Council aims for fairer rates system in draft budget
GOING RATE
BY JAMES TAYLOR THE average rate rise for Surf Coast Shire properties has been kept to its lowest level in a decade as the council aims to produce a more equitable rates system in its draft 2014/15 budget. Last night, the council released the budget for public exhibition over the next 28 days. The average 4.75 per cent increase – compared to 5.9 per cent in 2013/14 – will see rates for residential, farm and vacant properties go up by 3.72 per cent, and commercial and industrial properties decrease by 7.2 per cent. Rates for tourism accommodation properties will jump by 64.35 per cent. Shire chief executive officer Stephen Wall said this shift would
bring the rate into line with rates for commercial premises. “If you’re treating your property as a commercial going concern, you’ll be treated as a commercial ratepayer.� Capital works spending has dropped by nearly $5 million to $15.9 million and includes big projects in all four wards, including $750,000 towards cell liners and other projects at the Anglesea landfill, $270,000 to upgrade the intersection of Murrell and Gosney streets in Winchelsea, $175,000 towards the next stage of widening Horseshoe Bend Road in Torquay, and $100,000 to fit out the Great Ocean Road Heritage Centre in Lorne. Surf Coast mayor Rose Hodge said the budget aimed to meet community needs, produce a fairer rate system and a fair distribution of projects and
services that met community needs. “This budget follows on from council’s long-term financial planning, which has allowed us to avoid rate spikes, deliver major community projects and maintain community services over a number of years. “This budget is prudent with ratepayer funds, cares for our communities and for our coastal and hinterland environments.� The shire’s underlying deficit will decrease from $8.2 million in 2013/14 to $2.2 million to the next financial year, and a small surplus is projected for 2015/16. There will be information sessions about the budget held in all four wards from next week. For more information or to read the draft budget, head to surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Anglesea Bowling Club grant ruled out BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Anglesea Bowling Club has been unsuccessful in its attempt to secure a $650,000 grant towards its $1.5 million redevelopment project. At last week’s council meeting, it was revealed the club’s request for the grant was not listed among the council’s priorities for the Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV) Community Facility Funding Program (CFFP) for 2015-16. Anglesea Bowling Club representative Keith Hornibrook expressed his disappointment during public question time, and also asked who would be
responsible for the building’s maintenance now the funds were not coming. Councillors resolved to submit four project proposals to the CFFP: the second oval for BanyulWarri Fields, the Five Townships Rural Social Recreation Project, the Anglesea Tennis Court upgrade and a soccer pitch, public toilet and change rooms at Anglesea Primary School. In the council’s summary of the expressions of interest to the CFFP, it notes “previous advice by staff at the Department of Planning and Community Development indicates that the (Anglesea Bowling Club) project is limited as it
does not specifically address increased participation rates in physical activity, which would strengthen the proposal”. “While there are good socialisation outcomes, the project makes a limited link to a re-developed building and participation rates.” Anglesea Ward councillor Libby Coker said she found it very disappointing that the council was not putting forward the club’s proposal, but the council had to advocate for the applications that were most likely to be successful. “While Anglesea Bowls Club has worked very closely with the council, politicians and community
groups, it is up against a range of other projects that are hard to beat.” Mr Hornibrook said the club had a number of pressing issues, including replacing plumbing, fixing roof leaks, removing asbestos and creating disability access, but it would not use cash earmarked for the redevelopment to fix them. “The $250,000 is not for maintenance, it’s for a new building; there’s no way it will be touched.” Shire manager of planning and development Chris Pike said there needed to be further discussions between the club and the council on major maintenance issues.
Pressing the point: Torquay home of Aussie surfing BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire will market Torquay as “the home of Australian surfing” and “the start of the Great Ocean Road” in a major effort to capitalise on the town’s surfing roots. At last week’s meeting, councillors considered the recommendations of a report by consultants GHD into the Australian Surf Capital Project, which is looking at the promotion and redevelopment of the Surf City precinct. The report found the opening of the Geelong Ring Road had reduced visitation to Torquay by up to 25 per cent, which had reduced annual expenditure in the town by $19 million. However, it also found that introducing the “home of Australian surfing” brand across Torquay and marketing it as “the start of the Great Ocean Road” would bring visitors back to the town, and a 10 per cent rise in both visitor numbers and average expenditure would inject $16 million
annually into Torquay’s economy. The Surf City precinct is recommended as the best location for a Visitor Information Centre, and the Surf World museum will be renamed the Australian National Surfing Museum “to highlight the significance of the museum worldwide”. GHD’s report also suggests five design concept options for the precinct, ranging in cost from $285,000 to $43 million. Cr Libby Coker said the precinct had great potential and the report needed to be looked at “with intelligence and a proactive attitude”. “We are the Australian surfing capital; we need to have the signage to show that so that people need to turn left (after coming off the Geelong Ring Road) instead of heading towards Anglesea. “I look forward to the council being brave.” Cr Brian McKiterick said Torquay faced competition from Coolangatta and parts of Queensland over its status as Australia’s home Changes are slated at Surf City as part of the Australian Surf Capital Project. of surfing.

FIVE million sun-loving Aussie birds are embarking on an epic, 13,000 kilometre journey and you can track their progress as part of a national Birdlife Australia event. On a flight that would exhaust even the world’s most seasoned travellers, millions of birds leave Australia throughout autumn on their annual journey travelling great distances to countries such as China, Korea, Siberia and Alaska. In their lifetime, migratory birds can travel more than 700,000 – as far as the moon and back. Birdlife Australia is following six of the 35 species that head north each year to escape the Australian winter, exploring why they make this incredible journey and how they rely on Australia’s coast, wetlands and estuaries for their survival. Those interested in following the captivating story of the shorebirds’ annual, global migration can sign up at farewellshorebirds.org.au and
receive weekly videos and webcasts from Birdlife Australia. Each webcast will mark the departure of another wave of birds and track their progress as they journey across the globe. Webcasts feature Australian bird loving comedian John Clarke and are anchored by Sean Dooley, author of The Big Twitch, editor of Australian BirdLife magazine and holder of the Australian Big Year twitching record from 2002 until 2012. “Many Australians will be amazed to discover how these birds prepare for this incredible flight including many surprising facts – they shrink the size of their liver and stomach to make it easier to fly so far – this and many other fascinating shorebird facts will feature throughout the webcasts,” Mr Dooley said. Birds featured include the curlew sandpiper,
the most threatened of the 35 species; the red knot, whose journey stretches the length of the flyway (13,000 kilometres); and the bar-tailed godwit, known to fly 11,000 kilometres non-stop from Alaska across the Pacific in nine days. The smallest of the group is the red-necked stint which weighs as little as two 50-cent coins. The tiny bird is one of the many migratory birds that call our region home. Along surf beaches saanderlings and ruddy turnstones, both migratory shorebirds can all be found while the Barwon River and Lake Connewarre are also important shorebird sites. The “Farewell Shorebirds” event has been running from April 10 until May 10, concluding on World Migratory Bird Day. Watch a teaser clip and join the conversation at farewellshorebirds.org.au or use #FarewellShorebirds on Twitter.

Resort misevaluation leads to rates revenue shortfall BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire is collecting $230,000 less in rates revenue than it expected after an incorrect valuation of the RACV Torquay Resort. The drop in rates income was revealed in the shire’s monthy financial report for March, which was discussed by councillors at last week’s council meeting. The report states the revised forecast operating result for the 2013/14 year was a surplus of $1.3 million. This is $1.6 million below budget, and the variance
includes a rates income figure $300,000 lower than expected, “mainly due to the valuation of the RACV Torquay Resort being lower than budget�. At the meeting, shire corporate director Chris Cowley said some assumptions were made when putting together the budget, including an $80 million estimate of the value of the resort at 1 Great Ocean Road. However, the valuation was later found to be closer to $22 million. As a result, the council was expecting to collect $350,000 in rates from the 92-room resort, but
only collected $120,000. In response to a question from Cr Clive Goldsworthy, Mr Cowley said the Surf Coast Shire had made an appeal to the Victorian Valuer-General, Robert Marsh, to revalue the property but this had been unsuccessful. “So, unfortunately we’ll just have to live with it.� The RACV Torquay Resort was built at a cost of $115 million and started operations on June 1 last year. It was officially opened by Prime Minister Tony Abbott on his 100th day in office – December 16, 2013.
Farmers’ market outside council chambers approved BY JAMES TAYLOR DAVID Bell has been granted consent by Surf Coast Shire to run his farmers’ market in the car parking area in front of the council chambers in Torquay. The market was originally held at Torquay Central but was forced to move out and has been operating on a temporary basis from Grant Pavilion. At last week’s meeting, councillors resolved to give Mr Bell a licence to hold the market in the car park, and to review the arrangement after six months.
Although Mr Bell is also a councillor with the shire, he excused himself from the debate and his fellow councillors were quick to insist the licence was not given any favourable treatment. Cr Brian McKiterick said the council had exercised good governance in regards to the application. “I think he’s been put through a rigorous test, whereas another member of the community might not be.� He said allowing the car park to be the site of the market was a good use for the space on weekends. The initial resolution set the fee for the site to be
$360 per week plus GST, but Cr Heather Wellington submitted an alternate resolution to set the fee at $10 per stall per week plus GST. She said the $360 figure was based on a maximum of 36 stalls, which the market might not necessarily have when it started. “I think we have to be fair and reasonable.� Cr Libby Coker said Torquay North was a place set to grow, and a farmers’ market in the area would be welcome. “We have to give it soul and some character. “The market will grow hopefully in vibrancy and patronage as the area grows.�
WAVING GOODBYE TO THE FUNK An enthusiastic group of surfers hit the water at Jan Juc on Friday morning as part of the Fluoro Friday One Wave Is All It Takes event, aimed at raising awareness about mental illness and ways to beat it. Here, Charlotte Hill shows her enthusiasm for the event, where people dress in fluoro colours and go for a surf. One Wave Is All It Takes brings people together to share the fun of surfing, and at the same time raise awareness and support for anyone experiencing depression or “funk� disorders. The events are aimed at spreading the word and helping people talk about depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses. Visit onewaveisallittakes.com. Photo: TERRY BROUN JR

Board wisdom to be passed on LEIGH Steven is marking his 50th year of being involved in the surfboard industry in 2014, and now anyone can benefit from his half-century of board shaping experience. The well-known shaper started one-on-one “shape your own surfboard” classes in Torquay last month, and says interest in the classes is taking off. “I’m starting to get one to two clients a week and it is really starting to move.” The idea for the classes came from Leigh’s son, Joel, who formerly owned Tigerfish in Torquay but is now working with Quiksilver in France. Leigh said the boards would take three to four hours to shape, depending on the client’s level of
experience with tools. “A few people have come to me and said ‘I’ve always wanted to do this but I’ve never made a thing in my life, can I do it?’ and I say yes. “I demonstrate throughout the process, but 85-90 per cent of the work is carried out by the client. “They walk away with something they’ve created, and they walk away with a board that’s slightly cheaper than what they’d purchase in a surf shop. “Everyone leaves with a huge grin on their face – several have come back and said ‘I want to do it again’.” The shaping classes cover all aspects of surfboard design theory as well as the technical aspects of
creating a surfboard out of a chunk of foam. “People have a wide range of ideas on what sort of board they want to create. People often have a particular era of surfing they want to replicate with their own surfboard creation. The fantastic thing is that unlike most manufactured products, the method of producing a surfboard hasn’t changed for 50 years, but the design theory has. “I have shaped thousands of boards across all eras of the sport so if someone wants help creating a replica 1970s board we can achieve that very authentically. “I think what excites people the most is what has excited me for most of my life – the ability to

Price set for Jan Juc encroachment sale BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire has put a final figure on the sale of public land in Jan Juc to an encroaching property, setting the price at $111,000. At last week’s meeting, councillors resolved to formally agree to the sale of the 175 square metres of land at 85 Torquay Boulevard to the owner of neighbouring 81 Torquay Boulevard. However, the motion also includes a commitment to begin proceedings to remove the encroaching part of the property if the sale is not agreed to within six months. How to handle the encroachment has vexed the shire for 12 years and been the subject of several
council motions, most recently at an in-camera meeting in July at which councillors voted to sell the land at market value. Cr Brian McKiterick, who successfully moved the motion, said it was “an issue where the waters have been muddied” but the council had offered “a realistic value in today’s terms” for the wedgeshaped piece of land. “This is a very complicated matter, and the council has taken this approach in fairness.” Cr Heather Wellington said she was troubled that it had taken 12 years for the council to arrive at this point. “We have to take a zero-tolerance view; we can’t allow this to be happening.
“We also have to ensure anyone who encroaches on public does not gain a material advantage from doing so.” Funds from the sale of land will go towards the implementation of the Jan Juc Creek Masterplan. Cr Libby Coker, who was the only councillor to vote against the motion, said there was merit in proceeds from the sale going towards the masterplan but that the council “needed to send a message” to encroaching properties. The council resolution also includes the creation of a covenant on the 175 square metres to prevent any further building development and that it cannot be used to support future subdivision of the larger site.
The sold sign More information offered on Aireys water supply plan says it all ANOTHER public information display on the water supply upgrade investigations for Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven will be held on Saturday. Barwon Water is considering two upgrade options as the towns’ water treatment plant at Painkalac Reservoir approaches the end of its operational life. A detailed design and cost estimate have been completed for replacing the treatment plant while investigations into a pipeline to supply Aireys Inlet from Anglesea are under way. Since the last display in March, the Barwon
Water Alliance has completed preliminary flora and fauna, cultural heritage and geotechnical surveys for the pipeline option. Information gathered has been used to develop a functional design, with the preferred route being along Distillery Creek Road. Work is now starting on a detailed design and cost estimate for the pipeline. The information display will provide an update on the options comparison and is an opportunity for community members to ask questions and provide feedback. A final decision on the pipeline is not

expected until August. There has been some community opposition to the towns being connected to a pipeline, with a “Save Aireys Inlet Dam” page being set up on Facebook last month. The display will be held at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall on Saturday from 9am-noon and 1-3pm. For more information, phone the Barwon Water Alliance Community and Stakeholder Engagement team on 5226 9950 or email alliance@barwonwateralliance.com.au.
A Hayden Real Estate auction in Anglesea over the weekend pointed to a strengthening coastal real estate market. The property at 11 Minifie Avenue sold for $760,000, $60,000 above the reserve, to Leanne and Eric Jacometti (pictured here with their children). Hayden Real Estate sales consultant Erica Semmens said four bidding parties fought it out in a broader crowd of 70-80 people. “Weather conditions were not conducive for people coming out to an auction but nevertheless, after a very successful auction campaign, a fantastic result was achieved. With three parties missing out on the day, the strength of the Anglesea market was certainly highlighted along with the demand for quality property in the surrounding area.” For more real estate news see “My Coastal Property”, beginning page 41.

