WE’RE BACK Portarlington mussel farmers back in business following bumper crop

BY ALISON MARTIN THE BELLARINE’S first harvest of hatcherygrown mussels has started and the local industry is back on track to re-establishing itself as a key player in Australia’s seafood production.

Portarlington mussel farmer, Lance Wiffen, said the mussel harvest, which had been grown at the Department of Primary Industries hatchery in Queenscliff and then transferred to the mussel farms off Portarlington, had huge potential.

Wiffen said not only were Portarlington mussels back on the Australian menu, but the revived Bellarine industry would “be a force to be reckoned with”.

“We have just started harvesting the first lot from the hatchery and probably won’t finish until August next year,” he said.

“It’s early days but we expect to at least double production from last year. We hope to go from 200-tonne to about 500-tonne.”

The Bellarine mussel industry had been threatened by a significant decline in wild spat (baby mussels) in Port Phillip Bay, with several mussel farmers forced to abandon their businesses.

Surviving farmers scaled down operations to remain in the industry, however, without the availability of large quantities of Victorian mussels, existing customers had no option but to find other suppliers.

Wiffen said the success in the hatchery had provided the opportunity for the farmers involved in the government-industry initiative to regain their share of the market and more.

“It’s exciting times to be part of the loop again; we were out of it for a while,” he said.

“We have been meeting with four or five big interstate mussel growers to expand the Australian market. It’s really positive.”

Wiffen said despite the lack of wild spat production, his company, Sea Bounty, had been able to continue selling mussels off the boat at Gem Pier in Williamstown and last week it had been named one of the top farm gates in Victoria.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, welcomed the news.

Neville said the significant resurgence achieved through the hatchery, had been funded jointly by the government’s $205million Future Farming Strategy and the industry.

“Aquaculture is such an important part of the Bellarine region and the mussel industry has faced some bleak times,” she said.

Mr Mussel’s Jenny Gallop, who has not been involved in the hatchery project but has continued to operate a scaled-down mussel growing and retail business, said plans for next year’s Mussel Festival at Portarlington were well under way.

The restoration of Portarlington’s historic rotunda has started, with project manager, Tom Leggatt, and City of Greater Geelong councillor, John Doull, pleased with the progress. Turn to page 7 for details of the rotunda revitalisation. Photo: ALISON MARTIN

Geelong Clinic Provides Treatment for Snoring Most Australian joke about it but the fact is that snoring can have many detrimental side effects.

Socially it can be a severe embarrassment and a major irritation to the snorer’s partner.

In fact recent studies by the Mayo clinic in the USA found the partner of a severe snorer can lose two hours sleep every night. As a result, separate room sleeping arrangements become a way of life for many snorers and their partners.

“This doesn’t surprise me” said Dr Klein of My Sleep Clinic, “given that many studies show that snoring can often exceed 80 decibels which is equivalent to the sound of a passing train.”

Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnoea and also lead to tiredness and other health related problems including, poor memory and concentration, reduced energy levels diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, depression and lack of libido.

“Snoring is more than just a nuisance,” said Dr Klein, “ because of the serious impacts on health, wellbeing and relationships, it should be treated rather than tolerated.”

Sleep experts are very concerned about the growing number of ineffective and unproven treatments that are available.

They are seeing many patients who have tried sprays, strips, nasal inserts and breathing techniques which have had no benefits what so ever in treating their snoring or tiredness.

A majority of people affected by snoring are unaware that there are proven solutions available and they don’t have to put up with the problem anymore.

The team at My Sleep Clinic includes a sleep physician, dentists specialising in dental appliances, a sleep scientist and a sleep psychologist.

To make an enquiry or to book an appointment call My Sleep Clinic on 5273 4644

“To date, our treatment has provided immediate relief in over 93% of the patients treated.

Patients report better sleep and improved energy levels almost immediately – for themselves and their partner” said Dr Klein.

Queenscliff Harbour and mooring grounds

Bellarine Times

Parks Victoria recently presented a series of options on the development of mooring facilities at Queenscliff, both in Swan Bay to the west of the Swan Island bridge and in the area east of the bridge adjacent to the Queenscliff Cruising Yacht Club. They have also proposed options to the management of moorings in this area and outlined possible future studies and plans.

Council has been engaged in negotiations with Parks Victoria and Queenscliff Harbour, advocating for a better deal for Couta Classic Heritage boat owners and other local people covered by the moratorium who will be affected by the changes in mooring arrangements and the currently proposed fee increases.

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for 9.30am on Saturday, June 5 at the Queenscliff Town Hall for council to inform affected residents and ratepayers of this information and other advice we have received. Everyone is invited to attend.

Community bank a step closer

BY ALISON MARTIN BARWON Heads is nearing a significant milestone in its bid to secure a community bank, with more than $700,000 in capital funds now pledged.

Community Bank steering committee chair, Heather McCarthy, said the project to open a bank was well on its way to meeting the requirements of the first stage of the process.

She said the Barwon Heads Community Bank Project had 265 pledgees, representing a broad base of the community. “The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank would like us to have at least 300 pledgees, with a minimum start-up capital of $750,000 pledged,� McCarthy said. “This would be indicative of strong community support and mutual understanding for the project, the major premise upon which Community Banks are based on.�

She said indicative pledges of support would be accepted right up until the prospectus was issued. “We are at an important and exciting stage,� she said. “The next part of the process is getting ready for the feasibility study which will be undertaken by independent consultants. “Each person who has made a pledge will be sent a survey to complete, plus there will be random one-on-one interviews and random surveys of people in the street. “The results of these surveys will be analysed, and if favourable a prospectus will be developed and issued. “Our site committee has had a positive response to the expressions of interest to locate suitable premises for our Community Bank.

THE POPULARITY and success of last year’s Ocean Grove Live Music Festival is set to be replicated this month – but even bigger and better.

Organisers have more than 100 entries in the open mic-style event, which will be presented across five stages throughout the long weekend from Friday, June 11 to Monday, June 14.

The festival will showcase the diversity of the region’s emerging artists and popular local performers, along with Saturday night’s headline act, Melbourne’s Rockbottom James and Quadrajet.

Festival spokesperson, John Bowman, from the Piping Hot Chicken Shop, said the winter event would offer great entertainment and would promote Ocean Grove’s huge music culture. “There is just so much talent in Ocean Grove; musically the town has a lot going on and it will get the locals out of their bedrooms and onto the stage,� he said. “We did it last year and it was really popular. It’s about unearthing the talent, and everyone loves the opportunity to perform.�

Bowman said the Ocean Grove festival had received support from the Airey’s Inlet Open Mic Festival organisers in bringing it together, along with ongoing support from the regular attendees at the Bardeli and Ocean Grove Hotel open mic nights.

This year the Ocean Grove Hotel will be added to last year’s venues, along with Bardeli, Necta Bar, Zebra Bar and the Piping Hot Chicken Shop. “Everybody is encouraged to perform a 30-minute set and can register by sending an email to openmic@bigpond.com or pick up a registration form from one of the venues,� Bowman said.

BELLARINE residents have been called on to provide their views on their regional library service to assist it improve services, programmes and facilities.

The Geelong Regional Library Corporation has launched a region-wide survey which is open to all residents of the Borough of Queenscliffe and City of Greater Geelong.

Feedback is sought from library users as well as people who do not currently use libraries, so there are two survey forms available – one for library users and one for non-users. Surveys must be completed

by Sunday, June 13.

The last survey was carried out in 2007 and its results have supported a wide range of improvements to GRLC services, programmes and facilities.

Over the past two years, the library has introduced larger book, CD and DVD collections; more lifelong learning programmes and special events; more preschool storytime sessions; increased numbers of internet computers for public use; implementation of self-checkout at some libraries; the provision of a greater range of electronic databases, services and e-books including the introduction of Your Tutor; and an extension of opening hours at four libraries.

GRLC chair and City of Greater Geelong councillor, Rod Macdonald, encouraged all members of the community, current and prospective users of the library, to provide information on “what we are doing well and the areas in which we can do better�. “We value community input as it enables the board to plan effectively for future services and facilities� he said.

Survey forms for library users are available at libraries or online at: www.ijman.com.au/ grlclibraryuser.htm or for people who do not use Geelong Regional Library services go to www. ijman.com.au/grlclibrarynonuser.htm For more information visit www.geelonglibraries. vic.gov.au

Mobile library staff, Laurie Black and Katherine O’Neill, visit Portarlington, Indented Head and Portarlington and have survey forms available. Surveys can also be completed at other libraries across the Bellarine.

Council support for McAdam Park THE CITY of Greater Geelong has voted to allocate $10,000 to the Geelong Motocross Club to assist with the further development of plans of plans and designs at the McAdam Park site at Barrabool.

