PLASTIC FREE TORQUAY Surf Coast Energy Group begins push to make Torquay plastic bag free

BY NATHAN HALE

TORQUAY will become a plastic bag free town if an initiative from Surf Coast Energy Group goes ahead.

The group is calling on all local shopkeepers to support the move to make plastic bags obsolete.

Already, Anglesea and Aireys Inlet are plastic bag free towns, and Surf Coast Energy Group chair, Caroline Hawkins, believes Torquay can follow suit. “Anglesea has been plastic bag free for five years now and the community has been really supportive of

the initiative,� she said. “We will be forming a working group to see if it will work in Torquay. We will go and see the traders and supermarkets and shopkeepers and ask if they would like to support the move.�

Hawkins said the idea had already gained support from Torquay Commerce and Tourism. “We will be doing quite a bit of consultation with the shopkeepers and community associations to see if we can get everyone on board,� she said. “Once that happens we can then set a launch date

where all shops agree that they will withdraw plastic bags on the same day.�

Hawkins said reusable bags would replace the plastic bags – and she was hopeful the community would support the move – just as the Anglesea township has embraced it. “The community was very supportive – and still are – in Anglesea,â€? Hawkins said. “They are very proud to be a plastic bag free town‌ and even the tourists are behind it.â€?

Hawkins said one of the biggest obstacles is the

community’s mindset.

In order to help change that mindset, the group is holding a film night at Surfworld on Friday, May 14 with the feature called Message in the Waves.

The film is shot in Hawaii and centres around surfing and how the ocean is being impacted by humans and how plastic is involved.

Each year Australians use 6.9 billion plastic shopping bags.

MAYOR’S COLUMN 2010: Time to think 2040

The opportunity for you to have a stronger say in how we respond to growth challenges on the Surf Coast and define how Torquay and Jan Juc will evolve over the next 30 years is about to arrive.

Surf Coast Shire has appointed a project manager and is now developing detailed consultation plans for Torquay Jan Juc 2040, a pioneering project that will seek to better fuse the community’s aspirations with future land use planning.

Following the appointment of former City of Greater Geelong general manager economic development and planning, Kate Sullivan, to the role, we will be seeking to ramp up community consultation in the next couple of months; with a view to presenting the final report in mid-2011.

It is council’s intent that Torquay Jan Juc 2040 becomes a model other coastal communities under growth pressure can use for their futures.

The Victorian government has recognised the need to explore new ways of planning for the future of coastal communities by contributing $110,000 in funding to the project.

Councillors and staff both attended the last Cowrie Market until spring earlier this month to discuss the 2040 project with residents. I look forward to providing you with regular updates in this column as this vital project ramps up.

A busy week of advocacy

Last week I was pleased to attend a landmark celebration of the year of women in local government held in Melbourne.

The Local Government Managers Association has declared 2010 the Year of Women In Local Government to encourage greater participation of women in councillor and high-level staff roles.

Now, women comprise 29.5 per cent of Victorian councillors. While I’m pleased to say Surf Coast Shire is well above this average, the figure does provide food for thought about how the composition of councils and indeed other parliaments reflects that of our communities.

I also attended a local government ministerial forum hosted by inister for Local Government, Richard Wynne, and Women’s Affairs Minister, Maxine Morand.

The forum was a great opportunity for mayors to meet directly with ministers.

We also discussed our five key priorities for state and federal government support including transport between Armstrong Creek and Torquay and the connection of natural gas to Winchelsea. For more on these priorities, visit http://www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au/hightide_to_hinterland.htm

Moriac forum

Council will be holding a public forum in Moriac to discuss a range of community issues, including the future of the town’s library service.

The forum comes after Surf Coast Shire accepted the findings of a Geelong Regional Library Corporation review into regional library services.

Following the review, Surf Coast Shire will be upgrading a number of current mobile library sites, re-instating the mobile library service to Deans Marsh and providing an alternative library service at Moriac to the current mobile library visit.

Alternative options include a possible pick up and drop off service that would deliver loans to a drop-off point every week. Another option to be canvassed will involve a door-to-door drop off service for residents with specific requirements.

The forum will also discuss the possibility of setting up a Family Day Care service in Moriac, establishing a community choir and community houses.

The forum will be held at Newling Community Reserve this Thursday, April 29, from 7pm. No RSVP is necessary – all are welcome.

Love working with children?

If you love working with children and like the idea of working from home, council’s Family Day Care scheme provides a great opportunity.

Council runs a Family Day Care scheme that has consistently achieved extremely high standards in its accreditation by the National Childcare Accreditation Council. The programme is now looking for prospective carers throughout the Surf Coast Shire.

Family Day Care is a unique model of child care where children are cared for in a nurturing and supportive home environment.

Council’s Family Day Care co-ordination unit provides support and development opportunities for carers; including assistance in applying for the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations’ $1,500 start-up grant for new carers.

If you’d like more information, phone council’s Family Day Care co-ordination unit on 5261 0648.

Congratulations to Peter Hughes, who was named the Geelong region’s Master Builders Apprentice of the Year. The award is a sign of great dedication and suggests a bright future for this local young achiever; who is now a finalist for the state award (see full story Page 20) Warm regards,

Concern over fungus outbreak

BY NATHAN HALE POINT Addis residents are concerned an outbreak of Cinnamon Fungus has been created through current asset protection clearing works.

The works are currently being undertaken by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), and include the clearing of vegetation, including a number of native grass trees and eucalyptus in a 40-metre strip along

the rim of the Ironbark Basin.

Bronwyn Spark, president of the Friends of Point Addis and Ironbark Basin, said the work to create the protection zone had caused a large amount of damage to the environment, as well as spreading the troublesome and invasive Cinnamon Fungus.

Cinnamon Fungus (Phytophthora cinnamomi) is a microscopic, soil borne pathogen (disease causing organism) that attacks and destroys plant root systems,

BEFORE THE CLEARING

causing plants to die through lack of water and nutrients.

Patches of dead or dying vegetation can indicate the presence of the disease and grass trees are particularly susceptible. It is spread through infected plants and the movement of contaminated soil and gravel, and there is no known cure. “On the federal government register, Cinnamon Fungus is the second biggest threat to the environment after land clearing,â€? Spark said. “A lot of properties that back onto the basin have been affected for a very long time and owners have worked hard to control it. “Now it looks as though the majority of the area which has been cleared has been contaminated‌ it is right over the lip of the basin where run-off will take it into the basin‌ there is no telling the damage that has been done.â€?

Cinnamon Fungus is easily spread through the movement of contaminated soil and gravel carried by vehicle or foot traffic.

Spark said that while DSE had taken measures to control the spread of the disease once notified by residents, a lot of the damage had already been done. “We appreciate that DSE is under pressure to get burning and clearing done – and that they have been rushed,� she said.

residents who live around here will have to spray their shoes before they go back onto their property. “Anyone who enters the basin now and walks or rides through must stick to the main track and remove soil before taking the disease elsewhere. “The disease can lay in the soil and is then carried out on shoes or tyres.�

Spark said the degree of clearing that had been undertaken had also caused alarm among local residents.

“What concerned us most was the lack of community consultation before they started. Unfortunately this has also led to 15 plants of the rare velvet daisy bush – a protected species – being destroyed. “If they had have come to us we could have told them about the extent of Cinnamon Fungus.

Raising the bar on playgrounds

SURF Coast Shire has placed on exhibition a Draft Playground Strategy that provides a rolling 10-year plan for upgrades to playgrounds, new standards for playground development and plans for new and upgraded facilities.

Council’s Draft Playground Strategy also includes plans for capital works upgrades that focus on renewing and improving current facilities and providing new facilities in growth areas.

Nine new playgrounds are proposed in Torquay and Jan Juc, including one at the Community and Civic Precinct.

