TALK TO US Council to engage with community on RACV stormwater proposal before any decision will be made
BY NATHAN HALE
SURF Coast Shire Council is set to undertake one of its biggest community consultation processes over the coming weeks. Following last week’s council meeting decision to reject an officer’s recommendation to support the RACV request to harvest stormwater from Jan Juc Creek, councillors will embark on unprecedented community consultation. In proposing an alternative motion, councillor Rose Hodge said the shire simply could not support the recommendation without first talking to the community. Hodge’s views were overwhelmingly supported by fellow councillors, who underlined the importance of listening to the community – and
gaining more information on the subject – before making a decision. The amended motion – which was passed unanimously – will see the stormwater harvesting proposal undergo a rigorous six-week community consultation process. As part of its course and facility improvements for the Torquay Golf C lub, RACV submitted a proposal to council to harvest stormwater from the shire’s drainage pipes by way of constructing diversion pipes in Jan Juc Creek Reserve. The proposed works included the harvesting of 100 megalitres of water per year – which is 47 per cent of the total urban catchment run-off in an average rainfall year. RACV planned to intercept the water from drains that discharge into the creek and use it for course irrigation.
The water would be stored in a number of on- and off-site storages, including a proposed large dam/ wetland to be located adjacent to Jan Juc Creek. A report by Alluvium Consultants – commissioned by the RACV – outlined that the harvesting of stormwater would not have a negative environmental impact and could actually improve the environmental qualities of the creek. These findings were questioned by council’s environmental and community safety department – and councillors – as well as community group, Friends of Jan Juc Creek Reserve. “We have an obligation to the community… we need to be open and transparent in our decision making process,” Hodge said. “We need to ensure the community is engaged in this very complicated process. And we need to
look at having weekend meetings and evening consultation meetings so everyone can attend.” Councillors admitted the amount of detail involved in the proposal was daunting, and that the community had not been informed sufficiently. The Surf Coast Times has found that before the development of Ocean Views Estate, 50 per cent less stormwater ran through the creek. Friends of Jan Juc Creek Reserve welcomed the decision by council, but remain opposed to any stormwater being harvested from the creek. “We started this group in 2007 to enhance and preserve the creek and the reserve – and it makes it difficult to do that when water is not entering the creek,” said the group’s Octavia Chabrier. “How can it be good for a creek that hardly has any water in it to divert stormwater away from it?”

LAST week’s council meeting was busy, with four important reports on Bells Beach, Jan Juc stormwater harvesting, traffic management in Aireys Inlet and planning in Bellbrae now out on public exhibition. We look forward to hearing from you on these reports, which will this week be available on council’s website at www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au/onexhibition.htm or at council’s Grossmans Road Service Centre.
Keeping Bells ringing
The draft Bells Beach Coastal Management Plan is one of the most important reports council has produced for some time as we focus on preserving the assets of Bells our community values most. One main aspect of the report is a proposal to charge commercial operators who use the reserve to run tours a licensing fee and to reconfigure parking at the reserve in order to separate tourist buses from private traffic. On any given day, the Bells Beach Surfing Reserve can attract more than 2,000 visitors. It is important that we work to manage the increased pressure on the reserve from local population growth and increased tourism. The plan also features a range of measures to deal with coastal erosion and drainage problems that are threatening the reserve’s environment; while car park upgrades and landscaping works are designed to improve the quality of vegetation in the area and to preserve views of the surf. Importantly, the plan does not impact on the surf break or the things that make Bells pump. The plan includes a multi-million dollar capital works plan that we will be seeking assistance from state and federal government to complete, in recognition of Bells’ national and international significance. I invite you to find out more about the plan by coming to community information sessions to be held at Surf World from 5pm-7pm on Thursday, May 20 and on Sunday, May 23 from 10am-12pm at Bells Beach.
Your say on stormwater use
Last year, council received a proposal from the RACV to use stormwater that would ordinarily flow into Jan Juc Creek to irrigate the Torquay Golf Course. As stormwater in council drainage systems is an asset of community and council, we must make a decision on the proposal. Council believes the community must have a say on this issue. Council has requested a number of reports from the RACV, which have been provided. As community engagement is a priority for council, we have elected to put these reports and the proposal out for public comment over the next six weeks. As many of my fellow councillors said in voting to place the reports on exhibition, we will be supporting the proposal if it can be demonstrated to be a win-win – offering benefits for the health of the Jan Juc Creek and associated wetlands; and saving future potable water use. The council report and 14 attachments, including consultants’ reports have now been placed on public exhibition until Friday, June 21.
Planning for Bellbrae’s future
The Bellbrae Structure Plan has also been released for public comment after an extensive community consultation process. The plan includes a number of measures aimed at preserving Bellbrae’s unique identity and feel, including the preservation of the green break between Bellbrae and Torquay-Jan Juc. The plan recognises growth in Bellbrae should be limited, reflecting current Surf Coast Shire and Victorian Government planning policy as well as comments during community consultation sessions held during the plan’s development. The plan proposes any short term growth in Bellbrae be accommodated with 2500m2 lots along School Road, providing eight new lots in the short term in the middle of town. Lots of 4000m2 would be available in the longer term

Split Point Lighthouse precinct traffic management plan
Council is now working to develop a traffic management plan to address a range of issues around Split Point Lighthouse. You can find a copy of a draft plan at council’s website, www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au under ‘Latest News’ or at the Visitor Centre in Anglesea. Submissions are due by Friday, May 28.
Cheers to volunteers!
There is much in Surf Coast Shire that simply wouldn’t happen without the efforts of volunteers. Next week, Surf Coast Shire will be celebrating the volunteers that staff our visitor centres, that make our sporting competitions run, that help save and improve people’s lives. Census data shows that Surf Coast Shire has a rate of volunteering that is well above the national average, with more than 4,500 Surf Coast residents reporting doing some kind of volunteer activity. Those that do volunteer gain great benefits from their activities – from meeting likeminded people, learning new skills, from putting their skills and passions to good use and from the joy of making someone’s day. Council will be holding functions in Torquay, Deans Marsh and Winchelsea. If you’re looking for great volunteering opportunities on the Surf Coast, we’d love to hear from you! Email volunteer@surfcoast.vic.gov. au or contact Janine Shelley on 5261 0587. Warm regards,

Funding provided for black spot A NOTORIOUS traffic black spot just outside of Torquay has received federal funding, Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, has announced. The black spot – at the intersection of Horseshoe Bend Road and South Beach Road – will receive $72,200 in federal government funding to seal the shoulder, install bicycle line marking, advanced warning signage and lighting. The funding is good news for local cyclists, who only last month joined forces to start their own safety campaign after a
number of incidents around Surf Coast roads. The intersection was recommended by a panel of independent road safety experts and will be delivered during the course of the coming financial year. “I’m really pleased about this funding,� Cheeseman said. “Whilst this is certainly not our largest road project, the intersection is a real worry for both cyclists and cars, and will now be made safer. “Cyclists have spoken to me about the Horseshoe Bend Road intersection, and it’s

I’m happy to put forward a good case,� he said. “Nomination forms are available from my office. Alternatively, the forms can be downloaded from the website at www.nationbuildingprogram.gov.au

Bells Beach masterplan on display
SURF Coast Shire’s long-awaited Bells Beach Coastal Management Plan has been put on public display after drafts were endorsed by council last week. The draft document is a longterm plan that seeks to ensure the features of Bells – the great waves, views and precious natural environment – are preserved for generations to enjoy. The plan can be viewed online or at the shire’s customer service centre in Grossmans Road, Torquay, until June 30. “The plan is about ensuring the best of Bells remains for many years to come and that we can deal with the issues that are presenting risks to the reserve, including coastal erosion, increased visitor traffic, ageing infrastructure and environmental degradation,â€? shire mayor, Libby Coker, said. The plan makes a raft of recommendations, including: • Developing a licensing scheme to ensure the more-than 30 commercial operators that now
use the Bells area contribute to the maintenance of the reserve and new facilities • Providing upgraded infrastructure, including a renewal of the stormwater systems, toilets at the Winkipop car park, new rubbish bins and landscaping that will preserve vegetation and views from current car parks • Reconfiguring the Winkipop car park to provide more efficient use of space and provide better, safer access for pedestrians, while preserving views of the surf. Public information sessions will be held at Surfworld on Thursday, May 20 from 5pm-7pm and at Bells Beach on Sunday, May 23 from 10am-12 noon. Submissions can be sent to info@ surfcoast.vic.gov.au or to Bells Beach Surfing Reserve Coastal Management Plan, C/-PO Box 328, Torquay, Vic, 3228.

Shire steps up 2040 campaign • What are the elements that contribute to Torquay and Jan Juc’s sense of place? How do we work to preserve them? • What makes Torquay and Jan Juc great places to live now? How do we retain these attributes? • How do we ensure that change and possible future growth contributes positively to our liveability? • How do we live in greater harmony with our region’s environment? • What services do we rely on now? What services will we need in the future? • How should Torquay and Jan Juc interact with our wider region? Should we be entirely self-sufficient or is there a sense of interdependence with the rest of the Surf Coast, Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and beyond? • How can we live more sustainably and encourage others to do so?
“It’s become clear that we need a new way of dealing with high growth pressure in coastal communities like Torquay and Jan Juc that considers the environment, sense of place, community views and challenges. “It’s pleasing that the Victorian Government has shown its understanding of this need by partnering us in this project and by contributing $110,000.� Coker said community involvement was vital for the project’s success. “For the project to be successful, we really need the community to remain involved and to put its best thinking forward. We need to show our intelligence and foresight as Surf Coast residents. I am confident this can be achieved,� she said. “There are a number of key questions people need to consider as part of Torquay Jan Juc 2040.� The questions include:
SURF Coast Shire continues to ramp up its Torquay Jan Juc 2040 campaign in preparation for an indepth bout of community consultation, which will begin in the coming weeks. Council has appointed former City of Greater Geelong general manager of economic development and planning, Kate Sullivan, to manage the project, which will provide new ways of ensuring land use planning and development meets community aspirations. Mayor, Libby Coker, said council was now working to develop a community engagement plan for the project. “The Torquay Jan Juc 2040 project is ambitious, but it is a project we believe can succeed because the local community has shown it is passionate about its future and the way we manage growth pressure,� Coker said.

