Television transmission now digital only in Ocean Grove

SWITCHED ON BY TIFFANY PILCHER

RESIDENTS in Ocean Grove who have battled with poor television reception for decades can see clearly now as the broadcast tower servicing the area switched to digital transmission this month. Barwon Heads, Drysdale, Portarlington and some areas of Geelong will also enjoy better reception as a result of the switch. Work to upgrade the Montpellier broadcast tower, which was established 10 years ago to address the blackspot issues in the area, was completed on July 10. Analog televisions connected in

the area without set top boxes will now no longer be receiving reception. “As part of the federal government’s nationwide plan to switch analogue TV signals to digital the transmission service from Montpellier has also been converted to a digital only service,” Kildare ward councillor Stretch Kontelj said. “The Digital Switchover Taskforce is in place to assist with inquiries and have established a website tool to help people discover the specific arrangements for their location.” The new digital signal is expected to be much stronger than the previous analogue signal at Montpellier.

Adrian Waite from Torquay-based Austech Antennas said while the signal has improved, people will most likely need to upgrade or adjust their current antennas to receive full reception. “There was fairly bad reception at the bottom of Ocean Grove before and this should really help with that. People may need to upgrade or realign their current antennas and everyone will need to retune their televisions to receive the right channels and the new digital channels.” As part of the upgrade, the Highton transmission facilities are being upgraded to cover a wider area. This means that some people in the area with poor digital

television reception may be able to improve their reception by having their antenna pointed towards the upgraded Highton site. People who currently have good digital reception do not need to do anything. Nerida O’Loughlin, head of the Digital Switchover Taskforce, said assistance is available for eligible households if they have found themselves without television reception since the switchover. “For households in and around Geelong that require practical assistance to make the switch, such as the elderly, people with disabilities and their carers, the Household Assistance Scheme is also

available,” Ms O’Loughlin said. Those eligible for the scheme should have received a letter inviting them to optin for assistance. The scheme provides a free package of assistance to eligible households, including the supply and installation of a set top box, a demonstration of how to use the equipment, after care support, equipment warranty and where necessary, antenna and cable upgrades if the resident owns their home.

BARWON COAST UPDATE BARWON Coast has the responsibility for the management of 13 kilometres of coastal Crown land from Collendina to Blue Rocks including our beautiful beaches in Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and 13th Beach. We are also the manager of the Port of Barwon Heads and operate two large coastal caravan parks – Barwon Heads Caravan Park and the Riverview Family Caravan Park, Ocean Grove – plus the Riverside Camping area.

Change in committee members Our committee members are appointed for a three year term and three members’ terms expired on June 30. Two of our current members did not apply for re-appointment noting that long serving member Tim Goddard has recently moved away to Broome. We also thank Paul Williamson for his input during his term as a Committee member. Our committee chair Mark Edmonds was reappointed by the Minister for Environment and Climate Change as Chair for a further three years and three new members were appointed being Kerry Petty from Ocean Grove, Sandra Gatehouse from Barwon Heads and Tony Overman from Moriac. The new members join continuing members Danny Keating, John Lesser and Ron Patterson of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads resident Mark Rodrigue

Rubbish dumping As reported in previous articles, we are continuing to experience an increase in illegal dumping of rubbish along the coastal dunes both in car

parks and along the roadside. Apart from the obvious desecration of the coastal environment, our staff are diverted from their natural resource management tasks to clean up the mess. In the past week, we have had instances of over 20 dozen stubbies dumped and partially smashed on the Ocean Grove Spit and the dumping of five mattresses at the main amenity block also on the Ocean Grove Spit. In addition, to that our staff discovered a “cubbie” that had been built within the vegetated coastal dunes south of Orton Street Ocean Grove. Not only had a selection of building materials, chairs and road signs been dragged into the dunes but the vegetation had also been cut down. The local Police have been made aware of all these issued and are endeavouring to catch the perpetrators.

needs of people in wheelchairs. Shade sales and a shelter will provide protection during summer for all users and work is anticipated to commence in August with an early November completion date. During the construction phase the existing playground will be closed down and the site fenced off. The project will probably cost around $250,000 and will be partially funded by a contribution from the Barwon River Parklands project managed by Parks Victoria on behalf of a range of agencies with responsibilities along the river from the Ring Road to the river mouth. The existing amenity block will be upgraded at the same time as the playground works. Please contact me to discuss any issues related to coastal management in our region by phoning me on 5254 1118.

Partnership takes roost in Drysdale BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE Drysdale Hawks hope to build on their good football form with support from one of their major sponsors. The club hosted two representatives from the Bayview on the Bellarine estate at a function at the Drysdale Recreation Reserve on Thursday. Bayview on the Bellarine development manager Paul Cicchiello said the ongoing collaboration was an opportunity for the estate to show its support of the Bellarine community. “This is a great opportunity for Bayview on the Bellarine to get more involved in the local

community, and what better way than through the local footy club? “With our estate located on Jetty Road just minutes from the Hawks home ground, we’re not just about building a housing estate, we’re about creating a community for everyone to enjoy – and we see the Drysdale Football Club is already an important part of this community. “As we continue to strengthen our rapport with the Hawks, we hope Bayview on the Bellarine becomes another fixture on the Bellarine Peninsula and is seen as an easy choice for people to make when looking for a new place to call home.� Drysdale president Greg Collier said the

affiliation was exciting news. “It’s a great opportunity to strengthen our partnership and work together for mutual benefit. It is great to have Bayview with us for what is shaping up to be a successful season and we look forward to seeing the growth of the Bayview estate.� Bayview on the Bellarine has recently started construction of stage three. More than 80 per cent of stage two has been sold and a new shopping complex is in the pipeline. The Hawks are also supporting the efforts to raise funds for injured footballer Casey Tutungi, with senior contracted players donating a week’s match payment and the reserves donating $2 for a goal and $1 for a point.

Framework for Grove’s growth BY ALI DEANE IN LIGHT of recent announcements for residential zone growth in Ocean Grove, concerns have been raised over the town’s ability to adequately service increased population numbers. In a letter to the editor (see page 16), Ocean Grove residents Mr and Mrs Berry criticised parking at both shopping areas in the town, labelling it as “inadequate at any time and horrendous over summer holidays�, and also pointed out the lack of a decent and frequent bus service. City of Greater Geelong (COGG) councillor Jan Farrell, who represents the Beangala ward, which covers Ocean Grove, said Ocean Grove is recognised as a growth area due to its wide range of services and ability to accommodate a large population. “To ensure that the impacts of growth are managed, particularly in and around the town centre, council is preparing an Urban Design Framework to unlock its potential and ready the town centre for the growth and change that will occur,� Cr Farrell said. “The Urban Design Framework will review existing traffic and parking conditions and make recommendations on any potential improvements.� “An Enquiry by Design forum was held on April 29 and 30, which provided the basis of a concept plan for the town centre, and this is now being further developed and refined.� Council will come back to the community with a draft Urban Design Framework for further consultation and input in September. A planning permit issued in June 2012 allows for a redevelopment at Market Place shopping centre to enable an increase in floor area for Woolworths and specialty shops as well as office space. Cr Farrell said the layout of the car park will be altered to increase car parking accordingly.

Corio and the Cross of the Solomons TRADE Minister and Member for Corio Richard Marles has been awarded the Cross of Solomon Islands, a highly prestigious award given by Solomon Islands government. The award was presented to Mr Marles by the Governor-General of Solomon Islands H. E. Sir Frank Kabui during Mr Marles’ first visit to the Islands in his new capacity as Trade Minister.

for Pacific Island Affairs, said Solomon Islands has long been “a place I hold close to my heart and I am deeply humbled by the award - it is a great honour�. Mr Marles said he accepted the award “on behalf of all the Australians, including the service men and women and public servants, who over the last decade have worked so hard to support our friends in Solomon Islands and have seen it become a country which provides leadership in the Pacific.�

Heads up! Local MasterChef Thursday BY ALI DEANE MASTERCHEF returns to the Bellarine Peninsula this week with a special event to celebrate the airing of the episode that puts the spotlight on our region. This Thursday, At The Heads will host a special viewing of the episode on big screens, complemented by live music, local wine tastings, two-course dinner, drinks and canapĂŠs. MasterChef contestants undertook a MasterClass at the picturesque Barwon Heads restaurant in May

with guest chef Aaron Turner, with filming taking place at At The Heads, on the beach and many local producers also feature. Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos said he was delighted that Barwon Heads would feature on the show. “Located just an hour from Melbourne, Barwon Heads and the wider Bellarine Peninsula – which is surrounded by Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Straight – is known for its outstanding cool climate wines, farmgates and premium dining offering with seafood

being a local specialty,� Mr Katos said. Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher said with its proximity to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, idyllic coastal location and highquality food and wine experiences, the Bellarine Peninsula has long been a favourite with visitors and was a natural choice to be profiled on MasterChef. “The MasterChef format is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the diversity of food and wine offerings both within Melbourne and in regional Victoria, particularly the exceptional regional produce, local

wines and renowned hospitality offering which is a major drawcard for visitors,â€? Ms Asher said. “Showcasing Victoria’s culinary credentials and significant attractions on shows such as MasterChef is a great enticement for people to visit Victoria.â€? Bookings for the special MasterChef viewing dinner on Thursday July 25 are available from 6pm. The two course dinner is $45 per head and includes a complimentary drink and canapĂŠs. MasterChef will be on the big screens at 7pm. Phone At The Heads on 5254 1277.

