New open water swim classic set to showcase the Bellarine as one of the state’s best holiday destinations

BY SARAH LAWRENCE THE BELLARINE’S standing as one of the leading holiday destinations in the state is set to be enhanced further with the introduction of a new open water swim race in March. Organisers are in the process of finalising plans for a series of swims, which they believe, in time, can grow to rival the iconic Lorne Pier to Pub event, which drew more than 20,000 people to the town on Saturday. Such events provide a massive economic boost for the towns and wider community, and organisers believe a March swim is ideal timing to bring tourists to the Bellarine.

Surf Forecast

The jewel in the crown of the open water proposal is the 9.5-kilometre swim from Portarlington to St Leonards, which will be known as the Port to Pub. The long-distance event will be the first of its kind in the bay, and is expected to draw some of the leading distance swimmers from around the state. Two secondary events will come under the banner of the Bellarine Open Water Classic, and will feature a 500-metre swim for the under 12 age group and a 1.5-kilometre swim for the open and older age groupers. The events will also be unique in that they will link open water swimming with sailing. “The aim of these events is to help our club not just financially, but serve to develop stronger

links with our local community, campers, visitors and swimmers,” said Indented Head Yacht Club commodore, John Walter. The shorter distance swims are in final stages of negotiations with the yacht club. According to Walter, the idea for the events came through discussions with well-known local swimmer and identity, Tom O’Connor, who initiated the old Geelong Open Water Swim Classic. O’Connor also has experience working on and competing in other local events, such as the Queenscliff Blue Water Classic and the Point Lonsdale Rip View Classic. O’Connor said he wanted the event to go ahead as a way to show off the positive aspects of the

Bellarine Peninsula. “The Bellarine is such a precious part of the world. We should be proud of how beautiful it is,” he said. Both Walter and O’Connor pointed out that the event will be vital in supporting local businesses and employing Bellarine locals, such as the Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club and local fishing and marine engineering groups. Details are expected to be finalised in the coming week with governing bodies Bellarine Bayside and Parks Victoria.

Festival proves popular MORE than 10,000 lovers of mussels and summer celebrations enjoyed a fun-filled day of entertainment and eating on the Bellarine last Saturday. The annual Portarlington Mussel Festival featured an array of local produce from mussels to wine, top live music and activities for all ages. The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular dry boat race, hosted by Port Arts Network, was won by the Portarlington Football Club entry after a

late scratching by traditional rival, the local mussel farmers. The National Celtic Festival boat won the design category, with an honourable mention for Port Neighbourhood House arts group. The Mussel Festival Art Show was also a great success with works sold by local artists and visitors provided with an opportunity to see local talent showcased at the community event.

Do your bit for the coast

BY NATHAN HALE

BELLARINE Bayside is calling for volunteers to join its committee. The foreshore manager – which looks after 24 kilometres of Bellarine coastline from Point Richards to Edwards Point, near Swan Bay – is calling for applications to join the committee for a three-year term. The appointments will be made by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), with applications closing on Monday, February 15. Bellarine Bayside looks after crown assets worth more than $16million. These include: six coastal caravan and camping reserves, eight public boat ramps and jetties, 30 public amenities blocks, 22 heritage boat sheds, three yacht clubs, a boat

club, 11 public playgrounds, two community halls, a scout hall, skate park, public tennis court, public roads, car parking spaces, a flora and fauna reserve, walking tracks and extensive areas of public parkland. Bellarine Bayside is financially self-sufficient, operating as a not-for-profit organisation with all revenue returned to the foreshore. Chief executive officer, Tim Page-Walker, said the only pre-requisite for joining the committee was a love of the coastline and foreshore. “The background can be from anywhere… there is no requirement for people to have high levels of qualifications,” he said. “But what the DSE is looking for is people who are passionate about the coast and the environment and who can add something to the committee.

“The committee is very diverse with a wide range of skill-sets. “It looks as though we will potentially be losing three members, so there will be three spots to fill.” Bellarine Bayside’s mission is to protect and enhance all foreshore reserves under its jurisdiction in an environmentally sustainable manner, promote tourism, and provide high standard facilities for local community, visitors and holiday makers. The committee is also committed to the principles of the Victorian Coastal Strategy 2008 in revitalising Port Phillip. The focus is on: • Providing for the protection of significant environmental and cultural values • Undertaking integrated planning and providing clear direction for the future

• Ensuring the sustainable use of natural coastal resources • Sustainable development on the coast. “People who join the committee can be as involved as they want to be,” Page-Walker said. “In some respects, they can be as active or inactive as they want. There are sub-committees for people to get involved in. “Ideally, we want members to be active in the community, and people who already have strong connections in the towns we represent.” Application packages can be obtained from the Department of Sustainability and Environment at: PO Box 103, Geelong Vic 3220, or by phone: 5226 4010. For more information on the committee, visit www.bellarinebayside.com.au

Enjoy a day by the sea BY SARAH LAWRENCE THE COTTAGE by the Sea fair this Saturday is set to provide another fun-filled day of activities. With numerous stalls, including the white elephant, toys, books and fruit and vegetables, the Queenscliff-based charity is hopeful the day will prove a huge success. The morning will start with a breakfast from 9am, as well as Devonshire teas, which will be served all day overlooking the rip. Cottage by the Sea is an independent children’s charity organisation that relies heavily on community support and charity donations to provide a service to more than 900 children every year. The cottage offers short-term care (camps) for children aged between 5 and 12. The camps vary from a four- to seven-day stay and are held throughout the year, not just in the school holidays.

Saturday’s fair will take three days to set up, with contributions from more than 40 volunteers. According to cottage general manager, Tony Featherston, the revenue from the day is highly important to the cottage, as it receives no government funding. Last year’s fair raised $50,000, and Fetherston is hoping for a repeat this weekend. “It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year, so we hope lots of people come down to enjoy it and get involved,” he said. “When people see the cottage, they see what we’re all about and why we are a worthy cause to support.” There will also be tours of the cottage held throughout the day. Cottage by the Sea is located at 25 Flinders Street, Queenscliff. For more information, phone 5258 1663 The food stalls at the fair always prove popular, with homemade preserves and jams a particular favourite.

A day to love the planet BY MARK HEENAN A POPULAR Bayside caravan park in Portarlington wants to lead the way in protecting local water supplies by using waste wise initiatives. Bellarine Bayside will host a sustainability festival this Friday at its Portarlington Holiday Park resort, aimed at teaching families water and energy conservation, waste reduction and land, and ocean and wildlife conversation. The inaugural event is called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Love the Planet, Love the Parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and has the backing of local environment groups, including Barwon Regional Waste Management Group, Fishcare Victoria, Corangmite Waterwatch and Coastcare. Bellarine Bayside chief executive officer, Tim Page-Walker, said the main theme was to make local campers aware of being water, energy and waste-wise efficient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to come along, have a bit of fun and learn how they can do their bit for the environment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the ideas have been implemented throughout the park, like the water saving showerheads, dual flush toilets systems, stickers and timers in regards to taking shorter showers and making sure you use a half flush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those sort of things have added to existing savings and current savings we are experiencing - We need to obviously push that message to our customers as well.â&#x20AC;? Page-Walker said while the holiday parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population swells to more than 6,000 people during the summer peak period, the resort has already seen a 15 per cent drop in water usage from the previous years. Bellarine Bayside has also gone outside its internal boundaries, hiring boutique sustainability

Money found PORTARLINGTON Police are looking for the owners of a large sum of money they have had handed to them. The money was found in a back yard in St Leonards on November 2, and following numerous inquiries, the owner has still not been located. It is not known how long the money had been there before being located. Meanwhile, detectives have released CCTV footage and two images of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries in relation to an armed robbery in Leopold last week. The offender is described as 20-30 years old, 177 centimetres tall with a medium build. At the time of the offence he was wearing a black puffer jacket, blue jeans, white runners with black markings, a navy blue bandanna with a with cross and a scarf.

