FREE WEEKL WEEKLY

$110M WIN New hospital and stage 4C of the ring road highlight 2010 State Budget projects for the Surf Coast

BY NATHAN HALE RESIDENTS throughout the Surf Coast will benefit from multi-million dollar health and infrastructre projects announced in last week’s State Budget. More than $110million will be ploughed into two major projects which will have huge impacts on the community throughout the Surf Coast Shire. Headlining the cash splash from this year’s budget is $33.6million for a new hospital. The hospital has been earmarked for the impending Armstrong Creek development, which means – once completed – vital health services will be available within a 15-minute drive from Torquay and around 30 minutes from Anglesea. The new hospital will mean those needing emergency services will no longer need to battle central Geelong traffic. State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield – who was last week announced as chair of the committee which will oversee the establishment of the new hospital – said it is a huge boost for the region. “This announcement is great news for families living in this great part of our state,� he said. “The new hospital will ensure families in our region have access to the very best healthcare for generations to come. “I look forward to working with the community to progressing this project.� The other major budget announcement came in the shape of $76.9million to construct stage 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The link will see 4C leave Anglesea Road and follow the existing railway line through the new Armstrong Creek development before joining the Surf Coast Highway. The new section will join the Surf Coast Highway just south of the railway line at Grovedale, while those looking to travel the

Great Ocean Road will be able to continue on Anglesea Road. Other budget highlights for the Surf Coast include: • An additional $2,000 for first-time, new home buyers in the region – bringing the total assistant to $26,500 • More police throughout the region as part of a statewide initiative • A boost to fire preparation and emergency responses • A $600,000 boost to Lifesaving Victoria to help and support local clubs As part of the $136.6million fire preparation injection, $500,000 will be used to support local councils further develop Neighbourhood Safer Places. While welcoming the support, Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, said the government needed to make council support a priority in this instance. “We are pleased the government has announced more support for councils to establish Neighbourhood Safer Places,â€? she said. “However, council committed more than $230,000 of its own funds on a range of fire preparation activities on public and privately owned land with only $8,000 contributed by the government. “A greater government contribution to vegetation management is required to ensure residents remain safe during the fire season. “Given the importance of tourism to the Victorian economy and the obvious community safety imperative, increased support for fire preparation on the Surf Coast is in the whole state’s interest. “We are continuing to seek more support from the Victorian government to ensure we can be better prepared to protect residents and visitors.â€?

WITH this week being National Volunteers Week, it’s timely and important to acknowledge the huge contribution volunteers make to our community. In our communities more than most, volunteers’ contributions are vital. Census data shows nearly one-in-four Surf Coast Shire residents actively give of their time; a rate above the national average. This figure of course does not include non-permanent residents who also volunteer to help run services in our municipality. Reflecting on the efforts of volunteers throughout our shire over the last 12 months magnifies the importance of their contribution. The fact is, from the coast through the hinterland areas of our shire, there is an array of services and events that simply wouldn’t happen without the dedicated volunteers who give of their time, passion, expertise and good will. On the Surf Coast, volunteers deliver meals, prepare our region for emergencies, save lives in the surf, improve our environment, run sporting clubs and competitions. Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet likeminded people, to learn and practice skills and to experience the joy of giving. This week, councillors and I will be attending functions in Torquay, Deans Marsh and Winchelsea. But throughout the whole year, seeing the work of volunteers gives us all great inspiration and faith in the strength of our communities. On behalf of council, I extend a warm thank you to all volunteers for making the Surf Coast a better place to live. Anyone interested in exploring volunteering opportunities on the Surf Coast can contact Janine Shelley at Surf Coast Shire Council on 5261 0587 or volunteer@surfcoast.vic.gov.au.

Bellbrae conversations

Last week it was fabulous to join parents and children at the Lorne Kindergarten for its 2010 Mother’s Day celebration. The day provided a great opportunity to discuss a range of issues with the strong kindergarten community and to announce a community grant the kindergarten has received to purchase a number of new chairs. It was lovely to see the nurturing environment the Lorne Kindergarten committee and staff have developed. I congratulate everyone involved with the kindergarten’s growth and for putting on a great day. On Monday, council presented its first round of community grants for 2010, supporting 19 community groups. I congratulate all recipients and look forward to the community reaping the benefits of their great work.

another 3,590 kindergarten places and investing $14m in children’s services across the state all have potentially great benefits in growing municipalities like Surf Cosat Shire. Council anticipates the four-year-old population in our municipality will grow by 155 by 2031; creating extra demand for kinder places that we see the state’s investment helping to meet. Similarly, a state-funded youth worker to help spearhead our response to school leavers’ celebrations in Torquay and Lorne will free up a significant amount of shire resources that we can now dedicate to providing more opportunities for local young people. Extra funding of $203m for environmental initiatives over five years also has the potential to make important contributions to a number of environmentally significant areas of the Surf Coast. For example, council’s draft Bells Beach Coastal Management Plan, now on exhibition, details more than $5m in capital infrastructure required to protect the environmental value of this area. Council remains concerned about the lack of a freeflowing link from Anglesea Road and the current end of the Geelong Ring Road, to Torquay. The 4C ring road extension, while important for the Armstrong Creek growth area, will not deliver this link for the Surf Coast. We also hope to see more financial support from the State Government to support fire preparations on the Surf Coast. Financial support for these activities in high risk areas of Victoria will have state-wide benefits. The increasing cost of protecting our communities and our summer visitors from the risk of bushfire must better met by the state; and we will continue to discuss this issue.

State budget

Warm regards,

Earlier this month it was great to join council staff at the Bellbrae Mayfair for a session of council conversations. The chats we had with residents highlighted a great response to the draft Bellbrae Structure Plan, which council now has on exhibition. Council conversations this year is happening as part of public gatherings in the shire, giving residents a chance to discuss issues of interest with councillors and officers in an informal, relaxed setting. The next session will be held at the Aireys community market on Sunday, June 13. We would love to see you there.

Celebrating Mother’s Day at Lorne Kindergarten

Following the release of the State Budget last week, I was pleased to meet with Premier John Brumby and Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, to discuss a range of local issues. There are a number of initiatives in the state budget that will bring direct benefits to the Surf Coast. Funding

Bells Beach Surfing Reserve Coastal Management Plan WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE BELLS. But to preserve the environment, the heritage of the area and the huge recreational value of the reserve; we need to act. Surf Coast Shire has released the Draft Bells Coastal Management Plan and invites your comment.

The Draft Bells Coastal Management Plan is about keeping Bells ringing for all of us in the long term. The vision for the reserve is to protect and enhance its natural values while retaining the social and cultural values associated with surfing and its broader contribution to surf culture; as well as thousands of years of heritage. The plan does not propose to touch the surf break and measures are in place to ensure the surfing value of the reserve is understood, protected and respected.

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Find the full plan at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/onexhibition.htm at Council’s Grossmans Road office or at Surf World.

You can also find out more at a public information session: At Surf World Museum from 5pm-7pm, Thursday 20 May At Bells, 10am-12pm on Sunday 23 May. Submissions are due by Wednesday 30 June to info@surfcoast.vic.gov.au or PO Box 350, Torquay, 3228.

Music festival for Anglesea BY ELEANOR WOODS THE SURF Coast’s reputation as a kindergarten for emerging musicians continues to grow, with Anglesea set to launch its own annual music festival. Anglesea Music Festival’s Karren Stoneham is calling for support from the community to make the dream into a reality. Stoneham is known throughout the region for organising the successful Anglesea Live events, which annually showcase Surf Coast residents’ musical talents. Looking to build on the success of those events, Stoneham wants to make the festival an even bigger stage for budding local musicians to perform on. “Anglesea Live has proven its success over 10 years, so it’s a natural progression to expand the original concept into a music festival held in the natural amphitheatre which is the Anglesea valley,� she said. “This special event will transform the community of Anglesea into a vibrant, buzzing and exciting town celebrating music.� Stoneham and the committee are now on the hunt for sponsors to put the three-day musical extravaganza on the stage. Surf Coast mayor, Libby Mears, said the shire applauded the initiative being shown by Stoneham and the committee.

“Council is now working with the festival organisers to assess management plans and finalise permits,� she said. “We are, however, well aware of the tremendous contribution Anglesea Live has made to the Surf Coast Shire since 1999 and we certainly see strong merit in holding a local music festival in Anglesea during October.� The committee has already received great feedback and support from the community, local government and regional organisations and businesses, but more support is needed to bring the projected spring festival to life. The venture has been pencilled in for October 8 to 10 and will draw on Stoneham’s years of experience in organising grass roots music events to create a unique showcase of both aspiring and well-known artistic and musical talents. Stoneham said the festival programme would be a balance of local, regional and well-known bands, acts and performers, celebrating all that is wonderful about our community, our environment and our music and would be held at various Anglesea venues, all within walking distance from one another. If anyone is interested in being involved in the event, phone the committee on 5263 3309 or 5263 3703 or email angleseamusicfest@hotmail.com.au

WORK on the major power upgrade in the southern section of the Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park started last week. Acting chief executive officer, Richard Davies, said about 300 camp sites would benefit from safer, more reliable power and water services with the upgrade works to occur in stages across the park’s southern section between now and the end of October next year. “At this very moment our electrical contractor, Geelong-based firm Salt Electrical, is excavating an area covering some 40 camp sites in preparation for the installation of the brand new power and water services in this area followed by landscaping and restoration works,� Davies said. “Once work in this area is complete, the contractor will then move onto the next area. “The works also entail the removal of some exotic and environmental weeds due to access and environmental reasons. “We are, however, taking extra care to protect significant native vegetation – such as our lovely Moonahs – to ensure we maintain the park’s natural ambience, which so many campers have enjoyed and commented on over the years.�

The Apollo Bay Marriner’s Lookout curtainraiser, which kicks off the carnival at 10am on Saturday, May 15, has also drawn record numbers, with 400 to face the starter. The TAC Great Ocean Road Wheelchair Athletes’ Challenge, arguably the most fiercely contested event of the festival, has attracted a topflight field of 12 wheelies, including Geelong’s Richard Colman and Xavier Elsworthy. Stephens said one of the most exciting aspects of the entry was that participants were drawn from all Australian states and territories and 13 overseas countries, including Singapore, New Zealand, Philippines, United States, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, England, Canada, Austria, Japan, Ethiopia and Kenya. He said more than 20 per cent of participants were from interstate or overseas. “The marathon festival, supported by Tourism Victoria, is certainly fulfilling its objectives,� he said.

