LISTEN UP Applicant and shire criticised over Torquay Eco-Park plan

BY JAMES TAYLOR

WHAT’S UP, DOCS?

The Royal Flying Doctors Service made an educational visit to Deans Marsh Primary School this week. Here, pupils (front L-R) Bella Tippins, Lily Marotta and Erminie Hope, and (rear L-R) Gus Bennett, Xavier Bennett, Ethan Thompson, Harley Peillon and Jack Armistead enjoy the aero-medical simulator. See page 24.

THE second information meeting about the proposed Torquay Eco-Park has drawn three times the crowd and three times as many complaints. About 100 people filled the council chambers in Torquay last Thursday to hear details and share their grievances about the plan to build the 50-hectare park on the corner of Coombes and Ghazeepore roads in Freshwater Creek. The anger and frustration expressed during the two-hour meeting was directed evenly between not only the park – including its size, effect on traffic and impact on surrounding properties – but also the Surf Coast Shire for its perceived failure to advise people about the application. Several residents raised issues about the suitability of Coombes Road, which is not scheduled to be upgraded until at least 2018, to handle cars towing caravans. “If I’m coming over the top of the hill at 80kmh, and a caravan pulls out and turns to go to Anglesea Road and it’s doing 15kmh, you’ve got an accident there,” one man said. Another resident said the shire would not cope with the increased levels of vehicle and bicycle traffic generated by the 700-site park. “We just don’t have cycle paths; the general infrastructure is just not in place. “You’ve got a client that says he’s going to slowly build it up and it’s going to be wonderful, but you’re stepping on people’s toes.” The shire’s handling of the consultation process was heavily criticised, with some residents receiving notice of the second meeting only three days earlier.

“You represent us, but not enough of us know – 162 letters dropped (for the first meeting) is not enough,” one woman said. “This is massive, and our entire community deserves to know.” Shire planning and development manager Brydon King said 400 notices had been sent out for the second meeting. “The advisory process could have been done better, and I take that criticism.” In response, the shire has extended its decision-making time, and a third information meeting on the application will be held at the council chambers tonight at 6pm. A hearing of submissions meeting will also be held on August 5. Despite calls for the shire to defer the application, it will be determined by the full council at its August 25 meeting. Mr King said the application had already passed the 60-day threshold after which it could be appealed to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal on the grounds the council had failed to decide on the matter. St Quentin Consulting’s Cameron Gray – at the meeting on behalf of applicant BCR Asset Management – said his client was happy to wait for the council to make a decision in August but was unlikely to extend any further. Mr Gray said the site for the park was chosen for its easy access to Melbourne, its proximity to Torquay, and because it was “not particularly sensitive to visual amenity”.

Shire knocks back Bob Pettit land deal BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE Surf Coast Shire has knocked back the $2.2 million price tag for state government-owned land at Bob Pettit Reserve, instead offering less than a quarter of the amount. At their Tuesday meeting, councillors unanimously rejected the officers’ recommendation to accept the state government offer to buy the Department of Education land over three years. The land is used as public open space in Jan Juc. Surf Coast Shire and the department have been negotiating ownership since January, when the state government announced that it intended to sell the land and gave the shire the first option to buy it. The land was valued on its Residential 1 zoning at about $4.65 million, but talks – including lobbying by South Barwon MP Andrew Katos – lowered the price

to $2.2 million based on the land’s historical use as public open space and its infrastructure, which was built by both local and state governments. Cr Brian McKiterick, who moved the alternative motion, said $500,000 was a “reasonable and fiscal amount” to offer. “This is one of the most valued pieces of land in the shire. “To think the land could be lost and not be used by the community is abhorrent. “The implications of $2.2 million on this shire are fairly significant in terms of our future capital works, which may be deferred for some time or not even undertaken.” Cr Heather Wellington spoke strongly in support, saying the land should be sold to the shire on a peppercorn basis. “I find it astonishing that the state government would propose this deal.”

Mr Katos, who was coincidentally in the public gallery at the meeting, said he was disappointed in the outcome. “A lot of the issues that were

raised (by councillors) have not been communicated to me as a local member. But I’ll certainly work to continue negotiations with the shire to keep it in public hands.”

IN BRIEF GORCC goes for two-building plan in Point Grey THE Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) has changed its mind on the Point Grey Precinct Plan, and will adopt a two-building solution in the redevelopment of the area. Yesterday, GORCC announced the plan would keep the Lorne Aquatic and Angling Club (LAAC) separate from the restaurant/ community space, and incorporate a northern access entry road. LAAC removed its campaign signage yesterday, and club commodore Graeme Norton commended GORCC on their preparedness to provide the outcome that represents the wishes of the club’s 600 members and the majority of the Lorne community. The preparation of an amended precinct design is expected to take several weeks.

Consultation on Bells Beach vision closes

Consultation on the draft vision for Bells Beach Surfing Recreation Reserve has closed. The Bells Beach Community Visioning Taskforce will now consider further comments before presenting its final vision and list of issues to be considered to Surf Coast Shire in September, which will use this advice to help form a new five-year Coastal Management Plan for the reserve. Taskforce chair John Thwaites said some clear themes had emerged so far. “People want to see the natural environment at Bells Beach protected, people want heritage preserved and there is a focus on not commercialising the reserve.”

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times. Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012. To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total. Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim. Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year. Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service. These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment. The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers. This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

VESEP comes to the rescue with funding BY JAMES TAYLOR

EMERGENCY service organisations in the South Barwon and Polwarth electorates are sharing in more than $12 million of state government funding towards equipment, vehicle and amenities upgrades across Victoria. The recipients of the 2014/15 Victorian Emergency Services Equipment program (VESEP) were announced last week. In South Barwon, they include: • $52,518 to Jan Juc SLSC for three inflatable rescue boats , three engines and an all-terrain vehicle • $7,915 for the Freshwater Creek CFA to upgrade its communications room and office, and • $6,525 to Torquay Marine Rescue Service

for a trailer for their Sealegs amphibious boat. In Polwarth, the larger grants include: • $100,000 to the Wye River CFA for a light tanker • $52,000 to the Lismore SES for a Ford Ranger • $45,904.13 to the Lorne SLSC to upgrade and replace their rescue and OH&S equipment, and • $41,253 to the Cobden CFA for a field command vehicle. The state government typically covers twothirds of the cost of the equipment, vehicle or amenity through the program, with the organisation providing the remaining third. Jan Juc SLSC president Wes McDonald said the VESEP funding was very exciting and

would allow the club to be fully ready for the summers to come. “It really sets us up for the next 10 years.” Mr Katos said the state government had always placed a high priority on the more than 90,000 volunteers, who were “the backbone of our emergency response” and generously gave their time assisting others. “I congratulate every member of the surf life saving clubs, marine rescue services and regional fire brigades for their commitment to community protection.” Mr Mulder said the VESEP grants would enhance the emergency response capability of the organisations. “This is all part of our plan to invest in projects in our local area to make our region an even better place to live.”

Luckily or not, renumbering goes ahead BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE Surf Coast Shire is going ahead with its plan to renumber houses along a section of Horseshoe Bend Road. However, some of the affected residents are unhappy with the idea, for a variety of reasons. On Tuesday, councillors resolved to proceed with renumbering the 56 properties located at the south end of the Torquay road. First proposed in March, the renumbering will correct the section of the road that does not meet the Australian standard for rural and urban addressing, as there are odd and even numbers on

the same side. The shire received 10 submissions in response to its plan. Of those, several related to the $50 reimbursement offered to the affected properties, with suggestions that it was not enough and that the actual cost of the work – one person suggested “at least $500, maybe more” – should be paid back. In its report, the council stated the $50 figure was based on $5-$10 for each of the four replacement numbers, plus at least $10 for phone calls and/or postage to advise of change of address. Three submitters said the shire previously renumbered the properties in 1997 and this

renumbering was unnecessary. In response, the council stated it did not envisage the growth changes in Torquay North at the time, and “although frustrating, it is critical to get the numbering right this time. The new numbers will not be not be affected by any future growth”. One submitter took issue with the numerology of their property – “I believe the number 13 to be unlucky so I don’t want to live in a home with 13 in it”. Tuesday’s resolution also included a directive for the council to paint the new numbers on the kerb.

Some houses at the south end of Horseshoe Bend Road will be renumbered for the second time. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

LORNE’S footballers and netballers have run out onto their new home turf and courts for the first time. The project to upgrade the netball court and oval surfaces and drainage involved more than $450,000 worth of works and was officially opened on Saturday at the Dolphins’ home game against Birregurra. The improved netball facilities will assist in growing the netball membership, while the oval renovation will bring the playing surface up to standard for training and competition.

The Surf Coast Shire contributed $350,000 to the project, the state government $100,000 through the Country Football Netball Program and the Lorne Football Netball Club $15,000. Member for Western Victoria Simon Ramsay and Surf Coast Shire mayor Rose Hodge launched the new facilities on Saturday. “As today’s big turnout shows, local sport plays an important role in bringing people together, especially in regional Victoria,” Mr Ramsay said. “Having quality sporting facilities is central to encouraging more Victorians to get more active and healthy, which is a top priority

for this government. “That’s why we’re working to build a better Victoria by delivering great facilities that clubs and communities can depend on, whether it’s for training or hosting the big events. “Our investment ensures local venues like Stribling Reserve will continue to be an important community asset for many years to come. “This has been a team effort and it’s fantastic to see this important project come to fruition.” For more information about community sporting facility funding programs, head to dtpli. vic.gov.au.

Cr Lyons said he met Mr Evans in December last year along with Deputy Mayor Cr Bruce Harwood to discuss the event. “Cadel Evans lives in Barwon Heads and spends the summer training on our local coastal roads – just as many thousands of amateur cyclists do.” Dr Napthine said the event would bring world-class cycling to Geelong. “The mass participation ride will not only give people the chance to ride the same course as the world’s best cyclists, it will also allow people to experience and enjoy the scenic twists and turns of the Great Ocean Road region.” For more information and to register your interest, head to cadelevansgreatoceanroadrace.com.au.

Cr Lyons said the race would provide a testing course for the world’s best cyclists while showcasing the Geelong region to an international audience. “In 2010, Geelong delivered the first UCI Road World Championships to be held in Australia and this proved to be a massive success. The 2010 UCI Road World Championships delivered an economic benefit to Geelong of $45.5 million and reached an international television audience of $186.8 million. “Geelong’s landscape, infrastructure and lifestyle make our region a natural fit for cycling. One of the factors that has made cycling such a major sport in the television age is the stunning images the broadcasters capture of the host cities and hinterlands.”

COMMUNITY PROFILE

At a time when the Victorian High Country is experiencing one of its best ski seasons in years, one could be forgiven for expecting our town to be deserted, and yes sure it’s quiet mid week, but weekends like last reinforced the love affair that so many have with our town in the cooler quieter months. It was also great to see a number of our nonresident property owners make the effort to come and support the opening of the new facilities at our Stribling Reserve Oval. The Lorne Football and Netball Club’s home game against Birregurra last weekend saw the club host the Hon MP Simon Ramsay, Surf Coast Shire Mayor Rose Hodge, CEO Stephen Wall and local councillor Clive Goldsworthy for the official opening of the new works undertaken at the facility over the past ten months. After a bit of a shaky start and a few bumps along the way, our local community are grateful for the support of all the stakeholders of the project. In an address from Stribling Reserve Committee, Chairman Pete Spring, the gathering heard that financial commitments made by the Government Agencies were further magnified by the contributions of local tradesmen and businesses. Their input varied from donations of labour and machinery use, to the supply of first grade materials and fittings which raised the standard of the facility to another level. On a day of celebration, Lorne’s two netball teams vying for a final berth, the U/15’s and A Grade, both had good wins and move a step closer to September action. The entire netball fraternity at our local club is to be congratulated on what they have built over a number of years. With U/15 local girl Ruby Meredith playing A Grade and fellow locals Mali Gallaher and Dixie Weetman also in the senior grades, the platform is set for the future. The Lorne Surf Club had their Annual General Meeting on Saturday afternoon, and welcomed back Kevin Van Deuran for a second term as President, being well supported by a relatively unchanged executive, except for the author who has “hung up” his beech towel for the last time. The members also ratified the nomination of Mark Williamson to the position of Life Associate Member of the Club in recognition of his magnificent contributions and strong leadership as Pier to Pub and Mountain to Surf Race Director. It was great to hear that Past President Neil Morarty has been released from Hospital in Perth and recovering, and the wishes to Neil and his family were echoed strongly from the Annual General Meeting. It is with sadness and thoughtful wishes that I acknowledge the passing of Paul Williams and Lindsay Pitt over the past period.

IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE FOR LORNE

Lorne in Winter – Then and Now We are now in the middle of Winter and we are at that time when many of the local residents head north in search of warmth and sun. The result of that is that the town becomes a bit sleepy and whilst there seem to be increasing numbers of visitors and the school holidays seemed extremely busy, there’s not a lot to report. And so, your correspondent has been is search of information from the archives of the Historical Society to compare Lorne in Winter many years ago with Lorne in Winter today. Lo and behold! Not a lot changes. The Geelong Advertiser employed a correspondent in the late 1800’s who obviously had a real passion for Lorne and wrote regularly of its attractions and issues. The piece below from 1878 describes the seasonal cycle of Lorne in much the same way as still occurs. The writer also talks of the expectations of ratepayers and the capacity of local government to deliver. Not much different there!

