New deal set to ease the cost of increased fees for Queenscliff Harbour fishermen

BY ALISON MARTIN PARKS Victoria has struck a deal with Queenscliff’s commercial fishermen and couta boat owners to offset increasing harbour fees.

The rate negotiation was announced last week, just days before Premier John Brumby arrived in Queenscliff to officially open the new state-of-theart harbour.

Brumby was accompanied by Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Gavin Jennings, and Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, at the harbour launch.

While fishermen and boat owners are yet to be notified of the negotiated berth costs, Neville confirmed last Thursday that at the expiration of the fee moratorium next February, the local commercial

Surf Forecast

fishing fleet “would receive additional financial support until June 2015”.

Commercial fisherman, Bill Cull, said it was great to see commercial fishing at Queenscliff supported at the new harbour.

A Parks Victoria spokesperson said after extensive community consultation, it had negotiated the post-moratorium rate to increase in steps up to the final rate, over a period of four and a half years.

The spokesperson said the new arrangement would allow further time for the commercial fisherman to adapt to the new rates.

“This support will encourage them to continue to use the harbour and the boat yard, therefore supporting the new jobs in and around the harbour,” the spokesperson said.

“Individual commercial fisherman will be advised of the rate by Parks Victoria and QHPL in the coming weeks.”

Neville said the commercial fishing fleet will benefit from the extended phase-in of new fees up to June 2015.

“After this, the commercial fishing fleet will continue to be eligible for a 15 per cent discount off the full price per annum,” she said.

“Additionally, planning work is currently under way for alternative mooring options for heritage and couta boats.

“Importantly, these berth holders will have the option of a mooring near the harbour. The new mooring area will require the use of a tender to access the moored boats which will be provided and managed by QHPL Pty Ltd.”

Neville said the new deal would enable local users to enjoy the significant improvements from the investment of $38million and to further establish their long-term presence in the revitalised harbour.

“The commercial fishing fleet is an important element of the ’working harbour’ and an essential part of the tourism and visitor experience associated with the revitalised harbour and Bellarine Peninsula,” she said.

“During the community consultation stage of the proposed harbour, principles were established to maintain both a safe working harbour, and the heritage aspects of the harbour, including the continued presence of the couta boats.”

All individual berth rates vary depending on length of boat, location in the harbour and other considerations.

I’m still waiting for an answer

BY ALISON MARTIN

IN JULY 2009, Portarlington’s Colin Evans was diagnosed with prostate cancer and told he needed treatment within three months.

Eight months later, he is still waiting and no closer to knowing when he will receive the radical prostatectomy he needs.

Evans said he was no longer worrying about the operation and more frustrated by the system that had left his life in limbo for so long. “I’m not going to let it get me down. I can’t complain about the hospital, but they give you no indication of when you will get in,� he said.

Concerned over the lengthy treatment, Evans’s son contacted Barwon Health, asking when his father would receive the prostatectomy.

The emailed response gave no date or expected timeframe, except to inform the family the wait time for a radical prostatectomy category two was 204 days.

As it stands, Evans has been waiting more than 240 days and counting.

Evans’s wife, Pam, admitted it had been a worrying eight months. “I know there are probably people being diagnosed each week but you hear nothing,

so you ring,� she said. “They tell you you’ve rang at a busy time and you are put on hold listening to how great the hospital is. And then they can’t tell you anything.�

Evans has not been able to use the private health system because he has been receiving intermittent treatment for bladder cancer for the past 10 years. “You can’t get health insurance if you have a pre-existing condition. So there’s not much we can do,� he said.

The lack of communication and long wait has also put pressure on Evans’ business.

The self-employed builder said with no idea when he would be operated on, it had been difficult to take on work without being able to guarantee he would be able to complete the job. “Even if we knew which month I would be having (the prostatectomy) we could organise our life a bit,â€? he said. “And they tell you early treatment is important‌ back when I was diagnosed, they said six out of 12 tests were cancerous – and they don’t stop growing.â€?

A Barwon Health spokesperson said while patient confidentiality prevented them discussing Evans’ situation, she confirmed operating theatres at Geelong were operating at 99 per cent capacity.

3

“We understand and regret the mental and physical affect on patients on waiting lists,� the spokeswoman said. “Barwon Health has experienced an increase in demand for emergency surgery which impacts on elective surgery waiting lists. “We are having two new operating theatres built but that doesn’t change the current situation.�

Shadow Minister for Health, David Davis, said category two patients should be treated within 90 days.

Taking statistics from the Your Hospitals report, Davis said only 68 per sent of Geelong Hospital patients were admitted within 90 days but the target was 80 per cent.

He said Geelong Hospital had not been able to meet the target since 2004.

A spokesperson for the Victorian Health Department said the government knew it could do more to address the waiting list situation.

Following the state government’s refusal to support the federal government’s plan for a national hospital system, the spokesperson said the state needed “a proper partnership with the federal government to ensure more patients get their treatment�.

Colin Evans has been waiting for eight months to find out when he will be operated on.

$30,000 boost for seafood show QUEENSCLIFF’S inaugural Australian Seafood Show has been boosted with a $30,000 state government grant announced by Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville.

Neville said the funding would assist the recreational and retail trade show on

April 2 to 3, and an industry trade show on April 6 and 7. “The Australian Seafood Show will build on the success of the Queenscliff Seafood Feast, which is Australia’s biggest seafood festival, attracting 15,000 people this year,� Neville said.

“Held each Good Friday, the Queenscliff Seafood Feast raises money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal and prepares more than six-and-a-half tonnes of donated seafood by more than 500 skilled volunteers.�

Neville said the Australian Seafood

Clifton Springs Primary School will host the community’s 30th annual Bunyip Festival this Saturday, from 10am-3pm. Students (from left) Maddi, Emily and Jessica are ready for all the fun.

Show offered an exceptional opportunity to build on the success of the Queenscliff Seafood Feast by offering trade benefits, particularly for regional businesses. “The Australian Seafood Show is expected to attract an additional 5,000 people to Queenscliff,� Neville said. “The two trade shows will also offer additional attractions that will lead to increased visitation and length of stay, resulting in increased tourism yield for the Bellarine Peninsula. “The recreational and retail trade show, including a ‘cellar door’ that offers opportunities for local wineries to match seafood tasting from the floor, will provide access for more than 20,000 customers. “The industry trade show will

showcase a range of seafood products and value-added seafood services from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, exporters and importers.�

Volunteer marketing manager, Scott Talbot, said he was looking forward to the festival. “Charity Restaurant is the talk of the Bellarine Peninsula and will be nothing short of spectacular,� Talbot said. “Australia’s finest seafood paired with edgy ambience will be entertaining the senses of lunch and dinner guests for one week only. “Seven months of planning and recruiting experts in every field will be put into action over seven days. Charity Restaurant will be talked about for years to come.�

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, discusses the $30,000 grant for the Australian Seafood Show with Scott Talbot.

Community urged to attend meeting

BY ALISON MARTIN LOCAL residents with an interest in the operations of foreshore authority, Bellarine Bayside, have been invited to attend a public meeting tomorrow.

The meeting has been organised by Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, in response to a community petition, calling for the authority to be abolished.

He said if elected, the Liberal Party would not support the abolition of the authority but would initiate a major overhaul of the authority operations.

Reiter said the restructuring of

Bellarine Bayside would address independence and transparency issues raised by community members.

