Famous chef to run kitchen at Lorne Bowls Club

CHEF COUP BY JAMES TAYLOR

AWARD-winning Geelong chef Matt Dempsey has been announced as the new operator of the Lorne Bowls Club’s restaurant, which will open next Friday. Mr Dempsey, who is the owner/ operator of the Gladioli and Tulip restaurants, said the Seastar restaurant would feature affordable meals made on site with fresh ingredients.

The club had been seeking a new operator to take over from Banks Restaurant owner Ben Cameron, who closed his kitchen at the Mountjoy Parade venue on April 30. Mr Dempsey said his vision for Seastar would be true to its location within a bowls club, with main meals costing between $15 and $25. “I want it to be community-focused, I want people from the Lorne community

and elsewhere to be comfortable about coming along; it definitely won’t become a five-star restaurant. I’d like it to be the type of place I’d want to take my kids on holidays. We want somewhere people want to come back to year after year, and say ‘I can’t wait to go to the Lorne Bowls Club and have a meal’.” The restaurant will likely go to serving meals five nights a week within about a month.

“I’ll probably be there quite a lot for the first six months to get it up and going, and we’ll see where it ends up after that,” Mr Dempsey said. “I think it’s important to people that as an owner you spend a bit of time there and get to know the community.” Lorne Bowls Club president Tony Peddie said finding a permanent operator for the kitchen was the new board’s number one priority, and he was “totally

delighted” to have secured someone of Mr Dempsey’s calibre. “He was looking to expand onto the coast and we’ve ended up together. We think it will be a very happy marriage.” He said the appointment was one of a number of exciting initiatives at the club, including free wi-fi, a permit to build a deck at the front for al fresco dining, and a push to encourage more twilight and barefoot bowling.

Torquay Lions donate automated defibrillator to community house BY JAMES TAYLOR SPRING Creek Community House has made things a little safer for its user groups with its acquisition of an automated external defibrillator (AED). The life-saving device, which cost about $2,000, was donated to the house by the Torquay Lions Club. It was presented by Torquay Lions first vice president John Bell at a volunteer training day at the Wyndham Resort Torquay on Tuesday. Geelong First Aid head instructor Colin Jones gave the volunteers a walkthrough on how to use the AED. He said people unfamiliar with the

device should not feel intimidated about using it in an emergency situation, as the AED features spoken step-by-step instructions on not only how to use the paddles to deliver an electric shock but also how to properly perform CPR. It was important to take “quick, assertive action” and provide CPR as well as using an AED, Mr Jones said, as this would dramatically improve the affected person’s chances of survival. “Basically speaking, you’re going to be able to do something that the ambulance would do when they arrive. “Every time a minute goes by after a cardiac arrest (without any action), a 10 per cent chance of survival goes with it.”

Surf Coast Community House chair Pamela Brewin welcomed the donation. “We have about a thousand people coming through the community house every week, so that’s why we need this,” she said. Mr Bell said the recent incident on Whites Beach where a man was revived using an AED brought from Peppers The Sands Torquay showed how important the devices could be. Mr Jones said a list of locations with AEDs was being compiled. Geelong First Aid’s Colin Jones shows volunteers from Spring Creek Community House how to use their debfibrillator.

Girls to get involved in youth footy BY TIFFANY PILCHER

Torquay Tigers Youth Girls AFL coach Larissa Murphy with Year 9 Surf Coast Secondary College prospective players Maddy Dalziel, Tahlia Allcorn, Caitlin Newell and Ash Frost.

TORQUAY Tigers are giving young local girls a chance to get out on the field with their new Youth Girls AFL team to play next year in the Geelong Football League. They are recruiting girls of all levels of experience aged between 13-17 years to join the team, which will be coached by two experienced players, Larissa Murphy and Meg McLean. McLean played AFL in high school and began playing women’s football in the south west league in 2007 where she captained the only Geelong

team for two years. Murphy started playing AFL at 14 in Ballarat for Damascus College, and then joined the Victorian Women’s Football League in 2006 for Melbourne University. Murphy said they are looking forward to providing a high level of skills and knowledge. “I was really missing being a part of playing footy and the Torquay Tigers are really on board with the whole idea,” she said. “Girls who are interested don’t need to have any experience or be at any certain fitness level – you don’t even need to know how to play.

“It’s a great way to become involved in a fitness community, have fun, make friends and form strong bonds. “The girls and women that play are amazing athletes, you get so much out of it.” An information session will be held at the Spring Creek Club rooms on Tuesday August 26 at 7.30pm with training for the team to begin in October 2014. All interested girls are strongly encouraged t o attend. To register for the information session or for more information, contact Jenny Hooper at Torquay Tigers by emailing info@torquayjuniorfc.com.au.

New position for environmental protection

THURSDAY PUBLICATION

A SKILLED environmental planner has joined the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) team, bringing local knowledge and plenty of passion to the protection and enhancement of the local coastline. GORCC’s new environmental projects coordinator Alex Sedger grew up in Torquay and has a background in environmental science. The role will see Ms Sedger secure funding for and manage environmental projects, support the work of environmental volunteers, and work towards GORCC’s highest priority: the protection and enhancement of natural values on the coast. GORCC chief executive officer Richard Davies said Ms Sedger was a valuable addition to the GORCC and that her extensive experience would result in positive outcomes for the coast. “Alex has held several planning and project management roles in the past which will help support GORCC’s core business of coastal, environmental works. “Ms Sedger will consider many factors associated with environmental projects, including but not limited to: community aspirations, coastal processes and competing user group demands,” he said. Ms Sedger said her role would include securing vital funding for environmental projects and the employment of skilled conservation workers. “Environmental projects and related on-ground works are fundamental to GORCC’s objectives and crucial for effective management of Crown land,” she said. Among Ms Sedger’s first set of priorities is the release of the Fairhaven-Eastern View and Queens Park draft master plans for community consultation this peak season, and a review GORCC’s Native Vegetation and Weeds Action Plan. “I am also looking to develop and implement

a monitoring framework for environmental actions identified in the GORCC Coastal Management Plan. “It’s exciting to be overseeing plans that restore, enhance and protect the coastal environment, which ultimately benefits the community who love and visit these beautiful areas,” Ms Sedger said. Ms Sedger said she had a strong connection with the local coast, and is looking forward to having a hands-on role in its protection.

“I’m excited by the opportunity to make a positive difference both environmentally and in the community. “Seeing work come to fruition on the ground is hugely rewarding and this position was an opportunity I just had to pursue.” Ms Sedger said she was looking forward to getting out and about and interacting with community members and groups. “I hope to see you out and about – please come and say hello.”

Subzero stars at St Therese BY JAMES TAYLOR PUPILS at St Therese Catholic Primary School had a visit from a Melbourne Cup winner on Friday. Grey gelding Subzero, which won the race in 1992, is travelling across the state as part of Racing Victoria’s (RV) Community Education Program. RV community education and workforce development co-ordinator Rebecca Wilde is accompanying Subzero on his travels as an RV ambassador, as well as his owner Graham Salisbury.

Ms Wilde told the pupils at the Torquay School that the horse – sired by Kala Dancer and Wiley Trade – was born in 1988 on a very cold night, hence his name. She said other than his Melbourne Cup win, people might recognise Subzero as the horse Mr Salisbury rode for 15 years while Clerk of the Course. Subzero, who mostly goes by ‘Subbie’ these days, also answered a series of yes/no questions from the pupils by nodding his head, revealing that he liked

carrots, had a girlfriend but didn’t like racing (at least not any more). For the record, Subzero had 42 starts for four wins – including the 1992 Adelaide Cup and the 1992 South Australian Derby – five second-place finishes and five third-place finishes. Ms Wilde said the horse, who stands 16 hands high and weighs about 520 kilograms, had been on stage with Hugh Jackman, been ridden by Kylie Minogue, featured in advertisements with Jennifer Hawkins and would soon appear on Better

Wall off to Maribyrnong THE Surf Coast Shire council has accepted the resignation of its chief executive officer, Stephen Wall. Mr Wall has accepted a position as chief executive officer of Maribyrnong City Council. Surf Coast mayor Rose Hodge said the shire reluctantly accepted Mr Wall’s resignation and thanked him for his work. “We congratulate Stephen on his achievement and, while we are sad to see him leave, we certainly recognise that he has a significant opportunity. “Stephen has been very much a part of the Surf Coast community. He has left Council in a strong position and we wish him all the best on the next stage of his career.” Mr Wall thanked councillors, Surf Coast Shire staff and the community for their support. “I will be leaving with mixed emotions as I have really enjoyed working with and being part of the Surf Coast community. This is, however, an outstanding career opportunity and important challenge that I can’t refuse. It

has been rewarding working for a dynamic and capable council and wonderful community, as well as working with highly professional staff.” Mr Wall will finish work at council on Friday October 17.

Homes and Gardens. She said RV’s school program fostered an appreciation for and a love of horses, while educating students on a horse’s health and wellbeing. “When we visit secondary students, we offer greater insight into the expansive thoroughbred racing industry and the many avenues for employment which might be of interest to them. For some students the visit will mark the first time they have ever pat or fed a horse, let alone a Melbourne Cup winner, and its a memorable occasion for all.”

Show you care, wear a Daffodil MORE than 2,000 generous Victorians will volunteer at 300 stalls across the state tomorrow to raise funds and awareness for Cancer Council Victoria by selling daffodils and merchandise. More than 20,000 daffodils are expected to be sold in Victoria alone this Daffodil Day, spreading hope and a splash of colour, and raising funds for Cancer Council Victoria. To mark Daffodil Day, Victorians are encouraged to show they care about beating cancer by wearing a Cancer Council pin to support the 80 Victorians diagnosed every day. Cancer Council Victoria chief executive officer Todd Harper said: “With your support, we can make a real difference this Daffodil Day and help beat cancer. “By donating to Cancer Council and wearing a daffodil pin, you’re helping

fund vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services. Together, we can reach our $1.65 million target, but we need your help!” This year’s new Daffodil Day range includes the best-selling enamel pin ($5), daffodil pens ($6), the cute and collectable ‘fitness’ Dougal Bear ($10) and bunches of fresh daffodils. You can purchase Daffodil Day goodies at your local shopping centres, train and bus stations and other locations tomorrow or you can donate at daffodilday.com.au. Members of the Cancer Council Surf Coast Volunteer Unit will be selling merchandise and fresh daffodils in Torquay outside Woolworths and IGA, 8am - 3pm, and at Anglesea shopping centre, 10am-4pm. On Saturday August 23, the unit will be in Aireys Inlet outside the general store 8.30am- mid morning.

Section of Great Ocean Road closes this weekend

BY JAMES TAYLOR

A section of the Great Ocean Road will close on Sunday and re-open on Thursday.

THIS weekend’s closure of a section of the Great Ocean Road between Wye River and Kennett River is part of the $50 million state and federal government upgrade of the road. The works, to replace an 80-year-old pipeline, will mean the section will be closed from 6pm on Sunday until 6pm on Thursday. Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson said the maintenance works to improve road safety were timed for the low season to reduce the impact on

the local economy. “A planned closure now, to get necessary work done during the low season, will avoid a longer unplanned closure in the future. During the closure, businesses will still be open for trading with all towns accessible through alternative routes, including Lorne, Wye River, Kennett River and Apollo Bay.” State Roads Minister Terry Mulder said it was important that the community was aware of the closure and could plan accordingly. For more information on the closure, head to vicroads.vic.gov.au.

Crash causes major delays to rubbish collection BY JAMES TAYLOR A TRUCK accident in South Australia has delayed rubbish collection in Geelong and the Surf Coast until as late as tomorrow. A Transpacific truck was involved in a fatal crash in Adelaide on Monday afternoon, and the Queenslandbased company voluntarily pulled its entire fleet of about 2,800 trucks off the road on Tuesday. Transpacific, through its Cleanaway arm, runs the rubbish collection service in the City of Greater Geelong and the Surf Coast Shire, so collections have

been delayed until the fleet is declared roadworthy. As the Surf Coast Times went to print, both municipalities advised residents to leave their bins out until they were emptied. The Surf Coast Shire said there would be no collections yesterday in Anglesea, Connewarre or Bellbrae. Affected areas in the City of Greater Geelong (COGG) yesterday were Ceres, Wandana Heights, Highton, Belmont, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, and Mount Duneed. COGG manager of City Services Gary Van Driel said Cleanaway were carrying out roadworthy checks

in batches of four vehicles every two hours and waste collection trucks were the first priority. “Cleanaway has committed to getting COGG waste collection trucks back in operation as soon as possible and they expect to have 50 per cent of their Geelong fleet back in operation by noon today (Thursday). If your bin is due to be collected Wednesday, Thursday or Friday you may need to leave your bin out until the weekend, subject to how quickly Cleanaway can resume its normal schedule.” Mr Van Driel said COGG residents could be assured all bins would be collected this week.

Transpacific chief executive officer Robert Boucher announced the company had taken its trucks off the road in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange yesterday morning. “We took the decision last night to ground our entire fleet in order to conduct our own internal investigation and satisfy ourselves, the police and Comcare of the roadworthiness of our fleet and the adequacy of our maintenance program. “This is not a decision we have taken lightly, however we believe it is the right thing to do given the serious nature of Monday’s accident.”

Red oak unveiled to mark centenary of Red Cross BY JAMES TAYLOR

TORQUAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Red Cross volunteers hope the tree they planted last week will grow as strongly as the organisation has over the past 100 years. The red oak (quercus ruba), seat and storyboard were installed on Friday in Taylor Park, behind the Torquay Bowls Club, as part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Red Cross Centenary celebrations. It was unveiled by long-time Torquay Red Cross member Mary Christopher, who served as chair for seven years and unit delegate for eight years. Event organiser Dorothy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell thanked the various groups who had helped with the project, including the Surf Coast Shire, the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee, the Torquay Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;who told me the seating was the hardest job theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever doneâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Torquay Bunnings and Fluid Group.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the substantial sponsorshop from RACV Torquay Resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager Dean Newell, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the very appropriate storyboard.â&#x20AC;? After the unveiling, the event moved inside the Torquay Bowls Club, where pupils from Bellbrae Primary School gave a presentation featuring some key events from the history of the Torquay Red Cross unit. Schools in Torquay have been involved with the unit since 1916, when they raised funds to buy ambulances. During World War II, local members started practical activities to support troops overseas, including knitting, making of bandages, sewing, baking, fundraising and providing items for soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parcels. The unit has also provided support after disasters such as 1983â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ash Wednesday.