1878 The weather has been very rough and boisterous at the bay for some weeks past, the little sunshine we have had proving quite genial and pleasant for a few hours on some days; but, notwithstanding the unsettled state of the elements, the season is by no means unpleasant, and for a little quiet nook like Louttit Bay, there has been plenty of activity during the past few winter months in both outdoor and indoor operations. A considerable amount of building has been affected, with the usual routine of work at the hands of Carpenters, Joiners, Plasterers, Painters, Laborers, and so forth; and, judging from appearances, there will be a vast amount of building yet going on for the next few months. A word or two upon the condition of the road between Dean’s Marsh and Lorne will not be out of place at this juncture, as the travelling portion of the public, who have had the experience of former years along that particular track, will be glad to learn that the difficulties at “THE BIG HILL”, as it is termed, about six miles from here, have been overcome in a great degree by opening a new track round the hill instead of over it, the gradient being easy and such as to render the travelling at that spot much more comfortable than heretofore. Yet a vast amount of improvement is called for at other portions of the road, in the way of drainage, and by the removal of trees, which stand dangerously in the way of ordinary traffic, besides repairs needed to the Erskine Ford, (Ed Note - see accompanying photograph) and on some of the Township roads. But who are the good folks to carry out all these

much desired improvements? The members of the Winchelsea Shire Council, of course is the reply, and it is believed generally, that the Shire Council will cause a vast amount of improvement, to be effected hereabouts very shortly for the simple reason that the township and suburbs of Lorne contribute a much larger proportion to the Shire revenue than hitherto… notwithstanding the fact of their properties being recently assessed at something like twenty to even fifty percent, over the previous year. No, they don’t grumble as a body, only when they find the Shire Council turning a deaf ear to their reasonable requests. In the meantime, the attention of the resident householders is mainly occupied with making things snug and comfortable for the coming season, and the anticipated large influx of health and pleasure seekers.

Today Some absolutely stunning, sunny days in Lorne. Lots of building activity. Businesses preparing for the summer season. High expectations of the Shire in terms of delivery of services. Deans Marsh Road and Great Ocean Road both in need of repair. Lorne is still a magic place – summer or winter.

Mary and Jim emigrated from Scotland 64 years ago. With the help of friends, they settled in Rubicon where Jim worked on the Eildon power station project. “This will do me!” Mary said when she saw Lorne for the first time in 1959. Jim had been relocated to the SEC Lorne office after assignments in Eildon and Kyabram. Two years later he was promoted to Port Fairy and then to Yarrawonga. In 1971, Jim was appointed manager of Lorne and much to Mary’s delight they moved back, this time to stay. They rented for two years before Mary’s determination to buy a house in a perfect location was successful and where they lived for 20 years. Later they subdivided their large block and built a smaller house on what had been the vegetable garden. Sadly Jim died soon after they moved in but the paintings he did in retirement adorn the walls in abundance and his presence is there. They also serve as a reminder of the good times shared with friends on caravan holidays around Australia. Although family is closest to Mary’s heart, she admits to having had a passion for golf. Her handicap got to 19 and she served on Club Committees at Lorne and Anglesea. She loved her years involved with the Lions Club, doing meals on wheels and helping at the Op Shop. She has been a part time secretary of the old Lorne Hospital. For the past five years she has been a volunteer at the Information Centre. They had two children who produced five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

City seeks publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fracking opinion BY TIFFANY PILCHER

Protestors against fracking gathered outside Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City of Greater Geelong Council meeting on Tuesday.

THE City of Greater Geelong will soon be taking submissions on the issue of fracking in the region. The announcement was made at a council meeting on Tuesday night, which was attended by around 50 anti-fracking protestors. During question time, the protestors asked why council has not followed the Surf Coast Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in supporting the state government moratorium on the extraction of coal seam gas through hydraulic fracturing (fracking), and gave examples of how fracking can have a negative effect on communities. Environment and sustainability portfolio holder Cr Andy Richards said no decisions would be made on the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on the matter until after thorough community consultation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council has decided to open a public submission period in about a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time on the issue of coal seam gas extraction, and in particular, fracking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In between now and then, councillors will be

briefed on all issues surrounding fracking. The publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submissions will form a part of a report that will come back to council, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll then incorporate councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on fracking into the Environmental Management Strategy.â&#x20AC;? Frack Free Grovedale member Alan Manson said after the public was excluded from previous discussions on the issue, the group and their supporters demanded to be heard before any further decisions are made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering the devastating environmental, human health, groundwater contamination and road transport issues this industry has had on communities throughout many countries of the world, councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hypocritical approach to their Community Engagement Policy left those in the gallery â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fracked-offâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said. Frack Free Geelong are holding a public meeting for those interested in helping to educate the Geelong community about fracking in the Geelong Trades Hall auditorium next Tuesday at 7pm.

Paramedics reject latest offer from state government BY JAMES TAYLOR THE paramedicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union has rejected the latest pay offer from the state government, claiming a condition to move its members anywhere in the state for up to a month could cause a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mass exodusâ&#x20AC;?. Last week, it was revealed the newly-tabled offer would double the sign-on payment for full-time paramedics, from $1,500 to $3,000. The offer also includes the previously announced 6 per cent upfront wage increase followed by 3 per cent wage increases in both 2015 and 2016, and consent arbitration of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work value claim by the independent umpire. However, Ambulance Employees Australia

secretary Steve McGhie said the offer also gave the state government the power to â&#x20AC;&#x153;uproot paramedics from their home base to send them anywhere in the state for anything from a single shift to a month at a timeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the strings attached to the offer the government did not talk about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disruption this poses for families, and the health and safety issues around extensive travel after long shifts at work, make this completely unworkable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paramedics in metropolitan Melbourne have for years co-operated this way because distances are reasonable. But to impose it in rural Victoria is impractical and dangerous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clear message from our members is that if

this gets up, there would be a mass exodus from the service.â&#x20AC;? He said the sign-on agreement was doubled to cover the lack of back pay, as paramedics had not had a pay rise in almost three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government also wants to remove employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights to representation at disciplinary hearings. This is simply part of its ideological crusade against unions.â&#x20AC;? Premier Denis Napthine last week urged paramedics to accept the offer and end the longrunning dispute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fair offer for our ambulance officers. It is consistent with the Coalition governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wages policy.â&#x20AC;?

Paramedics across the state are continuing their campaign for better pay and conditions against the state government and Ambulance Victoria.

Carbon tax axed, but what replaces it? BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE carbon tax has been axed, but it is still not clear what climate policy will replace it. Last week, the federal government was successful at its third attempt at getting the bill to repeal the Labor-introduced tax through the Senate, but its Direct Action legislation has not yet been put to the test. The second attempt to repeal the carbon tax earlier this month was defeated at the last minute after

senators aligned with the Palmer United Party (PUP) voted against it. Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said the repeal was great news for the electorate’s families and small businesses. “Our region has a great future in advanced manufacturing, and it is even brighter after the abolition of the carbon tax. The tax was a $1.1 billion hit on the manufacturing sector alone, which was so damaging for the Corangamite and Geelong regions.” She claimed cutting the carbon tax would save

the average household about $550 a year, including around $200 on the average household electricity bill and about $70 on the average gas bill. However, this figure has been disputed, as the full effect of the tax’s repeal on prices, including the extent of savings that companies will pass onto consumers, is unclear. The Climate Institute, which supports a price on carbon, has estimated the average savings may be closer to between $80 and $200 a year. Legislation to support the federal government’s

Direct Action plan – which will replace a price on carbon with a scheme that gives a financial incentive for companies to reduce their pollution – has passed the House of Representatives but has not passed the Senate. PUP leader Clive Palmer has previously said his party will vote against Direct Action. He has said he will only support the federal government’s plan if it introduces an emissions trading scheme (ETS), with the price of carbon set at zero until Australia’s major trading partners adopt an ETS.

SCEG welcomes Greens’ position on renewables BY JAMES TAYLOR

Greg Barber, Lisa Ashdowne and Lloyd Davies from the Greens show their support for wind energy at the Breamlea turbine with SCEG’s Aaron Lewtas.

THE Surf Coast Energy Group (SCEG) has encouraged the Labor and Liberal candidates in South Barwon to match the Greens and declare their position on renewables. As reported in the Surf Coast Times on June 19, the Geelong Sustainability Group, SCEG and Friends of the Earth has sent an open letter to Liberal MP Andrew Katos, Labor candidate Andy Richards and Green candidate Lisa Ashdowne. The letter sought their position on renewable energy, asked them to support repealing the restrictions on wind farms introduced by former premier Ted Baillieu, and to support a Renewable Energy Target for Victoria. Last week, Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber said he and Ms Ashdowne fully supported boosting renewables in the state. However, the three groups are yet to receive a response from Mr Katos or Mr Richards. SCEG president Aaron Lewtas said he welcomed the Greens’ support for repealing the wind farm

restrictions and designing a Victorian renewable energy target. “A renewable energy target would be a great way to stimulate jobs and investment in Victoria and fill the hole in climate policy, where the federal government are now letting us down. “SCEG are investigating a community-owned renewable energy project for the Surf Coast and a policy like this would give us certainty to move forward. “SCEG believe (renewable energy) is what the people want to see - it creates jobs, it stimulates investment and it’s good for our environment. “There are just so many positives for Victoria; we can’t see why all political parties can get behind it.” Mr Barber said the wind turbine at Breamlea would be the last to be built on the Bellarine Peninsula unless the restrictions were lifted. “There are already permits approved for nearly 1,000 wind turbines in Victoria. They are ready to start construction, but the attacks by the federal government on the Renewable Energy Target are holding back investment.”

COMMUNITY groups and schools in the Geelong region who want to be part of tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schools Tree Day or Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Tree Day have been encouraged to apply for free seedlings through the state governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2 Million Trees Program. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said the program was part of the state governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to supporting local communities take practical environmental action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees are essential for a healthy environment as they provide shade, clean the air and help cool the environment. They also provide habitat for animals and help protect our water catchments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Coalition government is committed to delivering the 2 Million Trees Program that will see 1.5 million trees planted in Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parklands and public spaces and 500,000 trees along waterways in regional Victoria. National Tree Day and Schools Tree Day are an

Australia-wide initiative run through Planet Ark. Pupils from St Therese Catholic Primary School made an early start, planting trees near the wind turbine in Breamlea on Tuesday. Plants used were native and indigenous to the area. Coming local events associated with the initiative include the Surf Coast Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation of phase two of the planting plans for the Anglesea Riverbank and a one-year celebration tomorrow from 11am-1.30pm, an activity hosted by the Bellarine Landcare Group along the Bellarine Rail Trail in Drysdale on Sunday from 10am-2pm, and the Borough of Queenscliffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual indigenous planting and maintenance weeding program on Wednesday on the Bellarine Rail Trail in Point Lonsdale from 10am-noon.

Fishing forum to be held in Torquay BY JAMES TAYLOR RECREATIONAL anglers can learn more about local fisheries and share ideas about improving fishing opportunities at a public forum to be held in Torquay next week. The Fisheries Victoria roundtable forum is being held on Wednesday to both inform anglers and hear their ideas or concerns. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said the state government recognised the importance of Victoria’s recreational fishing industry and was committed

Fishing forums have often drawn a large crowd in Torquay as this one featuring Rex Hunt did last year. Fisheries Vitoria is holding a roundtable discussion on July 30 at Torquay Angling Club. Photo: PETER MARSHALL

to improving fishing opportunities for Victoria’s 721,000 licensed fishers. “This public roundtable forum is part of a state-wide tour by Fisheries Victoria to listen to anglers and also update them on research findings, new regulations, trout and native fish stockings and new facilities. “The Coalition government’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative is improving recreational fishing through projects to stock more fish, improve access and facilities, upgrade boating facilities, install fish cleaning tables, improve fish passage, undertake more research and strengthen fisheries enforcement and education. “A key focus of the initiative is to strengthen engagement with fishers – whether they are baitanglers in our bays and inlets, fly-fishers in our lakes and rivers or spear-fishers off the coast.” He said recreational fishing made a significant contribution to local economies by supporting hotels, petrol stations, supermarkets, and bait and tackle stores. “By supporting, improving and encouraging recreational fishing in Victoria, we are boosting regional economies and helping communities to thrive.” Mr Katos said last year’s forums with Fisheries Victoria and VRFish generated many ideas for improving fishing across the state. “These ideas from grassroots anglers are often the first step towards developing new projects that deliver significant benefits to recreational fishers and the regional businesses that depend on them.” The public forum will be held at Torquay Angling Club, The Esplanade, Fishermans Beach from 7-9pm on July 30. For more information on the forum, head to depi.vic.gov.au/fishforums2014.

Ring Road rest areas receive plaudits BY JAMES TAYLOR

The entire rest area is off the grid, and provides its own power, lighting and water.

