PUT TO BED B&Bs across the Bellarine are struggling to break even under prohibitive, council-imposed costs

BY DAVID FINLAYSON

THE BELLARINE’S once-thriving ‘bed and breakfast’ tourist accommodation businesses are being crippled by rate hikes, bureaucratic red tape and a slowing economy. A 2010 City of Greater Geelong drive to identify small B&B businesses for rate reclassifications, resulting in 38 percent rate hikes, has been a major factor in the closure of B&Bs across the Bellarine. The council considers B&Bs to be ‘mixed use’ businesses, rather than the lower-rated ‘residential’. Norm Hite and Carol Fitton closed their one-bedroom ‘Green Anchor B&B Cottage’ in Scotchmans Road and sold the property. “We decided we didn’t want to work for charity, so we gave it away,” Mr Hite said.

Su rf Forecast

“The council sent us an amended rate notice… it was about an extra $800 for us in rates.” In addition to rates, Mr Hite said his insurance was an extra $800 and other registration costs meant an outlay of $2000 a year before food, electricity, linen, furniture upgrades and other costs where totalled. “People think that if you are charging $140 a night that’s what you are making. You are not. You ask yourself, why are we doing this? We know of at least three other people who have closed.” A north Bellarine B&B operator, who declined to be named, said the single-bed operators were hardest hit. “Several of us have appealed (the rate assessment) but it hasn’t got anywhere,” she said. “People who have just one room, and not getting

a year-round income to absorb the rates and other overhead costs, are unviable. I know of a number who have closed or are closing.” A central Bellarine B&B operator who also declined to be named for fear of retaliation from council is considering closing her business. “They (CoGG) looked at possible revenue streams. One (stream) was B&Bs operating alongside many other home businesses, but the others were harder to target. B&Bs are registered with council under, say, health regulations and are therefore easy targets. Other businesses are harder to track down,” she said. All operators said the economic downturn had hit hard in the last 12-months, with fewer people willing to holiday on credit. Geelong Otway Tourism deputy director Terry

Hickey said the organisation was concerned about losing B&B ‘room stock’ in the Bellarine. “When this first raised itself as an issue we approached council but there has been no will to change,” he said. “There seems to be an over concentration (by council) on tourism, which brings in new money from outside the region and which we should be encouraging.” Council’s acting general manager corporate services Mike Kelly said most councils didn’t offer a middle-ground ‘mixed use’ rate category, instead placing B&Bs directly on the full ‘commercial’ rate. He acknowledged the council “conducted a widespread review” in 2010 to ensure the “correct rate” was being applied to home-based businesses, such as B&Bs.

MAYOR’S COLUMN St Leonards Heritage Trail Signage We are currently calling on artists to come up with designs for the St Leonards Heritage Trail Signage. Located in the heart of the St Leonards township, the trail currently consists of 13 interpretive corflute signs. It was established by the St Leonards Progress Association. Thanks to funding allocated by Cr John Doull, we now have the opportunity to replace the temporary corflute boards with permanent, attractive signage. The new signs may include images, sculptural features and interpretive text about designated sites of historical significance around the township. When choosing the design we will be looking for signs that are articulate and integrate with local cultural identity. They also must be compatible with pre-existing structure plans for the area. A project brief and more information can be found at www.geelongaustralia.com.au Expressions of interest are due by 5pm this Friday, September 16. For more information contact Public Art Officer David Fitzsimmons on 5272 4704 or email dfitzsimmons@geelongcity. vic.gov.au

Municipal Fire Management Plan We are currently seeking feedback on our draft Municipal Fire Management Plan, which provides a strategy for the coordination of fire prevention measures. As the plan states, we live in a fire prone environment dictated by our climate of wet winters – which creates fuel – and hot dry summers. Fire management needs to take into consideration threats posed by fire to life and property, biodiversity maintenance and the ongoing management of our parks and forests.

The fire management plan is part of the City of Greater Geelong wider Municipal Emergency Management Plan. It charts the coordinated implementation of measures designed to minimise the occurrence, and reduce the effect of bushfires in the City of Greater Geelong. By inviting community feedback on the plan we ensure that it responds to the community’s needs, values and perceived risks. The Municipal Fire Management Plan can be found in the Your Say section on www.geelongaustralia.com.au Submissions are open until 5pm September 30 and can be submitted online using our Feedback form or alternatively send your submission to David Skurrie, Infrastructure Operations & Waste, City of Greater Geelong, PO Box 104, Geelong 3220.

Bob Merriman not merry BY HAMISH BROOKS THE MAYOR of Queenscliffe has hit back at comments from the Department of Sustainability and Environment that suggest the council agreed to the demolition of buildings in the Toc H Area. Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Bob Merriman was flabbergasted at the new chapter that has been added to a topsy-turvy ten years of negotiation with the Government over the management of the area. The Bellarine Times contacted the DSE following revelations they were knocking down three buildings in the Toc H Area while the buildings potential use was still being debated. DSE south west group manager of public land

services Greg Leece said the houses had structural problems, exposed asbestos and had been derelict for some time. “The buildings also conflict with the heritage values of the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse precinct,� he said. “Their removal will enable council to plan for future improvements and potential community development opportunities. “Council originally agreed to proceed with the demolition process and once the buildings were demolished they would become the ongoing Committee of Management.� “DSE will continue to support council with undertaking a feasibility study and planning

processes for future use of the lighthouse reserves.� Mr Merriman hit back at these claims, saying that council at no stage agreed to the houses being demolished. “We knew their condition and could have repaired them. To say they don’t fit the landscape is a bit rich given that they have been there for over 30 years,� he said. “How will DSE support council now given the roadblocks they have put in place over the last 3 years. “If he is dinkum and wants to serve the public my door is wide open.� State Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville was also astounded at the decision to knock down the

buildings while negotiations for their use were still happening. “I’m absolutely stunned that this could happen. I find it appalling,� she said. “I raised the issue of the management of the area in Parliament earlier this year. “When in Government, we provided the DSE with funding to form a plan for the area with the Borough of Queenscliffe. “So for the DSE to do this without proper consultation is a slap in the face. “I’ll be raising the matter in Parliament this week and will call on the Minister (Ryan Smith) to halt any action until all parties can agree on the management of the area.�

CONSTRUCTION delays have hit Drysdale’s planned ALDI supermarket. The new store will be built at 2026 Murradoc Road where landclearing work has begun. A company spokesperson last week was unable to confirm an opening date “due to delays in construction�. ALDI had earlier this year advised the store would be built and trading by Christmas. The delays will be disappointing for local traders in Murradoc Road who see the supermarket as attracting new business to the small-business and light-industry strip.

INSIDE Cancer support success THIS EDITION 2 8 18 22 25 78 81 87 88 89 91 98 100 101 102

A RECENT fundraising evening at Montana’s Fashions in Portarlington for cancer patient Brett Allender was a “huge success�. The Bellarine Times reported not long ago that Clifton Springs resident Mr Allender was warning people with symptoms or a family history of bowel cancer to have it checked. He believes his bowel cancer could have been caught years earlier if he had gone for a routine check-up. “Get checked even if you feel alright. Had I gone to be checked years ago this could have shown up,� he said. “It has probably gone undiagnosed for years. It’s okay to get checked.� Mr Allender has had a bowel operation and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Montana’s Fashion proprietor Sandi Hillman said the fundraiser was attended by 27 people, many who were family and friends. “It was an emotional night at times but overall a night of fun and laughter,� Ms Hillman said. “Well over $700 was raised during the evening and the family gained much emotional support. “We played a lot of games, had giveaways and of course there was champagne and nibbles.� Ms Hillman said Montana’s Fashion had supported similar worthy causes in the past. “I think it’s important that business supports groups and individuals within their local community and this is one way we can help,� she said.

and direct seeding techniques,� Ms Barham said. “We’ll have Department of Primary Industries’ Bill Whiteside talking about Gorse management at about 11am, and there will be a Gorse management demonstration. “There will also be information about our current revegetation projects on the Bellarine and the Bellarine Secondary College nursery will be open to members. “Generally it will be a great opportunity to

share knowledge about different land management techniques and discover about our environmental assets on the Bellarine,� she said. The Bellarine Landcare Group information day will be held between 10am and 12 noon on Saturday, September 17 at the Bellarine Landcare nursery at Bellarine Secondary College on Belchers Road, off Grubb Road, Drysdale.

Decision due on pigeons BY DAVID FINLAYSON BELLARINE Pigeon Club has cancelled pigeon races and may have to cancel a pigeon showcase event early next month due to a deadly virus in Victoria’s pigeon flocks. Avian paramyxovirus has been detected in a number of flocks in Victoria in Shepparton and the north-western suburbs of Melbourne. The deadly virus, which has not previously been found in Australia, causes sudden death in large numbers of birds after the birds appear tired and show neurological signs, such as circling or head flicking. A spokesman for the Department of Primary Industries said to date no cases had been found in the Bellarine, but bird owners should not “socialise birds� as a precaution. Bellarine Pigeon Club secretary Ken Glynn said pigeon races would be cancelled for the next couple of weeks. “Until we get the further information we have

cancelled races. The authorities have acted on it (the virus) quickly,� Mr Glynn said. He said cancelling races was never taken lightly and it was a difficult time of the year. “People have put a lot of time into the preparation of their birds for races at this time of the year. We are about half way through the season,� he said. “Birds are like race horses and will lose condition if they don’t continue with their program. One of the races cancelled had about $1,500 prize money, so it was a significant race,� he said. “We will be guided by decisions from government and avian veterinarians in relation to the showcase next month. It is designed to show pigeons as a hobby. Many people when they were younger may be aware that a neighbour or an uncle or someone like that had an interest in pigeons. We are trying respark that interest,� he said. “Our club does mainly racing pigeons, but we are affiliated with other clubs, one of which has an offshoot for show birds,� he said. A deadly virus is affecting pigeons throughout Victoria, with ramifications for the Bellarine Pigeon Club.

Bicycle race inspires some wheelie good ideas BY DAVID FINLAYSON DRYSDALE plans to turn on a celebration to remember when the Jayco Herald Sun cycle tour hits the town in mid-October. The stage-three race finish will be either at the old Drysdale railway station or along Collins Street near the main Drysdale shopping precinct on Friday October 14. The exact finish-point logistics were yet to be finalised late last week. The cyclists will have raced from Geelong to Lorne and back along the Great Ocean Road, before

crossing the Bellarine to the Drysdale stage-finish line. A public meeting called in Drysdale last week began community planning for what will be known as ‘wheelie day’. Committee for Bellarine spokeswoman Kerry Bell said ‘wheelie day’ activities would focus on the Drysdale primary school oval between 12 noon and 6pm. “The plan is for a series of events and activities leading up to and coinciding with the stage-three finish,� Ms Bell said.

“Hundreds of support crew for the 18 elite cyclist teams, media and race officials will converge on Drysdale providing an excellent opportunity celebrate the great things about the Bellarine region. “The community with the support of local business will provide free entertainment, giveaways, music, food, wine and local produce. “It’s shaping up as a real festive occasion for the whole community. There will be free showbags for families as they enter the area, including promotional material on the Bellarine. “There will be a ‘ride to school’ day to coincide

with the race rolling into Drysdale with bike safety educational sessions.� Interactive hands-on activities will include a specially-designed science obstacle course, with guest presenters from the CSIRO and Deakin University talking about elite athlete physiology and nutrition, and offering samples. Ms Bell said the women’s cycling international time trials would also be held on the day from Drysdale, beginning at 12 noon. For details on ‘wheelie day’, visit www. committeeforbellarine.com.au

In their stride BELLARINE locals are being encouraged to dust of the walking boots and stride out to raise money for caner. Naomi Young, Bellarine Relay For Life Coordinator, said Cancer Council’s Relay For Life empowers every local resident to fight back against cancer. “One in two Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer by age 85, so we all have a reason to help fight the disease,” Ms Young said. “Bellarine Relay For Life is suitable for everyone, and is an opportunity for us to band together and celebrate with cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against cancer.” Bellarine Relay For Life will see teams of locals taking turns to walk or run through the night to raise funds. The money raised will fund life-saving cancer research, prevention programs to help Bellarine residents reduce their cancer risk, and provide support services for people facing cancer. “As well as being an opportunity to spend time with the people you care about most, Relay For Life gives us all the chance to make a tangible difference to the people we know who are facing cancer,” Ms Young said. “When you know someone facing cancer, it can be difficult to know how to help – Relay For Life is a simple way that every one of us can provide real support,” she said. The Cancer Council Victoria is calling on Bellarine locals take a lead role in the upcoming Bellarine Relay For Life. As a team captain, you will be asked to rally a group of friends and family to participate in the overnight event, scheduled for 12th & 13th November 2011. People can head along to a registration night at the Collendina Reserve, Ocean Grove on 13th September at 6.30pm or register online at www.relayforlife.org.au There is also an information/registration night at Deakin Waterfront, Geelong on 14th September at 7pm and we will be at the Rotary Market Ocean Grove on 2nd October. Bellarine Relay For Life will be held at Collendina Reserve, Ocean Grove and will commence with a Survivors and Carers Walk at noon on Saturday 12th November. For more information visit relayforlife.org.au or call 1300 656 585.

