$5M GROVE Multi-million dollar expansion of Ocean Grove’s bowling club set to provide massive benefits

BY ALISON MARTIN THE $5million Club Grove redevelopment is set to provide Ocean Grove and the Bellarine with the leading destination hospitality venue in Victoria.

Construction starts next week and the entire project will be completed in time for the start of the busy summer holiday period on the Bellarine.

Club Grove general manager, Michael Lewis, said while Club Grove’s primary focus would continue to be a bowling club with improved amenities for members, it would also become an icon of the entire Ocean Grove community.

Surf Forecast

The major refurbishment will employ more than 100 tradespeople and will incorporate a new 150-seat restaurant, wine bar and café, children’s playroom, fireplaces, two function rooms, 60-seat members’ lounge and new gaming facilities.

Lewis said the new building would extend 33 metres into the existing car park and provide facilities that had previously not been offered on the Bellarine.

“We are spending $1.5million on the internal fit-out alone, which is contemporary and suited to our environment, so that gives an indication of the quality of the design,” Lewis said.

“The existing clubhouse will be demolished in stages so we can continue operating throughout construction.”

Immediate changes while building works are in progress will include the relocation of the customer entrance to Lelean Street, extended operating hours of the club’s courtesy bus and dining specials.

“We are creating a venue that will cater for a variety of uses, including weddings for up to 120 guests, conferences and a centre for service and community clubs,” Lewis said.

“There will be new menus, a new wine list and

new branding to market Club Grove as the place to come for good food and good entertainment.

“Staffing will double, new positions will be created and there will be exciting opportunities for the club and the Bellarine.”

Lewis said the redevelopment had been planned over many years and when construction was completed, the club would set a benchmark for the region.

“We aim to be a premier venue for the state,” he said.

Covering the Surf Coast & Bellarine Peninsula

Tuesday 18 May 2010

coast community environment

$600,000 for Bellarine traffic TRAFFIC lights will be installed at the busy intersection of Bellarine Highway and Christies Road in Leopold, with funding announced on Friday.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said the state government was committed to improving safety and traffic flow in the Bellarine electorate and were taking action following community concerns about the intersection.

“I am delighted to announce new $600,000 traffic signals for the Bellarine Highway and Christies Road intersection in Leopold that will improve safety and traffic flow at one of Bellarine Highway’s busiest intersections,” Neville said at the announcement.

“I understand that Bellarine residents were concerned about the safety of their loved ones on our roads that is why I urged the Minister for Roads and Ports, Tim Pallas, to install traffic signals at this intersection. I am very pleased to see they will now be built.

“This intersection is particularly busy during peak hour and the traffic signals will make negotiating this busy intersection easier and safer for all road users.”

Neville said the safety upgrade, including the installation of traffic signals on the Bellarine Highway, was expected to start later this year.

“These new traffic signals will make it easier and safer for people to enter and leave Christies Road while making sure traffic continues to flow smoothly along the Highway,” she said.

“The Bellarine Highway provides an important link between Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, including Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove and Leopold, carrying more than 20,000 vehicles each day.

“In the five years to December 2009 there have been six crashes at the intersection resulting in injury, and this upgrade will make it safer.

“In addition to the traffic signals, street lighting will be installed to help improve visibility of the

intersection at night. It will also improve the safety and access for pedestrians and cyclists.”

Neville said that VicRoads had consulted with the City of Greater Geelong about the upgrades and considered feedback from people in the local community.

From paddock to plate

BY ALISON MARTIN PORT Produce is offering local farmers and food producers a unique opportunity to sell their produce in a local marketplace, with great community support and no fees.

There are currently places at the market for local producers of fresh fruit and vegetables, including specialist organic and hydroponic growers, who want to benefit from regular sales direct to the customer.

The fresh food market is held at Portarlington Primary School every Friday and is an initiative of Bellarine Community Health, with the support of the Portarlington Primary School, CJ Keane Real Estate and Portarlington’s Community Bank.

BCH community development worker, Sarah Wynne, said stall holders helped to support sustainable agricultural practices on the Bellarine Peninsula, while also promoting fresh produce consumption in the region.

She said producers were offered the advantage of selling their produce locally with no stallholder fees, while providing a valuable service to the community. “We are promoting the market as the ‘World’s Biggest Small Market’ and aiming to support ‘paddock to plate’ or ‘farmer to fork’ local produce on the Bellarine Peninsula,� Wynne said. “We’re proud to have this title, however, we would like to continue to support the traders at the market, the Portarlington community and the primary school by ensuring the sustainability of

Port Produce.�

She said Port Produce was Victoria’s only weekly, mid-week market and operated at the primary school from 8.30am to 11.30am every Friday. “However, traders can attend on a basis that is practical when it comes to their seasonal produce,� she said. “The only requirement we have is that stallholders have a food-handlers certificate to sell produce at Port Produce. “We are also seeking volunteers who hold a food-handlers certificate who may be available on a Friday morning to assist with selling produce.�

Interested stall holders or volunteers can contact Bellarine Community Health for more information on 5258 0814.

AN ARTIST’S IMPRESSION: Club Grove’s $5million redevelopment is set to start next week and will be completed by the end of November, creating a community icon for Ocean Grove and Victoria’s leading ‘destination’ hospitality venue.

Clubs support sports plan OCEAN Grove sporting groups have thrown their support behind the City of Greater Geelong’s sports infrastructure plan, which will go to council for final consideration next month.

The major focus of the plan has been to facilitate the relocation of three sports clubs currently based at Ocean Grove Memorial Reserve to join the Surfside Waves Soccer Club at Shell Road Reserve which will be developed as the major sports precinct in Ocean Grove.

CoGG councillor, Jan Farrell, said the local clubs and the wider community had been heavily involved in developing the plan, which will go before council on Tuesday, June 8. “We have had fantastic support from the local sports clubs. They’ve been instrumental in helping us develop this comprehensive plan, which I’m confident meets the needs of the local community,� she said. “It’s been a true partnership project and I’m delighted with the significant progress we’ve made in realising the Ocean Grove community’s long held vision for Shell Road Reserve.�

Masterplans for Shell Road Reserve, Ocean Grove Memorial Recreation Reserve and Collendina Reserve have been developed to guide the future sustainable development of the existing reserves to accommodate the sporting needs of the local community.

The masterplans will provide direction on improving the functionality of the reserves, including sport and playground infrastructure, car parking and traffic management, site access and circulation and will address safety issues.

The football club, netball club, cricket club and Surfside Waves all support the plan.

WITH MORE than 8,500 visitors in the first six months, BIG4 Bellarine Holiday Park is set to increase its capacity sooner than planned.

Park owners, Tim and Sophie Bone, said the $7million dollar investment was already starting to pay off and further refurbishments and expansions were already under way.

The Bellarine BIG4 is on track to turn over in excess of $1million by the end of June – 15 per cent above initial estimates. “Due to the park’s popularity, we are expanding accordingly,� Tim said. “Originally, we were going to build three new units in the second year of operation, but have now decided to construct another eight as well as another 22 powered sites due to the opening success. “The park will also boast a tennis court before the end of the year. “Because of the space we have at BIG4 Bellarine, the property lends itself to a calm atmosphere with many activities and facilities available. We are operating at around 70 per cent capacity even outside school holidays.

“I love being at the park when families are on holidays as it brings a fantastic atmosphere to the park.�

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, visited the holiday park last week and described it as a “fantastic drawcard for tourists and a welcome addition to the thriving Bellarine tourism industry�. “As well as attracting tourists to the Peninsula, BIG4 Bellarine currently employs 13 local staff, adding to the economic benefit for the area,� she said. “Tourism is an important industry on the Bellarine and infrastructure like BIG4 plays a vital role in attracting both new and return visitors to the region.�

BIG4 Bellarine’s extensive facilities include a 1.2-kilometre purpose built walking/bike track, an indoor heated pool complex, water playground and water slide, a fantastic children’s playground, full size football goal posts, two giant jumping pillows, croquet lawn, bocce court, indoor children’s playroom, cinema room, kids club and a range of local activities close by.

Tim and Sophie Bone also co-own with Tim’s parents, Peter and Kathie, the BIG4 Anglesea Holiday Park, which was the first Holiday Park in Australia to attain the environmental benchmark of Green Globe 21.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, visitied Bellarine BIG4 Holiday Park at Marcus Hill last week and has praised Tim and Sophie Bone’s achievements and success.

Equathon to showcase the Bellarine

BY ALISON MARTIN MODERN pentathletes will test their swimming, running and riding skills this month when they compete in the second annual Bellarine Equathon.

The success of last year’s inaugural equathon on the peninsula encouraged Modern Pentathlon Victoria to schedule the event again this year on Sunday, May 30, with the same venues to host the three events.

Bellarine Equathon spokesperson, Beverley Rodan, said the 2009 equathon had been well

received by the local community and the facilities were ideal for the events.

The three-event competition includes a swim at Ocean Grove’s Aquatic Centre, followed by showjumping and a cross-country run at Lake Lorne Reserve in Drysdale.

Rodan, who is mother of international pentathlon competitor, Angela Darby, said after the response to last year’s equathon she expected even more entrants this year.

She said Darby had presented winners’ medals last year but would be competing at the Berlin

World Cup in June and was unable to attend this month’s Bellarine event. “We are fortunate to have president of Pentathlon Victoria, Kitty Chiller, who will be competing in the 2012 London Olympic Games, presenting medals this year.