Lucky escape for French tourist A FRENCH tourist had a lucky escape from the recent roaring surf conditions at Bells Beach. The tourist, who had never surfed before, purchased a wetsuit and boogie board before venturing to Winkipop to tackle the six-foot swell. Shortly after taking to the water, he found himself in trouble and after battling conditions for 60 minutes, he finally made it to the rocks where he was able to rest for a while before making his way up the steps to Sunset Strip. Torquay police met him on the strip and Marine Rescue had also been activated. Torquay’s police’s Brian McKiterick said the incident was a reminder of people tackling conditions they are not prepared or experienced enough for. “He decided to jump in the deep end. Fortunately he came out okay, but it just shows the care that needs to be taken on the water,� McKiterick said.

GREAT Ocean Road International Marathon entries have sky-rocketed, with more than 3,500 competitors from 14 countries set to contest the five events next weekend. Marathon committee president, Ross Stephens, said entries had increased by 25 per cent on the 2009 figure. “Right from the outset, when the marathon festival was founded in 2005, the magical target was always 3,000 participants,� he said. “That barrier has now been smashed. It is a great outcome for the festival’s naming rights sponsor, Great Ocean Road Real Estate, and we are ready for a magnificent weekend of competition and enjoyment.� Leading the way in numbers is the Fagg’s Mitre 10 Half Marathon which has attracted nearly 1,700 participants. The Great Ocean Road Real Estate Marathon has close to 700 entries while the Apollo BayParadise run has 750 runners/walkers.

Planning for Bellbrae’s future A DRAFT Bellbrae Structure Plan has gone on display, which charts land use planning in the township over the next two decades. The plan focuses on preserving the green break between Bellbrae and Torquay, preserving the rural atmosphere and protecting the local environment while making efficient use of available residential land. The plan recognises growth in Bellbrae should be limited, reflecting current Surf Coast Shire

and State Government planning policy as well as comments during community consultation sessions held during the plan’s development. The plan proposes any short term growth in Bellbrae be accommodated by filling in 16 now vacant lots. Around eight new lots of 2,500m2 would be created along School Road in the short term, providing development opportunities in the middle of the township.

Lots of 4,000m2 would be available in the longer term between School Road and Anglesea Road, creating around 14 new lots in the longer term to 2026 and beyond. Farming Zone would be retained beyond the settlement boundary to help preserve green breaks between Bellbrae and Torquay and to preserve the town’s rural character. A streetscape project is proposed for School Road in the medium term to improve the area’s

visual appearance, better manage street car parking and stormwater and to improve the intersection of School Road and Anglesea Road. The plan will be on exhibition until Thursday, June 17, at Surf Coast Shire’s Grossmans Road Service Centre and online at www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au/BellbraeStructurePlan.htm Submissions can be sent to info@surfcoast.vic. gov.au or to the Strategic Planning Unit, Surf Coast Shire, PO Box 350, Torquay, 3228.

Reaching new heights in Anglesea Cheers to our THE PROPERTY market hit a record high in Anglesea on the weekend with the sale of a house for $2million. The house on Melba Parade boasts 180-degree views from Bells Beach to Point Roadknight and is located less than 100 metres from the beach. The auction drew a huge crowd that saw a fierce bidding war that lasted more than 30 minutes. Auctioneer, Wayne McKay, from Hayden Real Estate was kept on his toes with five bidders keen to secure the property. The property was sold by Trent Ludlow and Marius Tekin, who were equally shocked and thrilled by the result. Managing director, Bryan Hayden, said the result underlined the strength of the coastal property market. “It showed an upward pressure for property close to the water and a severe shortage of quality property within walking distance of the beach,� said Hayden. “The desire for business people to exit Melbourne, the reality of the Geelong bypass and flexibility in people’s employment is making the Surf Coast dream a reality.�

Ready for the trip of a lifetime TWO SURF Coast representatives have found their way to their dream environmental project in Kenya, thanks to Alcoa and the Earthwatch Institute. The Surf Coast Shire’s manager of environment and community safety, Rowan Mackenzie, and Alcoa Anglesea’s environmental scientist, Lisa Mills, will both travel to Gazi Bay in Kenya in July to live and work with villagers and help to conduct pioneering plantation experiments to rehabilitate degraded mangroves. They will also be planting mangrove seedlings on two beach sites, and helping to monitor the effects of these plantations on rates of beach erosion and on the animals – particularly crabs and fish – dependent on them. The results will benefit the local fishing community, which relies on mangrove forests for wood products and fish habitat. The work will also contribute to global efforts to restore dwindling mangrove forests and combat the effects of rising sea levels, as well as provide the first data on the use of mangrove forests as carbon sinks. While Alcoa is in its eighth year of working with Earthwatch Institute to offer this exciting opportunity to 12 of its employees globally, this year is the first year the programme has been extended to members of the community. “I have two small children, so I find it hard to spend all the time I would like to work on or study environmental projects, so to have almost two weeks entirely on a project sounds so interesting and aligned to my role at Alcoa Anglesea – its a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Mills. Mackenzie said he was motivated to apply for the project because it fit his personal and professional goals of contributing positively to the environment. For more information on Earthwatch, visit www.earthwatch.org and for more information about the project, visit www.earthwatch.org/ exped/krecek_research.html

Rowan Mackenzie and Lisa Mills have been selected as international Alcoa Earthwatch Fellows.

Torquay’s Scott Andrews in action during the Commodore Cup national series.

Torquay teen sets the pace

TORQUAY teenager Scott Andrews has taken the lead after two rounds of the Commodore Cup national car racing series. The 19-year-old finished second overall in round two of the 2010 series at Phillip Island earlier this month, including taking his first Commodore Cup race win in the second race. After taking his second consecutive pole position in his Luna Fringe Motorsport Commodore, Andrews finished third in race one. “I wasn’t quite as fast as Parker or Lloyd in the wet so I knew I just needed to think about the big picture, conserve the car and bring it home in one

piece,� Andrews said. “It was still a very good result.� Starting eighth in race two (the top-10 reversegrid race), Andrews quickly worked his way up to fourth, before reaching the lead on the sixth lap of the race – an advantage he never relinquished. “I’m absolutely stoked to have finally won a race,� Andrews said. “Coming from eighth, it was tough to overtake everyone and Adam Beechey made it difficult to get past at turn one – he braked very late and I was right on the limit. “We’ve done very well in qualifying recently

and I’ve come very close to winning races before, so it’s great that it’s worked out this weekend.� In the third and final race, Andrews started from pole position but was beaten off the line by Nick Parker, and at the finish he failed to record a second win by just 0.01 of a second. The results see Andrews take a 15-point lead into the third round of the series, which will be held at Mallala, South Australia, over the weekend of May 29 and 30. “It would have been nice to have won the round, but I’m stoked to be leading the series after the first two rounds,� Andrews said.

LOCAL politicians showed their global interest at a ‘Make Poverty History’ forum in Torquay on Saturday. Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, and Greens candidate, Richard Di Natale, both attended the event. The forum was organised by the World Vision community campaigners as a means for local residents to engage with their government representatives and candidates on the important issue. Coranagamite constituent, 20-year-old Josh Hallam, said 350,000 women had died since last Mother’s Day because of complication in pregnancy and in child birth. “The government should keep its promise and raise our level of aid to 0.7 per cent, or 70c in every $100, to make a real difference for the mother’s and the children they leave behind,� he said. Hallam’s passion for international development and child health lead him to working with Make Poverty History to develop a forum giving locals the opportunity to question their federal candidates about their positions on these issues. “I believe countries like Australia should be doing all they can to help those in greatest need around the world. When you look at the rest of the aid giving countries level of international aid and compare it to their debt, you can see that Australia just isn’t doing its fair share,� he said. The forum was one of many being organised by MPH around the country in the lead up to the 2010 elections which are themed around the call for 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income in foreign aid by 2015 and the issues of maternal and child health in developing countries.

Support for RACV Dear Editor, The Torquay community and the Surf Coast council need to get behind the RACV in their endeavours to create a resort at Torquay Golf Club. This project was launched with much enthusiasm by the RACV, who committed over $90million to provide accommodation units and a complete regrade of the golf course. The benefits for Torquay are huge with; not only provision of a first-class golf course, but a top of the range clubhouse and convention centre. With their accommodation units, this will make No. 1 Great Ocean Road the ‘jewel in Torquay’s crown’ – supplying hundreds of jobs for locals and a great venue for Torquay residents to socialise and play golf on a course the likes of which the town could not otherwise afford. Unfortunately, the RACV has found that there has been many obstacles put in its way and this has delayed the project. Typical of the frustrations is the example of a diversion weir planned for Jan Juc Creek. This would have caught overflow stormwater heading out to sea, and funneled it into a planned wetland alongside the 14th hole. This would have been a ‘win/win’ situation for everyone as the extensive wetland would have been a haven for wildlife and a scenic attraction for golfers and tourists alike. Unfortunately, a Procrustean law about removal of water from creeks meant this had to be dropped. Another example was the plan to raise holes 1 and 8, beset with salinity problems from Spring Creek, to

allow for better quality grass growth. This, likewise, had to be shelved because of some obscure view that it would damage the already compromised Spring Creek. The RACV has accepted these, but the major frustration, which has brought the project to a halt, is opposition to the harvesting of storm run off from Jan Juc streets. With our prolonged drought, we have all remarked at the plethora of valuable water that runs off our streets straight into the sea. The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee has even investigated catching this water in an underground storage to water the foreshore lawns. The RACV has produced a plan to do just that in Jan Juc for the golf course, but again it faces frustration as council delays making a decision. Council is elected to make decisions that will benefit Torquay. It has a difficult task trying to manage the rampaging development that afflicts the coast. However, development will continue and the council must find a way to support perceived good development. The RACV is trying to give Torquay a wonderful asset. Council needs to get behind the RACV and allow it to give us something special.

