ISSUE 853 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014

Double trouble for Rangers IT all starts now. That was the message Bendigo Spirit coach Bernie Harrower was drumming into his team this week, ahead of Sunday’s home WNBL semi final against the Dandenong Rangers.

One thing is certain, Kelsey Griffin, and Gabe Richards (pictured) are determined to continue The Spirit’s impressive home-court record this weekend.

BY ANTHONY RADFORD

GREATER Bendigo councillor Lisa Ruffell will be forced to publicly apologise to two fellow councillors next month after a State Government panel made a finding of misconduct against her.

The Councillor Conduct Panel found Cr Ruffell breached Greater Bendigo’s Code of Conduct seven times in denying councillors Elise Chapman and Helen Leach natural

justice in the treatment of a complaint.

The complaint centred around a March 18 incident where disability organisation Amicus alleged councillors Chapman and Leach acted inappropriately towards one of their clients, a claim that has not been proven.

Family in crisis – Page 3

The panel found Cr Ruffell’s handling of the complaint did not give the other two councillors an opportunity to respond.

The panel also criticised the handling of the complaint by senior council staff, and recommended a series of changes to the council’s Code of Conduct.

■

The panel’s findings, as well as Cr Ruffell’s apology, will be tabled at the council’s March 5 meeting.

The apology states: “I apologise to Crs H Leach and E Chapman for my handling of the letter from Amicus dated March 19, 2013. I acknowledge that I did not treat you fairly.

“I recognise that I have caused you distress by not providing you promptly with the letter of complaint, failing to give you an opportunity to respond to it and to fairly determine the issues prior to coming to a conclusion.

“I understand that my public apology to Amicus was not appropriate and prejudged the issues in question.

Yours faithfully, Cr Ruffell.”

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Metro style for homes

By CHRISTINE McGINN

A NEW precedent is being set for homes in and around the Bendigo hospital according to a leading real estate agent.

Barry Plant Bendigo director Bill Williams said there was significant interest for townhouses built to Melbourne specifications in close proximity to the hospital.

“If these suites sell successfully, it will significantly change the market in the area,” he said.

“It will set a precedent in this area.”

Ten double-storey townhouses on Bayne Street, North Bendigo, are at the heart of this property change.

On the market from $550,000 each, the threebedroom-plus-study homes resemble chic, detailed inner city urban residences.

Two townhouses have already been bought off the plans, promising financial growth in the area.

Although significantly higher in price, Mr Williams said the market was there.

“The professionals, often young profession-

als who have been around North Bendigo for a long time, are choosing the convenience of a smaller block,” he said.

“If the townhouses sell, it will set a precedent.

People will expect to pay $550,000 for homes around the area.”

On average, older homes on a 1000 square metre block sell for about $350,000 in the area, according to Mr Williams.

Mr Williams said interest was flooding in from various sections from, locals and from Melbourne, wishing to buy the homes.

Eight of the homes remain on the market, with purchaser interest increasing.

CR Martin Real Estate director Clive Martin also noted the growth around the hospital.

“We are still getting inquiries from people looking for properties in and around the area, trying to find development opportunities,” he said.

Bendigo’s property market remains strong and steady, especially as the hospital reaches new heights.

TOWNHOUSES: The new style may set a precedent.

A tough waiting game

Police news

Garages targeted

By CHRISTINE McGINN

CHANTELLE and Josh Morrison are set to become parents again with their fourth baby only three weeks away.

Yet, the Bendigo couple and parents of three boys, are unsure whether they will be able to bring home their new family member.

The unborn child has congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a condition which causes a hole in the diaphragm allowing organs to move up.

“It is where the diaphragm hasn’t formed properly and it has a hole in it. Organs come up that shouldn’t and pushes on the chest cavity. It affects the lungs and pushes the heart to the other side,” Mrs Morrison said.

“The only way to repair it is through surgery after birth.”

Doctors have warned that the extent of the condition will only be known when the newborn is under the knife.

Mrs Morrison said parents and families are emotionally burdened, waiting to find out if their child will survive.

“Be prepared for a roller coaster ride. It’s not a positive time, there is nothing positive about it but there are people who can give you the support you need. No one knows it all,” she said.

“There are a lot of unknowns.

We are very informed, it’s the best way to prepare you for it. But we are emotionally and mentally not prepared, it’s just one day at a time. “ Friend Carolyn O’Sullivan

SPECIAL TIME: Connor, Chantelle, Josh and two year-old Lucas Morrison are waiting for the safe arrival of their new baby.

Brother Bailey is away at camp. Photo: VICKI HARRINGTON has a fundraising campaign in the pipeline to raise funds for the child’s ongoing care after surgery.

“It’s very early days for them and they don’t know if the child will survive,” Mrs O’Sullivan said.

“It would be good if we could

alleviate some of their financial strain... if people will open their hearts to help.”

The cause of CDH remains unknown with funding needed for further research.

Locals can also show their sup-

port by donating to CDH Australia at www.cdh.org.au or email news@ bendigoweekly.com.au.

But for the Bendigo family, all they really want is a healthy baby.

“We just care about our baby coming home,” she said.

Profit down, but bank confident for future BENDIGO Bank has announced an interim profit down on last year’s result.

Managing director Mike Hirst announced a statutory profit after tax of $180.7 million for the six months ending December 31, 2013.

Last year’s interim profit was $189.4 million.

Mr Hirst said the consequences of a low-growth environment are reflected in the result.

“We’re seeing low growth due to subdued demand and an increase in people making additional efforts to pay down their debt,” he said.

“While this impacts the bank’s growth, this is fantastic for our customers as they’re building equity and greater financial wealth.

“It also means we’re seeing low levels of arrears in the book – a natural outcome of people making additional repayments.”

However, Mr Hirst said the bank was moving into an “exciting” new phase.

“We’ve strengthened our business and it’s now more diversified through the acquisitions we have made over the last few years.

“We look forward to continuing to work with our staff, customers, partners and share-

This is fantastic for our customers as they’re building equity and greater financial wealth “We’ve moved from consolidation to strengthening and now we’re entering an investment phase,” he said.

“This is a very exciting time for our bank, we’ve made the appropriate changes to our business and we’ve been rewarded with rating upgrades and strong balance sheet growth.

holders as we to strive to be Australia’s leading customerconnected bank.”

When talking about the outlook for the bank, Mr Hirst said he didn’t expect any significant change in operating conditions.

“Things should remain stable although I expect the focus

of competition to shift from deposits to assets,” he said.

“Given how well our brand resonates with our customers and communities, our bank will be able to compete effectively in this environment.

“Our new loan approvals grew strongly half on half as we increased our customer base.

“We continue to lead customer satisfaction and advocacy and this isn’t limited to our retail brand.

“It also covers Business Banking where we were voted the Best Business Bank for nine out of 12 months in 2013, and in Wealth our SmartStart Super was awarded a five-star rating by CANSTAR. “Demand for our offering remains strong and we will build upon this momentum.”

Row over water use

By ANTHONY RADFORD

A GROUP of Lockwood residents is kicking up a stink over plans to spray recycled water on nearby paddocks.

Hazeldene’s has negotiated a deal with a local farmer to take the company’s Class C and sometimes Class B recycled water for his cattle property.

The water is usually stored in onsite ponds, but recent expansion has resulted in the company running out of room in its Lockwood property.

A handful of local residents contacted Hazeldene’s after noticing the pivot sprinklers going up in neighbouring paddocks.

They fear runoff from the water onto their properties, some of which are zoned residential.

Sarah Davis said she fears contamination.

“We have a dam three metres from the fence line,” she said.

“We use that water to water vegetables and we all eat the yabbies in the dam.

“They are literally dumping their waste on our backyards.”

Ms Davis said she was concerned over the lack of consultation from Hazeldene’s.

Locals were only told of the plan after they contacted the company, on February 7, once the irrigation systems were in place.

Local Ron Shipperd said a “hastily-arranged” meeting be-

tween the company and locals was a “feeble” attempt at consultation.

“If they were seriously concerned why weren’t we informed a lot earlier as we only found out about it by doing a bit of detective work,” he said.

“Further study of the information, plus the huge amount being sprayed has horrified all of us.

“We all agreed ‘no’, as it was far too close to the residential areas and the risk of contamination into all of our dams would be too great.”

Hazeldene’s Environment and Sustainability manager Nick Barber said the legal buffer distances of 50 metres to surface water and 100 metres to houses would be met by the plan.

