WIND CHANGE Planning minister empowers residents to decide where wind turbines can go

BY HAMISH BROOKS A STATE Government planning amendment has blown holes in renewable energy plans for the Surf Coast. Planning Minister Matthew Guy announced amendments to planning provisions for the establishment of wind farms in Victoria that prohibit a wind turbine being constructed within two kilometres of an existing dwelling unless there is written consent from the owner of the dwelling. Mr Guy said wind farms would also not be permitted within five kilometres of regional growth areas.

Su rf Forecast

A 14-turbine wind farm at Mt Pollock is the only current project that might be affected by the amendment in the Surf Coast Shire, but organisations looking for sites for community wind farms will also be affected. Surf Coast Shire Mayor Dean Webster said the new laws added another layer of protection to the iconic Great Ocean Road but put any future plans for wind farms around the shire into limbo. “Council has yet to determine the full extent of the new Victorian laws, including how they may impact on the concept of a community wind farm and other renewable energy initiatives currently going through the planning process,” he said.

“Most of our coastal areas along the Great Ocean Road are unsuited to wind farm development. “The Planning Minister’s proposal appears to further restrict the amount of land available in the Surf Coast for potential wind farm development. “This may not be such good news for areas away from the coast suited to wind farm development.” Surf Coast Energy Group president Caroline Hawkins said the decision was “very disappointing”, but she could understand why the Government made it, as historically when new technologies arrive there are always people who are resistant to change. “I think because it gets linked to the climate change debate it becomes even more polarised and

people resist it even harder,” she said. “I quite like the look of them but I think because people don’t immediately see the benefit of a move to renewable sources like wind, they oppose them.” Mr Guy said the two kilometre limit was suggested in research by New Zealand and British governments. “We looked at a body of research that found that the noise and visual impacts were noticeably reduced when turbines were two kilometres from people’s houses,” he said. “More importantly, we felt it was an appropriate buffer; it doesn’t mean you can’t build within it, just that you need a resident’s consent.”

MAYOR’S COLUMN Barwon Water to replace Anglesea sewer pipe Anglesea residents and visitors could be in for some short-term pain for long-term gain with Barwon Water starting work today to replace the damaged sewer pipe, which was shut down last month after leaking into the Anglesea River. The works involve constructing a new sewer pipe beneath the river bed while maintaining services by establishing a temporary above-ground bypass from Coogoorah Park to the corner of Wray Street and Bingley Parade. Access to the reserve, playground, walking tracks, parking and other facilities in the area will be significantly affected. Residents can also expect some issues with traffic, noise and the like. While this will cause inconvenience, the project will deliver important new infrastructure providing the township with an essential service. The works are scheduled to be completed by Christmas. More information and regular updates are available at www.barwonwater.vic.gov.au Any questions, issues or concerns should also be directed to Barwon Water via the website, or phone 13 92 83.

‘Walkies’ now easier for all Many Surf Coast dog owners will be pleased to learn that council has substantially revised its dog regulations brochure to make finding the most suitable spots for walking four-legged friends much easier. The new brochure replaces nine separate townshipspecific brochures by combining all the relevant information a local or visiting dog owner needs into one simple, user-friendly publication. It features a series of basic township maps with offleash, timeshare and dog-free zones clearly colour coded, and also contains basic information about responsible dog ownership. Please remember that

your dog must be on leash if not in one of the designated off-leash areas. The new brochure is now available at www. surfcoast.vic.gov.au/dogreview.htm and from all Surf Coast Visitor Information Centres and the shire offices in Grossmans Road.

Cool program for next school holidays If you’re a Surf Coast resident aged between 12 and 24, you may be interested in applying for our Youth Casuarina Program, which council’s Youth Development Team coordinates. Designed specifically for young people, this professionally facilitated development program aims to get participants thinking about what young people living around here need. It also develops their leadership skills and confidence so they can actively contribute to making their ideas happen. The program includes plenty of outdoor and fun activities while learning and working with other young people from across the shire. I strongly believe that the skills learnt will benefit participants now and in future. The three-day live-in program will be run during the upcoming school holidays from October 5-7 at the Anglesea Recreation Camp. Applications close on Friday September 16. More information and the program application form are available at www. surfcoast.vic.gov.au/youth_casuarina.htm

Skate park to honour Lorne stalwart Following requests from several Lorne community organisations and a petition carrying more than 180 signatures, council recently announced its intention to name the skate park on the Lorne foreshore the Kay Langan Lorne Skate Park. This title acknowledges Kay Langan’s substantial contributions, spanning almost 60 years, to Lorne’s business and community life, including her pivotal role in bringing the skate park into being. Council has begun the formal process of having

the new name officially recognised and recorded. After the approvals have been given, suitable signage will be installed at the skate park.

Torquay Theatre Troupe scoops the pool The recent Anglesea One Act Play Festival provided a prize boon for local performers, with our amateur theatre groups taking home nine of the 15 awards on offer. Anglesea Performing Arts won the Encouragement Award for its production of Golden Leaves while Torquay Theatre Troupe really scooped the pool. Between them the troupe’s two plays, The Knowing and God Willing, won eight major performing and production awards. Congratulations to all on a first class effort.

On your bike for Amy If you haven’t already registered to ride in Amy’s Gran Fondo or the shorter Community Ride, it’s time to get on your bike. Both rides start in Lorne on Sunday September 18 and offer cyclists the opportunity to ride along a car-free Great Ocean Road throughout the event’s duration. Organisers are offering free entry to the first 500 Surf Coast residents to register for the Community Ride. To register online, go to www.amygillett.org.au/ community-ride and use the following free entry codes: AGORRC (child), AGORRA (adult) or AGORRF (family).

Crime stats on the slide BY LUKE GRIFFITHS STATISTICS RELEASED by Victoria Police last week show crime in the region has fallen by 15 per cent in the past year. In the 12 months ending June 2011, there were 2,213 offences recorded in the Surf Coast police service area – which comprises both the Surf Coast and Colac Otway Shires – compared to 2,613 offences in the previous 12 months. The only two categories to record an increase in offences were car theft (up 19 per cent) and non-residential burglaries (up 13 per cent).

“Our main concern is non-residential burglaries, relating mainly to commercial premises in the central business district of towns within the Surf Coast and Colac Otway Shires. “Also of concern is the increase in theft of motor vehicles. We have also experienced a small increase in tractor thefts,� Surf Coast Local Area Commander Inspector Bruce Kitchen said. Torquay Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator David Cheatley said local residents always needed to be mindful of locking their cars and to not leave valuable possessions inside. “Some people think they’re immune to car theft,

only realising they’re not when they wake up and their car’s gone. We (Neighbourhood Watch) have a slogan: Lock it. Remove it. Or lose it. However, many people continue to ignore this slogan.� Residential burglaries and assault experienced the biggest reduction in recorded offences, down 28 per cent and 25 per cent respectively. The number of road fatalities road is down one compared to the previous 12 month period and serious collisions have been on the decline with road injuries falling from 250 to 234. However, as the warmer months approach and traffic dramatically increases so too will the police presence.

“During the coming months the community will see an increased police presence on our roads to ensure road safety. We’re also gearing up for the schoolies and summer holiday period,� Inspector Kitchen said. He and Mr Cheatley agreed it wasn’t only the police who can play an important role in further reducing crime in the region. “I ask that the community reports anti-social behaviour on the street and motorists who are doing the wrong thing – if this communication occurs our area will be a lot safer,� Inspector Kitchen added.

At the community’s Baeck and call BY LUKE GRIFFITHS AFTER MORE than 37 years in the police force, you might think recently retired Detective Leading Senior Constable Greg Baeck would be keen for a break. Think again. “I can’t sit still. I like to keep busy. Maybe after another three or four years of part-time work I’ll think about holidays,� Mr Baeck said. Only a month after his retirement from the Torquay Criminal Investigation Unit, Mr Baeck, 56, is doing part-time work at the Torquay Golf Club and PodMX. On top of that he is a member of the local fishing club and current Chairman of Torquay’s Marine Rescue Service after an extended stint as boat captain.

Mr Baeck was born in Kyneton and joined the police force at 19, first being stationed in Melbourne, then Geelong, before being a founder member of the Torquay CI Unit in 1988. “When I first moved here Torquay was a sleepy little hollow but now it’s quickly turning into suburban Geelong. Back then everyone knew everyone and quite often I would help solve problems by simply talking to people in the supermarket. Torquay has lost that small town feel, but I never plan on leaving,� Mr Baeck said. Mr Baeck believes the police force taught him many valuable life lessons and looks forward to catching up with colleagues in the months and years ahead. “Policing is a terrific career with fantastic

camaraderie – that probably kept me in it (the police force) for a bit longer. However, I won’t miss the paperwork because the advent of computers certainly didn’t reduce the amount of paperwork I dealt with,� Mr Baeck said. “In the police you learn the discipline you need to have in life. You’re constantly dealing with all levels of society, talking to everyone, respecting everyone, although they don’t always respect you. “I made some great friends in the police force and hope to see them forever in a day.� Mr Baeck, who has four children, plays golf at least once a week and hopes the reduced workload will be reflected in his handicap. “I used to play off seven, but now I’m off nine – maybe too much work in recent years had something to do with that.�

A NEW conservation network is weeding out threats to native vegetation along the coast and you can help starting with your own backyard. The Otway Community and Conservation Network (OCCN) is working to reduce the threat of two invasive weed species, boneseed chrysanthemoides monbilifera and bridal creeper asparagus asparagoides. OCCN project facilitator Luke Hynes said boneseed and bridal creeper are regarded as two of the worst weeds in Australia due to their invasiveness and potential for spread. “Boneseed and bridal Creeper are emerging weeds in this area and it is essential that we control these weeds before they become established,” Mr Hynes said. Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) Officer Craig Clifford says that the weeds will be removed from public and private land, giving landholders an important role to play in controlling the weeds. “We have been getting on top of infestations in some of the DSE managed areas but this is a great opportunity to assist adjacent private landholders,” Mr Clifford said. September is the peak flowering period for both species and the network is preparing for a busy control period. “September is the best time to control both of these species. The yellow boneseed flowers in particular are very easy to spot and control. “It is important that coastal residents look out for these weeds and are proactive in removing these weeds from their backyards,” Mr Hynes said. During the early flowering period of August, OCCN mapped all known infestations of boneseed and bridal creeper across the project area, which includes land from Anglesea to Port Campbell and through to Colac. “With infestations in the project area mapped

we can get stuck into control works before the plants set seed in October,’’ Mr Hynes said. The mapping is guiding OCCN during the prioritisation process, which will determine the most important sites for weed removal. High priority sites include smaller, outlying infestations around Wye River, Kennett River, Borongarook, Deans Marsh and Bambra and heavier infestations between Lorne and Anglesea. Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC)

Conservation Officer Georgie Beale says that GORCC will be removing weeds in Anglesea with the help of funding from OCCN. “OCCN has done a wonderful job coordinating all the conservation groups, which was a large job in itself,” Ms Beale said.

