Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association says the town does not need parking meters BY NATHAN HALE
ANY MOTION put to council to introduce parking meters to Torquay will be met with strong opposition from the town’s Commerce and Tourism Association. Councillor Jim Tutt is preparing a motion to be put to Surf Coast Shire Council at its next monthly meeting to investigate the possibility of installing parking meters in the town. The idea comes as a way to ease the burden on ratepayers, who may have to foot the bill for the redevelopment of White’s Beach. As Tutt throws open the idea to council, Commerce and Tourism Association president, Martin Duke, said his group would strongly oppose any push for parking meters. “We are strongly against the idea,” Duke said. “We don’t need a tourist tax… and that’s effectively what it is. “We want to bring tourists here to the town – not make it harder for them to visit.” Duke said he also doubted whether the idea would ever pay for itself. “I don’t know whether it would be a cost-effective option,” he said. “With the initial set-up costs involved and ongoing costs, I don’t think it would pay for itself. “We don’t want the ratepayers paying for the work, but there has got to be some other way around it than putting in a tourist tax – and that’s what this is. “I know it might only be an idea at the moment, but I think there has to be something more viable.” The idea of installing parking meters in Torquay is not new – and has been met previously with concern from citizens. Great Ocean Road Coast Committee installed parking meters in Lorne – which stayed for three summers – however, when they were proposed for Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea, residents opposed the move. The opposition to the parking meters on that occasion was because residents were not exempt from paying for parking. Under councillor Tutt’s motion, no payment method for residents has been nominated. Tutt said the motion will be simple in that in will call for an investigation into the viability of parking meters. “I will be proposing a formal motion to investigate the whole cost benefits of installing such a system,” Tutt said. “I am leaving everything open while we investigate all options… In fact, the motion just says

“But we really have to try and do something to take the burden off the ratepayers. “The idea is to have it all researched and evaluated, then lets take it back to the community and hear the pros and cons.
“It certainly wouldn’t be brought in without any community consultation.” To see what locals think of the parking meters, see Page 4. To have your say on the idea, email letters to the editor at editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au

Julia Brangwyn Julia started the Casuarina Program on the recommendation of friends, who thought it would help with work she was already doing in local community groups as well as help her further her passion for the environment. Initially, Julia saw the program as a way to gain skills that would help her not only build connections with her community, but also in her professional career. She left with much more. “It gave me the confidence to have a go,� Julia says. “We covered a range of topics in the very practical sessions such as effective presentations; being solutions focused; looking at and reading social styles in order to help run meetings and connect with people; story telling including using images to tell the story; and uncovering the core message in order to keep it simple. “One technique that I found particularly helpful is using
There has been much concern about council’s recent decision, and the consequent planning amendment, that enables council to consider signs larger than 10m2 on a site at the West Coast Business Park recently purchased by Bunnings. This amendment means that if Bunnings decides to submit a planning application, which it has not done, a request can be made for signage greater that 10m2. In the past, any business at the business park, could submit for several 10m2 signs on the one site. Regardless, signage along with all other aspects of any planning application for the site will be carefully scrutinised and a decision made in the context of council’s planning scheme which requires council to consider important issues such as neighbourhood character, zoning specification, setbacks, height, car parking, location and impact on local amenity. In line with this amendment, council supported after contact from the planning minister, council has also asked its planning staff to report on the possibility of greater flexibility for signage in other industrial areas; to determine whether a broader range of signage options should be considered in all business park areas. A fair playing field for all businesses needs to be retained. Council has replaced screening pine trees VicRoads removed around the site. Once these trees grow, they will provide further buffer as part of a 30-metre set back from the Surf Coast Highway that council has always sought. We remain committed to appropriate development in all business parks, so that these areas can include appropriate businesses that meet local needs and that so local amenity remains intact. Councillor Dean Webster, who acted in the mayoral role for two weeks recently and I have written letters in major local media to provide more information and clarification on this important issue.
the questions for enabling action: ‘What?...So what?... Now what?...’ which I have since used to run meetings and design presentations and newsletters. “The program has helped build my self confidence generally. I have also made some great friends and contacts around the shire and further afield.� Julia says Casuarina has given her the courage to start new projects, “like the Surf Coast Energy and Transition Torquay, both aimed at increasing awareness of a range of environmental issues such as climate change, peak oil, food security and sustainable design�. “Hopefully it has helped me to be more effective in the community groups I am involved in,� she says. Julia recommends Casuarina on many levels. “To be involved more deeply and effectively with your community – particularly is you have a project that you are passionate about; to help build confidence and skills to deal with a range of
situations; to gain skills that may help progress your career and just the fact that being involved with a group of like-minded people gives you inspiration and energy to help you achieve.� Julia is involved in the Surf &RDVW (QHUJ\ *URXS DQG Transition Torquay; which is a group of people motivated to act locally around the challenges of peak oil and climate change. “Transition Towns, is a world-wide movement which began in Ireland in 2004 aiming to build resilient, localised, low carbon, thriving and abundant communities,� Julia says. “It’s all about relocalisation through producing our own food, swapping with others and re-skilling the community to make and repair as well as reducing our reliance on fossils fuels through use of low carbon and efficient technologies.� A number of Transition Town groups operate in Surf Coast Shire including Torquay, Anglesea and /RUQH )RU PRUH RQ WKH Transition Town movement see www.transitiontowns. org
Supporting community groups
Community groups play an important role in making the Surf Coast a better place to live. Right now, council is working on three initiatives to help support our community groups now and into the future. Council’s Community Grants Programme is now open for applications until Friday, March 30. For a number of years the programme has helped a variety of community groups in diverse areas like the environment, education, family support, access and inclusion and arts and culture broaden their horizons. If your community group has a project that needs support, I urge you to organise your application. In Anglesea, council is supporting a gathering of community groups aimed at spreading the word on what services and assistance various groups can provide to you. The Anglesea Riverbank Gathering, which will also include entertainment and fun family activities, is being held from 11am on Saturday, March 27. For those wanting to get involved in community groups or programmes, council is also calling for applications for the Casuarina Project. More information on this important program that builds great skills in our community members is available on this page (below the column) or on-line at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/casuarina.htm
Aireys Open Mic success
It was great to see the vibrant performances and crowds at the second Aireys Open Mic Festival. With more than 100 local acts playing and no admission charge, this is a real home-grown festival; supported through local volunteers, local creativity and support from local businesses that recognise the value of creativity and local events. The massive growth is a credit to the organisers and volunteers that make it happen; as well as to the local talent among the many musicians we’re lucky to have living and playing on the Surf Coast.
Community Cabinet a chance to advocate
At the time of writing, preparations were being finalised for yesterday’s Community Cabinet meeting in Torquay; which provide community members and council with a chance to meet with State Government ministers, members and staff. Council put five regional priorities forward that we believe are projects of community, regional and state significance in a bid to secure Victorian Government support: • Winchelsea natural gas pipeline connection; which would significantly boost economic and residential opportunities in this growing town • A transport corridor between Armstrong Creek and Torquay, which has already been earmarked in state transport plans as well as Surf Coast Shire and City of Greater Geelong development plans • More support for bushfire preparation; especially given council bore much of the cost of implementing state-driven reforms on the Surf Coast, including Neighbourhood Safer Places – Places of Last Resort • Funding for a second storey on the proposed community sporting pavilion at the Community and Civic Precinct to make the facility more useful for sporting groups and the community • Funding for vital capital works to ensure environmental issues at the Bells Beach Surfing Reserve; one of Victoria’s most significant tourism attractions; can be addressed. Council welcomes the opportunity to put forward these important projects, which are vital for the Surf Coast. Warm regards,
Libby

