PONDS PROGRESS Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre expansion is progressing well, with stage one estimated to be complete by May 2014

BY ALI DEANE CONSTRUCTION work on the expansion of the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre on Pioneer Road – begun in May – is progressing well, with civil works completed and structural works commenced.

The expansion, estimated to cost $65 million, will add 21,000 square metres to the existing shopping centre and is

being undertaken as part of a joint venture between Australian Unity Investments (AUI) and Coles Group Property Developments. The completed centre will consist of 35,000 square metres of retail space as well as offices and services.

Major retailers including Coles and Kmart have already committed to take up space in the expanded shopping centre, joining current retailers Target, Priceline and Woolworths.

The new Coles will be the first superstore in the Geelong region, featuring Coles’ traditional grocery offer, alongside extra departments including a cookshop, homewares, home storage, gardening, Coles’ exclusive Mix fashion range and Coles’ fresh food offer including an instore bakery, fishmonger and butcher.

Peter Lambden, AUI’s head of property and asset management, said AUI is very pleased with how the construction work

is going and anticipates that stage one of construction, which would see Coles and Kmart open for trading, will be completed

by May 2014.

“It is estimated that further development of the shopping centre will create around 200 jobs through the construction work alone, and approximately 500 retail jobs will be created at the conclusion of the build, when the expanded shopping centre opens for business.

“We believe the expansion will be to the benefit of the Greater Geelong area, not only through meeting residents’ retail needs but through the valuable creation of jobs at a time when other businesses are

laying off staff,” Mr Lambden said.

Stage two includes a specialty store mall including more fashion retailers, which will add over 40 specialty stores to the existing 80.

The expansion will also bring a new medical centre, Priceline Pharmacy, Kmart Auto and additional banking services.

One of the many advantages of the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre is the free parking for customers.

There will be plenty of free three-hour and all-day parking with an additional 876 car spaces being created to total 1,955 at completion of the expansion.

Alcoa to dig deeper in Anglesea

BY JAMES TAYLOR ALCOA has revealed its plan to go deeper, not wider, at its brown coal mine and power station in Anglesea.

The site – which generates electricity for the aluminium smelter at Point Henry – has an approved mine plan for the next three years, and the company is sending residents information about its intentions ahead of submitting a revised plan to the state government for mining beyond 2016.

Alcoa has a 7,221 hectare lease at Anglesea until

2061, but has agreed to restrict mining to a specified area of 665 hectares.

Two options inside the specified area have been explored – increasing the footprint to the north west of the existing mine, or to go deeper within the existing mine’s footprint.

The mine plan for the north west would not need to be revisited until 2027, but this option will lead to clearing of Indigenous vegetation, the mine becoming visible to some Anglesea residents, and the deeper reserves in the existing mine becoming “sterilised” or unusable.

Alcoa has stated its preferred mine plan, which would expire in 2022, is to go deeper, which is technically more difficult.

However, it will not require the clearing of vegetation or be visible from homes in the town.

Both options will result in no increase in sulphur dioxide from the power station and an increase in mine groundwater extraction, which the company said would be balanced with the site’s total groundwater extraction.

Community groups such as Surf Coast Air

Action have called on Alcoa to switch the power station from coal to renewable energy, but the company stated a coal fired station was the most secure and cost-competitive power source available.

“Throughout the past 5-10 years, Alcoa has investigated a number of potential alternative and renewable energy sources, including natural gas, solar, wave and wind power.

“At this stage, none are available at the price and/or scale required for aluminium smelting.”

Moriac plan released for comment

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE plan to cater for land use and development in Moriac over the next 15-20 years has been placed on public exhibition.

Surf Coast Shire has prepared Amendment C80, which brings the Moriac Structure Plan into the shire’s planning scheme and earmarks zones for potential growth to the north west of Cape Otway Road and north east of Hendy Main Road.

The amendment proposes boundaries for the township and notes the desire for limited growth, setting a preferred minimum lot size of 0.4 hectares for subdivision.

It also identifies a future light industrial area that would cater for future non-retail operations such as wholesaling, workshops, storage facilities, showrooms and rural supply outlets, while protecting other areas as public open space and recreation areas.

A report presented to councillors in June revealed Moriac had less than four years’ supply

Plans are being drawn up to deepen the Anglesea coal mine. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

of residential land and could face a period of stagnation without some kind of growth.

The structure plan was developed in 2010 through community consultation, and the amendment was prepared after the finalisation of the G21 Regional Growth Plan on advice from the state government.

Shire mayor Libby Coker encouraged residents to make a submission on the amendment.

“This has been an extensive process, but the alignment with the G21 Regional Growth Plan means this future vision for Moriac fits in both with the community’s aspirations and broader regional planning objectives,” she said.

The amendment documents can be inspected at the Moriac Post Office, at the council’s Torquay office, or online at surfcoast.vic.gov.au or dpcd. vic.gov.au/planning/publicinspection.

Submissions need to be lodged before 5pm on August 28 – email info@surfcoast.vic.gov.au or post to the Coordinator of Strategic Planning, Surf Coast Shire, PO Box 350 Torquay, 3228.

AIREYS Inlet student Catherine Brooks will help shape the state government’s policies towards young people after being chosen to be a part of the Youth Advisory Committee.

The 17-year-old year 12 student is one of the 19 members of Involve, which held its induction meeting in Melbourne last month.

At the meeting, Involve members from across the state met each other for the first time and established a 15-month work plan identifying issues they want to work on and how they will consult with other young Victorians.

Catherine said she was looking forward to working with the committee and advocating youth issues.

“It’s a really diverse group, they’re people with a lot of different ideas and passions.”

Polwarth MP Terry Mulder congratulated Catherine on her appointment, and said the LorneAireys Inlet P-12 College student was passionate about education discrimination and connectedness between young people.

“She was selected to be a member of the Country Education project as a rural youth ambassador and has also become involved in community projects targeting environmental conservation.”

He said the committee – which includes representation from the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria, the Centre for Multicultural Youth and the Koorie Youth Council – would play a key role in helping shape a range of youth policies and raising issues of concern with the state government.

Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith said members of Involve would attend 12 meetings, take part in

Shire’s economic diversity celebrated

BY JAMES TAYLOR RESEARCH has found the Surf Coast Shire is not a one-trick pony when it comes to the variety of businesses driving its economy.

The shire was listed among the nation’s top five most economically diverse local government areas (LGAs), according to a Regional Australia Institute (RAI) paper.

Released late last month, the paper found almost half of Australia’s 560 LGAs were rated as “highly diverse” – or supported by a broad range of industries, including agriculture, tourism, mining, manufacturing and retail.

The RAI examined how each LGA performed on 10 different economic measures, and ranked them accordingly.

The Surf Coast Shire ranks in the top 100 in two categories – 55th in human capital (the capabilities and skills of the workforce such as university qualifications and health) and 68th in economic fundamentals (building approvals and other indicators of economic activity).

The shire is also in the top 200 for business sophistication (the ability to adapt to changing conditions), labour market efficiency (market participation and unemployment), market size (population and business turnover), and innovation

(presence of research organisations).

RAI general manager of research and policy Jack Archer said a lack of diversity was often identified as the key threat facing Australia’s regions.

“This data suggests that the reliance of regional economies on specific industries may be overstated.

“As we saw from the national response to the closure of the Ford factory in Geelong, for example, the town was perceived as almost exclusively reliant on car manufacturing.

“Our data shows that Geelong’s economy is highly diverse, with construction, health care, education and training, retail, accommodation

and food services and public administration all significant to its economic makeup.”

Surf Coast mayor Libby Coker said the shire’s ranking reflected the wellbeing and skills of its residents.

“We are lucky on the Surf Coast to have a sophisticated community with a broad range of skills to offer and contribute.

“This provides us with lots of social and economic capital that is reflected in this report and it makes the Surf Coast a great place to set up for a variety of businesses, which will help increase job opportunities and the diversity of our economy.

Labor to boost after school care

CORANGAMITE Federal MP Darren Cheeseman said Labor’s boost to outside school hours care would make a big difference to students and parents in the region.

The $450 million Better Schools: Before and After program was one of the first policies announced

by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd after he called the election on August 4.

Mr Cheeseman, who visited the after school program at Torquay P-9 College last week, said the funding would allow Geelong and Surf Coast schools to extend opening hours of before and after school care, to provide more places and run activities such as sport, music lessons and homework clubs.

“The reality is life is getting busier and a lot of families need to have mums and dads in the workforce.

“Having a properly funded program, including before and after school and holidays, makes a lot of sense in helping people get back into work.”

welcomed the extra funding.

She said there were about 130 pupils in the after school program, which was likely to expand as Torquay College was predicted to grow to 900 pupils next year and to 1,200 by 2016.

Mr Cheeseman also praised the recently signed Better Schools deal between the Victorian and federal governments, which will provide an extra $12 billion in funding to state schools over the next six years.

He said the deal would deliver an extra $17.3 million per year to Surf Coast schools, which averages to about $1.6 million per school.

Local schools will receive between 19.4 per cent and 43.7 per cent more money by 2019, ranging from an extra $231,086 at Queenscliff Primary School to $4.3 million at Torquay P-9 College.

Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said a Coalition government would honour all Better Schools commitments for the next four years.

However, the Coalition has not guaranteed to match funding for the final two years.

Jan Juc nippers bring home gold

BY ALI DEANE JAN JUC Surf Life Saving Club’s (SLSC) junior swim team has finished the pool competition season on top after beating defending champions Williamstown at the Victorian Pool Life Saving Championships in Greensborough by one point.

With only two competitors at the club’s first swimming carnival last year, the team has grown to a strong 21, which brought home a swag of medals and won the overall state championships point score with 152 to Williamstown’s 151.

Ocean Grove SLSC placed seventh with a final score of 68.

Life Saving Victoria coordinator junior sport Luke Gavin said the championships were a fantastic end to a great season in pool life saving.

“We saw some very close racing and very tight finishes, making these championships one of the closest we have ever seen,” Mr Gavin said.

Jan Juc’s Molly Green, 10, said she had been nervous heading into the state championships, but

staying calm and having fun was the key to success.

“I’ve done heaps of competitions.

“I think they’re really fun, and great when you win, it makes you happy.”

Bella Robinson, 11, said she was surprised when she found out her team had won.

“I went in all the events, but I didn’t think we’d win, I thought it would be Williamstown or Ocean Grove. We got a lot of medals and our most medals were in the team events.”

Jan Juc SLSC juniors manager Lisa Happ said the team left the pool with no idea they’d be close to taking it out.

“When we found out through the week, everyone was so happy.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever won a state pool championship, and for some it was their first go at a pool competition.

“Three of our members Molly Green and Emily Suckling – under 10 and Jasmine Happ – under 9 came home with six medals out of a possible seven which is an amazing result.”

The Jan Juc junior swim team got together last week to celebrate their win at the state championships in Greensborough. Jan Juc won with an overall point score of 152 to Williamstown’s 151.

Restaurant faces court over underpayment

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE owners of Lorne restaurant Saporalita have been taken to court after an alleged breach of workplace laws led to a chef being underpaid more than $4,000.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched legal action against Darna Pty Ltd as well as its director and restaurant part-owner Yoav Oren.

There was a directions hearing for the case last week in Melbourne’s Federal Circuit Court.

It is alleged a chef employed at the Italian restaurant in Mountjoy Parade was underpaid $4,222 in minimum wages, penalty rates and other entitlements between September and November, 2012.

Inspectors from the independent statutory office discovered the alleged underpayment when they investigated a complaint lodged by the Israeli chef, who was in Australia on a bridging visa at the time.

A Fair Work inspector issued a compliance notice

to Mr Oren that required the underpayments be rectified within 14 days.

It is alleged that Mr Oren was involved in the company failing to comply with the notice and that no application for a review was made.

Under the Fair Work Act, employers must comply with compliance notices issued by Fair Work inspectors unless they have a reasonable excuse or make a court application to challenge the notice.

Mr Oren faces a maximum penalty of $5,100 and Darna faces a maximum penalty of $25,500.

Lorne win in Tutungi jumper ON Saturday Lorne Football Club took on the Alvie Swans for their final home game of the season at Stribling Reserve. The Dolphins proudly donned new football jumpers incorporating the three clubs former Dophin Casey Tutungi played for, to recognise the positive impact he had on so many footballer’s lives. The Dolphins stormed home in both divisions, the seniors – pictured here singing the song – took down the Swans 16. 15 (111) to 8.

7 (55) and 27. 9 (171) – 5. 1 (31) in the reserves.

The jumpers have also served as a fundraiser for

the seriously injured South Barwon player and cocoach, who was recently diagnosed as a quadriplegic following an on-field collision earlier this season.

The Lorne FNC designated the day to raise funds for the Casey Tutungi Future Fund, to help with his rehabilitation. Over 550 jumpers had been snapped up before the bounce, and if you couldn’t make it to the game on the weekend, you can get your jumper for $100 via email at caseysjumper@gmail.com.

Head to caseytutungi.com for other ways you can help the family.

Happy trails for region’s hikers and cyclists

BY JAMES TAYLOR HIKING trails and mountain bike hubs in south west Victoria will get a boost through a $135,000 marketing and promotional strategy tipped to generate hundreds of local jobs.

Recently, the state government announced it was supporting the project to develop a recognisable brand for the Barwon South West’s 13 trails and four mountain bike hubs, which stretch from the tip of Queenscliff Heads to the border of South Australia.

The project builds on the Barwon South West Regional Trails master plan, developed in 2009 to guide sustainable development and management of the trails with the aim of creating more jobs and boosting the local economy.