“Overhaul is required, not abolition.

The Liberal-Nationals coalition will reform the committee structure within the State Department of Sustainability and Environment based on community consultation,” he said.

Reiter has issued an invitation to Bellarine Bayside chief executive officer and committee members and Department of Sustainability and Environment representatives.

Reiter said all views and concerns would be used to develop plans for

5

a restructure of the authority, which was why it was essential for as many people to attend as possible.

“I want this meeting to be productive and a positive step towards addressing the community’s concerns,” he said.

The meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, March 17 from 7pm9pm at St Leonards Memorial Hall, Murradoc Road.

The size of the hall will limit the maximum number of residents who can attend to 100.

The event will be webcast the next day at www.kurtreiter.com for those unable to attend.

Have your say on Ocean Grove plan Vue Grand up for sale Part-owner Anthony Closter has put the Vue Grand Hotel up for sale.

OCEAN Grove residents can discuss the draft Ocean Grove Sporting Infrastructure Plan at a special community session next Monday, March 22.

The ‘drop-in’ session with City of Greater Geelong officers and project consultants will be held from 7pm-8pm at the Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre in the children’s services room on Shell Road, Ocean Grove.

The draft has been developed following extensive consultation with community members and sporting

groups and public comment is invited until Friday, April 2.

Ocean Grove councillor, Jan Farrell, said the plan would direct the steps for developing Shell Road into the major sporting precinct in Ocean Grove.

“The sporting infrastructure plan will include sustainable masterplans for the futures of Shell Road Reserve, Ocean Grove Memorial Recreation Reserve and Collendina Reserve,” she said.

“With many different facilities to be upgraded and improved, the plan

shows a very positive future for a variety of sports in Ocean Grove.

“I encourage Ocean Grove residents to take the time to look at the draft plan and have a say about the future of sporting infrastructure in their town.

“The drop-in session is a great opportunity to chat with our officers and have your questions answered about the draft plan.”

Copies of the draft plan and feedback forms are available at the CoGG customer service centre, 66-70 The Avenue, Ocean Grove, or at www. geelongaustralia.com.au

Gold for Lonsdale nippers

POINT Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club Nippers returned with gold from the 2010 Victorian Junior Life Saving Championships.

The championships were held at Lakes Entrance recently and Max Lazarus won the under 11 board race.

Nippers Scott Wylie and Sam Slorach also made it to the final in the same race, with Scott placing 8th and Sam finishing in 11th place.

Club secretary, Matthew Ponsford,

Point Lonsdale nippers performed well at the state carnival.

said the result was “a terrific achievement to have three of the five Point Lonsdale members in a final that had 18 competitors”.

The three boys also had success in the under 11 board relay race, winning a bronze medal in the final.

“Not only did the boys compete in the board races, but they did very well in other events, including iron nipper and beach flags,” Ponsford said.

“Max’s younger sister, Holly, and

Sam’s younger brother, Ben, also took part in a wide variety of events and are to be congratulated for their efforts and participation. The weekend is certainly not just about who finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd, but participating in a very healthy activity.”

During the season, the club had received a boost from professional surf coach, David Strahan, who assisted with developing the club’s aquatic sports skills.

Pier work set to stop for charity

BY ALISON MARTIN THE $1.5million reconstruction of Queenscliff’s historic pier will temporarily stop a week before Easter to allow the first Charity Restaurant to be created.

The two stages of works will include the rebuilding of the pier’s inner approach rebuilt to the waiting shed and the reconstruction of the pier’s outer end.

The project is being carried out by Drysdale-based maritime construction company, Elstone Diving Services and is currently slightly ahead of schedule.

A Parks Victoria spokesperson said the reconstruction project had been planned around the Easter event and would recommence after the restaurant closed.

He said the contractors would allow time for the restaurant to be set up and packed up after the six-day event.

The repairs will retain the pier’s historical design and the state

Elstone Diving Services are reconstructing a section of the historic Queenscliff pier but will stop work before Easter to allow Charity Restaurant to serve “the finest Australian seafood” and raise money for important organisations.

Playspace rules

BY ALISON MARTIN THE NEW Queenscliff playspace is ready to be explored and will be officially opened next weekend.

The design combines the town’s traditional maritime theme with the latest, safest playing equipment and children who have tested the playspace are impressed.

The play area has been created on the sea side of Princess Park and features a climbing wave, mini lighthouse, swings for all abilities, spinner, seating and the rip vortex maze.

Having fun at the new playspace in Queenscliff were Michelle Cooper, Borough of Queenscliffe councillor, Helene Butler, with Flynn, Darcie and Tayah on the spinner.

The mix of components provides appeal for children of all ages, however much energy they have to expel, and plenty of room just to run around.

The Borough of Queenscliffe’s playspace concept was developed by a working party of local parents and council representatives, with community consultation assisting with the final plan.

The official opening is expected to be hosted by the borough as part of the many activities coinciding with this weekend’s Queenscliff Maritime festivities.

Shaving for a good cause

Talent time at the show THE 2010 Bellarine Agricultural Show provided a great opportunity for local talent and skills to be showcased.

Bellarine Agricultural Society member, Beryl Downey, said the show had also been a success thanks to the support from local businesses and sponsors.

Full results are being compiled and the following winners have been confirmed: Guess the weight of the bull winner: Janet Campbell, Portarlington (747kg).

THIRTEEN Saint Ignatius College students and their Indonesian teacher lost their locks and in the process raised more than $1,500 for leukaemia patients.

Last week, Saint Ignatius College hosted its own Shave for a Cure, to complement the Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave – one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events.

Money raised is used by the Leukaemia Foundation to fund free services to support patients and families living with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders. It also funds blood cancer research to find better treatments and the search for a cure.

The 13 students and teacher, Bu Hall, all committed to shaving and raised at least $100 each.

Students who decided to keep their hair were also involved by donating money to have their hair coloured and supporting those who shaved.

Head of the college’s middle school, Narelle Fry, and social justice co-ordinator, Heather Johnston, said events like Shave for a Cure fostered community, respect and compassion for others and encouraged students to make a difference in the world.

The City of Greater Geelong is currently completing improvements to playgrounds and parks throughout the region, which also include new picnic settings and fencing, as well as the new equipment.

CoGG mayor, John Mitchell, said it was council’s priority to not only maintain the safety of playgrounds within the municipality, but also to “encourage families to head outside and use them”.

“These upgraded parks are well worth a visit so make sure you take the kids to one closest to you this weekend,” he said.

Parks that received upgrades include Kingston Park and Lookout Reserve at Ocean Grove, Kensington Estate at Leopold, Drysdale Railway park and Lockington Reserve in Point Lonsdale.

Winegrowers gain support

BELLARINE winegrowers have the support of the Liberal Party, which has promised to “scrap the unfair liquor licensing fee”, if elected at the 2010 state election.

Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, said the Liberal-Nationals coalition would introduce a genuinely riskbased system to help grow regional tourism and the wine industry.

“The government’s new liquor licensing laws reflect a lack of insight and interest in the different needs between city and regional communities,” he said.

Reiter said the blanket approach to increase fees by almost 700 per cent in some cases would “destroy local wine growers and their participation in community events and festivals as well as unfairly disadvantage local cafes and hotels”.

He said after meeting with local wine growers, he learned of an established, small family vineyard which opened their

cellar door every weekend to sell their wine and be part of the Bellarine Taste Trail.

