Bendigo Weekly Issue 721 July 22 2011

BYPASSEDBy ANTHONY RADFORD

A LAST-MINUTE plan could see a solution reached in the battle over whether or not to build a four-lane road through historic Quarry Hill.

VicRoads and the City of Greater Bendigo council released the Draft Bendigo Road Transport Strategy in March.

Bendigo’s population is ex-pected to grow by 40,000 people

by 2030, which translates to about 115,000 vehicle trips each day.

The strategy proposed more than $380 million work to the city’s road network over the next 25 years.

The Bendigo Weekly revealed in March homes could be lost as part of the plan, which had at its centre a road connecting the city’s south and north through the historic sub-urb.

Strong campaigning from locals

culminated in 453 submissions to the strategy, and a public hearing at the Bendigo library last night.

The man credited with saving Bendigo from running out of wa-ter, well-known businessman Don Erskine, had previously backed the plan to build a road up the rail-way reserve from the city’s south to north.

Mr Erskine has reiterated his support for the plan, but said a

through-road in Quarry Hill was not the right idea.

Mr Erskine said the plan should look at a series of exits or distribu-tion points.

“We have to address the future population growth of the city, but I am not convinced the study has come up with the � nal solution,” he said.

“A lot of the strategy and what it recommended was extremely good

and will alleviate problems around Bendigo.

“But the � nal north-south route needs more input, even though the basic concept is right.”

Mr Erskine called for a change in direction away from a through-road, towards a series of planned exits.

“The distribution of traf� c from Myrtle Street or through Quarry Hill needs to be re� ned,” he said.

“I am talking about distribut-ing traf� c to different areas when it leaves the train line.

Erskine calls for new road rethink

Man arrested after ‘shot � red’A LONG Gully man was in police custody late yesterday, after an alleged shooting incident at a Happy Valley Road property that sparked a lockdown of City of Greater Ben-digo of� ces and a local law � rm. The 58-year-old man was arrested just after 1.30pm. No one was injured in the incident. FULL STORY Page 3

Biggest Winner returns

Rethink on road

THE Biggest Winner is back. The weight loss challenge organised by St John of God Hospital, with a $1000 � rst prize, caught the imagination of Bendigo people last year.

More than 100 people lost a combined 281.6 kilogram, re-duced their blood pressure and dropped a total of 821.4 centi-metres off arms, necks, waists, hips and legs.

The good news is there are 200 places available this year.

“The focus this year will be on workplace teams, although individuals are welcome to en-ter,” hospital chief executive of-� cer Michael Hogan said.

“We hope workplaces will again consider subsidising or paying their staff’s fee.

“Last year 70 of the entrants (78 per cent) were in nine teams. The winning team, from Cam-paspe Asset Management Servic-es, had 15 co-workers involved and they lost an average of six per cent and were doing their own workplace activities as well, as were most team entries.

“CAMS team members also picked up some prizes at the awards night, for weight loss, most improved blood pressure or centimetres lost.”

Michael Hogan said lessons

from entrants’ comments and the results last year showed it was easier if you have support from family, friends and work-mates, it helped to be weighed in regularly and those who used coupons and free offers all lost weight. Even those who did not lose a lot of weight still lost centi-metres and dropped their blood pressure.

The $50 registration fee ap-plies again, and entitles entrants to a starter pack with useful tips, discount coupons and informa-

tion, weekly weigh-ins if they wish, gym access and personal trainer advice and other help along the way.

This year the proceeds will be donated to the Heart Founda-tion.

Last year’s winner Linda Conn, is urging others to sign up.

Linda lost an amazing 24 per cent of her body weight in 12 weeks and took home the cheque for $1000. She said the best prize was her new lease on life.

“I had been meaning to lose weight for a long time, like many people,” she said.

“Having a start date and the structure of the chal-lenge was a huge help. Before it was always going to be ‘next Mon-day.’”

Ms Conn praised the View Street UFS Pharmacy staff for their help.

“The staff were so encourag-ing; they always noticed my im-provements and it made such a difference,” she said.

Ms Conn plans to enter again this year to try to reach her goal weight – and encourage her father to join her this time.

“I lost a lot but still have more to go,” she said.

“I want to tell everyone, even losing (the � rst) 10 kilos made a huge difference. I had always felt the process of losing a lot of weight was daunting.

“Doing it with others, and having the Bendigo’s Biggest Winner structure and support, makes it all more do-able.”

“Instead of a through route, it is the distribution of traf� c that needs to be addressed.

“Some may be at Gladstone Street, some may be at Myrtle Street, some may be elsewhere.

“It will be the distribution that will be the solution to the problems we are facing, not the through-road.”

Mr Erskine said the claim the north-south route would be dominated by trucks and speeding cars was unrealistic.

“The through traf� c in Ben-digo is very minimal,” he said.

“It is the internal and local community whose needs have to be addressed.

“It is the residential areas that will be serviced by this road and this strategy.

“The plan is not talking about trucks and transport, it is talking about internal, local traf� c ¡ ow.

“Any trucks that are in the city are servicing the city and would be there anyway.

“There will be very few truck movements in compari-son to public domestic trans-port.”

Man�in�custody

BENDIGO will be re-named Bendimo for November, to raise awareness of men’s health.

As part of the popular Movember fundraising campaign, the Bendigo Weekly believes the council has given the go ahead to the Bendigo Prostate Support Group plan.

Before then, the group will hold a special prostate cancer awareness week in Bendigo.

Some of the city’s most prominent buildings, including the RSL, Myers and the Bendigo Bank buildings, all in Pall Mall, will be lit up with blue lights fro the week.

The Weekly also understands a big pair of blue underpants will be strung from the Bendigo Bank building pro-moting prostate cancer checks.

The week will culminate in a gala event in Rosalind Park on August 26.

Special guests will include AFL identities David Parkin and Kevin Sheehan, as well as a Blues band.

Arrest follows alleged gun discharge in Long Gully

By BEN CAMERON

A 58-year old man was ar-rested yesterday at a Long Gully home after a gun was allegedly fired.

At the time of pub-lication, the man was in custody and refusing to co-operate with CIU de-tectives.

The drama began just before 9.30am when a lawyer acting on behalf of the City of Greater Bendi-go council went to a Hap-py Valley Road property to serve a building order on the owner.

The lawyer told po-lice he thought he heard a cracking sound, turned around and thought he saw a man holding a gun.

Police had not found a gun or a bullet late yes-terday.

The man drove off af-ter the incident, and po-lice cordoned off the street at Marong Road.

About 20 police and 10 police cars were in-

volved in the operation.The incident saw coun-

cil buildings and the office of Beck Legal to close.

City of Greater Ben-digo chief executive of-

ficer Craig Niemann said security guards were called to council buildings with public access.

“As soon as we heard that there had been a shot fired, we put these actions in place,” he said.

The man was arrested without incident when he returned to the Happy Valley Road property after 1pm.

Inquiries are continu-ing.

NEW NAME: Bendigo will change its name for a month.

LEFT: A man is taken into custody. ABOVE: The home in

Long Gully.

Burnt trees to stay despite safety risk claim

Residents stumpedBy RosemaRy soRensen Parks Victoria has been accused of putting habi-tat before people by one of the victims of Black saturday.

“Their slogan is Healthy Parks, Healthy People, and they treat us like this,” Maiden Gully resident Joy Bice said yes-terday.

“For them, the na-tional park is habitat, but I think a park should be for people.

“If people want to walk there, or if kids want to play there, they should be able to.”

Mrs Bice and other

residents whose homes were destroyed in the 2009 bushfires peti-tioned the state Govern-ment to have the burnt trees in the regional park opposite their properties removed.

They said the dead trees were a constant re-minder of the fires and were also dangerous. The shallow regrowth was a further fire hazard, ac-cording to the residents.

City of Greater Ben-digo council resolved in May to remove the already-felled roadside trees, subject to a deci-sion by Minister for En-vironment and Climate Change, ryan smith, to

remove the remaining burnt trees on park land.

However, yester-day Mr smith informed Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards that the trees would not be re-

moved because they pro-vided habitat.

“He (Mr smith) is telling us to go and get counselling,” Mrs Bice said.

“They are saying there are no visitor spaces, car-parks or barbecues in the area, but they just don’t want anyone in their parks.

“They are just too dangerous to go in there.”

Mrs Bice said the resi-dents’ group would not give up their fight.

“This does not ad-dress the real issue, which is that the trees are dan-gerous,” she said.

“We are going to pur-sue it further.”

“He is telling us to go and get counselling”

Soccer club battles for safetyTHErE are fears a junior soccer pitch is unsafe and could endanger some of the 200 children who use the facility each week.

The Golden City soc-cer Club’s junior sub-committee has spoken of the dangers of their Fen-ton street home pitch, saying it is unsafe.

Club stalwart Todd Morley, who has coached juniors for almost 20 years, said the pitches were “dangerously close”

to the post-and-rail fence and lacked any goal screens to stop balls fly-ing out onto Fenton street and into the pass-ing traffic.

“I am increasingly frustrated watching other clubs’ facilities continu-ally improve while Gold-en City’s fall well behind despite the efforts of club president steve Graham and the committee,” he said.

“It is only a matter

of time before a child is hit by a car as they chase a ball.

“Whether the City of Greater Bendigo council has greater plans for us or not we urgently need the green light to erect goal screens.

“My concern is pro-viding a safe environ-ment for children from this part of Bendigo and visiting clubs to play soc-cer.”

The inner city club

with a proud playing his-tory boasts a multi cul-tural player population from all walks of life.

recently, it welcomed its newest player group, the karen and african refugees.

The club primar-ily draws on Long Gully, North Bendigo, Maiden Gully Golden square and Central Bendigo.

The City of Greater Bendigo council was un-available for comment.

Funding in firing line

Friday, July 22, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly www.bendigoweekly.com.au news • 7

By RosemaRy soRensen

Bendigo Bank has re-sponded to concerns about the way funds collected for bushfire victims have been spent.

“We understand the frustration the community must be feeling,” manager of Bendigo Bank’s Com-munity enterprise Founda-tion Callum Wright said this week.

“They have had to en-dure the confusion of a very complex process.”

earlier this month, Bendigo Bushfire Action group member Paul ep-worth questioned why $300,000 of bushfire funds was spent on the Long gul-ly Menshed.