Are you sure we don’t need traffic lights? BY NATHAN HALE TORQUAY’S notorious Beach Road intersection will not be getting traffic lights in the near future. VicRoads last week confirmed that while lights for one of the busiest intersections in the town had been considered, they were not a priority. This comes despite another accident at the intersection last week. “While a proposal for traffic signals at Beach Road has been developed for consideration in a future programme, it is currently a lower priority than other competing statewide proposals,� said Vince Punaro, acting regional director, south-western Victoria. There have been calls for traffic lights at the intersection at Beach Road and the Surf Coast Highway for years. During the Christmas school holiday period, the intersection is regarded as one of the worst in the shire – as Beach Road houses the Surfworld car park entry, visitor information centre, library and
McDonalds driveway. The future planning for traffic lights at intersections along the Surf Coast Highway comes on the back of the Armstrong Creek development. “As part of planning for the Armstrong Creek major activity centre and the east precinct, up to six new traffic signals may be required in the longer term on Surf Coast Highway between Boundary Road and Feehans Road, depending on the level and rate of development,� Punaro said. “These signals would be co-ordinated to allow free flowing movements along the Surf Coast Highway. “The need for additional traffic signals on Surf Coast Highway between Feehans Road and Grossmans Road will be dependent on future development abutting, or close to, Surf Coast Highway.� While VicRoads’ traffic light tally stands at six, the Surf Coast Times believes as many as 12 new sets of traffic lights could be installed between Grovedale and Torquay as part of the development of Armstrong Creek.

The installation of the drought-proof synthetic pitch, complete with competition standard lighting,

is a huge boost for local sport in the region. “Local sporting clubs are at the heart of our communities and by improving the quality of their facilities, we’re encouraging even more people to get healthy and active,� Brumby said. “This new multi-purpose training facility will provide the community with a new and innovative training and competition facility for all sports users throughout the region.
“The proposed new synthetic surface pitch will be a low-maintenance, drought-proof alternative to the Surf Coast Soccer club’s existing natural grass pitch and will be able to withstand more wear and tear.� Apart from the synthetic pitch, the civic precinct will boast two AFL-sized senior football grounds, soccer pitches and netball and basketball courts.
Crutchfield said the government would provide $300,000 towards the construction of a new pitch for the Surf Coast Football Club, while an additional $100,000 would also be provided for the installation of competition lighting. “The new civic precinct is something that council has long planned, and it is soon to come to fruition – it will be a recreational precinct that will do the Surf Coast proud,� he said.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I wish to clarify information circulating in the community about council’s recent decision and consequent planning amendment that enables council to consider signs larger than 10 square metres on a site at the West Coast Business Park, recently purchased by Bunnings. This amendment means that if Bunnings decides to submit a planning application, which it has not yet done, a request can be made for signage greater that 10m2. In the past, any business at the business park could submit for several 10m2 signs on the one site. Signage and its impact on the surrounds is an important issue for council and it, along with all other aspects of any planning application for the site, will be carefully scrutinised. Then a decision will be made in the context of council’s planning scheme which requires council to consider important issues such as neighbourhood character, zoning specification, setbacks, height, car parking, landscaping, location and impacts on local amenity. In line with this amendment, supported after contact from the planning minister, council has also asked its planning staff to review signage in all of its business park areas to determine whether a broader range of signage options should be introduced.
A fair playing field for all businesses needs to be retained. I want to reassure residents that the expected permit application will be subject to a thorough public process. Once lodged, the planning application will be advertised and made publicly available, before it is considered in an open meeting. People will have the opportunity to make submissions to council about the application, to be heard by council if desired and for either objectors or the applicant to appeal council’s decision at VCAT. As previously stated, no planning application has yet been received, so this process has not yet begun. I would also like to add that council had to consider this matter ‘in-camera’ last December because of discussions involved Bunnings’ confidential commercial contract negotiations. Council could have been subject to litigation if specific information had been made public. Council is committed to ensuring that the good intentions of the previous council, under which the Business Park was designed and approved, are realised. Yours faithfully Cr Libby Coker Mayor, Surf Coast Shire

Getting ready to Rip
5
BY NATHAN HALE THE FIRST steps in the mammoth task of preparing the infrastructure for the Rip Curl Pro began last week. Surfing Victoria and its contractors have begun the building and installation of structures for the event – which will be held this year from March 30 to April 10. The event – regarded as the jewel in the crown for many pros on the world tour – is again expected to draw tens of thousands of spectators from across the world. The importance of the event, however, will not overshadow the efforts of Surfing Victoria to ensure that local users of Bells Beach are not unduly inconvenienced. “Our biggest concern is public safety… that is our main focus,” said Surfing Victoria’s Pete Murphy. “We have had a lot of consultation with local surfers to see how the event impacts on them. “We try and leave as much of the car park open to visitors and surfers. “There will be traffic access right up until about a week before the event starts and pedestrian access pretty much until the event starts. “We have even constructed a purpose-built walkway – complete with carpet and fencing – which provides access to the stairway which gets you to the beach. “So you could say we have rolled out the red carpet for the surfers.” Murphy said Surfing Victoria has also worked closely with the indigenous community to ensure the event did not negatively impact any of the land used. “We have a very strong relationship with the indigenous community and we get them down and they do a cultural inspection,” he said. “We show them the event footprint and we walk the site together and do an inspection. It’s all about letting them know where we put our event structures and showing respect for their land. “We are doing the best we can to minimise the impact, but we are running the biggest and best professional surf contest in world and lot of work goes into it.” Joel Parkinson and Stephanie Gilmore will be back to defend their titles at Bells this year.

Investigation continues into Birregurra death WORKSAFE is investigating the death of a 54-year-old man at a Birregurra hotel last week. The man was delivering beer kegs to the hotel’s cellar, and WorkSafe is investigating the possibility of a carbon dioxide leak in the cellar. WorkSafe’s investigation is at an early stage, but acting executive director, Stan Krpan, said the death was a tragic reminder of the risks of working
in confined spaces with little ventilation. “With or without a gas leak or chemical exposure, limited means of entry and exit, poor air circulation, and working in confined spaces, is risky,” he said. “Employers need to understand these risks and develop appropriate controls. “This is an issue across industry, not just hotels.”
Inaugural surf conference provides tips from the best ALISTAIR Lawson and Tom Majer from Great Ocean Road Surf Tours were among more than 70 guests who attended the inaugural Green Room Conference in Coolangatta recently. The conference was put together by Surfing Australia, and it focused on surf coaching in the new millennium. Speakers included high profile personalities such as Martin Dunn, Australia’s junior team coach, and surfing legend Iain ‘Kanga’ Cairns and former world champion, Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew. “The conference was a fantastic experience, with well respected speakers talking about a number of different topics from breath hold techniques to competition surfing and great ways to help people improve with each surf,” Lawson said.

“We learnt some great things from every speaker and to hear Luke Egan, Joel Parkinson’s close friend and coach, talk about how he is working with Joel was amazing.” “To be able to come back to Torquay with all this information is invaluable. We are really pumped to start helping people take their surfing to the next level,” Majer said. Great Ocean Road Surf Tours are now running semi-private and private surf coaching courses for those surfers who would like to take their surfing to the next level. “There are a lot of people that really love to surf and with a little bit of video analysis they can make a few changes to surf at their best and have even more fun,” Lawson said.

