Family affair
The Lalor family from Apollo Bay are a hard team to beat when it comes to longboarding. The family (from left) Oscar, 16, Caroline, Brett, Luke, 14, and Adam, 11, were all set to compete in the recent State titles before a car accident sidelined Caroline, who was still suffering the effects of whiplash. Oscar led the charge for the family, taking out the under 18 state title. See full story Page 84.

GOOD PLAN Surf Coast Shire successful in having West Coast Business Park overlay removed
BY NATHAN HALE THE COMMUNITY will be able to have its say on any planning applications that come before Surf Coast Shire Council in regard to the West Coast Business Park. The shire was last week given the answer it was hoping for from Planning Minster, Justin Madden, after they requested a planning amendment on planning applications within the business park. The positive response from Madden now means that any business submitting a planning application for the park must allow council to advertise the application publicly – should council wish – and that the public will be able to make submissions for or against. Prior to council requesting the amendment, any
Surf Forecast
business was able to submit a planning application without it needing to be advertised publicly. The decision – which was made in only a matter of weeks – ensures the business park applications will be open to the community and all processes will be followed as transparently as possible. Following the announcement, State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, said the amendment was a win for the community. “On behalf of Surf Coast residents I have lobbied Minister Madden hard on this issue and attended a number of meetings with him raising their concerns,” Crutchfield said. “I am sure the Surf Coast community will welcome this decision by the Minister ensuring that they are part of the planning process. “I believe the Surf Coast community have every
right to be involved in the planning process and I encourage local residents to voice their support or concerns. “When the area was cleared for industrial use and sub-divided there was a specific planning overlay put in place to help do this. “That process was completed some time ago. “The minister has removed the now redundant overlay, which allowed for applications to be considered without requiring public notification.” Crutchfield was also quick to move to allay and fears that the Bunnings application – which has already caused much debate around Torquay – would also be subject to these new guidelines. “Closing this loophole means that Bunnings’ application must – like any prospective development – be subject to the normal planning process,” he said.
“This statutory process requires assessment periods and of course allows the community to have their say on the proposed development.” Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, who has worked with fellow councilors to ensure any planning applications throughout the shire are as transparent as possible, echoes Crutchfield’s thoughts. She also urged the community to take the opportunity to have its say on applications when they are open for submissions. “Council firmly believes the community must have a right to inspect and make submissions on planning applications throughout the municipality,” Coker said. “Planning applications must be dealt with in a transparent manner. They must also be seen to be dealt with in a transparent manner,” she said.

LAST week, 18 Surf Coast residents with grand plans, from 13 Surf Coast communities; took their first session of the Casuarina Project; a leadership programme designed to help local residents make a real difference in their communities. The Casuarina Project aims to help people with ideas for community projects, or a desire to make a difference on community issues develop the skills and networks, to make their ideas become reality. Previous graduates have been heavily involved in important initiatives like community gardens, Transition Town movements and the Surf Coast Energy Group. The investment council puts into the Casuarina Project each year reaps substantial rewards in the efforts of programme graduates; which is why my fellow councillors and I are such big supporters of the programme. I wish all participants in the 2010 programme the best for their future endeavours.
Men’s Sheds off and running
Anglesea and Winchelsea communities had some great news earlier this month with local MLC Gayle Tierney announcing $60,000 grants to get Men’s Sheds up and running in both towns. Men’s Sheds are great programmes that encourage camaraderie in local communities. The work in the sheds with people creating and repairing items can also benefit community groups and people in need. I congratulate both groups, who have worked closely with council towards this fantastic outcome.
Playground strategy on exhibition
Council has a number of documents on exhibition at the moment; one of which is a Draft Playground Strategy that will guide the development and
maintenance of playgrounds in the shire over the next 10 years. The draft strategy features a number of possible locations for new playgrounds, as well as guidelines for the maintenance of existing facilities. It’s important that interested community members, including young families that will use these facilities, have their say. So, do make your submissions, they will be accepted until Friday, June 11 by mail to Surf Coast Shire Playground Strategy, PO Box 350, Torquay 3228 or by completing the feedback form accompanying the strategy at www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au/onexhibition.htm
Responsible Gambling Awareness Week
With this week being Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, council is partnering with the Anglesea Baptist Church to provide education material and information on where to go for help and advice on gambling responsibly. If you or someone you know is battling a gambling problem, there is no better time than this week to reach out. Material will be available throughout this week at the Anglesea Opportunity Shop at 71 Great Ocean Road.
Public say on West Coast Business Park planning applications
Following the removal of the DPO3 planning overlay from the West Coast Business Park, the way has been cleared for the community to formally comment on any planning applications. The removal of this overlay means that Bunnings’ application, like all in the West Coast Business Park, will be assessed in line with council’s normal planning policy, with no decision to be made before June 3. So, if you wish to make a submission to the Bunnings Planning application – no. 10/0144, please do so. You can submit your submission to Surf
Coast Shire offices at PO Box 350, Torquay, 3228 with the application to be viewed at our Customer Services office, Grossmans Road, Torquay.
Torquay Bike Park to open
This Sunday, the Spring Valley Bike Park will open with a fun opportunity to bring your bike and helmet for a spin. The project has been the culmination of a lot of community and council effort, with wonderful support from the Torquay Rotary Club which contributed $7,000 to the project; providing muchneeded public space in a growth area of Torquay and a great facility for BMX and mountain bike riders. The park will open from 12.30pm on Sunday, May 23. Bring the family, enjoy a barbecue and maybe even take home a door prize.
Cheers to volunteers!
Lastly, a quick thank you to all the volunteers across the shire; including those I and my fellow councillors had the privilege of meeting at various functions as part of National Volunteer Week. Without the efforts of volunteers, there are many things on the Surf Coast that simply would not happen. I congratulate all who have been involved across a huge array of areas in the Surf Coast Shire. Volunteering is a great way of getting to know your community, a great way to meet like-minded people and a great way to practice or learn new skills. If you’re interested in volunteering on the Surf Coast, contact Janine Shelley at council on 5261 0587. Warm regards,

Proposal to Harvest Jan Juc Stormwater - Have Your Say Council is inviting your comment on an RACV proposal to irrigate the Torquay Golf Course by harvesting stormwater from a section of the council-owned pipe network that drains into the Jan Juc Creek. The proposal would involve harvesting around 100 megalitres of stormwater (or 47% of the total urban catchment run-off in a year of average rainfall). Council has sought an array of expert information from the RACV about the proposal’s potential impact on the Jan Juc Creek.

Theatre troupe needs your help BY NATHAN HALE TORQUAY Theatre Troupe has sent out a plea to the community for a space to hold its next production. The troupe, which has been in existence for a decade, is in danger of folding unless a suitable performing venue is found. The Senior Citizens Hall has played home to the troupe, however, with refurbishments set for the hall, the theatre troupe’s September production is in doubt. “The hall is definitely not available for our
next production in September, and we are feeling desperate for a performance space,� said the troupe’s Gay Bell. “We have looked at places all around; some aren’t available, some aren’t suitable, or the acoustics are no good. But is there maybe something we missed? “What can be worse than a group of desperate thespians? It may be that there is an empty warehouse or similar that would be an excellent place to stage a theatrical production. “Owners of such buildings are probably not aware that their buildings are suited to the purpose.�
Bell said the troupe would be looking to perform on September 2 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11, but would be happy to negotiate dates. The troupe would also need use of the space during July and August for rehearsals. Bell said the troupe was also disappointed the Surf Coast Shire had not identified the arts in its community and civic precinct. “Torquay is fortunate to have a talented, hard working group prepared to stage high quality performances for a local audience,� she said. “Audiences recognise this fact, but the plans
for the new Surf Coast council precinct make no mention of provision for an arts centre and performance area.� The troupe presented its first public performance in 2002 and since then has presented two full programmes of plays each year. It has been involved in the High Tide Festival for several years, is a regular entrant in the Anglesea One Act Play Festival, and takes part in the Froth and Bubble Festival. If anyone can help the troupe with a venue, phone Maryanne on 5261 4479.
Lorne masterplan on hold

MASTERPLANS for the upgrade and rejuvenation of Lorne’s Point Grey and Slaughterhouse sites have been put on hold. Great Ocean Road Coast Committee made the announcement last week, citing financial uncertainty in the wake of the global financial crisis as the contributing factor. In making the announcement, acting chairman, John Carlile said funding for tourism and related projects had been adversely impacted by the financial crisis. He was quick, however, to reiterate GORCC’s commitment to the future use and management of these iconic Lorne sites. “The Lorne masterplan has been put on hold until the economic climate improves sufficiently to support future public and private sector investment in the two sites, given the importance of ensuring any redevelopment is viable and achievable,� he said. Carlile acknowledged this decision would disappoint Lorne residents and other stakeholders
who had contributed significant input to the masterplan process last year, which culminated in the Place Essence Report released last September. “When the project recommences, it is anticipated that further consultation will occur to ensure community and stakeholder views remain current,� he said. The state government will appoint a new committee of management in July. “Once appointed, the new committee will review priorities, needs and opportunities. It is anticipated we will seek further support to enable the Point Grey and Slaughterhouse masterplan to recommence in the future,� Carlile said. The Lorne masterplan project was being managed by GORCC on behalf of a steering committee comprising key state government agencies – the Department of Sustainability and Environment, Tourism Victoria, Regional Development Victoria, Department of Planning and Community Development and the Surf Coast Shire.