Burn out A black patch of earth on Bluestone School Road where a car was set on fire last week.

A STOLEN vehicle was violently destroyed by fire on Bluestone School last week. A charred patch of earth and ashy debris near the intersection of Blackrock Road is all that is left of the car burnt in the early hours of September 8. Connewarre fire brigade head David Baker said the fire brigade were called out at around

2am to a vehicle that was alight. Mr Baker said that the car was burnt by the time they got there. “Connewarre Fire Brigade attended with welcome support from Barwon Heads and Belmont fire brigades,” he said. “When the fire was out Police were organising a tow truck to take it away.”

A representative from the Geelong Crime Scene Services office said no one was harmed and the owner had been notified. “We identified the remnants of the vehicle at the towing depot early the following morning, and found it to be an outstanding stolen vehicle, left on the side of the road, and set alight.”

Road widening claim denied BY DAVID FINLAYSON A CLAIM that Geelong City Council hadn’t ruled out a proposal to widen Thirteenth Beach Road because it could be an opportunity to shift funding responsibility for the road from the council to VicRoads has been denied. However, it has been acknowledged that in the longer term the road may come under state control. Bike Safe is behind a push to have the road widened by at least three metres to incorporate bike lanes and to rename the road Cadel Way in honour of Cadel Evans. The plan has already prompted concerns from

environmentalists about the need to bulldoze a band of sensitive Moonah woodlands in unstable sand dunes. Barwon Heads resident and objector to the Bike Safe plan, Ross Harrison, claims an injection of the at least $4 million of State Government funding needed if the road were to be widened would see the State Government want full control of the road. He claims this would be an attractive proposition for the council which currently has financial responsibility for the road’s maintenance. “Once they get it widened it will change the criteria of the road and it would then probably come under the State,” Mr Harrison said.

An expanding road of controversy through the fragile dunes along Thirteenth Beach.

“It would become a state road, which would mean the City of Greater Geelong would not have to spend any money, which is what they are all about,” he said. But local ward councillor Andy Richards denies the council is trying to off-load responsibility for Thirteenth Beach Road. But he said he was aware of the cost implications for ratepayers of ongoing maintenance of the road. “It’s true that council wants to get the best for the community, and won’t be signing up for something that costs a lot to maintain into the future,” Councillor Richards said. “So, any long term plan will probably see the

road revert to state rather than local control, as they have a far greater ability to fund infrastructure and its maintenance. “Let me be clear – council has no intention of spending any money on Thirteenth Beach Road in the near future. “This is because there are more pressing issues to fix such as pedestrian and cycle safety within Barwon Heads itself,” he said. “I am on the record supporting improved safety for pedestrians and cyclists in Bridge, Golf Links, Sheepwash and Geelong roads. “We will be improving safety there first before we spend money on Thirteenth Beach Road.”

This picture was taken two weeks ago in the sand dunes that adjoin Thirteenth Beach Road. Bellarine Times reader Peter Fuller sent it to the paper to highlight the various wildlife that call the dunes home. “I saw an echidna crossing Thirteenth Beach Road so I parked and found it feeding in the dunes so I took a few photos,” Peter Fuller said. “It’s a pity to want to impose on the habitat of such an iconic Australia creature.” More of Mr Fuller’s photographs can be viewed at www.peterfuller.com.au

Telstra Foundation makes the difference for Geelong and Surf Coast junior clubs BY DUANE DALTON Five Geelong and Surf Coast organisations have all received a $1,200 Telstra’s Kids Fund grant, which will help to develop and enhance the talents, skills and enjoyment of their students and club members. Successful recipients of the grant include Hamlyn Banks Primary School, St Patrick’s Primary School, Rix Street Kindergarten, Corio Bay Stingrays Basketball Club and Leopold Netball Club. Leopold Netball Club will be using the funds to provide their juniors with brand new netball uniforms. Director of Leopold Netball Club, Daryl Allwright, said “Our girls are really excited about getting their new netball uniforms! The grant also frees up funding that we can use to improve the facilities of our club and purchase new equipment to develop our junior players.” Telstra Foundation programs such as Telstra’s Kids Fund aim to support the best assets our communities have – our children and their future. We hope that through these grants they will form a genuine and positive connection with the Geelong and Surf Coast community.

We also, hope that Telstra’s Kids Fund grants can help add to the energy and vitality of grass roots organisations such as the Leopold Netball Club and in doing so we can assist in getting the most out of their junior players and help them realise their potential. Over a number of years schools, sporting clubs, hospitals

and childcare centres are some of the organisations that have benefited from Telstra’s Kids Fund, with funds going towards anything from musical equipment to building upgrades and sporting equipment.

Seniors explore new world of communication Geelong and Surf Coast seniors had the opportunity to explore a whole new world of communication as part of the recent Telstra Connected Seniors sessions in July. Hosted by ‘The Gadget Guy’, Peter Blasina, the workshops taught seniors everything from how to surf the ‘net, send text messages to family and friends

to take photos with their mobile phones. The workshops have been designed to cater to all levels of experience to make sure all seniors can get the most out of the technology available to them. Students from St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart College volunteered their time to show the seniors how to store

important contact details for emergencies, send emails, access the Internet and also answered questions seniors had about their specific mobile phones. It’s never too late to learn about technology, so for more information about the Telstra Connected Seniors Workshops and the next round of applications, visit www.telstraseniors.com.au

Barwon Heads & Ocean Grove in Focus

Tuesday 13 September 2011

Running car boot sale BY DAVID FINLAYSON A CAR BOOT sale at Wallington this Saturday will help raise funds to support fundraising by the Cathy Freeman Foundation team entry in the Melbourne marathon next month. Wallington resident Heidi Wane became friends with Cathy Freemen through minding her cats when Freeman lived in Ocean Grove in 2007. Freeman and Wane still keep in touch since Freeman has moved back to Melbourne. Ms Wane who will compete in the Freeman Foundation team in the marathon has organised the car boot sale as a fundraiser. “It is through Cathy and her work with her foundation that I learnt about the needs of indigenous children on Palm Island,” Ms Wane said. “This inspired me to find ways to assist her work. “I feel that by enhancing educational opportunities for children it gives them a solid platform to spring into positive life experiences,” she said. The foundation aims to raise $50,000 through fundraising associated with its team entry in the marathon on October 9. The car boot sale will also include an ‘antiques road show’ component where Mark Stone of Woodlands Auctions in Ocean Grove will appraise antiques, at $5 for two items. All proceeds will go to the Freeman Foundation. “It would be great to have as many people as possible bring their treasures for valuation,” she said. The car boot sale is open to anyone with something to sell. The cost in $10 per site. It will be held at the Newington Uniting Church, corner of Hardings Road and Wallington Road, Wallington between 10am and 2pm, Saturday September 17. For inquiries phone 5255 2562.

Rotary members enjoy a tea break with their Lions Club counterparts at a joint project where they constructed a disability ramp for a family in Barwon Heads.

THE ROTARY Club of Ocean Grove is continuing its active and busy year with a number of events and projects on the go through spring. It has recently finished work to significantly improve the Ocean Grove Lookout Reserve with historical story plaques, restoration of the drinking fountain and historical direction finder, construction of a low brick wall entry way and laying of lawn now complete. Services Projects Director Phil Edwards said that the work means the reserve is now an even better place for a family picnic, a look across the water and a quick history lesson of the town of Ocean Grove. “There was an official launch following the completion of the historical plaques but the construction of the low brick wall entryway has only just been finished,” he said. The Ocean Grove Ambulance Fund Raiser is

among many events Rotary have under way. “We are working to raise a total of almost $40,000 to upgrade the Phillips MRX Monitor Defibrillators in two of Ocean Grove’s ambulances,” Mr Edwards said. “Ambulance Victoria has committed $8,000 and the Rotary Club has already raised nearly $10,000 so we are almost hallway to the target. “We are looking to work with other community organisations or individuals to reach to final target.” To this end, Rotary’s summer community market at Kingston Park kicks off Again on October 2. This long standing club activity has raised many thousands of dollars for local community groups such as Ocean Grove SLSC, Ocean Grove Toy Library, the Neighbourhood Centre and other local charities and organisations. Anyone interested in helping or wishing to make a donation to the ambulance fundraiser should contact Phil Edwards on 0432081888.

Barwon Heads & Ocean Grove in Focus

Local RSLs come full circle BY DAVID FINLAYSON OCEAN GROVE and Barwon Heads RSL clubs have amalgamated to form one sub-branch covering both communities. The Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads RSL will be based at Club Grove in Ocean Grove, but the Barwon Heads RSL facilities will be retained. Both town centres will continue to hold their own separate ANZAC and remembrance day ceremonies. The amalgamation took effect from the beginning of this month, with a formal presentation of the new sub-branch charter by RSL Victoria chief executive, Colonel Michael Annett CSC, planned for a general meeting of the new sub-branch on September 19. Ocean Grove RSL president Keith Hankin said the move was a return to a much earlier arrangement. “It is said that life does the full circle, and in this case it’s true,” Mr Hankin said. “The Barwon Heads sub-branch began in 1948 with ex-service people form both sides of the river in the recreational hut at Wyndean caravan park. “In 1962 a number of members living on the Ocean Grove side of the river formed the Ocean Grove sub-branch,” he said. Barwon Heads RSL vice president John Smith said the members of both former sub-branches welcomed the move. “We all want to retain services and this will allow us to work more effectively for members,” he said. He said the Barwon Heads sub-branch had 61 members but had not been able to fill all executive positions. The Ocean Grove sub-branch had 140 members prior to the amalgamation. Both men said the sub-branches had been experiencing the impact of an aging membership,

however, efforts were being made to encourage active participation by younger returned service members. Mr Hankin said that under affiliate

membership arrangements family members and representatives of other services, such as police and fire, could join the RSL.

THE OCEAN Grove Community Association emerged from their monthly meeting with a couple of clear priorities and couple more to clarify. Association president John Fendyk said a couple of things came up at the meeting for which the organisation will continue to lobby actively. “We had an inquiry from the community about setting up a sound shell in the Ocean Grove Reserve and we agreed to formally support seeking funds for this important cultural facility,” he said. “We can’t offer any funding ourselves but will be encouraging the Ocean Grove Community to get behind fundraising efforts for the project which will cost about $1 million. “The other thing we talked about was uncommitted funding from VicRoads for traffic lights at the corner of Marlin Drive and Tuckfield Streets. “It’s been listed as a high priority project for Vic Roads for the last few years and for work still to be outstanding, we feel is really disappointing. “We’ve written letters about the work that needs to be done and encourage the community to do the same.” The association is also encouraging people who attended the picnic event to submit their responses for the three projects they feel are the top priority for Ocean Grove, which will allow them to develop a new strategic plan for the area.

Moonah magic in Drysdale BY DAVID FINLAYSON A MIXED MEDIA art exhibition celebrating Moonah trees found around the Bellarine coastline will open this Sunday in Drysdale. A group of 10 artists from around the Bellarine have combined their works to stage the exhibition. 135 Gallery director and linocut artist Pip Williams said the works were all celebrating the beauty of the Moonah tree. “The older trees have so much character and personality, but the perception differs from person to person,” Ms Williams said. Fellow artist Wendy Naylor said she had been fascinated by Moonah trees since she was a child playing in the local stand of Moonahs.

