Drysdale residents face double-edged sword with house prices and rates expected to rise
BY ALISON MARTIN DRYSDALE ratepayers are being urged to consider the implications of proposed land rezoning in the area. The Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA) has raised the issue of increased rates on areas of Drysdale that have been earmarked for rezoning by the City of Greater Geelong. DCSCA secretary, Patrick Hughes, said the City of Greater Geelong planned to change land-use in four areas of Drysdale through amendments to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. “Each is currently open for public consultation and each is likely to increase residents’ rates,” he said. A CoGG spokesperson acknowledged ratepayers could see an increase in their rates but explained they had a right to oppose and appeal rezoning. The spokesperson said there was “no direct link between rezoning and valuation” but it was likely that a property in a newly rezoned residential area would increase in value. “This fact would form part of the assessment when the property is valued for rates purposes,” the spokesperson said. “Rezoning proposals are subject to a thorough review process which provides opportunities for individuals to make submissions either in favour or against the proposals. “Property owners also have the right to appeal if they believe the valuation of their property is inaccurate.” Hughes said the DCSCA would be watching the consultation process

few of the 40 submissions it generated.” Land affected by the proposed rezoning includes properties bounded by High, Eversleigh and Princess streets from residential to business. Land bounded by Princess and Woodville
streets, and other properties in Drysdale have been included in an amendment for rezoning from farming and low density residential and residential 1. For more information about the amendments and how to respond to
proposals, contact council’s customer service centre in Hancock Street, Drysdale or by phone on 5272 4820. Written submissions on the proposed amendments are due by Monday, January 18.

MAYOR’S COLUMN

WHETHER you are a local or a visitor it’s a great time of year to be on the Bellarine. Our beautiful beaches and coastal townships are at their sparkling best and there are plenty of exciting events to enjoy as well.

Mosquitoes are an inevitable part of an Aussie summer, but the City of Greater Geelong’s mosquito management programme is ensuring that mozzie numbers are kept to a minimum. Despite the Bellarine having received twice as much rain compared to this time last year, measuring at strategic locations across the Peninsula has shown that numbers of adult mosquitoes are down this year. This is great news and confirmation that our ongoing treatment programme is working. The programme will continue throughout the summer, with a combination of aerial applications and ground based treatment using a mosquito larvicide that is safe for humans and wildlife. You can do your bit as well. Residents should be careful when collecting water for re-use, to check for larvae, keep gutters clean, and empty or
Finally, a reminder for people to be extra careful on the roads over the summer period. Needless to say there are more cars, bicycles and pedestrians in the region at the moment, including many visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area. Be patient and courteous and be prepared to take a little bit longer to get to your destination. A great alternative to driving in the Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads area is the free shuttle bus operated by Barwon Coast Foreshore Management. The bus runs daily from 10am-6pm eight times a day until January 25, and takes in a loop around Ocean Grove before travelling to Barwon Heads and return. Look for the shuttle bus signs attached to regular bus stop poles for pick-up points.
All that remains is for me to wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing holiday period and a healthy, wealthy and fulfilling 2010.
Summer events
Portarlington is gearing up for its very popular Mussel Festival this Saturday, January 9. The Portarlington Mussel Festival showcases the local food and wine of the Bellarine including, of course, the wonderful Aussie Blue Mussel. The festival occupies the Portarlington foreshore, with additional activities in the main shopping precinct. It’s a fabulous family event with plenty of things to do for children as well as those who enjoy gourmet produce. The Ocean Grove Summer Festival returns on Sunday, January 17, with a day-long celebration of art, music and culture. It was a great event last year and promises to be even bigger and better this time around. Cr John Mitchell Mayor City of Greater Geelong

Property bonanza BY ALISON MARTIN
AS BELLARINE properties emerge as some of the best-kept real estate secrets in Australia, Neville Richards Real Estate is set to take advantage of the stimulated peninsula market. The established St Leonards-based agent will open a new agency in Portarlington by the end of the month to capitalise on the growing demand for Bellarine homes and land. Neville Richards Real Estate sales director, Luke Campbell, said launching the new office was a natural expansion for the company. “We have been listing in the Portarlington marketplace for five years and achieving excellent results for vendors,� he said. “The new agency will have an excellent profile to Portarlington’s main street and we can offer clients a genuine advantage. “Neville Richards Real Estate has already established a good reputation from St Leonards to Indented Head and through to Portarlington, so the new office will provide us with a greater market presence.� Campbell said Portarlington property owners and visitors would benefit from an additional real estate agent in town, highlighting the growth and opportunities in the area. The Bellarine was also earmarked by some property specialists late last year as one of the most affordable places to buy
on the coast. The article, in a metropolitan newspaper, said the Bellarine was the best buy for houses on the coast under the $500,000 mark. According to Campbell, the Bellarine secret is well and truly out. “There’s definitely room for a new agent in Portarlington and the way we go about business will definitely raise the level of property presentation and satisfy customers,� Campbell said. “Portarlington and the Bellarine is simply a great spot for real estate and it is undervalued. “Over the past year there has been particularly enormous buyer activity and the lack of properties is driving buyer demand and prices are going up. “But it’s still an outstanding time to buy. The Bellarine market has been relatively stable since about 2004, but prices are on the rise now. “We have Melbourne people walk into our office and the first thing they say is ‘we never knew this place existed’, then they ask ‘why are properties so cheap?’. “There are a lot of people coming down to the Bellarine for first time and their response is incredible.� The new real estate office will be located at 86 Newcombe Street, Portarlington, in a centrally located shop previously occupied by EK Design. An official opening date has not been confirmed, but the office will be operating by the end of the month.

Still going strong 71 years on BY ALISON MARTIN FAMILIES have been visiting Portarlington’s beachfront camping ground for years, even generations, but few can rival the tradition set by the Scripture Union. SU Victoria has been visiting the park, Portarlington Seaside Resort, for 71 consecutive years. Every summer since 1938 the Christian-based community development organisation has hosted a free children’s holiday programme for Portarlington campers. Bellarine Bayside chief executive, Tim Page-Walker, said the group came to the park each year and children
would follow them like the Pied Piper to the stage area at the recreation reserve for the activities before being delivered back to their campsites. He said it was incredible to think the group had been presenting the holiday programme for such a long time. A spokesperson for the SU holiday programme said 28 members from Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, Kerang and Geelong were involved in hosting the programme for children as young as three to teenagers. The programme has been held over the past week for Portarlington park visitors and included drama, craft, games, singing and dancing.