Revised precinct masterplan BY LUKE GRIFFITHS COMMUNITY AMENITIES that include an early childhood centre, skate park and indoor stadium are the key features of a revised Surf Coast Community and Civic Precinct masterplan. The revised masterplan relates to stage two of the project and was endorsed at a recent council meeting. The completion date is yet to be determined and will be subject to the Council’s capital works and budgetary planning processes. The amendments to the initial plan were based upon a recent opportunity study conducted by the Sweett Group and aimed at identifying preferred options for the 7.4 hectares of land left for development. The needs of young children and the region’s youth were the primary focus of the revisions. Another major feature of the stage two works is a 1.5 hectare area at the south-east end of the site that will be developed into residential dwellings. The number of house allotments will be determined by further detailed planning and design. “Planning for this site has always included an area for residential development with income from the sale of this land helping to fund community facilities,� Surf Coast Shire Infrastructure Director Sunil Bhalla said. “The revised masterplan provides a better interface between the facilities and residential development than was the case in the original 2007 masterplan.� Surf Coast Mayor Dean Webster said the revised plan was the product of extensive research, specialist input from various experts and consultation with key stakeholders that included sporting and other community groups.

“We expect stage two to include a range of important recreation and community facilities in addition to the second AFL oval and two extra soccer pitches that were already included in the existing design,� Cr Webster said. “Key components (of the revised plan) include an early childhood centre, cricket nets, a skate park, adventure playground and multi-use indoor stadium.� Spring Creek Community House Coordinator Laura Connor said the new facilities would be a boost for the entire region. “I think the new services will enhance what we already have in the community, especially the early childhood centre considering the area is absolutely desperate for childcare and kindergarten facilities,�

Local skateboarder Ben Webb has mixed feelings about the skate park that will be built at the Surf Coast Community and Civic Precinct.

BY HAMISH BROOKS THE STATE Parliament’s decision to make owners culpable for dog attacks has been welcomed by a woman attacked by a dog in Moggs Creek. Kylie Wilson was riding along the beach with her husband in June when she was bitten on her thigh by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Blue Heeler cross. “We were riding along the shoreline towards Fairhaven when we passed three women walking a dog that was off leash and running ahead of them up the beach,� she said. “When we got up to the dog it ran around us three or four times before jumping up and biting me on the thigh. “The owners gave no indication that their dog might do something like that. When they got up to us I was yelling ‘your dog bit me’, but they denied it, put their dog on the leash and kept walking. They didn’t offer to assist.� In pain and shock, Mrs Wilson went home to clean and dress the wound before being advised to go to Lorne Hospital where she received an antibiotic injection, a tetanus injection and a five day course of oral antibiotics. “I’d never been bitten and couldn’t believe how painful it was,� she said. “I don’t think the women realised how strong their dog was and that it could be capable of doing the same thing to a child. I’ve got two small kids of my own, it could have been them. “I think it’s a good thing that the government has looked into the issue further.�

Ms Connor said. It is not yet known how many children will be catered for at the planned early childhood centre. Local skateboarder Ben Webb said a larger skate park was needed to accommodate the surge in numbers during peak holiday periods. “Although it would have been good for the council to extend the existing skate park, as long as the new park is a decent size and includes a roof and lights so we can skate longer hours, it’s ok. It should be built on a grand scale,� Mr Webb said. The existing skate park in Beach Road will continue to operate in its present form.

WINCH ready in a pinch BY HAMISH BROOKS THE state-of-the-art Winchelsea Community Hub is drawing ever closer to its official opening, after council handed over a key to the building. Chairman of the Eastern Reserve Committee of Management Barry Stevens said the council gave him the key to the $2.5 million dollar building at a meeting last Wednesday night. “It’s coming along very nicely,” he said. “The power’s just about fully connected and we’ve got the key so we can start doing bits and

pieces, start bringing some furnishings in and filling it out with memorabilia. “We’re looking to have the actual official opening on Saturday, November 5 – the week before the Winchelsea festival. “Council are still working on some outside landscaping and car parking, which they’ll start in the next week or two.” The popularity of the new facility and just what it means to the community was highlighted in midAugust when a walk-through saw the WINCH (Winchelsea Integrated Neighbourhood Community

Hub) Hub open from 11-5 instead of 11-1 as originally planned because of the large number of people that came to view it. “Most of the people who attended were amazed at just how good a facility it was,” said Mr Stevens. “It’s taken a lot of work over four years to get to where we are now. “The oval and netball courts are done, the lights are going in, it’s looking a million dollars.” Mr Sparrow acknowledged the project had come a long way from the initial grant application. “The Federal Government granted us $2 million;

the Surf Coast Shire Council put $400,000 towards it; and $100,000 came from the community, $70,000 of which was from the Winchelsea Festival and the other $30,000 from the Bendigo Community Bank,” he said. “Also, YMCA are setting up an independently run gym in there in the near future, which they’re fitting out with $100,000 worth of equipment which will be for community use.” Surf Coast Council ran a competition to name the WINCH Hub, with the winner to be announced shortly.

TIME IS running out for residents keen to have a say in a new coastal management plan. The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) wants people passionate about the coast to be part of a reference group and to provide input and feedback throughout the development of the plan aimed at management of GORCC coastal reserves over the next five years and beyond. GORCC CEO Richard Davies said the plan would identify the actions required for sustainably managing our coastal reserves and setting out a framework for achieving their implementation. “The plan will identify a long term vision for the coast, covering every element of coastal management from access to infrastructure to environmental protection and everything inbetween.

“The Community Reference Group is one of the ways we will be collaborating with the community to identify what we all value about the coast, and how we should protect and manage those values into the future. “Members will be sought to ensure a cross section of different perspectives and interests amongst the community is represented,” Mr Davies said. He added that GORCC would offer a variety of other ways for the community to participate in the creation of the plan, ranging from postal and online surveys to workshops. For more information about the reference group and its terms of reference visit www.gorcc. com.au, or call (03) 5220 5055. Expressions of Interest for the Community Reference Group close on Friday, September 16 at 5pm.

Council’s climate strategy BY HAMISH BROOKS SURF COAST Shire officers have been touring the shire, informing residents about how to secure grant funding and what the council is doing about climate change. Director Sustainable Communities Dennis Barker said some 30 prospective grant applicants attended last week’s information sessions in Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne, Aireys Inlet and Wincheslea to find out more about Council’s 2011 Small Grants Program. “The sessions aimed to help local community groups to enhance their chances of success in applying for a 2011 grant,” he said. “There are two more opportunities for prospective applicants to find out more with sessions taking place this week in Deans Marsh on Tuesday (today) and Moriac on Thursday. “Applications for this round close on 30 September with another funding round available in March 2012.

“Applications can also now be submitted via the online form on council’s website, which also contains more information about the grants program and application guidelines.” Mr Barker said the sessions had also been helpful in gaining the community’s feedback on council’s draft Climate Change Strategy. “Those who attended indicated that they appreciated the opportunity to discuss their concerns about climate change face-to-face with council officers and gain an insight into council’s approach to addressing the issue. “Waste management appears to be a priority area, based on the number of conversations around green waste and treating waste to reduce emissions. “Given waste is the shire’s major emissions source, this is no surprise really. “I would encourage anyone with an interest in climate change to attend the sessions being held in Deans Marsh and Moriac, or to complete the online survey that can be accessed on council’s website.”

You’re thinking I would love to get outside and enjoy the daylight and improved weather. You put on your runners and get outside and pound the pavement, whether it be running or even walking. But then the weather turns and your exercise stops for a number of weeks. Sound familiar? A fantastic way to motivate yourself to exercise more regularly is to set yourself some health and fitness goals. Now your goal could be as simple as losing weight, putting on muscle tone or just to improve your general fitness. It could even be to enter a fun run, open water swim or complete a long distance cycle event (maybe not the Tour de France just yet). A good way to choose your goal is to use the SMART Goal Setting principle. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. For your goal to have meaning and substance it is not as simple as saying “I just want to lose weight.” A SMART way would be to say “I want to reach a goal weight of 80Kg within 6 months, which for my size is attainable and realistic.” Once your goal is set it is vitally important to set down ways in which to achieve the goal. A great way is to write yourself or have Personal Trainer write you out a training program. The benefits of having your own program is that it gives your training structure and enables you to stay on track towards your ultimate goal. By logging each days training session you are able to see how you are progressing toward your goal which is a fantastic motivating tool in your pursuit of your ultimate goal.

Jetts Fitness Geelong owner Scott Dumbell has set the standard over 108 other clubs across Australia, taking out the coveted National Club of the Year Award at the recent Jetts Fitness National Awards ceremony. Since opening in 2009, Scott has led the club from strength to strength, also taking out the State Franchisee of the Year Award on the night. Mr Dumbell said he was delighted to be the first in the company’s history to win the Australian Club of the Year title, and said his secret to success was simple. “As well as running the club at a business level, Danny and I are committed to taking the time out to see how we can improve the local community that supports us,” Mr Dumbell said. “It’s little things like this that make a big difference to a member and help establish trust, which is incredibly important in this industry.” Through Jetts, Scott donates to local disability group Rainbow Riders each month as well as sponsoring the Geelong West Roosters, Bell Post Hill Panthers, Torquay Tigers and a local pro golfer, James McLean and 400m runner, Fraser Russell. The awards were judged on a number of categories and clubs were monitored intensely by their local Business Performance Managers. Managing Director and Judge of the awards, Brendon Levenson, said Scott demonstrated a great deal of consistency when it came to cementing his club as the best in the network. “Scott demonstrated the core ability to keep the club thriving financially, while also devoting his time and resources into the Geelong community,” Mr Levenson said. “At Jetts Fitness we take customer service extremely serious and this award is just one of the ways we reward our clubs and staff for their hard work and dedication to the job.”

Jetts Geelong member, Jayden Allen said Scott’s pride in looking after the club and his members was why he thought Geelong was named the best club in the country. “Having been a member at many gyms in my time, I’ve never come across an owner that put as much effort into the presentation and day-to-day running of their club as Scott does,” Mr Allen said. Scott also owns Jetts Torquay, which he opened in October last year and has plans to open a third club this year in Belmont. About Jetts Fitness:

• Launched in 2007 by husband and wife, Brendon and Cristy Levenson • Introduced the 24/7, contract free gym model to Australia • Currently has 108 clubs in Australia and over 100,000 members • 25 further clubs scheduled to open in 2011 • 100% Australian owned Media contact: for further information or to arrange an interview, please contact Angela Harper or Millie Yervantian at Clemenger Public Relations on (07) 3833 3666.

