SWING IN

Lorne in the money with funding announced for swing bridge and visitor’s centre BY JAMES TAYLOR COMMUNITY infrastructure in Lorne is on the improve with the announcement of full funding for upgrades of the town’s swing bridge and visitor information centre. The swing bridge, which has been closed since March because of structural issues, will go through a $400,000 restoration that aims to be finished by Christmas. Just to the south west, a $750,000 project will

extend the visitor information centre and create the Great Ocean Road National Heritage Centre. Polwarth MP Terry Mulder announced the state government’s contributions to the projects – $220,000 and $500,000 respectively – in Lorne last week. The Great Ocean Road Coastal Committee (GORCC) will contribute up to $180,000 towards remedial work on the swing bridge’s foundations, deck and handrails. GORCC chief executive officer Richard Davies

said detailed technical designs had been completed, and final negotiations had started on tenders for the decking, handrail and foundation work. Mr Mulder said the bridge was highly popular among locals and visitors alike. “If it could talk, it’d tell a lot of stories.” The Great Ocean Road National Heritage Centre is expected to open late next year. It is also being funded by the Surf Coast Shire with $150,000 and the federal government with $100,000.

The centre will provide a museum quality facility that displays the road’s story and rich history. There will be a primary focus on the returned soldiers and sailors who built the road, but the flexible space will allow other material to be displayed in the future. The shire appointed Torquay-based architect Peter Winkler as project architect, and Melbourne firm Sue Hodges Productions to work on the centre’s interpretive displays. Surf Coast deputy mayor Rod Nockles said the centre was a priority project for not only the shire but also the Barwon south west region. He said the project would include upgrades to the toilets and storage of the visitor information centre, which is one of the busiest in Victoria and fields 175,000 enquiries annually.

Council remains unmoved on C66 zoning BY JAMES TAYLOR THE panel hearing into Amendment C66 wrapped up on Thursday, and the Surf Coast Shire has declared that its position on Spring Creek has not changed. Councillors held a special meeting on Tuesday to consider whether the shire should advise the panel about its secondary position regarding the best zoning for the land one kilometre west of Duffields Road. An officer’s report asked councillors to choose

between three options if the land could not remain as Farming Zone – Residential 1 Zone, Comprehensive Development Zone or Urban Growth Zone – and recommended the latter as the most appropriate choice. At the meeting, Surf Coast Shire planning and development manager Brydon King said the three zones that would best control and reflect an urban outcome were chosen for consideration. However, Cr Rose Hodge successfully moved an alternative motion, which stated the C66 panel

would be advised that the resolution adopted by the council on July 27, 2011 – that it did not support development in Spring Creek Valley one kilometre west of Duffields Road – remained its formal position. She said she had sat through about 20 hours of hearings into C66 and the panel should be allowed to run its course. “It’s important to hold the position that we promised the community in 2011.” The motion also resolved the council’s unanimous

support of the G21 Regional Growth Plan endorsed by the five G21 councils, local communities and accepted by Planning Minister Matthew Guy. Torquay ward councillors Brian McKiterick and David Bell declared conflicts of interest on the Spring Creek issue at the start of the meeting, and did not participate in the vote. The council will now await the planning panel’s report on C66 and consider its position again once the recommendations are provided, before making a recommendation to the Planning Minister.

Another funding goal BY HAMISH BROOKS

THE Surf Coast Football (Soccer) Club scored a goal on Sunday with the announcement of funding for works on a second soccer pitch at Banyul Warri Fields. Federal Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman said Labor will contribute $225,576 to start the construction of the Banyul Warri Fields second soccer pitch, which will be natural turf and sit alongside the present synthetic pitch. “Construction of a natural turf soccer pitch with night time lighting adjacent to the existing synthetic soccer pitch will make our region the centre for soccer events. “Torquay will have two international standard pitches for local children to train on and compete with visiting teams. “The Surf Coast Football Club is the fastest growing sports club along the coast and with

the support of Labor and the Surf Coast council they will gain an additional field for training and competition. “The club is working to attract an Asian powerhouse soccer team to train in Torquay during the Asian Cup in 2015. “Having an international standard natural pitch with lighting alongside the synthetic pitch is what we need to attract an international team to Torquay.” Surf Coast FC president Joe Taylor welcomed the announcement. “We’re really pleased to get the funding. “A second pitch will provide much more playing and training access for our players and allow us to locate a National Premier League side and community level club here with shared access to the facilities. “The lights as envisaged are 300 lux. “No other club in region has that quality of lighting at their grounds.”

Seal relocation highlights community role A SEAL spotted near a construction site in St Kilda recently was relocated to a Barwon Heads beach by the Melbourne Zoo and Barwon Coast due to concerns for its welfare. Melbourne Zoo head of veterinary services Dr Michael Lynch said the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) informed the zoo that the sub Antarctic fur seal had been there for an extended period of time. “Given the seal was resting near a construction site, DEPI were concerned it may be injured and asked that it be removed from the area. “The seal was healthy, with no evidence of illness or injury so we relocated it to a Barwon Heads beach where it would be within its natural range. “We have asked people to keep a look out for the seal to make sure it is managing well in its new location,” he said. Sub Antarctic fur seals breed on sub Antarctic island waters between November and December each year. Barwon Coast community liaison and education manager Maddie Glynn said it was important for the public to notify the appropriate authority if they saw sick, injured or distressed seals on the coast. “It all helps to build a picture of what’s going on and sometimes it can assist in the identification of diseases of importance,” she said. “Not all mothers are good parents and some of the younger seals – skinny yearlings that are not in prime condition – start to emerge along the coast. “We often give assistance and advice to people on the ground to help manage seals that are found resting on beaches. “We build networks with communities and ask

individuals to contact us if they have a concern so we can assess the situation.” People are urged not to go close to seals – as they can bite – to keep dogs on leashes and to dispose of fishing line correctly to prevent injury and disease. “Melbourne Zoo’s Seal the Loop program provides bins designed for the collection of fishing waste,” Dr Lynch said. “Disposing of fishing lines in the bins provided is essential as seals can become entangled in

discarded fishing gear.” Ms Glynn said seals are protected by state legislation and people and their dogs must not come within 50 metres of a seal on land. “An inquisitive dog that may approach a seal may be seen to be harassing the animal and owners face potential prosecution.” Any concerns regarding seals should be reported to the DEPI customer service centre on 136 186.

Candidates face the public in Torquay BY JAMES TAYLOR CANDIDATES in Corangamite were put through their environmental paces at a forum in Torquay last week. The event at Grant Pavilion drew about 100 people and was jointly hosted by the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, the Surf Coast Energy Group, the 3228 Residents Association and the Bellbrae Residents Association. There were eight candidates at the forum – Darren Cheeseman (ALP), Sarah Henderson (Liberals), Lloyd Davies (The Greens), Adrian Whitehead (Save The Planet), Jayden Millard (Sex Party), Warren Jackman (Country Alliance), Alan Barron (Australian Christians) and Buddy Rojek (who was the Palmer United Party candidate at the time). Sid Pope, president of the 3228 Residents Association, acted as chair, and candidates answered questions about emissions from Alcoa’s coal mine and power station in Anglesea, wind power in Victoria, reducing coal exports, and nuclear power. Mr Davies said the electricity generated by the Alcoa station was unnecessary. “If we stopped that coal power plant tomorrow, and it stopped producing electricity, the electrical grid can definitely handle it.” Ms Henderson said the Coalition had committed

to expediting a review of air emissions standards. “If I am elected, I am happy to be very robust on this issue.” Mr Cheeseman said he supported Australia having the toughest possible standards on any form of emissions. “We do need to ensure we continue to review all of the standards we have, because we certainly need to learn from the mistakes of the past.” In relation to the state government’s two kilometre buffer zone on wind farm development, Ms Henderson said she was in favour. “I actually think the policy on wind is a very good one, because wind was dividing so many rural communities.” However, Mr Cheeseman said the buffer had “effectively killed the Victorian wind sector” and needed to be repealed to enable a migration away from brown coal-fired power. “Wind power in our communities can generate billions of dollars in revenue for our communities.” The election forums continued last night, with Our Say hosting an event at the Costa Theatre in Geelong. The Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads Community Associations have also invited the Corangamite candidates to attend a public event at the Ocean Grove Bowling Club on Monday next week from 7.30pm.

New $227 million Epworth Hospital to create 900 jobs Federal Labor has made a $17 million investment towards the $227 million Epworth Geelong Private Hospital in Waurn Ponds.

The plans are to continue to expand the Hospital in stages with the entire project worth $450 million with 400 beds, 15 operating theatres and 1,100 900 new construction jobs will ongoing staff. Once the hospital be created when works starts this is fully operational, it is envisaged year and 700 ongoing health and that more than 46,000 patients administration jobs when the from Greater Geelong and our region will be treated annually. Hospital opens in June 2016. Stage one of the Epworth Geelong Hospital will have 262 inpatient beds, 12 ICU beds and 20 emergency department cubicles, nine operating theatres and full maternity services.

This is another example of how Labor is stepping in to create jobs for our region and expanding critical health services for our community.

Policy shines a light on solar power BY JAMES TAYLOR COMMUNITY groups in Corangamite will be supported to switch to solar hot water or solar energy through a $300,000 Coalition government pledge. Shadow Minister for Climate Action, Environment and Heritage Greg Hunt visited Bells Beach last week to announce the Surf Coast Solar Community project with Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson. Sports clubs, seniors’ clubs, ballet schools and scout centres from Torquay to Lorne are among the groups that will be able to apply for the funds from July 1 next year. Grants will be assessed and awarded on the basis of the greatest savings of carbon dioxide per dollar of funding. “The Coalition’s program will produce a minimum of 25 new solar towns and 100 new solar schools across the nation,” Ms Henderson said.

“I am delighted Corangamite will be home to one of the first.” She said she had worked with organisations such as the Surf Coast Energy Group to develop the proposal. “People are very keen to do what they can. “The Coalition recognises the potential to harness power at a local level. There is no better place for this project than along the Surf Coast. “This is a very important and positive environmental policy.” Mr Hunt said community groups would have the most advantage by switching to solar heating and energy as their buildings and facilities were often used during peak times for sunlight. He said a high-end solar installation would cost about $15,000 and the $300,000 would cover up to 20 community groups, but the Coalition would be “flexible” on the eventual number.

Job creation is my number one priority.

News in brief Council adopts Jerringot Wetlands master plan CITY of Greater Geelong councillors adopted a master plan to protect Jerringot Wetland Reserve last week. The reserve is made up of two main wetland areas linked to the Barwon River floodplain. Council developed a master plan for the reserve in response to a request from the Geelong Field Naturalists Club (GNFC), which has been caretaker of the reserve since 1972.

Funding continues plant life protection BY TIFFANY PILCHER TORQUAY and Jan Jucâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragile coastal vegetation will continue to be protected with the announcement of phase two of the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caring for our Country funding program. The $11.7 million in funding will be distributed by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) to local environmental protection groups over the next five years. Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman made the funding announcement in Jan Juc on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Torquay and Jan Juc area has over 13

individual sites and 177 hectares of coastal vegetation that is actively managed by projects funded by Caring for our Country funding.â&#x20AC;? Mr Cheeseman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Projects managed by this funding are now guaranteed for the next five years and include projects in Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Lorne as well as the 132 sites around Jan Juc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local environmental groups in these areas have made a big difference in how this area is managed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot less haphazard and a lot more protected. While pressures on these areas through increased population and tourism will continue to grow, we need to do what we can to protect the coast and this money will go

further by dispersing it through these local community groups.â&#x20AC;? Great Ocean Road Coast Committee coastal projects manager Mike Bodsworth said the funding will be profoundly helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will allow us to do our work to stop the decline of these areas and start heading in the right direction instead. Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming as a five year commitment it will give us the ability to follow up on sites that need to be managed in longer time frames and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely important for us.â&#x20AC;? The funding is a continuation of Caring for our Country phase one, established from 2008 to 2013.

EPA check Alcoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records LAST week, Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria advised of a small number of dead fish in the Anglesea River due to recent heavy rain. EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southwest manager Eve Graham said fish deaths in this area were naturally occurring following heavy rain in the river catchment which flushed acid soils from coal deposits and tea tree marshes in the river, its tributaries and the estuary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is highly likely that we can rule out pollution we are in the process of checking Alcoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discharge records,â&#x20AC;? Ms Graham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These types of events in this catchment are widely documented and very well understood. It is important to note this is a natural process, which recovers over time as the catchment dries out.â&#x20AC;? Signage is being erected in the area by Surf Coast Shire Council, which is advising that dead or dying fish, especially in the estuary, should not be eaten and swimming in or contact with the water may cause skin or eye irritation. To report fish deaths contact EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pollution Hotline on 1300 372 842.