He said of the eight nearby properties, only three had concerns.

Mr Barber said the company had also committed to install drainage ditches where neighbours were concerned about runoff, fence-line trees to catch spray drift and test nearby dams to ensure water quality is not impacted.

“There are strict guidelines over the quality and use of recycled water and (Class A) recycled water is currently used for irrigation in parks and sporting ovals around Bendigo,” he said.

“We have undertaken an assessment and have confirmed the pivot irrigators comply with EPA buffer distance requirements as

SHOCKED: Leah Ryan.

Warning on boat fires

CONCERNED: Sarah Davis with her children Van and Lola. we have developed an Environmental Improvement Plan for the application of water through the pivot system.

“This is currently being reviewed by the EPA. “We have not operated the irrigation system and will not do so until we have approval from the EPA for its use.

“We hope to have an outcome that will satisfy all parties ad enable local farmers to use what

would otherwise be a wasted resource.”

According to Western Water, Class C recycled water may be used for a number of uses including cooked or processed human food crops including wine grapes and olives, for livestock grazing and fodder, municipal water use and human food crops grown over a metre above the ground and eaten raw such as apples, pears, table grapes and cherries.

Relay time is back THE La Trobe University Athletics Complex in Flora Hill will once again be a hive of community activity for the annual Cancer Council’s Bendigo Relay for Life, which raised more than $153,000 last year.

This year’s relay is being held on April 4 and 5 at the La Trobe Athletics Complex in Flora Hill and 45 teams are registered so far.

Last year’s event attracted 1200 participants from 75 teams.

The Bravehearts have been part

of the Bendigo relay since 2005 raising in excess of $31,000 to help fund a cure for cancer.

“We’re hoping for a really big effort this year, and are aiming to break the $10,000 barrier,” Braveheart team captain Wendy Aitkenhea said.

To help the Bravehearts achieve their ambitious target a triva evening is being held Saturday March 1, at the South Bendigo Bowls Club with all welcome.

BURNS victim Leah Ryan is calling all boat-users to fire-proof their vessels before setting sail on Lake Eppalock.

Transport Safety Victoria and Victoria’s maritime safety regulator are appealing to all boat owners to be safe on the water.

Ms Ryan bears the scars of the flash fire last November, suffering second degree burns to 15 per cent of her body.

She spent three days in hospital recovering from the burns caused as the boat was being restarted on Lake Eppalock.

Ms Ryan’s pregnant friend also suffered burns to her upper arm and lips.

Four boat explosions and two boat fires have happened on Lake Eppalock since January 2009.

“The motor wouldn’t start and we tried quite a few times. We flooded the engine and a fire ball, caused by fuel vapours in the hull igniting, came out and I was right in its path,” Ms Ryan said.

“The experience was very traumatic. I went into shock and was just screaming – I was unable to calm down for a while after it happened.

“I know vibrations can cause fuel leaks so it is also important to check before restarting your boat for the return trip to shore.”

TSV spokesperson Paul Corkill said that all boaters should take necessary precautions to avoid similar incidents.

“Most vessel fires start from electrical problems or immediately after re-fuelling,” he said.

Mr Corkhill recommended regularly checking fuel and electrical systems by qualified people, refuelling or restarting without people on board, keeping your fire extinguisher in good order and have it placed in a conspicuous and easily accessible location on the vessel.”

Council in dispute with EPA over rehabilitation of site

Landfill row grows

By ANTHONY RADFORD

GREATER Bendigo council is in dispute with the Enivironment Protection Authority about the standard of rehabilitation at the former White Hills landfill.

Council has lodged proceedings at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal against the EPA, with the hearing set down for late next month.

As part of its long-term lease of the site, the EPA has issued council with two Post Closure Pollution Abatement Notices.

Council is claiming the cleanup measures are too strict and is disputing them.

Council Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard

said the EPA’s standards were too high and would cost ratepayers too much.

“We principally agree with the EPA in the need to do investigation work and potentially

best-practice standard is too high.

“The legal advice we have is that may not be an appropriate standard to rehabilitate the White Hills landfill,” he said.

We suggest that is not necessary in all cases do rehabilitation work at the former White Hills landfill. The main point we have with the EPA is about the standards that should be applied to the rehabilitation,” he said.

Mr Fuzzard said the EPA’s

“We want to test if that is the standard.”

The EPA standard includes comprehensive long-term monitoring.

“We suggest that is not necessary in all cases,” Mr

Fuzzard said.

“The cost of rehabilitation of landfills can be very significant.”

Council is currently in a dispute with Hopley Demolition over part of the site.

They claim Hopley has illegally used part of the former tip, next to their business, to store demolition rubble.

Council has launched legal action against Hopley to rehabilitate the section, however that support within council seems to be waiving.

Only five of the nine councillors now support the legal action, with four wanting a negotiated solution for the entire area.

Darwin’s war remembered FAMILY members of soldiers who served in Darwin during World War II came together on Wednesday.

They took time out to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Darwin.

The service was held at the Bendigo District RSL in Havilah Road.

RSL sub-branch president Cliff Richards said family members had a greater role in the organisation and presentation of the service this year.

“The involvement of family helps build greater respect and understanding for the service given in northern Australia during World War II and particularly in Darwin when Austra-

lia came under enemy attack for the first time on 19 February 1942,” Mr Richards said.

“We believe their participation greatly contributed to the continuation of this important annual commemoration and the Darwin Defenders 1942-45 Commemorative Committee of Bendigo.”

Mr Richards said Darwin Defenders 194245 had been established to commemorate the devastating bombing of Darwin as a way of reminding all Australians of the desperate times in the nation’s history and of the bravery of the people who defended Darwin in one of the country’s darkest hours.

Tailings storage set to increase

COSTERFIELD’S open cut mine is set to increase its tailings storage capacity by 90 per cent.

Mandalay Resources has applied to Greater Bendigo council for a permit to rise its Bombay Tailings Storage Facility embankment 5.2 metres.

The Bombay TSF is set to reach its storage capacity by July this year if no action is taken.

“The purpose of the proposal is to store tailings produced from the Mandalay Resources Brunswick Processing Plant which will enable production rates at the Augusta Mine to be maintained for the current life of the mine,” the application stated.

“It will not have any adverse effect on future land uses and future development in the surrounding area.”

The embankment would be raised to 15m with a minimum 4m crest width, ensuring processing continued until 2019.

Bombay TSF’s embankment would reach its maximum height, after capped and topsoil is placed on it, about level with the surrounding Box-Ironbark Forest’s canopy.

“Bombay TSF is nearing capacity and to ensure that the Augusta mine can continue to operate an embankment rise is required on the Bombay TSF to provide further tailings storage capacity,” the application stated.

Mandalay Resources sustainability manager Andrew Mattiske said the applications supported Costerfield Operations’ gold and antimony mining and processing.

“By refurbishing and expanding existing tailings facilities, Mandalay will avoid the need to disturb other areas of land surrounding the mine site,” he said.

“Whilst the footprint of the current facilities will be expanded, the land disturbance associated with these works will be minimised.”

Under a two-stage process, the embankment would rise by 3m then 2.2m, built from stone and rock materials from the waste rock, extracted in underground mining operations.

A 5m embankment rise was approved in March 2011 with completion finished in September last year.

Mandalay Resources has also applied to increase its Heathcote open cut mine TSF embankment by an additional 6m.

Council is yet to make a decision on the application.

The panel, chaired by lawyer Roger Batrouney, found councillors Chapman and Leach had not received natural justice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural justice to the councillors accused of inappropriate conduct requires that they be informed of the allegations made against them; be provided with an opportunity to respond; and obtain a fair hearing,â&#x20AC;? the findings stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These actions should have followed after Cr Ruffell received the letter from Amicus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If, by whatever means, it was conveyed to Cr Ruffell

by Amicus that it wanted the letter to be treated as confidential, the correct response would have been to inform Amicus that the letter cannot be acted upon without extending natural justice to the councillors referred to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This included providing them with a copy of it and seeking their response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The refusal of Cr Ruffell to give the councillors a copy of the Amicus letter is more curious when a copy was given when Crs Leach and Chapman applied for a copy of it under the Freedom of Information Act.â&#x20AC;?