Mr epworth said the group “was disgusted by the lack of consultation on

this project and the mis-direction of funds to one shed”.

While Mr Wright con-ceded the Foundation “could have been more forthcoming” with infor-mation about how the money donated to the Bushfire Fund was being allocated”, he said initial

support for the Menshed project had been received in July, 2009.

“We have a letter en-dorsing the project, from the community reference group at the time,” Mr Wright said.

That letter, signed by

facilitator Mark Cattell and reference group member Karen Plant, said the lack of a Long gully facility had been an issue for the com-munity.

“The physical and emo-tional damage inflicted on these communities by the Black Saturday bushfire has exacerbated the urgency to

establish this long-planned and much-needed multi-purpose community facil-ity,” they said.

Mr epworth’s group has no issue with the shed being built, but believes-dthe project should have been funded by govern-

ment, not by public dona-tions.

Mr Wright said the Ben-digo Bank’s bushfire fund teamed with Rural devel-opment Victoria to identify projects that “build stron-ger communities”.

“We have many differ-ent pools of money avail-able, and this one was a joint community infra-structure fund which was paid to Menshed Australia, to assist with the Long gul-ly project,” he said.

Mr Wright said there was still $40,000 available in the funding specifically for Bendigo projects as a result of bushfire damage.

“We hope to be with the Action group in the longer term,” he said.

“We look forward to speaking with Mr epworth soon.”

We understand the frustration the community must be feeling

Call on Land 121 expected

By Ben CameRon

A deCiSion on whether Thales will be awarded a lucrative Australian de-fence Force contract is im-minent.

The Bendigo manu-facturer is hoping to se-cure the Australian Army contract as part of the Land 121 Phase 4 protect-ed vehicle contract, worth in the vicinity of $1.2 bil-lion.

in Bendigo to unveil the 800th Bushmaster ar-moured military vehicle, Federal defence Minister Stephen Smith said a de-cision was coming soon.

“We’re expecting to make a decision in the not too distant future,” he said.

“The most important thing is to get it right.

“it’s very important we carefully, thoroughly and methodically go through all of the options. You don’t want to make mistakes.”

Accompanied by de-fence Materiel Minister Ja-son Clare, Mr Smith said Thales had proven itself to be a producer of defence equipment but his depart-

ment had both national security and financial im-plications to consider.

“Australian defence has always been about a combination of local production and develop-ment, or off-the-shelf pur-chases overseas,” he said.

“The preference is that we get the capability that we need, in a way that gives value for money to the taxpayers.

“The success of the Bushmaster holds Thales in good stead, in good or-der for other projects.

“But given the com-petitive bidding arrange-ment, where choices have to be made, it’s not appropriate for me to go into the merits one way or another.

“i can understand people in Bendigo, in the workplace and generally, want a decision sooner rather than later.”

The government re-cently ordered a further 101 Bushmasters for use in Afghanistan, meaning a total of 838 Bushmas-ters would be delivered to the Australian defence Forces .

Mr Smith said it was a

great day for Bendigo. “it’s a great day of cel-

ebration seeing the 800th Bushmaster come off the production line,” he said.

Mr Smith also visited

Bendigo defence uniform contractor Australian de-fence Apparel to inspect the company’s Tiered Body Armour System op-perations.

BENDIGO has fare-welled one of its best-known businessmen, and one of life’s gentle-men.

Don Dungey passed away last Sunday, aged 93.

Don’s business was real estate, joining the family business – LL Dungey and Sons – at 17.

He went on to help create one of the city’s most successful busi-nesses, now known as DCK.

During his working life, which was up until Don was 90, the com-pany grew from having six staff to more than 40, from 150 properties on its rent role to more than 1500.

As well as being a real estate agent, Don was an auctioneer and a valuer. He sold some of Bendigo’s landmark properties, including Lansellstowe and the Shamrock Hotel, during his working life.

The name Don Dungey was synony-mous with hard work, working seven days a week for years on end, an ethic his children and grandchildren have benefited greatly from.

Don worked at a time when deals were done with handshakes, and he wasn’t afraid to

go into bat to help oth-ers out.

It was not uncom-mon for Don to help out hardworking cou-ples short of a deposit, with a loan.

He would also threaten the Bendigo Building Society, leg-endary boss Frank Per-row in particular, that he would withdraw his

substantial funds if the society would not lend clients of good character money.

Don’s willingness to do what was needed and go the extra step to help out wasn’t limited to his work life.

He proudly enlisted as soon as the Second World War was declared, and went to war for its

entirety.He joined the Anti-

Aircraft Unit where his role was to drive an AIF gun truck and look after the gun. His war duties took him to the Middle East, Borneo, New Guinea and other Pacific locations.

A favourite fam-ily story of Don’s war service is based in the Egyptian desert, where he came across a little girl about to be sold off for slavery, or maybe worse.

Don was shocked at the thought the girl could be robbed of her childhood, and man-aged to buy her free-dom using rations and a small sum of money.

Don’s personal life was also admirable, and full of fun.

He married his first wife, Lois Hyett, in 1944, on a rare visit home during the war.

The couple had two sons, Richard (Rick) and Robin, who was born on Anzac Day 1949.

Lois died tragically in 1968, and in 1977 Don married Joan, who shared his love of travel, golf, football, music, gardening and, almost more importantly for Don, a cold beer.

Don had nine grand-children and six great grandchildren.

A stand to deliverBy ROSEMARY SORENSEN

MAIL delivery in the grow-ing Huntly area is a lottery, according to disgruntled resident Ian Cahill.

“This has caused so much bad will,” Mr Cahill said this week.

“It’s not fair that some houses get their mail de-livered and others have to have a postbox, and Aus-tralia Post cannot give me any answers about why.”

Mr Cahill lives on the Midland Highway that bi-sects the township 10 ki-lometres north of central Bendigo.

Australia Post delivers to houses on Airey Street, in the area behind the main road, but have told Mr Cahill his house is not in the delivery zone.

Those households which do not get street delivery can apply for sub-sidised postboxes at the Huntly Post Of� ce, on the Midland Highway at the town’s centre.

Running a one-man campaign, Mr Cahill said he had become frustrated and depressed by the lack of information from Aus-tralia Post about why some houses get delivery and others not.

“I’m a � ghter,” Mr Ca-hill said.

“I’ve been told that I

need to stir the pot.”A spokesperson for

Australia Post said dis-tance from the post of� ce was “just one factor in determining if an area is suitable for street mail de-livery.

“There are other fac-tors, including number of properties, if the area

is safe and accessible, and what other delivery servic-es we currently provide.”

Mr Cahill has been told he must organise a petition of residents, to ask Australia Post to conduct a mail poll.

“If residents show sup-port for a change… we would be happy to under-take a mail poll,” Australia Post said.

The spokesperson said population density in an area did not automatically trigger street mail delivery.

Australia Post consid-ers facts such as accessibil-ity, distance between prop-erties, and the number of residents who want street mail delivery.

Mr Cahill said he hoped other Huntly resi-dents would support his campaign.

“This is a ridiculous situation, that I live on a main road within a kilo-metre of the Huntly post of� ce, and I can’t get mail delivered,” he said.

Wedding dress reconnects familyA PALE green, beautifully detailed, tiny-waisted wedding dress, � rst worn in England in 1850 by Mary Pearce who then mi-grated with her husband two years later, was the focus this week of close scrutiny.

It wasn’t just the su-perb stitching, and the waspish waist of this well-preserved gown, now in the collection of the Na-tional Gallery of Australia.

It was that some of the people who gathered around it at the Bendigo Art Gallery, as staff pre-

pared for the grand open-ing of their blockbuster White Wedding Dress show had not known they were related, until they learnt of the connection through the dress.

Mary Pearce’s dress was probably handed down the maternal line, great-great-great-great-grand-daughter Sue Napier, who lives in Bendigo, says.

It was her aunt, Betty Blunden, who gathered together the family his-tory, then collated by her son Andy, which led

to the connections be-ing made with the Bal-larat Pearces – Tony and daughter Rebecca – who were on hand to see the dress unpacked.

“All of a sudden, she’s come to life”, Sue said.

“I hadn’t even known of our connection with the Pearce family, but now there is all this happening, which has been wonder-ful for the family.”

The family admired the dress, which features roomy pockets for the practical bride, and were

pleased to learn from cu-rator Tansy Curtin that it was probably not made from white fabric because Mary would not have been rich enough.

The Pearce dress is part of the Australian exh-bition of historic and con-temporary gowns, curated by Bendigo Art Gallery to complement their ex-clusive showing of items from the Victoria and Al-bert Museum in London.

The White Wedding Dress will open on August 1, and runs until November 6.

CONGRATULATIONS to this week’s winner of The Puddler res-taurant and bar $100 voucher, Lor-raine McMahon.

Lorraine recalls her new hus-band Dan chivalrously leapt out of the car when they arrived at the honeymoon motel to open the door for his new bride and slipped � at on his back on the wet concrete.

Fortunately it didn’t spoil their wedding night.

Perhaps Dan can try again, more carefully or less enthusiasti-

cally, when they arrive at The Pud-dler to enjoy their prize.

Entries in the Win a Second Honeymoon competition have now closed. Watch next week’s Weekly for the announcement of the winners of the major prize, � ve nights at the Harbourside Re-sort, courtesy of Queensland Gold Coast Holidays.

Maintaining dignityHAVEN, formerly Loddon Mallee Housing Service, has launched a new ser-vice in Bendigo to help people maintain their in-dependence and dignity in the comfort of their own home.

Haven Home Assist’s team helps clients with everything from hygiene, showering, toileting, grooming through to meal preparation, laundering, running errands, washing dishes and general house-hold cleaning.

There is also a respite service to encourage peo-ple to take part in social and recreational activities as well as time out for car-ers in the home.

Haven Home Assist staff can also join clients on outings, shopping, or just spend time with them at home.

Haven Aged Care and Disability Services general manager Melissa Lenten said the program was � exi-ble and available to a wide range of adults, including the aged and frail, people with a physical or sensory disability, those with men-

tal health or behavioural issues, and people with an Acquired Brain Injury, dementia or other degen-erative neurological condi-tions

“We are able to provide a service that other services can’t or won’t do for a va-riety of reasons,” she said.

“We have had over 10 years experience in both the aged support and dis-ability � elds and have been able to draw on this knowledge for Haven Home Assist.”