A resolution adopted by council at last week’s meeting noted that the club had asked that $660,000 remaining from an initial council allocation of $800,000 should be used to support facility developments at McAdam Park.

The resolution adopted this week recommends that council consider deferring the Motocross

Club request until the club presents a more detailed proposal, and until land use issues at McAdam Park are fully resolved.

Mayor, John Mitchell, said a study undertaken by council officers regarding the future of motor cycling sports with the City of Greater Geelong and adjoining municipalities were limited.

He said the resolution adopted this week noted that support for McAdam Park was the most effective manner in which council could assist the club and the sport of motocross in the region.

These grants are made up of $US 3000 from the Foundation and 40 hours of labour towards a project from Alcoa Anglesea. One of this year’s grants is going to the Anglesea Men’s Shed, which will be co-located on the current Anglesea Bowling Club site. A men’s shed is a place where blokes can get together to

take part in a wide range of activities, from simply socialising, to working on community building projects, or whatever else the group or individual member decides. Membership enquiries can be made at the Anglesea Community House. Another ACTION grant recipient this year is the Loveridge Lookout restoration project that is being managed by the Friends of Loveridge Lookout group. Their aim is to restore this iconic Anglesea art deco lookout overlooking the Great Ocean Rd and local beaches to its former glory. We are looking forward to undertaking our working bees with both these groups in the coming months.

Last week’s programme at The Potato Shed included the Australian Army Band, which performed for the public and a separate performance for local students, including Saint Ignatius Secondary College music students and Year 7 students Adison Krizmanic, Calum Sutherland, Kristy Vale, Raymond Butler and Manon Collier.

Potato Shed’s $8m plan Solar Power THE BELLARINE’s popular performing arts venue, The Potato Shed, is set for an $8million redevelopment, subject to securing funding.

City of Greater Geelong councillors have endorsed a business plan for a major redevelopment of the popular performance space at Drysdale but external funding will be required.

The expansion and upgrade would include: • New multi-purpose adaptable black box theatre space (250 retractable seats) • Reconfiguration of the existing theatre space so that it can be used as a single space or two individual spaces

• New music lab/green room, dressing room and amenities • New back of house spaces (wings, etc) • Partial upgrade of existing critical services • Partial fit-out of existing spaces to meet functional and operational requirements • New technical equipment and fit-out • Improved car parking CoGG councillor, Jan Farrell, said The Potato Shed was widely regarded as a model partnership between local government and secondary schools, St Ignatius College Geelong and the Bellarine Secondary College.

Installation

“The Potato Shed plays a significant role in the cultural, social and educational development of the Bellarine Peninsula community,� she said. “The variety of events and diversity of user groups – including the large number of student users makes this venue a really important community asset. “The Bellarine’s population is expected to increase by more than 50 per cent over the next 20 years so it’s crucial that we have the community facilities in place to cater for this growth.�

The Potato Shed currently gets more than 90,000 visits every year and cannot take all bookings.

Helping make life better

Barwon Heads water supply

BALANCING leisure and life is a challenge and the Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association is planning to address some contributing issues.

DCSCA secretary Patrick Hughes said local residents knew the importance of taking time out from their busy lives and that staying active helped to keep them healthy. “However, it’s becoming harder to find open spaces for recreation, because urbanisation is replacing them; and it’s becoming harder to find forms of recreation and leisure that don’t involve spending money,� he said.

The DCSCA public meeting will explore “Recreation and Leisure in Our Community: what could make life better in Drysdale and Clifton Springs?�, featuring speakers from the Clifton Springs Men’s Shed, Youth Foundations Victoria and Parks Victoria.

The meeting starts at 7pm at SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre and more information is available at drycliftdays.blogspot.com

BARWON Water will temporarily alter the water supply arrangement to Barwon Heads during overnight work on the Barwon Heads bridge this week.

The work will be carried out over two nights, beginning tomorrow at 8pm through to 6am on Thursday, and from 8pm on Thursday through to 6am on Friday.

During this time, customers may experience reduced water pressure or slightly discoloured water, however, the water is safe and will clear over time.

Barwon Heads is normally supplied from the Ocean Grove system via a water main suspended across the bridge. During the overnight work, water will be supplied via a water main from Mount Duneed.

Customers are requested to limit water use during this time.

For more information, phone Barwon Water on 1300 656 007.

Portarlington is preparing for the biggest annual event, with international visitors and bands on their way.

THE ANNUAL Macaulay, Allen and Friends Art Show will be presented in Portarlington on June 12 and 13, coinciding with the National Celtic Festival.

Local artist and Port Arts Network member, Jenny Macaulay, said the show would feature works in a variety of mediums including pastel, acrylic, oil and watercolour.

She said visitors would also be inspired by a selection of sculptures created from glass, mosaic, wood and recycled metals.

Ferry survey demand ON THE eve of a public forum to discuss the proposed Bellarine-Melbourne ferry project, Liberal Candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, has demanded the release of survey results on ferry usage, started almost a year ago. “Funding from a number of government departments for a survey into feasibility of usage was announced in June,� Reiter said. “The cost was approximately $60,000 and results were promised in November 2009, then again in April 2010 and we are now in May with no sign of release. “We expect an overwhelming turnout on Wednesday night of residents from right across the Bellarine. The purpose of this meeting is to be as informed as possible and it makes sense to have the results of this report at hand. “After almost a year after the survey was conducted it is reasonable to expect analysis and

conclusions have been made to complete the report. “On behalf of residents, community groups and progress associations, I formally request Lisa Neville facilitates the release the results of this survey prior to the community’s public forum this week. “I would also ask Ms Neville if she sees the Safe Harbour Project going ahead this year and if she sees the Bellarine-Melbourne Ferry as a priority.�

The survey was part of a comprehensive study of potential users and involved random community input across Bellarine communities as well as questionnaires sent to local Melbourne communters.

Reiter will host the Bellarine Ferry Forum tomorrow, Wednesday June 2, at 7pm at Parks Hall, Portarlington.

Bellarine Bayside, your local foreshore manager, is responsible for the management of 24km of foreshore and Crown asset infrastructure between Point Richards and Edwards Point. We operate Portarlington Seaside

The post and rails will continue around the whole park, with one road remaining to traverse across the park and provide easy access to the playground, BBQ and toilets.

Little’s Reserve Playground Turning new from old, Bellarine Bayside’s crew have painstakingly restored the play equipment in Little’s Reserve. The two main sections of the playground are completed with work now turning to the remaining smaller play areas.

Portarlington Foreshore Walking & Cycle Trail Works are about to begin on linking the Pier to Sproat Street with a dedicated walking and cycle trail separated from the Foreshore Road. Local contractor PJT McMahon will be undertaking the work with sections of the foreshore fenced off due to the heavy machinery and construction works that will be taking place.

Christmas fundraiser aims to warm the house

BY ALISON MARTIN AS TEMPERATURES have dropped and winter has set in, Portarlington Neighbourhood House has been forced to temporarily cancel evening classes until heating is installed.

However, the committee of management is hoping to secure a grant, boosted with local fundraising, to provide a permanent solution to the centre’s heating and cooling dilemma.

The house, which opened last year in the Masonic Hall, has rapidly grown into a wellutilised community hub, with space for small and large activities, office, computer room and diverse programme of courses.

PNH committee of management president, Lorraine Stokes, said the lack of heating for the large hall and other class areas had become an issue for participants attending courses and activities at night in recent weeks. “I have a responsibility for the health and wellbeing of the local community members who attend the neighbourhood house and it’s just too cold at night,� Stokes explained.

She said the committee had been provided several quotes for adequate heating and cooling which ranged up to $16,000. “We are in the process of applying for a grant but we will need to contribute funds to cover the total cost,� she said. “The Neighbourhood House will present

BRRRRR! The many local residents who attend classes, courses and activities at Portarlington’s Neighbourhood House will host a ‘Christmas in July’ fundraiser with all proceeds going towards heating and cooling of the community centre.

Christmas in July as our major fundraiser and we are currently asking any businesses to support us by donating goods for our silent auction.�

The fundraiser will be held on July 17, with trivia, silent auction, entertainment by the Brown Street Band and a possible visit by Santa.

Any business able to donate goods or residents interested in booking a table of six can contact Portarlington Neighbourhood House on 5259 2290.

Christmas in July will be held at the neighbourhood house in Brown Street – so guests are advised to rug up.

Rotunda restoration begins RESTORATION works have started on Portarlington’s historic band rotunda in Newcombe Street.

Jointly funded by the City of Greater Geelong and State Government, the rotunda restoration is an important part of the Portarlington town square renewal project.

Works to structurally rectify and restore the rotunda will include replacing existing timber flooring with concrete slab and new timber flooring and re-bracing existing timber posts.

The rotunda’s internal walls will be relined, rewiring will be completed and the historic icon will be painted inside and out.