Say no to plastic bags BY ALISON MARTIN LOCAL residents, tourists and retailers in Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale are being called on to say “no� to plastic bags as the community’s clean, green campaign gains momentum. The Borough of Queenscliffe has started a 12-month transition programme, with reminder signs in the supermarket to encourage the use of reusable bags before the community becomes plastic bag-free. Queenscliffe mayor, Bob Merriman, said the aim of the programme was to reduce the opportunity for plastic bags to litter the unique environment. “It can take up to 400 years to break down and they accumulate invisibly in our waterways killing marine life until we physically remove them,’ he said. “We need to take urgent action and we all have a responsibility to ensure we do not leave an environmental legacy for our future generation “It’s not hard or expensive to make a difference. We owe it to our community, our wildlife and our environment to do something about the plastic bag epidemic today. We all have to live with the damage we are causing. “The traders in Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff have embraced the campaign and hopefully will be plastic bag free by this time next year.� The campaign has been initiated by Bellarine Catchment Network and Swan Bay Environment Association with support from the borough and Barwon Region Waste Management Group.
news Swan Bay boat ramp works PARKS Victoria will be undertaking works to the Swan Bay boat ramp this month and is advising that boat operators planning to use this facility will need to launch their boats from Queenscliff or St Leonards while the works are being undertaken. Parks Victoria’s chief ranger for Port Philip, Graeme Davis, said the works would improve safety by replacing the existing informal gravel boat ramp with a formed concrete structure. When completed, the new boat launching facility will be a concrete ramp of approximately 15 metres in length. Davis said the upgrade to the ramp would improve safety for users and would continue to provide similar tidal launching capacity for small boats as currently exists. “The part of Swan Bay where the boat ramp is located is extremely
shallow and has a very gently graded seabed. Consequently, we are taking the opportunity to realign the ramp towards the jetty to access slightly deeper water than can be reached from the current alignment,� he said. “However, the ramp is not designed for launching large boats as the flatness and shallowness of the seabed makes it unsuitable. Larger vessels will need to use boat launching facilities at Queenscliff or St Leonards, as they have always done.� The existing ramp was closed yesterday, when the works commenced, and the ramp is expected to be back in action by mid January. Boats can be launched from St Leonards or Queenscliff while the Swan Bay Boat ramp is temporarily closed. For updates or further information call the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 131 963.
Love the planet
Borough of Queenscliffe mayor Bob Merriman takes his reusable bag shopping.
THE ‘Love the Planet, Love the Park’ Sustainability Gala will be hosted in Portarlington next week by coastal manager Bellarine Bayside. The fun, innovative and educational event will be presented at the Portarlington Seaside Resort on Friday, January 15, from 10am-4pm.
The sustainability gala is open to the public and park guests and will include lots of interactive activities for kids. ‘Love the Planet, Love the Park’ will also provide a range of information about recycling, water and energy conservation, responsible fishing and looking after the environment.

New ranger on the Bellarine PARKS Victoria has welcomed a new face to its local team for the next three months. Joe Park was late last month named as one of 29 new team members throughout the state who have commenced a three-month placement. Park has started his summer ranger duties, which will include working with local Visitor Information Centres to promote local Bellarine parks and reserves. Park recently completed his degree in Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) at Deakin University, focusing his studies towards the conservation and management of the parks system. He has a particular interest in the interpretation of natural places to young people. During his time with Parks Victoria, he will
also be undertaking a range of on-ground projects and special events such as World Wetlands Day later this month. Bellarine Peninsula team leader, Stuart Willsher, said the help the summer rangers provide with the ever-increasing number of visitors assists Parks Victoria to maintain a high level of park services. “Having extra hands on deck makes a real difference at this time of year. It means that we can extend the range of interpretation and educational services in our park and make sure visitors get the most out of their stay here,” Willsher said. Summer rangers are encouraged to learn practical skills and make a real contribution during their placement. It is also provides the opportunity of hands-on experience for those aspiring to become full-time rangers.

Port at your fingertips THE NEW 2010 Portarlington directory includes contact information for 176 businesses and more than 80 community groups. This year’s directory features more entries than previous years, has a new listing of community health services and is more user-friendly, with space to include your own notes. The business and community directory is an initiative of Portarlington Business
Development Association (PBDA) and funded by the town’s Community Building Initiative, with the support of the City of Greater Geelong. PBDA chair, John Rae, said the directory was launched in 1995 but this was the first year the PBDA had received funding for the project. He said the preparation of the directory had taken many volunteer hours but it was important for the community to have its
own convenient guide. Rae said 5,000 copies had been printed, with every business, community group and 2,000 homes in Portarlington receiving one in December. “Any resident who did not receive a copy can collect their directory from the Portarlington Neighbourhood House, Bellarine Community Health, senior citizens centre, post office and various other locations,� he said.

FRIENDS of the Bluff and Parks Victoria have found more species of fish than previously recorded in the Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary. The volunteer protectors of the unique Barwon Heads environment were involved in last month’s ‘Great Victorian Fish Count’ and discovered 19 different fish species. Parks Victoria marine and coasts programme leader, Mark Rodrigue, said a majority of fish recorded were the blue throated wrasse, six-spined leatherjackets and silver sweep. “Seven years since Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary received

Fair proves a tranquil experience BY MARK HEENAN HUNDREDS of locals and holiday makers attended the 2010 Ocean Grove Tranquility Fair held at Ocean Grove Park on Saturday. The annual family friendly event had more than 100 stalls offering food, arts, clothing, jewellery and a spectacular range of handcrafted goods. The day also included fun-filled activities for
children, with a ferris wheel, jumping castle, camel rides and an animal farm. Country swing outfit, The Junes, entertained the audience with its lively music, while Ukulele Experience, three-piece reggae band Bambidi and The Little Stevies also performed on the day. The trio, Collard Greens Gravy, wrapped up the day with its own unique collection of foot stomping country blues.

Superfish Sam back in the swim
11
BY SARAH LAWRENCE EXPECT to see a lot of Samantha Cain on the beach around the Bellarine Peninsula this year. The Ocean Grove resident has just completed her surf life saving Gold medallion, allowing her to become one of the coast’s most qualified life guards. Cain, 21, was brought up in the sport from the age of four in Nippers at Chelsea Longbeach, and she is following in the footsteps of her parents, who were also extremely good competitors. Since achieving a spot in the under 13 Victorian state team, Cain has been in every state team since. “I love to keep up with it. I stay fit and I’ve travelled all around Australia with it,� she said. As part of the team, she also went to America in 2008 to compete in the Wieland Shield against Californian lifeguards. She credits one of her proudest moments, however, as winning a bronze medal at the Australia titles in March last year. Cain has been preparing over the past weeks for her swim in the Superfish category of this weekend’s Pier 2 Pub in Lorne. The category comprises of the 20 fastest females and 20 fastest males in the swim. It will be her sixth time in the renowned ocean swim; her greatest achievement in it was finishing second in 2007. “I’m aiming for a top five this year,� she said, “but I had a knee reconstruction a year and a half ago. “I’m bouncing back now but my injury may

still hinder it.� Cain moved to Ocean Grove last year to take on a more serious attitude to competing. “I just wanted a more competitive team nationally,� she said. “Coming from Mount Eliza, it seems so far away. But it’s a tight-knit community and friendly place.� Apart from competing and working as a paid lifeguard, Cain still makes time to volunteer at her club. She is on the club committee as the training and assessment manager, which means she organises the training courses for different awards and makes sure the candidates are assessed properly. When the season ends in April, Cain plans on taking a well deserved rest before launching into her double degree in Applied Science and Physical Education at Victoria University.

WITH increasing water restrictions in place across most of the country, water conservation is now crucial. Many homeowners are finding that they are not allowed or do not want to water their lawns. Synthetic grass is an excellent solution that well-respected local business, Armstrong Creek Landscaping, is now providing. Owner and manager, David Reed, believes that synthetic grass has become a popular solution with the current drought and has had an excellent response from customers already. “It’s not cheap, but it’s not expensive. The quality has improved so much. The product I offer is the
most up to date,� he said. “We also have a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee and 15-year warranty. Another bonus we have is very competitive prices.� One of the advantages of Armstrong Creek Landscaping is that they can provide a fast service. “With our team we can get to you to install the grass quickly and efficiently after bookings are made. On average, an 80-square metre lawn could be installed in one day,� he said. There are many advantages of synthetic grass, including no chemicals or pesticides, little or no maintenance, no need to do lawn mowing and fun for pets and children. For more information, phone David Reed on 0407 651 758.

