Owner of Torquay Fish and Chips says Friday night’s fire will not bring an end to 10 years of hard work

BY NATHAN HALE TORQUAY Fish and Chips owner Jim Tsiantas has vowed to rebuild his beloved shop after it was gutted by fire on Friday night.

For the past decade, Tsiantas has built the Gilbert Street store into one of the town’s most popular food shops.

At around 10pm on Friday night, after Tsiantas had cleaned and locked up the shop, he received a call from a friend saying the shop was on fire. “I was – and still am – in shock‌ I don’t really know what to say,â€? he said yesterday. “From what I have been told by the investigators it looks as though there was a fault inside one of the fryers.â€?

Despite the fire, Tsiantas said the shop will reopen as soon as possible – and he also took time to thank his loyal customers. “I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of the locals who have been so loyal and supported us for many years,� he said. “And to all the customers, I want to say that we will be back and operational as soon as possible.

“I am looking forward to rebuilding the shop and everyone will see a bigger, better and brighter fish and chip shop. “As soon as we can, we will be back up and running.�

Torquay Crime Investigation Unit detective sergeant, Craig Blunt, said investigations are currently being carried out by Energy Safe Victoria.

Blunt said police guarded the shop throughout Friday evening, cordoning it off, and it remained this way until Saturday when investigators had removed the vat.

The shopfront is currently boarded up. “There is no issue whatsoever as to everything being turned off,� he said. “It just appears to be one of those electrical faults that can happen. “There looks as though there was a malfunction of some sort in the units that sit under vat three of the fryers. “It appears as though this has turned on the vat and knocked out the thermostats which meant the oil kept heating and heating and has eventually caught fire. “The CFA and Energy Safe Victoria are investigating in conjunction with each other, and Energy Safe Victoria has taken the unit away for investigation, but it does seem as though it was purely an electrical fault. “It is unfortunately one of those things that can happen.�

In other news from the weekend, Blunt and the crime unit is investigating a buck’s night incident which left an Anglesea Hotel bouncer with fractures to his face.

The group had been drinking at the Aireys Inlet Hotel before moving onto Anglesea, where they were refused entry as they were intoxicated.

A scuffle ensued, with the bouncer knocked to the ground and attacked by a member of the party. One man has been arrested in relation to the assault.

Remembering Black Saturday

Editor Nathan Hale

editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au

With the first anniversary of Black Saturday commemorated last weekend, I would like on behalf of the Surf Coast community to extend my condolences and best wishes to all who are rebuilding their lives at this time.

I also extend best wishes to all local governments in the bushfire affected areas as they go about the enormous task of re-building infrastructure, facilities and communities.

The tragic events of February 2009 passed on a number of important lessons – many of which have been well documented through the Bushfire Royal Commission. On the Surf Coast, the lesson is stark – that we must never be complacent about the risks we face.

Local government plays a vital role in disaster preparation and recovery and in this context; February is an important month for council as it is the hottest month of the year on the Surf Coast.

This means we need to remain vigilant in preparing for bushfire and heatwave. Please be sure to keep tuned to weather forecasts and bushfire danger ratings over the coming month to help you prepare.

The Prepare, Act, Survive mantra remains important during February. Over coming weeks, please ensure that you continue to manage fine fuels and be particularly vigilant about vegetation like grasses that might grow rapidly after summer rain – and dry equally quickly in the heat.

If you’re visiting the Surf Coast, please talk with your accommodation provider about any fire safety arrangements they have in place.

Please also ensure your bushfire survival plan is ready to be exercised and that you know what your triggers to leave will be and where you plan to seek safety. No one should plan to seek refuge at a Neighbourhood Safer Place. It is particularly important on Code Red Catastrophic fire danger rating days that people in fire prone areas leave early to avoid risks like traffic congestion.

Be prepared for the heat Another issue the Surf Coast faces, particularly in February, is the potential for heatwave conditions.

We all must be prepared – particularly our senior citizens, families with young children, people with disabilities and others who are more sensitive to heat stress.

In extreme heat conditions, please avoid strenuous activity, stay out of the sun where possible and look out for anyone you know who may be at risk.

Heatwaves also bring heightened risk of power failure, due to increased demand for energy to run appliances such as air conditioners. These are issues we must all consider.

Council will be taking extra measures to support its Home and Community Care Clients during heatwave conditions.

For more information on preparing for heatwave conditions, visit the Victorian Government’s Better Health website at www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au

Timeshare dog regulations A quick reminder that timeshare dog regulations continue to apply in a number of beach areas on the Surf Coast throughout February.

These measures are in place to protect the safety of beach goers and the environment.

If you’re a dog owner, please ensure you are

aware of the regulations as they will continue to be enforced.

This means dogs are not allowed in timeshare areas between 9am and 7pm. Please ensure you know where timeshare areas are. If you’re uncertain, contact council or download a brochure from the Latest News section of council’s website www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au

A career opportunity with a difference If you’re looking for a career in child care and are passionate about caring for children and looking for a way to work from home; now is the ideal time to consider becoming a Family Day Care provider.

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

Council runs a Family Day Care service in the Surf Coast Shire that has consistently achieved extremely high standards in its accreditation by the National Childcare Accreditation Council.

With school returning, we are now looking for new carers. In support of carers, council regularly provides development opportunities and assistance in gaining qualifications and training.

New carers may also be eligible for start-up assistance grants. For more information, contact council on 5261 0600.

Warm Regards

Jan Juc footpath fight continues

BY NATHAN HALE JAN JUC residents continue to await the outcome of a letter of complaint lodged to the Minister for Local Government over submissions into the proposed footpath special charge scheme.

Residents’ group spokesman, Steve Burton, said the letter was sent following the lodging of late submissions. “We were told that because the submission period was being held over the holiday period that late submissions would be accepted if people were away on holidays,� Burton said. “We have about 60 submissions lodged which we know were not accepted, and that is why we have sent a letter of complaint to Richard Wynne. “We have sent some documentation to him saying that he needs to intervene and order the Surf Coast Shire to accept the late objections. “We have also notified Libby Coker and told her that we believe the only morally correct decision is to accept the submissions.�

Burton said the acceptance of the 60 submissions would take the total very close – or even over – the 934 mark.

If this mark is reached the Surf Coast Shire is required to drop the proposed charge.

It has also emerged that council attempted to gain federal government funding for the Jan Juc pathways project in May last year, prior to the introduction of the proposed special charge scheme.

Council approached Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, to secure funding,

however, this was knocked back. “We told council that there appears to be an overwhelming level of concern in relation to both the funding of the footpaths and where they are being placed, and that our advice to council was they needed to talk to the community a whole lot more before we progress any further,� Cheeseman said.

Mayor Coker said council is always active in seeking government funding wherever possible for local projects, and the Jan Juc pathways project was no different. “In May 2009 council put in a grant application for federal funding towards the construction of pathways throughout Jan Juc,� Coker said. “Advice received before council made contact with residents regarding the proposed funding arrangements indicated the application was unsuccessful. “Had the application been successful, council would have still robustly consulted with residents on the project and continued to commit its funds to improve pathways. “On community engagement, we certainly have achieved this in regard to the proposed Jan Juc Special Charge Scheme. “We are talking with, and listening to, the 880 or so residents and ratepayers who have submitted to this proposal. “In fact we are holding four nights of submission hearings so that people can have their say. “And we will feed their suggestions and ideas into the final decision. “We have a good track record of listening and responded to community feedback.�

And the lucky winners are...

There were plenty of thrills last week when the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times Sizzling Summer Giveway was drawn. Almost $5,000 worth of prizes were given away, including the two major prizes, a McTavish surfboard and a 32-inch LCD television. Trevor Elsworthy from Elsworthy’s Retravision presented Torquay’s Sarah Putland with her prize (above) while Torquay’s Chris Bollinger showed his delight when presented with his surfboard by TigerFish’s Nikki Matthews and the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times editor, Nathan Hale.

Surfrider set for big year THE SURFRIDER Foundation’s newly appointed general manager, Kristy Theissling, has visited Torquay to attend a series of meetings with members of the surf industry and attend the local Surf Coast branch monthly meeting.

