SET TO GO Point Lonsdale housing development to go ahead following ministerial approval

BY ALISON MARTIN

POINT Lonsdale’s controversial Stockland housing development will go ahead after years of planning processes and community opposition. Local, state and federal governments have all agreed a 600-home development, with significant community facilities located between Swan Bay and internationally-significant wetlands is environmentally sound and meets planning requirements. However, Point Lonsdale Civic Association secretary, David Shaw, described the decision as “disappointing and surprising, given the high level of community objections against the proposal and the number of recent reports which did not support the Stockland proposal”.

Minister for Planning, Justin Madden, said the combined amendment and planning permit set additional planning controls, including an environmental bond to ensure all stages of the subdivision complied with the landscape plan. A bond will be levied at the rate of 120 per cent of the final landscaping costs. Madden said the development would include a 600-lot residential sub-division with integrated waterways, a retirement village, an aged care facility, a multi-purpose community centre, convenience shop, public open space, conservation land, walking paths, bicycle trails and a road network. “The robust planning controls I have introduced will ensure the Stockland development respects the site’s proximity to the nearby environmentally significant Swan Bay and Port Phillip Heads Marine

National Park,” he said. Madden said native vegetation protection, stormwater management, flood protection, urban design, landscaping, traffic management and pedestrian linkages had all been addressed. But despite the backing of three tiers of government, community concerns remain. PLCA chair, Barney Orchard said it was a decision that could “ultimately harm 600 families from rising water” long after the developer had gone. He was also disillusioned that local and state governments could approve a residential development on the Point Lonsdale land when numerous of their own reports by experts warned against development on low-lying land. “The community trusted the reports would have stopped this but now there are policies broken,

reports have been ignored, and the responsible planning authority has turned around and said it will be the problem of the people who buy there if it floods,” Orchard said. Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, has assured residents that a “rigorous environmental assessment process” had been undertaken and the development complied with the Point Lonsdale structure plan and City of Greater Geelong zoning. She said the proposal had been supported by the City of Greater Geelong and the independent panel. “I am very aware that there are strong community views and many community members will be opposed to this development,” she said. “That is why I have met with community groups and residents and have communicated these views to the Minister for Planning.”

It was great to see so many people attend ANZAC Day services on Sunday. Several services were held across Geelong and the Bellarine to mark the 95th anniversary of the Australian and New Zealand troops landing at Gallipoli. Thousands of people turned out to honour and pay respects to the many men and women who have served this country. Lest we forget.

2010 Impetus Youth Awards – Bellarine winners

Congratulations to all of our Impetus Youth Award winners, in particular to the four winners from the Bellarine: Citizenship Award winner Liam Nelson of Drysdale Liam was recognised for his well developed social conscience and his leadership abilities. He has demonstrated this through his active participation in many different projects at his school. He has implemented his ideas with the broader school community, presented at College forums and has brought to his peers’ attention the issues of cyber bullying and school pride. Liam is to be commended for his courage in addressing issues which are often swept under the carpet or put in the too hard basket. His forum presentation to others, leadership skills and ability to focus on the positives are greatly admired by staff, students and the community. Leadership Award winner Jacquelyn Hawthorn of Clifton Springs. A young person full of spirit, who leads by

example and is always happy, enthusiastic and extremely helpful. She has earned the respect of her fellow classmates and teaching staff for confidently expressing her views. Jacqueline was awarded for her involvement in the Worklinks programs (through Karingal), which aims to increase client independence and work skills. Worker Award winner – Nicki Dunne of Ocean Grove We are lucky to have so many fantastic workers engaging with young people in the City of Greater Geelong region. Nicki is well known as an active worker and contributor to the Geelong community over a number of years. She understands that to work successfully with young people, you need to listen and support them to reach their goals. Nicki was recognised for her enthusiasm and willingness to introduce a broad range of opportunities to young people in her care. Inspiration Award winner – Liam Way of Ocean Grove Aged just fourteen, Liam applied for a grant to produce a short documentary about youth homelessness on the Bellarine Peninsula and how this effects both the young person and their family. His intentions are for the film to be used as a resource for young people and the broader community. He was awarded for demonstrating his passion for community and he shows a maturity and understanding that goes beyond his age. Each of these winners received a $500 contribution towards their community work, field of study or nominated charity.

New childhood literacy programme introduced at Portarlington Last week a new literacy programme for pre-school aged children was introduced at Portarlington. The ‘Let’s Read’ programme encourages parents to read aloud to their children from as young as four months. It seeks to address research that has found that children who have not developed emergent literacy skills by school age are unlikely to catch up with their peers. A joint initiative of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute’s Centre for Community Child Health and The Smith Family, Let’s Read aims to give families the information and tools they need to introduce their children to books from a very young age in a bid to improve Australia’s literacy levels. Let’s Read will be co-ordinated in Portarlington by the City of Greater Geelong and Bellarine Community Health. Communitybased professionals will provide local families with special Let’s Read resources including tips and information on how to read to babies and toddlers, a suggested book list, a DVD demonstrating ways to read and have fun with books and an age appropriate book. The resources will be made available in Portarlington free of charge, thanks to funding made available through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

BY ALISON MARTIN PORTARLINGTON and District Garden Club is preparing to celebrate members’ enthusiasm for growing flowers and plants, which has spanned three decades. The club’s legacy is evident throughout Portarlington, with Wiffen Park always colourful and well-maintained thanks to members’ love of gardening and tubs of Pelargoniums bringing life to the town’s main street. The 30th anniversary of the club will be marked with a special event on Monday, May 10, with past and present members acknowledging “the heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future”. Club secretary, Rodney Eeles, said the club’s history

Lonsdale defence homes EIGHT new defence homes have been built at Point Lonsdale to improve facilities for the locallybased people in the defence forces based. Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the new homes had been funded through the Federal Economic Stimulus Plan and had provided jobs for local tradespeople. He said the new homes were a sign of the government’s commitment to Point Lonsdale’s continued role within the Australian Defence Forces. “That’s very important to the future economic stability of the township,” Cheeseman said. The eight houses have injected $2.17million into the local area with builders using local contractors and sub-contractors to ensure these homes have been built to the required ADF standards. Cheeseman said builders and architects had taken into consideration the beach location, and made some adjustments to the homes to fit in with Point Lonsdale’s character. “You can see these houses are in a fantastic area that will provide our local ADF members with a quality home located within an easy drive to local bases,” he said.

dated back to 1979, when Portarlington Community Health Centre nursing co-ordinator, sister Diane Williamson, initiated the promotion of health-related projects in the district. “To gauge interest, she called a meeting at the health centre and approached a number of people known to be interested in gardening,” Eeles explained. “The meeting on November 12, 1979, was attended by 17 people and led to the formation of the club.” The club will celebrate its 30th anniversary on May 10. The community is invited to be part of the festivities, starting at 3.30pm at Portarlington Community Health Centre, with more information or RSVP by, contacting Rita Oliver on 5259 3436 or Judy Margolis on 5257 1444.

