FREE WEEKL WEEKLY

The Handbury Classic proved a hit with the local community, with more than 80 people taking to the golf course and 150 attending the charity luncheon last Friday. The day was a major fundraiser for equine therapy charity, Rainbow Riders. Star attractions of the day were Brian Nankervis (left) and Lucas Parsons. Nankervis, from SBS television show RocKwiz, kept the crowd entertained during the luncheon while former professional golfer and MasterChef contestant, Parsons, whipped up a special dessert. The day raised $25,000 for Rainbow Riders.

VCAT BOUND Disgruntled Jan Juc residents planning VCAT date with council over special charge scheme

BY NATHAN HALE

JAN JUC residents are set to take Surf Coast Shire to VCAT in a bid to overturn the controversial pathways special charge scheme.

In a scathing attack on the shire, Concerned Residents Against Pathways Scheme spokesperson, Steve Burton, said residents were sick of being treated with contempt by council.

“We think this is the logical avenue to follow,” Burton said.

“There are no cast-iron guarantees with these things… that was proven with council’s community consultation process.

“We thought we would have had a pretty good chance with the consultation, but for some reason

Surf Forecast

900 people objecting to the special charge scheme didn’t seem to do anything.

“It seemed as though council had already made up its mind about doing the north-south footpaths anyway. We made it quite clear that we didn’t want the scheme but they have gone ahead regardless.”

The residents group has until the end of the month to lodge its application to VCAT, which Burton said would then be heard around September.

In just two weeks the group has already gained the support of 40 residents who will contribute to the cost of the appeal, and Burton is encouraging more people to throw their weight behind the push.

“We called together all the people who were involved in the doorknocking campaign and we had a meeting to decide to put together the VCAT

application,” he said.

“People can go to VCAT individually but we just think it is a lot more manageable as a group. We have a lady on board who is a solicitor in Melbourne and she will be running the appeal on our behalf.

“We want to give ourselves every possible chance – and we think we have a good case – but you just never know with these type of things.”

Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, said council was duty bound to provide infrastructure for the future.

“Council is working to deliver much-needed community infrastructure and services to meet the needs of a growing community in a financially responsible manner,” Coker said.

“Councillors are accountable to the community –

this is why we are ensuring the safety of Jan Juc pedestrians – particularly for those who are now pushing prams, riding electronic scooters or walking children on roads where motorists are travelling at speed.

“Council has listened to the community on Jan Juc pathways. Through three submission hearings council acknowledged people’s concerns and substantially amended the scheme.

“This was a sensible compromise that resulted in a much improved construction programme, with help from the community.”

Although council accepted an amended recommendation to reduce the network of pathways, and thus the cost to landowners, Burton said the episode highlighted council’s deficiencies.

MAYOR’S COLUMN Transparency on West Coast Business Park applications

LAST week, council convened a special meeting to discuss planning controls at the West Coast Business Park; with a view to ensuring council has the discretion to ensure any planning applications in the park are advertised to the public.

All councillors at the meeting voted to ask the Minister for Planning to urgently remove a planning overlay on the site, the Development Plan Overlay 3, which was intended to guide the way land was sub-divided in the business park.

An unintended consequence of the overlay is that it has the potential to remove council’s right to ensure planning applications are advertised publicly, as per any other planning application in the shire.

This potential undermining of public involvement in the planning process for the West Coast Business Park is an unsatisfactory situation for council.

Through asking the Minister to urgently amend the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme, council is seeking to ensure the community the right to have a voice and make formal objections to any planning application within the industrial estate.

Council Conversations kicks in

Council has held two sessions of its Council Conversations programme as part of the Deans Marsh Pioneer Festival and at the last Cowrie Market until spring in Torquay.

The Torquay Cowrie Market session provided an opportunity to start talking with residents about the Torquay Jan Juc 2040 project. Keep an eye on www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/2040.htm to find out more about this important and project that will provide new ways of managing coastal growth pressures while ensuring we preserve the coastal

environment, way of life and sense of place.

This year, we are aiming to hold Council Conversations sessions at public events. At the end of March, we held a session at the Anglesea Riverbank gathering. This event was a great demonstration of the strength of community groups around Anglesea.

Council will continue to hold Council Conversations sessions, with senior staff and councillors, at public events throughout 2010. The sessions are a great chance to meet councillors and senior staff; and a great chance for councillors and staff to learn more about the issues that are important to you.

Anglesea Bowls Club celebrates 50 years

On the topic of Anglesea’s strong community groups, on Saturday night I was privileged to be invited to the Anglesea Bowls Club’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations.

The club has put forward significant plans for its future and with council only recently taking over management of the club facilities, we have been working with the club on seeking funding for redevelopment of its buildings.

The evening also provided a welcome opportunity to talk with club members about a number of Anglesea projects council is involved in, including the refurbishment of Loveridge Lookout and the uptake of the facilities at the Anglesea Riverbank including the new visitor centre and community meeting space.

Shire lobbies for support

Surf Coast Shire is continuing to step up efforts to lobby for State and Federal Government support in achieving five major priorities throughout the region.

In the environment of growth pressure Surf Coast Shire finds itself in, these projects are all particularly important in preserving our coast, providing new job and growth opportunities and

promoting environmental sustainability.

With the draft Bells Beach Masterplan set to come before council at its ordinary April meeting, funding from both levels of government will be essential in completing capital works that will help us address drainage issues and infrastructure problems caused by increased visitation at the surfing reserve.

These projects are essential in ensuring we can preserve the things we all value about the reserve including views to the surf, the environmental values and the heritage values.

Council is also continuing to lobby for the supply of piped natural gas to Winchelsea, as well as increased resources to help prevent bushfires in our municipality. The cost of preparing Neighbourhood Safer Places on behalf of the State Government this year was particularly significant and council will seek additional support to ensure we can better protect residents and visitors alike.

Council is also seeking support for the development of a transport corridor between Torquay and Armstrong Creek; which would be an important part of providing sustainable transport on the Surf Coast.

Also high on the agenda are the construction of a second storey on the community pavilion at the Community and Civic Precinct, which has been raised by a number of sporting clubs in the municipality. This would make the pavilion at the precinct more useful for clubs and community groups, providing more much needed community space for all Surf Coast residents.

We will continue to work closely with local state and federal representatives on furthering these and other major priorities.

Warm regards, Cr Libby Coker Mayor, Surf Coast Shire

Keep our cyclists safe

BY ALISON MARTIN TORQUAY cyclist, Lorenzo Moro, has questioned the safety of Surf Coast and Bellarine roads for the UCI Championship cyclists who will train in the region later this year.

Moro is a committee member of Bike Safe, a proactive group recently formed by local cyclists passionate about improving road safety and initiating a positive change in cyclist-motorist relationships. “We really need to address some serious concerns we have about the safety of our roads,� he said. “This not only affects recreational and sporting event cyclists but also other major cycling events, commuters and children being encouraged to ride to school.�

The Bike Safe group sent teams of cyclists to audit some of the well-known regional roads with bike lanes or shoulders. In the Surf Coast region these roads included the Great Ocean Road, Anglesea Road, Surf Coast Highway, the Esplanade Torquay and Horseshoe Bend Road.

The cyclists took photos and identified the hazards including loose gravel, debris, glass, potholes, overgrown trees, lane narrowing and unfinished, poor edges breaking away and no signs.

Each hazard was rated from one, indicating it needed work, to five, which was considered potentially life threatening. “Although the audit has not been completed, disturbingly there are already 398 hazards, identified, with 249 rated between three to five.

This report is being forwarded to VicRoads,� Moro said.