Theissling has a long background working for community based organisations and she has played a key role in the foundation’s recent remote marine debris project in Tasmania where volunteers travelled to remote parts of South-West Tasmania to collect marine debris from isolated beaches.

This is part of the National Marine Debris Initiative Surfrider Foundation partners with Tangaroa Blue.

Since 2004 the initiative has seen more than 500,000 pieces of marine debris collected from Australian beaches.

At the meeting, local Surfrider members also had

the chance to meet with newly elected chairman of the foundation national board, Dr Rex Campbell.

Dr Campbell has been involved with the foundation for almost two decades and played a key role in stopping an ocean outfall being built at Warriewood on the northern beaches of Sydney.

The local branch is gearing up for a big year – at the meeting key issues identified included beach litter (and other marine debris), revegetation, climate change and development along Spring Creek.

Surfrider Foundation Australia is a not for profit, apolitical organisation dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches for all people through CARE: Conservation, Activism, Research and Education.

Let your voice be heard

BY NATHAN HALE SURF Coast Ratepayers Association is calling on residents to take a stand and make their voice be heard.

President Spencer Leighton said with impending changes along the Surf Coast, such as the development of Armstrong Creek, residents needed to have their say.

“The Surf Coast Community and Ratepayers Association represents ratepayers, but is mainly Torquay based,” Leighton said.

“We have other associations in Lorne, Bellbrae etc. who represent ratepayers in their areas, but mainly there is a marked apathy among residents until something actually affects them and then they protest.

“By that time it is too late – we need you to take an interest now.

“We need ratepayers’ groups in Lorne, Aireys, Fairhaven, Anglesea, Deans Marsh, Winchelsea, Bellbrae, Moriac.”

Leighton said members from surrounding communities would ideally be “activists who have plenty of time to ask questions”.

“These activists need to be able to report back to meetings. They are our bulldogs and without them we can’t function,” he said.

“If you have spare time and are looking for the excitement of asking embarrassing questions to officials, we need you.”

The Surf Coast Ratepayers Association meets every third Thursday at the Torquay Senior Citizens Centre in Price Street from 7.30pm.

It costs $10 to become a member of the association, and anyone interested in joining can phone Spencer Leighton on 5261 3431.

The torrential rain didn’t deter fans from flocking to Anglesea beach last Thursday to watch reigning National Rugby League premier Melbourne Storm hit the surf for some pre-season training. All the big names were on hand, including star fullback Billy Slater. Photo: STEVE RYAN

Bus support needed “Securing a trial service is one step towards providing a future service. It’s important that everyone in Moriac that believes there is a need for an ongoing service votes with their feet and gets behind this trial,� she said.

The service runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, making three return journeys from Moriac to Waurn Ponds daily and two return journeys from Moriac to Torquay.

Stops include: • The intersection of Buttercup Drive and Hendy Main Road in Moriac and Moriac Primary School • Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre and the Waurn Ponds Hotel • Bellbrae Hall • The intersection of Great Ocean Road and Ocean View Boulevard in Jan Juc • Bell Street and the intersection of Pearl and Boston streets in Torquay.

Full timetables for the service are available from the shire’s Grossmans Road, Torquay, customer service and the Torquay Visitor Information Centre, Moriac General Store, on board the bus or from the shire’s website, visit www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au

LOCAL residents are being urged to make the most of a public transport trial linking Moriac with Torquay, Bellbrae and Waurn Ponds.

Surf Coast Shire began the trial service in December, and it will continue to run until Sunday, April 11.

Once the trial is completed, service numbers will be forwarded to the department of transport – which will ultimately decide whether there is a need for a continued service.

Shire mayor, Libby Coker, described the bus trial as an important development in Moriac. “The provision of affordable and practical public transport has long been an issue in the Surf Coast Shire, particularly our inland areas,� Coker said. “The Moriac bus provides a service for people of all ages to help with visiting friends, running errands, travelling to the beach or activities like heading to the movies. “As with all trials, it’s vital that people support it in order to demonstrate the ongoing need for a public transport service.�

Coker said an average of 14 people have used the bus each day during the trial.

Something to sink your teeth into Local playwrights Janet Brown and Sandy Fairthorne discuss their writing by the Anglesea River.

UnitingCare is Australia’s leading community service provider and helps up to 500,000 people in Victoria and Tasmania each year.

SES volunteers hit the water The first training session provided plenty of opportunity for practice, as trainees learned to manoeuvre the boats, nose them onto moorings, reverse, tow and solve real life problems like a broken bilge.

This month finally saw the trainees hit Port Phillip Bay to put the theory into practice and under extremely blustery conditions, the first training session proved to be quite a wet one.

“Although we all got very wet, learning to operate the boats in those sorts of conditions was actually really good practice,” says Bellarine SES volunteer and trainee Sarla Holmes.

“We don’t just learn how to operate the boats, but also how to launch and retrieve them, problem solve mechanical issues and rescue people who may be trapped in flood waters or other water emergencies.”

If you are interested in joining the SES, visit www.ses. vic.gov.au

DSE0005_TSC

CALL OUTS to road accidents and long days spent on rooftops and strong winds are usually the first things that come to mind when thinking of the State Emergency Service (SES).

For the last six months, however, volunteers of the Bellarine and Geelong SES have been on the water, training to gain their qualifications in rescue as a boat crew person.

“It is a very comprehensive course, but allows qualified crew to be operational anywhere in Victoria and potentially Australia should an emergency require the State Emergency Service to activate their rescue boats,” said Bellarine Unit controller, Patrick Culton, who qualified as a crew person for the rescue boats in 2009 and has been on hand to help the new trainees in 2010.

Trainees are able to obtain their Victorian boat licence and learn about various boats and parts, anchors, navigation, trailers, emergency and standard operating procedures, undertaking risk assessments and much more.

Leijer flies the Victory flag on the Surf Coast

BY SARAH LAWRENCE MELBOURNE Victory’s Adrian Leijer has played soccer at the highest level – yet few people know of the star’s association with the Surf Coast.

Leijer has enjoyed a stint in the powerful English Premier League and represented the Qantas Socceroos at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Now 23, Leijer grew up in Jan Juc from the age of 14 and attended Belmont High School in Geelong where he joined the Geelong soccer team and represented the Under 15s Victorian Country team.

“We originally were in New South Wales,” Leijer said. “When I was young my dad coached my older brother’s team and I begged dad to play when I was about four and I have kept up with it.”

His talent saw him move to the Victorian Institute of Sport for two years and then to the Melbourne Knights.

In 2007, English Premier League team Fulham made a bid for the then 21-year-old, and he accepted, signing a three-year contract.

Leijer returned to Australia last year to play for Melbourne Victory, and while he doesn’t get recognised walking the street yet, he is excited about the growing status of the A-League and soccer in Australia.

“After coming back from overseas, I’ve noticed the Hyundai A-League is really growing. The kids actually have an Australian team and want to be like surfcoasttimes.com.au

Archie Thompson,” he said.

“The good thing is the growing number of teams, that’s good for the game and it (soccer) can easily be a major sporting code in the country.”

Despite a hectic schedule, which includes as many as six days a week of training, Leijer still finds time to return to the Surf Coast.

“There is so much to being a professional athlete, we have to do all different kinds of training. A lot goes on behind the scenes,” he said.

“I try to get back to Jan Juc every time I have a day off. Usually once a week I come down to see my friends, have dinner with the parents and go for a surf.”

Leijer balances his sporting commitments with part-time studies; he is currently doing a double degree in commerce and sports management.

With just one round remaining before the A-League finals, Leijer’s Melbourne Victory are well entrenched in the top four, and will be looking to secure top spot with a win against Sydney on Sunday.

Apart from the chase for A-League glory, Leijer is also looking forward to spending every spare moment catching the World Cup in South Africa on television in June.

“Australia has high expectations for the World Cup, but it won’t be easy, but then again, there are many similarities to the team that was in Germany in 2006.”

