LOVE IT LOCAL Launch of new shopping brochure to boost local producers while reducing carbon footprint

BY NATHAN HALE THE PUSH to reduce our carbon footprint and in the process support local business is set to reach a new level tomorrow with the launch of a Live Local, Shop Local brochure. The initiative – eight months in the making – outlines more than 30 local businesses which have come on board to support Transition Torquay in its push for a sustainable future through sustainable shopping. Apart from the obvious environmental benefits, the Live Local, Shop Local initiative will provide benefits for businesses throughout the community with added exposure and information readily available to the wider public. The brochure – which is also available online – will be launched at a special Christmas Twilight Farmers’

Surf Forecast

Market at Torquay Central tomorrow evening. The markets will be held from 5pm-8pm at Bristol Road, Torquay, with Transition Torquay co-ordinator Julia Brangwyn describing tomorrow night’s launch as a win-win for local shoppers. “We wanted to showcase what is available in our region,� she said. “The idea is that when people shop in their own locality it not only supports local businesses and boosts the local economy, but also reduces carbon emissions from transport and encourages local resilience. “The Torquay Central Farmers Market, which happens every Saturday morning, seemed the logical place to launch the brochure.� The idea for the brochure was first publicised in the Surf Coast Times in April this year and has been produced by local group

Transition Town Torquay, with help from the Surf Coast Shire and Torquay Community Enterprise. The brochure includes a sustainability star-rating based on responses to questions around energy efficiency, water use, materials, labour and waste disposal. Many of the businesses listed score highly and have put a lot of thought into how they make their product. “We decided to add sustainability ratings – where we asked a series of questions to each business and they supplied answers,â€? Brangwyn said. “So the ratings are based on their responses and come down to each producer’s honesty‌ they can be used as a guide for shoppers. “There is a lot of scope to develop the brochure and the ratings further – the whole idea is that this is

just the start. “We want to get people thinking about how they shop and where they get their produce from. “I just had another email this morning with another business who wanted to be in‌ so hopefully we can continue to build.â€? While the brochure has just over 30 businesses listed, the online database – which can be found at www.transitiontorquay.org – has more than 60 businesses and will continually be updated. “The idea is to keep updating and adding businesses and to improve the rating system so it is not a static thing,â€? Brangwyn said. “We have great coverage of the region – we have people in the Otways, on the Bellarine and even in Inverleigh. “We want people to support local producers as much as we can.â€?

MAYOR’S COLUMN THIS month’s council meeting brought forward some great projects for Winchelsea, including the awarding of tenders for a community hub, the town’s most significant residential development in many years and a masterplan for the Winchelsea Industrial Estate. These are all significant developments for Winchelsea, which is earmarked as a major growth area in the Surf Coast Shire.

WINCH lift for Eastern Reserve

The awarding contract for the Winchelsea Integrated Neighbourhood Community Hub (WINCH) is another important step in the upgrading of Eastern Reserve. The WINCH is a multi-purpose building that will include function space for up to 200 people, a community gym, meeting rooms, a commercial kitchen and office space. Geelong-based firm Lyons Construction won the tender for the project, which is scheduled to be completed in August 2011. The WINCH will build on a number of important upgrades council has been involved in at Eastern Reserve, including upgraded netball courts that have greatly increased participation. These courts are among the best in the shire. The project is funded by a $2million grant from the Federal Government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Programme – Special Projects fund as well as $400,000 from Surf Coast Shire and $100,000 from the Eastern Reserve Committee of Management; which has done a great job in raising funds. I also thank the Federal Government, in particular local Member Darren Cheeseman, for their valuable support of this project.

Amendment C65 opens new land

Council has passed Amendment C65 to the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme, which will now be forwarded to the Minister for Planning for final

sign-off. The amendment opens up around 100 residential sites between 1000m2 and 4000m2 in Winchelsea’s south-west, as well as business zoning fronting the Princes Highway These rural living allotments will provide more choices for housing in Winchelsea, while the business zoning will be the first higher density (Business 4 Zone) designated in Winchelsea. This planning amendment builds on work done as part of the Winchelsea Structure Plan, where Council worked with the community to set directions for Winchelsea’s future development.

Winchelsea Industrial Estate Masterplan

Over the last 12 months, council has been working towards developing plans to improve the Winchelsea Industrial Estate and make it more attractive for business to invest in. The masterplan seeks to: • Improve the aesthetic appeal and visual presence of the estate • Enhance and make the most of the estate’s highway frontage • Improve access to the estate; and • Identify opportunities to increase land supply. Input from the community, through the plan reference group and through community submissions, have helped improve the plan. The community representatives council worked with on this plan deserve a lot of credit for the final result, which will help better position the estate as a source of jobs and local services. The plan is available on council’s website, with the minutes from the December meeting.

Responsible pet ownership

The Surf Coast has one of Victoria’s highest rates of dog ownership. This amplifies the need for pet owners to be responsible and make the right decisions; particularly in areas of open space like beaches.

There are a number of restrictions on the Surf Coast that apply to dogs in public places. In township areas, for example, dogs must be on leash at all times. Dogs should never be off leash in sand dunes or grassed areas around our beaches. Over summer and Easter, timeshare restrictions apply that affect where dogs can go on many of our most popular beaches. These restrictions are there to protect beachgoers and the environment. Be sure you’re aware of these restrictions as they will be enforced. Detailed brochures are available at council’s Grossmans Road office, Visitor Information Centres and online at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au

Young achiever

Last week, councillor Ron Humphrey presented an award recognising all-round achievement to Mikayla Collins, who finished Grade 6 at Winchelsea Primary School this year with great academic, sporting and musical achievements. The award was started by the former Winchelsea Shire and continues to be awarded annually. Congratulations to all local primary and secondary students and their teachers on their achievements in 2010. I wish you all the best for the school holidays and 2011.

Christmas greetings

Lastly, on behalf of council, I wish you and your family all the best for a safe and happy festive season. If you’re travelling, please do so safely. If you’re visiting, please enjoy the best the Surf Coast has to offer this summer. Take care,

Dean Cr Dean Webster

Mayor, Surf Coast Shire

Whose responsibility is it? BY NATHAN HALE IS SURF Coast Shire passing the buck when it comes to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) decisions? That’s the question being asked by a growing number of concerned Torquay citizens. Hot on the heels of last week’s decision by VCAT to allow the RACV to build a five-storey resort at the Torquay Golf Club – which was initially rejected by council – calls are growing for the shire to tighten its planning scheme. In an open letter to the editor, one local resident said “It is both disingenuous and misleading to blame VCAT, whose members are ultimately

only able to approve development within the rules of the planning scheme. The planning scheme is not VCAT’s responsibility – it’s ours and our shire’s”. The letter goes on to ask: “Could the RACV case be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and gives the community the resolve to make the shire tighten the planning scheme to protect what makes this place so special?” In essence, it is the shire’s responsibility to place tighter restraints and, perhaps, actual figures, on specifics such as height rather than have “guidelines”. In response to the concerns, council’s director sustainable communities, Dennis Barker, said the

planning scheme aims to provide guidelines about the type of development throughout the shire. “The Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme makes a number of clear statements about the need to respect the character, ambience and amenity of our region; particularly coastal areas,” he said. “For example, the Torquay-Jan Juc strategy includes a specific reference to ensuring tourist accommodation is developed at a ‘scale that is in keeping with the character, ambience and amenity of the location’. This clause should ensure that inappropriate accommodation developments are not placed in coastal areas. “This clause was introduced in 2010 as part of the Amendment C37 to the Surf Coast Planning

Scheme to protect coastal amenity from large-scale accommodation developments across Torquay and Jan Juc. In addition the subject site had an approved planning permit for development which included a building with a specific height. “Height guidelines are in place for many planning zones across the Surf Coast. However, the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme is robust in its defence of coastal character; providing council with a strong basis on which to reject development that compromises our coast.” Does the shire need to tighten its planning scheme in a bid to stop VCAT overturning decisions? Send us your thoughts by emailing letters to the editor at editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au

Home for Christmas BY ELEANOR WOODS

A WELL-LOVED community man is ‘elated’ this week after thieves returned pieces that were stolen from his roadside nativity scene. Jan Juc’s George Ashworth had displayed the handmade Christmas scene in his front yard in Domain Road for the past 20 years without a glitch until this year, when a wise man and a camel were stolen just days after they were lovingly erected. “I was really disappointed when they went missing because they are a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas,” he said. “We’d never had any trouble before. I think someone must have been on holiday and taken them for themselves and then felt bad and brought

them back.” When the two large wooden characters turned up on the Ashworth’s lawn more than a week after being taken, the ex-Baptist minister was relieved. “I am elated. Christmas means everything to me. It is what the Christian faith is based on – the birth of Christ,” he said. Ashworth, 86, is a highly respected community man who was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his commitment to community work as a Baptist minister for 60 years.

Jan Juc’s George Ashworth is relieved that thieves returned the wise man and the camel which mysteriously went missing from his roadside Christmas nativity scene.

Surf Film feast BY ELEANOR WOODS THE FOUR-DAY Surf World International Film Festival will screen in Torquay next week. Watch on as the professionals walk on water in a string of films fit for any surf-inspired mind. The event, at Surf World from December 27 to 30, was ignited by festival co-ordinator John Foss. “The Surf World International Surf Film Festival will provide fantastic entertainment this summer,� he said. “The festival features the latest award-winning surf films and surfing documentaries from around the world.� The line-up boasts award-winning international surf films as well as the Australian premiere of the new films Dark Fall and Stoked and Broke. “We are delighted to be chosen for the Australian premier of these films,� Foss said. Dark Fall is an award-winning documentary that

follows a year in the life of New Jersey’s best surfers as they tackle waves in their backyard. The film features Kelly Slater, Andy Irons and Cory Lopez and was awarded at the New York Surf Film Festival. Californian surf safari flick Stoked and Broke will also be first seen in Australia during the Surf Coast festival. Stoked and Broke documents Ryan and Cyrus on their surfin’ safari; as the quirky duo hunt waves, make their own surfboards, bamboo rickshaw and solar cooker. The festival programme also includes a special screening of the iconic Australian documentary Bombora; which tells the tale of how surfing went from an obscure Hawaiian pastime, reserved for Hawaiian kings, to becoming an Australian obsession and international phenomena. To check out the diverse range of films and documentaries festival, visit www.surfworld.com.au

News in brief Let the works begin

THE AWARDING of the construction contract for the Princes Highway West project means the focus can now switch to providing local jobs, said Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. The $220million contract has been awarded to BMD, a company with extensive experience in road building. “It’s a terrific moment which gives me a lot of satisfaction, and means the project will go full steam ahead from the beginning of 2011. VicRoads have assured me that this section of the road will be completed by 2014, and that the project will be structured that so there will be minimal impact on the transport industry and commuters.�

Dive into Lorne

LORNE pool was filled on Friday, ready for summer heat and an influx of holidaymakers to the town. LorneLife’s Clay Thompson said progress on the foreshore development was “coming along nicely�. The pool will be open until late March, when it will be emptied to install geo thermal heating. The newly renovated B Bar and Grill, which overlooks the beach, is set to open in the coming weeks. “It is twice the size as the old restaurant and is a beautiful facility,� Thompson said.