“For me it’s all about the dark bits in the trunks which swirl around. The pockets in the trunks go in spirals and give the tree its individual character,” she said. “The Moonah parklands in Barwon Heads are amazing. There is an enormous tree that is at least 300 years old. “The kids call it the ‘fairy tree’ because it has glitter in it. One mum said to her child if you gather enough glitter you can do magic. “Moonah trees are magic,” she said. The exhibition came about when Williams suggested an exhibition to Point Lonsdale artist Deb Brearley who came up with the Moonah theme. “Everyone immediately said ‘yes’, what

a wonderful theme,” Ms Williams said. The cutting down of Moonah trees and associated woodlands has become controversial on the Bellarine, but Ms Williams said the exhibition was ‘nonpolitical’. Artists exhibiting are: Jill Anderson, drawings; Deb Brearley, painting and cyanotype; Ryan Brearley, painting; Suzanne Cronin, jewellery; Janet Goldman, linoprints; Heather Di Grandi, collage; Sue Longmore, textiles; Wendy Naylor, paintings; Gidja Walker, drawings; and Pip Williams, linocuts. The exhibition opens with a public launch at 3pm, Sunday, September 18, 135 Gallery, 135 Andersons Road, Drysdale. Workers in Barwon Heads ruptured a gas pipeline in Ozone Road, with gas being smelt across the river in Ocean Grove.

Diggers strike gas BY ALISON DEANE EMERGENCY SERVICES were forced to close a residential Barwon Heads street last week after construction workers digging the road struck a major gas pipeline. Gas odour could be smelt in Ocean Grove due to the leak on Ozone Rd last Thursday afternoon, but residents experienced minimal disruption. Bellarine Police Station Commander Gary Coombes said no one was harmed, and safety was

not compromised. “There was thought of evacuating, but after consultation with the CFA, we concluded it was safe for people to remain in their homes,” said Mr Coombes. “Workers were called out from Tenix, the owners of the pipes, who crimped and secured the pipes in under an hour.” “The road was closed for two hours, but as few residents were home, there was only some disruption. “It would have been a costly exercise for the diggers.”

Local artist Wendy Naylor, left, and 135 Gallery director and artist Pip Williams are surrounded by Moonah tree-themed art works.

Road paved with words ROAD TO Reading is an exciting new program that introduces pre-school children to the early stages of reading through signs and sounds. Director Kate Keogh teaches small groups during the school term on Mondays in Torquay and Tuesdays in Herne Hill for children aged between 2-3, 3-4 and 4-6 years old, and plans for a holiday program over summer. Kate started the program in Term Two to provide parents with a new local early-learning option, valuable to young children’s development prior to

going to school. “Road to Reading is about preparing children for school and giving them the best chance to achieve their potential,” she said. The program helps children and parents get started with early learning, and introduces them through ‘Cued Articulation’, connecting letters and sounds with logical hand gestures. “We introduce children to initial concepts like print, books and stories, and then consolidate their learning through stories, songs, rhyme, games, and

craft, that they can also take home. “The visual cues can be picked up quickly and easily remembered. We keep it fun, exciting and engaging, teaching lots of little things and keeping it moving.” With a passion for nurturing children’s literacy skills, Kate loves to see the children’s pride when first picking up a new concept. “The kids are developing great skills, especially those who continue on, but it really is a team effort. We all get excited when the penny drops, and then

the children can go home and continue learning.” The program has been very successful with parents impressed at the steps children are taking, and happy with their development. With the program set to expand as demand grows, Mrs Keogh also hopes to run a holiday program over summer, to help prepare children for their first day at school. For more information on Road to Reading, contact Kate Keogh on 0402 284 224, or visit www. roadtoreading.com.au

Torquay invited to apply for Local History Grant BY SAM SUENDERMANN THE SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula could benefit from a grant program with Premier and Minister of the Arts Ted Baillieu inviting Victorian community groups to apply for a share of $350,000 in funding. “Grants of up to $12,000 are available for projects that preserve and increase access to Victoria’s rich and wonderful history as part of the Government’s Local History Grants Program,” Mr Baillieu said. “This program supports projects that help communities connect with their history in innovative and engaging ways, including written histories, the preservation of precious collections and the sharing of stories through exhibitions and multimedia, to help Victorians understand our past and enrich our future.”

The program is open to not-for-profit community groups across the state and is run by Victoria’s Public Record Office. Previously funded local history projects include newspaper microfilming and digitising, multimedia projects and online exhibitions, historical murals and interpretive signage, among others. “These grants support the networks of volunteers and community organisations that are custodians of our heritage, making it available to future generations and sharing it with Victorians,” Mr Baillieu said. Applications opened on Monday 5 September and close on Friday 11 November 2011.

News in brief Jan Juc kite boarding accident LOCAL AMBULANCE and SES services were called to Point Impossible Road around midday on Friday to attend to a 35-year-old woman who was injured while kite surfing. The woman was taken to Geelong Hospital with pelvic and back injuries. “It was quite a delicate operation with emergency services having to wade through Thompson Creek to get to the lady,” Victorian Ambulance media spokesperson John Mullen said. “She was suffering from pelvic and back injuries but left the scene in a stable condition.”

Football armbands cause uproar THE PRESIDENT of Winchelsea Football Club, Anthony Coxon, has condemned members of the club’s under 18 team who recently wore red armbands in support of three former teammates who were jailed for armed robbery the day before the match. Club officials were reportedly unaware of the ‘tribute’ in the lead up to the match and said that if they had known of the planned action it would never have gone ahead.

Walk to school day CHILDREN ACROSS the region are being asked to walk to school on October 19 for Walk to School Day. Funded by VicHealth, the day encourages students to improve their fitness in an attempt to reduce current figures that show a quarter of all children aged five to 17 are either overweight or obese. “We need to challenge our ingrained habits to ensure walking to school becomes a regular, everyday activity to improve kids’ health, help the environment, broaden social networks and build self-confidence,” Victoria Walks Executive Officer Dr Ben Rossiter said.

Coasting at school A NUMBER of Japanese students had an experience they won’t forget when they headed down the Great Ocean Road last Friday. As part of the Gordon Institute’s Experience Australia: Five Senses Cultural Exchange, 13 students from Ikenobo Junior College in Japan are participating in an intensive two-week study tour with a difference. The Great Ocean Road day trip allowed the Japanese students to work alongside local Gordon students as part of their studies by participating in a unique ‘outdoor classroom’, coordinated by tourism student, Kaitlin.

The students stopped at Anglesea Golf Club to see kangaroos before a brief stop in Lorne and lunch at Apollo Bay, and stops at the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge before returning via Colac. The exchange students receive hands-on training in a range of areas at The Gordon, including Australian floristry, aromatherapy techniques and hospitality studies. This training is supported and extended with an intensive business and retail English Language program. Andrew Palmer, skills centre manager for language and further education at The Gordon, hopes this is the first of many programs

which will build on the The Gordon’s strong relationship with Ikenobo and other colleges in Japan’s Kyoto region. “Our partners in Kyoto are a consortium of world-class training and education providers, and we are excited to be increasing our cultural and academic exchange to create current and future opportunities for all our students,” he said. Other highlights of the study tour will include a floristry demonstration by both Japanese and Gordon students, and a Japanese tea ceremony demonstration. The students will return to Japan on 16 September.

Japanese exchange students enjoy a stop at Anglesea Golf Club, where they can get up close with the resident kangaroos.

Hauling the weekly paper into the back of his mum’s car is all in a day’s work for Brodie Tweeddale.

DELIVERING THE NEWS The Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times will be running a weekly profile on the unheralded people who bring this paper to you. In the first profile we ask Brodie Tweeddale some hard-hitting questions. Name: Brodie Tweeddale Age: 13 Location: Torquay How long have you been delivering the paper for? For about three months with my friend Sam Coles. What area do you deliver the paper to? I used to deliver papers around Ocean Views but now I deliver in Wombah Park. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you while you have been delivering the paper? I was delivering the papers with Sam and we were crossing a block of land and out of nowhere two plovers started swooping us so we ran away but they kept following us. How do you spend the money you earn delivering the paper? I usually try to save the money I earn from the papers but just recently I board a new skateboard. When you’re not delivering the paper, what do you do in your spare time? Usually playing sport or down at the beach. If you owned a newspaper you would... put more articles about sport in the paper as well as some small competitions.

Hon. Terry Mulder, MP Minister for Public Transport Minister for Roads

Sufficiently accurate truth Dear Editor, Reading Alan Barron’s letter (Bellarine Times, 6 September), one gains the impression that the UK’s 2007 High Court ruling on Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth refuted the whole basis of human-induced global warming. Nice try, Alan. The actual High Court judgment ruled that the film was ‘broadly accurate’ but identified four events where there was insufficient evidence to prove a direct link to climate change. These were: coral bleaching, snow loss on Mt Kilimanjaro, drying up of Lake Chad, Hurricane Katrina. In addition, Mr Justice Barton ruled that three claims were not supported by the current scientific evidence. These were that polar bears were drowning, that Pacific islands were being evacuated because of inundation, that a sea level rise of 6 metres was imminent due to the melting of Greenland / Antarctic ice caps. In addition, the judge took issue with the claim that a CO2 and a temperature graph were ‘an exact fit’. He noted however that scientists agreed there was a connection. He adduced from the IPCC report that it was ‘very unlikely’ that the North Atlantic Conveyor would be shut down. In his letter, Alan insinuates that the first three well-documented events (coral bleaching, snow loss on Mt Kilimanjaro, drying of Lake Chad) have not happened, and falsely claims that the judge refuted that ‘CO2 was the principal driver of climate change’. The film was judged sufficiently accurate to be shown in UK schools. People are being given the correct information on climate change, but not by Alan Barron, alas.

contact activities such as boating and fishing. Under normal circumstances this could have been devastating to our river. Barwon Water is quoted as saying warning signs were erected around the site, river users and people nearby were spoken to by Barwon Water personnel. Barwon Water placed only four signs at the site of the spill, but did not place signs in the township or around the mouth of the river, which is a popular spot for dog-walking, canoeing, paddle boating and some recreational fishing. There was no effort to inform the community, it was only after the media reported on it that the community became truly aware. Barwon Water did not issue any public warnings to the community through the media at the time. Finally, the EPA failed to independently test the water in the river until a week later, after the media releases, when bright yellow and dark brown sludge could be seen floating on the surface of the water. Don’t we the public have the right to be fully informed? All river users should have been told of the immediate risk as well as the community. We deserve better not only from our utility providers but our Government departments as well. So I’m sorry Mr Bicknell, but in my opinion and many others you didn’t do the right thing at the time. However, I am pleased to acknowledge that at least now you are trying to be more proactive. Your community and stakeholder engagement team are well and truly out and about actively advising us of the planned repairs and how they are too occur. I’m also pleased that the EPA is taking this seriously and that they will now be monitoring how those repairs proceed. That is all we have ever asked for Mr Bicknell, proper, open communication and accountability from those in charge. I don’t think that is unreasonable. Do you? Garry Kerr Anglesea

River of discontent

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, In response to Mr Bicknell I wish to put into context the events as they happened. Fact: on the 8th of August, Barwon Water identified a leak in the sewerage pipe located in a residential area half a kilometre upstream from where the Great Ocean Road crosses the Anglesea River. EPA confirms that according to Barwon Water the sewerage leak in the Anglesea River spewed a estimated 60,000 litres of human waste and almost 400,000 litres of recycled water into the troubled waterway. Mr Bicknell admits Barwon Water measured elevated levels of E.coli bacteria in the water at the site, according to their own readings at levels of 2,900 organisms per 100 millilitres. This had the potential to raise levels of the potentially deadly E.coli bacteria to almost three times that of acceptable risk levels. Australian and New Zealand guidelines for fresh and marine water quality specify quite clearly 1,000 organisms per 100 millilitres as the acceptable level of E.coli bacteria in waters used for secondary

