C O U TA G LO RY ! It’s over! Queenscliff Football Club ended its 36-year premiership drought with an emphatic 39-point victory over Geelong Amateurs on Saturday. “We had worked really hard to get into the grand final and there was massive hype before the game, so to be able to handle that pressure and win the flag is a massive effort by the by the boys. Saturday was just reward for months and months of hard work.” - COACH HEATH JAMIESON

Inadequate parking in Drysdale needs innovative solutions to fix the problem

BY DAVID FINLAYSON

CAR PARKING across the retail and business centre of Drysdale is inadequate to cater for the rapidly growing demand and potentially unsafe in its current design, according to the Committee for Bellarine. Committee representatives met last week with City of Greater Geelong officers to again highlight the problem and urge council to consider solutions. Committee for Bellarine executive director, Tom O’Connor, said there needed to be an examination of the entire parking issue in Drysdale. He said innovative approaches such as a community-style bus service to the shopping centre needed to be considered as part of any solution. “This is about the long-term planning to cater for the population and housing growth that we are

seeing in Drysdale and surrounding areas,” he said. “It’s also about the design, practicality and adequacy of existing parking areas.” Mr O’Connor said the parking needs of those who worked within the Drysdale retail area also needed to be considered. “Consideration needs to be given to the safety of shoppers and to minimising the risk to shop owners and to improving access for the elderly and disabled,” he said. “For example, the dead-end section of Wyndham Street near the supermarket needs to be totally reconsidered. “At the moment there’s a mix of disabled and commercial vehicle parking in a confined little area with practically no room for either to manoeuvre safely.

“It’s impossible to turn a vehicle clearly in that confined area, with trucks and cars parked on either side. The shop owners have witnessed many accidents where cars have collided or taken out the bollards and mounted the footpath. “They have legitimate fears for the safety of shoppers and concerns of damage to actual shops themselves. “It’s only a matter of time before there is a very serious accident,” he said. Mr O’Connor said private land for parking in the immediate area needed to be secured to ensure future parking demand could be accommodated. He said he expected that council would produce a range of options for improvements to parking patterns and design in the area, which would then be publicly advertised to seek community and business comment.

CoGG manager engineering services David Hannah said that over the next three weeks council would review the parking arrangements in Wyndham Street. “We will also look at parking occupancy in that precinct,” he said. “Once complete we will be returning to the Committee for Bellarine with the findings of this review.” Earlier this year the committee also advocated for improved parking in Drysdale as part of a wider examination of traffic and retail centre parking issues across the Bellarine generally. Mr O’Connor said his committee continued to push the issue because it receives “constant complaints about the lack of parking in the shopping precinct”.

MAYOR’S COLUMN Coutas break the drought What a weekend! Well done to the mighty Coutas for their fantastic Bellarine Football League premiership win on Saturday, their first since 1975. So impressive was their 39-point victory over Geelong Amateurs, I temporarily handed over the mayoral robes to Coutas captain Tom Limb for the day. Congratulations to Tom and the team for finally breaking the drought and giving the whole Borough a reason to celebrate. The best ever Saturday even had an early start when the Under 18 boys convincingly won their B division grand final. It’s been a big September in sport and I must also congratulate our under 17 girls netball team that recently won its first grand final in 37 years. Well done to all our great sports and full credit to the club administration.

Another fantastic achievement Hot on the heels of Queenscliff Village News winning an Australia-wide award for best newsagent, another local business is winning accolades for its pies. The Rolling Pin Bakery won seven gold medals at the recent Great Aussie Pie competition – its best result ever. The award winning pies were the Chunky Workers Pie, Country Lamb, Beef and Burgundy, Curried Scallop, Breakfast, Chicken Satay and Jumbo Chunky Plain. Congratulations to all the team.

Pushing the boundaries Council has approached the State Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell seeking government support for the Victorian Electoral Commission to conduct a plebiscite on the issue of changing the borough’s boundaries. We are seeking to move the boundary west of

Fellows Road to incorporate all of Point Lonsdale, solving the ridiculous situation of having the township under two different municipalities. Minister Powell made a pre-election promise to support the community if it desired to become part of the Borough of Queenscliffe. It’s now time for her to put this plan in place.

Major developments Council will soon make announcements on the former Queenscliff High School site and Point Lonsdale main street. The former high school site reference group has been working for some time on developing a plan that incorporates open space, gardens and vegetation, and its recommendations will be presented to council followed by public submissions. Also nearing completion is the work being undertaken by the Point Lonsdale reference group on the main street. The group has primarily been looking at safety and usage of the street and its findings will also be presented at this month’s meeting prior to public review. Meanwhile, work continues on a strategy for the Coastal Moonah Woodlands, primarily focusing on Point Lonsdale, which will look at the replacement of trees and development of an additional reserve.

Upcoming events The Queenscliff/Lonsdale Business and Tourism golf classic will be held on October 20 at Queenscliff Golf Club. If you’d like to be involved in this great event, email victavernqueenscliff@hotmail.com or call Pete Carroll on 03 5258 1115.

Seniors Festival

There’s a great range of activities coming up in

the Borough during the 2011 Victorian Seniors Festival throughout October. Highlights include an open day and BBQ lunch at the Queenslciff and District Men’s Shed, high tea and entertainment at the Vue Grand, a war-bride story brought to life by a daughter’s dedication and a trunk full of memorabilia at the Queenscliff Senior Citizens Club, utilities of the Borough – Queenscliffe Historical Museum talk; and a Men’s and Women’s Health and Wellbeing Forum at the Bellarine Masonic Centre. Many events are free, or at a low cost, and a full program is available at the Borough offices.

Music Festival This year’s Queenscliff Music Festival, to be held during the last week of November, is going to be bigger and better than ever, thanks to a relocation to Princess Park and the opportunity for camping on the reserve, providing up to 1000 sites designed to attract younger audiences. This year’s event has a great program of 100 acts, including some of the best Australian and overseas performers.

Maritime weekend We’ve also commenced planning the Maritime weekend on the last full weekend of March 2012. We are looking at having a spectator’s boat following the race, rather than just watching from the shore. I am interested in hearing from any community members interested in supporting this idea. Send an email to bob.merriman@queenscliffe.vic. gov.au if you would like to be involved. Bob Merriman, Mayor, Borough of Queenscliffe

Fair calls at precinct forum BY DAVID FINLAYSON A PUBLIC forum on the Thirteenth Beach precinct of Barwon Heads last week heard diverse community views on how to balance road-user safety and protect the sensitive sand dune environment. The forum was called following a proposal for joint cycle-pedestrian trails through the dunes put forward by the Barwon Coast Committee earlier this year, and concerns by Bike Safe about cyclist safety along Thirteenth Beach Road. More than 140 people attended the Barwon Heads Association forum which was conducted in an atmosphere of good-will, despite the potentially emotive nature of the subject. The forum panel included local ward councillor Andy Richards, Ecology Australia’s Geoff Carr, Barwon Coast committee chairman Mark Edmonds,

Bike Safe president Barton van Laar and CoGG general manager city services Gary Van Driel. In a statement after the meeting, Barwon Heads Association president Geoffrey Waite said the forum “endorsed the notion that the community had an outstanding opportunity to trial many options from traffic calming, to speed restrictions, to making the road one-way, and others”. Mr Carr told the meeting the Thirteenth Beach area environmentally was “a rare and precious asset not to be lost”. Mr Edmonds said Barwon Coast was concerned about the safety of road users, especially as traffic volumes would increase with the development of the new suburb of Armstrong Creek. Mr van Laar said Bike Safe wished to work towards making the road safe, but said “we are not saying how to make it safe”.

Councillor Andy Richards addressing a public forum last week on the Thirteenth Beach precinct called by the Barwon Heads Association.

Speaking after the meeting, Mr van Laar said Bike Safe was thrilled with the broad support shown for improving safety for Thirteenth Beach Road. Councillor Richards said options for the road had been examined by council officers at the request of others, but that the council currently had no funds for Thirteenth Beach Road works. He said the council’s road and cycle safety priorities for the area where focused within Barwon Heads proper. Speaking after the meeting, Cr Richards said he was supportive of a working group forming that took into account the whole area. He said a meeting had been previously scheduled

between council and Barwon Coast for October and formation of a working group, and Bike Safe’s concerns about Thirteenth Beach Road, would be on the agenda. “That’s what we’ve committed to – nothing more,” he said. Mr van Laar told the Bellarine Times that as options were considered by authorities Bike Safe believed the needs of all road users should be considered, including local families, surf club users, surfers, beach visitors, sightseers, horse trainers and emergency services. “After so many years, we just hope a decision about the road can be made soon,” he said.

Invisible: bleak future for coastal wetlands A RECENT study has revealed Victoria’s – and by extension Barwon Heads’ – mangroves and saltmarshes are under threat from rising sea levels and coastal development, as well as being misunderstood by land managers and undervalued by the public. Professor Paul Boon’s four year study, from Victoria University’s Institute for Sustainability and Innovation, shows human impacts and development have destroyed up to 20 per cent of the state’s coastal marshes. Despite being important breeding ground for birds, fish, marine and estuarine species, protecting against erosion and providing filtration of runoff from the land, mangroves and saltmarshes are not referred to specifically under Victorian legislation for protection according to Professor Boon.

“Disturbingly, the knowledge of mangroves and coastal saltmarsh is patchy and the management of these areas is poorly coordinated. “Saltmarshes are largely unknown and therefore ‘invisible’ to the broad community. Awareness of the environmental role they fulfill is almost nonexistent. Professor Boon said predicted sea level rises would push these systems inland, where their retreat would be blocked by seawalls, farmland and housing developments along much of the coast. “These saltmarshes with nowhere to go will simply drown,” he said. Recommendations include the reservation or purchase of environmental land to support their inland retreat, new buffer zones to coastal development and the creation of a single body to coordinate management.

Ferry invigorated for future BY DAVID FINLAYSON TOURISM gems from the Bellarine will be on show in Melbourne next weekend on board the newly refitted cross-bay ferry, the MV Queenscliff. A multi-million dollar make-over for the 18-yearold ferry will be publicly on-show while the vessel is moored for the weekend in Docklands at Waterfront City. The ferry has been off-line for several months during the refit in Tasmania. Victorian Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher will officially launch the make-over on Monday afternoon at the docklands. A Searoad Ferries spokesperson said the refurbished vessel will include a new “super comfortable” lounge with 360-degree views for relaxing during the trip. The vessel will have a new on-board cafe with qualified barista and free wifi for those needing to keep in touch during the trip. The front of the vessel includes a new observations area with bar seating and full-length

windows with panoramic views. An interactive showcase will screen documentaries and visitor information while providing a history of the region. Searoad Ferries has also introduced a new

ticketing system which allows online bookings. Wine and beer tasting and live music will be regular features on the vessel as it plies the route between Queenscliff and Sorrento.