Chiller is Australia’s most successful female pentathlete and the equathon is an important event to promote the Bellarine and its attraction to the growing equine industry.

Portarlington ferry forum AS THE wait continues for the outcome of the Bellarine Ferry feasibility study, peninsula residents will have an opportunity to voice their opinions at a political forum in Portarlington.

A City of Greater Geelong spokesperson said Parks Victoria had conducted market research to determine the level of commuter interest for a ferry service from Portarlington to central Melbourne.

“The report documenting these findings is currently being finalised and will be released for future community input in due course,” the spokesperson said.

However, with no word on the ferry study in recent months, Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, will host a public forum in Portarlington to discuss and debate the issues and opportunities relating to the Bellarine Ferry.

“The Bellarine Ferry will affect all of the Bellarine and is not just a policy for residents of Portarlington to consider,” he said.

“If it progresses it will be an economic, tourism and transport policy of scale and scope previously unseen in the Bellarine.

“After meeting with people all over the Bellarine this initiative generates significant debate and questions and so it is important that it is considered fully.

“I will also be joined by members of the Bellarine Ferry Group who will be on hand to provide technical information and provide accurate plans about the ferry project.”

The Bellarine Ferry Public Forum will be held on Wednesday June 2, at 7pm at Parks Hall, Portarlington.

A polished performance MUSICIAN and choral director, Faye Dumont, will present a special one-day workshop with the Bellarine Community Choir in Drysdale this month.

Choir spokesperson, Mani Collis, said Dumont’s focus would be on ‘polishing’ the choir’s repertoire for the Celtic Festival at Portarlington next month.

She said Dumont was well known in musical circles in Australia and overseas as an authority on voice and choral conducting. “She is director and conductor of several choirs in Melbourne and was the founding president of the Australian National Choral Association,� Collis said. “Dumont’s visit is an indication of the enthusiasm and popularity of choral singing on the Bellarine Peninsula.�

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 26, before the Celtic Festival on the long weekend in June.

DCSCA UPDATE DRYSDALE and Clifton Springs Community Association attended the May public hearings of the state planning panel appointed to review City of Greater Geelong proposals to rezone parts of Drysdale and Clifton Springs for highdensity housing.

Our presentation developed our original concerns about how the proposals were prepared and exhibited.

On April 20, DCSCA ran a workshop about planning panels for anyone thinking of appearing before the panel.

DCSCA members and friends in the Springs Street area of Clifton Springs are drafting a

‘community plan’ for the area’s last piece of public space, having convinced CoGG to abandon its plans to rezone it as a housing estate.

DCSCA is assisting the group to survey local residents’ views on possible futures for the space.

DCSCA will appear before a CoGG submissions panel established to consider CoGG’s proposal to levy landowners in the Central Road area of Clifton Springs a special charge to pay for a drain to service a retirement village. Most local landowners face bills upwards of $3,000.

Work continues on DCSCA’s Festival of

Glass, to be held in late February 2011. The festival will combine art, craft and industry; and local glass artists and manufacturers are contacting the festival committee to ask how they can participate.

DCSCA’s next meeting is on Wednesday, June 2 at 7pm at SpringDale and the topic is Leisure and Recreation in Our Community.

For more on these issues, please visit DCSCA’s blog: http://drycliftdays.blogspot. com or email dryclift@bigpond.com Patrick Hughes, DCSCA secretary

Today is open day at Clifton Springs Primary School and local families are encouraged to visit the school to see the state-ofthe-art facilities and meet the friendly, experienced staff. There will be an opportunity to meet Prep teachers and find out more about enrolments for 2011.

Tours of the school can also be arranged at any time by contacting principal, Brent Richards, for any 2011 Prep students. Elijah, Georgia and Prep teacher Andrea Carlton will be proud to show their school to new families.

Drysdale & Clifton Springs in Focus

Community plan for open space AFTER claiming ‘victory’ over council’s decision to abandon a housing proposal on vacant land in Springs Street, a Clifton Springs community group has announced a plan of its own.

City of Greater Geelong had proposed a rezoning of the land to allow for residential development but was opposed by a petition with 160 local signatures.

The local residents have united under the banner ‘Save Our Springs Street Open Space’ or SOSOS, to influence future use of the land, which remains the only undeveloped sites in the street.

The group is co-ordinating a survey of local

people’s views about the space and intends to prepare a community plan for the open space to the west of the street.

Survey results will form the basis of the community plan for the area and when it is completed, SOSOS will submit ideas to the City of Greater Geelong.

SOSOS member, Roy Verron, said the area should remain open space, with bay views and opportunities for passive recreation, but linked to any developments in the Dell and the foreshore, and given a formal name such as ‘Springs Street

Reserve’. “This is the last significant open space in the area and we want to ensure that it isn’t swallowed up in the general development of Drysdale and Clifton Springs,� he said. “We’d like to see its historical significance recognised by a display and, perhaps, a replica of the original spa bath house.�

Fellow SOSOS member, Neil McGuinness, said the group wanted to incorporate the views of local residents in their plans and would be distributing a questionnaire to houses in the area.

Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association secretary, Patrick Hughes, said the association applauded SOSOS’s initiative in writing a community plan for their area and offered its full support. “Local people should have a significant voice in the development of their area and this will be the first plan in Drysdale and Clifton Springs to be written by and for local people,� he said.

Residents can email SOSOS at mcgnj@bigpond. com or write to the group through the community association at PO Box 581, Drysdale 3222.

Potato harvest at home THE SECRETS of growing the perfect potatoes at home will be shared at next month’s Drysdale’s Harvest Basket produce swap.

The community’s innovative gathering of fresh produce will be held on Saturday, June 5 and local potato grower, Vince Panetta, will be the Harvest Basket’s guest green thumb.

Harvest Basket spokesperson, Jill Pring, said Panetta would speak with home gardeners about all aspects of potato growing.

She said the Murradoc Road potato grower also sold raised, ‘no-dig’ wooden garden boxes to the public and would be able to assist community members with creating their gardens.

Pring said this month’s Harvest Basket meeting had been followed by a tour of

members, Mick and Joy Wallis’ garden. “We had about 30 members who took advantage of the chance to visit this inspiring and abundantly productive garden and pick up lots of practical tips on veggie growing,� Pring said. “The day was a huge success and once again promoted one of the benefits of this group – an opportunity to meet your neighbours and reinforce a sense of community.�

The June Havest Basket produce swap will be held at SpringDale Neighbourhood House from 9am to 11am.

For a wealth of gardening tips, a Drysdale Havest Basket membership form and further information about the food swap, visit www. drysdaleharvestbasket.org

Drysdale Preschool’s young gardeners, Elliot, Emily, Kayden and Summer, are celebrating the growth of their vegetables, the arrival of a new chicken in their garden and a $1,097.80 Junior Landcare School Garden Grant for their ‘Back to Earth’ garden project.

Donation for all to see

BY ALISON MARTIN FORT Queenscliff’s museum has a new attraction, thanks to the generous donation of a circa 1770 Flintlock pistol by former Royal Navy sailor, David Howarth.

The pistol is valued at $10,000 but Howarth, who has a terminal illness, didn’t want it to end up in a private collection; he wanted everyone to have an opportunity to see it.

“I have signed it over to the government and it will be at the Fort forever,” Howarth said.

“I paid 40 pound for it in 1970 when I was with the Royal Navy and gave it to my father, who’d served in the Australian and Royal

Navy.

“I found it in a pub in Devon that also sold collectables and 40 pound was a lot even back then; more than two weeks’ pay for me, but I wanted it for my father.

“It’s an old Navy revolver and so worn that it can’t be fired again. It’s the oldest gun they have now at the Fort.”

As a show of appreciation for the gift, the Fort hosted Howarth’s wedding to partner, Marie this month, including a small reception and the use of the Fort as a memorable backdrop for the special day.

Howarth said Navy chaplain, Carla Evans, had made the wedding possible and the newlyweds were extremely grateful for her assistance.

David Howarth has ensured future generations will have the opportunity to see a part of Naval history by gifting a 1770 Flintlock pistol to Fort Queenscliff.

End of the road for Pier Street PORTARLINGTON’S Pier Street will be closed at the Newcombe Street end to allow for the development of the new town square opposite the main shopping centre.

City of Greater Geelong received two submissions on the proposed discontinuance of Pier Street, but a review panel recommended the proposal go ahead, with council’s endorsement.

Coryule ward councillor, John Doull, said the discontinuance of Pier Street was the first step in the exciting redevelopment of Portarlington’s key shopping precinct and visitor hub.

“Amongst the aims of the Urban Design Framework were to strength Portarlington’s town identity and create an attractive hub for residents and visitors,” he said.

Doull said the Portarlington Business Development Association and Portarlington Community Association had supported the framework and improvements to the Portarlington Town Centre.

He said a new town square and streetscape would enhance the urban environment and provide a focus for community activity as well as events and attractions in the main shopping precinct of Portarlington.

Council has allocated funding through its 2009-2010 capital works budget to begin work on stage one of the Portarlington Town Centre Streetscape.

Funding for the completion of stage one is proposed in CoGG’s draft budget for 2010-1011.

BUDGET 2010-2011 CITY OF GREATER GEELONG

COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED THE CITY OF GREATER GEELONG’S DRAFT 2010-2011 BUDGET The aim of the 2010-2011 Budget is to maintain or improve service levels to the community without a major cost increase to ratepayers.