College principal Pam Kinsman said families were constantly moving to Torquay and the school was growing to accommodate them. “Eight new teachers had arrived for the 2010 school year and an Indonesian teacher would also be joining the staff this term,� she said. “The start of the school year has been absolutely wonderful. “We have small class sizes, and employed extra teachers to do this, so parents and students are very happy.�

A number of new teachers joined Torquay P-9 College last week, including six graduates. Pictured getting ready for their new students were (back, from left) Madeleine Giuffre, Brad Ross, Darren Findling, Stephen Henderson, Aleese Heean, (front) Zoe Christie and Renae Carmichael.

Shire needs to get priorities in order Dear Editor, I was pleased to read the letter from Lorraine Leavold (February 2) relating to over-zealous policing of parking on Australia Day. She alleges that the shire is not using common sense. I am in complete agreement. There was another such day when a huge number of people were in our area; the weekend of January 8-10 when the Nippers Carnival was on Friday and St Luke’s Fete was on Saturday.

People had parked on the median strip under trees, leaving room for others to parallel park. It was these latter vehicles which experienced the wrath of the parking officer and incurred fines of around $120.

This is no way to endear yourself to visitors or indeed the local populace.

A further insult on that weekend was that both the toilet and changing blocks on The Esplanade were in an appalling state.

I would have thought health concerns had a higher importance than revenue raising.

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.

It would be very difficult to name all the various churches and organisations who had some type of collection towards the supply of either Christmas food or gifts for the families involved, but your help is greatly appreciated.

We would specially 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 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.

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.

Any of these will be able to help with having your name placed on a list to receive a food parcel supplied by the community of Torquay.

Once again, many thanks to the people of Torquay.

Dear Editor, I recently went to a dinner party at a friend’s place in Torquay where I was verbally attacked by another guest with regards to male team sports and the unhealthy environment that it develops when little or big boys en masse get together as a group.

This person was adamant that her six-year-old boy would never ever experience a male dominated team sport as it was a haven for developing sexism towards women.

I responded that such values regarding sexism should be taught at home and you send your son to sporting clubs to have them taught the sport.

She would not be persuaded and I felt sorry for her young son, who will never experience the positives that group sports can teach a young man.

I had a perfect example tonight; my son is eight years old and plays cricket for the U/11 Jan Juc Mako’s cricket team.

We played Aireys Inlet U/11 team – an older and more experienced team and we had a loss, however, my young son said to me as I tucked him into bed that night “Aireys Inlet are my absolute favourite

team, they encouraged me and congratulated me after I bowled and when I batted they asked my coach was I a good batter. And as I am only quite new to the sport, they were kind enough to bowl slow balls to me resulting in me making a few runs”.

My young son was on top of the world. What a brilliant and impressionable lesson the game had been for him and the rest of his young team.

I want to thank and congratulate Aireys Inlet team for displaying such great sportsmanship at such a young age, your coach and your parents should be incredibly proud.

Dear Editor, On Australia Day I was delighted to attend celebrations at Ballarat, Queenscliff and Geelong.

The Ballarat celebrations started on the evening of the 25th In the Borough of Queenscliffe residents enjoyed a public function and BBQ breakfast sponsored by the Liberal Party, an initiative of the former Member for Bellarine, Gary Spry, and his wife Robin.

The year 2010 marked the event’s 15th anniversary and a full house was in attendance at the picturesque Queenscliff Yacht Club. A most apt Australia Day address was delivered by Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, who spoke of the pride associated with being an Australian.

Finally, along the waterfront in Geelong it was a privilege to welcome over 40 new Australia citizens at the City of Greater Geelong ceremony.

Mayor John Mitchell officiated admirably at the proceedings and spoke of the challenges faced by many new Australians.

I would like to congratulate all those who made these Australia Day ceremonies possible.

Be brave and face the shave New Barwon Health CEO THE LEUKAEMIA Foundation is urging the community and individuals to register for the World’s Greatest Shave to help raise money for patients and families living with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

More than 2,500 Victorians are diagnosed each year while thousands are currently living with these blood cancers. The Leukaemia Foundation needs your help to raise more than $2.5million throughout the state to help fund free support services and research into the causes, treatments and cures of blood cancer.

The World’s Greatest Shave includes shaving your hair off of if you prefer, colouring it in different shades with coloured hairspray. “Just this month we learned that our funding has aided an important discovery that will lead to better treatments for the most common form of childhood leukaemia,� said Stephanie Hechenberger, The Leukaemia Foundation general manager, Victoria/Tasmania. “Blood cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming a life every two hours.

The Leukaemia Foundation is committed to improving this statistic and since 2005 has invested over $12million in research.�

In addition to funding research, money raised will fund free support services such as transport to and from treatment, accommodation close to hospital, education, information and emotional support.

Tristan Waight was only 20 years old when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last year.

The Leukaemia Foundation was there for Tristan throughout his journey with blood cancer and provided him with emotional and financial assistance when he needed it the most.

To help the Leukaemia Foundation support others like Tristan you can also ‘Be Brave and Shave’ and register for the World’s Greatest Shave.

You don’t need to know someone with blood cancer to register and it’s more fun with a group. It’s easy to take part with family and friends at home, work, school, or at

Family Dental Care & Waurn Ponds Dental

your local club.

All you need are some clippers, coloured hairspray and a group of people who are ready to have fun raising money for an important cause.

The Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave is on from March 11-13.

For more information and to register, phone 1800 500 088 or visit www.worldsgreatestshave.com

BARWON Health has announced the appointment of Dr David Ashbridge to the position of Chief Executive Officer.

Barwon Health Board Chair, Dr Owen Donald, said that he is delighted to announce Dr Ashbridge’s appointment. “After a rigorous recruitment process we have found in Dr Ashbridge an individual who is ideally suited to both Barwon Health and the greater Geelong community,� Dr Donald said. “Dr Ashbridge has extensive knowledge and experience in health services management and medical practice. His track record with Northern Territory Health has displayed his suitability for the diverse needs of this role.�

Dr Ashbridge has been chief executive of the Northern Territory Department of Health and Families since 2006. “With an annual budget in excess of $1billion, he has been responsible for all publicly provided and community-based acute care, primary care, public health and welfare services in the Northern Territory. “Dr Ashbridge brings new and exceptional talent to Barwon Health, the South West Region and Victoria as a whole,� Dr Donald said. “His achievements to date, particularly in the improvement of Indigenous health outcomes, display his commitment to prevention and early intervention through community-based health services.�

Dr Ashbridge said he was excited to accept the appointment and the opportunity to continue to build on

Barwon Health’s excellent reputation. “I am very much looking forward to leading an organisation that is so integral to the community and one that is recognised for its care, innovation in practice and its people,� he said.

In announcing this appointment, Dr Donald paid tribute to the previous chief executive officer, Sue De Gilio, and the acting CEO, Paul Cohen. “Sue provided exceptional leadership for eight years, positioning Barwon Health as an organisation that others benchmark against,� he said. “Since Sue’s departure, Paul has led Barwon Health with enormous energy and distinction. “We are very grateful for his commitment and contribution.�

Dr Ashbridge is expected to commence the position in April 2010.

Children encouraged to TRYathlon MORE THAN 1,000 children from around the Surf Coast and Bellarine will join Geelong youngsters in a history-making attempt later this month at the 2010 Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon event.

The event – to be held on Sunday, February 28 at Geelong’s Eastern Beach – is aiming to set a new world record for the largest number of competitors in an under 16 triathlon event, as part of the nationwide TRYathlon series.

The event is open to children aged between seven and 15, with registrations closing on Wednesday, February 24.

Action on the day will start at 8.30am with the swim leg of the 11-15 years age event, with the 7-9 years division starting their swim at 9.15am.

Triathlon continues to be one of the most popular sports in the country, with the three disciplines of swimming, cycling and running the ideal way to

introduce children into sport in a fun and friendly environment.

Now in its 12th year, the TRYathlon encompasses seven events held across the country from January to April.