The joint initiative of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute’s Centre for Community Child Health and The Smith Family aims to give families the information and tools they need to introduce their children to books from a young age in a bid to improve Australia’s literacy levels. Let’s Read will be co-ordinated in Portarlington by the City of Greater Geelong and Bellarine Community Health, with the support of community-based professionals including pre-school educators, allied health workers and Geelong Regional Library Service. Local families are being provided with special Let’s Read resources, including tips and information on how to read to babies and toddlers, a suggested book list, a DVD demonstrating ways to read and have fun with books and an age-appropriate book.

Let’s Read responds to research that has identified children who have not developed emergent literacy skills by school age, are unlikely to catch up with their peers. City of Greater Geelong councillor, John Doull said Let’s Read was important in preparing children to learn to read at school and supporting local parents to develop children’s critical early literacy skills. Karla Morison, of Bellarine Community Health, described the new programme “as a unique opportunity for Portarlington to make a real investment in the future of our children”.

Online respite resource launched BELLARINE residents with a disability, their families and carers now have easier access to respite via a new online resource. Community Services Minister and Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, launched the innovative service that will provide the latest information about available respite services from all Commonwealth, state and local government programmes. Neville joined Barwon Health chief executive officer, Dr David Ashbridge, support agency representatives and people with a disability to promote the Respite Online Information Service in the region last week. Neville said the government recognised the vital role families, friends and other carers play in supporting people with a disability on the Bellarine and across Victoria. “We understand Victorians are concerned about the stress families who are caring for a disabled child or other loved ones are under, that is why we are making it easier for them to find and access the respite service that best meets their needs,” Neville said. “Whether it’s respite for a weekend or during the school holidays, there are many options families can choose from. “Previously, accessing information about what respite was available was a complex and time consuming task, but this new website will provide users with a one-stopshop for detailed information about all the

Plaza continues to grow OCEAN Grove Plaza will welcome new tenants next month, leaving only two shops vacant and a great range of businesses in the centre. Knight Frank leasing agent, Adrian deLerios, said the last two tenancies were expected to be taken soon with the broad range of retailers further boosting the appeal of the centre.

“Ocean Grove Plaza now has Target, Gloria Jeans, Ocean Rouge hair salon, Ocean Grove Pharmacy and will soon have Nova Phones – a locally-owned Optus franchise – and a new homewares store set up by local tenants,” he said. “Existing tenants, BJ’s Tennis and Leisure, are taking over a bigger store so they can expand their

product range. “A majority of the centre is now leased; we’ve had a great response and are very pleased with the way it’s gone. “Locals are operating their own businesses and we have a bright, new centre with 80 parking spaces, so everyone can get a park.”

deLerios said with the new tenants moving in next months, the centre would also offer a selection of key retailers that people haven’t had in Ocean Grove before. “A good tenant mix gives the customer a range of opportunities and will appeal to a huge number of people,” he said.

The Olive Pit’s new shop at 71 The Terrace is looking fantastic and now provides double the seating for dine-in customers. The new kitchen facilities have enabled the café menu to be expanded and you can always enjoy great coffee, along with all the favourite foods enjoyed at The Olive Pit since opening more than two years ago. Tia and the friendly staff at The Olive Pit are inviting you to visit the new delicatessen and café today.

Think pink for a good cause A PINK cloud has descended over Ocean Grove Bakers Delight store to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia. The pink force is working with breast cancer survivors on its annual Bakers Delight Pink Bun Fundraising campaign, which aims to raise $1million Australia-wide for the important charity. The campaign involves 100 per cent of the sale of pink finger buns and pink ladies going to the BCNA until May 12. Customers can also buy a box of six strawberry and cream tarts, with $1 from each box sale going to the BCNA, or they can choose to make a donation in store. All money raised will assist the BCNA’s work, providing support and assistance to those women whose lives have been personally affected by breast cancer, and the 14,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2010.

past decade the Bakers Delight Pink Bun campaign has become the most significant fundraising effort on the BCNA calendar. “We are incredibly humbled and happy to be celebrating 10 years of unwavering support from Bakers Delight,” Swinburne said. “The fundraising campaign is an extraordinary collaboration between individual Bakers Delight bakeries, breast cancer survivors and the local community – it is inspiring for our women to see and experience such widespread and heartfelt support.” Since 2000, Bakers Delight has raised more than $3.7million for BCNA, directly supporting thousands of Australian women and their families through their breast cancer journey. Customers are also encouraged to leave a personal message on a pink lady in support or memory of a loved one affected by breast cancer.

AN UPGRADED website has been launched by the Queenscliff-Point Lonsdale Lions Club. The club’s second vice-president and webmaster, Bruce Williams, said the new site will better inform residents of what the Lions are doing locally, nationally and internationally. Williams said the old website had limitations as to what could be displayed and with the assistance of Lions Club headquarters the new

site was created. “People will find the site is very user friendly and those wanting to inquire about joining our club online can do so with ease and we look forward to hearing from local residents wanting to serve our community as well as having fun and good fellowship,” Williams said. To see the new-look website, visit www.queenscliffpointlonsdale. vic.lions.org.au

Harvest time this weekend Members of the Leopold Football Club get in some practice for Sunday’s event.

Leopold’s big boat race LEOPOLD’S local community clubs will be running dry – literally – this Sunday as they gear up to race dry boats in the inaugural Estuary Dry Boat Regatta. Hosted by Villawood Properties at the ‘Estuary’ residential estate, teams from the Leopold Football and Netball Club, the Leopold Scouts and members of the Bendigo Bank are creating dry boats to race at the new estate for their chance to win up to $1,000 cash for their club or organisation. An initiative by Villawood Properties, the day will see club teams, each with six members, carry their individual boats they have designed and built themselves, in a race towards the finish line. Prizes will include $1,000 to be donated by Villawood for the fastest team and $250 for the ‘most wacky’ and ‘best presented’ boat designs both of which will be sponsored by the Gateway Plaza Leopold. The fun regatta event is open to the general public and will

be held from 12pm- to 2pm. The day’s activities will include a complimentary barbeque as well as a range of fun family entertainment including an animal farm, jumping castle and face painting. Villawood Properties executive director, Rory Costelloe, said the regatta will be a fun day out for all – both for competitors and spectators. Villawood’s 650-lot community development is quickly making its mark on the local Leopold area with now over 100 home buyers already securing home sites within the estate within the first six months since sales were first released. Now selling land allotments in stage 2B, the estate is progressing quickly with the first new homes due to commence construction as early as August this year.