Searoad Ferries’ general manager Matt McDonald said the opportunity to introduce changes such as the ferry re-vamp was too good to pass up. “It’s a business that has so much goodwill and loads of promise for the reinvigorated future.” Searoad Ferries has been operating since 1987 on Australia’s busiest car and passenger route, with more than 700,000 passengers transported across the bay each year. During the public unveiling weekend in Melbourne the MV Queenscliff will have its car deck transformed into a kids’ playground with an appearance from Thomas the Tank Engine, thanks to Bellarine Rail. Queenscliff Marine Discovery Centre will have a marine life touch tank and Big 4 Beacon Resort’s go-kart track and a jumping castle will be operating. For the adults, the upper deck will offer tastings of Mornington and Bellarine wines and regional produce tastings with performances from this year’s Queenscliff Music Festival line-up. More information can be found at the Searoad Ferries website, at www.searoad.com.au

Bushfire simulation through modelling technology BY ALISON DEANE VICTORIA’S FUTURE Fire Project team has been awarded the prestigious Motorola Innovation Knowledge Agency Award at the recent Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council conference. The Future Fire Management project and the Barwon Otway Bushfire Management Planning Pilot – a joint initiative between the Department

of Sustainability and Parks Victoria – received the award as one of Australia’s most progressive and innovative projects in the fields of fire and emergency. “The work DSE and Parks Victoria are doing to constantly improve knowledge and planning around bushfires is vital in helping to protect communities from the threat of future bushfires,” said DSE Chief Fire Officer Ewan Waller. The projects use Phoenix-Rapidfire, a cutting-

edge bushfire modelling technology that simulates bushfires and models their potential impacts on human assets, values and ecosystems. “It’s an exciting development that will help reduce the impacts of severe and damaging bushfires on Victorian communities. “By using new technology, science and research; we obtain a more comprehensive and accurate picture of bushfire risk to lives and property, and can plan preparedness works such as planned burning

accordingly. “This approach to fire management will be adopted progressively across Victoria,” said Mr Waller. A pilot plan exemplifying the work of the Future Fire Project, the Barwon Otway Bushfire Management Plan, will be released for public comment in coming months. The project was supported by the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre and the University of Melbourne.

Residents meet mayor over bridge BY DAVID FINLAYSON A MEETING with the mayor last week to discuss a proposed heavy-load bridge on Bayshore Avenue across Griggs Creek has opened a glimmer of hope for concerned Clifton Springs residents. The meeting followed a concerted campaign by residents that Sunday-week-ago saw 200 residents donning red to protest and a petition of 800 residents sent to the planning minister. Under existing plans, the bridge would be the only link to a proposed new Bisinella housing estate in the northern end of the Jetty Road urban growth area.

For years, construction trucks and residents have had no other access to the estate, placing heavy traffic demands on Clifton Springs feeder streets to the bridge. The matter will go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in late October. Drysdale-Clifton Springs Community Association secretary Patrick Hughes said the meeting between a handful of resident representatives and City of Greater Geelong mayor John Mitchell last week was â&#x20AC;&#x153;constructiveâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councillor Mitchell told representatives that the council will investigate whether alternative access

routes can be created into the growth area to relieve pressure on the proposed bridge,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He also said council would explore whether it can impose a three-tonne load limit on Bayshore Avenue itself, to prevent heavy construction vehicles using it.â&#x20AC;? Representatives were told a right-of-way access existed across farm land from McDermott Road into the northern Jetty Road estate and this could be turned into an access road to the Bisinella land. Bisinella would also be required to submit a construction management plan detailing how it would minimise construction work on either side

An ambulance attended to a female cyclist following a crash at the corner of Blackrock and Thirteenth Beach roads last week. The section of road has been in the news recently over safety concerns for cyclists and a potential widening of the roads to accommodate them. Cyclists at the scene said no cars were involved in the accident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could be attributed to rider error on wet roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the rider was uninjured.

A few days prior to their meeting with the mayor, Clifton Springs residents gathered to protest a heavy-load bridge over Griggs Creek.

of Griggs Creek, and construction traffic while the bridge is built. Resident spokesman Gary Dean said the meeting had allowed residents to put their concerns to the mayor face-to-face for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that it might be possible to create a three-tonne limit on Bayshore Avenue, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear who would police that limit,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only real resolution to this situation is a north-south road within the development giving construction vehicles access to Bisinellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land. That should have been in the plans from day one.â&#x20AC;?

Coincidence and good turf timing BY DAVID FINLAYSON WORN SYNTHETIC turf from a Portarlington Bowls Club green now graces the playing yard around St Leonards Primary School thanks to coincidence and good timing. The bowls club was about to pull up and replace one of its synthetic greens when the school had just inherited a brand-new building, but the surrounds were a typical post-construction muddy mess. A chance discussion during a game of bowls between the school council president, Greg Lee, and club secretary, Royce Collier saw an idea emerged.

The club donated the turf and with help from parents and community friends the turf was relocated and re-laid around the school. “It has been fantastic during the wet winter. It’s much better than asphalt or other hard surfaces. It’s great for playing and ball games,” school principal Natalie Jenkins said. “It saved the school lots of money and that allowed us to direct limited funds to other things we need.” Mr Collier said the turf was about eight years old and had reached the end of its useful life for bowling, but was otherwise in good condition. The heavy sand-filled turf proved a challenge to

relocate, even when cut into 9 x 2 metre strips. A bowling green turf has 40 tonne of sand meshed into it when laid. Mr Collier said it had cost the club about $120,000 to replace the turf. The school captains presented the club with a certificate of thanks for its generosity. The synthetic playground has the approval of the students, with comments such as: “it’s great for cartwheels”; “my socks don’t get as wet”; and “when I fall over playing ‘tiggy’ I don’t get hurt”. A clear winner and Mr Collier said the club was ‘very happy’ to assist.

Members of the Portarlington Bowls Club (from left) Royce Collier, Win Vallance and Colin Ranger receive a ‘thank you’ certificate from St Leonards school captains Riley Cartledge and Rebekah Arthurson.

Creeper control BY DAVID FINLAYSON A HELICOPTER was used last week as part of the ongoing battle to control the invasive week Bridal Creeper which has a foot-hold in native vegetation around the Bellarine’s coastal areas. Bridal Creeper is a major threat to the environment and is classed as a weed of national significance. The helicopter sprayed a biological control agent, the rust fungus Puccinia myrsiphllii, on clumps of Bridal Creeper in hard-to-reach coastal vegetation. The spraying was a joint operation by Bellarine Bayside, Barwon Coast, the City of Greater Geelong and the Bellarine Catchment Network volunteer groups. Barwon Coast manager of natural resource management Warren Chapman said the rust fungus control agent had been introduced to Australia with approval of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service because it specifically targets Bridal Creeper. The fungus infests the underside of the weed’s leaf, taking nutrients from the weed and reducing its

ability to grow and reproduce. The spore water does not harm native vegetation. Volunteers collected rust-fungus infected plants from around the Bellarine, which have been mixed with rainwater to produce the ‘spore-water’ to be sprayed on the weeds. The intention is to help spread the fungus, Mr Chapman said. He said the spraying had been an annual activity once-a-year since 2005. Areas treated include Point Richards flora and fauna reserve, Point Lonsdale and Ocean Grove foreshores, Ocean Grove spit and Barwon Heads and Breamlea foreshores. Mr Chapman said the Thiteenth Beach area was a particular focus this year for the southern part of the peninsula. The Heliwork helicopter is based in Bendigo and specialises in agricultural spraying. Bridal Creeper is an aggressive plant capable of smothering native ground flora and small shrubs. It forms a thick tuberous root mass which inhibits growth of other plants. Its berries are eaten by birds and foxes, enabling rapid spread.

Committee for Bellarine committee member Kerry Bell receives a donation cheque from Reece Drysdale branch manager Gavin Wright last week to support ‘Wheelie Day’ activities.

Wheelie day rolling along BY DAVID FINLAYSON LOCAL businesses and schools are getting behind ‘Wheelie Day’ community events planned around the Jayco Herald Sun cycling race stage-three finish in Drysdale on October 14. The stage finish and official marshalling areas are likely to focus around Princess and Collins streets, linked by the main Drysdale roundabout. Reece Plumbing last week donated $3,000 to support family entertainment and activities such as bike education for children as part of the ‘Wheelie Day’ program. Reece Drysdale branch manager Gavin Wright said his company had been part of the Drysdale community since 2007 and was pleased to assist with the community event. “Opportunities for families to get together and celebrate at events like the cycling tour should be encouraged,” he said. “It’s also an opportunity to get messages through to kids about bike safety.” He said that about 1,200 kids a year in Victoria were treated at hospitals for injuries associated

with not wearing helmets on bikes, scooters and skateboards. Committee for Bellarine spokesperson Kerry Bell said the family activities planned for the afternoon of the race at the Drysdale primary school oval would be supplemented by lead-up competitions and other activities. “Four colouring and drawing competitions for all ages, from prep to year 12, will have some excellent prizes, such as bikes,” Ms Bell said. “Entry forms will be available from local schools across the Bellarine and can be downloaded from the Committee for Bellarine website. “There will also be a raffle, bike safety sessions and a ride-to-school day.” Ms Bell said the primary school oval ‘Wheelie Day’ events would include marquees with food, beverages, musical entertainment and activities until around 6pm. She emphasised the celebrations were for all residents of the Bellarine, not only those from Drysdale. Details and colouring competition forms: www.committeeforbellarine.com.au

Christine on solar energy BY DAVID FINLAYSON A WORLD record holding, locally-designed solarpowered car helped kids with their studies when it visited Clifton Springs primary school last week. Students at the school studying energy as part of a ‘how things work’ theme became interested in solar power. Coincidentally, parent Lindsay Mole happened to be part of the team at Ford Geelong who helped build and race one of the cars in the first world solar challenge from Darwin to Adelaide in 1987. Before you know it, arrangements were made and ‘Christine’ – as she is now known – was transported from Melbourne to Clifton Springs for the students to study first-hand. The car, now part of the Aurora solar car team’s fleet, came second in the 1987 challenge at an average speed of 44.48 kph. Proving its versatility, in 2007 it took the world record for the longest distance for an electric car on a single battery charge at 811 kilometres.

Students listened as Lindsay spoke about the car, its design and its achievements. He included tales of the drivers’ sweltering days in the car’s cockpit under the heat of the northern Australian sun during the challenge events. The car covered between 400 and 500 kms each day over the 3000 km Darwin-Adelaide challenge. Since then the car has competed in Japan and many other solar-powered events. ‘Christine’ is built from carbon fibre, polystyrene and other composite materials and is 4.1 metres long. Lindsay told students how the solar panel roof tilted to catch the sun, and also inadvertently acted as a sail in the right conditions. He said the streamlined design was based on the natural contours of birds and dolphins to achieve the best aerodynamics. Students from the school built their own model solar cars as part of their studies, testing then on the school’s basketball court.

Queenscliff Primary School receives funding boost BY DAVID FINLAYSON AN INNOVATIVE partnership between Queenscliff Primary School and the Marine Discovery Centre has been recognised with a $25,000 award under the NAB Schools First awards program. The ‘seed funding’ award will allow the school to further develop a partnership that has been growing over recent years. Queenscliff Primary School teacher MorganLee Wilson said there were several specific

projects that the award would fund. “We will work with the Marine Discovery Centre on ‘the great crab survey’, where native and introduced crabs in Swan Bay will be surveyed,” she said. “The students will also take a visual record through photographs and videos of the Swan Bay and survey local fauna and flora around the bay.” The school will also host an environmental expo to show its work and help promote a better understanding of the local marine and associated environments.

Ms Wilson said the school was delighted with the award. “The students celebrated today with cupcakes but there will be an official celebration in October in our Environment Learning Centre at the school,” she said. Ms Wilson acknowledged the work of parent Alex Giannuzzi who helped develop the award submission and who also works at the Marine Discovery Centre. “Centre staff will work closely with teachers and students on the projects,” she said.

NAB Schools First is a partnership between the NAB Bank, the Foundation for Young Australians and the Australian Council for Educational Research that rewards outstanding schoolcommunity partnerships which have outcomes for students. NAB local spokesperson Jodi Heath said 863 applications had been received for the award. “It was extremely difficult for the judges to select this year’s winners and that is what makes the award won by Queenscliff Primary School such a great achievement,” Ms Heath said.

Drysdale & Clifton Springs in Focus

DCSCA UPDATE Rail Trail and Jetty Road. DCSCA’s proposal dovetails into a council plan to install a bike path in a section of Jetty Road – a project that is number five on the council’s top twenty bike-related projects. The Northern Cycling Trail is one of three trails that DCSCA is proposing for Drysdale and Clifton Springs, as part of a Bellarine-wide cycling network for locals and visitors.