The average residential rate increase of 4.9 per cent places the City of Greater Geelong amongst the lowest rate increases of Victorian Councils.

The Budget provides funding for a wide range of community facilities and includes a $64.1 million capital works program.

WHY HAVE TIP FEES GONE UP? The State Government, through the Environment Protection Authority has increased its landfill levy from $9 per tonne to $33 per tonne as part of its ongoing campaign to reduce waste going to landfill. This significant increase has meant the City has had to put up fees for boot and trailer loads of rubbish taken to our landfill sites. Boot load $12.50, trailer load $32.50.

For this year at least we have managed to absorb much of the impact of this increase on our 3-bin recycling and waste collection service.

MORE FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE The Budget provides $11.9 million for road maintenance and upgrades which includes the resurfacing of 67.75 kilometres of roads. There is also funds to upgrade of 8.14 kilometres of footpaths.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS AT A GLANCE • Rate increase of 4.9 per cent equates to approximately $1 week for the average household • Funding to the Geelong Regional Library Corporation increased to $5.5 million • $64.1 million capital works program • Funding to plant and maintain 2,000 new street and park trees • $6.7 million for recreation reserves and facilities upgrades • $13.7 million for family services including day care • $4.1 million for stage one of the Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct • $17.1 million for aged services • $11.9 million for road maintenance and upgrades • $12.5 million for community buildings MAJOR EVENTS SUPPORT Major events are a proven contributor to our regional economy and this year Geelong is hosting the largest event ever to be staged in our region - the 2010 UCI Road World Championships.

Major events are a proven driver for economic activity and the Geelong region has earned a reputation as a major event capital. The UCI Road World Championships will deliver an estimated economic benefit of $80 million to Victoria.

The 2011 Australian International Airshow, Audi Victoria Week, Pako Festa and other major events all receive continued financial support.

In total the Budget provides more than $2.5 million funding for major and community events.

Drainage design and construction receives $3.5 million.

Public buildings receive a total of $12.57 million. Significant projects include the Waurn Ponds Library, the Vines Road Community Centre redevelopment and the Norlane North Shore Family Hub.

LOCAL LIBRARIES RECEIVE BOOST

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

In addition to the annual contribution to the library corporation the Budget provides $3.8 million for upgrades or new libraries at Vines Road, Waurn Ponds and Drysdale.

Sustainability and climate change are key themes of this year’s budget.

The Budget provides $700,000 for drought recovery initiatives including significant tree watering and ground renovation programs.

There’s $600,000 for the enhancement and protection of coastal, conservation and environmental reserves and another $600,000 for water quality and reuse programs.

The budget provides a $5.53 million to the Geelong Regional Library Corporation which is an increase of more than $500,000.

Rates assistance is available for pensioners and other ratepayers who may experience difficulties in paying their rates. The City will contact ratepayers who are likely to be eligible and invite them to apply for assistance.

Just as Federal and State Governments collect taxes to fund their programs, local governments must also generate funds to pay for the services they provide to the community.

The City decides how much revenue it needs by preparing an annual budget. It is the budget that determines how much the City collects in rates.

The budget also provides funds for the City’s Greenhouse Reduction Local Action Plan.

NEW CAPITAL PROJECT EXPENDITURE

The residential rate has increased by 4.9 per cent as the result of the 2010-2011 Budget. The increase to the average residential rate notice equates to approximately $1 per week.

Our rates are a general purpose levy which contributes to more than 120 services plus essential infrastructure such as roads, footpaths, parks, gardens, libraries and sports facilities. The City determines its funding priorities following extensive consultation with the community.

A highlight is $500,000 for a major tree planting program. 2,000 new street and park trees will be planted and maintained across the municipality.

The City’s $64.1 million capital works program concentrates on renewal of public infrastructure including roads, footpaths and key community facilities.

HOW DOES THE BUDGET AFFECT MY RATES?

COMMUNITY WELL BEING

RATES ASSISTANCE

The Budget provides significant funding for community based projects aimed at improving the health and quality of life of residents.

Rates assistance is available for pensioners and other ratepayers who have a household income below $44,165 and whose properties have had a 50 per cent or more increase in their valuation. Eligibility is also subject to a principle place of residence with no improvements test.

Aged services receive a total of $17.1 million and there’s $13.7 million for family services - which includes family and long day care, community child health, children’s services and parenting education.

Community hub projects receive $2.4 million.

WHAT IS REVALUATION? Councils are required by State legislation to undertake a revaluation every two years. The 2010 revaluation shows that residential property values in the municipality went up by an average of 11 per cent. The average residential property value for the City of Greater Geelong is $326,661. This shows our housing market remains quite healthy.

Some people assume that if their property value has increased substantially the City will collect more money in rates. This is not the case - we actually adjust the amount we levy on each property to achieve the average rate increase we determine through the Budget.

Owners whose property has increased noticeably less than the average of 11 per cent are likely to receive a reduction in their rates notice compared to the previous year.

The City will contact ratepayers who are likely to be eligible and invite them to apply for assistance. Pensioners are also eligible for the State Government Municipal Concession rebate of $187.60.

CARE TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT BUDGET AND CITY PLAN? The 2010-2011 Budget has been guided by Council’s strategic plan for the municipality, which is called City Plan. This plans sets out Council’s objectives for the next four years.

By planning in advance we can ensure that the projects and programs we put in place in the current year will fit with the needs of the community in years to come.

Written submissions on the draft Budget and City Plan are invited and must be received by Wednesday 9 June. Copies of the draft Budget are available at City’s Customer Service Centres and at www.geelongaustralia.com.au

Geelong Private opens new theatre AFTER extensive master planning, Geelong Private Hospital has opened an additional operating theatre, as part of a $7million upgrade and refurbishment of the regional health facility.

Geelong Private Hospital manager, Luke Edwards, said the new operating theatre brought the total number of theatres to five, including four main theatres and one dedicated separate day theatre.

“The new theatre is one stage of a major expansion and redevelopment at Geelong Private Hospital, providing a new sterilising department, increased storage and an expanded staff area for doctors and theatre staff,” he said.

“The new theatre has been fitted out with state of the art equipment such as operating table, lighting and anaesthetic machine.

“This additional theatre will provide the opportunity for the hospital to meet the health needs of the growing community and also provide operating opportunities for both existing surgeons to expand their operating capacity as well as providing new surgeons with operating times.

“In order to facilitate the extra capacity this theatre will generate, Geelong Private will soon be commencing works on a brand new ward situated on the top floor of the hospital comprising of 17 single rooms, the majority with a great outlook over Corio Bay.” The redevelopment is part of a major refurbishment of the hospital, which has already seen the acute medical ward renovated over the Easter period, with the rehabilitation area to follow shortly.

Simultaneous to the renovations and redevelopment within the hospital, external expansion is also under way.

The new Geelong Private Hospital Medical Centre, located on the corner of Little Ryrie Street and Argyle Street, is nearing completion.

“The specialists moving to this building are made up of those presently on site within Geelong

Louise Heunis, orthopaedic surgeon Robert Wood and Janene O’Brien in Geelong Private Hospital’s new theatre, which opened last week.

Private Hospital enabling the new ward expansion and those moving into the new complex from other medical rooms in town,” Edwards said.

“This new building will also provide well needed parking for these rooms and the hospital.”

Edwards explained the major redevelopment

represented a $7million investment and would ensure Geelong Private Hospital had the capacity to grow both now and into the future.

The hospital al provides a wide range of health services for local people as well as the surrounding Bellarine Peninsula,, Surf coast and Western district.

New initiatives to boost health services

THE NEW ‘Medicare Locals’ service and ‘E Health’ initiative announced in the Federal budget are exciting health developments for the Surf Coast and Bellarine region, according to Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. “Medicare Locals is a very practical programme which will help to cover existing holes in health service delivery on the Bellarine and Surf Coast, particularly where we have a mixture of growth communities and an older population,� Cheeseman said. “What we are going to do is connect all of the separate GPs in the region, connect them with dieticians, other health professionals, connect

them with aged care providers, and make sure that they talk to each other. “If no-one’s open on Sunday, then we’ll actually be able to co-ordinate a roster, perhaps employ someone to do that Sunday work and make sure that we’re really bolstering the services that GPs can provide. “We’re using the existing Divisions of General Practice to turn into these new Medicare Locals.� “The whole idea is to provide better, more timely services, and to keep people out of hospitals where we can. “There’s a lot of work to be done in improving what we do outside hospitals. We haven’t been as good in Australia at that as in other areas

so we think we need to make that investment.�

Cheeseman also said the new E Health was tailor-made for the region. “Last week we had the prime minister visit and see where we were at with our E Health initiatives. He was blown away, and it is clear that we are one of the leaders in this area in Australia,� he said. “The new fund will allow us to further develop our health information systems. “The idea is to set up a system whereby you’ll be able to look up your own health records the same way you could access your banking details online. You’ll be able to look up when your child had their vaccination and

whether you need to have another one. “It will be a very secure system that is going to be set up so that it’s entirely patient-controlled and the patient will determine who can see information. “The GP will still have their personal record for you. The pharmacist will have their information. What the Commonwealth will pay for is the spine of the system so that when you give permission you can actually download that information from all of the different health professionals.�

The Federal Government is investing $17million in Medicare Locals and $467million in the new E Health initiative.