Community rallies together for Casey BY ALI DEANE COMMUNITY spirit was high in Barwon Heads on Saturday night when over 250 people rallied together to not only celebrate two special anniversaries at the football club, but also raise over $31,000 in an auction for seriously injured South Barwon player Casey Tutungi. Tutungi, 27, was diagnosed as a quadriplegic recently after suffering a neck injury during the Geelong Football League match between South Barwon and St Josephs last month. Christian Bartley of Bellarine Property, the man behind the auction, said Casey’s story had moved so many people, evident in the “seriously phenomenal� result on the night, which had been planned less than 48 hours before. “Casey was just a kid playing footy. You can’t help but feel for him and his family, and I couldn’t help but

want to help.� Mr Bartley extended invitations out to his businesses client database on Thursday, and bids came in within 20 minutes, including two $2,500 pledged donations from Le Maistre Builders and Riverwalk land developers. The main item, a 2009 fully signed Adam Gilchrist bat, was handed back five times for auction before it was sold, and combined with a raffle, donations and other items, $31, 657 was raised for the Casey Tutungi Future Fund. “Everyone was cheering, people dug deep and it was so awesome to be part of the community spirit; the ability to contact people, and touch people,� Mr Bartley said. People across the Bellarine, Geelong and Tutungi’s home town of Lorne have shown overwhelming support for the family, with businesses across Lorne this weekend dedicating a weekend of

shopping and events to the fund. Lorne ward councillor Clive Goldsworthy said the working group had been inundated with offers of help. “It just highlights the overwhelming feelings, Casey was very well known and he touched a lot of people. He is going to need ongoing support, and he’ll get that, and not just as a once off.� Tutungi started his football career at Lorne Football Club, going on to play 41 games for the Cats VFL side and was a star player and co-coach for South Barwon. This weekend will see the Coming Together for Casey Round– a dedicated round of football and netball across the Geelong region and the state to raise money for him. Many more events are planned for the region, to find out more, and how you can help the family, head to caseytutungi. com or email ct.familyoffice@gmail. com

Friendly to promote inclusivity BY ALI DEANE FRESH from their win in the under 14s Grand Final the Torquay Swisharoos challenged some of the best in a friendly game at Surf Coast Sport and Recreation Centre last week to promote the message of inclusivity – gender and sexual equity. Last season Swisharoos players took a stand and began wearing rainbow Fair go, sport! socks. To celebrate the official launch of the Fair go, sport! partnership with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, Sport and Recreation Victoria and VicHealth, Basketball Victoria organised players from Geelong’s Big V, Supercats and Corio Bay Stingrays for the exciting exhibition game. The program is designed to make basketball more inclusive and welcoming for members of the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) community, promoting gender and sexual diversity in clubs across Victoria. The Swisharoos decided to support the initiative following IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia) in May, as they believed basketball should be a “safe sport where everyone can play and where no one would get bullied”. Basketball Victoria chief officer Nick Honey said the Fair go, sport! project is very important and will allow clubs across Victoria to evaluate their practices and see what they can be doing to make basketball a more welcoming and inclusive sport for gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender and intersex people. “The boys from the Swisharoos have sent a clear message by wearing the rainbow socks, that unfair treatment of others based on their sexuality – or assumed sexuality – has no place in our sport,” Mr Honey said. He is eager to develop initiatives and resources to engage and educate basketball clubs, officials,

managers, board members, coaches, players and spectators at the local and state level. Acting commissioner Karen Toohey said it was fantastic to see so many clubs getting behind Fair go, sport!, doing what they can to send a strong message that there is no place for gender inequity or homophobia in sport. “Through creating a supportive and welcoming environment, Basketball Victoria has put out the welcome mat to all players. “Everyone, regardless of who they are, can feel safe enough to participate in sport without facing discrimination,” Ms Toohey said.

TORQUAY College enjoyed a cultural adventure last week as they hosted students and teachers from their sister school in China. The 42 students and seven teachers from Dong Feng Dong Primary School in the city of Guang Zhou stayed with local families as part of the Children’s International Summer Villages (CISV) program. Grade six pupil Hunter Supple went on exchange to India through the program earlier this year and hosted two students during their week-long stay. “I’ve liked getting to know them, it’s been

really great and really fun,” he said. Torquay College principal Pam Kinsman said the experience has been beneficial for the local and visiting children and said exposure to other cultures is vital to their development. “Everyone has had a fantastic time and learned so much, Torquay is a very multicultural place and it’s very important for our students to be aware of and appreciate other cultures. We are heavily involved in the program because it encourages friendship and intercultural understanding.” The exchange students joined Torquay College students for a camping trip to Anglesea over the weekend and spent time exploring the Bellarine Peninsula before heading home on Tuesday.

The future is fun, Asher says BY JAMES TAYLOR STEPHANIE Asher has revealed part of her plan for “big fun” in the Geelong region at a meeting in Torquay last week. The Ocean Grove-based communications consultant and 2012 Geelong mayoral candidate spoke at the Rotary Club of Torquay meeting about her business experiences and ways to grow membership. She said organisations such as Rotary that were looking to renew their member base should start with extensive research to “know where you are right now”, and then take the same measurements at designated points in time. “Work out what the club’s all about and what it could be about.

“The challenge facing you is managing the change and how you go about it, and the same goes for Geelong.” At the meeting, held at the Lions Village, Ms Asher said her plan for the region was yet to be fully formed but she was “exploring a few ideas by stealth”. These include stimulating positive, private investment opportunities, such as an internationalcalibre theme park facing Corio Bay. “Part of my vision is that we need to talk about ‘big fun’,” she said. “The park just makes such common sense, particularly when you have Ford about to exit. “There could perhaps be a movie studio or a production house; that’s been talked about. “The idea is when people come to Geelong,

there’s more than one thing to do.” She said her ideas were not revolutionary. “Most of these have already been proposed separately. “I’ve spoken with a number of Geelong power makers, and no-one’s been surprised or derisive.” She also suggested Portarlington could become a hub for water taxis, as well as expanding into aquaculture, the fresh food trade and sustainable tourism. Rotary Club of Torquay director of club service Maggie Isom thanked Ms Asher for her talk. “We do need to think outside the square – Generation Y do things completely different to us Stephanie Asher with Rotary Club of Torquay president and that’s where we need to focus if we’re going to Janette Crowther and director of club service Maggie Isom.

No monkeying around in this job BY JAMES TAYLOR

Kathy Scanlon with Motaba, one of the silverback gorillas at Werribee Open Range Zoo.

TORQUAY resident Kathy Scanlon originally wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up. In the end, she went with her second choice – a zoo keeper or park ranger – and is now in charge of one of the largest gorilla exhibits in the world. Ms Scanlon has been working at Werribee Open Range Zoo for 15 years, where she looks after silverback gorilla Motaba; his two sons, Yakini and Ganyeka and their 6,000 square metre home. Her path to becoming a zoo keeper began with studying natural resource management at TAFE, followed by trade qualifications in the profession. Ms Scanlon said she originally worked at Melbourne Zoo before moving to Werribee Open Range Zoo. “I have a broad skill set and I’ve worked with a lot of different animals, including carnivores, reptiles, primates and native mammals, but as soon as I heard

about the new gorilla exhibit coming to Werribee Open Range Zoo (which opened in 2011), I knew that’s what I wanted to specialise in.” She said it was her dream job and could not imagine doing anything else. “The best thing about it is that I get to work so closely with amazing animals and a wonderful team of like-minded people who are committed to conservation and sharing that knowledge with visitors.” She ranked secateurs as the one tool of the trade she could not do without. “I use them all the time for chopping up vegetables or branches for the gorillas and fire hoses, which we use in their exhibit for enrichment and play.” Ms Scanlon suggested anyone looking to break into zoo keeping should make sure they put in the hard work at the start and get volunteer experience. “Keep positive and persevere because you’ll get there in the end.”

Plan looks to improve riverside precinct A PLANNING study to reshape the streetscape in Anglesea along the riverside precinct has been placed on public exhibition. Surf Coast Shire is inviting submissions to the study, and held two drop-in information sessions at the Anglesea Senior Citizens’ Centre last week. The Anglesea Great Ocean Road study affects land fronting the Great Ocean Road opposite the riverbank, between Noble Street and the Four Kings precinct. It includes a streetscape master plan that features improvements to public facilities and amenities in the riverside area and central shopping centre. The study also looks at land use in the area, with a view to increasing housing diversity through medium density development and shop top apartments, ensuring land zoning supports the tourism and local activity focus of the area, while maintaining the main shopping centre’s role as the retail centre. Surf Coast Shire says the urban design measures in the study will encourage development that preserves Anglesea’s coastal village character, maximises views, displays high quality contemporary design that fits into its surroundings, provides interest from the street and environmental sustainability. The study builds on the recently completed Anglesea Structure Plan, which looks at future land use throughout the whole of the town. The document is available from the council’s website or its Torquay office. Public submissions into the Anglesea Great Ocean Road Study close on August 2. They can be emailed to info@surfcoast.vic. gov.au or posted to Strategic Planning c/o Surf Coast Shire, PO Box 350, Torquay 3228.