The state government is working with all nine Barwon South West local government agencies, Regional Development Australia, Geelong Otway Tourism and Shipwreck Coast Tourism as well as the Geelong-based Barwon River Parklands initiative.

Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Development Damien Drum said its $30,000 Putting

Locals First grant was part of the state government’s Regional Growth Fund.

“South west Victoria’s myriad hiking and cycling trails offer great challenges for outdoor enthusiasts – but in order for the state to benefit from this opportunity it is imperative that we do a better job in marketing these key regional assets to what is a relatively undiscovered and potentially lucrative tourism market.”

The regional development minister said strong promotion of the trails and other key projects had the potential to yield $37 million in economic benefits, as well as creating and sustaining up to 465 local jobs.

“It is therefore important to get the marketing and operations right, and this project will deliver a coordinated plan focusing on branding, marketing and e-marketing strategies to ensure that as many hikers and cyclists as possible visit this magnificent region.”

News in brief Open your eyes to those seeking asylum

Vietnam veterans march and service

AN UPCOMING talk in Torquay by Caz Coleman will explore the challenges and address some important issues surrounding Australia’s policies on asylum seekers and refugees. Coleman is a member of the Immigration Minister’s Council on Asylum Seekers and Detention and has recently returned from Nauru. Although bound by a confidentiality agreement, she will talk generally about the situation of asylum seekers and refugees offshore and in our communities.

She has a background in migration law, and a long history of advocacy for improving asylum health and welfare in Australia. Coleman will speak at the Uniting Church, 27 Anderson Street, Torquay August 16 at 4.30 pm. Attendees are invited to meet at 4pm for a cuppa. RSVP

by Thursday August 15 to 5264 3519 or email janbobhale@gmail.com.

ON VIETNAM Veteran’s Day, August 18, a group of ex Royal Australian Navy communications sailors (most Vietnam veterans) in conjunction with Anglesea RSL will conduct a short march from Noble Street to the RSL in Murray Street. A short commemorative service will be conducted afterward. The march will commence at 9.30am (assemble at 9.20am) in Noble Street at the side entrance to the Big4 Holiday Park, where the ex and serving naval communicators will be enjoying a weekend away. The march will be led by retired RAN Commander Rodney Withers. Local RSL members will also be marching. Interested members of the public are also invited to join in the march and attend the service at the RSL. Anybody interested in participating in the day should contact either RSL president John Anderson on 5289 7047 or Ian Drummond on 5263 2138.

Labor has invested in local infrastructure such as $4 million to build the North Torquay sports precinct, $500,000 for a new skate park, $1 million for Great Ocean Road Renewal program, Spring Creek Sports upgrade, upgrading Torquay senior citizens centre and the Spring Creek community house upgrade. These projects create significant local jobs and beautify our community.

The National Broadband Network will connect surf coast homes and businesses to high speed broadband. This will enable local businesses to trade world-wide and use the power of high speed internet to conduct work in locally and sell these skills internationally.

From Jan 1st our region will be the national headquarters of Australia’s newest Federal department ultimately overseeing DiasbilityCare for 460,000 people Australia-wide and creating 500 new jobs.

Infrastructure spending has been a significant driver of jobs. The Geelong ring road, duplication of the Princes Highway and the $3.25 billion regional rail

project has been creating 1,000’s of construction jobs and future jobs by linking our region.

Deakin University is one of our region’s biggest employers and we have been making investments in Australia’s only Carbon Fibre centre, new science labs, new engineering facilities, 311 new units on campus and uncapping University places.

Just recently we announced $3 million to establish the centre for emerging diseases in Geelong, a world class research hub to tackle the threat of infectious diseases such as SARS and bird flu.

The Federal Government, State and Ford will invest $24 million into a fund to support job creation projects in Geelong and the peninsula. We will match dollar for dollar capital projects that will add new ongoing jobs to our city and region.

I look forward to announce new significant projects for our region out of this fund.

WHK changed their name to Crowe Horwath to consolidate the accounting and financial advisory firm’s dual brands. The firm opened an office in Torquay in January this year but has history in Colac and Geelong dating back over 50 years.

Today each of these offices employs over 80 staff.

Managing principal of the Torquay office Damian McVilly said becoming Crowe Horwath has many advantages. “The change equips us with the right resources so we can better help our clients achieve the best outcomes for their businesses. As we operate in an increasingly global marketplace, the Crowe Horwath international network delivers opportunities for our clients, and also our people will benefit from secondments and support from overseas experts.�

Mr McVilly emphasised that nothing else is changing. “We have the same people and the same relationships with our clients and our communities.

We’re the largest employer of accountants and financial advisors in regional Australia and at a time when some businesses are exiting country areas

around Australia, we’re reversing the trend. We’re investing in regional areas and retaining locally trained professionals for the benefit of clients.�

Well known for its community support, the firm has already become involved locally with the Biz3228 network, are major sponsors of the RACV

Torquay Golf Week in October, are guest speakers at a Surf Coast Shire seminar this month on Creating a Good Business Culture and are co-hosting a business networking function with Surfing Victoria and Surf Coast Times on August 30. Mr McVilly said the firm is committed to the local community.

“We put a lot back into the community. “We believe it is important to support initiatives that keep our community strong and vital. From a client perspective we are still proudly local and firmly believe that the personal touch and commercial and pragmatic solutions are what matter.�

We are now approaching the half way mark of August and the “eerie silence” surrounding the Point Grey precinct has all Lorne locals anxiously on the edge of their seats concerned as to the delays and deliveries of the outcomes.

Never has one single project gathered so much passion from our community when there is such a clear vision that the majority of locals share.

Having been involved with a large group of local people on the community reference group for the project we are all waiting with anticipation to what will be revealed at our next community group meeting in September. The township of Lorne should be proud of the cross section of representation, the skill level and time commitment given by this committed group to help deliver what Lorne wants.

The frustrating part of the process is the majority of people involved, either run or have been involved in running their own commercial businesses and interest’s, and the overwhelming belief is that the processes being undertaking is not aligned to best practice principle’s of private enterprise. But then again we are mindful of the complexities of the bureaucracy involved with Government Agencies and with time-lines and projections not being met in line with the expectations of those in business hopefully the vision of the local majority will be delivered.

The murmurings’ of the town have a strong undercurrent of negativity to the Point Grey Precinct should the vision of the Lorne people not be listened too. In fact as one prominent local politician recently told me “They wouldn’t look to support funding for a project that the community are not behind”. It is so important that we get this right and everyone takes ownership and pride in this very special part of Lorne.

The lack of communication and consistency of process certainly has everyone nervous.

As we continue our pursuit to meet with the Government Agencies that manage our town we have a commitment from the Surfcoast Shire and the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee to join us in discussion for the betterment of Lorne but unfortunately not the courtesy of a response from DSE or as they are now called – The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI). We will continue our pursuit and look forward to confirming in due course the outcomes of our discussions.

IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN Committee for Lorne

Lorne – take a bow The lives of one of our proudest Lorne families has been turned upside down through the winter of 2013 but the support, generosity and coming together of our small and wider communities have astounded the Tutungi family, whilst at the same time have strengthened the resolve of the Lorne Community. At a time when life is at its toughest and things just don’t seem fair – the love and passion of a tight knit community just go “off the radar” I wanted to share with you part of the journey of the Casey Tutungi support network that has strengthened and continued to gain momentum since the horrific on field football injury that occurred to Casey on the 22nd of June this year. Within 24 hours of the incident family friend and Lorne community leader Peter Spring summoned a meeting to put together a support group for the family that included Cr Clive Goldsworthy, Mark Trickey and myself. At no stage did we anticipate quite the level of support and conviction of the public to Casey’s and the Tutungi’s family cause.

Pete Springs initial brief was quite simple in that we needed to put into place a structure that allowed the Tutungi family to be beside Casey’s bed without the need to worry about their business and community interest’s in Lorne. What appeared to be an enormous task has been made easier by the outpouring of help and support from many sectors of our local and wider communities. Within the first week of the incident the football clubs of South Barwon and Lorne joined together to support each other in a relationship that will create an everlasting bond.

The Lorne group quickly grew to include representatives from South Barwon and then soon to be followed by the Geelong Football Club, their senior playing group led by Corey Enright, and the AFL Barwon region. Within a month Lorne’s Cr Clive Goldsworthy had visioned the corporate structure for the Casey Tutungi Future Fund, the company was registered, a trust deed created, interim board put into place to manage the trust and the appropriate bank accounts in place.

At the same time the initiative from our councillor was to create a “Family Office”

that sat within the corporate structure and included representatives from the three football clubs, Tutungi family, an events organiser, marketing and publicity person, solicitor, accountant, print media, electronic media, social media and community people.

What was very evident was that although support came from far and wide the varying levels of support from every level of expertise and energy has been amazing.

It would be remiss to single out people in fear of not acknowledging others but over the journey of recovery for Casey we will look to share some of the magnificent stories of support as they are experienced. The show of warmth and love for Casey and his family has been demonstrated deep into our communities from which I know the family are extremely grateful.

Within the first week of Casey’s injury to see a group of locals, mostly footballers but also our councillor, armed with wood splitters and chainsaws topping up the fire-wood supply for heating purposes at the Tutungi owned Lorne Bush House Cottages this was just a sign of things to come. To see our primary school children on the weekend of “Casey’s round” walking the main street of Lorne selling $1 opportunities to guess the numbers of lollies in a jar with all proceeds going to the appeal, our local traders donating their days takings and sausage sizzles by our service groups - it is times like these when you realise how good it is to live in a community like Lorne.

The support has not stopped with our permanent population where non-resident property owner Robert Schieber a partner at Grant Thornton Australia has, with his network, created the legal structures and entities’ that sit behind the Casey Tutungi Future Fund. Rob is a fellow that probably doesn’t know many permanent Lorne people or local footballers but his contribution and commitment has been outstanding and culminated with an announcement at the Gala Fundraiser last week that Casey Tutungi Future Fund had received Tax Deductibility status from the Australian Tax Office.

IAN STEWART

COMMUNITY PROFILE Beginning in the early 1960’s, Merv and his family holidayed at Queens Park for 25 years before making Lorne their permanent home in 1986. Merv remembers Queens Park as being ‘pristine’, and a delight to be there.

With Joan, a daughter and two sons, they moved here from West Footscray, where Merv had been firstly a type setter in the printing industry, and later the sports ‘guru’ at the Footscray Sports Store. In Lorne, Merv became an employee of the Lorne Foreshore Committee, a position he loved, staying until retirement in 1999. Joan continued her teaching career, as an emergency at Lorne and Winchelsea.

As a keen sportsman and tennis player, Merv coached tennis at the Lorne Country Club for 12 years, and played bowls with a vigour, being in the Div.5 premiership team in 2009. Merv has a great fondness for helping out, and has been the non official maintenance man/trouble shooter at the Lions Village for many years, a task he still enjoys.

His great interest in the history of Lorne and the Great Ocean Road has seen him capably as President of the Lorne Historical Society, a position he thoroughly enjoys. He is pleased to see how the community is becoming more interested and involved in the work of the historical group. He looks forward to the day when a larger and more suitable premises can be available to display the comprehensive collection of photographs and memorabilia in hand, and to proudly show more of his favourite part of the world.

G21 wants firm funding pledge for Great Ocean Road THE G21 Geelong Regional Alliance has declared the time for talk is over regarding financial support of the Great Ocean Road.

G21 has been lobbying both sides of federal politics for months to secure $25 million in funding over five years for urgent maintenance of the tourist road.

After the federal election was announced, G21 chairman Ed Coppe stepped up the rhetoric last week.

“It’s time our federal politicians and candidates make firm financial commitments to the road’s refurbishment,” he said.

“Generalised support and suggestions that the road should be heritage listed are all well and good, but what the road needs is funding – not more words.

“The time for words is over. This is too big an issue to trifle with. The Great Ocean Road needs a firm financial commitment.”

He said the $25 million in federal funding would be used for works identified in the Great Ocean Road

Destination Management Plan, such as reconstructed road foundations and pavement resurfacing, culvert replacement, improved drainage, pinning of high-risk rock slip zones and new guard rails.

Neither incumbent Corangamite Federal MP Darren Cheeseman nor Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson would make a firm financial commitment to the road when contacted by the Surf Coast Times last week. Mr Cheeseman said the road’s rugged beauty should be preserved, and it should not be widened or have more passing lanes installed “as Sarah Henderson and Tony Abbott want to do”.

“Instead of spending $50 million on major engineering works to widen the road and pin rock faces, we should be preserving the road.”

Ms Henderson said G21 emphasised that heritage listing was secondary to the need for road funding.

“While I am working very hard lobbying for the Coalition to make a funding commitment, Darren Cheeseman has announced he will be delivering zero dollars to Australia’s largest war memorial.”

Buddy blows up over Twitter CORANGAMITE hopeful Buddy Rojek has been having some trouble getting his message across online in the early days of the federal election campaign.

On Tuesday night of last week, the candidate for the Palmer United Party was briefly suspended from Twitter for what Mr Rojek claimed was the seventh time. The social networking service stated the account – @Buddy4Coranga – was suspended because it had “demonstrated a pattern of aggressive following behavior”. In a lengthy email to Twitter, Mr Rojek said this was not the case and threatened the company with legal action if his account was not restored within 12 hours.

“I have written maybe three tweets since being reinstated, and I only befriended 5-10 Darren Cheeseman (Labor Party) followers so I know it was one of them who made the complaint.

“If I am suspended once more, the lawyers will be given the go ahead to commence proceedings, costing

“I suggest you give this (email) to your manager and your manager’s manager and pass onto the board of Twitter, as I will destroy Twitter’s brand and value if I am suspended once more.