Bike Safe has also raised concerns with large rides held in the region including the Great Ocean and Otway Classic Ride involving 3,500 riders;

Torquay Cycling Factory owner and local cyclist, Lorenzo Moro, is backing a Bike Safe initiative to improve safety for all road users in the region.

Photo: ALISON MARTIN

Great Ocean Road Victorian Bike Ride with 5,000 riders; Round the Bay in a Day involving 10,000 riders; and Amy Gillet ride with 2,500 riders – all use most of these roads identified.

Moro said the UCI Championships would require professionals to train and recreational riders to ride on these same roads.

He said the various hazards directly threatened the safety of cyclists and motorists.

Solar Power Installation

“Other initiatives the group has called for are training and touring routes to have signs, roundabouts to have cyclist warning signs, the opening of the road behind the Black Rock treatment plant for cyclists, a mobile phone number to report road hazards, and a ‘Share the Road’ campaign to encourage motorists and cyclists to work together to make roads safer,� he said. “Let’s hope the authorities are listening.�

ANZAC Day services RSL OFFICIALS are expecting another bumper crowd at Torquay’s ANZAC Day ceremony.

This year’s dawn service and march have been planned right down to the smallest detail to ensure its success, according to local RSL president, Norm Brown. “More than 8,000 people including families and young children turned out last year in the early hours to pay their respects to Australians who served in so many conflicts over the years and their families who continue to support them,� he said.

This year the march to the dawn service will begin at 5.45am from the corner of The Esplanade and Price Street and the marchers will arrive at Point Danger for a 6am start to the service.

Buses will ferry people from the car park at Spring Creek Reserve (Torquay Football Ground) to assist those who cannot park closer to Point Danger.

Following the service, people are invited to follow the marchers and join with the veterans at a ‘gunfire breakfast’ and a community breakfast at the approach to Point Danger.

For the first time, Torquay RSL will hold a reunion and short commemoration service at the Torquay Bowls Club for ex-service people and their families and friends, starting at 10.30am.

Meanwhile, ANGLESEA will hold its RSL Service at 9am in Murray Street. The service will be followed by a barbecue.

Council looks for overlay change

INSIDE

SURF Coast Shire councillors last week moved unanimously to ask Minister for Planning, Justin Madden, to remove a Development Plan Overlay on already sub-divided sections of the West Coast Business Park in Torquay.

The present overlay means application for planning permits in the business park do not have to be advertised publicly.

Shire found this an unacceptable situation and held a specially convened meeting last Wednesday to vote on changing the overlay.

The Development Plan Overlay 3 was put in

place to ensure appropriate sub-division of land in the business park.

The Development Plan Overlay was not intended to provide guidance in the assessment of individual applications, but it does have the potential to impact on the process by which applications are publicly advertised.

Mayor, Libby Coker, said it is important that council takes steps to ensure any planning applications lodged for development in the West Coast Business Park go through normal planning procedures. “Council has identified the need to clarify

planning policy that dictates how planning applications for land on the West Coast Business Park are to be advertised and assessed,� Coker said. “This decision will hopefully result in the community being able to have their say through a formal process on any planning application lodged in the West Coast Business Park. “We want to ensure applications are dealt with in a transparent manner. “The removal of the overlay would ensure council has the discretion to decide whether an application should be publically advertised. “The Development Plan Overlay 3 over the West Coast Business Park provided an unintended consequence that removed this discretion from council. “This means the overlay could allow applicants for planning permits to put forward applications that would not be subject to public scrutiny. “This is an unsatisfactory situation for the Surf Coast Shire Council, which is why we have voted to ask the Minister for Planning to fast-track a planning amendment to remove the overlay and correct this issue.�

News in brief A large crowd was on hand for the auction of one of Torquay’s most desirable homes on Saturday – ‘Melaleuca’ at 19 The Esplanade.

Despite its location and attraction, the beachfront property drew just two bidders throughout the auction and was eventually passed in at $1.9million.

Schools for the future

BY NATHAN HALE

SCHOOLS throughout the Surf Coast region are gearing up for the completion of a number of projects under the Building the Education Revolution.

The federal government initiative has ploughed millions of dollars of infrastructure into schools throughout the state.

Torquay’s St Therese Catholic Primary School is looking forward to the opening of two new learning spaces – one a multi-media facility and the other a hall and sport facility. “I am so excited by this‌ it has provided the school with a wonderful opportunity,â€? said St Therese principal, Pauline Audley. “We have been able to design our own building to suit our needs and within three or fours weeks it will all be open. “The pupils can’t wait and the teachers can’t wait – it is an exciting time for the school.â€?

St Therese is one of six Surf Coast schools whose construction programmes are well under way.

Federal member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the projects underline the investment being made by the government. “This is a fantastic outcome for the region’s education system and for the people who work in the Surf Coast Shire’s building and construction industry,� he said. “We have schools like St Therese who will have children in the building in second term, with the school ultimately getting a new learning and resource centre and a new school hall.

Bellbrae Primary School School Pride Funds. $125,000 for school computer upgrade.

Deans Marsh Primary School School Pride Funds. $50,000 stage 1 , School 2020 refurbishment project.

Moriac Primary School School Pride Funds. $155,000 school amphitheatre upgrade.

Mount Duneed Primary School School Pride Funds. $75,000 for flexible teaching and learning spaces.

St Therese Primary School, Torquay School Pride Funds. $1500,000 for upgrade of classrooms, administration area, playground, provision of fencing, shade sails and water tanks.

Torquay (Primary) College School Pride Funds. The $200,000 for the new Environmental Centre is now all expended and the centre is now up and running.

St Therese will be able to use its new multi-media building within the coming months.

Lorne VCAL students Waves wash making a difference troubles away GOING home after work or school each evening for a nice meal can often be taken for granted.

What the majority of us see as an everyday right is a luxury for some.

Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 VCAL students saw first-hand just home much a meal means to some people when they volunteered their time at the Missionaries of Charities in Fitzroy recently.

The students joined sisters from the charity in handing out cutlery and dishing out food to more than 80 men.

For the teenagers, the trip to Melbourne was part of their Social Justice Programme, and while it was a confronting experience, they also found it rewarding.

One student, Daniel Howard-Briggs, sat down and chatted to a few of the men as they ate.

“I had a great chat about Tai Chi. It was quite inspiring,” he said.

“I felt a lot of compassion for the men. I could really connect with what they were going through and how they felt.”

Students followed up their experiences with sessions with Urban Seed, helping them learn about homelessness, addiction and the inner-city issues behind these.

The students are fundraising to take their volunteering

Pictured outside the missionary in Melbourne, which was opened by Mother Theresa 40 years ago, were (back, from left) Daniel Howard-Briggs, Kane Smartt, Tom Steven, Dominic McGuiness, Emilio Graziani; (middle) Cherie Osta (teacher), Sister Jovier, Amanda Atkins; (front) Sean Dombrowski, Red Woolley, and Geoff Bird (teacher).

MORE than 60 youths from disadvantaged backgrounds enjoyed the sun, sand and surf at Go Ride A Wave’s learn to surf day at Anglesea earlier this month.

The annual event was held in conjunction with the 20th Man Fund, whose founder is prominent youth worker, Les Twentyman.

The 20th Man Fund administers youth programmes and services for disadvantaged families and has been operating for more than two decades.

The majority of participants are from broken families, and many are refugees from around the world, with many of them never having been on a beach before.

For teenager, Gum, the experience would have been unimaginable when he was living in a Kenyan refugee camp.

Born in Sudan, Gum and his family were forced to flee their war-torn country and grew up in a Kenyan camp, where food and water were in scarce supply and education non-existent.

His father, a commander in the army, died two years ago from malaria.