Think, eat and save to help the environment

BY JAMES TAYLOR

BARWON Coast has encouraged people to do more with less and change the way they consume food to help the environment. The committee, which manages 13 kilometres of coastline on the Bellarine Peninsula, has supported the Think-Eat-Save initiative promoted by the United Nations environment program as part of World Environment Day. Think-Eat-Save aims to reduce the estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted every year. Maddie Glynn, from Barwon Coast, said food

choices could have environmental impacts. “The production and packaging of food uses water, energy and chemicals which all lead to biodiversity loss through land clearing, pollution and over exploitation. “The more waste, the more we increase farming activity to feed everybody. “All the resources and inputs used in the production of food are lost when food is wasted. “This leads to the wasteful use of fertilizers, pesticides, more fuel for transportation of products, and more rotting food creating methane – one of the most harmful greenhouse gases contributing to

climate change.” She said food scraps and their wrappers left within coastal reserves were problematic for the natural environment. “Changing our ways requires us to become innovative and create solutions on the way we use and dispose of products. “Changing our lifestyles and making informed decisions will lead to a healthier environment for both humans and wildlife.” World Environment Day was marked internationally on June 5.

Children cotton on to new Torquay store BY JAMES TAYLOR COTTON On has celebrated expanding its presence in its home town with the opening of dedicated children’s stores in the Surf Coast and Geelong at the weekend. The Cotton On Kids stores in Torquay Central and Market Square launched on Saturday with familyfriendly activities including face painting, balloon sculpting and photo booths. The stand-alone stores were established in 2005 and are a spin-off of parent brand Cotton On, which opened its first store in Geelong in 1991. This is the first time Cotton On Kids has had a store in Geelong and general manager Natalie McLean said she was thrilled to be paying homage to the town where Cotton On began. “It’s so exciting for us to be opening Cotton On Kids stores in our home town. We have so many great friends and supporters in the community and we can’t wait to have some fun with the kids now, too.” The Cotton On Kids store is located separately to Torquay Central’s existing Cotton On store, which is in the western half of the shopping centre and may have to relocate if Coles’ plans to build a supermarket in the centre come to fruition.

Cotton On Kids also supports the Cotton On Foundation and plans to give back to the community through the foundation’s local initiatives. The brand has expanded rapidly over the past nine

years and is now in a growth period, with more than 180 stores open globally and another 31 set to launch this year. Head to cottonon.com for more information.

Byron falls in with Marion and Louttit BY HAMISH BROOKS

A sketch of the soon-to-beinstalled Paddle Steamer sculpture at Adrian Mannix Reserve, Clifton Springs by local artist Viktor Ceberg.

New park ark for Clifton Springs BY ALI DEANE COASTAL reserves in Clifton Springs will soon be even more popular as they will become home to two special sculptures thanks to City of Greater Geelong Public Art Strategy and funding. Local wood sculptor Viktor Ceberg’s Paddle Steamer will be installed in the coming months at Adrian Mannix Reserve, and the council is working with community groups and associations in developing the design of a sculpture proposed for Beacon Point Reserve. Council’s Public Art Strategy recognises the important role that art plays in creating public places, telling local stories and expressing civic pride – both projects have a budget of $20,000. Coryule ward Cr Lindsay Ellis said the sculptures would add an extra point of interest to the two popular coastal reserves. “These are well used reserves and the sculptures will help to add a new sense of life and local pride to the area,” Cr Ellis said. “I am looking forward to seeing the Paddle Steamer sculpture installed this year – it is really going to be something special.”

Made from recycled Ironbark timber and painted steel plate, Ceberg’s design celebrates the history of the paddle steamer industry that operated from Corio Bay and the Bellarine Peninsula. A small steamer, The Kangaroo, visited the now derelict pier at Clifton Springs in the late 1800s, bringing tourists to the mineral springs and the magnificent coastline. Paddle Steamer has been developed over several years in consultation with the local community members, and will be comprised of abstracted elements which reflect on experiences of watching, waiting for and riding on the paddle steamers. Cr Ellis said the council was looking forward to working with various community groups and associations in developing the design of the second installation. “I have no doubt the Beacon Point Reserve sculpture will be a fantastic installation; something the whole community can be proud of.” Local groups such as the Friends of Beacon Point Reserve, the Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association and the Springdale Neighbourhood House community will be invited to discuss options for the sculpture in the coming months.

THE Falls Music and Arts Festival has sprouted yet another location with the announcement last week that the event will also be held in Byron Bay. The festival will be held in the coastal NSW town over the New Year period alongside the original festival in Lorne and the established sister event in Tasmania’s Marion Bay. As Byron Bay is a well known hotspot for alcohol related violence over the holiday, organisers are hoping the festival will curb the anti-social behaviour in the same way it did when it began in Lorne over two decades ago. Lorne Falls co-producer Jessica Decrou said the

Byron Shire council approached them about holding the festival there for New Year’s celebrations. “I guess part of the reason it was so appealing for them is that our sister festival Splendour in the Grass is held in the North Byron Parklands.” Where the Lorne event begins on December 28 and the Marion Bay event begins on December 29, The Falls Festival in Byron Bay will begin on New Year’s Eve and continue until January 3. “Technically people could go to the Lorne or Marion Bay Events and then fly up to Byron on New Year’s Day for the remainder of that festival.” Information on the Falls Music and Arts Festival 2013 will be announced over the coming weeks.

LOCAL engineering students have spent the past two months designing and constructing a prototype they plan to enter in the Australian Defence Force Autonomous Ground Vehicle Challenge at Deakin University later this year. The average cost to build a robot is around $10,000 due to the nanosensors and materials. Ryan’s IGA were the first to get behind the project, donating $500 from the community rewards program, and now Alexander Baeck, Hayden Reed (right), Sam Jones and Marc Hewitt (left) are hoping others can help. Last week the students visited Ryan’s IGA Torquay to thank them and show off their prototype, “Robert” (pictured). Manager Noreen Cormack congratulates Alexander and his team on their efforts with Dennis Waterfall. If you can help the team, contact Alexander on abaeck@deakin.edu.au.

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy. On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system. Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value. All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services. GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

Concentrate on the road, not the phone BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has issued a challenge to regional Victorians to resist the temptation of using their phones while driving. The challenge comes as the TAC campaign Blind comes back on to TV screens, billboards and online. TAC chief executive officer Janet Dore said the campaign had returned in recognition of the community’s concern about the dangers of distractions such as texting while driving. “The campaign is a strong reminder of the consequences of taking our eyes and our mind off

the complex task of driving. “Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds in a 50 kilometres per hour zone means you would travel 27 metres blind. “I challenge all Victorians to put the phone in the back seat or even in the boot, where you won’t hear it and can’t use it while you drive. “See if it makes a difference and whether you can influence your friends and family to do the same.” Comprehensive studies in the United States have found that 80 per cent of collisions are caused by drivers who are not fully concentrating on driving. The Virginia Tech naturalistic driving studies,

found that dialling a mobile phone while driving made the risk of crash or near-crash event 2.8 times higher than non-distracted driving. It also found that just reaching for an object can increase crash risk by 1.4 times. Ms Dore said technology was also available to help drivers resist temptation, such as the free Road Mode app from VicRoads. “This Android app lets others know that you prefer not to take calls or texts when driving.” To download Road Mode head to vicroads. v i c . g o v. a u / H o m e / M o r e i n f o a n d s e r v i c e s / DigitalAndMobileApplications and for more.

Truck drivers feeling the pressure BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE Transport Workers Union (TWU) says a horror week, in which six people died in six separate truck crashes, is a grim reminder of the lethal pressures in one of Australia’s most dangerous industries. TWU national secretary Tony Sheldon said the industry’s thoughts and prayers were firstly with the families and loved ones of those involved in the accidents. “The full details of the crashes have yet to emerge, and it is crucial that these are fully investigated by the relevant state road authorities, coroners and also by workplace accident investigators, because the roads are a workplace for truck drivers. “One death on our roads is too many, but when hundreds of people are killed in truck crashes each year and thousands more are injured, it highlights the scale of the safety crisis in the trucking industry.” He said truck drivers and transport companies were forced to meet unrealistic demands and impossible deadlines set by major clients every day. “These pressures and demands have made driving a truck the most dangerous job you can do in Australia, with a death rate that is 11 times the industrial average.” He said a survey of drivers in the Coles supply

chain found 40 per cent admitted they had to delay vehicle maintenance because of economic pressures from clients. “More than 20 years of evidence from coroners, cross-party inquiries and independent academic research has shown time and again the link between pay and related conditions for truck drivers and safety on our roads. “Truck drivers just want to do their job and get home safely, but relentless demands from major clients like Coles force drivers to cut corners and push the envelope.” Mr Sheldon said the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal, established by the federal government last year, was a key tool in tackling fatal truck crashes but was under threat as the federal Coalition had promised to review it if it came to power at the election. “Truck drivers share the roads with everyone else and they just want to do their job and get home safely. “The argument from big retailers and some in the Coalition, that pushing a truckie to meet unrealistic demands and impossible deadlines on dangerously low rates of pay doesn’t place lives at risk, fails the test of common sense. “For all those families, workplaces and communities devastated by truck crashes, we must not stop until we have addressed the roots of the crisis.”