Roadshow rolls out region’s best event venues

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE best meeting venues and suppliers in the Geelong region were all under the one roof at an event in central Melbourne last week.

The Great Ocean Roadshow, organised by Business Events Geelong, was held at the Showtime Events Centre in South Wharf and attracted more than 120 event planners and conference organisers from companies from across Melbourne.

Geelong singer and The Voice contestant Imogen Brough also performed at the event.

Business Events Geelong convention bureau

manager Terry Hickey said he was thrilled with the success of what has become an annual event.

“We had about 30 regional operators showcasing their world class facilities to a bevy of high profile event organisers re-confirming just why Geelong, the Bellarine and Great Ocean Road continues to be a popular destination for conferences and events.

“Our region is renowned for being friendly and personable, and at the end of the day, it is the people who make business events successful.

“The Great Ocean Roadshow is a concept that is designed to connect the people who run our professional products and services, with conference

organisers planning future meetings.”

Many guests arrived at the event via water taxi, where they were escorted down a red carpet entrance lined by a Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati supplied by Big Stick Adventures.

The room featured an array of major hotels, resorts and venues, team builders and incentive providers complemented by a selection of local wines and beers.

Two major regional experience prizes were drawn on the night, which formed part of a $15,000 pool of giveaways donated by the business events industry.

Drysdale couple goes down native garden path

BY HAMISH BROOKS

One of the stands of native trees in the Red Gums garden in Drysdale.

AN EXCITING natural style garden on the Bellarine peninsula is opening as part of Open Gardens Australia’s winter program this weekend.

According to a spokesperson from the program, Red Gums, at 30 Drakes Road, Drysdale is a special Australian plant garden.

“Spread over more than six acres, this beautiful landscape has been created with great vision by landscape designer Sam Cox. “An acolyte of well known and respected landscape designer, the late Gordon Ford, Sam Cox has designed the landscape in the natural or bush style, cleverly integrating a remnant stand of river red gums and a large mature Moreton Bay Fig. “The garden has been intentionally designed to be without any defined boundaries. Rather, a series of linked areas flow out from more intimate spaces surrounding the house, to broad grassed areas, wellframed vistas and points of interest, with a skilful

balance between mass and void. Of particular note are the large naturalistic water features as well as the beautiful rock work and drifts of grasses.”

Since 1998, when the garden was started by the property’s owners Ron and Winsome Vernieux, 6,000 trees, shrubs and grasses have been planted.

Mrs Vernieux said birdlife has increased dramatically since the first plants went in, which one of the reasons they decided to go down the native garden path. Over 60 species of native birds have been identified.

Mrs Vernieux said this is the fifth year she and her husband have opened the garden to the public and in addition to being beautiful to walk around, it has proved to be a good educational tool for visitors of all ages and gardening experience.

Red Gums will be open between 10am and 4.30pm on August 17 and 18. Entry costs $7. Children under 18 are admitted free. Open Gardens Australia is a not-for-profit organisation promoting the knowledge and pleasure of gardens and gardening.

Nest no place for spring litter WITH spring in the air comes new life in all shapes and sizes, and our coastal reserves are no different.

Many species of mammals and birds are gearing up for the pending arrival of their young.

Barwon Coast’s Maddie Glynn said it’s the time of year when Indigenous birds are collecting material to build their nests for the safe arrival of their young.

As the weather improves, it is also the time of year recreational activities in local coastal and marine environments increase.

“Unfortunately some of these recreational pursuits and nest building activities do not mix,” she said.

“Birds, like humans, want the best for their young so search the coastal reserves and beaches for twigs, leaves and other plant material that will form their nest. As humans discard their waste inappropriately we are seeing birds build their nests using internal material of doonas and cushions, small pieces of plastic bags and discarded fishing line – litter that has not been properly disposed of.

A bird’s nest made with fluff pulled from a doona or pillow.

“How clever are these birds to insulate their nests with the fabric from doonas and cushions, and strengthen the nest by weaving fishing line in amongst the plant material?

“Unfortunately, these manmade materials entangle the tiny beak, wings and legs of the juvenile birds as they grow and become more active causing life threatening situations.”

Ms Glynn said that many of us are not aware of the dangers these manmade items pose to our wildlife.

“But now we do, we can make informed decisions on how we might dispose of our rubbish to prevent injury and harm to the newly arrived wildlife within our coastal reserves.

“Bins are provided along our coastline to ensure we have a clean and safe environment for both humans and animals.

“When visiting our coastline, we encourage use of the bins for your waste.

“Together we can make a difference.”

Grants to help build up heritage conservation strategies

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire and the City of Greater Geelong will share in $22,000 of state funding to help them protect historically significant areas, structures or plans.

The funding will go towards council advisory services and a new heritage toolkit to assist councils to develop their municipal heritage strategies.

According to a 2008 report by the Heritage Chairs and Officials of Australia and New Zealand, the five

major barriers affecting local heritage conservation are lack of capacity, an ad hoc approach, a lack of support and understanding, a lack of leadership, and a lack of data.

Earlier this month, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos announced the grants, comprising $12,000 for the City of Greater Geelong and $10,000 for Surf Coast Shire.

“Looking after our local heritage is so important to existing and future generations of Victorians whether it is in the city, a suburb, a town or the countryside.

“Heritage advisers assist councils in developing strategies and guide the management of heritage assets, as well as promoting heritage conservation and providing free advice to owners of heritage places,” he said.

“The heritage advisers will also help residents make appropriate decisions on restoration and development plans for heritage buildings and other places.

“The benefits of these services are now evident in many towns with restored heritage buildings,

appropriate signage and upgraded streetscapes.”

He said the heritage strategy toolkit, which was recently released by Planning Minister Matthew Guy, would provide guidance on the development of each council’s municipal heritage strategy.

“Each strategy will help to highlight the importance of significant buildings, their role in our lives, how they enhance streetscapes and enrich our understanding of our past.”

See inside the Anglesea fire station

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE new Anglesea fire station will fling wide its doors to curious members of the public at an event on Sunday.

The Anglesea fire brigade has invited residents to the community open house and barbeque to celebrate the opening of the $1.8 million dollar complex on the Great Ocean Road.

Firefighters had their first look at the station when it was largely finished in mid-May, moved out of their temporary home soon after, and became fully operational at the site a few weeks later.

The building has been deliberately designed to use little or no energy for lighting, heating, cooling and equipment, as it will not be occupied 24 hours a day.

The complex is believed to be Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most ecologically responsible fire station, using renewable energy systems for power generation, hot water, space heating and cooling.

It also features a larger turnout room, new breathing apparatus and drying rooms, improved access for modern fire trucks and space for on-site community education workshops.

The Anglesea brigade and the town raised about $500,000 towards the redevelopment, with the state government committing $1.2 million for capital works and education programs.

Ocean Road Landscaping, Angair, Surf Coast Shire, Alcoa and volunteers have recently completed extensive landscaping works on the site.

The community open house and barbeque will be held on Sunday between 5-6.30pm.

Parking is available off McDougall Street in Walker Street, in Wray Street or in the main shopping precinct.

To RSVP, email perkins.colleen.m@edumail.vic. gov.au.

For more information on happenings at the station, search â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anglesea Fire Brigade CFAâ&#x20AC;? on Facebook.

A spokesperson for the church, Helen Brew, said she was looking forward to the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of fantastic items to be auctioned including two nights holiday at Apollo Bay and are offering free food for children and modestly priced food for adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The auction is being held at 45 Central Road Clifton Springs.

The church is a not-for-profit organisation and wants to raise money to help fund the community projects they are running or involved in including play groups and the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed.

Ms Brew said anyone who would like more information or would like to donate goods in good working order can phone Anne on 5258 3691.

Lorne students sleep rough for a cause

BY JAMES TAYLOR VICTORIAN Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) students at Lorne-Aireys P12 College have weathered a night of sleeping rough through rain, wind and thunder in an attempt to raise awareness and funds for homeless teenagers.

VCAL student Sammie Bennet said the group established rules to best simulate sleeping on the street in the August 5 event to provide them with the most realistic experience possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We slept on cardboard with a sleeping bag, pillow and no electronic devices. The idea was to raise funds and awareness throughout the school community to

the plight of homelessness teenagers.â&#x20AC;?

She said the group was supported by teachers and the local community, including Lorne Cumberland, Mantra and Cater and Co. Money raised will continue to help the homeless when students hand over the funds to the Sisters of Charity in Melbourne during the VCAL social justice camp.

Sammie said the class had researched the issue and discovered teenage homelessness affected more than 20,000 children in Australia each night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This figure has both shocked and inspired the class to take a stand and raise much-needed awareness.â&#x20AC;?

Search for love is coming to town

BY JAMES TAYLOR SINGLE men in regional Victoria have been invited to apply for a new reality TV series starting on Channel Nine next year.

Last week, the network announced it had commissioned When Love Comes To Town, which will feature 12 single city girls who have been unlucky in love and are heading to the furthest corners of Australia in order to find “the one”.

The Southern Star Entertainment production will see the 12 women meet the two most eligible bachelors in several towns around the country.

They will date the guys and learn about their lives, passions and the unique connection they have with their local community. The girls will meet the bachelors’ friends and families, and spend time in what could be their new home.

Ultimately, they must decide whether to stay in town and pursue a relationship, or try to find love in

A promo shot for When Love Comes to Town.

the next town. Male applicants for the series must be aged between 25-39 years of age and “genuinely want to find love”.

Producers have stressed the show is not a competition, and there is no prize money. Nine Network director of programming and production Andrew Backwell was positive about the show.

“This feel good reality romance series will play an important role in our 2014 schedule, and, hopefully, help single Aussies from every corner of the country find true and lasting love.”

Southern Star Entertainment chief executive officer Janeen Faithfull said the company was thrilled to be working with the team at Nine to bring the international show to Australian television viewers.

“When Love Comes To Town is a TV series about single Aussies who are genuinely looking to find a lifelong soul mate.”

Hear some hilarious Tales from the Bench

BY JAMES TAYLOR DAVID Galbally QC will reveal the lighter side of the law at an event presented by the Rotary Club of Torquay this month.

The Melbourne legal identity is the featured speaker at Tales from the Bench, to be held at Wyndham Resort.

Appointed as one of Her Majesty’s Counsel in 1986, Mr Galbally has worked on some of Australia’s most high-profile and complex corporate and criminal cases.

He has recently been in the news as the legal representative for former Essendon fitness coach Dean Robinson. Mr Galbally has frequently commented on issues such as corporate governance, human rights,

privacy and superannuation legislation.

He joined Madgwicks Lawyers as a partner in 2010, where his practice includes providing advice on corporate compliance, representing companies in Australian Securities and Investments Commission inquiries and public examinations by liquidators, and advising some of Australia’s largest sporting clubs and governing bodies.

Proceeds from the evening will fund two local apprentices to travel to Fiji on a Rotary overseas project to help build low cost housing for Indigenous people.

This will give these young tradespeople an opportunity to contribute their labour and skills to a needy overseas community.

The Rotary Club has encouraged the Torquay community to come along and hear a very interesting local identity speaker while supporting a very worthwhile project at the same time.

The club is also offering $500 (table of 12, two tickets free) and $250 (table of six, one ticket free) sponsorship packages to local businesses.

Tales from the Bench will be held at the Wyndham Resort, 100 The Esplanade, Torquay, on August 21 from 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Cost is $50 per head, which includes a two course meal. Drinks are at bar prices. Tickets available from Rotary Club of Torquay.

Evans shares his expertise

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Geelong Chamber of Commerce hosted an expert from Westpac at one of its events last month.

Bill Evans, managing director of economics at the major bank, was the guest speaker at the Westpac Economic Breakfast, held at Simonds Stadium.

Mr Evans, who travels frequently to advise Westpac’s customers on the Australian economy and financial markets, has spoken several times at events in the Geelong region and again brought his wealth of economic knowledge to the chamber’s breakfast.

He joined Westpac in 1991 in the position of chief economist and head of research.

During his time at Westpac, he also spent two years in New Zealand as head of the Institutional Bank with responsibility for Westpac’s corporate and financial markets businesses.

The July 31 breakfast was part of the Geelong Small Business Festival.

Two coming events in the festival will be held tomorrow – the Sales Leaders Breakfast Briefings at the Pier in Geelong from 7-9am, and the Geelong Chamber of Commerce’s August After 5 networking event at the National Australia Bank office in Brougham Street, Geelong from 5.30-7.30pm.

Harwood Andrews will host its annual Law Breakfast at the Four Points by Sheraton on September 5 from 7-9am.

The Geelong Chamber of Commerce website also contains an update from Westpac, written by Mr Evans, on the state of the Australian and global economy.

Students advance the cause of volunteers

BY JAMES TAYLOR

For the month of August, Queenscliff Neighbourhood House is host of COAST, an exhibition of oil paintings and photo canvases celebrating all aspects of our coast by local artists Leonie Anderson and Wes Bowler. Ms Anderson, who painted this beautiful canvas, loves depicting the many aspects of living by the seaside with all its colours and moods. Ms Anderson lives and paints in Queenscliff, having moved there from Anglesea 10 years ago. Mr Bowler, also from Queenscliff, captures the brilliance of the ocean through his lens, and is known for his imagery of the pilot boat as it tangles with heavy seas in the RIP. He also captures inspiring shots of local piers, lighthouses and surf.

STUDENTS from Surf Coast Secondary College and Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 College have been recognised for their volunteering efforts as part of the National Student Volunteer Week, which was marked last week.