Challenging the record set in 2008 when 11,831 Aussie and 17,129 Kiwi kids took part, an estimated 14,500 Australian children and 20,000 New Zealanders are expected to participate, with the new record attempt recognised by the world’s governing body, the International Triathlon Union.

For more information or to register for the event, visit www.weetbix.com.au Torquay’s Will and Alex Marshall have been busy preparing for the Tryathlon event, which will be held later this month.

Warnings on February asthma ‘epidemic’ WITH the new school year under way, the National Asthma Council Australia is warning parents, teachers and health professionals to prepare for a corresponding spike in asthma emergencies.

According to National Asthma Council Australia chairman, general practitioner Dr Noela Whitby AM, the ‘February Epidemic’ is a well documented phenomenon that will hit in a couple of weeks. “Every year we experience a big asthma spike in both school and pre-school aged children immediately after school goes back, with the peak generally occurring in mid to late February,� she said.

Australian research, conducted in Sydney from 1994 to 2000, found that the increased risk of hospitalisation for asthma in February was threefold in children aged five to 14 years and double in preschoolers, with the peak occurring three and a half weeks into the new school year.

Increased risks were also recorded at the start of each subsequent school term; however the ‘February Epidemic’ is by far the most significant. “Returning to school is strongly associated with increased asthma symptoms in children and increased hospitalisation, especially following the summer break, a trend that is common in both the

ˆ‰ ‰‰ˆ

Southern and Northern hemispheres,� Dr Whitby said.

She attributes the back to school asthma spike to increased exposure to respiratory viruses, predominately rhinovirus – the same virus that triggers the common cold – and also a relaxing of the asthma management regimen over the summer.

To minimise the impact of this year’s back to school asthma spike, the National Asthma Council Australia is urging parents to make sure that their child has an up-to-date written asthma action plan, prepared by their general practitioner, and to ensure that their school or pre-school has a copy.

Top Lions award for Gibson

Call Now: 03 5243 3355 8am to 8pm Weekdays 10am to 4pm Weekends

284 Torquay Road Grovedale

GRAHAM Gibson has been presented with the Portarlington-Drysdale Lions Club’s Alan J Holding Community Service Award from visiting District Governor, Bob Gilchrist, at a special dinner.

The award – named in honour of Holding, who was a former district governor – recognises Gibson’s work for the community Gibson has been a tireless community worker wherever he has lived, including being a volunteer firefighter for 50 years and, among other things, he was an organiser of Colac’s famous six-day bike race.

To encourage older people to keep fit, he started the Portarlington Pedal Group, which has grown rapidly, and he also became involved in the Portarlington Primary School’s bicycle education programme, where he chaperoned small groups along the road.

Gibson also tests and repairs their bikes and has built up and donated more than 20 bikes for children who can’t afford one.

Geelong’s Glastonbury Child and Family Service has also benefited from his rebuilt and donated bikes, and, after the Black Saturday, he rebuilt 50 bikes for adults and children of the Kinglake and Marysville areas.

Gibson promotes his Portarlington Pedal Group, speaking to people and encouraging them to join whenever he gets the opportunity.

“Did you dance when you were young? Well, you can ride a bike now!” is one of his favourite lines.

Portarlington Pedal Group features carefully designed routes along picturesque country roads, where Gibson stays at the back encouraging and helping the slower ones, while his wife, Moira, takes the lead up front.

Industry Info

Local market continues upward trend

Regional Victoria prices increase THE REIV December quarter property update has revealed that a combination of better-thanexpected economic conditions and population growth has resulted in increased demand for property in regional Victoria.

The median price of a house in Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Sale and Shepparton has increased in the December quarter. Solid growth over the past 12 months was also recorded.

The median house price in the City of Ballarat is $265,000, an increase of 7.3 per cent from $247,000 in the September quarter 2009. It also recorded a 15.7 per cent increase over 2009.

Solid results were also recorded in Greater Bendigo, where the median increased by 4.3 per cent to $261,000 from $250,250.

Increased demand for homes in Greater Geelong saw the median price increase by 4.4 per cent to $342,000 from $327,500.

In the Latrobe valley, Sale’s median house price increased by 8.5 per cent from $282,000 to $306,000. Shepparton recorded a very strong increase in line with metropolitan Melbourne, with a 16.5 per cent increase to $245,000.

Across the state, population growth is a positive factor and is expected to continue to underpin demand over the next 12 months.

The rental vacancy rate continues to be low in the same centres where the median price has been increasing. In the Geelong region it was 1.1 per cent in December, in Bendigo it was 0.5 per cent and in Ballarat it was 0.8 per cent.

More information on median prices and a video analysis are available from www.reiv.com.au

combined, so we met huge numbers of buyers and it meant that we were really able to take the pulse of the market,” he said.

“The feedback over the last month or so has been truly positive, both about the market in general and Anglesea in particular. Then to have 100 people and six bidders at the Cameron Road auction was just a testament to Anglesea’s growing attraction.”

Daniel Hayden, certified practicing valuer and Hayden Real Estate director, has analysed the market trends for the past three years on behalf of the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times.

He says there is no doubt that Anglesea is moving ahead in leaps and bounds.

“According to Surf Coast Shire data, in the three months to the end of January 2009 there were 13 sales in Anglesea, with a median price of $455,000.

This was an increase from a year before where the median price was $446,000.”

In the corresponding period from November 2009 to January 2010, data from the Surf Coast Shire and those statistics provided by Hayden Real Estate indicate the median price rose to $682,000.

“The telling trend is that from November 2007 to January 2008, 62 per cent of property sold during

Record result for Barry Plant IT HAS been 12 record months in a row for Barry Plant real estate.

The results underline just how hard it is to believe that only 12 months ago, the real estate industry was facing great uncertainty.

Media reports from both overseas and onshore suggested we were headed for a deep recession as the stock market plummeted and consumer confidence fell.

Twelve months later, the results are in – and the Barry Plant Group had record figures for every month throughout 2009.

During the first four months of the year, when the overall real estate market in Victoria contracted by 26 per cent, The Barry Plant Group grew by 16 per cent, placing them 42 per cent ahead of their competitors (based on independent research by RP Data).

The value of sales for the Barry Plant Group during 2009 – nearly $4.4billion – was up 35.1 per cent on 2008 and 21.8 per cent on 2007 while the number of properties sold – 10,441 in total – was up 21.8 per cent on 2008 and15.1 per cent on 2007.

“Real estate – and in particular Melbourne metropolitan real estate is looking very healthy,” commented Mike McCarthy, chief executive officer and director of the Barry Plant Group.

“Values are rising – in part due to a resurgence of consumer confidence and also fuelled by a chronic housing shortage. I expect even more records to tumble for the Barry Plant Group in 2010.”

McCarthy, however, was quick to acknowledge that the past year was full of challenges and uncertainty.

“In mid 2008, I could see the dramatic effect the sub-prime crisis was having on the American real estate market and, with my team, devised a strategy to “recession proof” our franchisees,” he said.

“Confidence is vital in these sorts of situations, as it is too easy to be overwhelmed by a persistently gloom media. We held workshops with all our franchisees identifying the coming challenges, our strengths and weaknesses and what we could do to capitalise on our strengths and shore up our weaknesses.

“This exercise helped purge the pessimism and replace it with confidence. We changed our training to meet the challenges in the market place, to make sure our sales people had the skills to get the very best outcomes for their vendors in what was – in the early part of the year – a very confusing real estate market.

“Once we got the first four record months under our belt it was a case of ‘success breeds success’.

“While 2010 will no doubt throw up some different challenges, we’ll continue to revisit our strategies and strive to improve every aspect of our franchise offering.

“By doing this I’m optimistic that the Barry Plant Group will keep growing and re-writing the record books as Victoria’s property market continues its resurgence.”

this period was below $500,000.

“From November 2008 to January 2009 the figure was down to 53 per cent while this year in the three months until January 2010 only 23% sold for less than the $500,000 threshold,” Daniel Hayden said.

He agreed that it wouldn’t be unexpected, within two or three years, to see property at below half a million dollars in Anglesea virtually disappear.