Festival breaks new ground ORGANISERS are hailing the weekend’s Aireys Open Mic Festival as the best ever. With perfect weather, outstanding talent and a special guest appearance from Men At Work’s Colin Hay, the festival exceeded all expectations. It was estimated more than 4,000 people attended the festival – with more than 120 acts performing at various venues around
the town. Around 1,000 people packed the Aireys Inlet Hotel marquee on Sunday to eagerly await the identity of the special mystery guest – and they were not disappointed when Hay appeared on stage. The former Men At Work frontman mixed some of his solo catalogue with some well known favourites, such as Down Under, Be Good Johnny and Overkill.

Shadow Minister for Public Transport & Shadow Minister for Roads
A dream to chase Dear Editor, How exciting to read of the concept of an arts centre/ music ‘university’ in the Spring Creek area (Surf Coast Times, March 9). Sadly, we must all accept that this farmland WILL be developed. Now ideas need to be voiced to determine the most pleasing, environmentally gentle, locals and tourist friendly use for this beautiful area. To imagine the Vic College of the Arts decentralising to Spring Creek Torquay is fingertingling exciting – the ultimate maybe – but even a smaller ‘fish’ would be good to catch. Low density student and tutors accommodation could be used between semesters for much-needed tourist beds. Holiday live-in intensive courses and summer schools could be conducted, relevant support systems would employ firstly builders, later cleaners, caterers, coffee shops, etc. etc. and of course performances accessible to all. Torquay could then really be on the map – not only for surfing, but for fine arts and music tuition at the highest level – with performances in indoor and outdoor theatres. Bring on the dream, and I hope I live long enough to enjoy it! Sue Grant Lorne
Bunnings saga no surprise
Michael Crutchfield MP Member for South Barwon
For State Issues
PLEASE CONTACT 152 High Street, Belmont 3216
Ph:
5244 2288 Fax: 5244 2327
Dear Editor, As with many other residents I was also dismayed but not at all surprised by the ‘Bunnings Chapter’ of the West Coast Business Park saga. An earlier chapter went something like this: In early 2009 myself and other residents noticed that some planting had been undertaken in the vegetation buffer zone separating the industrial area from the highway. This was at the height of summer and, as expected, the majority of the plants did not survive. We approached the shire to inquire about follow up plantings and after three or four months of emails and phone calls we were told that they couldn’t get the developers to return to the site. In the end the new banksias and eucalyptus trees that you see were planted by the shire – presumably at the ratepayers’ expense. Further plantings (at whose expense? ) will still be needed to bring the buffer zone to anywhere near what was shown on the plans. How is it that developers can sign a document with detailed environmental plans and then not be held accountable when they fail to deliver? And why is it that so often the residents and not the relevant council officers are the ones to ask the hard questions? Answers anyone? Tony Smales Jan Juc
Do we need Bunnings? Authorised by M. Crutchfield, 152 High Street, Belmont, 3216
Dear Editor, I am concerned that the Surf Coast Shire is proceeding to approve special large signage for Bunnings to
establish an outlet in the Torquay Industrial Estate facing the highway. I would like to raise two issues: • I thought that the ‘Industrial Estate’ was, as the name implies, for industrial-based operations, not a ‘retail shopping precinct’. Signage is therefore only required to identify particular businesses rather that promote themselves to the retail shopper. I assume this was one of the reasons that the original signage was limited to 10sqm. • The Shire justified the location of the ‘Industrial Estate’ at the gateway to Torquay by promoting the fact that it would be shielded by a buffer zone of large trees, and the highway-facing buildings would be glass fronted and not of an industrial building style. Do we really need Bunnings that desperately when there is already one just up the road at Waurn Ponds? John Cockbill Torquay
Residents will not forget Dear Editor, Next time the Surf Coast Shire elections roll around I urge local residents to remember the councillors who voted to allow the desecration of the entry to our town. In relation to signage, stipulations are put in place to ensure the commercial area north of Torquay retains some type of subtlety. Planting to reduce the visual impact, a reasonable set back and restrictions on the size and amount of signs are all agreed upon to minimise the visual impact of the industrial development. But then big business wants to come to town and suddenly these restrictions are not worth the paper they are written on. Not only does Planning Minister Justin Madden agree to steamroll the whole process, but the mayor and a majority of our councillors also agree to ignore these sensible guidelines. No doubt our councillors will trot out some justification along the lines of the benefits to the community being worth breaking the rules, but really, if huge companies want to come to the Surf Coast they should simply have to abide by the same rules as everyone else. To councillors Hodge and Northeast, thanks for having the moral fibre to vote against this amendment. And not surprisingly, the silence from both Michael Crutchfield and Darren Cheeseman is deafening – but then again, no photo opportunity exists here, does it? Simon Hunnam Torquay
A lack of respect Dear Editor, The Surf Coast councillors, with the exception of Rose Hodge and Simon Northeast, have shown total disregard for Torquay businesses and community by allowing Bunnings to erect large signage at the gateway to our town. Apart from being discriminatory to other businesses, this decision is yet another instance of council failing to protect and serve the residents of Torquay. For those councillors who do not live here, we might be ‘just Torquay’, but to us Torquay is an iconic, unique Australian town that demands respect
Only 5 blocks remaining!
and protection, not closed door meetings and special deals with big business. F O’Connell Torquay
Make the signs bigger! Dear Editor, Regarding the Bunning’s sign proposal and the 30-metre plant screen, if it will make the town entrance look unattractive to tourists and make less of them come here, I say bigger the better! Adam Ferrari Jan Juc
They cannot be serious Dear Editor, City of Greater Geelong thinks the roads on the Lower Bluff are “deemed to be of a satisfactory condition”? Are the standards of COGG so low they seriously believe these roads are satisfactory? Are they really aware of their responsibilities under the Road Management Act? They ask residents with concerns regarding their local roads to phone COGG. Residents have done just that for years and to no avail. They are simply asking for road safety improvements… lower speed limits and better maintenance. How hard is that? With respect, Mr Martin, please don’t rely on advice provided to you and please don’t trot out this ‘standard response’ for every road safety issue on the Bellarine. You must check these roads yourself. They are truly appalling and a very real road safety issue. Karen Reiter St Leonards
Beach is such a mess Dear Editor, Most mornings I take a stroll down to the pier at St Leonards, as I stand at the foot of the pier, I look straight out across the beautiful bay, I shift my gaze to the stretch of picturesque beach to the left of the pier, then my eyes turn to the right and… oh, what a mess. Excessive piles of seaweed, clumped masses of weeds growing and inundating the fast disappearing sand, a jumbled bunch of discarded bluestones arranged in no real order, an old concrete pylon, further along I see a couple of old planks of driftwood, an old length of aluminium and some small, scattered items of household rubbish. I am aware that this issue has been raised by a member of the local progress association to council employees at least once (that I know of), and as at the time of writing no action has been taken by council. Nobody is asking for a complete makeover of the beach and foreshore, just a couple of items of earthmoving machinery and a tip truck for a few hours would be greatly appreciated by residents and visitors of this area. Part of the appeal of living and holidaying in St Leonards is that the beach has an almost rustic charm. We rely on council to keep the area looking its best. Wade Coleman St Leonards