Coryule Ward councillor, John Doull, said the restoration would give rotunda a new lease on life. “Over the past 30 years, the rotunda structure has gradually worsened, but once these works are complete it will be as good as new,� he said. “The restoration will provide Portarlington with a new attraction in the town centre that will no doubt economically benefit the region through increased visitation. “The rotunda will be complemented by a renewed town centre, thanks to the Portarlington Town Square Renewal Project. “I’m sure I speak on behalf of the people of Portarlington when I say I am very excited to see these works finally under way.�

Seniors enter technology age OCEAN Grove seniors will discover you’re never too old to benefits from the latest technology, thanks to a new workshop at the Ocean Grove and District Men’s Shed.

The men’s shed has received a grant to conduct Telstra Connected Senior mobile phone and internet training workshops.

The grant is part of Telstra’s $3million, three-year Connected Seniors programme which helps older Australians make the most of new communications technology.

The workshops will be held at Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre on days to be determined by participants.

Seniors Connect co-ordinator at the shed, Bruce Ward, said the educational workshops would help lead to new and improved social opportunities and the discovery of new interests and hobbies for seniors.

“New communications technology will be easy to learn through the tailored Telstra Connected Seniors Programmes,” he said.

“At the workshops we will learn how to send and receive photos via mobile phones and internet tasks, such as paying bills online without having to leave home, leaving more time for ourselves, our family and friends.”

Telstra’s area general manager for Geelong and the Surf Coast, Jodi Manion, said the workshops would help open up a new world of information and communication for local seniors.

For further details about the Ocean Grove and District Men’s Shed, contact Bruce Ward on 5255 2827 or visit www.telstraseniors. com.au for information on the new programme.

Jodi Manion and Bruce Ward check out some of the latest technology on offer.

ROTARY Club Highton Kardinia, the Kids Plus Foundation and Bellarine Railway are celebrating the success of this year’s Fun Run with Thomas on the Bellarine Rail Trail.

The unique fun run raised a total of $16,664 to provide an intensive therapy programme ‘at no cost to families’ for babies and children with Cerebral Palsy, brain injury or stroke.

Rotary Club Highton Kardinia spokesperson, Deb Fribbons, said the event was a huge success with record numbers of families and children participating, unprecedented support from sponsors such as Bellarine Railway, City of Greater Geelong, and hundreds of volunteers from the broader community who contributed their time to assist the event’s organisation.

Kids Plus spokesperson, Lisa Kingman, said the local charity hoped the fun run would raise $6,000 because that amount would provide one child intensive weekly therapy for a year.

“We were completely blown away by the actual result and it means more special needs children across the Geelong region will be able to realise the daily functional things we all take for granted like eating, walking, self care and ultimately independence,” she said.

We’re off to see the wizard

BY ALISON MARTIN FOLLOW the yellow brick road over the rainbow with the GSODA Junior Players this month when they take you on a magical journey to see The Wizard of Oz. The premier youth theatre company, Geelong Society of Operatic and Dramatic Arts, will present the all-time classic musical at the refurbished Playhouse Theatre at Geelong Performing Arts Centre, marking the 70th anniversary of the iconic film.

GSODA’s talented performers, aged 10 to 17, will retell the tale of Dorothy and her quest to find herself and her way back home to Kansas.

She will meet the Scarecrow, Tinman, Cowardly Lion and all the characters of Oz along the way, with many family favourite songs featured throughout the spectacular theatrical performance.

The stunning, colourful costumes and sets have all been created by parents and friends of the GSODA cast and the show is certain to delight and inspire the audience.

GSODA was formed more than 40 years ago in Geelong and presents two major productions each year.

The young performers audition to join the society’s workshops and are then given an opportunity to audition for the music theatre company, which involves a maximum of 65 cast members.

Each production requires five months’ of rehearsals and performers sacrifice a great deal of time to follow their passion for dance and theatre.

GSODA was the starting point for actor, Guy Pearce and opera singer Peter ColemanWright, and many other successful performers and directors.

The Wizard of Oz will be directed by SadatJon Hussain, choreographed by Jules Hart and Tara Kelly, with vocal direction by Kirstin

$1.8m expansion GEELONG Lutheran College’s major $1.8million expansion at its Mount Duneed campus is on schedule to be completed in September and ready for use during term four.

College principal, Gary Jewson, said the new building project, which included new classrooms for the junior school and a range of other facilities, was part of the school’s masterplan but had been brought forward by about three years.

He said the college had planned to build the second stage at a later date but the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution allocation to the Lutheran College had enabled the project to be built this year.

“We will start another school-funded building project to provide a specialist science wing for the middle school in September, as the BER project is completed,” Jewson said.

“We are taking enrolments from Prep to Year 9 in 2011 but we will already be fully set up for primary and secondary.”

However, he said the college would continue developing as the region’s population increased to ensure it would be able to cater comprehensibly for growth across all year levels, through to Year 12 by 2014.

To arrange a tour of the college or inquire about enrolments, contact Gary Jewson and staff on 5264 1038.

Give the big O the heave-ho JUST about every answer I get from my clients when I ask them what they want to achieve is to lose weight.

It is great more people are trying to lose weight and improve their health, yet if most of us made some changes to our lifestyle, being overweight or obese wouldn’t be as big an issue as what it is today.

With six out of 10 adult Australians now classified as being overweight or obese we are seeing increasing rates of chronic diseases associated with obesity including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, just to name a few.

Apart from the impact on our health, there is a huge cost on the economy with the latest figures from the Australian Medical Association stating that excessive weight and obesity is costing Australia more than $21billion a year.

The good news is that we can do something about this simply by changing some basic lifestyle

habits and as a result we will feel healthier, have more energy and best of all lose weight.

Here are four basic principals you can incorporate into your lifestyle that will help you lose weight and feel good: Eat good food Diet contributes to around 80 per cent of weight management. Eliminate or minimise bad foods like sugar, saturated fats, soft drinks, takeaway and processed foods.

Increase the amount of good foods into your diet like fruit and vegetables, lean meats, low fat dairy, whole grains and unsaturated fats like nuts and seeds. (Yes you can have a piece of chocolate or a glass of wine everyday, but try to eat well most of the time).

Eat for your lifestyle Basically this means that if you don’t move too

Women called to take part in study WOMEN throughout the state are being called on to take part in an international breast cancer intervention survey.

The study is seeking postmenopausal women aged between 40 and 70 with a family history of breast cancer to take part to find out if breast cancer can be prevented.

To be eligible for the study women need to be at increased risk because of a family history of breast cancer, or other risk factors such as certain non cancerous breast conditions – women must not have already had invasive breast cancer.

The study is being co-ordinated by Australian New Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group and eight hospitals and clinics in Victoria are participating.

IBIS-II is the first trial to investigate whether the breast cancer treatment drug anastrozole can prevent breast cancer in postmenopausal women at higher risk of developing the disease.

Women joining the study take a tablet a day for five years. They have a bone mineral density scan and regular mammograms. They also have clinical check-ups twice a year in the first year and once a year in the following four years.

Worldwide the study is seeking 10,000 women, with 5,400 women having already joined, including 650 Australian and New Zealand women, but more volunteers are needed.

In Australian women, breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer diagnosed and the leading

cause of death from cancer.

Approximately 240 Australian women are diagnosed with breast cancer every week, and every week 50 die from this disease.

Researchers are hoping this study will find that anastrozole can prevent breast cancer and reduce the prevalence of breast cancer world-wide.

Eat often Try to eat six times a day with three small meals and three healthy snacks.

This will increase your metabolism and regulate blood sugar levels. It will also help avoid over-eating.

Exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes Exercising helps burn off any excess food or ‘naughty treats’ you may have eaten, makes your heart, bones, and muscles stronger, and also increases your metabolism.

Remember the harder and longer you can exercise the better, and try to exercise at around 70 to 80 per cent maximum effort.

New campaign aims to raise awareness ARE YOU at risk of kidney disease is the theme of a new Kidney Health Australia television campaign.

Launched last month, the campaign aims to alert Australians at increased risk of kidney disease to see their GP, request a kidney health check and visit a new website, www. checkmykidneys.com.au Kidney Health Australia chief executive officer and managing director, Anne Wilson, said the national awareness campaign highlights the need for early detection of chronic kidney disease aimed at the 1.7million Australians who have some level of kidney disease and do not even know it. “People can lose up to 90 per cent of kidney function without feeling sick and then quickly end up on dialysis,� she said.

Research shows 27 per cent of people going onto dialysis have not seen a kidney specialist related to their disease until less than three months prior to their kidneys failing. “Chronic kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable. Those at increased risk need to see their GP and ask for a kidney health check which involves having a few simple diagnostic tests.�

People in the following categories are at high risk of kidney disease: • Diabetes • High blood pressure • Family history of kidney disease • Over 50 years of age • Smoker • Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent For more information, visit www.kidney. org.au

Practice the art of living

BY ELEANOR WOODS MORE than two decades ago Jean Bohuslav woke up and thought: There must be more to life than this.