Gearing up for a big summer of tennis BY MARK HEENAN BJ’S TENNIS and Leisure owner, Julie Golightly, lives and breathes tennis. Golighty, who has been a tennis coach for more than 20 years in the Geelong and Bellarine region, is excited with the new surrounds at the Ocean Plaza complex in Ocean Grove. “It is really good to have a set up here (in Ocean Grove) and the businesses in the complex really feed off each other,” Golighty said. “Our business has picked up since we opened late last year.” The passionate tennis business professional is kept busy working in the shop four days a week and tennis

coaching five days a week. BJ’s Tennis and Leisure, which employs five staff, is one of only two standalone specialised tennis retail outlets in the Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast regions. Golighty, a Queenscliff resident, is no stranger to the business side of tennis, having owned and operated the old Geelong Indoor Centre (now defunct) in Newcomb for 10 years. “It is certainly different (with the smaller volume of space) we have as opposed to the Indoor Tennis Centre,” Golighty laughed. “But I really enjoy doing both coaching and working with the business.”

Golightly runs tennis coaching lessons at Ocean Grove, Queenscliff and Leopold, and her husband, Barry, is also a registered tennis coach. The new tennis outlet sells tennis racquets, tennis balls, sporting apparel, table tennis equipment, netball footwear and offers a personalised re-string service for tennis racquets. Golighty can also book tennis coaching lessons from inside the store. “Yeah both (arms of the business) really feed off each other,” she said. BJ’s Tennis and Leisure is open seven days a week, located at Shop 7 Ocean Plaza, 71-73 The Parade, Ocean Grove. For more information, phone 5255 1106.

David Franks re-strings a racquet at BJ’s Tennis and Leisure.

Paddle your way to the festival this Sunday OCEAN Grove’s summer festival is set to include a stand up paddle board display. Sunday’s activities, which kick off at 10am along The Terrace, will include live bands, children’s activities, stalls and much more – including the stand up paddle display. Phill Page from Sea Me Surf Photography and Rich Bartle from Strapper Surf will be providing the display, which will include boards ranging from 12-foot rhino chasers to

eight-foot shortboard SUPS from the Naish, Paddle Surf Hawaii, GSI and Dale Chapman ranges. There will also be paddles from Kialoa, Quickblade, Naish and locally handmade wooden paddles. Stand up paddle boarding images of local breaks along the Surf Coast and surrounding areas and also from the Mambo Competition in New South Wales will be on display to show just how far the sport has progressed in the last 12 months.

Cutting edge at the plaza

The Asher family (from left) Robin, Jemima, 6, Sebastian, 8, Campbell, 4 and Stephanie, can lay claim to be one of the fittest in town.

Try keeping up with this family

BY MARK HEENAN THE ASHER family could well be the fittest household in Ocean Grove. Passionate couple Robin (swimmer) and Stephanie Asher (runner) are days away from participating in this weekend’s grueling Danger 1000 swim at Torquay Front Beach and the Bells Bash Run (eight kilometres) at Jan Juc. While the couple’s active children might be too young to compete in the region’s summer swim and run events – Sebastian, 8, Jemima, 6, and Campbell, 4, will be on hand to lend support. Robin said he and his wife were extremely motivated to do well with their kids watching on.

“We all love doing both running and swimming,” Robin said. “It is easy and works out well when Stephanie does the runs, and I can watch the kids, and when I do the swims Stephanie can watch the kids. “We all line up at the finish line and say ‘Go mummy go, go mummy go’ and when I come out of the water it is ‘Go daddy go, go daddy go’.” Robin, 50, a former triathlete, has been clocking up the ocean mileage after competing in his fifth Point Lonsdale’s Rip to View and the prestigious Pier to Pub (second attempt) ocean swim in Lorne on Saturday. Remarkably, the day after the Rip to View swim, Robin backed up at the Rock to Ramp swim in Anglesea.

Not to be outdone, Stephanie has also been clocking up miles of a different kind on the hot sand and asphalt surfaces. The mother of three, who finished third in the 40-49 age group in the Rip to River run, admits she has been inspired by her husband’s marathon swimming feats. “I was inspired by Rob to actually run a bit more competitively, instead of doing fun runs with a girlfriend and having a chat-walk,” Stephanie laughed. Son, Sebastian, is already making inroads on his parents’ proud fitness regime after competing in a number of junior triathlons in Melbourne and Geelong.

Hairdresser Mandy Bletcher with Ocean Rouge manager, Corey Ferguson.

BY MARK HEENAN MEET Ocean Grove’s newest hairdresser manager, Corey Ferguson, who runs Ocean Rouge at the new Ocean Plaza complex. Ferguson, who has worked in hairdressing for 10 years, including a stint in the Northern Territory, spent several years honing his craft at Ocean Rouge’s sister outlet, Salon Rouge, at Bellarine Village in Newcomb. Ferguson said the new outlet attracts a different demographic compared to the Bellarine Village salon, especially with the influx of coastal tourists over the summer period. Prices are very affordable with men’s $10 trims offered every Tuesday only and hair makeovers starting from $80. “It is different – it is more of a tourist town, Ocean Grove,” Ferguson said. “Half of our clients are from the Ocean

Grove area, there are some from interstate, we have regular clients from Dubai and Europe.” The international flavour does not stop with customers, Great Britain hairdresser and employee, Mandy Bletcher, has recently relocated to Ocean Grove and brought her own unique European taste and style. Ocean Rouge, which employs five staff, also offers a nail service and recently hired the services of a qualified nail technician. Ocean Rouge is located at the new Ocean Plaza complex at Shop 8, 71-73 The Parade, Ocean Grove. “People know we’re next to Gloria Jeans so they can grab a coffee before they come and get a haircut,” Ferguson said. Appointments are preferred, phone 5255 3955 to make a booking. Ocean Rouge operates six days a week from Monday to Saturday and is open until 9pm on Thursdays.

coast community environment

A view to remember A NEW business is providing walking enthusiasts with the opportunity to enjoy one of the most scenic tracks in the state. Regina Gleeson has started Surf Coast Walks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which provides visitors with a guided tour along sections of the Surf Coast Walk. Gleeson, believes many people will love to walk on this iconic trail and that it will be a major drawcard to the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have often had walkers tell me how much more they get out of the experience when they have someone to point out the special things,â&#x20AC;? Gleeson said. Gleeson has been an outdoor educator for 20 years and combines her outdoor skills with her knowledge of the coast on the tours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People just want to come along and enjoy the walk without worrying about maps and navigation, car shuttles, permits, safety or first aid,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guides at Surf Coast Walks are tertiary graduates who are very experienced, have first aid qualifications and have a passion for this beautiful coastline.â&#x20AC;? With gourmet food, fine coffee and teas, and all transport arrangements organised, all people need is a day pack, some walking

through this unique environment,â&#x20AC;? Gleeson said. Walks are organised to accommodate all fitness levels from beginners through to people wanting a challenging experience and can include walking along

shoes and a sense of adventure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus of the walks is to poke into a rock pool, to explore a rainforest gully or to spot a yellow-tailed black cockatoo as you wander along. Our approach is to journey in a minimal impact way

beaches, cliff tops, cool rainforests and heathland trails. Walks can be half day, full day or multi day. For more information, phone Regina Gleeson on 0427 479 679 or visit www.surfcoastwalks.com.au

Access made easier for anglers LOCAL anglers can now enjoy more convenient access to two popular fishing spots along the Great Ocean Road, thanks to the installation of steps at Point Sturt and Grey River. Fisheries Victoria executive director, Anthony Hurst, said the steps were built using $80,000 from the annual Recreational Fishing Grants Programme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Association of Geelong and District Angling Clubs has constructed more than 30 steps at each site,â&#x20AC;? Hurst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Located on the Great Ocean Road at Point Sturt, 500 metres west of Wye River, and at Grey River, 3.5 kilometres west of Kennett River, both spots are well visited by anglers keen on catching salmon, snapper, whiting and trevally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The steps are another great example of how revenue from the recreational fishing licence is being used to improve fishing opportunities in Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since its inception in 2001, the annual Recreational Fishing Grants Programme has funded more than 240 projects throughout Victoria, worth more than $8.5million.â&#x20AC;? The secretary for the Association of Geelong and District Angling Clubs, John Hotchin, said the installation of access paths and steps was a welcomed addition to the sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, access tracks to these rock platforms were steep, slippery and difficult to negotiate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steps at both sites include a hand rail along the outside edge of the cliff face, and have been cut from locally quarried bluestone, which features a slipresistant finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Improving angler access and safety throughout the south west region is a priority for the Association of Geelong and District Angling Clubs.â&#x20AC;?

coast community environment

Nippers rule at Cosy Corner MORE than 1,200 Nippers descended on Cosy Corner beach in Torquay last Friday. The warm weather provided ideal conditions for the carnival, which drew clubs from around the state. Surf Coast Nippers dominated numbers for the event, with Jan Juc represented by 172 Nippers, Torquay 166 and Fairhaven 152.

