GOLDEN GATEWAY

Plans for major expansion of Leopold’s Gateway Plaza could provide jobs boost for Bellarine

BY ALISON MARTIN A SUB-SHOPPING centre employing up to 1,000 local people is being planned for Leopold. City of Greater Geelong has started the planning process to enable a major expansion of Leopold’s Gateway Plaza, which could include two supermarkets, a major department store and a cinema. Plaza owner, Lascorp Development Group, envisage the centre will grow with the region and has welcomed council’s move to establish Leopold

Surf Forecast

as a sub-regional centre. Lascorp national development manager, Robert Harris, said Lascorp had always believed Leopold was the appropriate place for a major retail centre. “Really, at the moment, anyone from the Bellarine has to drive to Geelong for shopping,” he said. Harris said it was too early to reveal plans, but a sub-regional centre at Leopold was likely to be similar to the Waurn Ponds shopping centre. “Sub-regional centres generally have two supermarkets, a department store plus office space

and retail,” he said. “It would be similar to Waurn Ponds but Leopold would be better planned and we could get it right from day one rather than adding here and there. “There is also the opportunity to integrate Memorial Park into the plans for any retail development and we’re keen to expand the centre. “Once the council process moves along we can start to look at what would actually be included. “This could create 600 or 700 jobs and then more to service it. And in these sub-regional shopping

centres, 99 per cent of staff are local people.” City of Greater Geelong councillor and Leopold resident, Rod Macdonald, said as part of the planning for a major activity centre development, council was looking at Leopold’s urban design framework and how the recreation areas could be integrated with the retail centre. “In 2006, Leopold was identified as a subregional centre and this planning work carries on from that. Now we need to do the work to make it happen. It’s an exciting opportunity,” he said.

Covering the Bellarine Peninsula & Surf Coast

Despite the weather, Ocean Grove’s Summer Festival was another great success. There was a fun, festival atmosphere in the Terrace on Sunday with plenty of locals and visitors of all ages taking advantage of the free entertainment. Congratulations to everyone involved in putting on this fantastic community event.

Funding for Barwon Heads

Funds have been provided for the upgrade of the park in Sea Bank Estate, Barwon Heads, which will get under way shortly. Funds have also been provided to complete works on the Barwon Heads Skate Park. Landscaping and car parking will be completed in the near future. The skate park has been a huge success with local skaters; it’s rare to see it not in use.

Night Bus service extended to Drysdale/Clifton Springs

From February 1, the Central Geelong Night Bus will offer a new service to Drysdale/Clifton Springs to help people from these areas to get home safely after a night out in Geelong. Leaving Moorabool Street (between Malop and Little Malop Street) at 2.30am every Saturday night (Sunday mornings) throughout February and March 2010, the Drysdale/Clifton Springs service will cost just $5 per person. Security personnel will be on board at all times. The new Drysdale and Clifton Springs service has been introduced in response to passenger requests. Plus we received feedback from these communities about the need for transport to the area. Tickets can be purchased as you board the Night Bus or beforehand at City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centres. Tickets are $5 per person and multi-ride tickets are also

available for $25. For further information including a Central Geelong Night Bus timetable and a map of all Night Bus routes, visit www.geelongaustralia. com.au or call the City on 5272 5272.

Trial for new bus service linking Bellarine to Surf Coast ends this month

On the subject of transport, the trial of the new bus service linking Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay and Jan Juc ends on January 31. The service runs three return trips daily at a cost of $3.40 return (or $1.70 concession). Surfboards can be stored in the luggage compartment. The trial service has been set up so that residents can finally travel on public transport to Torquay and Jan Juc without detouring via Geelong. If you haven’t caught the bus yet, give it a go. It’s an initiative of the State Government’s Department of Transport and McHarry’s Buslines, supported by the City of Greater Geelong. For timetable info go to www.mcharrys.com. au or call McHarry’s on 5223 2111.

Gearing up for the show ENTRIES are open and plans are being finalised for new attractions at the 20th annual Bellarine Agricultural Show. Bellarine Agricultural Show Society president, Don McDonald, said this year’s show would have a strong focus on families with more rides and activities for young children. He said Surfside Primary School in Ocean Grove, would be involved in a new garden section, sharing its Stephanie Alexander Garden experience with show visitors. Children will be able to learn about permaculture and take home their own mini-worm farm from the show. The 2010 show will also feature traditional animal, homecraft and produce competitions and displays, including the popular horse section. “Last year we had entries from around Victoria, including Castlemaine and Warragul and we expect at

least as many as last year,� McDonald said. “The horses are the biggest drawcard and we get good representation of all breeds in the cattle section. The Simmentals probably get the most entries and there are usually a few in each of the dairy cattle sections.� Entries are invited for horses, cattle, pigeons and poultry, cookery, flowers, floral design, pot plants and produce, china painting, handcrafts, home brew, vintage, beaut ute, art and photography, dog jumping, pets competitions, skate competition and showgirl and boy sections. Most sections have categories for juniors, with a popular schools section covering handcrafts, novelties and arts. McDonald said the show schedule was out, entries would close on February 25, and further information was available by phoning 0412 306 678. The Bellarine Agricultural Show will be held on March 7 at Portarlington Recreation Reserve.

Have your say on local council Australia Day celebrations BELLARINE residents have until tomorrow, January 20, to have their say on local government, including the number of Victorian municipalities and councillors. The State Electoral Representation Review was launched prior to Christmas and provides an opportunity for local residents to express their views on a range of important council-related issues and possible improvements. Former City of Greater Geelong councillor and Bellarine Futures Alliance convenor, Tom O’Connor, has urged community members to make submissions and bring about positive change to local government in Victoria. He said his submission would suggest a

reduction in the number of State municipalities to improve management, minimise replication and enable “more appropriate decision making�. “I think local government should be linked more closely with federal and state policies and their instrumentalities including water boards, road, rail, air and sea bodies,� O’Connor said. He said if the size and complexity of state government could be reduced, then larger local government municipalities could be empowered through greater accountability for their own future and the selection, training and performance of their staff. Visit www.localgovernment.vic.gov.au for a submission form and more information.

IF CAPTAIN Cook was arriving at Botany Bay in 2010, he would definitely turn the ship around and sail to the Bellarine to join next week’s Australia Day celebrations. The Borough of Queenscliffe will host a flag ceremony and annual awards presentation on January 26, with community members acknowledged for the contribution to the borough. Awards will include Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year and Community Service of the Year. Every family will receive a native tree and the event will also include children’s activities and a traditional Aussie sausage sizzle. The celebration will be held at the Queenscliff Town Hall in Learmonth Street, starting at 11am.

The Ocean Grove community will mark the national day with a fun day on the beach. The Ocean Grove-Barwon Heads Lions Club will host the Australia Day Free Kite Flying Family Day at Ocean Grove’s main beach, off Surf Beach Road, from 10am. There will be free kite making for all children and free Aussie face painting for everyone. Lions Club member, Colin Lowe, encouraged the community to “be early� for the celebrations because kite numbers are limited. Contact Lowe on 5255 1232 for further details. Geelong will also throw a party at Rippleside Park in Drumcondra, with a flag raising ceremony and a range of free children’s rides and activities, on Australia Day from 11am-4pm.