Four new playgrounds are also earmarked for Winchelsea, providing major improvements; while one new playground is proposed in Wurdale

Submissions will be accepted until Friday, June 11 by mail to Surf Coast Shire Playground Strategy, PO Box 350, Torquay 3228 or by completing the feedback form accompanying the strategy at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/ onexhibition.htm “Council would welcome comment from anyone interested. I encourage you to review the strategy on council’s website or in hard copy form,� Coker said.

playgrounds. “The draft strategy also earmarks a capital works budget of around $1.5million over the next five years for playground construction and upgrades. “We are the fastest growing regional municipality in Victoria and providing facilities for young families like playgrounds is an important part of meeting the demands of growth and the needs of young families and children throughout the whole shire.�

The strategy will be available online from www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au/onexhibition.htm as well as Community Houses in Lorne, Winchelsea, Anglesea and Deans Marsh, the Torquay Library, Surf Coast

as well as Lorne, Anglesea, Moriac, Modewarre and Moggs Creek.

Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, said the strategy highlights the importance of playgrounds for all children from birth to 12 years and shows council’s commitment to providing facilities to help young families and children grow. “This is council’s first Playground Strategy; an important endeavour in providing the facilities our growing community needs,� she said. “It’s particularly important for young families and has a strong focus on providing facilities in growth areas – from neighbourhood local playgrounds to larger regional and district

Jan Juc’s ecological burn

GREAT Ocean Road Coast Committee broke new ground last week when it conducted its first ecological burn on managed land.

The controlled burn of a section of rare native grassland took place last week at Jan Juc in a bid to help stimulate the regeneration of local indigenous grass species.

The burn was jointly organised by the GORCC, Jan Juc Coast Action Group and Parks Victoria. “The burn was undertaken as a trial and is expected to contribute to better outcomes in terms of regenerating our rare native grasses, which are constantly being threatened by invasive weeds,� said GORCC boss, David Clarke. “We believe the burn will prove critical to conserving Jan Juc’s biodiversity and can’t wait to see the results over the coming months and years. “Jan Juc Coast Action was pivotal

in making it happen and will play an important role in monitoring the effects of the burn as part of the group’s ongoing custodianship of the coast in Jan Juc.�

The burn – conducted and overseen

by Parks Victoria – involved less than 0.1 of a hectare of native grassland in the coastal reserve between Carnoustie Avenue and Ocean Boulevard.

Clarke said the small size of the burn area would help to ensure any weed regrowth could be controlled while boosting native species regeneration. “Our Environment and Land Management Plan identifies invasive weeds as the greatest threat to coastal biodiversity and the need to eradicate and control invasive weeds as a top priority,� he said. “Today’s trial represented another step forward in taking direct action against the serious threat posed by invasive weeds.�

Torquay RSL’s Kevin Egan was special guest at St Therese Primary School’s ANZAC service, which involved one minute’s silence, readings, bugle call and the laying of wreaths made by students, including Raffety and Olivia.

Pictured at the announcement of funding for the new ramp were (back, from left) Michael Crutchfield, Shane Korth (front) David Clarke, Marine Safety Victoria director, Di Bates, and Tim Pallas.

TORQUAY’S ageing boat ramp will be dismantled and replaced with a new million-dollar structure, the state government announced last week.

In a major boost for recreational boat users and anglers, the $1.2million ramp will be up and running within months, according to Great Ocean Road Coast Committee boss, David Clarke.

Roads and Ports Minister, Tim Pallas, was in Torquay to announce the funding with Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield.

Construction on the new ramp – which will be wider and longer than the existing one, and built 30 metres further south of the current ramp – will begin in May and should be finished by August. “Work will commence in the coming weeks and there is only a building time of around 10 weeks, so you can expect things to take shape pretty quickly,�

Clarke said.

The 49-year-old ramp is one of the busiest in the state, and while it looks in useable condition on the surface, it is being eaten away by ‘concrete cancer’. “We can see anything up to 20,000 launches per year and around 200 launches a day in the middle of summer,� said

Torquay Angling Club secretary, Shane Korth. “So to get the money to put a new ramp in is great new for everyone who uses the facilities at Fishermans Beach.�

Crutchfield welcomed the new funding and said it would be a satisfying result for the local community. “This is a great day for the Torquay community. It is also very welcome news for boaters in the area and the groups we have worked with to make this possible, such as the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC), Torquay Angling Club and Torquay Marine Rescue,� he said. “The boat ramp will be a popular spot for the local community and the many visitors who will use it for a wide range of activities well into the future.�

Pallas said the funding was awarded through the Boating Safety and Facilities Programme. “Improving boating safety on Victoria’s waterways is a priority for our government and this grants programme has been a wonderful initiative for providing infrastructure, equipment and resources to make this happen,� he said.

Recognising our top business women DO YOU know a business woman in the region who deserves to be recognised?

If so, nominate her now for the 2010 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.

In announcing the opening of nominations for the award last week, Telstra Country Wide Area general manager, Jodi Manion, said numerous women throughout the Surf Coast deserved to be recognised.

“We look forward to seeing many of our leading business women nominated and recognised through the awards programme, which began in 1995,” she said.

“The courage, leadership and achievements of business women in the region make the local community strong and inspire pride.

“The opening of nominations and entries this week for the 2010 awards provides an opportunity to shine

a light on these inspiring women – whether they are business owners, managers or employees.

“The awards have proved valuable for many regional business women, offering the chance to reflect on their career and objectives.

“For winners, there’s the benefit of building wider networks with business women outside our region.”

The 2010 Telstra Business Women’s Awards offer more than $200,000 in prizes, as well as the chance of winning Australia’s most prestigious business women’s prize – the Telstra Business Woman of the Year.

Manion said Telstra had a long-standing commitment to inspiring women to succeed in business.

“We believe that over the years the success of awards winners has given motivation to business women in our area to reach and exceed their own goals,” she said.

Library forum to be held at Moriac MORIAC residents are being invited to attend a community forum to discuss future library services in the town and a range of other community activities.

The forum comes after Surf Coast Shire accepted the findings of a Geelong Regional Library Corporation review into regional library services.

As a result of the review, Surf Coast Shire will be upgrading a number of current mobile library sites, re-instating the mobile library service to Deans Marsh and providing an alternative library service at Moriac to the current mobile library.

Council and the Geelong Regional Library Corporation will be exploring alternative service

provision in Moriac – which is part of the Grovedale Library catchment – including a possible pick up and drop off service that would deliver loans to a drop-off point every week.

Another option to be canvassed will involve a door-to-door drop off service for residents with specific requirements.

The forum will be held from 7pm-9pm this Thursday at the Newling Reserve Community Hall.

Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, said council wanted to discuss the operation of a new drop-off and pick-up service, which could be run through the Moriac Community Centre, with interested residents.

Torquay Bakers Delight will join with other franchises across the country to help raise money for the Breast Cancer Network of Australia. All proceeds from the sale of pink finger buns and pink ladies will go to the network. Pictured with a selection of the pink treats was Christian Jackson from Torquay Bakers Delight.

Water safety is paramount SUMMER holidays are over and children are back at kindergarten and school, but we still have warm weekends and the Easter break to come.

Unfortunately, this is the time that it is easy to become complacent about water safety and our children – as they are the most precious resource – they are not a material thing that can be replaced.

Keeping them safe requires multiple layers of protection – constant eyes or supervision, strong swimming and survival skills and reliable pool security systems.

The more layers of safety, the less likely a child is to drown. It is essential to keep your eyes – not just your ears – on young children and toddlers at all times around any amount of water. You need to establish non-negotiable water safety rules around the house and all aquatic environments for children of all ages.

For every drowning death, approximately six

children or toddlers are admitted to hospital as a result of an immersion accident.

