Bellarine Rail Trail is enhanced with more than 6,000 trees thanks to Landcare volunteers and Cotton On staff, who are aiming to offset its carbon emissions

BY ALISON MARTIN MORE than 6,000 trees were planted along the Bellarine Rail Trail last Friday, as the first project of a Cotton On Foundation initiative to offset carbon emissions.

Three-hundred Cotton On employees, based at Geelong head office, were joined by more than 40 Bellarine Landcare Group volunteers for the planting to reduce the company’s environmental impact.

Cotton On Foundation manager, Tim Diamond, said last week’s extensive Bellarine tree-planting venture on the popular rail trail was a great project.

“It’s all part of our new Get Your Green On

environment policy initiative to get staff focused on environmental impact,” he explained.

“The planting of 6,200 trees on the Bellarine Rail Trail is designed to offset carbon emissions for a year from our head office. We’ll be doing something different with our distrubution centre staff in the next six to eight weeks to help them reduce their environmental impact.”

A strong supporter of local charities, Cotton On has grown from one shop in Geelong in 1991 to a ‘fashion powerhouse’ with 600 stores and 4,500 employees in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the United States.

Get Your Green On is Cotton On group’s official

campaign to engage staff by providing information and empowering them to take action through environmentally-focused events and resources.

Bellarine Landcare Coastcare co-ordinator, Matt Crawley, said the significant initiative would assist with managing invasive environmental weeds and returning the heathy and grassy woodland vegetation along the Bellarine Rail Trail.

He said Bellarine Landcare co-ordinated Cotton On’s major planting day, with the support of Geelong Steam Preservation Society and City of Greater Geelong.

“This initiative will serve to protect and enhance vital habitat on the Bellarine,” Crawley said.

Bellarine Landcare Group president, Jim Mason, said the indigenous plants had been propagated by many volunteers at the Bellarine Secondary College and Landcare nursery.

“The rail reservation and trail from Drysdale to Queenscliff has been considerably enhanced for all stakeholders,” he said.

Bellarine Landcare officer, Michaela Holroyd, said the local Landcare group would host a followup planting day along the Bellarine Rail Trail on August 1 and community members can participate.

Covering the Surf Coast & Bellarine Peninsula

JUST recently, Melbourne was named Australian tourists’ capital city of choice. Surpassing Sydney, Melbourne‘s interstate visitor numbers have increased by 22 per cent over the past decade.

Melbourne now attracts more than four million visitors a year according to Tourism Australia figures.

I’m certain that the scenery, beaches and wineries of the Bellarine have played a part in boosting visitation to Melbourne, and in giving tourists to our capital city a reason to stray from the city and explore our coastal and rural areas.

We’ll be working to capitalise on these figures in enticing more interstate visitors to Melbourne to venture down the highway and take some time out on the Bellarine.

Ocean Grove Marketplace from Residential 1 to Business 1. The amendment applies only to an area of vacant land.

The amendment was sought so that Ocean Grove Marketplace, which houses a Woolworths supermarket, medical centre and a range of small shops, would be able to apply for planning permits for a building extension.

This part of Ocean Grove is one of the designated growth areas on the Bellarine Peninsula and the expansion of the shopping centre will help cater for future residents.

The proposed amendment was exhibited late last year and four submissions were received.

The only objecting submission was subsequently withdrawn after the shopping centre owner agreed to have soundproof fencing erected between the centre and residential properties.

As there were no remaining objections, the amendment was able to be adopted.

Portarlington rotunda restoration The restoration of Portarlington’s historic rotunda is progressing very well. All works are on schedule to be finished later this month.

It’s very fitting that we’ll get to reopen the fully restored rotunda almost 100 years to the day since its original opening. We have even managed to locate the speech given back in August 1910!

The next stage of the project is the Portarlington Town Square development. Tenders are currently being sought for these works, which are expected to begin in August. This development will involve streetscape works, landscaping and new lighting, terraces and street furniture. All going to plan, the works will be finished in time for the start of the busy summer holiday period.

Shed receives big boost CLIFTON Spring’s community shed has received a $35,000 State Government Grant to improve its facilities in Central Road.

Visiting the shed, Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the funding would be used to ensure more men could get involved in the activities. “Men’s Sheds like the Clifton Springs community shed provide opportunities for men to get together to talk, learn new skills and get active

in the community,� Neville said. “With this $35,000 Men’s Shed grant from the Victorian Government, the existing shed will be modified to improve accessibility and make it safer and easier for people of all ages and abilities to use. “Improvements to the plumbing, wiring and insulation will make the shed safer and more environmentally friendly. “Upgraded communications technology will

keep it connected and bring in into the 21st century. “Also, the new paving will make it easier for men with limited mobility to access the building.�

Neville said that more than 100 Men’s Sheds currently operate throughout Victoria.

Applications are currently open for grants of up to $50,000 through the Men’s Shed programme.

Catamaran found BELLARINE Police are appealing for anyone who knows anything about a lost catamaran to contact them. The stray catamaran was found drifting unattended in the Barwon River last month. To date, no-one has come forward and police believe the craft may be owned by seasonal holiday-makers who are unaware that it has come loose from its mooring. The catamaran is 14-foot long and anyone who may know more is asked to call Bellarine Police Station on 5256 2698.

BY ALISON MARTIN WHILE the Bellarine community continues to wait for the results of a user survey for the proposed Portarlington-Melbourne commuter ferry, a push to determine viability has been launched.

Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, said it was time to move forward with the project and see if the ferry could be a financially feasibility He said the town-hall style community forum he had organised last month to gauge interest in the ferry project attracted well in excess of 300 people, who all pledged their support.

Those in attendance included members of the Bellarine Ferry Group, who presented detailed information on the project, hundreds of residents from across the Bellarine and a strong liberal contingent, including Opposition Minister for Transport, Terry Mulder, and Opposition Minister for Ports, Denis Napthine. “Terry (Mulder) described the attendance – on a cold night in a small town – as extraordinary; the biggest crowd he had ever seen at a regional community meeting,� Reiter said. “I’ve asked and demanded for the results of the survey to be released and 12 months after it was funded by the State Government, there’s still no response. “We know it has community support. “We didn’t spend more than $50,000 to gauge support, call it old fashioned but we hired a hall and asked people to tell us their views. “So now let’s move on and look at viability and whether it can be funded as part of the public transport network and work, financially.�

Portarlington Community Bank manager, Ian Faulkner, is encouraging local groups to consider projects that could be eligible for community grants.

Grants up for grabs IF YOUR group or club has a proposed project that would benefit North Bellarine communities, the Bendigo Community Bank’s grants programme could provide valuable financial support.

Portarlington Community Bank manager, Ian Faulkner, said the community grants programme had injected more than $400,000 back into the community over the past 10 years. “Applications for the next round of grants will open at the beginning of August so it’s a good time to start thinking about projects that could be

eligible for funding,� he said. “We will hold a grants information night on August 10, starting at 7.30pm at the Portarlington Guide Hall. “Groups that have benefitted from the programme in past years include the local Lions Club, Portarlington Bowls Clubs, Portarlington Girl Guides and football club facilities.�

Incentives for Bellarine doctors FAMILIES across the Bellarine Peninsula are expected to benefit from a number of new Federal Government initiatives which were rolled out last Thursday to attract doctors to the community and keep them here.

Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said after a lot of discussions with Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, recognition had been given to the region about the community’s needs to attract and keep more doctors.

“There are a number of local towns on the Bellarine Peninsula that will benefit from this announcement,” he said.

Clifton Springs will all receive $12,000 for doctor retention and a $15,000 relocation amount.

“GPs will be offered retention grants of up to $12,000 to encourage them to stay working in our region, and on top of this there will be a relocation amount of up to $15,000,” Cheeseman said. “$134.4million is being invested nationally and we are going to get a significant amount to encourage doctors to relocate and stay in our communities.

“We are tackling the health workforce shortages in regional and remote areas across the country by introducing a generous package of financial and non-financial incentives for doctors who relocate to rural areas.”

He said the government was also improving health services for communities in rural and remote areas, with 1,000 new nursing training places every year and an additional 1,300 GPs qualified or training by 2013; new superclinics and further projects to provide essential health infrastructure, equipment and service planning for rural and remote communities.

New Lions president

PBDA chair, John Rae, is pleased construction of Portarlington’s retirement village will soon start.

PBDA supports local projects

BY ALISON MARTIN

PREPARATION works for the construction of the Portarlington’s retirement village have been welcomed by Portarlington Business Development Association.

PBDA chair, John Rae, said the association had supported the residential development for retirees and it was positive to see trees cleared and preliminary works under way on the Mercer Street site, adjacent to the Dylene Caravan Park.

The $35million Pelican Waters Retirement Village has been in the planning for more than seven years and will include 95 residences, a community centre with lounge, 25-metre lap-

pool and gymnasium when completed.

Rae said in recognising the need for a range of accommodation, the PBDA would also support a proposed redevelopment of the former service station on the corner of Sproat and Newcombe streets.

He said the developer of the site, Glen Baird, had presented his plans at the last PBDA meeting and the association had agreed to send representation to a City of Greater Geelong council meeting to endorse the project. “Building consultant, John Anderson, also addressed the meeting, which was held at Harvester Moon, and explained the entire VCAT process,� Rae said.

“Marion and Jack Williamson, who have recently sold the IGA supermarket, were thanked for 21 years of service to the community by Susan Doubleday, and the PBDA also welcomed new newsagents, Peter and Mandy Howard. “The Portarlington Mussel Festival committee is looking for volunteers to help with the organising of the event and the PBDA is calling for interest from members who would like to attend a business conference in Fiji in 2011.�

Rae said during the meeting, Portarlington Community Association had also reported the fundraising total from the Biggest Afternoon Tea, with $3,781.39 forwarded to Cancer Council Victoria.

PORTARLINGTON-DRYSDALE Lions Club has welcomed new president, Gary Doolan, who will lead the club during the next 12 months.

Doolan is a Clifton Springs resident and retired bank manager, and takes over from Drysdale’s Geoff Webster, who successfully steered the club over the past year.

During the 2009-2010 financial year, the active Lions Club has distributed $26,000 to the local community.

Grants and donations included $5,000 to the Clifton Springs Men’s Shed for the purchase of machinery and equipment, $5,000 to the SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre toward the cost of a commercial dishwasher, support for the children’s literature programme at district primary schools, support for the Clifton Springs Holloway family fire appeal, and funds to send local youngsters to Camp Lions at Licola.

