Kilgour Estate to remain in local hands, with Leura Park owners taking over
BY ALISON MARTIN
ICONIC Bellarine winery and restaurant, Kilgour Estate, has been purchased by Leura Park Estate’s David and Lyndsay Sharp, with the official handover today. The significant sale for the region will enable former Kilgour owner, Anne Timms, to eventually establish a new winery and cellar door under the label Longest View. Leura Park Estate director, David Sharp, said the couple were “over the moon about the new venture”. “We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to take on Kilgour Estate – it is one of the most brilliant sites on the Bellarine with great food, wine

and spectacular views spanning across the bay from Geelong, the You Yangs to Melbourne,” he said. David said the McAdam Lane restaurant would continue to offer the same fine food and wine experience, seven days a week, and dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. The experienced Kilgour staff will remain, including chef, David Holl, who has been preparing specialty dishes such as Portarlington mussels, at the restaurant for more than two years. “We are looking forward to extending the relationship with existing staff and local suppliers and continue showcasing the multitude of great produce from within this region,” David said. Lyndsay said the two wineries would be operated
separately, with both offering completely different experiences and retaining their individual wine labels. However, the Leura Park couple, who have purchased the restaurant, winery and four acres of pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon vines, have plans for the further development of Kilgour Estate over time. “Ideas and plans are still evolving so it will be a case of ‘watch this space’ but people can be guaranteed that any concepts in the pipeline are designed to enhance visitor experience to the Bellarine,” David said. The peninsula’s wine lovers and growing tourism industry will also benefit from Anne’s plans to
eventually create a new winery and label at the nearby McAdams Lane property she will retain. Anne said she would retain 20 acres of grapes and was in the process of renovating a property where she would live and establish the boutique label, Longest View. David said Kilgour Estate was a credit to Anne, who he described as a Bellarine icon herself, and explained she had built up “a terrific venue for food and wine lovers to experience the many bounties this wonderful region has to offer”. “We both have great respect for Anne – she has been tireless in her dedication and efforts over the years in promoting the region and putting back into the community,” he said.

At our last meeting council formally supported the international Mayors for Peace organisation. Mayors for Peace was founded by the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1982. The main aim of the campaign is to promote the total abolition of nuclear weapons and the realisation of genuine and lasting peace around the world. In April 2008, Mayors for Peace announced the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Protocol, a roadmap to a world free of nuclear weapons by 2020. Members of Mayors for Peace take part in lobbying activities at the United Nations to raise awareness and gain support for nuclear weapons abolition. To date, some 3,880 cities and regions around the world have expressed support for this initiative. By supporting Mayors for Peace we are stepping onto the international stage in support of a peaceful world free from weapons of mass destruction.

Energy efficient street lights trialed in Clifton Springs
We are trialing energy efficient street lighting at Clifton Springs as a way to help reduce our CO2 emissions. Currently, street lighting represents around 44 percent per cent of Council’s greenhouse gas emissions. The trial will reduce the annual CO2 emissions of the lights being replaced from 25 tonnes to 8 tonnes, which is a 68 per cent reduction. Works have started to replace 47 conventional streetlights in Clifton Springs with 28 watt T5 ‘Streetworx’ lights.
If the trial is successful we’ll look at installing the energy efficient street lights in other areas. The trial complements the 2010 MAV public lighting campaign, ‘Give Our Streets the Green Light’. This campaign lobbies state and federal governments to address a number of barriers preventing widespread use of energy efficient street lighting. The City of Greater Geelong is one of 44 Victorian local governments actively participating in the campaign. The trial also addresses our objective to lead the way in the implementation of energy efficient lighting systems, identified in the city’s Greenhouse Response.

Pedestrian safety in Stephens Parade, near Barwon Heads Golf Club, has been improved with the completion of a section of footpath in an area where pedestrians previously had to pick their way along the edge of the roadway. Stephens Parade is a relatively narrow road reservation, leaving very little space for the pedestrian traffic on the eastern side. in order to provide enough space beside the road for a formal

August election called WITH the Federal election set for August 21, Corangamite voters can expect the battle between Darren Cheeseman and Sarah Henderson to intensify over the coming months. The once ‘safe Liberal Seat’ became marginal at the last election when Cheeseman, the sitting Member for Corangamite, won the seat for the ALP However, since gaining Liberal pre-selection as Corangamite’s next candidate, Henderson has led a broad, public campaign in preparation for the anticipated early election. In launching his campaign, Cheeseman said the Bellarine and Surf Coast had been part of a safe Liberal seat for 73 years and had been taken for granted,
getting very little facilities and services. “So there was, and is, a lot to do,� he said “As a father and husband, and having spoken to hundreds of families across my electorate, I understand what my constituents priorities are. “I have taken a roll the sleeves up approach, working hard to get some immediate improvements to highways, schools and health services. “If re-elected my central focus will be securing new industries and jobs for the Bellarine and Surf Coast region, bedding down new trades training facilities, the new Southern Geelong Hospital and better health services, and working on a more sustainable region.�
Henderson said after 12 months of meeting people she believed the electorate was looking for a good listener, a strong advocate, a hard worker and someone who understands the region. “There are many in our community who feel they do not have a voice,� she said. “They are farmers, working families, small business operators, the elderly, the unemployed and small rural communities. I will ensure they have that voice.� “Local infrastructure is important to our future. That is why I was pleased to have secured a $195million commitment to fund the completion of the Princes Highway duplication from Geelong to Colac.�

STAGE three of the Point Richards redevelopment is under way, with the groyne completed and new jetty now being constructed. Bellarine Bayside chief executive, Tim Page-Walker, said the new jetty and four-lane concrete boat ramp would be reopened at the end of August, providing greatly improved access to boats and a reshaped bay to protect beaches through to Portarlington. He said the groyne had been designed to collect seagrass that had previously gathered
on the old boat ramp and prevented boats from being launched at certain times. “The groyne has been designed to stop the large amount of sand movement from east to west and collect the seagrass which is naturally occurring and breaks off then washes through. It used to accumulate on the ramp and then continue on to the beach,� he said. “The ramp will now stay free of seagrass; it will gather in the pocket at the groyne and can be easily collected and removed. “Seagrass was used in insulation and it makes good garden mulch; we are asking for any ideas on how it can be best reused.�

POINT Lonsdale’s Michael Simondson is the new resident artist at Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House, bringing inspiration to the creative environment and community. The opportunity to establish his ceramic studio at the Tobin Street house is proving beneficial to his work and to the many people who visit and utilise the new facilities. Simondson has been preoccupied with the unique for more than 15 years, exploring subtle yet strong forms to create harmony with the depth of his glazes. He depends on the unpredictable to compose the alchemy of his surfaces and the effects are random, while producing a translucent beauty.
Simondson explained that for him, the challenge of modern ceramics was “to pursue stylistic development within traditional boundaries; to strike equilibrium between the handcraft ideal, technology and contemporary design�. He has undergraduate and masters qualifications in ceramic design and has exhibited widely in Australia and the United Kingdom. The versatile ceramic artist is looking forward to meeting other artists and is encouraging the community to call in at the studio, which he shares with the local Men’s Shed. For information on the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House facilities and courses, phone 5258 3367.

court funding
A NEW netball court at Drysdale is on the City of Greater Geelong’s ‘wish list’ for State Government funding. CoGG councillors voted to apply to the State Government for the sport facility funding at last week’s meeting. CoGG will apply for a total of $323,000 in Sport and Recreation Victoria grants to upgrade local sports facilities. The application includes $60,000 for the construction of a new netball court and installation of new lighting at the Drysdale Football-Netball Club. CoGG mayor, John Mitchell, said local sports clubs played a huge role on the Bellarine, not only in keeping people active but also in connecting the community. “Making sure we have high quality sport and recreation facilities is one of council’s most important responsibilities,� Mitchell said. He said CoGG worked had closely with local sports clubs to identify projects for the Sport and Recreation Victoria funding application. “There were plenty more worthy local projects that we would have loved to include, however, we were limited in the number we could apply for,� Mitchell said.
Michael Simondson is artist in residence at Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House.

“The first
9 things I’ll do if elected.�
1. Support initiatives to restore the integrity of Australia’s borders. 2. I’ve already secured a funding commitment to
duplicate the Princes Highway from Winchelsea to Colac. I will also continue to work with local communities to identify road ‘black spots’and secure funding to improve road safety.
3. Work with environmental, community and
Landcare groups on local initiatives, such as the Clean Energy Coast Forum.
4. Support local small business to help get
the economy growing and create local jobs.
5. Work with school councils and school principals to improve our local schools. 6. Oppose plans by Labor and the Greens
– which will increase private health insurance premiums and put more pressure on hospitals.
7. Support a rejuvenated Landcare program to ensure those who work the land and care about sustainability are supported.
8. Fight to ensure urban growth does not outpace the infrastructure needed to support growing communities.
9. Improve public safety and secure more CCTV cameras in known trouble spots, with a direct feed to local police stations.