SOLAR VENTILATION
BREAKTHROUGH
BY SARAH LAWRENCE
A NEW phenomenon in environmental installation is solar ventilation systems. Belmont’s Phil Baulch has started a business, New Earth Systems, which specialises in the high quality and innovative technology. Baulch used to work in the electrical trades industry and had a surf shop in Ocean Grove for 17 years. He fused the underlying knowledge of both to focus on a solar ventilation system called SolarVenti. It is a solar air collector which sends free, dry and warm air into a building and is not connected to the main electricity supply. “The technology comes from Denmark and has been sold there for 20 years where the average
hours of sun light are four and a half hours per day, and in Geelong we have an average of six, so that two kilowatts times six hours are 12kWh free energy a day,” he said. “There are no carbon emissions from it. It has a benign effect on our environment but on the house it can remove the toxic load in the air of houses such as formaldehydes from kitchens and volatile organic compounds from flame retardants that are things we buy such as furniture and carpets. “Those compounds have a corrosive effect on our health over time. This is a great way to heat our home while getting fresh air.” Baulch services the Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast areas. For more information, phone Phil Baulch on 0417 554 791 or email The new SolarVenti system helps to keep your house warm for a minimal cost. philbethechange@gmail.com
RYLOCK HAS YOU COVERED WITH the federal government pushing for reductions in greenhouse gases, more and more environmentally aware homebuilders are looking not only to better insulation, but also to double glazed windows and doors. “Almost all our clients come back to tell us the extra they spent on double glazing was the best money they ever spent,” said Rylock’s Murray Riccardi. “Not only is our service superior, but we are the undisputed market leader in aluminium double glazed windows. “Unfortunately, there are single pane glass products put onto the market that are purported to have high energy efficiency. However, none come close to the energy efficiency of double glazing.
“The air space between the two glasses of a double glazed panel is what reduces, if not eliminates, the conduction of the outside cold of winter, or heat of summer. “Double glazing also prevents condensation on the glass, and this is one of the biggest disadvantages of any single glazing, which has no thermal efficiency when condensation has formed on them. “Over the years we have supplied windows and doors for every type of house construction, from brick veneer, through all the various claddings such as corrugated zincalume or Colorbond, hardiplank and blue board, to straw bale, rammed earth and mud brick construction. “In all cases, the design of the windows has been what the client wanted, thereby creating a home as
individual as the owner. “In all these situations, windows are made to sizes to suit the building material or method, where ‘in stock’ or ‘standard sizes’ may not necessarily suit the building material or method. “Our product knowledge and attention to detail is the secret of our success, and we have been double glazing western Victoria for 25 years.” While you will pay a little more for Rylock’s superior quality and service, compared to the overall cost of a new home, it is a very small percentage. The Rylock range of 21st century windows and doors are on show at their purpose-built office/ factory at 61-63 Morgan Street, north Geelong, or visit the website, www.rylockwindowsgeelong. com.au

FREE TESTS TO SEE HOW GREEN YOUR HOME IS
SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula residents can now access free home sustainability assessments to find out how to save energy and water around the house and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The free assessments are funded by the Australian Government’s Green Loans Programme, which also funds interest-free green loans of up to $10,000 to make recommended improvements. Each year the average Australian household contributes 13 tonnes of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere – enough to fill more than 700 balloons
a day. Every household also draws an average of 73,000 buckets of water a year – that’s enough for around 12 baths a day. The Green Loans Programme involves three easy steps: • Step 1: Book your free home sustainability assessment • Step 2: Receive your tailored home sustainability report • Step 3: Choose which of the recommended actions you will take to improve your home. Your home sustainability assessment could identify actions as simple as
switching to energy efficient lights and replacing shower heads. It may also recommend how you can do more, such as installing water or energy saving products like rainwater tanks or solar panels. To take the next step and make the larger scale change, householders can apply to an approved financial institution for an interest-free green loan of up to $10,000 for up to four years. To receive a free home sustainability assessment, or to find out more, phone Matthew on 1300 771 145 or visit www.environment.gov.au/greenloans

Enjoy strawberry season VICTORIAN strawberries are now in season and the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times are offering readers the ideal way to enjoy this healthy super fruit. We have teamed up with the Victorian Strawberry Industry to offer six Simply Strawberries three-piece slicing sets. The sets – valued at $17.99 each – include a vibrant red, strawberry shaped colander, plus huller and slicer with stainless steel blades. Wash the strawberries in the colander, remove the hull with one pinch of the huller, and then make perfect slices using the strawberry-shaped slicer – it’s as easy as that! “Strawberries, like all berries, are one of nature’s super fruits, as they are high in antioxidants known as anthocyanins and ellagic acid that fight illness and slow the clock,� said accredited dietitian and food commentator Catherine Saxelby. “With vitamin C, fibre, folate (a B vitamin that helps prevent birth defects) and the mineral potassium, strawberries are full of goodness.
“Strawberries have a low GI so their carbohydrates are absorbed slowly. “They’re a healthy food that mums and nutritionists don’t have to force you to eat. “Strawberries have very few kilojoules making them an ideal dessert for anyone watching their weight. “A 125-gram punnet of strawberries supplies a tiny 100 kilojoules (24 calories).� For your chance to win one of these great sets, simply email editor@surfcoasttimes. com.au with the words ‘Strawberry Set’ in the subject line. Entries close Tuesday, April 6, and winners will be notified by email on Wednesday, April 7. You can find more information, plus recipes at www.vicstrawberry.com.au
THE RURAL Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) has welcomed the hospital funding reform package announced by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, saying it shows some promise in ensuring better funding systems for hospitals. It has warned, however, that any real benefits from the reforms will not be delivered in the bush until the government introduces major measures to combat the critical shortage of rural doctors and other health professionals. “While it is good to see a move towards the direct funding of hospitals by the federal government – a reform that should help remove the federal-state inefficiencies that have

Reform welcomed, but with a warning dogged hospital funding in this country for many decades – unless the rural health workforce shortage is addressed we will simply end up with ‘Yes Minister’ hospitals that are well funded but don’t have any doctors or nurses,� said RDAA president, Dr Nola Maxfield. “Without adequate numbers of doctors and other clinical staff on-theground in rural areas, rural hospital services simply cannot be delivered to the extent required – no matter what funding system is established. “In short, we need clinicians on seats – and lots of them – if we are to see the full delivery of benefits from these reforms.�

Lorne celebrates the role of women LORNE Community Hospital celebrated International Women’s Day last week by acknowledging the contributions made by the women within the organisation. Chief executive officer, Janelle Bryce, said that while there had been much media coverage lately about how the glass ceiling is still firmly in place for women in the workplace and how there remains an absence of women in leadership positions, her organisation was a proud example of this not occurring. “The membership of Lorne Community Hospital’s board of management is a healthy 50 per cent women, whose ages also cross several demographics,� Bryce said. “Four of the five women on the board live permanently in Surf Coast Shire, the other one is a regular holiday-maker here, and they bring a broad range of invaluable skills and experiences with them. “At an executive level in the hospital, our two most senior roles are performed by women, with Sue Morrissey being our director of clinical services, and myself the chief executive officer. We are ably supported by all the employees at the hospital.

“Diversity is a key priority for me in managing the hospital. “Of course, it’s not just about striving for a gender balance; it’s about people of different ages, values systems, ethnicities and sexual orientations being included, given opportunities and respected in the workplace so we can achieve the best outcomes.� The five female volunteer board members are Nola Ganly (Aireys Inlet), Jo Stevens (Aireys Inlet), Jane Fiske (Melbourne), Chloe Messner (Torquay) and Anthea Doran (Anglesea). “I joined the board after many years in health and human services management positions with the state government,� Ganly said. “The health and human services workforce generally is overwhelmingly female and women constitute the highest number of users of the services for their children and themselves. “However, although it’s changing slowly, men still hold most of the senior management and director positions. It is important that women add their voices and be heard in the health domain as it plays such a critical role in their lives and their families’ lives.� “The reason I joined the board was to be involved in the community on a different level,� said Messner.

