Local industry struggling to survive due to hefty rate increases

BY ALISON MARTIN THE FUTURE of the Bellarine’s bed and breakfast industry is under threat unless changes are made to council rating criteria, according to tourism operators and authorities. Small B&B operators who have joined tourism groups and promoted themselves on websites – drawing attention to their businesses – have had their properties reclassified from residential to multi-use this year by City of Greater Geelong and face a rate increase of more than a third. Bellarine Tourism chair, Hugo Armstrong, said many B&B owners who made only minimal income from a cottage or room they rented had decided their business was no longer viable after council changed

their rating classification. He said a significant number of operators had indicated they would not be renewing their Bellarine Tourism membership and were no longer interested in providing accommodation for the growing number of visitors to the region. “Bellarine Tourism and Geelong Otway Tourism are aware of the situation and we have huge concerns,” Armstrong said. “I’ve spoken with a lot of operators and a number have already ceased business. “However, while it’s unfortunate that it has affected a lot of smaller businesses across the whole Bellarine, there have also been some large operators make high revenue off their property and paying residential rates.”

Armstrong said previously, some operators were running successful businesses and not paying a rate proportionate to their business, but the pendulum had swung too far the other way and small businesses were now being expected to pay corporate rates. He called on CoGG to reassess the rating classification for all B&B owners. “It should be on a sliding scale. I can’t see why there can’t be an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ rate,” Armstrong said. “As a tourism body we look at the size of the business and their membership is charged accordingly. Operators could sign a Statutory Declaration or an accountant’s letter to show the size of the business. “Or it could be easily based on the number of beds. If an operator has one or two beds they should

not have to pay the same rates on their property as someone with a number of cottages. “People need to write to their local councillors and MPs with their concerns.” CoGG financial services manager, Mike Kelly, said people also had the opportunity to appeal rating classification or property valuation by contacting the city. He said the Mixed Use rating classification had been in place for many years. “Properties are classified as Mixed Use if its occupants conduct a business from home, such as a Bed and Breakfast,” Kelly said. Contact CoGG on 5272 5272 for more information on your rates. Send your views to Letters to the Editor at editor@bellarinetimes.com.au

Seaside park start THE TRANSFORMATION of Queenscliff’s foreshore parks has started, thanks to a $340,000 investment from the State Government’s Small Towns Development Fund. Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, and Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor, Bob Merriman, launched stage one of the Queenscliff Parks Development Project by turning the first sod. The major infrastructure upgrade of the adjoining Princess Park and Citizens Park will include the reconstruction of Thwaites Walk, linking the Queenscliff Pier to Queenscliff Fort with improved safety fencing along the cliff edge. Car parks will be upgraded, toilet amenities will be improved including new disabled facilities and landscaping and signage will be included in the works programme. Neville said the government understood the popularity of Queenscliff’s foreshore parks and was committed to making them even better for locals and the thousands of tourists who visited the area. “The completion of this project will deliver a much-needed upgrade, improved public amenities and better pathways to key attractions,” Neville said. “The infrastructure upgrade will mean locals and visitors will have a much better connection from the parks to the town’s popular attractions such as the pier and historic fort.”

Neville said there would be significant benefits from the project, with stage one expected to create six full-time equivalent jobs during construction. “The foreshore area is a major tourist attraction and on completion of the project we expect an increase in visitor numbers,” she said. “This will have a positive effect on local businesses and contribute to the overall economic development of the Borough of Queenscliffe.” The State Government will also contribute a $7,500 grant from its Planning for Growth Fund towards a Queenscliff Public Facilities Development Plan. “The borough will develop the plan, which involves identifying and revitalising key assets, such as the Queenscliff’s Princess Park kiosk and Point Lonsdale’s Engine Shed,” Neville said. “This $15,000 plan is consistent with Ready for Tomorrow – A Blueprint for Regional and Rural Victoria, the Victorian Government’s new $631million policy to generate new opportunities and build a prosperous and sustainable future for regional and rural Victoria. “Ready for Tomorrow includes new initiatives that will create more jobs, improve tertiary education opportunities, boost businesses and industries. And that’s a great outcome for communities such as Queenscliff.”

Count complete BY ALISON MARTIN MORE than three weeks after Australia went to the polls, counting for the Corangamite electorate was completed yesterday and the poll is expected to be officially declared on Thursday. Returned Member for Corangamite and Torquay resident, Darren Cheesman, claimed the seat last week after he was confident enough votes had been counted to predict a win for the Australian Labor Party. While negotiations between major party leaders and key Independent MPs have continued, the “too close to call” seat of Corangamite became a crucial win for the Gillard Federal Government in what has been the closest election in history. Cheeseman has also stamped his name in the history books as the only ALP candidate to be reelected to represent Corangamite for a second term. In claiming victory last week, after a few nervous weeks of scrutineering, Cheeseman thanked the people who gave him their primary vote or their preference and put their faith in him to again represent them. “Corangamite is a classic Australian electorate where the vast bulk of people do not classify themselves as Labor or Liberal diehards, but they have their hopes and dreams for themselves and their children. “They want their government to provide opportunities for a good and decent life, and if possible, a chance for some of their hopes to be realised. “I believe the best way to deliver hope is through education and community engagement, so schools, trades training, building Deakin University and our

sporting and community infrastructure will remain my core focus,” Cheeseman said. After weeks of counting and an extremely close result, Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson, yesterday, she said she acknowledged Cheeseman had won the seat and was “obviously disappointed, as any candidate would be”.

“But I’m very proud of my campaign and the swing towards us. I recorded a strong primary vote, but after distribution of Greens preferences to the Labor Party, they have got over the line,” she said. Henderson admitted while she did not like to give up on anything, it was too early to be considering standing again or any other future decisions.

Bellarine roads being ‘ignored’ LIBERAL candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, claims a $10million State Government road funding announcement for the western region “ignores the Bellarine”. Despite a federal election result not yet finalised, the November state election campaign is now set to start to intensify after being left on the back-burner when the snap decision to send Australian voters to the polls was made. However, the latest round of state funding has already received criticism from the Opposition. “Of the $10million announced, only one project is allocated for the Bellarine, being a new set of traffic lights on the Bellarine Highway at Moolap that no-one wants and at a massive cost of $420,000,” Reiter said. “Most northern Bellarine residents believe the Rail Trail traffic lights in Curlewis are laughable and yet of the $10million announced two days ago by the government, the only project on the Bellarine will be another set of traffic lights that no doubt will be as unpopular.” He said the government’s decision to spend millions of dollars on roads – with no significant improvements for the Bellarine – was the result of the government not considering it a marginal seat. “It is time to make the Bellarine marginal and make it count,” he said. “The roads on the Bellarine are in a terrible state.” Reiter said he was extremely disappointed the government had no money to spend on Bellarine roads “let alone larger projects such as the Drysdale Bypass or additional bike lanes”.

ADVERTORIAL FOR TELSTRA COMMUNITY NEWS FOR GEELONG AND SURF COAST

As part of our 10 - Year Celebrations we opened the doors of our Geelong Exchange for the first time to give locals a rare ‘behind the scenes’ look at how we connect thousands of calls per day throughout the Geelong region. With many people from the community taking the opportunity to see the wonderful work that occurs everyday from our field services staff, our customers thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One of our Community Partners, Barwon Youth, also had its fantastic Street Surfer Bus on show (refer picture below). Shane Murphy, Executive Director of Barwon Youth, said Telstra’s support of his Street Surfer Bus had made a huge difference to the lives of the region’s youth. “Through Telstra’s support and advancements in technology, we now have wireless internet access, remote television reception, electronic games equipment, two Play Stations, a DVD player, sound system and three flat screen LCDs,” he said. “Telstra’s continued innovation means that we can give our young people a happy, interactive and supportive place to come and assist those in need,” he added. Locals also had the opportunity to talk to our local Telstra Country Wide team and learn about some of the major telecommunications changes that have occurred over the last 10 years. It was a great experience for all our team to open up our exchange and share our 10-year anniversary with the people of Geelong.

Bookings are now being taken for The Atrium’s Spanish night on Friday, September 24, with a seafood night on October 15 and Tapas on November 19.

vocals that reflect his natural talent as a performer and entertainer. “His debut EP Follow Me was released in late 2006, Tom has been gigging with local blues and roots musicians and toured as part of the Young Guns of Blues for two months in early 2008,” Scot said. “Come in and enjoy some fabulous food and sensational local wines while enjoying the sounds of Tom's powerful vocals.” Circle your calendar on Sunday, October 3, when Luke Watt will perform at The Atrium and Shaun Kirk will entertain on Sunday, November 7. Contact Nikki and Scot at The Atrium on 5258 3626 for more information on the Spring Sensation Monthly live music sessions and themed dining – like sessions or bookings for the Spanish or other September’s Spanish night – are just some of the themed cuisine nights. exciting new attractions at The Atrium.

leopold family festa

Tuesday 7 September 2010

Leopold festa proves a success TORRENTIAL rain and gale force winds were put on hold on Saturday, ensuring the Leopold Primary School Family Fun Festa was a huge success. THOUSANDS ignored the forecast and arrived early to be rewarded with indoor and outdoor entertainment, activities and a fabulous atmosphere. There was a smorgasbord of a delicious range of food, with the school demonstrating its adaptability and making space in classrooms for the many stalls, stands and displays.

