Boost for Bellarine vineyards as Leura Park Estate signs major deal with Brown Brothers

BY ALISON MARTIN

LEURA Park Estate grapes will be sold to major Australian wine producer, Brown Brothers, in yet another coup for the Bellarine’s vineyards.

The wine growers have also completed installation of a state-of-theart new winery on site at their Curlewis vineyard. The winery will be activated for the first time this week with the first harvest of grapes for vintage 2010.

Director of Leura Park Estate, David Sharp, said the new winery facilities encompassed all production stages – from grape to bottle – and would lead the way in new world winemaking under the watchful eye of winemaker Ray Nadeson, Australian Winemaker of the Year finalist 2009.

“Although our focus will always remain on boutique, small batch handling with a view to preserving and enhancing the natural fruit characteristics, the new technology will provide dynamic efficiencies,” Sharp said.

In a huge month for Leura Park, the new winery opening has coincided with the Brown Brothers’ contract.

Brown Brothers viticulturalist, Mick Griffith, said the company had researched a number of premium vineyard regions in Victoria looking for extra cool climate Chardonnay grapes and was won over by the Bellarine.

“We target vineyard sites with natural vigour restriction, inherently low cropping levels and very well balanced vine growth,” Griffith said.

“We were very impressed with the Leura Park Estate vineyard and the operation as a whole.”

‘Patricia’ is a high-end Brown Brothers premium range of wine, and is named after the company’s matriarch.

The Patricia range retails between $40 and $60 per bottle and is found only in exclusive restaurants and cellars throughout Australia.

Sharp said the Brown Brothers contract was an honour and gratifying for both the vineyard and the Bellarine.

Leura Park Estate director, David Sharp, and vineyard manager, Andrew Mahoney, admire the Chardonnay grapes which will go to Brown Brothers for its premium ‘Patricia’ wine range.

“The Bellarine has always been renowned for the quality of its Chardonnay and to be selected for consideration in the Patricia range is serious confirmation that when it comes to fruit and wine quality, this region is up there with the best in Australia,” he said.

Sharp said the Brown Brothers contract was a credit to Leura Park Estate’s vineyard manager, Andrew Mahoney.

Surf Forecast

“The vineyard is extremely well maintained in all aspects – soil, water consumption and grape integrity is monitored on a daily basis to ensure optimum vintage results,” he said.

Bellarine Tourism chair, Hugo Armstrong, said the region had offered the whole good food and wine experience for a while but the work of local wineries was “pushing the Bellarine up there in an extremely competitive market”.

Local wineries have won significant national awards recently, while Spray Farm’s A Day on the Green brought a new, younger crowd to the Bellarine.

Bellarine wines will be showcased on February 28 at Federation Square, as part of a special event to promote the Bellarine Taste Trail and other local attractions. Just weeks later, local wines, produce and culinary skills will be shared when Kilgour Estate, Bellarine

Estate and Oakdene host events for the 2010 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

Armstrong said the Bellarine wine industry’s achievements were creating a focus on the Bellarine, across Victoria, interstate and internationally. However, he said it was important that people who lived on the Bellarine also experienced the great food and wine on offer.

“There is so much right here in front of you,” Armstrong said.

Nominations have opened for the 2010 Impetus Youth Awards, which recognise and celebrate the fantastic and diverse achievements of young people across the Geelong region.

Now in their third year, the awards aim to acknowledge all those young people who make significant contributions to their communities across many fields, including education, leadership, sport, culture, the arts and the environment.

There are 13 categories for awards, which recognise both the individual and group efforts of the many young people who have shown initiative and leadership in their areas of interest.

The successful nominees will receive a $500 contribution towards their community work, field of study or nominated charity. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony to be held during National Youth Week, on Thursday, April 15 at the Geelong Conference Centre.

Nominations are open to young people aged between 12 and 25 years who live in the Geelong region. If you know a young person who’s achieving great things, be sure to nominate them.

Additional funding of $30,000 for the rotunda renovation has also come from Regional Development Victoria.

Under the project, the iconic rotunda will be returned to its former glory. This will involve the rotunda’s flooring, underpinnings and other supports being replaced to correct a number of structural problems.

The streetscape works will completely revitalise Newcombe Street. Works will include new street trees, extension to the footpaths and the installation of water-sensitive urban design tree pits.

Submissions are being prepared seeking additional funding from Regional Development Victoria for stage two of the project.

Portarlington’s historic band rotunda is about to undergo a renovation as part of new streetscape works, with stage one of the project expected to begin within the next few months.

We’re hoping to put stage one out to tender in April, with the works – costing approximately $550,000.

The city has provided $300,000 for stage one – which will create a new Town Square – with a further $250,000 being provided from the State Government’s Regional Development Victoria Fund.

Indented Head reception woes

BY ALISON MARTIN

Barwon water director, John Bugg, and senior engineer of water supply, Doug Halloran, inspect the new covered water storage near Queenscliff.

Multi-million dollar project completed A $3.5 MILLION project to protect water quality and reduce evaporation in Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale has been completed.

Two 10 million-litre storage basins have been lined, covered and recommissioned to serve the seaside townships.

The two basins are on the same site as a large, open storage on elevated land west of PortarlingtonQueenscliff Road that previously supplied the towns.

General manager of water systems, Carl Bicknell,

said moving to an enclosed system ensured water quality was maintained from treatment plant to tap. “By introducing a closed system downstream of treatment plants, we are better able to protect and control water quality, reduce the need for disinfection and protect against losses from evaporation,� Bicknell said.

Up to 14,000 square metres of high density polyethylene was used to line the basins, with construction carried out between May 2008, and

July 2009.

Staged commissioning of the basins began in July 2009 and was completed in January 2010.

The project is part of an ongoing programme to implement a fully enclosed reticulation system across Barwon Water’s service region.

Pettavel, Montpellier, Alvie and Highton basins have also had covers installed and tanks have replaced open basins at Torquay, Anglesea and Ocean Grove.

TELSTRA mobile phone or wireless internet users experiencing any reception problems at Indented Head could find there is a simple solution.

Telstra Country Wide General Manager, Jodi Manion, said she had received positive feedback from Telstra customers in the Indented Head area following the installation of a new Telstra Next G base station at Taylors Reserve last year.

However she said any Indented Head Telstra customers who had poor mobile should check they had a Next G SIM card and the right handset. “We have many satisfied customers receiving coverage on their Next G mobile phones, so if your phone reception at Indented Head has not improved, you might not have a Telstra Next G phone,� Manion said. “A simple test is to check your SIM card in the back of your phone, it will have Telstra 3G printed on it. If you find your SIM card does not have this, drop in to your nearest Telstra dealer and they can upgrade your service.�

She said Telstra had worked closely with the community, in response to local demand for improved mobile coverage, with the Bellarine’s large number of holiday-makers also benefitting from the new base station.

Mobile phone users can visit their nearest Telstra shop for more information on Next G coverage.