2010 GEELONG VINTAGE RALLY Admission $5.00
It was a picturesque setting as cyclists made their way around the Bellarine for Sunday’s ride. Photo: EPSOM ROAD STUDIOS
Cyclists join together to raise safety awareness THE FIFTH annual Amy’s Ride has raised approximately $230,000 for the Amy Gillett Foundation. The ride, which started in Geelong and took in a loop of the Bellarine Peninsula, saw more than 2,500 cyclists enjoyed a day out on Sunday to help raise awareness about cycling safety on our roads. The ride comes at a poignant time, with two local cyclists having died on local roads having been involved in incidents with vehicles. Riders of all ages and abilities took the rare opportunity to spin alongside reigning world champion, Cadel Evans, and Tour de France heroes Phil Anderson and Robbie McEwen. The trio proved a major drawcard yet again, with thousands of fans delighted to be sharing the road with some of the biggest names in world cycling. Amy’s Ride has become synonymous not only with cycling superstars, but importantly with road

safety, and an enjoyable day out on the bike, and Amy Gillett Foundation chief executive officer, Tony Fox, couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. “This is the ninth consecutive year that bikes have outsold cars in Australia,” he said. “Seeing so many keen riders participate today in Amy’s Ride truly brings that figure to life. “Days like this show that Australians increasingly love to ride, but are conscious of the need for improved road safety.” This year’s Amy’s Ride comprised the traditional 120-kilometre circuit around the Bellarine Peninsula, as well as a shorter 60km version, a 27km route ideal for families and a 1km loop perfect for youngsters just getting a feel for their wheels. The $230,000 raised from the weekend’s event will cover costs for the ride itself, as well as to support ongoing campaigns.

INTERNATIONAL research has shown that families are not spending time together exercising. Researchers from the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Science at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom, are encouraging families worldwide to take more regular exercise together in the New Year following the concerning results. The research shows two thirds of people across the globe are not walking together as a family (68%) with the Portuguese being the least likely and Austrians (63%) most likely to walk together. According to international research commissioned by urban walking specialist MBT, the traditional ‘promenade’ or ‘paseo’ is on the decline with over half of respondents globally (52%) reporting they walk less than they did 10 years ago. The reasons for this include lack of interest from other family members (45%); too little time (43%); lack of information about where to walk (39%); tiredness (38%) and poor motivation (33%) as the main barriers. Likewise, the increase in more sedentary activity is seen to be a contributory factor with families choosing to spend their time together for mealtimes (80%), sitting around talking (66%) and/or watching TV (53%). However, the festive period is still the most conducive to families walking together with 69% of respondents working off the Christmas excess, with the Austrians again and Germans (=86%) most likely to do so and the Spanish (56%) and Americans (58%) least likely to do so.
MORE than 700 farmers across the state have made a difference to their overall health and wellbeing by completing the second year of the award winning Sustainable Farm Families (SFF) programme. The Department of Primary Industries project manager, Tracey Harper, said the programme, consisting of a series of workshops focusing on all aspects of farmer health, was very successful in encouraging farmers to make their health a priority. “Recent surveys of the workshops have shown that over 80 per cent of participants left each
session feeling more motivated, energised and inspired about their health and almost 100 per cent agreed that SFF had increased their knowledge,� Harper said. “The survey also showed that almost half of the farmers interviewed from the workshops made the link from their health to their management capabilities. “One quarter of participants also made the further link to the success of their farm business, explaining that this was because they are making

Likewise, being healthier, getting fresh air (=73%) and enjoying the weather (65%) were reported as motivators for families to walk more regularly together. “Lack of physical activity is widely documented across the world as a major risk factor for many chronic diseases,� said Dr Stacy Clemes, Lecturer in Human Biology, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Science at Loughborough. “Despite walking being described as an ideal form of exercise, it is concerning to see families worldwide not using this cheap and effective form of exercise to promote their family’s health.� “Walking is an inclusive activity, allowing families to share a common interest and spend quality time in the fresh air. “It is also worth noting that increasing physical activity through walking would have an impact on global obesity figures, as well as providing a free alternative to the gym�. Matthias Schneider, certified sports scientist and member of the MBT Academy International, said the research also showed that people were not walking because they were unhappy with their footwear. “According to the research we commissioned in conjunction with Loughborough University, an average of 36% of participants also reported that their footwear was uncomfortable,� he said. “This prevents them from walking regularly because they were concerned about damaging their feet. “At MBT, we are encouraging people to kick off the next decade committed to being more active.�

better management decisions and/or their safer work practices are making their work easier and more efficient.� Other participants in the workshops reported making several changes to their lifestyle as a result of the workshops, including: • 93 per cent reported that they now have the tools to implement healthy behaviours • 54 per cent have increased their cardiovascular exercise • 53 per cent have made changes to their diet.

Osteoporosis warning for men MEN are being targeted in an awareness campaign about the risks of osteoporosis. The campaign is aimed at providing information for both members of the public and GPs, with brochures to provide information on osteoporosis in men, including the common risk factors and how the disease can affect them. One in four Australian men over the age of 60 will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis. Fractures from osteoporosis are less common in men than in women, but when fractures occur in men they cause higher disability and death rates. Musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis and osteoporosis affect around 6.3 million Australians. “Australian men should be aware that as they age, their risk of developing osteoporosis is elevated, despite the misconception that
“Older people are at greater risk of osteoporosis as when people age their bones begin to lose calcium and can become weaker and are not as effective at absorbing calcium from food. “Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the loss of bone mass from getting worse and can also help to improve bone density. “To improve bone health, men should lead an active and healthy life by getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet with an increased amount of calcium and vitamin D.� The Men and Osteoporosis resources are available from Osteoporosis Australia (national office) and its state offices, by calling 1800 242 141 or visiting www.osteoporosis. org.au.
the condition only affects women,� said Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot. The federal government provided more than $80,000 to Osteoporosis Australia for the development of the Men and Osteoporosis and Men and Osteoporosis – for GPs resources. To help get the message out, Osteoporosis Australia has recruited well-known Australian athletes, Guy Leech and Robert de Castella, to help promote the new resources. “These new resources, coupled with an increased community awareness of osteoporosis in men are important steps towards reducing the incidence of the disease and increasing diagnosis,� Elliot said. “These tools will help Australian men reduce and identify their risks of osteoporosis and fractures.