Teaching children to swim

Have your children taught to swim at a reputable swim school that allows you to view lessons before enrolment and has a sequential programme that educates the children in swimming and water safety skills, not just entertains them.

Debbie and Geoff Gill at Geelong Aquatic Centre provide quality programmes in ideal learning conditions of warm, salt-chlorinated pools, for all ages, beginning with babies from four months of age through to adult.

Infant and toddler programmes help even the very young understand and respect the dangers of the water. They offer them emergency skills, such as back floating, submerging and coming back to the top of the water, and reaching for and grasping the edge, appropriate entries and exits into and out of

the water.

All these skills lead to age and developmentally appropriate swimming lessons, that may save their lives and make for an enjoyable and safe experience, in and around the water.

A quality learn-to-swim programme at school age builds children’s skills and confidence and eventually helps keep them safer in the water.

Children, however, need regular and on-going exposure to positive experiences in and around the water, if they are to master skills.

Keep the lessons regular

Continuous lessons, particularly in young children whose long-term skill retention and muscle memory are just beginning to develop, enables them to build on existing skills.

They need to learn until they can confidently swim at least 400 metres using a variety of strokes.

Children who are happy and confident in

the water, will always be able to think themselves out of difficult situations and will be in the position to most quickly, safely and enjoyably learn to swim.

Many areas of a child’s development, including academic performance, maths, language, fine motor and gross motor skills, confidence and coordination, will improve with consistent swimming.

Swimming offers one of the best activities for good health with a minimal risk of injury. It is a lifetime skill which opens the door to a variety of aquatic based activities, whether for fitness, therapy, or fun.

Geelong Aquatic Centre, in Newtown, offer a range of programmes for all ages, including term lessons, holiday intensive programs, squads, Austswim and SAT teacher training courses, Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion and CPR. For more information, phone the centre on 5222 5530.

Library for the children WE HAVE MOVED

BY NATHAN HALE

FOR MORE than a decade, Surf Coast Toy Library has been providing a cost-efficient way for parents to keep their children entertained.

The library, which is run entirely by volunteers, was the recipient last year of a $1,000 grant from the Torquay and District Community Enterprise.

The grant enabled the library to add to their selection of toys.

“We received $1,000 from the enterprise and it went towards a party pack,” said the library’s Tanya Deans.

“It is a complete pack that people can borrow for children’s birthday parties. It has things like a see-saw, parachute, egg and spoon set for a race, jumping sacks and more.”

The library currently boasts more than 600 toys, which have been purchased through the membership fees and by a yearly fundraiser.

Community grants, such as the one from the community enterprise, allow that number to continue to grow, as do donations from families.

Deans said these contributions play an important part in enabling the library to continue to operate.

“The toy library is a really good resource,” Deans said.

“Instead of parents going out and buying toys, parents can come in and borrow them and come back for new ones every couple of weeks.

“The value of play is very important to the development of children, and this is an important community service where people can borrow toys and they don’t have to continue to spend money.

“Community grants allow us to keep purchasing new toys and we are always happy to take donations of pre-loved toys.

“The library also provides a good opportunity for families to network, as it is run by volunteers who offer their time to help out.”

Torquay Hire Service & Torquay Steel Supplies

have relocated to 14 Beacon Blvd (Westcoast Business Park)

Enjoying a sample of the toys on offer from the library were Mia and Ella.

Single membership of the library is $40 for 12 months; $55 for a family membership and $35 for six months.

The library is situated in the Children’s Hub in Grossmans Road, Torquay, and operates on

Tuesdays and Sundays from 9.30am-11am.

Surf Coast Shire arts development officer, Julie Dyer, said the design competition is open to all members of the community.

“The theme is open to interpretation for anyone

Last year’s winning entry, from Aireys Inlet’s Liz Lee.

who wants to enter,” Dyer said.

“Anyone can enter and entries close on May 10.”

The annual community festival is now in its 16th year and will be held this year over December 3, 4 and 5.

The festival is a celebration of local culture and aims to: • Celebrate the uniqueness of Torquay, local culture and cultural heritage of the area • Embrace and celebrate community spirit • Encourage community participation • Showcase community services, groups and talents • Celebrate the environment in which we live • Develop and encourage access to new skills.

The winning entry will be used to promote the festival and on numerous festival promotional materials – from flyers to t-shirts.

Last year’s winning design came from Aireys Inlet’s Liz Lee, whose entry underlined the Natural Balance theme.

“My logo is circular; each part connects and supports the next – earth and grass, tree, sand, road, sea and community. The shape leads the viewer’s eye around and back again to a beginning – a wholeness, a natural balance,” she said after winning the competition.

Entry forms are available from the shire’s website, visit www.torquay.vic.au/news or email hightide@ surfcoast.vic.gov.au Anyone interested in becoming involved in the festival can contact Julie Dyer by emailing hightide@ surfcoast.vic.gov.au

Come and see the seagulls A NEW and innovative form of artwork will be on display at Jan Juc’s Bird Rock Cafe from this Saturday.

Seagulls with Handbags is a new online business started by local surfer and Quiksilver designer, Joel Steven.

The idea came from when Steven’s father, a surfboard shaper and artist from Tasmania, painted on an old coffee table one day.

He noticed how good art looked when viewed horizontally and not just hung on a wall.

“I have always admired my father’s abstract painting style and thought what a great idea… useable artwork,” Steven said.

The first painting of his father’s – which featured three seagulls flying and holding handbags – also proved to be the inspiration

for the name of the business.

“My artwork is inspired by the scenery I get to experience on a day to day basis living down here on the Surf Coast,” Steven said.

The tables use recycled Tasmanian oak and also feature an innovative design which enables them to be put together with no tools and can be posted in a flat pack to anywhere in Australia.

The exhibition will be opened this Saturday at Bird Rock Café at 6pm, and will remain on display throughout the month of May. The coffee tables can be purchased prepacked and online from Steven’s blog, at seagullswithhandbags.blogspot.com For more information on the coffee tables, contact Joel Steven by email at seagullswithhandbags@gmail.com

Portarlington rejuvenation welcomed Dear Editor, I for one would like to pledge my support for the wonderful development proposed for 1 Newcombe Street, Portarlington.

This type of development, as well as the Safe Harbour and Retirement Village, is well overdue in a town that screams out for some rejuvenation.

For far too long development in this town has been stalled by a small number of people who oppose ANY change – most of whom have retired here for the quiet life after living in the city.

Some don’t even live in the town.

What gives these people the right to deny my grandchildren (7th generation born on the Bellarine Peninsula) employment opportunities in the town where they were born?

If my grandfather had the same attitude as these people we would still be riding around in a horse and cart and turning off the lights at midnight.

These serial protesters certainly aren’t the voice of MY town.

If our councillor would get his head out of the sand and become more accessible to the townsfolk he might find a different barrow to push.

Lindsay Ellis Portarlington

Support for the shire of Bellarine Dear Editor, I agree with Peter Cowden in that we should consider reforming the Shire of Bellarine (Bellarine Times April 13).

The City of Greedier Geelong takes our rates each year and gives very little in return.

It spends it all on the waterfront, the city centre and Kardinia Park, which are irrelevant to many Bellarine residents.

We would like to see more emphasis on matters of concern to Bellarine residents, such as occasional grading of the many unmade roads in the area.

I would definitely vote for a party which promoted a separate Bellarine council.

Margaret Fraser Curlewis

Difference between wants and needs Dear Editor, It seems fairly obvious that the Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, still doesn’t seem to get it.

She doesn’t understand the difference between ‘much needed’ infrastructure and wanted infrastructure.

Having attended the second verbal submission hearing, it became blatantly obvious that councillors had already made up their minds on running footpaths north-south.

At no time did anyone making submissions say that they wanted any special charge scheme, and most were, in fact, against having footpaths at all.