Stick around after Sunday BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state government has encouraged people to take Mondays off – but only if they stay on the Great Ocean Road. Last week was the launch of the $195,000 Monday’s the new Sunday campaign, which is being promoted by Tourism Victoria, the interim Great South West Regional Tourism Board and industry partners. The campaign, which will run until October, will present lucrative offers and deals designed to entice potential visitors to take a three-day weekend in the Great Ocean Road region. It will have a strong social media component, including an “instameet”, where social media personalities with a large number of followers

TAXTIME

Talking tax with Sean Joblin IT SEEMS this year is throwing up a few wobblies for many of you – major changes in private health insurance, the end of the Entrepreneurs Tax Offset, the new small business depreciation rule, etcetera. The key to only paying the amount of tax you need to is in your preparation. Ensure you have all your records as organised as possible, don’t be afraid to ask questions and insist on responses in plain English (no one likes, let alone understands, accounting-speak). Don’t feel as though you should know everything; the better prepared you are, the cheaper your visit to the accountant should be. A few tips and things to remember when either preparing your own return or getting the shoebox and spreadsheets ready for the annual visit: • You must have incurred the expense in the year you are claiming it • If the expense has been reimbursed by your employer – don’t claim it (think motor vehicle, mobile phone, internet) • If your claims total more than $300 you need to keep supporting documents • The expenses must be business related (as obvious as this sounds, it is a much abused area). You may need to apportion the business and private component of an expense, for example use of home internet • Driving to and from work is generally not a tax deduction, but if you are a tradie and can prove you have to carry bulky tools then this travel can be a deduction • You can claim compulsory work uniforms, protective clothing and occupational specific clothing but generally not any conventional clothing. This year, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) has written to 216,000 people who are classified as building construction workers as well as sales and marketing managers. It signals that the ATO believe these folk are at a higher risk of making mistakes on their return – read this as “if this is you, make sure you’re legit”. Hope this helps. Email info@sjas.com.au for any questions.

on Instagram – such as Em Rusciano from The Project – will be invited to spend a long weekend on the Great Ocean Road and share their experiences through photography and updates about the region. Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher announced the campaign on Monday last week. “The Great Ocean Road tourism industry already employs about 7,000 people – many of them small business operators – and we want to encourage Victorians to visit and revisit their own backyard and enjoy a short break exploring the hidden wonders from Geelong to Portland.” Premier and South West Coast MP Denis Napthine said the campaign would showcase

the many strengths of the Great Ocean Road region. “In addition to the spectacular beaches and 12 Apostles that make up Victoria’s most famous stretch of coastline, the Great Ocean Road is well known for its picturesque seaside villages, captivating wildlife, scenic hinterland forests, boutique accommodation and a strong food and wine offering.” Polwarth MP Terry Mulder and South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said they welcomed the campaign and the opportunity to boost tourism to the region. For more information, search the hashtags #TheGreatInstameet or #MondaysTheNewSunday on Instagram or Twitter.

Become a waste wizard with SCEG BY ALI DEANE THE focus of the next film night by Surf Coast Energy Group (SCEG) will be on waste, and what we as individuals can do to reduce our impact and live more sustainably. The evening will begin with a screening of the award winning Total Environment Centre documentary Waste Not by Ruth Hessey, a film about where garbage goes, who sorts it, and what it is worth if it isn’t tossed in landfill. Australians are the second highest producers of waste, per person, in the world, recycling only 50 per cent of all waste, each sending over 690 kilograms to landfill every year. The amount of waste taken to landfill each year in Australia is enough to cover the state of Victoria. In Waste Not an army of truck drivers, scientists, environmentalists, gardeners and a famous chef are working to transform the mountains of stuff we throw away into something valuable again. Environmentalist and filmmaker Annie Leonard said Waste Not makes the invisible visible. “It goes beyond waste management, beyond extolling the virtues of recycling, to propose a solution both radical and simple – we need to stop using so much stuff. We need to get off this consumer frenzied take-make-waste treadmill and create a better way to live – more sustainably, more healthily and way more fun.” SCEG’s Bronwyn Spark said the film leaves you feeling empowered, and will be the perfect lead-in to the evening’s fun and informative activities. Rubbish experts from the Surf Coast Shire and Barwon Regional Waste Management will be there to answer questions on recycling. A Sort It activity will test event-goers on what should be in the recycle bin. You can find out more about the shire’s vision of reducing landfill and great prizes will be up for grabs for those who bring along their best “Re-use” and “Re-create” item for a Show and Tell. As always, there will be a scrumptious supper,

provided by Zeally Bay Bakery, Hidden Secrets and generous SCEG volunteers. The event will kick off at 7pm at Surf World Torquay, next Friday August 2, entry by donation. SCEG is looking for community helpers for promotional posters and grant writing, minute taking and to help on Sustainable House Day on Sunday September 8. If you would like to find out more about SCEG, or how you can become involved, head to sceg.org.au. Head to wastenot.org.au to view a trailer of the film, and check out their new interactive educational resource built around the documentary. Residents who live near Geelong and Drysdale can now drop off household items that normally go in the recycling bin (yellow lid bin) at their local Resource Recovery Centre for free.

Australians recycle only 50 per cent of their waste, and landfill sites are growing. Get to SCEG’s next film night to learn how you can become a waste wizard.

Agreeing with Loader’s Hon. Terry Mulder, MP comments Minister for Public Transport Minister for Roads

Dear Editor, In response to article “Curlewis reader loves sign of the times”, (Letters, July 16) we wish to express our full support for Danielle Loader’s comments. After nine months of having to travel up and down to the local post office merely to collect our mail we are sick of it. We are in a substantially occupied estate (one of three) and like many of our neighbours, find it difficult to be able to get to the post office during opening times. This has necessitated the purchase of a post office box. All we are asking for is the same privilege as any other resident that pays rates and taxes. We are in a residential not rural area with made roads and footpaths and only a couple of kilometres from the post office. There have been multiple complaints made to Australia Post; however they feel they have the right to say no without a fair (or believable) reason. Two unhappy residents Curlewis

Parking and transport a worry in Grove Dear Editor, We are responding to “Residential zones grow in Ocean Grove”, Bellarine Times, July 16. This letter mentions “existing established services”. It is true we do have two good shopping areas, but parking for vehicles in both these areas is inadequate at any time and during the summer holidays it is horrendous, so we fail to see how opening up more land for housing and bringing in more residents can be a good thing at this stage. While we do have some facilities and services,

there is one glaring problem and that is Ocean Grove lacks a decent and frequent bus service and of course there is no rail service either. The bus service to Geelong is inadequate and also irregular, it very often goes from Ocean Grove via Marshalltown to Geelong. Living in the Collendina end of Ocean Grove, the bus stops are some distance away, there is no long term parking close to them, the Ocean Grove Market Place car parking and the Parade car park are restricted to two hours, a trip into Geelong and back on the bus can take as long as 80 minutes, this certainly does not encourage us to use the bus service. We can be in Geelong Central in 30 minutes when driving but there are many older folk who no longer have this choice, this will no doubt include ourselves in the not too distant future. A taxi ride from our home to Geelong would cost around $60, as pensioners it would have to be a dire emergency to use this service. Mr and Mrs RD Berry Ocean Grove

Thanks to Good Samaritan Dear Editor, Many thanks to the person who handed in my black purse which I’d left in the black shopping basket at Safeway in Drysdale recently. I was so grateful and relieved to find it at the customer service desk. A very grateful senior Ocean Grove

Unique part of heritage Dear Editor, The Great Ocean Road is a unique part of our heritage. It is the world’s longest war memorial, carved from solid rock by returned servicemen using picks and

shovels, backed by horses and explosives. They toiled for years and dedicated it to the memory of their fallen comrades. Therefore it must be maintained in good condition to honour those who built it and those who did not have the chance to come home to work on it. It should guarantee a safe journey for overseas and local travellers. Rock falls and water damage must be prevented, and the road surface needs to be top grade. But it doesn’t have to be like the Big Sur Highway in California (Surf Coast Times, July 9). The Big Sur is one section of the Pacific Coast Highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It has standing pillars similar to our Apostles and scenic views. But the landscape is not as diverse as the Great Ocean Road, and it’s usually shrouded in sea mist. Fortunately we saw it on a clear day. We were told it was built by convicts from St Quentin. It now has structures like Sydney’s Sea Cliff Bridge on the Grand Pacific Drive in New South Wales. Care should be taken when adapting our road for present needs. We do not want to obliterate the roughhewn appearance that reminds us of its creators. The winding course of the road is part of the adventure of driving over it. We have already lost the swinging curves that once led down into Anglesea. It’s probably safer, but something has been lost forever. The Great Ocean Road is so much more than a thoroughfare. Its “Digger Spirit” must be preserved. Lest we forget!

