Plans to install distance markers on St Leonards walking tracks set to receive support

BY ALISON MARTIN

A PROPOSED ‘health and wellbeing’ initiative to introduce distance markers on St Leonards’ walking tracks is expected to gain Bellarine-wide support.

St Leonards’ Progress Association has taken member Karen Reiter’s idea to introduce measurement markers on proposed and existing trails or paths as their project, benefitting the community and visitors to the town.

Association president, Bob Hynes, said he was confident the low cost markers would be a great innovation on all walking trails across the Bellarine, including the Bellarine Rail Trail.

“Measured paths and trails assist people of all ages and ability to set goals. Walking is a low impact

exercise for all ages and levels of fitness,” he said.

Hynes said the association had the support of a local doctor and would assist all health professionals to encourage “novice walkers or those recovering from illness or surgery to set goals to aid recovery”.

“For others hoping to improve their fitness, aims may be higher and goals to achieve set distances, then time over those distances can be a real motivator to a regular exercise regime,” he said.

Association secretary, Paul Sproule, is recovering from a knee operation and in supporting the initiative, has provided first-hand example of the need for the markers.

“As part of the rehabilitation, I have been instructed to walk certain distances and increase that over time,” he explained.

“The measured distances would promote health and walking; and we do have an ageing demographic.”

Hynes said the association proposed the distance markers be introduced initially on existing and proposed paths and trails in St Leonards, but was keen to encourage other community organisations across the Bellarine and Geelong to follow their lead.

“The markers don’t have to cost much,” he said.

“There are plenty of groups around that could take it on as a project – it would be an ideal one for the local men’s shed when it goes ahead; we could even look at community grants.

“I’ve just got back from Queensland and they have them on the Gold Coast. They just a have

wooden markers and have used a router to put the distance on each one.

“Some tracks have exercise bars along the way which could even be introduced along the tracks down here at a later date – there are plenty of addons once we get the initial support.”

With overwhelming support from members, the association has written to the City of Greater Geelong, Bellarine Bayside and Parks Victoria asking them to support the proposal to introduce the measured walking distances in St Leonards.

Covering the Surf Coast & Bellarine Peninsula

Tuesday 29 June 2010

coast community environment

MAYOR’S COLUMN ‘Ready for Tomorrow’ blueprint AS PART of the announcement of this Regional Blueprint, $13.4m has been set aside to help coastal towns such as point Lonsdale and Queenscliff to develop operational capacity to plan for, influence and respond to the challenges presented by climate change and sea level rise.

It’s pleasing to see a new process for stronger engagement between state and local government, as well as among councils at the regional level through the new Victorian Council of Local Governments to work together in addressing these issues.

The Borough of Queenscliffe will also benefit from the $6M boost in tourism funding with the Victorian Villages initiative and see more concentration on promoting the Bellarine Peninsula as a tourism destination with the restructuring of Geelong Otway Tourism and the development of a separate local Bellarine tourism promotion body under Tourism Victoria.

The State Government also announced a grant of $250,000 for Stage One of the Princess and Citizens Park Redevelopment under the Small Town Development Fund. This funding will allow ‘Thwaites Walk’ to be reinstated, upgrading of parking, new cliff top safety fencing and improvement to toilet amenities.

their concerns to council. These concerns will form the basis of our future discussions with Parks Victoria and the Victorian Government.

Waste collection tender Council has re-awarded the Queenscliff waste collection tender to Four Seasons Waste Pty Ltd. Three conforming tenders were received and evaluated by an evaluation panel, who after a exhaustive process considered that in considering cost, OH&S, and risk management issues the Four Seasons tender offered the best value. The tender is for three years with a further three year option.

Hesse Street revitalisation This project has included an extensive amount of community input in the development of the initial urban design concept. There have been two lots of community consultation and the final draft report was put on public display in May 2010 for a period of four weeks. A total of 10 submissions were received.

Council has now adopted the plan and report with a few minor alterations and will now prepare a funding submission for the State Government Small Town Development Fund to include in its priority funding schedule for 20110-2011.

Moorings at Queenscliff Harbour

Planning applications in sea level rise affected areas

On Saturday, June 5, council conducted a public meeting to update residents and rate payers about recent developments on the fee moratorium, proposed management structure and the potential for development of additional swing and pile moorings in the east and western sections of the harbour. Over 65 people attended and expressed

Council has granted another planning permit for a development in a risk to sea level rise area, this time for a two lot subdivision.

The Department of Sustainability and Environment were consulted and council received advice that the proposed development did not represent a significant intensification and

increase in the overall community vulnerability to the predicted risk. The CCMA are considering a 800mm sea level rise by 2100 in their advice to council and therefore recommended a floor level of 2 metre for this development.

After considering a number of complex issues council resolved to approve the application subject to some conditions.

Customer Service Charter Over the past several weeks council has developed a customer service charter that responds to a number of comments and suggestions on how we can make resident and ratepayer interaction with council a smoother and simpler process.

The new charter will be trialed for six months and a report will be presented to council in December reporting on council performance against the standards outlined in the charter.

This initiative will help us track how we are performing to meet your needs

Canberra meetings Two weeks ago CEO, Lenny Jenner and I attended the Australian Council of Local Government Annual Meeting in Canberra. While there we took the opportunity to meet with Parliamentary Secretary of Defence, Mike Kelly, and Minister for Tourism, Martin Ferguson, to inform them of items of importance to the borough that are under their portfolio responsibilities. It was important to keep Queenscliff to the forefront at a federal level as tourism and the defence presence in the borough is vital to our economic well being.

Coalition aims to build bridges Call for study support

BRIDGES requiring major repairs or replacement on the Bellarine could be funded under a proposed $600million Bridge Renewal Programme.

Liberal candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, said the programme would be created by the Coalition if elected at the next Federal election and would aim to rebuild and repair thousands of ageing and decaying bridges around Australia.

The Bridges Renewal Programme would receive a $300million contribution from a Federal Coalition Government over four years, to be matched on a dollar for dollar and case by case basis by local or state

governments. “There are more than 30,000 small road bridges around Australia, many gradually decaying. They are usually on secondary freight routes and in regional Australia,�

Henderson said. “Some councils have been unable to afford maintenance and upgrades necessary to keep these bridges open. Some have load limits. Sometimes people simply have to find another route.�

Henderson said the proposed federal funding would be distributed through a competitive application basis and would complement the Roads to Recovery initiative

designed to help councils maintain roads.

Henderson said, as an example of the challenges faced by councils, a bridge on Banks Road had ‘concrete cancer’ and would require $200,000 to repair. “These are the hidden costs of government and for us, investment in infrastructure is a very high priority,� she said.

Liberal Candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, has identified a number of bridges in the region, including a Banks Road bridge with ‘concrete cancer’ that could benefit from a proposed Coalition initiative.

BY ALISON MARTIN HORSE riders and local residents are being urged to respond to the Bellarine Horse Trails Study before consultation closes on Friday.

Bellarine Futures Alliance convenor, Tom O’Connor, has been working with equine industry representatives and horse riders to take the results of the study and “look at the bigger, longer term picture�.

While the study examines issues that could restrict a network of horse trails from being created, O’Connor believes there would be significant benefits from a project built on the strengths of the existing rural community. “The initiative has a social, economic, environmental and cultural direction, in line with the intention of the City of Greater Geelong rural strategy, providing the big picture is considered,� he said. “The horse trails initiative should be considered as more than a project just for recreational horse riders. It could potentially provide massive economic advantages to the whole of the Bellarine and be a key incentive for the recognition of and expansion opportunities for the

whole equine industry in the region.�

O’Connor said the Bellarine’s expanding thoroughbred, equestrian, recreational and pony club livestock all required feed, farriers, medicine, agistment and management. “The trails would reinforce the Bellarine’s position as a centre for equestrian and thoroughbred industries, which would in turn create additional employment through the growth,� O’Connor said. “When former mayor and councillor of the Shire of Bellarine, Bill Jones, proposed the Bellarine Rail Trail all those years ago people scoffed at him – and look at its popularity now. “The horse trail network is about carrying forward that vision, which is even more important now than ever before from a safety perspective because of increasing traffic on all the roads.� To view and have your say on the Bellarine Horse Trail Study, which aimed to investigate the need for, and feasibility of, developing a network of trails to be shared by horse riders, cyclists and/or walkers, visit www. geelongaustralia.com.au – public exhibition of the document closes this Friday.

Working for the Bellarine INSIDE BELLARINE Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management’s new chair, Cathy Whelan, is looking forward to working with the community to continue to build on the authority’s strengths and achievements.

She has holidayed on the Bellarine since she was young, owned a house in Portarlington for the past 11 years and been based there for two years, while working in Melbourne and across Victoria.

Whelan explained she could not speak on behalf of the committee and it had not formally met as yet, but spoke positively about the region and work of Bellarine Bayside. “The organisation is in a very sound financial position and the infrastructure in the caravan parks is in great shape,� Whelan (pictured) said. “Most importantly, the parks continue to provide affordable beach holidays for families who may not

Website to promote taste trail

BY ALISON MARTIN THE REGION will soon have a new, enticing Bellarine Taste Trail-specific website, providing a vibrant representation of the experiences to be enjoyed on the burgeoning peninsula.

The launch of the website will follow the launch of the new season’s Bellarine Taste Trail, which has rapidly become the ‘hero’ tourism product of the region.

Destination Bellarine marketing officer, Emma Keith, said the Bellarine was climbing the list of priority destinations for visitors in Victoria and the taste trail had been an important catapult for the region as it competes against the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula.

She said local food and wine producers and retailers would be invited to join the new taste trail, which would provide huge marketing benefits and incentives for their businesses.

“We had 31 operators last year and expect more to join the trail this season, particularly seafood producers, farm gate operators and provedores,” she said.

“There are strict criteria that operators need to meet to be part of the trail experience with a major focus being on local produce. This ensures the taste trail offers only the best of the Bellarine and the reputation of the trail experience is protected. The first and foremost criterion is to be a member of Bellarine Tourism.

“Operators will have their own web pages on the visitbellarine.org site integrated with the new Bellarine Taste Trail website which is currently being developed. Having a web page on the region’s site will then give the operator an automatic presence on the state tourism site, Visit Victoria and the new Bellarine Taste Trail website.”