The Sun Smart message was in full force with the crowds and children doing their best to keep hydrated and to stay in shady areas. Some events, however, had to be limited due to the hot weather, with temperatures reaching around the 34-degree mark. Despite this, the day went smoothly and was enjoyed by all.

pier to pub Sweet success for Brown and Sheppard

Tuesday 12 January 2010

HARRIET Brown and Sam Sheppard could not wipe the smiles off their faces last Saturday after winning the male and female divisions of the iconic Pier to Pub open water swim. A crowd of more than 20,000 watched on as Sheppard and Brown led in more than 4,000 competitors. Both winners have a local connection with Brown a Newtown local and member of the Ocean Grove Surf Club and Sheppard a member of Jan Juc Surf Club.

coast community environment

The win for Brown made it two victories in as many weeks after she took out the Rock2Ramp at Anglesea, while the victory was a breakthrough for Sheppard, who has twice been a runner-up in the Pier to Pub. Among the 4,000 competitors were a number of well-known faces, including Geelong footballers, politicians, as well as life savers from the United States and even the boys from channel 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bondi Rescue made an appearance. The Bondi rescue boys, from Channel 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television programme, Bondi Rescue, enjoyed their day out at Lorne.

Several solid reasons why you should choose

Rylock Windows

Stronger framing sections make the

Rylock Window & Door range safer in even the most exposed sites

ensure the

after years of constant exposure to the environment

Superior double weather sealing

All Rylock Windows & Doors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just

meet Australian standards, but greatly exceed them

Unwanted neighbourhood noises are greatly reduced by the superior frame sections and double seals

Stainless steel

When you specify Rylock Windows and Doors for your new home, you can rest assured that you have selected a product that has passed the test of time in one of the harshest environments on earth. Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western coastal areas can wreak havoc on many building materials, particularly those exposed to the elements like windows and doors. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why after 27 years we can still proudly point out homes where our windows still look like new whilst other brands, designed for sheltered suburban locations, are showing their age or often literally falling apart.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Build a better home with Rylock BUILDING a new home on Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west coast may not be as simple as it seems, according to Rylock Windowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Murray Riccardi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While most building products on the market are probably suitable for homes elsewhere in Victoria, special care must be exercised in the selection for new homes along the coast from Torquay to Warrnambool and beyond,â&#x20AC;? Riccardi (pictured) said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is true of materials for roofing, decks and balconies, and especially true for windows and doors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What might be fine in suburbia, can be totally inadequate on Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal regions, and we are not just referring to the strong winds that come howling across the Southern Ocean all the way from the Antarctic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Framing components of windows and doors need to be much heavier, weather seals need to be superior, and to combat the effects of the salt laden air, it is important that stainless steel be extensively used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why, at Rylock, we use heavy gauge stainless steel screws to assemble all of the products, as without them rusting and corrosion will cause joints to open up, allowing water to enter and rattling to occur even in light winds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even worse, sooner or later the windows could fail and be blown in.â&#x20AC;? Riccardi said the design of windows at Rylock includes the use of stainless steel components, which helps to further strengthen their products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having designed windows that will not suffer this fate, we take it even further, and for operating components stainless steel is extensively used,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chainwinder â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, double action sash stays, and many other parts are also stainless steel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fire prone areas, which are unfortunately prolific along our lovely coastline, stainless steel meshed flydoors and insect screens are also

available. Unlike some other brands, where vinyl is used for for weathersealing, Rylock uses co-extruded synthetic rubber weather seals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and unlike vinyl, which goes hard and also shrinks, thus losing its sealing ability, the Rylock alternative retains its compression qualities for the life of the building, and there are two at each contact point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When woven weather seals are required, such as sliding windows and sliding doors, Rylock again uses a top-quality product, and instead of one, at least two are used, not only creating a better seal, but ensuring there is no metal to metal contact,â&#x20AC;? Riccardi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having taken care of draughts with superior weatherseals, the elements are further kept outside by the insulating effect of double glazing which, due to Rylockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clever frame and sash designs, costs surprisingly little more than single glazed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time you arrive in the evening in mid winter and feel how cosy the home is before you turn on the heating on, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens with double glazing is that the windows allow heat from the low angle sun to come into the home, but not let it go straight back out when the sun goes down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, the benefit goes on through the summer, keeping high ambient temperatures outside, so you arrive to a much cooler home than you would if the windows were single glazed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rylock windows and doors will cost you a little more, but the benefits go on and on. In fact, many customers tell us their Rylock windows were the best money they have ever spent, and some have said they are the only parts of the home that are up to scratch, and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t been disappointed with.â&#x20AC;? Riccardi and the team at Rylock can be contacted on 5278 8711, and they are located a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from the Ford Factory at 61 Morgan Street, North Geelong.

Men urged to have checks AUSTRALIAN men are being accepted onto dialysis programmes at a rate 154 per cent higher than women. Men at high risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) should request regular kidney checks when they visit their GP in the same way people are now conditioned to ask for checks for prostate cancer, heart disease, blood pressure or diabetes, Kidney Health Australia has said. CKD, which contributes to the deaths of 50 people every day in Australia, is known as the silent killer because people can lose up to 90 per cent of the use of their kidneys before feeling sick. Regular checks are vital in detection and treatment. Dr Tim Mathew, medical director of Kidney Health Australia, said Australian men are being accepted onto dialysis programmes at a rate 154 per cent higher than women, according to latest figures. Dr Mathew said that given the overall population in Australia, where the sex ratio is about equal, it is surprising to see such a large difference in the acceptance rate. The gap has been steadily widening over the last 25 years with the increase in men undertaking dialysis rising from 53 per cent in 1982 to the current 61 per cent with the increase occurring in men

at all ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The male excess occurs in most of the common conditions that cause kidney failure including diabetes, nephritis and vascular disease,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dr Mathew said the explanation for the large and increasing gender gap was not obvious and had not been well studied. There is some data showing that men with early chronic kidney disease progress more quickly into kidney failure than women, although this is balanced by the fact that according to current criteria women have more early CKD than men. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men dominate the home haemodialysis scene with 73 per cent of all people at home being male,â&#x20AC;? Dr Mathew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gender issues identified in CKD and all of its stages will need to be addressed as part of future health planning and the provision of dialysis services which are expected to double to 20,000 by 2020 with an ageing population. The Australian CKD scene is characterised by a steady increase in the numbers of people entering dialysis programmes and in those dying of kidney failure.

Buy a cake for a good cause Torquay IGA’s Brad is sold by the pink chocolate mud cake.