The panel also criticised the advice given to Cr Ruffell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Cr Ruffellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence, she received advice and assistance from the CEO and senior council

NO COMMENT: Lisa Ruffell. staff which may have fallen short of a comprehensive, balanced and informative guidance to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existing council policies and procedures were deficient to deal with this situation and those that existed were not applied properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There appears to have been amongst Cr Ruffell and the council officers, a proper concern about the letter of complaint from Amicus, but this was not balanced with a proper recognition of, and application of, the principles of natural justice to the two councillors accused of misconduct.â&#x20AC;?

Cr Leach said she was

happy with the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a long saga and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disappointing it has taken so long to get any kind of natural justice,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we have to wait a couple more weeks until it is tabled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly would be good if we can get it out and the public knew we deserved better natural justice.â&#x20AC;?

Cr Ruffell, Cr Chapman and chief executive officer Craig Niemann refused to comment.

Pokies have impact

By CHRISTINE McGINN

we are under the tab of the number of machines in the municipality.â&#x20AC;?

But Cr Helen Leach said people had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;democratic right to gambleâ&#x20AC;? if they wanted too.

Estimates show a third to half of the revenue from EGMs comes from players

We need to make sure we are under the tab of the number of machines nomic costs to the city have divided local leaders as they attempt to slot balance in the debate.

Cr Rod Fyffe called council to remain under the 756 EGM limit and encourage businesses to reduce their need for the machines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with addiction problems have trouble resisting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure

with addictive and nonrational behaviours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something drastically wrong when addictive behaviour generates such a high percentage of the total revenue,â&#x20AC;? Mr Pingeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report stated.

According to the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 inquiry, Loddon Mallee has the most problem gamblers, the second high-

est moderate-risk gamblers and topped the list for the most low-risk gamblers at 6.1 per cent.

But the data also showed that Loddon Mallee had the second lowest number of non-gamblers (18.8 per cent) and nonproblem gamblers (72 per cent) of the eight regions included in the inquiry.

A spokesperson for the Liquor and Gaming Regulation Minister Edward Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donohue said the government is tackling the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is clear that problem gambling has a deep economic and social impact,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It must also be remembered that gambling is a legitimate form of entertainment.â&#x20AC;?

COMMUNITY concerns about the costs of electronic gaming machines is reflected in the social and economic impacts to the city, according to an independent report.

Greater Bendigo gamblers are set to lose about $48 million this financial year on poker machines, three million more than last year.

About $37 million is spent on the social costs of EGM gambling addictions, ranging from relationship and family breakdowns, thefts and social dysfunction annually.

The report, prepared for council by author Ian Pinge, said the social costs of problem gambling in Bendigo were â&#x20AC;&#x153;very largeâ&#x20AC;? and called for government intervention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rational consumer

behaviour and a consequent reduction in demand could not be expected,â&#x20AC;? the report stated.

EGM gambling costs Greater Bendigo about $58m a year, only bringing in a $25.24m benefit to the city.

ALL MINE: Dave Mills has made a big investment in Rotochopper.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN.

WHAT is big and red and eats pallets? The answer comes in the form of a mighty beast called Rotochopper.

The machine has a few uses, but the main one being employed at Epsom Sand and Soil is turning industrial wood waste into mulch.

Bendigo firms can offload their pallets for free, saving tip costs, and house

truss firms are also supplying the raw material in the form of offcuts.

Load the wood in, and an hour later 75 cubic metres of wood mulch has been created, and coloured to suit into the bargain.

Epsom Sand and Soil owner Dave Mills forked out a cool $487,000 for the Rotochopper, imported from the United States, and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident of

it being worthwhile, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first of its kind in Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take waste material and turn it into something useful,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rotochopper separates the nails from the pallets, and colours the material as it moves through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally it would take three operations to achieve what this machine can do,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The batch we have here is coloured with red oxide, but basically we can do any colour.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Mills has been in the family business for 35 years, so knows a thing or two about the game, but saw a need for composting on a large scale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rotochopper can also work its way through green cuttings,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Some free-to-air TV channels in Bendigo and surrounds will change frequencies on 27 February 2014 As the final step in the move to digital-only TV, some of your channels will soon change frequencies.

On or after 27 February 2014 most TV viewers in Bendigo and surrounds will need to retune their digital TV, set-top box or digital TV recorder to keep watching their favourite shows.

Temporary outages affecting all channels may occur on or around the retune.

To find out if this is your retune date and to sign up for an SMS or email alert, visit the website.

INGENUITY is the key factor behind the success of BB Truss and Timber.

A combination of this ingenuity, plus considerable research, drove the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction of its new factory in Piper Road, East Bendigo, in 2005.

It is here, in a computer-controlled, fully automated manufacturing facility, that the company produces its three main products â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roof trusses, wall frames and multi-strut floor joists for double storey homes.

Virtually all output is custom-made in specific shapes and sizes, requiring in-house design capability of the highest order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create the best factory of its kind in the world,â&#x20AC;? co-founder and joint owner Geoff Baxter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we checked 25 truss and timber factories in Australia for the most efficient equipment, and did similar research overseas before starting construction.â&#x20AC;?

The factory boasts a 6000 square metre facility on a 3.5 hectare site which has set the standard for similar facilities around Australia.

Judging for the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national awards began in 2007 and since then, the factory has taken out awards in all major divisions, plus the 2012 Frame and Truss Manufacturers Association Best Overall Frame and Truss Plant.

Mr Baxter said more than 10,000 Melbourne homes have used his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products in the past 20 years, representing around 90 per cent of output.

Everything from small extensions to multimillion dollar mansions have been built with BB Truss and Timber products.

A recent innovation is turning a waste byproduct into a lucrative part of the business operation.

Earlier, in 2013, the company purchased two state-of-the-art machines, a shredder and a briquette press from Germany to process offcuts and sawdust into briquettes.

An order has already been received for as many as the company can produce.

BB Truss and Timber was founded as a family business in Castlemaine 25 years ago, and is now co-owned by Mr Baxter and his wife Tania.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piper Road site employs about 60 staff with another 12 people employed in Keilor Park on design and preparing quotes.

Axe call for tree

By ANTHONY RADFORD

RESIDENTS living near a large tree that has dropped five limbs in a year are still calling for it to be chopped down.

Greater Bendigo council staff this week trimmed parts of the old tree near Spring Hill Drive at Spring Gully.

That followed the Bendigo Weekly revealing last week nearby residents were in fear of their lives from falling branches.

Council Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said staff trimmed the tree to ease the fears of locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider the limbs we are remov-

ing to be in danger of falling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing it as a precaution to give some comfort to people that the tree is OK.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Fuzzard said he believed the tree was

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are clearly not going to take anything of significance to make any real difference,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel it was a slap in the face, a token gesture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of

We are doing it as a precaution to give some comfort to people structurally sound.

However, local residents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy.

One resident, a mother of two, said it was a miracle her children were not outside when the first branch fell last year.

She has the backing of a 300-strong petition.

those who live around the tree all petitioned for its removal not for a few smaller branches to be removed.â&#x20AC;?

Cr Elise Chapman has been the driving force on council behind the locals.

She tried to get the matter debated as an

urgent motion at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, but council voted not to debate it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disturbed council wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even discuss it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my role. I saw it as a 10/10 as far as seriousness and urgency goes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the same meeting, council voted to remove four trees from a roadside to construct a second entrance for a resident, and we voted to cut down 18 hectares of trees for the airport expansion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would be hundreds of trees there we are knocking down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the logic.â&#x20AC;?

Bendigo Weekly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday, February 21, 2014

Recognition from afar

BENDIGOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Darren Doherty was awarded a Hawaii State Senate commendation from Senator Mike Gabbard last month.

The award took place at a private dinner in Honolulu and marked Mr Dohertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and leadership on largescale ecological agriculture systems around the world over the past 21 years.

This honour endorses Mr Dohertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, in particular with his development of the Regrarian Platform which producers and farm consultants now use to farm and live in a way which regenerates soils, farms, landscapes and communities.

Mr Doherty was presented the award during a 10 day consultancy and training tour of the Ha-

waiian Islands.

He was working with the University of Hawaii, large private landholders, regenerative agriculture non-profits, indigenous Hawaiian groups and a private 50 lot residential development on a 100 hectare former pineapple farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 10 days of hard work, with one evening off for sightseeing,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Doherty said.

Heathcote hosts a classic THE sounds of Brahms and Schubert will be heard across a three-day Heathcote classical music festival.