Fast track to today, Bohuslav continues to find the answers and assist others in doing so by offering free meditation and philosophy classes in Torquay.

“When I first began learning meditation about 20 years ago some people were very wary of it.

Now days more and more people are realising there is so much benefit to it,” Bohuslav said.

Meditation, according to Bohuslav, is “life changing”.

“This work helps us stay calm and act with full awareness,” she said.

Originally from Melbourne, Bohuslav was a co-founder of a philosophy academy before retiring to Torquay and continuing to plant the seed of knowledge.

“I kept the class free because I know the benefits of meditation,” she said.

“Someone taught me and so I am lucky to be able to pass it on.

“There are many ways to learn from the deep stillness that we find in meditation, not only while sitting in with the eyes shut, but all the time, whatever we are doing.”

The class addresses bad habits that take people away from having a peaceful mind and help the group focus on “being present”.

“The classes are basically for beginners to give them a grounding,” she said.

The free classes are held at Torquay’s Crowne Plaza on Wednesdays from 10am until 12pm and on Thursdays from 7pm until 9pm.

If anyone is interested in taking part in the free meditation and practical philosophy classes, phone Jean Bohuslav on 5264 7494.

Meditation and practical philosophy teacher Jean Bohuslav encourages Surf Coast residents to practice the ancient art.

Hartle’s service recognised BARWON Health’s Veteran liaison officer, Stephen Hartle, has become the first nonveteran to be awarded the Meritorious Certificate.

The award was presented by Department of Veterans’ Affairs deputy commissioner, Mike O’Meara, and the secretary of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Ian Campbell, at Veterans’ Affairs Head Office in Melbourne.

Hartle received the award for his commendable work as liaison between the veteran community and Barwon Health.

He has equipped Barwon Health staff with a greater understanding of the veteran community and their important contribution to this country.

Hartle believes the success would not have been possible without the team work implemented by Barwon Health Staff.

The esteemed award was presented in recognition of Hartle’s service to veterans, particularly in promotion of Barwon Health’s Gold Card Total Care programme.

“It’s a pleasure to serve the veterans community through my role at Barwon Health. Australia owes a huge debt to veterans and war widows,” he said.

“The Gold Card Total Care programme allows us the chance to give back to those veterans who sacrificed themselves, to offer us tour excellent quality of life.”

For further information on the Barwon Health Gold Card Total Care programme, phone Stephen Hartle on 5260 3351.

For the best financial advice

IN FEBRUARY this year Davidsons Accountants and Financial Advisors relocated to the Davidsons Business Centre at 6 Walker Street, Torquay.

The newly renovated building has provided a professional workspace, including offices and meeting rooms to allow the growing team to better service the Torquay and Surf Coast community.

IT IS rather an understatement to say that markets over the past few weeks have been volatile – take the Dow Jones index in the United States as an example.

Since the high of April 26 the average daily move has been 260 points – or about 2.5 per cent – and every single day during that period experienced a move greater than 130 points Additionally, 65 per cent of those trading days had moves greater than 200 points with the infamous 1,000 point ‘flash crash’ day included in the mix.

These really are incredible statistics.

A 200-point, or 2 per cent move, in the Dow Jones in isolation is significant in itself, but so many in such a concentrated period of time is extraordinarily rare.

This type of churning is typical of a topping process and is reminiscent of the weeks leading up to the violent falls seen in stockmarkets during 2008.

To give this even greater historical perspective, the

recent volatility bears a striking resemblance to stockmarket action prior to the Great Depression falls of 1929.

Mainstream commentary, however, remains largely unconvinced that these falls are anything other than a normal, healthy correction.

Investor nervousness is generally dismissed as the lingering effects of the gut-wrenching ‘flash crash’ or to unwarranted worries about Europe.

What is interesting about the ‘flash crash’ in particular, is the inability of investors, authorities and the general public to accept that such a market move could occur without some cause or trigger.

That the ‘flash crash’ was not an error but quite simply caused by a profound lack of buyers, is reinforced by subsequent ‘normal’ trading that resulted in a new market low.

We believe this is quite ominous for the future direction of the market.

Fairtrade featured @ Smudge

BY ALISON MARTIN A COFFEE at Pako’s Caffe Smudge is so much more than simply a superb latte, long black or flat white; it’s good for your soul.

Caffe Smudge has long boasted its reputation for delicious home-style cakes and slices, special glutenfree selection, scrumptious lunches, homemade icecream and gelato.

The inviting retro ambience is always appealing and there is always the choice of relaxing inside where it’s warm and welcoming or escape to the private courtyard to enjoy the open air.

A delicious menu for all the right reasons at Caffe Smudge.

However, what really sets Caffe Smudge apart from many cafes is the Fairtrade coffee, served for your enjoyment, and the support it provides to developing overseas communities.

Smudge owner, Mary Budd, said the coffee served and sold at Caffe Smudge is from East Timor, the Jasper decaffeinated coffee is from Peru and the Fairtrade tea leaves in the shop are from Waghi Valley in New Guinea or from Assam in India. “This coffee is produced by a union of 16 affiliated Organic Certified co-operatives in the Maubisse region. Collectively this represents about 19,000 member farmers under the name Co-operative CafĂŠ Timor,â€? she said.

The revenue from the co-op is used to fund a range of essential support including health care to the 11,5000 farmers’ families, and skills and equipment to assist their business.

Caffe Smudge also stocks a range of other Fairtrade coffee, teas and chocolate including Columbia excelsior instant coffee, Nicaraguan coffee and Ethiopian coffee.

Under Organic Fairtrade rules, farmers and growers are given a fair price and guaranteed income; financial support by contributing towards the costs of organic inspections; technical training; agreed employment framework for workers which respects their human rights and promotes good working conditions and a social and community fund.

Enjoy a coffee, lunch or treat at Caffe Smudge at 197 Pakington Street, Geelong West or phone 5229 1858 to find out more about the Fairtrade selection.

A Jack of all trades Warning on water

Graeme ‘Jacko’ Jackman retires from his role as the ‘go-to’ Torquay handyman.

TORQUAY bid farewell to its ‘original handyman’ recently, when Graeme ‘Jacko’ Jackman retired.

Staff at Torquay Mitre 10 held a morning tea last week to acknowledge the man, his business and contribution to the community.

Owner Evan Crick said ‘Jacko’ was known and loved around Torquay and would be sorely missed.

“You have been a special part of our business and of local people’s lives. Yours are some big shoes to fill,” Crick said in a presentation to the Jack of all trades.

“I have been working since I was 14. That’s 50 years,” Jacko said.

“I’ve had enough. It was so nice the last few days to just do what I wanted to do and not have to be anywhere at any time.

“Thank you everyone. It’s been fun.”

Jacko and his wife, Lorraine, plan on travelling around Australia.

SOUTHERN Rural Water is warning landowners that they must stick to the conditions of their bore licence.

The corporation has investigated a number of complaints recently about domestic and stock bore water being used for commercial purposes.

Domestic and stock bores can only be used for certain purposes, including water for the house, a kitchen garden and watering pets, cattle or other stock.

“They cannot be used to provide water for dairies, piggeries, feedlots, poultry or any other intensive stock enterprise,” said manager groundwater and rivers, Craig Parker.

“Neither can they be used for any sort of commercial purpose including irrigation or commercial water supply.

Anyone with concerns about inappropriate use can phone 1300 139 510.

have your say

Time to speak up Dear Editor, In last week’s edition of the Bellarine Echo, there appeared an advertisement for a planning permit to construct a building at 1 Beacon Boulevard, Torquay.

As the advertisement was quite small and the applicant’s name Peninsula Planning Consultants, this application would have largely gone unnoticed.

The fact of the matter is that this application refers to a huge 6,000m2 Bunnings Warehouse right at the entrance to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road.

The Surf Coast Shire had announced that any application from Bunnings would have to be advertised and that council would seek comments from local residents.

I urge all Surf Coast residents to ask themselves is this really what was intended for Torquay when the West Coast Business Park was planned?

And if this is allowed to go ahead at our entrance to the Surf Coast, who will be next? Harvey Norman, Supercheap Auto, Rays Outdoors etc.

If you are concerned about this proposal please contact the Surf Coast Shire Council officers and councillors right now, and have your say.

Evan Crick Torquay

RACV is not the arrogant one Dear Editor, Kettles and pots came immediately to mind when reading councillor Remenyi’s description of the RACV as arrogant.

My dictionary defines arrogant as “overbearing; presumptuous; aggressively haughty” – a somewhat accurate description of the recent behaviour exhibited by our council members.

