Park members to vote on performance space

FINAL SAY BY TIFFANY PILCHER

THE future of the proposed performance space at Ocean Grove Park is going to a vote. Ocean Grove Park Inc Association members will decide if construction of the building should go ahead at a special general meeting to be held on August 23. Another motion put forward by members to create a rule that forbids the association’s committee from making decisions on projects that will incur a cost of more than $20,000 without members’ endorsement, will also be voted on.

A 75 per cent vote is required for a motion to pass. If the rules are to be changed, the final decision must be approved by the Registrar of Consumer Affairs. Tempers over the planned building have flared since a letter was sent out on July 31 informing members of the meeting, which included names and signatures of those calling for the vote. One association member, who asked to remain anonymous, said they have been personally harassed with hate mail and eggs thrown at their house. “I am appalled at the actions of the

current committee,” they wrote in a letter to the Bellarine Times. “What a low act; if they were trying to intimidate people by ensuring all those who support the performance space knew every single person involved by deliberately giving out their names, then that is just disgusting.” Mr Atkins said the committee was advised it was appropriate for all members to be forwarded a full copy of the exact request and motions, together with the signatures of those making the request. “It was certainly considered unwise not to send the full documentation and risk complaints that we had failed to do so.

Whether you are purchasing your first home or your next home, refinancing or investing in property, Bendigo Bank offers you the freedom and flexibility to make your home loan work for you.

“I am unaware of any harassment of any members. However, I am frequently being advised of outlandish, incorrect rumours being put about regarding the performance space being a massive building and of a concrete car park being proposed. “The performance space has a footprint of only 250 square metres, equal to one per cent of the park, compared with the council’s nearby building, including the library, almost four times the size at 940 square metres. Neither are massive.” Mr Atkins said there would be no increase in car parking, nor would there

be any other building built in the park. “If the vote is sufficient to change the association’s rules in the manner sought then as far as the committee of management is concerned, the project would be dead. “This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lost to offer the community of Ocean Grove a ‘cultural heart’ to the town.” Mr Atkins also reiterated that discussions between Trust for Nature, and the City of Greater Geelong about a transfer of ownership had been discontinued and would not be revisited.

BARWON COAST UPDATE BARWON Coast, your local coastal foreshore manager, has the responsibility for the management of 13 kilometres of coastal Crown land from Collendina to Black Rock 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. Our committee members are all local residents from Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads and are appointed by the state government following the public advertising for expressions of interest.

Port of Barwon Heads Barwon Coast is delegated by the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure to manage the local Port of Barwon Heads The Port of Barwon Heads area includes the Barwon River downstream of Sheepwash Road, Barwon Heads to the river’s mouth. The port also extends 200 metres seaward from the low-tide line. Ongoing significant movements of sand along the river have resulted in the sand banks on the Ocean Grove side of the river expanding out towards the navigation channel and extra care should be taken when navigating the river at low tide. The navigation channel under the bridge has already been moved one bay to the west to address the sand movements.

Bellarine Coastal Hazards and Vulnerability Study The Bellarine Peninsula was selected by the state government as one of four locations where a greater

assessment on the potential impacts of climate change would be undertaken. The area under review is from Thompsons Creek Breamlea to Pt Henry and the inner Bay to Pt Wilson. The assessments, initially known as Local Coastal Hazard Assessments, will include detailed localised data capture including catchment inundation, storm surge, erosion hazards, ecological/infrastructure assets along with the identification of localised adaption responses. Barwon Coast is participating in the working group established for the project and has committed $60,000 towards the study costs. A number of Barwon Coast-built assets along our area of coastline will be reviewed to assess what if any possible risk exists from the potential impacts of climate change. In recent days, the Ocean Grove beach took a pounding from the storms and a number of beach access stairs have been significantly damaged.

Ocean Grove Coastcare Ocean Grove Coastcare (OGCC) were successful in receiving a Coastcare Victoria Community Grant of $6,760. The funds will be used to continue work in removing one of the major weeds of our region Bellarine Pea (Polygala myrtifolia) from the dunes around 16 - 17W on the Ocean Grove Spit. As part of our support of the local group we have offered OGCC space to locate a shed funded by another grant to store all their equipment rather than being at the home of volunteers.

Plastic bag free We have been heavily involved with the Barwon

Heads Sustainability Group during the development and launch of their Plastic Bag Free Barwon Heads project under the banner of “Let our sea be plastic bag free”. We are now assisting the Ocean Grove Coastcare to launch their Plastic Bag Free campaign for Ocean Grove. These programs aim to increase the use of reusable bags (jute bags available) as poorly discarded plastic bags can enter the river and ocean via the stormwater drainage system endangering marine and birdlife. I encourage you to contact me to discuss any issues related to coastal management in our region by phoning me on 5254 1118. Bob Jordan General Manager

Eric Tolliday residents’ future uncertain BY REBECCA LAUNER RESIDENTS of Point Lonsdale’s Eric Tolliday Units have been informed their future at the site will remain uncertain for the next 12 months. Bellarine Community Health (BCH) chief executive officer John Fendyk reportedly told residents during a meeting last week that they might have to vacate their units. Ann Nichol, honorary secretary for the entire Ann Nichol House project, said once again the announcement by BCH was very difficult to understand, from an historical point of view as well as a community service point of view. “The first eight units were built in 1982 and the remaining eight in 1984,” Ms Nichol said. “They have provided valuable community accommodation for older residents who understood they would be offered residential aged care

accommodation at Coorabin should they require it in later life. “Sadly, with the closure of the 40-bed Coorabin facility last year that option is no longer available and it seems the residents are now being told they will need to vacate their units anyway.” Mr Fendyk confirmed he met with residents of the Eric Tolliday Units and did inform them a decision on plans for the Point Lonsdale site was expected within the next 12 months. “We will communicate with the residents on any decision when any announcement is made for the site,” Mr Fendyk said. “We understand that residents have a contract with BCH, which is being honoured.” Ms Nichol said with the number of older people on the Bellarine significantly increasing over the next decade, the community needed to plan now for a range of residential and other services to meet the

needs of older people for many years to come. MEANWHILE, Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville said the state government had removed the health and community services protection of land Ann Nichol House is situated, enabling it to be used for any purpose. Ms Neville said the change of status made it much easier for that land to be sold. “This seems to me to be a government who through this decision has acted totally against the interests of the community and voices of the community asking for the government’s help,” she said. Also, about 80 people turned out on Sunday at Portarlington to express their support for Ann Nichol

House to remain a not-for-profit aged care facility. Everyone at the meeting, Ms Nichol, Ms Neville and Councillor Lindsay Ellis, moved to support two motions. Motion one was to oppose the sale of Ann Nichol House by BCH to a private owner/operator, call on BCH to halt all negotiations for a sale until agreement is reached about the future of Ann Nichol House with the community and those who contributed to its establishment, and call on the state government to intervene to prevent BCH from selling Ann Nichol House to a private owner/operator. Motion two called on BCH to halt all consideration of closing or selling the Eric Tolliday units.

Flapper soars to podium finish BY TIFFANY PILCHER ELITE lawn bowler Matt Flapper will return to Ocean Grove with his maiden Commonwealth Games bronze medal. Flapper clinched the medal in the Men’s Fours competition at the Glasgow Games alongside Wayne Ruediger, Brett Wilkie and Nathan Rice on Friday. They were up against India, and despite a scratchy start for the Aussies, they found their feet and clinched victory with a final score of 15-14. “It was intense, we had to rebound after a loss” Flapper said. “India played exceptionally well but we scratched our way through.

“The support we got was amazing, almost as loud as the Scots – we won the medal for us, but we won it for them as well.” Scotland and England fought it out for the gold medal with the host nation securing the win. The bronze contributed to Australia’s relatively dismal medal tally. In their worst overall performance at the games since 1986, the final haul of 49 gold, 42 silver and 46 bronze medals put the Aussie team 37 points behind tally winners England, with Canada coming in third. Australia’s shot at redemption will be boosted by a home crowd at the 2018 Commonwealth Games to be held on the Gold Coast.

GREEN THE COAST COLUMN

Community urged to bin bad behaviour SEAL the Loop bins are to be installed at Moggs Creek and Eastern View fishing locations to encourage proper disposal of fishing waste and reduce threats to marine life. Zoo’s Victoria, in partnership with Melbourne Zoo Community, have donated three Seal the Loop bins to the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) after the popular fishing spots were identified as litter hot spots. Conservation officer Danielle Knox said incorrectly discarded fishing waste can be mistaken as food and ingested by wildlife which can be passed on to their young and result in injury or death. “Thirty species of marine animal including seabirds, turtles, whales, dolphins and sharks are listed as ‘at risk’ of injury and fatality caused by ingestion of, or entanglement in, harmful marine debris.” Seal the Loop bins are already installed in Lorne, Torquay and Anglesea and research shows the bins are helping in the fight to reduce marine wildlife entanglement rates. According to Zoo’s Victoria, a 2013 study revealed that 56 per cent of coast users who came across a Seal the Loop bin changed their waste disposal behaviour as a result. GORCC outdoor works supervisor

Phil Brown said litter was an ongoing issue on the coast. “The litter ends up back in the ocean where it can harm both marine life and beachgoers.” While GORCC staff undertake regular beach clean ups, litter remains a problem, particularly in more popular fishing areas. “The new bin locations have been chosen based on popular fishing spots where litter has been identified as an issue,” Mr Brown said. Ms Knox urged community members and local anglers to take care when disposing of fishing waste. “If there is not a Seal the Loop bin in your area, you can ask your local council to sign up for a bin which are offered free of charge to any organisation, council or group who agree to install and maintain them,” she said. If you notice any injured or distressed marine wildlife, please call the AGL Marine Response Unit team on 0447 158 676. Visit zoo.org.au/sealtheloop for further information regarding Seal the Loop bins, including a registration forms and details.

Agent fears Drysdale can’t support fourth supermarket BY REBECCA LAUNER

LOCAL real estate identity Bob Gartland fears the only way Drysdale will be able to support a fourth ‘big box’ supermarket is at the expense of traders. Mr Gartland, who represents clients with retail and business premises in the town, said the proposed Coles supermarket in Murradoc Road would only end negatively for other food and grocery businesses in Drysdale. “It all stems from a sustainability notion that creating over supply will only create an imbalance in the market,” Mr Gartland said. “The council’s own independent economic impact assessment showed that there will be a 37 per cent

loss of trade for existing food and grocery traders and a loss of 50 jobs, which would make a huge impact on a place like Drysdale. I am all for development but it needs to be sustainable and in a situation like this it can only have a negative impact – I don’t see a need for a fourth ‘big box’ supermarket in the town.” Mr Gartland said demand and supply needed to be intelligently managed or the result would be very damaging for existing traders. “Coles even did a report that suggested a decline in trade by 46 per cent, so anecdotally all the evidence is steering us towards a future that isn’t sustainable. “In reality, Drysdale can’t support it and if it does, it will be at the expense of local traders. “You just have to look at what happened to

the shops in Moorabool Street in Geelong when Westfield Shopping Centre expanded. “It absolutely slaughtered Moorabool Street and it still hasn’t recovered many years later.” Mr Gartland said the City of Greater Geelong had one chance to make the right decision, because if it made a fundamental error it would cause a negative effect on Drysdale’s business precinct for generations to come. Mr Gartland said many of his clients had voiced serious concern that the proposed Coles supermarket would have a negative impact in the town for businesses and investments. Submissions to the council’s public consultation process closed on Monday.

