BREAKTHROUGH The Bellarine is a step closer to hosting a pilot programme for electric vehicles, recharge stations and establishing associated industries on the peninsula

BY ALISON MARTIN IN A major triumph for the Bellarine, an agreement to explore options and opportunities for electric vehicles on the peninsula has been signed. A formal Letter of Intent between global electric vehicle infrastructure and services provider, Better Place Australia, and Committee for Bellarine’s sustainability project ‘Clean Green Bellarine’ has been entered in to, with huge potential for the region. Committee for Bellarine spokesperson, Tom O’Connor, said the Letter of Intent had secured the region’s position in the innovative race to establish a hub for electric car development. “The relationship between the Committee for Bellarine and Better Place Australia will enable investigation into the deployment of EV infrastructure in the region,” he said. “This is an incredibly exciting project for the Bellarine Peninsula to showcase our community’s dedication to a progressive, environmentallyconscious future. “But our vision goes way beyond cars; it extends to bikes, mobility scooters, golf carts and any other fuel-powered vehicle. “There are additional employment and investment opportunities for the Bellarine in a new, sustainable industry.” O’Connor said the Letter of Intent would ensure the electric vehicle initiative would be comprehensively investigated, including identifying key locations for the installation of recharge stations, such as supermarkets and other highly accessible sites. The Committee for Bellarine and Better Place Australia collaboration “reflects a mutual and aligned commitment to common environmental objectives and supports the transition to EVs and zero emissions driving”. Better Place Australia will provide the required information and advice regarding the electrical and telecommunications wiring requirements for the installation of EV charging infrastructure in the Bellarine region. “This is a breakthrough venture by a global company linking up with the Committee for Bellarine and Clean Green Bellarine programme,” O’Connor said.

“Actively sourcing renewable energy as an alternative to fossil fuel, which has a diminishing supply is essential for our future and this is an opportunity for the Bellarine to lead the way.” The Committee for Bellarine will lead the

localised push to create commercial opportunities and promote the EV concept to Bellarine communities. “We also have a major engineering company based on the Bellarine ready to retrofit existing

vehicles for electric conversions,” O’Connor said. The Committee for Bellarine has recently launched its new website and executive members can be contacted online at www.CommitteeForBellarine. com.au

BELLARINE NEWS Mosquito control programme

THE BOROUGH of Queenscliffe’s mosquito control programme has commenced for another season. Unfortunately no control programme will be able to completely eradicate mosquitoes and due to the recent heavy rains high numbers are expected in the coming months. It is therefore important to ensure your own personal protection by covering up with loose, light coloured clothing and regularly applying repellents. Some things you can do around your home include: • Empty or dispose of cans, bottles, tins, tyres and other containers that may hold water. • Put sand around the base of pot plants to absorb excess water. • Empty bird baths, pet water bowls and small water features regularly and replace with fresh water. • Empty tarpaulins covering boats and trailers after rain. • Clear out leaves and debris from guttering to prevent blockages.

Drysdale Headspace youth launch okay for Aldi BY ALISON MARTIN

BY ALISON MARTIN PLANNING Minister, Justin Madden, has given the final green light for Drysdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Aldi store and construction will start in early 2011. With rezoning approved and City of Greater Geelong instructed to issue permits, the new supermarket will be built in Murradoc Road and service Bellarine residents. Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association secretary, Patrick Hughes, said a public meeting held last year to discuss the proposal had indicated residents would welcome a new Aldi store in Drysdale. He said residents agreed the Aldi range would offer shoppers a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real alternative to Drysdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woolworths store, making the town a more attractive destination for shoppers on the north Bellarineâ&#x20AC;?. Hughes said it had been indentified that Aldiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival in Drysdale would place more pressure on the smaller, family-run shops that gave the town much of its character. However, he said while their share of the market was likely to drop, the size of the market would â&#x20AC;&#x153;increase

substantially as the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population continues to increaseâ&#x20AC;?. The Drysdale supermarket is one of three Aldi stores approved in the City of Greater Geelong last week by Madden. Member for Barwon South, Michael Crutchfield, said the new low-price retail outlet would be a significant addition to the economy through job creation and associated economic impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a significant win for local families who will now not only have greater product choice but will also see real price competition in the region,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And research undertaken by the ACCC into grocery retailing shows that when an Aldi is less than five kilometres away, grocery prices at Coles and Woolworths fall 0.8 per cent and 0.7 per cent respectively, which reduces the cost of living.â&#x20AC;? Details of the Drysdale permit, including conditions can be found online at www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/ planning/panels-and-committees2/ planning-scheme-amendmentpanel-and-advisory-committeereports#advisory

SUICIDE is a tragedy that occurs far too frequently in our community and this week you are urged to ask friends and family the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;are you OK?â&#x20AC;? Newspapers rarely report on suicide because of statistics and related concerns that publicity could encourage another person to do the same. However, it is a very real problem that organisations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Bellarine Community Health (BCH) and Barwon Bellarine Headspace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are trying to address through promoting awareness and acceptance of depression and mental illness. Thursday, October 7 is RUOK Day and the event will coincide with a special youth launch of the Barwon Bellarine Headspace facility at Drysdale. BCH youth community health nurse, Tanya Fitzpatrick, said the new Headspace facility had been formally opened by health organisations and workers, local, state and federal governments and other community members. However, she said the youth launch would provide an opportunity for young people to visit the health hub, located in Peninsula Drive next to the Potato Shed, and see the facilities it provided specifically for their health issues. The Headspace youth launch will include a barbecue, art projects, live music and activities, and will be held from 1pm to 5pm on October 7. It will be the second annual RUOK

Bellarine Community Health youth community health nurse, Tanya Fitzpatrick, is inviting young people from across the Bellarine to enjoy the entertainment and free barbecue at Barwon Bellarine Headspace.

Day, which is a national event of action that aims to prevent suicide and help depression by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones. Staying connected and ensuring your

colleagues, friends and loved ones do as well, is as simple as having regular meaningful conversations. For more information about RUOK Day and the Barwon Bellarine Headspace youth launch contact the Bellarineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Headspace team on 5251 5088.

Water for growth

INSIDE

THIS EDITION

BARWON Water is preparing for the Bellarineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population to double over the next four decades with ongoing improvements to infrastructure across the peninsula. Work has now started on a new water main to improve supply security for Indented Head and St Leonardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; communities. The 2.6-kilometre pipeline is being constructed along Grassy Point and Batman roads, at Indented Head. Barwon Water general manager for capital projects, Paul Northey, said the project was part of the ongoing capital works programme on the Bellarine Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growth predictions for the coastal area indicate a doubling in population over the next 40 years,â&#x20AC;? Northey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accordingly, we are planning to meet that growth through a number of significant infrastructure upgrades and improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project will provide increased capacity to meet future growth and cope with summer tourism influxes.â&#x20AC;? The new, larger diameter pipeline supplies water to Indented Head and St Leonards from storage basins at Drysdale. The $2.1million project, delivered by the Barwon Water Alliance, is expected to be completed in December.

Culture, cuisine, history CULTURE, cuisine and a large splice of local history will take centre stage at the annual St Leonards Festival planned for the Melbourne Cup weekend. The festival will be held in conjunction with the Bellarine Art Show and the St Leonards’ community is expecting visitors from across the peninsula – and the state! Festival organiser, Steve Walsh, said variety would be the essence of this year’s event, which is expected to continue to grow in popularity. “Food, music, street stalls with local produce, a family fishing tournament, a baby animal farm for the kids, a giant foreshore market, and a display of historic and classic cars are among the many features this year,” Walsh said. The main stage area will be adjacent the foreshore and overlook the bay to Mount Martha. Among those lending their musical talents to the occasion are five of the most popular bands on the peninsula. Headlining is St Leonard’s band the Fabulous Backbeat, a five-piece outfit featuring sax, keyboard and guitar. Other groups performing include Coldshot featuring Peter Campbell and local modern jazz exponents Steve Murphy and Wind-up-Duck. Another local favourite, The Red Apple Band, will also be playing. Many of the activities will be staged in the town centre, with a free shuttle bus taking festival crowds to the fifth annual Bellarine Art Show at the St Leonards Yacht Club on the Lower Bluff. The show was established by local artist, John Royle, to encourage fellow artists and to help promote the arts community across the Bellarine. Royle said the show attracted high quality entries in all mediums from artists on the Bellarine, Geelong and all across Victoria. “Last year 289 works of art were on display. The show also involves local schools to provide younger artists an opportunity to participate,” he said. “There are always great reasons to visit St Leonards, but the art show and the community festival makes the Melbourne Cup long weekend a real must.” The art show starts at 7.30pm on Friday, October 29 and will be officially opened by Member for Western Victoria, David Koch, at 8pm, followed by an award presentations. Entry to the Friday opening is $10 per head, with profits supporting the yacht club, and includes refreshments. Entry to the show on Saturday and Sunday, from 10.30am to 8pm, is $3 per head, with the yacht club serving light snacks and refreshments. The festival will be held on Saturday, October 30 and more information about St Leonards great weekend of entertainment will be featured in the Bellarine Times leading up to the festival.

A play space PRE-SCHOOLERS aged from birth to five-years-old are being invited to a special, free family fun activity in Queenscliff on Monday, October 25 to launch Children’s Week. Borough of Queenscliffe arts access officer, Leanne Stein, said Children’s Week, planned from October 23 to 30, was a national programme based on issues raised in the United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child, highlighting play, wellbeing and protection. She said the borough had secured a grant from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to fund the local

children’s celebration. The borough will host a Picnic at the Playspace on the Princess Park foreshore with families encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and join in the activities. There will be an animal farm with pets to pat, face painting, balloons, bubbles and playground adventures. Leanne said the Picnic at the Playspace would be a great opportunity for parents and young children to meet new people in their community and also make new friends. The Queenscliff Children’s Week event will be held from 11.30am to 1.30pm.