The festa was the major fundraiser for the year, sponsored by Bellarine Times, Leopold Bendigo Community Bank, Barry Plant Real Estate, EQ Hire and many other local businesses. Staff, students, parents and friends of the school worked tirelessly to organise and host the festa, particularly facing the Bellarineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildest weekends in a decade.

Pictured clockwise: Indoor activities proved as popular as those outdoor with this group of girls; Jay and Andy were happy to explore the plants on offer; the slide was a hit for all ages; Rebekah had a go at the lucky dip; while Angela, Sharon and Suzi were happy to lend a helping hand for the festa.

Sweet ambition BY RACHEL DELANY

PASSION pours from Torquay’s Shelley Vescio as she describes the alchemy of her cake decorating. “It’s so great, people come to me with these great ideas and from somewhere I can’t explain the designs come out. I just love it,” Vescio said. Vescio has been decorating cakes for over a decade. It was her love for family and friends that inspired her sweet ambition. “I used to call myself ‘Cakes for Love’ as I did it for no money and simply for the joy of it, and from there it has evolved into a wonderful business that I’ve called Cakes by the Beach,” Vescio said.

Vescio worked in Melbourne for three years in a bakery decorating cakes and refining her professional skills. And, with no brief too strange, Vescio will put any idea into a cake. Vescio is able to cater to allergies and any sensitivities, and uses all the highest quality ingredients, and typically uses butter-cream, soft icings, fruit cake, traditional almond icing and says white mud cake is very popular right now. Vescio puts her heart and soul into her work and finds it very satisfying. “It is such an honour to be part of people’s celebrations and I feel very much a part of it as I create their cake,” she said. Indulge your sweet tooth by contacting Vescio on 0437 823 789 and prepare for a slice of heaven.

Koala care on coast

THIS month is Save the Koala Month and this year the Australian Koala Foundation is hoping to celebrate it with koala lovers from all over the world, including on the Surf Coast and Bellarine. The region is home to a number of koala species that need human help to ensure continued existence. With wild koala numbers estimated to be less than 80,000 and possibly as low as 43, 000 the AKF is asking everybody to help raise awareness of the plight of our much loved, globally famous and rapidly disappearing national icon by taking an active role in Save the Koala Month. The Australian Koala Foundation’s Deborah Tabart said Koalas were common in Wye River but just because there were still sightings it didn’t mean our furry friends were ‘out of the woods’. Tabart said the focus for this year’s bid to raise awreness and funds was to run an environmentally friendly online campaign to minimise costs and environmental impact . “We are encouraging everyone from all around the

world to visit www.savethekoala.com to find out how they can help” Tabart said. “We have made it easy to donate online with the introduction of Pay Pal and to show our appreciation we are emailing people who make a donation over $30 a beautiful personalised thank you certificate featuring Hilda, one of our cutest foster koalas.” Businesses who want to help out can also put a very cute “Donate Today” button on their website that directly links to the Save the Koala Month donation page. “We are encouraging people to join our Facebook fan page Save the Australian Koala and for those who prefer face to face social networking and fundraising we want you to get creative… make cupcakes for work, hold a cuppa for koalas morning tea, a sausage sizzle, garage sale, dress casual for koalas, swim, run, bike ride for the koala. “Every little bit helps us raise much need funds and awareness for the plight of the wild koala” Tabart said.

Jump into water park GET YOUR hair wet at “the biggest and best aquatic centre in regional Victoria”. The $31million Leisurelink Aquatic and Recreation Centre in Waurn Ponds opens today. The pool hall, gym and health club facilities include a 50-metre indoor competition standard pool, learn to swim pool, spa, toddlers’ pool and hydro/exercise pool, as well as gym and exercise facilities. City of Greater Geelong Mayor, John Mitchell, was excited about the opening of the new facility. “The new Leisurelink will be the biggest and best aquatic centre in regional Victoria,” Mitchell said. It will cater to current and future residents – from the fitness fanatics and serious swimmers

right through to those who just want to have a splash around. “It’s been a long time in the making but I assure you it will be worth the wait. Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, said with summer just around the corner local residents would take full advantage of the “fantastic community facility that I am sure will be well received and utilised by hundreds of local families”. The City of Greater Geelong provided $28million for the new Leisurelink and the State Government has contributed $2million plus the 50-metre legacy pool. In one month’s time the water park will open with a free family fun day for 5,000-plus

members and 2,000 swim students. The water park will have theme park style waterslides including the 12.5-metre high Cannon Bowl, which features a large bowl that swirls swimmers around before dropping them out of a hole. Also 12.5 metres high, the Black Hole waterslide is a twisting tube ride in total darkness until swimmers reach the final splashdown. There is also a water adventure park with water cannons, an overhead tipping bucket and a spinning water wheel, plus a rubber-floored splash pad with water shooting from fountains and jets. The entire park is undercover so that it can be used year-round, regardless of the weather.

Geelong Mayor John Mitchell and Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield share a joke during the pool’s construction.

Jump in – the new pool in Waurn Ponds opens today.

WITH spring sweeping in and warmer weather on the way, motivation to exercise for the fast approaching summer season is at its peak. A Sports Medicine Australia spokesperson has warned that this exercise may lead to injury if a gradual approach is not taken. Sports Physician and Sports Medicine Australia spokesperson, Dr David Bolzonello, said every spring hundreds of people are admitted to hospitals and emergency departments for sports-related injuries often due to people pushing themselves too hard, too soon. “As summer approaches, many people who have been in hibernation all winter come out to exercise, and more often than not they want to see results and they want to see them fast. It is for this reason that they push themselves to the limit,” Bolzonello said. “By pushing themselves too hard too fast,

injuries are more likely to occur. “People must remember not to exercise beyond their physical capabilities.” To help keep your spring workout injury-free follow the following tips. • If you have any health concerns or pre-existing medical conditions, see your doctor for a check-up before embarking on a new fitness programme. • If playing a new sport, make sure you do a pre-season or some sort of training before competition. • Before exercising or playing sport, practise and use the correct skills and techniques. • Cross-train with other sports and exercises to reduce the risk of overtraining. • Choose an activity you enjoy. This way you’re more likely to stick to it. • Listen to your body – if it hurts, don’t do it.

Highway upgrade begins 30% OFF

THE FIRST step in upgrading the Princes Highway as a safer, fully divided highway between Waurn Ponds and Winchelsea got under way last Friday with early works starting on the $220million project. Roads and Ports Minister, Tim Pallas, was joined by the Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, to mark the start of works on the major road project, as earth moving began on a new service road along the Princes Highway at Buckley. “The Labor Government is working together with the Federal Government to deliver this important piece of road infrastructure for the region, which will improve safety and travel times while delivering new jobs and boosting the economy,” Pallas said. “This work today marks the beginning of construction on the $220million duplication of the Princes Highway between Waurn Ponds and Winchelsea. “It’s great to see early works under way to provide a new connection between Mt Pollock Road and Murrengurk Road for local access to an upgraded highway at Buckley. “The service road will ensure local access for residents along this stretch of Princes Highway, in advance of the next major works, which involve duplicating the highway for 23 kilometres.”

Pallas said the Princes Highway duplication would connect from the Geelong Ring Road near Draytons Road at Mt Duneed, through to Lennox Street at Winchelsea. “When complete it will provide two lanes each way divided by a centre median, with protected turn lanes, median breaks and service roads to provide safe access at key locations,” he said. Crutchfield said the start of works showed the commitment of the Government to deliver real benefits for people in the region. “This safer, fully divided highway, together with the Geelong Ring Road, will reduce travel times and enhance freight access and efficiency for goods and rural produce transported to and from south western Victoria,” he said. “It will also support regional tourism and encourage visitors to Geelong, the Surf Coast, Great Ocean Road and regional Victoria.” Construction on the upgrade of Princes Highway between Waurn Ponds and Winchelsea is expected to be completed by 2014. The duplication of the Princes Highway from Waurn Ponds to Winchelsea is a $220million joint funding commitment by the Victorian and Federal Governments.

Students earn new pedal power BY ELEANOR WOODS TWO lucky Torquay kids walked away with brand new bikes yesterday, courtesy of a government health initiative. Torquay College Year 6 students Sarah Russell and James Reither, both aged 11, were selected by their teachers to win the bikes, which were presented at school assembly by Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield. “I was very surprised when I heard my name called. And very happy,” James said. The Torquay pair look forward to riding to school, both living several kilometres from school.

“We want to give our kids the best start in life and that means getting them off the couch and being more active,” Crutchfield said. The giveaway was part of the Ride2School 1000 Bikes Student Leadership Reward scheme, in which two students from 500 schools across the state will receive free bikes and helmets before Christmas. Crutchfield said Sarah and James were nominated for the prize for their leadership qualities. All nominees are selected as a reward for either participating in their school bike club or taking part in a bicycle education programme. “Studies show that kids who are involved in sport and recreation at a young age are more likely

to remain active as adults,” Crutchfield said. “The Victorian Government’s Go for Your Life programme aims to stem the tide against the looming epidemics of obesity and diabetes and help our kids who are particularly at risk of developing these preventable diseases.” Figures show that the number of children walking or riding to school has dropped sharply since the 1970s from 80 per cent to just 20 per cent choosing an active form of transport to get to school. “Walking or riding to school is an easy way for young people to get some of the 60 minutes exercise they need every day to stay healthy,” Crutchfield said. “These bikes will help the Year 6 pupils who

receive them make an active transition to secondary school and hopefully develop riding as a life-long habit. “As a regular walker, runner and bike rider myself staying healthy through exercise is vitally important to avoid obesity and other negative health ailments.” Other Primary schools in the Geelong and Surf Coast region to receive bikes include: Belmont Primary School, St Therese Primary School, Roslyn Primary School, Oberon South Primary School, Oberon Primary School, Grovedale West Primary School, Grovedale Primary School, Bellbrae Primary School, Barwon Heads Primary School, Anglesea Primary School and Aireys Inlet Campus.