Consistent winter for local surfers BY ALI DEANE

WHILE the world’s best have been duking it out for the prestigious Billabong Pro Tahiti title in Fiji, and local surfers have torn apart the breaks of Port Macquarie for the Australian Surf Festival, surfers back home are continuing to enjoy a winter that’s consistently dished up quality waves. With a serious low pressure system upon us, Swellnet surf forecaster Craig Brokensha assures local surfers it’s not over yet. “We’ve had some continuous swell the last week and a half now, and some good windows. “We’ve been onto this pattern that’s been perfect, generally, and the surf’s been pumping. “Western Australia has been copping large 10 foot swells, with onshore hell, but South Australia and Victoria have been getting the swell, and good winds.” Mr Brokensha said the surf has generally been good so far along the Surf Coast, but it hasn’t been epic. “The last three or four winters haven’t been standout, they’ve taken a little while to get going, those summer easterly winds have lingered into

autumn. The Rip Curl Pro has scored the last couple of years; the swell’s turned on for that, then died.” The interesting pattern this winter according to Mr Brokensha, is that the sporadic pulses of swell that have popped up have favoured the weekend surfers. After Monday’s peak in swell at seven foot on the Surf Coast, he said it wasn’t over yet for winter. “This will be the biggest swell we’ve seen for a couple of months. After this pulse of MondayTuesday it might settle down a bit, but there’s some new swell later in the week, so hopefully we’ll get another run.” Although the finals were fought out in smaller one to two foot waves at North Haven, NSW, local surfers Greg Brown, Bob Smith, John Lane and Sam Suendermann will receive a warm reception when they return home from the Australian Surf Festival. Brown took the crown in the over-50 men, ahead of Lane in fourth, Smith was fourth in the over-65 men, and Suendermann glided into 3rd in the open women of the Australian Longboard Titles on Sunday.

A couple of nice waves roll through at Cathedral Rock at the weekend, continuing a good run of winter swell.

Anglesea Bowls Club hopeful BY DEAN WEBSTER LIBERAL candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson joined the Anglesea Bowls Club members for an afternoon tea on Sunday, raising hopes that funding is being considered for their Community Hub project. The Anglesea Bowling Club has been working towards redeveloping the out dated club rooms for some time now with a council endorsed business case and feasibility study in place. Surf Coast Shire has committed $250,000 to the project, matching the Bowls Club contribution of $250,000 towards the $1,500,000 target – with the club lobbying the state and federal governments for the remainder. Anglesea Bowls Club president Kaye Kendall said that whilst the project’s economic position is strong in terms of costs and benefits, jobs and tourism, the

social benefits for the aging population is far reaching and beneficial through physical activity, social connectedness and wellbeing.

Surf Coast Shire Anglesea ward councillor Margot Smith said it was great to see that politicians are taking interest in the bowls club project. “This is a great project for the Anglesea community which the council has supported with the allocation of funds in the budget and we hope to secure support from state and federal funding so that we can see it through to completion.”

Watchdogs welcome council election review BY JAMES TAYLOR A REVIEW of the election process for Victorian councils has been welcomed by the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) and the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA). The state government last week announced the review, which follows concerns raised after the 2012 council elections. During last year’s elections, average voter participation decreased but the number of complaints made to the local government investigations and compliance inspectorate increased. The review’s terms of reference ask if

improvements can be made to the electoral process, including candidate integrity issues regarding “dummy” candidates, information disclosure, existing candidacy requirements, campaign funding and disclosure. It will also look at increasing participation through improving public understanding and awareness of elections and candidates, consistency and promoting greater understanding of voter eligibility rules, and the use of postal and attendance voting and their impact on informal voting. MAV president Bill McArthur said he was particularly concerned about eligibility, disclosure and campaign donations.

“We need to look at how the electorate gets to know the people they’re voting for; it can be quite a difficult process. The 150-word candidate statement doesn’t give a lot of information. “We need to be more transparent.” VLGA president Cr Samantha Dunn said the review, if it was a genuine collaboration with local government, had the potential to reinvigorate local democracy. “The review should be a positive and constructive dialogue which is frank about important issues like candidate conduct, voter engagement and campaign funding. “This should not be about the Victorian

government imposing preconceived ideas about how local democracy works or paternalistic regulatory approaches.” Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell said the review panel would be chaired by electoral expert and former state MP Petro Georgiou. “The review will examine the reasons for the lower voter turnout and table processes for dealing quickly with complaints so that they don’t impact on the integrity of future elections.” The panel will issue a discussion paper next month and provide the first part of its report to Ms Powell in January 2014. For more information, head to localgovernment.vic.gov.au.

Students cook their way to final the hospitality industry. The skills on display in last week’s semi final were a good example of this coming to fruition. “It’s a great experience for them as they are exposed to a professional chef, a commercial kitchen and a high pressure environment.” In the final challenge on August 23 at Northern Bay College, competitors will prepare a specified menu for the independent judging panel made of up of renowned food writers and other industry experts. The winners will take away the perpetual trophy, prizes donated by Myer and spend a day shadowing award winning chef, Matt Dempsey at his Inverleigh restaurant, Gladioli.

THE Bellarine’s budding chefs had a semi final cook off last week at St Ignatius College as part of the Y Chef Challenge with two pairs of students progressing to the final this Friday. The students are getting a taste of the hospitality industry as they work with celebrated chef Daniel Brehaut to battle it out in an interschool cooking challenge. Famed MoVida head chef Frank Cammora, who also has a cooking show on Foxtel, will judge VET hospitality students from the four participating schools in the final and will be joined on the judging panel by a couple of other local food identities. Participating students have worked with mentors from leading local restaurants weekly since June. When the competition was launched, St Ignatius head of food technology Kristin Williamson said the challenge and classes with multi-award winning chef Mr Brehaut would give the students a head start in

Corangamite voters have pick of the dozen BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Greens have had an early win in the battle for Australia’s most marginal seat, with their candidate Lloyd Davies securing top spot on the ballot paper. At the weekend, the Australian Electoral Commission announced the 12 candidates who will contest Corangamite at the federal election on September 7. Buddy Rojek is listed on the ballot paper in ninth spot as the Palmer United Party candidate, but was disendorsed at the weekend following the fallout over his plans for his election night party. Other candidates in the seat are (in ballot order): • Personal care worker Helen Rashleigh for the Rise Up Australia Party • Retiree Alan Barron for the Australian Christians • Researcher Adrian Whitehead, who is listed as an independent but is standing for Save The Planet • Incumbent Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman, who holds the seat by 0.4 per cent • Farmer Peter Wray for the Family First Party • Student Jayden Millard for the Sex Party

Solar panel claim queried BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state government has queried a claim by an electrical company that people who had not serviced their solar panels ran the risk of having their home disconnected from the power grid. Torquay resident Errol Simmons contacted the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times earlier this month about a “solar servicing discount voucher” he received from a Melbourne-based electrical firm. The voucher from the firm, which has an office in Torquay, states: “Warning! Have your solar panels ever been serviced? If not, you run the risk of voiding your warranty or worse still, your power supplier can disconnect your home from the power grid.” Mr Simmons said he contacted his electrical supplier to see if either condition was true, and was told the voucher’s claims were inaccurate. Mr Simmons has had solar panels on his house for about three years, and said they worked particularly well in the brighter months. “Last summer, they kept my power bill down to $100 in the quarter, and put a fair bit back into the grid as well.” A spokesperson from the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation said the electrical company’s claims needed some clarification. “Victoria’s Electricity Distribution Code gives distributors the right to disconnect a rooftop solar system if that system breaches safety regulations. “The discovery of safety issues with a solar system does not give a distributor the right to disconnect a home’s power, just the solar system.”

Hard to believe that we are now in the last ten days of winter and although the first two thirds delivered us a mild, dry, temperate period, August has certainly rekindled the memories of “good old fashioned winters”. This year like no other, we have accelerated to two thirds through the year without blinking an eye. What historically represents our seasonal quiet months of June , July and August this year has been filled with activity, not all of the type that we welcome but a very, very busy winter period. Our Local Football and Netball Club have had a stellar season both on and off the field with the senior and reserve sides finishing on top of the ladder and the under 14’s finishing third. To cap off the on-field success our U/15 netballers also finished on top of the ladder, only succumbing to Alvie in their last game of the year by only one goal for their first loss of the year. All teams will be in action this weekend in Colac so be sure you get there to support the Dolphin “Super Pod”. The great work of the club has continued off field after the recent announcement of raising just over $65,000 for the Casey Tutungi Future Fund – we are proud of them all! The action and activity of our town will go to even higher levels through spring with the upcoming Lorne Festival of Performing Arts, Amy’s Gran Fondo, Lorne Film and the Lorne Adventure Race, just to name a few. First on the agenda is the 3rd Annual Lorne Festival of Performing Arts which will see Lorne come alive over the weekend of September 6-8. Hosted by Love Lorne and celebrating Culture by the Sea, audiences can bathe in an ocean or stories, tunes and visual treats including thrilling chanteuses, bawdy burlesque, cracker comedy as well as poetry, dance, music, workshops and something for children too. The Lorne Festival of Performing Arts offers a chance for locals and audiences making a special trip to town to experience some impressive talents performing against the backdrop of a relaxed seaside lifestyle in a unique and engaging environment. For full details, program and information on purchasing tickets go to www.lovelornefestival.com and be sure not to miss it! Please mark in your diaries Friday 6th of September for our third Committee for Lorne lunch at the stunning Lorne View at the Lorne Hotel. RSVP a must to nicola. muxworthy@gmail.com.

IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN Committee for Lorne

MOVING TO LORNE

The Duncans Sometimes you need a circuit-breaker from the daily grind and so it was for us when we moved our family of five to Lorne. My husband Garran was working long hours and travelling regularly with his firm, Protiviti, and with three young children and the planning well underway for a large renovation of our future family home in Melbourne we considered the possibility of relocating to Lorne. Garran’s family has a long association with Lorne and Birregurra, spanning five generations and have occupied property in Lorne for over 60 years. My association with Lorne is somewhat more recent, commencing not long after I left school when my family stayed in the Ramsey household. Later, after I married Garran, we purchased our own property. In the first 18 months after buying into Lorne we could not afford to stay in our house and we rented it to fantastic tenants who were building their own home in Lorne. We are now proud to say that we are residents ourselves, much sooner than we thought possible when we bought. It is not easy to uproot a growing family and move to a different place. Garran’s work required him to be in Melbourne or interstate, which meant our family was split from Monday to Friday. A different school and kindergarten required adjustment, and we are fortunate Lorne’s health services could meet the needs of one of our sons, who is at risk of anaphylaxis. The Lorne Community Hospital is a fantastic asset to the town. Any concerns we had about the changes in schooling were quickly allayed when Geoff Couper conducted a school tour at the conclusion of which our two older children were being waved goodbye by their new friends who farewelled them by name! The kindergarten is also impressive, offering many experiences not available in a city setting such as free-range chickens within the grounds, various excursions within the local community and the oceanview, something that the kinder and the school have in common. The impact of Garran working away from us is something that we always have to manage, but Garran is never happier than when wakes in Lorne, has a short walk for coffee from the Louttit Bay Bakery or breakfast from Cafe Kaos. He also loves nothing more than taking a walk or a run on the tracks surrounding the town, which he has enjoyed since he was the same age as our kids. I have found the transition amazingly easy and I am sure many of the friendships I have made this year will endure for life.

Moving to a new town and establishing new friendships is a challenge but with an open mind friendships evolve quickly, a testament to the friendliness of the Lorne community. It also doesn’t hurt if you get involved with the fantastic Lorne Dolphins, which is the lifeblood of the town! That said if football is not your fancy, you can take your pick from netball, basketball, surf-lifesaving, judo, hiphop dancing and tennis – all activities our family has been involved with this year. Eight months into our move to Lorne there is a new dynamic in our family. We no longer have weekend after weekend ﬁlled with commitments that, in some ways, stopped us from simply enjoying our lives. The kids have beneﬁted from so many experiences that they would never been exposed to in Melbourne such as heading to the beach after school almost every day in summer, close and personal experiences with various wildlife (including kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, whales, dolphins and various birdlife), small class sizes and personalised attention at school and kinder, and the opportunity to meet a range of people from all walks of life. As for me, well, I’m living Garran’s dream! We will relocate to Melbourne in early 2014 when our renovation is completed but our association with Lorne will be lifelong. PRISCILLA DUNCAN

COMMUNITY PROFILE Eileen was born in 1914 in Prahran and moved to Lorne at 3 weeks of age. Eileen is one of 5 children of Cecil and Johanna Clissold. Eileen’s dad owned a sawmill and he employed 7 people. Eileen can remember at age 12 taking tea to her dad on the pier and watching the ships come in to deliver goods to Lorne (the Great Ocean Road didn’t exist yet) and then the ships would load up wood from one of the 7 timber mills to take back to Melbourne. The ships names were the The Erskine, Moonah, Alice and Casino. There were nine guesthouses in Lorne. Eileen said you used to have to get a train to Dean’s Marsh and then a coach with 4-6 horses (which were changed over at Benwerrin) to get to Lorne. Eileen met Jack Quick and they started dating, Jack worked for Quicks Motors (passenger service cars, before the bus service). Jack served in WW2 in the Middle East and was a “Rat of Tobruk”. They married in 1946 at C of E and honeymooned in Dandenong. Eileen worked in the ofﬁce at Quicks Motors. They had three children; Joanna, Beatrice and David. Eileen’s hobbies included tennis, golf and ballroom dancing. Eileen has been very happy living in Lorne. BQ

Sands community turn out in numbers BY DEAN WEBSTER AN ESTIMATED 250 local residents and members of the broader Torquay community attended an information session on the proposed aged care facility for The Sands. Facilitated by the Handbury Group, the aim of the information session was to provide as much relevant information as possible to residents. Representatives of all parties – St Quentin Consulting, the Handbury Group and the Surf Coast Shire Council – responded to a variety of questions from the floor for two hours. Council planning spokesperson Brydon King advised the Handbury proposal was not a “done deal” and the submission needed to go through due process, eventually being voted on

Election battle goes mobile BY JAMES TAYLOR INTEREST in mobile phone reception has strengthened in Corangamite, with both major parties turning their attention to the issue last week. Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson announced the Coalition would spend $100 million to address mobile phone black spots across Australia if it formed government. “This is a huge win for Geelong, Golden Plains, Bellarine and the Surf Coast,” she said. “More than 250 people responded to my mobile phone blackpots survey last month. “There are a number of communities across Corangamite such as Ocean Grove, Anglesea, Teesdale and Bannockburn which have inadequate mobile phone coverage. “Services drop in and out and in some places just doesn’t exist. “Mobile phone coverage is so important for small business, farmers and families in regional areas.” She said Labor had “not spent one dollar on mobile communications, since being elected”. In response, incumbent Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman said the National Broadband Network (NBN) would help improve mobile coverage across the electorate. He said the NBN’s fixed wireless towers could be used to host mobile carriers such as Optus and Telstra. “Through the Rudd Labor government’s NBN fixed wireless rollout, hundreds of new towers are already being built across regional and rural Australia. “NBN Co has already entered into agreements with both Telstra and Optus to use NBN infrastructure to improve mobile coverage. “This approach allows additional coverage for customers and more choice for people in rural and regional areas. “We already have towers in the Smythesdale region and the rollout of wireless will progressively help remove black spots in our region.” He said the NBN was the largest ever investment in regional telecommunications in Australian history. “The Coalition’s belated interest in regional communities comes after 12 years of telecommunications neglect while they were in government.”