Maps show sea level rise threat NEWLY released climate change maps show areas of The Sands in Torquay will be under water by the end of the century. The maps – released last week – identify the future impacts of climate change on the region, showing massive impacts through rising sea levels. The maps show severe impacts to transport infrastructure, public facilities, private housing Key impacts include: • Eastern parts of The Sands estate in Torquay will also be inundated with water • Point Lonsdale becomes an island, with half the

township (hundreds of homes) inundated and the region between Point Lonsdale and Ocean Grove completely inundated, transforming to a series of small islands • A loss of housing and the caravan park in Ocean Grove • Dozens of local roads be inundated • Transport routes to Barwon Heads cut, with Barwon Heads virtually becoming an island, with Breamlea also cut off. Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said maps had been generated as a

priority site as it was now recognised this region would be one of the worst affected across Australia. “We are more vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels than just about other region in Australia, and the new maps absolutely back up the private research I commissioned four years ago,” he said. “The maps show that we must act to tackle climate change, and establishing a value on carbon pollution right across the economy must be our highest priority.” The new maps have been developed in partnership

with the Co-operative Research Centre for Spatial Information, using the highest resolution elevation data currently available. The maps show the potential long-term effects of climate change, highlighting three simple sea level rise scenarios for the period around the year 2100: low (0.5m), medium (0.8m) and high (1.1m). The low scenario represents future sea-level rise which is likely to be unavoidable; medium is in line with recent global emissions and observations of sea-level rise; and high considers the possible highend risk identified in the Intergovernmental Panel

DIY dads dig in BY ELEANOR WOODS A GROUP of doting dads chipped in to help improve St Therese Catholic Primary School grounds, saving the school thousands of dollars. Leader of the pack, John Toohey, from Surf Coast Contractors, thought it would be a great idea to get a few tradesmen fathers onboard to improve the Torquay school. Nine dads paid their dues, working free of charge to install a new outdoor area, build a fence, pave a path and plant trees and shrubs. The school’s sustainability co-ordinator, Gerard McCarthy, said the team’s contribution had been “outstanding”. “These guys have been putting in so much effort to help the school. It is so kind and has helped us so much,” he said. “To do all this work on our own would have cost thousands.” Torquay Mitre 10 also donated $1,500 towards materials for the project. “Everyone has dug deep and helped out. We are so grateful for such a significant contribution,” McCarthy said. Toohey said gathering the troupe had been a breeze. “It’s been really good. We had no drama getting people to donate time or materials. We’ve all got kids at the school and wanted to do our bit to give something back,” he said. From left, leader of the pack, John Toohey from Surf Coast Contractors, pictured with Paul Yates from Torquay Mitre 10, Rick Jones from Skilled Homes, Andrew Quinn from GJ Quinn Construction, and local artist Glenn Romanis.

Cinema comes to town BY NATHAN HALE THE OUTDOOR Cinema experience will hit the Surf Coast next week when Movies with the Stars comes to Torquay and Lorne. Throughout the busy holiday period, Movies with the Stars will add an extra dimension of entertainment for locals and holiday-makers alike. Each week a different movie will feature – on Tuesdays in Torquay and Thursdays in Lorne – starting next week and finishing on January 20. The movies include Karate Kid, Mama Mia, Paul Blart – Mall Cop and Ponjo, with the screenings being held at the Torquay Caravan Park

and at Lorne on the grounds which back on to the beach near the Erskine Mantra Beach Resort. Organiser Justin Alexander said the movie evenings will provide a family friendly option for the locals and visitors alike throughout the school summer holidays. “Movies with the Stars gives them a different cinema experience – an outdoor cinema experience that not many people have probably seen before,” he said. “The movies are for the entire family and we are encouraging people to come along and enjoy a Pic and a Flick – pack a picnic and enjoy the movie.”

Torquay will host the first screening on Tuesday, December 28 when Karate Kid will play; these will be followed each Tuesday, with Mama Mia playing on January 4; Paul Blart – Mall Cop on January 11 and Ponjo on January 18. Lorne’s season will commence on Thursday, December 30 with Karate Kid, and will continue every Thursday with the same films as Torquay – Mama Mia on January 6; Paul Blart – Mall Cop on January 13 and Ponjo on January 20. Tickets are priced at $5 or $18 for a family ticket – making it a cheap night’s entertainment. For more information on the sessions, visit www.movieswiththestars.com.au

ST JOSEPHS College teachers got down and dirty for a good cause last week when they collected rubbish in Torquay. The team of 10 combed the beach from Yellow Bluff to Whites Beach with poles and bags in hand as part of the school’s Community Service Day, in which staff donate their time to different areas of the community. Teachers Michael Timms and Ric Brodrick said the day was about “giving something back”.

Bellbrae’s big success BELLBRAE Primary School students have done their bit to help save an Australian icon. Pupils from Years 3 and 4 took it upon themselves to organise and host a fundraising day to help support the research and protection of the Tasmanian Devil. In total, their efforts raked in $1,774.85 – which will see the money go towards adopting a Tassie Devil, as well as supporting Zoos Victoria’s Devils Advocate programme. The idea for a fundraiser emerged after students investigated the many animals across Australia that are endangered due to severe human and environmental impact. After discovering that 60 per cent of the Tasmanian Devil population is infected with an aggressive cancer called Devil Facial Tumor Disease, students quickly realised that this lovable creature could soon become extinct. “The day was an enormous success. The students demonstrated such a vast range of skills, it is impossible to list them all,” said teacher Attalia Egerton. “Congratulations to the Years 3 and 4 students of Bellbrae Primary School.”

Make an impact BY ELEANOR WOODS LEARNING how to make beer and wine, recreating your wardrobe and taking part in a compost revolution will all be part of a fledgling community programme in Anglesea. Make an Impact, Experiments in Local Living was born out of a partnership between Greening Australia and Alcoa, who teamed up to pilot the programme with the Anglesea community in the New Year. The programme’s goal is to provide residents with positive actions that will benefit the local community’s health, wellbeing, finances and environment. Make an Impact focuses on building community resilience to climate change and is designed to complement existing community partnerships involving Anglesea and District Community House, Surf Coast Shire, Barwon Regional Waste Management Group, Barwon Water, the State Government and the Anglesea community. Community development co-ordinator for Greening Australia, Sarah Bolus, thinks the programme will be an excellent avenue for the Anglesea community to learn positive and practical actions for reducing their environmental impact in a social, relaxed and fun environment. “Anglesea residents can expect a hands-on programme throughout the year, including workshops on revitalising old clothing and furniture, seasonal cooking classes, food preserving workshops, learning how to compost and establish backyard worm farms and beer and wine making workshops,” she said.

WITH SUMMER upon us the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club’s annual ocean swim is set to take flight. Rock 2 Ramp is one of the region’s safest ocean swims and is open to all ages. Naantali Marshall and her husband Sam Hume are again entering, after the 35-year-olds both won their 30-39 age groups last year. “It’s just a really fun day out. People can bring their families down to the beach and everyone can have a swim,” Marshall said. The 1.2-kilometre swim at Point Roadknight Beach is a very safe environment for people to “have a crack” at ocean swimming, she said. “This swim is really popular because it’s so sheltered. No waves or currents come in the bay so it’s not hectic. You don’t have to race if you don’t want, just take your time and do your own thing.” There are a variety of age groups for juniors, seniors, champions and veterans, and great prizes are up for grabs. Rock 2 Ramp is at Point Roadknight Beach, Anglesea, on Tuesday, December 28. Entry ranges from $40 to $45 and all funds raised go directly towards improving beach safety through equipment and training at Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club.

Doing it for the kids BY ELEANOR WOODS A NEW childcare incentive will see parents share the load and reap the benefits. The LorneLife school holiday programme Kids Club offers a safe, organised, structured and fun environment for children aged four to 12, and its volunteers are the kids’ parents. If a parent volunteers their time minding a group for one three-hour session, their child gets two sessions of childcare for free. Organiser Clayton Thompson said feedback on the initiative had been fantastic.

“We’ve had a lot of interest from parents. There was a real need there,” he said. The programme – from December 27 until January 30 – is organised in conjunction with Mantra Erskine Beach Resort and operates from the Resort Ballroom. Its aim is to keep children supervised and entertained while benefiting health and enhancing social and personal development of youths through indoor and outdoor age specific activities. Four and five-year-olds will take part in story time, puzzles, party games, water balloons, karaoke, cooking and dressing up; those aged five to seven

can choose from pony rides, jumping castle joy, talent show, choir soccer and art and craft. Kids aged seven to nine could be surfing, riding bumper boats, making arts and crafts, doing yoga, pantomime, tai chi; while those aged nine to 12 will have access to swimming, canoeing, bike riding, surfing, aerobics, pottery, beach treasure hunting, video games, nature walking and beach Olympics. The sessions are offered morning, midday and afternoon and children aged three and under are welcome to attend if they have parental supervision. For more information email Clay Thompson at clay@lornelife.com

Something you can bank on BY ELEANOR WOODS A NEW era in banking has been unleashed on Anglesea. The doors to the newly renovated Anglesea Bendigo Community Bank opened earlier this month. The branch is community friendly, with rewards, incentives and community benefitting schemes in the pipeline. Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Dean Webster, was among the official guests celebrating the opening. “It looks fantastic,” he said. The bank’s senior manager, Jeremy Morris, was celebrating the milestone event, which he said showed the bank’s long-term commitment to serving Anglesea and the surrounding community. “We are in this for the long haul. We are all about working with and supporting the community and we look forward to our future in the area,” Morris said. “Unlike other banks, we are keen to give something back, which is very rewarding.”

The new branch is three times the size of the old bank and boasts a large and comfortable service area, private offices, a meeting room, staff room and storage areas.

Bendigo Community Bank has already assisted community groups from all corners of Anglesea, including working with Anglesea Primary School and local sports clubs.

Self storage growth A SURF Coast and Bellarine business has expanded to give people more space. Store & More Self Storage opened its new store at Torquay’s West Coast Business Park last week. Owners of the family business, father-son duo Kerry and Brent Hayes, were excited about the new venture. The Torquay pair started Store & More in Ocean Grove a year and half ago and realised there was a huge gap in the market. “People have a lot of stuff and nowhere to put it. Either people shift around and can’t take everything with them or businesses have extra stock they need to store. That’s where we come in,” Brent said. Store & More offers 18 different sized storage spaces, all of which are self accessible and secure. Short and long term leases are available and the service stores anything from household or commercial documents to caravans and boats. “There is nothing else in the area that is like this,” Brent said. The service also sells packaging materials including boxes and bubble wrap and will do all they can to ensure their clients’ storage needs are met. Clients are given individual pin

codes and every storage space has its own alarm. The premises is under 24-hour surveillance and insurance for property can also be arranged. Store & More provides a free

removal trailer to help clients get their stuff from A to B and staff are happy to assist in any way they can. “We really try to help out and make it as easy as possible for people,” Brent said.