THE NEXT monthly Drysdale Harvest Basket will be held this Saturday, where members will be treated to an open garden with a difference. Harvest Basket member, Mick Wallis, will open his own garden to current and any new members who wish to join during the fresh produce swap market between 9am and 11am. Wallis will then host a tour of his vegetable garden and provide a wealth of advice on preparing garden beds, planting and growing your own food. The avid gardener has gleaned his knowledge and tips over many years of experience, success, failure, books, other gardeners and a variety of other references. “Some tips work, some don’t, but most are worth a try. If they inspire you to have a go and adopt, adapt, alter or come up with ideas of your own, then it has been worthwhile,” Wallis said. He will share many green thumb ideas, including the value of a second-

hand sink installed near your veggie patch so water and soil goes back into the garden after washing vegetables, hands or pots. The Harvest basket will be held at the SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre in Drysdale and details of the garden tour will be available to members. Visit www.drysdaleharvestbasket.org for more information.

Portarlington rejuvenation welcomed Dear Editor, I for one would like to pledge my support for the wonderful development proposed for 1 Newcombe Street, Portarlington. This type of development, as well as the Safe Harbour and Retirement Village, is well overdue in a town that screams out for some rejuvenation. For far too long development in this town has been stalled by a small number of people who oppose ANY change – most of whom have retired here for the quiet life after living in the city. Some don’t even live in the town. What gives these people the right to deny my grandchildren (7th generation born on the Bellarine Peninsula) employment opportunities in the town where they were born? If my grandfather had the same attitude as these people we would still be riding around in a horse and cart and turning off the lights at midnight. These serial protesters certainly aren’t the voice of MY town. If our councillor would get his head out of the sand and become more accessible to the townsfolk he might find a different barrow to push. Lindsay Ellis Portarlington

Support for the shire of Bellarine Dear Editor, I agree with Peter Cowden in that we should consider reforming the Shire of Bellarine (Bellarine Times April 13). The City of Greedier Geelong takes our rates each year and gives very little in return. It spends it all on the waterfront, the city centre and Kardinia Park, which are irrelevant to many Bellarine residents. We would like to see more emphasis on matters of concern to Bellarine residents, such as occasional grading of the many unmade roads in the area. I would definitely vote for a party which promoted a separate Bellarine council. Margaret Fraser Curlewis

Difference between wants and needs Dear Editor, It seems fairly obvious that the Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, still doesn’t seem to get it. She doesn’t understand the difference between ‘much needed’ infrastructure and wanted infrastructure. Having attended the second verbal submission hearing, it became blatantly obvious that councillors had already made up their minds on running footpaths north-south. At no time did anyone making submissions say that they wanted any special charge scheme, and most were, in fact, against having footpaths at all. Mayor Coker, however, wouldn’t know this as she failed to attend any of the verbal submission hearings (nor did councillor Schroeter). If council listened to the community on the Jan Juc pathways, it must have been with their ears painted on, because they didn’t hear what the overwhelming majority of the Jan Juc ratepayers

were saying. Instead of being patronising, and telling us what’s good for us, its time council respected the wishes of the people and gave us what we want, not what they think we need… and don’t even get me started on the West Coast Business Park! Philip West Jan Juc

A big thank you from Leukaemia Foundation School congestion still a major concern

Dear Editor, The Leukaemia Foundation would like to thank your readers for participating in this year’s World’s Greatest Shave and helping to make it one of the best. So far we have raised over $2.4million in Victoria and we are setting our sights on $3million for the first time ever. As the Leukaemia Foundation receives no government funding, we are reliant on the generous donations of individuals and corporations. The World’s Greatest Shave is our largest fundraising campaign each year and the participation throughout Victoria this year has been phenomenal. We had many inspiring registrants, including Alan Webster who pledged to shave off his 32-yearold moustache if he reached $10,000. Alan went above and beyond his initial goal, raising an astounding $42,000. Money raised from the World’s Greatest Shave will be used to help patients living with blood cancer. It is not too late to be involved – you can take part any time of the year and help to raise muchneeded funds for the 2,500 Victorians projected to be diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year alone. The money we raise will enable us to continue to provide essential programmes such as emergency accommodation, transport to treatment, education, information, counselling and support free of charge to Victorian families, while funding

QUALITY SERVICE from only

Dear Editor, What a contrast there is between David Koch in his deep concern re the very bad congestion in Grossmans Road at school stimes (Surf Coast Times April 13) and his counterpart Michael Crutchfield. At the present time there are 1,415 children enrolled from Kindergarten through to Year 9 – plus teachers. If the need arises at congestion times, where someone is in desperate need of medical attention but the essential services cannot get through the congestion, there would be a huge outcry. The Surf Coast Shire is also at fault, by not planning for the growth in the Grossmans Road area with better road access. Forty years ago I could see the need for better road access, but it seems shire engineers have failed badly in their duties. I always thought that we elected parliamentary members to help with good planning, but with the current government this just seems to be wishful thinking. Prior to the Torquay Primary School move to Grossmans Road they had an enrolment of about 400, yet the residents in two roads – Boston and Bristol – were forever complaining about the traffic during school time. With an extra 1,000 students at Grossmans Road, think how the current day situation compares.

A hidden A Christian tradition secret BY SIMONE MCNAUGHT NEW QUEENSCLIFF Primary School principal, Peter Martella, has described the school as “a hidden secret”. Martella, who has taken up a five-year term as principal, said he was thrilled to be involved with such a community orientated school. Queenscliff currently has 39 students enrolled, however, Martella doesn’t see the small numbers as a negative. “The benefits are huge for our students as the amount of individual instruction and attention that children receive at this school is second to none,” he said. With more than 30 years teaching experience throughout Melbourne and Geelong, Martella said scmaller schools have many advantages. “There are many positives to a smaller school,” he said. “For one, the students all know one another; all grades mix with each other and there is a real

sense of community within the school. “This flows through to the wider school community. We had a fish and chip night last term and every family attended, it’s not often that you see that kind of turn out in larger schools.” Martella accepts there are challenges with a small school, but he said it is about getting the balance of classes right. He encouraged prospective parents to come and see the school at work. The new environmental learning centre has been completed and Martella’s vision is to have the whole school working two afternoons a week on environmental issues based on the local environment. Martella’s mission is to encourage people in the Queenscliff community and beyond to see Queenscliff Primary School as their preferred choice for primary education. For further details, phone Peter Martella on 5258 1696 or email queenscliff.ps@edumail. vic.gov.au