Men: Tell us what you want IF YOU are male and live in or near Portarlington, the local neighbourhood house team would like to know your interests.

Portarlington Neighbourhood House will host a Men’s Information Night on Wednesday, August 18, and men of all ages are invited to attend.

The event will provide an opportunity for men to find out about courses and groups already operating at the house, but will also be a chance for them to suggest areas on interest they would like to see included in the

programme.

Woodworking, cooking, home brewing, pool or snooker are some of the ideas that are being considered, but the neighbourhood house would like input on more course subjects, the level of interest in the community and the most convenient times or days for classes.

For more details about next term’s programme or the information night, contact the Portarlington Neighbourhood House in Brown Street on 5259 2290.

News in brief $1,700 golf day PORTARLINGTON Golf Club hosted a charity golf day last month and raised more than $1,700 for the Bellarine Police Community Support Register. Register chair, Phil Green, said there were 72 entries for the golf day – which was successful in raising funds and awareness – of the register’s service. Green said the golf day had enjoyed the considerable the support of local businesses and a trade table was presented with many items donated by the Portarlington Craft Group.

Point Richards’ boat ramp

THE POINT Richards redevelopment project has entered its final stage, involving construction of a new four-lane concrete ramp and new jetty with a low landing.

Occupational health and safety management requires the boat ramp to be closed until the project is complete, which is planned for the end of this month. Nearby, free to use, ramps are located at Clifton Springs and Steeles Rock. Alternatively, the Bellarine Bayside Holiday Park ramp is open to all users who purchase an annual boat ramp pass.

Developer remains confident

Tony Meagher, Luke Vallins, Alan Edlin and Jacob Mayhew already know about the great courses offered at Portarlington Neighbourhood House, but are hoping to gather more ideas at next month’s Men’s Information Night.

GOLDSTRIKE Developments’ director, David McIntosh, is confident his plan to provide a fullline supermarket in Portarlington will gain the approval it requires through the VCAT process.

The application, which has been endorsed by the City of Greater Geelong, involves the construction of a $6million supermarket.

However, one objector will take concerns to VCAT on July 20 before the tribunal makes the final ruling on the proposal.

If the necessary permits are granted by VCAT, the supermarket will be built on the former Eden’s garage site in Brown Street and will create up to 50 jobs.

As a condition of the CoGG-approved permit, the developer will also pay all costs to install pedestrian islands at both ends of the Brown Street block, plant trees along the street and create 52 parking spaces, including 12 onsite.

Developer David McIntosh must wait for an objection to be heard at VCAT this month before knowing the fate of his supermarket proposal for Portarlington.

Drysdale’s triple treat

news

9

BY JUNE ALEXANDER A REMARKABLE triple treat was celebrated at the 2010 changeover dinner of the Rotary Club of Drysdale held recently.

It involved the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow to Jenny Blackley. Jenny’s parents, Peggy and Bill, are also Paul Harris Fellows.

Long-time Rotarians could not recall any previous occasion where three members of one family had achieved the Paul Harris honour.

Jenny grew up in a family circle dedicated to Rotary and she and Peggy have worked efficiently on the annual art show and other functions for many years in support of Bill and the club generally.

Jenny is admired as a highly talented musician and professional teacher and is now cheerfully devoting much of her time to caring for Bill and Peggy in their illness. Her disabled brother Phillip also lives at home.

A Paul Harris Fellow is recognition of a gift made to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International to assist funding of a range of humanitarian grants and educational programmes. A second Paul Harris Fellow was presented at the Drysdale changeover dinner to Lindsay Noss, for his long-time community service.

District Governor, Jessie Harman, in her first ‘gig’ in Rotary District’s 9780 region, farewelled retiring president Stuart Baker and welcomed the incoming president, Keith Stasinowsky.

Outgoing president Baker reflected on a year in which he built up fellowship in the Drysdale club.

His term included many social and cultural events within the community, with two major ongoing projects comprising the Miniature Railway located in the Rotary Children’s Park at Portarlington and the annual Easter art show, at Leopold. Another highlight was the club’s 35th anniversary dinner, held at Queenscliff.

Nominate your doctor BELLARINE patients are being urged to say ‘thank you’ to their local GP by nominating them for a Victorian Rural Doctors’ Award.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the award recognised doctors who had made an outstanding contribution to rural and regional communities, or worked in rural and regional health for less than two years and demonstrated strong community engagement, or had contributed 35 years or more service.

“The communities of Ocean Grove, Clifton Springs, Drysdale, Portarlington, Indented Head,

Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale are eligible to nominate doctors who they believe have made an outstanding contribution,” she said.

“These awards give local residents the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of their local GP and also an opportunity to show their gratitude.

An awards ceremony and dinner will honour this year’s Victorian Rural Doctors’ Award recipients and their families in late October.

coast community environment

A new chapter for coast committee A NEW chapter in the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee’s (GORCC) six-year history has begun with the new 12-member voluntary committee officially formed last week.

Recently announced by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, the new committee includes four new members along with four current members, reappointed for a further three years, and four members appointed late last year.

John Carlile, who stepped into the role of acting chairman following Peter Anderson’s departure earlier this year, has been confirmed as new chair of the committee, which is responsible for leading the day-today management, care, protection and appropriate development of Crown land reserves along the

Great Ocean Road coast between Torquay and Lorne.

“I am looking forward to continuing to work with seven familiar faces and to welcoming four new faces on board,” Carlile said.

“With a good mix of different skills and expertise, I am very confident that our four new members will each make meaningful contributions to support our work in managing the coast.”

Graham Brawn, Clinton Fraser, Ian Jupp and Daniel Marquet are the new committee recruits. They join Dennis Barker, Linton Drever and Joe Taylor – who, like Carlile, have been reappointed for another three years – along with Peter Bauerle, Simon Coverdale, Clive Fitts and Ken Northwood, who only took up their positions some seven months ago.

A movie not to miss ONE OF Australia’s best award-winning environmental films will be screened in Torquay this Friday night.

The movie, The Burning Season, will be shown free as part of the Surf Coast Energy Group’s eco-film series for the community. The screening will take place on Friday night at the Surf World Museum theatrette from 7pm.

The documentary follows young Australian entrepreneur, Dorjee Sun, who believes there is money to be made from protecting rainforests in Indonesia, saving the orangutang from extinction and making a real impact on climate change.

He sets out across the world in search of investors for his carbon trading scheme.

But at the same time he is doing this, the palm oil farmers are burning the forests and orangutans are dying. The film’s producer, writer and director, Cathy Henkle, will also be at the Torquay screening to talk further about the how she created the film.

Henkle first met Dorjee in 2006 and became captivated by his determination to help the environment.

“I met Dorjee and after he said he had a solution so I started to track him.

I just happened to pick up he was onto something. He was actually onto a solution, not just talking about the problem,” said Henkle.

“He had seen an inconvenient truth and was inspired by it to try save the planet. We filmed it during 2007 and 2008, covering five continents in his journey.”

The film is also narrated by Hugh Jackman.

“I was shooting a film about the

Young entrepeneur Dorjee Sun inspires the audience in the documentary The Burning Season.

character of Wolverine and I asked Hugh to narrate The Burning Season. He has kids so he cares about the future of the environment. He is a very caring and compassionate man,” Henkle said.

Since its release the film has had huge success, winning multiple awards including the Brisbane International

Film Festival Audience Choice Award in 2008 and Inside Film Award for Best Documentary in 2009.

Henkle added a surprise for the audience will be her reveal of what the sequel to the film will be.

Let down your hair at The Potato Shed DON’T miss out on a great opportunity to revisit the famous fairytale Rapunzel during the school holidays.

Local theatre group 3triple2 for kids, based at The Potato Shed in Drysdale, will add to the famous fairytale we all know and love, just as it has with many other classics.

Potato Shed co-ordinator, Rob Macleod, said the storyteller will introduce the audience to Rapunzel, her father, Madame Gothel, the most handsome Frederic and the mysterious plant with the unpronounceable name.

“This production once again blends the traditional story with modern twists, songs and children’s participation to offer a delightful experience the entire family will enjoy and remember,” Macleod said.

“So come and catch up on a classic and bring the world of the Grimm brothers into your hearts.

“Only one way to discover the truth is to come and see what happens …”

Rapunzel will be presented each day this week at The Potato Shed at 10.30am and 1.30pm. Tickets can be booked on 5251 1998 or at any City of Greater Geelong customer service centre or will be available at the door.

Snakes here, snakes there and snakes everywhere was the main theme last week when Roaming Reptiles made a school holiday visit to the Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre. Getting a feel for the snakes were Jamie Mayer, 6, and Dayna Hourigan, 11, Kiara Vandenbough, 11 (above left) and Maddy Haywood, 8.

A treat too good to resist

BY ALISON MARTIN

WHEN it comes to treating yourself and your canine companion to an outing, you can’t go past Queenscliff’s Courtyard CafÊ and Nursery – literally!

The Courtyard offers not only great coffee and food for customers but also provides a homemade biscuit for dogs during their visit.

Roisin Peck explained that while working at the Hesse Street cafe, she was inspired to make the puppy treats for the many customers who brought their pets to the Courtyard.

She said regular customers with dogs admitted they have great trouble walking past the Hesse Street entrance of the cafĂŠ because their furry friends know there is a tasty treat waiting for them. “I actually get to know the dogs’ names

first and then their owners’ names,�

Roisin said. “There are so many people with dogs in Queenscliff and they range from Shih Tzus to Irish Wolf Hounds‌ the biscuits have been a real hit.â€?

The dog biscuits are free to customers, but the cafĂŠ, owned by Jill Caldwell, also supports the work of assistance dogs by raising money for the important charity.

She said the fundraising had started last year when the cafÊ hosted a dogs’ breakfast, with businesses donating prizes and raised $800 for Assistance Dogs Australia.

Assistance Dogs Australia trains Labradors and Golden Retrievers to help people with physical disabilities to lead more independent lives and relies on fundraising. “People can make donations and we are planning to have another event to raise money this year for Dogtober,� Roisin said.

Roisin Peck makes her own dog biscuits for Courtyard CafÊ customers’ pooches.

Safety first for Sea All Dolphin Swims

SEA ALL Dolphin Swims has been taking a break from Dolphin and Seal swims over the last month to offer First Aid training for the first time, with more sessions planned for August.

The Queenscliff eco-tourism provider successfully delivered Level 2 First Aid course and CPR updates and will offer training again next month.