Seven injured SEVEN people were injured when a car collided with a mini bus on the Bellarine Highway, near the Portarlington Queenscliff Road last Wednesday. The accident happened about 12.30pm when the mini bus, containing four nursing home residents, a carer and a driver, collided with the car waiting to make a right hand turn. Occupants of both vehicles were taken to hospital. The driver of the car suffered head injuries but they were not life threatening.
President wanted IN KEEPING with a quest for new ideas and new leadership, Barwon Heads Festival of the Sea is seeking a new president. After two years at the helm, current president, David Littleton, is standing down at tonight’s festival of the Sea AGM. Moo Media’s Chris Bryan, said although the committee was sad to lose Littleton it was not unexpected. “It has been a Festival of the Sea policy to try and get regular changes in these top positions,” he said. “This keeps things fresh and gives the opportunity for new ideas and ways of doing things to be tried.” However Bryan reassured anyone considering the new role as president that most of the 2010 team
05
would be staying on to organise next year’s event and provide valuable support. “This is one reason why we think the new president does not have to come from within – yes anyone could put their hand up,” he said. “Of course there is still always room for new members. So whether you are interested in arts or the environment, music or food, or even want to help organise the famous Duck Race why not come along to the next meeting; who knows it really could change your life – well, a little bit anyway…” For more of an insight into the position of president, call David Littleton on 5254 1066. The festival AGM will be held at the Barwon Heads community hall tonight, July 20 at 7.30pm.
Join the primary school gardeners
GREEN thumbs and plant growers are encouraged to join Point Lonsdale Primary School’s redevelopment of its grounds and gardens. The new school was opened last year and the garden areas are now being developed by an enthusiastic group of parents who meet for a gardening bee on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 2pm and 3.30pm. There are plans to create themed gardens using a variety of plants features, including the construction of a pier, a mosaic rockpool and extensive replanting and restoration of the dunscape, in conjunction with the Borough of Queenscliffe. The themes will all mimic the natural environment and the community is urged to
participate in the garden project to complete the connection between school and its surrounds. The school is hoping to attract donations of a range of items including an old wooden boat, plants, rocks and soil, rather than wait and rely on grants. Community members are also invited to donate their time to assist with a range of garden projects. For more information, contact Lucie on lucieseaflower@yahoo.com.au or phone the school on 5258 1501. Point Lonsdale PS students, Henry, Christian, Oscar and Bethany, are enjoying seeing the new gardens around the school take shape.

DCSCA UPDATE DCSCA’s inaugural Festival of Glass in Drysdale now has a confirmed date: Sunday, February 20, 2011, from 10am to 5pm at the Potato Shed in Drysdale. There will be a pre-festival ‘starter’ event on Saturday 19 February, also at the Potato Shed. The festival combines art, craft and industry to celebrate all things glass; and the festival committee is starting to receive inquiries from people and organisations interested in participating. DCSCA is an active member of the Affiliation of Bellarine Community Associations (ABCA), which meets each quarter to discuss crossBellarine issues. On June 18, ABCA representatives met Stephen Griffin, chief executive officer of the City of Greater Geelong, for the first time. Four Bellarine-wide issues were on the agenda: CoGG’s public consultation policy, infrastructure on the Bellarine, the Bellarine in CoGG’s strategic priorities and regional responses to climate change. The meeting was positive and business-like and Stephen Griffin has called for a follow-up meeting in late August. We’re just two months away from DCSCA’s Annual General Meeting on September 22 and the committee has started to plan the event. Its core business is to review the past year’s activities and elect a new committee for 20102011 and we’re working to make the meeting inviting and enjoyable – more next month!

Cheesemaking workshop BY ALISON MARTIN
Clifton Springs’ Prep teacher, Andrea Carlton, shows the concept design of the new Developmental Inquiry Garden to students, Elijah, Dharma and Brayden.
Help out in the garden BY ALISON MARTIN CLIFTON Springs Primary School is calling for a voluntary project manager to oversee the creation of its new Developmental Inquiry Garden. School principal, Brent Richards, said the school was inviting community members with horticultural knowledge and the enthusiasm to dedicate time to the innovative garden project to come forward. He said the DIG design had been developed by award-winning school garden designer, Polly Musgrove, in consultation with students, staff and parents. “This project will be an extremely exciting opportunity to construct an interactive, engaging
and creative outdoor classroom and developmental inquiry play area for our students to explore and enhance their learning and skills,� he said The garden will be established outside the junior classrooms, near the school’s main entrance and will feature a ‘creek bed’, stage, sandpit, tree tunnel, flower boxes, various garden beds and a rocket ship shed for garden equipment. The project will encourage students to develop their senses and link with all areas of the school curriculum, while involving the community to share their knowledge with local children. For more information on the garden and project manager position, contact Clifton Springs Primary School on 5251 3581.

HERE is the chance to learn how to make your own cheese and yoghurt after next month’s Drysdale Harvest Basket produce swap. Harvest Basket member and cheesemaker, Charlene Bancroft, will be sharing her knowledge and teaching workshop participants how to make their own feta and yoghurt in a day. “It’s actually very simple. The main priority is cleanliness and ensuring everything is sanitised. Certain ingredients have to be ordered but all the equipment you would have in your own kitchen,� she said. Charlene explained timing was important with the cheese making process and after it had been made, it was then a case of waiting until it had ripened and was ready to eat. She hopes to expand her repertoire, which currently includes camembert, feta, gourmet feta and blue cheese, to making hard cheeses and eventually gaining the qualifications to be a ‘master cheesemaker’. To learn the art of cheesemaking with Charlene, a workshop will be held at SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre between 11am and 5pm after the harvest basket food swap on Saturday, August 7. However, places are limited, so book now at SpringDale on 5253 1960. And if you have winter vegetables, preserves, eggs or any other excess produce to swap, bring them along and join the Harvest Basket from 9am on August 7.

Golfing village launch BARWON Heads’ new marketing concept Golfing Village by the Sea will be launched in less than six weeks. The initiative has been developed by Bellarine Tourism, in conjunction with Barwon Heads Traders Association, Thirteenth Beach Golf Links, Barwon Heads Golf Club, and Geelong Otway Tourism. The first preview of the new promotion will coincide with the Bellarine Annual Networking and Business function and all businesses and individuals on the Bellarine are invited to attend. Bellarine Tourism’s president, Hugo Armstrong, said the launch of the new concepts and the networking function at the Barwon Heads Golf Club was a real coup. “It will be a prime opportunity to get to know other operators and form new relationships in a unique, and usually ‘members only’ location,” he said. “With live music, substantial canapés and an opportunity to mingle with various distinguished guests – this is one date to highlight on your calendar. There are limited tickets available, so it’s best to get in quick.” Geelong Otway Tourism executive director, Roger Grant, said the development of this new marketing angle for Barwon Heads was very exciting and he was keen to see the industry’s response to the concepts. “The new marketing angle for Barwon Heads is one aimed at supporting our industry and ensures the town actively capitalises on its competitive advantages. In tourism, you must always have a point of difference to first attract people, then to bring them back if you wish to have a viable industry in your village, town or city,” he said. “They may not be as pretty as Barwon Heads, but there are many ‘Villages by the Sea’ around
the world, all vying for the same market. Changing the tourism marketing angle of Barwon Heads to Golfing Village by the Sea offers that point of difference.” The annual networking function will also be an opportunity to see the very first preview of the brand new Bellarine Taste Trail website, being
built by local company DDG. The Bellarine Taste Trail is Bellarine Tourism’s hero product and this brand new website a key to its ongoing success. The networking function on Thursday, August 26 starts at 6pm and tickets are $25 for Bellarine Tourism members and $27 for non members. For tickets phone Emma Keith on 5244 7107.
More than 160 locals enjoyed the 2009 Annual Bellarine Business & Networking Function, with many expected to join the crowd at this year’s event

BELLARINE travellers who catch the train at Marshall will benefit from an additional 300 car spaces at the station. Marshall is the first station to benefit through the upgrade programme which will make it easier for Barwon Heads and other Bellarine residents to access V/Line services. This upgrade delivers a total of 400 spaces as patronage on the Geelong line growing by 83.6 per cent in the past four years. Last week’s introduction of the latest threecar VLocity train has brought the number of VLocity seats added to the regional rail network to 7400 in the past four years. Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, said the improvements were great news for local commuters who use local bus services and the rail network to get to their destination. “Initiatives such as this are helping us deliver on our aim to ensure Victorians spend less time commuting and more time with their families,” Crutchfield said. He said the car park works at Marshall Station were carried out by VicTrack, with other improvements including additional disabled car spaces, as well as upgrades to lighting, CCTV security, landscaping and upgraded pedestrian walkways. “Another critical improvement is the addition of a new secure cage for 30 bikes,” Crutchfield said. “The Parkiteer cages are a fantastic addition to the public transport network for people who want to access the rail network by bike and enjoy secure, free, undercover bike parking,” he said. Cyclists wanting to use the cage can register at www.parkiteer.com.au