Show your community spirit THE SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula are renowned for having some of the best beaches in the country. Now it is time for residents around the regions to show their community spirit by entering the annual Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Awards. The awards cover three categories – Clean Beaches; Sustainable Cities; and Tidy Towns-Sustainable Communities. With entries closing on March 26 for the Clean Beaches awards, local
councils, community and sporting groups, schools and individuals are all encouraged to enter. “These awards are a great opportunity for Victorians to showcase their community spirit and the pride people have in their local environment,” said environment and climate change minister, Gavin Jennings. The awards, now in their 28th year, recognise and celebrate the efforts of Victorians to improve, maintain and sustain their local environments. Local tourism is
another benefit, with finalists generally receiving strong coverage during the programme. “The awards programmes instil great pride and send out a strong signal about the value the community places on the environment,” Jennings said Entering the awards is as easy as visiting the Sustainability Victoria website and filling out the application form.

Torquay SLSC top of the state TORQUAY Surf Life Saving Club stamped itself as the best in the state after finishing as top pointscorer at the recent Victorian Lifesaving Championships held at Lakes Entrance. More than 2,000 competitors took to the sand and water in what was a historymaking carnival – being the first time the senior and junior titles had been held as a combined championship. Capping off a memorable carnival for Surf Coast clubs, Anglesea finished third – with Pt Leo splitting the two. One of the stars of the carnival for Torquay was teenage sensation Emily Bews, who dominated the under 17 division, winning the single ski race and board race before narrowly missing out on a third gold when she finished second in the open women’s single ski race. Anglesea’s charge towards overall third was led by the talented Joel Simondson, who capped off a perfect season by dominating his age group in the water events by taking home gold in the under 15 surf race, ironman race, tube race and board race. In what was an upset win in the ‘Dolphin’ open men’s ironman event, Pt Leo’s Haydn Tierney proved too strong for Hamish Hunter (Half Moon Bay SLSC) and Torquay’s Will Penney. “Lakes Entrance and the East Gippsland Shire Council went above and beyond in helping LSV create such an exciting and memorable championship,� Life Saving Victoria’s president, Mike Martin, said. “It was always going to be a huge ask having both junior and senior

Industry Info
Mackay joins the Hayden team BY SARAH LAWRENCE WITH more than 30 years in real estate, Wayne Mackay is one of Torquay’s newest yet most highly experienced agents. Since his beginnings at the Geelong Hayden’s office in 1980, Mackay has established himself as a well known and respected real estate agent in the region. He has taken over the new role of sales manager at the Hayden Real Estate Torquay office to assist the busy sales team as well as conducting auctions. “I’ve learned from the ground up. I started as office manager and then went into auctioneering within 12 months – back then there were not nearly as many auctions as there are now,” he said. “We were the first to actively promote residential auctions. “So once I got more involved in auctions after several years it led to being a sales manager and eventually a director of Hayden Real Estate in Geelong.” Since starting in Torquay, Mackay has been happy to bump into many familiar faces down the street. “I’ve always had a connection with Torquay. I played for many years with the Owen Yateman Band who was a

What happens when a property is passed in at auction? IN RECENT weeks, auction clearance rates have been at historical highs. The year-to-date clearance rate is 86 per cent, compared to 73 per cent this time last year and in 2008. REIV members report that attendances and competition at auction is very strong, and, as such, it is timely to offer some tips about the auction process. Arrive in sufficient time beforehand for a final walk-through of the property and to allow yourself time to check the contract, vendor’s statement, information about auctions and the auction rules, which will all be on display. Pay particular attention to the rules. They tell you how the auction will be conducted. One of the rules especially important to be aware of is if the reserve is not met and the property is passed in. If the auctioneer passes in the property below the reserve price, the owner will first negotiate with the highest bidder. If you have participated in the bidding or have been sitting back watching, and the auctioneer announces the property is going to be passed in, it is a good strategy at this point to bid up to obtain the right to first negotiate. Securing the right to first negotiate does not cost anything and you have created a contract between yourself and the owner. Your contract comes into existence the moment the auctioneer concludes the auction by passing in the property. Once the property’s passed in, it is too late to shout out a bid.
Wayne Mackay is Hayden Real Estate Torquay’s newest member, bringing a wealth of experience to the office.

well known local identity in fishing, surfing and music,” Mackay said. “From that I’ve gotten to know a lot of people in the community. I have also seen a lot of familiar faces in Torquay that have come from Geelong to live here.” During his career Mackay has conducted thousands of auctions, and he admits to still enjoying the experience. “To do auctions you need to enjoy them as well as promote the property and yourself on behalf of the community,” he said. “To auction you have to feel comfortable and confident to get the best results plus have a good rapport between vendors and buyers. “An auction also must be organised well in advance so that information is available to prospective buyers to enable them to confidently assess the property and prepare them for bidding.” Mackay is also looking forward to working in a market with a coastal vibe. “To date, I’ve seen Geelong as a very aggressive and competitive market,” he said. “While the Torquay market is still very competitive, it certainly seems to have a more relaxed nature about it.” When not at work Mackay plays in two Geelong bands as well as spending time with his wife, Leigh, and his two grandchildren.

Home Owners and Investors
Dear Home Owner/Investor, Property values on the Surf Coast and particularly Torquay and Jan Juc have risen dramatically in recent times. Residents we have spoken to are most interested to know the current value of their properties as this allows them to pursue other financial initiatives or to ensure that their homes are adequately insured. To assist our local residents we are conducting an exciting new initiative. Over the next three (3) months we will be offering our opinion on the value of every home in the area. Each appraisal will only take approximately 10-15 minutes, as we hope to complete one street per day.
What you will receive
How do you participate?  ��� �   €‚  � € 0437 882 088 or 5261 2101 – patrickh@hayden.com.au Strict confidentiality will be adhered to for each property. We look forward to your participation and to meeting with you.

WRECK OF THE INVERLOCHY: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 While they were contemplating their drying clothes before a huge fire, a shout that the lifeboat had come into view brought them all rushing out excitedly, then on sighting their companions they burst into wild cheering and the quiet spot re-echoed to sounds never there heard before or since. It was then observed that they were headed straight for the bluff (Point Flinders), and that unless they immediately changed their course, they would even yet be doomed when on the point of rescue. To induce them to do this, Mr Fred Hodges pointed to the breakers and fired four shots into the air, this signal not being understood, he waved a towel, but in vain. So Mr Dick Robertson (Geelong Solicitor) kicked off his shoes flung off his coat, and waded out, then swam 50 yards to the boat, which he clambered aboard. With the course changed, the ‘Inverlochy’ survivors were guided by the boat piloted by Brown and Lucknow, fishermen, around the Bluff to the mouth of the Barwon River, and they came ashore at the pier.