Piping up and down

09

Access Equipment now available from Torquay Hire

BY HAMISH BROOKS THE COMPANY responsible for the sewage leak in the Anglesea River has decided replacing the pipe in its entirety is the best fix-it option. Barwon Water issued a release saying they will construct a new sewer pipe beneath the Anglesea River to replace the damaged main shut down earlier this month. General Manager Water Systems Carl Bicknell said a detailed investigation into repair options concluded that the best solution was complete replacement. “Constructing a new pipe crossing by boring beneath the river bed will better protect this sensitive environmental area and minimise disruption to residents and visitors,� Mr Bicknell said. Work is scheduled to be completed by Christmas. Since the pipe ruptured, Barwon Water has been unable to transfer recycled water from the Aireys Inlet storage lagoons to the Anglesea reclamation plant. The lagoons are nearing capacity because wet weather has cut demand for the recycled water for irrigating tree lots. Barwon Water has been forced to truck the recycled water to the Lorne and Anglesea reclamation plants, which do not rely on land irrigation. This will continue until a temporary aboveground bypass pipe, from the Coogoorah Park recreation reserve on the west side of the river to the corner of Wray Street and Bingley Parade on the east side, is established. The temporary pipe will follow existing walking tracks, and will be operating within six weeks, subject to obtaining necessary approvals.

Works at Fisherman’s Beach are on schedule to be ready for the summer holiday period.

Fisho’s ready by Christmas BY LUKE GRIFFITHS TORQUAY’S FISHERMAN’S Beach redevelopment is on track to be completed in time for the busy summer holiday period. The $2.8 million project includes new facilities for the Torquay Angling Club and Torquay Marine Rescue Service, as well as new public toilets, a kiosk, community meeting room and improved parking and traffic flow. Despite consisting of little more than concrete slabs and building frames at present, all concerned parties are confident that everything will be up and running before Christmas. “I prefer to be an optimist rather than a pessimist, so I still believe it’ll be finished by Christmas. We’ve actually been told it’s ahead of schedule,� Torquay Angling Club Commodore Steve Burton said. Currently operating out of two portable huts, Mr Burton said the new facilities could not come quick enough. “It’s obviously a bit of an inconvenience to be

based in two portable huts so we’re keen to move in as soon as possible. We’ll get in there very quick after we’ve got the go-ahead, even if there’s only power and water initially,� Mr Burton said. The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC), who is overseeing the entire project, is happy with the progress that is being made, highlighting the recent opening of an access roadway to the precinct as proof. “The project is running to budget and is on track to be finished by Christmas. The structural steel work is now complete and significant progress has been made on the Marine Service’s building. The main building is also well underway,� GORCC CEO Richard Davies said. Behmer and Wright, the building company responsible for the redevelopment, is echoing a similar line to that of GORCC. “Everything’s going well despite some weather issues and we expect the planned schedule to be met. It’s progressing well and the buildings are really starting to take shape,� Behmer and Wright Contract Administrator Trenton Dalvean said.

Torquay College students are celebrating their state championship finals victory, in a season where they remained undefeated. Photo: NAOMI MADIGAN

Young guns win cup BY HAMISH BROOKS TORQUAY’S NEXT ‘super group’ of footballers have finished state champions, winning both their round robin finals games last week to ensure they remained undefeated for the entire competition. Coach Darren Findling of the combined Grade 5 and 6 team said the boys played 15 games for 15 wins as they moved through the

four divisions to the Grand Final. The wins were all by good margins and the two games of the Grand Final saw that pattern repeated. “The first game we played against Apollo Parkways and we came out firing in the first quarter and wiped them off the park,” he said. “We were a bit worried about the next game because that team were a very good side but we won comfortably in the end.

“The boys were all super pumped and celebrated by singing Achy Breaky Heart – an in-house joke, but loved by the crowd. “They all got medals and a Sherrin footy each, donated by the Collingwood Football club.” The medals and footies were officially presented at Monday assembly, with Mitch Chafer awarded Player of the Finals and captain Gryan Miers awarded Player of the Season.

ONE OF the worst winter erosion seasons for many years is set to end as spring arrives. Across late June and early July, some beaches in the surf coast region suffered the equivalent of 10 years worth of erosion in two weeks. According to GORCC coastal projects manager Mike Bodsworth damage has varied from site to site and no one assessment can be applied to the whole coast. “Erosion on the west coast usually occurs due to a combination of tides with storm surges associated with a weather system that brings westerly winds. “Over winter, high wave energy erodes sand from the shoreline and deposits it offshore, while usually in spring and summer the changing sea breeze and low energy waves means that the sand is deposited back on the shoreline.” According to Neal Moodie, National Manager Marine Services at the Bureau of Meteorology, three major components contributed to the erosion through the winter: strong winds, high ocean levels and massive swells. “Wind gusts reached between 100 - 140 kilometers per hour in Tasmania and Victoria,” he said. “Sea level recordings were up to 60 cm above normal.” He said the huge swells were caused by southwesterly winds generated near Antarctica, which reached sustained speeds over 100 kilometres per hour for almost a week. “Unfortunately, when such conditions combine, coastal areas become vulnerable to the ferocity of the ocean. “Abnormally high ocean levels allow swells to break closer to the coastline and erode beach dunes more easily.”

Some parts of the Surf Coast suffered ten years worth of erosion in a matter of two weeks across June and July, but the sand should return during spring and summer.

Scorched hat fits well TORQUAY’S SCORCHED restaurant was awarded a coveted Chef’s Hat at The Age Good Food Guide awards last week. What began with an anonymous critical review eventually led to the restaurant attaining ‘one hat’ status just 18 months after owners James and Leanne White and Vanessa Joachim took over the business. The trio said they never set out to receive critical acclaim and were surprised when they received an invitation to the prestigious award ceremony in Melbourne. “There were plenty of celebrity chefs there so I was a bit star struck. It was a really fun night with no shortage of champagne on offer,” Mrs White joked. “To earn a ‘hat’ was never our aim, but we’ll take it all the same.” The restaurant focuses on share-plates, which helps create a lively atmosphere for diners. The share-concept has proved in the past to be a big hit in Melbourne, but has only recently become readily available outside the metropolitan area. “Share plates is really what we encourage. It creates a really social feel and quite often we’ll get an entire family or a large group sharing plates all night,” said Mr White, Scorched’s head chef. The Good Food Guide published its 32nd edition last week and remains one of Australia’s most respected food reference guides. Scorched owners Leanne and James White and Vanessa Joachim are thrilled their Torquay restaurant was recognised at last week’s Good Food Guide awards night.

Surf school on show BY SAM SUENDERMANN STUDENTS AT the Sports Education and Development Australia (SEDA) surfing program are holding an information evening to showcase students work. Prospective students, parents, people within the surf industry and the general public are invited to attend, with a number of presentations from the students and Surfing Victoria’s Operation Manager Pete Murphy and SEDA director Chris Reidy on hand to explain the program’s benefits. The program offers students the opportunity to study surf related subjects, achieve surf coaching and judging qualifications and work in a chosen field of the surf industry one day a week. “It is such a great way to promote the program and

show everyone in the community what the students have achieved,� SEDA program co-coordinator Stui Hawken said At the end of the three year course each student will receive their Certificate III, Certificate IV and diploma in Sport and Recreation, senior VCAL certificate and a VCE certificate of completion. Students are able to improve their overall fitness with dedicated surfing and workout sessions. “This is my first year in the program and I am really enjoying it,� SEDA student Grace Robertson said. “I am surfing nearly every day and most of the work we are doing is based around what interests me.� The evening will run from 6:30-8.30pm and will take place at the Surfworld Museum in Torquay on Wednesday, September 14.

A high seas adventure awaits on the Young Endeavour.

It challenges your expectations

GEELONG

THE FUN BEGINS WITH YOU

and teaches you about your own strengths,� said Hannah Richards, 18, who recently completed a voyage from Hobart to Sydney – and loved it. During each voyage, youth crew learn the skills to sail a square-rigged tall ship. Each youth crew member has the opportunity to climb to the top of the 30 metre mast, set and furl sails, keep lookout, navigate using the ship’s charts, and take the helm. Once they have learned these skills, the youth crew takes command for 24 hours. Since 1988 the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme, in partnership with the Royal Australian Navy, has provided challenging training voyages for over 11,000 young Australians in Young Endeavour. Applications for the ballot will be accepted until 30 September, 2011. For more information on dates and fees, or to apply for voyages in Young Endeavour, visit www.youngendeavour.gov.au

Margaret’s Story Jan Juc was a remote surf coast town when Margaret and Rob first moved there in 1981. There were no big city comforts, and only a handful of permanent residents so the prospect of professional opportunities was looking slim. In the larger companies, people just did not leave so when the opportunity came up to work for Alcoa of Australia, Margaret was willing to test out her organisational skills in the role of receptionist at the Anglesea Power Station. Back then it was manual typewriters, then electric typewriters before the electronic revolution of word processing and computers came to the office at Alcoa. Adept at administration, Margaret worked in procurement before embarking on a new document management system along with other special projects. With one school aged child, a full time job, and various community activities; Margaret became a very busy person and was keen on keeping some work life balance. Seven years into the job at Alcoa, Margaret’s husband Rob joined the company and Margaret had her 2nd child. If Margaret wasn’t busy enough she then volunteered on various local school and Kindergarten committees before challenging Alcoa to a Job Share possibility so she could maintain her career. Margaret said, “Alcoa was one of the first companies to introduce job sharing in 1991. At the time they wanted to give employees a greater capacity to coordinate work, family and other commitments so for me, I got to experience reduced work/non-work conflict while retaining the benefits of secure employment for my family.” As a young working mother, Margaret learned to appreciate both working and living locally. Her passion for the environment and the elements became part of her DNA and she quickly became involved in more community activities. A keen netballer, Margaret joined the Torquay Netball Club for a number of years as a player and committee member; she is now a Life Member at the Club. Margaret and her husband Rob also volunteer for the infamous Clean up Australia Day each year and a few years ago volunteered and lived onsite as the Rangers for the Eumerella Scout Camp in Anglesea. Margaret McDonald is now celebrating her 30 years of service at Alcoa, and has

recently completed her Diploma in Business Administration at Macquarie Commercial College, Geelong. Margaret and her family are proud of their charity and environment efforts, earning them respect and friendship throughout the community both personally and professionally. This week at work, Marg (as her peers call her) has launched the “Recycle for Site” campaign with the Lions, and is hoping to collect old reading glasses and sunglasses to give to the 3rd world. In asking Margaret why she has stayed working at Alcoa for so long? “I have been able to work on different projects, improve my skills and develop initiatives that have gone company wide, and I can still see the trees and the water when I travel to work. I have enjoyed my work and Alcoa has been a great place of employment. From a local perspective, the Anglesea Power Station was here before I was and has offered many training and development opportunities to both me and my husband. I enjoy my work life balance at Alcoa and love having the opportunity spending time with my family especially my 4 ½ year old grandson.