Don’t resist the resistance – try something new

5261 7438 Dr. Tanya Ball

Tuesday 18 May 2010

Dr. Greg Connell Chiropractor

WE ALL know that exercises like running, cycling, swimming and walking are great for getting the weight off and keeping our cardiovascular system in good shape.

There is, however, another form of exercise that has so many advantages yet not many people actually do it – it is resistance training.

Despite what you might hear, resistance training (or weight training) won’t turn you into a bulging body builder and when performed properly it actually helps burn body fat as well as tone you up.

How, I hear you ask?

Regular resistance exercise such as weight training or even using your own body weight will increase the amount of muscle mass that your body has.

By having more muscle mass in your body, you will increase your metabolism as extra energy is required for the body to repair and maintain muscle tissue in the body.

The good news is that you will be burning calories long after you have finished resistance training as the body uses energy to repair muscle

tissue when we are rest or asleep.

Further to this, you will also change your body shape and start to lose those unwanted flabby bits!

Resistance training is also ideal for people with diabetes as it helps to control and regulate blood sugar levels.

You don’t have to join a gym or buy a heap of weights to do resistance exercise, either. You can get a great resistance workout by doing exercises simply by using your own body weight – a few sets of push ups, squats, lunges or even using pet food

tins as dumbbells will do.

Remember to check with your GP if you haven’t exercised for a while or if you have any medical conditions before starting an exercise programme.

Also, it is important that if you are lifting weights, to make sure you are doing the exercises properly to avoid injury. So it’s always best to check with a qualified trainer or gym instructor first.

For a better night’s sleep IF YOU or your partner are among the 40 per cent of Australian adults who snore, it is time to make a change and discover what people mean when they say ‘a good night’s sleep’.

Geelong’s My Sleep Clinic is achieving amazing results – a 95 per cent success rate – with its innovative approach to stopping patients snoring and treating sleep apnoea.

My Sleep Clinic founder, Dr George Klein, who is a dentist specialising in the dental management of snoring and sleep apnoea, has assisted hundreds of people to sleep well and improve their relationships, which have been affected by embarrassing, constant snoring.

He said many people did not understand why they snored and constantly felt tired or how easily

the problem could be treated. “Snoring occurs when there is partial airway obstruction during sleep and sleep apnoea involves when there is a total airway obstruction during sleep,� Klein said. “Sleep apnoea can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. It can affect your quality of life and lead to exhaustion from lack of sleep, lack of energy, difficulty with memory, depression and reduced sexual activity, so it is extremely important that it is treated. “Some 40 per cent of Australian adults snore, with 40 per cent of those people suffering sleep apnoea and 95 per cent of people with sleep apnoea are unaware they have it.�

Geelong’s My Sleep Clinic has developed breakthrough solutions in treating snoring with a dental appliance, specially designed and fitted for each individual patient. “At My Sleep Clinic we provide dental sleep

devices which have been scientifically proven to be front line treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea,� Klein said. “Treatment is quick because it only takes two visits to make a fully customised dental device for immediate results. The device is comfortable, portable and long lasting, with patients – and their partners – enjoying quiet nights of deep, refreshing sleep. “Our satisfied patients have reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, and they enjoy a better life through greater vitality.�

Klein is a member of the Australasian Sleep Association, the American Sleep Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Oral Design Organisation.

My Sleep Clinic treatment is approved for health fund rebates and provides ongoing support.

For more information, contact the sleep team today on 5273 4644.

After hours GP boost for Lorne LORNE residents will get better access to after hours GP services following a grant of $100,000 under the General Practice After Hours Programme from the federal government to the Lorne Medical Centre. “This is a good bit of news for Lorne and means the town will have better access to medical services,� said Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. “It is something that will give Lorne people a bit of peace of mind, as we all know people

don’t just get sick between the hours of 9am and 5pm. “With a big surfing community where accidents do occur and many families with young kids in the nearby area it is really important to have extended hours for medical services. “It will also be a comfort for the many older retired residents in the area when they get sick.�

General Practice After Hours grants of up to $100,000 over two years are available on a competitive basis to support after-hours services.

My Sleep Clinic in James Street, Geelong, has been assisting many people sleep well.

Time to make a decision for the majority

The opinions expressed here are the opinions of the letter writers exclusively and do not express the views of the Editor or Surf Coast News Pty Ltd. 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. Your letters should not exceed 250 words. Please provide your name, address and telephone number, which may be withheld from publication on request. 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.

Dear Editor, Surf Coast councillors won’t do what they are elected to do – make decisions on behalf of the majority of residents.

They are indecisive about the RACV’s application to harvest stormwater (government policy) between 200 and 500 metres before it flows into the ocean – stormwater that is heavily polluted with petrol, oil, brake fluid, tar, grease, dog poo, cigarette butts and other discarded rubbish. Harvested no further than 500 metres from the creek mouth, not one drop of this polluted water off the streets would otherwise flow into the majority of Jan Juc Creek.

The obstructionist, ill-informed and undemocratic minority lobbying against the harvesting proposal can rest assured that the flora and fauna along the majority of the creek will still be subject to vast volumes of polluted stormwater run-off from most Jan Juc streets.

It must be embarrassing and belittling for councillors to learn that at approximately the point in the creek where the RACV would construct a facility enhancing in-stream habitat (council officer recommendation 1.4), that the Surf Coast council long ago erected a sign (itself polluted by graffiti) that reads ‘Stop swimming in rubbish. Help prevent stormwater pollution’.

Having failed to heed the wishes of the majority on the footpath issue, the councillors now appear to be influenced by an ill-informed minority.

Perhaps when they are voted out of office the current councillors could wander around and make themselves aware of the council-erected sign and the happenings in their community.

Out of a job they would also be able to apply for the many positions created at the completed RACV construction, marvel at the enhanced beauty of the last few hundred metres of the creek and swim at a less polluted Jan Juc beach.

Screening is essential Dear Editor, Re Removal of Westcoast Business Park overlay by minister.

If the residents of Torquay township enjoy the visual approach to our town of natural vegetation and trees,then now is the time to let your local councillors know that you do not want it any other way.

The Planning Minister, Justin Madden, has agreed to remove the overlay applicable to the Business Park. The effect of this decision means that Bunnings must advertise any application for a planning permit in the local paper and give each of us the opportunity to object.

The original intention for this Business Park was never to have a highly visible shopping precinct with a huge green shed emblazoned with logos and commercial promises to entreat our patronage.

All this at the entrance to our township and close to the commencement of the iconic Great Ocean Road is repugnant to the eye and a travesty of proper planning guidelines.

This park must be completely and properly screened from the Surf Coast Highway and so preserve the visual aspect we now enjoy.

If you share my view please contact the local councillors informing them of your attitude and make an objection to any advertised planning application.

Peter Robinson Torquay

Screening the gateway to Torquay Dear Editor, The history of who said what and when in the saga of the Torquay Industrial Estate – now business park – is somewhat irrelevant now.

It is here and the advertising rules that did apply might not apply anymore. The problem remains as to where it is situated at the entrance to town.

We are fortunate to have the councillors we now have in the Surf Coast Shire, who clearly try to uphold the wishes of the people, even though some of them have not been in office for very long. As far as I am aware even council officers (some of whom have been serving us ratepayers for many years) have said all along that they will screen the industrial estate so that it will not be an eyesore.

This has been the way since the whole idea started because the site is at the gateway to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road, and so it is the first and last impression of the town we all love so well.

We should have confidence that this council will insist on implementing its own planning principles and ensure the screening is very effective, and spare everybody the need to constantly look at this oversight.

The fact that the vegetation screening failed is not council’s fault. Attempts to grow it again will take a long time and it will need to be done properly.

In the interim a ring road type screening will have to be put in place so that whatever development goes on in that estate will no longer be an issue, while the trees can slowly grow.

More support needed for Geelong Dear Editor, The Minister for Racing, Rob Hulls, and Racing Victoria Limited need to be more involved if Geelong Racing Club is to become a major provincial thoroughbred training centre.

Rural Victoria is the nursery of thoroughbred racing, and Geelong, our major provincial city, has all the attributes to become a leading training centre, albeit with the injection of further resources. Racing is about owners, horses, trainers and jockeys and if satisfactory facilities are in place, the rest will follow.

Unfortunately considerable frustration exists for trainers located off-site in the nearby training stables at Hawarth Court. Until three years ago trainers were able to walk their horses to the Geelong racecourse across Fellmongers Road at the designed and well lit crossing.

This crossing was installed after the intervention from the then Racing Minister and former Member for Geelong North, Neil Trezise, who recognised the need to grow Geelong racing by having increased

stabling in Hawarth Court.

After many years of successful operation without mishap, VicRoads closed this access on OH&S grounds. The now under-utilised Hawarth Court stables accommodate about 100 horses but have capacity to house over 200.

Due to rising costs associated with transporting horses to the track, it is now becoming unviable for trainers to use these stables.

The solution is to construct an underpass at the crossing site on Fellmongers Road for direct thoroughbred access to the racecourse.

I urge the Racing Minister to visit Geelong trainers and to make greater training opportunities available for them to regain earlier viability.

David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

Mission statement seems to be forgotten Dear Editor, Bellarine Bayside’s latest advertisement in the Bellarine Times (May 4) goes to great lengths to tell the community that it receives none of the municipal rate monies that residents pay to City of Greater Geelong.