Now living in Melbourne with his mother, three brothers and two sisters, the 17-year-old is studying for his VCE. “I want to go back to Sudan one day to help in some way… maybe I could get a job with World Vision, but I’m very lucky here,” he said.

As for the surfing experience, Gum said his biggest fear was getting in the water.

“I can’t really swim, but today I surfed… even if I only stood up for a few seconds,” he said.

New sponsor for marathon NEXT month’s Great Ocean Road Marathon and Festival of Distance Running has a new major sponsor.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate has come on board as major naming sponsor for the prestigious and internationally reognised event – which will be held this year over the weekend of May 15 and 16.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate has four offices along the Great Ocean Road – Torquay, Airey’s Inlet, Lorne and Apollo Bay. The company’s managing director, Ian Stewart, said the marathon committee should be congratulated and commended on its commitment

to the event and the region.

“The Great Ocean Road International Marathon on the world-famous Great Ocean Road is our backyard,” he said.

“We share a strong belief and passion for our coastline and, after having supported numerous local coastal sporting and community groups, we were looking to align ourselves with a major event that was not only seen to be local but also have a strong interstate and international flavour.

“To us, this was the perfect opportunity.”

Stephens said Great Ocean Road Real Estate joined an illustrious group of long-term local

sponsors who were loyally committed to the marathon festival.

In announcing the sponsorship, marathon festival chairman, Ross Stephens, said his committee was “absolutely delighted” to welcome such a prominent local company aboard for the next three years.

“This is a marvellous boost for the marathon festival,” he said.

“It’s not just the sponsorship. The four principal partners in Great Ocean Road Real Estate are passionate about the event.

“Combined with tremendous backing from organisations like Tourism Victoria, the TAC,

Transpacific/Cleanaway and a wide range of other support sponsors, the sixth annual marathon festival is on target to be a great one.”

Apart from the blue riband event – the 45-kilometre Great Ocean Road Real Estate Marathon on Sunday, starting at 8am – the weekend will host a number of other events for all ages and abilities.

Saturday will include 6.5km and 14km runs, as well as a 14km challenge for wheelchair athletes. On the Sunday a 23km half-marathon will accompany the main event.

Entries close on Monday, May 3 and

Going batty on the Surf Coast MICROBATS along the Surf Coast are currently in a feeding frenzy as they fatten up on insects to see them through the coming winter.

The minute bats can easily take up residence in your roof or walls, and autumn is a good time for a gentle bat eviction before they bunk down for their winter hibernation.

Australia’s Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife’s Backyard Buddies programme is all about getting more enjoyment from native animals in your backyard. It provides tips and advice on how to make your backyard a haven for our insect-controlling microbat mates.

“Microbats are much more common than you may think,” said Leonie Gale, chief executive officer of the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, which runs the Backyard Buddies programme.

“Right now, bats are eating as much as 40 per cent of their own body weight in a single night or several hundred insects per hour.”

So what do you do if you find resident microbats sharing your home? Fortunately for the little bats, there are humane ways to evict them and now is the time.

“Torquay microbats are fully protected which might raise the issue of offences and penalties if any are in fact harmed,” said Gale.

“If done correctly, walls can become bat free and the little bats provided with an alternative roost site and retained in the backyard to go about their insect feeding work which is of great benefit to all of us.”

If you have microbats in your walls or roof, visit Bat Rescue Inc at www.batrescue.org.au for detailed information on how to remove them.

have your say

More community consideration needed Dear Editor, Rip Curl and Surfing Victoria are to be commended for displaying some consideration towards the local Torquay community during this year’s Rip Curl Pro. This is an obvious improvement over recent years, when the local community were, without any consideration, expected to happily forfeit a number of our beaches and surf breaks over the Easter holidays.

Providing passes to the locals was a last minute decision, and there were logistical difficulties in reaching the whole community at such short notice.

The Rip Curl Pro is the only surfing contest in the world to charge entry fees.

Surely the state government’s grant of $500,000 of taxpayers’ money should negate the need to charge entry fees.

The current budget for the Rip Curl Pro is approximately $2million, with a relatively small amount being generated from the gate entry.

Is it worth trying to generate this relatively small amount of money, after spending so much on the event, even at the cost of being on the wrong side of the surfing community?

Why not open the gate to everyone and generate a positive relationship with the local surfing community, as well as attracting more spectators? This can easily lead to greater marketing opportunities, thus selling more merchandise.

The Bells Beach recreational surfing reserve is for all people, which, with the current operating license allows more than 70 days per year of commercial contests (one day in 5).

With increasing usage pressures from surfers, tourists and commercial operators, this is now no longer sustainable.

It would be great if Surfing Victoria and Rip Curl had as the foundation of their ‘social responsibility statement’, the local Surf Coast community’s best interests at heart, in being part of the Easter Rip Curl Pro, and not excluded.

Rip Curl is not doing itself any favours by ignoring community sentiment in order to chase a buck that could be made far more easily by selling T-shirts to happy residents.

Lets make Easter a time that every one can enjoy.

Why burn off?

Dear Editor, A recent article citing eight sets of traffic lights for the Surf Coast Highway at Armstrong Creek, sent shockwaves through Torquay.

This would create a nightmare for travellers and one there is no need for. You can’t create a satellite city like Armstrong Creek without planning the infrastructure and we would like to know where is the planning by the state government.

After the Ring Road/Rossack Drive fiasco, we would like to see the following questions answered by the state government: • How are Armstrong Creek people to access the Surf Coast Highway?

• With proper planning there is no need for more than two sets of traffic lights. How will residents of Armstrong Creek access the Ring Road?

• Surely there must be plans to link the Ring Road with the Bellarine Highway. Where will this go and has the land been reserved?

• A spur railway line to Armstrong Creek has been mooted. Will this go ahead (as it must) and will there be a transit corridor to Torquay?

If so, will the train run to Torquay? If not, what public transport will run from Armstrong Creek to Torquay?

If Geelong is to become so big, let us plan to be able to move with freedom rather than repeating history with band-aid solutions that don’t work.

Dear Editor, I am dumbfounded to read that the Surf Coast Shire still actually advocates burning off as a means of eliminating green waste, in this day and age of so called climate change (Echo, March 25).

It is bad enough that rural properties still need to use these means, but in townships such as Torquay or Jan Juc the ideology is ludicrous.

Burning off is smelly, messy and directly creates greenhouse gas through the smoke and CO2 released from the organic waste.

What is the point of burning off in townships when we are paying for a kerbside green waste collection service once a fortnight and a recycle bin the other?

This is backward thinking on behalf of council in the 21st century. On one hand we have mayor Libby Coker asking for a climate change study before a supermarket can be built in Aireys Inlet; but on the other hand, in this article, she is talking about it now being safe for burning off green waste in township and rural areas – directly contributing to climate change.

When we contacted council over one year ago regarding this issue in townships, we had no reply and certainly no agreement that the antiquated practice should cease in residential areas.

What councillor Coker also doesn’t seem to understand in this article is that in residential areas smoke will always impact upon neighbouring properties, no matter how light the breeze or how hard a person tries to control the smoke.

We should be looking at ways to eliminate our carbon footprint and banning burning off in residential areas and townships is one way in which council could do this.

I publicly challenge all nine councillors of Surf Coast Shire to ban burning off in high-medium density residential areas of the shire.

Building Bellarine education THE REBUILDING and upgrading of all local Bellarine schools is progressing, with eight local schools under construction and 10 school projects now tendered and builders appointed.

Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the Building the Education Revolution programme was “a fantastic outcome for the region’s education system and for the people who work on the Bellarine’s building and construction industry”.

“We have schools like Wallington Primary who will have children in the building in second term and St Leonards Primary School has almost been totally overhauled,” he said.