Rod Macdonald turns the first sod of soil with Villawood Properties senior development manager, Phil Hanna, and Estuary estate manager, Alan Smith.

Work on Leopold estate begins

THE FIRST sod of soil has been turned in the development of Leopold’s new Estuary estate.

City of Greater Geelong councillor, Rod Macdonald, did the honours late last week with a golden shovel, which marks the start of construction within the new community.

Located on Melaluka Road in Leopold, the Estuary masterplan includes extensive wetlands, central community park, walking tracks and five hectare sporting oval precinct weaving throughout a residential street plan.

Set to become one of the region’s most sought

after home addresses, Estuary will eventually be home to more than 2,400 residents.

Award-winning residential developer, Villawood Properties, is behind the project, and Macdonald said Estuary will become a great new residential pocket of the growing town of Leopold.

“We are very much looking forward to this much awaited development, Estuary will offer a high standard of residential facilities,” he said.

“The community areas, parks and open space will provide fabulous recreational opportunities for its residents to enjoy.”

Making Victoria FireReady:

Neighbourhood Safer Places.

Only a last resort.

Morrison Reserve, Mt Evelyn, Neighbourhood Safer Place

Neighbourhood Safer Places have been identified in some high bushfire risk areas across Victoria.

It’s important to understand that they should only be used as a last resort.

If your Bushfire Survival Plan has failed and you cannot leave the area, a Neighbourhood Safer Place can provide some protection from radiant heat, but it will not guarantee your safety.

Emergency Services may not be present. Food, water and toilets may not be available. surfcoasttimes.com.au

Remember, if you are in a high bushfire risk area and Code Red conditions are predicted, the safest option is to leave the night before or early in the morning and relocate to a lower risk area. The safest option is also to leave early in the day on Extreme and Severe Fire Danger Rating days. A Neighbourhood Safer Place should only be used as your last resort.

To check if there is a Neighbourhood Safer Place in your area, go to www.cfa.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

Nominate your young champion

CITY of Greater Geelong is calling for nominations for the 2010 Impetus Youth Awards, which recognise and celebrate the achievements of young people across the Bellarine and Geelong.

Now in their third year, the awards aim to recognise all young people aged between 12 and 25 who make significant contributions to their communities across many fields, including education, leadership, sport, culture, the arts and the environment.

Councillor Jan Farrell said the Youth Awards

were about publicly recognising the young people who are contributing to their communities. “Young people often get a bad rap in the media, and the Impetus Youth Awards are about publicly acknowledging the fact that the majority of young people are working hard and making a positive difference in their communities,� she said. “Don’t miss your chance to recognise any young people that you know who have inspired, supported or encouraged you or someone you know – we’d love to hear about them.

“Over the past two years the Impetus Youth Awards have provided the Geelong community the opportunity to showcase the achievements of our young people. “We have been thrilled with the high calibre of nominees, and I look forward to hearing all those great stories again this year.�

There are 13 categories for awards, which recognise both the individual efforts and group endeavours of the many young people who have shown initiative and leadership in their areas of

interest.

The successful nominees will receive a $500 contribution towards their community work, field of study or nominated charity, and Mayor John Mitchell and Jan Farrell will present the Impetus Awards at a ceremony to be held during National Youth Week, on Thursday, April 15 at the Geelong Conference Centre.

To download a nomination form, visit www. youthcan.vic.gov.au or phone the city’s Youth Development Unit on 5272 4699.

Residents have say on new facilities

Minister for Community Development Lily D’Ambrosio (centre) was guest of Portarlington’s Community Building Initiative last week. Joining other CBI project representatives were (from left) Portarlington Neighbourhood House co-ordinator Julie Hyslop and members, Lorraine Stokes, Sue Wilson and Tony Meagher. See full story Page 7.

THE VIEWS of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads residents will play a major part in the formation of new visitor facilities at Taits Point at Lake Connewarre game reserve.

Parks Victoria recently held an open day to allow residents to view the proposed plans for the facilities, and following submissions and feedback, which closed yesterday, plans for the work can get under way.

Barwon River Parklands project manager, Andrew McKinnon, said more than 30 people attended the open day at Taits Point to view concept plans and discuss the proposed new visitor facilities with Parks Victoria staff.

The concept plans cover improved car parking, viewing decks, walking tracks, improved access to Lake Connewarre, and information about natural features and the cultural history of the area. “The feedback we received to the concept plans at the open day was very positive. People overwhelmingly supported improving visitor facilities at Taits Point,� McKinnon said.

“People at the open day were particularly interested in the proposal to install viewing platforms at Taits Point, and were supportive of the opportunity that viewing platforms would provide to see out over the wonderful Ramsar wetlands of Lake Connewarre and Hospital Swamp. “Taits Point is currently accessible to the community, however, facilities are minimal and there is a significant opportunity to establish a destination that showcases Lake Connewarre and the Barwon River Parklands. “We want to provide upgraded and expanded facilities that will encourage more people to come and enjoy this significant area.�

Taits Point is part of the Barwon River Parklands project which aims to create a chain of new parkland along the Barwon River, connecting Geelong to Barwon Heads.

CBI work impresses D’Ambrosio

BY ALISON MARTIN LAST week’s Portarlington Community Building Initiative presentation was one of the first official appointments for Victoria’s new Minister for Community Development, Lily D’Ambrosio.

D’Ambrosio was appointed to the Community Development portfolio on January 19 and attended the CBI function to learn about the progress of a range of state and council-funded projects, including the ferry and neighbourhood house.

She told the local community leaders that working together as a community was the best way to improve liveability in a town and achieve their priorities. “It is your work on the ground that has attracted funding to realise your achievements,� D’Ambrosio.

The presentation was appropriately held at the Portarlington Neighbourhood House, one of the CBI’s success stories over the past three years.

CBI spokesperson, John Rae, said three years ago the community initiative identified five top priorities of Portarlington

The benefits of a ferry between Melbourne and Portarlington were discussed by Minister for Community Development Lily D’Ambrosio, Ferry Group member John Rae, City of Greater Geelong councillor John Doull, Ferry Group member Geoff Henderson and Safe Harbour committee member Graham Shirley.

residents: a ferry to Melbourne, a safe harbour, a retirement village, transport and neighbourhood house.

He said the safe harbour masterplan had been finalised and construction of a retirement village would start this year and the Neighbourhood House was open and well supported.

The minister was updated on the launch of a Portarlington community website and the development of a community network to link more than 50 local groups.

Portarlington Community Association spokesperson, John Turner, said the previous lack of cross communication was also being addressed with weekly emails to share information and encourage a “cohesive community�.

Transport has also been improved, with changes to public bus services and community bus services available weekly for residents with limited mobility and during festivals.

The CBI Ferry Group’s Geoff Henderson informed D’Ambrosio of the continuing work to attract support for the proposed passenger ferry between Portarlington to Melbourne.

He said two ferry berths had been allocated in the harbour plan but the group was waiting for the outcome of a broad survey to indicate expected usage of the alternative transport service.