Notice of the scheme was given in a leaflet distributed to adjoining property owners about two weeks before work commenced but there was no consultation. These houses and others in the area had been identified as high risk for destruction by wildfire (ie bushfire). While the department is well intentioned and wants to be seen as doing something about the bushfire risk, this writer and many of his neighbours wonder about the wisdom of this project. A bushfire is likely to come from any direction between south-west through to north, and the firebreak will only be of use against a fire coming from the south-west (a repeat of the Ash Wednesday events) which is thought by some experts to be relatively unlikely. Even then a 50m break will be of little use against a fire racing uphill through the basin. A fire would easily jump the break even if there were 10 CFA engines patrolling the break (unlikely). While no doubt the DSE may have had expert advice, I doubt if it has added anything to the chances of my house surviving a bushfire. Is this an effective use of taxpayers’ money? Could it have been better spent?

Was this asset protection really needed?

McAdam Park concerns

Dear Editor, The community has lost the beautiful Jarosite track from which there are lovely views of Point Addis. This was a three-kilometre shady walking track which follows the escarpment through the messmate and grass-tree forests with orchids in September and other wild flowers throughout the year. Beginning April 4 the Department of Sustainability and Environment carried out the creation of a 50-metre wide firebreak in the Ironbark Basin (between Bells Beach and Point Addis) behind the 20 or so houses on seven-acre blocks fronting the southern side of Jarosite Road. The work was undertaken as part of an ‘asset protection scheme’.

Dear Editor, When advocating massive public funding for McAdam Park, Michael Cruthchfield MP claimed “[It] is an international standard facility ... and has no planning issues on its current operations.� (Geelong Advertiser 23/7/09). He also claimed an absence of community complaint. Recently, he enthused “The [MX National] Series visit to Geelong will inject hundreds of thousands of dollars into the local economy.� The facts are: The community accepts McAdam Park’s historical operation but strongly objects to development and questions the extent of usage rights under the planning scheme. Significant McAdam Park infrastructure appears

11

to lack necessary permits. The MX National series was relocated from Barrabool to Broadford. Motorcycling Australia cited a “wide range of matters in compliance and regulations�. There is no published evidence of McAdam Park’s economic performance. The community is seeking relief in VCAT. In the meantime, Mr Crutchfield should cease his inaccurate commentary about McAdam Park. Heather Wellington Paul Morgan Ian Kelly On behalf of the Barrabool Rural Protection Group

A question for Kevin Dear Editor, Here’s a question for Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd: If your new cigarette tax on three million smokers is going to make them give up smoking, why are you factoring in $5billion in extra revenue over the next four years? Government rhetoric would indicate bad times ahead for the tobacco industry in the name of health; however your financial advice seems to indicate otherwise; good times ahead for government wealth. I’m not a smoker, but history tells us that increasing the tax on cigarettes does not stop people taking up the habit; however it does deliver substantial revenue windfalls. When has a government ever introduced a tax motivated by a plan to reduce revenue? If one thing one is certain, smokers in time may forget the Rudd government’s extra tax grab but the new packaging will be a constant reminder to three million smoking voters as they gaze down on those new personally insulting ugly cigarette packets just before they walk into the polling booths. Well Kevin. Do you think three million smoking voters will hold a grudge? This may be another thing this great visionary didn’t see coming. Ron Humphrey Torquay

PORTARLINGTON PRIMARY SCHOOL Portarlington – a great place to live and learn Newcombe Street, Portarlington Ph: 5259 2572 www.portps.vic.edu.au

PORTARLINGTON Primary School will be showcased next week, with families of 2011 preps and the wider community invited to see students and staff at work. The open morning on Wednesday, May 19 will include school tours, with parents and friends welcome to spend time with students while new families explore the facilities and meet teachers. The event will be part of Education Week celebrations, which will also include a visit from author, Michael Panckridge, through the school’s involvement with the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Principal Denise Simons said Portarlington Primary School offered many opportunities and has many benefits for students, including the size of the school which enabled supportive, strong relationships between all students and staff. “While literacy and numeracy are our focus, we also provide a wide range of special arts, ICT, sports and extra-curricular programmes initiated by the enthusiastic school community,” she said. “Our school community is proud of its ability to work with families to accommodate all needs,

interests and abilities. We are a nut-free and egg-free school. “We have an extremely caring school community and provide encouragement for all students, whether they need additional support in some areas or extension work to allow every individual to excel. “Since Interactive Whiteboards have been installed in every classroom, students are even more engaged in their learning and have access to a wide range of personalised learning programs. Portarlington Primary School is also involved in numerous unique initiatives to encourage an ongoing link with the community including a playgroup, weekly Port Produce markets in the school grounds and bi-annual theatre productions. Portarlington PS also offers quality before and after-school care, from 7am to 8.45am and 3.15pm to 6pm and a daily breakfast club programme.

Why Dancentre? Dance connects the dots between physical, mental, emotional and creative energies. At Dancentre we believe every child truly deserves the opportunity to explore space, energy, rhythm, and imaginative processes through dance. Dancentre classes are serious fun and offer students from the age of 3 years to teenagers the delight and thrill that dance can bring. Dance for recreation. Enjoy the moment! Dance for education. Develop your dance skills and experience a sense of achievement. Pursue your love of dance to an accomplished level, developing skills that can be tapped into for VCE Dance. Dance for aspiration. Follow your dreams. Refine your skills progressively and build your knowledge, strength and fitness. Private lessons and competitions are suggested for students passionate about a career in dance. Dance for fun. Our program includes Classical Ballet, Jazz & Funk, Hip-Hop and Contemporary. We have a specially designed Preschooler DanceFun program and a transition year that combines Classical Ballet, Jazz & Funk with Creative Dance for children in Prep.

surfcoasttimes.com.au

Preschooler DanceFun

Designed especially for 3 - 5 year olds, Preschooler DanceFun is a unique experience for active, creative children. DanceFun classes explore elements of movement using a play-based, thematic approach. Each week a theme is chosen to integrate basic concepts with physical skills, spatial awareness, coordination, language, music and free expression. Gross motor skills are developed through infinite variations of crawling, walking, running, skipping, jumping, hopping, spinning, swaying, sliding, swinging & rolling. Children learn to move with spontaneity and confidence, and are encouraged to contribute their own ideas to the content of each lesson. They develop movement skills naturally and at their own pace.

Combination Dance for Preppies

Children have a very big year ahead when they first start school. For this reason the Dancentre philosophy is to make preppies’ dance classes a positive, pleasurable and nonthreatening experience. Our Combination classes mix classical ballet, jazz and funk together with creative dance and movement games to give students a taste of a variety of dance styles, and to form a transition year before the demands of graded dance levels.

Ballet & Jazz/Funk for 6-8yrs

Ballet trains the body carefully, developing alignment (line), balance, strength, control, coordination and flexibility. Skills are built up in a logical and systematic way; ensuring students master each progression before moving on to the next one. Jazz dance emerged out of the theatrical styles performed on Broadway and in West End musicals. While funk typifies moves generated during the choreography of music video clips & DVD’s. Dancentre students get the best of both worlds by learning the established basics of ballet and jazz techniques as well as the more recent funk vocabulary.

Hip-Hop for 9-11yrs & 12-15yrs

Cool moves to hot music. Hip-Hop has the leading edge in popular dance. Danced to R&B, funk, rap, breakin’ and naturally, hip-hop music, it’s rhythmic, high-energy and totally electric. Because Hip-hop is constantly evolving, Dancentre teachers follow an open class plan for Hip-Hop; keeping it fresh by experimenting with new ideas and staying on top of the newest dance moves.

Taking a natural path BY ALISON MARTIN

NATUROPATH Jarrod Carter has found that providing a broad range of therapies and treatments in Drysdale has many benefits for clients including convenience. Operating three days a week from the Drysdale Health Group in High Street, Carter has an established client list of local residents who have been able to access an experienced naturopath who is familiar with their conditions and needs. Clifton Springs’ resident Sarah Baker has been a client of Carter’s for several years and through diagnosis and a sound treatment plan, she has been able to control intolerances, allergies and other health issues. “I have gone down the natural path for about 15 years and use western medicine when I need to,� she said. “When I went looking for a local naturopath and found Jarrod I had been having issues with being tired and low energy. By 2pm in the afternoon I was ready for bed. “I already knew I was egg and wheat intolerant, not anaphylactic but I have severe reactions.� Carter said a significant number of his clients had allergies or food intolerance and there was an increasing number of people being diagnosed with gluten intolerance, even if they did not actually have Celiac disease.

He said, while he treated a broad range of health conditions, feeling overly tired was another common condition with many possible causes. “It can depend on a number of things from poor diet or deficiencies to heavy metals in the system, or a client might just need a detox. I test for all those things and work out an appropriate treatment,� he said. Baker said it had been important for her to have access to her own naturopath locally and the benefits of stabilising her health had lead to her starting her own business. Under the name ‘Sarah’s Cooking’, Baker makes homemade, gluten-free biscuits, cakes and slices to meet some of increasing demand for food without wheat flour. She sells her products through local cafes, promoting through word-of-mouth, and expects her business to grow as more people look for alternatives to wheat flour. Carter said it was important that people were accurately diagnosed with gluten intolerance or allergies – or any condition affecting their body functions – in order to receive the right treatment and make the right choices. Carter is available for appointments on Monday, Thursday and Friday, by phoning 5251 2958. For more information on Baker’s gluten-free products visit www.sarahscooking.com

Drysdale Naturopath, Jarrod Carter, has been able to assist local clients with a range of health issues, including Clifton Springs resident, Sarah Baker.

Better screening access a boost for local women BELLARINE and Surf Coast women are benefiting from increased access to cervical screening thanks to a growing band of nurse Pap test providers, according to PapScreen Victoria. A new report released by the Victorian Cervical Cytology Registry indicates that the number of nurses in Victoria who have undertaken training

allowing them to take Pap tests is growing dramatically year on year, jumping from 185 in 2000 to 418 in April 2010. PapScreen Victoria manager, Lea Rawlings, said the growth in the number of nurses who could take Pap tests was great news for Barwon women. “There are now 31 nurse Pap test providers

Need a doctors appointment today?

working in the region, up from 25 in 2007,� she said. However at 62.1 per cent, the Barwon South Western region’s screening rates are below the Victorian average of 62.3 per cent. “That means that well over a third of women in the area are not accessing this life-saving test every two years as recommended.

