Torquay police need your help to stop thefts from cars

SOFT TOUCH

BY JAMES TAYLOR

TORQUAY police have urged the community to reverse the town’s reputation as a “soft touch” for criminals who steal from cars. There have been about 80 reported thefts of items from cars in Torquay and Jan Juc since the start of the year, with the vast majority coming from vehicles that were unlocked. Detective Sergeant Duncan Frame said the community attitude of leaving

cars unlocked with valuables inside had to change. “Intelligence we’re getting from offenders is that Torquay is seen as a soft target. It seems like (locking cars) is not necessary down here – I’m not sure why that is. He said he was “staggered” people did not lock their cars. Items stolen include mobile telephones, computers, purses, wallets, credit cards and sunglasses. “In a number of cases, the keys

were left in the car and the car has also been stolen.” Some thieves have even used remote garage openers left in cars to gain entry to homes. Detective Frame said police intelligence had identified a group of offenders from Geelong and Corio aged between 14 and 23 – some of whom were stealing to support their ice habit – that often travelled to Torquay en masse. Thefts were most prevalent between 2-6am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

“It’s become obvious that these people are talking to each other and it’s become common knowledge that there are a number of unlocked cars in Torquay,” Detective Frame said. Leading Senior Constable Roger Licheni said it was not just cars parked in the street that were at risk from the opportunistic thefts. “They’re hitting cars in carports, open garages, driveways... they’re going right up to the houses.” He said police would run a campaign

during June and July of doorknocking at every house with an unlocked vehicle to bring it to the attention of the residents. Senior Sergeant Craig Stevens said there were many victims who had never reported the thefts, but urged people to phone the police as soon as they were aware of the crime. He said police would be mounting more patrols and at different times of the day, and there was a 24hour response in Torquay even when the police station was unmanned as calls were diverted to Geelong.

MAYOR’S COLUMN Celebrating the Borough’s blokes

Community noticeboard gets a timely revamp

This year, Men’s Health Week is all about celebrating the many and wonderful contributions that boys and men bring to our lives. As mayor, it is such a privilege to see on a daily basis the many ways men contribute to our community, through work, our sporting clubs, local volunteer committees and social groups. Council values their diversity, energy, creativity, views, participation in and contribution to the community. Men play more than just the traditional roles of fathers, brothers, uncles, husbands, partners and friends. They are also our neighbours, our volunteers, our guests, our leaders, our team-mates, our colleagues, our students and most importantly, our future. Men’s Health Week aims to open up issues and opportunities to help communities help men and boys. To improve the mental, physical and social health of boys and men in the borough means working locally alongside them to better understand how their health is shaped by the various aspects of their lives. This includes priorities such as ensuring people have good access to recreation facilities, local health services and opportunities to socialise and join local activity groups to stay connected within the community. The Queenscliffe and District Men’s Shed is a leader in supporting local men of all ages socialise, learn and share skills, work together and also support each other about men’s health issues. The Queenscliffe and District Men’s Shed meets on Thursdays from 9am to noon at the Queenscliffe and District Neighbourhood House.

The community noticeboard in Field Park in Hesse Street was recently revamped thanks to the hard work and skill of the members of the Queenscliffe and District Men’s Shed. This community partnership project was made possible through the Borough of Queenscliffe funding the materials and the Queenscliffe and District Men’s Shed who build and installed it. The Community Noticeboard is an opportunity

for the locals to promote events and activities and for residents and visitors to keep up-to-date with all that is happening and available in the borough. People wishing to submit information to be posted on the noticeboard are encouraged to drop into the Visitor Information Centre, 55 Hesse Street, Queenscliff.

Council meeting The council next meets on Wednesday June 25 at 7pm. All welcome.

Great Ocean Tourism forums tonight, tomorrow THE newly formed Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism (GORRT) organisation is conducting its first industry engagement forums for tourism operators across the region tonight and tomorrow. The forums will present the business model and strategic priorities for GORRT for the next 12 months and outline and discuss the prospective suite of business services and projects for industry participation. Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism Ltd (GORRT) is the new organisation responsible for the marketing and development of tourism across the Great Ocean Road Region. This new entity focuses on the geographic area

from Torquay to the South Australian border. The new board held its first meeting in February 2014 and the board has now adopted its Strategic Business Plan for 2014 -2015. The industry forum aims to: • Provide useful information about the new organisation including opportunities to work with GORRT • Inspire industry with a new vision for tourism management and development in the region • Introduce the new general manager, Liz Price, and explain the staffing structure of the organisation and support available • Highlight existing and future projects for the

benefit of the region • Gather industry leaders, businesses and operators together to share and learn. GORRT board chair Wayne Kayler-Thomson encouraged all tourism businesses to attend either of the two events and hear about the activities planned for tourism promotion in the region and how they can get involved. “Collaboration is the key for a large region with such diverse experiences and events like this forum provide great opportunity to unite the industry,” he said. Tonight’s forum is in Lorne at the Cumberland Resort between 4 and 6pm.

Tomorrow’s forum will be hosted in Warrnambool between 1.30 and 3.30pm at Quality Suites Deep Blue and Spa. The program will include presentations from Tourism Australia, Tourism Victoria and the Victorian Tourism Industry Council, along with details of participation opportunities for the upcoming year presented by GORRT. The event will conclude with a networking session where operators will have the chance to make new connections and meet the GORRT team. Business representatives are requested to RSVP to attend the forums to rsvp@gort.com.au or by phoning 5561 7894.

Torquay Central redevelopment begins BY JAMES TAYLOR

A whale, believed to be a Southern Right, breaches near a surfer at Jan Juc yesterday morning around 10am. The whale was spotted with a friend around Bells earlier in the day and was headed towards Torquay. There have been a number of sightings, including calf sightings, from Cape Otway to Jan Juc in the past three weeks as they migrate to warmer northern waters for the winter.

WORK began in earnest on the redevelopment of Torquay Central last week with the demolition of Villa & Hut Kafe. Fences and barriers have been set up along the northern side of the shopping centre as heavy equipment was used to knock down or gut stores along Bristol Road. All of the stores on the western side have been vacated and will eventually make way for a single-storey Coles supermarket, which will take up about a third of the total site. The works will create a new 200 square metre retail tenancy next to the supermarket and a new 60 square metre retail tenancy at the western end of the existing stores. The amount of speciality retail floor space will be nearly halved, from 5,308 square metres to 2,976 square metres.

The redevelopment includes 280 car parks – 148 in a new basement car park, the 105 remaining inside the centre itself and 27 on Payne Street. Entry and exit to the basement car park will be through a ramp on the south side of the existing car park.

Coles bought the shopping centre in late 2012 for $14 million. The redevelopment is expected to be finished by mid-2015.

Construction equipment sits in the space once occupied by Villa & Hut Kafe at Torquay Central.

Innovative funding investigated LOCAL business, agriculture, tourism, community and volunteer group representatives are working with the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) investigating an innovative funding approach for regional environment projects. The Corangamite CMA engaged philanthropic funding expert Doug Humann to host an information sharing workshop to identify philanthropic and corporate investment opportunities for natural resource management (NRM) projects. Mr Humann has more than 20 years experience in NRM, including raising investment funds, and the workshop is the first step in the authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-month initiative to increase corporate and philanthropic investment in local NRM projects. Mr Humann said there was a big job to do to ensure our land and water assets are managed for long term environmental stewardship, along with economic, social, community and health benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important that regional and rural communities understand and grasp the opportunities for co-investments and leverage of government funds for these purposes, particularly at a time when government funding cannot be guaranteed at its recent and current levels.â&#x20AC;? Workshop participants, including 20 community representatives, CMA board and staff members, identified potential investment opportunities and discussed the different government, philanthropy and industry motivations for investing. The group looked at different project types and how to raise funds for those projects. Corangamite CMA will host a second community workshop in August, for more information on the project or if you have an interest in investing in the region, its community and people, phone 5232 9100.

GREEN THE COAST COLUMN

Environmental forces to combine at forum NATURAL resource management (NRM) organisations and community conservation groups are invited to come together and discuss biodiversity projects and ideas at a one day forum this month. The forum, which is hosted by the Otway Community Conservation Network, will look at linking projects across the Otway region and opportunities for groups to partner in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green Armyâ&#x20AC;? assignments. Otway Community Conservation Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project facilitator Luke Hynes said the forum would look to explore the ways that existing and future projects can be linked or expanded across different groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This type of forum is crucial to the success of conserving our precious coastal environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Information and resource sharing is a vital component of biodiversity management, especially for community environmental groups who are often working with limited resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many environmental issues present crosstenure challenges and working together is the most effective way to face these challenges,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Hynes believes that noxious weeds are one of the most prevailing environmental issues that need consistent and urgent attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weed control is an issue that many groups and government agencies are working on and there is potential for a more unified response,â&#x20AC;? he said. Opportunities for Green Army projects to be undertaken in the region will also be a topic for discussion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The forum will investigate potential Green Army projects that community environment groups and agencies can partner in.â&#x20AC;? The Green Army Program is a grassroots environmental action program that fosters local environment and heritage conservation projects across Australia. The program offers opportunities for young Australians aged between 17 and 24 years to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation areas and explore careers in conservation management, while

participating in activities that produce positive outcomes for our environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that the green army will provide an enthusiastic labour force that will be able to assist community groups and government agencies in achieving their biodiversity goals.â&#x20AC;? The forum will take place on June 24 at the Colac Otwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Performing Arts and Cultural Centre, beginning at 9am. Groups and organisations wishing to take part can contact Luke Hynes on 0406 113 438 or occn@occn.org.au.

Sharks, rescues and broken bones all in a day’s job for Mia BY REBECCA LAUNER LIFEGUARD Mia Taitapanui says she loves the adrenaline rush she experiences during a rescue. The 15-year-old, who is a member of the Torquay Lifesaving Club, said everything always seemed to happen at once when she was on patrol. “We’ve had sharks, ocean rescues, spinals, heaps of gashes and broken bones and a few lost (and found) kids,” Mia said. “I love the adrenaline rush that kicks in during a rescue and I feel so lucky that I can be involved.” Mia, who is a senior first aid officer and has been a member of the club since she started in the Under 9 nippers, won a Young Volunteer award last year for her dedication to the job. “I cut myself off from the world and dedicated myself to patrolling,” Mia said. “I was nominated by the club after completing my 100 hours certificate. “I was a little shocked as it’s not like I’m someone special, I was just doing what I love.” The Belmont High School student has shared her story to promote the Rotary Club of Highton Kardinia’s Volunteers of the Year Awards. The awards are held each year for those volunteering in the Geelong, Surf Coast, Golden Plains and Queenscliffe local government areas. Award categories include community volunteer, young volunteer, healthcare volunteer, emergency volunteer and environmental volunteer. Mia said people didn’t have to nominate the most

TWO people were taken to hospital after a crash between a car and a tip truck on the Surf Coast Highway last week. The car and truck collided at the west side of the intersection of the highway and Messmate Road on Thursday at about 1.25pm. Police said the truck, which was travelling along Messmate Road, failed to give way at the Surf Coast Highway and entered the intersection, where it struck the car. Rural Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said a woman in her 60s complained of pain in her neck, chest and ribs, while a man in his 40s complained of chest and knee pain. They were both transported by ambulance to Geelong Hospital in a stable condition. The car and the truck were towed from the scene of the accident.

MARGARET CARTLEDGE

COMMUNITY PROFILE What a great Queens Birthday long weekend in Lorne with thousands of visitors descending on our town to officially say good-bye to autumn and herald the start of winter. But I must say that if the weekend’s weather is an indication of what winter is going to be like, then I say “bring it on”. A fantastic weekend for all with many activities from local footy, markets, fishing competitions, festival launches, model boat regattas and golf tournaments. If you were not lucky enough to be down here at the weekend, make sure you chalk it into next year’s diary as a “must do” weekend with something for everyone. This week I am taking the unusual step of pleading for your help. You’ve all heard the talk that we need a stronger permanent population in town. We currently have the ability to add 5 to this number, if we can find a property to permanently accommodate an accountant who works in Lorne, and his family, including 3 kids wanting to attend our school. I welcome the chance to pass their details onto anyone who can assist. On another local matter our Hospital is to be congratulated on their “Geelong Bus” initiative where I an informed that they are in the process of putting together a service for our elderly and others in need of a once a month courtesy service into Geelong for specialist medical and other services not currently available in Lorne. To be driven by one of their committed volunteers, we are lucky to have the proactive team at the hospital thinking outside of the square in continuing to make Lorne a better place to live. We witnessed an unusual incident at the local foreshore market at the weekend when our local constabulary pounced on some illegal traders selling what appeared to be copied DVD’s and associated products. I say well done to the person involved in bringing the issue to the attention of our police, but it does however pose a couple of on-going issues for our town. I preface what I say by not begrudging any of our local groups who run the markets, for their initiative and hard work is a major source of fundraising within our local community. But I believe this issue at the weekend, and a raft of other concerns, has highlighted the need for us all to work together to create a set of guidelines that are in the best interests of Lorne as whole. There have been several comments from many community members about these ongoing concerns and the timing is right to for us all to work collaboratively to achieve the most equitable outcome for all involved, while at the same time preserving the fund-raising opportunities.