With the Geelong Ring Road and the works on the Great Ocean Road now complete, vastly improved travel times mean that Anglesea is now being considered as a realistic commuting option.

The opportunity to bring up a family in the coastal environs, along with all the advantages that entails for residents, without having to make the career sacrifices that have traditionally gone with this choice, is becoming an increasing lure.

Add this to the demand from existing local residents, retirees and those seeking holiday homes, and Anglesea is staking its claim as clearly the best and most keenly sought after lifestyle location on the Surf Coast.

ANGLESEA often flies under the radar when it comes to property results, with the higher profiles of Torquay and Lorne tending to make the headlines.

Recently, however, Anglesea has stepped out of the shadow, and the local market has witnessed some stellar results in the past few weeks.

Marius Tekin of Hayden Real Estate has experienced an exceptional series of sales during the month of January, including the hugely successful auction of 38 Cameron Road on the Australia Day long weekend.

In total he negotiated 13 sales for the month, which Hayden directors Bernie von Brandenstein and Bryan Hayden confirmed was a record for the business.

“The market is really moving solidly, with some great results over the last three or four months, January in particular,” Hayden said.

“But the market doesn’t sell itself. Marius has been working seven days a week and it is only this level of work ethic that brings the top results.”

Tekin agreed that the hard work had paid dividends.

FIRST HOUSES BUILT AFTER SALE Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938

William Pride, born in Somerset, became a saddler in Malop Street, Geelong and apart from Pride Street, he took a leading part in Improvement Association affairs), his name will always be associated with the wreck of the Joseph H Scammell, because of his action in converting the deck-house of the stricken vessel into a most original and nautical home. Mr A Wilson states that it was a difficult job getting the deck-house to the top of the cliff with the aid of horses, block and tackle. H Wm. Buckland built his house in Anderson Street the same year, after having taken houses for short periods, for some time prior to that. At first with the leagal firm of Taylor, Buckland & Gates, Mr Buckland was for years honorary secretary of the TIA, but resigned on becoming secretary of the Shire of South Barwon. His Uncle, Stephen Wine Buckalnd, born at Camden, NSW sold land which was subdivided, forming Buckalnd Avenue and Laurel Bank Parade, Newtown, while his grandfather, John B had been on a sloop in coastal exploration very early in Australia’s history.

Making your dream home affordable METRICON is celebrating 2010 by rolling back the price throughout regional Victoria across selected Designer and Freedom range homes, making them more affordable than ever before.

Metricon continues to make the dream of home ownership a reality by selecting from its extensive range of inspiring single and double storey award-winning homes jam-packed with features, but without the huge price tag.

With affordability a big focus for home buyers this year, there is no need to compromise when you choose Metricon.

Metricon’s sales and marketing manager, Simon Lofts, said that in 2010 Metricon has created a number of innovative solutions that will assist home buyers to make their home ownership dreams come true by reviewing our prices for regional Victoria.

“We recognise that particularly within the building industry, we need to be competitive – without compromising on quality, design and value, which is why Metricon have made their homes more affordable than ever before,” Lofts said.

“Our high standards extend to our professional new home consultants, who are customer focused and dedicated to helping home buyers realise their dreams.

“In fact, our point of difference – according to feedback from people who’ve built with us – is our personalised attention and being able to deliver the ultimate building experience.

“Our 2010 promotion reflects our core customer values of design, value, quality and trust. And now is the ideal time to build and be tempted with up to $30,000 worth of extras for an attractive $4,950.

“Our Allure promotion makes it easy and affordable to tailor your home to suit your individual needs. The possibilities are endless with any combination – which allows you to freely choose your own options – to an affordable maximum spend of $4,950.

“This demonstrates not only affordability but also flexibility within our packages – it’s never been more achievable, easier and more exciting to build the home of your dreams.”

You will need to be quick to take advantage of this promotion, as it is available for a limited time only and conditions apply.

“In 2010 Metricon is offering our customers more choice makes with new displays, new designs and a great selection of home and land packages to suit all budgets,” Lofts said.

“And to top this all off, all of our homes feature superior quality workmanship, independent quality checks and a rock-solid 25-year structural guarantee.

“We have stepped up the antics in 2010 by offering customers an 18-week build time guarantee.

“This reflects our confidence in our operations and also takes the pressure off those who have rental costs whilst waiting for their homes to be built.”

You Butter be there for the Box TORQUAY Hotel will play host to some of Melbourne’s hottest and most talented musicians this Saturday night when Butterbox takes to the stage.

The Butterbox boys have been mixing tunes together since early 2008 and their distinctive sound has been embraced by dance floors all over the city.

Butterbox’s fusion of hip hop, rock and electro has shaped one of Australia’s most magnetic and eclectic sounds.

Meeting through mutual friends, this compelling group has taken little time to make a name for itself on Melbourne’s competitive dance scene.

Each Butterbox member has their own style and unforgettable stage presence.

KD, a well recognised DJ, has mixed up a storm in some of Melbourne’s best known nightspots over past summers, including at The Motel, Cushion, Tramp and Q bar.

His desire for deep progressive sounds and dirty electro beats has led to the perfect combination for the group.

Mister Em Town is arguably one of Australia’s best vocalists. He is what you get when you mix ambition, diversity and talent.

His raw and engaging tenor, matched with his effervescent energy on stage brings him to the forefront of his profession.

Diamond D and his enigmatic nature pilots Butterbox’s production process at all times – put him on a stage and this rowdy Melbournian takes over.

His rambunctious nature perfectly complements his pure rhymes and natural vocal style.

Rounding out the band is Bobby Love – a tattooed, rock and roll monster that is hard, road tested, and brings two worlds together.

Love is a veteran of more than 10 years playing in rock bands. Now he has championed the challenge of meshing his six-string sounds and record-

spinning craftiness with the irresistible dance dirge that is Butterbox.

The boys have drawn their influences from such music icons as Timbaland, MSTRKRFT, Goose, Lupe Fiasco, AC/DC, and Common.

The outfit spent last winter hibernated in the studio to record the freshest summer tracks for 2010, kicking off with Addicted which took just one week to hit number one on the Triple J Unearthed dance charts.

With a high-energy and often unpredictable live show, Butterbox is a group not to be missed For more information on Butterbox’s performance on Saturday night, phone the Torquay Hotel on 5261 2001.

Think pink this Valentine’s Day OKAY, so you’ve done the roses, the chocolates, the dinner booking etc… now, what about the wine?

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner it might be a good idea to get that someone special something nice to drink.

Here are some suggestions to hopefully help you win their heart – and palate – good luck!

Stella Bella Pink Muscat 375ml ($19) Made from the Muscat grape, this delightful dessert styled wine is a delicate, light (only seven per cent alcohol), refreshing sweet wine with a flush of pink.

It balances the richness of the fresh summer fruit flavours against the brightness and vibrancy of the acidity beautifully.

De Bortoli Emeri Pink Moscato ($11) De Bortoli has developed this into an exciting little sweet spritzy sparkler that is simple yet effective. A pale pink in colour, with ripe fresh fruits dominating the light (eight per cent alcohol) palate and lovely hints of strawberries, fresh blossom, musk and spice aromas on the nose.

Louis Bouillot Cremant de Bourgogne Rosé Perle d’Aurore NV ($30)

I have featured this on a few occasions now as it’s a quality French ‘pink’ bubbly and with Valentine’s Day approaching it would make for a nice gift for that someone special. Founded in 1877 by Jean Bouillot, a wine and spirit merchant, Louis Bouillot specialised in making Crémant de Bourgogne in the Nuits-Saint-Georges region of Burgundy. This is an excellent expression of sparkling Pinot Noir, in its ‘fruity’ dry maturity. A pale rosé in colour, it delights with fine bubbles and blackcurrant and strawberry fruity notes that are in no way ‘sweet’ and overall good length and breadth of flavour. The finish shows good acid, and soft lingering flavours.

Respected writers to speak at Aireys LITERARY husband and wife team, Hannie Rayson and Michael Cathcart, will be special guests at Aireys Inlet’s Great Escape Books this Saturday.