“Kids have a whole new learning environment which will improve educational outcomes, the community also gets to use the facilities for special events, and we have provided hundreds of jobs.”

The Federal Government’s BER package includes a $14.1billion Primary Schools for the 21st Century element to fund 7,961 schools for 10,665 projects including new libraries, multi-purpose halls, classrooms and the refurbishment of existing facilities.

The $821.8million Science and Language Centres for 21st Secondary Schools (SLC) element delivers funding to 537 schools for the construction of new or refurbishment of existing science laboratories or language learning centres.

• Barwon Heads Primary School: $150,000 for school refurbishment programme (NSP) and $2.5million for multi-purpose hall (BER).

• Ocean Grove Primary School: $200,000 (NSP) and $3million for major upgrade.

• Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary School: $125,000 for a new school roof (NSP) and $2million for new school hall and new classrooms (BER).

• Queenscliff Primary School: $50,000 for sustainable outdoor learning area (NSP) and. $250,000 multi-purpose hall (BER).

• St Aloysius Primary School: $150,000 for outdoor learning area (NSP) and $850,000 for construction of new library and refurbishment of classrooms (BER).

• St Leonards Primary School: $75,000 classroom refurbishment (NSP) and $1.2million for construction of new classrooms.

• St Thomas Primary School: $150,000 for refurbishment of admin area and sick bay (NSP) and $2.5million for new classrooms and outdoor discovery resource centre (BER).

• Surf Side Primary School: $125,000 buildings and grounds upgrade (NSP) and $2million for refurbishment of classrooms (BER) • Wallington Primary School: $125,000 for school refurbishment (NSP) and $2million construction of a new multi- purpose room, arts centre and kitchen / canteen facility (BER).

New environment centre QUEENSCLIFF Primary School’s new environmental learning centre has been completed and will soon be fitted out with equipment and educational material to assist with their studies.

The new centre is designed to minimise its carbon footprint, with energy-smart lighting and fans which are movement activated, and features two classrooms, storage, kitchenette and toilet amenities.

The innovative learning centre, funded through the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution, will enable students to focus on their

surrounding environment including local beaches and Swan Bay. The environmental learning centre will be open for families of prospective 2011 Preps to view on the school’s open day, planned for June 5.

For more information about the new learning centre or school enrolments, contact Queenscliff PS. Queenscliff Primary School students, Jaxon and Vanessa, show principal, Peter Martella, their collection of interesting treasures found around the local area.

Getting your body back KEEN to get back into shape after childbirth? Join Inner Strength’s outdoor mother and baby exercise classes to gain expert instruction and advice from a physiotherapist on how to do the right sort of abdominal exercises.

A host of changes occur to your body during pregnancy and childbirth, including the lengthening and weakening of your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.

These ‘core muscles’ work together and are important in protecting your back from injury and preventing bladder control problems such as incontinence.

Doing the appropriate abdominal exercises with good technique will assist in: • Flattening your tummy so you look and feel great • Prevent/manage back pain • Prevent/manage pelvic pain • Prevent/manage pelvic floor issues.

Abdominals are made up of four different muscles which work together to move and support your torso.

It is normal to have a two or threecentimetre gap in the centre of your abdominal muscles (Diastasis Rectus) after giving birth, and this can be checked and monitored by your

Making the choice easier EXPECTANT mums and new mums looking for those extra handy tips on motherhood are well catered for at Torquay Books.

The Gilbert Street store has a host of books – offering advice for mums-to-be and for those who have just experienced the joy of childbirth.

With so many books to choose from – providing advice on anything from how to get your baby to eat, or sleep, or maintain a routine as you work through those first weeks (or maybe months) – the choice can be confusing.

Enter the friendly and helpful staff at Torquay Books, and the decision on which book to buy can be made a lot easier.

Torquay Books owner, Rosemary Featherston, said whether you are buying a book to help you through pregnancy – or even a book to enjoy with your toddler – reading provides an important link in the relationship. “Not only is reading with your baby a good bonding experience, but reading to your baby enriches his or her language, vocabulary and capabilities,� Featherston said.

Some of the more popular book titles include Hello Baby, The Mummy Book, I Love My Mummy, Baby Love, The Mighty Toddler and Save our Sleep.

For more information on the books available, visit Torquay Books at 1A/9 Gilbert Street or phone the store on 5261 2311.

physiotherapist. A larger gap may need special attention.

The deepest muscle called Transverse Abdominus (TA) works as a corset to support your back.

A well functioning TA is essential and forms the basis of appropriate abdominal exercises for new mums.

Retraining TA requires low level effort, precision, timing and isolation – not effort strength. Expert guidance is required to ensure you are doing these exercises correctly. Pelvic floor damage and weakness associated with childbearing means new mums need to be cautious with the type, intensity and technique of abdominal or ‘core’ exercises they do.

Many people do not realise that sit-ups/abdominal crunches or doing ‘core stability’ exercises which are too difficult are not appropriate exercises for new mums, as they overload weakened structures and can lead to long-term damage.

Inner Strength Physiotherapy is a local specialist in pregnancy and postnatal care services.

Trial a free session at Jan Juc Playground on Fridays at 9.30am or South Geelong on Thursdays at 10am.

Working off that Easter excess YOU were going to be good and go easy on the Easter eggs, not drink too much and keep up with the exercise over the Easter break.

If you’re a victim of a holiday splurge, don’t worry – you can repair the damage!

To lose those unwanted Easter calories you simply need to burn them off. High intensity exercise is a fast way to work off extra kilos and makes your workout time shorter, sharper and much more effective.

Aim to exercise for 30-40 minutes at a level at 70-80 per cent of you maximum heart rate (to work this out it is 220 minus your age times by 0.7). For example if you are 50 years old you would aim to exercise between 119-136 beats per minute.

Investing in a basic heart rate monitor is a great way to monitor your workouts or you can use the ‘talk test’ where you should be just able to hold a conversation when exercising.

Ride a bike, walk up the stairs at the beach, do

some push ups and sit ups, power walk or even kick the footy with the kids – it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you get the heart pumping.

Always remember to check with your GP if you have any medical conditions or if you haven’t exercised for a while.

Couple this with returning to a healthy diet and you will be surprised how quickly the weight comes off.

Post some Love for Humanity

HAVE a mate with a hairy back that you would just love to wax? Or perhaps you’d love to see your girlfriend give up make-up for a week?

Now is your chance to challenge your friends and make a difference with the Red Cross For the Love of Humanity campaign.

Red Cross has launched a new national fundraising campaign called For the Love of Humanity.

For the Love of Humanity is an interactive facebook application with a conscience, that allows you and your friends to challenge yourselves and do good, fun, exciting deeds to benefit humanity.

Any deed is a good deed to raise some dosh for Red Cross and help people in need. Just create a deed, involve your friends, get some sponsorship, do it and post evidence for your friends to see.

Brad Timms, Red Cross’ community fundraising manager, is experiencing the Love of Humanity first hand, with mates lining up deeds for him. Top

of the list is for Timms to give up his obsessive compulsive ways for a whole week, which means he can’t tidy his house, empty the recycling bin or react when his work colleagues move everything on his desk to a 45-degree angle‌ all For the Love of Humanity of course! “It’s going to be a tough week but I love the fact that my friends know me well enough to set a deed that is really going to challenge me,â€? he said. “For the Love of Humanity I’m willing to lower my fastidious standards for a week to help Red Cross support people in need.â€?

Visit www.youtube.com and search ‘For the Love of Humanity’ to see another (painful) deed in action by one of our fearless supporters.

Can’t think of a deed?