Torquay College Year 6 pupils, James Reither and Sarah Russell, both 11, were awarded bikes by Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield yesterday, as part of the government’s Ride2School initiative.

LOYAL Geelong supporter, Sophia Saba, clawed her way back to the top in the last AFL round to claim victory in the Torquay First National Real Estate footy tipping for 2010. Sophia received $2,000, which looked threatened in round 19 when she lost her lead. Although she had used ‘Supercoach’ before, the First National challenge was the first footy tipping she had entered. “I was leading by four after the first 18 games then I got nervous and dropped back and came back in the last week,” Sophia explained. Despite the windfall, Sophia will not be spending the money on herself. “I’ll share the money with my kids, Michael and Kerry… it’s much nicer to share than to keep it to yourself,” she said.

Red, hot ambition Dear Editor Over the past few weeks, communities in or near the bush have told the Victorian Government they want more fuel reduction burning to better protect them from bushfire. The Premier has responded by announcing $382 million to scale-up planned burning over the next four years to 275,000 hectares. We will then review the effectiveness and impacts of this program, and the best way to achieve 385,000 hectares within two years after that. Victoria’s Department of Sustainability and Environment is already committed to stepping-up planned burning. We are building our capacity by recruiting and training more permanent and seasonal fire fighters, and planning what has to be done with local communities. I want DSE to burn not just more area, but burn smarter – using the best science and modeling to monitor how the bush is faring, and clearly demonstrating the benefits. I also want Victorians to be fully aware of the significant bushfire protection offered by planned burning, as well as the impacts – such as increased smoke effects on community health and some industries. There are always risks when fires are lit, so even with careful planning and execution there will be a few fires that get away. But we will push on, as our priority is to help protect lives, properties and the bush from devastating and destructive bushfires. The Premier has asked us to do more burning, and that is what we are doing. I urge all Victorians to support this critical initiative to better protect us from the real possibility of uncontrolled summer bushfires.

Is a carbon tax something that is really needed?

The time has come to tackle drug addiction

Dear Editor

Senator Bob Brown is keen to speak to whoever gains the reigns of power in Canberra about the introduction of a carbon tax. Bob would do well to consider the following; In the report recently issued by the Australian Academy of Science entitled The Science of Climate Change: Questions and Answers drew the conclusion that it is not possible “to provide definite answers to many questions that are being asked about climate change and why it occurs”. He should also consider natural events like the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland in April this year. In just four days it negated every single effort of humanity in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet. Then there was the Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines in 1991. It spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire six thousand years on earth. Mount Pinatubo was active for over one year! The billions spent worldwide on wind farms, solar panels and emissions trading schemes, have been of no consequence in the overall scheme of things. Therefore putting a price on carbon is a pointless and futile exercise – unless of course you can be successful in plugging every volcanic eruption on land as well on the seabed floor.

The recent spate of revelations about drug addiction problems among high profile Australians in the entertainment and sporting worlds, demonstrates the urgency of the need for a fundamental change in our approach to drugs. High profile football and media personalities have been revealing drug problems over the last few weeks. This demonstrates how drugs have infiltrated the whole of society. The current approach of softly applying guidance is not effective as people continue to remain addicted or become addicted, harming their health, their families and friends and threatening the whole of the future of our country. It will not be cheap but we need to require people to undergo detoxification and rehabilitation as soon as there is evidence of addition to illegal drugs. The earlier the intervention the better. It has worked is Sweden and other places and can work here. Those who are trapped by the use of legal drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, are paying huge amounts in taxes. A fraction of those taxes should be used to help those people get free from legal drugs by paying for voluntary quitting programs. It is time to stop looking down on smokers and actually help them.

Legislation changes lead to improved council laws IMPROVEMENTS to council conflict of interest laws and other legislation have been passed by the Victorian Parliament, Minister for Local Government, Richard Wynne, said last week. Wynne said the legislative reforms introduced by the Local Government and Planning Legislation Amendment Act 2010 were supported by the Parliament and had received broad acceptance within the local government sector. “Conflict of interest rules have been finetuned to give councillors greater confidence about making decisions in the interests of their communities when they have accepted certain gifts and when they belong to a club or community organisation,” Wynne said. “The reforms also strengthen section 55D of the Act, which relates to printing, publishing and distributing council publications during election periods. “These changes deal with a number of practical issues that arose during the State Government’s consultation with the sector, while retaining and extending the important framework established

through the reform agenda in 2008.” Key changes to the Local Government Act include: • Applicable gifts (section 78C) – the gift disclosure threshold is increased to $500 and gifts received more than 12 months before an individual assumes office (other than election campaign donations) are exempt • Club membership (section 77B) – clarifies that being a member of a club is not, by itself, grounds for conflict of interest unless the individual holds a responsible position in the club • Assembly of councillors (section 76AA) – the definition of an assembly of councillors now includes advisory committees and planned or scheduled meetings involving at least half the councillors; and • Council publications during elections (section 55D) – the Bill enforces section 55D for councils and candidates in advance of the next general council elections in 2012. Section 55D prohibits the publication or distribution of electoral matter by a council during an

election period. The existing provision imposes a requirement on a council, rather than an individual. Changes have also been made to electoral representation review processes, specifically around the frequency of reviews and consultation times. The new legislation also gives the Victorian Electoral Commission authority to conduct all reviews. “The amendments to the Local Government Act reflect the valuable contribution of the sector and build on the changes made in 2008 to enhance and support good local democracy,” Wynne said. The new laws are expected to come into operation in the following weeks. Guidance material will be provided to councils at that time and a comprehensive suite of resources will be released later this year.

Progress in Port PORTARLINGTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alec Finney has received a community award for his dedication to local media for more than 18 years and his unrelenting lobbying to bring natural gas to the town. Finney was recognised by the Portarlington Business Development Association at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AGM and networking function at the Grand Hotel.

Rae said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judy informed the PBDA of the many projects the garden club are involved in, including the work members carry out at Wiffen Park; which we all really appreciate.â&#x20AC;?

In a busy end to term three, Portarlington PS is presenting an interesting programme for parents and new students to ensure they have all the useful information they need to ensure starting Prep is a great experience. Open Day, or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pop In and See Us Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be held on Friday, September 10, and Enrolment Week is planned for Monday, September 13 to Friday, September 17, with special Leap into Learning sessions planned for term four. The school will be holding a starting school and school information session in its prep room at 7pm on Wednesday, September 15, where families can attend and hear what the school can offer your family in the community school. Principal Denise Simons said Portarlington Primary School aimed to accommodate every childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic and social needs, by encouraging supportive, strong relationships between all students and staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we have a great focus on literacy and numeracy, we also provide a wide range of special arts, ICT, sports and extracurricular programs run by our enthusiastic staff and school community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our school community is proud of its ability to work with families to accommodate all needs, interests and abilities.

Heart space for child AS A foster carer the biggest reward is knowing that you are making a difference to the life of a child or young person. Anakie’s Raelene and Andrew Barnes know firsthand what it is like to care – they opened their home to two young boys after their own eight children grew up and fled the nest. “The kids had gone and we had seen the ads on TV and thought, ‘we could do that’,” Raelene said. The 55-year-old said it has been the “most rewarding experience”. “It’s not easy. It’s a big challenge but to see the child smiling and enjoying life is just huge,” she said. During September Glastonbury Child and Family Services is involved with a campaign called Ribbon Hair for Foster Care to increase awareness about becoming a foster carer. Care workers from all walks of life are required to reach out and touch the lives of children. The campaign promotes diversity of care workers and will hopefully rein in a wave of support for our community’s kids in need. As a foster carer you will become a valued member of a caring team providing support for a child or young person in need. You may help a child achieve their goals and improve their quality of life now and into the future. You will also learn more about how you relate and respond to children and young people, and will meet other people involved in caring and support roles. If you already have children of your own, foster care can be a wonderful way to teach your children about the value of the safe and loving environment in which they are growing up. Many children who grow up with foster children in their home often maintain a role in community service, whether as a foster carer, other volunteer or employee.

Flynn, 2, of Anglesea is lucky to have a loving home with parents, Sam and Kelly. If you have a soft spot for lending a helping hand consider becoming a foster carer for children who are not as lucky.

Glastonbury Child and Family Services has been strengthening families and building communities since 1854, and has offices in Geelong and Colac. Some of the services offered through the organisation are foster care, residential care, home visiting outreach, mediation, early years programmes and counselling.

Foster care gives a child an alternative, stable home life until the time the child can return home. Glastonbury Child and Family Services welcomes donations and have designed sponsorship programmes for businesses to become involved in supporting troubled families and individuals, or a business may select Glastonbury to be their main

charity recipient. Each year Glastonbury provide a range of services to over 2,000 children and young people in the Colac and Geelong regions. For any further information on the services, visit www.glastonbury.org.au or call the Geelong office on 5222 6911 or the Colac office on 5231 4740.