TO HELP raise money for the McGrath Foundation, IGA supermarkets will donate 40 cents from every pink chocolate mud cake sold from until the end of the month. Co-founded by Jane and Glenn McGrath after Jane’s initial recovery from breast cancer, the McGrath Foundation provides physical, psychological and emotional support for women diagnosed with breast cancer and their families from the time of their diagnosis and throughout their treatment for breast cancer. The funds raised from the sale of the pink chocolate mud cake will go towards the placement of McGrath Breast Care Nurses in rural and regional Australia while increasing breast awareness in younger women. There are currently 53 McGrath Breast Care Nurses located in areas as far reaching as Hervey Bay (Queensland), Geraldton (Western Australia), Armidale (New South Wales), Warrnambool (Victoria) and Whyalla (South Australia) providing an invaluable health resource and support for women dealing with breast cancer treatment. Executive director of the McGrath Foundation, Tracy Bevan, believes fundraising through independent grocers IGA is relevant to the aims of the McGrath Foundation. “IGA stores are located all over regional and

rural Australia. By buying a pink chocolate mud cake from their local IGA, customers are supporting women in their very own communities,” Bevan said. “The McGrath Foundation endeavours to help those being treated for cancer and to educate the younger generation of women to be breast aware.” IGA national chairman, Mick Daly, said the stores were looking forward to partnering such a good cause. “IGA retailers across Australia are pleased to be involved in the McGrath Foundation initiative. Sadly, breast cancer affects many women in communities all over Australia,” he said. “We hope that by raising funds through our network of 1,300 stores we will be able to aid the McGrath Foundation in carrying out its vital work of supporting Australian women and their families by providing even more McGrath Breast Care Nurses where they are really needed. “Through the IGA Community Chest and associated programmes, independent retailers across Australia have raised in excess of $42m for local communities, charities and worthy causes in the last seven years.” The cakes will be available until January 31 and will retail for approximately $5.99 with 40c of the sale going to the placement of McGrath Breast Care Nurses in rural and regional Australia.

Grand2010 markets, Make the enchanting cities and year for travel wonderful waterways

WE HOPE everyone had an enjoyable festive season and Happy New Year to all our valued clients. Well, 2010 is now here and there are lots of exciting things happening this coming year for our staff at Harvey World Travel Drysdale, Leopold and Ocean Grove. Once again all three offices will be involved in leading groups to various parts of the globe; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope one or more of the group departures may interest your travel bug for 2010. We have a small group departing by 4WD for the spectacular Kimberleys on May 27 this year, hosted by KWA. The 13-day tour takes in many of the amazing Kimberley highlights. The journey will see you travel on the historic Gibb River Road, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most remote outback highways. Along the way stop off and discover Windjana, Bell, Galvanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Barnett gorges. For the more energetic amongst you, try ascending the spectacular Mitchell Plateau, and view the beautiful waterfalls beneath. Perhaps even take a helicopter flight over the falls for an absolute first-class view. See close up the amazing Wandjina and Gwion art, part of the Bradshaw collection. There will be time for a beautiful

river cruise upon the mighty Ord River, and perhaps see some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest saltwater crocodiles up close. And while in the Kununurra area, explore the ancient Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park. A hike into Piccaninny Creek and Cathedral Gorge is just one of many spectacular Kimberley highlights.

Family fun in Fiji Nicole from Drysdale has just been to the family holiday centre of the universe, in Fiji. The super-friendly people of this wonderful island paradise will make your holiday as relaxed as you want to make it. For families there are always plenty of water-based activities and it is certainly a great place to take the kids. Back to Bali Carol has also just returned from another holiday to Bali with the girlfriends, no doubt the local economy there has been lifted dramatically. Bali has once again become very popular for tourists and the shopping and restaurants are as dollar friendly as ever. Getaway to the Gold Coast A bit closer to home, saw Shiree

and Simmone travel to one of their favourite locations, the beautiful Gold Coast. There are some amazing deals on offer at the moment for that quick getaway, without the hours of travel.

Indian dreaming By the time this goes to print Carol and Glenn will be enjoying themselves with friends and clients in majestic India, the three-week trip will see them experiencing the wonderful sights like the amazing Taj Mahal to game viewing in the National Parks for the elusive Tiger. I am sure this will be featured in the next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Travel Talk. So stay tuned for more snippets on the exciting adventures of those at Harvey World Travel Drysdale, Ocean Grove and Leopold. Anyone for China? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at putting a group together for a trip to China later in the year. Let us know if you are interested and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you in the loop.

Industry Info

House prices continue to rise A guide to selling THE FIRST thing you need to do when you decide to sell your house is to find the right agent. Your agent will discuss with you the benefits of different sales methods, the best way to advertise your property, and perhaps improvements to maximise your selling price. A well presented home says ‘welcome’. It doesn’t have to be a ‘show place’ but it should appear a comfortable home in which to live. Your home will be one of many on the market at any time. You need to present your home in such a way to get the best price within a set time. Experience shows that vendors who make an extra effort on presentation usually achieve a quicker sale and sometimes, a higher price. Outside your home, first impressions do count. To start with, check the overall view of the yard, fences, driveway, windows, doors, roof and walls from the street. Have all minor repairs done. Sticking doors and windows, loose doorknobs, faulty plumbing, peeling paint etc. may affect your sale. Make sure gates open easily. Arrange outdoor furniture attractively to give a look of leisure. Tidy the flower-pots and have plants healthy and watered. Trim shrubs and mow lawns, including the footpath. Clean out sheds. Toys and garden tools should be stored. Clear the gutters, clean windows, screens, doors and awnings. Spread gravel on unsealed driveways and lay pine bark on unsightly surfaces. Sweep driveways and patios. Remove clothes from the line. Make sure a pool is sparkling clean. If you own a dog, take it for a walk during inspections.

up 17.9 per cent, leading the way, followed by Canberra up 10.9 per cent, Brisbane up 6.9 per cent, Perth up 6.5 per cent and Adelaide up 5.7 per cent. “At the end of 2008 most forecasters were predicting substantial house price falls in the following 12 months,” said Christopher Joye, managing director of Rismark International. “Almost all of them were proven wrong. Australia’s housing market has surprised on the upside with impressive double-digit capital gains in the year-to-date. “The inability of most analysts to get close to divining Australia’s housing market trajectory during the global financial crisis and in the recovery since, combined with the many misconceptions one typically hears about housing, illustrates just how poorly understood the sector is.” Rpdata.com Research director, Tim Lawless, said the November results highlight that the Australian market may be less sensitive to interest rate rises and the removal of government stimulus than many would have thought. “The strong November results were achieved despite the 25 basis point lifts in the official cash rate in October and November as well as the wind back of the boost to the First Home Owners Grant,

AUSTRALIAN home values delivered double-digit growth over the first 11 months of 2009. Figures released by rpdata.com showed that home prices rose by 11.3 per cent throughout the nation over the first 11 months of 2009. The figures were led by a massive 17.9 per cent jump in Darwin and a 17.0 increase in Melbourne. Continuing the trend of prices rising in the wake of the global financial crisis, home prices rose by 1.1 per cent in November – that’s on the back of a 1.4 per cent increase in October. The most important story of 2009 has been the extraordinary recovery in the Melbourne and Sydney housing markets. In the three months to end November, home values in Melbourne and Sydney have outperformed most other capitals, rising by 4.5 per cent and 3.2 per cent respectively. Over the year-to-date, Melbourne has been Australia’s best performing capital city outside of Darwin, generating exceptional capital gains of 17 per cent. Sydney home values have increased by more than 1 per cent per month with cumulative growth of 11.6 per cent. In the first 11 months of 2009, most of the other capital cities have performed strongly with Darwin,

FIRST HOUSES BUILT AFTER SALE Extracts from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;History of Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by James A Baines 1938 Henry Denmead, tinsmith and plumber, of Aberdeen St, Geelong, built the house in Anderson St now owned by Mr Witherden. William B Wilton built the house next to Bucklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now owned by Mrs A. G Richardson, sister of Cr A G White and widow of a staunch worker in Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests. Many years of service to the public stand to the credit of Cr W B Wilton, who on medical advice, has withdrawn from the contest for his seat on the Geelong Waterworks and sewerage Trust as representative of the Shires of Bellarine, Corio and South Barwon. He was elected to the Trust 24 years ago on the retirement of the late Mr H M Sutherland, and in his capacity as commissioner he has assisted toward the development of the city and district in the intervening time.