Sea All Dolphin Swims team leader, Monique Bregman, said working in water meant they had a responsibility to be at the top of their game when it comes to water safety. “Rather than continually sending our staff away

for training in first aid and water safety, we made the decision to work with Life Saving Victoria and develop our skills in-house instead,� she said. “This training and the subsequent certification is backed by Life Saving Victoria. LSV holds the vision that all Victorians should be able to learn water safety, swimming and resuscitation, and be provided with safe beaches, water environments and aquatic venues. “It means we can tailor our training to our own needs, with an emphasis on scenarios involving the water, or the coastal environment at large. Alternatively, we can

Queenscliff Monthly

tailor it perfectly to our clients’ needs. “We’ve always strived to follow best-practice principles in the area of safety while out on Port Phillip Bay, but what we’re doing now is taking that to a whole new level.�

CPR update and Level 2 First Aid, full course or update courses, will be held on August 28, bronze medallion update on August 29 and bronze medallion full course on a date to be set.

News in brief Tree replacement starts

FIGS, pines and Cyprus are among the new trees planted in Queenscliff as part of the project to replace the old, ‘at risk’ trees which were removed because of safety concerns. Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor, Bob Merriman, said stage one of the borough’s tree replanting programme had started in the Gellibrand Street reserve and Princes Park. The advisory group will meet again this week to consider the next stage in the programme.

Beach access

THE BOROUGH of Queenscliffe is working with the Department of Sustainability and Environment to improve public beach access throughout the borough. The first major project will be the replacement of the Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club ramp, with council expected to seek quotes soon. The borough will contribute $20,000, DSE has provided $50,000 and a $30,000 Federal Government grant will complete the project.

Swan Bay moorings

THE INSTALLATION of improved moorings at the Swan Bay boat ramp and dredging programme to improve boat access is expected to be completed

by September, in time for snapper season. Secondhand moorings have been purchased and are being refurbished, with the Borough of Queenscliffe hoping to sell the old pontoons to offset costs.

The ramp will be closed for a short period while dredging is carried out because of requirements to contain the area during the process.

coast community environment

Celebrating women in the community LEADING female figures from around the district converged on Geelong last week for the annual Fanny Brownbill luncheon.

The ninth hosting of the luncheon drew together councillors, a mayor and a member of parliament to help celebrate the leadership roles of women in the community.

The event, hosted by Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney, was well attended with a number of current and former parliamentarians, and local government councilors from across the Surf Coast, Bellarine, Geelong and western districts of Victoria. “This event is a celebration of the first woman Labor Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, Fanny Brownbill, and highlights the achievements of women in a variety of areas in our communities,� Tierney said. “It was fantastic to host a number of women leaders in Western Victoria to celebrate these achievements and of course to celebrate the first women Prime Minister of Australia, The Honourable Julia Gillard.�

Fanny Brownbill was the first Labor woman elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly after her husband, William Brownbill – who previously held the seat of Geelong – died while in office.

Mrs Brownbill held the seat for 10 years until her death in 1948 and was re-elected on four occasions during her decade in parliament.

Mrs Brownbill was a champion for the needs of woman, children and the aged, and represented constituents through some of the harshest years in Australia’s history, and she is remembered through the Brownbill Ward of the City of Greater Geelong.

Timely boost for local ambulance services BARWON South West Region will gain an additional 41 paramedics as part of a State Government commitment last week to deliver improved ambulance services.

The $56million Statewide package will see six of those 41 paramedics being MICA trained – who are able to provide the highest level of clinical care and emergency response. There are currently eight dedicated MICA response units operating in Bendigo, Ballarat, Morwell and Geelong.

The package, which Ambulance Victoria began rolling immediately, sets out a new plan to increase the number of paramedics, boost ambulance resources and provides new incentives for young people to become paramedics in regional and rural Victoria.

It includes: • 10 new MICA single-responder

units with 48 new MICA paramedics dedicated to work in regional and rural Victoria; • 40 scholarships for students who want to become paramedics in regional and rural Victoria; • Eight non-emergency patient transfer crews staffed by 32 non-emergency transfer patient transport officers to cut down the number of nonemergency transports undertaken by paramedics by 10 per cent and increase capacity of paramedics to respond to emergency call-outs by an estimated 12,000 hours; and • A new regional and rural call referral service.

Premier John Brumby said that continuing record support from the Government would enable Ambulance Victoria to recruit 200 paramedics in 2010/2011 to work in regional and rural communities.

Family fun at Waurn Ponds Pictured at last week’s luncheon were (from left) councillor David Cotsell (Golden Plains Shire), guest speaker Rosemary McKenzie, councillor Barb Abley (City of Greater Geelong), councillor Jill Parker (Moyne Shire), councillor Lyn Russell (Mayor, Colac Otway Shire) Gayle Tierney MP, and councillor Rose Hodge (Surf Coast Shire).

t e k r View a M Vehicle and Equipment Finance – How to get the best result!

with tracey watts

Chris Unthank from Geelong Financial Group (GFG) specialises in correctly financing the purchase of business equipment, machinery, office furniture and fit outs, along with motor vehicles.

Chris will work together with the clients professional business advisers, normally the accountant, to provide the best solution – considering structure, asset protection and pricing.

What is important when you finance plant, equipment and vehicles?

1. Finance structure 2. Asset and Business protection 3. Tax implications 4. Term of the loan – 3 to 5 years 5. Residual or balloon remaining at the end of the loan 6. The most appropriate funder to suit the clients needs and business The difference – A Lease, Hire Purchase, Chattel Mortgage and Business Loan!

Lease/Novated Lease A Novated lease is a viable solution for employees (rather than the self employed), as this method of finance allows for the deduction of the purchase and running costs of a vehicle, and

makes for some strong tax savings for clients. Novated leasing is more advantageous given the client travels longer distances, and is in a higher tax bracket.

Hire Purchase/Chattel Mortgage These two structures are arguably the most common for small/medium business owners financing vehicles & equipment (this is where GFG would liaise with the clients accountant for tax purposes).

Most financiers offer maximum 60 month arrangements, with a balloon or residual at the end (generally up to 30%). The lower the residual, the higher the monthly repayments, but also the lower the interest charged.

Assessment and discussion on cash flow is very important to deciding the right mix with regard to term (months) and end payment (residual).

Vehicles in this structure are more difficult and more expensive if the vehicle is older than 5 years old. GFG has access to more than 12 funders, including the major banks, along with some second and third teir funders that work with older and less main stream vehicles.

Business Loan Using a business loan can involve mixing business assets with personal security, and for this reason structure is very important.

Generally GFG will always aim to minimize risk by keeping personal assets separate to business assets.

A business loan is an option where the client has a lot of property equity, with minimal business history, or where the business is not showing strong figures for various reasons.

A personal loan attracts a higher interest rate so this type of funding would be a last resort.

Where to now?

GFG provide the following from a panel of 12 lenders, • Hassle Free, Fast approvals.

• No Deposit Finance • Mixed Residuals available.

• Low rates and flexible terms.

• Full access to bank & non bank lenders.

• Professional, experienced team of 10 staff across the Geelong and Torquay offices I look forward to chatting with you to assist in the purchase of your plant, equipment and / or vehicle requirements.

WHILE politicians all over the world insist there is a nascent economic recovery, economic data and more recently stockmarket and bond market action contradict this assertion.

This week attention was on United States unemployment and manufacturing data. Interestingly, it has been manufacturing data that has led to the call of a recovery, but in a sign that it has started to cool, orders placed with US factories fell 1.4 per cent in May, the biggest decline since March 2009 and the first decrease in nine months.

The latest jobs figures, however, demonstrate the very real trouble the US economy is in. Unemployment fell from 9.7 per cent to 9.5 per cent but this improvement was due entirely to a declining participation rate; long-term unemployed people stopped looking for jobs or opted for retirement. If the more accurate U6 measure is used then unemployment in the US is actually closer to 16 per cent.

This disappointment is being reflected in stockmarkets.

In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 has fallen 16 per cent from its recent April high but more dramatically it has fallen 9 per cent in the last 9 days. This places the Australian market back to levels last seen in July 2009 but more significantly back to levels first seen in March 2005. In effect the market is back where it was five years ago.

What is happening? The fuel of markets, investor sentiment, has now turned from optimism to pessimism and we have only just begun a long period of deleveraging with social sentiment turning from borrow and spend to pay off debt and save.

Austerity is becoming the new buzz word for governments and is the “new black”.

The result? World growth will contract; credit will contract with a consequent return to “normality” where debt no longer fuels economic activity.

Aid mission proves a success THE TEAM at Torquay’s Surf Sight Optical has recently returned from an aid mission in Fiji.

Martin Duke, Melinda Peoples and Martin Kirsch spent two weeks in the township of Ba, where they tested the eyes of more than 400 school children at three schools – providing free glasses where needed.

With children of all ages at the school tested, 15 pairs of glasses needed to be made and returned for those in need of spectacles.

“All in all, to make up 15 pairs of spectacles and send them back to the students means we have helped 15 children to see properly,” Duke said.

“These children may not have otherwise had the opportunity to even have had their eyes tested.

“Now they will be wearing their own spectacles – they are able to see properly and this will help in their learning.”

The trip, which was Duke’s fourth to Fiji, also saw his family make the journey and his 10-yearold daughter, Brianna, spend a week at St Therese

School in Ba. Apart from the generosity shown by the Surf Sight Optical trio – who paid for the trip themselves – there was also great support shown from the local community.

“The Lions Club of Torquay paid for some of the spectacles and many were donated by locals,” Duke said.

“We also left many more specs with the St Vinnies group there.

“Apart from the spectacles, some readers and another box were also sent over for the school staff to sort through. So a big thank you to all the locals who donated something “The group from St Therese Catholic Primary School, Robyn Taylor who made cases and cloths for all the specs, the Lions Club of Torquay and all the generous clients and friends of Surf Sight Optical who made donations of spectacles and cash in our tin – thank you for your help.

“So, as the Fijians say, Bula Vinaka!”

How I turned my life around MANY of us have our guilty pleasures. My name is Carlee and mine was chocolate, cheese, cake, anything in reach after the birth of my baby girl.

Just on 11 months later, the result was that I had ballooned to 98 kilograms, only finding this out due to my daughter needing to be weighed at the doctors. Seeing the figures on the scales brought me to tears.

Something had to be done! I’d had Virginia’s business card in my wallet for months, so I rang her two days after leaving the doctors surgery. There was no answer and I didn’t leave a message, but two minutes later she rang back, and every day I am grateful she did.