String of fires sparks smoke alarm reminder BY JAMES TAYLOR THE CFA has stressed the importance of having a working smoke alarm in the wake of a string of house fires across Victoria on Tuesday last week, including near Apollo Bay. By the time crews were alerted by the residents who had just returned home at about 8.30pm, the house in Ferrier Drive, Marengo was already engulfed in flames. While the weatherboard house was completely destroyed, good work by crews from Apollo

Bay stopped the fire from spreading to neighbouring homes. Fire also destroyed homes in Carrum Downs, Meeniyan and Nullawil, and damaged houses at Hazeldene, Drouin, Bacchus Marsh, and Nhill. CFA state duty officer and operations manager Rohan Luke said the incidents were the latest in a string of serious fires, including some with fatal consequences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effects of these fires on the families involved are devastating. The loss of irreplaceable possessions and memories pales in comparison to

the tragedy of losing a loved one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time a house fire is called into Triple Zero it may already be too late for residents to escape. The best way to survive a fire in the home is to be alerted at the earliest opportunity by a working smoke alarm.â&#x20AC;? Over the past two weeks, CFA crews have been called to 84 residential fires, including a fatal incident at Noble Park on Sunday. The CFA has issued a series of tips for residents to prevent a fire in their home: â&#x20AC;˘ Heaters, chimneys, electric blankets and clothes

dryers can become a fire risk, particularly if they have been sitting unused for a period of time â&#x20AC;˘ Book a licensed gasfitter to check your gas heater â&#x20AC;˘ Check chimneys, flues and fire boxes for cracks, rust and debris â&#x20AC;˘ Check electric blankets for kinks in the wiring â&#x20AC;˘ Clean the lint filter in your dryer (and continue to do this after every use), and â&#x20AC;˘ Check appliances for visibly frayed or damaged wiring For more information on how you can prevent fires at home, visit cfa.vic.gov.au/homefire.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

cycle of life and as I reflect on my past seven days it is also great to know that in another seven days winter 2014 will be also be just a memory. Our good fortune has seen us experience Paris and London before jumping aboard with my brother and sister in law as we sail the Greek Islands and experience the life-style of the Agean Sea. The destination has been amazing and to share the environment with family even more special, where the moments on board and ashore were, although enjoyed for a short time, will stay in the minds of us all forever. To visit the remote Roman Ruins of the World Heritage island of Delos and experience the birthplace of Apollo to exclusively sharing days and nights with extended family, was equally as rich. As our days draw to a close our journey has been without incident and attention will focus back to our special place of Lorne. Our travels have again exposed us to some very special parts of the world but there is one common view shared by us all - how lucky we are to live in Australia, and even more so in the community of Lorne. The countdown is now on for the 4th annual Festival of the Performing Arts and the Lorne Business and Tourism Association and their We Love Lorne campaign is in full swing for the preparations, for what is certain to be another fantastic festival and they are all to be congratulated and commended for their tireless work. And for those wanting event information and tickets go to www. lovelornefestival.com for all you need. This weekend the Lorne Football and Netball Club will be well represented by our netballers in Qualifying Finals in Colac when our A Grade girls take on Apollo Bay and our u/15 girls take on South Colac. All the best to the girls and a special mention to our A Grade girls who are playing finals for the first time in a long, long while good luck girls! At the request of Commodore Graham Norton, members of the Lorne Aquatic and Angling Club are reminded to attend the Special General Meeting scheduled for Friday September 5 at five o’clock in their club rooms to pass a resolution to update their constitution. For those who are interested, we have had a couple of inquiries from interested local businesses to advertise in space below this column.

IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE FOR LORNE

Will we see you at the Festival? This coming weekend, if you are in Lorne, you will see a lot of activity on the lawn in front of Mantra Resort. The Circus Oz Foyer tent with capacity for 350 people will be erected over the weekend in preparation for the fourth annual Festival of Performing Arts. In the days prior to opening night, the Flying Fruit Fly Circus will be in town conducting a series of workshops with over 300 students from Apollo Bay, Lavers Hill, Torquay, Grovedale and of course, Lorne. The Flying Fruit Fly Circus is Australia’s national youth circus, based in Albury/Wodonga. The young artists are aged between 8-18 years old and combine their schooling with circus training. The program we are staging is entitled “Reaching Extraordinary Heights”. It will provide children with an opportunity to work alongside some of Australia’s leading youth circus performers and trainers from the Flying Fruit Fly Circus. Each student will participate in a two hour workshop under the guidance of the circus performers and their trainers, followed by a half hour Q&A session with the performers. The workshops will be held in the Circus Oz Big Top tent on the lawn of Mantra Resort and will introduce children to the basics and fundamentals of circus arts. The children will have the chance to experience a range of circus disciplines including juggling, hula hoops, diablo and performance skills. The Flying Fruit Fly Circus will also be performing their new dynamic outdoor circus show, “Flipping Kids”. This show features 15 young artists aged between 10-18 years old and showcases some of Australia’s future circus stars. Fast paced and energetic circus at its best, they will tumble, ﬂy and ﬂip into your heart and minds. Ordinary kids doing extraordinary things - inspiring, entertaining and delighting audiences of all ages. Flipping Kids is a free performance, sponsored by the Lorne Business and Tourism Association. Everyone is welcome. The free 20 minutes performances will take place on the Lorne Foreshore, near the Adventure Playground, at 10.30am and 1.30pm on Saturday. So to all those parents and grandparents looking for some special entertainment, this is it! This exciting event is the lead-up to this year’s Festival, providing an opportunity for our youth to be involved. The Festival will then kick off on Friday, August 29 when the opening night Gala Cabaret will take place. If you’ve

got tickets you’re among the lucky ones. If you haven’t, remember to book early next year. The program will continue over the whole of the weekend with performances in the Festival Tent and various performances and exhibitions at another 12 locations around Lorne. There will also be roving street performances taking place in Mountjoy Parade throughout the weekend. Because the Opening Night has proved so popular and has been a sellout from the ﬁrst year, this year our Artistic Director has put together an amazing line up of talent in the Festival Tent on Saturday night. To quote our Artistic Director, Monique Harvey, “This year, Saturday night will be a night to remember! We will feature - Sideshow, Latin tunes and cabaret, starting with the League of Sideshow Superstars from 6-7pm, the Festival Tent will then be graced with the legendary Finucane & Smith’s Glory Box (straight from a sell-out season at the Speigeltent). This genre-busting, globally acclaimed Salon of subversive spectacle is hailed as ‘sublime’, ‘demented’ and ‘dangerous uber-lesque.’ Finish off your Saturday night with a tropical cyclone with Mighty Duke & the Lords”. There is no reserved seating for this event. Entry is by a Festival Pass, Whole Shebang Pass or $20 for adults on the door. The whole purpose of the Festival is to attract people to Lorne outside of the peak season and to build upon the strong Arts Culture for which Lorne is now being recognised through events such as the Sculpture Biennale, Lorne Film and of course, our very own Festival of Performing Arts. It appears from the ticket sales that this strategy is working. Come along and have some fun and show your support for what has been developed and initially funded by the business community of Lorne to provide a program of entertainment not usually available outside of the capital cities. There is something in this Festival for everyone. You can collect a Festival Program at the Visitor Information Centre or by visiting our website – www.lovelornefestival.com.au Chris Tutungi Chairman Lorne Business & Tourism Association

Yes, we’re talking the famous Falls Festival “Daly” family …. parents of Simon. When Sally and John moved to Lorne in 1999 after selling their Shoreham business of 15 years, Ashcombe Maze, they were after a sea change or perhaps read, tree change. As timing would have it, a property with 150 acres of bush and 40 acres of cleared land came up for sale. Sally and John bought it. In no time John, with an extraordinary passion for trees had planted out the cleared land and with Sally, created 20 acres of spectacular garden - and built a house. With 60 inches of rain, John was able to grow an amazing variety of trees including European and rare species. He created a life size tree cathedral, with a stain glass window achieved by using deciduous trees. Simon was married there in all its splendour …. with a red carpet of course. By 2000 the Falls Festival needed more help, so Sally and daughter Naomi began working for Simon full time. They were hosting 16,000 patrons and staff, infrastructure and support crew with a payroll of 850. It was considerably more than Sally had thought would just be helping out with the books. When not loving his own trees, John tends his 100 cattle on a nearby property, loves to share his knowledge and help others with their trees, enjoys reading and relishes in his grandchildren. Sally adores her grandchildren, babysits, sews little dresses, reads, gardens and walks regularly in their perfect bush environment. She dreams of returning to Italy one day but John will have to plant the 600 trees waiting in their driveway ﬁrst. CW

Have your say on child care reform BY JAMES TAYLOR CORANGAMITE federal member Sarah Henderson has encouraged people to have their say on how child care can be made more affordable, flexible and accessible.

The Productivity Commission is holding public consultation after last month’s release of its draft report into child care and early childhood learning. The commission has made recommendations in several areas, including: • Replacing the existing childcare subsidies with a

single means-tested subsidy that would be paid directly to the parents’ choice of provider • Lowering the qualifications needed to care for children under the age of three • Nannies being eligible for childcare subsidies, subject to appropriate qualifications (au pairs would not be eligible), and • Removing restrictions on the number of child care places for occasional care and the hours that centres have to be open in order to receive government subsidies. Ms Henderson said she hoped as many families, child care operators and educators as possible would make a contribution before the consultation period closed on September 5. “This is a complex issue with no easy solutions, which is why our government tasked the Productivity Commission with the first major review of Australia’s entire child care system since the 1990s. “It was one of our first priorities when we were

elected as part of our commitment to make child care more affordable, flexible and accessible for working families.” Early childhood education union United Voice has criticised several of the recommendations, including allowing centres to average their educator to child ratio over a week instead of a minimum ratio. “Averaging ratios across a week would inevitably compromise children’s safety and development, as well as being an administrative nightmare which would create stress for staff,” United Voice acting national secretary David O’Byrne said. “This would only add to the sector’s workforce problems. If parents – especially mothers – can’t find care they can trust, then they won’t go back to work. That’s the big issue the Commission has to confront.” The federal government is expected to receive the final report by the end of October.

Owens dishes up experience

MasterChef’s latest winner Brent Owens (centre) shared some of his experiences on the Channel 10 cooking show at an exclusive champagne and canapés event at the Wyndham Resort Torquay on Sunday. Mr Owens, who appeared with his partner Madison Ancrum, said he began cooking for himself when he was 16 but came from a family with no cooking background. Although a big fan of MasterChef, Mr Owens said he had to be pushed by friends and family into entering, and applied in the last half-hour on the last day. Up for elimination 11 times, Mr Owens believed learning to deal with the stress kept him in the show and ultimately led to his win. “People say it’s just cooking, but it’s a mental game as well – you’re constantly in this situation where it’s high-stress, high-pressure, and you’re competing with everybody else so you want to do well. When you start to lose your head, it’s a domino effect.” Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

State government touts more funds for hospitals BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state government says the budget bottom lines of Victoria’s public hospitals have increased by an average of 5.1 per cent over last year. Last week, Minister for Health David Davis released details of the funding allocations for the state’s health services. He said the nearly $15 billion allocated for 201415 was $607 million more than the previous year, and $3.6 billion more since coming to office. It includes $3.4 million to Otway Health (up by $60,000 on the previous year), $3.73 million to Hesse

Rural Health Service (up by $104,000) and $3.12 to Lorne Community Hospital (up by $68,000). Mr Davis said the state government was committed to properly funding hospital services. “Since the federal budget was delivered, we have been working with the Commonwealth to determine what the final outcome will be for Victorian health services. “I have said that Victoria will be fighting for every dollar it is entitled to, and this outcome is pleasing. “Commonwealth funding allocations involve complex calculations under new arrangements. Victoria’s submission was largely accepted,

which means an increase in funding from the Commonwealth.” He said the funding growth would “significantly” offset losses due to the termination of the sub-acute National Partnership Agreement. “During this period, I have met and communicated with health service board chairs and chief executives regularly to keep them informed.” MEANWHILE, the state opposition has promised to carry out a statewide census of bed and theatre capacity if it comes to power at the November election. Surgeon and former AMA Victoria president Dr

Doug Travis will provide an interim report on the number of beds and theatres at each health service, how many are operational and how many are ‘closed’ by March 31 and a final report by June 30. “Our health system is in crisis, Denis Napthine and the Liberals are hiding the facts, and we need to get to the bottom of it,” shadow health minister Gavin Jennings said. “Labor’s expert assessment will find out how Barwon Health can treat more people and run more efficiently. “We’ll resuscitate our failing health system and get the missing beds up and running.”

Local SES units gear up through AAMI program BY JAMES TAYLOR

Torquay SES volunteers Lisa Harris, Paul Emsley and Graham Pocklington show off some of their new equipment.

STATE Emergency Service (SES) volunteers in Victoria’s south-west were among the several units to receive new equipment this week as part of the annual AAMI equipment handover program. A ceremony was held at the SES Geelong regional headquarters earlier this month to present the equipment, part of the 12-year partnership between the emergency service and the insurer. This year, about 1,400 pieces of equipment were purchased for SES units across Victoria, ranging from chainsaws, fuel safes and road rescue equipment to flashing traffic beacons. Units to receive equipment in the south-west include Bellarine, Geelong, Lorne, Otway, Port Campbell, Port Fairy, South Barwon, Warrnambool and Winchelsea. SES chief executive officer Stephen Griffin

said AAMI’s support provided valuable equipment for SES volunteers, complementing their valuable work. Victoria SES is the state’s control agency for flood, storm, earthquake and tsunami emergencies, calling on 5,000-odd volunteers to keep their communities safe in times of need. As well as emergency response, SES volunteers work to educate and prepare their neighbours for these hazards and perform accredited training yearround to keep their skills sharp. AAMI has been a community partner of SES since 2002, providing funding for Victoria’s 153 units to purchase new equipment, and has contributed more than $4.5 million to Victoria SES. As well as supporting the units by providing equipment, AAMI also support a suite of resilience programs and other promotional activity coordinated by SES.

GMHBA grants for a healthy local community BY JAMES TAYLOR GEELONG health insurer GMHBA is looking to support local projects that help people become healthier and more socially connected. The Healthy Community Grants Program offers grants of up to $10,000 for local not-for-profit organisations to implement community health projects. There is a total of $30,000 available in the first round. The grants were launched last week by Geelong Cats premiership captain Cameron Ling and GMHBA chief executive officer Mark Valena. Ling said he had been working with GMHBA over the past six months on a number of initiatives, including the Healthy Community Grants Program. “If you work for a local, not-for-profit organisation, or a group that’s creating innovative health and wellbeing programs, we want to hear from you. “GMHBA is all about being at the heart of healthy communities. “This means supporting our communities to be healthy and well. We do this by providing and

fostering opportunities to improve your health.” The program aims to seek out innovative projects in the Geelong region that help promote positive community health and wellness outcomes, such as: • Supporting healthy eating • Tackling health inequalities • Preventing skin cancer • Reducing harm from alcohol • Increasing participation in physical activity • Increasing social connection, and • Reducing tobacco use Organisations that receive funding will have 12 months to undertake their project and will be required to spend their funding by December 31, 2015.

Grants to make surfing clubs more secure BY JAMES TAYLOR

FOUR surf life saving clubs along the Surf Coast are among the community groups to receive funding through a state government crime prevention project. Polwarth MP Terry Mulder announced the latest round of Community Safety Fund grants last week, and said it would go towards crime prevention initiatives that would deliver safer, more connected communities. The details of the funding are: • $8,273 to the Fairhaven SLSC to install a security system and fencing to prevent property damage and protect life saving equipment stored at the building from burglary • $9,405 to Kennett River SLSC to install a range of security infrastructure measures including fitting anti-intrusion bars, upgrading locks and doors, replacing wire mesh and a secure storage cage for the gas bottle and other items at the clubhouse and gear shed to prevent theft and property damage • $6,000 to Wye River SLSC for the construction of a brick cabinet and an enclosed space to house a fire pump and lifesaving patrol equipment at the club to protect against damage and theft • $8,985 to Lorne SLSC to install new security roller doors and a new restricted key system at the club to deter burglary and theft and increase perceptions of safety, and • $10,000 to Surf Coast Shire to install solar lighting along the Anglesea

S RE E R ITU C A 2 URN F F O

Riverbank to enable visitors to feel safer using the precinct outside of daylight hours and discourage vandalism of the new Riverbank facilities. Mr Mulder said effective crime prevention required residents, communities, businesses and all levels of government to work together. “Everyone needs to play their part, and we can all take some simple steps to secure our own property and get involved in local community action to help drive down crime.”