In its third year, the Sanguine Estate Music Festival runs from February 28 to March 2 at the winery.

Festival goers will relax to the classical music sounds of Australian and international artists including; Italian violinist Lorenza Borrani, pianist Daniel de Borah and cellist Chris Howlett.

Five concerts will sound across the weekend, with Sanguine Estate wines and Monsieur Pierre gourmet food also on offer across the weekend.

Chamber music stars Howard Penny, Chris Howlett, Brett Dean, Ian Munro, Paul Wright and Tobias Breider will also delight the crowds with their vibrant sounds.

A welcome concert will kick off the programme with violins, and pianos before a late gourmet supper on Friday night.

Packed with concerts, gourmet meals and a gala dinner, Saturday is set to be the favourite day among festival goers.

Before parting, music lovers will relax with a farewell concert and gourmet barbecue lunch.

Classical music lovers can relax with a glass of wine, with the option of attending certain days or the entire weekend.

Event passes range from $120 to $548 with one Iconic Weekend couple pass left.

Merit decides tenders

SPECIAL REP

GREATER Bendigo council does take local content very seriously when awarding public tenders for services and project work.

But it cannot be the only determining factor.

Our ratepayers rightly expect that we will also look at the overall quality of the tender bids, capacity to deliver and, of course, the price.

We are required by law to run a fair and competitive tender process that does not exclude businesses outside our region from competing for work.

The value of lump sum tenders awarded since December, 2012 is $12.26 million. While this is certainly a lot of money, it is only a relatively small portion of the funds council spends on goods, services and capital works each year.

Of this $12.26m, local businesses did not bid for $7.74m, or 63 per cent, of available contracts and therefore could not be considered for this work.

That puts the overall success rate of â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than 30 per centâ&#x20AC;? cited by the Bendigo Weekly into perspective and shows that local businesses are quite successful at winning the council tenders they bid for.

Best way to volunteer THOUSANDS of CFA volunteers have been called to the front line of this summer’s major fires, with strike teams from this district’s brigades among them, and again many Victorians have approached our volunteers on the fireground, wanting to help.

Sadly, most of those members of the public are neither trained nor dressed for firefighting, but CFA volunteers appreciate the offer and here are three practical ways those good Victorians can help: 1 - Make a donation to help your volunteer brigade with better facilities, extra equipment or even an extra truck even $5 or $10 can help 2 - Become a volunteer – you can train and become a qualified firefighter, or you can be one of the thousands of non-operational volunteers who handle administration, maintain equipment, raise funds or educate the community 3 - Be a well prepared Victorian – prepare your property so it is less likely to burn, and prepare your family with a plan so everyone knows what to do if there is a fire in the area There is information on how to prepare at www.emergency.vic.gov.au or call 1800 240 667.

Trees ahead I FEEL compelled to respond to your article “Call to put people first” Bendigo Weekly, February 14, by Anthony Radford.

It is suggested that the magnificent old River Red Gum tree located on the west side of Mandurang Road, just south of the One Tree Hill Ho-

tel be cut down because it has recently dropped a couple of limbs.

There is currently a petition being signed by a few residents to have the tree removed.

I would suggest that these people are in the minority and most people would favour the retention of the tree.

To suggest that Greater Bendigo council is putting trees before people is ridiculous. As long as there are trees there will always be a risk of falling limbs.

Council has spent much time and effort in maintaining this tree for the benefit of the community because of its heritage values.

The tree in question is very old and probably pre-dates European settlement in Australia.

It is a tree of significance and may be the best example of a River Red Gum in the area.

It is home to numerous birds and other wildlife and provides a splendid vista in to the surrounding area.

Council has previously identified this tree as a tree of significance and created a small reserve around it. They have conducted maintenance on the tree and trimmed many limbs over the years.

To cut down this tree would be a travesty.

There are numerous river red gums in the vicinity, particularly near the Spring Gully Creek.

All of these trees could drop limbs from time to time and it is impossible to predict when this might happen.

The only way to eliminate the risk of limbs falling is to cut down all the trees – particularly river red gums.

To do this would be absurd.

There is no danger of any limbs from this tree falling on houses. One can only wonder why someone who is worried about falling limbs would choose to live un-

der a large river red gum.

Living among trees has its risks. The answer is not to cut them all down – particularly the magnificent old tree in Spring Gully.

Trevor Marshall, Spring Gully

100 years of fundraising THE centenary of Red Cross in Australia this year marks 100 years of fundraising by tens of thousands of Red Cross members and volunteers in local towns and suburbs right throughout Australia.

Australia joined the growing international Red Cross movement in 1914, preparing food parcels for soldiers and prisoners of war, and caring for the wounded.

One volunteer reportedly wore out four pairs of shoes walking house to house to collect money to buy a Red Cross field ambulance that was later sent to Egypt.

Today Red Cross runs a huge, diverse range of programs with a network of 90 regional offices, 180 shops and first aid training all dedicated to helping vulnerable people.

Whether it’s raising money to help people recover from disasters, providing comfort and protection for refugees in conflict zones, helping vulnerable young people and families in crisis, or caring for the elderly and isolated; our local Red Cross volunteers always seem to be there when Australians need them most.

To make a donation, or to find out how you can get involved go to our website at redcrosscalling.org.au or phone 1800 008 831.

this bendigo life Bendigo gold or not?

By TED COLEMAN

IN an article, Bendigo the envy of the state (Weekly, January 24), Stan Liacos’ claims about Bendigo’s 2002 to 2012 economy appear inaccurate. Here in lies a danger. Unchallenged, puff becomes fact.

“The last 10 or so years period has been steady progress … there is nothing to suggest our positive momentum and growth is going to slow.” Not so.

Council’s National Institute of Economic and Industry Research data and graphs show both employment and gross regional product trends noticeably slowing from 2007.

Local jobs growth in 2002 was 3.93 per cent, by 2012 it slowed to 1.66 per cent. GRP grew 5.6 per cent in 2002, by 2012 it slowed to 1.3 per cent. (www.economy.id.com.au/bendigo) “We have outperformed all other notable regional cities in Victoria ....” Wrong.

In 2011-12 (the last period analysed) Bendigo’s per capita GRP was “outperformed” by Wodonga by 18 per cent and Horsham by 8 per cent (Regional

Development Victoria – Regional Cities Economic Profile, July 2013). Un-notable?

“The past decade has been an economic and cultural coming of age … the city was shaking its “it-won’t-work-here” attitude …

Bendigo doesn’t think of itself as second-rate anymore … Victoria is beginning to hear great things about Bendigo … it is no longer being seen as a static country town, but a dynamic small city.”

In my opinion this is an assumption-loaded marketing ploy for the self-serving. The City at times has been static due to national or international conditions; never second-rate.

In the July 14, 2006 Weekly, Stan said Bendigo was complacent. He noted his thoughts were “...based more on a sense, than proof”. We do not have that proof.

Bendigo is where it is today because of the cumulative efforts of past and present Bendigonians, not because of recent marketing ploys.

The “... contribution of tourism to the Bendigo economy has also grown significantly since 2007, rising from $868m to $1.15 billion in 2012 ...” Really?

Council’s profile (www. economy.id.com.au/bendigo/tourism-value?sEndYear=2011) shows tourism performance figures tumbling ‘significantly’.

Full-time tourism employment down 82; direct sales dropped $16 million to $196 million; and value-adding (the most accurate industry contribution measure) plunged $11.3 million to $97 million. Do we ignore this information?

Are city investment decisions based on wobbly information?

Council’s Independent Review noted some citizens “claims were not accurate and damage council’s reputation in the community and wider region.” Would that now apply to some council reports?

The report notes “significant merit in the creation of a separate entity to act as council’s economic development and innovation driver”.

The Reviewers recommended the investigation of removing City Futures directorate from council to “increase and sustain economic growth in the region … improve transparency in performance and reporting”, and seek to be “cost neutral” – saving ratepayers near $10 million.

Business and media rarely analyse what council serves up.

If things don’t seem quite right, then people must challenge, be forthright, and put their case. Only then can our City be confident about its growth and future.

pk with Peter Kennedy

turn for the worse.

If there are problems with individual councillors, or concerns about behaviour, they should be addressed at the time.

They should not be left to fester and exist only in private asides or conversations.

If there is a problem with the way council business is being managed around the table, then the boil needs to be lanced.

Those who stand by and do nothing are just as culpable as those who, inadvertently or not, cause the concern.