Ms Lenten said Haven Home Assist staff held a formal quali� cation in

disability, aged care, com-munity services or home and community care and have undergone police and working with children checks.

For more informa-tion phone 5445 8111 or email home [email protected].

BIRDS, trees, the way a lizard moves through leaf litter, the formation of clouds – and how all these things are chang-ing in the Australian landscape – fascinate artist John Wolseley.

In his studio sur-rounded by the Whip-stick forest, he also pores over the scratchy maps made by the � rst white people to rush to the Bendigo district in search of gold.

“I’m obsessed with how it all works,” Wolse-ley, 73, says.

“I like to think I’ve invented a new sublime, where the landscape is awe-inspiring, and frightening, incredible.

“When you are on your own, you can see

what’s happening, what people haven’t seen, the way things are chang-ing.”

It was his passion for recording the natural world that led the Brit-

ish-born painter to team up with poet Barry Hill on Lines for Birds, a book of paintings and poems.

The pair will be at Bendigo library next Friday, July 29, to talk

about their collabora-tion on the book which documents birds from the scrubland of central Victoria to snow-covered Japan.

“We did not set out to compose a politically urgent book,” Wolseley and Hill say.

“But the shadow that falls upon the lives of many birds has, to some extent, made it so.

“The more we value a living thing the more we are unavoidably an-guished at the idea of its extinction.”

Lines for Birds is pub-lished by UWAP, $59.95.

John Wolseley and Barry Hill will be at Ben-digo Library on July 29, 5.30pm to 6.30pm, with drinks from 5pm (free event). To book phone 5449 2700.

Renewable energy uncertainty

I WAS astounded to hear com-ments attributed to Tony Abbott giving notice to renewable energy companies that because he has an agenda to roll back the carbon tax if he wins the next Federal elec-tion, he does not expect there will be much investment in re-newable energy initiatives in the meantime.

The implication here of course is that while he creates uncertainty in the investment environment, renewable energy companies will be reluctant to commit.

This is an astonishing insight into this person, at a time when there is more global investment in renewable energy than in the coal sector, and more job growth in the renewable energy sector than in the coal and petroleum industries combined.

That he is prepared to scuttle a vital future growth industry for Australia is an insult to the many people who have been striving to stimulate the renewable energy sector in Australia.

Here in Central Victoria the Central Victorian Greenhouse Al-liance is striving to position this region for renewable energy op-portunities.

We have seen the successful Central Victorian Solar Cities pro-gram established and many com-munity-based projects that have raised the awareness of energy re-lated issues.

Tony Abbott’s scuttling of the renewable energy sector comes from a man who four years ago supported an emissions trading scheme, has since stated that “cli-mate change is crap”, now says he believes in man-made climate change, has publicly stated that the best mechanism for pricing carbon is a carbon tax, and now suggests that the world we know is about to end and the sky will fall in if the carbon tax is adopted.

I despise the opportunistic style of Tony Abbott’s gutter poli-tics and deplore his comments that seek to create uncertainty in investment opportunities for all Australians.

Keith Reynard,Chairman,

Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance

I had a dream I HAD a dream.

Kevin Rudd was addressing caucus: “I’m challenging Julia. My policy is to abolish the carbon tax. On climate change, I will adopt

America’s policy, which is to do nothing.

“I will sack Garnaut and Flan-nery and all climate advisors. I will disband the Climate Change De-partment. I will send the asylum seekers to Nauru.

“Julia, I will appoint you Min-ister for Sport.”

Cotter Gray,Bendigo

Inconvenient truth

PRIME MINISTER Gillard’s argu-ment that the introduction of a carbon tax is the right thing to do is pretentious nonsense.

Just what it is that is right about increasing the cost of living and of doing business in Australia is unexplained.

It is also a mystery how export-ing jobs offshore is the right thing to do.

If a carbon tax is such a great idea, perhaps the Prime Minister can explain why major economies like the US, China, India and Can-ada have not imposed one and are not likely to in the near future.

This makes the option of Aus-tralia doing nothing not only a very real one, but an eminently sensible one.

By presenting this massive and ever increasing impost on the Aus-tralian people as the right thing to do, the government is merely

engaging in moral grandstanding, as is the wont of left wing govern-ments.

The usual problem that arises in the rush toward the moral high ground is that the � rst casualty is the truth.

The truth is that this new tax will do precisely nothing to alter the climate. No surprises there.

If the Prime Minister was com-pletely honest with the Australian people, she would own up to the fact that the climate has historical-ly always changed and will contin-ue to do so, despite the so called scienti� c consensus.

It was scienti� c consensus that once pronounced the earth � at, but it took a denying sceptic to prove it wrong.

If the Prime Minister showed some integrity, there would al-most certainly be at least a couple of other truths she would need to reveal.

One would be that the pro-posed carbon tax is simply noth-ing more than a tax grab.

The other is what is so trans-parently obvious to even those who give but a cursory glance toward the political goings-on in Canberra, and that is that the Greens are calling the shots.

We now have a party with only one representative in the lower house of the federal parliament ef-fectively running the country.

That’s the real inconvenient truth.

Gary Jude,Bendigo

Lighting review WHEN was the previous street lighting review carried out in Bendigo by Powercor at the re-quest of the City of Greater Bend-igo?

I am concerned about the lighting at the intersection of Spec-imen Hill-Marong Road and Ea-glehawk Road in Golden Square.

This is the most dangerous intersection in Bendigo, with a proposal to install traf� c lights at some time in the future, but in the meantime there is no street light-ing for traf� c for some distance from the dangerous intersection.

It is noticeable that there is plenty of street lighting in the Bendigo West Stadium area, but virtually nothing from then on.

With the heavy road traf� c in this area caused by development on Marong Road and the Bendigo West Stadium so close one would have thought Council would have considered the safety features of this intersection and requested re-ports from Powercor and VicRoads on street lighting.

with ... Ben Jones

and Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. I have Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford with me. Defence Minister Steven Smith is in town today to visit Thales’ North Bendigo factory today I believe.

Anthony – Australia’s two senior Defence Ministers, Steven Smith and Jason Clare, are in Bendigo today touring Thales to welcome the 800th Bushmaster the Federal Government has purchased. Thales is waiting on the government to announce whether it has won, against two international companies, a tender for a Bushmaster-style ute. This tender has been delayed, and I don’t think it will be announced then, but it is a good sign both these men are familiarising themselves with Bendigo’s Thales factory.

Ben – It is a massive contract and without getting too much ahead of ourselves, let’s hope that is positive news. Something that has been a lot more controversial is the Bendigo Road Transport Strategy. What is happening on Thursday night in regards to this?

Anthony – The whole process of community feedback and submissions takes the next step on Thursday night, with a series of presentations on behalf of those who have submitted. It should be a � ery event, with council looking at all aspects of the plan, including the much-maligned Gladstone Street through road.

Ben – Just before we wrap up, the big snooker tournament is in town this week, following hot on the heels from the Sheep and Wool Show. A big week for visitors and for Bendigo. Bendigo again continues to tick all the boxes when it comes to these events showcasing what Bendigo has to offer.

Anthony – It is fantastic. Most journalists in Bendigo have Google alerts for the city. So every time Bendigo is named in the web, we get an email. The last few days we have been getting alerts from all strange places and strange websites around the world, as the information about the Gold� elds Snooker Open is reported. It is a great event, is great for the city and organisers of the Open, as well as those who helped bring it to Bendigo, should be congratulated.

Located in the heart of the city, 14 Pall Mall, Bendigo.

We have been fortunate to have three famous chefs, come over from Malaysia, and Hong Kong to cook traditional Malaysian and Chinese dishes to tempt and satisfy the taste buds of the people of Bendigo.

v iewpoint opinionemail: [email protected]

THE City of Greater Bendigo and VicRoads are presently weeding their way through the hundreds of submis-sions from the community in response to the Draft Ben-digo Road Strategy Report re-leased in March.

At the time of the draft report’s release, this column predicted the reaction from the community would be of a scale not seen before; not just because people might not like what the report was advocating, but because the emergence of social media has provided a much more convenient and easy way to spread a message.

That prediction has been realised, and both the City and VicRoads would be pleased at the level of re-sponse to such an important plan for the future.

But I believe the report fails because it is too fo-cussed on providing solu-tions to our city’s current transport woes, and does not adequately address the ones we should all be able to see coming in the years ahead.

Much of Bendigo’s popu-lation growth for the next 30 years will be concentrated on the burgeoning north-west corridor of Maiden Gully and Marong, together with the Strathfieldsaye district to

the east and south-east of the Bendigo CBD. Yet the draft report, and the ensuing dia-logue, has a major focus on the flow of traffic in the main north-south corridor.

It’s not easy to drive across the city from west to east without being funnelled into the centre of Bendigo or its fringes. That’s already a problem, and it looks likely to only be a bigger problem in the future.

A few months ago when the draft report was first re-leased, I spoke with one of Australia’s leading road traf-

fic experts about a phenome-non created by a community building a new and superior road to try and address traffic problems but creating more traffic problems because more people end up wanting to drive the new road. Some-thing to think about….

The bigger picture in all this is the Bendigo CBD it-self. I don’t believe the CBD’s footprint is big enough, or growing enough, for a city growing at a rate of about 2.1 per cent per annum.

I believe our city plan-

ners and VicRoads, together with other levels of govern-ment, should be considering planning for greater invest-ment in our satellite cen-tres of Strath Village, Eagle-hawk and Centro Lansell. Our current CBD could not cope with a population of 200,000, which is what it will be in 35 years, nor will the roads leading into the city.

We should also be think-ing about developing dedi-cated park-and-ride stations across Bendigo to try and reduce the number of vehi-

cles entering the CBD each day. It seems we are fixated with building more roads to direct more traffic into the heart of our city, but the CBD itself has grown very little in the past couple of decades.

Park-and-ride facilities at Epsom, Strathdale, Eagle-hawk and Kangaroo Flat should be mandatory to any future transport plan for this city. It’s not just practical, it’s also environmentally more sustainable.

Park and ride the way to goPKwithPeterKennedy

Plan could workIT might be stating the bleeding obvious, but a solution needs to be found on the impasse sur-rounding the Draft Bendigo Road Transport Strategy.

Released in March, the strat-egy immediately raised protest.

While most of the plan is well supported, a small section of it has been vigorously opposed.