BY JAMES TAYLOR SOME of the pupils at Torquay College reached for the stars last week in a special online chat with the man who will be

Denmark’s first person in space. The grade 1 and 2 pupils spoke via Skype with European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, who is training in Europe ahead of his mission

to the International Space Station (ISS) in September next year. “I’m hoping for more missions after that, but you never know,” he said. “I think (space) will be the most amazing experience I’ve had in my life. “Being weightless is the closest thing we humans can have to flying.” Mr Mogensen said he was one of only six people selected by the ESA in 2009 from a pool of 8,500 applicants. He answered a range of questions from the curious youngsters, including the perennial favourite about going to the toilet in space. “We have a special toilet (on the ISS) that apparently costs $19 million. I have no idea, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true,” he said. “It’s actually quite a serious thing if the toilet breaks down. If we can’t fix it within two days, we’ll have to leave the space station.” Mr Morgensen revealed he will have a notable passenger on his 10-day trip – British soprano singer Sarah Brightman, who has paid a reported $52 million US dollars to become the latest ‘space tourist’. He said the Soyuz rocket for the mission would launch from Kazakhstan and take about 15 minutes to cover the 400-kilometre distance to the ISS. However, re-entry is expected to be a little bumpy. “People have said it feels like a very violent rollercoaster; I’ve heard the landing process is very much like a car crash,” he said.

Major parties push similar message on trains BY JAMES TAYLOR MORE train services for Geelong commuters appears to be a bipartisan commitment heading into November’s state election, after both major political parties expressed support for the idea last week. On Thursday, Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said Geelong V/Line services would depart every 20 minutes between 9am and 3pm under a Labor government. However, Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said later in the day that the extra services were already scheduled to be delivered as part of the

April 2015 V/Line timetable. Mr Andrews said Labor would improve the offpeak service between Geelong and Melbourne. “This is one of the busiest regional rail services in Australia, but it only runs once an hour. We can do better. “Twenty-two extra services a day will make a difference for so many students and workers.” Mr Mulder said the opposition was “trying to sell a poor imitation” of what the Coalition had already planned. “Not only are the new trips already planned, they are also already budgeted for under Regional

Rail Link.” He said the Coalition would also introduce an extra weekday peak period train (from Geelong in the mornings and to Geelong in the afternoons) as well as the 20-minute train frequency. Public Transport Users Association Geelong Branch convenor Paul Westcott supported the policy, saying increased off-peak services were a very long-standing policy of his organisation. “Having more frequent off-peak train services to Melbourne makes rail much more competitive and will help get cars off the road.” He said Geelong bus services needed a big

boost if passengers were to make full use of any new services. “It is ironic that, if this comes about, many bus services in Geelong will run less frequently than trains to Melbourne. “Pressure on rail station car parks is already overwhelming, and new off-peak passengers will struggle to make full use of the increased services with many car parks full by 9am. “The best way to reduce the need to provide yet more expensive station car parking is to run local bus services more frequently and to ensure they actually connect with trains.”

Fernandez set to shred for Australia BY TIFFANY PILCHER CLIFTON Springs snowboarding star Mollie Fernandez is one step away from the 2016 Junior Youth Olympic Games after qualifying for the Junior World Championships in China next year. Mollie, 15, competed in the open age FIS Australian and New Zealand Continental Cup at Hotham last week against a quality field including Aussie boarder cross Olympian Belle Brockhoff, Aussie half pipe two-time Olympian Holly Crawford, World Cup Japanese rider Karen Iwadare as well as a host of top Australian girls many years her senior. On day one in a field of 15, Mollie placed fourth, and on day two she placed fifth. Her overall result of fourth qualified her to compete at the Junior World Championships, which is the main qualifying event for the Junior

Youth Olympic Games. It was a huge week for Mollie, who also won a banked slalom event and a boarder cross event at Hotham, as well as the three-discipline King of the Mountain event at Mount Buller for the fourth year in a row. Mollie has been a scholarship holder at the Barwon Sports Academy for two years and trains at the gym through the week, at Buller every weekend through winter and spends the summer school break on the slopes in Breckenridge, Colorado. Her mother Jodie said Mollie had always been a natural at snowboarding, and she was now setting her sights on the competition in China. “She only started snowboarding at 7, but even then she was winning competitions, she just loves it. “She trains really hard but took last summer off and now she’s refreshed and totally focused on going well at the Junior World Champs.”

New centre to help workers to reskill BY JAMES TAYLOR A ONE-stop shop to support the retraining of Geelong workers directly affected by changes to the region’s economy is now open. Minister for Higher Education and Skills Nick Wakeling opened the Geelong Region Workforce Development Centre at The Gordon last week. He said the state government remained committed to supporting Geelong as the region shifted away from traditional manufacturing and into exciting new areas of growth such as advanced manufacturing and health care. “The Geelong Region Workforce Development Centre will be one of three centres across the state that provides Victorian workers affected by the restructuring of a number of large employers with vital services and assistance to reskill. “Workers in Geelong will be given immediate access to careers information, financial advice, training and reskilling support, as well as employment workshops and referrals to other support services.” He said the centre was part of the second phase of the state government’s $11 million Skilling the Bay Initiative, and would deliver retrenched workers in Geelong a significantly better chance of having access to training and skills to secure long-term job opportunities. Skilling the Bay is being led by The Gordon in partnership with Deakin University, local industry and community organisations in Geelong. Mr Wakeling said the investment in Skilling the Bay was on top of the state government’s record $1.2 billion annual investment in vocational education and training. “As well as significantly increasing funding, under the Coalition government there are more Victorians training in areas of public value or skills shortage, now at 70 per cent compared with 49 per cent in 2010.”

A push in the right legal direction for business owners BY DEAN WEBSTER RUNNNING your own business comes with many legal obligations, so how do you make sure you're on the right track? Coulter Roache Lawyers can take you through some of the regulatory and practical considerations in setting up or running a small business at their upcoming seminar during the Geelong Small Business Festival “Legal Health Check-Up” event. Managing principal and head of the commercial department Tom White said the opportunity to be your own boss is a major attraction to many in our region. “In fact the vast majority of business owners in the City of Great Geelong are sole operators or businesses with five employees or less,” Mr White said. “The need to address numerous issues, including legal compliance, financing, marketing and developing the business, as well as the day-to-day management of a range of issues, places a huge burden on owners. Under these circumstances, it can be difficult for regulation and compliance requirements to be understood and met, in particular around structuring your business, protecting your brand, employee management and a range of other legal obligations.” As part of the Geelong Small Business Festival, Coulter Roache will take a closer look at some of the business essentials relating to: 1. Business structuring and personal asset protection: choosing the right structure Choosing the correct structure for your business is essential to as it determines your ability to protect assets, know your taxation obligations and undertake succession planning. 2. Commercial leasing: a tenant’s rights and entitlements We will help you gain an understanding of the Retail Leases Act and what your rights and

obligations are under a lease. 3. Employees: effective management of employees Including changes in the law, what are the key things you need to know? Whether you already run a business or are establishing one, this event will provide you with up to date legal information and assist you to make informed decisions.

Tickets are $25 and the event takes place from 5.30pm-7.30pm on Wednesday August 27 at Geelong City Hall.

Summit starts the fight against ice BY JAMES TAYLOR COMMUNITY, business and government leaders convened in Geelong for a two-day summit last week on how to fight back against the Geelong regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice problem. The newly-formed Greater Geelong Collective Community Effort on Substance Abuse (GGCCESA) has listed sport, youth and workplaces as the three groups most in need of education about the risks and consequences of the drug methamphetamine. GGCCESA involves the five councils of the G21 region, seven government bodies and more than 30 local businesses and organisations. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit, held at Kitchener House in Geelong, gathered ideas on community-based solutions to prevent ice use. These will be developed over the next two months, with a day of action to be held on November 14. GGCCESA chair Superindentent Daryl Clifton of Victoria Police said the initiative began six months ago and was now taking a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;collective impactâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing the community together to make a real difference in education and prevention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blowing us out of the water is the amount of people and the stories they have to tell you about their friends, family and relatives that are supporting people with a problem who are living normal lives.â&#x20AC;? Leisure Networks chief executive officer Libby Mears said sporting clubs were a great place to affect change as they were an important part of the community. Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive

officer Bernadette Uzelac said ice was having an impact in the workplace even if its affects were not immediately apparent, so it was important to help employers not only recognise the signs but how to help their staff. Geelong businessman Paul Kelly said he was unaware until only recently that one of his close friends had been on ice for five years, and raising awareness was crucial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you educate people about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the drug, what it does to you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenfold worse than any other drug weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. If we learn about the drug, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll devalue itself and no-one will want it anymore.â&#x20AC;? For more information, head to icefight.com.au.

Clean Energy Council says axing RET would kill off renewables BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Clean Energy Council says scrapping the Renewable Energy Target (RET) would devastate Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wind and solar industries. The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review into the RET is expected to be completed soon, but one media outlet reported on Monday that Prime Minister Tony Abbott has asked review chair Dick Warburton to do more work on abolishing the RET instead of scaling it back. Clean Energy Council acting chief executive Kane Thornton said the report had sent shockwaves through the renewable energy industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Such a move would be reckless, given the

governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own analysis shows slashing the RET would save no money on power bills, yet would devastate billions of dollars of investments made in good faith in renewable energy projects across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would also be out of touch with the vast majority of Australians, who want more renewable energy as demonstrated by the fact that 99 per cent of the 24,000 submissions to the review of the policy called for it to be maintained or increased â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the fact that over four million Australians already live or work under a solar power system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hundreds of Australian and international investors have built their businesses based on the strong bipartisanship of this policy which has

existed in legislation since 2001. Tearing up this bipartisanship, and the policy itself, would show that the Australian energy sector is clearly not open for business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it would stop industry dead and smash investments that have already been made.â&#x20AC;? The RET aims to have 20 per cent of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity generated from renewable sources by 2020. Responding to the report, Finance Minister Matthias Cormann said the federal government remained committed to the RET. Last month, Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson publically declared her support for a RET but did not nominate a specific target, only saying it should be set at an â&#x20AC;&#x153;operativeâ&#x20AC;? level.

Highway works to preserve Winchelsea’s landscape BY JAMES TAYLOR

A newly-planted Callery Pear, which is one of the species being used to improve the visual look of the duplicated Princes Highway.

VICROADS has produced landscape plans with input from Surf Coast Shire to create attractive landscapes around the duplicated Princes Highway. The beautification work focuses on the entrances to Winchelsea and paths around the highway to create an inviting environment where people will want to enjoy the outdoors. VicRoads project director Tony Hedley said landscape architects were engaged to select particular species to complement the heritage values and country feel of the rural township. “The landscape plans have been displayed during information sessions held in the town and the feedback has always been very positive. “While removal of some Sugar Gums and Elms was necessary to allow the duplication to proceed, the use of the Callery Pear and Red Oak will ensure the historic ‘avenue’ feel created by the Elms is maintained. “In addition to native River Red Gum and Swamp Gum around the Barwon River adding to the natural beauty of that environment, to provide an ideal transition from the farming paddocks to the west, that entrance to Winchelsea will include Silver Wattle, River Red Gum, Black She-oak, Light Wood and Black Wood.” He said many native shrubs and tussocks would also be planted. Winchelsea Ward councillor Heather Wellington said the landscape plan would contribute to the town’s look and feel. “The highway duplication has provided an opportunity to look at what can be done to beautify the entrances to Winchelsea and reduce maintenance costs. This plan has taken into account planning work that has been done in the past, while also contributing

to the Growing Winchelsea project that is now under way.” Fellow Winchelsea councillor Rod Nockles said it was important that the duplicated highway fit with the fabric of the town. Construction in Winchelsea between Lennox

Street and Austin Street is expected to be complete by the end of the year. The duplication to Deans Marsh Road, which includes the new crossing of the Barwon River and new traffic lights at Hesse Street and Deans Marsh Road, is scheduled for completion in 2016.

Sticking to the message

As part of Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Torquay Jan Juc’s ongoing combined project to reduce the high rate of thefts from cars in the area, NHW volunteers have started placing the pictured decals on selected bins in streets where theft has occurred during the past eight months. Here, NHW volunteers James Hurley and Michael Lambkin attach the decal to a bin.

A silly idea

$ODUP 6\VWHPV &DPHUDV 6HFXULW\ *XDUGV 0RELOH 3DWUROV

Dear Editor, One of the silliest ideas I have heard is that the RACV is going to tunnel under the Torquay Golf Club fairways to provide access to the beach for guests staying at the RACV Resort. The tunnel will go under the 11th fairway and join the existing beach path inside the fence adjoining Hoylake Avenue. The craziest thing about this idea is that there is already a perfectly good internal access road from the resort’s front door to the existing path. Why would you spend thousands of dollars building a tunnel? Just as crazy is the fact that the tunnel, which will have to be hundreds of yards in length, will need to be lighted and will need security particularly over the summer months from squatters and malcontents. What woman on her own would use the tunnel? What most guests will do will be to use the access road already there and the tunnel will be an outrageous white elephant. What a waste of money!

revenue, and in cases like this one (Alcoa) the majority of profits go offshore. More importantly, the economic costs of pollution from coal mining, the impacts on health, water and climate are economic costs that are able to be externalised by the company and are borne by the community.” Surf Coast Air Action (SCAA), a local group of concerned families, is actively imagining an Anglesea where more jobs are created in clean and green projects based on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria’s number one rural tourism destination. Jobs in industries which are based around eco-tourism and outdoor education, around school camps and holiday constructions, and on renewable energy, employ many more people than a coal mine. SCAA recognises that our relationship with Alcoa has come to a close as the multi-national leaves Victoria. Consequently, SCAA believes that Anglesea’s image as a pristine coastal town is our key asset which should not be tarnished by an overseas buyer not constrained by how much the mine can be expanded.

Coast Shire, Golden Plains Shire, the City of Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe and Colac Otway Shire. Between 2009-10 and 2013-14, Surf Coast Shire Council was allocated $3.2 million of Roads to Recovery funding. Roads to Recovery funding is so important for the Surf Coast. I welcome the Victorian Farmers Federation’s call for an end to the “petty politics” which is preventing the legislation from being passed. Labor and the Greens must do the right thing and back the legislation when Parliament resumes. We know how important this funding is for councils, which is why we added $350 million to the Roads to Recovery Program so we could double the payment to each and every council across Australia for the 2015-16 financial year. Our communities cannot afford to lose this vital investment. Local mayors and councillors have told me how much they value this direct funding from the federal government. I urge local councils to petition Labor and the Greens to allow this funding to be passed. Sarah Henderson Member for Corangamite

Roads to Recovery funding vital

Pseudologia fantastica

Dear Editor,

Local councils are missing out on important roads funding because of political games being played by Labor and the Greens. Labor and the Greens are working together to block the Land Transport Amendment Bill from being passed in the Senate. As a result, no funding for the $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery program can be paid to councils. The previous Roads to Recovery program expired on 30 June, 2014. This is a multi-million-dollar blow across the Surf

Health Minister David Davis continues to espouse lies to the public regarding the ambulance dispute. I am unable to work out whether he is deliberately misleading the public or suffers from pseudologia fantastica. Either way, Mr Davis repeatedly refuses to uphold the Victorian public sector values and has proven himself unworthy of public office.