Residents say ‘No bridge!’ DCSCA members and friends are among the many hundreds of residents opposing a ‘no load limit’ bridge in Bayshore Avenue, Clifton Springs. DCSCA has been supporting and assisting the Clifton Springs Independent Ratepayers Group (CSIRG), which is leading the campaign against the bridge. The bridge would be the only way that construction vehicles can enter and leave the northern end of the Jetty Road Urban Growth Area, which lacks a major north-south road running its whole length. Two hundred residents attended a rally on 11 September; one hundred and twenty people attended a public meeting on 8 September, with 20 more sending apologies; and 864 residents have signed a petition to state Planning Minister Matthew Guy. On October 26-27, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) will hold public hearings at Geelong Magistrates Court about the proposed bridge; CSIRG and DCSCA urge all locals to attend and support their neighbours.

Promoting local cycling trails

Promoting local economic development DCSCA President Doug Carson is in a project team based at the SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre that is creating a local training & economic development plan. In September and October, team members will visit every business in Drysdale & Clifton Springs, explaining the plan and its benefits for them. A Business Summit in November will be the basis of the first draft of the plan, which will be launched in early 2012. DCSCA is very pleased to be part of the project. We’ve said consistently that plans to expand the area’s population should be accompanied by plans to provide new jobs; and we’ve proposed several low-cost approaches. This project will enable local people to drive the area’s economic development.

Diplomacy in Drysdale BY DAVID FINLAYSON THE UNITED Nations came to Drysdale for a day last week last, in the form of a student role-play exercise for secondary schools from across the region. The ‘model UN’ is a concept promoted by the UN Association of Australia to help secondary students understand the role of international relations and diplomacy. Students took roles as ambassadors of UN member nations to discuss the topic ‘The Future of Indigenous People: Rights, Recognition and Respect’. Bellarine Secondary College hosted

the event involving seven schools and 70 students. Student development leader Cheryl Linford said the forum was set up as a horseshoe of tables to replicate the floor of the UN Assembly. “This is the second time we have held a ‘model UN’. Last year we looked at gender equity,” Ms Linford said. “Students spend a significant amount of time researching the history and political viewpoints of their designated country. They prepare a set of options and beliefs which they present in a two-minute speech, followed by questions from the delegates.

“After a caucus discussion the students proposed amendments to a resolution. These are then voted on. It’s a very practical, interactive experience for students to get involved in. “It’s a wonderful way of raising awareness of other ways of doing things around the world. Kids need to have a world knowledge and this is a great way of gaining that,” she said. Ms Linford said the students received a delegate’s pack with background for the model and explained their roles. ‘Model UNs’ are held throughout Australia, culminating in an event held in Canberra.

A cause for Curves BY DAVID FINLAYSON

will be asked to donate $5 per service, all of which goes to Breast Cancer Australia.” Keating said Curves was holding the event to support breast cancer month and because “every woman knows someone who has been touched by breast cancer, either directly or indirectly”. She said the gym also supports other good causes such as Relay for Life and the Heart Foundation. During October, ladies can also donate used goodcondition bras through Curves Drysdale to be sent to needy women in Uganda at the Bushikori Women’s Centre. She said the gym was also supporting the Drysdale Pink for a Day breast cancer research fundraiser on October 7, being co-ordinated by Bellarine Gift Haven. “One-in-three women are diagnosed with cancer of some sort during their lifetime,” she said. The Girls Night Out will be held at the SpringDale community hall between 7.30-9.30pm on Friday October 28. Tickets at $10 each are on sale from Curves gym in Drysdale, phone 5253 3029.

CURVES gym for ladies in Drysdale is behind a ‘Girls Night Out’ fundraiser in October to support the work of Breast Cancer Australia. Women from around the Bellarine are invited to have themselves pampered while viewing the latest ranges of make-up, jewellery, clothing, books and other items during an evening out. Curves co-owner Andrea Keating said a similar event was a real hit at the gym last year, so it was moving to the larger SpringDale community hall this year. “Last year we raised more than $1,200 and had about 90 people attend, but I think we can do much better this year and we hope to raise at least $2,000,” Ms Keating said. “The hire of the hall is being donated by the neighbourhood centre and all of the stall holders are donating their time. “Those wanting to be pampered from head to toe

Bellarine residents ready to lend a hand BY ALISON DEANE VOLUNTEERING can have immeasurable benefits for all involved, providing both an immense sense of happiness from selflessly giving time, and help to people in serious need. A recent appeal from the City of Greater Geelong has received a fantastic response from the Bellarine community with many new volunteers offering their time for the Meals on Wheels program.

“Currently we have volunteers delivering meals to over 100 clients from all around Drysdale, Portarlington, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads, but when they are on holidays or unable to make it on a certain day we can be very stretched,” said Community Development portfolio holder Cr Kylie Fisher. “It would be a great help to have a few extra volunteers to work into the roster. Volunteers can choose to work on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, for approximately two hours each time, with

Bellarine Peninsula Meals on Wheels centres located in both Ocean Grove and Drysdale. “The City appreciates and strongly supports volunteers in the community. We rely on the hard work and dedication of many volunteers to deliver some of our most important services.” Other volunteer-run programs offered by the City of Greater Geelong include the Visitor Information Centres and the L2P learner driver program.

Children’s garden ready to go BY LUKE GRIFFITHS THE JAN Juc Pre-School is set to unveil a ‘Children’s Garden’ in memory of Bev Jacobsen, a much loved and respected staff member of more than 15 years who passed away from cancer three years ago. The pre-school and Jan Juc community joined forces to build the garden as a lasting legacy of Ms Jacobsen. The garden will be used as an outdoor reading area and will also include a number of sensory garden beds. One of the garden beds will feature succulents from Ms Jacobsen’s personal garden, which was her favourite type of plant. A small commemorative plaque will be included within the garden. The pre-school’s coordinator Sue Gout said that the garden was built with practicality in mind and that it is a fitting tribute. “Bev had a wonderful manner with the children, a great sense of humour she shared with everyone and a positive, happy outlook on life in general. She had some wonderful little sayings that we recall with very fond memories. “Bev will always be part of this centre – she gave so much in so many ways and her memorial garden will become a place for quiet play experiences for the children, for stories to be read, for children to share time together.” The placing of the garden will also allow Ms Jacobsen’s family, friends and former students to view the garden from the pre-school’s boundary fence within the Bob Pettit Reserve. The garden was funded by the pre-school with donations from parents and the assistance of local tradespeople. “The garden will be enjoyed by all the children, parents and staff for many years,” Ms Gout said.

Jebeweng indigenous dancers will perform at the formal opening of the ‘Children’s Garden’ on October 23 at 11am. A plant registry for anyone wishing to donate to

the garden has been set up at McGain’s Nursery in Anglesea. For more information telephone the pre-school on (03) 5261 2643.

Not troubled by the wind THE WIND is blowing but the turbines aren’t spinning. For the past few months the wind turbine at the corner of Thirteenth Beach and Black roads has been impervious to even the strongest gale, seeming to perpetually have its back to the wind, arms crossed, refusing to harvest any of the energy coming its way off the ocean. Thankfully, an explanation for its refusal to spin is at hand.

Barwon Water took over the operation of the turbine in the early 2000s and say that it is in good working order but switched off for general maintenance works. “The wind turbine on Black Rock Road is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance,” said General Manager Water Systems Carl Bicknell “It is expected to be operating within the next month.”

The wind turbine on Black Rock Road was the first to be built in Victoria. It was erected in the 1980s by the then State Electricity Commission as a demonstration turbine. Barwon Water took over its operation in the early 2000s. It produces about 60 megawatt hours of renewable electricity a year, which is fed into the grid – equivalent to energy used by six households a year.

2011 JAYCO HERALD SUN TOUR 13 AND 14 OCTOBER 2011 The Jayco Herald Sun Tour is a rolling festival of cycling events being staged across Victoria. The event offers an action packed cycling extravaganza, ranging from elite and past Tour de France winners to the novice cyclists. Two stages of this prestigious event will be staged in Geelong. THURSDAY 13 OCTOBER The peloton will arrive in Geelong for Stage 2, contesting the finish on Deviation Road after racing from Ballarat. This day also includes the Masters and Amateur Criterium Races and the Cycle Victoria School Zones Finals being held at the Belmont Criterium Track. FRIDAY 14 OCTOBER The Jayco Herald Sun Tour competitors will start on the Geelong Waterfront, race to Lorne and then back to Geelong via the Great Ocean Road, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove to finish in Drysdale on the Bellarine Peninsula. Friday’s cycling festival will also feature the Honda Hybrid Women’s Tour Team Time Trial, in the early afternoon prior to the Elite Men’s peloton arriving in Drysdale for the exciting finish of Stage 3 of the Tour. TEMPORARY CHANGED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS These will apply in Drysdale on Friday 14 October 2011. The majority of the races are conducted under a rolling road closure which means the road is only closed for a short period while the race travels through. However, to facilitate the safe staging of the men’s Stage 3 finish and the women’s Time Trial event, there will be full road closures and restricted vehicle access on: • parts of Princess Street, and • Geelong-Portarlington Road between Murroduc Road and Batman Road. Further details can be found at: • www.geelongaustralia.com.au • www.jaycoheraldsuntour.com.au

Alternatively, you can contact USM Events on 8698 2000 during business hours. Notifications with further detail and access information will be distributed to affected residents this week.

The wind turbine at the corner of Black Rock and Thirteenth Beach has moved for month or to due to maintenance works being undertaken by Barwon Water.

Why the dole face if it’s easier? NEW FEDERAL Government legislation is set to make life easier for students to access youth allowance. The Gillard Government announced it will introduce legislation to the Parliament this week that eliminates regional eligibility distinctions for students from inner regional areas, giving students on the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast greater access to independent youth allowance. According Member for Corangamite Darren Cheesemen, students on the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast will be able to access independent Youth Allowance in the same way as students from outer regional, remote and very remote areas. “Under Labor, an additional 25,000 students have

accessed Youth Allowance in just more than a year,” Darren Cheeseman said. “From January 1 next year, students across all regional areas will have the same access to independent Youth Allowance. “The Gillard Government has removed the distinctions between regional students so, regardless of whether they live in an inner regional, outer regional, remote or very remote area, all regional students will be subject to the same rules.” Darren Cheeseman said the Gillard Government had listened to students in inner regional areas, including students on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast.

partially adopts the recommendations of Kwong Lee Dow AM’s independent Review of Student Income Support Reforms, tabled in Parliament last week, as well as the additional support for students through the boost to Relocation Scholarships. The Gillard Government has also increased the value of the Relocation Scholarship for eligible students to recognise the higher costs that students from regional areas often experience when they relocate for study. From 1 January next year, eligible regional students will receive a Relocation Scholarship of $4000 for the first year of study, $2000 for each of the second and third years and $1000 for subsequent years.

Your one stop plaster and paint shop BY GAIL CHRISFIELD

The location has changed and the settling in process is in full swing but it’s still business as usual at the new Torquay Interior Linings premises in the West Coast Business Park. AFTER six years in Baines Crescent, owner Matt Kacprzak moved his business six weeks ago. “We simply outgrew where we were,” he explained. “Our new factory and showroom give

us plenty of scope to expand our range of plastering products and to move into paint products, which we’ve only been dabbling in until now. “We stock the full range of Haymes paints for interior and exterior use, and offer a colour matching service to help people find the exact shade they’re after. “Many people who only think of us as plastering specialists might be surprised to learn that we also carry an extensive range of marble and granite tiles. “And of course we still stock a full range of plaster products, including plasterboard, cornices and other features, plastering tools and equipment.” Torquay Interior Linings also offer the largest range of Haymes paint on the Surf Coast, with a Haymes colour wall, and a sands colour wall. Kacprzak and his staff provide an installation service and are happy to recommend reputable local painters and

It’s time to step into life! BY ALISON DEANE

A dance movement similar to Zumba helps Forrest residents shake off their Mondayitis.