Entrance to proposed station drives concern BY REBECCA LAUNER

A DRYSDALE and Clifton Springs action group is concerned about the safety of the rear entrance of a proposed service station on Jetty Road. The Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA) has expressed concern to the City of Greater Geelong about the safety of the entrance in respect to its location and design. Milemaker Petroleum has made an application for a service station to be constructed at 331-345 Jetty Road, Drysdale

Secretary Neil McGuinness said the group highlighted seven major safety concerns and blamed the developer’s short term priorities, which included minimising cost and taking up the smallest amount of land for infrastructure. “The priorities of the people of Greater Geelong would be totally different and would have many long term benefits, including the safety of all users (pedestrians, cyclists and drivers), efficiency of traffic flow, minimising fuel usage, minimising pollution, minimising noise and optimising beautification.” “I have not seen any evidence that these priorities

Last week’s wild weather left its mark on the Ocean Grove coast, with two sets of access stairs undermined by the large swells and high tides. Barwon Coast general manager Bob Jordan said the big seas had significantly eroded the dunes, leaving fences hanging in the air and stairs in need of repair work. “We should have one set of stairs repaired by the end of the week,” he said. “The other set will take longer to repair due to more extensive damage to the dune. The main concern is the linking of the stairs back into the dunes.”

even rate a mention in the decision making process.” Mr McGuinness said the entrance would create 18 “areas of conflict” which might result in collisions. “Four of these ‘areas of conflict’ are between vehicles and cyclists, which could result in serious injury or a fatality. Four of these ‘areas of conflict’ are potential frontal or ‘T Bone’ collisions between vehicles which could result in serious injury.” He said the design required vehicles entering and exiting the service station from/to the Jetty Road north bound carriageway to cross from opposite directions in the middle of the road.

First shot commemorated BY REBECCA LAUNER

YOUNG and old turned out at Fort Queenscliff and across the bay at Point Nepean on Tuesday to mark 100 years since the outbreak of World War I. The commemoration involved a service of remembrance, a dedication of a memorial and a firing of the Queenscliff Fort’s saluting battery. Wreaths were laid to honour the memory of those who served our great nation. Fort Queenscliff is the site where the order was given to fire the first shot by the British Empire of World War I, while Point Nepean is from where the shot was fired. The shot was Australia’s first action of the war from which more than 61,000 Australians made the ultimate sacrifice. School children, parents and volunteers

joined current and former servicemen and women for the service. Federal Member for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said she was honoured to be in attendance at the Queenscliff service. “One hundred years ago, the order to fire the first shot of the war was made from the fort. “The shot was made from Point Nepean across the bow of the German merchant ship, the SS Pfalz, as it tried to leave Port Phillip Bay hours after the British Empire declared war on Germany. “This is the first of a number of World War I milestones which we will commemorate together over the next four years. “That so many school children attended the commemoration was a reminder of the significance of this event, one hundred years on.”

Bellarine SES on Minister marks the start the look out for of new roundabout new members BY REBECCA LAUNER

BY REBECCA LAUNER

THE Bellarine SES unit is now recruiting new members to help keep the community safe. The Victoria State Emergency Service is the control agency for floods, storms, earthquakes and tsunamis and also undertakes road crash rescue. Bellarine SES controller Dion Henderson said volunteering was a rewarding way of helping and giving back to the community. “The SES is a great place to meet new and exciting people and the unit always welcomes newcomers,” Mr Henderson said. “We are always on the lookout for more members, especially people who are available for day time response as it can often be difficult as many people

work outside of the area during the day, but we also need night time responders as well.” Volunteers receive accredited, recognised training as part of their role, which may include rescue skills, chainsaw operations or securing a roof in a storm. SES units also assist other emergency services at incidents such as searches and rescues. As well as emergency response, SES volunteers engage with the community to help them prepare for disasters. The Bellarine unit trains each Thursday evening and is located at 702 Grubb Road, Drysdale. If you would like to learn more about becoming an SES volunteer contact the Bellarine Unit on 0427 074 029, email bellarine@ses.vic.gov.au or visit the website at bellarineses.org.au.

MEMBER of Parliament Terry Mulder has officially turned the first sod to mark the start of the construction of a new roundabout at Queenscliff. The Minister for Public Transport and Roads visited the construction site of the Hesse Street roundabout last week with Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Helene Cameron to inspect the preliminary works and survey the implementation plans. “The Hesse Street roundabout project in Queenscliff is one of the council’s highest priority road projects and will provide immediate community benefits and improved road safety,” Mr Mulder said. He said the roundabout at the intersection of Hesse, Wharf and Symonds streets at Queenscliff had been pursued by the council and local community for well over a decade. “The project will improve traffic flow,

complement the existing roundabouts along Hesse Street and establish important pedestrian safety refuges,” Mr Mulder said. As part of the project, the A.W. Hodgetts Reserve in Symonds Street will be enlarged with additional parkland and there will be no loss of car parks. It will also undergo beautification works and landscaping. Cr Cameron said she was thrilled the much needed road safety project was finally under way. “We’ve been talking to the community about the need for this roundabout since 1998 and on behalf of the borough I am delighted our community needs have been acknowledged. “We simply would not have been able to deliver this vital road safety improvement project without the funding support provided through the state government’s Country Roads and Bridges program.”

Councillors hail bus driver in G21 transport plan BY JAMES TAYLOR

The G21 Public Transport Strategy calls for improved bus services in the Surf Coast Shire. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

THE Surf Coast Shire has expressed its support for the local initiatives contained in the final version of the G21 Public Transport Strategy. The project, which began in January 2013, aims to increase the use of public transport across the G21 region, and thus reduce traffic congestion, improve the environment and overcome social isolation. It lists a series of priorities to be carried out over the next four years. Initiatives that particularly help the Surf Coast include encouraging Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and coach operators to research and trial new vehicles for longer distance bus services in the region, with better accessibility and more luggage storage; and encouraging the building of transport hubs, particularly in major regional towns. The strategy supports trialling a flexible service that uses a smaller vehicle, which could be part of simplifying the Bellarine or Surf Coast bus network. It also advocates an increase in service levels between Geelong, Colac, Warrnambool, Ballarat

(serving Bannockburn) and Apollo Bay to five services daily in the short-term, using coaches primarily but trains where feasible. Actions to benefit the whole G21 region include requesting PTV publish a Rail Corridor Development Plan for the Geelong Rail Line, including potential extension to Torquay; advocating for an urgent boost to weekend services; and advocating the priority development of a real-time information system for G21 region bus services.

Bushfire management overlays to spark certainty BY DEAN WEBSTER RECENT changes to Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bushfire planning regulations will give greater certainty to residents and landowners in bushfire designated areas across Victoria, according to the state government, who last week endorsed the most recent Bushfire Management Overlays (BMO). The changes were proposed to help Victorians address the challenges of living in areas of bushfire risk and make it easier for many landowners to

develop their land, clear vegetation, and use bushfire defences tailored to their property. In our region, these recent provisions mainly affect residents and landowners in the Surf Coast, specifically bushfire prone areas from Jan Juc and Bellbrae along the Great Ocean Road down to Lorne and into the hinterland. In the Surf Coast Shire, the overlay will affect around 11 per cent of landowners or nearly 2,700 properties. Surf Coast mayor Cr Rose Hodge welcomed the

might affect them.â&#x20AC;? The Department of Planning and Community Development, who are responsible for implementing the BMO, say the reforms provide sensible planning measures and regulations to be considered, which may enable people to reduce their defendable space and build to a lower Bushfire Attack Level rating.

Cr Hodge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These changes will give more property owners certainty, particularly in established urban areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning staff are always happy to work with property owners on how the revised overlay

Reef and river float to the top at fishing forum BY JAMES TAYLOR AN ARTIFICAL reef off the coast of Torquay and the health of the Anglesea River were hot topics at a fishing forum in Torquay last week. About 40 people attended the forum held at the Torquay Angling Club – one of a series being hosted across the state by Fisheries Victoria to gather feedback. Fisheries Victoria senior research scientist Paul Hamer gave a presentation about the Torquay artificial reef, which will be located almost four kilometres to the east of the boat ramp at Fisherman’s Beach. The reef will features 25 concrete cube modules, arranged in five clusters of five at a depth of between 26-28 metres. The modules will be dropped into the water between February and March, and Dr Hamer said they would immediately start accumulating growth and algae, which would attract bait fish and in turn larger fish. “Often you’ll find the same day you put a structure down, fish will turn up and start using it.” However, he said it would take one to two years for a population of fish to stabilise around the reef. VRFish board member Trevor Buck gave an update on the campaign to improve the quality of the Anglesea River. He said VRFish had joined a working group that would look to conduct an independent study into why fish kill events kept occurring and what could be done to stop them. “We’re not looking to blame anyone; we have a ‘no-blame bonus’ and it starts now. “Opening the river mouth might help in the short term, but we don’t want to have to do it time

and time again. “The shire and the Corangamite CMA have previously said ‘it’s a natural event, there’s nothing we can do about it’ – that’s not good enough.” He said VRFish was also seeking feedback on its wish list for the 2014 state election.

Meanwhile, a $270,000 state government project will use native flat oysters raised at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries’ Queenscliff hatchery to re-establish shellfish presence on reefs in Port Phillip Bay, including near Geelong.

Deans Marsh Transfer Station to close in October BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire is going ahead with its plan to shut the Deans Marsh Transfer Station, and intends to fully close the facility by the end of October. The council has been considering the future of the facility on Pennyroyal Station Road since last year, and began works in February to cap and rehabilitate the site to meet with Environment Protection Authority guidelines. A temporary transfer station now operates on the site, but the council undertook a review of the site before deciding to reconstruct the permanent station. The review found only 12 paying customers used the facility on average each week. The station has a net operating cost of $38,598 per year, and reconstructing the permanent station will cost between $220,000 and $370,000. The review also found a large proportion of the material could be disposed of through the existing kerbside collection service offered by the council, and there were three other options for waste disposal – Winchelsea, Lorne and Anglesea – within 40 minutes’ drive and with longer opening hours. Councillors endorsed the closure at their meeting last week. Lorne Ward councillor Clive Goldsworthy supported the decision at the meeting, saying “economically, the numbers don’t stack up”. Shire director of infrastructure Sunil Bhalla said Deans Marsh residents could also use the shire’s on-call hard waste collection service, and the annual hard waste voucher could be used to subsidise the cost.

Nanofibre project reaches big milestone BY JAMES TAYLOR

A COLLABORATION in Waurn Ponds between training providers, industry and government celebrated a milestone last week, with construction complete on a world-first short nanofibre manufacturing plant. The Geelong Future Industry Project (GFIP), which was supported by $500,000 from the state government’s Skilling the Bay Initiative, was built by biotechnology company Cytomatrix, Geelong-based engineering firm Austeng and

Deakin University. Minister for Higher Education and Skills Nick Wakeling visited GFIP at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus last week, and said the worldfirst plant demonstrated the importance of effective collaborations between training providers, industry and government. “The short nanofibre technology has enormous potential to create jobs in a range of innovative areas, including medical sciences and biotechnology. “Cytomatrix will be working with students

from Deakin University, while Austeng engages vocational training students from The Gordon and engineering students from Deakin to develop vital skills within Geelong’s transforming manufacturing sector.” South Barwon MP Andrew Katos joined Liberal candidate for Geelong Paula Kontelj at the tour, and said the plant’s completion would create significant opportunities for students at The Gordon and Deakin University. Mr Wakeling said the Napthine government’s $11 million Skilling the Bay initiative was

engaging young people in training and employment, enabling industries to adopt new technologies and improving the skills of adults at risk of long-term unemployment. “This commitment is on top of the Napthine Government’s record $1.2 billion a year investment to build a better vocational training system for all Victorians.” Skilling the Bay is being led by The Gordon in partnership with Deakin University, local industry and community organisations in Geelong.

COTTON On Kids has opened the doors to its largest store yet in its hometown of Geelong. Last Thursday night, parents had a sneak peek at the brand’s flagship store in Market Square, which replaces the existing store in the shopping centre. To celebrate the opening, a range of activities for children took place in store from Friday to Sunday, including face painting, nail art, styling sessions and balloon artists. Cotton On Kids in Market Square offers an extended range of children’s and baby fashion essentials, stationery, accessories and the new bedroom range under the one roof. The brand’s size 9-14 category, Free by Cotton On, will also introduce its fun, affordable and ageappropriate collections to the ‘tweens’ of Geelong in the new store.

