HALLELUJAH The chronic shortage of child care places in Torquay is set to ease following a shire council vote to sell a portion of its land

BY HAMISH BROOKS

TORQUAY’S CHILDCARE facilities and shire coffers will get a boost following a council vote to off-load some council land to a Christian group. The Surf Coast Shire council voted on Wednesday night to accept Torquay Christian Fellowship’s offer to purchase some of the land and associated assets on the 1.6 hectare council site bordering Torquay College on Grossmans Road. Torquay Christian Fellowship plans to purchase the major portion of the shire site for use as a community facility able to accommodate worship services, seminars, training and youth events. In addition, the plan includes a not-for-profit early learning and childcare centre, to be located in

a purpose built facility constructed at the rear of the site, capable of catering for about 120 kids. The Surf Coast Times understands the council accepted a Christian Fellowship offer of $2.7m for the land, which was originally to be sold in its entirety as a 2.6 hectare block. At first, the Fellowship was looking to buy the 2.6 hectare block in conjunction with the Lions Village aged care facility, but the deal fell through. According to Mayor Dean Webster, council’s acceptance of Torquay Christian Fellowship’s offer was based on more than financial considerations. “Council was particularly impressed by the way Torquay Christian Fellowship’s bid met our mandatory physical requirements and, more importantly, our social objectives,” he said.

for some years, consequently the opportunity for us as a congregation to help meet that need in Torquay early learning and care gives a dual focus to our plans for the Grossmans Rd site.” Mayor Webster said that Torquay Christian Fellowship’s offer also requires council to subdivide the land in question to create the 1.62-hectare allotment, leaving a second allotment of approximately one-hectare, which currently houses the shire’s works depot. “Council is intending to rezone this land with the intention of permitting future residential development. “Council is effectively realising one community asset to invest in another community asset,” Mayor Webster said.

“The written submission identified a number of significant community benefits, including the creation of a new early learning and day care centre, the expansion of existing services, free space for community groups and local employment opportunities.” Christian Fellowship senior pastor Chris Rowney was pleased at the council’s decision and looking forward to a project that fitted in well with the intentions of the church and council. “The existing office building will be given a 250 seat auditorium, kitchen, children’s activity areas and multi-purpose meeting rooms and office space,” he said. “The need for more pre-school and especially long day care places in Torquay has been well publicised

MAYOR’S COLUMN Major decision on 25 Grossmans Road Two major decisions came out of last Wednesday night’s Council meeting. The first related to the sale of 25 Grossmans Road, Torquay. Advertisements have since been placed in this and other local newspapers notifying the community of our intention to sell 1.62 hectares of land – including the existing shire office building and some portables – to Torquay Christian Fellowship. Apart from financial considerations, Council was particularly impressed by the way TCF’s bid met the mandatory physical requirements and, more importantly, social objectives described in the Expression of Interest documentation. TCF’s written submission identified a number of significant community benefits that stamped it as a clear winner. Our decision now requires Council to sub-divide the land in question to create the 1.62-hectare allotment. We also plan to rezone the remaining one-hectare for residential development, given the limited interest in the property due to its current zoning as Special Use Zone 4. The community’s views on the proposed sale are being invited via the public submission process currently underway. More information about the sale and how you can make a submission can be found at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/onexhibition. htm

More community facilities planned for new precinct The second decision involved endorsing a revised masterplan for the new Surf Coast Community and Civic Precinct. The revisions are based on the outcomes of a recent opportunity study and will deliver more community amenities to meet the needs of Torquay-Jan Juc residents and the broader

Surf Coast community. With stage one nearing completion, the second stage is likely to include a range of important recreation and community facilities, especially for our local children and young people. In addition to a second AFL oval and two extra soccer pitches, an early childhood centre, cricket nets, a skate park, adventure playground and multiuse indoor stadium are all key components of the revised masterplan. An allotment of approximately 15,000 square metres at the site’s south-east end has also been identified for residential development. Council will need to go through the process of rezoning this area for residential purposes.

Umpire decides on Bunnings Last week also saw the Supreme Court hand down its decision in relation to an appeal against Bunnings’ plans to build a new store in Torquay. In effect, the court decided there was no basis for reviewing VCAT’s original decision to grant Bunnings a permit because no error of law had been made. Although I understand this latest development may cause some concern, particularly among those representatives of our local business community involved in the appeal, Council accepts the Supreme Court’s decision. Bunnings significantly amended its VCAT submission to address issues regarding the building’s design, size, siting, setback and landscaping. VCAT subsequently supported the issue of a permit for the use of the land as trade supplies and restricted retail as per the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme. Now that the country’s lead umpire has spoken, it will be important for Bunnings to ensure it complies with local planning controls and positively contributes to the social, economic and environmental fabric of the Surf Coast community.

Something different for local youth? Council’s Youth Development Team is gearing up for its new Concrete Audio Event, which aims to involve local young people in two community arts projects. The first – a street art project – will provide a great opportunity for young people between the ages of 12 to 25 to learn new artistic skills with a professional artist. Aspiring young film makers will also be able to showcase their multi-media skills in the second project: a short film competition. For more information about this interesting initiative, visit www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/youth. htm or call 5261 0634.

Around the traps this week Today marks the start of a series of community information sessions related to Council’s Small Grants Program and draft Climate Change Strategy. The first of these takes place today from 1.30pm to 3.30pm at the Spring Creek Community House in Torquay. Tomorrow it’s Anglesea and Lorne’s turn followed by Aireys Inlet on Thursday and Winchelsea on Friday. Sessions are also planned for next week in Deans Marsh (Tuesday) and Moriac (Thursday). Again, full details can be found on Council’s website with reminders also being posted on Twitter.

Have your Say I look forward to hearing from you as a Surf Coast resident or ratepayer. If you have a topic to discuss or would like more information about an item in this column, please contact me via email on dwebster@ surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Bunnings construction to commence BY HAMISH BROOKS AFTER MUCH debate, the big, green shed is coming to Torquay. Early last week, the Supreme Court dismissed a challenge to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal’s decision to allow Bunnings’ new store development on the corner of Beacon Boulevard and Surf Coast Highway, where work is expected to begin in under a month. Mitre 10 owners Evan and Sue Crick were “very disappointed” in the decision, for reasons beyond the competition Bunnings will bring to their own business. “We fight competition everyday from Bunnings stores in Geelong and other Mitre 10 stores and timber stores,” said Mr Crick, who lodged the

Supreme Court proceedings against Bunnings. “We’re not afraid of competition we just want the rules to be fair. We believe the town is big enough for the two us; the problem is the way it was done. “It was very disappointing in the fact that the Supreme Court even though they said there were reasons there they should grant leave to appeal they didn’t think they were strong enough.” The main problem the Cricks have with the development is that it is out of keeping with the spirit of the council’s planning scheme that requires buildings fronting the Surf Coast Highway to meet a standard of architectural excellence. “You can’t tell me that a shed, a big shed with massive signs is architectural excellence,” Mr Crick said. “You can look across the road at the new

council offices $45 million development and that’s architectural excellence. You can have a look at the new Catholic church and to me that’s getting close to architectural excellence. “Bunnings isn’t and that is the thing that is most disappointing.” Surf Coast Mayor Dean Webster said that Council accepted the Supreme Court’s findings and VCAT’s original decision to support the proposed Bunnings store to be located in Torquay’s West Coast Business Park. “As I understand it, VCAT’s original decision included consideration of the measures Bunnings will implement to reduce the visual impacts of the building on Torquay’s main entrance,” explained Cr Webster. “These measures include onsite landscaping

works and the setback of the building. Council may also decide in future to plant more trees in the roadside reserve along the Surf Coast Highway to help improve the area’s overall visual amenity.” Bunnings will commence construction within the next month, creating over 100 construction jobs. Once opened, the new Bunnings Warehouse will create an additional 80 jobs for local residents. Bunnings Chief Operating Officer, Peter Davis, said Bunnings is committed towards supporting local communities. “The new store has been designed specifically for the local Torquay market and is half the size of a traditional metropolitan Bunnings Warehouse. It will cover over 6000 square metres. The $19 million development includes land, buildings and fit out, and the store will have on-site parking for over 200 cars.”

INSIDE Petition to reinstate funding THIS EDITION

BY HAMISH BROOKS THE PETITIONS are piling up, filled with the signatures of Surf Coast parents worried about a lack of funding for occasional child care. Upper House member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney was in Anglesea on Wednesday morning to receive a petition at Anglesea Community House signed by over 80 members of the community who rely on the Take-A-Break funded occasional care service run there. Anglesea Community House coordinator Alex Leknius said she was very disappointed with the Baillieu government’s refusal to budge in their decision to remove the funding, but heartened by the community response to get it reinstated. “Really, when you look at it, the cost is small compared to the big community return that comes from funding the service,” she said, when handing the petition to Ms Tierney. “Removing the funding is jeopardising the service into the future. “No funding means an increase in fees that would make the service unaffordable for many residents.” Ms Tierney said the funding cut will “at best” raise the cost of occasional childcare for families and at worst cause the service to close altogether. “With the cost of living going up all the time removing funding for this basic service doesn’t make sense,” she said. “A lack of occasional care services reduces family flexibility in what they can and can’t do across a range of activities like study, recreational classes and paid work.” Winchelsea Community House coordinator Cathy Clark, whose community’s petition against the funding cut had around 90 signatures, said that the funding cut means families in remoter communities

will lose all access to occasional care. “If we lose the funding, many families in Winchelsea will be affected because there’s limited access to childcare in the area to begin with,” she said. Ms Tierney also revealed that the centres which run the Take-A-Break program may also lose their Victorian Insurance Agency funding.

“This means our not-for-profit community houses will also have to find an extra $2,600 a year for insurance costs on top of the money ripped out by the Baillieu government for occasional childcare,” she said. A number of petitions containing well over 200 signatures from four local community houses will be handed to Parliament by Ms Tierney this week.