COMMUNITY PROFILE A big congratulations to all associated with the Lorne RSL after last Fridays moving dawn and mid morning services held at Anzac Park in Lorne. Albeit small in numbers this magnificent group of women and men, with their families, friends and community service personnel have continued to elevate the importance in which the Anzac Day memorial remains in the hearts of the Australian people. To stand overlooking Louttit Bay aside approximately 300 other Lorne residents and visitors to pay tribute to the Anzacs was a very moving experience, and without doubt the biggest dawn service yet to be held in Lorne. Also proud to report that after some heavy lobbying by our local councillor the new community PA system was rolled out with fantastic success. A vast improvement for the ever increasing crowd to ensure that every part of the service could be clearly interpreted - well done to all. The Lorne Dolphins played host to the Western Eagles last weekend which saw the senior football side and under 15 netballers both unveil their premiership penants from last season. Lorne’s first home game of the year also saw the unveiling of the new surfaces of the football ground and netball courts and what a fantastic site it was to see both facilities up and operational and arguably the best on the coast. I know there have been some hiccups along the journey, and the netballers not knowing until the last minute whether their court would be ready, but we now have a great facility for many years to come. I urge all community members to ensure you view the draft master plan for the Erskine River precinct. The Committee for Lorne will be making a submission and we invite your comments as we draft our response. Remember submissions close at midnight on Sunday the 18th of May and we are keen to ensure that we can submit and represent the broader interests of our community. Please also put in your diary, Monday the 5th of May 5.30pm at the Grand Pacific Hotel for the opportunity to meet and listen to the Chairman of the newly formed Great Ocean Road Tourism Board - Mr Wayne Kayler Thompson. To confirm your attendance, for catering purposes, please alert david. dickinson@lovelorne.com.au. At the time you will be reading this I will be awakening, all going to plan, from a surgical process in line with comments I made in this column earlier in the year of topical discussion’s surrounding health, joint replacements and well being. Life is a great thing and the medical profession amazing with what they can do to ensure longevity, but there are three letters that best describe what sits in front of us all, A-G-E, and to deal with this with a smile on our face is the only solution.
The Friends of the Lorne Cinema is being established On Saturday 26th of April the Lorne Historical Society held a meeting for people concerned about the future of the Lorne Cinema. The cinema will be auctioned at the Crown Conference Centre on Wednesday 14th May 2014. The decision to auction the cinema has been recently announced and fifty people attended this hurriedly called meeting. The cinema is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register (Heritage Overlay Number: H061) as a building of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria. It is seen as an example of a purpose-built theatre in the Art Deco style. It is a rare example of a cinema that retains the single screen format and of the Moderne style used in a rural location. The high degree of integrity of the interior and exterior of the Lorne Cinema demonstrates its continuous use as a cinema and the characteristics of this type of place. The meeting agreed to form a group called the Friends of the Lorne Cinema, to explore ways of retaining the cinema as an economically viable and functioning theatre. The Lorne Historical Society will investigate the possibility of this group becoming a sub-committee of the Society. The Lorne Historical Society is resolved to do all in its power to ensure the integrity of the building remains, and to assist in promoting its use. A community campaign to USE OR LOSE the cinema was seen as a pivotal plank of any further course of action, a campaign that will only be successful if all the key groups within Lorne and its wider district are involved. The following actions will be undertaken: s 4O CONTACT THE OWNER TO DISCUSS THE possibilities. s 4O SPEAK TO LOCAL POLITICIANS TO REGISTER THE group’s concern. s 4O APPROACH THE AGENTS TO RESOLVE ISSUES OF price, potential interest and lessee rights.
s 4 O SEEK A MEETING WITH (ERITAGE 6ICTORIA TO have the various processes explain. s 4O FORMALIZE THE STATUS OF THE &RIENDS OF THE Cinema at the May 9th meeting of the Lorne Historical Society. s !T LEAST lVE MEMBERS OF THE &RIENDS OF THE Cinema will attend the auction. s 4O WORK WITH THE FUTURE OWNERS OF THE CINEMA to assist with its viability. s 4O EXPLORE THE IDEA OF CREATING hGUARDIAN angels” of the cinema. s 4O ENCOURAGE THE FORMATION OF A COMMUNITY group with proprietary and preservation interest. s 4O INVESTIGATE INVITING A PATRON FOR THE &RIENDS of the Cinema. s 4O ENSURE THAT ALL INTERESTED PEOPLE IN THE Lorne Cinema be made fully aware via traditional and social media, mail and email. The Lorne Cinema was constructed in 1937 and it has operated continuously as a cinema since that time. It had its origins in the establishment of the Lorne Theatre Company in 1915 by Lorne residents, including photographer Albert Jarratt. Talking pictures were shown by the late 1920s and the decision to build the present theatre was made a decade later. The completion of the Great Ocean Road in 1932 encouraged tourists to the township and would have influenced this decision. Saturday’s meeting was united in its support for the retention of the Cinema as an important part of Lorne’s heritage. I encourage members of the community to be AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE &RIENDS OF THE ,ORNE Cinema.

Prime Minister opens NDIA HQ BY JAMES TAYLOR THE headquarters of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) have been officially opened in Geelong. Prime Minister Tony Abbott visited the headquarters in Brougham Street yesterday morning ahead of the launch of the agency, which will implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Its role includes holding the funds contributed by the federal, state and territory governments in a single pool, managing scheme funds, administering access to the scheme and approving the payment of individual support packages. The Barwon region is one of four trial sites for the NDIS as it is rolled out across Australia, and many of the participants in the Barwon trial attended the launch at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel. The NDIS is expected to support more than 100,000 eligible Victorians by 2019. Mr Abbott said the federal government welcomed the opening. “The government is fully committed to the
successful rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and today is a significant milestone in its development.” He thanked the state and federal politicians from both major parties who had played a role in bringing the NDIA to fruition. Premier Denis Napthine said the opening was a wonderful day – “not just for people with a disability, their families and carers nationally, but also for Geelong”. “More than 100 jobs are expected to be created in the national office of the NDIA by the end of 2014. “And around 450 jobs will be created by the combined national NDIA office and the Barwon NDIA office by the time the scheme is fully implemented from July 2016.” Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said the opening was wonderful news for the region and was expected to provide a $34 million boost to our local economy once the NDIS is fully rolled out. “I am a passionate supporter of the NDIS and I’m very proud that Geelong is now the home of this scheme which is so important to people with a disability and their families.”

Shire reviews dog regulations in Torquay officers identified that a number of new reserves created in Torquay North as part of recent development have not had the benefit of declaration under the existing dog regulation, and that a review of those reserves in that light needed to be undertaken. Cr Eve Fisher said she would support any review of the shire’s dog regulations. She said there was nothing wrong with dogs on leads on beaches, but acknowledged it was a contentious issue. Councillors also adopted the shire’s revised Domestic Animal Management Plan (DAMP) for
2012-16 at last week’s meeting. Cr Margot Smith said that as a director of RSPCA Victoria, she was particularly pleased to see the inclusion of free first registration for animals sourced from pounds. “We should be encouraging our citizens to adopt pets, and specifically discouraging puppy farms.” Cr Heather Wellington said she appreciated measures to improve the education of the community on emergency management planning for animals and pets, and strongly supported the review of the cat curfew across the shire.
Waterman Challenge postponed SATURDAY’s Surf Coast Waterman Challenge has been postponed. Organisers planned to run the inaugural event on May 3 and grow it “to be one of the biggest water events in Victoria”, but said yesterday that “unfortunately our initial event date in May hasn’t had the widespread appeal we were hoping for. Therefore a decision has been made to postpone the event until we can find a more appropriate date”. For more information, head to watermanchallenge.com.au.

CHANGES to dog regulations on Fishermans Beach in Torquay will be considered by the Surf Coast Shire, along with possible new areas for dogs in the Torquay North growth area. A petition with more than 500 signatures calling for dogs on leads to be allowed on the beach for all of the summer school holidays was tabled with the shire in late March. At last week’s meeting, councillors voted for a review of the regulations, including community consultation, with a report to be presented in July. When initially reviewing the petition, council

State longboading champs set for Ocean Grove BY TIFFANY PILCHER
THE best longboarders from across Victoria will descend on Ocean Grove this weekend to battle it out in the state titles. The first round of the Be The Influence Victorian Longboard Titles will see the top competitors looking for the points needed to gain a spot in the state team. After the teams are decided, they will head to the Australian Surf Festival in Coffs Harbour this August. Local longboarders competing over the weekend will include reigning
Victorian champ Ben Considine from Barwon Heads, and Andrew Brown, Melanie Renton-Wright, sisters Abbie and Shannen Ferns and Glenn Priddle, all from Ocean Grove. They’re up against some tough competition with the oldest surfer in the Men’s Open division, Kane Tankard from Mount Martha, coming in as finalist in the Over 35 Australian Longboard Titles. Tankard’s consistent dominance in competitive longboarding gives him a strong chance to take out some of the younger competitors.
The Open Women’s Division will see last years champion Molly Powell from Anglesea in a tough face-off against Morgan Griggs-Kennelly of Aireys Inlet. Round two of the Be the Influence Victorian Longboard Titles will be held two weeks after the Ocean Grove competition at Point Impossible. The Be the Influence Victorian Longboard Titles is presented by HIF and supported by Team Up, Play it Safe by the Water and Surfing Victoria. Heat draws will be released Thursday afternoon at surfingvic.com.

Coastcare continues to kick plastic bags BY TIFFANY PILCHER OCEAN Grove Coastcare is continuing to push for a plastic bagfree Ocean Grove and will be setting up an environmental exhibition at this month’s Mountain to Mouth extreme arts walk to spread the word. The group held a meeting on Thursday to invite people to become involved in organising their presence at the event. Volunteers will construct a footprint made out of sea-borne rubbish and display it at a stall near the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club during the event on Saturday May 10. There will be information on how to help Ocean Grove operate totally free of plastic bags as well as general Coastcare information also available at the stall. The group has been working on the campaign since August last year
and garnered much support from local residents, visitors, traders and associations. President John O’Reilly said they are slowly making their way towards their goal. “It’s all kicking along, it’s a slow process to go from having plastic bags in all stores to having none at all. We’ve had really great feedback from individuals and businesses who support the idea and that’s very encouraging. “We had a presence at the Bellarine Farmer’s Market on the weekend and handed out all our jute bags as well as recycling all the green bags that were there and we’re looking to also have monthly presence at the Ocean Grove Rotary Market in the future also.� At the meeting, Coastcare also decided on dates for their 2014 winter working bees, anyone interested in helping out is invited to email coastcare@gmail.com for updates.
News in brief OGCA AGM next week THE Ocean Grove Community Association’s (OGCA) annual general meeting will be held on Wednesday night at the Grove Centre (library), Presidents Avenue at 7pm. The association expects to have an updated report on the Town
Reigning Under 18 state champion Ben Considine from Ocean Grove in action. He will defend his title this weekend at his home break.

The Gordon sets out its strategic plan BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Gordon says it is strengthening its future and cementing its place as a leader in the field of education and training, with the launch of its 20142017 Strategic Plan. Launched last week by Minister for Higher Education and Skills, Nick Wakeling, the plan sets out The Gordon’s strategic direction to realise opportunities and meet challenges in the context of VET policy changes and broader economic conditions. It lists four strategic priorities and 12 strategic objectives to support and guide the work of the vocational trainer in the Geelong and surrounding regions: • Maintain Institute Sustainability – building self-sufficiency in order to reinvest in the communities served • The Gordon’s Value Proposition – maximising the institute’s competitive point of difference in the market • Future Delivery Methodology – providing learners with greater choice of when, where and how they learn, and • The Gordon Way – facilitating a high-performing workforce and a unified foundation for the future. Gordon chief executive officer Lisa Line said the institute remained proactive and agile, with a robust and forward-looking road map for the next
four years. “The Gordon remains committed to continuing to be a commercially focused and financially strong institute. “In developing the plan, we have undertaken a thorough and consultative process to identify key drivers, environmental influences and innovative ideas that will impact on, and contribute to, our success. “A priority focus will be on implementing our Blended Learning Initiative. This initiative is centred on combining the best things about face-toface learning with the power of modern technology to create an exciting and connected educational experience for our students.” Mr Wakeling said The Gordon had been an important education and training provider in Geelong for more than 125 years and was integral to helping locals gain the necessary skills to secure meaningful and long term jobs. “The Geelong region has experienced significant changes to local industry, and The Gordon’s Strategic Plan outlines a clear vision for helping to meet the employment challenges that have arisen. “This plan will ensure The Gordon remains a leading provider of vocational training throughout the region.” To read the Strategic Plan, head to thegordon.edu.au/About/OrgInfo/Pages/ Corporate-Publications.aspx.
Peter Coles presents Sarah Henderson with the royal wetsuit.
Prince George gets a Rip Curl wetsuit BY JAMES TAYLOR ROYAL baby Prince George has headed home with a swag of gifts from across Australia, including a tiny wetsuit made by Rip Curl from the voters of Corangamite. Last Wednesday, Rip Curl’s Peter Coles presented Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson with the wetsuit, to take to the parliamentary reception for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted by the Prime Minister at Parliament House the next day. “While protocol dictates that a formal presentation of the size 2 Rip Curl wetsuit won’t be possible, I have no doubt this special gift from the people of Corangamite will make an impact in the royal household,” Ms Henderson said. “This is a great opportunity for our region to win a place in the hearts of the world’s most
famous family. “I think this is a perfect gift. Corangamite is home to some of the world’s best surf beaches and, of course, the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach. “Rip Curl has been a local institution since 1969 and is a world leading wetsuit maker. What local product is more iconic than a Rip Curl wetsuit?” As a mother, Ms Henderson said it was also a very practical present when taking a toddler to the beach. “Who knows, maybe one day Prince George will visit Torquay and learn to surf! “I wish to express my thanks to Rip Curl International for donating one of the more than half a million wetsuits it sells each year.” The royal family attended the Anzac Day dawn service in Canberra on Friday before returning home.