“They have explained to me the increased fees are ‘staggering’ and they will no longer attend farmers markets or festivals,” Reiter said.

He said the Bellarine’s wineries, cafes and businesses were being penalised because of security issues in the city.

Reiter was critical of Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville’s response to the issue, in which she suggested “if businesses were struggling to pay their licensing fees they should contact the Director of Liquor Licensing”.

“Being a business owner myself, and from simply a human perspective, I do not believe it is appropriate to advise small business owners, in a time of crisis, to ‘write a letter’ to a monolithic department, just to wait for a template response and no action,” he said.

Enjoy a fun run with Thomas

BELLARINE families looking for a fun and healthy way to spend a Sunday are invited to the annual Kids’ Rotary Fun Run with Thomas.

Children can participate in one of six individual fun runs with Thomas the Tank Engine along the Bellarine Rail Trail, while also enjoying giveaways, rides, jumping castle, face painting, animal farm and hot cross buns.

The day is an initiative of Rotary Club Highton Kardinia and all proceeds will go to the Kids Plus Foundation to support special needs babies and children across the Barwon region.

The fun run will be held on Sunday, March 28, from 9am to 3pm, at Drysdale Railway Station. To register for the run, phone 0412 211 653 or visit the website, www.thomasfunrun.com

Shadow Minister for Public Transport & Shadow Minister for Roads

A dream to chase Dear Editor, How exciting to read of the concept of an arts centre/ music ‘university’ in the Spring Creek area (Surf Coast Times, March 9).

Sadly, we must all accept that this farmland WILL be developed.

Now ideas need to be voiced to determine the most pleasing, environmentally gentle, locals and tourist friendly use for this beautiful area.

To imagine the Vic College of the Arts decentralising to Spring Creek Torquay is fingertingling exciting – the ultimate maybe – but even a smaller ‘fish’ would be good to catch.

Low density student and tutors accommodation could be used between semesters for much-needed tourist beds.

Holiday live-in intensive courses and summer schools could be conducted, relevant support systems would employ firstly builders, later cleaners, caterers, coffee shops, etc. etc. and of course performances accessible to all.

Torquay could then really be on the map – not only for surfing, but for fine arts and music tuition at the highest level – with performances in indoor and outdoor theatres.

Bring on the dream, and I hope I live long enough to enjoy it!

Bunnings saga no surprise

Michael Crutchfield MP Member for South Barwon

For State Issues

PLEASE CONTACT 152 High Street, Belmont 3216

Ph:

5244 2288 Fax: 5244 2327

Dear Editor, As with many other residents I was also dismayed but not at all surprised by the ‘Bunnings Chapter’ of the West Coast Business Park saga.

An earlier chapter went something like this: In early 2009 myself and other residents noticed that some planting had been undertaken in the vegetation buffer zone separating the industrial area from the highway. This was at the height of summer and, as expected, the majority of the plants did not survive.

We approached the shire to inquire about follow up plantings and after three or four months of emails and phone calls we were told that they couldn’t get the developers to return to the site.

In the end the new banksias and eucalyptus trees that you see were planted by the shire – presumably at the ratepayers’ expense.

Further plantings (at whose expense? ) will still be needed to bring the buffer zone to anywhere near what was shown on the plans.

How is it that developers can sign a document with detailed environmental plans and then not be held accountable when they fail to deliver? And why is it that so often the residents and not the relevant council officers are the ones to ask the hard questions?

Answers anyone?

Tony Smales Jan Juc

Do we need Bunnings?

Authorised by M. Crutchfield, 152 High Street, Belmont, 3216

Dear Editor, I am concerned that the Surf Coast Shire is proceeding to approve special large signage for Bunnings to

establish an outlet in the Torquay Industrial Estate facing the highway.

I would like to raise two issues: • I thought that the ‘Industrial Estate’ was, as the name implies, for industrial-based operations, not a ‘retail shopping precinct’. Signage is therefore only required to identify particular businesses rather that promote themselves to the retail shopper. I assume this was one of the reasons that the original signage was limited to 10sqm.

• The Shire justified the location of the ‘Industrial Estate’ at the gateway to Torquay by promoting the fact that it would be shielded by a buffer zone of large trees, and the highway-facing buildings would be glass fronted and not of an industrial building style.

Do we really need Bunnings that desperately when there is already one just up the road at Waurn Ponds?

John Cockbill Torquay

Residents will not forget Dear Editor, Next time the Surf Coast Shire elections roll around I urge local residents to remember the councillors who voted to allow the desecration of the entry to our town.

In relation to signage, stipulations are put in place to ensure the commercial area north of Torquay retains some type of subtlety.

Planting to reduce the visual impact, a reasonable set back and restrictions on the size and amount of signs are all agreed upon to minimise the visual impact of the industrial development. But then big business wants to come to town and suddenly these restrictions are not worth the paper they are written on.

Not only does Planning Minister Justin Madden agree to steamroll the whole process, but the mayor and a majority of our councillors also agree to ignore these sensible guidelines.

No doubt our councillors will trot out some justification along the lines of the benefits to the community being worth breaking the rules, but really, if huge companies want to come to the Surf Coast they should simply have to abide by the same rules as everyone else.

To councillors Hodge and Northeast, thanks for having the moral fibre to vote against this amendment.

And not surprisingly, the silence from both Michael Crutchfield and Darren Cheeseman is deafening – but then again, no photo opportunity exists here, does it?

Simon Hunnam Torquay

A lack of respect Dear Editor, The Surf Coast councillors, with the exception of Rose Hodge and Simon Northeast, have shown total disregard for Torquay businesses and community by allowing Bunnings to erect large signage at the gateway to our town.

Apart from being discriminatory to other businesses, this decision is yet another instance of council failing to protect and serve the residents of Torquay.

For those councillors who do not live here, we might be ‘just Torquay’, but to us Torquay is an iconic, unique Australian town that demands respect

Only 5 blocks remaining!

and protection, not closed door meetings and special deals with big business.

F O’Connell Torquay

Make the signs bigger!

Dear Editor, Regarding the Bunning’s sign proposal and the 30-metre plant screen, if it will make the town entrance look unattractive to tourists and make less of them come here, I say bigger the better!

Adam Ferrari Jan Juc

They cannot be serious Dear Editor, City of Greater Geelong thinks the roads on the Lower Bluff are “deemed to be of a satisfactory condition”?

Are the standards of COGG so low they seriously believe these roads are satisfactory? Are they really aware of their responsibilities under the Road Management Act? They ask residents with concerns regarding their local roads to phone COGG. Residents have done just that for years and to no avail.

They are simply asking for road safety improvements… lower speed limits and better maintenance. How hard is that?

With respect, Mr Martin, please don’t rely on advice provided to you and please don’t trot out this ‘standard response’ for every road safety issue on the Bellarine.

You must check these roads yourself. They are truly appalling and a very real road safety issue.

Karen Reiter St Leonards

Beach is such a mess Dear Editor, Most mornings I take a stroll down to the pier at St Leonards, as I stand at the foot of the pier, I look straight out across the beautiful bay, I shift my gaze to the stretch of picturesque beach to the left of the pier, then my eyes turn to the right and… oh, what a mess.

Excessive piles of seaweed, clumped masses of weeds growing and inundating the fast disappearing sand, a jumbled bunch of discarded bluestones arranged in no real order, an old concrete pylon, further along I see a couple of old planks of driftwood, an old length of aluminium and some small, scattered items of household rubbish.