Locals in the Gladstone Street area at Quarry Hill fear their homes could be lost if the planned north-south link goes ahead.

The strategy looked at build-ing a through-road, possibly four lanes wide, through their quiet neighbourhood.

Rightly, they were fearful, de-spite VicRoads and the City of Greater Bendigo assuring them it was only a draft and could take up to 20 years to happen.

On the eve of last night’s pub-

lic hearings into submissions against the proposal, one of Ben-digo’s most well-respected resi-dents stepped in.

Don Erskine, whose idea to build the Bendigo Superpipe saved the city from running out of water – twice – believes there is a compromise.

Mr Erskine believes a through-road may not be needed at all and a series of exits could be the solu-tion.

Mr Erskine’s plan relies on a fact that has had very little cover-

age since March – that the road is not a thoroughfare; it is for local traffic.

Mr Erskine believes there will be no more trucks or heavy trans-ports travelling in the area than what needs to access the neigh-bourhood.

The plans, Mr Erskine said this week, are designed for internal traffic, not those wishing to by-pass the CBD altogether.

This makes sense, given VicRoads is worried about Bendigo’s popu-lation growth, not the growth of industry.

With that in mind, it is dis-appointing such a plan did not emerge at the beginning, and has not emerged since.

If Mr Erskine’s plan can be shown to work, thus solving the concerns of both VicRoads and local residents, then it needs to be supported wholeheartedly.

“It looks likely to only be a bigger problem in the future”

shred of supportVATMI Industries has re-ceived a grant of $93,940 from the Frances and Har-old Abbott Foundation to modernise the docu-ment destruction unit at its Bendigo recycling and recovery business.

The foundation, which is administered by Sandhurst Trustees, was established by prominent Bendigo businessman Harold Abbott in 1979.

In 2011, the Frances and Harold Abbott Foun-dation distributed almost $150,000 to community

groups and charitable or-ganisations in Victoria.

Other local dona-tions included $6000 for the Salvation Army’s Chill Out Space, $4650 for Bendigo’s Riding for the Disabled branch, $1530 for the Huntly CFA, $2500 for Eppalock Primary School, $20,000 for MS Australia, $10,680 for St Mark’s Anglican Church Long Gully and $3000 for the Eaglehawk Scout troop.

VATMI chief executive officer Greg Wasmund

said the funding would provide the company’s recycling and recovery business – Sandhurst En-terprise Recycling – with a vital boost.

“VATMI Industries is an Australian Dis-ability Enterprise that provides employment opportunities for more than 320 people with a disability,”he said.

“Sandhurst Enterprise Recycling has been in operation for more than 20 years and provides a range of services to the

public, including secure document destruction.

“By modernising our document destruction fa-cilities, we can continue offering high-quality re-cycling services to local businesses while provid-ing meaningful employ-ment in Bendigo to more than 60 local residents with a disability.”

Since 1983, the Ab-bott Foundation has assisted multiple com-munity groups and chari-table organisations in Victoria.

VISITING George Bobins at his herb farm in East Bendigo, is like Christmas morning – there are so many little surprises wait-ing under the tree.

Who would imagine that there is a thriving busi-ness on the edge of Ben-digo which specialises in supplying garnish to res-taurants?

If you love your pot of parsley on the kitchen windowsill, and have mint running riot in a corner patch of the garden, you’ll understand the pleasure of tasting fresh herbs.

For the serious herbie, the big temperature-con-trolled growing sheds at B&B Basil are sensual de-lights, a riot of colour and subtle aromas. Pinching off a stalk of chard, mint, lem-on balm or shiso promises a little burst of � avour in your mouth. Just a garnish? You’d be mad not to eat it, before you try the rest of your meal, relishing the moment.

B&B Basil started up eight years ago. The idea was to establish a small father and daughter enter-prise, to keep George off the streets (or off his be-loved motorcycle).

That idea took off, however, and now the family employs 32 people, growing 32 different va-rieties of herb, mostly as micro-greens – garnish-size herbs – which they sell to the restaurant trade.

Lucky Bendigo chefs

are able to visit and select their own punnets, but the bulk of their 25,000 plants each week go either to Mel-bourne for distribution to restaurants there or over-seas.

There is an increasingly keen market developing in Singapore and Hong Kong, George says. And right now, Korea is also looking good for this boutique and almost unique Bendigo-based enterprise.

“We have noted an in-crease in interest since the television cooking shows have become popular,” George says. “But the Aus-tralian housewife is not ready for micro-herbs.

“We concentrate on where our markets lie, and that’s keeping us busy enough.”

The Bobins came to Bendigo from Melbourne in 1972, and before the

herb business, they farmed ducks at Campbell’s Forest for the eggs.

It was daughter Susie’s idea to do the herbs, and they quickly established 4000 basil plants as their core business. When a Huntly watercress grower tried to talk them into buy-ing his business, they de-murred.

“That was not our bag, the cutting and packing – we do fresh and living herbs,” George said.

But then Susie had the brainstorm: “Why can’t we grow the watercress small?” And the basil, the thyme, the beetroot, celery and the rest.

The � rst stage of growth is the sprout. That’s followed by the micro-leaf, which is the garnish size that has done so well for B&B. Then comes the baby leaf, which is what you

will get if you buy a pot of B&B herbs at the Bendigo Community Markets each month

Beyond that, George doesn’t really want to know, but when a herb does go to seed, there is a niche opportunity for someone in Australia to harvest and sell them. B&B sources bulk coriander seeds from WA – the rest comes from overseas.

Online this week, Vicki Har-rington tells us how to make goat’s cheese and herb tart, and there is all the fossickers’ event news too.

PETER McLean’s observation about what is essential for good business could apply to just about all relationships in life.

“It is essential to be in good partnerships and working with the right people,” he writes in his new book, The Steps to Success.

It’s a step by step, week by week, self-help book, written in conjunction with Deakin University academic Vik Naidoo, designed to guide managers and community leaders towards building their own “value base”.

“Only by investing in yourself can you create value in your business and in the broader community,” Mr McLean says.

With experience as a manager and director, Mr McLean has

developed this holistic approach to business because, he says, it’s the best way to get results for both the business and for yourself.

“It’s too easy to think, when you’re running a business, ‘how does this get me my new boat’, but the data shows – it’s not just theory – that working on yourself and your own values does make your business more successful too,” he says.

“You build your own capability when there is a bigger commitment to yourself.

“If you have a more collaborative approach, it’s been proved that you can increase your business capability by 10 to 15 per cent.”

Mr McLean runs his consultancy business from his home

near Maldon, where he practises what he preaches, creating the kind of optimistic, open-minded approach to his own work and life as he advocates in his book.

He has built a model for excellence based on keys he and Naidoo have identi� ed, such as motivation, capability and opportunity.

“This is the the � rst time a methodology has focussed on the entrepreneur at a personal level,” he says.

“I am particularly concerned about our young people, who have brilliant ideas, and sometimes develop multi-million dollar businesses, but they are lacking good relationships and looking for mentors.

“There are a lot of business books, but learning about yourself is a powerful tool.”

Peter McLean will launch The Steps to Success at Dymocks Bendigo tomorrow, July 23, at 11.30am.

I WAS checking out the in-ternational newspaper sites on the internet this week and discovered a word.

Manorexia.Apparently it’s a prob-

lem impacting the young men of the UK.

It’s been around a while, but I have only just heard.

Body-conscious blokes are overdoing the dieting... and ending up with mano-rexia.

It’s a serious subject and a major health concern, so I’m not about to make light of it, but there’s fat chance of me getting it.

I have all the image is-sues and desires to be thin, I just lack the major ingredi-ent. Willpower.

If you could buy it in tablet form the inventor would be rich.

I also read on the same site how a UK comedy ac-tress shed 30 kilograms by drinking milkshakes.

Letting you into a little secret I did that one for six months once and the weight came off.

My hair started falling out too, but who cares when you lose 50kg.

Anyway, that was years

ago and I’m heading back up the scale.

I have a few photos taken at the time and bring them out once in a while to see how things could be again.

Shall I chase the milk-shakes or the manorexia?

Mrs Doctor had told me

I have to do it, the long-suf-fering Mrs Kendall has told me I have to do it... it’s just Mr Willpower who doesn’t agree.

On these cold winter days the comfort of a meal is amazing.

I can never understand

the concept of leaving something on the plate.

I reckon it has some-thing to do with my mum living through wartime ra-tioning.

She did her absolute best to make sure her chil-dren did not have to go without.

Can’t blame her totally, but it has certainly given me a mindset.

Anyway, how do I get into the mood for a mano-rexic look?

Not fully, just a 50 per cent attempt.

From the reports I have read it can be quite unpleas-ant for those who suffer, so I don’t want to go the whole way.

But knowing how my willpower is so crap I prob-ably won’t be able to stop myself.

Manorexia or not, some-thing has to be done.

I found an ad in the pa-per for a personal trainer who would visit me at home. How easy would that be?

That’s suits me, but doesn’t it just show how I want the easy way, no will-power to go to the gym.

People have suggested

swimming, but that’s where the self-image is a problem... I don’t even want to look at myself wallowing round the pool, let alone the rest of the patrons seeing what’s mak-ing the big splash.

“When Kendall jumps in, the water jumps out.”

Ahh, memories of those friendly jibes at school.

You should have heard

what they said when I couldn’t climb the rope in the gym.

For some reason I was pretty good at rugby.

Cycling’s a good idea for health, but that hurts at � rst. I went to the trouble of � xing up the old mountain bike too.

Only $170, but it went straight back in the shed and

is covered in hay and cob-webs again. That’s much the way I feel too.

This is a cry for help. Manorexia wouldn’t be healthy, I’m not sure about milkshakes again, cycling hurts, swimming I’m shy, and a home trainer is just plain lazy.

Guess it’ll just have to be calorie control. Waaaaaah.

Friday, July 22, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly www.bendigoweekly.com.au LIFE • 21

IN the early 1860s Irish-town was a hive of indus-try. Among the diggers holes and the puddling sludge there was a diverse range of activity in this less than desirable locality.

If we fast forward to the present time Irishtown is a convenient place, stra-tegic to Bendigo Health, Lake Weeroona and the centre of Bendigo.

Irishtown became a good address as early as the 1920s, as can be seen by the architecture of solid Californian bungalows and subsequent styles.