Reining in dog owners

THE GOVERNMENT is getting tough on irresponsible dog owners with strict new laws – raising the maximum penalty for not registering your pet to $2,389. Agriculture Minister Joe Helper said penalties will double for dog owners who don’t register their animals and don’t take the necessary precautions to stop their dog attacking people or other animals. “The Government shares the community’s belief that dangerous dogs have no place on streets and neighbourhoods of Victoria,” Helper said. “That is why we are committed to not only doubling many penalties to act as a deterrent but also giving local councils the powers they need to

ensure the safety of families, the elderly and young children in Victoria. “These tough new laws will give council officers the authority to seize and destroy unregistered or unidentifiable dogs found unsupervised in a public place if they reasonably believe the dog is a danger to public safety. “The proposed legislation will also empower an authorised officer to immediately destroy any dog that they believe will cause imminent serious injury or death to a person or another animal. “The message to irresponsible dog owners is clear – make sure your pet is controlled, registered and identifiable – or face tough consequences.”

Helper said the maximum penalty for not registering a dog or cat had been raised from $1,195 to $2,389. If dogs were found roaming during the day their owners could face a $717 fine and at night, a $1,195 fine. If a dog caused serious injury owners could face a $4,778 fine and if a dog had been declared dangerous and then caused a serious injury the owner could face a fine of up to $14,334 and six months’ prison. Others changes came into effect including new powers for the Magistrates’ Court to order owners of bad dogs to attend responsible dog ownership training.

Homesless hounds saved MORE than 4,000 homeless dogs have been rescued and welcomed into Australian homes thanks to dog adoption drive. Thousands of Australians have thrown their support behind the 2010 Pedigree Adoption Drive. Through the annual initiative, 4,070 homeless dogs rescued from shelters and placed with loving families. As well as that, 30,000 bowls of food were donated to shelters. More than $150,000 was raised to support PetRescue in their endeavour to save dogs. More than 8,000 dogs have been saved by the group since the campaign’s inception three years ago. Ambassadors for the cause Tom Williams and Myf Warhurst were thoroughly impressed with the generosity shown and look forward to an even bigger result in 2011. “I’m thrilled to have been part of this campaign,” Williams said.

“To think that over 4,000 pooches now have a better life is just brilliant – and our thanks go out to all involved. We look forward to continuing this campaign in conjunction with Pedigree and PetRescue – to improve the lives of homeless pups!” Vickie Davy from rescue organisation PetRescue said it’s wonderful to see the level of awareness spread. “The team here at PetRescue sees the plight of these poor dogs every day, so to have expanded the awareness to the greater Australian public is a wonderful achievement,” she said. “We truly are thankful for the campaign and the heartfelt support offered. We’ve seen a significant boost in adoption and enquiries – which goes a long way to making this world a better place for dogs.” Those still wanting to get involved can visit www.pedigreeadoptiondrive.com.au or www.petrescue.com.au

Industry Info

Green homes open By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

The balance between renovating and selling MOST home owners will consider the idea of renovating at some stage during their time in a home; some renovate to make the home more liveable now and others to attempt to increase the sale price. No matter what the reason is, you need to consider the cost of the renovation and compare that to the potential financial benefit. This is important because overcapitalising can be a risk. While most investors have a good understanding of what overcapitalising is and how to avoid it, this is not always the case for owner-occupiers. Overcapitalising is spending money on renovating your house that you are unable to recoup because the value of your house did not increase as expected. This is less of an issue if you never have the intention of leaving your home but if you want to sell at a later date you need to think it through carefully. It can be a particular issue if you are considering selling soon and are weighing up the value of a new kitchen or bathroom. When you are planning to renovate it is prudent to consult an estate agent and architect or building designer. In the first instance you need to consider how much your property is currently worth and how this compares to the median price in your area. If you spend too much on your house you may put it out of reach of buyers in that area. Also consider how your renovated property will fit into the area in which you live, as buyers are often attracted to a particular area because of a style of housing. Finally, if you are looking to sell and move in the shorter term it is important to consider if the cost of the renovations will be recouped by an increased value; if not, renovating is not going to be worth the time, stress and cost.

SOME of the Bellarine and Geelong’s most sustainable homes will be on display next Sunday, September 12, for Sustainable House Day. The free community event will provide community members with the opportunity to learn from experts in sustainable house design and visit local homes that display sustainable design features. City of Greater Geelong councillor, John Doull, said Sustainable House Day would allow people to exchange ideas and learn from each other. “Each year the average Australian household contributes 13 tonnes of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere – the equivalent of more than 700 black balloons every day,” he said. “Sustainable House Day aims to provide an enjoyable day for the community to learn about how they can reduce their household emissions. “The visits to the houses are free of charge, so it will cost nothing for people to see how easy it is to retrofit their house – or design their new house – in an environmentally friendly way. “The houses on display boast a range of energy efficient features such as solar, ventilation, water harvesting and recycling, shading, thermal mass, glazing and window treatments. “Architects and builders will be on hand at most of the homes to provide expert tips on how to make your home more energy efficient.” Eight homes will be on display throughout Geelong and the Bellarine, including an owner-built home with a range of energy efficient features, an architect designed passive solar sandstone house, and a retrofitted home with great water harvesting and recycling options. The following houses will be open from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, September 12: • 57 Sheepwash Road, Barwon Heads • Drysdale – bookings required, see www.

sustainablehouseday.com • 54 Slevin Street, North Geelong • 66 Ash Road, Leopold • 34 Sydneham Avenue, Manifold Heights • 24 Amundsen Street, Belmont • 12 Edith Court, Belmont • 31 Liverpool Street, Rippleside This Friday, September, 10, some of Geelong’s best architects and lecturers will also participate in a forum at Deakin University Waterfront Campus to discuss Sustainable Design – what, how and why. Everyone is invited to attend the forum, which starts at 7pm and no bookings required. The Geelong Sustainability Group is organising both events with support from the City of Greater Geelong. Details of homes are available at www. sustainablehouseday.com and details of Deakin University forum are available at events page of www.geelongsustainability.org.au Energy efficient features of some homes include: • The extensive use of plantation, recycled and FSC timbers for structural, joinery and other purposes • The use of low VOC paints and finishes throughout • The use of high performance double glazing, sashless double hung windows • Double insulation in walls and ceilings • A Rainwater storage and supply system that supplies the whole house (except the kitchen) • A greywater diversion and irrigation system • A 1.5kW grid connected PV system • Only ceiling fans and passive cross ventilation are used for cooling • Gas hydronic heating provides back up heating • LED and fluorescent lighting features prominently.

• Planning advice, investigation and applications • VCAT representation • Land rezoning and planning scheme amendments • Subdivisions/Title re-establishment • Feature, level and contour surveys

GREAT OCEAN ROAD REAL ESTATE APOLLO BAY YOUR SALES SPECIALISTS

THIS YEARS RECORD RESULT WILL HAVE THE MARKET TALKING! A residential home along the Great Ocean Road in Apollo Bay has just sold for a record price. Darren Brimacombe from Great Ocean Road Real Estate says “the sale will certainly have the market talking.” The property is positioned on the Great Ocean Road in a strip known as ‘the golden mile’ on the northern side of the town. The market activity has been excellent in the last 9 months and we have come through the Global Financial Crisis. With continued buyer enquiry and sales we are now starting to see consistent sales back in the middle to top-end. Although the demand in the Bellarine and areas closer to Melbourne have been steady through the last 2 years, the last 6-9 months has seen a resurgence of buyers back to Apollo Bay and surrounding regions. With the bi-partisan government announcements on the road extension to Colac and the excellent value that the Apollo Bay market offers, combined with an increasing demand on the populations of Melbourne, Apollo Bay is certainly well positioned to continue to be a great investment and coastal holiday destination.

Building & Construction

Tuesday 7 September 2010

A holistic approach

A HOLISTIC approach to design and construction shines through with this custom Derbyshire home in Highton. This captivating residence is a lesson in creating a home that is in harmony with its surrounds while taking full advantage of exquisite views offered by its location. The contemporary two-storey house also meets every practical requirement of its semi-retired owners who were looking for a customised home they could enjoy well into the future. The street façade successfully blends timber, aluminium cladding and render. There are minimal windows facing the street to ensure the owners’ privacy. Once inside it is a different story; soaring ceilings, huge windows and panoramic views that take your breath away ensure this home is a standout. Broad expanses of double-glazed windows welcome natural sunlight and warmth to living spaces, along with a stunning vista of sky, river and bay. At night this transforms into a sea of twinkling stars and lights. Capitalising on this outlook is a large open plan living area comprising the kitchen, dining and living room. Clean lines dominate this space and a highlight is the kitchen with its focus on functionality and stylish design. The warmth of the polished spotted gum floorboards provides the perfect contrast to crisp white cabinetry, stone bench tops, stainless steel appliances and mosaic splashback. There is also ample bench space, wide self-closing drawers and a walk-in pantry with food preparation area. The kitchen flows through to the large living area with built-in cabinetry and a gas log heater. All this opens onto a spacious balcony that is ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in fresh air while enjoying a coffee, reading the morning paper or admiring the view.