REST areas on the Geelong Ring Road in Waurn Ponds have been recognised at this year’s Australian Institute of Architects Victorian Architecture Awards. The BKK Architects-designed and MMAP Constructions-built areas, which opened just over a year ago, won the Small Project Architecture Award. The location was chosen to provide amenity to tourists heading to the Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road, as well as freight operators en route to South Australia. VicRoads project director Tony Hedley said the site not being serviced led to a requirement for an entirely ‘green’, sustainable solution. “This entire rest area facility is off the grid. All power is generated from solar panels, providing lighting and power for pumps and generators. Automatic lighting is also activated by movement, which helps reduce the amount of power needed. “A series of underground concrete tanks store water collected from the

roof to feed the toilet cisterns and hand basins.” Mr Hedley said that an onsite septic treatment had also been used, which also provided treated water for landscape irrigation. “We’re incredibly proud of this functional, environmentally sustainable and visually appealing design,” he said. Each of the two rest areas has four truck holding bays, nine truck parking bays, and 13 car parking bays including two disability parking spaces. “VicRoads’ research shows that around 20 per cent of fatal road accidents in Victoria involve driver fatigue, and it is the single most significant cause of road crashes involving heavy vehicles,” Mr Hedley said. “This rest area has had immediate benefits by providing drivers a safe area to stop which will improve safety and help reduce driver fatigue.” The Waurn Ponds section of the Geelong Ring Road carriers about 9,000 vehicles per day, including more than 1,300 heavy vehicles.

Reports of dog cruelty rise in Victoria THE RSPCA says animal cruelty is on the rise in Victoria, with the number of reports made in the state soaring almost 15 per cent on the previous financial year. In addition to the more than 10,700 complaints made in 2013/14, the society is also alarmed by an apparent trend in violent dog beating. RSPCA Victoria inspectorate manager Allie Jalbert the type of cruelty the RSPCA was seeing was “really quite shocking” and happening more frequently. “Like with crime statistics, we can’t know whether the recorded increase is the result of more cruelty or better reporting; but is most likely a combination of the two. “What we do know is we are regularly seeing dogs that have been violently and callously beaten by their owners, and in many instances, the abuse has caused lasting injury or trauma. “We have rescued dogs that appear to have been stabbed, kicked, and beaten, sometimes repeatedly.” She said dog beating cases seemed to be occurring more often in

apartments or higher-density living, with dogs that are small to medium in size. “We are investigating six dog beating cases and with the possibility of charges being laid. “We have seized all of these dogs to ensure they are safe from further harm and can receive veterinary care.” Ms Jalbert said increased community awareness of animal welfare and people’s willingness to speak out about animal violence was helping the RSPCA identify and pursue offenders. “People abusing their pets live within our community. They may share walls with their neighbours. “Animal abuse can be audible or visible. If you have seen or heard what you suspect may be abuse, report it to the RSPCA. “There is simply no excuse for beating an animal. “The community are our eyes and ears, and it is through their vigilance that we can take action and stop abusers.” To report animal cruelty to the RSPCA, phone 9224 2222.

Get help to board the train with BAZ BY JAMES TAYLOR

A STATE-first trial has been launched in Geelong, making it easier for the city’s 12,000 residents with a disability to get on a V/Line train. Boarding Assistance Zones (BAZ) have been unveiled at Geelong and South Geelong stations. The BAZ is a designated area for customers wanting V/Line staff assistance or advice before they safely board a train. V/Line regional manager Peter Gibson said the trial would run until October 16 and, depending on results, V/Line would consider rolling out the zones at other stations in its network. “If you want assistance, even if it’s just advice, you can now wait confidently at the Boarding Assistance Zone marked on the platform, knowing you’ll be spotted and assisted by our helpful staff. “We will of course continue helping those who choose to wait outside a Boarding Assistance Zone, although when platforms are crowded it can be difficult for us to identify who wants our help.” Disability advocate and motorised scooter user James Carter, who catches the train at least once a week, said the BAZ at South Geelong would be a great help. “It’s very good for anyone who’s unfamiliar with the platform – you can come onto the platform and say immediately ‘that’s where I need to go’.” South Barwon MP Andrew Katos and Liberal candidate for Geelong Paula Kontelj also welcomed the station’s trial BAZ.

Mr Katos said the zones were a practical initiative to provide assistance to anyone who needed it. “The zones are designed to provide

a helping hand so that people can more easily and independently travel on V/ Line’s trains. “Whether people have disability, are

frail, injured, have a pram or simply need a little confidence in boarding a train, if they wait at the zone, help will be on its way.”

IN BRIEF Alcoa rejects due diligence claims ALCOA has rejected claims that an “unnamed, foreign-controlled company” is conducting due diligence on its Anglesea coal mine and power station. Last week, Surf Coast Air Action (SCAA) called for more community consultation on the sale, with spokesperson Dr Jacinta Morahan saying it was “outrageous that the Anglesea and Surf Coast communities were being kept in the dark”. “I would urge any company that may be interested in Anglesea to consult openly with the community so that it can properly understand the depth of the opposition to the continued operation of the mine and power plant.” Yesterday, Alcoa spokesman Brian Doy said although the expression of interest process of the sale had attracted numerous responses, no company was doing due diligence.

Get nominating for Australian of the Year

Flying doctors drive into Deans Marsh VICTORIAN children are getting a close-up look at the work of the Flying Doctors, with visits to schools around the state by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Victoria. Deans Marsh Primary School pupils were the beneficiaries of a visit on Monday, with pupils enjoying a look through the aero-medical simulator, a life-sized replica of a Flying Doctors plane fuselage fitted with communications and medical equipment. The Look! Up in the Sky Education Program also explains the important role the Royal Flying Doctor Service has played in Australia since it started in 1928, and includes key learning areas such as history, geography, maths, English and health. Today the Royal Flying Doctor Service attends to over 295,000 patients annually, or more than 800 every day, performs some 37,000 aeromedical evacuations and conducts about 15,000 healthcare clinics per year. Look! Up in the Sky Education program manager Tom Ryan said kids loved learning about the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the aero-medical simulator that is part of the visits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The simulator is an actual size version of an RFDS plane complete with medical equipment. Kids are encouraged to try everything on, push buttons and

get an idea what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a pilot, nurse or doctor on a Flying Doctor plane.â&#x20AC;? RFDS Victoria delivers air and road transport and rural health programs, as well as raising funds for emergency equipment in other parts of Australia. Mr Ryan said public support and generous donations by Victorians played a crucial role in

keeping the Flying Doctor flying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our loyal and generous supporters enable us to continue providing the finest care to the furthest corner,â&#x20AC;? he said. To donate to the Royal Flying Doctor Service Victoria or organise a school visit call the RFDS Victoria on 8412 0400 or go to flyingdoctor.org.au.

Lions to the recue

I am writing to highlight the actions of some Good Samaritans on Whites Beach, Torquay, near the Gap on July 13. Russell and Catherine were walking their dogs Hannah, Mia, and Lenny and saw a young man in trouble in the shallows. He was not moving with water washing over him. Russell pulled him out of the water and, with others, administered CPR while talking with an operator at 000 for some 30 minutes until police and ambulance officers arrived on the beach. This happened as the high tide was peaking. Russell and Catherine are part of the dog walking community using Fishermans/Whites Beach to exercise themselves and their dogs as were most of the others assisting this young person. Well done all of them! Perhaps the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee could provide access for emergency vehicles to access the Gap beach at high tide, similar to the accessibility at the Sailing Club and the ramp near the Fishermans Beach kiosk. It would also be very sensible if the already established bollards along those beaches identified the section of beach people are adjacent to in times of emergency such as this one.

to get in touch with the Australian Men’s Shed Association, which administers this initiative. The Australian Men’s Shed movement has brought together thousands of men over the past decade to share their interests, learn skills and build lifelong friendships – and this has benefitted not only the communities in which the sheds have been established, but also the men themselves. For men who don’t have a computer at home, they can use the shed’s computer to develop new skills, access websites, email family members and perhaps learn how to pay bills online. Also, all of the Men’s Sheds have a page on beyondblue’s The Shed Online website theshedonline.org.au, where they can promote their activities and interact with the broad online community. Research shows that attending a Men’s Shed can improve men’s mental and physical wellbeing by helping them feel socially connected and less lonely. With loneliness and social isolation a growing problem in our communities, establishing a Men’s Shed is one of the best ways to ensure that men in your community stay connected to each other. The sheds often foster a sense of acceptance and create a sense of purpose as the men work together on projects such as making or fixing things for the community. So if there has been talk of starting up a Men’s Shed in your area, contact the Australian Men’s Shed Association on 1300 550 009.

Good actions and emergency access

Dear Editor, On a recent Saturday morning the lovely people from the Drysdale/Clifton Springs Lions Club helped me enormously and I would like to say thank you again. I accidentally locked my keys in my car at the Woolworths in Drysdale and my 21-month old son was stuck in the car along with my handbag and phone. The Lions group didn't hesitate in offering their service to help contact the RACV and provide comfort to me during this ordeal. A number of other kind locals also offered to help and I am incredibly grateful for that also. The kindness and support of these people restored my faith in the goodness of humanity and I thank you all again. Sarah Clifton Springs

Inclusive community use of netball courts Dear Editor, I refer to the old netball courts in Ocean Grove. Now that the Geelong council has decided to dispose of the land, it would be a fantastic result if a portion of the land was set aside to accommodate people with disabilities so that they are able to live independently (with live-in support). This would definitely be a win/win situation for the Ocean Grove community, making a very important and inclusive use of community land. We, as a community should all get behind and support the Members of the Bellarine Supported Living Group in their quest to convince the Geelong council to support such a move. Rod Morony Ocean Grove

A new direction for coastal decor Quality, unique imported furniture and decor is now available on the Surf Coast, thanks to an inspired idea by Jan Juc couple Jon and Sheryl Morrow.

One of the pieces from Easterly’s new range of unique imported furniture and decor items.

BY TIFFANY PILCHER

THE pair has travelled extensively and realised if they wanted to bring back so many items that wouldn’t fit in their luggage, others must too. About six weeks ago, they opened the doors for their new business, Easterly, which offers a wide range of dining tables, chairs, coffee tables, soft furnishings, lighting, artefacts and decorative items. Each item is handpicked by Jon and Sheryl from various regions of Indonesia and India and is available for viewing online and in their Jan Juc

showroom. “It’s got to be high quality and unique,” Jon said. “We’ve chosen unique pieces that are suited to the coast that we feel people would love to have in their homes. “It’s a real pleasure to have nice furniture and something to appreciate daily. We want to bring that experience to our customers.” Easterly’s ever-changing range of items comes in various styles, colours, and textures to suit any room or home. Jon and Cheryl also offer a relaxed, comfortable and easy shopping experience. “We want to make it easier for people down

here to get great furniture and great service without having to travel to Melbourne. “Call our 1300 number to visit the showroom anytime, or have a look through the range online. “We’re happy to chat about different options and if there’s anything we can help with, we will.” Easterly offers free delivery to Geelong and the Surf Coast, supply interior design services upon request and have a 10 day, 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee.

Occy wows the crowd at Surfers In Suits lunch BY JAMES TAYLOR

ASP WORLD Tour winner Mark Occhilupo had the crowd hungry for more at a lunch held by Surfers In Suits earlier this month. ‘Occy’ was the star attraction at the group’s latest Icon Series lunch, held at Encore at St Kilda Sea Baths. The teen surfing tearaway and 1999 world surfing champion was funny and honest while chatting to Mark Howard and Dermott Brereton in one-on-one interviews, and also happy to pose for photographs and sign autographs at the bar. The lunch was held as a fundraiser for the Bali Children Foundation, which will use the donation to continue the Surfers in Suits scholarship program with selected underprivileged students from the

Seeds of Hope orphanage in Kerobokan. Surfing Victoria’s junior team will also be assisted with their trip to Western Australia for the coming state titles. Surfers In Suits organisers thanked sponsors Jetstar, Semara Seminyak, CUB, Robert Oatley Wines, and The Perfect Wave for their support, as well as the many others who donated items for the raffle. Planning for the next Icon Series lunch is already under way. In other Surfers In Suits event news, anyone considering going on the Pipe Masters tour to Hawaii in December has been asked to register their interest, as only a limited number of spots will be available. For more information, head to surfersinsuits.com. au.

Harbouring fun, food and photography THE new Queenscliff Harbour is Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier boating and water-borne tourism destination, which still encapsulates a true working harbour.

Apprentices to plumb the finances

CFA issues reminder on product safety

BY JAMES TAYLOR

FAULTY appliances and wiring have caused a number of house fires within the past few months in the Barwon South West region. Many people are unaware of the broad list of items which have been recalled due to their possibility of overheating and starting a fire, and should check against the extensive list on the state government’s Product Safety Recall website. CFA District 7 operations manager Mick McGuinness said all Victorians needed to be vigilant of potential fire hazards in the home caused by loose fittings, old wiring, and poorly designed appliances. “While product safety recalls are generally promoted through newspapers, they will usually only appear once, and may be overlooked by readers. “Washing machines, dishwashers, fan heaters, isolator switches, computer batteries and power boards are just some of the items which appear on the website.” Each recall lists the state and sales outlets, defect and hazard details, safety information and how to contact the supplier for further action. In particular, purchasers of any recall items should note the hazard details and whether consumers need to immediately stop using them. “There are simple steps people can take to avoid a tragedy,” Mr McGuinness said. “Each year there are more than 4,500 house fires in Victoria. That’s 12 per day. Many of these could be avoided if people take the time to look at electrical cords for fraying or wear, and inspect appliances for loose fittings and damaged wiring. Keep electrical appliances in good working order. “Always engage an authorised repairer to fix faulty electrical items, or discard and purchase a replacement product. Ensure your home has a working smoke alarm. Know how to regularly test and clean your smoke alarm to ensure it is in good working order.” For more details of recalled electrical and household products, head to recalls.gov.au.