From 6pm, multi-award winning playwright Rayson and her husband, historian and ABC broadcaster Cathcart, will be discussing life and literature while living and writing under the same roof.

Rayson is recognised as one of Australia’s most significant playwrights. Her first major success was Hotel Sorrento, which won several prizes, including the Australian Writers Guild Award.

The play has become an Australian classic and the film version won an AFI Award for best screenplay. Her more recent works include Falling from Grace, Scenes from a Separation (written with Andrew Bovell), Competitive Tenderness, Life After George, Inheritance and The Glass Soldier.

Her latest play, The Swimming Club, opened for the Melbourne Theatre Company late last month and looks set to be another great success.

Dr Michael Cathcart is a writer, broadcaster and historian, who is well-known for his acclaimed abridgment of Manning Clark’s six-volume classic, A History of Australia and for his work on ABC radio and television.

His latest book is The Water Dreamers: The Remarkable History of Our Dry Continent. It tells the story of how settler Australians attempted to transform this dry continent and how it, in turn, changed them.

Together these two talented literary minds will discuss how they successfully live and work together, in an intimate, free discussion.

Rayson was last heard in Aireys Inlet at the 2008 Festival of Words in a very popular session with Andrew Knight and Dr Rob Moody about playwriting. This visit promises to be every bit as enlightening and entertaining.

Great Escape Books is situated at 75 Great Ocean Road, Aireys Inlet, and bookings are essential as spaces are limited. For further information and to book, email nicole@greatescapebooks.com.au or phone 5289 7052.

Take to the stage at Aireys Tuesday 9 February 2010

THE AIREYS Inlet Open Mic Festival is calling on all budding musicians to get their entries in for this year’s event.

With just over a month to go until the threeday festival, organisers are again expecting another influx of performers.

Last year, more than 80 musicians – ranging in age from their teens to 70s – graced the stages throughout the town to perform live.

This year’s festival will be held from March 12-14 – and is a celebration of the wide-ranging talents along the Surf Coast and surrounding regions.

Now in its third year, the festival is looking to hear from musicians of all ages and abilities who play any and every style of music – from pop, to rock, to blues, folk, jazz or country – or perhaps even a style that can’t be categorised.

There is no need to worry about the level of experience as a performer as the festival encourages all abilities to showcase their talents, as seasoned performers will hit the stage alongside absolute first timers, as this is one festival with a spot for everyone.

The festival is all about bringing people together through the power of music.

Whether you’re a budding solo artist, a regular gigging group or you’ve always wanted to take your singing out of the shower and to the next level, the Aireys Inlet Open Mic Music Festival offers the chance for everyone to perform.

The festival was started by music lovers in the Aireys Inlet Tourism and Traders Association in 2008.

It was initiated as a positive festival with a creative vibe where music lovers can gather on the coast and appreciate talented local musicians and their music. From its humble beginnings the event has quickly grown into a full-blown weekend festival of music, with performances this year set to take place on seven separate stages at indoor and outdoor venues across Aireys Inlet.

The first festival featured 52 local acts, with 86 performing last year, and this year’s list is expected to top the 100-mark.

Performers keen to get involved need to register their interest and provide links to examples of their music to assist the organisers in scheduling their act at the appropriate time and venue.

A festival full of stars

Tuesday 9 February 2010

THE LINE-UP for the Apollo Bay Music Festival has been finalised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with some of the biggest and best Australian and international talent set to converge on the town next month.

The iconic festival will this year celebrate its 18th birthday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is set to celebrate in style.

To be held from March 26-28, the festival will not only include some of the best national and overseas artists, but will also pay homage to the festival that started all festivals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Woodstock.

This year, the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very own Baystock will pay tribute to the 1969 festival held in New York which changed the face of festivals forever.

Baystock will see a number of acts take to the stage to perform songs from the Woodstock era, including festival patron, Jon Von Goeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, Aloi Head & The Victor Motors, who will put their own stamp on The Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summertime Blues, James Blundell will perform The Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Weight and Nielson Gough Quartet will do Blackbird like no other.

Crossing the world and crossing genres, the 2010 programme is a wonderfully

diverse mix of the music and artists complemented by curated special events and workshops that give an extra dimension to this award-winning major regional event.

On top of this, the opening Street Parade is bringing back the float; Bagpipes will fill the Otways, street performers will abound, and a special unplugged earth hour concert will take place at the Star of the Sea Catholic Church.

Headlining the list of acts is Kasey Chambers, James Blundell, Eddi Reader and The Flatlanders to name but a few.

A further taste of acts appearing includes: Chris Smither, Snarski vs Snarski, Bob Brozman, The Whitetop Mountaineers, Wilson Pickers, Washington, Josh White Jnr, Djan Djan, Kerri Simpson, Ghost Mutt, The Go Set and Paul Greene, as well as the Apollo Bay Community Choir.

Add to this Louisiana legends, Lil Band Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gold, The Wolfgramm Sisters, Even, Big Low, Lightly Toasted and Sally Dastey reforming the Sweet Sceptics for a one off show and you have a festival to remember.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Performer winner, Katie Maxwell and King Marong and Afro

Mandinko are also back by demand to deliver a finale with a bang.

Special events include one of the most loved, feared and brilliant comedians to stand behind a microphone in Anthony Morgan.

He has been lured back to the stage for one performance only; other highlights include Suitcase Royale presenting the theatre production of The Ballad of Back Bone Joe; Tenzin Choegyal and the Tashi Lumpo Monks will bring some calm and The Windy Hills will perform a live soundtrack to the film The Last Hope.

For the younger festival goers, the Kids Under Canvas features Gee Whizz Kids, Canya Dantz, Kathy Prosserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Possum Magic, Didi Peters, Josh White Jnr and workshops in circus, drumming and much more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ensuring the festival is great family entertainment.

For more information and to book tickets, visit www.apollobaymusicfestival.com Multi-award winning artist Kasey Chambers is one of the star attractions at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival.

Join the green revolution

Get into the groove

BY SARAH LAWRENCE AN ABUNDANCE of local produce, delicious food and a green atmosphere are all on offer at Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest eatery, The Green Room.

Jason and Megan Crawford recently opened the Bell Street venue after moving from Brunswick in Melbourne where they worked in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booming cafĂŠ scene.

The venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy focuses on using local food and beverages and includes an exclusively local wine visit.

The menu has many tasty and affordable choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was to give top quality produce at pub prices,â&#x20AC;? explained Jason.

One of their most popular lunch

Jason Crawford incorporated the colour green into the cafĂŠ because of its association with sustainability, as well as the image of a surfer going through the greenness of a barrel.

choices has been the Harissa cheeseburger with tomato, cheddar, caramelised red onion, beetroot, mixed lettuce with mayo and sumac potato skins for $12.

They also have an extensive stylish cocktail menu, as well as a snack menu with all options priced between $6 and $8, including Portarlington mussels and salt and pepper calamari. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it so people can walk of the beach or finish the day to come and have cocktails and a few snacks,â&#x20AC;?

Jason said.

A key feature is the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu, which includes a number of healthy options, all priced at $10.

The choices include pan-fried fish with house cut chips and cos lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad dressed with olive oil and homemade gnocci with Napoli sauce, basil leaves and cheese.

as well as some old favourites that range from township jive to haunting traditionally inspired melodies, with all songs composed by South African-born Valanga, which tell stories of the past and present, a journey reminding us of our shared humanity.

Valanga was born in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, where he grew up in a traditional setting surrounded by lively singing, drumming and dancing.

The Limpopo area is rich in traditional healers, orators and storytellers, highly respected throughout Africa; and these people were his neighbours.

Their nightly ceremonies carried songs and rhythms passed down through thousands of years, and Valanga carries these influences through his songs and storytelling.

ADRIAN WAITE FROM AUSTECH ANTENNAS

WITH more than 20 years experience in the antenna industry, Adrian Waite is a tradesman you can trust for excellent service and use of the highest quality equipment.

“I use the best quality antennas, which are heavy duty and made in Australia,” he said.