“We think that the growing number of nurse Pap test providers will have a positive impact on the current low screening rates, which in turn will help to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer,� Rawlings said. Women can find their nearest nurse Pap test provider by visiting www.papscreen.org.au

All smiles at Drysdale

DRYSDALE residents are delighted with the announcement of an increase in dentists and dental services in their local community. Since acquiring Drysdale Family Dental Clinic from Dr Nicholas Johnstone in January 2010, Pacific Smiles Dental has added a second surgery and welcomed Dr Darren Schmidtke to the centre. The friendly and caring team at Pacific Smiles Dental can now provide the Drysdale community with greater access to quality dental care with the increased services provided by Dr Schmidtke and Dr Johnstone. New and existing patients now have access to the latest in modern dental techniques including crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, bleaching and digital x-rays. “Since Dr Schmidtke joined our team, we have been able to see more patients and our waiting list has decreased, allowing patients to see us when they need to,� said Dr Johnstone. Given the growing local demand for quality dental services, it is a welcome relief for the Bellarine Peninsula to be able to secure an additional experienced dentist. Dr Schmidtke, who grew up in Clifton Springs and attended Drysdale Primary School, has more than 20 years experience as a dentist, and after originally practising in Melbourne, worked at Pacific Smiles Dental, Torquay from 2001. Dr Schmidtke said he was thrilled when Pacific Smiles Dental announced the acquisition and expansion of Dr Johnstone’s practice in January as it offered him the opportunity to work closer to his home and young family.

Keeping your weight down is not that complicated: do the maths IT SEEMS like every day there is some new magical formula, special diet or way of exercising that will make us lose weight faster and easier. Despite all of the fads that are out there, the only true way to get the weight off and keep it off is by getting back to basics – that is being accountable for what you put into your body (food) versus what you expend (activity and exercise). Weight loss (or weight gain) is basically the difference between the energy in and the energy out. As we become more sedentary due to today’s lifestyle habits, many people are unfortunately doing little or no daily physical activity at all. On top of this we are eating more food (and bad food) than what we actually need. This leads to long term weight gain as the extra energy (food) is not being used as fuel and the body

15

stores what it doesn’t need as fat. When we start to move with physical activities such as walking, shopping, house cleaning, manual work and exercise the body uses up more energy (fuel) to power working muscles. Naturally, the harder we work or exercise and the longer we do it, the more energy our bodies burn. To give you an example, an average 35-yearold female who is moderately active needs approximately 2,000 calories a day to maintain weight. If she eats more than this then she needs to use the excess energy up otherwise weight gain will occur.

So how much is 2,000 calories?

Medium skinny latte (no sugar) 100 Scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast (2 slices) 300 Chocolate muffin 400

BLT sandwich – bacon, lettuce, tomato, bread 350 2 Tim Tams and cup of tea (no sugar) 200 100g grilled lean filet steak with carrot, peas and mashed potato 475 Small tub low fat vanilla yogurt 175 Total calories* 2,000 Extra 55g chocolate bar after dinner? +300 So that little bit of chocolate means you would need to run for 22 minutes to work off the extra 300 calories! So if you are looking to lose weight remember the basic formula: Energy out (exercise) – energy in (food). The more you exercise, the more you can eat. It’s as simple as that. *Approximate only.

2010 State Budget – a local view PLANNING for a new hospital, an expansion at Geelong Hospital, and the final stage of the Geelong Ring Road headlined last week’s 2010 State Budget investments for a growing Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast region. The 2010 State Budget delivers $33.6million towards planning for a second hospital to be established at Armstrong Creek and expanded capacity at Geelong Hospital to position the region to meet the challenges of a growing population and deliver world-class health services for the community for generations to come.

Ring Road funding

A further $76.9million will be invested to complete the final stage of the Geelong Ring Road project – section 4C, the Surf Coast Highway connection to the freeway. The 2010 State Budget also brings to the book $4.3billion for the Regional Rail Link project, the biggest addition to the rail network since the City Loop, and the single largest initiative in this year’s Budget. The project will deliver standalone tracks for trains to and from Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat to greatly improve reliability, capacity and efficiency on the regional rail network and is the largest public transport infrastructure project in Australia. Member for Geelong Ian Trezise, Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville and Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield said the government was building the right infrastructure for growth to lock-in a prosperous future for the region. “The Geelong Ring Road will further open up Geelong and the Surf Coast to Melbourne, attract more tourists to this stunning part of our state, generate new jobs and drive new investment across the region,” Crutchfield said. “Victorian motorists are already reaping the benefits of the completed 23-kilometre section of

the Geelong Ring Road from Corio to Waurn Ponds and with this $76.9million they will get a new link extending from Anglesea Road to the Surf Coast Highway.”

Health services

Neville said the $33.6million health services investment includes funding for planning for a new hospital at Armstrong Creek, which would ensure families moving to the growing region would have access to high-quality healthcare. “The government is securing the lifestyles of Geelong, Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula families by building a second hospital for this growing and thriving region,” she said. “Our $33.6million investment will expand capacity at Geelong Hospital and allow for the purchase of suitable land south of Geelong and for the associated planning for development of a community hospital at this site to meet the needs of families moving to Geelong and the coast. “It will also expand acute capacity at Geelong Hospital with six new beds in the intensive care unit, and increase inpatient capacity. Barwon Health will also benefit from a further $5million across the state to support expanded surgery capacity with 10 new acute Intensive Care Unit Beds.

Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast first home buyers will be the big winners from the government’s investment in the Budget to provide an additional $2,000 from July 1 next year for every Victorian purchasing a new home in regional Victoria. This brings the total available assistance to $26,500. The government will also deliver a special Blueprint for Regional Victoria in coming weeks which will provide more investment in regional and rural Victoria on top of the Budget.

More police

Neville said the government’s AAA-rated economic management throughout the global financial crisis meant the Budget had the capacity to deliver a massive increase in frontline police. As part of the $561.3million investment over five years to recruit, train and employ 1,700 additional frontline police, the government would invest $73.9million over four years to redeploy 200 police to the frontline. A further $38.4million will release 66 police officers from telephone answering services into frontline police roles. “The government is securing the lifestyles of Victorian families in Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast region by taking action to make our streets even safer,” Neville said. “Victoria is the safest state in Australia, but we want to drive down crime even further, so that Victorians living and working in our regions not only are safe, but feel safe.”

Fire ready

Crutchfield said the government would get on with the job of taking key actions to prepare the state for the next bushfire season with a $136.6million boost to fire preparation and emergency services. “Our government is determined to work with communities to learn the lessons of the terrible Black Saturday and Gippsland bushfires – and take new actions to make bushfire-threatened communities safer. “The government is investing in the right community safety infrastructure to protect Victorians from the threat of future bushfires.” The $136.6 million boost to fire preparation and emergency response includes: • $35.4million over four years for personnel training at Incident Control Centres across the state

• $28.5million over four years to upgrade and improve bushfire warnings and upgrade intelligence gathering, analysis and alerting capability by fire and emergency agencies, including further funding for the Bushfire Information Line and the Emergency Alert • $41.8million over two years for the Country Fire Authority (CFA) to expand community education initiatives, help communities and householders prepare themselves for the bushfire season • $11.6million over four years for VICSES to purchase rescue vehicles, road accident rescue kits and additional pagers • $9.2million over four years to employ 18 additional CFA personnel to train local brigades to support and advise private land owners, local councils and government agencies on vegetation management • $3.1million for the Bushfire Information Line to provide additional surge capacity • $500,000 to support local government to further develop Neighbourhood Safer Places.

Armstrong Creek

Crutchfield said the Budget delivered $10.4million over three years to bring the new Armstrong Creek community to life. “This investment in Armstrong Creek is for community infrastructure and contributions towards the construction of a neighbourhood health and community centre and a community pavilion,” he said.

Lifesaving boost

Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast communities will also benefit from a $600,000 boost to Lifesaving Victoria to assist clubs to meet their local needs including running costs and equipment.

COASTAL HOMES CRY OUT FOR NEW GLAZING ALTHOUGH we have been spoilt with the mild weather of late, the cold and wet of winter is just around the corner. Murray Riccardi of Rylock Windows said he knows his customers will be warm and cosy in their homes, and not faced with excessive heating bills. “Rylock’s affordable double glazed windows and doors are like winter woolies for your windows, providing insulation against the outside cold just a warm jumper or coat does,� Riccardi said. “Any form of insulation works by simply trapping air particles, and double glazed windows do that with the air that is contained in the sealed space between the panes. “There is no magic involved in why they perform, but customers tell us that the benefits are magical. “Over the years we have had literally dozens of reports from clients of the outstanding benefits, with repeated claims of energy bills halved after the installation of our windows in existing homes. “Today it is more important because of dwindling resources, and the cost of energy going up and up. The benefits will go on year after year, just as surely as energy prices will go up year after year. “If you are building a new home the extra cost of double glazing will probably add less than 20 per cent to your window and door cost. “This small outlay is probably the only money you will spend on the home that will come back to you, in fact over and over again in energy cost

With views of the Southern Ocean like the ones from this coastal house, Rylock double glazing isn’t just a good idea, but a necessity.

savings, as long as you live there. “Today’s modern home designs, with huge areas of glass that would have been solid walls a generation ago, also increase the need for double glazing, and

our clients are often surprised how large we can make spans of double glazed windows these days. “Before you ‘sign off’ with the builder on your new home, get him to find out how little extra.

“Rylock double glazed windows and doors will add to the cost of the building. We are sure you will say ‘is that all’, and remember the small outlay every time you come inside on a chilly winter day.�

WALT Disney workers teamed up with the Anglesea YMCA Recreational Park and ANGAIR in a volunteer environmental project last week. More than 50 Walt Disney employees took part in the event which was part of the company’s worldwide volunteering incentive. The group’s outreach co-ordinator, Bob Eadie, led the team in a day of activities with an aim to

increase the park’s environmental friendliness. “We are really glad to be here and hopefully our presence will make a difference,� Eadie said. The Disney team worked in conjunction with Anglesea environmental group ANGAIR on various projects throughout the day, which was held last Thursday. ANGAIR members guided the Disney team in identifying and removing noxious plants and planting natives in their place.