THE CONTINUED push to turn the Anglesea CFA station into a multi-million dollar showpiece continues. Noel Foster, who is project co-ordinator for the fundraiser, said Anglesea CFA had already raised $370,000 of its $1.5million target to redevelop the station, but encouraged more people to get behind what was a meaningful community project. The current Buy a Brick fundraiser is one way people can offer a special contribution to the venture. The campaign allows members of the public to purchase a brick, which they have the option of engraving with a personalised message, which will then be used in the station’s upgrade. “It’s a chance for people to leave their legacy. Your name will be engraved in the history of the station,� Foster said. This rare opportunity to be ingrained in the history of the volunteer fire station has already attracted more than 160 brick sales, generating more than $50,000 for the station. “It’s a very exciting time for us,� Foster said. “When you buy a brick you are helping the CFA come a step closer to achieving our goal which is to be Australia’s first carbon neutral fire station, which will help volunteers at an operational level to create an environment where our children and community can be educated in fire behaviour.� The brigade has just completed the first stage of ‘Our Station our Future’, a development which was made possible by the Buy a Brick campaign as well as funding from a Federal Government Community Water Grant, funds raised from the Alcoa Anglesea CFA Hotshots Golf Day and support from the local branch of the Bendigo Community Bank. The development involved the implementation of a new, state of the art water system, including

Big win for Winchelsea BY ELEANOR WOODS
THE VICTORIAN Netball Association is honouring the success of Winchelsea’s new playing facilities and passion for the sport. Since the Winchelsea netball courts’ $180,000 makeover, player numbers have skyrocketed from 70 to 380. The massive leap in interest is a huge pat on the back for netball co-ordinator, Angie Mawson, who has been pushing for the facilities to be refurbished for the past decade. “The new courts are fantastic and have encouraged so many people to get involved,” she said. “We had no idea the community wanted this so much. The response has been absolutely huge.” Two new courts with synthetic non-slip surfaces, night lighting and perimeter fencing replace the town’s old, “severely run-down and unsafe”, facilities. Players now come from Anglesea, Moriac, and Geelong, to take advantage of “some of the best netball courts in Victoria”.
You have to pinch yourself and say, ‘This is Winch’,” Mawson said. The netball community will come together on June 5 in a celebration organised by the Victorian Netball Association to acknowledge the recent boom in the sport. Melbourne Vixens players, co-captain Bianca Chatfield and Brooke Thompson, will run a netball clinic drill training session before a 120-guest luncheon, including guest speakers and prizes, before heading to the courts to watch the top teams go head-to-head. “It’s a huge honour to be recognised like this. We are thrilled with the community response and the recognition from the Victorian Netball Association,” Mawson said. “I love netball. It’s such a great game and to see so many people playing is phenomenal.” The courts’ upgraded last year were predominantly funded by Surf Coast Shire and the club, with contributions from Winchelsea Community Bank and Winchelsea Lions.

Group raises Surf Coast’s future school concerns
THE PUSH for a standalone secondary school in Torquay took another step last week when more than 50 parents attended a meeting conducted by Concerned Parents About Torquay-Surf Coast Schooling (CPATSS). The newly formed group of concerned parents are seeking to gain more information and support broad community consultation about future schooling developments in the region.
While complimentary about the current running of Torquay P-9 College, the group said a standalone high school in Torquay is a necessity due to the continued growth in the region. The group said apart from the push for a high school, it was also looking for more clarification on the current zoning issues regarding schooling. “In line with community feeling, most concerned
parents are striving for a standalone secondary school, others are confused about zoning issues and communities outside of the immediate Torquay area need more information on what their education choices locally might be,” a spokesperson for the group said. “The principal states “Torquay College is a wonderful school” in last week’s school newsletter. CPATSS fully endorses this and we

Budget a winner, says Cheeseman DARREN Cheeseman has described the 2010 federal budget as a winner for local businesses and families. The Federal Member for Corangamite said more than 14,000 businesses throughout the electorate will benefit immediately from tax cuts and associated benefits, while working families will also be better off. “Workers are getting their third round of tax cuts in three years, and this tax cut will see a worker earning $50,000 pay $1,750 less in income tax in the coming financial year,” Cheeseman said. He said under budget changes all workers would get a superannuation contribution increase from 9 to 12 per cent.
“As well, every one of the 14,658 small businesses in Corangamite, including sole traders, partnerships and incorporated small businesses will immediately be able to deduct the costs of assets up to $5,000, and small business companies will also get a cut in the company tax rate,” Cheeseman said. Many Surf Coast and Bellarine schools also received further funding in the budget, this time to install solar power systems (photovoltaic cells) so they can take practical action on climate change. Surf Coast schools which received funding were Moriac Primary School $50,000; Winchelsea PS $49,856; Bellbrae PS $27,000; Lorne-Aireys P-12 $50,000;
Apollo Bay P-12 College $50,000. Liberal candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, however, raised concerns over the long-term effects of the budget. “The budget presents no real plan for the economy or the future for the region,” she said. “Instead, Labor’s waste and mismanagement will leave us with a $40.8 billion deficit this year and will put further pressure on interest rates. “The Labor budget lacks a strategic, long-term approach to the region’s needs. There is no real action, no hard decisions and just more debt and short-term political spending.”
Grand opening this Sunday TORQUAY’S newest bike park will be officially opened at Spring Valley Park this Sunday. The Surf Coast Shire has extended an open invitation to members of the public to attend the ceremony, which will be held at 84a Spring Valley Drive, from 12pm to 1.30pm and will include a free sausage sizzle and spot prizes. Mayor Libby Coker will officially
open the park, which has been built to accommodate riders of all abilities – from beginners through to advanced. The park will not host competitions, but it will test the skills of riders as well as for family picnics and gatherings. Future development at the park is expected include a playground, walking paths, landscaping and picnic shelters. The project’s $29,000 first stage
includes tracks and landscaping, including revegetation work to improve the environmental value of the surrounding area. The project was completed with $7,000 from the Torquay Rotary Club. A grant from Alcoa Anglesea’s ‘Partnering Stronger Communities’ programme will assist maintainance of the world-class facility and a $1,000 grant for tools and maintenance equipment.

A garden for everyone BY NATHAN HALE AIREYS Inlet’s newest place to meet and socialise will be officially opened this Friday by Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker. After much planning and organising, Community Garden 3231 will be launched this week. The garden, situated at 2 Fraser Drive, used the local postcode in its name to indicate it serves the communities of Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven, Moggs Creek and Eastern View. Through grants and donations from various sources – including council and Anglesea Community House – the
garden has come to fruition and has quickly gained a strong following. Already almost 50 members have signed up to be a part of the garden – which will include various planting areas – including a garden for children. Terrence Hoffman, who, along with other volunteers, including Graham Teague, Daryl Love and Susan Reilly, has seen the garden come to life, said it has so much to offer the community. “It will be a learning centre for those wishing to become more self sufficient by growing their own fruit and vegetables,” Hoffman said. “Skills in making compost, soil preparation, saving seeds and
7
propagating your own seedlings, seasonal planting, organically controlling garden pests and the related areas of making compost bins and raised garden beds will all be demonstrated. “A range of workshops, demonstrations and practical exercises will show members how to do these and many other things needed to make a successful home garden. “There will also be some raised garden beds for people who cannot bend down to garden, while other beds will have seats to allow for easy gardening without needing to kneel,” he said.
Aireys’ property price boom AIREYS Inlet has recorded the biggest increase in house values over the past two years, according to figures released by Surf Coast Shire Council. Over the two years to January 2010, house prices in Aireys Inlet rose by 18.8 per cent, closely followed by Anglesea, which recorded a 15.5 per cent increase. The figures come from an independent valuer who was commissioned by council as part of is requirement to revalue all residential, commercial and rural properties every two years under Victorian Government legislation. The valuer reported that:
• The average value of residential properties throughout the shire rose 10.6 per cent over the two years • Values across rural properties rose an average 14.4 per cent • Commercial/industrial property values rose an average 10.6 per cent. Mayor Libby Coker said that while the increase in the average value of people’s properties was a positive thing, it was important to understand this did not translate to a corresponding rise in the rates to be paid by an individual. Valuations are determined on the capital improved value of a property,
which includes land, buildings and other improvements. Information about each property’s value, and the rates and charges to be paid, will be included on the new rate notices to be issued in September. The notice also explains how to receive more information or question the valuation. RESIDENTIAL VALUATIONS Town Increase Aireys Inlet 18.8% Anglesea 15.5% Jan Juc 9.9% Fairhaven 9.0% Lorne 8.8% Torquay 8.2% Deans Marsh 8.0%
Susan Reilly and Daryl Love have been hard at work ensuring the community garden at Aireys Inlet is ready for its official opening on Friday.

Boost for local Men’s Sheds BY ELEANOR WOODS
SONS, husbands, dads, uncles and brothers will be happy to hear that the Surf Coast Men’s Sheds will be bigger, better and more readily accessible. The Men’s Shed programme, which gives men a space to be productive and contribute to their community while building on their own skills and knowledge, has been so well received that more government funding is being put into the scheme. Anglesea and Winchelsea have received funding for Men’s Sheds, while the Torquay shed is extending its hours due to ever-growing popularity.
Torquay
The Torquay Men’s Shed now has longer opening hours. As an initiative of the Spring Creek Community House, the doors will now be open from 9.30am until 12pm on Tuesdays mornings, as of May 18. This adds to the shed’s current Wednesday session, and will have a different focus. On Wednesdays the shed, at 151 Grossmans Road, will continue to concentrate on community projects. Tuesday will be a more relaxed day and will allow scope for the men to concentrate on their own projects. Shed manager, Ray Busby, said the added day was due to the high numbers of men attending the Wednesday session. “The Tuesday opening will not only ease the crowding pressures from Wednesdays but it will also attract new members who have been unable to make it on the Wednesday,” he said. Some of thes current projects include repairs to the Lions Club Sundial sign, community notice boards, and special orders for kids’ furniture and a coffee table.
Anglesea
Men in Anglesea will soon find themselves making new things and new friends after the town received a $50,000 grant to build a new Men’s Shed. Anglesea is one of 25 towns that was successful in the latest round of Men’s Shed Programme funding. Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney, said the new Men’s Shed in Anglesea would become a real community asset and encouraged local men to get involved. “Men’s Sheds link men to important information and services for a range of health and well being related issues, which they often don’t actively seek out themselves,” she said. “They also provide practical benefits for the wider community by involving men in local community projects – such as making benches for public parks or helping out in the local school.”
Winchelsea
The Winchelsea community has also been given $40,000 for its new Men’s Shed. Tierney said the grant was a great link for men to get involved with work and play. “Men’s Sheds are relaxed places for men where they can make new friends, talk things over, learn new skills and get involved in their local community, which has great benefits for their individual health and wellbeing,” Tierney said. Tierney also said the sheds were especially helpful for older people in keeping them motivated and engaged in society. In total, the state government has contributed $4million, since 2007 to establish Men’s Sheds across Victoria.