Bellarine Tourism chair, Hugo Armstrong, said the taste trail was the “hero product we needed to

5

lead the region and gain the attention of Tourism Victoria”.

Banks Road Vineyard vigneron, Will Derham, praised the Bellarine Taste Trail and the business it had brought to his boutique winery and the relationship it had built between local operators.

“A lot of visitors had already been to other venues on the trail and we always push people to visit other places. There’s a real synergy between us and others in the area like Oakdene or Loam; we face the same challenges and all have a strong focus on quality local produce,” he said.

A ‘sneak peek’ of the new Bellarine Taste Trail website is expected to be shown at the Annual Bellarine Business and Networking function on Thursday, August 26, at Barwon Heads Golf Club.

Local operators can promote themselves online and on the taste trail by contacting Bellarine Tourism for membership details, phone 5244 7107.

Members get behind club redevelopment

BY ALISON MARTIN THE MAJOR redevelopment of the Point Lonsdale Bowls Club is currently “slightly ahead” of schedule, with members contributing a huge number of volunteer hours every week.

Bowls club president, Rudolf Van Dam, said the project was progressing well with the new concrete floor, walls and roof completed and the new clubhouse almost ready for plaster.

He said the club had been able to continue

operating with members bowling two competitions a week and still able to access toilet and other facilities.

Van Dam said the redevelopment was expected to be ready for handover at the end of August.

“It’s crucial we have the clubhouse completed before pennants start,” he said.

The $230,000 project has been funded through a $60,000 State Government community facility grant, a $50,000 Borough of Queenscliffe contribution, and the remainder provided by the

club in cash and in kind.

Van Dam said in addition to the regulation work carried out by local contractor, Lyons Construction, club members were attending three volunteer working bees a week.

“We have about 30 volunteers available on a regular basis,” he said.

When completed, it will include a makeover of the main clubhouse area, including the raising of the ceiling, new women’s facilities, disabled toilets, storage space and a kitchen upgrade.

Queenscliffe’s web launch

THE BOROUGH of Queenscliffe will officially launch its redesigned website next week.

Queenscliffe mayor, Bob Merriman, said the website redesign would form an integral link in the borough’s ‘communications strategy’ as well as meeting Victorian Local Government Act requirements for online access to information and publication of documents required under the Act. “The old website has been in place for over

10 years and has served its basic purposes well, however, modern communication and business practices were needed to be incorporated to meet the changing demands of our ratepayers,” he said.

“An important consideration for council was the high proportion of non-permanent resident ratepayers – more than 55 per cent – who required access to council information and services from distant locations.

“An ‘E-business’ capability is becoming

increasingly important to businesses generally, because people are relying on the internet more and more for their day-to-day business, communication and information needs.”

The new site we will be seamlessly integrated with ‘Visit Queenscliff’ and ‘Visit Point Lonsdale’ information that can be directly updated by registered tourism operators.

With only one or two clicks site visitors can access the total array of tourism and visitor

information about the borough.

Other key upgrades include on-line access to documents and forms with the longer term aim of lodging and paying on-line; listing of all commercial rate-paying businesses who can update their own details in the business directory, easily accessible current and historic information.

The web relaunch meeting will be held at 6pm next Tuesday, July 6, at the Victoria Hotel, Hesse Street, Queenscliff.

Art classes proving a hit in the house Q U E E N S C L I F F E Neighbourhood House’s art classes are enticing students to travel more than two hours to be part of the creative flow.

Point Lonsdale artist and tutor, Deb Brearley, teaches several classes, covering drawing and painting for beginners and ‘Deb’s Flow on Arties’ for those who have mastered the basic skills.

Brearley provides instruction suited to all ability levels and demonstrates a variety of techniques.

In addition to weekly art

classes at the neighbourhood house, local artists are also invited to meet for motivating outdoor painting sessions.

The house also offers a full programme of other interest and educational courses from information technology and languages to craft and meditation.

For the full term three programme planned for Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House, visit http://home. vicnet.net.au/~qnhouse or phone Carolyn Williams on 5258 3367 for details.

Track adds to safety

PEDESTRIANS and cyclists will soon be able to enjoy the 700-metre trek between the Portarlington Foreshore Caravan Park and the pier more safely and away from road traffic.

Shielded by bollards, the new track will run along the beach side of the avenue through the Cyprus trees from the bottom of Sproat Street and then follow the beach side of the picnic area in a direct line to the pier entrance.

The gravel path will then continue, with a pedestrian crossing marked across the roadway at the start of the pier and timber steps will lead down to the foreshore area in front of the Port Pier Café.

Walkers can then go past the café

to the steps set in the cliff and join the existing path along The Esplanade to Indented Head and St Leonards.

Bellarine Bayside operations manager, Steve Smithyman, said the new path would be 2.4 metres wide and be constructed with compacted gravel mix that is sunk into ground so the surface is level with the surrounding area.

“There will be no lips or ridges to trip over and the path itself will be a sandy colour mottled with bluestone chips to blend into the surrounds,” he said.

“Some picnic tables on the grassed area will be relocated closer to the pier where there is more space for them.

“The new timber steps down the one metre drop from the pier entrance to

9

the café car park area will obviate the present need for pedestrians to walk on the roadway around this obstacle.

“The existing steel bollards along the pier entrance road will be removed and replaced with timber ones.”

“The new link between the pier and The Esplanade track will only be for walkers because cyclists will obviously not want to ride down the timber steps or up the cliff steps behind the café. They will follow the road from the pier as they do now.

“Bellarine Bayside’s overall aim is to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for walkers and cyclists by removing the need to share the foreshore road with vehicles.”

Chelsea jumps for joy CLIFTON Springs Primary School student Chelsea Hall has shown her skill and provided inspiration to others at this month’s interschool showjumping event.

Chelsea is an enthusiastic member of the local Drysdale Pony Club and has competed in a variety of the equestrian competitions and events around the Bellarine.

However, it is her latest effort – initiating and competing as the Clifton Springs Primary School Equestrian Team – that has attracted even more admiration from her family, friends and the wider school community.

She achieved a great result at her first interschool competition and is keen to encourage more students to join her in the school’s first equestrian team.

CSPS students interested in being part of the team can contact school principal, Brent Richards at the start of term three.

Formation of the new walking track along Portarlington foreshore has started.

A female driver and her husband, both in their 80s, were lucky to escape injury yesterday when their convertible smashed into the corner of Torquay Pharmacy. Torquay Police Acting Sergeant, Nigel Morrison, said the accident, believed to have happened when the elderly driver accelerated instead of breaking as she parked the vehicle, was a timely reminder for people to be diligent when parking. “It was fortunate no one was injured,” he said.

Key speakers to attend free forum THREE of Australia’s most prominent speakers on population growth and climate change will be in Torquay this Saturday.

Demographer Bob Birrell, population commentator Mark O’Connor and MP for Wills, Kelvin Thomson, will be discussing population and climate change issues from 4pm at Surfworld Torquay.

The Surf Coast Energy Group (SCEG) has arranged the free discussion session in response to the continued political debate in Australia on population growth and climate change.

“The growth of our population has become inextricably linked to economic growth and our future prosperity,” said SCEG vice chairperson, Graeme Stockton.

“Yet if climate change is going to be addressed successfully, the global population growth rate cannot be ignored.

“The Surf Coast and Bellarine are part of this challenge with being zoned as a growth area. It’s important for us to think of the ramifications for the area now.”

O’Connor, a prominent speaker, is also a professional author with a special interest in the natural environment. He has written more than 17 books linked to the environment and population growth.

He believes the event will be valuable for those wanting to gain a greater understanding on the topic. His talk will focus on the debate and politics of population growth and climate change.

“We will talk about the politics and why the government is so mad for growth when it requires more infrastructure and taxes.

There really is a huge problem,” he said.

“Whereas Kelvin will touch up his proposal to end to the population growth.

He has a 14-point plan on how we can level the population and keep it at 26 million

Mark O’Connor will be one of the guest speakers on Saturday

maximum.”

For O’Connor, he sees the biggest challenge as getting people to think broadly about the issue.

“You seem to get people thinking that it doesn’t matter how many more people we have or the population grows, there will just be some magical pill that will make us all consume less,” he said.

“But I have to clarify that all these people still have their needs like heat and transport that will affect the environment and the way we live.

The Surf Coast Energy Group’s free public forum on population growth and climate change will be held at Surf World, Torquay from 4pm-6.30pm on Saturday. For more information, visit www.sceg.org.au

Mako fishing ban lifted

ANGLERS throughout the State are rejoicing after the Federal Government passed an amended Bill to allow recreational game fishermen to catch mako sharks.

The amended Bill, passed in Canberra last week, allows recreational fishers to resume fishing for shortfin and longfin mako sharks.

The Federal Government said the original international decision to list mako sharks was based around concerns for the Mediterranean stocks.

Executive director of Fisheries Victoria, Anthony Hurst, said while he recognised the importance of ensuring that any recreational or commercial fishing for sharks is sustainable, an equivalent situation does not exist for Australian stocks. surfcoasttimes.com.au

“This is good news for Victorian recreational fishers,” Hurst said.

Mako sharks are an important gamefishing species in Victoria’s marine waters so this decision is significant.

“The Victorian bag limit of one shark per day can include one mako shark,” Hurst said.

“In late May, we hosted a national forum in Melbourne on the recreational mako shark fishery, involving recreational fishing representatives and fisheries managers from nearly all states, along with representatives from Commonwealth fisheries and environment agencies.

“One significant outcome was the decision to work towards improving the collection of data about recreational fishing and mako sharks across State and Commonwealth borders.” bellarinetimes.com.au

Henderson challenges Cheeseman LIBERAL candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, has called on incumbent member, Darren Cheeseman, to debate her publicly in the lead up to the Federal Election.

Henderson said two major debates should be held for the marginal seat prior to the election, which is being tipped for late this year.

“There should be two major pre-election public debates – one in the Geelong region and one in Colac. The electors of Corangamite are entitled to be given this very important opportunity,” Henderson said.

“More than two months ago, I debated Mr Cheeseman at the invitation of a Geelong business group. This gave some people the opportunity to assess both my and Mr Cheeseman’s capacity to advocate for the people of Corangamite.