Could it be argued this is simply democracy in action, that Bendigonians elected these nine councillors, warts and all, and we should just harden up?

Our friends on Corio Bay are living examples of why the answer to the above question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;?.

For years, the City of Greater Geelong has fought itself.

Party politics has caused inadequacy and infighting

around the council table.

A lack of cohesion at City Hall can lead to a lack of strategic direction that, in the long term, affects us all.

While there is no one issue to blame for Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current economic woes and unsure future, having disruption and ideological differences taking councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds off the bigger picture over the past decade has not helped.

Every now and then we see a similar situation down the road at Ballarat.

While it is important to have a variety of voices represented on council, a tough task at the best of times, the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, and most of our livelihoods, rests with a strong, cohesive group.

We can achieve great things when we work as a group.

Different voices and different views ensure the best solutions are always arrived at, but there are limits.

One feels Greater Bendigo council is reaching its.

Tackling the problem OUR health system is in desperate need of an overhaul.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a touch ironic, and even sad, that something so integral to the provision of health services for all Australians could in itself be so unwell.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an admission of failure within our society and the need for changes.

That private health insurance premiums are set to rise a further six or so per cent come April should worry everyone in our community, not just those who choose to pay the premiums in the first place.

And while many Australians are in a position where they can pay a proposed $6 co-payment fee to help fund improvements to the health system, the bitter taste of this particular antidote might be made just a little less so if we could all be assured that such payments were helping to make the system better.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so sure that this would indeed be the case.

For too long, too many Australians have wallowed

in the excess of poor dietary choices and health management. Once upon a time we scoffed at America and its largesse. Now we are almost as bad.

Further, if some Australians are going to be slugged an extra $6 to see their GP or visit the emergency depart-

has to be done, and sooner, to help improve health standards and ease the burden on an ever-straining health system.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the concept of a so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;fat taxâ&#x20AC;? on some foods might not be such a bad idea.

Paying out for health cover does nothing to make us healthy ment of their local hospital, we also need to be sure that such a fee does not end up driving people away from going to the doctor in the first place.

One of the great challenges to fixing our ailing health system rests in recognising the need to eliminate the actual causes and not just treat the symptoms.

The increasing incidence of diabetes and obesity related illnesses, coupled with the fact Australians are living longer, tells us something different

aging to alert consumers to the health dangers, and benefits, of what we eat and drink would also help.

Educating consumers about the choices they make around diet and exercise is also important.

Australians have never poured so much of their hardearned household incomes into paying health insurance premiums, but paying out for health cover does nothing to make us healthy. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

editorial

THERE is little doubt there is a split among Greater Bendigo council.

Three councillors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Elise Chapman, Helen Leach and Peter Cox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are seemingly often at odds with the rest of the ninemember council.

Revelations of the findings of the Code of Conduct Panel in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bendigo Weekly will do little to ease those tensions.

The fact the panel was called for at all is proof the split exists.

For a few months after the late-2012 election, things were going along smoothly.

New ideas were everywhere and councillors were working as a team.

Now it is clear they are not.

The Weekly does not want to enter into the debate over who is wrong and who is right.

Not only is that foolish, but each circumstance should be seen as separate, and not part of a pattern â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps.

Either way, unless council acts, things could take a further

bookclub review

A coming of age The Lost Child

by Suzanne McCourt The Text Publishing Company $29.99 â&#x20AC;&#x153;YOU werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really wanted,â&#x20AC;? a classmate tells young Sylvie Meehan, in Suzanne McCourtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Lost Child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother says they only had you because they were trying to save a breaking marriageâ&#x20AC;?.

McCourtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut novel is not only a bittersweet account of a young girl in the 1950s growing up in a fishing village on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern coast, but also an exploration of the complexity of familial relationships and what a struggle it can be to survive them.

Four-year-old tomboy Sylvie is caught in the middle of her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disintegrating relationship.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desperate to win the love of her adulterous, war veteran father Mick, an unreliable, often violent man who rarely acknowledges her.

7+$1. <28

Court, the voice becomes more credible.

The characters are complex and surprisingly sympathetic, despite their failings, and Sylvieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination, humour and insight make what might have been an utterly bleak and depressing novel into an absorbing and often funny coming-of-age story.

Focusing more on character than plot, The Lost Child does meander a little and has no easy answers or neat endings, but those who enjoy lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complexities and difficulties will find it a thoroughly engrossing read. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vanessa Hughes

<PIVS aW]

Her bitter and mentally unstable mother, Nella, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost in her bubbleâ&#x20AC;?, too absorbed in her own suffering to notice the effect it has on her children.

Sylvie idolises her brother Dunc, who loves birds and Phantom comics, but he also craves his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval and, emulating him, Dunc becomes cold and distant.

The one adult who seems to truly see and care about Sylvie is her teacher, Miss Taylor, whose happy family Sylvie longs to be a part of.

Through her childhood and early teens Sylvie copes with the disappearance of her brother and her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffocating neediness as she strives to understand her world and to define a place for herself within it.

Written in the first person, Sylvie is initially far more observant and eloquent than a four-year-old should be, but as we follow Sylvie through the next decade of her life Mc-

The problem with mice...

A colleague has taken some extreme steps in a bid to remove a pest

W

E all know someone who freaks at the sight of a spider or a snake, and where would cartoons be without the elephant scared of a mouse.

Thing is, mice do scare people. I can claim to be rough and tough, as I am wary of snakes rather than scared and really don’t worry too much about mice and spiders.

Scoop McGinn our cub reporter has mice.

Of course she claims they are rats, but people usually do.

When I say she has mice, I mean the house she lives in has mice, though by the look of her hair recently I wouldn’t be too sure.

We have these stories regaled to us in the office and to be honest I didn’t believe most of it after her story of the ghostly Christmas tinsel, but of course with the modern phone, all stories come with pictures.

It seems Scoop went home one day and saw a couple of dead mice in traps her flatmates had set. She had to

empty the traps and squealed more than the mice while doing so.

Next time she was home alone and feeling a bit under the weather she spied three mice, or one mouse three times.

This sent Scoop into panic mode.

On the phone to mum.

We must forgive Scoop’s mum, because she is Canadian, but she told scoop mice don’t like mothballs. I actually think it’s moths that don’t like mothballs, but as I said, she is Canadian.

Mum also suggested ammonia was a good anti-mouse

LIFE • 19

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

agent, yes, Canadian.

Scoop at this point had spent a fortune at the supermarket what with the traps and the repellents.

Not enough, she also found some rocks in the yard to block the hole up with.

As I said, there is a photo of all of this, so I know it’s a fact, but I really started to question the sanity of our young journo.

Of course, none of this worked.

One of the flatmates’ mates came to aid the damsel in distress and started pulling the wall apart.

There he discovered an

unfinished wall cavity and a deep hole heading off to mouseland.

The hero leapt into action with filler foam, and the hole was plugged.

Trouble was he wasn’t quite sure how the foam worked and now the carpet is stained.

Now I think this is a lot of fuss about a tiny mouse, but if you’re scared you’re scared.

We don’t know yet if the problem is fixed.

I can’t help thinking there is an easy remedy to this.

Scoop, want to borrow a cat? twitter@stevekendall1

dear dotty...

Dear Dotty, I recently moved into a share-house living arrangement. My housemate added me on facebook. The problem is I have some rather odd pictures of me and my dog in Star Wars costumes (Jabba the Hut and Leia are our personal favourites).

I’m afraid if I accept my housemate’s friend request she will be perturbed by my unusual ‘hobby’.

What do I say when my housemate asks “Hey why haven’t you accepted me on facebook yet?”. I’ve kept her in ‘facebook-limbo’ for several weeks now... Something’s gotta crack.

May the force be with you...

Simon, Serpentine Dear Simon, May the force be with you too. (Just wondering about the share-house arrangements in Serpentine. Are you in a house or a high rise apartment? ) The Facebook issue is a very valid one and I can sympathise. I was recently put on facebook by a so called “friend”. It was a picture of me at a party where I happened to have my head thrown back in a moment of spontaneous joie de vivre, my mouth wide open and red wine dripping down my chin. The photo was most unflattering and I was very, very angry.

I decided my friend was jealous because she wasn’t having have as good a time as me. I rang her up on the electric telephone and told her if she didn’t take my pic-

Illustration: “Wildey”

ture down I would ring the Bikie Times and place an ad in there under her name in the Services Offered section.