While unable to make any funding commitments for the ferry or harbour plan, D’Ambrosio said the strength of the CBI was that it allowed the community to make decisions and be “in control�, with an important focus on volunteering.

New look for boutique JO’S PORTSIDE Boutique has become ‘Montana’s’in a fashionable change for Portarlington.

Jo Kennedy sold her business to Sandy and Dean Hillman, from Indented Head, just days before Christmas, and they are all enjoying an exciting start to 2010.

Jo is on her way to France, where she will become an au pair for an Australian family, with plenty of time to mix work and exploring Europe.

The sale of the boutique has also provided a great opportunity for Sandy and Dean to bring even more labels, styles and designs to Portarlington.

Sandy said her eight-year-old daughter, Montana, who attends Portarlington Primary School, had been the inspiration behind the new family business.

She said her entrepreneurial Montana had started selling bags and accessories at markets when she was younger and has a love of the latest fashions.

Sandy has previously worked in retail fashion and has a range of new ideas to introduce at the shop, including themed promotions, a customer-community rewards programme and an ever-changing range of clothing, bags and accessories for all occasions.

Funding a vital boost for register

VULNERABLE people living on the Bellarine are set to receive even greater community support thanks to a state government funding boost.

Announcing an additional $10,000 grant for the Bellarine Peninsula Community Register, Minister for Community Services, Lisa Neville, said the initiative would go a long way to assist isolated residents.

“The Bellarine Peninsula Community Register is a local initiative run out of the Bellarine Police Station in Ocean Grove and staffed by volunteers,” Neville said.

“It does an amazing job linking vulnerable people with their community and I thank all of the volunteers for their dedication and hard work.

“Our $10,000 grant will allow them to continue to play an active role in providing support to those in our community that need it most.

“The registers provide important information about local conditions and safety issues through regular mail outs, newsletters or telephone calls to those who have registered.

“For example, during a heatwave, volunteers may

phone vulnerable people prone to heat stress that are registered to check on their welfare.”

Neville said the state government was providing an additional $1million towards setting up new and expanded existing Community Registers across Victoria, and she urged all Victorians to keep a close look out for vulnerable people living in their community.

“Community Registers play an important role, but it is also vital that we keep an eye on our family, friends and neighbours by regularly checking on them, particularly during times of extreme weather,” she said.

“Community Register funding is still available and we will continue to work with Victorian Police to establish registers at suitable sites.

“I encourage anyone interested in volunteering or assisting in setting up a Community Register in their area with the local police to contact the Office of Senior Victorians for more information.”

For more information about where the closest Community Register is or how to set up a new one, contact the Office for Senior Victorians on 9208 3874 or email enquiries@seniors.vic.gov.au Phil Green, Lisa Neville and Gary Coombes at last week’s funding announcement. Photo: SARAH LAWRENCE

ducks, kayaks and zodiacs, or inflatable rubber craft with outboard motors.

A wild, eight-knot tide swept them out to sea through the Rip as they crossed the bay from Point Lonsdale towards Portsea and Drakopoulos, Wood and Meyer could not be saved.

Ships that were near the area at the time rescued about 70 other commandos, with numerous soldiers injured.

The service will be held at Shortlands Bluff on Sunday, February 21 at 11.30am.

How to lose 44 kilograms

BY SARAH LAWRENCE ONLY 18 months ago, Anglesea’s Sandrina Langston tipped the scales at 107 kilograms. Today, following a lot of hard work and determination, she weighs in at just 63 kilograms.

The remarkable effort of losing 44 kilograms has made Langston an inspiration to numerous others.

Cycling for a worthy cause

BY SARAH LAWRENCE IT WILL be an emotional time for Anne and David Dansick when they ride in the Ballarat Cycle Classic this weekend.

The race supports the Ballarat Cancer Research Centre that the Fairhaven couple has been supporting for the past 18 years.

Their daughter, Ainsley, had a rare form of cancer that consisted of muscle tumours. She passed away in 2001 on her 20th birthday, leaving behind her parents, older sister Shanelle, and twin sister Allison. Ainsley had also been a keen supporter of the centre and has the cell laboratory named after her.

Over the years, the Dansick’s have raised more than $100,000 for the centre.

“We’ve had fashions shows, shopping tours and dinner auctions,� said Anne. “Ainsley supported it when she was alive.

Retail therapy was her favourite. We’ve got lots of supporters, we try to make events people enjoy.�

It wasn’t until 18 months ago that they met Anglesea’s Furio Rovere who was captivated by their story.

With Rovere’s involvement in the Anglesea Cycling and Coffee Club, the group decided to help raise money for the centre as well. Apart from racing this weekend, they have already raised an additional $20,000 for the centre through different events.

If you would like to donate to the cause, visit www.ballaratcycleclassic.com.au, go to ‘sponsor a rider’ and enter the code FUR62.

Keep an eye out for the red devil

BY SARAH LAWRENCE FOR MORE than two decades a little red devil has been zipping around Torquay and Jan Juc. Don’t fear, though, the devil is friendly; he is the logo of Richo’s Building and Maintenance Service.

Steve ‘Richo’ Richardson is the owner of the small business and he believes that having not been chased out of town after such a long time, he must be doing something right.

According to Richardson, he specialises in “all the small jobs no one wants to touch�.

Those jobs range from home renovations, preparing houses for sales, painting, plastering, fixing leaks and other similar jobs.

He has also been involved in building the new aviary and chicken coop at Torquay P-9 College and has been their maintenance man for the last

MOVING

six years.

He has now been joined by his son, Dane, 25, who he has recently taken on as his apprentice. “I take people as genuine, I’m not out to rip people off,� Richardson said. “There are a lot of fly-by-night cowboys out there who say they are qualified but they’re not.

They’re the ones I seem to be following up and it’s costing people double.�

The keen surfer has found that being in the Surf Coast community for more than two decades, he always looks out for locals in need, whether that be giving a senior citizen a discount or donating a spare ladder to Torquay College. “I like mixing with the oldies and sitting down to have a cuppa. They always have great stories to tell when I do work with them,� said Richardson.

To contact Richo’s Building and Maintenance, phone 0402 683 555 or 5261 4166.

Report clears way for new Aldi store SURF Coast and Bellarine shoppers are set to have another option at their disposal after Aldi was given the all clear to build on Torquay Road in Grovedale.

At its council meeting last week, the City of Greater Geelong voted to adopt the recommendations of an Independent Panel on proposed Amendment C185, clearing the way for construction to commence.

Councillor Andrew Katos, who holds council’s portfolio for planning, said Amendment C185

Amendment C185 to an Independent Panel for consideration of the submissions.

Katos said economic evidence demonstrated that a new supermarket in the Grovedale area would deliver a net community benefit to the local area. “The establishment of a small supermarket at this site has the potential to generate an increase in shopper activity at the nearby Grove Plaza shops, and this could mean that in time, these shops may undertake refurbishment,� he said.

provides for the rezoning of the Grovedale site from Business 4 Zone to Business 1 Zone. He said council could now grant a planning permit for the Aldi store.

