Proposal to bring aged care to Torquay resort
SHIFTING SANDS
BY JAMES TAYLOR
THE consultants behind a proposal to convert part of The Sands Torquay into an aged care centre have moved to dispel fears that residents in the surrounding estate will be kept out of
the resort’s facilities. St Quentin Consulting has lodged a request on behalf of the Handbury Group – which operates The Sands – for an amendment of the resort’s planning permit to allow the 100-room hotel to be converted into a 112-room residential
aged care facility. A three-storey infill building will be constructed between the two hotel buildings, and will hold a direct entry/ driveway area, the centre’s reception, a nurses’ station, dining and lounge areas.
After authorisation from Planning Minister Matthew Guy, the amendment will go on public exhibition for six weeks. St Quentin Consulting managing director Cameron Gray said the amendment would not have an impact on the rights of residents to use or have access to facilities such as the clubhouse, gym, pool, car park, or golf course. “These rights are critical to the relationship between the Handbury Group and residents and the commitments in place in relation to use of these facilities will remain.” Mr Gray said the proposal was at a preliminary stage, and the public exhibition process would ensure “a full and transparent public engagement process”. “We see that as the most appropriate forum for residents, the council and ourselves to work through the issues and look forward to engaging with the residents through this process, and addressing any concerns they might have.
“The amendment is proposing to deliver a much needed social and community asset in the Surf Coast. “It is in response to identified demand for aged care facilities, and allows our older residents to ‘age in place’ rather than being forced to relocate to other areas which have these facilities.” He said the aged care centre would create between 80-100 jobs. At their meeting last week, Surf Coast Shire councillors voted to request authorisation to amend The Sands’ planning permit. Several councillors expressed surprise at the plans. Cr Eve Fisher said she had been fielding phone calls all day from residents in The Sands estate in the leadup to the council meeting. “The biggest thing has been ‘what’s going to happen to property prices?’.” Cr Heather Wellington said it was an interesting proposal that “certainly deserves testing”. “It’s not at all unusual to locate aged care within residential areas.”

Bellbrae to vote for stand-alone firefighters BY RACHEL DELANY THE Bellbrae community will be invited to an information session at the newly-built fire station in School Road later this month, where they will be asked to vote on whether the town should have a stand-alone fire brigade. The Bellbrae fire station presently acts as a satellite station to Torquay’s fire brigade. Two fire trucks are housed in the station and would become Bellbrae’s stand-alone vehicles.
“Bellbrae has been in planning for the past six to seven years and now there seems to be enough interest in the community for a standalone fire station,� a Country Fire Authority (CFA) spokesperson said. For a stand-alone station to be feasible, there needs to be enough volunteers prepared to commit to roles within the proposed brigade for the station to run independently. The first meeting, to be held on July 29, will establish viability for the stand-alone brigade by
gauging interest and putting a motion forward. “If we’ve got enough interest, then we’ll form the brigade,� the spokesperson said. “The second meeting will be about forming a brigade by electing a leadership team such as the captain, lieutenants, treasurer and secretary.� As Torquay becomes increasingly urbanised, its risk profile is changing to being structurally based, while Bellbrae remains rural and at risk of wildfire. Both scenarios require different training.
The CFA says as the population increases, there will be mounting pressures on emergency services. The first meeting will be held at Bellbrae Fire Station, 80 School Road from 7-8.30pm on July 29. The second meeting will be held in the same location from 7-8.30pm on August 12. If all goes well, the stand-alone Bellbrae brigade will be in operation by October 1. Express your interest to join the Bellbrae or Torquay fire brigades by contacting Phil Campbell on 0414 614 577 or email a.vorvis@cfa.vic.gov.au.
Offensive material was discovered all over the Bell BY ALI DEANE SURF COAST Shire is seeking any information regarding offensive posters that were found glued to the walls of the Bells Beach toilet block last weekend. More than 30 posters had been pasted across the Indigenous mural on the exterior of the building, and more were discovered inside, displaying logos such as “White Pride World Wide�, “White Revolution�, with disturbing imagery and quotes from international white supremacist criminals. The Bells Beach toilet block was painted in 1996 by local artists Mark Trinham and Glenn Romanis, thanks to a Surf Coast Shire and Surfers

ALL the creatures in the enchanted Bellbrae forest came out to play at the Bellbrae Primary School Prep Royal Fairytale Ball last Tuesday. Prep students dressed up as their favourite princesses, pirates, princes and animals for the day and were joined by the rest of the school for a special morning of fun and dancing. Prep pupils Zac and Harry agreed that dancing to their favourite songs was the best part of the ball. Prep coordinator Rosa Genitori said she organised the ball with teacher Sharni Ward to celebrate the students spending term two learning about various nursery rhymes. They have been discovering famous fairytales through language, reading, writing, maths, singing, dancing and art activities. “They have had so much fun learning about all of the famous stories and they have even been writing some fairytales of their own, it’s a very inspirational way for them to learn,” she said. “They really engage with the stories, and then we conclude with the ball, it brings it all to life for them and it’s a great celebration of their learning.” A crowd of parents were delighted to watch the royal subjects boogie the morning away while the older students taught them some new moves.

Community groups net council grants BY TIFFANY PILCHER SURF Coast community groups have been given a lift with council’s latest announcement of small grants last week. A total of 38 initiatives received a share in $39,483 of funding including environmental, arts and culture, recreation, transport projects and community events. Shire mayor Libby Coker said the grants helped local community groups make a significant difference throughout the shire. “Today is a great day to be able to celebrate what’s great about being a part of the Surf Coast and support the groups that enrich the community. “We have really active and strong community groups throughout the shire, from Torquay to Winchelsea, Deans Marsh to Lorne and Connewarre, and council’s grants programs have provided important opportunities for council to support their efforts.�
Torquay Hockey Club president Andrew Crowley gratefully accepted $1,100 in funding on behalf of the club to purchase goal keeping equipment for their rapidly growing teams. “We’re very pleased, it’s essential for developing clubs to have support from local government so we can continue to grow,� he said. “So many new people and families move here and they turn to sporting clubs first to become integrated in the community. We need to continue to support that as well as our long term residents through social and physical activity and that’s why these grants are so important.� The council provides two rounds of grants each year, with $60,000 included in the 2012/13 budget. This round included $10,000 in Surf Coast Connect grants for transport and access related initiatives, which have been funded by the state government through its Transport Connections program. Another $60,000 is proposed for grants in council’s 2013/14 draft budget.
Libby Coker and Andrew Crowley picked up some sticks to celebrate council’s community grants announcement last week.
Budget finds more money for community projects BY JAMES TAYLOR Surf Coast Shire has upped its spending for community groups following responses to its 201314 draft budget. At their meeting last week, councillors adopted the final version of the budget, which includes an extra $40,000 towards sporting and recreation projects. Most of the figure comprises $15,000 towards reviewing a 2009 feasability study into the long
awaited Surf Coast Aquatic Centre. Cr Rose Hodge welcomed the funding but said the review would not restart the investigations into the aquatic centre, slated to be built in the community and civic precinct. “It certainly won’t be a full study as we don’t want to go over old ground.� Cr Brian McKiterick agreed. “There are a lot of barriers [to the project] and we are working hard to remove them,� he said. The extra funding includes a further contribution

of $10,000 towards building a skate park in Connewarre, to complement funding dedicated to the project in previous budgets. There is also $10,000 to provide cricket practice nets at Aireys Inlet Primary School and $5,000 to begin planning for hockey facilities within Surf Coast Shire. The council has also amended allocations to a number of projects and brought forward $584,000 in funding for a turf soccer pitch at Banyul Warri Fields, which will provide additional training and competition
standard facilities as well as strengthening the Surf Coast’s bid to host a training base for the 2015 Asia Cup. Allocations for five projects were deferred for consideration in the 2014-15 budget. Shire mayor Libby Coker said the strong community engagement in the preparation of the budget was welcome. “The release of the council’s draft budget presents an opportunity for the community to engage with the council about its priorities.� Budget versions available at surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Draft electoral boundaries announced
Tuesday 2 July 2013
Paramedics pushed to the limit BY JAMES TAYLOR A TORQUAY paramedic says a horror night for the ambulance system in Geelong last week only underlines the union’s calls for better pay and conditions. The two sides – Ambulance Employees Australia versus Ambulance Victoria (AV) and the state government – have been negotiating the latest enterprise bargaining agreement for 10 months. Last week, several incidents that all occurred on Wednesday in the Geelong region were revealed, including nine ambulances “ramped” (or forced
BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC) has released its proposed maps of how the borders of the state government electorates should change ahead of next year’s election. The review of electoral boundaries, known as a redivision, aims to give every electorate a roughly equal number of voters (within 10 per cent of the state average) so each vote in an election has the same value. Demographic changes over time put electorates out of balance, so a redivision is legally mandated when there have been two general elections since the last redivision. Of the local seats, South Barwon will see the biggest changes. The electorate was found to be 20.88 above average and expanding rapidly, so will lose Belmont and part of Highton to the seat of Geelong to bring it 7.23 per cent below average. Despite suggestions from the Liberal Party and several citizens, Barwon Heads will not be added to the seat of Bellarine, with small changes to lower the electorate from 10.46 per cent above average to 4.72 per cent above. Only minor adjustments will be made to Polwarth in the east, where it gains the Lake Modewarre area from South Barwon. In the north, the electorate expands to take in the Woorndoo area and the southern fringes of Pyrenees Shire. Any person or organisation may lodge a written suggestion or objection about the proposed boundaries with the EBC. The deadline for suggestions or objections is July 29. Head to ebc.vic.gov.au/ proposedBoundaries.html for information, including maps and the EBC’s full report.
to wait with a patient needing admission) outside Geelong Hospital, and that the closest ambulance to a person in Ocean Grove suffering severe respiratory distress was 55 kilometres away. Torquay paramedic David Watson, who worked that night, said people calling triple zero were being told to get in their own car and drive to hospital. “We’re not a third world country – people should be getting a service when they call. Torquay people can’t assume they’ll get a local ambulance if they call triple zero – we might be in Geelong.” The government has offered a 2.5 per cent pay rise, with any further increases offset by productivity
gains. Health Minister David Davis said the union should accept AV’s offer of voluntary conciliation before the Fair Work Commission, which he said was made 100 days ago last Friday. “This dispute has dragged on far too long, and the ambulance union has not been genuine in trying to come to an agreement.” However, Mr Watson said AV was not accepting the union’s productivity paper as part of the conciliation. He said paramedics were not prepared to give up conditions such as annual leave for a five per cent pay rise, and the union was only pushing for parity with paramedics in other states.

Cheeseman hails Rudd’s return BY JAMES TAYLOR THE change of prime ministers has made Corangamite Federal MP Darren Cheeseman bullish about holding Australia’s most marginal seat at the federal election, whenever it might be. Kevin Rudd returned to the leadership of the Australian Labor Party after defeating Julia Gillard in last week’s leadership spill, and opinion polls taken over the weekend saw an immediate improvement in Labor’s election prospects. Mr Cheeseman – who has been vocal in his support for Mr Rudd – said Ms Gillard had done a fine job in implementing Labor policy, including DisabilityCare Australia. “The reality was we weren’t competitive with her as prime minister. “All of the published opinion polls over the weekend show Labor is very competitive now. “Kevin is certainly very competitive, and is playing to win.” The prime minister has said the election will not be held on September 14 but has not yet decided on a new date. Mr Cheeseman said a poll towards the end of November looked like a “standout” date for him. Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson called on the prime minister to immediately announce the election. “Our view is Prime Minister Rudd

should name the election date for as soon as possible and allow the people of Australia to decide straight away. “People are utterly sick and tired of this circus.” She said nothing had changed from the Corangamite perspective with the change of prime ministers. “I’ve always held the view that every vote would count in Corangamite, and it would go down to the wire.

“Darren Cheeseman is sounding rather cocky about his prospects. Unlike Darren, I’m not taking this election for granted.” Yesterday, Mr Rudd announced his new ministry, which included Corio Federal MP and Rudd supporter Richard Marles as Trade Minister. Mr Cheeseman congratulated his colleague for the appointment. “I think it’ll be really good for the Geelong region to have eyes and ears in cabinet.”

A REQUEST by the Winchelsea Gun Club to run a 12-month trial event on Winchelsea Common has been shot down by the Surf Coast Shire. The club has been unable to use the common since the shire closed it to all users in February to carry out a risk assessment into the high levels of lead shot in the area. A new home for the gun club is yet to be found. Club president Robert Brown submitted a proposal in May, backed by a petition with more than 200 signatures, for a 12-month trial using steel shot and biodegradable targets. At last week’s meeting, councillors agreed with the officers’ recommendation to refuse the request on several grounds, including that it would put the shire at risk of legal action and it would be a breach of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act. Both Winchelsea ward councillors spoke in favour of rejecting the gun club’s request.
Although he moved the motion “with some disappointment”, Cr Rod Nockles said he found himself unable to support the gun club’s petition. “It’s been a difficult process for councillors, officers, gun club members and the broader community of Winchelsea. “I do believe the gun club have approached the process in good faith; they have not tried to politicise the process in any way.” Cr Heather Wellington said there was a clear public health risk on the common but the council had a responsibility to help the club find a sustainable location for its sport. She said a planning application for a site in Prices Lane, Ombersley had generated high levels of anxiety in the community, and the council should continue looking for alternate sites. “Unfortunately, this will end up at VCAT (the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal), and we might end up, after a period, and find there’s no solution.”