High Tide logo winner announced

BY HAMISH BROOKS

BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

A ST LEONARDS’ family who provide 24-hour care for their son will continue to advocate for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) until it is officially in place. Ten years ago, Vanda and Keith Fear’s world was turned upside down when their son Paul suffered an acute brain injury as a 17 year-old, which left him needing 24-hour care. While the NDIS being discussed at a federal and state level (following a Productivity Commission report that recommended one) wouldn’t have changed what happened, it would have eased a burden of care few people have the strength to shoulder. “The NDIS isn’t about getting you a new house, or car, or bathroom (all of which the family needed to get following Paul’s injury) but helping you fit them out with the things you need,� said Mrs Fear. “Even in the early days it is about support and advice, having somebody to walk beside you while you’re working out how to take care of someone you love. “It’s so hard on families, many of them split up because of the pressures they are under following an injury of the sort our son suffered.� The Productivity Commission’s report into the disability services in Australia found it broken and badly in need of an overhaul. The Fear’s story – which they are sharing at a digital story event for the Summer Foundation’s Building Better Lives campaign to get young people out of nursing homes by giving their families and themselves choices about their care – is harrowing, and not done justice in this small news column. But it does highlight the value of an NDIS that will repair a safety net strung together out of various threadbare, under resourced and confused policies.

DAVID ROSSITER is the winner of this year’s Torquay High Tide Festival logo competition. Mr Rossiter’s design was selected from a large number of entries due to its eye-catching design, concept and colour, combined with the fact the logo incorporated this year’s festival theme, Awakening the Senses. Mr Rossiter of Bellbrae was pleased that his work will finally front this year’s festival after trying unsuccessfully on three other occasions. “I have tried to incorporate all five senses in the design with the piercing eyes, big ear, prominent nose and mouth, and hands. These features, along with a second face in profile, are intended to give the impression of trying to capture as much as you can – using all your senses – at this year’s festival,� Mr Rossiter said. “It’s great to finally win one.� Festival Chair Martin Duke said the decision wasn’t easy due to a strong field of entries from across the Surf Coast. “There were some really excellent entries, which made it very difficult to choose a winner,� Mr Duke said.

After a seven week stay at the Geelong Private Hospital they were told that the only option for their son was to be moved to a nursing home, but due to the severity of his injuries he did not qualify for any type of rehabilitation. This was an unacceptable situation for the Fear family, so they brought Paul home, an action they would have always taken, if not quite so soon after his injury. “By way of comparison, a person who suffers a severe brain injury in a car accident will be covered for full care and assistance for life,� Mrs Fear said. “We brought Paul home following four weeks of therapy co-payed for by ourselves and our private health insurer, where we learnt how to

care for Paul who was still in a partial coma with a tracheotomy and a peg tube. “We wouldn’t have it any other way now, but we do want a consistent level of support which allows us the same choices other families have and assurances that when we’re not here someone will care for Paul, and we want it to be the same for others who are going through what we have gone through,� Mrs Fear said. The NDIS is being hailed as the biggest social-economic reform since the introduction of Medicare and will improve the quality of life of hundreds of Bellarine Peninsula families.

WILL YOUR FEDERAL MEMBER VOTE FOR YOUR FAMILY’S HEALTH?

You deserve to know for sure. Whatever you might think of your local Federal Member, if they are voting for means testing of the 30% Rebate on Private Health Insurance, they are voting for something that will hurt your budget and your family. An independent report* has found that if the Gillard Government moves ahead with its plan to means test the 30% Rebate on Private Health Insurance, 1.6 million people will withdraw from hospital cover over five years, and 4.3 million people will downgrade their hospital cover. What’s more, 2.8 million people will withdraw from General Treatment Cover over five years, and 5.7 million people will downgrade their General Treatment Cover. If you use the private health system you’ll be hurt as your cover will cost more. If you rely on public hospitals you’ll have to wait longer as the system breaks down. Any health issues your family suffers will hurt more as you pay extra and wait longer. If you don’t want your premiums to rise and public hospital waiting lists to get even longer, tell your local Federal Member to vote against means testing the 30% Private Health Insurance Rebate.

In Corangamite, call your Federal Member on 03 5243 2400 to make sure the Private Health Insurance Rebate is maintained and your family protected.

Walking the dog made easy BY LUKE GRIFFITHS THE SURF Coast Shire has released a new brochure that aims to make it easier for residents to understand regulations concerning the walking of dogs in the region. The brochure overrides nine pre-existing individual township booklets. Entitled Regulations on the Surf Coast: an introduction to off leash areas for dogs, the new brochure highlights the dog controls that apply within all major Surf Coast townships, including offleash areas and dog-free zones. A key aspect of the brochure reminds owners of the need to keep their dog on a leash when not in one of the designated offleash areas. “Council recognises that dogs are an important part of many people’s lives, particularly here on the Surf Coast, which has one of Victoria’s highest rates of dog ownership,” Mayor Dean Webster said. “Previously, a dog owner wanting information about where they could walk their dog anywhere in

the shire would need nine separate brochures. All that information is now contained in one simple, user friendly brochure,” Cr Webster said. It also hoped that the uniformity of the dog walking brochure will save council money. “Apart from being of assistance to local and visiting dog owners, combining nine brochures into one means the new brochure is also much more costeffective to produce,” Cr Webster said. Torquay resident and dog-owner Ildy Parrello said she didn’t have any issues with the current regulations concerning dog walking, saying it was owners who could not control their dogs who are the biggest issue. “As long as the dog is well behaved, which mine is, then everything should be fine. It’s just that a few dog owners have no control over their pet, which can often be annoying,” Ms Parello said. The new brochure is available online (www. surfcoast.vic.gov.au/dogreview.htm) and from all Surf Coast Visitor Information Centres and from the Council offices in Grossmans Road, Torquay.

Wye River pathway receives $20,000 funding boost BY LUKE GRIFFITHS THE CONSTRUCTION of the Wye River pathway has been given a $20,000 boost after the Colac Otway Shire announced the allocation of its Small Towns Improvement Program (STIP) funds. It is proposed that the new pathway will be within the Wye Valley Caravan Park and Wye River Public Recreation Reserve, extending from the boardwalk to the end of the caravan park on

surfcoasttimes.com.au

the south bank of the river. Construction of 500 metres of exposed aggregate path will be on the location of the existing river walk. The aggregate path would define the river walk to campers who often place tents and equipment over the path. “The new pathway will provide a clearly marked trail for walkers to follow and feel comfortable when walking through the caravan park and beyond,” said Doug McNeill, Colac Otway Shire Acting General Manager of Sustainable Planning and Development.

“The non-slip surface will ensure the safety of walkers as the current surface is slippery when wet, as well as providing safe pedestrian access from the caravan park to the foreshore.” The council encouraged local communities to submit funding applications for infrastructure projects that would enhance small town amenities across the Shire. The proposed STIP projects must result from a Township Master Plan or Community Infrastructure Plan and be of a priority to the local community.

“Council’s Economic Development and Infrastructure Units are to be commended for the way in which they have engaged with local communities to implement this (STIP) program,” said Colac Otway Shire Mayor Brian Crook. Other projects that received funding from STIP included a barbeque area and rotunda for Beeac Park, a Cliff Young memorial at Beech Forrest, a tourist information sign in Birregurra, a rotunda in Duverney Street, Cressy, and an upgrade to the Carlisle River barbeque shelter shed.

Huffy Humphrey LAST WEEK we published an article poking a bit of fun at our Surf Coast Shire councillors, following the release of their allowance expenditure figures for last financial year. Some councillors saw the funny side, others did not. We regret that councillor Humphrey did not, but don’t believe our light hearted jibes suggested he claimed travel expenses for travelling the three kilometres between his home and the council offices – a serious breach of the Surf Coast Shire’s code of conduct for councillors. Councillor Humphrey’s travel expenses can be explained by the frequent travel he undertook around the shire to meet residents at locations as distant as Winchelsea and Lorne. Councillor Humphrey kindly informed the paper that councillor’s cannot claim for travel expenses for any council business-related journey under 8 kilometres (or 10 kilometres; he mentioned both in his letter). Councillors who drive a car powered by four cylinders or fewer can claim 82.08 cents a litre. Councillors who drive a six cylinder car or larger – which we understand is the case for councillor Humphrey – may claim 99.62 cents a kilometre for travel over 10 kilometres. This means councillor Humphrey travelled – having been in the job 10 months – a touch over 6,800 kilometres on council business, the equivalent of 94 round trips to Lorne, or about 126 round trips to Winchelsea if he took the shortest route. There are roughly 300 days in ten months, meaning Councillor Humphreys travelled over 22 kilometres a day on average for council business, this includes weekends. In keeping with the tone of our previous week’s article we perhaps should have poked fun at councillor Humphrey’s well-thumbed drivers’ log book, or well-worn sheepskin drivers-seat cover. We did not mean to suggest that councillor Humphrey had done anything wrong, but to merely report the truth and provide fair comment on a matter of public interest in a humorous and engaging way.

Evan Crick, co-owner of Torquay Mitre 10, shows off a rewards scheme developed by he and his staff, which is going to be adopted across the Mitre 10 network of stores.

Reward them and they will come BY HAMISH BROOKS A LOCAL businessman has developed a loyalty scheme so successful it is likely to be adopted by Mitre 10 in their network of stores across the nation. According to Evan Crick, who has privately owned Torquay’s Mitre 10 store with his wife Sue since 1988, the company has always struggled with its loyalty scheme due to its clumsy application process so they’ve developed their own, called “Mighty Big Rewards”. “We realised that handing out hard copy forms

and encouraging customers to fill them out at home resulted in poor return levels,” Mr Crick said. “We addressed this by giving customers instant first purchase credits that would be activated once forms were submitted.” Mr Crick said the real spike in membership came when they decided to alter the loyalty card itself. “Too often customers were missing out on points due to the cards being left at home, or even lost. “We changed the credit-card style to a

combination card made up of a credit card and two mini key-ring cards. As soon as we did, point accrual shot up across the board. “I also have to credit the exceptional work of my enthusiastic team of staff who have really contributed to the schemes success.” The Cricks introduced the Mighty Big Rewards program in 2010, and in a year and a half amassed an astounding 4500 members, which equates to about a third of the entire Torquay/Jan Juc population. “Our expectations are still to grow it and make it better,” Mr Crick said.

GORCC Budget benefits Lorne BY SAM SUENDERMANN

Nancy Cole and Brenda Balderstone of the Surf Coast Cancer Council help raise money for cancer awareness and treatment at Torquay’s IGA supermarket last Friday.