Store & More is open from 9am until 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am until 4pm on Saturday. Contact the team on 5264 8448 during opening hours or visit the store and talk to the team directly.

Remembering our last Harrier hero A LARGE gathering turned out to pay their respects to Wal Snowden, who passed away earlier this month. Snowden was the last survivor of a group of Australian soldiers known as The Malayan Harriers. He was one of 15 Malayan Harriers who evaded capture by the Japanese and made their way to freedom from Malaya through Sumatra and eventually back to Australia during World War II. The men, members of the 2/29th Battalion’s mortar division, were missing in action for almost two months. However, when they finally arrived in Australia months after beginning their remarkable trek, they were not seen as heroes but were considered deserters. Snowden fought until his death for recognition that he and his 14 comrades in arms be seen as having overcome starvation, illness and great hardship in their quest to return to their homeland. “We would like to thank Wal’s many friends who attended the service held for him in the Lions Village Hall. It was a wonderful tribute to Wal. His proud family, Dot, Lyn and Michelle, thank you sincerely,” the family said.

Surfing with Metallica I WAS looking for some waves a few Thursdays ago and drove the coast from Ocean Grove to Bells looking for a decent place to get wet as the wind was howling and the surf was a pretty decent size. After getting down to Bells I decided not to go any further and to head back to Point Impossible as I’d seen a fun wave breaking on the inside reef there. As I was suiting up I noticed there was a small entourage and a guy filming at the break and thought that something might be going on, so I asked if I was going to get in their way of filming and the guys said it was fine. When I got in the water I noticed that Maurice Cole was with a couple of the guys from Metallica – Rob Trujillo and Kirk Hammett. All the guys were really cool but the conditions were a little challenging and we were all getting swept down the beach so I didn’t get a great opportunity to talk with them.

11

Anyway, we surfed for about an hour and as I was coming in they noticed the board that I was riding and started to ask questions about it. It is a Grown Surfboards 6’4” handmade hollow timber twin fin with a custom spray made in Lennox Heads by Andrew Wells. The guys from Metallica and their entourage loved the look of it so we got to talking about boards and this one especially (pictured with the guys). After a while they had to go but not before I took the opportunity to get a couple happy snaps with the lads. - Paul Raicevic, Drysdale

Rob Trujillo (left) and Kirk Hammett (right) were only too happy to have their photo taken with me.

Local stores provide funds for the community IGA STORES throughout the state contributed almost $5million to charities and community groups this year. The total – $4,999,590 – is part of the IGA Community Chest and provides funds which benefit community groups, charities and not-for-profit organizations. Over the past eight years, the national total contributed to the community chest stands at a remarkable $54million.

This year, the three major beneficiaries are Country Fire Authority, Run For The Kids and the Reach Foundation. In total this year, stores throughout Australia raised $8,108,412. “We are extremely proud to have reached over $54 million dollars and to have given another record donation back to the community,” said Mick Daly from IGA. “Victorian stores alone raised over half the total funds for the year, and we are really pleased to

be able to continue to provide critical donations to charities, not-for-profit organisations and community groups throughout the state. “On behalf of IGA and all the local charities and community organisations involved, these generous donations are possible because of the support from our customers. “By shopping at our IGA supermarkets our customers have helped all of our stores help the local community and we thank them for assisting us

in achieving this milestone. “The IGA Community Chest is an integral part of the philosophy and values on which IGA supermarkets operate and we are passionate about making a difference. “The funds are raised in each store locally and then spent locally with beneficiaries decided by local store owners and customers throughout the year.” For further information on IGA’s Community Chest, visit www.iga.com.au

Guide to unlock region’s secrets A NEW guide for the thousands of visitors who flock to the region every year was launched last week. New Geelong football club coach, Chris Scott, might know his way around the football ground, but as someone new to the region, he was the perfect choice to launch the guide at Skilled Stadium. “Which is why we invited him to launch the 2011 Visitors’ Guides,” said Roger Grant, executive

director of Geelong Otway Tourism. “We’re more than happy to help Chris fast-track his learning about the region, which is exactly what these Visitors’ Guides are meant to do for anyone coming on a visit, or moving here permanently.” Even in the age of the internet, the guides still play an important part in helping visitors find their way to the best accommodation, the best attractions

and the best activities in the region. “These guides are a real partnership between Geelong Otway Tourism and tourism operators,” Grant said. “Visitors can make full use of the guides with confidence that the operators featured in them really have something special to offer. “We deliver great choice for visitors from caravan

parks to top quality hotels, we have great adventure activities, fantastic food and wine, rail trails, golf courses – plenty for Chris to do when he gets a spare moment from coaching us to our next premiership.” The new Official Visitors’ Guides – 80,000 each for ‘Geelong and The Bellarine’ and ‘Surf Coast and Otways’ – will be distributed throughout the region and the state ahead of the busy summer season.

Solar boost for local schools

THREE local schools have won a combined $150,000 in grants to become more environmentally sustainable as part of the federal government’s $420million National Solar Schools Programme. The grants – $50,000 each to St Leonards Primary School, Saint Ignatius College in Drysdale and Mount Duneed’s Geelong Lutheran College – will help to install solar and other renewable power systems, rainwater tanks and to help implement a range of energy efficiency measures. “This is a very good programme which helps the energy efficiency of our schools but also means children attending these schools grow up with this technology as the norm,” said Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. “It’s a good example to set. I congratulate St Leonards, St Ignatius and the Geelong Lutheran College.” “This programme also shows that schools are leading the way in the community, getting smarter about their energy use and water

conservation, and it gives students the opportunity to learn about renewable energy generation first-hand.” The Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Greg Combet, said more than 2,600 schools across the nation had already been funded under the National Solar Schools Programme and more than 93 per cent of those projects included solar power systems. “This equates to approximately 11 megawatts of solar power – the equivalent of meeting the electricity needs of around 2,400 average households each day,” he said. Applications were assessed using merit-based criteria, meaning schools had to demonstrate value for money, as well as environmental and educational benefits. Applicants who were not successful in this round will be eligible to reapply in future rounds. Further information about the programme is available on the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency website: www. climatechange.gov.au

100’S OF GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS INSTORE! This is cracking Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that’s drinking beautifully at the moment. The super precise structure of the wine is just spot on and it will continue to gain in complexity. The vineyard is located right next door to the famous Cloudy Bay vineyard and all the fruit is hand picked. The addition of only 5% Semillon rounds out the palate with more fullness giving greater complexity to the overall feel of this terrific wine.

In an effort to re-focus and increase production of their more popular varieties (pinot noir/ shiraz/chardonnay), Bannockburn have decided to discontinue their ‘Estate’ range Cabernet Merlot and graft over the rootstock to their more popular varieties. Thus, to clear remaining stocks, they’ve reduced the price on this vintage. This 2005 shows beautiful bottle aged fullness, soft super smooth tannins and rich dark fruit complexity – great drinking at its normal price of $25 – absolutely sensational value drinking when you buy in lots of 3 or by the case!

BIRREGURRA green thumb Katie Cockayne is the Colac Otway Shire’s 2010 Home and Garden Awards Gardener of the Year. Cockayne maintains a two-acre garden full of flowering shrubs, roses, trees and perennials – and council’s chief executive, Rob Small, said she was a worthy winner of Gardener of the Year. “Katie not only has a beautiful garden but is well known in the Birregurra community as a gardening guru. Katie is a wonderful ambassador for gardening and our annual Home and Garden Awards� he said. Apollo Bay residents, Tom and McDougall, won the coastal category in the Home and Garden of the Year, while Jock Williamson and Jo Davie claimed the hinterland award. The McDougalls have an impressive collection of rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, maples, prunus and many other exotic trees and shrubs, planted in a bush setting next to the nursery in Apollo Bay. These have been planted on a very steep hill with a gully, all adjoined by handmade paths, steps and a bridge made of rocks over a small stream. Jock and Jo’s large well-established ornamental trees are one of the main features of this lush, hilly garden at Apollo Bay. The house overlooks bed and breakfast accommodation built on a dam filled with water lilies, an island with a bridge to it, and a jetty. Green lawns and large gardens surround the house and bed and breakfast, with abundant wildlife. Southern Heights bed and breakfast, Lavers Hill, owned by Lex and Mary Devries, also received an award for their property which provides a stunning view out onto their garden, bushland and Bass Strait. The garden includes many types of conifers, dahlias, lilliums, gladioli, hydrangeas and waratahs, while fruit and berries grown in the garden are used in the kitchen.

Dear Editor, We would like to know why there aren’t any Christmas decorations around Torquay. The amount of money residents pay in rates you would think the Surf Coast Shire Council could afford to decorate some of the streets – even if was only Gilbert and Bell streets. Why doesn’t the council get into the festive spirit and put a smile on everyone’s dial! Mary and Sophie Torquay

Council should take note Dear Editor, Like David Cheatley ‘Facilities prove a hit’ letter on December 14, I too was impressed with the new foreshore toilet block. I had written to the previous mayor, Libby Coker, asking, if attempting to charge the RACV Torquay Golf Club $320,000 to harvest stormwater over six years was a win-win outcome (her words in her weekly column) that was flatly rejected by the RACV. What did she call a later $290,000 (unpublicised) backdown by council? No reply. I suggested that council was out of touch with reality and I pointed out: • The stormwater matter. Out of touch with economic and commercial reality by a multiple of 76 – in respect to the alternative local Southern Rural Water charge • The Bunnings issue. Some councillors mismanaged the situation and put in place (and attempted to pass the blame) the conditions that allowed the Bunnings situation to develop • The construction of a vastly overpriced (more than twice the cost of a good-sized house) and over budget toilet block in the IGA car park – again exposing council’s lack of commercial and economic reality. I asked the following of the then mayor: • Given the mismanagement of the above three issues, do you believe that council can effectively manage the construction of the Community and Civic Precinct and bring it in on budget? • What was the budgeted cost of the new toilet block on the foreshore, near The Esplanade/Bell Street corner? • What was the final cost of the new toilet block on the foreshore, near The Esplanade/Bell Street corner? Over a two-month period I pursued the matter but again I did not get a reply to my questions. I emailed all correspondence to the new mayor, Dean Webster, and within two days he promptly replied: The toilet block on the foreshore was undertaken by Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC), not council, and the project cost to them was $170,000 including landscaping, water tanks and outside shower and came in on budget. The civic community precinct should be on time although the contractors have lost 40 days in wet weather having only allowed for 15 and currently the project is coming in under budget. My reply to councillor Webster was that there is something wrong with some of the council staff if GORCC can bring in that construction for $170,000 including landscaping, water tanks and outside shower, while the IGA car park toilet block construction was over $400,000.