How else would you describe the decision to increase our rates by 6.9 per cent and add an extra $20 to the municipal charge.

Why are they doing this? To help fund the $19.7million to commence work on the Civic and Community Precinct and the Torquay Works Depot.

That’s right, “to commence work”, who knows how much it will finally cost?

What description would you use to describe the ignoring of the wishes of the Jan Juc community in relation to the footpaths?

As for the reason for councillor Remenyi’s umbrage, the RACV has the gall to ask for stormwater runoff that would only end up back in the sea.

The Victorian Government’s Central Region Sustainable Water Strategy recommends harvesting 50 per cent of stormwater where it flows through a stream.

The RACV wants less than this.

Councillor Remenyi suggests the RACV could commence its other works while waiting for approval on the water – presumptuous accurately describes this attitude.

If the good councillor took the time to examine what the RACV is doing he would realise certain work has to be completed before other work can commence.

In order for this to occur water needs to be secured.

The Surf Coast’s attitude to this proposed development is unnecessarily delaying a facility to Torquay that will increase employment and improve the quality of life.

Yes, arrogant is an apt description, but not of the RACV. Michael Lunney Jan Juc

Well done Homestead Lakes Dear Editor, Congratulations to TLC Homestead Lakes, the dedicated staff, the volunteers, the fantastic volunteer band and singers for providing residents with fantastic monthly supper dances.

The residents have lots of fun and a wonderful time in a friendly, happy environment.

I would encourage family members of the residents to attend these monthly supper dances and join in the evening.

Push continues for standalone high school Dear Editor, Concerned Parents About Torquay-Surfcoast Schooling (CPATSS) is a group of concerned parents who have formed recently to gain more information and support broad community consultation about future schooling developments in the Torquay-Surf Coast region.

The need for secondary education is long overdue

and many people over a 20 year or longer period have worked on this issue. The community always wanted a standalone high school; there was never any discussion regarding a P-12.

In August 2009 it was announced Torquay College was moving to a P-12. Prior to this announcement there was minimal public information and no community based consultation occurred.

Our meeting on Tuesday, May 11, attended by 50 concerned parents, highlighted this issue. CPATTS is a non-politically aligned group that aims to provide a forum for all issues to be discussed by the community.

In line with community feeling most concerned parents are striving for a standalone secondary school, others are confused about zoning issues and communities outside of the immediate Torquay area need more information on what their education choices locally might be.

The principal states “Torquay College is a wonderful school” in last week’s school newsletter – CPATSS fully endorses this and we can’t strongly enough state our appreciation of the highly dedicated teachers and general staff at the school.

CPATSS is committed to looking at the broader issues to ensure that the most effective planning and delivery of public education resources occurs in order to meet community needs.

For more information, visit our website www. cpatss.com and join our email list on cpatss3228@ gmail.com Janice Jessen On behalf of CPATSS Torquay

Concerns continue over Business Park Dear Editor, In making my submission to the Surf Coast Shire against the Bunnings proposal in the new West Coast Business Park I looked up the definition of a ‘business park’ and came across an Australian business park that has several office buildings, Australia’s largest ice-skating rink, a shopping centre, a Crowne Plaza Hotel, two service stations, a Hillsong Church, banks, child care centres, drive-through post office, waterways and landscaped public open spaces.

What are the limits in our very own business park?

Are we in for the same?

Familiar face joins Torquay office

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Auction or private sale IF YOU are planning to place your property on the market you will need to decide which method of sale will best suit your property.

In making a choice between an auction and private sale you should consider a number of factors: location, style of property, level of interest, timing of the sale and, importantly, the advice of your REIV estate agent.

The final choice should be guided by which method is more likely to provide you with the best return for your property.

In Melbourne, about 30 per cent of residential sales are conducted by auction. The proportion of private sales is higher in outersuburban and regional Victoria.

Auctions tend to be more popular in certain inner and bayside suburbs and more broadly in a stronger market. This has certainly been the case in the last two years.

REIV members can assist you by using their experience, training and local knowledge to help you make the best decision for you.

THE TORQUAY office of Great Ocean Road Real Estate has welcomed Simon Hunnam to its experienced and dedicated sales team.

Hunnam has lived on the Surf Coast for most of his 41 years and lives in Torquay with his wife Karen and four young children.

With more than six years’ experience in real estate sales in Torquay, Jan Juc and surrounding districts, Hunnam is proud of his excellent track record, sales volume and customer service history.

His talents extend well beyond the traditional listing and sales role as he also has considerable experience in the development and sub-division fields of real estate.

He has also built several homes in and around

Torquay and has assisted with a variety of unit, townhouse and land developments.

Accordingly, he has an excellent understanding of local planning and building requirements which positions him well to assist across all market sectors.

Hunnam is excited to be joining the professional and enthusiastic sales team at Great Ocean Road Real Estate and to catching up with past clients, assisting new ones and continuing to grow his established list of achievements utilising his very own top level of service.

Simon Hunnam can be contacted at the Torquay office on 5261 5088, on his mobile 0488 203 737 or email simon@greatoceanroadrealestate.com.au

Astute investors welcome rate rises MANY consumers believe that as interest rates increase, property prices level out or even fall.

For the most part history suggests this belief is a misconception, and is only at times justified due to the sentiment that property should wane when interest rates increase, coupled with a short term drop in auction clearance rates.

If we examine the fundamental reason why interest rates are increased and combine this with business confidence and past property price performance, we arrive at a very different conclusion.

So why does the RBA increase the cash rate?

In short, the answer is increased spending. This

increased spending is not only from the business sector, but from families spending more on commodities such as holidays, vehicles, home appliances and improvements.

When the economy strengthens, inflation starts to kick in. Inflation means increases in the prices of goods, services and assets.

Clothing will cost more to buy, this year’s holiday will cost more than last year’s, your shares will increase in value and the biggest asset that most Australians rely on for wealth accumulation, their home will also increase in value.

“Property prices typically don’t fall when interest rates increase,” said director of the Barry Plant

Group, Mike McCarthy.

“As we witnessed towards the end of 2009, property prices were already experiencing a steady incline prior to the RBA announcing an interest rate rise.

“Therefore, it stands to reason that when the Reserve Bank says there are no more increases to come, many astute investors will acquire and hold on to residential property.

“If you study property prices from the mid 1970s, late ’80s and early 2000s when interest rates entered double digit figures, you will notice there is a strong correlation between hikes in interest rates and residential property prices soaring through the roof.”

Pekin takes out state title AUCTION expertise is a cornerstone of LJ Hooker Torquay’s success on behalf of their customers and Brad Pekin fought off tough competition from his fellow colleagues across Victoria to take the 2010 Auction Idol title.

The win firmly positions Pekin as the best novice auctioneer in the company’s Victorian network.

Pekin picked up the prestigious title at the annual competition which seeks to inspire and encourage new auctioneers. Through the competition, candidates are coached by some of the best auctioneers in the business.

On the judging panel at this year’s competition were Geoff White, from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria; Colin Judd, general manager, operations, LJ Hooker and Graeme Hyde, national auction manager, LJ Hooker.

Between them, the judges have conducted an estimated 4,000 auctions. The distinguished trio said the field this year was, once again, of a high standard and it was an extremely tough job picking a winner.

“LJ Hooker’s annual Auction Idol competition mentors newcomers to its auctioneering ranks and several past winners have gone on to become highly successful auctioneers,” said Hyde.

“All Victorian competitors were well prepared and we commend them on their high energy presentations. Brad just edged out the competition with his confidence and engaging style that kept the bidding at a very good pace.”

White, who has been involved with training several auctioneers over the years added: “I applaud LJ Hooker for their efforts in organising this annual competition for their auctioneers.

Three grand finalists chosen from the pool of respective state finalists from across Australia will be competing for the international auction champion titles held during LJ Hooker’s 2010 International Conference in August.

Sea level study

“Events like this are extremely important for the industry because it helps encourages a new generation of auctioneers to enter the profession and also helps teach good practices right from the start.”

Pekin was understandably thrilled with the result.

“The LJ Hooker Auction Idol competition is an invaluable opportunity for me to learn more about auctioneering from some the best in the industry,” he said.

“It was also an absolute privilege to receive positive critique from people whose professional skills I admire.

“At the end of the day, I have been able to refine a skill that I have and this will allow me to deliver even better results for my customers… I am pumped about that.”

THE CSIRO is conducting a national online survey to determine would-be house buyers’ attitudes to the effects rising sea levels could have on their investment decisions.

According to CSIRO researcher, Dr Nick Abel, the survey will help local and state governments make policy decisions on future coastal property and infrastructure developments.

“We are asking people about what they think about purchasing properties in coastal areas,” said Abel.

“We are also interested in their perspectives on sea level rise and how this influences their choices in purchasing properties coastal areas.