Mayor Coker, however, wouldn’t know this as she failed to attend any of the verbal submission hearings (nor did councillor Schroeter).

If council listened to the community on the Jan Juc pathways, it must have been with their ears painted on, because they didn’t hear what the overwhelming majority of the Jan Juc ratepayers

were saying.

Instead of being patronising, and telling us what’s good for us, its time council respected the wishes of the people and gave us what we want, not what they think we need… and don’t even get me started on the West Coast Business Park!

cutting-edge research into better treatments and cures.

Thank you for a fantastic year for the World’s Greatest Shave – we could not have done it without you.

It is not too late to donate online, visit www.worldsgreatestshave.com Stephanie Hechenberger General Manager, Leukaemia Foundation

A big thank you from Leukaemia Foundation School congestion still a major concern

Dear Editor, The Leukaemia Foundation would like to thank your readers for participating in this year’s World’s Greatest Shave and helping to make it one of the best.

So far we have raised over $2.4million in Victoria and we are setting our sights on $3million for the first time ever.

As the Leukaemia Foundation receives no government funding, we are reliant on the generous donations of individuals and corporations.

The World’s Greatest Shave is our largest fundraising campaign each year and the participation throughout Victoria this year has been phenomenal.

We had many inspiring registrants, including Alan Webster who pledged to shave off his 32-yearold moustache if he reached $10,000. Alan went above and beyond his initial goal, raising an astounding $42,000.

Money raised from the World’s Greatest Shave will be used to help patients living with blood cancer.

It is not too late to be involved – you can take part any time of the year and help to raise muchneeded funds for the 2,500 Victorians projected to be diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year alone.

The money we raise will enable us to continue to provide essential programmes such as emergency accommodation, transport to treatment, education, information, counselling and support free of charge to Victorian families, while funding

LOW PRICES ON TYRES

QUALITY SERVICE from only

Dear Editor, What a contrast there is between David Koch in his deep concern re the very bad congestion in Grossmans Road at school stimes (Surf Coast Times April 13) and his counterpart Michael Crutchfield.

At the present time there are 1,415 children enrolled from Kindergarten through to Year 9 – plus teachers.

If the need arises at congestion times, where someone is in desperate need of medical attention but the essential services cannot get through the congestion, there would be a huge outcry.

The Surf Coast Shire is also at fault, by not planning for the growth in the Grossmans Road area with better road access.

Forty years ago I could see the need for better road access, but it seems shire engineers have failed badly in their duties.

I always thought that we elected parliamentary members to help with good planning, but with the current government this just seems to be wishful thinking.

Prior to the Torquay Primary School move to Grossmans Road they had an enrolment of about 400, yet the residents in two roads – Boston and Bristol – were forever complaining about the traffic during school time.

With an extra 1,000 students at Grossmans Road, think how the current day situation compares.

A hidden A Christian tradition secret

BY SIMONE MCNAUGHT NEW QUEENSCLIFF Primary School principal, Peter Martella, has described the school as “a hidden secret”.

Martella, who has taken up a five-year term as principal, said he was thrilled to be involved with such a community orientated school.

Queenscliff currently has 39 students enrolled, however, Martella doesn’t see the small numbers as a negative.

“The benefits are huge for our students as the amount of individual instruction and attention that children receive at this school is second to none,” he said.

With more than 30 years teaching experience throughout Melbourne and Geelong, Martella said scmaller schools have many advantages.

“There are many positives to a smaller school,” he said.

“For one, the students all know one another; all grades mix with each other and there is a real

sense of community within the school.

“This flows through to the wider school community. We had a fish and chip night last term and every family attended, it’s not often that you see that kind of turn out in larger schools.”

Martella accepts there are challenges with a small school, but he said it is about getting the balance of classes right.

He encouraged prospective parents to come and see the school at work. The new environmental learning centre has been completed and Martella’s vision is to have the whole school working two afternoons a week on environmental issues based on the local environment.

Martella’s mission is to encourage people in the Queenscliff community and beyond to see Queenscliff Primary School as their preferred choice for primary education.

For further details, phone Peter Martella on 5258 1696 or email queenscliff.ps@edumail. vic.gov.au

Creatures of comfort AS IT gets colder and darker, keeping up with exercise becomes that little bit harder.

Staying curled up in the warm doona seems like a much easier option then getting up for that early morning walk or run.

To make matters worse we tend to eat more ‘comfort’ foods in the colder months.

It seems like the cold weather makes us crave for warm, hearty and calorie-compounding foods like pastas, chocolate, red wine, cheese and pizza.

Not that anything is wrong with these foods – I love a good pizza and a beer or two in front of the TV watching the footy on a cold Friday night.

For those trying to lose or even maintain weight, winter can be a dangerous time.

By eating more and exercising less we gain weight easily and unnoticeably while we cover

up in those winter woollies.

Before you know it, it’s time to get that swimsuit out again and the kilos have come from nowhere!

So, if you’re going to be a creature of comfort over winter, just remember to work them off!

Here are some tips for staying healthy over the cooler months: • Train shorter but harder: Aim for 30 minutes,three to four times a week at 70-80 per cent of you maximum heart rate • Eat every two to three hours, made up of three meals and two healthy snacks a day If you’re not a member at a gym, there is still plenty of opportunity for you to train at home with a simple 30-minute session, which could look something like this: • Five-minute warm up walk/jog around the

block • Two sets of 10-12 push ups (on knees for beginners) • Two sets of 10-12 squats • One minute of skipping • Two sets of 10-12 dips (use a chair) • Two sets of 10-12 shoulder press with dumb-bells (sit on a chair) • One minute of skipping • Two sets of lunges (10 each leg) • Two sets of 15-30 sit ups • One minute of skipping • Stretch to cool down.

Breakthrough in giving up smoking IF YOU know someone who smokes, chances are you know they will have tried to give up at some stage in their lives.

Most smokers can tell you many good health reasons why they should give up smoking; it causes heart, blood vessel and lung disease and causes more than 19,000 deaths in Australia every year.

Smokers affect their families’ health too; infants who are exposed to passive smoking are more likely to develop chest infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

Passive smoking contributes to childhood asthma symptoms and is also a cause of heart

disease and lung cancer in adult non-smokers.

The fact is that the nicotine in tobacco is a highly addictive drug and this makes smoking tobacco very difficult to give up.

However, there is a new direction in smoking cessation.The most significant change is in recognising nicotine as a drug of addiction, according to Christine Buckley, senior respiratory physiotherapist at Colac Area Health.

This recognition, together with the ability to correctly identify the level of nicotine addiction the smoker is experiencing, and then to treat the addiction appropriately, is integral to the success

Children urged take the challenge SURF Coast and Bellarine school teachers are being encouraged to sign up their classes to The Global Children’s Challenge™.

The challenge is free and is being undertaken in an effort to improve the long-term health, wellbeing and physical fitness of local children.

Research globally shows shocking trends: • An alarming 25 per cent of Australian children are overweight or obese • If weight gain continues on its current path, 80 per cent of all Australian adults and a third of Australian children will be overweight or obese by 2020 • Australian children are ranked as some the most inactive of all developed countries • Obesity is known to be a major contributor to the current type 2 diabetes epidemic.

The Global Children’s Challenge™ is set on overturning these unhealthy trends. As part of the challenge, Grades 4, 5 and 6 children in Surf Coast and Bellarine schools would wear a pedometer every day and aim to get over 15,000 steps.

These steps are then logged into an interactive website which takes the class on a virtual journey around the world, making exercise fun and educational.

The Global Children’s Challenge™ starts in September, but school teachers need to register their interest at www.gccjunior.com before May 31 in order to reserve their school classes a free place in the challenge.

Australian Olympic champions, Herb Elliott and Cathy Freeman, are both encouraging schools to take the matter into their own hands and sign up for the free programme.