Guides search for guidance SURF Coast Girl Guides is on the lookout for a new leader. Located in Torquay, the Guides have a group of approximately 12 seven- to 11-year-olds and are also keen to get more girls between the ages of 10 to 13 years involved. The Guides are looking for a communityorientated person who enjoys working with girls in developing their self-esteem through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, or someone who has had a previous interest in Girl Guides and is ready to return to help empower the future leaders of the community.
Torquay Hire Service & Torquay Steel Supplies
The successful applicant would need to be available Monday evenings from 6pm-7.30pm, and no previous experience is necessary as full training will be provided – utilising funds received from the Torquay and District Community Enterprise last year. The new leader will join a team of leaders – currently a trained leader and two unit helpers, while recently one of the older Guides progressed to a role as junior leader. This progression is a great example of a young girl growing in confidence and self esteem through life skills developed by running of a variety of
activities during her years in Guides. Guides is a worldwide association which works to develop self-esteem, confidence and a sense of self-worth through a range of activities, to challenge young girls creatively, and carry out community service and become responsible citizens while developing strong personal values. The Surf Coast Girl Guides is proudly supported by the Torquay and District Community Enterprise and its associated sponsors, Bendigo Bank, Community Telco, GMHBA and the Surf Coast Times. For more information on the Girl Guides, phone Emma on 0438 005 299.
Water works under way WORK on Barwon Water’s $4million mains replacement programme is well under way in Torquay. Barwon Water deputy chairman, John McDonald, and project manager, David Vaughan, last week inspected work on a new pipe which is being installed in Puebla Street. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the month, with further work in Torquay in Grandview Drive and Parkside Crescent. McDonald said the replacement of aged or damaged pipes reduced the risk of failures, bursts and supply interruptions, and also protected water quality.
have relocated to 14 Beacon Blvd (Westcoast Business Park)
The work in Puebla Street is being undertaken using trenchless technology to limit disruption to residents. Rather than disrupt the surface over the entire length of pipe required, workmen can dig up to 100 metres apart and ‘feed the pipe’ through to the next join. “In a process considered to be industry best practice, the old pipe is expanded and cracked as the new pipe is drawn through,” he said. “This technique minimises ground disturbance and avoids having to dig up the entire length of old pipe.”

Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 scoops awards LORNE-Aireys Inlet P-12 College is celebrating after picking up three Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) Achievement Awards at last week’s ceremony. The school took out the Student Achievement Award – team achievement; the Teacher Achievement Award – programme development; and the Partner Achievement Award. The team award went to Alex Bell, Samuel Rayner, Gregory Duke, Jarrah TrethowanBall and James Friel for their efforts in putting together the world’s biggest sandcastle building competition last year. The teacher award went to Cherie Osta, for overseeing the programme, while local resident and Spudbar owner, Clayton Thompson, was presented with the partner award. Thompson donated his time to act as a business mentor throughout the project.
Meanwhile, this year’s VCAL students have been busy working with the community to reinvigorate the school’s neglected vegetable gardens. More than 30 volunteers grabbed tools and got stuck in before enjoying a morning tea of homebaked scones and a barbecue lunch provided by the students. Volunteers heard from local sustainability officer at the Fig Tree Community House, Andrew Lucas, about winter gardening and planning for spring cropping. The Plant a Seed project is a collaborative undertaking between the Lorne VCAL students and Wellsprings, an holistic health project formed in partnership with LorneCH Community Building Initiative, Fig Tree Community House, Lorne Community Hospital, community members and Surf Coast Shire.

Boost for Lorne Kinder
PRESENTS
Diana Patterson
LORNE Kindergarten has benefitted from the first round of the Surf Coast Shire’s community grants programme. The Kinder has secured funding to purchase new chairs and repaint the inside of the building. It follows on from them receiving a $5,000 operating grant in council’s 2009-10 budget. Meanwhile, Mayor Libby Coker said the shire is currently seeking prospective Family Day Care operators throughout the Surf Coast, including in Lorne. Family Day Care is a great option for child care as it provides care in a home environment, which is more comfortable for many children. Council’s Family Day Care co-ordination unit does a great job of helping carers get started through support and advice, as well as assistance in applying for start-up grants through the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. “I encourage anyone interested in providing a Family Day Care service on the Surf Coast to get in touch with council,� Coker said.

Aireys boardriders rule the waves BY ALISON APRHYS THE AIREYS Inlet Fire Brigade surfing squad swept the board at the Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games recently. Last month at the VPESG surfing event held at Phillip Island, they brought home a swag of medals. According to surf team stalwart Greg McKnight, the Aireys surfing squad has a huge bank of wave riding experience. “We have been surfing anywhere between 15 to 50 years,� he said. “While the team has been competing together for just three years, the members have
over 150 years surfing time between them. “We have a lot of fun at these events.� This year McKnight teamed with Ross Girvan, Mark Bean, Tim Bennett and Howard Hughes at the titles. A full list of results are: Howard Hughes: Gold in the over 50s longboard and over 50s shortboard. Greg McKnight: Silver in the over 50s longboard and over 50s shortboard.

Geelong Private opens new theatre AFTER extensive master planning, Geelong Private Hospital has opened an additional operating theatre, as part of a $7million upgrade and refurbishment of the regional health facility. Geelong Private Hospital manager, Luke Edwards, said the new operating theatre brought the total number of theatres to five, including four main theatres and one dedicated separate day theatre. “The new theatre is one stage of a major expansion and redevelopment at Geelong Private Hospital, providing a new sterilising department, increased storage and an expanded staff area for doctors and theatre staff,” he said. “The new theatre has been fitted out with state of the art equipment such as operating table, lighting and anaesthetic machine. “This additional theatre will provide the opportunity for the hospital to meet the health needs of the growing community and also provide operating opportunities for both existing surgeons to expand their operating capacity as well as providing new surgeons with operating times. “In order to facilitate the extra capacity this theatre will generate, Geelong Private will soon be commencing works on a brand new ward situated on the top floor of the hospital comprising of 17 single rooms, the majority with a great outlook over Corio Bay.” The redevelopment is part of a major refurbishment of the hospital, which has already seen the acute medical ward renovated over the Easter period, with the rehabilitation area to follow shortly. Simultaneous to the renovations and redevelopment within the hospital, external expansion is also under way. The new Geelong Private Hospital Medical Centre, located on the corner of Little Ryrie Street and Argyle Street, is nearing completion. “The specialists moving to this building are made up of those presently on site within Geelong
Louise Heunis, orthopaedic surgeon Robert Wood and Janene O’Brien in Geelong Private Hospital’s new theatre, which opened last week.
Private Hospital enabling the new ward expansion and those moving into the new complex from other medical rooms in town,” Edwards said.
“This new building will also provide well needed parking for these rooms and the hospital.” Edwards explained the major redevelopment
represented a $7million investment and would ensure Geelong Private Hospital had the capacity to grow both now and into the future.

New initiatives to boost health services
THE NEW ‘Medicare Locals’ service and ‘E Health’ initiative announced in the Federal budget are exciting health developments for the Surf Coast and Bellarine region, according to Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. “Medicare Locals is a very practical programme which will help to cover existing holes in health service delivery on the Bellarine and Surf Coast, particularly where we have a mixture of growth communities and an older population,� Cheeseman said. “What we are going to do is connect all of the separate GPs in the region, connect them with dieticians, other health professionals, connect
them with aged care providers, and make sure that they talk to each other. “If no-one’s open on Sunday, then we’ll actually be able to co-ordinate a roster, perhaps employ someone to do that Sunday work and make sure that we’re really bolstering the services that GPs can provide. “We’re using the existing Divisions of General Practice to turn into these new Medicare Locals.� “The whole idea is to provide better, more timely services, and to keep people out of hospitals where we can. “There’s a lot of work to be done in improving what we do outside hospitals. We haven’t been as good in Australia at that as in other areas
so we think we need to make that investment.� Cheeseman also said the new E Health was tailor-made for the region. “Last week we had the prime minister visit and see where we were at with our E Health initiatives. He was blown away, and it is clear that we are one of the leaders in this area in Australia,� he said. “The new fund will allow us to further develop our health information systems. “The idea is to set up a system whereby you’ll be able to look up your own health records the same way you could access your banking details online. You’ll be able to look up when your child had their vaccination and
whether you need to have another one. “It will be a very secure system that is going to be set up so that it’s entirely patient-controlled and the patient will determine who can see information. “The GP will still have their personal record for you. The pharmacist will have their information. What the Commonwealth will pay for is the spine of the system so that when you give permission you can actually download that information from all of the different health professionals.� The Federal Government is investing $17million in Medicare Locals and $467million in the new E Health initiative.
Don’t resist the resistance – try something new
5261 7438 Dr. Tanya Ball

Dr. Greg Connell Chiropractor
WE ALL know that exercises like running, cycling, swimming and walking are great for getting the weight off and keeping our cardiovascular system in good shape. There is, however, another form of exercise that has so many advantages yet not many people actually do it – it is resistance training. Despite what you might hear, resistance training (or weight training) won’t turn you into a bulging body builder and when performed properly it actually helps burn body fat as well as tone you up.
How, I hear you ask? Regular resistance exercise such as weight training or even using your own body weight will increase the amount of muscle mass that your body has. By having more muscle mass in your body, you will increase your metabolism as extra energy is required for the body to repair and maintain muscle tissue in the body. The good news is that you will be burning calories long after you have finished resistance training as the body uses energy to repair muscle
tissue when we are rest or asleep. Further to this, you will also change your body shape and start to lose those unwanted flabby bits! Resistance training is also ideal for people with diabetes as it helps to control and regulate blood sugar levels. You don’t have to join a gym or buy a heap of weights to do resistance exercise, either. You can get a great resistance workout by doing exercises simply by using your own body weight – a few sets of push ups, squats, lunges or even using pet food
tins as dumbbells will do. Remember to check with your GP if you haven’t exercised for a while or if you have any medical conditions before starting an exercise programme. Also, it is important that if you are lifting weights, to make sure you are doing the exercises properly to avoid injury. So it’s always best to check with a qualified trainer or gym instructor first. For more information, phone Andrew Humphris at Work It Off Personal Training on 0422 158 855.

