Queenscliff prepares for massive weekend of family fun, music and entertainment at annual festival

BY ALISON MARTIN MORE than $2million, 7,000 people and one of the biggest line-ups of quality, allgenerational performers in Australia will hit the Bellarine this weekend.

The Queenscliff Music Festival will celebrate its 13th big year with some of the best entertainers in the industry and emerging artists who will offer their raw talent to an appreciative crowd of all ages.

The unique festival, however, is also a celebration of community and the dedication of the QMF organisers who have maintained the energy to create and build on the event’s success.

A core group of about 60 organisers, supported by another 400 volunteers, have worked all year to bring together the eclectic mix of performers for three days of the nationally-acclaimed, family-friendly festival.

For the QMF team, preparing for the major Bellarine event is a 12-month passion, with plans already being made for next year – well before the first musician hits the stage for 2009.

QMF director, Barbara Moss, believes the festival has evolved into a widelyrespected national music event because of the overall vision.

“Some festivals are pretty much about the headliners, but this is about music diversity; the fabric of the line-up, and the town – the entire weekend experience,” Moss said.

“We have a unique demographic… It’s an adult contemporary festival but family

friendly, with entertainment that is enjoyed across the generations.

“And so much of what we do is about discovery; our emerging artists are an important part of what makes us different.

“Queenscliff is about preserving the family environment, so our ticketing is based on keeping it this way.”

The QMF organisers also take a proactive approach to festival management.

“We are, like other festivals, conscious of issues relating to public safety and actively work with police, the Borough of Queenscliffe and the local community to address these,” Moss said.

“The police praise our event and there’s not a big drug culture associated with our event.

“We’re not a youth fest but we are a music lovers’ festival for everyone.”

The Queenscliff Music Festival programme, featuring Tim Finn, Little Birdy, The Original Wailers, Marcia Hines, Djan Djan, The Badloves, Dan Sultan, The Veils, Whitley, and Bertie Blackman and many more talented performers, is available at www.qmf.net.au Tickets are available for one the Bellarine’s biggest weekends; online or at the event, with organisers reminding the community to support the iconic festival.

“We don’t want local people to take it for granted. We have a stunning line-up and we want people have to come and enjoy it,” Moss said.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the gate or online at www.qmf.net.au

MAYOR’S COLUMN Great turnout for Barwon Heads Collendina Recreation Reserve Skate Park launch redevelopment nearing completion There was a fantastic turnout for the recent Barwon Heads Skate Park launch. The weather was perfect for an evening of skating and live music. For the skaters, the highlight of the event was watching skate champ Renton Millar in action.

ANDREW KATOS available to meet residents: Saturday 28th November 2009 9.30 am Torquay ANZ Bank Cnr, Gilbert Street 11 am Barwon Heads Cnr Hitchcock Ave & Clifford St Authorised by S. Price, 3/7 Camdell Court, Belmont 3216

The facilities at Collendina Recreation Reserve are in the final stages of a major upgrade.

The clubrooms have undergone a significant transformation, and new change rooms have been installed for both home and away teams and umpires.

The works to the clubhouse have created an open plan area that incorporates a kitchen and an internal toilet for people with disabilities.

The redevelopment will provide great benefits for home teams Collendina Cricket Club and Ocean Grove/Collendina Junior Football Club.

The redevelopment, which has been funded by the City of Greater Geelong, has been managed by the club and included lots of volunteer labour.

New cross-coastal bus service

Soon people will be able to catch public transport between Ocean Grove and Torquay without detouring via Geelong.

We’ve been working with McHarry’s and the Department of Transport, and have come up with a new service that will be trialed this summer.

The service connects the Queenscliff Ferry with Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay, Jan Juc and links to the Lorne V/Line bus.

The trial will run from December 19 to January 31. For timetable information, go to www. mcharrys.com.au or phone 5223 2111.

Flood fears on Stockland

BY ALISON MARTIN GOVERNMENT documents predicting rising sea levels have sparked more calls for the proposed Stockland residential development at Point Lonsdale to be reconsidered.

Point Lonsdale Civic Association chair, Barney Orchard, said the release of reports warning of the flooding in the low-lying Point Lonsdale site should make Planning Minister Justin Madden rethink the planning application. “It all screams don’t go ahead given what we now know,� he said. “There have been some very recent significant reports by government departments involved with climate change and they are preaching caution and forecasting extreme risk in that area.�

The Stockland proposal for a 760-lot canal development has been approved by City of Greater Geelong and supported to date by the state government, but Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, only approved work on three stages and until water quality modeling and extensive monitoring are completed, no further approval is envisaged.

The application has now gone back to the state government for the final stamp of approval.

But the association believes Madden should take into account the recent climate change documents before making his decision.

Climate Change and Water Minister, Penny Wong, released the Climate Change Risks to Australia’s Coasts report this month, including mapping of residential buildings at risk from climate change.

Point Lonsdale is one of the coastal communities which is vulnerable to impacts, such as sea inundation and erosion. The report estimates that nationally, between 157,000 to 247,600 existing residential buildings will be at risk from sea inundation by 2100, under a sea-level rise scenario of 1.1 metres.

Supporting the federal document has been mapping by the Department of Sustainability and Environment detailing the impact of sea level changes of up to two metres on Point Lonsdale.

In addition, Orchard said the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority had prepared a report at the request of the Borough of Queenscliffe which stated the low lying areas of Point Lonsdale were at extreme risk of flooding, and that building on filled land, as proposed by Stockland, was unacceptable.

After years of protest against the size and the environmentally sensitive location of the development, Orchard said the “fears of the community� were now being realised by government authorities. “The time to do something about it is now, before anything is built and people put their money into homes. The authorities need to go back and get this right,� he said.

Point Richards boat ramp and jetty will be upgraded as part of a $1million project.

Ramp project under way WORK on the $1million, three-stage project to revamp the Point Richards boat ramp, west of Portarlington, has started.

Bellarine Bayside chief executive, Tim Page-Walker, said the first two stages, including a sheltering rock groyne and a dredged channel through the shallows into deep water, began last week and were expected to be completed before Christmas.

Stage three involves the construction of a new, fourlane concrete ramp and central jetty and will begin after the long weekend in March next year.

Page-Walker said the rock groyne would extend about 100 metres into the bay and rise about 1.5 metres above sea level, with a pathway along the top. “But its main purpose is to catch sand that moves east to west in the longshore current,� he said. “This will preserve the beach area in front of the car

has christma

park and sailing club and stop silting of the dredged channel. “The idea is to create a channel depth of minus 1.2 metres from the ramp out to that water depth in the bay.

This will cater for most trailers and recreational craft.�

The dredging is expected to begin with a few weeks, using cutter-suction dredging with all the spoil piped back to shore and used to build up the existing beach. “There will be no dumping of any dredged material at sea and any acidity will be treated with builders lime so that it presents no problems ashore,� Page-Walker said.

The boat ramp will be replaced with pre-fabricated sections installed on piles driven into the water’s edge to prevent any undercutting action by the tides.

The existing jetty will be retained on the western side of the ramp with a second and third lane added to enable boats to tie up on both sides.

THE BARWON Heads Community Arts Garden will host a discussion group this Sunday to encourage the development of a local sustainability network.

The group aims to encourage sustainable gardening, either at the community garden or at home, as well as community initiatives.

The group will explore ideas from other communities, including Drysdale’s produce swap meet and support for local residents who are interested in growing their own vegetables.

The community garden will be promoted to those interested in permaculture and there will

be a range of opportunities for local residents to become involved in Barwon Head’s sustainability.

BHCAG president, Faye Connors, said previous sustainability discussion groups had been well attended and welcomed new community members to attend this week’s meeting.

The community garden was established to provide health, social and educational benefits, while “enriching the urban environmental� and using under-utilised land.

For more information about the garden or sustainability group contact Faye Connors on 0417 518 685 or faye.connors@gmail.com

Iconic exhibition at Point Lonsdale

BY ALISON MARTIN LAST year, Point Lonsdale artist Deb Brearley thought the town would lose its iconic Moonah trees and she needed to start documenting them on canvas for future generations.

Twelve months later, Brearley’s collection of paintings, The Moonahs, are on exhibition in Point Lonsdale and the community has received the news that a majority of the native coastal trees will be saved.