Mobile phone black spots in Corangamite are the subject of rival policies in the lead up to the federal election. Here, a phone tower in Torquay gets an upgrade.

by councillors formally. Mr King advised the community to use the formal process if they plan to object to the development, and said written submissions will be taken from August 22. Councillor Rose Hodge said that to enable herself as a councillor, she must hear from all sides to gain the evidence to make an informed decision. “The process can be frustrating for the community and council but it is essential we hear from all, as from August 22 the formal process will begin and if emails have already been sent, residents could resend them after submissions open to be part of the formal process,” she said. St Quentin Consulting managing director Cameron Gray said he felt that a majority of the residents now have a much better understanding of

the residential aged care facility proposal. “We are continuing to provide as much information as possible as the planning amendment application process progresses.” Handbury Group chief executive officer Blake Ammit said that the hotel operation had suffered from a range of factors, including seasonal fluctuations in patronage, variable conferencing demands, increased competition from the RACV Torquay Resort and others, and that the Handbury Group was assessing other options for a viable use of the site. A spokesperson for The Sands Action Group said they were very concerned that the Handbury Group seems unable or unwilling to answer key questions. “We asked if they had any prior knowledge of

aged care facilities successfully integrating with a similar estate and the answer was no, the Handbury Group chief executive officer stated at the meeting they had been approached by OC Health and it was the only offer on the table.” Meanwhile, Owners Corporation chairman Peter Poteralski is reminding The Sands OC1 lot owners of the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM) being held at The Sands Torquay clubhouse on August 25 at 3pm. Owners and are encouraged to attend as there is an agenda item related to the matter of the aged care facility application. If lot owners are unable to attend, they should assign a vote using the proxy form included with their AGM notice and forward it to the OC1 manager Brian Schnall.

Take the lead in leveraging big events BY JAMES TAYLOR LEADERSHIP will help bring the big events down the highway from Melbourne, according to the head of the governing body of one of Australia’s most popular sports. Tennis Australia director Craig Tiley was the keynote speaker at the Committee for Geelong’s gala event at the Wharf Shed restaurant earlier this month. Mr Tiley presented to committee members and guests as well as the most recent graduates of the Leaders for Geelong program. He spoke about the opportunity for Geelong to use leadership to leverage from Melbourne’s pulling power for major events. Golf Victoria and 13th Beach Golf Links co-sponsored the dinner. Golf Victoria chief executive officer Simon Brookhouse spoke about the benefits of locating the Vic Open in the Geelong region. Committee for Geelong executive director Rebecca Casson said she was pleased by the encouragement from Mr Tiley and Mr Brookhouse. “Melbourne often gets the cherry, but Geelong is very well positioned to take the second bite. “The Australian Open held in Melbourne, and games of the Davis Cup being held in Geelong is a great example of this. The Vic Open golf tournament is yet another instance of a major event finding a natural home in this region. “With the recent unveiling of plans to turn Simonds Stadium into Victoria’s third national stadium, we have to consider doing things differently to attract major events and maximise opportunities by working in partnership with event organisers to share risks and benefits.” For more head to committeeforgeelong.com.au.

Coalition life saving plan draws support BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Coalition’s plan to reduce drownings across the country has been welcomed by the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia. Last week, Liberal candidate announced a Coalition government would invest $15 million in three leading water safety organisations – surf life saving clubs, the Royal Life Saving Society, and AUSTSWIM. Ms Henderson said most drownings were, in some way, preventable, hence the focus on prevention. “Our plan will provide local surf clubs with average grants of $25,000 over five years to assist them purchase needed equipment, first aid and medical supplies. “A typical surf club spends $3,000 a year on medical supplies like lotions, band-aids and bandages, so these grants will help surf clubs make ends meet. “We will also provide $2 million to expand the

successful Beach Drowning Black Spot Reduction program. “As currents can be as dangerous as rips, our policy also works with the Royal Life Saving Society to Australia to identify ways of improving water safety on our inland waterways.” Royal Life Saving chief executive officer Justin Scarr said the policy responded to concerns about the decline in swimming and water safety skills of children aged 5-19 years old. “Rivers, lakes and dams are a common location for drowning deaths in Australia; 735 people have lost their lives in the past 10 years in a river, creek or stream; 104 people drowned in inland waterways last year alone. “Ensuring that children from Indigenous, migrant and economically disadvantaged communities have access to the life saving skills of Swim and Survive may address drowning but also opens up a lifetime of safe, fun and healthy recreation in, on and around water.”

Fondo rolls on with state funding BY JAMES TAYLOR THE race to Amy’s Gran Fondo is on, and the state government has tipped in $40,000 towards the annual event. Last week, Amy Gillet Foundation patron Simon Gillett was joined by Minister for Sport and Recreation Hugh Delahunty to launch the countdown for the all ages endurance cycling festival, which will be held along the Great Ocean Road on September 15. The foundation and the races were established in honour of Amy Gillett, who was tragically killed in a training accident in Germany in 2005. Mr Delahunty said last year’s festival raised more than $92,000 to promote safe cycling and driver awareness of cyclists on the roads. “That’s why the Coalition government is delighted to provide $40,000 from its Significant Sporting Events program towards Amy’s Gran Fondo.” “I would like to commend the Amy Gillett Foundation and Cycling Australia for coordinating

this great event as well as the Colac Otway and Surf Coast shires and Victoria Police for their logistical support.” More than 7,000 people have ridden in the event since 2011. Ride lengths include the 14 kilometre Piccolo Fondo around Lorne for beginners and families, the 40 kilometre Medio Fondo one way ride from Lorne to Apollo Bay and the 110 kilometre circuit for advanced cyclists. The top riders also have the chance to qualify for the 2013 UCI World Cycling Tour World Championships. Minister for Roads and Polwarth MP Terry Mulder said the state government supported initiatives or activities which increased awareness of cycling safety. “This event, now in its third year, gives riders the opportunity to enjoy a ride through some of Victoria’s most iconic scenery in a closed road environment.” For more information about Amy’s Gran Fondo, head to amygillett.org.au.

Grove announcement keeps seniors in touch BY TIFFANY PILCHER SURF Coast and Bellarine senior citizens will now find it easier to stay in the technology loop with a $2,000 grant to upgrade training programs at Broadband for Seniors internet kiosks. The training programs will help seniors learn how to keep in regular contact with their family and friends online and how to continue learning new computer skills. The federal government funding announcement was made by Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin and Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman in Ocean Grove last week. “Older Australians want to be part of the communications revolution and use the internet to keep up to date with their friends and family. “But with technology constantly changing senior

Australians occasionally need help keeping up with their kids and grandkids,” Ms Macklin said. Mr Cheeseman said not only Ocean Grove, but all internet kiosks in Corangamite can benefit from the extra funding. “The fifteen internet kiosks here in Corangamite will be eligible for a $2,000 grant to boost training and information sessions for seniors, in particular on cyber safety and personal security,” Mr Cheeseman said. Broadband for Seniors provide seniors with free access to computers with broadband internet, as well as training in basic computing, internet browsing and email skills from teams of dedicated volunteers. Broadband for Seniors kiosks on the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast are located at the Ocean Grove Senior Citizens Centre, Anglesea and District Historical Society, Anglesea Bowling Club, Anglesea Senior Citizens Club, and Apollo Bay Bowls Club.

Partnering in support for local businesses BY ALI DEANE LOCAL accountancy firm Crowe Horwath, in conjunction with Surfing Victoria, plans to send Victoria’s Small Business Festival out in style with a business networking event in Torquay next week. Held at Surfing Victoria headquarters at Surf City Plaza next Friday afternoon, the event will provide an opportunity for businesses in the area to meet and develop B2B relationships over a drink and pizza. Paul Robson, Principal of Crowe Horwath, said the event aims to bring the business community in

Torquay together and provide an opportunity to network in a casual environment over a bite to eat. “When you get different business owners together it is amazing the amount of opportunities created for those businesses to work together,” Mr Robson said. “We’ve seen businesses that operate four doors apart, having never done business together, forge partnerships. “All businesses are welcome to attend, and the opportunity will be there to meet other business owners and source new business options.” On the night there will be representatives from

Surfing Victoria and Crowe Horwath, as well as businesses from the Torquay region. Crowe Horwath, who recently changed its name from WHK, has been in Torquay since late 2012, with over 80 years of history in the Geelong region. Their global and national connections have assisted many businesses grow both locally and further abroad. “Our network helps us service our local clients that want to explore different opportunities, perhaps import from China or export to New Zealand for example. Our clients appreciate the fact we have the resources of a global accounting firm to assist

with local issues. “We want to support local businesses and we’ve got a great relationship with Surfing Victoria, who make a significant contribution to the local community, and their Surfers in Suits program aimed at the corporate business market is another example of their support.” The event will be from 4-6pm on August 30 at Surfing Victoria, Surf City Plaza Torquay. To RSVP, contact Kathryn Egan at Crowe Horwath in Torquay on 5261 2080 or email torquay@crowehorwath.com.au.

Seasonal firefighters needed BY JAMES TAYLOR APPLICATIONS are open for seasonal firefighting roles with the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) and Parks Victoria ahead of summer. Project firefighting opportunities are available at more than 80 DEPI and Parks Victoria locations across the state, stretching from Mildura in the far north west, to Cann River in the east and Heywood in the south west. The first intake of project firefighters will be involved in planned burn operations and other important preparation work ahead of the 2013-14 fire season. A range of seasonal positions are on offer, including roles as firefighters, fire support officers, hover exit crew and rappel crew members. Successful recruits will undertake firefighting training conducted by DEPI and Parks

Victoria fire personnel. In the 2012-13 season, project firefighters helped carry out 250,000 hectares of public land burning – the highest amount in the last 30 years. Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith said the state government’s planned burning program was focused on reducing the risk bushfires pose to lives, property and critical infrastructure. “Every year we employ about 600 seasonal firefighters to work throughout the warmer, drier months. “When the conditions suit, these staff are deployed throughout the state to carry out fire prevention activities such as planned burning. “At other times, they’re on the front line, fighting forest and grass fires.” For more information on project firefighting visit depi.vic.gov.au. To apply, visit careers.vic.gov.au.

Students experience thrill of performance LAST week saw The Geelong College Year 8 students hit the stage in an all singing, all dancing original production of Eurostars 2013. Over three nights and one matinee, the house was packed and the students experienced the thrill of performance and all that goes into it. Eurostars 2013 was written by Year 6 teacher Mr Andrew McKie and adapted by the students through improvisation and character development workshops and featured hit songs including “99 Red Balloons”, “La Voix”, “Ti Amo” and “When you say nothing at all”. Students worked with expert acting coaches and choreographers to learn new skills and challenge themselves, and the result was some fantastic dance scenes and a host of funny, warm and believable characters very reminiscent of the world famous Eurovision Song Contest. “It was really challenging to decide what accent your character would have and to learn your lines without forgetting your accent,” Scott, a Year 8 student said. “It took a long time and lots of practising together to get it to sound right and to be believable, but it was really worth it when you listened to the audience and knew you had done a good job.” Principal Mr Andrew Barr attended opening night. “It was wonderful to see you all up there performing with confidence and working together to achieve something really entertaining,” he told the cast and crew. The Year 8 Production is just one of the many opportunities students at The Geelong College have to experience and learn the Performing Arts. Starting from Early Learning at Junior School students take

drama and music workshops with specialist teachers and explore their creative communication through shadow puppets, singing, instrumental exploration, mime and movement. This continues on to Middle School where students take specialist drama and music each year until Year 8 when a range of Performing Arts electives, including the production, are available. At Senior School, Music, Drama and Dance are all offered through to VCE level and the performance opportunities across the College are immense, from choirs, ensembles, orchestras and rock bands, to Shakespearean drama, music theatre productions and dance concerts, the students certainly have the opportunity to showcase their talents. “We are so very fortunate here at College to have an outstanding Performing Arts program that creates opportunities like this for students of all ages,” Mr Barr said. “Through the Performing arts, students develop specific skills but more importantly self-confidence by pushing their boundaries, and a real sense of teamwork and achievement. We saw this in Eurostars 2013 and on Tuesday night at our Senior School and Junior School Orchestra Performance Evening. Year 11 and 12 students were helping and performing with Year 2 and 3 students in a beautiful evening of music making, leadership and community.” From 5-7 September The Geelong College Senior School will present A Midsummer Night’s Dream and on Friday 13 September musical performances from the whole of the College will be presented at the annual Foundation Concert at Costa Hall, please visit geelongcollege.vic.edu.au for more The Geelong College Year 8 students hit the stage in the all singing, all dancing original production of Eurostars 2013. information.