More than a million reasons to buy a Pink Bun BELLARINE Peninsula bakers are rolling up their sleeves to help raise $1.5 million for Breast Cancer Network Australia during this year’s Pink Bun Campaign. The annual fundraising campaign, which runs between April 24 and May14, will see almost 600 bakeries donate 100 per cent of the sale of more than one million Pink Finger Buns to BCNA. Chasing a record-breaking fundraising target in 2014, BCNA are encouraging Bakers Delight customers to buy a bun and help provide much needed support for Australian women and families living with breast cancer. This year the campaign concludes just after Mother’s Day, Sunday May 11. The money raised by Bakers Delight customers
will support BCNA’s information resources provided to Australians affected by breast cancer, such as the My Journey Kit, a free resource for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Local Bakers Delight bakeries at Torquay, Ocean Grove and Ocean Grove Marketplace hope to make this the most successful Pink Bun campaign ever, aiming to do their bit to better the $1.2 million raised in 2013. Bakers Delight customers are also encouraged to leave a personal message for women in their community on a “Pink Lady” paper silhouette purchased for a gold coin donation. Messages of support or in memory of a loved one with breast cancer will be displayed in each local bakery during the campaign.
Nadine and Vicki from Bakers Delight at Ocean Grove Market Place get into the spirit of the Pink Bun Campaign.
High Tide a burst of fashion colour on park LOCAL fashion boutique High Tide on the Park has a new location and a new range of clothes in for winter. High Tide’s original store was located in Gilbert Street, Torquay but was closed in March this year in preference for the bright colourful new store on Zeally Bay Road, which has been open since late last year. Owner Kathy Richardson said the new premises were fantastic. “They are light, spacious and have a great view over the park and easy parking. “I try and select clothes for my shop that flatter the figure. There are some classic styles, some a bit quirky, but never ordinary. “Clothes that have the ‘wow’ factor that you will never regret

Ms Richardson said she, along with staff members Chris and Jill, have years of experience in helping women decide what suits them. “We also have a trained stylist in the shop on Sundays and Mondays, so you can also come and make use of Julia’s skills free of charge on those days.” Ms Richardson said for those looking to do something different for Mother’s Day (or any other special occasion), the shop can be booked after hours. “We will provide the champagne and savouries and the stylist – so let’s go shopping!” High Tide on the Park is located on Zeally Bay Road and can be contacted on 5261 4498.

Lorne students learn tell-tale sailing signs BY JAMES TAYLOR STUDENTS from the Lorne-Aireys Inlet P12 College and Anglesea Primary Schools have tried their hand at sailing and beach safety activities at Point Roadknight, thanks to some help from members from the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club. Over the course of the four-week Active After Schools Sailing Program, students were given the opportunity to try sailing on a variety of different types of catamarans and to develop basic sailing skills and techniques. They learnt the basics of how to steer, trim sails, and catch waves, and some even attempted hanging out the side of the trapeze while gathering speed along the spectacular coastline between Point Roadknight and Anglesea.

Coastal Event Management’s Coastal Boutique Market will feature a range of shopping opportunities.
The Anglesea Motor Yacht Club is a Discover Sailing Centre for the Surf Coast and each year during January the club participates in the National Discover Sailing Day, where club members take members of the community out to try sailing for an afternoon. The club is working with Yachting Victoria’s Mobile Boatshed to deliver learn to sail programs for children in the area. During January, the club ran its first Tackers sailing program at the club, and several students from this program are now crewing on-board club boats during Sunday club races. For more information about learn to sail programs and joining the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club, contact the Anglesea Primary School or Lorne-Aireys Inlet P12 College, or head to amyc.yachting.org.au.

Transfer times improve at Geelong Hospital BY JAMES TAYLOR
December 2012 quarter • Provided a total of 45,543 bed-days to patients in the three months to the end of December – up from 43,208 bed-days for the previous year, and • Admitted 143 neonatal intensive care/special care
nursery babies for the December quarter, up from 130 admissions in the previous three months. Mr Davis said more than half of Victoria’s Category 1, 2 and 3 patients were treated within 11 minutes, an improvement on the 12-minute median in the previous quarter.
THE latest Victorian Health Services Performance data shows significant improvement in ambulance transfer times at Geelong Hospital, according to Health Minister David Davis. Last week, Mr Davis released the data for Barwon Health, and said it showed the recommendations of the Ambulance Transfer Taskforce were being successfully implemented, with 87.1 per cent of transfers completed within 40 minutes. This is up on its 86.9 per cent transfer rate in the September quarter. The report shows Barwon Health was part of the improvement in transfer times, and in a range of other key hospital performance measures. These show that Geelong Hospital: • Admitted 17,402 patients in the December quarter – up from 16,650 admissions in the same period a year earlier • Had a reduction in the number of patients on the elective surgery waiting list – from 2,330 at the end of the December 2012 quarter to 1,979 at the end of December 2013 • Provided operations within the benchmark 30 days for 100 per cent of the hospital’s 428 Category 1 urgent elective surgery patients in the December quarter • Provided operations within the benchmark 365 days for 85 per cent of the hospital’s Category 3 elective surgery patients in the December quarter – up from 81 per cent in the previous three months • Provided treatment to 24,604 outpatients in specialist clinics in the December quarter, up from 22,527 treatments in the Geelong Hospital has improved its performance in several areas over the past three months

More funding tipped in for Home and Community Care BY JAMES TAYLOR SENIORS who need support and younger people with a disability in Corangamite will get extra help to stay in their own homes thanks to a $324,884 boost from the federal and Victorian governments. The extra Home and Community Care (HACC) funding will be distributed among 12 service providers based in the electorate. The funding ranges from $3,337 for South West Do Care, $4,273 for Karingal and $4,634 for the Borough of Queenscliffe; to $94,836 for Bellarine Community Health, $53,813 for Colac Otway Shire and $44,030 for Surf Coast Shire. Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said the extra funding would help expand existing services or create new ones in identified priority areas of need in Corangamite to support Victorians who needed help to continue to live at home. “And it will enable people to keep active and involved in their local communities.” The funding is part of $668 million in joint federal and Victorian funding invested in the HACC program to about 470 agencies across the state this financial year. Health Minister David Davis said the state government was helping seniors to live active and healthy lives, and stay connected to their community. “This year HACC services will assist about 300,000 Victorians who need help to live independently at home and participate in community activities. “Victorians accessing HACC services will receive an additional 224,600 hours of care and support. “This includes an extra 29,000 hours of in home services such as domestic assistance, personal care and property maintenance; 44,000 more hours of care planning to ensure clients receive the right care, at the right time; and 50,000 hours of nursing and allied health care such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy and podiatry.”

ANZAC DAY - LEST WE FORGET
21
Big crowd pays its respects on Anzac Day BY JAMES TAYLOR A HUGE crowd of people paid their respects in Torquay last week to commemorate the 99th anniversary of the Anzac landings in Gallipoli. As many as 10,000 people gathered at Point Danger for the dawn service, including about 100 veterans. Torquay RSL president Ian Gilbank said he was extremely pleased with how the Anzac Day service went. “It’s really hard to tell numbers, but we think it’s bigger than last year.” He said the increasing proximity to next year’s centenary commemoration had led to bigger crowds in recent years. As a result, Torquay RSL introduced a digital sound system and video screens at the back as a test for 2015, and Mr Gilbank said both measures had been a success. Major (ret’d) Bob Elworthy gave an address during Soldiers guard the Anzac memorial at Point Danger in Torquay.

Mr Gilbank said he agreed with those sentiments. “I’m very proud of our young people – they cop a hiding in the press sometimes but I think we’re in good hands.” In Angelsea, the Anzac Day service by the Anglesea RSL began with a march from the corner of Noble Street and Great Ocean Road, with a following service at the RSL Hall in Murray Street. In Lorne, Cr Clive Goldsworthy, representatives of the Armed Forces, the RSL, Lions Club, CFA and other community groups laid wreaths at the local memorial during a well-attended service.

ANZAC DAY - LEST WE FORGET
Thousands remember the fallen at Bellarine services MORE than 1,000 people braved the cold to commemorate our diggers at an Anzac Day dawn service at Ocean Grove Park. Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL secretary David Gilroy said the chilly five degree weather at 6am failed to deter the crowds, with young and old gathering at the War Memorial to remember Australians who served and died in all wars. “I’m not big on numbers but someone said there were 1,000-plus people there, which is a lot higher than we have ever had,” Mr Gilroy said. “And then at the 10am Ocean Grove service there was 3,000-plus, and at the Barwon Heads service 800-plus.” Mr Gilroy said he had noticed more young people attending Anzac Day ceremonies, especially school aged kids and parents of school aged kids. “I just feel that there are generally more people interested in it,” he said. Mr Gilroy said the service’s new location at Ocean Grove Park worked well and that the lighting created a ghostly soft light on the war memorial, which suited the atmosphere. Services were also held at Portarlington, Drysdale, Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.

Call for blankets to warm up the needy BY REBECCA LAUNER THE Bellarine Salvos are calling for blanket donations, which they say will not only warm people’s souls, but light up people’s faces too. Bellarine Salvation Army Officer Lieutenant Peter Hobbs said he hoped the Bellarine community would get behind this year’s blanket appeal because the need for donations was getting greater. “Many people simply can’t afford their energy bills so they are switching off and rugging up,” Lt Hobbs said. He said the Salvation Army recognised providing blankets was a bandaid solution, and was working by partnering with businesses to produce a more effective sustainable housing solution for the future. “We hope what’s in the pipeline will be something that really benefits those financially struggling in Australia,” Lt Hobbs said.
Clean blankets can be donated to the friendly staff at either of the Salvos Thrift Shops on the Bellarine at 49 Ash Road, Leopold, or 4/6 Marine Parade, Ocean Grove. They will be distributed by the Bellarine Salvos team to needy families on the Peninsula. If anyone would like to assist The Salvation Army on the Bellarine in their mission, or if anyone desperately needs any blankets lease call Lt Peter Hobbs on 0439 490 658 or email peter.hobbs@aus.salvationarmy.org. Alternatively, if you would like to support the upcoming Red Shield Appeal please call the Bellarine’s Red Shield Appeal Chairman Greg McDonald on 5255 1222. Salvation Army Thrift Shop Ocean Grove manager Linda Velic hands over some blankets to Lieutenant Diane Hobbs for this year’s Blanket Appeal.
Queenscliff’s Good Friday tradition continues BY TIFFANY PILCHER
Event organiser Charlene Bondic rings the bell, sending children scurrying for all the Easter eggs they could get their hands on.
THE Queenscliff Bowling, Tennis and Croquet Club continued the town’s annual tradition of fundraising an exceptional amount of money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal with their first Easter Eggstravaganza on April 18. The club prepared a whole day of fun and activities for families, including auctions, market stalls, facepainting, performances by local bands and a huge Easter egg hunt for the children. The event raised $16,000, and combined with the $5,000 raised by the community through donation tins, Queenscliff raised a total of $21,000 for the Appeal. Queenscliff Bowling, Tennis and Croquet Club manager Rod Wayth said he
was overwhelmed by the result. “The whole day went really well, this is the first time we’ve done it and we were overjoyed with the outcome. We were optimistically hoping to raise $10,000 so to hit $16,000 was brilliant.
The Easter Eggstravaganza was organised after the town’s annual Kids Busking for Kids event was cancelled this year and it’s replacement event, The Borough of Queenscliffe’s Mayoral Ball was also cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
A group of children from Wallington are pleased with their chocolate haul after the hunt.