$100,000 for Headspace
09
BY ALISON MARTIN
BELLARINE Community Health has received a significant funding boost towards the establishment of the new Headspace facility at Drysdale. Bellarine Community Health chief executive, John Fendyk, said the project had received $50,000 from Percy Baxter Trust and a further $50,000 from Perpetual Trustees through the Harry Secombe Trust. He said both grants would go towards building costs of the new health and wellbeing centre for young people throughout the Bellarine. Fendyk said the Barwon Bellarine Headspace facility, located next to the Potato Shed, on Peninsula Drive, would be officially opened on Friday, August 6. He said the Headspace health and wellbeing centre would be an important facility for young people and he was pleased it would soon be operating as a permanent base for services on the peninsula. The new centre, which is also adjacent to Bellarine Secondary College, includes five private rooms which feature a high level of sound-proofing for confidentiality, reception, waiting area, meeting room, staff office, disabled and family toilet amenities and all ability access. The building has a range of environmental measures including a rainwater harvesting system

for toilets and low energy office lighting and equipment. When the Headspace centre opens and health professionals begin taking appointments, it will be
open to the public Monday to Friday, 1pm to 5pm. All youth services on the Bellarine will continue to be available through Bellarine Community Health on 5258 0888.
Local childcare services share in funding SEVEN Bellarine childcare services will share in a new round of State Government funding for toys, books, resource kits or minor works. Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said more than 1,000 children’s services across the state would share in a total of $1.5million in funding. After school hours care programmes at Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre, Portarlington
Primary School, Queenscliff Primary School and SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre vacation care; outside school hours care at Leopold School Holiday Club and Ocean Grove School holiday club; and SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre vacation care will all receive grants or resource kits. The grants and kits are aimed at helping occasional care, family day care and outside school hours care
programmes comply with new regulations. Under the new regulations these programmes are required to be licensed for the first time. The resource kits range from a selection of high quality toys, including musical instruments, puzzles, books and music CDs to health and nutrition information for carers including cooking activities to do with children and healthy food toys.

Students and staff settle in
ST LEONARDS Primary School students and teachers are enjoying the benefits of their new $2million school building, completed at the end of last term. The open plan building provides spacious learning areas for classes and many energy efficient and sustainable design features, including ample natural light and water tanks. The new facilities will include classrooms, a multipurpose area and administration space. The original red brick school building has been retained and will be transformed into the school’s library now the new building is complete. Work on developing the school’s new playground and basketball courts is expected to start when the portable rooms – used during the school construction – are removed.
Twenty ten ball THIRTY students from Bellarine Secondary College and Saint Ignatius College have spent the past 12 weeks dancing in preparation for the Twenty Ten Deb Ball. The event is being hosted by Portarlington’s Church by the Bay, to provide an opportunity for young people on the northern Bellarine to participate in “an important tradition”. The church received grants from Youth Foundations Victoria, which is supported locally by Bellarine Peninsula Community Bank, the Victorian Government, and funds through Greater City of Geelong councillor, Jan Farrell. Church by the Bay is also financially supporting the debutante event to make it financial affordable for more young people. The deb group will present five dances, with a sixth dance involving each debutante and a special person in their life. The participants will be presented to church Pastor Dave Rock, and wife, Julie, and Youth Foundations Victoria’s Rob Evans.

Community hub taking shape BY ALISON MARTIN CLUB Grove’s $5million redevelopment is on track and on budget, with the floor of the new restaurant to be completed from start to finish today. Using a state-of-the-art construction process, two heavy-duty cranes will be used to lift the 50 flooring planks into place across the 600-square metre area. The planks are hollow core, steel reinforced concrete. The floor will be in place within a day, unlike a poured concrete base which would take significantly longer and be subject to weather conditions. Project design and management company, 3BM Design and Construction, is using the latest technology to ensure the Club Grove redevelopment is completed by November 30 – in time for the busy Christmas holiday trade. 3BM chief executive, Bruce Mansfield, said the construction works were “going brilliantlyâ€?. “The critical challenge of both the design and the building was to be able to maximise operation and trading at Club Grove as construction moves forward,â€? he said. “The restaurant and cafĂŠ areas will be completed while we also commence the members’ lounge and reception area, then we continue renovation through

Leopold planning for flood A LEOPOLD North Flood Map has been formally adopted by City of Greater Geelong and will guide all development in specified low-lying areas. The map was developed following thorough public consultation undertaken in March 2010. The large area covering more than 700 hectares is identified as Leopold North drainage catchment and located north of the Bellarine Highway, with its main valley east of Clifton Avenue. The mapping details significant flooding within
11
the main valley of this catchment area. The report to council stated that historical flood events and the findings of flood studies undertaken in conjunction with development applications were assessed to produce the flood map for the “100-year Average Recurrence� interval flood event. The map identified at least 16 properties within the study area that are affected by the flood event. CoGG councillor, Andy Richards, said the map was important for future development.
“New houses built in an area considered liable to flooding are required to have certain floor levels to prevent damage from floods,� he said. “By mapping out the flood zones in this catchment area we ensure land management and development is conducted safely and appropriately.� It was proposed that a future planning scheme amendment be undertaken to incorporate the identified relevant flood zone into the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme.

Income Protection Insurance
ARE YOU COVERED?? Income protection insurance often falls into the Australian “she’ll be right” category along with many other types of insurance. Most people do not think twice about insuring their car, house and contents, but sometimes hesitate about insuring their most important asset – the ability to earn a living. Consider this, the average Australian could earn around $2,500,000 in their lifetime, much more than the value of the average home, this is the value of income protection. Sometimes life can be unpredictable, leaving us in situations that we did not foresee and hence did not plan for. The ability to work and make money is not something that should be taken for granted, this is when income protection cover can give you and your family peace of mind. Income protection can pay up
to 75% of your income with many optional benefits, this is normally paid monthly and some providers even offer the option to take a lump sum up front. In addition to this, the cost of the premium is usually tax deductible. Income protection allows you to continue to receive an income when you are sick or injured and unable to perform your normal duties. It is estimated that 1 in 3 Australians will be off work due to injury or illness for a period of 3 months or more during their working life. This helps illustrate the importance of income protection in providing living expenses, pay the mortgage and bills during this time until you are well enough to return to work. In extreme cases, it will even pay you a monthly benefit until age 65 if required.
Since each of us face different risks it makes sense to talk to an adviser to help you find the income protection policy that suits your specific needs. The right amount of income protection insurance will give you and your family peace of mind, and knowledge the bills and mortgage will be paid should you become injured or ill.

AUSTRALIAN house prices took out another international award this week with The Economist releasing the results of its latest study that compares current price-to-rent ratios to their long-term average. Unsurprisingly, of the 20 countries studied, Australia came in as number one, followed by Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, France, and Great Britain. There are clear signs, however, that the real estate market is turning. Figures released this week show mortgages for people buying new houses fell by 0.7 per cent in May and are now down 20 per cent over the past six months. At the same time, the supply of houses coming onto the market has risen sharply over the last two months in all capital cities. Louis Christopher, of property group SQM Research, opined: “It is worrying for listings to increase so rapidly during the winter period when you normally expect a quiet period. “It suggests that something
more than just the normal cyclical changes in the market is going on.” What is slipping under the radar, however, are concerns about Australia’s employment. These were highlighted in the OECD’s annual employment outlook which showed that Australia’s unemployment is the eighth lowest of the 27 OECD countries, but that Australia’s employment ranks only twentieth as far as prime-age workers are concerned. Australia, it says, has “a large pool of under-employed workers” with 25 per cent of those with jobs working part-time and 21 per cent of people of prime-working age (25-54) having no job at all. The OECD report also shows that more than 90 per cent of the reduction in total hours worked in Australia in the two years to the end of 2009 was due to declining working hours rather than a reduction in employment. This compares with just 50 per cent on average in previous downturns.

Dear Editor, I knew about the telecommunication tower and that it was going on the Colac Otway Shire block in Forrest – and I was waiting for a letter of notification. I had been onto the shire about moving rubbish from next to my fence because we were getting ready for the fire season, yet I heard nothing back. However, one day there was a lot of activity in the block and I thought “at last they are cleaning it up”. I walked to the back of my block and was very shocked to find this great hole the size of a swimming pool close to my side fence. I rang the shire and finally got to speak to someone about it. I said: “I have only one question – where is my letter?” The lady went through the files and said that the names and addresses were sent to Optus for them to notify those on the list. Interestingly, at the Forrest public meeting with the shire recently, shire chief executive officer, Rob Small, admitted that he had opened the file that day to discover that it was actually council who had sent the notifications, not Optus! I am still waiting for my letter. My husband and I saved very hard for when we retired so we could buy a house in the country and this happened 25 years ago. I have been a widow for the last 10 years. But I will fight to keep our dream.