It has now been over a week since the horrific on field accident to Lorne’s Casey Tutungi rocked the Geelong Football world and sent shock waves through the entire Lorne community. Casey has been receiving the very best of treatment and care since being operated on at the Austin Hospital just over a week ago. Unfortunately Casey has severely damaged his spinal cord along with his 4th and 5th vertebra. Since the operation Casey’s condition has been stabilised with the real damage being to his spinal cord and its functions which control his body’s movements. Spinal injury results in swelling and inflammation which can take considerable time to subside. It’s only then that assessment of injury can be completed. For this reason, Casey will remain in the spinal unit at the Austin hospital where he continues to receive the best of care. A group of Lorne people led by Peter Spring, Cr Clive Goldsworthy, Mark Trickey and myself have been working behind the scenes to put a support plan in place for the entire family, to assist with any matter irrespective of the size of the task. Anyone who would like to be kept up to date with Casey’s progress or look to offer assistance and support in any way is encouraged to contact our support group on 0414 774 977 or register your details to lorne4casey@gmail.com. On the 20th of June, Nicky Muxworthy, Cr Clive Goldsworthy, Peter Spring and myself attended the function rooms of Melbourne law firm Davies Collinson Cave Law to give a presentation to a cross section of our non-permanent population under the title of “Linking Arms”. The event, initiated by the Committee for Lorne (CfL), brought together lawyers, senior council, merchant bankers, transport magnates and business people from all sectors who also share a common passion for Lorne. The initiative of the CfL was to bring together a representative sample of non-resident property owners, whom occupy 78% of the total residential dwellings in Lorne, to explore the desires and feelings of this large stakeholder group in “Linking Arms with the Locals” and unlock the unlimited expertise that exists across this entire network. The evening was an outstanding success and the feedback received has injected great enthusiasm to the CfL to develop the concept and relationships further. I must reinforce a very special thank you to Mr Ian Pascarl of Davies Collinson Cave Law for their very generous hospitality on the evening. g

Lorne gets a Toy Library Lorne Community House is thrilled to announce that we have won two grants to enable a Lorne Toy Library to get up and running! The first is a $1,000 Community Grant from the Surf Coast Shire Small Grants Program and the second is $6,000 from the Geelong Community Foundation which funds new projects that benefit the Geelong and/or Surf Coast communities. Katy Kennedy, the Lorne Community House Co-ordinator, Nicky Muxworthy, a Lorne resident with twin toddlers and Heather (Het) Ramp, from Lorne Community Hospital are the driving force that have enabled this dream to become a reality. Katy, who wrote the grant applications, feels a Toy Library will be a great addition to Community House’s offering to the community. “The Toy Library is not just about kids and toys; it provides a great opportunity for social interaction for children, parents and carers together with senior members of the community. Being parents of small children can be an isolating time so the more connections we can make, the better.” Nicky will be responsible for selecting and purchasing the toys, utilising 3 years of experience as the Purchasing Officer at the Port Melbourne Toy Library. “Having been a long-term member of a toy library, I’ve seen first-hand how much young children love getting a ‘new’ set of toys to play with each fortnight. My eldest child Dylan always looked forward to our visits to the Toy Library with much excitement and he got to enjoy so many different toys including ones I wouldn’t ordinarily have even thought to buy him! I want my twins to benefit from the very varied and educational toys that toys libraries offer as well, which is why I’m happy to put in the initial work required to enable the Lorne Toy Library to happen.” Toy Libraries provide many benefits. For the cost of one toy you have access to hundreds of quality toys. You can borrow toys that are matched to your child’s individual needs, development and interests; avoid having bulky toys permanently occupying your lounge room; prevent costly and frustrating mistakes of
COMMUNITY PROFILE
buying toys that are not enjoyed or used; and help the environment by borrowing rather than purchasing. They also provide a great way of meeting the other young families that live in and around your area. The Lorne Toy Library will include standard ‘toy library’ toys such as baby and toddler toys, ride-ons, sports equipment, building and construction toys, dress-ups, instruments, puzzles, educational toys and ‘play and pretend’ toys. It will also include books, games and DVDs which will be a bonus for families in the Lorne area. Although Katy and Nicky have identified an excellent facility for the Lorne Toy Library, funding is not currently available to convert it into a space appropriate for a Toy Library. The Surf Coast Shire has however identified the value of having a Toy Library in Lorne, so Council have submitted an application for the cost of the conversion in the 20132014 draft budget and we hope to receive good news soon. In the meantime, Toy Library on-line borrowing software will be used to facilitate an innovative model that will enable the Toy Library to ‘open’ without an official space and in a way that will improve community ties. Toys will not be ‘stored’ between borrowings and will instead remain in the home of the family recorded in the software as having the toy ‘on loan’ until the next family wants to borrow it. That family will then contact the first to arrange the transfer. The Lorne Toy Library will cater for children from 5 months to 5 years and memberships will be open to the whole community, including parents, grandparents and carers. The annual membership fee will be $40, with a 50% discount for health card and pension card holders. The next step is for working bees to be arranged to get the toys ready for use and when that’s done, there will be an official launch where members can sign up and start borrowing! If you want to be kept informed on the progress and/or are able to offer help, please contact Nicky on 0411 711 001 or nicola.muxworthy@ gmail.com.

Community benefits from a lionhearted effort BY JAMES TAYLOR THE incoming leaders of the Torquay Lions Club have been set a high bar, with the outgoing team donating more than $29,000 to the community over the past 12 months. The Lions Club held its changeover dinner at the Wyndham Resort Torquay on Thursday, where retiring president Theo Reyntjes presented the last cheques to local groups. He acknowledged the support of Torquay people and visitors who generously donated to the Lions fundraising efforts over the past 12 months. “We work for community, whether it is local, national or international. But to provide the support to our communities, we have to rely on our local community and visitors to the region.” The Torquay Marine Rescue Service received the highest individual amount of $2,500, which will go towards a new rescue boat, and $2,000 each went to the Torquay Junior Cricket Club and Relay for Life. Several local organisations received $1,000, including the SES, Jan Juc and Torquay life saving clubs, Spring Creek House and the Surfcoast
Veterans Centre. Scholarships were provided to students at Torquay’s schools and many other groups or individuals also received help. Mr Reyntjes said most of the money raised came from sausage sizzles, pub raffles, the Lions Train and the summer raffle. “The $29,400 raised from locals and visitors has been spread across organisations, groups or causes that needed support. “Almost $22,000 was distributed locally and $7,000 went to national and international causes.” Incoming president Barry Mackie said the Torquay Lions Club would continue to maintain its active presence in the local region, but has encouraged greater service participation by members as well as continuing to raise funds for projects. “Fundraising is a necessary part of our activities. But I would like to see more of Torquay’s Lions become involved in working on projects that benefit the wider Australian and international community as well as meet local needs. We are always looking for men and women to join our club to help in our community service work.” Lions president Theo Reyntjes presents $2,500 to Torquay Marine Rescue Service treasurer Peter Campbell.

AIREYS Inlet was comedy central on Sunday Night as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow rolled into town for a few hours of hijinks and hilarity. More than 200 people filled the Aireys Pub to see hilarious MC Dave Williams host a lineup of revered and riotous comedians from Australia and the UK.

Australia’s Nick Cody and Nath Valvo had the crowds in stitches, while the mischievous and outrageous antics of puppet Randy was a clear stand out for many. Zoe Lyons came all the way from the UK to entertain with her razor sharp wit mixed with a good dose of silliness and satire. This is the second year in a row Aireys Pub has hosted the event, and manager Daniel Sordello said it was a smash hit once again.
“It was fantastic, there were even more people this year than last, it was a whole different lineup and you could see all the locals were having a great time. “We love having it here because it’s something different for the community and who doesn’t loves a laugh?” The roadshow will now continue on its 78-stop journey bringing laughs to people in the most farflung places across the country.

Art students go wild on marine debris win BY TIFFANY PILCHER GRADE 4 pupils from Lorne Aireys Inlet P-12 College have proven their artistic prowess by taking out a nationwide art competition by highlighting the issue of marine debris. The competition was organised by environmental program TeachWild, who visited the school on Wednesday to personally congratulate the students and present them with certificates. TeachWild program manager Geraldine Davis said she was excited to meet the students who had come up with such an original entry. “The kids are very excited – as are we,
it’s been a terrific day and a great chance to meet a big group of very clever kids. “The theme for the competition was ‘helping hands’ and their entry showed marine debris they had collected arranged in a huge hand print on the beach with all their hands surrounding it, their level of creativity was fantastic. “It was a nice combination of looking at marine debris but also explaining that you can use your hands to eradicate the problem.” The winning entry faced stiff competition from students from prep through to year 11 from across the country and students from every year
level at Lorne Aireys Inlet P-12 who also entered the contest. TeachWild surveys the distribution of marine debris to better protect marine life, and the organisation’s student initiative aims to raise awareness and involvement among young people. Ms Davis said she was taken aback at the students’ knowledge of marine environmental issues. “They were so engaged throughout the whole discussion and asked so many detailed questions about advances in marine debris research. “They’re obviously very connected to their local coastline.”

DisabilityCare begins in Barwon BY JAMES TAYLOR HELP for local people with a disability, their families and carers has begun with yesterday’s launch of DisablityCare Australia in the Barwon region. The trial sites for what will eventually be an Australia-wide scheme officially started providing services yesterday, with about 5,000 people in Geelong and the Surf Coast to be covered. People with disability and their families, service providers, and local
community and government leaders gathered at the Geelong Town Hall on Sunday to celebrate the Victorian launch. Premier Denis Napthine said it had been a massive effort and significant achievement to bring DisabilityCare to the Barwon region. “Whether you are a person with disability, a disability service provider, advocate, community member, family member or carer of a person with disability, you have all played a part in achieving this result.
“And the fact that Geelong has been announced as the national headquarters of DisabilityCare Australia is further testament that Barwon has a strong local disability services sector, and the strong backing of the broader community.” The state government has provided $300 million over three years for services for people with a disability in the Barwon launch area, and another $25 million to establish the DisabilityCare Australia headquarters. Minister for Disability Services
and Reform Mary Wooldridge said Victoria was committed to working with the federal government, people with disability, carers, families, and service providers to ensure the launch period sets up the scheme for a successful rollout across Victoria from July 2016. “The experiences of participants and their families and carers will be fundamental to the success and future development of the scheme.” “This is why the Coalition government has committed $400,000 for a new
advocacy and leadership initiative for NDIS participants, to be delivered in the Barwon region by the Committee for Geelong. “The LEAD (Leading, Educating and Advocating for Disability) Barwon initiative will provide participants – clients of DisabilityCare, or family members or carers of people with a disability – with training to develop skills as advocates and leaders and publicly share their experience of DisabilityCare Australia.”

Funds flow for students and retirees BY JAMES TAYLOR
SELF funded retirees and families with school children will have started start seeing money from the federal government arriving in their bank accounts from last week. The first quarterly Clean Energy Supplement for seniors was paid from June 25, and the second instalment of the Schoolkids Bonus will be paid on July 4. Under the Clean Energy Supplement, selffunded retirees will get a payment of $88 for singles and $134 for couples. It is designed to help eligible self funded retirees with everyday expenses and meet the
impact of the carbon price. This extra money is part of the federal government’s Household Assistance Package and will be paid alongside the regular Seniors Supplement. Corangamite Federal MP Darren Cheeseman said eligible seniors would thus receive more than $300 for singles and more than $450 for couples. “Pensioners have already begun receiving their fortnightly Clean Energy Supplement, worth more than $350 a year for singles and more than $530 a year for couples.” He said about 1,600 families in the Surf Coast would start receiving the second instalment of the Schoolkids Bonus in time for parents to purchase
back to school items for term 3. “The Schoolkids Bonus is a very popular Labor initiative that helps local Surf Coast families prepare for the second half of the school year.” “In total 1,600 Surf Coast families will share in $1.67 million of Schoolkids Bonus which will help 2,850 local primary and secondary students start the second half of the school year. Eligible families will receive $205 for each child in primary school, and $410 for each child in high school. “This money helps parents buy uniforms, shoes, school books and stationery, as well as other costs like school excursions, music lessons and sports registration fees,” Mr Cheeseman said.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.
What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.
Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.
Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

PHIL Brancatisano of 3228 Blinds wants to use his business to support the local community by committing to Torquay Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC). The company will donate five per cent of all sales to the Torquay SLSC in support of the club. This agreement came to being when 3228 Blinds completed a job for the SLSC. “We want to put back into the community – we’ve been in the blinds business for eight years in Tullamarine, and started the business down here a year ago. “We’ve got young kids and we want to equip them and other kids with everything that they need.” Mr Brancatisano has been a frequent visitor to family and friends in the area for over ten years and finally made the move himself a year ago. “We are focused on bringing good competition to the current market. Coupled with excellent reliable local service, we believe we have a winning combination. We’re in the business of repeat business. What we’re here to do is save people money – that’s our prime objective – without compromising quality. “We will beat any written quote.” Keeping up with all the latest in high quality fabrics and materials, the family owned business uses Australian products as much as possible and works with all the big manufacturers of fabrics in the world. Keeping inspired with all the latest designs, 3228 Blinds attend the annual trade show BMAA in Queensland. “Our main fabric supplier is Shaw of Australia, a Sydney-based company. We try to keep it as local as possible, which is also helpful if there are any problems we can sort things out quickly.” Mr Brancatisano is committed to his customers to the point where he sees the job as an ongoing service. “We’re 100 per cent committed to our customer service and turn-around times are between 7-10 days. “Our style is our client’s style. Customer service for us is paramount.” For more information, phone 0434 171 581 or head to 3228blinds.com.