Queenscliff set to host students

STUDENTS from across Victoria will be visiting the Bellarine this week to find out more about a career in marine science. The 20 students will be part of The Science Experience, hosted by the Department of Primary Industries, Marine Discovery Centre and the Victorian Marine Science Consortium at Queenscliff. The Science Experience is a national programme highlighting the wide range of careers that allow students to pursue their interest and develop their abilities in the sciences. The Science Experience Queenscliff co-ordinator, Pam Haebich, said the reputation of the Marine Discovery Centre as an international leader in marine education led to the centre being chosen to host the programme in partnership with the Victorian Marine Science Consortium. The consortium includes Deakin, Melbourne, Monash, RMIT and Victoria universities, along with CSIRO, EPA Victoria and Fisheries Victoria. It operates research and teaching facilities at Queenscliff, alongside the MDC and Fisheries

Victoria. “We are thrilled to be involved and have this opportunity to promote marine science as a career,” Haebich said. “The Science Experience involves three days of activities where the students will work under the guidance of scientists who are passionate about their work.. “They will participate in a range of experiments and presentations covering marine ecology, biology and botany, introduced species and animal physiology. “We have also planned fascinating handson activities, including a marine biology cruise, rockpool ramble, canoeing in Swan Bay and snorkelling at Queenscliff beach.” What: When: Where:

Educational fun by the beach THE DOLPHIN Research Institute’s 2010 ‘i sea, i care’ Challenge has started around Port Philip Bay, with free marine activities on Bellarine beaches. Families can learn about dolphins and meet the institute’s researchers at the Indented Head jetty or St Leonards pier this Thursday, January 21. Institute executive director, Jeff Weir, said the institute’s goal was to convince Victorians that the living treasures in our bays were too precious to lose. “Most of the species in our region are not found anywhere else in the world,” he said.

“At the same time the institute’s research team will conduct surveys for dolphins and environmental issues. “Our dolphins have been found to be a new species and are threatened by pollution caused by us living around our bays.” The institute’s education team will host the fun marine education programmes for families at Indented Head jetty from 10am-11.30am and at St Leonards pier from 1pm-2.30pm. Giveaways and competition will be available with each programme. Booking is not required but the institute advises families to check for changes to scheduling by phoning 1300 130 949.

Bellarine Landcare boost

BELLARINE Landcare will receive almost $20,000 to eradicate weeds and plant indigenous species along the Bellarine Rail Trail. The funding has been allocated through the Australian Government Caring for Country Action Grants. Bellarine Landcare’s application explained the peninsula had been significantly degraded by land clearing, inappropriate land use, increasing settlement and pest infestations.

The Bellarine Rail Trail runs through grassy woodland vegetation which is now classified as endangered and the environmental group’s project will concentrate on weed eradication and the planting of appropriate local provenance indigenous species. Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the project would protect a host of important natural assets on the Bellarine Peninsula and provide a boost for tourism.

The Dolphin Research Institute’s summer programme attracted an enthusiastic crowd at Indented Head last year and is expected to be popular again during this week’s activities.

Mixing art with wine BY ALISON MARTIN

LEURA Park Estate’s vivid green vines and dry summer grasses have inspired a unique al fresco sculpture exhibition by local artist Jim Howson. The Curlewis vineyard is the backdrop for the presentation of Howson’s huge steel sculptures, which are positioned to lead their audience on a meandering journey through the ‘cow paddock’. Howson lives in Geelong, after retiring from farming in 2006 to concentrate on his passion for sculpting. “I have always been intrigued by the qualities of steel from its organic beginnings to its ultimate precise and structural form,” he said. Howson said his art was also influenced by his engineering and machinery experience on the farm, along with his appreciation and understanding of nature. “There are so many natural forms around us, by absorbing all those fantastic shapes, images are formed and created spontaneously,” he said. “You have an image evolving again in your mind yet a solid piece is evolving right in front of you.” The ‘Growth is a Journey’ exhibition was created

specifically for the winery’s paddock and has provided wide exposure for Howson, with thousands of visitors travelling to the Bellarine during the summer holiday period. Howson said the pieces sculpted for the Leura Park Estate exhibition needed to be large scale for the huge outdoor ‘gallery’, but all sculptures could be re-created as smaller pieces for home gardens. Leura Park Estate’s Lyndsay Sharp said the exhibition had been hailed as a success for both Howson and the local winery, with wine tastings complemented by the open-air exhibition. She said it was the first time the vineyard had hosted an exhibition and she had received overwhelming feedback from visitors. “People love it and we’ll definitely have more art or sculpture exhibitions in the future,” Sharp said. Howson has been a finalist in numerous prestigious sculpture exhibitions and shows and has been commissioned to create work for several private collections. The sculptures will remain on exhibition every day during January from 10.30am-5pm. Tuckerberry Hill’s new café has become so popular in its first few weeks of operation that children and even grandchildren have been brought into the business! The blueberry farm’s owners, Chris and David Lean, have been kept busy with thousands of visitors picking berries and enjoying blueberry treats, including Chris’ desert cake ‘Blueberry Buckle’. Their daughter, Alison Kooloos, (pictured) has been helping in the café and says ice-cream and blueberry sauce has been a big hit on the warm days.

Jim Howson was inspired by the colours and beauty of the Bellarine to create his sculptures.

Point Lonsdale public meeting COMMUNITY group ‘People Out and About Point Lonsdale’ will host a public meeting to identify problems, opportunities and safety upgrades to the pathways and local streets around the town. POAPL and the Point Lonsdale Civic Association (PLCA) are urging residents and visitors who use paths and roads in Point Lonsdale to attend the meeting and contribute their views and ideas to improve accessibility. Pedestrians, cyclists, parents with prams and pushers and electric scooter riders should have their say and identify areas which require attention. POAPL has received encouragement from Borough of Queenscliffe councillors to consult with other pathway users and help identify potential budget

initiatives. All borough residents can submit budget proposals to the borough by February 3 and POAPL will use information gathered at the public meeting in its submission. PLCA secretary, Peter Rumpf, said the effective implementation of the wide-ranging recommendations in the Point Lonsdale Structure plan was an important objective of the association. The community pathways meeting will be held in the Point Lonsdale Uniting Church Hall on Thursday, January 21, at 7.30 pm. For more information on the meeting or to raise an issue at the meeting by pre-registering, visit poapl. blogspot.com

Produce here to stay

PORT Produce is alive and well, thanks to community support and the commitment offered by local farmers. The farmers’ market style event will now be held every Friday, enabling Portarlington district residents and visitors to access fresh, affordable produce every week.

The market also provides a regular venue for local producers to sell their goods at a reasonable price and reduces “food miles�. The market is running throughout the holidays on Friday mornings from 8.30am. Produce includes fruit, vegetables, honey, flowers and much more.

Environmental consultant Georgina von Einem, Bellarine Bayside green team member Grant Pocock get ready for ‘Love the Planet, Love the Park’ and sand sculptors Jim McCauley and his son Jarrah prepare the beach for sculpting.

Festival proves a whole lot of fun Denise and Ian McLaverty are regulars at Port Produce with their flower stall, supported by Bellarine Community Health’s Suzi Douglass (centre)

New look for Jo’s Boutique JO’S PORTSIDE Boutique has new owners and is set for a new name and new range of labels and accessories. Sandy and Dean Hillman, from Indented Head, took over the Portarlington business on December 23, inspired by their daughter, Montana’s passion for bags, jewellery and beautiful accessories.