Time to be honest and upfront Dear Editor, It is time to for the Surf Coast Shire to be honest and explain to the ratepayers in “every day” language that ratepayers can understand. Mr Davies, CEO Surf Coast, writes this is all well within State Government guidelines’ of 56% annual rate revenue falling to 41% by 2013-2014. In my opinion, quoting a record expense of $29.2million to capitol works is a red herring. Of more importance is how the record expense is being financed. Budget papers show that a run down of
current assets due to the planned use of cash reserves is the secret to success. To run down cash reserves from $10million to $1.1million within two years is hardly good financial management. What will happen next year and how will this cash be replenished? I have very little faith in the State Government guidelines and estimates, for example, the MYKI project. If MYKI was a private business concern the whole project would be wound up by the courts. The cost predictions’ and design of building the Community and Civic Precinct will have to have greater accuracy and scrutiny than the recent debacle of the new toilet precinct in the IGA car park. I hope and pray that more thought and detail is taken over the forward planning of the new Community and Civic Precinct than this toilet project. One does wonder who “messed” up this project and once more ratepayers’ money is down the drain – or toilet – as is this case. The buck has to stop on someone’s desk, be named and be accountable. It is ratepayers’ money. If the small size of the toilet block debacle is any indication of the efficiency of council, we should not be going ahead with something the size of the Community and Civic Project until ratepayers’ can be assured council can guarantee we will get value for our money and investment. I am a retiree who has lived in Torquay for nearly 10 years and who does not need to have shock announcements come out of the left field that may happen in the future. Extra expenses created by poor planning similar to what has happened repeatedly in the last 10 years with little public debate, then swept under the carpet as in the past. I am not affiliated to any faction or political party. I just want know what is happening as a private tax and rate payer and not be given ‘El Toro Poo Poo’ as answers. John R Walsh Torquay
A sad state of affairs Dear Editor, A week ago I attended a meeting with Parks Vic on site at the wharves about the supposed reconstruction later this year of the last remaining section of Fishermans Wharf Queenscliff. In reality it is the destruction of the last remaining
historical remnants of the fishing and boat building culture of the town. Does anybody else care that another great mistake is about to occur in our township? We will not be Classic Queenscliff, but another step towards a Plastic Classic Queenscliff. This makes me feel very sad. Deb Brearley Point Lonsdale
Attention all south Grovedale residents Dear Editor, Welcome to the real world of Labor politics ... there is no consultation anywhere, anytime, with anyone, except a chosen few to help their agenda. They want the road, so you’ll have the road! This is government for the government! Just look at the waste of money on things like Myki, the smart meters and Mr Madden’s takeover of planning in Geelong, not to mention the Windsor Hotel sham consultation. Michael Crutchfield’s rant against residents at Torquay over the secondary school is just another chapter of this shabby Labor government’s nonconsultation. Just look at the misery caused by windfarms: devastating impact on communities. Geothermal power: so dangerous – South Australia’s geothermal plant at Innamincka blew up and they had to bring experts from the US to cap it. They want to put 12 in a thriving community at Gherang and – surprise – residents were never consulted. Come on, Mr Batchelor, if windfarms and geothermal powerstations are so good, put them in your neighbourhood. Come on, Mr Batchelor, lead by example. Come on Mr Premier, I expect to see them on your own farm at Bendigo. Come on, Mr Brumby, lead by example. Residents of south Grovedale, do what the Labor Party’s hero (no idea why) Gough Whitlam said: “maintain the rage” and vote this arrogant, nonconsulting government out of office. Remember, it’s government of the people, by the people, FOR the people! Marlene Hart Gherang
Records are meant to be broken
Trent Ludlow and Marius Tekin have been kept busy in recent months with some outstanding results.
surfcoasttimes.com.au
PROPERTY prices on the Bellarine and along the Surf Coast continue to produce strong results – and one town that is proving a hot spot is Anglesea. Defying the notion that property sales ease during winter, Hayden Real Estate Anglesea agents Marius Tekin and Trent Ludlow have produced two sales above the $2million mark in the town. “We have had the most successful June for five years, property listings are at a premium with buyers seeking our advice to ensure they secure a home in time for the September and Christmas school holidays,” Tekin said. “There is no doubt the Geelong Ring Road and Anglesea Road upgrades are fueling the increase in property demand with buyers wanting to acquire permanent and holiday homes in Anglesea. “Anglesea is arguably becoming the Surf Coast’s hot spot.”

Temporary home for health centre THE CITY of Greater Geelong has approved the temporary relocation of the Grovedale Maternal and Child Health Centre. CoGG councillor, Andy Richards, who represents Buckley Ward and holds the portfolio for infrastructure, said the temporary relocation would take place as soon as conversion of the Occasional Care site adjoining Leisurelink in Reynolds Road, Belmont, is complete. Richards said that as a result of recent concerns regarding the safety of staff and families, council had accepted recommendations to close the East Belmont MCH Centre and investigate options for the future of the Grovedale Centre. He said the Grovedale MCH was more than 30 years old, located at the end of a cul-de-sac, at the back of the local supermarket and across the road from a local primary school. Richards said safety concerns had been expressed
because of the isolation of the site, and because of large vehicles servicing the adjoining supermarket, blocking access to Grovedale MCH and posing a potential risk to families and young children. “During school holidays the isolation factor of this MCH is even more of a concern,� Richards said. Councillor Kylie Fisher, who holds the portfolio for Community Development, said Council’s Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service operates from 22 sites across the municipality. “During the 2008-2009 financial year almost 9,000 infants and children accessed the service and approximately 29,000 face-to-face consultations were conducted,� she said. “The MCH consultations are effectively the entry point to a whole range of family services provided by council.�
Fisher said that as the result of new research, MCH practices had been revised and modified to respond to the needs of families in the 21st Century. “Revised Maternal and Child Health Programme standards were released by the State Government in October 2009, and include a number of criteria dealing with the environment from which the service is delivered,� she said. “While the majority of MCH centre staff feel safe at work, a number of staff nurses have indicated that at some times during the working day – particularly in the mornings and the evenings – they can feel apprehensive if they are on their own.� Fisher said a range of risk minimisation strategies were consistently implemented by staff, including security measures such as the use of surveillance equipment in visiting areas. “Investigations are ongoing into additional ways of ensuring safety at these centres, she said.
Record funding for Barwon Health BARWON Health’s funding has increased by 151.5 per cent since the State Government came into office, Health Minister Daniel Andrews announced last week. During a visit to Geelong Hospital, Andrews said the funding boost was part of the government’s record investment in health services throughout the state – a 153 per cent increase in the acute health budget since 1999-00. Barwon Health’s funding is up by $22.5million,
or 8.5 per cent, on last year. Andrews said this year’s funding of $287.5million was $114.3million more than what Barwon Health was given in 1999. “The government is committed to delivering quality health services for all Victorians and that’s why we are announcing a significant increase in funding to Barwon Health,� Andrews said. “Record funding means more patients in the Barwon and South West region receive care more quickly, whether it’s emergency

procedures, elective surgery or other vital health services.� Andrews said Victoria’s hospitals would receive a combined $6.4billion in recurrent acute funding – up by $443million on the previous year. “The funding boost will enable hospitals across Victoria to treat 9,000 elective surgery patients more quickly, 50,000 extra emergency patients and 32,000 more outpatient appointments,� he said.

A call to arms TIME is running out for local sporting clubs to join the 374 Victorian clubs already registered for Cancer Council Victoria’s Call To Arms to help tackle cancer in men. Cancer Council Victoria spokesperson, Irene Manitta, said compared to women, Australian men are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and are more likely to die from the disease. With these figures in mind, Cancer Council Victoria is urging all sporting teams and clubs to register and get behind the event. Call To Arms is a community-sporting event, which asks players of all ages and all codes to register and get behind the cause by wearing a yellow armband during any match throughout July and August. “The statistics are scary – we all know someone who has been affected by cancer – but there are things we can do to change them,� Manitta said. “By getting your team involved by wearing a yellow armband and raising funds, we can help save men’s lives.� Cancer Council is aiming to recruit 2,500 clubs nationwide and has set a fundraising target of $1million this year. All money raised will fund Cancer Council’s important cancer research, prevention and support programmes for men facing cancer. Professional sporting clubs endorsing Call To Arms this year include Essendon, Adelaide Crows, Parramatta, Gold Coast, Brisbane Broncos, Wests Tigers, and Adelaide United Football Club; and all will wear yellow armbands in a Call To Arms match. For more information or to register your club, visit www.calltoarms.com.au and fundraise to help tackle cancer in men.

Local mental health boost EXTRA help and support for an additional 160 people a year living with a mental illness in and around the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Geelong regions will be delivered thanks to a $4million State Government expansion of mental health facilities. Minister for Mental Health and Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, last week inspected the progress of a development under way as part of an overall $27million package of improvement work at Barwon Health. “We understand Victorians are concerned about the health and wellbeing of their loved ones, that is why we are providing the right care when and where it is needed,� Neville said. “This development will improve Barwon Health’s ability to respond to emergency admissions and deliver even better results for people who need acute mental health inpatient treatment. “It will create six new acute adult beds, two new aged acute beds and include the development of an area for mental health triage. “Improvement works on existing high dependency and administration areas to accommodate the new beds are also being carried out.� Neville said this development was part of a package of investments aimed at improving the mental health support and treatment for people living throughout the state. “We know that one in five Victorians suffer from a mental illness during their lifetime,� she said.
“This is the latest in a range of new mental health initiatives aimed at improving mental health services and outcomes for people in and around the Geelong region. “In the 2010-11 State Budget we allocated $4.9million to establish two Youth Early Intervention teams in two regional areas of Victoria, with one to be based in Geelong. “We know that early intervention is vital to ensuring that mental health issues in young Victorians do not develop into life-long problems, and this initiative will ensure that young people in Geelong have the best possible support. “The 2010-11 Budget also included an additional $360,000 for intensive clinical and support packages for people who otherwise may require admission to a Secure Extended Care Unit. “A further $138,000 has also been provided for a forensic mental health clinical specialist to assist other mental health workers to identify, assess and develop appropriate management plans for people with high risk/challenging behaviours.� The State Government is also investing $365,000 to improve services to young people, including the Dual Diagnosis Homelessness Service in Barwon; has increased specialist mental health residential beds for the aged at the McKellar Centre from 30 to 45 beds; and has established a Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) service providing 10 places – including six beds at Barwon Health’s Community Rehabilitation Facility.