“I then called on Mr Cheeseman to participate in a debate before the Colac business community and he has said nothing in response. This is just not good enough. These public debates are a very important part of the democratic process and Mr Cheeseman cannot continue to hide.”

Henderson said that Cheeseman told the Warrnambool Standard in relation to the challenge by Julia Gillard for the Labor Party leadership that “Many MPs said to me that they felt that the government had lost its way for the last two or three months – that we had the right policies but the message wasn’t being delivered effectively”.

“If Mr Cheeseman believes that the government has lost its way but that Kevin Rudd had all the right policies, then the people of Corangamite are entitled to hear from Mr Cheeseman as to why he holds these views,” Henderson said.

“Should Mr Cheeseman agree to my challenge, I would be pleased to discuss with him the necessary arrangements including the locations and a suitable independent chair.”

Dredging under way PARKS Victoria has started maintenance dredging at the Portarlington Harbour to address the natural sand build up creating a navigation hazard for recreational and commercial vessels.

The freshly dredged sand contains organic matter which is mostly seaweed and gives the sand a black and mild odour.

Parks Victoria representative, Steve McPhee, assured the local community and visitors that while the dredged sand looked and smelt unpleasant when it first came out of the water, after a few days exposure to the air, the sand bleached to the normal colour and the odour would rapidly disappear.

“The dredge will be restricted in its ability to manoeuvre during the dredging operations and vessel operators within the harbour are reminded to pass on the side of the dredge displaying two black diamonds or await

instructions from the dredge operator to safely navigate in the harbour during the works,” said McPhee.

Beach goers are also reminded to observe

the signage and remain a distance from the dredge pipeline on the beach.

Go Dutch on the Bellarine this weekend RENOWNED blues performer, Dutch Tilders, will unleash his outstanding talents on the Bellarine this week.

Tilders, often referred to as Australia’s godfather of blues, has thrilled crowds over the past five decades with his exploits vocally and with the guitar, harmonica and stomp box.

The 59-year-old will play the Ocean Grove Hotel on Friday, with a large crowd expected to pack the venue, while on Saturday he will appear at Peppers Café at Van Loons Nursery, Wallington.

Born in the Netherlands in 1941, Tilders

emigrated to Australia with his family at the age of 14. He started playing guitar and singing the blues in the coffee lounge scene of the early 1960s and remains one of Australia’s most established recording and performing blues artists.

Tilders has a vocal freedom that some vocalists envy and admire; he works on stage to swoon, shake and capture his audience at every show.

Imagination Blues, Smoking Woman, I’m a Bluesman, are all award-winning songs which have seen Tilders’ fan base continue to grow

globally.

Tilders has been influenced by Big Bill Broonzy, Brownie Walter McGhee, Bessie Smith, Ray Charles, Taj Mahal and John Mayall, which have bought popular cover songs into his vast repertoire such as Nobody Knows You When Your Down & Out, Trouble in Mind, I Feel So Good, Baby Please Don’t Go and Please Send Me Someone to Love.

For more information on the Ocean Grove performance, phone the Ocean Grove Hotel on 5255 1122; and for more information on the Van Loons Nursery performance, phone 5253 1637.

Greens launch campaign LOCAL Greens candidates launched their campaign for this year’s election in Geelong on Sunday.

Candidate for the Federal seat of Corangamite, Mike Lawrence, and candidate for the seat of Corio, Gavin Brown, hosted a ‘meet the candidates’ afternoon at Karingal Community Living.

Lawrence and Brown will focus on the need for strong action on climate change, for Green jobs for Geelong and surrounding regions and on responding to the water supply and storage issues created by our growing population.

“The Green economy is coming and it presents

both a challenge and an opportunity for Gee long,” Brown said.

“We are faced with a choice; we can take advantage of our strong manufacturing industry to position ourselves at the forefront of the new economy, or we can ignore reality and lose our jobs.

“The Australian government is working very hard to ensure that Australia is left behind in the global green economy. We won’t let that happen to Gee long.”

The Greens pointed to a recent report by the ACF and ACTU, which indicates that strong action on climate change will lead to a stronger

economy and the creation of jobs.

“The Geelong region will benefit from strong action with the creation of 3,338 more jobs than would otherwise be created under weak action,” Brown said.

“It will not cost us more to reduce our emissions by more. In fact, we will benefit from the lower debt, improved savings and secure energy supply.

“While the other parties are squabbling over a mere five or six per cent of reductions, the Greens are ready and willing to take the strong action necessary to secure our economy for the long-term future.”

Celebrating girl power BARWON Region Girl Guides have enjoyed a packed programme of activities this year as the organisation celebrates its centenary.

Girl Guides worldwide are celebrating 100 years of guides with activities throughout the year.

Earlier this month the Barwon Region guides planted ‘100 trees for 100 years of guiding’ along the Bellarine Rail Trail, while further activities were also held in February and March.

The guides will be holding a campfire at the Highton Guide Hall – which will be one of hundreds taking place around Australia to mark the anniversary of the beginning of Girl Guides.

This event will be followed by the ‘Brave the Cold’ overnight stay, where the girls will be at The Mill in Portarlington and will be sleeping in cardboard boxes, tents, or in The Mill itself.

Each guide will be asked to pay $10 for her food, which covers the evening meal and supper on the Saturday night, July 31, and breakfast on Sunday, August 1.

The sleep-out will also act as a fundraising event to raise money for charity, Time for Youth; the evening will teach the girls what it is like to be disadvantaged and homeless.

The Barwon Region Girl Guides has units in the throughout the Bellarine and Surf Coast, including districts such as Barwon Heads, Drysdale, Leopold, Portarlington, Torquay and Winchelsea.

Stim-u-less

WHEN global leaders met at the first G20 summit in November 2008, the world was in the grip of the global financial crisis.

At this meeting, it was unanimously decided that coordinated government stimulus was essential to offset the looming global recession. As a result, the world saw an aggressive fiscal expansion that was without precedent.

It was hoped that this coordinated effort would kick-start a global recovery or at the very least prevent worldwide GDP from declining further.

A handful of economists at the time warned that a crisis caused by too much debt could not be fixed by a government spending spree requiring them to take on even more debt. This Keynesian approach would only kick the can down the road, so to speak, but these concerns were brushed aside.

Those early warnings, however, have proven to be correct and the fiscal path governments chose are causing headaches around the world.

The extraordinary level of government debt that arose due to the stimulus packages has now led to a second crisis – the European sovereign debt crisis, with further crises not far behind (think Japan, UK and US).

The problem with papering over recessions is that you don’t really avoid them – you just compound and defer their effects.

Just in time for the G20 summit in Toronto, Australia received a blistering criticism of its stimulus spending from an unexpected quarter, Reserve Bank of Australia governor, Warwick McKibbin. “The government rammed those decisions through the economy even though they were fraught with risk. No-one was consulted about an alternative view and if you did say anything you were attacked by the treasurer and the prime minister in public,� he said.

With the G20 countries in such disarray and confusion over the way forward, it is doubtful a consensus approach will be established this time.

Being smart with your money

BY AARON KELLEHER-JONES Bendigo Bank Financial Planner IN OUR article last month we looked at the risks of putting labels on ourselves and relying on demographics and the resulting failure to recognise our unique ambitions, individual goals and personal circumstances.

So let us begin with ‘Starting Out’ Whether you’re studying, working or travelling, living at home, with friends or even buying your first home, it is important that you are smart with your money. In fact, the choices we make now can impact the kind of lifestyle you may lead in years to come.

Therefore, with the right practices and strategies in place from the outset, it may set you up for life and help you avoid any pitfalls along the way.

And understanding how your superannuation works, the difference

between good and bad debt, budgeting saving and investing your money need not be complicated.

If there is one sure-fire way of generating wealth it’s to invest in assets that work for you and limit your spending on the things that won’t.

So, good practice makes perfect sense and here are a few tips to consider: • Spend less than you earn • Save or invest regularly; start a savings plan early • If you have a personal loan or home loan, try to pay a little more than the minimum • If you have several loans or credit cards, consolidate them into one with a lower interest rate • Superannuation funds vary a lot and there are plenty of them so seek advice for what’s best for you • If you have more than one superannuation

fund, where you can consolidate them.

Like everything in life, creating the right balance is important.

Remember, you shouldn’t go without life’s luxury’s altogether, but by having a good balance, seeking the right advice and following some of the tips above, you may just create a strategy to live the life you want.

Making the most of your tax return IN THE lead up to a new financial year, Australia’s largest independently-owned mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice, has reminded existing and potential property owners to make the most of their tax return.

A great way for all residential market players to get ahead is to legitimately maximise any tax deductions before tomorrow – June 30.

Homeowners should also consider placing the resulting tax return directly into their home loan, while those looking to achieve home ownership status should contribute it into their deposit account.

Investors may find a better use, depending on their goals.

“Tax time is when many people consult their accountant and/or financial advisor for an annual financial health check,” said Kristy Sheppard, Mortgage Choice senior corporate affairs manager.

“This presents a great opportunity to reassess your position and determine what strategies are available to you and how these can be used to benefit your property plans.

“Investors will be exploring tax deductions for their rental property or properties. For example, you may be able to claim expenses such as outlay for travel to inspect an investment property, cost of advertising to attract a tenant, agent and/

or management fees, body corporate fees, council rates, gardening, pest control, repairs and maintenance, water costs, home loan fees and loan interest.

“For many, the potential tax benefits of negative gearing are the greatest lure to property investment. Negative gearing occurs when the combination of annual interest repayments plus any deductible expenses is higher than annual rent received from tenants. This allows eligible property upkeep and loan costs to be deducted from your gross income. Then you are taxed only on that reduced income.”

“This booklet is designed to provide practical help to large business in managing their tax obligations in Australia,” D’Ascenzo said “Our conversations with large business showed us they wanted clarity and certainty about the ATO’s approaches and practices.

“We developed the booklet in close collaboration with industry representatives, including the Corporate Tax Association, the Big Four and our Large Business Advisory Group. We also appreciate the input of others to this booklet.”

The booklet includes information on: • Mutual expectations between the ATO and large businesses • How we identify and manage tax risk in the large market • Examples of good corporate tax governance • Services the tax office can provide specifically for large business • How the tax office can provide clarity in the law and the products it has to provide certainty.