Men shed new light on socialising BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE Torquay Men’s Shed is expanding its program to involve more local men in social activity through regular day trips and a new choir. The choir is already a hit with the group meeting for an afternoon of “Singing at the Shed” on Mondays at 1.30pm. Men’s Shed spokesperson Ray Busby said the choir brings the men together to enjoy singing as part of a group and it’s also emotionally and psychologically beneficial. “The aim is to harness the therapeutic value of singing and we are keen to add to our numbers,” he said. The Men’s Shed group has also been hitting the road for social days out including friendly dart tournaments and a recent trip to a Werribee hanger to see the restoration of a B24 Bomber. “We’ve introduced some new social activities that don’t involve work because that’s what around 60
per cent of our members come here for.” Mr Busby said the Men’s Shed was a supportive and successful program for men who are facing isolation, depression and other social and emotional issues. “Some members have lost touch with their friends or their partner has passed away and the kids don’t live nearby. “We also have a lot of sea changers who move here then find they have a very limited social network. “When you’re in these situations it’s very easy to dive into a big black hole and the shed offers a place men can go where there are no drugs or alcohol. “We find the feeling of inclusion is the best part for most people, if we can get them here three weeks in a row, they’re saved.” All men are welcome to join. For more information, phone 0498 972 863. The shed is located at the rear of the old Torquay police station at 18 Price Street, Torquay.

Group takes a breath to celebrate BY JAMES TAYLOR MOTHERS and children have helped celebrate the seventh birthday of a free Torquay playgroup. Take a Breath Playgroup started at St Luke’s Anglican Church in mid-June seven years ago, and the mothers and children now attending the group in the church hall celebrated the anniversary with a party last month. Playgroup organiser Rosemary Faris said about 80 families had passed through Take a Breath since it began.
“I think we’re surprised by how many have stayed with us. “Some of these children have been with us all of their lives.” A joint project between Spring Creek Community House and a group of older women at St Luke’s, Take a Breath was started as an offering to the community for mothers to come along with their preschool aged children and babies and have a break, while older women from the church entertained the children. Many of the children have grandparents who live
overseas, so the surrogate “grannies” of St Luke’s bridge a generational gap. Many of the grannies have grandchildren interstate, so the playgroup children remind the grandparents of their own absent younger relatives. One of the group’s notable achievements in the seven years has been the production of the Cook Good Food for a Good Cause recipe book, which has raised about $5,000. For more information, head to surfcoastanglican. org.au.

Grant helps supermarket see the light BY JAMES TAYLOR
Ryan’s Supa IGA in Torquay is using a grant to install energy-efficient lighting.
P 03 5241 2664 www.livingetc.com.au Cnr High St & Mt Pleasant Rd Belmont 3216
A TORQUAY supermarket is among 17 medium sized Victorian businesses sharing in more than $380,000 of state government funding to improve their energy and materials efficiency. Ryan’s Supa IGA in Gilbert Street will receive $8,500 towards its $16,500 project to install energy efficient lighting. The funding is part of the first round of the $10 million Smarter Resources, Smarter Businesses program. The grants range from $8,000 to $50,000. Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith, who announced the funding last week, said many medium sized businesses lacked access to ways to find and implement resource efficiency measures. “Through the Smarter Resources, Smarter Businesses program, these businesses can get the help they need to reduce environmental impacts, while also reducing operating costs, especially energy costs, which are now significantly higher as a result of the federal government’s carbon tax.
“The sectors represented include manufacturing, retail, hospitality and service providers, with funding supporting projects from heating, lighting and cooling upgrades, insulation of wine tanks and packaging redesign to more efficient cutting equipment.” Mr Smith said the 17 successful businesses expected to save a combined $390,000 a year in their material and energy use. “These kinds of savings can make a huge difference to the profitability of a medium sized business, which can in turn lead to more jobs for Victorians.” The program will also support leadership and networking opportunities for businesses and encourage the uptake of more sustainable business solutions. It will be delivered in partnership with industry associations and will operate in the second half of the year. Smarter Resources, Smarter Business is open to all businesses with between 20 and 199 employees operating in Victoria, and a second round of funding opens later this year.

when needed. All welcome. For enquiries about the committee and if you are interested in volunteering your services, phone David Cheatley on 0419 529 210. Bike marking initiative We are negotiating with the local primary schools to carry out “bike marking” soon. Neighbourhood Watch has the equipment to permanently engrave ID information on the children’s bikes so that, if they are stolen or lost, police can identify and return the bikes to their owners. More news through your local school. Neighbourhood Watch at Freshwater Creek Our neighbours now have NHW support. Large metal NHW signs have been erected by the Surf Coast Council at both ends of Blackgate and Dickens roads. Bin stickers have been given to both the service station and cake shop for locals to use and we will leave our newsletters at both shops for passers-by to pick up. Many thanks to the Surf Coast Shire for their support and time. The Theme in July – Personal Safety Everyone has the right to feel safe and secure in our community. Consider the following tips when out and about: • Walk confidently and be aware of your surroundings. Notice street names. • Leave one ear unplugged when using your walkman, iPod or MP3 player • Bags and handbags should be carried close to you. • If your bag is grabbed, release it and spill contents on the ground. • Be wary of people asking your advice, help or money when out in public. • Complain loudly if being harassed and call out for help.
• Have your keys ready to quickly enter your home or car. • At night, keep to well-lit streets and major thoroughfares. • Don’t leave your handbag or purse on top of a shopping trolley, counter, or hanging on the back of a seat in a restaurant. • In restaurants, put your bag on the floor between your feet. Put your foot on or through the strap so that you can feel if the bag is moved. Be alert, be aware of your environment Myki Tickets From July 24, myki will be operating on the V/Line trains to Marshall. You already need myki for bus trips and you can now buy myki tickets, as well as topping them up, on McHarry’s buses. For comprehensive information, check ptv. vic.gov.au/tickets/myki for the full list of retail outlets. The closest outlets are at the Torquay Road Milkbar at 205 Torquay Road, Grovedale and at the 7/11 at 325 Latrobe Terrace, South Geelong. Community Support Registers Do you know someone who lives alone and feels isolated? The Community Support Register can help. There are a number of community support registers operating throughout Victoria that aim to improve the wellbeing and feelings of security and confidence of those in need of support. There are two Registers operating in the Geelong region – the Bellarine Police Community Support Register and the Geelong Community
Support Register. The registers are a database of health and family information voluntarily provided by those in need of community support. The information can be provided if the person cannot provide it themselves due to an accident, fall or illness. Police, ambulance, hospital and fire services can quickly gain access the register but only in an emergency. Information can include: • doctor/pharmacist details • medical history and details about any disabilities • people to contact in an emergency • pets and who is to care for them Regular phone calls can also be arranged to people who are feeling isolated and would benefit from social contact. The same kind of support can be given to your neighbours informally, as suggested by the Neighbour Day cards we distributed in March.

We need people who want to contribute their skills and energy to helping local Police keep the community safer through promoting an awareness of neighbourliness and safety considerations. There are many ways we do this: The Newsletter is delivered to homes every two months and usually contains reminders about safety and security as well as the local NHW events. “On the Beat” printed in the Surf Coast Times monthly. Events include the promotion of Neighbour Day each March, distribution of reminders about not leaving items in cars, Safe Plate Days, information stalls at local festivals, and identification markings on personal valued items. We have good links with other commmunity organisations such as the Men’s Shed, the SES, CFA and Lions Club. Our coordinator has been leading the committee for 6 years and would like to be able to hand the responsibility over to another communityminded person. The existing coordinator would remain on the committee to support the new coordinator. Our Treasurer will be resigning after six years of service in that position. He tells us that there are limited transactions a month and it’s an easy job – about six hours recording per year done manually. He will also be on hand for advice

Spring Creek gets spruce up Keep fire safe at home in winter
BY ALI DEANE
A MASSIVE day for local environment groups saw 800 local Indigenous species planted along the Spring Creek Corridor in Torquay, part of a series of plantings to improve the habitat for local wildlife. Torquay Landcare Group was joined by representatives from Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network (SCIPN), Torquay Coast Action, Friends of Eastern Otways, Bunnings staff, students and local residents. The plantings were part of a project to revegetate
a two-kilometre stretch of Spring Creek, from the bridge on the Surf Coast Highway to Duffields Road. This was the first of a number of plantings, with natives grown from seeds from the site. And the project was made possible thanks to a Caring for Country grant. The area was in need of attention and the site is of particular significance as its walking track is named after local landcare pioneer John Bowman. Torquay Landcare Group is made up of around 60 people who are behind numerous local events to improve the environment. Over the last five years they have been involved
in many coastal re-vegetation projects. In September, Quiksilver staff will join forces with Torquay Landcare for more plantings and weed removal along Spring Creek and coastal areas. The group greatly welcome new members or anyone wanting to join in on planting days, which are catered with lunch. If you would like to join Torquay Landcare Group, or do your bit for the environment, email torquaylandcare@gmail.com, phone Margot on 0428 526 056 or drop a line at PO Box 431 Torquay 3228. Membership is $10 per year.

RACV is urging Victorians to make sure they are fire safe after a 27 per cent surge in winter house fire claims last year. According to data from RACV Insurance, there were 206 claims for fire damage lodged between June 1 and August 31 in 2012, up from 162 during the same period in 2011. RACV Insurance general manager Paul Northey said it was particularly concerning that the number of fires caused by heaters and electric blankets almost doubled, while the number of damage claims lodged after fires escaped fireplaces increased by 66 per cent. “With cold weather affecting much of the state, residents should be aware of the risks posed by unattended or faulty heaters, electric blankets and items being placed too close to heaters and fireplaces. “We urge all Victorians to make sure their heater is in good working order and no items are placed within one metre of the heater while it is in use.” The figures show the kitchen is the most common place for a fire to start, accounting for almost a quarter of all winter house fire claims. “Residents should always ensure they do not leave cooking unattended, and that their stove and other appliances are in good working order.” Mr Northey said the latest figures clearly demonstrated the need for all households to ensure they have sufficient working smoke alarms. “Working smoke alarms can be the difference between life and death in the event of a house fire, and residents should test them regularly.” Mr Northey noted that with the average winter fire claim costing almost $34,000, the cost of repairing fire damage could cause financial hardship for residents lacking adequate insurance cover. “We’re encouraging residents to ... review their level of cover, especially if they have recently renovated or purchased a major new item.”

Fatal crashes down in Surf Coast BY JAMES TAYLOR REGIONAL and rural roads continue to remain a concern for road safety authorities despite the falling road toll. The latest statistics from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) reveal a spike in fatalities and injuries on regional Victorian roads compared to Melbourne. Between April 2012 and April 2013, there were 160 deaths in regional Victoria, an increase of 7 per
cent on the previous 12 months. However, the Surf Coast saw a significant reduction, with only four fatalities compared to the 11 recorded the previous year. In Melbourne, there were 109 fatalities in the same period, down from 129 (a 16 per cent reduction). TAC chief executive officer Janet Dore said the statistics served as a tragic reminder of the need for Victorians to take extra care on country roads. “Injuries involving a hospital admission have increased four per cent in rural Victoria, with 1,863
heading to hospital after a crash. “This compared to a two per cent drop in Melbourne.” Ms Dore said one of the strategies to improve Victoria’s regional road toll was the Safer Road Infrastructure Program (SRIP), which the TAC had dedicated $1 billion over the next 10 years. “SRIP allows for work ranging from the sealing of shoulders, installation of rumble lines, wire rope barriers or guardrails to intersection improvements. “These improvements are targeted to roads where
they are most needed in terms of reducing fatality and serious injury crashes.” She said VicRoads coordinates SRIP – one of the key programs in the state government’s 10-year Road Safety Strategy, with the support of TAC funding. “Whether it’s through improving our road network, enhancing vehicle safety or changing attitudes to speed we have a range of ways that we can reduce regional road trauma. “Ultimately, we want to make every journey a safe one for all Victorians.”
Driving the automotive dollar further BY JAMES TAYLOR THE RACV has revealed the results of a survey designed to help Australians get the most out of their motoring dollar. RACV’s 2013 Driving Your Dollars survey looked at 110 new car models and found the small car class was the most competitive in terms of its costs to own and operate, with less than three dollars per week separating the top seven cars.
THIS YEAR
LAST YEAR
A regional partnership with TAC and the Victorian Government Maintain vigilance about road safety. (Rural Vic Toll YTD) The above figures represent regional Victoria’s road toll.
This competition is also seen in the marketplace with small cars making up almost a quarter of total vehicle sales. The calculations for the Driving Your Dollars survey were based on private ownership of a vehicle for a five-year period and driving an average of 15,000 kilometres each year. The leader of the light car category was the Mitsubishi Mirage ES. With an estimated on-road price of $15,459, its weekly running costs amount to a modest $112.81 a week. Last year’s cheapest car, the Suzuki Alto GL, remains the cheaper vehicle to buy with an on-road price of $14,418. However, it is more expensive to run, representing a deduction of $114.27 from the weekly household budget. At the other end of the spectrum, the most expensive vehicle in the survey was the new Nissan Patrol ST-L. With a driveaway price of $88,488, it costs $397.84 a week to keep on the road. RACV manager of vehicle engineering Michael Case said car owners were in a good position to take advantage of lower loan costs, but advised them to look beyond the price when shopping for a new car. “Look for the hidden costs. Depreciation is the biggest single cost in owning a car, even if you don’t see it until it’s time to sell. “Be fully aware of all of the operating costs – know how much it costs to have the car serviced, to fill the tank, replace tyres, pay insurance, rego, stamp duty, and spare parts. “Don’t be swayed by emotion and ask yourself – am I buying the car I want or the car I need? “And finally, do your homework before you hit the showroom.” The data was collected in the period leading up to May of this year. Head to racv.com.au/ drivingyourdollars to see the full survey.
According to the RACV, a Mitsuibishi Mirage ES costs $112.81 per week to own and operate.