The business will be renamed Montana’s soon but it’s business as usual at the moment, with thousands of seasonal and local customers keeping the Hillman’s busy during their first few weeks in the boutique. Jo’s Portside Boutique, which originally opened in Brown Street, is located in Newcombe Street, Portarlington.

BELLARINE Bayside Holiday Park’s inaugural Sustainability Festival has shown visitors how sustainability can be fun. The festival was held at Portarlington last Friday with a sandcastle competition, kids fishing challenge, colouring competition and, most popular of all, a recycling relay. Environmental consultant and event organiser, Georgina von Einem, said the relay attracted a group of energetic and high-spirited contestants who were given bags of mixed waste, asked to sort out the recyclable material and then run down the beach and deposit each item into the correct bin. “Who would have thought kids could have so much fun with a bag of rubbish,� she said. “For the sandcastle competition, contestants were asked to fashion their sculptures around an environmental theme.� The staff and management of Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee organised the activities for

campers and visitors to Portarlington under the theme ‘Love the Planet, Love the Park’. The aim was to show how everyone can become involved in sustainability initiatives. Volunteers from Bellarine Bayside’s partners Barwon Water, Fishcare Victoria, Coastcare, Corrangamite Waterwatch and Barwon Regional Waste Management Group supported the festival with information displays and giveaways, with local businesses donating prizes. Bellarine Bayside chief executive Tim Page-Walker, said the festival was a fun way of showing how everyone can help reduce the park’s impact on the environment. “We have been working hard during the quiet season upgrading facilities like the toilet blocks to make them more water and energy efficient. Things like dual flush toilets and water saving showerheads have enabled us to achieve a 15 per cent reduction in water consumption for the 2008/2009 financial year,� he said.

Support grows for ferry BY ALISON MARTIN

MORE than 600 people expressed interest in the proposed Bellarine Ferry at Portarlington’s Mussel Festival this month. Bellarine Ferry Group secretary, John Rae, said visitors were waiting at the display stand well before the official opening time and crowds of people attended throughout the day. “The two main questions asked were ‘what’s the status of the project?’ and ‘what can I do to help get the ferry up and running?’.� he said. “We were told countless stories during the day of how poor the transport system from

the Bellarine Peninsula to Melbourne was, especially at the peak travel times. “We also heard as many positive phrases like ‘a daily ferry service to Melbourne would be terrific’, ‘I can’t wait until this happens, it is so desperately needed!’ and ‘a daily ferry service would be the shot in the arm for all businesses on the Bellarine’.� Rae said many visitors who lived in Melbourne stated that a daily ferry service would allow them to move to the Bellarine Peninsula to gain a better lifestyle while still being able to earn a living by working in Melbourne’s CBD. “It was clear that a great number of holiday

homes currently unused for the majority of the year would become permanent homes if a ferry service was operating,� he said. “Over the past year the Bellarine Ferry Group has spoken with thousands of people who support the group’s aim of establishing a daily commuter ferry service between Portarlington and Melbourne and believe it would be a wonderful way to travel between The Bellarine and CBD.� The ferry group is currently awaiting the results of a survey and analysis funded by state government and the City of Greater Geelong to determine the proposed ferry’s use and viability.

The Bellarine Ferry Group presentation at the Portarlington Mussel Festival attracted widespread interest and support, with Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney, joining the long line of visitors.

You Yangs and Melbourne skyline�. The event promises “exquisite finger food� prepared by chef David Warmisham-Hall, locally grown produce of the Bellarine including olives, olive oil, goat cheese, tomatoes, blueberries and an array of seafood from mussels to whiting.

Medals lead the way to South Africa TORQUAY’S Aerosport Allstars instructor, Justine Bratanavicius, will travel to South Africa in the coming months to coach the country’s sport aerobics team. The South African team was so impressed with her coaching skills and her team’s achievements at the World Aerobics Championships last month they have recruited her to train their sport aerobic athletes. Bratanavicius said she was excited by the offer to coach the South African team and commended her team’s performance at the world championships,

held in the Caribbean. She said Brenton Andreoli won gold in the junior male individual section and together with Jan Juc’s 16-year-old Emily Daniels, won a second gold medal in the junior mixed pair. Allstars team member, Cameron Brown, won bronze in the senior male category and together with Laura Ellul, won silver in the senior mixed pair section. Bratanavicius said to win four world championship medals with only four athletes from

the Aerosport club competing was amazing. “It was a huge achievement and I am so proud of them; they all worked so hard last year they deserve the success,” she said. Bratanavicius said sport and dance aerobics had become so popular that Aerosport Allstars would soon be opening a full-time studio.

Visit a seaside summer garden FLORA lovers are in for a treat this weekend when the Lewis family garden will be open to the public as part of the Australian Open Garden Scheme. Complementing a spectacular modern home and framing wonderful sea views, the Lewis Garden at 2 Bronwyn Court, Anglesea, is an inspiring contemporary garden of native and exotic plants. The front garden is a mixture of healthy indigenous and native plantings, including different lomandras and kangaroo paws. Shell-grit paths meander between the mounds and lead to the contrasting back garden, where lavender hedging flows into a row of buddleias now covered in mauve blooms. An espaliered olive adds to the silvery grey foliage which provides a sympathetic link to the native plantings in front. A mixture of old-fashioned and modern roses contribute to the predominantly mauve, pink and white floral palette with shots of red added for interest. A wisteria provides shade and a good dry stone adds structure. Botanical art will also be on display and the garden will be open on Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 4.30pm at an entry fee of $6, with children under 18 admitted free. Proceeds from the weekend will go towards

the neo-natal intensive care unit at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. Australia’s Open Garden Scheme is a not-forprofit organisation promoting the knowledge and pleasure of gardens and gardening. Each year the scheme opens the finest and most exciting private gardens across Australia to the public.

The club has a proud competition record, where it has won a number of state IRB titles.

PUBLIC NOTICE

CAT CURFEW INTRODUCED The City of Greater Geelong has introduced a cat curfew, which means cats must be kept indoors or securely confined between sunset and sunrise. Implementation of this curfew has now commenced and we will assist cat owners with advice and information. All registered cat owners will receive a letter and brochure outlining the cat curfew requirements next week. This is a key recommendation from the City’s Domestic Animal Management Plan, developed in consultation with residents. Keeping a cat indoors at night helps protect it from cat fights, disease and car accidents. It also helps protect local wildlife.

Jess Farley (left) and Jess Grills are both in training for their Bronze medallion at 13th Beach.

Contrary to popular belief, cats don’t have to roam. In fact, cats kept indoors at night generally live at least three times longer than cats allowed to roam.

Photos: MARK HEENAN

Cats must also be refrained from roaming uninvited onto other people’s properties during the day. This will avoid situations where cats sometimes destroy plants, attack birds, damage items, defecate in gardens, fight with other cats and create other nuisance situations.

Course Trainer Jackson Bell with the first aid kit outside 13th Beach SLSC clubrooms.

