FUNDING WIN PHOTO: ALISON MARTIN

Government initiatives help to secure the future of Queenscliff

BY ALISON MARTIN QUEENSCLIFF’S coastal challenges and its unique heritage-tourism values will be supported through a multi-million dollar funding boost for regional areas.

The town will share in a $13.6million Coastal Settlements of the Future initiative, addressing flooding vulnerability and a $6million Villages of Victoria tourism campaign announced last week by the State Government for regional areas.

Queenscliff will also receive significant dollars through three separate regional funding initiatives, including a $250,000 grant to upgrade the iconic Princess and Citizens parks.

Improvements to the parks will include

the reconstruction of Thwaites Walk, linking the Queenscliff Pier to Queenscliff Fort and improvements to safety fencing along the cliff edge.

The funding will also provide for upgraded toilet amenities, including disabled facilities, landscaping, improvements to the car parks, landscaping and signage.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the funding for Queenscliff was part of the government’s $631million ‘Ready for Tomorrow: A Blueprint for Regional and Rural Victoria’ initiative. ”It will drive a new era of opportunity, prosperity and growth in regional and rural Victoria,” she said.

“It will boost regional and rural economies by giving young people more opportunities to stay, study and work in our regions.

“Communities will also have a bigger say in determining their futures under the new planning initiative.”

She said the State Government would work in partnership with local government to develop the $13.6million Coastal Settlements of the Future initiative to protect the future of Queenscliff and other low-lying coastal areas.

“This funding will support our coastal areas that have become vulnerable to the impacts of flooding, inundation and storm surges,” Neville said.

Along with Barwon Heads, Queenscliff was also named as one of focal towns for the Villages of Victoria campaign, which will showcase the unique characteristics of places.

“Our Villages campaign highlights the unique

personalities of Victoria’s village destinations,” Neville said. ”The 27 villages, including Queenscliff, were selected as they present a compelling visitor experience and showcase key Victorian product strengths of natural attractions, food and wine, spa and wellness, country or cultural experiences.”

Borough of Queenscliffe mayor, Bob Merriman, has welcomed the funding and is looking forward to working with the State Government to further develop strategies to deal with the threat of rising sea levels.

He said the promotion of Queenscliff’s heritage to expand tourism and hospitality job opportunities would also provide positive support for the community.

THE NEW playground at The Mews Reserve, Barwon Heads, is getting plenty of use by local kids.

There are new swings, a slide and a combination play unit at the popular spot.

Playing is not only fun for kids, it’s an important part of their early development, and it’s council’s role to make sure we have high quality play facilities in place.

Other new and recently upgraded playgrounds in the area include: • St Leonards Centreway • Kingston Park, Ocean Grove • Kensington Estate, Leopold • Lookout Reserve, Ocean Grove • Drysdale Railway • Myuna Reserve, Leopold • Lockington Reserve, Point Lonsdale

Redevelopment of Drysdale Library

Designs are about to get under way for the redevelopment of the Drysdale Library.

We’ve allocated $80,000 from the city’s 2010/11 budget to increase the floor space and provide designated children’s collection and program space.

The grant will also allow for more computers with internet access, a better customer service centre and a youth space.

New footpaths and sewer pipes in Barwon Heads

Some new sections of footpath constructed in the vicinity of the Barwon Heads Golf Course are ready to have the final seals applied. The club has been keen for these footpath sections to be completed before the weather gets any worse.

Meanwhile council contractors have completed depth tests in readiness for the start of work by Barwon Water contractors on laying new sewer pipes in several sections of central Barwon Heads.

Old sewer infrastructure in the area has caused a number of problems in recent years, and it’s expected that the new works will solve most of these difficulties.

This project is a good example of the benefits of close cooperation between council and Barwon Water to modernise this very vital infrastructure on the Bellarine.

The world’s best!

BELLARINE’S Leura Park Estate has taken on the world's finest at the International Wine Challenge 2010 in London and won!

The local Curlewis vineyard's hand-picked Block 1 Reserve Chardonnay 2008 took out Silver and its Pinot Noir 2008 took out Bronze in the 27th annual IWC. The 2010 challenge, which is acclaimed as the world's most prestigious and influential independent wine competition, was entered by a record 46 countries and more than 4,000 wines.

Leura Park Estate director, David Sharp, said to be benchmarked and achieve medal status against the best wines in the world was exciting.

"We entered two wines: our reserve BLOCK 1 Chardonnay, nicknamed 'Blockbuster', and our Pinot Noir out of curiosity more than anything to be honest - to see how they ranked against the rest of the world,� he said. “It's all very well to believe in your own wine but to have that belief verified on the international stage is particularly gratifying.

Exploring the environment TREE planting, creative nature-base art and a visit from a few reptiles were all part of a fun and educational Environment Day at Clifton Springs Primary School.

School principal, Brent Richards, said the day was a great success, with all students having an opportunity to participate in each activity and demonstrate what they had been learning about the environment.

He said Roaming Reptiles had brought lizards and a crocodile to the school for the students to see, touch and learn more about while other students were turning leaves, seeds, twigs and other pieces of nature into imaginative collages.

The students were also involved in planting 200 indigenous trees along a school and community fitness track; the authentic learning aspect of their study topic, ‘the world around us’.

“We are delighted with the results – essentially it's undisputable confirmation that Leura Park Estate wines are up there with the best in the world.�

Sharp said the medals would also contribute to the region’s reputation as an outstanding force in Australian wine.

He said the Block 1 chardonnay and the Pinot Noir plantations were derived from top clones, planted in 1995 which had evolved to consistently demonstrate excellence from vine to bottle.

Sharp said the wines were a credit to winemaker, Ray Nadeson, who was named Australian Winemaker of the Year Finalist 2009. “Ray is renowned for his innovative approach, key features of which include whole bunch pressing, wild yeast fermentation, hand sourced premium oak and minimal interference,� he said. “A key factor to the quality of the wines is the viticultural approach we adopt – for us, it’s not about achieving maximum possible yield. Each year, we cull our grapes with great gusto, a practice which ultimately ensures maximum intensity of flavour.�

Grove beach the state’s friendliest

OCEAN Grove beach has been named Victoria’s ‘Friendly Beach’ at this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Sustainable Cities and Clean Beaches Awards.

Environment and Climate Change Minister, Gavin Jennings, congratulated beach authority, Barwon Coast Committee of Management, for its big win in the category that recognised the all abilities access at Ocean Grove beach.

Barwon Coast general manager, Bob Jordan, said a ramp designed to accommodate aquatic wheelchairs, which could be used on solid land,

sand and in water, had been installed as part of the new promenade.

He said the ramp had already been used by 200 people at three Disabled Surfers Association ‘carnival’ days at the beach during the last summer period.

Jennings said the awards were a celebration and recognition of the actions made by all councils, community groups, schools and individuals.

ARCHIVING Queenscliff Maritime Museum’s heritage collection has been a major step towards gaining accreditation under the Museums Accreditation Programme by 2011.

Heritagecare volunteers were recruited to assist with the necessary accreditation inventory through a partnership between the museum, Conservation Volunteers Australia and Heritage Victoria.

Museum secretary, June Negri, said the MAPassessors would look for an accurate list of the museum’s heritage collection which includes historic photographs, navigation charts, ships’ bells, models, artefacts and shipwreck material. “These items tell of the maritime heritage of Queenscliff and southern Port Phillip and its maritime services such as the pilot service,

the lighthouses, the rescue service, and navigation,� she said. “The museum’s inventory or catalogue has been computerised for several years and a big effort has been made over the last 12 months to upgrade this side of the museum’s operations with assistance from its volunteers, including five additional Heritagecare volunteers. “All items on display and in store are now accurately recorded in terms of identity, number, location and – in many cases – the story behind them, and the database can be interrogated effectively.�

Museum president, Les Irving Dusting, said the museum was fortunate that Heritagecare volunteers John Barrett, Aileen Roberts, Bob Farmer and Martin Grundy had elected to continue their volunteer work with the museum Queenscliff Maritime Museum secretary, June Negri, and Heritagecare even though the cataloguing volunteer, Jennifer Gilbert, have been busy over the past month ensuring programme had been completed. every artefact is catalogued

Dive site proves to be a ‘spectacular’ hit THE EX-HMAS Canberra dive site has hosted more than 5,000 dives since being scuttled off Ocean Grove and opened to the public six months ago.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the new dive site had provided a spectacular attraction and created an underwater playground

for experienced divers since being scuttled about two kilometres offshore in October 2009 and turned into a recreational dive site. “The ex-HMAS Canberra dive site is the very first purpose built dive site in Victoria and is expected to continue growing in popularity,� Neville said. “Studies by Tourism Victoria

PIONEER ORCHID FARM ORCHID SEASON NOW OPEN

estimate the net economic benefit to Victoria of the dive site, through spending by new visitors, to be around $1.3million per annum which will see new local jobs created in the Bellarine region.�

Visiting Ocean Grove last week to view the site, Neville said a $115,000 state regional development grant,

$20,000 Parks Victoria grant and Marine Safety Victoria contribution of $30,000 had provided the four moorings and two navigation marks to provide access to the dive site.