Know about quinoa and help feed the world THE Andean band Inka Marka is set to provide entertainment at a free event coming up this weekend in Aireys Inlet. With their roots in the countries connected by the Andes mountains, these popular musicians describe their music as having South American origins, but with a mixture of influences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some are preColumbian, some are European, some are Indigenous in the tradition of the ancient Aymara people. Inka Marka have performed their mystical melodies throughout Australia and internationally and may be familiar to readers from their appearances at the Port Fairy Folk Festival and the Queen Victoria Market.

Inka Marka has been attracted to Aireys Inlet to support an event in recognition of the United Nations (UN) International Year of Quinoa, and the broader issue of world food security. Guest speaker at the event Dr Paul Woods will share some of his extensive field experience working for World Vision on food security projects in Peru and many other developing countries. Dr Woods is also one of the reviewers of the next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Climate report. An initiative of the Aireys Inlet Uniting Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outreach Team, the Feed the World event will also address what ordinary people can do to make a difference.

Overseas aid projects that are supported locally, such as Red Cross, World Vision, TEAR, Clean Stoves for Africa, the churchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overseas aid programs, clean water in Cambodia and the Las Lomas School project, have been invited to mount information stands. One of the event organisers, Mary Bremner, said many people know quinoa as a trendy grain, or super food, but not a lot of people know that the UN has devoted a whole year to promoting its potential to alleviate the looming world food crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With 850 million people in the world today chronically undernourished, and our global population set to increase by over 30 per cent by 2050, solutions

have to be found.â&#x20AC;? Quinoa is a highly nutritious, ancient cereal crop, traditionally grown in Peru and Bolivia. It is the only plant food that contains all the essential amino acids, trace elements and vitamins and contains no gluten. Quinoa is adaptable to a range of climates and production is expanding to other continents, including Australia, where it is growing successfully in Tasmania. A free lunch, featuring quinoa soup, will be supplied. The event will take place at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall on August 25, beginning at 10.30am. More information is at surfcoast.unitingchurch.org.au.

Andean band Inka Marka will provide free entertainment at Feed the World, a free event in Aireys Inlet.

Charities urged to get on board for Giveback BY JAMES TAYLOR SURF Coast charities have been encouraged to apply to an annual grant program that has doubled in size this year. Earlier this month, eftpos announced the 2013 Giveback campaign at Christmas would provide up to $2 million towards worthy causes. The Australian managing director of the payment system, Bruce Mansfield,

has asked charities to submit proposals about how they would use a donation to help Australians in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The eftpos Giveback tradition is now in its third year and we have decided to double the potential donation up to $2 million,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are starting the 2013 campaign by asking Australian charities to tell us how they would use the donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important for Australian companies like eftpos to get

involved with charitable campaigns, and raise their commitment to helping Australian charities make a difference in the lives of Australians in need.â&#x20AC;? In the lead-up to Christmas, Surf Coast Shire residents will be asked to support Australian charities by pressing CHQ or SAV at the checkout. Giveback is looking for proposals that have national reach, enable the charity to do something that it would not be able to

do through traditional funding sources, and do not require recurrent annual funding. Last year, the campaign donated $1 million to help fulfil Vision Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time ambition to build a world class seeing eye dog breeding and training centre in Melbourne. In 2011, $1 million was donated to the Salvos for a number of community programs across Australia. Submissions for the Giveback 2013

close on August 30, at which time eftpos may ask the Australian community to nominate which causes should be supported. Last year, 30 per cent of more than 40,000 surveyed Australians indicated their support for disability charities.

Arthritis in pets WHAT is Arthritis? Arthritis literally means inflammation of the joints. When arthritis occurs the cartilage lining of the joint wears down, resulting in inflammation and pain. The cartilage lining can wear down because of disease, poor structure or development – for example hip dysplasia – unusual gait or conformation or excessive weight gain. Symptoms of arthritis in pets vary and can include: • Stiffness or slowness when getting up or down, or after resting • Difficulty going up or down stairs or for cats unwillingness to jump • Reduction in activity or a reluctance to exercise • Dragging back legs, worn toe nails or reluctance to groom in cats • Often the pain with arthritis is worse after resting, vigorous exercise or cold weather. Managing arthritis Arthritis cannot be cured. The key to controlling the pain associated with arthritis is managing the inflammation within the joints. The added benefit to this is that with good control we will also slow arthritis progression. To manage the inflammation within the joints, the vets at Torquay Animal House focus on a multipoint plan including the following.

Weight control Weight control is extremely important when managing the symptoms and minimising the progression of arthritis. Calorie restricted diets and gentle exercise to maintain ideal (low end of normal) body weight are essential for animals with arthritis. We also recommend this for animals that are predisposed or at risk of arthritis. Gentle and appropriate exercise Walking and swimming are the best forms of exercise for dogs with arthritis. The appropriate duration of exercise depends on the individual pet. Regular short bouts of exercise is better than occasional large bouts. Chasing balls and frisbees can be very hard on already sore joints. Joint cartilage protective medications Pentosan polysulphate (Cartrophen) is a veterinary product that increases joint fluid production and increases blood supply to joint surfaces. The use of Pentosan polysulphate has been proven to slow the progression of arthritis and help control the pain associated with the disease. Neutraceuticals – for example Green Lipped Mussel These products contain chondrotin or glucosamine – the building blocks of cartilage. Supplying inflamed joints with these building blocks allows for constant production of healthy joint cartilage, which in turn assists the joints to reduce

inflammation and thus reduce pain. Acupuncture Acupuncture can be administered by specially trained veterinarians. This can often provide excellent results for arthritic patients, and is free from side effects and drugs.

Anti-inflammatory medications Anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to help control the pain associated with arthritis. They are best used to control acute pain and as an adjunct for management of chronic pain. Anti-inflammatories will not slow progression of the disease and are best

used in combination with other modes of treatment. If you are concerned your pet is showing any of the clinical signs mentioned above then Torquay Animal House at 120 Geelong Road, would be happy to help with a winter health check. Call 5261 6486.

Get on board and stick with Bells! ADVERTORIAL

There may be a few waxes around, but none are as natural and local as Torquay’s Bells Surf Wax, launched last week and stocked at Tigerfish and Third Wave.

The new Bells Surf Wax is hand-poured into moulds, biodegradable and 100 per cent organic.

BY ALI DEANE Bells Surf Wax’s Aussie Grommet will brighten up your board, and last for multiple surfs.

FOR creator-founders Sam and Lisa Ham, it seemed only natural to offer surfers a quality, 100 per cent organic product that would also give the local protected marine reserves the respect they deserve. Made from bees wax, pine tree resin and a secret blend of all natural plantbased materials, Bells Surf Wax comes in a pack of four, a smart technique to save the environment with less packaging. The unique 3D bell shape, each hand-pressed, makes for easy handlelike application and there is a variety of temperatures it handles, degrees of stickiness, and some really bright colours. Mr Ham recommends always beginning with the base coat, followed by your preferred choice of top coat. “I’d recommend the standard cool/ cold formula year round for our water temperatures; it can handle anything from 10 to 20 degrees. “Then there’s the Airborne (cool/ cold) – an ultra sticky top coat perfect for aerials, late take offs etcetera, the

Aussie Grommet (yellow and green) and Bright Grommet (cool white, light blue and orange) in cool/cold that really brighten your board up, there’s the Warm for Sydney to the Gold Coast (20-24ºC) and Tropical for Gold Coast summer, Indonesia or Hawaii. “Local surfers have been checking it out over the last few months, and we’ve been undergoing rigorous research and development since March.

Bells Surf Wax’s clever design makes waxing up easy.

“A few guys are saying it’s nice and sticky, lasting a few surfs before needing another coat. The Airborne was actually too sticky, especially for booties, so we tamed it down. “We know we’ve got the products right, and we just hope people embrace it, the locals, and people coming down to surf our breaks.” It’s not just Sam and Lisa Ham behind Bells Surf Wax. Their three sons, Brayden, 14, Sheldon, 12 and Charlie, 10 each had input into the new company and various stages of bringing the business idea to fruition. “We’ve always got ideas, we’ll keep trying to improve the product and we’ll keep looking forward.” Bells Surf Wax is biodegradable and will not melt in the sun, so support a local company and get some on your board this season. Head to bellssurfwax.com.au to check out the range and buy through the online shop. Also, like Bells Surf Wax on Facebook. Phone 0437 252 090 for information.

Join reference group for emergency borefield BY JAMES TAYLOR BARWON Water is forming a community reference group to provide feedback about the Barwon Downs borefield. The licence for the borefield, which is used to supplement Geelong’s drinking water supply during extremely dry conditions, was last issued in 2004 and is due for renewal in June 2019. The borefield is an important drought reserve for the communities of Geelong, the Surf Coast, the Bellarine Peninsula and parts of

Golden Plains Shire. At the height of the 2006-10 drought – the worst on record – Geelong’s water storages dropped to 14 per cent when catchment inflows were severely reduced. The borefield provided up to 70 per cent of the region’s drinking water during this time. The water authority will reassess its groundwater monitoring program as part of the renewal process. The Barwon Downs Groundwater Community Reference Group (BDGCRG) will provide advice on the issues to be covered by the

monitoring program. There has been recent community interest in the environmental implications of the borefield, including extraction limits and whether they were sustainable under climate change projections. Barwon Water general manager of strategy and planning Carl Bicknell said the group would comprise up to 12 people from a broad range of sectors, including business, industry, landowners, environmental groups, farmers and the general community. “We want coverage of social, economical,

environmental and technical perspectives to ensure every aspect of the operation of this important water source is addressed. “In particular, we want the group to assist Barwon Water in providing a structured and transparent approach to a monitoring program that ticks all the boxes.” For an expression of interest form for the BDGCRG, head to barwonwater.vic.gov.au or phone 1300 656 007. Completed forms must be returned to Barwon Water by 5pm on September 4.

Farmers urged to look out for parasitic worm larvae BY DEAN WEBSTER THE Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) is urging livestock producers to closely monitor and treat internal parasites in sheep and cattle this winter. Dry conditions over summer and recent rainfall have seen an increase in the number of worm larvae in pastures across south west Victoria. Given the already tough season, this is placing extra nutritional stress on sheep and cattle across the district. Recent rain has provided ideal conditions for the survival of worm larvae on pastures. Animals that are nutritionally stressed, grazing short pastures and in light condition are more susceptible to heavy worm burdens. As the weather warms up in spring, there is the potential for worm numbers to explode, especially if grass growth is restricted by low rainfall and producers are encouraged to monitor worm

burdens closely with faecal egg counts and drench accordingly. Local livestock agent David Webb, of HF Richardson, said it’s important to keep a keen eye on livestock for rapid loss of condition and scouring, especially in sheep and lambs. “If you are concerned about the condition of your livestock it pays to get a worm egg count done to be sure. “You’re only throwing money down the drain if you’re drenching clean stock.” Faecal egg count kits are available online and collected samples can be mailed in the post with a response via email in about two to three days. Worm tests start from $27 each test. Drench resistance tests are also recommended if there is a suspicion of drench resistance on your property. For further information please contact your local veterinarian or DEPI animal health officer.

The road to wealth management is all yellow BY DEAN WEBSTER YELLOW Brick Road Geelong and Torquay have climbed the financial management road to success over the past 12 months, and it’s all yellow. Yellow Brick Road (YBR) Geelong and Torquay principal Stuart Baker is blown away with the growth in the business over the past 12 months. “We are currently ranked the third most successful YBR business in Australia, a great achievement from our team in the short time we have been helping people achieve their financial goals,” he said. “Our team goal is to help over 1,000 families over the next five years.” Interest rates are at historical lows and Stuart advises people to consider locking in some of their loan, if appropriate, as YBR has access to some of the cheapest money in Australia at the moment being 4.74 per cent. “There has never been a better opportunity to get control of your mortgage, we have an office in Geelong and Torquay, or if more convenient our wealth managers can come to you.” Stuart said the team at Yellow Brick Road Geelong and Torquay are about ensuring their clients get a fair go. “The banks and other financial institutions rely on confusing jargon and people not having time to look into their finances. “What we do for our clients is help them develop a balanced wealth plan that is mindful of both their financial and lifestyle goals. “We then assist putting their plan in place by sourcing the best home loans, super, insurance and investments available. We constantly save thousands of dollars per year for Geelong and Surf Coast clients, and given how tight household cash flows are these days you can imagine their delight. “Our clients tell us about the relief they feel when we provide some certainty about their financial future – it’s a great weight off their shoulders.”

Yellow Brick Road’s Dylan, Isaac, Sharyn, Melissa, Leticia and Stuart Baker at Fishermans Beach Torquay. INSET: Yellow Brick Road Geelong and Torquay principal Stuart Baker.

Yellow Brick Road is helping many clients to finance their first investment property, which with the present interest rate savings and tax breaks can make their repayments close to being covered by the rent, according to Mr Baker.

