing us pain. This leads us to avoid movement, which can then be a catalyst to more health issues. Bowen Therapy will release muscle tension and assist in taking away inflammation and fluid build up. Due to the anti-inflammatory effect of Bowen Therapy, it is extremely beneficial in relaxing the muscles to enhance digestion, ease bowel and bladder problems

Aiming to make your life easy

NDREW Cox is a man whose talents are in great demand. The managing director of +OAPL Health and Mobility Centre, Andrew is also a skilled prosthetist and orthotist. Andrew makes limbs for amputees, foot orthotics and prescribes custom footwear for people with a variety of foot problems as well as prescribing and custom fitting a large range of braces and supports for wrist, hand, shoulder, ankle and knee injuries. Recently he made two artificial limbs for a sea captain who, in a previous life as a professional fisherman, lost a leg in a sea accident and needs one for everyday use and one for work. At university 25 years ago, Andrew looked at paths to follow and

thought prosthetist/orthotists was a good choice. “Not only do you get to use your brain, you get to use your hands and you get to help people� he says modestly. “I’ve been looking after clients for many years and take great pride and pleasure in helping them retain their mobility and independence in their own homes.� Patient treatment includes devices for every body part, while the aids and appliances available include everything from non slip bath mats to motorised scooters to a full range of custom made prosthetic limbs including high tech computerised limbs. +OAPL Health and Mobility Centre can be contacted on 5441 4333 to make an appointment.

HE Australian Funerals Directors Association has recently alerted consumers to the concerns around the hidden cost of funeral insurance. Ms Bernadine Brierty AFDA senior vice president said funeral insurance advertising may not give consumers the full picture on the real costs of a policy. “These findings are very worrying considering the amount of advertising out there spruiking the benefits of supposedly low-cost funeral insurance. This isn’t always true especially as premiums rise and accumulate over the years,� Bernadine said. AFDA’s warning follows recent research conducted by the Combined Pensioners and Superannuates Association of NSW into the cost of funeral insurance premiums and common policy pitfalls. AFDA encourages people to find the

best option for their own circumstances, on how to pre-finance their own funeral. Do your own research and look at the overall costs involved. You may find that a pre-paid funeral makes more financial sense. “With a prepaid funeral the funeral director’s charges are fixed,� Mulqueen Family Funeral Directors manager Mark Mulqueen said . “You can finalise your arrangements in accordance with your own wishes and there is no problem paying the agreed amount off. Prepaid funerals, organised through a funeral director, have really stood the test of time,� he said.

We care for the seniors in your life

W

HEN 85-year-old Jim had a fall at home, his family became concerned about him living alone. They weren’t keen to take him to a nursing home before he was ready, as he was still able to care for himself. The family organised a home assessment through St John of God Hospital, even though Jim had never been a patient, to find areas of the home that posed possible safety issues. The problems like lifting carpet, no handrails, poor lighting and an uneven garden path were then fixed by a reputable tradesman organised by the hospital. Many factors, including decreasing balance, mobility and vision, can lead to falls occurring. The Occupational Therapy Department at St John of God Hospital has introduced the Home Assessment and Modification Service (HAMS) which provides a home safety assessment. This involves an assessment and discussion with the client regarding

Care Beyond Measure’s care givers provide home care help to clients and their families who desire assistance with activities that used to be simple. HANDY: Occupational therapist Helen Gilbey shows a client some handrail options. potential hazards, ways to avoid them and possible solutions, all provided in a written report. One of the difficulties older people experience is not knowing who to contact if they feel that rails in the bathroom, beside the toilet or beside steps are needed. It can be daunting to find a reliable tradesman to come and do small jobs, and older people may feel vulnerable when asking for assistance in this matter. St John of God have a list of tradesmen they can

call on to install handrails and ramps or make other home modifications as needed. A doctor’s referral is not required for a HAMS assessment. You can contact the Allied Health Department at St John of God on 5434 3216 for your assessment. The St John of God Hospital Home Assessment and Modification Service provides a home assessment and report for $160 with some eligible clients able to claim a partial refund through their private health insurance.

