Motorists warned to obey road rules over the Australia Day break or risk paying the penalty

BY NATHAN HALE SURF Coast Traffic Management Unit boss, Jason Van Doren, has sent a warning to all motorists this Australia Day weekend – break the law and you will pay the penalty.

Fed up with some motorists continuing to break the law and put other road users at risk, Van Doren has instructed his unit to crack down on all illegal behaviour behind the wheel.

“People can use this as a warning – we will be out in force – not only on Australia Day, but also in the days leading up to it as a lot of people will have a four-day weekend,” Van Doren said.

“That means anyone who is going to flout any road rules – from using mobile phones, to speeding, to not wearing seatbelts and even unroadworthy vehicles – is going be targeted.”

Van Doren’s stern message comes just days after a head-on collision in Bellbrae last Friday that left a man with serious injuries.

It is believed a silver Honda sedan travelling north on Anglesea Road and a green Magna sedan travelling in the opposite direction collided around 4.15pm, leaving three people hospitalised.

This crash, along with a disappointing New Year period – which saw 12 drink drivers booked in two

Surf Forecast

days – is behind Van Doren’s blitz.

“What was most astonishing was the age of the drivers caught exceeding the alcohol limit,” Van Doren said.

“Almost all were probationary drivers. We even had a learner detected with a reading of .131 per cent.

“It is very disappointing that the generation that grew up with TAC ads forced down their throats has dropped the ball and thinks that by being in holiday mode they can put other road users at risk.

“One ‘P’ plate driver on New Year’s day was caught twice within two hours in the Torquay area, returning results of .049 per cent and then .020 per cent.

In all, the Surf Coast traffic management unit handed out 92 penalty or defect notices, or other charges, during the two-day New Year period, despite repeated warnings police would be out in force.

Van Doren said that during the period from December 18 to January 3, Surf Coast units had conducted 5,392 preliminary breath tests, and from those test 18 drink drivers were caught.

“As we prepare for another busy period, it is vital people take notice of these warnings,” Van Doren said.

“People need to take plenty of breaks, don’t take risks and leave yourself plenty of time to get to and from your destination… it’s better to be late that not arrive at all.”

Jason Van Doren is set to lead a police blitz this weekend.

Jump On Board the Moriac Bus

Editor Nathan Hale

editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au

In December, a trial bus service linking Moriac with Torquay, Bellbrae and Waurn Ponds began with funding through the Victorian Government’s Transport Connections Programme.

This trial is significant as it provides the Moriac community with its only public transport service.

In the trial’s first two weeks, an average of 14 people used the bus each day. To ensure an ongoing service is provided, this trial needs to be successful, so I encourage you to step aboard.

Take care of our beaches, be safe on our roads As the peak holiday season continues on the Surf Coast, the need to be considerate with our cars and on beaches remains strong.

No Standing and No Parking signs, including yellow edge lines on roads, are used throughout the Surf Coast to ensure safety on many roads that become busy during peak periods. The areas are marked because cars in these places can cause visibility problems, can create unsafe obstacles and in doing so, cause accidents.

These signs and markings are part of the Victorian road rules and are enforced, so when you’re looking for a park, please be on the look-out.

On beaches, Council’s No Butts, No Cuts regulations have been put in place to prevent cigarette butts and broken glass being left on our beaches. Both pose significant environmental and community health and safety risks. Please consider our environment and fellow beach goers in not bringing these items on to the sand.

On the positive side, officers have reported a great response from dog owners to regulations on beaches since mid-December. I commend local dog owners and visitors who have brought their dogs on holidays on this.

If you are unsure of dog regulations in Surf Coast Shire, comprehensive maps and information are provided at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au or in brochures at council’s Grossmans Road Service Centre.

Check your fences While dog restrictions are generally being followed on beaches, residents have contacted me recently expressing concern about dogs-at-large harming native wildlife.

At all times of the year, it is particularly important that residents ensure their pets and working dogs are safely enclosed – for their safety, for the safety of others and for our environment. Please check your fences regularly and ensure your canine companion is secure, particularly at night.

Join us this Australia Day Next Tuesday, traditional Australia Day events will again be run in Torquay and Anglesea by local Lions Clubs, providing a great opportunity for people throughout the Surf Coast to come together and reflect on the tolerance, welcoming spirit and way of life that characterises the Surf Coast and the democratic ethos on which Australia has been built.

Australia Day will also be my first opportunity to confer Australian Citizenship upon our new citizens, which I’m particularly looking forward to, as well as giving due recognition to the Surf Coast’s Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year.

The Australia Day Breakfast will be held in Anglesea on the riverfront from 8am-10am. Bring your own utensils. For adults, breakfast is $5 and for children $3.

In Torquay, an Australia Day brunch will be held without charge in Taylor Park near The Esplanade from 10am.

I would also like to congratulate the Anglesea and Torquay Lions Clubs on their ongoing role in organising these events. We are much richer for the

work of these important community service groups.

I look forward to meeting you on Australia Day.

Considering Jan Juc footpaths Earlier this month, submissions closed for a proposed Special Charge Scheme to help fund a proposed pathway network in Jan Juc. Council is pleased to have received many submissions to the proposal which will aid us in making a decision.

Letters are now being sent to all who lodged submissions inviting them to speak before council at a Council Hearing to support their submission.

Anyone wanting to speak needs to contact Vanessa Wiggins on 5261 0517 before Friday, January 29 in order to ensure dates for hearings can be set.

These hearings will allow people to augment their submissions and personally address council.

They are not an opportunity for debate, but issues raised will certainly be considered.

It’s important to note that council has not made a decision on this project. However, we are keen to listen to those who wish to lodge verbal submissions before the matter is discussed at a future public monthly council meeting.

Council meeting times Council meetings will be held in 2010 from 6pm on the fourth Wednesday of every month, instead of 7pm as per last year.

Coming along is a great way to see your councillors at work and to keep in touch with the many issues council addresses. I encourage you to attend.

Kind Regards

No outdoor cinema for Torquay

BY NATHAN HALE THERE will be no outdoor cinema for Torquay this month after the event organiser, Stardomz Outdoor Digital Cinemas, failed to supply council with the sufficient permits on time.

The proposed outdoor event was billed as a ‘family night out’ for local residents and holidaymakers alike, and had been tentatively pencilled in for the Spring Creek Reserve football oval for this weekend.

Surf Coast Shire, however, was left with no

option late last week other than to cancel the proposed event.

Council has been working closely with Gary Patterson from Stardomz over the last four months in a bid to ensure a permit could be granted for the trial screenings.

With the proposed date for the event getting closer and closer and council not receiving the permit applications they requested, the cancellation was made official.

The information required included engineering and structural information, which is required for

a building surveyor to ensure the safety of structures that were to be erected.

Council said these details were requested in December.

Shire chief executive officer, Mark Davies, said council is keen to support events that are well-run and safe, but essential documentation is always an integral part of the planning of any event. “As with any proposal to run an event in Surf Coast Shire, council staff have invested considerable effort in working with the proponent,� he said.

“Staff have worked over the last four months to try and help facilitate this event, however, the information required in order for relevant permits to be granted was not supplied after repeated requests. “The proponent was also asked to provide information on the proposal to surrounding residents, which has not yet happened. “As a result, council has been left with no choice but to abandon the proposed trial. The applicant is welcome to submit a complete application in future with all of the necessary information for assessment.�

Celebration of a nation

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

NATIONAL pride will be on show in full force along the Surf Coast next Tuesday to celebrate Australia Day. The following events will be happening along the Surf Coast to commemorate the day.