Disney’s Stuart Turnham got down and dirty planting, weeding and mulching. “It is great to be here and doing work of this nature. It is a one-off chance to come down and help out,� he said. The international company also donated to the park an overhead projector, screen and film library as well as building a wood-fired pizza oven and replacing some of the camp’s barbeques.

Being super savvy BY AARON KELLEHER-JONES WHATEVER stage you’re at in life, no matter how old you are, what you earn or what you own – all that matters is making the most of what you have. Well, superannuation is no different. If you are just starting out in the workforce, retirement will more than likely be the last thing on your mind. But when you do retire, you are going to want enough money to enjoy it, ideally enjoy a comparable lifestyle to that you have had approaching retirement. That’s where superannuation comes in. In addition to your take home pay, your employer is legally required to put 9 per cent of your earnings

coast community environment

into your nominated superannuation fund. This is known as Superannuation Guarantee Contribution or Employer Contributions. However, this doesn’t apply if you are age under 18 years or earn less than $450 in that month. For many of us, superannuation is likely to become one of the biggest assets we are likely to have. So with such a sizable amount of money being invested on your behalf, it pays to be interested in super and to know as much as you can about your super fund. Unlike your parents and grandparents before you, it is unlikely that you will stay in your first job for life. The fact is you may have several jobs over your

lifetime. This can make the job of keeping track of your super more difficult. You don’t want to end up with multiple super accounts because with each new super account comes another set of fees and an increasing likelihood that you will lose track of the money you have invested. So choose a superannuation fund that has competitive fees, a consistent performance record, a diversified investment portfolio, insurance options and flexibility to cater for your changing needs, and then consolidate your money into the one superannuation fund. If you think that you might have some “lost”

super, you can try to locate these funds by logging onto the Australian Tax Office (ATO) website at www.ato.gov.au/superfunds. Caring about money doesn’t have to mean you are materialistic, but managing what you have got does mean that you will get to enjoy more of what you want whether that is to travel, education, starting a family or buying a house. So talk to your Financial Planner about the best way to be smart with your money. Aaron Kelleher-Jones is a Financial Planner and Representative of Bendigo Financial Planning (ABN 11 068 049 178 AFSL 237898), a part of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group.

Industry Info

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Home sale myths: Setting a reserve OVER the next few weeks this column will look at a few common myths about the buying and selling process in Victoria. By Enzo Raimondo, If readers have any myths they would like CEO REIV they are welcome to email the to discuss REIV at feedback@reiv.com.au This week’s myth is that vendors have to set a reserve when selling their house by auction. It is a common perception that the vendor has to set a reserve before they sell their home because it is common practice – however, this is not the case. The vendor can establish the ‘reserve price’ at any stage during the sale process but most wait until they have seen the level of interest through inquiries and open-house attendances. This is case for two reasons: first, the law does not require it; and second, unlike a private sale where the price on the advertisement is the price the vendor will sell at, through an auction the vendor is discovering what the market is willing to pay. In the event that they set a reserve, there is no requirement for them to keep the same reserve until the day of the auction – the vendor can vary it at any time. Indeed, a reserve set on day one, two or 20 of the auction campaign provides no surety about the final sale price. In a strong market, such as the one in Melbourne right now, the market often exceeds vendors’ expectations but in a soft market – for instance, in 2000 or 2008 – vendors frequently lowered their expectations to meet the market. Regardless of the reserve, unless otherwise instructed the auctioneer will not ‘knock the house down’ until they have sought and received the vendor’s approval.

Records continue to tumble at Barry Plant THERE is little doubt the state is in the midst of a property boom. Figures released from the Barry Plant Group show that the organisation – one of the strongest in Victoria – sold a remarkable 1,156 properties across the 77 office network for the month of March. This figure is approximately 15 per cent up on the network’s previous record, resulting in the group recording its 15th record month in a row. “With our expansive spread of offices across metropolitan Melbourne as well as the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, the Barry Plant Group is often used as a barometer to measure how the wider Victorian market is travelling,” said group director and chief executive officer, Mike McCarthy. “Real estate – and in particular Melbourne metropolitan real estate – is looking very healthy. “Certainly from the results we are seeing coming through, there is little doubt the market is extremely strong with buyer demand and a shortage of housing being a driving force.” Auction clearance rates have also been consistent with the Barry Plant network reporting a clearance rate of around 85 per cent over the past few weeks. This figure is parallel to what the REIV has been reporting for Victoria as a whole. In fact,

the REIV reports that the next fortnight will see just over 1,600 auctions in Victoria, more than the consumer has seen heading into winter in the past four years. March also saw a number of other records be superseded across the Barry Plant Group at an office and individual level. Fourteen offices experienced all-time record months and 31 offices had their best March results ever. Individual sales people also performed exceptionally well and achieved a number of personal milestones. The group is hopeful this trend will continue throughout the remaining months of 2010 and well beyond. The Barry Plant Group holds a firm belief that it is the local knowledge and expertise of each of their offices and consultants that has achieved such strong results for their customers. Through extensive training sessions and continued professional development, agents are kept up to date with the latest information and market trends. If you’re thinking of buying or selling a property, visit your local real estate professionals at Barry Plant and experience the red carpet real estate service the group is famous for.

Industry Info

Home buyers urged to be aware of insulation BUILDING advisory service of the Australian Institute of Architects, Archicentre, has renewed its call that home buyers should check the insulation status of properties they are purchasing as a safety issue to protect their families. Archicentre chief executive, Mark Stewart, said a legal opinion obtained by Archicentre showed that legislation basically supported the ‘buyer beware’ approach with generally little or no onus placed on vendors having to reveal if the home

they were selling had been part of the Federal Government’s now closed Home Insulation Programme. “However vendors need to be mindful of their legal obligations not to misrepresent their properties by concealing faulty insulation,” he said. “It therefore is important for all home owners with properties for sale who have had insulation installed to have their homes checked before

the sale to protect against any potential legal liability relating to the sale and to ensure the home is safe. “Currently tens of thousands of homes are changing hands every month in Australia, many of which may have been subject to faulty insulation installation. “We are urging anyone who is purchasing a property to also directly ask the questions: Has the home been involved in the Government

Insulation Program? Has the home been checked by a qualified person? If so by whom and is there supporting documentation? If there is any doubt prospective purchasers should have it independently checked by a qualified electrical contractor if foil has been used, or an architect or engineer if bulk insulation has been installed. People with concerns about the safety of their insulation are encouraged to call 13 17 92 to arrange a safety inspection.

Confidence in property market continues to grow

A RECORD number of Australians are preparing for property prices to increase in coming months, as demand for housing continues to outpace supply. The latest Bankwest/Mortgage and Finance Association Home Finance (MFAA) Index shows three quarters of Australians (76%) believe prices will rise in the current quarter. The data shows it’s the people upgrading or buying their second homes who are fuelling interest in the property market. Three quarters (74.8%) of next time buyers also believe it’s a good time to purchase investment property – up sharply from the record low 14.5% recorded during the height of the credit crisis. In contrast, prospective first time buyers are more cautious about the market, with only 43.7% believing now is a good time to buy compared to 49.7% in the last survey. According to Vittoria Shortt, chief executive, Bankwest Retail, although interest rates are rising next time buyers are returning to the property market because of confidence in the economy and

the jobs market. “Historically, the market has proved a good barometer of home owners’ confidence in the economy,” she said. “During the early stages of the global financial crisis house prices slipped, then the market recovered as first time buyers flooded the market. Now the baton has been passed to upgraders who see it as a good time to buy because of a strong economy and confidence in their job prospects. “We are also witnessing the return of investors to the market as a tight rental market sees the potential for good rental yields. “Savvy next time buyers are also aware of impending interest rate rises, and are factoring these into their decision making process.” The latest Index has also shown of the many people who are expecting the cash rate to keep climbing, almost half (47.1%) predict interest rates will rise by more than 0.5% within the next 12 months.

Riding the property wave

AUSTRALIANS throughout the country now feel house prices are headed higher. Of all states and territories surveyed, Victorians were most likely to think the value of their property had risen (76.3%), comfortably exceeding the average across all states (61.8%). The biggest improvement in perceived property value has been Western Australia, with only 3.3% of respondents feeling they have lost value compared to 16.7% in the last survey. According to chief executive officer of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA), Phil Naylor, a climate of rising house prices and interest rates is a reminder to mortgage holders to shop around and take advantage of increased market competition.

“Our research shows understanding of mortgage broker services amongst both first time buyers and next time buyers is increasing,” Naylor said. “Perceived benefits of using broker services include offering a wide loan range and having the expertise to help the customer select the home loan product of most value to their specific circumstances as well as undertaking all the necessary groundwork needed.” Outlining the benefit of selecting one of MFAAs 12,500 members, Naylor added: “Choosing an MFAA member confirms that broker meets the highest standards in the industry, meeting key consumer criteria of education, experience, ethics and professionalism.”

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 Mr P Holden, the Customs officer in charge of the wreck, with three mounted police and several constables were camped on the beach for the protection of the revenue. The remains of the hull and wreck had canted over to the weather side, and numbers of dark objects washed out after the decks had burst were seen floating in with the tide. In some places sections of the decking were found at high water mark, where the retreating tide had left them, and a little further on the lower half of the mainmast was lying. An interesting relic of the wreck was a considerable portion of the stern, wrenched off from the rest of the hull, and carved upon it in gilt letters, the words JOSEPH H. SCAMMELl, ST. JOHN, N.B. On Saturday a large trunk of clothing, belonging to the wife of the captain, was washed ashore unharmed, a suit of clothes owned by the mate, also arrived on the beach during the day, and was welcomed by the owner.