The students were part of the state government’s Advance program, which provides opportunities for young people to work with local community partners to develop, plan and undertake volunteering projects.

The one-year program operates in 420 government secondary school campuses, which are sharing in $4.5 million in state government funding this year.

Projects done by participating schools include revegetating tracks in Anglesea and Lorne, a fiveweek pottery course at a community arts centre, working with the Country Fire Authority, teaching primary school students to surf, helping out at kindergartens and raising money for charities.

South Barwon MP Andrew Katos and Polwarth

MP Terry Mulder said the students had made a considerable contribution to their community.

“The support the students have provided to the local community has been invaluable and I congratulate the students and their school on their involvement in the Advance program,” Mr Katos said.

Minister for Youth Affairs Ryan Smith said Victorian students had long been active volunteers.

“The work tens of thousands of young people undertake in a voluntary capacity, whether as a coach of a local sporting team, fund raising, helping out at nursing homes, or as members of community organisations, makes an enormous contribution to their communities and deserves recognition.”

In 2012, more than 20,000 young Victorians participated in Advance, delivering community projects in areas such as community safety, conservation, art, sport and recreation.

For more information on how to get involved in Advance volunteering, head to youthcentral.vic. gov.au.

Undersea life caught on camera

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE previously unseen marine life below the 12 Apostles has been revealed through a biological survey.

The underwater Bioscan – run by Museum Victoria, Deakin University and Parks Victoria – surveyed 20 kilometres of coastline between the 12 Apostles Marine National Park and the Arches Marine Sanctuary.

The survey revealed rare sightings of hundreds of species including fish life, crayfish, Port Jackson sharks and coral gardens.

Scientists documented the diverse underwater world with thousands of images and hundreds of hours of video footage.

Museum Victoria head of science Dr Mark Norman said bioscans allowed scientists to study the large number of species present as well as investigate recent pest and climate change arrivals.

“The spectacular cliff lines and Southern Ocean swell make diving in this area difficult. You have to pick the gaps between the wild winter seas.

“To date, this has meant insights into this underwater world have been limited.

“Developments in technology are constantly changing the way we conduct our science research.

“The incredibly high quality underwater cameras we now use, for instance, help us record life that previously we haven’t been able to”.

In areas too deep to dive, Deakin University scientists dropped more than 100 baited video cameras to attract and film deeper-water species.

Deakin PhD student Richard Zavalas said the baited cameras drew in animals too timid to approach a diver, giving the team a rare opportunity to see them up close for the first time.

“We will combine the data collected with detailed sonar pictures of the sea floor to better understand the fish habitat relationships.”

For Dr Steffan Howe of Parks Victoria, the biological survey has relevance both locally and further afield.

“These stone cathedrals and their wonderful residents are one of the special habitat types protected in the state’s marine national park system,” he said.

“The parks provide critical reference areas protected from fishing and other extractive activities.”

Applications open for environmental grants

BY JAMES TAYLOR ENVIRONMENTAL groups in Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula have been encouraged to apply for the latest round of the Communities For Nature grants.

The state government program is offering $4 million in this year’s round of funding, which is aimed at helping environmental partnerships between government, business, schools, and

community groups.

It focuses on supporting a range of projects including habitat preservation, weed control, revegetation, waterway clean-ups, community engagement and pest animal control. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos urged local groups to seek funding through the four-year program.

“There are many groups and individuals volunteering their time and energy in our community to help preserve and improve our local environment

P 03 5241 2664 www.livingetc.com.au Cnr High St & Mt Pleasant Rd Belmont 3216

and I encourage them to lodge an application for funding.”

There are two categories – small project grants of up to $10,000 and large project grants of between $10,000 and $150,000.

Mr Katos said projects needed to address local environmental issues such as biodiversity and habitat preservation, threatened species recovery, sustainable management of Indigenous wildlife, revegetation, cleaning up waterways including Port

Phillip Bay, tree planting or control of weeds and pest animals.

“Being a member of a local environment, Landcare or ‘friends of’ group is a wonderful way to make new friends, enjoy the outdoors and make a real and positive difference to the environment and the Communities for Nature program is a great way to support these outcomes.”

Applications close on September 13.

Surf’s up for local teachers

BY ALI DEANE

GO RIDE A Wave has won the Geelong Business Excellence Award for Hospitality and Tourism for their innovation, customer care, smooth scheduling and proven knowledge of the market.

The announcement, at a gala dinner at the Chamber of Commerce in Geelong, came as a surprise to the Go Ride A Wave team, after the surf and adventure group made the final in 2012.

The award is open to all businesses in hospitality including hotels, restaurants, cafés, clubs, bars, tourism accommodation, events and services, bed and breakfasts, caravan and holiday parks, and services that attract visitors to the Geelong region.

According to the judges, the company’s “desire to innovate and encourage staff to do the same was very good and obviously paid dividends”.

“Employees are empowered to deal with issues on the spot which again helps to cement an understanding within the business that everyone’s part in the business has an effect on customer care.”

Director Wes Smith said everyone in the business was stoked about the award, and it was a nice recognition after Go Ride A Wave celebrated its 25th year last year.

“It is a fiercely competitive section.

“The award is a terrific achievement from all the staff and recognition of the quality of our service.

“Everyone at Go Ride A Wave is passionate about what we do and it’s great to get the accolades.”

Anybody wanting “the best job in the world” as a surf instructor should contact the national office in Anglesea on 5263 2111, or their Torquay shop on 5261 3616. Head to gorideawave.com.au for more information.

Boosting pasture growth by grazing

MANY farmers have been short of pasture, out of silage and hay and seeking extra fodder from farms says Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) pasture and conservation specialist Frank Mickan.

“Luckily mild winter conditions so far have allowed faster pasture growth than normal but anyone on fast rotations, 20–35 days, will have missed the opportunity to grow that last third green leaf which is worth well over 20 per cent extra pasture production,” he said.

“At this stage we need to encourage as much pasture growth as possible to get through the rest of winter by whatever means our circumstances allow, and to then springboard into spring.

“By tweaking the grazing management to increase pasture growth for the next rotation there are gains to be made, after that, we should be into spring. It is vital to extend the rotation to graze at or

near the three green leaf stage (ryegrass), it is also best to graze pasture at or before canopy closure in spring and leave residuals of four to six centimetre between the clumps.

“This is only one of the major grazing guidelines from the Feeding Pastures for Profit programs, following the guidelines will ensure that your ryegrass pastures can grow to their maximum potential and be of highest quality possible.”

DEPI farm services extension officer, Neil James, said preparing for spring growth now is important.

“With good soil moisture, now landholders can start thinking about managing their spring growth.

“While we have been struggling for feed this winter it is important not to allow pasture to get over grown and rank in spring summer period, this can result in loss of production this spring and summer and reduced clover next autumn.

On Wednesday July 31 at midday, my friend and I were sitting outside Zeally Bar and Restaurant having a cup of coffee when we saw a man come up from the beach.

He sat on a bench opposite us, then we saw a dog appear from the beach.

The dog stood for about five minutes looking over at the man, then suddenly the man jumped up, went over to the dog, put a lead on it, and bashed it about half a dozen times.

I ran over and told him not to be so cruel and with that he verbally abused me and made off back down onto the beach.

This man is extremely violent and should be caught and fined and the dog taken off him.

What’s the point of World Heritage listing?

Dear Editor, Why do we need to chase a World Heritage listing for the Great Ocean Road?

Surely it is a Victorian/Australian icon and we are mature and intelligent enough to protect this wonderful asset.

Why hand over its administration to the bureaucratic, faceless individuals at UNESCO whose interest may not mirror our own.

I must declare my interest.

My grandfather Sir Harry Lawson spoke at the official start of work in Lorne on September 19, 1919.

In order to do so he left Melbourne shortly after 6am travelling to Deans Marsh by train and then on by coach to Lorne where he transferred to a timber lorry and finally walked across to the dugout prepared for him at 4.30pm.

According to a news report, this journey gave him every opportunity of understanding what a boon this road would be to Melbourne and the Victorian people.

What advantage would it be to Victoria?

Five innocuous looking envelopes Dear Editor,

ANDREW KATOS MP

Member for South Barwon District

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any State Government concerns you may have.

Electorate Office: 152 High St Belmont 3216 Phone: 5244 2288 Fax: 5244 2327 Email:andrew.katos@parliament.vic.gov.au Authorised by: A Katos 152 High St Belmont

Today in the post our family received five innocuous looking envelopes purporting to be important postal voting information.

Very relevant considering we four children of the family are enrolled to vote in the electorate of our parents.

Not so relevant to our parents, but never mind.

I was slightly grumpy to discover this information was only a thinly veiled attempt by one party to make sure I and my family understood their party’s policies in the lead up to the election.

It would be an understatement to say I was thoroughly angry when a second set of five

envelopes arrived later in the day and we were all presented with the same scenario for the other campaigner.

What obliging citizens we are, accepting all these small pretenses and concealments created and delivered using our taxes. I wonder if we will receive so much paper from the Greens?

Once bitten Dear Editor, My son was bitten in a Bellarine Peninsula Basketball Association (BPBA) under 12 match by another under 12 boy.

He denied it but the evidence was there two seconds later. My son is undergoing treatment for infection and may also need a tetanus shot.

This is frustrating and I would not wish these uncertainties on any parent. The BPBA are taking their time dealing with the matter even though my son’s coach is part of the association.

It’s a matter of not wanting to “rock the boat”.

Parents need to be aware of the seriousness of acts like this and not just dismiss it as “it’s only an under 12 basketball match”, as the boy’s dad did – also the opposition team’s coach.

Other soccer goals in NPL bib Dear Editor, I read with great interest Surf Coast Football (Soccer) Club’s bid for a place in the new National Premier League (NPL).

It’s wonderful that a body with such amazing facilities is making this bold move.

My question relates to what will happen to the many community soccer players that currently play at Surf Coast FC. The NPL is for elite players and there will be only one team in each age group – where will all the other players go?

Will they have to travel to other local clubs or is there another club going to take the place of Surf Coast for the community soccer players?

I am curious if the current membership base is aware of any of this; and the fact that the club if accepted, will not be allowed to be called Surf Coast, it will need to be a new name. Food for thought.

Ocean Grove covenant concerns Dear Editor, Geelong City Council has recently written to titleholders in old Ocean Grove, informing them the covenant on their properties against manufacture or sale of alcohol has “no beneficiaries”, and therefore is invalid.

On that ground covenants in future will be removed by the council, applications for liquor then being treated as a planning matter.

That amounts to writing to covenant holders to say, “please do not come to any permit hearing”, so then there will be no beneficiaries to oppose removal, which is whimsical, and absurd.

You are also asked not to worry about the consequences.

The council ought, in such a case, have written to all – say 3,000 or more, a large number – to inform and reassure them of their rights, mentioning that if one of them objects, then removal of a covenant must be refused, under the Planning and Environment Act, since no likely detriment has to be shown.

The law in this case protects the resident and the citizen – but watch out for the city council!

Floetic Harmony for Youth Off The Streets Dear Editor, International Youth Day is held on August 12 every year and this year’s theme was youth migration. The UN used the day to launch a World Youth Report, which details the experiences and challenges faced by young migrants.

Youth are recognised as one of the most mobile social groups, representing about 30 per cent of international migrants. They face many challenges when trying to settle in to a new location, with many of them finding it difficult to connect with the community.

Community run programs that help these young migrants form friendships and feel connected to the community are essential to their establishing a new home.

In our experience, young migrants often feel isolated, and can be on the end of ignorant racism. Don’t let’s forget the problems that Indian students had in Melbourne four years ago.

After a string of violent bashings, Indian students protested saying that they did not feel welcome in Melbourne.

I believe that all migrants suffer through this isolation and hostility at some level. To curb the isolation they experience and to make them feel accepted into the community, Youth Off The Streets ran a program called Floetic Harmony.

The program was funded by the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

It was an opportunity for young migrants to share their creativity and experiences with others in the community. The program was successful at building respect between young migrants and young people of the area.

The Floetic Harmony program was small, with 20 students participating at a time, but showed that there is value in offering a creative outlet, where young people can share their culture.

Participants of the program built friendships and are better able to appreciate and share their cultural identities.

Young migrants often feel disconnected from the community and more community run programs are needed in order for them to develop friendships and a sense of connection and belonging.

Native fish heart bypass that helps breeding FISH numbers in the lower Barwon River are set to grow thanks to a specially engineered construction in the river’s lower reaches.

Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) has built a fishway at the lower tidal barrage to enable fish to bypass the weir and migrate upstream for breeding.

The barrage was built more than 100 years ago to prevent saltwater entering the river. However, the large weir has also prevented migratory fish from accessing the upper reaches of the river, until now.

The fish passageway is made of a series of concrete culverts forming a ladder in the riverbank.

Running water at the opening is designed to entice fish to enter and start their upstream journey.

Corangamite CMA senior river health officer Denis Lovric said surveys had already shown native fish such as mullet, tupong and galaxids using the fishway, while the hope was for other natives like estuary perch and black bream to spread upstream.

“Fish were observed moving upstream within an hour of opening the fishway so we’re really excited about this project,” Mr Lovric said.

“Upstream fish passage is an essential biological requirement for most native fish species and is particularly important at tidal barriers for juvenile fish to move upstream and away from predators,” he said.

Surveying will continue later this year to determine the effect of the new fish passage.

Fisheries Victoria senior fisheries management officer Peter Lawson said it was great to see completion of this project after significant planning.

“We look forward to future monitoring results.

The fishway will allow migration of key native fish species, providing further recreational fishing opportunities for the public,” Mr Lawson said.