Torquay The Lions Club of Torquay will host Australia Day celebrations at Taylor Park in Torquay, with a concert beginning at 10am.

According to president, Trevor Secombe, Australia Day is a key event on the local Lions Club calendar. “The Taylor Park Australia Day celebrations are a perfect occasion for us to greet new citizens and provide Australian entertainment for locals and visitors on a most important day,� Secombe said.

“There are hundreds of visitors still in Torquay and they are welcome to join us at the morning’s concert and naturalisation ceremony.�

This year local residents will be inducted as Australian citizens by Surf Coast mayor, Libby Coker, who will also introduce the Australia Day Ambassador, Alistair McCooke.

At the celebrations, the concert of Australian songs and poems by local entertainers will be followed by a free sausage sizzle. “The concert begins at 10am and it is always wonderful to have a large crowd of people to welcome and encourage our new citizens,� he said.

As the concert is in the parkland, Secombe suggested that those attending bring a chair, a hat and sun cream.

“We will be providing the sausages and soft drinks,� said Secombe. “But we cannot provide chairs for everyone.�

The sausage sizzle is supported by IGA Torquay.

Anglesea The Anglesea Lions Club will be holding its annual Australia Day breakfast starting at 7.30am on the Anglesea Riverbank.

The breakfast will include toast, bacon and eggs as well as coffee, tea and juice.

It is also good value at just $5 for adults and $3 for children, with the proceeds going to Lions Club initiatives.

The shire will also be presenting community awards to standout citizens.

The event is one of the most popular on the Anglesea calendar with locals and holidaymakers alike joining in on the riverbank.

The Lions Club of Torquay, along with other special guests, will provide the Australia Day entertainment at Taylor Park.

SURF Coast Shire is now providing free graffiti removal kits to help residents, businesses and community groups quickly and easily remove graffiti on their premises.

The kits, funded through the Victorian Government’s Graffiti Clean-up programme, are effective on a range of surfaces.

One kit works on painted walls, doors,

really unsightly,” Coker said.

“There is simply no place for this sort of vandalism on the Surf Coast.

“An important part of council’s Graffiti Action Plan is to work with community groups, schools, businesses and residents to help prevent graffiti where we can and remove it when and where we need to.”

The kits include chemicals that can be easily disposed of safely and come with

detailed instructions.

“If you’re a resident, trader or part of an organisation that is affected by graffiti, I encourage you to contact council to see how these kits might be of use,” Coker said.

Food festival for Torquay?

BY SARAH LAWRENCE THE SURF Coast’s reputation for offering a great lifestyle and wonderful eateries could soon be enhanced with the introduction of a food festival.

The Torquay Froth and Bubble committee are considering the idea of a food festival before their renowned literature festival in June.

Froth and Bubble organiser, John Adams, said the idea has been with him since the inception of the Froth and Bubble Festival.

“The idea comes from the name froth and bubble,” Adams said.

“The original idea was to have the cafes involved with their food, as well as the literary side.

“We had a dinner through the literature festival and it was a great time. It would be excellent if we could get all the cafes involved.”

Adams said with more than 50 eateries in Torquay and Jan Juc, the opportunity to host a food festival and showcase the region would provide another boost for the local economy.

Local eateries are already showing their interest in the festival, which would allow locals and visitors alike to further experience the wide range of food available on the Surf Coast.

Take the challenge on us!

WE HAVE teamed up with the annual Havaianas Thong Challenge in an attempt to put Torquay in the record books.

On Australia Day, the fifth thong challenge will take place, pitting Torquay against North Bondi Beach to get the most participants on the water on giant inflatable thongs.

Last year North Bondi took the record with 908.

We have two free entries to give away – worth $49.95 each – to take part in the day,

“We have already had a bit of involvement with the festival and we would love to be involved with the idea,” said Tom McGrath from Bomboras.

“We believe we’ve got fantastic value for money food and would love to show it to a greater number of people through the festival.”

“It would be a good opportunity for more people to come and experience all the homemade food we have here,” added Italo Ross from the Pear Tree in Torquay.

If you are interested in getting involved or have suggestions for the potential food festival, phone John Adams on 5261 2899 or email rangerjohn@ netspace.net.au

TEENAGER Wil Hamlyn’s first week of life saving patrol duties was one he won’t forget in a hurry.

The 16-year-old played a major role in the rescue of five walkers who were trapped by the rising tide at Anglesea on Sunday.

Hamlyn and Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club patrol captain, Jeremy Farrington, crewed an inflatable rescue boat (IRB) to reach the walkers who were caught by the incoming tide against cliffs east of the Anglesea River.

The five walkers, from Melbourne, aged between 18 and 57, were all rescued safely.

Hamlyn, 16, has only just gained his bronze medallion to qualify for life saving patrol.

The Anglesea club worked with the CFA and SES, who also responded to the callout.

Farrington said the rescue again underlined the need for locals and visitors alike to check conditions before they ventured out. He also applauded Hamlyn and fellow teenager, Max Plitsch, for their efforts in the rescue.

“These guys are only young and new lifesavers and demonstrated maturity and cool headedness beyond their years,” Farrington said.

“But with the windy conditions and large and rough surf, it is pretty disappointing to have to put lives at risk having to retrieve walkers who have become trapped when it is such a simple thing to check tide charts before they set off on beach walks.”

GORCC calls for new members PEOPLE with a passion for the coast and its future are being urged to nominate as voluntary committee members with the new Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC), according to two current members.

John Carlile and Linton Drever are encouraging others to apply to serve on the new committee when it is appointed later this year.

With nominations closing next month, the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) is currently seeking expressions of interest for voluntary membership of GORCC. Carlile nominated for a voluntary committee position because he was keen to put something back

into the coast.

“I’ve been coming down to the Great Ocean Road coast for more than 40 years,” he said.

“In that time, I’ve watched our coast being put under increasing pressure and seen first-hand the impacts of such pressure on the coastal environment.

“I decided to nominate because I felt very strongly that someone had to get involved in caring for the coast and, with my background in science, horticulture, business management and corporate governance, felt I had something to contribute.

“Over the past two and a-half years I’ve gained

immense satisfaction from my involvement in the committee and the ability to make a real contribution to the coast’s future.”

The desire to play a more significant role in protecting and sustainably developing the Great Ocean Road coast was a strong driver in Drever’s nomination to join GORCC. “When the opportunity arose to nominate for a committee position, I saw it as providing another means to continue my lifelong involvement with the coast’s natural environment,” he said.

“Living in Torquay and working in the region as a lawyer has allowed me to interact with numerous individuals and community groups along

the coast.

“Having also surfed along the Great Ocean Road since my youth, the coast has played an important role in my life. As a committee member, I feel that I’m making a contribution to the sustainable development and management of the coast and wish I could do more.”

Nominations are now being sought to serve on the committee for a three-year term, with appointments made by DSE. For more information and application packs, phone 5226 4010.

Nominations must be received by DSE by 5pm Friday, February 15.

Catch Teahupoo in 3D NINE-TIME world champion surfer, Kelly Slater, and his big wave companion, Raimana Van Bastolaer, will star in the first extreme surfing IMAX 3D movie.

Scheduled for release at IMAX Melbourne Museum on Saturday, February 20, Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D was primarily shot in the Tahitian big wave environment known to surfers around the world as Teahupoo.

Directed by award-winning director, Stephen Low, and his team of in-water and airborne cameramen, Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D captures the incredible power, majesty and danger of the most treacherous ocean waves in the world.

