TIMEBOMBS
By ROSEMARY SORENSEN
THE Australian Institute of Architects is calling it a “second gold rush�. “Design brings new life to Victoria’s regional boomtown,� they trumpeted this week, part of a campaign to focus on the important role of architecture in regional cities. Beginning with the Bendigo Bank headquarters, completed in 2008, mentioning major works on schools in the past six years as part of the Bendigo Education Plan, on
Bendigo is experiencing its biggest building boom since the gold rush. Hospitals, schools, theatres and galleries – all these and more are changing the face of a city known for its eye-pleasing heritage buildings. Will history be as kind to these new buildings? Will Bendigo in the future be a heritage haven or a horror?
to new projects at La Trobe University and Bendigo Health, the Bendigo Art Gallery planned redevelopment, and also the Bendigo Library,
the AIA called them all part of a “vision�. Praise is due, the AIA said, to the City of Greater Bendigo council,
for “continuing the civic ambition of Bendigo’s forefathers in supporting high-quality public buildings and spaces�.
But how high the quality, and for how long is that quality likely to last, are good questions, according to La Trobe planning academic Andrew Butt. “It’s really important to discuss it,� Mr Butt said. “It’s a much healthier reaction than what we had in the second half of the 20th century, where places like Bendigo didn’t have any new quality buildings being constructed.

National Broadband Network will enhance library, says expert
Broadband boost By BEN CAMERON
THE Bendigo Library will be transformed by the National Broadband Network, a communications expert said yesterday. NBN guru Paul Budde, in Bendigo to talk up the early rollout of the new technology, said the NBN would help the Bendigo Library meet the current and future needs of the community. “The NBN will bring affordable services to councils, businesses and the community, and transform how the community uses libraries for e-education,” Mr Budde said.
“Public libraries are important centres for community education about the internet, and are often the only place where those with limited internet ac-

It is hoped Bendigo will be on the list for the early rollout of the NBN, to be announced in February next year.

CURRENT City of Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe may be popular with the community, but he is not as popular with his fellow councillors, it seems. The Bendigo Weekly can reveal Cr Fyffe was the first candidate to drop off the ballot during last week’s secret mayoral vote. North West Plains Ward councillor Bruce Phillips and Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade also nominated against Cr Fyffe, as did the
man who won, Flora Hill Ward councillor Alec Sander. Cr Phillips was the next to be voted off the list, with the final vote coming down to a vote between the oldest sitting councillor and the city’s youngest ever – Cr Sandner and Cr Reade.

Drain strain at $40m
Friday, November 18, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly
By ANTHONY RADFORD
IT is going to take more than $40 million to fix Bendigo’s damaged drainage network. A review of the city’s drains that began in September last year after a series of heavy storms, has uncovered at least 245 sites causing problems for locals, at a cost of more than $36 million. City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said he expected that number to rise. “There are another 150 drainage investigations to do, to see whether further

investigation is needed,” he said. “That will push the cost out to in the order of $40 million of identified works.” Council allocated $3.7 million of its own money this financial year for drainage repairs, with a further $1.1 million coming from developers. It plans to spend only $5 million a year on drainage for the next three years, at best. Traditionally, council allocates about $2 million a year to drainage works. Mr Fuzzard said the drainage problems were caused by old systems and

Epsom Ward councillor Lisa Ruffell is the most vocal of this group. “We, as councillors, lodge so many problems, and I find out six, eight or 10 months later they are no closer to being fixed,” she said. “This drainage problem is my biggest concern at the moment. “We urgently need money to fix these things yet all the community hears is ‘let’s build a library’, ‘let’s build a new car park’, ‘let’s build a new theatre’ and ‘let’s spend more money on the art gallery’.” “People are angry they

CALLING ALL PILOTS BENDIGO pilots are being urged to attend an important air safety workshop next week. The workshop will give local pilots special training to improve their flying and safety skills. The event is being held at the Bendigo Flying Club on Wednesday, November 23, starting at 6pm. Pilots should book their place at the workshop on the CASA web site at: www.casa.gov.au/avsafety
IF you’re new to Bendigo, don’t be alarmed when, on Saturday December 3, you see dozens of motorbikes, some a little over-decorated, heading off down the highway. It will be the now-famous Bendigo Toy Run, which heads off from Lansell Plaza Car Park at 8.30 am, trundles down into Castlemaine for a festive pitstop, then zooms on back into Bendigo. You’ll see them come back past Long Gully IGA around 10am, spy them (and hear them) outside the IGA in Eaglehawk around 10.45am, making their presence felt in White Hills about half an hour later, until, finally, the convoy will reach Lake Weeroona at around noon. Supported by the Long Gully IGA and Maiden Gully Lions Club, the Toy Run is organised by the Bike Clubs of Bendigo. They collect gifts and toys along the way, which are loaded into a St Vinnie’s truck. At the barbecue lunch that will wind up proceedings, there will be raffles and auctions, with proceeds towards the Christmas gift and food drive, helping out families in Bendigo. If you can’t make it on a bike or on foot at the barbecue afterwards, you can still donate gifts and toys at St Vincent de Paul in Bendigo. You can get the good oil on the Toy Run from Ossie at 0417 325 199.
TENDERS CALLED THE City of Greater Bendigo council has called for tenders for the construction of an extension to the Kennington Preschool. This will increase the number of preschool places available for Bendigo children. Council’s director of Community Wellbeing Pauline Gordon said architectural plans have been developed and the project will be advertised this week.
CLIMATE CHANGE IN FOCUS A CLIMATOLOGIST who worked for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for more than 38 years will speak at an open public forum in Bendigo on November 29. The subject of William Kininmonth’s presentation will be Climate Change and Carbon Tax: In Terms We Understand. The forum has been organised by the Bendigo Branch of The Australian Family Association and will be held at Bendigo Library’s Campbell Theatrette at 7.30pm. Entry is free. Details from 0428 999 387 or by e-mail at climateforum@impulse.net.au.

City can light the way
By BEN CAMERON
BENDIGO can be a national leader in the changing world of energy production, green-conscious City if Greater Bendigo councillor Keith Reynard said this week. Cr Reynard, also the chairman of the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance, said energy production would change significantly in the future and Bendigo was in a good place to embrace it. He said it was simply a case of more support from business, organisations and the community. “I would like to see Bendigo as a leader and an example of what can be done when we all embrace the need to change together,” he said. “Broadly, we still see that our energy system is someone else’s responsibility and as long as the lights come on it is OK.” With the carbon tax becoming law in July, Cr Reynard said it would provide opportunities for Central

Late in 2006, it announced a plan to cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent by 2010. That target ultimately failed. Cr Reynard said council didn’t recognise the urgency of the issue at the time, and that this is something many businesses are guilty of today.