CANCER Council Victoria is hoping three Surf Coast residents will use their time to fight cancer and register to volunteer at a local stall planned for Daffodil Day next month. Cancer Council spokesperson, Bree Attwood, said some 350 volunteer stalls will operate across Victoria on Friday, August 27, for the organisation’s signature event, which aims to raise $9million nationally this year. “If you think the one in two who gets cancer is one too many, then please volunteer for Daffodil Day,� Attwood said. “Raising funds is vital if we are to change the statistics.�

Fresh start for Barwon Heads THE STRONG community-base and beautiful environment are just two of the many aspects of Barwon Heads Primary School appreciated by its new principal. Darren Roskosch commenced his role as principal last term, after moving from Echuca Primary School, where he had worked his way up from class teacher to principal over 17 years. He said the school community considered the support it provided the children as ‘normal’ but it was actually quite unique and not so prevalent at many other schools. “I’m so happy to be here; the children are a
dream and there is a lot of family participation in school projects,” he said. “You have half the town come to the weekly assembly and that doesn’t happen at a lot of schools.” Darren’s wife, Kylie, son, Connor, who is in Year 6, and daughter, Holly, who is in Year 8, will move from Echuca at the end of the school year. He explained the family had purchased a new family home in Torquay and were looking forward to relocating, but it was important his children completed the year at their current schools.
Environment centre opening BY SIMONE MCNAUGHT QUEENSCLIFF Primary School will celebrate the official opening of its Environmental Learning Centre on Friday. Construction of the new centre has been funded through the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution programme, and the opening will be attended by Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, Queenscliffe mayor, Bob Merriman, guests and school representatives. School principal, Peter Martella, said the new Environmental Learning Centre would allow the school community to access a terrific facility which has
a focus on learning about our local environment. “The centre will be a space for students and teachers to use as they study our local habitat, and with a school positioned as perfectly as this, what a great way to learn,” Martella said. “The school has always had a focus on the environment and has dreamed of having a resource that students, teachers and the wider community can use, and this has now become a reality through the Australian Government and the Building the Education Revolution project.” The official opening will be held at 2pm on Friday, July 23 and the local community is invited to attend and see the centre first hand.

Rip Curl goes SURFWEAR giant Rip Curl last week launched its new Rip Curl Planet website, helping to showcase and outline the company’s many environmental priorities – past, present and future. Rip Curl prides itself on being one of the world’s most environmentally-conscious companies, stamping ‘respect for the environment’ as a key value ever since Brian Singer and Doug Warbrick founded the brand in Torquay in 1969. “We’re really excited about unveiling this website – it’s been a long time coming,” said global marketing and advertising chairman, Neil Ridgway. “Rip Curl has always placed a lot of importance on environmental sustainability and it’s great that we now have a medium to share our efforts and projects with crew around the world, and this website will be another important tool.” With the creation of the Rip Curl Planet Foundation in 2008, the team had the opportunity to increase Rip Curl’s support of several growing environmental projects and further focus efforts on new target initiatives. “We are very proud of what Rip Curl has done in the past, but there is still much to do to keep the work going,” said international chief executive officer,
online
Olivier Cantet. “We created the Rip Curl Planet Foundation to better focus our efforts and commitments around the world. “We have a strong determination to be environmentally responsible across everything we do, so our efforts are many and diverse. “We will forever focus on the environments we know best – the surf and the mountains – and be environmentally-conscious with our product design and manufacturing wherever we can.” ‘Save Our Surf’ and ‘We Surf, We Care’ are two of the company’s principle environmental call-outs, hitting home across the Rip Curl world. The company supports several reef protection and water quality projects, working with organisations such as WWF and The Surfrider Foundation to manage the problems. The Rip Curl Planet Foundation also drives a host of mainstream initiatives, such as energy consumption reduction, material recycling and waste reduction. These initiatives are addressed through a variety of ways, including Rip Curl Pro events, beach clean up days, product design and product recycling.

New campaign to advertise our region’s ‘perfect short break’ GEELONG Otway Tourism’s latest strategic marketing campaign on behalf of the industry will encourage visitors from Melbourne and beyond to take a short break in Geelong, the Bellarine, the Surf Coast and Otways regions. “We are the perfect destination for a short break, so ‘Short Breaks’ is the theme we are working with this year,” said GOT executive director, Roger Grant. “We are around an hour’s drive from Melbourne, which is great for people from the city who are looking to get away for a break. The focus of our
campaign is on the destinations and experiences on offer, not discounting and cheap prices.” Grant said in 2010, GOT had introduced a number of initiatives to support the strategic marketing campaign that is heavily subsidised by his organisation and also the State Government. “We do put a lot of resources into this campaign,” Grant said. “This year we really want to add value for the benefit of our members. “Our integrated campaign will feature print and
online advertising, email blasts and social media including Facebook and Twitter. “For those members who sign on with us as partners, there will be promotional opportunities available year round, catered to their special requirements. “GOT has appointed a PR agency, the awardwinning Geelong-based GSDM, to drive editorial coverage in the media. “In response to feedback from our members in Geelong and The Bellarine, we will be developing
theme months. “These include ‘Play Around on The Bellarine’ to promote our wonderful golfing facilities, and ‘Free Wheeling’ to leverage off the UCI World Road Championships to showcase the region as a great cycling destination.” General themes this year include food and wine, golf, nature and water based activities. “When you look at those themes and the associated packages, you can see they are very strong reasons to visit our region,” Grant said.

Market hot despite cold weather For sale by owner THE RECENT rise in the number of websites offering ‘For Sale by Owner’ (FSBO) services raises important questions for state property professionals and consumers. A very small number of owners have always chosen to try to sell their property themselves, however, the trend has become more obvious because of the internet. The idea of selling your home yourself has always represented a false economy and still does – regardless of the apparent ease of the internet. In the first place, it simply may not be cheaper; many of the websites are simply fronts for a range of service providers seeking to sell a range of services that are often included in the professional fees charged by estate agents. Secondly, by not utilising the professional services of agents, consumers can be left exposed. They are less likely to get the best sale price and face the likelihood of having to spend countless hours doing the work normally done by an REIV Member. It may seem cheaper but will it really be cheaper when you take into account the cost of your time and a lower sale price? Together the REIV and www. RealestateVIEW.com.au provide access to all members with the fastest growing property portal in Australia (Nielsen Netrating, October 2008), the latest property sales results and information, and the tools agents need to win more listings. That’s why we won’t sell www. RealestateVIEW.com.au subscriptions to anyone who doesn’t have an estate agent’s licence or operate a licensed estate agency.

Located at 3 Wattle Court, Jan Juc, the fourbedroom, two-bathroom house will go to auction on Saturday, August 7. The house, which has been used as a holiday home for Olarenshaw and occasionally as a holiday let, is estimated to fetch between $580,000 and $600,000.
The house has been described as a “great family home” and following some recent outstanding results along the Surf Coast, interest in the property is expected to be high. For more information, phone the team at Hocking Stuart Torquay on 5261 8888 or visit www. hockingstuart.com.au

THE WINTRY weather hasn’t cooled down the local property market, with a huge crowd of more than 80 people attending the auction at 40 Beach Road in Torquay recently. The fully renovated 1940s period home drew a fierce bidding was between seven bidders before the property eventually sold through Hayden Real Estate for $725,000 – $125,000 over the reserve price. “It was an exceptionally strong result that exceeded everyone’s expectations,” said Patrick Hayden from Hayden Real Estate. “It’s a slightly unusual property for Torquay, being a renovated period home. These properties are very sought after today.” The Beach Road sale continued a busy winter season of sales for local estate agents.

MARKET UPDATE
THE COMING MONTHS
PROPERTY REPORTS
We can again report excellent sales volumes & results from your dedicated sales team. A record land sale in Jan Juc & top results in home sales have been achieved over the cooler months. There has also been several exceptional sales in the rural area in and around Bellbrae / Bells Beach. The market remains buoyant across all sectors & we are seeing time on the market decreasing whilst prices across the board continue to escalate.
Stock levels have remained constant for the last few months after a dramatic drop in availabilities as we moved out of the effects of the GFC late 2009. Despite the cooler weather enquiry is strong though naturally numbers around town are down. As buyer confidence continues to improve we see further decreases in stock levels which can only impact positively on prices.
If you are considering selling we would be pleased to view your property at a time convenient to yourselves and provide a current market appraisal and report. Our report will include recent sales, availabilities, market conditions and options for marketing and selling programs.