Making the move easier for your pet IT IS two days before the removalists arrive. Your hallway is crammed to the ceiling with boxes and you’ve got masking tape stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Now the cat’s disappeared. Frankly, its chaos and you can’t blame the cat for having jumped ship. The thought’s crossed your mind too. Like many of us, most animals hate change and moving house can make them particularly anxious. Some go into hiding, some stop eating and others generally mooch about the house looking put-out and nervy. However, if you follow a simple plan before, during and after the move, you’ll not only decrease their stress, but also lower your own. Here are some tips to make the move for you – and your pets – more comfortable: Four weeks before your move Create a routine. Four weeks before the big move, set a daily alarm to remind you that it’s time to either play a special game with your pet or feed them |a small treat. This way, although the house will have changed, some things, like the pleasurable routines of feeding and playing, will stay the same. Make sure your pet’s tags are up to date with your contact details and their collar is secure – just in case something does go wrong. During the move It’s smart to board your pets a few days before
Tuesday 5 January 2010
and after the move. This way they won’t have to see all their familiar surroundings vanish. You also won’t have to worry about the open doors and gates that an anxious dog or cat could escape through. Most animals travel happily enough in trains, planes and automobiles so if your pet hasn’t had a bad experience previously, don’t bother with the sedatives or tranquilisers. While some cats will vocalise during the first few minutes of a trip, it won’t take long before they settle down. Arriving at your new home When you and your pet arrive at your new home, confine your pet to a few rooms and gradually extend the territory. When you do let your cat explore outside the house, make sure there is a tempting dinner to come home to. It’s also important to update your pet’s microchip registration to your new address as soon as you’ve settled in. After the move If your pet continues to show signs of anxiety after the move, don’t accidentally make things worse by reassuring your pet. Instead, as hard as it is, ignore the anxious behaviour and pay lots of attention to calm behaviour. If your pet continues to be anxious, talk to a vet or a qualified animal behaviour consultant for advice.
The best tonic
CAN you imagine an Australia without pets? It’d be like Sydney without the opera house, toast without vegemite or a ute without a dog in the back (carefully harnessed of course.) With six out of every 10 houses in Australia owning some kind of pet, there’s no denying that we’re a nation of animal lovers. In fact, studies show that almost all owners chat to their pets (though not necessarily in earshot of anyone else) and 80 per cent reckon that they make great company. Our affection for our pets makes sense of the decidedly human names we’re giving them. Gone are the ‘Spots’ ‘Fluffies’ and ‘Sooties’ and instead the latest in the top five are Bella, Charlie, Max, Oscar and Coco. They’re the kinds of names we turn to when under stress and confide in when we’re lonely. Which is exactly what the research says Australians are doing: 79 per cent of owners find it comforting to have a pet at hand “when things go wrong� and 81 per cent of owners say that they never feel alone with their pet. In actual fact, 56 per cent of women and 41 per cent of men say their pet is more affectionate than their partner. Research shows that pet ownership amounts to a possible four per cent reduction in risk of heart disease – the equivalent to starting a low-salt diet or cutting down on alcohol. Finally, our love of pets really helps the Australian economy. In 2007, we spent $4.74billion on our pets, including food, services and health.

Industry Info
The sale authority BEFORE the process of selling your house or apartment can commence you need to sign a sales authority. The authority is a legal agreement to engage an agent to act on your behalf to market and sell your property. The most common authorities used are an REIV exclusive sale or auction authority and an REIV general sale authority. An exclusive authority is the preferred authority to use, particularly for residential real estate and is used when you are engaging the services of one estate agency to sell your property. The exclusive authority contains important information such as the method of sale, details of the property to be sold, the vendor’s asking price or reserve if it is to be auctioned, the agent’s estimate of selling price, the agent’s fee for the sale and details and costs regarding the marketing and advertising of the property during the authority period. In addition, the authority also includes various notices required to be advised under the estate agents Act and Sale of Land Act. All REIV authorities also contain a comprehensive privacy notice regarding the collection and use of personal information. If you are unsure about any aspect of the authority ask your agent to explain it to you. Only REIV members are permitted to use REIV member forms, if you are unsure if your agent is a member visit www.reiv.com.au

A. Purchasing a property through a private treaty might be slightly less stressful than buying at auction, but there’s still a lot to do. Follow the steps below to get ready to purchase a property through a private treaty. STEP 1: Arrange a home loan pre-approval, so you know how much you can afford. This may be a conditional finance approval, subject to a satisfactory valuation of the property, amongst other conditions and it’s usually valid for 90 days. STEP 2: Contact local real estate agents and start looking for a property. Make sure you are on their database for email alerts for upcoming properties that meet your criteria and are in your price range. STEP 3: Attend various open home inspections. Even if you are not interested in the property, it will help you get a feel for the buying and inspection process, what to ask the agent and what to look out for in a house. It will also give you an indication of how much property is going for in your preferred location. STEP 4: Before you make an offer, make sure you have funds available to pay the deposit, should you be successful. The deposit amount varies in different states. It can be as low as $1,000 or up to 10 per cent of the purchase price. A cheque or
deposit bond are common methods of payment. Ask your RAMS office about these. STEP 5: Once you have found a property, make an offer verbally through the agent or in writing through a solicitor. There may be some negotiating that occurs, so make sure you decide beforehand what your maximum offer will be. This will prevent you from offering more than the property is worth or more than you can afford. Make sure that your offer includes a 14-day finance clause and uses the maximum settlement period allowed in your state. STEP 6: If your offer is accepted, a Contract of Sale will be issued. Ensure that you instruct a solicitor to check it for you. You will usually be required to pay a holding deposit. STEP 7: Advise your home loan lender of the property details. Your lender will usually want to conduct a valuation of the property before finalising your finance. You should also arrange for building and pest inspection reports. STEP 8: Pay the full deposit and sign the contract. Even if your offer was initially accepted, it will not be legally binding until you exchange contracts. It’s best to move quickly to avoid being gazumped (out bid). STEP 9: There is usually a cooling-off period
after exchanging contracts. Use this time to make sure that you really want to purchase the property. You should also get written confirmation that you have unconditional loan approval from your lender. STEP 10: Advise your lender of the settlement date to ensure that it takes place within the period stated in the contract. Now’s a good time to arrange matters such as insurance. STEP 11: Arrange a final inspection just prior to settlement to ensure all is as noted in the contract. STEP 12: Move into your new home. Please note that each state may have different rules for purchasing through a private treaty. Make sure you check your State’s conditions before purchasing and talk to your lender about what you need to do. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to email geelong@rams.com.au or call us on 5244 4042. This information contained in this letter is of a general nature only.