THE JOY of a new pup is a fantastic time for all the family - everyone loves a cute pup to play with. Puppies need to learn quickly how to behave correctly in their new home and this avoids behavioural traits that may not be so cute – such as chewing your shoes or urinating inside. Puppy pre-school provides a safe environment for a pup to test its social skills, helping them gain a wider knowledge of how to behave and interact with other dogs and people in public places. Torquay Animal House runs a three-week puppy pre-school course for puppies ranging from 9-12 weeks. Issues covered include nutrition, toilet training, basic obedience and behaviour, as well as expert advice about your puppy’s health. The first six months of your puppy’s life determines who they will become as adult dogs. Temperament, character and behaviour are developed during this socialisation period and will last a lifetime. It affects how your puppy will relate to their family, strangers, animals and the environment in which they live. Puppy socialisation is an essential ingredient in building and strengthening the bond with your dog. The time you put in now will be well rewarded. Call Torquay Animal House on 5261 6486 to enquire about upcoming classes. Bailey with Marley, Charlie and Minnie, all 12-week old Labrador pups from Freshwater Park Labradors.

In a day’s work BY LUKE GRIFFITHS TORQUAY RESIDENT Dale Hemley is one determined man. Not only has he qualified for the gruelling Hawaiian Ironman World Championships for the third time, he is trying to build a school at the same time. Mr Hemley is sports coordinator at Geelong’s Christian College and is using this year’s Championships as an opportunity to help raise funds for a much-needed school in East Timor. He has asked every student at the school to raise $10 and then run or walk 10km. If students are successful in achieving their goal, then every class at the school will raise a minimum of $226 and will have run or walked a minimum of 226km – the total distance covered in an ironman event (3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and 42.2km marathon). “Christian College and East Timor have a longstanding relationship, with the school involved in the rebuilding of schools and other facilities in the country for more than 10 years,” Mr Hemley said. “It’s nice to be able to share my personal goal of competing in the World Championships with the students at Christian College. “I hope to help engender a passion and desire for students to strive for their goals and to share their abilities in an effort to help others.” Students at the school are excited to be able to contribute to such a good cause at the same time as doing exercise. “It’s a really good opportunity to get fit and raise money. We learn a lot about East Timor in school so it’s great to be able to help raise money for them,” Year 6 student Alexandra Wright, 11, said. After taking up triathlons just eight years ago after

returning to Australia following an extended working holiday in Europe, this will be Mr Hemley’s third appearance at the Hawaiian Championships. After battling injuries for the past three years, he qualified for Hawaii via an event in New Zealand in March, finishing third in the 35-39 age division and 19th overall in a time of 9 hours and 16 minutes. “I would really like to ask the local community to help support this fund raiser and hopefully increase the amount of money we can raise for the project,” Mr Hemley said. For further information on the East Timor project, including how you can donate, contact the school on (03) 5241 1899.

Greedy fishing Dear Editor, Many of your readers will have recently seen the ABC documentary called The Cove detailing the annual mass slaughter of 23,000 dolphins by a small cliché of unscrupulous, greedy fishing businesses in Taiji, Japan. Whilst I’m sure the public is universally horrified at the levels to which some people stoop for money, I can’t help but wonder about the small number of cafes and restaurants in our own area that continue to advertise billfish (Marlin, Swordfish and Sailfish) as the gastronomic plat de jour for potential diners. These fish are all top-of-the-foodchain predators just like dolphins. They are not commercially sustainable at any level and businesses that continue to sell them inadvertently inform the rest of us where their values really lie. Those that eat them can ponder whether the taste was worth the high mercury levels. Graeme Stockton Bellbrae

Victorians short changed Dear Editor, The Leader of the National Party, Peter Ryan, continues to try and pull the wool over the eyes of regional Victorian.The only person he is fooling is himself when he says that the Liberal National Government is spending $1 billion through its so-called Growth Fund. A quick look at the Government’s Budget papers reveal that regional Victorians have been short changed by providing only $500 million over the next four years. On further examination more than 70 per cent of these funds have been spent on election promises, leaving precious little to go around the regions for the next four years. This comes at a time when sadly too many workers in regional Victoria have lost their jobs, while the Baillieu-Ryan Government refuses to put in place a jobs plan for our regions and has scrapped the role of a dedicated Minister focussed on regional jobs creation and support. No wonder a recent report stated that “there is no one at the helm of the good ship Country Victoria”. Jacinta Allan Shadow Minister for Regional and Rural Development

of Corio. A plaque recording the 39th battalion’s battle near the village of Isurava in August 1942 was unveiled by Mr George Cops of Ocean Grove. I had the good fortune of sitting beside Mr Cops who, now in his 90th year, is as energetic as someone many years his junior. Mr Cops, aged just 19 years old, left from Sydney on Boxing Day 1941 aboard the fourfunnel Aquitania, one of the largest troop carriers of the day. Shortly afterwards he was involved in the Battle of Isurava, and on the second day of his six months on the Kokoda Track he celebrated his 20th birthday on 27 July 1942. Of the 1450 soldiers in the campaign there were 403 casualties, of whom 153 paid the supreme sacrifice. Mr Cops is one of 70 surviving members of the 39th battalion, and it was a delight to meet him on such an important occasion.

were drowning; climate change is shutting down the thermohaline circulation of the oceans; carbon dioxide is the principal driver of climate change; the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro are melting; Lake Chad in Africa is drying up; Hurricane Katrina was man made; polar bears are facing extinction and lastly coral reefs are being bleached. People are not being given the correct information on climate change. The planet is not under some dire threat from carbon dioxide emissions. Spending billions, if not trillions of taxpayers money on trying to correct a problem which doesn’t exist in reality to the extent claimed, is both mischievous and irresponsible. With so much misinformation going around, its no wonder people are confused on climate change. It’s on the basis of the above claims the Gillard Government is seeking to bring in its obnoxious Carbon Dioxide Tax.

Going the extra mile Dear Editor, I would just like to comment, as a long time taxi user on the fantastic service that I receive from the team of Bellarine taxi drivers. They work together and have been prevented from taking me back to my home on the Bellarine at times, because of the politics and the power that Geelong Taxis want. It seems to me that it’s not about caring for the customer with them but getting one over on the Bellarine Taxis. This town has to be big enough for both and give the Bellarine taxis a fair go. Barry Blessed Ocean Grove

Taxi flight paths Dear Editor, In response to Geelong Taxis’ Peter Valentine’s carp over taxis on the Bellarine “taking to their own flight path”, I have to say shame on you Mr Valentine. The Bellarine Taxi service is still with Geelong Taxis until September 19 and you’re complaining about it being sub-standard already. Where were you over the last few years Mr Valentine? If the service has been as bad as you say, ask yourself one question: what part did you play in that? Taxis on the Bellarine provide a friendly, reliable service and they know their way around the Peninsula.

Remembering Isurava and Kokoda

Gretal Meakin Point Lonsdale

Dear Editor, I recently had the pleasure of attending the Geelong and district National Servicemen’s Association of Australia fourth annual memorial service. The service was held on the front lawn of Osborne House, North Geelong, and commemorated the 69th anniversary of the battles of Isurava and Kokoda. This event is the initiative of Mr Neville Lewis, chairman of the Kokoda memorial project and immediate past president of the Geelong branch of the National Servicemen’s Association of Australia. Mr Lewis is also a past mayor of the former shire

Confusing people on climate Dear Editor, I see the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth was screened in Torquay recently. I wonder if presenter Damian Paull gave the people the following facts? The High Court in London in October 2007, said the Gore film contained at least nine errors. The Judge identified the following nine errors: sea levels would rise by six metres in the next century; Pacific Islands

Not a fishing fact Dear Editor, Your fishing writer unfortunately assumed a statement attributed to me in another newspaper about the damaged sewer pipe beneath the Anglesea River was correct. I was quoted as saying the pipe was carrying chemical and human waste and recycled water to the Anglesea water reclamation plant. What I said, in fact, was the pipe was transferring 85 per cent recycled water and 15 per cent domestic sewage from west Anglesea, not dangerous chemical waste. Your writer also claims community communication has been “non-existent”. To the contrary, warning signs were erected around the site immediately, river users and people nearby were spoken to by Barwon Water personnel and a number of key agencies, including the Environment Protection Authority, were notified the same day. While Barwon Water has been the target of some criticism, a number of residents and agencies have commended the corporation for the manner in which it has managed the incident. I would encourage anyone seeking the facts on this matter to visit Barwon Water’s website. www.barwonwater.vic.gov.au Carl Bicknell General Manager Water Systems, Barwon Water

Awaiting decision Dear Editor, Our community greatly appreciates your front page report of our opposition to the proposed location of Section 4C. Until forced, Labor and City of Greater Geelong persisted in an appalling lack of community consultation. The new State Government delivered their promised Public Hearing in May. Submitters, including Surf Coast Shire, at that review made it obvious that moving the road was essential. We await Minister Guy’s decision, which we trust will be the sensible, fair one – move the road much further south where it will serve all our communities much more effectively.

Anti-plastic? Fantastic! BY HAMISH BROOKS AN AVID campaigner against plastic in the marine environment is joining forces with locals to free Torquay from the unbiodegradable grip of plastic bags. Tim Silverwood, founder of Take 3, an initiative encouraging beach goers to take three pieces of litter away from the beach each time they visit, will be in town in mid-September to host film nights featuring the award winning documentary Bag It to increases awareness about the danger plastic poses to life in the ocean. Mr Silverwood has just returned from a trip to the Pacific Garbage Patch, a floating plastic soup in the Pacific Ocean formed by discarded plastic bags collecting where ocean currents converge. “The region where it is huge, twice as big as Australia,” he said. “But the area in the centre where it is more concentrated… when people make comparisons in size they say it’s as big as Texas. “I really try emphasise that it’s not a big floating island of trash but a plastic soup where you see a really high concentration of debris. “Where it gets frightening is the amount of unrecognisable fragments there that affect basically every animal in the entire food chain. “We found one nine-centimetre fish that had 84 pieces of plastic in its system.” Tim has partnered up with Plastic Bag Free Torquay for the film nights, which will explore the issues surrounding plastic bag use. Plastic Bag Free Torquay co-ordinator Stacie Bobele was pleased Mr Sherwood had joined forces with her organisation to tackle plastic waste and help us to raise awareness within the local community. Tim will host screenings and talk about his experiences at all three schools in the Torquay/Jan Juc area before the main screening for the general public on Saturday, 17 September at the St Therese Primary School auditorium. A barbeque dinner will start at 6pm, with music and stalls displaying products that help reduce plastic waste. The screening starts at 6.45pm. Tickets are $8.00 and are available at the door, or can be pre-purchased from Patagonia.