I am aware that this issue has been raised by a member of the local progress association to council employees at least once (that I know of), and as at the time of writing no action has been taken by council.

Nobody is asking for a complete makeover of the beach and foreshore, just a couple of items of earthmoving machinery and a tip truck for a few hours would be greatly appreciated by residents and visitors of this area.

Part of the appeal of living and holidaying in St Leonards is that the beach has an almost rustic charm.

We rely on council to keep the area looking its best.

SOLAR VENTILATION

BREAKTHROUGH

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

A NEW phenomenon in environmental installation is solar ventilation systems. Belmont’s Phil Baulch has started a business, New Earth Systems, which specialises in the high quality and innovative technology.

Baulch used to work in the electrical trades industry and had a surf shop in Ocean Grove for 17 years. He fused the underlying knowledge of both to focus on a solar ventilation system called SolarVenti.

It is a solar air collector which sends free, dry and warm air into a building and is not connected to the main electricity supply.

“The technology comes from Denmark and has been sold there for 20 years where the average

hours of sun light are four and a half hours per day, and in Geelong we have an average of six, so that two kilowatts times six hours are 12kWh free energy a day,” he said.

“There are no carbon emissions from it. It has a benign effect on our environment but on the house it can remove the toxic load in the air of houses such as formaldehydes from kitchens and volatile organic compounds from flame retardants that are things we buy such as furniture and carpets.

“Those compounds have a corrosive effect on our health over time. This is a great way to heat our home while getting fresh air.”

Baulch services the Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast areas. For more information, phone Phil Baulch on 0417 554 791 or email The new SolarVenti system helps to keep your house warm for a minimal cost. philbethechange@gmail.com

RYLOCK HAS YOU COVERED WITH the federal government pushing for reductions in greenhouse gases, more and more environmentally aware homebuilders are looking not only to better insulation, but also to double glazed windows and doors.

“Almost all our clients come back to tell us the extra they spent on double glazing was the best money they ever spent,” said Rylock’s Murray Riccardi.

“Not only is our service superior, but we are the undisputed market leader in aluminium double glazed windows.

“Unfortunately, there are single pane glass products put onto the market that are purported to have high energy efficiency. However, none come close to the energy efficiency of double glazing.

“The air space between the two glasses of a double glazed panel is what reduces, if not eliminates, the conduction of the outside cold of winter, or heat of summer.

“Double glazing also prevents condensation on the glass, and this is one of the biggest disadvantages of any single glazing, which has no thermal efficiency when condensation has formed on them.

“Over the years we have supplied windows and doors for every type of house construction, from brick veneer, through all the various claddings such as corrugated zincalume or Colorbond, hardiplank and blue board, to straw bale, rammed earth and mud brick construction.

“In all cases, the design of the windows has been what the client wanted, thereby creating a home as

individual as the owner.

“In all these situations, windows are made to sizes to suit the building material or method, where ‘in stock’ or ‘standard sizes’ may not necessarily suit the building material or method.

“Our product knowledge and attention to detail is the secret of our success, and we have been double glazing western Victoria for 25 years.”

While you will pay a little more for Rylock’s superior quality and service, compared to the overall cost of a new home, it is a very small percentage.

The Rylock range of 21st century windows and doors are on show at their purpose-built office/ factory at 61-63 Morgan Street, north Geelong, or visit the website, www.rylockwindowsgeelong. com.au

FREE TESTS TO SEE HOW GREEN YOUR HOME IS

SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula residents can now access free home sustainability assessments to find out how to save energy and water around the house and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

The free assessments are funded by the Australian Government’s Green Loans Programme, which also funds interest-free green loans of up to $10,000 to make recommended improvements.

Each year the average Australian household contributes 13 tonnes of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere – enough to fill more than 700 balloons

a day.

Every household also draws an average of 73,000 buckets of water a year – that’s enough for around 12 baths a day.

The Green Loans Programme involves three easy steps: • Step 1: Book your free home sustainability assessment • Step 2: Receive your tailored home sustainability report • Step 3: Choose which of the recommended actions you will take to improve your home.

Your home sustainability assessment could identify actions as simple as

switching to energy efficient lights and replacing shower heads.

It may also recommend how you can do more, such as installing water or energy saving products like rainwater tanks or solar panels.

To take the next step and make the larger scale change, householders can apply to an approved financial institution for an interest-free green loan of up to $10,000 for up to four years.

To receive a free home sustainability assessment, or to find out more, phone Matthew on 1300 771 145 or visit www.environment.gov.au/greenloans

Enjoy strawberry season VICTORIAN strawberries are now in season and the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times are offering readers the ideal way to enjoy this healthy super fruit.

We have teamed up with the Victorian Strawberry Industry to offer six Simply Strawberries three-piece slicing sets.

The sets – valued at $17.99 each – include a vibrant red, strawberry shaped colander, plus huller and slicer with stainless steel blades.

Wash the strawberries in the colander, remove the hull with one pinch of the huller, and then make perfect slices using the strawberry-shaped slicer – it’s as easy as that! “Strawberries, like all berries, are one of nature’s super fruits, as they are high in antioxidants known as anthocyanins and ellagic acid that fight illness and slow the clock,� said accredited dietitian and food commentator Catherine Saxelby. “With vitamin C, fibre, folate (a B vitamin that helps prevent birth defects) and the mineral potassium, strawberries are full of goodness.

“Strawberries have a low GI so their carbohydrates are absorbed slowly. “They’re a healthy food that mums and nutritionists don’t have to force you to eat. “Strawberries have very few kilojoules making them an ideal dessert for anyone watching their weight. “A 125-gram punnet of strawberries supplies a tiny 100 kilojoules (24 calories).�

For your chance to win one of these great sets, simply email editor@surfcoasttimes. com.au with the words ‘Strawberry Set’ in the subject line.

Entries close Tuesday, April 6, and winners will be notified by email on Wednesday, April 7.

THE RURAL Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) has welcomed the hospital funding reform package announced by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, saying it shows some promise in ensuring better funding systems for hospitals.

It has warned, however, that any real benefits from the reforms will not be delivered in the bush until the government introduces major measures to combat the critical shortage of rural doctors and other health professionals. “While it is good to see a move towards the direct funding of hospitals by the federal government – a reform that should help remove the federal-state inefficiencies that have

Reform welcomed, but with a warning dogged hospital funding in this country for many decades – unless the rural health workforce shortage is addressed we will simply end up with ‘Yes Minister’ hospitals that are well funded but don’t have any doctors or nurses,� said RDAA president, Dr Nola Maxfield. “Without adequate numbers of doctors and other clinical staff on-theground in rural areas, rural hospital services simply cannot be delivered to the extent required – no matter what funding system is established. “In short, we need clinicians on seats – and lots of them – if we are to see the full delivery of benefits from these reforms.�

Lorne celebrates the role of women LORNE Community Hospital celebrated International Women’s Day last week by acknowledging the contributions made by the women within the organisation.