In your case Simon I don’t know why you are worried about getting caught in dress-ups. And the Star Wars theme I totally get. I can just see your dog dressed up as Chewbacca, not much you have to add there and look, maybe you can drop Princess Leia for Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Sometimes in life you just have to compromise.

PS Do you have any friends in Bears Lagoon?

Dear Dotty, I was quietly eating my meal in a restaurant when a woman came in huffing and puffing and looked up at the menu on the chalk board. She then looked at what I was eating, came over, stuck her nose in my meal and asked what it was like. I thought this was most ill mannered.

Ropable, Rhonda Dear Rhonda, You are quite right this is very rude. It’s the sort of thing animals do, go sniffing around other people’s food. If it happens again, pick up a bone or a scrap of food and throw it at them, and say “catch, try some.” twitter@DearDotty editor@bendigoweekly.com.au

Tomato time in the kitchen

I

F you landed in Bendigo from outer space this time of year, you could be forgiven for thinking you had landed in the midst of a cult. A cult where secret information and closely guarded recipes are exchanged, the cult of the tomato.

As the ferocious heat of summer starts to subside and there starts to be just a whiff of autumnal scent in the air, the worship of the great tomato gets into full swing.

True believers go the whole hog filling the pantry with neat rows of tomatofilled fowlers jars. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian style pasata. The easier ones to master include sauce, relish, chutney, kasoundi, salsa all boiled, stirred and then stored away for the year ahead.

There are whispered conversations about where to get the best â&#x20AC;&#x153;case of tomatoesâ&#x20AC;?. In years gone by conversations were held

at the bar of the pub, these days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through social media. Local Facebook sites have erupted with the news that our favourite Carpenter Street tomato seller is crook, no tomatoes being sold from the back of his truck this year.

The outpouring of well wishes for him showed how passionate people are about their tomato supplier.

In our extended family there is a lot of tradition and ceremony around the tomatoes.

Memories of childhood summers seems to be flecked with my grandmother Nonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomato time litany of â&#x20AC;&#x153;who still has Ezy sauce, have we got enough clips, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run out of rings, had anyone seen who has them in stock?â&#x20AC;? It also gets quite competitive.

Who has the best sauce.

Should it be thick (my version) or runny (my dad Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference)?

friend living the earth mother/hipster dream in North Coburg has really put the pressure on adorning her preserves this year with some very funky labels she whipped up.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still pondering, do I meet that challenge head on, or do I commission her to make some for me?

With it being a long hot summer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restorative to spend the weekend peeling and chopping and putting things through the Mouli.

In days gone by youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drop jars around to others to show off your skills, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just Instagrammed for all to see.

ARCOURT Valley Vineyards has continued their stellar form, winning a swag of 82 medals and six trophies last year alone.

However, results are in for Winestate Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine of The Year Awards and the team at Harcourt Valley Vineyards couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier.

Their 2012 Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiraz placed in the top five Shiraz in Australia for 2013.

More than 10,000 wines were tasted during the course of the year by Winestate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very pleasing result.â&#x20AC;? winemaker Quinn Livingstone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all the hard work you put in to growing the grapes then crafting the wine, it is great to see that it has all paid off.

People in the Bendigo wine region really do have some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best wine being made right in their own backyards; however I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a lot of people realise thisâ&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity there is not a lot of it left, only about 45 cases.

very high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think after this result it will be gone within another week or two,â&#x20AC;? marketing director Kye Livingstone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hoping that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell out before we bottle the next vintage in March.â&#x20AC;?

This year marks the 10 year anniversary of the loss of Kye and Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he would be very proud of what we have achieved over the past 10 years,â&#x20AC;?

Kye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would probably think we are crazy for the amount we have invested in new machinery and equipment, but the results and wine quality are worth it,â&#x20AC;?

Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would be pleased we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a price rise either, he wanted the wines to always be affordable to everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always believed in drinking good red wine.â&#x20AC;?

Culinary questions with Jody and Brent Loam of the Willow Room, Heathcote Q. What are Persimmons and what can they be used for?

A. Persimmons originally came from parts of Asia, typically Japan. Now they are more commonly grown. They are a round bright coloured fruit that comes in two kinds. One is an oval, egg-like shape that is red in colour, and can only be eaten when very ripe or it will taste bitter. The other is a round, flatter more tomatoshaped fruit which is orange in colour. It can be eaten when the fruit is still firm and crunchy. They are very versatile in the kitchen and can be used in Asian salads, cakes and biscuits. They also make a great sorbet or pickle to go with cured meats.

Q. What is Saltimbocca?

A. Saltimbocca is an Italian dish that translates into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jump in the mouthâ&#x20AC;?. It consist of thin slices of veal that are lined with sage leaves and then topped

with prosciutto or cured ham.

There are a few different ways to cook them but often they are dusted and pan fried in butter and deglazed with white wine or marsala to make a sauce. You can also try this method with chicken or pork.

Q. What are some different things to serve with cheese?

A. Cheese is often served with the usual bread, biscuits, quince paste or fruit. This is good, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet easy to make a few other nice condiments to match and complement the type of cheese you are eating. A smelly soft cheese or wash rind would go great with some sweet and sour pickled onions.

A hard cheese or cheddar you could serve with a quick and easy cherry tomato jam. Serve blue cheese with just some roasted walnuts and ripe pear and a fresh tangy goats cheese would be great with some honey roasted figs.

Boy, bear, Bendigo BOY and Bear will embark on a 30-day regional Australia tour after playing sold out shows in the UK and a Europe and US tour.

Bassist David Symes said it was an exciting time for the band, especially off the back of a two month Oz tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited to jump overseas and take our music to so many people,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Harlequin Dream hit the ARIA charts and has sold more than 35,000 copies since its release in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sound has developed and matured as the band has developed.

BOY AND BEAR

An Avent to attend THE elegantly named Ma Petite has an equally beautiful real name.

Indiana Avent was born in Melbourne but raised in Castlemaine, so every return is like a homecoming. Avent said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate it much as a child but sees it now for what it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An artistic town with a growing number of young families, and people moving in,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Avent plays violins for other bands and Ma Petite is more of a solo performance for her, work which has taken her all over Europe and Australia, and notably to Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recorded my debut album in Vancouver during an 18-month stay,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will not be released until the end of April this year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So all in all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two and a half years since I finished it. I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to rush it with the move.â&#x20AC;?

The collaboration of four of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerging singer-songwriters Georgia Fields, Al Parkinson, Cookie Baker and Ma Petite join forces at The Bridge Hotel in Castlemaine, on Sunday, February 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been talking about doing it for

a secured a legion of fans with their indie-pop music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to play the new album and give old songs some fresh blood. Live shows always have a good energy,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Living a â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazy dreamâ&#x20AC;?, the Sydney lads are riding the wave of success but still call Australia home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our roots are so important to us, we never want to stop, as long as we have an audience, we will keep playing,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Symes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be really special to drive around and play back home.â&#x20AC;?

Avent said the name Ma Petite came to her and works a treat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an endearing name which means my little, the sort of thing a grandmother would call you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People call me little Indy and I play a ukelele, so â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; just works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell stories, with a folk influence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a popular art form,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ma Petiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album The Road That Led Me to Fall is due at the end of April, with the Castlemaine show on February 23. Entry is $10, and doors open at 8.30pm. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Kendall

This Sunday brings a more intimate vibe as the Gold Dust Lounge, the renovated cellar of the Hotel Shamrock, hosts a top class line-up with some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest players, as well as some of the most exciting up-and-comers on the Melbourne and Victorian blues and roots scene.

Geoff Achison will headline this seven-hour show which also features Alister Turrill and Grim Fawkner, who are already gaining deserved noteriety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local acts set to make a splash such as Cass and the very talented, jazz/soul songstress Erica Hawkey and the traditionally blues-schooled and inspiring Jarrod Shaw will be there too,â&#x20AC;? festival director Colin Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show kicks off at noon on Sunday and will finish at 7pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The door charge is $10 and all proceeds assist in funding Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival.

ULIANA Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition as a barrister and solicitor is to build the best boutique law firm in regional Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My firm is not about how many clients I can represent or how big I can build the practice, but rather how I can best represent each client,â&#x20AC;?

Juliana said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a client chooses my firm to represent them in either family or criminal law, I seek to provide the very best service to that individual.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Core to my business principles is integrity and respect.â&#x20AC;?

Julianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former occupation in the health and business sectors have given her the valuable experience required to support clients when they are faced with the impact of family or criminal law matters.

Juliana recognises that the social, emotional and financial impact of family or criminal law matters can last a lifetime.

Thankfully the majority of family law matters can be settled by negotiation or mediation.

This process requires expertise, respect and sensitivity.

Juliana represents her clients throughout the region at the Federal Circuit Court of Australia in Melbourne

Turning dreams into reality

M

ARK Skinner left Ballarat to start Bendigo Skin Ski & Surf 21 years ago, believing Central Victorians would embrace his passion for an active lifestyle including water-skiing, diving and snowboarding.

His belief was correct and today Bendigo is home to Skin Ski & Surf headquarters in Hargreaves Street, their Bendigo Marketplace store and now the all new Skinnerz Boardroom and Rip Curl store also in Hargreaves Street.

Skin Ski & Surf or commonly known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Skinnerzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, stock everything from jocks

ENDIGO Mobility Services, just behind the Eaglehawk Pharmacy in Victoria Street, Eaglehawk has been home to Glen Reidy and Gary Ashmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapidly expanding business for the past 12 months.

Here they repair and service a full range of mobility appliances from scooters, electric lift chairs (recliners), electric beds and people lifters for both institutions and private clients as well as providing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tag and testâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service for electrical appliances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gary and I comply with all the required mandatory requirements in the aged and health care sectors, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an accredited contractor to a number of care facilities in the region,â&#x20AC;? Glen said.

Glen and Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous backgrounds have given the pair the expertise to keep both young and old out-and-about, indoors and out.

With Glenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background in mechanical engineering and Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience as a

personal carer in the public and private sectors they both realise the importance of a fast, professional and affordable service to those in need.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they carry an extensive range of spare parts for scooters and lifting aids, and often what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have on hand they can manufacture on site in their fully equipped workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mobility means everything to our clients,â&#x20AC;? Glen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we strive for a fast turnaround.â&#x20AC;?

Bendigo Mobility Services offer on-site servicing, where possible and a pickup and delivery service for workshop repairs when required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re virtually the equivalent of an RACV roadside repairer for scooters and mobility aids,â&#x20AC;? Gary said.

ENDIGO Animal Hospital saw a number of pets that were heat affected during the recent hot weather, and with more hot weather still possible they have provided some handy tips for keeping them cool.

Make sure that your pets have access to multiple fresh water bowls and plentiful shade where they can rest comfortably. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wading pools and doggy iceblocks (frozen dog food and water) can also make the hot weather more fun for your fur family. Avoid walking your pets in the heat of the day, wait until later in the evening or early morning.

Animals that are overweight, have heart disease or are unwell require particular care in warmer weather. If possible let them inside to rest during the hottest part of the day.

Now accredited distributors of Polylast LC Comfort and Safety Flooring

Polylast systems LLC is the producer of gamechanging surface solutions utilising recycled rubber and a patented binding process.

PolyFence also make PVC fencing and Garden Beds.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take your pets in the car unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely necessary and never leave them in the car alone.

Rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs have trouble regulating their own body temperature so you definitely need to provide them with ways to keep cool such as putting ice blocks in their cage and a wet towel over the top of the enclosure to create cool air.

Consider boarding your pets with family, friends or professional kennels or cattery if you are going away.

Symptoms which may indicate your animal is suffering from heat stress include: panting, racing heart, obvious distress, vomiting, diarrhoea and collapse.

heritage matters

Not Grim at all A

NOTHER of the mine managers to have helped to explain about the Bendigo Goldfield at the mines for the American Fleet visitors was Grimshaw Heyes; also spelt Hayes.

“Grim” as he was known to many, was born at McDougall Road, Golden Gully, which was one of the first gullies to be opened up on the Bendigo goldfield after gold had been discovered in 1851.

Grimshaw remained true and loyal to the area where he grew up and fortunately for him was able to keep that connection through much of his working life.

The home where his siblings were born was to remain in the family for several generations.

In fact a yonger brother of Grimshaw, William Valentine died there aged 41 in September 1910. Incidentally Grimshaw was responsible for his brother’s appointment as engine driver at the New Red White and Blue Consolidated Mine, which I mentioned last week as one of the mines that was visited by the Americans.

One could very easily say there was nepotism involved with the appointment of William Valentine Hayes, as Grimshaw was at the time the manager of Lansell’s Bendigo Battery and was soon to become the manager of the nearby North Red White and Blue, just off the southern end of Thistle Street.

As there were a number of engine drivers for the three shifts that the New Red White and Blue Consolidated operated, was it pos-

sible that William was operating the cages that took the visitors underground at the mine?

If he was the engine driver he was the recipient of three cheers given and a further three cheers followed for Frank Brimacombe the mine manager.

Grimshaw began working at the mines in Bendigo when he was 11 years of age, being employed at the GG Consolidated battery as a shoveller.

Grimshaw was responsible, along with other boys, for shovelling the quartz into the back of the battery boxes.

As he grew older and his talent for organisation became evident he was given more responsibility.

By the age of 26 he was in charge of the battery where he began working as well as having been the underground manager of the GG Consolidated.

It had become time for Grimshaw to stretch his wings, he applied for the mine management of the Royal Standard Mine at Gladstone Tasmania.

For some time he became the battery manager of the Mercury Mine at Mount Victoria, Tasmania.

Now aged 30, Grimshaw returned to Bendigo and was the successful applicant to become the engine driver for the battery of the Great Southern Mine on the Garden Gully Reef, just south of Gladstone Street, Quarry Hill.

From the Great Southern he next worked at the new Red White and Blue Consolidated, again as an engine driver.

Grimshaw’s big break came

Bedlam among the books F

A TRUE LOCAL: Grimshaw Hayes .

when the Lansell Bendigo Battery of 105 heads was completed in 1894.

J Northcott, Lansell’s general manager selected him to become the head engine driver, and not long afterwards he became the manager of this immense crushing works.

Additionally Grimshaw had the mine management of Lansell’s North Red White and Blue as well as the Sheepshead Mine located in Lily Street just north of Mackenzie Street. All the mines he dealt with in this period were on the Sheepshead Reef.

An keen cricketer, Grimshaw played for the Golden Gully Cricket Club, with which he remained an active member for the whole of his life.

Highly respected by his fellow mine managers, he became the vice president of the Bendigo and District Mine Managers’ Association.

He was one of the managers who took a group of visitors from the Great White Fleet underground at the North Red White and Blue.

This mine also had its quartz crushed at the LLB battery.

IRE was a constant menace in early Bendigo, with stables, stores and houses bursting into flame with alarming regularity. Last week we met librarian David Marshall, who lived in an old building behind the new library, and this week we see how this unfortunate individual became a victim of this deadly peril.

The Marshall family were having a pleasant Christmas Day in 1865, relaxing and playing with the baby, when suddenly all hell broke loose. Screams erupted, smoke billowed, and alarm was raised in the town.

Their son had set fire to the old building, and general mayhem ensued. Firemen, constables and the local doctor were all quickly on the scene, and though Marshall and the baby suffered burns, it looked like the new library was saved. Hurrah! – well, not quite.

Like a scene from the Keystone Kops, a “number of persons who had no business there” were overcome with excitement and broke into the undamaged library. They threw everything into the street, thus completing the disaster.

A new librarian was appointed soon after.

US duo joins the Braves

BENDIGO Bank Braves imports Zack Atkinson and Dustin Salisbery have big shoes to fill, both literally and figuratively, at their new club, but are up to the challenge.

The American duo, along with West Australian Michael Vigor, arrived in Bendigo on Monday after flying into Melbourne to start their Braves tenure.

Vigor and Atkinson will be pivotal in replacing departed star frontcourt players Tom Garlepp and Ivan McFarlin, while Salisbery will give the Braves a new look with a versatile, athletic wing player.

Salisbery is ready to do whatever

Ben Harvey instructs, with the Pennsylvania product saying he expects his versatility to be put to full use.

“I’m really looking forward to getting the season started, getting to work and getting to know the team and coach and the whole city,” he said.

“I’m ready to do whatever coach tells me, I’ve spoken to him already about it.

“I feel I can play the wing spots as well as point guard and even power forward if needed, just depending on what kind of match-up it creates.”

With Kevin Probert and Josh Wilcher at the guard spots, as well as the experienced combination of

Chris Hogan and Taylor Bell playing the forward positions, Atkinson believes the team is well placed to enjoy success in the 2014 season.

