ROD LAID LOW Indented Head boat shed falls victim to third vandalism attack

BY REBECCA LAUNER

IN THE same week we saw Mother Nature batter our coastline, Bellarine Bayside was contending with more damage to one of its Indented Head boat sheds. The coastal management group’s chief executive Kevin Craig said works were almost complete on the newly refurbished boat shed rented by Beachlea Boat Hire owner Rodney Ludlow when vandals struck again. Mr Craig said he wanted to send a message to those responsible that last week’s senseless act of vandalism was not

just harmful to Mr Ludlow, but also to the entire community. “Bellarine Bayside’s limited funds are having to be spent on repairing unnecessary damage when they could be put towards other costal management initiatives, such as improving walking paths and repairing our foreshores,” Mr Craig said. “Instead, we have had to pick up the whole cost of boatshed eight’s asbestos removal, demolition and restoration work estimated at more than $50,000.” He said the latest incident saw vandals bash in the shed’s walls with a hammer or

something solid, causing another $1,000 worth of damage. He called the act “malicious vandalism” and said it’s an unnecessary, unhealthy activity and of real concern to the local community. “We just want to see the boatshed restored so that the community can again focus on improving the amenity of the area.” Last week’s incident was the third time Beachlea Boat Hire had fallen victim to vandals since April. In early May, a youth allegedly damaged boats, the roof and padlocks

before leaving asbestos fragments spread across the esplanade. This came two weeks after a group of balaclava-clad teenagers allegedly tried to set fire to the site. The attacks have forced Mr Ludlow out of work since early May. The Indented Head community united last month to help raise $19,000 for the business owner. More than 200 people attended the fundraising event to show their support for Mr Ludlow and help him with the cost of living while the boatshed was being rebuilt.

The tide approaches the shed which houses Beachlea Boat Hire during last week’s wild weather.

THIS week I would like to draw attention to a process of council that does not always get the attention it deserves – the careful planning that goes into the growth patterns of the many townships within our municipal boundary. A good example is the very popular and growing Bellarine Peninsula township of Ocean Grove. At last week’s council meeting, we adopted the Ocean Grove Town Centre Urban Design Framework (UDF) and we will now seek authorisation from the Minister for Planning to prepare an amendment leading to the inclusion of the UDF as part of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. The development of the UDF has been heavily influenced by input from residents, businesses, community associations, sporting clubs, schools and government agencies, initially through an Enquiry by Design workshop held in May 2013. The workshop was attended by 90 delegates, and was aimed at airing the community’s hopes and dreams (and practical ideas) for the Ocean Grove Town Centre. It turned out to be a terrific consultation process. A concept master plan was developed and this led to the development of the draft UDF. Among the guiding principles for the UDF is one to activate the perimeter block of the Ocean Grove town centre with a vibrant range of shops and eating areas. Another of the primary aims is to reinforce the town centre precinct as the primary retail centre for Ocean Grove in the face of new competition at Shell Road and Grubb Road. The UDF also aims at creating new meeting places and public spaces and prioritises pedestrian and cyclist safety while also improving safety for motorists.

Ocean Grove is one of our municipality’s great beachside areas, and the UDF builds on this asset, providing for better connections from the town centre to the beach and Ocean Grove Park. New developments in the coming years will have to ensure that the inevitable growth car parking demand is met. Ocean Grove’s town centre has three distinct precincts: The Terrace, The Avenue and Hodgson Street. For each of these precincts the UDF seeks to provide guidance on future growth and development, built form outcomes, streetscapes, traffic and pedestrian movements, car parking and land use. The UDF envisages the development of a town square in The Terrace, signalisation of the intersection of Orton Street and Presidents Avenue and the upgrading of streetscapes in Presidents Avenue, Hodgson Street and The Avenue. An important change to come will be the ‘squaring up’ of the intersection of Hodgson Street and The Parade. To complete the exhaustive public consultation process, the draft UDF was placed on public exhibition for an eight-week period in February and March this year, with a community information session attended by 70 people. A total of 104 submissions were received and these have all been carefully considered by the council, with a number of important modifications subsequently being made to the original draft. Avalon Airport: use it or we lose it Meanwhile, there’s an important campaign that I would like to draw to the attention of everyone on the Bellarine. I have launched a campaign calling on locals, wherever possible, to support Avalon Airport. A billboard with the message “Avalon. Don’t

let this one depart” has gone up on the Princes Highway at Hovells Creek and I’ve sent an email to local businesses urging all those who fly to Sydney to choose Jetstar at Avalon. Having our own airport is a major drawcard for our region on many levels: tourism, business, lifestyle. If we want to keep Avalon here, we need to give it some love! At the moment Jetstar offers five flights to Sydney a day. I urge anyone planning a trip to Sydney or who has a stopover in Sydney to support our local airport. It’s a short drive and parking’s a breeze. Ideally we’d like to see more flights to more locations, but in order to attract more services we need to show the demand is there. We’re all in this together so we need to support our local industry to create and retain jobs, attract new businesses and prosper overall. To find out what else I’m up to, follow me: Twitter: @Geelong_Mayor Facebook.com/GeelongMayor Darryn Lyons City of Greater Geelong Mayor

The billboard encouraging more use of Avalon Airport is now standing near Hovells Creek.

Kym’s set for a cool new adventure BY REBECCA LAUNER

QUEENSCLIFF’S Kym Engler will take part in the world’s first Indigenous leadership expedition on ice in Antarctica. Mr Engler was handpicked to become a travelling mentor in the project, Outback to Icecap. Eight Indigenous youths aged between 18 and 20 selected from not-for-profit organisation Yalari will take on the challenge of climbing an Antarctic mountain peak as well as ice climbing, snowshoeing

and camping overnight on the ice. Mr Engler, who has a distinguished 18-year career in the Australian Army in his capacity as a major, was one of the first of 39 travelling mentors to be selected by expedition leader Peter Bland. Mr Bland is a polar explorer and is the first Australian to walk to the North and South magnetic poles. “I’ve known Peter for a while now and in early 2013 when he told me about his vision in creating a mentoring program for Indigenous youth, I jumped

at the opportunity to be involved,” Mr Engler said. His new career is coaching and mentoring people to expand their personal leadership abilities, with a focus on boys and young men. “I firmly believe for anyone to become a better leader in any situation is that you first must know yourself, and this can only be achieved through being exposed to emotionally challenging situations,” Mr Engler said. “Once you’ve survived the ordeal, whether it be public speaking, ice climbing, abseiling or being in

a war zone, you will feel a sense of achievement and a knowing that you can handle the next challenge. “Life is one big lesson; if you aren’t learning or growing as a person, you’re dying.” The adventurers depart on their 16-day expedition via Argentina on December 15. Applications for leadership positions can be made through leadershipgroup.com.au. A portion of each enrolment cost is being set aside as a contribution towards the ongoing program for Indigenous youth education.

Neville steps up fight following meeting request snub BELLARINE MP Lisa Neville will step-up a fight against the downgrading of police services on the Bellarine after a senior officer refused to meet with her. Ms Neville is organising meetings with organisations and key associations to discuss the next stage of a community campaign, following Senior Sergeant Tony Francis’ refusal to meet with Cr Linsday Ellis and herself during his visit to Portarlington police station on Monday. Snr Sgt Francis spoke with local police to discuss the town’s transition from operational to counter service two days a week, which will take effect from the start of August. Ms Neville said the change would mean more junior staff would staff the police station’s counter and would only be available to help with minor enquiries, such as signing statutory declarations. She said residents who needed urgent assistance would have to call triple zero or the Ocean Grove police station. “Lindsay and I were here because we wanted to

chat to Senior Sergeant Francis because he is responsible for the implementation of these changes and will explain to the officers what is going to happen and how it affects them,” she said. “We were seeking to try to talk to him and ask for it to be held up. “But as he has said no we have decided to coordinate a meeting over the next week with community organisations and key associations across the Bellarine to discuss the next stage.” Ms Neville said Queenscliff’s police station had already transitioned from operational to counter service and Drysdale was also expected to change from August. She said the community was very concerned about the issue and a petition fighting the changes now had more than 4,000 signatures. Ms Neville and Cr Ellis are holding a public meeting next week to discuss the steps that need to be taken to keep the Portarlington police station operational. It will be held at 1pm, Tuesday July 8 at Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, 17-21 High Street, Drysdale.

THE tattoos which cover most of Kylie De Costaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body symbolise a diary of her life. The Ocean Grove woman, whose body is 90 per cent covered with permanent art work, said all of her tattoos represented a different stage in her life which had personal meaning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only places I am not tattooed are my arms, hands, chest and neck,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no plans to ever have those places tattooed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as I love how they look on others, I think that sets me apart from the crowd.â&#x20AC;? The 36 year old, who moved to Australia from Canada in 2010, said she often joked that she was the least tattooed tattoo model because if she put on a shirt and jeans no one would be able to tell she had any. The recent winner of Miss Ink Melbourne, Ms De Costa recalled getting her first tattoo at just 18 years of age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little tribal piece on my ankle,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I designed it myself and waited months to make sure it was what I really wanted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also researched artists and shops to find one I trusted and once I did that artist did my first three tattoos, all of which I had designed.â&#x20AC;? Ms De Costa said in total six different artists had tattooed her body, including locals Tidal Tattoo Torquay and Shinto. Ms De Costa has re-entered the world of modelling and said she had had great success with it so far, appearing in numerous publications here and overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will also have the chance to compete in the Miss Ink Australia finals in November,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ms De Costa said the Miss Ink competition was a way for women to be proud of who they were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don't ever be something you are not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My tattoos always get attention, sometimes more than others and sometimes it bothers me and others

ADVERTORIAL

IN BRIEF Big clean-up after winds and rain hit Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale

Borough finalises its balanced budget for the 2014/15 financial year

STRONG wind gusts and heavy rain blanketed the Borough of Queenscliff last week, leaving the council with a challenging task of assessing storm damage. Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale experienced loss of power for the most part of Tuesday, forcing many businesses to close until power was restored late in the evening. The council moved quickly to deal with immediate safety concerns by ensuring paths for pedestrians and vehicles were cleared of fallen debris and tree limbs. Borough of Queenscliffe mayor Helene Cameron was quick to thank the community for its patience and acknowledged the clean-up across the Geelong region’s coastal communities was a significant task. “Council is taking all necessary actions to make areas safe as quickly as possible and I would like to thank everyone for their understanding during this challenging time.” Contractors commenced prioritising the areas requiring clean-up and progressed as quickly as the calmer weather allowed. The full clean-up was anticipated to be completed this week.

THE Borough of Queenscliffe has unanimously endorsed its 2014/15 budget. The budget aims to meet the current needs and aspirations of the borough community and invests in vital council services and programs. The general rates increase for the 2014/15 year is 4.5 per cent, raising total rate revenue of $6.149 million. Borough of Queenscliffe mayor Helene Cameron confirmed that the council had looked for savings and operational efficiencies throughout the budget preparation process in a concerted effort to contain costs. “The council has tried to balance the demand for improved services and facilities, renewal, upgrade and maintenance of infrastructure and continued management of the borough’s natural environment,” she said. “The budget provides for some major capital works, necessary asset renewal, improvements in local services and new tourism opportunities that will boost the local economy.” To read or download the full 2014/15 budget document, head to queenscliffe.vic.gov.au.

Boomerangs and bush Glass venture a trail huts all in a day at kinder toof create supporters LEARNING how to throw a boomerang was the highlight for Leopold kinder kids during a recent trip to Narana Aboriginal Cultural centre. The visit, which also included seeing a bush hut and tasting different plants, was a result of the children’s interest in Aboriginal culture and life. Educator Kerry Carter said in the lead up to the trip the kids had been learning about Aboriginal life in the bush and bush art through books, stories and a visit from local Aboriginal Elder Uncle David Tournier earlier in the year. “They enjoy using clapping sticks for music and collecting sticks leaves and bark for art activities,” Mrs Carter said. “Learning about Aboriginal culture and gaining an understanding and respect for Indigenous people as the original owners of the land we live on is an important ongoing focus in our early childhood program.”