My first session began with an intense discussion

about my background and why I was the way I was.

After the discussion we decided that I wasn’t going on a diet plan, that I wouldn’t count calories.

I would begin healthy eating, by swapping and changing my food choices – that’s not to mean I couldn’t have a bit of the good stuff every now and then.

As for exercise, in the beginning Virginia was happy if I walked around the corner everyday – just to get the feel for it.

I began to change my foods from chocolate to yoghurt (I’d never eaten yoghurt in my life – or fruit for that matter), chips to salad, pastry to fruit.

As for exercise, if you knew me six months ago you wouldn’t believe it, but I run! This year was my

first fun run. I’d been running for two months and ran a time of 29 minutes for four kilometers.

From the day that I visited Virginia on November 14 last year weighing 98 kilograms and as I sit here typing away – just seven months later – I am 23kg lighter and enjoying life every minute of the day; I run, I play, I laugh.

The secret to my success isn’t willpower, it isn’t anything really, it’s instilling the power in you to say I can do this, and with the help of Virginia I did that.

I am 23kg lighter and have never been happier!

Are you getting a good night’s sleep?

NEARLY half of Australians surveyed are sleep deprived and may be at risk of ill health, they are the finding of a recent survey.

According to the Blackmores Sleep Survey, nearly one in two Australians have suffered from insomnia in the last six months – a worrying number.

In addition to this alarming finding, more than 60 per cent of people who suffer from insomnia suffer for two weeks or more at a time.

A Harvard Medical School Special Health Report has revealed that lack of sufficient sleep can lead to a range of ill effects, triggering mild to more serious consequences. “Insomnia is a very real problem for Australians,� said Blackmores director of

education, Pam Stone. “We have all been a little tired or had the odd night of restless sleep but if your sleep is consistently of a poor quality it can be dangerous not only for your health but if you’re performing tasks such as driving while fatigued. “If you’re finding you’re getting to sleep but not getting a deep and sound sleep there are some options for you to help manage your sleep over the long-term and wake up ready to take on the day. “Getting your sleep patterns right is not going to happen overnight. It takes time to assess your pattern and manage it into a rhythm that works for you.�

Blackmores 10-Point Sleep Sound Plan

can help you get a deep, sound sleep. Try the following: • Keep a sleep diary – this can help you pinpoint potential triggers for insomnia • Cut down on caffeine • Stop smoking • Don’t drink alcohol for at least two hours before bedtime • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends • Limit fluids before bedtime to minimise night-time trips to the bathroom • Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and as quiet as possible • Take a hot bath before bedtime • Use relaxation techniques before bedtime.

Keeping us all fit Dear Editor, What a fantastic initiative walking distance markers in St Leonards would be. As a regular walker and resident of the area I would find these markers of great benefit and assist me in increasing my fitness level.

Many of our visitors are interested in how far certain points are from one another and how long it will take them to get there. And, of course, these will assist to stop kidding myself as to how far I have actually walked.

Thank you for your support.

Gail Upton St Leonards

An ideal project Dear Editor, What a clever, simple and inexpensive proposal to introduce distance markers on walking tracks in St Leonards.

It’s an ideal project for a local group to support and an ideal project to be taken up right across the Bellarine.

Well done St Leonard’s Progress Association – practical and simple, achievable at a low cost and promotes health and wellbeing.

Dear Editor, The installation of self-scanning stations at the Torquay Woolworths is just another nail in the coffin of customer service.

The chaos I observed at Woolworths on Sunday as folks were banked up would never have occurred if the same number of staff that were trying to help hapless customers had been stationed at the checkout doing what checkout folks do best.

Yet another job opportunity for the youth of Torquay that has gone the way of progress.

In the time it would have taken the queue to end I walked to the alternative and was on my way home.

Choice is a wonderful thing.

Dear Editor, I just wanted to say that the idea of distance markers on walking tracks in St Leonards looks to me like a very simple and inexpensive idea, which would be beneficial for the community.

Perhaps it could also take up on the idea of the markers along our surf beaches and incorporate something to help emergency assistance identify where they need to go to when assistance is needed.

A good idea – why haven’t we considered it before now, one wonders?

Forrest concerns Dear Editor, It is wrong for anybody to suggest that the protest at Forrest is all about radiation hazards from the proposed Telecommunications Tower.

The residents of this township have been waiting far too long for mobile phone coverage in the area, especially with regard to bushfire safety as we are situated in a recognised danger area.

Members of the community have been actively consulting land owners and authorities in an attempt to find a suitable site, out of town, and a number of possible options have been proposed.

The issues are: • The effect of a structure (which is the size and scale of a power Transmission Tower) at 45 metres high will be an eyesore on our sky line and therefore impact on local land values. It will, without a doubt, impinge on the beauty of our town • The proposed position in the centre of town • The effect this will have on tourism-based businesses in the area • The apparent inadequate consultation process with neighbours, residents, and local community • Finally, the immediate threat of loss of students at the local school as concerned parents move away.

John Frizon Forrest

Let’s clear this up Dear Editor, I would like to clarify some mis-information that is circulating about the Concerned Parents About Torquay Surfcoast Schooling (CPATSS).

I have children that go to Torquay College, and would like to re-iterate once again that CPATSS members are more than happy with the education that their children are receiving at Torquay College.

We are very proud and highly satisfied with our school, and have no complaints about the school, staff or the principal at Torquay College.

Collectively, CPATSS members have 15 children, and wouldn’t have children at the school if they had issues. The issue is not about the school.

It is about making sure we have the best possible secondary education school choices, for not just Torquay, but Bellbrae, Bells Beach and Anglesea and surrounding areas.

The school may be all well and fine for the next few years, but what about the future generations of children in these areas?

Even after the school is at full capacity as a P-12, we will still have to bus over 1,000 children to Geelong to complete their secondary education.

With a growing community like Torquay and surrounds, why are we putting a schooling model all crammed onto one road?

The decision was made over five years ago to extend the College, and we are only implementing this now. Do you know how much our community has grown in this time? Do you not feel that Torquay deserves a standalone secondary school, with facilities that will include ovals, tennis courts, basketball courts, etc, etc?

The planning of secondary education needs to be seriously re-thought. If a group of parents are willing to hold a forum to seek more information on this planning procedure, how can those select few keep slurring this group as a nasty and political campaign.

The only one that has made this sound nasty and political, is Michael Crutchfield, who could not answer the group’s questions.

We only want to be assured on getting good secondary choices and the best possible outcomes for our children. I am starting to wonder, what some people have got against a standalone secondary school. And if

so, is there another agenda we are not aware of?

Considering that when CPATSS had a meeting with the principal, she informed us that the first choice put down was in fact a standalone high school, but the Department of Education and Childhood Development gave us the second choice of a P-9.

Just remember, this is a concerned group of parents seeking more information, and wanting the best for our children and for years to come.

Victoria.

These additional paramedics – 210 for regional Victoria and 100 for metropolitan Melbourne – will be deployed across the state to reverse the ambulance crisis created by and neglected by the government.

This will be the biggest single increase in additional staffing for Victoria’s ambulance service in the state’s history.

A Baillieu Liberal Nationals Coalition Government will overhaul our ailing ambulance service, which has struggled under John Brumby and has left residents A founding member of CPATSS experiencing lengthy waits for this basic service.

Torquay Under the plan, the Coalition will work with Ambulance Victoria, local communities and paramedics to allocate new officers to areas of the state with the greatest clinical need.

Dear Editor, Victoria’s ambulance service crisis has hit both I am appalled at the State Planning Minister’s recent regional and metropolitan Victoria. Lives are at risk decision to increase the Torquay boundary to one because of Brumby’s and Labor’s failure to properly kilometre west of Duffields Road and feel there are manage Victoria’s ambulance services. glaring questions that need to be asked concerning The ambulance service is in crisis under Brumby this decision. and we are going to rebuild it.

What and who initiated this decision? What was the shire’s role in this? Were any of the developers that Ted Baillieu have an interest in this area of land among those that Leader of the Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition have made political donations to the State Labor Party?

If the shire had a role in this, of which there are suggestions, (See the Independent, Friday 25 June 2010) why has it blatently gone against the wishes of the local community that were so strongly expressed Shadow Minister for Public Transport & Shadow Minister for Roads during the Save Spring Creek campaign?

Furthermore how does the Shire justify its outrageous back flip on this and its current approach of casually and paternalistically trying to whitewash the situation by claiming the community can be involved in the process from now on? How can the community believe anything the Shire has to say on contentious planning/development matters?

I feel there are serious issues of breach of trust at play here.

If the community feels that it has been ‘sold down the river’ we can certainly send a strong protest to Minister Madden and the State Government by voting for non ALP candidates at the upcoming state ACN 074 699 200 elections. But I am unsure what we can do to stop the Shire making planning/development decisions L AW Y E R S & C O N S U LTA N T S that mainly benefit developers and are detrimental to ...Quality Legal Work at the well being of the local community.

An appalling decision

Dear Editor, The recent debate about education in Torquay has been ongoing since the last State Election and it is only the arrogance of Michael Crutchfield, the local member, that prevents Torquay gaining a new secondary school.

Many parents of school age children must wonder why their children are bused to Geelong and not able attend a high school in their own community.

The population of the Surf Coast has increased dramatically over the past five years and will continue to grow.

I note the Liberal Party has announced that in government they will build a new high school in Torquay, I support this initiative.

The current situation with regards to education in Torquay is unacceptable and it is not in the best interests of students. They complete one or two years in Torquay then are forced to travel into Geelong to complete their education causing major disruption to them and parents.

Many of these students spend their leisure and sporting time in Geelong with friends they make, and are lost to Torquay.

People of Torquay should write to their local member and ask him why Torquay has no education plan for the future.

As the local school is one of the last community assets in this small township we cannot afford to threaten its viability in any way.

We all hope that the issue is resolved quickly to everyone’s satisfaction and that a new tower outside of town will soon be constructed to give us all satisfactory phone network coverage and peace of mind with the approaching bushfire season.

Doggie deductions MAN’S best friend has hidden benefits.

There are many situations where a dog is a handy work asset. A dog that can guard tools, equipment and vehicles is a valuable member of a work environment, and expenses associated with the upkeep of a canine companion can be partly claimed as legitimate work costs.

There are many reasons for including canine costs at tax time; food, vaccinations, and veterinary bills for a dog which is used as security or pest control at a work site, can be partly claimed as deductions from the gross income.