Stay toasty in a new Patagonia suit BY ALI DEANE WHILE water temperatures drop with winter setting in, it is perfect timing that the latest wetsuits have just arrived in store at Patagonia Torquay. Known for their warmth and durability, the latest Patagonia wetsuits boast new materials and features, and thanks to the justlaunched Common Threads initiative, customers who recycle their old wetsuits get a discount on a new one. The company, which centres their philosophy on environmental and social responsibility, is encouraging people to try its Common Threads initiative. It incorporates reducing what you buy, repairing what you can, reusing what you have, recycling everything else and reimagining a sustainable world. Surfers and water sports enthusiasts are encouraged to drop in their old wetsuits, to be recycled with shoes and tyres for flooring and matting in retail and office spaces. Patagonia Torquay’s new store manager, Merrin Jokic, said it was a great concept. “You can bring in any brand of wetsuit, in any condition, and then you get 10 per cent off any new wetsuit, and we recycle the old ones. “It is an important focus, because the neoprene in wetsuits doesn’t break down. We’ve already sent some suits in – we’re collaborating with Save Our Soles to create protective mats to protect the bases of the surfboards in store.” The latest Patagonia range of wetsuits feature a new hybrid grid lining of blended merino and virginal polyester for warmth in the torso and thighs, while the green recycled polyester on the arms and legs guarantees warmth and flexibility for paddling. Patagonia’s Zeb Walsh, who can often be found paddling for hours along the coastline in training for events like the Molokai to Oahu, said the new suits would be a lot more flexible and the new liquid taped outside seams would make a huge difference. “Our suits are developed by surfers, and they are designed to be warm and durable, they really last. “It depends on the person which rating (between R1 and R4) you go for. I paddle in my R1 the whole time, and if you are sitting around, waiting for a wave, the merino keeps you really warm. I’d recommend an R2 for this time of year, but it is personal preference.”

Nurses further improve mental health skills BY JAMES TAYLOR
The British and Irish Lions made a big impression on local rugby fans with their big jersey last week. The nine metre by nine metre jersey, sponsored by HSBC, is travelling across Australia to promote the games being played by the international touring side. On Wednesday, it stopped at the iconic 12 Apostles and was welcomed by a group of rugby fans in Port Campbell ahead of last Saturday’s second test against the Wallabies at Ethihad Stadium in Melbourne. The two sides will square off again in the third test this weekend at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.

MENTAL health nurses in Geelong and the Surf Coast are among 117 across Victoria to receive scholarships this year to undertake further study and training. The 12 nurses at Barwon Health will use the $3,000 scholarships from the state government to assist them in post-graduate studies. The grants for the postgraduate mental health nurse scholarships go directly to the nurses to help with the cost of tuition fees, student loans (HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP), books and equipment, travel required to attend lectures and clinical placements, child care, and other related costs. The 117 nurses have been furthering their studies at tertiary institutions, including Latrobe University, Monash University, RMIT and the University of Melbourne. Minister for Mental Health Mary Wooldridge said the 2012-13 scholarships, totalling $351,000, supported nurses in the public mental health system who wanted to engage in additional study to gain more specialised knowledge. “The Coalition government is committed to providing nurses with opportunities to improve their skills and knowledge. “By supporting the mental health workforce develop the necessary knowledge and skills to care for people across all ages and in all clinical settings – from hospital bed-based to those in the community – we will ensure that people with mental illness in Victoria receive the best possible care. “The people who work in mental health are the major strength of our system, and nurses make up a large and important proportion of that workforce.”

Project sees future ambitions flourish BY ALI DEANE
ALTHOUGH the semester long Future Ambitions project at Surf Coast Secondary College (SCSC) has come to an end, many of the projects will live on, and there is no denying the fire of ambition has been ignited. Complementing the contemporary curriculum at SCSC, year 9 students embarked on a new series of assignments in 2013, which saw them explore how they could make a positive impact on the community
using creativity and innovation – a modern take on careers class. Industry mentors from the community collaborated with students who then set to work in groups on projects including: a music video on bullying, investigations and multimedia presentations on sport in the community, facilities at the new school, a fitness evaluation for prospective police recruits and interactive e-books on fashion and team work. Students built on skills for project planning,
group collaboration, interviewing and editing as well as the confidence to go with creative ideas. Following the community presentations at the school to industry mentors and Deakin University representatives, SCSC principal Scott Diamond said it had been fantastic to see the skills the students built on throughout the semester. “This was a real learning experience. The students had to think bigger picture and develop a project they would work on over a longer period of time. “They were able to keep motivated, and gained
some important skills for entering the workforce and connecting with the community, including working with others, using time independently, and building confidence.” Assistant principal Erin Weightman said it was great to see skills developing such as the ability to overcome roadblocks and be creative. “These presentations were evidence of all the learning that has taken place, and I look forward to seeing that continue throughout year 9, the rest of school and outside of school.”
Rescues and drownings rise at the beach BY JAMES TAYLOR More than 2.8 million people were estimated to have attended beaches patrolled by volunteer life savers and paid life guards over summer, a 20 per cent increase on the previous season. Life savers and life guards performed 689 rescues across the state, attended to 1,760 first aid cases and proactively performed 85,831 actions to prevent incidents, which is a 34 per cent increase on the previous year. Life Saving Victoria general manager of life saving Paul Shannon said the 2012-13 life saving patrol season, which finished on Easter Monday, was a busy season for life savers, with high temperatures well into autumn increasing the number of people visiting the beach. “Our volunteer life savers and paid life guards have again done a fantastic job in ensuring the safety of people at Victorian beaches.” There has also been a significant increase in the number of drowning deaths on the coast. There have been 22 coastal drowning deaths this financial year to date, compared to 10 for the whole of the previous financial year.
There were three separate coastal drownings on the same day in March, including a father losing his life trying to rescue his son at St Georges River near Lorne. Mr Shannon said as beach patrols had concluded for the season, it was even more important for people visiting the beach to be aware of ever-present risks and take responsibility for their own safety. “Before you head to the beach for the day, check the weather conditions, including looking at any weather warnings and swell predictions. “An easy way to do this is to check the beachsafe.org.au website, or download the app from the app store; you can search for any beach in Australia to find out the local conditions. “When you arrive at the beach, it‘s important to check the safety signage at the entrance, to understand the hazards and dangers that are present. “It’s good practise to check with someone local, who knows the local conditions and can advise you if the location is suitable for your capabilities and activities.”

news 23 Local environmental representatives take petition to top Tuesday 2 July 2013
BY ALI DEANE REPRESENTATIVES from local environmental groups recently took a petition to both sides of state politics to urge them to support stronger environmental policies. The petition, delivered by Michael Power from Environment Victoria, Bronwyn Spark from Surf Coast Energy Group and Geelong Sustainability Group president Dave Campbell, included the names of hundreds of locals who believe the state government is not doing enough
for the environment. At the top of the list was a call to shift the state government’s focus from polluting energy sources to renewable ones, including dropping plans for a new allocation of up to 13 billion tonnes of brown coal for export, and repealing anti-wind laws. In a letter to the Surf Coast Times, Ms Spark said Australia was moving to massively increase its coal exports. “Clive Palmer’s China First is significant here and has us set to supply 80 per cent of the world’s coal exports by 2020; that’s a huge CO2
contribution.” (See letters, page 84) Mr Campbell said there were positive signs from the meetings with South Barwon Liberal MP Andrew Katos and Labor Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney. “Mr Katos was prepared to take up all of our concerns with the relevant ministers but emphasised that he was bound by party policy. “He was not prepared to change his position on the state government’s laws restricting wind turbines, but was willing to consider further evidence. “Ms Tierney undertook to scrutinise cuts to Parks
Victoria staff in this session of Parliament and to raise our environmental concerns in the August session of Parliament.” The local residents are among more than 500 campaign volunteers across Victoria who have signed up 11,000 people to the petition. Groups of volunteers will this month meet with more than 20 state MPs to deliver the petitions organised by Environment Victoria, as part of a campaign to reverse what it has called the Baillieu-Napthine government’s attacks on the environment.
Units are flood ready BY JAMES TAYLOR
SES volunteers and CFA firefighters practise building a sandbag wall near the base of the Barwon Heads Bridge.
IT HAS been nearly two decades since the Barwon River seriously flooded, but State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers from the Bellarine and Barwon Heads firefighters have kept their skills up to date. Last week, the two units held a joint flood preparedness session, where they reviewed the two major floods of the river in 1952 and 1995 and looked at ways both agencies could work cooperatively in case Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove were threatened again. SES is the control agency for flooding in Victoria and is responsible for planning for floods, and for managing flood responses in the event that they do occur. Bellarine SES unit deputy controller Andrew Turner said while SES had the resources and know-how in dealing with riverine flooding, Barwon Heads CFA had the local knowledge. “It has been 18 years since the last major flood of the Barwon River and the majority of our members were not around then, so this has been a
great way for the knowledge and lessons learned from past events to be passed on. “Barwon Heads CFA knows the area well and has strong ties to the community and it is great to know that they will be there to lend a hand if needed.” He said people should never drive, ride, walk or play in floodwater. “Not only is there a risk of drowning, floodwater itself is filthy, toxic and dangerous as it contains materials like chemicals, faeces, decaying animals, garbage and sharp debris. “Playing in floodwater may look like fun, but it isn’t.” The evening allowed both agencies to learn about the other’s roles, resources and capabilities. Captain Povey from Barwon Heads CFA said the session gave his members an idea of what to expect when confronted with a flood. “This may involve anything from warning residents, monitoring the town levee, and assisting in the sandbagging of properties. “We also have a tanker that can also be used to pump out floodwater, which would be an invaluable asset.”

Los Angeles and San Francisco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brett Robinson
Tuesday 2 July 2013
chowder Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had, Height-Asbury, where the hippy scene first started, the Golden Gate Bridge and the old Victorian style houses that will take your breath away. Going out to Alcatraz (the Rock) was amazing and should be included in any itinerary. Leave time to explore areas like Chinatown and the Bay Area and you will leave San Francisco looking forward to the next time you visit this amazing city. For more information email Brett at brett.leopold@harveyworld.com.au.
New York â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carol McCarthy I have been to America five times and am going again in October. It is definitely one of my favourite holiday destinations. The last time I went to the United States of America I visited Los Angeles and San Francisco. These two areas should be a must on your next US visit. The happiest place on earth, Disneyland in Anaheim is a masterpiece of picture perfect choreography â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the litter bins are themed. The park is divided into four different lands: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. They also have a new park called California Adventure Park which has some fantastic rides and is well worth a visit. Leave yourself at least three days to do these parks comfortably. Universal Studios is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest movie studio and probably the most fun you can have in a day. Its famous theme park, one of LAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top attractions, has gut-wrenching rides, mind-blowing special-effects shows and the studio tour, a parteducational, part-thrill ride behind the scenes of movie making. Make this a must when you visit LA next. San Francisco has an atmosphere of genteel chic mixed with offbeat innovation. Its hilly streets provide some gorgeous glimpses of the sparkling bay and its famous bridges. The treats of San Francisco are not just for locals. The basic pleasures of life here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wonderful food, sparkling nightlife and those glorious views â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are there for everyone. The highlights of San Francisco were a city tour including Lombard Street (the windiest street in the world), Pier 39, where you can eat the best clam
W fi We finally ll visited i it d N New York Y k but b t there th was a catch t hâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; we only had six nights. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to do everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that would take years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the city that never sleeps, right? So with the right plan and plenty of enthusiasm we moved fast and managed to squeeze in so much in such a short time, even allowing for cocktail breaks. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little idea of what I think are the must see and do things in New York: â&#x20AC;˘ see the skyline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; head to the top of the Rockefeller Centre. The vantage spot opens at 8am and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beat the biggest crowds if you get there early. Late at night works too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close until midnight. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get one of the best views of New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary skyline. Another good viewing spot is the revolving bar/restaurant on top of the Marriott Hotel. Then head down to Times Square to see the lights, buskers, and crowds from the ground. The shops are open all night! â&#x20AC;˘ Central Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how big the city is grab a bike (we chose to do a bike tour) and ride around Central Park. â&#x20AC;˘ Broadway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make sure you pre-book a theatre
ticket before you go. You can buy cheaper ones there but do you really want to spend your holiday in a queue. We went to the Book of Mormon. Hilarious and very rude! â&#x20AC;˘ shop - the department stores are amazing. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how good the service is. It was very easy to buy my 10 pairs of shoes and bags of cosmetics. For an even more intense shopping experience, head off to Woodbury Common for outlet shopping. Make sure you get the coupon book for $10 from the information centre. You can save a small fortune. We also hired a personal shopper for the day who took us to designers and importers in the garment district. â&#x20AC;˘ eat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; head down to Chelsea Market for lunch then walk it off on the one mile High Line walk. We went to some amazing bars and restaurants. Let me know if you would like my restaurant tips. â&#x20AC;˘ remember â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we paid our respects at the World Trade Centre Memorial. It is worth pre-booking your entry; it will save you a huge queue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20,000 people a day enter and it is very tightly controlled. â&#x20AC;˘ Sunday service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what a hoot we had at our Gospel Church service in Harlem. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there on a Sunday they also have Wednesday services. â&#x20AC;˘ museums â&#x20AC;&#x201C; way too many to mention but a great way to spend a day or a week.