Queenscliff & Pt Lonsdale Monthly

Flaunting colours QUEENSCLIFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Seaview Gallery will showcase the latest works by artists, Sara Paxton and Carole Foster, in a joint exhibition titled Flaunting Colours this month. Both artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work exudes confident use of colour, strong brush strokes to achieve an energetic, impressionistic perspective. Paxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings are recognised for vibrancy and diversity, which range from seascapes and landscapes to flowers and still life. She works in oils and uses various techniques,

choosing to sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x153;build the colour and light with layers and washes to create a luminous, transparent effectâ&#x20AC;? or alternatively takes a palette knife or brush to build texture, shape and form. Inspired by the Bellarine, Paxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has a refreshing, lively quality with an exciting mood through the power of colour. Foster explores the dynamic rhythms and energy within the landscape she has encountered on her extensive travels. She is best known for her landscapes of the vast, arid Australian outback but

never limited to specific subject matter. Her work features layers of paint and colour used to imply a broad sweep of the geography of the landscape with details introduced through gestural strokes for tree trunks and daubs of swirling, rich paint for foliage. Flaunting Colours will be formally opened with both artists in attendance on Saturday, October 9, from 2pm to 4pm. The exhibition will remain open at Seaview Gallery from October 9 to 22.

Artist, Sara Paxton, and Seaview Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colleen Kenwood are looking forward to the opening of the Flaunting Colours exhibition next Sunday.

A film with real impact

MORE than 250 people have attended the 2010 Surf Coast Energy Group (SCEG) film season and this week presents your last opportunity of the season. Throughout the season, films have related to many climate change issues such as reducing plastic in the environment, sustainable fishing, rainforest rescue, food security and water conservation. Local initiatives such as the Plastic Bag Free Torquay campaign have evolved as a result of being inspired after a film night. “We are very proud of the SCEG film season as an awareness raising tool,” said SCEG executive member, Leo Renkin. Friday night’s movie, No Impact Man, will be screened at the Surfworld theatrette in Torquay. Apart from celebrating another successful season and seeing the movie, those attending will be treated to supper and music from the Sirens and the Sailor. SCEG is also inviting filmgoers to bring a photo of a ‘No Impact’ action they have taken at home. The aim is to collect 350 photos and postcards of ideas which will become part of a banner for 350. org day this Sunday, 10.10.10. 350.org day is an international day of action simultaneously happening in thousands of places across the globe to promote the concept of a safer 350 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere. We are currently at 390ppm. SCEG will be creating the 350 banner on Sunday at their new premises in Bellbrae ‘Heart Space’ (the old tennis club rooms on the Great Ocean Road). Everyone is welcome to come along for a photo alongside the completed 350 banner at 2pm. No Impact Man shows author, Colin Beavan, researching for his next book. He began the No Impact Project in November 2006. A newly self-

proclaimed environmentalist who could no long avoid pointing the finger at himself, he leaves behind his liberal complacency for a vow to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption… no problem. That is, until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two year-old daughter are dragged into the fray.

What began as one man’s environmental experiment quickly becomes an experiment in how much one woman is willing to sacrifice for her husband’s dreams. Laura Gabbert and Justin Schein’s film provides both a front row seat into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation, and a behind the scenes look at the marital challenges that result from Colin’s and Michelle’s radical lifestyle change.

AT A recent presentation night, Emily Pigdon and Naomi Edwards of the Drysdale Football-Netball Club were each presented Portarlington Drysdale Lions Youth Encouragement Awards by Ian Cook. The awards were provided by Lions, but are allocated by the sporting club to young players who are considered worthy of acknowledgment for their efforts. In a letter received from the sporting club, treasurer Rebecca Blair said the Lions Youth Encouragement Awards were a tremendous encouragement to dedicated young people who worked and trained hard for their netball team’s success. The Lions awards are available to North Bellarine junior sporting clubs and comprise of a framed certificate and a $50 voucher for sporting goods. For more information on the Lions club, phone publicity officer, Cam McLean, on 5259 1481.

Water safety featured in new DVD BY ELEANOR WOODS A JAN JUC surfboat expert has developed a training aid to help quell water dangers for surf craft and water users. Scott Tannahill, an award-winning surf life saver and esteemed coach, developed the surfboat training DVD which specifically aids ‘sweepers’; who have the precarious role of heading the surfboat. “Sweepers have a huge duty of care. They are the eyes and ears of the vessel and the team is ultimately in their hands,” he said. “They aim and steer the boat and manoeuvre it in and out of trouble. I have seen so many collisions over my time and I realised there aren’t really any resources to teach people about the requirements of being a sweeper.”

Using his coaching skills, the Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Club member and surfboat racer developed Surfboat Sweep Coaching with help from $20,000 of funding from Life Saving Victoria. “It is interview based with practical footage as well… a really good, practical guide,” he said. Tannahill, 48, has just wrapped up filming the educational DVD, in New South Wales, Queensland, New Zealand and closer to home in Lorne. “We filmed in several places, including New Zealand, which also faces the same situation when it comes to resources for sweepers as we do,” he said. Narrated by rugby union identity and rower Rod Macqueen, the DVD is in its final production stages.

Surfboat Sweep Coaching will be released in November – just in time for peak season. “It will be a fantastic resource. There is so much agro in the water – especially over the summer season and I have seen far too many close encounters,” Tannahill said. “Everyone using the surf has a responsibility to look out for themselves and others; especially with the increase in population and people using the water for swimming, surfing and other things. “The aims of the DVD are to increase awareness of the sport of surfboat racing, to educate both expert and novice sweeps and to promote a duty of care for water users.” Surfboat Sweep Coaching will be distributed throughout Surf Life Saving Clubs in Australia and New Zealand and will be made readily available for other interested parties.

Birregurra is set to celebrate MASTERCHEF finalists Chris Badenoch and Julia Jenkins have been confirmed to headline the Gourmet Food and Wine precinct at this weekend’s Birregurra Festival and Art Show. The festival is one of Victoria’s most popular regional events with more than 20,000 visitors attending over the course of the weekend last year. Badenoch and Jenkins will conduct cooking demonstrations in the popular precinct over the weekend, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday. With the region synonymous with wonderful locally grown produce including olives, cheeses, sour dough breads, seafood, chocolate, preserves, pork, beef and lamb and of course, wines and boutique beers, the food and wine area is always a favourite. The agricultural precinct will also returns after a successful debut in 2009, with all the latest in rural and farming technology, new machinery and products on display, the popular woodchop competition, snake handling and of course, the hugely popular racing pigs. The market stalls, street entertainment and vintage cars will be back in the Main Street precinct again this year, along with some fantastic live music. And of course, the wonderful art show is on again in the hall, with affordable works for anyone in the market for some beautiful pieces. The festival begins with the launch of the art show at 7.30pm on Friday, then continues across the weekend from 10am-5pm both days. Anyone with a talented dog of any size can also take part on the ever-popular dog jump event. The dog jump, held near the new skate park, has been a feature of the festival for many years, and is a real crowd pleaser. Competitors are separated into groups of small medium and large dogs and compete against others in their own category. In 2009, the winner, local Birregurra champion jumper ‘Red’ cleared more than seven feet (210 centimetres) to take the title. Entry to the weekend’s festivities is by gold coin donation only. For more information on what is happeninhg over the big three days of the festival, visit the website at www.birregurra.com/festival

Reiter throws out challenge LIBERAL Candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, has thrown out the challenge to Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, for a series of debates and public forums across the Bellarine. Pushing his ‘making the Bellarine count’ campaign, Reiter believes with the Federal election decided it is time to focus on state issues impacting on the peninsula communities. “I want to put it out there clearly that I will not shrink from debating Ms Neville on any topic at anytime,” he said. “I will adjust my campaign schedule to accommodate public debate if required.” Reiter has made the call after receiving a positive response to previous ‘town hall’ forums he had called earlier this year to gauge support for the Bellarine Ferry Portarlington and support for Bellarine Bayside. “In line with my commitment previously made to hold un-staged public meetings every month if elected, I again challenge Ms Neville to take on this initiative and provide greater access to her as the incumbent Member for Bellarine,” he said. “She should not be afraid to allocate some of these remaining days of the campaign to meet with community groups and to debate me in public and on local radio. “I will continue to meet with anyone and everyone I can to get my message across and to make the Bellarine a marginal seat. This is the key to ensuring the Bellarine will get the attention it deserves in the future.”

Local focus for national ad SOME of the most scenic Bellarine and Surf Coast spots on land and under water are featuring in a new television advertisement. The Victorian National Parks Association launched the new advertisement, which began screening across the state last week. Point Impossible, near Torquay, is featured in all of the land-based filming, while different species, such as the seadragon, blue devilfish and old wives fish were filmed in the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park around the Bellarine. A giant cuttlefish which also appears in the advertisement was filmed off Point Addis near Torquay, in the Point Addis Marine National Park. The ad is part of a new campaign to raise awareness about the unique values of our marine environment and some of the threats facing the state’s marine and coastal areas. VNPA marine and coastal project officer, Simon Branigan, said the ad would help open many people’s eyes to the wonders of Victoria’s underwater world. “The seas and shores around Victoria hide many natural treasures, we hope this ad will encourage people to find out how amazing yet vulnerable these areas are,” he said. “In fact, over 90 per cent of plants and animals in Australia’s southern waters are found nowhere else in the world. “The underwater world is often hard to access, so we hope this campaign sparks some curiosity in people to learn more and get involved.” The awareness campaign follows the release of a scientific review of Victoria’s marine environment, commissioned by the VNPA, which demonstrated the urgent need for further research and initiatives to better protect Victoria’s marine environment.

