See the RACV RACV Torquay Resort will open for business on Saturday June 1, with an open day this Sunday May 26 from 10am-3pm giving locals the opportunity for a sneak peek into the facility. The opening of the $115 million development concludes a project that began when RACV bought the property from Torquay Golf Club in October 2008. Construction began on the resort in November 2010. The five-level, 92-room building is the largest rammed-earth structure in Australia and contains conference rooms and fitness facilities, including a gym, heated 25-metre indoor pool, and tennis courts. Here, RACV Torquay general manager Dean Newell gets ready to welcome the public this weekend. Mr Newell said the resort car park will be closed for the event and those wishing to attend should park at Spring Creek Reserve and take advantage of a free shuttle bus to the resort.

CRASH CORNER

Renewed calls to fix intersection of Beach Road and Surf Coast Highway

BY JAMES TAYLOR LESS than three weeks after a three-car collision, a busy intersection in Torquay has been the scene of another crash. Surf Coast Shire will consider stepping up its efforts to have traffic lights or a roundabout installed at the intersection

of Beach Road and the Surf Coast Highway, after a two-car crash there on Thursday. Police said a white Toyota Hilux was travelling along Beach Road from east to west about 10.45am and was waiting in the centre of the highway, before it attempted to cross and was hit

from the left by a north-bound black Volkswagen Golf. The Hilux’s left doors were crumpled by the impact but the collision wrecked the front of the Golf, scattering pieces of plastic all over the western side of Beach Road between McDonald’s and Quiksilver. The male drivers of both cars were

uninjured in the crash, which police believe was not due to excessive speed. Leading senior constable Jason McGowan of Torquay police said there was heavy rain at the time of the crash and it was believed the driver of the Golf did not have his lights on. “It’s a straightforward t-bone, the ute just didn’t see the car coming.” He said measures were under consideration to reduce crashes at the intersection of the four-lane highway. “We get a few here.” One of the drivers of the cars said traffic lights or a roundabout should be built as soon as possible.

“They need something here, it’ll keep happening with more people coming in.” Thursday’s crash follows the April 30 collision on the eastern side of the intersection, between the Subway restaurant and the Torquay Animal House. There have been several calls into improve safety at the intersection, with a petition including 503 signatures urging the installation of traffic lights or a roundabout filed in state Parliament by South Barwon MP Andrew Katos in 2011. Sure Coast Shire director of infrastructure Sunil Bhalla said the council had lobbied VicRoads and the state government to upgrade the intersection for several years. “The council is now considering pursuing further funding options, as we share the view that the intersection needs to be upgraded due to increasing traffic volumes and to prevent future accidents. “While the Surf Coast Highway is a VicRoads-managed road, the council stands ready to contribute some funding towards any works in the interests of alleviating the safety issues at the intersection as soon as possible. “Discussions will continue with VicRoads and the state government to resolve the issue.”

Paragliding flight ends in tragedy BY JAMES TAYLOR

Police resumed their search for the other occupant of the paraglider – a 66-year-old male – at first light yesterday, but as the Surf Coast Times went to press, he had not been found. Mr Lithgow and his passenger took off from Flaxman’s Hill, near Nirranda South at about 2.30pm on Saturday. When the tandem flight failed to return to a designated return point, fellow gliders raised the alarm. Mr Lithgow was known as the “flying

A TORQUAY man is dead and another man is missing after their paraglider crashed into the ocean near Warrnambool at the weekend. The police air wing found the body of 52-year-old man Rob Lithgow and the canopy of the paraglider about 10.30am on Sunday off the coast near Nirranda, between Warrnambool and Peterborough.

pastor”, and his Adventure Life website outlines his combined love of ministry and flying. According to the website, Mr Lithgow “grew up as a missionary kid in Papua New Guinea with a passion for flying, (and) he built and learned to fly hang gliders from a young age”. He pastored churches in Melbourne and on the Surf Coast and was involved in church planting and outreach ministry for 25 years.

Mr Lithgow and his wife, Kate, also ran Adventure Airsports, a Torquaybased hang gliding and paragliding training school. Bells Beach Christian Church senior pastor Trent Young, who spent time consoling Mr Lithgow’s family yesterday, said he had known the 52-year-old since 2004. “He was a passionate guy – he loved his flying and his faith, and I think that’s how his family would want him to be

remembered by. “He loved to attach his love and talent for flying with what he believed – it went hand in hand for him.” He said Mr Lithgow would be deeply missed by his wife and their four children. “If you took a few moments to meet his family, you would realise what a great bunch of people they are.” Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

Funds parked for linear park BY JAMES TAYLOR PEOPLE of all ages will be able to enjoy a linear park planned for Banyul Warri Fields in Torquay. The $1.5 million recreation and play area will sit between the extension of Merrijig Drive – now being built – and the existing football oval, and is expected to open in between 12 to 18 months. It will contain separate playgrounds for pre-school children and primaryaged children, the biggest skate park in the Surf Coast Shire, a civic space, barbeques, toilets and a multipurpose training area. On Friday, Corangamite Federal MP Darren Cheeseman announced the shire would receive $500,000 towards the cost of the park

through round three of the federal government’s Regional Development Australia Fund. The shire and the state government will contribute the rest of the cost. Mr Cheeseman said the park would encourage an active generation of youths on the Surf Coast. “People, no matter how old they are, will be able to play in this space.” He said the federal government had already contributed about $4 million towards works at the community and civic precinct. “It’s great to be able to announce the next piece of the puzzle.” Surf Coast mayor Libby Coker said she remembered standing in the space occupied by Banyul Warri Fields in 2010 when it was still a paddock. “The contributions from state and

federal governments have been really welcome in creating a civic precinct and a fantastic recreational facility.” She said the park would slot in with the existing recreation spaces and the coming new home of Surf Coast Secondary College. “We have a school nearby and this sort of facility will dovetail nicely for us.” Shire youth development officer Jarrod Zdrzalka said having a second skate park in Torquay would take the pressure off the Beach Road skate park and improve the quality of facilities. “The existing skate park is the oldest in the shire and the most heavily used. “There’s some state and nationallevel skateboarders in town.”

GREEN THE COAST COLUMN

Watch the water where river meets sea A YOUNG coastal volunteer is keen for more people to discover the coast’s “intriguing” estuaries at an upcoming community event. Anglesea EstuaryWatch volunteer Georgie Grieg, 23, regularly takes samples at five different sites along the Anglesea River estuary, including the estuary mouth, as part of the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA) EstuaryWatch Program. CCMA is hosting an Estuaries Unmasked event with presentations from coastal experts for people interested in learning about river estuaries and the EstuaryWatch program. Special guest speakers include Fiona Warry, an estuarine scientist at Arthur Rylah Institute and Gregory McDonald from Wild Sea at Melbourne Zoo. Ninety-three active monitors across the state are involved in EstuaryWatch, monitoring estuaries to help river managers determine their health. Ms Greig, who is a safari guide at Werribee Open Range Zoo, said she got involved because she wanted to learn more about waterways and river health and estuaries really intrigued her. “I knew they had two layers with the salt and fresh water but I didn’t know much more and I thought joining EstuaryWatch was a good way to check out the beach and would be a pretty relaxing way to spend some time too. “My role in this group involves monitoring the estuary every couple of months (each month it is monitored by two of the Anglesea volunteers), filling in if needed and being an avid team leader. “It’s rewarding to be a part of the group and to know the data collected is important for estuary health and basic knowledge,” she said. CCMA EstuaryWatch coordinator Rose Herben

said there are seven volunteers who conduct monitoring and testing at the Anglesea River. “Volunteers take photos of the river mouth, record wind strength and sea scales, and monitor whether the estuary is open or closed. They also test oxygen, salinity, depth, pH levels, and assess how water quality changes from top to bottom,” she said Volunteer’s record data collected on the EstuaryWatch online database which covers estuaries in all three CCMA regions and can

be viewed by clicking on the location maps at estuarywatch.com.au. “Community members are always interested and keen to know more about what you are doing so there are opportunities to connect the public to their estuary and conservation initiatives,” Ms Greig said. The seminar is on Wednesday May 22 from 6.30-8.30pm at Apollo Bay Bowls Club, 6 Moore Street, and Apollo Bay. To RSVP for the seminar or to learn more about EstuaryWatch contact Rose Herben on 5232 9100.

Budget builds up shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure BY JAMES TAYLOR THERE will be nearly $19 million of capital works across the Surf Coast Shire in the next financial year as the council tries to improve community infrastructure. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft budget announced major projects in all four wards, which will be funded by no new borrowings. Spending in Torquay ward includes $288,000 for a regional bike route through Torquay, $200,000 to extend the Jan Juc kindergarten, $180,000 for a bridge between Spring Creek Reserve and Aurora Crescent and $175,000 for the widening of Horseshoe Bend Road in Torquay. In Anglesea ward, there is $1.25 million for cell liner works at the Anglesea landfill, $140,000 for drainage works, $125,000 towards upgrading the Anglesea Bowls Club and $140,000 for upgrades at the Anglesea transfer station. Winchelsea ward will receive $950,000 to redevelop the Mount Moriac Reserve Pavilion,

$465,000 to purchase land for a future upgrade of Eastern Reserve in Winchelsea, $400,000 to renew Larcombes Road in Winchelsea and $300,000 to replace the culvert on Church Road in Modewarre. Spending in Lorne ward includes $540,000 towards rehabilitating the old Deans Marsh landfill, $500,000 for an extension of the Lorne visitor information centre and $200,000 towards drainage and oval upgrades at Lorneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stribling Reserve. Cr Rose Hodge said she and her fellow councillors had made 67 requests for items in the budget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from toilets to â&#x20AC;&#x153;big, strategic documentsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the community appreciated the investment in council facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are using them more, and this is the standard they expect.â&#x20AC;? Cr Margot Smith said the budget process had been challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were quite a few things we would have liked to have in the budget but we only have one source of revenue.â&#x20AC;?

Anglesea Bowling Club received some funding in the Surf Coast Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft budget. Pictured here are (L-R) Paul Weight, Libby Coker, Terry Mulder, Sarah Henderson, Keith Hornibrook and Margot Smith at the launch of the feasibility study into the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redevelopment earlier this year.

Land bankers hit with biggest rate rise BY JAMES TAYLOR SURF Coast Shire has targeted owners of vacant residential land as part of its strategy to keep rate rises low in its 2013/14 draft budget. The council expects to have an operating surplus of $4.84 million in the coming financial year, and has forecast a 5.9 per cent increase in rate revenue. The cost for the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,400 vacant residential properties will lift from 150 per cent to 200 per cent of the general rate, and the charge on farmland will drop from 85 per cent to 75 per cent of

the general rate. As a result of the redistribution, the average rate rise on residential properties will only be 4.2 per cent, and rates on farm properties will fall by an average 8.1 per cent. Shire director of corporate services Chris Cowley said charging owners of vacant residential land twice the general rate would encourage them to develop rather than engaging in land banking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This may prompt people to look closely at the valuation of their land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will either persuade people to build, or to sell

to people who will build.â&#x20AC;? The budget, released last week, also has about $1 million in new initiatives. These include a $200,000 increase to the management of pest animals, plants and weeds, support for a Lorne Performing Arts Festival, investigating the feasibility of a recreation reserve in Aireys Inlet, and a disability access audit of all of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car parks and buildings. Surf Coast mayor Libby Coker said the fourward structure had allowed the council to look more broadly at the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think councillors all believe we have to serve our shire first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the needs of rural and coastal communities are very different.â&#x20AC;? Cr Heather Wellington said the ward process had worked at its best during the creation of the budget, and was pleased to see more funding for rural areas such as Winchelsea. The council is welcoming submissions to the draft budget, which will close on June 11. To read the draft budget and for more information, head to surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Public transport consultation rolls on BY JAMES TAYLOR PEOPLE across the Geelong region are being canvassed for their thoughts on how to create the best public transport network for now and into the future. The G21 Geelong Region Alliance has held workshops in Queenscliff, Torquay and Geelong over the past two weeks and has encouraged everyone to attend next week’s regional summit. About 25 people attended the Torquay workshop at the Grant Pavilion on Tuesday. International technical and management support company AECOM is running the consultation for

G21, and is asking participants three key questions: • what is public transport for (social appointments, reducing pollution, commuting) • what attributes are important (directness, frequency, cost) • what is important in the broader land use of public transport (more car parking at train stations). AECOM senior transport planner Ian Hopkins said the consultation aimed to generate a strategic view for the region, which was especially important in growth areas such as Torquay North and Armstrong Creek.