Funds for retraining boosted in Whittington BY JAMES TAYLOR A $43,000 state government grant to Bellarine Living and Learning Centre will provide new opportunities for people to re-engage in education and training. Minister for Higher Education and Skills Nick Wakeling announced the funding at the centre in Whittington last week. He said the funding, which was awarded through round six of the Capacity and Innovation Fund, would help the Learn Local organisation respond to the specific needs of residents in Leopold and neighbouring areas. “Our investment will deliver real benefits, particularly for people who wish to re-skill and transition to new careers. “More than 300 Learn Locals across Victoria provide a range of high-quality training programs in a community-based environment, with a focus on supporting people who face barriers to participation in training.

“This grant will enable Bellarine Living and Learning Centre to develop and implement the New Learning Opportunities for Leopold project.” Mr Wakeling said the sixth round of grants would contribute to 37 new projects initiated by Learn Local organisations, bringing the Coalition government’s total investment through the fund to $18.02 million since 2011. Since 2010, the number of Victorians enrolling in government subsidised training courses at Learn Locals has increased by 15 per cent. “The Napthine government is investing a record $1.2 billion per year in vocational education and training, to enable all Victorians to develop the skills they need to achieve meaningful employment opportunities,” Mr Wakeling said.

Heads and Grove get a toddlers dance school

Local ballet students Umi and Skye practise their ballet at Tinkerballerinas and Tough Boys Dance, a local under fives-only ballet school.

OCEAN Grove and Barwon Heads have their very own dance school catering solely for dancers under the age of five. “Tinkerballerinas and Tough Boys Dance” is run by local Kim Fraser with separate classes for children aged 1.5-plus, 2.5-plus and 3.5-plus. “I’ve created a dance class to cater to the abilities of each age group in a fun and structured way,” she said. What Tinkerballerinas and Tough Boys Dance want to share with their little dancers is the pure joy of dance – how wonderful it is to dance to

classical music. “Our aim is to strengthen the mind/body connection through softly teaching the principles of classical ballet,” Ms Fraser said. “We use a lot of props and imaginative storytelling through class so we can gently teach the fundamentals like plies, port de bras and pirouettes while having fun. “This prepares them beautifully for when we start teaching them their technical classes at the age of five.” The classes are fun in nature and open to all girls

and boys in the area. Tinkerballerinas and Tough Boys Dance is offering a complimentary trial class to all new students in term three. Bookings are available through the Tinkerballerinas and Tough Boys Dance website at torquaydanceacademy.com.au via the contact page, or call Kim Fraser on 0424 400 437.

Frozen fun at Baby and Kids Market

Willow Star performed children’s favourite songs and there was an indoor blizzard at the Frozen show at the Surf Coast Baby and Kids Market on the weekend.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER

HUNDREDS of shoppers flocked to the Surf Coast Baby and Kids Market over the weekend to browse and purchase locally made goods and catch a special Frozeninspired performance by Willow Star. Groups of children used instruments and jumped up on their feet to play, sing and dance along with their favourite songs from the hit Disney movie as well as a few other children’s favourites. Willow Star was dressed as Frozen’s Princess Elsa, Princess Anna and snowman Olaf also made an appearance and there was a rush to the dance floor when foamy snow began falling during the song “Let It Go”.

Mountain runner off to world champs BY TIFFANY PILCHER TORQUAY runner Gemma Kenessy is conquering the world one mountain at a time. The primary school teacher and marathon runner has been chosen to represent Australia at the World Mountain Running Championships to be held in Tuscany next month. Ms Kenessy’s love of nature, natural endurance and strength in uphill running have seen her successfully pursue the sport recently, and she qualified fourth for the Australian team last month in Canberra without training for the event. “For some reason I’ve just always been good

at running up hills, I’ve got strong legs and am not too heavy so I think that has helped a lot,” she said. “Realistically I don’t think I can win against women from around the world who live in the mountains and have been training for this for years, so my goal is to run the whole course without walking and come first in the Australian team.” Ms Kenessy is now training six days a week for the gruelling competition, squeezing in sessions before and after work and taking longer runs on weekends. She covers around 80 to 100 kilometres per

Statement of support for the ‘Shut It Down’ campaign In circumstances where the Alcoa Anglesea brown coal mine and power station: • Emits a toxic cocktail of pollutants, including particulates (recognised carcinogens), Sulphur Dioxide (a signiﬁcant respiratory irritant), Arsenic, Lead and Mercury; • Is the equal third highest emitter of Sulphur Dioxide in Australia [39,000,000 kg], with the only higher emitters (Bayswater in the Hunter Valley [63,000,000 kg] and Loy Yang in the Latrobe Valley [49,000,000 kg]) producing 17.6 and 14.7 times more electricity than Anglesea respectively;

• No longer has a social licence to continue operating after the closure of the Alcoa Point Henry Smelter; which the facility was constructed to feed; and • Produces dirty power that is not needed by an already heavily oversupplied National Electricity Market; the following organisations support Surf Coast Air Action’s ongoing campaign to urge Alcoa to shut down the plant and rehabilitate the mine and to ask any potential purchasers or investors to publicly rule out interest in the plant or mine:

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Small business festival starts with an economic breakfast BY JAMES TAYLOR

WESTPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Evans has again shared his thoughts on the national and global economy to start this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geelong Small Business Festival. The chief economist from the bank addressed a crowd of about 270 at the Westpac Economic Breakfast, held at The Pier on Friday morning. Mr Evans spoke about interest rates, the Australian dollar, the federal budget, business and consumer conďŹ dence, household wealth and savings, industry employment, the housing market, and world growth. He said interest rates were very unlikely to fall any further, and the Australian dollar would drop to 90 cents against the US dollar by the end of the year but be at parity in 2016.

Australian growth is predicted to hit 3.5 per cent in 2016 but fall to less than half of that in 2018, similar to the global trend. Health and education, household and business services, and construction will be Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industries of the future, while mining is ďŹ&#x201A;at-lining ahead of a sudden drop and construction continues to decline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The jobs market has been interesting, and a lot of the change mirrors what has happened in this region,â&#x20AC;? Mr Evans said. Australia did not have a ďŹ scal crisis, he said, yet the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor handling of the budget had negatively affected business conďŹ dence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Mr Evans said was slowly recovering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and $25 billion of its $38 billion in proposed savings were

being opposed in the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parliament has risen for the winter but clearly, we need to see the government already working on a compromise,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the Australian people cannot have is gridlock for the next six months. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relatively optimistic, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very conditional on some rationality coming into the Senate.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the Geelong Small Business Festival comes to Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council chambers next week with a forum featuring panelists Alistair Lawson from Great Ocean Road Surf Tours, High Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Katherine Richardson and Saltair Day Spaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Melis. It will be held on Wednesday from 5.30-7.30pm. For more information, phone 5224 7749 or email emma.mulraney@crowehorwath.com.au.

INVENTORS have one last chance to see their ideas become a reality with entries for the 2014 Innovation Challenge closing on Monday August 11. The challenge, presented by Shell and The Australian, aims to uncover and foster local and professional innovations created by people working in a variety of ďŹ elds from universities, top laboratories, start-up companies, and communities to local schools and backyard sheds. The winner of each category receives $5,000 toward further development, commercialisation or adoption of their innovation with an overall winner taking home an additional $25,000.

Has your old lounge suite had its day?

In 2012, Jan Juc inventor Frank Will won the challenge with a new system designed to cut fuel consumption in cars. The OVER7 system transfers heat from the exhaust gases to the oil, thinning the lubricant to further reduce friction between engine parts. This allows for a seven per cent reduction in consumption by recovering and redirecting wasted heat. Entries by individuals and groups will be accepted. To view the category deďŹ nitions, visit theaustralian.com.au/innovationchallenge. The deadline for entries is 11.59pm AEST on Monday August 11, for more information or to enter, visit theaustralian.com.au/innovationchallenge.

Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven supply upgrade Dear Editor, I would like to set the record straight on a number of issues relating to the proposed upgrade of the Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven water supply. Firstly, no decision has been made on the options. Barwon Water has presented information on the pipeline and the treatment plant to ensure the community is well-informed on the advantages and disadvantages of both options. A recurring theme in the feedback to date is that Painkalac Reservoir is a safe, secure and droughtproof supply. The Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven supply system is not drought-proof. It is solely reliant on rainfall, making it vulnerable to climate uncertainty. Between 2005 and 2007, reservoir levels dropped to around 30 per cent and an algal bloom triggered the need for restrictions. During the peak of the drought, a small volume of water was trucked from Aireys Inlet to houses and businesses outside the supply zone. However, this was equivalent to just three days’ supply. Another concern is that should the pipeline be selected, residents would be subject to water restrictions. We have heard numerous times that Anglesea and Geelong are now under restrictions. This is not the case. The greater Geelong supply system, like Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven, is under the Permanent Water Saving Plan. Barwon Water’s investment in additional water sources means supplies are secure and water restrictions will be unlikely in the Greater Geelong area for several decades. Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven’s usage equates to approximately 0.5 per cent of the Geelong region’s water use, ensuring the Geelong supply system can adequately supply Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven without adversely affecting the Geelong system’s security. Regarding the previous financial investment by residents, this occurred when the towns had their own water board. Following amalgamation, Barwon Water took over the existing assets, which continue

to be maintained at a cost to all customers. This amalgamation saw customers in Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven receive a reduction in their water and sewerage bills. The cost of supplying treated water and sewerage services (including capital projects) for Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven is shared across the broader Barwon Water customer base. Without this cross subsidy, Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven customers would pay almost double for water and sewerage services. I would encourage the community to attend this Saturday’s information session between 10am and 2pm at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall, where Barwon Water representatives will be available to answer questions and take feedback. Paul Northey General Manager Infrastructure Services, Barwon Water

Paramedics take issue with pay deal offer Dear Editor, I wish to correct some factual errors in Minister for Health David Davis’ letter (“Paramedics getting a good deal in new offer”, July 31). 1. The government has offered paramedics a 12 per cent wage increase over the next 3 years. Our wages have been frozen since April 2011, so the offer includes that time, i.e. over five years. Twelve per cent over five years is 2.4 per cent per annum, less than government wages policy. 2. The minister claims paramedics earn $100,000 per annum. I’m a paramedic educator, the most senior clinical position available to an advanced life support paramedic. My base wage is about $58,000; and last financial year, because I work days, nights, weekends, public holidays and compulsory overtime, my income was about $76,000. 3. The rural reserve system proposed by Ambulance Victoria (AV) will enable AV to send paramedics away from their families to any location for unspecified periods of time. We all support greater

flexibility in assignment, but this is just unfair. 4. We have five weeks of annual leave like any other shift worker. In addition, we accrue several hours per week in compulsory overtime and get time in lieu of the public holidays we work. We are allocated this as leave throughout the year, as directed by our employer. We work hard. We try to keep the public informed. These are the facts. It is very disappointing to see a publicly elected official spreading falsehoods in an obvious attempt to sway public opinion against paramedics. Kevin Sullivan Ocean Grove

Dear Editor, The public response to the closure of Alcoa has focused on the effect this will have on the retrenched workers. We all wish them the very best for the future. There have also been the usual smug comments from the Greens secretly rejoicing that yet another ‘big polluter’ has bitten the dust. However, I want to thank Alcoa – and Ford, and all those other industries who have supported Geelong over the past five plus decades. Not only have these and other companies provided steady and wellpaid employment for many Geelong workers, they have also pumped millions of dollars back into the Geelong region. I for one am sorry to see them go. Geelong and its people have done very well out of Alcoa and Ford. I take my hat off to them. These companies did not want to close but the federal government’s obsession with free trade has slowly and surely decimated Australian industry over the years so their hands were forced. So thank you again Alcoa and Ford for a job well done. Hopefully someday in the future we may yet see you both back in the Geelong region. Alan Barron Grovedale