A comprehensive assessment of the trees is Queenscliff’s and Point Lonsdale’s public parks – which include the towns’ seasonal camping grounds – resulted in the Borough of Queenscliffe’s tree management, removal and replacement strategy.

The strategy involves the removal of high risk cypress trees and some Moonahs, which began earlier this month, and the planting of more trees.

The consulting aborists looked at the health and public risk profiles of 86 old, large trees, including some cypress which had since lost limbs or fallen in strong winds and required immediate attention.

However, Brearley had fought to save the Moonahs, which were a different tree to the cypress and did not pose the same risk.

She said after a long battle, and the support of the borough, only one Moonah would be removed from Point Lonsdale’s Royal Park, which is a victory for the community and the environment.

Brearley’s The Moonahs exhibition will remain at Kelp, Point Lonsdale, until December 13.

Deb Brearley has painted Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff’s Moonahs, to document the iconic trees.

Dive site debate THE HMAS Canberra has been sunk but the political angst is on the rise, with the Victorian Artificial Reef Society now diving into the debate.

After last week’s revelation that state politicians had been for a free dive at the new shipwreck, which is still closed to the public for safety reasons, VARS has defended the state’s right to charge fees for the federal “gift�.

VARS spokesperson, Alan Beckhurst, said the project had been funded by the federal government, contributing $8.5million, and the state providing a further $1.5million, so “it was fair to expect it to perform for all Victorians�. “This did not mean free access to the local dive community, but a programme headed by Tourism Victoria to stimulate tourism on both the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas,� Beckhurst said, adding that Ocean Grove had already benefitted from visitors who watched the scuttling. “By focusing on the tourism angle, the wreck will contribute to the broader communities and validate the government investment, and this was the basis of the bid by Tourism Victoria.�

He also defended the government’s decision to allocate one diving operator two moorings based on a business estimate, although it has left the initiator of the HMAS Canberra project, Tom Wende, with a mooring to share with all other dive companies. “Operators to service the site were chosen by their ability to generate

business, and thereby tourism,� he said. “No surprise the largest operator, the Queenscliff-based Dive Victoria Group, was able to submit the best bid, and forecast it would take over 80 per cent of the divers to visit the wreck. “The rest of the operators combined, including Tom Wende, forecast just 20 per cent of the divers to visit the wreck, and none put forward a bid strong enough for Parks to justify sole access to the remaining buoy. “Parks has decided to give all the remaining operators, including Tom Wende, access to the remaining buoy via a booking system. “This allows all to participate in this tourism attraction, and for the smaller operators, a chance to grow their combined 20 per cent of visitors with their combined 33 per cent access to the buoys. “Private divers also have access to the fourth buoy on the site through a Parks booking system.�

Beckhurst also said VARS and other politicians had been heavily involved in securing the HMAS Canberra for Victoria and criticised federal Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Greg Hunt’s praise of Oz Dives’ operator, Wende, in last week’s Bellarine Times. “Tom was the first to start the ball rolling in getting the Bracks government to bid for the Canberra, but to suggest that he was solely responsible completely ignores the efforts of the Victorian Artificial Reef Society which was formed to lobby for the ship,� he said.

The long-anticipated dive site remains closed to the public.

Ban the bag meeting

A COMMUNITY meeting to discuss banning plastic bags in Drysdale will be held this week.

The meeting has been called to gauge public response from traders and shoppers to the “ban the bag� concept which has worked successfully in Anglesea and Aireys Inlet.

Barwon Region Waste Management Group has offered to assist with strategies for Drysdale to make the transition to a plastic bag free community, however, residents and

retailers must support the project for it to go ahead.

Anglesea and Aireys Inlet’s efforts to use re-usable or recyclable bags is stopping about 200,000 plastic bags a year from being used, reducing landfill and keeping the region tidier.

The meeting to discuss a ‘clean and tidy township’ is being held on Saturday, November 28 at 10.30am at the Clean Green Bellarine office at Gallop House, Drysdale.

Update from the DCSCA

Bellarine Instyle Curtains and Blinds manager Karen Singer stocks a wide range of quality blinds and curtains in the latest designs and styles.

DRYSDALE and Clifton Springs Community Association members met with Federal MP for Corio and Parliamentary Secretary for Innovation and Industry, Richard Marles, last week.

We discussed how local businesses can seize the opportunities of the coming ‘postcarbon’ economy by using new ‘clean’ technologies, saving energy in operations and advising customers how to do the same. ‘Shopping in our community’ will be the topic of a DCSCA public meeting on Wednesday, December 2, at 7pm at Springdale Neighbourhood House.

There will be speakers from Aldi, which wants to build a supermarket in town, and from the local farmers market group; and we are confident that local supermarket, Safeway, will be represented. DCSCA is especially interested in local traders’ views about the changing face of shopping in the town.

The DCSCA has also closely followed the Jetty Road residential development

planning process.

DCSCA president, Dou Carson, said generally, the Jetty Road development would be a “good thing� for the townships. “But there are sure to be some disagreements over detail, so we should be prepared for some factual debate,� he said. “And I see that the development is being described as part of Drysdale – is Clifton Springs missing out?�

Carson was also concerned about how the location of the temporary east-west road will be decided. “Whichever location is chosen, it must take into consideration the needs, wishes and safety of the Clifton Springs Primary School kids. The final choice must acknowledge the school’s position on the issue,� he said.

Community concerns over ‘redesign’ report FOOTPATH charges, new roads and other concerns with proposed Drysdale’s ‘redesign’ have been raised at the presentation of a Community Hubs and Active Transport Network final draft report.

City of Greater Geelong manager community development, Paul Jamieson, said the Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Hub and Active Transport Network draft report had been developed “following a great deal of consultation, which has taken place throughout the year�.

Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association secretary, Patrick Hughes, said DCSCA members attended the draft report launch and community interest had increased as the plan had progressed. “Several people approved of the proposals, but most of the comments and questions came from people who believed that the consultants had failed to address local concerns sufficiently,� he said. “The consultants propose creating two new roads, between Wyndham Street and Hancock Street, and between Palmerston Street and High Street. Several people were concerned about these roads’ effects on traffic flow and pedestrian safety and were unconvinced by assurances that these roads will be designed to slow down vehicles.

“The consultants also propose measures to encourage people to walk – not drive – to town and said that this would reduce demand for parking. There was much scepticism about whether this could be achieved without improved public transport, especially small ‘shuttle buses’ to reduce the lengthy gaps in present bus timetables. “Finally, many people opposed the council’s policy that individual households should contribute to the cost of new pavements outside their house. They argued that pavement, as part of normal urban infrastructure, should be paid for through rates and taxes, just like roads, and street lighting. “This policy was seen as especially inequitable if the council requires new roads and pavements to be built as a result of the consultants’ report, rather than as a response to local households’ requests.�

Jamieson thanked the community for their involvement and said the draft report would go to council early in the new year. “City officers will recommend that council places the draft report on public exhibition,� he said, which would allow for submissions from the community.

To view the draft report, contact Peta Burgoyne at CoGG on 5272 4618.

Calling all heroes

ARE YOU a former student of Clifton Springs Primary School who has succeeded in your chosen field or made a significant contribution to the community?

If you are, or know someone who is a past student that has succeeded and deserves recognition, then you can assist the Clifton Springs PS in creating a Hall of Heroes.

The hall has been launched by principal, Brent Richards, who has used the school’s 21st birthday to start the search for heroes.

Richards said the project would recognise the achievements of former students in a variety of fields, including sport, arts, business, community and academic.

He said the Hall of Heroes would include photographs and

profiles of the ex-students hanging in a section of the school for students and the community to see.

Richards said he had previously been principal at Teesedale Primary School, which had a similar recognition display, and it had inspired current and new students at the school.

He said the hall was designed to motivate students and would give those who aspired to be successful in one of the achievement areas, a role model, who had attended their school.

The school’s roll dates back to 1989, when it first opened for primary-aged children in the Clifton Springs area.

Past students and their families or friends who would like to make a nomination can contact the school on 5251 3581.

Clifton Springs PS Brent Richards is planning to create a Hall of Heroes at the school.

St Leonards school on the rise the school’s library.

The state-of-the-art design also has a range of energy efficient and sustainable features.

St Leonards PS principal, Natalie Jenkins, said the school community was extremely excited about the new school and students had taken a great interest in the demolition and construction.