Naturally beautiful DERBYSHIRE has built an outstanding reputation for its “naturally beautifully homes” and this is evident the moment you set eyes on its Highton display home. Visitors have dubbed the six-star energy rated residence the “display home of all display homes” and it is easy to see why. This exquisite three-bedroom house – Series One from the company’s Platinum Series – is a display home not to be missed. The striking exterior gives the promise of something special with its blend of glass, cladding, smoked pine and feature stonework. This continues inside where the plantation spotted gum floors lend warmth to the contemporary colour scheme. European floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the front living room to create a light-filled environment that is balanced by a stone feature wall. In the nearby kitchen the mochatoned Wathaurong glass splashback complements the Caesar stone island bench which has twin under mount sinks and white two-pack joinery. Budding MasterChefs will appreciate the premium stainless steel appliances, quality fittings and spacious walk-in pantry housing the fridge, small appliances and ample bench space. The kitchen looks onto a built-in day bed which sits beneath a large picture window flanked by bookshelves. Tucked behind the kitchen is a clever study nook that neatly combines a desk, shelving and built-in filing cabinets.

The dining area opens onto an expansive outdoor deck. Large sliding doors on the other side of the deck flow through to a second light-filled living room. Down the hallway you discover a family bathroom and two spacious bedrooms. Downstairs also has a large laundry, powder room and double garage access. Timber stairs lead to the upper floor which is a true parent’s retreat with large ensuite, master bedroom, study nook and a spacious walk-in robe that would get the Carrie Bradshaw tick of approval with its rows of shoe racks, generous hanging space, drawers and two wall mirrors. Noel Derbyshire explained the home’s architectural design takes full advantage of the natural environment through cross ventilation, a double insulated roof, thermal mass and double glazed windows. “This focus on sustainable design ensures that even on a bitterly cold day the interior remains beautifully warm without having to use the ducted heating,” he said. “The total size is 43.5 squares incorporating 33.3 squares of residence, 5.2 squares of garage and five squares of deck.” The Platinum Range Series One is $650,000 (on your own land); prices for a Derbyshire custom home start from $300,000 (on your own land). The Platinum Range Series One at Lot 143 Province Boulevard, Highton, is open weekends from 1pm-5pm or by appointment by contacting Noel Derbyshire on 0407 524 406.

Literary festival a dream come true

BY ELEANOR WOODS

AS TORQUAY’S Froth and Bubble Literary Festival fast approaches, John Adams’ dream to draw the region’s writing community closer together continues to strengthen. “When I moved here 13 years ago I began to realise there were a lot of people throughout Torquay who were writing but there was no cohesion between the people in the community who were doing so,� Adams said. “I wanted to draw these groups together. Especially during winter when the weather is cold and we all hide indoors.� And Adams, along with a dedicated committee including Debbie Meaney, has done just that. The free community festival, now in its third year, continues to grow steadily with the help from sponsors and support from local enthusiasts. This year it boasts both local and national writers and offers unique experiences to reach and inspire people of all ages. The festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 16, with a special pre-school programme at Torquay Library. On Friday, June 18, Torquay P-9 College will host the school’s programme with an aim to inspire kids with a poetry slam and other events. The body of the festival will run over the weekend of June 19 and 20 and will be based in the centralised location of the Torquay College which will enable participants to move easily between events. The line-up features guest speakers including renowned writer Arnold Zable, who Adams hopes will draw a large crowd. The Surf Coast region’s writers are also being encouraged to put pen to paper and enter the poetry and short story competitions that revolve around the theme ‘Surf or Surfing’. Festival-goers also have the rare opportunity to ‘borrow’ a live book; which involves being able to question a specialist in their area of expertise. Adams, whose background is in the preservation of the works of renowned Australian poet, Adam Lindsay Gordon, said it was the poet’s work that

inspired the festival’s title. Gordon is famous for his line “Life is mostly

froth and bubble� which Adams thought well suited the festival. For more information,

Music to the GRAPEVINE ears of budding } Jon Helmer Cheap and cheery reds Victorian musicians BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

FINDING a good red among the many wines on offer around the $10$15 mark isn’t as easy as it sounds. Overtly rich, sugary reds appeal for their up-front fruity flavours but ultimately they’re usually pretty one dimensional and by the end of the bottle, can be a tad boring. So, the challenge is to find a wine that delivers those lovely upfront, rich fruity flavours yet behind that hopefully their lurks some real varietal definition, character and complexity. If you’re out there kicking a few tyres in search of a good wine for everyday drinking, then here’s a few you might like to explore a little further…

Lightning Creek Merlot 2008 ($8)

Surprisingly good considering the price! Super smooth, lovely berry fruit that shows really good weight and varietal character…definitely one to consider as your ‘house’ wine! Super value…

Scotchmans Hill ‘The Hill’ Cabernet Shiraz 2009 ($12)

Super juicy ripe black fruits and deeply coloured, but the highlight of this wine is the smooth, soft palate that makes it oh so easy to drink. A very popular choice with most wine lovers, and no wonder, great value drinking for any occasion.

EMERGING Victorian musicians have just four weeks to submit their entries for a chance to win $25,000 in prizes as part of the Victorian Government’s Get Equipped competition. Youth affairs minister James Merlino encouraged young artists of all genres to apply for the new competition and go in the running for a share of new music gear, combined with access to professional coaching and artist development. “The government is committed to nurturing Victorian talent and supporting musicians to kickstart their careers and help develop their talents,” Merlino said. Get Equipped is open to Victorians aged between 15 and 21 years old, who will need to submit a short performance of an original or cover song. The entries will be split into five categories, with three prizes available in each group. Prizes include thousands of dollars worth of music equipment from Billy Hyde Music, coaching and artist development sessions from music industry professionals, on-line promotion of submitted

performances via youthcentral as well as promotion of winning artist or group to leading music industry bodies. “Get Equipped provides artists with a great opportunity to showcase their talents and go in the running for new music equipment that could help them realise their dreams,” Merlino said. “We don’t discriminate against style – whether it’s jazz, hip hop, heavy metal, pop or Indie – we want young Victorian musicians to be as creative as they can. “Entrants can apply as an individual or a band but need to submit a video performance of a song that they have either written or a cover song. The quality of the recording is not important – we just want to be able to see and hear the entry for it to be considered.” Get Equipped is part of the government’s $7.1 million Victoria Rocks initiative and is open until Friday, May 28. For more information go to www.youthcentral. vic.gov.au

Mawsons Wrattonbully ‘Hill Block 3’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 ($13)

Earthy, slightly stemmy blackcurrant fruit with hints of briar, chocolate and an ever so slight whiff of oak. I think this needs a bit more time to really settle and show it’s true colours, but it would appeal to those looking for a bit more robust character and edge in their reds.

Kirrihill Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 ($12)

our view

Super ripe, hot, jammy, stewed – these traits come immediately to mind… massive full bodied style with plenty of richness – almost port like (too much for my liking yet right up some people’s alley), it’s a big wine for its price point that demands an equally big, red meat dish, or strong cheeses.

Domaine du Meteore ‘Leonides’ 2004 (approx $15)

Now this is what I’m talkin’ about! This is value with a capital ‘V’… a blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan showing a nice bit of bottle aged complexity and a savoury, dry finish. The nose is a bit ‘pongy’ at first, but this blows off to reveal a lovely core of rich, spicy medium bodied dark fruit, earthy/peppery complexity and a velvety smooth dry finish. Very much a food wine, this is at it’s best when served with a rich, slow cooked type casserole dish. Bring it on!

Oils ain’t just oils: the many benefits

DID YOU know that we Aussies consume more olive oil per person than any other country outside the Mediterranean? Yet as recently as the 1950s, those recently arrived from Italy, Greece and France had to buy their beloved olive oil, a staple of their cuisine, from their local pharmacist. These days it’s the challenges is choosing between the wide range of oils on offer. Do I need extra virgin, in fact, just what does being a virgin olive oil mean? In fact, there’s quite a lot of hoopla and red tape to be gone through before any grower can confidently slap the extra virgin label on their produce. To be deemed so, extra virgin oil must pass the scrutiny of the Madrid based International Olive Oil Council. It accredits tasting panels and chemical laboratories to the task of testing oils to ensure they meet stringent requirements. By definition ‘extra virgin’ oil is obtained by mechanical or other physical means that has not gone through any other treatment other than washing, decanting, centrifugation and

filtering. It must be of perfect flavour and odour, with a maximum free oleic acidity of one gram per 100grams (around one per cent). With such a low acidity extra virgin has a longer shelf life – yes, oils do go off and can become rancid. You would expect to pay more for extra virgin oil, and for this reason its best used to dress salads, drizzle over grilled meats, fish or vegetables and to allow its full fruity flavour to enhance the dish you’re cooking. It must be processed from perfect olives as soon as possible after harvesting, and it’s just coming towards the end of the harvesting season right now. You can sautĂŠ and deep fry with it adding a wonderful extra dimension of flavour. However, if I’m putting together any sort of dish with ‘Asian’ flavours I don’t use olive oil – no mixing cuisines for me! Extra light‌ now there’s another moniker on some bottles of oil – don’t be fooled this type of oil. It isn’t claiming to be lighter in kilojoules. It is oil that has been further refined, with some of the colour filtered out.

Whether it’s food, drink or a at Zeallys Bar & Grill.

35 THE ESPLANADE TORQUAY O P E N LU N C H & D I N N E R

There are many ‘refined’ oils available and these oils are usually extracted from fruit not deemed good enough to be ‘extra virgin’. Possibly the fruit was left too long before being crushed and oxidised. In many regards the processes of extracting olive oil and making wine are similar. Refined oils undergo complex processes involving neutralising, heating, washing, stripping the colour and even deodorising. Sometimes a little extra virgin oil is added back in to give some flavour. Light olive oil is good for making cakes, pastries, mayonnaise – as the fruitier flavour of the extra virgin olive oil will not influence the flavour quite so much. Again, like wines, the region in which the olives are grown, the soil, climate will affect the nuance of the oil produced, tasting various oils you will note that some are more peppery than other, or have a more herbaceous character, or long on the palate, with a slightly bitter finish – the terminology can be like wine-speak! I haven’t even touched on any of the health benefits of using olive oil in your cooking – suffice to say, many nutritionists vouch for the Mediterranean

diet of olive oil, coarse bread, plenty of vegetables and fruit – a diet low in saturated (animal) fat. We know that fat equals flavour, so by using olive oil in your cooking, and let’s not mince words here – forget about using margarine – you can still enjoy flavoursome food with a healthy intake of monounsaturated fats. Olive oil is also a rich source of anti-oxidants, which are important in preventing damage within the arteries – so for cardio-vascular health, for diabetes, various cancers, increasing your usage in the kitchen of extra-virgin olive oil is truly a smart move.