“Unfortunately we are somewhat the best kept secret, and are trying to get the message out to anyone who hasn’t reviewed their loan in the last 12 months, that they are most likely wasting thousands of dollars per year,” he said.

Dear Editor, Replying to Jem’s letter last week (“Other soccer goals in NPL bid”) regarding Surf Coast Football Club’s bid for the National Premier League (NPL), the answer is “yes”, our committee is absolutely committed to providing both participation-level and elite pathways for women, men, girls and boys. If successful in our NPL bid, there will be a local club for those kids and adults who want just to play locally. Surf Coast FC’s motto is “A club for everyone”, and we have always attempted to find places for people, no matter what their ability. Our core aim is to create a self-sustaining circle, where encouraging kids of all abilities to play drives a talent pool that creates more elite-level kids, which in turn inspires even more kids to participate. Both aims feed off each other. My opinion is that if you don’t do both, your club is likely to whither in the longer term. Regarding consultation over the NPL process, every club member should be aware of this, as it has been advertised widely, and every member was invited to attend a meeting to discuss this matter. At the meeting there was overwhelming support to further develop the club, where we could continue to provide opportunities for all, including providing opportunities locally for elite level kids. Surf Coast FC is very proud to have developed a sport in our community that has broad appeal to women, men, girls and boys of all ages and abilities. Joe Taylor Surf Coast FC president

Covenant clarity

Dear Editor, Let us be clear about the Ocean Grove covenant. Firstly, a common law action in the Supreme Court is granted if unopposed. Judge Randall did not examine the old Ocean Grove covenant in his finding of January as he had no need, no person appeared in court before him in William Street, and removal was granted unopposed. Peter Bettess for the City of Greater Geelong (COGG) is not happy about this, he does not explain and it is not sure that he accepts the legal position. Secondly, a legal practitioner in a title search under the Transfer of Land Act goes back to the root or parent title, especially in conveyancing. In the case of Ocean Grove this identifies in multiple ways an 1887 subdivision (by Grigg et al) into some 2,500 lots, each with the covenant against “manufacture or sale” of liquor in that “scheme”. Benefitted lands of a covenant are written on titles, which would take many large folios for 2,500 lots, or else recognised in property law from the scheme of development identifying the encumbered and mutually benefitting titles. Mr Bettess does not do this; and so he finds “no scheme, no beneficiaries”, implying the 120-yearold covenant to be invalid, and unenforceable, which is absurd. This radical view of COGG’s has no support at VCAT or elsewhere, but Mr Bettess is unwilling to change his mind, or to be advised by the Registrar, by a professor of law, or to have a second legal opinion outside of Geelong.

Thirdly, COGG takes its unsupported views to be law, assuming Supreme Court powers which it does not have, and has informed title-holders accordingly. With no beneficiaries there can be no objectors, says COGG, deleting 2,500 covenants. It would seem at the moment COGG is hell bent on going to court, with the attached fees, on the vexatious trivialities of these fantasies. One would hope reason will prevail. Many people are involved, but no discussion with covenanted title holders has yet occurred, needed above all at home with everyone in Ocean Grove. Graeme Tribe and Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Netball lockout Dear Editor, Please can someone help me understand why the netball courts in Shell Road are continually locked to the public. It was a lovely morning last Sunday and my daughters wanted to practice but the courts are locked all the time except when the club has games or are training. I have seen this covered by your newspaper before and assurances were given by the council that soon they would be open to the public. Word on the street is that the netball club have made sure via their own City of Greater Geelong (COGG) contact that the gates will never be opened to the public. It is very sad to see public sporting arenas like this shutting out the public when there has been absolutely no sign of skateboarders wanting to use the courts. There is a perfectly good skate park moments away so why would they; this is a red herring to keep the courts all to themselves and I think it is completely wrong. No other courts in the COGG region are locked. I also heard in the high street of Ocean Grove last month that the netball club changed the locks to prevent the soccer club from retrieving their

balls during games, that is pretty low and I think something needs to be done, and before the summer. K Jabowski Ocean Grove

Fencing does not fix storm drains Dear Editor, I totally agree with Peter Cowden’s (“Nail, head, drain issue”, August 6) and Judy Bracken’s (“The quicksand issue”, July 30) letters about the storm drains on the Portarlington foreshore. They are a disgrace. During and after each northerly gale not only does the tide force seawater up the drains causing flooding of the road but rubbish is allowed to accumulate in these drains, and during the summer months they are allowed to become so offensive that the odour drifts over the whole area. Last summer, I was unable to take even the dog to an area around a storm drain during low tide because both myself and the dog sank into 25 centimetres of black, gooey, odious muck. In fact there is only one clean drain along the length of The Esplanade from Simson Street to Grassy Point and that is a creek coming from the dams behind Ann Nichol House. Bellarine Bayside refuses to acknowledge this and has fenced it regardless. If Bellarine Bayside were not so obsessed with fencing – see photo, no less than three fences around the drain, metal, post and rail and now four strand wire so that people cannot leave that area of beach – they would have more funds to actually deal with the problem drains. Perhaps a constructive discussion with City of Greater Geelong might produce an outcome instead of duck shoving it to each other. Jane Morgan Portarlington

Zen simplicity and elegance embodies Sophie WIlliams’ Enso Interior Concepts.

Enso Interior Concepts brings service and style to the Surf Coast COSMOPOLITAN is probably one of the best words to describe the Surf Coast’s newest property stylist Sophie Williams. While growing up in Paris, Sophie was exposed to the height of European taste and style. She studied fashion in Paris, then fine art in Montreal Canada, and has gained an extensive knowledge of high-end European textile houses through running quality furniture boutiques, including the highly successful insideout stores in Newcastle and Geelong. Yet it is the influence of Zen simplicity and elegance that embodies her new business, Enso Interior Concepts. Enso is the Zen circle – symbolising simplicity, enlightenment and elegance. “Life is so busy today, I think that you should go on the principle of less is more in your home, so your mind can focus on what’s important,” Sophie said. “If you have too many things around, it’s not so easy to relax. “You should have space in your home and follow the principle of quality, rather than quantity.” Sophie has already made a name for herself in Geelong in boutique goods and property styling through her former retail outlet

insideout in Shannon Avenue. The business started out with a retail focus, but, over time, interior design took centre stage – taking up about 80 per cent of Sophie’s time – with strong customer demand for Sophie’s design flair. This led to a business makeover and the creation of Enso Interior Concepts and sister company The 2 Blind Girls – a complementary window furnishing business that Sophie runs in partnership with Sue Kos. “We are really excited about the new venture and we would like to thank our customers for their ongoing support,” Sophie said. “insideout is still online, with a great selection of products and a very good pricing structure, particularly now that we don’t have the shop front overheads.” Sophie’s husband Chris continues to run the newly refurbished main store in Newcastle and the business’s website. “A key feature of both our new businesses is that we come to the clients,” Sophie said. “After all, our business is about their home.

“We want to focus on personalised care that responds to individual budgets and visions, offers flexible hours – including after hours and weekend visits – and we bring everything with us.” Sophie brings her fully fitted van to the client’s premises, where she can showcase a fabulous range of fabrics, flooring, wallpaper samples and furniture catalogues on site. She also has catalogues and samples of paint colours, wall panels and finishes of furniture materials, kitchen benches, splashbacks and cabinetry. According to Sophie, the other crucial element in successful interior design is communication. Warmth and a sense of fun help her to establish rapport and communicate clearly with clients. “I need to be able to visualise their needs and desires, and then turn these into reality.” Shopping trips to Melbourne – which are becoming very popular with clients – are testament to this rapport. Sophie loves to share her inside knowledge of the best wholesale suppliers, which offer the latest in unique furniture, homeware and interior products at extremely good prices!

Enso Interior Concepts offers a range of other services, including project management for home renovation, pre-sale styling, colour consultations, furniture sourcing, de-cluttering, window furnishing, custom upholstery and cushions.

Vision checks critical to preventing falls VISUAL impairment can significantly increase the risk of falls in older Australians, a leading cause for hospital admissions among our aged population. However, OPSM Waurn Ponds optometrist Rowan Prendergast said fall related injuries can sometimes be avoided by early detection of eye disease through regular eye examinations. Up to 75 per cent of older people who suffer falls as a result of poor vision have a visual impairment which is easily correctable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regular eye examinations provide the best chance of maintaining your wellbeing and independence longer,â&#x20AC;? Mr Prendergast said. Even the slightest change in vision can seriously impact on quality of life. Increased rates of eye disease among older Australians cause vision problems that may contribute to falls, injuries and fractures. Problems include reduced visual clarity, narrower visual field, reduced sensitivity to contrast and poor perception of depth, which can affect our ability to spot hazards in our path or to judge the position of steps.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Older Australians should not accept poor vision as a way of life,â&#x20AC;? Mr Prendergast said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eye examinations attract a Medicare rebate and we recommend that our older patients have their eyes examined annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many older Australians are suffering simply because they do not wear spectacles, or use spectacles with prescriptions that are out of date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changes to eye health can be gradual, and serious conditions can progress without any obvious symptoms. With early detection, many eye diseases are treatable or preventable.â&#x20AC;? Eye checks can be booked online at opsm.com. au. OPSM Waurn Ponds now also proudly offers the optometric services of Carol Hinch, a Geelong local who has practiced here for more than ten years. She consulted for the well known independent practice Pettit and Mallett Optometrists until recently joining OPSM. For further information contact Rowan Prendergast, OPSM Waurn Ponds, 5243 9288 or rowan.prendergast@opsm.com.au.

Rowan and Colin from OPSM Waurn Ponds.

Tips to prevent falls â&#x20AC;˘ Have regular eye examinations with an optometrist, to detect or monitor any eye problems and make sure your spectacle or lens prescription is up to date â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid leaving obstacles lying around the home, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush and always ensure adequate lighting â&#x20AC;˘ Maintain an active and healthy lifestyle through

regular exercise, good nutrition and regular physical checkups â&#x20AC;˘ Talk to your friends, family and local optometrist about any concerns you have with your vision or mobility If you notice any changes or reduction in your vision, consult your optometrist immediately.

Innovative therapy now on Surf Coast SURF Coast, Bellarine and Geelong residents no longer have to travel to Melbourne for hyperbaric treatment with the Geelong and Surf Coast Hyperbaric and Bowen Therapy recently opening in Torquay. Hyperbaric therapy involves using a mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber to put oxygen into muscle tissues that don’t have enough so these tissues don’t die, or so they can heal. “Hyperbaric therapy speeds up the healing and recovery process and can assist in the repair and healing of a number of health issues,” Geelong and Surf Coast Hyperbaric and Bowen Therapy owner Sheri Gross said.

Those health issues can include post surgery recovery, broken bones, autism, brain injuries, stroke victims, ulcers and wounds including sea ulcers, muscle damage and more. “Because it has an effect on almost every cell in the body it can help you get back to where you were before injury and help recover body balance,” she said. The practice also offers Bowen therapy which Ms Gross said goes hand in hand with hyperbaric therapy treatment. Bowen treatments are usually seven days apart, each session generally lasts from five to 45 minutes and

most people only need one to three treatments. Treatment aims to re-align and balance the body through using gentle but purposeful moves and is effective for most conditions and all ages. For more information or to make an appointment contact Sheri at on 0438 030 138 or email info@geelongsurfcoasthyperbaric. com.au. Geelong and Surf Coast Hyperbaric and Bowen Therapy’s Sheri Gross performs gentle and effective Bowen treatment on a patient at the new practice in Torquay.

Step out for those with Parkinson’s BY ALI DEANE THE annual Walk in the Park for Parkinson’s Victoria is just around the corner, with over 2,500 friends, family, supporters and people living with Parkinson’s expected to get together to make a difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s this Sunday. Beginning at Federation Square, walkers will stroll four kilometres along the Yarra River to help raise funds for Parkinson’s Victoria. It is hoped that $150,000 can be raised.

A Walk in the Park, Parkinson’s Victoria’s biggest fundraising event, has become an annual event since 2009 and has gone from strength to strength each year. More than 27,000 Victorians and approximately 80,000 Australians are living with Parkinson’s right now, with numbers increasing by four per cent every year. For those diagnosed there is currently no cure. The walk has a symbolic meaning as Parkinson’s is a movement disorder and

walking, while often challenging for some, supports the goal of staying fit, healthy and active. Whether walkers raise $50, $500 or $5,000, every dollar raised will make a difference; 50 per cent will go towards research into this debilitating disease and the other 50 per cent will fund support services for people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers. Parkinson’s Victoria ambassador Shane Jacobson said the event is a simple way to help raise much needed funds for Parkinson’s Victoria.

“It really is A Walk in the Park to make a difference in someone’s life,” Jacobson said. Parkinson’s Victoria ambassador Paul Roos said by being a part of this family event, you are supporting people living with Parkinson’s their families and carers. “Get on board today and make a difference.” Former chief executive officer at the Surf Coast Shire Peter Bollen lives with Parkinson’s and is attending the event.

Parkinson’s Victoria’s A Walk in the Park is a fun way to show your support and dogs are welcome. The walk begins at 11am at Federation Square, corner of Swanston and Flinders streets, Melbourne, August 25. Registrations ($30) can be made on the day from 8.30am. Children, senior, healthcare card holder prices are also available, children under five are free and dogs $7 (includes doggie bandana). To register to walk and fundraise go to parkinsonswalk.com.au.