Dogs New South Wales supports the use of an effective dog in an appropriate work environment. Dog owners have been scientifically proven to be more sociable and happy people as a result of owning a dog. It makes good business sense to have a dog at the office and take it for walks during business chats. Some businesses choose to hold meetings over dinner in the evening.

A healthy alternative is to have a business chat while walking the office dog, during the day. “Many people who work with dogs are entitled to claim back their dog-related expenses,� said veterinarian and Dogs NSW spokesperson, Dr Peter Higgins. “Guard dogs are part deductible, including for people who use a watchdog at their home office. A tradesman who works with a dog in his ute can also partly claim his companion. “This is just one of many great incentives to get dogs involved in your workplace. “Certain breeds of dogs can be a positive force in an appropriate workplace and calm nerves in high-stress environments – it’s a shame they can’t be claimed as a medical expense. “Guide dogs, on the other hand, can be claimed under special circumstances.�

Dogs NSW recommends people should seek advice from a qualified tax consultant before claiming any deductions.

Big win for Little Constructions

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Housing not affordable HOUSING affordability has diminished across Australia over the last year, with Victoria recording one of the most significant changes, according to the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s March Housing Affordability Report.

In the March quarter last year, 27.6 per cent of a family income was required to meet average loan repayments; following increases in house prices and interest rates, it increased to 29.5 per cent in the December quarter, and then to 32.6 per cent in the March quarter this year.

There are only two states in which a higher proportion of the family income is required: in New South Wales, where the average is 34.5 per cent; and in Queensland, where it is marginally higher at 33 per cent.

The primary reason for the reduced affordability is the average loan and the average loan repayment has increased.

One year ago the average loan was $259,559 and the repayment was $1,620 per month. In the most recent quarter the average loan was $297,813 and the repayment was $2,018 per month.

The increase in the cost of repayments of $398 per month outstrips the increase in the median family income of $338 per month.

The underlying reason for the worsening affordability in Victoria is a lack of homes to meet the needs of our growing population.

The National Housing Supply Council has said that Victoria has 22,700 fewer homes than was required in 2009, and that the problem of diminishing affordability was unlikely to change until supply either equals or exceeds demand.

MARK Little of Little Constructions is celebrating recognition for his company’s high quality workmanship.

Little Constructions was recently awarded for the Best Renovation or Addition in the $100,000 to $200,000 range at the 2010 Regional Building Awards.

The South West District awards, held at Skilled Stadium by Master Builders, marked a milestone in the Torquay-based Little’s career.

“You always think you are doing a great job but to be compared with your competitors and recognised as doing a better job is such a huge boost,” Little said.

The award was judged on the quality of the workmanship, execution of plans and innovation.

Little’s winning project, in Felix Street, Torquay, included a second storey extension, polished spotted gum floors and open tread staircase, gas log fire as well as sprucing up the outdoor paint palette.

“It came up great. The place looks fantastic,” Torquay’s Mark Little, of Little Constructions, is celebrating winning a regional building award for renovating he said. the home pictured onscreen behind him.

Have your say on Armstrong Creek MULTI-AWARD winning developer, Villawood Properties, is asking locals to have their say on what will make for the best new community at Armstrong Creek.

Developer of the Armstrong Creek West Precinct, ‘Armstrong Village’ Villawood launched its community intranet www.armstrongvillageonline. com.au last Saturday.

Open to all, the online forum is a new tool for locals, potential buyers and community members to

provide their feedback, thoughts and suggestions on what should be included as part of Villawood’s new 1,500-lot plus residential development.

Seeking feedback on what locals would like to see as part of the new community, Villawood Properties executive director, Rory Costelloe, said the intranet will allow the community to participate in the development of Armstrong Village.

“We are seeking community feedback upfront during the initial stages of Armstrong Village to

ensure the best possible development, facilities and features for this community,” he said.

“We are keen to see what this community desires and how we can make this a reality.”

The Armstrong Creek West Precinct Structure Plan is expected for public exhibition by the end of 2010, with land allotments anticipated to be available early in 2011.

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 On the 13th May the wrecked vessel, including three boats, was sold by auction in Melbourne. Three days later an auction sale of the cargo was held on the beach. There was an attendance of 800 persons at the sale, various items such as oil, kerosene, tobacco, yellow pine, leather, printing paper and other miscellaneous cargo, where auctioned. A portion of the keel, was set fire to by the purchaser for the purpose of extracting the copper bolts. The deck house was purchased by the late Mr W P ride, with a view to having it moved to a site overlooking the beach and conver ting it into a two-storied seaside residence. But the task proved more difficult than was anticipated. The contractors, who made the first and second attempts managed to get the building some distance up the hill, but when the breaking of one of the pulley blocks caused it to roll back to the beach, they gave up the job and the deck house was then secured on the beach for the winter.

YOUR GUIDE TO BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION ON THE SURF COAST & BELLARINE

Portarlington display open

THE NEW Hotondo Homes display in Portarlington was officially opened to the public last month with a good turnout of locals wanting to get a first look at the design.

The Dakota 267 display home, located at 8 The Rise, Portarlington, is not only the first display to be built by the team at Hotondo Homes Ocean Grove, it is also the first Hotondo Homes display to be built on the Bellarine Peninsula.

“We’d like to thank all the sub-contractors and suppliers who helped the project come together and also all the clients who came along to the grand opening,” said Allie Barker of Hotondo Homes.

“A lot of people worked together to get the display completed to such a high standard so it’s great to see people now being able to view the finished product.

“We’ve had a steady flow of people visiting the display since it was launched to the public.”

The Dakota 267 is a 27.8 square design featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two spacious living areas making it one of Hotondo Homes’

popular family-friendly designs.

One of the home’s standout features is the central kitchen with large walk-in pantry that leads to the attached double garage, which is perfect for unpacking the car.

Adjoining the kitchen is an open-plan dining and family area that opens out to an alfresco space overlooking the rear yard.

Hotondo Homes Ocean Grove has house and land packages available at the Arlington Rise estate in Portarlington.

To view a large range of floor plans and products visit the sales office and showroom on the corner of Grubb Road and Sinclair Street, Ocean Grove.

The new Dakota 267 display is located in the Arlington Rise estate at 8 The Rise, Portarlington, and is open Friday to Tuesday, from 1pm-5pm.

It is also available to view other times by appointment.

For more information or to make an appointment call the Hotondo Homes office and showroom on 5255 3556.

Building & Construction

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

THE SILKY sounds of Maddy Hay will come to Ocean Grove this weekend when she plays the Piping Hot Chicken Shop with her band.

MADDY Hay, who has recently completed a tour of Europe where she was promoting her latest album, Smoke in the City, will appear at the Piping Hot Chicken Shop on Saturday night from 8pm with tickets priced at just $10.

Hay is regarded as one of the country’s most talented up and coming jazz artists, and along with her band – consisting of Jonathan Zion on double bass, Steve Paix on piano and Barnaby Gold on drums – the quartet are sure to impress.

“I wrote Smoke in the City when I was 16 and living away from home, at boarding school,” Hay said.

“I would spend every minute I had hidden away in a tiny dark room in the music building, escaping from life, to my preferred imaginary world.

“For me, at that stage, the song was about waiting to share my music with the world. And today it brings me great joy to be able to sing that, in front of a live audience.”

From an early age Hay took a shine to music, and by the

time she was old enough to be sent to her room, she used that punishment as time to perfect her music skills.

“As an infant, I could hum before I could speak. I grew up listening to opera, and classic jazz, whilst dozing under my mother’s easel as she painted away quietly,” Hay said.

“I began violin lessons at the age of five and immediately used it as an escape machine. If I had behaved mischievously and was sent to my room, I would recline on my bed with my legs crossed and play boisterously until I was allowed out again.

“Later in high school I took up piano and had a short time of vocal training. I was very privileged to be able to attend one of the few schools in Australia that actually had a jazz syllabus, which is run by a strict and intense head of music.

“I was in fact frightened into practicing, afraid of the consequences of attending classes unprepared. So I learnt the repertoire all by heart.

“In retrospect, these years really pushed my musical

knowledge and developed my ears to a point that I was able to start hearing more complex harmony, melody and understand chord progressions.

“This has been a vital underpinning skill when it came to composing a number of my songs.”

Hay met her producer, Jonathon Zion in September 2008 and the pair struck up an immediate rapport.

By early 2009 her album was completed, with Zion adding new sounds to her music.

“Upon our first meeting I sensed that he got what I was about instantly. He saw depth and vulnerability in my songs and enabled them to swell into something magnificent, adding sounds that I had only ever dreamed of, with lush string arrangements, the ethnic sounding piano accordion and a touch of the childlike glockenspiel,” she said.

Keep warm with Bomboras BOMBORAS has the perfect combination to keep you warm through these winter months.

The popular Torquay venue is bringing back its Shanks and Shiraz promotion – to be held every Wednesday night.

What better way to warm up on a chilly winter’s night than with two succulent lamb shanks washed down with a glass of Shiraz – all for the bargain price of $20.

Apart from the warming winter offer, Bomboras – located on the Surf Coast Highway – has just launched its new website (see right).

At the click of a mouse people can view the website – www.bomboras. com.au – and find out the story behind Bomboras; discover more about functions that can be held at the venue and view the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, as well as look at the extensive wine list. “It has taken us two years to get the website up,� laughed part owner Tom McGrath. “But it is something that we needed to do and it has all our menus up there.

And if you have a function coming up at home, Bomboras can supply the food.

Bomboras is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 4.30pm-late; Wednesdays and Thursdays 11am3pm and 4.30pm-late; and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-late.

For more information visit www.bomboras.com.au

We often have people come in and say ‘Do you have a website?’ so now we can say yes. “People can have a look and see the menus and it shows off the place a little more.�

Apart from soothing hungry souls for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Bomboras can also host functions for up to 130 people.

Eckhardt and Steel on the Bellarine TALENTED local duo Tiffany Eckhardt and Dave Steel will play a special show at the Bellarine’s Harvester Moon this Saturday night.

The performance will celebrate the launch of Eckhardt’s seventh album, Sunday, where she worked closely with partner Steel.

Saturday night’s performance will include dinner at 6pm followed by the show at 8pm, which will see a number of songs from the album, as well as many old favourites performed.

Sunday is the first album to co-credit Steel – renowned guitarist, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist – as a creative force.