“It has been 17 years since Victoria’s last and only comprehensive state-wide study of the marine environment, and eight years since Victoria’s last major marine protection initiative,” Branigan said. “Victoria needs a comprehensive, sciencebased inquiry on our marine habitats, values and threats to fill the many gaps in our current

knowledge. “The inquiry, which could be conducted by the independent Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) or a similar, qualified body, should also consider opportunities for new protection initiatives and consult with the community and relevant stakeholders.”

Helping to make the transition BELLARINE parents are reminded they can assist transition between kindergarten and primary school by taking part in a Department of Education and Early Childhood Development initiative called Transition: A Positive Start to School. This initiative which is being lead in the North Bellarine Early Years Network by Drysdale PreSchool and Clifton Springs Primary School in co-operation with the Geelong Kindergarten Association, will be open to all primary schools and pre-schools. The initiative is focused on exploring â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;promising

practicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which enhance the Kinder-Primary School transition process. At the initial action research meeting attended by Drysdale Pre-School director, Judith Robertson, Clifton Springs Primary School transition coordinator, Andrea Carlton, and Geelong Kinder Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Janet Park, a focus on investigating anxiety was selected. To investigate what anxieties parents and children may have, a focus question â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are the anxieties for you and your child when they begin school?â&#x20AC;?, was chosen.

Judith Robertson and Clifton Springs PS principal, Brent Richards, said the key to the programme was identifying the anxieties that parents had with the Kinder-school transition process and using the information that parents provide, to develop means, methods and processes to minimise these anxieties and make the transition process as smooth as possible. He said a video would be developed for parents, teachers and children based on the input from families, kindergartens and schools across the Northern Bellarine.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening at local schools? Open day

GEELONG Lutheran College is welcoming families to attend an open day on Saturday, October 9, from 10am-1pm. Expansion of the new purpose-built facilities has been possible earlier than initially planned when the Christian school opened in 2009, which has provided for vacancies across all year levels from Prep to Year 9 in 2011. For more information about, about the college, located in Burvilles Road, Mount Dunned, phone 5264 1038.

Port’s poor entrance Dear Editor, The summer holiday season is just around the corner and thousands of visitors will once again arrive at Portarlington, many for the first time. On entry to the main street they will be again greeted by the hideous remains of the former BP service station which, after five years (or is it longer?), still remains a virtual bomb site. But now, added to this glorious entry vista, is an overgrown building site surrounded by a ‘temporary’ industrial fence almost opposite the old garage site. To add to this visual delight just 200 metres further into the town we now have what appears to be a permanent industrial truck parking depot. It seems part of the local shopping precinct has been taken over as a permanent home base for construction vehicles. No doubt these sites will be redeveloped in the future, but they are on the main entry to our town and there is no excuse for this latest assault upon the ambience of this once attractive seaside entry. Surely the local community association should be taking action about these matters instead of being critical of local residents who are vocal on land developments and issues that they consider will harm the future of Portarlington. The streetscape and town square development has now commenced and it is hoped this may encourage those with neglected and untidy properties waiting development to gain a sense of pride and carry out the necessary maintenance regularly.

Dear Editor, I read with interest the article in the local media on September 24 outlining a proposed motorsports hub at Avalon Airport, possibly covering 120 hectares and catering to multiple motorsports. If this proposal goes ahead, wouldn’t it be a victory for common sense if the motocross track at Barrabool’s McAdam Park relocated there too? This development has been mired in controversy. It is clearly located inappropriately in the farming community at Barrabool Hills where its excessive noise, dust, litter and environmental impacts create an intolerable burden for local residents. The site itself is plagued with problems and work

neeeds to be done to bring this site to internationally accepted standards for a motocross facility. Here is a real possibility to site McAdam Park in a true regional centre where significant public infrastructure costs could be properly shared between multiple sporting groups and where the impact on the local community would be minimised. Let’s not miss this golden opportunity to move McAdam Park. Lyn George Barrabool

What about Apollo Bay? Dear Editor, I’m so tired of hearing there’s only 1,000 people in Apollo Bay, so just drive over an hour to Colac or Lavers Hill. When I had a hip operation in August I went to New South Wales. The hospital provided hydrotherapy but I had to abandon that when I returned. Apollo Bay’s pool in the leisure centre is a disaster. We need a heated pool, and not a huge one – the sea is fine for workouts. We need footpaths. Walking decreases car use for every toothbrush or cup of coffee. Less car use contributes to a smaller carbon footprint. Our library in Colac is moving to a school. Does that mean it’s going to be as inaccessible as our leisure centre? Apollo Bay appears to be an affluent, touristdriven town. But it is generous people working for our few essential services like the youth club. We don’t pay half rates but council offices are only open half the day. Sub-divisions constantly create more rate-paying units and even the invisible ratepayers living outside the shire have rights. We have a lot to be angry about. Colac Otway Shire could get real and look after all its ratepayers, not just those with vested interests in Colac. Yvonne Francis Apollo Bay

Well done Garry Kerr Dear Editor, Congratulations to Garry Kerr for following up on the Anglesea fish kill. He is right to be concerned about this issue, which is not new to Anglesea, and will certainly happen

again unless some remedial action is taken. The EPA has stated that acid sulphate degredation in the Anglesea River is a natural process due to the oxidization of such soils leading to sulphuric acid run off after rain. However, these soils are rarely on the surface and are of a sub-soil nature. They are exposed by extensive clearing and excavation. This process in the Anglesea area upstream from the river needs to be identified and analysed. The CSIRO has found widely spread coastal and estuarine acid sulphate soil in the Geelong area, some of which have been identified at Pt Richards near Portarlington, as well as at Avalon. Currently, in the Anglesea River, it would not be advisable for children or pets to use, or canoeists, for that matter, until the actual source of the problem is found and remedial action taken. Acid sulphate soils should never be disturbed and it is most unfortunate that this seems to have been the case in such a beautiful area. Gillian Walker Portarlington

Second fish kill Dear Editor, I wish to advise that on Saturday the Anglesea River incurred a second serious fish kill. The Anglesea River is acknowledged from an ecological point of view as being one of the premium bream nursery areas along the west coast of Victoria. It also contains a diverse range of fish species, which are vitally important to the overall health of the system and the ecosystem in general. The majority of fish that died in the first fish kill last month were of the smaller species, whereas the subsequent kill has resulted in fish of the predator species now dying. Not only has this the potential to be an environmental disaster, it is also impacting on tourism in the township and causing immense concern among locals and holidaymakers. With the summer holidays approaching, the ongoing fallout from this could be substantial – not only for the river’s health – but for the township in general. Action is required now.

at the neighbourhood house,” Hislop said. “The social night for men was one of things identified by the community that they wanted in Portarlington; the programme is in direct response to the information provided by the men and we will continue to develop other ideas in 2011.” Bookings for the dart and pool night on Wednesday nights are essential and interest can be registered by contacting the PNH on 5259 2290. Young families are welcome to come along to the music and movement sessions on Wednesday mornings or contact the neighbourhood house for more details.

PORTARLINGTON Neighbourhood House is celebrating the start of its term four programme, including a new men’s social night and a family music and movement morning. PNH co-ordinator, Julie Hislop, said she had been concerned the music and movement programme for pre-schoolers and parents would be cancelled this term because they did not have anyone to lead the group. However she said an article in last week’s Bellarine Times had received an immediate response, with piano teacher, Denise Faulkner,

answering the call for a volunteer with a musical background. “Denise has some great ideas and is planning a new music and movement programme with a different theme each week,” Hislop said. “The classes for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and their parents will start again tomorrow and be held every Wednesday at 9.30am.” The neighbourhood house also has a range of new classes for adults for term four, including a weekly dart and pool night, starting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 6, from 7pm to 9pm. “The dart and pool night is the first programme developed from the men’s information session held

Roy Johnson is looking forward to a social night for Portarlington’s male residents.

BY ALISON MARTIN PORTARLINGTON will entice shoppers for some extra-value retail therapy on Melbourne Cup this year. Portarlington’s first Melbourne Cup Day Sidewalk Sale Portarlington will be held on Tuesday, November 2 and all shops in the town centre are to take a selection of their range onto the street. Community groups are also invited to participate by setting up a stall or display on the footpath, adding to the village market atmosphere that will be created in Port. The sidewalk sale is a Portarlington Business Development Association (PBDA) initiative and has the support and approval of City of Greater Geelong. PBDA spokesperson, John Rae, said the fun, shopping promotion was the idea of Montana’s fashion boutique owner, Sandy Hillman, who had been organising and promoting the big sale day. He said the Melbourne Cup weekend was Portarlington’s first major weekend for visitors, starting the tourism season for the town after the winter. Rae said the Melbourne Cup Day Sidewalk Sale had provided a great opportunity to encourage people to stay in Port until the end of long weekend. More details of the sale will be published in the Bellarine Times closer to the sale date.