David Cheatley’s criticism of the Gilbert Street toilet block is justified given its cost was nearly three times that of The Esplanade construction. It seems that GORCC staff and not council can get it right and that some councillors are all show and no go! It also proves that council should perhaps dispense with some officers and pinch replacements from GORCC. Ray Frost Jan Juc

A big thank you to the community Dear Editor The volunteers who work with the Torquay Food Aid would like to thank all who gave so generously towards the supply of our Christmas Food Hampers. The Lions and Rotary Club generously supplied Christmas Cakes and puddings, while Quiksilver donated gifts. Local church members provided gifts and Surf World collected both gifts and food. Many individuals who remain unknown to us also provided gifts and Christmas goodies. Help such as this is greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank Ryans IGA and Bakers Delight for their continued weekly support as well as at Christmas time. Without the support of the Torquay community and various club organisations we would not be able to continually supply, on a weekly basis, food hampers to those in our community who may be experiencing some type of difficulty. We find that the people of Torquay are most generous in their support and are truly grateful. Torquay Food Aid is a local charity which helps our local people. Anyone who finds themselves in need, for any reason, is welcome to contact the social worker at Barwon Health, one of the local churches, or the Spring Creek Community House. These will be able to help you access the local help available on a weekly basis. Once again, many thanks to the people of Torquay for your generosity. Lois Gill Secretary Torquay Food Aid

What great Christmas spirit Dear Editor, I, like many, was disappointed to hear that six hours after our community Christmas Tree was lit up and delighting so many young (and old), it was destroyed by persons who obviously have some personal issues that they need to address without causing distress to others. On Tuesday night I witnessed the ‘tree’ brilliantly lit up again and was delighted to see that there is/ are very generous trader/s in Torquay who won’t be beaten by those out to destroy good works in our community. It’s a ‘feel-good’ experience – let’s keep an eye on the ‘tree’ and report any suspicious behaviour which could lead to further destruction of this lovely ‘spirit’. David Cheatley Torquay

Ferry push against survey Dear Editor, The Bellarine Times article (December 7) entitled ‘Hope for ferry’ highlights the determination of local property investor interests to pursue the pipedream of a high-speed commuter ferry service from Portarlington to Port Melbourne – against the findings of a recent survey study. This survey found that the actual number of commuters planning to use the ferry would be “up to four hundred a day”. This figure is in dramatic contrast to ferry group publicity claiming that the service would provide three services per day for three hundred commuters on each trip – or up to nine hundred commuters per day. The huge cost of providing and maintaining two expensive high speed vessels for such a relatively small number of users – a maximum of four hundred per day, probably fewer – is hardly justified. This would be a very costly service to operate for the benefit of a privileged few, and subject to the vagaries of storms and fog for which Port Phillip Bay is renowned. A letter dated 22 September 2010 from the then Minister for Transport stated “the Department of Transport has investigated options for ferry services on Port Phillip Bay and concluded that a service between Portarlington and Melbourne is unlikely to be viable, due to a lack of patronage demand, poor service frequency and issues with service reliability”. Surely enough public money has already been spent by the ferry group spruikers without calling for more taxpayer funds to be wasted on such a doubtful project. It certainly goes against our newly elected premier’s political slogan to “cut the waste”.

A sad loss of a great volunteer Dear Editor, Cancer Council Victoria staff and supporters were deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of one of our most passionate Surf Coast volunteers, Margaret Humphreys. In 1992, following some time with the Shepparton Volunteer Unit and a move to Anglesea, Margaret became a founding member of Cancer Council Victoria’s Surf Coast Volunteer Unit and was the leader of the unit for many years. As leader of the Surf Coast Volunteer Unit, Margaret worked alongside other unit members in raising more than $160,000 for Cancer Council Victoria through a variety of fundraising activities. The funds Margaret helped to raise have played a key role in supporting life-saving cancer research, prevention programmes to help reduce cancer risk, and support services for cancer patients and their families. This work has benefited both Surf Coast residents and people living throughout Victoria. On behalf of staff at Cancer Council Victoria, I would like to extend our sympathies to Margaret’s family and friends, as well as the members of the Surf Coast Volunteer Unit.

How much is enough? BY RODD BUDGE IT IS perhaps a question that few of us give sufficient thought to as we are often caught up in pursuing our dreams and aspirations in the ‘here and now’. As the years speed past, however, it becomes increasingly important to stop and think about the years beyond retirement age and to consider whether we have sufficient funds to retire comfortably. Given many of us will spend a third of our lives in retirement, it is crucial to ensure we have enough money to live the lifestyle we want during these years. So, what impact will retirement have on our financial security and lifestyle and how much is going to be enough. We therefore need to determine how much money we will need to have the lifestyle we

want once we retire. Factors such as accumulated superannuation, pension entitlements, interest rate returns, tax and inflation come into play. We also need to consider the every day costs to maintain our current lifestyle such as food, accommodation, entertainment, utility bills health care etc. Any new costs that may come with retirement such as travel, holidays, gifts and maybe a new car also need to be considered. The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia Westpac ASFA Retirement Living Standard released in March 2010 suggests that a single retiree will need an approximate annual income of $39,000 and a couple will need $54,000 to live comfortably in retirement. Statistics also show that there is a 50 per cent chance that we may live longer than our life

expectancy. The fact that we are living longer today means we need to factor this into our retirement savings plan to ensure our money last as long as we do. Different strategies suit different people so it is important to speak to your financial planner to give you the most appropriate advice that relates to your own specific retirement needs.

Rate hold a welcome relief AUSTRALIA’S largest independently owned mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice, is delighted with the Reserve Bank’s decision to keep the cash rate cool at 4.75 per cent for the first couple of summer months. With many borrowers still re-jigging their budget in response to last month’s interest rate increases, this will bring a relief filled break of at least two months for those with variable rate home loans. That is, as long as lenders don’t move their rates independently. The RBA doesn’t officially meet again to discuss the cash rate until Tuesday, February 1, 2011. According to Mortgage Choice’s recent

2010 Consumer Sentiment Survey, nine per cent of Australian mortgage holders are already considering selling their property due to the November rate rise. Another four per cent would be in the same position had a 0.25 percentage point rise occurred this month. “The RBA’s decision will result in a large collective sigh of relief from millions of people across the country. Around one third of Australians have a mortgage and the vast majority of them are at the mercy of variable rate movements,” said company spokesperson, Kristy Sheppard. “Retailers will also be pleased, seeing as stores experienced a 1.1 per cent drop in sales

during October after only a 0.1 per cent rise during September. Steadied interest rates will hopefully see small business owners and their families having a more enjoyable Christmas too. “A stable cash rate should encourage borrowers to relax more over the festive season and treat themselves and their families while keeping in mind probable rate landscape changes in 2011. They now have a good two months of sunshine in which to take stock of their cashflow situation and perhaps seek out a home loan health check. For more information, visit www. mortgagechoice.com.au

Market View with tracey watts

China, nothing to see here THE SIGNIFICANCE of the on-going China boom to the Australian economy is beyond dispute. Indeed, what has largely insulated Australia’s mountain of debt from a GFC-induced deleveraging was not the BER nor pink batts, but an unprecedented $600billion stimulus package unleashed by the Chinese government (equivalent to 12 per cent of GDP). The stimulus has largely been directed, tsunami-like, towards new infrastructure, commercial construction and residential building. It was not just government stimulus that got poured into the Chinese economy, banks were encouraged to lend astonishing amounts of money as well. An oft quoted reason for China’s aggressive response is the government’s fear of political unrest. Investment Management Associates Inc. director of research, Vitaliy Katsenelson, explains this fear: “So, yes, the Chinese government is afraid of political unrest, and therefore they quickly released a tremendous amount of stimulus into the economy, then followed it up with encouraging bank loans equal to 29 per cent of GDP in 2009, a huge increase. “When you infuse this much debt into an economy, it’s impossible to have good capital allocation decisions. While the economy is growing, the bad debt won’t be so apparent, but it certainly will be when the economic growth slows.” Such a blunt instrument, however, has proved to be a difficult beast to control. Recent data coming out of China is showing that general inflation is starting to take off and the Chinese government, which was previously stimulating to maintain growth and keep the population content, has started to apply the brakes.

Classic ride is Bike Safe

Birthdays made easy

ORGANISERS of the 2XU Great Ocean and Otway Classic Ride, SuperSprint, are pleased to partner with Bike Safe, a group committed to improving safety for cyclists along the Surf Coast and Bellarine. The new partnership will see the ride provide positive and encouraging support to the Bike Safe programme. Now in its fifth year, the 2XU Great Ocean and Otway Classic Ride continually leaves a legacy on improving safety in the Surf Coast Shire. SuperSprint director, David Hansen, declared earlier this year that “the 2011 event will see $6,000 go towards funding for Bike Safe initiatives, such as the new ‘Share the Road’ signs which have been permanently erected on the Great Ocean Road and within the Surf Coast Shire”. The signs will assist Bike Safe in achieving their objective to improve the behaviour of cyclists on regional events, by encouraging participants to obey the road laws and for event organisers to enforce them accordingly. “This will help existing cyclists, as well as encouraging increased participation in cycling and improve traffic conditions for both cyclists and motorists,” said Barton van Laar, president of Bike Safe. “As a result, the whole community will benefit from the increased economic, health, and environmental flow on effects.” The 2011 2XU Great Ocean and Otway Classic Ride will be held on Saturday, March 26 and is expected to attract 3,500 participants and more than 2,500 spectators to the Surf Coast Shire, in particular Torquay. All participants will receive the official event jersey by 2XU as part of their entry fee. Recognised as one of the premier recreational rides in Australia, the 145-kilometre or 60km course will reach the field limit weeks before the event day – a true testament to the quality of the event and spectacular course that the Surf Coast offers. The event features the breathtaking sights of the Great Ocean Road, Otway Ranges and quiet country roads through Moriac, Deans Marsh, Lorne, Angelsea and Torquay. A festival of activities and entertainment such as a band, competitions, sponsor displays and more will be held at the start/finish area at Elephant Walk on the Torquay foreshore.