More support needed

BY ALISON MARTIN AFTER already investing around $50,000 in plans, St James’ Anglican Church is now hoping to secure significant government funding for urgent hall restoration works.

St James’ member, Pauline Cline, said the estimated cost of the overall restoration and extension, which would enable the hall to be functional again while retaining its heritage, was $650,000.

The project has received a $50,000 Heritage Victoria grant, which must be matched by the church, and they are is the process of applying for a State Government community support grant, which will be important in ensuring the project happens as soon as possible.

Cline said when the church eventually reached its target – through fundraising, donations and any grants available – the heritage-listed hall would be an important facility for Drysdale and the surrounding community.

She said the circa 1906 hall was already regularly hired by five community groups, including the local playgroup which currently stored its toys and resources in the stage area of the hall.

However the hall’s porta-cabin toilets do not allow disabled access, there is no heating or cooling and it does not currently meet many of the community’s needs.

The Drysdale-Clifton Springs population is set to soar to up to 18,000 with the release of a new residential estate and the St James’ church community is confident the hall will provide important infrastructure when the restoration is completed.

City of Greater Geelong councillor, Rod Macdonald, said he would be writing a letter of support for the project to assist the church gain State Government funding and believed Drysdale would benefit greatly from the hall restoration.

“There is a real need for community facilities and to be able to restore an existing facility for better utilisation is great thing,” he said.

“There’s already a lot gone into the planning already, which shows the church is serious and demonstrated its ability to see this project through to the end.”

Cline said there was great local interest in this project and the restored hall, with a new addition including kitchen, toilets, meeting room and storage, would be being a real asset to the community.

Any donations to assist the community’s major facility restoration project can be made to the St James’ Restoration Fund PO Box 365, Drysdale, 3222 or phone Pauline Cline on 5253 2717.

St James Anglican Church members, Noel Scofield and Pauline Cline, are pleased to have the support of local councillor, Rod Macdonald, and are calling on the Bellarine community to throw their enthusiasm – and donations – behind the hall restoration.

Bike Safe initiative making its mark THE COMMUNITY Bike Safe initiative is progressing, with new signage planned and cyclistidentified road maintenance already improving safety.

The Bike Safe group has been working with VicRoads to have signs placed at strategic locations across the Bellarine and Surf Coast, alerting

motorists to cyclists sharing the roads.

Bike Safe spokesperson, Barton Van Laar, said VicRoads would trial ‘watch for cyclists’ signs at four roundabouts which had been selected based on motor vehicle-cycle accident rates.

Signage will soon appear at the PortarlingtonQueenscliff Road/Drysdale-St Leonards Road

items are being budgeted for. Some have already noticed works which is a major achievement,” Van Laar said.

The Bike Safe campaign is also pushing for consistent ‘share the road’ signs to be used on specified training circuits and key routes around the Bellarine and Surf Coast roads.

Rotary support for register

Dan Cunningham’s Beacon Pale Ale and Beacon Bitter Ale is on tap at Scottish Chiefs Tavern Brewery in Geelong and will soon be on tap on the Bellarine and Surf Coast.

BY ALISON MARTIN NAMED after the local surf break, Beacon Ale is set to become the region’s own boutique beer as it makes its way into the pubs of the Bellarine and Surf Coast.

Brewer, Dan Cunningham, is hoping to have his two signature beers, Beacon Pale Ale and Beacon Bitter Ale, on tap

at several local pubs soon, following the success of their launch at Scottish Chiefs Tavern Brewery in Geelong.

Cunningham, who lives in Barwon Heads with wife, Toppy, and daughter Scarlet, has been brewing commercially since December – but it had taken until last month to have enough in kegs to start retailing from the tap.

He has had to take his love of making a few home brews to perfecting his ale in 600-litre batches; but the hard work is about to pay off .

“This is just the beginning. I plan to have it on tap at pubs around the Bellarine and even Torquay and I will bottle it eventually,” he said.

“I use to drink standard beer until I

Cunningham plans to be part of the Bellarine Food and Wine Trail, complementing the many wineries on the popular tourist trek.

OCEAN Grove Rotary Club has continued to assist the important service provided by Bellarine Police Community Support Register by donating $500.

The register ensures more than 1,800 local people feel safe and secure in their homes, and the service is open to all seniors and people with disabilities – at no cost to registrants, thanks to community donations.

Rotary club president, Rod Greer, said Rotary fundraisers, including the summer raffle and monthly market in Ocean Grove, had enabled the club to make the donation.

“We’ve supported the register in the past and continue to because it is a valuable resource for people,” he said.

The confidential register includes valuable data voluntarily provided by people living around the Bellarine Peninsula.

“The information can be accessed by the police and other emergency services to assist approved authorities with information required during medical or other emergencies,” Green said.

To find out more about the free register, request a registration form or update an existing registration, phone 5255 3968.

Donations to the non-profit organisation are essential to keep the register operating. All donations over $2 are tax deductable and can be forwarded to Bellarine Police Community Support Register, PO Box 819, Ocean Grove, 3226.

$1million project on track

BY ALISON MARTIN OCEAN Grove foreshore’s new $1million toilet facility is under way and on schedule to be completed by November – in time for the annual influx of summer beach users.

Barwon Coast general manager, Bob Jordan, said the 30-year-old toilet building, overlooking the Promenade, had been demolished and underground plumbing for the new toilet and shower project was being completed.

The new environmentally-friendly facilities will be accommodated in a smaller building to suit the site and allow for more landscaping and open space surrounding the toilet block. “But there will be 10 toilets in the women’s and four toilets in the men’s, plus urinals,� Jordan said.

“All the equipment featured in the building will be sustainable. “We will be recycling all the water off the roof for to flush the toilets. There will be internal and external showers fitted with flow reduction showerheads.�

The toilet amenity design will use best practice principals to maximise the use of natural light and the building will be set lower on the site than the previous building to improve its appearance.

Barwon Coast Committee of Management manages Barwon Heads Caravan Park and Ocean Grove’s Riverview Family Caravan Park and the Riverside Camping area.

The committee has responsibility for the management of the coastal crown land reserves from Collendina on the eastern boundary of Ocean Grove, through to Blue Rocks to the west of 13th Beach.

Community grant boost THE DRYSDALE branch of the Take Off Weight Naturally club has received a $700 community grant from the City of Greater Geelong to assist with administration.

The community grants are allocated annually to local groups and organisations in each council ward.

Local club president, Lyn Ward, said the grant had enabled the TOWN branch to purchase two netbooks; one for the secretary and one for the treasurer.

Time to show leadership Dear Editor, I write this letter regarding the proposed reuse of stormwater by the RACV Torquay Golf Club in my capacity as a retired chief executive of large metropolitan councils in both Melbourne and Sydney and not in my capacity as a member of the Torquay Golf Club.

It would seem to me that the crux of the golf club application is whether or not the proposed stormwater harvesting will damage the creek and a number of technical papers addressing this issue were submitted as part of that application.

The report on the application submitted to council by its professional staff contained a recommendation for ‘in principle’ approval subject to a number of conditions but council chose to ignore that recommendation.

In the event that the council was still uncertain as to the technical merits of the proposal then in my view the appropriate course for it to have taken was to commission an independent review or audit of the application by a suitably qualified person or persons and then take that report into account when determining the matter.

For the council to instead invite public comment on a highly technical matter is in my opinion a total abrogation of the council’s responsibility.

The Local Government Act 1989 Section 3D (1) makes it clear that the role of a council is (inter alia) to provide leadership for the good governance of the municipal district and the local community – the key word being ‘leadership’.

Avoiding making hard decisions is the very antithesis of leadership and council richly deserves the adverse criticism that it is now getting from the community at large over its handling of this important issue – and quite a few others as well.

Education promise raises questions Dear Editor, Great to see the Liberal Party’s advertisements out and about – committing $20million for a full secondary school (which the shire is getting anyway).