Creatures of comfort AS IT gets colder and darker, keeping up with exercise becomes that little bit harder. Staying curled up in the warm doona seems like a much easier option then getting up for that early morning walk or run. To make matters worse we tend to eat more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;comfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foods in the colder months. It seems like the cold weather makes us crave for warm, hearty and calorie-compounding foods like pastas, chocolate, red wine, cheese and pizza. Not that anything is wrong with these foods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I love a good pizza and a beer or two in front of the TV watching the footy on a cold Friday night. For those trying to lose or even maintain weight, winter can be a dangerous time. By eating more and exercising less we gain weight easily and unnoticeably while we cover

up in those winter woollies. Before you know it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get that swimsuit out again and the kilos have come from nowhere! So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be a creature of comfort over winter, just remember to work them off! Here are some tips for staying healthy over the cooler months: â&#x20AC;˘ Train shorter but harder: Aim for 30 minutes,three to four times a week at 70-80 per cent of you maximum heart rate â&#x20AC;˘ Eat every two to three hours, made up of three meals and two healthy snacks a day If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a member at a gym, there is still plenty of opportunity for you to train at home with a simple 30-minute session, which could look something like this: â&#x20AC;˘ Five-minute warm up walk/jog around the

block â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of 10-12 push ups (on knees for beginners) â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of 10-12 squats â&#x20AC;˘ One minute of skipping â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of 10-12 dips (use a chair) â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of 10-12 shoulder press with dumb-bells (sit on a chair) â&#x20AC;˘ One minute of skipping â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of lunges (10 each leg) â&#x20AC;˘ Two sets of 15-30 sit ups â&#x20AC;˘ One minute of skipping â&#x20AC;˘ Stretch to cool down.

Breakthrough in giving up smoking IF YOU know someone who smokes, chances are you know they will have tried to give up at some stage in their lives. Most smokers can tell you many good health reasons why they should give up smoking; it causes heart, blood vessel and lung disease and causes more than 19,000 deaths in Australia every year. Smokers affect their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health too; infants who are exposed to passive smoking are more likely to develop chest infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

disease and lung cancer in adult non-smokers. The fact is that the nicotine in tobacco is a highly addictive drug and this makes smoking tobacco very difficult to give up. However, there is a new direction in smoking cessation.The most significant change is in recognising nicotine as a drug of addiction, according to Christine Buckley, senior respiratory physiotherapist at Colac Area Health. This recognition, together with the ability to correctly identify the level of nicotine addiction the smoker is experiencing, and then to treat the addiction appropriately, is integral to the success

Children urged take the challenge SURF Coast and Bellarine school teachers are being encouraged to sign up their classes to The Global Children’s Challenge™. The challenge is free and is being undertaken in an effort to improve the long-term health, wellbeing and physical fitness of local children. Research globally shows shocking trends: • An alarming 25 per cent of Australian children are overweight or obese • If weight gain continues on its current path, 80 per cent of all Australian adults and a third of Australian children will be overweight or obese by 2020 • Australian children are ranked as some the most inactive of all developed countries • Obesity is known to be a major contributor to the current type 2 diabetes epidemic. The Global Children’s Challenge™ is set on overturning these unhealthy trends. As part of the challenge, Grades 4, 5 and 6 children in Surf Coast and Bellarine schools would wear a pedometer every day and aim to get over 15,000 steps. These steps are then logged into an interactive website which takes the class on a virtual journey around the world, making exercise fun and educational. The Global Children’s Challenge™ starts in September, but school teachers need to register their interest at www.gccjunior.com before May 31 in order to reserve their school classes a free place in the challenge. Australian Olympic champions, Herb Elliott and Cathy Freeman, are both encouraging schools to take the matter into their own hands and sign up for the free programme. Once registered, teachers and their classes

will have the opportunity to take part alongside thousands of schools globally. “The health of our future generations is at serious risk and it is our responsibility to do our bit in educating today’s youth on the importance of being active, everyone should be getting involved,” Freeman said.

THE NATIONAL Asthma Council Australia has produced a simple online video to demonstrate correct inhaler usage for children using a puffer and spacer. The video, which can be viewed at www. NationalAsthma.org.au shows National Asthma Council Australia asthma educator, Judi Wicking, overseeing a young girl as she uses her medication, with clear sub-titles on screen providing step-by-step instructions. Up to 90 per cent of patients are not using their inhalers correctly. This misuse results in poor medication delivery, which in turn can lead to reduced quality of life, more frequent and longer hospital stays and an increased dependence on their medication. With children, common problems include not shaking a puffer between each dose and putting multiple doses into a spacer, rather than inhaling each individual dose one at a time. “It can be hard for parents or carers who do not use an inhaler themselves to ensure their child is getting maximum benefit from their medication by using their inhaler correctly,” Judi Wicking said. “This short video has been developed to give parents and carers confidence to help their child, especially when they are most in need of medication to aid their breathing.”

“The Global Children’s Challenge™ will give schools the opportunity to make a positive influence on their students’ health and fitness – not only now, but in the long term,” said Elliott. Registrations are now open and will close on May 31. For more information, visit www.gccjunior.com

Joyce celebrates magic milestone ANGLESEA resident Joyce Chalmers joined an elite group when she celebrated her 100th birthday last Friday. Joyce, who is a resident at Blue Cross in Anglesea, became the seventh person in the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong regions to celebrate the milestone this year. She celebrated her achievement with her daughter, Heather, and fellow Blue Cross residents last Thursday. Joyce was born in Melbourne and grew up in Elsternwick. She met her future husband, David, and moved to Balranald in New South Wales to live. They remained on the property until David

passed away. Their son continues to run the property with his family. Joyce was 70 when she got her first driver’s licence, and she used to make a fortnightly trip to Mildura to go shopping. At the age of 82, Joyce joined Heather at Bellbrae, where she remained until she moved to Blue Cross 16 months ago. Not to be outdone, Joyce’s sister, Kathie, is 97 and is a regular visitor to Anglesea to see her older sibling. It was a special day for Joyce Chalmers last Friday when she celebrated her 100th birthday. Photo: MATTHEW STEVENSON

Seniors armed against scams SENIORS throughout the state will learn how to avoid scams and reduce the risk of financial exploitation at a series of free workshops funded by the state government. Minister for Senior Victorians and Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the free workshops would be held in 24 locations across the state to help prevent older people falling prey to monetary mismanagement and manipulation. “We understand that Victorians are concerned about the welfare of the older and more vulnerable members of our community,” Neville said. “Over the past 12 months, our government-

funded Seniors Rights Victoria helpline received more than 500 calls about financial exploitation and concerns are frequently raised in community information sessions. “To address this Victoria University will run free workshops to help senior Victorians understand how to manage and protect their finances. “We want to help seniors protect themselves against the actions of people pressuring them to hand over money or forcing them to sign documents they don’t understand. “The workshops will help senior Victorians avoid becoming the victim of illegal activity and improper

use or mismanagement of their money or property. “They will also include topics such as how to avoid scams, retirement planning, superannuation, and the importance of Wills.” The Seniors Rights Victoria 1300 368 821 free helpline operates from 10am-5pm Monday to Friday and can also be accessed at www.seniorssrights. org.au Seniors Information Victoria service operates 10am-5pm Monday to Friday on 1300 135 090.