The proposed amendment was put on public exhibition for a month between July and August last year, and attracted 37 submissions.

Four of the submitters objected to the proposal, citing traffic and pedestrian access issues, and issues relating to strategic planning.

Time for council to serve local residents Dear Editor, I would like to follow up on Rosemary Faris’ comments re: Surf Coast Shire priorities regarding the relative importance that the shire seems to place on easy-target parking and dog-lead fines rather than concentrating on other areas of interest to residents who actually live here.

For one, council is deluded if it thinks that its heralded ‘No cuts, no butts’ policy has had any effect on litter whatsoever.

Every morning I walk along either Jan Juc or Torquay and am appalled by the amount of rubbish, glass and cigarette butts that litter our great beaches (not to mention the amount of dog crap on our trails).

I fill up bags and bags of the stuff and it is no different now to what it was two years ago.

Just like council officers, I also try to avoid picking up the person who has been sleeping on Torquay foreshore for the last four months – but that’s a separate issue altogether.

These skewed priorities are no more evident than during schoolies week when people drink themselves stupid in public, on the beach, using glass.

In fact, council even ‘supports’ schoolies with BBQ’s and the like. I doubt whether fines have ever been handed to a single person in relation to the above issues.

Meanwhile, if you park for too long in one place or have your dog off lead on Torquay foreshore at 6.15am, you’ll get pulled up quick smart by someone in a shire van.

If council really is ‘all about relationships’ as our outgoing mayor said in this paper, our local laws officers would be well served to improve relationships by concentrating on issues that are priorities for residents rather than for themselves.

Combined support wins through Dear Editor, Congratulations to local anglers, clubs and charter boat operators, particularly those along the Surf Coast and on the Bellarine, for the passionate stand they took against the Federal Government’s ban of mako shark fishing.

The petitions, the phone calls to Environment Minister Garrett and the Prime Minister and the public rally at the Torquay Angling Club, which I organised in conjunction with peak fishing bodies, have all contributed to the overturning of the ban.

I was delighted to support the recreational fishing industry in this important cause.

In announcing this nonsensical ban which has caused much upset and anger during the important summer tourism season, the Federal Government

failed to consult with the industry and is to be condemned.

The current Member for Corangamite, in advocating a catch and release policy which would have prohibited anglers from taking home their catch, also failed to understand the issue and listen to anglers.

Corangamite is the proud home of many important fishing communities and they should have been consulted from the start.

Sarah Henderson Liberal candidate for Corangamite

Let’s consolidate the Bellarine Landcare Nursery Dear Editor, In reply to your article ‘Targeting One Million Trees’, I commend Tom O’Connor and the Bellarine Futures Alliance for their aim of growing and planting trees.

However, Bellarine Landcare already has a thriving nursery at Drysdale, which has sold 750,000 native trees and plants, and has 70,000 growing at present.

The nursery is situated behind the Bellarine Secondary College off Belchers Road and is open Monday and Tuesday for clients and volunteers.

The nursery is closely associated with the college, and water for the sophisticated system of tanks and pumps, is sourced from catchment on the school buildings.

We have worked for many years on the Rail Trail planting trees and shrubs, and eradicating pest plants and animals, and have plans for a further 900 plants between Andersons and Banks roads for this year.

Wildlife corridors linking areas of significance has also been a high priority.

Rather than expend valuable resources on setting up a second nursery in the area, wouldn’t it be better to consolidate our efforts?

We all have the same aims, and more volunteers would be made very welcome at the Bellarine Landcare Nursery.

How about putting your time to use?

Dear Editor, I wish to thank Mr Cowden for his weekly report of ‘Urgent Works’ along the Bellarine Bayside foreshore.

all the public assets, parks, gardens, beaches, halls, boat ramps and playgrounds, not to mention all the trees, sites of aboriginal cultural heritage, roads, walking tracks and car parks.

The challenge is not one of willingness, professionalism, ability or intent to do the best job possible, but the challenge of delivering all these public assets and services to the standard expected by the community without any local or state government funding.

We receive no council rates, no tourism levy, no government administration or management funding, all funding for the maintenance, cleaning and upkeep of the foreshore and public assets is received from the operational surplus from the campers who use the Bellarine Bayside’s Holiday Parks.

At times grants are received for specific capital works projects but not for general foreshore upkeep and maintenance, but these are few, and usually require contribution funding, again from camping fees.

So again, I thank Mr Cowden for assisting us in volunteering his time, observation skills and media writing abilities.

I look forward to next week’s editions of the local press so that I can determine whether to allocate the few resources we do have available to another of Mr Cowden’s pressing issues.

Perhaps Mr Cowden would like to assist us further by putting his skills to work lobbying council and government for recurrent funding.

Wheelies for kids?

Dear Editor, Just when are these school administrators going to wake up to the fact that they are creating a generation of children who are candidates for severe back problems in the future?

Chiropractors and physios are the only ones who will benefit in the long run!

I am referring to the enormous weight our kids of today carry in their schoolbags, and would suggest these horrendous backpacks be abolished altogether.

If books and the likes of personal lap tops etc., are to be carried home, school bags of the ‘trolley type’ should be introduced.

I am a carer for my grandchildren and for many years have seen them struggle with these great heavy loads on their shoulders every school day.

I drive my 12-year-old granddaughter to and from the bus stop or pick her up (from high school), to avoid the pressure of an overbearing burden, which she tackles from day to day, as even I find the bag a tremendous weight to carry.

My five-year-old granddaughter has to be escorted to her classroom, and collected every day, as the bag is far too heavy for her young little shoulders to cope with.

Observing all these school children carrying such heavy loads every day is ridiculous and disturbing when the problem could be easily rectified.

It’s time somebody (like myself) spoke up to support the health and welfare of our future generation.

Perhaps other readers may be aware if ‘wheelies’ are being used interstate, but children these days will only adhere to conformity of their school requirements. What about it?

The broad curriculum and established pastoral care programme enhances student achievements and the use of technology is integral with four computer laboratories, laptops and individual laptop programmes.

St Ignatius College has three separate subschool precincts and some common areas across the grounds at Drysdale.

The middle school encourages creativity and rigorous application while ensuring a smooth transition to secondary school.

The distinctive Year 9 ‘Horizons’ programme includes experiential camps and a choice of unique electives.

Music is one of the arts encouraged at St Ignatius College, with a specialist programme offered to students, including Alison Sanzaro, Hannah Rugge, Louis Reed and Shantelle Stimson. Photo: ALISON MARTIN

A book with feeling

HOW TO Heal a Broken Wing is a multi-award winning book from Melbourne-based writer and illustrator, Bob Graham.

As with a number of Graham’s other books, How to Heal a Broken Wing expresses some of his deepest feelings. This picture book is an analogy about children being more curious and aware of the world surrounding them, rather than their parents, and countless other adults.

This story is told with tenderness and packed full of hope and poetry, about a young bird’s journey back to health.