BEADS n Birthdays is an exciting new concept in birthday parties where the partygoers design and create their own unique pieces to keep forever. Michelle, the business owner, has been making jewellery and selling her creations at various market stalls throughout Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast for some time now but wanted to extend her love of creating to include teaching others to do the same, and came up with Beads n Birthdays. Every participant is able to choose from a huge range of beads and charms, and there is no restriction on the number or types of beads that the participant can choose from. Michelle is there to help each person create a truly beautiful and unique piece that they can wear for years to come. A Beads n Birthdays party can be held anywhere, in your home, backyard, or even in a park or at the beach, with all seating and shelter provided if required. Beads n Birthdays provides a gift bag for every child that includes a bracelet kit to take home and make, on top of what is created at the party, so there is no need to provide party bags or party favours for your guests! Beads n Birthdays also caters for 18ths, 21sts, hens nights or social get togethers. To enquire about a Beads n Birthdays party, phone Michelle on 0415 55 20 45 or email beadsnbirthdays@ Michelle can look after your children’s party needs. live.com.au

Stamp duty a burden for buyers THE STRENGTH of the Victorian property market has delivered another blow to new property buyers who have to work on average three months just to pay residential stamp duty taxes, according to new research by Bankwest. While the change in government will see stamp duty taxes cut in coming years, the figures from the survey make for unpleasant reading for many who have purchased a property in recent times. The latest report reveals residential stamp duty for buying the typical Victorian house is now $19,690 – an increase of $5,400 (38 per cent) over the past five years. The second Bankwest Residential Stamp Duty Report highlights an unexpected trend with Melbourne ($30,620) trumping Sydney ($25,325) as having the nation’s most expensive stamp duty bills for the median property. Melbourne stamp duty bills for the median property have risen by 76 per cent over the past five years. In the two years since Bankwest’s inaugural stamp duty research, median stamp duty bills have increased in seven out of eight capital cities, led by a 47 per cent rise in median stamp duty bills in Melbourne. The Victorian government has raised $14billion from stamp duty on property purchases – for both residential and commercial property – over the five years to June 2009. Bankwest retail chief executive, Vittoria Shortt, said the sustained rise in stamp duty bills was an ever escalating burden for home buyers. “There’s little doubt that stamp duty is among the most unpopular duties a home owner encounters and our research shows they are a significant financial add on to the cost of a property,� she said. Most homeowners in Melbourne now need to set aside or borrow four months of their household income if they want to move house. As a percentage of annual household income, the median stamp duty bill in Melbourne is 37 per cent, the highest of any Australian capital city by almost 10 percentage points. This is up from 28 per cent of annual household income five years ago. Capital city dwellers face the biggest burden with the typical home owner in more than half of capital city council areas (53%) now needing to set aside at least three months of their annual household income to pay the median stamp duty bill in their area.

ACCORDING to the latest Housing Affordability Report from the Real Estate Institute of Australia, Victoria has become the second most expensive state in Australia in which to own a home. Due to increasing house prices and interest rates, the proportion of the average family income required to pay the average loan increased from 28.2 per cent a year ago to 35.7 per cent in the September quarter. Over that time the average loan has increased by 16 per cent and the average repayment has increased by a comparatively high 34 per cent. If income had increased to a similar degree then it would make it easier for home buyers, however, the average income has only increased by five per cent. As a result of these factors the number of loans is lower than a year ago, especially so for first home buyers who don’t have the advantage of equity from the previous home to reduce the cost of the loan. These numbers help to explain the reducing clearance rate over the September and December quarters and the increasing popularity of homes in more affordable suburbs. Only NSW is more expensive; there, 37.7 per cent of the average family income is required. Costs are lower in a number of other states, for instance Western Australia where 28 per cent is required or the ACT where the figure is 18.8 per cent; however, the nationwide figure is 34.8 per cent. The average rental payment increased as well, but by only two per cent, highlighting the severe impact of interest rate increases on owner-occupiers and investors.

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

Stunning family homes

HOME buyers in Geelong and the Surf Coast looking for the latest in modern, spacious family homes now have the very latest designs showcased locally with the opening of three displays from leading, local family-owned builder Dennis Family Homes. Now open for inspection are a four bedroom Brookdale 271 Resort and a stunning four bedroom, three living plus alfresco Charlton 331 Esplanade which are both part of the popular Generations Series. Also on display from the Aspirations Series is the Harvard 271 Estate which features four bedrooms and an alfresco. Phil Shaw, Dennis Family Homes Geelong Area Manager, says the homes offer families the best in modern, open-plan living, but with multiple living areas so they can enjoy a little more privacy. “At the heart of all of these homes is a stylish, yet practical design which provides the perfect combination of large open living spaces and private retreats, all topped-off with unbeatable construction quality,” he said. The Brookdale is a popular design which really appeals to growing families. A highlight is the positioning of the four bedrooms away from the main living space for extra privacy.

For greater flexibility, the Brookdale also includes a study which is just perfect for a home office or if you have teenagers. A family favourite, the Charlton is a very spacious home. Central to the design is a large open plan kitchen, meals and living area which is ideal for family gatherings. This is balanced with ample separate living spaces so people can spread-out and enjoy their own activities. A highlight of the Charlton is the addition of a stunning alfresco adjoining the main living space. “The stylish design of both these homes is matched by the long list of modern finishing touches offered as standard. Stone benchtops in the kitchen, ensuite and bathroom, a glass spashback and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, designer vanities in the bathroom and ensuite and a physical barrier termite treatment are some of the features included in the standard price of each Generations Series home,” said Shaw.

Part of the great-value Aspirations Series, the Harvard has been designed to suit the needs of families. A design highlight is the generous amount of storage space with two walk-in robes in the master bedroom and built-in cupboards in each of the other three bedrooms. In the kitchen there is also an over-sized pantry. “Another feature of the Harvard 271 which will really appeal to large families, or home buyers who love to entertain, is the alfresco which is directly accessed from the main kitchen, meals and living area,” Shaw said. The Brookdale 271 Resort, Charlton 331 Esplanade and Harvard 271 Estate are on display in East Lakes Boulevard, Grand Lakes Estate, Lara (Mel ref: 422 H7). Displays are open weekdays 1-5pm and weekends 12-5pm. For more information about Dennis Family Homes call 1800 DENNIS, 5448 5158 or visit www.dennisfamily. com.au

Judged by industry professionals, the HIA awards acknowledge the talent of designers, builders and building companies who plan and construct quality new housing and apartments and renovations and outdoor projects.

l a v i t s Fe r e m a dre BY ELEANOR WOODS HUMBLE aural explorer Dan Kelly is bringing his colourful stage show to this year’s Falls Festival in Lorne. The Melbourne-based singer-songwriter has turned his passion for music to modest fame and global acclaim. With a load of accolades under his wing and the pressure of being Australian musician Paul Kelly’s nephew behind him, the rising star looks forward to the Great Ocean Road gig. “I love falls. It’s a very lush, rainforest festival with a real Australian feel to it. All different kinds of bands come together and play there. It’s always such an adventure,” he said. It’s been just weeks since Kelly played the Queenscliff Music festival, admitting that the pull south derives from his endearing experiences in the region. “I always have a really great time when I play down that way,” he said. “There’s something about the coast. A lot of my songs are

about water – but not in a rootsy, hippy kind of way. “My songs are adventure songs for thinkers. I like to ask all the big questions; about the end of the world, why I can’t fall in love and how I’m going to get from Lorne to The Espy in under three hours!” Kelly is referring to the mad dash that will be his whirlwind visit down the Great Ocean Road – the songwriter has a St Kilda gig to play, right off the back of his time in Lorne. “It’s a shame I won’t be able to hang out and see the whole show. Sometimes I wish I was a punter but I know I’m very lucky to be doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I can tell you right now, this isn’t a money making industry for me, but luckily people are really enjoying what I’m doing.” Kelly’s passion for playing is echoed by intangible ditties dancing down the phone line during our interview. “I still really enjoy playing my guitar. I enjoy doing what I’m

doing. I like the travel and meeting people,” he said. “You can go to a place and only spend a few hours and if you meet the right people and have a strong connection you can get a real sense of what they are about.” Dan Kelly’s Dream Band features the front man’s two teenaged cousins, Madeline and Memphis. “It’s so cool having them in the band. We have harmonica, microphones, samples of chickens, bubble machines, blow-up sharks and all sorts of gadgets and gizmos,” he said. The seven-piece band has been labeled a “jovial alt-pop act” and is sure to tickle a funny bone or two when they appear at 5pm on Friday, December 31 at the festival. “What we do is humorous and has a darker, more serious side, but our songs sound warm. We always have a good time on stage,” Kelly said. The Falls Festival runs from December 28 until January 1. More information and tickets are available at www. fallsfestival.com.au

Fortify your spirit this Christmas

AH, THE season of gift giving is nigh upon us. If you’re looking for that little something special that will give you that warm fuzzy feeling when you hand it over, then a bottle of fortified wine is satisfaction guaranteed and is likely to recreate that same feeling for the person receiving your gift when they drink it! A fortified wine from Australia’s world-class Rutherglen wine region seems an obvious choice if the person you’re buying for loves a Port, Muscat or Tokay. Muscat and Tokay can truly be labelled as uniquely Australian – no other fortified wines can offer the richness of these two fortified wines, with their extended ageing in barrels over many years, they adopt a flavour that must be tasted to be believed. I’m sure you’ve all heard of Seppelts wines before, haven’t you? Well, due to the sale of their entire fortified wine portfolio a year or two ago, their magnificent collection has now taken on a fresh new look and is known as ‘Seppeltsfield’ – the association harking back to its establishment in the Barossa in 1851. This portfolio is a priceless collection of fortified wines that spans over 150 years of winemaking, with stocks dating back to 1878. The entry level range of Seppeltsfield fortifieds are as good as any I’ve seen at this price point and offer terrific value for money… for a last-minute gift idea, or as a treat with the Christmas pudding, they make an excellent buy.

THE HIDDEN world of the local region and its love for food and wine has been revealed in a stunning new 328-page digest, Produce to Platter – Geelong and Surrounding Regions. This is the third volume in the Produce to Platter series by mother and daughter team, Jonette George and Daniele Wilton, following editions on Greater Noosa and the Mornington Peninsula. City of Greater Geelong Tourism, Major Events and Strategic Development portfolio holder, councillor Bruce Harwood, launched the book last week at a civic reception at City Hall. “Produce to Platter is a book that will be enjoyed equally by residents and visitors to our region. It uncovers the true local gems which have earned our region a reputation as a premier food and wine destination,” Harwood said. Exhaustive research revealed Geelong and surrounds to be one of Australia’s most sustainable food and wine regions, Jonette noted. “The book allows you to experience the best of this region through the eyes of its locals,” she said. “Geelong, the Moorabool Valley, the Surf Coast,

the Bellarine and the Otways are covered in the book and vineyards, restaurants, producers and provedores open their doors to give you a peek behind the scenes. “You get a glimpse of their individual lifestyles, their passion for food and wine, and their reasons d’être.” A forward by industry icon Rita Erlich positions Geelong as the hub of a gastronomic wheel spoked by the many and varied wineries, producers, restaurants, provedores and suppliers. “Geelong and its surroundings make for an unusually delicious area. It is blessed by its combination of geography and climate. Everything is here: the ocean, the bush of the Otways, the broad agricultural plains,” she says in the forward. She points to the small, family run characteristics of most of the food and wine producers, providing the distinctive flavours of the region. The book is available in soft cover (RRP $35) and hard cover (RRP $49.99), available from leading Geelong and regional bookshops, newsagents, restaurants, vineyards and provedores, and online from www.smudgepub.com.au

Seppeltsfield ‘Cellar No. 6’ Rutherglen Tokay ($20) Rutherglen and Tokay go hand in hand and this example offers rich toffee and honey aromas on the nose that carry through to the lusciously sweet, rich, flavoursome palate while the naturally fresh acidity cleans up the long, unctuous finish. Tokay – although as it is now to be known henceforth as ‘Topaque’ – is produced in the same manner as Muscat, yet is not as dark in colour as it is made from the white Muscadelle grape. Once again, Christmas cake or pudding would be an ideal accompaniment at this time of year, but Tokay is also extremely good with chocolate too.