Modular custom construction THE TEAM from @ Home Builders are revolutionising new home construction. After years of constructing custom built homes, Matt realised that a more practical, durable, cost-efficient and environmentally form of constructing a custom built home was required; this idea has since come to fruition. @ Home Builders design and construct client homes in modular form in a controlled environment in Geelong. Here, there are no issues with adverse weather conditions, it eliminates building material waste and the issue of theft and damage to the dwelling while under construction. It also eliminates clients having to pay a premium price for their home because their site may be considered a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;difficult siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while it eliminates clients having to wait 10 months for their home to be completed. Modular construction eliminates the issues associated with traditional (or outdated) onsite construction. A modular home is completed in a quality, controlled environment in as little as 12 weeks and is at least 50% more efficient than standard onsite custom construction. Other benefits include: â&#x20AC;˘ Minimum five-star energy compliant with minimal building waste, as homes are designed to certain lengths and widths. Excess material is stored in a sheltered environment, ensuring it is utilised on another project â&#x20AC;˘ Matt, director and builder, is on hand ensuring the home is built to his exacting standards â&#x20AC;˘ Your home can be completed the day you take occupancy of your land

â&#x20AC;˘ For clients who have a long settlement or waiting for titles to be released on their land, the design and construction can be completed prior to settlement, meaning the day you â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;settleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on your land, you can also move into your new home â&#x20AC;˘ This provides clients with a significant financial saving on their land holding costs, and is also beneficial to developers and business operators looking to develop B&B accommodation â&#x20AC;˘ There is minimal disruption to the existing site vegetation and neighbours â&#x20AC;˘ The ability to construct on sites with difficult access and challenging contour levels â&#x20AC;˘ Clients are able to view their home under construction in a safe work environment â&#x20AC;˘ A home which can easily be extended when lifestyle requirements vary â&#x20AC;˘ Custom design and construction, tailored to the clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budget and local planning requirements. Whether your requirements are for a coastal retreat, high country hide away, country cottage, permanent residence or units for a development site, @ Home Builders can design and construct a modular home to suit your lifestyle. For more information or to arrange an appointment to inspect the factory and discover how and why modular homes are revolutionising custom built construction in the 21st century, phone 5243 5650, email trent@ athomebuilders.com.au or visit www.athomebuilders.com.au

Increasing trend toward custom building on the coast In an age of big business builders, standard house plans and cookie cutter style designs, more and more people are turning to custom building to create the perfect home environment, whether they be first home buyers or established home owners. Blue Cove Homes is a quality custom builder that specialises in building GreenSmart Coastal homes. Their homes reflect the personal style, lifestyle and practical needs of its owner and are always visually distinctive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes striking, often understated. Michael and Di Dahm are the inspiration behind the business, with more than 20 years experience. Their growing reputation for producing beautiful, high quality homes in harmony with the ocean environment has seen them expand their operations from the Bellarine Peninsula into other coastal areas. Di Dahm is passionate about helping people realise their dream and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that a home is the most important financial investment many of us will make, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a significant personal investment. We get to know our clients, and we know how to create a structure that will truly reflect their personal style and lifestyle.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other great thing about custom building is that it creates a certain sense of exclusivity around the property that need not be expensive. It can certainly play an important part in the property appreciating in value in the futureâ&#x20AC;?, she added. Blue Cove Homes are one of the few builders in the area to be approved as an accredited Building Ethics builder.

Among other things, the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business is assessed for its skills, experience and financial position before accreditation is provided. It also stipulates additional protection for the customer over and above the statutory requirements. The company is regularly building homes with the maximum GreenSmart Energy Rating of 7-8*, where the minimum standard is 5*. In addition to clever design and new technologies, the choice of materials can contribute greatly to that outcome. Blue Cove Homes offer a FREE 1 hour consultation for anyone wanting to explore custom building their next home. Ph: 1300 858 228. Email office@bluecovehomes.com.au or visit www.bluecovehomes.com.au

Relax and enjoy the ride BY SARAH LAWRENCE

LAIDBACK, feel-good sounds will be working their way into Torquay’s Left Off The Rocks this Thursday when Justin Carter plays an acoustic set with Jonny Rollins. After the successful release of his first album Whatever happened to real music? and winning the Apollo Bay Music Festivals Young Songwriters Award in 2007, Carter decided to bring his friend Rollins on board as a duo, but retained the band name, Justin Carter. Since then, they have released their album Painting Pictures last May. The boys have been making a name for themselves, selling more than 3,000 albums here and in Japan. This gave them the opportunity to spend a large part of last year touring. The young men travelled up the east coast from Melbourne to Brisbane, ventured to parts of South Australia and Tasmania before heading off for a tour of Japan. “The market we’ve got ourselves into in Japan is the surf scene. So we did some pretty big shows over there,” said Carter. “This album has a story for everyone who has felt the joys of falling in love and the pain of being forgotten.” Carter describes their music as “a mix of everything”. “We have a bit of rockiness, storytelling, and some poppy hop stuff with a tinge of bluesy,” he said. Both Carter and Rollins are 25 years old, live in Jan Juc, and apart from performing locally, they hold a residency at The National Hotel in Geelong. Carter has also been making a name for himself by playing barefoot. “People like it because it gives a relaxing vibe. I used to play in thongs but it just got too slippery,” he said.

Jonny Rollins and Justin Carter from the duo, Justin Carter.

The duo has recently created a video clip for their single, Smile. The clip involves footage at their concerts complemented by clips of them dressed as bunny rabbits. Through the clip, the rabbits visit local places such as Jan Juc, Mossops Ice Cream Shop in Torquay and

Eastern Beach in Geelong. The clip has been getting airplay on the ABC television program, Rage. “We just thought instead of having a boy and girl walking around, we would give it a funny, comic aspect,” said Rollins. “Currently it is on television at 3.10am, but

people can go the Rage website at www.abc.net.au/ rage and request our clip so it’s on at a better time of day.” For more information on Carter and Rollins, visit www.myspace.com/justincartermusic or www.justincartermusic.com

CORKS CREW CELLARS

Holy Hollaia I AM a sucker when it comes to Sangiovese, either as a straight varietal or when it’s blended with Cabernet or Merlot ala in the ‘Super Tuscan’ style. It’s such a versatile grape; rich, complex and so food friendly, so when I clapped eyes on the Hollick ‘Hollaia’, I was immediately intrigued and wanted to know all about it. But first, here’s a sneak peek at the Hollick story so far… The Hollick winery is located in the famous Coonawarra region over in South Australia and established on what is known as ‘Neilson’s Block’ – one of the original John Riddoch Coonawarra selections. Owner and winemaker, Ian Hollick, has a real ‘hands-on’ approach to making the wines, which are sourced from three main vineyards – ‘Neilson’s Block’, planted in 1975, the ‘Wilgha’ vineyard, purchased in 1987 and the relatively new ‘Red Ridge’ vineyard developed in 1998 at Wrattonbully, just next to Coonawarra. Red varieties predominate, of course, however, there is a small selection of white wines made. Here’s a few of Hollick’s red wine standouts for your consideration.

Hollick Wrattonbully 2006 Shiraz ($24)

Terrifically rich, bold red made from a selection of the best Shiraz from the ‘Red Ridge’ vineyard at Wrattonbully. The vineyard has similar shallow ‘terra rossa’ soils over limestone to Coonawarra, but is slightly warmer, which results in earlier ripening of the fruit. The wine is loaded with sweet Shiraz black fruit flavours, but retains good balance and lovely suppleness. Its only disappointing feature is that it’s still under cork.

Hollick Wrattonbully 2005 ‘Hollaia’ Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon ($20)

Yum, yum, yum! I really enjoyed this with its rich, dense compote of dark berries and slightly dusty, savouriness. Ian Hollick was inspired by a trip to Italy, to try new varieties and the Italian ‘Sangiovese’ grape (best known for producing the wonderous wines from Chianti) piqued his interest and was duly planted at the ‘Red Ridge’ vineyard in 1999. The ‘Hollaia’ Sangiovese Cabernet blend is a clever and cheeky name play on the famous and incredibly expensive ‘Super Tuscan’ wines such as ‘Sassicaia’, ‘Ornellaia’ and ‘Solaia’. The more I let this wine breathe and open up, the more it delivered and filled out… deliciously fleshy, with savoury ‘tar and roses’ charm… get on it.

Hollick Wrattonbully 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot ($22)

A classic Coonawarra style, glowing with vibrant berry and cassis aromas and flavours along with smooth tannins on the finish. Full rich forward fruit packs out the middle and makes this the kinda red you want around when the occasion calls for something juicy ‘n’ soft.