Aiden and Cooper were all smiles when learning to throw the boomerang.

A UNIQUE venture will link 12 glass artists, craftspeople and businesses in the Geelong area in a ‘trail’ for locals and visitors to follow. Executive director of Tourism Geelong and Bellarine Roger Grant will tomorrow launch The Glass Trail, which people can follow to see a variety of glass goods, including jewellery, sculpture and household items, most of them hand-made locally. They can also learn something about how these items are made and may see demonstrations of glass workers’ various intricate techniques. Followers of The Glass Trail will also be introduced to the annual Festival of Glass, including its competition for the Drysdale Glass Art Awards. The Glass Trail has been created by the Festival of Glass, to further its aim of promoting the Geelong area as a centre of glass activity, and is completely self-funded by its 12 participants; the festival has co-ordinated the creation of The Glass Trail brochure and will promote and publicise it. The Festival of Glass – now in its fifth year – is an initiative of the Drysdale & Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA). The City of Greater Geelong and the Bendigo Bank are major sponsors of the Festival of Glass. DCSCA and its Festival committee are grateful for their support. The launch is on tomorrow at Totally Shattered Glass Studio, 1480 Queenscliff/Portarlington Road, Point Lonsdale, between 6pm and 7pm.

Bogus boat highlights water safety message Cole to stomp ON A recent windy Sunday afternoon, Coast Guard Queenscliff received a task to search for a possible dinghy floating off Indented Head. The call came from recreational fisherman Dave, who saw something about in the water about two kilometres offshore. Skipper Gary, crewman Ric and new member Andrew headed out and phoned Dave for more information. Dave, remained on the shore, keeping the “vessel” in sight and though Coast Guard couldn’t see it, Dave told them to come to a stop. “Turn right 90 degrees and it should be about 1km dead ahead of you,” he said. After a few minutes they spotted something that looked like a partially submerged, white dinghy in the water and slowed down to approach.

Their target was almost alongside when they recognised it as a piece of builder’s insulation, the thin white strip resembling a partly submerged boat. A Coast Guard spokesman said despite Dave’s apologies for the goose chase, they commend him for a great job in reporting and then keeping the target under observation. “Had this been a dinghy with someone injured aboard Dave’s actions may well have saved a life. “We retrieved the insulation for disposal standing ashore and returned to Queenscliff. “A simple job done quickly and efficiently, so thanks to Dave from Indented Head for your good work.” They said this is an excellent reminder to always keep a good Coast Guard Queenscliff’s Andrew Osler and Gary Tomlins with sections of the lost “vessel”. lookout when on or near the water.

State award for inventive student

Bellarine Secondary College student Kayla Denham with her award, and proud VCAL teacher Cheryl Linford and principal Alison Murphy.

AN ENTERPRISING Bellarine Secondary College student has been recognised at a state level for her initiative. Year 12 student Kayla Denham was awarded the 2013 VCAL Achievement Award in the category of Student-Intermediate Personal Development Skills at a ceremony in Melbourne in June. The award comes after Kayla took on a project to have fans installed in heat-affected

classrooms last year. VCAL teacher Cheryl Linford said Kayla’s dedication to the project has already resulted in two new fans for the rooms most in need of ventilation. “Kayla decided to get some quotes on the installation of fans and was surprised to learn a budget exceeding $10,000 would be needed. “She knew this sort of money was going to take more than a couple of sausage sizzles so she then decided to canvas the support

of government representatives. “She wrote letters to local and state government members as well as our Prime Minister and received correspondence back from them all!” Kayla contacted Federal Member for Corio Richard Marles, who then visited to the school for a tour to see what the concerns were. Kayla is working on having fans installed in 10 more classrooms, before she leaves school at the end of 2015.

stairs at the G

BY TIFFANY PILCHER

BARWON Heads fitness fanatic Jeff Cole is taking on the mammoth challenge of running every step on the MCG’s level one and two seating bowls this weekend. Stadium Stomp is Australia’s longest consecutive stair climb challenge and although it’s a unique fitness challenge, it’s not a competition or a race, but a personal test of stamina and concentration. The full course is approximately 7,343 steps and is expected to take anywhere from 45 minutes to more than two hours to complete, depending on fitness levels and Mr Cole is hoping to complete the full course between 1-1.5 hours. Having completed the Eureka Climb in the stairwells of Eureka Tower several times before, he said he is feeling confident about the challenge ahead. “The Eureka Climb can be pretty tough and it can get a bit claustrophobic, but this will be in the wide open and I’m really looking forward to something different. “I’ve been running stairs at 13th Beach and training in the emergency stairwell at work too, I also like to cycle and surf around Barwon Heads. “For some reason I just like stairs, so I thought why not give it a shot?” Stadium Stomp will be held at the MCG on Sunday July 6. Participants can choose to raise money for a charity, Mr Cole has raised $100 for the Leukaemia Foundation so far. For more information, or to sponsor a participant, visit stadiumstomp.com.au.

Geelong takes the stage on Q&A BY JAMES TAYLOR MANUFACTURING jobs, floating Christmas trees and asylum seekers were on the agenda at a lively Geelong-centred episode of Q&A on Monday night. A capacity crowd of more than 700 people attended the filming of the usually Sydney-based ABC political talk show at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre. The five panelists – Liberal MP Sarah Henderson, Labor MP Richard Marles, Greens Senator Richard Di Natale, City of Greater Geelong mayor Darryn

Lyons and G21 chief executive officer Elaine Carbines – answered questions on a range of issues from the audience. Host Tony Jones described Geelong as “the epicenter of manufacturing decline” in his opening remarks, and the first three questions related to job losses in manufacturing. Mr Marles and Ms Henderson traded criticisms about the previous Labor and the existing Liberal governments’ policies. Ms Henderson was applauded for the decision to get rid of the carbon tax, which she called a “$1.1 billion hit on manufacturing” but her

assertion that Ford’s demise happened under the previous government was met with scoffing from the audience. On youth unemployment, Ms Carbines said the proposed changes to HELP and Newstart would not work. “I think that our community wants a much fairer society than one that abandons young people for six months of the year and expects them to fall back on their family, when many families don’t have that capability. I know for a fact that there aren’t 40 jobs for young people to apply for every month in this community.”

Mr Di Natale drew applause for this response to a question about asylum seeker policy: “We should recognise that being able to offer people protection is a sign of strength, it’s not a sign of weakness.” Cr Lyons launched a spirited, table-thumping defense of the City of Greater Geelong’s proposed Christmas tree and lighting spending. “I think we do need an icon on our northfacing bay. “We haven’t spent a cent on anything celebratory in this city in a long time.” To watch or download the whole episode, head to abc.net.au/tv/qanda.

Community shares its view on air BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE sounds of the capital came to Geelong this week, with 774 ABC Melbourne broadcasting its morning show from Deakin University’s Waterfront campus. A curious crowd filled the Waterfront Kitchen as host Jon Faine interviewed guests and took questions from the audience live on the radio. His first guest was City of Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons, who gave an upbeat assessment on the challenges facing the region. “It’s been hard-hit, but we’ve been hard hit before. We have to become a 21st century smart city, and we have to transition far more quickly – we have been far too complacent.” He said instead of Geelong residents

RE LY A D N FRIE E R U FUT

heading to Melbourne to work, the city should instead focus on pulling Melbourne companies down the highway. “We’re 40 minutes away from the world’s most livable city. Geelong is a lifestyle town.” Deakin University vice-chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander said the importance of the digital economy should not be understated. “The future will require us to have skills that machines can’t do.” She also sounded a cautionary note about the federal government’s proposed deregulation of university fees, which will come into effect from the start of 2016. “We already have the sixth highest fees in the world, and we don’t need to go much higher than that.”

Well-known Geelong identity Frank Costa said he was upbeat about Geelong’s future. “It’s been 24 years since 1990, when Geelong got a big kick in the teeth – we’re not as flat now.” Other guests on the program included Tim Goodin from the Geelong Trades Hall, Barwon Medicare Local chief executive officer Jason Trethowan, and Ian Cover from the Coodabeen Champions. The regular ‘Conversation Hour’ segment was devoted to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Co-hosted by disability advocate Stella Young, it included NDIS chair Bruce Bonyhady, St Laurence Community Services chief executive officer Toby O’Connor, and two participants in the NDIS Barwon trial.

Carbon tax to go but other DID YOU KNOW climate polices up in the air 1 IN 6 AUSSIE KIDS BY JAMES TAYLOR THE federal government believes it has the votes to push its plan to repeal the carbon tax through Parliament, but the fate of related climate policies is less clear. Last week, Palmer United Party (PUP) leader Clive Palmer said his supporters in the new Senate – which began on Tuesday – would allow the federal government’s bill to pass. Mr Palmer has also proposed replacing the carbon tax with an emissions trading scheme (ETS), in which the price of carbon set at zero until Australia’s major trading partners adopt an ETS. However, Mr Palmer says he will vote against the government’s Direct Action plan to replace the carbon tax. PUP will also oppose any moves to abolish the Renewable Energy Target (RET), the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the Climate Change Authority. The federal government is reviewing the RET,

HAVE EXPERIENCED EYE PROBLEMS?

and Prime Minister Tony Abbott said this week that it was having a “significant impact” on pushing up power prices. However, Clean Energy Council (CEC) chief executive David Green said analysis by ROAM Consulting for the CEC showed that power prices would actually be lower by the end of the decade if the RET was left in place than under a scenario in which it was removed. “This is because without the RET, we would need to get more of our electricity from gas, which the Australian Industry Group and the New South Wales government predict may as much as triple in cost this decade.” He said the 2013 Clean Energy Australia Report showed that the renewable industry contributed more than $5 billion of investment to the economy each year for the past three years and 21,000 jobs. “This report shows that this is an industry poised to unlock tens of billions of dollars in investment, if the RET remains in place following the review process.”

The Palmer United Party will not support the Direct Action plan – mooted as a way to clean up the Anglesea mine and power station – in the Senate.

Rory into action on rejuvenation plan BY JAMES TAYLOR

Rory Costelloe has 30 years of experience in local government, engineering and broad-acre development management.

THE executive director of Villawood Properties, Rory Costelloe, has been appointed to a taskforce that will oversee the implementation of a 15-year blueprint to rejuvenate the city centre of Geelong. The Central Geelong Taskforce will drive the Central Geelong Action Plan, which has identified 10 priority projects and a range of other actions to create a smart, thriving, 21st century city. A long-term Geelong resident, Mr Costelloe has 30 years of experience in local government, engineering and broad-acre development management. “I’m honoured to have been selected to this new committee, and to be able to work with influential community leaders such as mayor Darren Lyons, Cr Michelle Heagney, Cr Andy Richards and chief executive officer Dean Frost, as well as the other new taskforce members,” he said. “I’m extremely passionate about the Geelong

region and the committee is a fantastic initiative to ensure our great city continues to grow and prosper.” With formal qualifications in engineering, Mr Costelloe contributes to a range of sector boards and leadership committees as well as industry, academic and government think-tanks. Launched in December, the action plan sets a number of targets to be achieved in central Geelong by 2028, including: • at least 10,000 people to be living there • a reduction in ground floor property vacancy rates to 5 per cent • a 30 per cent increase the number of people working there from 21,000 to 30,000 workers • a 40 per cent increase in visitation • a total student population increase from 4,500 to 10,000 students, and • the conversion of 25 per cent of C and D grade office building space to A and B grade or to residential use.

CfG members address G20 conference MEMBERS of the Committee for Geelong (CfG) shared their views at a G20 conference held in Melbourne last month. Sky Software chief executive officer Nick Stanley and Boundary Bend executive chair Rob McGavin attended the G20 Agenda for Growth: Opportunities for Small to Medium Sized Enterprises conference, hosted by federal Small Business Minister Bruce Billson and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Mr Stanley said he spoke with government policymakers about regarding intellectual property as an asset. “It is my intention to assist in evolving their framework to better support software entrepreneurs by backing the creation of intellectual property; this is critical to Australia – and also Victoria and Geelong – being more forward looking, being more innovative and being more conducive to new business and growth opportunities.