Could Torquay become plastic bag free.

Branches of art BY HAMISH BROOKS TWO BELLARINE Peninsula artists are branching out with an exhibition inspired by the majesty of trees. Barwon Heads’ Patsy Bush and Ocean Grove’s Debra Jackson are taking their unique styles to the Daylesford Convent for Aboretum, an exhibition created by their ‘artIS’ collective – a group of six artists with a studio in Geelong – have been working towards for over a year. Mrs Bush, a print maker who works in linocuts and etchings, has looked at things that live in an around trees and produced a series of vibrant, quirky works. “I love print making because there are so many different, experimental things you can do with it,” she said. Mrs Bush, who has been working as an art teacher and artist for over twenty years, said that all the artists exhibiting from artIS have benefited from sharing studio and gallery space in Geelong. “We all get and give feedback and really feed off each other to produce our art.” Ms Jackson said the Aboretum exhibition had allowed her to move on from a series about fallen soldiers featuring poppy fields as a main motif that she had been working on for three years. “It was interesting because my interpretation of trees came up as an overview, which was in keeping with the style of my previous series, but it really allowed me to explore different perspectives,” she said. Arboretum opened at the Daylesford Convent Gallery on the weekend and runs for the next eight weeks.

Industry Info

Slow year for real estate THIS IS our end of financial year report for the 2010/2011 financial year and, as usual, gives us a snap shot on what was generally regarded as a slower year for real estate. Interestingly the volumes are down across the board but the values have held up very well. For the purpose of these annual statistics, we only track house sales and a house is determined as being a freestanding dwelling on its own title. All data is sourced from the Surf Coast Shire. Anglesea saw the largest increase in its median house price of the towns we service to $660,000 up from $570,000 in the 09/10 financial year. The volume of sales was down significantly to 52 from 80 the previous financial year and the top sale was $2,180,000. Aireys Inlet saw a slight decrease in its median price to $606,000, down from $630,000 the previous year. There were only 19 house sales for the year, almost half of the year before when 34 house sales recorded. The top sale was $850,000. We combine Fairhaven, Moggs Creek and Eastern View for the purpose of our statistics as they are similar geographically and are obviously next door to each other. There were only 14 house sales recorded for the year which is the lowest since 05-06 when there were only 10. The average is only 18, making it probably the most tightly held area on the Surf Coast. The median house price actually fell from $850,000 to $750,000 yet a new record price in excess of $3,000,000 was set in the same period. We cannot disclose the exact price as we handled the sale and non disclosure was requested. Lorne saw an increase in its median house price

from $852,000 to $880,000, but again, the volume of sales was down. There were only 36 house sales, significantly down from 58 the year before. The top price for the year was $2,275,000. There was obviously sales of land, units and apartments throughout the financial year but it is house sales that we have traditionally tracked. Land purchases are popular in a quieter market as buyers often want to stagger their investment by securing a position now and building at a later date, therefore hedging their exposure to the market. Greater Geelong now has a population 220,068 (up from 194,478 in 2000) and most of our buying demographic comes from there. In terms of properties, Anglesea has a total of 3,100, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven, Moggs Creek and Eastern View have a total of 1,922 properties while Lorne has a total of 2,268 properties. These towns are all landlocked by National Park and cannot expand, so supply is very limited. Between 2000-2010 there were only 322 house sales sold in Aireys Inlet and 175 in Fairhaven. Between 2004-2010 there were only 260 house sales in Lorne. The median house price in Aireys Inlet in 2000 was $181,500 and in 2010 was $630,000 and the median house price in Lorne in 2000 was $380,000 (est.) and in 2010 was $850,000. As real estate markets rely on three main factors, supply, demand and sentiment, we feel we are very well placed. Positive sentiment is usually generated by the emotional attachment to the beauty of the area and the justification for purchase increases if a purchaser feels that they will get frequent use from their coastal property.

Solar scheme fairer PROPERTIES THAT install new roof-top solar panels to replace the current Premium Feed-In Tariff (PFIT) will soon reach its statutory capacity of 100 megawatts. Minister for Energy and Resources Michael O’Brien said the new solar scheme would provide a fair and reasonable incentive for households to install solar energy systems while a review into feedin tariffs is carried out by the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission (VCEC). The new scheme is not retrospective and does not affect those currently accessing the PFIT. “Renewable energy has an important role to play as Victoria makes the transition to a lower emissions future,� Mr O’Brien said. “The new TFIT scheme will provide a fair price to households feeding solar power back into the grid while also supporting the solar panel installation industry while the VCEC review is conducted. “The new TFIT will offer customers 25 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity that is fed back into the grid from their rooftop solar systems. “The new scheme will still mean people investing in rooftop solar systems will have an average payback period of less than 10 years, about the same as forecast when the PFIT scheme was first introduced. Since 2009, the cost of small scale solar systems has dropped by around 50 per cent and is predicted to continue to fall, reducing the need for high government solar incentives. The new TFIT will be available from January 1, 2012 for all customers with solar photovoltaic systems of five kilowatts or less. The tariff will be available for five years from the scheme’s commencement. Mr O’Brien said the current premium scheme was rapidly approaching the former Government’s

statutory cap of 100 megawatts. “People who have already paid a deposit or are already having solar systems installed must make sure all the required paperwork has been submitted before September 30,� Mr O’Brien said. Failure to meet the 30 September deadline will mean people will not be considered for PFIT. “I therefore urge anyone who has already paid their deposit for solar panels to ensure they chase up their suppliers and paperwork to meet the 30 September deadline,� Mr O’Brien said. Meanwhile, Australia’s peak electrical industry body, the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), expressed its disappointment at the Victorian Government’s decision not to continue with the 60 cents per kilowatt hour PFIT for small scale solar systems. NECA Victoria CEO, Mr Philip Green said the decision will affect the industry but the transitional measures announced will provide some level of comfort to electrical contracting business that have invested heavily in solar. “It’s certainly disappointing from an industry perspective that the 60 cents feed in tariff will soon be closed to new applicants,� Mr Green said. “However, NECA is pleased that the minister has taken on board our views by introducing a TFIT as this will certainly provide a softer landing for the solar industry and hopefully ensure its ongoing viability here in Victoria.� NECA would have preferred that the TFIT was higher than the announced 25 cents per kilowatt hour. “It’s probable, at a time of rapidly rising electricity costs, that over the five year life of TFIT the 25 cents rate will slip below the average retail electricity price. “While we welcome the review by the Victorian

Competition and Efficiency Commission, we call on the Government to index the TFIT to ensure it remains a fair and reasonable incentive for consumers to install solar systems,� said Mr Green. NECA is also pleased that the Victorian Government has listened to the advice which was provided to the minister’s office and the Department of Primary Industries with respect to the phasing out of PFIT. NECA was very concerned that customers who have already signed up for, or in the process of having solar panels installed, might have been locked out of PFIT if the scheme was closed overnight. Customers who have signed up or are having solar panels installed have until the 30 September deadline to ensure that all the required paper work has been submitted. “It’s extremely important that the Government works to ensure that the electricity distributors and retailers do their bit to ensure that customers are not delayed in meeting the 30 September deadline. “The Government needs to hold distributors and retailers to account for their actions during this time as there has been a considerable level of dysfunction and delay regarding their handling of paperwork and connections to date,� Mr Green said. While the Victorian Government’s handling of this matter has been far better than what we have seen from other state governments, there is no doubt that this decision will dampen demand. If there is to be any industry rationalisation, it is hoped that this is at the expense of the less scrupulous operators in the solar industry. “Consumers should be mindful that the design, quality and performance of their solar system will greatly affect their returns over the life of a system at the end of the day. Solar systems are like anything else – you get what you pay for,� Mr Green said.

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

Understanding the cost of your first home FIRST HOME buyer numbers have decreased recently as interest rates have risen, assistance has dropped and prices have increased. It’s important when working out your budget to be aware of the many costs associated with purchasing your own home. In addition to the $7,000 first home owner grant, those buying or building a new home can access thousands more through the bonus scheme; check with the State Revenue Office for the eligibility requirements. Before beginning the search for a new home, you should ascertain how much you can afford to borrow then obtain loan pre-approval from the bank. When combined with your savings, the amount you borrow has to cover more than just the cost of the property, such as the loan establishment fee, mortgage insurance and stamp duty. In Victoria, stamp duty on a property is currently as high as six per cent, depending on the value of the property. However, the State Government has cut stamp duty by 20 per cent for first home buyers. It may be worthwhile obtaining an independent valuation report on a property to indicate its current market value. The valuation must be conducted by a Certified Practising Valuer. Obtaining assistance and advice from a solicitor will help you navigate the relevant contracts. Fees are negotiable, so shop around and compare rates. Undertaking such a report may save you thousands of dollars in the future and will highlight the need to perform work on the property. Enzo Raimondo CEO REIV

YOUR GUIDE TO BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION ON THE SURF COAST & BELLARINE

Estuary’s bonus comes as a welcome surprise FOR RECENTLY engaged couple, Luke Thomas and Melissa Romano, purchasing their new home-site at Geelong’s premier community, ‘Estuary’ at Leopold, came with a welcome surprise. It wasn’t until the couple sat down with Estuary’s resident sales consultant to finalise their purchase that they realised they were eligible for a whopping $26,500 thanks to the first home owners grant for regional new homes. Mr Thomas said the grant provided a great incentive for first home owners to take the plunge and buy their own home. “When we first thought about buying our own home, we looked at the pros and cons of buying an established property versus building a new home,” Mr Thomas said. “With the opportunity to create our own home from scratch and the added bonus of an extra $26,500 in our pockets, we quickly realised it would be more beneficial to build a new home from the ground up.” Estuary is the latest residential community from the award-winning Villawood Properties, located in the thriving region of Greater Geelong. Mr. Thomas said Estuary’s positioning nearby to a host of existing amenities and surf beaches was another major draw-card. “Leopold is a great suburb with lots of shops nearby… once we move in to our new home at Estuary we’ll be able to walk to the Gateway Plaza to do our shopping and we’ll be just 12 minutes from the beach.” Villawood Properties executive director, Rory Costelloe, said Estuary’s quality and affordable land offerings, coupled with its location and on-site amenities, had impressed many first home buyers and young families who are looking to invest in the future. “As with any Villawood community, Estuary’s master plan is dedicated to parks, gardens and outdoor living facilities, including a series of beautiful wetlands complete with picnic facilities and boardwalks.” Estuary’s fabulous 20-home display village and land sales office are located at Shoaling Drive, Leopold. Enter via Melaluka Road. They’reopen every day between 11am and 5pm, so visit Alan Smith at the on-site sales office to register your interest or to find out more information about available land or their selection of well-priced house and land packages, call 1300 737 598 or visit www.estuaryleopold.com.au

Melissa Milano and Luke Thomas will be new residents of Estuary.