“I use the latest European test equipment as well for accurate signal measurement checks.”

Waite specialises in digital installations, digital reception problems, extra telephone points, home theatre set up and tuning as well as satellite systems for black spot reception areas.

With the government’s decision to switch from analog transmission to digital-only transmission by the end of 2013, many people need to install set top boxes.

Waite is a government approved digital installer and takes time with customers to ensure everything is explained clearly with written instructions.

He is also well respected for his ability to turn up on time, friendliness and honesty with customers.

For more information, phone Waite on 0408 803 634 or 5264 7660.

BARNABY LESTER FROM URBAN LANDSCAPES ENSURING the highest quality work, there are no corners cut with Urban Coast Landscapes.

Barnaby Lester has been running the business on the coast for the past nine months and has seen it quickly become one of the region’s busiest and most well respected landscaping businesses.

According to Lester he is able to do “just about anything that can be done in a front or backyard”.

The services offered include all types of paving, decking, brickwork, plantings and pruning.

“What sets me apart from the others is where and who I learned my trade from – that being a master landscaper of 30 years experience and working in the best suburbs of Melbourne, including Middle Park, Toorak, South Yarra, St Kilda and Port Melbourne,” said Lester.

He is anticipating work in the coming months at some of Torquay’s most prestigious properties as well as lots of business from the growing area.

For more information, phone Lester on 0411 233 671.

ALAN BAYNE FROM OCEAN ROAD PROPERTY MAINTENANCE A FANTASTIC name that you can trust to get all those property maintenance tasks fixed is Ocean Road Property Maintenance.

For the past 25 years, Alan Bayne has learned every type of maintenance, from security doors, flyscreens, interior blinds, locks and garden maintenance to renovated decks and painting.

“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ you might call us,” Bayne said.

“Instead of calling the blind company, a lock company, security door company or carpenter, we do it all. We also travel to buy the correct part for the job, not just use what’s in the car.”

The business has an excellent reputation for high quality service with many local real estate agents as clients.

For more information, phone Bayne on 0412 367 093

ROBYN THE DRESSMAKER

FEB 9-FEB 15 2010 Show me the money! With the New Moon lighting up your cash zone, it’s time to take stock of your financial situation and initiate some smart new strategies. Abundance is all around – you just have to tap into it. And don’t forget to do an inventory of your inner wealth too, which includes your self-esteem and core values..

Rams pride themselves on their independence and ability to go it alone.

However, this week’s New Moon urges you to find fresh ways to connect with those around you, whether at home, at work or at play. The power of the group is on your side as you spark ideas off each other and pool talents to create something special.

Crabs are sentimental creatures and can spend too much time in the past. Don’t brood over love gone wrong. This week’s stars will help heal your hurt feelings so you can finally move on. The New Moon signals a fresh start in the areas of sex or money. Perhaps a passionate new relationship or the overhaul of joint finances?

The New Moon lights up your entertainment sector, so the weekend should be full of fun and frivolity with family and friends. Prepare to shake out your dusty dancing shoes and party like a pro! For quieter Librans, the stars favour creative pursuits and spending quality time with the special children in your life.

How’s work going? Are you overdue for a pay rise or promotion? Is it time to look for a better job or change vocation? Maybe you need to work smarter, not harder? If you resist making changes, you’ll be left behind. Look for exciting ways to inject fresh energy into your career.

Networking with friends and colleagues brings benefits.

Mae West, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez … why are so many major entertainers (past and present) also Leos? Because they relish being the centre of attention. With the New Moon in your relationship zone, the challenge is to share the spotlight with someone else, whether it’s a loved one, friend or business partner.

With Mercury visiting your domestic zone (until March 1) now is the time to speak up about family ‘issues’. You’re able to express yourself eloquently and loved ones are keen to hear what you have to say. Make your home a heavenly haven and cocoon of calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy world outside.

Aquarians are twice as much fun – and twice as much trouble, as the New Moon and Mercury zoom through your sign. You’re feeling friendly, funny and fabulous; but also restless, reckless and rebellious as you re-model an important area of your life. You’re in the mood to shake loved ones out of their comfort zones so look out world!

Restless Gemini – you’re incredibly busy but are you actually achieving anything? If you tackle tasks in short, sharp bursts it will keep you interested and you’ll gradually get things done. You’re at your curious best on the weekend, as the New Moon stimulates your brain power.

So it’s the ideal time to study, read, research and investigate.

With the New Moon activating your health zone, it’s time to start a new diet and exercise programme. Swap cream buns for carrot juice, and long TV sessions for power walks and trips to the gym. Virgos thrive on routine and a healthy lifestyle, so stop the excuses and start now.

Venus moves into your love zone so you’re ready for romance.

With four planets in your communication zone, your chatter is more verbose than usual. But are all those words really necessary?

Contemplate the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln (born on February 12) “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” Sunday’s New Moon highlights your restless side.

Pisceans are the masters of avoidance – never more so than now, with four planets in your ‘escaping’ zone. If you have a problem that needs to be faced, or a decision that needs to be made, stop procrastinating. In the words of birthday great Abraham Lincoln “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today”.

Hughes takes the title AIREYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Inletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Hughes was the star performer at the Victorian Masters Surfing Titles held at Jan Juc over the weekend.

With a small easterly swell on offer and light onshore winds, both the male and female divisions received consistent conditions throughout the day.

The over 28 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division was a hotly contest division with high scores and big maneuvers, with Hughes (Aireys Inlet) taking out the division in a classy display of power surfing. Taking out every heat with multiple excellent scoring rides, Hughes was the standout surfer throughout the event.

In the final, Hughes amassed a total of 14.34 (out of a possible 20) to take out Tim Birnie (Jan Juc) with 11.07, Eli Curry (Phillip Island) with 8.60, and Derek Bassed (Sandy Point) with 7.30.

Other winners on the day were Rowan Sapwell (Jan Juc, O/45 Men), Shayleigh Chapman (Torquay, O/28 Women), Michelle Fincher (Phillip Island, O/35 Women), Grayme Galbraith (Jan Juc, O/50 Men), Dave Matthews (Jan Juc, O/40 Men), Cam Lamperd (Ocean Grove, O/35 Men).

The tour will visit Jan Juc on Friday and 13th Beach on Saturday, with World Qualifying Series surfer and Rip Curl Pro runner up Adam Robertson and fellow WQS surfer Jack Perry (Jan Juc) on hand to surf with the boys and pass on some valuable knowledge.

Participants will be learning and hanging out with Robertson and Perry and with both surfers looking to continue their WQS campaigns in 2010, there will be some world-class surfing on show for the boys to experience.

This is a rare opportunity to receive coaching from two of Victoria’s best surfers and is not to be missed.

Robertson is stoked to be a part of the programme for the up and coming surfers in the region.

“A programme like this would have been great when I first began competing,” he said.

“The kids are getting a chance to improve their ability without having to travel.”

The days are for intermediate to experienced surfers and are a chance for them to further their surfing skills.

The sessions are free to all boys and will include a talk on surf safety, how to perform a beach rescue and a free surfing session with Robertson and Perry.

Entries are limited for the day so anyone interested is encouraged to enter online at www.surfingvic.com as soon as possible.

For more information, phone Surfing Victoria on 5261 2907 or e-mail info@surfingvic.com

Rip Curl Pro runner-up Adam Robertson will be on hand to provide tips at Jan Juc and 13th beach this week.

Stand up paddling on the go ONE OF the fastest growing sports in Australia, stand up paddleboarding, is now being introduced into surf schools throughout the country.

With the stand up paddleboard (SUP) recognised as a fairly serious surf craft in any surf break, surf schools are actively engaged in creating learning systems to fast track learners.

At the same time, the schools are keen to ensure, as they progress into the surf, they have the skills and knowledge required to keep both themselves and surrounding surfers safe.

Expect to see more and more SUP riders in the water, and hopefully they will be well trained by the time they hit the surf.

Riders set to tackle the marathon THREE world champions will join thousands of other mountain bikers for Victoria’s biggest mountain bike race later this month.