“The booklet outlines the significant range of practical guidance we provide to support large business and reduce the uncertainty associated with the application of tax law in a dynamic and complex commercial environment,” D’Ascenzo said.

“This booklet is a public commitment to large business on how we will work with them and how we would like them to work with us.

“It reaffirms our commitment to encourage, support and protect large business in their willing participation in Australia’s tax and superannuation systems.

“We appreciate the critical role large businesses play in the success of our tax and superannuation systems and start from the proposition that an enhanced relationship would benefit both large business and the community.”

Lorne leads the Call to Arms SPORTING clubs throughout the Surf Coast and Bellarine are being urged to unite to tackle their toughest opponent yet – cancer.

The Cancer Council’s Call To Arms aims to raise awareness and funds to fight cancer in men.

First to register to support the worthy cause has been Lorne Football and Netball Club, and Cancer Council spokesperson, Irene Manitta, challenged all other local clubs to follow Lorne’s lead and register.

“Compared to women, Australian men are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and are more likely to die from the disease,” Manitta said.

“The statistics are scary – we all know someone who has been affected by cancer – but there are things we can do to change them.

“By getting your team involved by wearing a yellow armband, and raising funds, we can help save men’s lives.”

Cancer Council is aiming to recruit 2,500 clubs and has set a fundraising target of $1million this year.

All money raised will fund Cancer Council’s important cancer research, education and support programmes.

“It’s fantastic to have support again this year from sporting greats such as Socceroos’ Tim Cahill and former Essendon champion Adam Ramanauskas, and hopefully they can motivate men right across the country to get on board,” Manitta said.

Professional sporting clubs endorsing Call To Arms this year include Essendon, Adelaide Crows, Parramatta, Gold Coast, Brisbane Broncos, Wests Tigers, Melbourne Storm and Adelaide United Football Club, who will all wear yellow armbands in a Call To Arms match.

New CFO for Barwon Health BARWON Health has announced the appointment of Dale Fraser as chief financial officer.

Fraser, who commences his role on Monday, July 12, will take over from retiring CFO John Linke.

After 36 years with Barwon Health, Linke will leave the organisation late next month.

Barwon Health deputy chief executive officer, Paul Cohen, said that Fraser’s depth of knowledge will make him a credit and an asset to Barwon Health and the region.

“Dale comes to us from Ballarat Health Service. He has an extensive background in finance and governance in the health arena; making him well qualified to take over from John Linke,” Cohen said.

“Barwon Health has a reputation as a leader in health care. Its commitment to innovation, particularly in the area of service redesign and technology, made this role extremely attractive to me,” he said.

“I strongly believe that the size and breadth of services offered at Barwon Health will ensure that we will become one of the leading hospitals in Victoria. I am excited to be part of the team that will make this vision a reality.”

Geelong WorkSafe conviction BREAKWATER-BASED printing company Express Promotions last week became the second company in Victoria to be convicted for recklessly endangering the health and safety of its workers.

“The court was told that company management didn’t just fail to identify the risks – they knew workers were in danger, but didn’t step in to adequately protect them,” said WorkSafe’s executive director for health and safety, Cath Bowtell.

The Geelong Magistrates’ Court convicted Express Promotions Pty Ltd on three charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, fining the company a total of $280,000.

Express Promotions was convicted on one charge under Section 32 of the Act, for recklessly endangering a worker; one under Section 21(1)&(2)(a), relating to providing and maintaining safe systems of work and machinery; and one under Section 21(1)&(2)(e), relating to providing adequate training and supervision.

The conviction related to a July 2008 incident where a 37-year-old printer had three fingers on his left hand crushed after it became trapped between the rollers of an inadequately guarded printing press.

Time to regain those curves TORQUAY’S women’s only Curves gym is under new management.

New owner, Lee Anderson, is celebrating the launch of her new business venture by encouraging as many women as possible to come and try the gym by offering specials and discounted memberships.

These deals include getting 50 per cent off your sign-up fee and then work out free for the rest of winter. “I want people to know we are under new management and that I am here to get to know my clients and give them professional support and advice,� Anderson said.

The 28-year-old gym junkie and personal trainer brings to Torquay a wealth of knowledge

of the fitness industry and a passion for making a difference in people’s lives. “Curves is great because it is designed specifically for women,� she said. “Our machines target problem areas like the hips, bum and abs and we also offer weight management programmes.�

The gym is based on a 30-minute workout programme that is designed to work the entire body simultaneously. “So it is perfect for people who are really busy,� Anderson said.

Take advantage of Curves great deals by calling Lee Anderson on 5264 7222 or popping into the gym, located above Globe at 5/110 Surf Coast Highway.

Lee Anderson, the new owner of Curves Torquay, is encouraging women to try the gym on for size.

Keep your cool this winter

BY ROSE CONSTANCE WHY IN the world am I excited that winter is here? For local residents, when it gets a little cooler there is even more benefits for training outdoors.

Why? Exercising in an outdoor environment has far more benefits that an indoor environment, but then if you add in a cooler temperature those benefits increase.

The human body expends a lot more energy when exercising outdoors in cooler temperatures. The benefit gained in energy expenditure is greater during a training session and this stimulates the metabolism to burn more energy after you finish training.

To take full advantage of this fat loss benefit don’t rug up! By all means wear layers but don’t wear a big jacket.

In order to take advantage of the increased

OSTEOPATH

… †ƒ‡ˆ ‰ˆ‰‡

energy expenditure, layer off at the start and then layer on at the end of the session.

Studies done on Step into Life clients in May, June and July in Victoria showed a 30 per cent increase in fat loss and weight loss during these three months than any other months, based on three training sessions a week.

During winter many people hibernate indoors and are less active, but still keep eating the same amount of food, if not more.

Unlike most animals that hibernate, we do not fast for the winter. The International Association for the Study of Obesity says our hunter-gatherer ancestors expended about a third of their energy intake on exercise.

On average today we expend only about a seventh of our kilojoule intake on exercise.

To increase this to match that of our ancestors, the average woman would have to burn an

17

extra 1500 kilojoules a day.

That’s the equivalent of two hours of housework, an hour and a half of gardening, an hour long cardio high intensity training session or half an hour of good pace running. You just need to think of ways you can get more intense exercise into your week.

The more you move, the easier weight control will be.

Training outdoors in winter is also a great time to train for a fun run or marathon.

Without the extra heat stress, you can push your cardiovascular system harder.

By training at a higher lever over winter you will gain improvements in you cardiovascular system and you will develop a greater mental discipline which will help you in all walks of life.

For more information, phone Rose at Step Into Life Torquay on 0422 113 623.

Volunteers needed A MAJOR worldwide research study into a new treatment aiming to improve outcome and to provide relief from symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is being conducted and volunteers are being called to participate.

Chief researcher, Dr Maree Barnes, is currently recruiting patients aged 40 years and over with COPD to be part of a clinical study at various sites across Australia.

In Victoria, the research is being conducted at the Box Hill Hospital, Frankston Hospital and Geelong Hospital.

To be eligible for the study, patients will have had an exacerbation of their COPD (ie. increased symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough with / without a chest infection) in the last 12 months, requiring them to use oral steroids, visit the hospital or be admitted to hospital/seen at an emergency department of a hospital for their COPD. COPD affects an estimated two million Australians. Of these, more than half have disease that is severe enough that symptoms are starting to, or have already affected the way people live their daily lives.

COPD is a long-term lung disease that reduces airflow in and out of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.

JUST under a month remains to get your nomination in for this year’s Victorian Senior of the Year Award.

“Senior Victorians give so much to our State and the Victorian Senior of the Year awards provide us with an opportunity to recognise these efforts,” Neville said.

“If you know someone whose extraordinary commitment, energy and passion is truly inspirational – whether it be as a teacher or mentor, volunteer firefighter, community advocate or environmental champion – then I urge you to nominate them for an award.”

To be eligible for an award, nominees must be over 60 years of age, an Australian citizen, a resident of Victoria and have made an exceptional contribution to their community.

Awards will be presented in four categories: • The Premier’s Award for Victorian Senior of the Year • Council on the Ageing (COTA) Victoria Senior Achiever Awards • Go for your Life Award; and • Veteran Community Award.

“Seniors who are helping create active and healthy communities can be nominated for the Go for your life Award while the Veteran Community Award is presented to a senior who has made an exceptional contribution to the veteran community,” Neville said.

Nomination forms are available at www.seniors.vic.gov.au or from Seniors Information Victoria on 1300 135 090.

Forms are also available from council offices, neighbourhood houses and community centres, with nominations closing on Friday, July 23.

A WALK DOWN

David and Jan Cheatley on their Wedding Day in 1963.

BY GRACE CHEATLEY TORQUAY couple Jan and David Cheatley have been married for 47 years.

They first met in 1959 at the Burwood Teachers College in Hawthorn, and they married on May, 18, 1963 at the Methodist’s Church in Toorak.

After living in Melbourne for six years they moved to Canberra, then to Sydney and finally to Geelong in 1977.

In 1988 they bought a house in Torquay, where they spent weekends while still living in Geelong, before moving permanently to town in 2004.

The beach, friendly people and the sense of community first drew them to Torquay and today they are an integral part of the community.

Although retired, they stay active in the community, with David the current president of the Combined Probus Club of Torquay.

Keeping you safe online

WITH seniors and other first time internet users more likely to fall for online scams, Telstra is reminding internet users of the easy steps they can take to stay more secure online.

Telstra’s officer of Internet trust and safety, Darren Kane, said by following a few easy steps, online seniors can maintain their safety. “‘Silver surfers’ find the internet appealing for the same reasons younger people do: to stay connected with family and friends, find online bargains and to get information,” Kane said.

“However, according to Telstra’s online shopping site, Trading Post, many of these users are unaware of internet based scams so are more likely to encounter cyber-crime.

“So there are a few simple tips we encourage everyone to follow, to help ensure their online experience is safer and more enjoyable.”

Tips for staying protected online include: • Be wary of emails, phone calls or SMS messages from unknown sources asking you to update, validate or confirm your account details,

password or personal information • Make sure you have a back-up plan. It is a wise idea to keep a back-up copy of all your important online information in case anything goes wrong • Change passwords at least twice a year.