Dear Editor, More than 600 people rallied on Sunday, August 10 in Anglesea calling on the state government to shut down the coal mine and power plant. Some 7,000 people have also signed a petition urging the state government to shut it down. Eighty-two per cent of Anglesea is calling for the mine to be shut down. Noted scientist Rob Gell speaking at the rally said: “Less than five per cent of jobs are in mining, all the mining taxes and royalty revenues in the country generate less than five per cent of government

No preferred option in Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven supply upgrade

What does Anglesea have to offer?

Dear Editor,

In reply to Nick Day (“Concerns for Anglesea”, Letters, August 14), I’m interested to know what Anglesea has to offer as one of the “greatest tourist drawcards in this state and country”? It can’t be the Great Ocean Road war memorial, as that starts further down the road than Anglesea; not the 12 Apostles as that’s at Port Campbell; so without going on about it, what is so special about Anglesea that makes it so great in Victoria, let alone the whole country? All I see is a little seaside town that you pass through to get to better places, such as the two I’ve mentioned above. And as for Mr Mulder’s lack of correspondence? Only he can explain why he hasn’t found the time to reply to you.

By the time this letter goes to print, Barwon Water’s board is expected to have made a decision on the Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven upgrade option. However, at the time of writing, contrary to Vincent Mahon’s statement in last week’s Letters (“Aireys feels it in its waters”), Barwon Water’s board did not have a preferred option. Throughout the consultation process, Barwon Water has simply presented the facts for both the water treatment plant and the pipeline options. These facts are: • Painkalac Reservoir will remain under both options • the greater Geelong water supply system can easily meet current and future needs of the Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven communities. This system has a number of diverse water sources, providing the flexibility to supply water to customers during extreme drought events • Painkalac Reservoir is not drought-proof; it relies on rainfall events to fill • the cost of constructing a new treatment plant would be $9.3 million, $2.7 million more than the pipeline option. • the pipeline would cost three times less to operate than the water treatment plant • energy consumption by the pipeline would be six times less than the water treatment plant • the Aireys Inlet/Fairhaven water supply system is not financially self-sufficient. It is crosssubsidised through the wider Barwon Water customer base. Without this cross subsidy, Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven customer bills would almost double. Barwon Water will provide an update on the board’s decision following its meeting. Joe Adamski Barwon Water managing director

Australian Red Cross celebrates 100 years Dear Editor, This month, Australian Red Cross celebrates 100 years. It’s an honour to reflect on our remarkable history, to celebrate our achievements and thank generations of Australians for their support. This includes the one million Red Cross members, volunteers, donors, staff, blood donors and supporters who make such a positive, lasting difference to the lives of people in need every day – thank you! The Centenary of Red Cross is a great Australian story about the extraordinary generosity and compassion of people helping people. These are the stories of people like Florence Flower who during World War I reportedly wore

Bold and the Beautiful star gets on her bike ONE of the most noted stars of US daytime television has signed up to a fundraising cycling event in Lorne later this year. Katherine Kelly Lang, who has played Brooke Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful since the series began in 1987, will join 5,000 other cyclists in Amy’s Gran Fondo.

Riders in Amy’s Gran Fondo can keep an eye out for American actress Katherine Kelly Lang.

Lang will ride the 110-kilometre Gran Fondo event, and said she was looking forward to her trip down under. “I love Australia, the people, the culture the way of life in Australia. I’m a very outdoors person so Australia is a perfect place for me to visit. “I love cycling and triathlons! This year I was invited to some of the most prestigious bike races, Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. “My boyfriend and I always travel with our bikes. Wherever we go we have our bikes and look for new places to ride. “I’m so excited to ride in Amy’s Gran Fondo. We’re looking forward to riding on the Great Ocean Road and taking in the amazing views.” In its fourth year, Amy’s Gran Fondo is held in memory of Australian cycling team member Amy Gillett, who lost her life on a training ride in Germany in 2005 when hit by a car. The September 14 event will raise funds for the Amy Gillett Foundation to continue its mission of safe cycling in Australia. Amy Gillett Foundation head of partnerships and fundraising David Lee said Lang’s participation in the event would be a thrill, particularly for those who are devotees of The Bold and the Beautiful. “We are thrilled that Katherine is joining us in Lorne. She is a big supporter of charity cycling events around the world and it’s an honour for the Amy Gillett Foundation that she has chosen to support our event while she is in Australia. “We are already excited that we have passed last year’s entry numbers and are edging towards a soldout event for the first time in the event’s history.” As well as the main event, cyclists can also tackle the 40-kilometre Medio Fondo or the 14-kilometre Piccolo Fondo. For more information, head to amysgranfondo.org.au.

David Upham has his bike ready to go for the Ride For Sick Kids.

Lorne Hotel manager saddles up for charity ride BY JAMES TAYLOR THE 500-kilometre Ride For Sick Kids will have at least one person who knows the terrain when it rolls into Lorne on Monday. Lorne Hotel manager David Upham will saddle up for the third year in a row, and the hotel is also sponsoring a fundraising event for the ride, which aims to raise $500,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RHMC). The seven-day ride begins in Launceston on Saturday, with more than 40 riders cycling to the airport to catch a flight to Melbourne. It then passes through Geelong, Lorne, Colac, Ballarat and Williamstown before finishing at Ronald McDonald House Parkville on August 29. Mr Upham, who is taking part alongside his father, John, has been cycling “for 30-odd years”

but said the ride would be a challenge. “Obviously, managing a hotel doesn’t give you a lot of time to do the big K rides. It’s going to be a lot of work, but it’s a great cause.” He said each rider had pledged to raise at least $5,000 and the plan was to break the $500,000 target. “Hopefully, the community in each town we visit gets behind us.” All funds raised will support Victorian Ronald McDonald Houses, particularly those in Monash and Parkville. Those two houses provide a home away from home for families from around Victoria when they need to travel to Melbourne with a seriously ill child undergoing treatment.

Bellbrae firefighter fires up for silver axe BY JAMES TAYLOR BELLBRAE’S Matthew Garnsworthy has trained with distinction on his way to becoming one of the newest aviation rescue firefighters (ARFF) at Melbourne Airport. Mr Garnsworthy was presented with the Silver Axe Award for the most outstanding recruit of the course at the Airservices Learning Academy that graduated on August 8. He was among a group of recruits who have just completed 11 weeks of intensive training, allowing them to join more than 800 highly-trained and professional aviation rescue fire fighters around the country. The recruits have been trained in fighting aircraft and structural fires, aviation rescue techniques and dealing with the hazards of highly flammable aviation fuels. A key component of the training sees the recruits extinguish simulated aircraft fires at the state-of-the-art Airservices fire training ground.

Airservices Learning Academy general manager Linda Spurr congratulated the graduates on successfully completing the demanding training course. “Over the last 11 weeks our graduates have completed more than 400 hours of theoretical and practical learning,” she said. “Today’s graduation marks a significant milestone in their careers – enabling the safe travel of millions of passengers each year.” As well as Melbourne, Airservices ARFF executive general manager Michelle Bennetts said the new recruits would work at stations in Adelaide, Alice Springs, Cairns, Canberra, Gladstone, Gold Coast, Hobart, Launceston, and Sydney. “Airservices has one of the largest, most highly trained, professional aviation rescue fire fighting services in the world. “Our aviation fire fighters have the expertise to provide Australian airports and airline passengers with first-rate rescue and fire fighting services.”

Don’t push your x-ing luck with trains LAST week was Rail Safety Week, and Victorians have been urged not to push their X-ing luck. Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder, who launched the week, said it was important for country Victorians to “think before you cross” to prevent the unnecessary pain for victims, their families and train drivers when an accident occurs. V/Line and Victoria Police joined to send a message about obeying rules at level crossings across the Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Seymour and Gippsland regions. “In 2013-14, a total of 43 level crossing near-hits occurred in country Victoria that could have been

avoided if drivers and pedestrians had thought before they crossed railway lines,” Mr Mulder said. “Spare a thought for V/Line train crew, who along with victims, can endure ongoing pain including psychological trauma inflicted by incidents at level crossings.” He said the ‘Don’t push your X-ing luck’ campaign contained a sobering message to country Victorians who believed that level crossing collisions could not happen to them. “Since 2005 at country Victoria’s level crossings, there have been 40 collisions between trains and pedestrians or trains and vehicles; resulting in 25

deaths and 95 serious injuries. There have also been 528 near-hits during this nine year period. “About 40 per cent of these occur at crossings with warning bells and flashing lights or boom barriers.” V/Line chief executive officer Theo Taifalos said counselling was always offered to V/Line staff involved in, or witness to, an incident. “The effect of one incident, even a near miss, can be severe and enduring. “Train drivers can see a pedestrian or vehicle from about 400 metres away, but it takes almost one kilometre for some passenger trains to stop once the driver applies the brakes.”

The campaign has four major tips: • Using mobile phones, listening to music and other distractions may stop you seeing or hearing safety warnings • Only cross railway lines at marked crossings and respect all warning signs • Always look both ways before crossing – trains can come from both directions, and • Never cross when a train approaches, even if you assume it is stopping at a station. This is especially important when it comes to V/Line trains, as some services are expresses. Never try to beat an approaching train.

Droves of stoves confusing you?

Here’s how to pick the right one!

We are born with very few things we depend on for life. Sunlight, air, water and food are all necessities – with food generating the most focus. At home, we strive and possibly achieve the best solutions that tailor our needs to make preparing meals easier. When we’re away, things can get challenging when it comes to cooking and we usually follow a formula like (length of time away) x (ease of living) = (likelihood of repeating). There is nothing like hunting out a few sticks to boil a billy, cook the meal or keep warm when camping, but with camp grounds often cleared of timber, total fire ban days or just lack of time, this may not be an option. This is where stoves come in and we’d like to talk about what makes a winner when cooking outdoors. Given the breadth of what is available, We’ll hone our discussion to the mainstream options and the three types of fuel they use – gas, petrol and wood. There is a measure of heat to look out for when investigating stoves, being BTU (British Thermal Units). It is used by most companies to indicate the amount of heat to expect when the stove is at its highest setting. As an example, a 6000BTU stove is going to take a long time to boil a large pot of water, when compared to the flamethrowers that can put out 25000BTU. Yes we have kerosene, metho, etc, but we’re keeping it simple here.

The ‘Flame Thrower’ by Companion

Gas

If you are already committed to lugging bottles of gas for fridges and/or lighting, then adding another appliance to cook may be the answer. These stoves can be the cheapest to buy and also provide the some of the ‘hottest’ (highest BTU) options. Alternately, if you don’t need gas for anything else, then perhaps try to avoid it altogether by looking at petrol and using 12V for everything else. I must confess that we still use gas for our fridge/ freezers, as nothing (in our opinion) beats it for long-term camping, especially when it is all built in to the trailer with proper venting. With gas comes regulators and with regulators comes either high or low pressure options. Put simply, low pressure equates to lower risk of a big fire should something go awry. The good news is that all the top stoves are low pressure. These are the ones that will meet criteria discussed here in.

this generally doesn’t apply as we may not often experience these conditions to make it an issue. So why use petrol? In a word: simplicity. It burns hot at around 17000BTU, enough to make

Design

Having three burners isn’t much use if you can’t use all of them as the physical size of the stove is too small. For example, the outside two burners can be too close to the sides, prohibiting the centre of the pot or pan being over the burner due to the wind shield being up, or using the centre burner because the stove is overrun with two pans. My advice is to go for a wide stove; the $20 extra you’ll spend will be well worth it over the 20 years you’ll use it. Does the stove have a drip tray covering the works under the burners? It adds another $20 to the price but will make cleaning a breeze. Does it have Piezo ignition? It’s another $20 on the price but it means you can do away with matches and lighters, (that can disappear at inconvenient times or run out).

The Soto Compact Stove

There is nothing like hunting out a few sticks, to boil a billy, cook the meal or keep warm when camping, but with camp grounds often cleared of timber, total fire ban days or just lack of time, this may not be an option. the bars on the stove glow red, and fuel is readily available and cheap. The duel fuel stove packs away into a neat box and you only require a 500ml refill every few days. Our Coleman has been going for 25 years and has worked hard, with another 25 still up its sleeve. Every 15 years or so, a couple of new parts will be required costing around $40 as things do wear, but on the whole they are great. If you are thinking of buying one, make sure you buy from a person that can take you through the art of how to make these stoves ‘sing’. They are not a turn knob, push button stove, but when mastered are brilliant. If you have one and need some guidance on understanding the do’s and don’ts of these stoves, then we are here to assist you.

Petrol

On very cold mornings or at altitude, gas can be problematic as it is pressurised within the bottle. Using it in these conditions can affect both performance and what is available out of the bottle. For the average camper here in Australia,

a pile of sticks, until Kelly’s Kettle appeared. As far as a solution for boiling water and cooking a simple meal goes, it works a treat and is worth a look. There are other stoves that use wood, but simple is best.

Kelly’s Kettle The Companion 2 Wok Burner Stove

Compact Stoves

These are worth a mention, as sometimes setting up the stove for a quick break is not really optimal. There are stoves that fold up to the size of a couple of matchboxes, yet have Piezo ignition and an 11000BTU performance. Not bad for a Mino that can hide in the glove box. (as per Soto stove) Jet Boil also produce a range of stoves that utilise a smartly designed ‘pot’ that absorbs heat efficiently and can have a cup/250ml to the boil in 75 seconds, quicker than you can be ready with tea, coffee, milk and bickies. Most Jet Boil containers are 800ml 1000ml.

My advice is to go for a wide stove; the $20 extra you’ll spend will be well worth it over the 20 years you’ll use it. Cost

A basic two-burner stove starts at $45. The difference between this and the ‘Mercedes’ version - which will pump out four times the heat, have Piezo ignition, be wide and easy to clean - is $80. Another $100 gets you to the Rolls-Royce equivalent in a petrol stove. In my opinion, it’s worth every penny. The next time you are looking for a stove to fit your needs, come in and have a chat about the options. Happy camping... Geoff.

RURAL ROUND-UP

Research to help farmers get more nitrogen from iNputs BY DEAN WEBSTER DEPARTMENT of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) researcher Katherine Dunsford is hoping to shed new light on the vexing question of just how much nitrogen is supplied to plants through the soil mineralisation process. With fertiliser making up about 15 per cent of a cropper’s variable costs, knowledge of what nitrogen (N) gets into the plant and where it comes from (fertiliser or soil) is vital. Ms Dunsford will research this question as part of doctorate studies she has just commenced through Latrobe University while based at DEPI Horsham. “Current cropping systems require large inputs of N fertiliser but the actual uptake and efficiency of this N is often low,” she said. “If the plant gets too much nitrogen you run the risk of crops haying off, but if you get too little it could result in low protein and yield potential. “Drawing on data from a range

of existing projects I hope to try to get a better understanding of these processes and also provide some guidance to grain producers.” Data is being gleaned from projects including the long-term SCRIME (Sustainable Crop Rotations in Mediterranean Environments) project that began in 1998 at Longerenong, nitrous oxide experiments, and the Yield Gap Project, which involves 36 commercial properties across Western Victoria. “Through some of these projects, we have observed a lack of N responses that may be attributed to phosphorus requirements and subsoil constraints,” Ms Dunsford said. “We also believe some of the answers may be found in the N mineralisation process.” Ms Dunsford, who grew up on a mixed farm in South Australia, has long heard the challenges of N inputs not always matching responses. “Fertiliser is a big part of production costs and this research will hopefully be of interest to a lot of farmers,” she said.