Daffodil Day a blooming success BY LUKE GRIFFITHS SURF COAST residents dug deep into their pockets to help support the 25th anniversary of Daffodil Day last Friday, raising more than $4000 for the fight against cancer. Supermarkets and shopping centres across the region were the site for numerous fundraising stalls, which sold items such as brooches,

pens, key rings and of course daffodils – the international symbol of hope for those touched by cancer. Daffodil Day is the largest national fundraising event of its kind in the southern hemisphere, raising essential funds for cancer research, prevention and support services. “Everything went better than expected. It was (the money raised) our best year on record,”

Margo Davey, Surf Coast Cancer Council Unit Leader, said. “I would personally like to thank our 20 volunteers who worked across the Surf Coast and of course I would like to thank everyone who donated money in aid of such a good cause.” Last year’s Daffodil Day raised $9.1 million nationally, with this year’s target $9.5 million.

FUNDING OF more than $1 million is set to benefit further development in Lorne during the coming 12 months. The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) has allocated $1.1 million in total capital expenditure for its 2011-2012 budget and is in excess of $4.8million with key projects such as the Fishermans Beach Redevelopment and the Surf Coast Walk headlining the budget. GORCC Chief Executive Richard Davies said significant funds had been allocated to several Lornebased projects. “The budget demonstrates our commitment to the sustainable management of coastal reserves and caravan parks, and enhancing experiences for both locals and visitors,” Mr Davies said. The Lorne Foreshore Caravan Park received the most amount of funding with $745,000 to go towards upgrading its facilities including a new amenities block and refurbished units. “Investment into our caravan parks is therefore important and is necessary to not only guarantee our revenue stream and provide a great experience for campers, but to bring as many visitors into the parks as possible and support local tourism,” Mr Davies added. The run down North Lorne Lions Park toilet block has been allocated $160,000 for the redevelopment of its facilities and fisherman along the Erskine River can look forward to fishing platforms with an allocation of $90,000. Mr Davies said initiatives such as environmental education programs and environmental protection projects would also continue to receive funding. “Every year we expend about $4million on operating the caravan parks and caring for the coast while the remainder, often supplemented by grants, is used for key projects and environmental work,” he said.

Young guns eyeing cup BY HAMISH BROOKS THE NEXT super-group of footballers to come through the Torquay College system are playing off in the state championship final this week. The Grade 5 and 6 boys team have swept all before them this season, arriving at the Grand Final unbeaten and with an average winning margin well in excess of seven goals. According to co-coach Darren Findling, the standard of footy is the highest you’re likely to see from junior age footballers. “It’s definitely the highest standard I’ve seen from a group their age playing together,” he said. “They play with a smaller ball, so they kick long drop punts and they’re taking hangers all over the ground. “The thing that stands out about them is they’re a really great team that give an even contribution. “That said there are six or seven absolute guns who have been trying out for the Victorian side. “Everybody who watches them says they’re the next super group coming through.” The last Torquay College sides to play off in the Grand Final featured Nathan Ablett and Travis Boak, and there’s a good chance some of the players in this side will join them on AFL lists in the future. To make the final, the boys have played off against other sides in the region, zone and won their way to the Grand Final by winning all four rounds at the Western Region Championships. On Thursday, they’ll play in a round robin featuring two other sides, one Melbourne based and one from the eastern region. Whichever side wins both its matches will win the flag, if all sides finish with one win, percentage will decide the premier.

The next supergroup: Dane Hollenkamp, Luke Thompson and Flynn Marshall have eyes on the footy, with coaches Darren Findling and Brad Ross.

Mozzies being monitored BY DAVID FINLAYSON MONITORING across the Bellarine is well underway to combat diseases potentially spread by mosquitoes, including the flesh-eating illness Bairnsdale ulcer. Last summer residents reported mosquitoes reached almost plaque proportions in some areas of the Bellarine including Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads which are near natural swamps and wetlands. Bairnsdale ulcer, which has appeared on the Bellarine in increasing numbers in recent years, is thought to be linked to mosquitoes. Barwon Health deputy director of infectious diseases, associate professor Daniel O’Brien said that in the last two months 23 cases of Bairnsdale ulcer had been reported on the Bellarine. “That’s a significant spike when we normally average 10 to 20 cases a year,” Prof O’Brien said. He said the illness was originally diagnosed on the Bellarine in the Portarlington and St Leonards area in 1998, but had since spread to Point Lonsdale and in 2005 to Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads. He said it had not yet been detected in Torquay or along the surf coast. Following the wet winter months Bellarine residents are also being asked to check their own backyards for stagnant water in hollows or containers which could become breeding areas for mosquitoes. City of Greater Geelong manager health and local laws Steve Sodomaco said the council’s mosquito monitoring and control program could not eliminate mosquitos altogether. “They are part of the natural environment and breed in the protected wetlands and salt marshes that surround the Bellarine peninsula,” he said.

"We will continue to monitor breeding sites around the municipality and undertake treatments as necessary from now on.” Mr Sodomaco said council used two biological control products for aerial treatment - Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and s-Methoprene. He said both products had been tested and used extensively in mosquito control across Australia and internationally. Private land is not sprayed unless specific arrangements have been made with council. Mr Sodomaco said residents should take personal protective measures against mosquitoes, including the application of insect repellents and covering up when outdoors for any length of time. He said pools of stagnant water around homes and in backyards should be emptied and cleaned up. “These can quickly become breeding areas for mosquitoes, and can cause significant localised problems,” Mr Sodomaco said.

Live bar magic A LOCAL telco business is taking on the big boys with a new renovation and installation of a live bar in their Bell Street shop. According to Leading Edge Telecoms’ dealer manager Sharen Mierzejewski people were abandoning their shop for bigger dealers in Waurn Ponds that featured live bars where they could test what they were buying. “Some of our competitors have live bars and people would come in and see a product but head to another shop where they could try before they bought,” she said. A live bar enables customers to try the handsets as live units prior to purchase or recontracting, and as of September 1, there will be a bar available for use in the Bell Street shop. “We understand that a two-year contract commitment can be a very long time if the handset chosen does not meet expectations and hope that by having the opportunity to try the handsets in store, that we will be able to match handset features and performance to customer needs,” Mrs Mierzejewski said “The handsets on display will include the Samsung Galaxy SII , HTC handsets, Motorolla handsets and the Motorolla Xoom tablet and ZTE tough phone.” Of all the products the Motorolla Zoom tablet is a product that Mrs Mierzejewski is particularly enthused about as it offers an alternative to an iPad and allows her shop to compete with bigger computer retailers. For over 15 years, Leading Edge Telecoms have been a Telstra Premium Dealer focused on delivering solutions to customer needs and objectives.

Census wraps up

Sharen Mierzejewski of Leading Edge Telecom stands in front of a number of products that will be featured in the stores new Live Bar.

MOST OF Australia’s 29,000 Census Collectors are wrapping up after more than a month of delivering and collecting Census forms from households around the country. Head of the Census Population program, Paul Lowe, says this year’s Census Collectors have played a key role in planning for Australia’s future. “Overall, our Collectors have done an outstanding job, often in the face of adverse conditions and difficult circumstances. Collectors are the face of the Census and the backbone of the operation and their hard work has contributed to the success of the 2011 Census,” Mr Lowe says. Mr Lowe says it’s not too late for people who were in Australia on Census night, August 9, 2011, to get their form back to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and be accurately counted. “Taking part in the Census is compulsory. If you still have your form, I urge you to mail it back to us or complete it online using eCensus. Call the Census Inquiry Service on 1300 338 776 to order a pre-paid mail back envelope or to obtain the necessary access codes for the eCensus,” Mr Lowe adds. People can mail their form to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census, Reply Paid 8633, Melbourne VIC 8060. So far around 30 per cent of the population has chosen to complete the Census online using eCensus. The eCensus remains open until September 5. The first results of the Census will be released in June 2012. For more information visit www.abs.gov.au/census

Hard work to hold court BY HAMISH BROOKS TORQUAY College students were treated to an inspirational speech from one of Australia’s most famous basketball players on Friday. Chris Anstey, in town to catch up with friend and WNBL star Deanna Smith, a teacher at Torquay College, spoke of the value of working hard at a special assembly for year 7, 8 and 9 students.

The former Olympian, Dallas Mavericks player and Melbourne Tigers captain said that opportunities will present themselves in unlikely moments for the students as they grow and for them to always be doing their best because they never know who’ll be watching. “I didn’t play basketball until I was 17 and even then it was only to fill in for my brother,” he said. “He explained the rules to me on the way there

Chris Anstey with students Caleb Williams, Maddison Neilsen, Jye Boyle, and WNBL star and Torquay College relief teacher Deanna Smith

and I went out and did my best. I could have slacked off and mucked around for forty minutes but I tried my hardest and finished the game with 52 points. “It just so happened that there was a basketball scout there who liked what he saw and he got in touch with me. “I’d never thought about a career in basketball until that point.” It took him seven years of hard work, training for

six to seven hours a day, to be drafted to the NBA. “When I got out on the court I looked every player in the eye and believed I deserved to beat them because I had worked harder than all of them to be there. “I only got to play against Michael Jordan once while I was in the NBA and I beat him. “I can say I’ve never been beaten by Michael Jordan,” Anstey said.

Holding court: Chris Anstey talks to Torquay College students on the merits of hard work and always doing your best - because you never know who’ll be watching.

The Great Ocean Road in song BY LUKE GRIFFITHS THE HISTORY of the Great Ocean Road will be told in song and images this Friday night, September 2nd, at the Geelong Arena as part of the Unlock the Past Victorian Expo. Geelong-based duo Colin Mockett and Shirley Power will be performing Hit the Road Digger on the opening night of what is touted to be the largest exhibition of family history, genealogy and local history ever held in Victoria. The name of the production refers to approximately 3000 returned servicemen who helped construct the road in the wake of the First World War, which took more than a decade to complete. “Despite small wages and being placed in workgangs the workers were incredibly cheerful and happy, especially so considering the Great War had ended and the constant fear of being shot or killed was no longer there,� Mr Mockett said. “The music at the time, with songs like Happy Days are Here Again and On the Sunny Side of the Street, was very joyful and reflective of the anticipation and hope during the 1920s.� Nowadays the Great Ocean Road is regarded as one of the world’s most picturesque coastal routes and is a major tourism draw card for the region – something that politicians at the time didn’t foresee. Both Federal and State governments failed to plan, build or fund the proposed development, so Howard Hitchcock, prominent local figure and Geelong

Convener of the Geelong and District Historical Association, Susie Zada, agreed that Hitchcock’s contribution to the region was enormous. “Not only was he Mayor of Geelong but he personally helped finance the project, often dipping into his own pocket when money run out,� said Ms Zada. “I will certainly be seeing the play.