Mr McGavin said governments needed “smarter and better regulation”, of which cutting red tape was an important part but not the total answer. “I expressed my concern that, in the future, Australian consumers would be faced with an ... increase in imports of counterfeit goods, services and food as countries with cheaper labour, lower quality control measures, and in many cases, questionable business ethics, accessed our markets,” he said. “If this was not closely monitored and regulated

by government, especially Customs and ACCC, businesses in Australia would suffer greatly, especially small to medium businesses.” The G20 is comprised of the heads of government, finance ministers and central bank governors of 20 of the world’s major economies. CfG chief executive officer Rebecca Casson said CfG was pleased to have worked with Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson to secure two places at the conference.

New Sue to build on Colac Otway successes BY JAMES TAYLOR

COLAC Otway Shire’s new chief executive officer has more than two decades of experience as a leader and innovator in planning and community development. Sue Wilkinson – who is now the director of city development at Monash City Council – will start work on August 25 after the council formalised her four-year appointment at last month’s meeting. She previously worked in senior roles at the City of Port Phillip, the City of Greater Bendigo and the state government’s Department of Planning and Community Development. Colac Otway mayor Lyn Russell said Ms Wilkinson had an impressive track record managing major strategic planning, economic and community development projects. “Sue’s technical skills and experience are outstanding, as is her ability to engage with people and establish partnerships. “She grew up in regional Victoria and has worked in regional centres, so she also has a good understanding of the challenges that local government is facing outside the city.” Ms Wilkinson grew up in Gippsland and said she was excited to be returning to a regional area. “I know exactly what it’s like to live in a country town and I’m looking forward to moving to Colac. “When you’re a CEO of a shire in a regional area, you’re not just there for the job. You need to be prepared to immerse yourself and participate in the community.” She said her focus would be on working with council and the community to support the delivery of high-quality local services. “I am committed to building on the successes of the shire and will work hard for strategic, futurefocused and positive outcomes for Colac Otway in the years ahead. “I can see there are some challenges we need

to overcome in terms of access and transport and ongoing funding attraction. “I think that supporting the creation of employment opportunities through facilitation is central to helping regional areas remain strong

economically, to ensure people have a reason to stay and populations don’t dwindle.” Shire infrastructure and services general manager Phil Corluka is serving as acting chief executive officer.

Sue Wilkinson will begin her role as Colac Otway Shire chief executive officer on August 25.

Shire endorses new model for local road BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire has signaled its approval of a significantly different model of distributing road funding to Victorian councils. At their meeting last month, councillors endorsed that the G21 Geelong Region Alliance would be its Regional Roads Group in the federal government’s Heavy Vehicle Charging and Investment (HVCI) Reform project. The transport industry has been lobbying state and federal governments for some time for more direct funding for first and last kilometer upgrades on local roads. In December, the Council of Australian Governments identified HVCI Reform as a priority project to be introduced in the next few years. In the project, the $3 billion of annual heavy vehicle charges for vehicles weighing more than 4.5 tonnes will be dedicated entirely to road improvements, including – for the first time – local roads. These funds will be allocated according to road use and forecast need, rather than by using a formulabased approach. For local roads, funding will be allocated to priorities as agreed by regional groups of councils – in the Surf Coast Shire’s case, G21 – working in conjunction with other stakeholders. At the moment, Victoria is the only state without Regional Roads Groups, and the HVCI Reform project team approached the Municipal Association of Victoria in November to ask that Victoria establish the groups as a matter of urgency. Shire director of infrastructure Sunil Bhalla said heavy vehicle charges were presently going into consolidated revenue, but would be tied to road investment under the new system. A final decision on the HVCI Reform project will be made later in the year.

For all of your financial needs, see Crowe Horwath CROWE Horwath offers a range of services that goes beyond raditional accounting. “We’re not just accountants,” Torquay Crowe Horwath managing principal Damian McVilly said. “What sets us apart from our competitors is that we can offer clients the full range of financial services – from the one location.” Crowe Horwath is a local accounting and financial services firm that provides tax and accounting, business advisory, audit, financial advice and superannuation, lending and general insurance broking services, and risk advice. So whether you are an individual, an investor, a business operator, a tradie or a farmer, Crowe Horwath can advise and assist with all your financial needs. By having specialist advisors all under the one roof, a more strategic approach can be taken to identify financial risk and provide practical advice to achieving your financial goals. Damian is a financial advisor with over 20 years of experience, focusing mainly on wealth creation and accumulation leading on to retirement planning. “I love getting to know my clients and hearing their plans for the future,” he said. “I see it as a challenge to then work out the best strategy to make it all happen. “Whether clients want to manage

their own finances and just use me as an advisor, or hand the work over to me to set up and manage on their behalf with regular updates and reports, either way I feel like I am helping. “I work closely with Greg Libbis and Paul Robson who do all our accounting, tax and business advisory work and this seamless interaction between us working with clients is so much more effective and efficient. And we call in the lending broker Rod Bed, risk advisor Andrew McDougall, or the general insurance advisor Chris Russell to arrange business insurance, life or income protection etc as needed. “I can’t imagine being a client having their accountant say one thing, their lawyer another, their bank manager something else and their financial planner the opposite. “How confusing and ridiculous is that? Not to mention the time it must take and how do you make decisions? “No, definitely our combined approach is the way to go. It’s been proven over and over again and our clients certainly stand by us on this. Some just use us for their tax, some just for insurance etc. “But over time they realise that we can do all their financials, making it easy, stress free, quick, and all the documents are securely stored in the one location.” For more information, phone the office on 5261 2080.

When my father sailed off to war in 1918, Australia was constantly training new recruits to replace the many casualties on the frontlines. Unlike his young Aussie mates, Dad would have known what to expect on a sea voyage as he had sailed to Melbourne from his birthplace in Devonshire in 1913. The boys were not allowed to go ashore at Cape Town. The ship anchored offshore and leave was cancelled “owing to an infectious epidemic raging there”. They sailed the same night but five days later Dad wrote in his diary, “We have the influenza epidemic on board, a lot of men are down with it.” He started recording the deaths on his ship – 25 in seven days. This scourge was the Spanish influenza. It had a very sudden onset. Many who woke with it had died by midnight. Within days, one ship had half her men infected. So many young men died on board ships without seeing any action. In retrospect, they needn’t have

Dear Editor,

overrunning of Torquay and its beaches by a marauding, harassing and pooling pack of peopleunfriendly dogs. I have lived in the Surf Coast Shire for the past 14 years and walked our current dog off lead on Fishermans and Whites beaches for almost three years. Dog walkers on those beaches not only clean up their dog’s poo but also other dogs poo if the owner has failed to and the other rubbish which some people choose to drop on the beach rather than carry it to the bins provided at the beach access points. This includes rubbish which has been carried in on the tide. Some of the dogs getting exercised and socialised off lead come from other areas in and around Geelong because this environment in Torquay promotes good behaviour from both the dogs and their owners. Ms Farmer’s comment that it is only a matter of time before a child is bitten by an out-of-control dog is scaremongering at its worst. The council’s bylaws require that for the dog to be off lead it must be kept under effective control at all times by voice commands and be within close proximity to its owner and be placed back on lead immediately if it, without invitation, approaches people or other dogs. It is indeed unfortunate that Ms Farmer and her friends and grandchildren encountered a number of dogs which must have clearly been out of control. I have never seen this happen at Cosy Corner where no dogs are allowed. It is the widest, safest, most child friendly beach in the area. There are also no jet skiers, no fishers getting boats in or out of the water, little seaweed and very few grumpy grandmas. The Surf Coast Shire has done very well in developing by-laws to suit the wide diversity of interests among its growing ratepayer numbers. With regard to dog laws, I understand that a review is currently in progress.

I write regarding Catherine Farmer’s letter (“It’s a dog of a beach”, June 19) concerning the alleged

He was just one of hundreds who had been willing to serve their country had the conflict not ended when it did; and was fortunate to escape the Spanish flu which took so many of his comrades. So, here by the grace of God go I; and three more generations as well. Melva Stott Anglesea

The off season in Apollo Bay Dear Editor, Yes, some off-season tourism would be nice in Apollo Bay. The Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism Board and the Colac Otway Shire seem to be a bit too slow to notice that the gorgeous little walk to Marriners’ Falls has been closed for three years. It’s featured on most old postcards of Apollo Bay and it displays the Otway’s rainforest within a short walk from a stunning new federally-funded bridge on the Barham River. Public warnings are used at other places like the Lake Elizabeth landslip. What is the problem here? Yvonne Francis Apollo Bay

The misunderstood mutts of Torquay Dear Editor, My letter is in response to Catherine Farmer (“It’s a dog of a beach”, June 19), in regards to dogs taking over our beaches. In all fairness, no one should go to the beach with pure dread of all the dogs that have slowly been running all the humans off our beaches. But in all honesty, I have had my issues with humans here since my time as a puppy. Bringing your loud kids who pull my tail and chase me and then run away before I can figure out which did it, has been pure torture. We have so few spaces left and not enough humans to pick up our faeces. You shorten my beach times in the summer and this is not enough? We live in a repressive society that will never understand the confines a backyard. Now people like this attack me in the one place I can feel free? I am writing to unite the misunderstood mutts of Torquay to take a united stand against this hatred. Puppies unite! Baxta the Dog Torquay

Belittling porkies Dear Editor, Regarding (“A Famous Orwellian porcine utterance”, Letters, June 26), Mr Differding is simply twisting what I have written to put his own manipulative spin on it and in doing so is trying to belittle me with his intellectual prowess. Mr Differding should just take a Bex and have a good lie down. If the Bex does not work he should grab a dog and enjoy a lovely long walk along the beach. It works for the rest of us. As for Catherine Farmer, perhaps she should focus her attention on recent anti-social behaviour in Bendigo rather than concerning herself with our fair town. David Fredericks Bellbrae

Lorne needs help

Dear Editor, Dear Editor, I have just spent another few days with my daughter in Torquay. Just to bring a few things to your attention! We went to Cosy Corner (the 400-metre dog-free beach) and guess what? Dogs! We also went to the playground at the end of Loch Ard Drive where there is a clearly visible sign saying “no dogs” guess what? Two dogs running free. I went for a walk at Jan Juc and saw copious amounts of dog faeces. Some were sprayed yellow. This is a problem in Torquay as well. Wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to have a dog free beach (or at least on lead) directly adjacent to a child’s playground. I mean, to get to the beach you

As a seven-day-a-week trader in Lorne, I was most disappointed in councillor Clive Goldsworthy’s thoughts in the article “Projects to revitalise Torquay and Lorne trading” (Surf Coast Times, July 26). He must obviously be out of touch with the grass roots of his ward, as I cannot imagine another reason why he would suggest that Lorne doesn’t require concern, and the focus be on Torquay alone. Just driving into the main street of Lorne you are immediately hit with numerous closed shops, and a grey, dull appearance. It is not hard to see why this first impression

of our town is enough to entice tourists to travel through. Retail trading over winter in Lorne is a struggle at best, and I would like to think that any help in rejuvenating Lorne for winter trading should be accepted with welcome, open arms, and as the councillor for Lorne, Clive Goldsworthy should be fighting for this, instead of doing “as much as we can” for Torquay. If the majority of shop owners in Lorne heard the feedback we do from tourists, they might not be as quick to turn a blind eye to Lorne’s decline. Kirsty Tamani Lorne

Geelong’s L2P mentor program Dear Editor, Last week, on behalf of the Napthine government, I had the opportunity to thank the Winter and Taylor Motor Group’s managing director, James Morphy, for donating two vehicles to the learner driver mentor program in Geelong. The vehicles will be used to provide young people under 21 years of age who don’t have access to a vehicle or a supervising driver, the opportunity to gain valuable on-road experience.The state-wide L2P program is in more than 60 locations and has been operating in Geelong since 2009.