“A better understanding of the in-crop mineralisation could help farmers reduce their N fertiliser applications while maintaining their target grain yield and protein levels.”

Young calves being hand-reared in a clean and dry environment.

Calf health essential to herd health BY DEAN WEBSTER

DEPI researcher Katherine Dunsford crunches the numbers on nitrogen.

CALVES are the future of your herd so keeping them in good health is essential, says Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) district veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave. “Overall, calf scours is the most significant health risk in dairy calves as there is usually no single cause of calf scours, but a combination of effects associated with the calf’s management, diet, environment, and exposure to different germs. “The germs involved include certain types of bacteria, viruses and protozoa. While the germ’s actions vary, their effects are consistent – a loss of fluid and electrolytes associated with diarrhoea leading to dehydration,

weakness, and in some cases the death of the calf.” To successfully treat a scouring calf, supportive therapy is needed to counteract the effects of diarrhoea. The most important aspect of supportive therapy is to give adequate fluids and electrolytes to replace what is lost in the diarrhoea. The use of antibiotics may be appropriate but only under veterinary advice. A key to the success of treatment is to start it promptly at the first indication of the illness. The affected calf should also be isolated to prevent the infection spreading. It should be noted that the pen in which the calf was housed would now be contaminated and any calves that were housed

with the infected calf may have contracted the infection. Therefore the pen should be spelled and the mixing of other calves with the calves that are potentially infected should be avoided. Prevention is better than cure, and the most effective protection against the germs that cause calf scours comes in the first milk, which is known as colostrum. This helps give the newborn calf immunity against the various diseases that are present in the environment. It needs to be given in the first six hours of life when the calf is still able to absorb the protective antibodies that are present and colostrum from any dam is suitable. For more advice, contact your local vet or DEPI veterinary or animal health officer.

RURAL ROUND-UP

Geelong livestock market report BY DEAN WEBSTER MONDAY’S yarding of 360 cattle at Geelong saw values for bullocks 3 to 4 cents per kilogram cheaper with the top price realising $1,075.62 or 197 cents per kilogram for bullocks sold on account of G. Turner of Freshwater Creek. Cows were 3 to 5 cents per kilogram dearer with some heavy cows selling to $1,210.75. Bellbrae farmers and neighbours Keith Grossman and Mathew Moore achieved $1,102.20 and $1,169.00 respectively for some heavy cows in great nick weighing 660 and 700 kilograms. But they were pipped at the post by another nearby Bellbrae farmer, Ray Perry, whose big black cow weighing in at 725 kilograms achieved 166 cents per kilogram, resulting in a return of $1,203.50. Prices are set to improve, with reports that after good soaking rains throughout northern Australia recently and reduced overall cattle numbers that the cattle job is set to go for a run. It’s about time, considering producers have been seeing prices for young cattle around the same as 10 years ago.

selling to 192.0 cents per kilogram Heifer veal (grain) selling to 195.0 cents per kilogram The yarding of 854 sheep and lambs saw values for old lambs firm, two tooth firm to $5 dearer and sheep remained firm. Best prime lambs sold to $110 for a draft

Kids and greens, they can be friends Bec Winkler is a qualified naturopath with 10 years experience. She works at the Chiropractic Centre, Jan Juc. HOW do I get my kids to eat veggies? As a naturopath who specialises in kids and a mother of two young boys, this is a very common question I get asked professionally, as well as a personal battle. There are a few factors to take into account and as many different approaches as there are green veggies. Depending on how young your child was when veggies were introduced, how “fussy” the child is

generally, how organised or rushed dinner time is and the age of your kids all affect ones veggie-loving capacity. Personally, eating together as a family or at least one parent eating with the kids makes a huge difference. Seeing parents and siblings all eating and enjoying their greens really helps. Focus on positive reinforcement, instead of yelling at them to eat their dinner from the kitchen while doing 10 other things. Here are a few other pointers: - Preparation. I talk to my three-year-old all day about what’s for dinner. Therefore he is prepared and it’s not coming out of left field. For example, I say: “Tonight, we are going to have yummy mini trees (broccoli) with our pie/casserole etc”. Repetition is key. - Give them a small amount (one bean, five peas

and one broccoli floret). Small amounts are manageable; a huge plate is overwhelming. Be realistic. Add homemade sauces, soy/ginger/garlic, tomatobased pasta sauces. Always serve them with something you know they will eat, like their favourite meat or pasta. Start talking to your kids about food, the names of food and why we eat them from the moment they start solids. Keep re-offering. It takes lots of goes at a new food to finally be accepted into a toddler’s list of acceptable culinary preferences! Some may disagree but the promise of a healthy treat after dinner works wonders. Something like homemade icy poles, or frozen fruit. As messy as it may be, get the kids up at the bench

and part of the dinner prep and cooking. Give them a small manageable job and make a big fuss about how much they are helping. - Grow your own. Let them be involved in the planting, watering process. This makes a huge difference. My son won’t eat tomatoes off his plate but will happily pick and eat 10 of them from our tomato plant straight from the garden. - Relate to them on their level. “Tonight we are having superhero sausages and mash potato to give us big strong bodies to play blocks!” - Persistence and patience (bucket loads of it) pays off. Meanwhile, if you are concerned that your child is lacking in vitamins, has poor immune function or is really tired, I can prescribe child friendly supplements to fill the gap until they turn into veggie lovers.

Another diabetes myth busted WITH CREDENTIALLED DIABETES EDUCATOR RINSKY LAWRIE

MYTH: People with diabetes only have to see their health team when there is something wrong. TRUTH: Visiting your diabetes health team every three to six months helps identify any changes in health, and supports effective coping and self-management. If changes are found, strategies for adapting can be developed and started right away. Early intervention is vital for treating diabetes and promoting health. Diabetes is a progressive condition; treatment and optimal self-

management focusses on slowing, even stopping it in its tracks. It is also important that people living with diabetes keep up to date with the latest developments in management and care. These include: • blood glucose meters have improved • new medicines are available • new applications on mobile phones available can assist health changes made • more support and education services are available in your community • with a Chronic Disease Management Plan (from your GP), you can get access to affordable allied health services from

your condition is progressing. If ignored, hyperglycaemia can result in serious illness, and the development of diabetes-related complications. There are several ways to combat hyperglycaemia, which include medication, dietary changes and frequent physical activities. My Type 2 diabetes workshops incorporate yoga/meditation into a supportive educational framework. This aims to help reduce stress, improve learning, and help with muscle strengthening.

Anxious Bird helps men and women fight mental illness BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE Anxious Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jules Haddock is hosting more local workshops to equip people with the skills they need to help themselves and their loved ones when dealing with mental illness. In her next workshop on August 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Big Wings, Little Wings: Women dealing with anxiety â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ms Haddock will show women how to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and provide strategies for how to best support one another. Ms Haddock, who is a mental health first aid instructor, REACH facilitator and has suffered from

post-traumatic stress disorder, said one in four people would be affected by anxiety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This workshop allows women to meet in a safe environment and learn that they are not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education fights stigma. People need to understand that mental illness can affect anyone at any stage of life, and the earlier we learn to sight it and act on it, the better the long-term life prognosis.â&#x20AC;? Ms Haddock is also holding a workshop for men to explain the signs and symptoms of mental illness, including suicide ideations and intervention, as men are at a significantly higher risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important focus of the evening will be the

sharing of two experiences by men, who will talk openly and honestly about their experiences with mental illness and recovery methods.â&#x20AC;? The Anxious Bird workshop for women will be on August 28 from 6.30-8.30pm at Spring Creek Community House, tickets are $20. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop is set for RUOK day on September 11 from 6.30-8.30pm at the Spring Creek Community House. To book a place in either workshop, email theanxiousbird@gmail.com or phone 0439 610 395. If you or your loved ones require support, reach out and phone Lifeline Geelong on 13 11 14.

A personal account of recovery from anxiety. According to the 2007 Australian National Mental Health Survey, anxiety disorders are the leading mental illness by percentage in Australia. Overall, one in four people will experience anxiety in their life time.

MEMBERS of Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Painting with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group are encouraging the local community to take A Walk in the Park this month to raise funds and awareness for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoria. Thousands of Victorians are already signed up to take part in the sixth annual, non-competitive 4-kilometre or 2-kilometre walk from Federation Square along the picturesque Yarra River on August 31. The course is mobility-friendly, and the family pooch is welcome to participate too. The day will also include free entertainment, live music, fun kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities and a sausage sizzle. Painting with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Torquay member Mike Atkinson said the event was an important fundraiser that improved the quality of life for people living with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

He encouraged all locals to get involved if they could. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a big contingency from the local area and Geelong that takes part each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really worthwhile event and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d encourage anyone who is available on the day to get down there and enjoy the walk.â&#x20AC;? More than 27,000 Victorians (and about 80,000 Australians) are living with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a degenerative condition that affects movement. There is no known cure. A number of A Walk in the Park satellite events will be held by Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Support Groups in other Victorian regional areas including Mansfield, Mildura, Mt Martha, Shepparton and Warrnambool. The event will kick off with entertainment from 9am until 1.30pm on August 31 and the walk will begin at Federation Square at 11am. To register, head to parkinsonswalk.com.au.

TAC Double Bus campaign sets sights on drug drivers MOTORISTS who get behind the wheel with illicit drugs in their system, including ice, are the target of a TAC campaign that began last week. The ‘Double Bus’ campaign, originally developed when booze buses became drug buses in 2006, addresses the growing issue of drug driving, with a particular focus on methamphetamine use and detection. Double Bus highlights that booze buses also test for drugs, including stimulants such as methamphetamines (ice and speed), and is a reminder to road users that if they drive on drugs they will be caught. In the last five years, about 37 per cent of all drivers and motorcyclists who died on Victorian roads had drugs in their system, with cannabis and stimulants the most common substances detected. TAC chief executive officer Janet Dore said that last year, Victoria experienced its worst year for deaths involving drivers and riders with stimulants in their system. “Nearly one in six (14.9 per cent) drivers and riders killed had a stimulant, such as ice or other

amphetamines, in their system. That is very concerning because we know that as well as tunnel vision, dizziness and loss of concentration while driving under the influence of illicit drugs, there is often a false sense of alertness which can lead to over confidence and the inability to make quick and good decisions. “The effects of ice can impair a person's ability to drive safely not only while under the effect of the substance, but also when they're coming down in the days after taking it, which can last up to six days. “Police tell us that many drivers are unaware that police are able to test for methamphetamines, including ice. “The Double Bus campaign aims to challenge and change perceptions of the effect illicit drugs have on the ability to drive, and creates awareness that if you drive on drugs, including ice, you will be caught.” Victoria Police have the right to pull drivers over at any time and test their saliva for traces of illicit drugs including THC, the active component in cannabis, as well as methamphetamines (including ice and speed) and ecstasy.

Drop in number of fatalities on local roads 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.

SOUTH Barwon MP Andrew Katos has welcomed a substantial decrease in road fatalities in Geelong and the Surf Coast over the past two years. The Transport Accident Commission’s (TAC) latest Road Safety Statistical Summary shows three people lost their lives on Geelong roads in the 12 months to June 30, 79 per cent down on the previous financial year when 14 people died. The figure was down 67 per cent on the 2011/12 financial year. Four people died on Surf Coast roads last financial year. This is the same as the previous year but 60 per cent down on 2011/12. While Mr Katos welcomed the reduction, he said

Toll 10x8

the community should never accept any deaths on the region’s roads. “It is positive to see reductions in fatalities on the region’s roads but until we reach a situation where no families are left to deal with the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one, there is little to celebrate. “We need every driver in Geelong and the Surf Coast to make a commitment to themselves and the people they care about to do everything they can to be safe when they get in their cars.” Mr Katos said the downward trend of road trauma in recent years was the result of improvements to the state’s roads, improved driver behaviour and developments in vehicle safety technology. “Victoria has come a long way towards creating

a better overall system of safer roads, safer cars, safer drivers and safer speeds and that work is continuing as we move towards our goal of a 30 per cent decrease in deaths and serious injuries by 2022.” In addition to its road safety campaigns, the TAC has provided significant funding to enable Geelong police to conduct targeted operations focusing on addressing specific road user behaviours in highrisk areas and at high-risk times. “For those drivers who are yet to grasp the fact that speed kills, that drink and drug driving kills, that distractions kill, the message is you will get caught. The alternative could be much worse.”

Up the Tempo at Armstrong BY DEAN WEBSTER

VILLAWOOD Properties’ Armstrong community has evolved to offer more choice by launching a new precinct north of Boundary Road called Tempo. Located in the best position for access to the Surf Coast Highway, only one set of traffic lights separate Tempo from the ring road to Melbourne, and residents will be able to walk or bike to the future Waurn Ponds railway station in less than 10 minutes. Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe said that the precinct location would make life incredibly easy, particularly for those who regularly commute to Melbourne. “Tempo will suit those who like to lead an active life with unbeatable access to the great outdoors, recreational sporting facilities and future schools, in addition to the ring road and train station. “Tempo is also just minutes to the region’s best beaches, wineries and cafes via the Surf Coast

Highway, plus residents can enjoy the premium waterfront dining precinct at Armstrong.” Lots in the Tempo precinct will be sold without access to the residents-only Club Armstrong, giving future buyers the opportunity to live at the popular community without being part of the owner’s corporation. Mr Costelloe said that Tempo would be sold alongside other precincts, giving all buyers the chance to live in the upgrade suburb of Armstrong at Mount Duneed. “Whether you’re a beach person or a pool person, Armstrong is the place for you. “Here, you can choose from all the great amenities we have on offer to live the best lifestyle for you and your family. “With over 320 lots already sold to-date, 63 per cent of those purchasers are second and third home buyers, and 91 per cent of those purchasers are owner-occupiers – that’s a lot of people! “This new precinct will not only offer greater

choice, it will also ensure quality for our residents.” Stage 13A at Tempo was released to the public last weekend with land from $149,900. Villawood Properties Platinum Club members

will receive a bonus $1,000 off their dream lot. For more information, phone the Armstrong sales centre on 1300 710 726 or head to armstrongmtduneed.com.au.

Simple tips to make the most of your tax return BY DEAN WEBSTER THE end of the financial year means tax return time and in the next few months thousands of Australians are expected to receive a tax refund. Whether it’s a large or small amount, Peter Wu, Principal at RAMS Home Loan Centre Geelong advises to plan now so you can make the most of additional funds. “It is important to treat your tax refund in a similar way to a regular pay cheque. Give the money a purpose and make it work for you by thinking about your personal situation and prioritising your needs.