With a reputation as the greatest surfer of all time, Slater showcases his surfing talent and flair on the giant IMAX 3D screen as he teams up with local legend Van Bastolaer to take on Teahupoo.

Van Bastolaer, whose ancestors have surfed Tahitian waters for generations, brings a unique familiarity to the storytelling that is combined with

Slater’s mastery of wave formation.

The two surfers bond together as they lead viewers to discover how the ocean’s waves influence not only geography, but the people whose Polynesian lifestyles are built on an ancient platform part fact and part mythology.

Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D was filmed using newly developed camera equipment which will take moviegoers right into the heart of these giant waves, capturing for the first time the immense energy and sounds otherwise known only to a handful of surfing’s best.

Event support grants available ARE YOU running an event on the Surf Coast that is likely to attract visitors and boost local business?

If so, the Surf Coast Tourism Event Support Programme may be for you.

As part of the programme, the Surf Coast Tourism Board provides resources and advice to help improve and grow events that are likely to attract visitors to the region, particularly during offpeak visitor periods.

Successful applicants can obtain up to $10,000 in funding as well as other assistance from Surf Coast Shire.

“The Surf Coast Tourism Event Support Programme is also well-timed to ensure applicants can also apply to Tourism Victoria’s scheme for support.�

Coker said the new criteria put a stronger focus on events that can attract new expenditure for the benefit of the local community.

Applications should be addressed to the tourism co-ordinator, Surf Coast Shire, PO Box 350, Torquay 3228.

past, including the Toast to the Coast, Torquay Froth and Bubble Literary Festival, Aireys Open Mic, Great Ocean Road Marathon and the Anaconda Adventure Race among them,� Coker said. “Events around the year not only bring in great economic benefits – which council is in the process of quantifying more exactly – they also help make our shire an even better place to live. “This year, the criteria have been changed to better reflect those for Tourism Victoria’s Country Victoria Events Programme, for which events must also receive local government support to be eligible.

You will need to be quick, though, as applications for the first funding round are due before this Friday, January 22.

The programme also encourages event operators to reduce waste at events in collaboration with the Barwon Regional Waste Management Group, while post event reports are also required to evaluate the success of the event.

Shire mayor, Libby Coker, said events were valuable for local business, tourism operators and helped make the Surf Coast a great place to live. “We’ve had some great events supported in the

working as a paid lifeguard. “I’ve always loved the beach, I was thrown into the ocean at three months and we had a beach house at Anglesea.

Life saving looked fun but I was never sure I wanted to be involved,� she said. “When I saw the opportunity to do my Bronze at school, I thought it would be a good way to try it out and I loved it.�

Since then, Lewanski has completed every award possible, voluntarily trained thousands of others in different awards, still remains a volunteering lifesaver on weekends, and has dedicated countless hours to helping others. “Some of my most fond memories would be seeing the development of training and assessment at Fairhaven and becoming Victorian Lifesaver of the

TO BE a paid lifeguard on the beach you need to be able to show a high level of fitness, love of the ocean and be able to respond to emergency situations at the drop of hat.

For the past 10 years, Fairhaven’s Vanessa Lewanski has been doing just that. She is one of the Surf Coast’s most experienced and highly qualified lifeguards. “I just love it. It’s a big passion that I just cannot ever let go,� said Lewanski.

Now 28, Lewanski started her life saving career at 15 when she completed her Bronze medallion with her school.

A year later she came back to help with the training and by 18 she was

Year in 2005,� she said. “Most of the time I see people get into trouble because they go out of their limitations. Staying between the flags and knowing basic beach safety are really important.�

Throughout winter, Lewanski fuels her passion for life saving by being involved in IRB racing at Williamstown, where she last year made the state team.

She recently decided to go on a short break to Queensland before starting her duties this year, but admitted she found it difficult to be at the crowded beaches. “I had to go to the quiet beaches to fully relax,� she said. “If I went to the crowded beaches, even though I’m not on the job, I’m constantly watching the water.�

Medals lead the way to South Africa TORQUAY’S Aerosport Allstars instructor, Justine Bratanavicius, will travel to South Africa in the coming months to coach the country’s sport aerobics team.

The South African team was so impressed with her coaching skills and her team’s achievements at the World Aerobics Championships last month they have recruited her to train their sport aerobic athletes.

Bratanavicius said she was excited by the offer to coach the South African team and commended her team’s performance at the world championships,

held in the Caribbean.

She said Brenton Andreoli won gold in the junior male individual section and together with Jan Juc’s 16-year-old Emily Daniels, won a second gold medal in the junior mixed pair.

Allstars team member, Cameron Brown, won bronze in the senior male category and together with Laura Ellul, won silver in the senior mixed pair section.

Bratanavicius said to win four world championship medals with only four athletes from

the Aerosport club competing was amazing.

“It was a huge achievement and I am so proud of them; they all worked so hard last year they deserve the success,” she said.

Bratanavicius said sport and dance aerobics had become so popular that Aerosport Allstars would soon be opening a full-time studio.

The club offers a range of classes for all ages including dance aerobics, incorporating hip hop and funk, and sport aerobics.

Visit a seaside summer garden FLORA lovers are in for a treat this weekend when the Lewis family garden will be open to the public as part of the Australian Open Garden Scheme.

Complementing a spectacular modern home and framing wonderful sea views, the Lewis Garden at 2 Bronwyn Court, Anglesea, is an inspiring contemporary garden of native and exotic plants.

The front garden is a mixture of healthy indigenous and native plantings, including different lomandras and kangaroo paws.

Shell-grit paths meander between the mounds and lead to the contrasting back garden, where lavender hedging flows into a row of buddleias now covered in mauve blooms. An espaliered olive adds to the silvery grey foliage which provides a sympathetic link to the native plantings in front.

A mixture of old-fashioned and modern roses contribute to the predominantly mauve, pink and white floral palette with shots of red added for interest. A wisteria provides shade and a good dry stone adds structure.

Botanical art will also be on display and the garden will be open on Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 4.30pm at an entry fee of $6, with children under 18 admitted free.

Proceeds from the weekend will go towards

the neo-natal intensive care unit at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne.

Australia’s Open Garden Scheme is a not-forprofit organisation promoting the knowledge and pleasure of gardens and gardening. Each year the scheme opens the finest and most exciting private gardens across Australia to the public.

SINCE forming in 1961, Barwon Heads/13th Beach Surf Life Saving Club has patrolled 13th beach every season since.

The club began operating out of a tin shed and has now progressed to be one of the leading clubs on the Bellarine, having won the State Patrol Efficiency Award four times.

The club has a proud competition record, where it has won a number of state IRB titles.

PUBLIC NOTICE

CAT CURFEW INTRODUCED The City of Greater Geelong has introduced a cat curfew, which means cats must be kept indoors or securely confined between sunset and sunrise.

Implementation of this curfew has now commenced and we will assist cat owners with advice and information. All registered cat owners will receive a letter and brochure outlining the cat curfew requirements next week.

This is a key recommendation from the City’s Domestic Animal Management Plan, developed in consultation with residents.

Keeping a cat indoors at night helps protect it from cat fights, disease and car accidents. It also helps protect local wildlife.

Jess Farley (left) and Jess Grills are both in training for their Bronze medallion at 13th Beach.

Contrary to popular belief, cats don’t have to roam. In fact, cats kept indoors at night generally live at least three times longer than cats allowed to roam.