Get behind the bus service

our community to ensure that we continue to have it. Get on board everyone. Noel Scott Ocean Grove

Dear Editor, I recently had the pleasure of catching the new bus service between Queenscliff and Jan Juc. It was great that it was direct to Torquay, and the cost of $3.40 for a day pass was cheaper than the coffee I bought in Torquay. There were no parking worries, other traffic problems or petrol costs – just sit back and enjoy the trip. It was a pity that more people were not on the bus, but it was around the Christmas shopping period. I am sure the bus will be great supported during the warmer, January days. It is not only for the young people getting around the surf areas, but a good service for us older people too. Congratulations to McHarry’s Buslines and all the others involved in making the service available. Although this service has the potential to offer a much-needed extension to the public bus options on the Bellarine Peninsula, it needs to be more frequent. There also needs to be improved connections to the bus service between Drysdale and Ocean Grove, so that people on the north side of the Bellarine Peninsula can enjoy it. It is a great service, but it needs more support from

Disapproval at circus in town Dear Editor, Has anyone stopped by the Perry Brothers Circus in Torquay and seen the magnificent tethered elephant? If you have, did you stop long enough to notice that it is tethered on a 30-metre chain in a very small electrified enclosure? Our family did. Haven’t we evolved enough in our human family to realise that wild animals for our entertainment is no longer acceptable? We need to rally as a community and lobby our local councillors to insist that circuses using wild animals are not welcome in our community, and have no place in a progressive, aware and sensitive society. We reject whaling, we reject bears being kept for their bile and we reject caged chicken eggs – what’s the difference?

We would like to see you take our family’s political, social and animal rights stand and boycott this and any other circus that use animals for our thrills. Liarne Corke and Charlotte Guthrie

Poor guidance for young riders Dear Editor, Residents of Barrabool were astounded to see motocross riders ‘ripping it up’ at McAdam Park on January 12 – a total fire ban day. Some of the activity was conducted within several metres of long grass. The chief executive officer of Motorcycling Australia took swift action to cease the activity around midday after he was alerted and he should be congratulated for this. But who in the local motorcycling fraternity sanctioned this event on a total fire ban day? Ironically, this was apparently a rider education event. Young riders deserve better guidance.

Help keep your muscles healthy BY SARAH LAWRENCE REMEDIAL massage therapist Kate Cartwright’s friendly and practical manner never fails to put her patients at ease. Her business, Sustainable Body Massage, follows the philosophy that the body should be sustained through healthy living and looking after the muscles. Cartwright also has an environmentally sustainable attitude to her work, where she makes a conscious effort to use biodegradable washing power on the towels, energy efficient light globes and she works from home when able. Cartwright decided to take up remedial massage after finishing her nursing degree at Deakin University in Warrnambool two years ago. “Through nursing I’ve seen the increase in general lifestyle diseases,� she said. “If I can help people maintain an active level by decreasing their muscle soreness then that is my link in the chain. “After univeristy I was very shocked by chronic illnesses I saw

from nursing and I wanted to do something extra to help so I took up remedial massage.� Apart from her massage therapy, Cartwright also works as a renal nurse. “The massage therapy has made being a nurse a lot more interesting. I feel I understand my patients better,� she said. Cartwright’s warm and down-toearth personality has already ensured she has many loyal clients. “I like to chat to people about preventing poor health through promotion of exercise and a positive attitude,� she said. “It’s a huge area that remedial massage therapists can have an impact on while we talk to them.� When not at work, Cartwright sustains her own health through bike riding and running. She recently completed Amy’s Ride as well as the Geelong Cotton On Fun Run. Kate Cartwright is available on Fridays at Marumi Smith’s Massage Therapy at 86 Alleyne Avenue, Torquay, or at her own clinic at 15 Cheryl Crescent, Belmont.

A NEW funding scheme has opened aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of people in local communities, through technology and the arts. The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) grants will fund a broad range of initiatives to increase arts participation, as well as individual and community connections. “The new Technology, Arts and Social Connection (TASC) Scheme intends to support arts and community organisations to work with people of all ages as well as from culturally diverse backgrounds,� said VicHealth chief executive officer, Todd Harper. “A focus of the scheme emphasises active community participation in planning and decision making processes. “Involvement is the key. There is evidence that when we are involved in the arts it is good for our wellbeing. “Technology offers us new opportunities to create connections between individuals and communities. “We also encourage organisations to think about ways of addressing barriers to social participation.� Grants of up to $25,000 are available to support initiatives by arts and community groups, organisations and partnerships to undertake activities that build social connection through innovative engagement with the digital environment. Applications close on 15 February 2010. Arts organisations (including arts peak/advocacy bodies working in partnership with member organisations) and community organisations are invited to apply.

Industry Info

Colley joins the Hayden team BY SARAH LAWRENCE

First home buyer assistance changes ON JANUARY 1 the amount of government financial assistance for first home buyers decreased. Since the assistance was introduced it has been welcomed not only by first home buyers but also vendors and builders. The total financial assistance for a first home buyer when purchasing an established home in Victoria is now $9,000. This is comprised of the state government’s grant, which is worth $7,000, and the bonus, which is worth $2,000. The federal government Boost, which was worth $3,500, ceased on December, 31 last year. A higher level of assistance remains for first home buyers who are purchasing a new home. Within metropolitan Melbourne $18,000 can be accessed, comprising the grant ($7,000) and the bonus ($11,000). The federal government boost, which was worth $7,000, also ceased on December 31 last year. If your first home is a newly constructed one outside metropolitan Melbourne, a total of $22,500 worth of assistance can be accessed. This comprises the grant ($7,000), the bonus ($11,000) and the regional bonus, which is worth $4,500. The federal government boost, which was worth $7,000, ceased on December 31 last year. The grant, which was introduced on July, 1, 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership, is an ongoing scheme and the bonus will cease on June, 30 this year unless further funding is provided. More details on eligibility for financial assistance can be found at www.sro.gov.au

“While I was rowing I came close to making the Olympic team and met my wife through the sport,” said Colley. Yet the sports action does not stop there, Colley has had a heavy involvement in Jiu Jitsu, where he won an Australian title in 1996 as well as a silver medal at the Pan Pacific Games. “Jiu Jitsu taught me a lot of discipline and dedication. Also how to be calm and focused when you’re under pressure, which I hope I’ll use in real estate,” he said. He has also always remained committed to life saving at the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club since his days as a Nipper. He has been a member of the rowing crew and enjoyed the close friends he has made through the club. When not working, Colley uses every spare moment to spend with his wife, Anthea, and two sons, Joshua, 4 and Ethan, 6. For inquiries, phone Simon Colley on 0400 895 472 or email simonc@hayden.com.au

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

THE NEWEST team member at Hayden Real Estate Torquay is the calm and friendly Simon Colley. Born and bred in Torquay, he comes to Hayden’s to work alongside Patrick Hayden with a wealth of knowledge about the area and a passion for property. Previously a builder, Colley has been involved in building many of Torquay’s landmarks, including the police station, fire station, RSL building and many houses. Since beginning his building apprenticeship at age 17, he has always had a passion for investing in property. “I’ve invested in many houses and land through

the years. I love the thrill of the industry,” he said. From his building and investing experience, Colley believes he will be able to strike the right balance with vendors and buyers alike. “I’ve got lots of empathy for both buyers and sellers. I can cover all aspects. From my building experience, I can show people how to fix little problems in their house to get the best results,” he said. “And from investing, I’ve learned all the technical terms and seen how vital it is for agents to stick by their vendors.” Apart from his working life, Colley, 33, has always been a highly active and talented sportsman. In his late teens he was part of the state rugby union team followed by an interest in rowing.