The school has 15 Prep students enrolled for next year and students will look forward to the move from portable classrooms to the new learning centre.

Enrolment information is available by contacting the school on 5257 1460.

AFTER the careful demolition of the majority of the former St Leonards Primary School, the new $2million school building is now taking shape.

The frame of the open-plan learning centre is up and construction is expected to be completed during term one next year, with staff and students planning to move in during term two.

The new educational facilities will include classrooms, a multi-purpose area and administration space. The original red brick school building has been retained and will be restored to accommodate

St Leonards PS principal, Natalie Jenkins, and students, Rhiana and Jonty, have been watching the rapid construction process.

Mount Duneed Primary School students have been rewarded for saving their pocket money.

The school was presented with a 32-inch flat-screen television valued at more than $1,700 thanks to the Commonwealth Bank’s School Banking Up programme. The initiative encourages regular student saving behaviour by entering their school into the draw to win great prizes every time their school processes their student banking. Pictured at the presentation were (from left) Sue Hartnett (acting principal), students Maddie Davidson and Sally Huxtable and Michael Hastie (branch manager of Waurn Ponds Commonwealth Bank).

New Port playgroup PORTARLINGTON Primary School is hosting a new playgroup, to meet the increasing demand from young families in the town.

Charge scheme opposed Dear Editor, I have been a recipient of the letter posted to resident of Jan Juc regarding the imposition of a special charge to construct footpaths.

I am, to say the least, annoyed and irritated by yet another example of the dictatorial approach taken by the Surf Coast Shire Council.

The statements by the mayor in the press following the issuing of this statement of intent to levy yet more money from the pockets of the long-suffering resident of this shire is the final straw.

The Surf Coast Shire claims there is a demand for this footpath/bike track – from whom, may I ask?

How many residents actually replied to the survey that was posted and where in this survey was any mention of cost to residents?

I find it disconcerting that the Surf Coast Shire, in one fell swoop, is not only expecting us to foot the bill for this footpath which, by the way, should be paid for out of general rates, but also expect us to fork out increased amounts in our rates to fund a monument to their inability to rein in spending ie. the Civic Precinct.

Perhaps if the shire was to shed some of the highly paid minions that occupy the space in the current shire office we might then see the provision of useless services diminish and with it the need to

build the Surf Coast’s equivalent of the Taj Mahal I, for one, am going to do everything I can to stop this ridiculous impost on the community of Jan Juc. Anyone with me?

Jan Juc resident against footpath strategy

Welcome to the Great Ocean Road

Cliff Winkler Torquay

Dear Editor, The Surf Coast Shire must be delighted to finally see a concrete pre-fab under construction at the entrance to Torquay.

It’s taken a while, but now we finally have the start of the ugliest imaginable entrance to a major tourist town, and the iconic Great Ocean Road.

The industrial estate site is clearly inappropriate.

The first traffic lights people encounter at the entrance to Torquay are at the industrial estate.

No doubt the few flimsy attempts to grow a few bushes to block out the estate would not be in the interests of developers or businesses.

One can only now surmise that further down the track we will probably have ritzy flashing neon advertising signs on the highway and within the estate.

Once again, council has lacked the vision and logic in its planning, and has succumbed to developers (and slipped the process under the radar).

It’s quite incredible that so many councillors always stand under the ‘environmentally conscious’ and ‘green’ banners, but when the crunch is on have no credibility.

Welcome to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road!

Bob Wilson Jan Juc

to be stuck in the area if emergency calls were made?

As Torquay grows in a westerly direction, this congestion will worsen.

It’s well past time that Crutchfield got off his backside and made forward planning for this Years 9-12 school in a more suitable area, or else lay off any decision until the next election when David Koch and his government return to power with the $20million commitment in a far more suitable area.

Congestion woeful Dear Editor, What a great pity Michael Crutchfield, together with his Brumby Government ignores such thoughts as those of David Koch (Surf Coast Times November 17) as regards the woeful congestion in Grossmans Road prior to, and after, school.

I am sure that if Crutchfield had his home or office in Grossmans Road this great problem would not exist.

Would there be a huge outcry if any of the emergency services, such as the Country Fire Authority, ambulance service or State Emergency Service – all of which have depots in this area – were

Government support Dear Editor, This week’s move by the nation’s police chiefs to jointly tackle alcohol-related violence and antisocial behaviour is backed by our government in the ongoing battle to stamp out Australia’s boozefuelled culture.

In Victoria, we have taken huge steps to combat this issue to ensure families and friends can enjoy a night out without the threat of drunken fools or violence.

We moved fast to give police tougher powers to deal with troublemakers, strengthen liquor licensing laws, boost alcohol education programmes and provide resources to put record number of frontline police on the street – with another 120 on the way.

Already this year, the Safe Streets Taskforce has arrested over 4,000 drunks in the city on Friday and Saturday nights and visited over 23,000 licensed premises.

Our banning laws are also having an impact, with almost 2,000 troublemakers kicked out of entertainment precincts for 24 hours since we introduced new laws to clean up hot spots in December 2007.

The popular Championship Moves campaign – which encourages young men to help keep their mates out of trouble – is making a difference. And Victoria has a new Chief Police Commissioner who has said that tackling alcohol-related crime is at the top of his priority list.

On top of that, we are proposing new laws that will enable police to move people on if they fear a breach of peace.

Our government is playing a role, Victoria Police is playing a role and right across the community more and more people are uniting to demonstrate that booze-fuelled violence is simply not on.

Seniors on the internet

A BROADBAND for Seniors Internet Kiosk has been opened at Anglesea.

Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, was on hand to officially open the facility on November 13, with the president and committee of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Senior Citizens Club, together with the Lions Club of Anglesea.

Noel Hanson, president of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Senior Citizens Club, said the deployment of the Anglesea Seniors Kiosk would make available a range of services and Internet access to seniors that will help them “build their confidence in using the technology”.

“Learning to be connected as a means of accessing information and services in this technological age is very important, especially for the seniors in our community,” he said.

Under the federal government’s Broadband for Seniors initiative, NEC Australia will deliver approximately 2,000 internet kiosks across Australia over two and a half years.

Also available in the kiosk is information on neighbourhood housing, libraries, bowling clubs and associated community groups, as well as a host of other useful information to improve quality of life for older Australians.

Clifton Springs residents, Joyce Waixel and Moira Owens, meet with other knitters every week at Drysdale Senior Citizens Centre to make jumpers, rugs, scarves and even toys for those who need them.

Funeral Planning, a smart choice for those who have a lot more Life to Live.

Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service has provided families in and around the Geelong area with quality service since 1883 and continues to be committed to ensuring security and peace of mind when meeting financial pre-arrangement needs.

In her specialised role at Tuckers, Michele assists families with information on funerals and issues related to making arrangements for funerals. She believes that prearranging and pre-paying for your funeral are both an integral part of sensible retirement and estate planning, and is as essential as making a will. “It just makes good sense.” says Michele, “No one wants their family to worry, and it’s much easier to organise things when you are still well and healthy.”

The good news is that a pre-paid funeral ensures costs are fixed at today’s prices and that your expressed wishes are carried out, especially if your arrangements become part of your will.

Also pre-paid funerals are not means tested against pension entitlements and are safely invested with a fund manager to keep up with inflation rates. surfcoasttimes.com.au

Two options to consider; Prepaid Funerals • The funeral arrangement is purchased at today’s cost and remains fixed forever regardless of inflation and future price increases.

• The funeral plan protects pension entitlements and is exempt under both the Pension’s Asset and Income Test.

• Funds are invested securely with a Fund Manager in compliance with the Victorian Prepaid Funeral Legislation.

• A prepaid funeral will eliminate the financial commitment and difficult decisions often left with family members and/or executors.

• All funeral plans are tailored to individual needs and formally documented in a contract.

Funeral Bonds • Accumulate funds to help meet the future cost of a funeral.

• It is capital guaranteed by a Fund Manager • It can be paid by installments on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis to suit you, and can be automatically debited from a specific bank account.

Responsive approach and flexibility to all individual needs and circumstances have given Tuckers the opportunity to offer families funeral plan options that are within the realm of affordability.

Looking after yourself BEING a mum is hard work on your body – especially early on, as lots of time is spent sitting feeding, walking, carrying and lifting.