The project, which was two years in the planning

and took two weeks to construct, was funded by the Victorian government, including funding from recreational fishing licence fees, with support from VR Fish, Fisheries Victoria and Parks Victoria.

Lucky they’re with AAMI

BY HAMISH BROOKS A NUMBER of local State Emergency Service (SES) units were the beneficiaries of new equipment last week, thanks to AAMI’s ongoing sponsorship of the organisation.

Throughout their 11-year partnership, AAMI has contributed over $3.1 million to SES for the purchase of operational equipment, which improves the capacity of 5,500 volunteers to serve their local communities.

AAMI executive manager for sponsorship John Bennetts said making sure Victoria SES is equipped to continue their life saving work is extremely important.

“The donation of equipment by AAMI helps Victoria SES to manage emergency situations efficiently, saving time and saving lives.

“As technology improves and innovation provides more advanced emergency equipment, AAMI will ensure Victoria SES has access to the

best tools for the life saving job they perform.”

As part of the annual equipment program AAMI provided Bellarine SES unit with two Sthil polesaws, one hi lift jack, one Holmatro protective cover and six P14 torches.

Dion Henderson from Bellarine SES unit thanked AAMI for its continued support.

“We are thrilled with AAMI’s contribution and eagerly look forward to the equipment program each year,” Mr Henderson said.

Lorne SES unit received one chainsaw, one packexe smash kit, two block kits, one drill set, three helmet head lamps and three P14 torches.

Torquay SES unit was provided with two remote lighting systems and one compressor.

AAMI provided Winchelsea SES unit with one Sthil polesaw, one E flare kit, one Holmatro chock kit, one Holmatro block kit, one Milwaukee 18v cordless drill and one spanner set.

Members of these three units also thanked AAMI for its continued support.

Lone Pine battle commemorated

BY HAMISH BROOKS DRYSDALE Primary School marked the 98th anniversary of the Battle of Lone Pine with a commemoration service last week.

The school has a special connection with the World War I Battle of Lone Pine through a tree in their grounds seeded from the pine from which the battle takes its name.

In addition to Drysdale primary staff and students, another 60 parents and ladies from Drysdale RSL Auxiliary and the public filled the Drysdale assembly hall for the commemoration ceremony.

A spokesperson for the Drysdale RSL military history into schools program, which was involved in the ceremony, said everything went smoothly and an enactment group added some colour to the occasion.

Drysdale Primary School vice principal Stephen Barry, who was the MC for the event, said it was a

very fitting commemoration service for recognising the battle of Lone Pine in Australia’s history.

“It reinforced to our students the significance of the battle and the significance of the pine we have in the grounds which is a direct descendant of the original tree.”

Janis McPherson, who facilitated the planting of the tree in the school in 2002, was in attendance at the service.

“Her father was instrumental in the plantings of the descendants of the lone pine tree in Victoria and she is a former parent of the school so it was good to have her there,” Mr Barry said.

“Four of our own student leaders read the poem The Seed of the Lone Pine Tree, which was very well received.”

On August 19, the school will host a Drysdale RSL military history into schools event for grades 5 and 6 students looking at the Vietnam War.

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.

On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

Join TAC Wipe off 5 campaign and wipe on a prize of $5,000 THE Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is sharing the Wipe off 5 message directly with regional Victorians as part of its new low level speeding campaign.

The Wipe off 5 slogan has been brought to life as giant, 3D letters and will be taken to towns and cities around Victoria over the next two weeks.

The regional visits will give locals the chance to sign their name on the giant letters to show their commitment to reducing low level speeding.

TAC chief executive officer Janet Dore urged regional Victorians to back the campaign which will help save lives.

“About one hundred people die on our roads every year in crashes where speed was a contributing factor and this is just not acceptable,” Ms Dore said.

“We’re asking all of you to take an active role in helping us drive down the road toll and one way you can do this is by sticking to the speed limit.”

The roadshow is just part of the TAC’s latest campaign, with a community competition also underway where Victorians can win $5,000 for their most creative ideas of how to Wipe off 5.

It’s the first time the TAC is asking Victorians

to take an active role in one of their campaigns, by showing how they will Wipe off 5 – sharing their ideas on social media.

With five $5,000 prizes on offer for the best ideas, the TAC wants Victorians to come up with the most creative way to articulate the Wipe off 5 message in their daily life and share it online at wipeoff5.com.au or on Twitter or Instagram with #wipeoff5.

Whether it’s football clubs wiping off the number five from one of their player’s backs’, gym instructors wiping off five minutes from their classes or school kids wiping off the number five from their maths display, Ms Dore said the brief required just one thing – creativity.

“We want every Victorian to come up with a way they can represent the Wipe off 5 message. Leaving the house five minutes earlier, to ensure you aren’t rushing on your way to work, could be one way to help you avoid the temptation to speed.”

Advertisements featuring famous AFL number fives, Chris Judd and Nick Maxwell will give Victorians some inspiration for their competition entries. At the end of Wipe off 5 month, one winner will be awarded in each of the following categories: best individual, best group, best sporting club, best workplace, and best school entry.

“We know many drivers and riders travel just a few kilometres over the limit, but if every Victorian stuck to the speed limit less people would die on our roads,” Ms Dore said.

“Travelling just five kilometres over the limit in a

60 km/h zone doubles your risk of crashing.

“Victoria’s road safety strategy highlights a concerted effort by all road safety partners to involve the community in the fight against road trauma.

“We believe that our long term vision to have nobody killed or seriously injured on our roads is achievable. But, we cannot achieve it without the full support of the community and that means every single Victorian taking ownership of the road safety issue,” Ms Dore said.

The campaign will culminate in a weekend of road

safety related activities at football matches across Victoria from August 22-25.

The television commercials featuring famous number fives – Judd and Maxwell – aim to increase the community’s awareness of the Wipe off 5 message. The ads hit the air on Monday August 5. On the same day the roadshow arrived in Geelong.

It will return again on August 24.

Entries for the competition, which closes on August 31, will be published online at wipeoff5.com.au.

$170,000 support for vital equipment at the Alfred THIS YEAR

LAST YEAR

A regional partnership with TAC and the Victorian Government Maintain vigilance about road safety. (Rural Vic Toll YTD) The above figures represent regional Victoria’s road toll.

THE first of Victoria’s new combination number plates, carrying the 1AA-1AA Stay Alert Stay Alive message were presented last week by Premier Denis Napthine to the winning bidder of Radio 3AW’s special auction event, which was held in June.

“As a result of the auction – a joint venture by the Victorian Coalition government, VicRoads and Radio 3AW - the Alfred’s emergency and trauma unit has received $170,000 to fund new and vital equipment to help treat road trauma victims,” Dr Napthine said.

The auction winner, David from the Yarra Valley, is a businessman and philanthropist who has actively supported health care.

“Through David’s generosity the Alfred Hospital

will be able to purchase several new state-of-the-art bronchoscopes,” Dr Napthine said.

Dr Napthine congratulated David on winning the number plates, the first new series in Victoria.

“The new number plate series will carry the Stay Alert, Stay Alive message which is part of a Coalition government strategy to remind and encourage Victorian motorists to drive safely.

“The Alfred’s emergency and trauma centre is Australia’s busiest, receiving around 1,200 major trauma patients and a further 3,000 trauma patients each year. This result would not have been possible without Neil Mitchell and his listeners. To everyone who bid for the number plate, we are extremely thankful and grateful for your generosity.”

The government recently announced $120 million in funding from the 2012-13 and 2013-14 state budgets to replace vital medical equipment in Victorian hospitals. Professor Mark Fitzgerald, director of trauma services at the Alfred emergency and trauma centre, thanked the government for directing the proceeds from the auction to new equipment for the centre.

“Each year, several thousand trauma patients are brought to the Alfred, with many of the most critically injured being the result of serious accidents on our roads,” Professor Fitzgerald said.

“The better we can equip our talented staff with the latest and best equipment, the more likely it is that we can make a real difference to recovery.”

Support the drive to Wipe off 5 and you could win $5,000.

Tell us how you’ll Wipe off 5 and you could win one of five prizes of $5000.

The best idea in each of five categories will win: Best individual, Best workplace, Best sporting club, Best group and Best school.

Melbourne emcee PEZ releases his new album Don’t Look Down this November, and QMF fans will get the first taste with his name just added to the lineup.

BY ALI DEANE IT HAS been 17 years, and each year its reputation exceeds itself as the festival to be, come November 22-24 – Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) 2013 is no exception.

Renowned for showcasing the best in Australian music, organisers have just dropped names in the second of the QMF lineup announcements, and Aussie music fans are in for a real treat.

The new acts join The Living End, John Butler Trio, The Grates, Spiderbait and Blue King Brown amongst many others.

Melbourne emcee PEZ will be one artist not to miss when he treats fans to tracks for the first time off his new album Don’t Look Down, set to be released November 1.

PEZ just released the fan collaborated “One Life” single featuring brother Tys (Tyson Chapman) off the forthcoming album.

Giving us a taste of what’s to come on Don’t Look Down, “One Life” is rapidly rising the charts as “The Game” did in December, the self produced single that brought PEZ back with his “Back In The Game” national tour earlier in April; a return to the stage after three years.

It wouldn’t be PEZ without some surprises, as he lets us know.

“There will be a few other collaborations on the album that I’m working on and a few I want to happen, but you’ll have to wait and see.”

Also just announced to join the already amazing lineup is San Cisco, Dallas Frasca, Baby et Lulu, The Ray Mann Three, Microwave Jenny, Lachy Doley, Twin Beasts (formerly The Toot Toot Toots), Tom Thum, Hussy Hicks, Jack Carty, Melody Pool, The Murlocs, Siskin River, Fraser A Gorman and Big Harvest, Genevieve Chadwick, Sweethearts, Imogen Brough, Murdena, The Kite Machine and The Tiny Giants.

And there are more announcements on the way.

From humble beginnings with weekend jamming in their home town of Fremantle, WA, San Cisco burst onto the music scene with their bright, catchy hooks, and were nominated for a 2011 Unearthed J Award and came in at seven on triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown of 2012 with “Awkward”.

They’ve graced the stages of Big Day Out, Laneway, Fuse Festival and Big Sound as well as airwaves around the world.

San Cisco members Jordi Davieson, Josh Biondillo, Nick Gardner and Scarlett Stevens will be fresh from their UK and European tour, when they hit QMF’s Lighthouse Stage on the Sunday afternoon. Single day and two day tickets have just gone on sale, plus, for the first time, VIP experience tickets.

Head to qmf.net.au for the full lineup, tickets and camping information for QMF 2013; taking over Queenscliff the last full weekend in November (22-24) across multiple venues.

WA rockers San Cisco will be gracing the stage at QMF this November.

G R A P E V I N E BROUGHT TO YOU BY

JON HELMER

Purity plus precision WITH so many wines arriving from our New Zealand neighbours it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and it’s easy to be blasé and say “not another New Zealand white wine”.

But every now and then, a label comes along and takes your breath away, igniting an interest and excitement that reminds you that New Zealand and the Marlborough region in particular is not just all about Sauvignon Blanc.

One such artisanal producer has recently raised its head above the pack, producing a fine range of mainly aromatic white wines that beg your attention, but the story goes much deeper than just the outstanding wines on show.

Owner Edel Everling is a fifth generation winemaker from the Rheingau region in Germany and her partner Warwick Foley is from Marlborough.

Both are winemakers who trained and studied in Rheingau before deciding Marlborough was the place to set up their own operation in 1991 with European traditional winemaking methods the modus operandi.

They even went as far as to dig out (a New Zealand first) a huge underground cellar – a massive undertaking that allows the wines to ferment and mature at optimum temperature levels.

In the vineyard the emphasis is on very low cropping levels to increase concentration of flavour and complexity with all vines close planted and the vines being all handpicked and unirrigated.

This is where the German tradition and approach kicks in. This attention to detail pays handsomely in the wines they produce, which includes a fantastic sparkling NV that shows a richness and a texture not unlike some very good champagnes, the Louis Roerderer style readily springs to mind, plus very good Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. But today, it’s all about the wines I’m featuring below, al artisanal New Zealand white w wines. exceptional

2010 Johanneshof Pinot Gris Trocken/Dry ($37) Immediately you’re taken in by the golden colour of the wine. A serious nose not unlike some very good Alsatian styles with a complex mix of mineral/smoke/ slate greeting the senses. Yes, there’s pear and tropical fruit salad flavours making it mouthwatering on the palate but the German like precision and balance is ever present keeping the feel textured but not over done. Richness abounds and the palate is full but the outer edge of acidity keeps it all together beautifully.

2012 Johanneshof Marlborough Gewurtztraminer ($55) Another star in the line up garnering much praise and awards for its consistency of high quality output, going so far as to win “Champion Aromatic White Wine” in the Decanter World Wine Awards back in 2005. The striking features of floral/rose petal and spice aromatics followed by intensely powerful “fruit salad” flavours are indeed all consuming with the house style of beautiful balance of weight, texture, and richness again on show. Match this with some spicy Asian pork dish, sensational!

Hoops and history at Wool Museum

BY ALI DEANE THE Geelong Cats are having a stellar run this season, having enjoyed the upper echelons of the ladder all year and looking like serious contenders for another premiership trophy.

But how much do you actually know about where they came from, and the story of the journey to the top?

Geelong’s National Wool Museum (NWM) is behind a new series of Twilight Muster events that explore the fascinating stories of the current Rumour Has It exhibition, and the first is Hoops and History, an enlightening evening about the Cats featuring three inspiring speakers this Thursday night.