Chief executive officer, Janelle Bryce, said that while there had been much media coverage lately about how the glass ceiling is still firmly in place for women in the workplace and how there remains an absence of women in leadership positions, her organisation was a proud example of this not occurring. “The membership of Lorne Community Hospital’s board of management is a healthy 50 per cent women, whose ages also cross several demographics,� Bryce said. “Four of the five women on the board live permanently in Surf Coast Shire, the other one is a regular holiday-maker here, and they bring a broad range of invaluable skills and experiences with them. “At an executive level in the hospital, our two most senior roles are performed by women, with Sue Morrissey being our director of clinical services, and myself the chief executive officer.

We are ably supported by all the employees at the hospital.

“Diversity is a key priority for me in managing the hospital. “Of course, it’s not just about striving for a gender balance; it’s about people of different ages, values systems, ethnicities and sexual orientations being included, given opportunities and respected in the workplace so we can achieve the best outcomes.�

The five female volunteer board members are Nola Ganly (Aireys Inlet), Jo Stevens (Aireys Inlet), Jane Fiske (Melbourne), Chloe Messner (Torquay) and Anthea Doran (Anglesea). “I joined the board after many years in health and human services management positions with the state government,� Ganly said. “The health and human services workforce generally is overwhelmingly female and women constitute the highest number of users of the services for their children and themselves. “However, although it’s changing slowly, men still hold most of the senior management and director positions. It is important that women add their voices and be heard in the health domain as it plays such a critical role in their lives and their families’ lives.� “The reason I joined the board was to be involved in the community on a different level,� said Messner.

coast community environment

Show your community spirit THE SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula are renowned for having some of the best beaches in the country.

Now it is time for residents around the regions to show their community spirit by entering the annual Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Awards.

The awards cover three categories – Clean Beaches; Sustainable Cities; and Tidy Towns-Sustainable Communities.

With entries closing on March 26 for the Clean Beaches awards, local

councils, community and sporting groups, schools and individuals are all encouraged to enter.

“These awards are a great opportunity for Victorians to showcase their community spirit and the pride people have in their local environment,” said environment and climate change minister, Gavin Jennings.

The awards, now in their 28th year, recognise and celebrate the efforts of Victorians to improve, maintain and sustain their local environments. Local tourism is

another benefit, with finalists generally receiving strong coverage during the programme.

“The awards programmes instil great pride and send out a strong signal about the value the community places on the environment,” Jennings said Entering the awards is as easy as visiting the Sustainability Victoria website and filling out the application form.

Torquay SLSC top of the state TORQUAY Surf Life Saving Club stamped itself as the best in the state after finishing as top pointscorer at the recent Victorian Lifesaving Championships held at Lakes Entrance.

More than 2,000 competitors took to the sand and water in what was a historymaking carnival – being the first time the senior and junior titles had been held as a combined championship.

Capping off a memorable carnival for Surf Coast clubs, Anglesea finished third – with Pt Leo splitting the two.

One of the stars of the carnival for Torquay was teenage sensation Emily Bews, who dominated the under 17 division, winning the single ski race and board race before narrowly missing out on a third gold when she finished second in the open women’s single ski race.

Anglesea’s charge towards overall third was led by the talented Joel Simondson, who capped off a perfect season by dominating his age group in the water events by taking home gold in the under 15 surf race, ironman race, tube race and board race.

In what was an upset win in the ‘Dolphin’ open men’s ironman event, Pt Leo’s Haydn Tierney proved too strong for Hamish Hunter (Half Moon Bay SLSC) and Torquay’s Will Penney. “Lakes Entrance and the East Gippsland Shire Council went above and beyond in helping LSV create such an exciting and memorable championship,�

Life Saving Victoria’s president, Mike Martin, said. “It was always going to be a huge ask having both junior and senior

Right: Anglesea’s Aleisha Mauderer finished second in the under 11 girls’ individual board race and first in the girls’ board relay race with Zoe Perkins and Amanda Twigg.

Industry Info

Mackay joins the Hayden team

BY SARAH LAWRENCE WITH more than 30 years in real estate, Wayne Mackay is one of Torquay’s newest yet most highly experienced agents.

Since his beginnings at the Geelong Hayden’s office in 1980, Mackay has established himself as a well known and respected real estate agent in the region.

He has taken over the new role of sales manager at the Hayden Real Estate Torquay office to assist the busy sales team as well as conducting auctions.

“I’ve learned from the ground up. I started as office manager and then went into auctioneering within 12 months – back then there were not nearly as many auctions as there are now,” he said.

“We were the first to actively promote residential auctions.

“So once I got more involved in auctions after several years it led to being a sales manager and eventually a director of Hayden Real Estate in Geelong.”

Since starting in Torquay, Mackay has been happy to bump into many familiar faces down the street.

“I’ve always had a connection with Torquay. I played for many years with the Owen Yateman Band who was a

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

What happens when a property is passed in at auction?

IN RECENT weeks, auction clearance rates have been at historical highs. The year-to-date clearance rate is 86 per cent, compared to 73 per cent this time last year and in 2008.

REIV members report that attendances and competition at auction is very strong, and, as such, it is timely to offer some tips about the auction process.

Arrive in sufficient time beforehand for a final walk-through of the property and to allow yourself time to check the contract, vendor’s statement, information about auctions and the auction rules, which will all be on display.

Pay particular attention to the rules. They tell you how the auction will be conducted.

One of the rules especially important to be aware of is if the reserve is not met and the property is passed in.

If the auctioneer passes in the property below the reserve price, the owner will first negotiate with the highest bidder.

If you have participated in the bidding or have been sitting back watching, and the auctioneer announces the property is going to be passed in, it is a good strategy at this point to bid up to obtain the right to first negotiate.

Securing the right to first negotiate does not cost anything and you have created a contract between yourself and the owner.

Your contract comes into existence the moment the auctioneer concludes the auction by passing in the property.

Once the property’s passed in, it is too late to shout out a bid.

Wayne Mackay is Hayden Real Estate Torquay’s newest member, bringing a wealth of experience to the office.

well known local identity in fishing, surfing and music,” Mackay said.

“From that I’ve gotten to know a lot of people in the community. I have also seen a lot of familiar faces in Torquay that have come from Geelong to live here.”

During his career Mackay has conducted thousands of auctions, and he admits to still enjoying the experience.

“To do auctions you need to enjoy them as well as promote the property and yourself on behalf of the community,” he said.

“To auction you have to feel comfortable and confident to get the best results plus have a good rapport between vendors and buyers.

“An auction also must be organised well in advance so that information is available to prospective buyers to enable them to confidently assess the property and prepare them for bidding.”

Mackay is also looking forward to working in a market with a coastal vibe.

“To date, I’ve seen Geelong as a very aggressive and competitive market,” he said.

“While the Torquay market is still very competitive, it certainly seems to have a more relaxed nature about it.”

When not at work Mackay plays in two Geelong bands as well as spending time with his wife, Leigh, and his two grandchildren.

Home Owners and Investors

Dear Home Owner/Investor, Property values on the Surf Coast and particularly Torquay and Jan Juc have risen dramatically in recent times. Residents we have spoken to are most interested to know the current value of their properties as this allows them to pursue other financial initiatives or to ensure that their homes are adequately insured.

To assist our local residents we are conducting an exciting new initiative. Over the next three (3) months we will be offering our opinion on the value of every home in the area.

Each appraisal will only take approximately 10-15 minutes, as we hope to complete one street per day.

What you will receive

How do you participate?  ��� �  ­ €‚  � € 0437 882 088 or 5261 2101 – patrickh@hayden.com.au Strict confidentiality will be adhered to for each property.