I ask you, Minister Dixon, will you be offering education in 2012 all the way through to Year 12 or will you be using a more logical approach like that of the current model building each year level as the school population grows?

Thirteen acres is a great size, not far off what we will have by the time the current model is finished.

Yes, we all agree that the Brumby government was a bit slow on delivering the full secondary component – but it’s here now so we probably don’t need another one thanks.

Some of us still remember all the school closures from the Liberal government’s last attempt at fixing education. I think I’ll take my chances with the current model – it appears to be working – all my kids are smiling.

If 50 parents jumping up and down can get us a $20million promise I can only imagine what we could get if 100 people jumped up and down?

Northern Water Plant raises questions Dear Editor,

Is this a genuine change?

Dear Editor,

The Works Approval Application to the EPA for the Northern Water Plant to be operated by Barwon Water and supply recycled water to Shell and to parks and gardens, has now become available.

Many things are missing; we can’t see in the

design how long the plant will last, nor costs.

The cost has already been announced, all of $90million, to be shared by the Commonwealth, Victoria, Barwon Water, and Shell.

In comparison, the massive desalination plant at Wonthaggi is going to produce 150,000 mega-litres per year of drinking water for Melbourne, and will cost $3.5billion.

If we had that at Corio, 75 times smaller, pro-rata scaled down giving 2,000ML of water per annum, it would cost about $50million.

But the NWP will cost twice that amount, producing only industrial quality water; Black Rock in its time cost $60million for a much higher volume. Using the Wonthaggi example, $50million would be a generous estimate. Why should the NWP at $90million be twice that cost?

Red Shield Appeal Dear Editor, Australians have once again strongly supported The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal doorknock, with more than $6.8million being raised across Australia.

This interim tally following the weekend appeal, compared to the same time in 2009, is an increase of approximately 5 per cent.

We thank all Australians who have contributed so generously to the Red Shield Appeal this year.

We do not take it for granted, and without this support we would not be able to continue with our wide range of social programmes and community services, assisting those who are disadvantaged and marginalised in our community.

We also thank the many thousands of volunteer collectors right around Australia who assisted us this weekend in raising these vital funds and the hundreds of Westpac employees who have donated their time in Westpac branches to assist with the appeal.

For those who still wish to make a tax deductible donation, please call 13 72 58 or visit www. salvationarmy.org.au Donations can also be made at any Westpac branch, or by sending a cheque to PO Box 9888 in any capital city.

We wish worried residents of Torquay and surrounding areas the very best of luck in gaining an audience with Mr Crutchfield.

Residents of Barrabool experienced a similar lack of information about Mr Crutchfield’s support of massive and inappropriate development at McAdam Park, but their attempts to see him were thwarted by his unwillingness to meet with anyone who disagreed with his views. He publicly attacked the motives of members of our community and flatly refused to meet community representatives.

There’s no stoping Boz

BY ALISON MARTIN AT 92 and with no plans to stop flying, Ocean Grove aviator Boz Parsons is celebrating his fascinating life with the release of a biography.

The book, Boz – Aviator, Farmer, Schoolmaster, has been written by fellow old Geelong Grammarian Neville Clark.

With many historically significant elements, it captures a vivid mix of Parsons’ memorable moments and life experiences, including his life on the land and teaching at the prestigious private school.

However, as one of only seven Australian pilots over the age of 90, there is a major part of the biography that follows Parsons’ air adventures.

He started training to be a RAAF pilot in 1940 and after 55 hours experience in Tiger

Moths and another 70 hours flying out of Canada he was ready to fly night bombers in England by August 1941.

By the time he had notched up 200 hours of flying he was in charge of a crew of five bombers.

“Twelve airplanes would go out and you’d expect to lose two… we’d be shot at from the ground and above,” he said.

“By 1944 I was back in Australia flying Liberators in the first heavy bomber squadron. We were flying ops (operations) into Java; they were bombing and reconnaissance flights. And then I left the squadron in 1945.”

However, the end of his RAAF days were just the beginning of his passion for flying, which still include regular flights out of Barwon Heads Airport and family holidays around Australia – by air.

His son, Bill, also inherited the passion to fly, serving 12 years in the Australian Air Force before becoming a pilot with Cathay Pacific for 25 years.

Now retired, he often accompanies his father in their Piper Arrow, particularly on long flights, and is also celebrating the release of his father’s biography.

“It’s wonderful that now we’ve got a family history and his life on record and some of the stories of the war that we didn’t know about,” Bill said.

Boz – Aviator, Farmer, Schoolmaster is available online at the Geelong Grammar Shop website at www.ggs.vic.edu.au Three generations of Parsons – Bill, Boz, Anna and Phoebe – all love the chance to fly the Piper Arrow out of Barwon Heads Airport.

Richard and Susan (back) entertain with piano accordion and harmonica while Emma and Kitty, Carole and Millie, Beth and Robbie, Andrew and Sam enjoy their dance and movement experience – with live music.

The magic of music

shakers and sticks for the youngest musicians, while Ardern leads.

Ardern, who is an enthusiastic member of Portarlington’s Brown Street band, also invites fellow musicians to join the group.

Ardern said the sessions inspired young children to take an interest in music and become familiar with instruments, such as a piano accordion, that they would not normally hear.

A blossoming business

BY ALISON MARTIN

BRENTON and Merrilyn McGee have been bringing winter colour to the Bellarine for more than 30 years, building their specialist cymbidium orchid stock to more than 10,000 flowering plants.

The Pioneer Orchid Farm at Leopold now covers one and a half hectares and over the past three decades, they have expanded their range to include 200 to 300 named varieties.

The orchid farm opens seven days a week over the winter to spring flowering season and is closed for the remainder of the year while the McGee’s propagate, de-flask, re-pot and work on the intricate breeding of new varieties.

The couple were inspired by Brenton’s uncle who

was one of the world’s leading orchid hybridisers in the late 1970s and supplied the first few plants to start the farm.

They now develop there own varieties, which includes an acclaimed white orchid, sending plants to an Adelaide laboratory to have them cloned.

Brenton said orchids were available in almost every colour, except blue or purple shades.

He said the orchids were grown from flask and took up to seven years to flower.

“Anyone can grow them but they have to be patient,” he said.

Merrilyn admitted many people thought they would be difficult to care for, but she assured all customers it was “a fallacy”.

“That’s why we put the tubs out the front to show

15

people how tough they area,” she said.

“They’re easy to look after; in fact the less care you give the better they grow. But the flowers will depend on how much sunlight the plant had over the summer.

“Regular water that’s all they need, fresh air, plenty of light and regular feeding.”

Brenton has also developed his own orchid food, which he once kept for the farm orchids but now sells to customers who are keen to see their orchids grow for many years.

Pioneer Orchid Farm is open 9.30am to 5pm every day until November, with Brenton and Merrilyn happy to provide advice on where to position your orchid and how to maximise the blooms each season.

Mother and son take art to the people POINT Lonsdale’s talented artists Deb Brearley and her son, Ryan, have turned their paintings into cards, making their inspiring art available to everyone.

Brearley said they had used an Ocean Grove photographer and a Geelong printer to take their work from canvas to card, and the cards would be available at several locations on the Bellarine.

“It’s one way of putting our work to work. We have some paintings we don’t want to part with, and this way is a way we can still sell them,” she said.

The cards, which include a mix of still life works by Deb and Ryan, follow a garden produce theme and demonstrate yet another link to the Bellarine’s growing focus on sustainability.

“We are gardeners as well as artists,” Brearley said explaining, some of the vegetables had grown from seed and were then painted before being taken to the table.

“Some of the fruit were windfalls but before they became jam they were our painting subjects,” she said.

“Some fruit came from other peoples’ trees and gardens…”

To find our more about the locally-produced cards, email Deb and Ryan at firetailfinch1@gmail.com

Warralily lots snapped up

PARTY

BOAT

HYGEIA

THE INTEREST in the Surf Coast’s and Bellarine’s newest neighbour, Armstrong Creek, was underlined on the weekend with the first stage release of Warralily.

Following strong buyer interest, 46 home sites went to market with 100 per cent sold on the day, with lots snapped up by eager buyers keen to get their slice of the exciting residential development.

In addition, 50 lots were secured by display home builders.

The home sites, ranging in size from 442sqm to 717sqm and priced from $157,000, were sold via a ballot system to registered purchasers.

The event, attended by hundreds of people, saw new home buyers pulled from the barrel one by one to select the lot of their choice and take the first steps in becoming part of the Warralily community.