Australia Post issues Anzac stamps BY JAMES TAYLOR AS AUSTRALIANS prepared to commemorate Anzac Day last week, Australia Post released the first stamp issue in a five-year series designed to tell the chronological story of our nation’s involvement in World War I. Between 2014 and 2018 Australia will commemorate 100 years since WWI, a conflict which helped to define our country. As the organisation that helped deliver precious letters between WWI soldiers and home, Australia Post is closely linked to the Anzacs, a connection which it hopes to honour through this commemorative stamp issue. Australia Post philatec manager Michael Zsolt said the company hoped the stamps served as a symbol of appreciation to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Each of the five stamp issues has been developed in conjunction with the Australian War Memorial to encompass key events, battles and individuals relevant to each year of the centenary. The 2014 stamp issue marks Australia’s involvement in the first months of war, with five domestic base-rate (70c) stamps: • War Declared! – Volunteers queuing to enlist in Sydney • Australians in Action – The seizure of German New Guinea – the first action in which Australians were involved • Troops Depart – The enthusiasm of new recruits as they departed for Europe • Training Mena Camp – Australians with a mascot at Egypt’s Mena Camp, and • Our Boys – Three unknown soldiers in a studio portrait, representing the tens of thousands of
young men who fought in a war half a world away. Australian War Memorial director Dr Brendan Nelson said the centenary stamp issue complemented the War Memorial’s planned centenary activity. “Through our centenary commemorations we hope to encourage Australians, young and old, to reflect upon and learn more about Australia’s military history. “These stamps are a brilliant visual representation of Australia’s involvement in World War I, but more importantly, each tells a significant story that we can learn from and be proud of.” The stamps and associated products are available from participating Australia Post retail outlets, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online at auspost.com.au/stamps while stocks last. “Our Boys” is one of the first Anzac stamps.
A world of wonders lives beneath the waves

WHILE most eyes were on the surface of Point Addis Marine National Park over Easter for the Rip Curl Pro, there were some equally spectacular sights underneath the waves of the legendary surfing destination. In line with the culture of respect that surfing has for the ocean, local surfers made a significant contribution to ensure that the Bells Beach Surfing Recreation Reserve was included within the Marine National Park back in 2002. “Protecting this area meant that its extraordinary environment and spectacular marine life, like the Weedy Seadragon, has thrived in a protected environment,” Parks Victoria ranger Nick Alexeyeff said. “Surfing has a minimal impact on the plants
and creatures of this ocean environment, so it’s a healthy way to connect with nature, and follow in the footsteps of the pioneer surfers in respecting the sea.” Visitors exploring the marine environment within the Point Addis Marine National Park may enjoy exploring the limestone reefs with abundant rockpools filled with marine life. The subtidal waters are recognised as supporting a wide range of fish and algae species as well as seals, dolphins, brilliantly coloured sponge gardens and extensive rhodolith beds. Offshore and often difficult to access due to tides and swell, Ingoldsby Reef is a particularly popular destination for divers to explore and search for such creatures.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surf label takes off in Torquay BY TIFFANY PILCHER
U&I directors Jodie Hayes and Emma Backlund celebrate the launch of their label. Photo: PETER MARSHALL
AFTER battling to find swimwear that stayed put during a surf, Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jodi Hayes and Emma Backlund have created their own label with pieces made specifically for female board riders. The pair launched the label, U&I, at Bird Rock Cafe on April 20, where a large crowd came along to check out the first collection. Ms Hayes said they were thrilled to receive such an enormous show of local support for their venture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fantastic night, it turned out so much better than we ever thought possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a lot of great feedback and to have the support of the local community meant a lot to us.â&#x20AC;? With Ms Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; background as a
fashion designer and Ms Backlundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a designer and photographer, the two bonded over their shared love of surf, fashion and design. Together, they created U&I to fill the gap in the female surfwear market, making stylish and simple active wear to be worn from the shaping shed to the surf to yoga and even into the night. The collection has been designed for active women in their 20s and above, who are looking for pieces that deliver on their promise to be appropriate for vigorous exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw a gap in the market for fashionable active wear that does what it says it will do, as well as presenting women as strong and independent, rather than just showing off their bodies.â&#x20AC;? U&I is available at Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dos Primos and online at uandilabel.com.au.
Runners flock to Sheepwash Classic BY TIFFANY PILCHER
THE largest ever Sheepwash Classic Fun Run was held over the Easter weekend with record numbers of runners turning up to take part in the Barwon Heads Primary School fundraiser. Numbers were significantly up on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event with 95 extra people signing up for either the eight kilometre or four kilometre beach run. Final fundraising figures are still being tallied, but the school has expressed its gratitude to all the organisers, volunteers, students, parents, sponsors
and local traders who supported this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Profits from the annual run are directed towards improving infrastructure at the school. Major sponsor Barwon Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bob Jordan said it was great to see the event growing despite many changes over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be run on the roads throughout Barwon Heads but now it takes in the beaches, the bridge, the caravan parks, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really something different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many fun runs but the Sheepwash is unique and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why more people are joining in
7RUTXD\ %RRNV
every year, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful run and with all the profits going to the school itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic community event.â&#x20AC;? The Sheepwash Classic Fun Run is held every Easter Saturday and is followed by food, entertainment and market stalls on the Barwon Heads Primary School oval. Runners take off from the foreshore in front of At the Heads and head around the spit on the Ocean Grove side of the Barwon River during the Sheepwash Classic Fun Run. Photos: MICHAEL CHAMBERS

Post apprenticeship, Emmanuel became chef-departie at Lainston House Hotel, England, a luxury Hotel that gave him opportunity to develop skills in various international cuisines.

Report confirms local ads a key ingredient for supermarkets BY DEAN WEBSTER REGIONAL and community newspapers provide supermarkets with an effective vehicle to support national advertising campaigns on a local level according to Adrian Fernandes, from The Newspaper Works. Mr Fernandes said The Newspaper Worksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Local Newspaper Report revealed the battle for shoppers was often fought at a local level, and the main supermarket players competed in regional Australia just as aggressively as they did in the cities. Perceptions of supermarkets change depending on location, according to Enhanced Media Metics Australia (emma) data.
The data revealed German discounter Aldi was perceived to offer the best value for money in Wollongong, while Woolworths took that mantle in Newcastle. Locals in Wollongong felt Woolworths was better located than competitors but Aldi and Coles were seen to be more convenient in Newcastle. These differing attitudes encouraged supermarkets to support national campaigns with local advertising, and regional and community newspapers provided the ideal vehicle. Ryans Supa IGA area manager Frank Gasperic agreed local newspapers are essential to the success of their Torquay supermarket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our market is locals, we employ locals, and we
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On at Spring Creek Community House
advertise local with the Surf Coast Times and get great results,â&#x20AC;? Mr Gasperic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With delivery to every household in Torquay and Jan Juc, local papers are best suited to our business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryans Supa IGA Torquay support local community initiatives and events through funding of worthy projects, this is what being a local business is about.â&#x20AC;? The Newspaper Worksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Local Newspaper Report presents detailed insights into the positive impact that advertising in regional and community newspapers has on reader perceptions of advertisers. It also shows advertising in local newspapers has a greater impact than other local media and
enhances brand affinity. The research shows 57 per cent of readers feel more positive about a store or business that advertises in their local paper. Readers are more than twice as positive towards advertisers in regional newspapers than those featuring on local TV (24 per cent), local radio (25 per cent), and letterbox flyers and catalogues (18 per cent). Community newspapers are three times more likely to keep details of a local newspaper ad than they are a catalogue or letterbox flyer.

New simulator for older drivers is put to the test RESEARCHERS are hoping that a new computerbased driving simulation will help lead to accurate, low-cost testing of older drivers’ ability to stay safe on the roads. The University of Adelaide study tests a range of cognitive functions under different conditions. “Most older people are safe drivers with low crash risk – age itself doesn’t determine someone’s fitness to drive, but declining medical, physical and cognitive functions typically associated with ageing have been found to increase crash risk,” Nicole Matas, a PhD student in the university’s School of Psychology, said. “One way to identify drivers at risk is to look at people’s specific abilities. By assessing these through a simulation and quick computerised tests, they can be used to predict whether or not an individual is able to continue driving without risking their own and others’ safety.” Reviews of previous research have identified several cognitive abilities that are related to safe driving performance in older people. “These include visual attention, processing speed, spatial skills, working memory, vision and
mental status.” Using a simulator at the University of Adelaide’s North Terrace campus, older motorists will be asked to “drive” through computer-generated suburban and city areas and respond to hazards along the virtual road. Participants will also undertake a series of cognitive tests aimed at assessing their attention, processing speed, working memory, and peripheral vision processing. “There’s already been a lot of debate in our community about how older drivers should be tested, at what age and how often. Our research is aimed at putting some science into that debate,” Ms Matas said. “At the end of my project, I’ll be producing guidelines on the testing of older drivers. These could be used by authorities to decide on the best and most cost-effective way of helping to keep our roads as safe as possible.” University of Adelaide researchers are hoping that a new computer-based driving simulation will help lead to accurate, low-cost testing of older drivers’ ability to stay safe on the roads.
Reminder that school zones are now back THIS 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.
STUDENTS returned to school on Tuesday April 22 for the second term of the year, with Minister for Roads Terry Mulder reminding all Victorian drivers to be on alert for school speed zones. “Speed limits will be reduced to either 40km/h or 60km/h outside schools in the morning from 8am to 9.30am and in the afternoon from 2.30pm to 4pm (on school days). School speed zone limits are clearly signposted with permanent speed limit signs, advance warning signs, time based signs or electronic variable signs.” The school speed limits applied from Tuesday April 22 to Thursday April 24 in the first week back and from Monday April
28 to Friday June 27 for the remainder of the second school term (except for public holidays). “Individual schools may operate on different days within these periods, but drivers must obey reduced speed limits outside all schools on these days even if an individual school is closed,” Mr Mulder said. “Parents and carers need to take extra care when dropping kids off. If driving, ensure your child is in the appropriate restraint for their age and size, obey the parking restriction signs, keep clear of the children’s crossings and don’t double park.” For more information about school speed zones, go to vicroads.vic.gov.au.

No mention of illegal Dear Editor, I note the people sending in letters to the editor (Letters, April 24) regarding the federal government’s policy on illegal boat arrivals failed to mention once the word “illegal”. The people writing the letters use the term “asylum seekers”. I reject this term when the people who pay people smugglers large sums of cash to jump the queue are risking their lives and attempting to enter Australia illegally. Over 1,000 of these illegal boat people have drowned including children and many more are missing at the hands of people smugglers, who only see this as a business and there are many more missing believed drowned. Both major parties have now the same policy to “stop the boats”. Only the Greens, who continue to argue that people paying people smugglers to come here illegally be allowed to stay, believe this is going to fix the problem. Since the last federal election, the boats have stopped, people have not drowned and the people smugglers are out of business. I have no problem with people coming to Australia as genuine refugees, but they should go through the established process, not come here illegally. I note a news report recently where a person on one of these boats said to the reporter “if I can pay a people smuggler to get to Australia, the government must accept me”. Well, I have news for him and others, the government will decide who comes to Australia and who stays, not the people smugglers and not minority political parties supported by do-gooders, who would like to see an open borders policy introduced. I fully support the government stopping the boats and saving lives. Go Sarah Henderson! Ray Page Torquay

Wind an industry of the future Dear Editor, Surf Coast councillor Eve Fisher should be applauded for calling on the state government to remove restrictive anti-wind farm planning laws. Victoria’s wind energy sector has been strangled recently, with a recent Friends of the Earth study estimating Victoria has missed out on 490 construction jobs, 64 ongoing jobs, $864 million in investment and $10.5 million worth of flow on activity to regional economies – think about the benefits of drought proofing for host farmers, community grants, council rates and indirect spending by construction workers. If you add the potential for wind power to lower the price of your electricity bill, we don’t even have to talk about climate change, and it seems that there are good reasons why Australians rate wind second behind solar as their preferred power source. The Australian Medical Association gives wind power the tick of approval and 20 reviews by credible health bodies into wind turbine sickness conclude that wind energy is clean and safe. Political leaders should start the transition away from coal and start thinking seriously about the industries of the future. Aaron Lewtas Surf Coast Energy Group

Commitment to transparency and engagement

positive or negative, and avoid seeking to simply ‘educate’ the community in accordance with our personal views.
Dear Editor, At its April meeting, Surf Coast Shire council received a notice of motion to advocate for exclusion of “community initiated” wind farms from current legislative prohibitions on developments within two kilometres of a dwelling without the owner’s consent, and within five kilometres of the Great Ocean Road. After publication of the notice of motion, many residents contacted councillors, mainly opposing the motion. Interestingly, at an Anglesea community meeting about the coal mine, residents with whom I discussed the proposal strongly objected to removal of the Great Ocean Road exclusion zone. The notice of motion was, appropriately, withdrawn. To advocate against the interests of many of our residents without consultation would be entirely inconsistent with council’s commitment to transparency and engagement. We will need to ensure any future debate is well-informed, listen to community views whether

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to “Wind farm block claimed to cost millions” in April 17’s edition of the paper. The “wind farm block” or “anti-wind farm laws” this article is referring to is a two kilometre buffer zone of huge industrial-sized very noisy turbines from rural residents homes, not an anti-wind farm law. We lived on a wild headland called Cape Bridgewater on the far south west of the Victorian coast along with wonderful neighbours for many years and in 2006 work began on a wind farm which began turning in 2008. This was well before any publicity of what is now called “wind farm syndrome” and we had no concerns, never entertained the thought of any ill effects, were all quite “green” and happy to be neighbours to this project if the environment would be helped. We were assured by the wind farm company both verbally and several times in writing that we would not be able to hear the turbines. Our house was 1.2 kilometres from the nearest turbine and in some conditions the rhythmic whoosh is loud enough through closed doubleglazed windows to wake you at night and we could feel a vibration at these times in our chest bones every second or so.
After about six months from the turbines turning while having a cup of tea with both my neighbours, we discovered we were all suffering the curious ailment of constantly needing to pee with no real result. This was the first odd thing we noticed and gradually other symptoms (one being migraines) arose. After three years of living near the turbines we moved to Ocean Grove and all symptoms vanished. I went from several migraine headaches a week to none and the peeing came back to normal after three years of pathetic piddles while living near the turbines. From my personal experience I know there is a problem, and until the turbine manufacturers can fix the cause of this “vibration”, (which is what I feel is the cause of problems after long exposure), then the “two kilometre” law should remain. The biggest problem is that we are a very small voice and as the article states, millions of dollars are at stake. Pam Connelly Ocean Grove
The last line of defence Dear Editor, In the April edition of the City of Greater Geelong’s Community Update there is an article about illegal dumping on page 4. On page 7, the mayor promotes plastic water bottles. When the “Mountain to Mouth” extreme arts walk makes its way through Ocean Grove in May, residents will be sculpting environmental footprints out of rubbish collected on the beach, most of which will be plastic bottles. If the mayor wants a “prosperous and sustainable future” he should create a cash for containers scheme rather than adding plastic trash to our ocean that breaks up, gets consumed by marine and birdlife and ultimately ourselves at the end of the food chain. Coastal communities are the last line of defence to stop pollution from entering the ocean. We are trying hard to eliminate single use plastic bags and bottles, while it seems that the city folk are continuing on with the post-World War II, economic-driven throwaway society oblivious to environmental consequences. John Bowman Ocean Grove
SOGPA to hold Grove meeting Dear Editor, On March 2, the Save Ocean Grove Park Again (SOGPA) action group formed after a public meeting about the Park. SOGPA’s aim was to represent community desire to prevent transfer of the park from Trust for Nature to the City of Greater Geelong. When it was announced on March 14 that the transfer talks had ceased, the group arranged a second public meeting to inform the community

about ownership of the park and status of the performance space building. Shortly thereafter, SOGPA disbanded. At the second meeting, on March 23, there were many questions asked by attendees about the performance space. Some questions were answered by members of the Ocean Grove Park Committee, many of whom attended the meeting. However, there were many outstanding questions, most of which are presumed to be answered by the business case previously developed by the park committee for the performance space. At the meeting, the park committee was asked to respond by posting the business case to their website and addressing the list of questions, which were recorded on a whiteboard. It was agreed by all those in attendance that another meeting was needed to have these questions answered. We understand that the park committee members have now decided that they may not attend the next meeting. However, as the meeting convenors, we will honour our promise to hold a follow-up meeting at the Ocean Grove Primary School Hall at 2pm on Sunday May 4. Everybody is welcome.