Centrepay… manage bills for free Recently I visited the Geelong Centrelink office to gather some information for a client of mine. While there I came across a brochure, Centrepay – Manage your bills for free. This I found most interesting and for our first article I would like to briefly share some of the information contained in the leaflet. Centrepay is a free direct bill-paying service offered to recipients of Centrelink payments. Through Centrepay you can choose to pay bills by having a regular amount deducted from your Centrelink payment. Centrepay is a voluntary service and Centrelink customers who choose to use Centrepay can benefit from its convenience and security. Instead of having large monthly or quarterly bills, they can be paid in manageable amounts from your Centrelink payment, making it easier for you to budget. By using Centrepay you can pay bills like rent, telephone, electricity, gas, water, education fees, ambulance costs, child care, home care services, no-interest loans and rental of household goods.

To find out if an organisation or person is registered with Centrepay you can contact Centrelink or speak to the organisation or person you would like to pay. Remember, this service is free. Centrepay does not charge you any fee to deduct the money from your payment, unlike other methods available for paying bills. The organisation or person to which Centrelink send your deduction is charged a fee and this fee cannot be passed on to you. There is a minimum payment amount for Centrepay deductions and this is $10 per fortnight. However, there are some organisations that require a different minimum amount and you will need to contact the organisation you want to pay if you are unsure of what minimum amount is required. The easiest way to start Centrepay deductions is to telephone your Centrelink office. Some participating organisations can organise your Centrepay deductions for you. You can also go online and use Centrelink’s self service to start Centrepay deductions at www centrelink gov au or alternatively, you can complete a Centrepay deduction form. For more detailed information about the benefits of this service I encourage you to collect a brochure from your nearest Centrelink office.

Industry Info

Hughes’ wave of success What is the median price? IN THE REIV March Quarter Property Update you can read about median prices for Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. The median price of a house in most suburbs is available and if you visit www.reiv.com.au the median price of a unit in many suburbs is also available. In some cases the median price will have increased and in others it will have decreased, but what does it mean if you are an owner, buyer or investor? To understand what the results mean it is important to understand what a median is. The median is not the average. The median value is the middle price in a series of sales, where half of the sales are of lower value and half are of higher value. For example, if 15 sales are recorded in a suburb and arranged in order from lowest to highest value, the eighth sale price is the median price. Median prices are used rather than average prices because median prices are unaffected by a few unusually high or low prices, making them a more accurate indicator of true market activity. The institute collects results from around 70 per cent of all residential property sales in the quarter and publishes the suburb-bysuburb results where we believe the sample is an accurate reflection of the sales activity. In the case when there are less than 30 sales in a quarter for a suburb but it is a reasonable sample, the result is ‘starred’ as there are sufficient sales to make the result statistically reliable. The list of suburbs is based on the list kept by the Victorian Government’s Office of Geographic Names.

THE SURF industry’s loss is the building industry’s gain after Peter Hughes was named the Geelong apprentice builder of the year last week. Hughes, originally from Fairhaven, tried his hand at being a professional surfer before turning to an apprenticeship. The announcement, at the Master Builders Apprentice of the Year Awards at Skilled Stadium, was reward for three years of hard work. “It was a great surprise,” Hughes said. “The teachers told me they had nominated me, and I went and had an interview and I knew the interview went well – but you never know with these things. “I was rapt that the teachers acknowledged my efforts and knew that I was working hard.” The 29-year-old is the son of renowned Aireys Inlet surfboard shaper, Howard Hughes, and worked in his father’s shop after ending his professional surfing career. However, with the onset of winter and the exodus of tourists, Hughes re-evaluated his career path. “I had been competing since I was about 14 and I was on the WQS (World Qualifying Series) for about three years,” he said. “I finished surfing when I was about 23 and came back to dad’s surf shop and started working there as assistant manager. “When it got quieter I thought about labouring around town… I just wanted some kind of qualifications. “I asked the local landscaper and builder and things went from there.” Hughes now works with Aireys Inlet-based Skillbeck Builders and is in the running for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year Award.

Master Builders careers pathways officer, Jarrod Flanigan, said the apprentices demonstrated diligence, determination and attention to detail. “The Geelong Section Apprentice of the Year must be nominated by an employer or a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and then work through a lengthy selection process,” he said. “The employer-nominated apprentice of the year is selected from a pool of apprentices nominated by local members of the Master Builders Association. “These two are then shortlisted for the

state award. “Several criteria are considered by the judges. Winners must be safety minded and demonstrate an interest in further studies as part of continuous career development. “Importantly, judges are looking for exemplary apprentices who can send the right messages to new and future apprentices about what can be achieved by completing a trade. “Well done to the winners and I wish them all the best for their future careers in building.”

WRECK OF THE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;JOSEPH H SCAMMELLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CONT.: Extracts from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;History of Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by James A Baines 1938 About midday of Friday, the day after the vessel struck, the top-gallant mast was carried away, and later in the afternoon, the upper portion of the masts fore and aft snapped off, dragging away the rigging. The little sail that was being carried, when the ship struck was blown about with the wind and torn to ribbons, and at 5 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the evening the foremast was hanging over the side. There was every indication that before morning it would go by the board owing to the fearful bumping of the ship with every wave. Nothing was saved from the ship by those on board, except clothing they were wearing at the time. Even the captains instruments were left behind. On Friday evening the Captain came into Geelong, followed by the crew and put up at the Union Club Hotel.