This paid advertisement once again tells us very clearly that because the larger part – not all – of Bellarine Bayside’s revenue comes from campers, it will therefore respond only to the concerns of campers.

Yet the mission statement of the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee states: “Bellarine Bayside will protect and maintain all reserves under its jurisdiction in an efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable manner and promote tourism through the provision of high standard facilities for local community, tourists and holiday makers”.

The words “protect and maintain” and “high standard facilities for local community” appear to be totally ignored, with the result that local residents/ratepayers are totally dissatisfied with this organisation.

No wonder a petition has been presented to the Victorian Parliament, signed by more than 1,600 people, demanding that this organisation be replaced by one which will also show respect to the interests of residents, not just campers.

The original purpose in creating this organisation was, through the provision of facilities for feepaying campers, to create funding for the proper maintenance of our foreshores, parks and public amenities therein.

But under the current management structure, the interests of local residents are ignored, as evidenced by recent Bellarine Times’ publicity given to parents of young children who are very concerned about the unsafe playground facilities in the WG Little Reserve.

This is only one of the many examples of Bellarine Bayside neglect which have been highlighted in the media recently.

There is something fundamentally wrong when ratepayers have little or no say in the management of our foreshore, whilst our rates are paid to a council, which supposedly represents local residents, but which is effectively shut out of any control over our greatest community asset – the beaches and parks along our coastline.

FOR MOST Australians, improvements in the stock market have enhanced the retirement lifestyle they will be able to afford.

But according to the latest AMP Retirement Adequacy Index, more 40 per cent of the workforce is still not saving enough for a comfortable retirement.

The Retirement Adequacy Index (based on data from June 2009 and produced by Access Economics for AMP), compares Australians’ savings against a target set at 65 per cent of pre-retirement living standards.

It also takes into account all three elements of the Australian retirement savings system: superannuation, the age pension and personal savings.

The Index found around 4.5million Australians do not have sufficient savings for a comfortable retirement; an increase compared to six months ago. Among this group, the average shortfall is 9 per cent.

From January to June 2009, super balances rose on average by 6.9 per cent per member, thanks to improvements in the Australian share market, which regained nearly half of the losses it suffered during 2008.

Average super contribution rates held steady at 12.5 per cent. This was due to members aged over 55 who increased their contributions by 3.5 percentage points. Those aged under 40 decreased their super contribution rates. As a result, younger workers are now slipping

behind in the savings they need to fund a comfortable retirement, while comfortable retirement incomes are within reach of most older workers.

The Retirement Adequacy Index showed no improvements in womens’ superannuation balances, with women remaining far behind their male counterparts. Female workers now face retirement incomes 17 per cent lower than male workers. Females aged between 30 and 39 are experiencing the greatest shortfall in superannuation.

If you have any questions or would like more information about how you can plan to retire comfortably or any other financial matter, phone Coastline Financial Group on 5263 3964.

Why sacrifice?

By ALAN D’ANDREA from Investment Banking Institute HERE IS a gift. Get up to $1,000 free from the Federal Government.

Yes there are terms and conditions; you need to be employed, earn less than $61,920 per annum gross, and you need to match dollar for dollar the money, which has to go into your super fund.

The government puts up to $1,000 into your superannuation in a co-contribution arrangement designed to promote savings for retirement for lowincome earners.

There are other ‘gifts’ available too. Imagine getting the Australian Taxation Office to help fund your retirement plans. Here are some more ideas: Savings for retirement can be boosted by using money that would otherwise go to the tax office by entering into a salary sacrifice agreement.

According to ATO salary sacrifice arrangement arises where employees agree to give up part of their income that they would otherwise receive as salary or wages in return for their employer providing benefits of a similar value into the employee’s superannuation fund.

The benefit is they ‘sacrifice’ high tax dollars and their super fund pays a low contribution tax rate. The tax saving is locked away in the super fund.

By locking away more money in super you not only save tax on earning the income, but on the interest or returns generated from the investment of the funds.

Thus an employee is legally able to sacrifice a portion of their annual gross salary as additional contributions into superannuation to increase the amount contributed.

For the employee the salary sacrificed is not assessable income and they are taxed only inside the super fund. The employer contributions resulting from the salary sacrifice are assessable income of the fund and 15 per cent tax is payable.

Your financial advisor can help you.

Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice and you should see your financial adviser to see whether a salary sacrifice agreement or government co-contribution scheme would be suitable for your circumstances.

Celebrating Education Week GEELONG, Surf Coast and Bellarine government schools are celebrating Education Week and the range of quality opportunities and successful learning outcomes they offer children and young people throughout the region.

Regional Network Leader, Robyn Jeffrey, said the Victorian networking model fostered a climate where each school could individually and collectively improve, cited around the world as best practice.

Oscar, Lorcan and Alice are three of the Grade 5 and 6 students at Queenscliff Primary School who participate in the Netbook programme and each has their own laptop.

Teaching for Understanding

TAKE the time to explore Queenscliff Primary school and discover the benefits of 21st Century learning to prepare your child for the future.

Students at Queenscliff enjoy modern, specialist facilities, small class sizes and the opportunity to excel in a warm, caring environment.

Principal Peter Martella said the curriculum has been developed around a Teaching for Understanding framework to empower students to demonstrate a sound understanding of what they learn across every aspect.

“The balanced, talented staff includes a mix of experienced and young teachers at the forefront of emerging trends in education, who all know each students and their strengths,” he said.

“Every student is encouraged to develop investigative skills and prepare them for world with information that is relevant to children of the 21st Century.

“No child is overlooked and every student has an opportunity to accelerate in their learning. We also have one simple school rule that works successfully and is applied in all classes: ‘Safety first – respect always’.”

The growing school has a unique environmental learning precinct, including a new purpose-built environmental centre, outdoor learning space overlooking Swan Bay, sustainable vegetable garden, propagating facilities and chicken pen.

“We have a well-equipped arts centre and a high ratio of one computer

to every two students, with access to the latest IT equipment ranging from film-making lighting to video and digital cameras,” Martella said.

“There is a strong sense of community between parents, students and teachers and we are fortunate to have a dynamic school council which is dedicated to further developing our school grounds and facilities.

“Our enrolments are increasing because families are taking a tour of our school to see what we have at Queenscliff Primary School and what we can offer their children.”

An open day to showcase the school community is planned on Saturday, August 14 and tours of the school are available now by contacting the school on 5258 1696.

Did you know…

Torquay College The learning core of Torquay College is a focus on individual learning, with teachers planning a curriculum that genuinely responds to individuals.

New learning tools include development of a wood-fired oven onsite, integrating multiple learning areas, a new suite of iMacs, and the newly opened enviro centre, which is used every day and awaiting installation of environmental monitoring to empower students to track resource use throughout the college.

Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 College Continuing its proud tradition in surfing, the college participated in the Victorian Secondary Schools Surfing Association State finals at Phillip Island last week. The Lorne campus Student Representative Council has initiated a ‘Shades for Aids’ fundraising day to raise money to support children and their families affected by Aids. All students are encouraged to wear sunnies on this day and donate a gold coin.

Belmont High School Belmont High School has developed a special relationship with the Geelong Rats of Tobruk Association. The Geelong association’s banner was formally presented to the school’s students in 2009 to keep in our care, and to march with in ANZAC ceremonies on behalf of the Geelong ‘diggers’. This is an important relationship, which celebrates the achievements of our Rats, unites school leaders and community, and will survive well into our history.

Oberon High School Oberon High School students are embarking on the trip of a lifetime to India, trekking to the base of the Himalayas and completing community projects in country villages. All the participants have engaged in an 18-month programme of fundraising and planning. Oberon High School focuses on developing the leadership skills of every student. Programmes such as the World Challenge trip to India and our involvement in the RACV Energy Challenge bring these skills to the fore as each student takes responsibility for an aspect of the event.

Grovedale Secondary College Grovedale College Sports Academy is now supplemented by a state-ofthe-art fitness centre, accessible to students during the day with community memberships available. This supports the Sports Academy Programmes operating through Years 7-12, with specialist coaching streams in netball and AFL from Year 9 coached by James Kelly/ Steve Johnson and Susan Meaney.

Owners of the Grovedale arm of the fast-growing furniture company, Rowan and Debbie Kent, are

passionate about their business and the unique opportunity Vast Interior offers the marketplace.

“Many of our products are one-offs, very special and very different from anything else you see these days,” Rowan said.

The passionate furniture and home interior guru is fresh from a trip to China and Vietnam where he was sourcing antiques and making connections for future furniture finds.

“It was just phenomenal,” he said of the trip.

“We have secured some 90- to 120-year-old

The team at Vast Interior has your homewares and furniture needs covered.

Chinese antique furniture which was sourced from old farming properties.”

Rowan encourages people to come in and check out the range of eclectic furniture and home interior pieces they have on offer.

“The pieces speak for themselves. Some of these things you just wouldn’t find anywhere,” he said.

Vast’s Eastern-inspired collections capture a world of colour, heritage and quality craftsmanship.

Interesting, unusual ideas inspire beautiful handmade furniture, including a range of tables made from antique Indian boat wreckages.

And, further than that, the company also supports the communities that produce the products.

Rowan said Vast provides healthcare and education in the small Indian village that they source their tables from.

Rainbows for the region LOCAL charity Rainbow Riders has helped hundreds of local children build confidence, communication skills, improve relationships and build self esteem across almost a decade of operation.