Dear Editor, Over the past month or so I have read several letters bemoaning the lack of expenditure on infrastructure in Anglesea. I am heartened by the fact that the Surf Coast Shire, in its wisdom, has allocated $250,000 towards the redevelopment of the Anglesea Bowling Club into a Community Hub. Along with a similar contribution from the club itself, $500,000 represents a substantial local commitment to a project valued at $1.5 million. Anglesea is overdue for an injection of state and federal funds into community infrastructure and this “shovel ready” proposal only needs financial support from the state or federal government to enable the Anglesea community to have a modern sporting, community and social centre of which they can be proud and which benefits residents and visitors alike. What more needs to be done by our community before our state and federal members ensure that financial support for this long overdue project is provided without further delay? Ken McCasker Anglesea

In the Geelong region, 269 young people have participated with 64 of them obtaining their probationary licence through the program. Many others, have gained their licence independently.

Imagine a world without coal Dear Editor, Imagine living in a world with no coal. No petrol, no steel generation, no cement manufacturing and loads of other important worldwide uses for coal. If we use the coal towards energy it costs millions of dollars and why do that when we have other ways to produce energy? Victoria is using a lot of brown coal because it is mined in the state but that is no excuse for still using it. It also disturbs the land, affecting the landscape, animals and the habitat around the area. Before the coal gets mined, the area is completely normal and not dangerous for anyone or anything. After the site or area has been mined it is dangerous and makes it bad for animals to use as a home or for other purposes. It would be better if we used our other sources of renewable energy instead like solar, geothermal and wind. We could be a more sustainable planet if we just cut off or at least reduced our usage.

New TAC campaign to put the auto brakes on THE Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has launched its latest campaign to save Victorian lives, featuring new vehicle safety technology that automatically applies the brakes when a collision is imminent. Auto Emergency Braking (AEB), already a standard feature on more than 50 car models available in Victorian showrooms, has the potential to significantly reduce the number and severity of rear-end collisions, ultimately reducing road trauma in the Victorian community. “The new TAC campaign aims to drive consumer demand for the technology in the same way earlier campaigns drove a sharp increase in the uptake of safety features like curtain airbags and electronic stability control (ESC),” Assistant Treasurer Gordon Rich-Phillips said. “As part of the Road Safety Strategy, the TAC campaign encourages Victorians to visit howsafeisyourcar.com.au and consider purchasing a vehicle fitted with technology that can save lives and AEB is just one of these features that car buyers

should consider.” AEB typically uses sensors, radar, laser or cameras to scan the road ahead for risks and detect potential collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians or hazards and is an optional feature in cars including the Ford Focus and the Mazda 3. Most AEB systems will provide an initial warning to the driver when it senses an imminent crash and, if the driver does not respond, AEB will intervene and apply braking. “Rear end collisions account for about 16 per cent of all injury crashes and this technology could significantly reduce the likelihood of these crashes or reduce impact speeds,” Mr Rich-Phillips said. “Based on past experiences, the TAC’s campaign to highlight the life-saving potential of AEB is expected to result in a sharp rise in demand for this technology and it is anticipated that demand will in time lead to a situation where AEB becomes a standard feature on almost every vehicle on the market.” When the TAC launched its Electronic Stability Control (ESC) campaign in 2004, 10 per cent of

cars sold in Victoria were fitted with the technology. Over the next nine years that figure grew to 95 per cent and Victoria consistently outperformed the rest of the country in terms of ESC uptake. “Through this AEB campaign, we are once again leading the rest of the country in promoting lifesaving vehicle-safety technology,” Mr Rich-Phillips said. AEB systems fall into three main categories, with some vehicles featuring a combination of systems: • Low speed systems are designed for urban environments where vehicle collisions generally occur at low speeds. The systems generally scan for other vehicles at close range; • Higher speed systems typically use long-range radar to scan up to 200 metres ahead of a vehicle and can be effective in higher speed environments, and • Pedestrian systems are specifically designed to detect the characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists, often using a combination of camera and radar.

The TAC has launched a campaign encouraging car buyers to purchase vehicles that have Auto Emergency Braking technology installed.

Restrictions lifted on some cars for P-platers P-PLATE drivers now have greater choice of vehicles for their first car, with changes to the prohibited vehicles guidelines to allow for more modern, fuel-efficient cars. Restrictions on thousands of vehicles previously banned for P-platers were lifted on July 1. Minister for Roads Terry Mulder said previously, all eight-cylinder cars and any petrol powered cars with a turbo or supercharger were banned. “These days, many manufacturers are using small or medium sized turbocharged or supercharged engines to deliver improved fuel consumption. “We’re changing to a simpler system where P-platers are banned from driving vehicles that have a power to weight ratio of more than 130 kilowatts of power per tonne.

“These are practical changes that recognise that some smaller cars have turbo as standard now, for example, while making sure P-Platers don't drive cars that big and built for speed. “It will not matter how many cylinders the vehicle has, what fuel type the vehicle uses, or whether the vehicle is turbo or supercharged. “What matters is the engine size relative to the size of the car. “This is great news for P-platers that are looking to buy their first car, who will now have greater range of cars to choose from including those that may be more fuel-efficient. Examples of cars that can now be legally driven by P-platers include: • 2014 Toyota Landcruiser (GX 8 cylinder, 4.5 litre) • 2014 Ford Kuga Trend TF (4 cylinder, 1.6 litre

turbocharged) • 2014 Volkswagen Polo 77TSI Comfortline (4 cylinder, 2.0 litre turbo-charged) Mr Mulder said the new guidelines would also benefit young people in the rural and agricultural sector where the previous restrictions could affect employment. “Changing the guidelines will open up better job opportunities for P-platers in regional areas, by removing restrictions on vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser which are preferred by the agricultural sector. “This is about practicality, as many eight cylinder vehicles are heavy and therefore lack the ability to accelerate quickly.” The updated restrictions have been entered into the searchable car database at vicroads. vic.gov.au.

Big day in Barwon Heads THE results may not have gone the club’s way, but Barwon Heads Football Netball Club put on a show on Saturday when they hosted Queenscliff for the day’s Bellarine league matches. A special lunch featuring former Australian netballers Sharelle McMahon and Eloise Southby was held prior to the A Grade netball game. They were there as part of the WorkSafe Game of the Month series of events. McMahon and Southby held a clinic in the morning for the Under 13 netballers from Barwon Heads and Queenscliff before attending the luncheon. During the A Grade match, both former

players sat on the bench and assisted in the coaching of both sides. Prior to the event, Barwon Heads Netball Club secretary Bec Whitehead said Queenscliff and Barwon Heads had played in some close contests over the past two seasons and history repeated itself with Barwon Heads losing by the narrowest possible margin – one goal. In the seniors football match, former Cats premiership player Brad Ottens pulled on the boots for Barwon Heads but it wasn’t enough to get them over the line against a resurgent Queenscliff, which won the game by 14 points to keep their finals hopes alive. See reports and results in Sport, which begins on page 95.

Darryn Lyons features on the new billboard encouraging residents and businesses to use Avalon Airport.

Mayor’s pro-Avalon message takes flight

BY JAMES TAYLOR

WITH less than a year until Jetstar’s contract expires, City of Greater Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons has called on the Geelong community to get behind Avalon Airport. “It’s as simple as use it or lose it,” he said. “Geelong businesses, families, anyone who travels to and from Sydney – give Avalon some love!” To help push the mayor’s message, a billboard with the words “Avalon. Don’t let this one depart” has been built on the Princes Highway at Hovells Creek. The mayor has also sent an email urging local businesses to make the switch from Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport to Avalon for flights to and from Sydney. “If we want to keep Jetstar at Avalon, we need to fill flights,” he said. “At the moment, Jetstar has five flights to

Sydney a day. “I urge anyone planning a trip to Sydney or who has a stopover in Sydney to support our local airport. It’s a short drive and parking’s a breeze. “Ideally we’d like to see more flights to more locations, but in order to attract more services we need to show the demand is there. “We’re all in this together, so we need to support our local industry to create and retain jobs, attract new businesses and prosper overall.” In December, the state government and Avalon Airport signed a deal for Jetstar to operate five flights a day from the airport until April 2015. At the time, Jetstar Group chief executive officer Jayne Hrdlicka said the airline was committed to working with key stakeholders throughout 2014 to find ways to improve the performance of its services and support tourism to the region. “We are hopeful that Jetstar working in partnership with the community and the Airport team will help Avalon find a sustainable future.”

Revegetation investigation Pupils in Grades 3 to 6 at St Therese Catholic Primary School recently worked with representatives from the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee and the Torquay Coast Action Group to revegetate sand dunes and roadside areas at Fishermans Beach. Pupils have been investigating ways of sustaining the planet in class. The investigations are centred on the pupils identifying problems relating to the environment in their local and global community, and then taking action to not only inform others about the issue but also to take action to rectify it in some way. The school is also only one of two in the Barwon region to be a Sustainability Victoria 5-star Sustainable School.

Cans4Films Festival hits Torquay BY TIFFANY PILCHER

WATCHING your favourite films is a lot more worthwhile in July, with Network DVD Torquay swapping a free weekly rental for every can donated throughout the month to the Torquay Food Bank. Simply donate a can of food at the Network DVD at Shop 2/12 Gilbert Street, Torquay during July for a free weekly rental, and if you donate two cans, you will receive three weekly rentals. Don’t have any spare cans? Don’t worry, you can still contribute by offering a gold coin donation which will be used to purchase more cans of food to feed those who need it the most. This is the seventh year Network DVD has run the

program, which has contributed more than 300,000 cans (or more than 150 tonnes) of food to local food shelters and charities across Australia. Network DVD Torquay owner Noel Anderson said the response from the Torquay community each year is admirable. “We always get a great local response. It’s important to us and to others to support our own community. “We collect around 300 to 400 cans each year which helps around 200 local families. “Cans4Films helps a lot of people who really need it and we’re hoping Torquay gets behind the cause again this year.” All cans collected by the Torquay store go to the Torquay Food Bank.

Campaign supports homeless youth BY JAMES TAYLOR FOR many, life is comfortable compared to that of the vast number of teenagers sleeping tough, but the Caravan Industry Association of Victoria (CIAV) is campaigning to bring them a brighter future with greater hope, security and stability. A supporter of Kids Under Cover, the CIAV is running its ‘From Living Tough to Living Safe’ campaign to raise money to build relocatable studios throughout Victoria. The aim is to get young kids off the streets to live safely and securely, with the first CIAV initiative

to raffle off a luxurious five-star family caravan at the Melbourne Leisurefest Sandown Racecourse on October 5. The studios – one- and two-bedroom units with bathrooms built to house homeless youth – is a key Kids Under Cover program to prevent youth homelessness by providing space while remaining connected with family or carers as they live on-site. Each studio costs $55,000 to build. For every dollar invested in a studio, it is estimated the community saves an average $3.30 in health and justice costs. There are presently 366 studios in operation

throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria. The studio program has improved the lives of many homeless youth, with outcomes including: • 90 per cent said the studio helped keep their family together • 85 per cent said the program allowed them to get access to stable accommodation • 80 per cent said the studio helped them focus on positive life choices such as education and employment • 74 per cent improved their level of self-esteem and confidence • 66 per cent said the studio helped them study and

do well at school, and • 15 per cent said they were inspired to own their own home. CIAV chief executive officer Rob Lucas said the Kids Under Cover studio program was making a significant change in the lives of young Victorians. “We have seen lives many would have thought lost to the streets, turned around dramatically, and the CIAV wants to help Kids Under Cover continue its great work in turning the lives around of Victoria and Australia’s next generation of future leaders.” For more information or to donate to Kids Under Cover, head to kuc.org.au.