Roll into Crowne’s Sandbar BY SARAH LAWRENCE SANDBAR at Crowne Plaza in Torquay is the latest place to enjoy live summer entertainment. The chilled out and sophisticated bar overlooking the pool will be hosting performers over the next three weekends. The setting makes the ideal location for a group of friends to enjoy drinks while relaxing on an early Sunday evening, with gigs starting between 6pm and 7pm. The following acts will be playing in the coming weeks: Sunday: Phil Davidson The Blue Mountains singer-songwriter plans to leave the audience touched with his heartfelt songs. Putting his rawest and most personal feelings into his music is what Davidson does best. The result is Edge of It All, a heart-warming and sensitive album that he will play songs off. The album is a collection of intensely personal, yet at the same time universal, songs that reflect 45-year-old Davidson’s experiences of life – as a parent, a partner, a son and a friend. January 24: Ian Duchesne Originally from the United Kingdom, Duchesne has been playing Melbourne venues for more than 15 years. From his teens to my mid-20s, he played the London pub and club circuit in both original and cover bands. At the end of the 1980s, Duchesne was

getting the travel bug and ventured to Melbourne after hearing good things about the blossoming Melbourne music scene. His first visit in 1989 was to be the first of many before settling permanently in 1995. Following a two-year stint on the Melbourne cover band circuit he did my first solo gig. Now 15 years on and many gigs later, Duchesne is playing every weekend. Drawing on a huge and ever expanding repertoire of popular songs covering six decades, Duchesne has the ability to deliver fresh performances. He plays songs to suit the audience and occasion from his huge selection of songs and sometimes throws in some of his own original songs. January 31: Alex Kyle Alex Kyle started playing in bands while studying music and literature at Deakin University. He has played in many bands throughout his career, both original and cover, including tours of Europe and the United States. He now fronts his own eight-piece funk and dance band called Rhythm Company, plays in cover band, Tadpole, as well as doing solo and duo work. His song list is extensive, with selections from Robbie Williams, Neil Diamond and Van Morrison to Crowded House and Stevie Wonder. Kyle has a wide variety of styles and credits his success to believing that music should be fun and entertaining to get the crowd off their feet.

Sutton brings the coast to life

Tuesday 12 January 2010

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

ART LOVERS have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of paintings by the local artist, Susan Sutton. Her exhibition at the Qdos Gallery in Lorne has been in high demand and is the 10th solo exhibition at the gallery her work has featured in. Sutton’s works of art involve significantly detailed oil paintings on canvas. They include social observations and specific subjects along the

Surf Coast, mainly in Lorne where she divides her time between Geelong and the seaside location. “I like to paint what I know and see,” Sutton said. “So a lot of my work is inspired by the Surf Coast. I paint many landscapes around Lorne and some of the surf boat carnivals. “My paintings are usually populated with many figures which I use to convey the social narrative, while the ambience and mood of the particular place or situation are conveyed through the effects

of colour, light and atmosphere.” Sutton originally obtained a Diploma of Art at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and trained as a secondary school art teacher. She went on to spend time in family businesses before deciding to focus on her career as an artists in late 1998. “Ever since I was a teenager I wanted to be an artist but it wasn’t so easy back then,” she said. “So I became an art teacher. Only in the last 11 years have I taken it on and in the past five years,

I’ve taken it most seriously. “I think I’ve realised my passion and I’ve felt the most satisfied with my work. “I try to create a work of art rather than a painting. You have to spend a lot of time isolated painting. You have to take your mind off a lot of things but I really enjoy it.” The exhibition runs until Saturday, January 23. The Qdos Gallery is located at 35 Allenvale Road, Lorne. For more information, phone 5289 1989 or visit www.qdosarts.com

Susan Sutton’s works include social observations and scenery from along the Surf Coast.

Local photographers on show BY SARAH LAWRENCE

THE BEST of local photography is on show at Crowne Plaza. The hotel has joined forces with galleries in Torquay to show off the latest works from talented local photographers. The initiative has been successfully running for the past 12 months, with many visitors purchasing the shots featured in the foyer of the hotel. Matt Stevenson, owner of the Bell Street Gallery, believes it has been integral to the exposure of young photographers in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for young photographers to get seen in a high-class venue,â&#x20AC;? said Stevenson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also allows us to continue training up photographers and include new photographs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guests have also really enjoyed seeing some of the excellent photographs and appreciating the beauty of the area,â&#x20AC;? added Jason Burnett, general manager at

Crowne Plaza, Torquay. Some of the photographers featured include Steve Arklay, Matt and Steve Ryan, Erik Holt, Cormac Hanrahan, Barrie Sutherland and Darren Noyes-Brown. The photos are rotated on a six-week basis over summer to ensure ample exposure of all photographers and the Surf

Coast and Bellarine landscapes. Stevenson also indicated that even though he is highly busy running his gallery, he would love to hear from locals interested in organising a Torquay Camera Club. To contact Stevenson, email artscape@bigpond.net.au or visit www. bellstreetgallery.com.au

Relive Woodstock by the bay VISITORS to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apollo Bay Music Festival will have the opportunity to relive the songs of Woodstock. Festival organisers have introduced Baystock to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Baystock is a themed concert with a difference. While the first Woodstock took place in 1969, festival organisers asked acts attending this year if they would cover one of the songs played 41 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they received an overwhelming response. The Baystock concert will be presented on the Saturday afternoon of the three-day festival, and indeed is shaping up to be a festival in itself with some excellent and outlandish interpretations of songs from Woodstock. To whet your appetite for what is definitely going to be a concert with a difference, here is a taste of the artists and the songs they have chosen to perform at Baystock.

Enjoy a sleepy Sunday listening to the blues

BRIAN Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songwriting and finger-picking guitar playing talents, combined with his gruff vocal style and entertaining showmanship, have been acclaimed around the country. Fraser made a name for himself as the lead guitarist and vocalist for Turning Blue, The Brian Fraser Trio and Psychedelicatessens, and he will be appearing at the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club in Geelong this Sunday. Fraser released his debut solo acoustic album, titled Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ask Me, in 1999. The album won Australian Blues Album of the Year and Fraser was in the final nominations for Best New Artist at the Australian Chain Awards in 2000.

His second CD, Sitting on the Corner, released in 2001, was a finalist in the 2002 Goulburn Blues Music Awards in the categories of Best Album and Best Song at the Australian Chain Awards. In 2003 he released Finger Pickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blues, a CD which included 13 original tracks plus three popular covers from the live show. The Brian Fraser Trio won the Australian Blues Band of the Year at the 2006 Chain Awards after releasing Passing the Time in 2005. Fraser takes his show all over the country, whether playing standard acoustic guitar or acoustic slide, he showcases everything from slow heartrending ballads, foot-stomping blues and traditional delta styles to some well-known standards.

He regularly performs at major festivals around the country, including the Thredbo Blues Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, The Broadbeach Blues Festival, Australian Blues Festival (Goulburn), Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival and the Bluestone Blues Festival Geelong to name a few. Since beginning his solo career, he has shared the stage with such renowned Australian blues artists as Chris Finnen, Dutch Tilders, Doc Span, Andy Cowan, Jeff Lang, Phil Manning, Pete Cornelius, Steve Tallis, Kate Meehan and Derrin Nauendorf. Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of blues music is apparent in every aspect of his approach to his performances, and this ensures that audiences everywhere find his

shows highly entertaining, soul-moving and a whole lot of fun. Catch Fraser as part of Sleepy Hollow Blues Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jam and barbecue session. The action starts from 4pm with an open jam session, followed by a barbecue from 6pm, with Fraser performing from 6pm-9pm. The club is situated at the Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers Street, Geelong (enter from rear, off Smyth Place, via Little Ryrie Street). Cost is $5 for members and $7 for non-members, with BYO welcome. For more information, phone Marg Rubans on 0409 018 029.