Once registered, teachers and their classes

will have the opportunity to take part alongside thousands of schools globally.

“The health of our future generations is at serious risk and it is our responsibility to do our bit in educating today’s youth on the importance of being active, everyone should be getting involved,” Freeman said.

THE NATIONAL Asthma Council Australia has produced a simple online video to demonstrate correct inhaler usage for children using a puffer and spacer.

The video, which can be viewed at www.

NationalAsthma.org.au shows National Asthma Council Australia asthma educator, Judi Wicking, overseeing a young girl as she uses her medication, with clear sub-titles on screen providing step-by-step instructions.

Up to 90 per cent of patients are not using their inhalers correctly.

This misuse results in poor medication delivery, which in turn can lead to reduced quality of life, more frequent and longer hospital stays and an increased dependence on their medication.

With children, common problems include not shaking a puffer between each dose and putting multiple doses into a spacer, rather than inhaling each individual dose one at a time.

“It can be hard for parents or carers who do not use an inhaler themselves to ensure their child is getting maximum benefit from their medication by using their inhaler correctly,” Judi Wicking said.

“This short video has been developed to give parents and carers confidence to help their child, especially when they are most in need of medication to aid their breathing.”

“The Global Children’s Challenge™ will give schools the opportunity to make a positive influence on their students’ health and fitness – not only now, but in the long term,” said Elliott.

Registrations are now open and will close on May 31.

Joyce celebrates magic milestone ANGLESEA resident Joyce Chalmers joined an elite group when she celebrated her 100th birthday last Friday.

Joyce, who is a resident at Blue Cross in Anglesea, became the seventh person in the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong regions to celebrate the milestone this year.

She celebrated her achievement with her daughter, Heather, and fellow Blue Cross residents last Thursday.

Joyce was born in Melbourne and grew up in Elsternwick. She met her future husband, David, and moved to Balranald in New South Wales to live.

They remained on the property until David

passed away. Their son continues to run the property with his family.

Joyce was 70 when she got her first driver’s licence, and she used to make a fortnightly trip to Mildura to go shopping.

At the age of 82, Joyce joined Heather at Bellbrae, where she remained until she moved to Blue Cross 16 months ago.

Not to be outdone, Joyce’s sister, Kathie, is 97 and is a regular visitor to Anglesea to see her older sibling.

It was a special day for Joyce Chalmers last Friday when she celebrated her 100th birthday.

use or mismanagement of their money or property.

“They will also include topics such as how to avoid scams, retirement planning, superannuation, and the importance of Wills.”

This week we introduce you to our resident financial planner, Aaron Kelleher-Jones, who will provide regular financial tips to help you explore options that may be relevant to you, to achieve your goals and objectives.

We call it Generation U.

John Connors spent a relaxing day in Portarlington visiting his mother, Marion Connors, last week.

Centrepay… manage bills for free Recently I visited the Geelong Centrelink office to gather some information for a client of mine. While there I came across a brochure, Centrepay – Manage your bills for free.

This I found most interesting and for our first article I would like to briefly share some of the information contained in the leaflet.

Centrepay is a free direct bill-paying service offered to recipients of Centrelink payments.

Through Centrepay you can choose to pay bills by having a regular amount deducted from your Centrelink payment.

Centrepay is a voluntary service and Centrelink customers who choose to use Centrepay can benefit from its convenience and security.

Instead of having large monthly or quarterly bills, they can be paid in manageable amounts from your Centrelink payment, making it easier for you to budget.

By using Centrepay you can pay bills like rent, telephone, electricity, gas, water, education fees, ambulance costs, child care, home care services, no-interest loans and rental of household goods.

To find out if an organisation or person is registered with Centrepay you can contact Centrelink or speak to the organisation or person you would like to pay.

Remember, this service is free. Centrepay does not charge you any fee to deduct the money from your payment, unlike other methods available for paying bills. The organisation or person to which Centrelink send your deduction is charged a fee and this fee cannot be passed on to you.

There is a minimum payment amount for Centrepay deductions and this is $10 per fortnight. However, there are some organisations that require a different minimum amount and you will need to contact the organisation you want to pay if you are unsure of what minimum amount is required.

The easiest way to start Centrepay deductions is to telephone your Centrelink office. Some participating organisations can organise your Centrepay deductions for you.

You can also go online and use Centrelink’s self service to start Centrepay deductions at www centrelink gov au or alternatively, you can complete a Centrepay deduction form.

For more detailed information about the benefits of this service I encourage you to collect a brochure from your nearest Centrelink office.

Industry Info

Hughes’ wave of success What is the median price?

IN THE REIV March Quarter Property Update you can read about median prices for Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo.

The median price of a house in most suburbs is available and if you visit www.reiv.com.au the median price of a unit in many suburbs is also available.

In some cases the median price will have increased and in others it will have decreased, but what does it mean if you are an owner, buyer or investor?

To understand what the results mean it is important to understand what a median is.

The median is not the average.

The median value is the middle price in a series of sales, where half of the sales are of lower value and half are of higher value.

For example, if 15 sales are recorded in a suburb and arranged in order from lowest to highest value, the eighth sale price is the median price.

Median prices are used rather than average prices because median prices are unaffected by a few unusually high or low prices, making them a more accurate indicator of true market activity.

The institute collects results from around 70 per cent of all residential property sales in the quarter and publishes the suburb-bysuburb results where we believe the sample is an accurate reflection of the sales activity.

In the case when there are less than 30 sales in a quarter for a suburb but it is a reasonable sample, the result is ‘starred’ as there are sufficient sales to make the result statistically reliable.

The list of suburbs is based on the list kept by the Victorian Government’s Office of Geographic Names.

THE SURF industry’s loss is the building industry’s gain after Peter Hughes was named the Geelong apprentice builder of the year last week.

Hughes, originally from Fairhaven, tried his hand at being a professional surfer before turning to an apprenticeship.

The announcement, at the Master Builders Apprentice of the Year Awards at Skilled Stadium, was reward for three years of hard work.

“It was a great surprise,” Hughes said.

“The teachers told me they had nominated me, and I went and had an interview and I knew the interview went well – but you never know with these things.

“I was rapt that the teachers acknowledged my efforts and knew that I was working hard.”

The 29-year-old is the son of renowned Aireys Inlet surfboard shaper, Howard Hughes, and worked in his father’s shop after ending his professional surfing career.

However, with the onset of winter and the exodus of tourists, Hughes re-evaluated his career path.

“I had been competing since I was about 14 and I was on the WQS (World Qualifying Series) for about three years,” he said.

“I finished surfing when I was about 23 and came back to dad’s surf shop and started working there as assistant manager.

“When it got quieter I thought about labouring around town… I just wanted some kind of qualifications.

“I asked the local landscaper and builder and things went from there.”

Hughes now works with Aireys Inlet-based Skillbeck Builders and is in the running for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year Award.

Master Builders careers pathways officer, Jarrod Flanigan, said the apprentices demonstrated diligence, determination and attention to detail.

“The Geelong Section Apprentice of the Year must be nominated by an employer or a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and then work through a lengthy selection process,” he said.

“The employer-nominated apprentice of the year is selected from a pool of apprentices nominated by local members of the Master Builders Association.

“These two are then shortlisted for the

state award.

“Several criteria are considered by the judges.

Winners must be safety minded and demonstrate an interest in further studies as part of continuous career development.

“Importantly, judges are looking for exemplary apprentices who can send the right messages to new and future apprentices about what can be achieved by completing a trade.

“Well done to the winners and I wish them all the best for their future careers in building.”