Fit and fun in Forrest SING AND dance your way to fitness is the message of Forrest and District Neighbourhood House. All those Mondayitis sufferers can take on Mondays with an active dance movement similar to Zumba. According to Neighbourhood house coordinator Gillian Brew class participants in the program – which is run in the morning – shake their stuff to fun upbeat music. If people want to give their bodies a rest but their vocal cords a work out, in the afternoon an a capella singing group gives people the opportunity to do just that. Participation costs $2 and no experience is necessary; – it’s a fun relaxed get-together to sing. For those not necessarily of the musical persuasion, or those who have triumphed over their Mondayitis and arrived at Thursday looking for something else to do,

a gentle exercise program run at 9.30am followed by Morning Tea ($2) makes for an appealing option. People also have the opportunity to sharpen up after morning tea with mind games run from 11-12: a great way to keep those grey cells in the pink and have some fun. In the evening on Thursdays, a yoga program focusing on health in body and mind is run. Mrs Brew is encouraging anyone who enjoys cooking up a storm, making new friends and helping out their community to drop in at the house for a cuppa and a chat. Forrest and District Neighbourhood House’s office hours are Monday 1-3pm, Tuesday 9am-12pm and Thursday 9am-4pm. Phone 03 5236 6591 or email gbrew@swarh.vic.gov.au

IF YOU’VE been wondering about the keen fitness fanatics working out at the crack of dawn and after dark along the Torquay foreshore this winter, they are Step Into Life. Step Into Life outdoor personal training programs cater for all ages and fitness levels and incorporate a flexible schedule to work towards personal fitness goals, all whilst enjoying the outdoor beauty our coastal environment has to offer. Personal trainer at the Torquay chapter Rose Constance runs cardio sessions involving endurance, interval and circuit work in the mornings, vibrant kickboxing and fitball sessions at night, and toning through free weights and rubberised resistance. “It’s more than just fitness, it’s a total health and fitness package,” she said. Ocean Grove’s Step Into Life trainer Penny Tomkinson said everyone involved feels good about themselves and have been getting great results. “It’s all about setting goals, and some are reaching goals they’d set for Christmas. People are running who thought they never would, and reaching distances they never thought possible.” Being a member of a group creates a sense of belonging, and Step Into Life members take on a variety of challenges and social events as they work toward their fitness goals – including the monthly Jan Juc to Bells Beach time trial followed by breakfast, Run Geelong, Relay For Life and Melbourne’s new City2Sea.

“I can’t believe the response we’ve been getting on social events. It’s very social, group members support each other, and we always welcome new people.” “There are a lot of new people to the area and it is amazing the friendships that have formed,” said Ms Constance. “To achieve a goal is not a casual thing, it’s a big commitment. It’s definitely a lot of fun, but also a good workout.” To start your summer fitness regime try a free trial session with Step Into Life, call (03) 8400 2410 (Rose Constance in Torquay) or (03) 5257 1676 (Penny Tomkinson in Ocean Grove) to chat about goals, and for more information see the website at www. stepintolife.com.au

Learning from the waves BY SAM SUENDERMANN GREAT OCEAN Road Surf Tours is a locally owned and operated surf school offering lessons and coaching for beginner through to advanced surfers. Located on the Surf Coast Highway next to the Caltex service station all surf instructors are highly qualified and extremely passionate about surfing. Owners Alistair and Rachel Lawson pride themselves on having the lowest student to instructor ratio on the Surf Coast and specialise in personalised coaching and daily surf tours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year has been busy for GOR Surf Tours as we have been nominated in the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Lawson.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well as providing surf lessons and tours, our Next Level Surf Coaching, aimed at current surfers that who like to improve, has been a huge success. With a number of surfers coming back regularly to learn technique through video analysis, we have looked into new ways to focus on their surfing.â&#x20AC;? The Next Level Surf Coaching is now being offered in an exciting new product called Surf Squad, enabling surfers to attend monthly video analysis sessions over four months to improve their surfing technique. GOR Surf Tours also delivers the inaugural Surfing Australia â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SurfGromsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; development program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; put together by Surfing Australia and supported by companies such as Quiksilver and Vegemite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is aimed at teaching 5-12 year olds core surfing skills,

fundamental ocean awareness and beach safety skills. As an accredited Surfing Australia Surf School GOR Surf Tours have adopted the program and coowner Rachel Lawson is looking forward to both of her kids being involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love working with children and I am passionate and dedicated about enhancing childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development,â&#x20AC;? she said.

No bridge over troubled Springs Dear Editor, It is quite clear that the community around Bayshore Avenue in Clifton Springs do not want the added traffic that a bridge over the delicate Griggs Creek would bring about. It would be the democratic thing to do to scrap such an insane project. It is quite clear that the whole infrastructure around the neighbourhood does not provide for heavy construction vehicles. The streets are small, quiet, suburban streets, not wide freeways. This does not seem to be taken into consideration with the projected building of this no weight-limit bridge over the delicate ecology of the Griggs Creek. We have passed the era of ecological vandalism and are now in an era of enlightenment, where the environment, clean air and quality of life are of the utmost importance. It is quite clear that the whole suburb would be suffocating under the fumes of the traffic planned to take this new route. In other words, such a project is absolutely unacceptable on so many levels. Yvette Grandjean Clifton Springs

No netball again Dear Editor,

ANDREW KATOS MP

Member for South Barwon District

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any State Government concerns you may have. Electorate Office: 152 High St Belmont 3216 Phone: 5244 2288 Fax: 5244 2327 Email:andrew.katos@parliament.vic.gov.au

It is extremely disappointing to see that the senior netball competition for the Year 9/10/11 age group at Surfworld has been cancelled once again. I find it hard to believe that the Surf Coast Shire and Surfworld are unable to secure teams to enable our children to participate in this competition. The kids in this division have had such a fun time playing together over the past six years. They have been committed and eager to play each season. It is obvious that there has been little or no advertising done to encourage more teams to join and those that were committed to playing again in this division have just withdrawn their teams this week. What is the policy on teams being liable to play once they have committed to play in this division? Once a team shows an interest and enrols a team to play, there should be no further discussion about leaving the competition for the season. I am fed up with the attitude on a local level about no one being responsible and accountable in these situations. Does anyone realise how many boys and girls have been let down yet again, after thinking the serious netball was to be officially resumed this week? Does anyone really care? There needs to be a real shake up on the Surf Coast! The staff that we taxpayers are employing should take more interest in establishing youth programs that are actually functional. I am sure there are many parents out there who would sooner have their children involved in sport or other local recreational activities than at a loose end with nothing to do. It is a shame to think that after having these

Authorised by: A Katos 152 High St Belmont

children involved in netball for the past six years it has to come to a standstill. There appears to be no interest whatsoever in getting it up and running again for 2012 either. Shame, shame Surf Coast Shire! How about putting in a more concerted effort to assist the youth of this town. Annoyed Parent Jan Juc

Bike Lanes along 13th Beach Road Dear Editor Regarding the Bellarine Times article on “Bike Safety” and a bike lane from Ocean Grove to Apollo Bay and the environmental issues associated with widening Thirteenth Beach Road. This should not need to be sanctioned by Cadel Evans, but should be driven by the need to provide safe cycling for the hundreds of cyclists of all ages, local and visiting, who regularly ride on our roads. Recreational activities of surfers and fishermen have been catered for in the creation of car parks and infrastructure that has necessitated removal of vegetation. There are no existing safe cycling lanes to link Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads to Torquay. Growth of Armstrong Creek, Torquay and Ocean Grove will potentially lead to an increase in cyclists and vehicle traffic using Thirteenth Beach Road for recreational activities or as a short-cut to Torquay. Strategies should be developed to meet current and future needs. Regarding accidents reported by VicRoads, most responsible organisations work on risk management and minimising harm. There have been two cyclist fatalities in the Breamlea area. Are we saying we only take action once we have a statistic – which represents the death or incapacitation of a person? Then there is the compounding effect of such a tragedy on families and society such as long-term medical costs. Sand dunes can be stabilised; vegetation can be regenerated as occurs naturally over time. Minimise the risk for cyclists, because lives cannot be regenerated. Let’s have a great coastal cycle path so that all who enjoy this healthy recreation can use it safely. David Haack Ocean Grove

Jason likes Yvonne

An Yvonne pearler for Jason Dear Editor, A coupla guys and I got mom’s organ and piano on Sunday a week ago – felt lik robbers. I had found her neglected farmhouse in Peterborough one week ago. My brother and VIP Pest Control were trying to deal with termites eating her kitchen sink cupboard. The light in the hallway will not turn off. The state trustee has neglected it for two and a half years. He was quite rude on the phone. I have asked Slater and Gordon to represent me – another VCAT hearing is planned. If I win I can be her guardian. At yoga my friend Lindy played Schubert’s Serenade by piano roll on my old pianola in key of D. I tried to keep up on Mom’s sweet little Gors and Kallman sitting at right angles to it. After an hour and a half through the Otways in a trailer it was still in tune. No wonder it was so heavy. The music coincided stunningly at times. Wow. The organ lets you choose anything from jazz dixieland to classical and its stool has mum’s lists of hundreds of song titles she played. Unfortunately, there are a few deep scratches on the piano – Jamie would have done better but I kept him out of it – I’m trying to polish them away. I’ve got some evil chemicals to paint on the back in case. Becky has sent beautiful orchids in a basket – I only need to steal mum from the nursing home in Werribee and let her play. Yvonne Francis Apollo Bay

Golf club pricing problems Dear Editor, The Torquay Golf Club was once a very social club but is being destroyed by RACV pricing policy that is turning the clubhouse into a graveyard. As club members we have an expectation of some benefits, but unfortunately the RACV resort pricing policy for merchandise and over the counter sales, e.g., a can of beer $5.50, slab of Vic Bitter cans $66.00, club Logo T Shirts $89.00, has resulted in members taking their business elsewhere and the Club ultimately suffering. The RACV needs to institute club member discounts or pricing to attract the members back to the club. Resort prices should be for resort business. Bruce Groom

Dear Editor, I really like reading Yvonne Francis’ crazy streamof-consciousness ramblings in your ‘Letters to the Editor’ section. I especially like it when she gets two letters in one week! I can only guess that content is not edited before going to print so I look forward to reading this letter in next Wednesday’s edition as well as a couple more pearlers from Yvonne.

Tigers thank sponsors BY ALISON DEANE IT HAS been another great season of local football and by way of wrapping up the season the junior Torquay Tigers thanked naming rights sponsor McDonalds for their five years of support by presenting them with a framed club shirt. The long term partnership has assisted the club in keeping fees affordable and helped buy trophies and footballs for the 400 players involved. “The money they contribute to the club is really important for all the gear, polo shirts, and keeping the fees down, it’s just fantastic,” said Steve Cooper,

president of the junior club. Rising star and Under 14’s captain Jack Bennett of Christian College joined the club in the Under 12’s and has aspirations to play for the seniors. “It’s great McDonalds is sponsoring us and supporting the Torquay Football Club, we really appreciate it,” he said. MacDonald’s owner-operator Stuart Coombes is proud to support junior football and junior sports throughout the area. “It’s great to provide opportunities to young people as well as facilities and general support. It’s been a great season,” said Mr Coombes.

Tim Silverwood is stoked to be spreading the word on plastic to students across the Surf Coast. Pictured here with Charlie Johnson, Murphy Clifford and Georgia Toohey of St Therese Primary.