Take a trip around the world BY NATHAN HALE IF AN eclectic mix of performers and music is your idea of an ideal gig, then next week’s Apollo Bay Music Festival has the band for you. Tijuana Cartel is a blend of musicians whose influences range from funk to hip hop to reggae to the Middle Eastern flavours of the sub-continent to the dance venues of London. It’s akin to a round-the-world trip in one gig – and you can take it all in at the festival – which runs from Friday, March 26 to Sunday, March 28. With such variances in musical tastes, Tijuana Cartel is sure to provide entertainment for all. It all started when Paul George and Carey O’Sullivan teamed up in school to start belting out sounds. Along the way they have continued to ‘accumulate’ band members – with the tally now standing at five. “Carey and I have been going since the age of about 12, but along the way we have accumulated people,” George said. “One night we were playing at a gig and a girl was there with her trumpet. “After a while her friend said she was really good and so we thought: ‘Let’s get her on stage for one song’. “As it turned out she stayed on for the rest of the set and she is still with us now.” Despite spending the majority of their time gigging all around Australia of late, the band has managed to retain its enthusiasm for live performances.
Although they have never played the Apollo Bay Music Festival, George said it has always been a place they have had on their ‘to-do list’. They are also looking forward to exploring other bands and enjoying the laidback atmosphere Apollo Bay brings. “There are pros and cons of playing festivals and of doing gigs by yourself, but we are really looking forward to it,” George said “We never really get the chance to check out that many acts as we are always playing ourselves. “And I have just checked out the line-up for the festival and it looks really cool… so I am looking forward to seeing the bands and seeing what is on offer.” Although they have always enjoyed making music, the band had been content to concentrate more on the music side rather than the performance side. This, however, has changed in recent months as they grow more and more comfortable on stage and confidence in their performances continues to grow. “We made the decision to make more of our performances,” George said. “We have been more musicians than performers, but we have learned a lot about how to perform on stage and how to react to crowds. “Now I think we are at the stage where we are more confident in our ability and our performances are where people want to come and party and get up and dance.” For more information and tickets on the festival, visit www. apollobaymusicfestival.com

I HAVE really been getting into Pinot Gris of late. What, with its inherent richness, texture and opulent aromas it can make for heady drinking indeed. All three wines featured below are excellent examples that deserve a look in‌ if you’re tiring of summer and acidic Sauvignon Blanc, maybe it’s time to play with a new variety‌ don’t you agree?
Waihopai Marlborough Pinot Gris 2009 ($15) OOhh, I like this! Discovered this at the recent New Zealand Wine Show and was gob smacked at the quality v price ratio‌ this really over-delivers with beautiful balance, texture, aroma and purity of fruit care off winemaker extraordinaire Ant Moore. Marlborough Pinot Gris continues to gather momentum in the shade of the ‘sav-alanche’. I suggest you get on board!
Coobara Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2009 ($20) Once again, those attributes of fresh, vibrant pear and lychee aromas, beautiful balance and rich textural fruit rear their heads. Weight is so important and I think that this really shows what Pinot Gris from Adelaide Hills is all about – incredible complexity, beautiful palate weight, and a long, fine finish. For the price, an absolute steal!
Tim Adams Clare Valley Pinot Gris 2009 ($20) The old veteran shows he knows a thing or two about winemaking with this release. A core of vibrant, minerally fruit provides backbone and structure with precision balance and lychee flavours to the fore. I like it and the incredible 2009 vintage lends an added zest to the whole makeup. If you’ve tried Tim Adams in the past, you’ll know just how good this wine is‌ why not do yourself a favour, I say.
Music legend to visit the Bellarine ONE OF the most influential performers from the United States will take to the stage at the Bellarine’s Harvester Moon on Friday night. New York City’s Josh White Jr – the son of legendary musician Josh White – and a household name in his own right, is making a special one-off appearance. A master of folk, blues and jazz, White Jr is in the country en-route to the Apollo Bay and Byron Bay Music Festivals. This year White Jr is celebrating his 65th anniversary in show business, beginning as a child star performing and recording with his legendary father, who was an original Carolina Piedmont blues player who pioneered the blues and spirituals to New York’s folk, nightclub, Broadway and concert stages in the 1930s and ’40s. White Jr carries forward the immense musical and social activist legacy of his father and can take you back to the times when House of the Rising Sun, Strange Fruit, One Meatball and The House I Live In became popular songs to the masses. He has also shared the stage with such luminaries as Leadbelly, Joe Louis, Woody Guthrie, Billie Holiday, Pete Seeger and Burl Ives. Harvester Moon has put together a special package for the evening, which includes a threecourse meal and the show for $52, with dinner starting at 7pm. Harvester Moon is situated at 2320 Portarlington Road, Bellarine (near Bellarine Estate). For more information, phone 5259 3200.

FIG JAM… it’s a lot more than just an acronym I HAVE some wicked friends who make me chuckle over the acronym of fig jam… but I won’t go into that right now. What I do want to do is entice you to get your hands on some figs – and quick! They are available now and in many ways they are one of the truly seasonal foods that we should savour for the short time they are around. From late summer into early autumn these plump, versatile and voluptuous fruits will reward you in both sweet and savoury dishes. Strictly speaking the fig (botanically) is not a single fruit, but hundreds of little fruits that most people regard as seeds. They originated in Asia Minor, and were grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Baskets of them have been found in Egyptian tombs and it is said that the asp, which killed Cleopatra, was brought in concealed in a bucket of figs. The fig has been laden with symbolism for many centuries; we associate the leaves of the tree with prudery since Eve judiciously used
the leaves to veil Adam’s and her own genitalia. The fig is often also associated with fertility, and the tree is said to have provided shelter for Romulus and Remus as they were suckled by the she-wolf and ancient Rome honoured it with annual sacrifices. In Africa, the white latex exuded by the tree was used in ointments to guard against sterility and to encourage lactation. The word fig came to be used by Shakespeare as a metaphor to triviality (in Othello, Iago exclaims “Virtue! A fig!”) and, to this day we often hear someone say “I couldn’t give a fig!”. Meanwhile, the tree under which Buddha was said to have mediated his way to perfect knowledge is considered sacred, symbolising understanding and knowledge. Fresh figs are truly one of the great pleasures of autumn, and are so versatile. Choose ones that are just beginning to show a small split in their skin…a sign indicating their ripeness. They are best kept away from the refrigerator and hence purchased close to the time you are going to devour them.
Favourite fig recipes One of my favourite flavour combinations is to make bite-sized morsels of fresh fig, wiped with a smear of homemade pesto, wrapped in tissuethin slices of prosciutto. These make a wonderful addition to an antipasta platter, or with pre-dinner drinks. Simply wash the fruit, do not peel, and cut into sixths or eighths depending on the size of the fig – and the mouth you are going to pop it in to. Instead of pesto, use a tiny amount of a creamy blue cheese, or bocconcini – both flavours work well with the sweetness of the fig and saltiness of the air-cured ham.
Add some ginger Figs love ginger, so if you are making fig jam, you could enliven the taste by using a little grated fresh ginger, or some glace (preserved) ginger. Using equal quantities of figs and sugar to make the jam, you could even add some roasted almonds that have been roughly chopped, for extra crunch. Figs definitely come into their own as the perfect way to finish a dinner party meal. Cut figs in half, sprinkle with caster sugar and grill under high heat – being careful not to burn them, then serve with vanilla ice-cream.
Dried figs Dried figs soaked in port and cooked separately were used by the Romans as an accompaniment to game and pork dishes. Hence, fresh figs marinated in port and cooked slowly to a reduction are a great accompaniment for duck breasts, which have been marinated in red wine, a bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, some garlic and the zest of an orange.
Poached figs Alternatively, poach figs in dessert wine or a lively sauterne, allowing the fruit to cool in the liquid, then serve at room temperature with finely shredded mint and a crumbly topping of crushed toasted almonds and pistachio nuts. Another way to finish a superb dinner would be to so simply feed your dining partner sensually with just a fig – fresh, ripe and luscious.