Big benefits BY ALISON MARTIN PORTARLINGTON Community Association is confident the benefits of Portarlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town square and Newcombe Street redevelopment will outweigh any temporary disruption. PCA president, John Turner, said the community association understood the concern expressed by some residents regarding the streetscape works currently being carried out in Portarlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street. However, he said the completion of the town square and rotunda would be a positive and significant improvement for the Portarlington community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current interruptions will be relatively short and the completion of stage one of the streetscape plan will enhance Portarlington,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. He said the streetscape works had also been expanded to include the installation of a pedestrian crossing with flashing lights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will ensure a much safer option for pedestrians crossing Newcombe Street, which continues to become busier, particularly in holiday season,â&#x20AC;? he said. The PCA also acknowledged the City of Greater Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level of communication and response to issues raised regarding the

Ann Nichol House residents Lorna and Kevin Wagstaff dressed for the occasion at the Portarlington aged care facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Fair.

streetscape project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weekly communication of these works by council to traders and community groups is excellent,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. He said an example was the condition of the parking bays in Newcombe Street, which were indistinct due to faded lines, leading to sporadic and potentially dangerous parking arrangements. Turner said he contacted CoGG councillor, John Doull and CoGG

maintenance officer, Colin Vagg, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;response was immediate with an inspection carried out and work completedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parking bays are now clearly defined removing the confusion of which lines apply,â&#x20AC;? he said. Turner said he was looking forward to the completed streetscape works and other community projects planned for Portarlington.

Fun of the fair

LADY Ann and Lord Nichol, aka Lorna and Kevin Wagstaff, were dressed to impress as they greeted visitors to Portarlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ann Nichol House Country Fair. They were among a number of residents who dressed in period clothing to share the spirit of the Country Fair and create a fun atmosphere on the day. The Bellarine Community Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ann Nichol House hosts popular social and community events during the year to promote links with the wider community and raise significant funds for new equipment and projects at the aged care facility. Many local businesses and staff members from Ann Nichol House donated items for last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Fair auction and a total of $1,800 was raised.

Dress up for Frocktober BY GAIL CHRISFIELD SURF Coast and Bellarine locals – women and men alike – are being encouraged to celebrate Frocktober, in place of October, to help raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. This year’s event was officially launched in Geelong last Friday, where ‘frocked up’ guests were treated to performances from some of Surf Coast’s finest musicians, including Tess Guthrie, The Sirens and the Sailor, and Selling Laney. “Frocktober is all about increasing public awareness of ovarian cancer, which claims one Australian woman every 10 hours,” said Frocktober president, Lisa Mounsey. Now in its fourth year, Frocktober challenges girls, women and interested men to don a frock – for a day, a week, fortnight or the whole month – and to get sponsored for it. Participants are also encouraged to come up with other inventive ways of celebrating the frock in all its glory. “In previous years, we’ve seen people raising funds by wearing or selling a different dress every day, creating their own frocks or sourcing them through creative measures,” Mounsey said. “And, believe it or not, it is usually our male participants who raise the most money individually.” Torquay local and Frocktober vice-president,

Kathryn Kelly, has seen Frocktober go from strength to strength since a group of friends organised the first event in 2007. “We went to the pub, passed the hat around and raised $200. Last year, $35,000 was raised while this year sees activities all around Australia and

even enquiries from overseas,” Kelly said. “I hope the Surf Coast and Bellarine communities will help put the spotlight on ovarian cancer by joining us in ‘frocking up’ this month.” For more information and to register, visit the Frocktober website, www.frocktober.org

Win $25,000 of home furnishings By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Time for stamp duty cuts TO ENSURE home buyers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay more than their fair share of tax, the REIV has requested that all political parties contesting the November State Election adopt a policy to reduce stamp duty rates. In response to strongly growing property prices, the current government cut rates four years ago and the time has come to do it again. A review of stamp duty bills on a medianpriced house in Melbourne shows that home buyers face a higher stamp duty bill compared to one or two decades ago. Over this time, the government did not make a decision to increase its tax take; soaring revenues are due to bracket creep and inaction. The very recent Financial Report for the State of Victoria 2009-10 confirms this, as it showed that the income from stamp duty exceeded the budgeted amount by $408million, largely as a result of a strong market and increased property prices. When the current government was elected, the stamp duty bill on a median-priced house was equivalent to 4.08 per cent of the purchase price; it is now 5.12 per cent. To todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buyer that is the equivalent of $5,803 in extra tax. Until such time as the State Government is successful in having stamp duty abolished and replaced with a more progressive, federally based tax, action should be taken to ensure that as property prices increase the level of stamp duty does not. The REIV has asked that the rate of stamp duty be cut to around four per cent for a median house and that, in future, rates are indexed so that the government does not unnecessarily profit from increased prices and reduced affordability in the housing market.

or see all our energy efficiency and sustainability advice, by visiting www.firstnational.com.au/ energyefficient.â&#x20AC;? The website, booklets and brochures help people choose, and better use, more efficient appliances, solve design problems in older homes, and create more sustainable Australian native gardens.

Builders enjoy a night out

Award-winning Torquay designer, Mark Gleeson, enjoyed the evening.

BRAX Window Treatments recently held a product information evening and new product launch at their Newtown showroom. Invited guests included builders and architects from across the region, many of whom participated in a Boutique Beer Tasting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provided by Randall the Wine Merchant. Information sessions on new products available from Crimsafe, Luxaflex and Somfy, were presented by representatives from each of these companies. Sean Davies, from Somfy Australia, introduced the i700 Touch Panel Controller â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a simple to use touch screen, designed to automatically control blinds, curtains, awnings and more. The i700 system is a home automation system, using RTS controllers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning no complex wiring is required. Derek Tidey, Crimsafe National Sales Manager, outlined the differences between Crimsafe and competitor products, as well as introducing the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ultimateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Crimsafe Door. Luxaflex Victorian Sales Manager, Adi Dahan, discussed insulation benefits of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Duette Architellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which is now also available in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lite Riseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cordless, manually operated child safe operating system.

angleseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest hidden secret

2 bronwyn court, anglesea Whether it is the 5 star architecture, the expansive ocean views, the exclusive location or the immaculate presentation, you cannot help but be overwhelmed when you first view this magnificent property. The most intriguing thing is that the more time you spend there, the more detail you see and appreciate what a stunning piece of architecture this property is. Designed by Daryl Le Grew, ex Professor of Architecture at Deakin University, the 3 BR residence is located in an elevated position, in a court that only has 3 properties in it. The architect has optimized the panoramic view to capture both the ocean and the sky, and has allowed an abundance of natural light to infiltrate every room. The 4 sundecks allow you to have somewhere to sit at different times of the day, and the flow through ventilation captures the

range $2m - $2.2m afternoon sea breezes in summer - everything has been considered. The residence has a commercial grade construction with no expense spared when it was built and it is still in as new condition. The high quality garden has been previously included in the ABC Open Garden Program but as there is no lawn, it is relatively low maintenance now that it is established. It is difficult to do justice to this stunning property in such few words however, if you are looking in this price range and have an appreciation for the skill of a world class architect, then this property is a must see.

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

Stunning family homes

HOME buyers in Geelong and the Surf Coast looking for the latest in modern, spacious family homes now have the very latest designs showcased locally with the opening of three displays from leading, local family-owned builder Dennis Family Homes. Now open for inspection are a four bedroom Brookdale 271 Resort and a stunning four bedroom, three living plus alfresco Charlton 331 Esplanade which are both part of the popular Generations Series. Also on display from the Aspirations Series is the Harvard 271 Estate which features four bedrooms and an alfresco. Phil Shaw, Dennis Family Homes Geelong Area Manager, says the homes offer families the best in modern, open-plan living, but with multiple living areas so they can enjoy a little more privacy. “At the heart of all of these homes is a stylish, yet practical design which provides the perfect combination of large open living spaces and private retreats, all topped-off with unbeatable construction quality,” he said. The Brookdale is a popular design which really appeals to growing families. A highlight is the positioning of the four bedrooms away from the main living space for extra privacy.

For greater flexibility, the Brookdale also includes a study which is just perfect for a home office or if you have teenagers. A family favourite, the Charlton is a very spacious home. Central to the design is a large open plan kitchen, meals and living area which is ideal for family gatherings. This is balanced with ample separate living spaces so people can spread-out and enjoy their own activities. A highlight of the Charlton is the addition of a stunning alfresco adjoining the main living space. “The stylish design of both these homes is matched by the long list of modern finishing touches offered as standard. Stone benchtops in the kitchen, ensuite and bathroom, a glass spashback and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, designer vanities in the bathroom and ensuite and a physical barrier termite treatment are some of the features included in the standard price of each Generations Series home,” said Shaw.

Part of the great-value Aspirations Series, the Harvard has been designed to suit the needs of families. A design highlight is the generous amount of storage space with two walk-in robes in the master bedroom and built-in cupboards in each of the other three bedrooms. In the kitchen there is also an over-sized pantry. “Another feature of the Harvard 271 which will really appeal to large families, or home buyers who love to entertain, is the alfresco which is directly accessed from the main kitchen, meals and living area,” Shaw said. The Brookdale 271 Resort, Charlton 331 Esplanade and Harvard 271 Estate are on display in East Lakes Boulevard, Grand Lakes Estate, Lara (Mel ref: 422 H7). Displays are open weekdays 1-5pm and weekends 12-5pm. For more information about Dennis Family Homes call 1800 DENNIS, 5448 5158 or visit www.dennisfamily. com.au

Queenscliff heats up QUEENSCLIFF will host an all-ages concert featuring The Vasco Era, Paul Greene and Surf Coast outfit, Ghost Mutt, next week. The concert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be held at the Uniting Church Hall in Hesse Street on Saturday, October 16 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be an alcohol, smoke and drug free event for everyone. The evening, which runs from 5pm-10pm, is presented by the Queenscliff Music Festival, the Borough of Queenscliffe and FReeZa. The all-ages concert has continued to grow in stature over recent years and organisers are expecting a huge crowd to attend this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. In previous years, the gig has played host to some of the biggest names in Australian music, including the likes of Whitley, Jen Cloher, The Beautiful Girls and Lisa Mitchell among others. And this year continues that great list of talented names with The Vasco Era and Paul Greene. Lucille, the latest album from The Vasco Era (pictured) released earlier this year is little hint of what you can expect to hear at the gig. Currently touring around the country supporting Powderfinger on their Sunsets Farewell tour, The Vasco Eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage show is going to be one highly energetic night of fun. In 2008, Paul Greene converged on the Queenscliff Music Festival armed with his three-octave voice, witty lyrics and catchy melodies on the back of his latest release Distance Over Time. Since then, Greene has toured here and afar, captivating audiences all along the way. His return to Queenscliff this year is sure to be as big as last time and just as special as ever.