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or

physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

Pavement construction works on Murradoc Road in Drysdale between Mortimier Street and Becks Road have been suspended due to winter weather. A VicRoads contractor has started construction of a sealed shoulder and road safety improvements in both directions on Murradoc Road. However, due to the winter weather, works were suspended earlier in July and are expected to restart in September once the weather improves. The speed limit will remain at a reduced speed to ensure the safety of motorists throughout the roadwork zone. VicRoads reminds motorists to obey all roadwork signs and speed limits, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

news More fun to be served up at Freshwater Creek Reserve 18

SURF Coast Shire is about to start work on a tennis, playground and picnic area at Freshwater Creek Reserve. The new area will be located on the front pair of tennis courts at the reserve in Dickins Road. It will include a barbeque area, seating, a basketball and netball goal area, and an upgraded playground that will include a combination play unit, swings, a mini cycle circuit for small children and landscaping.

A hit-up wall for tennis practice will also remain. The former playground and barbeque equipment has been moved from its former location in the reserve, due to the potential for limbs from mature red gum trees in the area to fall. The $65,000 project has been developed after community consultation and will be completed before the end of August. Surf Coast mayor Libby Coker said the project would provide significantly upgraded facilities

Organisers are in the planning stages of the festival and have invited members of the community to help bring the festival together. The logo design competition is running again this year and the festival is seeking artistic contributions that will represent this year’s theme.

Thousands get to grips with anxiety BY JAMES TAYLOR THOUSANDS of Australians have tackled their fears about anxiety since beyondblue launched a national campaign about the issue two months ago. The campaign’s first television advertisements aired last week, which aim to raise further awareness about the conditions and help even more people recognise the signs of anxiety. Get to Know Anxiety began in May as new research showed a growing need to take action, including Roy Morgan data showing the number of Australian adults who reported experiencing an anxiety condition in the past 12 months had grown almost 40 per cent in the past four years. After the launch, the average number of weekly calls to the beyondblue support service grew more than 50 per cent – from 1,400 before the launch to 2,170 in its first week. The number of calls has averaged 1,960 in the following weeks, highlighting the campaign’s success in helping people recognise anxiety symptoms and encouraging them to seek support. The beyondblue website, which also provides

information and guidance on anxiety, has experienced a similar surge in visitors since Get to Know Anxiety launched, including the most ever visitors in one day. The organisation’s chief officer, Kate Carnell, said the TV ads – which will screen in prime time with support from a digital campaign and new outdoor advertising – would build on the campaign’s success in reaching Australians who otherwise may never have sought help. “Anxiety is an incredibly common condition, but too many Australians still think that symptoms such as obsessive behaviour, relentless worrying or panic attacks are just a part of who they are. “They could in fact be living with an undiagnosed anxiety condition. We launched this campaign to show that having anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of and, once it is recognised, it is very responsive to treatment. This latest advertisement campaign, which includes the television advertisements that reference different anxiety symptoms, means we can reach even more Australians and tell them they do not have to live with these symptoms without support.” For more head to beyondblue.org.au.

A still from beyondblue’s latest campaign to raise awareness of anxiety, which it says has been a success.

Keep cough medicine away from young kids THERE are concerns parents might still be reaching for cough and cold medicines for their young children this winter, despite restrictions introduced for these medicines almost 12 months ago. On September 1, 2012, the Therapeutic Goods Administration restricted the use of cough and cold medicines to treat young children in light of evidence about the medicines’ potential harms. Even though cough and cold medicines are widely used, most have not been studied in clinical trials. There is little reliable information about their effectiveness, particularly in children, and they are known to potentially cause drowsiness, nausea, vomiting or constipation, and more serious side effects like seizures. Under the new regulations, cough and cold medicines should not be given to children under six years old and should only be given to children aged six to 11 on the advice of a doctor, pharmacist or nurse practitioner. NPS MedicineWise spokeswoman Aine Heaney said while the changes had been in effect for almost

a year, this winter might be the first time parents had faced cold and flu season without cough and cold medicines in reserve. “It can be very distressing when your child has a cough, cold or flu and it’s not unusual for parents to think that a medicine is required. “Particularly if you’ve used cough and cold medicines to treat the kids in the past, it might come as a shock – and perhaps an inconvenience – that those medicines are no longer available or recommended for your child. “But whatever your personal experience with cough and cold medicines, the fact remains that there is little evidence for their effectiveness and some of their active ingredients can cause serious side effects in children.” She said children that were generally healthy would get better on their own within seven to 10 days. “Making sure your child gets plenty of rest and drinks plenty of water will help their recovery.” Head to nps.org.au/conditions/common_cold for more information.

Public underestimates the risk of diabetes BY JAMES TAYLOR

WHEN it comes to diabetes, the difference between public perception and the reality of the risk has been found to be worryingly different. Nearly 80 per cent of Australians did not think they were at risk of developing diabetes despite evidence that more than two million Australians had pre-diabetes and were at high risk, and many more Australians were at medium risk of developing type two diabetes. National Diabetes Week was marked last week, and Diabetes Australia chief officer Professor Greg Johnson said the disconnect was a concern. “280 Australians develop diabetes every day – nearly 100,000 Australians developed diabetes in the past year. The rise of this epidemic and the high impact on everyday Australians cannot be ignored.� A new campaign from Diabetes Australia, The Face of Diabetes, aims to raise awareness of all types of diabetes, the continuing rise of the epidemic and its significant financial implications, and need for the federal government to urgently develop and implement a new National Diabetes Strategy.

“All types of diabetes – type one, type two and gestational diabetes show worrying increases in prevalence,� Professor Johnson said “There is no such thing as ‘mild’ diabetes. All types of diabetes are serious and can lead to serious complications. For example, heart attacks and strokes kill people with diabetes early and are four times more likely in people with diabetes. On existing trends, diabetes will become the number one burden of disease in Australia in the next five years. “Type two diabetes now costs the Australian community $14.6 billion a year. This will double to $30 billion in 12 years if we don’t adopt stronger approaches to preventing diabetes and its complications.� Professor Paul Zimmet, who helped prepare the national diabetes strategy, said Diabetes Australia wanted national targets for the health system to focus on prevention of diabetes and its complications. He said that “diabetes begets diabetes�, hence the focus on diabetes in pregnancy and the increased risk for the children which can be intergenerational. For more information, phone 1300 136 588 or head to faceofdiabetes.org.au.

A study has found up to 3 million people over the age of 25 will have diabetes by 2025.

After hours GP services and medical care website launched BY JAMES TAYLOR BARWON Medicare Local has announced that new arrangements for GP after hours services have come into effect, after working closely with local doctors over the last few months. Barwon Medicare Local chief officer Jason Trethowan said the new docgeelong.com website provided the community with specifics about what GP after hour services and pharmacies were available

Mr Trethowan said the good news was that access was open to other patients, not just existing patients. “When general practices are closed, GP on call services, including the home visiting doctor service are also available across the Barwon region including Geelong, Bellarine, the Surf Coast, Colac Otway and Golden Plains, which is great news for our community.� Barwon Health executive director of medical services Felicity Topp said the health provider was

across the Barwon region. “It provides real time, up-to-date information about where to access after hours medical care, including whether a practice is open or closed and has the capacity to see more patients. Access to general practice after hours services has been enhanced by a further five clinics extending their opening hours. This is in addition to the 24 general practices in the region that have received funding to sustain their current after hours services.�

BY ALI DEANE IT MAY be the depths of winter but there are no excuses for staying in this weekend especially when the premier of the long awaited Craig “Ando” Anderson surf film and three massive acts combine for one epic night in Torquay. The film about Ando, Slow Dance, was shot by fellow surfer Dane Reynolds and is touring around the country. It will hit Quiksilver head office this Friday followed by an official after party at Torquay Hotel featuring rock-comedian Ryan Coffee, Ally Oop and The Hoopsters and a hair raising set by local punks Macondo Blowout. The 30-minute surf flick follows surfers Craig “Ando” Anderson, Rob Machado, Occy, Matt Hoy, Dion Agius, Dane Reynolds, Ozzie

Wright and Chippa Wilson as they travel the globe to find waves. Expect to see some serious style, barrels and big punts from the best as they deliver a showcase of modern surfing from Australia, Chile, India, West Africa and Tahiti. The night starts at 5.30pm, entry by wristband only – available at the Quiksilver store, Torquay, numbers are limited, so be quick – and food and refreshments will be available. An official after party kicks off at 8.30pm at Torquay Hotel, with a shuttle bus running from Quiksilver from 8-9pm to the venue. Macondo Blowout drummer Michael Pitman said the evening had an awesome lineup, starting with hilarious rock-comedian Ryan Coffee from Melbourne. Coffee, a seasoned stand-up comedian and regular on the festival circuit creates rock

comedy anthems live before your eyes. Punk-rap-dance rocksters Ally Oop and the Hoopsters, also out of Melbourne feature Ally from the legendary Spazzys, Icepick – aka Dempster from the Sailors – and Noize Bunny, who will be warming the crowd with garage grooves and hectic beats. And it will be the last time fans can catch headliners Macondo Blowout, before they head off for gigs at Mount Hotham and hit the recording studio for their first official EP – to be released later this year. The after party at Torquay Hotel is $12 entry at the door, 8.30pm til late. Both events take place Friday July 26, with the Slow Dance Torquay premier at Quiksilver head office, 27 Baines Court, 5.30-8.30pm. Remember to pick up your wrist band from the Quiksilver store at Surf City Plaza, Torquay.