Silverwood inspires St Therese BY ALISON DEANE

MacDonald’s owner-operator Stuart Coombes accepts a signed jumper from rising star and captain of the Under 14’s Jack Bennett as thanks for MacDonald’s 5 years of support for the club.

SURFER AND environmentalist Tim Silverwood has been enlightening and motivating students across the Surf Coast to the plastic problem in our environment and oceans through his new film Bag It. Around 230 students from St Therese Primary School filled the Quiksilver Foundation auditorium on Friday, and were able to meet the man behind the campaign and view his movie. Gerard McCarthy, sustainability coordinator and Grade 3-4 teacher at St Therese, said the movie was a valuable tool to teach students about the importance of keeping plastic bag usage to a minimum. “The movie ties in with the values of St Therese Primary and the initiatives we have been learning about sustainability through our participation in the Australian Sustainable Schools Project,” said Mr McCarthy. “What we throw away in Torquay can end up in the ocean and may end up affecting animals and

people in other areas and countries.” Mr Silverwood’s beach clean-up initiative, Take 3, draws attention to the huge problem plastic – a non-biodegradable material – has been causing in our oceans and raises awareness as to how communities can make a difference. In partnership with Plastic Bag Free Torquay, the campaign was embraced by students of the Surf Coast. “It’s just logical to run the campaign here,” said Plastic Bag Free Torquay’s Stacie Bobele. “The kids are the future. They’ve loved the movie, and pick it up so quickly. Many then go home and encourage parents to make their household more in tune with environmental issues and lessen their impact.” After the movie, students took part in a question and answer session with Mr Silverwood. “The movie shows us that we need to keep our beaches clean. I was really surprised with the rubbish floating around in the ocean, it’s not very good for the animals,” said Murphy Clifford of Grade 4.

Changing stride BY HAMISH BROOKS

A LOCAL fundraising group is striding to a new venue for their Melbourne Cup event, which raises money for the Cancer Council. Event organiser Trish Curry said the Surf Coast Striders have been running the Melbourne Cup function for five years as part of efforts that have raised over $60,000 for the Cancer Council of Australia. “We started with sixty people at our first event and we’re up to about 100 now,” she said. “In previous years this fun filled event has taken place at the Rose restaurant but due to fire earlier in the year this is no longer possible. “We have secured a new venue at Crowne Plaza in Torquay in the Zeally Ballroom for this year’s event. “They offered us the same deal as the Rose,

and we have to thank Crowne for letting us host it there.” The afternoon runs from 12 pm to 5 pm and costs $40 per head for a two course meal, a complimentary drink upon arrival and three tickets in the major raffle. “When everyone gets there we also take their Melbourne Cup bets and go to the TAB to put them on,” Ms Curry said. “The rest of the races we run as sweeps, with all races shown on big screen TVs.” All the money raised on the day will have been calculated by the weekend of November 5 and 6, when another fundraising event for the cancer council, the Relay for Life (held at the Bob Pettit reserve in Jan Juc), will occur. Bookings can be made by ringing Trish Curry on 52613455 and tables can be made up for 6, 8 or ten persons.

Romy Bartlett with blessed hound, Bonnie.

Bless this pet BY ELEANOR WOODS EVERY spring, pets from the Surf Coast and Bellarine make a pilgrimage to St Wilfrids Anglican Church in Mount Duneed for the annual Blessing of the Animals Day. The blessing is conducted around the globe in remembrance of St Francis of Assisi’s love of all creatures. The event’s organiser, Anne Bartlett, said animals of all shapes, sizes and species were invited to be blessed by Reverend JoAnne Wells on Sunday, October 2. “It will be a load of fun. It is an amazing event ever year. People come from all over the Surf Coast and Bellarine to take part,” Mrs Bartlett said. “Loads of non-churchgoers come along, which is great. It’s just a fun day out with family, friends and pets. Bring a picnic and make a nice day of it.” Prizes and goodie bags are up for grabs and a range of activities can be enjoyed by all. A photographer will be there on the day as well as a veterinarian who will judge the animals on their cuteness and adorability. A sausage sizzle and stalls selling cakes and produce, garden plants and books will also entertain. The Blessing of the Animals is on Sunday October 2 at St Wilfrids Anglican Church, corner of Surfcoast Highway and Lower Duneed Road, from 11am until 3pm.

Industry Info

Realty success in Old Torquay BY ALISON DEANE A CROWD of over sixty people descended on Grandview Road Torquay last weekend for Local Hayden estate agent Steven Menegazzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first official auction. It was a successful day for all involved as the house was only one of four in the area on the day to sell at auction. The property in Old Torquay hit the market at $500,000, was passed in at $515,000 and after negotiations sold for $522,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; proving good market conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ended up being an entry level price for Old Torquay, but we had some bidding there. It went really well, the weather held up for us and the vendor was very pleased,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Menegazzo. With eleven years in real estate in Melbourne,

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Geelong and Torquay, Mr Menegazzo was very happy with the outcome of his first auction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to take a bit of a step forward, I wanted to give it a shot, and it was a very positive result.â&#x20AC;? With a customer service background as a hotel head concierge, Mr Menegazzo loves working in real estate as there is always something different going on every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about building relationships too. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of friends through real estate, whom I often enjoy meeting for golf and get-togethers.â&#x20AC;? Mr Menegazzo is also leading the way by embracing modern media technologies to get new information out there. He puts together a video market report, embedded as a video link in emails to all his clients.

Who will be the best auctioneer in Australasia? Steve Menegazzo at his memorable first auction on Grandview Road Torquay.

Good time to spring into selling MANY PEOPLE believe spring is the best time of the year to sell a property. The pleasant weather makes houses seem more inviting and buyers seem to come out of the woodwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People enjoy driving around and looking at houses in spring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; finding a new house is a pleasant outing rather than an onerous task,â&#x20AC;? says Louise Venter of LJ Hooker Torquay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First impressions are important and may influence a prospective buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to come into your house. Be objective, and take a look at your house from a buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. Aim to make your house inviting - make it bright and cheerful, in keeping with the season.â&#x20AC;?

The following ideas may make your home more appealing to spring buyers: â&#x20AC;˘ Check that your home looks attractive from the street and ensure it looks tidy and clean; â&#x20AC;˘ Put some fresh flowers in a prominent place; â&#x20AC;˘ Open curtains to let natural light into the rooms; â&#x20AC;˘ Clean windows, curtains and walls to make the house look clean and bright; â&#x20AC;˘ Clean out cupboards to make them seem bigger; â&#x20AC;˘ Hide pet toys, litter trays and food bowls; â&#x20AC;˘ Sweep paths and patios, and remove spider webs from the eaves; â&#x20AC;˘ Make any necessary minor repairs; â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure the house is tidy and uncluttered; and

â&#x20AC;˘ Make kitchens and bathrooms sparkling clean. You need to make your garden look its best. Plan ahead and plant some flowers so they will be in bloom when your house goes on the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a house and garden, they want to buy a dream. Make your house look like their dream by ensuring it is neat and tidy and the garden is healthy and cared for,â&#x20AC;? says Ms Venter â&#x20AC;&#x153;A house purchase may be a business transaction, but emotions can win or lose a sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is love at first sight, a potential buyer will bend over backwards to play down any shortcomings.â&#x20AC;?

THE AFL finals are not the only national competition to be staged in Melbourne this September. The NAB Australasian Real Estate Institutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Auctioneering Championship will be held in Melbourne between 19 and 21 September and the REIV has high hopes that a Victorian will win for the first time since 2006. After all, Melbourne is regarded as the auction capital of Australia. The heats and finals are open for the public to attend and will be held at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins. The competition is the most prestigious auctioneering competition in Australia and New Zealand. Competitors represent the most professional, skilled and entertaining auctioneers that each state and New Zealand has to offer. Over two days, they will compete to determine the best auctioneer in Australia and New Zealand. Along with New Zealand, each state nominates the best two auctioneers through local auction competitions. To win, the auctioneer needs to conduct an auction that is both technically perfect and entertaining. The winner last year was Jason Andrew from Queensland. Victoria will be represented by Matthew Young from Buxton in St Kilda and Adrian Butera from Compton and Green. Matthew Young was Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best auctioneer this year and Adrian Butera held the title in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2010. They will be hoping to match the efforts of other Victorian winners: Peter Batrouney in 1995, Peter Hawkins in 1997, Peter Kakos in 2003 and Justin Long in 2005.

Building & Construction

Tuesday 20 September 2011

Six star energy homes THE VICTORIAN Government has introduced a mandatory six star energy rating for all new homes. According to the six star energy booklet found at www.buildingcommission.com.au, six star energy rated homes use 24 per cent less energy for heating and cooling when compared to a five star home. Achieving a six star energy rating is easier than you think, and there are plenty of easy options outlined below. The key to achieving a home with a high energy rating is to consider the block of land and home orientation. It is always recommended to see your builder before buying a block of land, as a good design on a good block can achieve six stars with standard construction.

If the floor plan and the block of land maximise the position of living spaces to make the most of northerly sunlight through appropriate windows, this takes advantage of solar energy which can help achieve up to one star of your rating (www.buildingcommission. com.au). Insulation is important when building a six star home, as insulation can be located in the walls, ceilings and suspended floors. In addition, building materials are also an important consideration, including the colour of the roof. These aspects help the home stay warm in winter, and cool in summer. Up to 40 per cent of your homes heating and cooling can be lost through windows, which play a huge role when achieving a six star rated home.

It is important to consider the size, type and placement of windows, with many glazing options available. Not only is having a six star home good for the environment, but it is also a great way to save money on the rising cost of bills. Other considerations that don’t contribute to a homes energy rating, but can significantly contribute to reducing bills include choosing heating and cooling products that are zoned, meaning you can only heat or cool particular areas of the home. In addition, other products to reduce your carbon footprint include water saving taps, water saving shower heads, water efficient toilets, LED lighting, plus there are plenty of solar energy options available. Hotondo Homes builders are able to achieve an energy rated home that will fit the new government regulations. They have a range of over 90 floor plans to choose from, designed with energy efficiency in mind. Every home is different and requires different things to reach the six star energy rating. Based upon this, each floor plan is flexible, and can be modified to maximise energy efficiency wherever possible. Even with the new six star energy regulations, your local Hotondo Homes builder is able to build you your dream home without compromising on comfort, style and appearance. To find your local builder, contact 1800 677 156 or visit www.hotondo.com.au The house and plan of a six star rated home. Making use of sunlight through north facing windows is enough to gain a property one star.

Jazz flavour added to festival BY HAMISH BROOKS THE QUEENSCLIFF Music Festival has jazzed up its line up with a second round announcement of acts, which includes “über cool jazzster” Sarah McKenzie. The 23-year-old pianist, vocalist and composer has enjoyed a spectacular rise through the Australian jazz scene characterised by frequent appearances at major venues like Bennett’s Lane, The Paris Cat, and at major jazz and blues festivals. She has played gigs in locations as eclectic as her music, the most curious being on a two-week

cruise through the Kimberley aboard True North. “There were 30 passengers and 20 crew on board,” said Ms McKenzie. “Every passenger paid $20,000 dollars for the experience and I had to play for an hour every night, and other than that I got to enjoy the tour and the beautiful gorges we travelled through. “It was pretty amazing up there. It was some of the most inspiring landscapes I’ve ever seen and not being able to use mobile phones or the internet really freshens up the mind.” She wrote a couple of pieces straight after the trip that were inspired by the landscape she travelled through, and said she draws inspiration

from all experience and styles. “I don’t want to put myself in a jazz box. I really like looking at how we can take popular music and add a jazz flavour to it,” she said. “The jazz musicians of the 1950s were all playing the music of the day then and I think lots of current jazz musicians of today are still playing that music. “The real challenge is to keep it fresh.” Ms Mckenzie has performed regularly with her mentor James Morrison, sung backing vocals for Michael Buble and headlined both the Stonnington Jazz and Melbourne International Jazz Festivals.