No amount of sand in sand bags will solve the crushing effects of climate change on the Great Ocean Road. On both sides of Apollo Bay, the southernmost town on the mainland of Australia, this vital tourist road is being eaten away as the sea rises. It isn’t a gradual thing, it is very exciting, sudden falling aways by so-called king tides, storms or what-have-yous. Big gaps appear in the path along the sand dunes and encroach metres into the edge of the road, greeting you each morning at different places when you go for an innocent ramble with your doggie. Like Don Quixote we have strange dinosaur-like lumbering bulldozers and front-end loaders on the delicate beach scraping up huge sand castles ready for the sandbagging process. People living a couple of kilometres to the west in the township of Marengo fear they will have to drive back into the hills through the Otways rainforest to reach other towns or find a way back to civilisation – pretty serious, no shops for about 45 minutes or so. The solution is glaringly obvious but nobody wants to admit it. The road will have to move! The sea needs more room to play with. Of course the flatter the delta the more it travels horizontally

until it meets higher ground. How nasty, no more “free” public land of the foreshore to be plundered for whatever infrastructure we need – roads, paths, sailing clubs, toilets, golf courses and pony clubs. Even the sewerage pipe recently embedded in the sand dunes to relieve Skene’s Creek of its effluent on the Melbourne side of Apollo Bay is in danger of exposure in all its glory. Please get on with acquiring private land and spending our rates and taxes on providing the appropriate infrastructure. Not sand-bags. We already have thousands of new 10-tonne connies piled up to secure the seaward arm of the fishing harbour wall and who wants a town perched on a grimy fake wall lapped by the sea? Inconveniently, the biodiversity of the rivers, streams, estuaries and wetlands along the coast deserves consideration too. Yvonne Lo-An Francis Apollo Bay

Apollo Bay not London Dear Editor, London this is not, but a gang of youths yelling and shuffling past gave me a start when I took out the rubbish tonight. That will teach me to defend the riots in England. Montrose Avenue is one posh street. It starts a block away from thriving shops, restaurants and pubs on the Great Ocean Road but it lacks effective street lighting and there are no footpaths. We walk on the road to avoid wet grass and muddy holes. I thought I saw a spacecraft weaving up and down eerily in the sky last week, but that was a ditigal camera perched on a 60-foot white extension pole taking real estate photos. The electro-magnetic interference from Telstra’s huge tower next door would be interesting. Apart from speed traps along the coast we don’t seem to have very sensitive government planning in Apollo Bay. Yvonne Francis Apollo Bay

Thanks to the shire Dear Editor, I would just like to say a sincere thank you to the staff at Surf Coast Shire who helped me organise and deliver the first Moriac Makers & Growers Market. In particular I want to thank Jim Lawson for being so helpful and going above and beyond what was expected in his efforts to ensure the event was successful. I know that local government has a reputation for being a bit slow and overly bureaucratic, but my experience with the Surf Coast Shire was the total opposite. All the employees I spoke with were only too happy to help. I know that this market would not have been the big success that it was without their support and enthusiasm. I look forward to working with them on planning the next one (January 8, 2012). A very pleasant surprise, so thank you! Jasmin Findlay Moriac

Lorne Performing Arts Festival

THE INAUGURAL Lorne Festival of Performing Arts was held on the weekend and featured a variety of acts. HOMETOWN favourite and fishmonger poet Christos Raskatos read his poetry from his shop down by the pier to festival goers whose love of poetry overcame the inclement weather. He served oysters with his words and performed next to a filleted snapper carcass. VCAL students got into the swing of the 1950s and 1960s themed festival by taking guests back in time at the Lorne theatre. A series of burlesque shows spiced up the weekend, as did live music from local favourites The Beachniks and Mikelangelo and the Tin Star.

Creatures of the night BY ALISON DEANE

INDIVIDUALS, SCHOOLS and organisations across Australia are being invited to participate in a nationwide night-time spotlight survey of animals in an effort to help save our threatened native species. The 13th annual Tiwest Night Stalk, coordinated by the Perth Zoo, is underway. It provides data and raises community awareness of Australia’s unique yet vulnerable native animals and runs until October 16th. Perth Zoo Chief Executive Susan Hunt said it was important to involve everyday people and organisations in community projects to help save our fauna, and increase awareness of extinction rates and severe decline of species in Australia. “The night stalk helps with our understanding of Australia’s native species, their habitats and the major threats they face. “It is a fun and easy way for people to connect with nature and inspire them to take an interest in what can be found in their backyard and local area,” said Ms Hunt. Tiwest Night Stalk coordinator Suzi Greenway said it was a very important community conservation program, and free and easy to participate. “People can undertake the spotlight survey in their local area and record any animals they see including frogs, birds, reptiles, mammals and feral pests like foxes, cats and rabbits. “The survey can be undertaken on any night or over a number of nights up until October 16th, and results can be submitted online or by post to Perth Zoo,” said Ms Greenway. Ms Greenway reminded people to keep safety in mind and encouraged participants to head out with someone.

“Individuals can go out with a friend, family, or organise a group, barbeque or expert speaker, you can put your own tilt on it,” said Ms Greenway. Data collected during the Tiwest Night Stalk is collated and analysed at the Perth Zoo,

with results available on the website and data made available to wildlife and conservation agencies and atlases. To download the spotters log, or for more information, just go to www.perthzoo. wa.gov.au/nightstalk

What’s that in the tree? These youngsters are getting into the spirit of night-stalking animals with torches.

Funding for local Landcare groups announced BY ALISON DEANE THE FEDERAL Government has announced $450,000 in funding for three significant local Landcare group projects under the Caring for Country Program, which will assist with natural resource management and sustainable agriculture. Bellarine Landcare, Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network and Upper Barwon Landcare Network will split the funding to continue fox control, improve soil quality and assist farmers with operations, emissions and health. Local Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman said he was really pleased the projects had been funded as they are a good balance of direct action to help fight immediate threats and longer term goals about sustainability and soil health. “The projects will work to restore and better manage our landscapes, improve farm practices and care for our land, bringing farmers, land managers and the broader community together to work on important environmental and agricultural projects,” he said. The Bellarine Landcare Group have been granted $264,000 for stage two in the control of predators on the Bellarine Peninsula’s Ramsar wetlands. Bellarine Landcare coordinator Cate Barham said the funding was great news and it will be exciting to see how stage two goes. “The project has been implemented over the last couple of years, and although it might not be possible to completely control foxes, the funding will definitely help us to protect the wetlands and bird species from the threats foxes pose,” said Ms Barham. Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network will receive $152,900 towards product and processes trials to improve soil condition and productivity, ultimately extending to farmers and the broader community. Discussion groups and workshops will be established as a result of $43,032 in funding granted to the Upper Barwon Landcare Network to help farmers build capacity and better manage their farms.

Setting the example OWNER AND operator of Liquid Earth Construction, Nate Clifft, has a vision: “I want to see the Surf Coast become the most self-sustaining area in Victoria. We need to set the example.” There are now affordable, efficient solutions that help us lead more sustainable lives. LED lighting coupled with solar PV systems gives us the ability to stop paying power bills all together. Solar PV systems, LED lighting, grey and black water retention systems are all real, economically viable solutions to these problems. The latest is the introduction of residential and commercial LED lighting systems. LED lighting is 100 per cent recyclable, contains no hazardous substances and will cut your lighting bill by a massive 90 per cent. All LED products provided by Liquid Earth are safety certified and come with a three-year replacement guarantee (despite led lights having a usable life of 50,000 hours – that means 15-20 years in residential homes). Using only one-tenth of the energy your current lights are consuming you can see the environmental and financial benefits instantly! “Too many people believe that green living means compromising on lifestyle, in fact it is the other way around,” Mr Clift said. The good news is that these solutions can be architecturally designed, fashioned into your property – no need to worry about aesthetics being compromised for green living. ‎Liquid Earth Construction is committed to providing the highest-quality products and service available in Australia. Whether you’re after a green living solution or an energy assessment on your property, Liquid Earth can provide you with the answers and advice to help achieve a positive environmental and economical impact.

Jan Juc Coast Action Group members working to re-establish and protect native vegetation.

Planet of the Days BY ALISON DEANE JAN JUC Coast Action Group will join forces with community groups on September 22-23 to assist in the preservation of our diverse environment as part of the annual Rip Curl Planet Days. In its 12th year, the Rip Curl Planet Days is a large scale conservation program aiming at improving coastal ecosystems, involving over 200 volunteers who plant indigenous trees and weed and mulch various areas across the Surf Coast. The program is the largest event on the Jan Juc Coast Action Group’s calendar, which chairperson Luke Hynes said highlights the significance of their passion for preservation

and revegetation of the Jan Juc coastline. “We love to work closely with other conservation groups to maintain our natural environment, and are always grateful for assistance and funding that make days like this possible,” said Mr. Hynes. Founded in 1994 by Ian and Roma Edwards, Jan Juc Coast Action was the first coast action group in Victoria, undertaking various conservation activities including management of species, removal of environmental weeds, erosion control and provision of tracks and lookouts. “In our first ten years we concentrated on planting and woody weed control, and today we maintain some planting, but undertake a lot of fine detail weeding.

“We work to re-establish the native vegetation on the Jan Juc cliff tops, and protect and enhance the native vegetation that’s already there.” Jan Juc Coast Action are always looking for new members passionate about conserving the natural environment, to get involved, the group meets on the first Sunday of each month at the Jan Juc cliffs, and undertake regular working bees. “Everyone can contribute to conserving our beautiful Surf Coast by sticking to paths and avoiding walking on the conservation areas.” Contact Luke Hynes for more information on 0406 113 438 or email luke@ beaconecological.com.au

DSE south west threatened species senior project officer Garry Peterson said the south west team go to great lengths to discover and protect rare species to avoid and recover from near-extinction. “We work to bring back and preserve a range of disappearing flora species including threatened orchids, with a new species discovered last week. “We also undertake recovery work, monitoring and habitat protection for many animals including rare marsupials, birds, bats and whales, as well as lizard species, frogs, insects and crustaceans,” said Mr Peterson. The majority of the DSE’s threatened species work is conducted in partnership with the Corangamite, Glenelg Hopkins and Wimmera Catchment Management Authorities, with funding obtained from the Commonwealth’s Caring for Our Country Program and the State Government’s Natural Resource Investment Program. Mr Peterson encouraged everyone to take an interest in the biodiversity around them and help protect threatened species. “Staff get great satisfaction from helping species avoid extinction, and enjoy seeing others get involved in threatened species recovery – as a volunteer with local conservation groups and events, as a landholder helping to preserve a threatened species on their property, or by being a responsible pet owner ensuring pets don’t roam or impact on local wildlife.” For more information on biodiversity or how you can get involved see the DSE website, the South West Integrated Flora and Fauna Team wiki at www.swifft.net.au, or follow the DSE on twitter.

PROTECTING THE BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BARRABOOL HILLS

The Barrabool Rural Protection Group (BRPG) continues to fight the inappropriate development of a motorsports facility at McAdam Park in the Barrabool Hills. The inappropriate location of the planned facility in a sensitive environmental area in close proximity to homes and working farms raises significant planning, noise, environmental and other concerns. A major development in the Barrabool Hills will be unsustainable, will not meet the needs of motorcycle riders and is unacceptable to the community.

The BRPG calls on local and state governments to work together and with the community to identify a sustainable solution for motocross riding in the region. If you would like to help or need more information, please see our website www.brpg.com.au, which contains significant new information we have obtained through Freedom of Information processes including the original business case and the agreement between Motorcycling Australia and the Surf Coast Shire.

Singapore fling

Fuller

NICOLE and I travelled to Singapore for five nights of relaxing in June. With miserable weather back in Geelong, we left our families to enjoy the warmth of sunny Singapore. Having only stopped at Singapore Airport many years ago I was keen to see what Singapore had to offer. I was not disappointed. Our plans to relax and have a hard-earned break were quickly forgotten as we got into everything Singapore had to offer. It can be much more than a two-night stopover destination. We had the pleasure of experiencing a few tours with Tour East, and on the first day headed to Sentosa Island which now features Universal Studios. We steeled ourselves for some thrill-seeking and water trench rides for the morning followed by the afternoon exploring Underwater World, Butterfly and Insect Farm and the museum at Sentosa Island. By the evening we were watching the Songs of the Sea – a multi-sense extravaganza with a live cast, dramatic effects, water jets, lasers, fire and captivating music – on the beach. There is also much more to do at Sentosa such as the beaches, Skyline luge, the Tiger Sky Tower, the cable car, Fort Siloso, The Merlion and the Megazip. There is something for all ages. We enjoyed a Night Safari Tour to experience the animals at night in a tropical jungle, and also did the Singapore by Night Tour which features a visit to Bugis Street, dinner at Clarke Quay and finishes at the famous Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling. They are still serving peanuts with the peanut shells over the floors and tables.