The upstairs master bedroom also enjoys a magnificent view and features a walk-in robe and luxurious en suite. Downstairs there are two more bedrooms which both enjoy views. Downstairs also features a second living area with built-in cabinetry and electric flame heater, as well as a stylish home office with ample shelving and storage. Within easy reach are the main bathroom, powder room and laundry. A clever addition for outdoor entertaining is the builtin bar with sink, wine rack and full size fridge which is hidden at the foot of the stunning open tread timber staircase. The house also has internal access to a double garage with handy storage. The result is a Derbyshire home that fulfils the client’s brief for a beautiful home that is light-filled and comfortable year around. Builder Noel Derbyshire says the home exemplifies the benefits of a boutique builder with a philosophy of working alongside clients to ensure everyone is on the same page throughout the building journey. “Derbyshire use the highest quality materials, fixtures and fittings and has earned a reputation for building luxury homes to meticulous standards,” Derbyshire said. “We offer a complete service. Clients not only deal with a builder, architect and draftsman, but are also advised on land purchases, sustainable design principles and have access to an interior designer and optional landscape architect service.” For more information please contact Noel Derbyshire on 0407 524 406 or visit the Platinum Series One display home at Lot 143 Province Boulevard in Highton (Melways Ref: 450 K8) from 1-5pm weekends or by appointment with Noel.

For a home that has it all, you can count on Derbyshire.

Ocean Grove set to host rock royalty BY RACHEL DELANY AUSTRALIAN music legend Ross Hannaford will lead an exciting musical event at The Ocean Grove Hotel later this month. Hannaford will appear at the hotel on Friday, September 17, accompanied by the Scion Pirates. Hannaford is widely regarded as one of Australia’s finest rock guitarists, most famously known for his long-time collaboration with Ross Wilson in their seminal 1970s rock band Daddy Cool. After the release of the hugely successful debut Eagle Rock, Daddy Cool quickly became one of the most popular and successful bands of the 1970s. Hannaford has played with The Black Sorrows, Paul Madigan and The Humans, Ian Moss, Mark Gillespie, Billy T and Goanna. His band, Diana’s Kiss, played at St Kilda’s Esplanade Hotel through the 1990s, and Daddy Cool have reformed a few times since the 1970s, most recently in 2007 in a

tour with The Beach Boys and Christopher Cross Acclaimed local musicians Tim Neal and Jon Willard – members of the Scion Pirates – will accompany Hannaford with reggae, ska and rock-steady inspired tunes. Set to move your groove the gig includes rare-roots-reggae DJ Tom Noonen and the hotel is offering a door prize for the best dressed ‘Reggae Pirate’! The full band features Dave Bambrook on drums, Tim Neal on saxophone, keys and backing voacls, Tim Fullerton on bass and backing vocals, Travis Brinnard on percussion and lead vocals, Jon Willard on guitar and vocals and Douglass Matheson on saxophone and backing vocals. The Ocean Grove Hotel is located at 175 Bonnyvale Road, Ocean Grove, and a full house is expected for the performance, so be sure to book your tickets quickly to avoid disappointment. Grab your tickets from the venue or from www.webtickets.com.au and for further information call David Dorman 0408 575 799.

Butler uprising THE JOHN Butler Trio is bringing its skills to our neck of the woods. The well crafted musician and band has spent the year touring their April Uprising album â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third consecutive album to debut at number one on the ARIA charts. Surf Coast fans will get the chance to experience the trio in the flesh this month at Geelong Performing Arts Centre, where they will be joined by special guests Blue King Brown. The all ages, licensed gig will see John Butler, Nicky Bomba (drums and percussion) and Byron Luiters (bass) back home to deliver songs from the new album which has proven to be the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest success to date. The show is at 8pm on Sunday, September 19. Tickets cost $70 or

concert-goers can opt to pay an extra 50 cents to purchase carbon credits to help make the event carbon neutral. Emissions associated with the tour, such as concert electricity generated from the shows, air and road transportation including touring party and freight will be calculated and reinvestment will be made into renewable energy projects. This will effectively balance out the impact the tour will have on the climate and is a positive investment to assist the current situation of global warming. People travelling to the concert by carbon transport will be able to purchase a ticket which will incur an extra cost of 50 cents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this money will also be donated to renewable energy projects to help make this a truly carbon neutral tour.

John Butler Trio will perform at Geelong Performing Arts Centre this month.

Mosiac magic ALEX LEKNIUS, co-ordinator of the Anglesea and District Community House stands in-front of one of the completed mosaics which is part of the new Anglesea Community Art Walk. “I couldn’t believe ordinary people did this work and not professional artists,” Leknius said. “Of course we are really lucky to have Katie van Nooten desiging all the mosaics as she is such a great artists. The art itself will attract people, it’s just so great.”

Placed on the exterior wall of the ANGAIR meeting rooms, artist Katie van Nooten designed the mosaic after meeting with ANGAIR’s members to discover what the group wanted to portray, and each member then did their bit to complete the beautiful work. The mosaic depicts some of the indigenous orchids found in Anglesea’s scrubland and the endangered Rufous Whistling bird, native to the Surf Coast.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

A ‘Young Guns’ homage to Catalonia IT’S GREAT to see the new generation of young winemakers making their mark in the industry and garnering some deserved recognition for their efforts. Two weeks ago, Rollo Crittenden was named winner of the “Young Guns of Wine 2010”, an award that is now in its fourth year and gaining momentum. Rollo is the son of Garry Crittenden, of Crittenden Estate fame on the Mornington Peninsula, and is himself a highly respected innovator in the wine industry. He was one of the first winemakers to pioneer Italian varietals using fruit from the King Valley some 15 years ago, and now his son has taken on the mantle to explore and experiment with Spanish varietals, and very successfully it seems too. Here are some exciting new wines taking the wine scene by storm with a savvy Euro/Mediterranean twist set to get your taste buds tingling.

Crittenden Estate ‘Los Hermanos’ Tributo a Galicia 2009 ($25) The grape used here is a bit of an unknown quantity in that it was originally understood to be the well-known and widely used ‘albarino’ white grape variety from Spain. It’s since been exposed as the little known ‘savagnin’ (pronounced sav-van-yan and is nothing like sauvignon blanc), a white grape variety from the south of France. I like that the Crittendens have decided to use the ‘Tributo a Galicia’ name instead of the grape variety on the fantastic Iberian inspired labeling as this avoids the obvious confusion. It’s a crisp, dry, textured wine with tinges of pear, lemon, and honeysuckle – lovely.

Alex Leknius is so impressed with the new mosaic artwork.

LOCALS NIGHT

Special meal with glass of house wine or tap beer

Thoroughly delicious, this is the most exciting ‘must try’ wine of the year in my book. A rare, all Victorian, blend of Tempranillo from King Valley, with a splash of Mataro and Garnacha from the Patterson Lakes, in Mornington Peninsula. The blend is a ‘homage’ to the classic red blend from the Catalonian region in Spain, where the emphasis is on the youthful, ripe berry fruit flavours – what’s termed as a ‘Joven’ style. No new oak is used in the ageing process (threeyear-old barrels are used), to allow the full expression of the juicy fruit characters, with gentle tannins, savory notes and spice, adding to the plush, velvety feel on the mid-palate, which fleshes out with a soft, supple rounded finish. Do yourself a favour – I love it.

F R I D AY N I G H T S

CURRY NIGHT

Crittenden Estate ‘Los Hermanos’ Tempranillo 2009 ($25) As this variety gains ground (quite literally) in the Australian wine scene, we are seeing a wave of enthusiasm for the variety’s bright, fresh aromatics, the ripe un-oaked forward fruit flavours, and the elegant medium bodied palate weight and dry, savory and spice characters that inter play with the plum/cherry fruits. Very much a food wine that works with any Mediterranean influenced dish you wish.

Figurative and fun ART LOVERS are being drawn to Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery to “marvel at the exquisite body art of Emma Hack and delight in Kate Smith’s quirky pastels and new Flapper Haberdashery”. The stunning works by Hack and Smith are featured in Seaview’s 2010 Figurative and Fun exhibition, together with figurative studies by Di King and Linda Robertson and sculptures created by Jenny Whiteside. English-born Smith is self-taught and has a career spanning 33 years, with 25 of those years spent living in Australia. She is a multi-award winning artist is highly regarded for her spontaneous vision and fine interpretation of colour. Her classic, yet contemporary figures are simplistic but offer an insight into femininity and womanhood and have featured in galleries, private and corporate collections in Australia and overseas. Smith’s works combine “a quick wit and whimsy to create glamorous and quirky women” enjoying indulgent pleasures in lushly coloured pastels. While pastel is her favourite medium, she also works in oils, watercolour and acrylics – all

approached with “gusto and passion”. In contrast, but equally impressive, Hack’s work is an amazing extension of body art into new and unique dimensions. She won the World Congress Professional World Body Painting Championships in Hong Kong in 2001 and has gone on to win artist awards as her work has evolved. Inspired by the late Florence Broadhurst wallpaper designs, Hack has painstakingly camouflaged the human form into hand painted designs. Her work internationally includes body painting and design concepts for a long list of projects from a Tiffany and Co. store launch in Dubai to a Playstation 2 commercial in Hong Kong. In Australia, Hack’s clients include Sydney and Melbourne Fashion weeks and she has made a name for herself across the world. Hack and Smith’s collections are complemented by the works of King, Robertson and Whiteside. Figurative and Fun is on display at Seaview Gallery in Queenscliff until September 13; open daily from 10.30am to 5pm.