For a better night’s sleep IF YOU or your partner are among the 40 per cent of Australian adults who snore, it is time to make a change and discover what people mean when they say ‘a good night’s sleep’. Geelong’s My Sleep Clinic is achieving amazing results – a 95 per cent success rate – with its innovative approach to stopping patients snoring and treating sleep apnoea.
My Sleep Clinic founder, Dr George Klein, who is a dentist specialising in the dental management of snoring and sleep apnoea, has assisted hundreds of people to sleep well and improve their relationships, which have been affected by embarrassing, constant snoring. He said many people did not understand why they snored and constantly felt tired or how easily
the problem could be treated. “Snoring occurs when there is partial airway obstruction during sleep and sleep apnoea involves when there is a total airway obstruction during sleep,� Klein said. “Sleep apnoea can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. It can affect your quality of life and lead to exhaustion from lack of sleep, lack of energy, difficulty with memory, depression and reduced sexual activity, so it is extremely important that it is treated. “Some 40 per cent of Australian adults snore, with 40 per cent of those people suffering sleep apnoea and 95 per cent of people with sleep apnoea are unaware they have it.� Geelong’s My Sleep Clinic has developed breakthrough solutions in treating snoring with a dental appliance, specially designed and fitted for each individual patient. “At My Sleep Clinic we provide dental sleep
devices which have been scientifically proven to be front line treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea,� Klein said. “Treatment is quick because it only takes two visits to make a fully customised dental device for immediate results. The device is comfortable, portable and long lasting, with patients – and their partners – enjoying quiet nights of deep, refreshing sleep. “Our satisfied patients have reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, and they enjoy a better life through greater vitality.� Klein is a member of the Australasian Sleep Association, the American Sleep Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Oral Design Organisation. My Sleep Clinic treatment is approved for health fund rebates and provides ongoing support. For more information, contact the sleep team today on 5273 4644.
After hours GP boost for Lorne LORNE residents will get better access to after hours GP services following a grant of $100,000 under the General Practice After Hours Programme from the federal government to the Lorne Medical Centre. “This is a good bit of news for Lorne and means the town will have better access to medical services,� said Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman. “It is something that will give Lorne people a bit of peace of mind, as we all know people
don’t just get sick between the hours of 9am and 5pm. “With a big surfing community where accidents do occur and many families with young kids in the nearby area it is really important to have extended hours for medical services. “It will also be a comfort for the many older retired residents in the area when they get sick.� General Practice After Hours grants of up to $100,000 over two years are available on a competitive basis to support after-hours services.
My Sleep Clinic in James Street, Geelong, has been assisting many people sleep well.

Letters to the Editor may be submitted to the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times by writing to P.O. Box 714, Torquay, Vic, 3228 or email: editor@surfcoasttimes.com.au or fax: 5264 8413.

Dear Editor, Surf Coast councillors won’t do what they are elected to do – make decisions on behalf of the majority of residents. They are indecisive about the RACV’s application to harvest stormwater (government policy) between 200 and 500 metres before it flows into the ocean – stormwater that is heavily polluted with petrol, oil, brake fluid, tar, grease, dog poo, cigarette butts and other discarded rubbish. Harvested no further than 500 metres from the creek mouth, not one drop of this polluted water off the streets would otherwise flow into the majority of Jan Juc Creek. The obstructionist, ill-informed and undemocratic minority lobbying against the harvesting proposal can rest assured that the flora and fauna along the majority of the creek will still be subject to vast volumes of polluted stormwater run-off from most Jan Juc streets. It must be embarrassing and belittling for councillors to learn that at approximately the point in the creek where the RACV would construct a facility enhancing in-stream habitat (council officer recommendation 1.4), that the Surf Coast council long ago erected a sign (itself polluted by graffiti) that reads ‘Stop swimming in rubbish. Help prevent stormwater pollution’. Having failed to heed the wishes of the majority on the footpath issue, the councillors now appear to be influenced by an ill-informed minority. Perhaps when they are voted out of office the current councillors could wander around and make themselves aware of the council-erected sign and the happenings in their community. Out of a job they would also be able to apply for the many positions created at the completed RACV construction, marvel at the enhanced beauty of the last few hundred metres of the creek and swim at a less polluted Jan Juc beach.

Dear Editor, Re Removal of Westcoast Business Park overlay by minister. If the residents of Torquay township enjoy the visual approach to our town of natural vegetation and trees,then now is the time to let your local councillors know that you do not want it any other way. The Planning Minister, Justin Madden, has agreed to remove the overlay applicable to the Business Park. The effect of this decision means that Bunnings must advertise any application for a planning permit in the local paper and give each of us the opportunity to object. The original intention for this Business Park was never to have a highly visible shopping precinct with a huge green shed emblazoned with logos and commercial promises to entreat our patronage. All this at the entrance to our township and close to the commencement of the iconic Great Ocean Road is repugnant to the eye and a travesty of proper planning guidelines. This park must be completely and properly screened from the Surf Coast Highway and so preserve the visual aspect we now enjoy.
If you share my view please contact the local councillors informing them of your attitude and make an objection to any advertised planning application. Peter Robinson Torquay
Screening the gateway to Torquay Dear Editor, The history of who said what and when in the saga of the Torquay Industrial Estate – now business park – is somewhat irrelevant now. It is here and the advertising rules that did apply might not apply anymore. The problem remains as to where it is situated at the entrance to town. We are fortunate to have the councillors we now have in the Surf Coast Shire, who clearly try to uphold the wishes of the people, even though some of them have not been in office for very long. As far as I am aware even council officers (some of whom have been serving us ratepayers for many years) have said all along that they will screen the industrial estate so that it will not be an eyesore. This has been the way since the whole idea started because the site is at the gateway to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road, and so it is the first and last impression of the town we all love so well. We should have confidence that this council will insist on implementing its own planning principles and ensure the screening is very effective, and spare everybody the need to constantly look at this oversight. The fact that the vegetation screening failed is not council’s fault. Attempts to grow it again will take a long time and it will need to be done properly. In the interim a ring road type screening will have to be put in place so that whatever development goes on in that estate will no longer be an issue, while the trees can slowly grow.

More support needed for Geelong Dear Editor, The Minister for Racing, Rob Hulls, and Racing Victoria Limited need to be more involved if Geelong Racing Club is to become a major provincial thoroughbred training centre. Rural Victoria is the nursery of thoroughbred racing, and Geelong, our major provincial city, has all the attributes to become a leading training centre, albeit with the injection of further resources. Racing is about owners, horses, trainers and jockeys and if satisfactory facilities are in place, the rest will follow. Unfortunately considerable frustration exists for trainers located off-site in the nearby training stables at Hawarth Court. Until three years ago trainers were able to walk their horses to the Geelong racecourse across Fellmongers Road at the designed and well lit crossing. This crossing was installed after the intervention from the then Racing Minister and former Member for Geelong North, Neil Trezise, who recognised the need to grow Geelong racing by having increased

stabling in Hawarth Court. After many years of successful operation without mishap, VicRoads closed this access on OH&S grounds. The now under-utilised Hawarth Court stables accommodate about 100 horses but have capacity to house over 200. Due to rising costs associated with transporting horses to the track, it is now becoming unviable for trainers to use these stables. The solution is to construct an underpass at the crossing site on Fellmongers Road for direct thoroughbred access to the racecourse. I urge the Racing Minister to visit Geelong trainers and to make greater training opportunities available for them to regain earlier viability. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region
Mission statement seems to be forgotten Dear Editor, Bellarine Bayside’s latest advertisement in the Bellarine Times (May 4) goes to great lengths to tell the community that it receives none of the municipal rate monies that residents pay to City of Greater Geelong. This paid advertisement once again tells us very clearly that because the larger part – not all – of Bellarine Bayside’s revenue comes from campers, it will therefore respond only to the concerns of campers. Yet the mission statement of the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee states: “Bellarine Bayside will protect and maintain all reserves under its jurisdiction in an efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable manner and promote tourism through the provision of high standard facilities for local community, tourists and holiday makers”. The words “protect and maintain” and “high standard facilities for local community” appear to be totally ignored, with the result that local residents/ratepayers are totally dissatisfied with this organisation. No wonder a petition has been presented to the Victorian Parliament, signed by more than 1,600 people, demanding that this organisation be replaced by one which will also show respect to the interests of residents, not just campers. The original purpose in creating this organisation was, through the provision of facilities for feepaying campers, to create funding for the proper maintenance of our foreshores, parks and public amenities therein. But under the current management structure, the interests of local residents are ignored, as evidenced by recent Bellarine Times’ publicity given to parents of young children who are very concerned about the unsafe playground facilities in the WG Little Reserve. This is only one of the many examples of Bellarine Bayside neglect which have been highlighted in the media recently. There is something fundamentally wrong when ratepayers have little or no say in the management of our foreshore, whilst our rates are paid to a council, which supposedly represents local residents, but which is effectively shut out of any control over our greatest community asset – the beaches and parks along our coastline.