We did a Singapore City Tour which included a visit to the National Orchid Garden and ended at the Singapore Flyer – the largest observation wheel in the world. We planned our break around the Singapore Sale which is generally from late May to the end of July. The shopping centres of Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Bugis Street and Chinatown are all full of bargains to be had. We visited the new and stunning Marina Bay Sands Resort, after walking from the Singapore Flyer. This is a glamorous integrated resort offering guests luxury hotel rooms, a world class casino, upmarket shops, conference facilities and the magnificent Sands SkyPark which tourist can visit for 20 SGD and experience the amazing view of Singapore and the bay from the Skydeck, while having a meal or just a drink. Getting around Singapore is very easy with the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), and taxis are very affordable. The city is extremely clean and we felt very safe travelling at night. Food was very reasonably priced and delicious. Alcoholic drinks were expensive. We stayed at Swissôtel The Stamford, which is in an excellent location, and flew with Emirates to Singapore. At Harvey World Travel we can book your holiday to Singapore, and for any groups of shopaholics we could put together a great experience for you.

PRIME BEACH FRONT 3 The Esplanade, PORTARLINGTON

AUCTION Saturday 8th October at 2.00pm ‘Seafield Lodge’ – one of the most prime positioned waterfront properties in Portarlington – is a superior investment opportunity. This town central elevated block overlooks Port Phillip Bay, the shipping channels across to Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. The home was architecturally designed and takes on the theme – as the name suggests – of a lodge, surrounded by a ‘field’ of sea. At night the shimmering city lights of Melbourne are a continuous sparkle around the bay. The location is perfect – only 200 metres to the main street where you can enjoy a selection of local foods from a variety of cuisines, before spending some time in the boutiques and gift shops. A short drive takes you into the beautiful Bellarine to taste some of our world renowned wines. The generously sized block of approximately 816m² has beautifully manicured gardens surrounding the family home, and has accommodation for two cars in the double garage plus a carport for recreational vehicles – which can double as an undercover entertaining area. With the Safe Harbour Development fast becoming a reality and the proposed ferry service across to Melbourne, the next owner of this fine property will have great foresight of where Portarlington is heading. It’s a very exciting new era that will attract a multitude of visitors to this remarkable bayside town.

Industry Info

David Furze joins Barry Plant BARRY PLANT Real Estate is very happy to welcome well-regarded, local property manager David Furze to their Torquay team in Pearl Street. With many years in real estate under his belt, David is glad to have recently joined forces with Barry Plant Torquay. “I am excited to be a new part of the Barry Plant team, and I aim to put landlords first, and maximise their investments,� said Mr Furze. David fell into real estate, after initially working in administration and contracts for a volume builder. “I started out as an assistant property manager, and property management was a natural progression,� he said. After growing up in Melbourne, David moved with his family to the

Surf Coast years ago and does not look back. “I love the area for the lifestyle. The Surf Coast is slightly more laid back than the hustle and bustle of the city, and the new highway makes it easy to head back to Melbourne to visit family and friends.� With a love of sport, especially football, David is a keen Magpies supporter, a fact he wants to keep under wraps for the time being. He is excited for finals season, and his new role with Barry Plant. For more information on holiday and long term rentals, and property sales, contact David Furze and the team at Torquay’s Barry Plant on (03) 5261 4001, or drop into the offices at 23A Pearl Street, Torquay.

Rentals availability improving THE JULY rental vacancy rates show that – in contrast to regional Victoria – the availability of rental homes in Melbourne continues to improve. The rental vacancy rate for Melbourne increased to 2.5 per cent from 2.2 per cent in June and is now well above the average for the past 12 months of 1.75 per cent. It appears that a reduction in population growth and increase in construction of new dwellings is now beginning to provide easier conditions for renters. The availability of rental homes has been very poor for the past six years and renters will welcome the recent increase in the vacancy rate. The fact that the vacancy rate is still below three per cent indicates that there are still too few rental homes. The highest level of vacancies is in the outer suburbs, where 3.2 per cent of rental homes are vacant. This is a substantial improvement from June, when the vacancy rate was 2.1 per cent. In the middle suburbs, the vacancy rate is 2.6 per cent – a small improvement from June, when it was 2.1 per cent. In the inner city there has been a slight tightening from 2.4 to 2.2 per cent. Rental homes in regional Victoria are still more scarce than in the metropolitan area, with a vacancy rate of 1.6 per cent compared to 1.5 per cent in June. Of the three main regional centres, Bendigo still has the tightest rental market, with a vacancy rate of only 0.3 per cent, down from 0.5 per cent in June. In Ballarat the vacancy rate was stable at 0.8 per cent and in Geelong there was a minor reduction from 2.4 to 2.1 per cent.

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

Quality on display THERE ARE so many horror stories going around of things that have gone wrong when building a home, or once a home is built, where people realise that the builder has cut every corner and jeopardised quality. Hotondo Homes provides peace of mind as all homes are built to the highest quality and standards. Hotondo Homes is a building franchise where builders remain independent and in charge of their own business. This means that builders have to uphold their reputation, as they rely on local business, and they also live in the local area. By becoming a Hotondo Homes franchise, builders have access to a range of floor plans, buying power and support, meaning that customers can achieve a great quality home at an affordable price. There are six independently owned Hotondo Homes franchises throughout Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast areas. These six builders all pride themselves on the great quality homes that they build. Through the buying power of Hotondo Homes, builders have access to well known reputable brands, and use them throughout all homes that they build. Hotondo Homes are so confident in the homes that they build, they even offer a maintenance period after you have moved into the home. Because you are dealing with members of the local community, they keep you informed every step along the way, and your builder can also be contacted at any stage throughout the building process. Each home comes with a fixed-price contract, so customers know the total cost of their home upfront and don’t have to worry about any additional extras further into the building process. The fixed-price contract includes everything for your home, including complete kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and much more, meaning you can move straight into your brand new home. To see the great quality homes that local builders have built, visit the display villages at Estuary Estate in Leopold and Arlington

Rise Estate in Portarlington and look for the Hotondo Homes signs. There are also two more display homes currently being built in Warralily Estate, Armstrong Creek, which are due to open earlymid 2012. If you choose to build with Hotondo Homes, your homes will be built to the same standards as the display homes, truly making your dream home come to life. To find your local builder, call 1800 677 156, or visit www.hotondo.com.au.

Built by locals for locals: an Hotondo Homes house glows in the dusk.

Stylish living at the Estuary

SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula home buyers can now enjoy the latest in stylish living with the Cosgrove 321 Boulevard and Princeton 251 Tempo from leading builder Dennis Family Homes, now on display at the Estuary Estate at Leopold. Both quality designs feature four double bedrooms, including main with ensuite, double garage and alfresco area for outdoor entertainment. The Cosgrove is a generously proportioned home of 32 squares, but can be constructed on lots with a minimum lot width of 16 metres, while the stylish Princeton measures 24.8 squares and is suitable to blocks from just 14 metres in width. “Our choice of the Cosgrove and Princeton for the Estuary Estate display is reflective of what our company has been doing in metropolitan areas in recent times,” said Dennis Family Homes area manager Geelong, Phillip Shaw. “Not only do these designs particularly suit the estate, which features allotments of 14 and 16-metre width, but they meet the growing trend of developing on narrower blocks than what has traditionally been the case.”

The spacious Cosgrove is part of the Dennis Family Homes Generations Series. The Princeton is from the Aspirations Series and visitors to the Estuary Estate are seeing this design displayed for the first time. “Amongst the Cosgrove’s many attributes are its roominess and liveability which make it an ideal second home, whilst the Princeton offers tremendous affordability for first home buyers looking to enter the market,” Shaw said. “In addition to a wide range of standard inclusions, we are offering the Cosgrove and Princeton with free carpets and tiles for a limited time only.” Both homes are featured with a range of optional extras on display at Leopold. The Cosgrove’s kitchen features a double wall oven tower, which effectively creates two ovens side by side. Also in the kitchen,

the island bench features a very handy Evoline pop-up power point which becomes accessible when needed, but remains discreetly and safely hidden away at all other times. Gloss cabinetry has been included in the display home kitchen, bathroom, powder room and ensuite, whilst the walk-in robe in the master bedroom has been fitted out so that everything has its place. Optional extras displayed in the Princeton at Leopold include an upgraded façade, upright cooker and sliding door from master bedroom to alfresco area. There are also entertainer sliding doors for outside access from the meals area and family room. Both are on display in Paraffin Drive, Estuary Estate, Leopold (Melway Ref: 468 C5). Displays are open weekdays 1-5pm and weekends 12-5pm. For more information about Dennis Family Homes, visit www.dennisfamily.com.au

No Hack with camouflage-style art BY DAVID FINLAYSON ARTIST Emma Hack, who did the body paint for Australian singer Gotye’s latest music video clip, has an exhibition of her unique skin-illustration art at Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery. Painting naked models to blend camouflage-style into wallpaper-patterned or similar backgrounds and photographing the result is her trade-mark creative style. The South Australian-based artist’s work is in demand internationally and she is currently also exhibiting at art fairs in New York and London. Hack has recently completed a body-art short film for Estee Lauder. Seaview Gallery’s Colleen Kenwood said the Hack’s work was extremely popular. “Emma’s coveted ‘wallpaper collection’ expertly blends the female form into famous Broadhurst wallpaper designs,” Ms Kenwood said. “Her first ever wallpaper camouflage back in 2005 took 19 hours straight to paint, with more recent works taking anywhere from seven to 15 hours, depending on the design. “It’s an exhausting process for artist and subject alike; however the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Pamela Manning of Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery with one of artist Emma Hack’s unique skin illustration artworks, Peregrine falcon with spotted sun.

“Emma discovered the iconic Florence Broadhurst range of wallpaper designs which provided the perfect inspiration and was given access to the Broadhurst archives for her work,” she said. Emma Hack’s 21-year career has evolved from beginnings as a child’s face painter and qualified hairdresser and make-up artist to today’s world acclaim. During her career she has explored new mediums and

travelled to China to be part of a large Mont Blanc installation. While there she studied porcelain painting resulting in a collection of porcelain busts. She also created the ‘panoramic bodies collection’ shot on location in the South Australian outback where a team of acrobats and models where body-painted against the landscape. The Seaview Gallery is at 86 Hesse Street, Queenscliff, phone 5258 3645.

Another of Emma Hack’s interesting illustration artworks, Owl in the Woods, with a ghostly human form amongst the trees.

Spend the night GRAPEVINE Reminiscing } Beaujolais is back BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Jon Helmer

CORKS CREW CELLARS

THE BURGUNDY region isn’t just home to some of the world’s most famous pinot noirs and chardonnays, it also produces some of the most enjoyable wines. Located in the very south of the Burgundy region, Beaujolais produces only one wine – red – exclusively using the Gamay grape variety. Gamay makes a light to medium bodied wine, with distinctively rich fruity berry flavours. The key to this fruitiness is in the vinification, known as carbonic maceration. The grapes are picked as whole bunches and thrown in the vats, stalks and all. The bottom grapes are then crushed naturally by the weight from above. When they start to ferment, which in turn sets off fermentation in the remaining grapes, the heat causes them to ferment inside their skins causing a deeply coloured ‘fruity’ yet dry wine, low in tannins and high in acidity. There are 10 distinct villages known as ‘Cru du Beaujolais’ appellations and one that captured my attention is that of ‘Fleurie’. Its wines are ripe and fruity (yet still dry) and are renowned for the explosion of floral expression on the nose with highly perfumed red fruits and violets abounding. On the palate, the flavours are just juicy and delicious with velvety texture, elegance and silky smooth tannins. Predominantly drunk young, good vintages can be aged for many years. The two featured are great examples of the region and style and deserve your attention as the weather gets milder heading into summer, so bring it on!

2009 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais “Fleurie� ($28) So, impressive is this. I tried is last week at a trade tasting and was blown away by its gorgeous richness and ripeness – such easy drinking. The Duboeuf name is synonymous with top quality Beaujolais, in fact, George Duboeuf is known as The King of Beaujolais. Cru Beaujolais – in this case from the highly esteemed ‘Fleurie’ region, shows more fullness, flavour, structure and longevity than mere Beaujolais –Village offerings. The 2009 is a cracking vintage and I seriously suggest you re-acquaint yourself with this soft, ripe, silky, classic little Beaujolais.