This places enormous strain on your body while the muscles are weak and recovering, you are fatigued from lack of sleep and the ligaments supporting your joints are lax due to hormones released during pregnancy.

To minimise and avoid excess strain on you body, which can lead to pain and injury, it is important to take care of yourself.

Here are some tips to help you: Balance rest and activity Listen to what your body tells you and rest when you need to. Daytime rest is essential for all new mums – so don’t feel guilty about taking a breaking and doing nothing.

Rest when you baby has their daytime naps.

Also, don’t be afraid to take help when offered, and also ask for help if needed.

If you do too much you will feel aches, pains, throbbing, heaviness, teary, tired or irritable.

Move well When you change or bath your baby, do it at the right height, your waist height.

Posture Feed your baby with relaxed shoulders. Sit in a comfortable chair that supports you in a good posture. Roll up a towel and place it

at your lower back.

Slings A good sling ensures you are carrying your baby with minimal strain on your body. A sling also avoids lifting the pram in and out of the car, and babies love being snuggled up close.

Reduce lifting Don’t lift anything or anybody heavier than your baby until you can brace your inner abdominals and pelvic floor strongly. Delegate tasks if you can, for example, get your partner/husband to bathe the baby.

1

Exercise Due to lots of sitting, carrying and bending activities, shoulders and the neck can become tight and lower back can get stiff and sore. The exercises, demonstrated in the pictures, are useful.

For more exercise ideas and safe return to exercise after having a baby, try our mother and baby outdoor training, it is suitable for all fitness levels and is a supportive environment run by a physiotherapist.

Times are 9.30am Fridays at Jan Juc Playground; 10am and 11am at South Geelong. For more information or to register for your free trial class, phone 5229 7963 or visit www.innerstrength. com.au

2. During tummy time with baby, lie on your tummy. Gently arch your back, propping up onto your forearms so your chest comes forward. Feel a gently stretch down the front of your body and it should feel good moving your spine back. As you improve try to straighten your elbows.

Port prize a boost for McRae THE STAYING in Portarlington initiative to establish the health and lifestyle needs of senior residents has received more than 200 responses to a community survey.

Survey participants were given the added incentive of a chance to win a $50 gift voucher from Portarlington businesses if they took the time to provide their views.

SIP group convener Monica Hayes said the competition had closed, with Bernice McRae drawn as the winner, but further responses were welcome.

She said permanent and part-time residents were all invited to have their say because often holiday home owners became retirees in the town. “It is important to strengthen neighbourhood networks so older residents were connected with local services, activities, events and support,�

Hayes said.

New faces appointed to BCH board

BELLARINE Community Health has appointed four new board members to vacancies left by retiring members.

New BCH board members are Von Philp, Mary Cameron, Suzanne Cooper and Hazel Ingram, replacing Monica Hayes, Evelyn Wuchatsch and Pat Bell, who has retired after 15 years.

The new members were officially appointed at last week’s BCH annual general meeting and will join current representatives Kevin Hughes, Elizabeth Thomas, Valentine Simpson, Ross Brown and Neville Greenhalgh.

BCH chief executive, John Fendyk, also presented recognition certificates to 30 community members who volunteer at the health organisation’s sites across the Bellarine.

He acknowledged the work of all volunteers, and paid tribute to Sue Winton, who had given 35 years service to BCH.

Warning on dangerous diving IN A BID to reduce injuries – and loss of life – Parks Victoria is urging the public not to jump or dive from piers and jetties as hotter weather draws increasing numbers of people to the Bellarine.

Parks Victoria chief ranger, Graeme Davis, said diving from piers was highly dangerous. “Especially on the bays, where varying tidal and sand movements constantly change the water depths and submerged debris can pose an unexpected hazard,� he said. “Every year a number of people are seriously injured

or sometimes die as a result of injuries caused by jumping from piers. “The safety of swimmers who continue to dive from piers despite the clear ‘no diving’ signage is of great concern to Parks Victoria. “Parents should be especially vigilant and ensure their children are aware that jumping off piers is not a safe way to enjoy the water. “The last thing anyone wants to hear is a story of a fun day by the bay resulting in a severe injury or even worse – loss of life.

“Not only is the practice of jumping or diving off piers hazardous to those engaged in the activity, it also puts at risk boat operators attempting to berth and disembark passengers. “Parks Victoria wants to encourage people to think carefully about their safety before choosing a location for swimming. There are safer places than piers to enter the water to swim and enjoy the beach.�

Hi, my name is Dr. George Klein (pictured). I am a dentist at the Sleep Health Clinic.

I used to snore. I would wake up feeling like I had not slept and felt tired throughout the day. Then one day I came across a dental sleep guard that was scientifically proven to stop snoring in 95% of cases and was comfortable to wear. This treatment has the endorsement of the Australasian Sleep Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

This dental sleep guard has changed my life. I no longer snore and wake with a zest for life which lasts all day. The dental sleep guard works by gently holding the lower jaw forward. This simply opens the airway thereby stopping snoring and allowing for more oxygen to rejuvenate the body during sleep.

Does this sound like you?

Do you or your partner sleep in separate rooms due to loud snoring?

Do you wake feeling sleep deprived and fatigued?

Do you feel sleepy during the day?

Has anyone heard you snort, gasp, or hold your breath during sleep Phone 5273 4644 (all hours) surfcoasttimes.com.au

Protect your income

BY DARRYN JACOBS, COASTLINE FINANCIAL GROUP PLANNER HAVE you insured your house, its contents and your car?

Most people do, so you’d think that it would be logical to insure where those possessions come from – you and your income.

It’s a clichÊ, but it’s true – people should expect the unexpected – and one of the best ways to prepare is to have some insurance.

If there’s an unwelcome intrusion into your life, whether it’s a burglary or something more devastating like death or a long-term illness, insurance can at least take care of the financial disruption, providing the money to help your family cope.

Many people are simply not prepared for the financial consequences that can follow unexpected events.

If, for example, a normal working couple with two children were suddenly reduced to one income, their household income could fall anywhere from $20,000 to $80,000 in the first year alone.

If either parent were to suffer a serious and long-term disability, this loss could be between $500,000 to $1.8million over 20 years.

Most people are so focused on earning their pay and building their wealth that they don’t take the next step to protect it.

In one year, the average family could lose around $40,000 in lost earnings after a disability.

However, with insurance, the same family can ride out the bad times without having to worry too much about how they will pay the bills.

Insurance can help Risk protection insurance can help you protect your family and your assets, including your business, if something unexpected did happen to you.

Everyone’s needs are different and it’s important to have a good risk protection strategy in place.

Protect your family There are several insurance options available to protect against the loss of income in the case of someone suffering a disability. The most common is income protection. Income protection can pay a monthly amount, kind of like a wage, if a person is injured or ill and cannot work.

Income protection payments can help maintain the household, meet the mortgage repayments and even pay some of the medical costs while someone recuperates before they go back to work.

Most people do have life insurance through their superannuation, which is a simple and cost effective way to buy this insurance, but often people still don’t have enough cover. Many superannuation funds provide life insurance cover of less than $100,000. But the AMP.NATSEM Report revealed the average Australian household has debts of around $100,000.

Protect your business You need to consider who would run your business if you couldn’t because you were ill or injured.

The bills would still need to be paid. By paying the expenses of your business while you’re ill or injured, business overheads insurance helps keep your business going while you recover.

Finding out if you have enough life insurance cover is relatively simple and is as easy as talking to us, we can assist you with working out your insurance needs based on your needs, objectives and financial situation.

GLOBAL stockmarkets remained largely unchanged last week, with the Australian S&P/ASX 200 down 0.4 per cent and the US Dow Jones index up 0.5 per cent.

The Japanese Nikkei bucked the trend, however, by falling nearly 3 per cent for the week. This came as Japan announced its economy is in deflation for the first time in three years.

In its monthly report on the economy, Japan’s Cabinet said: “Recent price developments show that the Japanese economy is in a mild deflationary phase�.

Gold continued its recent stellar run, closing up 2.8 per cent to US$1,146.8 an ounce. Other metals joined gold’s rise with silver up 6 per cent, aluminium and copper up 4 per cent, and lead and nickel up 3 per cent.

In Australia, a sectoral theme emerged with resource stocks performing well while financial stocks underperformed.