Anthony Barnett was the first person drawn from the ballot, and he said he was drawn to Warralily due to the location close to the coast and Geelong. “I didn’t expect to be the first and I’m so excited, the development has everything my family needs and will give

my boys the space to run around,� he said.

Warralily general manager of development, Mark Whinfield, said the day had been a great success with people drawn to the location and future amenities the masterplan will offer. “People here today have been attracted to what the new community will offer.

With home sites from $157,000, families will be able to put together a house and land package from around $330,000,� he said. “After years of planning, it is rewarding to see the buyers so excited by the opportunity to buy land here and we’re delighted to welcome the first future Warralily residents to their new home.�

Following this first stage release, the development will enter into the construction phase, with infrastructure construction planned to begin in the next couple of months and homes expected to start construction in the first quarter of 2011.

The board swaps or exchanges are totally up to individuals, with Patagonia taking nothing from the day other than providing the venue. Pictured promoting the day was surfing legend, Wayne Lynch. The day will be held at Patagonia on the Surf Coast Highway (opposite Surf City Plaza) from 9am-1pm.

money matters THIS PAGE IS PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY GEELONG FINANCIAL GROUP

Investment Properties – When and Where?

BY MIKE WALMSLEY Experienced property investors will give an immediate answer as to when is the best time to purchase an investment property. The answer is “yesterday”. The reason behind their response is obvious to most and it is simply because property continues to increase in value, and for this reason will always be a very sound investment.

Since records commenced property has increased by a compounded 10.4% each year.

Buying an investment property is a business decision so it requires the purchaser to understand the fundamentals to achieve the best result. Anyone can buy real estate but not everyone will profit greatly without committing time to the process. Opportunities extend far and wide throughout Australia. At this point in time to buy locally in the Geelong area is a wise move and there are also excellent buying opportunities in both Adelaide & Perth.

Important Tips.

The Process.

Investment properties should be bought without emotion.

The moment you involve your personal tastes the deal will be spoilt. Investing is all about numbers and if the deal “stacks up’ it should seriously be considered.

Finance.

Have your finance in place. This will allow for you to place an unconditional offer on a property and all vendors enjoy seeing a line ruled through “special conditions”.

Budget Work within a budget. Your broker/bank will advise you of your borrowing capacity.

Remember to add a 5% sum to your potential purchase price to allow for stamp duty, legal costs etc. If your are purchasing a $400,000 property you will require access to $420,000.

Where to Buy? Always consider infrastructure when purchasing an investment property. Tenants are tenants for a good reason. The reason is that in the majority of cases that they cannot afford their own home so

they lease a property and pay rent.

Many who pay rent are saving for their own home. If you are saving or simply paying rent and enjoying life you will want value for your rent payment. Value comes from being close to many of the things that are important to you and these include public transport, schools, shopping centres and sporting facilities.

Auctions Avoid the auction situation if it is at all possible. Why? The answer is that most properties sold at auction sell above the reserve price. If several parties are interested in the same property then the purchase price is often inflated in a bidding war.

“Remember make decisions with your mind, not your heart”.

Mike Walmsley is a buyer’s agent and if you would like to meet with him he can be contacted at Geelong Financial Group on 5261 6530.

Decision Making The worst decisions are made by two types of purchasers.

They are those who are greedy and those who cannot swallow their pride. When purchasing be sensible and be fair. Make a genuine offer which will allow the communication channels to flow freely. A “silly” low offer on a property will harm your relationship with the agent and the vendor.

Housing cracks appearing CONCERN that Australia may indeed have a housing bubble is gaining traction as each new release of data shows that housing sales and housing loans are declining sharply.

To understand these declines it is important to understand the dramatic effect the government’s First Home Owner’s Grant boost had when introduced in early 2009.

This “free” money enticed a lot of buyers into the market and was instrumental in the general housing price increase of the last year.

The maths is simple. The now expired boost brought forward and exacerbated demand and added to buyer’s deposits. From there leverage took over.

For example, a person with a $21,000 deposit and a bank willing to lend at a 95 per cent loan to value ratio (LVR) allowed that person to purchase a $420,000 property.

An additional $7,000 grant increases the deposit available to $28,000 which at a 95 per

cent LVR can be leveraged up to $560,000. Single-handedly, the grant, in this example, has increased the price a person can pay for a home by 33 per cent.

This, however, works both ways, placing the housing market in a highly vulnerable situation.

When people become less willing to take on more debt or begin to pay off debt the inevitable consequence is that prices suffer A once positive feedback loop of rising credit and rising prices becomes a negative feedback loop of less debt and falling prices.

Property spruikers insist that Australia is different. Jeremy Grantham, a highly regarded Boston-based fund manager who believes Australia has a significant property bubble, wryly noted that, “bubbles have quite a few things in common but housing bubbles have a spectacular thing in common, and that is every one of them is considered unique and different”.

Wearing yellow is better than black

ONE IN two men will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. It could be you or it could be your best mate.

It is a statistic Australia’s leading sporting stars are not taking lightly. Leaving rivalries behind, sporting clubs from the NRL, AFL and FFA are uniting to tackle their toughest opponent yet – cancer.

Socceroos’ Tim Cahill, Essendon’s Andrew Welsh and Parramatta Eels’ Tim Mannah are leading the charge to call for local sporting clubs to join the professionals and hold a Call To Arms match this July.

“I’m passionate about Call To Arms because I know what it’s like to be forced off the footy field by a cancer diagnosis,” said former Essendon star, Adam Ramanauskas.

“You think it won’t happen to you, but I know exactly what it’s like to hear the words ‘you have cancer’. And if you’re an Australian man, odds are one day you or someone you know will too.”

“Compared to women, Australian men are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and are more likely to die from the disease,” said Cancer Council Victoria community fundraising manager, Irene Manitta.

Registration for Call To Arms 2010 is now open.

Register your club at www.calltoarms.com.au and don yellow armbands to raise funds and awareness for cancer in men. Call To Arms is open to all ages, from junior leagues, up to professional clubs from all codes.

The Cancer Council will provide each club with a free Call To Arms Club Champion Kit, including yellow armband tape, promotional posters, donation boxes and practical fundraising ideas.

Funds raised will help prevent and detect cancers in men, find new treatments, as well as support men in need by funding the Cancer Council’s important cancer research, prevention and support programmes.

Cancer Council is seeking 2,500 Call To Arms registrations before July – so get off the bench and get involved today.

For more information and to register, visit www.calltoarms.com.au or phone 1300 656 585

Students help to raise awareness SAINT Ignatius College students have been meeting their mission to provide important services to the community while also supporting bowel cancer prevention and screening.

Year 7 students who live locally in the Bellarine Peninsula participated in a letterbox drop to raise awareness of Bowelscan Month and the need to participate in the programme.

The distribution of Bowelscan flyers was organised by head of the middle school, Narelle Fry, and Rotarian and programme co-ordinator, Max Fry. Fry is a strong advocate and tireless worker of the Bowelscan awareness programme, and was proud to join forces with Saint Ignatius College and give the students an opportunity and the responsibility to promote Bowelscan.

Delivering pamphlets in Drysdale were St Ignatius Year 7 students Marty Connor, Abbey Middleton, Rotarian Max Fry, student Nat Gravener and Saint Ignatius College director of the middle school, Narelle Fry.

Red Cross opens in Geelong

THE REGION’S newest Red Cross offices were opened in Geelong last week.

While opening the new offices, Red Cross chief executive, Robert Tickner, explained how the organisation will be assisting the vulnerable and disadvantaged local community.

Tickner said Red Cross is heading in an important new direction to work with the most disadvantaged people in the most disadvantaged communities. “We know that children born in disadvantaged locations are likely to have poorer education, employment, and health outcomes and a higher interaction with the criminal justice system,� he said. “It is hoped that in the future, young people from the region will be able to benefit from a number of Red Cross programmes to assist with youth disengagement and mental health issues. “With two large prisons in the area, there’s also the potential to assist prisoners and their families.�

Red Cross executive director for Victoria, Toni Aslett, said Red Cross has a long history in the region and the new premises would better meet the organisation’s needs now and well into the future.

The office is located at 49 Mercer Street.

TREATING children with colds is more complex than adults due to dosing and age requirements.

For treatment of snot or nasal congestion in children over two, nasal decongestants can be used in the form of nasal drops or spray.

They can only be used for three-four days continuously then require a couple of days break.

Decongestants are also available with antihistamines for an added drying action and are available in syrup – which is pleasant tasting – according to the manufacturers.

Children under the age of two can use saline nasal drops to help flush out the snot but need a doctor’s prescription for decongestant syrups.