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 About midday of Friday, the day after the vessel struck, the top-gallant mast was carried away, and later in the afternoon, the upper portion of the masts fore and aft snapped off, dragging away the rigging. The little sail that was being carried, when the ship struck was blown about with the wind and torn to ribbons, and at 5 o’clock in the evening the foremast was hanging over the side. There was every indication that before morning it would go by the board owing to the fearful bumping of the ship with every wave. Nothing was saved from the ship by those on board, except clothing they were wearing at the time. Even the captains instruments were left behind. On Friday evening the Captain came into Geelong, followed by the crew and put up at the Union Club Hotel.

Does your builder offer a 100% Building Ethics Australia guarantee?

Building Ethics Australia (BEA) was formed in 2001 after the HIH collapse. The turmoil that followed was the catalyst for the founders of BEA to implement a system for the building industry that promotes fairness, ethical behaviour and aspires to enhance the image of the building industry.

BEA’s goal is to allow reputable builders to trade unhindered and enable homeowners to have their homes built with the peace of mind of knowing their builder is prepared to stand his work up to the independent scrutiny of BEA. Michael Dahm of Blue Cove Homes believes so passionately in the programme that he was 100% confident his building practices would conform to the rigorous criteria. He is one of the few Geelong builders to have BEA accreditation.

The BEA programme ensures building standards are high and builders and homeowners alike are treated fairly. This recipe builds confidence in the industry.

BEA’s quality assurance programme provides the highest level of consumer protection in the industry today. How? Simply, accredited builders subject themselves to critical independent site inspections during the construction of your home at progress payment stages.

Importantly, when you appoint a BEA accredited builder, you only make progress payments after having received a BEA authority to pay certificate.

This confirms that an independent inspection has been carried out prior to every progress payment stage, verifying all aspects of your building project.

To find our more and to receive your copy of the building ethics guarantee, contact Blue Cove Homes on 1300 858 228 or e-mail office@ bluecovehomes.com.au

Growlers goes French A PARISIAN party will hit Growlers next week when all things French are celebrated at the Torquay establishment.

For one night only, Growlers will be transformed into a French restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; complete with flair, live entertainment, wine, and, of course, fine food.

A specially prepared five-course meal will feature on the evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be held on Wednesday, May 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while renowned French guitarist and entertainer, Ced Le Meledo, will provide the entertainment.

Le Meledo was born in Paris and has been an Australian resident for the past decade.

He is renowned as a great live entertainer and with his mix of Spanish guitar, French singing and accordion playing, he will ensure an authentic French flavour on the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really looking forward to it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a great idea and I am hoping that we can create a real French atmosphere with the music, entertainment and the food that will be on offer.â&#x20AC;?

Although he was born in the French capital, Le Meledo has a rich provincial heritage flowing through his veins.

His father was from Brittany while his mother was born in Provence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brittany is a very Celtic part of France, while I will also have some songs from Provence, where my mother was from,â&#x20AC;? Le Meledo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always interested in music when I was growing up, however, neither my mother or father were musically inclined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I am not sure how I really came to get such a strong connection with music, but it has been a part of my life for a long time.â&#x20AC;?

A regular entertainer at festivals throughout the country, Le Meledo said crowd interaction will play a big

part in his performance.

He also said that while the majority of his songs will be performed in his native tongue, he can accommodate those who would prefer a song in English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the songs will be performed in French, with a little bit of Spanish and Italian as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can sing in English if requestedâ&#x20AC;Ś so we will see how the crowd is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also like to chat with the crowd throughout the performance. I like to let them know a little bit about my background and make it interactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also encourage people to get up and dance throughout the performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is a lively show and I hope thee people enjoy themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Apart from Le Meledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livee entertainment, food and fine wine will ll feature prominently on the evening.

On arrival, guests will be treated to o a glass of Champagne, before settling g in for a specially prepared five-coursee

French feast.

After canapĂŠs, diners will be treated to a typically French menu, highlighted by French Onion soup, Coq au Vin, grilled trout and rib-eye steak.

Cost is $65 per person and bookings are preferred.

For more information, drop into Growlers at 23 The Esplanade, Torquay, or phone 5264 8455.

THE PLATE

with Mary-Ellen Belleville

A dish for the blokes to cookâ&#x20AC;Ś.

THESE cooler autumn evenings leave me hankering for the last remnants of cooking outdoors before finally covering the barbecue with the onset of winter.

So while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still been able to enjoy some fairly balmy days and super sunsets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timely for one last fling of firing up the wood barbie and setting the men folk to the task of cooking a spanish dish that is traditionally cooked by menâ&#x20AC;Ś paella.

Traditionally a lunchtime meal cooked out in the fields where perhaps the last tasks after the grape harvest were being seen to, paella really should be cooked on an open fire, using vine cuttings and trimmings for from fruit trees.

This type of fuel creates a very hot, but smoky fire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smokinessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that is part of the character of paella.

The dish is also so named because the pan in which it is cooked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a wide metal pan with deep sides is called a paella â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it should have a good heavy base to disperse the heat evenly.

Invented in the Valencian region in the mid-19th century, there are many regional variations. Several

pronunciations are also possible: pie-ella for the English-speaking gringo; pie-eja in the Spanish north and some Latin countries; and pie-eya for the educated purist.

Traditional recipes also demand the addition of snails, but I have read that you can substitute several sprigs of rosemaryâ&#x20AC;Ś thank goodness!

Apparently if you were going to use snails in the paella, you would purge/feed them on rosemary a couple of days before tossing these little critters into this classic rice dish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hence you are still introducing the flavour by using rosemary.

The other ingredients can vary, but usually paella does have either chicken or rabbit, some shellfish such as mussels and prawns, perhaps some calamari. One ingredient it must be made with is saffron, which gives the rice its delightful autumnal gold colour.

rice, add salt and pepper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a good paella is well salted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and let the ingredients cook slowly over the fire, usually for 20 minutes. Add the stock only when the paella starts to burn. It is important not to boil the rice; the stock is only used to stop it sticking.

Finally garnish with the calamari, mussels and prawns.

Good paella should not be soggy; and although it does take a little bit of time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic dish to share with friends over a long Sunday lunch.

It also makes a welcome change from the barbecue, while adding to the culinary skills of the man about the house.

What could be more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blokeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; than standing around a cheery, hot smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fire, tending to it with small twigs, a cold beer in hand while letting the paella bubble away merrily in its pan?

Experience the joy of singing BELLBRAE Hall will host an evening of Singing for Fun with special guest, Anni Coyne, this Friday night.

Daylesford-based Coyne will bring her wealth of experience in singing and leading groups to Bellbrae for an evening of song and fun.

The evening will start at 6pm and run through until 8pm, and along with singing there will also be a light meal and tea and coffee – all for the bargain price of $10, or $7 for concessions.

Singing for Fun is open to anyone – no matter what your level of singing ability.

The group provides a chance for everyone to sing like nobody’s listening, and gathers the last Friday of every month not to rehearse, but to sing for the enjoyment of singing as a group.

“Everybody can sing. Singing as a group can lift hearts and minds, filling a room with the sound of many voices,” said the group’s Michele Barnes.

“This month sees a special guest leader joining the group, the joyful Anni Coyne, travelling from Daylesford.

“When leading any group of singers she does so with such infectious warmth it is near impossible not to be caught up in the vibrancy and life of her presence. Most of all, she feels it is important to inspire a sense of fun and accomplishment.”

Bringing with her a wealth of experience in singing and leading singing groups, Coyne creates a fusion of voices with short, easy-to-learn pieces, or just her unique ability to blend voices in harmonies

our view

HAVING recently re-discovered my love for Italian wines again (Italy was where I originally caught the wine bug way back in the early 1990s backpacking around Europe), I thought I’d revisit a great little value label with a great story from the southern ‘heel’ region of Italy – Puglia.

The label in question is named A.Mano, which means hand made, with the wines being entirely hand crafted from indigenous grape varieties.

The A.Mano story starts with American winemaker Mark Shannon.