While she said that playing in little laneway jazz clubs in Melbourne is a great experience for the intimate environment they create, she prefers playing festivals because of their size, atmosphere and the large numbers of musicians that are present. “I’m really looking forward to the Queenscliff Music Festival because it’s exciting to be part of something big. “There are lots of other musicians about to mingle with and I find the atmosphere of festivals really relaxed, so I probably prefer playing at them.” The Queenscliff Musical festival runs from November 25-27. See www.qmf.net.au for more.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Strapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me in! â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around...â&#x20AC;? Just the sort of words that instantly sprang to mind whilst drinking the new GSM offering from Yalumba â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Strapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an exciting new wine theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve released that will certainly cause a buzz once people start trying it, but more of that later. In wine circles, GSM is a reference to a red blend comprising Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre (also known or referred to as Monastrell, or Mataro). It is most commonly seen in the Rhone Valley in France and known as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cotes Du Rhoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blend. In Australia, the blend is synonymous with the Barossa, an authentic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rusticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; style that sits easily with those that love an interesting red with plenty of depth, savoury complexity and plenty of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gluggabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which of course means it slides down easily. Here are some terrific examples from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Barossa worth a look...

2010 Yalumba â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Strapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro ($20) I must say, Yalumba have another hit on their hands here with this new release following on from the outrageous success theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Scribblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wine that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all aware of. The new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Strapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;GSMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blend (Grenache for fragrance, Shiraz for richness and spice, and Mataro for earthiness and rusticity) that dishes up a hearty fleshy young red that retains some really nice savouriness and earthy complexity without going for overtly sweet/ ripe fruitiness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything you want from a red when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for that comforting, mouth filling generosity you can only get from the Barossa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a red exuding hearty-yet-rustic, rich, dark berry fruits, suppleness, savouriness, and earthiness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winner that ticks every box for wine style, packaging and price point. Get on it!

2009 Penfolds Bin 138 Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre ($30) Without a doubt the best release of this wine to date and so more-ish to drink! Even winemaker Peter Gago is more than usually excited about the wine. He rates it as his best yet and his enthusiasm is quite contagious as this wine is brimful of dark black fruit flavours, richness, complexity and incredible vibrancy and stylish suppleness.

Local musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong pulse BY ALISON DEANE THE VOICE of Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine, 94.7 The Pulse, is excited to announce the return of their free summer concert series. Live at the Pulse is on again from this October 7th featuring up-and-coming local bands. Live at the Pulse gigs run from 6pm-8pm every Friday and showcase three different acts in the studio foyer on the corner of Market and Little Ryrie Streets in Geelong. After an immensely successful first season, interest has been growing with word spreading far, Melbourne bands getting involved and sponsors and audiences on the increase. Station manager Gary Dalton said it is a unique opportunity to hear little-known acts who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get airtime on the commercial stations.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community radio plays an important role. We serve local musicians, we give them a break and Live at the Pulse gives them exposure.â&#x20AC;? Live at the Pulse gets across a wide range of music from rock to classical, and sound engineer students mix it down to be broadcast live to air on 94.7, complete with band interviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Audiences can enjoy the gigs for free here at the station, or tune in and relax at home on a Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way for local musicians to get involved is to pop into the station, contact us on 03 5222 5947, or via our website.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the September Pulse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Subscribeathonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is gaining momentum, receiving over 100 new subscriptions last week.

2008 Spinifex Barossa Valley â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Espiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre ($35) Spinifex wines, and winemaker Pete Schell in particular, are the darlings of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Barossa set coming through that are able to capture the essence of Barossa reds without succumbing to the over the top richness, and the big, one dimensional upfront fruity sweet (read boring) reds that predominate the landscape. Their wines speak of genuine regional complexity and savouriness. Yes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still full bodied wines of great stature but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harmonious quality to the wines that also strongly focus on balance, weight, texture and a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sense of placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The 2008 showcases lifted red fruits and spice aromatics on the nose with medium bodied fruit cake richness and savouriness fleshing out the palate...nice. The soon to be released 2009 version is even better I hear, so keep your eyes peeled...

HAVING RECENTLY released her latest EP The Guava Tree, Laura Hill is heading our way for two performances at the upcoming Anglesea Music Festival. She will be performing a number of chilled-out tunes alongside her band The Tuesday Bandits, after having previously toured with the likes of Ash Grunwald, Tim Rogers and James Reyne. Having grown up on the coast in South Australia, Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music reflects the laid back nature of life around the sea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recording The Guava Tree felt to me like a summer vacation. The recording was such an exciting, natural process. We worked together to produce stripped back acoustic tunes to energetic full-band tracks,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. After launching her debut release Over My Shoulder in February 2010, Hill embarked on back-to-back national tours. During this period, Hill produced film clips for the Odd Socks and By My Side singles, which were featured on the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RAGE program.

Spring fair Freshwater Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steiner School annual Spring Fair open day will be held on October 22 between 10am and 3pm. On offer will be pony rides, live music, homemade food, and a biodynamic barbeque. There will also be guest speakers as well as an introduction to Steiner curriculum. The event will take place at 52 McIntyres Road, Freshwater Creek. For more information contact the school on 03 5264 5077.

Laura Hill and The Tuesday Bandits will be performing songs from her latest EP during her two shows at the Anglesea Music Festival.

The constant factor in Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is the coastal sound and she says this is always a key thought when she recording and performing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of all (when recording The Guava Tree), I really wanted to capture the musical flavours needed to make a refreshing summer cocktail.â&#x20AC;? And aside from performing music, what would

Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect summer involve? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you get a combi van with wings?â&#x20AC;? The Anglesea Music Festival is being held from October 14-16.

Inking the shed Loud, hook-laden and hard to ignore, Melbourne’s hottest new rockers are heading to Drydale’s Potato Shed for one night only on 23rd September. Presented by Crash Course Productions, Red Ink come fresh from their national Rock the Schools Tour and will be joined by fantastic local bands including The Rustys, Kyle Taylor, Hannah Stolz, Altitude and The Warning. Gaining new audiences everywhere they play, Red Ink have exploded onto the Melbourne music scene and their latest single What My Friends Say has been enjoying extensive national airtime after appearances at festivals like Peats Ridge, Hot BBQ and Playground Weekender. Fast earning a reputation for raw and provocative anthems, Red Ink are climbing the international rock ladder at lightning speed. According to The AU Review Red Ink’s live show drips power and is rawer than a freshly beached whale, but they’re still lyrically strong and tight on stage.

Big wrap for Lorne THE INAUGURAL Lorne Festival of performing arts has been hailed as a “phenomenal” success by punters, locals, performers and organisers. The festival was an initiative of the Lorne Business and Tourism Association (LBTA) and according to their president, Chris Tully, Lorne was jumping last weekend to the sights and sounds of 50s and 60s Culture by the Sea, the theme for the festival. “The festival exceeded expectations with over 1,000 tickets sold to 16 ticketed events across seven venues around Lorne – a great result for a first year festival,” he said. “The success of the inaugural festival is a testament to the passion and commitment of the locals in our town and sends a strong message about the range and diversity Lorne has to offer.” Festival director Monique Harvey, a highly experienced veteran of the Spiegeltent and numerous international arts festivals, was full of praise for the acts that participated in the inaugural festival. An opening night cabaret, combined with the swinging beats and moves of Mikelangelo and the Tin Star featuring St Clare, The Go Girl Gadget Go Go Dancers and the cheeky burlesque of Lilikoi Kaos, Jessamae St James and Circus Trick Tease, set the tone for a cranking festival by the sea.

Local Lorne act The Beachniks brought their own style and interpretation of beach culture to the inaugural Lorne Performing Arts festival.

Local acts The Beachniks, Kissing Harriet, Victoriana Gaye, Jessie Upton and Ghost Mutt all brought their own style and interpretation of beach culture with them and delighted audiences with their wonderful performances which connected with locals and visitors alike.

Christos Raskatos regaled audiences at the Lorne Fisheries Co-op with evocative poetry and stories of Lorne and his travels around the globe. Oysters were provided to guests upon arrival. To keep in touch with what’s happening all year round in Lorne, sign up at www.lovelorne.com

Self-expression inspired by environment BY HAMISH BROOKS LORNE institution Qdos will exhibit intricate and interesting collaborative sculptures influenced by the avante-garde Japanese Ikebana style of Sogetsu. Ceramicist and Gallery curator Grame Wilkie has been facilitating the exhibition at Qdos since 2004 and said he is blown away by the work that emerges after the collaborative efforts of fellow artist Christopher James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in its eighth year and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proved to be a very

popular exhibition over the years because it makes use of found natural items,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work in ceramics so produce the sculptures and then Chris comes down and sees what he wants to use and incorporates it with other materials found in the environment. Ikebana is the Japanese art of using botanical material as a means of responding to the environment and achieving aesthetic self-expression. Mr James is an ikebana artist/practitioner of the Sogetsu School and holds the Jonin Somu teaching certificate.

He has recently returned from three months study at the Sogetsu Headquarters in Tokyo having been awarded a scholarship by the Norman and Mary Sparnon Endowment Foundation. Mr James has lived on the Surf Coast since his childhood and finds his ikebana is inspired by the natural beauty of the coast and hinterland. Over the past eight years, the exhibitions have involved a number of ikebana artists as well as the team at the Qdos Studio. Because of the natural fit between ikebana and ceramics these exhibitions

have contributed to the artistic development of all the artists involved. Mr James has participated in numerous demonstrations and exhibitions in Melbourne as well as at Qdos Arts Lorne, regional Victoria, Sydney, and Tokyo. He was a member of the team that created Five Elements Water at the National Gallery of Victoria, under the direction of Mr Tetsunori Kawana. The 8th Annual Sogetsu Sculpture Exhibition runs Sunday 25 September - 9 October at Qdos in Lorne, www.qdosarts.com

New hub for artists BY ALISON DEANE

In the Ikebana style of Sogetsu, artists use materials found in the environment to achieve a level of aesthetic self expression.

A NEW ART hub opened last week as part of the Made in Geelong project aiming to contribute to the renewal of the city and situate the area as an outstanding place of arts and culture. The space at 174-176 Ryrie Street is the first of its size, and showcases the talents of nine local artists, whom will be both exhibiting and working. Portarlington artist Jenny Macaulay paints watercolour seascapes and large acrylics at her home studio and said the initiative was a fantastic opportunity for any local or home artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be adding to the art and culture of

Something tasty...

the region. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d certainly suggest it to local artists to get involved.â&#x20AC;? Committee member Renee Work said the project is open to all artists and photographers who have a vision and are keen to propose their project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initiative aims to improve the atmosphere of the city, and by reinvigorating vacant spaces, will also assist landlords. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would love to welcome aboard any artists from Geelong and nearby regions, as well as volunteers, tradespeople and landlordsâ&#x20AC;? said Ms Work. The new Made in Geelong art hub will be open every day of the week. To find out more about the initiative, go to www.madeingeelong.org

Flower paradise is just next door

ReACT film fest THIS WEEK the ReACT Film Festival showcases the skills of students from 15 schools across Geelong at a gala presentation event. Students from all settings wrote, filmed and edited films and will get together to see their work on the Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s big screen at 6pm on Wednesday September 21. ReACT has been touring the Barwon South West region for nine years, and is a major curriculum initiative that focuses on developing student’s filmmaking skills through workshops. “Media is the language of today... and young people are so quick to master new technology,” said ReACT creator Michael Green of Drift Media. “ReACT is a great way for students to get their work onto the big screen, and in front of an audience made up of their peers and local community.”

Wildflower and art show organiser Chris Morrissey gets amongst the spring blooms in the Anglesea Heath.