FOR MOST Australians, improvements in the stock market have enhanced the retirement lifestyle they will be able to afford. But according to the latest AMP Retirement Adequacy Index, more 40 per cent of the workforce is still not saving enough for a comfortable retirement. The Retirement Adequacy Index (based on data from June 2009 and produced by Access Economics for AMP), compares Australians’ savings against a target set at 65 per cent of pre-retirement living standards. It also takes into account all three elements of the Australian retirement savings system: superannuation, the age pension and personal savings. The Index found around 4.5million Australians do not have sufficient savings for a comfortable retirement; an increase compared to six months ago. Among this group, the average shortfall is 9 per cent. From January to June 2009, super balances rose on average by 6.9 per cent per member, thanks to improvements in the Australian share market, which regained nearly half of the losses it suffered during 2008. Average super contribution rates held steady at 12.5 per cent. This was due to members aged over 55 who increased their contributions by 3.5 percentage points. Those aged under 40 decreased their super contribution rates. As a result, younger workers are now slipping
behind in the savings they need to fund a comfortable retirement, while comfortable retirement incomes are within reach of most older workers. The Retirement Adequacy Index showed no improvements in womens’ superannuation balances, with women remaining far behind their male counterparts. Female workers now face retirement incomes 17 per cent lower than male workers. Females aged between 30 and 39 are experiencing the greatest shortfall in superannuation. If you have any questions or would like more information about how you can plan to retire comfortably or any other financial matter, phone Coastline Financial Group on 5263 3964.

money matters
Why sacrifice? By ALAN D’ANDREA from Investment Banking Institute HERE IS a gift. Get up to $1,000 free from the Federal Government. Yes there are terms and conditions; you need to be employed, earn less than $61,920 per annum gross, and you need to match dollar for dollar the money, which has to go into your super fund. The government puts up to $1,000 into your superannuation in a co-contribution arrangement designed to promote savings for retirement for lowincome earners. There are other ‘gifts’ available too. Imagine getting the Australian Taxation Office to help fund your retirement plans. Here are some more ideas: Savings for retirement can be boosted by using money that would otherwise go to the tax office by entering into a salary sacrifice agreement. According to ATO salary sacrifice arrangement arises where employees agree to give up part of their income that they would otherwise receive as salary or wages in return for their employer providing benefits of a similar value into the employee’s superannuation fund. The benefit is they ‘sacrifice’ high tax dollars and their super fund pays a low contribution tax rate. The tax saving is locked away in the super fund. By locking away more money in super you not only save tax on earning the income, but on the interest or returns generated from the investment of the funds. Thus an employee is legally able to sacrifice a portion of their annual gross salary as additional contributions into superannuation to increase the amount contributed. For the employee the salary sacrificed is not assessable income and they are taxed only inside the super fund. The employer contributions resulting from the salary sacrifice are assessable income of the fund and 15 per cent tax is payable. Your financial advisor can help you. Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice and you should see your financial adviser to see whether a salary sacrifice agreement or government co-contribution scheme would be suitable for your circumstances.

Celebrating Education Week GEELONG, Surf Coast and Bellarine government schools are celebrating Education Week and the range of quality opportunities and successful learning outcomes they offer children and young people throughout the region. Regional Network Leader, Robyn Jeffrey, said the Victorian networking model fostered a climate where each school could individually and collectively improve, cited around the world as best practice.
Oscar, Lorcan and Alice are three of the Grade 5 and 6 students at Queenscliff Primary School who participate in the Netbook programme and each has their own laptop.
Teaching for Understanding
TAKE the time to explore Queenscliff Primary school and discover the benefits of 21st Century learning to prepare your child for the future. Students at Queenscliff enjoy modern, specialist facilities, small class sizes and the opportunity to excel in a warm, caring environment. Principal Peter Martella said the curriculum has been developed around a Teaching for Understanding framework to empower students to demonstrate a sound understanding of what they learn across every aspect. “The balanced, talented staff includes a mix of experienced and young teachers at the forefront of emerging trends in education, who all know each students and their strengths,” he said.
“Every student is encouraged to develop investigative skills and prepare them for world with information that is relevant to children of the 21st Century. “No child is overlooked and every student has an opportunity to accelerate in their learning. We also have one simple school rule that works successfully and is applied in all classes: ‘Safety first – respect always’.” The growing school has a unique environmental learning precinct, including a new purpose-built environmental centre, outdoor learning space overlooking Swan Bay, sustainable vegetable garden, propagating facilities and chicken pen. “We have a well-equipped arts centre and a high ratio of one computer
to every two students, with access to the latest IT equipment ranging from film-making lighting to video and digital cameras,” Martella said. “There is a strong sense of community between parents, students and teachers and we are fortunate to have a dynamic school council which is dedicated to further developing our school grounds and facilities. “Our enrolments are increasing because families are taking a tour of our school to see what we have at Queenscliff Primary School and what we can offer their children.” An open day to showcase the school community is planned on Saturday, August 14 and tours of the school are available now by contacting the school on 5258 1696.
Did you know… Torquay College The learning core of Torquay College is a focus on individual learning, with teachers planning a curriculum that genuinely responds to individuals. New learning tools include development of a wood-fired oven onsite, integrating multiple learning areas, a new suite of iMacs, and the newly opened enviro centre, which is used every day and awaiting installation of environmental monitoring to empower students to track resource use throughout the college. Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 College Continuing its proud tradition in surfing, the college participated in the Victorian Secondary Schools Surfing Association State finals at Phillip Island last week. The Lorne campus Student Representative Council has initiated a ‘Shades for Aids’ fundraising day to raise money to support children and their families affected by Aids. All students are encouraged to wear sunnies on this day and donate a gold coin.
Belmont High School Belmont High School has developed a special relationship with the Geelong Rats of Tobruk Association. The Geelong association’s banner was formally presented to the school’s students in 2009 to keep in our care, and to march with in ANZAC ceremonies on behalf of the Geelong ‘diggers’. This is an important relationship, which celebrates the achievements of our Rats, unites school leaders and community, and will survive well into our history. Oberon High School Oberon High School students are embarking on the trip of a lifetime to India, trekking to the base of the Himalayas and completing community projects in country villages. All the participants have engaged in an 18-month programme of fundraising and planning. Oberon High School focuses on developing the leadership skills of every student. Programmes such as the World Challenge trip to India and our involvement in the RACV Energy Challenge bring these skills to the fore as each student takes responsibility for an aspect of the event. Grovedale Secondary College Grovedale College Sports Academy is now supplemented by a state-ofthe-art fitness centre, accessible to students during the day with community memberships available. This supports the Sports Academy Programmes operating through Years 7-12, with specialist coaching streams in netball and AFL from Year 9 coached by James Kelly/ Steve Johnson and Susan Meaney.

Rainbows for the region LOCAL charity Rainbow Riders has helped hundreds of local children build confidence, communication skills, improve relationships and build self esteem across almost a decade of operation. Rainbow Riders is an equine-assisted growth and learning centre that provides a unique, long-term, client-focused day programme for disadvantaged young people. The programme aims to improve self-esteem and confidence, family and peer relationships and social skills, and encourages healthy choices, behaviour modification, and anger management. Sessions are available through the remainder of 2010 to local families to support the growth and development of primary aged children who need that little extra – beyond the family environment – care and nurturing. The Rainbow Riders programme develops children’s real potential in a safe, supervised environment. Situated on a 20-hectare property on the Barwon Heads Road between Geelong and Breamlea, the not-for-profit children’s charity uses horse therapy – and all the related farm activities that involves – at the core of its programme. Children attend for periods of one hour, three hours and even full day sessions if appropriate. A number of children have their time at Rainbow Riders incorporated into their school or care program.

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

WRECK OF THE ‘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.

Enjoy the Celtic craic A HOST of emerging artists will take centre stage at next month’s Celtic Festival in Portarlington. With an assortment of acts from Ireland, Scotland and home grown talent, the festival – which will be held from June 11-14 – is shaping as the best ever. Festival director, Una McAlinden, said she was proud to be assembling the biggest collection of Celtic culture in the land, which she described as an enormous, but exciting, task. “This year is going to be massive. We’re busy putting together the biggest programme we’ve ever had,” McAlinden said. “There’s going to be more acts and more fantastic venues operating for longer as we cater to our evergrowing audience. “Our programme includes a record number of young performers this year. “We are passionate about supporting emerging younger artists so we feature lots of Celtic bands with crossover styles.” The National Celtic Festival 2010 is Australia’s biggest celebration of Celtic music and culture. This year festival-goers will enjoy a bumper programme – the largest in the festival’s history – including full-scale concerts, intimate jam sessions, special events, competitions and workshops beginning on Friday night and running right through until Monday afternoon. Hundreds of performers from more than 60 acts will represent the cream of Celtic musicians, singers, poets, dancers and storytellers from across Australia and around the world. Heading the line-up of international talent is hot young Irish group Beoga, making its Aussie debut at the festival; one of the world’s best loved singer/songwriters Eric Bogle is returning by popular demand; award-winning solo artist John Spillane (Ireland), rebel singer/songwriter Gary Óg (Scotland) and, fresh from the dark heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar district, The Craic Hooers (Ireland). The Australian contingent will include the everpopular Bushwackers, the traditional sounds of Conundrum, The Borderers, Fiddler’s Feast, The Go Set, Pearl, The Rumjacks, Cornerbrook, Bhan Tre and much more. Another exciting element of the programme will be a series of instrument-themed concerts. Harpists will gather together for ‘Pulling on my harp strings’; while fiddle players, pipers and singers will also join forces for these unique concerts. Mostly made up of young virtuoso musicians, each promises to be both an informative and

magical musical experience. “The concerts will be hosted by some of the festival’s best known musicians and singers,” McAlinden said. “They will be chatting to the players throughout the performance so it will be wonderfully up-close-
and-personal for the audience.” On Saturday the lightening fast fingers of the greatest fiddle players in Celtic music will be on show at the festival’s own Golden Fiddle Awards. Scottish pipe bands will perform en masse on the Sunday in what is sure to be an awesome spectacle,
followed by workshops, competitions and a finale provided by the lords of Celtic rock, Claymore. For phone bookings call GPAC on 5225 1200. For online bookings, further information, or to view the programme visit www.nationalcelticfestival. com