Seppeltsfield ‘Cellar No. 8’ Rutherglen Muscat ($20) Muscat is mainly made from the Brown Muscat variety or ‘Muscat au Petit Grains Rouge’ to give it its correct name. It’s fermented, then fortified with brandy spirit, then aged in old oak barrels which results in the evaporation of the moisture content of the wine leaving behind a rich, dark syrupy liquid we know as liqueur Muscat – fantastic served with Christmas pudding! A good example to try would be this ripper from Seppeltsfield – super rich and raisiny, with good length.

Seppeltsfield ‘Cellar No. 7’ South Australian Tawny ($20) A lighter, fresher, more modern style of Port, or as its named these days ‘Tawny’ that has lovely rich fruit notes and good length of flavour on the finish. Sourced from some of South Australia’s premier wine growing regions this is a bargain for the price… try it with a mince tart or two. Merry Christmas to all!

Arts in Anglesea

with Tony Le Deux

A great Christmas tradition for all CHRISTMAS can be like popular music. Listening to the songs of your youth immediately transports you back in time – back to when life was uncomplicated and joyous. I’m sure this is common to most of us and of all ages. Christmas pudding takes me back to my grandparents, aunts and uncles fussing over sixpence coins to be found in the pudding. Traditionally in England, small silver charms were baked in the plum pudding. A silver coin would bring wealth in the coming year; a tiny wishbone, good luck; a silver thimble, thrift; an anchor, safe harbor. Despite promising good luck, these charms were more often

responsible for a choking incident or a trip to the dentist after breaking a tooth! The practice ceased when real silver coins were not available. I am glad that the tradition of the pudding remains. It should be presented flambĂŠed with the lights lowed for maximum effect and can be accompanied with brandy butter, cream, custard, ice cream or whatever the family tradition dictates. Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year to all.

‘Glad’ author goes global Tuesday 21 December 2010

THE AUTHOR of the ‘I’m glad’ children’s book range is celebrating going global. Lorne’s Cathy Phelan, 45, had already received praise and sales for her interactive range of picture books in Australia and is celebrating them being released in the United Kingdom after she was picked up by MacMillan Publishers. Down under, Black Dog Books publishes the I’m glad you’re my… series, which includes books that encourage kids to reflect on their relationships with their mum, dad, grandma, grandpa, friend or teacher. “These books are really nice because they get back to basics and get children thinking about things that are important in their lives,” Phelan said. The books, targeted at kids aged anywhere between four and 12, are formatted to include space for children to personalise the pages; exploring their relationships through pictures and words. “I think it’s such a good thing for kids to take time away from the video games or computers or TV and work on things like this,” Phelan said.

The idea for the books came after Phelan, a teacher and portrait photographer, observed the behaviour of families for many years. “Working with kids and their families I had a great insight into family relationships,” she said. “The concept is quite unique and has been really well received. I’ve had so much great feedback from people who have used the books which feels fantastic.”

BOOK GIVEAWAY AWAY

BY ELEANOR WOODS

Phelan also produced I’m Glad We Came to the Beach after being inspired by her coastal lifestyle. “The book is great because kids can take time interacting with their experience and reflecting on their time at the beach,” Phelan said. Inspired by sunny, salty, seaside life on the Great Ocean Road, I’m Glad We Came to the Beach is available in bookstores and information centres along the Surf Coast.

WIN a Cathy Phelan book If you would like to win one of 20 copies of Cathy Phelan’s children’s book, I’m Glad We Came to the Beach, email editor@surfcoasttimes.com To win, describe in 20 words or less your favourite day at the beach. Entries are for children aged 12 and under and close on January 7, 2011.

Cathy Phelan’s children’s books are being read by people around the world.

Mansion set to open doors again Tuesday 21 December 2010

HISTORIC Barwon Park Mansion will reopen to the public after undergoing a string of improvements and renovations. The mansion will re-open in January and will host the public every Wednesday and Sunday from 11am-4pm during the year, and every Saturday during January (from January 8) making it more convenient to visit the Surf Coast’s number one rural tourist attraction. Barwon Park, a National Trust of Australia (Vic) property, received a $1.1million grant from the Federal Government Jobs Fund Heritage Protection Programme to repair, renovate and upgrade the mansion. “Renovations included work on the unique decorative plaster in the main rooms and monumental entrance hall, making the 140-year-old designs more eye-catching and breathtaking than before,” said Trudi Toyne, property manager at Barwon Park. “Other work focused on repairs to the roof and improved visitor facilities.” Barwon Park is an unforgettable heritage experience for all ages. New attractions at the property include the re-instated Billiard Room, interpretative

panels in the stables and the excavated Parterre Garden area. “Once opened when you come and visit, refreshments will be available or you can bring your own picnic and enjoy the panoramic landscape from the shade of the expansive verandas,” Toyne said. Barwon Park, built in 1871 for Thomas and Elizabeth Austin, is a 42-room bluestone mansion and stables set in a sweeping rural landscape. Now nearly 140 years later substantial work has been completed, including roof works, plaster repairs and improved visitor facilities. The mansion is one of the grandest homesteads in the state and boasts outstanding architectural features, including the novel cast iron veranda, a monumental entrance hall and magnificent central staircase. Still largely in its original condition, the mansion resonates with the glory of Victoria’s pastoral heritage. Barwon Park Mansion is located at 105 Inverleigh Road, Winchelsea.

A festival for the New Year

Tuesday 21 December 2010

BLUES fans from throughout the country will converge on Murgheboluc Reserve over the New Year for the 15th Bluestone Blues Festival. The Sleepy Hollow Blues Club is proud to announce the festival will return bigger and better than ever – with a host of classy performers. This year’s festival will be held at the Murgheboluc Reserve – on the Hamilton Road on the way to Inverleigh. This two-day event is designed for families to enjoy and is always well attended by blues lovers from all over Australia. The name of ‘Bluestone’ came from the walls of the Inverleigh Hotel where the first festival was held in 1996. It was an amazing event that is still talked about today and the music from that Bluestone is still played. Since then, Bluestone has continued to

present top blues music, a fun atmosphere and good memories to the many thousands who have attended over the years. This year a number of bands that helped kick off the original festival will return – including Turning Blue, Grizzly Bros and Backstreet Blues Band (playing as the Fat Time Blues Band). This year, Wayne Jury will kick off the festivities with his own soulful voice and acoustic skills. Festival organisers are also excited that the Backstreet Blues Band have agreed to re-form (but not reform) for the festival and a party is assured, followed by Stringybark McDowell with his sweet and swampy blues and naughty sense of humour. The Grizzly Brothers are up next and they will get the revs up as the old year winds down. But there will be no winding down at the festival because bringing in the New Year is the mind-blowing Turning

Blue to recreate the 1996 Bluestone feel. New Year’s Day starts with breakfast accompanied by Dave Steel and Welcome Wagon to wake everyone up and welcome in 2011. Trailer Trash will get off the trailer and up on stage to play some of their great fun blues followed by the popular young fellas of The Mojo Corner who always have the crowd up and dancing. The festival is also delighted and privileged to welcome Sweet Felicia and the Honeytones to play. After winning the MBAS ‘Blues Performer of the Year’, they will travel from the Woodford Festival in Queensland to Bluestone. Then the Blues Reverends will host a huge blues jam session, featuring everyone who wants to get up and have some fun – what a way to start the year! For more on the festival, visit www. sleepyhollowbluesclub.org.au

Stringybark McDowell will play the festival.

BY ELEANOR WOODS SURF WORLD is set to host the second annual Surf Skate Expo. The inaugural event, in January this year, attracted more than 400 surfing and skating enthusiasts and this time around organisers are hoping to carve a new record. Surf World historian and longtime local surfer, Bob Smith, said the event – to be held on Sunday, January 2 – was an opportunity to showcase the progression of the sport through memorabilia and shared memories. “We will have an amazing array of collectable surfboards, skateboards, magazines, programmes, movie posters, LP records and other surfing and skating collectables on display and for sale, trade, and discussion,� Smith said. “It proved to be a great day last time so we hope this one will follow suit.� Collectors – or garage-brimming hoarders – were also encouraged to bring their own pieces of surf or skate merchandise or memorabilia for valuation. “Anyone can bring anything in to be valued. It is a great, interactive way to see what your stuff might be worth. One board might be battered and beat up and worth nothing but another might be worth heaps. Seeing them side by side gives people a real idea of what’s what,�

Bob Smith, pictured with some classic memorabilia, and surf and skate enthusiasts, from left, Nathan Collier, Julius Nicoletti, and Peter Pardy.

Smith said. Torquay skateboarder Pater Pardy said he was looking forward to the event. “It should be really good. I really like the old style boards. It’s great to see a bit of history and

learn how things used to be,� he said. The expo runs from 2pm-5pm at Surf World in Torquay. Entry is by $2 gold coin and anyone interested in taking part can contact Bob Smith on 0438 612 486.

THE APOLLO Bay Music Festival will light up next year with some of the best young talent coming from near and far to be a part of The Next Wave. Festival organisers last week announced that applications are now open for The Next Wave – Young Performers Competition. The competition will be presented on the Friday night of the three-day festival – to be held on April 8, 9 and 10 – with the winner earning a paid performance spot on stage on the Saturday. The Apollo Bay Music Festival has teamed up with the Colac-Otway Shire and FReeZA to present the competition which will showcase some of the brightest young musical talent around. Over the years some outstanding talent from across Australia has been on show in this competition – including The Vasco Era, The Rustys, Katie Maxwell and New South Wales songbird, Caitlin Harnett, to name just a few. All entrants must be 21 years or under as of April 8, 2011 and entries close on February 25. For more information on the competition and the three-day musical extravaganza, visit www. apollobaymusicfestival.com

Join the Blues Boot Camp fun

Tuesday 21 December 2010

SCHOOL students looking for something to keep them occupied while also learning throughout the summer holidays need look no further than the Blues Boot Camp. To be held on January 11 and 12 at the Potato Shed in Drysdale, the camp is a great opportunity for students to indulge their love for music in a friendly and fun environment. Following the two-day workshop, the students will then perform for the public on January 13. The camp is supported by the City of Greater Geelong, Sleepy Hollow Blues Club and the Potato Shed Multi Arts Centre, and is run by trained, qualified, working, experienced musicians. Whether it is pop, rock, rap, hiphop, jazz, soul or funk, their roots are traced back to West African tribal music. The communal, ‘call and response’ influence of West African tribal music is vast and significant and therefore worth understanding its application to contemporary music. Through the Blues Boot Camp, participants will gain a basic understanding

of the mechanics of the blues and gospel forms of music as well as practical ways to apply this knowledge to modern forms of music. The camp will endeavour to facilitate the individual students’ freedom of expression, combining knowledge with emotion, therefore creating a link to their peers and the listening audience alike. The camp is designed for all instruments and for students from Year 6 up to Year 12, with an intermediate ability level for instrumentalists and beginner to intermediate level for vocalists. Students with learning difficulties are also encouraged to attend. Participants will be required to bring their own instruments where possible – with drum kits, amplifiers, PA systems and microphones provided. Blues Boot Camp will provide individual and group tuition as well as ensemble coaching that will culminate in an entire ensemble public performance. The camp will also deal with performance skills and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S). Experienced, professional tutors

have the knowledge to deal with every aspect of performance and the business side of music in a practical and useful way. Facilitator and co-ordinator of the camp is Wayne Jury, who has been a professional musician for the past 35 years and a signing teacher for 15 years. Other teachers at the camp include Sandy Brady (bass and stringed instruments); Sarah Carroll (vocals, ukulele, specialty choir and vocal coach); Tim Neal (Hammond organ, saxophone, piano, flute and guitar); and Dave Steel (guitar and mandolin). Blues Boot Camp is a drug and alcohol free event and those interested are asked to register now as places are limited to 30 participants. Cost is $105 for the two-day workshop, public performance and one copy of the performance DVD, with lunch available for $15 extra per person per day. For further information contact The Potato Shed on 5251 1998 or email potatoshed@geelongcity.vic.gov.au or Wayne Jury on 0409 829 445 or email jury59@optusnet.com.au

Wayne Jury will lead the boot camp.