Rainbow Riders is an equine-assisted growth and learning centre that provides a unique, long-term, client-focused day programme for disadvantaged young people.

The programme aims to improve self-esteem and confidence, family and peer relationships and social skills, and encourages healthy choices, behaviour modification, and anger management.

Sessions are available through the remainder of 2010 to local families to support the growth and development of primary aged children who need that little extra – beyond the family environment – care and nurturing.

The Rainbow Riders programme develops children’s real potential in a safe, supervised environment.

Situated on a 20-hectare property on the Barwon Heads Road between Geelong and Breamlea, the not-for-profit children’s charity uses horse therapy – and all the related farm activities that involves – at the core of its programme.

Children attend for periods of one hour, three hours and even full day sessions if appropriate. A number of children have their time at Rainbow Riders incorporated into their school or care program.

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 ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 Mr P Holden, the Customs officer in charge of the wreck, with three mounted police and several constables were camped on the beach for the protection of the revenue. The remains of the hull and wreck had canted over to the weather side, and numbers of dark objects washed out after the decks had burst were seen floating in with the tide. In some places sections of the decking were found at high water mark, where the retreating tide had left them, and a little further on the lower half of the mainmast was lying. An interesting relic of the wreck was a considerable portion of the stern, wrenched off from the rest of the hull, and carved upon it in gilt letters, the words JOSEPH H. SCAMMELl, ST. JOHN, N.B. On Saturday a large trunk of clothing, belonging to the wife of the captain, was washed ashore unharmed, a suit of clothes owned by the mate, also arrived on the beach during the day, and was welcomed by the owner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enjoy the Celtic craic A HOST of emerging artists will take centre stage at next month’s Celtic Festival in Portarlington.

With an assortment of acts from Ireland, Scotland and home grown talent, the festival – which will be held from June 11-14 – is shaping as the best ever.

Festival director, Una McAlinden, said she was proud to be assembling the biggest collection of Celtic culture in the land, which she described as an enormous, but exciting, task.

“This year is going to be massive. We’re busy putting together the biggest programme we’ve ever had,” McAlinden said.

“There’s going to be more acts and more fantastic venues operating for longer as we cater to our evergrowing audience.

“Our programme includes a record number of young performers this year.

“We are passionate about supporting emerging younger artists so we feature lots of Celtic bands with crossover styles.”

The National Celtic Festival 2010 is Australia’s biggest celebration of Celtic music and culture.

This year festival-goers will enjoy a bumper programme – the largest in the festival’s history – including full-scale concerts, intimate jam sessions, special events, competitions and workshops beginning on Friday night and running right through until Monday afternoon.

Hundreds of performers from more than 60 acts will represent the cream of Celtic musicians, singers, poets, dancers and storytellers from across Australia and around the world.

Heading the line-up of international talent is hot young Irish group Beoga, making its Aussie debut at the festival; one of the world’s best loved singer/songwriters Eric Bogle is returning by popular demand; award-winning solo artist John Spillane (Ireland), rebel singer/songwriter Gary Óg (Scotland) and, fresh from the dark heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar district, The Craic Hooers (Ireland).

The Australian contingent will include the everpopular Bushwackers, the traditional sounds of Conundrum, The Borderers, Fiddler’s Feast, The Go Set, Pearl, The Rumjacks, Cornerbrook, Bhan Tre and much more.

Another exciting element of the programme will be a series of instrument-themed concerts. Harpists will gather together for ‘Pulling on my harp strings’; while fiddle players, pipers and singers will also join forces for these unique concerts.

“The concerts will be hosted by some of the festival’s best known musicians and singers,” McAlinden said.

Welcome to paradise

YOU’VE got to hand it to winemaker Doug Neal, who in the last few years has resurrected a local winery from obscurity into one of the most exciting new cutting-edge producers of our region.

Here are some recent comments by the highly esteemed wine writer, Jeremy Oliver, who succinctly lets us know just where this winery stands and where it’s heading” “Doug Neal has transformed the rebirth of what began as Moorabool Estate into one of the most inspiring labels in Victorian wine: Paradise IV. “Largely based around Shiraz, the vineyard’s collection of reds marries pure, beautifully presented fruit with fine, appropriately seasoned oak and the finest, crunchiest of tannin backbones – all at old-fashioned modestly alcoholic strengths.

“The wines are rustic, unashamedly reductive and deliciously complex, delivering a line of purity and elegance before a finish of length and refinement.

“They will help to redefine Australian Shiraz into the next decade and beyond. Of Grand Cru-like strength and stature, the deep, brooding Chardonnay requires patience and time.”

I first tasted the wines when they were known just as Moorabool Estate (established 1988 on land that was originally cultivated by the legendary James Henry Dardel circa 1848) – from this vineyard about six, maybe seven years ago and to be truthful, I wasn’t overly impressed.

I remember them as big, robust, yet clunky/simple wines choc full of over-ripe fruit and harsh tannins… and that was it essentially.

The ‘re-invigoration’ via Doug Neal’s involvement since 2006 has seen a total revamp with huge improvements in all respects, from lower cropping levels and new trellising in the vineyard to minimal intervention in the winemaking process (more traditional approach), through to new bottle shape, a sense of history with the labelling etc.

I really admire what Neal’s trying to achieve here – finer texture and flavour, true complexity, lower alcohols, savouriness, ripeness but not fruit ‘sweetness’, suppleness, balance, more expression that reflects the site (terroir), I could go on and on… pretty much all the things that set great wines apart from mere ‘good’ wines.

Neal brings to the table an enviable apprenticeship working under the stewardship of none other than Rick Kinzbrunner for 13 years at the iconic ‘Giaconda’ winery up in Beechworth – undoubtedly one of Australia’s upper echelon wine producers.

His new 2008 releases are garnering massive kudos and recognition among the industry cognoscenti and are well worth discovering if you haven’t already.

Volunteers spin 100 years of good yarns GEELONG’S National Wool Museum last week honoured five volunteers who have each dedicated more than 20 years of service to the museum.

Norma Dessent, Everett Foster, Noel Balaam, Ruth Pope and Alison McCook were all honoured at a special morning tea for all 70 of the museum’s regular volunteers during Volunteers Week.

Dessent has volunteered at the museum since it opened in 1988, while Foster, Balaam, Pope and McCook have all reached the 20-year milestone in the past 12 months.

City of Greater Geelong portfolio holder for arts and culture, councillor Barbara Abley, said the legion of volunteers were the heart of the museum.

“These dedicated men and women give their time to provide visitors with guided tours and great stories about their lives in and around wool,” Abley said “They provide an invaluable service, both behind the scenes and with the public, conducting tours, hosting school groups, explaining exhibitions, assisting with activities and much, much more.”

The volunteers’ combined centenery of service coincides with the 100th birthday of the museum’s grand centrepiece, its Axminster Jacquard carpet loom.

The ever-popular Axminster Jacquard carpet loom, which this year celebrates its 100th birthday, produces a Manor House Rug.

The still-operational loom is one of the museum’s most popular attractions. The iconic gripper-type loom uses a card punch computer, first invented in the 1800s, to still produce carpet to this day.

Demonstrations by the museum’s qualified loomsmen are a highlight of any visit and visitors can purchase a unique Manor House Rug, produced on the century-old loom, in the museum shop.

Loom demonstrations are held regularly at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong. Entry costs are $7.30 for adult, $5.90 for concession, $3.65 for children and $20 for a family of two adults and up to four children.

For more information on the museum, phone 5272 4701.

Get creative for the beanie festival Tuesday 18 May 2010

BY ELEANOR WOODS IF YOU are nutty about knitting or keen on a beanie then you will be warmed to know the annual Torquay Beanie Festival is not that far away.

The winter festival was launched last week at Spring Creek Neighbourhood House in a bid to attract beanie makers to get involved in the event, which will run from July 23 to August 1.

One of the organisers, Jan Hale, is encouraging people of all ages to submit a piece for the display, saying the festival was a great chance to get involved in the community and help “light up Torquay�. “There are so many wonderful styles and creations. Get involved and get creative,� Hale said. “You can work on your own or join a local group.�

The festival, which showcases woolen wares in shop windows on Torquay’s Gilbert Street, gives Surf Coast residents the opportunity to see the variety of intricate and wacky works that are being created in the region.

Hale’s currently working on a dreadlock beanie and said there was

no limit to what could be created.

Colour, warmth, creativity and quirkiness all came into play when making beanies, she said.

All sizes and styles are being sought as well as entrants for the Beanie Competition. “It will be great. It will bring heaps of people into the town,� Hale said.

Some of the works on show in the festival will be sold, while many others will be donated to charities.

With the festival just over two months away, it is time to get knitting now.

Beaut Beanies meets on Tuesdays at 10.30am at the Uniting Church, in Torquay’s Anderson Street.

The Spring Creek craft group meets on Wednesdays at 10.30am, at Spring Creek Community House in Prince Street.

Pear Tree Knit group meets on Wednesdays from 7pm-9pm at the Pear Tree CafĂŠ in Gilbert Street.

Tess Cassar, Jan Hale, and Judith Mcphail hold lovingly handmade beanies for the annual festival, which was launched last week.

Stories from the Antarctic TORQUAY Books will be hosting an evening with two local authors this Friday night.