The right Way to photography

Tuesday 12 January 2010

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

FOR THE past 30 years, Kevan Way has lived out his passion for photography. The local photographer has recently started a website dedicated to his stunning Surf Coast images that allows tourists and photo lovers alike to order prints once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got home. His website www.surfcoastimages.com.au has a huge selection of Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carefully taken work from all over the Surf Coast. An extensive career and wealth of industry knowledge has allowed Way to show off his well refined and eye-catching photos.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since moving here two years ago, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve let my passion for surfing step back and let my feelings for the ocean take over,â&#x20AC;? said Way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The website is designed so people can get some really high quality photos to appreciate the beauty of the area.â&#x20AC;? He also runs a website dedicated to stock photography, which includes more than 17,000 images from his extensive career (www. stockbyway.com.au). Way originally studied a fine arts degree at the University of Tasmania. But a bad wrist injury meant he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write or paint for a number of months,

so he expressed his creativity through photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I left Tassie and enrolled in a photography studies course part time in Melbourne. By the third year I was working full-time in the industry,â&#x20AC;? he said. He has been involved in the areas of advertising, corporate and industrial photography, and credits one of this most memorable moments as photographing the old Ansett Australia training facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was interesting seeing behind the scenes and photographing the pilots and air simulator,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My other good experience was at the Melbourne Port Authority. I had to go up high in the container

cranes at Swanson Dock to get the shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the challenge of the job, trying to make something mundane look photogenic.â&#x20AC;? One of Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite times to photograph is during stormy weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always photograph in stormy weather because you never know what is going to happen. You get some really interesting shots,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than taking a straight up tourist shot, I look for different angles. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also very fond of taking sunrise and sunset photos.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www. surfcoastimages.com.au or phone 0417 595 152.

Enjoy the best in African dance Tuesday 12 January 2010

THE BEST in African dance and drumming will be on display at Bellbrae next week when Wild Moves presents the Asanti dance theatre. Torquay outfit, Wild Moves, is a group which teaches drumming and dance around the Surf Coast, with knowledge gained from past visits to Africa. Jacqui Dreessens, who started Wild Moves, said the appearance of the dance theatre will provide her students with a first-hand look at traditional African dance, movement and music. “Over the course of the past 10 years I have toured Ghana to study the music and

dance, and now it is great for these artists to be on the Surf Coast,” Dreessens said. “People who have been to our Wild Moves classes will be able to see traditional dance and music in the flesh.” The one-off performance will be held at the Bellbrae Hall in School Road, on Saturday, January 23, from 7.30pm-9.30pm. The appearance has been made possible through a community grant from the Surf Coast Shire, and Dreessens is expecting a large crowd, but she stressed numbers are limited and bookings are required. “It is a night of interactive performance… people can either choose to sit back and

watch or get up and take part,” she said. “You can either bring your own drum or hire one on the night and take part in learning some of the ancient or contemporary rhythms. “And because we want to make it as interactive as possible, we need to know numbers early so everyone can enjoy the evening and have the ability to take part if they wish.” For more information on the evening – and Wild Moves – or to book tickets for January 23, phone Jacqui Dreessens on 0409 025 062, email info@wildmoves.com or visit the website, www.wildmoves.com

Management programme sees drop in the number of mosquitoes this summer

MOSQUITO numbers on the Bellarine have been reduced significantly following a successful management programme conducted by the City of Greater Geelong. CoGG mayor, John Mitchell, said recent surveying of mosquito numbers on the Bellarine indicated that numbers were significantly down compared to this last time year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light trap readings are made on a fortnightly basis at Breamlea, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale, St Leonards and the Geelong Botanic Gardens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the readings show that numbers of adult mosquitoes are measurably

less than last year and this is despite a much greater rainfall in the lead up to summer,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These results indicate that the City of Greater Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mosquito management programme is working and working well.â&#x20AC;? CoGG uses a combination of aerial application and ground level treatment to control mosquitoes in the common breeding sites around the Bellarine Peninsula. The mosquito control products used in aerial spraying are larvicides called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and s-Methoprene.

Tuckerberry Hill is open seven days a week from 9am-5pm. Visitors can choose to enjoy the fresh air and pick their own blueberries or purchase pre-picked blueberry packs. For more information contact Tuckerberry Hill on 5251 3468.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These products only affect mosquito larvae,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humans, animals, and the general environment will not be adversely affected by the aerial treatments.â&#x20AC;? He said that the aim of the management programme was to reduce mosquito numbers to moderate levels, as it was not feasible to eliminate all airborne mosquitoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents should expect to see an increase in the general number of mosquitoes, as it is normal for adult levels to fluctuate over the season,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said.

Adorning the walls are images from stellar Australian surf photographers John Witzig, Hugh McLeod, Albert Falzon, Barrie Sutherland, Mal Sutherland, Dick Hoole, Jack Finlay, Wendy Mitchell, Sean Davey, Steve Ryan and Tony Harrington. Legendary lens photographer, Barrie Sutherland from Torquay and Mal Sutherland from Queensland met for the first time recently to officially open the exhibition.

Barrie has many of his classic shots on show, including an evocative dawn scene at Bells from 1966 and a photo of a Wayne Lynch switch-foot at Bells in 1967. Mal has also loaned many of his iconic images, including Bob Cooper surveying the scene at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Passâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in 1964 and an epic shot from Noosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Park car park from 1964. The works of the talented and respected group have been complemented by the addition of images from local surf photographers Darren NoyesBrown, Kevan Way, Alison Aprhys, Red Whyte and Mathew Stevenson. Through his Bell Street Printworks and Gallery, Stevenson also supported the exhibition by printing and mounting a number of the images on display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have enjoyed fantastic support for this exhibition from photographers, and now we are enjoying the enthusiastic response from visitors,â&#x20AC;? said Craig Baird, SurfWorld Torquay curator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been quite a thrash to get everything sorted, with John Foss and Alan Miles going above and beyond the call of duty to help make it happen.â&#x20AC;? Visit www.surfworld.com.au or visit SurfWorld at Surf City Plaza, Beach Road, Torquay.

Sport and art all in one SURF Coast Calisthenics is a fun, theatrical sport for children aimed at developing confidence, coordination and friendship. The word calisthenics comes from the Greek words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kallosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for beauty and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thenosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for strength. It involves teams learning a variety of choreographed routines to music. These include singing, dancing and controlled exercises improving co-ordination and flexibility. As a sport it encourages physical development, co-ordination, self-discipline as well as team

spirit, yet as an art it develops musical appreciation and rhythm. There is also the excitement and confidence from dressing up and presenting on stage. Surf Coast Calisthenics participants thrive on the variety and challenges offered in a fun and safe environment with experienced and highly qualified coaches. Classes are held on a Wednesday afternoon at the Torquay Improvement Hall in Price Street. For more information, phone Belinda Matthews on 0408 384 908.

Jan 12-18 2009 With the Solar Eclipse in your sign this week it’s time to revitalize your appearance via an updated wardrobe or hot new hairstyle. Some adventurous Goats may even consider an extreme makeover via cosmetic surgery. Don’t overdo it though! Modern medical marvels are no substitute for classic Capricorn class and style.

With no less than five planets stimulating your career sector, you need to create new work opportunities and explore all of your professional options. If you’re smart you’ll push for a pay rise, apply for a promotion or circulate your CV. A lucky opportunity is likely from an overseas friend or social networking contact.

The Solar Eclipse (and four other planets) shake up your love zone this week. Singles – Cupid is sending his arrows in your direction but have you been too busy to notice? Coupled Crabs – your partnership gets a much-needed boost (and a relationship renaissance is definitely just what the doctor ordered).

Family relationships are becoming complicated, and your usual approach may not be doing the trick. Perhaps you need to tune into the energy of the Solar Eclipse and try a different strategy? It’s also the ideal time for a domestic makeover which could include cleaning, redecorating or renovating your home.

Goodbye couch potato! The Solar Eclipse activates your adventure/ travel zone, so crawl out of your comfort zone and take off on a summer holiday or weekend camping trip. Whether you get physical and sporty, or into Taurus tourist mode – just get out there and do it. The Sun and Venus encourage you to be bold and beautiful.

You’re full of energy and ready to go, as the Solar Eclipse lights up your wellbeing zone. So it’s a great time to nurture yourself with healthy food, body pampering and lots of physical activity in the summer sunshine. Carrot juice cocktails and seaweed body wraps are definitely on this week’s menu!