Aged Care Reform – What does this mean and how will it affect the Lorne Community Hospital? Kate Gillan, CEO, Lorne Community Hospital explains: We are just starting to see the introduction of the Aged Care Reform (otherwise known as Living longer, Living better) and to have an understanding of the way in which it will affect the Lorne Community Hospital service. The reform aims to provide greater choice and control for consumers, provide for more substantial and modernised ﬁnancing arrangements and provide an improved system for the industry to grow to meet the demand. By 2050, as the population ages, over 3.5 million Australians are expected to use aged care services each year. Older people increasingly want to receive care in their home, while having the knowledge that Residential Care is available and affordable if they require it. In order to respond to this need, the reforms provide an increase in funding and system support for the older person in their own home. This home care utilises the same funding formula as Residential Care for ease of movement across the sector. From July 1st 2014, Residential Care will no longer be known as low and high or hostel and nursing home. The general term to be used is Residential Care. The fees are similar to what they have been before, everybody will pay a basic daily fee (85% of aged pension) and other means tested fees may apply including a portion of your care fee and an accommodation payment. There is a focus in the reforms on greater community choice in how the fees are paid – periodic (like rental) as has been the case previously or lump sum or combination of lump sum and rental.

There is a means tested system so that those who can afford to contribute do so in a consistent way. There is greater transparency around fees so that the consumer can compare facilities and take comfort that the fee is based on the true cost. What will change at LCH? The Commonwealth Government sets the same system for all aged care services whether public or private so all the reforms will affect us. One of the early changes is that facilities have to publish their maximum accommodation fee. Previously this has been set by Government for us. The fees must be described in 3 ways – as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or as a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) otherwise known as a bond or rental. The fees can also be paid as a combination of both. LCH will set the accommodation fees in line with other small rural services, using the previous accommodation fees as a guide and ensuring the fees consider the value of the property. All fees can be negotiated and scheduled to provide for choice and control for the resident and family. It’s very important that the community understand the changes and have the opportunity to ask questions. In order to facilitate this, there will be two community information sessions at the Hospital on Thursday 26 June, 2014 at 10.30am and Monday 30 June, 2014 at 3.30pm. Individual or group sessions can also be offered on request by phoning LCH Administration on 52894386. We look forward to seeing you all.

Margaret’s career in nursing included twenty years as residential school nurse at Geelong College. ….. no surprise ex-students occasionally pop up in Lorne. However, her first job was at the Colac Hospital before going overseas to live and work in Scotland and England for two years. After her midwifery training, she worked at the Lorne hospital delivering babies. There’s another Lorne connection too ..... she has fond memories of training under Peggy Taylor at The Mercy Special Care Nursery. Since 1970 when Margaret’s family bought a house in Lorne, she has spent every holiday here. Now retired and a permanent resident, her life is community based. She is a member of the Community Liaison Advisory Group at Lorne Community Hospital. As a member of The Lions Club she convened this year’s highly successful annual Easter Art Show. Margaret has a reputation for quiet competence and efficiency and is regularly approached when local retailers find they are in need of extra help. Her new found passion is golf and with that comes an ambition to reduce her handicap. She is a member of the Book Club, enjoys walking and driving to Melbourne to visit her daughter. Recently she has spent more time overseas in Europe and New York and took time to celebrate a significant birthday in France. “I feel privileged to live in Lorne and its beautiful surrounds.“ CW

Corangamiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incumbent MP, Sarah Henderson, said Mr McArthur had an eminent career representing the people of the electorate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr McArthur is a deserving recipient of this award, after making a significant contribution to public life.â&#x20AC;?

Putting energy, money into business efficiency BY JAMES TAYLOR NEARLY $100,000 in state government funds has been granted to the Geelong Chamber of Commerce and Geelong Manufacturing Council so businesses in the region can become more energy and material efficient around the workplace. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos announced the respective $50,000 and $49,600 Building Business Capability grants late last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Building Business Capability program provides training and site visits to small and medium enterprises so that they have the information needed to run their operations in a more environmentally friendly way,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These organisations are one of eight Victorian businesses that have received grants in this round of funding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than $390,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the Coalition government that gives local businesses the skills and know-how they need to remain competitive.â&#x20AC;? Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith said the Building Business Capability program would assist more than 700 businesses from a range of industry sectors throughout Victoria including manufacturing agriculture, hospitality and retail, positioning them for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Businesses will be able to take part in specialised training, skills development, site visits and one-on-one mentoring to see how they can make better use of their current resources and reduce operating costs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This funding forms part of the Coalition governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $14 million Smarter Resources Smarter Business program, which helps Victorian businesses reduce costs and environmental impacts by using resources more efficiently.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Smarter Resources Smarter Business program establishes businesses as leaders in resource efficiency, and further embeds sustainable practices in routine business operations ensuring not only benefits to the environment but investment

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Clip Of The Season competition is back and is bigger than ever this year. With the support of health insurance provider HIF, the competition window began at the start of the month and runs through the winter period until August 31. The competition provides local surfers and filmers an opportunity to showcase their skills for the chance to win $1,000 cash. All you have to do is submit a clip of a wave ridden in Victorian waters during the competition window, at the completion of the entry period, a panel of experts will select 10 rides to then be voted on by the public via a Facebook voting app. HIF Clip Of The Season is open to all disciplines of the sport, including bodyboard, SUP, longboard, kneeboard and shortboard and all levels of ability. Waves will be judged on skill, difficulty and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowâ&#x20AC;? factor. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning ride was a long backside tube to re-entry combination performed by Harry Mann and filmed by Jackson Wylie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Clip Of The Season competition was awesome,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jacko and I were hunting a clip to submit for ages - when I rode that wave I knew we had a solid submission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great to win the cash, Jacko and I spend so much time in the water surfing and on land filming, it was great to be rewarded financially for doing what we love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to chase a clip for the $1,000 this season!â&#x20AC;?

Businesses urged to join Geelong Jobs Fair BY JAMES TAYLOR MAJOR sponsors of this month’s Geelong Jobs Fair recently gathered at the new Coles superstore in Waurn Ponds to encourage other businesses to register. More than 50 organisations have stepped up to take part in the Geelong Jobs Fair, which will take place at Deakin University’s Waterfront campus on June 20-21. The fair is funded by the federal government, and Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said more than 50 businesses had already agreed to take part. “But we want the Geelong Jobs Fair to present the widest range of opportunities, which is why it’s so important for employers to register and take part. “There are hundreds of new jobs being created at places like the Epworth Hospital, Cotton On and Barwon Health, and we need to make sure local residents know what’s out there.” Bay FM/K-Rock general manager Andy Mathers said the more businesses and people that got involved with the jobs fair, the greater the momentum it would generate. “We are particularly keen for more manufacturers to take part. “Our region has a wide range of skills and we need to make sure that we tap into the very best our city has to offer.” City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Bruce Harwood said that the superstore’s opening had generated 500 jobs and was a great reflection of the scale of investment taking place in the region.

RE LY A D N FRIE E R U FUT

Deakin University’s Lucinda Rodrigue, Coles regional manager Jackie Dalrymple, Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson and Cr Bruce Harwood want businesses to weigh in to the Geelong Jobs Fair.

“Every additional person who gets involved will bring their own unique and valuable network of contacts that could open more doors and deliver more jobs.” Lucinda Rodrigue from Deakin University’s Jobshop said as Geelong was a strong university town, understanding the job opportunities for young people such as Deakin

graduates was very important. Coles regional manager Jackie Dalrymple said the supermarket chain was delighted to support the fair. “We see the Geelong region as having great potential for growth.” For more information on the Geelong Jobs Fair, head to jobsforgeelong.com.au.

Breakfast program feeds kids and their desire to learn A SCHOOL breakfast program at St Leonards is in need of volunteers so it can continue to help hungry students focus and learn. St Leonards Primary School is working with Bellarine Community Health to provide a free breakfast to students each Tuesday morning in the hope it will keep them full and healthy. BCH Healthy Communities Planner Lauren Purser said the program kicked off in 2013 when St Leonards PS approached BCH after identifying kids were coming to school without breakfast. “On the day of the survey, 80 students were questioned; with 46 saying they were hungry and 34 said they hadn’t eaten any breakfast,” Ms Purser said. “There are many reasons why children may come to school without breakfast, this could include time pressures in the morning, fussy eaters at breakfast, running low on breakfast foods, sleeping late and sometimes breakfast isn’t a part of the family routine.” Ms Purser said teachers approached BCH because they had noticed when a child was hungry it affected their ability to concentrate and learn. Kelogg’s donates cereal to the program, BCH has donated $125 to buy milk and juice, while the school purchases the bread. Ms Purser said the program needed two volunteers who could donate their time between 8.15am and 9am. To help, contact Ms Purser on 5259 2537 or email lauren.purser@bch.org.au.

Community invited to BCH forum BELLARINE Community Health has announced plans for a free community forum about changes to aged care and the National Disability Insurance Agency on Wednesday June 25 in Portarlington. Bellarine Community Health (BCH) chief executive officer John Fendyk has organised the National Aged Care Reform: How will it impact you and your family? Forum. “Currently there are major reforms coming into effect in aged care and disability across Australia. These reforms may impact on individuals, their family’s care and services in the future,” Mr Fendyk said. “To help the local community understand the reforms and make wise decisions for themselves and their families in the future, we have brought together a range of experts in the aged care and disability sectors.” Mr Fendyk said speakers will include Denise Mitchell, executive manager, Residential Services and Consultancy with LASA (Leading Age Services Australia); Martin Jones, business development manager/training facilitator, IPAC Securities Limited, who will discuss the financial implications of the Aged Care reform; and Ms Alexandra Gunning, director, engagement and funding Barwon launch, National Disability Insurance Agency. “This is a great opportunity for the local community to understand the implications of the aged care and disability reform and what impact it might have on them. In addition, BCH is pleased to host the forum at no cost to attendees,” Mr Fendyk said. The forum will run from 1pm to 4.30pm on Wednesday June 25 at Parks Hall, Newcombe Street, Portarlington. Tickets are free. Registration is required, by calling BCH on 5258 0832 or emailing eas@bch.org.au.

Henderson wants regional mail protected from cuts BY JAMES TAYLOR CORANGAMITE federal member Sarah Henderson says Australia Post must deliver a “firstrate postal service” to regional Australia despite the organisation’s plans to cut 900 jobs and potentially deliver mail less often. Yesterday, a statement by Australia Post confirmed the mail carrier planned to cut the “managerial, administrative and support roles” over the next 12 months, with most of the losses to come from the Melbourne head office. “While the impact in other states and centres will be small, details are still to be worked through. “Employees working in Australia Post’s customer-facing roles, for example posties and retail stores, will not be impacted.” There are also reports that Australia Post may reduce its standard mail delivery to only two or three days a week. Ms Henderson said she was very concerned that country services would be unfairly targeted in any changes. “I want to make it very clear that Australia Post should not unfairly target rural and regional services during this process. “The fast and timely delivery of mail is a vital service, especially for people in rural and regional areas such as in Corangamite.” Ms Henderson said she had previously spoken in Parliament about how Australia Post’s plans to cut back next-day local mail delivery across regional Victoria would be in breach of Australia Post’s mandated Community Service Obligations.

“I am pleased that Australia Post subsequently retained next day local delivery, recognising the importance of postal services to country people. “While I appreciate Australia Post is facing financial pressures with its letters business, it must continue to ensure it delivers a first rate postal

service to regional Australia.” The Australia Post cuts come at an unfortunate time for Ms Henderson, as she was scheduled last night to host a community meeting with Teesdale residents about the town’s lack of a roadside mail delivery service.