2007 Cave De La Madone Beaujolais “Fleurie� ($42) A more serious version off older vines (60–80 years old) that shows more blueberry and dark fruit complexity, greater depth of flavours on the palate and intense fragrance on the nose, finishing with beautiful plush suppleness and balance.

ONE OF Australia’s foremost singersongwriters and former Little River Band front man, Glenn Shorrock, will play up close and personal in the luxury surrounds of Peppers Resort in Torquay next month.

Youthfest set to rock THE BELLARINE Secondary College’s Drysdale Campus will present Youthfest Goes Global. The event will showcase some of the special guests from the upcoming Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF). The Red Eyes, Tom Richardson, Sweethearts and a host of other guests will take part in this unique youth cultural festival day, as part of the QMF FReeZa program, which provides drug, alcohol, smoke-free, fully-supervised events to the community. Alongside special live music showcases, the QMF performers will offer student workshops in guitar, bass, drums, keys, song writing, artist mentoring and more. This QMF Youthfest program will offer a unique opportunity for students to be inspired by and learn direct skills from some of Victoria’s finest musicians and performers. Youthfest is organised by a creative team of students and is aimed at offering students a chance to try new things and experience activities not normally offered at school. Participating groups include Victoria Police, Headspace, Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre, Youth Foundations, Out There and Disabled Surfers amongst others. This year’s theme of Youthfest Goes Global relates to the promotion of diversity, mental health

and wellbeing. Multicultural awareness will be also be promoted and it will be a great opportunity for young people to connect with the community, and for the community to connect to its youth. A range of other local primary and secondary schools have been invited to Bellarine Secondary College to come along and join in the fun on Thursday, September 15 and it is expected that the day of activities will cater for 1,500 students and community members. It is a free event.

LAST WEEK I travelled to the Agrarian Kitchen just outside of Hobart to learn more about sustainable beef production and old time butchering. We learned about unusual beef cuts and proceeded to roast, braise, sautÊ, poach and barbecue our way through the local grass-fed beef. The cattle were ethically raised and dryaged specifically for our class. The Agrarian Kitchen, established by Rodney Dunn and his wife SÊverine, is Tasmania’s first hands-on, farm-based cooking school. It is a working farm and incorporates an extensive vegetable garden, orchard, berry patch and herb garden, all grown using organic principles. The class was led by Rodney Dunn, a former food editor of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine and one-time apprentice to Australian Chef Tetsuya Wakuda. We were instructed on butchery techniques by well known Hobart butcher Marcus Vermey, who has worked in Japan and runs an incredibly successful butchery in Sandy Bay. We prepared over ten dishes and for me the highlight was a beef carpaccio. At Torquay Farm Foods we can slice some of our grass fed porterhouse to make this dish simply and simply magnificent.

Carpaccio with Fried Polenta Cubes and Rosemary Chilli Oil Ingredients 200 gm yellow polenta 40 gm grated parmesan Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 200 ml olive oil 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 small red chillies, thinly sliced 400 gm grass fed porterhouse, cut into 1.5cm-thick slices 1/3 cup (loosely packed) rosemary sprigs

Place beef slices between pieces of plastic wrap and pound with flat side of a meat mallet until paper thin. Bring 850ml water to the boil in a large saucepan over high heat, season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and add polenta in a thin stream, whisking continuously. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, for 3040 minutes or until polenta is smooth and creamy. Stir in parmesan, pour polenta onto tray and spread to 2cm thick. Cover closely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool. For rosemary chili oil, heat oil in a small saucepan until just warm, add remaining ingredients and cool to room temperature. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan or deep-fryer to 180C. Using a sharp knife cut polenta into 2cm cubes and deep fry, in batches, for 5 minutes or until crisp and golden, then drain on absorbent paper. Place beef onto plates, divide polenta cubes among beef, drizzle with rosemary chilli oil and serve immediately.

From school to Big Day Out AUSTRALIAN high school students have the opportunity to showcase their musical style and talent through the MySchoolAct competition this year. Students will perform music ranging from punk rock to indie, through to classical and acoustic in a bid to win a Sony recording deal and the chance to be included in the Big Day Out 2012 line up. Exclusively created for Australian high school students, MySchoolAct offers a platform for budding musicians to be heard and discovered by submitting a video or MP3 of their songs, as well as images, biographies, updates and – most importantly – creating a fan base at www.myschoolact.com After a sensational career as a TV music host on Video Hits and now with a successful acting career in LA, Nathan Sapsford has returned from LA to present this year’s MySchoolAct competition. He is ready to impart some of his industry knowledge and inspire budding musicians to get involved. “Music success is about rolling your sleeves up and getting dirty, so what better place to do it than in a comp like this, with no consequences and so much to gain. “You’ll learn a lot, make new friends and maybe even leapfrog to the top,” Mr Sapsford said. With music their inspiration since high school, successful pop-punk band Tonight Alive have joined MySchoolAct as ambassadors to inspire young, up-

Circus of love ACROBATICS, CONTORTION, hula hoops and adagio combine with the classical art of Chinese footjuggling in A4 Circus Ensemble’s spectacular show DownPour. Inspired by the Dostoevsky short story White Nights and re-imagined within a physical framework, the performers’ unique set of circus skills are used to consider and emotionalise this story of new love, lost love and every kind of in-between love. If you’ve ever been in love – particularly with the wrong person – DownPour will push your buttons and ring every emotional bell you have. Four characters stir from a sleep, disturbed by sounds of threatening weather. The stage is set and we’re taken on a seductive journey of powerful circus routines and magical imaginings. DownPour is fresh from a season at the Montreal Circus Festival and this is a unique opportunity to catch them for one night only at The Potato Shed, Drysdale. “They’ll draw you in and make you love them‌ When I left the theatre, the world seemed more beautiful and poetic,â€? Pan Magazine, Melbourne Fringe 2010.

A+E news in brief Cowrie market this Sunday

TORQUAY’S COWRIE market is on again. Specialising in home-grown and homemade products – as well as local art and music – the market will be held on the third Sunday of every month from September through to April. The market takes place along The Esplanade, in between Gilbert St and Anderson St. The first market of the 2011/12 summer period will be held this Sunday, September 18.

Dancing Latin

LOCAL LATIN band Los Locos will perform at Wolseley Winery this Sunday, September 18. The five-piece group incorporates the soulful percussion of Stella Savy, Jeff Raglus on the trumpet, Tim Fullerton playing doublebass, Wayne Parker on guitar and Michael Martinez on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Los Locos’ sound could be described as ‘Urban Latin’ and is a mixture of all the different personalities within the band. The performance will be held between 2-5pm and tickets cost $10. For more information contact Wolseley Winery on 0412 990 638.

Singing for fun

DownPour acrobats emotionalise Dostoyevsky’s short story White Nights with their unique set of circus skills.

Sick of singing in the shower? Why not head along to Bellbrae School Hall on September 30 for a bit of a singalong with other like minded people. Don’t worry, it’s not a choir, just a group of people that gets together monthly, with fun as the only priority. No bookings are required, just turn up on the night at 6pm. Entry is $10 for adults and $7 for concession card holders – this includes snacks, tea and coffee, as well as delicious homemade soup and crusty bread.

Prepare for communication overload this week, as you are hit with information from a variety of sources. Travel is also highlighted but try to be flexible, as plans are likely to be changed at the last minute. Venus visits your career zone from September 15 to October 9 so cool cooperation – coupled with Capricorn charm - will help you move mountains at work.

The full moon highlights wellbeing issues – of a physical, emotional and spiritual nature. Issues from the past could also arise, as unresolved matters resurface and demand to be addressed. Venus moves into your relationship zone on Thursday, so it’s the perfect time for Rams to flex your romantic muscles. Singles – look for a lover who is mature and wise.

With the full moon activating your adventure zone, crawl out of your comfy crab-cave and start exploring the big world beyond your door. And don’t let fear of failure deter you from attempting the impossible. Be inspired by birthday great Samuel Johnson “Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome.”

Vampy Venus visits your sign from September 15 until October 9 so prepare to be at your luscious Libran best as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters. If you are attached, plan an exciting escapade with your partner on the weekend. Some singles will experience love at first sight on Saturday, when Uranus revs up your relationship zone.

This week’s full moon urges you to be more mentally flexible, as you take the rough with the smooth and search for the subtleties in every situation. Taureans are terrifically practical and logical but make sure you also utilise your imagination. Your quote for the week is from Lauren Bacall born on September 16, “Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.”

Leos love luxury but it’s not a good time to go on a spending spree, enter into a joint business arrangement, or lend money to others. You’re liable to make financial decisions based on your emotional state, which is fluctuating wildly under this week’s full moonbeams. Creative communication is favoured, as you tap into the talent in your local community.

Have the past few weeks been so frantic that you’ve had no time to catch up with close friends? The full moon stimulates your sociability gene, so you’re in the mood to reconnect with your peer group, as you get deep and meaningful about the things that really matter. And don’t be surprised if they have some unexpected and dramatic news to divulge.

Your spending patterns are erratic at the best of times. This week, with the full moon stimulating your money zone, it might be best to avoid shopping – and hide your credit card. Expect the unexpected on Saturday, as your rebellious attitude ruffles a few fragile feathers. Sunday is about excitement and adventure, as you spend time with family and friends.

Expect the unexpected at work this week, as the full moon shakes up your career zone. It’s time to focus on issues and details that would normally test your short attention span, as Jupiter and Pluto give your mental faculties a boost and help you concentrate. On the weekend, join forces with family and friends to find practical solutions to persistent problems.

Most people will have a hefty dose of full moon fever early in the week, so don’t expect them to behave in predictable, logical ways. Positive Mercury/Jupiter aspects will boost your Virgo vim and vigor on Thursday and stimulate your study gene. With the power of positive thinking on your side, you can climb any mountain and sail any stormy sea.

Avoid being housebound early in the week otherwise, with the full moon stirring up your domestic zone, you’ll just drive yourself and those around you crazy with your impatient and impulsive ways. Relations with children, teenagers or friends will be unpredictable on the weekend. Singles – looking for love online sees you make a hot new connection.

With this week’s full moon in your sign, you may be affected by mood swings and dramas as pliant Pisceans become pensive and petulant. But you can also expect creative inspiration and spiritual insights, as your inner muse demands to be heard. When it comes to helping others, aim to get the balance right between being generous and gullible.

Physio and podiatry on the move TORQUAY PHYSIOTHERAPY Clinic and Surfcoast Podiatry has moved to a new and bigger premises ensuring you move well and stay well. Their new location is 9 Great Ocean Road on the corner of Hoylake Avenue, Jan Juc, after being located for the past decade at 144 Geelong Road, Torquay. The clinic is part of the larger Corio Bay Health Group which has 10 clinics in Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine, and is regional Victoria’s largest Allied Health Group. Adrian Deans, who owns Torquay Physiotherapy, has been treating Torquay locals for over 10 years and is happy to see both repeat and new clients for their physical injuries. “We can quickly diagnose physical complaints and offer a range of treatment methods to help, including mobilisation, manipulation, massage, exercise and electrotherapy,” Mr Deans said. “We also offer dry needling using acupuncture needles, injury prevention advice and have a well equipped rehabilitation gym including Pilates trapeze and reformer.” People of all ages and with all sorts of conditions can be helped by the experienced physiotherapists at Torquay Physiotherapy Clinic. There are five physiotherapists – Mark Napper, Aubrey Francis, Melanie Le Page and Liam Donnelly – who work from the clinic each with their own special interests and skills, while busy office manager, Cheryl Leijer can assist clients to see the right physio for their injury. The clinic is open from 8am with evening sessions Monday and Thursday and Saturday morning until 12pm. Surfcoast Podiatry, owned by Rebecca Johnson, is also located at the new premises

Businesses to tackle depression SMALL TO medium businesses are being encouraged to take part in a free training program to prevent and manage depression and anxiety in the workplace. A beyondblue intitaitive, the Business in Mind program provides owners and managers of SMBs with a free DVD and resource kit to help them manage mental health problems in the workplace. The program centres upon effective stress management, work-life balance and positive relationship building and, according to beyondblue chairman Jeff Kennett, it is essential training for all small businesses. “This is an important initiative to help those in small business, with an illness that could affect business, profits and staff,” Mr. Kennett said. beyondblue national workplace program manager Therese Fitzpatrick said beyondblue recognises SMBs have different pressures to larger organisations, and need targeted easy-toaccess information about mental health in the workplace. “Due to time and resource constraints, and heavy workloads, SMB owners are often reluctant to set aside time for a structured workshop. “The program aims to equip SMB managers with the skills to identify signs of depression and anxiety, and promote safe, healthy working environments,” Ms Fitzpatrick said. Executive director of the Council of Small Business of Australia Peter Strong said there is a need to increase access to the kind of personal support that is available to employees in big business. “People in the small business sector face enormous financial pressures and a whole range of stresses which can negatively affect their health and create a stressful work environment for staff,” Mr Strong said. Business in Mind has been made possible by an Australian Research Council linkage grant and funding from beyondblue and Workcover Tasmania. To sign up for the free resource kit go to www. businessinmind.edu.au, and for information about depression, anxiety and related conditions visit www.beyondblue.org.au, or call 1300 224 636.