Warralily leading the way BY DEAN WEBSTER

WARRALILY is leading the way in the creation of best practise residential development not only in Geelong but also across Victoria, according to RPM Real Estate Group. This is confirmed by sales figures and recent accolades, including becoming the first development in the region to be awarded UDIA EnviroDevelopment certification and winning the recent Geelong Business Excellence Award for the Sustainable Business category. RPM sales director Luke Kelly said that present market growth was being driven by an increase in residential developments on offer, with Geelong’s Warralily coming out as the top choice for land purchasers across Victoria. “While both Melbourne and Geelong markets are experiencing growth on previous years, the Geelong and Bellarine residential land market is outshining the Melbourne market,” he said. “We are seeing price stabilisation and improved levels of consumer confidence, but the driving force in the market is the dramatic increase in choice created by the burgeoning presence of new estates. There are more than 180 developments on the market in Victoria compared to fewer than 100 to choose from four years ago; this creates a healthy

environment of competition that is benefiting the purchaser.” Warralily's general manager of development Mark Whinfield said he was very pleased with the fantastic sales success. “This is recognition of the great benefits that Warralily has to offer families. It is also a reflection of the very strong residential market in Geelong. “I would like to thank all our purchasers who have shown confidence in Warralily and our brilliant team who have helped make us the number one selling project in Victoria.” Mr Kelly said that a well-planned, value-driven and community-focused development was the key to attracting buyers in today’s market; gone are the days of simply subdividing land and putting it on the market to sell at a slow rate. “People are attracted to master-planned communities where there is a clear vision of providing all the facilities and amenities families need every day. “Eight years of planning went into Warralily before being released on the market in mid 2010; planning that assured Warralily would be a vibrant, integrated and sustainable community.” Warralily has more than 1,300 lots to date, with 1,118 of those lots titled, more than 600 homes built and 1,700 residents calling the estate home.

Candidates spell it out for the Cats BY JAMES TAYLOR THEY might be in different parties and competing against each other in the coming state election, but the standing candidates in the Geelong region have one thing in common – their support for the Cats. In a public show of support for the Geelong Football Club, incumbent Liberal South Barwon MP Andrew Katos, Labor candidate for South Barwon Andy Richards, incumbent Bellarine MP Lisa Neville and Liberal candidate for Geelong Paula Kontelj braved Thursday’s wind gusts to launch the latest rearrangement of Villawood Properties’ giant corten steel letters on the Geelong Ring Road in Waurn Ponds. The sculpture, which has been changed to read ‘Go Cats’ ahead of the coming AFL ﬁnals, was complete with a 2.5-metre cut-out of the Geelong Football

Club mascot Half Cat, and was unveiled with the real Half Cat and Geelong player Tom Lonergan in attendance. Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe said that the sculpture was as much about supporting the city’s AFL team as it was a show of support for Geelong itself. “We’re passionate about the Geelong region and one of the most important things to this community is their mighty Cats. “We’ve built a strong relationship with the club and we’re proud to be a long-term sponsor and supporter. We thought it would be a bit of fun to get the local candidates down in their Geelong gear to be part of the unveiling.” There has been much interest and widespread attention on the letters since they were ﬁrst placed on the site.

Mixed reaction during homemade butter tasting ANGLESEA Primary School pupils have enjoyed a series of fun activities in the past month, with educational visits from a leading chef and Chocko the Cow. Animals on the Move visited the school recently and pupils had an opportunity to see Chocko the Cow being milked and to attempt milking the cow themselves. They also learnt about the process of separating the milk from the cream using a separator and were actively involved in making butter using a butter churn. There was a mixed reaction to the tasting of the homemade butter.

Meanwhile, in a separate visit, Leonie Mills from Jack and Jill Restaurant spent time with the junior students talking about why fruit is good for you. She also demonstrated her creative skills and showed the students the amazing possibilities of creating edible art with fruit. Many students got to try new fruits and to enjoy the brilliant creations that Leonie made. A spokesperson for the school said the staff, students and parents were grateful to Harveys of Highton for their donation of the delicious fruit and Ms Mills for volunteering her time to promote the importance of healthy food choices.

Switch to PIN could catch businesses short MERCHANTS who haven’t adopted a PIN-only payment solution are putting their business at risk, an Australian bank has warned. As of Friday last week, the PIN is becoming the main form of authorisation for credit and debit card purchases in Australia. The industry-wide move will eventually phase in the PIN and phase out the signature entirely. However, Bendigo Bank head of access and payment systems Michael O’Shea said businesses had been reluctant to take up solutions for accepting PIN-only card payments. “We’ve contacted our business customers a number of times in recent months hoping to get them ahead of the game, but the take-up of new technologies has been slow.

“I’m sure many business operators don’t understand the risk they are taking. “Once banks turn off the signature option on customers’ cards, businesses without the ability to capture PIN will struggle to accept payments.” Starting with some of the nation’s largest merchants, the change will see all of Australia’s 800,000 merchant payment terminals undergo a software update to no longer accept signature as the main form of card authorisation for Australian cardholders.

Vet to hold workshop on care for injured WILDLIFE vet Dr Anne Fowler will present a workshop later this month on the latest achievements in the husbandry and diseases of orphaned native birds. The workshop, to be held in Apollo Bay, will also feature a general session on rehydration techniques for injured wildlife. This course is ideal for wildlife carers, vets, vet nurses, veterinary students and wildlife enthusiasts. Topics covered will include: • the handling, housing and dietary requirements of

common injured native birds • the various conditions that birds suffer – from husbandry-related, nutritional, infectious and traumatic presentations, and • rehabilitation and release techniques relating to work done on released animals. Otway Wildlife Group co-ordinator Willie Bedford said her organisation was delighted Dr Fowler was making the trip from Adelaide for the workshop. “We invite all other carers, vets and vet nurses to

join us and take advantage of this unique training opportunity. “Anne Fowler is a highly experienced veterinary surgeon who has true passion for and expert knowledge of Australian wildlife. “She is a highly respected, entertaining and much sought-after presenter who gives sound practical advice on rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. “Anne is also an experienced wildlife shelter operator herself, so she speaks ﬁrst-hand about

caring for wildlife.” The workshop will be held at the Marrar Woorn Community Centre, 6 Pengilley Avenue, Apollo Bay, on August 17 from 9am-5pm. Prior registrations are essential. Cost is $40, and includes registration fee, Bird Manual, lunch, afternoon and morning tea. For enquiries and/or registration, email wil@life.net.au with your name, address, phone, email address and your connection to wildlife care (e.g. shelter, carer, vet, vet nurse, etc.), or phone 0407 530 960.

ARENA backs report urging geothermal reboot BY JAMES TAYLOR A NEW report encouraging a reboot of Australian geothermal investment has been endorsed by the board of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The report, completed by ARENA’s International Geothermal Expert Group (IGEG) last month, looked into the barriers, risks and rewards of geothermal energy over the next 15 years. ARENA chair Greg Bourne said the group was convened to analyse the geothermal sector in Australia and present the board with options for realising the potential of geothermal in the coming decades. “We brought together internationally recognised experts with practical experience in geothermal drilling, reservoirs, geology and energy economics.” IGEG chair Professor Quentin Grafton said that the report included input from stakeholders and an in-depth study by CSIRO. “It ﬁnds that the upfront costs, particularly the

high costs of drilling before a resource can be proven, are a major risk for investors. “The report sets out the steps for developing an innovation roadmap for harnessing the potential of geothermal energy in Australia.” The report also found the Australian geothermal sector was “stalled, with very little activity under way”, with policy uncertainty about renewable energy cited as a key reason. In March, Greenearth Energy suspended work on its Anglesea geothermal energy project until at least May next year, noting the state government’s moratorium on fracking was a major inﬂuence on its decision. Mr Bourne said there was a need for a fresh approach to developing Australia’s geothermal potential by building on the successes to date and restoring investor conﬁdence. He said future policy and programs that supported the long-term commercial development of geothermal energy in Australia would make it a viable source of energy on a sustainable level without long-term subsidy. To read the report, head to arena.gov.au/igeg.

Adelaide wildlife veterinarian Dr Anne Fowler will hold a workshop on the proper care for unwell and injured birds – like this black shouldered kite – in Apollo Bay.

Anglesea Community House co-ordinator Alex Leknius and Spring Creek Community House co-ordinator Laura Connor at the opening of the Surf Coast U3A with volunteer Candice Warren, project officer Jenny Trezise, committee secretary Gail Rooney and calligraphy tutor Trevor Pickles.

Never stop learning with U3A After five years of planning, the University of the Third Age (U3A) returned to Spring Creek Community House (SCCH) this year, joining other community venues across the Surf Coast Shire.

pleasure”. There is no accreditation or validation and there are no assessments or qualifications to be gained. The university offers many other useful resources for older people, especially those who are geographically, physically or socially isolated. With classes aimed at mature age and older students, anyone who wants to is able to continue learning in a welcoming, social and interactive environment. Available courses at SCCH include calligraphy, French, Shakespeare for fun, globalisation and current issues, tarot for beginners, philosophy and mindfulness and meditation for beginners. U3A Surf Coast Committee president John McDonald said learning should not stop as people got older. “The U3A will provide social and intellectual

U3A is a world-first program, run entirely by volunteers for people no longer in full-time employment providing educational, creative and leisure opportunities in a friendly environment. The U3A approach to learning is “learning for

stimulation for people aged 50 years and over with classes designed to be enjoyable as well as educational.” U3A Surf Coast will continue to add courses as the year progresses. “We are extremely grateful to the Surf Coast people who have volunteered to run these courses,” Mr McDonald said. The return of U3A comes years after Geelong branch U3A tutor Faye Harrison first began delivering classes at SCCH. SCCH co-ordinator Laura Connor said Faye taught for 12 years and was loved by many. “Laughter would be heard coming from her vibrant classes and at times a crystal bell was used to bring down the volume,” she said. “Mah-jong and bridge still run in Torquay and many friendships have formed through all of

these classes.” In 2012, Ms Connor and Anglesea Community House co-ordinator Alex Leknius applied for a council grant to bring U3A to the five Community Houses in the Surf Coast Shire. Last year, members of the SCCH Board of Management, encouraged by local Rosemary Faris, committed to forming a working party to turn U3A from a dream in to a reality. With the successful grant, they hired project worker Jenny Trezise to form a committee to incorporate U3A and bring local learning to older residents of the Surf Coast. “Nothing beats living and learning locally, nor is it ever too late to learn,” Ms Connor said. Further information about U3A Surf Coast or to register to attend the meeting, please contact Jenny on 0423 153 953 or email u3asurfcoast@ gmail.com.

A better lifestyle at Sea Views Manor

Celebrating diversity at Eden Park AT EDEN Park, they acknowledge the depth of multiculturism in the community. Eden Park appreciates the different cultures that make up the Australian way of life. The lifestyle staff at Eden Park endeavour to celebrate days to create an awareness of the different cultures and events of the world through costumes, food, language and music from the region. Recently, they took the residents en route to Paris with French music, croissants and a visit from Marcel Marceau. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the ambience created by Eden Park’s wonderful lifestyle team. Eden Park’s next cultural day will be Italian Day when everyone will dine on pizza, pasta and gelato, play bocce and dance the Tarantella.

Ocean Grove’s Homestyle Aged Care Sea Views Manor prides itself on offering the best care and a relaxed and homelike environment for older members of the community.