Passwords should be completely random and unique, but still memorable • Be careful about talking to people you meet online; not everyone is who they say they are For more on Telstra’s Connected Seniors programme visit www.telstraseniors.com.au

HOW WELL do you think you know the notorious Ned Kelly legend?

145 years ago an 11-year-old larrikin lad saved a young boy from drowning. Years later that lad would grow up to become an infamous bushranger, forever sealing a notorious place in Australia’s history as a folk hero who remains deeply ingrained in our national pride.

Ned’s bravery awarded him a treasured green silk sash – bestowed by the saved young boy’s grateful parents – a valued treasure which Ned wore under his armour during his last stand at Glenrowan.

Backed by detailed research, this book, Ned Kelly and the Green Sash, focuses on Ned as a young boy and his green sash.

The text also includes brief biographies on the Kelly Gang members, the true story behind the green sash, Kelly’s actual writings which reveal an articulate and almost poetic thinker and mock newspaper articles showing the course of events as they unfolded.

“The story of Ned Kelly and the Green Sash is the story of the son of a deprived and persecuted Irish family. I hope readers will form their own opinions about the circumstances that formed Ned’s rebelliousness and the question of Ned Kelly – hero or villain,” said author, Mark Greenwood.

Letters to the Editor may be submitted to the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times by writing to P.O. Box 714, Torquay, Vic, 3228 or email: editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au or fax: 5264 8413.

As publication space is limited we may not be able to publish all letters received. We also reserve the right to edit letters that we publish.

Time for some answers please Dear Editor, The Surf Coast Community and Ratepayers’ Association is bewildered by the fact that according to Justin Madden, the western boundary of Torquay is now one kilometre west of Duffields Road.

This means that a large part of the Spring Creek Valley is now available for housing… we thought that this had been held in abeyance until the 2040 plan had been finalised.

We have always advocated that Duffields Road should be the western boundary of Torquay to stop longitudinal sprawl on both sides of the Great Ocean Road with its resultant traffic and beach problems.

This one kilometer strip will create many problems apart from ruining the Spring Creek Valley, which should be either open space or, at the most, rural residential.

Torquay expansion, if it must expand, should be to the north where the land is more amenable to housing and where there would be not as many infrastructure problems.

Does our council have any power?

Did they not listen when thousands of people cried “NO” to development of the Spring Creek Valley earlier this year?

We would really like some answers.

Shadow Minister for Public Transport & Shadow Minister for Roads

I am now equally as excited by the fact that the education department has made a commitment to secondary education within this region and that my children will be able to continue their secondary education up to year 12 in Torquay.

I am extremely disappointed though by a group of people calling themselves ‘concerned parents’ and what they have been saying about the process that is under way to secure secondary education.

I live in this town and know it is full of intelligent parents, so it amazes me that so many of the community are being taken in by the politics of this group.

They are allowing a close knit and exciting community to be split apart by whether or not you agree with their politics.

This group needs to get their facts right and have some educational basis to their arguments before they go about calling public forums.

I guess there will come a time when all you intelligent parents will have to make up your own minds. I just hope that we as a community will come to realise that whether or not you agree with the education department and their plans, Torquay College will not only provide secondary education to our children, but will do so as one of the most progressive and nationally renowned providers in the country.

So please, members of CPATSS, realise the harm you are doing within the community and stop pushing your political dogma and come to the table with the facts. We parents of the region deserve at least that.

be made by the community of Colac and the Colac Otway Shire.

Mr Abbott believes that these are local decisions to be determined by the locals and not dictated by Canberra or Spring Street.

The Princes Highway commitment is a $350million upgrade that will be funded on an equal basis with the Victorian state government.

A Coalition government will commence construction of the road upgrade in 2014.

This will coincide with the scheduled completion of the upgrade of the Princes Highway between Waurn Ponds and Winchelsea, which will minimise disruptions and safety concerns.

A Coalition government will also provide $20million over the next three years to fund planning and engineering design works, land acquisitions and preliminary work to ensure that construction will commence on schedule.

A concerned parent – but not about local schooling

A decision for the community

Dear Editor, I am writing as a concerned and extremely proud parent about Torquay and Surf Coast schooling. But please do not confuse me with the group that is going around called Concerned Parents About Tourquay and Surf Coast Schooling (CPATSS).

I have spent the past few years being extremely proud of what the education system has given my children in Torquay.

A few years ago the fight within the community was for secondary education in Torquay and I was very excited when Torquay Primary School became Torquay P-9 College.

Dear Editor, I am writing further to the commitment by Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party’s candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, to fund the duplication of the Princes Highway between Winchelsea and Colac.

Your excellent article on this decision raised the question whether Winchelsea would be bypassed.

Following the Coalition’s commitment, Mr Abbott has made it quite clear that any decision for a Winchelsea bypass must be made by the community and the Surf Coast Shire.

Similarly, any decision for a Colac bypass must

Awards up for grabs PEOPLE and organisations who risk their lives to maintain fire safety throughout the state will be honoured at this year’s Fire Awareness Awards.

Nominations are now open for the prestigious awards, which are jointly organised by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, Country Fire Authority and Department of Sustainability and Environment.

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

Victoria proves to be the nation’s building hotspot The value of your home MANY property owners are receiving their council rate notices at the moment and, in addition to the amount of rates charged, a great deal of interest is generally shown in the value of the property.

It is important to know, however, that the value determined to your home by the council is not always the same amount you will receive if you were to sell your home tomorrow.

The primary purpose of council valuation is to provide a basis for determining the property owner’s contribution to the council’s consolidated revenue.

The valuation is determined every two years on the first of January by qualified valuers engaged by your council.

The council valuation will provide a guide as to the price you may be able to achieve if you are intending to sell, however, you should also undertake a number of other steps to determine the value of your property.

You can ask an REIV member to undertake a market appraisal; this will provide you with the opportunity to discuss with them the factors that have an impact on property values.

When your property goes on the market it is important to remember that prospective buyers often look at a range of homes within the same location. As such, it is wise to make an effort to understand the local market. You can do that by checking the sales results each Saturday night at www.reiv.com.au or in the Sunday newspapers.

There is also a range of websites that provide information about how much properties in your area have sold for over the last few weeks, months or years.

Finally, when you actually sell, remember that the demand for your home will be influenced by what other properties are for sale in your area and by the number of buyers looking. This means that the marketing and preparation of the home will also influence the sale price.

VICTORIA is the nation’s biggest building hotspot, according to a new report from the Housing Industry Association (HIA), the voice of Australia’s residential building industry.

The Population and Residential Building Hotspots report provides a snapshot of Australia’s fastest growing metropolitan and regional areas in the 2008/09 financial year.

A ‘hotspot’ is defined as a local area where the rate of population growth exceeds the national average and the value of building work is in excess of $100million.

The nation’s top building hotspot was the local area of Whittlesea North, where residential building work approved rose over $484million and the population growth rate was 18.3 per cent. This was a rise of 28.4 per cent on work approved in 2007-08.

Wyndham South – one of Victoria’s fastest

growing cities – took second place with the value of work hitting almost $284million and the population growth rate was 12.8 per cent. The total value of residential building work approved was up by 39.8 per cent on 2007-08.

Griffin-Mango Hill in Queensland took third place with almost $150million worth of residential building work approved and a population growth rate of 12.8 per cent.

Victoria’s Cardinia (Pakenham) was the nation’s fourth biggest hotspot (with more than $241million of work approved and a population growth rate of 10 per cent), while Melton East took fifth place (with more than $285million of work approved and a population growth rate of 9.5 per cent).

“It is really pleasing to see that more hotspots were evident in Victoria than in any other state in 200809,” said HIA Victorian executive director, Gil King.

“However, this doesn’t mean we can become complacent. Victoria also has had the nation’s fastest population growth, meaning demand for housing is higher than other states.

“It is crucial that the Victorian Government continues to introduce measures that aim at stimulating housing supply, including the promised expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary as well as following through on a commitment to increase infill development.”

Baw Baw West was one of only two Statistical Local Areas outside of Melbourne to register as a hotspot in Victoria, where the population grew by 2.8 per cent and the total value of residential building work approved was $105million.

Greater Geelong was the other, with a population growth rate of 2.4 per cent for 2008/09 and $133million of residential building approved.

Torquay’s newest children’s playground, Hilltop Park, was opened earlier this month. The new park, located in Fischer Street, was opened with a gala family day hosted by LJ Hooker for residents in The Quay. While the park and its playground proved popular, it was the Hooker Bear who stole the show on the day, handing out showbags to the children. Apart from a playground, Hilltop Park also boasts barbecue facilities and walking and cycling paths.

No quick fixes for affordability AUSTRALIA’S housing affordability crisis has taken 20 years to be fully manifested, and according to this year’s State of the Regions Report, it will take a decade or two of intense policy application to fix.

The report, released earlier this month, underlines that housing affordability has been a steadily growing problem.

“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 local government for the housing affordability crisis is simply not credible. Now this report backs that up.”

The report shows that decades of under investment in infrastructure and misguided industry policy have resulted in housing shortages.

“To address a problem of this magnitude requires all levels of government and industry to work collaboratively rather engaging in some old fashion council bashing and tinkering at the edges with talk of administrative reform of planning processes,” Lake said.

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

Hotondo on display at Portarlington HOTONDO Homes Ocean Grove has opened a new display home in Portarlington.

The Dakota 267 is located at 8 The Rise, Portarlington, and is the first Hotondo Homes display to be built on the Bellarine Peninsula. The home is a 27.8square design featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two spacious living areas.

“We’re excited to open our new Dakota 267 display to the public so we can show off all the hard work we’ve put into the construction and presentation of the home over the last six months,’’ Hotondo’s Allie Barker said.

“It’s the first Hotondo Homes display to be built on the Bellarine Peninsula and showcases one of our most popular family-friendly designs.’’

The Dakota 267 begins with a formal living room that could be used as a home theatre. Also adjoining the entrance hall is the master bedroom with a double walk-in robe and en suite. In the centre of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and family area that opens out to an alfresco area for year round entertaining.