“Public transport, to work well, has some quite direct challenges to fulfill, and we’re trying to find that balance.” Ideas raised in Torquay included changing legislation to give access to buses outside of school hours, providing public transport access to all people, increasing the number of stops on the bus network and developing a bus tracker app with real-time updates. Sue O’Shanassy from the 3228 Residents Association attended the workshop, and while disappointed with the number of people there, said it was good to consider the broader public transport requirements.

“I think there was more interest in the finer details (from the participants), but I do think it’s important to go through the process and detail the needs. “You can’t just think of what’s needed in Torquay or Jan Juc.” She said the few bus services servicing the town meant many people would never consider it as an option, and suggested reliability as the key factor in increasing patronage. The regional summit will be held at The Arena in North Geelong. For more information, head to g21transport. com.au.

Local landcarers new partnership BY ALI DEANE A NEW partnership between Bunnings Warehouse and local landcarers has secured future projects in Torquay and its hinterland. Bunnings Warehouse has donated wheelbarrows, rakes, spades and other equipment to Torquay Landcare Group for use on local environmental works, and with numerous revegetation events on the calendar, the tools will be coming in handy very soon. Torquay Landcare Group is currently working to revegetate a two kilometre stretch of Spring Creek, from the bridge on the Surf Coast Highway to Duffields Road. This site has particular significance as its walking track is named after John Bowman, a local landcare pioneer, and the

area is in need of attention. President of Torquay Landcare Group Margot Galletly said they greatly appreciated Bunnings’ support for their important environmental work in the community. “It is important to have green patches, and the future needs all the help it can get. “This equipment will help enormously with the achievements of our projects,” Ms Galletly said. Torquay Landcare Group will be at the Spring Creek site for major works on June 21, where they will plant natives grown from seeds from the site. Over the last five years, Torquay Landcare has been involved in coastal revegetation projects with Quiksilver and other local environmental groups, and on September 6 Quiksilver staff will donate their time once again to join in

on more planting. Will from Bunnings said Landcare was a fantastic group. “The work they do around the country and locally is encouraging. “We’re proud to be associated with a group like that. “When you drive past the area in the future, you will be able to see the benefits of plantings. This is the future.” Torquay Landcare Group is made up of 60 people who assist with local events to improve the environment. The group greatly welcomes new members or anyone wanting to join in on planting days, which are catered with lunch.

Passed a shell on road to hub BY HAMISH BROOKS

GOVERNMENT at every level is thinking of the children with many children’s hubs in the planning stage or being built across the region. The progress of the integrated children’s hub in Shell Road in Ocean Grove is a stand out example. Ocean Grove councillor Jan Farrell toured the facility recently and was in awe of what she saw. “The kinder and children’s facility is absolutely awesome,” she said. “I’ve seen the plans of course but to walk through the space and get a sense of how it will be when finished was amazing. It’s a state-of-the-art facility with many clever design elements. “For instance there’ll be a sunken kitchen where parents and teachers will be able to demonstrate things to children where the kids will be at eye level. “The hub will also have a beautiful garden in its centre which the centre will look out on.” Cr Farrell was also impressed by the size of the development. “It’s four to five tennis courts in size. “I couldn’t stop grinning. I was really impressed.” In his fortnightly column published in the Bellarine

Times, Geelong mayor Keith Fagg also commended the progress being made on the facility. “It is exciting to see the building take shape, allowing us to gain more of an idea of what the finished facility will be like,” he said. “The centre will provide a much needed increase in kinder spaces, plus it will provide parents with a ‘one stop shop’ for their child care needs, including maternal and child health, child care and kinder. “The City of Greater Geelong has provided $8.5 million for the Ocean Grove Integrated Children’s Centre and the state government has contributed $1 million.” The centre will include: • two preschool rooms and associated playgrounds • seven child care play rooms and associated playgrounds • an occasional care room and associated playground • two maternal and child health consulting rooms • a general consulting room • a multipurpose room • a toy library. Works are on track for the new centre to be opened by the start of 2014.

The works on the Ocean Grove Integrated Children’s Centre are progressing quickly. Since this shot was taken, the roof of the centre has nearly been completed.

Structural repairs will be carried out on the Lorne swing bridge.

Foundation funding sought for Lorne swing bridge BY JAMES TAYLOR

THE Great Ocean Road Coastal Committee (GORCC) is seeking funding to improve the foundations of the Lorne swing bridge. The bridge was closed in March for a structural investigation, which was carried out earlier this month. An earlier engineering report found the bridge’s deck and handrails were nearing the end of their useful life and needed replacement. GORCC chief executive officer Richard Davies said after consulting with engineers, GORCC was not satisfied with the integrity of the foundations. “An examination of the foundations was necessary prior to the start of work on the deck and handrails. Given that we already know that the deck and handrails require replacement, we are presented with an ideal opportunity to secure the bridge’s foundations first.” He said remediation works would be done in as timely a manner as possible. “We recognise that this iconic bridge is

important to the community and that its closure is an inconvenience and we will endeavour to complete the work before peak season. “We have taken immediate action to begin design work for the remediation of the foundations and are currently preparing tender documentation for the reconstruction. “We are also investigating the feasibility of providing alternative access across the river.” Mr Davies said GORCC had shortlisted suitable contractors, who would be invited to tender. “The tender process is expected to begin in midJune and remediation work will begin once funding has been secured. The cost of this reconstruction work is expected to be significant and GORCC is planning to set aside funds in the 2013/2014 budget for the works. “Funding support has also been sought from Surf Coast Shire and we are waiting for approval of that support. We have also submitted a request for funding support from the state government and we expect to receive a response by mid-June.”

DEE STEWART

Many are aware that I have in the past been critical of the fact that the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) Chairman has declined to meet with me in my role as the Chair of the Committee for Lorne, where I represent and am accountable to many community organizations and individuals. I was therefore most pleased that an offer to meet with him came through GORCC CEO Richard Davies recently. Although I was unfortunately unavailable at the proposed time, I’m very much looking forward to meeting with the Chairman in the near future. We can all be critical of the various Government agencies that govern our town, often without acknowledging the great work and other initiatives that often go un-noticed. As much as we always want more, the natural beauty of our amazing town will always have others in awe of what Lorne has, and provide the perfect canvas for the planning and grooming of what our agencies are able to add – hopefully in partnership with the desires of the Community of Lorne! It was great to hear in the past week that a machinery malfunction at the Lorne Country Club, which looked like dampening a prestigious ladies golf tournament, was quickly overcome by the sharing of a GORCC resource. When a “little birdie” shared this information with me I couldn’t help but think that this is what our community and internal relationships are all about and what a great example in moving forward. Whilst on GORCC allow me to provide their update on our famous Swing Bridge which has been out of action for some months now. According to an engineer’s report, the integrity of the foundations of the bridge is a concern and that work must take place to ensure the bridge is here for future generations. Given that the handrails and deck have to be replaced, the opportunity is presents to complete all the work in its entirety. GORCC have recognized that the closure of the bridge is an inconvenience to the community and is currently investigating the feasibility of providing alternative access across the river, and the Committee for Lorne encourage and fully support this initiative and are grateful to GORCC for their open communication about the process. For the community of Lorne, the Swing Bridge over the Erskine River is as signiﬁcant an icon as the Harbour Bridge and Opera House to Sydney and Westgate and Eureka Tower to Melbourne!!

IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN Committee for Lorne

The backbone of our community As we all know, it’s no longer fishing or logging that keeps the Lorne economy ticking, it’s the tourist dollar. It’s the simple truth that the hospitality and accommodation sectors are the combined biggest employers of our local workforce (2011 Census). The benefits of tourism are many. Tourism most obviously provides economic benefit to our community in the form of increased spending, business diversification and employment. Tourism also aids important social benefits reinforcing our identity, pride and history. Furthermore, tourism brings environmental benefit placing a greater focus on conservation of natural resources through the recognition of their importance to visitor experiences and their economic value to our community. Firstly, realising the importance tourism plays to the economic sustainability of our town, the Lorne Business & Tourism Association founded Love Lorne. Established in 2010 to promote Lorne in the off-season, Love Lorne is run by a committee of Lorne business owners and operators and funded by some 50 businesses in town. The organisation has been responsible for a number of initiatives including the Love Lorne website and social media channels; Love Lorne enews; Love Lorne stickers and competitions; publicity; State, Federal and Local Government funding and events including the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival’s Rock Lobster (2013) and Family Fish and Feed (2012); Swing Bridge Model Boat Regatta (2012 & 2013) and the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts (2012 & 2013). The Lorne Festival of Performing Arts (6-8 September 2013) provides an opportunity for our community to experience circus, music, dance and spoken word that is otherwise only available to our compatriots in Melbourne, Adelaide or Edinburgh! The event attracted 1,800 people in 2012 and aims to attract some 2,500 people this year. Some 52% of attendees in 2012 were from outside the Surf Coast region and the committee aims to increase the percentage again this year. Importantly, the business community saw an increase of 7% in both retail and occupancy rates for the month of September 2012 compared to 2011 (also aided by the fantastic Amy’s Grand Fondo Bike Ride). With funding from Surf Coast Shire, Festivals Australia, corporate and private benefactors, not to mention the local business owners and community, the event brings some 60 artists into our town for 3 days of performance. Not to be missed, the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts is a great example of our community

creating a tourism opportunity at a time of year where business sustainability is heavily challenged. Considering the social benefits of tourism, look at the work of the Lions Club of Lorne – each summer the volunteers roll out the snow cone van on the Lorne Foreshore serving the many visitors and enhancing the experience of tourists with a friendly, informative chat and smile. Whilst the volunteers are not directly involved in tourism they are ambassadors for our town communicating our stories and history, and more importantly, the majority of funds raised by the Lions Club of Lorne return to our community through donations to events, clubs and organisations providing much needed social support. Finally, the indirect benefit of tourism to our environment - we are fortunate enough to have organisations such as Lorne Care acting as our community ambassador and caretaker helping to conserve our public spaces for the benefit of visitors and residents alike. As residents, business owners and holiday home owners we must never take it for granted that visitors come to Lorne - we must continue to provide a quality experience, offer new and innovative forms of tourism and always provide a smiling face to ensure visitors return and spread the word about our small town. Tourism is our bread and butter, our life, soul and passion- it is the back bone of the community.

Volunteers fired up for new station BY JAMES TAYLOR ANGLESEA’S firefighters have been impressed by their first look at the town’s new fire station. On Tuesday, the Anglesea fire brigade officially started moving into the site, which has been redeveloped at a cost of $1.8 million. The brigade is moving their equipment from their temporary home into the station, which will be fully operational in a few weeks. The new complex – designed to be Australia’s most ecologically responsible fire station – has a larger turnout room, and new breathing apparatus and drying rooms. Captain Andrew Rankin said the station was unlike any other in Australia, and its

features would make a huge difference to the brigade’s volunteers. He said the brigade planned to be entirely moved out of its temporary home by May 27. In a meeting in the complex, first lieutenant Noel Foster told his colleagues they should celebrate all their work and the work of the community in supporting the station’s construction. “It’s a real, living station we can be proud of, we’ve set the standard.” He also thanked the Anglesea and District Community Bank for its $100,000 grant to the station. Bank senior manager Jeremy Morris said the Community Bank was proud and honoured to be involved with the project. “It’s always a journey to get to this point.