“Dave has always collaborated on my albums but this time he recorded and mixed and produced and played a lot of instruments,” Eckhardt said.

“I couldn’t just say it was a Tiffany Eckhardt record because there’s so much of Dave in it.

“I wrote all the songs, played some piano or guitar, but then he’d sit up all night and come up with all this amazing stuff. He really made it what it is.”

For more information or to book tickets, phone Harvester Moon on 5259 3200 or visit www. harvestermoon.com.au Harvester Moon is located at 2320 Portarlington Road, Bellarine (next to Bellarine Estate).

Tis’ the season to be… Red?

Calling all music lovers EVER wanted to watch gigs every weekend, or perhaps listen to the latest release CDs? Well, as long as you are happy writing about them – and you are aged between 16 and 24 – here is your chance.

The search is on throughout the country for an up and coming music journalist with the launch of the Optus Sound Scribe initiative.

Budding music enthusiasts can apply to represent their town as an Optus Sound Scribe, with successful applicants given the chance to interview international and local music artists, as well as be mentored by some of Australia’s leading music industry figures.

The programme is being run in regional towns

WITH red being ‘the new black’ now that we’ve got a ‘ranga’ for Prime Minister, I thought it would be politically correct to review some well priced, classically Australian styled blood nuts …err, sorry, I meant reds.

The kind of reds that suit this winter chill we’re experiencing at the moment – full bodied, seductively smooth, brimming with flavour – argh, tis’ the season for reds to be sure.

across the country, where teens have four weeks to apply online for a position as the local Optus Sound Scribe for their area.

Applications close on Friday, July 23, with entries judged by a panel of leading representatives from the music and entertainment industry, including Bernard Zuel (senior music critic, Sydney Morning Herald), Maz Compton (announcer on Nova 969), Jake Stone (lead singer of Bluejuice) and Nicole Fossati (editor of The Music Network).

For detailed information on applications, the music industry panel and more about the programme, visit www.optussoundscribe.com.au

Water Wheel ‘Memsie’ Bendigo Shiraz Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 ($15)

Winner of the Wine Wise Championship 2010 for ‘Champion Red Blend’, this is cracking drinking from the Water Wheel crew. Deliciously rich, dark and spicy with layers of soft, slurpy black fruit flavours and supple tannins without the ‘heaviness’ that some robust reds from this area carry… it’s also picked up a Gold Medal and Trophy for ‘Best Blended Red Wine’ at The Victorian Wines Show in Seymour 2009…’nuff said I reckon, get on it.

Wirra Wirra ‘Church Block’ McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 2008 ($20)

our view

Perennial McLaren Vale favourite with most red aficionados, and this release doesn’t let the side down, either. Full, ripe flavours of blackcurrant, plums and dark cherries lead the way with spicy background nuances adding complexity. Plump and soft on the finish, this is great value drinking.

NIGHT

Hewitson ‘Miss Harry’ Barossa Red Blend 2008 ($60)

$20

This used to be labelled as a Grenache/Shiraz blend and even though the label doesn’t say it anymore, I think it still is the same blend. More medium bodied in style with spicy, earthy red fruit aromas and flavours from the Grenache component that’s bolstered by the more intense richness and plumpness of the Shiraz that helps flesh out the suppleness on the finish… this would go well with any slowcooked winter meat dish.

Songs of heart and hope at GPAC Explore the

GEELONG Performing Arts Centre will present Songs for Nobodies next week.

The Melbourne Theatre Company’s magical and uplifting Songs for Nobodies is an inspirational musical drama written by acclaimed Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith especially for its star, the remarkable songstress Bernadette Robinson.

In Songs for Nobodies the audience meets five anonymous women whose brushes with fame had a profound effect on their lives, interleaved with the songs that gave them heart.

The singer has her story and the listener hers, and when these stories touch each other, there is magic. Share encounters with great singers such as Edith Piaf and Judy Garland in this compelling production, directed by Melbourne Theatre Company’s artistic director, Simon Phillips. “Ever since I sat stunned at a Bernadette Robinson concert not believing my ears, I wanted to create a show for her, something that put her miraculous ability to reincarnate the great singing voices of the past into a rich theatrical context,� said Phillips.

The duo of Murray-Smith and Phillips created the spectacularly successful Bombshells for Caroline O’Connor in 2002, and there is no doubt that this fantastic partnership has once again struck theatrical gold with Songs For Nobodies.

MTC’s Songs for Nobodies appears in the

nature of art

Drama Theatre at GPAC from July 13-17 as part of the 2010 Alcoa Theatre Season.

Tickets are available over the phone on 5225 1200 or online at www.gpac.org.au

THERE is only a month left to see the the Geelong Gallery’s Nature and beyond exhibition.

The exhibition shows works from a group of Geelong artists – Glenys Bryant, Patsy Bush, Andrea Clifford, Debra Jackson, Jan Synot and Ann Webb – who share a studio in the city.

The six artists draw on their diverse backgrounds in visual arts, science and education to create a diverse variety of paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture.

The exhibition, Nature and beyond, includes works in which the artists interpret and transform our urban landscape and natural environment.

The works explore the colour and form of flowers; the humorous interaction between animals and man; the relationship of man to his built environment; and the nature of space within the picture plane and the wider universe.

The exhibition will run through until July 25 with free entry.

The gallery is located at Little Malop Street, and is open daily from 10am-5pm, with guided tours of the collection available from 2pm Saturday. For more information, visit the website at www.geelonggallery.org.au

Warm your winter with festival fun WINTER has arrived in full force so what better time to enjoy this year’s Reflections Scarf Festival.

Now in its second year at Geelong’s National Wool Museum, the festival hosts a packed programme with places now open for the ever-popular workshops.

This year’s festival runs through until July 25. “Craft lovers should go to www. nwm.vic.gov.au to download their copy of the programme from the museum website and avoid disappointment by booking early,� said City of Greater Geelong Portfolio Holder for Arts and Culture, councillor Barbara Abley. “With an extensive programme of workshops and events, there’s something crafty on offer for all abilities and all ages. “Crocheting, felting, handspinning, French knitting and

Tiffany Eckhardt and Dave Steel have been confirmed to play at the Anglesea Music Festival.

Get in early to enjoy Anglesea

EARLY bird tickets for the inaugural Anglesea Music Festival are now on sale.

The festival, which will be held on October 8, 9 and 10, has already secured a number of outstanding performers and for those looking to purchase tickets early, now is the time to get in.

The early bird offer is open until July 31 – or until tickets are sold out – and they can be purchased at www.moshtix.com.au with adult weekend passes priced at just $50.

The festival has evolved from Anglesea Live – an event which has been held over a number of years and which showcases up and coming local talent.

The festival will draw from this decade of grass roots experience gained from holding regular musical events and concerts, according to festival director, Karren Stoneham. “Anglesea Live has proven its success over 10 years, so it’s a

natural progression to expand the original concept into a music festival,� she said. “This event will transform the community into a vibrant, buzzing and exciting town celebrating all that is wonderful about our community, our environment and our music.�

The festival will achieve a balance of local, regional and well-known bands, acts and performers showcasing a broad range of genres and talent over the three days across various stages, venues and other locations within the township.

So far, the line-up includes: Wendy Stapleton, Lisa Edwards, Paul Norton and Michael Christian, The Band who knew too much, Chris Wilson, Dave Steel, Tiffany Eckhardt, plus many, many more.

Performer applications are now open, with forms and more information available at www.angleseamusicfest.com

Rambler hits the right note Tuesday 6 July 2010

BY ELEANOR WOODS MUSICIAN Van Walker is tuning up to deliver one night of multi-dimensional folk music at Anglesea’s Red Till next week.

Hailed as a modern day Bob Dylan, the prolific songwriter, who has recorded three albums and toured internationally, hopes to hit a note with the Surf Coast music minded and drum up support for his aural endeavours.

Ramblin’ Van Walker, as he is known, has been celebrated by music critics and audiences for his approach to song writing and delivery of sound, and will appear at Red Till on Friday, July 16.

“The thing I love about music is that strangers won’t let you hug them. Or talk to them about anything emotionally real,” Walker said.

The Melbourne-based story teller says music breaks down that wall.

Through his songs, the musician sheds light on “emotional reality” which he thinks can be stifled by everyday existence.

The “stirrings of the heart” are hidden within

his songs, bringing down the veil of pretence, he said.

From Walker’s shows you can expect simple singalong songs that are layered as deeply as the listener is willing to read with moral and ethical murmurs or perhaps the tug of a broken heart string.

“The main motivation is to hide these levels within music that people enjoy to listen to,” he said.

Originally from Tasmania, Walker has worked with Paul Kelly, Mick Thomas, and Anglesea’s own Michael Barclay.

Prepare for a special evening of song this time around when he performs with guest, friend, banjo picker and guitarist, Corralea, and if the audience is lucky, Walker’s “sweetheart” Liz Stringer might join in the fun.

“I am looking forward to it. It’s a chance to do a run of shows along the coast and build up a profile and a relationship there among the audiences in the community,” he said.

For more information on the performance, phone The Red Till on 5263 2900.

Experience that big band sound THERE is nothing quite like the excitement and impact of a live big band.

The exhilarating experience of being in the same room with a host of talented musicians provides an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

At Lorne’s QDOS Art Gallery this Saturday, the Mace Francis Orchestra will bring the big band experience to the Surf Coast when they perform live from 7.30pm.

The MFO consists of 14 musicians all playing at their very best to provide a memorable evening of entertainment.

The Lorne appearance is part of anAustralia-wide tour for the orchestra as it looks to celebrate a new recording, celebrate its fifth birthday and launch

a new record label.

MFO was formed in 2005 by band leader and composer, Mace Francis, to experiment with composition in the style of the great modern big bands led by Maria Schneider, Bob Brookmeyer, Thad Jones and Bill Holman.

The result has been the coming together of 14 of Perth’s finest young musicians and composers to create exciting new music for big band. “The great thing about a big band is that there are 14 exceptional musicians on stage all projecting sound and energy,� Francis said. “The raw acoustic power needs to be heard live to be truly appreciated – audiences can feel it. “We are all really excited about this tour.

We have a new CD and it is our fifth birthday as a band.�

In the last five years MFO has developed an individual and original sound through regular performances throughout Western Australia, as well as being involved in a host of special projects.

Some of these projects have included two previous national tours in 2006 and 2008, performances with international jazz artists, Jim Pugh, Jon Gordon, John Hollenbeck and Theo Bleckmann.