Apollo Bay pupils tasked to name new dredge BY JAMES TAYLOR THE creative skills of students at Apollo Bay P-12 College are being called on to help launch a new era at the Apollo Bay harbour. In the build-up to the September launch of the new $3.1 million dredge, students will take part in a month-long competition to produce colourful artworks and offer potential names for the vessel. The funding for the specially-built dredge was announced in May 2013 by Minister for Ports David Hodgett. Port Macquarie company Birdon in the final stages of construction, and the dredge will be in the water within months. The competition to name the new dredge was launched with an excursion by the college’s grade five and six students and will be operated in different sections according to age. “The younger students are being asked to take part in a colour-in competition and put forward their ideas for a name; the older children will be asked to tell us their thoughts in a paragraph on what the

dredge should be called and why,” Colac Otway Shire mayor Lyn Russell said. The final entries will be judged by local and state government representatives, with the winning entry to receive a $150 voucher at a local store. “The new dredge will replace our current vessel, the Gannet, which has been in operation since 1950, having previously served as an ammunitions barge out of Sydney harbour,” Cr Russell said. The Gannet’s replacement will offer modern features such as kelp cutters, emergency shut-off valves and equipment for measuring and recording production output. “Essentially the job of our new dredge, like the Gannet, will be to excavate and remove material from the bottom of the ocean to keep the mouth of the harbor open,” Cr Russell said. “The Apollo Bay harbour is one of only three safe blue water havens in Victoria west of Port Phillip Bay. “It is an important base for our fishing industry, and council believes it is a priority to maintain and build on its status as a working port.”

Apollo Bay P-12 College pupils look over the Gannet for inspiration of what to name its replacement.

Project to help community prepare for floods A PROJECT supported by $405,000 of federal government funding will help better protect Corangamite from the threat of natural disasters. The three-year project will assist the Victoria State Emergency Services to deliver FloodSafe programs across Barwon South West Region and engage with the community about flood risks, following the 2010-11 floods. The federal and Victorian governments each

contributed $4.2 million towards the 48 Natural Disaster Mitigation Program projects to be rolled out across the state, with the remaining funding contributed by the applicants. Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said residents across the electorate sadly knew the devastating impact of natural disasters all too well. “Natural disasters can have an enormous effect

on our economy and cripple businesses and communities. “FloodSafe will assist the Barwon South West Region to be more resilient and better prepared to prevent and lessen the impact of future floods.” “This program is all about helping the community to prepare and respond to natural disasters.”

Minister for Justice Michael Keenan said while the nature and size of the country’s landscape meant that natural hazards were a fact of life in Australia, more needed to be done to manage natural disaster risks. “The federal government is supporting the states and territories as they assist those recovering from natural disasters, and we are focused on boosting the resilience of communities to future events.”

Planting day helps out Cape Otway koalas THE future of the koala population in the Cape Otway region is looking brighter thanks to Colac Otway Shire’s youth councillors, who helped plant 20,000 trees last month. The youth councillors and mentors joined an army of volunteers to plant manna gums, blackwoods and several types of acacias on public and private land at Bimbi Park. An explosion in the koala population at Bimbi Park – located to the north of the Cape Otway Lightstation – had devastated the manna gums in the area, stripping trees bare of leaves and putting the animals at risk of starvation. Colac Otway mayor Lyn Russell said the youth councillors made a significant contribution to the planting tally.

“They worked exceptionally hard and I was very proud of the way they interacted with each other and all the volunteers. “In 20 years’ time, they’ll be able to go back to Bimbi Park and look with pride at the habitat they have created for the koalas and other native wildlife.” All trees planted have sturdy tree guards to ensure they are protected until they have established and grown. The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology has found there is evidence of a high density koala population in the Great Otway National Park and nearby land tenures, where counts of up to 7-10 koalas per hectare have been recorded in manna gum habitats.

Rachael Richardson, Colac Otway mayor Lyn Russell, Emma McMaster, mentor Tabitha Morgan from Colac Area Health, Emily Beale and Nicholas Lenehan-Anderson get their hands dirty at the planting day.

Bellbrae Bric-a-brac celebrates 10th birthday BY JAMES TAYLOR

BELLBRAE Bric-a-brac has reached its 10th year of operation, and celebrated the occasion with a special service at the local Uniting Church.

The Reverend Helen Robinson praised the volunteers who kept the shop running and raised funds for local community groups, as well as boosting the church coffers. The idea of the op shop was the brain-child of

former residents, Bob and Marg Skewes, who looked for another use for the church hall. The quaint timber building originally came from Connewarre, but was relocated to Bellbrae from Anglesea. Volunteers got to work and refitted the space, recycling the old pulpit from the church for use as a counter. A purpose-built bookroom has more recently been added to the shop. This has become a mecca for booklovers throughout the district â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those who enter can rarely resist leaving without a title picked from the array of books displayed by Carleen Thoernberg.

Op shop organiser Bev Hooper said she never imagined that the shop would still be going strong 10 years on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, but once they discover us, they just keep coming back for our irresistible bargains.â&#x20AC;? The shop stocks a range of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, kitchen and home-ware, knickknacks, electrical items, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s furniture and toys, all sourced from local donations. A 50-strong team of volunteers take turns to staff the shop, located at the corner of School and Anglesea roads, which is open on Thursdays and Fridays from 10am-4pm and on Saturdays from 10am-1pm.

Firewood collection shuts down for winter BY JAMES TAYLOR

Volunteers and friends of Bellbrae Bric-a-brac celebrate the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary.

THE autumn 2014 firewood collection season closed across Victoria at the end of last month. Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) statewide land and fire coordinator Rob Price reminded people that, as of July 1, all designated firewood collection areas were closed over the winter period and it would not be legal for people to collect firewood on public land until the start of the spring firewood collection season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone wanting to collect firewood before the end of the autumn firewood season should be aware that some designated firewood collection areas may already be closed because the supply

in that area has already been exhausted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public will be able to start collecting firewood again from designated firewood collection areas from September 1.â&#x20AC;? DEPI and Parks Victoria staff will be patrolling parks, forests and reserves during winter to ensure people are doing the right thing.

Saleyards naming deadline approaches BY DEAN WEBSTER THE community have just a couple of weeks left to submit their ideas on the future name of the Colac Livestock Selling Centre that has recently undergone a major upgrade. The deadline to rename the saleyards is July 11, and as yet submissions have been minimal according to the Colac Otway Shire. In August, the council will officially launch the new $1.5 million roof and key stakeholders have moved to rename the selling centre as it steps into a new era. The council, in partnership with the Colac Stock Agent’s Association and the Saleyard Advisory Committee, will officially launch the roof on August 1. In the build-up to that launch, council is calling for suggested names to be submitted on what the facility should be called. Colac Otway Shire acting chief executive officer Phil Corluka said that they were looking for a name

that reflects the quality of the newly developed facility. “We want the saleyards to be rebranded in a way that establishes it as the premier selling centre in the Western District,” Mr Corluka said. “Colac is ideally placed to be one of the strongest trading centres in the region well into the future. “What we call the centre is extremely important in how we present ourselves in relation to our connection with the agricultural community.” Colac Stock Agent Association president Terry Dove said that it was important the community and stakeholders have input into renaming this state of the art selling centre. “We’re positioning ourselves for the future,” Mr Dove said. “Renaming the saleyards marks an exciting opportunity for all of our industry. “I urge everyone with an interest in the livestock industry game to submit the name they think will have the most impact.” The deadline for all submissions is July 11, after

which a selection committee representing council and the industry will choose the future name.

Submission forms are available at the livestock selling centre or by contacting Colac Otway Shire.

Cattle market report

BY DEAN WEBSTER

THIS week’s yarding of 285 cattle at Ballarat was 88 head down on previous sale. There was a better quality yarding of cattle in the reduced sized offering with the near usual following of buyers. Less re-stocker competition was obvious in the young cattle sale, with prices lowering as a result to within the processor range. Most young cattle sold equally on quality and cows also averaged unchanged, though the plainer cows were up to 5 to 8 cents per kilogram and the better covered grades were firm at best. Grown steers were too few to quote on and the grown heifers sold a little dearer in places. There were no heavy-weight bulls penned this week and the yarding comprised 61 steers, 79 heifers, 133 cows and 12 lighter bulls. The C2 and C3 yearlings mainly sold between 150 and 180 cents to processors and re-stockers with the odd sale up to 188 cents per kilogram to processors. The few D2 yearlings made from 133 to 157 cents with restockers paying up to 170 cents per kilogram. The C3 and C4 grown steers sold at 179, 187 and 189 cents per kilogram respectively. Grown heifers were from two to four scores and ranged between 140 and 160 cents, with the top sale at 164 cents per kilogram. The E1 cows sold from 82 to 112 cents, while D1 grades made 110 to 131 cents and the D2 cows were at 128 to 137 cents per kilogram. Most three to five score cows sold from 140 to 147 cents per kilogram. Last week’s Colac yarding of 330 cattle was up by 100 head on last sale. With the lift in cattle numbers came a noticeable

THE state government has allocated $30,000 to help promote a major equine industry event at the Melbourne Showgrounds in November. Minister for Tourism Louise Asher said the grant from Tourism Victoria’s Events Program would support Equitana Melbourne 2014, an event which will generate significant economic benefit for the state. “Equitana is a combination of trade show, education, competition and equine-related entertainment, which brings together a collection of horse breeds, disciplines, products, services and entertainment,” she said. “The event is unique because it brings the entire equine industry to one venue to showcase Australian expertise and products. “The equine industry has a strong relevance to regional Victoria and this event has a substantial economic and educational impact for the state due to its business focus. “It will feature the largest gathering of equine and rural sector exhibitors in Australia and attract some of the world’s best equine presenters. “Dressage, show jumping, camp drafting and carriage driving competitions will be held in the purpose built 5,000 seat indoor arena and the 4,000 seat outdoor competition arena. “There will be four nights of entertainment highlighting professional horsemen sharing their knowledge alongside equine and musical entertainment. “A ‘Breeders’ Village’ display arena will showcase international and Australian horse breeds as well as an interactive area showcasing trucks and floats. “The event is now a catalyst for the revitalisation of the equine industry.”

increase in overall quality for the existing following of buyers. Demand was stronger across the whole market with prices for all categories higher. The yarding comprised 118 grown steers, 26 grown heifers, 90 young cattle, 75 cows and 21 bulls. Mainly C2 and C3 yearlings were penned in the

young cattle sale and they averaged 15 cents dearer to sell from 160 to 195 cents per kilogram. A pen of five heavier weight C4 heifers made 198 cents and the three vealers topped the market at 200 cents per kilogram. Restockers mostly paid 170 to 178 cents with 28 steers sold to a grazier at 196 cents per kilogram.

Shep Huntly’s The League of Sideshow Superstars will have audiences locked in their seats at the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts in August.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER SOMETIME in the early 90s, Shep Huntly wriggled into place on a bed of nails and waited for a bowling ball to drop on his stomach. It was in that moment he decided sideshow was right up his alley. Huntly has been around the circus and sideshow traps ever since, and created The League of Sideshow Superstars in 2005 to shine the spotlight on the art alongside a rotating line-up of Australia’s best entertainers. The elite sideshow act has crisscrossed the country several times over and is coming to the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts in August. This time, Huntly is bringing with him the first lady of Australian sideshow, Tigerlil. He said Tigerlil’s show, complete with an angle grinder and metal bikini, is “the original and the best”. “She is often imitated but never equalled.” Multiple world-record-holding strongman the Great Gordo Gamsby is also on the list. Huntly said Gamsby can drive a nail through a plank of wood with his bare hands, and that isn’t even his best trick. They will also be joined by the “positively mindblowing” martial arts expert Aerial Manx. “He is the only person on the planet – not just in Australia who can swallow a sword and perform acrobatics,” Huntly said. “It’s phenomenally dangerous, I’ve been doing this with him for a long time now and every time I see it I still get full

body shivers, it’s a very special act.” Known as “the man with iron skin”, Huntly said his addiction to sideshow is all-consuming. “I’ve never wanted to do anything else, as a kid I wanted to be in the circus and then I was and I just kept pushing the limits. “People clap politely for actors, at the circus you might get a holler or a whoop here and there, but for sideshow, they react like it’s a rock concert and it’s such an amazing feeling.” The show has its roots in the “freak shows” of the 19th Century, when artists such as little person General Tom Thumb were made rich and famous for flaunting their differences. Today, the focus is more on teetering at the frontier of physical human limits, and Huntly said there is much respect for the dedication necessary to achieve such feats. “It’s all genuine, there is no magic or illusion involved and people can’t help but get swept up in the excitement. “We like to shock, but more so, we want to inspire people. “It takes a lifetime of dedication to be able to perform some of these acts and people really respect that. “People show us what they can do or tell us they’ve always wanted to do sideshow, and that seeing our show made them feel good about that, rather than weird. “Being able to change people’s perceptions of how they see themselves is really cool. “The whole show is a celebration of what makes us all different.” The Lorne Performing Arts Festival is on August 29 to 31, for tickets and more information, visit lovelornefestival.com.