“That was a big reason for coming here, for the opportunity to en-

Harrower in the ‘here and now’ From Page 40 Bendigo has been able to combat that with its uncompromising, physical defensive scheme that allows the least points per game in the league.

“What we strive for is the work we do at the defensive end to try and stop the those type of players who are extremely talented and shoot the ball so well,” Harrower said.

“It’s such a huge thing for us to be able to get that done. Keeping that defence flowing just helps you win games.

“If we can do that against the talented teams that are left in the competition it can keep us in games and it gives us a great opportunity to go back-to-back, which is so

Salisbery recently played with the Delaware 87ers of the NBA’s development league, and has also played in summer league pre-season games with the Los Angeles Clippers

and his home state Philadelphia 76ers.

perience to younger players.

“I haven’t been in that position much before, but I do have a fair bit of experience that can help some of the younger guys which is a good thing,” Salisbery said.

“Hopefully I can contribute to this team. They have been successful for a long period, making the finals most years, and I’m certainly hoping we can keep that going.”

The Bendigo Braves and Lady Braves tip off their seasons on Saturday, March 22 in a double-header against Brisbane at the Bendigo Stadium.

Club memberships are also available, with membership forms at www.bendigobraves.com.au.

Heart of the action MORE than 3000 people are expected to file through the doors of the Bendigo Stadium this weekend, with the stadium combining Sunday’s WNBL semi-final with the Basketball Victoria Country under-16 and under-18 championships.

Some of the country’s most talented juniors will play in the tournament, which Bendigo is hosting for the second consecutive year.

“It will be the first of four Basketball Victoria major junior events held in Bendigo for the calendar year,” Bendigo Stadium manager of sport Craig Green said.

“In tendering for the events, Bendigo Stadium won the right to hold eight of the ten Basketball Victoria Country junior championships for a two year period, with these events now in their second year of the tender.

hard to do.”

Tickets are still available to the match, which will be broadcast live on ABC TV and local radio station 101.5 Fresh FM from 1pm.

The Bendigo Stadium will open its box office for ticket sales until 5pm on Friday, and will be open from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and from 9am on Sunday.

“No bad teams make it this far into the season, so I’m firmly a believer that sometimes home court advantage can be the difference in games,” Harrower said.

“We had great support last year and have had this season, so hopefully we can make it a really difficult environment to have to come and play in, and lock up that home grand final.”

“The support from the Greater Bendigo council has been imperative in getting these events and holding them in our city.”

The two-day event will bring 60 teams and more than 2000 players coaches and officials into Bendigo, according to BVC events and community programs officer Sammy Cartwight.

“Teams will come from the major provincial areas of Ballarat, Shepparton, Geelong, Mildura, Southern Peninsula, Wodonga and Traralgon,” Cartwight said.

“The championships will give athletes a chance to showcase their skills.”

Games will be held at the Bendigo Stadium, along with Flora Hill and Maiden Gully stadiums, from 9am on Saturday, with division one and two grand finals on Sunday afternoon.

Mandurang bashes for the cash RAIN may have washed out the majority of play on day one of round 11 in the Emu Valley Cricket Association, but it did not stop a thrilling day of Bash For Cash play on Sunday as Mandurang took the title.

United, who had earlier defeated Axe Creek and Marong to make its way into the grand final, won the toss and sent the Rangas in to bat.

Led by skipper Warrick Behrens (46) and Geoff Thomson (34), Mandurang made 5/130 from its 10 overs.

The innings then came down to the final ball, with United requiring two for victory the batsmen could only cross for a single, meaning the game went to a super over to decide the winner.

With each team having two wickets in hand, Mandurang went into bat first and made only six from its over, leaving United well in sight of a second consecutive title.

However Behrens came through with the ball for the Rangas, affecting a run out of Alex Col-

lins and then skittling Josh Filo with the next ball to dismiss the Tigers for only one run, and give Mandurang the mantle of 2013/14 Bash for Cash champions.

Mandurang will face Maiden Gully in a one-day match this weekend, after day one of their division one clash at Pearce Reserve was washed out.

Axe Creek and Spring Gully will also play a one-day match this Saturday, due to the rain affected conditions.

Three matches did get underway last week, with Sedgwick turning in its best performance of the season amassing 252 against Emu Creek.

Opener Damien Coppock was again outstanding, notching his third consecutive half century with 81, while four other Rams batsmen also got starts, led by Dustin Elliott (44).

Anthony Collins, Scott Cadzow and David Coghlan all took two wickets for the Emus, who will resume at 0/7 this weekend.

A late start to United’s clash with West Bendigo did not faze the

Tigers, who blasted 5/246 from 48 overs at Ewing Park.

The Andrew duo of Collins (56) and Gaul (49) did most of the damage for United, with Forbes Klemm also adding a handy 38 not out.

Along with Trent Bysouth affecting a run out, the other four wickets were shared among the Redbacks’ bowling attack, with United to resume its innings on Saturday.

It was a bowlers paradise at Marong Links Oval, with 13 wickets falling in only 58 overs of play as Golden Gully skittled Marong for only 82 runs.

Andrew Brown (26) and Jeremy Ross (11) were the only batsmen to reach double figures for the Panthers, as Shaun O’Shea claimed three scalps, with Cameron Moore, Peter Moore and Travis Eckhardt each taking two wickets.

Golden Gully will resume this week at 3/23 with Nathan Hamblin and Nathan Shatwell at the crease, needing 61 runs to move into Marong’s spot inside the topfour.

New grants a sporting boost BENDIGO’S budding sports stars and teams are being encouraged to apply for the latest round of Local Champions sports grants.

The grants are available to individuals and clubs, with funding of $500 for indivuduals and $3000 for clubs up for grabs.

Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said young sport stars had until February 28 to get their applica-

tion in for this round of funding.

“The grants are a fantastic scheme to help young people aged 12 to 18 meet the significant cost associated with participation at an official national sporting competition,” she said.

“It is particularly hard for people from regional areas to compete in major championships. Not only is there the cost of travel to and from

competitions, but also accommodation, uniforms and equipment.

“Central Victoria has produced some world-class athletes over the years and hopefully these grants will assist the next generation of sporting champions.”

Here and now “Finals are a whole different ball game, every contest a one-game series in which anything can happen, and you have to come ready”

By JOEL PETERSON

FORGET the fact that the Bendigo Bank Spirit has won its past nine games against the Dandenong Rangers, and 12 of the past 14 clashes.

Forget the fact that Bendigo has won its past five games, while Dandenong has lost its past three.

To Bernie Harrower the past means nothing, it is all about the here and now.

“Finals are a whole different ball game, every contest a one game series in which anything can happen, and you have to come ready,” was the message from the Bendigo Spirit coach this week, ahead of Sunday’s WNBL semi-final against Dandenong at Bendigo Stadium.

The two sides have built a rivalry over the past two years, culminating in Bendigo’s thrilling semi-final win over the Rangers in Bendigo last season.

After belting Logan 97-

68 last Saturday to close out the regular season in what Harrower described as a “near perfect tune up game”, last season’s WNBL coach of the year says his side is playing the kind of basketball he expects from it.

“It was probably the perfect tune up to finals, in terms of everyone playing their role and making a contribution,” he said.

“The bench players knew it would be an opportunity to stand up and make themselves counted, and the likes of Maddie Garrick, Sara Blicavs, Tess Lavey, the whole bench did exactly that, and we’re playing good basketball at the right time.

“Sara is becoming more consistent every week and has grown immensely this year, and Maddie is playing with confidence and has been a real spark plug for us which is exactly what we want from her.”

Blicavs is an intrinsic

part of the rivalry between the two sides, having played for Dandenong last season, including in the Rangers’ semi-final and subsequent preliminary final losses.

Led by WNBL all-stars Jenna O’Hea – the league’s leading scorer – and Leilani Mitchell, the Rangers hold the keys to a fast-paced, high-octane offence that tries to run opponents into the ground week-in-weekout.

Harrower will keep his matchups close to his chest until game day, but has the luxury of being able to throw Blicavs, Kelsey Griffin and Kristi Harrower at O’Hea on defence, or a combination of all three at times throughout the game.

“I haven’t sorted the match-ups as yet, but Kristi has played well on her in the past, Kelsey went to her in last year’s final and Sara has played well against her this year,” he said.