Does your builder offer a 100% Building Ethics Australia guarantee? Building Ethics Australia (BEA) was formed in 2001 after the HIH collapse. The turmoil that followed was the catalyst for the founders of BEA to implement a system for the building industry that promotes fairness, ethical behaviour and aspires to enhance the image of the building industry. BEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to allow reputable builders to trade unhindered and enable homeowners to have their homes built with the peace of mind of knowing their builder is prepared to stand his work up to the independent scrutiny of BEA. Michael Dahm of Blue Cove Homes believes so passionately in the programme that he was 100% confident his building practices would conform to the rigorous criteria. He is one of the few Geelong builders to have BEA accreditation. The BEA programme ensures building standards are high and builders and homeowners alike are treated fairly. This recipe builds confidence in the industry. BEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality assurance programme provides the highest level of consumer protection in the industry today. How? Simply, accredited builders subject themselves to critical independent site inspections during the construction of your home at progress payment stages. Importantly, when you appoint a BEA accredited builder, you only make progress payments after having received a BEA authority to pay certificate. This confirms that an independent inspection has been carried out prior to every progress payment stage, verifying all aspects of your building project. To find our more and to receive your copy of the building ethics guarantee, contact Blue Cove Homes on 1300 858 228 or e-mail office@ bluecovehomes.com.au

Growlers goes French A PARISIAN party will hit Growlers next week when all things French are celebrated at the Torquay establishment. For one night only, Growlers will be transformed into a French restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; complete with flair, live entertainment, wine, and, of course, fine food. A specially prepared five-course meal will feature on the evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be held on Wednesday, May 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while renowned French guitarist and entertainer, Ced Le Meledo, will provide the entertainment. Le Meledo was born in Paris and has been an Australian resident for the past decade. He is renowned as a great live entertainer and with his mix of Spanish guitar, French singing and accordion playing, he will ensure an authentic French flavour on the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really looking forward to it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a great idea and I am hoping that we can create a real French atmosphere with the music, entertainment and the food that will be on offer.â&#x20AC;? Although he was born in the French capital, Le Meledo has a rich provincial heritage flowing through his veins. His father was from Brittany while his mother was born in Provence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brittany is a very Celtic part of France, while I will also have some songs from Provence, where my mother was from,â&#x20AC;? Le Meledo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always interested in music when I was growing up, however, neither my mother or father were musically inclined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I am not sure how I really came to get such a strong connection with music, but it has been a part of my life for a long time.â&#x20AC;? A regular entertainer at festivals throughout the country, Le Meledo said crowd interaction will play a big

part in his performance. He also said that while the majority of his songs will be performed in his native tongue, he can accommodate those who would prefer a song in English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the songs will be performed in French, with a little bit of Spanish and Italian as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can sing in English if requestedâ&#x20AC;Ś so we will see how the crowd is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also like to chat with the crowd throughout the performance. I like to let them know a little bit about my background and make it interactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also encourage people to get up and dance throughout the performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is a lively show and I hope thee people enjoy themselves.â&#x20AC;? Apart from Le Meledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livee entertainment, food and fine wine will ll feature prominently on the evening. On arrival, guests will be treated to o a glass of Champagne, before settling g in for a specially prepared five-coursee

French feast. After canapĂŠs, diners will be treated to a typically French menu, highlighted by French Onion soup, Coq au Vin, grilled trout and rib-eye steak. Cost is $65 per person and bookings are preferred. For more information, drop into Growlers at 23 The Esplanade, Torquay, or phone 5264 8455.

THE PLATE

with Mary-Ellen Belleville

A dish for the blokes to cookâ&#x20AC;Ś. THESE cooler autumn evenings leave me hankering for the last remnants of cooking outdoors before finally covering the barbecue with the onset of winter. So while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still been able to enjoy some fairly balmy days and super sunsets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timely for one last fling of firing up the wood barbie and setting the men folk to the task of cooking a spanish dish that is traditionally cooked by menâ&#x20AC;Ś paella. Traditionally a lunchtime meal cooked out in the fields where perhaps the last tasks after the grape harvest were being seen to, paella really should be cooked on an open fire, using vine cuttings and trimmings for from fruit trees. This type of fuel creates a very hot, but smoky fire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smokinessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that is part of the character of paella. The dish is also so named because the pan in which it is cooked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a wide metal pan with deep sides is called a paella â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it should have a good heavy base to disperse the heat evenly. Invented in the Valencian region in the mid-19th century, there are many regional variations. Several

pronunciations are also possible: pie-ella for the English-speaking gringo; pie-eja in the Spanish north and some Latin countries; and pie-eya for the educated purist. Traditional recipes also demand the addition of snails, but I have read that you can substitute several sprigs of rosemaryâ&#x20AC;Ś thank goodness! Apparently if you were going to use snails in the paella, you would purge/feed them on rosemary a couple of days before tossing these little critters into this classic rice dish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hence you are still introducing the flavour by using rosemary. The other ingredients can vary, but usually paella does have either chicken or rabbit, some shellfish such as mussels and prawns, perhaps some calamari. One ingredient it must be made with is saffron, which gives the rice its delightful autumnal gold colour.

rice, add salt and pepper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a good paella is well salted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and let the ingredients cook slowly over the fire, usually for 20 minutes. Add the stock only when the paella starts to burn. It is important not to boil the rice; the stock is only used to stop it sticking. Finally garnish with the calamari, mussels and prawns. Good paella should not be soggy; and although it does take a little bit of time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic dish to share with friends over a long Sunday lunch. It also makes a welcome change from the barbecue, while adding to the culinary skills of the man about the house. What could be more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blokeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; than standing around a cheery, hot smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fire, tending to it with small twigs, a cold beer in hand while letting the paella bubble away merrily in its pan?

Experience the joy of singing BELLBRAE Hall will host an evening of Singing for Fun with special guest, Anni Coyne, this Friday night. Daylesford-based Coyne will bring her wealth of experience in singing and leading groups to Bellbrae for an evening of song and fun. The evening will start at 6pm and run through until 8pm, and along with singing there will also be a light meal and tea and coffee – all for the bargain price of $10, or $7 for concessions. Singing for Fun is open to anyone – no matter what your level of singing ability. The group provides a chance for everyone to sing like nobody’s listening, and gathers the last Friday of every month not to rehearse, but to sing for the enjoyment of singing as a group. “Everybody can sing. Singing as a group can lift hearts and minds, filling a room with the sound of many voices,” said the group’s Michele Barnes. “This month sees a special guest leader joining the group, the joyful Anni Coyne, travelling from Daylesford. “When leading any group of singers she does so with such infectious warmth it is near impossible not to be caught up in the vibrancy and life of her presence. Most of all, she feels it is important to inspire a sense of fun and accomplishment.” Bringing with her a wealth of experience in singing and leading singing groups, Coyne creates a fusion of voices with short, easy-to-learn pieces, or just her unique ability to blend voices in harmonies

HAVING recently re-discovered my love for Italian wines again (Italy was where I originally caught the wine bug way back in the early 1990s backpacking around Europe), I thought I’d revisit a great little value label with a great story from the southern ‘heel’ region of Italy – Puglia. The label in question is named A.Mano, which means hand made, with the wines being entirely hand crafted from indigenous grape varieties. The A.Mano story starts with American winemaker Mark Shannon. Mark was working at a winery known as Calastri in Sicily in the late 90s until one of Australia’s big wine producers – BRL Hardy – took equity and installed Australian winemakers. What to do? Meanwhile, Mark had met and fallen in love with Elvezia Sbachiero who also worked at Calastri. The story goes that Elvezia had an old uncle – ‘Giovanni’ (of course!), who had a disused winery in Puglia at San Marzano. The enthusiastic and energetic pair thought they could make a go of things – now that Mark was out of a job – by making some wine by purchasing grapes from Giovanni’s contacts with the local Contadini (old ‘peasant’ farmers). Of course this group had nothing but very old, dry land, low yielding, ‘sensational’ Primitivo grapes. But money was short. So, they got on the dog and bone and rung around a few wine merchants and through a number of Empson agents – Neil Empson himself (famous Italian wine importer) – agreed to pre-purchase some wine (they loved it!), and the rest, as they say, is history. Mark’s passionate professionalism has achieved a winning combination of California-style technology and Apulian tradition and terroir. The vines are 70-80 year old hand cultivated and low yielding, still head trained as they were by the ancient Phoenicians. Fast forward to the present, and these latest releases really excite… read on.