Small, beautiful and responsible

“In an age of “McMansions,” an International survey of the latest in residential architecture proves that small is beautiful and responsible. It found people are becoming more environmentally aware and genuinely wanted designs that make maximum use of the smallest possible footprint in order to protect the environment. To that end, Blue Cove Homes has developed a number of homes based on the Japanese concept of combining indoor/outdoor living. The homes have been designed to fit on

smart blocks in the 350m2 to 400m2 size range and proves that efficiency as well as beautiful, thoughtful design can be had in a tiny setting without compromising the elements people expect in their homes. Functionality and Style have been the driving force throughout the design with a focus on the following 3 points: • Buildings, and the features within, must be appropriate to the clients needs and be easy to use and maintain

• Buildings should be beautiful and instil a feeling of sanctuary • Buildings must be space efficient and use the minimum footprint. Blue Cove Homes has incorporated into these designs Passive Solar principals, this is to minimise the need for heating and cooling and make the home work well. For more information on this design phone 1300 858 228 or email office@bluecovehomes. com.au or visit www.bluecovehomes.com.au

Andrew, Melinda and the team at Hotondo Homes in Ocean Grove are currently in the process of constructing a new display home in the Arlington Rise estate, Portarlington. The Dakota 267 display, which is expected to open at the beginning of March, will feature 28.7 squares of living and entertaining space. It will also include an alfresco dining area and attached double garage. Having worked in the building industry for the past 16 years, Andrew understands the needs of the local area and has experience building all styles of homes, including modern, traditional and coastal designs. Being part of the Hotondo Homes building network means he has access to more than 90 floor plans ranging in size from 15 square designs perfect for first home buyers through to 40 square homes for families looking to upsize. Each floor plan can be modified to adapt to any individual needs the client may have. Clients also receive fixed-price contracts before construction begins so they are not surprised by any hidden extras further down the track. Andrew and Melinda have a showroom located on the corner of Grubb Road and Sinclair Street, Ocean Grove, where customers can view a large range of floor plans, house designs and building products. The showroom is open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 11am-3pm, or by appointment.

Little delivers a lot in building AND DESIGN

TORQUAY building company Little Constructions ticks all the boxes when it comes to creating new homes and renovations that are unique, environmentally-friendly and stress-free. Mark Little prides himself on maintaining a hands-on presence in every project – from initial quotes and contracts through to project management and pulling on a nail bag when required, Little understands the importance of being involved every step of the way.

surfcoasttimes.com.au

“From day one it is critical to ensure all parties are headed in the same direction,” said Little, who stays in weekly – and often daily – contact with his clients. “Contrary to popular belief, there are constant decisions to be made throughout the construction process and our clients appreciate being kept up to date.” At the start of each project, Little conducts a site meeting with the client and a draftsperson to ensure the individuality of the design and to establish a passive solar orientation.

“Most people now understand the environmental and economic value of passive solar buildings and our clients are always pleased to know Little Constructions incorporates it into every design,” he said. Little is a fully-accredited and award-winning builder with more than 15 years’ industry experience and many happy clients across the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong.

Teen star on the rise BY SARAH LAWRENCE TORQUAY teenager Chris Hay is quickly making a name for himself. At 18, he has already been touted as the next Xavier Rudd – and while that may be a big burden to carry at such a young age, Hay is enjoying the ride. The teenager has been making a name for himself on the local scene playing at venues including Left Off The Rocks, Bomboras and the deck at the Anglesea Surf Club. He describes his music as a mix of “a touch of old school Mowtown, some blues, jazzy tones and reggae with a bit of Xavier Rudd thrown in”. “All through school I was really into Xavier Rudd, so he was a big influence on my music,” Hay said. “I used to take off my shoes performing at school. People used to ask why and I’d say Xav does it.” One of the common traits between Hay and Rudd is that they both play the didgeridoo and stomp box. “I went to Darwin two years ago and brought a didgeridoo. After that it inspired me to teach myself to circular breath and bring it into my performances,” Hay said. He believes his performing talent was inherited from his Scottish grandfather, who used to sing in pubs.

AE WINE | FOOD | GIGS | ARTS

Hay has found as he is getting older, he has become more disciplined with his music. “Lately I’ve been scrapping a lot of my songs because I think they are naive and childish,” he said. “As I’ve developed as a musician I’ve been crafting my songs more carefully and putting more pressure on myself to make them really good. “I write about what is happening in my life. Things like moving to the beach, girls that I like and how life works for me at the moment.” Since finishing Year 12 last November, Hay has been enjoying life and continuing to play music while preparing for his next step – starting a music performance course at the Gordon Institute of Tafe. “On stage I’m most comfortable, I’m in my element. Some people say I’m shy but on stage all that changes,” Hay said. “I really want to continue with my music. After I started playing guitar at age 12, I got straight into it and knew that was what I wanted to do.” Hay will be performing at Left Off The Rocks this Sunday night. Torquay teenager Chris Hay will play Left Off The Rocks this Sunday night, ensuring a laidback, easy listening session.

Hot Club Swing on GRAPEVINE show at Queenscliff Jon Helmer }

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

Tickled pink

SO, THERE I was with no air conditioning, no bloody nothing… inside was unbearable, yet outside, as night came down and took the edge off the heat, we were able to enjoy the homemade pizzas and, to my delight, I remembered I had a bottle of rosé in the fridge. It was the new release from Yalumba and it went down a treat, but more on that below… It seems acceptance of rosé as a very approachable and versatile wine style over the last few years has seen its star rise. The wines are generally either red cordial-like in colour, fresh and fruity, or dry, pale and savoury. If you haven’t yet succumb to the delightful charms of rosé, then here’s some reasonably priced bottles to get you started.

Yalumba ‘Y’ Series Sangiovese Rosé 2009 ($12) Made from Sangiovese grapes, this is quite clean and crisp with lively acidity and just enough ripe cherry fruit to carry it. Slightly savoury and a tad drier than expected, which added to its racy, crunchy charm… Hits the spot.

FOR SOMETHING that bit different, why not head down to the Uniting Church in Queenscliff this Sunday? From 8pm, Hot Club Swing will perform their rarely heard and challenging style of music that is probably best described as French gypsy jazz. The music draws from an exotic palate of classical, jazz and gypsy influences, painting on a canvas that can be eloquently French, starkly rustic or darkly and romantically gypsy. The group is mainly inspired by the virtuosic Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, who originated this acoustic music in 1930s Paris. As a result of many showcase performances, the group has built a dedicated and diverse audience, which is always eager to return to an evening of this captivating music. The current quintet features Ben Calderazzo (leader/guitar), Phil Smurthwaite (violin), Matt Kenneally (rhythm guitar), Rob Gador (double bass) and Nadine Joy (vocals). The band formed in the summer of 1997 in Geelong, with guitarists Calderazzo, Ben Cohen and violinist Smurthwaite. A meeting with double-bassist Gador in mid-1998 provided the opportunity to add the much-needed fourth member to round out their developing sound, and the quartet began to gig heavily in and around