Certainty in an uncertain economy BY DANIEL HAYDEN Managing Director, Hayden Real Estate, Torquay IN THESE uncertain times, wouldn’t it be useful to bring some certainty into the future of real estate? Rational investors understand that nothing can be guaranteed, at least not without paying for it. Market conditions are such that everyone can have a plausible theory, but when we come across someone who ‘knows what is going to happen’, they are plainly lying or just deluded. Nevertheless, investing in real estate is simple, although not easy of course. Investing is fundamentally simple because it is just the exchange of a deposit of capital – such as money or time – for a payback, which is received directly or indirectly. It is not easy because of the price barriers to entry that most of us face and the stress that goes along with a decision to put so many of our eggs in the one basket. A capital idea The physicality of a property investment, its simplicity and the high ticket price – which gives it a badge of wealth and success – make it attractive to amateur (as opposed to full time professional) investors. Successful long-term investors display wisdom by focusing on income. It is often ‘forgotten’ that investors never need to realise or sell their investment to generate the full return. Capital is paid back automatically through income and the higher the risk, the quicker the payback.
The creative, trader types are more interested in the capital. While some of these make loads of money in short periods, there are many more you won’t hear about who find themselves out of sync when the market cycle takes a downward turn and often lose not only whatever gains they might have foreseen but also their capital investment as well. That, of course, is the risk side of the equation. Investors can be aggressive, defensive, active, passive, rational, behavioural – the psychology of investors is possibly more interesting than investing itself. However, there are dangers in long-term passive investing in real estate other than land, particularly commercial property, because buildings grow older and become less productive. Buildings themselves become functionally obsolete – there are not many horse stables left in our city centres. Additional ongoing investment is essential and any property in this class needs to be actively assetmanaged to maintain your investment value. Partly as a result, home ownership is one of the most sought after investment categories in Australia. The active asset-management of your home is straightforward because you live there, take pride in your surroundings and make sure it is maintained – and often improved. Additionally, your ‘income’ is found in the opportunity cost of not paying rent and while there is always going to be a market for residential rental property, you are not beholden to tenants to deliver a return.
So home ownership is the easiest property investment for most of us to obtain and build wealth from. Going to town The world’s population is growing and becoming more urbanised. This we can clearly see along the coast as people gravitate towards towns like Torquay and Ocean Grove. And the increasing population means increasing demand for a limited supply of housing. While the supply of housing might adjust itself to demand over time, at any one moment it is still likely to be either oversupplied or undersupplied. The latter is bound to result in a rapid rise in the cost of housing. Certainly we have witnessed this undersupply over the last decade (or more) and the rapid rise in the value of coastal land that has gone along with it. The style and type of housing that is needed will change as populations age and technology advances, but most changes will be easily accommodated within existing buildings. Transportation changes may have an effect on location preferences, but people’s desire to congregate and to seek entertainment is a powerful secondary driver – after the need to find work – of urbanisation. Across the world, real estate mainly comprises buildings to live in – one leading academic suggests 80 per cent. Human endeavour has rendered most old non-residential buildings redundant, and that remains a problem for the future. It is a fair bet that the owners of shopping centres,
office buildings and even hospitals will have to face up to rapid changes, not only in terms of configuration but in the very need for their property. No-one knows how we will shop or work in 50 years, or the amount of space needed by the robots that will make everything. But it is a sure bet that we will still wish to live under a roof. In previous articles I have touched on the population projections for our region and there is little argument that such an increase in the number of residents will have a twofold effect; firstly driving up prices for the limited available property and secondly, when the market cannot withstand the price pressure any longer, push out the boundaries of our townships through redevelopment. These demand pressures can only be withstood for so long and it is imperative that long-term planning strategies are put in place to cater for growth. Like a river in flood, we cannot stop the demand but it can be directed in ways that balance community preferences with economic realities. Simple economic theory states that where demand exceeds supply, prices will rise. Therefore with the obvious imbalance along the coast in particular, the overall demand for residential property makes the sector compelling for both investors and developers. So, in answer to the question posed at the beginning, the long term trend of property is always up – although cycles within the trend may result in abrupt rises or falls in value – and for this reason, good returns are ‘guaranteed’ for an intelligent, long-term participant in residential property.

Watch the ships sail through Port Phillip Heads from your balcony or enjoy the ocean views from your tennis court could all be a reality and still have plenty of room for the kids to play safely outside. Here’s an opportunity that is simply too good to pass on. Be quick and make it a reality and the lifestyle that it will create.

Mixing and Matching
External Materials
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you have to use
the same mix of building materials or finishes on every exterior wall. Choosing a combination of textures and products is a relatively simple way to provide visual contrast and add dimension and interest to clean lined designs. Rendered finishes combined with weatherboards provide a great contrast and throw interesting shadow lines. Choosing products that are hardy and relatively maintenance free should be high on the selection list. Looking at products with low embodied energy helps with your thermal and environmental component. A visually inviting house immediately draws attention and ignites our senses. Blue Cove Homes is a Custom Design Specialist. Designing your home allows you to incorporate all your own family and lifestyle needs. For a no obligation consultation please contact us.

Are houses still affordable?
WITH the bulk of the First Home Owners Grant behind us and interest rates returning to a healthy economic level, can a first home buyer still get into the market without needing to travel miles away from family and work? Contrary to popular belief, the answer is yes. According to David Borg, sales director at Burbank, first home buyers have the advantage of extensive planning and research to help them get a foot onto the property owners’ ladder. Borg cited one of the company’s latest developments to the east of Melbourne as an example of affordable housing. Closer to the Surf Coast and Bellarine, Burbank also has plenty of options for first home owners. “Our homes at Metro 3175, for example, provide homebuyers with a variety of affordable choices in a well-planned urban position, close to Central Dandenong and its long established amenities and infrastructure,” he said. Metro 3175, VicUrban’s 26.5-hectare development, answered a need to address Dandenong’s growing population. The estate is something of a medium density success story with the village offering architecturally designed homes and fully landscaped streetscapes – all just a few minutes walk to Dandenong’s CBD and public transport system. “Burbank won the 2009 UDIA Victoria Award for Excellence in Affordable Development at Metro 3175 because of our comprehensive attitude towards all of our products whether they are our top end homes or our first homes and apartments. You can be assured of a designer touch, quality product and sensible price, no matter what home your budget,” he said. Burbank designed and developed a number of apartments, townhouses and detached homes at Metro 3175 with specifically planned turn-key packages available, it has become possible for many to leave the rental market at virtually no additional cost.
Its ‘up and over’ apartments at Metro 3175 for example, accommodate 8x2 bedroom apartments in one attractive double storey building. Each has a single, lock up garage, low maintenance landscaping and additional off street parking. Given there is no ‘common property’, Body Corporate fees and overall running costs are also at a minimum. The success and appeal of Burbank’s designs at Metro 3175 have subsequently been used at estates across Melbourne such as Reflections in Tarneit, Williams Landing, Laverton and Lakeside, Pakenham to name only a few.
“Of course, Burbank also has the Genesis Collection, a collection of detached homes specifically created for first home buyers, empty nesters and investors. Our Victory design is a great example of an adaptable, quality design for a very affordable price,” Borg added. It’s the perfect time of year to be home ‘window shopping’ and Burbank’s 19 display locations across Melbourne are sure to inspire you. For display locations, floor plans, virtual tours and Burbank TV, visit www.burbank.com.au or contact Burbank on 13 BURBANK (13 2872).

Back on track at the Torquay Hotel BY SARAH LAWRENCE WITH the new owners of the Torquay Hotel stepping in yesterday, expect to see some major changes at the popular hotel in the near future. Simon Vickers-Willis and Andrew Routley have taken over the business from the Munday Group and plan to turn the hotel into the best venue in the region. “In a few months we hope people will walk in and feel a real change for the better,” said Routley. Some of their plans include an interior refurbishment, extension of their bistro with large function room and larger children’s playground. They will also be updating the menu quarterly and pleasing sports fans with the return of the FOX sports channel. Both owners have a long history with the iconic Bell Street venue. Routley has been the manager for the past eight years, during which time he has built up a passion for the hotel and he has many exciting ideas for the future. Vickers-Willis was owner between 1998-2004, during that time he renovated and refreshed that hotel before selling it to the Munday Group – he plans to do similar for the second time. Some of the acts playing this week include:
DJ Minx (pictured below) – this Friday night One of Australia’s best female DJs is DJ Minx, aka Rachel Phillips. In 2006 she became Onelove’s first female resident. She also had her own radio show on Nova 919 every Saturday night, where she proved her skills behind the mic, were just as assured as in the clubs. Since then she has relocated to Sydney last year, has performed at all the biggest festivals around the country and travelled to Singapore and Dubai. Phillips is also an ambassador for the Quicksilver For Women brand, an initiative that acts to support and promote influential and inspiring woman throughout the creative community. Madhouse – this Saturday night The eight-piece, brass-driven party band play a range of sounds from R&B, early 1980s to ska and reggae. For the past 15 years, they have developed a strong reputation as a band to get up and dance to. They will be playing a chilled out session outside in the early evening before moving inside. Their set list includes songs such as Superstition, C’mon Eileen and Tainted Love. They also play covers from bands such as Jet, The Cat Empire, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Blackeyed Peas and Franz Ferdinand.
House DJs on tonight and Wednesday night, including DJ Sam Turner Originally a bass guitar player in the early 2000, Turner started his own lighting business in 2003 and shortly after moved into the DJ scene. He has since working with some of Australia’s biggest DJs and started his own entertainment company called NT Tainment. He is the resident DJ at the Torquay Hotel on Friday and Saturday night. Grant Smillie (pictured left) – this Thursday night Grant Smillie ticks all the boxes. Host of Australia’s biggest dance radio show ‘Overdrive’ on the Nova network nationally, he also has collected 2 ARIA Awards with his dance outfit TV ROCK and is coowner of Neon Records, two of the most successful dance labels in the country. In 2009 he had bookings throughout the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Greece and Ibiza as well as Australia. Grant is currently a resident DJ for Onelove nationally and has mixed six of their 10 CD releases as well as mixing compilations for Ministry of Sound and his own imprint Neon. He will be one of the biggest names performing on the coast all summer.