Buses don’t meet needs Dear Editor, I am a Year 9 student attending Sacred Heart College. I, and many others, have found that there is a lack of buses that accommodate the needs of students travelling out of Geelong. For example, in the morning, I travel from Armstrong Creek to Newtown via the Torquay school bus and the majority of the time, I have to stand. After school is a different story. Students push and shove to get onto the low amount of buses supplied to us, resulting in injuries. After the endeavour to board the bus, we then struggle to find a seat, meaning some of us have to stand even though it’s very dangerous. Those who can’t even find a spot to stand have to catch other schools’ buses despite the constant reminder that we are not welcome. I believe that the current bus situation is unbearable because someone is going to be seriously
injured very soon. The bus stops that these buses pull into are also very unsafe and people have been narrowly missed and even clipped by a bus. This is a result of students shoving to get a limited seat on an already full bus. I have also heard numerous other complaints about the school bus situation. Some of these include the lack of buses to populated areas, overcrowded buses and the concern of safety for themselves, friends and family members. I have also heard teachers state that the bus stops are unsafe and have tried to make it better by patrolling these areas and looking out for inappropriate behaviour. This has helped slightly, but it doesn’t change the fact that there just aren’t enough buses to accommodate for our needs. Holly Kilmartin Armstrong Creek
Misinformation concerns Dear Editor, On March 31, I received an email from the Secretary of the Point Lonsdale Community Association (PLCA) that stated, in part, “a couple of members in recent months observed a drill rig was drilling on the edge of the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve near the Ocean Road boundary. Vehicles from both Stockland and the Moremac Property Group were observed attending the drilling”. It was further suggested that the alleged drilling was in support of Option 4 in the Discussion Paper (on future use options of the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve) out for community consultation. At first, I thought the email was an April Fool’s joke! On April 1, I responded to the PLCA Secretary advising that council had no knowledge of any drilling at the reserve and requested the PLCA Secretary provide additional information to allow council to investigate the claim, including details of the people that witnessed the drilling. To date, no information has been received from the PLCA Secretary in response to my request. Council did contact one of the Moremac Directors (the new owners of “The Point” residential development) who advised they do not own any commercial vehicles with identifying signage and were not involved in any works on or near the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve. Furthermore,
Moremac advised they have no interest in any possible future development at the reserve. At the PLCA meeting held on April 11, the PLCA Secretary indicated it was in fact he who witnessed the drilling approximately six to eight weeks ago and had photographs to support his claim. Again, he was asked to provide the additional information in support of his claims but nothing has been provided to date. Residents and ratepayers will be aware through the recently mailed Lighthouse Reserve bulletin that council is seeking the community’s views on the various options presented for future use of the Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff Lighthouse Reserves. Council is very concerned at the level of misinformation regarding the options related to the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve. Please take time to consider the Discussion Papers and the Frequently Asked Questions on the council website at queenscliffe.vic.gov.au and complete the feedback form or online survey.

A driver and a pedestrian Dear Editor, As a driver and pedestrian, I am surprised at the number of drivers who are ignorant of, or simply flout, the law requiring a vehicle turning at any intersection (other than a roundabout) to give way to any pedestrians crossing the road the vehicle is entering. This law applies in every jurisdiction of Australia and is perhaps the least well understood of our road laws. By way of example, a few days ago my wife and I were crossing Horseshoe Bend Road, in Torquay, near the intersection with Pacific Drive when a large four-wheel drive turned from Pacific Drive and almost ran us down. When I remonstrated with the driver he retorted that “it’s not a pedestrian crossing”! If we are serious about road safety, an education and enforcement program to address this issue is long overdue.

Not surprised Dear Editor, I am not surprised that the Abbott government continues to deal with climate change in a halfhearted way. Indeed, I understand that their shortterm gain takes precedence over responsible leadership. I am not surprised the moral high ground is taken by others. World leaders in the USA, China and Europe are finally making way against the pressures of climate change denial, vested interests and those who dream about the earlier success of the dinosaur smokestack industries. This stance is strengthened by the new IPCC report made public this month. The effects of carbon dioxide and other gases produced by fossil fuels are shown to be coming even faster. It is encouraging that so many Australians, despite the leadership vacuum, continue to “think global and act local”. On the Bellarine Peninsula, demand for renewable energy systems has been overwhelming. Home-based wind generation, solar hot water, photo voltaic panels and geothermal heat-pumps are in high demand. I am not surprised either, that smokestack service providers on the Bellarine Peninsula and elsewhere now limit the installation of solar panels, because, they say, there are too many! I wonder about the consequences for these industries when their disgraceful behaviour is more widely understood. Jim Mason Bellarine Peninsula
Bemused and amused Dear Editor, I find myself bemused and amused that some in our community would go to the trouble to use a doggie bag to pick up a warm steamer that their lovely pet has deposited in our well kept reserves on the Surf Coast, and then out of sight to the public drop it just off the path. Use a bin, people! Rob Mac Surf Coast

Pregnancy diagnosis – are blood tests any good? BY DEAN WEBSTER IN A perfect world you would be able to accurately identify whether insemination or bull mating has been successful, simply, cheaply, quickly and with minimal handling. It would be great if you could get the results of such a test in time to vet check, resynchronise and still get the cow pregnant at the next cycle. And wouldn’t it be nice to know whether the calf was male or female and when it was due? Back in the real world, there are a range of options for pregnancy diagnosis that offer some of these advantages but not all and the challenge is to choose which one is best for your farm and your goals. Pregnancy diagnosis has a number of different functions: • Monitor reproductive success • Identify non-pregnant cows for resubmission, carry over, induction or culling • Calculate due dates to manage dying-off, transition feeding and feed budgeting. Early pregnancy diagnosis allows you to age the pregnancy which is very important information, allowing you to calculate due dates and plan feeding and herd management accordingly. There has been recent interest in a pregnancy blood test based on detection of pregnancy-associated
glycoproteins (PAGs) in blood, according to DEPI’s Sarah Chaplin. “This appears to offer greater convenience than rectal palpation as they can be carried out by farm staff without having to arrange a vet visit,” Ms Chaplin said. “The test costs between $4.60$6.00 per cow, accuracy is good and the turnaround for results is two-three days. “There are a few limitations which need to be considered if you are weighing up whether to use this test. “The PAG blood test can tell you whether or not a cow is pregnant but it can’t age the pregnancy. “This means you won’t know which cows are between four to six weeks and need to be re-checked, and you won’t be able to calculate expected calving dates unless you are combining the test with very accurate joining dates. “On balance, pregnancy diagnosis, either rectal palpation or ultrasound, by an experienced technician represents better value for money. “However, using the pregnancy blood tests may have a role if you are not interested in these additional benefits, if you only want to confirm the pregnancy status of individual cows or where you don’t have access to an experienced pregnancy tester.” For further information, contact your vet or call Sarah Chaplin on 0439 275 896.
Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh with Aaron Sanderson from Young Agribusiness Professionals and Victorian Young Farmers.
Helping agriculture’s next generation BY DEAN WEBSTER A NEW pilot program will provide a young food and fibre professional with the chance to accompany the Victorian delegation on a Super Trade Mission to South East Asia in June. Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said the state government’s pilot Travel Support Program was also offering up to $5,000 to the chosen candidate for travel costs. “This program will help the next generation of food and fibre producers and agribusiness professionals to capitalise on Victoria’s growing export markets,” Mr Walsh said. “We know Victoria is well positioned to capture opportunities emerging from
Asia’s growth but there is a real need to ensure the next generation has the right skills and knowledge for Victoria to remain internationally competitive. “By accompanying the Victorian government’s delegation at the next Super Trade Mission, the chosen candidate will gain exposure to export markets while meeting role models in the industry they can learn from. “Depending on the success of the pilot program there may be opportunities in the future for more young food and fibre professionals to attend. “The Victorian Coalition government is committed to supporting the next generation of food and fibre producers. “This support includes The Grow Your Food and Fibre Career initiative which
helps young professionals expand their agriculture knowledge, both here and overseas. “I have set a target for Victoria’s food and fibre producers to double production by 2030, and supporting our next generation will help ensure the industry’s long-term, sustainable growth.” Applications for the Travel Support Program are open until May 16 to all financial members of the Victorian Young Farmers (VYF) or the Young Agribusiness Professionals (YAPs), aged 18 or over. To join VYF or YAPs, visit their respective websites or call the DEPI young farmer coordinator on 9637 9153. Eligible young professionals can also apply by going to depi.vic.gov.au/grow.

RURAL ROUND-UP
Geelong livestock market report BY DEAN WEBSTER THIS week’s yarding of 390 cattle at Geelong saw values for young cattle firm with the top price realising $1,092 or 210 cents per kilogram for steers sold on account of R. Grinter of Wallington. Livestock agent Will Richardson said that the market was firm with cows selling to $1,041.25 and vealers slightly dearer. Frank Walker from Gheringhap was
pleased with 165 cents per kilo for his pen of five young Angus weaner heifers that averaged 236 kilograms. Frank said that after coming through a tough start to autumn and having to hand feed his cows and calves it was a good result to achieve $390 per head. Graeme McCartney from Bellbrae also achieved a great result with a pen of unjoined Murray Grey cows making up to $1,000 each and a Lim cross cow achieving $1,041.25.
Graeme was rapt with the result and said that the girls had produced some ripping calves but it was time to lighten the load coming into winter. All classes of veal firmed on last sales rates: Steer veal (grain) selling to 190 cents per kilogram Steer veal (milk) selling to 201 cents per kilogram Heifer veal (milk) selling to 210 cents per kilogram Heifer veal (grain) selling to 210 cents per kilogram Heifer veal (grass) selling to 180 cents per kilogram The yarding of 1,923 sheep and lambs saw values for sheep remain firm to $5 cheaper with two tooth and lambs firm. Best prime lambs sold to $160 for a draft of 35 lambs sold on account of Mansfield and Harvey of Fyansford. Other sheep prices: Two Tooth - $150 Cross Bred Ewes - $112 Merino Wethers - $118 Merino Ewes - $115

On the beat WITH TORQUAY / JAN JUC NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
AT THE area’s local Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) meeting last month, the Police Liaison officer gave us some worrying news. There was big increase of thefts from cars around Torquay outside the holiday period. This is apparently because the kind of people who look for “easy pickings” have noticed that we are still fairly careless about locking our cars. They usually look for the ones that are left unlocked and move on if faced with ones they need to break into. So, here is the Police information again.
Theft from cars – the never-ending story! There are two types of car thieves: the opportunist and the professional. What they have in common though is that they can steal a car in less than a minute. The opportunist is a person who may see your car as a means of transport, a joy ride, or to use in committing another type of crime. Often, when a car has been stolen by an opportunist and is recovered, it is returned to the owner in a damaged condition. Professional car thieves are normally well organised, work in teams and are either after specific car parts or intend to change your car’s identity, to resell it later. If your car is stolen: • Report it to police immediately. • Give police the registration number, make, model and colour of the vehicle. • Notify police of the location and time of disappearance. • Notify your insurance company immediately. • Tips to help you prevent vehicle theft • Cars get stolen all the time so you can never guarantee it will not happen to you. Here are some tips to help prevent would-be thieves.
• Never leave keys in the ignition when your vehicle is unattended. • Close all windows and lock all doors before leaving your car unattended. • Lock your car when paying for fuel. • Do not leave valuables within view, lock them in the boot or take them with you. • Do not leave registration papers, driver’s licence or other papers or cards in an unattended car this could advise a thief that the home address of the owner is unattended at the time. • Do not have your personal address on tags attached to car keys. • Do not hide spare car keys anywhere on the car.
numerous corporate and community partners, will be providing Victorians the opportunity of securing their vehicle number plates with safety screws. The principle of the “one way” screws is that once applied they require a special tool to undo or remove them. It is hoped that such positive measures will see a reduction in the number of number plate thefts. Torquay Jan Juc Neighbourhood Watch will be holding a Safe Plate Day at Bunnings in November.
Theft from your car
Products available to help prevent car theft
Belongings being stolen from cars is arguably one of the most under reported crimes within our community. Victims of this crime invariably: • Are not insured to cover the loss or have an excess attached to their policy which exceeds the value of the loss. • Refuse to lose their no claim bonus by claiming for their loss. Tips to help you prevent theft from your car: • Engrave or mark your accessories and valuables with the letter ‘V’ and your driver’s licence number. • When leaving your valuables in a car, do not hide them upon arrival as thieves could be monitoring the car park. Instead place handbags out of sight prior to parking. • Do not leave loose change within view. Thieves will do hundreds of dollars of damage to steal small amounts of money.
There are a number of products you can install in your car to help prevent car theft. While you can never completely eliminate car theft, taking these measures can help to deter would-be thieves: • Alarm systems • Bonnet locks • Door locks • Immobilisers • Starter ignition fuel system • Ignition shields • Parking barriers • Steering wheel locks • Transmission locks • Vehicle monitoring and tracking devices • Wheel clamps • Window etching To conduct a safety assessment of your car see the Virtual Tours page on the Neighbourhood Watch website.