Photos: MARK HEENAN

Cats must also be refrained from roaming uninvited onto other people’s properties during the day. This will avoid situations where cats sometimes destroy plants, attack birds, damage items, defecate in gardens, fight with other cats and create other nuisance situations.

our community to ensure that we continue to have it.

Get on board everyone.

Noel Scott Ocean Grove

Dear Editor, I recently had the pleasure of catching the new bus service between Queenscliff and Jan Juc. It was great that it was direct to Torquay, and the cost of $3.40 for a day pass was cheaper than the coffee I bought in Torquay. There were no parking worries, other traffic problems or petrol costs – just sit back and enjoy the trip.

It was a pity that more people were not on the bus, but it was around the Christmas shopping period.

I am sure the bus will be great supported during the warmer, January days. It is not only for the young people getting around the surf areas, but a good service for us older people too.

Congratulations to McHarry’s Buslines and all the others involved in making the service available.

Although this service has the potential to offer a much-needed extension to the public bus options on the Bellarine Peninsula, it needs to be more frequent.

There also needs to be improved connections to the bus service between Drysdale and Ocean Grove, so that people on the north side of the Bellarine Peninsula can enjoy it.

It is a great service, but it needs more support from

Disapproval at circus in town Dear Editor, Has anyone stopped by the Perry Brothers Circus in Torquay and seen the magnificent tethered elephant?

If you have, did you stop long enough to notice that it is tethered on a 30-metre chain in a very small electrified enclosure? Our family did.

Haven’t we evolved enough in our human family to realise that wild animals for our entertainment is no longer acceptable?

We need to rally as a community and lobby our local councillors to insist that circuses using wild animals are not welcome in our community, and have no place in a progressive, aware and sensitive society.

We reject whaling, we reject bears being kept for their bile and we reject caged chicken eggs – what’s the difference?

We would like to see you take our family’s political, social and animal rights stand and boycott this and any other circus that use animals for our thrills.

Poor guidance for young riders Dear Editor, Residents of Barrabool were astounded to see motocross riders ‘ripping it up’ at McAdam Park on January 12 – a total fire ban day.

Some of the activity was conducted within several metres of long grass. The chief executive officer of Motorcycling Australia took swift action to cease the activity around midday after he was alerted and he should be congratulated for this.

But who in the local motorcycling fraternity sanctioned this event on a total fire ban day?

Ironically, this was apparently a rider education event. Young riders deserve better guidance.

Help keep your muscles healthy

BY SARAH LAWRENCE REMEDIAL massage therapist Kate Cartwright’s friendly and practical manner never fails to put her patients at ease.

Her business, Sustainable Body Massage, follows the philosophy that the body should be sustained through healthy living and looking after the muscles.

Cartwright also has an environmentally sustainable attitude to her work, where she makes a conscious effort to use biodegradable washing power on the towels, energy efficient light globes and she works from home when able.

Cartwright decided to take up remedial massage after finishing her nursing degree at Deakin University in Warrnambool two years ago. “Through nursing I’ve seen the increase in general lifestyle diseases,� she said. “If I can help people maintain an active level by decreasing their muscle soreness then that is my link in the chain. “After univeristy I was very shocked by chronic illnesses I saw

from nursing and I wanted to do something extra to help so I took up remedial massage.�

Apart from her massage therapy, Cartwright also works as a renal nurse. “The massage therapy has made being a nurse a lot more interesting. I feel I understand my patients better,� she said.

Cartwright’s warm and down-toearth personality has already ensured she has many loyal clients. “I like to chat to people about preventing poor health through promotion of exercise and a positive attitude,� she said. “It’s a huge area that remedial massage therapists can have an impact on while we talk to them.�

When not at work, Cartwright sustains her own health through bike riding and running. She recently completed Amy’s Ride as well as the Geelong Cotton On Fun Run. Kate Cartwright is available on Fridays at Marumi Smith’s Massage Therapy at 86 Alleyne Avenue, Torquay, or at her own clinic at 15 Cheryl Crescent, Belmont.

A NEW funding scheme has opened aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of people in local communities, through technology and the arts.

The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) grants will fund a broad range of initiatives to increase arts participation, as well as individual and community connections. “The new Technology, Arts and Social Connection (TASC) Scheme intends to support arts and community organisations to work with people of all ages as well as from culturally diverse backgrounds,� said VicHealth chief executive officer, Todd Harper. “A focus of the scheme emphasises active community participation in planning and decision making processes. “Involvement is the key. There is evidence that when we are involved in the arts it is good for our wellbeing. “Technology offers us new opportunities to create connections between individuals and communities. “We also encourage organisations to think about ways of addressing barriers to social participation.�

Grants of up to $25,000 are available to support initiatives by arts and community groups, organisations and partnerships to undertake activities that build social connection through innovative engagement with the digital environment.

Applications close on 15 February 2010.

Arts organisations (including arts peak/advocacy bodies working in partnership with member organisations) and community organisations are invited to apply.

Colley joins the Hayden team

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

First home buyer assistance changes ON JANUARY 1 the amount of government financial assistance for first home buyers decreased. Since the assistance was introduced it has been welcomed not only by first home buyers but also vendors and builders.

The total financial assistance for a first home buyer when purchasing an established home in Victoria is now $9,000. This is comprised of the state government’s grant, which is worth $7,000, and the bonus, which is worth $2,000.

The federal government Boost, which was worth $3,500, ceased on December, 31 last year.

A higher level of assistance remains for first home buyers who are purchasing a new home. Within metropolitan Melbourne $18,000 can be accessed, comprising the grant ($7,000) and the bonus ($11,000). The federal government boost, which was worth $7,000, also ceased on December 31 last year.

If your first home is a newly constructed one outside metropolitan Melbourne, a total of $22,500 worth of assistance can be accessed. This comprises the grant ($7,000), the bonus ($11,000) and the regional bonus, which is worth $4,500.

The federal government boost, which was worth $7,000, ceased on December 31 last year.

The grant, which was introduced on July, 1, 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership, is an ongoing scheme and the bonus will cease on June, 30 this year unless further funding is provided.

More details on eligibility for financial assistance can be found at www.sro.gov.au

surfcoasttimes.com.au

“While I was rowing I came close to making the Olympic team and met my wife through the sport,” said Colley.

Yet the sports action does not stop there, Colley has had a heavy involvement in Jiu Jitsu, where he won an Australian title in 1996 as well as a silver medal at the Pan Pacific Games.

“Jiu Jitsu taught me a lot of discipline and dedication. Also how to be calm and focused when you’re under pressure, which I hope I’ll use in real estate,” he said.

He has also always remained committed to life saving at the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club since his days as a Nipper. He has been a member of the rowing crew and enjoyed the close friends he has made through the club.

When not working, Colley uses every spare moment to spend with his wife, Anthea, and two sons, Joshua, 4 and Ethan, 6.

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

THE NEWEST team member at Hayden Real Estate Torquay is the calm and friendly Simon Colley.

Born and bred in Torquay, he comes to Hayden’s to work alongside Patrick Hayden with a wealth of knowledge about the area and a passion for property.

Previously a builder, Colley has been involved in building many of Torquay’s landmarks, including the police station, fire station, RSL building and many houses.

Since beginning his building apprenticeship at age 17, he has always had a passion for investing in property.

“I’ve invested in many houses and land through

the years. I love the thrill of the industry,” he said.

From his building and investing experience, Colley believes he will be able to strike the right balance with vendors and buyers alike.

“I’ve got lots of empathy for both buyers and sellers.

I can cover all aspects. From my building experience, I can show people how to fix little problems in their house to get the best results,” he said.