“By learning more about how house buyers feel about the implications of rising sea levels we can help develop better coastal policy.”

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 A gang of laborers, with lorries, engaged by Captain Douglas, arrived at the scene at daylight on Monday to salvage cargo from the beach on behalf of the Underwriters, and at once set to work collecting the cargo from the beach and placing in it stacks, but they did not calculate on the extra high tide, which that night washed most of the salvage cargo back to the sea again. This tide also had the affect of turning one half of the vessel bottom up. During the same night the mainmast and several of the spars floated ashore, and were landed nearly high and dr y on the beach. The work of salvaging was continued throughout Tuesday. Portions of the bow of the ship was washed ashore at the mouth of Bream Creek, and a quantity of the cargo drifted onto the beach in the same locality.

Cavalier has your needs covered THIS year is shaping up to be an exciting one for the team at Cavalier Homes West Coast.

Owners of Cavalier Homes West Coast, Lisa and Rob Clarke, are celebrating the launch of their new design range of homes.

“The 41 new designs in the range feature modern, clean lines that fit with how families in Geelong and the Surf Coast live today,” said Lisa.

At the heart of the new homes range are the casual meals and entertaining areas. Separate but interlinking spaces give the occupants their own haven but make it easy for families to spend time together.

Offering the service, expertise and commitment of a local builder, combined with the backing of a major national

construction company, Cavalier Homes West Coast is the smart choice for new home builders.

Rob and Lisa have long established relationships with the Surf Coast’s best tradespeople.

“We’re focused on ensuring the highest standard of finish at competitive prices… and, most importantly, a hassle-free and enjoyable building experience,” said Rob. If you’re planning a new home or just need some advice about the possibilities, contact Rob and Lisa and the team at Cavalier Homes West Coast on 5243 6521.

To view the new design range visit the two Cavalier display homes at 27 Longshore Street, The Quay Estate, Torquay. Call Kerry on 0424 166 512 for more details.

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

Lucky seven for Eckhardt LOCAL musician, Tiffany Eckhardt, will celebrate the launch of her seventh album with live performances at Winchelsea and Anglesea this month.

Eckhardt worked closely with partner, Dave Steel, on the album, titled Sunday, and will play songs from the new release – as well as a host of other favourites – at both shows.

The Winchelsea performance will be a special dinner, show and CD launch at the Shire Hall Tearooms from 7pm on Saturday, June 12.

On Friday, June 18 Eckhardt and Steel will perform as the headline act at Anglesea Live – an evening which promotes and supports up and

coming local artists.

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.”

Eckhardt and Steel first met at an open mic night

in Geelong in 1995, but Eckhardt’s musical career had started well before that. At the age of 10 she started writing songs on the family piano, then the guitar from the age of 17.

Throughout her career Eckhardt has continued to apply the simple philosophy of songcraft – from country town open mic nights to the hushed tents of Australia’s largest folk festivals.

Steel was already an accomplished roots-rock journeyman with Weddings Parties Anything, Archie Roach and had several solo albums to his name.

And so Sunday took shape, between May and December last year, in stolen moments and long, quiet nights at the family home near Winchelsea.

The final phase was a Herculean remix at the suggestion of Black Market Music’s John Durr.

“Dave went back and mixed it again,” Eckhardt said.

“I couldn’t believe he would physically go back up there and start again but he did. And he made it into something 1,000 times better.”

The end result is an album that matches vivid, emotional storytelling with the expansive atmosphere of a world-class producer and multiinstrumentalist.

Who says Chardonnay is boring?

YOU WOULD think that this article would be about rich, warming autumnal reds the way the weather’s been of late, yet here I am writing about Chardonnay – what’s that about?

I tried the Yangarra Chardonnay (featured below) last week and that got me started back on the Chardonnay bandwagon for some reason… McLaren Vale Chardonnay? Go figure…

Mind you, Yangarra is a class outfit from McLaren Vale most famous for its superb examples of Shiraz, Grenache and other Mediterranean styled grape varieties, but their take on unwooded Chardonnay is pretty special too.

They’re also just in the process of certification as an organic/ biodynamic producer, which is another big tick for this cutting edge winery.

Now, I know some people tune out at the mere mention of Chardonnay, but if you’re a true fan of wine, good Chardonnay is hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are some fine, affordable examples to get stuck into as winter approaches.

Win with the Art of Giving SURF Coast and Bellarine primary schools are being given the opportunity to share in $50,000 in cash and prizes in the Art of Giving competition.

Entries are now open for the annual Kmart sponsored competition, where students from throughout the state could win their school up to $15,000.

Students are invited to draw, paint a picture or make a collage that represents what family means to them, with entries closing on September 13.

Budding young artists will provide their schools an opportunity to win a share in the national cash prize pool of $50,000, across the following categories: • National champion school: $10,000 cash prize (plus $2,500 for state/territory category) • Victorian Prep-Year 4 winning school: $2,500 cash prize • Victorian Years 5-7 winning school: $2,500 cash prize.

As well as securing funding for their school, the national winning student will receive a Wii console, while the two Victorian winners will receive either a DSi XL or an iPod Touch.

Last year in its inaugural year, the competition attracted over 2,100 entries from primary school students across Australia.

Those students used a range of techniques to demonstrate what the ‘spirit of giving’ meant to them.

“Family means everything to me and I am really looking forward to seeing how the children of

Australia express their sense of family,” said Guy Russo, Kmart managing director.

“The Art of Giving competition is a great opportunity for Kmart to give back to the community and show our support for local schools and their students.

“It is particularly pleasing to hear how students and teachers have worked together to decide how their 2009 prizemoney was spent.”

An artist in residence, a performing arts space, and new equipment including digital cameras are just some of the ways students and teachers have chosen to improve their schools following their success in last year’s competition.

Every student who participates in the 2010 competition will receive a Kmart Art of Giving certificate.

Artworks can be prepared on any medium (such as paper, card or canvas) and should be in either A4, A3 or A1 size.

To register, submit entries or look at winning artwork from 2009, visit www.kmart.com.au/ artofgiving

Yangarra McLaren Vale Unoaked Chardonnay 2008 ($17)

This is terrific value and gets my vote for wine of the week this week. All Yangarra wines show a certain finesse and elegance about them, and in this case especially so with the minerally, tropical and citrus fruits of this wine all held in check with a lovely creamy texture on the palate even though there’s not a skerrick of oak used in the production. The finish is dry, and flavoursome with surprisingly good length for a Chardonnay at this price point… top stuff.

our view

Wither Hills Marlborough Chardonnay 2008 ($20)

The Wither Hills Chardonnay is a serious attempt to produce a richer, more textured and creamy style of Chardonnay.

Showing great fruit intensity with flavours of grapefruit, nectarine and citrus fruit, it’s a very stylish wine with lovely length and creamy mouth-feel. Just beautiful!

Kooyong ‘Clonale’ Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2008 ($25)

Picked in the February of 2008 prior to the hot week experienced in the March, this wine retains some lovely crisp acidity and aromatics due to the unusual coolness of the season. More a grapefruit kind of flavour tingle than the normal rich, honeyed flavours yet still there is a fullness to the wine that makes it very appealing drinking.

Enjoy the National Celtic Festival on us

BY ALISON MARTIN THIS is your chance to sing a tune, play the pipes or simply enjoy legendary music as you submerge yourself in everything Celtic – for free!

The Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times have two family weekend passes (valued at $200 each) to Portarlington’s National Celtic Festival – to be held from June 11 to 14 – to give away to two lucky readers.

Festival director Una McAlinden (right) and Claire Schultz are gearing up for another big weekend of Celtic festivities from June 11-14.

A family ticket provides entry for two adults and children under 16 years of age, but children must be accompanied by adults and will be given a wristband on arrival.

Ticket holders are also entitled to take part in any of the many workshops on offer for adults and children, where you can pursue that long-held desire to play the bagpipes or unleash your inner Lord of the Dance.

This year the festival’s headline act, Beoga, will be hosting four different workshops in each member’s chosen instrument – fiddle, bodhran (Irish drum), guitar and accordion.

There will be singing workshops in various Gaelic languages and then take what you’ve learned and join in the chorus at the festival’s ‘Hush for the Singers’ special concert event.

Singer Marcia Howard will explore her own Irish and Australian ancestry with a song and story presentation titled ‘Holy wells to Waterholes’; young dancer and musician Davydd MacDonald will teach his own unique brand of contemporary Irish dancing; while Sydney Celtic-punk band, The Rumjacks, will give a workshop on Celtic art and tattoo design with a distinctive modern twist.

For your chance to win a family pass, email editor@bellarinetimes.com.au with the words ‘CELTIC TICKETS’ in the subject line. Be sure to include your full name, address and phone number.

Entries close this Friday, June 4, and winners will be notified on the same day.