Residents enjoy high quality personal care as the fully trained and qualified staff recognise their needs during a time of changing social and physiological needs. Quality of life is a priority at Sea Views Manor, with an optional activity program designed to engage residents in social events and activities that interest them as well as promoting a sense of community. Some of the activities include barbecues, picnics, bus trips, library visits, bingo, discussion groups and visiting entertainers. Staff are always willing to assist residents who wish to engage in different social activities including garden clubs, bowling clubs and church among others. All residents’ meals are prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked daily on site by qualified catering staff. The menu rotates every four weeks and is planned to provide a balanced diet with a wide variety of choices. Director of nursing Sharina Lynam said it was important that residents at Sea Views Manor received the best care and enjoy a comfortable and healthy lifestyle. “It’s a well established facility with excellent staffing ratios. “It’s our aim to give our staff the best of

everything and it’s a real community here. Because most of the residents are local as well, everyone knows everyone and that creates a nice ambience for the residents and the staff too.” She said the residents love the chance to participate in different activities such as their daily walking group. “We have a few groups that go out each day and they take morning tea or a trolley with supplies to have a cup of tea by the lake.

“They like being able to get out and about and the walking helps to prevent falls so it’s great for their health in many ways.” Walking group member Mariel Derrick agreed Sea Views Manor offers an ideal lifestyle. “The staff are very caring, the food is fantastic and everyone looks after each other, it’s a lovely place to be,” she said. “I’m very happy and at peace here.” For more information, phone Sea Views Manor on 5256 2866.

Curves Drysdale celebrates birthday Drysdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dorothy Wheelahan is proof that age is no barrier.

Mrs Wheelahan, 75, has been a member of Curves Drysdale since it opened in 2007 and will complete her 2,000th workout by Christmas. She said she completed a 30-minute workout every morning to keep her healthy. Member Liz McKnight said she loved Curves because it allowed her to build her bone strength up to prevent osteoporosis, and Gwyneth Wilson participated to keep fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming to workouts keeps me pain free from old age!â&#x20AC;? Mrs McKnight joked.

Owner Andrea Keating, who started as a circuit coach, is among 21 ladies who joined Curves seven years ago and are still active members today. Mrs Keating brought the business with her husband Steve in 2010. She said Curves covered all age groups, from 12 to 86 years, and there was a diversity of women who joined for a variety of different reasons, including to lose weight, gain weight or to combat stress and depression. To celebrate its 7th birthday, Curves Drysdale is offering a one-off $7 joining fee to the first 20 new members in August. MEANWHILE, the community has donated 155 kilograms of food and $70 cash to the Drysdale Food Bank.

Catholic Homes expands service offering Catholic Homes is delighted to announce that it has applied for a town planning permit to build a 90-bed aged care facility on their site, Star of the Sea Village on Horseshoe Bend Road in Torquay. Once approved, Star of the Sea Village will be able to expand its service offering to include a fully integrated ageing in place system. This means that the retirement village and aged care facility will be located on the same site, and supported by Home Care Packages (previously known as

CACPS, EACH and EACHD packages). An ageing-in-place system provides a wonderful opportunity to village residents to transition from retirement living to aged care as seamlessly as possible. Catholic Homes is very proud to offer this unified approach to retirement living and is pleased that they are able to support the senior community as their care needs increase. Given this exciting announcement, there is still time to secure one of the luxurious two or three bedroom units presently under construction. Stages one, two and three sold out very quickly and now with the release of 18 homes in stage four, Catholic Homes is delighted to announce that almost half have been sold off the plan. These homes will be due for completion by early 2015, before moving on to the final stage – stage five.

With only six two-bedroom units remaining at prices as low as $410,000, Catholic Homes urges interested parties to arrange a commitment-free tour of the village. Independent living is combined with lifestyle activities and access to firstclass facilities including an indoor heated pool, gym, movie theatre, outdoor bowls, billiards, library and hair salon. Catholic Homes management would like to extend their thanks to the local community for their ongoing support and encouragement. Star of the Sea Village welcomes people from diverse cultures, nationalities and faiths. Star of the Sea Village is located at 1 Headland Drive, Torquay and is open for inspection seven days a week.

A NATIONAL day of action acknowledging the final stage of life is encouraging Australians not to wait to talk about death. Dying To Know Day exists to get people talking. “Seventy-five per cent of the community have not had end-of-life discussions with their loved ones and less than 10 per cent die with an advance care plan,” co-founder of the day Kerrie Noonan said. “Opening up conversations and sharing information demystifies death and the dying process. On August 8, if people can’t get to an event we are inviting people to take a personal action toward building their death literacy.” The day, an initiative of not-for-profit The GroundSwell Project, aims to bring to life conversations and actions to change the way Australian’s deal with and plan for the end of life. One hundred events and personal actions have been organised across Australia. Individuals and organisations are hosting a variety of events including Death Cafes, seminars on death and dying, will writing workshops and information session on grief. National Ambassador Molly Carlile AM encouraged everyone to get involved. “Dying to Know Day (D2K Day) is about us getting together with people we care about, sharing our hopes and fears and growing our understanding of death in order to live more fully,” she said. “Let's not wait until it’s too late to have meaningful conversations. D2K Day is our golden ticket to talking about death.” This year, the day is supported by The State Trustees of Victoria and Ambassadors Bianca Nogrady (journalist and author of The End) and Pia Interlandi (fashion designer and natural death advocate).

The Delta Riggs are sitting pretty with big things on the horizon, including a slot on the QMF line-up this year.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER FRESH off the stages of New York, Berlin, Amsterdam and London, The Delta Riggs are back and ready to party at the Queenscliff Music Festival. The bluesy rock quartet have been dabbling in psychedelic sounds, a little R’n’B and even some punk and soul since 2010. Their debut album Hex.Lover.Killer brought the band national attention and it wasn’t long before they were traipsing the world playing festivals, headlining shows, and signing international record deals. It’s no surprise, then, that their coming

sophomore album, Dipz Zebazious, is invigorated with liveliness. “We’ve added a bit more of a fresh, party atmosphere to this album. The first one was way darker, especially lyrically,” frontman Elliott Hammond said. “We hope it’s the kind of music you want to hear with your mates on a Friday night when you’re having a really good time. “That’s the mood we were in when we were putting it all together so we’ve tried to capture it as best we could. “We wrote it straight off the back of mixing the first album and it felt like such a good release finally

finishing up our first record, and getting it out there, so those vibes come across, we were in a really exciting place.” “Being in New York last year was a big deal for us and it was really inspiring. “You see all the street life and the culture and the movement of such a huge machine; it gave us an energy that we hadn’t found elsewhere.” While Dipz Zebazious is yet to get an official release date, they have put out the first single, “The Record’s Flawed” to widespread applause and are now touring Australia with Kasabian. The Delta Riggs performed at QMF four years ago and Hammond said the band was keen to return

again in November. “There’s a real community feel there,” he said. “Last time we played, we were staying with a lot of the other artists and it was just one big party. We have very fond memories of it. “We’re all really looking forward to getting back there again and going even harder this time around.” The Delta Riggs are performing at the Queenscliff Music Festival, which will run from November 28 to 30.

East Timor film gets Geelong screening BY JAMES TAYLOR EAST Timor’s award-winning first feature film will have an exclusive screening in Geelong next week. The screening of Beatriz’s War (A Guerra da Beatriz) will be followed by a Q&A session with co-director Luigi Acquisto. The film is the haunting, passionate story of one woman’s conviction to remain true to the man she loves and the country for which she fought. A bold reworking of the 16th century French ‘Martin Guerre’ story, this adaptation transposes it to Portuguese Timor during the Indonesian occupation of the small colony. Beatriz’s young husband disappears during a brutal massacre by occupying Indonesian forces. Sixteen years later she is troubled by his sudden return; is this man her husband or an impostor? The mysterious stranger presents a chilling metaphor for the unresolved struggles and passions that challenge a new nation’s independence, and

a woman’s heart. This film from East Timor was made guerrilla-style by the same men and women who fought in the armed resistance and the clandestine movement during the small country’s 24-year war with Indonesia. Following a sold-out season in Dili, Beatriz’s War has already seen by more than 100,000 people across TimorLeste during the dry season travelling outdoor cinema program of Cinema Lorosaé. The 105-minute film was made in a country with the world’s smallest film industry, yet it shone in the country with the world’s biggest, winning the top prize at the prestigious International Film Festival of India. Critics have praised the film – The Guardian’s Natalie Craig called it”a riveting tale, told simply and with real emotion” while Cinephilia described it as a “simply told, honest and moving tale that relies on the power of the events, the beauty of the country and the strength of the performances of its excellent cast”. Beatriz’s War will screen at Clonard

They’re Adelaide Hills champions, to be Shaw Established in 1989 by cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith, Adelaide Hills champions Shaw & Smith celebrated their 25th anniversary this year with the release of the new 2014 Shaw & Smith Sauvignon Blanc. They’re a great example of how to go about it when it comes to producing a stylish and sophisticated product, marketing the brand, and building a loyal following of customers. They have a simple philosophy: make contemporary, high-quality wines that are outstanding examples of their type, made from grapes grown in the Adelaide Hills. Having just tried all the new releases at their annual Shaw & Smith Sauvignon Blanc & Yum Cha trade day, this time at a fantastic new venue Spice Temple up at Crown/Southbank, what can I say but “they’ve done it again”, further consolidating their reputation and attention to detail with these super new releases.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2014 ($28) Graeme Kinross-Smith’s Long Afternoon of the World has been compared to work by Patrick White.

A perennial favourite with lovers of Australian Sauvignon Blanc that is as complex and clean as it is undemanding and easy to drink. Fresh, delicate and showing a little more punch possibly than previous examples, the wine is terrifically pungent with beautifully balanced fruit and nice tight acidity on the finish. The only negative is that due to the vintage, yields were unfortunately down quite significantly, which means it won’t be around as long as previous releases.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills ‘M3’ Chardonnay 2013 ($48) The Shaw and Smith ‘M3’ Vineyard Chardonnay is a serious attempt to produce a finer style of Australian Chardonnay that has the capacity to age well in bottle. The latest ‘M3’ is for me probably their best and most exciting example I’ve seen to date with more flinty/leesy complexity in the aromatics and definitely more mineral/ flinty/matchstick notes in among their signature creamy textured palate coating flavours of stone fruits, nougat

and lees characters with excellent weight, and overall balance completing the picture.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2013 – as yet unreleased ($50) The latest chapter in their Shiraz odyssey is very attractive to say the least, with elegant streamlined fruit holding sway with vibrancy and distinctive bright violets, pepper and spice characters. Fresh, ripe, black cherry/berry flavours abound, and are harmoniously full and balanced but still a little shy at present, insinuating perhaps a little more concentration and complexity is yet to come? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2013 – as yet unreleased ($52) The best thing about this wine is the light cherry colour, the lithe palate feel and deliciously smooth, vibrant pinot flavours displaying distinctive violets, savoury/ sour cherry and spice notes on the nose with a core of bright cherry plums and a tang of balancing acidity on the finish... can’t wait ‘til it’s released!

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2014 ($28) A perennial favourite with lovers of Australian Sauvignon Blanc that is as complex and clean as it is undemanding and easy to drink. Fresh, delicate and showing a little more punch possibly than previous examples, the only negative is that due to the vintage. Unfortunately, yields were down quite significantly which means it won’t be around as long as previous releases. Terrifically pungent aromatics lead with beautifully balanced fruit and nice tight acidity on the finish. Rather than pump out as much product as they can to keep up with demand, Shaw and Smith have (as always) opted with the ‘less is more’ approach to ensure quality and brand integrity – the cornerstones of their identity. Preferring to concentrate on getting the absolute best from the fruit sources available means there is less stock to sell, but the wine is a powerhouse of expression and style.