Often a cough related to a cold is due to phlegm running down the back of the throat, so a cough suppressant is often effective, once again, only in children over the age of two.

Children will often have multiple colds during the first five years of their life and symptomatic treatment with fluids, pain or fever relief and rest is often all that is needed. With any concerns for treatment please see your local pharmacist who will be happy to advise the best treatment for your child.

Top expo returns

EVERY year the REIV runs a competition to find the best senior and novice auctioneers in Victoria. The winner and runner-up of the senior competition then represents the state at the Australasian awards.

The last time Victoria won at the Australasian auctioneer awards was five years ago, when Justin Long of Marshall White took home the top prize.

Given that auctioneering is such an important part of the buying and selling of property in this state – more so than in other parts of Australia – the Institute has high hopes that this year’s winner will take out the title of the Australasian Real Estate Institutes’ Auctioneering Champion when the competition is held in New Zealand.

Last week the heats were held at the REIV and, after 12 mock auctions, five finalists were selected.

In the heats they were asked to run an auction and deal with all manner of tricky and technical questions to test their abilities and knowledge. They were judged by their peers.

The five finalists this year are: Adrian Butera of Compton & Green Real Estate Solutions in Williamstown, Peter Clark of Clark First National in Warragul, Alisha Hobart of Harcourts Frankston, Richard James of Jellis Craig in Hawthorn and Matthew Young of Buxton St Kilda.

They will compete in the final on Wednesday, July 7 from 2pm-5.30pm in the Pavilion Room at the Arts Centre.

The event is free and open to the public. I would like to encourage anyone who enjoys an auction on the weekend to make the time to watch some of this state’s best in action.

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, andwere landed nearly high and dry 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.

Industry Info

No quick fixes for housing affordability AUSTRALIA’S current housing affordability crisis has taken 20 years to be fully manifested, and according to this year’s State of the Regions Report released last week in Canberra, it will take a decade or two of intense policy application to fix. “The State of the Regions Report proves that the current shortage of affordable housing is not a recent development that can simply be blamed on council planning processes,� said Geoff Lake, president of the Australian Local Government Association. “We have long been arguing that blaming l ocal government for the housing affordability

crisis is simply not credible. Now this report backs that up.�

ALGA commissioned Dr Peter Brain of National Economics to address the housing affordability problem as part of the annual State of the Regions Report with a view to putting some rigour into the causes and solutions to housing affordability in Australia. “If we do not understand the real causes of the problem we will never as a community develop sustainable solutions to appropriately or affordably house our citizens,� Lake said.

The report shows that decades of under investment

Rentals

in infrastructure and misguided industry policy have resulted in housing shortages.

Investment in commuter transport and freight transport would have supported job generation in regions with greenfield sites.

The report estimates that the curtailment of government transport investment required to support new dwelling construction since 1980 has now generated an investment backlog of the order of $350billion. In addition, government investment in industry policy and service provision has fallen short by around $150 billion. “To address a problem of this magnitude requires

all levels of government and industry to work collaboratively rather than engaging in some old fashion council bashing and tinkering at the edges with talk of administrative reform of planning processes,� Lake said. “Disappointingly, state and federal government ministers appear captives of the development industry in picking the low hanging fruit of planning process reform to create the illusion of government action on affordable housing. “We wish they would turn their minds to the real problem and we hope this State of the Regions Report helps them to focus on it.�

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

Festival’s perfect craic

BY NATHAN HALE

NATIONAL Celtic Festival director, Una McAlinden, has declared this year’s three-day celebration as the best yet.

While she is well aware this is an all-toocommon statement from event organisers, McAlinden said all feedback received pointed to the Portarlington festival being better than ever.

“It was just amazing, amazing, amazing,” she said.

“I am so happy the festival went off as well as

it did… we haven’t done any final calculating of figures for ticket sales and people to the region, but I am sure they will reflect the success of the three days.”

The festival again drew visitors from throughout Australia and internationally, with not only the fans enjoying the long weekend of music and workshops, but also the bands.

In one of the biggest votes of confidence in the festival, Irish headline act, Beoga, was glowing in its praise.

“Beoga was everyone’s favourite,” McAlinden said.

“And when I spoke to them they said they had been travelling and touring for the last 10 months and this was by far the best festival they had been to.

“So to get that sort of praise is great for everyone concerned with the festival.”

Apart from visitors attending from New South Wales, South Australia and other states, McAlinden said there were also French, German – and, of course, Celtic national representation through the Irish, Welsh and Scottish.

This year’s festival also hosted the Golden

Fiddle Awards – which was the first time the award had been held outside of Australia’s country and western capital, Tamworth.

And the award will be winging its way back to Ireland after Dubliner Sharon Hussey was successful.

Hussey and her band, The Craic Hooers, are regulars around the Temple Bar district in Dublin and also proved a hit at Portarlington.

To keep up to date with information on next year’s festival as it becomes available, visit www.nationalcelticfestival.com

Jumpstart your career

YOUNG people throughout the Surf Coast are being given the opportunity to showcase their talents at open mic nights as part of the Jumpstart Jam programme.

The first of the open mic nights will be held this Saturday at the Torquay P-9 College performance room from 6.30pm-11pm.

The second evening will be held at the Deans Marsh Memorial Hall on Saturday, July 10 from 6.30pm-11pm.

The open mic nights are a music competition with judges; where the highest marks will land participants with an opportunity to get recorded on a compilation CD with the other winners.

To be eligible you must be between 12 and 25 years old; at least one member of your band/ act must live in the Surf Coast Shire; you cannot get recorded two years running (Kool Skools equivalent project).

Winners of the open mic nights must be available for recording; must be willing to assist with the production of the CD including name, graphics etc; and must commit to selling a portion of the CDs. The project is a fantastic springboard for young, talented artists, granting experience in both live performance and the recording and distribution of CDs. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for budding young performers, but the following guildelines must be adhered to:

• Lyrics for all songs played must be sent to organisers prior to the event, to ensure the prevention of any defamatory or degrading content • On the night, bands will have 15 minutes to play, solo artists will have 10. At least 50 per cent of the set must be original music • Those selected to record must be completely ready on their allocated day, as you will have a time limit that you must adhere to • Only original songs can be recorded.

Along with the recording project, a Jumpstart Photo Competition will also be held.

Send us in a photo that you think will impress us and you may win the chance to shoot the Jumpstart Jam CD cover!

Again, criteria requirements are needed, and include living in the Surf Coast Shire and be aged between 12 and 25 years.

Photographs can be emailed to youth_ development@surfcoast.vic.gov.au and must include contact details and the reason why you took the shot.

The photos must also be sent in prior to the night to ensure the prevention of any defamatory or degrading content. Finalists will be displayed on the nights.

Other entertainment will be running on the night, including a Nintendo 64 Challenge.

For more information, phone Jarrod at the Surf Coast Shire’s Youth Development on 5261 0644.

Ocean Grove’s Open Mic Festival was well supported by artists and the wider community, who saw a wide range of musical styles and genres on offer over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Jon Willard was one of the musicians who kept the crowds happy through the weekend.

Relive the days of Our Gracie TALENTED Geelong duo Shirley Power and Colin Mockett will present a new show at Drysdale’s Potato Shed today.

Back To The ’30s with Gracie, Albert & The Lion will premiere at 10.30am today – so be quick.

The new musical show is an original performance featuring Power and Mockett, four musical instruments and 150 images on a big screen.

The show is a biography of Gracie Fields, who was the biggest female star in the world in that astonishing, amazing 1930s era.

Fields dominated every aspect of entertainment

BEACH HOTEL

GRAPEVINE

in her time; theatre, film, and radio – and everyone knew her as Our Gracie.

Power and Mockett will be telling her story and presenting eight of her songs, sung by Power.

The show will also combine the story of Marriott Edgar, who in the same period (1930s) wrote the work judged in a BBC poll as the world’s favourite poem of the 20th Century – Albert & The Lion.

In researching for the performance, Power and Mockett travelled to Lancashire in England to visit the Gracie Fields Museum – so you can be assured of a quality production.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

Big blokes reds YEP, IT has been a wee bit chilly of late I must say, which has seen me make a bee-line for some reds that are a little more substantial in style than what I might normally choose.

Big, thick, thumping reds that put flesh on your bones and make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. With this mind, I must make special mention of the Angoves red featured below – the Big Blokes Red. It has been created to raise awareness of prostate cancer amongst men and their families by donating 50 cents from every bottle sold to help fund this initiative.

It’s a fantastic idea that hopefully “gets ya thinkin’ while ya drinkin”!