Local Building Advice with Rohan Smith

Buyer Beware: Geelong Residents Stung by Hidden Site Costs

The Geelong property market has recently received increased reports of landowners being stung by unexpected site costs when developing their properties.

‘If the price of land seems too good to be true, it probably is. Do your homework. The block may be sloping, narrow or irregular in which case you could end up paying higher building and site costs when you start building.’ Before you agree to buy or build, make sure you get your site costs upfront. Call Rohan and the team at GJ Gardner Homes on 5221 1447 to discuss your plans to build in Geelong. surfcoasttimes.com.au

HEALTHY DESIGN

the Key to Smaller and Smart Homes WITH GOVERNMENTS planning policies pushing for higher density and housing affordability at an all time low, well designed smaller and smarter sustainable homes are becoming more popular. Archicentre State Manager Victoria, David Hallett said, for the past two decades the family home has grown in size, however, with an eye on construction and running costs for many people wanting to enter into the housing market, small has become beautiful. “One of the misconceptions for people to overcome is that a small home is a mean home, or is of lower quality. This is not factual as a well designed small home can maximise the use of space to deliver a pleasant, healthy living environment to suit people’s lifestyle. Not everyone wants to live in a apartment and the solution is for a smaller smarter more sustainable home.” “A quick look around most homes usually finds that if people removed their clutter they could on average find they would have created an amount of space equivalent to a bedroom or a study.” Archicentre is finding more people are using its design concept service as the initial planning phase of their renovation or new home design before they commence commissioning finished drawings. “This service provides the opportunity for people to clarify their wish list for the new home and or renovation looking at the design and importantly the financial viability of the project,” Mr Hallett said. “Key issues being raised during the design consultation include health, lifestyle and increasingly sustainability on the back of sky

rocketing energy and water costs. “The noise factor has also become a major consideration with double glazing and sound proofing becoming a high priority for renovators and home builders who want to ensure peace within their home environment and cut out traffic noise. “Basically people want to create a quiet spot within their home environment where they can relax and unwind from a busy world away from the maddening crowd. “Period homes with little light are being transformed through atrium type extensions which provide more natural sunlight and viewing areas of gardens or water features. “Internal courtyards providing private ‘green viewing areas’ from many areas of the home have also become popular.” “The healthy home renovation trend is also extending into the types of materials used and eliminating those materials causing respiratory problems.”

Indoor/Outdoor Alfresco or open-air - ideally flowing from an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with bi-fold or stackable doors into a paved area or decking. Garden Design Multiple light-wells and courtyards around the home, bringing light and views to bedrooms

and living areas. Home Office With the rapid spread of telecommuting with broadband cable facilities for internet access or wireless access, more people are able to conduct business affairs from home. The home office is now an essential feature for the modern business.

Top Renovation Trends – Multi-purpose rooms are a new trend. – Kitchen and dining combined through high bench dining options. – Living and study. – Play room / study / guest bedroom. Low-maintenance living Paint-free architecture, earthy textures, very natural. Paved courtyards with an emphasis on drought resistance plants. Polished timber flooring is the epitome of low-maintenance.

Indoor / Outdoor Alfresco - ideally flowing from an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with bi-fold or stackable doors into a paved area or decking.

BY GEOFF ROUNDS JOE CAMILLERI is an iconic figure in Australian music and will headline the impressive musical talent line-up at the second annual Anglesea Music Festival. Since his first band The Drollies in the 1960s, Camilleri has fronted Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons and later The Black Sorrows where his songs began to cement their standing in the history of Australian music. It was in the 1980s that Camilleri gathered together a group of his musician friends and dubbed them The Black Sorrows. The band began playing for the fun of it, recording independent

albums and selling them out of the boot of a car. He is one of Australia’s most loved musicians and with The Black Sorrows, has sold over one million albums and after 25 years and numerous line-up changes, The Black Sorrows are still going strong. Camilleri was born in Malta – the third of 10 children – and moved to Australia when he was just two years old. For Camilleri, music was something that came from the heart as well as the home. “I never thought I’d be a musician, I just loved music,� Camilleri said. “Music is always evolving. You can’t resist change. I think we’re changing all the time,

there’s no stopping it. You have to keep going forward because your body’s changing, your mind’s changing (and) situations around you are changing. You either resist change or you go with it. I kind of like the idea: “Well, I’m going with it.� Camilleri, 63, was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 2007 and has been a trailblazer in helping pave the way for four generations of singers and songwriters during his 46-year career. Boasting an energy and love of music is what Camilleri says keeps him going and the punters coming back for more. Over the past 20 years, The Black Sorrows

have toured Australia more times than anyone can remember, playing sell-out shows across Europe and along the way picked up ARIA gongs for ‘Best Band’ and selling more than one million albums worldwide. But for now, the focus is on playing live and you can see Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows at this years 2011 Anglesea Music Festival on October 14, 15 and 16. Early bird tickets are now on sale for a short time, or until sold out. Regular tickets will then go on sale, at a slightly higher price. With over 90 performers during the weekend, a market, workshops and grassroots competition it is sure to be an unmissable event.

Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows will headline the 2011 Anglesea Music Festival.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

Spring into Riesling AS CLICHÉ’ as it sounds, Spring really does put you in a different mood doesn’t it? The warmer weather, sunny days, blossom, the reawakening of nature, all that and more. Speaking of reawakening, I’ve recently got back into Riesling again. It’s been off my wine radar for quite awhile now and having come across some recent releases by chance, my interest was piqued again for this wonderful aromatic white wine. The nouveau renaissance of Riesling at the moment is focussed on emulating the wonderfully precise, taut and off dry Germanic style that has a lower than normal alcohol content. Which is all very well and good if you’re into this style of wine, however, it’s the dry styles I’m focusing on here from three very different, but celebrated regions in their own right. The Clare Valley is synonymous with Australian Riesling lovers as a producer of some of the best crisp, dry aromatic wines, yet other regions like the Great Western region here in Victoria, and the Frankland River region in Western Australia also produce wonderfully definitive dry styles showing all the varietal characters of floral/citrus/mineral notes and cleansing acidity yet pronounced regional characteristics too. Here are three great examples that are worth considering.

Pikes Clare Valley Riesling 2010 ($20) As definitive in style and character as any you’ll see in the market place, this has amazing lifted floral and citrus notes on the nose that set the tone right from the start. With a tell tale mineral thread of lime juice and tangy acidity, this really impresses with every release, none more so than the 2010.

Best’s Great Western Riesling 2011 ($20) Wow, just bottled and showing amazing acidity, line, and length. Structure, structure, structure is what we’re talking about here and this will only get better and better. Spine-tingling fresh and zesty with tinges of lemon sorbet, lime, and talc with a little touch of residual fruitiness yet it’s completely dry on the finish‌ amazing for the price. Definitely one to watch‌

Shaken, stirred and naked ON THE back of the hilarious puppet show The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is Often I Find That I Am Naked. It is part of the shaken and stirred@gpac that is running through September and is Fiona Sprott’s ultra-modern black comedy and how dating in the 21st century can be complicated. With so many possible avenues to meet Mr Right, how many disastrous speed dates, mobile games and online fabrications must the modern woman endure to find her true love. Often I Find That I Am Naked is an outrageous comedy with pop songs for anyone who has ever dreamt of perfect love but woken up, hung over and naked in a stranger’s bed‌ or bathtub. It is a mix of Sex and the City meeting Bridget Jones’ Diary, in a madcap cabaret that takes a hilariously honest look at the ups and downs of single life. This black comedic piece of genius theatre has everything you could think of, from live music to cheesy pick-up lines and a guide to the dos and don’ts of the dating world. Sure to have audiences in fits of laughter and cringing in horror and features strong performances by Jo Thomas and Sam Clark. Often I Find That I Am Naked appears in the Drama Theatre on September 23 and 24 as part of shaken+stirred@gpac. For bookings phone (03) 5225 1200 or visit www.gpac.org.au and a warning that this production contains adult themes, strong coarse language, and partial nudity and is only suitable for audiences over 18 years.

Often I Find Than I Am Naked is a subtle mix of Bridget Jones’ Diary and Sex and the City.

Sweethearts wanted BY GEOFF ROUNDS THE SWEETHEARTS are on the hunt for new talent to join their line up for a hectic 2012. The all-girl band will be one of the must-see attractions at the upcoming Anglesea Music Festival on October 15 and 16. Surf Coast resident and bass player Georgia Kelly, 17, her spent the past three years in the band making solid friendships along the way. “I have loved every minute of my time with Sweethearts,� Georgia said. “You make life-long friends and get to play great music in the coolest venues. One of the best things is that we all get to gain a Certificate IV in Music, which counts towards our Year 12 VCE results, so we get recognised for doing what we love. I really enjoy the classes on music, writing our songs and learning about the music industry.� Sweethearts band director Ross Lipson is keen to keep the band at the forefront of learning music and is encouraging interested girls to consider joining as current members will be finishing school at the end of 2011. “We have a lot of members from the Surf Coast region,� Mr Lipson said. “If you are a girl musician, still at school, I want to hear from you. The band will offer you the opportunity to play fantastic gigs all over Australia and overseas. It is a great way to develop your musicianship and gain industry experience and we have already released seven CDs.�

THEY’RE GOOD looking. They’re humble. They recognise a good hook when a good hook comes a knocking. Their live show is going to mess you up and they’re bringing their show to the Torquay Hotel this Saturday, September 10. Melbourne nouveau yacht rockers The Vaudeville Smash began with three brothers, an intense love of good music and a desire to the give the kids something they’d never seen or heard before: nouveau yacht rock. Melodies and harmonies, hooks and feet tapping beats – song writing steeped in the traditions of the great Yacht Rock masters, but with a fresh and thoroughly unique approach. This year has already seen the band tour the USA, complete several national tours, win the popular audience vote on the New Music Stage at the St Kilda Festival, perform at the Apollo Bay Music Festival and launch their second EP Love Yachts Geronimo to a sold out crowds. This will be their last show in Victoria before the launch of their new double A-side single Breezy Summer Hits at the Corner Hotel on September 24. The Sweethearts’ bass player Georgia Kelly.