You’ve faced some hurdles along the way but there’s been a never-say-die attitude. It’s a fantastic community asset.” Branch manager Shane Madden said it was a great experience to attend the meeting and see the commitment of the firefighters. “Your respect for each other is outstanding.” The station will be officially opened in August. For more information on the work of the Anglesea CFA, search for “Anglesea CFA” on Facebook.

Flying the rainbow flag for IDAHO BY JAMES TAYLOR THE rainbow flag is now flying above the Surf Coast Shire’s office in Torquay as part of the global IDAHO celebrations. The council held a morning tea and raised the flag on Friday to show its support for IDAHO – the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. The day is marked internationally on May 17 to recognise the 1990 date when the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. Surf Coast Shire mayor Libby Coker said

loving someone of the same gender was still illegal in 80 countries. “Society has come a long way, but there is a lot we can still do.” Cr Rose Hodge said the council hoped to celebrate IDAHO every year. Leisure Networks chief officer and former Surf Coast councillor Libby Mears said the shire had a rich history of acknowledging things that were important. “Sexual diversity should not be a barrier and should not close doors.” Susanne Prosser, from the City of Greater Geelong’s Geelong Adolescent Sexuality

Project (GASP), said advocacy for equal rights was often characterised as a political issue. “On one level it is, but it’s really a health and wellbeing issue. A community that’s not safe for everyone is not a healthy community.” She said young gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people were particularly vulnerable, with 69 per cent of those in Australia experiencing homophobic abuse and 18 per cent experiencing physical abuse. She encouraged young people on the Surf Coast to attend any of GASP’s weekly meetings in Geelong or to learn more by visiting gaspgeelong.net.au.

Tough times ahead for farmers BY DEAN WEBSTER FARMERS in the region are feeling the pinch as they face the lowest rainfall on record coming into a cold winter with little feed in the paddock. Even with last week’s rain, there is unlikely to be any substantial feed in the paddock until spring. Most farmer’s winter hay supply has been reduced over the recent dry spell as they have been forced to hand-feed their stock. This has done little to improve the condition of their stock, which are mostly underweight. Many grain growers have had to sow their crops dry – a risky process for seasonal and yield timeliness – and hope for enough rain to ensure a good germination rate. Malcolm Mewling, who farms near Moriac, said he has been sowing since Easter. “I have sown about 500 acres dry, which is a lot of money tied up but at least

this recent rain will help with germination, but we will need much more,” he said. “There were a lot of nervous farmers around with hay reserves nearly gone and choosing to sow dry.” Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber has weighed in on the side of farmers, asking the state government to declare western Victoria drought affected, and trigger federal assistance. However, Liberal upper house member for western Victoria Simon Ramsay accused Mr Barber of political opportunism. “Mr Barber calls for immediate drought declaration aid, which shows his total lack of knowledge on the process of drought declaration and the role of the National Rural Advisory Council.” Mr Ramsay said his own town of Birregurra faced its lowest annual rainfall in the last 60 years. “All agricultural industries are impacted and whilst some grain growers are sowing dry, stock producers are

heavily hand-feeding stock and carting water for both domestic household and stock needs and stock are being forced into the sale yards, which is creating oversupply and consequent reductions in price.” Livestock agent Will Richardson said that the livestock market has been tough with an oversupply of cows causing a one to two week back log at the abattoirs, driving prices down. “At last week’s Colac cattle sale, cows went for as low as 40 cents per kilo, just four weeks ago they were making 90

cents,” he said. “The lamb job is also down $10-$15 but with decent rainfall the market will improve.” The federal government is committing up to $60 million over the next two years to provide concessional loans to farmers facing significant debt pressures due to poor rainfall. State Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh said the government has indicated support in principle for the Commonwealth’s concessional loans package. “The Commonwealth did not consult

with the Victorian government in advance of announcing this package, so we are now working through the details such as what eligibility criteria the Commonwealth is expecting.” Minister Walsh also said he was acutely aware that farmers have experienced a very dry summer and autumn, most notably in parts of western Victoria. “Farmers always anxiously await the autumn break and so far it has not arrived, although rainfall last weekend and early this week has provided relief to parts of the state.”

Dig deep for Red Shield Appeal BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Salvation Army is helping more vulnerable Australians than ever, and has urged people in the Geelong region to give generously during the Red Shield Appeal doorknock this weekend. It is now estimated 2.2 million people live in poverty, including 12 per cent of Australian children. In the past 12 months, The Salvation Army has helped over 1 million Australians in crisis, provided people in need with over 100,000 meals, provided 5,000 people a week with food vouchers and provided 2,000 beds a week to help homeless people. The Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr Bruce Redman said the need for funds was desperate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge people to donate to the Red Shield Appeal and to help people who are less fortunate.â&#x20AC;? The Salvation Army aims to raise $79 million this year and $10.2 million this weekend. Dr Redman said the charitable organisation only

existed to help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives can change very quickly and life can suddenly spiral out of control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadly we are seeing all kinds of people we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen before needing our help. Some families are living off less than $50 a week once they have paid their rent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very alarming what is happening to some people. It is clear to us many families are struggling to cope day to day.â&#x20AC;? He said money raised would help to fund The Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 600 social programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can reach a point where they feel everything is out of control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through our work weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how you can turn lives around and rebuild people and help them find a clear sense of purpose.â&#x20AC;?

Speaky the surf snow skate language since 1969 BY ALI DEANE IN 1969, the path to Bells Beach was a dirt track, and, when you surfed there, it was usually just your mates out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; imagine that. It was also the year an entrepreneurial handful of surfers threw caution to the wind and decided to start surf businesses Rip Curl, Quiksilver and Speakys. A lot has changed since Terry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speakyâ&#x20AC;? Lyons first opened up shop in Belmont, but much has stayed the same. The story of one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest running family surf businesses began with the idea to open up a surf shop, when surf shops didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even exist. Terry Lyons, a keen surfer, quit his technical job with the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telecommunications organisation

(before it became Telecom and well before it became Telstra), and the rest is history. Today, the Lyons see fourth generation customers coming through the door. Speaky, whose nickname for being quiet, stuck, can still be found working in the store, working the floor, and still hangs out with his mates from the major labels, travelling overseas to ski and down at the beach. Son Nathan Lyons reminisces on growing up on Bells Boulevard, and sitting amongst rows of t-shirts and hoodies, in their mobile store at the annual Bells event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the store now over 20 years and dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still here. There are long lasting friendships and new players, but it has a lot to do with dad

being in the right place, at the right time. The family thought he was crazy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had the first store in Belmont, then stores in Torquay and at Mount Buller. For me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great mix, to have that life of growing up in Torquay and the opportunity to be at Mount Buller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if you ask anyone if they expected weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end up where we are, no one would have expected it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back then they were living the lifestyle, and making products to enable you to surf longer, travel and to sustain the lifestyle thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that became very popular.â&#x20AC;? Terry and Nathan pride themselves on choice and diversity of labels, and offering a bit of old fashioned service.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pick what we think is the best the brands have to offer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all different,â&#x20AC;? Nathan said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The technology of surf boards and wetsuits is still rapidly changing, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept a close partnership with the major brands in Torquay, and having Dragon, Gboards and Modom in Torquay means we can have a close relationship with those guys as well.â&#x20AC;? Speakys Surf Skate Snow is celebrating its 44th year, so what better time to get nostalgic, and think back to what it might have been like, back in 1969. Speakys is offering 44 per cent off all clothing and wetsuits to celebrate its 44th year, and to say thank you to all their loyal customers. Sale ends this Sunday at the store at 114 Little Malop Street, Geelong.

St Therese shows the way in sustainability BY ALI DEANE

Tom Dickenson (grade 4) and Nicole Otter (grade 3) give cheers to the new stainless steel outdoor sink, with Barwon Water’s Fernando Garcia at St Therese PS.

V/Line News Geelong line train replacement

STUDENTS at St Therese Primary School in Torquay are passionate about sustainability and last week Barwon Water made a special visit to the school to congratulate them on their winning entries in the National Water Week competition last year. Lilyanna Keating won $500 for the school in the grade 3/4 category and Poppy Gee also won $500 for the school in the prep category for their thoughtful and inspiring posters that depicted what “Value in our Water” meant to them. The prize money went towards installing a stainless steel sink at the new sustainability learning centre, which students have already been using as part of their outdoor class activities. Barwon Water’s education officer Fernando Garcia said it was encouraging to see students and teachers engaging with the environment.

“St Therese is setting an excellent example with its sustainability centre and a number of other environmental projects. “It’s so great to see a school foster that relationship with the environment with lessons on being sustainable, and making the most of the resources that they have.” Sustainability champion and grade 3/4 teacher Gerard McCarthy said staff and students at St Therese believe strongly in living as sustainably as they can “We are committed to looking after our environment, both locally and globally, and we’re always looking for ways to lessen our impact on the Earth’s resources. “All of this is possible thanks to the support of our school management, especially principal Pauline Audley. Not only have we been provided with resources, but we have been allowed the time to develop sustainable projects.” Barwon Water received 250 entries in the National Water Week competition last year from 10 primary schools in the

does not have any real understanding of the products they are buying when planning ahead for a funeral. Their research suggests that people will settle with the first product they come across instead of looking at value for money or taking the long term costs into account. Funeral insurance seems to be the main discussion point when planning ahead, but not for good reason. Consumer group Choice described funeral insurance as “junk insurance”, and noted that “premiums can add up to several times the benefit your family receives”. However, there are alternatives; in the same article Choice describes prepaid funerals and funeral bonds as “marter alternatives”. To help educate

the community, Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service will open their doors at various locations around Geelong, from Monday May 27 to Friday 31.

Letters Rail support Dear Editor, The suggestion by federal member Darren Cheeseman for a connection of the rail line to Torquay (“In gauge”, Surf Coast Times, May 14) I support as would most people in the Surf Coast, however, what would it cost and what type of rail service should be provided? There are a number of options that could be considered and the couple I support would be a bus/ rail connection like the system currently operating in Adelaide. The bus can use the road but can convert to a rail system giving it clear access to the destination. The other type that should be considered is a lightrail option. It is fine for Darren Cheeseman to suggest that transport links be provided but he well knows that this is a state government issue and I am not sure the federal government is currently in any position to consider funding part or all of his suggestions. The most important outcome of this debate is that the state government in collaboration with the shire and council’s plan for the future connections that will be needed over the next 20 years in this growing region is being discussed.

the reserve are being followed up, with enforcement action to follow. The council has engaged with tour operators for more than 12 months regarding the development of the licensing scheme.” The real story shows that the shire has not effectively managed the bus situation to the point where Go West tours has said there has been no warnings, fines, and that a policy with no enforcement is just a piece of paper, and they will continue to illegally visit Bells! The shire officers worked for 12 months on what exactly? The deterrent of the four hour a day shire vegetation officer was a proven solution in deterring buses, but he has been removed, with the result of more and more illegal commercial bus activity at Bells. The recent resignation of Andrew Cherubin as chairman of Bells Beach Community Advisory Committee – frustrated that the shire is not managing Bells effectively – shows the level mismanagement, negligence and incompetence. So is it shire officers providing inaccurate information to councillors, or spin doctors just creating spin? Maurice Cole President of the Bells Beach Preservation Society

Dear Editor, After reading the article on the front page of the Bellarine Times (“In gauge”, May 14) I note that Mr Cheeseman has a vision on future train services for the Geelong area. This vision of course, falls neatly into the footsteps of Julia Gillard’s promises of unfunded services to the community, a vision which of course may never happen. I pause in writing as a pink pig flies past my window. To Mr Cheeseman – Just where is the money coming from? You suggest about $300 million. There is no money for upgrading existing lines, no money for at least 30 kilometres of new line and no money for at least five new stations. Whoops – there goes another pink pig! With ideas like this, Mr Cheeseman must think we in the Geelong region are stupid! In Mr Cheeseman’s own words of recent times – “it’s bollocks”! It seems to me that Mr Cheeseman lives in some sort of world where money grows on trees. It might, but borrowed money certainly does not. It withers and dies. We are not fools Mr Cheeseman and you must never forget that! Have a nice retirement Mr Cheeseman – on our money! Bob Dare Portarlington

Bells proof Dear Editor, The May 7 edition of the Surf Coast Times provided proof of a mismanaged Bells Beach and is a total contradiction to the Surf Coast Shire’s mayor’s March 16 claim (“Bus patrols pick up at Bells”, Surf Coast Times) that “We are seeing less commercial use of the reserve, which shows it is being managed... The very few unlicensed operators that have accessed

Dear Editor, Wonder not John Bugge (“CCTV concerns”, Letters, May 14). I can tell you who is behind this “ridiculous idea”. As reported in “Port proactive” (Bellarine Times, December 12, 2012), Portarlington Business Development Association president John Rae said at the association’s final meeting of the year: “There was a real excitement when people heard the news – there will be security cameras along the main street and laneways, which will give everyone increased security in Portarlington as they are connected through to the police. We are also very grateful to councillor Lindsay Ellis who has funded the cameras and the wi-fi out of his own (council allocated) discretionary funds”. My thoughts on the matter – security for who? I do not feel insecure in my home town and if the traders do, then shouldn’t the traders association pay for their own security system. Why are the ratepayers of Portarlington funding this through our council representative’s allocated funds when there are other activities crying out for funding – and have been for a very long time.