A.Mano Puglia Primitivo 2007 ($22)

This is just the thing to kick start your interest (nay, love affair?), with Italian reds if you haven’t already indulged. This wine is vibrant, juicy and soft with rich, chewy raspberry/blueberry notes and leather/anise characters making it such an easy ‘drink me’ Italian red. There’s enough savoury edge and complexity to please any Italian aficionado. Crank up the pizza oven and crack open a bottle – salute!

Mon–Fri Lunch Specials

OPEN 7 DAYS

A.Mano Puglia Fiano - Greco 2009 ($22)

Mmm… the fact that this wine features one of my favourite white grape varieties of the moment – Fiano – was immediately impressive. Add in the eye-catching presentation and my appetite is certainly whet! Straight away, this wine was so drinkable, with the more aromatic nuances of the Fiano highlighting the complex blossom/musk characters on the nose, whilst the Greco (another classic southern Italian white grape variety), fills out the body of the wine and adds a mineral note to the wine. Together, the two blended varieties show beautiful texture and richness that belies its price point. This is a great wine for those looking for something new and interesting when it comes to white wine… check it out.

PREPARATIONS are well under way for Anglesea Performing Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upcoming play, The Medea Project. With less than four weeks to the opening show, the experienced performing arts company has been rehearsing two nights a week to have the production ready for the May 20 unveiling. Under the watchful eye of director Iris Walshe-Howling, the cast of 10 has worked tirelessly to have the production at its best. The Greek tragedy of Medea is about a woman who is betrayed by her husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the play explores the notion of trust, revenge, love and desire. It asks what brings us to make the choices we do in life? What does it mean to be marginalised from society? Why are there different rules for men and women?

BY NATHAN HALE FOR AN unforgettable evening of entertainment, Queenscliff’s Blues Train has got your night covered. The legendary train – which provides a unique experience as it gently rocks its way along the Bellarine Rail Trail – has been keeping punters happy for almost two decades. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the Blues

Train is the brainchild of Hugo Armstrong – the current chair of Tourism Bellarine. The train holds 200 people split over four carriages, where over the space of three hours they will experience four high-class acts. Starting at Queenscliff, patrons begin with pretrain drinks and a meal before settling back and enjoying some of Australia’s finest acts. Drinks are available from the T-bar in the guard’s van before the train starts, as well as at all stops –

there are no bars in the carriages, however, drinks are permitted on the train. The train runs along the old Geelong train line, stopping at Suma Park historic homestead and winery, then at Drysdale before turning around and making its way back to Queenscliff, again via Suma Park. The train runs between August and May, and is invariably sold out months in advance. All five shows scheduled for next month are

already sold out, however, bookings for the 20102011 season are now open. Acts who have appeared on the train include Jimi Hocking, Andrea Marr Band, Jaimi Faulkner Band, Collard, Greens and Gravy, Ash Grunwald, Kerri Simpson, Mia Dyson, Chubby Rae and the Elevators, Chris Wilson and Dallas Frasca and her Gentlemen.

OCEAN GROVE TILING THEIR partnership might only be a little over 12 months old, but already Simon Thorn and Mark Kupper have become trusted tradesmen on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. The pair are joint owners of Ocean Grove Tiling, and have quickly made a name for themselves as reliable, friendly and hard working tradesmen. Thorn started the business five years ago and last year Kupper bought a half share in the business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the pair havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back since. Whether it is a small tiling job on a kitchen or bathroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or a larger outdoor job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thorn and Kupper have your needs covered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do all type of jobs, no matter the size,â&#x20AC;? Thorn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one lady who rang up and said that other people had said the job was too small.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went around and had a look and found that it was just a nice sized job for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whether it is an indoor or outdoor job, big or small, we will come around and provide a free quote and then be happy to do the work.â&#x20AC;? Ocean Grove Tiling will travel throughout the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Geelong region to provide their reliable service, something Kupper is more than happy to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved down here for the sea change,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoy it down here and can see myself retiring hereâ&#x20AC;Ś travelling around to the different places for jobs is a great way to see some of the sights.â&#x20AC;?

APR 27 - MAY 03 2010 Saturn and Uranus are opposite each other again this week – the last time was back in September. Concentrate on the things that are working in your life and do all you can to solidify them, but don’t get stuck in a comfy Capricorn rut. People, attitudes and habits that have passed their used-by date will definitely have to go.

The Full Moon stimulates your intimacy zone, so it’s time to snuggle up with someone special. Single Rams – if you come on too strong, you’ll scare potential partners away. At the moment, slow and steady wins the romantic race. Don’t jump to half-baked conclusions on Sunday – make sure you find out the full facts first.

Pace yourself Cancer. If you can, avoid making important decisions as you’re liable to make choices based purely on your emotions, which are fluctuating wildly under this week’s full moonbeams. Your intuition is switched on big time, as you tune into those around you and uncover important information that others miss.

Have you been shopping up a storm when you should have been saving or paying off debt? If the answer is ‘yes’ then you can expect financial fiascos, as the Full Moon stirs up your money zone. Your motto for the moment is from Bertrand Russell “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.”

Taureans are fabulous flirters and this week, with the Full Moon activating your relationship zone, you’ll give those charisma muscles a workout as you radiate your sensual charms far and wide. Want more love and success in your life? Flutter those eyelashes (or flex those Bullish biceps) and you shall receive!

It’s not the best time to host a jolly family reunion or bring up sensitive childhood issues. The Full Moon falls in your home zone so be on domestic drama alert. Confiscate all sharp implements and choose your words carefully, as loved ones are liable to make mountains out of molehills. Creative communication is the catch-cry at work.

Things will be pretty full-on at Casa Scorpio this week as the annual Full Moon (in your sign) increases your magnetism – and your tendency to brooding, obsessive behaviour. So you’ll need to find appropriate ways to let off steam, and challenging projects to channel all your intense energy into. Resist the urge to be sarcastic.