Don’t get stuck in a mental rut - let go of the past and embrace the future. Prepare for a cerebral spring-clean as you adapt to new ways of thinking, and find innovative solutions to old problems. Your quote for the week is from birthday great, William James “Man can alter his life by altering his thinking.”

Aquarians are friendly folk and your social calendar is usually pretty heavily booked. However, with the Solar Eclipse in your mystery zone, personal growth and inner development take centre stage this week. You’ll be overdue for some splendid solitude, as you tune into the wonderful mystery that is you!

Friday’s Solar Eclipse signals a fresh start involving sex or money. Don’t confuse lust with love though – or expect a bumper bank balance to keep you warm at night! Mercury (your ruling planet) moves forwards again on Saturday so expect communication, car or computer problems to finally clear up.

Have your relationships become boring and predictable? Friday’s Solar Eclipse urges you to find fresh ways to connect with those around you, whether at home, at work or at play. From Saturday onwards you’re in the mood for love, as Mercury restores your mojo and your Virgo vim and vigour return.

Show me the money! Over the next 12 months you’ve got plans for a big new purchase (like a house, car or holiday) and – in typical Sagittarian fashion - you’ve been talking it up. Now, with the Solar Eclipse in your $$$ zone, it’s time to put your money where your mouth is and actually start saving.

Your hopes, dreams and wishes zone is activated by Friday’s Solar Eclipse so you need to be creative and adventurous with your aspirations for 2010. The time for Piscean procrastination is over! Be inspired to take action by William James (born on January 11, 1842) “Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.”

Ready for Danger

ENTRANTS in this week’s Bells Bash Cliff Run and the Danger 1000 Ocean Swim will spend the final days preparing for the two challenging events. Last minute entries will close tomorrow, January 13, with the two-day festival kicking off on Friday night and continuing throughout Saturday with race options for the whole family. Competitors in the 8km Bells Bash Cliff Run are expected to exceed 1,000 which is huge growth in the seven years since

sports

inception. The spectacular course will take runners along the cliff from Jan Juc surf club to Bells Beach and back, with those wanting a lighter alternative choosing the four kilometre walk/run instead. On Saturday is the Danger 1000 Ocean Swim at Torquay back beach. Contrary to the name, the swim is one of the most protected and calm of the circuit and logistically a breeze for competitors. Spectators can enjoy being able to watch both the start and finish of

each wave from comfort of the grass on the natural amphitheatre at Cosy Corner too. In its 11th year, the Danger 1000 swim established itself early in the ocean swim craze and grew fast to be one of the biggest in the country. Renowned for its great prizes it has attracted some of Australia’s best with Ironman star, Ky Hurst, holding the record in a sizzling eight minutes 47 seconds. Jan Juc surf club members will be vying for podium spots with Brian Lim a hopeful

contender. He has training partner, Scott Prosser, as a challenger who is familiar with top three finishes. Madeleine Smith, who was plagued by illness last season, is also in great form leading the women out of the Anaconda Adventure Race and no doubt keen to improve on her 3rd place from 2009. Laura Steckelenburg might have something to say about that with her eye on moving up one place to first in

Walking for a cure DRYSDALE’s Blaise White and Geelong’s Alex Dodds are preparing to walk 400 kilometres in 11 days to raise money for cancer research and treatment. The two 16 year olds have decided to ‘Walk for a Cure’ during this year’s September school holidays to support

the Australian Cancer Research Foundation and The Andrew Love Centre. They will walk from Drysdale to Tocumwal in New South Wales in 11 days, averaging 37km a day. The teenagers’ grandfather died from pancreatic cancer in November last year

and the walk is dedicated to him and all cancer sufferers. Blaise and Alex aim to raise more than $10,000 though fundraising and sponsorship. They have several fundraisers planned and donations can be made by contacting them by email on AlexDoddsWalk4acure@hotmail.com

FROM THE WITH TORQUAY BOWLING CLUB

HERE we go folks for another year. As the bowls club enters its 10th decade of providing sporting facilities for our town, the future has never looked more exciting. The consultations on the future use and development of our Taylor Park site are nearing completion and the way ahead should be much clearer at the end of the month. The amount of activity around the club over the holiday season suggests that after a general dip in bowls participation across Australia, people are again beginning to see it as far more than a way to keep the elderly off the streets. The twilight and barefoot events are attracting excellent roll-ups and there is plenty more on over the next few weeks for anyone who wants to get out there and find out just was a great activity it is. With our greens in as good

“We invite concerned local businesses, charter operators, angling clubs and keen fishing enthusiasts alike to have their say,” Henderson said. “The Victorian recreational fishing industry alone believes the cost of the ban could remove $150 million off the state’s economy.” The minister’s plan to list longfin mako, shortfin mako and porbeagle shark species

a shape as they have been for a long time, we are also attracting large fields for club events. And the greens are also being used increasingly frequently by the regional bodies for championship events. Over the next couple of weeks the RVBA and VLBA pennant competitions resume for the run to the finals and the club is also deep into its own championship events. In fact, anyone interested in watching a great game of bowls, and maybe having a quiet drink afterwards should make their way to the club this Friday to see the clubs top men and women players battle it out in the championship finals. And while you are there you could stay on for one of the increasingly popular Friday night meals. They are the best value in town at $15 a head for two courses and just $7 for children. Bookings preferred.

Shark ban public forum A PUBLIC forum to discuss the Federal Government’s decision to ban fishing for mako sharks in Commonwealth waters will be held in Torquay next Tuesday.

The Junior Juc Bash fun run is a new addition for kids aged five to 12 and the Danger Young Guns swim for 9 to 13 year olds. The events are conducted by Jan Juc SLSC and all proceeds will contribute to helping keep the beach safe. For details and entry forms, visit www. janjucsurfclub.com.au

under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act will be introduced at the end of January. “The minister needs to demonstrate to the fishing community what science is behind his proposal and the status of these shark species in Australian waters,” Henderson said.

Two full fields took to the course on Wednesday and Thursday in the Lonsdale Amateur Classic Tournament, representing an invasion of golfers from other clubs. The weather did its part and the course was in fine playing condition. At the same time, the clubhouse was a scene of very busy activity with respect to the bar and restaurant. Diners each night were well patronised with a full house on Friday. It is a great credit to the grounds and house staff for the efficient way they handled the demanding situation. Another big occasion looming is the Schweppes Pro Am at Lonsdale on

BY GARRY KERR

looking after guides, except for one small exception, my group was involved in the production of a television programme for Coxyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Break. The programme will showcase just some of the activities that can be enjoyed in Anglesea, the heart of the Surf Coast. Looking after the girl guides and helping Coxy catch some fish certainly makes for a busy day. In fact, Coxy actually caught two bream, 23cm and 25cm respectively. Unfortunately for him they were under size and he soon returned them to the water. With access to fishing, canoeing, swimming, surfing and great beaches all within minutes of each other, the programme should be entertaining to say the least. As well as fishing, Coxy was able to manage a game of cricket on the beach, a ride on the paddle boats with the Anglesea Paddle Boats & Canoe Hire and he was also able to enjoy some great seafood nachos with a glass of wine from the deck of the Great Ocean Bite Cafe & Bistro while taking in the vistas of the Anglesea River. As far as Coxy was concerned, Anglesea had it all, and as he said, it was all right there at his fingertips. Hopefully the programme will help people realise what is on their doorstep.

LAST week was an interesting in more ways than one. We were lucky enough to be part of the worldwide Girl Guide Jamboree, which involved more than 3,000 guides, who have been based in Geelong. We were asked to provide fishing clinics for some of these girls. Taking 150 girl guides and leaders and teaching them to fish can be a daunting task, but our instructors on the day were confident they were up to the task. The guides, themselves, from what I hear and saw had a great day with many catching good numbers of bream with a good number above legal size. Girl guides from overseas had the chance to experience (in some instances for the first time) the thrill of being able to catch a fish and then being able to release it back into the water. All of the fish caught were released safely back into the water. Now this may sound relatively easy, but for our instructors who had the fun of removing the hooks at the same time holding the bream, I can assure you that it certainly is no easy task, with excited guides waiting to release the fish. For my own part this day was no different, catching bream and releasing them, baiting up hooks and