Spring Creek Community House will host the evening, which will feature Diana Patterson in conversation with John Bartlett, at 7.30pm.

High adventure and high achievement go hand in hand for Patterson, a former chief executive officer of the Surf Coast Shire.

She was the first woman to head an over-winter team as officer in charge at Australia’s Antarctic base at Mawson, and she also spent a summer season as station leader elect at Casey station in 1988.

She said that after 22 years she has given in to the urgings of friends and written of her experiences in her new book, The Ice Beneath My Feet – My Year in Antarctica.

Patterson said she was inspired by a number of strong women as role models in her school years and became a top performer in hockey, softball, athletics, swimming and basketball.

A slide night by her Mildura headmistress, Enid Borschmann, who had been a chef at Macquarie Island, planted the seed for her to aim at joining Australia’s Antarctic team.

Persistence, plus her organisational skills, fitness and high country skiing, bushwalking and camping experience, eventually paid off in her applications to lead an Antarctic team. “It was an eight-day sea voyage from Hobart and

Diana Patterson during her time at the Antarctic base.

it was really exciting to be sailing to the bottom of the world,� Petterson said. “We started to see ice, then icebergs: awesome, just awesome! “I discovered I’d got the best job in the world.�

Patterson said there were challenges in the dynamics of ensuring a productive, harmonious workplace with 24 specialists in their fields cooped up together, with the hazards including the isolation, blizzards where you could get disoriented and lost

within metres of a base hut, and the risk of accidents.

Among highlights of her time at Mawson were three months spent away from base on tractor trains, counting penguins and on a 350km dog sled trip camping out on islands and the shore each night.

Patterson now divides her time between her home in Anglesea and in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Cost for the evening is $10 and bookings should be made with Torquay Books, phone 5261 2311.

Spanish works go on show at Tigerfish A TOUCH of Spain will come to Torquay with an exhibition of works from Spanish photographer, Alberto Sanchez.

Tigerfish, located at Bell Street, will display Sanchez’s works from this week.

Originally from Aranda de Duero in Spain, Sanchez now lives in Byron Bay – where the lifestyle and freedom of the surrounds helps to whet his creative appetite.

Sanchez sees photography as a creative art form that is not constricted to the digital medium, where he photographs, prints, hacks and re-invents his own photographs to give them his unique flavour.

He has won numerous awards for his photography and a number of his works will be on display – and for sale – at Tigerfish.

For more information, drop into Tigerfish at Shop 12/15 Bell Street, Torquay, or phone 5264 7471.

Classic tragedy gets a makeover WITH a cast of hot young actors and a thrilling story about love and passion, Shakespeare’s R&J is a bold new interpretation of a classic Shakespearean tragedy.

A hit worldwide, Shakespeare’s R&J has played more than 400 performances in New York and won the prestigious Lucille Lortel Award.

The Riverside Productions’ season of Shakespeare’s R&J opens at GPAC’s new Playhouse theatre this month.

Set in the repressive atmosphere of a Catholic boys boarding school, four students secretly explore Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for their own enjoyment.

At first it’s just for laughs, but as the young men discover the themes of secret and forbidden love, they gradually immerse themselves in the roles.

“I wanted to get to the essence of what I think Shakespeare is: passionate, violent, thrilling and theatrical,” said playwright, Joe Calarco.

“By cutting the cast to four guys we’ve been able to explore the way men interact and how they view women, sex and masculinity.”

This fascinating, insightful and beautifully crafted play was acclaimed in its 2008 Riverside season. Now by popular demand, director Craig Ilott (Hedwig and The Angry Inch) returns to bring Shakespeare’s R&J to stages around Australia,

including Geelong.

The production stars Gareth Holcombe, Tom Stokes, Julian Curtis and Ben Gerrard.

Shakespeare’s R&J will be in The Playhouse

Vic Hunt award up for grabs

Tuesday 18 May 2010

THE BACKSTREET Blues Band will be special guests at the Sleepy Hollows Blues Club this Sunday for one of the club’s biggest evenings of the year.

The five-piece band will make a guest appearance for the announcement of the seventh Vic Hunt Memorial Music Award.

Hunt was well known in the Geelong area as well as throughout Victoria and interstate. He loved all music – rock, jazz, folk, but particularly blues – and was one of the founding members of the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club in 1994 and was inaugural president for three years.

He died on May 19, 2003 while white water rafting in Tasmania.

Hunt played with many bands over the years, including the Blue Mountain String Band, Grizzly Brothers, 4.3 Bandinos, Momma Don’t Allow and Mallee Roots as well as many other blues, jazz and Irish bands.

He was also a mentor to many young local

musicians and would encourage them to come up and play beside him.

To commemorate his life and philosophies, his family and friends established the Vic Hunt Memorial Music Award to encourage those who are trying to make a go of a musical career and deserve an encouragement award.

This year, entries have arrived from nonprofessional musicians and songwriters of all ages and include all genres of music.

Final judging and announcement of the winner will take place at a live performance of entrants at the seventh annual Memorial Tribute Night this Sunday.

After many years of providing great blues and loads of fun, the Backstreet Blues Band decided to take a break, but were only to pleased to return to the blues club for this important evening.

The band consists of Graeme Lear (guitar, saxophone and vocals), Kelvin Plumb (guitar, harp and vocals), Craig Chiller (bass and vocals), Gary Marshall (keyboards) and Steve

Minutoli (drums). They have appeared at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and the Maldon Folk Festival, among many others.

Their blend of fast-rocking blues together with melodic ballads has people up on their feet and dancing whenever they perform.

The fun they have on stage is infectious and you can be assured of a good time with the band on stage.

The jamming will start at 3pm, so bring your instruments, followed by the famous barbecue.

Final judging and announcement of the winner will take place after a live performance of entrants at 6pm, followed by the Backstreet Blues Band.

The Sleepy Hollows Blues Club is situated at the Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers Street, Geelong.

Entry is $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers.

For more information, phone 0434 126 644.

PUBLIC NOTICE - CORANGAMITE CMA

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY CoastalTender - Call for Expressions of Interest open

Burn Off Grass Tree Park

A new coastal incentive program known as CoastalTender has been funded by the Australian Government to implement long term protection and enhancement of the coastline within the Corangamite region. This new funding will support land managers in the management and conservation of native vegetation and habitat on properties (>1ha) along the Corangamite coastline, including revegetation with indigenous species. The project will cover the entire coastline for the Corangamite region, as well as areas surrounding the Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar sites which fall within the Corangamite region.

The current budget for the first round of CoastalTender is approximately $500,000. It is open to private land owners, local government shire councils and foreshore committees of management to undertake works on land that they directly manage.

Land managers who formally express interest in the scheme will receive an obligation-free site assessment, and a draft management plan. The plan will contain a vegetation assessment and provide advice on management options. Following this, the land manager will be invited to submit a tender nominating the bid price they are seeking in order to undertake the management actions as outlined in the management plan.

Tenders will then enter a competitive tender evaluation process. Once successful tenders have been determined, a five year agreement based on the agreed actions included in the bid will be signed. Land managers can also opt to include long-term protection commitments in their agreement, which will improve their competitiveness.

Under these agreements, the land manager will receive financial incentive payments. Only actions that are over and above those required by current responsibilities under existing arrangements and legislation will be eligible for support.

For further information, and to register an Expression of Interest, please telephone Polly Matthews on 0417 511 999 (Monday to Wednesday) or visit the website at www.ccma.vic.gov.au – be quick because oversubscription in the scheme may result in later registrations missing out.

Government Funded Courses NOW available!

MAY 18 - MAY 24 2010 Saturn (your ruling planet) and Jupiter are at odds this week so it will be difficult to get the ratio right between work and play. Being a workaholic is not the answer! Make sure you set aside plenty of time for rest and relaxation – especially on Sunday. Balance is the key. Single Goats - don’t spoil your romantic chances by being too business-like.

Avoid the temptation to fly off the handle this week – especially with testing teenagers and fractious friends. Steer clear of controversial topics, as you’ll have trouble hiding your true feelings. The weekend favours tackling practical DIY projects as you make your home a more cozy, comfortable and creative place to be.

Voluptuous Venus sashays into your sign (until June 14) so prepare to be at your flirtatious best as you dazzle others with your ample Cancerian charms. Attached Crabs – if you try to control or manipulate your partner, you’re in for a tumultuous week. Singles – now’s the perfect time to jump into the pool of love. The water’s just fine!

Librans love luxury, but do you really need a lot of material glitz and glamour to make you happy? Perhaps it’s time to downsize your lifestyle?

For the sake of your stretched bank balance – and the environment. Be inspired by birthday great Bertrand Russell “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.�

Taureans are a tenacious lot – but you can also be incredibly intractable, as your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes become set in stone. With Mercury in your sign (until June 10) you’re even more stubborn than usual. Take on board the wise words of Edward de Bono (born on May 19) “If you never change your mind, why have one?�

Don’t accept things at face value – or be seduced by false flatterythis week. Look beneath the surface gloss (and sugar-coated words) to discover what’s really going on. Mighty Mars is charging you up with extra energy so make sure you utilise the power surge constructively.

Friday favours independent projects, freedom and adventure.

‘Keep moving forward and don’t look back’ should be your current mantra. With proactive Mars in your career zone (until June 7) you’re full of initiative as you take the lead at work. If you are looking for employment you need to be one step ahead of the pack, which means searching out jobs before they are advertised.