Keeping the river clean Dear Editor, After the official Clean Up Australia Day, Business and Tourism Anglesea held a midweek clean up the river day. It is a good wind-in-the-willows atmosphere of messing around in boats and dragging a variety of strange stuff out of the water. There are lots of tennis balls, an array of different hats, numerous bottles and cans, tangles of fishing line, and plastic bags. It is worth hooking the smallest bits of visible plastic because they are often just the tip of a plastic iceberg, and can turn out to be very large sheets.

Obviously, this is not all from anglers, much of it comes from the gutters via the stormwater drains; so everyone has to take care. However responsible fishing does include not dumping bait bags, and taking discarded lines away, as well as cans, bottles, and food containers. Keeping the river clean not only benefits our town’s image; it provides a better life for our waterbirds, fish, frogs, and other little creatures that are part of our environment.

Strange political silence Dear Editor, How strangely silent state Labor MPs have been on increases to their own pay packets. They have loudly and constantly lambasted the Napthine government about only granting small increases to nurses, firemen, teachers and ambos, but have quietly done a sweetheart deal to line their own pockets with that same government. While the service people who protect, nurse and save our lives get only small increases, local MPs do very well indeed. For instance, Bellarine MP Lisa Neville, as a Labor shadow minister, reportedly will qualify for a 25 per cent increase in her salary! It seems that indignation over wage levels is only relevant according to the amount you personally receive. Jeffrey Richardson Clifton Springs

Beware carbon monoxide – it’s a silent killer Dear Editor, As winter draws closer, I’d like to remind all Victorians of the need to get their gas heaters serviced to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odourless gas that is produced by faulty, unserviced gas heaters. Carbon monoxide poisoning claims an average of one Victorian life per year and causes chronic physical and cognitive impairment for many more people. Regular servicing is the only reliable way to minimise your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas heater. Our experts recommend servicing by a licensed gas-fitter a minimum of every two years. This applies to every type of gas fuel burning heater, including central heating units, space heaters, wall furnaces and water heaters. A licensed or registered gas-fitter is the only person qualified to service a unit and check for carbon monoxide spillage. When booking an appliance service, it’s vital to ask if the gas-fitter has a carbon monoxide analyser. If they don’t have one, find somebody else. Sometimes the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be subtle and similar to those of the flu – it may go unnoticed or undiagnosed. Don’t let your family fall victim to this silent killer. Take action today to protect your loved ones by having your gas heater properly serviced. Paul Fearon Director energy safety, Energy Safe Victoria

Stop, look, listen and think with ThingleToodle BY ALI DEANE JAN JUC kindergarten students got a special surprise last week when Victoria’s road safety character ThingleToodle dropped in to spread road safety awareness messages and celebrate his fourth birthday. ThingleToodle, with help from professor Eric Speriment, joined the Jan Juc preschoolers to sing educational songs and fun activities to help them learn more about and remember road safety. Key tips the children practiced were to stop, look, listen and think when crossing the road. Other road safety messages ThingleToodle shared were to hold hands with an adult near roads, find a safe place to play, always use the “safety door” (rear passenger kerbside door) and use a child restraint or booster seat. Kindergarten Parents Victoria chief officer Emma King said the VicRoads funded Starting Out Safely program encourages children, parents and carers to work together to guide children’s learning in being and becoming safe and independent road users. “The program also aims to encourage parents and carers to act as role models in road safety and to supervise children effectively in and near traffic,” Ms King said.

Jan Juc preschooler Caitlyn said the main reason behind the day was so children could cross the road safely. Lola said holding hands was really important. And Will said you can only cross the road safely when there were no cars coming. The children also talked about the importance of drivers looking when driving and reversing in car parks, as children are small and not always easy to see. Education sessions featuring ThingleToodle were recently redeveloped to support the new National Quality Framework for early childhood services which promotes road safety education and the quirky character also appears in television commercials funded by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). VicRoads regional director for the south west William Tieppo said ThingleToodle was a key part of Starting Out Safely, Victoria’s early childhood road safety program. “VicRoads is a proud supporter of this program which has been helping to keep children safe on and near roads for many years,” Mr Tieppo said. The Starting Out Safely program is funded by VicRoads, supported by the TAC, and implemented by Kindergarten Parents Victoria.

The quirky road safety mascot ThingleToodle and professor Eric Speriment sing the “Stop, Look, Listen and Think” safety song with children at Jan Juc Preschool last week.

New online ads to target hoons 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.

ONLINE and radio advertisements warning hoons of the consequences of high risk driving behaviour began airing last week, with the first of new hoon school courses expected to be undertaken in coming months. Minister for Roads Terry Mulder said the awareness campaign, which began on Tuesday May 14, was targeted to online sites and radio that attracted a primarily male demographic under the age of 40, a group shown by VicRoads research to be the target audience for hoon offence warnings. Mr Mulder said the ads warned drivers and riders that they will be swapping their car seat for a seat at one of the venues where the six providers are conducting VicRoads safe driving courses. “These courses cost up to $1,100 and the hoons themselves will be paying to attend,” Mr Mulder said. “That’s on top of other penalties which now apply, including higher fines and impoundment

fees, bringing the financial outlay to around $5,000. “That is a significant amount of money and on top of losing your car or bike, it’s really hitting these hoons where it hurts the most. “We know that hoons won’t respond to traditional advertising, so VicRoads has targeted websites and video clips they are most likely to view to warn them that they will be required to attend a safe driving course,” Mr Mulder said. Victoria Police assistant commissioner for road policing Robert Hill said more than 21,000 vehicles had now been impounded since hoon laws came into effect in July 2006. “We’ve seized a wide range of vehicles from brand new BMWs and Mercedes, to older Commodores and motorcycles and just about every make and model in between,” assistant commissioner Hill said. “We know that impounding vehicles deprives a hoon of the thing they most need to continue their

high risk behaviour – their vehicle. “In 2012, there was an increase in the number of vehicles impounded – 4,378, up from 3,856 in 2011. “We are pleased that there will be the additional punishment available for these hoon drivers, at the discretion of the courts, of attendance at a VicRoads safe driving course at their own expense. “Our data shows that hoon driving is not just a problem in metropolitan Melbourne, there are many regional centres which have similar issues. “Our state and local highway patrols conduct large scale operations across the state to target these drivers and riders who continue to endanger themselves and other road users. “We know the community is sick and tired of hoon drivers and we urge them to dob in hoon behaviour to the Crime Stoppers Hoon Hotline on 1800 333 000 so we can follow it up.”

Torquay newcomer a cut above the rest ADVERTORIAL

There is a new port of call for those in need of a hairdresser, a beautician or a nail technician in Torquay, with the recent opening of a new salon. PROPRIETOR Cassie McDonald said that opening Hairology in Torquay had always been in the back of her mind. “There seemed to be a market for what we are all about – great quality customer service and excellent salon experience at an affordable price. “Hairology offers an array of beauty and nail services allowing clients who are time poor to maximise the salon time they have by getting multiple treatments done in the one spot at the one time.” Cassie has been hairdressing for over 15 years, servicing her own clientele as well as training hairdressers for about 10 years. She began her career in Geelong, before creating a name for herself in Melbourne, where she worked and competed for a few years winning a national colour championship. Cassie said she is lucky to have had the ongoing support of her mum, Carol McDonald, who is a renowned hairdresser and an integral part of the salon.

“It’s great to have her there to help out when things get really busy.” Cassie specialises in colouring and precision cutting, but has a passion for doing bridal work and will also be at The Sands wedding expo on Sunday June 2 from 11-3pm. Corneil van Staden represents the nail technician side of the business and brings international experience to her role. “I have been a bio sculpture educator for five years and a bio sculpture nail technician for the past 11 years in Namibia and love using this product that has taken celebrities and the world by storm. “You use your hands for so many things every day – working on the computer, housework, crafting, digging in your purse – which nails often suffer. “Strong, beautiful nails can be difficult to grow and maintain. “Whether you prefer your nails simple and short or glamorous and long, I can help you to keep your nails looking great.” Rounding out the beauty triumvirate is Holly

Carberry, who moved to Torquay two years ago and has been running her beauty business from home prior to establishing herself at Hairology. “After having my first daughter, I decided to follow my passion and train to become a beautician, and have had my own home-based salons for over five years.” She specialises in eyelash extensions but emphasises that she tailors lashes to suit her clients’ looks, so that the lashes are not too long or over the top. Holly said she has added pamper parties to her menu.

“For all the little princesses out there wanting their next birthday to be filled with glitz, glamour and everything pink. “Pamper parties are also available for the older girls – with make-up application parties available.” Hairology is open Monday-Wednesday 10am5pm, Thursday 10am-late, Friday 9am-late and Saturday 9am-3pm. Early/after hours’ appointments are available upon request. Hairology is located at 3/6 Walker Street Torquay. To make an appointment phone 5261 9124.

Marshalling the image AFTER joining the Surf Coast Times in June 2009 and cracking it for his first cover photo later that year, photographer Peter Marshall reached a 100 cover photos milestone recently. He works full time as an IT specialist at a superannuation firm in Melbourne, and fits his photographic commitments around his job time with his wife and four kids and his other passion – karate. Here, he talks us through his favourite photos, his love of photography and his connection to family and place. What do you love about photography?

So it’s really about trying to ensure that everything we do has multiple benefits.

You can freeze any location, any moment at a point in time and if you get it right you can capture some spectacular images which people can enjoy forever. Photography can be technical, creative, physically demanding and great fun.

The Surf Coast is a pretty photogenic place, what are your favourite parts? There is plenty to photograph along the Surf Coast including the Otways. However, I like to go down on to the beach and find new places with cliffs and caves that aren’t well known or hard to get to and find something interesting to photograph. I have an undisclosed place that I have photographed and haven’t released any of the photos as yet.

How do you fit everything in with the time you devote to your family, your job in Melbourne and the hours you work here? I do work extensive hours with my full-time job and my photography commitments. However, we are very focussed as a family to spend as much quality time together as possible. If we can incorporate family time with other activities, we do so. For example, my kids love to come with me to my photographic assignments especially if they are at markets, family days, openings etcetera. We do karate as a family, so again we are together when we do this. I take photos for my son’s junior footy team and my son is happy to have photos of this.

and their homes to a person with a disability for a brief time each month. Our family has benefited enormously from our involvement and I was keen to give back and support this organisation. Our entire family also train in GKR Karate and I am currently on my brown belt working towards my black belt. I am also a member

of the GKR state team.

Favourite photographic assignment? I love covering music events. You can get some great expressions from the artists as they perform and if the stage has professional lighting you can get some great effects with the lighting.