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 About three months later the work was entrusted to a third contractor, who obtained from a Geelong Shipping company, a quantity of heavier gear, this gear proved equal to the strain, and the house was successfully hauled up the cliff and placed into position in readiness for the builders. When the owner arrived to arrange for the erection of the second storey, the only complaint he had to make was that the building had been placed in the wrong person’s land, and another team of horses had to be engaged to move it to the adjoining block.

YOUR GUIDE TO BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION ON THE SURF COAST & BELLARINE
Your home is your world
GJ GARDNER Homes Geelong is pleased to announce the opening of its newest Display Home, the Catania 234 – a new plan to the GJ Gardner Homes Metro range. The Catania has been designed with flexibility in mind. Areas within the home have been apportioned to enable sections of the home to be easily mirrored and in some respects, switched, so that the home can be adaptable to a wide variety of living styles while addressing the issues of orientation towards the sun. Such changes are possible without modifying the floor area or roofline and thus resulting in no change to the cost of the home. In addition, this thought to design and flexibility means the floor plan can be readily adapted to sloping blocks with
minimal disruption to the layout and design, while adding floor area by closing in the alfresco area, or extending the home with an upper storey which can all be readily accomplished. The Catania is truly an innovative design with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, study nook, outdoor area, lounge, laundry, open kitchen, meals and family room and double garage. Space has been utilised in an extremely versatile and practical way. All bedrooms are totally private and separate and all living areas are social and open plan – yet if you look at the floorplan closely, you will see the advantages of entertaining guests anytime. Guests are able to move with ease from the front entrance, to the lounge and through to the alfresco and kitchen
area, without entering the main living area of the home. Perfect for keeping what appears to be an open design totally separate. Make this design your own! GJ Gardner Homes allows you to customise this plan; add a fourth or fifth bedroom, powder room near the alfresco area, or turn the lounge in to a theatre room! Your home is your world… The display home is situated at 13 Springwater Drive, Lara (part of the Grand Lakes Estate). The Catania starts at $198,200 (as displayed is $297,150) and is open for viewing from 12pm-5pm, Saturday through to Wednesday. For more information, phone 5221 1447 or visit the design centre at 228 Moorabool Street, Geelong between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday or visit www.gjgardner.com.au

Sloping site solutions
HAMLAN Homes has forged a name as specialists when it comes to designs for sloping blocks. One of the recent innovative designs that Hamlan Homes has created to work with sloping and elevated blocks minimises site costs while maximising views. The Arlington 192 LS is now on display in the Arlington Rise Estate at Portarlington, and is a sensational exhibition of the views Hamlan’s split-level designs are capable of achieving. The intelligent design splits the home with convenient, short flights of stairs connecting the three levels. Situated on the middle floor is the spacious master featuring full ensuite and walk-through robe, and adjacent to this is the internal access to the double garage. The ground floor features a further two bedrooms, both with BIRs, central bathroom and laundry, as
well as the rumpus room – a great space for the kids. This leads out to a gorgeous entertaining area, with cover provided by the deck above. The first floor comprises a light, bright openplan living and dining area, leading out through a wall of windows to the timber deck. The gourmet kitchen features stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, including a 900mm freestanding oven among many other features. The display – built from brick and matrix cladding with a Colorbond roof – the home also features Hamlan’s ‘Platinum Package’ designer specification upgrade which, for a fraction of the price, includes plenty of added extras. To view the Arlington 192 LS, visit 6 The Rise, Arlington Rise Estate, Portarlington. The display is open weekends from 1pm-5pm. For more information, phone Hamlan Homes on 5222 5555.
A home for all seasons We all love discussing the weather but living with changes in climate is a different matter. I have been building homes in the Geelong region for 20 years and there has never been a more important time for building sustainable homes which respond to our changing seasons. At Derbyshire we specialise in creating beautiful contemporary homes that we design and build to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. This is crucial as population growth demands more from the Earth’s natural resources and inflation pushes up the cost of our household bills. The building journey at Derbyshire always begins with listening to individual clients about how they want to live and what is important to them. Working together to design and build a new home ideally suited to their land, location and lifestyle. Our clients are talked through sustainable design options such as double-glazed windows, wide eaves, shade battens, insulation, thermal mass, lighting and heating/cooling. The choice is theirs but the end result is always a more energy efficient home with a lighter carbon footprint. We hand over the keys knowing our clients will live in a quality built Derbyshire home that delivers a better way of living and has a greater resale value in a world where we are becoming increasingly aware of our environmental responsibilities. If this sounds like the end result you are looking for please give us a call on 5221 8409 or visit our award-winning Platinum Series One display home in Highton to experience the many benefits of a Derbyshire home.

Maher to star at Deans Marsh
MELBOURNE singer-songwriter Leticia Maher will bring her immense talents to the Martian’s Café at Deans Marsh this weekend. Maher, who burst into the music spotlight with the launch of her acclaimed album, Fallen Angels, almost 12 months ago, will play an intimate gig at the popular Deans Marsh location this Sunday from 2pm. Backed by Greg Williams, the duo will play a three-hour show at the laidback location. It’s been a whirlwind few months for Maher, since the launch of the album at Melbourne’s renowned Northcote Social Club in August last year. Since then, the album has been receiving strong community radio airplay around the country. The momentum continued this year with an appearance at the St Kilda Festival, a successful South Australian tour capped with a sold-out show at the Adelaide Fringe and recently supporting the Black Sorrows in Geelong. The Deans Marsh gig is part of her touring to promote her album through Victoria and South Australia – with plans to tackle New South Wales and Queensland in the pipeline. Fallen Angels was produced by Aria Award winner Craig Pilkington (Killjoys, The Blackeyed Susans, Mick Thomas, The Lucksmiths), and recorded at Audrey Studios with some of Melbourne’s most talented musicians. The album lifts the veil on an award-winning songwriter whose alternative rock songs touch on jazz, blues and country.
Above all, Marsh’s crystal-clear, haunting voice and her atmospheric, emotive guitar playing draw you in. An instrument capable of broad swathes of expression, torchy soul, playful country, sophisticated pop jazz, vampy blues to smoky cabaret, Marsh’s voice has won her many Victorian and national country music awards. Her singing brings to mind the clarity of Eva Cassidy, the intimacy of Bic Runga, cool grooves of Diana Krall and the compassion of Sarah McLachlan. The first single from the album, Behind Your Smile, was released in April last year. It is about trusting, finding and not losing the best in yourself. In the soul ballad Walk Away, the character pleads with her lover to let go; Hello Perfect Day describes gratitude for a peaceful perfect moment over lazy jazz infused reggae. The album then moves to a lighter and more playful mood – with the sassy Come On Boy and Popcorn providing double meanings of food and love. For the album’s grand finale, Fallen Angels is a heartfelt appeal to humanity concerned with how people treat the environment and one another. Tickets for the gig are priced at $10 – with $2 from every ticket sold going to LorneCare. For more information on the gig, phone the Martian’s Café on 5236 3350.

Go green this Friday Tuesday 20 July 2010
THE GREEN Room CafÊ in Torquay will this week host a wine evening, featuring some of the best vino on offer from Bellarine Peninsula-based Oakdene winery. The evening – to be held this Friday from 6.30pm – will feature a fivecourse meal which will be accompanied by specially selected wines from Oakdene. The wine night is the first one being held by The Green Room CafÊ, and due to catering requirements bookings are essential – and with a limited number of placings – you had better be quick. To complement the five-course banquet, a representative from Oakdene will be on hand to speak about the wines to be served with each course. Tickets – which include a five-course meal accompanied by wines, followed by coffee and petit fours – are $80 and as seats are limited, moving quickly to book a ticket is advised. For more information or to reserve a place for the evening, phone The Green Room CafÊ, located in Bell Street, Torquay, on 5261 9575.

Top pianists come to town THE GEELONG Chamber Music Society will present an evening with two outstanding Russian pianists next week. Now in its second year, the Geelong Chambers Music Society was formed with the primary aim of bringing performers of national and international standing to the region. The performance of Igor Machlak and Olga Kharitonova will be held at McAuley Hall, Sacred Heart College, Aphrasia Street, Newtown on Friday, July 30 from 7.30pm. It will be the third concert in the society’s 2010 Subscription Series, and it promises to be a highlight – especially for those who love piano music or who have piano students in the family. The performance will also be the first time the society will feature two grand pianos on stage at the one time. Machlak and Kharitonova will perform works by Schumann, Brahms and Stravinsky. The pair graduated from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and have won many prizes during their successful international careers. Tickets may be purchased from the society secretary on 5243 6931 or from Gee long Performing Arts Centre on 5225 1200 or by visiting www.gpac.org.au Ticket prices are $35 (adult, including seniors), $30 (concession card holders) and $12 (full-time students).