Throughout the book, Graham’s illustrations complement his phrases, through links and the use of a highly active imagination.

How to Heal a Broken Wing is available at Torquay Books , which is situated at shop 1B/9 Gilbert Street, Torquay.

The natural way to heal

NATUROPATH Jarrod Carter continues to establish himself on the Bellarine with his ability to treat a range of conditions.

The 31-year-old works out of three clinics, spending different days in Drysdale, Geelong and Bannockburn to service his clientele.

Carter set up his practice in Drysdale just over 12 months, and has quickly established himself as a trusted face among clients. “The business has continued to build and I am really keen to spend a lot of time in Drysdale as I like the people and the community feel of the place,� he said.

Carter completed his Bachelor of Naturopathy degree with the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences and is well equipped to deal with a number of conditions that may be presented.

Always showing an interest in natural medicine throughout his secondary schooling years, Carter was keen to further himself in the area – so he started his own business.

He is able to treat a number of conditions, including digestive problems, poor or low energy levels, headaches and skin conditions just to name a few. “Digestive problems are one of the things that are quite easy to identify and then address,�

Carter said. “It involves a simple urine test where we see what level of bad bacteria is in the gut, and then we can treat the problem from there.�

Carter is able to treat all ages of patients – from children through to the elderly – and he said that treating each person as an individual case was what made natural medicine so appealing. “Natural therapy looks at treating the cause of the problem and it takes a look at the person as

a whole,� he said. “It looks at what they are eating, their lifestyle, and what can be done or changed to help with the problem. “It can also work in conjunction with other medication prescribed from their GP if they are already on it.�

Dedicated to helping others

healthy living

BY SARAH LAWRENCE WITH more than 10 years’ experience, Wayne Clarke is a friendly physiotherapist who is dedicated to helping clients.

Clarke completed his degree at The University of Sydney and worked in the suburbs of Arncliffe and Campbelltown.

He then moved back to his home suburb of Grovedale to pursue work with the Myer Street Medical Practice in Geelong, before branching out on his own.

He was inspired to go into his chosen career after seeing the work of physiotherapists through his involvement in many sports, including Australian football, tennis and mixed netball.

“At 15 I realised I wasn’t going to play sport at a high level, so being a physio seemed like a way to still have an interest in the health side of things,” Clarke said.

“I have since done some work in the past with football clubs in Sydney and Grovedale who I used to play for.”

Clarke’s philosophy revolves around people keeping fit to prevent further injuries; he has even incorporated a small gym into his clinic.

“The thing I find most is people don’t do enough regular exercise. Stretching and half an hour of aerobic exercise every day with strengthening every second day really helps,” he said.

“I’ve done a lot of work with type 2 diabetes patients and find all of that has a huge positive effect on their health.”

Clarke also indicated many people aren’t aware that they can come into the clinic any time it is open in Hitchcock Avenue “Some people think they have to have a referral to come and see us but they can walk in off the street and book an appointment.”

To book an appointment with Wayne Clarke, phone 5254 1100 or visit him at 2/76 Hitchcock Avenue, Barwon Heads.

a membership kit including a t-shirt, key ring, drink bottle, diary and nutritional information, as well as a monthly newsletter.

Constance decided to become a fully qualified personal trainer three years ago after enjoying the benefits of Step Into Life herself.

“I’m following my passion for fitness, health and living near the beach. I also love helping people,” she said.

“I have previously been involved in fitness rehabilitation and now I specialise in outdoor training.

“The groups are for all fitness levels and ages in a non threatening environment, and each person’s programme is tailored individually.”

The first session is free, and for more information, phone Rose Constance on 8400 2410.

Industry Info

Look who is back in town

BY NATHAN HALE

The cooling off period IN THE last six months more vendors have chosen to sell their home at auction; however, the majority are still sold by private sale.

If you do buy privately, you can, generally speaking, change your mind and cancel your purchase within three business days of signing a contract. This is called ‘cooling off’.

This is not the case with an auction.

Business days do not include weekends or public holidays. For example, if you sign a contract on a Friday after work, you can cancel it up to and including the following Wednesday.

You ‘cool off’ by giving a notice to the seller or, more usually, to the seller’s estate agent.

A simple letter, addressed to the estate agent, advising you are exercising your right to ‘cool off’ and asking for your deposit to be returned is all that is necessary.

It is best to deliver your letter to the estate agent’s office during normal business hours.

Make a note of the date and time you hand over your letter. If you give it to anyone other than the person who sold you the property, ask their name, tell them what your letter is about and to whom they need to give it.

There are some exceptions that rule out cooling off. One of the more common ones is where you obtain advice from a lawyer beforehand.

If you ‘cool off’, the seller can keep $100 or 0.2 per cent of the price, whichever is the greater, from the money you have paid, as compensation for losing the sale.

The estate agent will deduct the amount when returning your deposit.

and he is again happy to be among some familiar faces.

“It is a great place, Torquay, and I am really happy to be back and looking forward to a great year ahead,” he said.

Underlining Menegazzo’s work ethic and ability to achieve results for clients, he was the recipient of the 2009 Barry Plant Real Estate award for the highest priced residential property sold among the group for the year.

Barry Plant offices are situated at 23A Pearl Street, Torquay. For more information, phone Menegazzo on 5261 4001 or 0421 802 203.

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

A FAMILIAR face has returned to the Torquay real estate scene.

After a seven-month sojourn in Mildura, Steven Menegazzo has returned to Barry Plant’s Torquay office.

Prior to his stint in Mildura, Menegazzo had established himself in Torquay, and he is thrilled to be back along the seaside.

“It’s great to be back and I am really looking forward to getting back among friends and catching up with people,” he said.

Menegazzo re-acquaints himself with a Torquay and Surf Coast market which continues to go from strength to strength.

The Barry Plant Group has repeatedly broken record after record over the past 12 months for sales, and Menegazzo is looking at breaking back into the fold after returning mid last month.

“Even in the time that I was gone the market has certainly picked up,” he said.

“It is a really buoyant market at the moment and properties right across the board are selling, which makes it great for Torquay and right along the Surf Coast.

“We are actively looking for more properties and I am looking at re-acquainting myself with former clients.”

Menegazzo has a total of eight years’ experience in the real estate industry, starting off in Melbourne before venturing to Geelong and finally on to the Surf Coast.

The three years in Torquay prior to moving to Mildura saw Menegazzo settle into the community

Tips and traps you need to know about when building a new coastal home If you’re looking to build a new home on the coast the following tips and potential traps to avoid will help turn your coastal dream into a reality.

TIPS

1. Choose a recognised expert who is a specialist in coastal building design.

If you are looking to build a coastal property ensure you speak to a builder and designer who are experienced and have a clear understanding of coastal building design. Suburban or mainstream volume builders often lack the experience, knowledge and expertise to deliver the best possible solution. Blue Cove Homes specialised focus on coastal properties gives them the understanding to deliver award winning coastal homes.