Anglesea lights up
BY NATHAN HALE
ANGLESEA Tennis Club is set for an extension of its court lighting system after receiving a $60,000 state government grant. The popular club, which boasts more than 450 members, received the funding under the
Community Facility Funding Programme – Minor Facilities Category. Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney, announced the funding last week, along with Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, and councillors Jim Tutt and Brian McKiterick. Tennis club president, Marie Robins, said the
Surf Coast Shire councillor, Brian McKiterick, mayor Libby Coker, Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney, and Anglesea Tennis Club president Marie Robins at the funding announcement.
funding will provide a vital boost for the club, which is one of the most important in the Surf Coast. “This is a great boost for the club,� she said. “At the moment it is really hard for people who have to wait for courts. Tennis is still popular through winter and with the new lights it means a lot more people will be able to play. “A huge amount of work has gone into receiving this funding and there has been terrific support from everyone at the club. “I would like to thank Gayle, the Surf Coast Shire and everyone who has supported us throughout the application for funding.� Currently the club has lighting on two of its four hardcourt surfaces; with the funding all four courts will be floodlit before the end of the year. In announcing the funding, Tierney said the club will now be able to offer more opportunities for members and visitors alike throughout the entire year. “Victorians love their sport and recreation, especially here in the Surf Coast Shire. This funding will go a long way in helping the Anglesea Tennis Club cater for the increasing demand for tennis in the area, particularly during the peak season,� she said. “We want to make it easier for the community to stay involved in the sport and recreation activities they enjoy, and to lead healthy and active lifestyles. That’s what our ‘Go for your life’ campaign is all about.� The project includes the installation of two light poles and replacement of existing light fittings to light two courts.

News in brief VCAT appeal lodged JAN JUC residents last week lodged an appeal with VCAT for a review of the council’s decision to enforce the pathways special charge scheme. The Concerned Residents Against Pathways Scheme group confirmed the appeal had been lodged. “It is just a waiting game now,� said the group’s Steve Burton. “The shire will get a copy of the appeal and VCAT will set a hearing date – which we are not sure of but our best information tells us it is likely to be around September. There may be calls for mediation before it, but who knows.�
Apollo Bay receives funding boost CHILDCARE services in Apollo Bay have received a boost with $28,000 in federal funding announced last week. Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the funding will boost long day care services in the town. “This funding is very timely for Apollo Bay and will help the facility meet demand in the community,� he said. “It will help the centre continue to provide high quality childcare and learning services in Apollo Bay.� Further information about the government’s Child Care Services Support Programme is available from www. deewr.gov.au/EarlyChildhood

Tips to help prevent vehicle theft • Never leave keys in the ignition when your vehicle is unattended • Close all windows and lock all doors before leaving your car • Lock your car when paying for fuel • Do not leave valuables within view, lock them in the boot or take them with you • Do not leave registration papers, driver’s licence or other papers or cards in an unattended car

L AW Y E R S & C O N S U LTA N T S
• Do not have your personal address on tags attached to car keys. Theft from your car Property being stolen from cars is arguably one of the most under reported crimes within our community. Victims of this crime invariably: • Are not insured to cover the loss or have an excess attached to their policy which exceeds the value of the loss • Refuse to lose their no claim bonus by claiming for their loss. Tips to help prevent theft from your car • Engrave or mark your accessories and valuables with the letter ‘V’ and your driver’s licence number • When leaving your valuables in a car do not hide them upon arrival as thieves could be monitoring the car park. Instead place handbags out of sight prior to parking • Do not leave loose change within view, thieves will do hundreds of dollars of damage to steal small amounts of money. Theft of number plates While number plate theft is not a new thing, over the past few years it has increased. False, defaced, and stolen number plates are being used for a variety of illegal purposes. Registration plates are fairly easy to remove if they are secured via standard screws. In some instances a similar looking vehicle is the recipient of the illegal plate/s. Sometimes only one registration plate is removed. When discovered by the owner, rather than report it to police, only Vic Roads receives notification, and a new plate with the same number is sent out, meaning more than one vehicle now has the same registration number. One of the best ways to protect your number plates is to make them difficult to remove.
GPS security Theft of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) from vehicles mainly occurs from the yard of premises, street or car park. GPS are also stolen from unattended boats. Police are encouraging motorists with GPS fitted to their vehicles to follow simple crime prevention advice which will help you from becoming a victim of theft: • When choosing a GPS it is advisable to consider the benefits of anti-theft security features to ensure it cannot be used by anyone who doesn’t know the PIN or password • Record the make, model and serial number of the GPS and mark with the letter ‘V’ and driver’s licence number • Take your GPS with you when you leave the vehicle along with the support cradle and wipe the suction pad marks from the window with a cloth, even if you leave the vehicle for a short while, as the first place thieves look is the glove box and centre console. Products available to help prevent car theft There are a number of products you can install in your car to help prevent car theft. While you can never completely eliminate car theft, these measures can help to deter would-be thieves. Alarm systems Bonnet locks Door locks Immobilisers Starter ignition fuel system Ignition shields Parking barriers Steering wheel locks Transmission locks
Wheel clamps Window etching The Neighbourhood Watch virtual car Fifty years ago, every new driver was taught to check tyres, oil and water whenever they stopped for petrol. Nowadays, cars are more reliable and will actually warn the driver when oil gets low or something needs attention. This means that the driver is less likely to take responsibility for these maintenance checks themselves and young people are not necessarily being taught the value of these care routines as they learn to drive. The Neighbourhood Watch website provides excellent, sensible reminders about checks that every driver should do on a regular basis to ensure that their car is running well. It also gives information about things, such as tyre wear patterns, that are warning signs of problems. For more information, visit www. neighbourhoodwatch.com.au/Virtual Tours Fire safety – heaters Metropolitan Fire Brigade experiences an increase in house fires during the winter months as the use of heating equipment increases, and statistics show that heating appliances are a major cause of these fires. Here is some good advice to avoid fires caused by heaters at home: • When your heater is installed ensure the manufacturer’s instructions are followed • Check your heaters before first use each winter • Flues and chimneys require cleaning once a year • To protect children, check that their night clothes are labelled ‘low fire danger’ • Always supervise children in rooms with heaters For more information, visit www.mfb.vic.gov. au

Local neighbourhood watch activities WE WILL be holding our second ‘Safe Plate’ day at the end of May/early June to assist with the prevention of stolen motor vehicle number plates. Watch out in our next column for the exact date. The theme this month is Car Security. In the Torquay Jan Juc area, theft from cars is one of the most common crimes. The NHW Bulletin for May gives detailed reminders about how to reduce the risk of car theft. There are two types of car thieves: the opportunist and the professional. What they have in common, though, is that they can steal a car in less than a minute. The opportunist is a person who may see your car as a means of transport, a joy ride, or to use in committing another type of crime. Often, when a car has been stolen by an opportunist and is recovered, it is returned to the owner in a damaged condition. Professional car thieves are motivated differently, stealing cars for profit. They are normally well organised, work in teams and are either after specific car parts or intend to change your car’s identity, to resell it later. If your car is stolen, report it to police immediately. Notify police of the location and time of disappearance. Give police the registration number, make, model and colour of the vehicle and notify your insurance company immediately.

Locals benefit from tax plan
FEDERAL Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, yesterday welcomed the release of the government’s new future tax plan, saying it will strengthen the economy and deliver jobs and real benefits for working people across the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula. Cheeseman said the big winners of the government’s tax plan would be small business and working families through investments in superannuation. He said the government’s tax plan will prepare Australia for the big future challenges with reforms that will invest in retirement savings, infrastructure and jobs across the country. “I am enormously proud of the contribution the community of the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula has played to ensure that Australia stayed out of recession in the face of the worst global crisis in 75 years,” Cheeseman said. “It is crucial now that we convert our successes during the global recession into lasting gains to our community through a stronger economy and a fairer and simpler tax system, and the government’s tax plan will do just that.” Cheeseman said the announcement of the new Resource Super Profit Tax would ensure that Australians get a fair share from our valuable mineral resources “All Australians have a stake in our mineral wealth, so it is right that we see a fair share of that,” he said. The government will give small business a head start on the cut to the company tax rate, reducing it to 28 per cent by 2012-13. They will also benefit from instant write-off of assets worth up to $5,000. “This means less red tape and up front tax relief for our small businesses who give so much to the local community of the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula,” Cheeseman said. “Small business did a huge amount of heavy lifting for our economy here on the Bellarine Peninsula during the global recession and are a big part of the reason why our unemployment rate has stayed so low.” Working families will benefit from investments in superannuation made possible by the government’s plan, with a third of the package used to ensure we save the benefits of the current minerals boom. Cheeseman explained that the superannuation guarantee will be increased to 12 per cent over time, and around 3.5million Australians will receive a new concession on their superannuation guarantee contributions. Over 50s with lower superannuation balances will also be provided access to more generous contribution caps that allow them to make catch-up contributions to their retirement savings.