“And from investing, I’ve learned all the technical terms and seen how vital it is for agents to stick by their vendors.”

Apart from his working life, Colley, 33, has always been a highly active and talented sportsman.

In his late teens he was part of the state rugby union team followed by an interest in rowing.

Wealth of opportunities PORTLAND, located in south-west Victoria, offers visitors a wealth of opportunities to explore rugged landscapes, discover a colourful history, get back to nature, surf some great waves, hoist a sail in a brisk wind, catch a fish, wander historic streets and dine on great local food and wine.

Portland became Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first permanent European settlement in 1834. Today it boasts more than 200 beautifully maintained heritage buildings and private residences. Take the Portland self-guided Historic Buildings Walk for a closer look at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hundreds of heritage buildings. For an insight into Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long seafaring history, visit the Maritime Discovery Centre.

Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront is alive with activity. See big ships from around the world come in to load up local produce and the local fishing fleet

unload its catch. Take a ride on the foreshore cable tram and watch for whales during the winter months.

For those who like fishing, Portland is an anglerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise. From a boat or the beach the range of fish that can be hooked is extensive, including King George whiting, flathead, snapper, tuna and mulloway.

Beginning and ending at the Portland Visitor Information Centre is the 250 kilometre Great South West Walk. Try one section or tackle the entire walk and see stunning forests, river gorges, capes and beaches along the way.

Portland is 362 kilometres west of Melbourne. Travel by car via the Great Ocean Road, Princes or Henty Highways. Daily rail and coach services are available from Melbourne. Daily air flights are also available from Melbourne and Adelaide Airports.

Small, beautiful and responsible

“In an age of “McMansions,” an International survey of the latest in residential architecture proves that small is beautiful and responsible.

It found people are becoming more environmentally aware and genuinely wanted designs that make maximum use of the smallest possible footprint in order to protect the environment. To that end, Blue Cove Homes has developed a number of homes based on the Japanese concept of combining indoor/outdoor living. The homes have been designed to fit on

smart blocks in the 350m2 to 400m2 size range and proves that efficiency as well as beautiful, thoughtful design can be had in a tiny setting without compromising the elements people expect in their homes.

Functionality and Style have been the driving force throughout the design with a focus on the following 3 points: • Buildings, and the features within, must be appropriate to the clients needs and be easy to use and maintain

• Buildings should be beautiful and instil a feeling of sanctuary • Buildings must be space efficient and use the minimum footprint.

Blue Cove Homes has incorporated into these designs Passive Solar principals, this is to minimise the need for heating and cooling and make the home work well.

For more information on this design phone 1300 858 228 or email office@bluecovehomes. com.au or visit www.bluecovehomes.com.au

Looking after the Bellarine HOTONDO Homes franchisees, Andrew and Melinda Hopper, are professional and reliable home builders servicing the Bellarine Peninsula.

Andrew, Melinda and the team at Hotondo Homes in Ocean Grove are currently in the process of constructing a new display home in the Arlington Rise estate, Portarlington.

The Dakota 267 display, which is expected to open at the beginning of March, will feature 28.7 squares of living and entertaining space. It will also include an alfresco dining area and attached double garage.

Having worked in the building industry for the past 16 years, Andrew understands the needs of the local area and has experience building all styles of homes, including modern, traditional and coastal designs.

Being part of the Hotondo Homes building network means he has access to more than 90 floor plans ranging in size from 15 square designs perfect for first home buyers through to 40 square homes for families looking to upsize.

Each floor plan can be modified to adapt to any individual needs the client may have. Clients also receive fixed-price contracts before construction begins so they are not surprised by any hidden extras further down the track.

Andrew and Melinda have a showroom located on the corner of Grubb Road and Sinclair Street, Ocean Grove, where customers can view a large range of floor plans, house designs and building products.

The showroom is open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 11am-3pm, or by appointment.

For more information or to make an appointment, contact the Ocean Grove office on 5255 3556 or visit www.hotondo.com.au

Little delivers a lot in building AND DESIGN

TORQUAY building company Little Constructions ticks all the boxes when it comes to creating new homes and renovations that are unique, environmentally-friendly and stress-free.

Mark Little prides himself on maintaining a hands-on presence in every project – from initial quotes and contracts through to project management and pulling on a nail bag when required, Little understands the importance of being involved every step of the way.

surfcoasttimes.com.au

“From day one it is critical to ensure all parties are headed in the same direction,” said Little, who stays in weekly – and often daily – contact with his clients.

“Contrary to popular belief, there are constant decisions to be made throughout the construction process and our clients appreciate being kept up to date.”

At the start of each project, Little conducts a site meeting with the client and a draftsperson to ensure the individuality of the design and to establish a passive solar orientation.

“Most people now understand the environmental and economic value of passive solar buildings and our clients are always pleased to know Little Constructions incorporates it into every design,” he said.

Little is a fully-accredited and award-winning builder with more than 15 years’ industry experience and many happy clients across the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong.

Teen star on the rise

BY SARAH LAWRENCE TORQUAY teenager Chris Hay is quickly making a name for himself.

At 18, he has already been touted as the next Xavier Rudd – and while that may be a big burden to carry at such a young age, Hay is enjoying the ride.

The teenager has been making a name for himself on the local scene playing at venues including Left Off The Rocks, Bomboras and the deck at the Anglesea Surf Club.

He describes his music as a mix of “a touch of old school Mowtown, some blues, jazzy tones and reggae with a bit of Xavier Rudd thrown in”.

“All through school I was really into Xavier Rudd, so he was a big influence on my music,” Hay said.

“I used to take off my shoes performing at school.

People used to ask why and I’d say Xav does it.”

One of the common traits between Hay and Rudd is that they both play the didgeridoo and stomp box.

“I went to Darwin two years ago and brought a didgeridoo. After that it inspired me to teach myself to circular breath and bring it into my performances,” Hay said.

He believes his performing talent was inherited from his Scottish grandfather, who used to sing in pubs.

Hay has found as he is getting older, he has become more disciplined with his music.

“Lately I’ve been scrapping a lot of my songs because I think they are naive and childish,” he said.

“As I’ve developed as a musician I’ve been crafting my songs more carefully and putting more pressure on myself to make them really good.

“I write about what is happening in my life. Things like moving to the beach, girls that I like and how life works for me at the moment.”

Since finishing Year 12 last November, Hay has been enjoying life and continuing to play music while preparing for his next step – starting a music performance course at the Gordon Institute of Tafe.

“On stage I’m most comfortable, I’m in my element. Some people say I’m shy but on stage all that changes,” Hay said.

“I really want to continue with my music. After I started playing guitar at age 12, I got straight into it and knew that was what I wanted to do.”

Hay will be performing at Left Off The Rocks this Sunday night.

Torquay teenager Chris Hay will play Left Off The Rocks this Sunday night, ensuring a laidback, easy listening session.

Hot Club Swing on GRAPEVINE show at Queenscliff Jon Helmer }

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

Tickled pink

SO, THERE I was with no air conditioning, no bloody nothing… inside was unbearable, yet outside, as night came down and took the edge off the heat, we were able to enjoy the homemade pizzas and, to my delight, I remembered I had a bottle of rosé in the fridge.

It was the new release from Yalumba and it went down a treat, but more on that below…

It seems acceptance of rosé as a very approachable and versatile wine style over the last few years has seen its star rise. The wines are generally either red cordial-like in colour, fresh and fruity, or dry, pale and savoury.