2. Ensure you have access to custom design services.

Custom designing your new home allows the design to be tailored to accommodate your families need and desires. A specialist coastal builder will help you design your home so that all aspects of your desired lifestyle and location are optimised.

Blue Cove Homes have architects dedicated to working closely with you. Clients also have access to a professional interior designer who will assist you in choosing the perfect fixtures, fittings and colours.

3. Ensure your chosen builder has Building Ethics Accreditation.

Blue Cove Homes have Building Ethics Accreditation, which guarantees each job is independently quality inspected at all stages of building process. With no payment made by the client until work is independently verified as completed to prescribed standards.

TRAPS

4. Incorrect use of building products that are not compatible with seaside living.

Building a coastal house is unique and has unique issues to be dealt with. You want your house to look good and maintain that look without constant maintenance. Coastal conditions can be harsh, gardens and landscapes need to be designed differently for coastal homes than they do for suburban homes to ensure that foliage and flowers last. The same goes with building products, incorrect products can quickly break

down and deteriorate under harsh coastal conditions.

5. Not designing your home to maximise the flow of outdoor elements into the home Bringing the flow of the outdoor elements into your house is something that is often overlooked.

Where possible you should try and incorporate the positive elements of the outdoors and bring this into your living environment. This has the effect of reinforcing the sound, smells and ocean breezes you would not otherwise achieve if the indoors was completely shut of from the outdoors.

This is what coastal living is all about, experiencing nature at its very best.

6. Incorrect use of passive solar heating & cooling elements The correct use of passive solar heating and cooling not only makes your house more comfortable to live in, but it dramatically reduces the running costs of your house. Integrating GreenSmart environmental building practices into the design of your home saves money on heating and cooling costs, saves water and the environment.

Unique festival set to deliver

BY NATHAN HALE EXPECT the unexpected and prepare to be blown away – that is the message from Apollo Bay Music Festival patron, Jon Von Goes, as the countdown to next month’s three-day extravaganza continues.

Radio personality, marriage celebrant and music tragic, Von Goes is in his first year as patron of the festival – which will be held from March 26-28 – and he is the first to admit he is like a kid in a lolly shop.

“I have been plugging this festival for years on my radio show on Triple R,” Von Goes said.

“So when Caroline (Moore, festival director) rang me and asked me to be patron, there was no question at all.”

Apart from being patron of the festival, Von Goes will be performing with his reformed 1980s outfit, Aloi Head and The Victor Motors.

The band will play spots on Friday and Saturday nights – as well as being part of the much-anticipated Baystock tribute to Woodstock.

“Aloi Head and The Victor Motors will be making an appearance,” Von Goes confirmed.

“There is likely to be seven of us on stage.

Originally we had four in the band when we

started all those years back but we picked up a few along the way and it will be a reunion of sorts.

“Everyone is really looking forward to it and it is one of those things that you look back at and realise what you had and that you want to do it again.

“Last year I performed four gigs and had five surfs… where else can you do that?

“And rumour has it I am getting my own float for the start of the festival!”

Von Goes also took time out to pay tribute to Caroline Moore and the festival committee for supporting emerging and untried acts, as opposed to taking the easier option of securing a host of big-name performers.

Next month Kasey Chambers, James Blundell and Scottish songstress Eddi Reader are the headlines on the programme, with a host of international and Australian support acts.

“The line-up that Caroline and committee creates is just fantastic – there is something for everyone,” he said.

“They are brave… they put on stuff that they like and although they are perhaps not that big a name, you will stumble across them and they will blow you away. And that’s what I like.

AE WINE | FOOD | GIGS | ARTS

“The freedom you have at the festival also sets it apart from others. You can go there and buy fish and chips and sit by the beach and eat them and pop across to the pub and be back at the festival enjoying great music.

“There aren’t many places that you can do that.”

As part of the tribute to Woodstock, Aloi Head and The Victor Motors will be playing their version of The Who’s Summertime Blues.

Tickets continue to sell fast for the festival, so to avoid disappointment, visit the festival website at www.apollobaymusicfestival.com

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

A century of richly decorated porcelain comes to life at the Geelong Gallery’s Painted porcelain – decorated British ceramics 1750-1850 exhibition.

Currently on display until May 16, the exhibition illustrates the development of style and technique in the manufacture of British porcelain from the mid-18th century to the mid19th century.

CORKS CREW CELLARS

‘Love/hate relationship’ IMAGE is so important when it comes to wine labels – it can make or break a product with out anyone even trying it.

A case in point is these two wines featured below sourced from South Australia which garner reactions from people on first seeing them that are somewhat akin to a love/hate relationship.

Never before have I noticed such polarising reactions by people when shown a wine such as these two. Regardless of their value orientated drink-ability, which I think is pretty good, it seems some tend to be quick to ‘judge a book by its cover’ rather than actually trying the wine.

But then, there are those that go wow and absolutely love the vibrant colours and artwork on the labels… ah, go figure?

Take to the stage in Sydney THE SYDNEY Eisteddfod is calling on all budding stars throughout Victoria to register and compete against some of the best performers in Australia and the world.

The McDonald’s Sydney Eisteddfod provides an opportunity for aspiring performers to showcase their talent, with fantastic scholarships on offer as well.

According to Australian dancer, Stephen McRae, who is now a principal artist with the Royal Ballet, the Sydney Eisteddfod gave him the confidence and discipline to launch his career.

“My time spent at the competition over many years helped me gain a wealth of experience,” he said.

Steve Shillington, McDonald’s vice-president/ regional manager southern region, said he was proud of the contribution the company has made to the eisteddfod over the past 22 years and is encouraging all potential stars in communities across Victoria to register before the closing date.

Categories in the eisteddfod include dance, speech and drama, classical and contemporary singing, instrumental solos and groups, piano and original works. For further information, visit www. sydneyeisteddfod.com.au or phone 02 9261 8366.

Entries close on March 22 and the competition will be start in June.

Darby & Joan South Australian Chardonnay 2008 ($10) Lovely fruit forward style with fruit sourced from the riverland, Barossa and McLaren Vale regions showing rich, textured melon/pineapple characters with surprising depth and breadth on the palate. Considering the price point, it’s a reasonable drink compared to some of its contemporaries… well worth a look.

our view

Darby & Joan South Australian Cabernets 2008 ($10)

The quality of the 2008 vintage shows through with this sub $10 wine. Most of the fruit was sourced from the riverland region in South Australia, but interestingly, a significant portion was also sourced from the much loved Langhorne Creek area as well. Ripe, scented dark plum fruits flesh out the soft, medium bodied palate and make this an enjoyable, easy drinking and versatile red that would be ideal for mid week drinking and BBQ’s etc…check it out!

Autumn festivals, warming meals and cutting the mustard…

THE ONSLAUGHT of autumn makes us turn our thoughts to harvest festivals, squirreling produce away for the cooler months and meals that are more warming as we lean away from the super salads of summer.

Mustard is a wonderfully versatile condiment and its use dates back thousands of years. The ancient Greeks and Romans introduced it to Britain and most of us normally associate mustard with the French region of Dijon… and no wonder.