Sarah Henderson has been vocal in her campaign for better mail services in Torquay – she is seen here with Torquay post office manager Gianna Toffolon at the opening of the town’s Australia Post superstore. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

GCIED funding is just what the doctor ordered

Students step up to the challenge of science and engineering

BY JAMES TAYLOR THE federal government has injected nearly half the cost of the planning and construction of the $6 million Geelong Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases (GCEID) research hub through its Community Development Grants Programme. Project partners toured the GCEID site, located at the Geelong Hospital, last week. As well as the $3 million announced by Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson, Deakin University will invest $2 million, Barwon Health will contribute $1 million, and the City of Greater Geelong (COGG) will contribute $100,000 and in-kind support. Construction is expected to be complete by the end of August 2015. Ms Henderson said GCEID would co-locate multidisciplinary teams to work on the many challenges of emerging infectious diseases. “They will adopt world’s best practice in their research on the movement of diseases between wildlife, livestock and human populations. “Initiatives will include targeting the health of staff in high-risk occupations such as abattoir

workers, stock transporters and hide processors, and their research could go so far as saving lives in the event of a pandemic. “Importantly, construction of the centre will create more than 100 jobs during construction and another 30 permanent jobs in the longer term, providing a significant boost to the local economy in Geelong. “The project is an example of collaboration between government and private sector to deliver broad benefits to the community as well as the country.” COGG acting mayor Bruce Harwood – who holds the council’s Enterprise Geelong portfolio – said the centre was a project

of national significance. “GCEID will give Geelong a role at national level in the protection of human health and economic security. “It has been a privilege to be the funding applicant on behalf of our partners for a project that will have local, regional and national benefit. “One of the ongoing roles for Enterprise Geelong will be to assist in the commercialisation of the research that takes place at GCEID. “There is potential for biotech companies to take vaccines and therapeutics to market, with flow on potential for a local ‘supply chain’ industry.”

YEAR 10 students throughout the Surf Coast, the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong got a taste of what it’s like to be a scientist or engineer when they tried their hands at building bridges, railway networks and hovercrafts at Deakin University last week. The students participated in the 2014 Science and Engineering Challenge at Deakin’s Waurn Ponds campus on Thursday and Friday. Deakin University’s head of the School of Engineering, Professor Guy Littlefair, said the challenge would give the students insight into the varied and practical elements of a career in the science and engineering industries, allowing them opportunity to take part in activities that encourage team work, innovation, problem solving and creativity. “The two-day challenge is designed to inspire Year 10 students to study science, engineering and technology at Years 11 and 12.” The challenge is a national outreach program coordinated by the University of Newcastle with local support from East Geelong’s Rotary Club and the Victorian Regional Channels Authority. The Geelong region schools will have two winning teams, one from Thursday and one from Friday, who will go on to take part in the state final ‘SuperChallenge’, to be held at Deakin’s Warrnambool campus in August. “The challenge offers a valuable opportunity for students to experience aspects of science, engineering and technology which they may not usually experience in their local school environment,” Prof Littlefair said. “In future, when some of our most critical scientific challenges are being surmounted, it will be pleasing to wonder if the solutions are being advanced by professionals whose first foray into science, technology and engineering was supported by the challenge.”

Savings on water bills to start in July

Open Men’s SUP Surfing Champion Matt Tackle in action in Ocean Grove. Photo: LIAM ROBERTSON

Tackle stands up with unbroken grip on crown Leon Blanchos, from Rye in fourth. The Open Women’s Division saw another Jan Juc surfer, veteran Emma Webb, take the win over young up-and-comer Kristiana Page from Barwon Heads. Using her experience Webb was able to score a 7.50 and 5.50 to take out her younger opponent. The future generation of SUP Surfing was also on display with Kenta Fergusson, also from Jan Juc, taking down Melbourne’s James Carew (Melbourne) in the juniors final. Fergusson showed that he was a star in the making winning the final convincingly in the small waves. The technical races were run on Saturday and involved a series of technical elements, which

required the paddlers to weave in and out of the shore break in a four kilometre course. Harry Lee finished ahead of the pack taking out the overall placing and the Open Men’s Division in 37.35 minutes. The Marathon Race was run on Sunday with Melbourne’s Heath Meldrum taking out the Open Men’s Division over close rival, Harry Lee. Meldrum finished with a time of 1:04:58 over Lee’s 1:10:28. The race was a looped circuit through the Barwon River in Barwon Heads. Emma Webb was the highest placed Open Women racer. Full results and times can be found online at surfingvic.com.

FOURTEEN champions were crowned on the weekend at the HIF Victorian SUP Titles held at Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads. Bringing the cream of Victorian SUP riding together for one massive weekend, the SUP Surfing and Technical Races were run in clean conditions on the Saturday at Ocean Grove with the marathon run on Sunday in the Barwon River. Two-time and reigning champion Matt Tackle, from Jan Juc, took out the Open Men’s SUP Surfing division over former event champion Matt Lumley (Melbourne). In the small clean waves, Tackle showed extreme control of the conditions nailing a heat total of 14.24 over Matt Lumley’s 11.73. Jan Juc’s Harry Lee finished in third place with

BARWON Water customers will receive an average of $80 off their water bills each year for the next four years through the state government’s Fairer Water Bills initiative. Last month, Minister for Water Peter Walsh announced the bill reductions would be delivered to Barwon Water customers from the start of next month. The water bill reductions will be delivered as: • $50 off the first water bills from July 1 • $80 off the first from July 1, 2015 • $90 from July 1, 2016, and • $100 from July 1, 2017. Mr Walsh said the state government had asked water corporations to provide advice on potential productivity and efficiency gains that could be adopted by their businesses to help deliver lower household water bills. “Barwon Water has identified capital and operational cost savings without any compromise to service standards or existing hardship protections that assist vulnerable customers. “This includes innovative technology for operations and maintenance, better scheduling construction of water feeder mains, more effectively targeting expenditure on communication activities and deferring capital expenditure on new infrastructure due to improved water efficiency. Barwon Water deputy chair Jodi Heath said the corporation had been working closely with the state government on identifying further savings for customers. “The Fairer Water Bills initiative will result in reductions in household bills and ease cost of living pressure on families. This is a significant announcement and is consistent with the Board’s customer affordability objective to keep prices down over the next four years.”

Nominate for National Disability Awards

Great work in disability sector recognised Rosemary White, Meg Stewart-Snoad, Sally Maes, Maria Zaluski, Parliamentary Secretary for Families and Community Services Andrea Coote, Kelly Clifford, Jon Presser, Kate Morrissy, Maree Nicholls, National Disability Services Victorian state manager James O’Brien, Simone Stevens and Department of Human Services secretary Gill Callister at the awards.

BY JAMES TAYLOR PROJECTS and people from across the Geelong region have been commended for their good work in this year’s Victorian Disability Sector Awards. The awards – which recognise individuals, teams, disability service providers and businesses that make a significant contribution to supporting people with a disability – are a joint initiative between the state government and National Disability Services, and were presented last week. The Committee for Geelong’s (CfG) Inclusion, Integration and Empowerment Project team received the top award in the Excellence in Improving Learning and Development Outcomes category. CfG chief executive officer Rebecca Casson said

the collaborative project involved working with the local area committee of the (VALID) Having a Say Conference to develop their leadership strength and build skills critical to the success of the conference, held in Geelong in March. G21’s Belonging and Connecting social media audio-visual project was highly commended in the Excellence in Improving Participation category. G21 acting chief executive officer Fiona Reidy said the project, developed by the G21 Inclusion Partnership, featured nine young people with disabilities from the G21 region in a series of video vignettes. “The aim is to motivate other people with disabilities to connect and participate in their communities.” The LEAD Barwon project team was a finalist

in the same category. Geelong resident Elizabeth “Liz” Spurdle was highly commended for the Lifetime Achievement Award. Ms Spurdle has been the receptionist/admin assistant at Encompass Community Services for nearly 15 years, and is also a member of the City of Greater Geelong’s Disability Advisory Committee. She said she had to get involved if she felt “someone was being treated unfairly”. “I know there are options and there is always a way around things. All I want is to give people a voice and provide people with the encouragement and support needed to reach their goal.” For a list of all the award winners, head to dhs.vic.gov.au/disabilitysectorawards.

NOMINATIONS for the 2014 National Disability Awards are now open, giving Australians the chance to celebrate the individuals and organisations that are having a positive impact on the lives of people with disability. Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said the awards recognised people across a wide range of sectors who were working to provide opportunities for economic and social participation for people with disability. Nominations close on July 18. An awards ceremony will be held in Canberra later this year. “With the Barwon trial of the National Disability Insurance Scheme now assisting some 2,700 people across our region, there are many extraordinary people working in the sector,” Ms Henderson said. There are eight categories: • Lesley Hall Award for Lifetime Achievement in Disability • Emerging Leaders Award in Disability • Improving Inclusive and Accessible Communities Award • Improving Advocacy and Rights Promotion Award • Improving Employment Opportunities Award • Improving Personal and Community Support Award • Improving Education Outcomes Award • Improving Health and Wellbeing Outcomes Award To nominate for the awards, head to idpwd.com.au or phone 1800 672 682.

Queenscliffe electric waste collection success RESIDENTS across Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff came out in droves recently to drop off their electronic waste in a safe and environmentally friendly way. An estimated 8,520 kilograms of electronic and electrical items were collected during Queenscliffe council’s free e-waste drop off held on May 24. A total of 196 cars passed through the temporary drop-off facility at Ocean View Car Park in Queenscliff with 46 per cent of people using the service for the first time. Borough of Queenscliffe mayor Helene Cameron said she was pleased with the public support for the event to help keep e-waste out of landfill. “E-waste is produced at up to three times that of normal household waste production so it is wonderful to see so many local residents taking advantage of this free collection service.” An estimated seven tonnes of televisions and computer equipment was received and will be recycled by Sims E-Recycling in Melbourne with a 95 per cent recovery rate. Smaller e-waste items such as kitchen appliances,

mobile phones, radios and power tools accounted for 1,520 kilograms and will be recycled through Geelong Disabled People’s Industries (GDP). Staff from GDP will deconstruct the e-waste into components including plastics, glass, metals, wiring and circuit boards which are then sent to various recovery facilities for reuse or to be made into new products. The reuse of these materials reduces the use of the natural resources. Recycling metals, glass and plastics in electronic goods reduces the amount of water and energy used in the manufacturing process. “Council provides a number of recycling programs in order to reduce the amount of recyclables going into landfill,” Cr Cameron said. “This is just one more thing that the Borough of Queenscliffe residents are doing to sustain and safeguard our uniquely beautiful environment.” The recycling and waste pages on the borough’s website have all the details and tips on how you can recycle within your home.

High tea to give hope to children BY TIFFANY PILCHER

Last year’s Salvation Army High Tea Fundraiser was a huge success and organisers are hoping to build on their efforts at this year’s event to be held on Tuesday.

THE Torquay Salvation Army is inviting the community to come along to their High Tea Fundraiser on Tuesday to support the Aruna Children’s Shelter in Mumbai. It is estimated there are more than 9,000 young women and girls working as prostitutes in the red light district of Mumbai, and many of the young women have children who are left alone while their mothers work. The Salvation Army Aruna Children’s Shelter provides these children with a safe shelter, three meals a day, education, life skills development and regular medical checkups and support. The shelter also assists the mothers to move away from their work as prostitutes through skills training. Last year’s Torquay high tea raised $2,100 and

Salvation Army Captain Catherine Abram said they are hoping to build on that again this year. “We may not always have extra money lying around but there are so many other ways to help. “Last year we had people donate children’s tutus, furniture, lemon butter and all sorts of things. “Items like this can be donated to our trading table or sold at the high tea to help out.” The High Tea Fundraiser will be at the Torquay Salvos, 35 Boston Road on Tuesday June 17 from 7.30pm to 9pm, tickets are $20. High tea will be served, there will be guest speakers as well as the trading table and stalls. Homegrown or homemade goods will be accepted prior to, or on the night for sale and all proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the Aruna Children’s Shelter project. Pre-booking tickets is recommended, to book, call 5261 5675.