In the banking sector, ANZ Banking Group is rumoured to be considering a bid for AXA Asia Pacific Holdings.

ANZ shares slid 3.2 per cent to close at $21.75, while AXA shares rose one per cent to close at $5.82.

Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has had $9.5billion of its hybrid securities placed under review for a possible downgrade by Moody’s Investors Service.

The bank’s shares were down 2.9 per cent to $52.76.

Conversely, in the resource sector, mining giants BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto performed well, with BHP’s shares rising 2.6 per cent to close at $40.03 and Rio’s shares climbing 2.4 per cent to $71.22. Iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group rose 4.5 per cent to $4.22 on the back of optimistic comments from its CEO. Looking ahead, the US releases the much-anticipated preliminary gross domestic product figures for the September quarter this week.

FIRST HOUSES BUILT AFTER SALE Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 Three weeks after the sale, Mr Rudd built the first house. It was of iron construction. “Nobbyâ€? Smith (a Pommie) arrived by Jarvis the wood carrier about 2am on the top of a bare hill in a howling gale of wind and rain. We got Jarvis to help us up-end the iron fireplace and chimney leaving poor Smith and me sitting on two kitchen chairs feeling very disconsolate till l suggested that we go to the boarding house, which was kept by Mrs Follett near the present wine cafĂŠ.

Top bidding tips at an auction

WITH around 2,400 auctions scheduled in the next three weeks, it is timely to offer some tips about bidding.

Before the day of the auction, ensure you set a budget and have reviewed the Contract of Sale and vendor’s statement.

On the day of the auction, arrive early and make a final inspection of the property, re-check the Contract of Sale, vendor’s statement and auction rules, which should all be on display 30 minutes before the auction commences.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask the estate agent prior to the auction. Before an auction commences it is advisable to have a strategy, including knowing when you intend to commence bidding and at which price point.

Be sure to position yourself where you can see the auctioneer and where they can see and hear you. Make your bids clear by announcing them and raising your hand.

While most auctioneers will announce that the property has passed the reserve and is on the market, there is no requirement to do so; if you are unsure you should ask.

It is important to note that if the home is passed in below the reserve, the owner, through their estate agent, will first negotiate with the highest bidder for the purchase.

If you are not confident about bidding at auction you should consider using an REIV buyer’s agent, who can be engaged to assist with all aspects of the process, including the bidding.

A full list of REIV buyer’s agents can be found at www.reiv.com.au

South Wales, Victorian and Western Australian suburbs having higher price tags, while other states recorded a mixture of higher and lower priced stock.

Kusher said it is not surprising to find the best performing suburbs tended to be in our capital cities, where 29 of the 40 suburbs listed are within these markets.

The suburbs located outside of the capital city are generally situated in or close to larger regional markets, but there are some exceptions such as Gunnedah in NSW and the mining resource areas of Blackwater, Dysart and Moranbah in Queensland.

Over the 12 months to September 2009, weekly rents for houses nationally have increased by 3.4 per cent and units have witnessed a slightly greater rate of growth at 4.1 per cent.

Kusher said that compared to recent years, these results reflect a slower rate of growth. In most areas, rents have actually shown modest falls in recent months as value growth has returned to the market and rental growth has failed to keep pace.

He also said that first home buyer activity has eased some of the pressure on the rental market as renters became home owners.

The top five Victorian suburbs/towns for rental growth (houses) from October 2008 to October 2009 were: Toorak, Gisborne, Moorabbin, Beaumaris and Daylesford.

The top five Victorian suburbs/towns for rental growth (units) from October 2008 to October 2009 were: Wendouree, Niddrie (Moonee Valley), Moorabbin, Sandringham and Morwell.

HAYDEN’S HINTS

BY PATRICK HAYDEN

WHEN SHOULD I BUY AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY? OFTEN I get ask if this is the right time to buy an investment property.

In short, if you have done the research, can afford your investment property and have a long term plan, then it could be a good idea for you.

Yet the common questions echo about interest rate rises, the global financial crisis and is the market going up or down?

Well, let me explain to you why these issues needn’t be a huge concern. Even though we have just had the recent 0.25 per cent rate rise, we are still at historically low rates.

Compared to the days where rates were around 17.5 per cent, we have borrowing options today that make holding a property around the cheapest it has been for 20 years.

My second point is on the cost issue.

On average, property prices double every seven to 10 years, so your investment property is always going to be cheaper now.

You should also take into huge consideration that demand from renters is very high at the moment – there is higher demand for rental properties than there are properties being built.

Overall there is even better news; take the current mix of the increasing population (especially here in Torquay), interest rates, job security and demand from interstate and overseas investment markets – we are creating a perfect concoction for another property boom.

Do your research well and you could potentially be making one of the best investment decisions of your life.

Lighting and how you can help climate change THERE are some very basic steps that Blue Cove Homes incorporates into its designs that will help improve the environmental performance of your home, save energy and maintain comfort.

Today, a significant amount of our lighting in existing homes comes from downlights – in particular halogen downlights. Halogens are low voltage lighting, but this does not mean that they are efficient – in fact, they are the opposite.

Imagine a toaster in your roof – that’s exactly what a halogen is. Halogens create heat and as a by-

product create light.

Halogens can get up to 370 degrees Celsius and pose a significant fire risk, especially if there is insulation on top of them. Halogens are a common cause of household fires.

Lighting can contribute over 30 per cent to your electricity bill, especially if your house if full of halogens.

Simply replacing your halogens can reduce your electricity bill and reduce your carbon footprint.

There are energy efficient versions of halogens

Seabank Barwon Heads’ last remaining blocks are selling fast.

Secure yours today!

which means they last for longer (up to 50 times longer) and it means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard. LED lights are a relatively new technology and can help you save up to 90 per cent on your lighting cost.

Blue Cove Homes offers a custom design service but also have a range of ready to go homes ranging in size and prices.

For more information, phone 1300 858 228, email office@bluecovehomes.com.au or visit www.bluecovehomes.com.au

available. These alternatives fit straight into your current halogen fittings and they are easy to install.

The lower the wattage means the more efficient the halogen is and less heat it produces.

As part of our ongoing commitment to GreenSmart building practices, Blue Cove Homes has now moved towards LED lighting.

LED lighting are lights which use light emitting diodes (LEDs) which are extremely energy efficient and long lasting.

LED lights create less heat than traditional lights,

Santa comes early with Simonds SIMONDS Homes has teamed up with leading brand names to offer up to $33,000 worth of savings in a pre-Christmas special for new homebuyers.

Simonds prides itself on making the process of buying a family home as stress free and straightforward as possible.

“We are a housing and land specialist and we have done all the homework for our customers and can offer many fixed price house and land packages in great locations on land already selected across Victoria,” said Simonds state manager, Lionel Waddell.

“House and land packages can be quite flexible, and together with our online programme ‘Fusion’, customers can see all the options that can be added to a floorplan, then all they have to do is select the locality.”

Simonds’ Merry Early Christmas promotion is also a great bonus offer for new homebuyers, with one of four great gifts to select from.

“This is a fantastic Christmas offer as our customers can really choose the Christmas gift that suits them,” Waddell said.

First Home Buyers can also still take advantage of $29,500 worth of grants in regional areas, and Simonds can guarantee

a contract before the cut-off date if a deposit is made by November 30 (conditions apply).

“We employ 500 people in our Victorian operations and directly impact hundreds of tradespeople and suppliers.

“On every home project there would be up to 70 tradies involved in the build and when you’re building 1,500 homes a year for Victorian families it amounts to a huge commitment.”

For more than 60 years, Simonds has been building quality homes in Victoria. As times change and builders come and go, Simonds’ proud heritage of quality workmanship and innovative design has earned them the accolade of Australia’s most awarded builder.

“What truly sets Simonds apart is the commitment to our customers from our employees, contractors and supplies, which is reflected in our mission statement ‘We’re in it together’ – and that means the Simonds team is there throughout the homebuilding journey and continues through to servicing and maintenance,” Waddell said.

“That’s why I can confidently say to anybody looking to build, come and talk to us at Simonds because we are in it together.”

Enjoy the local advantage PETER Walters and Kelleigh Grist are local Hotondo Homes builders servicing Torquay and the Surf Coast.