Agent of change laws to protect live music THE state government is acting to enhance Victoria’s vital live music scene through measures announced as part of the Live Music Action Agenda. Minister for Planning Matthew Guy, Minister for Liquor and Gaming Regulation Edward O’Donohue, and Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith announced the Napthine government would deliver the agent of change principle to provide increased protection to live music venues, as part of a package of reforms designed to support the Victorian live music industry. Mr Guy said the Napthine government was moving ahead with its promise to enshrine the agent of change principle in the state’s planning framework. “New residential developments built near existing live music venues will be responsible for noise mitigation features as part of the planning process. “This means beloved pubs and clubs that are home to live music in Victoria will not be forced to close due to noise complaints from those in new apartment buildings or new houses next door. “New music venues will of course also be held to these new standards and will be responsible for mitigating the impact of their noise on neighbours.” Mr O’Donohue said legislation would be introduced to the Parliament to require the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor to consider the agent of change principle when dealing with noise complaints. He said live music generated an estimated $301 million in gross state product for the Victorian economy in 2009-10 and supported about 15,000 fulltime jobs. Advocacy group Music Victoria said the announcement was “a big win for the music industry”.

Creighton heads back Into the Mystic BY TIFFANY PILCHER ACCOMPLISHED musician Joe Creighton will honour the music of Van Morrison with his eightpiece band at the Torquay Bowls Club on August 17. Creighton, who like Morrison grew up in conflict-riddled Northern Belfast in the 1960s, will present Into the Mystic – The Music of Van Morrison as a tribute rather than a impersonation of the great singer-songwriter. He said as a youngster he would sneak into Belfast pubs to see Morrison perform and he aims to recreate the electrifying feeling of hearing his music live. “His career has spanned so many decades and gone through so many transformations that his fans come at it from many, many angles,” Creighton said. “For me, his album Astral Weeks, is pivotal – not only for him but for music in general.

“The lyrics are so evocative and beautiful to sing. When I perform them, you can almost see the audience being woven into a kind of trance. “There is something in the marrying of the music and lyrics that is so powerful and there is a mystical, Celtic power and spirituality that he found a way to tap into. “That’s what I try to bring to the audience, the power that’s within those songs.” Joe Creighton and his band will perform Into the Mystic – The Music of Van Morrison on August 17 at the Torquay Bowls Club at 3pm. Tickets start at $20 and are available at trybooking.com/ EZCN or on the door. Joe Creighton will present a collection of Van Morrison’s biggest hits as well as some hidden gems at the Torquay Bowls Club next weekend.

Students power up to win robot comps BY REBECCA LAUNER CHRISTIAN College students have won two challenging competitions by using their expertise in everything robots. Twenty-two teams and more than 60 students from schools as far away as Colac, Lismore and Bacchus Marsh recently competed in the 15th Regional RoboCup Junior Event held at Christian College Bellarine. RoboCup Junior is an educational competition, which was created by a group of Melbourne and Geelong teachers in 2000 and has now gone to over 50 countries worldwide. RoboCup Junior was established to compliment the university competition with an aim that “by 2050, a team of humanoid robots will take to the ﬁeld with the World Cup soccer players and beat them”.

At the 15th Regional RoboCup Junior Event, Christian College Geelong teams took out the ‘Simple Simon’ and ‘Open league’ challenges. The robots all operate autonomously, without any human intervention which is the culmination of months of planning building and programming back at school. Students not only learn how to build robots, but need to work as a team making the most of the different skills available within the team. There are programmers, engineers, managers, dress designers, team PR and fundraising and even choreographers for the dancing robots. A highlight of the tournament was the Open League Soccer teams. Apart from their speed and accuracy to kick a goal from anywhere on the ﬁeld, robots have been built from the highest cutting edge technology available.

From left, Year 8 students Mitchell Vallance, Corey Watson, Corey Knight, Jacob Jennings and Rylan Willis - they were the winners from the ‘Simple Simon’ league.

Free Geelong maps to promote active local travel A SERIES of pocket-sized maps – including one for the Bellarine Peninsula – will promote easy ways to get around the suburbs and towns of the Greater Geelong region. Mayor Darryn Lyons announced the availability of the maps which include details about shared pathways, bike lanes, bus routes and railways

stations, and local destinations such as schools, shopping centres and libraries. “I know as well as anyone how difﬁcult it is to ﬁt in time for daily exercise,” Cr Lyons said. “An easy way to add physical activity is to walk or cycle to your regular destinations like the shops, school or work.

“Not only will you be doing your bit for the environment, but you will also be making your travel count towards a ﬁtter and healthier lifestyle. “Active travel is a great way to get the family out and about without adding to an already busy schedule.”

There are three maps in the series including North/Central Geelong and Lara, Central/South Geelong and Leopold, and Bellarine Peninsula. Copies are available from all City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centres or by calling 5272 5272.

WHAT a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning – catching up with a dear friend whose daughter was enjoying spending ‘down time’ away from the hectic routine of university life and expanding her repertoire of culinary achievements on the eve of moving into a share house. Much has been said and written about the lack of cooking skills in the ‘younger’ generation. Many factors have influenced this – increasingly with both parents working there has been a greater reliance on quick and easy meals, greater consumption of take-away meals, etc. Put simply – less opportunities to learn from our mothers at the kitchen bench. But to some degree the trend is turning and certainly the spin off from televised cooking programs has, I think, reignited the desire to learn to cook, indeed to play in the kitchen. It’s great to see the growth of primary school based growharvest-cook-share programs – this will certainly help to foster a new and lively interest in the source of our food, and just how relatively easy it is to cook tasty, nutritious meals at home. Home Ec classes in my day were de rigueur. You began with the very basics recipes – rock cakes, scones, pikelets and pancakes! There are basic pancake batters of course, but if you are wanting to up the ante and achieve super light pancakes, then you’ll need to separate the whites from yolks, taking the culinary skill up a notch by learning how to successfully create fluffy ‘meringue’ – very useful for when you progress to soufflés! But on a leisurely weekend morning, no one wants to listen to the sound of an electric mixer, or someone furiously

FLIPPIN’ SUNDAY PANCAKES

beating a wire whisk in a copper bowl? This recipe relies on the double lift of self-raising flour and bi-carb soda. Of course the raison d’etre of pancakes is to feel like you are having a real treat – a change from the usual toast with jam or veggie? The ‘occasion’ deserves real maple syrup! It has such a unique flavour and the syrup is graded – in other words, you pay for quality. It is still not fully understood how the sap of a variety of maple trees is transformed from the starch stored in the trunks and roots during winter, and converted to ‘sugar’ in the sap during spring. The trees are tapped and the exuded sap is collected, heated to remove most of the water, leaving the delicious concentrated syrup. The indigenous people of North America collected and used the syrup, and like all cuisines, the newly arrived settlers soon adopted the ingredient. Canada still proudly supplies the world with maple syrup and the province of Quebec alone produces about 75 per cent of the world output. So to make the fluffiest pancakes – see recipe to the right. To make it easier to flip pancakes, don’t overcrowd the pan. This batter will make approximately 10 pancakes. Stack them on a warmed plate, covered with a clean tea-towel. To serve, I mashed a generous amount of ground black pepper into softened butter, crisped a couple of slices of prosciutto and topped this with the maple syrup. You can use all manner of toppings, lemon juice and sugar; fresh fruits and yoghurt; berry sauces and ice cream. Best of all is licking the plate clean with your fingers, savouring the melted butter and remnants of maple syrup – aah, the weekend! Blissfully cosy inside while the wintery winds blow.

The fluffiest pancakes INGREDIENTS 375ml (1 1/2cups) milk 2 teaspns lemon juice 2 tablespns sugar 225gm (1 1/2 cups) SR flour 1/4 teaspn bi-carb soda 1 egg 30gm melted butter

METHOD In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, lemon juice and sugar. You must use full cream milk. Set this aside for five minutes, it will develop a slightly curdled look due to the lemon juice. Sift together the flour and bi-carb soda into another large bowl. Lightly beat the egg together with the melted butter – whisk this well to incorporate the egg. The butter will most likely still float to the top which is fine. Add this to the milk mixture. Make a ‘well’ in the flour, pour in about 1/3 of the milk mix and starting from the puddle of liquid in the centre, stir gently. You will see the flour cling to the liquid in a thin film around the edges. Keep stirring, adding more milk, and you’ll find you’ll avoid lumps in the batter by just incorporating that thin film of flour. Avoid over-mixing the batter however. Stir just enough to combine the ingredients. Allow batter to stand for five minutes. Heat a skillet or Teflon coated pan – smear with a little butter. Pour in batter and spread this to form a circle – cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, flip and cook the other side, usually 1-2 minutes each side.

Alli finds her rhythm with debut Dance Card novel BY TIFFANY PILCHER GEELONG author Alli Sinclair is twirling with joy after launching her ﬁrst novel, Luna Tango, this week. As a travel writer, ghost writer and tango enthusiast, Sinclair used her experiences of travelling through South America as the basis for the dramatic novel. “I spent a lot of time in Argentina just experiencing the culture and everything it has to offer,” Sinclair said. “Someone asked me if I had any new ideas for a book and it just immediately

came to mind. “It’s quite surreal now that the book is out, it’s funny how you have a dream and then it comes true and you don’t know how to feel. I saw it for the ﬁrst time on a book shelf in a shop and I didn’t know what to do, I started tearing up, it’s such a strange feeling and you can’t anticipate it at all.” In Luna Tango, journalist Dani McKenna delves into the world of tango to expose the decades of lies and deception that threaten three generations of her family. She’s desperate to understand the reason her mother abandoned her to become a

world-class tango dancer, why her grandma lives in fear of all things tango, and how the brutal murder of a tango music legend in 1950s Buenos Aires now affects her family. Dani meets the enigmatic Carlos Escudero and despite Dani’s lack of rhythm, they create their own dance of the souls until the differences in their cultures cause a deep rift. The novel will be the ﬁrst of three in her forthcoming “Dance Card” series, as part of the international deal Sinclair has inked with Harlequin Books. Luna Tango is available now in most bookstores.

Debut Geelong author Alli Sinclair released the first novel of her “Dance Card” trilogy this week.

Extreme mountaineer Andrew Lock will speak about his incredible adventures at the Word for Word Non-Fiction Festival at the Deakin Waterfront Campus next weekend.

GEELONG’S national non-ﬁction festival, Word for Word will feature some of Australia, and the worlds, most intriguing, determined and successful people. The event, scheduled for next weekend, is set to have something for everyone with subjects ranging from sports and adventure to music and craft beer. One of the speakers will be Australia’s greatest mountaineer, Andrew Lock, who

is the only Australian, the ﬁrst person in the Commonwealth, and the 18th man in the world, to climb all fourteen of the world’s 8,000-metre high mountains, including Everest. He has just released a book, Summit 8000, detailing his 16-year journey to conquer all of the world’s tallest climbing mountains. Lock said he found the writing process challenging and cathartic and is keen to share his story. “I’m glad I’ve done it. I enjoyed putting it all on paper and remembering the details of the

trips so I hope people enjoy it. “It’s quite raw in some places. It may be difﬁcult to read at times but I preferred it to invoke emotions and tell the story correctly.” Lock will join Jono Lineen and Graeme Joyf or a discussion titled “Extreme Adventures”. Word for Word Non-ﬁction Festival, hosted by Deakin’s School of Communication and Creative Arts will be held from August 15 to 17 at the university’s Waterfront Campus.

Get your Christmas trees ready for Aireys BY JAMES TAYLOR FOLLOWING the success of last year’s inaugural Christmas Tree Festival in Aireys Inlet, the organisers are calling for entries for an even bigger and better event in November. Last year saw about 500 people viewing 46 entries. Some trees were later donated to hospitals and other worthy causes, and the event featured on Pulse TV’s Christmas program. Many entrants used a play on words – the “pantree” made of frying pans and grocery items was popular with the judges. Other trees celebrated the local environment, using driftwood and found objects as building materials. Organisers have now invited individuals, community groups, clubs, businesses and schools to get their creative hats on to come up with an entry. These could be a themed tree that promotes an organisation or just an individual work of art. The festival will take place from November 28-30 at the Aireys Inlet Hotel. The trees will be judged and the public will be invited to vote for the People’s Choice Award. This event is sponsored by the Uniting Church in Aireys Inlet and supported by the Surf Coast Shire. For more information and entry forms, contact Joan Richardson by phoning 5289 7029 or emailing lrichardson@iprimus.com.au, or Edie Barton by phoning 5289 7415 or emailing jebarton@westnet.com.au. Entry forms can also be downloaded at surfcoast.unitingchurch.org.au.