“Whether we like them or not, at least we can react to what we see being built now – there was such a long history of bad buildings before.” Architecture historian Mike Butcher agreed. “Architecture should promote thought,” he said. “It’s a challenge when you have a historic city like ours, where there is an inevitable process of infill.
“The new buildings should not complement, but enhance, the built environment.” Mr Butcher, who is working on a new book about Bendigo’s architectural history, said it is difficult to compare 19th-century buildings with what’s going up in the 21st-century. Unwilling to comment on individual buildings, such as the jazzily-angled $17.4m Bendigo Police Station, completed in 2007, Mr
Butcher encouraged “useful discussion” about what has been built, and what could have been built. He said one of Bendigo’s most important new buildings, the Bendigo Bank headquarters completed in 2008, makes a statement about the city’s identity in the same way as the Town Hall or the Beehive made a statement in the 19th century. “The scale of it says this city has a future,” Mr Butch-
er said. It says there is a new wave. “Not that many years ago, it wasn’t predicted that the city would double in population, or that we’d need highrise. “That static view of Bendigo has proven incorrect.” Mr Butcher called for council, planners and the community to have the courage to envisage better and “more spectacular” architecture, a call backed by

“In design considerations, if you start at the bottom and work up, then mediocrity prevails.

He underlined the importance of not just the buildings, but also the way the building interacts with the spaces around it, an issue which is top-of-mind for the architect whose team is currently designing the

Spend to get results MAYOR Rod Fyffe gives the Bendigo Bank building, embedded into the retail precinct at the Cathedral end of the city, the thumbs-up. Other recently constructed buildings however, such as the Department of Human Services regional office in Queen Street, the mayor says represent a “lost opportunity” for the city. “I think the Bendigo Bank looks good,” Cr Fyffe said this week. “But don’t get me started on
with the connection between the big park and the major institutions on the axis. “With the Cathedral at the entrance and now the Bendigo Bank on the canal on the other side of Pall Mall, it makes for an impressive location.” Mr McGauran said it is important to resist calls for grand and spectacular buildings. “People think they need iconic buildings, calling for Guggenheims, grand monuments. “But we’re also becoming a bit more sophisticated, and understanding that it’s the quality of the spaces that matters, and that means everything has to be good. “The building and the spaces around it need to talk to each other.”
the DHS building. “Our new car park (under construcion in Edwards Street) is better; the idea of having something on the exterior is good.” Cr Fyffe said spending more on a building usually achieves a better aesthetic result. “We need to start creating our own heritage buildings,” he said. “People need to be able to look back in years to come and think how great things were, how well they worked, whether
they were private buildings like the bank or public buildings. “We need to take a more critical look at our private and public buildings.”
New things are good THE man behind one of View Street’s most discussed new buildings – the La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre – says a desire to keep things the way they are, or used to be, is misplaced. “Bendigo has the bones of a really good city,” architect Peter Elliott says. “It has some exuberant old buildings and an interesting terrain, but it’s impossible to resist change. “A lot of older buildings aren’t that good, you just get

used to them.” Mr Elliott said it is possible for good contemporary architecture to “sit very comfortably” with the old. The best cities are ones that embrace the idea of change. “For regional communities, new things are good, that’s the way cities maintain an energy and a vibrancy,” he said. “I don’t like heritage lookalike buildings, there are better ways not to be invasive. “It’s better to have buildings you might not like at the
start, then with time and familiarity, they become more acceptable. “The important buildings in a city are crucial: and then you hope the rest are good too.”

What’s the best way to start running?
Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 18, 2011
By Brikitta at Lifestyle Fitness Bendigo’s Biggest Winner valued supporter
THE best way is just start slowly and build up gradually. Whether you are coming from another sport or getting up off the couch, it takes time to break into running. Most trainers agree a run-walk program is the best way to start. Start with four to five minutes of walking then alternate some running and end with a walk segment to cool down. Aim for running at a
pace where you can carry on a conversation. Do that three days a week with rest days in between. Over time you can work up to more days a week. Statistically, the safest time for women to run is mornings. Studies also show morning runners are more likely to stick with it. The feeling of accomplishment is a great mental and physical start to the day as well.
STEP FORWARD: Begin with a run-walk.

THERE are just a few times when a really big lunch is good for a bloke’s health, Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum told parliament last week. Mr Drum said one of those occasions will be on November 25 when the Blokes Biggest Lunch Ever will be held in Sidney Myer Place in central Bendigo to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Mr Drum said the Big Blokes Lunch was an important fund and awareness raiser
for prostate cancer. Last year’s event raised more than $50,000. “Prostate cancer is one of the easiest cancers to detect and to recover from,” he told parliament. “But it remains one of the biggest killers of men. “The lunch is a chance to have a positive impact – to get more middle-aged men to have a check-up.” Mr Drum praised the efforts of the man behind the lunch, Keith Sutherland, chair-
man of Bendigo Publishing, whom Mr Drum described as one of Bendigo’s more tireless community leaders. Mr Drum said Mr Sutherland has assembled many thousands of dollars of items to be auctioned during the lunch. “So, if it’s not possible for people to attend, I’d urge them to donate something to the auction – and if that’s not possible I’d strongly urge men to get to their doctor and get themselves checked,” he said.

The former Victorian government announced last year a plan to develop the house into a community arts centre. In April, Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum said the community arts centre was not feasible. Mr Drum said the plan needed to include a “high-class restaurant and a sound bowl”. Mr Thwaites said the new plan addresses the cost of maintenance of the site, and also recognises the significance of its heritage.
The core business will provide the overall structure and branding... Mr Thwaites’ new business plan, which has not yet undergone a feasibility study, is for the creation of a “national-level tourist attraction” on the site. “The business plan places strong emphasis on the financial viability of the proposed venture,” Mr Thwaites said. “The core business will provide the overall struc-

THE decision to put the responsibility for a Fortuna Villa business plan into the hands of a community group has been challenged by Member for Bendigo East, Jacinta Allan. “Why has the Liberal National Government required a volunteer community group to prepare a Business Plan when it has not made a commitment to the future of Fortuna Villa?” Ms Allan said yesterday. Commending the work of the Friends of Fortuna whose president Patrick Thwaites last night (Thursday) outlined to a public meeting the plans for a community-run centre on the historic site, Ms Allan called on the Baillieu government to “make their intentions clear”.