A message from Victorian NHW CEO Gill Metz This year is shaping up to be another very busy year for NHW, with significant projects and partnerships being developed and strengthened. NHW partnered with Crime Stoppers just before Christmas, to support the Bushfire Arson Campaign. The power of partnerships and working together with the community has been very evident in this project. The number of fires this year and the link to the program has seen NHW in the media in many areas of the state increasing our profile of being relevant and active. NHW has also met with Scouts, Guides and Youth Affairs with an aim to better understand opportunities available to partner and work with youth in the crime prevention and community safety sphere. NHW is also getting increased publicity this year, with our monthly radio adverts on 3AW. These adverts are played during the third week of every month for the duration of the week. To date these have covered home, car and online safety. The adverts can also be found on the NHW website. There will be much to share and learn from each other as these projects progress and grow and I encourage you all to share your ideas and get active and proactive.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER PREPARE to be challenged as the Torquay Theatre Troupe presents their latest high-drama production, Twelve Angry Jurors from May 15. The suspenseful, emotionally charged jury room drama is directed by Geelong Rep’s Geoff Gaskill, and has been adapted by Sherman L. Sergel from the 1954 teleplay Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose. In the play, a young man stands accused of fatally stabbing his father, and his fate now lies in the hands of his peers, 12 men and women from all walks of life, each with his or her own agenda, fears and personal demons. A guilty verdict carries the death penalty.
The drama is set with the 12 jurors in a room during one hot summer’s day. The case has lasted six days and each of the jurors hold the life of an (unseen) accused man in their hands, initially it seems the case is open and shut. Then doubt creeps in. The individual personalities of the jurors explode as the issues are presented and debated. As the evidence is painstakingly scrutinised, tensions mount and tempers rise. People who are on this jury bring their opinions, prejudices, concerns, and compassion into the jury room. This is true of all juries, and it is what makes Twelve Angry Jurors a confronting and
fascinating piece of theatre. By the end we are left with the lingering suspicion that though our jury may be unanimous, we, the audience, are not so sure. What is their verdict? The courtroom drama is, and remains, much-loved by writers, filmmakers and audiences. Many serious writers have turned their hands to it at one time or another, including greats such as Agatha Christie and Harper Lee. Torquay Theatre Troupe vice president Gay Bell said the show is shaping up to be one of the most suspenseful they’ve ever produced. “We’re getting down to the nitty gritty now and its coming together very well.
“We’ve had this play at the back of our minds for a while so we’re excited that it’s finally happening. “I think the audience will walk away thinking about human nature and how people act under pressure. “It’s really interesting. The prejudice in these 12 characters is present from the beginning and although it was first written in the 50s, the themes are still incredibly relevant today.” The Torquay Theatre Troupe’s Twelve Angry Jurors is showing at 16 Price Street, Torquay on May 15, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 at 8pm. There will also be matinee showings on May 17 and 18 at 2pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for concession card holders and can be purchased from Surf Sight Optical or by phoning Marie on 5261 9035.

Traditional Indian cuisine now in Torquay BY TIFFANY PILCHER CHEF Shiv Kumar Mamotra has brought the best of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse range of flavours and cooking techniques to the Surf Coast with his new restaurant, Sizzling Indian Tandoori. The restaurant opened last month on Bell Street in Torquay, and serves up a huge range of delicious, and traditionally prepared meals originating predominately from Northern India. Specialising in classic dishes tikka masala, tandoori, lamb cutlets and butter chicken, Mr Mamotra brings a wealth of knowledge from his training with five-star chefs in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northeast. Most of his dishes are cooked in the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional clay tandoor oven, to give them, a distinct and flavoursome taste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes the food so special, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the proper way to cook and it adds so much flavour,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had such a great response from customers so far, one even said he had been looking for food like this for more than 15 years.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mamotra had been waiting for the right time to move south and open his restaurant after visiting the Great Ocean Road three years ago in search of excellent quality Indian food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it. I thought right away I want to bring great food and what I had learned from some of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chefs here so everyone
can have it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling great, our customers can really tell the difference with our food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasing to see them leaving so happy and coming back again and again.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mamotra said since moving to Torquay, he has also mastered the perfect butter chicken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have made it so much ! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never seen it be as popular as it is here, so I have been making it non-stop and have perfected the recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My customers tell me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best they have tasted, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I put so much passion into my cooking.â&#x20AC;? Sizzling Indian Tandoori restaurant is open seven nights a week from 5.30pm at 46 Bell Street, Torquay. Their dine-in and take-away menu offers a vast range of dishes including vegetarian options, seafood, flatbreads, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meals, desserts, drinks and banquets.

Much ado about merlot
IF YOU’VE ever watched the movie Sideways, a drama/ comedy based around Miles and his friend Jack’s week long wine, food and golf sojourn in California’s wine country, you’ll be familiar with Mile’s hatred of a muchloved humble grape variety – Merlot. In the oft quoted scene, Mile’s lets fly about Merlot: “No, if anybody orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any $%#@ing Merlot!” In the movie, he loved Pinot Noir, and spoke reverently of its haunting glories. His statement’s on Merlot in the movie saw sales of Merlot in the US drop 40 per cent! Sales of Pinot Noir went through the roof. Which leads me to the fact that I’ve been really surprised at the level of interest in Merlot at the moment, more so than usual. Maybe it’s the season? Pinot Noir, too, seems to garner a similar feeling at this time of year; I guess with the onset of autumn, it can make you look for a medium bodied red that’s soft, and comforting. There’s an earthiness and a plushness to these varieties that evokes this change in seasons. Merlot is grown in most parts of the world like Italy, Spain, Argentina, Chile, America, New Zealand and Australia, but its spiritual home is Bordeaux. Two distinct styles seem to define the variety, an international/new world style that is picked late to gain more ripeness and plushness, as opposed to the Bordeaux style where it is harvested earlier to emphasise acidity and structure in the wine. So, without further ado, here’s three Merlot’s to get to know.
Grant Burge “Hillcot” Barossa Merlot 2012 ($23) Grant Burge wines are much celebrated and renowned for their richness and robust flavours that are in keeping with the Barossa’s style, and the vines for this wine were planted back in 1980 so they’ve definitely got maturity on their side. However, I’ll be totally honest with you and

say that for me, this isn’t my style of Merlot. I know a great many that would love the richness of fruit at play here, with lashings of oak to boot. Big, bold, deep and ripe with definitive dark cherry and plum fruit flavours leading the charge, it’s certainly a substantial red for lovers of the style, showing more grip than softness on the finish.
Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Merlot 2010 ($30) Merlot comes across as a temperamental variety in the valley, though all the examples I’ve seen over the years have been pretty good I must say. Dense, textured and fleshy yet still showing cool climate elegance and finesse, think briar/cherry fruits with black currant fleshy feel on the palate with a hint of vanilla and a tinge of stalky/ green notes on finish, but overall quite palate filling and flavoursome. Coldstream Hills winery was established in 1985 by James Halliday, yes the one and the same, he foresaw the potential of the Yarra Valley early on, going on to plant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. All the wines produced are of a very high quality and the merlot is always an interesting wine, this latest vintage continuing the theme… click like.
Irvine ‘Springhill’ Barossa Merlot 2010 ($20) The “King of Merlot” James Irvine specialises in this variety and this “entry level” wine from their Springhill vineyard in Eden Valley is terrific value with tell-tale Barossa dark chocolate and cherry/berry notes on the nose with quite a concentrated, richly fruited palate showing plenty of texture and depth even if a bit one dimensional. However, I left it to watch over three nights and the palate had fleshed out with plump softness and generosity and more complexity.

Comedians to crack up Beach Hotel BY TIFFANY PILCHER A COMEDIC triple treat is coming to The Beach Hotel, Jan Juc this weekend with top acts Des Dowling, Tom Siegert and Troy Kinne set to perform three hilarious routines. Dowling left a television reporting career in 1997 to take up comedy and after quickly gathering a strong following, he never looked back. He has worked in breakfast and talkback radio at major metropolitan stations and recently appeared on ABC TV’s comedy hit, Agony Uncles.
Kinne has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents on the circuit today. He has gigged around the country and ventured as far as New York where he performed at world famous venues like Stand Up New York and the Gotham Comedy Club. Another exciting young gun of Australian comedy, Tom Siegert has a hilarious wide-eyed style all his own. Off stage, he has created two comedy pilots for Channel 7 and works as a writer for The Footy Show on Channel 9. The trio perform together regularly and Dowling said they’ve built up chemistry
as a troublemaking triple headline act. “We perform individually but I think we complement each other because – dare I say – we’re all pretty strong acts. We’ve all been doing this for 10 or 15 years or more. “We’re looking forward to it. The show will be fun and a little bit naughty – not filthy – but definitely a little bit naughty.” Comedy Night at The Beach Hotel is on Saturday May 3 at 7.30 for an 8pm start. Tickets are $60 each and include the show and a two course dinner. Bookings are essential, to book, phone Kirsty on 5261 5111.
Comedian Des Downing is bringing the laughs to The Beach Hotel, Jan Juc this weekend with fellow funny men Tom Siegert and Troy Kinne.
Flowers’ art blooms across the bay BY TIFFANY PILCHER
Bellarine artist, Jane Flowers’ work Boats Floating – Blue was one of four of her pieces featured at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Art Show last month.
BELLARINE artist Jane Flowers was featured in prominent Mornington Peninsula exhibition, the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Art Show over Easter weekend. Flowers, who is known for painting distinctive colours, patterns and textures, created four pieces for the show, focusing on yachting in Port Phillip Bay. As a keen sailor herself, she said being out on the water provides endless inspiration for her work. “The freedom of being out at sea and the
camaraderie of working as a team is a great source of inspiration for me. “I aimed to capture the spirit of man versus sea, the difference between the open ocean and the work we put in sailing across it. “I often spend time sailing around Queenscliff and Sorrento so the paintings show images of both sides of the bay.” Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron past commodore and art show committee member Jenni Maclean said the show was an overall success and having Flowers contribute this year was a drawcard for
many art lovers. “The fifth Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Art Show was an outstanding success. “Over 1,000 people visited the show and 100 art works were sold which were both 50 per cent up on the 2013 Art Show results. “Jane Flowers’ passion for yachting is vividly captured in her canvasses and of great appeal to art show visitors.” Flowers’ next solo exhibition will be held at Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery from July 5 with opening drinks on the same day from 2pm to 4pm.

Celtic quartet to pull on Port’s heartstrings BY TIFFANY PILCHER
Ireland’s Chris Newman, Nollaig Casey, Arty McGlynn and Maire Ni Chathasaigh of The Heartstrings Quartet are heading to Portarlington for the National Celtic Festival.
ONE of the greatest Celtic supergroups to come out of Ireland, The Heartstring Quartet, are touring Australia for the first time and will take the stage in Portarlington as part of the National Celtic Festival next month. The quartet is comprised of established solo artists and sisters, Maire Ni Chathasaigh and Nollaig Casey and their husbands, Chris Newman and Arty McGlynn, respectively. With an extraordinary amount of talent between them as well as their close family ties, they inevitably began collaborating in 2008. “It was a natural progression for us to work together. We’re always improvising and coming up with new things to do musically, so to come together as a group was simply a formality,” Ni Chathasaigh said. “Quartets tend to be soloists with back-up musicians but we’re lucky that the four of us are able to support each other equally. It’s a true quartet. “Musically, working together allows us to create more complex arrangements and harmonies and doing that with the people who are closest to me makes me feel alive.” Each member of The Heartstring Quartet is individually renowned in their area of speciality.
As a teenager in Co Cork in the early 1970s, Ni Chathasaigh invented an entirely new style of playing harp that quickly caught on with her contemporaries and the younger generation of harpers. A multiple All-Ireland and Pan-Celtic winner, she also received Irish music’s most prestigious award, Traditional Musician of the Year in 2001. Casey has graced two of Ireland’s most groundbreaking bands, Planxty and Coolfin. She made her Carnegie Hall Debut in 2006 as a soloist, toured the world with the hit show Riverdance and performed at the 2003 Special Olympics Opening Ceremony. A soloist in over 20 feature films, she’s recorded with Enya, Van Morrison, Sinead O’Connor, Rod Stewart, and many more. Newman is a prolific composer, arranger and record producer and has played with luminaries of many musical worlds including folk, jazz and comedy, while McGlynn has been touring professionally from the age of 15 and was lead guitarist in Van Morrison’s band for many years. The National Celtic Festival will be held in Portarlington from June 6 to 9. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit nationalcelticfestival.com.

Hatband to relive the folk years BY TIFFANY PILCHER TAKE a trip back in time to the glory years of folk music with the Drop of a Hat Band as they present their latest show at the Potato Shed on Tuesday. The concert, The Folk Years, will be part of the
Drop of a Hatband are set to perform the greatest and most significant folk songs from the 60s and 70s at the Potato Shed on Tuesday morning.
Potato Shed’s Morning Showtimes program and features tributes to 60s and 70s folk greats Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, The Seekers, Byrds and more. Drop of a Hatband contains some of our region’s finest talents including singer and guitarist Geoff Sinnbeck, folk diva Shirley Power, ace bassist Sandy Brady, multi-instrumentalist Matiss Schubert and MC Colin Mockett’s quirky blend of harmony, humour and history. Together, they will transport the audience back to the time of peace, love and exquisite music. Mr Mockett said he will give short introduction to each song, giving an explanation of its significance in a time of great social change. “The music evokes that time of change – the flower-power folk music era. “Songs from artists like Dylan and Baez started, and then fuelled a wave of folk songs that actually made a difference – they were instrumental in that (then) youthful surge of protest that brought an end to the Vietnam War. “They also opened many doors for the artists of today.” Drop of a Hatband will perform The Folk Years at Drysdale’s Potato Shed on Tuesday May 6 at 10.30am. There will be a free morning tea and interval refreshments from Drysdale’s Bakers Delight. Tickets are on sale now for $15 each, to book, phone the Potato Shed box office on 5251 1998.