“It is a good idea to make a list of your financial goals as this will make it easier to decide what to do with your money.” A recent Tax Time Sentiment Survey commissioned by website RateCity.com.au found that 40 per cent of Australians expecting a tax return plan to use it to pay down debt, while 23 per cent have earmarked their tax refund for savings, and 37 per cent were unsure what they would do with it. Peter suggests considering these options to get more bang for your buck: 1. Boost your savings – With most Australian’s worried they will not have enough money in the case of an emergency (as revealed in a recent

Put the money towards other savings you may have, look at getting on the investment property ladder or perhaps add to your existing investment portfolio. “As an advocate for helping Australians get the most from their money, it is encouraging to see that most tax payers are planning to use their refund wisely,” Mr Wu said.

RACV report urges $640 million in local road and rail spending BY JAMES TAYLOR

A NEW report released by the RACV has called for $4.6 billion to be spent in regional Victoria over the next decade to address critical road and public transport deficiencies. Announced last week, the Regional Growing Pains report identifies more than $640 million of projects in the Geelong region alone. These include: • Duplicating Barwon Heads Road from Corio– Waurn Ponds Road to Lower Duneed Road ($240 million) • Constructing the Drysdale Bypass between

Drysdale–Ocean Grove Road to Geelong– Portarlington Road ($100 million) • Constructing capacity and safety improvements along Anglesea Road ($37 million), and • Upgrading facilities at Marshall railway station, including additional car parks ($25 million). It calls for planning for an east–west connector between Surf Coast Highway and GeelongPortarlington Road, reserving land for a public transport corridor between the Armstrong Creek urban growth area and Torquay, and implementing the five new bus routes proposed for Armstrong Creek as development occurs. The report also notes the $350 million full

duplication of the Princes Highway between Geelong and Colac as a key regional transport project. RACV general manager of public policy Brian Negus called on the state government and the opposition to adopt the recommendations in Regional Growing Pains as a matter of urgency. “Victoria’s regional population is forecast to expand by almost 430,000 by 2031 so to cope with population and jobs growth over the coming decades, regional cities need to be prepared. “To ensure this growth is managed in a sustainable manner, RACV proposes that an accelerated and long overdue ongoing program of investment is required in regional Victoria.

“Regional Victorians are telling us they want a high quality rural road network and public transport services that are reliable, frequent and efficient.” Regional Cities of Victoria chair Cr Michael Neoh said the advocacy body strongly supported the report’s recommendations. “The need for significant infrastructure spending to achieve minimum safety standards on regional roads is absolutely vital. More than 25 per cent of Victorians live in regional areas and country communities. Ensuring that transport links between the regions and to Melbourne are safe and accessible is critical.” Head to racvgrowingpains.com.au.

Colac Otway goes streets ahead with its lights COLAC Otway Shire will be the first rural municipality in regional Victoria to fully replace its residential streetlights with light emitting diode (LED) lamps. The replacement of the council’s 1,240 residential mercury vapour streetlights with new energyefficient LEDs began in late July and will be finished by the end of next month. The LEDs will cut energy usage by 77 per cent compared to the existing 80-watt mercury vapour lamps and will considerably reduce running costs. Colac Otway Shire is one of six councils sharing federal government funding of $1.4 million to upgrade

a combined 7,500 lights as part of the Great South Coast Street Smart Lighting Project. The project is the largest local government sustainability project to be delivered in the region. “The project is significant because it marks the first time councils across the south west region have come together to work on such a large-scale infrastructure upgrade project, demonstrating what can be done with a truly collaborative approach,” Colac Otway environment co-ordinator Travis Riches said. “From an environmental and a financial perspective the upgrade makes sense. Street lighting makes

up 30 percent of council’s total greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated the project will result in an approximate reduction of 11,300 tonnes of CO2 emissions over 20 years: the equivalent of removing 120 cars off the road annually.” Apart from offering lower costs and reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions, the LED lighting will provide a greater uniformity of light along a street, better colour rendering and visibility, and less light depreciation over time. Mr Riches said the shire’s $400,000 contribution to the project would be recouped in five to six years through the much cheaper running costs of LED streetlights.

Lone rider on the trail to Aireys Inlet BY TIFFANY PILCHER EXTREME explorer, writer, and nomad Tim Cope will take audiences through his thrilling three-year horseback journey from Mongolia to Hungary at the opening of the travel-themed Aireys Inlet leg of the Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF) on Friday. Cope, 36, grew up hiking, bushwalking and swimming in Gippsland before adventures further afield began calling his name. At 20, he spent 14 months cycling 10,000 kilometres from Moscow to Beijing with his friend Chris Hatherly, and released his first book, Off the Rails, upon his return. Soon afterwards, he began plotting his next adventure, which would result in his second book, On the Trail of Genghis Khan, released in August last year. Inspired by a desire to understand the nomadic

way of life, Cope embarks on another remarkable 10,000-kilometre horseback trek, this time alone, across the Eurasian steppe from Mongolia, through Kazakhstan, Russia, and the Ukraine, to Hungary retracing the trail of emperor Genghis Khan. Accompanied by his Kazakh dog, Tigon, Cope learnt to fend off wolves and would-be horse thieves, and grapple with the extremes of the steppe as he crossed sub-zero plateaus, the scorching deserts of Kazakhstan and the high-mountain passes of the Carpathians. Along the way, Cope was taken in by people who taught him their traditional ways and recounted their recent history, including Stalin’s push for industrialisation, which brought calamity to the steppe and in Kazakhstan alone led to the starvation of more than a million nomads. When the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times spoke with Cope, he had just returned from leading a

three week trek through Mongolia. “I’m in a bit of a grey area now, working out what I should do next,” he said. “The Genghis Khan trip was the kind of experience that has laid out the blueprint for the rest of my life. It was my version of a PhD and now my identity is so attached to that experience. “I will keep using my experiences to write. I have been an aspiring writer since I was 14 and it’s just in me to follow my passions wholeheartedly.” Cope will join legendary Tracks author Robyn Davidson for the opening event, and said he is aiming to inspire the audience to find a way to follow their dreams. “I hope people come away with broadened horizons of what’s possible and also about what’s something of a black hole in our geographical history. “The stories are important. I was at the mercy of the people I came across. You can’t just find a hotel

to stay at on a mountain in the middle of nowhere and it’s a life at the whim of the elements, but because of them (the people), I was okay.” Tim Cope and Robyn Davidson will be appearing with a very special surprise guest at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall on Friday to open the coastal celebrations with dinner and a discussion. Tickets are $60 and include dinner, BYO drinks. There will also be three workshops at the Fairhaven Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday. These workshops will feature travel writers Susan Gough Henly, Julietta Jameson, Ailsa Piper, Laura Jean McKay and Andrew Nette. Tickets are from $12-$20. No prior writing experience is required to take part in the workshops. For tickets, times and to download the full Melbourne Writers Festival program, head to mwf.com.au.

Ground-breaking project stitches up the competition BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE National Wool Museum has received a prestigious Victorian museum award from Museums Australia for an original exhibition which evokes memories for people with dementia. The Geelong museum was presented with the award for Medium Museums for its Reminiscence Cottage project at a ceremony in Melbourne on August 7. The exhibition, developed in collaboration with Volunteering Geelong and Alzheimer’s Australia, was envisioned as an immersive space which feels safe and familiar for visitors with dementia and prompts reminiscence through sight, sound, touch and smell. The cottage was designed to replicate a 1930s-1950s Australian household and visitors are supported by volunteers to engage with furnishings, clothing, and other representations of domestic activity, and are encouraged to recount their memories. The awards judges said the project

a very powerful work that benefited members of the community by recreating the familiar and bringing joy to visitors. Sara Gillies, education and public programs officer and the driving force behind Reminiscence Cottage, said the National Wool Museum’s staff were honoured to be recognised for their innovative work. “The aim as that this experience will stimulate engagement with those around them, it will provide the stimulus to talk and share stories about a time in their life when they were most vibrant (working, emigrating, raising families, growing up). “Watching different groups engage with the space has been beautiful and great fun, whether it is singing along to “The Road to Gundagai”, the smell of ink from an old primary school ink bottle or the memories of childhood scrapes with a medicine bottle, it is a wonderful shared experience.” Reminiscence Cottage is open daily at the National Wool Museum until February 2. Tickets start from $4.25 and are available at the venue.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

JON HELMER

Get in the ‘La Zona’ LAST week I spoke about how winter’s a great time to take in the natural beauty that is the bare bones of a vineyard freshly pruned, bunkered down for the winter spell in readiness for the coming spring. Up in the King Valley, the temperature is super chill, and quite often there’s snow adorning the vines just to complete the picture. Chrismont Wines, a James Halliday five-star rated winery run by Arnie and Jo Pizzini, is located in the King Valley where they first planted vines back in 1980, having crossed over from growing tobacco with their vineyard holdings now totalling over 250 acres. They produce a number of quality wines in their portfolio, but it’s their ‘La Zona’ range that showcases Mediterranean grape varieties that really defines the region and its potential. The King Valley’s Italian heritage is well documented and definitely well celebrated, highlighting the cultural links via Italy’s indigenous grape varieties and food of course. Here’s a selection to whet your appetite.

and this wine showcases the style well with classic ripe pear and melon aromatics, with that quenching acidity keeping it all succulent on the dry, savoury finish.

Chrismont ‘La Zona’ King Valley Arneis 2012 ($20) The Arneis grape’s spiritual home is in the Piedmont region of northern Italy where its name literally means ‘Little Rascal’, as it is quite difficult to grow. In Australia, we are starting to see some good examples being produced in the King Valley region. The ‘La Zona’ is a good example considering its price point – rich and textural with telltale ripe pear, almond and peach aromatics and flavours alongside the distinct crispness to the finish.

Chrismont ‘La Zona’ King Valley Sangiovese 2012 ($20)

Prosecco is a dry or extra dry sparkling white wine made from ‘Glera’ (Prosecco) grapes. The popularity of this style has really taken off in the last few years, and as it doesn’t ferment in bottle, it is best consumed young and fresh when it’s at its most vibrant as it is meant to be light, fresh and uncomplicated. This non-vintage style is a deliciously simple and refreshing sparkler showing typical fragrance, and flavours of pear and apple, citrus notes and feels all fizzy and frothy on the finish. Perfect!

Sangiovese derives its name from the Latin sanguis jovis “the blood of jove” – the Roman Jupiter. The grape is known for its high acid and high tannin content, lightmedium colour and fragrant aromatics and flavours of dark cherry, violets, and strawberry alongside savoury/ herbal/earth ‘tar & roses’ and spice notes. The growing season is long as it is slow to ripen, allowing the grapes to develop richness and body and as with most classic varieties, it benefits from low yields. The long ripening season in the King Valley is perfect foil for this variety to accentuate the richness of the cherry and the perfumed florals of the aromatics so characteristic of the variety. Hence, this wine shows an earthy, savoury Sangiovese with bright, vibrant cherry fruit notes, mellow tannins, spice and balanced acidity.

Chrismont ‘La Zona’ King Valley Pinot Grigio 2013 ($20)

Chrismont ‘La Zona’ King Valley Barbera 2012 ($20)

Pinot Grigio (aka Pinot Gris) is a white grape variety that is slightly grey in colour (hence the name ‘gris’). The Italian Pinot Grigio style is a lean, light bodied wine that is light in colour with a dry savouriness, a thread of mineral character and an edge of acidity finishing fresh and crisp. Up in the King Valley, the variety performs extremely well

Barbera is a native of the Piedmonte region in north west Italy and much loved for its deep colour, soft tannins and high acid content making for wines showing fresh, bright intense dark plum/berry flavours, dark chocolate/leather and fragrant blackberry/spice aromatics. This is a good representation of the style.

Chrismont ‘La Zona’ King Valley Prosecco ($20)

Leeds indie favourites alt-J is leading the way on this year’s Falls Music and Arts Festival line-up.

Otway berries in a jam ONE of the great things about serving Devonshire Tea at the Harvest is that it has given us another avenue to create new and interesting flavour combinations for our homemade jam. We serve at least a couple of these flavours alongside the scones, as well as selling jars on our produce table in among all the other local goodies. Experimenting with all the different flavours, textures and consistencies of jam has made us take a closer look at some of the wonderful berry varieties we have on offer from berry farmers scattered throughout the Otways. Blueberry thyme has been one of my favourites with the thyme adding an aromatic elegance to the flavour. As berry season is coming upon us, below is a recipe we use for jam, keeping in mind we try to keep our recipes simple and we don’t use any thickening agents. A couple of easy ways to get a great consistency with your jam is through wither reduction on the stove top, or we like to use our berries slightly under ripe when their pectin levels have not decreased. In our opinion, nothing beats fresh home made jam with warm scones from the oven!

METHOD In a saucepan, combine blueberries, thyme leaves, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Mash with a wooden spoon until all the juices are mixed together. Cook over medium-high heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture has thickened transfer to jars and store for up to one month.

Students taking part in a hospitality training program will host their next event on September 6.

Blues Brothers on a mission to entertain at cocktail party BY REBECCA LAUNER

BLUES Brothers fans will be in for a treat next month when Bellarine Estate hosts a cocktail party with live music, dancing, American-style food and even rally cars. Students taking part in Faith, a hospitality training program run in partnership between the Salvation Army, Bellarine Estate and Bellarine Secondary College, will be making and serving all the food, with all proceeds from the event going to Cystic Fibrosis. Events co-ordinator Katie Hoare said the Blues Brothers night followed on from another successful Faith event which was Christmas in July. The Faith program encourages, inspires and instils confidence in the students and gives them the opportunity to learn valuable skills and gain work

experience. Each term, up to 12 students in years 9 and 10 are released from school for half a day each week and are trained in all aspects of running a restaurant, which includes food preparation, cooking, designing menus, serving tables, barista training, as well as cleaning, washing up, polishing cutlery and glasses, folding napkins, and laying tables. During the term the students design and run two dinners which are open to the general public. They do all the promotion, planning, cooking and serving for the functions, and feel a great sense of achievement in accomplishing it and using all the new skills they have learnt. The Blues Brothers dinner is at Bellarine Estate, 2,270 Portarlington Road, on September 6 at 6.30pm. Tickets are $40 per person, which includes food, and bookings are essential on 5259 3310.

Local bands rock the potato shed SIX local bands recently rocked the Potato Shed in Crash Course Productions’ latest event, LeftOvers. Geelong councillor Jan Farrell said the event showcased some great local musical talent. “Six local up-and-coming bands performed live and put on a great show for all the young people who attended,” Cr Farrell said. Local bands that performed at LeftOvers included The Tiny Giants, The Ampersands, Subject 84, Daemora, North to the South and Wild Eyed Like Fireflies. Cr Farrell congratulated CCP on another successful event at the Potato Shed. “Once again CCP have done a marvelous job,” Cr Farrell said. “They continue to produce responsible and well-run events for young people in our region.” Cr Farrell also thanked the Potato Shed for hosting the event. “The Potato Shed continues to be a very popular venue for young people to go and listen to live music and attend a range of events.” CCP are a group of dedicated young people who meet weekly and organise concerts for youth on the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong.