CORKS CREW CELLARS
From a scribbler... to a signature! TO KICKSTART 2010, I’ve decided to feature two ripper reds – one iconic, the other a new kid on the block – that hail from one of Australia’s stalwarts of the industry – Yalumba Winery. Most of us have all tried a wine from Yalumba at some point – maybe more regularly than others? Either way, their history and standing in the Australian wine industry is of the highest order. The iconic Yalumba ‘The Signature’ series was first released back in 1962 and remains today a benchmark style for the distinctly Australian blend of premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, and with every release the wine is a tribute and acknowledgement that salutes the skills and dedication shown by the people involved at Yalumba who have contributed and enhanced their culture and traditions. A new addition to the portfolio is the aptly named, more ‘youthful’ version known as ‘The Scribbler’. While ‘The Signature’ is produced with up to five years ageing prior to release, and designed with longevity in mind, ‘The Scribbler’ on the other hand is all about the exuberance of youthful, ripe fruit ready for immediate enjoyment. In a way, it’s just a younger, more approachable version of ‘The Signature’ that still carries the richness, depth and somewhat intensity of its big brother, yet at a more approachable price.
Yalumba ‘The Scribbler’ 2008 Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon ($20)
This has been a success from day one and this latest release is no exception! Terrifically rich, this wine is brimming with vibrant, dense dark fruits and savoury spice. Fresh aromas of bright violets and wild herbs abound while the palate is silky smooth. The Shiraz and Cabernet is nicely layered with nicely tight, integrated tannins rounding out the finish. Lush and easy drinking.
Stuck for things to do? BY SARAH LAWRENCE IF YOU are sitting at home overwhelmed by the amount of things to do on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula, or you can’t decide what to do, we have compiled a list of our favourite things to do at the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times. A little cost‌ but lots of fun Those who are fond of the ocean may enjoy the Ride the Croc tourism vessel that takes you along Geelong Waterfront precinct before turning into a boat and plunging into Corio Bay (www.duckabout.com.au). Go a little further down the Bellarine to Queenscliff and you have the opportunity to snorkel with dolphins and seals. The trips last for three and a half hours and depart every morning and afternoon (www.dolphinswims.com.au). Queenscliff business, Green Grape Wine Tours and Cuisine provides tours of local wineries in the area for $55 per person, including wine tasting and lunch. The Torquay Sailing School has lots of fun activities, from catamarans to stand-up paddle boards. Use of the catamarans is $40 an hour, and can hold up to four people. If you’re after something a little quieter, Readings Cinemas in Waurn Ponds has the latest movies. A rainy day could provide the ideal time for a visit to Barwon Park Mansion in Winchelsea. Built in 1871, the mansion provides an interesting look
at the history of the area. Those tired mum and dads may like to treat themselves to a massage; there are plenty of beauty therapy salons along the coast with excellent reputations for providing high quality treatments. A little further down the track is the Otway Fly Treetop Walk, a 600-metre long and 25-metre high elevated tree top walk ascending at a gentle grade through the rainforest (www.otwayfly.com.au). And for free The peaceful area provides the perfect location for artists to let their creative juices flow. This has resulted in a large number of artists residing on the Surf Coast and Bellarine, plus a number of art galleries open, with the option of purchasing some of the works. Some of the galleries include the Eagle Nest Gallery in Aireys Inlet, Seaview Gallery in Queenscliff, Qdos Art Gallery in Lorne, Tigerfish and Bell Street Gallery in Torquay and Melaleuca Art Gallery in Anglesea. But if you prefer something a little more active, the Surf Coast and Bellarine are renowned for their walking tracks and this time of year, with many native flowers in bloom, makes it the perfect time to go for a relaxing bush walk. The iconic Aireys Inlet lighthouse is always popular, with sweeping views and relaxing walking tracks around it. Lovers of fresh produce will enjoy the markets on offer in the area that are on every weekend.
our view
Yalumba ‘The Signature’ 2005 Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon ($50)
Well renowned for its beautifully textured, dark chocolatey mouthfeel with layer upon layer of complex dark berry fruits, balanced oak and soft, supple tannins that coat the palate. Typically, the wine shows abundant Barossa generosity of flavour and length on the fine-grained finish. The intensity and structure suggest at least 10-15+ years in the cellar if you can wait that long.

Picnics and passing the time… the lazy holidays Packing the esky with cool drinks and easy-toeat food for a picnic at the beach is, to me, the very essence of the short holiday break. Mountain bread wraps filled with home-made tabouleh and a few slices of left-over ham off the bone, or perhaps a slice of frittata made with potato, semi-dried tomatoes and spring onions. It can be very exhausting just lazing about on the beach, so appetites are usually good. Chilled wedges of luscious watermelon are a welcome and cooling treat to finish off with. Once home, showered and slinking round trying to retain that feeling of coolness, it’s a fun pastime to bring out the board games or try your general knowledge with one of the aforementioned quizzes in the newspaper – as I said, there’s a distinct lack of ‘culture’ on the telly. Now, even though you’re on holidays, you can’t let the brain power lapse altogether, so here’s some trivia questions to test yourself and family and friends whilst you laze away in the coolness of the patio, a chilled Sauvignon Blanc at hand. Food trivia quiz For the quizmasters, here are some questions. Perhaps you could offer a covetable prize for the contestant
with the most correct answers… like they don’t have to do the dishes for the week. Alternatively the winner could be waited on hand and foot the next morning with a sumptuous breakfast picnic in bed. 1. What is Saganaki? 2. Which Australian cake was named after a former governor of Queensland? 3. Which cocktail got its name from the way oil workers stirred it with their tools? 4. Which country’s citizens are the world’s greatest cheese eaters? 5. When we eat kippers, which fish are we eating? 6. Why was the passionfruit given its name? 7. In the Rolling Stones’ Son You Can’t Always Get What You Want, what flavour is Mick Jagger’s favourite soda at the drugstore? 8. If apple juice makes cider, what does pear juice make? 9. What colour were the first tomatoes? 10. Meat Loaf was an act with an appropriate name, but what was his real name? a) David Metwurst; b) Marvin Lee Aday; c) Daryl Peter McLaughlin; d) Terry Gallantine. 11. Name the three main ingredients in the dessert Peach Melba.
12. Who was known as the Galloping Gourmet? In the event of a tie-breaker – or for the bonus points – after whom was the Peach Melba named and who created this dessert? Good luck in your pursuit of food trivia, wishing you lots of long lazy picnics and a healthy year in 2010.
ANSWERS 1. A Greek delicacy of fried cheese, often prepared using kefalo graviera. 2. Lamington - named after Baron Lamington 18961900. 3.Skrewdriver. 4. The French. 5. Herrings. 6. Its flower symbolised Christ’s passion. 7. Cherry red. 8. Perry. 9. Yellow or gold, hence the Italian name pomodoro, literally golden apple. 10. Marvin Lee Aday. 11. Poached peaches, ice-cream and raspberry sauce. 12. Graham Kerr. Tie-breaker: Dame Nellie Melba/August Escoffier.
WELL, the hectic lead up to Christmas is over for another year. For many people these early days of January are a welcome ‘time-out’ from work. It is also a time of new resolutions, of reflection as the print media recaps the ‘year that was’ with a summary line up of photos to mark standout events of the year just gone. These articles are often accompanied by a quiz covering many topics that test you on your general knowledge of major worldwide and local events. At last we find the time to catch up with friends over lazy, long lunches, and apart from the tennis there’s not much else worth watching on TV. In fact, I always associate this time of year with early morning forays to the beach, returning to the cool of the loungeroom before the midday heat really kicks in, and hungrily tucking into tuna and lettuce ‘dagwood sangas’ with a banana milkshake. Whizz together a ripe banana, a couple of spoonfuls of vanilla ice-cream with some milk – it’s cold, refreshing and very filling. And this very healthy lunch is perfect to enjoy while stretched out on the loungeroom floor, in front of the telly watching those energetic athletes lob balls at each other over a net. A picnic for one!