Bridge Street was the main thoroughfare lead-ing north, McCrae Street had not been completed. The sludge from puddling lay in great depth over the con� uence of the Back and Bendigo Creeks, pre-venting through access.

There were numer-ous framed tents, bark and slab huts, primitive weatherboard dwellings with earth chimneys and the occasional brick build-ing such as the new retort house of the Bendigo Gas Works dotted amongst the mined landscape.

By far the largest land-mark on this low � at area was the octagonal brick chimney of the Gas Com-pany, rising over 20 me-tres, it was visible from many parts of the develop-ing township.

As the gas works site had not been exhaustively mined for alluvial gold it meant that for over a cen-tury the edges of it were an attraction to fossickers.

In March, 1863 one gold seeker was engaged in

digging in the water chan-nel (the Bendigo Creek), near the gas works. This character was arrested by the civic authorities and subsequently appeared in court.

Bridge Street was the home of a number of Bendigo’s breweries as was the immediate adjacent area. However not all ac-tivities were lawful.

In December, 1862 a man of initiative, Thomas Harvey was charged with having an illicit still in Irishtown. No doubt he had suf� cient custom to make his activity worth-while until he was arrest-ed.

Harvey was not by any means the sole illicit still operator as during the hot weather of February, 1863 George Barry had also been found to operate

another illicit still. These bootlegging activities were frowned upon by the law.

By contrast there were regular applications be-fore the council to mine in certain public areas.

Thomas Doyle and his mates petitioned the council to allow them to mine ground in lower Irishtown, opposite Mr Hood’s Forge.

Similarly another mining application had been received from Crip-pen and Company, they wanted to mine on the footpath opposite Hop-per’s Cider Manufactory of Irishtown.

In most instances the council acceded to these requests to mine as they saw this as an opportunity to make improvements to a roadway or footpath.

Part of the permis-

sion granted would be a stipulation ensuring the enhanced condition in which the area to be mined had to be left.

Council of� cers su-pervised these activities so the diggers were in ef-fect making municipal improvements, grubbing out tree stumps, � lling in holes with gravel and lev-elling the ground while the material put through their cradles or puddling machines perhaps yielded them some reward.

In July, 1862, there was a request from a number of Irishtown residents to improve the footpath from the Gas Company Works to the Crooked Billet Hotel.

This was deferred un-til such time as a proper storm water channel was formed (the Bendigo

Creek). The Crooked Billet

Hotel was near the Third White Hill, the closest hotel today would be the Captain Cook.

Another petition in July 1862 was submitted to the council asking that the footpath opposite the Gas Works be made navi-gable. Those passing the site found it dif� cult to hold their breath for a suf-� cient length of time until they had passed the “un-wholesome odours” ema-nating from the works.

Opposite the inter-section of Lucan and Bakewell streets was an-other hotel called the Baker’s Arms, which had problems with the slush that was in the street dur-ing winter. The Baker’s Arms Hotel, was renamed the Tyson’s Reef.

should you be lucky enough to � nd a job with such a de-scription.

As managing cu-rator of La Trobe Uni-versity’s Visual Arts Centre in Bendigo, Paul Northam’s comes pret-ty close.

It’s one he takes se-riously, preferring the spotlight shine on the artists whose work is programmed in its gal-leries, than himself.

But I thought it necessary to discover more about Paul when we met to talk about the call for artist pro-posals for 2012, which the VAC is spruiking.

A former artist him-self who chose this work over a chance-in-a-lifetime painting scholarship, I found him quiet and passion-ate. And inspired by his work at the VAC, mak-ing opportunities hap-pen for artists not only

from our region, but around Australia and the world.

“It’s the best job going,” he says.

Aside from pro-gramming some fan-tastic public events and shepherding the artist-in-residence pro-gram – which attracts practitioners from all over the world – Paul engages in exciting conversations with an ever-growing audi-ence.

“Our numbers are very pleasing,” he says of the Centre’s 13,000+ visitors annu-ally. “They’re increasing steadily.. and we are slowly raising the cen-tre’s pro� le”.

How? “We’re work-ing hard to break down the barrier – percep-tion – that it’s just a Uni space, not for the general public. That it’s somehow academic or removed from every-day experience”.

He squarely at-tributes this to the “strength of the exhib-iting program – our pri-mary reason for being”.

I’m reminded here of the Sandra Bernhard quote, “without you I’m nothing”. Without the artists particular to the VAC, it would be just another gallery.

Getting the 2012 program right is Paul’s current mission.

Proposals are open for the Access Gallery, a space dedicated to Central Victorian art-ists (13 exhibitions are available). The VAC Gal-lery is “open to artists, art organisations and curators who are re-gional, from interstate or overseas” (eight).

“Anyone from any-where,” Paul says when I ask him who is eligible to apply.

“There is no age limit, you don’t need a degree or a huge ex-hibition history, there is no preference given to La Trobe sta� or stu-dents. All proposals are judged on merit.

“The strength of the proposal is every-thing.

“What we look for is the ‘curatorial ratio-nale’. What is it about? What is the theme you’re addressing with the public?

“If they demon-strate that, then we know we can expect

a strong and cohesive exhibition”.

And what is the selection committee – a mix of folk from the Uni, a BAG senior cura-tor and Paul – looking for when they consider proposals? “The best contemporary art we can show in regional Victoria!” he says.

“Edgy, di� cult, radical, interesting – we want our visitors to be challenged, to work a bit. To give them an art experience that wouldn’t otherwise be available in regional Victoria”.

Numbers for pro-posals have doubled annually since Paul began at the VAC three years ago, something he’s very proud of.

“To an artist, an exhibition is the most important thing hap-pening in their life at that moment,” he says.

“We try to accom-modate what they want to achieve as much we can on a very tight budget – we get good feedback.

“Our mission is to be the best in the re-gion,” he smiles. He means it too...

with con-t e m p o -raries Hol-ly Throsby

and Sally Seltmann, was an experience of varying perspectives.

“Working with them shook me up a bit, in be-ing able to get inside someone else’s world for a bit,” she says.

“When you’re so used to singing your own stu� , you get into your own patterns.”

It was also an exer-cise in forward planning. Based in di� erent cities, the girls would schedule meetings months in ad-vance, eventually meet-ing up in New York to re-cord the self titled album.

Produced by all three, Blasko describes the LP both reminiscent of her back catalogue, yet some-thing totally di� erent.

“It’s similar in that the three of us have similar tastes in music and ideals when recording, we like to keep things pretty or-ganic,” she says.

“But it’s just so di� er-ent being a ‘band’.

“Sharing songs with one another, opening up to each other musically.”

Contributing four songs each, writing was completed in solitude, although there was a de-gree of collaboration in “Bring Me Back”.

“The vocal part that is kind of like the cho-

rus came together as we sang together,” she says. It was an early demo of “Rest Your Head On My Shoulder” a “round-the-piano folk song” however that cemented the be-lief Seeker Lover Keeper would actually work.

“I think it paved the way for the style of the re-cord,” she says.

“When Holly and I � rst heard it, it made the al-bum seem possible.

“From this simple, gospel-like song we re-alised that we wanted the record to sound very natural, piano, guitar, drums and bass and for it to feature lots of singing and harmonies.

“I suppose it gave it a direction to aim for.”

It became the album’s “trigger point”.

“I think it did lyrically too... the idea of life and music being a shared ex-perience, of being there for one another,” she says.

“It’s a beautiful senti-ment.”

Although � rm friends, there were di� cult mo-ments during the New York recording. Especially on one di� cult day, re-sulting in all three crying outside the studio.

“I think we all re-alised how di� cult it was to make an album in 10 days!” she laughs.

“There’s so much to do and a lot of pressure to get the feeling right.

“It was essentially a really intense couple of weeks with little time to do anything else.”

The origins of Seeker

Lover Keeper go back to 2004; the year all three released their debut al-bums: Throsby’s On Night, Seltmann’s The Last Beau-tiful Day, and Blasko’s The Overture and the Under-score.

“We’ve all really been friends since the year our � rst albums came out,” she says.

“We’d meet up from time to time at shows and we were simultaneously fans of each other’s mu-sic.”

Seltmann and Thros-by unknowingly went to the same high school, but the idea of a collaboration grew legs during a late night drinking session after one of Seltmann’s shows, at the Town Hall Hotel in Newtown.

“The three of us end-ed up at a pub together, talking about our lives and music after the show,” she says

“That was probably the � rst time we men-tioned the idea of work-ing together on some-thing.”

Seeker Lover Keeper has already inspired Blas-ko’s next album.

“I think it’s inspired all of us to move forward with our next albums,” she says.

“Seeing two people you really respect at work and the way that they do things gives you some-thing to think about.”

THE HUB

An Eaglehawk initiative aims to put the corner shop back on the map

IF the Hub can pull off their plans to create an up-to-date equivalent of the good old-fashioned corner grocery store in their Eaglehawk premises, it may become a blue-print for similar enterprises across the state.

“We’re being viewed as a mod-el of what this can become,” the Hub’s manager Gavin Fisher says.

“It is a risk to go there, but the plan is to become self-sustaining within a year.

“If this goes right, this can be a model that can be duplicated state-wide.”

The Hub opened four years ago in an empty milkbar with a residence attached, redeveloped by Bendigo Access Employment with funding from community renewal schemes.

The idea was to create not only a milkbar so locals would not al-ways have to go a couple of kilo-metres to Eaglehawk’s main street or into Long Gully, but also meet-ing rooms, a homework centre and a tool-equipped workshed.

With that round of funding now completed, and the centre

needing to put itself into a solid – and sustainable – � nancial posi-tion, the plans are to create a so-cial-enterprise store as an adjunct to their already established cater-ing business.

“It has always been our phi-losophy to make a difference in the community you’re in,” Access Employment director Michael Langdon says.

“In this part of Eaglehawk there is a strong presence of public hous-ing, with new houses being added all the time, so it makes sense to create a social enterprise arm of our existing catering business.

“We must stem the tide on the losses the centre is making, and while this model is not aimed at making huge pro� ts, we do want it to be built on strong business principles so that it can pay for it-self.”

A couple of months ago, the Hub took over the cafe at the My-

ers Street end of St Andrews Ave-nue, in the BTEC building.

They moved their catering business from Bright Street, to the larger kitchen facilities in central Bendigo, which has also improved

their ability to deliver to more ad-dresses.