An underhanded debut

BY TIFFANY PILCHER

GRUNGY Anglesea shoegazers The Underhanded are bringing their warped mash-up of fuzzy textures and dreamy pop melodies to the Torquay Hotel on Saturday night. The group, made up of Patrick Doolan, Cory Balloch, Ian Hawkins and Jarrah Taylor, are making a name for themselves with their powerful stage presence and aggressive playing styles and tones. Since forming in 2007, they have shared the stage with various local and international bands, such as Earthless, King of the North, 12 Foot Ninja, Redcoats and more. They’re also becoming festival favourites and have played at River Rocks, Apollo Bay Music Festival, and Queenscliff Music Festival. The Underhanded have just finished recording their debut EP Superpsycho at Melbourne’s Birdland Studios, which was engineered and mixed by Rob Long (Shihad, Cosmic Psychos, Thirsty Merc) and demoed with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Stu Mackenzie. Superpsycho presents the band’s experimental variety of styles, ranging from long, fuzz-soaked doom, to clean, dreamy pop and heavy psychedelia.

Hemp film brings eco message home BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE next instalment in the Surf Coast Energy Group’s film season is set to explore the resource of hemp, and the reasons why it is not farmed and used more widely. More industrial hemp is exported to the US than to any other country and American consumers are purchasing more than $450 million in hemp products annually. Bringing It Home explores the question of why a crop with so many widespread benefits cannot be farmed in the US. The film illustrates the history of hemp and current industries, and talks to both opponents and proponents of the industrial hemp farming legalisation effort. The documentary was inspired by home designer Anthony Brenner’s quest to find the healthiest building material available to build a safe indoor

environment for his daughter, who has a rare genetic disorder and sensitivity to synthetic chemicals. SCEG member Bronwyn Spark said hemp is sustainable and can be used in housing (hempcrete), fuel, paper, textiles, healthy food and even auto parts. “As it grows in poor soil and low rainfall it is very suitable for Australian conditions. Currently there are only five growers in Victoria, but as we inform people of the great health benefits and uses of the seed and oil and create a demand this could really expand. “The film shows the developments in hemp products and production around the globe. “As they say in the film ‘hemp is hope’, it is the perfect tool to work with nature.” The president of the Victorian Hemp Growers Association will attend the screening and be available to answer questions. Bringing It Home screens at Surf World Museum, Beach Road Torquay at 7pm on Friday July 11.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

A Game of Rhones LAST week, I was fortunate enough to attend a series of different wine tastings all in the one tight, action-packed afternoon with wines from Portugal, Italy, and France on display at one venue. Around the corner, it was followed by a line-up of tasty offerings from the fabulous Torbreck winery from the Barossa. Not a bad afternoon’s work you might say? Well, for me just another day at the office, but granted, an exciting one! I hadn’t attended a big tasting of Torbreck wines before so I was more than keen to get acquainted with their amazing red wines, made from old vines with more than a nod in the direction of the Rhone Valley for inspiration, where the main red grape varieties used are Shiraz (Syrah), Grenache and Mataro/Mourvedre. The Torbreck story starts back in 1994, when founder David Powell discovered some old vines that were dry grown in an old vineyard in the Barossa that needed a clean up and some tender loving care. What initially began as a share-farming enterprise sourcing old-vine fruit from some of the best vineyards in the Barossa grew through the years to include companyowned vineyards that were acquired along the journey. Fruit these days is now 100 per cent estate sourced. The name “Torbreck” was taken from a forest in Scotland where David worked in his younger years as a lumberjack, but is now synonymous with super high quality Barossa red wines. Here’s a quick look at some of the standouts from the tasting, and on a somewhat lighter/darker note, as so happens with these indulgent afternoons one always pays in one way or another. This time around it was a $70 parking ticket!

Torbreck Woodcutters Barossa RVM 2012 ($25) An incredibly delicious, lip-smacking dry white blend of Rhone varietals Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne that’s quite intensely aromatic but it’s the palate that rocks with the Roussanne providing structure and backbone, the Viognier giving floral richness to the aromatics and fullness of flavour while the Marsanne adds honeysuckle texture and freshness. Reallyy enjoyable. j y

Torbreck Woodcutters Barossa Shiraz 2012 ($25) Always a popular wine whatever the vintage, this is a great entry level teaser for the rest of the portfolio, with that ease of opulent rich dark fruits holding sway. Terrific value, always.

Torbreck ‘The Steading’ Barossa GSM 2010 ($38) Wow, what an interesting wine that combines all the complexity of Asian spice, licorice, raspberry, leather, and wild dry herbs with a textured palate layered with crushed berries, integrated oak, dark earth notes finishing with a fine balance of acidity and tannins woven together to create a lovely supple finish. A blend of old vine Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre, some up to 150 years old!

Torbreck ‘The Struie’ Barossa Shiraz 2011 ($48) A blend of Eden Valley and Barossa fruit that is dense, fragrant and silky smooth on the palate. All the fine trimmings of rich black fruits, pepper/spice and meaty/olive complexity add to the interest here, making for a rich, intense wine of great proportion and balance on the finish.

Torbreck ‘The Laird’ Barossa Shiraz 2006 - Ltd ($700) Any wine that commands this sort of money is certainly going to attract some very focused attention, and in this case with deserved applause. A world-class wine sourced from an old Marananga vineyard with ‘X’ factor. The small, intense, concentrated grapes provide a wine of regional authenticity and expression via the complex earthy/savoury texture. Monumental.

Torbreck ‘Highland Fling’ Barossa Fortified Shiraz 2012 375ml ($48) Loved this! If you’re into fortified wines then this is a must try. Dense, opulent and long on flavour this is just superb with a core of rich, sweet dark plum/raisin fruits that would go beautifullyy with a ggood cheese pplatter. More pplease!

Cabaret star hatches as Little Bird at GPAC BY TIFFANY PILCHER CABARET king Paul Capsis is set to star in a oneman “fairytale for grownups” at Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) in July. Written for Capsis by award-winning playwright Nicki Bloom, Little Bird is a story about finding yourself, told through songs written by Cameron Goodall from Adelaide folk outfit The Audreys, and composer Quentin Grant. GPAC is the only venue where audiences will be able to see this show outside Adelaide, where the show debuted. Described as “Brothers Grimm meet Ziggy Stardust”, Little Bird is a gripping story of how people can transform many times over the course of a lifetime. Capsis plays the role of a young boy, Wren, who leaves his parents’ isolated cottage for the lights of the big city. Along the way a series of startling transformations occur, blurring the lines of identity and gender as Wren searches for self, love and a place to belong. This production promises to be a rich and powerful theatrical experience, drawing upon fable, mythology and song to create a compelling musical journey. A multi-Helpmann award winning performer, Capsis is renowned for his enormous vocal range and ability to inhabit multiple personas. He has appeared in films and is best known for portraying Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show, as

well as his many solo shows. Little Bird will be at GPAC on July 10, 11 and 12, with an matinee show also on July 12. Tickets are $60 for adults with discounts for people under 27, under 18 and aged pension and seniors card holders. To book tickets, call 5225 1200 or visit gpac.org.au.

Thanks for shanks Simone

I LEARNT a couple of basic cooking techniques when I started catering many years ago. The first was how to reduce cream and use it as the basis of a sauce. By simply adding grain mustard, for example to a cream reduction, you create a sauce which is beautiful with poached chicken or baked pork fillet. It may also be used for a pasta sauce and add flavour with wine, pan juices, mustard, tomato paste, onions, garlic or parmesan cheese. The list is up to your creativity. Cream reduction is the basis of one of my favourite dishes, potatoes Dauphinois. Peel potatoes and slice very thinly. Rinse in cold water, pat dry and layer them in an ovenware dish which has been rubbed with garlic and butter. Pour an outrageous amount of cream over them and dot with more butter. Cook for an hour or so at 160 degrees then turn up the oven for an additional 10 minutes until golden on top. It is a perfect accompaniment to any meat dish or serve with mustard, a green salad and a bottle of wine to share for lunch. The other sauce I often use is a simple tomato based sauce. By using the best quality tinned tomatoes, adding flavour and reducing, it is simple to make a wonderfully rich sauce. This can then be used for slow cooked lamb, pasta or tossed through Mediterranean vegetables and served with grated parmesan. The ways of employing theses sauces are endless. The techniques are obviously very simple, but when I started cooking, I was very simple too! I read lots of cook books and taught myself much more, but I still use either a cream reduction or a tomato based sauce every week. (I suppose it is one reason the Italians make such a big deal of preserving tomatoes and making sugo or passata. It is the basis of so many dishes). All of the staff at Torquay Farm Foods are interested in cooking. Simone’s recipe for slow cooked lamb shanks is outstanding. Simple to cook, yet the flavours are complex and rich.

½ PRICE

4 lamb shanks, Frenched (from Torquay Farm Foods) Murray River salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp flour 1 tbsp olive oil 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh rosemary 1 glass of red wine 1 cup veal stock 4 anchovy fillets 2 tins Italian crushed tomatoes

METHOD Season shanks with salt and pepper and dust with flour. Heat a casserole pan and add olive oil. Brown shanks on all sides and remove. Add garlic, onions and rosemary and sweat until softened. Pour in wine and stock and simmer for a few minutes. Add anchovies and tomatoes. Stir and return shanks to the pan. Bring to the boil, put on the lid and simmer in the oven at 180 for two hours. Remove lid and cook for a further half an hour. Skim off fat and test for seasoning. (It will probably need a little more salt). Serve on potato mash or soft polenta with chopped parsley and some zest of lemon and orange. Simone has a busy life with work and two young boys, so she occasionally uses a slow cooker. Instead of cooking in the oven, follow the recipe until that point then put everything in the slow cooker.

A tipping of hats to convict bonnets DOZENS of convict descendants attended a moving blessing at Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre last week in honour of their convict great, great grandmothers. Tasmanian conceptual artist Christina Henri, the woman behind the Roses from the Heart project, described the Blessing of the Bonnets ecumenical service as “perfect”. More than 25 bonnets made by Colac Otway women were added to the growing collection of bonnets which Dr Henri hopes will become a permanent memorial to the grandmothers and mothers of European settlement in Australia. Each of the calico bonnets which were blessed included the name of the convict, the year she was transported and the vessel she sailed on. Bonnets were contributed by women who are direct descendants of convicts, and others who had chosen to adopt a convict.