Are you suffering from an injury or have had recent surgery? Geelong Surf Coast Hyperbaric and Bowen Therapy can help you on your road to recovery. Why use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber? The mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber will put oxygen into tissues to stop the tissues from dying while increasing the rate of the healing and recovery process and reducing swelling and inflammation. The hyperbaric chamber is dual so 2 people can use it at the same time and is suitable for children and adults. Some reasons for mild hyperbaric therapy may include: t .64$-& %"."(& t "65*4. t 1045 463(&3: 3&$07&3: t 4530,& 7*$5*.4 t #3"*/ */+63*&4 t +&5 -"( t #30,&/ #0/&4 t "/5* "(&*/( t 6-$&34 "/% 806/%4 */$-6%*/( 4&" 6-$&34

RACV wants federal regional roads commitment THE RACV has re-iterated its call for candidates at this year’s federal election to commit to funding major road improvements across Victoria. RACV manager of roads and traffic Dave Jones said the Demand Better Roads campaign had identified the need to improve road safety and for highway duplications in regional Victoria. “Our two million members want action to improve the safety of regional Victoria’s roads,” Mr Jones said. “RACV is calling on all candidates at this election to commit to upgrading our busiest rural routes – the national highways – to a minimum of the three safety star standard (out of five) set by the Australian Road Assessment Program by eradicating unsafe sections of road. “The Safer Roads Investment Plan, developed by RACV, would cost $470 million to implement and could prevent 2,700 deaths or serious injuries on regional roads over 20 years.” Mr Jones said in addition to the safety upgrades on the national highway network across the state, the RACV also wanted to see duplication of busy stretches of the Princes Highway East between Traralgon and Sale, Princes Highway West between Geelong and Colac and Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell, completed. “These duplications are essential for improving

safety and travel along these very busy highways,” Mr Jones said. “Communities along these highways have told RACV they support the duplication projects, as the volume of traffic is growing and residents want safer roads, while businesses tell us that these duplications would help bolster the regional economy.” Mr Jones said RACV believed sufficient funding could be accessed by the next federal government to proceed with these projects and other essential improvements needed in metropolitan Melbourne. “Victoria’s infrastructure is falling further and further behind due to short term funding arrangements tied to yearly budgets and the electoral cycle,” Mr Jones said. Mr Jones said these regional projects and reforms to infrastructure funding formed a key part of RACV’s federal election campaign, and he urged all Victorians to make sure their voice was heard this election. “RACV is urging all Victorians to put improved transport infrastructure on the agenda at this year’s federal election by signing our petition at demandbetterroads.com.au/petition or in person at any RACV outlet,” Mr Jones said. The RACV wants candidates at this year’s federal election to commit to funding major road improvements across Victoria.

Safety needs higher priority for young drivers 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.

SAFER cars should take a higher priority when buying a vehicle for young drivers and allocating car use within families, according to University of Adelaide automotive safety researchers. A report by the University’s Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) released recently says the safety level of a young driver’s vehicle typically is not the first priority of the driver or their parents – but perhaps should be. “A concern that families might sometimes have is that the teenager might damage the family’s primary car, and the cost of repairs and higher excesses become an issue,” report author associate professor Robert Anderson, CASR deputy director, said. “But perhaps families could be persuaded to consider whether the main priority ought to be the teenager’s safety.” CASR looked at the relationship between driver age and access to safer vehicle technology

like electronic stability control (ESC), reviewed research about vehicle choice for young people, and surveyed young drivers and their parents about car choice, knowledge about safety and the influence of car insurance on their decisions. They found that the majority of the cars driven by under-25s were worth less than $5,000 and the average vehicle age was 12-13 years. Very few vehicles driven by younger drivers have ESC. “These older and less expensive cars lag behind those driven by more mature drivers in terms of the level of safety technology,” associate professor Anderson said. “Because technologies are introduced gradually, the deficits of young drivers’ vehicles persist for a long time. Unfortunately, this shows up in the crash statistics for young people.” Associate professor Anderson said that there may be benefits in changing family thinking about which

cars in the household the teenagers drive. “Giving young people primary access to a vehicle is known to have negative impacts on their safety, possibly as much as doubling their crash risk. “This is both because of increased car use and a greater likelihood of risky behaviour.” Promoting shared access to cars, he said, means young people will more often drive cars with better safety technologies, and is likely to reduce the incidence of risky behaviour. The research findings also showed that accelerating the introduction of new safety technology in new cars would be an effective way of improving the average safety of young drivers’ cars in the longer term. The report, Access to safer vehicle technologies by young drivers: factors affecting motor vehicle choice and effects on crashes, was sponsored by the Department of Infrastructure and Transport on behalf of the former National Road Safety Council.

Ambassadors appointed for health project BY JAMES TAYLOR A UNIQUE project for the Geelong region will provide life changing opportunities for young people with a disability. Last month, more than 100 people gathered at Barwon Youth for the launch of the Ambassador Project, a 12-month initiative delivered by the youth services provider and funded by the Department of Human Services (DHS). A group of ambassadors have been supported to develop and present their inspirational life stories, including the highs and lows of their journey. To date, 11 people have been recruited and trained by Barwon Youth for the project. All are either young people with a disability or parents of young people with a disability. Young ambassador Mat Dean said having a disability should not stop anyone from chasing their dreams. “I want to let people know that if there’s a big brick wall in front of them, there’s always anoth-

er option. With practice and dedication, you can achieve your dreams.” Barwon Youth chief executive officer John Townsend hoped that projects like this would continue to receive support due to the strong message it delivered to the community. “This project not only promotes inclusiveness and increases community awareness, it has the capacity to challenge societal perceptions.” Feedback from attendees at a recent expo was overwhelmingly positive, with one parent stating: “Listening to these young people has been lifechanging – I now have hope for my daughter, I really needed to hear this.” A DHS caseworker reported: “I have been working in the disability sector for more than 19 years and I could never get up and speak with the knowledge and confidence that these ambassadors have displayed this evening.” For more phone ambassador project worker Lorraine Bennett on 5221 4466 or email lorraine. bennett@barwonyouth.org.au.

Confess littering wrongs on twitter BY JAMES TAYLOR

One of the posters already produced for the Keep Australia Beautiful campaign.

KEEP Australia Beautiful Week began yesterday with a social media campaign urging people to Write your Wrong as part of a new Littering Is Wrong Too initiative. The campaign’s light hearted approach links littering with wrongdoing, while giving participants the chance to win $500 a week over the next five weeks.

Keep Australia Beautiful Week campaign manager Lara Shannon said that out of all of the environmental issues, litter was the one problem all people could take personal action on to make an immediate difference. “Reducing litter is not just about making our public places look better. It helps protect wildlife, reduce public health and safety issues and has a financial impact. The Australian tourism industry for example will soon

be nudging $100 billion per annum and reports show that tourists rank a clean and litter free environment as equally important as a safe and economic holiday destination. “So, by engaging people in a fun way with this campaign, we hope to reinforce the message that littering is totally unacceptable and just plain wrong.” The competition asking people to enter their funny, tacky, or silly

“wrong” began on Monday last week. The most original, quirkiest, humorous entry selected each week over five weeks will receive the $500 prize and be featured in future Keep Australia Beautiful publicity campaigns. The results of the annual National Litter Index will also be released this week. Head to facebook.com/ keepaustraliabeautiful for more information.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER WHEN Bob Evans hit the airwaves in a big way in 2006 not many people knew who he was, but he certainly had a familiar voice. It wasn’t long until he was outed as the alter-ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell and four successful albums, an ARIA award and lashings of critical acclaim later he is officially a standalone success. The “Don’t You Think It’s Time”, “Don’t Wanna Grow Up Anymore”, and “Nowhere Without You” singer is heading to Torquay on Friday night to perform the biggest hits and his favourite tracks from his career as Bob Evans. When Jebediah went on hiatus in 2005, Mitchell had been touring nonstop for 10 years. With the need to continue writing and performing fuelling him on alongside a self-confessed lack of skills for other forms of employment he created Bob Evans. “I feel useless if I don’t have a full schedule of shows lined up and I still love that feeling of dread and excitement when performing live. “If I’m not working I would have to go and apply for another job and I’ve got no skills – I actually think I’m completely unemployable,” Mitchell laughed. “I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been able to do this as a full time job for 15 years with the small amount of talent that I do have. “I feel like a testament to people everywhere who make up for what they don’t have with sheer enthusiasm

and determination.” Inspired by the experience of witnessing two of life’s most moving events in the recent death of loved one and the birth of his first child, Mitchell wrote his latest Bob Evans album Familiar Stranger which was released earlier this year. “It’s a life and death album, it revolves around those two themes and I wanted to create my own soundtrack. “It starts with loss and death and ends with new beginnings and birth, that’s the way my life was bookmarked through the two or three years I was writing. “I wasn’t setting out to come up with any grand answers but just explore the ideas of these experiences and how they affect everyone.” Known as a deeply personal lyricist, Mitchell said Evans sometimes acts as a mask that allows him to be braver and more open in his storytelling. “It’s a little bit scary but also part of the thrill, with Bob Evans I felt I was taking more of a risk by revealing more of myself. “You’re taking this risk and it goes against your nature but you do it because you get a real kick out of it. “Having said that, I have to keep some things to myself that only my wife and those close to me know about otherwise I’d probably have some sort of existential crisis.” Kevin Mitchell will be performing as Bob Evans at the Torquay Hotel on August 23 as part of his regional Welcome Stranger tour. Tickets are $23.50 including booking fee and can be purchased at oztix.com.au.

Bob Evans, indie darling and alter-ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell is set to show why he is one of Australia’s most enduring touring musicians at the Torquay Hotel on Friday night.

Locals Will their way to fame BY TIFFANY PILCHER SURF Coast musician Will Gardiner is gearing up to release his first single and he’s bringing some local musicians and friends along for the ride. Gardiner, better known as Famous Will, has added his younger brother Liam Brennan and Conor Walkeden on drums to complete the band. “This is the first time I’ve been writing and performing as a full band outfit and we’re using Famous

Will as an umbrella name for us all now” Gardiner said. “It’s just a better environment working as part of a group, I’ve written with Liam before and worked a little with Conor, it’s been a big change but it’s also been really great and easy.” Their first single, “My Scars” will be released next month and they’ve just wrapped up filming the music clip with a host of other Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula musicians. “It’s a great foot tapping song, we shot the clip on a Prahran rooftop

and it was one of the best nights I’ve had working in music. “A lot of local acts feature in the clip, RDZJB, Diamonds Emcee, Craig and Georgina Sayer and Alister Turrill all play a big part. “It’s a tight knit music community out here and it’s great to be able to promote each other – you can’t go wrong with Surf Coast musicians, they’re all so talented,” he said. Keep an eye on youtube.com/ famouswillgardiner for the “My Scars” single and film clip to be released soon.

Bookgrove has Scarlett fever BY TIFFANY PILCHER NOTORIOUSLY private Geelong Cats legend Matthew Scarlett is finally ready to let the public into his private and professional life with the release of his end of career memoir, Hold the Line. Legendary Geelong Cat’s fullback Matthew Scarlett is appearing at Bookgrove on Friday to sign copies of his tell all, no-holds-barred memoir Hold the Line.

Local fans can not only get a glimpse behind the scenes of the high flying fullback’s stellar career, they can also meet him in person at a special book signing appearance at Bookgrove this Friday. Known as a man of few words, in Hold the Line, Scarlett gives us the inside run of what went into making the Cats unbeatable, shares his views on his teammates and coaches and dishes the dirt on Geelong’s recent rivalry with the St Kilda Football Club.

The rivalry peaked in 2009 when the Cats beat St Kilda in the Grand Final. They came from seven points down at three-quarter time to win by two goals. One of the most popular and longstanding players in the history of the club, Scarlett is an old fashioned type of footballer. He is a one club man whose hard work and commitment on the footy field is legendary, and whose passion for winning has proven strong enough to galvanise a whole club.

Throughout his 15-year career, Scarlett’s talent as an instinctive player and a natural strategist saw him play key roles in Geelong’s three premiership victories of 2007, 2009 and 2011. For your chance to meet the footy phenomenon in person and have your copy of Hold the Line signed, head to Bookgrove, 1/73 The Terrace on August 23 at 3.30pm.

Sip into Geelong’s premier wine event BY TIFFANY PILCHER FOR the first time ever, the public will have direct access to top winemakers from all over Australia and New Zealand at the Red+White and Mezzanine Sip event next month. For years, hundreds of industry insiders have enjoyed tastings and discussions with some of the best winemakers in the world at the Geelong trade show. Red+White and Mezzanine area manager Terry Goldworthy said he was thrilled everyone from wine connoisseurs to those who are just testing the waters can now enjoy the event. “The event has grown bigger and bigger each year but so many people were missing out because it was only open to those in the industry. “We thought, why not give people a wine glass and a catalogue and let them taste all the wines

they’ve been curious about when they walk through the bottle shop aisles. “There really will be something for everyone, people can speak directly to the winemakers, get a first hand taste of the different wines from a huge range of regions and hopefully walk away with a better appreciation of wine in general.” Sip will be held on September 2 from 6pm to 9pm at The Pier, 10 Western Beach Foreshore Road, Geelong. Entry is $35 including a glass to take home and there is the option to join the Plumm Wine Glass Experience at 7pm for $50. The Plumm Wine Glass Experience includes four different glasses to take home and tastings information on the correct wines for each glass. Tickets can be purchased online at bit.ly/11qwmAQ or by contacting Jodi Mitchell on 8413 8335.