If you haven’t yet succumb to the delightful charms of rosé, then here’s some reasonably priced bottles to get you started.

Yalumba ‘Y’ Series Sangiovese Rosé 2009 ($12) Made from Sangiovese grapes, this is quite clean and crisp with lively acidity and just enough ripe cherry fruit to carry it.

Slightly savoury and a tad drier than expected, which added to its racy, crunchy charm… Hits the spot.

FOR SOMETHING that bit different, why not head down to the Uniting Church in Queenscliff this Sunday?

From 8pm, Hot Club Swing will perform their rarely heard and challenging style of music that is probably best described as French gypsy jazz.

The music draws from an exotic palate of classical, jazz and gypsy influences, painting on a canvas that can be eloquently French, starkly rustic or darkly and romantically gypsy. The group is mainly inspired by the virtuosic Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, who originated this acoustic music in 1930s Paris.

As a result of many showcase performances, the group has built a dedicated and diverse audience, which is always eager to return to an evening of this captivating music.

The current quintet features Ben Calderazzo (leader/guitar), Phil Smurthwaite (violin), Matt Kenneally (rhythm guitar), Rob Gador (double bass) and Nadine Joy (vocals).

The band formed in the summer of 1997 in Geelong, with guitarists Calderazzo, Ben Cohen and violinist Smurthwaite.

A meeting with double-bassist Gador in mid-1998 provided the opportunity to add the much-needed fourth member to round out their developing sound, and the quartet began to gig heavily in and around

Geelong, including Port Fairy Music Festival, the inaugural Queenscliff Music Festival and countless other events.

A chance meeting with chanteuse Tessa Lee in 2001 brought her French/English vocals to the band and eventually the studio. Musique du Jour was recorded 2001 and was the band’s first release in March 2002.

Lee left the band in 2002 and her replacement is the experienced and affable Nadine Joy. Guest musicians featured through the years have been David Lord (clarinet), Michael Barnes (clarinet), Zac Barter (bass), Rob Turner (violin), Tamil Rogeon (violin), Josie Scott (vocals).

Hot Club Swing released their second full-length album Sacré Cœur, in December 2004, featuring many original compositions as well as some handpicked jazz standards.

2007 was a huge year for the band as they celebrated their 10th birthday with two successful shows staged in Torquay and Brunswick.

Now, the long-awaited show returns to the Bellarine on Sunday from 8pm.

Tickets, which include supper, are priced at $25, and table bookings for six to eight people can be made by phoning 5258 1986.

Wirra Wirra ‘Mrs Wigley’ McLaren Vale Grenache 2009 Rosé ($16) Mrs Wigley is a particular cat that has become a permanent feature of the Wirra Wirra cellars in McLaren Vale and is such a character that the winemakers decided to immortalise her name on their outstanding rosé. The Mrs Wigley rosé is a Grenache-based wine that is so juicy, so bright and so fresh that it makes for an attractive option when choosing a wine for some serious fun this summer. The ripe, fragrant berry flavours burst on the palate with a refreshing, yet balanced zingy acidity on the finish. Spicy herbal aromatics give it a slightly savoury complexity adding to the overall appeal of the wine.

Innocent Bystander Yarra Valley Pinot Rosé 2009 ($20) A vibrant pale pink/salmon colour with complex aromatics; cherries, strawberries immediately spring to mind. The Pinot Noir gives the wine more of those slightly savoury plum and spicy characters to the aromatics. These are echoed on the dry palate with crisp acidity and good length of flavour on the finish.

New resolve in the New Year? My resolution is…

NOT EVERYONE goes through the annual rigmarole of making resolutions for the New Year… I certainly don’t.

But this year I have resolved to try out a new recipe each week – and so far I haven’t broken my secret little pact with myself.

One time I visited a regional food festival at which one of the main drawcards was celebrity chef, Gabriel Gate. Naturally a huge crowd had gathered round to hang on every single, gloriously sexy, French-accented word of advice Gate had to give to his adoring audience.

He knows a thing or two about cooking, and was saying on this occasion that as cooks or chefs, those of us who make it a profession or career, have the advantage of knowing our repertoire of dishes intimately, simply because we repeatedly make these dishes hundreds of times over.

We can constantly play around with them, tweaking the ingredients to give a new slant to the overall taste or result – be it in the presentation of the dish, or the variance of spices used.

The ‘house cook’ is very often shackled by the particular parameters of the palates he/she is

cooking for. The children or partner may have a limited range of food likes, dietary requirements or there may be time or budget restraints.

However, there is still a challenge there. And this is my resolution to make a new dish at least once a week.

Are you like me, constantly tearing out a recipe that catches your eye from a magazine, carefully squirreling it away in a drawer or folder, never to clap eyes on it again?

I confess, I am constantly gathering recipes, but now I do actually try them out.

More often than not the new dish makes a very welcome change from the routine menu we often seem to cling to week in week out.

Well, I say, break out of that routine and at the same time expand on your own culinary skills by trying out a new recipe.

By doing this, as Gabriel Gate said, you do become a much better cook. You move away from all the tried and true dishes you’ve been making for years, and along the way gain new skills, explore new tastes, investigate new or unusual-to-you cuisines.

Here’s one for starters – totally tantalising tofu!

What! I hear you say, how can tofu taste any good?

Well, believe me, this is definitely a dish to try. Mark Bittman’s recipe for this dish begins by explaining that a favourite Indian dish of his called saag paneer (or panir) made from a particular type of cheese.

It is almost a standard dish in many Indian restaurants, particularly northern India. The panir is made by scalding milk and souring it with lemon juice, strained through a muslin and allowed to hang to remove the moisture and become quite firm.

The Greeks do a similar thing using yoghurt to make labna. You could substitute the homemade cheese with fresh pecorino or haloumi – both are quite ‘unsalty’, white, and do not melt too easily.

However, Bittman’s version of this classic dish is to substitute tofu for its qualities of being supremely delicate and, well, bland.

The dish bears all the hallmarks of vegetarian Indian cuisine with lots of dairy and the aromatic spices. The spices should not be too fiery, but rather on the sweet side with the combination of nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon.

Totally tantalising tofu Ingredients 1½ tablespoons butter (or oil) 3 teaspoons minced ginger 3 teaspoons garlic 3 teaspoons dried chilli flakes 1½ tablespoons garam masala Pinch of salt 1 bunch of spinach ½ cup yoghurt ½ cup light cream Packet of tofu, cut into 2cm cubes Method In a pan gently heat the butter (or oil), add the minced ginger, garlic and dried chilli flakes and cook for one minute.

Stir in the garam masala and a large pinch of salt, then add the spinach, in batches if necessary, as it doesn’t take long to wilt and reduce in bulk.

Add the yoghurt and cream, cooking the mixture over a medium high heat. At the last moment incorporate the tofu, cut into 2cm cubes, stir through gently and cook for another minute or two.

Three Little Pigs – with a difference THE TIMELESS fun of the Three Little Pigs story takes an environmental twist in the Potato Shed’s family entertainment this week.

Theatre 3222 will combine classic storytelling with catchy tunes and an important environmental message in The Three Little Pigs Go Green, which starts today and finishes on Friday.

The fun begins when the local mayor announces a competition to see who can build the best house out of recycled materials.

Sally Pigg, Trudy Pigg and Barry Pigg set about discovering which materials will make the best recycled house while the Big Bad Wolf hatches a plan to try and run away with the grand prize.

Will Big Bad Wolf’s devious plan work?

Will Barry, Sally or Trudy win the grand prize?