Open mic opportunity

Would you like the opportunity to play alongside Paul Greene and The Vasco Era? This year sees the opportunity to get up and strut your stuff in front of an audience with an open mic session.

Barbershop for the Bellarine DRYSDALEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S vibrant arts complex, the Potato Shed, will host The Geelong Bay City Conchords first full concert on the Bellarine Peninsula this Sunday. From 2pm, the all-male chorus of around 24 members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aged from 27 to 85 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will take to the stage for the performance. The Conchords are only one of two barbershop groups performing in Victoria, and are currently led by musical director Rod Stow, and assisted by Major Chris Daria. In their 14-year history The Conchords have established a reputation in Geelong and the western district as a quality act with their individual style and ringing harmony. This was demonstrated at the National Barbershop Convention in Hobart late 2009, when The Conchords were placed second in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most improvedâ&#x20AC;? division in Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Conchords are one among many community choirs, but if you want to develop skills in a unique style, enrich your life and others by singing your heart out and make lasting friendships, then barbershop singing is

for you,â&#x20AC;? said Conchordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; president, Chris Crook. Influenced by wives who were singing with a local female harmony chorus, The Conchords were founded in late 1996, with many of that original group still singing today, most notably Matt Eaglesham, currently programme director for the coming concert. In those early days the group would hire a rickety old bus to travel to engagements away from home. It is said that many a song was sung to the grinding of the gearbox, until eventually they sung about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bus with no gearsâ&#x20AC;?. Besides traditional barbershop harmony, The Conchords specialise in ballads, sacred music, show songs and novelty routines, backed by a range of solo performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what programme Matt puts together,â&#x20AC;? said publicity officer, Rom Embry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those Bellarine hills are surely going to ring out with harmony so unique it will make the short trip to Drysdale more than worthwhile.â&#x20AC;?

Enjoy Opera in the Otways VICTORIAN Opera has assembled an exciting cast of performers for Opera in the Otways. The concert will be held at Cape Otway Lightstation on Saturday, October 16 and will include sought-after soprano Danielle Calder, Helpmann Award winner and tenor, James Egglestone, mezzo soprano, Dimity Shepherd, and baritone, Roger Lemke. Conductor, Richard Gill, said all four had beautiful voices and were looking forward to attending the gala performance of Opera to Broadway. “These four singers are amongst the best of Victoria’s vocal talent and will be singing arias and songs which suit them especially well,” Gill said. “Danielle Calder is a strong lyric soprano with a glorious sound; Dimity Shepherd is a rich mezzosoprano who sits very easily in all styles of singing including music theatre, opera and contemporary singing; Roger Lemke is a big strong baritone from Ballarat with a very attractive voice, and James Egglestone is a beautiful lyric tenor.” Calder, from Melbourne, recently performed the role of the Governess in Victorian Opera’s The Turn of the Screw and has performed lead roles with Opera Australia, OzOpera, Melbourne Opera, and Opera North UK, to name a few. Shepherd’s operatic roles include Cherubino in The Marriage Of Figaro and Rosina in The Barber Of Seville for Opera Australia; Carmen for Oz

Picturesque Pinot

ABOUT three weeks ago I was fortunate to spend a day on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula with winemaker Mike Symons from Stonier winery. Established in 1978 by Brian Stonier and located in Merricks on the cooler south end of the peninsula, Stoniers was one of the first to grow vines down on the peninsular where the focus is only on just two grape varieties – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Symons’ resume reads impressively having worked with Brian Croser at Petaluma for many years, plus many stints overseas in the US, France and Italy, including three years at the famous ‘Antinori’ in Italy. Over the years, Stoniers has established in addition to its estategrown fruit a great relationship with a network of local growers, with the fruit sourced all hand picked, and organic principles being used in the growing process. But with the size of the business being so small, it’s deemed not viable to bother with any formalised certification as they only produce 7,000 to 10,000 cases of wine per year. During the day we spent time in the barrel room, which was a fantastic experience. A winemaker’s job is much like an artist’s with a full palette of colours to work with. Then there’s the difference between the feminine styles (lighter, more perfumed) vs. the more masculine (bigger, more powerful and muscular wines) – there are so many factors to consider. The Chardonnays, too, were characterised by one vineyard with a pronounced citrus note, another with vibrant acidity and grapefruit character showing through, but all in all, each one was a true expression of the vineyards provenance. The 2009, and 2010 releases we tasted are looking just fantastic. The single vineyard series of wines that are slated for future release are a very exciting development, and one that is in keeping with the new vision/philosophy of terroir/site specific wines that more and more pinot producers are embracing. It’s a belief that rather than blending all the components into a reserve ‘house’ style (which is okay for your entry level wine), they’re realising the benefits and increased interest of single vineyard wines.

Join the High Tide parade

Tuesday 5 October 2010

TORQUAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S High Tide Festival is once again coming up with many exciting things happening, and the community is invited to get involved. This annual community event will be happening on December 3, 4 and 5 this year, offering both locals and visitors the opportunity to engage in many exciting activities and performances. One major event that occurs over this momentous weekend is the annual community parade. This parade is designed especially for the community and its numerous groups to showcase their creativity or perform for the community. This can be by creating an artistic float or a community group performance to show off throughout the parade and over the festival weekend. The festival is inviting anyone who is interested in showing off their inventiveness, whether through performance or designing a float, to join in the festivities that the High Tide Festival guarantees. The Torquay Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed members are putting out a challenge to everyone to create

a float for the parade. The group were highly motivated by last year and are looking for people to get creative and build their own float. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are busy planning the float and are looking for people or groups to try and match what we have done,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Robinson, member of the Torquay Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed. The parade will commence at Bell Street and travel along The Esplanade, finishing at Elephant Walk. Meetings are now starting to take place to begin preparations for the parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are encouraging each of you to be fun and imaginative when designing your float and performances reflecting the theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hidden Depths: past, present and possibilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? said the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Julie Dyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for the parade to work successfully and to truly represent Torquay as a diverse community the festival needs your help and creativity to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are forms available for you to register for the parade on the High Tide Festival website at www.hightidefestival.com.au Updates for the meeting and workshops will also be on the website and in the Surf Coast Times.

Quilt winners announced QUILTMAKER Kim Gordon has beaten an impressive field of finalists to take out Expressions 2010: The Wool Quilt Prize at the National Wool Museum. Gordon has only been quilting for two years, but won the prestigious prize for her piece titled Les Rochers de Mon Desir. The quilt was inspired by the granite boulders at Gabo Island near the artist’s home in Mallacoota. Quilt prize judge, world-renowned aboriginal artist, Dr Pamela Croft-Warcon, announced Gordon as the winner at a special event at the National Wool Museum. In addition to the acquisitive prize of $3,000 for Gordon, her quilt will join the prestigious wool quilt collection held at the museum. The Highly Commended prize went to Western Australian quiltmaker Janie Matthews for her quilt titled Are We Nearly There Yet? Dr Croft-Warcon, who praised the exceptional level of skill and artistry in all of the finalists, said the two winners spoke to her through their mix of conceptual brilliance and

technical prowess. City of Greater Geelong Portfolio Holder for Arts and Culture, Barbara Abley, said Expressions had become a popular addition to the museum’s programme since its inception in 2000. “The Wool Quilt Prize is the only biennial contemporary wool quilt prize of its type in the world,” Abley said. “In the years since it was founded, it has become Australia’s premier competition dedicated to the promotion of wool in contemporary art quilt making.” Visitors will be able to have their say on the exhibition by voting for their favourite quilt in the Expressions People's Choice Award. The People’s Choice Award winner will be announced when the exhibition closes on January 30, 2011. The Expressions 2010 Wool Quilt Prize is now showing at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong. The museum is open from 9.30am-5pm on weekdays and 1-5pm on weekends. For further information, phone 5272 4701.

The festival, now in its 29th year, remains Geelong’s premier children’s festival, dedicated to promoting and celebrating performing arts for young people. Hundreds of children from primary schools and kindergartens throughout the region will attend the festival on Thursday, October 21 and Friday, October 22. Activities will take place in Little Malop Street, GPAC, the Geelong Library, Geelong Art Gallery and Johnstone Park. The fun kicks off on Thursday with Kinder Day, from 10.30am-1.30pm, while Primary Day will be held on Friday – with both days full of entertainment and activities for the children. The festival originally began when the Geelong Corio Teacher Librarians Association decided to hold a literary day for children. Held as part of the weeklong Springding Festival, the event was inspired by local author Robert Ingpen’s awardwinning children’s book The Voyage of the Poppykettle, first published in 1980. This much loved story about a group of “hairy Peruvians” setting sail from Peru to discover Australia has recently been re-released for a new generation of children to enjoy. Kinder Day is a free event open to the public, while Primary Schools Day is open to participating schools.