Mark was working at a winery known as Calastri in Sicily in the late 90s until one of Australia’s big wine producers – BRL Hardy – took equity and installed Australian winemakers.

What to do? Meanwhile, Mark had met and fallen in love with Elvezia Sbachiero who also worked at Calastri. The story goes that Elvezia had an old uncle – ‘Giovanni’ (of course!), who had a disused winery in Puglia at San Marzano.

The enthusiastic and energetic pair thought they could make a go of things – now that Mark was out of a job – by making some wine by purchasing grapes from Giovanni’s contacts with the local Contadini (old ‘peasant’ farmers).

Of course this group had nothing but very old, dry land, low yielding, ‘sensational’ Primitivo grapes. But money was short. So, they got on the dog and bone and rung around a few wine merchants and through a number of Empson agents – Neil Empson himself (famous Italian wine importer) – agreed to pre-purchase some wine (they loved it!), and the rest, as they say, is history.

Mark’s passionate professionalism has achieved a winning combination of California-style technology and Apulian tradition and terroir. The vines are 70-80 year old hand cultivated and low yielding, still head trained as they were by the ancient Phoenicians. Fast forward to the present, and these latest releases really excite… read on.

A.Mano Puglia Primitivo 2007 ($22)

This is just the thing to kick start your interest (nay, love affair?), with Italian reds if you haven’t already indulged. This wine is vibrant, juicy and soft with rich, chewy raspberry/blueberry notes and leather/anise characters making it such an easy ‘drink me’ Italian red. There’s enough savoury edge and complexity to please any Italian aficionado. Crank up the pizza oven and crack open a bottle – salute!

Mon–Fri Lunch Specials

OPEN 7 DAYS

A.Mano Puglia Fiano - Greco 2009 ($22)

Mmm… the fact that this wine features one of my favourite white grape varieties of the moment – Fiano – was immediately impressive. Add in the eye-catching presentation and my appetite is certainly whet! Straight away, this wine was so drinkable, with the more aromatic nuances of the Fiano highlighting the complex blossom/musk characters on the nose, whilst the Greco (another classic southern Italian white grape variety), fills out the body of the wine and adds a mineral note to the wine. Together, the two blended varieties show beautiful texture and richness that belies its price point. This is a great wine for those looking for something new and interesting when it comes to white wine… check it out.

PREPARATIONS are well under way for Anglesea Performing Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upcoming play, The Medea Project.

With less than four weeks to the opening show, the experienced performing arts company has been rehearsing two nights a week to have the production ready for the May 20 unveiling.

Under the watchful eye of director Iris Walshe-Howling, the cast of 10 has worked tirelessly to have the production at its best.

The Greek tragedy of Medea is about a woman who is betrayed by her husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the play explores the notion of trust, revenge, love and desire.

It asks what brings us to make the choices we do in life? What does it mean to be marginalised from society? Why are there different rules for men and women?

The performance incorporates the use of music, dance, voice and visual projection, taking the audience through the journey of

BY NATHAN HALE FOR AN unforgettable evening of entertainment, Queenscliff’s Blues Train has got your night covered.

The legendary train – which provides a unique experience as it gently rocks its way along the Bellarine Rail Trail – has been keeping punters happy for almost two decades.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, the Blues

Train is the brainchild of Hugo Armstrong – the current chair of Tourism Bellarine.

The train holds 200 people split over four carriages, where over the space of three hours they will experience four high-class acts.

Starting at Queenscliff, patrons begin with pretrain drinks and a meal before settling back and enjoying some of Australia’s finest acts.

Drinks are available from the T-bar in the guard’s van before the train starts, as well as at all stops –

there are no bars in the carriages, however, drinks are permitted on the train.

The train runs along the old Geelong train line, stopping at Suma Park historic homestead and winery, then at Drysdale before turning around and making its way back to Queenscliff, again via Suma Park.

The train runs between August and May, and is invariably sold out months in advance.

All five shows scheduled for next month are

already sold out, however, bookings for the 20102011 season are now open.

Acts who have appeared on the train include Jimi Hocking, Andrea Marr Band, Jaimi Faulkner Band, Collard, Greens and Gravy, Ash Grunwald, Kerri Simpson, Mia Dyson, Chubby Rae and the Elevators, Chris Wilson and Dallas Frasca and her Gentlemen.

OCEAN GROVE TILING THEIR partnership might only be a little over 12 months old, but already Simon Thorn and Mark Kupper have become trusted tradesmen on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast.

The pair are joint owners of Ocean Grove Tiling, and have quickly made a name for themselves as reliable, friendly and hard working tradesmen.

Thorn started the business five years ago and last year Kupper bought a half share in the business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the pair havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back since.

Whether it is a small tiling job on a kitchen or bathroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or a larger outdoor job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thorn and Kupper have your needs covered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do all type of jobs, no matter the size,â&#x20AC;?

Thorn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one lady who rang up and said that other people had said the job was too small.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went around and had a look and found that it was just a nice sized job for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whether it is an indoor or outdoor job, big or small, we will come around and provide a free quote and then be happy to do the work.â&#x20AC;?

Ocean Grove Tiling will travel throughout the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Geelong region to provide their reliable service, something Kupper is more than happy to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved down here for the sea change,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoy it down here and can see myself retiring hereâ&#x20AC;Ś travelling around to the different places for jobs is a great way to see some of the sights.â&#x20AC;?

For more information on Ocean Grove Tiling, phone Simon Thorn on 0419 564 828 or Mark Kupper on 0439 983 046

APR 27 - MAY 03 2010 Saturn and Uranus are opposite each other again this week – the last time was back in September. Concentrate on the things that are working in your life and do all you can to solidify them, but don’t get stuck in a comfy Capricorn rut. People, attitudes and habits that have passed their used-by date will definitely have to go.

The Full Moon stimulates your intimacy zone, so it’s time to snuggle up with someone special. Single Rams – if you come on too strong, you’ll scare potential partners away. At the moment, slow and steady wins the romantic race. Don’t jump to half-baked conclusions on Sunday – make sure you find out the full facts first.

Pace yourself Cancer. If you can, avoid making important decisions as you’re liable to make choices based purely on your emotions, which are fluctuating wildly under this week’s full moonbeams. Your intuition is switched on big time, as you tune into those around you and uncover important information that others miss.

Have you been shopping up a storm when you should have been saving or paying off debt? If the answer is ‘yes’ then you can expect financial fiascos, as the Full Moon stirs up your money zone. Your motto for the moment is from Bertrand Russell “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.”

Taureans are fabulous flirters and this week, with the Full Moon activating your relationship zone, you’ll give those charisma muscles a workout as you radiate your sensual charms far and wide. Want more love and success in your life? Flutter those eyelashes (or flex those Bullish biceps) and you shall receive!

It’s not the best time to host a jolly family reunion or bring up sensitive childhood issues. The Full Moon falls in your home zone so be on domestic drama alert. Confiscate all sharp implements and choose your words carefully, as loved ones are liable to make mountains out of molehills. Creative communication is the catch-cry at work.

Things will be pretty full-on at Casa Scorpio this week as the annual Full Moon (in your sign) increases your magnetism – and your tendency to brooding, obsessive behaviour. So you’ll need to find appropriate ways to let off steam, and challenging projects to channel all your intense energy into. Resist the urge to be sarcastic.

There’s a tug of war continuing between Saturn (planet of the status quo) and Uranus (planet of change). You’re feeling super restless but don’t go overboard and throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Full Moon will also imbue you with a sense of urgency but gradual, structured modifications are what’s needed at the moment.

Twins are rarely short of inspiring ideas, and are masters at multitasking. But you can have trouble seeing projects through to a successful completion. With Mercury moving backwards (until May 12) it’s time to revise and re-do, plus complete unfinished projects and tie up loose ends. No excuses Gemini – what are you waiting for?