This is an accident spot waiting to happen, but again there are no speed humps, slow down signs or pedestrian crossings. In fact the only area of Jan Juc that has a crossing is at Ocean Boulevard, near the shops. Several years ago myself and other residents identified the one-way road into the shopping village as a dangerous spot for kids and other cars alike and we managed to get this road closed off. I think most people would agree that the improvements made at the shops were suitable and improved safety and the environment. If safety of pedestrians is paramount to the council I suggest they start to look at slowing traffic down and putting in place areas for the elderly and children alike to cross safely from one area of Juc to the other. This can’t be done alone by paths because you still ultimately have to cross roads at some time or another.

Re-think needed on Jan Juc safety Dear Editor, I am writing in regard to Libby Coker’s comments on the front page of the Surf Coast Times, April 20, relating to footpaths in Jan Juc. She says “councillors are accountable to the community – this is why we are ensuring the safety of Jan Juc pedestrians.... where motorists are travelling at speed”. As a parent who 15 years ago used to push a pram around Jan Juc I totally agree that some main thoroughfares of Jan Juc should be paved to make pedestrian movements safer. I am sceptical, however, of the ensured safety of Jan Juc pedestrians being top priority. If this was the case, why is it that at the bottom of Domain Road where there is a well used concrete walking and bike path leading to playgrounds and sporting facilities, there are no speed humps or pedestrian signs in place – despite repeated requests from residents. Another area of concern is on Sunset Strip, where the newly built playground is. There is inadequate and dangerous parking measures in place on a road that motorists seldom sit on 50 kilometres an hour.

Why the long wait? Dear Editor, I, along with many other residents, am wondering when the Taj Mahal – ie. the $400,000 toilet – in the IGA car park will be opened. From its beginning it closed more than 30 car parks for several weeks when no activity occurred. During this time we had one of our busiest weekends. We were told that it would be opened for the Christmas holiday period; admittedly some car parks were opened for this time, but still no toilet. Australia Day, Labour Day and Easter have all come and gone and still no opening. Would it be too difficult for someone from Grossmans Road to let the community know when this project – which is several months overdue – will be opened to the long-suffering public? Are we waiting for a Royal visit to christen it? Terry Pyers Jan Juc
Don’t blame Bunnings
It makes you laugh
Dear Editor, As a local resident I am sick and tired of all the whingers that live in this area. I have two children who would love a job at Bunnings when the store opens. I have read all the council papers on this matter which are available to the public. After understanding the facts here there is no point trying to implicate Bunnings in any wrong doing. The site they have bought was zoned by our own council in 2006 and it allows Bunnings use and is not open to third party appeals for residents to go the VCAT. They are the facts – is that Bunnings’ fault? I am a supporter of Australian companies, jobs and investment in this town and Bunnings ticks all those boxes.
Dear Editor, Are we living in a Monty Python sketch? The Surf Coast Shire wants to consult with Jan Juc residents about the Torquay Golf Club harvesting rainwater from Jan Juc Creek. Sounds admirable, but when it comes to charging the same residents for footpaths they really don’t want, the council ignores their views. There has been more concerns expressed about the footpaths than rainwater harvesting, but our council continues to ignore them. Harvesting rainwater is government policy and the shire’s own people have suggested it may actually help the creek. What is wrong with these people? The RACV want to develop a first-class facility that can only help the Surf Coast. This isn’t just about golf club members, the course and club facilities will be available to all RACV members.

It is hard not to believe the majority of Surf Coast councillors see Torquay/Jan Juc as a place to exploit for rates to spend on other parts of the Surf Coast. Michael Lunney Jan Juc
Lower Bluff Road Dear Editor, Those who signed the petition asking City of Greater Geelong and Department of Sustainability and Environment to improve the conditions of roads on the Lower Bluff will be pleased to hear that COGG has advised they will commence improvement works in the first half of the new financial year. COGG is still to confirm the requested lower speed limits. Unfortunately, DSE has refused responsibility to maintain Lower Bluff Road and have even suggested closing the road at one end. This would present a very real risk for residents and visitors. We trust DSE will reconsider and apply a more considerate response. Paul Sproule and Don McKenzie St Leonards
ANZAC Day Dear Editor, ANZAC Day is a very special and important one to all Australians. I was honoured to lay the wreath on their behalf in Barwon Heads.

Taking the step to secondary school THE TRANSITION from primary to secondary school is an exciting time for students and their parents. It is the next stage in a lifelong educational journey leading to new experiences and challenges. The more informed everyone is, the more likely the experience will be positive for you and your child. After the relatively familiar setting of the primary school (where there is usually one main classroom teacher for each child and one or two specialist teachers), it can be a bit daunting moving to a secondary school where there are many more teachers, new surroundings and a different approach to timetabling. Secondary schools have different ways of introducing primary students to their school. Most students settle in very quickly. Sometimes, it’s the parents who are more bewildered and wonder how the secondary system works. Primary and secondary schools co-operate to ease students through the transition period. Often, secondary students revisit their old primary school to tell Year 6 students what secondary school is like. This is sometimes taken a step further and a buddy system is encouraged, where secondary students are teamed up with primary school students and regularly meet face-to-face or communicate by email. Steps are also taken to prepare children for the different teaching methods of secondary schools. Many primary schools have a team of teachers working with Years 5 and 6 students, so students become familiar with working with a range of teachers rather than just one. Teachers from secondary schools often visit local primary schools to take small groups for
lessons or to talk about secondary school. Parents of Year 6 students will be asked to complete enrolment forms for the secondary school of their choice early in the year. This enables secondary schools to plan for the following year. Your child’s Year 6 co-ordinator can help you with questions and the appropriate paperwork. Parents are encouraged to attend information sessions at local schools to assist them to choose a school for their child.
School open days FOR MORE information on making the transition from primary school to secondary school, open day information sessions will be held at the following schools:

Learning the 21st century way LATER this year Victoria’s students, teachers and families will become connected in a way never seen before. The arrival of the $60.5million Ultranet in every Victorian Government school will provide an online learning platform to enhance student learning, support the work of teachers and allow parents to get more involved in their child’s education – all at the click of a button. Education Minister, Bronwyn Pike, said the Ultranet, would be installed in all government schools by the end of September. “We are providing an exciting 21st century learning environment for teachers and students and helping parents become better informed about their child’s education,� Pike said. “We know the best education occurs when there is
a genuine partnership in a student’s learning.� The Ultranet will be a protected online environment available to users anywhere, anytime. Students will progressively access personalised learning activities and an ongoing record of achievement, from year to year and school to school. They will also be able to collaborate with other students within their school and across the state. Teachers will use the Ultranet to create curriculum plans, collaborate with other teachers, monitor student progress and provide assessment online. Parents using the Ultranet will be able to see up-to-date information about their child, including their timetable, attendance, learning tasks, teacher feedback and learning progress. Ultranet coaches have been improving the ICT capacity of schools since 2008.

Sort out your super this financial year BY COASTLINE FINANCIAL GROUP PLANNER DARRYN JACOBS* Salary sacrifice SALARY sacrificing into super offers an easy way to save on tax while boosting your super balance. What is salary sacrifice? Simply put, salary sacrificing involves nominating a certain amount of your future pre-tax salary to go straight into your super. Your reduced salary (that is, your salary minus the amount you salary sacrifice to super) becomes your assessable income for personal income tax purposes. However, since July 1, 2009, salary sacrifice may be used to work out entitlements for certain tax offset and government benefits. What you need to consider There are a number of factors you need to consider before you salary sacrifice. Firstly, speak to your employer and find out if they allow salary sacrifice arrangements (and if there are any effects on other employment or superannuation benefits or your Super Guarantee contributions). If they do, then you’ll need to consider: • How much you want to contribute from your salary. • Whether you want to sacrifice any of your future bonus to super • Whether or not you would like to salary sacrifice any leave entitlements. As salary sacrifice contributions are taken to be concessional contributions,
you also need to consider the concessional contributions cap. For the 2009/10 financial year, the cap on concessional contributions is $25,000 for those aged under 50. The transitional cap for those aged 50 and over is $50,000. Government co-contributions Will you earn under $61,920 pa in 2009/2010? If you answered yes to the above, and you make personal after-tax contributions to your super, then you may be eligible to receive ‘co-contributions’ from the government. How does this work? The government will contribute up to $1 for each $1 you contribute to your super (up to an annual maximum of $1,000). If you meet the eligibility criteria, all you have to do is lodge your tax return for 2009/2010 and the Australian Tax Office will arrange payment of your co-contribution. Spouse contributions Build your super and save for retirement with your spouse using this tax-effective strategy. What are spouse contributions? Basically, a spouse super contribution is where you invest money into your spouse’s superannuation account, rather than your own. Bring forward your contributions By boosting your super now, you could have extra tax-free money when you retire.
What is the ‘bring-forward’ option?No tax is paid on non-concessional (after-tax) contributions in a financial year when the amount of these contributions are within that year (July 1 through to June 30) and fall below the non-concessional contributions cap. The non-concessional for 2009/2010 is $150,000 pa. However, under the government’s ‘bring forward’ rules, people aged under 65 can bring forward two years worth of nonconcessional contributions; up to $450,000. Earnings on these contributions will be taxed at the favourable rate for superannuation funds of up to 15%. Further, when taken as a super benefit, they are tax-free if you retire after age 60.
What happens when I retire? When you retire, you have the choice of taking your super payout as an income stream, or lump sum. Either way, if you take your super benefit on or after age 60, the money you receive will be completely tax-free! If you have any questions or would like more information on these strategies please contact us on 5263 3964.