Andrew is Dad of the Year BY LUKE GRIFFITHS ANDREW MITCHELL has been named this year’s Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula Father of the Year after his nine-year-old son Brayden nominated him for the award. Sons and daughters across the region were asked to describe in 50 words or less what made their father the best. Brayden’s submission read: “Our dad’s the best dad in the whole world. There are five kids in my family and dad is very involved in all our lives, from changing night nappies to driving lessons. Dad is fantastic with our special needs sibling. Mum says dad is her rock in life – he rocks.� Mr Mitchell was both surprised and happy to be recognised, saying that being a father is his greatest joy in life. “I’m stoked, absolutely rapt. Good on Brayden for nominating me,� Mr Mitchell said. “It (being a father) does keep me very busy, especially with five kids, although one child moved away this year for uni.� As part of the award Mr Mitchell won a $300 flight voucher from Tiger Moth World. “We haven’t decided what to do with the voucher, but a family flight over the Twelve Apostles would be great – Brayden’s keen to get up there,� Mr Mitchell said. Mr Mitchell’s wife, Danielle, was understandably delighted when told about the award. “I’m very honoured and very proud of Andrew. He’s a great husband as well as a great dad.�

Telstra survey shows dads like Facebook ACCORDING TO a recent Telstra survey, onein-five Australian dads say that visiting their child’s Facebook page is their favourite thing to do on the social networking site. And in what could be seen as revenge for this intrusion, 10 per cent of dads have been ‘de-friended’ by their child. Duane Dalton, Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager for Geelong and the Surf Coast, said dads were increasingly communicating with their children via new technology, such as tablet computers and smart-phones. “More than half the dads surveyed said they were considering buying a tablet PC in the next 12 months,” Mr Dalton said. With social networking playing an integral role in communication and information sharing, parents were often surprised at how much they learnt about their children on sites such as Facebook. “Online, everyone has one degree of separation, and it’s the search button. Families should be careful about how much personal information they display and if you’re worried about certain people trying to befriend you, simply adjust your privacy settings and make yourself invisible to them.” Other findings of the Telstra survey included: • One-third of Aussie dads use Facebook on a daily basis compared to more than 75 per cent of mums; • Almost 20 per cent of dads admitted to being worried about doing something embarrassing on Facebook compared to 10 per cent of mums; • More than 60 per cent of dads remain concerned about their online privacy and security compared to 52 per cent of mums.

Jack in the pack BY HAMISH BROOKS A ST KILDA footballer presented his junior club with a number of new Sherrins on the weekend. Jack Steven presented the footballs after watching his brother play for Lorne Under 14s in their first semi-final. Club president Michael Balderas was on hand to receive the footballs on behalf of the club. “Jack won a NAB rising star nomination during the year and as part of the prize his junior club,

which is us obviously, get some footies,” he said. “We found it hard to organise the presentation down at the club during the year because Jack has a lot of commitments at St Kilda. “When we heard he was coming out to watch his brother George (who won the league best and fairest this year and appears on track to emulate his brothers feats at AFL level) play we thought we may as well do it now.” Mr Balderas thanked the AFL and NAB for the donation of the footballs.

Volunteers sought for big bike ride

BICYCLE Victoria is calling for volunteers for Australia’s largest bicycle holiday - The RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride. Bicycle Victoria's volunteer coordinator, Cameron Foxwell, said volunteers were needed for a variety of jobs from catering through to medical, route marshals, luggage and providing information. “Volunteers make the ride happen – without them, there would be no RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride, it is that simple,” Mr Foxwell said. The 590 kilometre cycling holiday will start in Swan Hill on November 26, along the Murray River for three days to Echuca, continuing through historic gold towns, before riding triumphantly into Castlemaine, on December 4. This year, volunteers will look after around 4,000 cyclists who will take part in the legendary ride. Mr Foxwell said volunteering on a major event such as the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride was a great way of meeting new people and developing life-long friendships. “You have a whole heap of fun getting

involved in a fantastic event. “Volunteers get to learn new skills, work in a team with lots of camaraderie. This can lead to career opportunities and valuable experience in the event industry. “It has to be a win-win for the volunteer and Bicycle Victoria. Beginning as a volunteer myself, I appreciate the amazing satisfaction you get when giving back to the community. For others it is an opportunity to develop new skills. Others volunteer on the ride to share the experience with family and friends that are riding.” Volunteers get all their meals included (except rest day lunch) and a volunteer uniform. Bicycle Victoria also provides free transport to and from the event. “We find many volunteers treat it as a holiday, even though they must help, this is because it is literally a week in another world.” For more information visit www.greatvic. com.au and follow the links to volunteering. Apply directly online or call Bicycle Victoria on 1800 616 600.

Lorne displayed in Geelong ONE OF the most important pieces of Australian art, Ocean Blue, Lorne (1921), will be proudly displayed in the Geelong Gallery. At an auction in Sydney last week, Sotheby’s Australia described the painting as one of the most famous of the five paintings completed by Arthur Streeton during a family visit to Lorne in the early months of 1921. The catalogue entry also recalls that the work was later acclaimed by fellow landscape artist, Harold Herbert, as ‘a masterpiece in colour and tone‌(whose) whole composition is perfect’. Geelong Gallery Director Geoffrey Edwards said acquiring the celebrated painting is a coup for the Gallery as it drew the interest of rival collectors around Australia. “This much-sought after Impressionist painting by Australia’s most famous landscape painter, is a magnificent new acquisition for a collection recognised as one of the finest regional collections in the country.â€? Mr Edwards said. A strength of the Gallery’s permanent collection is its holdings of historic paintings of Geelong and its wider region, including Frederick McCubbin’s A bush burial (1890), Louis Buvelot’s On the Woods Point Road (1872) and Eugene von GuĂŠrard’s famous View of Geelong (1856). The Gallery bid up to $230,000 to secure the work and, as is usual in such cases, will seek community donations to add to existing funding commitments made by the Gallery and its Foundation. Donations (by cheque to the Geelong Art Gallery Foundation) are tax deductible. Ocean Blue, Lorne will be available for public viewing at the Gallery at a date to be advised in the coming weeks. Arthur Streeton’s Ocean Blue, Lorne painting was recently purchased by the Geelong Gallery.

A holistic approach to design TORQUAY ARCHITECT Lachlan Shepherd is a young, innovative and enthusiastic firm and takes a holistic approach to building design. Each project is viewed as a sculptural element that is carefully planned to integrate seamlessly with its surroundings, and respond to its specific environmental conditions. Lachlan takes pride in the ability to consider the individual needs of each client and undertake small to medium projects across all sectors. “I was born and raised in Torquay and still reside here today. This places me in a unique and relevant position to respond to the specific environment of the Surf Coast as I’ve seen the evolution of Torquay and the region over a long period.” Lachlan is a registered architect and his work is strongly influenced by a modernist aesthetic. “We began operation in March this year and for the past decade I have worked with a leading Geelong-based, award winning architectural firm working closely with

local respected builders.” One of Lachlan’s current projects is a three-stage house that increases in floor area over time as the needs of the occupants change. The first stage can be conceptually likened to a caravan, providing the young owners with the minimum living requirements needed when starting out. Stage Two involves the design of a large covered deck, effectively doubling the usable living area and catering for the occupants growing family and outdoor entertaining. Stage Three adds a third bedroom, second bathroom and a new open plan kitchen, dining and living zone allowing for a children’s rumpus are where the main living area was before. Oversized sliding doors create a sense of privacy in each area as the family grows. “I look forward to working on all your building and design needs.” Find out more about Lachlan Shepherd Architects Pty Ltd at www.lachlanshepherd.com.au

Central Walk release Stage 2 land STRONG SALES have forced developers of Central Walk, Drysdale to release Stage 2 much earlier than originally scheduled after exceptional sales within Stage 1. The new release of lots has been brought forward to September 3 due to public demand. Since being launched one month ago, Stage 1 at Central Walk Drysdale is now almost all sold out and Estate Sales Manager Lloyd Moulton attributes the fantastic success of Stage 1 to two main factors. Firstly, the proximity of the Estate to the Centre of Drysdale has been of particular appeal. Nowhere else on the Bellarine, or even in Geelong, are homeseekers able to buy into a master planned estate with only a 200m walk to the centre of town. From first home buyers right through to empty-nesters and retirees, the locational advantages of having such nearby amenities is proving to be a highly soughtafter convenience. The second reason for Central Walk’s sales success is in large part thanks to the generous block sizes on offer. The average lot in Central Walk is over 600sqm and could be considered somewhat of a rarity in this day and age. On the urban fringe of

Drysdale at Jetty Rd, lot sizes are closer to 400sqm. That extra bit of room at Central Walk makes a whole lot of difference. According to developer Ross Closter, the lots in Stage 2 are some of the biggest in the estate. “There are half a dozen or more blocks which are larger than 800sqm! This is almost double the size of some of the blocks in Jetty Rd. These properties will also have the advantage of backing on to a reserve and waterway,� Mr Closter said. Estate Manager and Sales Agent Lloyd Moulton have also had significant interest from investors. “Unlike the urban fringe of towns where there seems to be an endless supply of lots, investors are recognising that once these lots are gone there will never be another opportunity to buy so close to town - thus putting upward pressure on prices and capital growth.� A central feature of Stage 2 is the magnificent stone entry bridge over the lineal parkland waterway, adding a pleasant sense of arrival as you drive in. All of this is set to ensure that Stage 2, set for release on 3rd September, will sell just as quickly as the first.