With songs including I am the Wolf and Build Build Build, The Three Little Pigs Go Green will be a fun way to learn about recycling amid all the humour, colourful characters and audience participation for which the Potato Shed’s holiday shows have become renowned.

Shows will be held twice daily at 10.30am and 1.30pm, with performances running for an hour and are suitable for family members of all ages.

Tickets can be purchased at the door but credit card bookings will also be available at any City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre or at the Potato Shed on 5251 1998.

It has been two years since Torquay Hotel has had Fox Sports, but the good news is that it’s now back.

“It’s excellent that locals can now come in and watch more sport with their mates,” said Torquay Hotel’s Andrew Routley.

“There are lots of sports fans in Torquay, so hopefully they will be happy with it.

“Fox footy will be great during the AFL season – you will be able to see every game live on our numerous flat screens.

“There are also pool tables, TAB facilities and a multitude of sports channels in the hotel. It makes it a sports bar in every sense of the word.”

The channel offers the most relevant, comprehensive, live and exclusive coverage of sport on Australian television, including AFL, rugby league, rugby union, tennis, cricket, golf, basketball, football, baseball, athletics, swimming, motor sport and many more.

It is a first of many changes to come from new owners, Routley and Simon Vickers-Willis, with many more to come.

Jamie from the Torquay Hotel is excited by the return of Fox Sports.

Reader set to thrill Apollo Bay MULTI-AWARD winning artist, Eddi Reader, is heading back to Australia.

The Scottish songstress has a new album out and will be showcasing songs from it, as well as many old favourites, when she appears at the Apollo Bay Music Festival in March.

Reader is one of the best-loved artists in Scotland, even being described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest national treasurers and most vibrant natural resourcesâ&#x20AC;? by national newspaper, The Scotsman.

Readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Love Is The Way, is her seventh solo album and is also being regarded as one of her best productions.

For her trip to the Apollo Bay Music Festival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which will be held on March 26, 27 and 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reader is combining her talents with singer songwriter Boo Hewerdine and acclaimed accordion player Alan Kelly.

Love Is The Way was self-produced by Reader and was recorded in a matter of days with her band in Glasgow.

The album includes a mix of songs written with her long-time writing partner, Hewerdine, songs written with her life partner, John Douglas (The Trashcan Sinatras), and a song from Irish singer/songwriter Declan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke.

As well, there is a rare Brian Wilson composition, a Reader/Fleetwood Mac â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mash upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and a song from Dublin songwriter Jack Maher.

From the traditional to the contemporary, Reader brings to life all forms of song. Her taste in co-writers, writers, songs and players is impeccable and anything with her name on it is guaranteed musical treasure.

While the perfection of her technique is acknowledged, what sets Reader apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance; her ability not only to move the listener but to connect her experience to that of her audience.

Her passion and instinct move people in a way reminiscent of those who have influenced her work. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature

IMMERSE yourself in the laidback sounds of Josh Pyke this weekend.

The renowned Australian singer will be making his mark in Torquay on Sunday evening at the Torquay Hotel.

Last time he played at the Torquay Hotel, Pyke drew a crowd of more than 500 people in the middle of winter.

His critically acclaimed debut album Memories & Dust in 2007 collected three ARIA Awards, hit the charts at number four and went on to sell more than 50,000 copies.

The album was released in the United Kingdom and Pyke toured there extensively. A slot on the Glastonbury Festival bill preceded a run of soldout theatre shows back in Australia, followed by Homebake and the massive Big Day Out tour.

His second album, Chimneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Afire, released in 2008, also received rave reviews and debuted at number three on the official ARIA Album Chart.

Last year Pyke reclaimed the best adult contemporary album and was also nominated for best male artist.

He will be playing songs from both albums at the Torquay Hotel, with doors opening at 8pm. Tickets available from the motel reception as well as at the door.

Bands such as Spectrum illuminated the 1970s and inspired many of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular music icons.

Spectrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big hit, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Gone (Someday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have money) still inspires crowds to sing along all over the country.

BY SARAH LAWRENCE TORQUAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S renowned and ever-growing Froth and Bubble Literary Festival is sending the call out for more locals to become involved.

Those wanting a say or to have some involvement in the third festival can attend the first meeting for the year, which will be held on Friday, February 5.

The meeting will be held at the Pear Tree CafĂŠ, located at Shop 6, 7 Gilbert Street, Torquay, starting at 6.30pm.

Locals are encouraged to come with their ideas for the festival, which will be held this year on the weekend of June 19 and 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We aim to involve everyone in a hands-on approach to literature,â&#x20AC;? said event organiser, John Adams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Torquay is a growing community and we have people coming in every week with talents, and the festival is a great way to find out about them and show them off.â&#x20AC;?

If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the meeting but would still like to be kept in the loop about what is happening, the festival has recently launched an e-newsletter.

2010 Prosperity planet Venus moves into your money zone (until February 11) so capitalise on any lucky financial breaks that come your way.

Developing a second stream of income looks promising but you’ll need to be patient. You’ve got a brilliant business brain so make sure you’re using it to its full potential.

Rams are a rowdy, rambunctious lot but you’ll be more philosophical over the coming year, as Jupiter passes through your soul sector.

With Venus moving into your hopes and wishes zone, it’s time to draw up a new wish-list. Be inspired by birthday great Dolly Parton (born on January 19) “I wake up with new dreams every day.”

Jupiter jumps into your adventure zone, so it’s time to crawl out of your Crab shell and see what’s happening in the big wide world.

Foreign shores beckon as you extend your connections from local to global via travel or the internet. Avoid making mountains out of molehills midweek, when your emotions are erratic – and operatic!

Your health is set to improve as Jupiter activates your wellbeing zone.

Expect your energy levels to get a welcome boost but make sure you control your sweet tooth and do plenty of regular exercise, otherwise you’ll put on weight. Venus vamps into your romance zone so this week’s all about love, love, love.

Lucky Jupiter powers into your peer group/business contacts zone so, the more you get out there and network, the more successful you’ll be. Your motto for the week is from birthday great AA Milne (born on January 18) “You can’t stay in your corner waiting for others to come to you. Sometimes you have to go to them”.

Venus moves into your partnership zone (until February 11) so prepare to fall in love, propose, get married, renew your wedding vows or organise a special romantic rendezvous. The best way to resolve conflicts and chaos this week is with calm co-operation. It’s time for tough lions to turn into tame pussy-cats.

With Jupiter lighting up your children zone, some Scorpios will welcome a new baby into the family in 2010. Communicating with others will be tricky this week – especially on Thursday. Don’t add fuel to the fire by being sarcastic or suspicious. If you’ve got something to say, speak up openly and honestly.

You can look forward to the best financial period in the last 12 years as Jupiter (planet of abundance) bounds into your money zone. Be disciplined though; don’t squander good fortune through impulsive decisions or poor planning. Venus shimmies into your sign (until February 11) so you’ll be at your charming, flirtatious Aquarian best.

Expect lucky career breaks to start appearing, as fortunate Jupiter stimulates your career zone. 2010 is definitely the year to upgrade your professional qualifications, expand your business or combine work and travel. A friend tells you something in confidence midweek, but can you zip your lip and keep a secret?

Virtuous Virgos – don’t work yourself into a lather being practical and disciplined this week. With Venus in your daily routine zone, it’s time to let your hair down and have some self-indulgent fun. Jupiter moves into your relationship zone, so singles are likely to find love with someone from a different country or culture.