APPRENTICES can now get access to loans of up to $20,000 over four years through a federal government program. The Trade Support Loans will provide support of up $8,000 in the first year of the apprenticeship, $6,000 in the second, $4,000 in the third and $2,000 in the fourth. The loans will specifically target occupations on the National Skills Needs List such as plumbers, diesel mechanics, electricians and fitters, as well as priority areas in horticulture and agriculture. Last week, Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson announced the passage of the legislation enabling the loans through federal Parliament. She said the Trade Support Loans would encourage more young people to take up a trade and complete their qualification. “All too often, young apprentices do not complete their training because they cannot afford the costs associated with undertaking an apprenticeship. “These loans will ease the financial burden and help increase apprenticeship completion rates. She said apprentices who successfully completed their training would be rewarded. “When an apprentice completes their training, 20 per cent of the loan, or up to $4,000, will be immediately deducted from the total of their loan. “Like HELP loans for tertiary students, the loans will be repayable once apprentices are earning a sustainable income.” For more information on the Trade Support Loans, contact an Australian Apprenticeship Centre or head to australianapprenticeships. gov.au. MEANWHILE, Rheem is running its Apprentice Plumber Grants program in 2014. There are 25 grants of $1,000 each, which will be awarded to apprentice plumbers most in need

of financial assistance and to help them pursue their plumbing career. There are no restrictions placed on the grants – one of which was won last year by Jan Juc’s Jacob Hunt – and successful

applicants can decide how and when they use it. Applications close on August 31. For more information, head to rheem.com.au/ apprentice.

Youth can Change It Up BY JAMES TAYLOR THE youth of Armstrong Creek have been asked to come up with the big ideas for their future in a project being held in Geelong for the first time. The Change It Up project on Monday and Tuesday will be presented by Warralily, the City of Greater Geelong, the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) and Alcoa. It will bring together a group of young people 14 to 19 who live in and around the growth area to build their confidence, skills and networks to make their ideas happen. After brainstorming ideas that they think the community needs, the young people will then pitch to an invited group of people from organisations that may be able to assist them in bringing their ideas to life. At each Change It Up, young people can get

access to up to $1,000 of seed funding. FYA will facilitate the two-day session, which will be held at Narana Creations. Change It Up events have been run across the state but this will be the first time one has been held in Geelong. Through a partnership with the state government, FYA has expanded the Change It Up program into 30 rural and regional local government areas over three years. The state government has provided $540,000 in funding to support the partnership, with each regional project receiving $15,000 in funding. The Change It Up session in Geelong will be held at Narana Creations, 410 Surf Coast Highway, Grovedale, on Monday and Tuesday from 9.30am each day.

Get on your bikes and ride with new funding VICTORIA’S local governments are invited to seek funding from a new Transport Accident Commission (TAC) grants program designed to reduce deaths and injuries on local roads. The state government has announced the new LGA Small Infrastructure Grants Program, encouraging councils to apply for money for local projects to improve safety for their community’s riders and pedestrians. Assistant Treasurer Gordon Rich-Phillips said the program was aimed at preventing Victorians from being injured on local roads. “This program is about encouraging local solutions to the local safety concerns of cyclists and pedestrians,” he said. “Cyclists and pedestrians account for more than 1,600 injuries across the state each year. “The Napthine Government recognises the value of addressing this at a local level.

“Local government authorities are well-placed to understand local issues and are connected with local community groups who understand where safety improvements are required.” Mr Rich-Phillips said local governments could apply for grants of up to $25,000 for planning and researching innovative safety treatments. Councils with plans already in place are eligible to apply for matched-funding grants of up to $100,000 to cover the cost of developing the new infrastructure. TAC claims data shows that children and middle aged men are most at risk of being injured while cycling. Injuries resulting in a trip to hospital are most likely to occur at intersections (30 per cent), followed by riders being struck from behind by a car or other motorised vehicle moving in the same direction (25 per cent). Mr Rich-Phillips said the new program was part of the state government’s Road Safety Strategy 20132022. “The public told us that more bike lanes and paths and more pedestrian crossings were needed. “I’m pleased today to be launching this program to meet the community’s desire for safer infrastructure.” Victorian local governments have until August 30

to submit an application for a share of the $1 million in TAC funding available in the first round of the annual grants program. The LGA Small Infrastructure Grants Program

was developed in consultation with local councils, the Municipal Association of Victoria, VicRoads and other stakeholders. For more information, head to tac.vic.gov.au/lgagrants.

Driveway safety standards suggested for highway duplication BY JAMES TAYLOR THIS YEAR

LAST YEAR

A regional partnership with TAC and the Victorian Government Maintain vigilance about road safety. (Rural Vic Toll YTD) The above figures represent regional Victoria’s road toll.

A STATE government report has approved restricting right-hand turns from most driveways for safety reasons along the duplication of the Princes Highway between Winchelsea and Colac. Last week, VicRoads announced the release of the Planning Panels Victoria (PPV) report into the duplication, which will create of a four-lane, twoway divided carriageway 35 kilometres long with sealed shoulders and a median. The report states VicRoads plans to use Access Management Policy 3 – Limited Access Rural (AMP3) along the new stretch of highway, which will “minimise direct property connections to the road and where possible rationalise multiple

Toll 10x8

access points in order to enable the orderly and safe movement of high speed traffic”. The duplication will maintain direct driveway connections on the existing carriageway where practicable, but will restrict right turn entry and exit at most properties. The highway will have a three-metre sealed shoulder to allow vehicles entering private access to decelerate safely. Main property access from a side road will be allowed, but direct driveway access will only be provided where the estimated total traffic movements on the driveway connection do not exceed 20 vehicles per day. Driveway connections must be at least 200 metres from any other connection (driveway or

intersection), and driveways for neighbouring properties should be combined where possible. VicRoads originally considered median openings (to allow right hand turns from driveways and U-turns from either direction) every 5 kilometres, but has instead proposed openings every 2-3 kilometres. Construction on the duplication is expected to start next year and be finished by 2019. The PPV report is available to read at the VicRoads project office in Waurn Ponds, Bendigo Bank in Winchelsea, and Surf Coast Shire and Colac Otway Shire council offices. VicRoads will now finalise an adoption report, where recommendations are reviewed and responded to before being sent to Planning Minister Matthew Guy for approval.

Australia’s farmer population ‘competitively young’ BY DEAN WEBSTER A NEW study funded by the Rural Industries R&D Corporation has found that while the number of younger farmers entering agriculture continued to fall, the Australian farm population remained “competitively young” compared to other developed economies. The report quantifies the extent of structural ageing in the Australian farm sector, examines the behaviours that are causing structural ageing, and explores the social, demographic and economic conditions that influence these behaviours. The study found that the number of farmers aged

under 35 years of age had fallen by 75 per cent since 1976. The most important factor in this fall has been falling numbers of farms due to farm aggregation, leaving fewer opportunities for younger people to enter agriculture. The author of the report, Neil Barr from the Victorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries, said that another reason for declining numbers of younger farmers was factors that were common with the rest of the Australian labour market, including structural ageing of the Australian workforce and delayed entry to the workforce due to longer years spent in tertiary education.

“What sets farming apart from other occupations is the lowering rate of exit from farming among farmers aged over 65,” Mr Barr said. “Since 1991, the population of farmers aged over 65 has increased by 55 per cent. “This decreases the proportional measure of farmers aged under 35 and is also an important contributor to the increasing median age of the farmer population. “In addition to these factors, the increasing age of first marriage in Australia has reduced the number of younger female entrants to farming.” However, despite these figures the study concluded that there is little cause for concern over

any link between farm sector structural ageing, low recruitment of younger people into agriculture and food security. Australia has a younger farming population compared to all but one other developed country – New Zealand. Of particular importance is the study’s tentative finding that many of Australia’s younger farmers can be found on the larger farms which produce the bulk of Australia’s farm production. The publication ‘New entrants to Australian agricultural industries – where are all the young farmers?’ can be found on the RIRDC website: rirdc.infoservices.com.au/items/14-003.

Liquid nitrogen benefits explained to growers BY DEAN WEBSTER MAXIMISING efficiencies is, without doubt, one of the aims of every grain grower. At a recent presentation in Minyip and Warracknabeal, one grower spoke in detail about liquid nitrogen (UAN), and shared his knowledge and experience about how using it could bring significant efficiencies to grain crop nutrition. Erin Cahill is a farmer and independent agronomy advisor from Moora in Western Australia. In the 1990s, he was involved with extensive field research to develop liquid nitrogen fertilisers and now uses them exclusively on his 1,450-hectare cropping operation. Mr Cahill is the first person to say that weather conditions, soil types, topography and management strategies in the west differ from the cereal growing Erin Cahill, farmer and independent agronomy advisor, shares his knowledge and experience about the benefits areas of Victoria, but the fundamental principles and practices of using UAN can be applied with equally of using liquid nitrogen.

the practical advantages of using UAN help justify the price premium. “Compared to granules, UAN is perfect to store,” Mr Cahill said. “It's easier to handle and apply in wet conditions, and is quicker as it can save a pass when combined with pesticide.” And from his perspective as an independent agronomy advisor, he noted that 97 per cent of his mostly medium to large clients now used liquids, with 40 per cent of them using liquids only. “The accuracy, flexibility and efficiencies gained by using UAN has been demonstrated and proven to WA cereal growers, including those I work with.” Two trials undertaken in 2007 measuring unevenness of urea application and UAN on a client’s farm resulted in overall losses of $22.50 and $82.50 per hectare respectively. “Thinking about paddocks differently, to get the most out of each, is a key to success,” Mr Cahill said.

good results in areas including the Wimmera and Mallee. North West Ag Services and Incitec Pivot Fertilisers co-hosted the informative event, which was attended by both farmers and agronomists. The session began on farm at Robert Cowan’s operation at Minyip, and continued with a detailed presentation at North West Ag Services new store in Warracknabeal. Mr Cowan has integrated the use of liquid nitrogen into his cropping system and had his boomspray equipment and liquids unit on his seeder on display as a talking point for attendees to gather around. The presentation itself covered many aspects of Mr Cahill’s experience, including detailed data gathered on his own farm, clearly demonstrating the efficiency gains he has made since using UAN as opposed to granular nitrogen.

More disabled housing opens in Marshall BY JAMES TAYLOR NEW supported accommodation for seven people with a disability in the Geelong area is a leading example of the changes being introduced as part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The facility at Marshalltown Road, Marshall, consists of four independent living units for people with lower support needs and shared accommodation

for three individuals who require 24-hour care. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos joined City of Greater Geelong councillors and representatives of the NDIS and local support agencies to officially open the new accommodation last week. “The new homes at Marshall will provide accessible housing for seven people, with on-site support provided by Gateways Support Service – a not-for-profit organisation with extensive

experience in providing services to children and adults with a disability in western Victoria,” Mr Katos said. The project, which received more than $2 million in funding from the federal government’s Supported Accommodation Innovation Fund, is one of nine in Victoria. State Minister for Disability Services and Reform Mary Wooldridge said the state government had contributed more than $50 million over four

years to the Innovation Fund to support new accommodation to be built across the state. “This new accommodation will ensure individuals with a severe or profound disability, are able to live in appropriate accommodation for their needs. “The creation of the NDIS has challenged us all to come up with new and better ways of providing supports to people with a disability, and the new homes in Marshall certainly delivers this.”

Fanning the world title flames at J-Bay

MICK Fanning took a big step forward in his world title defence over the weekend, adding the J-Bay title to his Bells Beach win earlier this year to move into the third place in the world title rankings. Fanning was crowned event champion in epic conditions at Supertubes at stop 6 of 11 on the 2014 ASP Samsung Galaxy World Championship Tour (WCT). The reigning three-time ASP world champion faced fellow Australian Joel Parkinson in a hardfought final in flawless 6-10 foot conditions. The victory is Fanning’s third win at Jeffreys Bay (his previous wins were in 2006 and 2002). Fanning’s first wave of the heat earned him an excellent nine for two barrel sections and powerful carves. He went on to use his polished skills to bank a second solid score and a two-wave heat total of 17 (out of a possible 20). Parkinson, the 2012 ASP world champion, fought his way back into contention with rides of 7.43 and 6.17 but was still looking for 9.57 points when time ran out. “I never dreamed that I would get to surf a J-Bay

final with Joel (Parkinson),” Fanning said. “I’m so tired but it’s a dream-come-true kind of day. Joel is one of my favourite surfers and my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were kids. I’m so stoked. It was such an incredible day of waves and I’m just so thankful that I got to surf it. A big thanks to the ASP and everyone involved in bringing the event back to the tour.” Parkinson posted his second runner-up finish of the year and the result sees him move to second on the ASP WCT rankings. Meanwhile, legendary surfers Tom Curren and Mark Occhilupo took to the water in front of an enthralled crowd at Jeffreys Bay for the first instalment of the ASP Heritage Series. Curren’s effortless forehand approach saw him post a perfect 10 for three huge carves and a deep barrel, putting the Australian in a combination situation which Occhilupo couldn’t extract himself from.