Life with the family? My wife, Kate, and I have four children. Our eldest daughter has Down syndrome. This has certainly opened us up to new experiences and opportunities and has seen us become involved in various voluntary organisations. I am currently a board member of Interchange which is an organisation where members in the community open their hearts

1. Surf Coast Times, 24 November 2009 “Scooting schoolie” – My first front page photo. I was tasked with the job of finding some schoolies photos, however, as that weekend wasn’t really beach weather I was struggling to find anything. Then I happened upon six schoolies all on scooters in the street. Being the first time I had approached schoolies for a photo I was wondering what they would say when a strange man was about to pull up in a car and ask them for a photo, however, they were fine. It’s a simple but effective photo made so by that fact that they all had scooters. 2. Surf Coast Times, 27 April 2010 ANZAC dawn service – Point Danger is a spectacular spot to have this ceremony and there are so many photo opportunities with this just being one of them. A cropped version of this photo has been used on the cover of the dawn service booklet/order of events for the last two years. 3. Surf Coast Times, 14 June 2011 Froth and Bubble festival promotion – I asked Rosemary, John and Debbie to kneel on the floor. I then got my daughter (out of shot on the left) and my son (out of shot on the right) to hold a wooden fence pane with a number books place on it above the adults’ heads. I counted down and they tipped the wooden pane dropping the books. It took about 10 attempts to get this photo. If you look really closely on the right hand side you can just see my son’s Torquay Tigers football jumper as we had just come from one of his U10 matches. 4. Surf Coast Times, 28 February 2012

“Divers in the air” – helicopter in a down pour. I happened upon this heading to a Danawa Gardens job so didn’t have any wet weather protection for my camera. I could tell it was going to be such a good shot I just kept shooting in the downpour as I didn’t want to miss the picture. In the end I was lucky to get this shot as my camera died one shot after the photo on the front page. 5. Surf Coast Times, 20 March 2012 “Rogers That Aireys Rocked” – Tim Rogers was the special guest at the Aireys Open Mic Festival in 2012. When taking band/artist photos if there is a large crowd I always try to take a photo from behind the stage showing the crowd. I wait until the lead singer turns around and acknowledges the drummer during the performance and I’m able to obtain a photo of the lead singer facing the camera with the crowd in the background. Sometimes it takes quite a while to get the photo you want as the lead singer may not turn around for a while. This photo was used in most of the advertising for the 2013 Aireys Open Mic Festival. 6. Surf Coast Times, 27 March 2012 “Pedal Power” – The 2XU Great Ocean and Otway Bike Ride is one of the busiest weekends in Torquay with thousands of cyclists completing one of the two courses on offer. The Great Ocean Road itself offers so many great photo opportunities and combine this with cyclists on mass and it makes for a spectacular photo. To obtain this angle you have to lay down on the road with your camera which meant I had to make sure my car was strategically place to be legally parked while at the same time protecting me from the traffic. This photo was used on the front page of the Supersprint website

over the previous year. 7. Armstrong Creek Times, 10 April 2012 Occasionally there is the chance to get “up close and personal” to the surfers as they surf through the Bells bowl and right up to the shore breakers as they squeeze every inch out of the wave. This photo is such an occasion and Hawaiian Carissa Moore ended up washed up on the beach almost into the crowd after this photo was taken. 8. Surf Coast Times, 13 November 2012 Go Ride A Wave world record for most surfers on a wave. The 200 or so registered surfers for the attempt at the record had one hour to break the world record and they initially started a fare way offshore. Only about 40 surfers at most were getting up at one time until about half an hour in someone had the bright idea to bring everyone into the shore breakers. This seemed to be working. I had placed myself high up on the cliff next to the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club lookout tower. It was quite a high shot and I wasn’t really happy with it. The tide was low and some rocks were exposed so I decided to go down lower on top of the exposed rocks. I missed one of the attempts carefully negotiating the rock and then when in position finally got this photo. What I didn’t realise was that this was the last attempt so only managed to just get this photo and the siren blew after this photo signalling the end of the one hour and as history shows, the world record of 120 surfers on one wave. I’m positive that I was the only person that had this angle as I didn’t see anyone else on the exposed rock, so this is a unique photo.

Torquay loves pink buns BY ALI DEANE TORQUAY has got behind Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pink Bun campaign to raise money for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) to help women with breast cancer. Sixty to 70 buns have been walking out the door at Bakers Delight in Torquay on weekdays and up to 120 each day over the weekend. For most of May, in conjunction with Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Torquay bakers and over 600 Bakers Delight stores around the country have been baking pink finger buns, with the full sale of each bun going straight to BCNA. Nationally, Bakers Delight is aiming to raise a record breaking $1.2 million through the campaign to help fund BCNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to ensure that women diagnosed with breast cancer and their

families receive the very best treatment, care and support possible. Hannah at the Torquay store said everyone had been putting their spare change in the donation tin, bun or not, and had also been donating $1 for a pink lady silhouette with a special message on the wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m behind it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great cause, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done well as a store, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really good.â&#x20AC;? Co-worker Emily said once people knew about the campaign, they got behind it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going really well and the full $1.50 goes straight to breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate all the generous donations. So far weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve donated a lot, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold a lot.â&#x20AC;? The Pink Bun campaign has two days remaining, concluding this Wednesday. BCNA chief officer and breast cancer

survivor Maxine Morand said the support provided through the Bakers Delight Pink Bun campaign is just as important as ever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pink Bun campaign raised more than $1 million for BCNA in 2012, and last year 81 per cent of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia received a My Journey Kit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a figure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredibly proud of at BCNA, but one that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without the help of Bakers Delight and their customers.â&#x20AC;?

Stem cell research for new multiple sclerosis treatment MODIFIED adult stem cells may hold the key to a new treatment for multiple sclerosis, according to University of Adelaide researchers, speaking during Kiss Goodbye to MS month, which runs throughout May. The researchers have started a threeyear research project using adult stem cells from fat tissue to send cells with special anti-inflammatory properties directly to the damaged site in the

central nervous system (CNS). Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord. To control the disease, effective treatments need to control the immune response and repair the damage caused to the fatty myelin sheaths which protect the nerves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With previous work, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already shown that adult stem cells have great potential to both control the immune response and promote repair of the

Anglesea

central nervous system. It also prevents further damage,â&#x20AC;? professor Shaun McColl, director of the centre for molecular pathology, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the trick is getting the stem cells to the right location where they can perform this function.â&#x20AC;? When stem cells are injected into the blood system, very few cross the blood/brain barrier into the CNS. The researchers are manipulating adult stem

Geelong SES unit needs you BY JAMES TAYLOR

Andrews races back to the winner’s circle BY JAMES TAYLOR TORQUAY racer Scott Andrews has made a successful return to the track with a weekend in Western Australia. The 22-year-old driver won two out of three races at the Chill Perth 360 Formula Ford 1600 event, supporting the V8 Supercars. Despite the fact the Andrews Motorsport team had never seen the track before, Andrews came to grips with it quickly, and managed to put his RaceFuels/Andrews Automotive-backed Spectrum

car on pole position. He then proceeded to take home victory in races 1 and 2 and a hard-fought second place in race 3. To add to the success, Andrews also put his name in the record books by smashing the long-standing lap record with his number 44 racer. He said he was “absolutely stoked” to have been so competitive. “There was a lot of young local talent up there so the racing was very close, which made it even more rewarding. I can’t thank my whole team enough for everything they’ve done; I couldn’t have done it

without them.” The first practice session at the Barbagello track was Andrews’ first time in a racecar since last July. He will now head to the United States and compete in the Pro Mazda series. Formula Ford is considered the world’s premier junior development category in motorsport. The open-wheeled, single-seat cars are a breeding ground for higher classes of racing, with most of this year’s V8 Supercar drivers and Formula One driver Mark Webber having success in the cars earlier in their careers.

STORMS and floods have lashed the Geelong region over the years, and the agency that deals with the worst of Mother Nature is looking for new members. The Geelong unit of Victoria’s State Emergency Service (SES) will hold an information night tomorrow for anyone curious about what it means to be an SES volunteer, what they could accomplish, and how they can join the organisation. Part of the evening will include a presentation about the SES and the Geelong unit specifically, a tour of the facility and equipment, an opportunity to hear stories from experienced volunteers, learn about the opportunities volunteers can be afforded, what is expected of SES volunteers, and a chance to ask questions about what exactly the service can offer. The Geelong unit is based in a purposebuilt $1.6 million complex in South Geelong, which features a kitchen, dedicated operation room, training room, management office and undercover storage for fleet and equipment. Deputy controller Stephen Sennett said volunteers were the lifeblood of SES. “Plenty of news footage shows us fixing roofs, and cutting up trees. “But SES volunteers do so much more, and our versatility is one of our greatest strengths. “The same people we have driving our rescue boats and leading crews may also be managing our unit’s finances”. The recruitment information night will be held at Geelong Local Headquarters, 4 Wood Street, South Geelong tomorrow from 7pm.

BY ALI DEANE MANY amazing people call the Surf Coast home, drawn to its uniqueness, ruggedness and space for creativity. Well-known surf photographer Jon Frank hasn’t fallen out of love with the surf since getting swept up in the magic of Sydney in the early 80s as a boy, having just emigrated with his family from England. He spent a lot of time in the water surfing before picking up a camera at the age of 19 with the idea to photograph surfing. But he soon found himself encountering the ocean with no surfers out, so naturally began capturing the sea in its different moods. “I wanted to communicate this world I was intimate with. It’s hard to understand it, if you’re not out there, once you step through that portal, you are in a different world,” Frank said. Frank has gone on to delight audiences with his amazing imagery of surfers across the pages of surfing magazines, won awards, and shared his photography and cinematography internationally; recently as photographic director on The Reef. He has put together a series of moody, meaningful images all shot locally for his latest exhibition Seascapes, which opened on the weekend at Geelong Gallery. His moments in time balance the raw majesty of being alone in the ocean, with the social dynamics of a busy beach on a hot summer’s day. Frank said that as each of us have different experiences of the water, he feels the contrasting images work together well. “I think it’s good for people to think, and see how images affect them. That’s a unique reflection of their life and life’s experiences. You can’t help wanting to communicate something, but I’m reluctant to push an agenda.” The evening ocean shots were captured at water level while the candid portraits of bathers capture fleeting moments. “The portraits expose in tremendous clarity our secret vulnerabilities. They reflect on how lonely our journey through this solitary world can feel when surrounded by crowds of people. When compared to the grand indifference of nature, our lives seem so fleeting and fragile. “This is where I live, and where I paddle out, so it’s a bit personal. “I still love the feeling of paddling into a wave, there’s something exciting about it. “Photographing water and waves is continually exciting to me, it’s an ongoing thing. “You sacrifice riding waves to pick up the camera, but the joy you get, that’s the payback.

“This exhibition I am excited about, it’s a stunning gallery, in a beautiful old building, it’s second to none.” Seascapes by Jon Frank at the Geelong Gallery, open daily on Little Malop Street, Geelong 10am5pm – entry is free. Exhibition runs until July 14. TOP: Untitled (Seascape #1 2010) was captured on dusk from the water by Surf Coast artist Jon Frank.

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

JON HELMER

Girls just wanna make wine WINE and women, sounds like a good combination to me, and I’ve noticed quite a bit of attention and focus of late pertaining to the increasing involvement of women in the wine industry, which can only be a positive in my book. Recent features like the “Women in Wine” event by Wine Australia and the all female “Wine, Women and Shoes” tastings organised by the female-targeted website “The Fabulous Ladies Wine Society” have been instrumental in highlighting the significant contributions that women are making in the wine industry. Famous industry stalwarts like Louisa Rose of Yalumba and Sue Hodder of Wynns immediately spring to mind as both have amazing winemaking credentials and kudos, however, I thought I’d feature some up and coming names maybe not so familiar to people. I recently had the good fortune of tasting some really interesting wines from two highly regarded South Australian winemakers – “Alta” wines by Sarah Fletcher, and “Ulithorne” wines by Rose Kentish. I met Sarah whilst “on tour” in the beautiful Adelaide Hills recently, where she took our small party of industry folk through her new release Alta wines (the setting was almost surreal – perfect sunny blue sky, not a breath of wind, all set in a small rustic stone courtyard framed with autumn vine leaves). Her obvious passion for winemaking, the Adelaide Hills region and the just completed 2013 harvest was infectious. Her background in winemaking shows 28 vintages under her belt including a seven-year stint at Orlando Wyndham wines until the opportunity presented to work at Alta Vineyards. Her wines are light, well-structured and elegant, with defining purity and precision. I’ve featured Rose Kentish from Ulithorne wines in McLaren Vale before and trying her latest batch of McLaren Vale and French/Corsican wines reminded me just what a talent she is. Again, like Sarah, Rose’s wines show purity, balance and a certain feminine finesse, so here’s to the ladies…cheers!

rich, textured Gris style. This awesome 2012 vintage shows fantastic Adelaide Hills cool climate fruit purity, liveliness and, true to her style, elegance, precision and balance. This is a terrific wine and one well worth your attention.