As for the other two, well they’re both just superlative indulgences that I couldn’t resist including here… stay warm and enjoy!

Angoves ‘Big Blokes Red’ South Australian Shiraz 2008 ($15)

Ripe, juicy bright red fruit aromatics on the nose lead to a big, generous mouthful of primary cherry/berry fruits on the palate. It’s a good, easy drinking red developed for a good cause and would be perfect fare for your next big steak night out with the lads.

Del Diablo Loco ‘Angel of the Abyss’ McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008 ($50)

our view

WEDNESDAY

NIGHT LOCALS

NIGHT

‘Del Diablo loco’ translates as ‘the crazy devil’. Throw ‘angel of the abyss’ in there and you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in for a horror night of epic proportions!

Deep, intense, seductive, supple, brooding, fleshy… all these descriptors easily spring to mind as I recall my thoughts as to how good this wine is. Some would say this type of powerful red is out of favour, but sometimes you just need a red like this and most would find this absolutely dee-lish… go on, get crazy and check it out!

$20

Wirra Wirra ‘Wood Henge’ McLaren Vale Shiraz 2007 ($35)

Dense, layered, stridently regional characters hold sway with bucket loads of richness, and complex spice and earthy mineraliness. Dark, plummy/choc fruits abound yet are all kept in check by the soft, but grippy tannins and integrated oak. I loved this, just the kinda wine you hanker for on a cold winter’s evening with the right food…

Annual dance festival returns with a splash Tuesday 22 June 2010

THE ANNUAL splash!dance Festival returns to Geelong Performing Arts Centre in the July school holidays, providing four days of dance fun for the whole family.

Opening on Thursday, July 1 and continuing until Sunday, July 4, the annual festival includes workshops, showcases, competitions and entertainment.

A highlight of the festival is the Australian Choreographic Competition on Saturday (July 3), giving dance enthusiasts an opportunity to see some of the country’s best young choreographers in action.

Now in its seventh year, the competition has again attracted entries from around the country, and they will compete for $4,500 in prize money.

Organised by Geelong Dance Network Inc. and Geelong Performing Arts Centre with support from the City of Greater Geelong, the festival also includes a masterclass series and an intensive

NEW MENU AVAILABLE – FOOD SERVED ALL DAY

an ideal and unique natural setting for your special occasion

programme, enabling local dancers to access expert tuition and learn new skills.

For those who just like to have a little fun with their families, the GPAC foyer will be transformed into a Storybook Kingdom from 4pm on Thursday (July 1).

Participants are encouraged to wear party costumes and enjoy dance, music and art workshops. This free holiday event is perfect for pre-primary and primary aged children.

Also geared towards budding young dancers is the Kids Dance Day Out on Friday (July 2). This come-and-try activity will have children dancing, singing and performing before they know it. Budding dancers aged 6-12 have an opportunity to try differing dance styles, including tap, funk and hip-hop from 1pm-4pm in the Alcoa Studios.

The splash!dance Festival will come to a close with the Geelong Dance Showcase on Sunday (July 4) in the Ford Theatre.

More than 300 junior and senior students from regional dance groups will join together to present this spectacular showcase.

GPAC general manager, Jill Smith, said she was pleased to welcome back the splash!dance Festival and urged local dancers and novices alike to join in the activities. “The unique thing about splash!dance is that it caters equally to serious dancers and those who want to learn more, and those who just like to dabble,� she said. “Importantly, it also nurtures the interest and talent of our region’s very young dancers, who may just go on and perform on a national stage, thanks to a little encouragement from splash!dance.�

See some remarkable skills on show at GPAC

Ann Webb’s The nature of Space 2010, acrylic on canvas.

Courtesy of the artist

Explore the nature of art

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.

SO, YOU think you can dance?

Think again! Untrained – a fun, quirky and irreverent theatrical exploration of skill and personality – comes to GPAC as part of the 2010 Shaken & Stirred season: a series of performances that promise audiences something a little bit different.

In Lucy Guerin Inc’s Untrained, four men take to the stage. Two are highly skilled, experienced dancers who have performed in theatres across Australia; two have no dance training whatsoever and have been selected from a group of likely lads in Dandenong.

The complex, refined movements that one can do with ease, another can only try and approximate.

It’s how they execute them that displays an individual portrait of each man's character, as well as unavoidable comparisons between the participants.

Untrained questions our ideas about what is worth watching in a performance. This casual theatrical exploration presents four men,

in a humorous and courageous examination of themselves and their art.

All performers are given the same instructions. How they execute them constructs an individual portrait of each man and also an unavoidable comparison between them.

This evolution of information, built up through units of action, points out what they have in common and where their physical histories set them apart.

This humorous and courageous examination of dancers and their art could only come from the highly influential Melbourne-based Lucy Guerin, who has built her reputation on movement invention and choreographic structure.

Lucy Guerin Inc presents Untrained in the Drama Theatre at GPAC for two shows only on Friday, July 2 and Saturday, July 3 as part of the 2010 Shaken & Stirred season.

Tickets are available by phoning the box office on 5225 1200 or online at www.gpac.org.au

Jury to wake up the blues club

Tuesday 22 June 2010

ONE OF Australia’s most enduring musicians will take to the stage at Geelong’s Sleepy Hollows Blues Club on Sunday.

Sydney-based Wayne Jury has more than 30 years of experience behind him and has opened for some of the biggest names around, including blues greats Robert Cray, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and the legendary BB King.

Jury, however, is well aware that experience can mean little in the music business if you are just surviving; you need the talent to back it up and that is something he has plenty of.

While he may not be a household name, his solo performances leave little doubt of his talent and ability as a singer and songwriter.

Jury set off at the age of 16 playing several sets a night, seven nights a week up and down Australia’s east coast.

Since then he has played hundreds of gigs in Sydney and all around the

country, making his mark on dozens of great pubs and other venues with his soul-drenched voice, great songs and distinctive guitar style.

But Jury is a man who isn’t easily satisfied – and he is always looking to keep things fresh and introduce new sounds.

The members of his trio change from gig to gig and for the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club he wanted to do something different – again!

So on Sunday he will be joined by Rory Millar (harmonica, vocals) and drummer RusCo (Russell Coleman, ex-AC/DC, Stevie Wright, Tinsley Waterhouse) and special guest Sandy Brady on bass. “You’re gonna hear some new acoustic solo stuff I’ve recently recorded plus some duo stuff with Rory Millar,�

Jury said. “We’ll add some drums – RusCo and I have been digging some great grooves

together so when we add RusCo to the duo it lifts up a notch. “Then, later on the wonderful Sandy Brady and RusCo will lay down some tracks for Rory and I to get up a full head of steam on. “So, yeah, we’ll do some stuff we’ve been rehearsing and we’ll kick some new things around as well. “So expect some funky soul blues as well as some lowdown and dirty electric blues. I don’t know about you but we’re gonna have some fun.�

Jamming will start at the club from 3pm – so don’t forget your instruments – while the barbecue will kick off from 6pm and the Wayne Jury Three playing from 6pm-9pm.

The club is BYO and is located at Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers Street, Geelong (enter from rear, off Smyth Place, via Little Ryrie Street).

Entry is $7 for non-members and $5 for members $5.

Hit the Road to Tamworth Tuesday 22 June 2010

LOCAL songwriters and being encouraged to reach for the sky and submit their lyrics as entries in the Telstra Road to Tamworth talent development programme.

The Surf Coast and Bellarine are renowned for producing quality musicians, and the Road to Tamworth aims to open the window to a network of music industry professionals, including songwriters, publishers, established artists and industry organisations.

The Telstra Road to Tamworth continues to broaden its appeal to aspiring independent musicians by keeping up with the ever-changing music industry.

This year the programme is being expanded to include both traditional and alternate country genres that may include folk, blues, roots, rock and pop influences.

Telstra Country Wide local area general manager, Geelong and Surf Coast, Jodi Manion said the programme had been nurturing aspiring young musicians from regional and rural

Road to Tamworth ambassadors, The McClymonts.

Australia since its inception in 2004, unearthing amazing talent like Jessica Mauboy who was crowned the inaugural

winner.

“There are so many talented young music artists in this country, and the

Telstra Road to Tamworth aims to provide them with an opportunity to explore their craft, receive professional industry advice, and give them the best chance to achieve their musical dreams,” she said.

As Telstra Country Wide celebrates its 10-year anniversary, a series of 12 heats will be held across every state and territory, as part of a number of local festivals and events – with the local heat being held during the Royal Geelong Show on Saturday, October 16.