Boating Sunday offers a model to follow MORE than 250 people gathered on Sunday to watch Love Lorne’s third annual Swing Bridge Model Boat Regatta. The event provided a great opportunity for young and old alike to enjoy the stunning outdoor setting by the Swing Bridge over the Erskine River estuary at Lorne. The Under 12 sail division proved the most popular category with the Open Class event also attracting a strong field of competitors. With the sun shining, the most challenging aspect of the day was the icy cold river water, however, competitors overcame adversity and managed to sail their boats within the mapped course. Open division defending champion Dan Riordan was challenged by the competitive entry of

Professor John Agar from Geelong who outclassed the category with both his sail boat Pride of the Fleet and his motored boat America taking out the division with a convincing win. At the race conclusion, presentations were made at the Swing Bridge with prizes donated by local businesses Precious Creatures, Club Lorne, Cuda Bar and Wild on the Beach. Winners of the categories included: Sail

Category Under 12, James Whitehead; Motor Category Under 12, Oscar Roydhouse; Sail Category Open, John Agar; and Motor Category Open, John Agar. Love Lorne thanked the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee for the support and use of the river. For more information and upcoming events in Lorne, visit lovelorne.com.

Lorne Swing Bridge Café is back on the boil BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Lorne Swing Bridge Café reopened last week with fresh, local and organic produce, cold pressed juices, top notch coffee and “super foods” featuring on its menu. New operator Jorge Guerrero said while the well-loved eatery would offer classic beachside fare such as BLTs, egg and bacon rolls and icecream, the menu would also feature super grains, natural sweeteners, gluten free options and more. He said he was excited to open in time for Sunday’s Lorne Model Boat Regatta, and couldn’t wait to welcome everyone to try the delicious and exciting new menu. “We will be milling our own flour and looking to use fresh, local and organic produce wherever possible including free range, organic eggs, and local organic Zeally Bay bread. “We are also catering for those who want delicious, healthy options such as juice from our new cold pressed lab, and freshly-made, hearty soups.” The café on the south side of the bridge will be serving the award-winning St Ali coffee single origin roasts and house orthodox blend. “Not only are we brewing the best coffee available, we will be using the best milk available too – “Demeter” – biodynamic, unhomogenised jersey milk,” Mr Guerrero said. The café’s iconic paddle boats have also been restored. “Mum and dad can relax and sip their coffee in the warmth of the café while the kids enjoy the boats,” Mr Guerrero said. “The entire menu is available for takeaway, however, new, radiant heating has been installed and the café will also be a cosy spot for eating in all year round.” The café will open early seven days a week.

Combining view points

The power of elections

Dear Editor,

It was interesting to read the letters from Melva Stott and Lynne Batson (“Alternative air quality points” and “Support for closure statistically valid” respectively, Letters, June 5) in regard to the Alcoa Mine in last week’s paper. Perhaps it is time to combine the two viewpoints. Yes, there are a number of healthy, active 80- and 90-year-olds in the town and yes, we have a coal mine. There is a statistically valid group of people who have lived in the town for the whole of their lives or the whole of the life of the mine. With modern technology and computer records, it should be possible to produce statistics that either show, or do not show, negative effects from living with this particular coal mine. The environmental and economic reasons for closure have been well stated. To argue from a health perspective should require at least some documented proof.

The US is now moving to curb the emissions of coal-fired power stations, while in Victoria, Anglesea’s dirty, aging coal mine and power plant is re-licenced to provide power to an already saturated market. Last year, the mine produced about one million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Now is the opportunity for the Abbott government to show it is serious about its Direct Action plan by making the closure of this facility a priority. Surf Coast Air Action calls on the Napthine and Abbott governments to close this now redundant and dangerous plant. Figures also released recently by the National Pollution Inventory for 2012-2013 show that the Anglesea facility continues to spew out three times as much sulphur dioxide (SO2) as the notorious Hazelwood power plant. That is a staggering 39 million kilograms of a recognised serious respiratory irritant and it is being discharged in close proximity to homes, a primary school and an aged care facility. Worse still, the figure has actually increased since 2010-2011 by 4 million kilograms of SO2. The coal mine abuts the state electorate of South Barwon and winds swirl the pollutants along the Surf Coast and Bellarine. Voters are rightly asking what this government is doing to protect their health. With the state election on a knife edge, the Napthine government could have a fighting chance at retaining the marginal seat of South Barwon by shutting it down.

Impacts of power station closure Dear Editor, Surf Coast Air Action (SCAA) would like us all to believe that 80 employees will not lose their jobs and their livelihood if the Anglesea Power Station closes. They think that posting a photo on Facebook of the staff car park can demonstrate that 80 people are not employed there. What should we do, line up against a wall so you can count us? It’s a fact that hundreds of jobs from local businesses, charities and sporting groups that are directly supported by the operation of the station will be impacted. The SCAA have questioned Alcoa’s transparency regarding staffing numbers, but perhaps we should question their ability to present the facts. Anglesea is a beautiful place to live. Your living environment could be far worse. Think about people who are living next to Shell. I wake up most mornings to the smell of petrochemicals in my backyard. To state the obvious, if you want to condemn a business for environmental reasons, then it is best to make sure you live by the principals that you preach. I personally don’t know anyone who doesn’t enjoy the conveniences that a modern society has to offer. Being a consumer does mean that businesses have to exist to produce the goods and services we are accustomed to using. Solar and wind generated power options are ideal, but they are not able to sustain power 24/7 and I know most people would not be happy with regular power outages or the higher cost of green energy. There are also members of the community who are against wind farms. The fact is, when it comes to producing power, everyone wants to consume it but you can’t please everyone with the way the service is delivered. Natalie Lara

Colac residents are already connected to Birregurra by a train service, however, the service is limited and trains can be very crowded. There is also a bus service connecting Colac to Lorne for six weeks during the summer period. This service is poorly advertised and makes use of an inappropriately large bus. My suggestion would be for a smaller bus being used for the trial at least. There would need to be community consultation prior to a daily schedule being confirmed, but there is no doubt the benefits for a public bus service between Colac and Lorne are numerous. For example: • shopping trips • medical appointments • taking children to sports training and matches • expanding the opportunities for our young people both in employment and social activities • tourists • saving on the ever growing cost of fuel If readers of this paper see the benefits of such a trial, I urge you to contact the Minister for Transport and Member for Polwarth Terry Mulder without delay, as there is only a limited amount of time before the funds set aside for public transport trials are used up. Juliet Beatty Deans Marsh

Years of commitment to Ocean Grove Park Dear Editor,

Regina Gleeson Anglesea

Why the silence? Dear Editor, In response to the letter from Kira Fitzpatrick regarding the sale of Ann Nichol House (“Any word on Ann Nichol?”, June 5). You asked for a statement from either Barwon Health of the state government regarding the sale of this community asset. The local gossip is that the sale was a done deal before it was ever made public – so, yes, why the silence? Judy Bracken Portarlington

Colac and Lorne bus service trial Dear Editor, A rare opportunity has arisen to lobby the state government for a trial daily bus service within the G21 Alliance’s Transport Pillar. This is described as: “A public transport trial service, which connects districts not usually serviced by public transport, should be extended and targeted to areas that don’t interconnect”.

I respond to Gail Macrae’s letter “Hoary old euphemism not good enough” (Letters, May 29). Our registration of members records Ms Macrae only joined the Ocean Grove Park Association recently, namely February 4, 2014. Her comments need to be considered in that light. While none of the 10 members of the Association’s Committee of Management attended the third public meeting on May 4, seven of the 10 attended the February 24 meeting prepared to make a full presentation regarding the performance space, with a full set of drawings, and to answer any questions. We were requested to only display a few drawings and, for one of our members (not the president) to speak very briefly to the displayed drawings. We were given very little opportunity to reply to questions from the floor whereas the questions listed towards the closing of the meeting could have been readily and promptly answered by committee members. The distinct impression was that such responses were not welcome as a further meeting would be called. We were verbally asked to attend the third meeting, to take the drawings a second time and also the “business plan” for the proposal. Given the restraints imposed upon us at the earlier meeting we considered we would be allowed little opportunity to communicate directly with those attending the May 4 meeting. The committee is not reluctant to keep its members informed, as annual reports, our website

Letters

and press releases demonstrate. As to the contents of estimates etc. – or as Ms Macrae refers to it the “hoary old euphemism” commercial-in-confidence – it is essential, as most people would be aware, they remain confidential until tenders have been called and awarded. The committee has been dedicated to the park being a place for the community. It is the committee that has successfully sought funds, via well prepared submissions, and conducted fundraising events for more than 15 years. Take a look at the park and you will see what the committee, with the support of long-standing volunteer members, has achieved. The park was a neglected paddock when we started. The main purposes for which the association was formed still remain: 1. To pursue the public ownership and development of the site... as a central park for Ocean Grove for passive recreation and community use. 2. To conserve environmental features of the site. We are unaware of Ms Macrae donating any funds or time to the park in the 15 years many others have. Apart from very recent new members, all members would be aware of the year 2000 Park Master Plan that includes a site for the performance space – a facility specifically designed for community use, with particular emphasis upon art and music activities that are passive recreation for

those who attend the performances or exhibitions by those currently having to leave Ocean Grove to perform or exhibit. Colin Atkins President, Ocean Grove Park Inc.

Giving animals a voice Dear Editor, Regarding Kelly Maynard’s letter “Animals under the big top” (Letters, June 5). I am responding to Ms Maynard who is representing Eroni’s Circus. And I congratulate the Surf Coast Shire for banning any circus that uses animals for entertainment. There are too many animals in the circus industry worldwide that are confined, abused, neglected, not given proper care and kept in chains. They suffer emotionally, physically, and mentally. In this day and age we do not need to use or promote the use of animals for entertainment, if we don’t learn to live without being entertained by the use of animals, no matter what species it is, the cruelty will never end. There are plenty of ways to entertain humans without using animals. Animals, like children, do not have a voice. We would not be allowed to enslave children to perform, so why exploit animals?

Professor Peter Singer wrote: “When children see animals in a circus, they learn that animals exist for our entertainment. Quite apart from the cruelty involved in training and confining these animals, the whole idea that we should enjoy the humiliating spectacle of an elephant or lion made to perform circus tricks show a lack of respect for the animals as individuals.” Even though Eroni’s Circus claims to be animal friendly, I believe they could move into modern day entertainment without the use of animals, such as many other circuses have here in Australia and overseas. Ms Maynard, if you truly care for animals, surely you wouldn’t want to keep promoting the use of animals as entertainment and lead by example? Jodie Oliver Torquay

Where does the Premier stand? Dear Editor, Don’t be fooled by the state government’s spin: Premier Denis Napthine wants the Renewable Energy Target weakened. The Napthine government puts jobs at risk by calling for the RET to be reduced and for polluting

gas power to be included in the scheme. While the Premier seems confused about renewable energy, Victorians understand the difference and want the Premier to support the 41 terrawatt-hour Renewable Energy Target. Wind energy is the cheapest new-build electricity source in Australia, and solar is getting cheaper each year. Gas, on the other hand, will get more expensive over time. Australia can leapfrog increasingly expensive fossil fuels by switching straight to renewables. The Napthine government’s support for gas means renewable energy jobs in Victoria are at risk. It undercut jobs in the Victorian renewable energy sector including 700 wind energy jobs in his electorate. Premier Napthine’s political manoeuvre on the Renewable Energy Target raises doubts over his government’s policy on coal-seam gas and fracking, which comes just one week after announcing a statewide ban on onshore gas exploration. The Premier’s statement preempts the outcome of community consultation on coal-seam gas. Victorian communities are declaring themselves gasfield free. The Premier’s backing for more gas power undermines his government’s commitment to go slow on fracking. Where does the Premier really stand? Leigh Ewbank Friends of the Earth Renewable energy coordinator

OPINION

Surf Coast gas field risks too great BY MARK OGGE MAKE no mistake, if a gas field is approved over the Surf Coast Shire it will industrialise the region. The economics of unconventional gas are pretty simple; once approval for a commercial gas field is granted, the company needs to extract as much gas as possible to maximise its return on investment. That typically means thousands, potentially tens of thousands of wells, as we see with coal seam gas in Queensland or shale and tight gas fields in the United States. Every one of those wells is connected with access roads and pipelines, interspersed with compressor stations, holding ponds for toxic water and other heavy industrial infrastructure. Will tourists to the region really want to visit a gas field?