The Otway Odyssey Marathon – to be held between Apollo Bay and Forrest – will draw some of the best mountain bikers in the country to tackle the 100-kilometre event on Saturday, February 20.

For those looking for something a little shorter in distance, there will also be a 50km event – known as the Otway Shorty – which starts and finishes in Forrest, while the Otway Pioneer is an event for children covering 15km.

The event is the second biggest mountain bike race in the country behind the Kona 24hour, and is in its fourth year.

Several Australian champions will also tackle the course, while there will be a bike expo held at Forrest Football Ground, where spectators and competitors can shop for all the best bike products while tasting local produce.

Torquay’s Rapid Ascent manages the event and is looking forward to another successful race.

Torquay’s Alex Robertson learns by experience how to handle wipeouts on the stand up paddleboard.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB

BY MARGOT SMITH

WITH January over it’s now time to start the serious competition.

Our golf operations team has shown their true romantic side and has scheduled the qualifying rounds of the mixed matchplay for Valentine’s Day – so perhaps we’ll have lots of kisses and red roses out on the course.

Entries are also out for the Pro-am on Friday, March 5. We have a single shotgun start at 11am and the $66 entry fee includes a light supper after. It is a great way to support the sport of golf and see the skills of these professionals – you might even be able to play with a future champion!

The ladies start their district events this week with many playing in the 4-Ball event at the Sands on Monday.

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB THE JANUARY 2010 newsletter is now available and there has been a lot happening so be sure to get your copy at the clubhouse or on the website.

The Surf Coast Shire Council February meeting is an important one, with a decision on the long-awaited water issue to determine whether the course works start in the autumn.

The 2010 syllabus is also available to members. The first board event for the year is the Clive Martella Cup. Peter Orwin was wearing a big smile on Wednesday after acing the 13th. His first ever hole in one, congratulations Peter.

BY CHRIS BARR

John Butler were runners up with 9 up on a countback from Graeme Rees and Bob McKellar.

NTPs were Peter Jones, Ray Heathcote, Russell Murfitt and Peter Jackson.

The ladies nearly had a dry day on Thursday. The rain held off until most were starting their last hole. It didn’t really make much difference as it was so heavy it may as well have started when they teed off on the first.

Best score of the day was Sue Webb with 39 points winning Div 3. Valda Connelly won Div 1 with 38 points and Jenny Inman won Div 2 with 35 points.

NTPs were Sue Bowler, Tess Brown, Ros Holland, and Gloria Hodgkison.

We wish them luck and hope they avoid the bunkers.

Midweek results Wednesday’s event was stableford. In div 1 the ever-consistent John Richards with 37 points beat Trevor Doolan

Weekend results Players had to contend with the wind on Saturday, but it didn’t seem to reduce the winning scores. Lorna Henderson has

the best score for the ladies with 4 up winning Div 2. Gloria Hodgkison won Div 1 with 2 up and Julianne RandlesSimpson won Div 3 with 1 up.

For the men, Chris Duffield was one over par off the stick winning A Grade with 8 up, Craig Daffy won B Grade with 4 up on a countback from Tony Tobler and John Fox won C Grade with 3 up.

NTPs were Col Russell, Calvin Robbins, Ann Stokes and Stefi Bates.

Sunday was a little warmer and less breezy. Carmel Francis had the best ladies score with 40 points winning Div 3. Claire Brennan won Div 1 with 37 points and Jane Harding won Div 2 with 39 points. Past captain Peter Jones, returning from injury, won A Grade with 42 points, Neville Henderson won B Grade with 39 points and Rob Dickens won C Grade with 38 points.

From the ladies room More than 100 ladies enjoyed the perfect summer conditions for the season opener.

The club president and captain dropped in and it was also a chance to meet our new golf operations manager, Nathan, and see the new pro shop.

Nathan has started taking lessons, has lots of new golf gear and equipment.

The Pro Shop jackpot is back and this week Gladys Sheldon was very happy to collect the first trophy for her shot on the 13th.

This week divisional winners were Lee Worsterling in Div 4 from Rosie Jones, Gladys Sheldon won over Karen Grayling in Div 3, In Div 2 Gillian Strickland was winner over Jenny McGaw and in Div 1, Wendy Johnson’s +2 was not good enough to beat Gill Patten, who had +4. NTPs to Helen Paull, Lois Matthews and Sylvia Peck.

Mixed opening day The mixed opening day event was again well supported and with conditions perfect and the BBQ on the deck, it was a perfect way to start the new season.

Playing with both club presidents I was on my best behaviour and applied myself to the task with gusto but fell a long way short. Dee Matheson and Graeme Sharp came in third Milton and Helen Sceney were runners up but a very happy Matt Harper welcomed his wife Sally back to the course and they took the trophy with +11.

NTPs for the men went to Rod Chappell, Des Matteson, Peter Orwin and Geoff Lamont and for the ladies Rosemary Reyntjes, Julie Rogers, Judy Sceney and Inge Oliver.

Julie Rogers took the first Ladies Quarterly Medal on Saturday with a narrow win over Jill Chick. Julie and Jill shared the NTPs with Jenny Cottrill.

Hole in one Ann Stokes used her seven iron to great effect on the 13th on Saturday. Apparently the ball bounced twice before the green, and rolled nicely into the hole. Her playing partners were suitably excited – as was Ann – so much so that she wiped the next three holes. It didn’t matter, she got seven balls, a bottle of scotch and a great night out for her efforts.

Opening days The men had their opening day on Wednesday starting with a sausage sizzle, and then a shotgun start for the 4BBB par event. They drew for partners and Daryl Britnell and Bruce Barnett were pretty happy with the outcome – winning with 10 up. Ian Weaver and

on 36. In div 2 Gerry Phillips with 38 beat Chris Houlihan on countback. Bill White with 43 took out div 3 from Zoran Krstevski 41. The score of the day was in div 4 with Michael Farnham on 44 winning from Ian Colwell 41.

NTPs went to John Richards, Alan Roy and Peter Orwin and the jackpot to John Richards.

Weekend results Saturday’s monthly medal produced some excellent scores. The CCR was 71.

In div 1 Greg Giampiccolo 67 won with Don Matheson r/up on 70. Div 2 winner was Mick Lenaghan 66 from Andrew Ranner 68. Div 3 and monthly medal winner was Peter Mahony 64, with Wayne Rau r/up with 68. Peter Oliver 67 won div 3 from John Harding 69.

NTPs went to Greg Smith, Richard McKinnis and Angelo Facchini and the jackpot winner was Danny Willersdorf.

Club for activities occurring during the tournament”.

“In this regard and consistent with your stance on sustainable fishing, we would ask you to strongly encourage participants to give preference to catch and release fishing and avoid the killing of mako sharks wherever possible”.

It is suggested that other clubs/organisations and fishermen in similar situations write to the department urgently seeking advice along similar lines.

There is no water-clad guarantee that a fishing club or fisherman cannot be charged with offences under the EPBC Act at this stage.

Many in the fishing world are still unsure as to what is and what isn’t allowed under the current law until such time as the amendments go through.

I, for one, am not prepared to tell people it is okay to fish for mako shark though I have had dozens of people ask me if they can, especially as the projected fine is around $11,000.

As it stands it is up to each individual to make their own judgment call.

IT SEEMS the dust has still not settled on the great mako shark debate.

Last week in Tasmania the St Helens Game Fishing Club sort urgent clarification from environment minister, Peter Garrett, on whether (and how) game fishing clubs can still hold their upcoming tournaments.

The club and the mayor of the local council were worried about the fate of their key community event in light of the listing of mako sharks under the EPBC Act on January 29, and whether they could proceed with the event or not.

They received a response from the department which specifically addressed the St Helens Game Fishing Club’s upcoming tournament.

Key advice in this letter included: “In particular we note that the manner in which the tournaments will be run is intended to promote sustainable fishing practices” and “the department is prepared to indicate now in applying its Compliance and Enforcement Policy it would not take any enforcement action under the current law against either an individual or the St Helens Game Fishing