Whil C While Caroll was shopping h i up a storm t with ith the th girls il in the Big Apple, I was enjoying the beautiful Hawaii with my family. We started our holiday on the beautiful island of Maui, just a half hour flight from Honolulu. Maui is
how you picture paradise, beautiful resorts on palm tree lined beaches. The water is warm and clear and you only have to step a few metres out in the water and you are swimming with the fish and turtles. â&#x20AC;˘ relax â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grab a paddle board or just relax on the beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stunning! â&#x20AC;˘ explore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drive to the top of Haleakala Crater, 10,000 feet above sea level. The top of this dormant volcano is worth the drive. â&#x20AC;˘ eat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wander Main Street in the traditional whaling village of Lahaina, the home of some great quirky restaurants like Bubba Gumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shrimp Co (think Forrest Gump) or Cheeseburger in Paradise, where if you can eat their special burger in 20 minutes you get it free! Lots of fun for the kids. After a 30-minute flight we found ourselves back in Honolulu, where all the action is. The place to stay is Waikiki Beach, and there are so many hotels to cater for every budget itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why it is so popular. Despite how busy it is, Waikiki Beach has its own laid back Hawaiian vibe, you have to experience it to know it. Even the turtles are cool and pop their heads up every now and again to the passing surfer or outrigger canoe. â&#x20AC;˘ see the skyline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; head to the Diamond Head Crater where the hike to the top will be worth the amazing view of the Waikiki city skyline. â&#x20AC;˘ shop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; outlets to designer brands, Hawaii has it all. The Ala Moana Centre will take you the best part of a day to get around and the Waikele Premium Outlets are also worth a visit, and if you join their online VIP list you get a book of vouchers which stretches your dollar even further. â&#x20AC;˘ Circle Island Tour - hire a Mustang convertible for the day and cruise to the famous North Shore surf beaches like Waimea, Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Visit the beaches and famous mountain ranges made famous by so many stars and movies like Elvis Presley and Jurassic Park. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not up for the drive, there are a lot of tour companies. â&#x20AC;˘ remember â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a visit to Pearl Harbour is a moving experience as you pay your respects to the brave Americans who lost their lives on December 7, 1941. You need to book ahead as numbers are limited but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience my children will never forget. For more, phone Nicole on 52561888 or email nicole.oceangrove@harveyworld.com.au.

Revised Birregurra plan approved BY JAMES TAYLOR AN INVESTIGATION into the structure plan for Birregurra has found there is enough land in the town to meet short and medium-term needs for growth. Last week, Colac Otway Shire adopted the revised structure plan, which was initially finished in 2010 but reviewed last year after concern from residents. Issues raised in the initial plan included identification of a potential development area to the north west of the township, impact on neighbourhood character from increased development, and limited community consultation. Shire mayor Lyn Russell said a community reference group and neighbourhood character study were set up in response. “The community reference group has been successful and provided an important link between the council and the community in reviewing draft proposals and suggesting ideas for consultation.” While a significant amount of the 2010 report has been retained, the housing supply and demand analysis was revised to include the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data, council land sale and building approval data. Cr Russell said the land supply assessment found Birregurra had the potential to provide between 401-678 new dwellings from existing vacant lots and subdivisions. “Based on the intended minimum lot sizes from the neighbourhood character study, there are presently 107 vacant lots that are immediately available for development, although many of these lots may never come on to the market.” Other aspects of the plan recommend the introduction of varied zoning within Birregurra. This would include rezoning Main Street as business zone one to clearly define the town centre and provide additional control over the residential

uses, to ensure longer term options for retail and commercial uses fronting Main Street are retained. Submissions to the consultations included landholders supportive of encouraging infill
development before extending the town boundaries, using land south of Dunlop Road for future residential growth, and concern that preferred lot sizes of land development were too small and
compromised the existing character. Colac Otway Shire will now seek permission from Planning Minister Matthew Guy to publically exhibit the changes later this year.

Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alive these school holidays
BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Geelong Regional Library Corporation (GRLC) is rolling out a full deck of activities for the school holidays. Sessions for children under and over 12 began yesterday at libraries across Geelong and the Surf Coast. For those under 12, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities include creating a food themed mobile inspired by this classic childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar at Ocean Grove Library today and at Barwon Heads library on Friday, a Movie Mania session (movies are rated G and PG and suitable for children aged eight and older) at Waurn Ponds library tomorrow, and stories about cookies, treats and everything sweet at Ocean Grove library on Friday.

The free workshops are run by experienced journalists and include lunch and all writing materials. Older children can also explore foodie apps on an iPad just for fun at Digilcious sessions to be held today at Newcomb Library and on Friday at Torquay Library.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S hard to think of fun things to do when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold outside during school holidays, but this time around kids can get busy putting together artwork for the 2013 Surf Coast Arts Trail Youth Art Show. The competition is being held by Zeally and Cliff, and owner Kathryn Junor is inviting young artists aged 15-25 to submit visual art pieces of any medium and any subject providing it measures 50x50 centimetres and can be hung. There will be a prize of $250 for first prize plus other prizes for age categories and a $100 peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice award. Entry forms must be submitted by August 1 and the exhibition will open on August 9 through to 11, and works of art are encouraged to be for sale. Zeally and Cliff are also hosting several creative workshops for students of all ages throughout the school holidays. There is sure to be something for everyone as kids will learn about drawing, writing and storytelling, and create plenty of fun pieces including bird houses and sponge cakes. For more information and entry forms visit Zeally and Cliff at 5 Zeally Bay Road, Torquay (corner of Zeally Bay Road and Cliff Street) or head to zeallyandcliff.com.au.

The Mini Movers class for 4-7 year olds includes face painting, creative movement and a performance for parents.

Shire goes on a funding fest BY JAMES TAYLOR SEVERAL of the region’s tourist drawcards are sharing in $75,000 of funding through the Colac Otway Shire’s 2013-14 Festivals and Events Support Scheme. The scheme acknowledges the contribution events make to the region’s social, cultural and
economic diversity and supports the tireless efforts of the volunteers who run them. Recipients of platinum funding this year included community favourites such as the Colac Kana Festival, which received $7,500; and the Birregurra Weekend Festival and Art Show, which received $4,000. Other annual events to get funds towards their
2014 appearances include the Apollo Bay Music Festival ($5,000), the Great Ocean Road Marathon ($4,000), and Kona Odyssey ($3,000). Seed funding – a stream for new, small or one-off events – was given to 11 applicants, including the Birregurra Golf Club (celebrating its 100th year), the Beeac Primary School (celebrating its 150th), and the Cressy Railway Centenary. Shire mayor Lyn Russell said the council was pleased to support the milestone community celebrations. “It’s hugely exciting when community groups achieve 100 years of existence or more – and the
council is thrilled to provide grants to help these groups celebrate.” She said funding for this year’s scheme had been spread to every corner of the shire, including Cressy, Carlisle River, Beeac, Birregurra, Forrest, Wye River, Cororooke, Apollo Bay and Gellibrand. “Events add diversity and colour to community life and also attract visitors to our shire. “The Festival and Events Support Scheme aims to create an environment where events can flourish.” An official presentation to recipients will take place at a civic reception at the Colac Otways Performing Arts and Cultural Centre on July 19.

CLOSE TO THE COAST. CLOSE TO PERFECT.
THE state government hopes to raise design and architectural standards across the state by allowing the Victorian Design Review Panel to offer free advice to local councils. The panel, which started reviewing projects in April last year, provides independent advice to government and statutory decision makers about the design of significant development proposals. Planning Minister Matthew Guy, who announced the extension of the panel’s service last week, said councils could now receive expert design review of large projects. “The future shape of our metropolitan neighbourhoods and regional cities and towns is critical as we adapt to growth and change and build liveable and sustainable communities. “The design review panel is made up of highly experienced professionals including architects, landscape architects, planners, urban designers, and technical specialists. “Councils are encouraged to present their project ideas to the design panel at an early stage so they can get the most value and achieve the best design outcome.”
The Victorian Design Review Panel can review a range of different projects including significant current or future capital projects, master plans or private development applications. Mr Guy said the panel had demonstrated its effectiveness over the past 12 months by reviewing state projects of all scales and types totalling $1.5 billion in value. Those projects included major transport interchanges and transport infrastructure projects including level crossing removals, major housing projects, hospitals, parks, aquatic centres, cultural and sports buildings, commercial headquarters and town centre master plans. “The panel’s advice is confidential and does not form part of existing statutory processes, but has been extremely well received by clients, decision makers, developers and designers, with the majority of schemes significantly improving as a result,” Mr Guy said. The Victorian Design Review Panel is a three year pilot project run by the Office of the Victorian Government Architect within the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure.

BY ALI DEANE BARWON Heads is bringing back the blues with a special one off show featuring the best in the country next Friday night. Geoff Achison – the highly regarded international blues instrumentalist – returns with his band the Souldiggers, who will take over the stage at Barwon Heads Hotel, with the help from local legend Chris Wilson and Fiona Boyes. Each possessors of impressive solo shows, their friendship and history on stage guarantees the night will be filled with great vibes, not to mention plenty of cool grooves. Boyes, who has just set down from a tour through Europe and is referred to as the most significant Australian female blues performer, is planning a smorgasbord for local music fans. “I have always been into the different styles of blues, from ragtime, country blues, through slide and Mississippi Hills. There are so many styles of blues. “I’ll start with solo acoustic, that pared back stuff. “Then there’ll be Geoff and the Souldiggers.” The Souldiggers includes Gerry Pantazis, an accomplished drummer and producer, as well as Roger Mclauclan (bass) and Mal Logan (keys) both ex-Little River Band members.
Their show is known to be rich in blues history, irresistibly danceable with heartfelt soul and contemporary funky grooves. “Chris is renowned as a solo vocalist, but his guitar work is great, and Geoff and Chris regularly play as a duo. Then I’ll bring out my electric, and it will be an all-in jam. “Jamming is at the heart of blues ethos, it’s always a bit different, you each respond to how the other is playing, you learn heaps, have a lot of fun and it’s very spontaneous. “We’ve played a lot together. But it’s been a good long while since I’ve been back; the last time I played with Geoff was in Portland Oregon.

G R A P E V I N E JON HELMER
Keep smiling, Dr Lindeman SOME months ago I featured the classic white wines of Tyrrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from the Hunter Valley, reminiscing my first classic Hunter Semillon experience with Lindemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1986 and 1987 Hunter Valley Classic Releases alongside the Classic Release Shiraz. Again, I remember another stray bottle of Lindemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunter Valley Shiraz in the early 2000s (sorry, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite recall the exact vintage) that was leaking rather badly and in need of drinking. I also remember being amazed at the quality of it, the seamless fine-grained tannin structure, the heavy sediment, the savoury richness and the layered complexities, and the fact that the significant ullage hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adversely affected the wine - quite the contrary, actually. Lindemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wines are 200 years in the making, or so the story begins, with Henry Lindeman born in the UK in 1811. He went on to become a doctor in 1834, and while taking in the sights of Europe, he discovered his interest in wine and winemaking. Upon marrying in 1840, he emigrated to Australia and began planting his first vines in 1843 at Cawarra in NSW, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 10 years later that a more established winery and cellar was completed and built with stone. 1850 was a big year as it saw the new colonial winemaker shipping his first export order of Cawarra Claret back to the UK, where it gradually gained a following and eventual recognition via international exhibitions held throughout the 1860s in London and Paris. As the business evolved, it out grew the original stone winery space, thus Henry decided in 1870 to move to more spacious surrounds in Pitt Street Sydney, setting up head office, new bottling equipment and increasing production to meet the demand of his thirsty domestic and international markets. At the end of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, his three sons joined the business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Charles as manager, Arthur as winemaker, and Herbert taking on the job everyone wants to get paid for; official â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wine Tasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Now 70 years old and having handed over the

BROUGHT TO YOU BY
reins of the business to the next generation, Henry snr departed this world in 1881. With Charles in charge, things began to really take off and he expanded the business with seven cellars established by 1888. As steady growth ensued over the coming decades, the family was able to increase its holdings prior to World War I by purchasing the Ben Ean winery in the Hunter Valley; a major investment among other purchases. Unfortunately, when the Great Depression hit, hard times led to staff dismissals and the appointment of receivers by the bank. However, the business survived on until in 1953 it became a public listed company, growing anew to become one of the big wine companies with it now ensconced in the Treasury Wine Estates portfolio. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine-tune our focus a little on something much more interesting, the real greatness that used to underline this brand - the Hunter Valley bin range wines that were the true expressions of the region and the quality. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versions, however blunt it may seem, are not quite the mighty wines they once were - for whatever reason - of those produced back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, but are worth drinking all the same. Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope yet with the owners possibly able to restore the wines to their once lofty heights? Fingers crossed.