The kitchen is a standout feature of the home due to its generous walk-in pantry and direct access to the attached double garage. Three remaining bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the home off the open-plan area. Each has a built-in robe and easy access to the central bathroom.

Hotondo Homes Ocean Grove has house and land packages available at the Arlington Rise estate in Portarlington. To view a large range of floor plans and products visit the sales office and showroom located on the corner of Grubb Road and Sinclair Street, Ocean Grove.

The new Dakota 267 display is located in the Arlington Rise estate at 8 The Rise, Portarlington.

Building & Construction

Tips & traps you need to know about when building a new coastal home If you’re looking to build a new home on the coast the following tips and potential traps to avoid will help turn your coastal dream into a reality.

TIPS

1. Choose a recognised expert who is a specialist in coastal building design.

If you are looking to build a coastal property ensure you speak to a builder who has experience & understanding of coastal building design. Suburban or mainstream volume builders often lack this experience, knowledge or expertise. Blue Cove Homes specialised focus on coastal properties gives them the understanding to deliver award winning coastal homes.

2. Ensure you have access to custom design services.

A specialist coastal builder will help you design your home so that all aspects of your desired lifestyle and location are optimised.

Blue Cove Homes have architects dedicated to working closely with you. Clients also have access to a professional interior designer to assist you in choosing the perfect fixtures, fittings and colours.

3. Ensure your chosen builder has Building Ethics Accreditation.

Blue Cove Homes is an Accredited Building Ethics builder, which guarantees each job is independently quality inspected at all stages of building process.

With no payment made by the client until work is independently verified as completed to prescribed standards.

TRAPS 4. Incorrect use of building products that are not compatible with seaside living.

Building a coastal house is unique. You want your house to look good without constant maintenance.

Coastal conditions can be harsh, incorrect building products can quickly break down and deteriorate.

This is what coastal living is all about, experiencing nature at its very best.

6. Incorrect use of passive solar heating & cooling elements The correct use of passive solar heating and cooling not only makes your house more comfortable to live in, but it dramatically reduces the running costs of your house. Integrating GreenSmart environmental building practices into the design of your home saves money on heating and cooling costs, saves water and the environment.

Blue Cove Homes 51 Ryrie Street Geelong Ph 1300 858 228 or 0411 107 643 or www.bluecovehomes. com.au

5. Not designing your home to maximise the flow of outdoor elements into the home Bringing the flow of the outdoor elements into your house is something that is often overlooked.

Where possible you should try and incorporate the positive elements of the outdoors and bring this into your living environment. This has the effect of reinforcing the sound, smells and ocean breezes you would not otherwise achieve if the indoors was completely shut of from the outdoors.

BLUE COVE HOMES

Understands there are two halves to building...

STRUCTURAL Architraves. Skirts. Studs. Cantilever.

Merc is back on the road

BY NATHAN HALE

FRESH from a self-imposed break, Sydney outfit Thirsty Merc are back with a new single, new album, and an exciting new national tour to blow away your winter woes.

The four-piece band will play Geelong’s Bended Elbow next Thursday, July 8, as part of the national tour to promote their latest album, Mousetrap Heart.

After bursting onto the scene with their selftitled album in 2004, Thirsty Merc were nominated for four ARIA awards the following year and were immediately branded the country’s ‘next big thing’.

Another release, Slideshows, underlined their

potential, however, after touring and promoting the albums, the band decided it was time to rest and recharge the batteries.

Back now with a new guitarist in Matt Smith – who joins Rai Thistlethwayte (guitar, piano and vocals), Phil Stack (bass) and drummer Karl Robertson – Thirsty Merc are hitting the road and ready to go.

“I suppose the break was the best part of 12 months in the end,” said Robertson.

“It just felt like a good time to have a break. We had done two albums pretty much back to back.

“After the first album and the success we had we just kept on going – which is what you have to do –

and as it turned out we didn’t have much of a break between recording the first album and touring and then the second album.

“If you don’t take time out you get worn down… there was never any talk of splitting up, it was just really a break.”

Recorded in Los Angeles with renowned producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5), Mousetrap Heart signifies a revamped and reinvigorated Thirsty Merc, and reintroduces the band with a dynamic new sound.

The break has obviously refreshed the quartet, and this translates through the music, with everything tighter and funkier, with an unmistakable bounce

back in their step.

Having enjoyed a fast-tracked introduction to all the music world has to offer, Robertson said the band is now older, wiser and better equipped to juggle the demands of touring and recording.

“I’ve always loved touring… recording is one thing and it has its own fun and stresses, but touring is what we really look forward to,” he said.

“Playing live and seeing fans really get into music is a great experience.

“We will keep producing and playing music we like… that is all we can do.”

Totally nuts‌ about nuts WALNUTS, pinenuts, almonds, chestnuts, macadamias, pecan, brazil, cashew, pistachio, hazelnuts‌ what food can you think of that can be snacked on, eaten for breakfast, suits both savoury and sweet dishes, appeals to both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, is an amazing health-food and is found in a wide range of cuisines?

Nuts! Even as I write this I am roasting a tray of almonds in the oven – you can’t believe how much better they are to snack on with a cheese and fruit platter to compete a meal, rather than raw almonds.

Simply spread the almonds, skin on, over a baking tray in a moderately hot oven (180 degrees Celsius) for 10-15 minutes – until they change colour slightly to a red-berry brown.

Allow them to cool and store in an air-tight container‌ they are an absolute health-food and we snack on them almost every night with an equally healthy glass of red. (You’ve heard it all before – the benefits of a glass of red wine – the

Mediterranean diet, etc, etc.)

Almonds have so many different names: slivers, blanched, meal, flaked, shredded, sugared.

Sugared almonds are those covered with a hard confection – and they have a long history. In 177BC a patrician Roman family distributed sugared almonds to the populace, rejoicing the event of a birth in the family, therefore, it seems the custom of presenting sugared almonds at the celebration on a birth or marriage goes back a long way in history.

Almonds are, in fact, the kernels of a stone fruit, like a peach in disguise, and the bitter almond is actually a different variety of tree. Bitter almonds owe their taste to the high amount of prussic acid, and are used in moderation.

All almonds are rich in oils, and the oil is used in making perfumes, pharmaceuticals, as well as cooking – the oil of the bitter almond is, in fact, poisonous.

Because all nuts have a high oil content they

tend to go rancid quickly, so it is best to buy in small batches, and store any types of nut in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Pine nuts are an essential ingredient in pesto – and rightfully are very expensive – have you seen how difficult it is for the birds to pry out the tiny pine-nut from the un-approachable cone of the stone pine?

Just think of what a labour-intensive industry the harvesting of pinenuts is!

Pignons (pinenuts) are even more flavoursome when lightly toasted in a dry skillet and added to salads or pasta dishes.

As with all nuts, you must watch them closely when roasting or toasting them as they can very quickly be overdone and ruined.

The macadamia nut is the only native Australian plant which has been developed into full-scale commercial production, and our industry is growing to such an extent we will soon rival the production levels attained in Hawaii.

The macadamia trees are highly decorative with long feathery flowers. The Aborigines enjoyed the ‘Kindal-Kindal’ or ‘Baphal’ for thousands of years and macadamia shells have been found in kitchens for the last 3,000.

European settlers ‘discovered’ macadamia nuts in Queensland’s sub-tropical rainforest in the mid1800s and they were named by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller after a Melbourne scientist, John Macadam.

My own strong fondness for these versatile and buttery nuts stems from the time, when returning from a long European odyssey, short on dollars, our journey back to Oz was via Hawaii.

As thrifty tourists we soon learned to take advantage of the breakfast buffet to sustain us throughout the day and dinner was easy; a Bud (Budweiser beer) and a tin of macadamia nuts!

Do yourself a favour and include nuts in your menus every day.

Adult fun at the shed FOR AN offbeat pantomime for adult eyes only, head to Drysdale’s Potato Shed this week.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Theatre 3triple2 will present Barbee in the Jungle.

Asking why the children should always be the ones having the fun, Theatre 3triple2 is encouraging the adults to come out and enjoy a great night of song, dance, laughs and participation.

The show will open your eyes and ears and take you into the world of toys, where you will meet Barb(ee), Sven, Action Man, Nursey, Headless Angie, Ron, Molly and Dolly, the Zulu’s and the incredible Dr Jones, as they venture off into the Jungle.

This unique production is designed for the grown ups who need a night out to let their hair down and have a good laugh.

Full of silly situations and great songs, Barb(ee) and her friends will trill you with the Tiger Moth adventure, have you on the edge of your seat with the great raft rescue, and amaze you with the special effects.

The show is for an adult audience so does contain sexual references, drug references and adults in funny costumes, so might not be suitable for those easily offended.

But if you are just a little bit curious to see just what Barbee in the Jungle is all about then hurry and book your table now.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

The Douro boys I HAVE mentioned before that the 2007 vintage was a watershed year for Portuguese reds.

Portugal’s modern red wine scene is really flourishing now as the rewards from the modernisation period ushers in a new phase of appreciation amongst global enthusiasts.

Descriptors such as rich, juicy, succulent, slurpy, supple, velvety etc are normally bandied around when talking about the delicious red table wines from the Duoro Valley region in Portugal.

It’s an area demarcated as Douro – DOC, that commences about 60 kilometres upstream from the coastal cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, and continues east for another 90km towards the Spanish border.

Producers such as Vallado, Crasto, Meao, Niepoort and Dona Maria – more affectionately known as ‘The Douro Boys’ are a pioneering movement involved in producing finer, more elegant table wines.

They are a group of passionate, like-minded winemakers that have emerged, intent on producing the very best wines that the valley is capable of using indigenous red grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Touriga Franca, and Tinta Barroca to produce distinctive, regional wines glowing with rich colour, velvety tannins, floral aromatics, vibrancy, and that slight smoky regional mineral tang.

Having attended a tasting recently that featured these very producers, I came away incredibly impressed as the wines showed incredible power, yet fine-tuned finesse and beautiful structure and palate weight.

There’s some supreme examples of these wines (up around the $70-$120 mark) that aren’t featured below that are just simply amazing to taste. Really, however, to keep things in perspective, I’ve concentrated on the more realistic and affordably priced wines to review.