In 1634, the region of Dijon was granted exclusive right to make mustard. Medieval English mustard was a coarse paste mixed with water or verjuice (the juice of unfermented grapes).

The ‘modern’ fine yellow powder we all know was originally developed by a Mrs Clements of Durham, in the 18th Century.

Mrs Clements was a forerunner of the many wonderfully passionate ‘foodies’ we see at the harvest festivals promoting their range of relishes, preserves, mustards, rubs and pastes.

In the 19th century, Jeremiah Colman began experimenting with mustard seeds in the city of Norwich, which is still the centre of the Colman mustard industry.

The pungency of mustard is due to an essential

oil which is only formed by the action of water on pulverised seeds. White seeds are the most commonly used in recipes and herbal remedies.

Yes, mustard seeds are an irritant, diuretic, a laxative and an emetic. Like hot chilli when you’ve got a cold, or ginger when you feel sick, mustard is said to aid the healing process by unleashing its own onslaught on the body.

The ancient Chinese swore by it, as did King Louis XI. Mustard was originally known as ‘senvy plant’ and was mixed with herbs and verjuice, evolving into the aromatic paste we use today.

Recognition of mustard’s ‘healing properties’ is…well, as clear as the proverbial!

The white seeds are the mildest and are most often used for pickling in the traditional English mustard recipe. Ground into ‘flour’, the white seeds are strongly preservative and are used when making mayonnaise to help prevent it from splitting, as much as to flavour the mayonnaise.

The brown and black seeds contribute the familiar ‘hot’ or pungent flavour of mustard. Black seeds give Dijon mustard its characteristic colour, while the brown mustard seed is often used in Indian cuisine.

Making marvellous mustard When using mustard powder it should be prepared with cold water to make a smooth paste. Hot water or vinegar will inhibit the action of the enzymes and results in a mild mustard.

The chemical reaction that takes place when you add water to the powder is fully developed after about 10 minutes.

Making your own mustard is lots of fun and you can experiment with different herbs and flavours such as tarragon, allspice, peppercorns, mint, chilli, honey, horseradish, even almonds.

The soaking medium you use, be it vinegar, verjuice or red wine vinegar will contribute to variations in flavour.

As a general rule use just enough liquid to cover the seeds and allow to soak for at least 24 hours. The soaking time will vary according to the ‘freshness’ of the seeds. When the seeds are finished soaking, pulverise them for about a minute in a food processor. Less time pulverising obviously results in a grainier paste.

Then you can add whichever other flavorings you want, be it whisky, green peppercorns and lemon zest.

Spoon the resulting paste into small sterilised jars

and there you have it.

Mustard is best made or bought in small quantities and stored covered in the fridge. Dry or powdered mustard will retain its powers provided it does not get damp.

Mustard crust A simple accompaniment to your roast lamb.

What you need Seed mustard Fresh breadcrumbs Olive oil Salt and pepper The method Get the seed mustard, breadcrumbs and a little olive oil and bind the crumbs together.

Season with a little salt and pepper and then pack onto the backstrap of lamb and roast, and is best washed down with a delicious cabernet sauvignon as the evenings draw in, cooler and earlier as the autumn slowly envelopes us.

Oh, and make some time to visit the modern day Mrs Clements at a gourmet food festival soon.

Then, the extraordinary life and great music of one of this country's greatest stars, Peter Allen, comes to life in Tenterfield Saddler in May. Musical Mornings will then return to the newly refurbished Ford Playhouse for the season’s finale in June. The new Great Music Hall production for 2010, Let’s All Go Down The Strand, will wind the clock back to the glory days of 1895 with parlour and comedy songs guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and a spring to your step.

A welcome new addition to the Musical Mornings programme has been the added value and extra dimension provided by delightful pre-show performers and exhibits in the GPAC foyer, presented by the region’s various cultural communities with thanks to Diversitat.

Patrons are also invited to enjoy free tea and coffee before shows, and to stay and chat afterwards over lunch in the GPAC CafĂŠ.

Subscriptions providing discount tickets are still on sale, with single show tickets also available. Phone the GPAC Box Office on 5225 1200 to book your subscription.

FOLLOWING a successful opening with Bagels to Broadway – The Story of Tin Pan Alley, season one of Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s Musical Mornings programme continues in March with the return of the everpopular Annalisa Kerrigan.

Exceptional performances in previous shows in recent years have made her a favourite of Musical Mornings audiences, and now she brings her magical new show, Spirit of Celt, to Costa Hall at the Deakin University Waterfront Campus on Thursday, March 4.

Spirit of Celt is a magical and inspiring mix of Scottish, Irish, and Welsh music that weaves its way through the favourite songs of these nations, including Land of Our Fathers, The Water is Wide, Galway Bay, Flower of Scotland, and many more.

The audience will be asked to join in on occasion, creating sweeping waves of voices singing their best loved songs.

Season One will then continue for two further shows at Deakin’s Costa Hall.

April sees the 50-piece Banda Musicale Italiana ‘Vincenzo Bellini’ performing music and arias from the famous Italian operas as well as non-Italian operatic favourites such as Schubert and Strauss.

CANCER Council Victoria is inviting anyone who has been touched by cancer to share their experiences creatively by entering the internationally recognised Cancer Council Victoria Arts Awards 2010.

Arts Awards was recently selected as the 2009 winner of the Visual Arts and Exhibitions Award category of The Ability Media International Awards for its creative excellence and social relevance.

Cancer Council Victoria spokesperson, Irene Manitta, said Arts Awards is an opportunity for both professional and budding artists affected by cancer to: remember loved ones lost, help others understand the cancer experience and provide a sense of hope for others touched by the disease.

"With one Australian diagnosed with cancer every five minutes, we all know someone whose life has been turned upside down by cancer," Manitta said.

Vanessa makes her mark AS A mark of respect to the people who lost their lives in the Black Saturday bushfires last February, Vanessa Amorosi took time out from the A day on the Green concert to tie a yellow ribbon around a tree in an exclusive photo for ERIK HOLT. Amorosi then took to the stage to wow the crowd with a high-energy performance which included all of her hits.

The A day on the Green concert at Spray Farm at Scotchman’s Hill proved a huge success, with thousands of fans from the Bellarine, the Surf Coast and right throughout the state attending.

Along with Rob Thomas, Thirsty Merc and Rushcutter, Amorosi made the concert an unforgettable day out.

Rabbit Control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lake Connewarre State Game Reserve Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of rabbits. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Wednesday 24 February 2010 to Friday 26 March 2010. Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of rabbit habitat within the parish of Connewarre.

1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parishes are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Operational details may be obtained from Catherine James by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

1. At an Olympics Games Opening Ceremony is the host nation’s team last or first to march into the stadium?

FEB 16-FEB 22 2010 The more you distance yourself from others midweek, the more difficult things will be. Nurturing your professional and personal contacts takes time and commitment, but is well worth the effort. Communicating with a wide range of people will broaden your perspective and make you feel super connected to the world around you.