Give up something you love for humanity – chocolate, beer, TV – whatever your pleasure,

Need a doctors appointment today?

You can get an appointment today at our brand new medical clinic.

And we bulk bill, so no surprises.

deprive yourself for a day, a week or a month and you could provide clean drinking water for communities in East Timor, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia.

Change something you love for humanity – chop your hair, shave your legs or dare your boyfriend to get a spray tan – make a physical change and you could provide a healthy, nutritious breakfast to Aussie kids who would otherwise go without.

Love a challenge? Run a marathon, climb a mountain, take a deep breath and go for a really long swim – take on a personal challenge and you could reunite family members torn apart by war and other emergencies.

Love to put someone on the spot? Dare a friend to wear lederhosen, spend the day wearing a fake moustache or get the whole office to come dressed as superheroes and you could help develop young

people’s skills to look after themselves and provide support to their peers, particularly with alcohol, drug and mental health issues.

For the love of humanity, get started now!

Log on to www.fortheloveofhumanity.com until May 8 and download the For the Love of Humanity application, create your deed, contact your Facebook friends, and help those in need.

Prizes up for grabs

To show our love for Red Cross supporters, there some great prizes up for grabs. We’ll be giving away a weekend holiday package each day for the quirkiest deed (generously donated by Mantra Hotels, Resorts & Apartments) and a sleek new BlackBerry Bold 9700 to the highest fundraiser (kindly donated by Vodafone Foundation).

Local bakers raise dough for pink power TORQUAY and Ocean Grove Bakers Delight stores will form a pink force to be reckoned with as they join local breast cancer survivors to raise dough during their annual Bakers Delight Pink Bun Fundraising campaign.

During the Pink Bun fundraising campaign, the Torquay and Ocean Grove Bakers Delight outlets will join 630 bakeries across Australia to donate 100 per cent of the sale of Pink Finger Buns and Breast Cancer Network Australia’s (BCNA) Pink Ladies from this Thursday through until May 12.

The aim is to raise $1million for BCNA to help fund its work in providing support and assistance to those women whose lives have been personally affected by breast cancer, and the 14,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2010.

Breast cancer survivor and chief executive officer of BCNA, Lyn Swinburne AM, said that over the past decade the Bakers Delight Pink Bun campaign has become the most significant fundraising effort on the BCNA calendar. “We are incredibly humbled and happy to be celebrating 10 years of unwavering support from Bakers Delight,� Swinburne said.

“The fundraising campaign is an extraordinary collaboration between individual Bakers Delight bakeries, breast cancer survivors and the local community – it is inspiring for our women to see and experience such widespread and heartfelt support.�

Since 2000, Bakers Delight has raised more than $3.7million for BCNA, directly supporting thousands of Australian women and their families through their breast cancer journey.

The teams at Bakers Delight Torquay and Ocean Grove will go all out for the Pink Bun fundraiser – as well as selling pink products, bakeries and their staff will be dressed in pink and collection tins will be on the counters.

Customers are also encouraged to leave a personal message in support or memory of a loved one affected by breast cancer. Tributes can be written and displayed on a Pink Lady.

The public is urged to get behind the efforts of their local Bakers Delight bakeries in Bellarine Peninsula and vote for them online as they vie for the annual Pink Award at www. pinkbun.com.au Vote before 5 May for your chance to win four tickets to Field of Women LIVE 2010.

Industry Info Aussie boss calls for action on shortage FEDERAL and state governments need to release more land for housing in capital cities and address the high costs associated with it as our population surges and the property market heats up, according to Aussie Home Loans executive chairman, John Symond.

“Governments across the country have been negligent in allowing our housing shortage to reach the levels it has,” he said.

“Recent figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show each capital city grew faster in 2008-2009 than they did on average over the last five years.

“The major problem is the inaction of governments to release land, and the cost of connecting utilities is far too high, creating a huge burden on first homebuyers.

“Quite often, connecting utilities to new houses in metropolitan cities can be well over $100,000 per house, and in turn this pushes the price of the new

“For the Reserve Bank Governor to give an interview on national television to give the public an insight into the workings of the RBA and say he is worried about the property frenzy, is unprecedented,” he said.

“No doubt this will have a bearing on higher interest rates.”

Symond said the combination of rising property prices, continuously high rents and our growing population could spell disaster for future generations.

“I do fear young Australians will not be able to experience the joy of home ownership if we continue down the path we are on at the moment,” he said.

“Governments need to act swiftly to ensure we have adequate and affordable housing for all Australians.”

As one of the country’s largest non-bank providers of financial services, Aussie has a loan book of more than $35billion.

home up and contributes to the very high consumer debt in Australia.”

According to the ABS, Perth had the highest growth rate (3.2 per cent) closely followed by Darwin (3.1 per cent) while Melbourne recorded the largest increase (93,500 people). Brisbane reached the population milestone of two million.

The combined population of Australian capital cities increased by 310,200 people in the year to June 2009 and accounted for more than two-thirds of Australia’s population growth.

“Our capital cities are already struggling to house its citizens and if our population continues to grow, we will face a serious situation as housing prices continue to rise and will become out of reach of a huge percentage of people,” Symond said.

He said the Reserve Bank of Australia was gravely concerned over the current property bubble emerging in our capital cities, particularly Sydney and Melbourne.

THE CONCEPT of negative gearing is the subject of a significant level of debate at the moment, so it is worth reviewing what it is and how it works.

From the perspective of the tax office, a rental property is negatively geared if it is purchased with the assistance of borrowed funds, and the net rental income – after deducting other expenses – is less than the interest on the borrowings.

As an example, an investor borrowing funds to buy a property ideally wants the rent from that property to pay for the interest on the loan, with a small profit.

If it does, this is called positive gearing, if it doesn’t it’s negative gearing.

An investor should ideally purchase a property that will appreciate over the medium-to-long term.

Smyth REAL ESTATE

This will deliver equity and capital gain.

It is important to appreciate that negative gearing doesn’t just have a private benefit, it plays a critical role in encouraging private investors to buy and rent out affordable accommodation.

If you are considering buying an investment property it is always advisable to seek accounting and financial advice first.

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 In the morning, when daylight set in, Rosser and mate pulled through the surf again, until they got as near to the vessel as possible with safety. A boat with three men in it was lowered from the wreck, but it broke away from the davits when touching the water, and the men were obliged to pull away from the side of the ship without waiting for any other passengers. Under Rosser’s guidance they were steered through the most favorable portions of the surf, and reached the shore of Zeally Bay in safety. Then they rowed back to the wreck and took off the captain’s wife and daughter and the stewardess.

The remainer of the crew, numbering 21 men, were also landed shortly after 8 o’clock. The captain, first mate and the carpenter were the last to leave the ship, being conveyed ashore in a small boat.

Cavalier has your needs covered THIS year is shaping up to be an exciting one for the team at Cavalier Homes West Coast.

Owners of Cavalier Homes West Coast, Lisa and Rob Clarke, are celebrating the launch of their new design range of homes.

“The 41 new designs in the range feature modern, clean lines that fit with how families in Geelong and the Surf Coast live today,” said Lisa.

At the heart of the new homes range are the casual meals and entertaining areas. Separate but interlinking spaces give the occupants their own haven but make it easy for families to spend time together.

Offering the service, expertise and commitment of a local builder, combined with the backing of a major national

construction company, Cavalier Homes West Coast is the smart choice for new home builders.

Rob and Lisa have long established relationships with the Surf Coast’s best tradespeople.

“We’re focused on ensuring the highest standard of finish at competitive prices… and, most importantly, a hassle-free and enjoyable building experience,” said Rob. If you’re planning a new home or just need some advice about the possibilities, contact Rob and Lisa and the team at Cavalier Homes West Coast on 5243 6521.