But what happens under the ground is the really serious bit. Every shale or tight gas well needs to be hydraulically fractured (fracked), multiple times. Every time a well is fracked it requires between 11 and 30 million litres of water. That means up to 1,100 tanker truckloads per fracture. That’s serious truck traffic. And it’s not just water being trucked in. According to data released by the US gas industry, each fracture also needs between 80 and 330 tonnes of industrial chemicals. That’s up to about 30 tanker loads. These chemicals include neurotoxins, reproductive toxins and endocrine disruptors. And gas wells leak. There are hundreds of civil cases brought against fracking companies in the US for air and water pollution. Most are settled out of court with a gagging order, but recently $3 million was awarded to a Texas family for health impacts from nearby drilling. Last year, in New South Wales the gas company Metgasco drilled a tight gas well. It exploded, blowing the steel well casing 200

meters into the air. The subsequent inquiry found the well had been leaking the entire time. During the exploration stage, companies will talk about the dozen or so exploration wells and are careful not to draw attention to the hundreds or thousands of wells once it becomes a commercial gas field. But be assured that they are not there to explore just for the sake of it. The aim is to get a commercial gas field approved, and that means hundreds if not thousands of wells. An exploration company like Lakes Oil is highly unlikely to develop a commercial gas field themselves. Their business model is to prove the gas is there, get the approvals, and then sell onto an oil and gas major, like Esso or Santos, to develop the gas field. The economic benefits touted by the industry to justify these projects are often illusory. Most of the employment will be Drive In Drive Out or Fly In Fly Out workers who spend little money in the region. Workers employed locally will be mostly

drawn from other local business, forcing those businesses to compete with gas industry wages. Sadly, even the institutions we trust the most to give us reliable information on the risks of this industry have become reliant on gas industry funding. The CSIRO is a partner in the Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA) which is funded by two huge multinational gas export projects with a combined $35 billion dollar stake in coal seam gas in Queensland. We should be wary about claims that “new technology” and superior regulation will protect us. These types of claims have been made by the industry every step of the way through its development in both the US and Queensland. Will we risk the Surf Coast in another unconventional gas experiment? Mark Ogge is a researcher and public engagement officer at The Australia Institute – a Canberra-based think tank that conducts research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues.

stationery, (pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons), books and toothbrushes. Besides necessities, people can also donate something fun for the children: funky sunglasses, Frisbees, yo-yos, balloons and jump ropes; or stickers for the teachers to put on papers for a job well done. As recently as February, Fiji achieved universal primary education due to higher enrolment rates for both girls and boys. However, the sector remains under-resourced and the quality of schooling does not prepare children well for higher education, vocational

training and future employment. Many school buildings are falling into disrepair and maintenance is irregular. Fiji's Ministry of Education has reported increasing levels of illiteracy because more children are dropping out of primary and high school. Australia provides some aid by providing direct assistance to schools so all children can complete a full primary education. In partnership with UNICEF and locallybased non-government organisations, they are helping to refurbish Fiji's most disadvantaged schools.

This includes upgrading water and sanitation facilities and reconstructing schools damaged by cyclones and flooding. Donations can be made to the pink bucket in Caitlin’s classroom at Christian College Bellarine, 40 Collins Street, Drysdale by June 20. If you would like to hear what happens when Caitlin meets the children, include your name on a sticky note so she can contact you on her return to school.

Shire’s asylum seeker motion wins MAV support BY JAMES TAYLOR A CALL from Colac Otway Shire imploring the federal government to take a more humanitarian approach to asylum seekers has won support at a state meeting of Victoria’s councils. Colac Otway Shire joined forces with Yarra City to present a notice of motion regarding asylum seekers to the Municipal Association of Victoria’s (MAV) annual state council meeting. The decision, which attracted majority support at the meeting, means that Victoria’s councils will collectively call on the federal government to process the visa applications of asylum seekers living on bridging visas as soon as possible. The motion also asks that all applicants accepted as refugees have an opportunity to achieve permanent residency; and that the human, family reunion and work rights of asylum seekers are upheld. Shire mayor Lyn Russell said Colac Otway was pleased to work with Yarra City to put the motion forward.

“The City of Yarra submitted a motion similar to ours, so we worked together to combine the intent of both.” Cr Russell said Australia was built on the back of immigrants and refugees. “Many of the people arriving in our country are well educated, with professional backgrounds, trades or experience running businesses. “It makes no sense to legislate in an inhumane way against our new arrivals, and the success of this notice of motion demonstrates that Victoria wants to see a much more compassionate approach to asylum seekers.” As a result of the state council adopting the notice of motion, MAV will now be charged with lobbying the federal government and other political parties on asylum seeker issues on behalf of member councils. In other news from the MAV meeting, the council supported Moyne Shire’s notice of motion for a continued moratorium on coal seam gas exploration until more thorough community consultation and investigations can be made into the industry.

Caitlin Bell hopes to improve the lives of her fellow pupils in Fiji.

Volunteers mark bikes in Torquay BY JAMES TAYLOR TORQUAY Jan Juc Neighbourhood Watch and the Torquay Men’s Shed provided volunteers to carry out a bike marking service for a few hours last weekend. Local families were invited to bring their bikes and scooters to St Therese’s Catholic Primary School on Saturday, where identification numbers were engraved for free. Senior Constable Nikki Drever and Senior Constable Phil Grigg were on duty at the Torquay police station at the time, and attended the event to support the initiative. “Marking your belongings is generally a deterrent to thieves and also makes it easier for police to return stolen articles, like bikes, to their rightful owners,” Senior Constable Drever said. The next Neighbourhood Watch meeting will be held at the Torquay police station on June 23 at 7.30pm, and will feature Senior Constable Drever Vern Stott from the Torquay Men’s Shed marks a bike at St Therese Catholic Primary School as Senior Constable speaking about “The Role of Women in the Force”.

Be wise and reduce your energy costs this winter BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state government has launched its Winter Wise campaign to give the community the information they need to adopt simple tips that reduce energy use and reduce costs over the colder months. According to the state government, draughty homes are costing Victorian households up to $160 a year in additional energy costs. One of the biggest costs on winter energy bills in the home is heat escaping through gaps, with the biggest sources of heat loss from cracks around doors, and uncovered vents and windows. This cost can easily be reduced by putting in

place simple and cost-effective strategies such as using door snakes, gap sealant and curtains. Other Winter Wise tips include setting your heater’s thermostat between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius, and installing close-fitting curtains, blinds and pelmets to save up to $50 off your winter energy bill. Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith and Member for Western Victoria Simon Ramsay launched the Winter Wise campaign last week in Ballarat, one of Victoria’s coldest cities and with the oldest homes. “This is about giving families the information they need to use energy wisely and reduce the cost

of household bills,” Mr Smith said. “These are easy, cost-effective tips that all Victorian families can apply around the home.” He said the state government was focused on reducing people’s impact on the environment and, in so doing, addressing cost of living pressures. “The Winter Wise campaign builds on the Napthine government’s already substantial investment in practical energy efficiency programs and complements the Energy Saver Incentive scheme.” Victorians have been are encouraged to use the Door snakes are one way for people to cut their free Winter Wise online resources by heading to heating bills, according to the Winter Wise campaign. sustainability.vic.gov.au.

Amy Gillett Foundation welcomes new director

Medina briefly blinded in barrels but wins Fiji

BY JAMES TAYLOR

BY HAMISH BROOKS TAJ Burrow is the highest-ranked Australian surfer after the fifth stop of the 2014 Samsung Galaxy ASP World Championship Tour. Burrow bowed out of the event in round five last week, which was eventually won by Brazilian Gabriel Medina. A thrilling finals day saw Medina get the better of American Nat Young in the final to record his second tour event win of the season and return to number one in the world rankings, a position he held briefly after his first win of the year. In a hard-fought final, the Brazilian got out of the gates first while Young waited 10 minutes before posting a score. Medina posted a near-perfect 9.87 for a series of barrel sections and sizzling snaps to extend his lead. Young fought back but Medina’s additional 8.53 left the American in need of two high scores for the win. Young was unable to break the combination, cementing Medina’s fourth career ASP WCT victory with the final scores 18.40 to 14.77. “It’s great to be back at the top of the ratings,

it’s still early but I’m feeling good,” Medina said. “I’ve never surfed at Jeffreys Bay (the next stop on the world tour) before but I’m going home after this to prepare and I’ll be working hard. Nat is a great guy and that was a good final against him. “I was so nervous inside those barrels, I

couldn’t see anything, but when I came out I was stoked.” The next stop on the 2014 Samsung Galaxy ASP World Championship Tour is the J Bay Open from July 10-21. For more information, head to aspworldtour.com.

THE Amy Gillett Foundation (AGF) has welcomed the appointment of Anthony Griffin as a director of the board of the safe cycling charity. Mr Griffin is the chief executive officer of Saxo Capital Markets (Australia) and a long-time supporter of the AGF. “Whether for family fun, fitness, commuting or racing, cycling is a continuously growing community that seeks only a safe environment in which to ride,” he said. “Biking brings with it great benefits for our communities through shared experiences on the bike for our children and us through greater activity and therefore greater fitness. “Australia needs to be creating environments that encourage these community activities on bikes. “We know the benefits are vast, but does the safety aspect discourage other would be cyclist of all ages getting on bikes? “While accidents do and will happen through no fault of a cyclist or driver, most can be avoided through a shared responsibility whilst on the road and through continuous education of children and adults from the point of view of both cyclist and driver.” AGF chair Mark Textor said Mr Griffin would be a tremendous asset to the foundation as it sought to continue improving safety for bike riders across Australia. “Anthony shares a passion for cycling and, with his corporate experience and network, is passionate in advocating for improved safety for Australia’s cycling community. “Mr Griffin has been involved in AGF activities for some time now and most recently took part in Amy’s Share the Road Tour 2013, raising awareness of bike rider safety and generating vital funds that contribute to our work.” The Amy’s Gran Fondo cycling event, organised by the AGF, will begin in Lorne on September 14.

Stay smart online when you’re on the go BY JAMES TAYLOR PRIVACY Victoria’s Youth Advisory Group (YAG) has praised the message of Stay Smart Online Week (formerly National Cyber Security Awareness Week), which was marked last week. YAG member Megan Glyde said with the pace of life continually increasing and with more and more

young people having access to mobile devices from which they could shop, use social networking sites and work, the “On The Go” theme for this year’s Stay Smart Online Week was well chosen. The YAG has urged all Victorians, young and old, to make use of the Stay Smart Online resources. “There is an explosion in the use of mobile technologies, including smartphones, tablets and

applications,” Ms Glyde said. “These all give us efficient, easy and convenient online services, but using them can put your personal information at risk. “So it is important that all users – including children and young people – learn how to safeguard their personal information – and that of others – when interacting online.” Fellow YAG member Candice Jansz-Richardson said it was easy to believe that information shared on mobile devices was not publically accessible due to its personal “feel”. “It is precisely for this reason that a little extra vigilance is required to ensure often very personal data doesn’t suddenly become public.

“Stay Smart Online Week is a timely reminder that even mundane daily tasks performed ‘On The Go’ such as online banking, emailing and social media are not exempt from the risks that we automatically consider in the public sphere. “For example, we shield our PIN when using an ATM but may not be as careful when using our mobile devices.” The YAG recently released the “Keep Your Superhero Safe” information booklet that offers practical hints and tips to help young Victorians keep their personal information safe and secure, and advice on topics such as computers, the internet and the cloud, sexting, social media and online competitions. Download the booklet at privacy.vic.gov.au.

Stop crime on your phone through revamped website

Megan and Candice from the YAG show off the Keep Your Superhero Safe booklets.

THE Crime Stoppers Victoria website has been revamped to make it easier for community members to report crimes. The new website was launched last week and links with mobile phone applications and social media platforms to enable the community, particularly young people, to report crime-related information more easily. Minister for Crime Prevention Edward O’Donohue said the new smartphone apps would make it easier to report crime online, or to call for emergency assistance. “People can now upload photographs directly to Crime Stoppers from their mobile devices.” Crime Stoppers Victoria received $200,000 from the state government’s Community Crime Prevention Program to upgrade the website and reporting technology. Mr O’Donohue said the redesign of the website would encourage more people to report crime. He siad it also offered support across a range of languages for people from culturally and

linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. “The new website features Crime Stoppers information in 10 languages, as well as information on how to make a report in a language other than English. “It gives all members of the community a variety of options to report crime in a way that is comfortable and empowers members of the community.” Mr O’Donohue said the Community Crime Prevention Program helped local community groups to deter crime and improve community safety. Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive officer Sam Hunter said the initiative gave the public a range of ways to report crime. “We’re looking forward to adopting these new technologies and engaging with new media to help people to say something, wherever they are and whenever they see something.” To see the new website, head to crimestoppersvic.com.au.