The curtain rises on new theatre Tuesday 11 May 2010

THE GEELONG Performing Arts Centre’s newest star was recently thrust into the limelight. Arts minister Peter Batchelor unveiled the modified Playhouse Theatre last week. “This is the Geelong community’s first glimpse of this fantastic transformation of the popular theatre,� Batchelor said. The government invested $3million towards the refurbishment of popular theatre after recognising the importance of arts and culture in the region. “I visited the theatre in February just after

construction began and it’s fantastic to see how this space has been transformed,� he said. “The refurbishment of The Playhouse has breathed new life into what is one of the centrepieces of the arts sector in Geelong and the surrounding regions.� The upgrade of the previously-named Ford Theatre featured new interior design including new seats and house lighting. Staging technology had also been improved with new acoustic treatments and lighting upgrades as

well as greater disability access including wider aisles, new wheelchair positions and hand rails. “This refurbishment will ensure that the arts and high quality productions continue to thrive in Geelong,� Batchelor said. The redevelopment also aimed to improve the centre’s environmental performance. “The house lighting system is the first in Australia to be state-of-the-art LED which is the most energy efficient lighting system in the world,� Batchelor said. Member for Geelong Ian Trezise said the

redevelopment, which began just 10 weeks ago, had been a resounding success, with the local community playing a major role in the project. “Over 150 people were engaged to work on this project, the vast majority of which came from the Greater Geelong area, with dozens of local manufacturers and tradesman contributing their skills,� Trezise said. “They worked together to ensure the new theatre was delivered on time and on budget, and looking absolutely fantastic.� French flair filled Growlers last Wednesday night to a packed house. Guests were delighted by the three course traditional French meal, charming live entertainment and elegant service including some native French waiters. After the success of their first themed night, the iconic Torquay venue hopes to host similar nights in the coming months.

Aussie rock legend in “big rockin’ night out” JAMES Reyne rides into Torquay on Saturday night to perform hits from his long-standing music career. The one-time law student threw in the books for life on the road and tackled the Australian rock scene with hits such as The Boys Light Up and Reckless. He and his 1980s band Australian Crawl helped pave Aussie rock as it is known today. “I am really looking forward to coming down and playing in Torquay. I always have a blast down there,” Reyne said. Reyne grew up across the bay on the Mornington Peninsula as well as once owning land in Wye River, in regions he holds so dear. “I love Port Phillip Bay and the Great Ocean Road and love coming back to the region and playing. Everyone is so supportive,” he said. When Aussie Crawl split in 1986, Reyne pursued music and carved out a name for himself as a solo performer. With the recent release of his eighth solo album, Every Man a King (which

pays homage to Elvis), Reyne hits the road once more to share with music lovers the reason why he has been so widely recognised. Reyne’s songwriting style has won him many accolades and continues to impress concert-goers today. The audience at the Torquay Hotel gig on Saturday night can expect “a cross section of stuff from my whole career and a big rockin’ night out at the pub”, Reyne said. For more information or to book tickets, drop into the hotel at 36 Bell Street, Torquay, or phone 5261 2001.

Gallery unveils Dowling exhibition

GEELONG Gallery is set to unveil one of its most significant exhibitions of the year. The gallery is the exclusive Victorian venue for the Robert Dowling – son of Empire exhibition, which is a National Gallery of Australia exhibition. Dowling (1827-1886), was an artist considered Australia’s major portrait and figure painter of the late colonial period from 1850-85, who lived and worked in Geelong in the mid-1850s. While largely specialising in portraiture, Dowling also painted popular genre subjects, literary and religious themes, the most substantial Orientalist images by any Australian artist of the time, as well as depictions of Aborigines. Born in Britain in 1827, Dowling migrated with his family to Australia as a child in 1834 and was raised in Launceston. It was here that he launched his career as a portrait painter in 1850, claiming to be self-taught (although it is believed he took lessons from Frederick Strange and Thomas Bock). In September 1854, Dowling moved to Victoria with his wife and their infant daughter, and by November of that year he had settled in Geelong where he obtained employment with a commercial art gallery, painting oil portraits and tinting photographs. From his Geelong base, Dowling painted portraits of pastoral families from the western district of Victoria, a number of which depict Aborigines in close social interaction with the European settlers. His portrait commissions include those from the

THE MARTIANS mob invites music fanatics to come and bathe in the aural melodies made by the Deans Marsh venue’s up and coming guest performers. May Lee Rosser returns to Martian’s Cafe on Saturday May 15, accompanied by his drummer and bass guitarist. Rosser, one of Melbourne’s finest roots/rock artists is the former front-man for the band Rambunctious. His tuned down acoustic guitar, massive vocals and drum grooves will get your feet swinging. Later in the month, Sweet Delores will play on May 30, during an afternoon gig from 2pm.

In 1856 Dowling returned to Britain, spending 27 years there painting. He settled in Melbourne in 1884-86, by which time his reputation was such that he was the most highly esteemed portrait and figure painter in Australia. He went back to Britain in 1886, and remained until he died in London of a heart attack, aged 59.

AN EXHIBITION celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1970 World Surfing Championship at Bells Beach will drop in on Torquay this weekend. The exhibition, Revolution, will be held at Surf World in Torquay. Museum curator, Craig Baird, said he is “stoked to bring this exhibition to the people�. John Witzig, Drew Kampion, Gail Couper, Randy Rarick and others have gathered rare and treasured items and images to bring the exhibition to life. Kick back in a bean bag and check out Tim Burstall’s documentary of the event, take in some of the spectacular images or check out what was making headlines back in May 1970.

And can I mention the area – I love it,� he said. “I have been coming to the Surf Coast for holidays every year with my family where I have loved fishing and boating, walking the dogs on the beach and just enjoying the great lifestyle. “Two years ago, I said to myself ‘Why am I just coming for holidays?’, and made the move from Melbourne. “Now I can enjoy all the things I loved on holiday all year round – working and playing�.

MAY 11 - MAY 17 2010 Have you got the balance right between work and play? With the New Moon stimulating your leisure zone, put professional business aside this weekend and relax with family and friends. Your motto for the next seven days is from Cate Blanchett (born on May 14) “I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important.”

Are you an impulsive Aries spendthrift? Is it time to plug the cash flow drain? With the New Moon activating your $$$ zone, it’s the best week of the year to commit yourself to a disciplined new financial plan. If you don’t trust your fiscal skills then utilise the services of a professional. Slow and steady wins the money race Rams.

Friday’s New Moon should add some stability to your constantly fluctuating moods and emotions. A close relationship is going through tumultuous changes (like a snake shedding it’s skin) but if you can tune into a quiet place within, then you’ll always feel secure - regardless of the comings and goings of others.

Don’t allow a loved one to manipulate you Libra, as they try to persuade you to do something against your better judgment. Have the strength (and common sense) to stand your ground and say no. Friday’s New Moon revitalizes your shared resources zone, so you can expect exciting beginnings involving lust or loot!

Don’t get stuck in a Taurean rut! There’s more to you than your responsible, reliable, risk-free persona. With the annual New Moon in your sign, it’s time to revamp your appearance via a new hairstyle and wardrobe – plus reinvent your dreams and review your future. With a fresh attitude, you’ll be ready to take on the world.

The air is electric with brilliant career opportunities for ambitious Lions. The question is – are you hungry enough? With the New Moon stimulating your work zone, now is the time to pounce professionally and proudly parade your talents. Bossy behaviour will only lead to dramas on the weekend, so slip on your humility hat instead.

Scorpios can be such stubborn souls. With the New Moon lighting up your partnership zone, you need to inject some fresh, flexible energy into your relationships. Knowing when to dig in and when to let go is the secret to success over the coming week. Sometimes you need to lose a battle in order to win the war!

Aquarians are usually so busy saving the world that their family life can be sadly neglected. Not any more! This week’s New Moon falls in your home zone, so it’s time to roll up your sleeves and play Domestic Goddess (or God) to the hilt. Communication with a loved one improves, as you start to see them in a revealing new light.

“Slow down, you move too fast …” Twins are usually in perpetual motion, as you rush from one activity to another, always on the go. This week’s New Moon is in Taurus, which encourages you to shift from go-mode to go-slow mode – if you can. Take the time to relax and re-charge your batteries, as you smell the roses along the way.

The New Moon activates your travel and adventure zone so rev up your motor and ricochet out of your usual routine, as you expand your horizons via local, interstate or overseas travel. Be inspired by birthday great Cate Blanchett “It’s important to travel and move and have a continual set of changing experiences …”

Sagittarius is the sign of excess. You love to eat, drink and party to the max and have trouble saying no to that extra champagne cocktail or third slice of chocolate cake! The New Moon in your health zone encourages you to make a fresh start when it comes to diet and exercise. And are you up-to-date with your medical and dental checks?

Fish can often feel vulnerable and lonely. This week’s New Moon urges you to find fresh ways to connect with those around you at home, at work and within your local community. Gung-ho Mars is in your work zone, so it’s time to get off your procrastinating Piscean behind and be more professionally proactive.

Three in a row for Ryan

Apollo Bay’s Luke Lalor in action on the weekend at the longboard titles at Point Impossible.

PHILLIP Island’s Sandy Ryan maintained his impressive record at the Victorian Longboard Championships at Point Impossible on the weekend. Ryan took out his third successive title when he defeated Adam Lynch from Highton. The titles were moved from Jan Juc, and Point Impossible produced perfect conditions all weekend with consistent swell and light off-shore winds. Torquay legend and long-time competitor, Bob

Smith, underlined the thoughts of the majority of those who took part when he said “this is one of the best contests, surf wise, I have ever surfed in�. Ryan was again in dominating form, winning every one of his heats en route to the final where he took down Lynch (Highton), Jordie Brown (Skenes Creek) and Eli Curry (Phillip Island) who placed second, third and fourth respectively. In the women’s titles, Torquay’s Kristal Gersbach dominated her opponents, scoring an impressive 16.17 out of a possible 20.