THE COUNCIL of Australian Governments is currently asking the community for its laws on making it mandatory when selling or leasing a home to provide a certificate that outlines the property’s energy, greenhouse and water performance. It is suggested that if buyers know this detail they will be more likely to choose a home that shows good environmental performance, and the seller will be more likely to take action to reduce the home’s energy and water use. These ideas are being tested and the community has until September 12 to comment. It is generally agreed that reducing a home’s water and energy use is a good idea, as shown by the actions taken by hundreds of thousands of people over the past decade. But in assessing the government’s idea, it’s necessary to consider what buyers look for and how much of a difference disclosing this information will make. The REIV commissioned a survey of 1000 people in 2007 and asked the question; “If you were looking for a property to purchase what would be your most important consideration?� Number one on the list was price, second was location and third (in many ways another component of the ‘location’ idea) was proximity to shops, schools and transport. People were also asked a separate question about the importance of water and energy saving features. Reflecting natural concerns about the environment, a substantially high 93 per cent said that those features were important to them. Clearly there is a high level of interest in making homes greener and there is an increasing number of homes marketed partly on the basis of their having water and energy saving features. However, the survey – and REIV Members’ experience – shows that buyers are more likely to make decisions based on the inescapable factors of price and location.

YOUR GUIDE TO BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION ON THE SURF COAST & BELLARINE

Livorno - an impressive display One of Simonds Homes’ latest designs, the Livorno, certainly impresses. THE ELEGANT 31.64sq home, on display at Grovedale and featuring a St Ives facade with a grand front portico has four bedrooms and two living areas. It suits a 16m wide block and offers a range of living areas for entertaining or relaxing with the family. Textured wallpapers feature in this spacious, carpeted formal lounge, which has a gas log fire with traditional mantel and timber blinds. The lounge flows through to a large open living area, with double sliding doors opening to an indoor/outdoor entertaining

area that extends to an outdoor kitchen/barbecue area. The stylish kitchen has an island bench with breakfast bar, 900mm stainless steel appliances and tiled splashback. There’s a large central dining area big enough for relaxing and entertaining A study is conveniently placed off the front entry, making it ideal for those operating a home business, while the master bedroom is also zoned at the front of the house. The retreat and generously sized tiled ensuite are open spaces giving a greater air of spaciousness.

A timber twin-bowl vanity, deep bath and over sized shower with glass door are features, the toilet also with separate access. Three additional double sized bedrooms complete the home, each with build in robes. The laundry has a bench space, built in cupboards and outdoor access. This display home floor plan is available as standard or with additional ‘as displayed’ extras so it is best to discuss needs with the friendly sales consultants on site. Two other homes are also on display, the double storey Cleo and single storey Valencia.

GEELONG BUILDING SPOTLIGHT THIS WEEK:

Local Building Advice with Rohan Smith

The Block.

When looking at buying a block of land to develop, it’s good to do your homework. Narrow or sloping blocks may seem like the perfect solution for your budget, however building on these blocks can often end up costing you more than developing a regular block.

“Before you buy or build, get your site costs upfront. That way there are no nasty surprises and you can make informed decisions.” Call Rohan and the team at GJ Gardner Homes on 5221 1447 to discuss your plans to build in Geelong. surfcoasttimes.com.au

Conway’s soothing energies DEBORAH Conway’s reputation is sure to draw a huge crowd to Drysdale’s Potato Shed on Fathers’ Day, where she will begin her new Victorian tour. Conway is known for exploring new sounds and styles and - with a career spanning 30 years in the music industry - she’s a powerful presence. She continues to fascinate audiences and has teamed with her partner Wylie Zygier for what she promises to be an intoxicating afternoon of entertainment. Conway and Zygier’s album, Half Man Half Woman, chronicles love in the middle ages, life in the 21st century and gives equal weight to an eight minute rant, a 90 second instrumental miniature and a song sung by three young daughters. Half Man Half Woman received great reviews when it was released in 2010 and was accompanied by a four-month tour culminating in a support slot for Leonard Cohen. Conway said the album captures where she is in life. “The album represents where I feel I am as a person and as a musician ... a woman half way through her life, having explored a number of different kinds of music and returning to a soothing place that expresses exactly who I am,� she said. Reviews for Conway and Zygier’s show include: “Right from the beginning this talented musical duo generate a powerful energy that both leaves the audience breathless and gives them the space to enjoy...� ArtsHub review: The Toff In Town, Melbourne. “If there was ever an Australian act that could be said to have maintained professional integrity alongside lyrical honesty in the wake of mainstream commercial popularity, Deborah Conway is easily that artist.� Faster Louder review: Tilley’s, Canberra. Conway and Zygier will be performing at Drysdale’s Potato Shed on Sunday, September 4 at 2pm. Tickets cost $24, $19 for concession and $18 for groups of 10 or more. Bookings: phone 5251 1998 or visit any Geelong customer service centre or www.geelongaustralia. com.au/potatoshed Deborah Conway and partner Wylie Zygier will be performing at the Potato Shed, Drysdale on Fathers’ Day.

CORKS CREW CELLARS

A Supermodel Wine THE SPIEL for the wines featured below sounds all warm and fuzzy – in their own words, it’s all about creating the ultimate feel good wines where everything’s “nourished‌and allowed to flourish naturally. No stimuli, no artificial fertilisers, no hormones, no nasty preservatives‌harvested by the moonâ€?‌ hmmm, it all sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Then one day, to top it all off, they get a call from some bright young girl saying how much she loves their wines and would like to buy some and promote it on her blog etc‌cool, no worries, what’s your name again? Miranda, Miranda Kerr‌(insert screeching tyres)‌ What? Yep, the supermodel. Since then her endorsement (guaranteed to put a smile on any marketers face) has seen demand in the US go through the roof after being featured on her website early in March this year. ORGANIC ONE is a certified organic/bio-dynamic producer situated on a 112 ha property owned and run by the Bonic family located up in Jerilderie in southern NSW, along the Billabong Creek. Croatian immigrants Jure and Eve Bonic arrived in Australia in 1960, later establishing the vineyard in 1970 to become pioneers in the organic winemaking scene, which today sees them as the largest Certified Bio Dynamic Vineyard in Australia, and they even boast a 9ha wildlife sanctuary on the property as well. Sons Frank and Johnny are running the show these days and continue the vision set down by their parents to produce and promote their pure, ‘clean’ and ‘green’ wines. A great many producers are ‘going green’ and adapting their approach in the vineyard and winery, however not all go through the very lengthy and intense certification process, yet still practice the methods involved. This is all fine and good until you get a vintage like the one experienced this year in which the wet weather played havoc in nearly all our major wine regions in Australia (except Margaret River in W.A. where it was quite dry), producing perfect conditions for diseases like powdery mildew. So, unless you sprayed copper sulphate etc, your crop would suffer. In fact, the guy who distributes the ‘Organic One’ wines and has a portfolio that specialises in organic and biodynamic wines said 90 percent of his producers won’t have anything to sell from their 2011 vintage. On a positive note, organic/biodynamic wines are good for those who suffer allergic reactions when drinking wine, though they are not ‘preservative free’ as sulphur dioxide, in minimal quantities, is a natural by-product of fermentation with the amount limited to a maximum of 125ppm (conventional wines may contain up to 250ppm), however many organic wines, reds especially, are much lower than this. They are also Vegan and Vegetarian friendly too!

Organic One Chardonnay 2009 ($20 or/ 2 for $30) This was surprisingly good drinking with loads of attractive pineapple/melon/ white peach flavors holding sway with added creamy fullness on the mid palate. Quite golden in color, yet in no way overly developed or such, in fact, it’s quite fresh and vibrant with a nice soft dry finish to compliment the overall feel of the wine.

Organic One Shiraz 2009 ($20 or/ 2 for $30) Once again, this wine was better than I was expecting, brick red in color with some nice dried cherry/ berry fruits and spice filling out the medium weighted palate. Soft tannins round out the finish making it rather pleasant.

Ballet thrill DANCE GROUPS from the Surf Coast and Geelong have the chance to show off their best moves and share a stage with The Australian Ballet as part of Telstra’s Opening Act. The search is on for amateur dance groups of any genre from hip hop and tap, to jazz and contemporary, to be in the running to win a trip to Brisbane and perform on the main stage at Telstra Ballet in the Gardens. This is a free outdoor performance by The Australian Ballet who will perform ballet favourites at the Brisbane Riverstage in November. Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager, Geelong and the Surf Coast, Duane Dalton said this was an opportunity for local dancers to experience the thrill of performing to a large live audience. “Dancing on the same stage as The Australian Ballet is a real coup and a wonderful way for local Victorian dancers to display their artistic talent in front of a captive crowd.� To enter Telstra’s Opening Act, local amateur dance groups of up to eight members, simply need to upload a three minute dynamic dance routine before September 7. The Australian Ballet’s Artistic Director, David McAllister will choose the top five finalists who will then face a public vote to decide the ultimate winner. “I’ll be looking at how the group works together, their musicality, their enthusiasm and for the dancers who look like they’re having a great time. It’s a fantastic opportunity for young dancers to get their

THE EVOLUTION of food in Australia is inexorably linked to our history. Much has been written of the influence migration has had on our culinary landscape. It has occurred free of the dogma which insists traditional methods are the only way. The results have seen spectacular success for Australian chefs and food producers alike. A local story is that of Timboon Farmhouse Cheese, its history and current reinvigoration. Founder, Hermann Schulz was born in East Prussia and immigrated to Australia with his wife, Marlis, after WWII. They worked hard, raised three children and in 1971 secured a dairy property in Timboon. Hermann applied biodynamic principals to his farming, returned to Germany to recruit a cheese maker and started making cheese on his back veranda. Timboon Farmhouse Cheese was born and the company prospered. The organic milk used produced wonderful cheese sought after by deli’s, restaurants, retailers and export markets. It was so successful the company was purchased by King Island Dairy and eventually sold to National Foods. Sadly, National Foods closed the company in 2009 claiming the organic industry was floundering. Re-enter Hermann’s children who have leased the factory to young French cheese maker Matthieu Megard. He has created L’Artisan Cheese Timboon and is producing The Mountain Man, a wash rind cheese, Fromage Blanc, a fresh curd cheese and The Extravagant, a decadent Triple Cream. Hermann’s daughter Audrey is delighted to be involved with Matthieu in reestablishing cheese making and a cafÊ at the factory. Audrey can also been seen from time to time at Torquay Farm Foods extolling the virtues of these wonderful artisan cheeses.