Rams can be a selfish lot but guess what – it’s not all about you this week! With five planets activating your ‘helping others’ zone, it’s high time you concentrated on the needs of those around you. You’ll also gain good fortune if you are involved with projects from behind-thescenes.

Are you feeling a tad restless? Is your cosy Crab cave starting to look a little predictable and boring? Blame it on plenty of planetary activity in your adventure zone, which will stimulate your travel gene and leave you dreaming of tropical trips and exotic escapades. Better start planning that itinerary (and saving) ASAP!

With no less than five planets firing up your job zone, professional matters are on your mind. Saturn is not giving you an easy time, but that can work in your favor. Your quote for the week is courtesy of Cathy Freeman (born on February 16) “Hurdles help you understand yourself and encourage you to work harder to reach your dream.”

Venus is joining forces with lucky Jupiter, so fabulous opportunities will come your way through interacting with people face-to-face, plus via social networking sites. It’s all about connections at the moment as you extend your circle of influence to include work colleagues, professional contacts and internet friends.

Calling all lusty Leos! With five planets in your sensuality zone, you’re in the mood for love and lust. If you are attached, it’s time to spice up the relationship with a sexy SMS or an erotic email. Single Lions – Cupid has his arrows pointed in your direction and love is likely with a sassy Sagittarian or an amorous Aquarian.

It’s all about love this week. If you are attached, you’re overdue to do something wildly romantic with your spouse. Still single? Make a wish list of all the attributes you’d prefer in the ideal partner; burn the list and send your wishes out into the universe. Then – sit back and wait for your sexy Scorpio soul mate to come calling!

With lucky Venus and Jupiter in your money zone, the gods are smiling on your finances. So it’s a great time to look for work, enter a competition, sign up a new client or finalise a big sale. Aquarians are free spirits but you might actually enjoy being housebound this weekend, as you play Domestic Diva or DIY King.

When it comes to work, a bold and creative approach will shift the stale old energy, get fresh ideas moving, and could lead to an exciting job opportunity. It’s time to pluck your ideas and dreams from the thought plane and put them into practice in the real world. Dreaming about something isn’t the same as actually doing it!

Partnerships should be a pleasure this week, as Venus and Jupiter encourage affection, companionship and generosity. With a combined head and heart approach, you’ll easily win friends and influence people. You’re also more demonstrative with your feelings – perhaps it’s time to open your heart to someone special?

Venus boosts your charm and Jupiter bolsters your confidence this week. And, whether you are building, renovating, redecorating, gardening, entertaining or just preoccupied with a handful of kids, you’ll be happy to hunker down at home. “He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.” (Goethe)

Welcome to Planet Pisces! With five planets in your sign – including lucky, optimistic Jupiter - there are no excuses for not putting your dreams into action. Be inspired by birthday great Michael Jordan (born on February 17) “Some people want it to happen, some people wish it could happen, others make it happen.”

FROM THE ANGLESEA

THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club congratulates the winners of the recently held annual club events, including John Gray in the men’s 100 Up and June Christie and Heather Chalmers in the women’s pairs.

The final night of the annual ‘Twilight Triples for Triers’ competition this season will be well remembered by many.

Not only for the excellent standard of bowls played, but for the downpour of rain that temporarily flooded the synthetic greens and caused play to cease early. But this did not dampen the spirit in the clubhouse where the sausage sizzle, drinks and light refreshments enabled everyone to enjoy the extended time to socialise.

The aggregate winning teams after the five week competition were: Blue Section – Local Heroes (Ryan Calvert, Keizia Holbery/Morgan, Luke Chezanowski) Red Section – Moshalu (Darren Wylie, Chris Bird, Warren Heinem)

Thank you to the local Bendigo Bank who sponsored the event.

The perpetual trophy, donated by the Leeman family, for the bowler with the highest number of touches was won by Andrew Rankin.

The next Chicken Run will be held on Friday, February 19 at 3 pm.

This is a great opportunity for limited members to come along and bowl with some of the more experienced bowlers in a casual fun game. Remember to put your name down on the list at the club by 2pm. The afternoon concludes with a barbecue and members’ draw. You must be at the clubhouse to claim your prize – some come along and join in the fun.

A reminder to all women: the annual Anglesea versus Torquay Shield Day will be played at Torquay this year on Thursday, February 25 February, starting at 10.30am.

All players should notify their respective club of their availability as soon as possible.

REPORT

BY GARRY KERR

THIS week’s report is a special one; you see it was my 25th wedding anniversary and after more than two decades of marriage to a bloke who loves his fishing, I figured the time was right for my lovely wife to share in my passion further with me.

Now, you tell me, what fisho wouldn’t enjoy going fishing on his 25th wedding anniversary if he could?

Of course, this all sounds good in theory but making it happen and getting my wife to agree, well that was another story.

You see my wife had never been out game fishing before, and when I told my kids my great idea, let’s just say they were less than enthused with the concept – I admit even I had a few doubts.

After all, as the old saying goes: Going ‘Game Fishing’ is going fishing with the boys on her birthday!

My unsuspecting wife, knew only, that she was going out on a boat from Queenscliff (she assumed it was the ferry) and that I had a surprise in store for her during the day. The key here was dropping hints, which allowed her own mind, to conjure up worst case scenarios, such as swimming with sharks (she hoped at least in a cage) or jumping out

of an aeroplane (she prayed, with a chute).

With much organising, and help from the guys at Gamerec Charters, all was in place.

Upon arrival, I said, ‘We’re here’ and it was at that moment she saw the boat and crew yelling out ‘Welcome!’.

Not only was she extremely relieved, but also happy, because it was just one of those days when the sun shone, the wind and the ocean were as flat as a tack and from her perspective she wasn’t being fed to the sharks. Her first flathead came early in the piece, and she enjoyed the moment immensely, then she got the added bonus of watching a seal make a joke out of my best efforts to catch a fish.

Every time I was on, it was a race between myself and the seal as to who got the fish.

In the end, the seal won, with the score something like this: Seal: 3 flathead, 1 Shark.

Me: 2 Flathead 1 Coutta My darling wife derived great amusement out of my frustration and ongoing battle with the seal, especially as while I was keeping the seal occupied the others on board were landing fish.

Another added bonus to the day for her was seeing a school of skipjack tuna for the first time, and we were able to watch them churn up the water while the birds wheeled and dived overhead.

So we ended the day with a good bag of flathead, a happy wife, who now says she likes fishing in boats. My thanks go to the crew from Gamerec Charters – Andrew, Tim, Ben and Mark – thanks, guys, for helping make it such a great day of fishing for both of us.

Also, for all those ladies who think I’m not all that romantic; after the fishing we travelled to the Otway Estate Winery where we stayed the night!

Thanks to everyone involved for making it a 25th wedding anniversary I’m sure my wife won’t forget in a hurry.

My dear wife with the dusky flathead she caught on our anniversary.