United on a journey By ROSEMARY SORENSEN
REVEREND Eseta Meneilly defines herself as a universal woman, with a local focus. Born in Fiji, trained as a kindergarten teacher in Australia, she and her husband Chris moved to Bendigo in May this year, where they are both ministers in the Uniting Church. Their ministry here is to work within the changing shape of the Uniting Church in Bendigo, to help equip it for what is ahead in a city that slowly, but inevitably, is becoming part of a diverse social culture. It’s a challenge, Eseta says, and one which, in retrospect, can be seen as courageous for both the church and the Meneillys. Eseta ministers at Forest Street St Andrew’s Bendigo and Axedale. The first woman to receive a placement at Forest Street and also the first minister from an ethnic background, she is very different from what the church, and the city, has known in the past. The Meneillys’ path to the Goldfields is, like many lives, a combination of chance and circumstance. The first chance came in the 1960s, when Chris was a teenager, on a holiday with his parents. That was the beginning of an interest in, and love for, Fiji. He met Eseta not in her homeland, but at a youth camp in Australia. The young woman won a scholarship to train as a kindergarten teacher in Melbourne. When they fell in love, and married, it was assumed by friends and family they would stay in Australia, but both Eseta and Chris wanted to honour the conditions of her scholarship, so they headed back to Fiji. That was where Chris undertook studies at the Pacific Theological College in Suva, where he was the only non-Pacific Islander. “That was a very influential experience,� he says, “very formative�. The decision to return to Australia was made a decade later, when the eldest of their three children was 10, to prepare the
HIGH NOTE: Yarawa Methodist Church Choir from Suva in Fiji. way for their education. They left Fiji in December 1987, by chance following the military coups which were the beginning of several decades of political unrest. They worked first in St Arnaud, then in Melbourne. Eseta began her studies to become a minister, mirroring her husband’s journey in Fiji. When she was ordained four years ago, she worked in Boronia in Melbourne, while he was working in nearby Mitcham. Then, Bendigo entered their thinking. “I really knew nothing about Bendigo,� Eseta says. “When the church called me to it, we came into a situation that we are slowly beginning to understand. “It doesn’t always work,� she says of the kind of brave decision the church has made to send a woman from a different culture to this country city. “The Uniting Church declared itself a multicultural church in 1985, and 25 years later we’re still walking the journey. “Naming it doesn’t mean, yes, we are multicultural; now we have to decide how we move forward.� Eseta is a member of the Uniting Church’s National Reference Committee on Cross-culturalism, so she understands how important her appointment is. However, when she received a request to host a Fijian choir for a visit, her first reaction was to say no. She was only just settling in to her new role in a new city, and wanted to concentrate on the work at hand.
“I was just in the process of saying no, when an email came about the choir – and I discovered some of them were people I went to school with,� she says. That’s why, on December 9, the St Andrew’s Uniting Church Hall in Myers Street will be ringing with the combined voices of 30 Fijians, singing both sacred music and also Fijian songs. Two concerts of sere and meke (song and dance) will act as fundraisers for the Yarawa Methodist Church Choir, from Suva in Fiji. The Meneillys are also hoping to take the choir members on a tour of Bendigo’s Sacred Heart Cathedral. “Anything to do with churches, we know they’ll love,� Eseta says. The presence of these singers in the Bendigo church will be just a small part of the quiet revolution taking place for parishioners and the community at large. Eseta says there are many people now living and working in Bendigo who come from other places, but who are not yet seen by the broader community. “There are questions to be asked, about how a person lives their traditions, but still has an opportunity to be an individual,� she says. “My hope, my prayer, is that people will see I look different, that I speak with an accent, but see too that there are things they can learn from me.� Yarawa Methodist Church Choir performs on December 9 at St Andrew’s Uniting Church Hall, Myers Street, at 2pm and 7.30pm: $15/$10.

includes holding directorships with grampians Regional council for adult, community and Further Education, Karkana Support Services and Highlands Personnel. Mr cairns said among Mr Rigby’s challenges would be optimisation and innovation. “this is all about looking for new ways to do things in a more efficient and effective way that has benefit for customers, our region and how we do business,” he said. a continued focus on financial sustainability and continued commitment to engaging customers and community is also part of Mr Rigby’s charge.

College praised By BEN CAMERON
Education Minister Martin dixon officially opened the $22 million Eaglehawk Secondary college on thursday morning. Mr dixon unveiled a plaque and toured the school, which has been completely rebuilt as part of the Bendigo Education Plan. “this is an exciting day for Bendigo students, marking another milestone in the regeneration plan for local schools and the completion of construction at Eaglehawk,” he said. “the brand-new gymnasium, the two food technology areas and two more ‘learning communities’ will make a huge difference to the students and their teachers.” the learning communities, or schools within schools, are large, open-plan learning spaces designed to house up to 200 students. the students have all their core classes within the community and stay in the one community throughout their time at school.

Dangers of leasing Fortuna I noW live in Bendigo (came back home after some years away) but for 12 years we were caretakers of the nSW Governor’s Summer Residence, “Hillview” in the beautiful Southern Highlands. The nSW Government in 1999 leased this lovely old property which was built in the 1850s to a developer who was to bring it back to its former glory. Some 12 years later this has not happened, and great changes have been made to the property, in my opinion, against the conditions of the lease. However, I just want to voice my concerns, and say that I hope that if our lovely “Fortuna” is leased in the same way as “Hillview” was, that it will go to plan and I wish the incoming management all the best with their plans. Helen Tatt, Bendigo
cused is quoted as saying, the decision is the “mark of a civilised society”. It should be obvious, upon calm reflection, that those most aggrieved and injured by an alleged offender are not the ones most suited to the roles of judge and jury. This is not to diminish or dishonour the degree of loss and suffering amongst those affected, and it is not to deny the seriousness of the offence. It is an understandable assumption on the part of many people that these boys have not been punished for their alleged crimes. It is, however, much more likely that they have suffered and felt the approbation of society keenly during this process. It is also likely that their short lives have largely consisted of significant distress and disadvantage – the trying and incarcerating these boys would only compound the tragedy and trauma, and erode our claim to being a civilised society.
A civilised society MY parents and brother are residents of West Bendigo, and were forced to run for their lives on Saturday, February 7, 2009. Yet, after reading with dismay the lynch-mob mentality of earlier local reporting on the dropping by the dPP of the case against the two boys accused of those fatal Black Saturday fires, it was with relief and appreciation that I read your measured and balanced editorial on this vexed subject. As you said, this was a unanimous decision of a jury, judge, defence team and police prosecutors. As a lawyer for one of the ac-