SupaTramp prepares to spring into Grovedale BY JAMES TAYLOR

A planned activity complex will create 3,500 square metres of trampoline and adventure activities.

AUSTRALIA’S largest custom-built indoor mega trampoline and activity complex is scheduled to open in Grovedale this summer. Catering for all ages and fitness levels, SupaTramp’s 3,500 square metres of space will specialise in all types of adrenalin-rush activities while still creating a healthy, safe and fun space for children and adults of all ages. Local business partners David Schwarz and Neville Wright say they are determined to create a state of the art complex that promises to be much more than just a trampoline park. “We are aiming to provide the latest and greatest in trampoline and adventure activities that will provide hours of healthy and active entertainment for all ages,” Mr Wright said. “The key to a healthy lifestyle is finding an enjoyable activity that keeps both kids and adults coming back for more.” While offering more than 140 open jump areas – with highlights such as half pipe, dodge ball and

many other elements yet to be seen in Australia – there are numerous other inclusions to this venue that will set a new benchmark for the industry. The climbing centre in Torquay Road will provide the latest in climb technology and laser tag (including laser tag for toddlers) has been designed using the latest technology. In addition, fitness devotees can burn calories at a Supa Fitness class, which will combine cardio and strength training programs. The park will also host group events such as birthday parties, corporate team building and school excursions. With the youth in mind, concepts are being developed to run blue light discos, DJ challenges and a variety of events to entertain teenagers in a safe and secure environment. SupaTramp will be creating more than 60 new positions within the organisation. For more information about employment opportunities or the chance to win an invite to SupaTramp’s launch party, head to supatramp.com. au or facebook.com/supatrampgeelong.

TAC grant supports hospital’s road safety project A ROAD safety initiative supported by Lorne Community Hospital has been backed by a $5,000 grant from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). The East Otway Road and Community Safety Group (EORCSG) will use the Community Partnership Program funds to continue to deliver the TAC’s best practice strategies while tailoring its activities to meet local needs.

The group was established in 2012 with funding from the Jy Morton Legacy – a fund managed by the hospital for projects that support community wellbeing initiatives. Its principal members are Lorne Community Hospital, Surf Coast Shire’s youth development department and infrastructure and engineering department, and Lorne police.

One of EORCSG’s major initiatives will focus on road safety strategies for young people aged 15 to 25 years. This is a result of evidence provided by the Surf Coast Shire’s Road Safety Strategy 2010-2015, which found that the groups at highest risk of injury (including fatal, serious and other injuries) in the shire were male and female drivers aged between 18-21, female passengers aged

between 16-17, and male passengers aged between 18-21. EORCSG’s objectives for the next three years include developing sustainable practices to ensure repeated road safety messages and activities over time, by: • Supporting assigned non-drinker messages in local hotels • Supporting liaison between Victoria Police and the Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12

College to deliver appropriate road safety education • Supporting school-based activities/ education to reduce the use of alcohol and other drugs in young road users • Increasing access to professional driving instruction in rural communities, and • Supporting the L2P initiative for disadvantaged youth.

Understand your family eye history OPSM Waurn Ponds optometrist Carol Hinch is urging people who have a family history of glaucoma to have their eyes examined regularly. “If you have a family member who has glaucoma, there is about a four times greater likelihood of you developing the disease,” she said. “People with a family history of

glaucoma need to have their eyes examined every two years unless otherwise specified by their optometrist.” Glaucoma can usually be treated effectively, especially if it is detected early. Early detection increases treatment options and can significantly slow the progression of the disease.

Improvements in technology are making it easier for optometrists to monitor and detect this insidious disease. As glaucoma develops to later stages, it can be seen as thinning of the margins of the optic nerve. OPSM also encourages people with glaucoma to play an active part in reminding their family members to book

an eye examination. “It is crucial for people with glaucoma to speak to their families about this silent and progressive eye condition so they understand the necessity of regular eye examinations,” Ms Hinch said. It is estimated that about 300,000 Australians have glaucoma and half are undiagnosed. The direct medical costs of glaucoma are almost $150 million annually. If you have glaucoma, encourage your family to visit an optometrist to have their eyes examined regularly. For further information, phone Rowan Prendergast at OPSM Waurn Ponds on 5243 9288 or rowan.prendergast@ opsm.com.au.

Smoking targeted with World No Tobacco Day funding CANCER Council Victoria welcomed new tobacco funding on World No Tobacco Day at the end of May. Assistant Minister for Health Fiona Nash said the campaign activity resonated with the goals of World No Tobacco Day – to lower death and disease caused by smoking. “Significant gains have been made in cutting smoking rates, with the number

of Australians aged 18 years and over who smoke daily falling from 22.4 per cent in 2001 to 16.3 per cent in 2011-12. “More work, however, needs to be done, particularly in those sections of our community where smoking is more entrenched, including in regional and rural communities, among culturally and linguistically diverse groups and Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander people. We’re also determined to continue to support pregnant women who want to quit smoking.” Cancer Council Victoria chief executive officer Todd Harper welcomed the investment. “We know that education is one of the most important interventions that can drive lower smoking rates. We congratulate Minister Nash for

achieving this important campaign in a difficult funding environment.” This $4.6 million campaign includes television, radio, print, out-of-home and online advertising. It will run from today until the end of June, and focuses on groups which experience a greater burden of tobaccorelated illness. This includes Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander communities. Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death and disease among Australians, killing more than 15,000 each year. It also costs an estimated $31.5 billion each year in social and economic costs. For more information on qutting smoking, visit quit.org.au.

Soy good, or not soy good? Bec Winkler is a qualified naturopath with 10 years experience. She works at the Chiropractic Centre, Jan Juc. BY BEC WINKLER AS WITH most foods there is the good, and, of course, the bad. In recent times, the poor old soy bean had been subject to a lot of negative media attention, however, there are two sides to every story. In its most natural form, soya beans are actually an extremely nutritious food. They are a complete protein and contain good amounts of B vitamins, magnesium, iron, folate, lecithin and calcium to name a few. “So what’s the issue?” I hear you say. The issue is both in the way we

consume soy as well as the processing we subject it to before we eat it. You see, the vast majority of the soy based products we consume such as soy milk, soy “meat” products, soy cheese and textured vegetable protein is genetically modified. Yep, scarily most soy products are GMO. As so many of us are avoiding gluten now, guess what they use as a filler in a lot of biscuits and snack food? You guessed it: GMO soy. You will see it labelled as soy isoflavins or isolates. These are bad news. The way we consume soy as a Western society is about as far from how it has been consumed traditionally as you can get. In Asian countries, particularly Japan, the soy bean is eaten in its raw state, as a bean or as tofu. They do not process it, or change the chemical structure, pour it all over their cereal every morning or consume 1/2 a litre of it in a smoothie or latte. Like so many other food products, we have taken what it a beautiful, healthy

and naturally occurring plant and turned it into a mess. What about soy and its effect on hormones? The body’s estrogen receptors are receptive to both xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens. In essence, xeno (meaning foreign) estrogens are bad news and come from exposure to plastics, beauty and cleaning products. Phytoestrogens, the good guys, come from plant based proteins such as whole, organic soy. When the body is stuffed with xenoestrogens, we cannot accept the phytoestrogens at the receptor site, therefore disrupting hormone balance. In a nutshell, only consume soy products that state on the packing that they contain “organic, whole soy beans” and avoid the GMO, soy isoflanivs and isolates like the plague. This includes soy sauce, soy milk and tofu. Avoid products of Japan since the Fukushima disaster and read your labels very carefully.

A favourite from last year, comedian Wes Snelling, is returning this year and teaming up with Kate McLennan for a hilarious show to be staged in a hotel room at the Cumberland Lorne Resort.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE fourth annual Lorne Festival of Performing Arts was officially launched on Sunday with the highly anticipated line-up announcement and soulful performances by participating artists Mikelangelo and Holly Durant. The festival, which is set to take place from August 29 to 31, will once again introduce an array of Australia’s top acts in circus, theatre, cabaret, comedy, visual arts and music. More than 150 people attended the opening, which included appearances from Lorne Business and Tourism Association, Chris Tutungi and Surf Coast Shire Lorne Ward Councillor Clive Goldsworthy. Artistic director Monique Harvey revealed over 30 programmed events and community projects including the “Reaching Extraordinary Heights” project, presented by Surf Coast Shire and the Australia Council for the Arts.

The project will bring the Flying Fruit Fly Circus to Lorne for three days of circus workshops with the regions youth. One of the festival’s most exciting performances will be the legendary, genre-bending Finucane and Smith’s Glory Box. The wildly popular show has won eight international awards and redefined the boundaries of cabaret and burlesque. Watch as provocateur Moira Finucane unleashes six dangerous divas in a maelstrom of variety with a vengeance. Also on the list of highlights is Ms Finucane’s enthralling Feast of La Gypsy Argentina. Bringing together a banquet of sensuous storytelling and delicious food and sangria, the show is unlike any other seen at the festival before. Expect to be spellbound by gobsmacking tales, tempted with a

few Latin American turns on the dance floor and prepare to indulge in the delicious tapas on offer. Other not-to-be-missed shows include The League of Sideshow Superstars and their shocking feats of human skill, Mikelangelo singing odes to locals at the Lorne Aquatic and Anglers Club, and festival favourite Wes Snelling, who returns this year with comedian Kate McLennan. Artistic director Monique Harding described this year’s line-up as “brilliant and spectacular”. “There are some really hard-hitting, full-on shows as well as performances for the family and workshops and shows for the kids. “It’s an incredibly diverse program with high quality acts across the board. “We wanted to bring something completely different to Lorne this year as well as a couple of favourites from previous years.” Ms Harding said there will be a

few changes this year with more local content and the festival will be extended to include performances on the Sunday afternoon. “We listened to the feedback and we really want to look after the people who love the festival. “We’re sure the changes will only make the festival even better and we can’t wait to see how it all goes.” This year’s festival will once again kick off with the Opening Night Spectacular in the expanded Circus Oz Big Top on the Lorne foreshore with a smorgasbord of performance previews, showcasing the event’s diversity. Performances will then spill into the streets and throughout various venues in the town for the remainder of the weekend.

The 11-strong Melbourne world music band is renowned for their powerful and theatrical performances which are infused with vaudevillian humour and verge on full-blown stage productions. They will be joined by the sisters of Stonefield who themselves have assembled a cache of followers thanks to their signature throw backs to the glory days of 70s rock and blues. The 2010 triple j Unearthed High winners have since found their way to the top of the charts with and on high rotation with hits “Through The Clover”, “Bad Reality”, “Put Your Curse On Me”, and more. The concert will support the Queenscliff Music Festival 2014 Emerging Artist Grant which aims to kickstart the careers of local musicians in the regions of Geelong, Barwon South West and the Bellarine Peninsula.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

JON HELMER

A white winter SO, IT’S officially winter now as we head into June and by that you’d think I’d have a host of whizz bang reds all lined up to talk about as the weather turns right? Wrong. In fact, I’ve been trying some terrific white wines of late and here is a sneak peek at a few that are worth seeking out if you’re so inclined.

Yealands Land Made Series Pinot Gris 2013 ($17)

One of Torquay’s most promising bands, The Stackshots, has gone from strength to strength since forming just last year.

Gigs pile up for The Stackshots BY TIFFANY PILCHER LOUD Torquay alt-rock band The Stackshots are gearing up for big things this year. Despite only forming in 2013, the trio have already bagged a string of gigs around Victoria and interstate, festival appearances and released their first album, Cause for Concern, to much praise. Just last week, they realised their long-held dream of playing as a support act for their idols, hard rock duo King of the North, at the Barwon Club. “We’re big fans so we were so stoked when we heard we got the gig,” bassist Corey Cookson said. “They’re doing something that not a lot of bands are doing right now, they’re pretty full on. “It’s one of the things we’ve been hoping to achieve so we can tick that off the list now.” The Stackshots have progressed in leaps and

bounds since they first came together while studying VET music together. As well as playing alongside one of their favourite bands, they have performed at Meredith Music Festival, Melbourne’s Cherry Bar and are drumming up interest through battle of the bands competitions around the state. Cookson said their strong direction is giving them the edge they need to keep pushing further. “I think we offer something a bit different than a lot of other bands at the moment. “We maintain an original sound and it’s full of energy, that’s what people want to hear, they want to be able to really get into what they’re listening to.” The Stackshots have lined up appearances at a number of prominent festivals this year, to be among the first to hear about what they’ve got coming up, follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/ thestackshots3.