A warming winter Shed BY LAURA DUKE THERE is plenty to keep everybody entertained at The Potato Shed this month. While it may be cold and wet outside, Drysdale’s premier entertainment venue will keep all ages happy with a host of events – from feasts to fundraisers. Crash Course Productions brings a five band lineup to the Shed this Friday for an all-ages gig, with Perfect Fit the headline act. Venue co-ordinator, Rob McLeod, described their music as ‘pop punk’ and is confident that “a great time will be had by all”. The fully supervised, all-ages event will run from 6pm-10pm, and entry is $10 with tickets available at the door. The Spud Club open mic nights happen on the last Friday of every month, and there is even more of a reason to be a part of it next week as all funds are going to Blaise White and Zac Dodds. The two local boys are undertaking the ‘Alex Dodds Walk 4-a-Cure’ – a 400-kilometre trek from Drysdale to Tocumwal to raise money for cancer research in memory of their late grandfather. Doors open at 6.30pm, and entry is $5. MacLeod said the event is open to all ages and talents, and everyone is welcome. “Anyone can be a part of the night,” he said. “We usually encourage the younger people, the juniors and teenagers, from around 6pm to 8.30, and
then open ages after that.” And MacLeod said there was always a variety of acts on offer. “We have had poetry, rap, comedy, play recitals, singing,” he said. Contemporary dance group, Collision Dance, will be at the Shed from August 5 to 7, performing The Dress and creating different ‘atmospheric scenes’, such as setting up a beach. “It’s really innovative work,” said MacLeod. You can see Collision Dance at 8pm on Thursday, August 5 and Friday, August 6, and at 2pm on Saturday, August 7. Also on August 7 is an all-ages acoustic event, described by MacLeod as a more acoustic, family gig, featuring local Ocean Grove bands such as The Rustys, The House, and Sambrose Automobile, to name a few. And there is also plenty for the younger generation, from primary school kids to tiny tots. Getting Active is a local group which runs activities for children, and they hold dance classes every Wednesday for pre-school and primary school children. Other regular classes include ballet, Zumba, tiny tots dance, drama classes, play readings and much more. The Potato Shed is located at 41 Peninsula Drive, Drysdale.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY
CORKS CREW CELLARS
Delicious to a ‘T’… TALTARNI has been around now since 1969, it being one of the pioneering wineries to produce exciting red, white and sparkling wines in the rich soils of the Pyrenees region of Victoria. The philosophies at Taltarni have long been allied with French winemaking traditions by focusing on balance, and especially elegance and finesse – distinctly European attributes – this French connection doesn’t stop there either as Taltarni has long been using French winemakers to bring forth this European slant to its wines. Across its portfolio, Taltarni works hard to find distinctive regional qualities when sourcing fruit from areas such as Tasmania (for it’s wonderful ‘Clover Hill’ sparkling), that is so at home in the production of sparkling wines, and also the Heathcote region that is renowned for quality red wine. This attention to detail pays dividends when you see the end result in the wines. Recently, a new batch of wines was finally released with much anticipation shown by your humble scribe as I had tasted these wines nearly three months ago (!), and I can only say that they are well worth the wait. Read on…
Taltarni ‘T Series’ Victoria Shiraz 2007 ($17)
Vibrant, medium to full bodied red with up front blackberry flavour, an edge of plummy, brambly fruit, and a fine hint of white pepper and regional eucalypt. The fruit is 45% Pyrenees and 55% Heathcote with 5% of that being Viognier blended in to add texture and complexity. This is delicious ‘drink now’ Shiraz made to suit any occasion and most foods, and is priced to appeal. Terrific winter drinking!
Taltarni Heathcote Victoria ‘Single Vineyard’ Shiraz 2006 ($35)
Rich, dark red, 500 million year old Cambrian soil (as opposed to Coonawarra’s ‘Terra Rossa’ soil being only around 300 million years old!), counts for a lot in this regional Shiraz. Some Heathcote reds fall for the trap of being all big and blustery, yet what we really want to see is refinement, elegance and finesse – all the attributes that Taltarni aspires to with their wines, and yes this is certainly up there. It’s a potent, dark berry fruit compote woven through with threads of pepper and spice that’s seen 16 months in American oak yet doesn’t necessarily flaunt it. A ripper!.
Taltarni Pyrenees Victoria Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 ($35)
Fine grained tannins, seamless structure, complexity and balance, integrated French oak, rich blackcurrant/cassis flavours with length to burn, all goes to show that this is a class act indeed. Regional mint undertones are thankfully kept well restrained and once again the French oak component is only in a supporting role. Whilst this is great drinking now, it will only grow in stature and complexity over the next 10 years – if you can wait that is!

On Friday, July 30, the hall will come alive with the sound of music – in the shape of the monthly gathering of the Singing for Fun group. This night out is perfect for those who love to sing; whether you hum as you do the housework, whistle while you work or let your lungs loose in the shower. The evening’s guest leader this month is the vibrant Sarah Carroll, who will inspire and transport you with music drawn from her diverse experiences
– ranging from Sweet melodic harmonies, to Tamworth-style country twang to songs to make you swing and soar with the glories of Gospel. Singing for Fun, a community singing group run by local and enthusiastic leaders, promotes the chance to ‘Sing like nobody’s listening’, and the philosophy that we all can sing when given the opportunity. This vibrant and vocal group gather – not to perform or rehearse – but just to sing for the enjoyment of singing as a group. Carroll is well known throughout Australia as
part of GIT, The Pirates of Beer and most recently, The Junes, regarded as one of the finest femalefronted bands in the land. She is an accomplished musician, singer and songwriter in her own right and is currently roadtesting songs for her third solo album. Carroll has been director of The Tides Of Welcome Soul and Gospel Choir, based in Queenscliff, for the last six years. During this time, the choir has performed at every Queenscliff Music Festival, as well as other venues in Melbourne and Greater Geelong, and recorded two albums.
Carroll’s character, humour and passion for music shine through in every song and her infectious personality and love for music shines through. Singing for Fun meets the last Friday of each month at Bellbrae Hall, School Road, Bellbrae, from 6pm-8pm. Cost is just $10/$7 concession, including a warming winter meal of hot homemade soup, crusty bread, fresh fruit and tea and coffee. There is no need to book, just turn up, and for more information, phone Michele on 5261 4807.
Sweet sounds at the blues club
GEELONG’S own ‘sweet and swampy’ blues king, Stringybark McDowell, will bring his one-man band to the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club this Sunday. McDowell plays various instruments, including acoustic and electric guitars, his famous diddley bow, and a foot drum kit consisting of a tom modified into a kick drum and a foot shaped rattle called ‘lefty’. Together with raw gritty vocals, he has been
playing his own special brand of blues infused with a wicked sense of humour, for more than 20 years. An original member of the country blues band Muddy Puddles, McDowell has toured Australia for years playing at gigs and festivals around the country, and he has also toured extensively in the UK, including playing at the Great British R&B Festival. He is a regular performer on the famous Blues
Train at Queenscliffe and recently performed at the Australian Blues Festival in Goulburn and the Echuca Winter Blues Festival. McDowell – aka Kenny Terrington – has released several albums, including Simple Songs of Every Day Stuff ‘n’ That and Thump Rattle Plunk which are both great additions to any music collection. As always, those attending are invited to bring
along their instruments as the jamming starts at 3pm, with the famous BBQ at 6pm, followed by McDowell playing through until 9pm. The club is located at the Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers Street, Geelong (enter from rear, off Smyth Place, via Little Ryrie Street). Entry is just $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers. For more information, phone 0434 126 644.

TORQUAY HOTEL

Tuesday 20 July 2010
TORQUAY Hotel will up the ante – literally – when it introduces poker to its range of events. Every Wednesday night the hotel will host APL poker which, for just an $11 buy in, provides players with the opportunity to take home the first prize of $300. The poker nights will be held from 6.30pm for registration with a 7.30pm start in the public bar, and are open to anyone over the age of 18 years. Places at the poker tables are limited, so be sure to express your interest early. And if skateboards are more your style, the hotel also has a Globe ‘Cruiser Board’ Longboard up for grabs. Valued at more than $230, the longboard is on offer to anyone who becomes a fan on the hotel’s Facebook page – with the winner’s name to be drawn on Friday, July 30. Apart from being able to win the skateboard, the Facebook page also allows you to keep up to date with what’s happening at the venue – from upcoming bands to the latest bistro offers. For more information, phone the Torquay Hotel on 5261 2001.
Perfect concert – perfect setting THE HISTORIC St Paul’s Church in Geelong will provide the perfect setting for a concert this weekend from international stars Julien Dupont and Seiko Yagi. The church, which dates back to the 1860s, will host the talents of Dupont on the violin and Yagi on the pianoforte as they plays works by Mozart, Faure, Brahms and Messiaen. Both musicians have rich histories, with Frenchman Dupont learning the violin at the age of seven and Yagi, from Japan, first playing the piano at the age of three. Sunday’s performance – to be held at 3pm – will act as a fundraiser for the Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) emergency relief fund. After growing up in his hometown of Grenoble, Dupont travelled to various countries throughout Europe to further his skills, including stints in Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2000 he obtained a highly acclaimed Premier Prix in violin at the Royal Conservatorium of Brussels, before spending the following four years in Amsterdam, studying with Keiko Wataya and graduating with
a Bachelor degree at the Amsterdam Conservatorium of Music in 2004. Since starting out on the piano as a toddler, Yagi has accumulated a number of accolades and honours throughout her career. Since 2005, Yagi has been residing in Japan, and her Australian appearance has been long anticipated. Tickets are $25 adult/seniors; $15 student/conc; and $55 family. For bookings email info@violinopedia.com or phone John Duncan on 5223 3003.