Luscious lunchbox is lethal for teeth I AM a local dentist and was horrified to see the contents of the school lunchbox in your article titled “Going back to basics” (Bendigo Weekly, november 11). Working in a busy general dental practice I see hundreds of children every year, some with tooth decay so severe we need to organise a general anaesthetic to restore their teeth. Since the introduction of fluoride into the drinking water in the

1970s (Bendigo was fluoridated in 2002) we have seen significant declines in the prevalence of tooth decay. However, more recent research is showing that over the last 10 years tooth decay in children has been on the rise. This has been attributed to the increasing widespread availability of high-sugar-content soft drinks, sports drinks, flavoured milks and snacks. The recent campaign to restrict the sale of these products in schools should have a positive
long-term effect, but it seems that it will not affect what parents place in their child’s lunchbox. The national Health and Medical Research Council recommends enjoying a wide variety of nutritious foods including plenty of vegetables, legumes and fruits with an emphasis on moderating fat and sugar content. While I appreciate the sentiment of the article for its environmental benefits, I can only hope that this is not a general representative of the contents of school
lunchboxes at this primary school. I think parents should be going back to basics with school lunches and mixing the tried-and-tested combination of salad sandwich on wholemeal or multigrain bread, piece of fruit and tub of yoghurt to improve their child’s general and dental health.

Public Notice: Seeking the Best for You and Our Council Dear City of Greater Bendigo Residents,
lacks constructive feedback and public analysis.
Future rate increases can be minimised.
We wish to inform you a proposal and petition for an independent and public review of council was lodged with the Greater Bendigo City Council on November 10th.
Our proposal has an independent reviewer examining council’s internal workings, whilst a community board leads the public part considering submissions and conducting open hearings – your chance to participate.
The Review is a great chance to achieve excellence and deliver significant benefits for our rural and urban communities. Council can be a State leader if it seizes the opportunity. The decision is in councillors’ hands.
Transparent ‘terms of reference’ will guide the reviewers. All reports will be made public.
We did not have the resources to approach all residents to be part of the petition; we hope you understand.
The proposal is a positive plan to have an external reviewer and the community search for ideas to improve council.
Council has many things for which it can be proud. Yet, council itself admits there are things it can do better.
The Review is important given next year’s council elections will have a new three-ward threecouncillor system. The Review will identify best practice and areas requiring development or adjustment, and present improvement ideas to ensure council is effective and efficient and on the right path.
Currently, Council reviews itself, and provides information to various authorities. However, this

Is trouble building? ON a good day, when the sun is shining and the birds are singing, Bendigo can look so lovely, you wonder why anyone would want to live anywhere else. On other days, as you dodge the cars streaming in to the carpark in the railway station heritage precinct now dominated by a big uninteresting shopping centre, you might think, what are we doing to our city? Is it gradually losing its charm? Bendigo’s identity is essentially tied up with its history. It is created around the grand old buildings we associate with the 19th century, when the vision of architects such as WC Vahland was to build impressive, decorative structures to last. In the latter half of the 20th century, many of these buildings were threatened with if not demolition, at least neglect. Others weren’t respected, crowded and overshadowed by unsympathetic developments. (The Coles building over the road from St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral is a good example of that.) Hopefully, those days are well

Editorial Comment and truly behind us. According to the experts in our big-sister city, Melbourne, the growth we are currently seeing is good. As our front page story today details, Bendigo was the subject this week of an enthusiastic release from the Australian Institute of Architects about the city’s “second gold rush of culture and design”. Let’s not let the slightly patronising tone of the AIA’s media release detract from the central message: Bendigo, “Victoria’s regional boomtown” is undergoing a transformation equal to that which made its name in the latter half of the 19th century. The gold that’s attracting people this time round is cultural. We are
seeing new buildings springing up throughout the city, with more – many more – on the horizon: a new theatre, extensions to the library and the gallery, education precincts, a new hospital and other health buildings. Some of these buildings, such as the ambitious Police headquarters and the Bendigo Bank headquarters, are visually imposing – and a bit of an eyesore. The coloured cladding and irregular angles so common to contemporary style seem at odds with the elegance and balance of the historic styles. Architects and planners tell us it’s no longer just about the building. It’s about the space, and how the community uses it. They tell us too that new buildings take time to appreciate. The question that we need to keep asking, as our city is changed forever, is this: will we be as proud of our city in 50 years time as we are today? With any luck (and with good planning), the answer can be: we’ll be even more proud.
We need a chain reaction DEPENDING on how you look at it, cyclists are either a curse upon our roads, a mobile billboard for better health outcomes or a potential solution to traffic snarls in cities otherwise slowly choking themselves to death. Across Europe, cyclists are afforded a great deal of respect and courtesy on the roads they share with motorists each and every day, but sadly, that’s not always the case here at home. Fault for that rests with both parties, and to varying degrees, which raises the question as to what we as a community are doing about infrastructure and programs to support cycling, improve safety and better educate both cyclists and motorists. So when a key report into local government expenditure on bicycle infrastructure reveals spending has fallen in the past year, it follows many municipalities now face even more of an uphill battle to get their bike networks up to scratch, a circumstance that benefits neither riders or drivers. Our own City of Greater Bendigo spent about $6.72 per resident on cycling infrastructure last year, compared to the regional average of around $6. This figure excludes any funding

CHRISTMAS came early yesterday for 140 disadvantaged children when Variety handed out 140 bikes and helmets at the Salvation Army Gravel Hill Centre as part of their Bikes 4 Kids program. derived from external sources such as federal or state government grants. In Ballarat, the investment is $7.92 per resident. But of 98 Australian councils studied as part of the annual Bicycle Expenditure Index (BiXE) 2011 report – which details local governments investment in bicycle infrastructure – only 42 per cent met the $5 per resident spend that indicates a municipality has a ‘meaningful commitment’ to increasing bike riding. On the flip side, investment
in cycling also provides significant boosts to community health, contributes to a better and more sustainable environment, and yes, it can also help reduce traffic congestion on our roads. It would be far easier and cheaper to accommodate 1000 extra cyclists riding to work every day than it would be to provide for the same number of extra vehicles. A staggering 3.6 million Australians ride a bicycle at least once a week for recreation, leisure or sport, including 1.2 million people who make at least one transport journey. Cycling in this city is largely underpinned by groups of committed volunteers at the various clubs whose passion has been passed on through the generations. The long list of Olympic, world, national and state champion cyclists to emerge from Bendigo is further evidence of the strength of the sport, and its potential for further success and growth. So while the City of Greater Bendigo deserves some credit for what it does to support the momentum of cycling in this city, there’s no doubt as a community, we could all do a whole lot more.