We look forward to your participation and to meeting with you.

WRECK OF THE INVERLOCHY: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 While they were contemplating their drying clothes before a huge fire, a shout that the lifeboat had come into view brought them all rushing out excitedly, then on sighting their companions they burst into wild cheering and the quiet spot re-echoed to sounds never there heard before or since. It was then observed that they were headed straight for the bluff (Point Flinders), and that unless they immediately changed their course, they would even yet be doomed when on the point of rescue. To induce them to do this, Mr Fred Hodges pointed to the breakers and fired four shots into the air, this signal not being understood, he waved a towel, but in vain. So Mr Dick Robertson (Geelong Solicitor) kicked off his shoes flung off his coat, and waded out, then swam 50 yards to the boat, which he clambered aboard. With the course changed, the ‘Inverlochy’ survivors were guided by the boat piloted by Brown and Lucknow, fishermen, around the Bluff to the mouth of the Barwon River, and they came ashore at the pier.

Design magazines and television programs have expanded people’s awareness of what is available. Clients are discerning and savvy, they value individuality in their home and are looking for the WOW factor.

Some tips to consider when designing your bathroom are;

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

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

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

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

Offering the service, expertise and commitment of a local builder, combined with the backing of a major national construction company, Cavalier Homes West Coast is the smart choice for new home builders.

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

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

To view the new design range visit the two Cavalier Homes display home at 27-29 Longshore Street, The Quay Estate, Torquay.

Take a trip around the world

BY NATHAN HALE IF AN eclectic mix of performers and music is your idea of an ideal gig, then next week’s Apollo Bay Music Festival has the band for you.

Tijuana Cartel is a blend of musicians whose influences range from funk to hip hop to reggae to the Middle Eastern flavours of the sub-continent to the dance venues of London.

It’s akin to a round-the-world trip in one gig – and you can take it all in at the festival – which runs from Friday, March 26 to Sunday, March 28.

With such variances in musical tastes, Tijuana Cartel is sure to provide entertainment for all.

It all started when Paul George and Carey O’Sullivan teamed up in school to start belting out sounds. Along the way they have continued to ‘accumulate’ band members – with the tally now standing at five.

“Carey and I have been going since the age of about 12, but along the way we have accumulated people,” George said.

“One night we were playing at a gig and a girl was there with her trumpet.

“After a while her friend said she was really good and so we thought: ‘Let’s get her on stage for one song’.

“As it turned out she stayed on for the rest of the set and she is still with us now.”

Despite spending the majority of their time gigging all around Australia of late, the band has managed to retain its enthusiasm for live performances.

Although they have never played the Apollo Bay Music Festival, George said it has always been a place they have had on their ‘to-do list’.

They are also looking forward to exploring other bands and enjoying the laidback atmosphere Apollo Bay brings.

“There are pros and cons of playing festivals and of doing gigs by yourself, but we are really looking forward to it,” George said “We never really get the chance to check out that many acts as we are always playing ourselves.

“And I have just checked out the line-up for the festival and it looks really cool… so I am looking forward to seeing the bands and seeing what is on offer.”

Although they have always enjoyed making music, the band had been content to concentrate more on the music side rather than the performance side.

This, however, has changed in recent months as they grow more and more comfortable on stage and confidence in their performances continues to grow.

“We made the decision to make more of our performances,” George said.

“We have been more musicians than performers, but we have learned a lot about how to perform on stage and how to react to crowds.

“Now I think we are at the stage where we are more confident in our ability and our performances are where people want to come and party and get up and dance.”

GRAPEVINE } Jon Helmer Do you ah... Gris?

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

GROWLERS

CORKS CREW CELLARS

I HAVE really been getting into Pinot Gris of late.

What, with its inherent richness, texture and opulent aromas it can make for heady drinking indeed.

All three wines featured below are excellent examples that deserve a look in‌ if you’re tiring of summer and acidic Sauvignon Blanc, maybe it’s time to play with a new variety‌ don’t you agree?

Waihopai Marlborough Pinot Gris 2009 ($15) OOhh, I like this! Discovered this at the recent New Zealand Wine Show and was gob smacked at the quality v price ratio‌ this really over-delivers with beautiful balance, texture, aroma and purity of fruit care off winemaker extraordinaire Ant Moore. Marlborough Pinot Gris continues to gather momentum in the shade of the ‘sav-alanche’. I suggest you get on board!

Coobara Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2009 ($20) Once again, those attributes of fresh, vibrant pear and lychee aromas, beautiful balance and rich textural fruit rear their heads. Weight is so important and I think that this really shows what Pinot Gris from Adelaide Hills is all about – incredible complexity, beautiful palate weight, and a long, fine finish. For the price, an absolute steal!

Tim Adams Clare Valley Pinot Gris 2009 ($20) The old veteran shows he knows a thing or two about winemaking with this release. A core of vibrant, minerally fruit provides backbone and structure with precision balance and lychee flavours to the fore. I like it and the incredible 2009 vintage lends an added zest to the whole makeup. If you’ve tried Tim Adams in the past, you’ll know just how good this wine is‌ why not do yourself a favour, I say.

Music legend to visit the Bellarine ONE OF the most influential performers from the United States will take to the stage at the Bellarine’s Harvester Moon on Friday night.

New York City’s Josh White Jr – the son of legendary musician Josh White – and a household name in his own right, is making a special one-off appearance.

A master of folk, blues and jazz, White Jr is in the country en-route to the Apollo Bay and Byron Bay Music Festivals.

This year White Jr is celebrating his 65th anniversary in show business, beginning as a child star performing and recording with his legendary father, who was an original Carolina Piedmont blues player who pioneered the blues and spirituals to New York’s folk, nightclub, Broadway and concert stages in the 1930s and ’40s.

White Jr carries forward the immense musical and social activist legacy of his father and can take you back to the times when House of the Rising Sun, Strange Fruit, One Meatball and The House I Live In became popular songs to the masses.

He has also shared the stage with such luminaries as Leadbelly, Joe Louis, Woody Guthrie, Billie Holiday, Pete Seeger and Burl Ives.

Harvester Moon has put together a special package for the evening, which includes a threecourse meal and the show for $52, with dinner starting at 7pm.

Harvester Moon is situated at 2320 Portarlington Road, Bellarine (near Bellarine Estate).

FIG JAM… it’s a lot more than just an acronym I HAVE some wicked friends who make me chuckle over the acronym of fig jam… but I won’t go into that right now.

What I do want to do is entice you to get your hands on some figs – and quick!

They are available now and in many ways they are one of the truly seasonal foods that we should savour for the short time they are around.

From late summer into early autumn these plump, versatile and voluptuous fruits will reward you in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Strictly speaking the fig (botanically) is not a single fruit, but hundreds of little fruits that most people regard as seeds.

They originated in Asia Minor, and were grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Baskets of them have been found in Egyptian tombs and it is said that the asp, which killed Cleopatra, was brought in concealed in a bucket of figs.

The fig has been laden with symbolism for many centuries; we associate the leaves of the tree with prudery since Eve judiciously used

the leaves to veil Adam’s and her own genitalia.

The fig is often also associated with fertility, and the tree is said to have provided shelter for Romulus and Remus as they were suckled by the she-wolf and ancient Rome honoured it with annual sacrifices.