Why Blue Cove Homes and GreenSmart are better

Insulation Insulation, when installed correctly, is one of the best ways to reduce climate impact and conserve energy for the life of the home. We insulate around all doors and windows, not only the walls.

Door Frames We bolt each of our doorframes to the floor. Generally builders do not do this. This eliminates problems associated with door slamming and movement.

Wetseal All our wet areas are wet sealed with a protective membrane that is guaranteed against water penetration. Water damage continues to be the number one cause of construction liability claims. We also use Epoxy based grouts, which have anti-microbial protection that inhibits the growth of mould.

Lighting Where possible, we use low voltage and LED lighting. These are environmentally friendly.

Plumbing All our homes have AAA + rated tapware and flow restrictors. Water tanks are plumbed to laundry and toilets.

Greywater recycling is also available for those wanting to go for more water savings. The EPA has just endorsed some Greywater systems that HIA has distributed to all GreenSmart builders.

Professional Development We are very passionate about GreenSmart building practices. As recourses become scarcer, the products available in this area grow. We continually attend seminars and source materials to help achieve more eco-friendly houses.

Site and waste management The demolition and construction of buildings contributes up to 40% of all solid waste in Australian landfills. We use a recycling company that sorts and recycles approximately 60% of waste from our sites. We apply minimalist site cut policies, erect sediment barriers and encourage the use of low embodied building products.

See it live at Anglesea

BY NATHAN HALE RENOWNED blues and roots performer, Chris Wilson, will be special guest at Anglesea Live this Friday night.

Wilson, who has been an essential part of blues and rock music in Australia since taking the stage with the Sole Twisters more than 20 years ago, will showcase his talents among some of the best amateur artists on the Surf Coast and Bellarine.

Now in its ninth year, Anglesea Live is an event open to all ages and abilities and will be held at the Anglesea Hotel, starting at 7pm.

The event is organised by a dedicated committee, headed by Karren Stoneham.

“The event came about because I wanted a platform for bands and young people to perform,” she said.

“Over the years it has proven really popular and within a week of putting posters up this year we were booked out with acts.”

The committee is planning on holding three events this year – with the second already penciled in for June and the third to be held on a date to be confirmed.

A stage will be set up in the function room of the Anglesea Hotel, where bands or solo performers, will be given between 15 and 30 minutes to perform.

Stoneham said that while local performers are very much targeted, the event is open to all musicians, with

surfcoasttimes.com.au

one of the features of the evening being the wideranging musical genres.

“It is a really diverse evening… you get lots of different ages and musical tastes,” she said.

“We have a student bands section, a soloist section and an adult bands section, so everyone is catered for.”

The evening is a not-for-profit event, with tickets available at the door for just $5, with food and drink available.

“We have a small, hard-working committee which makes this happen every year and the event has been well accepted by the community,” Stoneham said.

Wilson, who has enjoyed stints with Harum Scarum and Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls, is regarded as one of our finest vocalists, harmonica players and songwriters in the country.

His instrumental gifts have often been utilised on recordings by the likes of James Reyne, Hunters and Collectors, Vika and Linda, Renee Geyer, Archie Roach, X, Deb Conway and Ross Hannaford’s Dianna Kiss.

Chris has appeared at every major Australian festival and his performances, filled as they are with his own brand of sensuality and the dynamic power that leaves his audiences so satisfied, are always a highlight.

Mere merlot… or is it something else?

WHAT is definitive Australian merlot?

It’s a vexing discussion to say the least and not having tried enough good Aussie merlot over the journey (my fault I know), I for one find it hard at times to get a handle on this variety and all its many guises that 10 or so years ago was seen as the new star on the horizon.

One wine, though, that has consistently shown the way is the merlot from Coldstream Hills winery in the Yarra Valley.

There’s a standard merlot and a reserve version in the portfolio and both wines always show terrific texture, fullness of flavour and complexity.

Over the Tasman, the Kiwis have been slowly but surely crafting merlots of high quality, especially so around the Hawkes Bay region, in the ‘Gimblett Gravels’ sub-region.

This area is an ancient river bed composed mainly of stones that soak up the heat during the day and radiate that back onto the vines at night, where the warm, maritime climate helps the merlot vines achieve full ripeness.

One of New Zealand’s best exponents of this variety is the much heralded ‘Craggy Range’ winery.

Recently at the New Zealand Wine Show at a Merlot Masterclass I had the good fortune to revisit these two producers and see where they’re at regarding merlot and where the variety is heading.

Both wines looked fantastic and reignited my interest in this somewhat ‘flagging’ variety. Mere merlot? If these two wines are anything to go by, I think not!

Mozart and mayhem at the Potato Shed DRYSDALE’S Potato Shed will prove that laughter is the best medicine when it hosts Louis Nowra’s classic Australian play, Cosi, next week.

Presented by HIT Productions, Australia’s Premier Theatre Touring Company, Cosi tells the touching story of Lewis, who embarks on the ambitious task of directing a group of patients from a mental asylum in a production of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte.

With a cast made up of aging nymphomaniacs, obsessives and pyromaniacs who can’t sing or speak Italian, the young director encounters hilarious obstacles as he battles to bring Mozart’s masterpiece to life.

Nowra contrasts the passion and fervour of the anti-Vietnam movement with a world of isolation behind closed doors, to allow the characters to find

fulfilment and humour in the making of a piece of theatre. Lewis’ life is touched by the extraordinary characters as his operatic production lurches forward and he discovers that, when chasing your dreams, it helps not to be too attached to reality.

A riotous comedy about a burning desire for theatre, Cosi is directed by Denis Moore (A Stretch of the Imagination) and features a talented ensemble of actors, including Don Bridges, Michael Wahr, Jim Daly, Katie Jean Harding, Bessie Holland, Caroline Lee, Jacob Allan and Adrian Auld.

The show on Wednesday, April 28, has already sold out but tickets are still available for the Thursday, April 29 performance.

Tickets are available at any City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre or from the Potato Shed on 5251 1998.

Going once, going twice‌ Tuesday 20 April 2010

BY NATHAN HALE FANCY a thrill-seeking flight for half the price it normally is?

If so, then Warbirds Air Adventures has the ideal opportunity for you.

The Barwon Heads-based business if auctioning off a 30-minute flight in a two-seater Nanchang CJ 6A Warbird plane, which can reach a top speed of 350 kilometres per hour.

Throw in a few rolls, loops and spins and the adrenalin-pumping adventure is complete!

Such a 30-minute ride would normally set you back $440, however, under the auction system, the once-in-a-lifetime experience could be yours for half that price. “The system works like any normal online auction,� explained Warbirds owner, Anatole Mills. “We have set a reserve of $220 – which is half price – and any bid over that will be accepted and the highest bid at the time of the auction closing wins the flight. “So there is an opportunity that someone will get a flight for half price.�

Mills said the auction process has been held over

a week so far, but he is thinking of making it even more regular – such has been its popularity. “We are looking at running daily auctions because we have had such a good response,� he said.

Mills is a third generation pilot – following in the footsteps of his grandfather and father.

He flew privately for a few years before opting for a change; enter the aerobatic flying. “It’s heaps more fun than flying at a straight or constant level‌â€? Mills said. “With the flights we start off fairly gently and work our way up‌ we start off with manoeuvres around 2Gs and then end up at around the 4G or 5G mark. “There is a full briefing before the flight and we go through things like teaching you how to breathe to help your body handle the force. “But we never go to a level where something can happen.â€?

Mills said the flights made perfect presents and were suitable for a wide range of ages.