Irish band Beoga will not only headline the festival, but will host workshops throughout the festival.

Mu ical mornings for everyone SEASON One of this year’s Tuckers Musical Mornings programme at Geelong Performing Arts Centre maybe drawing to a close, but season two is just around the corner.

After impressive performances, including Bagels to Broadway – The Story of Tin Pan Alley, the Banda Musicale Italiana ‘Vincenzo Bellini’ and the wonderful Tenterfield Saddler, the season will be fittingly farewelled on June 9 and 10 with Let’s All Go Down The Strand.

With the ladies in crinolines, the chairman in his box with his gavel, and the orchestra in place, all is set to wind the clock back to the glory days of 1895.

A rollicking show full of parlour songs, great comedy and the traditional ‘fruity melodrama’, Let’s All Go Down The Strand is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and put a spring in your step.

Tuckers Musical Mornings Season Two promises another line-up of peerless performers and great entertainment, beginning in July with Mario Lanza – The Loveliest Night of the Year, a beautiful presentation of the music of Mario Lanza and Kathryn Grayson, starring two of Australia’s best-loved singers, Robert Barbaro and Annalisa Kerrigan.

In August, we welcome for his first performances in a Musical Mornings format the highly talented Ian Stenlake, while in September, audiences will be taken on a wander through colonial Australia in songs and yarns with On The Wallaby Track.

La Prima Opera returns in October with their new production Ovation, showcasing some of Australia’s finest opera singers presenting the most beautiful music written.

The season comes to a close in December with Musical Mornings favourite The Gaslight Company’s new Christmas show, combining traditional Christmas carols and some beautiful contemporary Christmas songs spiced with great humour and some very special guests.

A welcome new addition to the programme has been the added value and extra dimension provided by delightful pre-show performers and exhibits in the GPAC foyer, presented by the region’s various cultural communities with thanks to Diversitat.

Musical Mornings concerts are held in The Playhouse at GPAC on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10.30am.

Patrons are also invited to enjoy free tea and coffee before shows. Phone the GPAC Box Office on 5225 1200 or visit www.gpac.org.au to book your tickets.

50 years of embroidery on display GEELONG Gallery has brought together a selection of traditional Asian embroideries from the collections of the Embroiderers Guild Victoria, augmented

by Oriental-themed works recently created by members of the Geelong Branch of the Guild.

These exhibits – currently on display until July 4 – are complemented by Asian decorative arts and prints from the Geelong Gallery collection.

Oriental embroideries is one of a number of exhibitions and events being staged throughout Victoria this year to mark the 50th anniversary of the Embroiderers Guild Victoria, which is open to embroidery and textiles enthusiasts.

Works on display from the Embroiderers Guild Victoria include examples of exquisitely worked panels, sleeve bands and shoes – dating from the late-19th century to more modern times.

They include finely detailed embroideries applied to clothing and functional items, as well as the more open, patterned styles of ‘Sashiko’ and ‘Kogin’ embroidery (most commonly associated with Japanese work).

Exhibits by current members of the

Geelong Branch include embroidered panels and boxes inspired by Oriental imagery as well as decorated ‘Temari’ balls – a technique that has a long history in both Chinese and Japanese cultures.

The permanent collection of the Geelong Gallery includes a number of Asian works of art, acquired largely through the Bequests of Oswald Gibson (1932) and Sybil Craig (1989) as well as various smaller gifts.

Works on display in this exhibition include18th and 19th century bronze sculptures, hand-painted vases and Japanese woodcuts.

Festival lands international director

THE QUEENSCLIFF Music Festival has announced international director Michael Carrucan will take the reins to deliver this year’s annual aural bash.

The festival is hailed as one of the region’s finest exposes of Australian and international music and culture and this year, Carrucan said concert-goers could expect more of the same magic. “I’m so please to be working on the festival. It’s a good fit for me. I’ve heard only good things,� Carrucan said.

Born in Melbourne, Carrucan has worked around the globe – venturing from China to Colorado – over the past 14 years.

His 10-year stint working on the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival saw him working alongside music greats Etta James, BB King, James Brown and Al Green.

He has also worked with Australia’s own John Butler, as well as Celine Dion, The Police, Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne, as well as managing some of Asia’s largest sporting events. “It makes sense to be coming home to Australia and doing an event like the Queenscliff Music Festival,�

Carrucan said.

He described the festival as a contemporary and eclectic mix of “something for everyone� and looked forward to announcing the show’s line up in July. “I'm really looking forward to taking over the helm of this highly regarded and unique festival,� he said. “I know just how rare an opportunity it is to put on three days of great music in a setting like we have down here.

“To be able to showcase some of today's leading artists in this beautiful, cool and relaxed town is a great privilege and one that I am going to put all my energy and experience into. “This festival has a tradition of being enjoyed by everyone, including the great musicians we have had in the past 13 years and that isn't going to change.�

The festival, which will be held from November 26 to 28, promises more than 200 acts in a range of venues from circus marquees and a grand ballroom to intimate churches and street corners.

Ocean Grove Festival secures award winners LOCAL music fans will get the opportunity to see awardwinning band Spyndrift in action at the Ocean Grove Music Festival over the June long weekend.

Fresh from taking out the Vic Hunt Memorial Music Award presented recently at the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club in Geelong, Spyndrift will feature in the inaugural festival.

A lively crowd and selected entrants gathered together for a night of celebration and music. The annual awards night was set up as a memorial to Vic Hunt who died tragically in a rafting accident in northern Tasmania. To guarantee that his passion for helping others will live on, a trust fund was set up for the awards. “All money raised on the night goes back into the Trust Fund to keep the Award going for future years,� said Sleepy Hollows Blues Club secretary, Sue Pope.

The evening consisted of a competition showcasing local musicians young and old to perform three songs of their choice to a panel of five judges.

Spyndrift clearly impressed the audience and judges with their infectious energy and unique style in winning the Vic Hunt award and $500 dollars; with Page7 taking second place and Josh Dance third.

Renowned blues performer, Lloyd Spiegel, will be playing the Martians CafĂŠ at Deans Marsh later this month. Spiegel, who has almost two decades of experience and a host of accolades to his name, will appear on Saturday, June 19, from 8pm.

For more information, visit www.lloydspiegel.com

“The judges deemed Spyndrift as ‘sensational’ and if Vic was still alive, this band would have got him really excited,� said blues club member, Mal Franken Wax. “I really enjoyed Spyndrift’s performance and felt it was a very professional and slick presentation.

The audience was captivated and listening intently. “The comments from various audience members were that Spyndrift have a great stage presence! I actually heard it called the ‘wow factor’ Spyndrift is a four-piece band and has been performing together for six years.

Band members Elle, Hoya, Merin and Richard have had a depth of experience and skills in theatre, children’s pantomimes, workshops, puppetry and dance that spans more than a decade.

Their music and show is a melange of burlesquesish explosive energy merging ska, reggae, grunge and groove.

Spyndrift is over the moon and thrilled at winning the award and is going to spend the money recording a second EP. For more information on Spyndrift, visit www.myspace.com/spyndrift

Sleeping with dogs WITH more than two million Australian households owning a dog, it is no wonder that some of these pets end up sleeping on family beds.

The bond formed between a dog and his owner is so strong that many people choose to keep the dog nearby at night, rather than send Rover away to his dog-bed. “Let sleeping dogs lie. If you are comfortable with the idea of your dog sleeping on your bed, and basic hygiene is followed, there is no reason to change a thing,� said Dr Peter Higgins, Spokesman for Dogs NSW. “Basic hygiene means regular bathing, brushing, and teeth cleaning. It is a good idea to encourage walking before bed, to minimise accidents during the night.�

The bed in the bedroom is the most comfortable and desirable place for sleeping in the house and it is important that humans establish themselves as the pack leaders.

If a dog challenges for authority, it is best to put a stop to it at once. The dog should be removed from the bed, or from the bedroom.

71

Despite the possible difficulties with behaviour, most dog owners love their pets and enjoy the cuddle and comfort at night time.

Health concerns about dogs sleeping on the bed with their owner have been exaggerated according to Dr Higgins “Dogs carry very few diseases that are transmissible to humans,� he said. “That is a scientific fact. You would have more chance of catching something from a person coughing or sneezing. “The big debate of course is: does your four legged friend sleep on top or under the covers?�

Dogs can be a big reassurance for deep sleepers; a dog can hear noises, while his owner is asleep, and this is a refreshing support for some dog owners, who are prepared to share their warm bedroom to achieve a secure night’s sleep.

Many Australian households find more peace when the family dog assumes his place on a family member’s bed, and provides all the comfort and goodwill that comes with being man – or woman’s – best friend.

Owning pets proves costly A DOG’S life certainly isn’t cheap anymore, with Victorian families spending more than $24,000 on their pet dog over its lifetime, according to new research by Bankwest.