Get on the bike! Say thanks to
IF YOU are not a fan of running, have shonky knees, love the fresh air and want to lose weight quickly – then cycling could be for you! Cycling is a great form of exercise, and it is one of the best fat burning activities you can do. It is also low impact, which makes it ideal for people who are overweight or have weaknesses in the lower body. Being low impact allows you to exercise longer and burn off more calories – one hour of cycling burns off more than double the amount of calories as a one-hour walk. There are many different types of bikes available on the market, ranging from the hybrid all rounders through to mountain bikes and road bikes. Whatever type of bike you choose to ride, just remember to have a properly fitted helmet and check that your bike is in good working order. Also ensure you wear high visibility clothing that keeps you warm and dry, and fit lights if you
are riding in low light. If you want to get serious and build fitness quickly, investing in a properly fitted road bike will get you there faster – literally. Don’t worry – you don’t have to be a Cadel Evans or Lance Armstrong to ride a road bike, and you don’t have to shave your legs! Just about anyone who can ride a bike can get into the sport and it doesn’t take long to build up fitness. We are fortunate to have some great bike shops with trained staff to help you choose the correct bike and to fit you to your bike correctly. Being correctly fitted makes riding much easier and enjoyable, not to mention saving you a lot of pain (and money!). Most bike shops also have organised group rides, which are a great way to learn how to ride safely on the road and meet new cycling buddies. So if you want lose some extra kilos, want an excuse to eat an extra slice of cake or even wear lycra in public then get on a bike.

lives of vulnerable people by giving something that is becoming increasingly rare these days, our time. “Red Cross has traditionally been supported by a wonderful team of older female volunteers. Now many men are now signing up as Red Cross volunteers across all our services, and young people are joining programs such as ‘save-a-mate’ to help provide drug and alcohol education for other young people. “Volunteers have always been at the very heart of Red Cross. “We provide volunteering opportunities that are flexible enough to fit into the busy lifestyles of our volunteers, yet are challenging enough to give our volunteers a sense of belonging and the opportunity to meet other community minded people.� To find out more about becoming a Red Cross volunteer, or to make a donation to support the work of Red Cross volunteers, visit www.redcross. org.au or phone the toll free number 1800 811 700. Thank-you emails can be sent to supportourvolunteers@redcross.org.au
DURING National Volunteer Week – which will be held next week – Red Cross is urging all of us to do something a little extra to show we appreciate the work of Red Cross volunteers. Red Cross chief executive officer, Robert Tickner, says saying ‘thanks’ can be as simple sending a thankyou email to supportourvolunteers@redcross. org.au or making a donation to support the work of Red Cross volunteers at www.redcross.org.au “Red Cross volunteers have always been motivated by the most fundamental desire to help those who are most vulnerable,� Tickner said. “Our volunteers work tirelessly in cities and towns right across Australia, sometimes around the clock during bushfires and emergencies, as well as joining international humanitarian efforts around the globe. “Whether it’s serving nutritious breakfasts to school children who might otherwise go without, or making friendly daily calls to the isolated and elderly, Red Cross volunteers help to improve the

Transition care provides patients who are over 65 with an interim inpatient service following an acute episode, prior to returning home or moving to residential care in a more relaxed
setting away from the busy environment that is an acute hospital. Barwon Health regularly assesses its contracts with suppliers of both goods and services and is well placed to ensure the availability of a Transition Care Service of the highest quality while undertaking the tender process. Barwon Health chief executive officer, Dr

The tender process enables us to
properly assess what is available while ensuring our patients have the best environment to continue recovery and rehabilitation.� The tender process will follow normal Department of Health protocols with advertising taking place across all mediums in early May. It is anticipated that the tender process will take three months.

New face joins Surfcoast Chiropractic
THE STAFF at Surfcoast Chiropractic Clinic is excited to announce a new chiropractor has joined the team. Doctor Greg Connell comes to Torquay with more than 30 years of chiropractic experience behind him. Since graduating with a chiropractic degree in 1983, Connell has owned and run successful practices in both Mildura and Ballarat. He has extensive experience in practice with SOT and Activator methods, both of which are chiropractic techniques used at Surfcoast Chiropractic Clinic. Connell received a Certificate of Excellence in
1987 for SOT and, since 2000, has been a qualified instructor in Activator techniques, and based on his experience, he states this is now his technique of choice. In 1992 Connell completed a postgraduate qualification in Chiropractic paediatrics – being one of the first practitioners to do so in Australia. Connell lives in Ballarat and is married with two adult children and two grandchildren. His interests include genealogy, restoration and display of antique stationary engines, and restoring old cars and motorbikes. Doctor Tanya Ball said the clinic was fortunate to have Connell’s experience and expertise available to
the community. He will be taking appointments at Surfcoast Chiropractic Clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from today (May 4). Tanya Ball will be available on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturday mornings. For inquiries or to make an appointment, phone 5261 7438.
Doctor Greg Connell joins the Surfcoast Chiropractic Clinic today.
Seven steps to mind your mind
ALZHEIMER’S Australia has undertaken extensive research in how different factors can reduce the likelihood of suffering from dementia in later years. Known as the ‘seven mind your mind signposts’, they spell out simple yet effect techniques for keeping your mind healthy. As well as the signposts, Alzheimer’s Australia is also running “mind your mind sessions’ throughout Australia. For practical advice on keeping your mind active, or just to meet other people, these sessions are full of activities and useful advice. If you can’t get to a session, read up on what you can do at home to help yourself keep mind active. Here are the seven ‘mind your mind signposts’:

Mind your brain Research has shown time and time again that keeping your mind active can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. Simple things like crosswords, mental arithmetic, Sudoku, card games and puzzles can all help keep your mind active. Keeping active about your home not only has physical benefits but it also keeps your mind working.
Mind your diet How you eat has an effect on not only your physical being but also your mental wellbeing. Reducing saturated fats such as dairy products, processed meats, bread and cakes and increasing your intake of protective foods such as fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, nuts, avocados, kiwi fruits and lentils, can keep you more mentally alert.
Mind your body Mind and body come as part of a team, look after both, you can’t live without either. Aerobic exercise – anything that gets your heart pumping – for about 30 minutes a day is recommended for everyone. If you’re not able to get up and about, anything that keeps you blood flowing will be beneficial. Try leg curls, raising your arms above your head, even wiggling your toes is better than nothing.
Mind your health checks Regular health checks will put your mind at ease that everything is working as it should be, or will enable you to seek medical assistance if something isn’t quite right. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and weight should all be checked regularly.
Mind your social life Keeping in touch with people is very important for your mental health. Even simple conversation keeps your mind active and serotonin, which is released from the brain when happy, will help fight depression. Mind your habits Bad habits such as smoking, drinking too much and staying up late can impact on the sharpness of your brain. Remember – everything in moderation! Mind your head Knocks and bumps to the head may eventually have an impact on how your brain works. Keep your head protected when cycling, riding and playing sport and always wear a seatbelt when in a vehicle.

Endota comes to Torquay BY YVETTE LE GREW
THERE is no excuse for not treating your mother this year. But instead of opting for the usual flowers or chocolates, why not treat her to a day of pampering at Torquay’s newest day spa retreat – endota. Fresh from its grand opening last Saturday, Endota Spa – located in Torquay Central at Shop 6 (next to the Westpac ATM) – is all set to help you pamper your mother. Whether it be a relaxing massage or facial, perhaps a pedicure or the full works of a luxurious and stress releasing package, Endota Spa has you mum’s needs covered. The spa is owned and operated by Fran Forde and Mel Cox, who are looking forward to working with not only mothers and women, but also the Surf Coast’s population of men. “We are really excited because where we are makes us a great weekend destination – with the ring road we are only an hour from Melbourne,” Cox said. “So there is a good mix of holiday-makers and weekend visitors, but there is also a growing market of local women who want to treat themselves or somebody they know. “We also have network gift vouchers which can be purchased and are redeemable at any endota day spa around the country. “So if someone buys a voucher in Melbourne they can come down here and redeem it with us. “And there are plenty of options for the men as well… the spa is definitely not just something for the ladies.” Endota also boasts two double treatment rooms – so why not indulge yourself and your mother, or perhaps a friend or partner – and enjoy the experience together. Cox and Forde decided to head into business together after having known each other for a number of years. Cox supplies the finance and administration skills while Forde is a qualified beauty therapist. The opening of the Torquay Endota Spa means there are now three locations along the Surf Coast and surrounding regions – with others situated at Lorne and at Pakington Street in Geelong. For more information or inquiries or to make a booking, phone 5264 7777 or email torquay@endota.com.au

The Endota story FRIENDS Melanie Gleeson and Belinda Fraser have come a long way since creating their first Endota spa down a dirt road in Mount Martha some 10 years ago. Today, Endota is a name synonymous with luxury and relaxation and a true pioneer of the concept of day spas in Australia. Gleeson and Fraser knew from the outset that they wanted to establish a nationwide brand and their foresight in recognising a niche in the day spa industry in Australia has seen them become an inspirational success story – a true testament to how passion can transform an idea into reality. Using a credit card, financial backing from friends and family and a sheer will and determination to succeed, the two young business partners spent the first three years of the Endota business in a juggling act. The two held down day jobs, ran their new venture, and by night would put in place procedures and documentation for their burgeoning empire – mundane tasks that would create the cornerstone of what is now one of Australia’s most highly regarded spa networks. Today, there are 50 Endota spas spread across the country at exclusive beachside locations, wine regions and cosmopolitan hubs that are true to brand and philosophy and provide their clientele with a fresh, contemporary, spirited, oasis-style Australian retreat away from the chaos of the every day. Mel Cox and Fran Forde are the friendly faces behind the new Endota Spa in Torquay.