The following tasting notes aren’t mine, which is not a case of me being lazy, it’s just that I want you to read the great style that the importer – Scott Wasley – uses to describe the wines in his notes – they’re fantastically vivid and really paint a picture of what you can expect… enjoy.

our view

Quinta do Vale Meao ‘Meandro’ D.O.C. Douro 2007 ($45) One of the most important vineyards in Douro history, Meao exists in its current form since 1999. A star property, value bordering on the ridiculous…

Touriga Nacional/Tinto Roriz/Touriga Franca/Tintas Barroca/Amarela.

Smoke, blueberry, raw tobacco, mace and meat; full, soft tannins cradle soft blue fruits, pepper and dried cranberry spice at back for interest.

Quinta do Crasto D.O.C. Douro 2007 ($30) Based on Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), it has ashy red fruits, typical asphalty terroir aromatics and is terribly suave. The fruit texture is pippy with soft tannin, a lash of bitumen and spice with a nice perfume lift.

Niepoort ‘Vertente’ Douro 2007 ($60) Dirk Niepoort is one of the most important thinkers on the Douro scene, and a noted innovator. Vertente means ‘the slope of a hill’. This is gamey-cherry-ink, fresh, with licorice, red berry and spicy acid.

A taste of Ireland at Ocean Grove

SINCE moving to Melbourne almost a decade ago, Irish-born musician Andy White has been

packing venues with his brilliant songwriting and vocal talents.

With nine albums behind him,

White will play Ocean Grove’s Piping Hot Chicken Shop this Saturday between 8pm-11pm.

Belfast-born White has worked with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Tim Finn, and since his breakthrough single Religious Persuasion, he has produced nine internationally released albums.

The latest of these, Songwriter, was recorded in Vancouver and Real World Studios by legendary United Kingdom producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Muse and Pink Floyd).

Songwriter reflects writing collaborations White has been working on for the past few years with Canadians Allison Russell (Po' Girl) and Stephen Fearing (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), as well as Australian writer Sean Sennett.

“Songwriter was written meticulously over a number of years, and recorded live in the studio – the opposite approach to Garageband, which was written spontaneously and recorded all over the world over a number of

months,” White said.

White has supported fellow Belfast great, Van Morrison, on his ‘No Guru’ tour of the UK and Ireland, while Sinead O’Connor and The Frames have guested on his recordings.

Underlining the respect in which he is held, White was inducted into the Irish Rock Hall of Fame in 1998 – joining a select list of musicians to have the honour bestowed upon them.

Socially aware in a way which comes naturally to someone who grew up in Belfast during the 1970s and ’80s, White’s work has always reflected his time and place. In trying to make this particular experience universal, his writing incorporates and transcends the boundaries of his native land.

For more information on White, visit www.andywhite.com and for more information on Saturday night’s performance – with tickets priced at $10 – visit www. pipinghotchickenshop.com.au or phone 5255 1566.

Is your Torquay Hotel bumper sticker on?

DON’T forget to grab your Torquay Hotel bumper sticker for your chance to WIN BIG! Winners will be selected weekly with this week offering three prizes – two surfboards and a dinner voucher for two in the bistro.

Winners will be announced each week in the Surf Coast Times, so slap your sticker on today!

Once on your car, the sticker automatically enters you into the draw for the weekly prizes and giveaways.

Weekly winners will be announced, with the publication of a registration plate of a randomly selected vehicle that carries the Torquay Hotel bumper sticker on it.

And if you would like additional stickers, they are available from the Torquay Hotel bottle shop and from the hotel’s reception.

Torquay to host a free day out

Tuesday 29 June 2010

LOCAL youngsters are being encouraged to attend a free event management training day at Torquay this Thursday.

The programme is part of The Push’s annual 2010 Push FReeZA Summits – with the Torquay event being held at the Children’s Hub at 27 Grossmans Road.

The summit will feature a range of industry professionals sharing event management advice and information, as well as a special guest live music performance and free lunch.

Young people interested in getting involved in their community’s music, arts, entertainment and cultural activities are encouraged to attend. “The Push FReeZA Summits are a fantastic opportunity for young people hoping to improve their knowledge of event management issues as well as participate in some “hands on� workshops, network with their local FReeZA committees and hear first hand from music industry experts,� said The Push’s artistic director, Shane Wickens.

Melbourne band City Escape and hip hop artist Briggs will be tackling the popular artist development session, called From The Horse’s Mouth.

City Escape released their debut EP, Avalanches, last year and have toured with the likes of The Secret Handshake and House vs Hurricane while

headlining their own successful shows. Indigenous hip hop artist Briggs is the first signing to Hilltop Hoods’ label, Golden Era. Both artists will offer advice on developing a career in the music industry, while City Escape will be playing a special lunchtime acoustic set, and Briggs will be staging an MC workshop, offering insights into the art of lyric writing, rhyme technique, syllable structure and the origins of hip hop.

They will be joined by Caroline Moore, who is the Apollo Bay Music Festival director. The programme will feature sessions on volunteering at festivals, setting up a PA, an explanation of all job roles involved in running an event, setting up sponsorship partnerships and much more.

There will also be an opportunity to network with local FReeZA committees from Moyne/ Warrnambool, Colac, Torquay/Surf Coast, Wodonga, Wyndham/Werribee, Mornington Peninsula, Mansfield and many others.

Young people interested in getting involved in their community’s music, arts, entertainment and cultural activities are encouraged to attend.

For more information, phone The Push on 9380 1277 or download the registration form via www. thepush.com.au where you can also download the day’s full programme.

City Escape will be a special guest at Thursday’s summit.

GEELONG AND SURFCOAST GARDEN MAINTENANCE IF YOU would like a lovely garden but have not been blessed with green fingers then call Geelong and Surfcoast Garden Maintenance.

The owner of the locally owned and operated gardening business, Ocean Grove’s David Forbes, prides himself on going the extra mile for his clients. “I am very big on customer service,� he said. “I give people exactly what they want and work with them along the way to ensure their satisfaction.�

The garden guru does everything from residential and commercial mowing to garden health assessments and soft landscaping.

Other services include brush cutting,

pruning, weed control, window cleaning, gutter clearing, drought proofing and rubbish removal. “I do everything. And I do it well. It’s not just a matter of mowing the lawn,� Forbes said. “I make sure my customers are completely happy with my service and keep them informed every step of the way. “I’m not the kind of person who would show up late, do a shabby job and then disappear. I focus on the little things and do a good job because repeat business is important to me.�

For more information, phone David Forbes on 0437 381 872.

Parks Victoria advises...

Fox control – Great Otway National Park and Anglesea Heath Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy, notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 5 July 2010 until Sunday 5 September 2010.

Baits will be laid at strategic sites within the heathy woodland of the Great Otway National Park and Anglesea Heath where foxes threaten fauna. These locations are within the parishes of Jan Juc and Wormbete.

1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parishes are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Operational details may be obtained from Frank Gleeson by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

JUNE 29 - JULY 05 2010 Other people are acting as a mirror, and reflecting back personal traits that you may have been avoiding. Use these experiences to learn more about your weaknesses, and your strengths. On the weekend, home is definitely where the heart is but resist the urge be too hard on yourself – and too critical of others.

‘Keep moving forward and don’t look back’ is your current motto. With Jupiter and Uranus both in your sign, you’re full of initiative as you take the lead. Make sure you think things through though (especially on Friday and Sunday). You don’t want to be saddled with the long-term consequences of impulsive and imprudent actions.

The Sun and Mercury are in your sign, which boosts your energy levels and mental abilities. But comfort eating is a danger so try to nurture yourself in less fattening ways! Don’t underestimate your ability to contribute to your local community. Be inspired by Princess Diana (born on July 1) “Everyone has the potential to give something back.”

Don’t even try to second-guess the behavior of others this week Libra.

They will continually surprise (and flummox) you with their unusual and unpredictable antics, so don’t lose sleep trying to work out where they’re coming from. If you expect the unexpected – and are flexible – then you’ll manage just fine.

Saturn is testing platonic relationships. Is a friend or acquaintance the real deal? Look at what they are doing, rather than what they are saying – actions usually speak louder than words! Don’t let jealousy or guilt games spoil an otherwise wonderful weekend. If you are possessive, it will only drive loved ones away.

Leos love to live out loud! With vivacious Venus in your sign (until July 10) you’re in the mood to strut your stuff and flirt outrageously. Be inspired by birthday great Mel Brooks (born on June 28) “When you got it, flaunt it.” If you are irresponsible with money this weekend, then Saturn will step in and teach you a hard lesson.

Professional partnerships are favoured midweek, as Venus boosts your ability to win friends and influence people. You’re in the mood to manipulate others on Sunday but be warned - loved ones are primed to fight back, so you may find you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.

Snuggle up Scorpio, it’s time to make love not war!

It may feel as if everyone wants a piece of you this week Aquarius. If you’re smart, you’ll do all you can to avoid power struggles and ego trips (especially when it comes to the big two – sex and money). Compromise and cooperation will get you a lot further, a lot faster. Singles – true love could be as close as the boy or girl next door!

Put your mind to work this week. Mental activities involving business, finance and family are favoured, as you pick up new information with lightning speed. Geminis love nothing better than a good old gossip but resist the urge to be the neighbourhood nosey-parker – and make sure you’re not shirking domestic responsibilities.

You’re keen to speak up (especially in a group situation) but try not to be a carping critic. Make your comments constructive and positive. Some Virgos will bump into an old friend, discover long-forgotten love-letters, or re-connect with a former flame. Just remember – memories are so seductive because they’re so selective.

Does life seem like all work and no play at the moment? Hang in there Sagittarius – the professional skills you polish now will pay off handsomely further down the track. Leave room in your busy schedule to spend time with an important child in your life, so you can explore a new sport, hobby or creative activity together.

From Thursday through to Saturday, you’re clear about what you want, even though you may appear confused to others. (Welcome to Planet Pisces!) So don’t let loved ones push you around or attempt to persuade you to do something you don’t believe in. Stand strong as you spell out the boundaries of what’s fair and reasonable for you.

Star returns to town

FORMER Torquay Football Club junior and current Port Adelaide star, Travis Boak, made a special trip home on the weekend.

Boak, who has forged a name for himself as one of the Power’s premier midfielders, was in town to watch two junior teams – who take

to the field under his name – play their weekly fixtures.