Torquay cleans up at play festival TORQUAY Theatre Troupe has emerged triumphant from the Anglesea One Act Play Festival, receiving eight gongs from a total of 13 awards. The tight-knit group entered two plays in the 22nd annual festival, which attracts entries from theatre companies throughout regional Victoria and Melbourrne. Airey’s Inlet resident and playwright Sandy Fairthorne took out the award for Best Original Play with The Knowing, making this an incredible fourth consecutive year that she has won this particular prize. Michael Lambkin received the Best Male Actor award for his performance as Albert in The Knowing, which explores the tensions within the relationship of a long-time married couple and also took out the runner-up prize for Best Production. But it was the company’s other entry, the hardhitting God Willing, that took out the festival’s top honour as Best Production. This powerful drama was inspired by the terrorist attack on a Mumbai hotel and earned Torquay’s Lisa Berry the Best Female Actor award as heavily pregnant hostage Nadia. Fellow cast member Rhiannon Hodgkinson received the Adjudicator’s Award for her

performance as gun-toting militant young woman Suria, and Fred Preston received the Best Supporting Male Actor for his off-stage voiceonly role. Festival co-ordinator Nikki Watson said the event was a great success and the audience was both entertained and challenged by the 15 plays

presented across the weekend. “It was such a fantastic atmosphere,” Mrs Watson said. “And the diversity of plays – from light comedies to dark dramas, through to experimental pieces open to individual interpretation – we had it all.”

Geelong Repertory Theatre Company’s production of Doubt begins this week.

Some Doubt

Sandy Fairthorne, Michael Baker, Rhiannon Hodgkinson, Terry Roseburgh, Carleen Thoernberg, Lisa Berry and Michael Lambkin from Torquay Theatre Troupe.

THE GEELONG Repertory Theatre Company’s production of Doubt is currently playing at the Woodbin Theatre. Directed by Sarah Freeman, Doubt is set in a New York Catholic school in 1964, where Father Flynn is trying to overturn the school’s strict customs, long guarded by Sister Aloysius. When Sister Aloysius suspects Father Flynn is paying too much attention to the school’s first black student, she begins a crusade to unearth the truth and remove Flynn from the school. The play runs from September 8-17 at 8pm and a matinee will be shown on Sept 11 from 2pm. Tickets are available through GPAC at 03 5225 1200 and www.gpac.org.au and for enquiries, call the theatre on 03 5229 1130 from 6:30pm on the performance night.

Romance and adventure are highlighted this week, as Venus and Mars spice up your love life. So take your partner on a magical journey, or go off searching for your soul mate. The pressure’s building at work but keep plugging away, and don’t expect instant results. The big lesson to learn is how to delegate. No one not even a capable Capricorn is indispensible.

You prefer to work on your own but this week’s stars favour nurturing partnerships, stabilising your support network, and taking on more responsibilities than usual. Be wary about starting arguments just for the sake of it – especially with family members. Single rams are in the mood for romance but don’t assume things will fall effortlessly into place.

Stimulate your brain cells through reading, writing, studying, researching, listening and observing. You’re also in the mood to streamline your domestic space as you renovate or style up a storm. The more organised you are at home, the more enthusiastic you’ll feel about work, relationships – and the future. Avoid making big financial moves on Friday.

Unresolved problems from the past could come back and test you. Procrastination is out and being proactive is in, as you make a big decision before someone else does it for you. Love is in the air on Sunday. Attached Librans – send a romantic text or organise a candlelit dinner. Singles – are you viewing a potential partner through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses?

This week, don’t embellish the truth or be less than 100 per cent honest at home and at work. Positive Venus/Mars aspects promise a weekend full of pleasure and passion. Sharing a sport or hobby with a loved one brings mutual benefits. For some lucky bulls, friendship finally turns into romance. For others – true love could be as close as the boy or girl next door.

Luxury-loving Leos – is your budget stretched at the moment? It’s time to tighten the purse strings and look for creative ways to boost your cash flow. There are extra dollars to be made via joint ventures with like-minded people or businesses. Be a proactive lion! Love is in the air on Sunday but don’t spoil the romantic vibes by being totally unrealistic.

Pace yourself, especially early in the week. Avoid the temptation to turn a minor matter into a grand obsession. When it comes to your hopes, dreams and wishes for the future, aim for the stars as you cooperate with someone on an exciting joint project. In the words of birthday great D. H. Lawrence: “Hitch your wagon to a star, or you will just stay where you are.”

Getting yourself further into debt is a recipe for disaster at the moment. By all means have fun but don’t break the bank. With the sun, Mercury and Venus visiting your intimacy zone, creative communication is required when it comes to a romantic relationship. Singles – be passionately proactive as you go looking for love and adventure.

Geminis can be real scatterbrains – all ideas and no action. But you have more chance of putting plans into practice from Friday onwards, as Mercury, your ruling planet, moves into practical Virgo. This is just as well because workmates, friends and family are looking for less superficiality and a lot more substance. The devil is definitely in the detail.

With the sun and Venus both in Virgo all week, you’re bold and beautiful as you embrace your inner contradictions. Softness and strength are a winning combination! Neptune muddles your mind on Friday morning, but things improve in the afternoon as Mercury moves into your sign. September 9-26 is the time to rationalise, research and review.

Professional matters look better this week, so make the most of the lucky opportunities that come along. But don’t let your enthusiasm for a project overtake your ability to knuckle down and get the job done. The moon and Jupiter boost your spirits mid-week and your business acumen. For some singles – Cupid pays a visit to your workplace.

Pisceans are perplexing at the best of times! Try to communicate clearly this week, otherwise confusion and monumental mix-ups are likely and selfdelusion is a danger on Friday. Sunday is the best day for romantic reveries and declarations of undying love, but don’t get carried away with extravagant promises, vague dreams and pie-in-the-sky schemes..

Mental health services to be improved BY LUKE GRIFFITHS MENTAL HEALTH services on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula will be improved by the upcoming introduction of the ‘Mental Health Navigation Tool’ for local doctors. Corio MP Richard Marles and Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman jointly announced last week that local GP surgeries would be boosted by the introduction of the online tool, developed by Geelong-based Barwon Medicare Local. Showcased in Parliament House in Canberra last Thursday, the tool will allow GPs to identify the severity or type of a patient’s mental health episode and then be provided with an extensive list of local mental health services that could be suitable for referrals. It will also help identify service gaps and it is intended over time that the tool will also cover diabetes services. “This is about delivering better and faster mental health referrals for local patients across our region,” Mr Cheeseman said. “The navigational tool is being rolled out to local GPs and is a great step forward for Corangamite mental health care.” Mr Marles said addressing mental health issues should always be a high priority, especially amongst an ageing population. “We’re all getting older, and the Geelong region is no exception. By 2021, more than one quarter of Geelong residents will be over 65 and around a third of Australians will experience a mental health episode. I welcome the introduction of the navigational tool and I congratulate clinicians and staff who worked with the Barwon Medicare Local to make it a reality.” For more on mental health issues speak with your local GP or contact Barwon Health’s Mental Health Service on 5226 7410.

Richard Marles (Member for Corio), Dr John Howell (Chair of GP Association of Geelong) and Jason Trethowan, CEO of GP Association of Geelong.

Sun can be cancer sentence

Stroke support

AUSTRALIA IS one of the world’s most prevalent skin cancer countries and experts say farmers and fishermen are one of the most at-risk groups in the nation. The Collaborative Partnership for Farming and Fishing Health and Safety is reminding farmers and fishermen to be sun smart as we head toward the sunnier months of the year. Two in every three Australians will develop skin cancer before the age of 70. Cancer Council Australia chief executive officer Professor Ian Olver warned more than 1830 Australians will die from the disease every year, and he has warned farmers and rural outdoor workers are particularly at risk because of the long periods of time they spend in the sun. “Working outdoors for part, or most of the day, puts you at a high risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma,� Professor Olver said. “You must cover up when the UV reaches 3 or above. This can be easily checked through the UV alert in the weather sections of newspapers, online or using our SunSmart app, available free from iTunes. “We also recommend SPF30+ as the minimum standard for sun protection. You should also protect yourself with a hat, shade, clothing and sunglasses.� Professor Olver said whenever the UV index level is 3 or above, people should use a combination of five sun-protection measures: slip, slop, slap, seek and slide. Slip on sun protective work clothing. Cover as much skin as possible. Long pants and shirts with a collar and long

ONE IN six people will have a stroke in their lifetime, and returning home after a stroke can leave people feeling fearful of being alone in the home. Carers often share this concern, worrying about their loved one when they are not around. Tunstall Healthcare offers a 24-hour response centre to support and reassurance to people who have experienced a stroke. Clients can make quick and easy contact with Tunstall’s response centre using a personal alarm, whether it’s just to hear a friendly voice or because they need a carer or medical assistance. To contact the response centre, the client simply pushes the radio trigger pendant that they keep with them at all times, enabling the client to activate an alarm call from anywhere in the home. Tunstall’s 24 hour response service provides peace of mind to people who have experienced a stroke as well as well as their loved ones and carers. To find out how you can access Tunstall’s 24 hour response centre for post stroke support visit www.tunstallhealthcare. com.au or call 1800 603 377.

sleeves are best. Slop on SPF 30+ sunscreen. It’s best to use a broad spectrum, water resistant sunscreen. Apply 20 minutes before going outdoors and re-apply every two hours. Slap on a hat. Wear a broad-brimmed hat that provides as much shade as possible to your face, neck and ears. Seek shade. Take breaks under trees or indoors whenever possible. Slide on some sunglasses. Wear close fitting, wrap-around sunglasses that meet the Australian Standard. He said all Australians should get to know their skin and check it regularly – especially anyone over the age of 40. “Check all of your skin, not just sunexposed areas. “See your doctor if you notice: a new spot, lump or unusual freckle, a mole, sunspot or sore that does not heal, a spot that looks different from other spots around it, a spot that has changed colour, size or shape over a few weeks or months, a spot that has an irregular border or becomes itchy or bleeds.� Cancer Council figures show that in Australia every year: skin cancers account for 80 per cent of all newly diagnosed cancers, GPs have more than a million patient consultations for skin cancer, more than 10,300 people are treated for melanoma, with 1279 people dying in 2007 alone melanoma is the most common cancer in people aged 15-44 years Australia has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world, at nearly four times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.