Park the left brain, do some soul collage LORNE-APHILE and art-therapist Tina Christensen is bringing “play� to the beach with two workshops (or playshops as she prefers to call them) in the September school holidays. The workshops are called SoulCollage MAMA and Touch Drawing and will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Lorne, 25-28 September. Mrs Christensen says SoulCollage MAMA uses images, imagination and intuition to connect with inner knowing. “For mamas young and old, this is an amazing tool or process for moving through transitions,� she said. “Because it’s so effective with transitions, I have developed a programme called SoulCollage Next Steps for families coming out of separation and wanting to move forward but not sure just where to next. “It’s empowering to experience having the answers to questions come from within, to know that it’s really possible.� Conversely, Touch Drawing is about the power of touch to connect with the stillness within. “For people who love the idea of meditation but

can’t do the crossed legs, this is probably just what they’ve been looking for,� Mrs Christensen said. “Gentle, delicious, and a bringer of tranquillity. It is pragmatic, creative and fabulous.� Mrs Christensen is a keen advocate of play for adults, and is presenting a paper at the Creative Methods: Widening the World of Work conference at the Abbotsford Convent next month. “It’s about unwinding the mind, engaging the right brain and parking the left brain for a bit. The opposite of play is not work. It’s depression.� “Research is showing that there are direct correlations between increased sociopathic behaviour and poor or no play. Hence this series of ‘playshops’. “The greatest gift for our children is for them to experience us laughing hysterically, shining, passionate. It is the one thing that can inspire them to want to ‘grow up’, knowing that life doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. They can keep playing!� Cost for one day is $129, additional day(s) $89. For more information and bookings visit www. thepowerofplay.com.au or call 0407 553 386.

Adults at play: SoulCollage uses images, imagination and intuition to connect with inner knowing.

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome day urges no drinks for mums BY ALISON DEANE LAST WEEK’S Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Day drew awareness to the dangers of alcohol consumption by women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mothers across the Bellarine and Surf Coast were reminded of the importance of abstaining from alcohol during these times, in order to avoid what is now the biggest cause of brain damage in newborns. Federal Member of Parliament, Dr Sharman

Epic Health Medical Clinic New opening hours Monday to Friday 8.30am - 9pm Saturday 9am - 6pm Sunday 10am – 5pm

Stone, said drinking is not something pregnant women should contemplate. “It is very worrying that women and girls in Australia are still not aware of the dangers of drinking while pregnant. “Foetal Alcohol Syndrome not only leaves the baby with irreversible and permanent brain damage, but it can also affect the child and adult’s capacity to hold down a job, live independently and enjoy the best things about life,� said Ms Stone. Falling annually on the 9th day of the 9th month,

Dr. Ben Tipper B.App.Sc.Chiropractic B.App.Sc.(Clin) MCAA MCOCA

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Day symbolises the term of a pregnancy, and reminds mothers-to-be that abstaining from drinking can significantly reduce the dangers and problems associated for newborns. Ms Stone said a motion highlighting the problem of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome in Australia has just been passed through the Senate and should soon go through the House of Representatives. “This motion will call on the government to better communicate the dangers of alcohol consumption mixed with pregnancy.

“We need to educate health service professionals, the police, teachers and all of those who may come into contact with people suffering from Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. This will give better support for those who are victims of their mother’s drinking, possibly facing a life of extra challenges and difficulties. “It is also very good news that some alcohol and beer companies have recently volunteered to label their bottles and cans with warnings about pregnancy and alcohol consumption.�

NED FAIRLIE LANDSCAPE GARDENER

Fairlie good at gardening NED FAIRLIE has been providing reliable landscape gardening to clients on the Bellarine Peninsula for six years. After moving from King Island to Portarlington, Fairlie set up his business – Ned Fairlie Landscape Gardener – and now specialises in the grass slashing of vacant house blocks and servicing gardens of lifestyle and large premium properties. Qualified in horticulture, Fairlie can provide all aspects of garden maintenance and new garden construction “I am passionate about creating new gardens that are usable and functional of the owner’s needs,� Fairlie said. “Using only high quality materials and ensuring that I work in the local area I can always be on hand to provide

the very best customer service.� Fairlie also provides machine operations with front end loader work, grass slashing, rotary hoeing, mowing of large areas and crushed rock paths and driveways. “We have all of the tools of the trade from hedgers to tractors,� he said. The business is Portarlington based but all equipment is transportable to any site across the Bellarine Peninsula. Fairlie is currently providing discounts on all ongoing contracts and can be contacted on 0429 142 228 seven days a week. The business operates from Friday to Saturday but Fairlie is happy to meet clients and offer quotes across the weekend.

Kicking goals with Auskick BY LUKE GRIFFITHS WHAT’S BETTER than helping kids kick the footy? Winning an award for helping kids kick the footy. That’s what local resident and former Torquay player Tony Page has done after being named as the winner of the NAB AFL Auskick Volunteer of the Year award for the Geelong region. Every Sunday during the football season Mr Page coordinated Torquay’s Auskick activities for more than 260 children at local venues that included Spring Creek Reserve and Jan Juc oval. “My son started Auskick when he was four or five and I got brought along to help out and I suppose it just developed from there,� Mr Page said. “I’ve got three children and they’ve all done Auskick. Even my oldest daughter got dragged along on a Sunday as her mum had to work so she had no other choice.� In addition to NAB’s sponsorship of the program, local groups donated money throughout the year that helped provide many necessary resources, including a $2,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Bayside Geelong. “We recognise that the volunteers are what keep programs such as Auskick alive and well,� local NAB representative Kylie Scott said. “We’re pleased to present this award to Tony in appreciation of his commitment to the Auskick program.� Despite the honour, Mr Page is keen to downplay its significance, instead citing children’s enjoyment as his main motivation. “It is a privilege to receive this award. To be able to bring to life the Auskick program in our local community is extremely fulfilling as you can see first-hand just how much the kids enjoy it every week.� There are 2,800 Auskick centres nationally that cater for 168,000 children that aims to develop and promote participation in Australian rules football.

Surf Coast semi-final matches U13 Boys: Surf Coast Blues 0 - 1 Geelong Rangers Captained by Mathew Lloyd, the Blues displayed courage, commitment and camaraderie in their semi-final against Geelong Rangers. The boys played their positions well, maintained strong defence in the backline and had several good tries early on. The opposition were strong and at half time the score was nil-all. Plenty of action continued in the second half with hard knocks and rough tumbles. With only minutes to go it was down to the wire: a nail biting finish was in store with both teams desperate to score. The sound of the whistle was met with gasps from the side lines. The penalty shoot out saw a stellar effort by Jamie Van De Berg, Luke Lloyd, Steve Tsatsaronis, Oliver Rose-Gregg and Fergus White – all of whom handled the pressure in their stride and scored three goals from five kicks, just missing out. Although disappointed, the boys held their heads high in support of each other and respect for the winning side. The season ended on a high note thanks to the great coaching efforts and encouragement from Coach Geoff Lloyd

and exceptional team manager, Lisa Tsataronis. Thanks go out to all the parents and friends who supported the boys and ferried them to games week after week. Finally, congratulations to all players on a fantastic end of season. U13 Girls: Surf Coast Blues 7 - 0 Barwon Surf Coast attacked the ball early and were rewarded with five superb goals in the first half. Coby McInereny kicked an amazing four, with Taylah Hefford adding to the score with one. The second half saw Amy Suessmeir and Coby kick one more each. Barwon fought a hard game, chasing and defending well, but congratulations goes to Surf Coast. Well done girls and good luck with the grand final next week. U13 Boys: Division 1 Surf Coast Blues 3 – 1 Barwon In a very physical match Surf Coast players fought the wind and an attacking Barwon, before winning their way into the grand final. Congratulations to all players and good luck playing against Corio Bay. Goals kicked by Victor Ostrowsky, Jordon Gibson and Brodric Von Brandenstein.

Big Weekend for the Waves! It has been a fantastic season for the Surfside Waves Soccer Club with numerous teams winning league titles and competing in finals. The Division 2 Senior Men won the league and face off in a home semi-final next week. The Senior Women were not to be outdone, also taking the league title with a win in the final league match, clinching top spot and a home final. The U15 Boys took out the league championship and won their semi-final to move into next weekend’s grand final. The U12 Boys were unlucky to narrowly go down in their semi-final in a high scoring game against Surf Coast Yellow. Unfortunately the U15 Girls also lost a tight semi-final encounter to Surf Coast. The U13 Girls took the league title and moved into the grand final, following a 5-1 win over Bell Park Red. This is an outstanding effort for a small club.

JUNIOR SEMI-FINALS RESULTS U15 Boys: Surfside 3 - 0 Surfcoast Another great performance by the boys. They need to maintain focus on the grand final and cap off a top season with the premiership. U12 Boys: Surfside 3 - 4 Surf Coast Yellow Great effort to come back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 at half time. Surf Coast piled on the pressure in the second half scoring twice to take a 4-3 lead. The Waves fought hard but couldn’t find an equaliser. The boys have improved immensely over the season and did well to make the finals. U15 Girls: Surfside 0 - 2 Surf Coast A very tight encounter between two very even teams could have gone either way. The Waves battled hard with only 11 players to really push Surf Coast. Well done girls!

Senior Men: Surfside d Corio Bay Surfside was awarded the match on forfeit: not ideal preparation for next week’s semi-final but finishing on top the boys should be full of confidence.

U13 Girls: Surfside 5 -1 Bell Park Red The girls showed why they finished on top of the ladder in a commanding performance against Bell Park Red, and are very excited to be playing in their first grand final. Well done to all clubs and coaches involved.

Senior Women: Surfside 3 - 0 Breakwater Eagles The Waves proved that they were a class unit with a fantastic performance under immense pressure in the race for the title.

Small Sided Games Waves U11 Red Vs Barwon Red Waves U11 Blue Vs Barwon Yellow The U9’s have completed their season.

Torquay’s Michael Brown proudly wears his Cole Medal after winning the BFL reserves best and fairest by one vote.

Brown wins Cole Medal BY LUKE GRIFFITHS LEAGUE BEST and fairest, tick. Club best and fairest, tick. Premiership medal, possibly. Torquay reserves player Michael Brown won the Bellarine Football League’s Cole Medal with 15 votes, one ahead of Anglesea’s Lucas Cameron. The league award complemented Brown’s runaway victory in the Torquay reserves best and fairest count held in late August. Brown struggled with soft-tissue injuries

early in the season and only managed 11 games for the season, which made the league award even more special. “You never know what’s going to happen in a best and fairest. I knew I had had a couple of decent games but because I missed a few games at the start of the year I didn’t rate my chances,” Brown said. “It turned out to be a pretty good night for me, although I had to take off early because I had to work in Box Hill the next morning. Hopefully we can have a good win in the grand final against Modewarre this weekend.”