Photo: PETER MARSHALL

Gersbach is a recent addition to the Victorian surfing community after moving down from Queensland six months ago. Sam Suendermann (Anglesea) was second with Phoenix Brown (Jan Juc) and Sophie Ciszek in third and fourth respectively. Barwon Heads’ Ben Considine, 13, was a standout surfer on the weekend, wowing the judges and spectators by surfing with maturity and style years above his age. Surfing in both the under 16s and under 18s,

Considine used his skills in traditional ‘noseriding’ to place first in the under 16s and third in the under 18s. The under 18 boys was taken out by Apollo Bay’s Oscar Lalor, who showed his talents by making the semi-finals of the open men’s division. Other winners on the day included Will Cousins (Torquay), Phill Trigger (Point Leo), Heather Peck (Ocean Grove), Bob Smith (Torquay), Greg Brown (Jan Juc) and John Ayton (Torquay).

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB WELL, it’s nice to have a holiday but it is good to be home – no bomb threats, no ferry accidents and no body scans! I’m not sure what they see in those scans, but my underwear did match! Thank you to reporters John Brady and Mrs D for keeping the news going while I was travelling.

WITH MARGO SMITH

Pennant golf It was a great week for pennant with every team having a win. The Sunday women started it off with victory over Clifton Springs at Queens Park 3.5/1.5. Division 1 had their first win for the season, with a 3/2 result against Lonsdale at Portarlington. Division 3 defeated Clifton Springs

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB JUST as the sun rises, the winter will come and surely it can’t be far away. However, Torquay Golf Club members are making the most of this Indian summer. It has been up 27 degrees during May, with lush green grass and the wet weather gear still tucked away in the bag. No wonder there have been some excellent scores posted by both the women and the men over the past week

WITH CHRIS BARR

Results On Wednesday, the men played a stableford round as a qualifier for the John Pettigrove trophy. In A grad, a count back was needed to separate Ross Duff and Rick

at East Geelong 3/2, Division 4 beat Lonsdale 4/1 at Barwon Heads, and Division 7 accounted for St Leonards at Clifton Springs 5/0, with the last three named teams now on top of their ladders. Anglesea hosted the GDGA Coastal Challenge Cup on Saturday, and while the home track was an advantage it wasn’t quite enough to give us a win for the day. Bannockburn’s number 2 team came out on top on a countback from Anglesea.

Matthews and Frank Denahy – both scoring nett 63. Nearest the pins were John Mooney on the 3rd and 6th, Rob McDonald and Nevan Hunniford. Anne Mangan had the best score of the week with 44 points, winning 1st division on Thursday. Ann Stokes won 2nd division with 38 points and Isabel Lear won 3rd division with 37 points on a countback from Lyn Thompson. Nearest the pins were Margot Parton, Glenda Deans, Barb Cook and Ann Wylie.

Midweek results The men played a 4BBB stroke round on Wednesday with tight results. Neville Henderson and David Steele were the best combination with nett 62. Con Keet and Nick Graham were runners up on a countback from Greg

Weekend competition It was a full field on Saturday, with the Coastal Challenge Cup limiting the spots available and many taking Sunday off for Mothers Day. Bob Burgess had the best score with 42 points, winning B grade.

McNamara, both with 37 points. Bob Manning was the B grade winner and Brian Brown took C grade. Both came in with 41 points. Terry Lee took the jackpot and Ntp’s went to Ken Munro, John Riordan and Travis Coles. The second round of the club championships was held in perfect conditions on Saturday, and there were some fine rounds. Tony Mensch had the nett score of the day with 64 but in all there were 27 scores of below 70. Trevor Doolan took off the jackpot and NTPs went to Paul Bryon, Peter Orwin and John Brunt. The standings after 36 holes are on the website. Tim Sinnott leads by three shots over Scott Williams. The club champion will be

announced on Sunday. The field heads off at 11.30 and it would be great for members to be around to see the players come up the 18th hole in the afternoon. From the women’s room The women begin their championships this week and full fields have registered. Good luck to all players. The final round will be held on May 25. The women played par on Wednesday, with many players still adjusting to the new handicapping system. Cheryl Brunt was the Div 1 winner over Trudy Bath. In Div 2, Heather Hudler was the winner over Ruth Dickens. A countback was needed to separate

Nearest the pins were Ron Washington, Calvin Robbins, Damien Withers and Chris Duffield. It was resort golf on Sunday with perfect conditions and not many playing. Pete Griffiths won the men’s event with 5 up and David Adamson was runner up with 4 up on a countback from Ross Duff and Jarryd McGuane. Robyn Adamson won the women’s event with 2 up. Nearest the pins were Peter Wagner on the 3rd and 16th, Colin Foster and Arthur Jearum. Friday night is our Winemakers Dinner – check with the office for details and all are welcome.

Monica Hingston and Peg Moran in Div 3, and in Div 4 Dawn Jarrold won over Sally Torney. The jackpots went to Ros Lewis and Monica Hingston and Glen Petty, while Sarie Lowdon and Sue Booth took the NTPs. The Saturday Girls had a stroke round and Marg Joyner was wearing a big smile after turning in her card of 63 nett, a winner by eight shots over Cheryl Brunt. I am sure the new system will make some adjustments to Marg’s handicap! I would like to thank Gary and Sarie, our respective club captains, who do a lot of work behind the scenes to keep the championship events running smoothly. They put in many hours setting up draws and placing pins. We appreciate your efforts, guys.

Hard-fought results

IDEAL weather conditions for soccer resulted in a weekend of great soccer for supporters and some mixed results for Surf Coast teams. U12 boys: Surf Coast Blue 3 v Surf Coast Yellow 2 Very evenly matched teams with great team play for the full 50 minutes and many chances for both sides with acrobatic goal keeping from both sides. Congratulations to all players for a skillful and entertaining display. Under 12 girls: Surf Coast 2 v Surfside 2 The Surf Coast ‘Legends’ remain undefeated after 3 games having come from behind 2-0 at half time to strike two quick goals in the second half and level the scores against a strong Surfside team. U13 boys: Surf Coast 0 v Geelong Rangers 9 For the first half, the Rangers dominated, no doubt, they played excellent soccer. In the second half Surf Coast woke up and put the pressure on, with many good actions & team work but could not score. Under 14 girls: Surf Coast Blue 3 v Surfside 2 Surf Coast got off to a great start in the first half with two goals, only to have Surfside come back early in the second half with two of their own to equalise the score.In an exciting finish, the team set up Kirby Lambert who sent in a thumping goal, setting off an eruption of cheers and applause from the Surf Coast fan club. Under 14 girls: Surf Coast Yellow 1 v Kardinia 2

The Surf Coast under 14 Girls Yellow team gets better every week and is starting to shape up as a force to be reckoned with this season. Their match against Kardinia College under 14 girls at Connewarre could have gone either way. Under 15 boys: Surf Coast 0 v Breakwater 7 A tough game for the team, especially with team members being on holiday and a string of early injuries. A poor first half was followed by a much stronger performance in the second half. Under 16 girls: Surf Coast 3 v Surfside 1 Surf Coast under 16s Girls went to the top of the table with a hard-fought win over a gallant Surfside team. Surf Coast found it hard to break down some strong defence by the Surfside girls. Women: Surf Coast 2 v Lara 10 The Surf Coast women were thrashed 10-2 by Lara at home, with a lack of fitness proving to be their downfall in the second half. Men: Surf Coast 1 v Bell Park 0 Surf Coast made it successfully through its first derby game in the state leagues this weekend, grinding out a tough 1-0 win against 50-year-old local Geelong Club Bell Park. Men: Surf Coast GRFA men 1 v Barwon 3 It was an improved Surf Coast team that played well on Sunday, even though they lost 3-1 against a strong Barwon team under the new Bryan Smith management. Young Zac Craigen was Surf Coast’s best with an amazing scud missile free kick goal.

However, at a state level, the Department of Fisheries is at least providing the opportunity for local fisherman to have their say, so if you are interested please note the following. “Fisheries Victoria understands that consultation with the broader recreational fishing community is crucial for the effective management of our fisheries resources. These forums also provide a unique opportunity to build effective working relationships. Come and have your say about issues such as how your recreational fishing licence funds are spent and future ways to improve recreational fishing in Victoria.” The information session will be held tomorrow night (Wednesday) at the Torquay Angling Club at Fishermans Beach between 6pm-8pm.

Anglers forced to take action again

AS I HAVE reported previously, Recfish, the peak body representing Australia’s 3.5 million recreational fishers, has had to close due to lack of funding from the Federal Government. Recfish has been around for years now representing recreational anglers at a national level on recreational fishing issues. Anglers no longer have a peak body at a federal level to represent them and put their side forward to the government on issues that affect recreational fishing. With Environment Minister Peter Garrett proposing to lock up great swathes of Australia’s waters, the official representative peak recreational fishing body is no more. Recreational fishers now more than ever before need strong and professional representation. It is obvious that recreational fishing needs some form of representation at a national level. With that in mind a National expression of dissatisfaction – in the form of a petition – is being circulated. The petition is called ‘We Fish’ and it is a national campaign that will be delivered to all parties in Canberra.

State’s best teens take to the water VICTORIAN schools and students will go head to head this weekend to claim a spot in the Victorian state team at Phillip Island. The Australian Junior Titles are being held at Phillip Island in December this year and will see the top juniors from Australia head to the world famous Woolamai Beach. Six teams will compete in a tag-team format on Friday, which will see the top teams represent the state at the end of the year. This year’s schools are Sandrigham SC., Hailberry College, Oberon High School, Newhaven College, Wonthaggi SC and Dromana SC. The individual event will run over the weekend, seeing the state’s best surfers from schools compete for a spot in the state team. Local 16-year-old, Harrison Mann, from Torquay will be looking to make the state team once again to take on Australia’s best and hopefully make the cut for the Australian national team. After his recent run of great results on the Victorian circuit, he is a great chance to make the cut. Other notable surfers are Shyama Buttonshaw (Bells Beach), Tom Cole (Phillip Island), Lucy Ruffy (Kew) and under 16 girls state champion Kelly Laity (Sandy Point). The event will be held at Woolamai Beach (dependent on conditions) from this Friday through to Sunday.