In a move to recognise some of the stars of the club, Torquay Football Club has named 10 of its junior teams after the players.

Five under 10 teams and five under 12 teams

play under the names Torquay Boak, Torquay Grossman, Torquay Voss, Torquay Shearer and Torquay Ashley. “We named the teams after five legends of the club,� said Torquay junior spokesman and under 16 coach, Steve Grossman.

“Travis was there on the weekend with his mother and they were both very emotional and proud that the family name has been recognised by the club. “The teams presented Travis with a plaque and then he watched the games.�

Golf Tips: Sean Charleston, LGC golf professional.

1. Pitching: avoiding the gutter ball.

Many golfers hit gutter balls (similar to a ball finishing in the gutter in lawn bowls) with their pitching action. The key to pitching is making sure the hands are ahead of the club head at the point of impact. The club head accelerating past your hands encourages the leading edge to hit the ball first. This will cause the ball to fly over the back of the green.

2. We have the ‘YES’ putting fitting machine available in the Pro Shop.

Captain’s update Rules Night: David Greenhill (VGA) is conducting a rules night at East Geelong Golf Club on July 21 at 7pm. Any member interested should see Peter Maishman or Heather Perkins asap to gain a spot.

B Grade Championship. At one stage the organisers thought it may have to be cancelled due toweather, but those fearless women of our district donned wet weather gear and strode up the fairways. The eventual winner was Di Wallace from Colac Golf Club who returned a great fine weather score, let alone the conditions she played in.

Saturday Guest day 4B had us on a decidedly cool Saturday entertaining our visitors. Good scores in the member/guest for the women were Margaret Burchell and her sister, a Northern GC member with 39 points.

Member/member winners were Carmel Scarff and Helen Powe with 43 points.

Good scores also came in the men’s section with the best member/guest score, Gavin Frith and his guest from Maryborough GC Adam Shawcross with 46 points. Member/member winners were Graeme Short and Robert Stiglbauer with 48 points, some great score!

Sunday Mixed Foursomes Championship: Luckily we awoke after three days of less than nice golf weather

to sunshine and a gentle breeze to compete for our board event. A good field entered the 12N SGS and I have it on good authority that the winners playing partners thought that after a top first 9, they were surely going to romp the win in. Golf being golf, the second nine was a tad different to the first, but they took the win with a 0.5 shot winning margin.

Will Stringer and partner Heather Spry played well to ensure that their names go up in lights on the honor board, and their playing partners couldn’t have been happier to witness their delight at hearing their names called out as winners with a 74 nett. Well done Will and Heather.

Runners-up were Geraldine and Jim Collison with 74.5, both good scores on a heavy track.

Mens Senior Pennant: Both divisions lost but we can regroup and take the wins next week. Good luck fellas.

Whats coming up: Next Friday the women host their Salver invitation team event. Wednesday the women play Rd 1 of the Winter Plate Par event.

Competition results Tuesday men’s event was a stableford multiplier that can be a friendship breaker if you score a very nice 3 points and your partner wipes the hole. Not so for the winners who managed a fine 81 points. Don Myers and Matt Tomkinson were the pair still friends at game end and runners-up, Jim Fisher and Matt Salter were on 77 points.

Wednesday women played a pairs game as well with probably more risk to friendships. This time the girls played the South Western District Ladies Golf Association Silver Salver Foursomes. The best score for Port was the pair of Sandy Issell and Jacky Rowe with 75.5. But the winning score was Irene Edmunds and Margaret Mascoll with 74.5.

On Wednesday off a handicap of 13 he came in with 42 points. He’s making the game look easy, breaking 80 for the first time. Since joining The Sands about a year ago his handicap has been plummeting!

Ted Matson also had a fine round and finished runner-up with 40 points. Brad Liddicoat won NTP on the 7th and Barry Tippett took NTP on the 13th in the final group of the day.

The pro shop honours went to our trusty pro Browny who had 37 points from our elder statesman Cam

Muller who had 36 points.

Speaking of Darrell, he and Phil Hodge teamed up together for the State Foursomes Championships at Sandhurst last week and finished with a respectable 77.

On Saturday the rain poured and the barometer dropped to single figures but still 150 or so golfers fronted for the 4BBB Par. Geoff Caddy and Noel Mullen finished with a fabulous 12 up from Charlie Sharplin and Peter Cribb on ten up. Chris Burke won NTP on the 5th, Andrew McDonald on the 7th, while on the back nine Peter Gaylard won NTP on the 13th and Andy Samu on the 17th.

Women’s competition The women played a foursomes stableford on Thursday with three groups finishing on the same score of 35 points. Eventually the winners were separated with Christine Yelland and Kerin Galbally winning on a countback from Thelma Dainton and Heather Smith.

Slogging it out in the rain SURF Coast teams battled wet and cold conditions on the weekend, with one win and a couple of draws. Muddy pitches and passing showers, combined with chilly temperatures made life uncomfortable for players and spectators alike.

FFV Provisional 2 Men: Surf Coast (0) v Western Eagles (0) The Surf Coast Men’s team was away this weekend, battling it out for a hard-fought 0-0 draw against second placed and former National Soccer League club, Western Eagles. The draw sees the club maintain a four-point gap at the top of the table. It was an especially good performance by Surf Coast given star striker Matt Roberts was sidelined with an ankle injury in the early part of the first half.

Women: Surf Coast (1) v Breakwater Eagles (3) The women continue to display the good form they are becoming known for, although they couldn’t clinch a victory against the Eagles, who are currently top of the ladder, they exposed the Breakwater team’s weaknesses with some superb tactical play. They certainly earned the respect of their opponents, with both the Eagles coach and the match referee commenting on their excellent performance afterwards.

U16 Girls: Surf Coast (6) v Kardinia (0) The Surf Coast Under 16 girls this week bounced back from their first defeat of the season last week with stirring 6-0 win against Kardinia, a team that has troubled them in the past.

The win was notable in that it was achieved without two star players in Jacquie Brotchie and Maddie Lambert.

U14 Girls: Surf Coast Yellow (2) v Kardinia (2) It was the best performance of the season for the Yellows, who broke Kardinia’s eight-match winning streak to hold them to an exciting 2-2 draw at Connewarre in front of a big crowd of home supporters. A free kick awarded to the Yellows in the final minute could have clinched them the match but, unfortunately, it was not to be. Congratulations to the Yellows for an outstanding effort.

U14 Girls: Surf Coast Blue (1) v Surfside (6) No doubt the most disappointing loss for the team in a two-year period. A 6-1 loss to a team that was below us on the ladder is not what the team or coach deserves. The frustration for the coach and supporters is that in the last 15 minutes of the game Surf Coast suddenly woke up and had all the attack which resulted in a goal and almost a couple of others. Big match next one with the local derby against a fast improving Yellow.

U12 Girls: Surf Coast (1) v Surfside (0) A strong gutsy 1-0 win to the Legends against their nemesis Surfside was played out in cold, wet and miserable conditions at the Ocean Grove ground. The weather may have been the reason several of the Legends’ guns failed to fire on all pistons. Hirdy again weaved some magic to kick the winner in the first half but it was a struggle to get any others into the net with Surfside playing some good footy in defence. The Legends played better football and deserved the win. The legends remain undefeated and on top of the ladder. Good work girls in trying conditions.

It took the eventual winner of the event to knock out Adam Robertson in the Sri Lankan Pro last week. Robertson met Julian Wilson from the Sunshine Coast in the round of 16 and went down to the 22-year-old in a blockbuster heat. Wilsons opening ride of 8.9 put ‘Robbo’ right behind the eight ball and he was forced to settle for ninth overall. Wilson watches ‘Robbo’ as he runs up the point break at Arugam Bay during their heat.

fishing

81

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

BY GARRY KERR

THE LEGISLATION to allow the fishing of mako sharks has now been passed through parliament.

For once, it seems commonsense has prevailed.

To all those anglers who signed the petitions and to all those who helped organise the rallies and the petitions themselves it should be acknowledged that your hard work has finally been recognised by the passing of this legislation.

I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times for supporting recreational fishermen through this column and allowing the readers to become aware of these issues.

It was a good win, but, unfortunately, the media release below confirms that our choice of recreational sport is under even more threat now.

The following extracts in relation to fishing are taken from the joint media release issued last week by 32 environmental groups on the Humane Society website, see www.hsi.org.au “In the face of one of the world’s worst environmental disasters, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, an unprecedented alliance of 32 environment groups including the Australian Conservation Foundation, WWF Australia and Pew Environment Group are calling on all political parties to commit to a network of large marine sanctuaries this coming election to provide safeguards for Australia’s unique marine life,” said Michelle Grady of the Pew Environment Group-Australia.

“A network of large marine sanctuaries is backed by science as being the best way to protect our unique marine life, to allow fish stocks to recover, to provide safeguards against the impacts of threats such as oil spills.

“In light of Australia’s failure to act on the very clear risk posed by deepwater drilling, the alliance of environment organisations is calling on the federal

government to release the Montana Inquiry findings without delay, and for all political parties to commit in the lead up to this federal election to:1. Place a moratorium on new oil and gas approvals in Australian waters until the safety issues associated with deepwater drilling have been addressed.

2. Declare a national network of marine sanctuaries in Australian waters including Australia’s South West marine region, the Coral Sea and the Kimberley, to safeguard Australia’s unique and threatened marine life.

“Australia lays claim to the third largest marine jurisdiction of any nation on earth, and a marine area almost twice the size of our continent.”

Recreational fishermen do not want to see such environmental disasters occur, but recreational fishermen are not those who drill oil wells nor are we the ones who cause such disasters.

I would hope that scientific studies would be produced to show exactly what fish stocks are supposedly threatened in Australian waters that they intend to recommend closing to Australian anglers.

I would also hope that recreational anglers are consulted before any government was to try and implement such bans.

The Mako shark issue has already shown the problems that inconclusive studies and impromptu action can cause, with the recommendation of such bans.

Existing fisheries management programmes are already in place to maintain our mako population and our existing fish populations.

To look to create a national network of marine parks banning fishermen from areas they have fished for years to combat possible oil drilling applications, just goes to show how much our right to fish is at risk.

Why look at penalising recreational fishing for possible potential mining accidents?