Lleyton, Sam keep Oz flag flying! Tennis Geelong’s Rufus guards Wimbledon THOSE oft-maligned stalwarts of Australian tennis, Lleyton Hewitt and Samantha Stosur have done it again – both taking general meeting out championship events in recent weeks. Hewitt’s amazing record was added to when he took out the ATP event at Newport, Rhode Island (US) a couple of weeks back, with a hard-fought win over the 211 cm Croatian, second seed Ivo Karlovic, while Stosur teamed with Nenad Zimonjic to win the mixed doubles crown at Wimbledon, no less! Sometimes Hewitt’s career achievements aren’t given the recognition they deserve and his in-yourface confrontational style hasn’t always won the fans over in the same way that say, Pat Rafter did. That aside, capturing the world’s number one ranking at 19 years of age, his humbling of Pete Sampras in the US Open final, his memorable Wimbledon triumph and a number of Davis Cup victories have surely cemented his place as one of the all-time greats of Australian tennis. The Newport win gave him his 30th career ATP title, putting him up there with the elite players in the game’s history. Icing on the Newport cake came when he teamed with fellow Aussie Chris Guccione to take out the doubles title as well. Still plenty of tennis life for our Lleyton! Then there’s Samantha Stosur, who made a big addition to her impressive CV with victory in the mixed at Wimbledon, teaming with Nenad Zimonjic. Mixing disappointing results with stunning victories has been the cornerstone of her career, which has included a win (straight sets) in the U.S. Open over Serena Williams, if you don’t mind. Runner-up in the French Open to Francesca Schiavone might have been a let-down, but it’s still pretty good. Sam has five WTP singles titles to her credit and a whopping 24 doubles crowns. She has been runner-up on 14 occasions in singles events, to such luminaries as Sharapova, Azarenka, Williams, Bartoli. Not bad, not bad at all. Sam has also held the world number one doubles

ranking, just as a little aside. Both of these great Aussie players are trading blows with the world’s best every week - and the results prove that they’re still in there achieving bigtime!

New junior masters date RACQUET Works’ junior masters series has a new event scheduled. The final masters for the year is now at Lara T.C. on October 12. Inquiries to Robyn on 0418 176 508.

ALL club secretaries will have been informed of the coming general meeting of Tennis Geelong, set down for August 5 from 7.30pm at St. Luke’s Uniting Church, corner Barrabool and Scenic roads, Highton. Each club with teams playing in the summer pennant are required to send a representative to this important meeting, where paperwork for the summer competition and nomination forms will be handed out. Also on the agenda is general business and discussion on several proposed changes to bylaws, all of which is outlined in the paperwork sent to club secretaries. Each club should peruse these proposals and decide on how they will vote. Included in the proposals are possible changes to the starting times of pennant play and plans to change the way clubs are notified in the event of matches being cancelled due to weather problems – and more. Changes are occasionally made to help “streamline” the administration of tennis and are generally minor. Club officials – please put this event in your diary. Any inquiries regarding the general meeting should be addressed to the association secretary, Maureen Matheson by phoning 0409 012 614. Tennis Geelong’s annual general meeting will take place on September 2 at the same time and place. Club secretaries will again be reminded of this meeting date well prior to the event.

WIMBLEDON’S over and one of the unsung heroes that saw the smooth running of the prestigious tournament is, believe it or not, a six-year-old hawk with the name of Rufus. Rufus’ job was to patrol the precincts of Wimbledon for several hours a day during the tournament to deter the ongoing problem of pigeons, which love to feast on the grass seeds on those famous courts and just generally hang around and create nuisance. Rufus has assumed celebrity status in recent times with a site on Reddit, opened by handler Imogen Davis, called “Ask Me Anything”, detailing facts and stories regarding the hawk. Imogen, who has formed a strong bond with the woodland hawk, was distraught when he was recently stolen. Thankfully, the thieves did return Rufus after much appealing from the owner. The pigeons weren’t happy, though! Rufus did a fantastic job and will be back to do it all again next year Pictured above: Rufus’ handler, falconer Imogen Davis introduces the hawk to British tennis star Andy Murray.

Stress less and give the adrenal glands a rest Bec Winkler is a qualified naturopath with 10 years experience. She works at the Chiropractic Centre, Jan Juc. I'M WORKING on the assumption that most of you hear the term ‘adrenal exhaustion’ and draw a blank. If you are in the yes camp, my challenge for the next three minutes is fill in the gap. If you sat in my consulting room for a day, you would hear almost every single patient say “I’m tired”, or “The alarm goes off and I just want to roll over and go back to sleep”. Sound familiar? Let's wind the clock back a few millennia.

Our ancestors were a physical bunch, but apart from hunting and gathering and the occasional run in with a hungry tiger, their day-to-day life was relatively simple. Wake, eat, hunt, eat, sleep. No mortgages hanging over their heads, no stuffy offices to spend 10 hours a day in, no pre-processed food. They rose and fell with the sun, immersed themselves in nature and lived off the land. Enter the homo sapien of the modern era, and with it a whole lot more stress. We are constantly thinking, planning, working, communicating, emailing, Facebooking, eating, scheduling and doing, all the while day dreaming of a time and a place with sunshine, no deadlines and a whole lot of nothing. Us 21st-centurians are giving it a fair crack, and at some point, something's gotta give.

We work to make money to play, but we don't have time to play because we are always working. Relationships suffer, we eat out of packets, we lose touch with the environment around us, we want a quick fix for everything and we want it yesterday. Who is the guy trying to hold up the fort? Our adrenal glands. These are situated on top of our kidneys. These guys secrete lots of hormones, namely cortisol and adrenalin. Hence, when we perceive stress in any form, whether it be mental/emotional or physical ie a threat or heavy exercise, the adrenal glands produce these hormones to enable our body to deal with the stress. Cortisol triggers an increase of blood sugar to give us energy for either fight or flight. The trouble is we now encounter so much constant stress that our adrenals literally cannot keep

up. We simply push, push, push until our body tries to get our attention. Common symptoms of adrenal exhaustion include anxiety, heart palpitations, fatigue, waking unrefreshed in the morning, aches and pains, cramps, headaches, dizziness and weight gain. Our adrenals are part of a very complex, intricate system that also affects thyroid and reproductive hormones, potentially leading to thyroid problems, infertility, menstrual irregularities and our cardiovascular symptoms. The adrenal gland produces the hormone responsible for our salt/water balance to manage blood pressure. Adrenal load is a naturopath's “bread and butter”. We have the tools and remedies to restore and recharge those tired adrenals. But have I stressed you out with all this information?

Don’t believe the myths about diabetes WITH CREDENTIALLED DIABETES EDUCATOR RINSKY LAWRIE MYTH: People who have diabetes got it from eating too much sugar, or too many sweets. Truth: The two types of diabetes cannot be generalised because they have very different disease pathways

and causes. Type 2 diabetes often presents in families; if either of your parents or siblings has Type 2 diabetes you are at higher risk. Type 2 diabetes is also known to be caused by lifestyle factors. These are: sedentary living and eating a high calorie diet. Being overweight increases your risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Similarly, Type 1 is genetically linked, but differs because it is an autoimmune response that leads to destruction of the body’s ability to create insulin which results in diabetes, and its primary cause is not known. Theories suggest it is caused by environmental factors or viral infection. Bellarine Community Health is

having a Diabetes Awareness Day ‘Pit Stop’ at Portarlington Neighbourhood House from 10am-1pm Friday. Please drop in and get a grease and oil change for your diabetes awareness. Credentialled diabetes educator Rinsky Lawrie.

ADVERTORIAL

Enjoy a carefree lifestyle by the beach STAR of the Sea Village in Torquay delivers a carefree lifestyle by the beach. Situated only one kilometre from the golden sands of the coastline and only a short distance from a diverse mix of shops, cafes and attractions in Torquay’s town centre, residents get to enjoy the very best that Torquay has to offer. Residents report that they adore living in the smaller more-personalised village and many have referred to it as a boutique “community within a community”. At Star of the Sea Village, the vibrant and active community offers residents the unique opportunity

to develop new friendships, participate in activities and enjoy a strong sense of belonging. Stages one, two and three of the village sold out very quickly and now with the release of 18 homes in stage four, Catholic Homes is proud to announce that more than half have been sold off the plan. These homes will be due for completion by early 2015, before moving to the fifth and final stage. Star of the Sea Village combines independent living with a variety of village activities, including an indoor heated pool, theatre, gym, billiards room, function room, outdoor lawn bowls and a hair salon. The villa units offer relaxed living zones and are

equipped with a gas log fireplace, ceiling fans in all bedrooms, a stainless steel dishwasher, Caesarstone bench-tops, two bathrooms with single or double garage options. The sunlit two and three bedroom units are generously sized, offering a comfortable transition to low-maintenance living and include rear and side courtyards. The village maintains all front gardens and also conducts annual external gutter and window cleaning.

Owner-operator Catholic Homes urges interested parties to visit the village to enjoy a commitmentfree tour. Only six two-bedroom units remain with prices starting as low as $410,000. Star of the Sea Village is located at 1 Headland Drive, Torquay and is open for inspection seven days a week.

Training picks up as Surf Coast Century draws near BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Century ultra marathon is only 51 days away, so do not be surprised if you see lots of runners training on the local trails as they clock up kilometres in training before the event. The ultramarathon on September 13 starts and finishes at Anglesea, and takes in the coastal and hinterland trails along the Surf Coast. On race day, the faster relay teams are expected to finish the 100 kilometres in around seven hours and 30 minutes, with the top individuals coming in an hour or so after that. Some competitors both start and finish in

the dark, with some taking 20 to 22 hours to complete the course. Two of Australia’s best coaches and ultra running athletes – Nikki Wynd and Dave Eadie – will run a designated training camp for Surf Coast Century competitors on the first weekend of August. The training camp is designed to familiarise runners with the event course and provide them with key information that will help with their race preparation, such as nutrition, gear selection, injury prevention and race strategy. The full 100-kilometre course may be completed by teams (of two or four) and individuals so that just about anyone can be a part of the action.

There’s also a 50-kilometre solo race that makes the step into ultra-distance races a bit easier. Aireys Inlet’s Trudy Griggs has signed up to run the 50-kilometre course this year, having finished the 100 kilometre event previously in 2013 and 2012. “I love the terrain that I get to run through and the chance to complete an event of this calibre locally, which makes the logistics very easy,” she said. “The cut-off times are very generous so it’s an inclusive event for slow runners; if I can do it anyone can.” For more information on the 2014 Surf Coast Century, head to Surfcoastcentury. com.au.

Inverleigh farming systems open day THE Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) is running a free open day on farming systems next week. The July 29 event in Inverleigh will give an insight into how different farming enterprises are integrated into the operation of the whole farm. DEPI's Ralph Cotter said the day would be held at the property Murnong, a mixed farming operation that hosts

cropping, sheep and pigs. Mr Cotter said the day would look at a number of topics, including: • Property overview – enterprises, systems and challenges • Soil testing – improvement and management • Pastures – phalaris, rye grass, lucerne and natives • Sheep – genetics, nutrition and health • Cropping – short and long-term rotations

and legumes • Precision agriculture – data and economics. The open day is on Tuesday, 9.30-11am, at Murnong, 1,440 Inverleigh-Winchelsea Road. It’s a free event but bookings are essential as places are limited. To book a spot, contact Glenda Jackson at DEPI on 5226 4722 or email glenda. jackson@depi.vic.gov.au by July 25.

Trudy Griggs from Aireys Inlet is running the 50-kilometre event in this year’s Surf Coast Century, which will be held on September 13.

The Trash Test Dummies are popping up at the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts in August.

Trash Test Dummies anything but BY TIFFANY PILCHER A TRIO of acrobats are turning the idea of rubbish day on its head with a tumbling show all about the humble council garbage bin. Using slapstick and a stunning combination of balance, acrobatics and juggling, the Trash Test Dummies are coming to the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts in August. Fearless National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) graduates Jack Coleman, Simon Wright and Jamie Bretman are the brains behind the bins, and have perfected the hilarious, family-friendly performance. They recently won first prize at the Gasworks

Circus Showdown for excellence in circus and physical theatre and have taken their act to fringe festivals all over Australia. Wright said they first knew they were on to something when they stole the show at a school performance. “We were in our last year at NICA and doing a show about graffiti and art and the three of us were cast as council workers. “When we first started coming up with ideas everyone kept looking at us and laughing. “It was a natural progression from there but the hardest part was making it look natural when we were getting used to the bins.

“We played around with what we could do a lot and after graduation started doing our own thing, two weeks later we had Trash Test Dummies.” The performance now also includes a balance ladder, ping pong balls, garbage bags, and highintensity juggling. “There are lots of elements. There’s a sequence that is best described as Tap Dogs but with bins, babushka bins and all sorts of different things. It’s high-energy and we’ve designed it so the fun just keeps coming,” Wright said. Trash Test Dummies is one of many of the festival’s performances that are designed for the whole family.