Since starting the business from Barwon Heads in December, he has steadily seen it grow. “I started to work for someone else in 2008 in South Australia and then I went up and worked in

Anatole Mills and his Nanchang CJ 6A Warbird.

Cairns and Townsville,â€? Mills said. “I came down in December and have seen quite a range of people‌ I think the youngest has been 14 and the oldest 84. So there is no real limit to it and we have had a good mix of both men and women. “It does prove a popular gift, but we also still

get a lot of bookings from people wanting to do the flight themselves.�

Apart from the 30-minute flight, Warbirds Air Adventures has a number of other options to enjoy.

Book launch to raise awareness LORNE-AIREYS INLET P-12 College last week played host to the launch of a new book, Where There’s Smoke.

Launched jointly by the CFA and leading children’s book publisher, Scholastic Australia, Where There’s Smoke is written by multi-award winning author, John Heffernan.

The launch included an address to the school by CFA officials, while volunteer fire fighters from Lorne CFA were also in attendance.

The book highlights the dangers of bushfires and the CFA was more than happy to throw their support behind it. “Where There’s Smoke is a great conveyer of CFA’s key messages for the community regarding bushfire safety, especially on days of high fire risk,� said CFA chief executive officer, Mick Bourke. “It is a fantastic communication

tool for getting these important safety messages to children and young adults in a manner they can easily relate to.�

A percentage of the royalties from the sale of Where There’s Smoke will be donated back to CFA. Heffernan was inspired to write Where There’s Smoke by the horrific Black Saturday fires in Victoria in February 2009. “The more I write, the more I realise that it is often the story that finds the author, rather than the other way around. This is certainly true of Where There’s Smoke,� he said. “At the start of 2009 I had several story ideas thought out and ready to go. But then Black Saturday happened, and those stories became irrelevant. “The seed of a far more important story had been planted, and I knew it would not leave me alone until I grew it out.�

Questioning our native garden Tuesday 20 April 2010

IT IS nearly 240 years since the first colonial botanists encountered indigenous ecologies and white civic fathers subsequently imposed European botanical garden templates across the state.

Understorey, an exhibition of paintings and drawings

by Michele Burder and Amanda Johnson, questions the fate of the regional Victorian botanical garden in a context of global warming and extended drought.

How has our physical and cultural encounter with the public garden changed? Has the garden subject (as landscape vista, folly, or symbol of civic confidence) become an expression of cultural nostalgia as environmental problems take their toll on public gardens?

Johnson paints images of ‘supported exotics’ and extinct or threatened plants such as the recently rediscovered Dwarf Spider Orchid (Caladenia pumila) – a Victorian grassland plant whose location is currently being kept secret by the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

Johnson’s illusionistic ‘paper documents’ on canvas are replete with stains, watermarks and foxing mould copied from deteriorated botanical documentations.

Her painterly parodies of ‘first contact’ drawings and 19th century garden designs suggest the melancholy possibility of last contact, while luridly modified Victorian garden plans (after William Guilfoyle and others) are a futuristic revisiting of the botanical archive.

Burder’s anti-picturesque images include rubbish fragments and organic detritus – items that are not considered part of any idealised botanical garden.

Burder cleverly re-documents garden sites and the impact of usage; a furry tennis ball fragment is juxtaposed with a fragment of a pine cone; a broken plastic cup is displayed alongside a twig of cypress.

These objects are formally tagged, in a parody of museum labeling.

At the same time, Burder’s paintings signify how perceptions of gardens and landscape painting can change, or be ‘seeded’ as memory. Her pictures suggest that we can never be sure of the origin of the garden; that gardens may reside in memory or myth as well as in the experience of the boundaried public garden that many people know and love.

Both artists acknowledge that the rich Australian/ European tradtion of garden design has been ‘grafted’ upon indigenous country as a result of the difficult experience of colonisation.

They seek to tease out a range of historical, personal and metaphorical ‘under stories’ from their investigation of botanical gardens in Victoria.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by noted garden historian, Paul Fox.

BLUE HORIZON INTERIORS

Jason Marsh with his daughter Taitum, 1, with one of his custom built children’s tables.

THE COMMUNITY’S leading carpet cleaner is Brett Peters. He has operated his own business, Surf Coast Carpet Cleaning, for the past eight years that has been in high demand from customers.

Peters grew up in Torquay but was looking to return home after working around Australia for 17 years in the forestry industry. He saw the business as a fantastic opportunity and has not looked back since.

He does work for all the real estate agents over the Surf Coast including Lorne.

“I am competitively priced, locally based and known for a high standard of cleaning.

I pride myself of my high and consistent standard,� he said. “The agents seem to continuously use me because I can get a lot of the hard stains out.�

When not at work, Peters is an active member of the Torquay Tennis Club and can normally be found on the tennis court hitting a few volleys.

For more information, phone Brett Peters on 5264 8108 or 0417 581 149.

Marsh has cemented his local reputation for providing high-end designed furniture that is tailored to suit the customer. “Having furniture custom built for you is not always an expensive process.

Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 12 April 2010 to Wednesday 12 May 2010.

Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Connewarre.

1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parish are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Operational details may be obtained from Catherine James by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

1. The word ‘presbyterians’ is an anagram of what

APR 20 - APR 26 2010 Things don’t happen quickly (or according to plan) when Mercury is in retrograde motion. So the next three weeks is not the ideal time to stick to a rigid and stressful timetable - but it is a fabulous time to revise, rehearse, re-do and research. Relationships with loved ones will be stable this weekend, so make the most of it.

Do you want to avoid a financial fiasco? With Mercury reversing through your $$$ zone (until May 12) you need to stick to a strict budget; avoid get-rich-quick schemes; obtain agreements in writing – and double-check the fine print! Take on board the advice of birthday great Charlotte Bronte “Look twice before you leap”.

Do you feel as if you’re treading water? The next three weeks is the time to slow down and chill out as you put major projects and dreams on hold. If you can, postpone making important decisions and signing contracts until after May 12. Some enforced R&R will do you the world of good, as you relax in style in your cozy Crab cave.

Have you lent money to others? Well, don’t be in too much of a hurry to get it back. With retro Mercury causing chaos in your joint finances zone (until May 12) delayed payments are the order of the day, so you’ll need to be patient. Romance is in the air on Saturday but are you viewing your partner through rose-coloured glasses?

With the Sun, Mercury and Venus all passing through your sign this week, aim to turn up your Taurean charm and sex appeal, and turn down your tendency to be stubborn and hold onto grudges. Sometimes it’s a good idea to stick to your guns – but at other times it’s wise to adapt to the changing circumstances around you.

You’re keen to show off your numerous professional talents but, with mischievous Mercury causing commotion in your career zone (until May 12) you need to be extra patient at work. Don’t rush – allow yourself plenty of time to cope with missing paperwork, computer chaos, missed meetings and mixed messages.

With Mercury reversing through your relationship zone, life won’t be boring over the next three weeks. It’s definitely not the time for careless slips and thoughtless quips, as loved ones are inclined to make mountains out of molehills. Be patient. As birthday great Barbra Streisand reminds us “There is nothing more important in life than love.”

When Mercury goes retrograde (which happens for approximately three weeks, three times a year) it usually doesn’t throw you. So life is unpredictable, relationships are constantly changing, messages get mixed-up, and travel plans are disrupted at the last moment. Hey – just another normal week at chez Aquarius!

Mercury’s your ruling planet so, when it moves backwards, you can expect communication hitches, money glitches and general chaos. You love nothing better than a good old gossip but the next three weeks is a time when tactless talk could get you into hot water so think (very carefully) before you spread secrets around.