The national tour will also launch a new record label/creative collective called Listen/Hear Collective which has been created to provide a home for performers and composers whose music refuses to be defined by the expectations of a single genre.

Listen/Hear Collective is less like a record label, and more like a creative network, supporting individual expression, while at the same time encouraging collaborations that cross styles and art forms.

They bring together open-minded, stylisticallydiverse musicians, producers and technicians from around Australia and the world, to create music that is eclectic yet accessible, personal yet communal, and above all, unique.

For more on MFO’s appearance at Lorne this Saturday, phone QDOS on 5289 1989, for more on the new collective, visit www. listenhearcollective.com

Locals star in stage production TWO OCEAN Grove actors, Bryan Eaton and Ubaldino Mantelli, are starring in Geelong Repertory’s Woodbin Theatre production of The Woman in Black, directed by Kelly Clifford.

The pair was last seen together on the Woodbin stage in the recent popular Irish play The Cripple of Inishmaan. The Woman in Black, a ghost tale set in Victorian England, has captivated audiences around the world, including London’s West End where it has been running for 21 years.

It is not your average horror story; there are none of the usual adjuncts like blood, knives, murder or monsters, just two actors who are on stage for the whole show. It is their words and the lighting and sound effects that stimulate the audience’s imagination to create the horror.

In the story Aurthur Kipps a London lawyer, hires an actor to help him bring to life an event from his youth that traumatized him deeply. It is Kipp’s hope that the telling of his story to family and friends will exorcise the experience from his mind and rid him of persistent nightmares. In retelling the story the actor (Ubaldino Mantelli) plays Kipps and Bryan Eaton plays the other 7 characters in the story.

You can see The Woman in Black at the Woodbin Theatre, Coronation Street, West Geelong until this Saturday (July 10).

For tickets, phone Geelong Pereforming Arts Centre on 5225 1200.

TORQUAY Computers manager extraordinaire, Brad McDermott and his wife, Roya, are celebrating their newest arrival, a baby boy.

The yet-to-be named bundle of joy was born in between virus repairs and computer reinstalls, said Brad, who narrowly made it home from work at Torquay Computers to drive to the hospital, where he delivered the baby himself.

With 16 years of experience in IT and more than a decade in parenting, Brad welcomed the new addition to his brood, which already includes Jack, Callum and Levi. “The new baby snuck up on us. We didn’t

JULY 06 - JULY 12 2010 Your domestic space is chaotic at the moment as people come and go, and change is in the air. It’s time to make your home the best possible place it can be – full of fun, laughter and joie de vivre. Be inspired by birthday great the Dalai Lama “A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation of your life.”

Many Aries are famous for being pioneers in their chosen fields (like Leonardo da Vinci, Marlon Brando, Diana Ross and Gloria Steinem). With Jupiter and Uranus barnstorming through your sign, you’re at your enthusiastic and inventive best as you experiment with fresh approaches to perennial old problems. Go Rams!

Crabs can get stuck in a rut that may be comfortable, but does nothing for your personal growth and professional development. Don’t become so obsessed with security that you are afraid to move forward (especially at work). With Jupiter and Uranus on your side, big ideas and innovative thinking will take you to places you’ve only dreamed of.

Librans long for a luxurious lifestyle but avoid being seduced by the bells and whistles of modern living. Step back from the surface gloss and examine your life on a deeper and more profound level. Don’t let fair-weather friends lead you up the primrose path to trouble (especially on Friday). Let your intuition be your guide.

Is a family member or work colleague pulling the wool over your eyes? Step back and take an objective look at what’s really going on.

Professional projects and close friends are also a messy mix. Follow the advice of John Rockefeller (born on July 8) “A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.”

With Mercury zipping into your sign on Saturday (until July 28) you’ll be at your talkative, mischievous, persuasive best over the next couple of weeks. Single Lions – you’re in the mood for romance but don’t assume things will fall effortlessly into place. Expect a few disappointments before true love comes calling!

Being demanding and domineering will get you nowhere this week Scorpio. Calm cooperation is the way to go – especially at work. Learn to relax and go with the flow, otherwise you’ll end up constantly arguing with others (and thoroughly exhausted). Perhaps it’s time to sample a session of meditation or a spot of yoga?

Are you having problems with a partner (whether they are of the romantic, business or platonic variety)? Drop the “I’m right” attitude Aquarius, and instead hold out the olive branch of peace and cooperation. It’s time to inspire others with your idiosyncratic ideas, and touch them with your humanitarian heart.

Friday through to Sunday are terrific days for Twins, as your mercurial mind is shaken and stirred. You’ll come up with a plethora of pithy lines, as you entertain others with your amusing stories and witty ways. Your conversational skills are firing; your curiosity is piqued; and you’re in the mood to chat up a storm.

The more proactive you are (and the more you network with others) then the better your week will be. Vivacious Venus vamps into your sign on Saturday so say goodbye to your sensible, serious side – and hello to your inner vixen! From now until August 7 is the time to flirt outrageously, party like a pro, and live life to the max.

You’re keen to get ahead at work but, with Mars and Saturn ganging up in your career zone, professional projects have been progressing at a snail’s pace. Things improve from Saturday onwards, when lucky Venus visits your work zone. Sunday is a fabulous day for travel and study, plus re-connecting with overseas contacts.

Have you fallen in love with an angel and placed them on a very high pedestal? The rose-colored glasses come off this week, as Saturn calls for a reality check. You’re in the mood to help others (especially on Friday) but make sure they require your assistance, otherwise you’ll end up playing the role of the unappreciated martyr.

Cream of the crop Ross Slaven (far right) and Mark Richards (back row, second from right) with some of the nation’s best up and coming surfers.

JAN JUC surfing stalwart and Surfing Victoria head coach, Ross Slaven, enjoyed a week working with the cream of Australia’s junior surfing talent at the highly acclaimed Mark Richards surf camp last month.

The camp, which ran at the Surfing Australia High Performance Centre at Casuarina in northern New South Wales, draws together the country’s best up and coming surfers.

The camp was headed up by Australia’s most

famous and most successful male surfer, Mark Richards, who won four world titles back in the early 1980s.

The camp is designed to capture Australia’s best youngsters early and deliver specialised

FROM THE PRO SHOP

HAPPY Birthday to The Sands and what a week it’s been with anniversary celebrations, plenty of fine golf and members making headlines with their performances on the catwalk!

Members enjoyed a great day and night on Saturday with the 6th anniversary golf and dinner at the club.

Players entered a morning or afternoon shotgun start with members vying for the Handbury Trophy, which is awarded to the winning mixed couple in the 4BBB medley event. Members enjoyed an entertaining interview with the current club champion Deyen Lawson who shared some of his more personal thoughts as MC Darrell Brown put the 19-year-old through a 60-second tirade of questions!

The winners on the day were Kathy Simson and Lyndsey Dunstan with 45 points. The Handbury Trophy was awarded to Lynne and Rod Hyett who were very popular winners, also with 45 points.

The week kicked off with the fashion parade, with one of the highlights: statesmen Charles Powell

cutting such a dashing figure in those red checked pants! It was great to see many familiar faces and also those visiting The Sands for the first time.

Men’s competition Despite the course being a little heavy, there were some excellent scores and Shayne Hope won the day with 3 up and won NTP on the 7th. Good to see Malcolm Johnson finding some form, carding 2 up, to finishing runner-up.

On Saturday, the men played a stableford event in the morning with Russell Tate winning on a countback from Liam Buchanan with 39 points.

Women’s competition The women rugged up for the monthly medal in bitterly cold, but fine conditions. In-coming captain Julie Bottomley won the medal with 2 up while Linda Turner had to be content with runner-up with 1 up, and she also won NTP on the 13th. Good to see one

of our new members, Marianne Bridgart winning NTP on the 7th.

Pennant results The men’s pennant teams had a clean sweep on Sunday with all players winning their matches. Div 1 defeated Torquay 7-0 at 13th beach while div 3 travelled to Inverleigh and defeated the host club 5-0.

Div 3 is now a clear leader on the top of the ladder while Div 1 sits in second spot behind 13th beach.

Forthcoming events A reminder to members that application forms are available for those who wish to act volunteers during the Surfcoast PGA Knockout event next January.

Please check the website for more details.

Next week (July 15) the women will hold their Christmas in July. Players will compete in an Irish 3 ball with lunch to follow.

Happy golfing!

Pedal Power LAST Sunday’s daily double of cycling events presented great action for both road and mountain bike riders in so many ways.

With the Pacific Hydro Victorian 100km Road Cycling Championships being held in historic Port Fairy on a technical 2.5km circuit through the lovely town, the 76 riders were treated to spectacular surf views over the wild coastline.

With the event hosting age ranges from the under 19 riders to 50+ masters, it was a crash-marred race that was stopped mid-race while riders were taken to hospital, before continuing at a hot pace with speeds often over 60km/h.

The open road race title was won by highly ranked mountain bike rider Steele Von Hof, with ex-

world BMX champion, Leigh Egan, in second and Dom Dudkiewtz third. Ex-Olympian Steve Fairless finished just behind the placegetters.

Local Bellarine rider, Gary Wearmouth, with his solid cyclo-cross background, was our best placed rider with a third in masters and 9th overall, giving it his all in the final sprint, albeit with limited space.

What an interesting and varied cycling CV from all the highly ranked riders above, this proves that we cannot ‘pigeonhole’ each other as ‘roadies’, Mtb riders etc... For any riders interested in more road cycling participation please call Hendry Cycles on 5255 1627 or see the Victorian Road Cycling website: www.viccycling.org.au The Rocky Riders State Mountain bike Series

FROM THE

mat WITH ANGLESEA BOWLS CLUB

WINTER has certainly arrived in Anglesea, as we observe the mass exodus of locals heading north for warmer weather.

However, there still remains a hardy bunch of bowlers remaining in town. You will see them each Monday, Tuesday and Saturday wearing their coats, scarves, beanies, mittens and even ‘long-johns’.

They may resemble Eskimos, but they are warm and enthusiastically enjoying their game of bowls on the two synthetic ‘all-weather’ greens. Of course, the friendly bar staff are kept busy at the end of the day.

The next Chicken Run will be held on Friday, July 9 at 2.30pm. Could all experienced bowlers (who have not yet headed north) please put your names

down to play. Our limited members would benefit greatly from your encouragement and enthusiasm.

Weather permitting, the Anglesea Bowling Club winter bowls programme (neat casual attire) will be as follows: Monday men’s: commencing at 12.30 pm.