Artists on display BY SARAH LAWRENCE THE FLAIR and creativity of Bellarine locals will be showcased this weekend at the Barwon Heads Art Show. Now in its eighth year, the show will be held on Friday and Saturday at Barwon Heads Senior Citizens’ Hall, with more than 150 paintings on exhibit. Local artists featured will include Carolyn Coope, Faye McCartney, Lidi Korndorsser,
Fay Greaves, and Betty White. According to organiser, Dorothy Van Dorp, the show is arranged with pride and care for the paintings. Only paintings of a professional standard are presented. “Both at the hall and on the foreshore we present the art show with a professional hanging the paintings,� Van Dorp said. “It is not just placing each painting on a hook, each painting
has to complement the painting which is hanging next to it. All this takes time and patience‌ it is all worth it in the end.â€? On Sunday, the show moves to the foreshore in conjunction with the Festival of the Sea. “The art show on the foreshore looks great as it is under marquees and the public just walks around and quite often they see something they like from a distance and walk over to have a closer look and

Top acts head to Barwon Heads
Tuesday 16 March 2010
SOME of Australia’s top music artists are heading to Barwon Heads for this weekend’s Festival of the Sea. The festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will offer visitors an eclectic mix of jazz, soul, hip hop, rock, folk and world music. Highlights include Falls Festival favourite, The Go-Set, evocative rock pioneer Nick Barker and local ARIA award winner Mick Thomas. Visitors can also expect a number of internationally acclaimed artists, including Sabrina and the Red Vans, Rory Ellis and Rob Sawyer,
as well as some of Australia’s finest vocalists, including The The Stutterers, Sally and Wally and Bamboozle. Festival president, David Littleton, said the festival would maintain its strong focus on arts and the environment, however, the music line up would also be a major drawcard. Organisers are promising a bumper event to celebrate the 10-year milestone. On Saturday, a Sk8 Jam will be held at the Village Park, featuring a skating competition and live music. A 10th birthday picnic
featuring easy listening jazz will light up the foreshore on the Saturday evening. Then on the Sunday, live bands will perform at the Village Park near the foreshore in Barwon Heads, and there will also be kids’ activities, food, wine, market stalls and displays. A festival highlight will be the annual duck race, which will see a thousand ducks dropped from the Barwon Heads Bridge. The Festival of the Sea is free to attend. For more information visit www.barwonheads.net
Visit the dinosaur petting zoo CENTRAL Geelong is giving children – and adults – the opportunity to get up close and personal with dinosaurs these Easter school holidays.

Due to increased demand for space on our What’s Happening page, all events on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula must now be submitted on a weekly basis for consideration. Guidelines have been introduced to ensure that events advertised are community orientated, and not ones purely serving business purposes. Any event that is not organised with the assistance, or through, a community centre, or any event which appears to be a commercially run business, will not appear in the column.

Notice Concerning Assessment of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs for the National Heritage List Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Heritage List was established in 2004 under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) to recognise and protect places of outstanding heritage value to the nation. The Australian Heritage Council is currently assessing whether the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs meets any of the National Heritage criteria. The Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs is located on the west coast of Victoria. The Council has conducted its preliminary consideration and has determined that it might have one or more National Heritage values. These relate to its historic value, its construction as a memorial road and scenic coastal drive and its geomorphological values. The Council has also found it may have aesthetic and social values and association with a number of significant people. The Council recognises the importance of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs to the communities in the region. It invites members of the community to visit the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for information about the assessment of the Great Ocean Road and Scenic Environs and the National Heritage List. The proposed boundary for the listing takes in primarily Crown land adjacent to the Great Ocean Road. Owners and occupiers of land included in the proposed boundary will be notified by letter, in accordance with section 324JH of the EPBC Act.

MAR 16 -MAR 22 2010 The focus is still on communication this week, as you brush up on your social small-talk and diplomacy skills. You’re likely to slip into worry-wart mode on Friday, as Saturn increases your stress levels – and your tendency to criticize others. If you can’t say something positive, then don’t say anything at all!
Rams can be selfish souls but this week’s New Moon stimulates your helpful side and encourages you to do good deeds and assist others (in unconventional ways). You’re also in the mood to have fun with children as your inner child comes out to play. Pay close attention to your dreams – are they trying to tell you something?
You love your home, and all the cosy comforts it provides. But it’s time to crawl out of your Crab cave and explore the big wide world outside your door. No side-stepping – be a confident Cancer and face challenges head-on! Your quote for the week is from birthday great David Livingstone “I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.”
Harmony-loving Librans feel at home during the equinoxes – in March and September – when day are night are of equal length. So this weekend you’ll be busy finding ways to attain a better life/work balance. Getting the ratio right between what you want and what others need is also a constant juggling act but, if anyone can do it, it’s you!
Are you stuck in a rut? The New Moon urges you to dream up some exciting scenarios for the coming year. Don’t play it too safe – set goals and challenges that stretch you in dynamic new directions. You have much to offer in a group situation, as your Taurean tenacity and practical approach inspire others to get to work.
For lusty Lions, a revamp is due in the areas of sex or money. Perhaps a passionate new relationship – or a revitalised old one? Financial partnerships are favoured, as long as you are forward-thinking and flexible. The union of the Sun and Uranus means you’ll stand out in the crowd even more than usual so make the most of it and shine!
Scorpio is a sign of extremes and you have an all-or-nothing approach to life. This weekend is the Equinox (autumn in the southern hemisphere, and spring in the northern hemisphere) when day and night are of equal length. So it’s the perfect time to strive to bring more moderation, harmony and balance into your hectic life.
The Sun and Uranus (your ruling planet) join forces in your money zone, which sees you at your innovative, interesting best – and impulsive worst. By all means take exciting risks but make sure they are calculated ones. Your quote for the week comes from birthday great Charlotte Bronte “Look twice before you leap.”
With the New Moon, Jupiter and Uranus stirring up your career zone, it’s the best time in the last 12 years to plan professional projects, apply for a new job, take on a second job – or completely change vocation. Your motto for the week? “Make the most of your versatility, keep your options open, and multi-task like a pro!”
The universe is zeroing in on one-to-one relationships. Whether they are romantic, platonic or business partnerships, it’s time to reboot old patterns of relating and communicate in creative ways. Single Virgos – someone unusual is about to rock your world! On Friday and Saturday, friends and finances are a messy mix.
You’re in a happy, mellow mood this week as you tackle domestic duties or work responsibilities with a spring in your step, and a sunny Sagittarian smile. It’s time to ring in some changes on the home front! Over the coming year you’ll take off your blinkers and start to see a family member in a brand new light.
This week’s annual New Moon in Pisces is the best time of the year to break old habits and set inspiring goals for the future. It’s a magical time of release and renewal, as you learn from your mistakes, wipe the slate clean, and start all over again. “No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.” (Buddha)

WITH ANGLESEA BOWLS CLUB
THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club men ended their pennant season with two of their three teams finishing in the four. The qualifying semi-finals were played on Saturday and Sunday, March 6 and 7, under very wet conditions. Unfortunately both Anglesea teams were beaten on the day. The Anglesea ladies from Division 4 will play their grand final today (March 16). Good luck girls. You can do it. The ladies were victors of the annual Anglesea v Torquay Shield held last month, winning by 18 shots. On Monday, March 8, the club’s Presidents’ Day was held, where members get to express their gratitude to the various presidents – Jim Reed, Gerard Petrie and Marcia Kemp. More than 60 bowlers participated in two games in perfect sunny conditions – the advantage of having synthetic greens. The winners of the day were: M Wapling, N Clarke, R Berrill and the runners up were C Keet, A McPherson and K Bird. Congratulations to the winners of this season’s club’s ladies triple event: D Newton, J Wilson, C Koster. The next Chicken Run/Members’ Draw/ BBQ will be held on Friday, March 19. For catering purposes, please indicate your intention to attend the barbecue early in the week. Also, the latest time to put your name down to bowl is 1.30pm Friday for a 3pm start. Easter is fast approaching, and so too is our sponsored Mixed Four Player Medley, scheduled for a 10am start on Easter Saturday (April 3). Four games will be played consisting of three-bowl Men’s Pairs, three-bowl Ladies’ Pairs, Mixed Fours and three-bowl Mixed Pairs. $28 per team (two ladies and two gents). BYO Lunch. Entry forms to be sent to Lew Wilson, Anglesea Bowling Club, PO Box 52, Anglesea 3230.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB Wins on the road It was a week with more wins by Anglesea ladies away from the course. Tuesday was the Joyce Graham Cup challenge at Torquay, and in the traditional format of 11 matches, Anglesea was successful in eight of them, winning the Cup for another year. The Sunday pennant team had their second win of the season at 13th Beach against Portarlington, giving them two wins from two outings. For the Otway team, it was a narrow 3/2 loss to Colac at East Geelong.