“I can now make � ve catering deliveries driving about 13 kilo-metres,” Mr Fisher says. “When I delivered from our Eaglehawk premises, it could take me about 75 kilometres to do the same run.”

From Access Employment’s point of view, the expansion into the city cafe has given them the op-portunity to employ people with disabilities, which extends their core business of training in order to � nd placements in the work-force for their clients.

Right now, Mr Fisher is putting the � nishing touches to his busi-ness plan for the social-trading enterprise they are banking on to

lift the Hub out of a precarious � nancial situation and into self-sustaining pro� tability.

“Finding the sources of fund-ing isn’t easy,” Mr Langdon says.

“Social enterprise is in its in-fancy in Australia, although it’s better developed in England, where governments are really get-ting behind the concept.

“The concept is you need to be sustainable, so you can be viable in the long-term.”

The Hub is being mentored by Godfrey Agius at Melbourne-based Social Traders, which was set up to encourage the development of commercially viable social enter-prises in Australia.

Mr Fisher says he is “quietly

If this goes right, this can be a model that can be duplicated statewide

And she knows it. “Oh yeah, you

should hear what’s on my hard drive,” she laughs.

“I’ve got all sorts of stu� . It’s to-tally extreme.

“When I’m left alone to my own devices and I’m writing in my studio, my main stu� is really dark tribal jun-gle stu� .

“Like pop Sepultura without met-al guitars if you will, like Gregorian chants with tribal drums.”

An eclectic collection suits the ballsy McLeod, who � rst got attention as the lead singer of The Superjesus, who has become known as a per-former with an expansive musical pal-ate – not just hard dance and softer rock, she’s also a sucker for a well writ-ten pop tune.

“I’m obsessed with pop phrasing so I listen to the most commercial mainstream pop music,” she says.

“The only reason I’m listening to it is because I’m studying the way they drop the vocal rhythms.

“I’m obsessed with it. I remember when I � rst heard ‘Hold It Against Me’ by Britney Spears in my car, I was like ‘great chorus, well done, I love this’.

“I’m really into the pop format and pop craft.”

She admires the doyens of the

pop songwriting world, Max Martin and Dr Loop.

“They have studied old songs and picked all the best bits,” she says of their winning formula.

“They put a lot of time into it. Dr Loop spent three months on a single.

“They hone it, hone it, hone it, un-til it’s amazing.”

For McLeod, the true artists are working behind the scenes.

“Cathy Dennis wrote (Britney Spears classic) ‘Toxic’,” she says.

“Her voice sounds exactly like Britney’s, so Cathy Dennis is singing most of that song, Britney’s hardly even on it.

“It’s not Britney, it’s the people she surrounds herself with are just brilliant.”

The serial genre jumper has learnt that goodness can exist in every genre, in every song.

“There’s always something in it,” she says.

“It doesn’t matter who the vocal-ist is, what they’re wearing, most of the time it’s got nothing to do with them, in the pop world anyway.

“It’s the geniuses behind the scenes making the craft.”

McLeod knows a thing or two about “the craft”. She learnt plenty through Superjesus guitarist and chief song scribe Chris Tenant, during the creation of their breakout album, 1997’s Sumo.

“I went to the songwriting school of hard knocks man, it was hectic,” she laughs.

“He’d (Tenant) put an enormous amount of pressure on me every time we’d write a song... it was really hard but it made me a better songwriter a lot quicker than I would have working with somebody who did it nastily.”

The success of The Superjesus, on

the back of Sumo, in the late 90s was a heady time for McLeod. The band won two ARIAs, with Sumo taking out the Best Rock Album award.

“That was all a massive whirl-wind,” she says.

“I remember every single day that passed was something exciting and scary that was going on.

“It all happened so far I never ac-tually got the chance to sit and re� ect on any of it.

“I couldn’t sit back and go ‘Wow, look what we’ve achieved’.

“It was really bang, bang, bang, it was really full on, and a lot of pres-sure.”

McLeod obviously has a thing for pressure, as she’s � ung herself back into the fray since returning to Aus-tralia after � ve years abroad.

“Lately I thought ‘I’m doing too much, there’s just too much stu� go-ing on’,” she says.

There’s a solo acoustic tour about

to kick o� , a solo project in the works, and then there’s Screaming Bikini.

Described as a showcase of some of her � nest work of the past four years, Screaming Bikini was recorded in a cellar in Brooklyn, a cabin in Mali-bu and an old theatre in London. And it’s grown into something far bigger than � rst planned.

“What’s started as a bit of a fun side project has now turned into probably my main focus,” she says.

“I’m going to throw all my energy into it this year.

“It was a whole lot of songs that I’d recorded whilst recording other people’s records when I was travelling across the states, and in London.

“We put it all together and we thought this is a really good album, but it was di� erent to what I was do-ing at the time (electro and dance).

“I wasn’t going to tour it or put a band together or anything, I thought I’d just whack it out and keep doing

the solo stu� .”Her acoustic tour will take in some

of the new Screaming Bikini songs. “I haven’t been on the road in

Australia for � ve years,” she says.“It’s a good way to reintroduce

myself to the market, to say ‘Hey, I’ve been away for � ve years, this is what I have done in the past and here’s a little taste of where I’m going’.

“I’ve done rock, pop and hardcore dance club. It’s a good way to show-case and intertwine the whole lot.”

McLeod could be viewed as a symbol of the gradual meshing be-tween music over the past decade.

“The dance thing just triggers something in my brain that I’ve never had before,” she said.

“I think they (dance and rock) have been rivals in the past, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.”

con� dent” that it is all developing in the right direction, and that the store will be able to build on the catering side of their increasingly busy business.

“We hope to be able to make it a mini-mart that’s useful to the community, like the old-fashioned general store,” he says.

“We’re looking at setting up a veggie exchange too, because a lot of people grow vegetables in this area, and we also want to promote healthy eating.”

Access Employment already runs the PepperGreen Farm site at Thunder Street in North Bendigo, where the popularity of the veggie patch has inspired them to think about how they can market vegeta-

bles within the community.Mr Fisher knows there is strong

competition for the shopping dol-lar but he hopes to be able to of-fer the locals a good deal on their bread and milk, as well as the ad-vantage of super-fresh vegetables and other products.

“Even in the milkbar, we no-ticed that when the multi-nationals were cutting the price of bread and milk it had an effect on our busi-ness, but we hope we will be able to do a deal with a local supplier so we are competitive,” he says.

He is working the � gures to make sure his social trading enter-prise has the best opportunity to succeed.

“You have a room being used

for � ve or six hours a week, that isn’t economical,” he says.

He is also taking a close look at the use of the Men’s Shed alongside the Hub. With the new Long Gully shed open, Mr Fisher believes it would be more pro� table for the Hub’s Men’s Shed to concentrate on repair work, so you could � x your lawnmower or other equip-ment there.

That’s a discussion currently under way: woodworker Gary Per-ry, hard at work this week making nesting boxes for regional parks, is keen to see the facility stay as it is.

“I don’t want to go over into Long Gully,” he says.

“This is good here. Gets me out of the house, and keeps me busy.”

A neW era dawned last week in furniture retailing with the sale of one of Bendigo’s most recognised furniture retailers, McGovern’s Homemakers Furniture & Sleepzone Bedding formerly run by Mal and Jason McGovern.

new owners the Knight family will continue to provide excellent service and choice under the name, Bendigo Homemaker Furniture & Sleepzone Bedding, at the same convenient location in Marong Road.

They also know a thing or two about furniture retailing with more then 35 years experience in the furniture trade and their First Choice Furniture and SleepWorld store in Wills Street, which will still continue to offer great value.

“Arthur and Denise are a great couple who have the same old school values as me and will continue the tradition of great personal

service that has worked well for me for more than 40 years,” Mal said.

In fact the same great service is guaranteed to continue with a Mal’s sister staying on and helping overseeing the changeover, after more than three decades of service.

“We will still offer well known quality products at

extremely competitive prices with courteous professional service,” Arthur said. “With well known brands such as Jason Lazy Boy and Sealy Sleepmaker.”

THe Bendigo Weekly recently enjoyed the hospitality of Sabah House, just up from the fountain in Pall Mall under the management of David Leung.

This is the place to be if you’re in Bendigo or can’t get away to Asia to experience the mouth-watering delights of fine Asian cuisine.

David has even secured the service of four international chefs from both Malaysia and Hong Kong to ensure diners can experience the truly authentic tastes and flavours of Malaysian and Chinese dishes.

All at reasonable prices too – see the advertisement on page 12 for the menu of the great range of Workers’ Lunch Specials for $8, Monday to Friday including a can of soft drink.

We were fortunate enough to enjoy the Sung Choi Boa as starters, pictured, with minced quail and pork

wrapped in lettuce leaves providing a delicate contrast.

A smorgasbord of dishes followed including chicken satays with a not too over-powering peanut sauce stimulating our taste buds.

Followed by pan-fried pork dumplings and a delightful Massaman curried chicken with nice light serving of steamed rice.

The tender Cantonese steak and steamed vegetables proved the most popular of the dishes we sampled with the tender beef

contrasting beautifully with the rich sauce.

Pork bellies and a relatively hot Belachai spinach dish laced with garlic followed, before finishing off with traditional Chinese Red Bean pancake desert.

A great selection of local wines is also on available at reasonable prices as well as local and imported beers.

Sabah House open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, dine-in or takeaway at 14 Pall Mall, Bendigo, phone 5442 8819.

IF you’ve always wanted to experience real Chinese traditional massage, foot reflexology or cupping therapy, you now have the opportunity.

Lansell Tai Ji Chinese Traditional Massage recently celebrated the grand opening of their third massage shop at the Centro Lansell Shopping Centre.

Chinese traditional massage seeks to establish a harmonious flow of qi, or energy, throughout the body.

It does so by brushing, kneading, rolling and rubbing areas of the body while stimulating acupressure points between the joints.

Since pain is considered to be caused by a lack of free-flowing qi and blood, Chinese massage treatment creates movement and is therefore seen as a powerful and effective treatment for pain relief.

Massage therapy is also beneficial for those suffering

from work-related stress.Foot reflexology is based

on a system of reflex areas that are an approximation of the body’s anatomy, the idea being that working on the feet will cause a physical change to the body.

Feet help set the body’s tension level, making foot reflexology an easy way of interrupting stress signals and resetting equilibrium.