Opera Otways way OPERA in the Otways is back, with Cape Otway Lightstation presenting the Victorian Opera in a gala concert of the most-loved operatic and Broadway favourites in the spectacular surrounds of the lighthouse. At Opera in the Otways, on Saturday, October 16, Victorian Opera’s music director Richard Gill will conduct some of the State’s finest voices, accompanied by a full orchestra for a concert of popular arias, duets, and ensemble pieces. The state opera company’s programme will include songs from household favourites Rigoletto, La bohème, The Magic Flute and Carmen, plus Broadway hits Oklahoma, The King and I, Oliver, A Little Night Music, and The Threepenny Opera. The gala will feature a choir of the region’s school children who will perform on the day alongside professional artists who have appeared in Victorian Opera’s recent, acclaimed productions of Julius Caesar and The Turn of the Screw. Richard Gill has promised a rousing performance at Australia’s most significant lighthouse. “Performing in regional Victoria is one of the most vital aspects of Victorian Opera’s work. We want to inspire a whole generation of artists and audiences throughout all of Victoria,” he said. Lightstation manager Paul Thompson said Opera in the Otways was being relocated from Melba Gully to make space for the event’s growing audience. “This is a great event which people from

Melbourne and regional Victoria have embraced and in the Lightstation grounds we can give them an even better experience in another iconic and equally beautiful Otways location,” Thompson said. “We’re really excited to be able to bring a headline act the caliber of Victorian Opera to the Otways in a family-friendly setting with stunning views, great food and wine, and at an affordable price. “The Lightstation has a fascinating past with many highly dramatic stories of its own that make it a fitting backdrop for opera.” In addition to Victorian Opera there will be a fun programme of roving performers and mainstage entertainment, highlighting some of the region’s talented performers. Free activities will be provided for children.” Opera in the Otways is synonymous with good food and wine, and this year people will be spoilt for choice. The region’s best produce, wine, beer and hand-made gourmet delicacies will be served at a Paddock to Plate celebration at the Lightstation on October 16. Tickets to Opera in the Otways are available online at www.ticketmaster.com.au or from the Lightstation. For more information, visit www.otwaysopera. com.au or contact Lightstation manager Paul Thompson on 5237 9240.

Make a scene

Opera in the Otways promises an experience like no other. The Cape Otway Lightstation will host an array of talent next month.

HIGH school students are being challenged to demonstrate the Shakespeare in their everyday lives by entering the 2010 Make A Scene competition. Make A Scene, which is run by Optus and Bell Shakespeare, invites students around Australia to choose a Shakespeare quote and express it their own way via any medium – be it a drawing, photograph, illustration, animation, or movie submitted electronically as a still image or movie file. The National Prize winner will be awarded $5,000, the new 250GB MacBook worth $1,299 and an Apple iPhone. If the winning student’s entry has been supported by their teacher or school, the school will also win $5,000 and a semi-pro DV camera worth $5,799. Entries will be judged by leading Australian actor and theatre director John Bell. According to the event’s organisers, Shakespeare and teenagers have a lot in common. They are both immersed in everyday dramas about love, jealousy, sibling rivalry and family feuds and they both coin new sayings and words. Shakespeare thought life was a stage, and teenagers act like they’re on one. Make A Scene encourages students to approach Shakespeare in a language they understand while giving teachers the opportunity to utilise technology within the prescribed curriculum. Entries can be uploaded from today on the Make A Scene website, and close on Friday, October 1. Visit www.optus.com.au/makeascene for more details.

Hit the streets ARTISTS from across the Bellarine are invited to provide a splash of colour to Geelong’s grey roadside traffic light boxes as part of the upcoming UCI Road World Championships Cultural Programme. Grey boxes along Moorabool and Pakington streets will be transformed into colourful works of art in the unique Artbox project. The Artboxes, which will line sections of the UCI race route, will celebrate Geelong’s diverse artistic community in a range of designs and colours. Artboxes along Moorabool Street will reflect the contemporary streetscape design in cool tones, while Pakington Street Artboxes will be more colourful and exotic to reflect the street’s vibrancy and multicultural links. City of Greater Geelong councillor, Barbara Abley, invited artists to take up the unique opportunity to make their mark on Geelong’s streets. “This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute a bold and artistic addition to some of our busiest streets,” Abley said. “The Artbox project is just one element of the exciting UCI Cultural Programme which will see Geelong’s streets and cultural facilities come to life during the UCI world championships from September 28 to October 3. ”We are keen to show the world just what a vibrant and thriving artistic community we have here in Geelong.” Each successful applicant will receive $300 and acrylic paint from the City of Greater Geelong when they are assigned their Artbox. Artboxes must be painted between September 14 and 25. Interested artists should submit their designs in response to the city’s artist brief by this Thursday, September 9. To obtain a detailed artist brief, artists should contact Georgia Barber on 5272 4659 or Duncan Esler on 5272 4773.

The Vasco Era inspired young Bellarine musicians this month at the latest Queenscliff Music Festival – Freeza music industry training day.

A Vasco masterclass

BY ALISON MARTIN

THE QUEENSCLIFF Music Festival team and much-loved Apollo Bay natives, The Vasco Era, took their talents and inspiration to the Bellarine Secondary College last month. The QMF Masterclass music industry training day was an exciting addition to the festival programme and part of its commitment to Freeza, with a focus on nurturing young, local musicians. The Vasco Era vocalist and guitarist, Sid O’Neil, bassist, Ted O’Neil, and drummer, Michael Fitzgerald, shared their experiences and tips on during workshops and then took to the Potato Shed

stage in front of appreciative audience. Fitzgerald, said it was the first time the band had been involved in a session like the masterclass but the trio was enthusiastic about doing it all again. He said it was good to share some experiences with the students and he remembered the good advice and benefits of listening to and learning from older musicians when he was younger. “I think there is definitely potential for inspiring young musicians through these sessions… I was really enjoying talking and playing with the young musicians,” he said. “I think these sessions provide a great alternative to music giving. I really like the idea of having

workshops in the morning followed by a performance in the afternoon as I think this shows the students’ how the workshops relate to live performances. “It is a really good service to offer young musicians.”. He thanked the QMF committee for inviting Vasco Era to be involved in the workshop. “It was a great experience and we would be more than happy to do another one some time in the future,” he said. The Vasco Era has been included in the first round line-up for this year’s Queenscliff Music Festival in November. For ticket bookings and further details visit www.qmf.net.au

Have I enough to retire? BY RODD BUDGE

WITH the current market volatility, investors generally have some concerns regarding superannuation. The primary concern is whether they have enough money to retire. Having enough money to retire depends on two main factors – what kind of retirement lifestyle you want and how long you expect to live. If you doubt whether you have enough money to comfortably retire, there are some great incentives which could potentially boost your superannuation savings, and we list two options below.

Government co-contributions

For those who qualify, take advantage of the Government co-contributions into superannuation. If you are an Australian resident and earn below $61,920 a year, you may be eligible for the co-contribution. To claim the co-contribution you need to make a personal, after-tax contribution to your super before June 30 and the

Government will kick in up to $1,000 towards your retirement.

Salary sacrifice

If you have surplus income – salary sacrifice into your super is another consideration. Salary sacrificing has many benefits as it not only helps to increase your super savings but could also reduce the amount of tax you pay. By selecting an amount of your pre-tax salary to sacrifice into super, this amount will be automatically deducted from your salary and deposited directly into your super fund. As a result your contribution will taxed at a maximum rate of 15 per cent as opposed to your marginal tax rate which may be as high as 46.5 per cent – but stay within the allowable contribution limits. Remember that superannuation benefits are preserved and lump sums can only be accessed when you meet a condition of release such as retiring when you reach preservation age (Age 55 for people born

before July 1, 1960), or when you attain age 65 years. Once you reach 60 years of age, you will not be required to pay tax on any pension income or lump-sum withdrawals from superannuation. As always, I recommend you speak with your financial planner to find the most appropriate advice relating to your individual circumstance and to ensure that any contributions you make into superannuation are within the allowable limits.

Make sure you get the best service NEW UNIFORM consumer credit laws have been introduced to ensure all credit lenders and credit service providers, such as mortgage brokers, engage in responsible lending and transparent customer service. So, how can potential borrowers decipher the best broker from the rest?

According to Australia’s largest independently-owned mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice, using the checklist below when choosing a broker will help ensure borrowers question important aspects of their service and gain an insight into the value of the broker’s offering.

• Residential Mortgage Finance • Property Investment Finance • Vehicle & Equipment Finance • Commercial & Business Lending • Lifestyle Planning

phone 5261 6530 address 16 Gilbert St, Torquay web www.geelongfinancial.com.au

• Can the broker demonstrate professional standards? • Can they offer real choice of loans? • Is the broker’s advice and service at no cost to you? • Is the broker working in your best interests?

Market View with tracey watts

The great ignored ON AUGUST 23 this year the ABC Four Corners program ran a documentary that attracted a great deal of attention. The documentary, called Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis, dramatically warns that the stimulus measures taken by the various governments around the world are leading us towards an inevitable global financial collapse, far larger than the first Global Financial Crisis. The documentary is narrated and written by Johan Norberg and based on his book, Financial Fiasco. He argues that it was not the bankers who caused the Global Financial Crisis but the panicked response of governments to the crisis. The focus of the documentary is to demonstrate that the transfer of bad debts from financial institutions to sovereign governments did not “cure” the Global Financial Crisis, just delayed the day of reckoning. Throughout the documentary various experts are interviewed and if they are right then the worst

is yet to come as governments struggle to not only pay down the debt they now owe as a result of their bank bailouts and bad investment decisions but struggle to pay the interest bill on that debt. One of the principal expert contributors was a US commentator by the name of Peter Schiff. He is famous for being one of the few analysts that forecast the economic problems confronting the Western World before the Global Financial Crisis struck. At the time of his forecasts he was pilloried for his negative views, which with hindsight have turned out to be quite prescient. For Peter Schiff, the consequence of the spending binge by governments in response to the first Global Financial Crisis is crystal clear: “We’re in so much trouble now because we got drunk on all that federal government alcohol”. The governments saved the banks but who can save the governments?