Mother’s Day
this Sunday 9th May 2010
Mums need to make time for themselves TODAY’S lifestyle demands leave very little time-out for mums. A new survey, however, reveals that while mothers have little time for themselves, they believe their mums and grandmothers had even less. King Furniture and mother’s website www.motherinc.com.au surveyed more than 1,000 mothers throughout Australia, and the results show that 81 per cent of mothers have less than seven hours a week to themselves with mums feeling they have less time to themselves than they did 10 years ago (79 per cent). But when asked how much time they would ideally like to have per week, one in three mums humbly stated they were happy to have just four to seven hours of
personal time. Even with such little time to themselves, almost half of mums believe that they have more time then what their mums or grandmothers had. The key reasons cited include: technology making household chores easier, more assistance from partners and more access to help whether that be family, nannies, cleaners or child care. “The survey was about understanding how mums across Australia are tackling modern living,� said King Furniture general manager Renata Bayer-Volf. “The results show that mothers are such an inspiring force.� When mothers finally get time to relax at home, their sofa is their furniture of

choice (80 per cent) with three out of four mothers simply choosing to read or watch TV. Social network technologies are helping, with over half of mums using these sites to keep in touch with friends, but mums prefer catching up with friends over coffee or lunch at home or out at restaurants and cafes (70 per cent). Interestingly, mothers feel their partners have more time to themselves, with one in two believing their partner has more than seven hours of personal time per week. When asked to give advice to new mums, the overriding response is to accept and ask for help from family and friends.
Lending a helping hand PORTARLINGTON mother of two, Danielle Chambers, is enjoying her return to work now that her daughter, Rose, and son, Alexander, are both at school. She is also helping other mums in her new role, by being there for other children, before and after school. Danielle is the new co-ordinator of Portarlington Primary School’s Out of School Hours Care programme from 7am to 8.30am, and 3.15pm to 6pm weekdays. For many families with working parents, the programme is essential, and provides children with a range of fun, educational activities to keep them occupied and entertained while busy mums and dads are at work. Danielle and another OSHC carer have up to 24 children involved in the programme, which includes puppet making, art and craft, outdoor games, cooking and computers.
Montana’s fashion and accessories is a great place to start your Mother’s Day shopping, with a wide selection of special gift ideas for mums of all ages. However, if choosing the right size, style or colour for mum is too challenging, try a Montana’s gift certificate and treat her to a day out in Portarlington while she decides on a bag, jewellery or outfit for herself! Montana owner, Sandy Hillman, or Christine Ludlow (pictured) can help you with your decision. Photos: ALISON MARTIN

The boutique has evolved since opening in 2006. Body & Style focuses primarily on lingerie and swimwear and is continually growing the range in these categories to cater for the ever-changing needs in the market place for the fuller-figured woman. While the range of national brands like Berlei, Fayreform, Calvin Klein, Lovable, Pleasure State, Triumph, Elle Macpherson Intimates and Hot Milk maternity is a rarity in a small town like Torquay, it is undoubtedly Body & Style’s return to the traditional values of top-quality customer service that sets it apart from the rest. The new range of Spanx shapewear has arrived to
complement existing shapewear brands in store. Rounds and her staff are trained body consultants and offer a specialist bra fitting service – a personal and professional approach that ensures a correct fit for every body, every time.

Industry Info Nurturing your investment property IF YOU are buying a house as an investment property, you will have done your homework. You know that it’s worth a certain amount per week as a rental property and that it’s in an area that is likely to show a solid capital return. However, there’s quite a gap between knowing how much your property should deliver you in rent, and actually having your property tenanted and the rent regularly rolling in. It’s the same with the capital improvement; if your property is not well maintained – worse, if it’s actually damaged or allowed to deteriorate – the amount of capital improvement could be substantially eroded. That’s where the professional property management team at Barry Plant Torquay can help you. They will work hard on your behalf to maintain and increase the value of your asset while obtaining the highest possible return on the capital invested. Local knowledge is vital and Barry Plant property managers understand the local market and what rent is achievable.
By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV
Local region shows biggest median gain
Property manager, Chris Haskins.
Director, Kylie Hardman.
They’ll find a good tenant for your property and ensure that the rent is paid on time. They can look after all the maintenance issues on your behalf, pay rates and water bills and will carry out regular inspections on your property to ensure that it is being well looked after. You’ll receive regular communication about your property, including financial statements. Need Landlord Insurance? Barry Plant Torquay can organise it for you and, because
of their thorough knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act legislation, procedures and precedents, are qualified to serve notice and represent you at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). It’s a total management service that will lavish professional care on your investment. Phone Barry Plant Torquay on 5261 4001 and speak to either Glenn Hardman or Chris Haskins about all your property management requirements – you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
NOT ONLY does the REIV March quarter Property Update provide median prices for houses, units and apartments in Melbourne, it also supplies these figures for key regional centres Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Sale, Traralgon and Shepparton. The March quarter Property Update showed that Geelong and Shepparton recorded the largest increases in their median house price in the quarter.

WRECK OF THE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;JOSEPH H SCAMMELLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CONT.: Extracts from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;History of Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

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? Â Â?Â?Â? Â? Â Â Â&#x20AC;Â&#x201A; Â Â? Â&#x20AC; 0437 882 088 or 5261 2101 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; patrickh@hayden.com.au Strict confidentiality will be adhered to for each property. We look forward to your participation and to meeting with you.

In the kitchen there is also an over-sized pantry. “Another feature of the Harvard 271 which will really appeal to large families, or home buyers who love to entertain, is the alfresco which is directly accessed from the main kitchen, meals and living area,” said Shaw.

Why Blue Cove Homes and GreenSmart are better Insulation Insulation, when installed correctly, is one of the best ways to reduce climate impact and conserve energy for the life of the home. We insulate around all doors and windows, not only the walls. Door Frames We bolt each of our doorframes to the floor. Generally builders do not do this. This eliminates problems associated with door slamming and movement. Wetseal All our wet areas are wet sealed with a protective membrane that is guaranteed against water penetration. Water damage continues to be the number one cause of construction liability claims. We also use Epoxy based grouts, which have anti-microbial protection that inhibits the growth of mould. Lighting Where possible, we use low voltage and LED lighting. These are environmentally friendly. Plumbing All our homes have AAA + rated tapware and flow restrictors. Water tanks are plumbed to laundry and toilets. Greywater recycling is also available for those wanting to go for more water savings. The EPA has just endorsed some Greywater systems that HIA has distributed to all GreenSmart builders. Professional Development We are very passionate about GreenSmart building practices. As recourses become scarcer, the products available in this area grow. We continually attend seminars and source materials to help achieve more eco-friendly houses. Site and waste management The demolition and construction of buildings contributes up to 40% of all solid waste in Australian landfills. We use a recycling company that sorts and recycles approximately 60% of waste from our sites. We apply minimalist site cut policies, erect sediment barriers and encourage the use of low embodied building products.

Reyne down in Torquay THE GIRLS and boys will light up when Australian icon James Reyne returns to the Torquay Hotel next week. Reyne rose to fame in the 1980s as a singer and songwriter with one of the country’s most popular bands, Australian Crawl. Continuing to make leaps and bounds in his solo performing career, Reyne said his work still grows enormously. “I tried to raise the bar on myself as a lyricist, perhaps be more reflective of what I see and sense going on around me,” he said. “I think the ideas are more thematically in tune with each other than perhaps ever before.” Reyne is considered one of Australia’s most influential singer-songwriters, however, he has continued to diversify and is currently involved in a number of other creative endeavours as well. He has worked on projects including hosting the first series of Dig TV on ABC 2, and recorded material for two Children’s books, Mr Froggy Went a Courtin’ and Save the Bones for Henry Jones. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, to an Australian mother and an English father, Reyne moved to Australia in the early ’60s, settling with his family on the Mornington Peninsula. Reyne ditched law school to pursue his music career – and never looked back after he and some friends formed Australian Crawl and began the rise to fame. Some 30 years down the track and well into his solo career he and his band are set to take the stage at the Torquay Hotel on Saturday, May 15 to play all the classics as well as songs from his more recent albums. The one-off show in Torquay gives Surf Coast residents the chance to experience just what it is that has seen Reyne remain one of the most enduring musicians on the Australian music scene. Torquay Hotel’s Andrew Routley is excited about hosting the event – especially out of holiday season – which he said offered
surfcoasttimes.com.au
“something for everyone”. “He is just terrific. He played here last year and it was amazing,” Routley said. “And this year it will be different again; a really great night out.” For more information or to book tickets, drop into the hotel at 36 Bell Street, Torquay, or phone 5261 2001.