Queens of the Outback to shimmy into Sphinx Hotel BY TIFFANY PILCHER BREAK out your feather boa, because Queens of the Outback is returning to the region with a performance in Geelong on Friday night. The all-singing, all-dancing interactive drag show spectacular is the brainchild of producer, creator, choreographer and performer Simon Vowles, who drew on his own experiences to pull together a show that focuses only on fun. With lashings of glitz and glamour and a soundtrack of everyone’s favourite pop hits, Vowles and the talented cast take audiences on a live musical journey to Australia’s Red Centre. “There is such a fun element in this show and we’ve catered to everybody, straight people, gay people, everything in between people,” Vowles said. “The characters are ridiculous and all the performers put themselves into the roles, its

non-stop singing and dancing, by the end of the night we’re all just friends having a laugh.” The storyline is simple, three drag queens pack up and head across the outback to perform at one of their daughter’s 16th birthday parties. That’s not the half of it though, there are some hilarious experiences along the way including a temporary imprisonment, breakdowns, a little love story and many a minibar to be emptied. As for the music, there is something for everyone. The soundtrack is diverse, with a mash-up of songs from Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Tina Turner and even, since it’s an Australian musical, a little bit of Cold Chisel. Queens of the Outback will be on at the Sphinx Hotel, Geelong, on Friday August 22. Dinner and show tickets are $60, show only tickets are $28, to book, phone 5278 2911.

Legends and trailblazers top Meredith announcement BY TIFFANY PILCHER

Sample happy hip-hoppers De La Soul will grace the Supernatural Amphitheatre at this year’s Meredith Music Festival.

MEREDITH Music Festival has released their almost complete line-up for the 2014 event, and it’s every bit as eclectic, inspired, and slightly left of centre as fans have come to expect. Reading like the complete history of contemporary music, the announcement includes some legendary artists such as hip-hop pioneers De La Soul, Wu Tang Klan’s Ghostface Killah, Jamacian inventors of ska The Skatalites, and solo artist, founder of Screaming Trees and sometimes member of Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan.

They’re joined by the highly-requested Ty Segall, James Holden live with his band, Cleveland’s Cloud Nothings, and the stunning Phosphorescent. Rounding out the announcement is a mishmash of artists covering a spectrum of genres from innovative electro to floor-stomping country and flamboyant comedy-rock: The Bombay Royale, Factory Floor, Tiny Ruins, Blank Realm, Mia Dyson, The Public Opinion Afro Choir, Misty Nights, Teeth and Tongue, Painters and Dockers, Vakula, Marlon Williams, Dr Phil Smith, and Hard Ons.These bands,

along with a few more which are still under wraps, will join the already-announced War on Drugs for the 2014 festival.

Meredith Music Festival will be held from December 12-14, round two of the ticket ballot is open now, to enter, visit mmf.com.au.

Us exhibition shows off House work AN EXHIBITION at Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House Gallery, ‘Us’, comprises student interpretations of four artists’ work studied during Ryan Brearley’s art class. Each student responded to an aspect observed and discussed in the artwork that interested them. The four artists the group looked at were George Browning, Charles Blackman, Tim Jones, Noel Rollinson and local Mahgo Smith-Armstrong. Their final artworks were developed in class, as well as in the artists’ own time using a range of mediums including ink, pencil and watercolour. Each student’s interpretation is quite different – some are obvious, others rely on the explanations provided. All are wonderful pieces of art from a very talented group of people. They’re on display at House Gallery, 3 Tobin

Drive, Queenscliff for the rest of August, the gallery is open Monday to Friday 9.30am-4pm.

Author continues journey at Women’s Winter Warmer BY TIFFANY PILCHER MULTI-TALENTED Jan Juc author Kath Essing is hosting a Women’s Winter Warmer artist talk to celebrate local ladies and the launch of her new book at Surfcoast Wholefoods next week. Ms Essing is a trainer, keynote speaker, business coach and founder of Surf Coast Small Business Women. She launched her book, Journey to Self, which is full of stories, inspired tactics and practical techniques for women, last month.

Specialising in guiding women to create clarity in their lives and enable success in their professional lives, Ms Essing wrote Journey to Self to empower women to find their purpose and deepen the connection to themselves and those around them. “I have been inundated with questions about the book so I thought a Women’s Winter Warmer night would be a great opportunity to share some of the answers to a broader but intimate audience. “It will be a wonderful evening to gather women in one room and create a discussion around women’s own journey’s to themselves and how we can support,

connect with, and champion one another.” The evening will include warming chai, raw desserts, a circle of inspired individuals, and is an open invitation to hear Ms Essing speak about her own ‘Journey to Self’. The Women’s Winter Warmer event will be

held at Surfcoast Wholefoods at 7pm on Thursday August 28. Entry is free and bookings can be made by searching for ‘Kath Essing’ at eventbrite.com.au. Journey To Self is available to purchase at integratedheart.com.au/journey-to-self-the-book.

IT’S almost the end of August already! Time flies when you’re having fun. So like you, I must be having loads of fun? Well, matter of fact, I do – most of the time, especially when I can enjoy the fruits of winter, the citrus family, to add some zing to grey days. Look at those sunny orbs in all shades of yellow, orange and in the case of the tangelos – almost a deep burnt orange. Aah! Such beauty in such simplicity. The tangelo is a sort of half ‘n half fruit, being a cross between a tangerine and a pomelo – it has bright orangey-red colour and distinctive nipple-shaped stem – the pomelo gives the sweetness to the tartness of the tangerine. Pomelos are a citrus native to South East Asia. But let’s get out of the garden and into the kitchen! The tangelo (or orange) cake is delicious with coffee – but equally suited to be dessert. Eaten raw, the tangelo is truly delicious, with a distinctive bitter-sweet, citrussy ‘tang’. They’re also easy to peel due to their mandarin origins. I gratefully accepted a glut of tangelos from a work colleague, whose tangelo tree in East Geelong yielded such bounty he could not possibly use all the fruit. I had made cakes from tangelos many, many times, but had not simply eaten the fruit as a ‘fruit’ – and boy, did I enjoy it’s refreshing, clean flavour at lunchtime! So with thanks to Allan Campion and Michelle Curtis who published the Seasonal Produce Diary for many years, I will share with you their delicious

recipe for tangelo cake. The method and recipe are very reminiscent of the classic flourless orange cake recipe which Elizabeth David gave us. Now there was a food writer who conveyed - without glossy photos – marvelous recipes and inspirational books for chefs, cooks and anyone interested in food. What a legacy she gave us! It’s a curious thing, and I’ve not been able to satisfactorily find out who thought of boiling oranges and then make a cake from the puree? Suffice to say I’m glad someone did! I’ve consulted with Elizabeth David, Claudia Roden and Anna Conte – but none has revealed from whence this idea originated. One interesting snippet gleaned from one of Maeve’s ‘safari’ guests, Batia Slater, was that the recipe is a classic dessert enjoyed during Passover, and brings together the cuisine of the Sephardic (ie Spanish - from the Iberian Peninsula) Jewish traditions. This connection possibly came about due to this area being a plentiful citrus growing area. My musings bring me to a thrifty cook who, not wanting to waste a glut of oranges, cooked them and from there a new recipe developed… I’ve learnt that this cake freezes very well, it is moist, light and good enough to serve as a desert with some yoghurt and the whole lot dusted with icing sugar. The colours of summer on a plate in winter – we’re more than half way there!

THE HALF ‘N HALF FRUIT ADDS ZING Tangelo Cake INGREDIENTS 2 tangelos 5 eggs 200gm (1 cup) caster sugar 250gms (1 1/2 cups) ground almond meal 1 teaspoon baking powder

METHOD Place the tangelos in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Drain, puree and strain the tangelos to a smooth paste – removing the pips. (Mind you I have never removed the pips - they ‘disappear’ to the nether regions, I guess.) In a bowl, mixer, or with a wand, beat 5 eggs together with the castor sugar until light, pale and fluffy – about 5 minutes. Combine this mixture with the ground almonds and baking powder. Add the tangelo paste – mix to incorporate and pour into a greased 23cm round cake tin. (Line tin with baking paper). Bake at 180C until light brown and firm in the centre, approximately one hour. Allow cake to cool in the tin approx. 5 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack.

AUGUST 21 – 28 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014

You’re incredibly busy but don’t neglect the personal touch Capricorn. If you are too business-like with loved ones, then you may find yourself left out of the loop or excluded from a social occasion. And is there a personal problem you’re stressing about? Rather than obsessing endlessly, talk things through with a trusted friend or colleague. You may be worrying unnecessarily.

Expect to feel a bit sluggish early in the week, as Saturn slows down your manic Mars energy. The new moon activates your wellbeing zone so pay close attention to your health and fitness via a revised diet or updated exercise program. If you establish some order and routine in your daily life, then you’ll have the time and energy to make the most of your numerous talents.

You’ll feel mighty moody this week, as the stars stir up buried emotions and your Crab defenses go up. Don’t take things too personally. What others say isn’t necessarily what they mean, so think things through before you jump in and over-react. Prosperity planet Jupiter blesses financial matters – as long as you don’t put your head in the sand and spend more than you earn.

Are you expecting money to land in your account? Some Librans will experience delays, as Saturn slows down financial transactions. Others will find themselves with unforeseen extra expenses. Attached lovers… your partner could surprise you with an unexpected gift or intriguing proposal. Singles… don’t look for love in the same old places. Aim to be much more adventurous.

Home is where the heart is this week, as you nurture loved ones and get stuck into all sorts of overdue domestic chores. Plus find creative ways to make your home more happy and harmonious. With the new moon energising your entertainment/hobby zone, you need to do more of what you love. Get physical, creative, musical, sporty – whatever you prefer – it’s time to get to it!

Has your enthusiasm for a domestic project taken a nosedive? Saturn reminds you to shoulder your share of the work. Contributing your talents brings much satisfaction. But you’re susceptible to false flattery on Saturday so don’t be sweet-talked into doing something you really don’t want to do especially involving money. Take off your rose-colored glasses and face facts!

Early in the week feels like one step forwards and two steps back as Saturn dampens enthusiasm, delays projects and stymies progress. But with a slow and steady Scorpio approach you’ll get there. Expect some confusing conversations on Saturday, whereas Sunday is super for diving into a mystery novel, attending local community functions or planting projects in the garden.

The new moon always indicates a shift of gear in an important area of life. This week the heavens signal a fresh start for adventurous Aquarians involving an intimate relationship or money matters. If you are attached, your partner may surprise you with an unusual request. Are you sick and tired of being single? Venus trines Uranus, which is fabulous for falling in love very fast!

A spontaneous conversation and unexpected news leads to an action-packed week. You’re keen to communicate with a wide range of people at work and within your local community. Expect your home life to be a bustling hive of activity with people coming and going, and emotions running high. You’re bursting to speak your mind on Saturday, but is that such a sensible idea?

The week starts well as motivation levels are high, and you power through projects with extra Virgo vim and vigor. But – as you work your way towards the weekend – things slow down and you switch into procrastination mode. Time to heed the wise words of birthday great, Mother Teresa “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

Are you bored at work or looking for employment? Fresh professional pastures are calling Sagittarius! With Mercury moving through your career zone until September 2 strive to communicate your credentials and numerous talents to a wide audience, both in person and online. Foreign friendships are also favoured, as you reconnect with an old friend from faraway shores.

Your greatest asset at the moment is good health, so do all you can to maintain or improve your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. As birthday great Ingrid Bergman declared “Happiness is good health and a bad memory.” On Saturday, strive to be honest and to the point Pisces. Otherwise you’ll just confuse others with rambling rants and mixed messages.

Buying a laptop: part 2 TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS

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

LAST week, we looked at some of the things to consider when buying a laptop. Below are a few more. Battery life: Some cheaper laptops will only run for one to two hours, however, some of the more expensive ultrabook-style laptops claim a battery life of up to 10 hours. The option you should go for depends on your usage and budget. CPU (main processor): I would always recommend an Intel processor over other, cheaper brands. The speed of the processor needed is based on the type of computing you will be doing. If you just want to browse the web and do very basic things on a budget then the Celeron CPU is the choice. If you need more speed for gaming, video editing or CAD (computer aided design) work then the Core i3, i5 or i7 are the better options. The price vs. performance point at the moment is the i5 CPU. Games-graphic cards – Contrary to most sales

talk, an integrated graphics card is all you need for home use and most browser-based games. If you are considering playing advanced games or doing CAD work then you need a better, dedicated graphics card. Unlike a desktop, this cannot be upgraded later, so best to make the correct choice when purchasing. I would always recommend buying a cheaper laptop and putting the savings towards a games console to keep them off your laptop. Future proofing: Buy the cheapest laptop that suits your needs. If you spend a fortune on the latest and greatest it will make hardly any difference on longevity. What’s top of the class today is obsolete in terms of performance in a year or two so why waste money. Don’t buy the cheapest but don’t overspend either. An often forgotten factor is software. A lot of laptops come with Office 2013 preinstalled but this is a trial version. Upgrading this can be a significant cost and there are free alternatives, you just have to ask your friendly local computer guy what they are.

WITH PADDY SLACK Qualifying Final Torquay (2nd) vs. Ocean Grove (3rd) @ Portarlington Recreation Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm The Tigers’ 10-game winning streak came to an end last week following a 20-point loss to fourth-placed Queenscliff. Torquay’s final score was its lowest since round 16 last year. The Tigers will welcome back former Essendon and Richmond defender Ty Zantuck this weekend. The return of Aaron Nesbitt, Pierson Bennett and Brandon Ross may cause some selection headaches for coach Craig McCaughan. Ocean Grove got the better of Torquay by 27 points in round 4 this year, however, the Tigers enjoyed a thrilling two-point victory when they met again in round 12. Ocean Grove dual-premiership Geelong player Max Rooke has no trouble finding the goals against the Tigers. He kicked four in the first meeting plus three in the second and is yet to have a goalless game this season. Ocean Grove was too strong for Torquay in last year’s elimination final, triumphing by three points. The Grubbers have made it through to the second week of finals for the past three consecutive years, however, coach Shane Jack will look to take it a step further in his last finals campaign

as coach before standing down at the end of the year. Players to watch Torquay’s Luke Vogels: the former Sydney Swan made his senior debut for the club last week and kicked the Tigers first major of the match. If Torquay’s forward delivery improves this weekend, expect him to cause headaches for Ocean Grove backmen. Ocean Grove’s Travis Gavin: last week the small forward bagged five goals in his first game back from a broken collarbone that he suffered in round 11. He averages over 4 goals a game and is yet to have a goalless match this year. Prediction: Torquay by 8 points.

Elimination Final Queenscliff (4th) vs. Barwon Heads (5th) @ Portarlington Recreation Reserve, Sunday 2.10pm Barwon Heads will enter its first finals series since 2006, while Queenscliff are chasing their fourth consecutive premiership. Barwon Heads trailed at all three breaks but came out with a 10 point victory over Queenscliff in round 5, although the Coutas ran out 14-point winners in round 12 and will go into the game as slight favourites this week. However, Barwon Heads proved they can beat the best in the competition following their effort to hand

Geelong Amateur its first loss of the season by 45 points in round 16. Chris Goullet has been named in Queenscliff’s best three players on nine occasions this season and is set to make his return this weekend, meaning dual premiership coach Tom Limb will have a tough job selecting this week. Both coaches have signed on in season 2015, but it’s safe to say Peter O’Connor’s men will have to take their game to new level to topple the Coutas. Both sides have won their past four games which sets up for an battle that will see the winner take on the loser of the Torquay-Ocean Grove clash, while it’ll be season-over for the loser. Players’ to watch Queenscliff’s Stephen Owen: the former Geelonglisted player comes off a best-on-ground performance against Torquay. The key-defender was named centre half-back in the BFL Team of the Year in 2013. His impact will be crucial for the Coutas. Barwon Heads’ Daniel Hovey: the spearhead has kicked 67 goals this season which brings his tally to 258 goals in his 70 games for the Seagulls. The Bellarine representative will need to shine if Barwon Heads are to cause an upset. Prediction: Queenscliff by 11 points.