Local heroes BEFORE I get into the wine side of things, I’ve got to make mention of “that� ad for the Barossa Valley (“be consumed�) that’s been running on the TV screens recently. How good is it? I love advertising/marketing etcetera and this ad to me, was just fabulous – I mean it’s got all the right elements coming together – it’s beautifully shot and so super cool, with its intriguing, raw, earthy, moody/mysterious vibe. Add to that the edginess of Nick Cave’s song – “Red Right Hand� and the dark undercurrent is complete. It only hints at the possibilities, suggesting a oneness amongst the regions stakeholders, making you want to explore what the Barossa and its artisanal food and wine producers have to offer. With this in mind, it makes me think of the fantastic produce that our region has to offer, wine in particular, and some of the new 2012 wine releases certainly give food for thought and make a strong case for the region as a quality producer.

2012 Leura Park ’25 Degrees Estate Pinot Gris ($25) This wine has always done very well for this winery and with winemaker Darren Burke now well and truly part of the fabric down there at Leura Park on the Bellarine Peninsula, things certainly auger well for the future. Darren has won many awards for the Pinot Gris he’s produced over the years, but this latest 2012 vintage could very well be a watershed moment such is the excitement, I believe. It leads in with aromatics that hint at enticing pear, lychee, spice, and musk, yet there’s a depth to the fragrance with a complex savoury/smokiness in the background that adds to the interest. Yet, it’s the palate that really makes this wine shine, makes it so mouth-wateringly drinkable. Break it down to its origins and it’s a benchmark Bellarine Peninsula Pinot Gris that comes really close to, if not emulating, a good example from Alsace because it has all the hallmarks you look for in its depth, resonance, texture, mouth-feel, weight, and balance. A fullness of flavour that is exciting enough for this variety in Victoria, let alone the region itself – am I getting carried away? More than likely! This is a fantastic Australian Pinot Gris, a triumph for the Geelong wine region, specifically the Bellarine wine region, and above all winemaker Darren Burke too, a passionate winemaker who has become a specialist

with this variety, “Mr Pinot Gris� if you like, showing us all just what can be achieved with this variety in our region. Bravo.

2012 Clyde Park Single “Block G� Shiraz ($70) With the (cracking) 2012 vintage releases, Clyde Park winery have initiated a change to their normal output by ditching their reserve range of wines, instead releasing each of their best blocks of wines as separate entities to further express and highlight the nuance of each separate block within the property. This is a big step in the right direction and it’s fantastic to see just how different each parcel can be and what they bring to the party so to speak. I recently got to try the wines and one in particular was super impressive – the “imaginatively� named Block G Shiraz (there’s also a Block B and Block D in the Shiraz range). Anyway, I’m a big fan of our regional Shiraz and I was amazed at the depth and weight of this wine with its dark fruit richness, smooth texture, and intoxicating earthy/savoury spiciness. Of course, being a single block means the availability is limited so if you can get your hands on it, please do.

STEP into a majestic landscape when exploring the latest exhibition featured at Surfcoast Images. Torquay artist Faye Owen has handpicked her favourite works for Diversity, a series of beautiful paintings that capture the colourful iconic elements of Australia, painted on location in northern and tropical Queensland, Wentworth, Lake Mountain, Cape Bedford beach and beyond. Ms Owen works in oil, pastel, pen and wash and said she had wanted to bring art lovers something different. “The country and its surrounding oceans provide a limitless repertoire of landscapes and seascapes, scrub, bush and forests, mountains, lakesides and rivers. Diversity features a lot of different elements, diverse in colour and mediums. “There are a lot of sand pictures; coloured sands and white sand but not too many local images.� Oil painting White Sands and Mangroves features tropical bleached white sand and bright blue water in contrast with the dark foliage of the mangroves on

Cape Bedford beach. There are amorous pelicans in pastel, bright coloured sands in pastel and a pen and wash series of river scenes. A modern style in pastel also captures “funny fruit�. Ms Owen, originally from Port Fairy, is an award winning artist and a member of the Victorian Artists Society, the Pastel Society of Victoria, the Australian Guild of Realist Artists and the Geelong and Anglesea artists societies. Alternating her work with teaching and taking art workshops, Ms Owen loves to work in her sunny Modewarre studio and at home in Torquay. Next month she departs for an art tour to the Greek Isles under famous Australian oil painter Colley Whisson. Expect more beautiful works from Ms Owen from the Greek Isles. Ms Owen teaches pastel painting skills at her studio in Modewarre, with coming workshops taking place on July 28 and August 8. For more information, phone Faye Owen on 0417 583 789 or head to fayeowen.com.au. Surfcoast Images is open from Thursday-Monday, 11-4pm at 2B Gilbert Street, Torquay.

Faye Owen’s White Sands and Mangroves is one of the works in Diversity, the July exhibition at Surfcoast Images.

with Mary-Ellen Belleville

TALK about throwing a cat among the pigeons. Mention the “f” word at this time of year and you are likely to ignite passion from almost every corner of this town’s community. I’m talking about footy, of course – and the definitive food to fuel any footy fan is certainly a good hearty pie. You see, when it comes to food-fashion the humble pie is the new black – it is de rigueur – and I mean big time. Restaurants are really having fun reinterpreting the classic combinations of fillings we all love – baked in a pastry case with a lid – for that is the definition of a pie. Just as anyone you ask will tell you who their favourite footy team is – we can all wax lyrical about our favourite pie, and even the circumstances in which we were eating that pie. Were you burning your mouth on the filling of a pie (which had been injected with tomato sauce) as you nibbled gingerly round the pastry edges, the pie half concealed in its brown paper bag? At the school canteen, it was a ‘treat’ to be able to place your order once a week – written on aforementioned bag – and eaten with glee in the courtyard on a crisp spring day.

Is your favourite a standard savoury beef mince, or perhaps a mushroom or yet again beef and Guinness pie? Then there’s chicken and leek, or curry? Pies have never really gone out of fashion and in ‘other cuisines’ the pie and its relatives have wiggled their way into our everyday eating - in Italian the pizza, in Indian the samoosa, Middle Eastern borek, Thai spring rolls – they all share the same roots. Pastry in whatever form – be it flaky, filo, shortcrust - is the edible vessel to contain the filling and historically it served many purposes. It kept the flies out, it essentially was the first ‘take away’ food for field workers. Its near relation, the Cornish pastie, had curled edges to the pastry which were originally the ‘handles’. Nowadays in our zeal to reduce the amount of packaging on all goods and ‘save the environment’ we could resort to simply eating our lunch out of the edible pastry wrap. Makes sense really, because while we are wrapping up against the winter chilly days, buttoning up our overcoats just one more time – a full-flavoured pie with an interesting filling makes dining decisions relatively easy. Why not have a pre-match gathering

Roughly chop bacon in same pan and grill – set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan, add flour and mix thoroughly – add milk slowly to make a creamy white sauce – thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper, add chilli flakes, leek, chicken, bacon and Parmesan. Using an oven proof bowl, brush the inside with oil. Brush each sheet of Filo with oil and lay one sheet on top of the other – reserve two sheets for the lid of the pie. Lay the Filo into the bowl, pour pie filling in, scrunch the last two sheets of Filo over the top, brush again with oil. Bake in a moderate oven (160 degrees Celsius) for about 25 minutes.

of buddies and serve a chunky beef and burgundy pie? Homemade pies can range from Spanish fish pie using chunks of firm fleshed white fish, some tomatoes roughly chopped, garlic, parsley, grated lemon rind, stuffed green olives and chopped hard boiled eggs. Or for something different, a Moroccan vegetable filling makes a belly warming substantial lunch. Pies are serious business in Australia – and just as we approach the grand final – there are prizes awarded across the land for ‘best pies’. In Crow Country, the ‘pie floater’ is so revered it is on the National Trust’s heritage list – a pie served in a sea of pea soup, garnished with tomato sauce, sometimes Worcestershire, and a dash of vinegar. I cannot claim to be enamoured enough of the local footy team’s aspirations to warrant devising a ‘Go Cats pie’ but for a pie that is speedy to make and a real winner, try this recipe for a chicken and leek premier pie. Turn the radio to the football broadcast and randomly throw a blue and white scarf round you neck, while chanting “Go Cats” or something similar. Keep an eye on the pie in the oven – once browned, serve with large portions of enthusiasm.

With Mercury moving forwards in your relationship zone, there’s no substitute for clear and constant communication with loved ones. Then you can straighten misunderstandings out well before they develop. The weekend will be full of extra duties and responsibilities, and others may question your authority or motives. Aim to keep a cool head on your Capricorn shoulders.

The week starts well, as you tackle a family issue or professional problem with extra energy and enthusiasm. But – if you take on too much or promise more than you can deliver - the week could end with recriminations and power struggles. You’re keen to crash or crash through but is that the best way to go? Perhaps it’s time to try a more sensitive and subtle approach.

The Aquarian full moon urges you to be more adventurous in your close personal relationships, otherwise they will become stale and stultifying. So it’s time for Crabs to clear the air, as you broach sensitive subjects and bring hidden problems to a head. But avoid using guilt, manipulation or emotional games to get what you want, especially this weekend.