Geelong, including Port Fairy Music Festival, the inaugural Queenscliff Music Festival and countless other events. A chance meeting with chanteuse Tessa Lee in 2001 brought her French/English vocals to the band and eventually the studio. Musique du Jour was recorded 2001 and was the band’s first release in March 2002. Lee left the band in 2002 and her replacement is the experienced and affable Nadine Joy. Guest musicians featured through the years have been David Lord (clarinet), Michael Barnes (clarinet), Zac Barter (bass), Rob Turner (violin), Tamil Rogeon (violin), Josie Scott (vocals). Hot Club Swing released their second full-length album Sacré Cœur, in December 2004, featuring many original compositions as well as some handpicked jazz standards. 2007 was a huge year for the band as they celebrated their 10th birthday with two successful shows staged in Torquay and Brunswick. Now, the long-awaited show returns to the Bellarine on Sunday from 8pm. Tickets, which include supper, are priced at $25, and table bookings for six to eight people can be made by phoning 5258 1986. For more information on Hot Club Swing, visit their website, www.hotclubswing.com

Wirra Wirra ‘Mrs Wigley’ McLaren Vale Grenache 2009 Rosé ($16) Mrs Wigley is a particular cat that has become a permanent feature of the Wirra Wirra cellars in McLaren Vale and is such a character that the winemakers decided to immortalise her name on their outstanding rosé. The Mrs Wigley rosé is a Grenache-based wine that is so juicy, so bright and so fresh that it makes for an attractive option when choosing a wine for some serious fun this summer. The ripe, fragrant berry flavours burst on the palate with a refreshing, yet balanced zingy acidity on the finish. Spicy herbal aromatics give it a slightly savoury complexity adding to the overall appeal of the wine.

Innocent Bystander Yarra Valley Pinot Rosé 2009 ($20) A vibrant pale pink/salmon colour with complex aromatics; cherries, strawberries immediately spring to mind. The Pinot Noir gives the wine more of those slightly savoury plum and spicy characters to the aromatics. These are echoed on the dry palate with crisp acidity and good length of flavour on the finish.

with Mary-Ellen Belleville

New resolve in the New Year? My resolution is… NOT EVERYONE goes through the annual rigmarole of making resolutions for the New Year… I certainly don’t. But this year I have resolved to try out a new recipe each week – and so far I haven’t broken my secret little pact with myself. One time I visited a regional food festival at which one of the main drawcards was celebrity chef, Gabriel Gate. Naturally a huge crowd had gathered round to hang on every single, gloriously sexy, French-accented word of advice Gate had to give to his adoring audience. He knows a thing or two about cooking, and was saying on this occasion that as cooks or chefs, those of us who make it a profession or career, have the advantage of knowing our repertoire of dishes intimately, simply because we repeatedly make these dishes hundreds of times over. We can constantly play around with them, tweaking the ingredients to give a new slant to the overall taste or result – be it in the presentation of the dish, or the variance of spices used. The ‘house cook’ is very often shackled by the particular parameters of the palates he/she is

cooking for. The children or partner may have a limited range of food likes, dietary requirements or there may be time or budget restraints. However, there is still a challenge there. And this is my resolution to make a new dish at least once a week. Are you like me, constantly tearing out a recipe that catches your eye from a magazine, carefully squirreling it away in a drawer or folder, never to clap eyes on it again? I confess, I am constantly gathering recipes, but now I do actually try them out. More often than not the new dish makes a very welcome change from the routine menu we often seem to cling to week in week out. Well, I say, break out of that routine and at the same time expand on your own culinary skills by trying out a new recipe. By doing this, as Gabriel Gate said, you do become a much better cook. You move away from all the tried and true dishes you’ve been making for years, and along the way gain new skills, explore new tastes, investigate new or unusual-to-you cuisines.

Here’s one for starters – totally tantalising tofu! What! I hear you say, how can tofu taste any good? Well, believe me, this is definitely a dish to try. Mark Bittman’s recipe for this dish begins by explaining that a favourite Indian dish of his called saag paneer (or panir) made from a particular type of cheese. It is almost a standard dish in many Indian restaurants, particularly northern India. The panir is made by scalding milk and souring it with lemon juice, strained through a muslin and allowed to hang to remove the moisture and become quite firm. The Greeks do a similar thing using yoghurt to make labna. You could substitute the homemade cheese with fresh pecorino or haloumi – both are quite ‘unsalty’, white, and do not melt too easily. However, Bittman’s version of this classic dish is to substitute tofu for its qualities of being supremely delicate and, well, bland. The dish bears all the hallmarks of vegetarian Indian cuisine with lots of dairy and the aromatic spices. The spices should not be too fiery, but rather on the sweet side with the combination of nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon.

Totally tantalising tofu Ingredients 1½ tablespoons butter (or oil) 3 teaspoons minced ginger 3 teaspoons garlic 3 teaspoons dried chilli flakes 1½ tablespoons garam masala Pinch of salt 1 bunch of spinach ½ cup yoghurt ½ cup light cream Packet of tofu, cut into 2cm cubes Method In a pan gently heat the butter (or oil), add the minced ginger, garlic and dried chilli flakes and cook for one minute. Stir in the garam masala and a large pinch of salt, then add the spinach, in batches if necessary, as it doesn’t take long to wilt and reduce in bulk. Add the yoghurt and cream, cooking the mixture over a medium high heat. At the last moment incorporate the tofu, cut into 2cm cubes, stir through gently and cook for another minute or two.

Three Little Pigs – with a difference THE TIMELESS fun of the Three Little Pigs story takes an environmental twist in the Potato Shed’s family entertainment this week. Theatre 3222 will combine classic storytelling with catchy tunes and an important environmental message in The Three Little Pigs Go Green, which starts today and finishes on Friday. The fun begins when the local mayor announces a competition to see who can build the best house out of recycled materials. Sally Pigg, Trudy Pigg and Barry Pigg set about discovering which materials will make the best recycled house while the Big Bad Wolf hatches a plan to try and run away with the grand prize. Will Big Bad Wolf’s devious plan work? Will Barry, Sally or Trudy win the grand prize? With songs including I am the Wolf and Build Build Build, The Three Little Pigs Go Green will be a fun way to learn about recycling amid all the humour, colourful characters and audience participation for which the Potato Shed’s holiday shows have become renowned.

Shows will be held twice daily at 10.30am and 1.30pm, with performances running for an hour and are suitable for family members of all ages. Tickets can be purchased at the door but credit card bookings will also be available at any City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre or at the Potato Shed on 5251 1998.

It has been two years since Torquay Hotel has had Fox Sports, but the good news is that it’s now back. “It’s excellent that locals can now come in and watch more sport with their mates,” said Torquay Hotel’s Andrew Routley. “There are lots of sports fans in Torquay, so hopefully they will be happy with it. “Fox footy will be great during the AFL season – you will be able to see every game live on our numerous flat screens. “There are also pool tables, TAB facilities and a multitude of sports channels in the hotel. It makes it a sports bar in every sense of the word.” The channel offers the most relevant, comprehensive, live and exclusive coverage of sport on Australian television, including AFL, rugby league, rugby union, tennis, cricket, golf, basketball, football, baseball, athletics, swimming, motor sport and many more. It is a first of many changes to come from new owners, Routley and Simon Vickers-Willis, with many more to come.

Jamie from the Torquay Hotel is excited by the return of Fox Sports.