Is there such a thing as good Pinot under $20? OF COURSE there is! There is a plethora out there just waiting for you. They may not be ‘Justin Bieber’ like in popularity or fame, but, they’re there and they do deliver. Good value Pinot Noir is on the rise as more and more wineries release second labels into their portfolios. Supreme examples of the variety ooze finesse and silky, sublime texture with a flavour spectrum of intoxicating complexity and balance – that’s a given. Less expensive offerings are by their very nature muted when it comes to levels of flavour, aroma and complexity, yet every now and then the odd one or two bob up that over deliver for their price point. Ideally, pinot noir needs a cool, slow ripening climate, and a long, warm and dry vintage for the grapes to fully express their potential. Mature vines, too, are an important factor when it comes to producing good Pinot Noir, and many established vignerons are starting to reap the benefits that older vines impart to the wines. All three below exhibit fantastic varietal character and complexities albeit at a more simplistic level, but offer real value for money drinking. Just the thing to serve with your favourite autumn red meat dish.
Gallery unveils Dowling exhibition GEELONG Gallery is set to unveil one of its most significant exhibitions of the year. The gallery is the exclusive Victorian venue for the Robert Dowling – son of Empire exhibition, which is a National Gallery of Australia Exhibition. It will open this Saturday and run through until July. Dowling (1827-1886), was an artist considered Australia’s major portrait and figure painter of the late colonial period from 1850-85, who lived and worked in Geelong in the mid-1850s. While largely specialising in portraiture, Dowling also painted popular genre subjects, literary and religious themes, the most substantial Orientalist images by any Australian artist of the time, as well as depictions of Aborigines. Born in Britain in 1827, Dowling migrated with his family to Australia as a child in 1834 and was raised in Launceston. It was here that he launched his career as a portrait painter in 1850, claiming to be self-taught (although it is believed he took lessons from Frederick Strange and Thomas Bock). In September 1854, Dowling moved to Victoria with his wife and their infant daughter, and by November of that year he had settled in Geelong where he obtained employment with a commercial art gallery, painting oil portraits and tinting photographs. From his Geelong base, Dowling painted portraits of pastoral families from the western district of Victoria, a number of which depict Aborigines in close social interaction with the European
settlers. His portrait commissions include those from the Ware family, the McArthur family and Mrs Adolphus Sceales. The portrait Mrs Margaret McArthur of Meningoort, 1856, is a major work in Geelong Gallery’s collection of colonial paintings. Dowling’s images of the Aboriginal people of Victoria and Tasmania are among the most significant works in the artist’s oeuvre – suggesting a sense of rapport and respect for his subjects – and the most potent for the modern viewer. He posed and painted group images of the famous Victorian Aboriginal, Weerat Kuyuut, and the Gunditjmara people of western Victoria, many of which were completed when the artist lived in Geelong. In 1856 Dowling returned to Britain, spending 27 years there painting popular moralising subjects from modern life; themes sourced from literature and history, and paintings based on the Bible as well as a substantial group of Orientalist images. Dowling settled in Melbourne in 1884-86, by which time his reputation was such that he was the most highly esteemed portrait and figure painter in Australia. On the strength of this success he went back to Britain in 1886, intending to pack up his studio and return to Australia permanently, however, he died in London of a heart attack, aged 59. The exhibition opens this Saturday at the gallery, which is situated at Little Malop Street, Geelong. Opening hours are 10am-5pm with free entry.
De Bortoli Windy Peak Victorian Pinot Noir 2008 ($12)
Outstanding value! De Bortoli has been producing eye opening wines at modest price levels for some time now and this Pinot just gets better and better with every release. Not surprisingly, it seems to always get a guernsey in the best buy lists with most wine writers going around – and why not? It shows lovely (yet simple) varietal richness and softness, and doesn’t burn a hole in your wallet! Get on it…
our view
Mt Moriac Pinot Noir 2008 ($18)
Gee this is good. Previous vintages have seen this become a local classic with the current release being another real gem that’s every bit as good and maybe slightly better again? Terrific value with loads of rich Pinot characters that are so silky and oh-so supple…amazing value Pinot at a ridiculous price. Sip and savour.
Devils Corner Tasmanian Pinot Noir 2008 ($16)
Ripping value once again from this producer. Tasmania is a great region for this variety and the 2008 vintage produced some lovely ripe examples. This wine is soft, smooth and rich with the red cherry/berry fruits to the fore and good length of flavour on the finish. Enjoy…

Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawaiian adventure Tuesday 4 May 2010
STUDENTS from Christian College Geelong recently returned from a memorable tour of Hawaii. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three senior ensembles were invited to perform in Honolulu at the 25th Anniversary Pacific Basin Music Festival, alongside choirs, bands and orchestras from Japan, Singapore, Alaska, California, Oregon and Tonga. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of music, Fiona Gardner, said the group who travelled to Hawaii were proud to be representing their country and enjoyed the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 89 students and staff felt that it was a real honour to fly the Australian flag at the festival and made many friends from around the pacific while competing, rehearsing, performing and socialising with the other festival participants,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christian Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symphonic band and strings were awarded gold shields by the international panel of adjudicators while the choir was awarded silver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The adjudicators were most impressed with the Christian College ensembles, selecting the string orchestra to be the command ensemble at the final festival awards ceremony.â&#x20AC;?

THE GEELONG Performing Arts Centre will unveil a shining new jewel next week when the wraps come off The Playhouse, the dazzling result of a three-month, $3million refurbishment of the former Ford Theatre. This monumental event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be held on Thursday, May 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be marked by the Geelong premiere of The Sapphires, the true story of four singing Koori sisters sent to war-torn Vietnam. The show boasts a stellar cast, including two of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great indigenous chanteuses, Christine Anu and Casey Donovan. Driven by the soul hits that defined a generation, this Helpmann Awardwinning production is a stunning showcase of incredible talents, including costume designer, Tim Chappel, who won Academy, BAFTA and AFI Awards for his work on the feature film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The performance is choreographed by Tony Bartuccio, a true pioneer in Australian arts and entertainment. Performing at the Tiki Club in St
Kilda in 1969, the MacCrae sisters from country Victoria catch the eye of a bigcity talent scout with their Supremes cover group. But his plans for their international future arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the lifelong dream the MacCrae girls had in mind. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to sing for the troops on the front line. This swinging celebration of all the joy and heartbreak of family tells the true story of The Sapphires as they shake it for the troops and push sibling love to its limits. As part of the 2010 Alcoa Theatre Season, The Sapphires will be at The Playhouse at GPAC for five shows from May 12-15. For more information or to book tickets, phone the box office on 5225 1200 or visit www.gpac.org.au Taking the stage at GPAC as The Sapphires will be (from left) Christine Anu, Casey Donovan, Hollie Andrew and Kylie Farmer.

The Melodaires swing into a town near you BELLARINE entertainment group, The Melodaires, are gearing up for their biggest season to date. The group of retired professional performers banded together to “keep their passion alive” said performer and manager, Lorraine Wilson. The Melodaires is the brainchild of director Alan Wilson, who has worked on radio, television and in entertainment groups since the 1960s. Already the group has 18 shows booked throughout the Bellarine and are hoping to expand into Torquay and further along the Surf Coast. They perform at bowling clubs, Probus and
Senior Citizen clubs and include songs from Jersey Boys, Roy Orbison, Shirley Bassey. Lorraine Wilson said the 10-strong group “does it for the love of it”. “The feedback we have had about our shows is just great,” she said. “We are doing up-to-date songs. People are sick of hearing all the old tunes. We live in the present.” The songstress said the group looked and sounded great and was well directed, offering audiences a great time. “It really is something to remember,” she said. For more information, phone Lorraine Wilson on 5251 2563.
Historical treasures on display at the museum TWO WILLIAM Ferrier paintings from the walls of the South Channel Pile Light are currently on loan to the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum, courtesy of the National Trust of Victoria. The ship paintings were created on the internal walls of the South Channel Pile Light by lighthouse keeper Ferrier. The Pile Light had living quarters of four rooms, in which Ferrier, his wife and some of his children lived for some time during a 10-year period in the early 20th century. The original South Channel Pile Light was built in 1874 to mark the centre of the Port Phillip South Channel. The structure is the sole survivor of the few lightstations in Australia which were built in the water. Classified by the National Trust in 1983, the

light was decommissioned in 1985 and demanned. In 1998 it was restored and relocated approximately three-kilometres from the original position, to the south of the shipping channel. Three wall paintings which had been removed for safety have been preserved by the National Trust. The paintings are in house paint on red pine lining boards. Those on loan to Queenscliffe Maritime Museum depict a clipper ship and a sloop, both in full sail. The paintings are on display in the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum for some months while the Polly Woodside Museum is refurbished.

Anglesea Live proves a hit BY ELEANOR WOODS
ORGANISERS have declared last month’s Anglesea Live “one of the best” in the event’s history. Karren Stoneham first organised the event around a decade ago to enable musicians to play live music to a live audience, and it has continued to grow in popularity.
The night’s feature artist, Chris Wilson, turned on a memorable performance.
“It has grown and grown. This one was just fantastic. The buzz on the night was great and the talent was exceptional,” she said. More than 220 people came out to support 25 performers involved in 15 acts throughout the night, which was held in the function room at the Anglesea Hotel. “The crowd support was great. We had a huge response and the night went really well,” Stoneham said. Special guest Chris Wilson didn’t disappoint the large crowd with an energetic and classy performance. “He is just fantastic, an all-round showman. He had the whole audience in the moment,” Stoneham said. Stoneham, who is also a music teacher along the Surf Coast, said the most inspiring part of being involved with Anglesea Live was seeing the performers improve. “Seeing the band The Underhanded and singersongwriter, Jesse Jackson, develop so much was extremely rewarding,” she said. “I wanted to give people a platform to perform and grow. It is just great.” Stoneham and the team of committed Anglesea Live organisers are gearing up to serve another aural feast on June 18. Special guests this time around will be local folk and blues musicians Tiffany Eckhardt and Dave Steele.