“It’s slapstick comedy with adult humour that flies over the kid’s heads. “We want everyone to enjoy themselves and see grandparents walking out with a smile as big as the kids, and that’s what we’re getting, we’re really happy with that result.” The Lorne Festival of Performing Arts will get under way on August 29 with the Opening Night Cabaret Spectacular and continue to August 31. Opening night ticket options begin from $25 and weekend ticket options start at $35. To see the complete line-up of artists and acts, the event schedule and to purchase tickets, head to lovelornefestival.com.

The German cup runneth over LAST week all eyes were on the World Cup, and as we all know, Germany was very worthy winners. They’re also a country that’s pretty handy at making beer and wine too, but here in Australia, there’s still a long way to go to educating our wine lovers on the merits of German wines, principally their utterly amazing and world-renowned Rieslings. Gone are the days of ‘Blue Nun’ and the like, and thanks to a handful of passionate and committed importers over the last, say 5-10 years, the tide has certainly turned in their favour, as a new generation discover how good these wines are and how well they match with food, especially Asian dishes. It’s certainly difficult understanding the information on the labels and space doesn’t allow the in-depth insight required but here’s a quick lesson to get you started.

The country has five major wineproducing regions, which are:

Dan Sultan is at the top of the second Queenscliff Music Festival announcement.

QMF extends local line-up BY TIFFANY PILCHER QUEENSCLIFF Music Festival has pumped up its line-up this week with another crop of impressive Aussie acts. Soulful Dan Sultan leads the announcement, and is sure to draw a huge crowd off the back of his hit country-tinged rock album Blackbird, released in April this year. Following Sultan’s 2009 album, Get Out While You Can, a period of uncertainty about his musical future kicked in. For several years he stopped writing, split with his management and parted ways with his long-term guitarist, before he once again longed to create an album that realised his musical vision. That vision was to take classic Australian rock and roll and working-class blues and shine a light on Indigenous Australia. To do that, Sultan travelled to Nashville to write Blackbird with his band and producer Jacquire King, who has worked with Tom Waits, Buddy Guy and Kings of Leon. Sultan said he and King formed the close bond necessary to write about subject matter so close to his

heart. “When you’re recording, the song is a part of that day and that day is a part of that song,” Sultan said. “It’s like therapy, you go through what you’re going through and that can be pretty heavy. “Then you write about what you’ve been through, which can be therapeutic. “It’s something I feel very fortunate to be able to do, to get all that stuff out.” Sultan is joined on the line-up by folk sensations Husky, dynamic Western Australian blues and roots outfit Blue Shaddy, power trio Dyson Stringer Cloher and Melbourne genre-benders The Delta Riggs. Also on the bill are Tijuana Cartel, Tkay Maidza, Fela Kuti, The Shaolin Afronauts, Steve Smyth and Marlon Williams. This second announcement for the Queenscliff Music Festival precedes the highly-anticipated late winter announcement which is set to include a host of international artists. The festival will be held from November 28-30 and tickets are selling fast. For tickets, information and to see the full line-up so far, visit qmf.net.au.

Mosel – A famous wine region that lies south of the city of Trier, with the Mosel River snaking its way through the valley before emptying into the Rhine. The wines are light, lively, fruity and fragrant with a definitive ‘flinty’ character due to the slate soils. Nahe – With its picturesque landscape, and varied soils, the wines of this region can be fragrant and racy as any, yet complex/mineral-laden and spicy like no other region in Germany. Pfalz – Located in central Germany and is the biggest wine producing region and therefore known for its large volume, inexpensive output. The region is undergoing a return to small producers crafting more intense, higher quality wines from low yields. Rheingau – This is a long hillside bordered by the Rhine River to the south and the thick Taunus Hill forests to the north. South facing with a Mediterranean-like climate and largely clay soils, the wines here tend to be denser, richer and heavy. Rheinhessen – A rather large, varied region geography wise with likewise varying climates that grows many different types of grapes that are fragrant and mostly medium bodied. From a quality perspective, there is the VDP classification and the traditional Pradikat system, but that might have g to wait for another day as again, space won’t allow me

to elaborate. However, here’s a very short description of some common terms you will come across; Kabinett – means gently sweet or ‘fruity’. The wines tend to show low alcohol levels between 7 – 10 per cent. Spatlese – means ‘Late Harvested’, thus the grapes are left to ripen on the vine for longer. Auslese – means ‘Selected from the Harvest’, usually selected cluster by cluster and made to be fruity with residual sweetness. Beerenauslese – this means selected bunches of botrytis-shriveled fruit, that when made is incredibly rich, heady, complex and sweet. These wines are very rare and the grapes are selected one berry at a time! Eiswein – literally means ‘ice wine’ and is made from frozen grapes that are quickly pressed to extract only concentrated grape juice, leaving most of the water out as ice… the concentration is unique by any standards! Trockenbeerenauslese – ‘Trocken’ means dry but the wine certainly isn’t. This refers to the individually picked berries that are completely shriveled by the botrytis mould. These wines are crowned as the greatest and rarest of Germany’s wines. Here’s some wine’s to look out for:

Dr. Loosen Dr L Mosel Dry Riesling ($25) Pronounced Dr “Loh-zen”, this is an entry level wine showcasing the house style of taut lime juice, refreshing mineral acidity with a fine balance.

Von Buhl Pfalz Riesling Trocken 2013 ($28) This is organic and one of the best German Riesling values around. The super fresh 2013 Riesling is tasty, and quite racy with aromatic, succulent fruits and lime riddled zestiness, minerality and crisp acidity.

Joh. Jos. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling ($75) Mmm, the mere mention of JJ Prum triggers thoughts of Chinese food, which is enough to get these taste buds watering. The 2011 vintage produced forward and approachable wines and this wine shows exquisite balance, and a purity of citrus, white blossom/white peach fruit with lithe palate feel. Just amazing, really.

John Denver show hits country roads BY TIFFANY PILCHER

FANS of the late John Denver will have the chance to experience the legendary singer-songwriter’s music live with a show dedicated his memory at GPAC next Thursday.

Denver, who was also a celebrated actor, activist and humanitarian, produced classic western folk songs including “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “Annie’s Song”, “Rocky Mountain High”, and “Sunshine on My Shoulders”. Performer Bevan Gardiner will pay tribute to

Geelong’s new beer is no rumour – it’s a Furphy GEELONG can now raise a glass of its own amber liquid with the release of Furphy Refreshing Ale, a new beer brewed in the city. Now available on taps around town, Furphy Refreshing Ale is brewed using only Victorian ingredients. The beer’s water, barley, wheat, yeast and hops are sourced from regions such as Wimmera and Eurobin and brewed at the Little Creatures Brewery in Geelong. Lion Beer, Spirits and Wine regional director for Victoria Matt Windsor said plans to brew a beer for Geelong had been in train well before Little Creatures opened in the city. “We wanted to create something that the people of Geelong could proudly call their own – their own beer that comes fresh from their local brewery.” Furphy head brewer Warren Pawsey said the team was very proud of Furphy but could not have done it without the quality Victorian ingredients. “Initial inspiration for Furphy Refreshing Ale started with an old-style German ale still brewed in Cologne, called Kölsch.” The end result is a clean, crisp, delicately

balanced beer with subtle fruity flavours and aromas. Deep gold in colour and slightly hazy, there is a subdued maltiness balanced with subdued hop flavours which leads to a pleasantly refreshing finish. Furphy takes its name and pays tribute to the Furphy family of Shepparton, Victoria who have produced water tanks for more than a century. During World War I, Furphy water carts delivered fresh water supplies to Australian Army personnel. Marked with the ‘J. Furphy & Sons’ trademark, the tanks became gathering points where soldiers exchanged stories, gossip and rumours, or “furphies”. Great, great grandson of the founder and chief executive officer of J. Furphy & Sons Adam Furphy said the family felt special to have its name honoured in this way. “It’s not often you drink a beer with your name on it!” Furphy Refreshing Ale is initially available exclusively on-tap in Geelong, with a pack release due in the coming months.

Denver’s hits and his achievements in Take Me Home – The Music & Life of John Denver. The show has John Denver Management approval, and is authorised by Harold Thau, Denver's long time personal manager and friend. Gardiner has been a fan of Denver’s for more than 20 years, and in addition to his live performances of songs from Denver’s extensive discography, the show also features exclusive archival footage of the man himself. This footage shows Denver expressing concerns for the environment, his love of life, and explains the inspiration for many of his hit songs through to

his death in a single-fatality plane crash. Gardiner, who is partially sighted and can only see people as silhouettes, has an incredible vocal likeness to Denver and even travelled to Aspen, Colorado twice to meet Denver’s mother, Irma Deutschendorf, and brother, Ron. “I am really excited about bringing this show to Australia. I am a John Denver fan and to be able to sing his songs is such an honour,” he said. Take Me Home – The Music & Life of John Denver is coming to GPAC on July 31. Tickets are available now from the GPAC box office or online at gpac.org.au.

Bevan Gardiner is honouring John Denver’s legacy in Geelong next week with his show Take Me Home – The Music & Life of John Denver.

WHILE most people in Torquay will be hoping for fine conditions next weekend, Neil Murray is going to bring the thunder and rain to the Torquay Bowls Club. Murray’s latest album Bring Thunder & Rain delivers songs with a quality assuredness from a song man with a three-decade plus career. He will be performing songs from it and his back catalogue as part of the album launch at the bowls club. Teamed with producer Craig Pilkington, Bring Thunder & Rain is Murray’s 12th solo release and draws on musical styles Murray has absorbed since the 1960s. Neil Murray is not a household name. Much of his journey has taken him beyond the reach of commercial interest, but nonetheless his influence is as undeniable and pervasive as many much higher profile artists. It is well known he was a founding member of the pioneering 1980s Indigenous group The Warumpi Band, that he wrote “ My Island Home” (for which he received an APRA song of the year award in 1995) for the Warumpi’s lead singer George Rrurrambu. The song went on to be recorded by Christine Anu and featured at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Apart from the enduring legacy of “Blackfella Whitefella” and other classic Warumpi Band songs he helped create, Murray has continued to churn out remarkable work with a solo career that commenced in 1989. Murray will be performing at the show presented by hiphipshebang with M.E. Baird as the support act. Baird is an Australian gothic folk and shattered country singer/songwriter with a musical career

that spans two decades. His song writing has been described as cinematic vignettes full of tragedy, despair, elegance and beauty. Murray and Baird will perform on August 3 at

the Torquay Bowls Club from 3pm. Tickets can be purchased from trybooking.com.au/FADJ or at the door. Bistro on the Green will be open for lunch, bookings can be made on 5261 9881.

Neil Murray is launching his 12th album, Bring Thunder & Rain, with a performance along with M.E. Baird at the Torquay Bowls Club on August 3.

Adam Granduciel’s The War on Drugs is the first act announced for the 2014 Meredith Music Festival, to be held in December.

ballot and locked in December 12-14 as the dates for this year’s event. Formed in 2005 by frontman Adam Granduciel and folk artist Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs remains Granduciel’s baby with the support of a semi-transient touring band. They released their dense third album, Lost in the Dream, in March this year, following up on their breakthrough 2011 release Slave Ambient. Setting up shop along the Philadelphia’s east coast, North Carolina, New York and New Jersey, Granduciel recorded the new album between two years of constant touring. Lost in the Dream has widely been hailed a masterpiece and a display of classic American rock, with comparisons being drawn with Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen and 80s-era Bob Dylan. Aunty Meredith has spoken, calling it “without a doubt my favourite album of this year” and “a piece of art for the ages”. The War on Drugs will take up a Friday night slot on the timetable, previously filled by other international super-bands such as Brian Jonestown Massacre and Spiritualized. In other MMF news, the festival will keep remain slightly smaller again this year after successfully reducing ticket sales by 500 last year. The Meredith Music Festival will be held from December 12-14. For more information and to enter the ticket ballot, visit mmf.com.au.

Ten trucks were stationed in the busy thoroughfare between 11am and 2.30pm, offering a diverse range of cuisines including Vietnamese, Mexican, pizza, vegan and vegetarian dishes and more. Food Truck Friday will return to the same spot again tomorrow for the third and final time. Photo: TIFFANY PILCHER

Silence comes to life at Geelong Gallery exhibition BY TIFFANY PILCHER

A STUNNING new multi-media installation at Geelong Gallery is exploring Australian ecology including water usage, habitat removal and species extinction. To create the exhibition, Silent Life, the third in her ongoing series, Boonah artist Sally Cleary has created a 12-metre boardwalk which spans a river made from porcelain slip that will slowly dry and crack over time. Two porcelain Barking owls are perched on fence posts in the river, and sound and light, including Cleary’s recordings of the owl’s evocative cries, add layers and depth to the work. Cleary said she found inspiration at her home on the fringes of the Great Otway National Park. “When I first moved to Boonah 13 years ago, the area was home to a population of the Barking owl, the Ninox connivens species. “It is now cited on the extinction list for this region, due to habitat removal. “At night I could hear their ‘barking’ so clearly, but I just don’t hear it at all anymore.”