Welcome to paradise
YOU’VE got to hand it to winemaker Doug Neal, who in the last few years has resurrected a local winery from obscurity into one of the most exciting new cutting-edge producers of our region. Here are some recent comments by the highly esteemed wine writer, Jeremy Oliver, who succinctly lets us know just where this winery stands and where it’s heading” “Doug Neal has transformed the rebirth of what began as Moorabool Estate into one of the most inspiring labels in Victorian wine: Paradise IV. “Largely based around Shiraz, the vineyard’s collection of reds marries pure, beautifully presented fruit with fine, appropriately seasoned oak and the finest, crunchiest of tannin backbones – all at old-fashioned modestly alcoholic strengths. “The wines are rustic, unashamedly reductive and deliciously complex, delivering a line of purity and elegance before a finish of length and refinement. “They will help to redefine Australian Shiraz into the next decade and beyond. Of Grand Cru-like strength and stature, the deep, brooding Chardonnay requires patience and time.” I first tasted the wines when they were known just as Moorabool Estate (established 1988 on land that was originally cultivated by the legendary James Henry Dardel circa 1848) – from this vineyard about six, maybe seven years ago and to be truthful, I wasn’t overly impressed. I remember them as big, robust, yet clunky/simple wines choc full of over-ripe fruit and harsh tannins… and that was it essentially. The ‘re-invigoration’ via Doug Neal’s involvement since 2006 has seen a total revamp with huge improvements in all respects, from lower cropping levels and new trellising in the vineyard to minimal intervention in the winemaking process (more traditional approach), through to new bottle shape, a sense of history with the labelling etc. I really admire what Neal’s trying to achieve here – finer texture and flavour, true complexity, lower alcohols, savouriness, ripeness but not fruit ‘sweetness’, suppleness, balance, more expression that reflects the site (terroir), I could go on and on… pretty much all the things that set great wines apart from mere ‘good’ wines. Neal brings to the table an enviable apprenticeship working under the stewardship of none other than Rick Kinzbrunner for 13 years at the iconic ‘Giaconda’ winery up in Beechworth – undoubtedly one of Australia’s upper echelon wine producers. His new 2008 releases are garnering massive kudos and recognition among the industry cognoscenti and are well worth discovering if you haven’t already.
Volunteers spin 100 years of good yarns GEELONG’S National Wool Museum last week honoured five volunteers who have each dedicated more than 20 years of service to the museum. Norma Dessent, Everett Foster, Noel Balaam, Ruth Pope and Alison McCook were all honoured at a special morning tea for all 70 of the museum’s regular volunteers during Volunteers Week. Dessent has volunteered at the museum since it opened in 1988, while Foster, Balaam, Pope and McCook have all reached the 20-year milestone in the past 12 months. City of Greater Geelong portfolio holder for arts and culture, councillor Barbara Abley, said the legion of volunteers were the heart of the museum. “These dedicated men and women give their time to provide visitors with guided tours and great stories about their lives in and around wool,” Abley said “They provide an invaluable service, both behind the scenes and with the public, conducting tours, hosting school groups, explaining exhibitions, assisting with activities and much, much more.” The volunteers’ combined centenery of service coincides with the 100th birthday of the museum’s grand centrepiece, its Axminster Jacquard carpet loom.
The ever-popular Axminster Jacquard carpet loom, which this year celebrates its 100th birthday, produces a Manor House Rug.
The still-operational loom is one of the museum’s most popular attractions. The iconic gripper-type loom uses a card punch computer, first invented in the 1800s, to still produce carpet to this day. Demonstrations by the museum’s qualified loomsmen are a highlight of any visit and visitors can purchase a unique Manor House Rug, produced on the century-old loom, in the museum shop. Loom demonstrations are held regularly at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong. Entry costs are $7.30 for adult, $5.90 for concession, $3.65 for children and $20 for a family of two adults and up to four children. For more information on the museum, phone 5272 4701.

Get creative for the beanie festival Tuesday 18 May 2010
BY ELEANOR WOODS IF YOU are nutty about knitting or keen on a beanie then you will be warmed to know the annual Torquay Beanie Festival is not that far away. The winter festival was launched last week at Spring Creek Neighbourhood House in a bid to attract beanie makers to get involved in the event, which will run from July 23 to August 1. One of the organisers, Jan Hale, is encouraging people of all ages to submit a piece for the display, saying the festival was a great chance to get involved in the community and help “light up Torquay�. “There are so many wonderful styles and creations. Get involved and get creative,� Hale said. “You can work on your own or join a local group.� The festival, which showcases woolen wares in shop windows on Torquay’s Gilbert Street, gives Surf Coast residents the opportunity to see the variety of intricate and wacky works that are being created in the region. Hale’s currently working on a dreadlock beanie and said there was
no limit to what could be created. Colour, warmth, creativity and quirkiness all came into play when making beanies, she said. All sizes and styles are being sought as well as entrants for the Beanie Competition. “It will be great. It will bring heaps of people into the town,â€? Hale said. Some of the works on show in the festival will be sold, while many others will be donated to charities. With the festival just over two months away, it is time to get knitting now. Beaut Beanies meets on Tuesdays at 10.30am at the Uniting Church, in Torquay’s Anderson Street. The Spring Creek craft group meets on Wednesdays at 10.30am, at Spring Creek Community House in Prince Street. Pear Tree Knit group meets on Wednesdays from 7pm-9pm at the Pear Tree CafĂŠ in Gilbert Street. Tess Cassar, Jan Hale, and Judith Mcphail hold lovingly handmade beanies for the annual festival, which was launched last week.

Stories from the Antarctic TORQUAY Books will be hosting an evening with two local authors this Friday night. Spring Creek Community House will host the evening, which will feature Diana Patterson in conversation with John Bartlett, at 7.30pm. High adventure and high achievement go hand in hand for Patterson, a former chief executive officer of the Surf Coast Shire. She was the first woman to head an over-winter team as officer in charge at Australia’s Antarctic base at Mawson, and she also spent a summer season as station leader elect at Casey station in 1988. She said that after 22 years she has given in to the urgings of friends and written of her experiences in her new book, The Ice Beneath My Feet – My Year in Antarctica. Patterson said she was inspired by a number of strong women as role models in her school years and became a top performer in hockey, softball, athletics, swimming and basketball. A slide night by her Mildura headmistress, Enid Borschmann, who had been a chef at Macquarie Island, planted the seed for her to aim at joining Australia’s Antarctic team. Persistence, plus her organisational skills, fitness and high country skiing, bushwalking and camping experience, eventually paid off in her applications to lead an Antarctic team. “It was an eight-day sea voyage from Hobart and
Diana Patterson during her time at the Antarctic base.
it was really exciting to be sailing to the bottom of the world,� Petterson said. “We started to see ice, then icebergs: awesome, just awesome! “I discovered I’d got the best job in the world.� Patterson said there were challenges in the dynamics of ensuring a productive, harmonious workplace with 24 specialists in their fields cooped up together, with the hazards including the isolation, blizzards where you could get disoriented and lost
within metres of a base hut, and the risk of accidents. Among highlights of her time at Mawson were three months spent away from base on tractor trains, counting penguins and on a 350km dog sled trip camping out on islands and the shore each night. Patterson now divides her time between her home in Anglesea and in Christchurch, New Zealand. Cost for the evening is $10 and bookings should be made with Torquay Books, phone 5261 2311.
Spanish works go on show at Tigerfish A TOUCH of Spain will come to Torquay with an exhibition of works from Spanish photographer, Alberto Sanchez. Tigerfish, located at Bell Street, will display Sanchez’s works from this week. Originally from Aranda de Duero in Spain, Sanchez now lives in Byron Bay – where the lifestyle and freedom of the surrounds helps to whet his creative appetite. Sanchez sees photography as a creative art form that is not constricted to the digital medium, where he photographs, prints, hacks and re-invents his own photographs to give them his unique flavour. He has won numerous awards for his photography and a number of his works will be on display – and for sale – at Tigerfish. For more information, drop into Tigerfish at Shop 12/15 Bell Street, Torquay, or phone 5264 7471.

Classic tragedy gets a makeover WITH a cast of hot young actors and a thrilling story about love and passion, Shakespeare’s R&J is a bold new interpretation of a classic Shakespearean tragedy. A hit worldwide, Shakespeare’s R&J has played more than 400 performances in New York and won the prestigious Lucille Lortel Award. The Riverside Productions’ season of Shakespeare’s R&J opens at GPAC’s new Playhouse theatre this month. Set in the repressive atmosphere of a Catholic boys boarding school, four students secretly explore Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for their own enjoyment. At first it’s just for laughs, but as the young men discover the themes of secret and forbidden love, they gradually immerse themselves in the roles. “I wanted to get to the essence of what I think Shakespeare is: passionate, violent, thrilling and theatrical,” said playwright, Joe Calarco. “By cutting the cast to four guys we’ve been able to explore the way men interact and how they view women, sex and masculinity.” This fascinating, insightful and beautifully crafted play was acclaimed in its 2008 Riverside season. Now by popular demand, director Craig Ilott (Hedwig and The Angry Inch) returns to bring Shakespeare’s R&J to stages around Australia,
including Geelong. The production stars Gareth Holcombe, Tom Stokes, Julian Curtis and Ben Gerrard. Shakespeare’s R&J will be in The Playhouse