In Africa, the white latex exuded by the tree was used in ointments to guard against sterility and to encourage lactation. The word fig came to be used by Shakespeare as a metaphor to triviality (in Othello, Iago exclaims “Virtue!

A fig!”) and, to this day we often hear someone say “I couldn’t give a fig!”.

Meanwhile, the tree under which Buddha was said to have mediated his way to perfect knowledge is considered sacred, symbolising understanding and knowledge.

Fresh figs are truly one of the great pleasures of autumn, and are so versatile.

Choose ones that are just beginning to show a small split in their skin…a sign indicating their ripeness. They are best kept away from the refrigerator and hence purchased close to the time you are going to devour them.

Favourite fig recipes One of my favourite flavour combinations is to make bite-sized morsels of fresh fig, wiped with a smear of homemade pesto, wrapped in tissuethin slices of prosciutto.

These make a wonderful addition to an antipasta platter, or with pre-dinner drinks. Simply wash the fruit, do not peel, and cut into sixths or eighths depending on the size of the fig – and the mouth you are going to pop it in to.

Instead of pesto, use a tiny amount of a creamy blue cheese, or bocconcini – both flavours work well with the sweetness of the fig and saltiness of the air-cured ham.

Add some ginger Figs love ginger, so if you are making fig jam, you could enliven the taste by using a little grated fresh ginger, or some glace (preserved) ginger.

Using equal quantities of figs and sugar to make the jam, you could even add some roasted almonds that have been roughly chopped, for extra crunch.

Figs definitely come into their own as the perfect way to finish a dinner party meal. Cut figs in half, sprinkle with caster sugar and grill under high heat – being careful not to burn them, then serve with vanilla ice-cream.

Dried figs Dried figs soaked in port and cooked separately were used by the Romans as an accompaniment to game and pork dishes. Hence, fresh figs marinated in port and cooked slowly to a reduction are a great accompaniment for duck breasts, which have been marinated in red wine, a bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, some garlic and the zest of an orange.

Poached figs Alternatively, poach figs in dessert wine or a lively sauterne, allowing the fruit to cool in the liquid, then serve at room temperature with finely shredded mint and a crumbly topping of crushed toasted almonds and pistachio nuts.

Another way to finish a superb dinner would be to so simply feed your dining partner sensually with just a fig – fresh, ripe and luscious.

Artists on display

BY SARAH LAWRENCE THE FLAIR and creativity of Bellarine locals will be showcased this weekend at the Barwon Heads Art Show.

Now in its eighth year, the show will be held on Friday and Saturday at Barwon Heads Senior Citizens’ Hall, with more than 150 paintings on exhibit.

Local artists featured will include Carolyn Coope, Faye McCartney, Lidi Korndorsser,

Fay Greaves, and Betty White.

According to organiser, Dorothy Van Dorp, the show is arranged with pride and care for the paintings. Only paintings of a professional standard are presented. “Both at the hall and on the foreshore we present the art show with a professional hanging the paintings,� Van Dorp said. “It is not just placing each painting on a hook, each painting

has to complement the painting which is hanging next to it. All this takes time and patience‌ it is all worth it in the end.�

On Sunday, the show moves to the foreshore in conjunction with the Festival of the Sea. “The art show on the foreshore looks great as it is under marquees and the public just walks around and quite often they see something they like from a distance and walk over to have a closer look and

Top acts head to Barwon Heads

Tuesday 16 March 2010

SOME of Australia’s top music artists are heading to Barwon Heads for this weekend’s Festival of the Sea. The festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will offer visitors an eclectic mix of jazz, soul, hip hop, rock, folk and world music.

Highlights include Falls Festival favourite, The Go-Set, evocative rock pioneer Nick Barker and local ARIA award winner Mick Thomas.

Visitors can also expect a number of internationally acclaimed artists, including Sabrina and the Red Vans, Rory Ellis and Rob Sawyer,

as well as some of Australia’s finest vocalists, including The The Stutterers, Sally and Wally and Bamboozle.

Festival president, David Littleton, said the festival would maintain its strong focus on arts and the environment, however, the music line up would also be a major drawcard. Organisers are promising a bumper event to celebrate the 10-year milestone.

On Saturday, a Sk8 Jam will be held at the Village Park, featuring a skating competition and live music. A 10th birthday picnic

featuring easy listening jazz will light up the foreshore on the Saturday evening.

Then on the Sunday, live bands will perform at the Village Park near the foreshore in Barwon Heads, and there will also be kids’ activities, food, wine, market stalls and displays.

A festival highlight will be the annual duck race, which will see a thousand ducks dropped from the Barwon Heads Bridge. The Festival of the Sea is free to attend.

For more information visit www.barwonheads.net

Visit the dinosaur petting zoo CENTRAL Geelong is giving children – and adults – the opportunity to get up close and personal with dinosaurs these Easter school holidays.

On Tuesday, March 30 and Wednesday, March 31, visitors to Johnstone Park will have the opportunity to see, touch, hear and learn more about these prehistoric creatures.

You can find out where they lived, what they ate and how they roamed the earth – all for free. The hands-on experience for parents and

Notice Concerning Assessment of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs for the National Heritage List Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Heritage List was established in 2004 under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) to recognise and protect places of outstanding heritage value to the nation.

The Australian Heritage Council is currently assessing whether the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs meets any of the National Heritage criteria. The Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs is located on the west coast of Victoria. The Council has conducted its preliminary consideration and has determined that it might have one or more National Heritage values. These relate to its historic value, its construction as a memorial road and scenic coastal drive and its geomorphological values. The Council has also found it may have aesthetic and social values and association with a number of significant people.

The Council recognises the importance of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs to the communities in the region. It invites members of the community to visit the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for information about the assessment of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs and the National Heritage List. The proposed boundary for the listing takes in primarily Crown land adjacent to the Great Ocean Road. Owners and occupiers of land included in the proposed boundary will be notified by letter, in accordance with section 324JH of the EPBC Act.

MAR 16 -MAR 22 2010 The focus is still on communication this week, as you brush up on your social small-talk and diplomacy skills. You’re likely to slip into worry-wart mode on Friday, as Saturn increases your stress levels – and your tendency to criticize others. If you can’t say something positive, then don’t say anything at all!

Rams can be selfish souls but this week’s New Moon stimulates your helpful side and encourages you to do good deeds and assist others (in unconventional ways). You’re also in the mood to have fun with children as your inner child comes out to play. Pay close attention to your dreams – are they trying to tell you something?

You love your home, and all the cosy comforts it provides. But it’s time to crawl out of your Crab cave and explore the big wide world outside your door. No side-stepping – be a confident Cancer and face challenges head-on! Your quote for the week is from birthday great David Livingstone “I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.”

Harmony-loving Librans feel at home during the equinoxes – in March and September – when day are night are of equal length. So this weekend you’ll be busy finding ways to attain a better life/work balance. Getting the ratio right between what you want and what others need is also a constant juggling act but, if anyone can do it, it’s you!

Are you stuck in a rut? The New Moon urges you to dream up some exciting scenarios for the coming year. Don’t play it too safe – set goals and challenges that stretch you in dynamic new directions. You have much to offer in a group situation, as your Taurean tenacity and practical approach inspire others to get to work.

For lusty Lions, a revamp is due in the areas of sex or money. Perhaps a passionate new relationship – or a revitalised old one? Financial partnerships are favoured, as long as you are forward-thinking and flexible. The union of the Sun and Uranus means you’ll stand out in the crowd even more than usual so make the most of it and shine!