There’s a tug of war continuing between Saturn (planet of the status quo) and Uranus (planet of change). You’re feeling super restless but don’t go overboard and throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Full Moon will also imbue you with a sense of urgency but gradual, structured modifications are what’s needed at the moment.

Twins are rarely short of inspiring ideas, and are masters at multitasking. But you can have trouble seeing projects through to a successful completion. With Mercury moving backwards (until May 12) it’s time to revise and re-do, plus complete unfinished projects and tie up loose ends. No excuses Gemini – what are you waiting for?

Villa Virgo is usually a place where efficiency reigns, routine is revered, and surprises are unwelcome. This week you’ll find that life’s complicated, partnerships are unpredictable and the rules are constantly changing, as relationship difficulties (that weren’t resolved last September) come back to test you.

A Full Moon doesn’t usually throw you! You love the rush of energy it brings so use it to shine a spotlight on your hidden strengths and secret dreams for the future. You’ll hear some startling news this week that will make your ears burn but think twice before you pass it on. Focus on bringing professional projects to a successful conclusion.

It’s time to channel the intrepid explorer within and plan a weekend escape or overseas getaway (where you can be close to water and commune with nature). On Friday, don’t let a so-called friend lead you up the primrose path to Piscean trouble. If your inner voice tells you someone is not the real deal, make sure you listen!

Super start for Coasters SURF Coast made a great start to the 2010 Victorian State League soccer season with some good wins in the opening round. Men Provisional 3 The Surf Coast FC Men’s Provisional 1 team scored an exhilarating 3-1 win against the highly rated Epping. Despite going down a goal early, Surf Coast quickly settled, putting one of its own in the back of the net courtesy of driving goal from barnstorming winger, Ian Crane. A fierce end-to-end battle then began, before Crane followed his first goal with a second, driving both the keeper and the ball into the net in steamroller fashion. Crane continued this pressure throughout the day, with great tackles and driving moves forward, always making the opposition edgy when they tried carrying the ball. For Surf Coast, Reece Manning, Jarrad Cayzer and Adrian Bond hardly put a foot wrong all day. In the midfield Hector Nunez had an outstanding game, ably supported by Ben Lecornu and Jordan White, while Matt Roberts scored the final goal.

The recommendation (as per agenda published on the Surf Coast Shire web site) being considered by council is “that council provide in principle support to licence RACV to harvest stormwater from Jan Juc Creek catchment for 10 years with an option of 10 years (exercisable after extensive review to determine the effects on the creek) subject to conditions...”.

Golf tips – from Sean Charleston (AAA) PGA Professional. Alignment is a very important aspect of the art of putting. The golfer’s shoulders must be square to their target. To ensure your shoulders are in the correct place, place your putter shaft across your chest with the butt of the putter grip facing towards your target. Use the putter shaft as a guide to ensure your shoulders are square to your target. Go to your local course and try this tip. Junior clinics will commence on Tuesday, April 27, between 4.30 and 5.30 for a seven-week period. Spots are still available. Please contact the Pro Shop on 5258 1523.

There is no need to complete an entry form but remember for the final round on Sunday, May 16 the leaders will be seeded, with D-grade players the first to hit off from around 11.30am. Sunday, May 2 is the final round of the mixed foursomes championships. Tim Sinnott and Ainsley McCallum are leading the gross event, with Gordon Collis and Jenny Cottrill leading the net event. Wednesday’s event was a 4BBB multiplier which is a real test of friendships. There is nothing worse than when your partner proudly walks off with a four pointer but you walk off with a wipe. Even worse is when the scorer still believes four times zero equals four. Runaway winners with 94 points were Wayne Nischke and Ron

Cronin. Runners up with 83 points were John Berridge and David Steed. NTP’s went to Ron Cronin, Max Simpson and Keith Minney. Keith also won the jackpot. Congratulations to Trenton Frost who last Friday had a net 59. Saturday produced some tough conditions with the strong north westerly wind prevailing right through the day even though this scribe believes the morning players copped the worst of the conditions. Div 1 winner was Nick Ivens with 39 points from John Brunt 38. In div 2, Stephen May with 38 beat Matt Malone 37. In div 3, Tony Jones 42 won from Tony Mensch 40. Ross Martin with 42 triumphed over Doug McGregor on c/b in div 4. NTP’s went to Matt Kofoed, Rod Chappell, Greg Brinsmead. Jackpot was won by Paul MacColl.

Anglers have a new guiding light to inland waters

Victorian anglers have long been familiar with the Guide to Inland Angling Waters of Victoria which was first written and published in 1976. Now the executive director of Fisheries Victoria, Anthony Hurst, says a new online version of the guide has been released at www.dpi.vic.gov.au/ angling Now to be honest I had never looked at this guide to inland fishing before, but I have to say I will be referring to it more often. It’s a handy reference source, especially if you want to use it to look up our local inland waters in our area.

History

While looking up this guide I found a very interesting photo of the Anglesea River (see picture). You will see from the picture that this shot shows the river is low with the tide obviously out, which means the mouth was open to the sea. That means that this photo shows the estuary system actually functioning as a tidal system. Now days, the only time the system is opened is when the council decides to do so when infrastructure is at risk from flooding. All fishermen know when you have an estuary open to the ocean you create an environment in which a larger number of species can use the system. This leads to a healthier and better river system with a greater diversity in marine life using, living and breeding in the system. Approximately 30 years ago, as the story goes,

a stonewall was built across the mouth of the Anglesea River to stop its flow direct to the ocean. The story varies in many ways as to how and why this was built and as to who was responsible for its construction, the story also varies in to how it was destroyed, including locals undermining it to the more dramatic suggestion of them blowing it up! However, the fact is the wall was built and destroyed and the remains of the wall still lay buried under the build up of sand across the mouth of the river is thus partly responsible for the system not functioning of its own accord and operating in the manner it should. The river is one of the top bream fishing rivers in our region, where you can almost guarantee you will catch a bream, regardless of its size. However, others can remember back to the days when whiting, trevally, mulloway and other species where in abundance in the system and coexisted in this estuary alongside the bream. There have been numerous discussions on the Anglesea River and there will continue to be more I’m sure. Maybe one day different fish besides bream will return.

Big year of soccer kicks off THIS year is a big year for soccer around the world, with thousands of soccer fans expected to flock to the 2010 World Cup Soccer taking place in South Africa in June. A surge of interest in soccer is also very much in evidence on the Surf Coast, with the 2010 season having kicked off over the weekend and membership of the Surf Coast Football Club growing in leaps and bounds, especially amongst the junior players. The Quay in Torquay has come alive on Saturday mornings with hundreds of budding young soccer stars as young as four, who are turning up in their soccer gear for the very popular Small-Sided Games and Academy programs, run by the club’s players. Surf Coast FC is now the fastest growing