FOODfossickers Stir up a Christmas tradition THERE are many traditions surrounding the good old Christmas pudding. Did you know this Sunday is “Stir up Sunday�? The plum pudding, plum duff (in the UK) or figgy pudding (in the US) has its origins in medieval England where Christmas is celebrated in the middle of winter and it is not always an ideal addition to the Australian Christmas lunch in the middle of summer. Those with religious undertones proclaim the pudding should be made on the last Sunday before the season of Advent.
It should be prepared with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and the 12 apostles, and each family member should stir it in turn from east to west to honour the Magi and their supposed journey in that direction, hence the term “Stir up Sunday�. Better get cracking then, you have only one week to get everything ready for the biggest family stir of the year. Our Food Fossickers web page features a recipe for an ice cream Christmas pud that makes a refreshing change when the temperature soars.

Ship Kings Andrew McGahan Allen and Unwin, $22.99 A SEA shanty with a mythical whirlpool at its heart. Miles Franklin-award winning author, Andrew McGahan, has continued on his merry way, working through every genre known to readers, by embarking on a four-book fantasy series. The Coming of the Whirlpool, book one of The Ship Kings is about Dow Amber, a boy destined to become a timber-cutter until he hears the siren-song of the sea. He wants to sail forth, but discovers the seas are ruled by the Ship Kings, and there is also something in the ocean that frightens those who would think to try their luck. Phew! Can a boy overcome all that and get through to the second book? McGahan lives in Melbourne now, spent his youth in Darby, on the wheatfields
of Queensland, then lived in Brisbane, where he wrote his tragic and funny novel, Praise. He has not stopped since, eventually winning the Miles Franklin with a big ambitious politically-anchored saga called The White Earth. He says he’s always loved sea shanties, and associated folklore, so this fantasy series came to him as a pleasure to write. Fantasy readers, who are often young people, are choosy, but once they accept a writer, they stay with the books, so it will be interesting to see if this series is welcomed among the fantasy brigade. He has always had critical approval: can McGahan now capture the popular support he has long desired? Also to look out for: the authorised biography of the
band, Powderfinger, the last hurrah of a band claimed as Australia’s most admired. Footprints (Hachette, $45), written with the assistance of Dino Scatena, promises new photos, if not revelations, about how a band from Brisbane took on the world. And it’s due very soon, the new MasterChef Australia Cook Book (HarperCollins, $39.99), promising Billy’s Swiss Roll, Dani’s curry, Kumar’s baklava and Michael’s vanilla-poached lobster. – Rosemary Sorensen

Spending for the high flyers Steve is on his soapbox again as drainage funding is held over in favour of other projects STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE
if I had known the repairs were on hold so there could be another coffee bar on View Street, I may have abstained. Most people, if asked, would assume the council was here to keep the roads safe, empty the bins, and make sure the city runs. Sure, tourism is important too, and seems to be quoted every time there is more spending, but at what cost? If it costs $10 million to bring in
Crunching the numbers to suit is the second oldest game in the book $12 million that’s $2 million from tourism, not 12. Crunching the numbers to suit is the second-oldest game in the book, seems to be a speciality for some. I would knock back any charges of me being a philistine. I think there is a great need for arts and entertain-
ment, I just don’t think it should lead the way on the council budget. The mooted plan for the Bendigo jail site sounds more like it, a back to the roots venue which can provide a mixture of entertainment. Next weekend’s Blues & Roots Music Festival is based around the hard work of music enthusiasts in the city. Sure it has some council backing from the community grants scheme, which is to be applauded, but it is the hard work of volunteers which will bring in the crowds. It will use existing venues and local musos and not at a huge cost to the public purse.
John Deere Toys for Christmas
That way any money made by local business will be profit, not gross income. Another way in which I think the council is heading in the right direction is a library refurb. At least most members of the community can benefit from the facilities on offer. On a more practical note, if we leave it too long before fixing the problems, the thousands of people who flock to the arts venues will be stuck in the ruts in the footpath, or delayed by the crumbling infrastructure. Never mind, perhaps council could place a helicopter pad in View Street. I’m sure it would be passed im-
mediately, and the Bendigo Airport would be moved back another year and filed under “too hardâ€?. But Christmas is coming, party season, forget all the worries until the new year. Then it will be 2012 and a whole new range of funding can be delayed or diverted to the major arts, and the latte set will claim another victory for “cultureâ€?. DRAIN STRAIN Page 3

I DREW some adverse comment last year when I dared to attack the “scarfia� of Bendigo whose only focus seems to be the expansion of the arts. Of course the only attacks came from those with a vested interest in keeping the certain few in even bigger galleries and more extravagant shows. Including council staff. The art gallery does a magnificent job now, why does it need to be bigger? The Capital struggles to fill all events, why not keep it as it is and make the events more across the board? I can’t blame them for trying to expand with a cash injection, but it’s not all-encompassing enough for my liking. But hey, it’s only seven or so million dollars. It irks me even more when I find basic drainage and infrastructure is on the never-never backburner with council. More than $40 million worth of repairs which need to be done to fix the drainage and make footpaths passable is being put off year-onyear. What’s more, the list keeps growing as the infrastructure takes continued wear and tear. Surely the City of Greater Bendigo council should be fixing roads, footpaths and drainage rather than ensuring they have a launch party to go to. I love the launch parties too, but

Sustain yourself in style on Sunday SUSTAINABILITY will be celebrated in style this weekend with a day of food, gardening and music. The Bendigo Sustainability Group will hold a Community Celebration Day at Strathdale’s Crook Street Park on Sunday, and there will be something for everyone. BSG president David
Brownbill said the event will include live entertainment, gardening workshops and cooking demonstrations, as well as a Sustainable Living Market, where locals can pick up advice on sustainable housing products. “Highlights of the day will include Costa from SBS’ Costa’s Garden Odys-
sey and The McAlpine Fusiliers playing throughout the day on the main stage,” he said. “We’ll also have the sweetest-tasting fruit juice on offer, as it will be made by pedal power, with legwork supplied by a local Bendigo cycling group. “There will be free kids’ activities including a jug-
gling workshop. Or if fashion’s your thing why not enter the sustainable fashions on the field? There will be prizes for the best op-shop outfit worn on the day.” If locals ride their bike to the event they can have it serviced for free at the bike service station. The free event runs from 10am to 3pm.