Bob Gartland, one of the directors of Geelong Football Club, will be talking about “The Missing Years”.

AFL Historian and life member Col Hutchinson will explore the club changing their name and venue in his Finding Homes for Pivotonians and Cats talk.

And Geelong Football Club veteran Eric Nicholls – player from 1950-1963, reveals a fascinating history from a player’s perspective.

Curious minds and audience participation is encouraged, so head along with plenty of questions for the experts.

Drinks, debate and a light supper will all be part of this fun night out, so if you can’t get enough of the Cats, grab a couple of mates and head to the NWM. More Twilight Musters to be enjoyed include Big Cats, Bunyips and Sea Serpents on Thursday August 29 featuring Simon Townsend who will share insight into the Otway Ranges Enigma of the Black Panther, Dr David Waldron hosts Monsters in the Scrub – a presentation on big cats and Bunyips in local folklore, and Malcolm Smith explores bunyips and sea serpents in the local area.

On Thursday September 19 catch Barry Abley with Magellan or Magalhães, a talk on Deception and Disloyalty, Dr Roy Lawson speaks about the Quest for the Queenscliff Treasure Trove and Dr. Bob Marmion questions whether the Japanese landed at Queenscliff in 1942 in Cowprints in the Sand, part of They Left Nothing But Footprints.

Hoops and History kicks off the Twilight Muster program Thursday August 16 from 6.30pm-9.30pm.

Bookings are essential, call the National Wool Museum on 5271 4701 to reserve your tickets – $20 for adults, $17 for museum members and concessions – includes light supper and refreshments.

Or head to geelongaustralia.com.au/nwm/ for more information.

2008 Johanneshof Marlborough Noble Harvest Riesling ($50) Easily the shining star in the line up and with many awards and gold medals already adorning this wine, it’s easy to see why. The best dessert wines all show a fine harmony of richness, weight and texture balanced by cleansing acidity to reduce any cloying and this has it in spades, making it so deliciously drinkable with the incredible but tempered pineapple/apricot/toasty flavours a highlight. Up there price wise but worth every cent and hard to stop aat three glasse es! glasses!

International day for a light queen

BY ALI DEANE

Get on top of the world at your local lighthouse and be part of the special events celebrating International Lighthouse Weekend. Looking up at the White Queen, Aireys Inlet’s Split Point Lighthouse.

EVERY FRIDAY

Character of the Cape, Marcus White, who will play Titanic band leader Wallace Hartley at a theatre restaurant to celebrate International Lighthouse Weekend at Cape Otway Lightstation this weekend.

FRENCH CHAMPAGNE FROM 5PM

INTERNATIONAL Lighthouse Weekend is an annual celebration of lighthouses around the world and an acknowledgment of the people who work in them.

Although no longer required for maritime navigation, lighthouses around our local coastline still stand tall, and visitors are welcome to take a tour, step back in time, and have their breath taken away by the view. There are many special events taking place this weekend to celebrate International Lighthouse Weekend.

Thanks to the Cape Otway Lightstation’s character actor Marcus White’s family links with the Titanic there will be a Titanic Theatre Restaurant Dinner similar to that served to passengers on the night the Titanic famously struck an iceberg and over 1,500 people lost their lives.

White’s great grandparents hosted members of the RMS Titanic orchestra in their Yorkshire home days before the vessel set sail on its maiden voyage.

He has spent years researching his family’s connections, and the happier musical moments from the fateful night will be brought back to life on Saturday night.

Other weekend activities include a ghost tour and dinner and Characters of the Cape live history performances. Kids can throw a spear, make open fire damper, paint an abalone shell, meet Willie the Whale, and receive a free activity pack at the Lightstation’s Aboriginal Heritage Centre.

On the Bellarine, International Lighthouse

Weekend will be marked with lighthouse tours of Point Lonsdale Lightstation, broadcasts to lighthouses around the world by Geelong Amateur Radio Club, a flag raising ceremony (Saturday 10am), fog horn soundings at 10am and 3pm both days and a children’s art competition. Bookings are required for tours, and appropriate footwear is essential for all lighthouse activities. Aireys Inlet’s Split Point Lighthouse, the White Queen, has been in operation since 1891 and featured in the ABC series Round the Twist. Hours have been extended and themed tours will run on the hour (from 10am-4pm Saturday, 10am-3pm Sunday), including the Lighthouse Detective, Wonderful Whale and a special Late Sunlight tour for photography enthusiasts – to book call 1800 174 045.

Dinner and a show at Front Beach

BY ALI DEANE THE man has been put in his box – literally.

The woman locked him there during the last festive season, promising to review the situation after twelve months.

It is now Boxing Day twelve months on.

What will be her verdict? Will she release him?

Boxing Day is an amusing and thought provoking one act play by Bruce Olive, to be performed by the Torquay Theatre Troupe over two nights next week at Front Beach Café in Torquay.

Directed by Maryanne Doolan, Terry Roseburgh plays the woman and Fred Preston the man.

Together they bring this black comedy, which

depicts the age old battle of the sexes, to life.

The event has been a huge success over the last two years, spurring Torquay Theatre Troupe and Front Beach Café to join forces once again to present the evening of fine food and fun entertainment.

Steve and his staff will conjure up a delicious twocourse meal, followed by TTT’s showcase of the hilarious Boxing Day, next Tuesday and Thursday nights (August 20 and 22) from 6pm.

Numbers are strictly limited so bookings are essential.

Places can be booked by phoning Front Beach on 5261 9752.

The price of this fabulous evening is just $40 per person.

METHOD

PAY ONLY $30 FOR 18 HOLES!

In a bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon zest, oregano, oil and salt. Take a heavy, deep roasting tin large enough to comfortably fit the lamb shoulder. Rub the marinade all over the joint, cover with cling film and leave to marinate for a few hours or, better still, overnight in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Remove the cling film from the lamb and add 250ml of water to the roasting tin. Cover the tin tightly with foil, then place in the oven and roast for 2 hours. Turn the oven temperature down to 110°C and cook for a further 6 hours, checking every so often and adding a little more water if the tin is dry. Remove the foil for the last hour of roasting to crisp up the skin.

While the lamb is roasting, make the marinated onion. Place the onion in a small bowl and break up the slices. Add the salt and leave the onion to weep for 1 hour before draining in a colander. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, sumac and parsley and mix well.

I SPENT much of last weekend in Melbourne. It is strange to be tourist in one’s home town, but you do get a different perspective.

We stayed in the city and visited the Monet exhibition at the National Gallery as well as eating out. My favourite restaurant was Andrew McConnell’s Cutler and Co in Gertrude Street Fitzroy.

When I first went to Melbourne University in 1980, you would not dare walk around this part of town late at night. My father often said “if you don’t study hard you will end up a drunk in Gertrude Street Fitzroy”, such was its reputation.

It was a more than a little intimidating and a very tough neighbourhood.

Times have changed and the area is distinctly sophisticated and urbane. There are many fine restaurants and some really interesting shops and is well worth a visit.

Other highlights while visiting Gertrude Street include: Leftis an architect-designed shop with striking tangle of spaghetti-cord lights with lots of avant-garde clothing labels. Dagmar Rousset is an amazing shop. Owner Julia Pound is a French teacher by night and colourful clothes retailer by day and utilises her retail space for the two different purposes. More than that, I adored the origin of the name Dagmar Rousset. It turns out Julia made it up to distract unwanted approaches

by French men while living in Paris. Formidable!

Saint Cloud is a bike shop without peer. The shop sells elegant bikes and accessories.

Owner Nick Mahoney decided to take the lease on the downstairs shop having lived upstairs for many years. Bruce is a second-hand and vintage clothing store selling designer labels for men and women on consignment. Wonderful French and New York labels without paying international prices.

My old acquaintance from catering and Melbourne Food and Wine Festival days, Pam Bakes, runs Pam Bakes at Page Two at 99 George Street. It is an “Aladdin’s cave of vintage, interesting and second hand books”. Mostly an internet business, it is open most Saturdays from 11.30am.

Finally, a lamb shoulder recipe with marinated onion from Andrew McConnell.

The lamb you should use is local and always available form Torquay Farm Foods.

Step back in time with the work of Kenneth Jack

BY ALI DEANE ARTIST Kenneth Jack travelled to every corner of Australia and returned to the urban art scene with trademark interpretations of the stark beauty and moods of the Australian outback.

His images reflect an almost forgotten outback life; explorers, old mine workings, abandoned ghost towns, and decaying farm buildings.

A large collection of his work is proudly on show now at Metropolis Gallery, Geelong.

Some pieces are well known with others to be viewed for the first time.

Kenneth Jack: Classic and Rare Works, paintings, drawings and prints from the Jack Family Collection features watercolours of the Flinders Ranges and the opal fields of White Cliffs in New South Wales, historic oil paintings from the 1950s and imagery from the local area including a classic of the road leading into Aireys Inlet.

The Road to Bridgewater Bay from the 1940s is represented in three related works in oil, watercolour and etching.

There are also linocuts of gold towns and billabongs, lithographs of volcanoes, Portland and Ballarat and etchings of Geelong College and Geelong Grammar.

BY ALI DEANE

Ukulele queen of the Bellarine Sarah Carroll and Chris Wilson will perform in big lineup at the Piping Hot Chicken Shop’s Elvis tribute night, Viva Las Chicken.

THE Piping Hot Chicken Shop in Ocean Grove is the place to be this Friday night, especially if you’re a fan of Elvis Presley as they host Viva Las Chicken – an Elvis tribute night serving up a smorgasbord of top local musicians.

The retro-modern chicken shop that has the reputation of the best coffee on the Bellarine and the biggest burgers, also boasts an awesome lineup of great live music through summer and winter.

More than 20 musicians will give fans their take on Elvis classics, from blues-rock master Chris Wilson, to ukulele queen of the Bellarine Sarah Carroll from The Junes.

With Wayne Jury, Lucie Thorne, Al Turrill, Rusty Rich, Kaz Dalla Rosa, Nigel Wearne, Steve McEwan, Matt Baird, Tim Neal, Tex Miller and many more, Viva Las Chicken will be the ultimate dedication to the king.

Already this year, the Chicken Shop has dished up nights with The Junes, Pugsley Buzzard, Scion Pirates, The Hornets, Carus Thompson, The Disco Rockers Trio, Roesy, Claude Hay, Lloyd Spiegel, Carino Son, Brother Popcorn, Gil Askey, Collard, Greens and Gravy and Mic Conway.

In July, Soul Rectifiers, Tanks Dilemma, Chris Wilson, Annie Moloney and Leisha Grant lifted the roof.

Music lovers can look forward to The Lucilles later this month (August 24), Soul Rectifiers,

Wayne Jury and Alison Penny, Fiona Boyes and Watermelon Slim (USA), Rory Ellis Trio, Scion Pirates, Al Turrill, Jamie Pye and Jack Wright, Nick Barker and Sarah’s Christmas Carrolls in December.

Anticipated to sell out fast, make sure you book your ticket ($20) by calling The Piping Hot Chicken Shop on 5255 1566 or pop in to Shop 6, 63 The Terrace, Ocean Grove.

Artists sought for Connected exhibition

BY ALI DEANE AN ART exhibition with a difference will take over Federation Square, Melbourne later this year, and the call is out now for entries.

The State Trustees Connected Art Exhibition is in its 11th year, and showcases and celebrates the work of Victorian artists with a disability or experience of mental illness.

This prestigious event showcases the power of artistic expression and how it acts as a creative outlet for feelings and experiences.

From October 29 to November 6 the best shortlisted artworks created by new and emerging artists will be on show, prizes awarded to the top three works to the value of $2,000, and the Allan Merigan People’s Choice Award announced.

State Trustees managing director Tony Fitzgerald says the exhibition provides a platform to empower artists and promote their work to a wide audience.

“In the past, featured artists have commented on how proud they are to be involved with the exhibition

and how excited they are to sell their work and see it displayed in a city gallery,” Mr Fitzgerald said.

“For some it has opened up other professional opportunities to exhibit and to share their stories about how art has helped them through difficult times and how it has helped them to connect with their communities.”

The exhibition that featured just 22 artworks in its inaugural year of 2003, has grown steadily to feature 150 artists from across Victoria in 2012.

Local artists are encouraged to enter submissions including work produced through art groups.

Art mediums on display will include painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, digital media, photography, print making and poetry.

Entries close 5pm August 23 and finalists will be selected on September 6.

Connected Art Exhibition will be open to the public from October 29 at the Yarra Building in Federation Square, Melbourne.

Head to statetrustees.com.au/connected for entry forms.

Bell Street Fiesta gets a little DAFT

BY DEAN WEBSTER AFTER last year’s successful launch of the first Bell Street Fiesta in May, organisers looked at better ways the event could support not only Bell Street but the rest of Torquay.

As Torquay is a town known for its surf culture mixed with local artists, surrounded by wineries, and boutique breweries, and the love for good food and coffee – Drink Arts Food Torquay (DAFT) was born.

The concept broadens the event with activities throughout the town over the whole weekend incorporating the Bell Street Fiesta on the Saturday.

Organisers have also decided to run DAFT at the start of spring due to better weather, daylight savings and to support local businesses.

The events history goes back as early as 2007 when a small group of newly established Bell Street traders met to generate initiatives to market Bell Street as the Torquay art precinct.

Other marketing strategies were conducted to foster Bell Street’s reputation as the place of food, art, wine and music, such as in the summer of 2009 when a blues music concert was held in the street and the crowd enjoyed the session and gave positive feedback that they’d like to see more.