G R A P E V I N E BROUGHT TO YOU BY

JON HELMER

“Wynners” are grinners RECENTLY, I attended the Wynns Coonawarra Estate “Wynnsday 2013 Releases” master class featuring some very special wines from their portfolio. Let’s just say it had been awhile between drinks for me and these Wynns days and I was keen to see where they were at and check out the much-hyped 2010 “Icon” wines. Yes, I’ll put my hand up and say that my interest had waned over the years as the wines had seemed over the top, too tricked up and overly commercial, yet as it turned out, I came away with a new appreciation for their wines, their vision, and the hard work and analysis that’s gone into the current crop of wines. Their history is an important chapter in Australian winemaking and their future participation even more so. I haven’t featured the 2011 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon here which is a pity as it is an incredible and important achievement by the winemaking team at Wynns in a very challenging vintage to produce a wine that can hold its head high and continue the series without breaking vintage – a plus for fans and collectors too, but space won’t allow it. The following wines were definitely the standouts.

2012 Wynns Estate Coonawarra Shiraz ($20) I’ve always had a soft spot for this wine over the years as it’s ebbed and flowed through different vintages etcetera. However, this is without doubt the best I’ve seen since my first experience of it with the 1991 vintage back in the early nineties. From the first whiff of bright, vibrant black fruits, florals and spice on the nose, I knew this was going to be special. Structurally it’s spot on with fantastic texture, balance of dark fruit flavours, lovely tannins, and medium palate weight. This is the wine that you buy a case of to drink, and another case to cellar. Simply stellar value!

2010 Wynns Estate Coonawarra “Michael” Shiraz ($120) Very dark and deep in colour, with floral spicy dark fruits yet more importantly it retains a welcome air of elegance and intrigue. The palate is seamless and the texture and style is profoundly Coonawarra with true to type deep dark fruits and complex spice. The mouth-feel is extraordinary, as one would expect as the vision for this wine is that it be seen as the pinnacle statement and expression of Coonawarra Shiraz, and that it does, in spades!

2010 Wynns Estate Coonawarra “John Riddoch” Cabernet Sauvignon ($120) Wow, what a wine. The colour is very dark, but importantly again, it’s not about the volumes of density or fruit weight, but rather more preferably about structure, elegance and superb tannin definition that is the crux of this wine and the vintage. Everything about this wine is superlative – from its beautiful, seamless pure fruit qualities to the amazing structure, balance, elegance, concentration and intensity, it’s all there. This is a supremely confident and definitive example of the variety, the winery and the region. Even our MC for the day, Jeremy Oliver, was glowing in his praise, seeing this wine in his opinion as “the successor to the great 1982 vintage”, no light statement I can tell you.

2012 Wynns Estate Coonawarra “Sidings” Cabernet Sauvignon ($20) An entry level Coonawarra Cab-Sauv style brimming with fresh crushed berries, typical of the intensity and vibrancy that is the 2012 vintage. Bright, lustrous and surprisingly dark in colour with pure, even blackcurrant and mulberry fruits to the fore and a softness and rounded easiness suggesting drink now approachability. Red+White and Mezzanine Sip event organiser Terry “Goldie” Goldsworth, Cape Barren winemaker Bob Dundon and Andrew Routley from the Torquay Hotel at a recent wine event at the hotel’s Bells Bar.

The detail is in Mose’s drawings BY ALI DEANE WHEN do we lose the magic of our childhood imagination, and where does it go? That is a question Jan Juc artist Tina Mose often asks, and she is hoping others can embrace their inner child and let go of their worries with her exhibition at Bird Rock Café, over the next month. Originally from Scandinavia, Ms Mose relocated for her final year of art school, found herself in Jan Juc on a summer break, and has never looked back. Fifteen pieces make up Illustrations and Paintings by Tina Mose, her first exhibition, and you can expect delicate and complex detail, plenty of patterns, and playful characters adorning the art wall of Bird Rock. “I am inspired by kids and how their imagination works. For example you can draw a green line and a child will see a mermaid’s tail. “I am often wondering when we as adults lost that imagination. “My art explores such imagination and includes my ideas and interpretations of childhood memories.” Mose finds inspiration in the simplistic, rather than the chaotic. Canvases, paper, pens and watercolours are her preferred media, and her style has always been playful, illustrative and intuitive. Mose hopes to move further into children’s illustrations in the future.

“I decided to give it a shot, so here I am. “I’ve got some good feedback so far and people say they love it. It is hard to explain, but I like it, so I hope others like it.” The exhibition opens to the public with a small reception August 23 from 5pm at Bird Rock Café, 1 Stuart Avenue, Jan Juc and will run for six weeks. Head to tinamose.wordpress.com for more.

BY ALI DEANE

Cheers to super early bird tickets

LOCAL Ketchup is back at Barwon Heads Hotel this Saturday night and punters can look forward to yet another awesome lineup of top tier local bands. Surf Coast rockers Thievingbyrds, Two Coloured Koi, Space Truckers and talented youngsters Where’s Joss grace the bill, and there’s the much loved Bellarine Pie Eating Competition, all going down in the main room, from 9.30pm. This edition of the Local Ketchup will be another to be remembered. If you haven’t heard headliners Thievingbyrds live – it’s about time. You’d be hard pressed to see more energy go into a live set. Taking inspiration from Hendrix, Neil Young, The Beatles, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam and the Black Crowes, don’t be surprised if you find yourself rocking out with them before nights’ end. If you dig Mumford and Sons, Paul Simon or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, then you’ll love Two Coloured Koi. Geelong youngsters on the rise Where’s Joss creatively blend classic, funky and modern rock, home to a sound similar to the Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd and The Black Keys. And Space Truckers – Greg Southall, Andy Vickers and Adam Parsons – are musical interpreters of classic rock songs and deliver tributes and all the favourites from the front of the stage. Music man Dave Dorman who handpicked the lineup said the series, launched by Luke Hills last September, simply worked. “It’s a great concept, and usually we get over a couple of hundred people. Barwon Heads Hotel, as a music venue, works so well. It’s incredible, the quality of music out there locally is fantastic, there’s none you don’t want to listen to. Without giving much away, there’s a lot more to look forward to with a fairly comprehensive program planned for summer,” Dorman said. Doors open for Local Ketchup at Barwon Heads Hotel at 9.30pm, entry $10.

SIGNATURE local event Toast to the Coast has 500 super early birds tickets on sale until August 31 or until sold out. The early bird tickets cost $25, offering a $15 dollar saving from their regular price of $40. Toast to the Coast celebrates the Geelong Wine region’s premium wines, fabulous local produce and talented entertainers. Across the Bellarine, Moorabool Valley and Surf Coast, wineries pull out all stops to showcase the Geelong winery experience in a weekend of sensational wine, food, music and fun. Toast to the Coast is one of the biggest events of the year for the Geelong region as it attracts thousands of wine lovers, locals and tourists alike. Geelong Winegrowers Association president Steven Paul said Geelong wines are firmly established among the best in Australia. “The consistently high ratings in the James Halliday Wine Companion cement Geelong’s status as an iconic Australian wine region and are a testament to the skilled winemakers and exceptional calibre of grapes and wines of the Geelong region.” Tickets can be purchased via GPAC gpac. org.au. Event information, touring maps and shuttle bus details are available at toasttothecoast.com.au. This year Toast to the Coast celebrates its 12th anniversary. It is held over the Melbourne Cup weekend, November 2-3.

The Snakadaktal kids are alright BY TIFFANY PILCHER THOUGH Snakadaktal is doing a good job of hiding their age through their tight and polished tunes, the fact remains that all of the band’s prematurely talented members are yet to hit 21 years of age. Named for a half-snake, half-pterodactyl creature vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Sean Heathcliff drew in high school, Snakadaktal’s youth has been more of a help than a hindrance in their rise to prominence. After winning Triple J Unearthed High in 2011, their self-produced EP reached number 26 on the ARIA digital charts. In the same year, two singles from that EP, “Chimera” and “Air” went into high rotation on triple J, with “Air” claiming the number 22 spot in the Hottest 100. Straight off the back of their debut LP Sleep In The Water release this month Snakataktal are hitting the road for a nationwide tour including a stop in Geelong this Friday. The Sleep in the Water LP was produced by Evermore’s Dann Hume who has perfectly highlighted the band’s wistfulness as they return singing strange, beautiful ballads about finding love at the bottom of the ocean. “Lyrically and sonically, it is about our emotional and physical connection to water. “It’s a world that helps us to express what we’re feeling,” said vocalist Phoebe Cockburn. “This is a record about moments and emotion. “We all find different meanings in the words, so we write to leave space to connect with listeners.” Snakataktal are taking the stage in Geelong at The Wool Exchange on Friday August 23. Tickets are $23.50 including booking fee and are available from oztix.com.au. Whimsical indie pop youngsters Snakadaktal are hitting The Wool Exchange in Geelong on Friday to show youth knows no bounds.

I BLAME it all on my neighbour who introduced me to my latest addiction. This is a sensory sensation that does involve the exotics – woolly four-legged creatures and a healthy component of fruit – pears! Have I got you intrigued (or confused) yet? I’m talking about my newfound rave item – “sheep’s milk coconut yoghurt”. Do not get the order of these words mixed up! First comes the sheep’s’ milk which does in fact contain five times the calcium of cows’ milk. The Greek style natural yoghurt made by Bruce and Elizabeth Cumming down near Dunkeld is an absolute dream of smoothness, flavour – and it’s an addiction you can safely declare as being good for you! Whilst this product is available in some local delicatessens you do need to seek it out. To feed my addiction I’ve been playing around in the kitchen and want to share with you a passable substitute. I combined 100 grams Greek style natural yoghurt with 25 grams coconut cream powder, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, four tablespoons of coconut cream and a teaspoon of caster sugar. I may as well have just come down in the last welcome shower, as I have never thought of combing yoghurt with coconut! It is simply divine and pairs so well with my poached spiced pears for a wonderfully addictive

dessert! For extra texture you could add a little desiccated coconut to the yoghurt, or sprinkle lightly toasted shredded coconut as a garnish to the pears. Peel and poach pears in a light sugar syrup, to which you have added five or six whole cardamom pods, a dessert spoon of cracked pepper and a vanilla bean. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthways with a small sharp knife and use the tip of the knife to scrape the tiny black seeds into the syrup. Put the bean pod in as well, and poach gently until the pears are tender. Allow to cool, and in fact store the pears in this liquid. The other recent find in our household is coconut milk yoghurt – again a bit of an addiction. Thankfully you only need small amounts of this really luscious yoghurt on top of a bowl of fresh fruits for breakfast, as it is relatively expensive. Available in health food shops it is the perfect alternative for anyone with diary intolerances. We had been trialling a diet in which no dairy foods were allowed – hence the discovery of coconut milk yoghurt as a substitute. It’s is always fun to find a new product or ingredient to play with in the kitchen and many times this results in a one-time only appearance at the table. But with my new found addiction, I will be surely seeking out this 200ml tub of lusciousness on a very regular basis.

mind matters

Tuesday 20 August 2013

Capricorns thrive on being self-sufficient and in control but, with Venus visiting your career zone until September 11 teamwork and consultation will get you where you want to go. Look for a person you can collaborate with, on a project that is close to your heart. And don’t be too proud to ask for assistance when you need it, others will be happy to lend a helping hand.

Many Rams are feeling mighty feisty, and in the mood to fight back. But this week’s impulsive aspects could land you in a heap of hot water, so resist the temptation to be rebellious and antagonise authority figures. Perhaps a more subtle approach is the smarter way to go? Slow down and think things through, before you say or do something that you later regret.

A work situation or professional relationship is likely to veer off in a totally unexpected direction, so keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed and try to relax. If you sweat the small stuff, it will be a long and exhausting week. Jupiter encourages you to step back and take a broader perspective. Sunday suits all forms of communication, but avoid being a snappy Crab.

Mars and Jupiter are charging through your career zone, so dynamic and decisive action is what’s needed at work. If you dither around in typical Libran fashion then lucrative opportunities and important connections will pass you by. If you are looking for employment, you need to be uncharacteristically proactive as you search out jobs before they are advertised.

The full moon lights up your brilliant career zone for the second time in the last month. But are you making the most of the opportunities that are around? Don’t be a bashful Bull, show others what you are capable of. Things become intense on Saturday, as you worry about a close relationship. The more possessive you are, the more difficult the day will be.

Expect a fabulously frantic week, as the full moon fires up your relationship zone and loved ones demand more of your time, energy and undivided attention. Plus Mercury hooks up with the sun on Sunday, which increases your Cat curiosity and your tendency to gossip and spill secrets. But is that a wise thing to do? Just remember Leo, loose lips sink ships!

With Saturn moving slowly through Scorpio, resist the temptation to be too hard on yourself and overly impressed by the outward trappings of material success. Strive to be as authentic as possible, true to your talents and core values. Be inspired by birthday great Coco Chanel “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”

The full moon’s in your sign plus Uranus squares Jupiter which will amplify your restless Aquarian nature. But too much chaos and haste could lead to an argument or accident, so pace yourself. When it comes to a money matter, are you being overconfident? Make sure financial plans are based on a realistic appraisal of the situation and the risks involved.

Is your cash flow erratic at the moment? With Mars and Jupiter jumping through your money zone, look for proactive solutions to financial problems. If you develop a second stream of income, then you’ll feel much more secure. Mercury moves through your family zone from August 24 until September 9 so it’s time to get talking – really talking – with a loved one.