From Europe to Queenscliff Short film festival

comes to GPAC

SWEETHEARTS have just returned from a European tour, including performances at Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poretta Soul Music festival and Switzerlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Montreaux Jazz Festival, and they are now headed for Queenscliff. Sweethearts are based at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College in Geelong, where members can study Certificate IV in music; the highest industry based musical qualification available in any school in Australia. For the past 15 years the group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and its everchanging line-up, have been paying homage to Motown, developing a unique perspective on a cornerstone of 21st Century music that has infused their own compositions and arrangements. They take classic sounds and bring them to life in fresh, unexpected ways, while also introducing their vibrant personalities to the audience. Sweethearts have just released their eighth CD, Secret, and their original title track went to number one on Triple Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unearthed chart within two weeks of release. They will liven up the Uniting Church in Queenscliff with their unique lyrical sense of soul this Friday, October 8 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available at Queenscliff Visitor Information Centre or at the door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but seats are limited. For more information, visit www. unitingqueenscliff.org.au

LOCAL moviegoers are in for a treat next week when Short Attention @ GPAC returns to the Drama Theatre for one night only. This mini-film festival features eight short films from around the world, brought together for this event by Short Attention, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major distributor of short films internationally. Short Attention @ GPAC aims to spread â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;short film awarenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to give short films and their talented makers the recognition and exposure they deserve. Short films are regarded as a genuine art form in their own right, and are also where many of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestknown exports first displayed their talent. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme featured award-winning short films from up-andcoming directors such as Elissa Down of The Black Balloon fame, and The Squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nash Edgerton. The eight films on show in 2010 feature characters from such diverse

Highlights include Bad Habits, the story of a man forced to choose between his wife and his best mate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who just happens to be his dog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Between the Flags, in which two men on opposing sides of conflict are the first arrivals for a planned â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beach riotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Let's talk about it Tuesday 5 October 2010

THE COTTON On Foundation, the charity arm of the Cotton On Group, has partnered with beyondblue, the national depression initiative, to launch a campaign with 12 inspiring Australians who have created a range of fashion t-shirts to encourage youth to talk about depression. The Cotton On Foundation talked with Cotton On staff about which issues were important to them, and youth depression was one staff felt strongly about supporting. The depression awareness campaign is entitled ‘Talk About It’ and centres around reducing the negative stigma attached to depression by encouraging Australian youth to ‘talk about it’. A popular form of self-expression for Gen-Y, purchasing one of the 12 tees is an easy way to support the cause. The tees will be widely available throughout Cotton On stores across Australia in October. Each t-shirt also comes with information about where to seek help for depression and anxiety and $10 from the sale of the unisex ‘Talk About It’ tees will help fund beyondblue research into youth depression and anxiety. The designers include; Sarah Bonett - Fashion Editor Cosmopolitan Magazine, Ashleigh

Brewer - Neighbours actor, Kym Ellery – fashion designer, Phoebe Tonkin - Actress, Amy Findlayson model, Grant Smillie - DJ and record producer, Matt Lee -Choreographer and performer, Cameron Ling Geelong Football Club player, Max May – celebrity hair and makeup artist, David ‘Wolfman’ Williams Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles NRL player, Rhys Uhlich - model and Cory White - fashion photographer. beyondblue deputy chief executive officer, Dr Nicole Highet, said depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health problems experienced by young people. “beyondblue is pleased to be working with the Cotton On Foundation – their support will help us continue research to improve treatments, knowledge and clinical practice for young people experiencing depression and anxiety across Australia. Around one in five young people will have experienced depression and/ or anxiety by the time they reach adulthood,” she said. “The important thing to do is Look, Listen, Talk and Seek Help together. Be observant, listen to what your friends are saying about how they are feeling and talk to someone who can help.”

Tuesday 5 October 2010

MENS AND WOMENS WEAR 144 Pakington st, west Geelong Maria Alejo has created her stunning boutique, Argentina, on Pako.

Visit Argentina

BY ALISON MARTIN

WALK into Argentina and you know you have found that rare place that will be your most â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;favourite shop in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. First you fall in love with the gorgeous clothing and shoes, and then you fall in love with the ideology that has created the Pakington Street boutique. Argentina is the dream fashion house of Maria â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alejo, who has brought together a unique blend of up-and-coming designers, mixed with some leading labels and added just the right amount of vintage for an awesome collection that are exclusive to Argentina. You will find Peacock and Pearl from Barwon Heads, Desmond from Ocean Grove, Arnhem from Byron Bay, Indiana by Freda from Melbourne and Elminara jewellery from Adelaide. Customers can also expect the latest styles from Maurie and Eve, Bec and Bridge, Stolen Girlfriends Club and PeepToe Shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to promote smaller labels, with the idea that

we work together and grow together,â&#x20AC;? Maria said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do it all themselves from the designs to the finished product and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find their creations in the region. They are not mass producers and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a major store; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selective and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selective and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geelong is such a small place, I wanted to create an environment where my customers can come in and buy something everyone else isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be wearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also stock vintage, which works in with the bamboo racks, reclaimed timber fittings, and organic way the shop has been set up and my philosophy of small businesses supporting each other.â&#x20AC;? Argentina also stocks an extremely fashionable yet versatile collection of clothing which can be transformed into racewear for the coming Spring Carnival. New season styles arriving now feature the latest nude colour palette and vintage florals. Argentina is located at 144 Pakington Street, Geelong West and is a must-visit to rejuvenate your tired winter wardrobe with some stunning spring designs.

The right practices and strategies put in place when you are beginning your working life can set you up for life – and help you avoid many common pitfalls along the way. Having an understanding how your superannuation works, the difference between good and bad debt and how to budget, save and invest your money need not be complicated. Good practice makes perfect sense. If you look after the cents the dollars will look after themselves. A good practice is to spend less than you earn. Try to save or invest regularly, even if it is only a small

amount, as every great journey starts with one small step. Try to avoid bad debt and make sure you pay off personal loans and credit cards as quick as you can. Be wary of credit offers and special deals, because as we know, if they sound too good to be true, they probably are. If you have several loans or credit cards, consolidate them into one with a lower interest rate and fees. If you find “easy” credit a trap, cut up your credit cards and try a “debit” card instead. There are plenty of wealth building incentives available from the government, employers and other sources, so do your homework and know what you are entitled to. Buying a home is a big step. Try to save a 20% deposit. If you already have a home loan, make larger and more frequent payments. This has the potential t save you thousands of dollars and cut years off your home loan. Superannuation funds vary a lot, so get advice

about what is best for you and if you have a few super accounts, reduce the fees by consolidating your accounts into one. These are some practices that make good sense, but as always, I recommend you seek the help of a financial planner who can determine your investment goals and help you implement a financial strategy that is tailored to your specific needs.

Baker enjoys the coastal life SINCE moving to Torquay four years ago, Stuart Baker has been busy getting to know his local community while establishing a successful financial planning business in Geelong. “I moved down to Torquay with my wife and three boys in 2006, and have been enjoying all that the coastal lifestyle offers ever since,” said Baker. “We chose Torquay because it offers us the best of both worlds: year-round business potential and coastal living. Four years down the track, we all feel really settled here. “My wife works in Torquay and my eldest son is an apprentice carpenter with a local builder. The two younger ones are both still studying and enjoy

playing football with the Torquay Tigers.” With his family comfortably established and his Geelong business doing well, Baker is now turning his attention to extending his financial planning services along the Surf Coast. “I am a skilled financial planner with previous experience in running large practices in Melbourne and Ballarat,” he said. “Currently, I run a smaller ‘hands-on’ practice that offers clients personalised advice on protecting their lifestyles and achieving financial independence – no matter what stage they’re at in their lives. “While I look after clients from Paris to LA and still maintain some clients in Melbourne, my focus

now is closer to home in Geelong and Torquay. “My philosophy is to help people use whatever they are most familiar and comfortable with in the way of investments to get them where they want to go, which is a bit different to the product-based approach of many of my fellow financial planners.” With this in mind, Baker has organised a free information session for those on the way to retirement. The session will be held on Wednesday, October 13 from 6pm-7.30pm at Geelong’s Mercure Hotel. For more information and to register, or to arrange a free no-obligation appointment, phone Stuart Baker on 5222 2130.

Market View with tracey watts

The Irish canary in the coalmine THE ROARING Celtic Tiger economy is a distant memory for the Irish, its economy unable to escape the grip of the meltdown that started with the Global Financial Crisis. While Greece has been the headline act for the European sovereign debt crisis (Ireland has always featured as one of the fragile PIIGS economies) – now it appears to be Ireland’s turn. “Ireland scrambles to keep lid on banking crisis” declared The Wall Street Journal yesterday on the back of an announcement by the Irish government that the estimated cost of bailing out the country’s banks had risen to €45billion. This was a dramatic increase from the government’s previous commitment of €33billion and came with the added warning that the cost could be as high as €50billion under the Irish Central Bank’s stress test scenario. The continual under-estimation of the size of the problem is unfortunately giving investors an impression of a deteriorating situation. Investor concern is being reflected in Irish government bond yields, with the 10-year reaching a high of 6.73 per cent compared to the equivalent German bund yield of 2.25 per cent – an extraordinary spread of 4.48 per cent (a euro-era high) and an extraordinary vote of no confidence in the Irish economy. So Ireland it seems, is condemned to continue a painful deflationary process. Tracey Watts is a director of Third Wave Group. This is an abridged version of their weekly Tidal Report which can be accessed at www.thirdwavegroup.com.au

PROTECTING THE BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BARRABOOL HILLS

Why did State Government, City of Greater Geelong and Surf Coast Shire allocate more than $2 million towards the purchase of McAdam Park by Motorcycling Australia without considering the impact of organised motorcyle racing on the Barrabool community and environment? Who decided that a major regional motorsports facility in Barrabool was a good idea? What conditions did State Government and Surf Coast Shire place on their grants? Why have these not been disclosed to the public? Why did Michael Crutchfield MP say there were “no planning issues on its current operations” when there is uncertainty about the extent of the existing use right, an unenforced land management plan and numerous buildings and works that have no planning permits? Why wouldn’t Michael Crutchfield MP meet with community representatives to hear their concerns? Why hasn’t Surf Coast Shire enforced its own planning scheme? Why has this community been represented so poorly by those we relied on?