It’s a wonderful week for work matters and business projects as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune support your talents and propel you into the spotlight. Others are finally sitting up and taking notice… so make sure you have something substantial to say. Procrastination is out and proactive plans are in, as you stride into the future with plenty of passion and purpose.

Venus your ruling planet shifts into your entertainment zone so expect your social life to pick up over the next few weeks. With the full moon firing up your brilliant career zone, roll up your sleeves and get to work. The more curious and experimental you are, the better the results will be. The weekend is the time to wind down and indulge in some serious body pampering.

Lions lap up attention, applause and praise which leaves you incredibly susceptible to flattery – of the honest and false kind. This week, don’t waste precious time running around canvasing the opinions of others. Instead, trust your inner voice. If you have to make an important personal decision, do what birthday great Helen Mirren does “Just believe in your instincts.”

Are you stuck in a complacent rut? Don’t get yourself too comfortable and settled Scorpio! With Mars and Jupiter joining up in your adventure zone, it’s time to forge into foreign territory and explore the world around you via camping trips, interstate forays or overseas travel. Be inspired by aviator Amelia Earhart: “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.”

The annual full moon in Aquarius sees you at your eccentric best – and temperamental worst. If you must rebel, make sure it’s over something that’s important! With Saturn moving slowly through your career zone, it’s time to work hard and set challenging professional goals. Be patient, the skills you polish now will stand you in good stead in the future.

With Mercury now moving forwards through your money zone, money matters should improve, as long as you are financially frugal. Saturday is super for entertaining but expect some intense discussions on Sunday especially involving money, politics or religion. In order to keep the peace, perhaps it would be best to keep your controversial opinions to yourself?

Virgo, get ready to rumble as Venus visits your sign from July 22 through to August 17. It’s the perfect time for a fabulous makeover as you get a revamped hairstyle, an updated wardrobe or a sassy new attitude. All types of communication are also favoured as you convey your ideas to a receptive audience via talking, texting, tweeting, teaching or blogging.

Don’t rest on your Sagittarian laurels and don’t do things in a halfhearted way! The Mars/Jupiter hook up heightens your motivation and puts you in the mood to indulge, enthuse, explore and exaggerate. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Mick Jagger: “Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” The weekend is wonderful for love.

Nebulous Neptune weaves a web of illusion, and you may find it difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. So make sure you double-check any information you receive and don’t believe everything you hear. The week will work best if you channel your Piscean energy into creative projects, spiritual pursuits or helping others in your local community.

WITH ANGLESEA BOWLING CLUB ATTENTION all bowlers. Due to the number of members away on vacation for the months of July and August, the Anglesea Bowling Club has varied their winter bowls program. In order to boost the number of bowlers on the greens, Monday’s games will now be a mixed event – see below.

Fierce contests abounded in the Seagulls versus Grubbers clash.

WINTER PROGRAM The Anglesea Bowling Club invites experienced bowlers to participate in its winter programme (weather permitting) on: MONDAY Mixed bowls from 12.30pm TUESDAY Mixed bowls from 10.30am (bring your own lunch), and SATURDAY Mixed bowls from 12.30pm Contact the Club by 9.30am on 5263 1229 to register your name. Dress neat casual.

Grubbers keep finals hopes alive A win for Barwon Heads was just out of reach at the weekend, when Ocean Grove claimed a six point victory (10.17 77 – 10.11 71) in the game touted The Battle of the Bridge. Their positions on the ladder remained the same, with Barwon Heads fifth and Ocean Grove sixth, proving wins on the road to finals as vital for both sides to be in contention.

RESULTS

The Grubbers celebrate their triumph which meant they remained in finals contention, two points outside the top five. Photos: PETER MARSHALL

Before the game in Torquay

Unfortunately, Saturday’s game was cancelled due to rain. However, Monday saw a hardy bunch of fellas turn up for a spirited game. Winners were John Emery and Les Hocking. Tuesday was sunny and perfect for bowling. It was pleasing that Judith McKay from Torquay joined us for the day. Winners were Margaret Scanlon, Carmen Koster and Josie Bizewski. Well done to Josie, who was also in the winning team the previous week when she played with Kaye Kendall and Edna Gleeson.

WINTER LUNCHEONS

Former Carlton coach David Parkin hosted a special Before the Game function at the Torquay Football Club on Saturday that preceded the Torquay clash against rivals Anglesea. The Tigers dominated the rivalry round, taking down the Roos 126 to 29; cementing their position in fourth spot on the BFL ladder, and no doubt paving their way for a finals berth. Parkin is here flanked by Steve Dunstan and Tim Carson while the crowd enjoys the anticipation of the game beginning. Photo: PETER MASHALL

These returned on July 10 and will be held on the second and fourth Wednesday during July and August, beginning at noon at the Anglesea Golf Club. The next winter luncheon will be held tomorrow. Come along for the food, fun, fellowship and lots of laughs.

BAREFOOT BOWLS For those wishing to come and try bowling, phone the club on 5263 1229 or 0499 856 613 to arrange a suitable time. Bowls will be supplied by the club together with some coaching at a cost of $10 per player for two hours (wear flat-soled shoes).

HAPPY HOUR Are you looking for something to do on a wintery Friday afternoon? Come and join in the fun and frivolity at the Anglesea Bowling Club for a happy hour or two from 4.30pm onwards. You will be made most welcome.

Tuesday 23 July 2013

RECENTLY, I have received a number of enquiries about how many line and rods and the type of hooks you can use to enable you to catch a fish. The reasons for these enquiries are not only by fishers to verify the exact regulations that apply, but have also been bought up in the context of reports coming to me from the Barwon River. It seems an increase has been noticed in the number of rods and reels that are being used by certain individuals in fishing and targeting of mullet in the Barwon River. Some of the reports I have received revolve around people fishing the Barwon River in large numbers and some in large family groups taking

advantage of these bag limits, which can create a perception of over fishing. Mullet, as most fishers are aware, have no size limit but do incur a bag limit of 40 mullet per person. The Barwon River it seems at this point in time is receiving more and more of this attention with regards to targeting this species of fish. I am also led to believe that reports of these ongoing practices have been made to Fisheries Victoria. “Fisheries Victoria is aware of significant recreational fishing for mullet in the Barwon estuary in recent times,” a Fisheries spokesperson said. “Inspections to date, however, have found those fishers checked have been compliant with relevant

Tennis in Geelong Just for the record JUST two more weeks to go before the Tennis Geelong finals series begins (three for six draw teams). The August 24 grand final will see 11 senior and 16 junior teams play for the pride and honour of being declared “premiers”! Couch potatoes can look forward to the upcoming US Open, where Sam Stosur appears one of the possibilities, along with doubles pairing Casey Dellacqua and Ashley Barty, who did so well at Wimbledon. Locally, juniors can get some great finals practice in the Racquet Works junior masters on Sunday August 12 at Grovedale Tennis Club. Ring Cameron Govan on 0408 517 620. Finally, the ladies midweek competition started last Tuesday with 11 sections playing in the now dominant Tennis Geelong competition. Pictured below, midweek players at Clifton Springs on the first day of the new season, left to right, Bev, Joan, Marita, Pat and Bev. Hope it’s a great season everyone! The next “Tennis in Geelong”, set for Tuesday, August 20, will look at the likely front-runners in the race for some of the premierships! Catch me on phil.hunt@moolaptc.org.

TENNIS Geelong’s Bernie Morris (pictured) recently notched up his 25th year as the association’s junior results recorder, currently summer and winter results with Tennis Geelong and formerly Geelong Winter Tennis Association and Geelong Churches Tennis Association. Bernie’s love of the game and dedication to junior tennis is legendary, as is his passion for detail - for simply “getting it right”. And it’s a lot trickier than people might think! As a player, it all began for Bernie in 1951 as a junior for St Bernard’s (that’s another Bernard!), where he played for 16 years before laying down the tennis racquet for another sporting passion, badminton – and spent the next 11 pursuing that rather vigorous sport, before re-engaging with tennis – for St Bernard’s of course! Bernie’s connection with St Bernard’s totalled 41 years and he was secretary for 30 of them, before the club folded in 2003 and he became connected with St Mary’s Tennis Club. Not only that, he was president of the Geelong Winter Tennis Association for three years before that association wound up after 100 years, merging with Tennis Geelong in 2007. But, returning to the junior recorder position. At the annual general meeting of the (then) controlling body, Geelong Winter Tennis Association, in 1988, one Glenda Fechner was elected as association junior secretary, but showed some reluctance to take on the job of junior record keeper. That proved to be a pivotal moment Bernie volunteered for the job and the rest, as they say, is history. And it’s a family affair, tennis, that is. Wife Donna and their four offspring, a son and three daughters have all played (some still do). As for Bernie, he remains a loyal St Mary’s player, still thrives on the competition and feels strongly about nurturing junior tennis in particular - and as for the junior recorder’s job - no plans to hand on the baton just yet! A phenomenal contribution, on and off the court, Bernie – congratulations from everyone in the tennis community!