Cupping therapy uses cups to create localised pressure by way of a vacuum. This causes the blood to

form in the area and instigate healing.

Cupping also helps release toxins in the body.

As a special opening offer, Lansell Tai Ji are offering a 20 per cent off all massage rates from Monday to Friday.

Or buy one and get one free for a 45 minutes massage at the weekend.

Special offers end July 31.Open seven days, Tai Ji is

at Shop 27, Centro Lansell Shopping Centre, next to the Post Office.

Stress Down Day

GLORIA and Bill Harris can attest to the bene ts of the Bendigo Carers Support Group since joining four

years ago after a chance meeting with long term committee member Lorraine Swift on a bus trip.

The Bendigo Carers Support group has assisted hundreds if not thousands of people in the day-to-day care of a partner or friend since 1992, when it originated as an initiative of the Bendigo City Council before amalgamation.

As well as practical ideas and hints to help with looking after partners, the group enjoys an active social calendar with regular day and even overnight trips.

They also provide practical and comforting advice to those facing the responsibility of regularly caring for a loved one. Last year 22 members of the Bendigo Carers Support Group travelled by ferry to Tasmania for seven days.

“Everyone looks after each other,” said Lorraine Swift, who went with her husband Bill.

“The support is absolutely wonderful,” Monthly meetings are held the last

Monday of the month at the Long Gully Community Centre, Havilah Road, Long Gully from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

With up to two dozen members regularly attending with and without those they care for, in an informative, supportive environment for a meeting and morning tea to exchange thoughts and practical ideas.

For more information, contact The Bendigo Carers Support Group’s secretary/facilitator Lorraine Swift on 5443 8970.

MANY people ask, what is Bowen Therapy?

It is a gentle technique performed over muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerve bundles.

Moves or activations are applied across a speci c area of the body having a profound effect of healing and relaxation.

In an authentic Bowen session, there are a set of moves, then the therapist will leave the body to rest for a couple of minutes before resuming.

Bowen therapy isn’t massage, Bowen massage, Bowen rubs or continual moves.

Bowen isn’t performed with a mixture of Bowen moves and massage or other combinations.

Bowen has an anti-in� ammatory affect on the body, adding anything else will eliminate the therapeutic effects of Bowen Therapy.

By adding anything else to Bowen, it can confuse the brain and body leaving the client feeling ill with the treatment useless.

Some people get off the massage table feeling a million dollars, for some it can take a day or two or even a few treatments especially if the medical problem is chronic, before starting to feel better.

Many people therefore claim that Bowen Therapy

doesn’t work.“This is why it is

important to seek a registered Bowen Therapist, who is fully trained.” Samantha Hamilton of

Bendigo Body and Soul said.

Bowen therapists can practice with varying levels of training.

The Diploma of pro ciency, taught more than a decade ago, was a short course held over a few of days and touches on the basics and is not recognised by your health insurance.

The Certi cate can

take up to 18 months to complete and covers the basics, recognised by the state training board and some levels of health insurance are covered.

The Diploma can take more than three years to complete and is fully recognised by your health insurance and state training board.

Make sure your therapist is registered with the Bowen Association of Australia and Bowtech, to ensure you are getting the original Bowen Technique.

If registered, you know your practitioner will adhere to strict guidelines and attend further regular education seminars.

You will receive a receipt for Bowen, not other natural therapies.

If you’ve had Bowen and it hasn’t worked, would like to try it for the � rst time or are looking for a therapist, call Sam on 5442 6276 at the new premises of Bendigo Body and Soul, 239 McIvor Highway, Strathdale. You won’t be disappointed.

Make sure it’s really

By adding anything else to

Bowen, it can confuse

THE Youth Justice Group Conferencing Program at CentaCare gives young

offenders a chance to make up for what they have done.

Jason never really knew his Dad, who died when Jason was three, which resulted in his mum struggling with her loss and depres-sion.

Jason left school early but secured an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker and had earned the reputation of being a diligent worker.

In the third year of his appren-ticeship he moved out of home and got employment with a different employer.

Around this time relationship dif� culties emerged with his girl-friend along with dif� culties with his new employer.

He started to drink to get away from it all and it was at this point he committed the offences.

Drunk he broke into a house next door to his mother’s, helping himself to food and alcohol before picking up the spare keys to a van in the driveway.

Jason reversed out the driveway, crashed it into a car across the street and � ed the scene.

When approached by police, and presented with the evidence,

he accepted what he had done. The victims were his mother’s

neighbours, who had been kind to him in the past and he felt devas-tated.

The police advised him to have no contact with his neighbours for fear of making matters worse.

He wanted to apologise, to make things better but felt ashamed.

When given the opportunity to do group conferencing, Jason was keen, as well as nervous, about the neighbour’s willingness to partici-pate.

Could they face him after what he had done?

Would they give him a chance to explain how he felt?

Each party spoke openly to each other about the incident and the impact on their lives.

“I was just so hurt that you didn’t come over and apologise when it happened. I thought you thought more of us than that. If you had done that, I think things would have been much better,” a neighbour said.

Jason repeatedly apologised and spoke openly about his shame and fear about how they would react, and fear of making things worse.

Neighbours from the street discussed what else might help to

repair the relationships that had been damaged.

Jason agreed to pay for the damages involved and commit-ted to counselling for alcohol and personal issues.

Jason expressed his hope to return to work to � nance these commitments.

A neighbour offered to help him with his resume with neigh-bours af� rming his worth and their belief in him.

Within two weeks Jason had started another apprenticeship, impressing his new employer with his work ethic.

Returning to court for sentenc-

ing the Magistrate commended Jason on his positive attitude and handed down a good behaviour bond, without conviction.

Jason is hopeful about his future, he has experienced grace – and for Jason this has been transforming.

At CentaCare people in need � nd new hope with individuals and families getting opportunities to start again with relationships with loved ones and their com-munity.

What’s New in 2011:

There have been changes to tax

legislation which may affect you, such as tax deductions for natural

disaster donations, tax exemptions as a result of recent

natural disasters and changes that affect

Newstart, Youth allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY recipients.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

STEWARTS ACCOUNTANTS is one of 72 accountancy practices across Australasia that has been awarded

the Proactive Accountants Network logo.The move will see small business

clients being offered more than just the usual, compliance tick-box services by their accountants.

“Local businesses savvy enough to employ us will be better prepared and less stressed because we’re proactive,” Stewarts director Garry Murdoch said.

“Proactive Accountants Network provides us with the support and intellectual property in terms of process to ensure quality of delivery and innovation of services. This translates to money saved for clients and a more positive result for all.”

Proactive Accountants Network CEO Rob Nixon said he designed the network to ensure member accountants were offering the best possible service and a genuine, cost effective alternative.

“Many fi rms are typically reactive ‘history writers’ acting as the government’s hand maiden. These guys provide their clients with the bare minimum,” Rob said.

“Most fi rms do not visit or proactively call their clients, they do not make an effort to build lasting relationships with their clients, they do not offer a fi xed price up front and they want to charge for every six minutes of time,” Garry said.

Branches of some mid-tier fi rms along with sole practitioners, and multi-partner fi rms have all joined forces, giving the Proactive Accountants Network an initial combined annual turnover of more than $128 million.

Stewarts Accountants centrally located at 141 View Street, phone 5442 2960 or alternatively view their website at www.stewartscpa.com.au or www.proactiveaccountants.net for more information.

TEAMWORK: Gavin James, John Stewart, Anna Muytjens, Laura Mather and Sue Purcell.

CYCLING SPORTSHORTSFOOTY UPSET

MARYBOROUGH caused one of the upsets of the Bendigo Football Netball League’s senior football season on the weekend, defeating perennial power-house South Bendigo.The Borough kicked seven goals to � ve in the second half to win 11.14.80 to 8.14.62 at Princess Park.Matthew Bond kicked four goals for the winners.A six-goal-to-two second half saw Eaglehawk down Strath� eldsaye by six points at Canterbury Park.Sandhurst defeated Kangaroo Flat by 39 points and Castlemaine had a strong 78-point win over Kyneton.In the battle between the top two, Golden Square defeated Gisborne 18.15.123 to 13.6.84.Next round, two matches are a high-light over the split round.Sandhurst will take on Maryborough at the QEO in the battle for sixth place tomorrow.Gisborne will host Eaglehawk in the other match of the round next Satur-day.Ladder-leaders Golden Square should decimate cellar-dwellers Kyneton at Kyneton tomorrow, Strath� eldsaye hosts Kangaroo Flat and South Ben-digo is at home to Castlemaine next Saturday.

THUNDER STRIKESBENDIGO Thunder took second spot from Lalor when the two sides met at Dower park in Round 13 of the VWFL’s North West Conference on the week-end.The Thunder won 4.4.28 to Lalor’s 1.6.12 in wintery conditions.The Thunder kept Lalor scoreless in the � rst half of the match, kicking 3.2 themselves.“Knowing that we have the � tness to � nish off strong, we went into the sec-ond half con� dent that we could hold out, but Lalor really stepped up the pace in the second half,” coach Rus-sell Jeffrey said.“If they capitalised on even a couple of their shots at goal, we were in serious trouble.”Lalor only scored three points, but still managed to outscore Bendigo, who only managed two points in the third quarter. “Lalor are a strong, physical side with some great players, they really knocked our girls around so it has done us a lot of good having a game like this head-ing into the � nals,” Jeffrey said.The win against Lalor cemented the Thunder in second spot on the ladder behind North Ballarat, with only one game left of the season.The Thunder will take on North Ballarat in the � nal game of the year in Ballarat on Sunday.Last time they played, the Thunder lost by four points.“It’s great to be in this position in our � rst season, we have had a taste of where we want to be, we just have to continue to work hard to attain it,” Jef-frey said.

NETBALL TIGHTTHE top four of the Bendigo Football Netball League’s senior netball com-petition is squashed, after leaders Golden Square were defeated on the weekend.The Square went down to fourth-placed Gisborne 28-42.There are only six points between the top four sides.The other top-four teams – Eaglehawk and Sandhurst – had comfortable wins.The Dragons defeated Kangaroo Flat 46-32, and Eaglehawk accounted for Strath� eldsaye 50-22.South Bendigo scraped home in a thriller against Maryborough 36-35.Round 14 will be split over two weeks, with Strath� eldsaye hosting Kangaroo Flat and Sandhurst taking on Mary-borough tomorrow.South Bendigo hosts Castlemaine and Gisborne hosts Eaglehawk next Saturday.