By this time, the group of Bell Street traders had

joined Torquay Commerce and Tourism to provide consolidated organisation for all Torquay businesses.

In late 2010, a group of keen committee members of Torquay Commerce and Tourism and Surf Coast councillors saw the opportunity to revitalise the 2009 event.

From this group, a small committee was created with a charter to plan and operate a Bell Street Fiesta.

Bizz3228, Torquay’s community business group, saw an opportunity to be involved and also supports this event.

DAFT is on the weekend of October 11–13 with Bell Street Fiesta on the Saturday.

The event will now be focused as a weekend long festival that promotes local produce, beverages, art and music through the venues in town.

DAFT - Drink Arts Food Torquay tagline is “come for a fun filled weekend get a little DAFT”.

Interested in being a stallholder?

Bell Street Fiesta is looking for Surf Coast Shire businesses to be a part of this annual event.

Please contact Miranda on miranda_millen@ yahoo.com.

For all other inquires about the DAFT or Bell Street Fiesta please contact the project manager Katrina White on katrina@daftorquay.com.

WHAT’S PLANNED AT A GLANCE •

RACV Resort is hosting the Friday evening degustation event including celebrity chefs and local food and wine matching

•

Bell Street Fiesta will be buzzing on Saturday with bands, farmers’ market, stalls and plenty of street activities

•

Venues in town will host master classes in cooking, wine and beer appreciation

•

The evening will stay alive with the Torquay Trail and a VIP courtesy bus to get you around town.

•

On Sunday morning the RACV, Peppers Resort and Wydham Resort will be hosting Breakfast Picnic by the Beach at Fishermans Beach with entertainment.

Rotary library fair book boom GEELONG West Rotary Club’s annual Geelong Book Fair will more than double in size this year with the Geelong Regional Library Corporation donating thousands of its withdrawn books to help local and other Rotary charities and causes.

The club has collected around 40,000 books in the past 12 months from clubs, schools and other organisations and individuals as well as from Geelong Regional Library sites.

It is a huge effort by one of Geelong’s smaller Rotary clubs with less than 40 members.

Books are collected every Tuesday morning over 12 months and sorted on Sunday mornings for six months before the book Fair is held.

The Geelong Book Fair, now in its eighth year, will be held on August 16 and 17 from 10am to 5pm and on Sunday August 19 from 10am to 3pm.

Because of the magnitude of this year’s event, the club is seeking volunteers to help with loading books at its Slevin Street, North Geelong warehouse on August 15 and unpacking them at Geelong West Town Hall and also with the reverse process on August 19.

Books are for sale at $1 a paperback and $2 a hardcover, with special prices for more valuable or rare collectors’ items.

This year, because of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation’s input, there also will be many more foreign language and large print books for sale than in the past.

In relation to Geelong Regional Library Corporation books, corporation chief executive

officer Patti Manolis explains.

“We routinely de-select items from our collection due to decreased demand, new editions or diminished appeal of subject matter”.

“This process helps to keep our collection fresh and up to date with current trends and interests.

“We are delighted to combine this regular process with being able to support the Geelong West Rotary Club raise money for local and international charities.”

Last year, the club raised more than $15,000 for local charitable organisations and for selected Rotary projects in developing countries and more than $100,000 in the eight years it has been held.

Club president Trish Roberts said there were some magnificent books available and that because of the size of the fair this year it was being marketed in Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo and Warrnambool as well as the Geelong region.

“We are aiming to make this a much bigger event on the Geelong calendar than it has been in the past thanks to the involvement of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation,” Ms Roberts said.

Volunteers can contact club secretary Mandy Gaylard, at 0438 412 709.

Geelong West Rotary Club’s annual Geelong Book Fair will have around 40,000 books on sale at its mid-August event.

With this

A ring symbolises a decisive mark of commitment, promise of ultimate love and devotion.

BEING circles, they have no beginning and no end and thus represent eternity, renewal, wholeness, and perfection.

While the wedding gown may be the centre of attention on your wedding day – your engagement and wedding rings, like your commitment to each other, should last forever.

Rings are a symbol that will be worn every day and are ultimately an important investment that deserves time and consideration.

Coming from a trade with skills perfected over hundreds of years – handmade rings are crafted with love. They are individual, inherently stronger and made to last a lifetime.

In purchasing from a qualified jeweller you can be part of the designing process.

From discussion regarding design to the selection of stones – a handmade ring results in a more meaningful creation.

The process should be an exciting, romantic and fun experience.

It is also a purchase that should be informed.

The diamonds in an engagement ring are where the majority of costs are so it is important to know what you are looking at.

Lili Fine Jewellery are the only manufacturing jewellers on the Surf Coast where you can meet and discuss directly with the jeweller about your ring, made to order.

Lili Fine Jewellery is located at the corner of Pearl Street and Boston Road, Torquay, 3228. Phone 5261 9999 or visit www.lilifj.com.au for more.

Picturesque chapel

Make it an occasion

If you are planning a wedding in Geelong or the Surf Coast, you may wish to have your ceremony in the beautiful and historic sandstone Deakin Chapel, located at the rear of the Deakin Waurn Ponds campus.

IN 1858, the Parish of Darriwell built St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel at Sutherlands Creek, using locally quarried sandstone.

It was built in a simple English Gothic style and was used as a school and place of worship for many decades.

In the 1950s it was abandoned and left to become a picturesque ruin.

The chapel was relocated stone by stone to its current lakeside setting in 1983, using volunteer labour.

The stained glass windows came from the demolished St Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church in Melbourne, but the doors of the chapel are original, having been salvaged by a local resident when the original building was in an advance state of decay.

Deakin Chapel is non-denominational

and provides a tranquil and romantic setting for your service.

It has seating for 60 guests and standing room for an additional 20 (including the bridal party), or you may wish to hold your service on the flagstone area outside, using Deakin Chapel and the nearby lake as a magnificent backdrop for your wedding vows, and of course for your photos.

You are welcome to have your service led by your own minister or celebrant, and Deakin Chapel is available for use by all members of the community, for a small hire fee.

For enquiries, please phone Deakin Lakehouse on 52271273, or email simoneha@deakin.edu.au.

A wedding inside the chapel.

Put yourself in the frame

The sandstone Deakin Chapel was built in 1858, moved to its present location in 1983 and makes a beautiful setting for a wedding.

OCCASIONS Party Hire is talking up its record as the number one provider to the wedding market in Geelong and the surrounding region.

The South Geelong business has more than 20 years experience as a party specialist, and says it is the leading provider in wedding hire, as well as in marquee hire and structure hire. Couples can design their dream wedding exactly the way they want with the help of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert wedding planner.

Occasions has everything to ensure the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special day is an occasion to remember, and reserves its highest quality equipment for weddings.

As well as marquees and structures, the business can provide flooring, lighting, chairs and tables, outdoor furniture (including flags and market umbrellas), bar service equipment, crockery, cutlery, glassware, serving bowls and platters, candelabras, and linen table and chair covers.

Couples can also hire electrical equipment such as urns and bain maries, as well as gas equipment such as area heaters, radiant heaters and table servers.

For functions, Occasions recommends Music Workshop for audio and visual hire and The RK Group for event catering.

Established in 1987 by Bill Lucas, Occasions had its beginnings in a small shed in South Geelong.

However, Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving philosophy, commitment to customer needs and attention to detail soon saw the business grow.

In 1998, Occasions was relocated to a much larger Barwon Terrace site in South Geelong, where it remains today. This enabled Bill to expand all areas of the business and Occasions today boasts Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest party showroom, which showcases the widest range of quality products for hire and sale.

Occasions Party Hire is at 83 Barwon Terrace, South Geelong and is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to noon.

Wedding bliss

with a wedding

at Hepburn

SINCE 1895, the Hepburn Bathhouse has been a must-do when visiting Australia’s premier spa destination.

Open daily, visitors can select from a range of indoor heated pools, spas and bathing environments all providing the health giving benefits of the abundant local mineral springs.

The waters of Hepburn Springs have long been renowned for their healing properties.

Indeed, the springs were considered so valuable that gold mining was halted in the region to protect them.

In 1894, the original Hepburn Mineral Springs Bathhouse was completed and opened for business.

It attracted visitors from around Australia and remains Hepburn’s only historic bathhouse.

The Bathhouse and Sanctuary continue to offer the traditional communal bathing experience in heated mineral pools.

The bathhouse houses the relaxation pool and the spa pool.

The more intimate space of the sanctuary includes spa couches, an aroma steam room, salt therapy pool and the relaxation deck.

Bathing in “nature’s very own champagne” at the Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa is a truly memorable experience to be enjoyed by all, including large groups, smaller groups and individuals.

Coupled with a spa treatment and Devonshire tea, it is the perfect way to enjoy some rest and relaxation before the special day.

Tipsfor the

big day

WITH KALO HAIR BEAUTY IT’S important to have quite a good idea of the look and feel of your wedding and what your dress will look like before you start trialling hair and makeup.

Looking for a chic updo for your wedding day?

First of all – take care of your hair! We hairdressers can only work with what we have got.

Leading up to the event have regular trims and treatments. Use a good shampoo and conditioner not just on the day, your hair will thank you for it.

On your trial and wedding day, have clean, dry hair. Wash the night before.

We all know you’re meant to be fashionably late to the ceremony, but don’t be for your hairdresser.

This is very common and puts your hairdresser under stress before she even starts.

HOT TIP – MAKE SURE BROWS ARE GROOMED AND SMALL TOUCH-UP KIT IS ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA FOR THE DAY. Your bridal hair should be the best of you!

If you usually wear your hair off your face or you wear it curly etcetera, then wear it like that, but in a

Kalo Hair Beauty will make you look and feel spectacular on your wedding day.

more glamorous way. Theme it to the style of your dress and wedding.

Find the right hairdresser, make sure in your trial she understands you and that you like each other.

On your trial day bring in some visual references, your idea of a bun maybe different to theirs.

Also bring in your headpiece, veil etcetera.

The big day Relax and enjoy, let the professionals do their job,

HOT TIP – LEAVE YOUR HAIR NATURAL. DO NOT STRAIGHTEN. that’s why you have researched and organised this day so well. Have fun!

Makeup on your special day should look like the best version of yourself, so you feel and look confident, sexy, beautiful and romantic.

Kalo Hair Beauty recommends as little foundation as you can get away with – less is best. For

photographs, soft definition on the eyes, a slightly deeper but natural colour for those kissable lips.

But if a strong lip is your thing and that’s how you think you look best, you should absolutely go for it, and more blush.

You should look and feel spectacular on your wedding day – so whatever makes you feel gorgeous is the look to go for. Kalo Hair Beauty is located at 2/62 The Terrace, Ocean Grove and can be contacted on 5255 4443 or via kalohairbeauty@hotmail. com. Visit kalohairbeauty.com.au for more.

Measles alert VICTORIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S chief health officer Dr Rosemary Lester has warned Victorians of the signs and symptoms of measles, following a recent case who attended several public places in metropolitan Melbourne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While this case â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 26-year-old East Brunswick man â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is now recovering, it is possible he may have infected others before being diagnosed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have established he attended a Hoyts cinema at Northland on Thursday afternoon August 1 and an East Brunswick medical practice on the morning of August 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general practitioner who saw him correctly suspected measles and arranged for him to be isolated and treated at Royal Melbourne Hospital until he was discharged on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The illness usually begins with common cold symptoms such as fever, sore throat, red eyes and a cough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The characteristic measles rash usually begins 3-7 days after the first symptoms, generally starting on the face and then spreading to the rest of the body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone developing symptoms is advised to ring ahead to their GP or hospital and alert them that they have fever and a rash.â&#x20AC;?

People who know they have been in contact with a measles case should alert their GP or hospital emergency department, which can give treatment in a way that minimises transmission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measles is a highly infectious viral disease that can cause serious illness, particularly in very young children and adults,â&#x20AC;? Dr Lester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with measles are often hospitalised.

People can develop pneumonia and other serious complications from the disease.â&#x20AC;?

Green exercise and the great outdoors WITH ROSE CONSTANCE AT STEP INTO LIFE

Exercise of the Week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DIPS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shaping those arms for summer

GREEN exercise, which is exercising in a park, can lead to an immediate improvement in mood and self esteem.

Last year, I wrote an article on the findings of green exercise by Jo Barton, a sports scientist at the University of Essex, England.

Dr Barton has teamed up with Daniel Brown and Valerie Gladwell and come up with even more benefits to exercising outdoors.

Two recent systematic reviews have concluded that exposure to nature is associated with improved mental wellbeing in comparison to indoor environments.

Viewing nature scenes positively affects recovery of autonomic function following acute mental stress.

Scientists are now calling for doctors to prescribe green exercise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; working out in a park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for patients who suffer from mental illness.

Dr Barton said that as well as protecting against future health threats, outdoor exercise could even increase life expectancy.

The reviews found a significant increase in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self esteem and mood, particularly when they exercised in the wilderness or by water.

This is because historically we are drawn to water to survive.

Why this exercise is beneficial Compound exercise using more than one muscle, shoulder, triceps and chest.

It primarily works your triceps giving your arms great shape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gets rid of flabby arm syndrome!

Would recommend you perform this exercise 2-3 times a week, 15-20 repetitions by two sets.

1. Sit up straight on the long edge of an exercise bench. Your legs should be slightly extended, with your feet flat on the floor.

Step Into Life member Erin Stock demonstrates the dip, which works your triceps; giving your arms great shape.

Conclusion Outdoor natural environments may provide some of the best all-round health benefits by increasing physical activity levels including stress reduction, restoring mental fatigue, and improving mood and self-esteem and perceived health.