Villa Virgo is usually a place where efficiency reigns, routine is revered, and surprises are unwelcome. This week you’ll find that life’s complicated, partnerships are unpredictable and the rules are constantly changing, as relationship difficulties (that weren’t resolved last September) come back to test you.

A Full Moon doesn’t usually throw you! You love the rush of energy it brings so use it to shine a spotlight on your hidden strengths and secret dreams for the future. You’ll hear some startling news this week that will make your ears burn but think twice before you pass it on.

Focus on bringing professional projects to a successful conclusion.

It’s time to channel the intrepid explorer within and plan a weekend escape or overseas getaway (where you can be close to water and commune with nature). On Friday, don’t let a so-called friend lead you up the primrose path to Piscean trouble. If your inner voice tells you someone is not the real deal, make sure you listen!

Super start for Coasters SURF Coast made a great start to the 2010 Victorian State League soccer season with some good wins in the opening round.

Men Provisional 3 The Surf Coast FC Men’s Provisional 1 team scored an exhilarating 3-1 win against the highly rated Epping.

Despite going down a goal early, Surf Coast quickly settled, putting one of its own in the back of the net courtesy of driving goal from barnstorming winger, Ian Crane.

A fierce end-to-end battle then began, before Crane followed his first goal with a second, driving both the keeper and the ball into the net in steamroller fashion.

Crane continued this pressure throughout the day, with great tackles and driving moves forward, always making the opposition edgy when they tried carrying the ball.

For Surf Coast, Reece Manning, Jarrad Cayzer and Adrian Bond hardly put a foot wrong all day.

In the midfield Hector Nunez had an outstanding game, ably supported by Ben Lecornu and Jordan White, while Matt Roberts scored the final goal.

Following talks between the various water authorities, RACV and council the long-awaited water issue will be decided at this week’s council meeting.

The recommendation (as per agenda published on the Surf Coast Shire web site) being considered by council is “that council provide in principle support to licence RACV to harvest stormwater from Jan Juc Creek catchment for 10 years with an option of 10 years (exercisable after extensive review to determine the effects on the creek) subject to conditions...”. Should council to vote in favour of the recommendation, at least that is one major hurdle overcome.

The IGA matchplay final was played out between Matt Carboon & Keith Turner, with Matt winning 1 up. Well done to both finalists and thanks to Anglesea IGA for their generous sponsorship.

On Thursday, the women played stableford in steamy weather, which was rather apt as the “sultry” Barb Cook (23) won A grade from Barb Croaker 18) with 36 points. In B grade, the ex-presidents Marilyn Cross (31) and Marion Atherden 28) had 19 and 36 points respectively , while president Mrs Beatrice (34) has made a magnificent comeback from injury scoring 40 points with Lady Sandy Favre (36) second with 35 points.

Nearest-the-pins were won by Pauline Hendrie (13th), Julie Taylor (16th), Brenda Balderstone (3rd) and Margot Parton (6th)

In closing – Helen, Norm and all the Stewart family, the club community holds you in its thoughts.

round will be Saturday, May 8 with the third and final rounds on the following weekend. There is no need to complete an entry form but remember for the final round on Sunday, May 16 the leaders will be seeded, with D-grade players the first to hit off from around 11.30am.

Sunday, May 2 is the final round of the mixed foursomes championships.

Tim Sinnott and Ainsley McCallum are leading the gross event, with Gordon Collis and Jenny Cottrill leading the net event.

Wednesday’s event was a 4BBB multiplier which is a real test of friendships. There is nothing worse than when your partner proudly walks off with a four pointer but you walk off with a wipe. Even worse is when the scorer still believes four times zero equals four. Runaway winners with 94 points were Wayne Nischke and Ron

Cronin. Runners up with 83 points were John Berridge and David Steed. NTP’s went to Ron Cronin, Max Simpson and Keith Minney. Keith also won the jackpot.

Congratulations to Trenton Frost who last Friday had a net 59.

Saturday produced some tough conditions with the strong north westerly wind prevailing right through the day even though this scribe believes the morning players copped the worst of the conditions. Div 1 winner was Nick Ivens with 39 points from John Brunt 38. In div 2, Stephen May with 38 beat Matt Malone 37. In div 3, Tony Jones 42 won from Tony Mensch 40.

Anglers have a new guiding light to inland waters

Victorian anglers have long been familiar with the Guide to Inland Angling Waters of Victoria which was first written and published in 1976.

Now the executive director of Fisheries Victoria, Anthony Hurst, says a new online version of the guide has been released at www.dpi.vic.gov.au/ angling Now to be honest I had never looked at this guide to inland fishing before, but I have to say I will be referring to it more often. It’s a handy reference source, especially if you want to use it to look up our local inland waters in our area.

History

While looking up this guide I found a very interesting photo of the Anglesea River (see picture).

You will see from the picture that this shot shows the river is low with the tide obviously out, which means the mouth was open to the sea.

That means that this photo shows the estuary system actually functioning as a tidal system.

Now days, the only time the system is opened is when the council decides to do so when infrastructure is at risk from flooding.

All fishermen know when you have an estuary open to the ocean you create an environment in which a larger number of species can use the system. This leads to a healthier and better river system with a greater diversity in marine life using, living and breeding in the system.

Approximately 30 years ago, as the story goes,

a stonewall was built across the mouth of the Anglesea River to stop its flow direct to the ocean.

The story varies in many ways as to how and why this was built and as to who was responsible for its construction, the story also varies in to how it was destroyed, including locals undermining it to the more dramatic suggestion of them blowing it up!

However, the fact is the wall was built and destroyed and the remains of the wall still lay buried under the build up of sand across the mouth of the river is thus partly responsible for the system not functioning of its own accord and operating in the manner it should.

The river is one of the top bream fishing rivers in our region, where you can almost guarantee you will catch a bream, regardless of its size.

However, others can remember back to the days when whiting, trevally, mulloway and other species where in abundance in the system and coexisted in this estuary alongside the bream.

There have been numerous discussions on the Anglesea River and there will continue to be more I’m sure.

Maybe one day different fish besides bream will return.

sports club on the Surf Coast. The club prides itself on its great reputation for promoting soccer as a healthy family sport, with a special emphasis on the growing numbers of girls and women playing soccer at a competition level.

The club has become a force to be reckoned with in the Geelong Regional Football Association (GRFA). Last year, the senior men were promoted to the State League, while the senior women have won the GRFA league three times in the last five years, including last year when they won the final series.

The girls under 16 team, the girls under 14 team and the boys under 15 team were top of their leagues as well last year, with a number of the club’s players also taking home GRFA best and fairest awards.

“All in all, 2009 was a brilliant year for the club and we are looking forward to another spectacular season this year,” said club president, Joe Taylor.

Training is now well under way on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at The Quay, with matches being played on Saturdays. Home games are held at 3pm on alternate Saturdays at The Quay for the senior men and at 3pm at Connewarre Reserve for the senior women. The club is looking for a coach for the Senior Women’s team, which trains at The Quay on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Anyone interested in coaching the team is asked to urgently contact the club’s operations manager, Rory Flanagan, on 0417 083 804 or email rory.flanagan@alcoa.com.au

weighed in

Big year of soccer kicks off THIS year is a big year for soccer around the world, with thousands of soccer fans expected to flock to the 2010 World Cup Soccer taking place in South Africa in June.

A surge of interest in soccer is also very much in evidence on the Surf Coast, with the 2010 season having kicked off over the weekend and membership of the Surf Coast Football Club growing in leaps and bounds, especially amongst the junior players.

The Quay in Torquay has come alive on Saturday mornings with hundreds of budding young soccer stars as young as four, who are turning up in their soccer gear for the very popular Small-Sided Games and Academy programs, run by the club’s players.

Surf Coast FC is now the fastest growing