Ulithorne ‘‘Immortelle’’ Corsican Red Blend 2011 ($39) Having already successfully produced wines from the French island of Corsica, Rose has returned to “the island” and this time brings back a red wine using indigenous Corsican grape varieties – Minustellu, Niellucciu, Carcaghjolo Neru (don’t ask me to pronounce these!), and Syrah. It’s rich and spicy with a lingering savouriness that makes you go back again and again for another glass. Named “Immortelle” in reference to the name of the yellow flower that grows wild through the mountains of Corsica (known here as everlasting). Delicious and intriguing to say the least.

Martians Café in Deans Marsh will host Lily and the Drum and their diverse and raw melodies at on June 8.

Lily drums up a distinctive sound GROOVY and eclectic South Australian roots duo Lily and the Drum are heading to Martians Café on June 8 to share their unique brand of retro contemporary tunes. Vocalist and guitarist Lily unites with John, known as The Drum on percussion, harmonica and backing vocals to create something a little left of centre that’s a whole lot of fun. Their music revolves around strong guitar rhythms and melody lines with the drums and percussion providing the underlying groove. “It’s about the undeniable quality and sound produced from humans using real instruments,” they said. They are committed to performing honest,

Alta Adelaide Hills Pinot Grigio 2012 ($22) Sarah Fletcher subscribes to the north east Italian style of Grigio whereby the grapes are picked much earlier and see no oak, resulting in a wine with much more vibrancy, zest and fresh aromatics rather than the

heartfelt and real music without using technology to create their sound, winning them a strong following all over the country. They said releasing a live EP and debut album and touring tirelessly for the past year has been a thrilling ride. “It’s been a little mad really but we’re having so much fun playing and the gigs keep coming up, may as well keep going until someone tells us to stop!” “We like to encourage people to dance along where ever possible.” Lily and the Drum will be performing their original songs and some rock, blues funk and soul covers at Martian’s Café in Deans Marsh on Saturday June 8, for more information call 5236 3350.

Imogen to star at Celtic festival BY TIFFANY PILCHER

GEELONG’S most famous Celtic songstress Imogen Brough may not have made it all the way on television talent show The Voice, but their loss is the National Celtic Festival’s gain with Brough set to perform there over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Brough was an early favourite on the hit show with all four judges vying to have her on their team, she worked with Ricky Martin for several weeks before bowing out of the competition earlier this month. Festival director Una McAlinden said she was thrilled to find Brough had applied prior to finding fame on television. “I saw her application at the beginning of February but didn’t put two and two together when I saw her on The Voice. “I was watching her wondering if we could get her out here for the festival then I came across the application again and it clicked – that’s when I got really excited.” Ms McAlinden said while it’s a

shame Brough isn’t on the show anymore, she now has the opportunity to take her career in any direction she chooses. “Hopefully we can help her take her career to the next stage now, she’ll be mixing with artists from all over the world and who knows who’ll she’ll meet or what opportunities might open up to her from there.” Through the recent nationwide exposure Brough has acquired a legion of fans and is sure to bring a new audience to the festival with her contemporary take on Celtic music. “Celtic music is a real mix, there are so many Celtic countries and they all have different styles,” Ms McAlinden said. “Even within each country there is such a broad range of styles so this is a wonderful chance to expose the different facets of Celtic music to more people.” Further information and tickets are available from nationalcelticfestival. com. The festival will be held from June 7 to 10 in Portarlington.

Our beautiful coastline in many moods BY ALI DEANE BELLARINE photographer Tim Pescott’s love of the area shines through naturally in each image he captures. The award-winning photographer is renowned for his imagery of jetties, piers, boats and beaches and has compiled an exhibition of his latest and best work for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in St Leonards. “I love to shoot at first light, I get up when it’s dark. Dawn is definitely my favourite time,” Pescott said. “I live in Clifton Springs. I’ve always loved the area and I wanted to create images for myself, and for other people to keep as well.” Pescott’s upcoming exhibition will feature the many different moods of our beautiful coastal waterways from Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula towns to the ocean beaches of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. He has spent many hours behind the lens of late, capturing moments from the start of summer until now. “I’ve been shooting for well over 12 years now, my favourite spots would have to be Point Lonsdale and around Indented Head. And I would like to take some more surf shots around Thirteenth Beach. “I’ve put together something different for this show; there are the latest ones and a collection of shots over the entire time I’ve been photographing.” The exhibition will feature framed and unframed photographs and prints on canvas as well as Pescott’s popular cards. Head to St Leonards Community Space, corner Murradoc and Blanche streets, St Leonards (behind Neville Richards Real Estate) on Queen’s Birthday long weekend (June 8, 9 and 10) from 9am to 5pm.

Stockdale’s Keep Moving tour hits Geelong BY ALI DEANE

Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale is excited to be hitting the road with his new band in tow to spread the vibes from Keep Moving, his latest. Stockdale sets down in Geelong this June.

WOLFMOTHER frontman Andrew Stockdale can’t write at a table, doesn’t like to plan far ahead, and only shares a bill with artists he digs. Three years, a lot of jamming in his Byron Bay shed and studio, and many words written on the road has resulted in a new EP, an album, and a national tour with Melbourne rockers The Delta Riggs and the Bob Harrow band this June. Wolfmother is not dead, just realigned with band members joining this tour and performing a lot of old hits as well as Stockdale’s new material. In between getting the band tight for the Keep Moving tour, Stockdale took the time to sit down with the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times and his excitement for the future was flowing. “I’m just going back to where I

started, we’re at ground level, it’s a whole new path, we’re getting a lot of positivity, and it’s really exciting.” It’s been a journey to get where he is now, off the back of a magical era of Wolfmother but Stockdale is centred, and enjoying the free form of living, writing and recording. “I try to avoid anything that looks like an office, but I’ve always got a pen and notebook, and if I’m anywhere, anytime, I try to write lyrics down. I’m just making it up, it’s a free form of living, and it’s such a good feeling.” Touring and travelling also strike a chord with the front man who oozes 70s-rock style with a modern edge. He is not long returned from playing to 50,000 fans in Belgium and festivals across Europe. “I’m ready for it. I’m glad, and I’m up for anything. You’ve got to be. “We’ll see how we go, and we’ll find out when we get there.

“Hopefully people will love it. “I’m looking forward to playing this tour, I wanted to make it something I’d want to go to, so it’s the whole night, you see the first band and then get into the vibe.” Following a month on the road around our sunburnt country, Stockdale and his band will hit the US, Japan, Europe, South America and Southeast Asia for their international tour. Outside of hitting Geelong at the Wool Exchange on Saturday June 15, Stockdale said he was really looking forward to touching down in Sydney, returning to the birthplace of Wolfmother, home to memories of the dreams of playing big venues and making it. Keep an eye out for the release of Keep Moving the album on June 7 through Universal Music. For tickets head to The Wool Exchange or oztix.com.au.

Farewell the enchantment of Possum Magic THE enchanting stage adaptation of much-loved loved childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic Possum Magic is returning to Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) for the final time. The book has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of children for 30 years and has been brought to life on the stage for more than 20 years. Possum Magic tells the story of Grandma Poss who made bush magic, turning wombats blue and kookaburras pink, making dingos smile and emus shrink, but the best magic of all was the Possum Magic that made Baby Hush invisible. First published in 1983, Mem Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Possum Magic was an instant success and in 1990 the musical stage adaptation made its world premiere which sold out before it opened. Since then Possum Magic has become firmly established as the most successful musical for children and families ever. The show is part of GPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Magic program and filled with charm and humour, captivating audiences of children and adults in the same way the book has for generations. The Possum Magic farewell tour will come to the Playhouse Theatre for two performances only on

The musical stage adaptation of the treasured book Possum Magic is set to delight the children of Geelong for the last time.

NILAJA Sun will be bringing a mesmerising solo show that explores the public school education scene to Geelong for a special one-off performance. Following its popular, extended season in Melbourne, sit back and be entertained by No Child as Ms Sun switches between an array of characters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; teachers, parents, security guards, administrators and students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sketching out a quirky and dysfunctional school system. Sun spent years teaching in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest schools, and this thought-provoking production tells the story of a drama teacher who struggles to teach students who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a future other than dropping out, getting pregnant or in jail. The Theatreworks production, directed by Hal Brooks comes to GPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama theatre Friday May 31 at 7pm. Tickets ($35) are available from GPAC box office on 5225 1200 or online at gpac.org.au â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not suitable for children under 12 due to strong language.

Special occasion and events

OUR father had (and still has) a thousand ditties up his sleeve. This one would be rolled out whenever the aforementioned vegetables were served at the dinner table: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Russell shouts for Brussels sprouts Sister Jeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always eating beans And little brother leeksâ&#x20AC;?. In particular the rhyme was used as a distracting tactic when the Brussels sprouts were served. Like many, I did not particularly like the taste of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mini green cabbage.â&#x20AC;? I now adore them and the following is my best ever Brussels sprouts recipe to accompany slow cooked lamb or a beef ragout. Boil 500 grams of Brussels sprouts in salted water for five minutes, drain and halve when cool enough. In a fry pan heat some extra virgin olive oil and butter. Add chopped French shallots and Istra pancetta roughly chopped. After a couple of minutes, add halved Brussels sprouts cut side down and in 10 minutes they should have a beautiful caramelised colour. Turn and add half a cup of cream. Reduce until cream is thick and serve immediately. Beans are a no brainer. Everyone like beans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they? As was the way in the 1960s we were often served them sliced into very thin pieces using a beans slicer and stringer. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that particular kitchen utensil now. No doubt when Jamie Oliver or Shannon Bennett â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoversâ&#x20AC;? the method, we will again be eating sliced beans. My mother would cook them well in salted water, add butter and serve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were delicious. Another way of cooking green beans is to slow cook the Turkish or Greek way. This type of cooking is ancient but has found a new vibrancy in London under chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi. The beans dissolve in your mouth and the Meredith Goats Yoghurt provides a silky smooth finish. Place 1kg green beans, one red chopped red onion, two chopped tomatoes, 125ml extra virgin olive oil, juice of one lemon, and two cloves minced garlic in a saucepan. Season and add 150ml water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 1 hour. Taste, re-season if necessary. Turn off heat and rest for 15 minutes. Serve with generous helpings of Meredith Goats Yoghurt. Leeks are one of my favourite vegetables. They are delicious in soups, savoury tarts and as a main course by themselves. I have been making this potato and leek soup forever. Melt a couple of generous spoons of butter in a large saucepan. Add four chopped (and thoroughly washed) leeks, one kilo of potatoes, half a cup of chopped French shallots and two cloves minced garlic with some fresh thyme leaves. Cook gently for 15 minutes on low heat (do not colour the vegetables). Add chicken stock to just cover the vegetables, simmer until potatoes are cooked. Remove from heat, cool slightly and blend in a food processor until smooth. Season and serve with cream, fried leek and a squeeze of lemon. As my father would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stickâ&#x20AC;?.