At the blessing Dr Henri spoke about her ambitious project to create an artistic and lasting memorial to the convict women who were sentenced to life in Australia, often for misdemeanours committed in order to survive poverty. She was thrilled with the audience’s response and the blessing led by Colac Baptist minister Angela Thomas. “Angela’s blessing was poignant and relevant in linking the past grief and successes of these convict women with contemporary society,” Dr Henri said. “It was definitely a great moment for reflection and it encapsulated their love and loss. It was beautiful and Emily Beale’s violin playing was wonderful.” For CrossXpollinatioN, a celebration of textile and fibre art, Dr Henri will create an installation at COPACC showcasing the new bonnets she’s received from local women, plus another 450

bonnets created by men and women from around the world. Dr Henri will give an artist’s talk at CrossXpollination’s COPACC exhibition on Saturday at 11am. The series of workshops, master classes and exhibitions opened at COPACC with a Wearable Art Market on Saturday. The exhibitions opened at 10am. COPACC manager Karen Patterson said this year’s program and exhibitions were a rich offering, including works by some of Victoria and Australia’s most prominent textile artists. Red Rock Regional Theatre and Gallery’s CrossXPollinatioN exhibition Made with Love opened at 11am on Saturday and runs this weekend and next. Artists talks will be held on July 5 and 12, visit copacc.com.au for more information.

MOORE WEEKLY STARS

JULY 3 - 10 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014

Many Aries are famous for being pioneers in their chosen fields like Leonardo da Vinci, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando and Diana Ross. This week, under the influence of unpredictable Uranus, strive to be intelligent and inventive – rather than disruptive and domineering. The weekend is wonderful for love, romance, friendship, family fun and socialising with colleagues..

Attached Crabs – Saturday’s full moon encourages you to take the time to nurture your partner. Mr or Ms Cancer will be thrilled to be the recipient of some extra attention and tender loving care. Are you sick and tired of being single? Have you been looking for love in all the obvious places? Perhaps it’s time to crawl out of your Crab cave and be a lot more adventurous?

Uranus unsettles your usual routine early in the week. Then tempers fray and patience wears thin on Saturday, when the full moon falls in your home zone. So it’s not a good time to get the long lost relatives together or bring up sensitive issues with fractious family members. Sunday’s Venus/Mars trine is super for love, romance and socialising with your favourite friends..

Are you experiencing problems with a partner of the romantic, business or platonic variety? Drop the “I’m right” attitude and strive to communicate in more consultative ways as you inspire others with your ambitious ideas, networking skills and community spirit. It’s also time to review your goals and re-jig your dreams, so that they better reflect an older and wiser you.

Do you have ambitious aspirations? Are you in the process of upsizing your lifestyle with a bigger this, and a more expensive that? Venus and the full moon are stimulating your desire to acquire more stuff, but make sure you have the cold, hard cash to finance these super-sized dreams. In the current economic climate, small and sustainable is the sensible way to go.

Don’t rush in with guns blazing this week Lions. The full moon and Saturn urge you to focus on practical matters and finish details properly before you embark on new projects. So it’s a terrific time to tackle domestic chores and finish DIY projects. Your quote for the week is from birthday great, Henry David Thoreau “Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.”

Communication of all kinds is highlighted this week, from reading and writing to social networking, studying, discussing and debating. Travel is also likely, especially short trips, but try to slip out of Scorpio controlfreak mode and into flexible mode, as plans are likely to be altered at the last minute. On Saturday, avoid dredging up old issues that are best left alone.

You’re very good at avoiding things you don’t want to do. But the nutty professor or blonde bimbo routine usually fools no-one, as your innate intelligence is hard to hide. Shirking responsibilities won’t work this week. If you want to stay out of trouble, then roll up your sleeves and do what you’re supposed to do – and keep your controversial Aquarian opinions to yourself!

Is a family member or work colleague attempting to pull the wool over your eyes Gemini? Step back and take an objective look at what’s really going on. Professional projects and close friends are also a messy mix. Follow the advice of birthday great John Rockefeller: “A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.”

The more proactive you are and the more you network with a wide range of contacts then the better your week will be. If you are attached, it’s time to share a hobby, concert or exhibition with your partner. Single Virgos – vivacious Venus is vamping through your career zone until July 18 so say goodbye to your sensible, serious side at work – and hello to your inner vixen!

Your people-pleasing powers are stuck on high this week, as vivacious Venus boosts your charisma. You’ll be at your persuasive best as you charm the birds out of the trees and inspire others with your passion and enthusiasm. Use it to your advantage – but don’t abuse it. A little Sagittarian charm goes a long way! Sunday is super for group activities and social get-togethers.

Don’t let shyness or lack of confidence stand in the way of forming lasting connections with others. It’s a fabulous week to nurture friendships and tell loved ones how you feel. Recognising the difference between fact and fantasy will help you keep it real. With Venus visiting your domestic zone until July 18 do your best to foster happy and harmonious vibes at home.

Bellbrae author explores grieving in debut novel BY JAMES TAYLOR THE debut novel from Bellbrae-born author Brooke Davis is about love, loss, friendship and yearning, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in Torquay to sign copies of it at an event run by Torquay Books. Released last month, Lost and Found is drawing interest from around the world, with rights sold to 21 territories to date. Millie Bird, seven years old and ever hopeful, always wears red gumboots to match her red, curly hair. Her struggling mother leaves Millie in a local department store and never returns. Agatha Pantha, 82, has not left her house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or spoken to another human being â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since she was widowed seven years ago. She fills the silences by yelling at passersby, watching loud static on the TV and

maintaining a strict daily schedule. Karl the touch typist, 87, once used his fingers to type out love notes on his wife's skin but now types his words out into the air as he speaks. Karl is moved into a nursing home but in a moment of clarity and joy, he escapes. A series of events binds the three together on a road trip that takes them from the south coast of WA to Kalgoorlie and along the Nullarbor to the edge of the continent. Although Davis attempted her first novel at the age of 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which has been described as Anne of Green Gables meets The Baby-sitters Club meets Are You There, God? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Me, Margaret â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lost and Found is her first proper novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to explore what it meant to grieve, not as a process that begins and ends and is only about sadness, but as part of life,â&#x20AC;?

she said. Davis completed her honours degree in writing at the University of Canberra, winning the Allen & Unwin Prize for Prose Fiction, the Verandah Prose Prize, and the University Medal. She recently completed her PhD in creative writing at Curtin University in Western Australia, and was awarded the 2009 Bobbie Cullen Memorial Award for Women Writers, the 2009 AAWP Prize for Best Postgraduate Paper, and the 2011 Postgraduate Queensland Writing Prize. Lost & Found is published by Hachette Australia. Davis will be singing copies of Lost and Found at Torquay Books in Gilbert Street on Sunday July 13 between 1pm and 3pm. See facebook.com/TorquayBooks for more information.

The good, the bad and the ugly BY DR ERIN COFFEY WITH so many antibiotics and drugs on the market for everything from diarrhoea to the common cold, it can be difficult to know whether you really need antibiotics or not. The simple answer is antibiotics are used and only effective if a bacterium is causing illness. Antibiotics are of no real benefit for viral infections. Bacteria are a cellular organism and live in all different environments. They don't need a living host to survive.

Not all bacteria are bad though; our gut contains good bacteria that are needed to assist digestion. Most of the time our body's own immune defence mechanism can stop bacteria in its tracks. However, when our body can’t fight the bacteria, antibiotics may be required. Antibiotics work by either killing the bacteria or by preventing it from reproducing. Misuse and over prescription of antibiotics have caused different bacterial strains to modify and become antibiotic resistant. A virus is an organism that needs a host to survive – be it a plant, animal or human. They take over the cell, altering it, tricking it into making and replicating more viral cells to benefit its survival. Unlike bacteria, there is no ‘good’ virus. Antiviral medication can help slow the spread of

a virus but will not kill it. Vaccines are used as a way to introduce a virus to our immune system. They are given to us as a dead or weakened form of the virus and our body attacks the foreign viral body making antibodies. This means if we are ever exposed to that virus again, our immune system will recognise it and fight it immediately, decreasing the risk of complications to our health and immunity. Some illness such as diarrhoea, meningtisis and pneumonia are difficult to treat and distinguish cause as they can be caused by either a bacterial or viral infection. So although antibiotics aren't always useful it's important to stay aware of your symptoms and if you're concerned see your doctor or pharmacist. Dr Erin Coffey is an Osteopath at The Health Creation Centre in Ocean Grove.

Switch on your creative brain BY BARBARA GRACE WHEN Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asked why creativity is so important to living wholeheartedly, it can be difficult knowing where to begin, as for me creativity infuses and informs every area of life. Developing your creative brain is not always about becoming an artist or composing music or writing a novel. It can involve these activities; yet enhancing your mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creativity gives you so much more flexibility and adaptability in every area of your life. Athletes, entrepreneurs and business people all tap into their creativity to solve problems, enhance

performance and elevate their results. In striving to reach their best, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learnt how to access parts of their brain which will effectively put them in a state of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This means their skills, which have been developed to a high degree, are on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;automaticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; while the goal theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming for becomes the focus. This may sound surprising that we can consciously activate a part of our brain at will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet it is possible. Imagine being able to switch on those moments when creative insight seems to solve a problem youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on. Imagine accessing a part of your brain that can help you achieve the results you want in life. Opportunities to enhance our creative mind surround us daily. Our upcoming course shows you the skills needed to flex those creative muscles. Go to schoolofmodernpsychology.com.au/living-well to find out more. Barbara Grace is the director of the School of Modern Psychology.

An example, from the School of Modern Psychologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources, that helps promote creative thinking.

App to help young people reach out A NEW mobile app launched by beyondblue last week will make it easier for young people to have important conversations with friends who they think may be experiencing depression or anxiety. The free Check-in App, which can be downloaded from the App Store on iTunes or the Google Play store, lets young people choose options to construct a unique, step-by-step plan for approaching a friend they are worried about. The app provides a range of things young people

can say to their friend, and where and when they can say it, along with tips from other young people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached out to a friend. Users are also able to review how their planned conversation went, set reminders to follow up with their friend, and access ideas about what to do next, particularly if things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go well. Beyondblue acting chief executive officer Dr Brian Graetz said young people often avoid asking friends if they are going through a difficult time

because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say the wrong thing or make the situation worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Check-in App is designed to take the fear out of talking to a friend about why they seem down or stressed, or have stopped doing things that they usually enjoy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research shows that one in four young people aged 16 to 24 will experience a mental illness, but only a quarter of those will seek support from a health professional.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is worrying, as suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians, and each year accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents.â&#x20AC;? Beyondblue youth Ambassador Bronwyn Collins, 25, said being approached by a friend when you are struggling can also be a powerful source of hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have depression or anxiety it often feels like you are alone, but for someone to ask how you are, is a reminder that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone and you are worth something to someone,â&#x20AC;? she said.

To repair or replace? TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS

p. 5261 2888 m. 0439 070 571 torquaycomputers.com.au

IF YOUR computer is running slowly or giving you problems, a valid question is: should you repair it, or replace it with something new? As the price of a new computer has fallen quite a bit over the last few years, is it good value for money to repair? It really depends on what the problem is to answer this properly. Is it virus and spyware related? Is it just too old? Are there hardware malfunctions that are causing problems? Even simple things like dust build-up inside can cause the computer to overheat and thus run slowly. If it is hardware or age related (age of computer, not the operator!) then you have the option of upgrading the parts inside or just buying a new tower. The problem here is that the upgrades cascade

into a new system anyway. A new CPU (main brain of computer) needs a new motherboard, which needs new RAM (memory), which then needs a new operating system etc. The only thing you will be left with of the original computer is the metal case, which is only about $50 to buy anyway. If you do buy new, then there are also a lot of hidden costs to take into consideration, such as new operating system and also upgrading your software such as QuickBooks or MYOB to the latest version. Even some printers and older hardware won’t function with the new operating system. Another hidden cost is cleaning your old system for viruses before you load them onto the new system. To repair your old system is sometimes as simple as cleaning the system of viruses or adding some RAM and it will run good as new: no new system to learn, no software upgrade required.