2011 Victorian Seniors Festival Helping seniors keep their independence.

S

ENIORS Week is one way that Australia recognises your contribution to this country. You’ve given a lot in your lifetime and we want to acknowledge it. Now it’s your time and there is a lot of living to be done. That’s why you need to start paying attention to your own needs. The problem is when your children look at you they don’t see a senior, they see a parent. It can come as a shock when they realise that you can’t do what you used to. Take Jack as an example. His daughter rang him every day. One morning when she called in to see him, she found he’d had no food for a day. He’d hurt himself and couldn’t walk. He hadn’t told her because he didn’t want to go to hospital. All he needed was a bit of help until he was up and about again but he was scared to ask for it. Asking for help isn’t about losing your independence, it’s about keeping it. Don’t struggle on trying to do things that are beyond you. You don’t want accident or injury restricting your choices. Care Beyond Measure gives you the help you need so you can stay in your own home and live life to the fullest. When something as simple as a little help at home can keep you safe, healthy and happy, make sure you ask for it. Call Sam on 5444 5662 or emailsam@ carebeyondmeasure.com for a free consultation.

Teachers play Mud and Glory

A rich cycling heritage ONE of the joys of cycling is the in-depth conversations that can take place out on the road. One such conversation prompted the question of why does Bendigo have such a rich heritage of cycling culture? Is it the alluring hills and valleys for cyclists to train hard yet enjoy the freedom and challenge of man and machine against nature’s seasons and unpredictable conditions? We digressed to thinking of the champions that have risen up across many aspects of the sport and what was the foundation that these people had built on. We reflected that there might have been strong club members and people with courage to make decisions and see the potential in others and open door of opportunity. We still did not think we had yet captured the essence of what were the strong roots of a cycling culture. There is no doubt a strong road culture at present. There is also an amazing sub-culture of BMX, with a strong racing presence and freestyle emerging and stamping its

GOLDEN DAYS: Phil Sawyer and Danny Clarke at Bendigo Madison.

EDDIE BARKLA place in history. There is the growing of the triathlon club that has a strong need to be at the top end of the sport and we have been blessed with names on the world stage home grown off the lonely district roads. The mountain bike scene has a long past and a bright future with family names that echo in the halls of cycling fame. There has been, and hopefully will continue to be, a strong commuting community where places like ADI and the railway workshops of the past and other large entities that had workers riding their deadly treadly or affectionately called the gridiron or sweatwheel in some circles. Time on the road brought other stories of ancestors in their days of riding to school on gravel roads, in some cases for miles, or in courtship chasing love. We took this thought

and teased it out more, asking ourselves what is the birth of most things that are lasting and of strong character? We could see commitment and dedication has been in the ancestry of some of the world class riders we know and admire. Necessity is the mother of all inventions; adversity either makes or breaks the heart of those in the midst of life’s challenges. We concluded that most miners and workers around Bendigo were of a strong Anglo-Catholic background, tough men and women leaving home comforts chasing the dream of gold, but also facing the depression, drought, floods and fires. Now we felt we could start to get near the heart of this cycling community culture. Necessity, adversity, combined with a fighting spirit of not giving up. As any cyclist knows, nothing in cycling is achieved without the hard yards. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

DOWN AND DIRTY: The motorcycle club event had some real high points.

THE Bendigo Motorcycle Club’s 2011 Ravenswood Cup was a big success, with an expected $10,000 raised over the weekend. Some of Australia’s top riding talent came to Bendigo for the two day event, with Alex Stephenson taking out the coveted Ravenswood Cup.

The cup attracted around 100 riders in a range of classes, from junior riders up to senior and ladies classes. However, Bendigo Motorcycle Club secretary Julie Luxford said the event was not just about racing, but raising funds.

“This event is not just about the riding, but raising funds to give back to the local community,” she said. “We will be donating profits to Vision Australia Bendigo Children’s Holiday program and the Lockwood South Fire Brigade.”