Scorpio is a sign of extremes and you have an all-or-nothing approach to life. This weekend is the Equinox (autumn in the southern hemisphere, and spring in the northern hemisphere) when day and night are of equal length. So it’s the perfect time to strive to bring more moderation, harmony and balance into your hectic life.

The Sun and Uranus (your ruling planet) join forces in your money zone, which sees you at your innovative, interesting best – and impulsive worst. By all means take exciting risks but make sure they are calculated ones. Your quote for the week comes from birthday great Charlotte Bronte “Look twice before you leap.”

With the New Moon, Jupiter and Uranus stirring up your career zone, it’s the best time in the last 12 years to plan professional projects, apply for a new job, take on a second job – or completely change vocation. Your motto for the week? “Make the most of your versatility, keep your options open, and multi-task like a pro!”

The universe is zeroing in on one-to-one relationships. Whether they are romantic, platonic or business partnerships, it’s time to reboot old patterns of relating and communicate in creative ways. Single Virgos – someone unusual is about to rock your world! On Friday and Saturday, friends and finances are a messy mix.

You’re in a happy, mellow mood this week as you tackle domestic duties or work responsibilities with a spring in your step, and a sunny Sagittarian smile. It’s time to ring in some changes on the home front!

Over the coming year you’ll take off your blinkers and start to see a family member in a brand new light.

This week’s annual New Moon in Pisces is the best time of the year to break old habits and set inspiring goals for the future. It’s a magical time of release and renewal, as you learn from your mistakes, wipe the slate clean, and start all over again. “No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.” (Buddha)

WITH ANGLESEA BOWLS CLUB

THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club men ended their pennant season with two of their three teams finishing in the four.

The qualifying semi-finals were played on Saturday and Sunday, March 6 and 7, under very wet conditions. Unfortunately both Anglesea teams were beaten on the day.

The Anglesea ladies from Division 4 will play their grand final today (March 16). Good luck girls. You can do it.

The ladies were victors of the annual Anglesea v Torquay Shield held last month, winning by 18 shots.

On Monday, March 8, the club’s Presidents’ Day was held, where members get to express their gratitude to the various presidents – Jim Reed, Gerard Petrie and Marcia Kemp.

More than 60 bowlers participated in two games in perfect sunny conditions – the advantage of having synthetic greens.

The winners of the day were: M Wapling, N Clarke, R Berrill and the runners up were C Keet, A McPherson and K Bird.

Congratulations to the winners of this season’s club’s ladies triple event: D Newton, J Wilson, C Koster.

The next Chicken Run/Members’ Draw/ BBQ will be held on Friday, March 19. For catering purposes, please indicate your intention to attend the barbecue early in the week.

Also, the latest time to put your name down to bowl is 1.30pm Friday for a 3pm start.

Easter is fast approaching, and so too is our sponsored Mixed Four Player Medley, scheduled for a 10am start on Easter Saturday (April 3). Four games will be played consisting of three-bowl Men’s Pairs, three-bowl Ladies’ Pairs, Mixed Fours and three-bowl Mixed Pairs. $28 per team (two ladies and two gents). BYO Lunch.

Entry forms to be sent to Lew Wilson, Anglesea Bowling Club, PO Box 52, Anglesea 3230.

Pre Season Hit Out at Spring Creek!

Put your tips to the test LOCAL tipsters who think they know a thing or two about the AFL can now put their tips to the test.

Torquay First National’s Hank Moerenhout has launched the 2010 AFL tipping competition, which is free to enter and open to anyone throughout the region.

Moerenhout said the idea behind the competition – which boasts a $2,000 first prize – was to bring the local community together to share an interest in the season ahead.

The only conditions of the entry are that each week’s tips have to be submitted in person at the Torquay First National

Soccer set to kick off IT IS a World Cup year and Surf Coast Football Club’s soccer season is now under way with club registrations this week and a big season-opening function next week.

“This is the first year we are running it and the aim of having people come into the office to submit tips is that it keeps it local,” he said.

Word from the women Presidents/captains day was played as a stableford event this week, with the

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB What a difference a week can make. Last week we reported the course was under water on the previous Friday night.

In div 3 the winner was Michael Ryan with 38 pts on c/b from Lawrence. NTP’s went to Philip Smith, Barry Leith and Donald Holmes. Jackpot was won by John Brunt.

Saturday results The storm clouds and lightning that caused last Saturday’s monthly medal

event to be abandoned were replaced by clear sunny windless conditions. That meant ideal conditions for good scores which were produced.

For the Saturday ladies, Lyn Brady won with a net 74 from Eleanor Douglas net 76. Lyn Brady also took out the NTP on the 13th.

From the ladies room While everyone at home battled rain, hail and lightening I was playing in warm and sunny Port Fairy, amazed that, apart from a bit of drizzle, we missed out on all the celestial activity.

The course down there is an absolute gem and I played with one of the locals and it was medal day. He was off 11 and parred the course on the first nine had a bit of trouble on the back but still finished with a very nice 76.

The second round of the Loader Trophy was held last week and again excellent results were posted. Andrew Groom and Julie Rogers topped the list with 47 points; you can check the progress chart up on the board.

Captains and Presidents Captains and Presidents Day was held at the club on Sunday, March 14 honouring all the past and present captains and presidents of the club for the fabulous work they have put in over the years. In perfect weather conditions 40 players teed it up in what was a great fun day that was concluded with an evening dinner and presentations.

Good luck to both teams.

This event inaugurated to foster a spirit of harmony between the two clubs is always a great day and we had high hopes of a win on home soil but sadly this was not to be as Rhelma Bartlett led her team to another victory. Congratulations to the girls in green.

Division’s winners this week were Rosie Jones, Kathy Simpson, Gayle Hilton and Barb Stutchbury. NTP’s went to Sandra Duff, Carole Mayne and Libby Fuller. Micha and Gwen Hand won the jackpots.

restrictions exist.

Whiting are limited to 20 per person, including King George, but remember King George have a minimum size of 27-centimetre.

Snapper are limited to a 10-bag limit with only three to be equal to or exceeding the 40cm length.

The rivers are also producing some very nice bream, with catches exceeding 30cm in size becoming a much more frequent event.

Good-sizes salmon catches are also continuing from the beaches, while Lorne pier is also said to be producing squid in numbers.

The most popular baits at the moment seem to be baby bottle squid, blue and white bait as well as pilchards.

Reports of elephant fish being taken on baby bottle squid have occurred on more than one occasion.

To ensure you are fully aware of all the regulations as to bag limits and size limits, make sure you get a copy of the 2010 fishing guide, which is available at all good tackle stores

THE PAST week has been interesting to say the least, with heavy rains and flooding of our water systems churning up the areas and providing plenty of feed for the fish.

The result of this is that the fish are certainly on the bite.

Over the weekend we received numerous reports of catches from the rivers and surf – from Queenscliff through to Apollo Bay the reports just kept coming in.

Rock fishing is very productive with pinkies, whiting and salmon just a taster of some of the fish that have been caught.

Those out in boats are also reporting good catches, with garfish, whiting, shark, snapper and couta all being taken.

The good news is that elephant fish are now beginning to make an appearance.

The important thing to remember that if you are after elephant fish, the catch limit is now only one per person, so keep that in mind if you are lucky enough to get on to them; no size