Painkillers a paradox

ACCORDING to studies, taking more than 10 to 15 painkillers a month can make headaches worse. Research just released by consumer group CHOICE shows use of over-the-counter painkillers can actually cause more frequent and severe headaches. Although over-the-counter analgesic medications such as paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen are generally safe and provide temporary relief of symptoms, doctors are increasingly seeing the effects of analgesic overuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in particular headaches caused, paradoxically, by the very medications taken to treat them. CHOICE has also questioned whether painkillers can really target different parts of the body, as claimed by drug manufacturers, and discovered the ingredients of analgesic products are often identical. CHOICE spokesperson Christopher Zinn said that when used correctly, painkillers can be helpful for people with chronic headaches. But regular use of painkillers may alter the processing of pain signals in the brain, making you more sensitive to pain and

affecting how your brain naturally deals with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In response, you take more painkillers and the cycle continues. After a while, your body becomes used to the presence of a certain level of the drug and stopping it results in withdrawal,â&#x20AC;? Zinn said. So-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;medication overuse headacheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can arise from taking as few as 10-15 doses of painkillers for headaches a month, depending on the individual and the type of painkiller used. Paracetamol, NSAIDs (including ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac) codeine and triptans are all implicated. Findings also showed that painkillers acted systemically rather than locally meaning it was a waste of money forking out for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;targetedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pain relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drug is absorbed into your bloodstream and accesses most tissues in your body, not just the site of pain,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A product marketed for back pain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only go to your back. It will treat any pain, anywhere, which just goes to show you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to empty your wallet by filling your medicine cupboard up with a different painkiller for each part of the body.â&#x20AC;?

Taking painkillers has been linked to having more frequent and severe headaches.

More support for residential services

Also provider to Veterans Affairs and Victorian Denture Scheme Member of the Australian Dental Prosthetist Assoc.

RESEARCH shows people living in residential care are at an increased risk of malnutrition yet, until now there has been no support to provide nutritious foods in Supported Residential Services (SRS) throughout Victoria. Nutrition Australia Executive Officer and Accredited Nutritionist Lucinda Dobson said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SRSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have an important role in providing food to their residents with most providing all of their residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrition needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means these facilities have a significant influence on the health and nutrition of more than 2,500 elderly people,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said.

You can choose your own doctor and make an appointment today.

Recently, Nutrition Australia launched the Healthy Food Guidelines to help over 100 SRS facilities make small and easy changes to their menu to ensure their residents have the nutrients they need to grow old gracefully. SRSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are privately owned businesses providing accommodation and personal care for those who can no longer live independently at home. Although they cater for a range of age groups, the average age of those living in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;above-pensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; facilities is 83. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy eating not only provides residents with the nutrients they need to maintain good health but

it can also have long lasting and positive impacts on their mental status, mood and quality of life,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said. Every above-pension SRS will receive a free manual with advice for menu planning that is age and culturally specific. Nutrition Australia will also continue to support SRSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through a 1300 info line and menu assessments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This manual will provide much needed support to SRS facilities and is the first step to improving the health of many elderly people who live in these facilities,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said.

Computer games kids THE CSIRO has developed computer software that aims to encourage children to be more active when playing computer games. Designed as an add-on to popular computer games that do not ordinarily encourage physical activity, it works by exploiting the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to win. Through the Preventative Health Flagship, CSIRO experts in information and communication technologies (ICT) took a game that is usually played sitting down and devised a way for them to earn extra points if they jump up and down. Dr Shlomo Berkovsky and his team developed the concept using the open source game Neverball, where players have a certain amount of time to guide a ball through a maze, and shortened the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way an average player can complete the maze and go on to the next level of the game is by getting up and jumping around. Every jump earns a second of game time,â&#x20AC;? Dr Berkovsky said. Modified and unmodified versions of the game were tested on 270 primary school children in Hobart, Tasmania. Those playing the modified game jumped an average of 257 times in the 20 minutes they spent playing the game. Dr Berkovsky said the trials showed children playing modified games spent 25 per cent of their gaming time being active, whereas those playing unmodified games were active for just 3 per cent of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children enjoyed playing the modified game as much if not more than the unmodified version and their parents were particularly pleased with how much exercise they seemed to be getting,â&#x20AC;? he said. CSIROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach can be applied to any game where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a parameter that can be measured, like time, and which it makes sense to reward, in the context of the game. The work recently won the research and development (R&D) category of the 2010 Tasmanian iAwards, sponsored by the Australian Information Industry Association.

Osteo on the coast

OSTEOPATHY or osteopathic medicine was founded by American physician Andrew Taylor Still in 1892 after he became disillusioned by conventional medicines of the time. The modality works with the natural healing system of the body, and involves soft tissue work emphasising the importance of the musculoskeletal system in health and disease. By stretching and manipulating the skeleton and muscles, an increase in mobility and restoration of balance can occur. Angleseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Georgina Sayer has been practicing osteopathy for 10 years and specialises in sports injuries, manipulative treatment and treatment for headaches. Georgina has also completed training in animal chiropractic and is qualified in dry needling. A state level hockey player herself, who understands the importance of preventative care and sports injury treatment, Georgina was previously practicing in Brunswick before making the Surf Coast sea-change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work on a holistic approach, looking at the problem and investigating why it may be occurring,â&#x20AC;? Sayer said. Anglesea Osteopathy is now located on 4/103 Great Ocean Road and is in the process of expansion which will soon include other practitioners. Contact Georgina Sayer on 0412 078 718 for more information.

$9million programme for regional health BARWON South West Region has received more than $2million in funding from the state government to purchase new state-of-the-art medical equipment. Health Minister Daniel Andrews said the 2010/11 Targeted Equipment Programme was about giving Victorian doctors and nurses the equipment they needed to continue their

fantastic work across the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Labor Government is taking action to give Victorians a better health system by ensuring health services have the latest medical equipment to deliver the highest-quality care to patients,â&#x20AC;? Andrews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Targeted equipment funding enables

Victorian public hospitals to stay at the forefront of new technology to ensure they continue to provide the best possible care to patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are investing $9.1million so regional families right across Victoria have access to the latest equipment and the best possible care in our first-class hospitals.â&#x20AC;?

Crossword Solution

Is a close relationship going through a bumpy patch? This week’s stars provide an opportunity to heal old wounds with compromise, compassion and kindness. The New Moon promises surprises and changes to your daily routine. You’ll be at your enterprising best as you combine home, work, love and lust into one exciting epic.

This week’s stars favour being proactive and creative in the kitchen. Be inspired by birthday great Elsa Schiaparelli “A good cook is like a sorcerer who dispenses happiness.” Don’t let comfort shopping burn a hole in your wallet. Crabs adore buying beautiful things (especially for the home) but avoid spending more than you can afford.

Wednesday’s New Moon lights up your hobby/leisure zone, so it’s time to get out of a work rut and do more of what you love. You may be called on to play peacemaker (especially on Sunday). Don’t rush in like a bull at a gate! Take the time to talk things through, as you smooth troubled waters with your sound and sensible advice.

Leos love to hog the limelight and do most of the talking but this week you need to master the subtle art of two-way conversation. The New Moon activates your finance zone, so money matters loom large. Balancing the budget is your number one priority. Until that’s sorted out, you’re just rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic!

With Mercury in retrograde motion (until Sep 13) you may feel as if you’re going backwards. Don’t drop your bundle and give up - find the fortitude to soldier on. Clear the clutter and give your home a spring clean. By throwing out old things (like clothes and paperwork) you’ll clear the stuck energy so you can start moving forwards.

The New Moon’s in your sign, so you’re standing at the crossroads and about to make some momentous decisions. It’s the perfect time to plan projects and anticipate important changes in your life. But you need to be patient – don’t put your new ideas into action until after September 13 (when Mercury starts moving forwards again).

SEP 7 - SEP 13 2010

Wednesday’s New Moon stimulates your contemplation zone, so take a break from your usual social whirl and indulge in some splendid solitude – for a change. Creative pursuits are favoured on Friday, as you channel the bohemian artist within. Activities involving fashion, children and sport are also highlighted. Love is in the air on Saturday.

Conscientious Capricorns are incredibly demanding and super critical. Nothing is ever quite right, and no-one (yourself included) can live up to your ludicrously high expectations. With the New Moon in the fussy sign of Virgo, you’ll feel even more fastidious than usual. Just remember – perfection is a goal, not a destination.

Scorpios are sentimental (and stubborn) souls. Try not to obsess about what might have been – dwelling on the past will get you nowhere fast. Be inspired by birthday great D. H. Lawrence “I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.” The New Moon helps you aim for gold, as you focus on your goals and dreams for the future.

Get ready for the big two – sex and money. Wednesday’s New Moon signals a fresh start to do with intimate relations or finances. For some – a hot new affair (or a rekindled romance); for others – the dawning of a new fiscal age when you become a money-saver rather than a money-waster. Work towards being financially independent.