Vic Hunt award up for grabs
Tuesday 18 May 2010
THE BACKSTREET Blues Band will be special guests at the Sleepy Hollows Blues Club this Sunday for one of the club’s biggest evenings of the year. The five-piece band will make a guest appearance for the announcement of the seventh Vic Hunt Memorial Music Award. Hunt was well known in the Geelong area as well as throughout Victoria and interstate. He loved all music – rock, jazz, folk, but particularly blues – and was one of the founding members of the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club in 1994 and was inaugural president for three years. He died on May 19, 2003 while white water rafting in Tasmania. Hunt played with many bands over the years, including the Blue Mountain String Band, Grizzly Brothers, 4.3 Bandinos, Momma Don’t Allow and Mallee Roots as well as many other blues, jazz and Irish bands. He was also a mentor to many young local
musicians and would encourage them to come up and play beside him. To commemorate his life and philosophies, his family and friends established the Vic Hunt Memorial Music Award to encourage those who are trying to make a go of a musical career and deserve an encouragement award. This year, entries have arrived from nonprofessional musicians and songwriters of all ages and include all genres of music. Final judging and announcement of the winner will take place at a live performance of entrants at the seventh annual Memorial Tribute Night this Sunday. After many years of providing great blues and loads of fun, the Backstreet Blues Band decided to take a break, but were only to pleased to return to the blues club for this important evening. The band consists of Graeme Lear (guitar, saxophone and vocals), Kelvin Plumb (guitar, harp and vocals), Craig Chiller (bass and vocals), Gary Marshall (keyboards) and Steve
Minutoli (drums). They have appeared at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and the Maldon Folk Festival, among many others. Their blend of fast-rocking blues together with melodic ballads has people up on their feet and dancing whenever they perform. The fun they have on stage is infectious and you can be assured of a good time with the band on stage. The jamming will start at 3pm, so bring your instruments, followed by the famous barbecue. Final judging and announcement of the winner will take place after a live performance of entrants at 6pm, followed by the Backstreet Blues Band. The Sleepy Hollows Blues Club is situated at the Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers Street, Geelong. Entry is $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers. For more information, phone 0434 126 644.

PUBLIC NOTICE - CORANGAMITE CMA
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY CoastalTender - Call for Expressions of Interest open
Burn Off Grass Tree Park
A new coastal incentive program known as CoastalTender has been funded by the Australian Government to implement long term protection and enhancement of the coastline within the Corangamite region. This new funding will support land managers in the management and conservation of native vegetation and habitat on properties (>1ha) along the Corangamite coastline, including revegetation with indigenous species. The project will cover the entire coastline for the Corangamite region, as well as areas surrounding the Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar sites which fall within the Corangamite region. The current budget for the first round of CoastalTender is approximately $500,000. It is open to private land owners, local government shire councils and foreshore committees of management to undertake works on land that they directly manage. Land managers who formally express interest in the scheme will receive an obligation-free site assessment, and a draft management plan. The plan will contain a vegetation assessment and provide advice on management options. Following this, the land manager will be invited to submit a tender nominating the bid price they are seeking in order to undertake the management actions as outlined in the management plan. Tenders will then enter a competitive tender evaluation process. Once successful tenders have been determined, a five year agreement based on the agreed actions included in the bid will be signed. Land managers can also opt to include long-term protection commitments in their agreement, which will improve their competitiveness. Under these agreements, the land manager will receive financial incentive payments. Only actions that are over and above those required by current responsibilities under existing arrangements and legislation will be eligible for support. For further information, and to register an Expression of Interest, please telephone Polly Matthews on 0417 511 999 (Monday to Wednesday) or visit the website at www.ccma.vic.gov.au – be quick because oversubscription in the scheme may result in later registrations missing out.
Government Funded Courses NOW available!
Surf Coast Highway, Torquay Wednesday 19 May (weather permitting) The public is advised of an intended environmental burn in the Grass Tree Park Nature Reserve, at the corner of the Surf Coast Hwy and Messmate Rd.

MAY 18 - MAY 24 2010 Saturn (your ruling planet) and Jupiter are at odds this week so it will be difficult to get the ratio right between work and play. Being a workaholic is not the answer! Make sure you set aside plenty of time for rest and relaxation – especially on Sunday. Balance is the key. Single Goats - don’t spoil your romantic chances by being too business-like.
Avoid the temptation to fly off the handle this week – especially with testing teenagers and fractious friends. Steer clear of controversial topics, as you’ll have trouble hiding your true feelings. The weekend favours tackling practical DIY projects as you make your home a more cozy, comfortable and creative place to be.
Voluptuous Venus sashays into your sign (until June 14) so prepare to be at your flirtatious best as you dazzle others with your ample Cancerian charms. Attached Crabs – if you try to control or manipulate your partner, you’re in for a tumultuous week. Singles – now’s the perfect time to jump into the pool of love. The water’s just fine!
Librans love luxury, but do you really need a lot of material glitz and glamour to make you happy? Perhaps it’s time to downsize your lifestyle? For the sake of your stretched bank balance – and the environment. Be inspired by birthday great Bertrand Russell “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.�
Taureans are a tenacious lot – but you can also be incredibly intractable, as your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes become set in stone. With Mercury in your sign (until June 10) you’re even more stubborn than usual. Take on board the wise words of Edward de Bono (born on May 19) “If you never change your mind, why have one?�
Don’t accept things at face value – or be seduced by false flatterythis week. Look beneath the surface gloss (and sugar-coated words) to discover what’s really going on. Mighty Mars is charging you up with extra energy so make sure you utilise the power surge constructively. Friday favours independent projects, freedom and adventure.
‘Keep moving forward and don’t look back’ should be your current mantra. With proactive Mars in your career zone (until June 7) you’re full of initiative as you take the lead at work. If you are looking for employment you need to be one step ahead of the pack, which means searching out jobs before they are advertised.
You’ll feel super idealistic this week, as you strive to make the world a better place. Don’t get so carried away that you forget your nearest and dearest though. Sometimes it’s best to start your charitable work in your own backyard! Love at first sight is likely for some singles – but is it really love, or just a brief and thrilling fantasy?
Twins are fabulous talkers but you’re not so good at listening. This week’s stars encourage you to slow down and observe what’s going on around you, as you pay close attention to what other people are saying. As the Sun shimmies into your sign, it’s your time to shine and show the world how talented and versatile you really are.
No one will be able to live up to your incredibly high standards this week, and loved ones won’t appreciate you pointing out their shortcomings (at regular intervals!) Try to keep criticism – no matter how ‘constructive’ – to yourself. Some Virgos will enjoy planning a future holiday, or communicating with a loved one from overseas.
Sassy Sagittarians are in a sunny mood this week, but what’s wrong with everyone else? It will take a lot of effort and enthusiasm to get others going (especially on the weekend) so perhaps it would be best to stick to solo projects. If you combine passion with persistence, then you’ll have a wonderful week.
Expect your creativity and intuition to go through the roof, which is good news for artistic and spiritual souls. But don’t overdo it, otherwise you’ll slip into fantasy-land where problems are avoided; nothing gets done; and you could be taken for a ride. Sometimes there’s a fine line between being romantic and being unrealistic!.

Tucker takes marathon GEELONG’S Matt Tucker continued his natural progression with the Great Ocean Road Marathon by taking out the 45-kilometre showpiece on the weekend. Tucker (pictured left) had won the Marriner’s Lookout 6.5-kilometre run in 2005, the Paradise 14-kilometre race in 2007 and 2008 and the 23-kilometre half marathon. Continuing to step up in distance, the 30-year-
old maintained his proud record with a strong victory over Scott Rantall in the time of 2 hours, 29 minutes and 41 seconds. Yared Temesgen finished third with defending champion, Kenya’s Charles Muturi, fourth home. Muturi’s effort was outstanding considering his did not leave Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport until 2am on Saturday. Tucker’s victory is the first time an Australian

has taken out the men’s event. Meanwhile, Northern Territory’s Lucie Hardiman was an impressive winner of the women’s marathon. Hardiman had 10 minutes to spare at the finish line over Kristen Wyatt, with Isobel Bespalov third. More than 4,500 competitors enjoyed the brilliant weather over the two days of the carnival.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB
WITH MARGOT SMITH
THE PENNANT season is drawing to a close and we have three teams well positioned for a win, if their form continues. Our teams in divisions 3, 4 and 7 are all on top of their competitions and all won 3/2 this week. Division 3 defeated East Geelong at Portarlington, division 4 defeated Curlewis at Lonsdale and division 7 defeated Colac on their home course. Meanwhile division 1 had a bye and need another win to ensure they continue in the competition next year. The Sunday girls had another win 3/2 and are second on the ladder. With only one round to play they need an alignment of the planets to win the flag. Certainly not out of the question but not sure whether the alignment is scheduled for next Sunday.
TORQUAY GOLF CLUB
WITH MIKE BRADY
Wednesday’s stableford event produced some excellent scores. In div 1 Chris Houlihan with 40 points beat Andrew Groom 36. The div 2 winner was Ashley Cormick with 39. R/up was Patrick Cormack 38. Ron Hedley with 41 produced the score of the day in div 3 with Ian Sweet r/up on 40. NTPs went to Angelo Facchini, Barry Leith and Andy Clark. Jackpot winner was Richard Mierzejewski. Saturday’s conditions could not have been better for the third round of the championships. Andy Clark with 67 took out div 1 from Milton Sceney 68. In div 2 Garry Fletcher with 70 defeated Ian Dendle on c/b. In div 3 Peter Mahony with 68 also won on c/b from Keith Marriner. The div 4 winner was Graeme
It also seems that one of the teams is going to be issued with compasses so they can get around the course in the right order. It is okay provided you only play each hole once – but not recommended. Midweek results The men were back to individual competition this week and some exceptional scores were recorded. Frank Fowler, with a current handicap of 1, scored 42 points to win A grade – that is 5 under par and one of the best rounds of the year. Colin Patterson won C grade with 46 points which is 10 under his par, and Peter Hester won B grade with 42 points. Runners up for the respective grades were Peter Jones with 37 points, Ron Evans with 39 points and Gary Shugg with 37 points. NTPs were Frank Fowler on the 3rd and 16th, Kent Taylor
Riches with 67. R/up was Paul Harvey 68. Cock of the Walk which is the best nett score for the day was won by Andy Clark 67. Ntp’s were taken out by Eric Black, Don Matheson and Bob Gough with the jackpot going to Glenn Mifsud. Congratulations to the winners in all grades of the championships. Results were not available as of printing but can be accessed on the web site or on the notice board. From the women The 2010 Torquay Golf Club Ladies Championships got under way this week with the first of three stroke rounds. Unfortunately winter also made an appearance on the day and not only was it cold, but that old Torquay wind that we remember so well was about. Despite the conditions the scores were excellent.