THE Anglesea Bowling Club has made significant progress in their endeavours to replace the existing out-dated clubrooms built back in the 1960s. With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by several community partners, the vision is to perhaps name the facility the Anglesea Sports and Community Hub which better reflects the envisaged usage. While the bowling club has secured $500,000 (from its own funds and the Surf Coast Shire), unfortunately there is a short fall. The club is hopeful that both the community and the state government will invest in this local infrastructure project which will not only benefit our members but also the community partners, residents and millions of visitors to our coastal township and the Great Ocean Road.

Winter bowls program The Anglesea Bowling Club members invite visiting bowlers to join with them during the off season/winter period (weather permitting). Scheduled mixed social matches will be held each Monday commencing at 12.30pm Tuesday commencing at 10.30am (BYO lunch) Saturday commencing at 12.30pm Dress code is neat casual. Contact the club – either in person or phone 5263 1229 by 9.30am on the day to register your name.

Winners Saturday: Barry Mason, Heather Campbell, Jeff Anderson Monday: Keith Hornibrook, Gerard Morrison, John Koster Tuesday: Sue Rolls, Heather Campbell, Geoff Kendall, Pam Marr

Happy hour Come and join in the fun and frivolity at the Anglesea Bowling Club for a happy hour or two every Friday from 4pm onwards. You will be made most welcome.

MY BIG CATCH WITH GARRY KERR

Thursday 21 August 2014

IT’S not often recreational fishers get to make a quid or two from going out fishing. More than often it is the exact opposite, we spend a lot of money on bait, tackle and fuel to get out there and achieve our own “big catch”. But now, with the advent of more and more programs looking to expand our knowledge on our fisheries and the management of our fish stocks, it seems recreational anglers are being asked more and more often to help protect our marine environment, with the view to maintaining our right to fish into the future. After all, it’s a no-brainer when it comes to fishing – who better to ask than a recreational angler if you need help in a marine environment. They are the people who are out there experiencing what is happening. It seems now that some universities are starting to realise this and are prepared to offer incentives to achieve their goals, acknowledging in the process that without recreational fisher help they cannot advance their studies. So it seems there is no better time than now to maybe win that extra

FISHING REPORT ANGLESEA Fishing off local beaches is still seeing salmon being caught Those adventurous enough to go rock fishing are also still catching salmon The Anglesea River has reportedly turned an iridescent blue again.

APOLLO BAY Still salmon being caught off Marengo and the wall at the harbour Couta and pike are being caught out wide Grass whiting are being caught in the harbour Tuna are being caught out really wide. For all your bait and tackle in Apollo Bay, contact Steve or Jen. They will be more than pleased to help you, phone 5237 6434.

dollar to put towards that new rod or at least a deposit on one. The following is now on offer for recreational fishers (from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries): If you catch a sevengill shark, check to see if it is tagged but don’t pull out the tag. Each tag reported will go into a random draw to win a $100 reward. There will be three random draws held between October 2014 – 2016. Report tags and your contact information to Paul Hamer at paul.hamer@depi.vic.gov.au. This project focuses on the early life stages (newborns and juveniles) of this species. The success of this project greatly relies on your support as recreational anglers. Please quickly record the tag number, GPS location, total length (TL), date and time before releasing said shark back into the waters. Project information: Tagging is an important tool used to understand behaviour, movement (habitat use and migration) and population dynamics (abundance,

growth and mortality) of animals. This program is part of the PhD thesis of Alicia Schmidt-Roach at the University of Tasmania (UTAS), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), in collaboration with James Cook University (JCU), Deakin University and Fisheries Victoria. From October 2014 to June 2016, the study will tag (dart tags, rototags and internal acoustic tags) sevengill sharks in Port Phillip Bay. The information from this program will be used to assess the population structure and movement of sevengill sharks in Port Phillip Bay, Western Port and south-eastern Australia. Pictures of tagged sharks showing the tags would be appreciated!

If you would like further information on the project, contact Alicia Schmidt-Roach on Alicia. SchmidtRoach@utas.edu.au, SMS 0404 080 023, or visit imas.utas.edu. au/people/profiles/postgraduate/s/ alicia-schmidt-roach2. If tag is removed please contact the above for return information.

Photos If you have some real catches you want to send in please forward them to the email address below, with type of fish, weight, length, location and your name. I am happy to place your photos in My Big Catch or online. Email photos to mybigcatch@bigpond.com.

Dalli overcomes adversity in fight win

Lachie Gangell, Ashley Lynch and Jay Dalli after Jay’s hard-fought win.

ON SUNDAY August 17, 17-year-old Jay Dalli trained by Ashley Lynch at Torquay Coastal Boxing and Fitness Gym won his fifth fight. The fight was held at the Italian Club in Werribee and conducted by the Victorian Amateur Boxing Association (VABA). “It was a tough day at the office for Jay,” Torquay trainer Ashley Lynch said. “When after a gruelling six weeks of boxing training and sparring Jay finally stepped into the ring ready to rumble, the ref told Jay, ‘no red mouth guards allowed’. “This was a new rule we had not been made aware of and had to quickly improvise on. “We found an old abandoned mouthguard which didn't fit and made it almost impossible for Jay to breath. “Nevertheless, and to Jay's credit, he came from behind in rounds one and two and fought like mad in round three to just slip in a win against a taller, heavier Kostya Thallis from Surry Hills.” Jay has won Torquay titles at Coastal Boxing in four different weight divisions and is a previous Victorian Amateur Boxing League (VABL) featherweight state title holder (Torquay's James Curry also from Coastal Boxing is the current VABL lightweight state title holder). “There will be no rest for Jay as he is fighting again in two weeks in Parkville in the lead up to the VABA state and national titles being held in November later this year.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB THE week started with some of the more adventurous golfers playing in the wet. The ladies completed in the SWDLGA Country Teams Day at Barwon Valley. It was a damp day calling for good wet weather gear and plenty of air. Our best were Ann Stokes and Suellen Eskrigge in Division 1, and Janice Pekin and Margot Parton in Division 2. They both scored 34 points, but it wasn’t enough to take home a prize. Congratulations are extended to Ann Stokes, who will be travelling with the South West District team as a caddy next week. Meanwhile, the men’s veterans played over at Queenscliff and we didn’t have any more luck there.

WITH MARGOT SMITH

points, and they will go on to represent the club at the district event. Sue Gell and Heather Campbell were runners-up and NTP winners were Heather Campbell, Valda Connelly, Dinah Kosky and Beatrice Stephens.

Wednesday was also a wet challenge for the mid-week monthly medal. The competition was stableford and the winner of the medal was B Grade winner Tom Leeds with 40 points. Other winners were Wayne Pipe in A Grade with 38 points, Craig Johnson in C Grade with 34 points and Alan Parton in the seniors with 37 points. NTP winners were Lloyd Fletcher, Wayne Pipe, Chris Sawyer and Peter Hester, and Christian Robertson started off his round with an eagle on the 1st. Finally, a nice day for the ladies on Thursday and they were able to play the postponed Doris Chambers foursomes competition. Winners were Pauline Hendrie and Valda Connelly with 32

Saturday was the qualifying rounds of the Nick O’Donohue with a 4BBB and should have been the start of the Red Markers. However, we didn’t have enough competing for the Red Markers so that event has been cancelled for this year. The Nick O’Donohue will continue but with a smaller group of qualifiers. Winners for the day were Christopher Knight and David Hitchcock with 9 up. Ian Treloar and Don Parry were runners up with 7 up on a count back from Mario Tutone and Peter Parfitt. In the ladies event, Nancye Warhurst and Sue Bowler were the best with 2 up. NTP winners were Sheamus Sushames, Daryl Britnell, Chris Duffield and Tom Scarborough. The clear weather stayed for the Sunday golfers. The competition was par for those not in the Nick O’Donohue event. Jane Grutzner won the ladies with 2 down and Ann Stokes was runner-up with 3 down. In the men’s event Tom Steven won with 5 up and visitor Frank Cosic was runner-up with 2 up. NTP winners were Bernie Stokes, Maria James, Kevin Wheeler and Ted Steven. Enjoy your golf and stay warm.

TUESDAY, it was up to only 15 pairs of ladies to compete for the title of 4BBB champions. The weather kept most of them off the course but there are always the true golfers that no matter what nature throws at them they are determined to play. Sue Booth and Ross Lewis were two of those players and with a hard fought score of +3 they finished 1st, one ahead of runners-up Lesley Grebe and Merle Whitnall on +2. NTPs Yvonne Mazylis, Corole Mayne, Joan Thomson and Gillian Strickland. Lyn Delmenico hit the jackpot. Wednesday, Nick Ivens played a solid round scoring +5 to take out A Grade. B Grade winner Rod Chappell played well to finish with +3. Richard Hughes had the ultimate golf round carding +8 and that earned him bragging rights with his partners not to mention he was also the C Grade winner by 5 shots. Ian Adams played well to win the Resort competition with an impressive +5. NTPs were Ed Featherston, Nathan Papworth, Tony Strahan, Alan Foss and Bob Gough. Rex Dale hit the best shot onto the 17th jackpot hole. Friday, Paul Brunt with 37 points finished on top for A Grade. Peter Burford scored 40 points to take out B Grade. Deb Shoesmith with only 31 points had the best for the ladies and for the resort course Bill Brushfield scored 36 points. NTPs were Andy Clark, Steve May, Anne Staig and Bill

Brushfield. Ron Haeberle hit the jackpot. Saturday the men played 4BBB and Rex Hutchins and Pat Cormack combined well to have 48 points and win on count back from Paul Simons and Darren Bartlett. Ainsley McCallum won the ladies with 34 points and the Resort win went to Greg Baeck by one shot with 37 points. NTPs were Geoff Grayling, Brian Baranski, Gary Pike, Ed Robertson, Ainsley McCallum, Claire Dowley and Greg Baeck. Well done to Alan Foss taking out this week’s jackpot. Sunday, John Monagle had an impressive back 9 shooting +5 to finish overall with +4 and take out the mixed competition. NTPs were Barry Morrison, Damian Harrington and Andrew Carr was the closest on the 17th to win the jackpot. Golf week entry forms are now available on our website or from the golf shop. Make sure that you get your entries in early to secure your time slots. If you attended the Tuesday ladies night last year then you would know what a fabulous night it was and so we encourage you all to get your table together for this year’s event in quickly as we have heard it will be even better this year. Already, preparations are in full swing for the entertainment. Sorry men, it is ladies only.

MIDWEEK RESULTS

THE SANDS TORQUAY MEN Wednesday Stroke: With a field of 52, the men managed to overcome the slight wind and come in with some solid scores. Ross Millar led the competition with a great score of 69 closely followed by Robert Foster with an honourable score of 71. A special mention to Charlie Celi having an eagle on the 10th hole. Ray Hocking took out the 13th hole. Saturday Stableford: With sunny conditions and a slight breeze it was a great day for golf. Out of the field of 86, Luke Muller managed to win A Grade with a great score of 37 with Billy Mitris following closely with a very respectable 34. B Grade was blasted away by Terry Tobin with a sensational score of 40 with runner-up Brian Walsh trailing behind with once again a very respectable score of 34. The 13th hole was taken down by sharp shooting Liam Buchanan and the 17th by Frank Kevric.

LADIES Thursday Gold Tee Par: The ladies had a great day for golf: overcast in the morning but then the sun breaking through in the afternoon. The ladies played off the gold tees, and with the mild winter conditions the course was set up for some good scoring. However, the shortened course and the ground still a bit heavy under foot proved tough for a lot of the 2 Sands Boulevarde, Torquay Clubhouse: 5264 3333 Pro Shop: 5264 3307

WEEKEND RESULTS

FROM THE MEMBERS’ ROOM lady members. It was Sharron Stewart who managed to play to her handicap with a top score of square, from Merle Whintall who ground it out for a score of -2 in second place. Saturday Stableford: The ladies were in for a treat on Saturday with great golfing conditions. The small but dynamic field played to the best of their ability with the lovely Marianne Bridgart winning the competition with a very respectable 33 closely followed by Karen Lombardi with a score of 31.

MEDLEY Tuesday Stableford: No comp Sunday Par: Overcast for the morning players who had favourable conditions with a very light breeze teeing off the white and red markers. Unfortunately the wind picked up mid morning and continued getting stronger in the afternoon. It was Chris Totton and Richard Fearon who were out at first light battling it out for first place honours, but it was Chris who came home with a late charge with 3 up on the back 9 to win a count back from Richard who played well also both on 1 up.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB JUST a reminder that the 17th Annual Carnival of Golf at Portarlington Golf Club is on from August 30 to September 5. With over $15,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, it’s well worth entering one of the 10 events on offer. Every hole-in-one during the tournament wins a 42” TV set! The first Carnival of Golf was held in 1997 at Portarlington Golf Club to showcase the course and facilities on offer, and encourage visitors and sponsors from all over the state. From humble beginnings, when golf in Geelong was struggling at the time, the carnival has now grown to be one of the largest golfing events on the Victorian calendar, boasting over 1,000 golfers from all over Australia. “The Carnival of Golf offers events to attract golfers from every level, with the Men’s 36 Hole Championship, Ladies 27 Hole Championship, as well as stableford and ambrose events”, club chief executive officer Ron Stockdale said. “The attractive prizes available as well as our PGA Award winning course make the carnival the popular event it is today”.

WITH ROB CASEY

was Stan Mascoll, who won A Grade with +2 by a shot from Ross Murrihy. A count back separated Jerry Raveane and Rob Stiglbauer to top the B Graders with +1, and Brian Webster’s +1 won him D Grade from Gordon Mainsbridge on -1.

Wednesday August 13, Ladies’ Stableford Of our 61 ladies who took to the course, none did better than Ladies Secretary Judith Webber with her 36 points which also won her A Grade by three shots from Helen Powe. Lynne Kirby and Gweneth Barnett topped the B Graders with their 31 points each, while Christine Watson won C Grade with 31 from Helen Newitt on 29.

Saturday August 16, Men’s and Ladies’ 4BBB Stableford

Thursday August 21 – Stableford Saturday August 23 – Par/Par Sunday August 24 – Stableford

We had a winner by the biggest margin seen for a long time – Colin Davey, take a bow! His massive 7 up won him Trophy of the Day and C Grade from Alf Kisuilius who was 1 up, while our next highest score

It paid to tee off at about 8.45am, because the four that did won both Men’s and Ladies’ events between them! Wayne Dixon and Carmel Said put together a quiet 47 points to win the men’s from Phil and Jacob Toyne on 46, then Len Elder and Bill Reid also on 46. Karen Thomas and Mary Menzel got the ladies voucher with 42 on a count back from both Lorraine Bright and Bec Waldron, and Carol Dobson and Marg Mascoll. Bec got both NTPs for the ladies, while the Men’s went to Alan Keary, Greg Lipscombe and David Cominie.