Score some of Jeff’s best from Boom Gallery BY TIFFANY PILCHER A RARE opportunity to own a piece of the coast’s pop culture history has presented itself, with local artist Jeff Raglus putting many of his original band and t-shirt prints up for sale at Boom Gallery this month. The Aireys Inlet artist has been doing posters for bands as far back as he can remember, in fact, it’s what launched his artistic career. Posters and t-shirt designs were the foundations for a career that would become much bigger. This exhibition specifically focuses on some of his local output from the last 20 years he has spent living on the Surf Coast. Included are graphics for cult surf label Mambo, original logos and parts of Schnorky the play, posters for gigs in Lorne, Torquay, Geelong and more. After failing art twice in high school, Raglus left early, bought an airbrush and spray painted surfboards before joining iconic graphic design company Mambo. He worked there for most of the 90s and honed his “surf folk pop” style. He has also worked as a graphic artist for Swatch watches, the Sydney Olympics, the Arena Theatre Co, Apollo Bay and Queenscliff Music Festivals and much more. Raglus is one of a unique group of contemporary artists who divide their practice equally between music and the visual arts.
A wide range of iconic t-shirt and poster prints by Jeff Raglus are on display and for sale at Boom Gallery this month.
Encompassing all that is pop, Jeff’s work constantly blurs the boundaries between fine and graphic art. Jeff Raglus – Graphics and Original Poster Work 1994-2014 is showing from today to May 24 at Boom Gallery, 11 Rutland Street, Newtown.For more information, visit boomgallery.com.au or jeffraglus.com.

WELL I’ll be pickled! Talk about an over abundance of produce from harvesting the veggie patch. Just what was I going to do with all that zucchini, not to mention the last basketfuls of tomatoes and leeks? This last little burst of mild weather seemed to give the plants one more shot in the arm to give up every last growth spurt, and frankly I thought my preserving days had truly finished at the end of March? But I couldn’t bear not to use what I had at hand and besides I just love the sound of the word piccalilli? This word brings to mind thrifty housewives, Grandmas, countrywomen, cardigans, British ploughman’s lunches and gentle times of yesteryear? Don’t you think it quite nostalgic? The Brits love their piccalilli in much the same way as many of us Aussies pine for vegemite when we’re away from home! It is thought that the recipe derived from a recipe of 1758 of “paco-lilla” or Indian pickle – turmeric is a characteristic ingredient which creates the usually bright yellow colouring. British piccalilli is made from various vegetables, mostly cauliflower and marrow, seasoned with mustard. It is widely used as an accompaniment for sausages, bacon, eggs, toast, cheese, and tomatoes, or with cold meats such as ham.
Another “quaint” term is “chow-chow” an American pickled relish – reportedly based on the French word chou for cabbage, or it is possible the name derives from the ingredient chayote, which is itself known as chow chow in India. We know “chayote” as chokos – the green gourd or melon-cucumber-like vegetable. Chow Chow is made from green and red tomatoes, cabbage, onions, carrots and beans. Sometimes cauliflower and peas are used and as a relish, it is served with burgers, hotdogs and fish cakes. The zucchini had grown just a little too large for me to enjoy as a vegetable and so making a pickle seemed the answer. I referred to the lovely handwritten recipe recently given to me by Helene, with the instruction to firstly slice the zucchini. The batch of relish I made was still quite “firm” after the prescribed cooking time, but with longer cooking a consistency more like “chutney” will result. Bottle when slightly cooled into sterilised jars – this is scrumptious with good strong tasty cheese or cold meats. Store in the pantry, but refrigerate jar once opened. Making piccalilli is almost a “meditative” project, with the various stages of slicing, standing, waiting, bottling – it has a rhythm and tempo that suits the autumn days, don’t you think?

Potato Shed to host Argentinian feast ACCLAIMED performance artist Moira Finucane is making a whirlwind visit to the Bellarine this week to present a very limited run of her sensational new show, The Feast of La Gypsy Argentina. For three nights only on May 1, 2 and 3, the Potato Shed will be transformed into a wild cantina festooned in twinkling lights, coloured lanterns, velvet roses, chequered tablecloths, carafes of wine and a sizzling barbecue. Finucane’s riot of sumptuous food, fantastical stories, exotic tango, audience dancing and fabulous local produce is something to behold. The Feast of La Gypsy Argentina is one of Finucane’s most celebrated creations. It’s an outrageous Latin adventure featuring internationally renowned gypsy musician Jessica
Guille, king of salsa Paul Cordiero and Parisian dance siren Holly Durant. The outrageous, poetic and sensual tales, wild Latin dancing, sangria sipping, taste sensations, fabulous frocks, cha cha dancing (they’ll teach you!) and laughter will create an unforgettable adventure for the whole community. The Feast of La Gypsy Argentina will hit Drysdale’s Potato Shed at 8pm on Thursday May 1, Friday May 2 and Saturday May 3. The performance runs for 2 hours including a 20 minute interval. Tickets are $36 for adults, $32 for concession card holders or $28 for groups of 10 or more and Potato Shed VIPs. To book, call 5251 1998.
Moira Finucane performs in The Feast of La Gypsy Argentina.
Gallaher brings a little love to Musical Mornings BY TIFFANY PILCHER TENOR Simon Gallaher is returning to GPAC’s Musical Mornings program this year with a new show paying tribute to the great composers of the 20th Century on May 7 and 8. The show, Secret Love, will include classic love songs such as “Unchained Melody”, “Night and Day”, “Embraceable You” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Audiences are invited to sit back and enjoy Gallaher’s incredible tenor voice and musical accompaniment by Kevin Hocking on piano.
Gallaher is a theatrical star, singer, musician, pianist, hit song-writer, and most recently a respected theatrical producer and entrepreneur. Born in Brisbane, Gallaher is one of Australia’s best known performers, having had his own television program in early 1980s and performed in numerous stage productions around the country. Only months after his successful concert debut in 1977, Gallaher’s career was launched nationally through a song contest on television’s The Mike Walsh Show, which won him his first recording contract. This was followed by a tour across Australia
with Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds and a 37year career in the thick of local and international show business. Simon is on the Board of Trustees to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, has recently been appointed Chair of Harvest Rain and is also on the board of the Queensland Theatre Company. Simon Gallaher will perform Secret Love at GPAC on May 7 and 8 at 10.30am, with free morning tea before the show. Tickets are on sale for all shows at $20 each from the GPAC box office or online at gpac.org.au.

Plan to always be well BY BEC WINKLER FOR most people, a visit to the doctor or healthcare practitioner is because something is â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrongâ&#x20AC;?. They may not be feeling well or something hurts. Am I right? We are all so busy, stressed and overwhelmed, that for the most part, we take our health for granted. Not until something goes wrong or we fall in a heap do we stop and listen to our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning bells. But usually by that point, a lot of the damage has ready occurred, whether infection has set in, or our immune system is well and truly in overdrive or disease has begun in earnest. As a naturopath, I encourage all of my patients to have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wellness planâ&#x20AC;?. These are things we can do every day to maintain good health, listening to our body and having a plan of action when things are going south.
There is not one generic wellness plan for every person. What helps maintain oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, physical and mental, depends on a huge array of factors. Diet, genetics and family history, stress and exercise levels, environmental factors like sunlight, toxin and chemical exposure, occupation, the list is endless. Also, every person has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;achilles healâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to their health. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;weaknessâ&#x20AC;? for lack of a better word. Whenever they get run down they might get a sinus infection, for others itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold sores and for someone else it might lead to digestive upset. When I am creating a wellness plan, I take all of these factors into consideration when recommending particular foods, exercise types and supplementation. Family and medical history also play a huge role in maintenance. For example those with family history of heart disease can make modifications to their diet and focus on particular nutrients to help protect their
Commissioner appointed to hear mental health complaints BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state government has touted the appointment of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Mental Health Complaints Commissioner as a landmark in the delivery of public mental health services. Lynne Coulson Barr was announced as the holder of the position last week, and will take office on July 1 when Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Mental Health Act 2014 comes into effect. She said her initial priorities would be to establish practices that responded to the extensive feedback
received from people with mental illness, families and service providers on the need for new approaches to complaints. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My vision is for every complaint to be seen by services as an opportunity to hear the voice of people living with mental illness and their families, to safeguard rights and to improve public mental health services for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Minister for Mental Health Mary Wooldridge said the state government was investing $3.8 million to the establishment of the commissioner to ensure complaints regarding

public mental health services were addressed and resolved in a timely and responsive manner. She said Ms Coulson Barr had a deep understanding of the challenges faced by people with mental illness, their families and carers, as well as experience working with the services and peak bodies that will engage with the commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commissioner is part of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new mental health legislative framework and is essential to improving how we treat and care for Victorians with mental illness.â&#x20AC;?

heart. Monitoring of their blood pressure and having regular check-ups with their GP is imperative. Although we have all heard this a million times, our body really is our temple. We are only given one and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your job to look after it the very best you can. We are not invincible. Our body will start to deteriorate over time, but the rate of deterioration and extent of disease is largely dependent on how well you look after yourself. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kick yourself in 30-years time and find yourself saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I had of looked after myself when I was youngâ&#x20AC;?. Start today. Basics of anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellness plan should include some physical activity at least every second day, sleep at least eight hours per night, three well-balanced meals per day with healthy snacks in between, 30ml of water per kg of body weight, fresh air, sunlight and doing things that make you happy. This is my best prescription for staying â&#x20AC;&#x153;wellâ&#x20AC;?.

NEW COURSES!
New partnership to tackle smoking rates in Geelong HEALTH Minister David Davis recently launched a new two year partnership between Healthy Together Geelong, Geelong Football Club and Quit Victoria designed to encourage Geelong residents to quit smoking. Joining Geelong captain Joel Selwood, Mr Davis said the partnership was part of the state government’s Healthy Together Victoria initiative. “This prevention effort is taking significant steps towards improving people’s health where they live, learn, work and play, including here in Geelong. “We are encouraging Geelong residents to be more

physically active, eat better and now we are taking action to provide more support for Geelong residents to quit smoking.” About 4,000 lives are lost each year in Victoria as a result of smoking and it costs $2.4 billion in direct health costs every year. “In Geelong, the current adult smoking rate is over 20 per cent, which means about 33,600 Geelong residents are smokers. This is much higher than the state average of 13.3 per cent.” For more information on Healthy Together Geelong, visit geelongaustralia.com.au/healthygeelong.

MOORE WEEKLY STARS Personal relations and money matters are in the firing line this week Rams, as you have a disagreement with a loved one; or experience some difficulty with a joint financial arrangement. With Mars your ruling planet still reversing through your relationship zone, it will take a touch of tact and oodles of diplomacy (not your strong suit!) to get things back on track again.
Wednesday’s stern aspects are likely to put cranky Crabs into hyper-sensitive mode. So be super selective about who you mix with, as you’re liable to misread signals and misunderstand motives. There’s some respite on Saturday which is super for working and socialising but process information carefully on Sunday. If you respond too quickly, you’re likely to over-react.
Venus and Mars face off on the weekend, which sends ripples of discontent through a major relationship. Attached Taureans – your love life looks problematic, as you and your partner seem to be heading in opposite directions. Take the time to re-connect and find some middle ground. Single Bulls – you’re looking for love but are you sending out the wrong message?
You’re very focused on professional projects at the moment but don’t put all your eggs in the one work basket. Diversify your interests, expand your contacts, experiment with creative ideas and keep your options open. Avoid making important decisions on Sunday, when your Cat confidence takes a dive and you’re inclined to negative self-talk and gloomy thinking.
Mercury moves into your sign mid-week so you’re in the mood to mix and mingle, socialise and circulate, email, post, text and tweet. Plus let others know that you also need the time to tackle individual projects. On Sunday, don’t jump to conclusions about a child, teenager or friend. If you look into the situation more deeply, then you’ll see things from a broader perspective.
Mercury moves into your career zone so strengthen the lines of communication with colleagues, clients or customers. You’re at your versatile Virgo best on Saturday when you’re in the mood to work, analyse, study, clean, tidy, solve tricky problems and multi-task to the max. On Sunday, things become confusing and disorganised as nebulous Neptune scrambles signals.