As a Torquay resident who specialises in coastal designed homes, Walters understands the needs of the local area. He builds energy efficient homes by taking into account house orientation, ventilation, passive solar energy, and water saving fittings.

Customers can choose from more than 90 floorplans from smaller designs perfect for first home buyers through to spacious contemporary homes for families looking to upsize.

All homes are built to comply with a five-star energy rating and Walters and his team ensure each home is designed to be as energy efficient as possible.

Each Hotondo Homes design is flexible so clients can find a design they like and then modify it to suit their lifestyle and budget. Clients also receive a fixed price contract before the construction of their home gets under way so they won’t be surprised by any hidden extras.

Hotondo Homes is constantly adding to its design range and has recently included two new versions of the popular Beachview design.

This home is perfect for land with views as it has three outdoor areas and the main living space and kitchen are located upstairs so the views can be seen from inside.

Walters has been in the building industry for 25 years and has worked as a builder since 1994.

Walters and his team can offer customers competitive prices due to Hotondo Homes’ national buying power.

Hotondo Homes is able to receive reduced costs from suppliers due to its large purchasing power and these savings are passed on to the customer to minimise overheads and make their dream home more affordable.

For more information about building with Peter Walters and Kelleigh Grist call sales consultant Kelly Spencer on 5261 2866 or 0434 730 962. Or visit the Beachview 340 display at 1 Nautical Rise, Torquay.

Christmas has come early to Simonds, purchase any new home and you can choose from one of our four great gifts.

Queenscliff set to rock

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

THIS weekend’s Queenscliff Music Festival will unleash Gun Street Girls.

The band is the new project for Dallas Crane’s Dave Larkin. Speaking exclusively to the Surf Coast Times, Larkin said he met his fellow band members, Dave Butterworth and Callum John Barter, last year while playing guitar for The Double Agents in Europe.

“I was temping for another band and met the guys through that. So I decided I’d like to start a band with my new friends,” Larkin said.

The name Gun Street Girls came about when Larkin was going through his iPod. “We decided to think of a name by trawling through songs on our iPods and came across Gun Street Girls,” he said.

“I then wrote it down and liked it. A band name always has to look good when you write it down as well.”

QMF will be a first for Larkin, however, he will be one of the most seasoned festival performers on display, having performed at events like Falls Festival, The Big Day Out, Pyramid Rock and Meredith Music Festival.

“I’ve heard some amazing stuff about it so I’m looking forward to performing there,” he said.

The band recently had their single How I Roll featured on an episode of the second series of television show Underbelly: a tale of two cities.

“We were stoked. It was featured before the album was even out,” Larkin said.

He has even set up his own record label because he wanted to create a label that streamlined the production process.

“Record labels have become more management companies and I just wanted to keep it simple and see more of the money. All the other stuff seems

absurd,” he said.

Having been in the industry for well over 15 years, Larkin is passionate about music but says that he is concerned for its future in Australia.

“The talent pool in Australia is not as rich as it was,” he said.

“In my opinion, one of the main problems is that commercial radio is totally ignorant of, and

NOV.24

disregards, Australian music.

“They don’t support Australian artists well enough. There is so much mediocrity and vile being proliferated on mass.

“It’s high time we had something for just all these great unheard of Aussie bands. Something big like Countdown.

“The best gig a relatively unheard band can aim

for is something like the Footy Show. Lots of artists will go unheard of. It’s so sad.

“I get worried sometimes but then I hear, myself, some fantastic young bands coming through and hope they will be able to get past all that.”

Join the Yacht Club fun

Tuesday 24 November 2009

TORQUAY Hotel will be the place to be tonight when Yacht Club DJs hit the stage for a special Schoolies performance.

The duo have forged a place in the hearts of mash-up fanatics across Australia, and will play the Torquay Hotel as part of their current Kleptomania Tour.

The tour is their first national headline tour, and they are hoping to recruit a whole new band of sailors with their infectious performances.

The saviours of the mash-up genre were the surprise act at the national Parklife tour – media attention grew with each show, cameras eagerly poised to capture their crazy antics.

An explosive concoction of classic pop, metal, cartoon theme songs and everything in between sent the crowd into a frenzy. Meanwhile, onstage nudity, dancing on the decks, even crowd surfing in an inflatable boat created a lasting impression in the minds of those on hand.

The Yacht Club DJs formed in 2007 – starting off as humble resident DJs at Karova Lounge in their hometown of Ballarat before

GRAPEVINE

an unforgettable performance at Meredith Music Festival last year.

Since then, the pair has toured this yacht-loving country with everyone from Lady Gaga to Girl Talk, Friendly Fires, Dappled Cities and Does It Offend You Yeah!

Fantastic French fizz FRENCH sparkling wines come in many shapes, forms and price points.

Obviously, some are world famous, some are astronomically big bucks and then some are just good value.

What’s good for some, though, may not necessarily be the same for others. However, most of us love the fine, taut, complex flavours, the creamy, soft texture, and the long, thrillingly delicious finish that comes with a decent bottle of bubbly, or dare I say ‘Champagne’, which can make all the difference when enjoying a bottle or three. Cheaper styles rightly so have a place and can be quite cheery, but there are many good reasons to spend that little bit more to increase the enjoyment factor.

The French are all over it, of course, and while the more well known, more expensive Champagne labels command well-earned respect, there are now some excellent, less expensive French bottles appearing on the market that are well worth checking out. Try these on for size.

Louis Bouillot Cremant de Bourgogne Rose Perle d’Aurore NV ($30) I’ve mentioned this great little fizz before as it’s all the rage up in Melbourne and most importantly, I really like it! Founded in 1877 by Jean Bouillot, a wine and spirit merchant, Louis Bouillot specialised in making Crémant de Bourgogne in the Nuits-Saint-Georges region of Burgundy.

This is an excellent expression of sparkling Pinot Noir, in its ‘fruity’ dry maturity. Pale rose in colour, with fine bubbles and developing blackcurrant and strawberry fruity notes that are in no way ‘sweet’. These ‘fruity’ notes are well balanced on the finish with a firm acidity.

Grandin Classique Brut N.V. ($18) The Grandin range of Sparkling wines from the Loire Valley have been around since 1886 and offer exceptional value. A unique blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and the relatively unknown (in Australia) Ugni Blanc, it gives you distinctive Loire Valley elegance, richness and length of flavour on the finish.

Opera Sparkling Blanc de Blancs NV ($17) Touted as the third biggest selling bubbly in France, I loved this fantastically fresh, vivacious French fizz right from the very first sip! Fine, aromatic, rich and textured with lovely balance of fruit and crisp acidity giving a lovely creamy mouth-feel and persistence of flavour on the finish. This ain’t no ‘soap’ opera – it’s a classic!

Phoney food, fads, and feeding with one hand how did people manage their affairs without these?

So if I was about to launch a new food-fad product, one very important consideration would be that it must be something that can be eaten with one hand only.

Perhaps I could re-interpret the good old chicko roll, smarten it up a bit, make it from really healthy ingredients and re-launch it onto the market, taking on those multi-national burger chains at their own game.

I mean, you can’t possibly tackle a decent sized burger with only one hand. And if the mobile rings?

You see, just like that little boy devouring the lolly, people need to be able to eat and have a free hand to speak at the same time.

Another ingenious food item would be the Cornish pasty. These were the standard lunch-time fare carried to work by the 19th Century tin miners in Cornwall, England.

The sturdy pastry case enclosed the complete meal in a sense, because often they were filled at one end with a savoury filling of meat and vegetables, whilst the other end would have a sweetened apple filling. How ingenious!

MY ATTENTION was caught the other day by a little tacker who was carefully studying the hard ball of ‘toffee’ on a stick that he kept popping into his mouth, then removing it and carefully studying it.

Was he pondering just how many hours of sucking it would require to make the lolly disappear? Was he thinking back over other flavours of the same confection, and making a mental note as to which one he preferred?

Or was he pondering whether the downside of devouring too many of these sweets will surmount to problems later in life of an overly rounded palate or roof of the mouth? There’s bound to be some sort of kickback – just like RSI was the buzz-word of the late 1980s – there will be some sort of occupational hazard blamed on the current fad of our youth of today, who even into their mid-20s seem to be addicted to these particular sweets.