JOE’S NEW BABY
BEN CAMERON ROCK legend and father-offive Joe Camilleri has helped give birth to two things close to his heart this year. Cradling the most obvious example on his knee (newborn daughter Aurora Rose) as he talks to b.entertained, Camilleri obviously had a larger hand in his other baby: new album Crooked Little Thoughts. With more than a little bit of inspiration from acclaimed Australian artist Victor Rubin, CLT is still very much his baby, however. “It’s a triple album so it’s different from the start,” Camilleri says of the LP. “My job is to make the record, everything else became like an art project. “It was an opportunity to cut myself loose.” Twenty-four songs long, with an accompanying Rubin painting for each, it’s a definitely a liberating artistic diversion for Joe and The Black Sorrows. “There’s been a few milestones within this record,” Camilleri admits. “I don’t think anybody’s ever done that (before)... we went that extra mile.” The themes behind CLT haven’t been shaped by his daughter’s impending birth, but it’s inspired a little homebased creativity, at least. “Since then I’ve written a couple of lullabies,” Camilleri says. “It’s like a song you write for yourself, just for your house. “I’ve written a few songs that relate to our relationship. “They’re little joyous things, whether they see the light of day is another story.” CLT was inspired by a couple of things: a chance meeting with Rubin, and a visit to a Sunshine Coast record store, where he stumbled across a 300-page real estate guide. For whatever reason, the latter appealed to Camilleri’s wont to do something a little different. “It got me thinking how I was eventually going to put my project together,” Camilleri admits. Hooking up with Rubin however was organised by a mutual friend, who could see the parallels in their personalities.

CRASH TEST COMEDY FANCY yourself as a bit of a comedian? Love to do some stand up but don’t know how? Well thanks to some peer support and organisation, Crash Test Comedy could be your way to the stage. Workshops are running next Monday from 4pm to 5.30pm at the Newmarket with a chance to perform before an audience if you make the grade. The main show is at 8.30pm with a small cover charge. Organiser Axl Taylor said the workshops are a gentle easing in for the wannabe comic.
“The atmosphere is very supportive,” he said. “Once you have given it a go with guidance from other comics, you’ll be amazed how easy the transition to the stage is.” “Greg Fleet is running the workshop on Monday, November 28, so that’s a real opportunity to learn from a master of the craft.” “He’s been in the circuit for 22 years, and he’s keen to mentor and pass on the skills.” So why not stand up and be counted, and have a laugh along the way? Crash Test Comedy runs
each Monday at the Newmarket, 8.30pm to 10pm, $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Details from 0457 646 886.
BRUTALLY HONEST ENGLISH “She said ‘You would like him because he’s a bit nuts like you’,” Camilleri laughs. “I knew of him, but never saw his work. “We spent a lot of time together, and I really enjoyed my time with him.” Camilleri says Rubin has a unique ability to conjure something from the domestic or mundane. “He sees art in a piece of wood, or a plastic bag,” Camilleri says. “People who take things out of a garbage bin and bring them home, I get a bit nervous (about), but he always turns it into something.” That’s not to suggest Camilleri has dug all the paintings used on CLT. “There are some paintings I don’t like,” Camilleri says. “That’s just how he saw it (for the album). “There are some things that knock me out, and others that don’t. “He probably feels the same about the songs.” CLT is also a reaction to the wealth of downloadable music these days. “It was all about saying you can download music but you can’t download this as an idea,” Camilleri says. “Most people who download music wouldn’t agree, but it’s a tactile thing. “I wanted something that
was interesting to listen to, and interesting to read and to see.” So can any comparison be drawn between birth of a child, and an album? “They don’t compare,” Camilleri says. “Making an album you think you’re giving birth, but when you see someone giving birth you know that you haven’t been doing anything. “There’s no comparison... after watching my girlfriend go through 40 hours of labour... I would much rather have the pressure and power of making a record. “They’re both joyous, but they both give you different things.” Like making babies, and CLT, any kind of Camilleri creation is an intense journey. “You just go nuts,” he laughs. “Once you get onto something, you just want to play it out. “There’s always an orchestra in your head, you’ve already written the book and you’ve accepted the award... and the you wake up. “And the struggle continues.” Joe Camilleri plays The Palais Hepburn Springs tonight (Friday), and Music at the Healesville Track on Sunday. Crooked Little Thoughts is out soon.
BEN CAMERON BENDIGO’S Joel English may not believe in lyrical fairytales, but he can’t deny next Saturday will provide a happy ending to the opening act of his career so far. The emerging solo folk star first caught the attention of Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival lovers after powerfully raw performances at festival fundraisers at The Metro in May, and down in the basement at Goldmines Hotel in June. Playing to a packed house, it was a big step for English, as for some time, a lack of confidence to tackle the stage alone, was stalling his plans to become the solo artist he knew he could be. “I’ve always played in a band and as small bands do they fell apart,” English says. “And I got sick of trying to organise people so I just gave up on bands, but I hated the idea of being on the stage by myself. “I have to say it kinda’ scared me.” But luckily BB&RMF director Colin Thompson had the ear of this fledgling performer. “I caught up with Colin one day and explained it to him when he was asking about where I was at with music,” English says. “With a bit of back and forth chatter over the next couple of weeks he booked me into the Relay For Life
fundraiser at the Golden Vine (in April). “That was the first gig I would of played in two or three years. “I played with a mate Josh and it’s an awesome feeling turning a rowdy bar dead silent! “I guess I feel like I found myself musically again.” Those three gigs mentioned came at just the right time. “I guess that was the moment I realised... it was probably the moment I found myself again musically, as lame as that sounds,” he laughs. “Josh and I had a packed room in the cellar (at Goldmines) and it was a really fun show, the crowd were into it, we were all having a laugh and I guess I just realised how much fun playing live was and how much I had missed it.” English is not only begin-

ning to wow crowds, but he’s recording too, with EP Tortures in the works; a deeply personal record, it reflects some turbulent times in his life. “The last two years have had some shocking moments that turned my life upside down,” English says. The title track was written three days after the death of a close friend. “I think that song sort of displays how much I’ve mature as a writer,” English says. “I feel like the last two years I’ve just been wrestling with life and tryin’ to keep my head above water ya know? “I started to become extremely honest in my writing...I figure you offend if you do it, you offend if you don’t do it.” Full story at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Local writings JOHN BURSTON as head teacher of the North Sandhurst State School, was, as mentioned last week, to have a profound and lasting influence on the scholastic life of student Elizabeth Woods. Elizabeth’s father, William Woods, was at first a carter before he found employment in the mining industry in 1887, the year that will be the focus of this article; he shared his occupation with 3744 others on the Bendigo goldfield. Mr Woods, and 3252 others, were engaged in quartz mining underground. In his case he worked at one stage at the Great Extended Hustler’s Mine just off Hustler’s Road. Incidentally, 1887 was important for Mr Burston as it was to be his last year at the school before he was sent to another. School children had to supply their own work books, it being one of the few expenses associated with the free, compulsory and secular education that was now provided by the state. In the case of the Woods family, they made the purchases of their children’s exercise books at A. J. Smith Jun-