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

This is a fine week to play. Love and social life are given a “go” signal. Those with clientele will have plenty to do. There is a potential for accidents or breakage of equipment. The powers that be in your career life are definitely in charge. Progress can be made only through persuasion and even that may not help right now.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

In May your engine revved and you started a new project that involves projecting yourself out into the world more fully. You began to explore a greater sense of self-confidence. During this period you may be evaluating whether the initial start was worth the gain. Now is the time to pour more of your personal resources into that project or to let it go.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

There is an old saying: “Don’t believe everything you think.” Take this one to heart this week. Your feelings and thoughts may be only projections of what you want to think. You might identify a piece of information as a truth, when indeed, it is merely your opinion. Try to reduce distractions so you will think more clearly.

3009

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

During this week you will enjoy home, hearth, and family. That also includes those whom you think of as an extended family, such as co-workers or maybe a special circle of friends. The arts and all things of beauty are of a special pleasure to you now.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21): Activities involving education, short distance travel, writing and lectures are favoured now. Neighbours, siblings, or roommates may provide entertainment. Alongside that, there is likely a crisis of decision in front of you concerning your job and or co-workers. It is an old issue. The most important factor is to centre yourself with who you have become rather than who you were. Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

You may drive yourself buggy with multiple worries at this time. Most of what we worry over never comes to pass. Recognize that you may manifest your inner images, both positive and negative, into reality. Your hyper alert periods may be symptoms of obsessing.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

This is a very busy week with multiple influences. Romance and social life flow easily. Meanwhile you have an old issue, returning for review, which concerns family, home, and your sense of belonging. Make an effort to avoid old knee-jerk reactions. Come from the self that you are now.

This is a good week to concentrate on a challenging mental project. It will work better for you if you are revising, editing, or itemizing details. If you are producing a new creative work, you are likely to be overly critical of the outcome. The critic may advise, but it should never be allowed to condemn your efforts.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):

It is of paramount importance that you control your mouth this week. Although you have an opinion about whatever is happening, let it go and say nothing unless asked for it. Being “right” is generally not as important as maintaining human relations.

Circumstances involving love life and money may feel a bit tight. You may experience an emotional droop near the first, in which you perceive yourself to be alone in the world. This is a temporary mood, so don’t take it seriously. You are fatigued and potentially overworked. Get some rest.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): You are focused mainly upon work and projects throughout this week. Your attention may be called to the internet, the law, or connecting to people at a distance. Travel is possible, but it is more probable that your connections will be electronic. Missing data or absentee people may be slowing your progress.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19): Things may be going fine in your outer world, but your inner world needs attention. An old bogey man, the fear of abandonment, could be rattling around in your mind. There are others who want to share their resources with you and the fish is actually shy. Pisces may prefer to stay out of the limelight and swim to the bottom.

the games By BEN CAMERON

WITH 2565 teachers and school staff competing, 4287 entries in 119 events, 350 medals over 30 different sports, from archery to paintball, this year’s Victorian Teachers’ Games was one of the best yet. Games organiser Deanne O’Donoghue said some of the new sports this year were squash, paintball and triathlon, proving the games was improving each

and every year. “The event generated more than a $1 million in business for Bendigo,” she said, going by City of Greater Bendigo estimates. The winner of the Minister’s Cup, presented each year to the team best representing the spirit of the Games, was Silverton Primary School. Bendigo’s Catholic College were the best represented of local schools, with 30 competitors.

HANDS ON ON: Sport was fast and furious at the Teachers’ Games.

LOOKING FOR CHEER THE Bendigo Braves are looking for their next wave of cheerleaders. If you love to dance and perform, be at the Bendigo Stadium from 6pm this Sunday to register, with auditions beginning at 6.30pm sharp. Cheer ‘n Dance director and coach Kim Manallack said she was looking for males and females, 16 years and over, who are committed to perform at every Braves home game. Cheerleaders train twice a week and are required to attend the gym each week – every official Braves cheerleader receives a free gym mem-

bership at Lifestyle Fitness. “Dance or gymnast background is preferred but not essential,” Kim said. “You will learn dance routines, cheer stunts and other aspect of performing. “I also run a junior cheerleading squad, which starts at six years of age.”