Tuesday 5 January 2010
BY SARAH LAWRENCE FOR DELICIOUS food complemented by a vintage surf culture feel, head to Bomboras on the Surf Coast Highway. Tom McGrath and Josh Friend, both in their late 20s, started the restaurant three years ago, and have worked hard to create a restaurant with fantastic food, great service and that ‘old surfing culture’ feel, with photography by local snapper, Barry Sutherland, adorning the walls. “We have worked really hard to ensure that our food is at a high standard and that we’ve included the locals, especially in the winter,� said McGrath. The venue is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and
Bomboras eggs benedic
dinner, making it one of the busiest venues on the Surf Coast. They also do cater for functions, with a versatile space that suits groups of all sizes. Their breakfast menu is full of healthy and fresh choices, including their Bomboras Benedict, with a toasted English muffin, poached egg, crispy bacon, spinach and Hollandaise sauce and an optional kransky sausage. “One lady gave us a Christmas card just to thank us for the eggs benedict. She goes to Curves gym in the morning and still comes down for the eggs benedict because she loves it so much,� said McGrath. Bomboras’ menu includes a huge array of gourmet pizzas that can also be ordered as takeaway. Their new summer main menu also has a delicious list of choices,
Rack of lamb
&
including McGrath’s personal favourite – the Bomboras rack of lamb served atop caramelised gnocchi with wilted spinach and drizzled with a red wine and mint glaze. This Sunday, Bomboras will host Anglesea singer, Kate Pollock, who will be playing a relaxing, afternoon acoustic session from 3pm-6pm. “Last year our Sunday afternoon sessions were very well received by locals. It seems like the perfect way to end your weekend,� McGrath said. Customers can also look out for their iconic bright orange panel van that often gets a wave from locals driving by. For more information, head to Bomboras at Shop 2, 108-110 Surf Coast Highway, Torquay, or call 5264 7881.

Party to the latest at Lefties BY SARAH LAWRENCE TORQUAY’S party central, Left Off The Rocks, has a great array of entertainment planned for the coming week. Here are a few standout acts coming up: Bradley D Luke playing this Saturday Playing all your singalong favourites from ’60s to modern, ballads to rock. From classics to old time rock ‘n’ roll, Bradley D Luke has a diverse range of entertainment to keep all ages covered. Bringing many years of experience on stage to every gig, from a finalist in Road to Tamworth and award-winning theatrical acting roles as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar to supports acts for James Reyne, Desiel, Jo Jo Zep, Rob Riley and Mental as Anything – he is a true passionate performer at heart. Squid playing this Sunday With trumpets, big band sounds, and groovy beats, it’s easy to see why the crowd always gets up to dance to Squid. The Jan Juc local band consists of JR on the bass, Scotty on trumpets, the keyboard and vocals,

Tuesday 5 January 2010
Sammy on percussion and Red on guitar. The band has been playing all over the Surf Coast over the past 12 months, drawing large crowds wherever they go. The band provides lots of fun for all ages. Justin Carter next Tuesday Charismatic and charming, Justin Carter is a well loved, regular performer at Left Off The Rocks. At just 24, Carter (right) took time off from his gruelling schedule last year to complete his latest album, Painting Pictures. It was well worth the break, as he has created an album about feeling the joys of falling in love and the pain of being forgotten. Having written the songs on the road there is a richness of diversity, from the innocent first single, Smile, to the desperate Broken Lines. With Carter’s music being used on the recent Australian Surf Movie Festival National Tour, Carter performed live during the tour of the film From Bondi to Margaret River. Corona beer has also been impressed enough to use Carter’s music on their latest TV campaign.

Home entertainment makes a comeback BY SARAH LAWRENCE
FOR THE past 11 years, Josie and Noel Anderson have been the friendly faces of community minded business, Network Video in Torquay. Despite the surges in downloading movies off the Internet – legally and illegally – the Anderson’s have seen an increase in customers renting movies. “The economic situation has made people more aware of their spending. I believe people find it a cheaper form of entertainment to rent a movie than go to the movie as a family,� said Josie. “It also is not always so cheap to download movies off the Internet. It takes up a lot of bandwidth and can cost them lots extra than renting a movie for less than $7.� And those looking to relax with a flick on their holidays, may want to take these recommendations of new movies from the Andersons.
Taking of Pelham 123 District 9 The film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed, only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. A South African bureaucrat is assigned to relocate a race of extraterrestrial creatures from a refugee camp in Johannesburg to a new one outside the city. The story deals with issues of xenophobia and social segregation.
Starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, this film is about a New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber (Washington) whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. Their leader is Ryder (Travolta) he connects by phone with Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Ryder demands $10million within an hour, or he’ll start shooting hostages. He’ll deal only with Garber.

Get out on the open water Tuesday 5 January 2010
BY SARAH LAWRENCE IF YOU love the wind rushing through your hair and being out on the ocean, then don’t look past the Surf Coast Sailing School in Torquay. Torquay local, Chris Hordern, started the school in October and has seen the Fisherman’s Beachbased business gradually increase in popularity. All of the staff are fully qualified and have been involved with the Torquay Sailing Club for more than 10 years. The business is currently running holiday courses on the following dates: Summer Intensive Sailing Course (9am-12pm) on Monday, January 11 until Wednesday, January 13, with the cost $180 per person. Learn to Sail Course (9am-12pm) on Sunday, January 31, Sunday, February 7 and Sunday, February 14, with the cost $180 per person. They also have catamarans, sea kayaks and standup paddleboards for hire as well as private lessons available. The sailing craft learnt on are called Hobie Wave Catamarans that Hordern regards as extremely user friendly.
“They are the easiest catamarans I’ve ever seen. They are boomless, so you don’t hit you’re head,” he said. “They are used in many resorts in Queensland and Fiji.” Hordern likes to stick to his motto that he believes sailing is so easy anyone can do it. “Everyone gets a PDF1 life jacket for safety. We’ve had people with disabilities, elderly people and young people all have go,” he said. “Because people are time poor, we have sailing boats rigged and ready to go. “Already, large groups and corporate teams have been coming down for sailing sessions and really enjoying it.” If you get a taste for sailing and would like to join the Torquay Sailing Club, members are able to use boats at the club for free rather than spending thousands on one of their own. There are also plans to have a new shed built for the sailing club this year so in the future, friends and family watching will be able to shelter themselves from the wind. For more information, visit www. surfcoastsailingschool.com.au or phone 0418 543 220.