Typical of the period the books had feigned marble cardboard covers and the pages were stitched with linen thread, with the spine having an application of lightweight canvas bookbinding tape. There were 88 pages all told, of these, 84 were used by Elizabeth for all
the subjects covered during the year 1887. A. J. Smith and Company were located in Pall Mall, the business concentrated on retail as well as wholesale sales. Apart from Smith’s being stationers they also sold books and acted as newsagents.
Smith’s were a respected business and as such they became agents for the Government Printer, additionally they were the local representatives for G. F. Witton’s Business Professional and Trades Directory. Directories were an important part of 19th century commercial life.
What’sthis?
For me, it is interesting the 14-year-old Elizabeth wrote one of her compositions on “The Mall on Saturday Evening”, the last portion of the composition is reproduced above. The story begins just before Bull Street on towards Mundy Street.

‘Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world’ SPF factor between two and four. It is no defence against long term UV damage. The perfect suntan is a sign that your skin has been damaged. While prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to undesirable outcomes such as sunburn and wrinkles, the problem goes much deeper when we start discussing skin cancer. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with one in three of us being diagnosed with some sort of skin cancer by the time we reach 70. There is huge variability in ultraviolet radiation levels across Australia. In Victoria from September to April,
when average UV levels are three and above, sun protection is required. At this level, the UV radiation is strong enough to damage the skin and eyes. I am sure that many of us have heard how to protect ourselves from UV radiation, I still see and hear about women of all ages (even under 18), working at getting the perfect tan.
Be smart girls and adhere to these guidelines when out in the sun:

ADOPT-A-PET
STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER, BRINDLE MALE, 5 YEARS I’m a sweet and affectionate dog, Samson is a sociable boy with female dogs and actually lived with another of our staffies Maggie. He has a fear of brooms and hoses which probably has its origin somewhere in the past. He is quite good on lead and really lives for love and attention. He can look formidable at first glance but inside beats the heart of a pussy cat. He is Desexed and ready to go to a home. BESS DSH, BLACK FEMALE, 2 YEARS Hi there, my name is Bess and I am a very sweet, gentle girl who has such a sweet personality. You will instantly fall in love with my affectionate nature, and the attention I will devote to you. I love my cuddles and believe that I would make such a great companion. I am worth a look, so why not come in and see me! I am sociable with the other cats around me. I will be Desexed upon adoption. SAMSON

Give ’em a Heiden
Power riding for a good cause CAN you cast your mind back to 2002 and what you may have been doing around this time of year? For a small, very diverse, group of riders known as the Powercor Peddlers it was the time they combined with the Bendigo Special Development School to undertake their first Port to Port cycling tour. The then-principal and vice principal, Russell Honey and Bill Burns, both keen cyclists who had previously been involved with the Powercor Peddlers at Kalianna, were keen to try this relatively new event. The two-day bicycle ride starts in Mildura and runs through Swan Hill and on to Echuca. Cyclists leave the Mildura riverfront bright and early on Saturday morning and head down the Calder Highway. At Hattah, they turn and ride on to Wemen for a break and refreshments. Then it is on to the Murray Valley Highway with the Murray River over their left shoulder. After a food break at Boundary Bend, the riders head for Swan Hill and a well-earned overnight break. Sunday morning the riders are back in the saddle and look forward to about a five or six hour ride to Echuca making a total
EDDIE BARKLA of 400km. Like most things, when you first take them on, there is an air of anticipation of what might be in front of you as a team. Some had used the Bay in a Day option of 210km as a training ride to test the legs and ability to recover. After putting the call out to the general cycling community a strong team was rallied and we set off north with a very lean budget for food and accommodation. Seeking out local sponsors for products

A FORMER Bendigo table tennis star, Nathan Van Der Heiden, is battling it out right now in Bahrain on the world stage. Originally from Kerang, Van Der Heiden is competing at the the 2011 World Junior Championships all this week, in the Under 18 division for Australia. Van Der Heiden started playing the sport against his brother Alex at six years of age, using cake mix boxes as the net on the family kitchen table. “He wasn’t allowed to play in the junior pennant as he was too young and a little too short, so he had to be happy playing at home,” Van Der Heiden’s uncle John said. The ping pong prodigy eventually became one of

“Over the 10 years some 60 riders have joined the Powercor Team, raising around $20,000” that would be suitable was encouraging to say the least and a 10-year partnership was formed with Pasta Master. Powercor management at Bendigo and Mildura were most supportive of the idea of having a team that rode through the middle of the business area in broad daylight. A Powercor vehicle, cycling kit and other sponsor material was supplied to all in the team as well as accommodation at both Mildura and Swan Hill depots, sleeping on the floor

Chris is a native of the northern end of the state and had the right contacts to add some special touches to the weekend. The heat off the road was something we had not contemplated. The team had to be kept hydrated with cold water, and it was

It seemed bizarre but certainly added some inspiration to the perspiration to continue.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):
The Rams will be focused on improving and applying leadership skills. Your personality profile includes natural leadership, so that is not really new. But you will be focusing attention on adding a more profound layer of management to this operation. Many will be building their own businesses and rubbing elbows with people of power. Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19): You will be changing your life through education, the law, or possibly international work (internet included). Your associations with formal bodies, i.e. religious or college institutions, will alter your perspective and your outlook. Many have decided to refresh their formal education or even begin anew in a different track. Major life changes evolve through partners. Gemini (May 20 - June 20): Circumstances are changing concerning income that is generated through investments, partner’s resources, or inheritance. This includes whatever income is outside of salary. It is important that you educate yourself in each of these areas. Some will begin to manage resources for other people. You must adopt a longer range perspective on your life.
1811
Cancer (June 21 - July 21):
Many Moon Children will experience changes within their marriages. The unwritten “rules” are up for grabs. Be wary of circumstances that might lead singles to believe you must marry or take on a partnership. One or more relationships will not continue as you have known in the past. Your perspective will be completely altered in this arena.
Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):
It is important to allow your job skills or your work environment to change. This is inevitable. The circumstances may be altered to the point that how you do your work is totally modified. You need to access new abilities. Giving better attention to your health routines will be required. Inherited physical weaknesses may be recognized so you can resolve or prevent problems.
Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):
Those of childbearing age will feel pressed toward the next decision. Do you want a baby in your future or do you not? If babies are not the subject, then personally creative births of other kinds will beg to be noticed and experienced. For either of these areas, it will feel as though it is imperative to make something happen.
Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):
You will be making important decisions concerning property, security and family. Circumstances beyond your control may change your perspective altogether on how or where you want to live in the future. Your need to create security may pressure you to redefine your identity. You will be pressured to know yourself far more deeply than ever before. Family secrets may be uncovered.
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):
Habit patterns of negative thought will be brought to the surface and eradicated. Long held beliefs require a fresh examination in order for you to move forward. It is time to add new management skills to your life. Language and communications with others will be affected and you will acquire greater power in this area. Apparent losses bring blessings in their wake.
Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):
Pluto will be traversing your sign until 2024. During that period you will come to know yourself more deeply than you might have thought possible. Many will concentrate upon growing their personal power and influence. You must maintain your high-minded principles, lest powers greater than you send you toppling.
Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):
Truths of your history that you may never have known or acknowledged will bubble to the surface to help you mature. Some may encounter old family skeletons that make a lot of difference in how you perceive your life story. Old mysteries and shadows will come to light and shift from unconscious enemies to far more conscious friends.
Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19): Your perspective will alter dramatically concerning your sense of community and contacts. You will Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): prefer to seek out the relationship(s) that have the The source of your self-esteem and personal values potential for depth. Beware of overly intense persons will change in major ways. In the western world, we or organizations who want to take over your life and measure self-esteem by income and what we do for a use your energy. The Fish, who always think they are living. This pattern of thinking will deepen and broaden invisible, will be surprised to discover they have more for you. Some will become wealthy and others paupers. influence than they ever imagined.