Seagulls can’t stop surging Coutas BY JAMES TAYLOR

Brad Ottens has the jump on his opponents at this bounce. Photos: TOMMY RITCHIE

BARWON Heads were overrun by a surging Queenscliff in round 12 of the BFL, despite a best on ground performance from Geelong premiership ruckman Brad Ottens. In a seesawing game, the Seagulls were up by 23 points at the first break, held scoreless as the Coutas jumped to an eight-point lead at half time, wrestled back a six-point lead by three-quarter time, but kicked only one point in the last quarter as the visitors went on to win by 14 points. The Coutas are making a late charge this year, and sit sixth only on percentage. Fellow Geelong premiership player Max Rooke had a good day for Ocean Grove, kicking three goals in his side’s narrow two-point loss to Torquay. Shane Jack also kicked three for the Grubbers. Drysdale fought off a determined Modewarre, which trailed by only nine points at half time, to keep the home side scoreless in the third quarter

Drysdale at home, with Sarah Gunning dominating the midcourt to take out the three votes. Modda still sit just outside the top four, and will take on Anglesea next week in what should be a great, physical hit out. The Roos put up an almighty fight against unbeaten ladder leaders Geelong Amateur, with some amazing defensive efforts from Tess Rice, but the Ammos were able to maintain an early 7-goal lead to run the game out 36-29. The Ammos’ experience got them over the line with captain Ashlea Salter leading the charge down the court and receiving a best on court nod. The Ammos face Queenscliff next week at home. Coming off two straight losses from the top two teams, Portarlington made short work of Newcomb with a 75-15 thrashing. The Demons’ Candice Bull scored a whopping 48 goals and took out the three votes, while the Power’s Katrina Degoldi was best on court for her team.

Tom Limb takes possession in space for the Coutas.

COPPARDS ROAD

MORE wild weather conditions made life tough for goalers but couldn’t slow down the tempo as Queenscliff pulled off a heartstopping one-goal win over Barwon Heads. The Coutas’ Tess Upstill, who has played most of the season in defence, shot at 85 per cent to snatch the game from the Seagulls and was awarded best on court for her efforts. The win is just the third for Queenscliff, while Barwon Heads will rue a missed opportunity. The reigning premiers, Torquay, had a clinical 10goal win over Ocean Grove at Shell Reserve, with the Tigers players applying pressure all over the court and finishing with flair. The Grubbers goalers Alexandra Lee and Laura Bell showed a lot of promise in a losing side, both shooting above 80 per cent and receiving three and two votes respectively. Ocean Grove now sit in sixth position on the ladder, just behind Modewarre. The Warriors cruised to an easy 47-35 win over

and eventually win by 44 points. Steven Brown kicked three goals for the Hawks. Portarlington recorded their second win of the season against fellow cellar dwellers Newcomb, Dylan Weir bagging eight goals in the 122-point thumping. The Power’s Scott Grant kicked three goals. Geelong Amateur remains undefeated, smashing Anglesea by 137 points to boost their percentage towards 300. Damien Zaparenkov (seven goals) and Riley Mattner (six) kicked half of the Ammos’ 26 goals between them. For full results for all grades, head to aflbarwon. com.au.

BEGINNER anglers and their families can catch a new hobby over the school holidays with about 30,000 catchable size rainbow trout stocked into inland waters across the state. The state government recognises the social and economic contribution recreational fishing makes to our state and they want to encourage more families and children to get involved in this healthy outdoor pastime. Rainbow trout are a good option for children or those people new to fishing because they were relatively easy to catch and take a variety of baits and lures. Rainbow trout stocked by Fisheries Victoria are of catchable size so in these school holidays, those heading out to fish will have a better chance of landing their first “big catch”. For a full list of waters stocked with rainbow trout these school holidays, visit depi.vic.gov.au/holidaytrout. On the local fishing front, conditions have been pretty ordinary and good reports few and far between (see reports left). MEANWHILE, a working group is likely to be established with Surf Coast Shire, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, VRFISH and the Anglesea River Support Action Group (ARSAG) to address the issues facing the Anglesea River. Watch this space. Photos I would like to remind readers that if you have some real catches you want to send in, please forward them to the email address below, with type of fish, weight, length, location and your name. I am more than happy to place your photos in My Big Catch or online. Email your photos to mybigcatch@bigpond.com.

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

FROM THE GOLF SHOP

LAST week I wrote that winter was finally here but we didn’t expect it to come crashing down on us as it did over the weekend. We recorded 50mm of rain over the week not to mention the fierce wind experienced early in the week. You had to be a very keen golf nut to have played over the weekend. Wednesday, the men played Par. A Grade: Brent McDonald +3, B Grade and best score of the day John McGibbony +4, C Grade Lloyd Fletcher +2 and Seniors Alex Sutherland +1. NTPs: 3rd Nigel Forsyth, 6th John Balderstone and Geoff Lewtas scoring a double with NTPs on both 13 and jackpot hole 16. Thursday, the women played in age divisions: Under 60 Suellen Eskrigge -1, 60-69 Sue Britnell -4 on a count back and Over 70 Jenny Jaensch -5 on acount back. NTPs: 6th Sue Bowler, 13th Valda Connelly and 16th Barb Cook. Over the weekend, only 74 brave souls were hardy (read insane) enough to play in horrendous conditions. Saturday was a 4BBB Par day with 68 players going out on course. The men’s winners were a pair of John’s, John Balderstone and John McGibbony posted a great score given the conditions with +10 and the women weren’t far behind Ella Coleman and Sue Britnell +7.

NTPs were split evenly among the men and women: 3rd Brad Eskrigge, 6th Ann Stokes, 13th Valda Connelly and Jackpot Hole 16th Uwe Morzinek. Congratulations to Sam Smart for winning the final of the Chas Gibbs Trophy on Sunday defeating Phil Warne in a closely contested match 1 up. Now for the extremely keen golfers’ results, a field of six, that’s right, six, Anglesea members pitted themselves against the elements! A stableford event with Miller Gelic winning the men’s with 35 points and Vida Brenner winning the women’s with 28 points. Good Golfing.

Sunday June 22, in the third round of the Loader Trophy, Bernard Convery and Ainsley McCallum teamed well scoring 50 points, six ahead of their nearest rivals. The 4th and final round is on July 6. In the individual stableford, Ken Isaac shot 43 points to win. NTPs Karen Bourke, Clive Smith and Peter Orwin. Daniel Twentyman with the last shot of the day took out the jackpot. Tuesday, despite the blustery wet conditions, 22 ladies felt the need to head out onto the course; after all it was the Community Services Day, a day in which the ladies hold stalls and raffles with all the money raised going to local charities in Torquay. Although many did not play it turned into another very successful venture, with everything from pot plants, books to biscuits selling out quickly. Thankyou to all the members that donated items to sell and to the many ladies and men that helped on the day, especially to our ladies committee who once again played a huge part in the organisation. For the team that came from Ballarat, congratulations on taking out the Irish 4BBB Stableford, they used their grit and determination pushing through the wind and rain to finish 1st in the nine hole revised event finishing with 53 points. The team consisting of Angela Widdison, Brenda Ryan, Carmel Bayly and Jill Dunne won by four shots from the Torquay team and headed home happy with their efforts. Wednesday, Dennis Abbey shot 37 points to win

A Grade. B Grade winner Greg Touzel had 40 points and for C Grade Ado Currie finished with 38 points. Ian Colwell playing in the Resort course competition won with an outstanding score of 46 points. We can see just how much he is enjoying his golf off the green markers. NTPs Geoff Drury, Wayne Tozer, Barry Hewitt and Ross Martin. Ray Gogoll hit the jackpot. Friday, Paul Brunt headed out early to post the leading score for A Grade with +2 and for B Grade Henry Kelly found some form shooting a round of +4. Kerry Castleman hit -1 in the wild and windy weather conditions and finished 1st for the ladies. Tom Lock had square to lead the way for the Resort competition. NTPs Paul Brunt, Joe Magliano and Deb Shoesmith. Ken Allen hit the 17th to win the jackpot. Saturday, Rod Papworth took out A Grade with 43 points. President Greg Libbis shot 42 points to win B Grade. Ian Chapple had 40 points taking out the honours for C Grade. Deb Shoesmith won the ladies battling it out for just 31 points and taking out the Resort competition was Fred Pyke with 35 points. NTPs Tim Sinnot, Simon O’Brien, Paul Walters, Dave McPhail, Inge Oliver and Sue Booth. Barry Hewitt with a close shot hit the jackpot. Sunday Damien Grigg (Kooringal GC) took out 1st place with 36 points against only 13 other competitors in the cold wet conditions. NTP Daniel Twentyman and hitting the jackpot Barry Grigg.

THE SANDS TORQUAY MEN Wednesday Stableford: The day was not shaping so well with the wind and the rain playing havoc but more than half of the original field braved the conditions. It was also a max points day for the Winter Classic so there was a lot on the line. Emerging victorious by way of a count back, was Richard Hammett with 35 points. Runner up was the steady Ray Hocking. NTP honours both went to Milton Tattersall who was clearly locked in on both the 7th and 17th. Saturday Stableford: Saturday saw decent conditions in the morning but they quickly turned frightful as we reached midday. It took a special effort to score well out there, but a few did just that. In A Grade, we saw Phil Eltringham earn a one point win with 38 points. Runner-up was Louis McFadden. In B Grade it was Pieter Egberts scoring 34 points, just enough to get past runner-up Bruce Hay with 33. NTP honours went to Michael McAllum on the 7th, Gavin Sheahan on the 13th and Jason Draper on the 17th.

FROM THE MEMBERS’ ROOM was Marg Hales, scoring 30 points. Runner-up was Sarah Tokolyi. NTP on the 5th went to Linda Turner.

MEDLEY Sunday Par Medley: Absolutely appalling conditions for the Sunday medley with a lot of rain overnight it continued through to the morning but we had 9 front up for the comp but not all finished. Mike Griffiths was the best of those who completed, scoring a very solid -2. Runner-up was Colin Chinn.

COMING EVENTS Thursday July 3 – Stroke Medal Saturday July 5 – 4BBB Stableford 7:30 Shotgun Start Sunday July 6 – Par

LADIES Saturday Stableford: As mentioned above, the conditions were miles from ideal, but the ladies stuck it out anyway. Our winner in a count back 2 Sands Boulevarde, Torquay Clubhouse: 5264 3333 Pro Shop: 5264 3307

WITH ROB CASEY

Thursday June 26, Men’s and Ladies’ Stableford Our winners in the 18 hole men’s event were Brian King on 41 points from Chris Fenner on 37, while Susan Plummer took the ladies with her 29 points. Alan McNair was the best of our 11-hole players with his excellent 20 points. Rob Stiglbauer won the pinshot on the 17th.

Saturday June 28, Men’s and Ladies’ Stableford

The second of the three round 4BBB Par aggregate was played in difficult conditions, with Carmel Scarff and Judy Fox reigning supreme with their excellent 6 up to finish 2 ahead of 3 pairs, they being Maureen Walsh and Alison Kennedy, Val Tither and Jeanette Barclay, and Angela Royal and Emma Zahl. Carmel and Judy now lead the overall by a shot from Emma and Angela, and Val and Jeanette. NTPs went to Shirley Bergin and Emma Zahl, while Val Tither and Kathleen Howes won the ProPins.

A very high DSR of 74 said it all as 160 players took on the course and the conditions. Rob Green revelled in the difficult conditions to card an outstanding 40 points to win Trophy of the Day, NTP on the 17th and A Grade from Josh Kent on 37. Andre Cook also did very well to win B Grade with his 39 points from Leigh Wilson’s 37, and Alex Hirst was a bit stiff to also get 40 points but be pipped on a count back by Rob, but win C Grade by a shot from Ian Flanders. D Grade winner was Rod Allen with 34 on a count back from Brendan Rice. Other NTPs went to Rob Perry and Bob Stoward, and the ProPin cash went to Mick Kotwic. Ladies winner was Sandy Issell with a well put together 37 points, to just pip the effervescent Barbie Schwarz by a shot. NTPs went to Jacqui Vietri and Kay Williams, and Jenny Pearson continues to be the ProPin specialist.

With horrific conditions prevailing, only a small number of diehards took to the course, with only the Kent brothers, Josh and Heath completing 18 holes – well done boys, you deserved the prizes. Cliff McCorkell and Heath also won the pinshots.