“Lighting plays an essential role in controlling the pace and ‘stillness’ of this installation and it is also a representation of night or moonlight and day. “Sound is used as a trigger for connecting us to the landscape, and reminding the audience that once the sound of nature is gone, we are left with silence.” Along with Cleary’s recordings in the Otways, the soundscape features the calls of a pair of Barking owls that reside in the Healesville Sanctuary as a reminder of the threat of extinction and, according to Cleary, the possibility that in the future we may only see these owls as taxidermy specimens within a museum environment. The gradual drying and cracking of the floor throughout the duration of the exhibition provides a time-based element pointing to the issues of drought and global warming. Silent Life is on display at Geelong Gallery, 55 Little Malop Street Geelong until September 7. Cleary will be hosting a free Artist’s Floortalk event on Sunday August 24 at 3pm, no bookings are required to attend.

with Mary-Ellen Belleville

WITH the onset of winter, I find my todo list reads very differently. Squirreling away the sugar gum chunk by chunk into storage is a sure indicator that our household is preparing for cosy nights by the fire. Fired up with hearty soups and casseroles, our diet shimmies away from the salads and light meals into the winter range of old favourites, plus a few new dishes that I find myself repeating almost weekly. I want to share a recipe with you that is my new-found fav. It’s a hearty beef curry from Charmaine Solomon. Her classic book, The Complete Asian Cookbook never fails to inspire and educate me in its wide ranging scope which covers cuisines of Vietnam, India, Thailand, China, Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and on it goes. My evenings are spent more often with a book in hand – too dark to muck about in the garden after work – and hence I’ve thoroughly enjoyed delving into books such as Cooking for Kings – the life of Antonin Careme, which lead me onto reading White Truffles in Winter – the story of Augustine Escoffier – both fantastic insights into essentially two

of the first ‘celebrity chefs’! You see, there’s really nothing new under the winter sunshine. But back into the kitchen – another new-found favourite of mine is slowbaked fennel with garlic and cumin. I’ve used this as a vegetable accompaniment with roast pork – the fennel is a perfect foil for the richness of the pork. Simply place a whole peeled clove of garlic onto each large chunk of fennel, scatter with whole cumin seeds, drizzle with EVOO or a knob of butter and wrap in foil. Bake in oven 40 mins – the fennel should be meltingly tender and the garlic will be nutty and sweet – squish the garlic into the fennel and serve. I’m using more chillies in various dishes, as well as adding fresh ginger to many recipes and have found fresh chillies can be simply popped into a seallock plastic bag and frozen – so handy to just take out and chop up as required. Sri Lankan Beef Curry – this dish is made especially delicious by the blend of curry powder which Charmaine gives. It is worth making the curry powder – you’ll find yourself using this in other dishes. It would also be a lovely gourmet gift to give to a friend!.

SHIMMY INTO A NEW WINTER CURRY

Ceylon Curry Powder INGREDIENTS 1 cup coriander seeds 1 tablspn fennel seeds 1 cinnamon stick 1 tspn cardamom seeds 2 tspns chilli powder (optional)

1/2 cup cumin seeds 1 tspn fenugreek seeds 1 tspn whole cloves 2 tablspn dried curry leaves

METHOD In a dry pan, ‘roast’ the coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek seeds separately, stirring constantly until they are quite brown and aromatic. Do not let them burn. Combine all spices in a blender or food processor, together with the cinnamon stick broken into pieces, the cloves, cardamom and curry leaves. Blend on high speed until ground to a fine powder. Add extra chilli if you prefer a hotter curry. Store in an airtight jar..

Beef Curry INGREDIENTS 1.5kg diced grass-fed beef (5cm pieces) 2 large onions – roughly chopped 3-4 cloves garlic – finely chopped 1 tspn ground turmeric 2 tspns salt 2 fresh red chillies – finely sliced

3 tablspns EVOO or ghee 1 tablspn fresh ginger – chopped 4 tablspns Ceylon curry powder 2 tspns brown mustard seeds 1 tablspn vinegar 3 ripe tomatoes – roughly chopped

METHOD Heat oil or ghee in large frying pan or heavy-based pot and sauté onions, ginger and garlic until just beginning to colour. Add curry powder, turmeric, mustard seeds and fry over gentle heat 2-3 minutes. Add salt, vinegar and stir well. Add beef, stirring to coat the meat well. Add chillies and tomatoes, cover pan or pot and simmer on low heat for up to two hours. It is quite a ‘dry’ curry – if you wish to add a little water toward the end of cooking you can. Serve with rice.

Lions share art space in Torquay THE Torquay Lions Village has opened its community centre for exhibitions of local artists’ paintings. According to Lions Village Torquay chairman Phillip Newson, opening the Village Community Centre for the display of local art serves at least two purposes. “Firstly, it provides an opportunity for local artists to have their paintings

displayed to the public as they are on display seven days a week. “As well, village residents are able to see a variety of artworks every couple of months without having to travel to other venues. “We have already had a wonderful exhibition from local artist Jill Ray.” Currently, there is an exhibition of painting titled Outback to Ocean

Ms Thomas and Ms Tresize with Village chairman Phillip Newson.

by Rita Thomas who has lived in Torquay for more than 25 years. Rita relocated from Melbourne to Torquay to pursue her love of pottery and sculpture after completing a Diploma of Art and Design. She studied Chinese and brush painting with internationally renowned artist Anthony Sum. “My first love was working with clay in its three dimensional forms and I ran classes from my studio on Horseshoe Bend Road for a number of years. “However, when I moved into Torquay itself some 10 years ago I have concentrated on painting with watercolours and acrylics.” Rita has a love of travel both in Australia and overseas which has inspired her latest exhibition. “I love outback Australia, particularly northern Australia and, of course, living in Torquay provides me with daily views of our everchanging seascapes.” Mr Newson invited other Torquay artists to take advantage of the space available at the Lions Village Community Centre. “Anyone interested in exhibiting in the village should contact Jenny Tresize on 5264 8755.”

MOORE WEEKLY STARS

JULY 25 - 31 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014

If someone else is managing your money, then make sure you have your finger on the pulse and know exactly what’s going on. Your self-confidence takes a temporary tumble on the weekend, when someone jumps to conclusions and criticises you unfairly. Avoid responding with sharp words or sarcastic comments. Strive to shrug things off with an abundance of Aries aplomb.

Are you trying to get closer to a child or teenager but they keep pushing you away? Patience and persistence are the keys to improving the relationship. Avoid the tantalising temptation to gossip on the weekend. If you pass on information that was given to you in confidence, you’ll end up feeling foolish and friendless. Zip your lip Crabs and find something constructive to do!

Your delicate diplomatic skills are needed early in the week, when you step in and play the peace-maker – but don’t get caught in the cross-fire! The moon moves through your sign from Friday through to Sunday which highlights your Libran elegance and timeless style. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great Yves St Laurent “Fashions fade, style is eternal”.

Communicating with others is complicated, as you dig beneath the surface and get to the bottom of old emotional issues. But, if you are jealous or possessive, then you’ll find yourself deep in disagreement with a loved one. Friday is a fabulous day to cement a relationship with a proposal or gesture of commitment … but there may be a hidden catch that you haven’t anticipated.

Leos are proud people who love to pontificate but, this week, heaps of hubris will land you in heaps of hot water. If you are too full of yourself, others will cut you down to size. Try a little humble humility instead! Mercury moves into your sign on Friday until August 16 which favors lively conversation – but once again avoid the temptation to monopolise social situations.

Early in the week, avoid using power games and emotional manipulation to get what you want. Cool compromise is the smart way to go. With the sun, Jupiter and Mercury all charging through your career zone, all eyes are on you at work. So make sure you are putting on a good show Scorpio! If you’re looking for employment, be adventurous and cast your net wide.

Mercury shifts into your solitude zone from August 1-16 so it’s time to recharge your run-down batteries and reflect on the future. Words of wisdom for the week come from singer/songwriter Kate Bush born on July 30 “There’s an awful lot you can learn about yourself when you’re alone”. On Sunday, avoid using words as weapons – or making promises that you later regret.

Curiosity and optimism are high but don’t skim the surface Sagittarius. There’s more going on than you realise so take the time to investigate properly. Keep your ego in check on the weekend. If you impulsively jump on your high horse, you’ll arouse the opposition of others. Impetuous ideas and spontaneous shenanigans could backfire badly, so take the time to think things through.”

Twins are curious, quicksilver creatures. If you want to achieve your goals this week and impress others then flash-in-the-pan plans are out and patient progress is in. You’re especially nosey on the weekend as you uncover a secret, pass on gossip or study up a storm. But, with Mercury squaring Mars, be careful that your motor mouth doesn’t get you into trouble!

MISS NUDE

Will be performing two hot shows on the main stage.

Fri 25th & Sat 26th July

Venus and Saturn rev up your relationship zone, which usually signals a settled time of heightened romance. But Uranus throws a curved ball into the mix, and a union heads off in an unexpected direction. And it will be hard to balance your desire for commitment with the other person’s need for independence. Wednesday is wonderful for nurturing your international contacts.

Rebellious behaviour will get you into trouble. You’re ambitious for success but think twice before you challenge authority figures, arouse the opposition of colleagues or upset loved ones. Diplomacy is not your natural forte, but it’s exactly what’s needed ATM. Contributing to your local community turns into a win for everyone. The more you give, the more you’ll receive in return.

Pliable Pisceans are perplexing at the best of times! Try to communicate clearly mid-week, otherwise confusion and monumental mix-ups are likely and self-delusion is a danger. The weekend is wonderful for romantic reveries and declarations of undying love – but don’t get too carried away with extravagant promises, vague dreams and pie-in-the-sky schemes.

Why do people make computer viruses? TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS

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

YOU sit down to browse the net or do your book work or whatever it is you use your computer for and BANG, something goes wrong. It’s a #@$%# virus! Blame the kids, blame the internet or blame the friend who sent you that funny joke email that had a virus in it. Why do these people write these viruses in the first place? The first virus writers were just computer scientists learning how to use programs to move things around on their computer networks. It then progressed to programs that might pop up a message or a joke on your computer and were generally spread by floppy disks. With the advent of the internet it opened the target audience up to millions of systems. Now viruses have become extremely sophisticated, written and used by anyone from script kiddies up to organised crime.

Some reasons people write these are: Money – Viruses that infect your system and trick you into putting in your credit card details to purchase software that either doesn’t work or doesn’t exist. Control – some viruses run programs in the background to do the bidding of the cracker who wrote them. They link up all these zombie computers (sometimes in there millions) and use them to bring down a business network or website, send out SPAM email or do whatever bidding the programmer chooses without your knowledge. Steal – Steal your sensitive information like passwords and bank accounts documents etc. This information can be used for identity theft purposes. Glory – Some virus makers are purely just in it for the glory and to show off their skills and what they can do. Whatever their reason, they are here to stay, so be careful what you click on and run your antivirus scan often.

PALMERS PLASTER

Palmers Plaster an institution BY TIFFANY PILCHER

young people become qualified and on the right path. General manager Julian Thompson has been with Palmers for 23 years, working his way up from his first position as delivery driver and storeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to provide a professional service and products to our clients as well as push the boundaries with architectural finishes is an exciting challenge for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Thompson said providing quality customer-based service where the customers input is not only welcomed but a key factor in providing a great end result is the focus for Palmers.

PALMERS Plaster has been a Geelong institution for more than 100 years, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still offering the same great service, professional advice and top quality workmanship today. Known for their mastery of all aspects of plastering, Palmers has won countless awards over the years. They are also passionate about giving back to the community and in 2012 they received the Distributer of the Year award for instigating a trade certified course for local unemployed youth in conjunction with Northern Futures and The Gordon to help

Modewarre (7th) vs. Queenscliff (5th) @ Community Bank Oval, Saturday 2.10pm

Ocean Grove (3rd) vs. Geelong Amateur (1st) @ Ocean Grove Memorial Recreation Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm

Modewarre will go into this game as underdogs against an improving Queenscliff outfit. However, the Warriors showed what they are capable of earlier in the season. The return of Nik Orvis, Steve Owen and Roscoe Holmes was not enough for Queenscliff when Modewarre triumphed by 34 points in round 8. The Warriors have only taken away the four points once in the past five rounds at Community Bank Oval, whereas Queenscliff have won five of its last six away games. Player to watch: Zac Henderson; the Queenscliff teen has raised eyebrows in his first year of senior footy, his speed is exceptional and he is an exciting player to watch. Prediction: Queenscliff by 29 points.

The most likely side to end Geelong Amateur’s unbeaten run this year would have to be the Grubbers, who are 6-1 at home this year. Ammos will warmly welcome back Rowan McSparron into the side this week. The veteran had kicked 37 goals in five games before departing for a family holiday after round 11. In round 8, Ammos ran out 27-point winners against Ocean Grove. Power forward Damien Zaparenkov booted six majors that day, while at the other end Travis Gavin kicked four. Player to watch: Josh Westwood; the former South Barwon hard nut was best-on-ground in just his third game of the year for Ammos last week and is very dangerous around goals. Prediction: Geelong Amateur by 38 points.