Road to Tamworth ambassadors, The McClymonts, who are currently touring the United States, encouraged all local songwriters to enter.

“It was really great to see the progression of young musicians who took part in last year’s Telstra Road to Tamworth – from when they entered the programme through to their performance at the finals in Tamworth,” said Brooke McClymont.

“They had grown as artists in such a short time just by getting good advice from industry professionals and

networking with other musicians. You could see how valuable the experience was for them.”

Winners of each of the heats and digital heat, together with the four best songwriters, will receive a trip to ‘Boot Camp’.

‘Boot Camp’ is a two-day musical mentoring workshop in Sydney that will culminate with a live semi-final performance as part of the Sydney Telstra 500 V8 Supercars event on Saturday, December 4.

The top seven performers and top three songwriters chosen at the semifinal will progress to the final in January 2011 in Tamworth.

The winning songwriter and performer of the Telstra Road to Tamworth final will each receive a 12-month bespoke mentorship package, including a recording session in Nashville, domestic and international gigs, publicity, media training and support from a network of music industry professionals.

Adrian Chiappini and his apprentice Josh Jakubowski are plumbers who are making a difference.

WATERSOURCE PLUMBING

EVER wondered how much water is wasted every time you brush your teeth, take a shower or flush the toilet?

Adrian Chiappini is one plumber who recognises how crucial ‘green plumbing’ is in today’s environmentally conscious society. “Plumbing sits at the forefront of being environmentally aware. You’ve got to save water to look after the environment,� Chiappini said.

His business, Watersource Plumbing, has been operating for 25 years, meaning Chiappini has seen his fair share of faulty faucets and imperfect pipes.

The Torquay resident and his apprentice, Josh Jakubowski, are fit to tackle any plumbing job

along the Surf Coast. “We do all sorts of plumbing work; big jobs, small jobs and everything in between,� he said.

Chiappini’s specialties include green plumbing services such as installing and servicing rainwater tanks, water saving shower heads and washers.

He also focuses on solar hot water systems and replaces old hot water systems with highly efficient new technology that isn’t as detrimental to the earth.

Watersource Plumbing is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For more information, phone Adrian Chiappini on 0415 088 744.

JUNE 22 - JUNE 28 2010 Are there too many chiefs and not enough Indians in your life at the moment? Capable Capricorns love to be boss and call the shots, but cooperation and compromise are the keys to successful communication with loved ones this week. Resist the urge to be judgmental. Instead, take a stroll in the shoes of others for a while.

Rams rush in where angels fear to tread! With the Lunar Eclipse falling in your career zone, you’ll be obsessed about a work project and won’t rest until it’s done and dusted. Take your time – not everyone is in as much of a hurry as you are. Pace yourself (especially on Thursday and Saturday) and be wary of arguing just for the sake of it.

Saturday’s Lunar Eclipse shines the spotlight on power issues within a major relationship. You both need to compromise, otherwise the emotional tug-of-war will accelerate. Singles – have you been looking for love in all the obvious places? Perhaps it’s time to crawl out of your Crab cave and be a little more adventurous?

Lazy Librans beware! With the Sun moving into your career zone, get ready for a month of taking care of business – and working overtime.

Saturday’s Lunar Eclipse stirs up your home zone, so it’s not the ideal time to get the long lost relatives together for a reunion, or to bring up sensitive issues with fractious family members.

Do you fantasize about upsizing your lifestyle? Saturday’s Lunar Eclipse stimulates your aspirations zone, so make sure you have the cold, hard cash to finance these super-sized dreams. In the current economic climate, small and sustainable is the sensible way to live.

Let non-essentials go and focus on what’s really important to you.

Your charm meter is stuck on high this week, as Venus boosts your charisma and people skills. You’ll be at your persuasive best as you charm the birds out of the trees and inspire others with your passion and enthusiasm. Use it to your advantage – but don’t abuse it. Just remember – a little Leo charm goes a long way!

Communication is highlighted as you throw yourself into activities like teaching, public speaking, serious study, intense discussions or neighbourhood negotiations. Travel is also likely (especially on the weekend) but try to slip out of Scorpio control-freak mode and into flexible mode, as plans are likely to be altered at the last minute.

Aquarians are masters of distraction, but avoiding responsibilities won’t work this week – it will only delay the inevitable. With hasty Mercury/ Uranus energy about on Saturday, you need to apply the brain brakes, and think (carefully) before you speak. Otherwise you’ll say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and unintentionally upset others.

Issues involving your finances could come to a head over the coming week. If your money is tied up with someone else (either personally or professionally) then make sure you adopt a conservative approach and keep the lines of communication open. Mercury moves into Cancer on Friday, so it’s time to learn more about your emotional self.

Saturn’s back in your sign and times are tough, but don’t let that stop you from doing all you can do and being all you can be. Jupiter jolts you into action midweek, and gives you the extra energy you need to power through projects. Be inspired by birthday great Helen Keller (born on June 27) “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.�

Sagittarians are the binge spenders of the zodiac and, with Saturday’s Lunar Eclipse activating your money zone, your self-control is at an all-time low. So avoid a spot of weekend window shopping – and temporarily misplace your credit card. You’ll have a successful week if you channel your abundant energy into productive pursuits.

You’ve gotta have friends – and lots of them. Don’t let shyness or lack of confidence stand in the way of forming wonderful connections with others this week. It’s time to nurture friendships and tell loved ones how you feel. On the weekend, passion is combined with power games, and romance is coupled with responsibility.

World Cup fever hits Torquay

SCHOOLS from throughout the region converged on Torquay last week to kick off the Surf Coast Schools World Cup. The cup is the largest junior sports competition held in the Surf Coast Shire, and showcases the talent on offer at primary school level.

To add to the feel of the tournament, schools took on the name of a World Cup nation, with Bellbrae playing as Serbia and Torquay as Australia.

SURFCAST June 23rd.-26th.

Clockwise from left: Mount Duneed Primary School students cheer on their team-mates, Winchelsea students get ready for some practice between games, Bellbrae students Joanna Zen, 9, and Sarah Rivalland, 9, enjoy a break between games, Bellbrae Year 4 students, Natalie Hunt and Petra Crosby, both 10, get ready for their next game.

A spectacular second shot on the Par 4 13 saw Angela Foott, still hot to trot as Division 1 flag Pennant team captain, earn herself an Eagle with lots of ProV’s in the nest as well as taking all the dollars in the ProPin on that hole. When will she return to earth!

Thursday mixed comp Every Thursday at Port we run a relaxed Stableford and last Thursday had Ian Flanders returning a lazy 41 points from Graeme Short with 39. Got a free Thursday, all are welcome to join in members and visitors.

Friday ‘chook’ run Even more relaxed than Thursday comp is the Friday 9 hole chook run. This week in the men’s section Bob Thompson had 41 points and for the women, the eternally young Sylvia Blegg, had a super 40 points.

Saturday men’s and women’s comp Members played a stroke round with the men playing a round of their eclectic and there was also a 3 way play-off for the June medal. The eventual winner was Stephen Janson. A grade winner Lee

James, playing off 2 shot a 68 nett on a cb from Bob Stoward. B Grade was Shane Rose, 82/15/67.

C grade and trophy of the day was Ross Gibb, 80/17/63 and D grade Noel Hill, 89/25/64.

A special event happened to Russell Allen on the 5th, he managed one of those elusive holes in one.

Now comes the Scotch, Eagles nest, dozen balls and the kudos that goes with such a feat. Congratulations.

In the women’s section, the Kerry Bond train keeps rattling along and she had a 74 nett, with Marg Holt 75 nett runner-up.

Sunday mixed comp Dan Kasperovic scored 39 points from runner-up Norm Evans with 38.

WITH C H R I S B A R R

WINTER has poked its nose in and the early morning golfers have had to rug up and check they have the brolly the in the bag.

There are benefits of course to the wet weather as the course is magnificently green and the winter grass is sprouting daily.

We need to be aware course care as it gets wetter and watch for wear and tear, especially near the greens, filling divots is important and remember to use the seeded sand on the tee’s. Keep an eye out on the 14th green where a couple of foxes have been spotted playing lately As we suffer through the cold and wet through the glory of television we can have our eyes on the summery courses in the northern hemisphere where the big tournaments are just beginning. The action is at Pebble Beach California this week and the British Open at St Andrews is just around the corner.

It was guest day for the men on Wednesday and the course was busy with 170 players. Geoff Lamont and his friend Peter Robinson form the sands had the honors from

Greg Brinsmead and his guest Rob Dickens from Anglesea.