The latest Bankwest Social Indicator Survey, the ‘Family Pooch Index’, revealed the average Victorian family outlays $2,370 per year for the care of their canine, on top of their initial purchase of the pup of $647.

Over the average life span of a dog – 10 years – this equates to more than $24,000.

Not surprisingly, pet food and other gourmet doggy treats gobble up the bulk of the annual cost, followed by veterinary costs and additional care, such as grooming, dog walking and dog dietician.

An overwhelming 96 per cent of respondents consider their pet as a member of their family.

Other findings showed: • NSW is the state that spends the most on pets. WA spends the least • 25 per cent of dog owners pay a dog groomer • 50 per cent of dog owners buy their dog gifts for special occasions • 80 per cent of dog owners have a dog for companionship • Over 30 per cent of dog owners have a dog to encourage them to exercise • 5 per cent of people have their pets in their will • 8 per cent of people take their pet with them on holiday.

Torquay based landscaping business, Tupelo Scapes, has a new apprentice on the job. French Mastiff, Nudge, has been a familiar figure on the company’s jobs in recent months. Despite being just five months old, Nudge – pictured with Tupelo Scapes owner, Brent Christie – already tips the scales at around 30 kilograms. And that figure will more than double as he continues to grow!

Coasters cruise to victory THE RUN of great weather we’ve enjoyed the last few weekends may be over, but the good results and excellent soccer continue for Surf Coast Football Club across both senior and junior leagues.

MEN: FFV PROVISIONAL 2: SURF COAST (5) V MELTON (0)

Surf Coast crushed Melton in a 5-0 defeat that was the most comprehensive in the history of the team in the FFV state leagues. Surf Coast now sit on top of the table, ahead of second place by two points and goal difference, and importantly, seven points ahead of third position, with the top two teams eligible for promotion.

MEN: GRFA DIVISION 2: SURF COAST (2) V CORIO (2)

After having a player sent off, the Coasters came back in the last minutes to secure a 2-2 draw in a well-fought game that introduced Dom Thompson and Rick Olarenshaw to the pack.

WOMEN: SURF COAST (4) V DEAKIN (3)

Another stunning win for the women for the second week in a row, after a tough encounter on a muddy and uneven pitch. The team came back from 3-1 down in the first half to dominate throughout the second half, with a superb hat trick from Bec McGlinchey clinching victory.

U16 GIRLS: SURF COAST (3 TECHNICAL WALKOVER) V BARWON (0)

With Barwon unable to field a full team, Surf Coast lent the opposition some players so that everyone could take part in a friendly. The game was played in a very good spirit, with a number of girls relishing the opportunity of playing against their team-mates. Surf Coast gets a 3-0 walkover under the rules.

U15 BOYS: SURF COAST (2) V BELL PARK (1)

An entertaining game provided chances for both teams. Surf Coast

came out on top 2-1 in a well battled first win for the Coasters.

U14 GIRLS: SURF COAST YELLOW (1) V KARDINIA (4)

After a tough contest the girls were proud of their efforts and felt the end result did not reflect the way the game panned out.

U14 GIRLS: SURF COAST BLUE (2) V SURFSIDE (2)

The blues got off to great start with Jade Feakes scoring early, only to have Surfside kick two of their own before halftime. Kirby Lambert scored the equaliser in the last few minutes, setting off the Surf Coast fan club.

U12 GIRLS: SURF COAST (5) V SURFSIDE (0)

With young gun Annie missing this week from the midfield our younger players stepped up to the mark to defeat the top side Surfside 5-0. Only top goalkeeping from the opposition kept the score respectable. The legend continues to grow in strength and stature.

Pedal Power

Setting yourself goals WITH winter upon us shortly, now is the perfect time to set some personal goals that will keep us highly motivated and cycling throughout this cooler period of the year.

This could be treating ourselves to a tour with a few friends in spring or the decision to see if we can complete The Around The Bay In A Day organised ride in October.

Any personal goals that we set our sights firmly on achieving can really empower our training in the steady build up to these events and once completed, the sense of achievement we gain from putting our best foot forward in this process of physical preparation is very satisfying.

Top winter tips

To keep the wheels turning this winter and in order to make riding as safe and personally comfortable as possible, I will share with you our riding group’s

compilation of top winter tips, starting with the riders’ needs first.

All winter cycle clothing should be carefully chosen and made from quality materials like wool, polypropylene and polyester fleece.

An undershirt or singlet made from wool wicks moisture from the skin and can hold warmth when wet.

Some of the poly materials now contain a high percentage of recycled material, so keep an eye out for these.

A thermal cap that can fit neatly under your helmet will stop a large percentage of body heat escaping, so this head cover is a must.

Peripherals like hands and feet should be covered with weatherproof gloves and booties utilising modern materials that are very thin for how warm these keep you.

Glasses with lighter or clear lenses

are a must and will protect your eyes from the inclement weather as well.

A plastic bag in your pocket can also come in handy if the roads become wetter, as putting this bag in the rear of your shorts can save you from soggy shorts for an entire ride!

Outerwear should be weather resistant, but ideally still be made of ‘breathable’ fabrics like windtex or silmond, for example, but most importantly be made from highly visible colours.

For everyone’s sake, never ride during low light in black or any other very dark colours.

Another rider visibility tip is to mount another flashing light on the rear of the helmet attached to the firming strap, as this flasher position can really stand out at head height.

The last personal requirement before we start on bike preparation and winter readiness is spares.

Carrying spares

WITH STEVE DRAPER OF HENDRY CYCLES

In winter make sure you carry your normal pump and tyre levers, but carry two spare tubes as the roads always have more fine debris that can potentially cause punctures during this period.

Also, carrying extra food or bars is a wise move, as we churn through more calories during this period, and ‘hunger flatting’ is never fun.

Our bikes tend to take the brunt of the winter weather from road grime being transferred throughout the drivetrain, so routine cleaning and maintenance will keep wear to a minimum. Once the bike is clean we can inspect the chain, cogs and other parts for wear, paying particular attention to rim braking surfaces and brake pad wear during winter as well.

Tyres should be inspected often during winter and any debris that’s stuck in the tread should be picked out to stop this debris working its way further through the tyre and puncturing the tube.

Quality bike lighting

This is the final checkpoint before we are well prepared for exploring the winter landscape. The high-powered front and rear LED lighting does not have to be expensive, as long as you have ample burn times for your riding needs, batteries are kept fresh and you run them not just in the dark, but on any overcast days as well.

With this region’s own Bikesafe initiative in full swing, all road users have the reciprocal obligation to be as visible on the roads as possible, and also move responsibly through our road network for the safety of everyone.

To keep everyone motivated, some of our next articles will focus on examples of training programmes and the tips that help riders have the confidence and preparation to complete a key ride like The Around The Bay In A Day. Yours in cycling.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

BY GARRY KERR

I HATE to report the following and I am sure everyone is getting as sick of these issues as I am: The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), has passed the following: Resolution 10/12 on the conservation of thresher sharks (pictured below) caught in association with fisheries in the IOTC area of competence.

Point 5: Recreational and sport fishing shall release alive all caught animals of thresher sharks of all the species of the family Alopiidae. In no circumstances specimen shall be retained on board, transhipped, landed, stored, sold or offered for sale.

The CPCs shall ensure that both recreational and sport fishermen carrying out fishing with high risk of catching thresher sharks are equipped with instruments suitable to release alive the animals.

In response to this: The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry the Honourable Tony Burke has put out the following media release: The Rudd Government says it will do all it can to support recreational fishers to continue fishing thresher sharks in a sustainable way.

The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) recently decided to adopt new measures to conserve the species including a requirement for commercial fishers to release thresher sharks unharmed.

Tony Burke said Australia has well-regulated commercial and recreational fishing sectors and

a strong track record of implementing measures to address concerns with the conservation status of various species.

“Australia already has in place measures that are designed to protect all sharks,” Burke said.

“I want to ensure that should Australia need to implement new measures to protect these sharks that they are practical and take into account existing management arrangements in both the commercial and recreational sectors.

“To ensure the continued good management of the species, I’ll consult with my state and territory colleagues and state recreational fishing bodies on existing arrangements and new measures as they are identified.

“For the commercial fishers, there are already strong measures in place to ensure the sustainable management of sharks in Australian waters, including shark by catch limits and bans on fining and wire traces or lines.

“The Australian Fisheries Management Authority is consulting with the commercial fishing industry on how to put in place the new requirement to release thresher sharks caught in the IOTC area.

“On behalf of all of Australian fishers recreational, sport and commercial, I want Australia to clearly outline to the IOTC the practical measures it has taken to conserve thresher shark species and that the government supports the Australian seafood industry in its sustainable management and stewardship of the marine environment,”.