Are you dreaming of the perfect holiday or weekend getaway? With three planets in your travel zone, chances are you have itchy feet and would love to jump on a plane ASAP. Travel looks stalled over the next three weeks though. If you are taking a trip, double-check your itinerary and be prepared for some last minute hitches and delays.

Watch you don’t upset colleagues with an obtuse remark or hasty decision, as Saturn and retro Mercury stir up your work zones.

Egos will be easily bruised so tread (and speak) carefully. Friday is a fabulous day to approach projects with passion, purpose and Sagittarian style as your adventurous side is fired up and ready to go.

Watch out for crossed wires in encounters with family, friends and neighbours over the next three weeks. Double-check appointment times and think carefully before sending emotionally-charged emails or confusing text messages. Make sure what you say is exactly what you mean, or it could backfire on you later.

No cold comfort

Nic Muscroft in full wetsuit surfing Thurso in Scotland.

NOT EVEN the coldest surf event on the planet could help the Surf Coast trio of Nic Muscroft, Adam Robertson and Jack Perry on the weekend.

Surfing the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill Cold Water Classic in Scotland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is officially regarded as the coldest event in the world with water temperatures down around seven

degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all three failed to make it beyond the final 24 surfers.

Jan Jucâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muscroft was the best performed, being eliminated in round 4 and placing equal 17th while Robertson was out in round three and Perry in round two.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stick with the cold water events, which

theoretically should suit them, as they head to the United States for their next events followed by Canada later in the year.

At this stage all three need some excellent results in the coming months if they are to qualify for the 2011 elite tour.

THE MIGRATION is beginning. It starts off with a restless stirring about Taylor Park that comes with the cooling of the evenings and the dipping of the angle of the sun to the north.

For those caught up in the annual lure of places warmer, the conversations turn to the preparation of caravans and the prices of airline tickets. For those hardy souls who chose to winter in Torquay, all is not lost.

While outdoor bowls closes down on May 2, there is still going to be a considerable amount of action about the place.

The club has decided that the Friday night meals have been such a great success they will be continued each week over the winter.

With the bargain pricing of such great fare, this is really great news.

Also, there will be indoor bias bowls on Wednesdays and Saturdays over the closed season to keep minds and bodies active.

Details of the competitions can be obtained from the club.

And to see the outdoor season out with the bang, the club will be holding an end-ofyear jazz evening on May 2.

The two evenings held so far have been brilliantly successful, with the clubhouse packed, and no wonder.

For just $10 a head, you get a couple of hours of great jazz and some finger food.

And, of course, the bar is open. Anyone interested should contact the club.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB THE LADIES had a very successful day winning their pennant event on Sunday.

BY KANGAJACK

Midweek results In the men’s competition on Wednesday, there was some stiff competition.

In A Grade, John Mooney won with 3 up on a countback from our local detective, David Lewis.

In C Grade, Pete Griffiths won, again on a countback, with 4 up from Paul Johnstone.

The best score of the day was posted

by Carl Rayner, winning B Grade with 5 up, from Graeme Mills on 4 up.

In the IGA Matchplay, there is a lot of tension building, as the final approaches.

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

BY CHRIS BARR

THE NEW rolling handicap system continues to create good healthy discussion. It is going to take some time for most players to get a handle on what is happening to their handicap.

But what everyone needs to look at is their oldest, or 20th, card and how that card compares with the most recent card.

A key factor is whether either card features in the best 10 cards from which the handicap is calculated. Hope that explanation makes sense!

There are some important events on the go, or coming up. The Tom Maloney 4BBB has advanced to the quarter finals stage. The second round of the Clive Martella Cup has been played. All players still participating in these events must check the draws to see when and who they are playing.

Our clubhouse manager, Matt Carboon, will play Keith Turner next Wednesday in this prestigious event.

Thanks to Peter Calvert for his sponsorship!

On Thursday, the Ladies had their highly regarded L’Oreal of Paris Guest Day. Val Abery and Lorraine Elliott with their guests Helen Robertson and Kay Connell won the day from Gloria Hodgkison, Marilyn Cross and guests M. Sweet and M. Kingston.

Helen Stewart, Dot Herman and guests L. Matthews and I. Morris were pipped for third.

an unbelievable score of 53.25 points.

The runners-up were Jarrod McGuane, Stuart Leigh, Darren McGuane and Laurie Fordham with a very respectable 57 points. Kevin Leeman had a hole in one on the 16th .

Next weekend is Anzac weekend, and Saturday is members-only day, with a stableford event.

On Sunday, the clubhouse will open at midday and there is a par event.

On the Monday public holiday, there is a stableford event.

If any member would like to help the RSL by selling Anzac badges for several hours in the shopping centre, please ring Rosemary Adcock, who is the RSL president and one of our members, on 0400 004 209.

Weekend results Saturday brought a glorious day and the Mens’ Ambrose Championship.

The winners were Des Clancy, Jamie Reale, Geoff Dean and Geoff Bell with

All members are invited to hear the board’s plans and question the board on any matters relevant to the club, commencing at 9am. There is a shotgun event at noon that day.

Heard around the club Two cannibals cooked up a clown. As they were dining, one cannibal said to the other “Does this taste funny to you”.

Members’ forum Mark in your diaries Sunday, May 2.

NTPs went to Graeme Jennings, Rick McNamara and Stephen Clarke. Jackpot Pin went to Steve Stadler.

Saturday ladies, Helen Haeberle won with net 69 from Lyn Brady 71. NTP’s went to Lyn Moore, and Cheryl Brunt

From the ladies room This week was the Breast Cancer fundraiser and it quite a sight to see so many splashes of pink on the course and a room full of ladies all wearing pink.

Our president was in her element!

It’s hard to believe we are almost into May and that means it’s time to start thinking about club championships .The men start on May 1, and we will have our first round on May 11.

The final round of the mixed foursomes will be held on Sunday, May 2. The progress boards are up in the clubrooms. Ainsley and Tim Sinnot sit atop of the gross while Gordon Collis and

Jenny Cottrill head the net event.

Clubs hoping for a SWDLGA pennant flag began their chase this week. ur Div 1 and Div 5 (1) recorded wins. With the new handicap system coming it right at the start of Pennant it made things interesting but its early days yet and a season can have many ups and downs before it is over.

It was great to see Barbara Barnes top the nine-hole comp this week. Jackpots went to Sue Murray and Ros Lewis. Ntps were collected by Dawn Jarrold, Helen Haberle and Ros. Wendy Poyner won Div 4. In Div 3 Pamela Brewin won for the second week in a row. In Div 2, Trish Morris won over Helen Haberle and in Div 1 Rob Matheson was the winner over Ainsley.

I am off with my better half chasing surf for a few weeks so will leave Mike Brady in charge of keeping you in the know. Cheers!

funding it?

Considering the problems facing recreational fishing, it obviously needs some form of representation at a national level.

Just a week ago, the part-time Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Minister, Tony Burke, released a recreational fishing discussion paper extolling the virtues of recreational fishing.

This makes it even more extraordinary that we are now seeing the demise of Recfish due to the decisions of that same minister.

The government needs to start listening to the voices of recreational fishers and must act accordingly and ensure that recreational fisherman have the appropriate representation they need at a national level.

RECFISH, the peak body representing Australia’s three-and-a-half million recreational fishers, has had to close its professional office due to lack of funding.

The federal government seems to have problems coming to terms with the importance of recreational fishing in Australia.

“At a time when the Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, is proposing to lock up great swathes of Australia’s waters, the official representative peak recreational fishing sector is being financially strangled by the Rudd government,” said federal coalition spokesman for fisheries, Senator Richard Colbeck.

Recfish has been around for years, representing recreational anglers at a national level on recreational fishing issues, so why did the government not continue