NTPs went to Ron Haberle Terry Lee David Strickland and Max Simpson.

There was barely a breath of wind on Saturday and the scores were excellent for a par round. Andy Moore topped the table and won B grade with +5. James Deans won in A grade with +3. Ian Chapple headed the C grade list and Jos Bedem had the D grade honor. Geoff Grayling took the jackpot and NTP went to John Evans, Matt Malone(x2) and Peter Kaan, I must mention the 2 eagles we had last week, Ron Haberle and Andy Clark were wearing big smiles both having scored an eagle on the 12th From the women’s room President Pamela was back on deck this week and obviously rejuvenated as her first shot of the day landed only meters from the pin on the 10th.

Pamela will be representing Torquay at the play-off for the Rene Austin pin on Monday so I hope her form stays hot.

There are lots of events on around the district in the next few months and if you are in the mood for getting out and about, Nathan has his clinics starting up again this week to make sure you are ready.

Booking are available for The bus trip to country teams day on August 30 contact Sarie if you want to be aboard The event will be on at Sanctuary Lakes this year so not too far to travel.

The June monthly medal was up for grabs this week and even though it was cold the rain stayed away. Lyn Belevitch won the 9-hole comp and took the NTP. Sarie and Bev Appleton picked up the jackpots and NTP went to Wendy Johnson, Mandy and Joye Burton. Micha won the putting with 29. Divisional winners were Joan Sparkes, Lyn Wilson Chris Barr and Mandy Buckley. I went home like the cat that got the cream with the medal.

The Saturday girls were out in numbers on such a nice afternoon. Julie Rogers finished with an excellent +6 the winner over Helen Sceney and Andrea Stadler. Helen Haberle, Lyn Moore and Heather Dixon took the NTPs.

FROM THE

mat WITH ANGLESEA BOWLS CLUB

UNFORTUNATELY the bowls scheduled for the Saturday and Monday of the Queen’s Birthday weekend were cancelled due to rain. However, several Barefoot Bowlers had an enjoyable day on the Sunday with more favourable weather conditions.

On Tuesday, 18 ladies had an enjoyable game of bowls. Blessed with fine weather, the match committee issued the challenge – the skippers and leads had to play in the reverse position.

I believe some hidden talent was discovered – I hope the selectors took notice!

Rampage at The Quay SURF Coast men’s teams went on a scoring spree at The Quay on the weekend, recording their biggest wins of the year against Plenty Valley.

The first grade outfit chalked up a 9-0 victory, while the reserve grade team also shut the Lions out, winning 5-0.

FFV Provisional 2 men: Surf Coast (9) v Plenty Valley (0) Although they kept trying until the very end, the whole Plenty Valley team must have shared the sentiments of their goalie who was overheard late in the second half hoping for the whistle

to put them out of their misery. Surf Coast are now league leaders by four points, and are nine points plus a big goal difference ahead of third in the race for the vital top two promotion positions.

FFV Provisional 2 men’s reserves: Surf Coast (5) v Plenty Valley (0) Women: Surf Coast (1) v Barwon (3) In spite of a superb performance and a 1-1 scoreline at half-time, the Surf Coast women were unable to capitalise on their opportunities, finishing 3-1 down to Barwon.

Female footy fires up

BY ELEANOR WOODS

U16 girls: Surf Coast (2) v Surfside (3) The under 16s girls suffered their first loss of the year, going down 3-2. Without any real teamwork or focus, the girls found themselves down 2-0 by half-time. However, they dug deep and fought back magnificently in the second half, completely outplaying Surfside.

APOLLO Bay’s netball team is gearing up to swap the round ball for an oval this weekend.

The Hawks are set to tackle team-mates and other female community members on the football field on a game of Australian football.

“It’s going to be a great day,” said Bec Allen, who has helped organise the game.

“Heaps of girls are getting involved and it will be heaps of fun.”

Allen, a coach and A-grade player for the club, is organising the event to help raise funds for The Hawks’ end of year trip.

“We are getting stuck in and trying to raise as much as we can so we can go somewhere nice this year,” she said.

The day, which will see teams made up of Hawks netball players and other Apollo Bay girls aged over 16 get down and dirty on the football field, is a chance for the public to get out, have fun and support their local sports club, Allen said.

“We are constantly looking for fun ways to involve all of the girls, families and supporters of this small club, in coming together to raise some money and have a laugh,” she said.

It has been six years since the last Apollo Bay girls’ football showdown but, according to Allen, the girls are fighting fit and ready to take each other on.

The match will be held at the Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve this Sunday, starting at 12.30pm, with the entry fee a gold coin donation to support the club.

“Being a small coastal club, we do not have a lot of funds and therefore are working hard towards obtaining some assistance from our local community to support the big match,” Allen said.

U14 girls: Surf Coast Yellow (3) v Surfside (4) It was a disappointing outcome for the Yellows, who started slowly and let two easy goals in from Surfside early in the match. Things improved when Sophie Razmara and Molly Cooper were brought on and the game started turning around for the Yellows.

Although most of the second half was played in Surfside’s half, the Yellows just couldn’t seem to score, despite a number of opportunities.

U14 girls: Surf Coast Blue (0) v Kardinia (3) The week’s break saw both Surf Coast and Kardinia off to slow start. The second half started more promising with most players getting on board, and while kicking into a stiff breeze started to pass the ball more effectively.

However, two late goals let the team down.

U12 girls: Surf Coast (4) v Bell Park (1) The legends welcomed a new addition this week with Jemma filling in for the loss of Mikayla. The girls got off to a great start with the Annie and Taylah scoring in the first five minutes. Bell Park picked their act up in the second and was much more competitive and it was only Jade ‘Hirdy’ Feakes who managed to split the defence twice to score on both occasions.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

Olivia Carroll, 8, with her 32-centimetre bream taken out of Painkalac Creek.

In complete contrast, under this Labor Government, there have been moves to ban the fishing of both the mako and thresher sharks without any consultation with recreational fishers.

Right around Australia, the Labor Government is running a marine bioregional planning process that is set to lock recreational fishing out of enormous areas of our coastline without any more consultation than lip service.

This government is out of touch with the average mums and dads who want to take their kids down to the beach and have a fish on their day off.

It is out of touch with the estimated four million recreational fishers that will rise up against their Labor representatives if not listened to.

We are now left with no choice but to formalise rallies prior to the upcoming federal election.

The announcement of more restrictions on recreational fishing is imminent – now is the time to make a stand.

Now is the time to add your name to the list of disgruntled anglers on the sign-up sheet available online or at most tackle stores.

THIS week I have been asked to publish the following media release in the interests of all anglers.

The release is on behalf of WE FISH – a campaign launched by www.victoriansaltwaterfishing.com earlier this year to form a united front for recreational fishermen.

The release reads: WE FISH have tried to remain politically neutral, and we have endeavoured to speak to all major political parties.

We have asked the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry (DAFF) and Minister Burke about funding, and were told point blank that: The Government will not pay the wages of an individual or group who can lobby against them.”

Yet this Federal Government lays down the welcome mat for fringe groups such as the Pew Foundation and Humane Society International (HSI). This has included inviting them to join Australian delegations to international marine conventions, while recreational fishing bodies are not even consulted.

The Department of Environment also provided ongoing audience to the Pew Foundation in its misguided quest to declare the Coral Sea as a no-take zone followed. zo one – a position ppos osit itio ionn Minister Mini Mi nist ster er Garrett Gar G arre rett tt blindly bblind ndly ly fol o lowed

BY LUKE SPETCH, PHYSIOTHERAPIST

TO TAPE or to brace, that is the question.

Many an athlete or sports trainer will be faced with this dilemma.

Taping and bracing are both used to: • Protect an injured area during recovery and return to sport • Prevent uninjured areas from being injured in the first place.

At this stage there is little evidence to support the role of taping to prevent initial injury in the shoulder, elbow, spine

and knee. There is, however, significant evidence to support the role of bracing and to a lesser extent taping, to prevent re-injury of a previously sprained ankle.

Let’s look at the for and against.

Taping • Tape can provide appropriate support • Poor taping techniques can cause further injury or skin reactions • Some athletes are allergic to tape.

Bracing • Can provide the ankle with similar or

better support than taping • The brace may slip but can be tightened easily • The athlete who is sensitive to tape will tolerate a brace more easily.

The choice between tape and brace then, needs to be made on an individual basis and will often come down to personal preference. Physiotherapists can assist athletes to make an appropriate decision as well as guiding other aspects of an athlete’s rehabilitation.