Avoid the strong temptation to blow the budget with some spontaneous binge shopping. Saturn cautions you to be unusually sensible, and save rather than spend. Librans are master diplomats, with the ability to calm and console those around them. You’ll certainly be working overtime this weekend, as you soothe a worried family member or a stressed work mate.
Your ambitious goals may seem unreachable but don’t be discouraged. With plenty of planning and persistence, you can make your dreams come true. You’re keen to work hard this weekend but don’t let your perfectionist streak get out of control. Consider the wise words of birthday great Salvador Dali: “Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them.”
This week is fabulous for taking a complicated situation and examining it under your forensic microscope. You’ll impress others with what you discover! But on Sunday the sun opposes Saturn, which increases your tendency to be critical of yourself and others. Strive to keep your Scorpio sting under control, otherwise it will be a long and draining day – for everyone!
You have an eclectic array of talents but they won’t truly blossom until you nurture them with the help of a teacher or mentor. And when will they appear? When the student is ready! Expect some communication problems on Sunday but don’t worry about living up to the expectations of others. You’ll never fit the mold of what they think you should be. Enjoy being uniquely Aquarian.
On Tuesday, the sun and Jupiter activate your adventurous gene so it’s time to experiment and explore, as you seize the day. Mercury then marches through your relationship zone, from May 8-29. Attached Archers – get talking with your spouse. Singles – look beyond the exterior package that a potential partner presents. If you can’t communicate well, then it’s not going to last.
When it comes to money, avoid making impulsive decisions that land you deeper in debt. What looks like a divine deal now could end up being a financial fiasco further down the track. Sunday is super for artists, actors, writers and musicians, as your creativity takes flight. Be inspired by fellow Fish the great Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Grubbers triumph under lights in Torquay BY JAMES TAYLOR
Grubbers coach Shane Jack lays out the plan for his players. Photo: PETER MARSHALL
OCEAN Grove has maintained its unbeaten start to the 2014 BFL season by downing Torquay by 27 points under lights at Spring Creek Reserve. The Grubbers took a nine-point lead into quartertime and were never headed. Max Rooke and Travis Gavin each kicked four goals. Michael Sleep-Dalton and Isaac Baker kicked five each for the Tigers. Queenscliff has finally broken its duck after beating Anglesea in a tough contest that saw scores stay within a couple of goals all day. Daniel Degois booted five for the Coutas in his side’s ninepoint win. Geelong Amateur has taken top spot after
thumping Modewarre by a margin worthy of Lord Nelson. Rowan McSparron kicked six in the 111-point victory, with five-goal efforts from fellow Ammos players Riley Ferguson and Tom Balding. Portarlington could not repeat its efforts in round three and went down to Drysdale by 132 points. Ben Carmichael and James Chandler each kicked four for the Hawks. Barwon Heads players Daniel Hovey and Brandon Backwell had a day out against Newcomb, bagging eight goals each as the Seagulls racked up a 157-point win. Christopher Tilson kicked four for the Power. For full results and fixtures for all grades in the BFL, see page 101 or head to aflbarwon.com.au.
Jongewaard wins fifth giant odyssey Anglesea netballers flying CHRIS Jongewaard has continued his reign over the 100 kilometre Giant Odyssey mountain bike marathon in Forrest Victoria with another win on the weekend, his fifth title at the event. Jongewaard took a strong lead right from the start and the chasers couldn’t make up enough ground on him. He finished five minutes in front. It was a hot contest for second place with Shaun Lewis (Maverick Series leader) and Adrian Jackson jostling the whole way around the course. In the end, it was Lewis who was victorious in a photo finish. Jongewaard, from South Australia, finished in 4:27:19. Lewis from ACT and Jackson from Ivanhoe, Victoria finished in 4:32:32. “The trails are unbelievable,” Jongewaard said. “Towards the end I knew I was losing time but I just had to hold on and I’m pretty happy with the result.” Rebecca Locke won convincingly in the women’s event. She finished almost seven minutes, ahead of Jo Bennett and Naomi Williams. Locke, from Northcote Victoria, finished in a time of 5:23:51. The eighth edition of the Giant Odyssey confirmed its status as one of the most
BY CARLY POST
challenging and respected mountain bike marathons in Australia, courtesy of the spectacular single track and tough climbs that Forrest is famous for. More than 1,300 riders enjoyed perfect riding conditions with a crisp start to the day followed by perfect blue skies and mild temperatures in the afternoon. Riders came from near and far for the event with every state and territory in Australia represented, as well as competitors from the UK, the Philippines and New Zealand. Full results from the competition are available at multisportaustralia.com.au.
ANGLESEA has continued its flying start to the season and remains unbeaten after Round 4 with a comfortable victory over Queenscliff at home in BFNL A Grade. The Roos won 66-30 with Justine Weichert scoring a phenomenal 49 goals. Anglesea will look to extend their winning streak and remain ladder leaders when they face the new-look and also undefeated Geelong Amateurs in Round 5. The Ammos racked up a convincing 10-goal win over Modewarre at Queens Park, looking strong all over the court and producing some very impressive patterns of play. Their tall timber defenders caused all kinds of problems for Modda, who tried several different combinations but to no avail. Torquay shut down Ocean Grove’s winning start to the season with a convincing 49-36 win. The reigning premiers now sit just outside the top four and will be looking for a way back in when they take on Portarlington next week. Portarlington knocked Drysdale over 59-21 on home turf and sit third on the ladder. Barwon Heads made short work of Newcomb winning 47-31. See page 103 for more results.

A ROSEBUD angler has had his boat seized and risks a $10,000 fine or six months’ jail for allegedly fishing while on a prohibition order for prior offences. Fisheries officers seized a vessel and fishing equipment at Sorrento after intercepting a 38-year-old man allegedly fishing off Blairgowrie while on a 12-month prohibition order earlier this month. Fisheries Victoria acting director of education and enforcement Ian Parks said the rules regarding fishing when on a prohibition order were clear. “Under section 130AA of the Fisheries Act, he is prohibited from taking or attempting to take fish from any Victorian waters, and from possessing or using recreational fishing equipment in, on or next to Victorian waters. “The alleged offender was placed on that order by magistrate Rodney Crisp on November 14 last year when he appeared in Frankston court and was
convicted of taking fish for sale and exceeding the catch limit. “Bag limits and licence restrictions are in place to protect the sustainability of Victoria’s fisheries and ensure these resources are appropriately shared among users. “The alleged offender’s actions show a blatant and unconscionable disregard both for fisheries rules and regulations and the courts. “The ramifications for such rampant behaviour are serious. By breaching his prohibition order, he has risked a $10,000.00 fine or six months’ jail.” Fishermen have also allegedly been caught red-handed with illegal setlines. A report from the community has led to a number of infringement notices for the use of commercial fishing equipment being issued to fish on northern waters this Easter period. DEPI regional fisheries manager Mike Hosking said it was another example of the 13FISH hotline working and providing the public with a means
to report illegal fishing activity. “Fisheries officers conducted surveillance following the anonymous tip-off and allegedly witnessed the retrieval and setting of setlines, classified as commercial fishing equipment. “Individual infringement notices to the value of $722 were issued relating to the possession and use of commercial fishing equipment. “The maximum penalty for using commercial fishing equipment without authority is $14,400 or six months imprisonment or both under Section 36 of the Fisheries Act 1995. “It is also highlighted in the Recreational Fishing Guide that such equipment is not to be used in Victorian waters. “This equipment is heavily regulated and enforced due to the detrimental effect it can have on a wide variety of fish and other non-target species such as tortoise, platypus and a wide variety of water birds.
“It is illegal to use commercial fishing equipment and those caught doing so will be heavily penalised.” Fisheries officers will continue to be out in force as part of Operation Radius. The enforcement and regulation of bag and size limits plus the type of equipment used, ensures the sustainable distribution and the protection of fish populations for all recreational fishers. Report those who break the fishing regulations to 13FISH (phone 13 3474), a statewide 24/7 fisheries offence reporting line.
Photos: I would like to remind readers that if you have some real catches you want to send in, please forward them to the email address below, with type of fish, weight, length, location and your name. I am more than happy to place your photos in My Big Catch or online. Email your photos to mybigcatch@ bigpond.com.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB EXTRA days of golf at Easter followed by an extra day with Anzac Day – there might have been some that managed to play five days over the past week and good weather for all of them.
WITH MARGOT SMITH
and their guests Barb Black and Agnes Accheni with 88 points. NTPs to members and guests: members were Barb Croaker, Valda Connelly, Maralyn Cross and your scribe, and guests were Deb Hocking, Lyn Merrick, Ainsley McCallum and Barb Gordon.
TORQUAY GOLF CLUB
Easter Monday was a Stableford event and it was a small field. Vida Brenner was the best of the ladies scoring 33 points and Marion Atherden runner up with 32 points. In the men’s field, Ray Quinlan tore up the course with a very tidy 44 points winning B Grade. Other winners were Miller Gelic with 40 points in A grade and David Taylor with 38 points in C Grade. The NTP winners were Sheamus Sushames, James Lavender, Miller Gelic and Gary Cartwright. The men were back out again with par on Wednesday. Winners were, John Edmanson in A Grade with 7 up, Barry Walker in B Grade with 5 up on a count back from Uwe Morzinek, Graeme Compton in C Grade with 4 up, and Alex Sutherland in the seniors with 3 up. NTP winners were Lloyd Fletcher, John Edmanson, Rob Steven and Scott Downey, and Andrew Daffy scored an eagle on the 8th. The ladies had a team Irish 4BBB with their guests on Thursday. It seems a few teams tried to boost their scores by including more results than needed, but fortunately we have some very good checkers in the office. The winners were Ann Stokes and her mother, Sue Hickman, Sue French and her guest Barb Gordon with a handy 91 points. Runnersup were members Vida Brenner and Liz McConchie
WEEKEND RESULTS Anzac Day was par and the winners were Deg Hume in the ladies with 1 up, John McCusker in A Grade with 2 up, Stuart Leigh in B Grade with 2 up and Bernie Stokes in C Grade with 3 up. NTP winners were Darren Eskrigge, Sue Bowler, Ann Stokes and your scribe. Saturday was par again and the winners were, Nancye Warhurst in the ladies with square, Colin Foster in A Grade with 5 up, Geordie Thoms in B grade with 8 up and James Pearson in C Grade with 5 up. NTP winners were Anthony Ivelja, Jamie Reale, Judy Talbot and Jason Bourk. The last of the five days of golf was Stableford. Anne Mangan won for the ladies with 35 points and the men’s winners in grade order were Barry Coleman with 36 points, Ross McKenzie with 41 points and Ian Nancarrow with 38 points. NTP winners were Jackie Pearce, Ken McLennan, Geoff Gill and Vida Brenner. Next time you’re teeing off on the 17th, watch out for the bridge. An errant shot on Thursday bounced off the bridge and ended up back on the 16th green. Luckily the player took a drop – so she didn’t have to worry about her divot!
AS BELLS Beach concluded the surf carnival this week, Torquay Golf Club continued to host many visitors and members on our great course. It has been a huge Easter holiday season for the golf club and resort, and we congratulate our ground staff as it is not easy to maintain the course with full fields every day. Visitors and members alike are still impressed by the condition in which it is maintained. Once again Monday’s field was strong, and with 43 points Dave McPhail won A Grade. Greg Bradley shot 47 points to take out B Grade. Clare Fitzpatrick with 38 points won the ladies. NTP: Andrew Carr, Stephen Curtain and Lyn Brady. Harry Knevitt won the jackpot. On Tuesday, the ladies played 4BBB par. The winning team of Kerry Castleman and Angela Worthy took out first place for Division 1 with +8 and for Division 2 Mary Sweet and Lyn Wilson with +7. NTP Wendy Johnson, Ros Lewis and Inge Oliver. Libby Fuller hit the jackpot. Congratulations to Ladies’ President, Sue Hehir, who shot a hole in one on the 12th: her first. On Wednesday, Darren Looker had 42 points to take out A Grade. Norm Johnson with 42 points won B Grade. Peter Lester also shot 42 points to win C Grade but the score of the day went to D Grade winner Andrew Thompson with a superb 46 points. Alec Hand was the Resort winner with 45 points. NTP: Bill Young, Bill Fitzpatrick, Rob Young and Doug McGregor. Eric Black hit the jackpot.

MIDWEEK RESULTS

FROM THE MEMBERS’ ROOM
FRIDAY: ANZAC DAY MEDLEY
Thirty players competed on a beautiful Easter Monday to see the finish of the school holidays. Gavin Sheehan and Chris Burke reigned supreme with a great nett 62.75 over Steve Menegazzo and Luke Rayner on 63.5.
Perfect conditions were presented for Anzac Day with the sun shining and hardly any wind present. Thirty-seven players enjoyed the sun in a Par Medley that saw Gavin Sheehan continue his terrific week of golf with the winning score of +3. Paul Barrett also beat his handicap with +1 to take second place.
ONE of the many great functions held annually at the Portarlington Golf Club is the Annual Mother’s Day lunch. May 11 is the date, and for $36 you will be served up a scrumptious three-course meal with free champagne or soft drink for mum. Family tables are popular and small groups also catered for, so make your booking soon.
SATURDAY: LADIES’ STABLEFORD
APRIL 22: MEN’S STROKE
The competition was played in windy but warm conditions over nine holes with Elita Klunder coming out on top with 22 points and Tony Sitch in second place with a solid 20 points.
WEDNESDAY: MEN’S PAR More fine weather after early rain meant that the men’s competition was a closely-run affair with Alex McMahon triumphant in a count back with Tim Freer on +5. Alex McMahon also claimed the pro comp with Stan Humphreys in 2nd place on +3. Course conditions were praised.
THURSDAY: LADIES’ STABLEFORD Thursday began with wind and rain and what looked to be difficult conditions for the ladies. Many battled to score well but Dot Tattersall came through with a terrific 38 points to take the main prize. Libby Fuller also played a solid round of golf with 36 points in second place; a great effort on a challenging day. 2 Sands Boulevarde, Torquay Clubhouse: 5264 3333 Pro Shop: 5264 3307

FROM THE GOLF SHOP
The drizzly conditions scared a few of us away this week, but there were still 94 brave (or silly?) players putting their abilities on the line. John Cranston and Jack Martin came in with wet smiles after recording nett 66s, rightfully thinking they would have a show for the TOD. Not to be! Kevin Dolby’s nett 62 was a freakish result, edging out Jack to win D Grade, while David Bond’s 68 placed him 2nd behind John in B Grade. Sean Rodwell played very well to win A Grade with 68 by 3 shots from Matt Salter, and Gordon Atkins won C Grade with a 67 from Ian Thomson whose NTP on the 2nd helped him to a 70. Other NTPs went to Peter Bauer and Greg Sly.

WITH ANGLESEA BOWLING CLUB THE Anglesea Bowling Club social night held on April 11 was well attended and enjoyed by all. Members and guests were entertained with Bob Berrill’s original poem – a very amusing ditty about the misfortunes of your opponent using a “bionic arm”! A couple of “old boys” also celebrated their birthday. Many thanks to Estie Wines and her catering team for a superb two course meal. The Anglesea Lions Club sponsored a day of fun social bowls on April 12. More than 40 players participated, including guests from the Lions Club. Winners of the mixed triples were Heather Campbell, John Morrison (Lions Club) and Dorothy Millard. A special thank you to the Lionesses who catered for the occasion. Hopefully this will become an annual event. On Easter Monday, the club held the traditional Anniversary Mixed Triples event and celebrated its 54th birthday. Winners were Everett Greeves, Mary Porter and Clyde Boseley. Runners-up were Graeme Dace (visitor), Gerard Morrison and Karen Bird. Nearest the Spider winners were Rosemary Dace (visitor) and Bob Evans. Thank you to Betty Butterworth and family for again sponsoring this special day.