You’ll feel super idealistic this week, as you strive to make the world a better place. Don’t get so carried away that you forget your nearest and dearest though. Sometimes it’s best to start your charitable work in your own backyard! Love at first sight is likely for some singles – but is it really love, or just a brief and thrilling fantasy?

Twins are fabulous talkers but you’re not so good at listening. This week’s stars encourage you to slow down and observe what’s going on around you, as you pay close attention to what other people are saying.

As the Sun shimmies into your sign, it’s your time to shine and show the world how talented and versatile you really are.

No one will be able to live up to your incredibly high standards this week, and loved ones won’t appreciate you pointing out their shortcomings (at regular intervals!) Try to keep criticism – no matter how ‘constructive’ – to yourself. Some Virgos will enjoy planning a future holiday, or communicating with a loved one from overseas.

Sassy Sagittarians are in a sunny mood this week, but what’s wrong with everyone else? It will take a lot of effort and enthusiasm to get others going (especially on the weekend) so perhaps it would be best to stick to solo projects. If you combine passion with persistence, then you’ll have a wonderful week.

Expect your creativity and intuition to go through the roof, which is good news for artistic and spiritual souls. But don’t overdo it, otherwise you’ll slip into fantasy-land where problems are avoided; nothing gets done; and you could be taken for a ride. Sometimes there’s a fine line between being romantic and being unrealistic!.

Tucker takes marathon GEELONG’S Matt Tucker continued his natural progression with the Great Ocean Road Marathon by taking out the 45-kilometre showpiece on the weekend.

Tucker (pictured left) had won the Marriner’s Lookout 6.5-kilometre run in 2005, the Paradise 14-kilometre race in 2007 and 2008 and the 23-kilometre half marathon.

Continuing to step up in distance, the 30-year-

old maintained his proud record with a strong victory over Scott Rantall in the time of 2 hours, 29 minutes and 41 seconds.

Yared Temesgen finished third with defending champion, Kenya’s Charles Muturi, fourth home.

Muturi’s effort was outstanding considering his did not leave Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport until 2am on Saturday.

Tucker’s victory is the first time an Australian

has taken out the men’s event.

Meanwhile, Northern Territory’s Lucie Hardiman was an impressive winner of the women’s marathon.

Hardiman had 10 minutes to spare at the finish line over Kristen Wyatt, with Isobel Bespalov third.

More than 4,500 competitors enjoyed the brilliant weather over the two days of the carnival.

Well done mum: Women’s Lucie Hardiman is congratulated by her son.

Sean Charleston golfing tips: chipping Chipping is a very important aspect of the game of golf. If you have the confidence to be able to chip and putt every time you miss a green, the pressure will be taken away from your approach shots. The key to improving your chipping is making sure the club head finishes close to the ground on the follow-through. This will ensure the loft on the golf club lifts the ball into the air and not your hands trying to scoop the ball into the air.

Coasters stroll to top of the table Men’s Surf Coast Provisional 2 (2) v Lalor United (0) Surf Coast FFV Prov 2 men went to the top of the table with a 2-0 win against lowly Lalor. As usual Surf Coast had trouble with a bottom level team, with both goals coming later in the second half.

Men’s Provisional 2 Reserves Surf Coast (4) v Lalor (0) Surf Coast started well with an early goal after which they settled into a good rhythm. An overall team effort saw the Coasters come out on top.

Men’s Div 2 Surf Coast (2) vs Surfside Waves (2) The Coasters got their first point of the season in a well played game on Sunday. Ben Sonderlund started the party early in the first half with an amazing strike from outside the penalty area, and Scott Farrero continued it in the second half.

Women’s Surf Coast (1) vs Surfside Waves (8)

The Surf Coast women’s team took on Surfside Waves at Connewarre, showing much more confidence this week. Although they went down 8-1 to their Ocean Grove opponents, they played better than the scoreboard suggests.

U16 girls Surf Coast (0) v Kardinia (0) A nil-all draw at full time seems always to be the result these days when Surf Coast plays the ultradefensive Kardinia. With this draw, Surf Coast remain unbeaten and on top of the table after four games. Next week will be a huge match against a tough and talented Geelong girls team.

U15 boys Lara (1) v Surf Coast (0) Surf Coast were unfortunate to go one down to an own goal in an evenly contested first half.

Even though they played well for long periods of the game they could not quite force a goal.

U14 Girls Surf Coast Yellow (1) v Surf Coast Blue (1) The two Surf Coast teams drew 1-1 in a hotly

contested game at The Quay. It was great for the girls to play in front of a crowd and they were enthusiastically supported by parents and visiting Melbourne players.

U12 girls Surf Coast (3) v Geelong Rangers (3) The legends continue their two major traits. They got off to a slow start yet again being 2-0 down at the half-time break before coming back to even the score. After this draw, the Legends remain undefeated but are tempting fate U12 boys Surf Coast Yellow (3) v Barwon Red (0) Surf Coast dominated the first half, finishing one up at the break. The second half saw the lead widen to a 3-nil win at full time.

U12 boys Surf Coast Blue (1) v Bell Park (4) Bell Park displayed great skills to come out 4-1 victors in spite of a great game by Matt, Ollie and Harrison for the coasters.

The Surf Coast girls under 14 Yellow and Blue teams battled it out for a 1-1 draw on the weekend.

THE LONGBOARDING Lalor family conquered the Victorian Championships recently despite a car crash in the lead-up to the event.

Apollo Bay’s Lalors, a surfing family of five, were “primed” for the Jan Juc competition, but just days before the event, mum, Caroline, and youngest son, Adam, were in a car accident.

Driving toward Forrest, just four kilometers from Apollo Bay, Caroline lost control of the family vehicle.

Husband, Brett, said she was thought to have struck an oil patch, which forced the car to spin out before leaving the road and hitting an embankment.

“I got a call saying there had been a car accident. It was a really scary moment,” Brett said.

Luckily, the pair escaped with only whiplash and grazes.

“There was smashed glass and they must have been in a bit of a shock,” Brett said.

Despite the accident, Adam, 11, still competed in the championship event alongside Brett, and his brothers, Oscar, 16 and Luke, 14.

The boys did the family proud, all taking advantage of the weekend swell and placing high among their competitors.

Oscar won the Under 18 section and also made it into the semi-final of the Men’s Open section.

The teenager was “stoked” to have qualified for the Australian Championships, which will be held in Port Macquarie.

“He’s pretty overwhelmed by it all,” Brett said.

Adam finished fifth in the Under 16s and Luke made it to the Under 18 semi-finals.

Caroline had to sit out the event out because of her injuries but hoped it hadn’t destroyed her chances of qualifying for the National Championships.

THE MAKO legislation has not been prioritised sufficiently by the government during this current sitting of parliament this week to enable it to be debated in the senate.

The earliest the legislation can now be debated and voted upon is June 15.

The federal coalition, through Senator Colbeck, has tried to put significant effort into having this legislation expedited but the government as manager of business in the senate did not agree to such demands.

Therefore under the current legislation it is still illegal to fish for makos, but at least for now the government is standing by its commitment not to enforce this law.

Questions that need to be answered include: Why is the government dragging its feet on passing the new legislation?

Why not put to rest all the uncertainty?

Stop marine pests

IT HAS been brought to my attention that Apollo Bay harbour contains the marine pest Undaria (Japanese Wakame Kelp) Key features of Undaria include a stripe up the middle of the frond and a frilly growth at the base.

You can help stop this pest from spreading by following the instructions below: Boat ramp vessels When leaving: • Dislodge all seaweed from your vessel • Drain all harbour water from your vessel • Wash down and dry your vessel and all equipment exposed to harbour water • Do not re-launch in another location before taking these steps Divers • No diving or swimming in

harbour without a permit • After diving wash and dry your dive suit and equipment before you re-enter the sea Moored vessels Before leaving the harbour you must: • Maintain your anti-foul system – keep hull and wet areas free of marine growth • Dislodge all seaweed from your vessel • Pump out all water taken from the harbour (or pump out far away from inshore reefs).

Anglers After fishing at Apollo Bay harbour: • Wash and dry fishing equipment used in the harbour before using elsewhere • Do not discard harbour water or seaweed away from the harbour.

For further information contact the Department of Sustainability and Environment on 136 186.

Managing sporting injuries

BY ADRIAN DEANS, PHYSIOTHERAPIST

WELL, winter sport season is with us again and so too are the numerous sports strains and sprains that are a common occurrence.

As such it is timely to remind all athletes about acute injury management. Many people remain confused over when to use ice or heat and what is the best thing to do when an injury occurs.

Most soft tissue injuries result in damage to muscles, tendons or ligaments through impact or overstretching. This results in bleeding and the initial inflammatory response in the tissues.

The best management for such injuries is remembered by the acronym RICER. The RICER regime should be followed for the first 48 hours following injury to reduce bleeding, swelling and further injury to the damaged part.

This results in less tissue damage and an injury that is easier to rehabilitate and a quicker return to sport. RICER stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral.

Another acronym is important to remember.

During the first 48 hours you should do no HARM. That is, apply no Heat, consume no Alcohol, do not Rub or massage the part, and avoid excessive Movement as these things can increase bleeding and swelling.

Injuries are a common occurrence. Being fit, doing a thorough warm up prior to the event and using correct equipment can all help to minimise the risk, but should they occur, following the RICER and no HARM routines will ensure a quicker recovery.