Yealands Family Wines from Marlborough in New Zealand are an established cool climate, carbon zero certified producer dedicated to sustainable winegrowing created by Peter Yealand. In the 70s, Peter also saw the potential of the Greenshell Mussel industry and helped develop it very successfully. In the 80s he again successfully invested in deer farms. Then came the wine, another successful venture. As you can see, he’s a real “can do” kind of guy. The space age looking Yealands winery built in 2008 is definitely futuristic in style and design and their seven vineyards are all carefully grown with sustainability/clean, green initiatives in mind. The wines of course reflect this commitment to quality throughout their portfolio and their “entry level” Land Made series are amazing value for money. The latest Pinot Gris a richly textured, fragrantly aromatic white with a complex flavour profile. Such is the outstanding quality of the wine, it recently won a trophy for the “Best Value Dry White Wine” and a “Blue Gold” award at The Sydney International Wine Competition – high praise indeed and top recognition. Get on it.

Vermentino King Valley 2012 ($12) This is a cracking new wine from the De Bortoli stable that shows all the freshness and vibrancy you’d expect from this Mediterranean white variety from Italy that is making tentative inroads into the white wine scene in

Australia, this example being from the cool climes of the King Valley. The variety originally hails from the Ligurian/ Tuscan/Sardinian regions in Italy where it is best known for its ability to cope with hot summers and retain good levels of acidity, while displaying light, bright zesty citrus zing and mineral appeal, making it a shoe-in with most white meat dishes. If you want a white that’s fresh, lively, and complex but above all really drinkable at an everyday price point, then here it is.

Max Ferd. Richter Mosel Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett 2009 ($37) So my eldest daughter phones asking me to bring her home a nice white wine as she’s finally finished her mountain of uni assignments after many days/nights locked away in her room. This is a new thing for her but she definitely didn’t want a moscato, rather something with a just bit of sweetness. Hmmm, I decided I’d choose a wine to celebrate and educate at the same time with a beautiful German off-dry Riesling from a great producer, the Max Ferd. Richter being a perfect foil. I was excited myself to buy it for her as it’s such a delicious wine with the lively, juicy, fruit flavours and minerally finish. So more-ish, the wine weighing in at only 8.5 per cent alcohol too. Max Ferd. Richter has been producing Riesling in the Mosel since 1680 and the wines are an essay in classic elegance and finesse alongside the regional raciness, fruitiness and mineral complexity, which is why this estate is seen as not only one of the most exciting producers in Germany, but one of the finest exponents of Riesling anywhere in the world. She ended up instagramming it but only having a couple of glasses, safe to say I made sure the rest didn’t go to waste!

Scarf Festival rolls out in Geelong GEELONG’S cosiest winter event, Scarf Festival 2014, opened last week at the National Wool Museum with a flurry of furry neck-warmers from across the state picking up the top prizes. A crowd of more than 150 gathered at the Museum and Black Sheep restaurant on Thursday evening for the annual fashion show and award announcements. This year’s theme “Divinely wicked or devilishly good?” attracted a record-breaking 329 scarves from across Australia and abroad. The judges were chief executive officer and artistic director of Craft (Victoria) Jane Scott and managing editor of What’s On and Bay Lifestyle magazines Trudi Bondarenko. Together, they selected Margaret Drayton of Anglesea for the top award, Scarf of the Year, as well as the Crotched section with her work, Hopscotch. Beverley Cox was another big winner, taking out Scarf of the Year 2014 in the Felted category. “This exhibition has again proven that there are no limitations to creativity and skill when placed in the hands of a talented maker,” the judges said.

AN EXHIBITION featuring works from a prestigious global art competition is now open in at Courthouse Arts, with the starring piece produced by a local artist. Geelong’s Lianne Gough was awarded the 2013 Mortimore Prize in October and received $16,000 in prize money for her oil portrait of her daughter, Cailin.

“The strength of craft in Australia lies with our practitioners who insist on keeping the art of handmade alive and well.” The annual scarf festival is now in its 11th year and is one of National Wool Museum’s signature events and an important textile industry event. Scarf Festival 2014 will run with daily craft demonstrations between 10am and 4pm until September at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong.

The prize recognises excellence in all areas of realism with categories including figurative, still life, landscape, waterscape, drawing, smalls and the recent addition of surrealism.

quality to this portrait which captures a moment in time. “It rests comfortably somewhere between a drawing and a painting, giving it an element of freshness and spontaneity which is one of its great drawcards. “The confident, loose treatment demonstrates the benefit of not overworking art. “The subject leaves a lot to the viewer’s imagination, with an element of suggestive intrigue, questioning what the figure is actually doing.” The exhibition has been travelling Australia since the award announcements and also features works by Gold Coast painter Shannon Doyle who won the figurative and surrealism categories of the prize, becoming the first single artist to win multiple sections. The Mortimore Prize exhibition is at The Gallery at Courthouse Arts, Corner Little Malop and Gheringhap Streets, Geelong weekdays from 10am to 5pm until June 30. Visitors are invited to vote for the people’s choice awards, which will determine a further $16,000 worth of prizes.

BOOKGROVE’S Night in the Bookstore series continues with an appearance by debut Melbourne author Emily Bitto next week. Bitto will launch her novel The Strays, an engrossing story of ambition, sacrifice and compromised loyalties. On her first day at a new school, Lily befriends one of the daughters of infamous avant-garde painter Evan Trentham. He and his wife are trying to escape the stifling conservatism of 1930s Australia by inviting other likeminded artists to live and work at their family home. Lily becomes infatuated with this wild, makeshift family and longs to truly be a part of it. As the years pass, Lily observes the way the lives of these artists come to reflect the same themes as their art: Faustian bargains and spectacular falls from grace. Yet it’s not Evan, but his own daughters, who pay the price for his radicalism. The Strays re-imagines Australia’s stiflingly conservative era when obscenity cases were frequent and avant-garde art was not only new and subversive, but also dangerous.

First-time author Emily Bitto is launching her book, The Strays, at bookgrove on Wednesday.

Bitto has a masters degree in literary studies, a PhD in creative writing from the University of Melbourne and her writing has appeared in various publications, including Meanjin, Heat, Harvest, The Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Literary Review. Emily Bitto is appearing at bookgrove, 1/73 The Terrace, Ocean Grove, on Wednesday June 18 from 7pm. For bookings phone 5255 5973, email staceymoore@bookgrove.com.au or visit bookgrove.com.au.

Comedy heavyweight to stand up at Ocean Grove The Piping Hot Chicken and Burger Grill will host heavyweight of Australian comedy Austen Tayshus this month.

Austen Tayshus wil be at the Piping Hot Chicken and Burger Grill this month.

Intolerance – a short film of a true experience that developed into one of his stage routines. Intolerance won Best Film and Tayshus won the Best Actor award in Tropfest 1998. This led directly to the Jane Campion film Holy Smoke, Emma-Kate Croghan’s Strange Planet, Paul Fenech’s Somewhere in the darkness and Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge among many others. Currently, Tayshus is touring across Australia and is developing several film and television projects. On Saturday June 28, he will be supported by two awesome local up and coming comedians, Jackson Hand and Tait Middleton at the Piping Hot Chicken and Burger Grill. Doors open at 7.30pm, first act starts at 8pm. Tickets cost $20, book early on 5255 1566.

act, including Mental as Anything, Inxs, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Uncanny X Men, Richard Clapton and more. By the 90s, Tayshus had moved to Los Angeles to begin pursuing a movie career. He had a small cameo in the Sharon Stone movie Sliver and by day, auditioned for many big movies. By night Tayshus worked in all the comedy clubs in Los Angeles, including the Comedy Store, the Improvs in Santa Monica and on Melrose, the Laugh Factory, Igby’s and Carolines in New York. His stay in Los Angeles culminated in a collaboration on a low budget feature film – Dream Factory, which he co-wrote and starred in. The film was a tragi-comedy about his last days in LA trying to become a big shot. Returning to Australia in 1997, Tayshus wrote and starred in

TAYSHUS was born at Sydney’s first comedy store in Jamieson Street in 1981 and stood up for the first time after a fairly precarious delivery, in March of that year. By 1982, Australiana was ready to record and it was released by Regular Records through Warner music in June 1983. It sold in excess of 200,000 copies, went double platinum and still holds the record for the highest selling Australian single ever. Tayshus became a household name immediately and began touring extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand – Australiana was a hit in New Zealand too. Tayshus hosted the Narara Rock Festival in 1983 and 1984, which showcased many big Australian and international rock bands. Throughout the 1980s, Tayshus appeared with the biggest bands in Australia, as MC and as support

IF YOU have a leek in your refrigerator, you will not go hungry or be scratching for ideas of what to cook. Now is the best time for leeks, and the range of recipes for soups, tarts, vegetable dishes that feature leeks almost warrants a cookbook devoted entirely to this totally versatile vegetable! (And yes, I do seem to be on a soup theme at present – call this a trifecta of soups!) Members of the lily family, leeks were highly prized by the Romans who cooked them enthusiastically into barley soup, or with lentils and pork. The Welsh deemed the leek to be their national emblem. And the Scots – well, even now I remember as a youngster in the home economics class in early years at school, all meek and naïve, being flushed with embarrassment at the prospect of cooking cocka-leekie soup, which of course is real comfort food: a delicious chicken and leek broth. I can’t recall now whether we cooked spotted dick for dessert in the same class? But I digress. In northern Chinese cooking, a dish of shredded leeks and beef is a hearty, healthful and colourful meal, while another favourite of mine, from Sri Lanka, is Leeks Mirisata – or, leeks fried with chilli, turmeric and dried prawns. For some odd reason leeks (Allium porrum) have sometimes been referred to as the

“asparagus of the poor”, and I say this is odd because they are not particularly cheap. They can be braised, sautéed, served with a sauce au gratin, and when nouvelle cuisine hit the big time, leeks were suddenly out of the stockpot and in the spotlight. I’m sure you will recall the decorative and colourful garnishes of these times – including a tangle of very finely julienned leek, the green part mostly, which was then deep fried in smoking hot oil for a few seconds, drained and set on top of all manner of dishes. Very spectacular! But let’s return to the more homely and comfortable dishes that feature leeks. A soup with the gorgeous name of soupe à la bonne femme, (I’m sure there has been a movie of the same name) “a good woman”. This potage is really one of the many variations of soups that utilise potatoes and leeks. Vichyssoise, which is actually of North American origin, not French as most people would think, and is a cold soup. The Italians in the Alba region do a variation of the classic leek soup. They sauté leeks together with potato and once the potato, which serves as a thickener, has disintegrated, some rice is added. Or, for an easy vegetarian option – if the corners of your fridge are harbouring the rind of some parmigiano or grana padano cheese, and an assortment of vegetables – then you simply

LEEKS UNDER THE ROOF IN WINTER sauté two or three leeks, some fresh thyme and a bay leaf. Pop all this into a large pot and simmer, the rind almost acts as the ham hock of the vegetarian world, flavouring the soup. You will find the flavour of the leek is more subtle than onion. For this reason, leeks are great in a tart, or quiche (if you want to use plain speak). Leeks marry well with mushrooms, chicken, and salmon – but before you think of coupling them up with anything, you must trim and clean the leek, as they can be gritty. Most of the green, top part of the leek is discarded, however, the thrifty cook will add this to the stock pot. Make a slit lengthways down the middle of the leek and either plunge the remaining “top” into a deep tub of cold water to sluice out the grit, or shower the leek under a tap of cold running water. Use your fingers to “fan” out the layers so it is thoroughly grit-free. My favourite pasta dish – at the moment – uses a sautéed leek, a smoked chicken breast, some white wine, a generous dash of cream, fresh sage leaves and some parmigiano reggiano, grated. This is a delicious sauce to toss through penne or fettuccine. On a chilly winter’s night it is comfort food to share – enjoy with a glass of red wine! And use as many leeks as you can on these wintry nights – their subtle flavour is to be savoured, to be sure!