Focus on love rather than yourself RELATIONSHIPS CAN often end in heartbreak because people are too focused on their own happiness, says one of the most senior Tibetan Buddhist lamas. His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche, whose education was personally supervised by the Dalai Lama, will tell the people of Torquay that the very thing people seek - ‘true love’ - escapes them because they put their own happiness before others. “Buddhism teaches that all suffering comes by thinking only of ourselves,” Dzogchen Rinpoche said. “Often we enter into a relationship because we hope someone else will make us happy, but this motivation will only lead to more suffering. However, if we put our partners, friends and family first in our thoughts and actions, our relationships will bring genuine fulfilment - that is love in its truest form.” Changing a life-long habit can be difficult at first but Dzogchen Rinpoche offers reassurance that it is possible. “We can start by having a relationship with ourselves. Dedicate some time to slow down and contemplate whether the way we operate our relationships actually works. Often it doesn’t. When we base our relationships on desire and attachment we are surprised when our feelings change and don’t bring the results we had hoped for. This doesn’t mean that something is wrong – it is the nature of emotions.” Dzogchen Rinpoche will share his wisdom at a public talk at the Quiksilver Auditorium in Torquay on Wednesday, September 7 at 7.30pm. Tickets are $20 ($15 concession). For more information call 0416 404 826.

His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche will be speaking in Torquay next week.

Geelong’s hidden treasures A ONE-legged circus performer, wedding dresses from four generations of the same family and an early ice-making machine all await as the National Wool Museum, along with Geelong’s community museums and historical societies, unearth the city’s Hidden Treasures. Commencing this Friday until October 30, Hidden Treasures takes a magnifying glass to Geelong’s endlessly fascinating past and present - its people, places and events that have shaped it. Unlikely secrets are revealed as the exhibition takes a tour around seven of Geelong’s community museums and collections including the Geelong Maritime Museum, the Scout Heritage Centre, Osborne Park House Association, the Bellarine Historical Society, the Cement Retiree’s Museum, the Geelong Historical Society and the James Harrison Centre. City of Greater Geelong Portfolio Holder for Heritage, Cr Cameron Granger said the exhibition is “a real surprise. Visitors will find out things they never suspected about their fine city – from Megalodon shark’s teeth to why the Fyansford Cement Works became known as ‘The Retiree’s Museum’. I learnt lots and I’ve lived here all my life.� Cr Barbara Abley, City of Greater Geelong’s Portfolio Holder for Arts and Culture believes this is history at its finest. “This is social history at its very best - from The Scout Heritage Centre’s Nauruan past, to the

Maritime Museum’s Gallipoli-bound submarine a whole new city begins to emerge as visitors delve into hundreds of candid images and objects.� Hidden Treasures is at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong.

Admission is $4 per child (2-15 yrs), $7.50 per adult, $6 concession, $25 per family (2 adults and up to 4 children). The Museum is open 9.30am5pm weekdays and 10am-5pm weekends. For more information phone (03) 5272 4701.

Music and poetry for the senses ORGANIST Tom Healey plays with a flare that is engaging and vibrant and is set to engage his audience with heroic and grand pieces, both old and new, combined with poetry read by Helen Seymour. St Paul's Anglican Church, Geelong is the wonderful setting for this unique concert In Praise of Heroes. It explores the idea of heroism through organ music, song and poetry with local musician Tom Healey, who is well known to Geelong audiences as an organist, choral conductor and singer and has performed at St Paul’s church many times over the years. He is joined in this concert by his wife Helen Seymour, who will read a selection of poems. Both were teachers at Geelong Grammar School for 26 years and were heavily involved in music making in Gee long. Helen has worked with the Geelong Children’s Choir and Tom has directed the Geelong Chorale, as well as conducting choirs at many Geelong Summer Music Camps. Helen now teaches English and Literature in Melbourne and Tom is Director of Music at St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Brighton, as well as teaching. They have both just returned from singing with the Australian Chamber Choir’s concert tour of Europe. In Praise of Heroes will be on Sunday, September 4 at 3pm at St Paul’s Anglican Church, Latrobe Terrace, Geelong. For further information call St Paul's Anglican Church on (03) 5229 1523.

BOOK REVIEW with Alison Aprhys

Faces in the clouds MATT Nable’s second novel is such a delight to read. Stephen and Lawrence (Loz) Kennedy are twin brothers born to an army life. Lawrence is born with intellectual disabilities but he has a disarming charm that most people appreciate and enjoy. What exactly is wrong with Lawrence is never made completely clear, however he was born looking blue and emaciated. This book is a very revealing portrayal of childhood and adolescence, moving into adulthood. Stephen, who is often embarrassed by his sibling’s behavior, does love his brother and feels responsible for his care particularly after the death of their parents in a car accident. Leaving the army community and friends to live with strangers they cope as only children can. Readers will care very deeply for the brothers as they encounter situations that could go terribly wrong. Watching the boys work their way through Catholic guilt and previous hurts to find their places in the world is a wonderful journey. Lawrence and his friend, Henry organise an illicit outing to the city to the Big Day Out concert and the poetic writing gives credence to the adventures of Lawrence and Henry with a certain joy in their almost forbidden freedom just leaps from the page. Stephen’s sexual awakening is the powerful stuff of first

By Matt Nable PENGUIN BOOKS

sexual attraction, countered by the belief that sex outside marriage is evil. The army life, the sea, the surf, the city and what each place means to Stephen and Lawrence and how they learn to live, is a story powerfully told.

With the new moon, Venus and Jupiter all activating your adventure zone, jump out of your comfort zone and take some calculated risks. For many curious Capricorns, a business trip or heavenly holiday looms large in your plans for the coming months. The more emotionally unyielding you are on Thursday, the more difficult the day will be.

Focus on health and fitness, as the New Moon activates your wellbeing zone. A disciplined approach will lead to more energy and a better quality of life. Business matters are favoured but make sure you’ve done your financial homework, and don’t skip over important details. Saturday is your pick of the week, as you socialise with family and friends.

Avoid side-step challenges crabs! With mighty Mars marching through your sign until September 19 it’s time to scale mountains and sail stormy seas. Be inspired by birthday great Ingrid Bergman, “I don’t regret a thing I’ve done. I only regret the things I didn’t do.” Adjust the way you communicate this week – one size definitely won’t fit everyone.

Saturn is testing your mettle and sending obstacles in your direction but don’t let it get you down. Be inspired by birthday great Lily Tomlin, “View challenges as hurdles on the road to success.” The new moon falls in your contemplation zone, so take a break from work, family and social commitments and indulge in some splendid solitude – for a change.

The new moon and Venus light up your hobby/leisure zone, so you need to do more of what you love. Get physical, sporty, creative, musical – whatever turns you on. Don’t have enough time to have fun? Stop making excuses and instead make recreation a top priority. Bulls are in a buoyant mood on Saturday, as the sun and Jupiter boost your spirits.

Don’t let impulse buys burn a hole in your wallet. Lions love luxury, but avoid spending more than you can comfortably afford. With the new moon in your cash zone, try a new and more fiscally responsible approach. It’s a wonderful weekend for work and business, as the Sun and Jupiter boost your confidence and put you in the right place at the right time.

The new moon shines a spotlight on your goals and dreams for the future; the sun urges you to go for gold; while Pluto helps you follow through with passion and purpose. Get set for a double-dose of Scorpio intensity on Friday and Saturday, as the Moon moves through your sign. You’ll be stubborn and secretive – but also intuitive and insightful.

The new moon indicates a shift of gear in an important area of life. This week, the heavens signal a fresh start for adventurous Aquarians involving intimacy issues or money matters. You’re in the mood to ruffle a few feathers mid-week, but be careful who you target with your idiosyncratic ideas and amusing antics. Some people will not be amused!

Is your home life a disorganised mess? Are you having trouble communicating with loved ones? New-moon energy helps you spring clean, clear the clutter and rejuvenate rickety relationships. It’s also time to shake off the mental cobwebs and put on your thinking cap, as you find stimulating ways to get your marvelous mind motivated again.

With the new moon and Venus visiting your sign you’re emanating some serious charisma, as you approach life with extra Virgo vim and vigor. Don’t obsess over what might have been – it’s time to start a new project or initiate important changes. Saturn is still moving slowly through your money zone, so focus on being a saver rather than a spender.

Positive aspects between the sun, Venus and Jupiter promise a pleasurable week. The new moon stimulates your career zone, so you’re keen to create fabulous fresh work opportunities and explore more of your professional potential. But, with Jupiter going retro, make sure you complete old projects before you launch ambitious new endeavors.

With the new moon revving up your relationship zone, Piscean partnerships are in for a major rejuvenation. Does your spouse encourage your talents and support your dreams? If the answer is no, it may be time to give them the boot. Singles – make a wish-list of the positive traits you are looking for in a long-term partner.

Mental Health Week 2011 Obesity plan BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

Barwon Health’s Mental Health Week 2011 will run from October 9-15. The week, timed to coincide with World Mental Health Day (August 10), is aimed at increasing awareness and reducing the stigma attached to mental health problems. Wellbeing in Mind is this year’s theme and it is hoped that by engaging with the local community and improving

knowledge about mental health issues will further encourage people to seek help if they need it. “It is extremely important to continually raise awareness about mental health issues. We have made good inroads into putting mental health into the mainstream, but it’s something that we have to keep working at,” Chris Scanlan, Barwon Health’s Mental Health Promotion Officer, said. “We have to get people talking about

mental health. People who seek help should not feel ashamed of embarrassed and realise that most people do recover. We have friendly and very good services on the Surf Coast for anyone wanting to discuss mental health problems.” A quiz and auction night and a Wellbeing Awards ceremony are just some of the events planned for the week. For further information about Mental Health Week 2011 visit www.barwonhealth.org.au/.