Geoff Maggs (48) was the best of that group, while Axe Creek’s Jamie Morgan, Travis Nolan and Jason Carbone all returned the figures of 2/41. Axe Creek commence this week at 1/12 with plenty of work to do. United fought back after Maiden Gully got off to a promising start, restricting them to 162, with Mark Smith (54) the standout batsman again. Best of the bowlers were Tim Gleeson, Steve Harris and Josh White who all took three wickets. United will resume on 1/73. Last season’s two standout sides, Spring Gully and Mandurang, are playing out an enthralling contest with the reigning premier Spring Gully posting a competitive 227
thanks to some late order heroics from Nick Manley (46), after Ricky Mannix had earlier made a well compiled 79. For Mandurang once again, Leigh Haw was best with the ball taking 6/53 off 20.1 overs, and they resume this week at 1/19 with the in form Matt Giri the player dismissed. Emu Creek will be hoping their 225 will be enough runs against West Bendigo with Ash Raeburn (65) the best result, with good support from Frank McCarthur (47). Brad McHugh, Douthie and Ken Bell all took two wickets each for West Bendigo. In the final game to complete Round Four Marong will resume on 2/71 confident of making the extra 62 runs they need for victory after they dismissed Sedgwick for 132. Jordan Knight (30) and Scott McKenzie (21) were the only batsmen to show any resistance against an attack led by Richard Murphy and Darren Cosgriff, who took three wickets each.
Meet the EVCA president EVCA president Ron Gray is known as a self-acclaimed Cricket Tragic. Ron started his playing career in the mid 1970s at Golden Square then moved to Kangaroo Flat before joining West Bendigo in 1982 where he is a retired president, player and life member. Ron is committed to the role of president of the EVCA working with fellow board members in promoting the association as it continues to grow and prosper. Ron’s goals for the EVCA are to make sure everyone has a chance to get a game of cricket played under the right rules and also the chance to promote the brand and good name of the EVCA.
Rally pair excels to win AN Epsom teenage rally duo have achieved success in the final round of the Victoria Rally Championship in their Hyundai Excel. The event, held from November 10 to 12, in the forests around Warragul, was also part of the final round of the Australian Rally Championship. The team of Steven Mackenzie, 19, and his brother Brent, 16, performed outstandingly in the final round of the championship, winning the event, two minutes 14 seconds in front of their nearest rival. This is Steven’s second year in the sport and he successfully defended both the Victorian Rally Championship P2 class (1400 to 1600cc) and the Hyundai Excel class. Brent has taken on the role of co-driver this year and has been very impressive in his first year at rallying. The pair also finished fifth in the two-wheel drive championship, which is outstanding considering the size and lack of modification to the car.
WINNING WAYS: Steven and Brent Mackenzie. The championship is conducted over five rounds, of which the boys won three and placed second in another, missing first place by 12 seconds. They also placed eighth and 10th outright in two events, no easy feat for the standard Excel. Maintenance, preparation
and service at events has been performed by dad (Murray) and family friend, Barry Farnell. The team are upgrading to a Ford Fiesta for next year’s season and are aiming to consistently place in the top 10 outright and achieve a top-three placing in the two wheel drive championship.

Strange back in the game SEABL veteran Sarah Strange is the first big signing for the Bendigo Lady Braves ahead of the 2012 season. Strange returns after an injury ravaged 2011 season, which resulted in serious hip surgery and a long rehabilitation. Braves coach Lukas Carey welcomed the addition of Strange. “Having Sarah return to the roster for season 2012 was a priority for us,” he said. “If completely healthy she will be required to play more minutes than previous years and will have a leadership role in the team. “A greater person you will not find and having her around our team will be a huge asset for us.”

Ready, set, GO!
Harrower’s future in doubt THERE is speculation about the future of Kristi Harrower as general manager of WNBL team the Bendigo Spirit. A number of sources have contacted www.bendigoweekly.com.au claiming Harrower has been dumped as GM. Harrower delayed signing her playing contract in September, as revealed by www.bendigoweekly.com.au, after only being offered the GM job for another year. It was understood she wanted a longer contract to enable her to stay in the game in Bendigo after her playing days. She ended up signing on as a player, but was still negotiating her off-court role. The Bendigo Weekly online understands Harrower, an Opals champion, was offered a reduced number of administration hours working for the Spirit, with inaugural GM Wendy James coming back into the top job. “It is unlikely she will accept that deal,” one close source said. “Is the timing disastrous? One would think so.” Despite the rumours, Spirit chairman Jeremi Moule has denied any decision has been made about the general manager. Harrower declined to comment on the issue. The Spirit have also announced a partnership with Sports Education and Development Australia (SEDA) that will provide continuing educational opportunities for Victorians interested in pursuing a career in sport.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN BENDIGO has won the rights to host the 17th Oceania Masters Athletics Championships in 2014. The biennial championships rotate between New Zealand, the Pacific Island nations and Australia. The event is expected to bring to Bendigo more than 400 masters competitors over the age of 30 years for the week-long event from January 5 to 11. Athletics Bendigo president Craig Burnett said a full program of track and field events will be contested in all of the five-year age