The perfect pet is only a click away

WITH hundreds of thousands of pets abandoned and surrendered annually in Australia, Purina and the Animal Welfare League are calling on families to choose the right pet for their family and lifestyle, and as a result, help reduce the number of pets mistreated and neglected every year. To help reduce the number of abandoned and surrendered animals and assist in this decision making process, Purina has launched a dog and cat breed selector programme, to ensure families make the right decision the first time. Purinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident animal behaviourist, Dr Jo Righetti, says choosing the right family pet is an important decision and encourages parents to do their research online first, to make sure that their potential pet will aptly suit the family lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will be sharing your life with this special furry creature for a long time, so consider your resources such as time, money and patience,â&#x20AC;? said Dr Righetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, dogs are great companions, but do require lots of owner time and some breeds are more energetic than others. Cats on the other hand are well suited to inner city living, but still require company.â&#x20AC;? The interactive portal can be found at www.purina.com.au, and is a free and easy to use tool, which can be used by families to determine which cat or dog breed would be most suitable. For those who are unsure of the

type of breed they want, Purina has also launched an extensive dog breed and cat breed library. Combining over 80 years of global experience in pet care and nutrition, the dog and cat breed selector programme gives Australians the opportunity to answer simple questions about their current lifestyle and reasons for wanting a pet. Once completed, the programme will recommend two or three breeds that best suit the family needs and lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may seem like an easy decision, but I really encourage families to consider all the factors, not just the enjoyment of having a family dog or cat,â&#x20AC;? said Dr Righetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a myriad of factors to consider such as the amount of quality time that can be truly given to your pet, unexpected expenses from vet care to pet accessories, right through to other pets in the family home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the correct research has been applied online and externally, it is a wonderful decision to make and involve the entire family. Giving love, care, support and time for a family pet is the most rewarding experience as they are most likely to give the same if not more, equal love and time.â&#x20AC;?

High fashion hits Geelong THREE of Australia’s most exciting designers are set to hit the runway in Geelong at the most stylish show of the season. Nana Judy, Anna Campbell and Arabella Ramsay will be showcasing their spring/summer collections at Catwalk for Cancer this Sunday, October 10 at the Eureka Hotel, raising money for Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre and Cancer Services. More than 1,850 Barwon South West residents are diagnosed with cancer every year, and the centre treats an average of 500 patients a week. All three acclaimed young designers grew up in country Victoria and have enjoyed an incredible rise to success in the fashion world. Their labels are now featured on catwalks and applauded in fashion media nationally, and their collections are stocked across Australia and overseas. The event is also an opportunity to view Spring Racing Carnival outfits available at Westfield outlets, and watch aspiring young designers showcase their creations in the Young Designer Finals. The Fashions on the Field Competition will see four lucky entrants win their share in $1,000 worth of Westfield Geelong vouchers. The competition is open to all guests and includes men’s and women’s sections. Designer Anna Campbell said she was delighted to support the event alongside such exciting designers, and

to showcase her range to local region. “Catwalk for Cancer will be a very special fashion event, outstanding designers are donating their time and travelling back to country Victoria in support of a very special cause,” Campbell said. The Catwalk for Cancer has again been given a major fundraising boost thanks to the AMP Foundation, which will dollar match 50 per cent of money raised, up to $10,000. AMP and Geelong-based Chapman Welsh Financial Services supported the inaugural event last year, chipping in $10,000 through the AMP Foundation’s Community Fundraising Programme. AMP financial planner, Ross Hultgren, of Chapman Welsh, said that especially in these tough economic times, AMP Foundation’s Community Fundraising Programme was making a real difference in local communities. Tickets to the event are $55 and include finger food, drink card, and gift bags. Bookings can be made by calling the Barwon Health Foundation on 5260 3355.

Have a fun night in BY LAURA DUKE

TORQUAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Bridget Hayes is one of the eight locals registered to host a Girls Night In to support the 4,000 Victorian women fighting breast or gynecological cancer this year. The 17-year-old plans to hold a clothes swap and cocktail night with about 10 of her friends, each of whom will bring a donation to send to the Cancer Council Victoria, to make their contribution towards the $1.2million target for this year. Bridget said she has not done anything like this

before, and decided to get involved this year â&#x20AC;&#x153;to do something niceâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and as an excuse for a girls night of course. The idea of Girls Night In is that women invite their friends around for a fun night in, and donate what they would have spent on a night out to the Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work into womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancers. The fundraiser has been a popular way to raise money for the cause, with about 150 women attending one of the 15 Girls Night In events in the Surf Coast last year, and contributing more than $4,300 to the $1million raised, according to Cancer

Helping to deal with dementia GEELONG Regional Library Corporation is helping the community explore the difficult issues by hosting an informative on dementia. To be held at the Geelong Library this Thursday, October 7, between 6pm-7pm, the talk is titled Dementia: What is it, how can it be avoided? The talk will be led by David Hooker, who is a dementia consultant working within the Support Services of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australia in the Barwon Region. Hooker is based in Geelong and has worked with people with dementia for the past 20 years in both residential care and in research. Lately he has focused on working directly with people with a diagnosis of early dementia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; primarily offering information and support as well as co-facilitating an Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australia small group programme called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Living With

Memory Lossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Open Mind Lecture Series provides opportunities for residents to hear from and interact with experts in particular areas of interest such as health and well being,â&#x20AC;? said City of Greater Geelong councillor, Rod Macdonald, chair of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David will not only answer questions but talk about the latest research on how to minimise your risk of developing dementiaâ&#x20AC;? Macdonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage all our members and friends to attend and find out more about this disease that is now affecting so many Australians.â&#x20AC;?

Help change a life THIS Thursday Australians will be asked to reach out to anyone doing it tough and ask â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you OK?â&#x20AC;?. This initiative aims to improve mental health, reduce isolation and prevent suicide. Nine out of every 10 people with a metal illness surveyed by SANE Australia, the national mental health charity, consider social relationships important in helping to manage the effects of their illness. Connection is a crucial part of our general health and wellbeing. R U OK? Day is about prevention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; preventing little problems turning into big problems. The message is simple: While you have a coffee, why not have a conversation? It could change a life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped that the behaviours developed from R U OK? Day, especially knowing what to do if someone says â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not OKâ&#x20AC;?, will become part of our everyday lives. For more information, visit www.sane.org

And avoid trying to force your views onto others. Attached Arians – it’s time to kick-start a stale partnership. For single Rams – love and learning are linked.

Family relationships are not easy at the moment but they are worth the time and effort you invest in them. Be inspired by birthday great Desmond Tutu (born Oct 7) “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” Some Crabs will make a fresh start via a spring clean, renovation, house move or new room mate.

Librans have a passion for fashion. Friday’s New Moon is in your sign so set the wheels in motion for a hot new hairstyle, makeup makeover or wardrobe update. You’ve got plenty of creative plans but don’t be a lazy Libran! At some stage you need to roll up your sleeves and get to work, as you put abstract ideas into concrete action.

Bulls can get stuck in a boring rut but this week’s New Moon provides a shot of adrenalin to tired old Taurus routines. You love your creature comforts but too much complacency means you don’t reach your true potential. Venus moves backwards (from Oct 8-Nov 19) so it’s time to review close relationships and avoid making major financial purchases.

For courageous Cats, a setback is only a challenge waiting to be conquered. This week you’re in problem-solving mode, as you get to the bottom of something that’s been bothering you for a while. Loquacious Lions - don’t jump in and monopolise the conversation on Friday. Perhaps it’s time to do less talking and a lot more listening?

The more you try to manipulate others, the more miserable you’ll be. Turn your attention inward and get to know yourself better through rest and reflection. A fresh start is likely in an important area of your life, as your intuition points you in the right direction. Expect flashes of ESP, an insightful dream or a fateful meeting with someone special.

It’s the perfect week to enjoy the things that turn you on (like love, friendship, conversation, socialising, reading and games) as the New Moon activates your entertainment zone. Don’t be dazzled and deceived by outward appearances though. Don your detective cap and look beneath the surface to discover what’s really going on.

You set yourself extremely high standards. This week’s Virgo/ Libra emphasis sees you overdose on trying to be perfect, while the Mercury/Pluto/Saturn links tip your obsessions into overdrive. Slow down, take a few deep breaths, and repeat the following mantra “It’s OK to make mistakes and perfection is a goal – not a destination.”

Sagittarians have large and lofty ambitions. But don’t be so busy dreaming of the future that the simple pleasures of day-to-day life pass you by. As birthday great John Lennon reminded us “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Business contacts, group projects and community connections are favoured.

Are you pursuing your professional dreams and heading in the right direction? (Which, for ambitious Goats, is only one way – up.) If not, then some adjustments are necessary. The pressure is on at work. You’re determined to push your ideas through but sometimes you need to relax and let your creative Capricorn side do the hard work for you.

Avoiding responsibilities (especially at work) will only complicate matters and make them more confusing. Plan to be professionally proactive, rather than reactive. A cherished goal or dream requires much more planning than you originally thought. That’s OK. Concentrate on enjoying the process, rather than just focusing on the destination.