Tuesday women’s: commencing at 11.00 am (BYO lunch) Saturday mixed: commencing at 12.30pm All visiting bowlers are cordially invited to play on these days. Please register your name with the club by 9.30am on the day of play; either in person or by telephoning 5263 1229. You will be made most welcome.

race was held in Castlemaine on Sunday with a very refreshing start in the morning. The race pace was driven high by the ever consistent and talented Van Der Ploeg brothers with Paul winning and brother Neil close behind in third position. In second place, Ben Randall was the only rider to come between the Van Der Ploeg brothers.

The best local placed riders were Ryan Lloyd in 11th, Rohan Smith in 14th and Shane O’Brien in 17th.

The ever-youthful Queenscliff rider Mark Grundy road into 10th placed in B grade against riders half his age. Well done to all local competitors that travelled to these events.

Riders who are interested in mid-week fitness

and own a mountain bike are invited to the Hendry Cycles ‘Rail Trail Rides’ starting again on Tuesday evenings at 6pm.

The rides will definitely help improve participants’ fitness throughout the winter and the knowledgeable cycling environment will provide great tips to help any bike enthusiasts in developing higher cycling skill levels off road as well as the far reaching fitness gains that consistency provides.

These community ‘Rail Trail Rides’ evenings are free and most participants will be able to tackle Hendry’s guided and more advanced off road rides in the nearby Otway Forests as well!

For more details and start locations, please call Hendry Cycles on 5255 1627.

THE SURF Coast teams that took to the ground over this holiday weekend managed to bring home some good results in weather conditions that were a little kinder than those of recent weeks.

FFV Provisional 2 Men: Surf Coast (4) v West Preston (3) The Surf Coast FFV Prov 2 team won an epic encounter 4-3 against third-placed West Preston last weekend, scoring the equaliser and winner after being 2-3 down with 15 minutes to go.

The win maintains the Surf Coast lead at the top of the table, and more importantly now provides an eight-point buffer between Surf Coast and the third-placed team, with the top two winning the rights to promotion at the end of the season.

Women: Surf Coast (2) v Lara (2) No report this week, but the women drew against Lara at Lara. Best on Ground was Bronwyn Baker.

U16 Girls: Surf Coast (4) v Geelong (1) Surf Coast Under 16 girls had a great 4-1 win over Geelong on the weekend in a game with both sides only able to field 10 players with many away on school holidays.

Despite the fact that Geelong boasts a couple of extremely dangerous players who have represented Victoria, Surf Coast’s team work was superb.

All-in-all, another great performance by the Surf Coast girls.

U15 Boys: Surf Coast (4) v Surfside (2) It was a great game from all in a 4-2 win over Surfside, with Gangell being taken to hospital in the first half with a suspected broken foot.

But even playing with 10 men Surf Coast still dominated and topped the game off with an excellent team goal.

and a bench warrant was issued.

He was later found and again bailed to the Dandenong Magistrates Court on February 3, 2010 but once more failed to appear and another bench warrant was issued.

In court today he faced a number of charges, including failing to comply with an order that prevented him from possessing abalone and being in possession of any abalone tool, taking abalone in the closed season, taking more than twice the catch limit, obstructing an authorised officer and two counts of failing to answer bail.

The court heard the man, who has been living in Melbourne for the past two years, had previously engaged with people involved in abalone poaching and heroin use.

Man jailed for stealing abalone

Two Melbourne men are hundreds of dollars out of pocket after exceeding the bag limit for trout and using illegal bait near Buxton, earlier this year.

In March this year, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Fisheries Officers inspected the two men while fishing the Little Stevenson River, one of the men had in his possession 22 trout and other man had 11 – over three times the daily bag / possession limit. Both men were also using trout ova as bait.

Anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity is urged to call the 24-hour reporting line 13-FISH (13 3474).

An abalone thief who skipped bail twice has been sentenced to two months’ jail after appearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

Magistrate Muling heard the 35 year old man was caught with 62 abalone – 28 of them under legal size.

Prosecutor Sofia Jankovic told the court the accused gave a false address when intercepted in the Ricketts Point area, near Black Rock, in February 2008.

She said the man failed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in March last year

OVER my years writing this fishing column I have tried to keep fishermen up to date with all the issues – both good and bad – that relate to our ability to continue to enjoy our rights to fish and help protect those rights.

At times I have been asked why I report on some of the negative aspects of fishing and why I don’t just promote the positive.

What some term as negative by acknowledging issues like that below, I see as a positive, by being prepared to acknowledge that while there are problems caused by those who do fish illegally, we as fishermen do not support those people in anyway.

And how more than ever, especially in today’s environment, we value our rights to fish.

ON THE COAST

World champs come to town GEELONG will play host to the world’s best cyclists later this year for the UCI World Championships.

The event – to be held from September 29 to October 3 – is the largest cycling competition Australia has ever hosted and will bring substantial economic and social benefits to the region.

However, major world events of this complexity and scale cannot be delivered without some impact to our community.

The five days of competition will be contested on a 16-kilometre course through the central and inner south-west areas of Geelong.

UCI regulations require all course roads to be completely closed during race times. There will also be a familiarisation session which will require closed roads on Tuesday, September 28.

Pedestrian traffic will be maintained at all times, and you can still walk to any public part of the course and to every business and residence on the course roads via existing footpaths and marshalled course crossing points about every 400 metres.

Key facts • The competition is contested on a course closed to all public vehicles during race times

• Emergency vehicles will have access to all areas at all times • Pedestrian access is maintained to all areas of the course • Road closures will commence at least two hours prior to the race times • Key intersections will remain open until 45 minutes prior to the start of competition and will open first after the race concludes • Roads will be progressively reopened when the road authority considers it is safe to do so. It is estimated this may take up to two hours after the

race finish A numbers game • 200million: The estimated worldwide television audience • 1,500: The total number of athletes and officials • 90kph: The estimated maximum speed on downhill sections • 50: The approximate number of countries that will compete • 300,000: The number of spectators expected • 5: The number of coloured bands on the world champion’s rainbow jersey.

The perfect way to see the rainforest Falls, which is ideal for families and kids (and can be done either in the daytime or at twilight to see the glow worms).

Either way, all rides are set amidst some of the most spectacular scenery around and take place along quiet, sealed roads in the countryside.

The rides also include a free entry to the Otway Fly Treetop Walk, Cape Otway Lighthouse and plenty of food and event support around the courses.

For more information, visit www. rainforestride.com

DO YOU love your cycling and love good scenery? If so, then the Rainforest Ride is perfect for you.

This is an event that matches magnificent wilderness with a range of challenging and incredibly scenic rides in the Otway Ranges around Apollo Bay on December 11.

The Rainforest Ride is designed to provide something for all levels of rider with the 140-kilometre Rainforest Circuit for the more diehard, a 70km Lighthouse Discovery Ride for recreational riders and an easier 23km ride to Mariners

ON THE COAST

Promoting respect and courtesy

Stephen Draper from Hendry Cycles in Ocean Grove is a member of the Bike Safe group that is determined to address safety hazards on local roads through its campaign.

LOCAL road cyclists have taken an active role in identifying the problems associated with both motorists and cyclists and have put forward positive ideas to make the roads safer for everyone in the region.

The aim of the campaign is to stimulate urgently needed infrastructure maintenance and physical changes so cyclists can share the road with motorists safely. Part of the campaign is also to promote safety messages to cyclists and motorists alike.

The Bike Safe group has been formed as a result of recent increases in poor behaviour towards cyclists, accidents and fatalities involving cyclists and motorists.

Last year there were six cycling fatalities in Victoria – and two were in our region. The group’s primary aim is to promote bike safety throughout the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong regions.

“We have to get past the ‘us and them’ approach… we are all in this together,” said a group spokesperson.

“We are constantly experiencing horror stories between cyclists and cars on the roads in Geelong, Bellarine and the Surf Coast, so our solution has been to come up with positive ideas of how we can share the roads safely.

“When motorists and cyclists

85

Enjoy Le Tour with De Grandi

obey the traffic laws, cycling is safer than most forms of transport and the health benefits greatly overshadow the risks.”

Bike Safe is encouraging cyclists and motorists to show respect and courtesy to one another.

Under the road rules, bicycles are considered to be vehicles and have a right to be on the roads.

Increasing cycling has a range of community benefits. Regular cycling is good for your health and can reduce the risk of disease.

It has low impact on the body, improves cardio vascular fitness, provides better muscle tone, bone mass improvement, clearer skin and helps with personal weight management.

Environmental, economic and social benefits are also clear. Cycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and traffic congestion in our suburbs. By reducing the number of trips made by cars cyclists are making our already congested roads less Most cyclists pay taxes and registration costs on the cars they leave at home, have families and friends and come from all walks of life.

Remember, it could be your brother, sister, son, daughter, parent, grandparent, friend or sporting hero on the bicycle you are passing.

WITH the Tour de France starting last Saturday, De Grandi Cycle and Sport is celebrating the famous race with a host of specials.

La Grande Boucle – the biggest annual spectator event in the world – will see the world’s best cyclists battle it out over 3,642 kilometres throughout the French countryside before finishing in Paris on the Champs Elysees on July 25.

To coincide with Le Tour – which this year boasts a record 11 Australian riders competing – De Grandi has specials on many of the brands ridden and used by this year’s Tour teams.

Included among this are frames by Pinarello (ridden

by Sky and Caisse D’epargne); Wilier (ridden by Lampre-Farnese Vini); Giant (ridden by Rabobank); helmets by Lazer, Bell, Giro and Specialized; groupsets and components by Campagnolo and Shimano; handlebars and headstems by Deda and Most; shoes by Lake; wheels by Campagnolo and Fulcrum; tyres by Vredestein; and heart-rate monitors and GPS systems

by Polar and Garmin.

In store you will also find an extensive range of Tour books and DVDs along with a variety of nutritional products to keep you riding or “awake while watching the race”. Tour footage will also be shown on the big screens in store.

A large range of winter gear is available for those not catching up on sleep after staying up into the early hours watching the Tour, and for those who want to get out and emulate the Tour riders.

For more information, phone De Grandi Cycle and Sports on 5221 5099, drop into the store at 419 Moorabool Street, Geelong, or visit www.degrandi.com.au

Visit magnificent landmarks like the Otway Fly, Cape Otway Lighthouse, Maits Rest rainforest walk and Mariners Falls as part of this iconic road ride event.