Be sun smart this summer WITH summer approaching, SunSmart is launching a graphic melanoma awareness campaign targeting young people and urging regional Victorians to be better prepared for the outdoors this season. SunSmart manager, Sue Heward, said research into sun protection behaviours shows young people are still not heeding the SunSmart message. “Less than a third of 13-34 year olds surveyed reported using sunscreen while outdoors during

peak ultraviolet (UV) times and only nine per cent reported they re-applied sunscreen every two hours,� said Heward. “The survey also revealed just seven per cent wore a wide-brimmed hat and less than a quarter wore a three-quarter or long-sleeved top. “These are concerning behaviours and we are advising Victorians, especially adolescents and young adults, to be sun savvy this summer.�

Heward said as we enter the peak UV season in Victoria, it is critical people are protecting their skin as it is UV that causes sunburn, tanning, skin and eye damage and skin cancer – not the temperature or amount of sunshine. “The Dark Side of Tanning campaign is a graphic reminder of the damaging impact of overexposure to UV radiation and the deadly nature of melanoma, which is the second most common cancer in

Victorians aged 13-29,� she said. “Melanoma only has to be 1mm deep to be dangerous and it can spread and reappear in vital organs years after it has been cut out of the skin.� Two television commercials are running as part of the campaign, targeting both young men and women. These will be running on regional television and cinemas, online and supported by outdoor advertising on billboards and at shopping centres.

Barwon Health praises volunteers

A hat should be an essential part of your summer wardrobe. Image courtesy of Queensland Health 2010

BARWON Health has hosted its annual Volunteers Christmas party to celebrate the organisation’s valued volunteers. The volunteer Christmas party is a chance to give thanks to all those who give up their time to make a positive contribution for the benefit of the Barwon South West region. Barwon Health has more than 1,000 volunteers providing innovative, rewarding activities and support to a variety of areas within the organisation. One such volunteer, Betty Murphy, has devoted 45 years to the service. Betty Murphy was the recipient of an award at the volunteers Christmas party for her many years of dedication at the McKellar Centre chapel. Betty helps to co-ordinate Catholic services which are held monthly at the chapel and she also co-ordinates the volunteer support which includes transporting residents to and from the chapel. Betty welcomes new patients and residents to the facility and ensures they are made aware of the services she helps to provide.

Giving much needed one-on-one support to residents, Betty is a supportive figure at the McKellar Centre. Such is her dedication to serve with distinction, Betty has also played a leadership role in redeveloping chapel services in joining with other denominations. Barwon Health chief executive officer, David Ashbridge, was in attendance at the volunteer Christmas party and expressed his gratitude to Volunteer Services. “All our volunteers have something of value to offer the community within Barwon Health and allowing volunteers to further develop their attributes as well as learn new skills, is vital in ensuring we provide quality care in all areas,� he said. “Barwon Health is incredibly grateful to have a person like Betty Murphy and greatly appreciates her work for those in the community and our organisation. “If it were not for [our volunteers] invaluable work, Barwon Health would not be the accommodating, caring and comprehensive health service it is today. Volunteers truly are the lifeblood of this organisation.�

Sail with the stars THE LOYAL Foundation hosted its second annual ‘Sail with the Stars’ gala dinner in Sydney earlier this month. Chairman of the Loyal Foundation, Anthony Bell, has brought together some of Australia’s most distinguished yachtsmen and some of the country’s top sportspeople to compete on board the Investec Loyal super maxi in the 66th Rolex Sydney Hobart yacht race. The 2010 Investec Loyal crew will include Matthew Hayden, Geoff Huegill, Layne Beachley, Phil Kearns, Phil Waugh, Danny Green, with Channel 7’s Larry Emdur, veteran Skipper Sean Langman and the professional race crew of Billy Merrington, Michael Coxon, Anthony Nossiter, Will McCarthy, Nick Burridge, Noel Drennan, David Rolfe, and Morgan White. Last year the Loyal Foundation raised $700,000 for 14 of Australia’s most needy charities from their campaign and Investec Loyal came fourth in the Rolex Sydney Hobart race. This month’s function raised more than $600,000, putting the Loyal Foundation well on its way to exceeding last year’s total. “We have chosen The Humpty Dumpty

Foundation as our major beneficiary this year. Humpty support many children’s hospitals and health services across Australia, providing much needed medical equipment that saves the lives of babies and children daily,� said Bell.

THIS Christmas Scope, a leading disability service provider in the State, needs to raise $228,000 to supply and fit 19 children with a Hart Walker through Scope’s GoKids programme. The Hart Walker, an orthotic walking frame encourages children living with a disability to walk independently. They cost $12,000 each which

covers the Hart Walker purchase and the fitting together with the therapy and refitting as the child grows older. “Through the communities’ support this Christmas, Scope has raised $120,000 towards providing Hart Walkers for children,� said Scope chief executive officer, Diana Heggie.

The Loyal Foundation is a pure charity, with every cent raised making its way toward eligible charities. For more on the foundation, visit www. loyalfoundation.com.au

With the Sun, Mars and Pluto all in Capricorn, you’re in bossy boots mode as you make unilateral decisions and ride roughshod over others. If you order loved ones around too much, everyone will end up with a bad case of indigestion on Christmas Day. Your motto for the week? “The highest form of control is knowing when to let go.”

Rushing Rams – have you been so busy that you’ve left most of your shopping to the last minute? If you get organized ASAP, you’ll find the food and gifts you need without too many dramas. Saturday’s Moon is in your celebration zone, so your mantra for Christmas Day is from birthday great, Henry Miller “Do anything, but let it produce joy.”

Eclipse energy prompts you to behave in ways that are a mystery even to you. Issues from years gone by could also arise, as you reminisce about an old relationship or Christmases past. On Xmas Day, be clear and concise in all modes of communication and stay away from gossip or you’ll end up in hot water – not a good place for a Crab!

Saturn’s in your sign so you want everything to be 110% this Christmas, as your perfectionist streak goes into hyper-drive. Lower your standards (and your stress levels) Libra! Your motto for the week is from Quentin Crisp (born on Dec 25, 1908) “Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities, but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.”

With the Moon in your domestic zone, chances are you’ll be entertaining the hordes at home this Xmas. Don’t rush. Bulls operate best at a steady speed so make sure you delegate tasks and keep things simple. You don’t have to go over the top in order to have a wonderful week. By the time Sunday arrives, you’ll be ready for a well-earned rest.

The Moon’s in your sign on Christmas Day, so it will be easy for you to switch into celebration mode – but you’ll also feel more impatient. Try to keep your Yuletide cool! The secret to a successful festive season for lively Lions is not rushing. Plus don’t overdo things - whether it’s eating, drinking, partying or spending. Moderation is the key.

Scorpio is a sign of extremes and, with indulgent Venus visiting your sign, chances are you’ll overdo the Christmas cheer and Yuletide shenanigans. Pace yourself, especially when it comes to alcohol and parties. And don’t leave gift shopping and meal preparation to the last minute or you’ll just end up feeling tired, emotional – and overwhelmed.

The Lunar Eclipse activates your drama zone, so others can expect some entertaining (and unpredictable) antics from Aquarians this week. You tend to overdo the Christmas celebrations and can end up a sad and sorry soul by Boxing Day. With three planets in your solitude zone, you’ll need time to recover from an overdose of merry mayhem.

With the Lunar Eclipse in Gemini (and Mercury still retrograde) Twins are at your temperamental best – and worst. Your gusto for garrulous gossip could get you into double trouble so avoid passing on scuttlebutt. And your excitability factor is set on high so pace yourself, otherwise you’ll end up with festive fatigue well before Xmas Day!

Expect a hectic Xmas Day with plenty of family fiascos, as Mercury (your ruling planet) reverses through your domestic zone. It certainly won’t be boring! Plan ahead; share the jobs around; and don’t feel you have to organize (and micro-manage) everything yourself. Good deeds done now will lead to good fortune for versatile Virgos in 2011.

As you hurtle into an emotionally-charged Xmas period, think carefully before you say or do anything controversial – especially with loved ones. Jupiter gives you a confidence boost on Thursday, as you look to the future with optimism and enthusiasm. You have big plans and noble intentions for 2011, but don’t promise more than you can deliver.

You love to party and participate in Yuletide revelry. Just make sure you’re pulling your weight when it comes to preparations and cleaning up, or you’ll be very unpopular – and lonely – by the end of the week. Keep focused, do your share of the work, and don’t rest on your Piscean posterior! Start writing down your goals and dreams for 2011.

Victory at home break

TORQUAY Boardriders will go to Sydney in early February for the national final of the Jim Beam Surftag Series, after winning the Victorian leg at Jan Juc beach on the weekend. The Jim Beam Surftag Series is Australia’s premier club series and whoever wins in Sydney takes bragging rights as the best club in Australia. Torquay’s talent-packed team boasted Nic Muscroft, Jack Perry, Troy Brooks, Cahill Bell-

Warren and Peter Hughes and was on form to beat six rival clubs from Victoria and South Australia to win the event. In less than ideal conditions, it was Torquay and their second team Torquay B who dominated early, both posting strong wins to reach the final. Posting a massive total of 106.02 in the decider, the Torquay A team easily outpointed Phillip Island on 84.54, Seaford on 78.43 and Torquay B on 55.71.

SURFCAST DEC 22

Torquay team surfer Cahill Bell-Warren set up victory with his combined score of 28.83/40.00 – the highest of the final. “The waves were pretty standard for Jan Juc, pretty much just 3ft slop, but I guess we surf it like that everyday so we had the advantage,” he said. “Our club motto is go hard or go home and I’m pretty sure we sent all the other clubs home today. “We entered two teams for the first time this year

and we both won our opening heats and made the final. “I guess I had a bit of a blinder in the final but all the boys surfed so well, everyone stuck to the plan, found some scores and managed not to fall off. “There has always been a pretty healthy rivalry between Torquay and the clubs from the East Coast but we were just really stoked to get past Phillip Island at the end.”