Friday’s New Moon lights up your sex/money zone, so you can expect exciting developments to do with lust or loot. Some flirtatious Fish will start a hot new romance (or reboot an old one) while others will turn a friendship into a financial partnership. You’re drawn to powerful people but make sure they influence you in positive ways.

HAPPY days are here again, the sun’s shining, there is golf to play, so get out and do it. The men did just that last Tuesday in a stroke round and Henry Wasiak shot a fine 64 nett taking trophy of the day. Matt Salter also played well to take A grade with a 69. B Tom Scarff, 71 and Max Gregory 72 nett for D. Wednesday and the women, under clear skies, also played stroke and threw a monthly medal in to the mix and for the last time we congratulate Kerry (Miss USA) Bond taking a Portarlington Medal to flash around OS. Kerry also shot the best gross of the round, so it was a fitting farewell to a lady who was a great addition to the Portarlington women’s section. B grade winner was women captain, Valerie Carter 74. Best putter was Carmel Scarff, 29. Relaxed Thursday again, great weather, Joe Sacco

On to Friday chook run and for the men, Brian Webster scored 41 points and in the women, Mrs Money Bags Joy McGregor, back after an illness is back with aplomb scoring 38 points. Great to see Joy back playing among us; a lovely lady and terrific to see her enjoying golf again. On to Saturday, the first round of the men’s championship. Tension in the starting blocks for the four rounds ahead. A beautiful day deserved beautiful scoring and that’s what we saw at days end. Winning trophy of the day, first round bragging rights as best nett score of the day and monthly medal to pin on was Haydn Garner with a fantastic 76/12/64. B grade winner was Gary Edwards, 83/15/68. C, Keith Giles 90/22/68 and D grade Noel Williams,

91/25/66. One down, 3 to go it is still anybodies championship so we look forward to round two next week. During the men’s championships the women played stableford aggregate 54 holes and the leader there is Carmel Scarff with 41 points closely followed by Di Roede with 40. Then beautiful one day perfect the next, the members played Par on Sunday and for newlyweds Jenny and Dave McKeon, she has bragging rights this week. Jenny managed a sensational 9 up while hubby could only manage 5 up. Separating the sparring pair was Norm Evans 6 up. A big week coming up, on Wednesday the ladies play off for their medalist of medals, and on Saturday, 2nd round men’s champs, medalist of the year while the women play the 2nd round of their 54 hole stableford aggregate. Good luck to all players.

delighted with his shot on the 13th, leaving it a metre behind the pin. Good to see Tybin finally dust the cobwebs off his clubs, and play in the competition after a six-month absence (fair-weather player I am guessing!!) Anyway he hasn’t lost his touch finishing 2 down. The grand final replay on Saturday meant another early shotgun start with more than 70 players in the field for the individual par event. Ian Denning had a marvellous score in the perfect conditions winning with 5 up while Andy Samu had 3 up. Gavin Sheahan won A grade with 2 up. The Kitchin family dominated the NTP’s with Daryl winning the 5th and son Dean the 7th. Peter Gray took the honours on the 13th while Chris Burke won NTP on the 17th.

On Saturday Linda Turner had a double reason to celebrate, winning the comp with one up and then saw her beloved pies win the premiership.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

WHAT an amazing week it has been for the region with the world cycling championships staged in Geelong. The Sands was inundated with cyclists from all over the world, along with the entourage of mechanics and team managers. Our cart barn was transformed into the “bike hub” with seven countries utilizing the area to store and service the bikes. It was difficult not to get caught up in the build up to the races, and we watched with interest as these amazing athletes powered their bikes through the demanding Geelong layout. However, there was still plenty of time for golf and the course is looking fantastic, and will improve even more over the ensuing weeks. Men’s competition The men played par on Wednesday in fine conditions, but there was a stiff breeze that made conditions a little tricky. Jason O’Meara won the day with 4 up on a countback from Luke Vasallo. Brian Harley won NTP on the 7th while Charles Powell would have been

Women’s competitions A chilly morning greeted the women on Thursday for the 4BBB stableford event, but the scoring was hot, hot, hot! Joan Anderson and Judy Hodgkins won with a fantastic score of 49 points. Joan blitzed the front

Tri-challenge event Oan Sunday, teams from Sandhurst, and Sanctuary Lakes golf clubs travelled to The Sands for the annual tri-challenge event. A magnificent day greeted the challengers, with The Sands hanging on to win the event by a handful of points. And Deyen Lawson has continued his great form, with yet another victory. Deyen won the Victorian country championships played at the Croydon and Amstel golf clubs. Deyen fired rounds of 70 and 73 to win by four shots.

20-20 pre-season start BY ALISON MARTIN WALLINGTON and Leopold Cricket Clubs have kicked off the season with an inaugural 20-20 cricket match. Wallington took the glory on the day, but it was a great day out for players and spectators. Wallington president, Craig Connoley, said the match only took three hours to play, with Leopold winning the toss and making 88 in their 20 overs.

“The grass was thick and slow so that was a good score but we managed to pass them with five wickets down and four overs to go,” he said. “The weather was perfect and the game was played in great spirit; we’re going to make it an annual event.” The 20-20 match was sponsored by Leopold Community Bank, which also is a major sponsor of both cricket clubs. “The Leopold bank has been fantastic; they

do so much for the community and we get great support from our local (City of Greater Geelong) councillor, Rod Macdonald,” Connoley said. “Last year the club was broken in to and we lost everything; thousands and thousands of dollars in equipment and it was never recovered. But we’ve had bats and gear donated and Rod organised funding for a new security system so it won’t happen again. “We’re really looking forward to a great season.”

THE TORQUAY greens are looking great and playing absolutely beautifully for this time of year. The long hours of work put in before winter and again over the past two months by greenkeeper extraordinaire Bill Hamshere and his band of loyal workers has really paid off, with the running surfaces coming along brilliantly. Word is that they will be running about 16 seconds! We have already has plenty of compliments on the presentation of the club from members and visitors, with the surrounds coming into spring brilliantly and the new line-marking machine a big hit. Most bowlers are highly impressed with the professional look the new line-painting gizmo provides, and the hardy souls who get out in the early morning to set up the greens are full of appreciation of the fact that they don’t have to spend eons painstakingly renewing the chalk lines every day. The women’s pennant sides and social bowlers have enjoyed the fruits of all this labour, while the men’s pennant teams will have to wait another week to get to play as a combination of the UCI world cycling championships and a replay of the AFL grand final proved too much for the GDBA which called off the first round of pennant competition. Despite that, there was a great roll-up to the preseason pie night on Thursday where the club selectors and coaching team outlined their plans and ambitions for this year. The club has set a target of all four teams – Division 1, Division 3, Division 5 and Division 10 – reaching finals of their respective competitions. They emphasised that the added depth in the club, achieved through the influx of a group of experienced bowlers and the addition of some younger blood from the Twilighters should hake these ambitious targets achievable. Tomorrow (Wednesday) the men’s section begins its monthly tournament series, which this year offers great prize money and a special aggregate thanks to the generous sponsorship of Hocking Stuart Real Estate.

UCI ROAD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS The best cyclists in the world roared around Geelong on Sunday, reaching speeds of up to 75 kilometres an hour during Sunday’s UCI Men’s elite Road Race World Championship. The race – which started in Melbourne and concluded in Geelong in brilliant spring sunshine – was eventually won by Norway sprinter Thor Hushovd (pictured right).

Australia’s world-class fisheries management demonstrated Lock up mentality, caught out by report. The release of the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics’ (ABARE) Fishery Status Report 2009 demonstrates an everimproving level of fish stocks in Australia’s waters. ABARE–BRS deputy executive director, Paul Morris, said “the number of stocks classified as ‘uncertain’ has been increasing since the inception of the Fishery status reports in 1992. However, in 2008 and again in 2009 this trend was strongly reversed with 15 stocks being removed from an uncertain ‘overfished’ status and 21 stocks from an uncertain ‘overfishing’ status in 2009.” “Most of the previously ‘uncertain status’ stocks that have now been assessed were found to be not overfished nor subject to overfishing,” Morris said. According to ABARE, since 2004, the percentage of healthy fish stocks (‘not overfished’) has increased

from 27 per cent to 58 per cent. The report also states that 72.3 per cent of Australia’s fish stocks are not subject to overfishing. These figures are matched by the decline in the number of ‘overfished’ or ‘uncertain’ fish stocks. This shows that recent threats aimed at recreational fisherman, to limit their access by creating new marine parks have no foundation. The threat to lock-up in excess of 30 per cent of Australian waters from any form of fishing without proper consultation or scientific assessment and throwing away the keys is clearly shown now to be neither responsible, practical nor needed. This now shows that these fringe environmental groups, who are constantly preaching that our seas will end up empty and are on the verge of collapse are simply not correct and are certainly without basis in fact especially in Australian waters The management of Australia’s fisheries is world class and this report is clear evidence of that. With so many good people working together from the commercial, recreational and government sectors, with the sole purpose of ensuring our continued fish stocks, by working in consensus, to protect our future and the future for generations to come. This is good news for all fishermen. It shows clearly that both commercial and recreational fishers understand the environments they fish in and the need to maintain sustainable fish stocks.

IT HAS been an interesting week to say the least. After meeting with various representatives of government departments involved with the Anglesea River it seems they are starting to take some steps towards dealing with problems associated with the river. Government stakeholders will be meeting in October I have been informed, to look for solutions to the problems as well as establish the causes. It is envisaged that after this meeting has taken place, that further meetings will be held with community stakeholders who will be invited to attend with department representatives to discuss the issues and look for a way forward. I hope to keep you informed and updated on the progress of this issue