Weekend competition Saturday was the qualifying rounds for the Nick O’Donohue and the Red Markers 4BBB board events. Conditions were perfect from mid morning and there were high scores for the men. The women certainly didn’t seem to capitalize on the conditions with only a few good scores. Gloria Hodgkison and
Irena Kapala had the best qualifying score with 5 up and Barb Croaker and Vida Brenner were the next best with 4 up. Scores down to I down qualified for the next round on Saturday. Brent McDonald and Geordie Thoms had the day’s best score in the men’s rounds with 11 up. Runners up were Daniel Wright and Brent Mathers with 9 up and third was Kevin Connelly and John Balderstone with 8 up on a countback from a couple of others. NTPs were Jarryd McGuane, Scott Saunders, David Lewis and Ross Robbins. Sunday’s winners were Margot Crilly with 38 points in the women’s competition, Russell Murfitt with 37 points in A grade, Alan Baker in B grade and Rick Pearson in C grade – both with 39 points. NTPs were Barry Coleman on the 3rd and 16th, Margot Crilly and Val Abery.
a month ago has meant some movement in the divisions especially in B and C grade, and the competition was close in those grades. I ran into a delighted new member Bernadette Oliver at the club on Friday night celebrating her first handicap break. She had an even bigger reason to celebrate on Tuesday winning Div 4 and doing more handicap damage with a lovely 67 nett. Bernadette also took the 2010 Club Spoon for the best nett round in round 1 of the club Championships. Div 3 went to Rosie Jones over Glen Petty. In div 2 Karen Mensch was the winner over Helen Bloink and in division 1 Joye Burton was the winner over Chris Rudd. NTPs went to Chris Rudd, Marg Joyner and Gail Hilton and the jackpot went to Sue Booth. A couple of Torquay teams headed
down the highway to play in the Colac Plate on Monday and the team of Sue Booth, Kathy Simpson and Lindsay Dunstan returned with big smiles and the trophy. With scores of 36, 36 and 32 pts respectively they were clear winners and thrilled with their first “away” win My very favourite annual trophy The Norma Blackley Grandmothers trophy was also up for grabs on Tuesday, this was won by a beaming Rosie Jones with a net 68. Rosie accepted the trophy, thanking her 5 grandchildren; Bianca, Chelsea, Andrew, Carlie and Matti who Rosie says are “all beautiful, and all perfect” spoken like a proud granny! Congratulations Rosie. On Saturday, Ainsley McCallum with nett 72 won from Lyn Brady 75. NTPs went to Lyn Brady (3rd & 10th) and Marg Joyner 13th.
and Scott Downey. The women played their May medal on Thursday. Ann Stokes was the winner with nett 68. Sue Bowler had best gross score for the day with 91 and Dot Hermann won the putting with 32 on a countback. Divisional winners were in form Anne Mangan in 1st with nett 74, Ann Stokes in 2nd, and Maralyn Cross in 3rd division. NTPs were Anne Mangan, Sue Bowler, Brenda Balderstone, and Ann Wylie.

Coasters stroll to top of the table Men’s Surf Coast Provisional 2 (2) v Lalor United (0) Surf Coast FFV Prov 2 men went to the top of the table with a 2-0 win against lowly Lalor. As usual Surf Coast had trouble with a bottom level team, with both goals coming later in the second half. Men’s Provisional 2 Reserves Surf Coast (4) v Lalor (0) Surf Coast started well with an early goal after which they settled into a good rhythm. An overall team effort saw the Coasters come out on top. Men’s Div 2 Surf Coast (2) vs Surfside Waves (2) The Coasters got their first point of the season in a well played game on Sunday. Ben Sonderlund started the party early in the first half with an amazing strike from outside the penalty area, and Scott Farrero continued it in the second half. Women’s Surf Coast (1) vs Surfside Waves (8)
The Surf Coast women’s team took on Surfside Waves at Connewarre, showing much more confidence this week. Although they went down 8-1 to their Ocean Grove opponents, they played better than the scoreboard suggests. U16 girls Surf Coast (0) v Kardinia (0) A nil-all draw at full time seems always to be the result these days when Surf Coast plays the ultradefensive Kardinia. With this draw, Surf Coast remain unbeaten and on top of the table after four games. Next week will be a huge match against a tough and talented Geelong girls team. U15 boys Lara (1) v Surf Coast (0) Surf Coast were unfortunate to go one down to an own goal in an evenly contested first half. Even though they played well for long periods of the game they could not quite force a goal. U14 Girls Surf Coast Yellow (1) v Surf Coast Blue (1) The two Surf Coast teams drew 1-1 in a hotly
contested game at The Quay. It was great for the girls to play in front of a crowd and they were enthusiastically supported by parents and visiting Melbourne players. U12 girls Surf Coast (3) v Geelong Rangers (3) The legends continue their two major traits. They got off to a slow start yet again being 2-0 down at the half-time break before coming back to even the score. After this draw, the Legends remain undefeated but are tempting fate U12 boys Surf Coast Yellow (3) v Barwon Red (0) Surf Coast dominated the first half, finishing one up at the break. The second half saw the lead widen to a 3-nil win at full time. U12 boys Surf Coast Blue (1) v Bell Park (4) Bell Park displayed great skills to come out 4-1 victors in spite of a great game by Matt, Ollie and Harrison for the coasters.
The Surf Coast girls under 14 Yellow and Blue teams battled it out for a 1-1 draw on the weekend.
A hard family to beat BY ELEANOR WOODS
Torquay Tigers thanked their sponsors at a luncheon at Saturday’s game against Queenscliff on Saturday.

THE LONGBOARDING Lalor family conquered the Victorian Championships recently despite a car crash in the lead-up to the event. Apollo Bay’s Lalors, a surfing family of five, were “primed” for the Jan Juc competition, but just days before the event, mum, Caroline, and youngest son, Adam, were in a car accident. Driving toward Forrest, just four kilometers from Apollo Bay, Caroline lost control of the family vehicle. Husband, Brett, said she was thought to have struck an oil patch, which forced the car to spin out before leaving the road and hitting an embankment. “I got a call saying there had been a car accident. It was a really scary moment,” Brett said. Luckily, the pair escaped with only whiplash and grazes. “There was smashed glass and they must have been in a bit of a shock,” Brett said. Despite the accident, Adam, 11, still competed in the championship event alongside Brett, and his brothers, Oscar, 16 and Luke, 14. The boys did the family proud, all taking advantage of the weekend swell and placing high among their competitors. Oscar won the Under 18 section and also made it into the semi-final of the Men’s open section. The teenager was “stoked” to have qualified for the Australian Championships, which will be held in Port Macquarie. “He’s pretty overwhelmed by it all,” Brett said. Adam finished fifth in the Under 16s and Luke made it to the Under 18 semi-finals. Caroline had to sit out the event out because of her injuries but hoped it hadn’t destroyed her chances of qualifying for the national championships.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

THE MAKO legislation has not been prioritised sufficiently by the government during this current sitting of parliament this week to enable it to be debated in the senate. The earliest the legislation can now be debated and voted upon is June 15. The federal coalition, through Senator Colbeck, has tried to put significant effort into having this legislation expedited but the government as manager of business in the senate did not agree to such demands. Therefore under the current legislation it is still illegal to fish for makos, but at least for now the government is standing by its commitment not to enforce this law. Questions that need to be answered include: Why is the government dragging its feet on passing the new legislation?
Why not put to rest all the uncertainty?
Stop marine pests
IT HAS been brought to my attention that Apollo Bay harbour contains the marine pest Undaria (Japanese Wakame Kelp) Key features of Undaria include a stripe up the middle of the frond and a frilly growth at the base. You can help stop this pest from spreading by following the instructions below: Boat ramp vessels When leaving: • Dislodge all seaweed from your vessel • Drain all harbour water from your vessel • Wash down and dry your vessel and all equipment exposed to harbour water • Do not re-launch in another location before taking these steps Divers • No diving or swimming in
harbour without a permit • After diving wash and dry your dive suit and equipment before you re-enter the sea Moored vessels Before leaving the harbour you must: • Maintain your anti-foul system – keep hull and wet areas free of marine growth • Dislodge all seaweed from your vessel • Pump out all water taken from the harbour (or pump out far away from inshore reefs). Anglers After fishing at Apollo Bay harbour: • Wash and dry fishing equipment used in the harbour before using elsewhere • Do not discard harbour water or seaweed away from the harbour. For further information contact the Department of Sustainability and Environment on 136 186.

Managing sporting injuries BY ADRIAN DEANS, PHYSIOTHERAPIST
WELL, winter sport season is with us again and so too are the numerous sports strains and sprains that are a common occurrence. As such it is timely to remind all athletes about acute injury management. Many people remain confused over when to use ice or heat and what is the best thing to do when an injury occurs. Most soft tissue injuries result in damage to muscles, tendons or ligaments through impact or overstretching. This results in bleeding and the initial inflammatory response in the tissues. The best management for such injuries is remembered by the acronym RICER. The RICER regime should be followed for the first 48 hours following injury to reduce bleeding, swelling and further injury to the damaged part. This results in less tissue damage and an injury that is easier to rehabilitate and a quicker return to sport. RICER stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral. Another acronym is important to remember. During the first 48 hours you should do no HARM. That is, apply no Heat, consume no Alcohol, do not Rub or massage the part, and avoid excessive Movement as these things can increase bleeding and swelling. Injuries are a common occurrence. Being fit, doing a thorough warm up prior to the event and using correct equipment can all help to minimise the risk, but should they occur, following the RICER and no HARM routines will ensure a quicker recovery.