Thank goodness that the other ‘fashionable food’ accessory we see is the personal water bottle. People don’t go anywhere these days without their bottled water – a fad to be applauded. On the flipside, the other hand is usually clutching a mobile phone. Just

Preparation and cooking: Cut the sweet potato, carrot and pumpkin into fourcentimetre chunks and sprinkle over some olive oil, then a mix of Moroccan-style spices (the screaming seed Kashmiri Crush is great). Roast until just tender then allow to cool.

Transfer this filling to the fridge for school/work lunches, when you can just spread the naan/roti with some hummus, and fill with the spiced roasted vegetables, some finely sliced spanish onion and cucumber, and a few ‘dobs’ of yoghurt.

Roll the naan/roti/mountain bread and if taking on a picnic or using this as lunch, wrap it in greaseproof paper and then glad wrap.

Twist the parcel of paper/cling film at one end only, so that is easily opened and becomes the essential one-handed and healthy lunch.

A wall of pastry would separate the two and the pasty’s long traditional shape was designed to fit in a workman’s deep pocket. No glad wrap or foil to wrap food in those days, perhaps a precious sheet of brown paper‌ and even then I bet the thrifty housewife would insist on using the wrapper several times.

The Cornish pasty would need a workover to meet today’s more health conscious, perhaps with lighter pastry, or indeed a similar idea using roti wraps, mountain bread or naan bread.

So my thinking cap is on to invent the next ‘must-have’ handy food item that could be cleverly marketed as real, phone-y food.

How about we try this on the general public?

Catch the High Tide wave TORQUAY’S award-winning High Tide Festival has announced its Saturday night line-up, with local husband and wife duo Tiffany Eckhardt and Dave Steel headlining the evening.

The festival will be held over the weekend of December 3, 4 and 5, with a host of activities.

The Saturday night musical treat will be held at Cosy Corner, and will be the ideal opportunity to take a picnic to the waterfront or enjoy some of the fare on offer from the food stalls.

Echkardt and Steel (pictured) are well known around the region for their talents, and they will keep the crowd entertained with their performance.

This year’s festival follows the theme of Natural Balance, and apart from the music, there will be a full weekend of spectacular shows, movement and colour that will make this the best festival yet.

There will be original music, billy cart races, local food stalls, extraordinary circus skills, fire and water shows and fantastic play readings.

Opening night starts at 8pm on Friday, December 4, with a fantastic display of song and movement at the mouth of Spring Creek, which will celebrate ‘Natural Balance’.

The performance will signify the balance between the cycle of nature and the choices we make living here.

Saturday guarantees more great events held at a variety of venues throughout town. In addition to the two original stages, an additional stage in Gilbert Street and a garage band stage will be

C

introduced, celebrating and showcasing local talent and building on central Torquay’s great atmosphere.

Following Saturday night’s music extravaganza will be the must-see circus production, AQUA, including water and fire shows with music and Esperanto, set on the beach.

Sunday will be the Billy Cart Derby at Spring Creek Reserve, in which participants construct their own cart to race.

Viewers can watch the race while listening to

Feel the love of Victoriana Gaye

BY SARAH LAWRENCE VICTORIANA Gaye is the fresh and new sound from creative couple Vicki and Jeff Raglus.

They will playing this Friday night at The Red Till in Anglesea and The Forrest Guest House in Forrest on Saturday.

The couple have recently been performing regular gigs in Melbourne as well as travelling around Australia performing. “We have travelled to and played at some pretty far flung destinations – including Morioka in Japan and remote Kunnanurra at the top of Western Australia,� said Vicki. “We have just returned from The Natimuk Fringe Festival which was a blast.�

After 23 years of marriage, the couple create a passionate cocktail of creative music that is nothing like the usual mainstream sounds.

Jeff has a strong pedigree in the Australian music community, having been involved in various projects including The Feeling Groovies, Fogg, The Beachniks and The Bachelors From Prague.

Vicki has always been involved in the creative industry. She has a flair for drama and is well known for her puppet making skills as well as cabaret performances.

Victoriana Gaye, however, has only being playing together for the past two years. “We’ve been married 23 years and it’s fantastic finally playing with my husband.

We’ve been busy doing other things like having children and painting,� said Vicki “Jeff is very professional and a great teacher.

We have a really strong connection and a deep understanding of one another. Lots of people can see it when we play, and they comment on it.� “It’s a romantic thing to play together, we never thought we would be able to do this but

we have. Vicki’s songs, to me, are very cleverly worded,� added Jeff.

The couple recently returned from a trip to Japan. Jeff was playing with his band Fogg at the Saporo Jazz Festival and they travelled together afterwards. “We played in little bars, it wasn’t preorganised. We just walked into little bars, saw guitars and started playing with them and

arranged to come back to play,� said Jeff. “We got paid in saki and origami things.

Performing like that is a nice real level to be at,� added Vicki.

Victoriana Gaye will be playing at The Red Till in Anglesea on Friday from 6.30pm-9.30pm, and Saturday night at The Forrest Guest House in Forrest from 8pm with local musician Ian Roberts as support. Entry is free.

An adventure for all surfers HOW DO you surf the 50 states of the United States – especially when many are land-locked?

Find out today at 4pm when Torquay’s Surfworld Museum holds a special screening of the cult surf film, Surfing 50 States.

The film will be the first in a series of regular surf film screenings planned for Surfworld over summer.

The first screening of the film will coincide with the Good Times, Good Breaks school leavers’ celebrations to promote a drug and alcohol free event and a fun way to socialise.

Surfing 50 States tells the story of two young Aussie surfers, Jonno and Stefan, who set themselves the task of surfing all 50 states in the US. ‘As long as you are standing on a surfboard with some kind of momentum, you are surfing,’ they decided.

Travelling in a converted ice cream truck and surfing just about anything in their path is a recipe for great adventures and the film certainly delivers.

Doing this in all 50 states – 32 of which have no ocean – was going to be a challenge.

The meeting of the challenge with video camera in one hand and surfboard in the other makes for a rollicking ride.

On their way they ride some of the great surfing spots in the States as well as hitting the Great Lakes, the mountains, sand dunes, footpaths, tanks – and whatever else comes their way.

Surfing 50 States has been one of the most popular surf films of 2009.

Jonno and Stefan are currently shooting their followup movie, titled Somewhere Near Tapachula, which will be coming to Torquay in March 2010.

Tickets to the screening are $6 and can be purchased from Surfworld.

For more information or to book tickets, contact Surfworld on 5261 4604.

Weather no dampener TORRENTIAL rain didn’t dampen the spirits of competitors in Sunday’s Cotton On Foundation Run Geelong event.

More than 2,000 runners took part in the fivekilometre and 12-km events, with former Olympic stars Steve Moneghetti and Georgie Clarke among the field.

Moneghetti finished third in the 12km event while Clarke proved too strong in the women’s 5km race.

While the former Olympians help set a strong pace, for the majority of entrants it was about challenging themselves and also raising money for the Cotton On Foundation.

LONSDALE GOLF CLUB Well attended information session Refreshed by the overnight and morning good rain, Lonsdale members gathered in the clubhouse at 10am on Sunday, November 22 to be updated on what is happening around the place. Members were briefed on recent and current clubhouse related building activity, the financial performance over the last year, ongoing strategic planning, progress on the redevelopment project, the forthcoming Pro Am and changes to the handicapping and course rating systems.

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

BY CHRIS BARR

LAST Friday a bus load of members travelled to the RACV-owned Healesville Country Club. On arrival, we were provided with morning tea. Despite the extremely hot muggy conditions, most took to the course and played nine holes.

After golf a beautiful BBQ lunch was put on by the RACV. This was followed by a tour of the stunning new facilities. Based on what we saw, there is no doubt the Torquay members can expect a clubhouse of the highest quality.

Wednesday’s event was stroke with a CCR of 68. Eric Black 64 won div 1 from Dennis Abbey 65. In div 2 Greg Miller 65 beat Alan Roy on c/b. Div 3 winner was John McDonald 64 on c/b from Ray Frost. NTPs went to Peter Edwards and Jason Loftus with jackpots to Peter

doubling of the available floor area. Work is on schedule to allow use by the start of December and the club welcomes enquiries about functions for 100 or more persons.

working towards ensuring the completion of this process within the next twelve months, after which the practical development action can be initiated.