THE ANGLESEA and Aireys Inlet Society for the Protection of Flora and Fauna will host its annual Wildflower and Art Show this weekend, September 24 and 25, at Memorial Hall in McMillan St, Anglesea. Memorial Hall will be full of varied and colourful blooms, including many orchids, while the art show will display quality works primarily based upon the natural world. Displays of other native plants and flowers are included, as are sales of local plants, arts and crafts and guided wildflower walks and bus tours. Show organiser Chris Morrissey said many Surf Coast residents are not aware that they live next door to one of Australia’s richest sites for plant diversity. “Its (Anglesea Heath’s) reputation amongst plant lovers extends beyond the local area to the international stage with many foreign visitors sometimes surprising locals with

their knowledge. “It (the show) provides a stunning showcase for the natural diversity of our local area – the Anglesea Memorial Hall will be bursting with a dizzying array of varied and colourful blooms, including many orchids.” In past year the show has attracted visitors from all over Australia, primarily because the Anglesea heath lands are of international significance. “There’s something for everyone, whether you’re young or not so young, an avid plant lover or just looking for something different to do on the weekend,” Ms Morrissey said. Entry prices are $5 for adults and $2 for concession card holders, while children under the age of 12 are admitted free of charge. Guided wildflower walks and bus tours are included in the entry fee. The proceeds of the show are used for land conservation purposes. For more information visit www.angair. org.au

Where in the human body is the scaphoid bone located? 7. Which blockbuster musical is based on a memoir titled The Story Of The Trapp Family Singers?

With Venus visiting your career zone, things are looking up at work. If you dress to impress and maximise your people skills you’ll make fabulous headway. Compromise is the key to peaceful professional partnerships, as you offer the olive branch of peace. For some singles, Cupid comes knocking at the office door. Who said work and romance don’t mix?

Rams are feeling restless, but don’t let unpredictable moods and bossy behavior alienate you from others. With Venus and Saturn in your relationship zone, calm cooperation is the clever way to go. Attached Aries - sharing common interests with your partner is highlighted this weekend. Single rams – keep looking for a lover who is responsible and mature.

Are you feeling insecure about a relationship? The more tightly you hold onto someone, the more they’ll try to escape. With gung-ho Mars in your money zone until November 11 aim to be financially proactive. Don’t sit around waiting for cash to magically fall into your lap. The weekend suits socialising at home, as the sun and Venus boost your entertaining skills.

As Saturn moves through your sign until October 2012 it exaggerates your perfectionist streak. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes! As birthday great Sophia Loren said “It’s better to make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” It’s also time to update your appearance but remember that true beauty comes from within.

Be on alert for a case of the ‘green-eyed monsters’ early in the week, as tricky Venus/Pluto aspects aggravate your jealous side. And are there any bad habits you should be giving up? With Saturn still moving through your wellbeing zone, it’s time to be more disciplined about your health and fitness. Out with the cream cakes and in with the carrot juice.

Are you a courageous lion or a cautious cub? With dynamic Mars marching through your sign from September 19 until November 11 it’s time to sparkle and shine as you take on challenges, and your confidence and creativity soar. Be inspired by Christopher Reeve born on September 25 “Either you stay in the shallow end of the pool, or you go out in the ocean.”

Are you ready for a total spring-clean? Scorpios have a tendency to hold onto people, possessions, emotions and old habits. This week provides the perfect opportunity for a physical and emotional detox, as you purge your life of things that have passed their used-by date. On Sunday, use your powerful Pluto energy to influence people in positive ways.

As assertive Mars moves into your love zone, your partner will demand more of your time and attention. Too much togetherness can drive individualistic Aquarians nuts. But too much independence can undermine your relationship too. It’s equinox week, so try to walk the middle path. Singles – don’t be dazzled by appearances. Look for a lover who is also a friend.

With mighty Mars moving into your communication zone, you’re motivated to mix and mingle; chat and circulate even more than usual. Resist the urge to be the neighbourhood nosey-parker though. Garrulous gossip could get gregarious Geminis into gigantic trouble this week so be discreet, choose your words wisely - and don’t jump to hasty conclusions.

Saturn is demanding financial restraint from yours truly. Spending sprees are temporarily banned, as you concentrate on balancing your budget and paying off debt. With a disciplined approach and a pinch of patience you can turn things around. The sun and Mercury are in your sign, so you’re in the mood to research a topic that has always fascinated you.

With Mars charging through your adventure zone until November 11 you’re in the mood to explore as you broaden your physical and mental horizons via travel, study or self-examination. A dream may seem a long way off but hang in there. Saturn is testing your mettle. How badly do you want your dream – and are you willing to work hard to get it?

Are loved ones, friends or work colleagues placing unrealistic demands on you? Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated or cajoled into doing something you really don’t want to do. It’s time for fragile fish to finally face up to bullying behavior. You need to forge your own individual path, as you learn to say the hardest word of all for a Pisces – NO!

CELTIC GLASS

Stoked to be glassy MICHAEL STOKES has been working in the glass trade for over 15 years and in that time has been able to gain valuable experience that enhances what he can offer his clients. Three months ago Stokes decided to start his own business, Celtic Glass, which services the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been working for another company for a few years and thought it was time for a change,â&#x20AC;? Stokes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided to go out on my own and now operate my own business.â&#x20AC;? Celtic Glass offers windows and shower screens but specializes in glass splashbacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Splashbacks are our main focus but shower screens

come a close second,â&#x20AC;? Stokes said. Stokesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reliability and use of top quality materials ensures that his customers are left satisfied and with the knowledge that they got the best possible service. The company operates out of Torquay and Stokes makes the most out of using local knowledge and products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are locally based and run and I try to use all local materials,â&#x20AC;? Stokes said. Stokes offers affordable products with competitive prices set to match those of similar trades. Celtic Glass operates during the week from Monday to Friday. Michael Stokes can be contacted any time between the hours of 8am and 6pm on 0415 550 233.

Couta glory BY LUKE GRIFFITHS QUEENSCLIFF has broken a 36-year premiership drought and secured only its second Bellarine Football League premiership after it defeated Geelong Amateurs by 39 points on Saturday. In what was Queenscliff’s coach Heath Jamieson’s final match at the helm, there was understandable jubilation from both players and supporters on Spring Creek Reserve after the final siren. “These things (premierships) don’t come around very often and to be able to finish my time as Queenscliff coach with a premiership is unbelievable. Obviously this is the perfect way to go out,” Jamieson said. “We had worked really hard to get into the grand final and there was massive hype before the game, so to be able to handle that pressure and win the flag is a massive effort by the boys. Saturday was just reward for months and months of hard work.” Things didn’t look good for the Coutas during the first quarter, with Amateurs having the majority of the play and a 20 point lead at the first break. But Jamieson rallied his troops and they duly responded to kick five goals to one in the second term. Queenscliff again dominated the third quarter, kicking four goals to one. Amateurs kicked six goals in a high scoring last quarter but failed to make much of a dent in the lead with the Coutas kicking five themselves. It was the lack of consistency across the match that ultimately cost Amateurs the match – they kicked 12 of their 13 goals

in two quarters. The loss was Amateurs’ third consecutive grand final defeat. Ash Medallist Dylan Chaplin-Burch kicked six for the victors, which included his 100th goal for the season, while Couta midfielder Daniel Gibbs was awarded best on ground. Travis Robertson was the Amateurs best player and league best and fairest runnerup Jason Tom kicked four goals. Queenscliff was abuzz Saturday night with the clubrooms filled with more than 1,000 supporters and it appears the celebrations won’t be finishing any time soon. “The celebrations have been big and they’ll continue to be big. I think we’ve got something organised for every day this week, so there’ll be a few sore heads by the end of the week.” Queenscliff won the Corio Bay Health Group Under 18 B Grade premiership on Saturday, defeating St Mary’s second side by 56 points. The Coutas led at 20 points at quarter time and were never threatened during the match.

Surf Coast FC blitzes junior soccer finals SURF Coast FC had its finest day in a decade of junior competition last weekend. With six grand finals played on Saturday, Surf Coast made it into five of them and won four – the under 12 boys, both the under 13 boys and girls and the under 18 girls. The cream on the cake was seeing three Surf Coast FC players win their age group Association fairest and best awards – Minnie Feakes (U18s Girls), Jordie Gibson (U13s Boys) and Erindi Mankolli (U12s Boys). A number of Surf Coast players also won their age group Association Golden Boot awards. Several magic moments went into Surf Coast Football Club legend during the finals series, including young gun Amy Suessmeier’s late winning goal for the Under 13s girls, Jordy Gibson’s stunning strike levelling the match on the final siren, and Bec McGlinchey’s missile goal for the Under 18s girls that seared into the back of the net before the keeper had time to blink. With the Surf Coast FC men consolidating their position in the Victorian Provisional 1 League, and making finals in the local competition, it has been a year to savour by the Coast.

“it’s never over until the last whistle blows”. Corio Bay players are to be commended on their tenacity for attacking the ball and their ability; they scored the first goal and kept a number of Surf Coast players battling for the ball. Just when Corio Bay looked assured of taking out the match in the last remaining minutes, Jordon Gibson stepped up to the mark and booted a superb goal from nearly mid-field which equalised the score. With scores level at full-time, a penalty shoot out followed, with Surf Coast coming out the winners.

U13 Boys Division 1: Surf Coast 2 – 1 Corio Bay (penalty shoot-out) In a game fitting for a grand final, the Surf Coast boys played out the phrases “never give up” and

U12 Boys: Surf Coast 1 – 0 Surf Coast Yellow In what was a tight grand final the Surf Coast Blues prevailed with a 1-0 win. The goal came in the first half by a bit of

U13 Girls: Surf Coast Blue 1 – 0 Surfside Both teams fought hard for the ball and those elusive goals, but Surf Coast were victorious in the end 1-0. Amy Suessmeir kicked the winning goal just in the knick of time. Great team work from all the girls and strong leadership from the Captain Coby McInerney. Well defended and terrific attacking from all the girls. We all really enjoyed the season and well done on winning the U13 Girls Soccer Grand Final.

James Shanhun and Brodric Von Brandestein congratulate Jordon Gibson (middle) for winning U13 Best and Fairest Season 2011 and Best On Field U13 Finals.

fantastic team play with a number of passes and a clean finish by the league golden boot winner, Kalen Webb. Congratulations to Erindi Mankolli who was voted best on ground and also won the Best and fairest for the U12 division 2 boys.

Another great weekend for the Waves THE U13 Girls and U15 Boys played in their respective grand finals, and the Senior Men and Women played in cut throat semi-finals at Shell Road Reserve. For a small, relatively young club this has been an exceptional season. Unfortunately the U13 Girls were unable to bring the trophy back to Ocean Grove but the U15 Boys were triumphant with a strong 4-0 victory over Lara. The Division 2 Men’s semi was a lot tighter with the teams locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes. Extra time saw the Waves take the lead, only for Surf Coast to equalise in the last 30 seconds of the match. It was 2-2 after extra time so went into a penalty shootout. The Waves maintained their composure scoring five penalties with Surf Coast missing one to give the Waves the grand final berth. Grand finals for the Men and Women are held next weekend.

been the class team of the competition all season. Some great finishing in front of goal and strong defence secured the premiership to add to the league title. Goal scorers were Jacob Nicholson with three and Ben Zebic with one. The Waves also took out other honours with Ben Zebic awarded the league best & fairest and Isaiah Mujica best in the grand final. U13 Girls: Surfside 0 - 1 Surf Coast Blue Despite having the better chances, the Waves went down in a tense encounter at Hume Reserve. Attacking strongly in the second half, the Waves couldn’t score against a packed defence. Surf Coast really only had the one chance to score, but it was enough to decide the match. The Waves have had an outstanding season winning the League Championship by 8 points.

Waves U13 Girls all smiles despite a grand final loss following a fantastic season.