It is hoped that by more individuals partaking in green exercise and enjoying the great outdoors, they will retain their evolutionary connection with nature and act to become more protective of it.

2. Place your hands on both sides of the bench just outside your hips. Your palms should be down, fingertips pointing towards the floor.

3. Without moving your legs, bring your glutes forward off the bench.

4. Steadily lower yourself. When your elbows form 90Ë&#x161; angles, push yourself back up to starting position For more information on how to spring into shape for summer contact Rose on 0422 113 623 or go to our website Stepintolife.com â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Special Offer for the month of August receive a free four week personalised diet and nutrition plan (valued at $79.95) to kick start your health and fitness journey.

Tuesday 13 August 2013

ADVERTORIAL

Sign here for signature event Since its humble beginnings 16 years ago the Portarlington Golf Club’s Carnival of Golf has become the club’s signature event.

HELD annually, the nine-day event showcases the award winning golf course and the extensive clubhouse facilities including the newly installed TAB, Keno, entertainment room and Fairways Bistro run by head chef Chris Vakidis, who was Community Clubs Association of Victoria Chef of the Year 2012.

The beautifully designed Cashmore course features 18 holes, practice nets, putting green and a driving range which are maintained all year round by our experienced ground staff.

The standard of the course will impress even the harshest critic.

At the Victorian Golf Industry Awards earlier this year the club won the Regional Pro Am of the Year and for the second year running the Regional Pro Am Course of the Year, which was a huge milestone in the club’s history.

The Carnival of Golf consists of 13 events – six men’s, five ladies’ and two mixed events – commencing August 31 and finishing on September 9.

Last year saw a record 1,300 entries attracting golfers from all over the state from all different levels of age and experience.

With most events filling up fast the club is encouraging interested players to get their entries in early to avoid disappointment.

A club spokesperson said that with great accommodation venues in the area it is a great way to spend some time away and maybe even make a mini holiday out of the event.

With an extensive range of excellent prizes and trophies (valued at over $15,000) on offer, the Carnival of Golf is a major event on most golfing enthusiasts’ calendars.

With the generous support of local businesses it makes for a truly memorable experience on the pristine Bellarine Peninsula in an event not to be missed.

mind matters

Tuesday 13 August 2013

© Joanne Madeline Moore 2013

A relationship with a friend or acquaintance could cool, as responsibilities overtake having fun. If you keep the lines of communication open, things will soon settle down. Friday is fabulous for innovative ideas and making international connections. But avoid being too confrontational with a loved one or workmate this weekend; softly, softly is the way to go.

Rams will feel feisty on Wednesday, as the moon and Mars link up. If you channel your fiery energy into sport, exercise or domestic duties, then you’ll feel less frazzled. Inspiration is high on Thursday as you create, donate or participate. When Venus moves through your relationship zone from Saturday until September 11 aim to be less defensive and more diplomatic.

Don’t assume you have all the answers Crabs. You have much to learn from others, especially the children in your life. Listen for the words of wisdom that come out of the mouths of little people! And have you been feuding with a family member? Venus visits your domestic zone from August 17 until September 11 so it’s time to hold out the olive branch of peace.

Librans love to shop but are your finances in a precarious state? If you separate your wants from your needs, it will shorten your shopping list considerably. Love, romance, companionship and creativity are all highlighted when Venus vamps through your sign from Saturday through until September 11. It’s time to flirt up a storm, as you call in a few old favours!

Relationships and responsibilities go hand-in-hand this week Bulls. If you try to escape from family commitments, loved ones won’t be amused! Others are keen for you to change your mind about a current situation, but are you digging your hooves in and refusing to budge? On Thursday, Mercury and Uranus encourage you to look at things from a fresh perspective.

With the sun and Mercury charging through your sign and Venus moving into luxury-loving Libra it’s time for larger-than-life Leos to let your hair down, express yourself and indulge your senses. Be inspired by the wonderful Mae West born on August 17, 1892 - “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.” But don’t neglect your domestic duties in the process!

Proceed carefully with professional projects early in the week. If you are too hasty or too stubborn then you could encounter a problem with a colleague, client or customer. Strong feelings resurface on the weekend, as others push your emotional buttons. Settle down Scorpio, otherwise you run the risk of turning a minor matter into a major obsession.

Early in the week there may be some conflict between personal and professional responsibilities. Thursday is your best day, as your Aquarian imagination takes you to magical places. It’s also the perfect time to approach problems in perceptive new ways. From Saturday onwards Venus blesses study, education, commerce, publishing, travel and legal matters.

Your fickle attention span will be tested especially at work when a challenging project demands that you concentrate for more than 60 seconds. You’ve got so many innovative ideas buzzing around in your head but don’t waste your numerous talents Twins! The week will work well if you can get the balance right between being wildly creative and doggedly disciplined.

When Mercury (your ruling planet) and serious Saturn link up, you can veer off into Virgo worry-wart mode. But stressing about problems won’t help.

Instead, roll up your sleeves, put your head down, and get on with the job at hand. Your motto for the week is “Keep calm and carry on!” Finances are favoured from August 17-September 11, when Venus visits your money zone.

Slow down Sagittarius! If you run around on auto-pilot, then you’re more likely to make thoughtless remarks and silly slip-ups. Plus resist the temptation to jump in and judge others. With a flexible mind and an open heart, you’ll sail through any temporary glitches. The weekend is wonderful for outdoor adventures, creative collaborations and group get-togethers.

Are you procrastinating about which Piscean project to pursue? With Saturn activating your aspirations zone, focus on your goals for the future. And, with Neptune moving through your sign, it’s also time to follow your bliss. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Julia Child – “Find something you’re passionate about, and keep tremendously interested in it.”

NOTIFICATION OF PIPELINE WORKS ROAD CLOSURES AND DETOURS

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Barwon Water Alliance is constructing a recycled water system to service the new Torquay North development. It will be the first residential development in the Surf Coast Shire to benefit from high quality recycled water.

The Victorian Community Road Safety Alliance

The system includes building a pipeline to transfer recycled water from the Mount Duneed storage tank to a new storage tank on Ghazeepore Road, and a pipeline to distribute recycled water to homes, schools, sports fields and the civic precinct in Torquay North.

A CALL FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS

The next stage of work involves the construction of the recycled water transfer pipeline. The pipeline will travel along Williams Road, Dickins Road and Ghazeepore Road. There will be changes to traffic conditions as construction progresses along these roads.

We will close roads between major intersections and detour traffic. These changes will begin in mid August and be completed in December. Intersections being closed as construction progresses are:

ENTRIES CLOSE SOON!

The goal of the Victorian Community Road Safety Alliance is to contribute to the development and delivery of community road safety programs to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads.

Feature Breeds Dexter and Texel

We will bore the pipeline underneath the Surf Coast Highway to minimise disruptions.

Reduced speed limits will be in place during this work. Vehicle access for residents and businesses along the construction corridor will be maintained.

10th anniversary of four flags for Grubbers A DECADE ago a gallant nine point victory over Geelong Amateur saw Ocean Grove Football Club reigning premiers four years running.

On Saturday, the club held their past players’ day and 2003 premiership reunion.

While the crowd watched the Grubbers receive an 82 point flogging at the hands of premiership favourite Queenscliff Couta’s, the premiership players reminisced about more successful days.

Grubbers 2003 vice captain Jimmy Dalton said it was a wintery day 10 years ago when the team led and coached by former Melbourne Football Club coach Mark Neeld and captain Damian Clark

snatched victory.

“Damian got knocked out cold 20 minutes in and was taken to emergency with a broken wrist and shoulder.

“We were down at every break and were three goals behind going into the fourth.

“Liam Rock came out and kicked three goals in that final quarter and was best on and Kane Montgomery kicked a pretty special goal too. We were down all day then we won the cup.”

Jimmy said under the direction of Neeld every player had an individual role to fulfil during the game and that was what made the team so unique.

“Some of our roles weren’t spectacular but if we did the role we won the game.

“It really was team orientated. Today’s about getting the boys back to catch up and reminisce.”

Jimmy said that day after their win he was readying himself to take the podium and accept the cup when captain Damian Clark appeared without a cast to take the honours.

“He’d sat in emergency all day and hadn’t been seen so he made his wife drive him back so he could accept the cup then went straight back into hospital.

“It’s a running joke between us,” he said.

“I thought I nearly got to hold the cup. We

(Grubbers) haven’t won a cup since that day but we’ve played in two, the 2004 and the 2007 final since.”

Meanwhile, present day playing coach Shane Jack reflected on Saturday’s loss to the Coutas, who are on track for a third consecutive flag.

“The first three quarters were ok but the last quarter they got on top and were hard to stop.

“We were down by about eight points half way through the third.

“Then they just ran over the top of us.

“We’ve been playing some good footy and it’s come down to us having to win the last game for us to make finals. It’s up to us which is good.”

WEEKEND RESULTS

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

FROM THE GOLF SHOP

Conditions started well for the men on Wednesday but deteriorated rapidly mid afternoon with heavy rain. Most managed to finish their rounds and the winners were Kent Taylor in A grade with square, Nigel Forsyth in B grade with 3 up, Brian Virtue in C grade with 2 up and Eddie Brenner in the seniors with 3 down. There was no water coming from the sky for the ladies on Thursday, in fact it was quite sunny and warm, but the water underfoot proved a major distraction for most and a significant handicap.

Relief was available from the water, but the challenge was often finding a dry spot to hit from.

Vida Brenner had the day’s best score with 1 down winning Division 1. Jan Stewart won Division 2 with 5 down and Wendy Callahan won Division 2 with 4 down. NTP winners were Wendy Callahan, Margot Parton, Jan Stewart and Noelene Dumbrell.

Saturday was a fundraising day for the Anglesea Surf Club and the weather certainly supported the event. It was fine and sunny and a slightly drier course than Thursday. Club members led the day with Captain David Lewis combining with lucky George Jasinski to win the men’s event with a very respectable 10 up. The next best scores were at 7 up. In the ladies event Anna Stokes combined with late draftee Nancye Warhurst to score 1 up and win with another healthy margin to the runners up on 3 down.

The Surf Club raised over $14,000 on the day.

Sunday was another day without rain and the course was probably the best for the whole week – still wet on the back nine though. Winner for the ladies was Valda Connelly with 31 points on a countback from Anna Stokes. In the mens event the winners were Mark Couzens in A Grade with 38 points, Colin Jarratt in B Grade with 34 points and Peter Atherden in C Grade with 38 points.

Make sure you check the course photos on the big screen at the in the Clubhouse. We have a photo taken in one of the recent downpours with the 18th green and fairway almost completely underwater.

David Lewis and his playing partner are playing out the hole as apparently David was only 6 inches from the hole –he missed the putt!

Enjoy your golf and stay warm and dry.

IT SEEMS no matter what day you play golf on the course is going to be wet, try not to be too hard on yourself if your scores are not as good as you would like. The ball does not seem to go as far when the fairways are wet and the carry onto the par 3s has all of a sudden got longer too. Guess that’s winter golf and we all need to adjust to the conditions. At least we are out there is the cry from our members no matter what the weather or state of play. That sounds like a good point really, we are out there and we should enjoy it.

Congratulations to Cheryl Brunt taking out this month’s medal and the A grade win for the ladies with 67 net, and what an effort as this is her 2nd medal running, keep up the great scoring. Chris Barr was not happy to have lost the medal by one stroke scoring 68 net and yes she did tell Cheryl that too, all in good fun though and both girls were laughing about it.

Of course her score was good enough to take out the B grade win and that was her consolation prize. NTPs Bernadette Oliver, Chris Barr and Cheryl Brunt. Karen Grayling hit a great shot to win the jackpot on the 13th.

Nick Ivens with 41 points won A grade on Wednesday and thanks to a lovely shot on the 17th also got the jackpot. Thank goodness he did take out the jackpot as Ken Munro would have been way too embarrassed to explain his shot on the 17th that did have the NTP before Nick beat

it. B Grade winner was Jack Diamond also with 41 points, a great effort to come home in the rain with that score.

Taking out C grade John Fraser with 40 points.

Don Jennings had 32 points to win the seniors.

NTPs Andy Clark, John Berridge, Michael Jennings, Tyson Gill and Don Jennings.

Friday Bryan Conquest had the winning score for the mixed competition with 36 points. John Brunt took out the only NTP and Paul Brunt hit the jackpot.

Saturday we finally got our men’s medal finished and at the top of the leaderboard was Andrew Groom with a great score off a (10) handicap he finished with 59 net to win the August Medal and A grade. Ian Foot took out B Grade with 60 net.

Ward Szymczak had 65 net winning C grade.

Annette Joyce with 69 net won the ladies and for the seniors it was Don Jennings with 38 points.

NTPs Paul Byron, Bill Booth, Russell Stewart, Rex Hutchins, Lyn Moore, Jill Chicky as was written and Bob Gough. Bill Higgins scored an eagle on the 11th and Daryl Clutterbuck hit the jackpot.

The men’s winner on Sunday was David Rae with 42 points and for the ladies Leonie Brown had 37 points from (Queens Park GC). NTPs Tony Strahan and David Lindsay. John Laidlaw hit a good shot to take the jackpot.

Saturday Stableford Blue: Phil Coulter battled the wet course to post a good score of plus 1 from ex member Dick Fowlston on square who showed he still knows where to hit it. Pete Jones took out the NTP on 17 straight into a head wind.

Saturday Stableford Black: A tough day for black tee with no run on the course. Big hitting Jason Cranny was able to shoot square to from Terry Tobin minus 1. NTP went to Terry Beggs who has been getting amongst the prizes of late.