OCEAN Grove mum Heather Gallagher can now add published author to her title as she gets set to launch her first childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book at Bookgrove on July 10. Her book, Ferret on the Loose tells the tale of Lucy and her pet ferret Flash, who she has been training for the annual Fastest Fearless Ferret Race. As the competition approaches, Flash is nowhere to be found â&#x20AC;&#x201C; did he run away or was he ferret-napped? The book has already been reviewed by some tough critics including her daughter Zoe and her grade three classmates, whose giggling throughout the reading showed their widespread approval. Ms Gallagher said it was an amazing feeling to have her first book published and she even has the
full support of a number of ferret societies around the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fun to launch the book, especially close to home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to share it with a smaller community where I will know some of the people in the audience.â&#x20AC;? The book is an adventurous tale that will suit readers age seven and up and the launch will include a reading, colouring in activities and a puppet show starring Ms Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. Bookgrove will host the book launch at 1/73 The Terrace, Ocean Grove at 3pm on July 10. For bookings, phone Stacey on 5255 5973. She will also appear at The Bookshop, 30 Hesse Street, Queenscliff on the same day at 11am. For bookings, phone Mary-Lou on 5258 4496.
Lindemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunter Valley Shiraz Bin 2011 ($37) Sourced from the original Ben Ean vineyards from low-yielding vines that produce a distinctive mediumweighted red with regional dark cherry/briar and chocolate traits to the fore alongside some nice subtle oak, soft tannins and some slightly savoury/ leather/spice notes. The reserve and limited release versions are the real diamonds to be had but this is certainly a very fine Hunter red, and they tell me the latest 2013 vintage wines are really worth getting excited about, so again, fingers crossed.

The greatest rock‘n’roll relived BY ALI DEANE IF YOU dig rock‘n’roll, and have a penchant for Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison, then The Men In Black Tour is not to be missed when it hits Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) next Friday. Starring internationally renowned Australian performers Dean Bourne and Bosco Bosanac, the pair take audiences on a celebration of the iconic hits of the superstars in a hit-filled live show. Bosanac is sensational both physically and vocally with his rugged Johnny Cash looks and gravel voice. He is a highly regarded icon of the Australian music industry with a successful career that spans from being one of the founding members of the 60s and 70s Australian surf rock instrumental band The Atlantics. Let Bosco take you back in time as Johnny Cash when he performs the legendary hits “Ring of Fire”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, “Walk The Line”, “Big River”, “Ghost Riders In The Sky”, “Orange Blossom Special”, “Get Rhythm”, “A Boy Named Sue”, “Man In Black” and many more. According to Johnny Cash, he and Roy Orbison enjoyed a close friendship. “We became like brothers right from the start... and we stayed that way until the end,” Cash once said. As Roy Orbison, Dean Bourne embodies all that
is the legendary performer both physically and vocally. He receives rave reviews and standing ovations across the country each time he performs, mesmerising audiences with his unique ability to recreate the magic and great hits of Orbison such as “Pretty Woman”, “Crying”, “Dream Baby”, “Leah”, “Blue Bayou”, “Penny Arcade”, “Danny Boy”, “Only The Lonely”, “In Dreams”, “Candy Man”, “You Got It”, “Workin’ For The Man” and “Running Scared”. This rock‘n’roll event, presented by Ben Maiorana Entertainment, is a must see for anyone who wants to relive the sound and voices of two of music’s greatest icons in an unforgettable two hour concert. The Men In Black Tour is hitting locations around the country, including Lighthouse Theatre Warrnambool on July 12, at GPAC’s Playhouse Theatre on July 13, and Crown Casino in September. Tickets are on sale now at gpac.org.au or by phoning the box office on 5225 1200. Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times readers can go in the running for two double passes to the show. Tell us why going to The Men in Black Tour show would mean so much to you at giveaways@ surfcoasttimes.com.au by 5pm on July 11, and we will notify the lucky winners who will go on the door list.
The Men in Black Tour show also stars Bosco Bosanac as Johnny Cash. Coming to GPAC’s Playhouse Theatre next Friday July 12.

It will be the first time Australian punk rockers The Living End play the QMF, with a set on the Friday night sure to rock the crowd. After a 10 year hiatus from the festival, John Butler Trio will return for a Saturday night set. Also on the bill for Saturday, acoustic roots rock duo Busby Marou out of Rockhampton will have you singing along, with their unique Australian way of song writing, blending harmonies with acoustic flavour.

A+E news in brief
BY ALI DEANE
Kids winter storytime Great Escape in Aireys
A NEW exhibition by a trio of talented local artists is on show at Boom Gallery Geelong, featuring the latest works of Jiri Tibor Novak, Zoe Snyder and Jean Bohuslav. Through their distinctive styles, each artist explores the notion of journeying.
Jiri Tibor Novak, known for his surrealist work driven by personal experiences, brings us an array of thought inspiring, softly hued paintings of place and memory. His delicate etchings and beautiful watercolours depict a man and his world full of symbols and poetry. Exhibitor Zoe Snyder shares representations of personal journeys, collected memories and
memorabilia through her sculptures. Surf Coast artist Jean Bohuslav’s encaustic paintings are masterfully executed through the layering of oil paint and melted wax. Her works search for love, truth, animals and landscape and have been described as whimsical tales of self discovery. Recent Works opened at the weekend, and will be on show at Boom Gallery, 11 Rutland Street, Newtown until July 20. The gallery is open Wednesdays to Saturdays between 9.30am-4pm, where you can also enjoy coffee and cake.
WINTER is the perfect time to curl up with a good book, and thanks to Great Escape Books in Aireys Inlet, now kids will be doing just that. On Wednesdays during the school holidays Nicole Maher is hosting two free children’s storytime events, in the Children’s Section at Great Escape Books. Why not take your little ones down for a delightful storytelling session featuring newly released stories Ted and The Fearsome Frightening Ferocious Box amongst other tales. Head to Great Escape Books, Aireys Inlet on Wednesday and July 10 from 11am to 11.45am. Head to greatescapebooks.wordpress.com for more information or phone 5289 7052.
Charming love story hits the stage

They are two strangers whose one night stand turns into a riotous lost weekend. Written by one of Scotland’s leading playwrights David Greig alongside top Edinburgh singer/songwriter Gordon McIntyre. Midsummer – a play with songs comes to Geelong from July 10–13 with tickets from $20-$55. For bookings phone the GPAC box office on 5225 1200 or head to gpac.org.au.

farm food AT HOME with Tony Le Deux
A walk on the Wildings side THERE are so many good food producers, restaurants and food stores in the area around Daylesford. We visit the region at least once a year. Last time I was there, I called in on Istra smallgoods. What a wonderful team, dedicated to producing the finest artisan smallgoods. This region’s loss was our gain a few years ago when Anna Wildling moved from Trentham to St Leonards. Wildings Pantry Essentials started business when Anna decided to close her restaurant in Trentham so she could spend more time with her small children. Not one to stand still, Anna was keen to produce a food product range. She chose seven products at first and sold direct to Farmers markets. Wildings Pantry Essentials is now stocked widely in every state in Australia and recently filled their first international order to Milk & Honey in Dubai. The basis for the product range is simple – Anna and her team make what they love to eat. The original seven products have grown to more than 40. Inspiration sometimes comes from not being able to find something in the market. The fig and balsamic paste for example, was developed because it melts in your mouth with soft cheese. The Wildings paste is thick enough to stay on your cracker, but soft enough to be enjoyed with the cheese. Customers want healthy, delicious meals – quickly. The Wildings Pantry Essentials spice range and infused grains, including quinoa and couscous, are examples of this philosophy. The Wildings range is available at Torquay Farm Foods and compliments our premium meats perfectly.
Tuscan beef with gnocchi INGREDIENTS 800g Braising Steak 3 Tbsp Wildings Taste of Tuscany Spice Blend 500ml Red Wine 2 Tbsp Tomato Puree 3 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup diced tomato Plain flour 500gm Fresh Gnocchi METHOD Toss meat through flour and shake off any excess. Heat oil in a deep pan and place both the steak and the Taste of Tuscany Spice Blend into the pan. Cook until browned. Remove the steak and place into a casserole dish. Deglaze the pan with red wine and add to the casserole dish. Add water until the meat is covered and then add the diced tomato and tomato puree. Cover and simmer gently for 2 hours or until tender. Serves Four. Serving suggestion: serve over gnocchi with freshly chopped continental parsley.

Gallery collects its masterpieces BY JAMES TAYLOR GEELONG Gallery is celebrating some of the highlights of its extensive art collection with a new handbook. Last week, the gallery announced the release of Geelong Gallery – Collections, which documents a representative selection of works of art acquired by the institution since its foundation in 1896. This compact handbook focuses on key works from a collection of over 6,000 works, while also acknowledging the legacy of major benefactors over the course of the institution’s history. The book features the work of almost 200 creators including Rick Amor, George Baldessin, Clarice Beckett, George Bell, Belleek, Charles Blackman, Peter Booth, Arthur Boyd, John Brack, William Bradford, Pat Brassington, Rupert Bunny, Louis Buvelot, Claire Colinet, Derby, Gustave Doré, Russell Drysdale, Johannes Duntz, Max Dupain, Stanhope Forbes, Tony Hanning, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Bill Henson, Hans Heysen, Benjamin Leader, Edwin Long, Frederick McCubbin, Polixeni Papapetrou, Salvator Rosa, Royal Doulton and Co, Jeffrey Smart, Grace Cossington Smith, Arthur Streeton, Danila Vassilieff, Eugene von Guérard, Daniel von Sturmer, Brett Whiteley, Fred Williams, Worcester and Anne Zahalka. Geelong Gallery is one of Australia’s leading and oldest regional art galleries. Its collection spans the art of Australia from colonisation to the present day. Home to a number of iconic works such as Eugene von Guérard’s View of Geelong (1856), Frederick McCubbin’s A bush burial (1890) and Arthur Streeton’s Ocean blue, Lorne (1921), the Geelong
Gallery also presents the Geelong Acquisitive Print Awards and the Geelong Contemporary Art Prize. The cover of the handbook reinterprets the grid component of the gallery’s logo. Each symbol represents the different collecting areas from works on paper, paintings and new media to decorative arts and sculpture. The gatefold cover with die-cut shapes enables the reader to peek through and see glimpses of one of the Gallery’s masterpieces, View of Geelong. Along with its design, the overlay of the contemporary die-cut shapes upon the 1856 painting acknowledges the broad date range of works in the collection – from the 17th century to the gallery’s ongoing commitment to acquire significant contemporary art. Geelong Gallery - Collections is available for sale through the Geelong Gallery Shop for $50. For a copy, visit the gallery, phone 5229 3645 or email geelart@geelonggallery.com.au.