Caitlin Picket was awarded League Best & Fairest and Isabel Greer player of the match in the grand final. The junior season has now concluded as we move into next week’s senior grand finals.

Senior Men: Surfside 3 - 2 Surf Coast (penalty shoot-out) The Waves held their nerve to win 5-4 in the penalty shootout to move into next week’s grand final. Goals scorers were Nic Hargraves (pen) and Steffan Hargraves. Senior Women: Surfside 6 - 2 Barwon The Waves proved that they were a class unit with a fantastic performance under immense pressure in the race for the title. The Waves attacking strike power proving too much for a spirited Barwon team. Good luck in the grand final girls. U15 Boys: Surfside 4 – 0 Lara Another great performance by the boys who have

The triumphant U15 Team celebrate their grand final victory.

Waves set for grand final Surfside 6 - 2 Barwon In what was a repeat of last year’s semi final, the senior women moved into the grand final with a convincing 6-2 win over a spirited Barwon. Surfside came out of the blocks quickly with Molly Strano scoring well and then Maddy Bennett putting the Waves two up. Lara Williams slotted in a third to take in a three nil lead at half time. Surfside came out into the second half full of purpose and quickly took control of the game, with some neat one touch football, driven forward by their skipper Emma Moran, quickly grabbing two more goals through Chelsea Taylor and Cassie Hynes. Barwon pulled two goals back with an inspired free kick from Anne Siri Salte and another from fellow midfielder Marnie Harrington. The Waves were dominant and finished the game off the way it had started with goals from Bennett and Williams to make it a convincing win for the Waves. A great final game for Kiwi Nicole Wakefield as she departs Australia to return home to New Zealand before next week’s final. It will be just the second grand final appearance for Surfside Women. Geelong 1 - 0 Breakwater Eagles A buzz was lingering throughout both teams as they dealt with blustery conditions at Stead Park for the second Women’s semi-final. Defensively, Breakwater were very hard for Geelong to break down but through some good ball movement Geelong created many chances, albeit without converting them. This week saw a real team effort. The only goal was scored by Milly Livesay, a fine effort on her behalf since she was tagged by no less than two players at any one time. Geelong now look forward to their second grand final in consecutive years and will be aiming to make up for last season’s Grand Final disappointment. The Surfside-Geelong Women’s Grand Final will be at Hume Reserve, Saturday 24 September at 3pm.

The NTPs were won by Byron Landeryou, Ron Robertson, Noel Phyland and Peter Hehir. Pat Comack and Nick Ivens had an eagle. The Jackpot on the 8th was won by ‘Rotten’ Ron Haeberle. Ron was heard bragging about his ball going well past the hole before spinning back 6 foot to claim the prize… there’s a lot of spin in that story! Weekend results Saturday turned on the best day of the week and the scoring showed just how good the day was. Whilst the hot soup did not go out, our beverage-cart girl Annaliese was busy refreshing golfers with cold drinks. A Grade was taken out by David Stephens with +8, B was won by Ken Ballard with +7 showing all of his playing partners how to win again. C Grade was won by morning player

Danny Guiney with +7 who for a change was saying the afternoon players had the best of conditions. Just to show everyone up D Grade winner was Ian Colwell with +11. The NTPs were won by Ken Scott, Greg Giampiccolo, Paul French and the Jackpot was scored by Michael Nemeth. Yet again there were another three Eagles from Henry Kelly, Bruce Ditchburn and Angelo Facchini.

NTPs went to Lyn Brady, Deb Shoesmith & Jenni Cottrill. On Sunday, Wayne Nitschke had a fantastic score of 49 points and Bernadette Oliver won with 42pts. Golf shop Brad Lamb will be leaving us this week to focus on his coaching, don’t worry, you can still book a lesson with him at the club. Member, Dave Kilmartin joins the team, we are excited!

A week of good weather and good golf, maybe, just maybe the sun is returning to Portarlington. On Tuesday the men enjoyed the first of the good days with a Stableford round. Dereck Wright certainly enjoyed the welcome warmth with his 43 points. Other grade winners were, A Grade, Simon Grundell 41 points, Jim Fisher claimed B Grade with 42 and in C Grade Bruce Whalley, 39. NTPs went to Matt Salter, Clifford Dean and Bill Archer. On Wednesday, the ladies played the fun but deadly Stableford Multiplier that can make or break friendships! Staying friends probably for life will be Helen Barry and Marian Keskinen who scored the most incredible round of 101, yes you read right, 101 points. They blew away the field winning by 15 from Barbie Schwarz and Judy Kiely who had a very decent score of 86. Third place went to Jill Barker and Angela Foott still scoring well, 81. NTP’s went to Kath Wright and Marian Keskinen while the money holes went to Judy Kiely and Angela Foott. On Thursday, another great day for golf had the

bumper field playing Stableford. Jack Taylor topped the list with 43, while a major battle ensued with 3 more on 41. Peter Taylor was victorious on count-back from Peter Ward and Henry Wasiak. Arthur Dimble made the day worthwhile collecting 15 balls from the Eagles nest for his 2 great shots on the Par 4, 8th. Eleven-hole players also scored well with Dick Trezise winning with 44 after adjustment. On to members Saturday with a great field playing a Stroke round. The scores indicated just how nice it is playing in perfect conditions. Andrew Nyga played a smashing round to return 64 nett, claiming trophy of the day and D grade, well done Andrew. A grade winner was Terry Powell, 71, B Frank Carter, also playing a terrific round, 64 nett, and C Grade Shane O’Reilly 67. NTP’s were Ian Gillett, Neville McPherson and Rod Elms while Lynton Barmby pocketed the Pro Pin. There was to be a playoff from last month’s medal which was tied by Keith Giles and Josh Kent. Well,

they did it again, same score for the second time, so back to the drawing board and the next stroke round we will go through it all again. Good luck boys. Sunday, another great day at Port had the members playing Stableford. Port/Barwon Valley member Joy Francis enjoyed her day topping the pops with 37, runner-up was playing partner Jenny McKeon with 36.

Modewarre easily wins reserves flag BY LUKE GRIFFITHS MODEWARRE EASILY accounted for Torquay on Saturday to win the Buckley’s Reserve Cup. The Tigers controlled the first 10 minutes of the match but failed to translate that possession into scoreboard pressure, and although they were never really in the game, Torquay’s inaccuracy – five goals from 16 scoring shots – didn’t help its cause. The signs looked ominous for Torquay at half-time, despite trailing by only 17 points, only managing one goal for the half. Tigers coach Luke Cormack urged his players to take chances and play the style of game that got them into the grand final, however the second half was completely dominated by Modewarre,

who ran and carried the ball better than their opponent and made the most of chances when they managed to spot up players within the forward 50. Cormack said inaccuracy in front of goal – especially in the first half – hurt his team badly, but in the end Modewarre were just too good. “Kicking one goal seven (behinds) up until half-time didn’t help – if we had of been able to turn that around we might have been in with a bit of a chance. “In the end we were simply beaten by a better side on the day. They were much better than us in all areas of the game, simple as that.” Braeden Tournier kicked two goals and was Modewarre’s best player, with Grant Walker (four goals) and Daniel McCaskill other standout players for the victors, while for

Torquay Jonathan Hobbs was by far his team’s best player. “Hobbs was outstanding all day off the (half) back-flank. He kicked two goals as well, and was played a very, very good game in a losing side,” Cormack said.

Torquay’s James Donaldson just manages to hold onto his Modewarre opponent. Modewarre defeated Torquay by 55 points to win the BFL reserves premiership.

Ammos take U18 glory from Tigers BY LUKE GRIFFITHS GEELONG AMATEURS defeated Torquay by 23 points on Saturday to win the Community Bank Bellarine Football League under 18 grand final. A six-goal-to-two first quarter set up the victory and despite a surge from Torquay early in the last quarter, Amateurs never looked like getting beaten. Torquay outscored Amateurs in the second half and despite having more scoring shots for the match – 21 to 19 – they failed to capitalise on their opportunities in front of goal. Torquay coach Greg Mervin said that despite the loss he was pleased with his team’s ability to fight back after a sluggish start. “We didn’t start the game well, but I was really

proud of the boys’ effort to fight their way back into the game. “Our kicking in front of goal really hurt us. We didn’t make the most of the chances that we created and to be honest we missed some absolute sitters.” Strong marking Amateur Mason Wood won the medal for the best player on the ground, ably supported George Chisholm, who kicked four goals, Blake Nielsen and Scott Dixon. For the Tigers Dylan Ludbrook, Alexander Denton and Adam Gross were the better players. “Ammos are a very, very good side. They were very impressive today and the fact that they were able to make the most of their opportunities in front of goal won them the match,” said Mervin After finishing the home and away season fourth

MATCH DETAILS

Success for netballers TORQUAY NETBALL Club’s junior section has capped off a remarkable season by making five grand finals, winning four of them. The under 17 section two, under 15 section one and two, and under 13 section five teams all tasted premiership success, while the under 13 section four team lost narrowly to Ocean Grove. Torquay Netball Club President Julie Lewis said the season had been a stunning success and that all the netballers should be proud of what they have achieved. “We really couldn’t have asked for a better season – we only had two teams that didn’t make the finals. They’re really a great bunch of girls and we’re very proud of them. “All of the players, coaches and volunteers have been fantastic all year. The club works very hard to get the girls onto the court and they’ve certainly repaid us!” In other good news for the club Ellie Bews won the under 13 section one league best and fairest, while Tilly Thompson won the same award in the under 13 section two division.

FROM THE

TIDE TIMES

TODAY I want to discuss an issue that isn’t at the forefront of many people’s thoughts but will have some meaning for some of us. I remember going with my Dad and Sis down to the local creek, with bucket in hand and a number of sticks, all with at least 4-5 foot length of string attached. In our bucket we would also have some rabbit or meat off-cuts my Nan had given us. I remember Nan yelling out watch out for the Joe Blakes as we headed down to the creek. The sun would be shining, and we’d always be swatting at the blowies but we were kids. We were excited, because we were going yabbying! Now many people don’t give much thought to yabbying and take for granted that if we go down to the local creek or dam they may catch a feed. However, that seems to be becoming increasingly infrequent of late. This is a result of a number of issues that we need to address. In Victoria, our fisheries regulations state clearly that the allowable daily take of whole yabbies (Cherax spp) was increased from 20 litres to 30 litres of whole yabbies or five litres of yabby tails with no size limits applicable. Victoria’s fisheries regulations were reviewed and approved in March 2009, under the then Labor Government, and there was no requirement to return berried female yabbies (with eggs) to their environment. Measuring yabbies by volume can, however, have a impact on our yabby numbers. In August 2007 Fisheries declared that “the daily bag and possession limit of 100 Bass yabbies per person will be sufficient for the legitimate personal needs of recreational fishers”. Also, “taking yabbies

at a commercial rate will deplete their numbers and have broader ecosystem impacts”. Bass yabbies are salt water yabbies not freshwater yabbies – there is the rub – but why the difference? Twenty years or so ago you could catch yabbies up to 275 grams from the wild. Now the biggest in local waters on average only weigh 35 grams and are less than 150mm total length. An average bait sized yabby with a length of 5 to 6 cm tail tip to eyes weighing 4.4 grams occupying a volume of 0.8 litres is the equivalent to 125 yabbies per litre. Which equates out to 3,750 bait-size yabbies per 30 litre allowance. In NSW, the limit bag and possession limit for yabbies is no size limits but 200 per person. In SA, it’s the same. We do seem to be out of step with our two neighbours. Do we as recreational fisherman need to take that many? With no requirement to return berried female yabbies (carrying eggs) you can see the significant impact this could have on the species. So it is up to us as fishermen and women to make the right decision. I just hope that most of us decide we want to keep yabbying and do just that, by at least returning female yabbies back to the water especially if they are bearing eggs.