Expect changes to do with your domestic environment as Jupiter (your ruling planet) visits your home zone. Some Sagittarians will move, renovate or extend; while others will travel (or relocate) overseas. This week there are plenty of social activities happening within your local community so take the time to get involved.

Break out the champagne! Jupiter (planet of good fortune) charges into your sign – for the first time in 12 years. 2010 will be a fabulous year for Fish as you study or travel, and become more confident about your talents and abilities. Lucky opportunities will come your way but you must grab them or they will pass you by.

‘Mushy’ eyes main tour DESPITE not re-qualifying for the elite 2010 ASP World Tour, Jan Juc’s Nic Muscroft still has a good chance of remaining on the tour due to radical new alterations in the ratings for this season.

Just last week Muscroft was awarded a sponsor wildcard into the Quiksilver Pro trials, which will run the day before the event starts.

Muscroft will be up against some talented local surfers along with Hawaiian Bruce Irons, but in this field on the Gold Coast, ‘Mushy’ will be favoured to win through to the main event.

If he can make the main event, then wherever he places will see him accumulate points on the world ratings – a first for wildcards this season.

Muscroft will also be an excellent chance of winning the wildcard to the Rip Curl Pro at Bells in April.

These rating point opportunities are essential this season, and if Muscroft can capitalise on the upcoming trials, he could fast-track his way back onto the elite tour by mid-year.

Muscroft is a proven performer on the Gold Coast, where he placed 17th last year in the Quiksilver Pro.

Anglesea completes worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest race open categories.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew was represented by sweep Neil Heathcote with rowers Sarah Griffen, Emily Conte, Liz Haynes, Rennae Stefanatti, Edwina Banks-Anderson and Jacki Gregory.

The veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crew included sweep Lincoln Heathcote, with stand-ins due to injury Ian McGain, Luke Price and Rhys Harris. Rowers included Martin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady, Steve Mitchell, Richard Holding, Barry White, Ian Smith, and Ian McGain.

THE longest and toughest surfboat race in the world, The George Bass Surfboat Marathon, was completed by two Anglesea surfboat crews who returned home last Friday.

The race covers 190 kilometres in seven days from Batemans Bay to Eden along the south coast of New South Wales.

It recreates the feats of Naval Commander George Bass who explored the coastline in 1797. Anglesea crews competed in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veteran and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Up to eight crew were allowed per surfboat, with the crew rotating every 20 minutes and crew changes were made at sea from support craft while the surfboats were still on the move.

The race left its mark on the Anglesea teams with extensive bruising, wounds and blisters. Although finishing down in the placings, both crews undertook one of the biggest challenges in surfboat racing with minimum crew and support through some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most spectacular coastal scenery.

The evening concludes with light refreshments, and presentation of awards. Everyone is welcome to come along and observe the antics.

The general public is beginning to realise that bowls is a fun sport suitable for all ages.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB

BY MARGOT SMITH

IT DIDN’T take long to get another player in the 2010 Hall of Fame with Tony Appleby scoring 48 points on Wednesday. Tony’s round included a wipe and two holes where he only scored one point. Fortunately, he was able to compensate with one 5 pointer on the 14th and a few 4s. A great round and now he is thinking that he won’t be winning again anytime soon.

Junior championship Another winner during the week was Jarryd McGuane. Jarryd played Tommy Midolo in the matchplay final on Friday and won 5/3 for his first championship trophy.

Mid-week results Tony was the only clear cut winner

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB

BY MIKE BRADY

WHILE most people continue to be in holiday mode, members can be assured captains Gary Rogers and Sari Lowden have been working hard behind the scenes. One of the biggest jobs is setting up the syllabus. This is not an easy task and made more frustrating when dates for some of the district events are issued late and then changed which causes further changes to our already set dates. Despite that, Gary and Sari remained cool and have been able to finalise the syllabus and send the final draft to the printers.

Hopefully the books will be available by the first week of February.

In the meantime just remember Sunday, February 7 is opening day. The event will be mixed 4BBB with a shotgun start at 12.30pm.

on Wednesday – all other results were decided by countbacks. Dale Saunders won A grade from Travis Capon with 40 points; Peter Williams won B grade from Ian Weaver with 39 points; and Irena Karpala won the women’s from Ros Holland with 41 points. NTPs were Nobby Forster, Dandy Talbot, Anne Stokes and Chris John.

Thursday was another day of high scores. Des Clark won C grade with 8 up and Margot Parton won div 1 with 6 up. Other winners for the men were Bryan James in A grade with square and Mario Tutone in B grade with 4 up. Barb Cook had her first round after a break and managed a win in div 2 with 3 up and Julianne Randles-Simpson won div 3 with square. NTPs were Greg Davis, Richard Hammett, Barb Cook and Ted Donoghue.

Junior pennant starts in early February.

The players have been practicing in anticipation of the season. Gary is hoping to finalise the teams this week.

The booking sheet is filling up for this Friday night’s nine and dine. If anyone wants a game please check at the pro shop if any time slots are available. If you do not want to play, feel free to attend and for $10 enjoy a BBQ tea.

Tuesday’s open par event Despite the extreme heat, a few women ventured out early. Helen and Judy Sceney, Lyn Moore and Sheena Scholten all had +1.

Wednesday’s open stableford event.

In div 1, Laurie Taylor with 42 won from Ron Haeberle 41. Peter Ronne 40 won div 2 with Ashley Cormick 39 r/up.

fishing My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

BY GARRY KERR

by the federal government to attend the Rome conference.

HIS programme officer, Alexia Wellbelove, has endorsed the ban under the Conservation of Migratory species, and at the same time is dismissing Garrett’s attempt to reach an agreement with anglers, when last month he said the government would consider allowing the tag and release of mako and porbeagle sharks for research purposes, She said the decision “smacks of a complete back down in the face of protest from a small constituency of recreational fishers”.

I would like to ask HSI if catch and release is not an option, what does the HSI expect us to do? Place signs at the end of our lines instructing the Makos to not touch our baits or that this is a mako free zone.

Their comprehension and understanding of fishing is non-existent, yet Garrett is taking advice from HSI and sending them to represent us at international treaty agreements on issues that affect us directly.

Last month Dr Julian Pepperell, a respected fisheries scientist, said any Australian ban was “mystifying – there is no biological sense to it.

There is no evidence of any connection between the populations of makos in the Mediterranean and the short finned Makos off the Australian coast”.

“Makos just don’t move between Australia and the Mediterranean.

Banning fishing here will do absolutely nothing to help the Makos there,” he said.

I ask anyone who believes in our right to fish, to attend this meeting.

THIS week will be an important watershed for all fishermen.

A meeting is to be held tonight at 6.30pm at the Torquay Angling Club to discuss the proposed ban on mako fishing by the Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett.

Garrett plans to list longfin mako, shortfin mako and porbeagle shark species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act on January 29 and totally ban all fishing for them.

The ramifications for this decision will have farreaching effects.

Much discussion has taken place about why this is to happen, but there are even more far-reaching concerns with regards to the process itself that has bought this about.

An explanation is needed from Mr Garrett and his department as to why a green group gets a seat at a key marine meeting which has a major impact on recreational fishing when the fishing industry misses out.

The group Humane Society International (HSI) attended the Rome conference on the Convention on Migratory Species and had a key seat at the table. In the meantime representatives of the recreational fishing industry and the Australian Fisheries Management Authority were not invited nor adequately consulted about what could occur at the conference.

An explanation is needed as to what role HSI played as an official participant within the Australian delegation and if support was provided to HSI