Reader set to thrill Apollo Bay MULTI-AWARD winning artist, Eddi Reader, is heading back to Australia. The Scottish songstress has a new album out and will be showcasing songs from it, as well as many old favourites, when she appears at the Apollo Bay Music Festival in March. Reader is one of the best-loved artists in Scotland, even being described as “one of Scotland’s greatest national treasurers and most vibrant natural resources� by national newspaper, The Scotsman. Reader’s latest release, Love Is The Way, is her seventh solo album and is also being regarded as one of her best productions. For her trip to the Apollo Bay Music Festival – which will be held on March 26, 27 and 28 – Reader is combining her talents with singer songwriter Boo Hewerdine and acclaimed accordion player Alan Kelly. Love Is The Way was self-produced by Reader and was recorded in a matter of days with her band in Glasgow. The album includes a mix of songs written with her long-time writing partner, Hewerdine, songs written with her life partner, John Douglas (The Trashcan Sinatras), and a song from Irish singer/songwriter Declan O’Rourke. As well, there is a rare Brian Wilson composition, a Reader/Fleetwood Mac ‘mash up’, and a song from Dublin songwriter Jack Maher. From the traditional to the contemporary, Reader brings to life all forms of song. Her taste in co-writers, writers, songs and players is impeccable and anything with her name on it is guaranteed musical treasure. While the perfection of her technique is acknowledged, what sets Reader apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance; her ability not only to move the listener but to connect her experience to that of her audience. Her passion and instinct move people in a way reminiscent of those who have influenced her work. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature

IMMERSE yourself in the laidback sounds of Josh Pyke this weekend. The renowned Australian singer will be making his mark in Torquay on Sunday evening at the Torquay Hotel. Last time he played at the Torquay Hotel, Pyke drew a crowd of more than 500 people in the middle of winter. His critically acclaimed debut album Memories & Dust in 2007 collected three ARIA Awards, hit the charts at number four and went on to sell more than 50,000 copies. The album was released in the United Kingdom and Pyke toured there extensively. A slot on the Glastonbury Festival bill preceded a run of soldout theatre shows back in Australia, followed by Homebake and the massive Big Day Out tour. His second album, Chimney’s Afire, released in 2008, also received rave reviews and debuted at number three on the official ARIA Album Chart. Last year Pyke reclaimed the best adult contemporary album and was also nominated for best male artist. He will be playing songs from both albums at the Torquay Hotel, with doors opening at 8pm. Tickets available from the motel reception as well as at the door.

Spectrum by moonlight BY SARAH LAWRENCE

AS PART of the Minya Winery concert series, Spectrum will be playing this Saturday evening. The Connewarre winery presents a Minya by Moonlight concert series each year, situated in the vineyard’s tranquil outdoor amphitheatre. Mike Rudd and Bill Putt from Spectrum have been playing for almost four decades together. Their partnership has endured such a lengthy period that they are considered part of Australia’s musical furniture. Bands such as Spectrum illuminated the 1970s and inspired many of Australia’s popular music icons. Spectrum’s big hit, I’ll Be Gone (Someday I’ll have money) still inspires crowds to sing along all over the country. The Minya has pre-concert dinner or picnic hampers are available for the concert, however, reservations are essential for the hampers. The hampers are prepared on arrival to the vineyard with a selection

Father and son duo, Kevin and Lucius Borich, will appear at the Barwon Club on January 30.

FRI 22ND ACOUSTIC DUO ‘ZED’

FATHER and son combination, Kevin and Lucius Borich, will play Geelong’s Barwon Club later this month. Kevin Borich is well known in the Australian music industry. In 2003 he was inducted into the Australian Blues Hall of Fame, while in 1999 he was won the Heritage Award and numerous Gold records and Best Guitarist at the Australian Music Awards. Kevin’s most recent accomplishment is to recover from nose cancer, which traveled into his left throat lymph gland. His son, Lucius, is following in his father’s footsteps with his own credits to his name,

including the hugely successful band Juice and his latest band COG also racing up the charts and selling out tours. “I remember a heart-to-heart conversation where I explained to Lucius that this is such a hard business – but he said something back to me like, “Well, Dad, why are you still in it?’ The answer is that, like him, I love it and I’ve been lucky in that I’ve never had to do anything else,� Kevin said. Kevin and Lucius Borich play the Barwon Club on Saturday, January 30. For more information, visit www. barwonclub.com.au

Fraser to awaken Sleepy Hollow GEELONG’S Sleepy Hollow Blues Club will host a Sunday session this weekend with Brian Fraser. The former lead guitarist of Turning Blue, Fraser has made a name for himself over a long career with his finger-picking guitar playing talents and gruff vocal style unforgettable. Apart bfrom Turning Blue, Fraser also fronted the The Brian Fraser Trio and Psychedelicatessens. Fraser released his debut solo acoustic album, titled Don’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 Pickin’ 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 heart-rending ballads, foot-stomping blues and traditional delta styles to some wellknown standards. 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. Fraser’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 Club’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 nonmembers, with BYO welcome.

2010 Prosperity planet Venus moves into your money zone (until February 11) so capitalise on any lucky financial breaks that come your way. Developing a second stream of income looks promising but you’ll need to be patient. You’ve got a brilliant business brain so make sure you’re using it to its full potential.

Rams are a rowdy, rambunctious lot but you’ll be more philosophical over the coming year, as Jupiter passes through your soul sector. With Venus moving into your hopes and wishes zone, it’s time to draw up a new wish-list. Be inspired by birthday great Dolly Parton (born on January 19) “I wake up with new dreams every day.”

Jupiter jumps into your adventure zone, so it’s time to crawl out of your Crab shell and see what’s happening in the big wide world. Foreign shores beckon as you extend your connections from local to global via travel or the internet. Avoid making mountains out of molehills midweek, when your emotions are erratic – and operatic!

Your health is set to improve as Jupiter activates your wellbeing zone. Expect your energy levels to get a welcome boost but make sure you control your sweet tooth and do plenty of regular exercise, otherwise you’ll put on weight. Venus vamps into your romance zone so this week’s all about love, love, love.

Lucky Jupiter powers into your peer group/business contacts zone so, the more you get out there and network, the more successful you’ll be. Your motto for the week is from birthday great AA Milne (born on January 18) “You can’t stay in your corner waiting for others to come to you. Sometimes you have to go to them”.

Venus moves into your partnership zone (until February 11) so prepare to fall in love, propose, get married, renew your wedding vows or organise a special romantic rendezvous. The best way to resolve conflicts and chaos this week is with calm co-operation. It’s time for tough lions to turn into tame pussy-cats.

With Jupiter lighting up your children zone, some Scorpios will welcome a new baby into the family in 2010. Communicating with others will be tricky this week – especially on Thursday. Don’t add fuel to the fire by being sarcastic or suspicious. If you’ve got something to say, speak up openly and honestly.

You can look forward to the best financial period in the last 12 years as Jupiter (planet of abundance) bounds into your money zone. Be disciplined though; don’t squander good fortune through impulsive decisions or poor planning. Venus shimmies into your sign (until February 11) so you’ll be at your charming, flirtatious Aquarian best.

Expect lucky career breaks to start appearing, as fortunate Jupiter stimulates your career zone. 2010 is definitely the year to upgrade your professional qualifications, expand your business or combine work and travel. A friend tells you something in confidence midweek, but can you zip your lip and keep a secret?