Fundraise for Bellbrae PS with food, wine and fun BY TIFFANY PILCHER PARENTS and friends of Bellbrae Primary School are waving goodbye to winter with a fundraising food and wine daytrip around the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula on August 23. The Organic Discovery Tour is open to anyone who would like to feast on the best and freshest produce these regions have to offer, and all profits will be donated to the school for a new PA system. Organic Discovery Tours was established to educate people about the importance of eating well and bringing medicine to the kitchen table. Throughout the day, you’ll meet the farmers, eat the produce and learn about organic and biodynamic farming. The tour starts at 9am with an organic coffee at Surfcoast Wholefoods, followed by bush and wetland walks, food and wine tastings, lunch, and discussions at Narana, Kiltynane Wines, Manzanillo Olives and Ravens Creek. After a full day of touring and indulging in organic produce, the day will end back at Surfcoast Wholefoods at approximately 5pm. If you can’t make the tour, you still purchase a raffle ticket to win a hamper filled with organic wine and produce donated by the businesses on the tour and Go Vita Torquay, Not Just Fruit and Bunnings.

activate your nuts. Activating the nuts prior to consumption decreases their digestive load by releasing enzyme inhibitors called phytic acid, which impede on your body's ability to absorb the nutrients in the nuts. The same goes for legumes like lentils and chickpeas. The activation process involves soaking raw nuts in a brine solution for 24 hours, draining and rinsing them, before either popping them into a dehydrator or a very low oven for 24 hours (50 deg) this low heat is not high enough to oxidise the fats but enough to dry out the water. Although a little tedious and time consuming, activating your own nuts will save you loads of cash. There is a plethora of websites and recipes to work out the intricacies of nut activation as some nuts, like cashews, require less soaking. So, what are you waiting for, get cracking!

ALONG with the fermented food movement, activating your nuts is a hot topic in the nutrition world. Gents, don't worry, this is not a men's health awareness piece, but if I got your attention, great and read on! Most of us are aware of the health benefits of eating nuts, right? If you are in the dark, allow me to give you the run down in a nutshell (sorry, that pun was

just busting for attention!) Nuts are a great protein source, about 25 per cent. They contain excellent levels of good fats and also have vitamins and minerals, namely magnesium , zinc and selenium. If you grew up like me, nuts were eaten roasted and salted and sat on the pub bench in a wooden bowl with questionable levels of contamination! Thankfully, we now know a lot more about ideal consumption of the humble nut. Due to their high fat content, when nuts are exposed to high heats during the roasting process, their delicate fats are oxidised and destroyed, rendering them rancid and damaging to cells. Not to mention the coating of processed salt and unknown storage time from being picked to ending up in supermarket shelves (months, years even?) The best way to consume nuts to obtain maximum nutrient content and value is to not only consume them raw and unsalted, but to soak or

MYTH: People who have diabetes should eat â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diabeticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foods, or at least be on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diabetic dietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. TRUTH: There is no such thing as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diabetic dietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and foods labelled as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diabeticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are of no extra benefit to people who have diabetes.

Ideally, choose a variety of foods from the recommended five groups every day, reduce intake of saturated and trans-fat, salt, sugars and alcohol.

Well, well, well, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t August lovely WITH OCTAVIA CHABRIER AUGUST is such a beautiful month to sit in wonder of what winter has delivered. The mornings are still crisp, but the sun is peeking through more often and there are incredible things happening in nature. New buds are forming on trees, and the earthworms are cleaning up the winter debris. I have noticed a Magpie family foraging around in my garden, which is a sure sign spring is on its way, and the whales are moving down the coast. With four weeks until spring now is a good time to reflect and shine a light on the good things that winter brought you, like a little more time to snuggle on the couch, or trying out some slow cooked recipes. Hopefully you had an opportunity to sit around a fire with friends, chatting, laughing and gazing into the flames. Take this moment to name five good things that winter blessed you with. My five have been: 1. Taking up writing 2. Joining a Power Yoga class

3. Picking fresh broccoli and cauliflower from the garden 4. Turning off the computer earlier and snuggling on the couch 5. Planting the bare soil with indigenous plants for all to enjoy for years to come. Wellness tip for August Set up a reminder in the office that goes off every hour. You can set it to tranquil music or dance music or mix it up. However you choose is fine, the important thing is to stand up every hour and move for 2-5 minutes. You can stretch, jog on the spot, strike a yoga pose, and do walking lunges to the tearoom. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what it is, just so long as you do it every hour, which will have a positive health affect on your health and wellness, decreasing your risk of heart attack significantly and increasing your joy and productivity.

MOORE WEEKLY STARS Rams are social creatures, and your current friendships are in a state of flux. Some close relationships will end suddenly, while others develop in wonderfully unexpected ways. Prepare for a fabulous Friday as mighty Mars aspects powerful Pluto, and you’ll be noticed wherever you go. Motivation and confidence levels are high, so make the most of the positive planetary aspects..

It’s all about money honey, as Monday’s full moon stirs up trouble in your money zones. Fortunately, Venus and Jupiter come to the rescue and if you’re a clever Crab you’ll pal up with a financially astute person who helps you find ways to develop a second stream of income. The more proactive, creative and collaborative you are, the more fabulous your financial future will be!

AUGUST 7 – 14 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014

Children and teenagers will blur the boundaries and test your patience this week. If you are firm and flexible – a tricky balance – then you can guide them through the constantly changing landscape. Don’t dismiss financial matters though. The devil is definitely in the detail, as you take the time to research, revise and re-do. Loved ones will appreciate your due diligence Libra.

Are money matters on your mind? With Venus visiting your joint finances zone from August 12 until September 6 find ways to boost your cash flow via financial partnerships, joint ventures or creative collaborations. Avoid taking risks though … a cautious and conservative Capricorn approach is the safest way to go. Resist the urge to offer unwanted advice on Sunday.

One half of you wants to be sociable and take on the world, while the other half longs for some peace and quiet and privacy. The solution? Be a well-balanced Bull and juggle both sides! Focus on things that are working in your life, and solidify them – plus be proactive about partnerships. Under the influence of Venus, a family relationship is set to improve in leaps and bounds.

Joining a social group or sporting club in your local community brings mutual benefits, as you’re keen to connect with a diverse range of people. Don’t expect instant results though. Mercury moves into your domestic zone on Saturday, so it’s time to get talking with family members. You could also play gracious Gemini host to friends who come to stay from far away.

Va-voom Venus vamps into your sign on Tuesday where it stays until September 6. So smile brightly, flutter your eyelashes or flex your pecs, as you charm others and get what you want in the nicest possible way. You’re also in the mood for lashings of Leo extravagance and overindulgence. As birthday great Mae West declared “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”

The week goes slowly but then Mercury moves into your sign on Saturday, when you’ll be at your curious, studious fact-finding best … and nit-picking worst. Aim to view the glass of life as being half-full rather than half-empty. Be inspired by famous chef Julia Child born on August 15, 1912 “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”

Home is where the heart is, as you spend quality time with family members. You’re in the mood to fix something around the house – or to patch up a problematic relationship with a relative. Mars/ Pluto aspects boost your ambition and focus on Friday, when you communicate with extra confidence and charisma. So it’s a fabulous day to make positive changes in powerful ways.

The Aquarian full moon amplifies your reckless nature but too much haste could lead to an argument or accident, so pace yourself. The stars favour expanding your social media connections, as teamwork and networking get you where you want to go. Look for a person you can collaborate with, on a project close to your heart. Your enthusiasm and innovative ideas win others over.

Be careful your spontaneous Sagittarian spirit doesn’t land you in unexpected trouble! You’re keen to communicate but, if you rush in and say the first thing on your mind, you could find yourself regretting your haste. With the sun, Venus and Jupiter in your travel zone, many adventurous Archers will soon head off on an overseas trip, interstate interlude or weekend getaway.

This week you’re even more mysterious than usual as the full moon helps you ferret out fascinating secrets, keep mum about confidences, and charm others with your persuasive Piscean personality. You may experience mood swings but you can also expect artistic inspiration and spiritual insights, as your inner muse demands to be expressed in a variety of creative ways.

Wearable computers TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS

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

ONE of the next big things quickly gaining popularity is wearable computers. These are, as the name suggests, things that we will wear on or about our body and be loaded with useful tech solutions to our everyday needs. While at the moment these devices are usually in things like glasses, watches or wristbands, I would expect in the not too distant future to have these devices embedded in your clothing, shoes or even under your skin! Imagine a video camera built into your jumper or sensors in a T-shirt that monitored your heart rate and blood sugar levels; the possibilities are endless. One of the big-ticket items out at the moment is Google Glass. This device is a pair of glasses that has a heads-up display screen built in and a video

camera on the front to capture video. The glasses are connected to the internet and control of the glasses is by either voice command or a touch pad on the side. I love the idea of having an overlay of the real world by having a map superimposed while I am driving, or having relevant information pop up while looking at a restaurant, or even just reminders like “get the milk” or “don’t leave your child at basketball training” (not guilty... yet). All of this sounds great but the social implications and privacy issues of people walking around with a video camera always on are turning out to be a bit of a stumbling block, hence the term “glass-hole” for Google Glass users. Like any device these could be used for good or bad, but I am sure that the possible benefits will fast outgrow the negatives and we will start seeing people everywhere with these and similar devices.

Owner Hague Shier has been involved in the storage business for the past 11 years having started GarageSmart and managing the national operations of Wardrobe World and GarageSmart until March last year. After moving to Barwon Heads with his young family five years ago he decided it was time to retire from the

Melbourne daily commute and start his own local business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a need for a specialist home storage service in the greater Geelong area, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently wardrobe storage is being primarily undertaken by kitchen and bathroom providers and nobody is providing quality garage and attic storage solutions.â&#x20AC;? Due to Hagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong industry connections, Complete Home Storage has access to the best products across the key wardrobe, garage, attic and outdoor zones of the home.

BFL Round 17 preview BY PADDY SLACK

FROM THE

mat

ROUND 17 in the BFL is “Just Think Round”. The Just Think campaign was founded by Geelong Cats stars Tom Harley, David Wojcinski and James Kelly in 2008. The key message delivered by the premiership players is “We’re not saying ‘don’t drink’, we’re saying ‘just think’. Think about the consequences: personal injury, loss of income or employment and the ripple effects on your family and community can all be the result of the misuse of alcohol.”

WITH ANGLESEA BOWLING CLUB

Geelong Amateur (1st) vs. Torquay (2nd) @ Queens Park, Sunday 2.10pm The Tigers will go into the top of the table clash fresh off a 186-point victory, whereas Geelong Amateur will be worse for wear after their 15-game winning streak came to end last week at the hands of Barwon Heads. Ammos took home the four points last time these sides met, running out 58-point victors under the lights of Spring Creek Reserve in round 1. Despite both teams not having much on the line this weekend, it is expected the competition’s two best sides will put on a show at Queens Park. Player to watch: Kane Smith; the former Lara star was best on ground for Geelong Amateur in the round 1 battle, with a notable performance last week the solidly-built midfielder looks to have found some form for Ammos. Prediction: Geelong Amateur by 19 points.

Modewarre (7th) vs. Barwon Heads (6th) @ Community Bank Oval, Saturday 2.10pm Barwon Heads pulled off the biggest upset of the BFL season last week, handing Geelong Amateur its first loss with a 45-point victory. The Warriors also enjoyed a win last week and were the only side in the competition to climb the ladder, after defeating Portarlington by 65 points. Barwon Heads came from a goal down at the final change to defeat Modewarre by five points in round 7. Another win for the Seagulls this weekend will set up a thrilling final round clash against Drysdale, with the winner to claim fifth spot and play finals. Player to watch: Jed Holland; the Barwon Heads ruckman played at full-forward last week and bagged five goals in a stellar performance. Prediction: Barwon Heads by 38 points.