Pro Am preparations Work is advanced on the organisation of the Pro Am tournament at Lonsdale on Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Schweppes is the major sponsor and has secured the services of Craig Parry for the event. There is still scope for more hole sponsorships and interested parties should contact the club.

Midweek golf In last Tuesday’s women’s stableford competition, Pam Jelbart (20) led in the division 1 with 41 points from Jo Cordner (10) on 40 points. Bev Crane (31) won division 2 with 42 points, 2 better than Sandra Halls (23). Forty three points by Marg McLean (45) was the best in division 3 with the runner up Barbara Prussner (45) on 39 points.

Saturday action Saturday was a guest day 4BBB Stableford with play largely completed before that very welcome rain. In the men’s event Riley Siketa and Tristan Stephens won with 48 points from Chris Vakidis and Peter Nevin on 46.

Lynne Toleman and Pam Cameron combined in the women’s competition to win with 43 points on a count back from Marilyn Park and Di Clifton.

Men on Wednesday The feature of Wednesday’s comp was the 47 points by the relentless and resurgent Linton Bassett (17) to win division 2, 8 points clear of both Alan Cornell (22) and Don Rawson (18). In division 1, John Anderson (4) with 40 points won on

the winner, and in div 1 Inge Oliver had 43 points to win over Kerry Castleman.

Gwen Hand took the jackpot and NTPs went to Lisa Harris, Karen Grayling and Helen Bloink.

Yvonne Dean headed the Saturday Girls from Inge, with Cheryl Brunt, Heather Dixon and Marg Joyner taking the NTPs. I spotted the usually immaculately groomed Jenny Halloran looking a bit grubby and wet about the ankles on the course this week. I am told Jenny was concentrating so hard on her bunker shot on the first hole she missed seeing her buggy heading into the water. Jenny took a dive in after it and managed to rescue her buggy, bag and clubs but her pencils, tees, markers and sundries were last seen floating away. Not fazed, Jenny finished her round with soggy shoes, finishing near the top of her division.

Redevelopment project progresses Now that both the City of Greater Geelong and the Borough of Queenscliffe have endorsed the structure plan for Point Lonsdale, the statutory process for rezoning the land designated for residential subdivision is in train. The club’s redevelopment taskforce is Edwards and Trevor Doolan.

Last Friday Graeme Riches continued his hot run with the excellent score of 42 points. Greg Baeck was r/up with 41.

Saturday’s event was par played in ideal calm conditions. CCR was 68. There were no excuses. In div 1 Wes Bumpstead with +8 beat Greg Giampiccolo on 4. Div 2 winner was Andy Moore with +7 from Darren Bartlett 5. Darryl Hilton +2 took out div 3 from Don Stuchbury 1. In div 4 Frank Sykes +8 won from Roy Martin 3. NTPs went to Noel Jeffrey, Daniel O’Shannassy and Greg Libbis. John Mahoney, Danial O’Shannassy and Greg Libbis took out the jackpots.

Christmas party day: Sunday, December 6. The event is 4BBB Medley.

The day kicks off with a barbecue lunch at 11.30am followed by a shot gun start at 12.30pm. This is a popular event so get your names in early. Fee is

From the women’s room One of the nice things about playing for a trophy named after a former Torquay golfer is the chance we have to reminisce about that person over lunch.

This week we played the first round of the Mary Kane trophy that is stableford aggregate over two weeks. This is one of our favourite prizes named after Mary, a former long-time handicapper and a real character on the ladies committee.

The scoring was excellent this week.

In div 4 Sue Booth had 42 points to win from Sandi Kennedy. Div 3 saw Karen Grayling win with 43 points over Jill Chick with 42. In div2 a count back was needed to separate Chris Barr and Lindsay Dunstan on 39 with Lindsay

FROM THE

With Anglesea Bowling Club THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club open day held last month was a great success in every aspect.

The weather was perfect. The attendance was fantastic, with 26 women’s teams from both the Geelong and Bellarine Districts (as well as a team from Newport) displaying a high standard of bowling on the two synthetic greens.

The 104 bowlers enjoyed an excellent luncheon catered for by the members of the Anglesea Bowling Club. The variety of stalls including cakes, garden produce, jams, sweets, books, craft and gifts were well supported by the bowlers and the general public.

The proceeds from the day will go towards further improvements to the club facilities.

Chicken run After the chicken run and members’ draw on Friday, October 30, an excellent informative demonstration was given by two local ambulance officers on the subject of recognising the signs of stroke, and how to provide CPR. All members attending were appreciative of the refresher course provided.

Get ready for community bowls POINT Lonsdale Bowls Club will run its popular Community Bowls competition again on four successive Mondays, commencing from February 8 next year. All are welcome to be part of these fun evenings of bowls followed by a BBQ tea.

As in 2009, each team will comprise of three members (who need not be the same each week).

We have room for only 28 teams, so it is ‘first come, first served. Full details and entry forms are available from the club or Gerry Spencer (5258 1070) or Peter Fayers (5258 3093).

The next chicken run will be held on Friday, November 27 at 3pm. This is a great opportunity for limited members to come along and bowl with some of the experienced bowlers in a casual fun game. Remember to put your name down on the list by 2pm.

Pennants Both the women’s and men’s pennant teams are continuing the season with some successful results.

The ladders currently show that the Anglesea Bowling Club has five out of its six teams in the top four.

Social calling The next social event is a Four Corners Progressive Dinner at the Anglesea Bowling Club on Saturday, November 28.

Tickets available from Betty Darby and Dawn Newton, cost is $20 per head.

Yacht series starts INDENTED Head Yacht Club members competed at Portarlington last Sunday for the first heat of the 2009/10 Interclub challenge.

Race results were: Race 1: 1st Roger Kennett (Impulse) Daddys Boat (Portarlington SC); 2nd Tim Waller (Laser) Anarchy (Indented Head YC);3rd Courtney Dalton (Finn) Night Train (Indented Head YC). Race 2: 1st Roger Kennett (Impulse)Daddys Boat (Portarlington SC); 2nd Courtney Dalton (Finn) Night Train (Indented Head YC); 3rd Tim Waller (Laser) Anarchy (Indented Head YC).

TORQUAY CRICKET CLUB 20/20 V NTH GEELONG BAR OPEN

BELLARINE cyclist, Felicity Dales has joined high profile riders to raise awareness of safety issues and funds for the Amy Gillett Foundation.

A former elite tri-athelete, Dales has pushed her training to the limit to take part in the sixday, 830-kilometre epic ride from Canberra to Melbourne, which started this week.

Inspired by the life of Amy Gillett, the foundation was formed to reduce the incidence of death and injury caused by the interaction between cyclists and motorists.

“A metre matters, is the theme of Amy’s Ride.

That extra bit of distance between bikes and cars can make all the difference,” Dale said.

“Being part of driving this message home will help keep me motivated as I dig deep going up the mountains.”

Dales has also launched her limited edition book, Beyond the Yellow Jersey: a photographic celebration of cycling’s everyday heroes. The aim is to raise more than $10,000 for the foundation and

Tuesday 24 November 2009

fishing My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

BY GARRY KERR

Recently I was lucky enough to be part of the official launch of the new Surf Coast angling club catering for the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet townships.

The club held its first flare night and also its first fishing competition, with more than 70 people attended.

The Opposition Shadow Minister for Transport, Terry Mulder, was on hand to launch the club and wish it all the best for the future, along with local councillor, Jim Tutt, representing the Surf Coast shire.

Gary Schipper from Stormy Australia, presented the flare night, and kept the crowd entertained with some real life recollections of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and how important flare and personal flotation devices were during these races.

The night was perfect for the event, with adults and children all getting a chance to

fire off some flares and learn how to properly use them. Add to that a barbecue, raffles and giveaways for all the kids and in the end a great night was had by all.

But the evening was just the start; the following morning was a 6am start for those who entered the fishing competition. And for those fishing from boats, the ramp was busy with anglers launching early to ensure they were ready once the official start began.

Plenty of fishing was also taking place along the Anglesea River, where anglers took part in the bream part of the competition.

Fish caught on the day included snapper, gummy sharks, flathead, whiting, salmon and bream, as well as some squid.

Competitions winners were: Bream: Michael Tranys from Werribee Salmon: Bill Van Mechelen Aireys Inlet Snapper: Darrin Page Anglesea Gummy shark: Howard Jeffery Anglesea.