OBSESSIONS – we all have them in varying de-grees, ranging from the excessive compulsive to the other end of the scale.

Weight loss and con-trol has become an ob-session, not such a bad focus to have if the aim is healthy living.

The TV reality shows started off with a focus on the reduction of weight being the main goal.

There is no doubt there is now a subtle shift to the holistic view of the mind and heart having to be in order to achieve goals of any kind.

The focus on sorting out relationships, rst with self and then others is played out on screens, right in our living rooms.

With commitment and desire of heart and mind, regular exercise and a regulated diet, starting to lose weight becomes more than just a weight loss goal but a lifestyle change that can be sustained.

The main factor has to be commitment to change as without a

strong commitment there is no foundation to build on.

As cyclists we have seen not only weight loss for the body but also the bikes we ride becoming an obsession.

The frames have come through many amaz-ing changes of materi-als and there have been considerable changes to the weight and strength

frames.To the point where

for competition there has been imposed a mini-mum weight of no less than six kilograms. It is reputed some frame mak-ers are faced with how to add weight to keep within the allowed limitations.

The obsession of some cyclists has become deceptive in that their quest to have the lightest bike frame, the quickest set of wheels and tyres, when their body weight may still be the real issue in power per weight ratio.

There is no doubt that hill climbing is where this is most obvious – the lighter the bike and body the greater chance of get-ting up the hill faster and more easily.

I wonder how many people carry a weight of unresolved anger or frus-tration.

We all recognise that cycling can free us from day to day burdens and 10-15 minutes into a ride our minds are clear and we become quite relaxed.

As cyclists we are con-fronted with shared road users that don’t cope with the seconds it can take to wait to get around us on the road.

Do we as cyclists have similar attributes where our tolerance off the bike is not much better?

Want to do better on and off the bike? Make sure you are not carrying these hidden burdens, choose to make cycling an obsession until you nd real freedom.

Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing

PROUD: Toby Parkinson.

Tributes from Toby

Finding the freedom in cycling

NEWLY appointed presi-dent of the Bendigo Mountain Bike Club, Toby Parkinson, has paid tribute to the tireless ef-forts of former commit-tee members and their contribution to the sport.

Mr Parkinson said two of the club’s found-ers, John Harvey and Murray Willet, had stood down from their respec-tive president and vice president positions af-ter many years of work-ing for the club.

‘’Both Murray and John have been respon-sible for being the major parties in building our club to the successful club that it is today,’’ he said.

‘’Their input will be sorely missed as the club enters a new chapter of

its life.’’Mr Parkinson said

that for the few years he had been involved in the committee, he had been worried about the day Mr Harvey decided that enough is enough.

‘’John has carried the club on his shoulders by being more than just a president; he has com-mitted a lot of his life to

the club,” he said. ‘’John has lled the

position far beyond what is required as a president and certainly leaves a big pair of cycling shoes to ll.’’

Mr Parkinson said he was excited and proud that the committee be-lieves in him, and that he intended to do his best to support the club.

He implored all members to consider

what they could do to give back to the club to help improve the or-ganisation. He said it is important to ensure that the rest of the committee does not get left with too much work.

“John has carried the club on his shoulders”

WEIGHTY ISSUE: But is the bike the burden?

Your horoscopeAries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):A new situation may bring up old anger at this time. It is important to leave dark energies, such as the desire for revenge, in the past. You do not need to prove anything now. It is possible that you will accidentally slip into old language and behavior that is no longer appropriate for you. Set it aside as soon as you hear yourself.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):You may not be feeling quite comfortable with yourself this week. It appears your mind is in con� ict with your feelings. Do the best you can to deal with this issue up front, perhaps by journaling or discussing it with a friend. Keep in mind that it is not a mandate for you to settle the dilemma right now.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):This week brings a drama with your signi� cant other that does not even really belong in that department. Your ego may be a bit bruised, but the real wound happened long ago. It is not fair to demand that your partner compensate for injuries of your childhood.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):This week you may sense a kind of agitation that seems to have no real identity. Something in your environment is reminiscent of an old irritation. If you are troubled by an old angry demon, be aware that it is looking for a fresh perspective. Work it out with a heavy project, or write it out in a journal and consider how time has altered your attitude.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):The sun returns “home” to your sign this week. You likely will � nd it to be energising. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your energy. Use this month to let go of past hurts and take a deep breath of renewing energy.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):Your imagination could go overboard this week and you might be overly reactive to imagined slights. Double check on facts, data, and directions that come your way. Make a special effort to keep up with keys, tickets, and other small items. Part of your mind is in outer space.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):This is a good week to concentrate on a challenging mental project. It will work better for you if you are revising, editing, or itemising details. If you are producing a creative work, you are likely to be overly critical of the outcome. The Inner Critic may advise, but it should not be allowed to condemn your efforts.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):You are in the midst of a several week period in which many will feel compelled to revisit the past in some way. Old issues of resentment and anger may resurface for a better cleansing. A helpful ritual in these times is to clean out closets, eliminate useless items, and organise clutter.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20):This is a very good time to stay out of your signi� cant other’s way. He or she is experiencing an old anger from the past and may be projecting it on you. It is possible that you did accidentally trip the other’s trigger. Things will work better in the end if you respond with equanimity rather than anger.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):The probability is that you are still basking in the positive fallout from a Jupiter trine that was exact the � rst week of this month. It promised good things in the departments of romance, creative ventures, and children. Travel or vacation plans pursued during July are also favorable.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):This is not your smoothest week. Details may nag your mind and your time like pecking ducks. You and signi� cant others are not having the best of communications right now. You may be in the mood to nit-pick others. Probably you will feel generally better if you work alone.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):No matter how well meaning you are, others may misunderstand and be offended. The issue is over ego. If the other needs to cling to it, let it be. You have a grasp of the big picture and many around you cannot � y in the ethers with you or understand your perspective.

Miners push win streak to

seven

BFNLKyneton v Golden Square

Sandhurst v MaryboroughStrath� eldsaye v Kangaroo Flat

Eyes on the ball

BENDIGO’S rugby union team the Fighting Miners stretched their winning sequence to seven against the Deniliquin Drovers with a hard fought 32-17 win at Shadforth Park on Saturday.

After the Miners established a 15-0 lead, the Drovers fought back to a three-point de� cit with tries late in the � rst half and early in the second.

Then the Miners, with wind assistance, established a level of superiority scoring three more tries and conceding only one to run out comfortable winners on the scoreboard.

The scoreline � attered the Miners somewhat as the Drov-ers contested the forward en-counters with great physicality and some of their running in the backline exposed frailties in the Miners’ defence.

Outstanding for Bendigo were prop Nicki Poingdestre and � ve-eighth Johneen Faga-vao.

Despite being hampered by a knee injury, Poingdestre played the full 80 minutes and scored two tries from hit-ups af-ter tap penalties near the Drov-ers’ line.

In addition, his scrummag-ing was good and his ripping in the mauls won several turn-overs for the Miners.

He was judged to be the Ty-

son’s Reef Hotel player of the day.

Fagavao was instrumental in the try scored by centre Paula Maka in the 10th minute and that of winger Isaia Taulapapa in the 46th minute when he penetrated the Deniliquin de-fence and put his support play-ers away with pinpoint passes.

Others to play well for the Miners included the Tuitupou brothers Lyndon and Elson, Shane McGrail, Phil Thomas, Steve MacDonald and Isaia Tau-lapapa.

The win leaves Bendigo in third place on the competition ladder, two points behind Bor-der Army.

These two teams meet at Bandianna, Wodonga next Sat-urday in what promises to be a challenging assignment for the Miners.

July 23

AFTER surrendering a 10-point half-time lead, the Fighting Miners Juniors ral-lied to score two tries in the last 10 minutes to record their � rst ever win, against the Wyndham City Rhinos at Shadforth Park last Saturday.

Playing against the wind in the � rst half, the Miners scored three unconverted tries through � anker Trent Robson, half-back Nathan Sheppard and hooker James McKelvey while conceding a single try to the Rhinos.

The half-time lead of 15-5 evaporated early in the second period as the Rhi-nos scored two tries, one of which was converted to go to

a 17-15 lead.From this point forward,

the Miners lifted their inten-sity and dominated � eld po-sition and possession.

However, the Rhinos’ de-fence held � rm until Bendigo captain Ryan Spedding pen-etrated with an elusive run to put the Miners in front with ten minutes remaining.

Bendigo’s � nal try was scored by Sheppard, now playing in the centre, when a Bendigo player leapt high to gather a kick and off-loaded to Sheppard who scored be-tween the posts.

The � nal score was Ben-digo 29 to Wyndham City 17.

IT is a spectacle that promises to grow. The world’s � nest snooker players converged on Bendigo for the Gold� elds Open this week. It’s been estimated $100,000 has been brought into the local economy, and with the event now booked for the next two years, it, and Bendigo, will continue to prosper.

MINERS MINERS DIG DEEPDIG DEEP

By BEN CAMERON

THE Gold� elds Open has been great for the city, but next year’s event will be twice as good.

That’s the belief of City of Greater Bendigo major events manager John Rossi, with Bendigo set to host the event for the next two years.

Mr Rossi said $100,000 had been pumped into the local econ-omy through accommodation bookings, and crowds have been promising, despite a shortage of time to organise and promote the event.

“I would expect it (crowd num-bers and economic � gures) to dou-ble next year,” he said.

“We’ll have more time to pro-mote the event. This year was just about getting it up and running.”

Council has been liaising with local snooker clubs over plans to

bring a regional or Victorian cham-pionship to Bendigo, in the lead-up to the Gold� elds Open next year.

“The crowds were down a little bit in the early stages,” Rossi said.

However over 1000 people will watch the semi � nals and grand � nal over the weekend at Bendigo Stadium, with all tickets sold.

“According to our numbers the crowd is a 50/50 split between lo-cals and visitors,” he said.

World number 19 Mark Davis of Hastings, in England has been very impressed with how the Ben-digo Stadium has come up.

“The crowds have been good, the facilities brilliant,” he said.

“In fact the table I won my � rst game on was one of the best tables I’ve played on.

“I’m looking forward to spend-ing a few days in Bendigo and Mel-bourne away from the tables.”