Literary festival for all
THE Torquay Froth and Bubble Literary Festival continues to take shape. The festival offers a literary line up to enthuse all kinds of authors. From poetry to pulp fiction, if you have a flair for the written word, visit www. torquayfrothandbubbleliteraryfestival.com to see how you can get involved in workshops, competitions and more. The festival, on June 19 and 20, will be held at the Torquay College campus in Grossmans Road.
BY ELEANOR WOODS IF YOU want comfort from the cold come into Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bomboras restaurant and get a taste of the aromatic masterpieces on offer during the cooler months. Bomboras owners Josh Friend and Tom McGrath are beckoning patrons in with a new twist to their already locally-loved menu. Curry Night, which is available on Monday and Tuesday, offers customers a choice of three curries served with spiced aromatic rice and a glass of red or white wine, for $20. Friend said the idea came about after the success of last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shanks and Shiraz night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to try something new and different. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a good curry anywhere around here and everyone loves a nice warm meal on a cold night,â&#x20AC;? he said. The rich, colourful cuisine the restaurant has on offer is enough to satisfy the finest culinary taste buds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have mixed traditional Indian with our own creative twist,â&#x20AC;? Friend said. The curries on offer will change weekly and offer a variety of options, including a chicken and date tagine and a sweet potato and beef rogan josh as well as the ever-popular butter chicken. And locals need not fret about Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steak night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is still in full flight and will continue to run throughout the coming months.
Bomboras also has new operating hours; it is now open from 5pm until late on Monday and Tuesday, from 11am until late on Wednesday and Thursday and from 9am until late on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Josh Friend dishes up a hot plate to keep you warm through the cooler months. He and Tom McGrath, owners of Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bomboras restaurant, are now offering Indian food with the introduction of their new Curry Night.

Pakington St
The perfect gift for the perfect occasion WITH Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and many other special occasions ahead, there has never been a more perfect time to discover BSM Designer Jewellery in Newtown. At the base of the town clock at the river end of Pako, BSM Designer Jewellery provides customers with a unique collection of stunning, handcrafted pieces, from quality rings, bracelets and necklaces to elegant watches that will be treasured for a lifetime. In addition to the superb selection on display in store, BSM can custom design any piece to every clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual tastes using precious metals and stones of their choice. BSMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skilled jeweller, Brett Maloney, explained that beautiful jewellery makes a distinct statement about a person rather than simply being an accessory without purpose or intent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At BSM Designer Jewellery we work with each client to carefully create designs, select and source the appropriate gems and guide the process from conception to creation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A successful outcome for BSM Designer Jewellery is one in which the client sees the reality of what they had previously only imagined.â&#x20AC;? BSM also offers an extensive range of repair services, including ring re-sizing, stone resetting, claw re-tipping, remodelling, pearl restringing and watch battery replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike many other jewellery stores, repair services are performed on the premises at BSM Designer Jewellery, so you can leave your precious jewellery knowing it is safe and sound,â&#x20AC;? Maloney said. Visit BSM Designer Jewellery at 10/321 Pakington Street, Newtown, and view the collection or phone 5229 6540 to discuss your unique creation.

checked and go from there,â&#x20AC;? Steve said. Richoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Building Maintenance also does general home repairs, kitchens, bathrooms, small renovations and feature fences. Richoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer free inspections and quotes and ensures customers a fair deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it when so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handymenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; go around and rip people off. Especially older people,â&#x20AC;? Steve said. The qualified carpenter is passionate about providing an honest service and also offers pensioner rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look after the oldies,â&#x20AC;? he said. For more information, phone Richoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Building Maintenance on 0402 683 555.

Jan Juc Stormwater Harvesting Have Your Say Council is seeking community input on an RACV proposal to irrigate the Torquay Golf Course, using stormwater that would otherwise flow into Jan Juc Creek. As the owner of the pipe network from which the runoff is intended to be collected, Council is the decision-making body. The proposal would involve harvesting around 100 megalitres of stormwater or 47percent of the total urban catchment run-off in a year of average rainfall. State policy supports the harvesting and use of stormwater run off, but there are no agreed guidelines against which to assess such projects; particularly on an environmental basis. Council has sought expert information from the RACV about the proposalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential impact on the Jan Juc Creek. This information is now being made public and we are seeking your views before making any decision. The six week consultation period will be from 3 May until 21 June. The Council report, including 14 consultantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attachments, is now available at: and Grossmans Road Service Centre.

MAY 4 - MAY 11 2010 Don’t allow your thinking to become too black and white - most issues are complex and have lots of grey areas that require exploration. Friends and finances are a fiery mix, so it’s not a good time to lend money to others. There could also be confusion over shared family resources, so be very clear about who owns what.
This week will work best if you do something out of character for an Aries – think before you act and speak. Otherwise your impulsive nature could put others off-side and land you in hot water. If you are finalising financial deals – do your sums and read the fine print (thoroughly) first. Saturday is a fabulous day for romantic Rams.
You’re feeling financially impulsive and won’t need much encouragement to splash the cash around. You need to reset your mindset. It’s out with spontaneous spending sprees and in with a more disciplined approach to money. The Sun, Jupiter and Pluto boost your spirits on the weekend, and put you in a positive frame of mind for the week ahead.
This week’s stars favour burgeoning romances and the formation of fabulous new friendships (especially on Saturday). Are you a lonely Libran who’s sick and tired of being single? Long-term love is likely with someone from a different country or another culture, so perhaps it’s time to rekindle your overseas connections?
With Mercury moving backwards through your sign (until May 12) your thinking is even slower than usual. That doesn’t have to be a problem though. Reworking old ideas will lead to future progress. Your motto for the week is from fellow Taurus, Glenn Ford “If they try to rush me I tell them I’ve only got one other speed, and that’s slower.”
It will be tricky to fathom what’s really going on, as those around you have their own agendas and hidden motives. Tread gingerly with work colleagues. If you push them into a corner, the sparks will fly. Single Lions – are looking for love in all the wrong places? It’s time to remove your rose-coloured glasses and take a reality check!
With Mercury reversing through your partnership zone, be extra careful what you say to others. Your words have the power to influence loved ones positively or negatively, so use them wisely. “Think twice before you speak, because your words will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.” (Napoleon Hill)
If you’ve ever been interested in your ancestry and family history, this week’s stars will pique your curiosity even further. Aquarians are very future-oriented folk but perhaps it’s time to take a peek back into the past? With Venus in your friendship zone, enjoy hanging out with your friends, plus joint creative ventures are also favoured.
Geminis usually have a superficial knowledge about a lot of different topics. This week’s stars encourage you to delve into one subject in a deep and vast way, as you research, review and re-check all your facts – and then come up with some fascinating conclusions. Don’t underestimate the power of the personal touch at work.
Virgos can be critical creatures but it’s time to look for solutions rather than problems, and to support and praise yourself – plus those around you. Your inspiration for the week is from birthday great Harry Truman “A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities, and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.”
There’s nothing worse than a bored Sagittarian! You’ll feel restless this week (especially if you’re cooped up at home) and your boredom threshold will be at an all-time low. So make sure you have plenty of challenging projects to channel all that excess energy into, otherwise you’ll drive yourself (and those around you) crazy.
Your humanitarian side is highlighted, as you reach out to others who are less fortunate than you, or who are in trouble. Your motto for the next seven days is from birthday great Audrey Hepburn (born on May 4) “As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”

Wathaurongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bell
IN ALL the commotion of the Rip Curl Pro finishing down at Johanna, there was a good news story with just a touch of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;twilight zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; magic that may have been missed by many! Nine-time world champion and now four-time Rip Curl Pro champion, Kelly Slater, showed his immense appreciation for Australian indigenous culture by gifting his winning 2010 Rip Curl Pro â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trophy to the Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative. Slater, who has twice before received a traditional Aboriginal welcome to the winnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; podium by the Je-Be-Weng Aboriginal Dancers,
explained that when he arrived at Bells this year he had decided that if he won he would give his trophy to the Wathaurong community in recognition of their previous support of him and as an acknowledgement of the traditional owners of the land. He went on to say, half way through the final and well behind in scores, he suddenly remembered his personal pledge and he thought he may not get the opportunity. Just after that thought, the wave that ultimately won him the event came his way! Slater spent quite some time with his Aboriginal friends in the Johanna car park ringing the Bell in
his own handover celebration. The part that Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative plays in the Rip Curl Pro is significant and is specifically aimed at exposing the world to Australian Aboriginal culture. The indigenous element of Rip Curl Pro is a key component of the 12-month-a-year statewide indigenous surfing programme co-ordinated by Surfing Victoria in partnership with the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-Operative, and supported by the Victorian Government water safety initiative, Play it Safe by the Water, Department of Justice, Vichealth, many community groups and surfing
industry. Elements of the programme include statewide indigenous community learn to surf and water safety programmes, work placement opportunities, a statewide surfing carnival attracting community members from not just the Victorian coastline but many inland communities as well, wildcard opportunities into the Rip Curl Pro and coaching and mentoring courses. Well, Slater is now number one on the ASP world ratings and you can be certain the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative will be cheering him on through every event this season!