F U L LY

Smoked Chicken and Leek Pasta, Serves Two INGREDIENTS 1 x smoked chicken breast 1 leek 1 clove garlic 4 tablespoons EVOO 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 150gm grated Parmigiano 1/2 cup cream 1/4 teaspoon chilli – finely chopped or use dried flakes A handful of picked continental parsley as garnish Penne or other similar shaped pasta – 250gms – cooked in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water. METHOD Remove the skin from the chicken breast and cut into thin strips about 2.5 centimetres long – bite sized. Thoroughly wash and drain the leek, and slice into .5 centimetre pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Using a wide pan or skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil, add the leeks, then the garlic and simmer gently until the leeks are softened, but not browned. Add paprika, chillies and chicken and stir through for about five minutes – cooking the pasta at the same time in a separate pot until al dente. Drain the pasta and immediately combine with the smoked chicken and leek sugo, adding a little of the cooking water to the mix. Stir through the cream and serve immediately into warmed bowls, with parmesan and parsley garnish.

JUNE 12 - JUNE 19 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014

“Keep moving forwards and don’t look back” is your current motto. But – with Mercury reversing through your communication and social media zone – make sure you’re broadcasting the correct message. And think things through especially on the weekend. You don’t want to be saddled with the long-term consequences of impulsive and imprudent actions.

With prosperity planet Jupiter visiting your sign until July 16 hurry up and make the most of the lucky opportunities that come your way. No sidestepping Crabs! The sun shifts into your sign on Saturday, so home and family are the main focus for the next four weeks. Be inspired by Meryl Streep born on June 22 “My family really does come first. It always has and always will.”

You may bump into an old friend, discover long-forgotten love-letters, or reconnect with a former flame. Just remember – memories are so seductive because they’re so selective! Librans have a predilection for procrastination. The weekend Aries moon helps you initiate a project that’s been percolating in your mind. As birthday great Meryl Streep reminds us “Start by starting”.

For some lucky Goats, love is in the air! Venus and Jupiter jump-start a sluggish romance or send Cupid’s arrows in your direction. But retrograde Mercury is about to cause some mischief in your daily routine zone, as your strict schedule goes out the window and chaos reigns supreme. Don’t stress Capricorn… some unstructured spontaneity may be just what the doctor ordered.

Your bovine charisma shines brightly this week, as vivacious Venus vamps through your sign and Jupiter gives you a welcome confidence boost. So it’s the ideal time to indulge in some personal body pampering, party like a pro, plus call in a few old favours. But your sweet tooth is stimulated and comfort eating is a danger, so strive to nurture yourself in less fattening ways.

Lions are feeling impatient! But it’s not a wonderful week to make a wish, pursue goals, launch a group project or unveil a social media campaign. Wait until after July 1, when Mercury moves forwards again. With Venus visiting your career zone until June 23 a little Leo charm will take you far at work, as you find creative ways to connect with colleagues, customers or clients.

Professional partnerships are favoured midweek, as you utilise your Scorpio charm to win friends and influence people. You’re in an argumentative mood on Saturday but be warned - loved ones are primed to fight back, so you may find you’ve bitten off more than you can comfortably chew. With Venus visiting your relationship zone, it’s time to make love not war.

Does life seem like all work and no play at the moment? Hang in there Aquarius – the professional skills you polish now will pay off handsomely further down the track. No matter how busy you are, make sure you leave room in your hectic schedule to spend quality time with an important child in your life, so you can explore a new sport, hobby or creative activity together.

It’s true that your ruler Mercury is reversing through your sign until July 1 but don’t let that frustrate you Twins. It’s the perfect time to read, research, rehearse, reboot, reschedule, revisit and reload, as you carefully double-check all information that comes your way. Geminis love nothing better than a good old gossip but resist the urge to be the neighbourhood nosey-parker!

It may feel as if everyone wants a piece of you this week, Virgo, as responsibilities increase and deadlines shorten. If you’re smart, you’ll do all you can to avoid power struggles and communication chaos especially at work. You’re keen to say what’s on your mind but try not to be a carping critic. Make your comments as constructive and positive as possible.

Many Sagittarians will be in a buoyant mood mid-week, as vivacious Venus and jovial Jupiter lift your spirits and boost your confidence. It’s also a terrific time to socialise with work colleagues or clients. The fiery Aries Moon puts you in the mood for sport, speed and spontaneity on Saturday… whereas Sunday suits tackling more practical and productive pursuits.

Are you capitalising on your creativity? The stars encourage you to revisit a neglected talent – whether it’s painting, writing, dancing, singing, taking photos or playing music. When it comes to a domestic matter, don’t let a loved one talk you into doing something you don’t believe in. Stand strong, as you spell out the boundaries of what’s fair and reasonable for you.

KEYBOARD SHORT CUTS TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS AS YOU all know, computers can be frustrating. Here are a few shortcuts I have picked up over the years to make things a little more user-friendly. As mentioned below, the WINDOWS key on the keyboard is the key between the CTRL key and ALT key situated on the bottom left of the keyboard. It usually has a little Windows icon (picture of the Windows “flag”). These key combinations require you to press and hold the first key, tap the second key, then release the first key.

WINDOWS KEY + E

p. 5261 2888 m. 0439 070 571 torquaycomputers.com.au

This combination opens up a Windows Explorer screen. Handy to access your drives and files without having to minimise everything and click on My Computer.

WINDOWS KEY + M Minimise all open windows and show the desktop. Great to quickly return to the desktop and start a program from your desktop shortcuts.

WINDOWS KEY + LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW Snaps the current windows to either the left half or the right half of the screen. Great for comparing two documents etc. without the fiddly mouse work.

ALT + TAB While holding the ALT key down keep pressing the TAB key to scroll though a list of all the open Windows. When you reach the one you want, then release.

CTRL + SCROLL WHEEL ON MOUSE While holding control and scrolling the wheel, this will magnify or reduce the current window. Perfect for reading text in WebPages by zooming in easily. Also works on the Desktop screen.

CTRL + SHIFT + T This is the latest addition to my commonly used shortcuts. This only works in a web browser. It opens the last TAB you closed. I am forever opening multiple TABS in Google chrome and closing them by accident. This simply opens the last closed TAB and can also go back multiple closed TABS.

Tigers claw down Hawks BY JAMES TAYLOR

Matthew Johnston kicks one of his five goals for Torquay.

TORQUAY has moved into third place on the BFL ladder after recording an 11-goal victory over Drysdale in round 9. The Hawks led by a point at quarter time at Spring Creek Reserve but the Tigers dominated the scoreboard from then on, Ty Zantuck and Matthew Johnston bagging five goals each. Thomas Dewey kicked four goals for the visitors. A see-sawing contest at Alcoa Oval saw Ocean Grove eventually overcome Anglesea by 10 points. Mark Laidler slotted four goals for the Grubbers. Modewarre easily accounted for Portarlington at Community Bank Oval, leading by 33 points at half time and winning by 51 points. Joshua Finch kicked

three goals for the Warriors. Geelong Amateur remains on top and undefeated after a percentage-boosting 95-point victory over Barwon Heads. Ammos forward Rowan McSparron kicked five goals to stay in equal first place on the goal-kicking ladder, while eight goals from team-mate Damien Zaparenkov moved him into fourth place. Queenscliff forward Daniel Degois is the other player atop the goal-kicking ladder, slamming home 14 majors as the Coutas crushed Newcomb by 240 points. Harrison Bennett (five goals), Zac Henderson (four) and Samuel Wayth (four) also contributed to the 39-goal scoreline. For full results from all grades, head to aflbarwon.com.au.

MY BIG CATCH WITH GARRY KERR

Thursday 12 June 2014

QUITE often over the years I have been asked where the boundaries of the marine parks are located. This is a question that many have indicated they would like answered. There are a number of marine national parks and marine sanctuaries along the coast including at Point Addis, Point Danger, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale. For those along the coast looking for the coordinates of these and other parks, visit parkweb. vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/313568/ Marine-National-Parks-and-MarineSanctuaries-Boundary-Coordinates.pdf. It will provide you with all the information you need. Only use the coordinates if your GPS Receiver is in WGS84 Datum and the coordinate system is Latitude/Longitude – Degrees, Minutes &Seconds (i.e.DDD°MM’SS’’). If you are plotting these points on a nautical chart, remember to check that the datum of the chart is the World Geodetic System. This will be found near the chart title. If the chart is not WGS84, you will need to refer to a different list of coordinates. Note: Information provided in the tables on the PDF is to provide guidance for boaters on boundaries for Victoria’s marine national parks and marine sanctuaries. The information contained within the tables has been derived from Certified Plans and other sources and is accurate for most applications. It should be noted that some points are difficult to describe using coordinates alone and if 100 per cent accuracy is required navigators should refer to the Certified Plans. Certified Plans for the Marine National Park system are available from the DEPI website depi.vic.gov.au, which describe the legal boundaries of the reserves.

WE WERE certainly blessed with great golfing weather over the past week and long weekend.

NTPs: 3rd Club Captain David Lewis, 6th Val Kalezic, 13th Billy Black and the Jackpot 16th Geoff Lewtas.

THE SANDS TORQUAY MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Wednesday Par: It was an interesting day weather wise, with a calm morning leading to a pummelling of rain in the arvo. Darryl Yelland got out early with +4 to set the pace that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be matched. Runnerup in a count back was a drenched Calem Hoffman with +3. NTP honours went to Dean Bernasconi on the 5th and Scott Rixon on the 13th. Saturday Stroke: Medal: It was not easy out there on Saturday, with tricky winds matched with equally tricky pin locations, it was going to take some top form to score well on this day. It was a 2 Grade event with plenty of names atop the leaderboard. The medal was one by the A Grade winner Peter Brooks with a score of Nett 72, fending off runner up in a count back, Blake Mios by 1. In the B Grade we had a familiar name above the rest as Brett King came in with a nett 73. Runner up with 74 points was Wayne Rees. NTP honours went to Michael Yates on the 5th, Marc Blampied on the 13th and Brian Harley on the 17th.

FROM THE MEMBERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ROOM Smith was able to capture her second medal in as many months, this time scoring a Nett 75. Runner up in a countback was earned with a steady performance by Dot Tattersall with Nett 77. NTP honours went to Cheryl Collings on the 7th. Saturday Stableford: It was a tough day condition wise for the ladies, but they prevailed (as always) and we had some good results. The winner was Linda Turner, who scored 36 points to run away with the comp. Runner up in a countback with 29 points was Carol McDonald. NTP went to Kate King on the 7th.

MEDLEY

Thursday Stroke Medal: It was a lovely crisp winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day for the ladies as they embarked on their first medal comp of the winter months. The result had a familiar name atop the leaderboard, as Heather

Tuesday Stableford Medley: A cloudy day threatened but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become a factor in the 9 hole medley. Shirley Peake came out firing from the start, and was able to score 17 points to win by one. Rae Rayner was runner-up on count back with 16 points. Sunday Stableford Medley: It was a crisp windy winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day but the scores were positive. Zac Sawyer ended up winning in a countback with 35 points. Runner up was Charlie Sharplin. Black Tee Challenge: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a bit daunting to play the back tees at The Sands so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth congratulating all those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve participated thus far. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner was Mark Greeff who scored 30 points.

LADIES

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB Tuesday June 3, Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Par Some dark, drizzly conditions kept a few away, but when the sun came out a little later it made the wait worthwhile for some of us. Jim Collison was especially pleased, coming in with 5 up and an NTP on the 5th to win Trophy of the Day and B Grade, beating my own good score by two shots. A Grade also had a high achiever in Harrison Geall, whose 4 up won the day from Kane McKenzie, who also collected the NTP on the 17th, by one shot. C Grade went to Peter Ward with 2 down on a count back from David Cominie, while Nick Trezise continued his great weekend form by winning D Grade with a -1 by a shot from Graeme McGregor, whose new eyes seem to be working!

Jenny Edmanson has held

A mixed weather day, ranging from clear blue skies to pouring rain brought with it mixed results. However, Martin Shembrey rose above all with his outstanding nett 65 to win the Monthly Medal and B Grade from Graeme Short on 71. Lee James, off a handicap of 2 also played brilliantly to win A Grade (and the ProPin) with a nett 70 by a shot from Robbie White, who also won the pinshot on the 2nd, whilst Ian Thomson enjoyed a great day with his 68 to win C Grade by a shot from Andrew Chalmers.