Jupiter (your ruling planet) reverses back into Pisces, so from now until the end of the year is the perfect time to tie up loose ends and finalise projects that have been hanging in mid-air since June. You are sometimes too honest for your own good. Try to be extra tactful on Thursday – a little bit of Sagittarian truth serum goes a very long way!

With the New Moon stimulating your relationship zone, Piscean partnerships are in for a major rejuvenation. Does your partner love the real you, encourage your talents and support your dreams? If the answer is no, then it may be time to give them the boot. Single Fish – stop procrastinating and get serious about finding long-term love!

Cahill thrives at Bells BELLS Beach local, Cahill Bell-Warren, took out the West Coast round of the Victorian Open Titles at his home beach on the weekend. Held in solid, stormy conditions BellWarren used his local knowledge to tame the waves and take out the title with a solid score of 14.35 points (out of a possible 20) in the final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve surfed Bells in conditions like this plenty of times so I knew where to sit and which waves to catchâ&#x20AC;? said BellWarren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waves were pumping! I thought it was a lot bigger than it actually was, but still excellent waves.â&#x20AC;? Placing in a close second on 12.75 points was ex-Phillip Island, now Torquay-based surfer, Mitch Baker who was a standout throughout the whole event. Third was older brother of current prosurfer Nic Muscroft, Nigel Muscroft (Jan Juc) who used his wealth of experience in this area to get him to the finals netting himself an 8.75 total heat score. In the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, a straight final was held with Point Lonsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jade Oglivie dominating the event scoring a heat total of 15 points. Zoe Clarke, Kelly Laity, Kim Byrne and Lucy Ruffy placing in second, third, fourth and fifth respectively.

Open Week is from September 12 to 18 GDVGA Pennant 2011: Lonsdale has entered two teams for this Vets Pennant. All prospective players need to ensure they have played the mandatory 5 GDVGA events this year to qualify. Tips from golf pro Sean Charleston: Improve your carry with drives Many golfers ask me how high I should tee up the golf ball with the driver. The height of the tee should allow the golf ball to have 50 per cent of the ball above the crown of the club head. This will encourage golfers to hit the ball on the rise and produce a higher ball flight with longer carry. Longer carry through the winter months will give you more distance.

138, C Grade was Dot Billman, East, with 153. Nett winners A Grade, Jeanette Barclay, 110, B Grade, Emma Zahl, Clifton Springs, 109.5 and C Grade, Di Roede, Portarlington, 115.

These two young girls are great to see around the club, living in Melbourne makes it difficult to play regularly but when they can, they brighten up our fairways. Good on you girls.

FROM THE

mat WITH TORQUAY BOWLS CLUB

LET’S hope it is a harbinger of better days ahead. The bowls club is stirring back into life after a winter best forgotten While greenkeeper Bill, like everyone else, has been delighted by the abundant rains, he could have done without the cold. He estimates that the season is weeks behind recent years as the soil has been so cold that growth has been non-existent. We now need sunshine to warm the ground, not to mention the winter-weary bodies. The men’s and women’s pennant seasons kick off in the coming weeks and the club is on the lookout for the next generation of champions. On the social side, the Twilighters will be at it again from early October. There are still spaces for teams in the Wednesday evening competition. Going by last year’s series, which saw up to 100 bowlers on the greens for some barefoot fun on some weeks, this is fast growing into one of the best social/ sporting fixtures in town. Anyone interested in joining as a bowler, either in competition or social bowls, should contact the club or drop in on a Friday evening and say hello. You will be made very welcome. In the clubhouse, the Friday evening meals have carried on over winter to sustain the hardy souls who battled through the elements. So good has the attendance been that anyone wanting to enjoy the best-value two-course meal in town would be well advised to book a table from now on.

The popular jazz evening returns on September 19, from 5pm-8pm. The $10 admission also includes nibbles and the best-value beer and wine in town. Season launch The Torquay bowlers launched their new season on Friday night, and were washed out before a bowl was put down. The decision was made early to not risk the greens so early in the season, and the move was proven to be the right one when the morning broke to the sight of turf underwater. A good roll-up of about 100 members, friends, sponsors and dignitaries assembled for the opening formalities. Speakers were Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield and the Surf Coast Shire Mayor Libby Coker. The official opening was performed by Coker, who congratulated the club on the way it had taken on a role as a support base and meeting centre for community organisations. This year the men’s monthly triples event, which starts up on the first Wednesday of October, will include a special aggregate factor, sponsored by Hocking Stuart. This will significantly increase the prize money on offer, and the club is hoping that the combination of playing on some of the best greens in then region and the added financial rewards will attract bowlers from a wider area to enjoy the delights of our magnificent setting.

Who said playing in the rain isn’t fun? The girls enjoy a slide after their game on Saturday.

Water games FFV Provisional 2 Men: Surf Coast v Plenty Valley Lions

After a huge build-up, this crucial match, which was vital to Surf Coast’s promotion hopes, was washed out – a huge disappointment to all the players who had driven all the way in to Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The only highlight was the official inspector slipping over on the muddy embankment, prompting him to wildly gesticulate that the game was off.

U16 Girls: Surf Coast (5) v Geelong (0)

The Surf Coast Under 16 Girls team continued their hot run of form, putting in two solid halves of football, despite atrocious conditions, to come up with a 5-0 win. The girls should be very proud of their achievements this year. They now look like a very professional soccer outfit. But, as sport is a great source of life lessons and individual joy, the most fun came not from the teamwork on the pitch but the team celebration immediately after. What will be remembered in the future? The semifinal win or the penguin slides in the nearby puddle? It will be almost certainly the latter.

U14 Girls: Surf Coast Yellow (2) v Surf Coast Blue (0)

Blues v Yellow was always going to be a tough, close contest, regardless of weather conditions. The main Quay ground, standing the test of inclement weather, wasn’t as bad as you would have thought following the downpour, but still slippery, wet and making the ball feel like it was a paper mache balloon. The result was a well-deserved win to Yellow who have played consistently good football all year. At the time of the report Yellow’s grand final opponent was not yet finalised but if it is Kardinia, Yellow is not without a chance if they play their best football. As Blue showed the week before with their 2-0 win against the top side, even Kardinia have their weaknesses. Good luck Yellow!

U12 Girls: Surf Coast (5) v Bell Park (0)

The Australian ‘old mal’ titles concluded on the weekend at Crescent Head in New South Wales. Torquay’s Scott Wintle finished third in the 0/40s division. Photo: HUGH WEBB

A fine 5-0 win in tough conditions takes the Legends through to the big one. Hopefully they keep their heads and play one more good game. Mikayla will be a big loss next week due to dancing commitments, but she will be replaced by speedy gonzales Amy who will return from illness. Good luck Legends.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

bream at 35 centimetres on a soft plastic rig. Paul was fairly happy with this result, but then he spotted a large swirl in the water. Targeting the spot with his soft plastic, it wasn’t long after a few more casts, that the soft plastic he was using was hit hard once again. This time he knew it was a much larger fish than the bream he had just caught. After what can only be deemed as a great fight, Paul finally bagged the 52cm estuary perch. Paul didn’t get a chance to weigh his catch because as soon as the photo was taken he released it. This capped off a great day of fishing for Paul, and it’s great to see a fish as magnificent as this one is being returned to its natural environment to live to fight another day. If you have a fishing tale you want to share, forward a photo of you and your catch with your name, the type of fish, its weight, length, location and any other details, to mybigcatch@ bigpond.com

Julie Taylor with her mackerel caught in Queensland.

ALL YOUR FISHING NEEDS

10921

THIS week I have photos from anglers who have had the best of times fishing, but in two totally different regions. The first is of Paul and Julie Taylor who are on holiday in Queensland. They ventured out in their little 11-foot aluminium dingy called Tiny Tinny, fishing between Mission Beach and Dunk Island on the Queensland coast. Julie was more than up to the task when she hooked and bagged a Spanish mackerel. Paul had to be content with being on the other end of the camera recording Julie’s triumph. The fish measured just over 1.25 metres in length weighed in at an impressive 18 kilograms. Good on you Julie, hope the rest of the holiday treats you well. Paul Mayer didn’t have to travel all the way to Queensland to capture his big catch. Paul decided to head down along the coast to wet a line at Lorne in the Erskine River. After some initial success Paul caught a lovely

BFL Grand Final

Tuesday 7 September 2010

Hawks set to fly high DRYSDALE president Greg Scott remains confident the Hawks have what it takes to overcome in-form Geelong Amateur in this weekend’s Bellarine Football League grand final. The decider – which is a re-match of last year’s grand final in which Drysdale was successful – will be played at Torquay’s Spring Creek Reserve at 2.15pm on Saturday. Despite being thoroughly outplayed by Ammos two weeks back in the second semifinal, the Hawks showed a renewed fighting spirit in overcoming Queenscliff 10.24 (84) to 6.14 (50) in Saturday’s preliminary final. “It has been a very even season and although

Ammos beat us convincingly in the second semifinal, we had beaten them twice throughout the season,” Scott said. “They are travelling along pretty well, and we had a pretty hard slog on the weekend in tough conditions, but we are going in with a fair degree of confidence in our own ability that we can get the job done. “We played with a lot more commitment and intensity on the weekend, which was pleasing to see.” The Hawks will also be looking to emulate the feat of the club’s netballers, who won their third successive title with a hard-fought 38-30 victory over Barwon Heads on Saturday.