You’re searching for stability but that’s the last thing you’ll get from loved ones this week. A goal or dream is also uncertain, as you strive to adapt to changing circumstances. Mercury visits Virgo from August 24 to September 9 which suits critical thinking; research work; facts and figures; plus practical projects. But don’t let minor details blind you to the bigger picture.

Jupiter squares Uranus mid-week, so be careful your spontaneous Sagittarian side doesn’t land you in unexpected trouble! Plus be extra patient when dealing with a willful child, teenager or friend. Clear communication sees you zoom ahead at work, as you find a captivating new audience for your creative ideas. The weekend is wonderful for sporting pursuits and outdoor activities.

A goal or aspiration has been put on hold but that’s OK. It gives you extra time to think things through and calibrate your plans. If you are still struggling for direction, look within for guidance and inspiration. When it comes to communicating important ideas, resist the urge to launch into long and obscure explanations. Strive to be more verbally precise Pisces!

TORQUAY MOWING & MAINTENANCE

Family friendly handyman BY HAMISH BROOKS TIM Leith is broadening his horizons. The experienced tradesman has been a concreter for 20 years, but the multi-skilled businessman has always wanted to expand his services and so this year began Torquay Mowing and Maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had it in the back of my mind to begin a garden maintenance business,â&#x20AC;? he said. He aims to service the Surf Coast, Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still do concreting if people need but also do decking, rubbish removal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fix anything and build anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can also offer advice on landscape design as well as taking care of clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; every landscaping and gardening need.

TRADES Âť

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lend a hand on anything.â&#x20AC;? Mr Leith, who will operate the business with his partner Michelle, promises family friendly, reliable, prompt and fair service. With three kids, Mr Leith knows what â&#x20AC;&#x153;family friendlyâ&#x20AC;? means. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also offer free quotes and pensioner discounts,â&#x20AC;? Mr Leith said. He is available 8am-5pm six days a week, and when daylight savings arrives and the garden blooms and the lawn goes berserk, Torquay Mowing and Maintenance will extend their hours. For a free quote on any maintenance, building or gardening job you want done around the house, email Tim torquaymowing.maintenance@hotmail.com or call him on 0425 029 874.

Finals time finally here BY ALI DEANE

It was a close contest between Torquay and Ocean Grove on Saturday night for the last game of the regular season. Torquay went down by 13 points to Ocean Grove 9.20 (74) to 13.9 (87). They meet again this weekend for the elimination final. Photo: PETER MARSHALL

NETBALL FINALS

QUEENSCLIFF, Geelong Amateur, Drysdale, Torquay and Ocean Grove have each booked themselves finals football berths, and looking back at the season, pundits could be calling it a one horse race. Queenscliff is automatically through to the semifinals, undefeated this season, and top of the ladder on a whopping 72 premiership points. The Coutas tasted their first victory in 36 years when they took down Geelong Amateur to win the premiership in 2011. Backing that up with the win over Torquay in the game of the season last year. Points won’t come in to play at the bounce for the semi-finals though, as Coutas playing coach Tom Limb knows. “Finishing on top, we’re in a good position. “But we’ve got a bit to do now finals are here. “We’ll prepare for our opponents, but until we know, we’ll be focusing on the next two weeks.” On the weekend Queenscliff defeated Modewarre 100-50, Geelong Amateur dominated Portarlington

222-22, Drysdale got a narrow win over Barwon Heads 115-110, Torquay went down to Ocean Grove 74-87 and Anglesea defeated Newcomb Power 102 to 47. For Barwon Heads, Modewarre, Anglesea, Newcomb Power and Portarlington the season has come to an end as they fill the lower half of the ladder. This weekend, fans can catch ladder second and third Geelong Amateur take on Drysdale in the qualifying final at Portarlington Recreation Reserve from 2.10pm on Saturday and Torquay face Ocean Grove on Sunday in the elimination, also at Portarlington. For BFL netballers, the 2013 season finished up on the weekend with Round 18, and Modewarre leading the race in top spot in A Grade with 64 points, Anglesea with 62, Torquay on 54 and Portarlington on 48, rounding out the top four for the finals. Modewarre will take on Anglesea for Semi Final 1 on Saturday and Torquay faces Portarlington at Portarlington Recreation Reserve on Sunday. The BFL Grand Final will take place on Saturday September 14. Head to footballgeelong.com.au for all your local football and netball information.

SURFBOARDS

Tuesday 20 August 2013

THE Anglesea River is firing at the moment with reports of up to a half a dozen snapper being caught within the river system itself. Recent council openings of the mouth combined with high seas and tides have allowed the snapper to enter the system. This has received even more verification by the Arthur Rylah Institute which in carrying out a survey of the river picked up on a large school of fish within the system, which were identified as a school of snapper. But due to the high rainfall occurring at the moment, the Surf Coast council is monitoring the river to try and ensure another event like the October 2010 flocculation of the whole river system does not occur again. However, the council itself has let down local residents by failing to remove the stone wall across the river mouth which it passed a motion to do over 12 months ago. Even though at a recent meeting the mayor reconfirmed that commitment to the business community, it is being delayed once again. Having tried once to remove the wall but failed, it seems the council will now have to find more money and possibly employ outside contractors to do the work they were incapable of doing in the first place It seems the determination and the pride shown by Surf Coast mayor Libby Coker to see this project through is not as strong as it was when she went to the electorate prior to the last council elections. It is up to our council to show leadership and ensure that the 2010 flocculation event and fish kill, which the independent October 2011 Anglesea River Water Quality Review by Professor William Maher found was likely caused by acidic tributary waters meeting neutral to alkaline waters discharged by Alcoa, does not happen again. They also need to ensure that if an event does take place, they at least open the river mouth to provide an escape route for the fish. We have seen how the system has started to come back with more frequent openings by the council. The last thing all of us want to see is snapper like that pictured floating belly up in the Anglesea River due to the wrong decisions being made!

Taekwondo hits Torquay BY ALI DEANE THE Korean martial art of Taekwondo is coming to Torquay, and it is all thanks to local black belt and Elite Taekwondo instructor Alistair Lawson. The new club, opening in October, will be an expansion of the Elite Taekwondo Australia group of North Geelong, who have been making their mark on the Taekwondo scene over the past

Sports in brief Torquay Bowls Club set for exciting year THE Torquay Bowls Club is gearing up for an exciting year, with the club redevelopment in full swing and the greens looking great after a mild winter. The season opening ceremony will be held at the Angling Club rooms at 6.30pm on August 30, and the first bowls of the season will be played the next day, August 31. Club chairman Des Bruhn said the bowlers greatly appreciated the support of the Angling Club in making its facilities available for the opening and to act as a base for pennant and tournament days while the clubhouse is out of action. “We have arranged for a marquee to cater for social bowls, but the bigger events are able to be held thanks to the Angling Club,” Des said. He also congratulated the members on their support of the extraordinary general meeting early this month, which saw 50 turn up and vote on a series on matters which needed to be addressed. “Many of those who came along were Twilighters. They are showing a greater interest in what we are doing, and this bodes well for our future,” Des said.

seven years, recently returning from the state championships with six gold, five silver and two bronze medals. The teams now prepare for the national championships in Queensland later in the year. Head instructor and fifth Dan black belt Manny, who has practised Taekwondo for over 40 years, is excited about the new branch and the expansion of the family orientated club to Torquay. “We love Taekwondo and the positive changes it can bring to people’s lives. Whether you are looking for self defence, fitness or a new challenge, our club offers a fantastic journey for everyone.” Lawson, who trains, coaches and competes in Taekwondo, and also runs Great Ocean Road

Surf Tours in Torquay, is looking forward to starting up a new role. Lawson won gold at the state sparring competition in May, and was a coach of the successful state title winners. “I have great memories about starting martial arts when I was young and the discipline it gave me has definitely been something that helps in all areas of your life. “I highly recommend it and can’t wait to start teaching in my own club. “The club will be great fun and have a positive impact on all I hope. I can’t wait!” To find out more about Elite Taekwondo Australia, visit elitetaekwondoaustralia.com.au or call Alistair for more details on Torquay’s club on 0422 353 723.

Saturday was the qualifying event for the Red Markers and the Nick O’Donohue trophy events

with a 4BBB Par. Again the weather closed in late in the afternoon and the early birds had the best of a pretty ordinary day. In the Red Markers the top 8 were to qualify but with only 8 pairs starting we can expect that to change. Best for the day were Jane Grutzner and Margaret McCarthy with 6 up. In the men’s event we had 37 starters and 34 finishes with the best being Uwe Morzinek and Mike Grossman who finished with 8 up. Colin Favre and Bob Stephens were runners up with 7 up and Tony Tobler and Chris Duffield were third with 5 up. The men scooped the NTPs; winners were Tom Scarborough, Brett Balloch, Chris Knight and Garry Beurteaux. Sunday was windy to start with and ended up wet and windy, so it was only a few brave, hardy souls that ventured out. Suellen Eskrigge won the ladies with a very respectable 3 down and Graeme Mills won the mens event with an even more respectable 1 up. On a day when only 14 started and 8 finished there were no balls down the line and only two NTPs for Ann Stokes and Suellen Eskrigge. Many members will have played in the annual CFA Hotshots Golf Day over the years and contributed to the CFA fund raising for their new station. The new Anglesea CFA Station was officially opened on Sunday afternoon and proved to be a much better place to be than out on the golf course! Enjoy your golf and lets hope the weather improves.

Monday the vets played and the winning score for the men was John R. McDonald with 25 points and for the ladies Mary Sweet came home with 17 points. NTP Graeme Monks. Tuesday the ladies played 4BBB and the team of Margaret Walsh and Lesley Grebe finished on top with a very good score of plus 7. NTPs Alita Dales, Angela Worthy, Joan Thomson and Ros Lewis. Wendy Poyner had an eagle on the 14th and Dee Matheson hit the jackpot. Wednesday a small field headed out onto the

course and yet an even smaller number actually finished their round in the worsening conditions. With plus 3 Ray Fitzgerald took the honors for A grade and Ken Munro had square to take out B grade. Andy Clark hit three NTPs and Peter Doak managed to get one off Andy. Ian Sandner hit the jackpot. Ian Foot took out the Friday mixed Stableford with 37 points. NTPs Warren Harris and Mark Thompson. Ed Featherston hit the jackpot 4BBB Stableford on Saturday for the men and finishing with a great score of 52 points to take out 1st place was Graham Jennings and Ian Chapple. Runners-up Bob Darby and Peter Orwin had 49 points. Sue Barnes had plus 1 to take out the ladies and for the seniors Leslie Grayling shot 34 points. NTPs Deb Shoesmith, Geoff Richmond, Greg Baeck, Trevor Carter, Ian Sweet, Bob Gough. Garry Fletcher hit the jackpot. Dave McPhail had an eagle on the 7th. Sunday 42 brave golfers went out to play in Sunday’s Stableford competition it was one of the windiest days we have had and yes they all finished a little windblown but never the less they finished and with plus 2 Ken Scott conquered all before him. NTPs Dave McPhail and David Rae. Tom Schofiled got the jackpot. Come and play 18 holes for only $20 (RACV Members) or $25 (Non-Members) after 12pm on Mondays and Fridays. Excludes Pub Hol. and Dec-Feb.

WITH the wild and wet weather many are taking a little holiday from the course waiting for the ground to dry out a little. So those still playing are to be commended for their determination and good quality wet weather gear!

MIDWEEK RESULTS Wednesday scared a few of the men off with only 20 starting their rounds and four finishing. It was meant to be medal day, but with so few playing it has probably been deferred. Meanwhile it was the diehard Tony Leeds winning the race of four with 3 down, followed not so closely by Sandy Talbot. Only one NTP was awarded and that went to Sandy. Thursday was the pick of the week with a sunny and not so windy morning. The ladies played stableford and the Division 1 and 2 players seemed to have the course mastered. Sue French won Division 1 with 36 points and Sue Bowler was runner up with 32 points. In Division 2 Helen Stewart won with 32 points on a countback from Brenda Balderstone, and in Division 3 we also had a countback with Lyn Webber winning from Lyn McVean on a score that won’t be published. NTP winners were Sue French, Noelene Dumbrell, Ann Stokes and Jan Stewart.

WEEKEND RESULTS

THE SANDS TORQUAY LADIES THURSDAY: Stableford was the event of the day played in very windy but sunny conditions, however, only nine players braved the elements. Judith Campbell-Stewart was the winner with 31 points from Linda Turner with 30 points. The NTP on the 7th went to Judith Campbell-Stewart and the 17th went to Linda Turner. Saturday Stableford: The winner was Gail Richards with 32 points from Betty Downey with 29 points. Sarah Tokolyi took out the NTP on the 7th.

The St Therese Primary School mixed netball team (pictured) walked over their competitors at a major competition in Geelong recently, winning all games convincingly, and ultimately the Grand Final 20 goals to 10. The 10 member mixed side, made up of two boys and eight girls coached by Debbie Ashleigh will now go to the state finals in Melbourne on September 13. If successful there, they will secure a spot in the Nationals to be played in Queensland later in the year. Well done to Catelyn Ashley, Emma Walters, Emma Quinn, Grace McVilly, Kate McNamara, Lexi Conway, Ella Richardson, Ruby Papworth, Clay Page and Callum McDermott. *The wrong caption ran with this photo last week.