Virtuous Virgos – don’t work yourself into a lather being practical and disciplined this week. With Venus in your daily routine zone, it’s time to let your hair down and have some self-indulgent fun. Jupiter moves into your relationship zone, so singles are likely to find love with someone from a different country or culture.

Expect changes to do with your domestic environment as Jupiter (your ruling planet) visits your home zone. Some Sagittarians will move, renovate or extend; while others will travel (or relocate) overseas. This week there are plenty of social activities happening within your local community so take the time to get involved.

Break out the champagne! Jupiter (planet of good fortune) charges into your sign – for the first time in 12 years. 2010 will be a fabulous year for Fish as you study or travel, and become more confident about your talents and abilities. Lucky opportunities will come your way but you must grab them or they will pass you by.

‘Mushy’ eyes main tour DESPITE not re-qualifying for the elite 2010 ASP World Tour, Jan Juc’s Nic Muscroft still has a good chance of remaining on the tour due to radical new alterations in the ratings for this season. Just last week Muscroft was awarded a sponsor wildcard into the Quiksilver Pro trials, which will run the day before the event starts. Muscroft will be up against some talented local surfers along with Hawaiian Bruce Irons, but in this field on the Gold Coast, ‘Mushy’ will be favoured to win through to the main event.

If he can make the main event, then wherever he places will see him accumulate points on the world ratings – a first for wildcards this season. Muscroft will also be an excellent chance of winning the wildcard to the Rip Curl Pro at Bells in April. These rating point opportunities are essential this season, and if Muscroft can capitalise on the upcoming trials, he could fast-track his way back onto the elite tour by mid-year. Muscroft is a proven performer on the Gold Coast, where he placed 17th last year in the Quiksilver Pro.

Geelong premiership player and Surf Coast Times columnist, Cameron Ling, decided to take to the water for some pre-season training as he took part in the Danger 1000 swim on Saturday. Photo: PETER MARSHALL

Anglesea completes world’s toughest race open categories. The women’s crew was represented by sweep Neil Heathcote with rowers Sarah Griffen, Emily Conte, Liz Haynes, Rennae Stefanatti, Edwina Banks-Anderson and Jacki Gregory. The veterans’ crew included sweep Lincoln Heathcote, with stand-ins due to injury Ian McGain, Luke Price and Rhys Harris. Rowers included Martin O’Grady, Steve Mitchell, Richard Holding, Barry White, Ian Smith, and Ian McGain.

THE longest and toughest surfboat race in the world, The George Bass Surfboat Marathon, was completed by two Anglesea surfboat crews who returned home last Friday. The race covers 190 kilometres in seven days from Batemans Bay to Eden along the south coast of New South Wales. It recreates the feats of Naval Commander George Bass who explored the coastline in 1797. Anglesea crews competed in the men’s veteran and women’s

Up to eight crew were allowed per surfboat, with the crew rotating every 20 minutes and crew changes were made at sea from support craft while the surfboats were still on the move. The race left its mark on the Anglesea teams with extensive bruising, wounds and blisters. Although finishing down in the placings, both crews undertook one of the biggest challenges in surfboat racing with minimum crew and support through some of Australia’s most spectacular coastal scenery.

MORE than 2,000 competitors took part in the weekend’s Bells Bash run and Danger 1000 open water swim, bringing thousands of visitors to the area. Friday started with the iconic Bells Bash Cliff Run, which follows a scenic cliff-top track fromJjan Juc Surf Club to Bells Beach. The inaugural Junior Juc Bash was also held, with 179 children aged five to 13 year completing the 1.5km course. Saturday saw the 11th edition of the Danger 1000 take place. More than 3,000 spectators enjoyed the event at Torquay’s Cosy Corner, with the natural amphitheatre providing an ideal setting to watch the event. Geelong star Cameron Ling used the opportunity to hit the water and train instead of heading to the Cats’ normal club training on a Saturday morning.

THE ANNUAL Twilight Triples for Triers competition has commenced at the Anglesea Bowling Club again with full greens and a waiting list of interested players. Held over five consecutive Thursday nights during January and February, this is a very social introduction for non-members to learn the art of lawn bowls. Thirty-two teams consisting of three nonexperienced players each are allocated an experienced bowler as a team ‘manager’ who provides their team with encouragement and basic coaching.

WHILE most people continue to be in holiday mode, members can be assured captains Gary Rogers and Sari Lowden have been working hard behind the scenes. One of the biggest jobs is setting up the syllabus. This is not an easy task and made more frustrating when dates for some of the district events are issued late and then changed which causes further changes to our already set dates. Despite that, Gary and Sari remained cool and have been able to finalise the syllabus and send the final draft to the printers. Hopefully the books will be available by the first week of February. In the meantime just remember Sunday, February 7 is opening day. The event will be mixed 4BBB with a shotgun start at 12.30pm.

Married couples dominated the leading combinations in the mixed competition. The best score was by John and Marg Whitmore with 49 points, only one ahead of Richard and Vicky Leckey. Next best were Barry and Jill Leonard on 45 and Ann and John Perrett.

Busy Saturday A 4BBB Stableford event with three competitions involved attracted a big field last Saturday. Winners of the men’s competition were Wayne Johnson and Bob Pitcher with 48 points on a count back from Fred Andrews and Graham Haslam. On point further back was a combination of two of the club’s highly respected old stagers, Owen Nichol and Brian Sloan.

by the federal government to attend the Rome conference. HIS programme officer, Alexia Wellbelove, has endorsed the ban under the Conservation of Migratory species, and at the same time is dismissing Garrett’s attempt to reach an agreement with anglers, when last month he said the government would consider allowing the tag and release of mako and porbeagle sharks for research purposes, She said the decision “smacks of a complete back down in the face of protest from a small constituency of recreational fishers”. I would like to ask HSI if catch and release is not an option, what does the HSI expect us to do? Place signs at the end of our lines instructing the Makos to not touch our baits or that this is a mako free zone. Their comprehension and understanding of fishing is non-existent, yet Garrett is taking advice from HSI and sending them to represent us at international treaty agreements on issues that affect us directly. Last month Dr Julian Pepperell, a respected fisheries scientist, said any Australian ban was “mystifying – there is no biological sense to it. There is no evidence of any connection between the populations of makos in the Mediterranean and the short finned Makos off the Australian coast”. “Makos just don’t move between Australia and the Mediterranean. Banning fishing here will do absolutely nothing to help the Makos there,” he said. I ask anyone who believes in our right to fish, to attend this meeting.

THIS week will be an important watershed for all fishermen. A meeting is to be held tonight at 6.30pm at the Torquay Angling Club to discuss the proposed ban on mako fishing by the Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett. Garrett plans to list longfin mako, shortfin mako and porbeagle shark species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act on January 29 and totally ban all fishing for them. The ramifications for this decision will have farreaching effects. Much discussion has taken place about why this is to happen, but there are even more far-reaching concerns with regards to the process itself that has bought this about. An explanation is needed from Mr Garrett and his department as to why a green group gets a seat at a key marine meeting which has a major impact on recreational fishing when the fishing industry misses out. The group Humane Society International (HSI) attended the Rome conference on the Convention on Migratory Species and had a key seat at the table. In the meantime representatives of the recreational fishing industry and the Australian Fisheries Management Authority were not invited nor adequately consulted about what could occur at the conference. An explanation is needed as to what role HSI played as an official participant within the Australian delegation and if support was provided to HSI