Midweek results The weather provided an interesting interlude for many players on Monday. A few waited out the brief storm, while
TORQUAY GOLF CLUB What a difference a week can make. Last week we reported the course was under water on the previous Friday night. It turned out more than 75mm of rain fell on the course.

Herbert Hertaeg with 44 pts took out div 2 from Darren Looker 42 pts. In div 3 the winner was Michael Ryan with 38 pts on c/b from Lawrence. NTP’s went to Philip Smith, Barry Leith and Donald Holmes. Jackpot was won by John Brunt.

Saturday results The storm clouds and lightning that caused last Saturday’s monthly medal
many retired to the bar, or like me, didn’t worry about starting. Calvin Robbins and David Griffiths waited for the worst to clear before heading off and were rewarded with wins in A Grade and C Grade respectively. David’s score was a few less than Calvin’s 37 points. Mickey Hudson had 36 points to win B Grade. For the ladies, Gloria Hodgkison won with 34 points. June and Ron Washington nearly cleaned up on all the NTPs, just leaving the 6th to Rose Jakobi. The first of the monthly medal competitions for the week was played on Wednesday, and Ross Duff and Paul Edgley both had nett 69 and will playoff in April. Ross won A Grade, Paul won B Grade and Alan Hendrie won C Grade with nett 72. NTPs for the day were Peter Calvert, Peter Gowans, Noel Newman and Andrew Aldous.
We did get a result in the March medal contest for the ladies on Thursday. Ann Stokes had a sizzling round of nett 66 to win Div 2 and the medal by five shots from Ros Holland on nett 71. Vida Brenner had the best gross score and won Div 1, and Irena Kapala won Div 3 with nett 77. Stefi Bates won the play-off for the February medal and Ros Holland won the putting with only 25 putts for her round. NTPs were Margot Parton, Valda Connelly, Maralyn Cross and Ann Stokes.
event to be abandoned were replaced by clear sunny windless conditions. That meant ideal conditions for good scores which were produced. In div 1 Paul Byron won with 74 and also the net with 64 from Andrew Ranner 68. John Laidlaw also with net 64 won div 2 from Peter Kaan 66. Barry Cooper won div 3 with 65 from Doug McGregor 66. Don Forsyth with 61 had the score of the day and won div 4 from Peter Gorfine who had 68. Paul Byron, John Laidlaw and Don Forsyth will play off for the monthly medal next month. The junior quarterly medal was won by Alex Harvey who had a net 68. NTP’s went to Rod Papworth, Tyson Gill and Daryl Hilton. Rick McNamara took out the jackpot. For the Saturday ladies, Lyn Brady won with a net 74 from Eleanor Douglas net 76. Lyn Brady also took out the NTP on the 13th.
From the ladies room While everyone at home battled rain, hail and lightening I was playing in warm and sunny Port Fairy, amazed that, apart from a bit of drizzle, we missed out on all the celestial activity. The course down there is an absolute gem and I played with one of the locals and it was medal day. He was off 11 and parred the course on the first nine had a bit of trouble on the back but still finished with a very nice 76. The second round of the Loader Trophy was held last week and again excellent results were posted. Andrew Groom and Julie Rogers topped the list with 47 points; you can check the progress chart up on the board. The first round of the 2010 Betty Kernot event gets under way this week Mandy Buckley and Wendy Johnston will be attempting to repeat their win of last year and our second team of Ainsley
Weekend competitions Conditions were perfect for good scores on Saturday. Suellen Eskrigge and Marg Hales started early and seemed to have learned a bit from the ladies golf we’ve been seeing on TV. Suellen had the best score of the day

with 6 up winning Div 2 and Marg Hales had 3 up to win Div 1. Liz Dickens won Div 3 with 1 up. For the men, Geordie Thoms recorded the best score with 5 up winning B Grade. Russell Murfitt won A Grade with 3 up on a c/b from Col Russell and Graeme Compton won C Grade with 2 up on a c/b from Alan Hendrie. NTPs were Keith Turner, John Mooney, Frank Fowler and Adam Kennedy. The Sunday competition was an abbreviated affair as the course was only available for a shotgun start at 7.30am. Only 17 players got up early and the winners were Wally Karnilowicz with 39 points and Jane Grutzner with 37 points. Adam Kennedy had an eagle on the 18th and the NTPs were Helen Andersen, Adam, Richard Grutzner, and Wally. And for those concerned, we will be back to normal competition next Sunday.
McCallum and Ros Lewis will be doing their best to wrest the trophy from them. Good luck to both teams. Joyce Graham Cup We welcomed the Anglesea girls for the Joyce Graham Cup. This event inaugurated to foster a spirit of harmony between the two clubs is always a great day and we had high hopes of a win on home soil but sadly this was not to be as Rhelma Bartlett led her team to another victory. Congratulations to the girls in green. Division’s winners this week were Rosie Jones, Kathy Simpson, Gayle Hilton and Barb Stutchbury. NTP’s went to Sandra Duff, Carole Mayne and Libby Fuller. Micha and Gwen Hand won the jackpots. Congratulations to Lorna Cook who took out the ladies division of the Ken Sizer Veterans on Friday with 44 points.

restrictions exist. Whiting are limited to 20 per person, including King George, but remember King George have a minimum size of 27-centimetre. Snapper are limited to a 10-bag limit with only three to be equal to or exceeding the 40cm length. The rivers are also producing some very nice bream, with catches exceeding 30cm in size becoming a much more frequent event. Good-sizes salmon catches are also continuing from the beaches, while Lorne pier is also said to be producing squid in numbers. The most popular baits at the moment seem to be baby bottle squid, blue and white bait as well as pilchards. Reports of elephant fish being taken on baby bottle squid have occurred on more than one occasion. To ensure you are fully aware of all the regulations as to bag limits and size limits, make sure you get a copy of the 2010 fishing guide, which is available at all good tackle stores

THE PAST week has been interesting to say the least, with heavy rains and flooding of our water systems churning up the areas and providing plenty of feed for the fish. The result of this is that the fish are certainly on the bite. Over the weekend we received numerous reports of catches from the rivers and surf – from Queenscliff through to Apollo Bay the reports just kept coming in. Rock fishing is very productive with pinkies, whiting and salmon just a taster of some of the fish that have been caught. Those out in boats are also reporting good catches, with garfish, whiting, shark, snapper and couta all being taken. The good news is that elephant fish are now beginning to make an appearance. The important thing to remember that if you are after elephant fish, the catch limit is now only one per person, so keep that in mind if you are lucky enough to get on to them; no size