Get your Clubfeet moving BY TIFFANY PILCHER INDIE synth-pop quintet Clubfeet have been winning over fans since 2010 with their dreamy tunes of love and loss and this weekend they’ll fill the dance floor for the first time in Geelong at the Eureka Hotel. After gaining high praise for their first album Gold on Gold, Clubfeet have stepped it up a notch for their sophomore follow-up Heirs & Graces. They’ll play all the hits off the album including summer anthem “Heartbreak”, featuring up and coming artist Chela on vocals as well as the sublimely hopeful “Everything You Wanted”. Recorded over two years between Melbourne, Sydney and Cape Town, Heirs & Graces was mixed by New York’s Victor van Vugt who has previously worked with Nick Cave and PJ Harvey. The album takes their brand of melancholic indiepop to a new level, leading the listener through
summer disco jams to Peter Gabriel soundscapes and deep Euro-electronica. Band members Sebastian Cohen and Yves Roberts relocated from Cape Town to Melbourne and met up with Monty Cooper to produce their instantly recognisable synth-pop gems. Bennington Le Bruce and Vivian Croft were added for Heirs & Graces to complete the Clubfeet lineup and solidify their perky pop sound. Clubfeet are playing at the Eureka Hotel, 98 Little Malop Street, Geelong, on Saturday at 9pm. Tickets are $18.40 including booking fee and available from moshtix.com.au. Indie darlings Sebastian Cohen, Bennington Le Bruce, Yves Roberts, Vivian Croft, and Montgomery Cooper of Clubfeet will have revellers in their dancing shoes when they play at the Eureka Hotel on Saturday night.
Annual event puts artists on the map BY TIFFANY PILCHER
Moriac pastel, charcoal and acrylic artist Sally Ford has been announced as one of the artists featured in the 2013 Surf Coast Arts Trail. The event’s official map, schedule and list of artists is available now from the Surf Coast Shire offices and on their website.
ART enthusiasts can start organising their plan of attack for the 2013 Surf Coast Arts Trail with the recent release of the official map and artists involved. The event will be held over the weekend of August 10 and 11 and showcase 29 of the region’s most talented visual artists covering a variety of mediums. Exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations
will be held across Connewarre, Torquay, Jan Juc, Bellbrae Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Lorne. Hinterland towns will also be involved with Deans Marsh, Winchelsea and Moriac hosting events. The Arts Trail is being held once again after the success of the inaugural event last year and mayor Libby Coker said it will shine a spotlight on the huge pool of talent found in the region. “We are fortunate to have so many local artists producing amazing work all over the Surf Coast.
“The Surf Coast Arts Trail is one of the best ways to experience this work and a great opportunity for local artists to showcase and share their accomplishments. Surf Coast Shire arts and development officer Julie Dyer said the event will provide a fabulous chance for people to see the artists working and demonstrating in their own studios. Entry to the events is free and maps, the schedule and list of artists are available at surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Money raised for mighty maggots BY JAMES TAYLOR RESEARCHERS at Deakin University have successfully completed their campaign to raise money for maggots. Dr Mel Thomson and Dr Michelle Harvey are looking into ways to treat Bairnsdale ulcer, which has seen a 50 per cent increase in cases on the Bellarine Peninsula over the past two years. The pair has proposed a small clinical trial of the medically approved method of maggot debridement
therapy, in which the maggots remove the dead infected skin as an extra treatment to traditional antibiotics for patients with the skin ulcers. They set up a page on crowdsourcing website Pozible, titled “Mighty Maggots vs Flesh Nom Bugs”, in which they hoped to raise about $9,500 for the weekly delivery of medical maggots from Westmead Hospital in Sydney. Three days ahead of the June 22 deadline, Corio Federal MP Richard Marles even raised the slippery subject on the floor of Parliament House
in Canberra. “This disease is a big disease worldwide but has a very local footprint on the Bellarine Peninsula,” he said. “While there is something squeamish and gory about treating this disease with maggots, the point that Mel makes is that it would be the most costeffective way of treating this disease. “While not being so significant here in Australia, this would be enormously significant in a country like Ghana, where the disease is endemic.”
The eyes have it in JulEYE BY JAMES TAYLOR LESS than half of Australians say they only have their eyes tested if they are having trouble seeing or their eyes hurt, in a study released to promote the start of the JulEYE campaign. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists Eye Foundation (RANZCO), a national not-for-profit organisation, dedicates this month to its annual community awareness campaign. JulEYE is aimed at educating Australians about eye disease and encourages all Australians to discuss their family’s eye health history and to seek an eye test this July. The campaign is being supported by INXS multi-instrumentalist Kirk Pengilly, who has worn glasses his entire life. “I don’t wear them because they make me look cool – I have to wear them to see
clearly as I am long-sighted,” he said. “In 1985, I came to within an inch of losing my sight because of glaucoma. “Due to how severe the glaucoma was, I was fast tracked to a pioneering Australian ophthalmologist who quickly treated my deteriorating sight, and prevented further damaged to my vision.” Despite 75 per cent of vision loss being preventable or treatable, Australians still do not recognize the need for regular eye testing. The RANZCO Eye Foundation would like to see eye tests become part of a family’s calendar of a regular medical checkups – just as they would go to the dentist or doctor. RANZCO fellow Professor Frank Martin said Australians needed to be more aware of their family’s eye history, to ensure they preserved their eyesight. “If you have a family history of eye disease, a medical condition that can have eye related issues such as diabetes or are
over the age of 40, eye testing every two years is essential as it is the most effective way to identify problems early. “The latest survey revealed that two in five Australians (39 per cent) admit to having a family history of eye disease which only highlights the need for regular testing. “While 64 per cent of Australians said they would have their eyes tested if they discovered someone in their family was diagnosed with an eye disease. “So this July, discuss your family’s eye health today and if there’s a history of eye disease have your eyes checked. “If there are noticeable changes to your vision, ask for a referral to an ophthalmologist.” For more information, head to eyefoundation.org.au. Kirk Pengilly, who nearly lost his sight in his 20s, is supporting the JulEYE campaign.
Thankfully, the campaign reached its target, with 129 supporters pledging $9,970 by the deadline. Dr Thomson, who lives in Ocean Grove, said it was hoped the use of maggots would cut down the six-month period required for ongoing oral antibiotic treatment. “This would help the patients regain the normal bacteria in their gut that are altered by such treatments and limit the chances of their normal bacteria becoming resistant to those antibiotics.”

Winter health and fitness WITH ROSE CONSTANCE AT STEP INTO LIFE
JUST because the temperature drops, doesn’t mean your resolve to stay in great shape needs to as well. Set your winter targets now. I don’t want you to hibernate for three or more months, only to emerge with a substantial muffin-top over your jeans come spring time. Over the next 10 weeks, once a fortnight, I will be giving you: – Motivational tips to keep that muffin top from appearing over winter. – A healthy recipe by dietician Matt O’Neill, who has partnered with Step into Life. – An exercise of the week and the benefits of this exercise.
Let’s Start WEEK 1 Why train outdoors in winter • You have to keep moving to stay warm and hence your body expends a lot more energy during your training session and your metabolism stays higher for longer post session – Will help big time with the Muffin Top! • Helps with depression by releasing feel good endorphins
Warming winter food • Switch from salads to soup - see our recipe of the week
Winter fitness • Leave out your workout gear to remind you that you need to exercise. • Dress in layers, wearing gloves and a beanie ready to remove in layers as you get warm • Buddy up so the two of you motivate each other to get to sessions.
EXERCISE OF THE WEEK – THE SQUAT Why this exercise is beneficial • The reason squats are so effective is because it’s a compound exercise that works more than one muscle
group. The more muscles involved in a movement, the more calories you burn and the more weight you can lose to avoid muffin top! • It is a very functional exercise used in everyday activities Video link meetyourpersonaltrainer.com.au/my_ videos/Shapely_Legs__Buns_of_Steel_2. For more information on how to keep that muffin top off contact Rose on 0422 113 623 or go to our website Stepintolife.com.

Show your colours in the fight against cancer BY JAMES TAYLOR FOOTBALL, regardless of the code, is about spirit, strength, courage and the fight to win. Those touched by cancer share a similar journey and need the same strength and courage to win their individual fight. Each year on September 1, thousands of Australians unite, wear their favourite footy colours and make a donation to give young Aussies living with cancer a brighter future through the Fight Cancer Back on Track program. Footy Colours Day, which was launched around Australia yesterday, is an opportunity to help minimise the impact and disruption cancer has on a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life by helping them to stay connected with their schools and friends and continue to reach their full potential. Sydney Swans co-captain Kieren Jack is an ambassador for Footy Colours Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all need to look after our mates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially those doing it tough,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Footy Colours Day is a fun way to enjoy yourself and help young people living with cancer at the same time.â&#x20AC;? All Australians are encouraged to get into the spirit of Footy Colours Day this year and have fun by wearing their favourite teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colours, organising a footy breakfast or morning tea, decorate the office or classroom, have a casual day, fashion parade, footy trivia competition, treasure hunt, art competition or any other fun way to enjoy Footy Colours Day and support young Aussies living with cancer when they need it most. For more information, head to footycoloursday.com.au or facebook. com/FightCancerFoundation, or follow FightCancerFdn on Twitter.

Footpath promise is folly
Get planning for change room funds
Gillard has kept her dignity
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
Nice try Cr Coker (Mayor’s Column, Surf Coast Times, June 25), but you are obviously being fed misinformation by one of your minions at the Taj Mahal regarding the Jan Juc footpaths. With soil taken off site from the Jan Juc Creek Reserve to be sifted, assessed, and a report written, presented and acted upon – a process which will take months – there is no way this project will be finished by the end of July. Correct me if I’m wrong, but work has ceased and cannot be restarted until this has been satisfactorily been completed. Of course people are using the footpaths, but there is no great increase in people walking in Jan Juc per se, and the mothers with prams that I know (some with twins) didn’t think footpaths were needed. With gaps and tripping hazards everywhere you look, the paths are, in fact, a danger to unsuspecting walkers. You can spin it any way you like, councillor, but it’s been a debacle from day one and will continue to be for months to come. PS I think you’ve got “contribute” mixed up with “coercion”.
It seems curious for all the discussion around the Shell Reserve and finger pointing that has been going on by Bellarine MP Lisa Neville and ward councillor Jan Farrell, that state funding has not been available to relocate sporting clubs to the reserve, or in fact provide suitable changing rooms to the sporting complex. The fact is there has been no application for funds by the City of Greater Geelong to the state government for a specific purpose for Shell Reserve. Despite a few veiled promises of money at the last state election by Labor, the reality was the money was never going to be delivered, and in fact there was never a stakeholder consensus of how that money was to be spent. There has been some federal government funding for a car park but it is human facilities that are needed. So here we are now with little soccer clubs having to change in the carpark, the Ocean Grove Football Club with substandard change rooms not knowing when and if they are to be relocated, the City of Greater Geelong dithering over a master plan, and Cr Farrell blaming all and sundry for inaction but not wanting to dip into her own ward slush fund to kickstart the process. My plea to the council is to finalise the master plan, get stakeholder consensus and community support through the consultation process, and be in a position of strength and unity well before the election circus hits town. The Bellarine community were given a lot of promises by Labor over 11 years and now it’s time to be ready and prepared as we move into the election cycles.
Speechless with the antics of Labor’s “Judas Goat”, Graeme Richardson, on the ABC’s Q&A on Monday night, I feel it is time that some of us ordinary Australians spoke up for fair play. Julia Gillard had to form a minority government – something that rarely works in politics. Her problems were compounded, by having to negotiate with four independents (hardly Labor supporters) and the less than pragmatic Greens. What hope did she have? Any policies that she wished to adopt had to be watered down and negotiated and, when some of them didn’t work, critics fell all over her. To add to this, she was faced with the likes of Tony Abbott (“I’m not a misogynist”) and his conservative brethren (The Liberal Party has ceased to be liberal), who barraged her with negativity. Jumping on the bandwagon were the Australian press, who subjected her to the most long-ranging, concerted, virulent attacks ever seen in Australian politics. Throughout this Julia Gillard somehow held her head up, kept her dignity and survived. It was a herculean effort which all fair minded Australians should applaud. However, we have all joined in, as people dominated by the press do, to savage this woman gleefully. It makes you ashamed to be Australian. We are supposed to be advocates of the fair go. What we should do, to make amends, is vote her back in with a workable majority so that she can lead Australia like she would wish to. Will this happen? I don’t think so.

Get off the comfy couch, Capricorn! With dynamic Mars charging through your wellbeing zone for two more weeks, hurry up and incorporate more exercise into your daily routine. How about joining a local gym or sporting club? At work, take the stairs rather than the lift... or walk to the local shops, rather than drive. On weekend, take the time to listen closely to others.
Reckless behaviour could land you in hot water this week so tread carefully, Rams. You’re keen to get things moving but don’t be in such a rush that you start an argument or cause an accident. You have the power to affect others deeply this weekend – positively or negatively – depending on how you use it. Aim to be dynamic and courageous, rather than bossy and insensitive.
The Sun/Pluto opposition exacerbates an existing partnership problem. Don’t take things too personally... the more defensive you are, the more difficult the week will be. On the weekend the Moon, Mars and Neptune activate your humanitarian zone, so it’s time to help others. Be inspired by birthday great Princess Diana: “Everyone has the potential to give something back.”
Money matters look messy, especially if you are behind with paying bills. You need to work out a weekly budget (and then stick to it). The more disciplined you are, the more manageable your finances will be. Business and work matters are favoured this weekend, as you rub shoulders with influential people. Don’t be a wallflower, Libra... speak up and promote your talents.
Loved ones are demanding and family members will be more defensive than usual, so tread carefully Taurus. With peace-maker Venus visiting your domestic zone, you’ll find the patience within to handle any relationship rumbles. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great the Dalai Lama: “A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation of your life.”
You’re inclined to go to extremes this week and a stubborn attitude will lead to a fraction too much friction. There’s more to an existing situation than meets the eye, so resist the temptation to jump to conclusions. Discretion and moderation are what’s needed at the moment. Socializing with colleagues brings many benefits, so put on your networking hat and schmooze in style.
Scorpios love drama, and there’ll be plenty of it this week as your usual routine is shaken up by an argument or disagreement. You’re keen to persuade others but don’t add fuel to the fire by using manipulation to achieve your aims. Saturday favours joint ventures and having serious conversations with loved ones; whereas Sunday is super for sport, travel and outdoor adventures.
Aquarians can only toe the line for so long. Expect the unexpected this week, as the Sun and Uranus stir up your restless (and reckless) side. You’ll balk at restrictions being placed on you by others but resist the urge to be a disruptive influence. Aim to be smart and selective as you fulfill your basic responsibilities... then go off and do something exciting or eccentric.
Geminis are fabulous at formulating ideas and talking about future plans. But – with dynamic Mars moving through your sign for a couple more weeks, it really is time to be passionately proactive and walk your talk. This week, actions speak way louder than words! The weekend is wonderful for socializing and pursuing your favourite hobby.
The stars favour networking with a wide range of friends and acquaintances. If you have to speak up in a group, choose your words wisely, as there are many conflicting opinions to consider. Other people’s motives will be a mystery on Friday, so don’t even try to work out where they are coming from. Keep positive about the future as you set ambitious goals and dream big dreams.
Is it fabulous to be outrageously frank? And is honesty always the best policy? This week you’re in the mood to rock the boat and be even more open and honest than usual. But is everyone ready for your special brand of Sagittarian truth serum? You have a lot on your plate but if you multi-task, you’ll get things done in half the time. Give loved ones plenty of practical support.
This week’s stars encourage impulse shopping and making hasty financial decisions but, if you over-extend yourself, you’ll pay the real price further down the track. So, before you buy, stop and think “Do I really need this?” Plus, find ways to cheer yourself up that don’t involve shopping. If you are travelling, be prepared for plenty of hiccups and hassles along the way.