However, if they want to buy at trade prices and self install the pool as a DIY project, BYO Pools will accommodate them and also offer a free back-up service to give instructions regards the installation. BYO Pools will also arrange solar heating and pool equipment at discount trade prices direct to the public.

JULY 20 - JULY 26 2010 Saturn (your ruling planet) cruises into your career zone on Thursday – for the first time in 27 years. This will boost your ambitions and increase your workaholic tendencies. Between now and October 2012 is the time to display your talents, and professional accolades are likely to come your way. No one said it was going to be easy though!
You’re keen to take the initiative and show others how to do things. Rambunctious Rams can be very bossy but remember that a true leader guides by example. Saturn visits your partnership zone for the next 27 months, so your ability to commit yourself to a serious relationship will be put to the test. Singles – it’s time to find lasting love.
Are you obsessed with someone? Can’t get them out of your head? Expect fanatical fantasies and over-the-top obsessions to increase this week, as the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto all fuel your private passions. For less compulsive Crabs, avoid getting drawn into power plays at work, as no one is likely to win. Friday favours fun and freedom.
Serious Saturn transits into your sign on Thursday, where it stays until October 2012. So it’s time to show the world your responsible, disciplined, hard-working side (it’s there, somewhere). You can’t get away with being a Libran lightweight anymore! Be inspired by Ernest Hemingway (born on July 21) “Courage is grace under pressure”.
Calling all Taurean couch potatoes! With Saturn moving into your wellbeing zone, you need to take a more disciplined approach to your health and fitness. Give fried foods and cream buns the flick and replace then with fresh produce and lots of physical activities in the great outdoors. And are you up-to-date with all your medical checks?
Money matters are on your mind as you weigh up the pros and cons of spending verses saving. Lions appreciate the finer things in life (you are a happy hedonist) but, in the current economic conditions, you’ll have to reign in your love of luxury and learn to live on less. On Friday, you’re in the mood for adventure and an adrenaline rush.
Revise and refine your goals for the future, as Saturn prepares to leave your hopes and wishes zone. Pluto squares up with Jupiter on Sunday, so you’ll feel even more intense and driven than usual. Just make sure you don’t trample over others on your climb to the top! Communication and compromise are the keys to lasting Scorpio success.
Are you bored to bits with your regular routine? Wednesday or Friday are the best days to step out of the daily grind and do something unpredictable or unusual. You don’t need to travel to far away places for excitement and adventure. There’s plenty of fun, friendship and good fortune to be found within the boundaries of your local community.
Gung-ho Geminis – you’re running around madly multi-tasking all over the place (and talking a lot) but are you actually achieving anything? As birthday great Ernest Hemingway observed “Never confuse movement with action.” It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work – with a spring in your step and a smile on your dial.
Are your finances in a monumental mess? The next two years is the time to develop strong new money muscles, as penny-pinching Saturn shakes up your $$$ zone. If you can’t make substantial changes yourself, then utilise the services of an experienced professional. Thrifty is the new black and (if you’re smart) you’ll be wearing it!
Sagittarians love to mix and mingle. It’s a great week to socialize with work colleagues but don’t blot your copybook by being too blunt and boisterous. You’re in the mood to overdo just about everything (especially food and drink) so pace yourself. You’ll feel extra restless on Friday but don’t fly the coop until you’ve finished all your work.
With Venus and Mars in your partnership zone, it’s the perfect time to look for a new love or reboot a tired old relationship. Pisceans are sentimental souls but avoid the temptation to be drawn back to the past. Ditch regrets and focus on the here and now. As birthday great Carlos Santana reminds us “The present is where everything begins.”

DIVISION 2 senior men’s pennant have made the semi-finals taking on East Geelong at Queens Park to decide the club to contest the final the following week. In a must win round at Ocean Grove, the team managed a 4/3 win to just hold out 13th Beach and Lorne for the right to continue on at the business end of the season: a terrific result for the team and best of luck for next week. The news is also good for div 1 who remains in div 1 next season for another tilt at the flag in 2011. Well done.

The women also played par and Geraldine Collison who obviously loves par, took the prize once again with a solid 4 up. Sunday and Stephen Janson played good golf to manage 43 points on a cold, wet day. What’s coming up This Wednesday the ladies play the ever popular event, Irish 4B. This week raising funds for the local toy library. It is an open event and we are still taking entries. Contact Joy McGregor through the club. A reminder to all those contemplating playing in the
carnival, get those entries in fast as some events are nearing capacity or already closed. Matt’s master strokes This week we have some strong advice from Portarlington professional, Matt Milne, one of the top coaches of the district. It is on the smallest part of the course where your whole round is at stake! Read on….. A problem I often see with golfers and their putting is not aligning the putter face correctly. Most putters have either an aim line or circular shape on the back, so it is imperative that that aim is along the starting line of the putt. If the putt has 3 feet of left to right break, the putter face needs to be lined 3 feet outside the left edge of the hole rather than the hole. When we stroke the putt, the putter head should travel down the line of the putt rather that to the hole. To help with this alignment, try drawing a straight line on the ball and aim this towards your target and then putt through the line

Support grows for redevelopment THE PUSH to upgrade the Spring Creek Oval clubrooms continues to gain momentum. The Torquay Football Club played host to Shadow Sport Minister, Steven Ciobo, and Liberal candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, last week. The club’s Denis Ryan took the pair for a tour of the oval and clubrooms, and showed them the plans that had been drawn up for proposed improvements to the clubrooms. “It’s great that the car parking areas have been sealed this year, but plenty more still needs to be
done,� Ryan said. “We want to upgrade the building, with decking out the front for spectators to watch games, as well as internal refurbishment and extending the clubrooms. “We have produced a plan and formed a building committee among the football, netball and cricket clubs, and we have invited councillors to become involved. “This is a multi-use facility for the community and we will continue to lobby hard to seek funding and see the project through.�

ALTHOUGH it was still quite cold this weekend, the rain held off and there were no gales, as Surf Coast teams once again took to the field. The conditions were kinder to both players and spectators. All teams battled hard, some missing key players and a mixed bag of results was the result. FFV Provisional Men: Surf Coast (3) v Epping City (1) Surf Coast Provisional 2 men scored another terrific away win against Epping City coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1, lengthening their lead at the top of the table. Surf Coast is now nine points and a big goal difference clear of third, with the top two positions gaining promotion. We now have two home games with a win in both of those putting the club a sniff away from a rare promotion double. Women: Surf Coast (0) v Geelong (7) It was a very disappointing day for the women who seemed to lack focus and the will to win this week. In their last encounter with Geelong at The Quay, they trounced them 3-0. This time, still missing some key players and having lost Tilly in defence, they struggled to stop Geelong’s strikers and their lack of speed in defence counted against them. U17 Boys: Surf Coast (10) v Surfside (2) The Surf Coast under U17s played their second coastal derby match for the season against Surfside this weekend hoping to improve on their disappointing loss to their rivals last time out. Despite some desperate defending by Surfside they could not stop a rampant Surf Coast forward line who took a 6-1 lead into halftime. The trend continued with four more goals for Surf Coast and only one goal in reply from Surfside.
U16 Girls: Surf Coast (5) v Breakwater (0) The Surf Coast Girls played another great game, defeating Breakwater 5-0. While a bit patchy at times, Surf Coast put together some memorable passages of play, with the Coasters first goal a classic. A terrific performance by Maddie Lambert who scored a hat trick, great effort by all of the defence, especially Ellie Banks who played a new role of sweeper. U14 Girls: Surf Coast Yellow (2) v Surfside (3) The Yellows had a great match and were unlucky not to draw 3-3 against Surfside after a beautiful strike from the wing by Coby in the last few minutes went just wide of the goals. Lucy was a standout in goals for the Yellows in the second half and it was mostly her great hands and courage to move forward that prevented Surfside from scoring at all. U14 Girls: Surf Coast Blue (0) v Kardinia (3) The Blues suffered the loss of seven of the starting 11 players this week due to injury and other commitments. A couple of the Legends stepped up to fill the void. However, The Blues displayed how far they have come from even earlier this season by providing a fantastic display of endeavour and skill in the first half. Alas, with the girls finally succumbing to exhaustion, Kardinia scored two soft ones in the last few minutes to make it 3-0. The Blues are very close to having a draw if not win against Kardinia. U12 Girls: Surf Coast (5) v Bell Park (0) The Legends finally found a nice day for a kick in the park. The sun was out and little breeze blowing. Great to see all the Academy kids come out in force to watch the next level up. It gives them an idea about what next year will be like. A solid 5-0 win.