Surfcoast Medical Centre is one of many facilities in the region that helps with mental health issues

needs teeth THE BAILLIEU Government’s new childhood obesity strategy is a welcome first step but lacks the enforcement mechanisms necessary to reduce rapidly increasing rates of obesity, according to AMA Victoria President Dr Harry Hemley. “A healthy eating advisory service is all well and good, but our schools already have healthy eating guidelines in place,” Dr Hemley said. “The problem is they are not being enforced by the Government. Figures released last year showed that 321 of Victoria's 1787 primary schools (13%) were not complying with the healthy canteen guidelines. “The Government must start to enforce the mandatory healthy canteen guidelines for schools which include a ban on the sale of confectionary and soft drinks. “The failure to enforce these guidelines results in many children being provided with unhealthy eating options day in, day out. “The Government should also publicly release the names of those schools that aren't complying so that parents are aware of what's being sold too their children. “In Victoria nearly half of adults and one quarter of children are overweight or obese. “This imposes significant costs not only on the health system

and the community, but also on overweight and obese individuals. “While awareness campaigns, healthy eating advice services and research collaborations are valuable, they’re not enough to change the unhealthy habits of many Victorians. Over the last year AMA Victoria has called for a number of initiatives to tackle obesity. These include: • A traffic light food labelling system to help people control their weight and encourage food companies to sell healthier foods • A ban on junk food in all government buildings • Increased funding for hospitals to purchase specialist equipment to treat, diagnose and transport the rising number of morbidly obese Victorians presenting to the state’s public hospitals • Increased access to taxpayerfunded gastric banding surgery for morbidly obese Victorians • Increased sporting and recreational facilities particularly in outer suburban growth areas • A long term obesity plan developed in consultation with the medical profession • AMA Victoria calls on the Baillieu Government to implement these policies in order to make a real impact on obesity.

Recognising osteoarthritis HEALTHCARE EXPERTS have called upon the Australian healthcare industry to acknowledge osteoarthritis (the deterioration of joints) as a serious chronic disease. The number of people suffering from, or developing, osteoarthritis is set to double within the next 10 years. This impending epidemic currently affects more than three million Australians, two-thirds of whom are aged under 65 - many of whom are otherwise young, fit and healthy. According to Professor David Hunter, of the International Osteoarthritis Research Society, there needs to be “a major shift in how we are managing this chronic disease is needed.� “A common myth is that this is a disease that

mainly affects older people – and that simply is not true. More and more, young, fit people who play sport and exercise regularly are being hit with this crippling disease,� he said. “We have to focus on encouraging these young people to look after their joints before they end up in severe pain and have to go under the knife. We have seen evidence that suggests that up to twentyfive percent of people can avoid joint replacement surgery if they lose a bit of weight.� “Despite the impending epidemic of this disabling disease, current shortcomings around pre-emptively managing symptoms and preventing deterioration is having a dramatic effect on many potential sufferers.� Bupa Australia’s Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr

Stan Goldstein and Professor Hunter are speaking at the ADMA last week are available for interview on this issue. As part of this new focus on osteoarthritis, Bupa Australia is supporting the Integrated Osteoarthritis Management Program. Designed with leading osteoarthritis experts, the program aims to help people with osteoarthritis of the knees or hips to have less pain, reduce the stress and load on their joints and to keep their joints moving. The Bupa Health Foundation, Arthritis Australia and Prof Hunter are developing The Osteoarthritis Clinical Excellence Hub, to assist individual patients and their treatment providers to manage pain and inflammation, improve mobility and enhance quality of life and slow the disease progression.

Cancer Australia strategic plan revealed THE CANCER Australia Strategic Plan 20112014 has been released, to provide leadership and direction at a time of increasing cancer incidence. Dr Helen Zorbas, CEO of Cancer Australia said there is increasing incidence of cancer as a result of factors including a growing and ageing population. “In Australia one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime,� Dr Zorbas said.

Cancer Australia and National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre were amalgamated in July 2011 to form a single national cancer control agency to strengthen the Government’s focus on cancer control. Cancer Australia will provide national leadership, working with the health sector, to establish a shared agenda to reduce the impact of cancer in our community. Cancer Australia will foster collaboration and engagement across the health system, build the knowledge base in cancer

and seek to shape the effectiveness of cancer control strategies at a national level. Dr Zorbas said the Cancer Australia Strategic Plan 2011-2014 identifies key issues and strategies to improve cancer control. “Cancer Australia will provide consumers, clinicians, researchers and educators with access to trusted and up-to-date information to guide clinical best practice and inform consumer decision making. Central to our efforts is the

use of evidence to advance improvements across the cancer continuum and the use of innovative approaches to deliver best practice care and support.� The Executive Director of Cancer Voices Australia, John Stubbs welcomed the Strategic Plan. “Cancer Australia’s commitment to being informed by people affected by cancer is reflected in their contribution to this Plan,� Mr Stubbs said.

Holistic healthcare approach A PROGRAM offering a holistic approach to health care to thousands of Australia’s most vulnerable and ill veterans has received support from the Australian Medical Association (AMA). Secretary for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Mr Ian Campbell made the announcement at the Australian Disease Management Association conference in Canberra last week on behalf of Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Warren Snowdon, Mr Campbell thanked the medical community for its support for the new Coordinated Veterans’ Care (CVC) program which brings doctors and nurses

together to provide a coordinated approach to a Gold Card holder’s health care and reduces the likelihood of stressful and unplanned hospitalisations. The CVC program commenced in May 2011 and around 17,000 veterans, war widows and widowers are expected to benefit from it by 2014. The Federal Government invested $152.7 million towards the CVC Program in the 2010 Federal Budget and Mr Campbell encouraged those dealing with the veteran community to learn more about the program. “The Coordinated Veterans’ Care Program is

delivering an innovative approach to health care for chronically ill veterans, war widows and widowers who need complex care and are at risk of unplanned hospitalisation,� Mr Campbell said. Australian Medical Association Federal President, Dr Steve Hambleton, said the program was a positive step towards chronic care management. “The Australian Medical Association supports strategies for improved patient care management in the community, with general practitioners as the clinical leader and by identifying innovative ways, such as the CVC Program, to reduce hospital

admissions for the chronically ill.� Mr Campbell said with the backing of the AMA and other health leaders, the CVC program had the potential to be a benchmark for complex health care management. “The Department of Veterans’ Affairs wants to ensure that the veteran community has access to the highest level of health care available. With the continued support of the AMA and the medical community, we hope to set a standard for health care in an ageing population,� he said. For more visit www.dva.gov.au/cvc.htm

Oral cancer campaign launched THE AUSTRALIAN Dental Association recently launched a campaign to highlight the presence of oral cancers within the community. Every day, at least three Australians are diagnosed with oral cancer - and this number is rising. Unfortunately, because of the delayed detection and subsequent spread to other parts of the body, survival rates of oral cancers remain low despite advancements in treatment. Traditionally, men have been shown to be a greater risk of oral cancer than women. Smoking and alcohol are major contributing factors, with 80 per cent of oral cancers occuring in smokers. Heavy drinking (more than four standard drinks in a single occasion) also increases your risk. Heavy drinking and smoking combined greatly increases your risks of oral cancer.

There has been a significant increase in the number of young individuals being diagnosed with oral cancers which are believed to be transmitted by the human papilloma virus (HPV). You can minimise your risks of oral cancer by not smoking, minimising alcohol intake, protecting your skin, considering the HPV vaccine and eating plenty of fruit and vegetables. Most importantly, maintaining optimal oral hygiene and regular continuing care appointments with your hygienist and dentist will minimise your risks of oral cancer.

COASTYLE BUILDING SOLUTIONS

Beach lifestyle balance for builder JOHN EKBERG made the move from Melbourne to Indented Head five years ago and has never looked back. Establishing his own building company, Coastyle, means he can now enjoy the beach lifestyle while balancing his family life with work. “We used to have a holiday house down here but with the demand of builders on the rise we decided to move to Indented Head,� he said. “Now my children go to school in Drysdale, we live near the beach and I am kept busy with the amount of work around here.� Coastyle specialises in renovations and extensions, and John makes it his priority to be involved with his clients from day one.

“We will go with clients to inspect properties and advise them on the potential a house can offer. We like to participate in the design process and unlike bigger companies we can be flexible with change throughout the building process,� Ekberg said. There are currently six friendly and proactive builders employed with Coastyle and local tradesmen are often called in to help with the bigger jobs. “We do everything from decking and flooring to alfresco areas,� he said. “No job is too big or too small.� Coastyle services the Bellarine Peninsula and John can be contacted on 0418 332081. You can visit his website at www.coastyle.com.au

Victorian finalists at the recent Australian longboard titles (from left to right): Greg Brown, Emma Webb, Bob Smith, John Ayton, Brian Thompson and Michael Pinney.

A TREBLE OF NATIONAL TITLES BY SAM SUENDERMANN THREE SURF Coast longboarders were successful in winning national titles at the recent Australian longboard championships that were recently held in the Port Macquarie region. The first Victorian to be crowned champion was John Ayton in the over 55 division. Ayton led from start to finish, racking up an impressive 12.25 points out of a possible 20.

“As I came in on my last wave they announced me as the Australian champion and I just thought ‘yes’,” Ayton said. “To then be greeted by the entire Victorian team and chaired up the beach was an amazing feeling.” In the over 45 division defending champion Greg Brown had his work cut out for him going wave for wave with New South Wales’ Hayden Swan. In the end Brown’s impressive hang-fives and maneuvers in the critical section of the wave were

just too good and he clinched the title for the second year in a row. “The Victorian team spirit helped to produce some top results with six finalists and three Australian champions,” Brown said. “It was such a great week of surfing and I’m pleased to have topped it off with a win.” In the women’s open division Emma Webb fought off her younger opponents and a bout of illness to win her maiden Australian longboard title. Choosing

to surf the reform left closer in shore Webb showed off her smooth style linking critical turns with hangfives in the shore break. Other surfers to reach the final were Bob Smith, Brian Thompson and Michael Pinney. Smith surfed to third in the over 60 division while Thompson dropped from second to fourth in the last five minutes of his over 50 final. Pinney lead his over 35 men’s final but had to settle for second when WA’s Brett Moss caught a wave in the dying minutes.