DEC 29 - Jan 4 2009 With Mercury moving backwards through your sign (until January 16) be scrupulously honest and transparent in all your dealings. If you are loose with the truth, it will come back and bite you on the bum. As Elvis (born January 8) reminded us “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t going away”.
Aries are an amorous lot but have you lost your mojo? With mighty Mars (your ruling planet) moving backwards (until March 11) it’s one step forwards, two steps back especially when it comes to love, romance and creative projects. Be patient. Good things come to Rams who wait!
Crabs are capricious creatures – never more so than this week. Your emotions run the gamut from A to Z as you wrestle with your inner demons. Saturday is excellent for entertaining but the mood changes (again) on Sunday when you long for quality time in your own private fantasy world. Invitation only!
You adore outer beauty and refinement (and many Librans pursue careers in fashion, the arts or the beauty industry). This weekend, take a look at what makes you tick on the inside – at your values and sense of self-worth. It’s time to appreciate your own inner gorgeousness.
Be a tactful Taurean with work colleagues – there’s always two sides to every story. And don’t let the green-eyed monster raise its ugly head this weekend. Jealousy is so unbecoming and green is definitely not your best colour! Your motto for the next seven days? “If you love someone, set them free …”
Do you feel as if you’re going backwards? Have your motivation levels plunged to zero? Blame it on Mars reversing through your sign. Smart Lions will conserve energy, plan future projects and prepare to pounce from March 11 onwards. “The key to everything is patience.” (Arnold Glasgow)
The power of the group is on your side midweek, so make sure you join in. You’re at your Scorpio best (and worst) this weekend, as the Moon moves through your sign. Aim to be passionate and persistent, rather than stubborn and secretive. You need to give a little in order to get a lot.
Your restlessness will ease as the week goes on, but what about your stubborn attitude towards a loved one? Try to be more philosophical, and think of ways you can compromise and find a win-win solution. Don’t underestimate the power of social networking sites to get your message out to the world.
With Mercury (your ruling planet) in retrograde motion, sexual politics is a minefield over the next two weeks, so tread carefully. Don’t assume anything. Whether you are attached or single, jumping to conclusions (without checking the facts first) is a recipe for trouble.
There’s a problem you’re worried about but does it really exist or is it just a figment of your overactive imagination? Rather than obsessing in private, talk things over with a trusted friend. You may be worrying unnecessarily. This weekend favours nurturing contacts within your local community.
Concentrate on completing tasks and getting the nuts and bolts right, before you launch into new ventures. Be organized with your goals and dreams for the future; write them down and focus on them everyday. Be inspired by birthday great Carl Sandburg (born January 6) “Nothing happens unless first a dream”.
Pay attention to your dreams Pisces. They are sending you precious information about how you can heal rickety relationships and solve tricky problems. Your unconscious mind is a powerful tool just waiting to be tapped into! Neptune weaves a web of illusion on Sunday so keep your feet on the ground.

The Kid is back in town ONE OF the toughest competitors the AFL has seen, Dermott Brereton, teamed up with two of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top surfers in Adam Robertson and Nikki van Dijk to win the Coastalwatch Surf For Life Charity event at Torquay on Saturday. Brereton, a five-time premiership player with Hawthorn, freely admitted he was unsure he could carry that great record through to the ocean. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry, however, because he had two top-class surfers by his side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great day at Torquay and the Surf For Life is all about fun and surfing for a fantastic charity in the Starlight Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation,â&#x20AC;? said Brereton, who was known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; during his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pleasure to team up with Robbo and Nikki, who put my surfing to shame but the finals record has improved and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win.â&#x20AC;? Star Melbourne forward, Brad Miller, was the celebrity in the team that placed second. Miller, an enthusiastic summer surfer, teamed with Jan Jucâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nic Muscroft and Phillip Island surfer India Payne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dean Bailey doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind me surfing during the summer, he actually surfs himself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too happy about me placing second today,â&#x20AC;? Miller laughed. It was all about fun and funds and awareness of the Starlight Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation and the large crowds at Torquay enjoyed some great surfing from Robertson, Van Dijk, Muscroft and Payne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and some entertaining surfing from Brereton and Miller. Partnering Coastalwatch and the Starlight Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation in the event is the Quiksilver Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation committed to benefiting and enhancing the quality of life for communities of boardriders across the world by supporting environmental, educational, health and youth-related projects.

Edmonds’ reign comes to an end
ANGLESEA Surf Life Saving Club’s annual Rock2Ramp open water swim saw more than 700 competitors take to the ocean last week for the annual fundraising event. The swim is a major fundraiser for the Anglesea SLSC, and is also one of six legs in the St Vincent’s/Cousins Travel Ocean Swim series which raises funds for the Cardiac Unit at St Vincent’s Hospital. This year’s event threw up a few surprises, including the first defeat in nine years for Anglesea local Shane Edmonds. A life saver at Anglesea, Edmonds had been unbeaten in his age categories for the last eight years, but that came to an end when Sam Hume proved a little too strong, edging him out by 12 seconds. Making it a memorable day for the family, Hume’s wife, Naantali Marshall made a successful return to open water swimming. Marshall had taken time off after the birth of her first child, but in her return event she overpowered last year’s winner, Lisandra De Carvalho to win by 32 seconds, with Kate Murphy finishing third. The men’s open event was won by former Torquay local, Jack Hansen, who now lives and trains in Queensland, from Mark O’Donnell and Trent Goulding; with the women’s open race won by Harriet Brown, with Kelly Higgins second and Lisa Jane Harper third.
Rock2Ramp category placegetters were: Open Men (18-29) Jack Hansen 13.13 Mark O’Donnell 13.28 Trent Goulding 13.35 Open Women (18-29) Harriet Brown 13.51 Kelly Higgins 15.36 Lisa Jane Harper 15.49 Junior Men (12-17) Guy Kinsey 15.09 Darcy Hansen 15.22 James Porter 15.25
Junior Women (12-17) Zoe Whitfield 16.01 Felicity Dick 16.08 Isabelle Robinson 16.22 Senior Men (30-39) Sam Hume 14.32 Shane Edmonds 14.44 Jude Allan 14.49

producing good bream, mullet, salmon and trevally. Open waters are producing lots of different fish with some very good snapper catches taking place all along the coast, with swarms of pinkies also being caught. Gummy sharks seem to be prolific, with many reports of mako sharks and thresher sharks being taken in numbers, with many being returned to the ocean. And just a quick word of advice; by passing on best practices to your son or daughter while out fishing, with regards to catch and release, you will be doing your own bit to help protect the future of our recreational fisheries. Remember, when fishing, it always pays to let the pictures do the talking. We always pass this advice on to the increasing numbers of families that are becoming involved in fishing as many are realising just how easy it is to actually get out there and give it a go.

AS QUICK as we know, we are already well past Christmas and a new year lies ahead of us. Although it is only days old, the year already has its share of controversy as far as anglers are concerned, with Peter Garrett’s plan to ban the fishing of mako sharks at the end of this month. Thousands of signatures against this decision have already been received, with most tackle stores throughout Australia having the petitions available for signing. Also, both Liberal and some Labor politicians calling on Garrett to reverse his decision and consult with anglers and their representative bodies before moving forward. Moving on, the fishing season is well and truly under way with some fantastic catches being reported all along our coast. The rivers on the Bellarine and Surf Coast are