LEGENDS OF TENNIS

Marvellous Monica Seles BELIEVE it or not, Monica Seles (pictured), tennis champ of the 90s, will celebrate her 40th birthday later this year. Born in Yugoslavia (now Serbia) to Hungarian parents, her early tennis was hitting with father Karoly in a local car park. He was a lifelong coach and mentor and helped her to develop her two-handed style, now a normal part of many of the top players’ games. A child prodigy, Monica started playing as a five-year-old, before winning a top junior tournament in Miami at age 11 and catching the eye of tennis guru Nick Bollettieri. Joining the professional tour as a 15 year old in 1989, Monica heralded her arrival by beating all-time great Chris Evert to win an event in Houston, USA. A month later, she lost in the French Open semi-finals in a tight three-setter to established world number one Steffi Graf. Now she really had arrived! Twelve months later Monica was to avenge that loss to Steffi and win the French Open, the youngest player ever to do so and combined with other successes, climbed the rankings ladder to be world number two at year’s end. The following year, 1991, was very near her best, winning three of the four majors, becoming world number one and dominating the women’s tour. Again in 1992, she successfully defended those same titles and remained entrenched at the top of the rankings. As her fame grew, so did the controversial issue of her “shrieking” each time she struck the ball. Some players complained and she received quite negative publicity about this, before she eventually “modified” the intensity. Monica began 1993 typically with her third Australian Open title, but just three months later, there was to be perhaps the most defining moment in her life. Playing in Hamburg, Germany, Monica was

stabbed in the back by a mentally unstable man who was a Steffi Graf fan. The wound itself proved to be not serious, but the mental scars would take a lot longer to heal. The perpetrator of the attack was given only probation and psychological counselling. Stunned by this, Monica vowed never to play in Germany again. Out of the game for two years, Monica made her comeback in 1995, winning the Canadian Open and being runner-up in the US Open and a year later won her fourth Australian Open and was runner-up in the French Open. Although remaining a top 10 player for the next seven years, she never again captured a major title. A persistent foot injury eventually forced her retirement in 2003. Post tennis, Monica has written an autobiography and quite recently a work of fiction, The Academy. She has dabbled in commentary, appeared in television on The Nanny and Dancing with the Stars and has long been involved in humanitarian work dealing with malnutrition. As a tennis player, she will certainly be remembered for the “shrieking” and, more importantly as one of the first female power players. Monica Seles was listed as the 13th greatest player of all time (men and women) by US Tennis magazine.

MID WEEK RESULTS

WEEKEND RESULTS

The event was Par for the men on Wednesday and they had a lovely day for it. Peter Caulfield had the best score for the day with 3 up winning B Grade. Greg Davis scored 2 up to win A Grade and included an eagle on the 9th in his round. John Butler also scored 2 up to win C Grade on a countback from Bernie Dilger and Alan Parton won the seniors with 3 down. NTP winners were Mike Grossman, Jim Reed, Director Allan Foster and Rob Steven. The ladies weren’t so lucky on Thursday. The weather looked like it was going turn all morning but surprisingly most players only had a couple of wet holes. Conditions were very tough with strong swirly winds. Best score of the day was Ann Stokes with an impressive 1 down – square before the last hole – winning Division 1. Janice Pekin won Division 2 with 4 down on a count back from Jan Stewart, and Aileen Morton

Saturday was back to cold wintery conditions with some rain to contend with. The score to win was 37 points but only for two. Toby Cumming won the four-way countback to win A Grade, Ross Duff was runner up, and John Mooney and Peter Richardson missed out. Nick Gribben won C Grade with 37 points on a count back from Ian Martin. In B Grade, John Edmanson was the outright winner with 36 points. For the ladies our winner was June Washington with 30 points on a count back from Vida Brenner. NTP winners were Ian Weaver, Gary Tierney, Margot Parton and Leon Czarnuch. Sunday was another day where the weather threatened, but stayed away. It was only a small field that braved the cold. Winner for the ladies was Jan Stewart with 1 down. In the mens event Colin Kosky won with 4 up with Tim Legoe runner up with 2 up. NTP winners were David Griggs, Jack Everitt, Claire Brennan and Paul Stratham. The Gunners have done another great job cleaning up the course and have now named one of the pathways after themselves – check out the back of the 8th for Gunners Drive. Enjoy your golf and stay warm and dry.

THE girls played foursomes Stableford on Tuesday with the winners qualifying for the Doris Chambers. Marion Lyne and Yvonne Mazylis combined for a solid 35 points to win and progress to the Doris Chambers event to be held at Goonawarra later in the year. Good luck girls! NTP winners for the day were Alita Dales and Trudy Bath. It was the final round of the Mid Week Champs for the lads on Wednesday and bringing home the championship was Doug Hutchison with fine rounds of 70 and 66 to win by a comfortable 11 strokes from our senior champion, Ross Duff. In the Nett Champs, Geoff Richmond snuck home with Nett scores of 67 and an amazing 60, defeating Paul Horne by two strokes. In the competition of the day, former single figure handicapper Greg Baeck was back in form winning A Grade with a Nett 63. Trevor Bell rang in a 60 in B, Geoff Richmond won C with 61 and John Fraser was too good in D with 63. Bill Brushfield was the Senior winner scoring 68. NTPs were picked up by Leslie Grayling, Edward Siddall, Ken Reddrop, Paul Horne and Doug Young. The jackpot went to the mighty Dom Condon and an eagle was scored on the 10th by Dean Pearce. On Friday, in a small field, Henry Kelly managed a huge 6 up to beat John Nestor’s 5 up. For the girls, Rachel Norman was all smiles after scoring a victory with 1 up, well done Rachel.

The first round of the Laurie Dean Cup was contested on Saturday in a 4BBB Stableford format and the new 4BBB scorecards were giving the gents something to think about. Shaun Litiaze and Graham Gill were the stars of the day, combining for 49 points, winning from seven other pairs stuck on 46. A reminder that the second round will be played on August 17 and you must have a different partner. For the Seniors, Roy Ball was too strong, scoring 44 points and the Ladies winner was Inge Oliver with a score of 34 points. NTPs went to Heather Dixon, Sue Booth, Leslie Grayling, Andrew Groom, Peter Mahony, Tony Hopwood and Jon Zowa. Wes Matthews was rapt to hear his name called out for the jackpot and three eagles were scored by Gary Lenehan, Evan Huebner and Gary Taylor, all on the 10th. Peter Garland and Pamela Brewin were the winners on Sunday with NTPs going to Micky Knevitt, Sandra Martin, Greg Giampiccolo and Anthony Matheson. Ron Fish caught the jackpot.

HOT on the success of Joe Camilleri this weekend we have another Roo Twilights event with Tex Perkins and Charlie Owen performing on Saturday September 7. If the demand is anything like that for Joe you will need to get in fast on the tickets. It is great to see the club full and for those that perhaps prefer things a little quieter you still have time to book for the Presidents and Captains dinner this Saturday night. Emmett Dunne will be our speaker and I’m sure he will give some great insights into his football career.

Your ball credits will be expiring again at the end of the month, so make sure you check your ball account. The Golfer’s Lift is opening to the terrace side again and you can now make bookings at the golf club on the computer in the committee room. Now that the tour and the open are over, let’s get some decent sleep and hit some great scores at Torquay.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB SCHOOL holidays have been a good time for the club. There has been plenty of usage of all the facilities. The bistro has been very busy and has served up some wonderful dishes to our group table on the number of occasions we came for dinner. The meals were of an excellent standard and well presented. This makes the evening all the more enjoyable. I am still waiting for my number to come up on the members draw. I think it is $2,200 this Wednesday, perhaps I am being a bit greedy here as it is only twelve months ago that I won $1,000 in the draw. Still, my name is there and my number can come up so I am ready. I will be there for a good meal and the “loot”. Out on the golf course I felt the very best was happening when I saw groups of players representing three generations enjoying their game. It was interesting to observe the challenges going on where the younger players were trying to match their parents who were quietly playing with the objective of beating the “grandies”.

Cricket preseason approaches BY HAMISH BROOKS IT MAY not feel like cricket weather, but the Ashes showdown in London has ensured the country’s attention is firmly fixed on the gentleman’s game. Torquay Cricket Club is holding a “meet the coach night” this Friday July 26 at Bells Bar, Torquay Hotel starting at 7pm in the lead up the beginning of their preseason on August 11 and First XI coach Andrew Murden is encouraging anyone interested to get along. He holds high hopes for the season following last season’s strong finish and the recruitment of highly rated English seamer Callum Harding. “Over the preseason all of us have been working overtime on recruitment. “We finished off last season with a rush winning all games after Christmas but still narrowly missed the finals so we want to ensure we do what needs to be done with recruiting and setting up the right coaching

structure to take that next step to finals. “The season’s goals are to have success on the field especially with the talented senior group we have but we also want to focus strongly on developing our young guys and we have specialist coaches in place in Shane Thompson (bowling) and Steve Alsop (batting) that have the experience and skill to ensure that happens. “We have recruited a highly rated seamer from England to boost our bowling attack and compliment a very strong batting line up. “Lots of work needs to be done starting August 11 when we start preseason training but we feel we have a strong enough list led by our First XI captain Luke Slater, who made 750 runs last season, to test some of those top teams.” Head along to the meet the coach night this Friday or call Andrew Murden on 0413 933 623 if you’re interested in playing.