A night for wine lovers at the Torquay Hotel BY HAMISH BROOKS ONE of the finer nights of the year at Torquay Hotel is fast approaching, with a special dinner with matching wines planned for early June. Over five courses and five matching wines – a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre and two Shiraz vintages – attendees will get to know the variety of wine that comes out of McLaren Vale in South Australia from Cape Barren winery. The wines will be matched with the best local seasonal produce the region has to offer. On top of this, Cape Barren winemaker Rob Dundon, who purchased the winery with good friend and viticulturist Tom Adams in 2010, is flying in for the night to elaborate on the flavours and complexities attendees will be experiencing in the wines. On a recent trip to the winery, Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times wine columnist Jon Helmer observed that both Rob and Tom had a “hankering to ‘do it all again’ and do it their way with old unirrigated/pesticide free vines a key to their wine’s success, ‘allowing the quality and complexity of the fruit to shine’”. “Rob’s a serious winemaker,” wrote Jon. “The wines really beg your attention – they’re that

good! The labelling is also eye catching so keep your eyes peeled!” One of the organisers of the night is wine representative Terry Goldsworthy. He is a Torquay local and veteran of many wine dinners along the coast and says one of the wines featured at the Torquay dinner, the Cape Barren Old Vine Shiraz, is one of the finest he has ever tasted. “The first time I tried it I had to ask if it came from the Mediterranean it was that fine and supple.” The grapes for the wine are sourced from vines planted 120 years ago and picked on the same day (May 18) every year. Numbers for the dinner will be capped at 40 ensuring an intimate night for patrons keen to appreciate the different flavours on offer. The five course dinner with matching wines is Thursday June 6 at 6.30pm. Cost is $70 for individuals or $250 for four people. The dinner is on the eve of the invite-only opening of the wine-bar style Bells Bar at the Torquay Hotel, which will be an intimate and classy addition to the epicurean scene on the Surf Coast and which will open to the public on the Saturday night. To reserve your place at the wine night on Thursday June 6 at 6.30pm, call 5261 2001.

Have some of your Capricorn dreams been put on hold? Serious Saturn your ruling planet is urging you to take a long hard look at your aspirations for the future, and then revise them to better suit your current circumstances. When it comes to a difficult domestic situation – if you keep doing what you’re doing; you’ll just keep getting what you’re getting!

Hold onto your seat Rams! Uranus is sending disruptions in your direction and at the same time Pluto demands that you shed your old skin and start afresh. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Bob Dylan “There is nothing so stable as change.” Saturday’s lunar eclipse gets your enthusiasm firing, but avoid blurting out something that you later regret.

Avoid the temptation to fly off the handle this week Crabs. If you try to control or manipulate others, then you’re in for a tumultuous and tense time. Uranus and Pluto are pushing you to let go of old ways of behaving, as you transform your relationships at home and work from the inside out. Your fertile imagination is firing, so put it to use via a challenging creative project.

If you stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone, you’ll have an eventful week full of exciting adventures. Serious Saturn is asking you to make some firm financial decisions so don’t waste precious time dithering around and being indecisive. Close personal relationships are in for a major shake-up, as Uranus and Pluto redefine what family life really means to you.

With five planets including Venus and the lunar eclipse lighting up your money zones, you’ve got an urge to splurge. But don’t let a persuasive friend talk you into buying something you really can’t afford. Loved ones will overwhelm you, if you let them. Mighty Mars is marching through your sign, so it’s time for Bulls to be bold and show others who’s the boss!

Lions – when it comes to work, the more proactive you are, the more successful you’ll be. Influential people are waiting to help you – all you have to do is swallow your pride and ask. The lunar eclipse energises your entertainment zone, so it’s a wonderful weekend to party, go to a concert or entertain at home. But be careful you’re not being elastic with the truth.

Problems you had last June or September may rise to the surface, as Uranus and Pluto square up again. Your natural inclination is to maintain the status quo. But, if you resist change, you’ll just aggravate and prolong an unsatisfactory situation. Plus possessive behaviour will get you nowhere fast. Seems it’s time for stubborn Scorpios to let go, and then move on.

Are you bored to bits? Powerful Pluto demands that you make important adjustments in your life, but they won’t be the changes you want or expect. So strive to approach the future with an open mind and an adventurous Aquarian spirit. There could be a few fireworks with a family member on Friday, so edit what comes out of your mouth and tread carefully.

Relationships take centre stage this week, as the lunar eclipse shines a bright spotlight on partnerships. With no less than four planets powering through your sign, you’re keen to express yourself and have your needs met. But what about the significant others in your life? Balance and compromise are the keys, as you strive to find a happy medium between giving and taking.

The lunar eclipse, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all activating your career zone so you’re pumped up for professional success. But don’t try to re-invent the wheel Virgo! Instead, follow in the footsteps of successful predecessors. Plus approach old problems in creative new ways, and don’t spend so much time worrying about work that you lose motivation and momentum.

With five planets firing up your relationship zone this week, it’s time to bite the bullet and patch up old partnership problems. Single Sagittarians – look for love with someone who is smart, sexy and spontaneous. Saturday’s lunar eclipse lights up your sign, which magnifies your positive and negative traits. So strive to be wise and witty, rather than bossy and boisterous.

Attention Fish, are you stuck in the middle of a financial fiasco? With Uranus and Pluto stirring up your money zone, the situation isn’t likely to improve quickly. You’ll just have to be a patient and pragmatic Piscean. Your imagination is firing on Sunday but don’t get carried away with ideas that have no basis in reality. Take the time to separate fact from fiction.

Bats about insects and hollows BY JAMES TAYLOR MICROBATS are fattening up to get through the winter months, and Surf Coast and Bellarine residents have been given advice on how to keep them from hibernating in roofs and walls. The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife’s Backyard Buddies program has suggested people can create nest boxes for the microbats, which make up a fifth of all Australian mammals. The smallest microbat weighs only three grams – about the same as a single serve sugar sachet or a single A4 sheet of paper. If the bats cannot find a suitable hollow, they can slip into gaps as small as 5 millimetres. Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife chief executive officer Susanna Bradshaw said many of the species were hollow-dependent, which meant they lived during daylight hours inside the hollows of trees or branches. “Competition from birds, possums and gliders, along with the clearing of many old trees, means that microbats may find the roof or walls of your home the perfect roosting place.” In Australia, microbat babies are born in late spring and remain with their mothers until the end of January. Gentle autumn eviction attempts should be made before June to make certain that the young were independent. “Torquay microbats are fully protected which

might raise the issue of offences and penalties if any are in fact harmed,” Ms Bradshaw said. Residents who want microbats out of their walls should provide an alternative outside roost site, such as a nest box. “Then, if done correctly, your walls can become bat-free and the little bats will happily stick around your backyard to go about their insect eating work, which is of great benefit to all of us.” For more information, head to backyardbuddies. net.au.

SCEG calls for end to pollution subsidies BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Energy Group (SCEG) has backed a campaign to end government support for highpolluting industries. The community group held the first screening of its 2013 film season earlier this month and showed their support for the Paid To Pollute campaign with a mock cancelled cheque for $65 million – representing the average amount of taxpayer-funded subsidies paid in each electorate. SCEG member Jill Hyslop said the federal government spent more than $10 billion a year as handouts to big polluters in the form of subsidies, cash, tax breaks and infrastructure. “These handouts make fossil fuels artificially cheap, so companies use more fossil fuels than they would with a level playing field, creating more pollution, blocking clean energy projects and fuelling the threat of climate change to all Australians. “We can cut pollution, unlock clean energy and protect our environment for all Australians – if we

end polluter handouts.” Paid To Pollute is supported by several conservation and environment groups, including Environment Victoria, the Australian Conservation Foundation and Greenpeace. According to the campaign, cheaper fuel for large mining companies costs $2 billion a year, free carbon permits to Australia’s dirtiest coal-fired power stations costs $4 billion over the next four years, special tax treatment for big oil, coal and gas projects costs more than $3 billion over the next four years and subsidised fuel for airlines costs $3.8 billion over four years. The first film in SCEG’s 2013 film season was Bimblebox, which focuses on the conversion of a nature reserve into an open-cut mine. Ms Hyslop said Australia’s coal exports were also contributing to global production of carbon dioxide. “SCEG believes coal should be the energy source of the past.” The season continues with Anima Mundi at Surf World, Beach Road, Torquay at 7pm on June 7. For more information, head to sceg.org.au.

NOTIFICATION OF SEWERAGE PIPE CONNECTION WORKS The Barwon Water Alliance is constructing new water, recycled water, and sewerage infrastructure to service the Armstrong Creek development. We recently completed constructing a sewerage pipeline that will service the eastern precinct of Armstrong Creek. Works to connect the sewerage pipeline to the main sewerage pipeline will take place over the coming month. The work site is next to Harvey Avenue, north of Warralily Boulevard. The main sewerage pipeline collects flows from the Geelong region and transfers to the Black Rock water reclamation plant. As part of this work please note: â&#x20AC;˘ There may be odour around the work site. â&#x20AC;˘ We will monitor the odour levels and will take wind direction into consideration. â&#x20AC;˘ Lights will be set up to assist with working at night. â&#x20AC;˘ There will be no disruption to services. We expect works to be completed by early June, 2013. If you would like more information regarding this work, please contact the Barwon Water Alliance on 1300 656 007.

Records made at Great Ocean Marathon BY ALI DEANE

RETURNING and first time challengers took on the Great Ocean Road International Marathon Festival over the weekend which saw record fields. Over 5,700 competitors took on six events over the two days with athletes travelling from 21 countries. The signature 45 kilometre ultra marathon from Lorne to Apollo Bay saw an exciting battle between Kenyan compatriots Joel Chepkopol and Philip Kigen on Sunday, with Chepkopol the victor with a time of 2:27.50. Favourite James Kipkelwon retained his course record of 2:27.42, but could not get the hat trick, having won the past two years, and ran into third spot behind his countrymen. Another exciting duel ensued in the women’s field with Ballarat’s Tracie Kaye fending off early pacesetter and favourite Magda Karimali-Poulos. She took the win in her second ever marathon with a time of 3:08.44, just 17 seconds ahead of Karimali-Poulos. Geelong residents Renee Fuller (10th female)

and Colin Thornton (eighth male), earned trips to the 2013 Senshu Marathon with their impressive performances. In the most popular event, the half marathon from Kennett River to Apollo Bay, 18-year-old Kenyan Festus Talam celebrated a double after also taking out the 14 kilometre race on Saturday. Talum clocked a time of 1:13.12 for the 23 kilometres. The first female across the line was Echuca’s Tarli Bird, who finished ahead of Gemma Kenessy, with times of 1:26.03 and 1:27.39 respectively. Saturday saw Geelong paralympians do damage in the TAC Wheelchair Athletes’ Challenge. Off the back of top-10 finishes in the Los Angeles, London and Seoul marathons in the past two months, Geelong’s Richard Colman clinched his third title, in what was his 17th race this year. The London Paralympic Games gold-medallist said 2012 had been his hardest year in sport, but there were a lot of things he had not done yet. “I would really like to win a major international marathon. “I’m pushing better than I ever have... and I’m really enjoying myself this year,” Colman said.

Colman will now prepare for the World Championships in July in France and the Singapore Marathon in December. Geelong paralympian Jemima Moore made history by becoming the first athlete to win four consecutive titles, when she crossed the line first. Geelong’s Brenton Rowe clinched his first Mizuno six kilometre title, which came down to an exciting sprint finish with Kenyan Festus Talam, who was attempting to win three festival events in one weekend. The six kilometre title went to Melissa Duncan, while in the 14 kilometre, the fastest female was Amelia Aslanides. Saturday also saw over 500 youngsters run the 1.5 kilometre Vetta Pasta Kids’ Gallop. Otway Health was the chief beneficiary of the charity event, with chief executive officer Linda West delighted to see families enjoying themselves. “It’s a real privilege to be part of this event,” she said. “It’s a fabulous spectacle.” For more pictures turn to page81, and for full results, head to surfcoasttimes.com.au.