HAVE A SWING VISION impaired Bendigonians are encouraged to have a swing at blind cricket. A come and try day will be held on Tuesday, October 4 from 1.45pm

at the Tom Flood Sports Centre, followed by four weekly sessions on Thursdays from 3.45pm to 4.45pm at the Tom Flood Sports Centre from October 13. Vision Australia’s Steve Mongiatti said blind cricket was a great way to improve fitness and social skills “The need for recreation opportunities is even greater in the vision impaired community as the vision impairment can increase the person’s sense of isolation,” he said. “This program is a great chance to learn how to play blind cricket, how-

ever just as importantly, offers the chance to share a sport with other vision impaired people.” People of all ages interested in playing blind cricket are invited to attend. Call Steve Monigatti at Vision Australia Bendigo on 5445 5700.

GOLDEN VICTORY GOLDEN SQUARE Football Club achieved a rare “three-peat” on Saturday, when it thrashed Eaglehawk by 135 points to claim the Bendigo Football League premiership. In front of 6500 screaming fans at the Queen Elizabeth Oval,

the Bulldogs completed the most one sided grand final in BFNL history, and a perfect season for Nick Carter’s men. There were some nervous moments early on, as Eaglehawk kicked the first three goals of the game. But the Hawks failed to score another goal until the third quarter, as the Bulldogs slammed on 11 goals in the second term, ultimately ending the contest. In senior netball, Golden Square also got the chocolates, defeating Sandhurst by seven goals (49-42), with Louise Dupuy judged best afield.

King of spin Bendigo cricketer guides new Australian star

By BEN CAMERON

AUSTRALIA’S number one spinner is being guided by one of Bendigo’s best. Strathdale Maristians Cricket Club spinner Craig Howard will work in tandem with Australian off spinner Nathan Lyon, through his new role as part-time spin coach with the South Australian cricket team. Howard first met Lyon through his role as a spin consultant at the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane, before he came from nowhere to make his Test debut last month against Sri Lanka, claiming a wicket with his first delivery, on his way to a haul of 5/34. “He is a real talent and has a very good head on his shoulders,” Howard said. “He is very uncomplicated and has a nice natural rhythm and bowls with terrific over spin which should bring him lots of success especially on Australian wickets which will suit him more than the sub continent. “I was a little worried about him being rushed into the team based on potential because of what had happened to the previous spinners since Warne’s exit. “The main concern was

COME IN SPINNER: Craig Howard. how he was going to be handled and captained mainly, but it was terrific to see Michael Clarke put a lot of faith in him and let him have his fields and bowl the way he wanted to. “It was great to see a spinner come on in the 13th or 14th over of the first innings of a test match and be backed in.” Howard contemplated a full-time role, but decided to stay in Bendigo and take a part-time position, for family and financial reasons. “Once the season begins, my time will be broken up between training sessions and

some game day stuff both here in Melbourne and in Adelaide,” he said. “A lot of weekends will be taken up but my work has been excellent in allowing me to take some time off as well. Howard, a former Victorian state cricketer who took 42 wickets at an average of 40 bowling leg breaks, has just returned from India where he spent 10 days with several back up spinners, including South Australia’s Cullen Bailey, for the Champions League, who will be set up at the World Cricket Academy in Nagpur. “I went so we could spend some time helping him get ready for the Shield season,” he said. “It was an amazing experience and great to see how they worked over there, was very noticeable just how much they practice their skills. “We had ‘Bails’ bowling up to five hours a day and the improvement was quite noticeable even in a short period of time. “Our spinners have been under bowled in Australia for a long time and something we are trying to change.” Howard has taken 89 wickets at 19 since debuting with Maristians in 2006.

Cricket on line for start THE Bendigo and District Cricket Association will begin on schedule next Saturday, according to association president Wayne Walsh. There have been recent rumblings the season would begin a week later than October 8, with fears a number of pitches were way behind in preparation. However Walsh has

doused that speculation. “We’re all set to begin on schedule,” he said. Walsh said Strathfieldsaye’s was the only ground unavailable to his knowledge. “The council are working on it as we speak, it will be out of action for the first two matches at least,” he said. “Golden Square have been a little slow in their

preparation, but I’m told they will be right. “The majority of grounds are pretty good.” Ironically, the season has begun a week later than usual to avoid a clash with Saturday’s AFL Grand Final. The BDCA will hold its official season launch at White Hills Cricket Ground this Monday at 6pm.