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB

WITH MARGOT SMITH

THE GOLF year is officially over with the last of the break up days on Wednesday. The men managed a sausage sizzle, Santa (or was it Phantom?) and some golf, followed a few pre-dinner drinks. One player started as a big winner, scoring two bottles of his favorite drink in the raffle but the luck didn’t continue as one bottle failed to make it into the cab for the trip home – smashing on the driveway. We sure it was a good day, and usual on the last day, everyone won something even if no one won the golf.

Thursday results It was the first of the medley field Thursdays and the ladies outnumbered the men four to one. Vida Brenner had the day’s best score with 5 up and Frank Funder had the next best with 3 up. NTPs were Adam Kennedy, Ann Stokes, Vida Brenner and Glenda Deans.

Men’s competition The men had the choice of blue or black for the Saturday par event and there was plenty of indecision at the pro shop counter!! Sanity prevailed on most occasions, with a little help from Brownie. Great to see a number of visitors take advantage of the special guest rate and they certainly enjoyed the fabulous condition the course is in.

SPECIAL 2011/2012

Fitness tips for your golf Golf is meant to be about leisure and relaxation, but it’s only like that if you have the strength, stamina and balance to play the game properly. The best of the professionals focus on their fitness and health – not just practicing hitting balls. Common ailments are back and joint pain, which can be alleviated by regular exercises such as swimming and running to strengthen the lower body and hips. Strengthening abdominal muscles and helps avoid back pain and riding a stationary bike will improve leg strength. So when you’re thinking about that New Year’s resolution to lower your handicap, start planning the fitness regime to help.

Tim Jarman won the black tee comp with a great score of three up. Ben Eccles finished runner-up with 2 up and will be delighted his handicap has now dropped to scratch! Jason Draper won the blue tee comp with 6 up from Rick McNamara from Torquay Golf Club on 5 up. On Wednesday, the men had to battle the wind for the 4BBB stableford competition. Chris Hill and Ted Matson proved to be a dynamic duo winning with 48 points. Chris is one of our new members and has obviously taken a liking to the course with some great results in recent weeks. Or, it could be the advice given by father-in-law Leighton? Graeme Hardy and Craig Hunter finished runner-up with 47 points. Don Little won NTP on the 7th while Rod Carroll won NTP on the 13th.

On Saturday the women also played a stableford event and it is terrific to see Sarah Tokolyi in the winners circle. Sarah won the comp with 35 points.

Clubhouse news This week is Matt Carboon’s last week at the club. Matt has decided to leave and we thank him for his hard work over the last four years and wish him all the best for the future.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

From the pro shop IT’S BEEN an exciting week at The Sands as we follow the fortunes of teenage member Deyen Lawson as he attempts to gain his Australasian PGA tour card. The first stage of qualifying school was held at Sandhurst Golf Club last week. Deyen was the leading qualifier with a four round total of 3 under par. This week Deyen will compete in the final stage of qualifying with four rounds at Peninsula Golf Club. His aim is a top ten finish which will give him entry into all Australasian tournaments and a spot in the final stage of the One Asia qualifying school. We wish him well and I know many of our members are following his rounds with keen interest.

The Sands Golf Club

Weekend results Saturday was the best day for golf with a little drizzle to start the day followed by only one quick sharp deluge. The results proved very interesting for the men with all the winners and runners up in all three grades scoring 5 up. Frank Fowler won A grade on a countback from Keith Turner; Peter Atherden won B grade on a countback from Damian Withers, and in C grade, Ken McLennan, father of Surfcoast VCE star Darcy, the countback from Daryl Britnell. In the women’s Lyn Webber won with 4 up and Claire Jackman was runner up with square. NTPs were John Etherington, Steve Martin, Tony Fry and Darren Turner. Sunday was far less pleasant, in fact verging on awful. The early starters were caught in the worst of the weather and many adjourned to the clubhouse to warm up or wait to see if it cleared. A few hardy folk did go out and we will report on their adventures next week.

Women’s competition The women had fine conditions for their stableford comp and Beryl Westbrook had a day to remember. Beryl came in with a fabulous 44 points and great to see her finish the year on a high. Not to be outdone, Ann Scott also had a great score and was runner-up with fourty points. Marianne Bridgart won NTP on the 13th.

Twilight golf The rain threatened to spoil yet another twilight evening, but thankfully it moved on and allowed members to enjoy the nine hole stableford event off the white and red tees. There was plenty of festive cheer with a scrumptious Christmas dinner following golf. Mick McLean won the night on a countback from Anne Udvardy with 23 points, while Joan Anderson was third with 22 points. Christmas cakes were up for grabs for the NTP’s and these were won by Mike Flemming and Rod Carroll. It was great to see so many enjoy the dinner and then members, guests and local residents heard the latest news on the forthcoming Surfcoast Knockout by tournament director Rod Leembruggen. On behalf of the Pro Shop, I would like to wish our members and visitors to the course a very happy Christmas. Let’s hope Rudolph has plenty of birdies tucked in his sleigh for all of us! Happy golfing!

This year there will be a 9 hole summer trophy calculated on the best 4 scores of the 6-week competition. Get your entries in at the clubhouse. On behalf of the president Greg, captain Gary and your golf committee I would like to wish all members a safe and happy Christmas and lots of good golfing in the new Year.

WITH CHRIS BARR

AS THE silly season gets busier it seems a game of golf provides a break from the rush and time to recharge, so despite the lure of the malls, the fields have been strong this week. The women played a stableford round on Tuesday with Bev Appleton topping the list scoring 46 points from Lois Matthews who has 45. June Laidler and Inge Oliver picked up the NTPs. During the summer break many of the lady members still play on a Tuesday. Many of our country members are in town for a holiday and it is a good chance to catch up on news. Remember that during December and January it is an open event on a Tuesday so you will need to book, as there are lots a green fee players looking for a game. The men also had a single stableford round on Wednesday. Playing the shortened course means that scores are high. Bill Higgins headed a strong field with 45 points he also topped the A grade list winning on a

Fighting fit BY ELEANOR WOODS TORQUAY’s Dan Cherubin has fought for a name for himself on the world Brazilian jiu jitsu stage. Cherubin has taken out Victorian, national and international titles in the sport, making him a Surf Coaster not to messed with. Most recently, the 29-year-old won the 97-kilogram and up black belt division of the Pan Pacific Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship in Melbourne last month; one title in a long list of accolades he has earned. The humble father of newborn baby, Lola, first realised his passion for the martial art playing in a friend’s backyard, at age 13. Now the black belted gold medal mogul has transformed his passion into a successful career in the sport. “I’d never really done anything like it, but once I did, I fell in love with it,� he said. “Brazilian jiu jitsu is so distinct. It has real flare and cultural flavour.� The fit father now runs the Cherubin Jiu Jitsu Academy in South Geelong. “We have such a great group of people so we are always growing and learning which takes us from strength to strength,� he said.

“Every day it is different. Every time you fight someone new, it is different. That is what I love about it. You have the freedom to react in new ways.� Cherubin welcomes people of all ages and competence levels to train at the academy, saying that the art is of benefit to anyone. “It doesn’t matter if you’re black (belt) or white (belt). The sport is especially good for women and children because it is non-violent but teaches self defense and self awareness,� he said. “It also improves strength and flexibility and it is really fun. It gives you the leverage and technique to be a stronger person.� According to Cherubin, the sport is very different to traditional Japanese jiu jitsu; in the Brazilian style close to 95 per cent of the action takes place on the ground “It’s structured differently and is more relaxed. The Brazilian style allows you to do more creating. It’s kind of like surfing in a way. You never know exactly what each wave will be like so you respond differently each time, even if you are doing the same move, you adapt it to suit the conditions,� Cherubin said. If you would like to learn more or get involved visit www.cherubinjiujitsu.com.

Bike safe THE AMY Gillett Foundation participation bike ride will be safer than ever before. This year the ride, on Sunday, January 2, is expected to attract more than 2,500 professional and recreational cyclists in a bid to improve the relationship between motorists and cyclists. AGF patron Phil Anderson said the event, which is the sixth of its kind in Geelong, will see some changes which will make next month’s Amy’s Ride the safest yet. “This year the entire course will be swept specifically before the event. Riders will start in bunches of 100 (split into fast and slow) and each bunch will be accompanied by a number of pro riders who will brief each group on key safety and behaviour expectations prior to the start,� Anderson said. New motorcycle marshals will police group behaviour on the road to Portarlington and key expectations on rider behaviour will be communicated to all entrants in the lead up. Additional marshals for key intersections will be located where local traffic may be held up.� The AGF announced $5,000 from the proceeds of Amy’s Ride Geelong will be used to sponsor Bike Safe’s awareness programme. Spokesperson for Bike Safe, Felicity Dales said the money would make a big difference to reducing the number of cyclist injuries in the area.

TIDE TIMES

THE COUNTDOWN to Christmas is well and truly on and I know a lot of people are looking forward to enjoying their holidays, and the chance to kick back and enjoy some real good fishing. For those who have access to a boat the ocean is producing some fantastic fish; snapper are certainly the prize fish at the moment, gummy sharks are in good numbers and other species are also fishing well. For those who fish from the rocks and beaches, pinkies are being caught, salmon are still around, while whiting and mullet are also being taken. Squid are also proving a bonus for a lot of people with some really good squid being taken both from piers and rocks and boats. Our inland waterways are also producing some good fishing with stocked waterways seeing great trout fishing, while other waterways producing some nice redfin. A lot of people are also enjoying some yabbying with good quantities being taken from dams for those who have access to them.

Anglesea River Update

All of our rivers are fishing well, except the Anglesea River, the impact this will have over the summer season upon those that rely upon this system for not only their business but also for their holiday enjoyment, will no doubt continue to be adversely affected. That is until such time as the system is rehabilitated, but when the governing authorities are still refusing to do anything to help the system or to look towards

its rehabilitation this will be a long time from now. For those authorities to suggest otherwise and that the river will heal itself in a short time, is a comment that is not only insulting to those who have been affected by this environmental disaster, but also just shows the lack of understanding these departments have as to how our river systems work. The best bream nursery on the Surf Coast has been wiped out. Bream which were 25 years or older and have survived to reach prime breeding age, where killed in this system, over a approximately a twomonth period, as a result of the degradation of the river. These cannot be replaced overnight, especially if no rehabilitation of the system is undertaken. With a decimated food chain, including small marine life and organisms dead as well as seagrass and other plant life on the bottom of the river, the wellbeing and health of the river continues to be at risk. It will be quite some time before this system can even begin to hope to recover naturally. No amount of spin will cover up their failure to protect this system our community nor the lack of action taken on behalf of all Victorians in protecting our assets.