Locally owned and operated by Kerry and John Peat and Steven McCarroll, Kerry said the team is highly experienced and truly love their work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a business in Melbourne and wanted to start recycling building materials so we bought this business 10 years ago and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been growing ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great job because we love meeting people, working outside

Multisport competitors dash off the line for the first leg in last year’s Anaconda Adventure Race in Lorne. The 2013 Lorne Adventure Fest will feature three events, and next year will be held in conjunction with the Australasian Multisport Championships. PHOTO: RAPID ASCENT
Lorne lures elites for Australasian Multisport BY ALI DEANE LORNE, the home of the famous Pier to Pub open ocean swim, Lorne Adventure Race and the Great Ocean Road Marathon will be luring top athletes next year to challenge for the Australasian Multisport Championship crowns. Competitors will compete on one of Australia’s toughest adventure courses over the weekend in December that also sees multisport enthusiasts race in numerous events under Rapid Ascent’s Lorne Adventure Fest banner, previously the Anaconda Adventure Race. For the past three years the Australasian Multisport Championships have formed part of the ThermaTech 3D Rotorua Multisport Festival in New Zealand. Race directors John Jacoby and Sam Maffett are excited about the opportunity to host the
Championships on behalf of Multisport Adventure Racing NZ for the first time in Australia. “It is a terrific opportunity for the Championships to come to Lorne, and we are looking forward to showcasing this premier adventure race to the New Zealand multisport athletes.” Maffett said. “Some rate the premier Lorne Adventure Race as one of the hardest races in Australia, whilst many others rate it as one of the more spectacular, especially when the sun is sparkling off the ocean in front of the adventure village event HQ, making the swim and paddle look particularly alluring. “Our course covers a similar distance to the previous Championships at Rotorua, about 50 kilometres, but has the additional swim leg, so it’s sure to challenge some kiwi competitors as their races often don’t include swimming.”
The announcement comes just a few weeks after the 2013 Australasian Multisport Championships in Rotorua which saw Dougal Allan and Simone Maier, both from Wanaka, taking the crowns. Australian’s James Pretto and Deanna Begg were the best placed Australian’s in fourth and fifth in their categories respectively. The premier Lorne Adventure Race attracts 1,200 participants each year and features a 1.9km open ocean swim, 13km paddle, 14km trail run, 18km mountain bike and a 1.2km beach run to finish. The Lorne Adventure Fest is being held on December 7-8, and with three race formats it will truly be an adventure event weekend for everyone. Entries are now open for the Lorne Adventure Race, Mini Adventure Race and Junior Survivor. Head to lorneadventurefest.com.au for more information.

RECREATIONAL fishers are being invited to attend the only round table forum to be held within the Geelong region by Fisheries Victoria this year. This meeting will be held at Torquay Angling Club tomorrow from 7-9pm. This forum is for fishers in our region to share their ideas for improving their local fisheries. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Peter Walsh said it was a priority of the state government’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative to strengthen engagement with fishing communities. “We want fishers across the state to have the opportunity to put forward their ideas, and these forums are also an opportunity for Fisheries Victoria to give updates on fish stocking efforts, research findings, facility upgrades and new fishing opportunities. “Last year’s forums generated some great projects, including several that are now reality such as upgrading the Goughs Bay boat ramp at Lake Eildon and adding a new function to the Fisheries Victoria recreational fishing smartphone app to allow anglers to determine Marine Park boundaries via GPS. “Victoria’s recreational fishing industry makes a significant contribution to the State’s economy; supporting regional businesses ranging from bait and tackle stores to hotels, service stations and local shops. “The Coalition government wants to make sure our 720,000 recreational fishers have a say on where the funding is invested.” The regional forums are being held in conjunction with VRFish Vic. So now is your chance - if you want to have your input and your say in how we as fishers can improve our lot
within our region, then make sure you attend this forum. It would be great to see a huge roll up at this one to show Fisheries Victoria and the state government just how passionate we are as anglers and what we want for our region as far as fishing for the future is concerned. Poachers vs recreational fishers: Recently there has been a number of poachers within Victoria who have been caught by Fisheries Victoria with excessive bag limits. Dozens of flathead at Bemm River were taken in excess of bag limits with the two men involved being heavily fined, forfeiting all fishing gear and being punished accordingly. In Mornington, 149 black-lipped abalone taken from the two-metre intertidal zone with 53 of the 149 being under the minimum legal size of 10cm. The two men involved in this have been charged and also fined, as the legal catch limit for abalone is only five per person per day. Two Melbourne men have also been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment (suspended for two years) as well as $500 fines and a 12-month ban from all fishing for exceeding the daily catch limit for squid off Mornington. The pair took 143 squid (otherwise known as southern calamari) and exceeded the daily catch limit of 10 squid each. Both had prior history of fisheries offending. My comment: Quite often these messages come with reminders targeted at recreational fishers, meant to act as a deterrent, to warn that they must abide by the rules. The point that the government and the department seem to miss is that these people are not recreational fishers but poachers. To me, these messages are better off aimed at those who may consider

Local lifters return with the goods BY ALI DEANE FOUR local weightlifters have triumphantly returned from the National Masters Championships in Tasmania. Elaine Janes, Jenni Robinson, Frank Parsons and Mick Burns from the Geelong Weightlifting Club competed against the best masters lifters in Australia and despite tough judging, came home with the goods. Janes and Parsons both brought back gold, and Burns a silver medal, for their performances at Launceston’s Archers Manor. The Victorian men’s team won the state team
award and Queensland walked away with the ladies team award. According to Elaine Janes of Ocean Grove, Queensland was the home of Australia’s best female masters lifters, but she said it was always good to renew friendships and rivalries. “They have a huge crew of women, but it’s great to meet with comrade weightlifters you only see once or twice a year and hear about future events for masters. “It was one of the best Australian masters competitions ever; sixty five weightlifters, representing every state in Australia were out there doing their best. An outstanding credit to the
Launceston Weightlifting Club.” Janes, who won gold at the 2011 World Masters Championships in Cyprus, is travelling to Italy next month to represent Australia in 2013 World Masters Games. She will be one of some 530 weightlifters who will be competing. Lifters at Geelong Weightlifting Club train under coach Michael Torriero. In competition, athletes are required to perform two lifts, the snatch, and the clean and jerk. Competitions take place for juniors, seniors, open and masters. In less than 100 days, Geelong will host the biennial Australian Masters Games, where over 60 sports will be played, including power lifting.

Competition hot in third of the series BY ALI DEANE
ABOVE: Torquay boxers (L-R) James Curry, Nathan Smerdon and Jayden Moyle went to the third VABL bout focused on the weekend. RIGHT: Torquay Coastal Boxing Gym coach Ashley Lynch celebrates Nathan Smerdon’s unanimous win at Lilydale on the weekend.
THE third in the Victorian Amateur Boxing League (VABL) bouts of the year was complete with a dominating win, devastating hit, and an excitingly close contest for boxers from Torquay who took the challenge to Lilydale on Saturday night. Torquay Coastal Boxing’s James Curry, in his first fight, was boxing well until he copped a devastating liver shot and was unable to continue against Dan Abraham from Traralgon. Nathan Smerdon, despite feeling well under 100 per cent, still managed to outskill Lilydale’s Mitch Kingdon to win unanimously. Jayden Moyle, off the back of two consecutive wins, met his match in Mark Lakkis from St Kilda, a cagey cow-puncher who Moyle outclassed but failed to out-point. According to coach Ashley Lynch from Torquay Coastal Boxing, the night was a courageous effort and priceless experience for the boys. “The next fight is in Bendigo on August 29.” On August 20, the Surf Coast boxers will be going for the Torquay Titles at Torquay Coastal Boxing
followed by a comedy show with Austen Tayshus. Tickets are limited, ($20 members, $30 non members), and proceeds will go to a local bullying charity. The state titles are in Geelong in November.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB ANOTHER week of perfect winter conditions for golf and with the course not too wet under foot, we could almost have summer scores. Expectations at this time of the year are that the summer handicap reductions will disappear – but perhaps not as quickly as we might need to be competitive. Don’t forget the parties for the coming month. We now have two nights with Joe Camilleri – July 19 and 20 – and booking details are on the web. For those that prefer quieter entertainment, the Presidents’ and Captains’ Dinner is the weekend afterwards – July 27 – and bookings can be made through the office for this event. This week at the club we have the Anglesea Bowl on Monday with a full field of ladies team visiting to play for this prestigious event. And if you’re not too tired on Tuesday, the Gunners are meeting for another of their course blitzes – all are welcome to help out.
WITH MARGOT SMITH
Johnson, Henry Green and Jim James. Ladies day for Thursday was an aged par event with the youngsters under 60, the older 60 to 70, and the more mature over 70. Myrell McConachy had the day’s best score of 5 up winning the older category, Helen Stewart was the best mature lady with 1 down and Margaret DeVries was the best youngster with 2 down. On the gold course Liz MacKinnon had a very nice score of 4 up. NTP winners were Myrell McConachy, Valda Connelly, Sue McGibbony, and Vida Brenner.

THE Torquay Golf Club once again hosted this month’s round of the vets/seniors competition and although quite a few of our members are away soaking up the sun in Queensland or enjoying that overseas holiday, it was still a strong field vying for the money. Ken Ballard stood out for the men this month, scoring 22 points for the 9 holes, while for the ladies it was Carole Mayne. The NTP winners were Mary Sweet and Ken Ballard. Congratulations to our ladies’ committee last week on a triumphant community services day held on Tuesday. Of course our lady members helped contribute more than just money, they donated their time to help with the stall, and they also donated prizes for raffles and items to sell. We thank them all on a wonderful effort which helped to raise $1000 each for their nominated three local charities. We also invited many other clubs to come and play, and by all accounts it was worth the visit as they spent up big on all the goodies. Thank you to all of those ladies that donated their time to make the day a huge success. It was not the only event on the day as the Irish 4BBB Stableford was also up for grabs, and the winning score of 113 went to the team of Linda Delandre, Maxine Flakemore, Marion Lyne and Kerin Galbally.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB LAST week we looked at some of the needs of our club and suggested that there might be some areas and time where you could make a contribution and assist in the running of the club or its programs. Thank you to those people who took the time and made the effort to contact the club to suggest how and when they might be able to assist. For all those other people who have yet to make a commitment, please give it some consideration as taking a share of the work load makes it easier for the few and better for all. That’s what being a good club member is all about. Coming events include the Carnival of Golf, the Junior Masters and the Red Cross Charity Day. Thank you. This week I would like you, as a golfer, a social member or a patron of the club, to think of how our club can be improved to better give you the service, the amenities and atmosphere that will make your experience all the more enjoyable. Your club management and all the committees are constantly looking for ways to improve your experience but perhaps you might have a different slant on some aspect of our operations which, if implemented, could help the club better fulfil its role. While you are thinking of this, jot down your idea/s and send them to Tony Meagher, Ron Stockdale or me, addressed c/o The Portarlington Golf Club, Hood Road, 3223.

2012 champs re-group for finals campaign BY ALI DEANE PRIOR to the weekend, Anglesea had dominated the 2013 netball season, the reigning premiers having won 10 matches and drawn just once over the 11 rounds. Portarlington interrupted Angleseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream run on Saturday, however, taking them down 54 to 37, but Angleseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A graders retain top spot on the BFL ladder and will relish the chance to regroup this weekend as they head into a bye. Only six rounds remain of the regular season and Anglesea coach Stacey Benney says her girls had a lot they could improve on. She said although the players all had individual goals they wanted to achieve, as a whole the team was really happy with where they were now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost some players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiership side but we have been fairly consistent with results and sit on top of the ladder which we are pleased with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Port played very well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let us get our ball speed going in attack and we struggled to adapt in defence. They got a jump on us in the second quarter and unfortunately we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t peg back that lead.â&#x20AC;?