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB

WITH BRIAN HAZELL

What a difference a week makes. From the frenetic pace of the extremely successful Carnival of Golf last week, to life as usual at the Portarlington Golf Club. As we settled the dust and waved our visitors farewell for another year, the men started the week proper on Tuesday with a par round. Dave McKeon claimed D Grade plus the trophy of the day with a great 6 up. In the A Grade battle of the Franks, Wheat won on the count-back, with he and Carter both 2 up, B grade saw C Evans 6 up and the C winner was Ian Fulton with 5 up. On Wednesday the ladies played a stroke round with a monthly medal thrown in. Dorothy Emerson emerged as the proud recipient with a terrific 70 nett. Congrats Dorothy. Helen Powe claimed A Grade with 71 and in C Grade, Jocie Mather defeated Philomena Rogers on

Men’s competition The men were greeted with strong winds on Saturday for the monthly medal and the first round of the senior and junior club championships. David Mallett won A Grade with a nett 72 off a handicap of three from playing partner Dick Hammett who had a 76. Chris Pickett had the best round of the day to win the medal and B Grade with a wonderful 69 from Laurie Gudykunst who had a 70. Paul Eddy won NTP on the 5th, while Gary Kerr took out the double winning NTP on the 7th and 17th and Luke Vasallo was closest on the 13th. The senior club championships (aged 55 plus, and apologies to those members who I insulted!) is played over two rounds, in conjunction with the September and October medal rounds. David Mallett has a handy lead after the opening round, shooting a 75 to lead by nine shots from Mike Trickey, with Dick Hammett two shots

(Queenscliff GC) and Joe Magliano.

And you wouldn’t believe the winner of the comp, it was one of our youngest juniors, Tom Powell with +3, adults beware! Only one NTP went off, Ted Fitzpatrick on the 8th.

Weekend results Saturday was stableford and it was another windy day – but the scoring was still hot. The winner of A Grade was Ross Duff on a count-back with 39 points, B Grade was topped by Geoff Richmond with 43 points, Noel Jaques defeated all comers in C Grade with 44 points and D Grade went to Ward Szymczak with 43 points. NTPs were awarded to Michael Nemeth, Noel Jaques, Rod Papworth, Ross Duff and the jackpot was won by Evan Huebner. There were two eagles, one on the 9th hole by Jai Whittington and on the 16th by Craig Brinsdon. Ladies winner was Sue Booth with 40 points, Sue is taking shot after shot off her handicap, awesome work! NTPs went to Ainsley McCallum, Marilyn Young, Yvonne Dean and Lyn Brady. As wet, windy and cold as it was we still managed to have 18 brave souls play in Sunday’s competition.

Golf shop The juniors played four holes on Sunday afternoon as part of a new program and it was enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. The winner for the four holes was Campbell Devine and the runner up was Jack Moran. All kids were excited to meet some new friends on the course and they all won a new golf ball for their fine efforts. We hope to see them back again next Sunday in preparation for the Junior Pump Golf Shootout to be held on September 25 – call the golf shop on 5261 2506 for details. Golf Week tee times are filling quickly, all players are encouraged to enter their forms as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

GOLFERS have experienced weather extremes this week – from glorious sunshine to hail and everything in between.

The Sands Golf Club

runner-up was Sue Hazell, 73 on a count-back from Sue Handley. Sue Hazell also claimed the putting with 31 while Glenis Ranger shot the NTP on the 5th. However, Jeanette remains in top form this week taking home NTP on the 17th, the Pro Pin as well as best gross. For the men, a medal was in the mix for them, however there was no outright winner so there’ll be a playoff ahead for Keith Giles and Josh Kent, both 67 nett. Josh was A Grade winner, B Grade went to Norm Evans, 69, C Keith Giles and D winner was Ray King 70. In very windy conditions on Sunday the members played stableford. Miller Gelic won the day with an impressive 39 points. Go the mighty Blues!

WITH MICHAEL CLANCY

Midweek results TUESDAY was back to winter again and the ladies were quite happy to get the 18 holes in without too much rain. The four-ball competition winners were Sue Booth and Dee Matheson with +11, while runners-up were Christine Rudd and Trish Morris with +9. NTPs went to Inge Oliver, Lyn Brady, Kathy Simson and June Laidler while the jackpot on the 13th hole was taken out by Yvonne Mazylis. TGC hosted the Men’s Guest Day on Wednesday that included two shotgun starts and a BBQ buffet: a fantastic turn out with 156 players, including 38 guests. The Member/Member winners were Fred and Ken Allan with 51 points and the Member/Guest prize was won by James Ellis (Barwon Valley) and Alan Scholten with 50 points. NTPs went to James Ellis (Barwon Valley GC), Michael Lunney, Philip Smith, Albert Wilkinson (Sunshine GC), Bill Bond, Christopher Wright

count-back, both 72 nett. Ange Foott returning after a very successful country teams assault continued her merry winning ways by putting her name to best gross (89) and NTP 17th as well as the Pro Pin. Helen Barry and Shirley Bergin shot the other NTPs while Yvonne Casey putted her way to a win with Sandy Paddle pocketing the other Pro Pin. Thursday turned into a great day for Kenny Hughes, returning a fantastic 46 points. Ian Pardy may have thought his 44 would have been enough, but Kenny put that thought to bed. 11 hole winner was pretty impressive as well, Dick Tresize would have been happy with his 44 after adjustment. Members Saturday arrived with gale force winds all day and with a diminished field taking to the fairways they battled as best they could. Barbie Schwarz shot a fantastic 69 nett, while

further back. David had a day to remember as he also won the NTP on the knockout hole, by having a hole in one! On medal days, a special NTP event will be held on the knockout hole with the winner to receive a $25 voucher to use at Hanners Restaurant. The event is open to all members, regardless of whether you have played in the day’s competition or not. The event will be staged late in the afternoon so mark it in your diary. It was a great day for golf on Wednesday and there were some excellent scores for the par event. Laurie Gudykunst won with 5 up from a large group of players on 4 up. Peter Poteralski claimed runner-up on a countback with 4 up. Colin Chinn and Andy Samu won the NTPs. Women’s competition Despite the lack of a lunch menu the women had plenty to smile about on Thursday with a perfect day for golf. Heather Smith won the par event with 3 up from Sarah Tokolyi on 2 up. Sue Browne won NTP on the 7th while Marie Powell took the honours on the 13th. This week

the women will play a four-ball stableford event with partners to be drawn. Check the website for tee off times. It was the survival of the fittest on Saturday with many women electing to come in after nine holes with the wind howling and the rain falling. Carol McDonald withstood the elements to win with 35 points from Merle Whitnall on 32. Pro-shop news Next week the Pro Shop will be having a huge sale on golf balls, so its time to clean out the golf bag and get rid of all those old unwanted balls. There’s been plenty of banter with the football finals, with several clubs represented by adoring fans. Bad luck to Serena and her beloved Bombers, while Frank still can’t stop smiling about his Blues. Kate and her Weagles get a second chance, as does Steve and the winged Hawks. Meanwhile, Tybin and Browny are purring away, lapping up last Friday’s victory, waiting for their next opponent. Happy golfing!

Tigers sizzle in last quarter BY LUKE GRIFFITHS A REMARKABLE final quarter display has put the Torquay reserves side into this week’s grand final. Trailing arch rival Ocean Grove by three points at the final break, the Tigers kicked six goals to one in the last quarter to run away 27 point winners. At a wind-swept Drysdale ground, Torquay had only kicked three goals in the first three quarters and was struggling with its ball use. Conversely, Ocean Grove kicked three goals with the wind in the first quarter, yet managed only two more for the rest of the game. “I gave the boys a bit of a rev up at three quarter time, but it was more a case

of them realising what they were playing for,” Torquay coach Luke Cormack said. “It was the best football we have played all year. Our tackling, smothering – all the one-percenters – were unbelievable in that last quarter.” Jake Powell was best-on-ground, and was ably assisted by Jonathan Hobbs and Tyler Lovell. Brent Dixon and Timothy Dickson both kicked two goals for the victors. For the Grubbers, Roscoe Portelli and Timothy Baker were their side’s best, while Andrew Lowson kicked two goals. Torquay will have the home-ground advantage at this week’s grand final against Modewarre and Cormack is confident that the Tigers can win its first reserves premiership since 2005.

“I think playing at home is a big advantage for us. We like the big grounds and have been running out games really well lately. We’ve beaten Modewarre once already this season and we’re confident we can do that again on Saturday. “Selection will be tough. We have about 30 guys to choose from so a few are going to have to miss out.” Meanwhile, Torquay’s Under 18s team (pictured right) enjoyed a week off and look forward to facing Geelong Amateurs in the grand final. Amateurs caused a major surprise by defeating Drysdale by 29 points in Saturday’s preliminary final. Drysdale were undefeated during the home and away season with a percentage of 350, but failed to win a final after Torquay defeated them last week.

Torquay Under 18 players Pierson Bennett, Jesse Dawson, Paul Burchell, Jai Tweedale, David Allitt, Mackenzie Burns and Adam Gross have all had a taste of senior football action this year. Torquay will play Amateurs in this weekend’s under 18 grand final.

Queenscliff into grand final BY LUKE GRIFFITHS QUEENSCLIFF comfortably won its way through to this year’s Bellarine Football League grand final, defeating Anglesea by 44 points at Drysdale on Saturday. It will be Queenscliff’s first grand final appearance since 1977. The Coutas were just one point up at half-time, but kicked five goals to one in the third quarter and were clearly the better side in the second half. “I don’t know why but the boys were a bit flat in the first half. We got stuck into them a bit during the main break and to their credit they responded,” Quennscliff coach Heath Jamieson said. Stuart Whitelaw continued his fine finals form with a best-on-ground performance, while Queenscliff captain Tom Limb kicked two goals and was one of his team’s best players. For Anglesea, Marcus Smith kicked

three goals was his team’s only multiple goal kicker. Luke Adams – recruited mid-season from Daylesford – was one of the Roos’ best, along with Jarrod Whitten and Joel Tipping. Queenscliff will now face off against Geelong Amateurs in the grand final at Torquay this weekend. “We beat Torquay by more than 100 points there during the season so we’re definitely happy that the grand final’s being played there,” Jamieson said. “We’re confident in our own ability and we know that we can beat any team if we play to our strengths.” The grand finalists faced off in the second round of the finals, with Amateurs winning by 45 points. Jason Tom, runner-up in last week’s Ash Medal, kicked eight goals for Amateurs that day and Tim Clark kicked four, however, Jamieson said his team has the capabilities to reverse that result.

TIDE TIMES

WELL ONCE again another snapper season is almost upon us and, as I have reported before, Fisheries have advised all of us that we can expect a bumper season based upon the expectations of our better managed and maintained snapper resources. Fisheries with recreational fisherman and commercial fisherman are working to ensure those stocks are maintained and as part of that program, fisheries are again promoting 13FISH, the 24-hour reporting line for illegal fishing activity. It is proving a winner with resource conscious Victorians. Fisheries Victoria Executive Director, Anthony Hurst, said that since the inception of 13FISH in 2003 almost 15,000 calls have been recorded from all over the state. “These calls have led to the prosecution of, or issuing of on-the-spot fines to nearly 1,100 individuals,” Mr Hurst said. As a result of one call, fisheries officers were able to plan and conduct an operation that led to the arrest of three men for illegally using a mesh net to take 832 fish, 709 of which were undersize. The men pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay $30,000 including fines and compensation. “The 13FISH brand is now well recognised and supported by Victorian fishers and the broader community,” Mr Hurst said. “The government has committed $500,000 (up from $300,000) to continue and enhance this program to support the future of recreational and commercial fishing in Victorian waters and dependent businesses. “13FISH provides the community with an

opportunity to help protect fisheries resources and is a key part of our fisheries compliance program.” This comprises community engagement and education, high profile (uniform) and plainclothes Fisheries’ officer patrols, intelligence collection and targeted investigations. These are all underpinned by significant statutory penalties, jail sentences, forfeiture and enhanced officer powers. Manager of Strategic Intelligence in Fisheries Victoria, Ian Parks said the reporting line provided a single point of contact for the public to report fisheries offences as well as provide valuable intelligence. “We are not able to always respond to information immediately, however, the information is vital to help plan education activities, patrols, operations and investigations,” Mr Parks said. So everyone, it’s a timely reminder for all of us. Make sure your fishing licences are up to date don’t forget to check if yours is still current. Remember also that we who want to continue enjoying our sport have a responsibility not only to ourselves but to our kids who also want to fish and their kids in the future. Stay within catch bag limits, ensure you continue to take only legal size fish and most of all enjoy your fishing and know you are doing the right thing. A reminder, if you have some REAL Catches you want to send in please forward them to the email address below, with the type of fish, weight, length, location and your name.