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB LAST Monday a number of our members celebrated the Anzac Day holiday by playing golf and some good scores were brought home. In the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition Richard Hammett won A grade with 41 stableford points, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Squeekâ&#x20AC;? McGuane took out B grade with 40 points and Harry Richards had 36 points in C grade. Meanwhile, enthusiastic golfer Suellen Eskrigge came in with 42 points in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition. NTPs were awarded to Terry Nowell, Greg Davis, Calvin Robbins and Sue Britnell..

LAST week we reported that council would vote on the recommendation to allow the harvesting of storm water into the golf club. Despite the extensive consultative process between all the parties and the reports from the various independent external consultants supporting previous reports, eight of our voted in councillors agreed to vary the recommendation and stall the process for another six weeks. As one who attended last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, it was staggering to hear some of the comments. Any observer would be forgiven for thinking that the golf club is at the start of the water flow rather than at the end of the line where the next stop for the stormwater is to the sea. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Thursday women Some great scores were recorded on Thursday. Judy Talbot won A grade with +3 from Dinah Kosky on +1. Jennifer Inman won B grade with -2 from Jan Stewart -3 and vice president Lorraine Elliott won C grade +6 from Pauline Hendrie +5. NTPs were recorded by Judy Preece, Lyn Thompson and Glenda Deans . Our pennant teams are steaming along nicely with division 3, 4 and 5 winning their matches and sitting on top of their respective ladders. Sunday pennant teams are sitting 2nd on their ladder. Keep up the good work girls!
Weekend results We had a late burst of summer after a chilly week and it was a beautiful day to be out on the course. The men competed for their monthly medal. In A grade Colin Foster recorded the best score of the day to win Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal with 81/69 from Bruce Dawson 76/71. Neville Henderson won B grade 88/73 on a countback from Ross Robins 92/73 and in C grade Jacko Smith had 94/71 to win from Denis Croaker 107/77. Lorna Henderson brandishing her new woods made it a winning double for the family bringing home the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event 97/74 from Goanna Stokes 104/76. NTPs were won by Darren Turner, Daniel Schilling, Peter Jones and Colin Foster completed his great day by winning the jackpot on the 16th!
The results werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the web by my deadline, but Scoop Armstrong reports the following â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he birdied the 18th and it was a grand day for the Shaw family with our Ray winning on 38 points from Neville Henderson backing up a great golfing weekend. Anne Mangan 36 points took the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition from our Vee with 31 points. Scoop couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember who won the NTPs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking for a new snout for my next column.
forget it is not all of the storm water that will be extracted into the golf club. The committee encourages all members to contact council to voice their view. Remember the TGC is a facility that provides up to 35,000 games of golf annually to 1,200 members, Torquay residents, Australian and overseas visitors. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships have started. All single handicap male golfers will have received a letter advising them that one of the criteria for selection of the 2010 pennant teams will be based on results in the championships. It was good to see a full field. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the second round is next Saturday and rounds three and four will be played on May 15 and 16. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was stableford and despite the blustery conditions,
there were some good scores. In div 1 David Stephens with 42 triumphed on c/b over Rod Chappell. Philip Smith with 41 took out div 2 from Peter Orwin 38. In div 3 Michael Ryan also had 41 and won from Chris Oliver 37. NTPs went to Bill Higgins, Frank Sykes and Murray Bingham with Sid Chandley winning the jackpot. On Saturday the strong winds once again made it tough but that did not stop the good golfers producing some excellent scores. Gary Watson with 68 won div 1 Scott Williams 69. In div 2 Russell Stewart 68 beat Darren Bartlett 69. Paul Simons with 65 took out div 3 from Geoff Richmond 67. The score of the day and monthly medal went to Ross Martin 64 with r/up Peter Wills 65. NTPs went to Ross Duff, Chris Brown and James Taylor. The jackpot was won by Gary Lenehan.
Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results The WGV/Royal Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital qualifying round was won by Wendie McGregor and Heather Hudler with 48 pts. Wendie and Heather also took out the 61-90 aggregate handicap event with Betty Waters and Lorna Cook r/up on 46 pts. For the 0-60 category the winners were Maureen Stuart and Monica Hingston with 46 pts on c/b from Trish Morris and Lyn Brady. NTPs were won by Heather Hudler, Helen Sceney and Sandy Harrison. On Saturday Yvonne Dean with 74 beat home Cheryl Brunt 75. NTPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were won by Ronnie Beacom, Yvonne Dean and Helen Paull. Bistro Members should keep Friday, May 14 free.

Stupidity and deception leads to good behaviour bond Once again we hear about how some folks seem to think they are exempt from the laws that most of us abide by: Attempts to avoid Fisheries officers were unsuccessful and a Mernda man was charged with exceeding the bag limit for snapper at St Kilda. Athanasios Lazaris appeared before Magistrate Jack Vandersteen at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday April 19. The court heard 30-year-old Lazaris and an unknown male unloaded a large blue cooler containing fish at Kerford Road Pier in an effort to avoid being inspected by Fisheries officers. The cooler contained 16 snapper with14 more than 40 centimetres long. Prosecutor Sofia Jankovic told the court the men were intercepted by Fisheries officers at the pier where Lazaris admitted he heard of the inspections at the St Kilda Marina over the marine radio and was trying to avoid detection. Jankovic said the bag limit is set at three fish over 40cm per person per day to protect the breeding stock that comes into Port Phillip Bay every year to spawn. She said over fishing puts at risk the survival of the species. Magistrate Vandersteen said these fish should not have been caught in the first place. He said taking snapper over 40cm presents a threat to their breeding cycles. He set Lazaris a good behaviour period of six months without conviction and ordered him to pay $300 to the Royal Children’s Hospital. People who see or suspect illegal fishing activity should call the 24-hour reporting line 13 FISH.

WELL, this week I was hoping to bring you a first-hand report from the Barwon River. I had received reports that the river had been fishing well, so I thought it was time to give it a try. With a mate in tow we headed down to the river, we had left later than we intended and knew we would have to cut short the time we had planned to fish. Unfortunately it didn’t even work out that way! Boats can be a right pain in the bum, if you know what I mean! We hitched up our boat, towed it down to the boat ramp, put the boat in the water, and then nothing. And that about sums it up! In less than two weeks from the last time we had it out it decided it needed a holiday. Whether it was the battery or the starter motor I have yet to find out, but even after running repairs on land and getting the motor to actually fire up without a problem, soon as we put it back in the water it decided it wasn’t going to work, no matter how much we tried to sweet talk it. Who says fishing isn’t fun? Of course, that is when you can actually get to fish. If you didn’t laugh it would almost be enough to make you cry. So unfortunately for me, this week I have to rely once again, upon those reliable people who provide me with reports on how good the fishing is in their areas and who continually tell me that I need to take a break and get out there and try some for myself. Fortunately for them, they actually have boats that do work!

Longboarders head to Jan Juc
JAN JUC will this weekend play host to the Victorian Longboard Titles. The best longboarders from around the state will converge on Jan Juc to compete for the prestigious title, where Highton teenager, Adam Lynch, will be looking to go one better than his second placing last year. Regardless of being one of the youngest competitors in the division, Lynch, 18, has already proved his abilities with his runner-up placing last year and making several heats at the 2009 Australian Longboard Titles. However, he will come up against some stiff competition in reigning two-time champion, Sandy Ryan (Phillip Island). Ryan has dominated the last two years, cementing himself as one of the state’s best longboarders. He was also the highest placed Victorian open surfer at last year’s Australian Longboard Titles. Other potential threats include Michael Pinney (Point Lonsdale) who recently placed second in the longboard open division of the Global Surf Industries Noosa Festival of Surfing, and Jordie Brown (Skenes Creek) who was fifth. Another division, which has increased interest every year, is the Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Division. Victoria has some of Australia’s best SUP riders and with this being a relatively new form of the sport, it will be an event to watch. Other surfers to watch will be the Lalor family (Apollo Bay), with five family members competing in five divisions, Ben Considine (Barwon Heads) who was second in the under 15 division of the Global Surf Industries Noosa Festival of Surfing, and Lucy Ruffy (Kew).

mat WITH TORQUAY BOWLS CLUB
THE PEGS were picked up and the flags were lowered for the last time for the 2009-10 bowls season at Torquay on April 24. To the untrained eye, the club has quietly slipped into hibernation, but there is still plenty of activity around the place, with the greens being repaired and re-sown to get some growth before winter. And while on the subject of the greens, as a club we would be remiss to not make mention of the amazing job Bill Hamshere has done this year in providing what were ranked as “excellent” greens by the GDBA. Almost without exception, visiting teams were in awe of the speed and evenness of the surface, which is testament to Bill’s skills. As a visitor from a club with synthetic surfaces said: “Why would anyone want to play on plastic when you can get a game on a green like this.” Also, the club is in the final stages of putting together a long-term plan for sharing its fantastic

Taylor Park site with other local entities, but there will be more to say on that in the very near future. The club received a grant to prepare a feasibility study on shared use of the site and identifying possible co-tenants. That is now almost complete and the path being cleared for renewal of our lease and re-development of our facilities. On the playing scene, signs are looking promising for next season, with several new bowlers signing up and an injection of younger players coming through from the Twilighters. The club’s jazz nights and Friday night meals have been a great success, and the super-value Friday warmers will continue through the winter to nourish those hardy souls not migrating northward. This is the last column for the year, but we will be back. It’s only about 90 or so sleeps until next season!