WELL once again we see illegal activities being carried out in Victorian waters. These people who commit these offences are not recreational fishers, they are members of the public who believe they can do what they like, when they like in our fisheries. They are criminals stealing from all who legally fish in Victorian waters. Recently, fisheries officers successfully apprehended four alleged abalone thieves from Yarraville and Sunshine West after a sophisticated surveillance operation. Melbourne-based regional fisheries officer Dane Robinson led the operation, involving officers at the Metro, Geelong, Cowes, and Mornington stations, which detected the men during a three-day operation at Williamstown to enforce strict abalone fishing regulations. It will be alleged that the four men attempted to disguise the frequency of their visits to the dive site by using a number of different vehicles and changes of clothing to evade detection. Fisheries officers used a range of sophisticated surveillance techniques to collect evidence of the alleged illegal activity. Late on a Friday evening, four search warrants were obtained from an afterhours magistrate in readiness for the planned apprehension of the four men. On the third day of the operation, two of the men were arrested at their vehicle and a short time later all four search warrants were executed with the assistance of Victoria Police. In total, 424 abalone (either in frozen or fresh form) were recovered from the four addresses. Two vehicles were seized along with a large amount of diving equipment. Three of the men were interviewed that evening and all four offenders will

be charged on summons with a range of offences, including possession of a commercial quantity of abalone, taking or possessing more than twice the legal catch of abalone, using and possessing commercial fishing equipment and taking undersized abalone. Fisheries Victoria executive director Anthony Hurst said the officers carried out a well-planned and executed operation to overcome the challenge of long days and sophisticated antisurveillance techniques. “Abalone are a legislated priority fish species in Victoria, and are afforded considerable protection due to their significant commercial value to Victoria,” Mr Hurst said. A licenced recreational diver may take and possess only five abalone on any of the 60 open days each year in Victoria. “Abalone trafficking is a serious indictable offence punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and forfeiture of vehicles and equipment used in the offence. “The alleged actions of this syndicate are potentially damaging to the Port Phillip Bay abalone fishery and the legitimate commercial fishing industry and recreational fishing. “We will continue to focus our efforts on disrupting and dismantling organised fisheries criminal activity.” A reminder that anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity is urged to contact the 24-hour fisheries offence reporting line 13 FISH on 13 34 74.

Tuesday 21 May 2013

WINTER competition play is now well under way in the Tennis Geelong competition. Eleven sections of seniors and 16 sections of juniors are participating and four rounds have been completed. The Tennis Geelong ladies midweek competition is approaching finals time, with the first finals match set down for Tuesday May 28. Couch potatoes and tennis fans (those with pay television anyway) can look forward to the next three months of tennis action from the northern hemisphere, with the French Open starting tomorrow, followed by Wimbledon in June and then it’s the US Open in August. Aussie hopefuls in the French include Sam Stosur, with a chance to go one better than her runner-up finish a couple of years back. Doubles and mixed doubles specialist Casey Dellacqua has already tasted major success and could be a good chance to do so again. Back on the home front, the sixth Racquet Works junior masters for 2013 was held last Sunday at Geelong Lawn. Next is Centre Court on Friday July 12 and finally, Grovedale on Sunday 22 September. Aspiring junior masters, please take note. In next month’s “Tennis In Geelong”, there will be an item on racquets and stringing, with some expert advice from those in the know. Contact phil.hunt@moolaptc. org if you have any ideas for this column.

Centre court indoor, where it’s always fair weather! St. Mary’s new home ICONIC tennis club St Mary’s will very soon re-locate with new courts and clubrooms. Construction of four new courts (two plexi, two modgrass) at Thomson Reserve is close to completion and should soon be ready (see picture above). Founded way back in 1921, St Mary’s will be moving from its long-established site at the rear of St Mary’s primary school in Myers Street, Geelong. Those courts will be demolished to make way for residential properties, although the club is still using the courts and clubrooms until the new facility is up and running. Club secretary Anthony Smith, with over 40 years of service to the club, is a bit sad to see the old courts and clubrooms go, but is equally optimistic about the new venue. “The new courts should be great – and we are looking to get court lighting at some stage as well,” he said. “We’re also seeking a club coach for when we start at Thomson”. Enquiries re the coaching position can be addressed to Ross Le Clerc, 0409 185 438. When things are ready to go at Thomson, there’ll be a court opening ceremony to officially launch the new St Mary’s. Best of luck in your brand new home!

IT’S a hive of activity out there at North Geelong’s Centre Court Indoor Tennis Centre, where you’ll find the very best players in the region rubbing shoulders with everyone from learners, juniors, adults and veteran players who attend the centre for pennant and social play, coaching, clinics and cardio tennis – seven days a week too – that’s a lot of tennis! The centre started in 1989 with the current owners, the Hicks family (David, Kathy and Matthew) being involved since 1994. “We spend a lot of time here,” David said. “Tennis is our passion and our business and we are sometimes here until all hours, but it’s great fun too. “There’s tennis here for all levels as well as the increasingly popular cardio tennis” (see picture, top right). “Tennis in Geelong” editor Phil Hunt went along recently to have a go at an adult tennis clinic, conducted by David Hicks. “It was great,” Phil said. “We went through just about every facet of the game – three days in a row and two hours at a time, so it really tested the fitness. I’m hoping to do the next one too!” (see picture, bottom right, David, Mari-Anne and Phil). Clinics are conducted during school holidays, for adults and for juniors and there’s another one coming up on July 10, 11 and 12 (see centre picture, junior clinic class). Then there’s ladies beginners coaching and pennant, competition for seniors and veterans, high and lower standard, mixed social play – just about anything tennis-related and it’s catered for at Centre Court! Coaching is available one on one or in groups and that’s for juniors and seniors, anyone! Centre Court Indoor Tennis Centre is without doubt the most vibrant place for tennis in the region, a tennis lover’s mecca, where the weather is never a factor and the playing surface is, well, just fantastic! “I love the indoor tennis,” Phil, a Clifton Springs resident, said. “If I lived on this side of town I’d spend half my life here!” The centre is located in Hepner Place, North Geelong, just up from the Sphinx Hotel. Check out their website on geelongindoortennis.com.au or call the centre on 5272 1760. *Cardio Tennis is essentially a fitness class that also incorporates tennis skills, for all levels, with a duration of one hour.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB SADLY this week two of our longstanding members passed away. Helen Tyson passed away earlier this month having been a member of the club for over twenty years and a Thursday regular until very recently. Helen was a cooking demonstrator for the SEC for many years and her fruitcakes were sought after in the raffle prizes. She had beautiful send off at the club on Friday afternoon. Dorothy Lewtas, a member for 46 years, and mother of Ian and Geoff, also passed away last week. Condolences are extended to both their families. The weather thankfully cleared up for pennant on Friday this week. Division 2 was played at Barwon Heads.The firsts won against Lonsdale 2 3/2 and the seconds were defeated 5/0 by Lonsdale 1. Division 4 had a win against Colac 1 3/2 at Curlewis and the Division 6 team had their bye. On Sunday, our ladies played at 13th Beach and were defeated 4/1 by Torquay.

rain making the course almost unplayable. A few hearty souls who didn’t have anything better to do managed 9 holes and the matchplay semi finalists were forced out on the course. The final will be played this week and hopefully they won’t need their umbrellas.

WEEKEND RESULTS

The weather wasn’t good for the men on Wednesday but not bad enough to take a break. The field was a little smaller than normal, but they had enough to award their Wednesday medal. Winner of the medal was Director Ian Burges with a round of nett 72 winning C Grade. Other winners were Wayne Pipe in A grade with nett 74 and Peter Jackson in B Grade with nett 75. NTP winners were Peter Calvert, Graeme Mills, Ron Evans and Greg Davis. The ladies weren’t so lucky on Thursday with the

Saturday was sorry golf with the foursomes championships. Claire Brennan and Ann Stokes were a formidable combination in the ladies scoring nett 76, well ahead of the rest of the field. It was a little closer in the mens with Graham Rees and Ray Shaw winning with nett 73.5 and Peter Wanless and David Griffiths runners up with nett 74.5. NTP winners were Janice Pekin, Tim Walker, Peter Caulfield and Peter Richardson. Sunday was the best day of the week for golf. Maryanne Frauenfelder won the ladies event with 2 down, and Jackie Pearce was runner up with 4 down. Winners in the mens grades were Tony Leeds in A Grade with 3 up, Phillip Ohlsen in B Grade with square, and Bernie Stokes in C Grade with 1 up. For those that enjoyed the foursomes competition this weekend and are still on speaking terms with their partners, we have a two person Ambrose event coming up on June 15. This is a change to the syllabus as a result of the CFA Day being cancelled. And if you weren’t worthy of your partner this weekend maybe this is an opportunity to kiss and make up! Enjoy your golf.

LAST Friday was a nice day for a stroll around the golf course. A gentle breeze and a little sunshine and a few good shots made it all the more pleasant. I enjoyed the walk and the course was in great condition. I wasn’t alone though. The ladies were completing their pennant round. They were there to represent their respective clubs and do their best but what really gained my attention was the support that these players received. There was a gallery of about forty women following their preferred players. They were there to see good golf and perhaps pick up a few clues on how they might improve their course management when they next played. It’s great to see such support and interest being shown. Congratulations to the men who played and won the Winchelsea Golf Club Shield. Sorry we couldn’t get you back home without a little inconvenience!

Ringrose secures state title BY ALI DEANE FORMER World Tour surfer Glyndyn Ringrose has taken out the Victorian State Title months ahead of the third and final event, after backing up his first round win with another victory on the weekend on home turf. The Phillip Island goofy-footer tore apart the challenging conditions at Woolamai beach to post a two wave total of 15.5 (out of a possible 20) in the Phillip Island Open Titles final. He relegated standout surfer Ocean Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh

Johnson Baxter to second position with a combined score of 13.07. The 41 year-old said he was really happy to have won the Open State Title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I won my first Open State Title over fifteen years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good to get another under my belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel really privileged to be able to compete at this level and am really appreciative of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support.â&#x20AC;? Third place went to Bells Beach surfer Tom Allan who posted 10.90, and Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caiden Fowler

finished fourth with 7.77. The girls also revelled in the solid 3-4 foot waves, providing some of the closest and most exciting heats of the day. But the race for the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Title is still on, after first round winner Kelly Laity failed to make the final at Phillip Island. Georgia Fish (Flinders) demonstrated her World Qualifying Series experience with a come from behind victory over young Phillip Island local Courtney Dunlop. Dunlop opened the twenty minute final with the

highest single wave score, a 7.0 (out of a possible 10), but could not find another high scoring wave to close the door on Fish. Fish secured a two wave total of 12.50 to take victory over Dunlop (9.67). Third place was Matilda McLellan (Flinders, 5.70) and Point Lonsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sapphire Main surfed her way into fourth. The final event of the Toll IPEC Open Series, the West Coast Open Titles is set for Torquay in September. For full results head to surfingvic.com.

Tuesday 21 May 2013

Coasters show respect ANOTHER beautiful late autumn weekend brought more quality football to Surf Coast Football Club’s home ground this round, with the standard of play from teams rising week by week. Sunday was a feast of football with the women’s, girls’ and boys’ teams on the state-ofthe-art artificial pitch. The under 14s metro boys kicked off just after midday and, after an initial period of end to end play, the Coasters soon had the opposition pinned in their defensive half. A couple of goals brought some real confidence, and then it was party time as the boys knocked the ball all round the park in a great display, with 4-0 the eventual result. In the under 15s metro competition the boys took on the rapidly rising Point Cook Club. Overcoming a shaky start, the boys got started to generally hold sway, and put goals

into the back of the net. Point Cook rose to the challenge on occasion but the Surf Coast’s strength of the defence, midfield creativity and firepower upfront was too much for the opposition, with 4-2 the final result. Finally, the Surf Coast women took centre stage, and it was a goal fest to the Coasters. The women played some great football, scoring 12 goals. However, at the end of the match the ultimate compliment was paid to the women’s team by the opposition who were thrashed on the day. “You have a very good team,” the opposing coach said. “And we enjoyed ourselves a lot because you still showed us decency and respect.”

One of Surf Coast Football Club’s young guns, Jack Banks shows his intensity.