Sitting one game outside the top five, Barwon Heads is in need of a percentage-boosting win on Saturday. It is most likely that even if remaining unbeaten the Seagulls will fall unbearably short of playing finals, similar to last year when they missed out by a narrow six points behind rivals Ocean Grove. The Demons had an impressive first half against the reigning premier last week, although the Seagulls will make them suffer if they are unable to carry out four solid quarters on Saturday. Player to watch: Dylan Weir; if the Demons are to have any success on Saturday they will need to find the former Bell Park up forward. Weir only joined the Demons in round 8 this year after leaving the Dragons. He has potential to cause damage when the ball is in his hands.

The Tigers handed Drysdale a 68-point hiding in round 9 at Spring Creek Reserve. If able to produce a similar result on Saturday then a top-three finish is a certainty. Despite the home ground advantage, the Hawks have only won two of its past five games at Drysdale Recreation Reserve. A loss for the Hawks will see them most likely drop to fifth spot and on equal points with sixth-placed Barwon Heads. Player to watch: Isaac Baker; the forward has kicked 49 goals this season, including two bags of eight, and will again be hard to stop on Saturday. Prediction: Torquay by 31 points.

Prediction: Barwon Heads by 62 points.

likely sing the song in their home rooms for just the second time this season, while Newcomb will look to narrow the final losing margin of 143 points when these sides squared off in round 2. Player to watch: Josh Bouwman; last time these sides met he impressed with four goals. His consistent season sees him lead Anglesea’s goalkicking, so expect his tally to rise with a bag this weekend. Prediction: Anglesea by 105 points.

Anglesea (8th) vs. Newcomb Power (10th) @ Alcoa Oval, Saturday 2.10pm With finals contention far out of reach for both sides, improvement will be the number one goal for the remainder of the season.

Torquay in dominant netball display over Anglesea THERE were no close games this week, with some of the league’s top teams doling out huge scorelines. However, the biggest match of the round was between second-placed Torquay and third-placed Anglesea at Alcoa Oval. The Tigers ran out a 59-40 victory with goaler Joanne Warnes dominant in the absence of star shooter Amy Vogels. The reigning premiers are counting down to their rematch with Geelong Amateur in the final round of the season. Bethany Dangerfield was in the best again for the

Roos. Geelong Amateur remain unbeaten after 14 rounds with a dominant win over Drysdale at home. The Ammos showcased some polished netball, with suffocating defensive pressure across the court and slick moves in attack. Goaler Mickayla Ward was a standout, shooting at 88 per cent and creating several turnovers in the midcourt. The Ammos will face Ocean Grove next week. The Grubbers defeated Barwon Heads 59-35 in an anti-climactic ‘Battle of the Bridge’. Goaler

FROM THE

Alexandra Lee scoring a whopping 49 goals and defender Candice Parker notched yet another beston; she will have a red-hot crack at the league best and fairest. The Grubbers still sit just outside the top four on percentage but face a tough test against Geelong Amateur next week. Modewarre were out to prove a point with a 9921 demolition of Newcomb. The Warriors still sit in sixth place behind Ocean Grove and will need all the percentage they can get for the run into finals.

The Warriors midcourt gave their goalers plenty of supply with Sarah Gunning awarded three votes. Both Sarah Fisher and Rebecca Thompson shot above 80 per cent. Portarlington, boosted by the return of defender Tania Du Plessis, smashed Queenscliff 55-18. The Demons hold onto fourth spot but both Ocean Grove and Modewarre are fighting to knock them out. Portarlington will meet Barwon Heads next week.

Recreational Forums 2014 For the sixth consecutive year, Fisheries Victoria in partnership with VRFish will hold 10 recreational fishing forums across the state in July and August. The forums provide anglers with the chance to have their say about how best to grow recreational fishing. They are also an opportunity for fisheries managers to inform anglers about projects that Fisheries Victoria is undertaking to improve fishing in our bays, inlets, rivers and streams. There have been many great suggestions from anglers at past forums, most recently in 2013 and 2012. Consulting widely with recreational fishers is an important component of the state government’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative. If you cannot make it along to these public forums, but want to pass on feedback or suggest an idea for a new project, then email improving. fishing@depi.vic.gov.au or post them on the DEPI Facebook page.

Surf Coast FC senior men secure much-needed win

Surf Coast FC’s goalkeeper Barry Schroeter.

AFTER much soul searching during the week, Surf Coast FC’s State League men bounced back with a 2-0 win against Strathmore, in Strathmore. The team started well, not giving the second place opponents much time on the ball nor giving them the chance to get there game going. After an early scare, the team settled in to the game. Using width in attack, the men went down the wings via Ben Ward and Riley Dean. At the 35 minute mark, Surf Coast were awarded a penalty. Rhys Manning converted the goal, giving them the lead and belief that had been missing for the past few weeks. In the second half, the game was not as

pretty, but the boys were determined to hang on to the lead, defending with urgency. Surf Coast looked dangerous all day from corner kicks, and were awarded one about 15 minutes in to the half. Alan Dower whipped the ball into the goal square, and Matt Slater headed it in near post. A great moment for the team, and for Slater who battled hard to secure his place in the team. Winning all positions on the ground, Surf Coast reduced Strathmore to long bombs over the top, but goalkeeper Barry Schroeter would not be beaten in goal, and holding on to get his long-overdue clean sheet. Overall, a great performance from the team, and a proud moment for Surf Coast FC.

The Surf Coast FC under 11 boys enjoyed a good game against Barwon Heads. Here, Kye breaks free from two Barwon Heads’ opponents.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB ANOTHER week in the cold and it seems the best place to be is in front of the TV. We have been spoilt for choice with the World Cup, the Tour, the Commonwealth Games about to start, and the absolute highlight for our golfers – the British Open. It was great to see Rory McIlroy coming through for a decisive win – hopefully some of you can pick up some tips – for me he just hits the ball such a long way. The weather has proved challenging for some of our bowl competitors, with the early mornings and horrid weather putting paid to travel. It seems our ladies are sensible enough to pull out before the 90 minute drive when it is wet, windy and cold. Welldone ladies – that’s good course management.

WITH MARGOT SMITH

lunch seemed a much better option. We did seem to have all weather – rain, sunshine and wind – but we had no warmth!

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

FROM THE GOLF SHOP

The men had the best of the weather on Wednesday with a par competition and all but one finishing their rounds. Winners were Ken Taylor in A Grade with 1 up, Ray Shaw in B Grade with 2 up on a count back from Tom Leeds, Mike Grossman in C Grade with 3 up, and Alan Parton in the seniors with 1 up. NTP winners were Daryl Britnell, Graeme Callahan, Colin Paterson and Calvin Robbins. It was another horrid Thursday for the ladies. The car park was busy – but more with clubs going back in car boots. A few ladies did attempt to play but didn’t see through the 18 holes. Coffee, raffles, a quickly convened meeting on amalgamation, and

The weekend was a little more settled but still cold. Saturday was stableford and the busiest day. Winners in the mens grades were, Frank Funder in A Grade with 37 points, Val Kalezic in B Grade with the day’s best score of 41 points, and Ian Martin in C Grade with 38 points. The ladies had a tough day on a wet course and it was reflected in the scores. Vida Brenner won with 28 points and the balls down the line were for 25 points! NTP winners were Peter Parfitt, Ken McLennan, David Hitchcock and Kevin Friel. Sunday was a little better and a smaller field. Sue Britnell won the ladies event with a tidy 1 down and the ladies nearly made a clean sweep on the NTPs – Judy Talbot won both back nine holes and Sue Britnell had a win on the 6th. In the men’s event, the winner was Ken McLennan with 3 up on a count back from Daryl Britnell, and Sandy Talbot took the NTP on the 3rd. The club has the 2014 President’s and Captain’s Dinner on Saturday August 2. This year we have our new chef, Bruno Malzacher, preparing a 5-course degustation menu. The cost is $75 per person and bookings are via the office. Enjoy your golf.

CONGRATULATIONS to our 4BBB Mixed Stableford Loader Trophy winners for 2014. Graham Gill with a solid final round won by 1 one shot ahead of the field and finished with 138. Chris Barr stormed home to finish with 134 and win by 2 shots. Both players will receive their trophies on presentation day. Monday it was the Vets/Seniors monthly 14 hole event and Ken Ballard with 31 won the men’s and for the ladies Helen Bloink 28. NTPs Ken Ballard and Val Robertson. Tuesday the ladies played par and Ainsley McCallum now finding some form shot +3 to win A Grade. Dorothy Baker was in good touch and took out B Grade with +2. Well done to Judy Sceney taking out her 1st Resort win scoring 36 points. NTPs Carole Mayne, Dee Matheson, Lyn Delmenico and Jenny Gleeson. Jeanette Langan playing a lovely shot into 13 won the jackpot. Wednesday the men played the last round of the mid-week championships and winning the net with rounds of 72 and 65 was Dominic Condon, taking out the gross Paul Walters with 73 and 77. Congratulations to both players. In the daily competition, Rob Young finished with 69 to win A Grade. B grade went to Ashley Cormick with 67. Our net champion Dominic Condon also took home the C Grade win with his 65. David Dickson was again back on top for the resort with 42

points. NTPs Noel Jaques, Danny Willersdorf, Peter Garland, Ashley Cormick and Ron Waters. Graeme Sharp hit another good shot on the 17th to win the jackpot. Friday as bad as the weather conditions were, 16 men took to the course and 16 finished. Shooting -2, Alan Tompkin had the best score to win. The ladies, however, did not fare as well. Only 8 started and only 3 finished and with -3 Lyn Delmenico was the winner. NTPs Brian Baranski and Ian Foot. Saturday 4BBB stableford was played and leading the way Andy Clark and Leighton Howes with 51 points. They won by three shots from Garry Lenehan and Michael McKinnon on 48 points. With 44 points, Jim Newton and David Dickson won the Resort. The ladies played stableford and Lyndsey Dunstan put in a great round to finish with 41 points. NTPs Ray Furphy, Tony Mensch, Danny Guiney, Barry Grigg, David Dickson and Annette Joyce. Peter Oliver back into action after his long absence with injuries made a good stroke on 17 to win the jackpot. Sunday, Anthony Matheson took out the men’s win with 41 points and for the ladies Ronnie Beacom came home strong to finish on top with 36 points. NTPs John Potter, Joe Magliano and Greg Dennis took home the jackpot win. This week in the golf shop we have huge savings on both men’s and ladies’ polos, C&B, Nike, Adidas, Fayde and Sporte Leisure.

FROM THE MEMBERS’ ROOM went to Carol McDonald on the 7th.

Wednesday Par: There were several names bunched at the top of the leaderboard, but one name stood above the rest. With an impressive score of +4, Luke Rayner was able to secure a 1 point win over runner-up (in a count back) Billy Mitris who came in with +3. NTP honours went to Luke Rayner on the 5th and Gavan Clark on the 13th. Saturday Stableford: It was a two-grade affair and though the conditions were fierce, the members were game and we saw both grades go right to the wire. In the A Grade, we had Tony Spence score an impressive 39 to win by 2 over runner up Dale Allan. In the B Grade, it was Tom Nelson following up his great play on Tuesday with another win. This time he scored 35 points for a 1 point win over runner-up Wayne Rees. NTP honours went to David Mallett on the 5th, Gavin Saunders on the 13th and Tim Hester on the 17th.

MEDLEY Tuesday Stableford: Plenty were out and about as the 9 hole medley was joined with the seniors 9 and wine. The winner was Tom Nelson with 21 points, runner up was Jim Demetrious in a count back, with 19 points. Sunday Par: It was an enjoyably sunny Sunday as we saw good numbers for the par medley comp. The winner this time around was Tim Hester who scored an outstanding +4 to win by two over runner up Blake Chadwick.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB THE 1,265 trees at our golf course are a very attractive and recognisable feature of it, and while there are many occasions when us golfers curse and swear at them, we really do love them! However, the club has a responsibility to keep our environment safe, and as such has an outside company come in for a regular tree audit. From this most recent audit, we have learnt that unfortunately there are 67 trees that need to be removed, and another 40 that need work. The good news is that these trees are always replaced with a more appropriate species for our environment.

and Mary Higginbotham rose to the occasion with their nett 69 to be three shots clear of the minor placegetters, Nancy Hendy and Jill Barker, and Bec Waldron and Jill Peppard. NTPs went to Jean Pardy and Jacqui Murrihy, while the Pro Pins went to Marg Quick (A) and Maureen Walsh (B).

Saturday July 19, Men’s and Ladies Par, 1st Round of Men’s Winter Plate

Fifty-six ladies graced the greens for the 4th round of the Sue Stewart knockout, and Carmel Scarff

A large group of men were gathered around the +2 mark, with only one player, Luke Carracher managing to emerge from the pack with his 3 up to win Trophy of the Day and B Grade from Peter Nash on +2. Bob Gibbs and Lloyd James were others on +2 to top the A Graders, and Bernie Duffy’s 2 up got him the C Grade choccies by a shot from Ian Flanders. Arthur McPhee joined the party with his 2 up to win D Grade from Mike Kerry on -1. NTPs went to Mark Tomkinson, Spencer O’Connor and Ralph Carnovale, and Robert Perry’s eagle on the 18th also got him the ProPin. In the Ladies Par event, Marg Burchell rose to the top with her square round to be a shot ahead of Lorraine Bright and Mary Menzel. NTP’s were won by Val Tither and Robyn Whitehead, and Margie Holt won the ProPin.