Portarlington (9th) vs. Drysdale (5th) @ Portarlington Recreation Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm Drysdale’s winning streak over Portarlington will extend to 13 if able to hand them their seventh straight loss at home on Saturday. Currently sitting on an equal 36 points with Barwon Heads and with percentage now irrelevant, the Hawks simply need the four points to keep their finals hopes alive. Drysdale prevailed by a comprehensive 132-points when these sides last went to battle on Anzac Day. Player to watch: Paul Davis; has kicked 33 goals

for Drysdale this season and faces his former club this weekend. He also snagged three majors in the Anzac Day meeting. Prediction: Drysdale by 92 points.

Ocean Grove (3rd) vs. Anglesea (8th) @ Ocean Grove Memorial Recreation Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm Ocean Grove won its first five games of the season and sat comfortably on top of the ladder for the opening three rounds. Following a dream start to the year, the Grubbers have now lost three of their past five games, with two of those losses in front of its home crowd. In round 9, the Roos led by 14 points at half time, however, Ocean Grove proved too strong and ran out 10-point winners. The Grubbers have the opportunity to cement a top-three finish with victory, while Anglesea can retain seventh position at best if able to take away the four the points. Player to watch: Sam Fairway; he was best-onground last time these sides met and was named the Grubbers best in last week’s loss to Queenscliff. Prediction: Ocean Grove by 31 points.

Newcomb Power (10th) vs. Queenscliff (4th) @ Grinter Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm Queenscliff lost its first four home games this season but a remarkable second half of the year has seen them win their last four by over 50 points. Travelling to Grinter Reserve this weekend may be an opportunity to rest players ahead of their sixth consecutive finals appearance. There were small signs of improvement for Newcomb last week, keeping Torquay to 10 goals less than they did in round 8, while kicking three more majors of its own. Player to watch: Daniel DeGois; the Queenscliff

goalkicking machine leads the competition on 76 for the season, he booted 14 majors last time these sides met and will most likely have another day out on Saturday. Prediction: Queenscliff by 150 points. Follow Paddy Slack on Twitter @PaddySlack1 and visit krockfootball.com.au for more regional football coverage.

ALTHOUGH winter is the non-pennant bowling season, the Anglesea Bowling Club has many members actively working on its behalf. For example – the match, greens, maintenance and bar staff who enable the winter bowls program to run smoothly. But special acknowledgement goes to the club’s vice president, Gerard Morrison. In between a trip to China for some well earned R & R, he has been instrumental in preparing the next season’s fixture book for publishing, updating the club’s website angleseabowlingclub. com.au, manning the match room; volunteering at the shire’s resale shed; performing presidential duties during the president’s absence on sick leave; sitting for the coaching course exam and passing. Well done Gerard. The club appreciates your dedication.

Winners Saturday: G. Sadler and George Schulze Monday: Graeme Mathias, Geoff Collings, Les Rolls Tuesday: Allan Fletcher, Pauline Andrewartha, Helen Mann

Thursday 7 August 2014

WORLD experts on fisheries management recently met in Adelaide to share new technologies and best practice methods for managing small pelagic fisheries. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture Senator Richard Colbeck said the week-long workshop had been a great opportunity for Australian fisheries scientist, managers, the fishing sectors and conservation groups to find out how Australia’s small pelagic fisheries stacked up against global best practice. Techniques including harvest strategies, catch limits and mitigating ecosystem impacts were all discussed. It was shown at this forum that Australia’s fisheries are not only sustainable but well managed and stack up well against world’s best practice. “Our Australian fisheries managers are focused on continuous improvement, and developing our science base and listening to issues raised by stakeholders as an important part of this process,” Mr Colbeck said. A statement released by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) hailed the meeting as a success, with international experts impressed by Australia’s sustainable management of the small pelagic fishery. “Australia’s science-based fisheries management has been recognised at a global level. “Not only is our fisheries management sustainable and well managed but it is always useful to continue to learn from the experiences of countries and share techniques on harvest strategies, catch limits, mitigating ecosystem impacts and other factors. “This great outcome is a further endorsement of Australia’s world class fisheries management.”

Recent forum in Torquay

The recent Fisheries and VRFish forum in Torquay was attended by about 40 local recreational fishers. At the meeting many topics of discussion were considered, including streams, estuaries, lakes, and waterways management from a fisheries perspective. The impacts of environmental issues on our waterways and fish stocks, such as in the Anglesea River, a classic example of what is wrong, and what we need to do if we are to address these issues was discussed. The other topic of discussion was the placement of the new artificial reef off Torquay. This reef is about to be constructed and will hopefully be put in place in the not-too-distant future. Fisheries even provided the GPS points for the proposed location. This created a bit of a stir when one well-known local recreational fishing identity rushed up to the screen to take a shot of the GPS points. We can only imagine him camping out on his boat waiting for the official opening of the reef so as to be one of the first to claim he has fished the reef and the bragging rights that go with it All I can say is I wish him all the best, maybe the club could create a plaque to commemorate his achievement. Once again, offshore reports are few and far between due to the poor weather conditions that have been affecting all areas.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB THERE will be no more comments in this column regarding the weather or the course improving – apologies for being the bearer of bad karma. The Presidents and Captains dinner at the weekend acknowledged two of our long serving members. Robert Harding, a major sponsor of our Pro-Am event has been with the club for 30 years and Michael Wilson clocked up 40 years – congratulations to both of them. Our ladies didn’t fair so well at the Country Championships. In the Glenelg Cup, 36 hole nett event for handicaps over 18, Lady Captain Stefi Bates was the best finishing equal 6th, and Janice Pekin was just one shot behind. In the actual Country Championships, which is a gross event, Judy Talbot was the best, finishing 34th and ahead of many with far lower handicaps. Well done to all those who braved the elements.

WITH MARGOT SMITH

Thursday – treacherous winds followed by icy rain. One group of three did venture out but after hitting her ball twice up the first hole, Dot Hermann abandoned play and told those that stayed in the clubhouse that deciding to play was the second worst decision she had made in her life! The other two didn’t last much longer.

FROM THE GOLF SHOP

It was wonderful Wednesday again for the men – well nearly wonderful as a few did encounter some showers on the last couple of holes. They played an individual stableford event and the winners were Keith Turner in A Grade with 38 points, Geoff Trethowan in B Grade with 42 points (the best score for the day), John Balderstone in C Grade with 37 points and Alex Sutherland in the seniors with 40 points. NTP winners were Peter Wagner, Warren Heinnen, Ian Treloar and Russell Murfitt. And to keep the pattern going it was a terrible

Saturday was cold and damp under foot but it was medal day for the men and many were eager to play. Peter Caulfield was the medal winner with 38 points in B Grade and Andrew Daffy won the July medal playoff. Other winners were Michael Troup in A Grade with 37 points, Ian Martin in C Grade with 37 points as well and Sue Britnell in the ladies with 29 points. NTP winners were Des Clancy, Peter Malone, Chris Knight and Geoff Dean. The Sunday players had the best of the weekend weather again. Gaye Keeble won the ladies event with 1 down with Brenda Balderstone runner up with 2 down. In the men event Tony Newell won with 1 up and Ray Shaw was runner up with 1 down on a countback from Graeme Mills. NTP winners were Graeme Mills, John Balderstone, Suellen Eskrigge and Peter Hester. Next weekend we have the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club Charity day on Saturday, so even if you’re not playing come up to the club and help raise some funds. I’m told the raffle prizes are very good! Enjoy your golf and stay warm.

THURSDAY the golf club will host the Torquay Primary School Tournament organised by Golf Victoria as part of a program to introduce golf to junior players. We are pleased to showcase our course for such an event. We hope that all the kids have a great day and we look forward to seeing our golfers of the future out on the course. Tuesday, Wendy Johnson put in a solid round o finish with 39 points and win for A Grade. Dorothy Baker proved how happy she was to be back on the course putting a fine score of 39 points to take out B Grade. Sheila Currie put in the best score for C Grade with 34 points. Pam Conn scored 38 points to win for the Resort. NTPs Ainsley McCallum, Teneile Louchery, Wendy Johnson and Lois Matthews. Lyndsey Dunstan took out the jackpot hole.

Peter Phillips also put in a solid round to finish with 67 and win for C Grade, which will put him into a playoff for the August Medal with Ross Bottomley next medal day. Don Jennings with 38 points won the Resort. There were no ladies results as not one played this weekend; we heard a few of them have gone north trying to escape the cold. NTPs Terry Lee, Wes Bumpstead, Andrew Sudholz and Barry Hewitt. Kev Leeman hit the jackpot. Sunday, Ken Scott posted 38 points early to take out the men’s win and for the ladies Deb Shoesmith finished first with 34 points. NTPs Garry Smith and Peter Garland. Malcolm Brown (Queens Park GC) hit a good shot on the 17th to win the jackpot. The members Vets/Seniors golf will be held on August 18 and as usual Bob will be hosting the day. So if you would like to come and play 14 holes and enjoy the company of your fellow members for a fun round with coffee and roast rolls available after the game then make sure you get your name down on the timesheet, the cash prizes are well worth having a go. There are some great specials available this week in the golf shop, not only will you find a ball or two at a great price but if you are looking to find a more comfortable shoe to wear on the course without spikes then we have just what you need.

MIDWEEK RESULTS

THE SANDS TORQUAY MEN

Wednesday Par: It was a gusty day for the lads, and with the winds blowing heavily it was always going to be a tough day for scoring. Our day’s winner, Rob Foster, was able to successfully navigate his way through the tough trekking as he posted a score of +1 to win in a count back over runner-up Peter Whitnall. The NTP honours went to Rod Carroll on the 5th and Calem Hoffman on the 13th. Saturday Stableford – Medal: A few sprinkles of rain early on but the day turned out perfectly. With minimal run with all the rain through the week the scoring proved tough. It was Ross Millar with 37 points, who took out the medal. He went head to head with his playing partner Noel Mullen down the stretch who finished on 36 points. NTPs Chris Burke 5th hole & 13th hole and Luke Muller on 17.

Trophy of the Day and A Grade went to Louise Blomley, who as well as carding an outstanding 3 up, also scored an eagle on the 3rd. Jill Barker was the next A Grader with her square round, while Maureen Walsh and Jenny Durante topped the B Graders with their square rounds. Marg Mascoll won C Grade on a count back from Judy Patton, both with -3. NTPs were won by Ann Watts and Marge Wall, and the ProPins went to Helen Davey (A) and Susan May (B).

Saturday August 2, Men’s and Ladies’ Stroke, Monthly Medal

Bernard Dumont put his name up in lights as he cruised to an excellent 3 up to win trophy of the day and C Grade from Ken Foxcroft on +1. Michael Jennings and Harrison Geall topped the A Graders with their square rounds, while B Grade also saw a count back finish between Rob Parry and Arthur Dimble, both 2 up. Peter Robotham got the D Grade voucher with his -2 from Gordon Mainsbridge with -4. Greg Newman, Brian Hazell and Sean Rodwell won the respective pinshots.

The icy conditions kept the field down for the August Monthly Medal, but it didn’t hamper Phil Toyne, whose nett 69 was clearly the round of the day. He won A Grade from Peter Hudson on 71, and collected the ProPin on his way! B Grade winner was Jason Barker with his nett 71 (plus NTP on the 17th) from Chris Lacey on 73, while C Grade went to Stephen Janson with his 73 from Ian McAuliffe on 77. John Matthews got the D Grade voucher with 73 from Mark Shone on 75. The Ladies Medal event could also only attract a small field, but Helen Powe didn’t mind a bit by collecting the medal with a nett 81 from Jacky Rowe on 83, while Jeanette Barclay took the gross with 95, Barbie Schwarz the putting with 28.