Waves continue to build Corio Bay Cobras 0 - 2 Barwon A beautiful warm day greeted the combatants of a mid-table struggle with the result almost certainly finalising the ladder. Corio Bay were missing a few key players for the rescheduled round and had many more suffering the flu. Barwon started with the kick off working to set up play for an attack and facing Cobras ready to strike and push forward immediately. A tight struggle for midfield dominance ensued followed by some ineffective strikes by Barwon in the first 35 minutes. As half time drew near the Cobras defence allowed an easy chance to roll across the line. On the restart Corio Bay pushed forward and nearly countered the first score with one of their own but for some good last minute defensive work by Barwon sweeper Kate Lyons. In the dying couple of minutes, even though hard working winger Naw Kaw Htoo did her best, a foul was earned by Barwon followed by a beautiful strike to see the ball rocket into the far top corner of the net making it 2-0. The second half was a well contested affair with Barwon holding the balance of field position. Barwon Heads 1 - 0 Geelong Rangers On a beautiful day at Barwon Heads Cricket Club, Barwon Heads had the majority of the play but failed to capitalise on their many chances. However, their passing game was a pleasure to watch; it was wonderful to see the team’s hard

work at training paying off. Tessa Walsh put in an inspiring performance up front, scoring a wonderful solo effort in the first half, which was her first goal for Barwon Heads. Her game was matched by the performances of Chelsea Hutson, Tessa Brasier and Hayley Quinn, in what was a great team effort. In a pleasing second half to their season, with 3 wins and a draw, the Hammerheads hope to continue their winning streak into the final 2 games. Bellarine Sharks 0 - 5 Breakwater Eagles The Eagles stamped their authority on the game showing they mean business as they approach the pointy end of the season. Scorers for the Eagles were a hat trick from gun WPL player Britt Elsen, and one each for Louise Riley and Erica Weatherly. Ex Eagles player Amy Windsor had an excellent game for the Sharks and some clashes with some of her ex-team mates. Surfside Waves 7 - 0 Deakin Uni Waves continued their fine form as they head towards finals and a likely semi-final against Breakwater Eagles. They dispatched Deakin Uni’s injury and illness-weakened side in a dominant performance, with Kiwi Nicole Wakefield scoring a hat trick. Other scorers for Surfside were Lara Williams, Maddie Bennett, Carla D’Allessadro and Mollie Strano.

Opposition blues U12 BOYS: Surf Coast Blue 3 - 2 Surfside Waves An excellent game by Surf Coast Blue with 3 goals coming in the first half and plenty of other chances. The second half also produced numerous chances but the Blues couldn’t put them away. The win ensured that blues finished on top of the ladder for the regular season and are unbeaten in the qualifying games. The standout for the game was Jack Roe who dominated the first half and the defence was

again led by the Vasey/Miller combination. Blues are now looking forward to the finals in the coming weeks. U13 BOYS: Surf Coast Blue 6 - 0 Corio Played in brilliant sunshine the boys honed their soccer skills in preparation for the up and coming finals. Will Halse, Fox Shead and Keeden Graham consistently passed the ball up the sides which allowed the strikers many chances to attain a goal.

WITH MARGOT SMITH

WHAT A difference a week makes. A bit of sun, a lot of wind and we now have a course without tee up, without barriers for the buggies and carts, and most importantly some run at last. Hopefully the scoring will get easier and those like me who have extended their handicap might start to move it in the other direction. The travellers this week were the President, the Captain, the General Manager and the Pro. They played together in an event at the Woodlands course on Friday and they managed to come away with third on a countback with the top three teams all scoring 102 points in a modified stableford event. Well done to the team.

Men’s Competition The men played a four-ball stableford event on Wednesday and using the auto scorecards did pose a few teething problems but most of the players eventually get the hang of it. Terry Beggs and John Ryan blitzed the field to win with 50 points from the popular veteran duo of John Brushfield and Don Little who scored 45 points. Peter Gray won NTP on the 5th, while Dean Bernasconi

won by Trish Frost (33) with 38 points. NTPs went to Andy Clark and Tom Davis. Weekend results Saturday was par and the ninth green proved to be very tricky in the wind, although the scores did not seem to reflect just how tricky some holes were. Andrew Groom (7) was the A Grade winner with +5, Gary Pike (12) scored a fine +6 to win B Grade on a count-back, Alan Foss (19) prevailed in C Grade with a great score of +7 and Kevin Young (24) was victor in D Grade on a count-back with +7. NTPs were won by Andy Clark, Trevor Bell, Jack Golden, Peter Guild, while John McKay took out the jackpot. Well done to Garry Bath who had an eagle on the 14th Hole. The ladies winner was Helen Sceney (25) with +4 and NTPs for the ladies were won by Elanor Douglas, Ronnie Beacom and Karen Bourke.

Sunday golf was very quiet with Torquay visiting Anglesea for our annual event, however, a few members did manage to get out on our home course for the stableford event. The winner was Ken Godfrey (36) with 47 points, while the NTP was won by Richard McKinnis and notably Robert Muffet scored an eagle on the first hole. Golf shop Srixon will be coming to demonstrate new balls and wedges on September 28 and bookings will be available from 10am till 12.45pm. Bookings are essential, so call the golf shop for more information and reserve your times. The BBQ will be out again on Saturday for the monthly medal and the men are reminded that there is a slight change of format for Guest Day with two shotgun starts available at 8am and 12:30pm. Car spaces will be limited so please car pool if possible.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

It’s been a busy week at The Sands with mostly ideal conditions for golf, yet once again it was the women who had to battle the wind and rain for their competition day. And it’s been an all female crew in the pro shop with Darrell Tybin and Frank all missing in action. Darrell and his entourage are in Western Australia on the members trip, Tybin headed to a not-so-sunny Queensland to give a few tips to younger brother and newly turned professional Deyen, while Frank has been on parenting duties with the arrival of a baby son.

The Sands Golf Club

Weekend competition Saturday was stableford day and the pins were so tricky that some had to be moved for our visitors the next day. However, this didn’t worry Paul Johnstone. He scored a massive 44 points to win C Grade, with the next best posted by Raymondo Shaw (41). Other winners were Paul Lata in A Grade (37), Geordie Thoms

in B Grade (38) and Valda Connelly (32) in the ladies. NTPs were won by Brett Midolo, Travis Capon, Ian Weaver, and Len Ballem. Sunday was ‘Torquay visits Anglesea day’ with a shotgun start stableford event. Anglesea was the runaway winner with 537 points to Torquay’s 390 points – with the shortened course, the winter handicap slide hasn’t impacted the Torquay members nearly as much. Winners for Anglesea were Vida Brenner with 36 points and Michael Troup with 39 points, while for Torquay it was Lyn Brady with 28 points and Greg Mifsud with 34 points. NTPs were evenly shared between the clubs with winners Roger Trevaskis and Dot Hermann for Anglesea, and Rod Papworth and Gary Bath. Entry forms for Open Week are now available on the club’s website and in the office. Also check out the VIP offer from our new Pro – some sensational savings for those looking for lessons, new clubs, or other goodies.

Midweek results TUESDAY was stableford and the winner for A Grade was Sandy Harrison (23) with 38 points, B Grade was secured by Karen Grayling (27) with 37 points on count-back from Noel Orwin and C Grade was taken out by Gwen Hand (39) with 42 points. NTPs were won by Karen Grayling, Heather Hudler, Carole Mayne, Ainsley McCallum and Sally Torney. Carole and Sally also won the jackpots – well done girls!

Torquay reserves to face Anglesea BY LUKE GRIFFITHS TORQUAY RESERVES football team will play Anglesea this Sunday in a knockout final after losing Saturday’s qualifying final to Modewarre. Torquay, who finished second on the ladder, led at three-quarter time but were overrun in the last quarter, eventually going down by 17 points at a wind-swept Portarlington. Veteran Brent Dixon, who kicked five goals, and Lyle Priest were Torquay’s best players. The loss of Mark Duckworth and Stuart Hill to knee injuries left Torquay with just two fit players on the bench,

however, Tigers coach Luke Cormack said a wasteful first-term was key reason for his side’s loss. “We were kicking with a four-goal breeze and had plenty of opportunities to have a good lead at quarter-time but couldn’t capitalise, which ultimately hurt us,” Cormack said. Aided again by the wind, Torquay kicked five goals to two in the thirdquarter to hold a four point three-quarter time lead but ultimately couldn’t hold out in the final term. Despite the loss, Cormack remains confident that his team has what it takes to challenge for the premiership.

“We get back seven players this week so we’re definitely confident we can progress. We’ve played plenty of football together so I’m confident we can win this week.” Torquay and Anglesea have a one-all record this year, with Anglesea victorious by nine points in round seven, while the Tigers exacted revenge in round 14, winning by 17 points. TORQUAY UNDER 18’s withstood a fast finishing Ocean Grove in Saturday’s qualifying final, winning by just six points after leading at three-quarter time by 29 points. The Tigers will play Drysdale this Saturday for a spot in the grand final.

With a slight increase with the weather of late some are starting to get out and enjoy their fishing once more. The snapper season is almost upon us and as usual we are being told to expect a bumper snapper season please see media release below. Another bumper snapper season for Port Phillip Bay Anglers can look forward to another exceptional snapper catch in Port Phillip Bay this spring. Scientists from Fisheries Victoria are predicting the 2011-12 season will be a repeat of recent years, although catches will be moderate over the next three years. Researcher Paul Hamer said scientists were able to forecast the likely performance of the fishery based on the number of baby snapper that settled in Port Phillip Bay each year. “Baby snapper settle in the Bay during the late summer and early autumn following the summer spawning season and this settlement determines the size of the catch in years to come,” Mr Hamer said. “Snapper spawned in Port Phillip Bay are the mainstay of Victoria’s ‘western snapper stock’ extending from Wilsons Promontory to the mouth of the Murray River.” Snapper is one of the most highly prized fish caught in Victoria by recreational and commercial fishers.

TIDE PREDICTIONS FOR PORT PHILLIP HEADS

WED 31

Every year from late spring to early summer anglers launch boats all around Port Phillip Bay to catch snapper as they migrate into the bay for their annual spawning season. “The successful spawning and survival of young snapper in the bay varies greatly from year to year,” Mr Hamer said. “Ten to twenty fold variations are common and this variation influences future catches. “We know these variations are related to factors influencing the snapper during their first few weeks of life.” Ongoing research is determining how water temperature, nutrient supply, river flows and currents influence the food supply, growth and survival of baby snapper in the Bay. Interviews with anglers revealed last year more than 80 percent of snapper caught were above 1kg and were at least 40cm long. One in four were big reds that weighed more than 3kg and were at least 60cm”. Even weeks ago we were already receiving some reports of early snapper catches with some snapper being taken weighing in up to 3 kgs . With the improvement in the weather it is hoped that more and more anglers will be able to get out and take advantage of our magnificent fisheries and the snapper season we are looking forward too. Don’t forget to get those photos in we look forward to publishing your great catches.