DIXON CALLS TIME BY GEOFF ROUNDS

A STALWART of the Torquay Football Club for more than two decades, Brent Dixon has decided to hang up his boots and retire. Dixon, 33, fresh from a four goal haul last weekend remains one of the Tigers’ most popular figures after a stellar career that spans more then 270 games and is hoping to finish with a grand final appearance. While he openly admits he’d like to keep playing, he says the toll on his body has forced him to retire at the end of this season with the Torquay reserves. “The head says to keep playing but the body says enough,” Dixon said. “I guess at 33, time’s up I suppose. I’ll miss it

playing in that premiership.” During the 2011 BFL season, Dixon has played just 10 games, four in the seniors and six in the reserves, mainly due to work constraints and niggling injuries. “It’s been a tough year for me to really get my body right each week and I think you just know when time’s up.” Dixon says he will still remain at the Tigers in the future and with two young sons hopes to one day see them pull on the Tigers jumper. “I’ll still be around the club and help out when I can, besides my two boys love going to the footy so I’m sure I’ll still be about the place.”

I’ve enjoyed everything about being at the Tigers and it’s been big part of my life, I’ve made a lot of great friends and enjoyed some great times with the club.” Dixon commenced his enduring football career with the Torquay in 1987 and made his senior debut in 1996, he would only have to wait until 1998 to taste premiership success when the Tigers defeated Ocean grove by 19 points. “Without doubt it would be the highlight of playing with Torquay,” Dixon said. “It was pretty wet that day and goals were hard to get but we got there in the end.

Tuesday 6 September 2011

Best in ten year history THE SURF Coast Football Club have enjoyed one of their best home and away seasons in their ten year history. Following the last home and away game, club president Joe Taylor said Surf Coast had three sides that finished on top of the ladder, and another three sides that finished second.

“The Under 18 girls, Under 13 boys and Under 12 boys all finished on top of the ladder, with the girls and Under 13 boys being the only two sides across the entire competition to go through the season undefeated,” he said. “We have a number of players vying for the golden boot and fairest and best awards.

“Nearly every Surf Coast team is competing in the finals and we eagerly await the release of these fixtures. “The semi finals are played next week and sides that finish first or second on the ladder host home finals, so we will have a number of games on at The Quay this weekend.” The Warralily Cup, for Under 11 and Under 13 boys and girls, runs until the end of October and new players are welcome to head to The Quay at 5pm on Mondays for a game.

Surfside with mixed weekend results Senior Men: Surfside 1 - 6 Corio It was a shock result for the Waves leading up to the finals and ends an extended run of victories. Nic Hargraves scored the only goal for the Waves. Senior Women: Surfside d Geelong Rangers Surfside won on a forfeit and maintain second place on the ladder. U17 Boys: Surfside 0 - 16 Corio Surfside kept the second top team scoreless for the first 30 minutes. As in other weeks Surfside’s lack of subs started to tell as players began to tire and were eventually overrun. The game ended what was a very tough season for the U17s. A lack of experience, a squad of only 12, and a very high quality competition made things very difficult for the boys. Their efforts in the face of such

overwhelming odds have won great respect for themselves and their club. U15 Boys: Surfside 6 - 1 Barwon Another commanding performance from the boys who should be very confident leading into the finals. Jacob Nicholson continued his scoring run with 2, John Black 2, Robert Black and Benjamin Zebic 1 each. The boys had an outstanding season. U13 Boys: Surfside 0 - 1 Surfcoast U12 Boys: Surfside 2 - 1 Barwon The boys finished off the league season in great style and played some good football scoring first against Barwon. Barwon put up a good fight and managed to equal the score at half time. The Surfside boys had the better of Barwon in the

second half. U15 Girls: Surfside 0 - 3 Kardinia The scoreline didn’t reflect the closeness of the game. The difference was Kardinia were able to capitalise on their scoring chances whilst the Waves didn’t. U13 Girls: Surfside 3 - 0 Barwon The girls’ outstanding season continued with a hard fought win against a determined Barwon team. The Waves led 2-0 at half time and despite many attacks during the second half only managed 1 more goal due to some terrific defending by Barwon.

WITH THE ANGLESEA BOWLING CLUB

THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club held their official “opening of the greens” for the start of the 2011/12 season last Saturday. It was very pleasing to see the large number bowling and wearing the traditional “whites”. At the opening dinner, President Keith Hornibrook thanked all those hard working members that assisted during the winter months with the alterations and improvements to the bar, kitchen, club rooms and outside maintenance. A tremendous effort. A professional caterer made good use of the updated kitchen and served a superb meal. The new season certainly started with a very successful social event. Pennant practice has now commenced. The Anglesea Bowling Club has entered four teams in the midweek pennant competition, and three teams in Saturday pennant. The coaches and selectors are confident that the players have the ability to again have a successful season. With the upgraded facilities now available, the Anglesea Bowling Club is looking forward to being the venue for the following community events: A seniors event will be held on Sunday, October 2. The Anglesea Bowling Club will host an open day for everyone – young, old, and in-between. • 10.30 am – 1 pm Mixed Pairs Championship Final - Everyone welcome to come along, watch, cheer, support and enjoy the morning • 1.30 pm – 4.30 pm Barefoot Bowls for everyone - $8.00 per person • 6.00 pm – 9.00 pm Dinner to celebrate the start of the 2011 Victorian Seniors Festival and the refurbishment of the kitchen at the Bowling Club. Two course dinner provided by YMCA and the guest speaker is Tom Hafey. Tickets for the dinner (including guest speaker) are $30 per person and are available from Ian Bruce on 0414 903 048.

LATE last month two of our esteemed present and past members of the club passed away. Betty Strachan had been presented with her 50 plus year medallion at the last Presidents and Captains dinner having been a member since 1958. Nance Zimmer was a member of the club for many years and a very handy golfer. The ladies play each year for the Nance Zimmer Silver Salver. The course has been quick to dry out and hopefully the good weather will continue. The winning scores have been high, particularly for the ladies as many are able to take advantage of the winter handicap creep. Midweek results Wednesday was a stableford competiton for the men and the conditions were perfect. Peter Hester had one of the best scores for the year scoring 48 points to win B Grade. Sandy Talbot was next best with 43 points

FROM THE PRO SHOP

SPRING has certainly arrived with a week of mild to warm temperatures, but the wind played havoc on Saturday. We welcomed many visitors this week who enjoyed the challenges the course has to offer and who are keen to return to make amends!

The Sands Golf Club

Weekend competition The men played for their September medal on Saturday on what was our warmest day for a while. Best score

and the medal went to Uwe Morzinek in B Grade with nett 70. Peter Jones won A Grade with nett 75 on a count-back from Brett Balloch, and Denis Croaker won C Grade with nett 71 on a count-back from Our Ray Shaw. In the ladies event it was Lyn Webber winning with nett 71, with Anne Mangan runner up with nett 74. NTPs were Greg Davis, Hayden Smith, Michael Troup and Nigel Forsyth. On Sunday the field was somewhat depleted as many chose to spend the day with their fathers, or as fathers themselves to be spoilt. Tess Brown had the best score for the day with 7 up winning the ladies, and Suellen Eskrigge was runner up with 5 up. For the men the winner was Allan Spence with 4 up. NTPs were won by Marg Hales, Maralyn Cross, Luke Britnell and Sue Bowler. Good golfing and enjoy the run!

WITH MICHAEL CLANCY

Midweek results THE ladies played stableford on Tuesday. Karen Grayling looked lovely in her summer skirt but was seen darting behind a bush changing into long pants after a cooler wind change. Wendy Johnson won A Grade with 41 points, Sheena Scholten won B Grade on count-back with 40 points and Norma Veale, having just returned from holidays, couldn’t do a thing wrong with 45 points to clean up C Grade.

Thursday was the first day of spring and medal day for the ladies. Div 3 winner Wendy Callahan won her first medal with nett 66, helped along by only 30 putts. Judy Talbot emulated her husband’s efforts of the day before with the second best score of the day, her nett 67 won Div 1 and she also had the best gross score with 87. Myrell McConachy won Div 2 with nett 73. NTPs were won by Myrell, Jan Buchholz, Stefi Bates and Suellen Eskrigge.

Men’s competition It was a warm day for the men on Wednesday for the stableford event and it was club captain Gary O’Brien who was in hot form. Gary had the best score of the day winning B Grade with 39 points from Dick Fowlston who had 37. Playing in the last group of the day and putting in fading light, Cameron Gill won A Grade with 38 points from Brad Liddicoat who had 36. Dean Bernasconi, our par three specialist, won NTP on the 7th while one of our new members Steve Menegazzo took the honours on the 17th. The wind blew all day on Saturday and with the greens a little quicker than usual, scoring was always going to be difficult for the stableford event. However, the mood was chirpy in the pro shop despite the wind as

Geelong fans were still riding high about their victory over Collingwood! Stephen Sutcliffe managed the tricky conditions the best, having the best score of the day and winning B Grade with 38 points from Luke Vasallo on 37. Tom Elliott from East Geelong took out A Grade with 35 from Rod Brooker on 33. Michael Yates and Peter Cribb won the NTP’s on the front nine while Gordon Muir won NTP on the 13th and Andrew Stephens the 17th. Women’s competition The women finally had something to smile about with a fine day for their monthly medal and the first day of spring. Ritva Harley made a welcome return from holiday winning the medal with a nett 70 from Gail Richards who had a 71. Sally Ludlow won NTP on the 7th while Linda Carroll was closest on the 13th. Conditions were tough on Saturday with the wind blowing a gale, but Betty Downey and Paulette Payne managed the tricky conditions well both finishing with 36 points, with Betty winning on a count-back. Linda Turner came in to the pro shop for a drink after scoring

only 11 points on her first nine. She left the shop with a drink and a pep-talk and notched up 22 points on the second nine to finish with 33. Member’s trip Darrell, our trusty pro, will be back this week after running a most successful members trip to Western Australia. The group played on some wonderful courses in the west, in addition to receiving lessons and course management skills from Darrell as they tackled courses including The Vines, Joondalup and The Cut. We look forward to hearing more about the trip and the adventures on and off the course. Pro Shop With the arrival of the warmer weather, it’s time to start thinking about shorts, shirts and the like. We have received some really great new spring and summer golf gear that will no doubt help to reduce that handicap! The range includes bright, bold, colours and designs so come in and have a look. Happy golfing and go Bombers!

Hear them roar BY LUKE GRIFFITHS TORQUAY’S UNDER 18 football team has won itself through to this year’s grand final after inflicting Drysdale’s first defeat of the season. Down by one point at half time, the Tigers kicked five goals to three in the second half to win by 12 points in a low scoring affair. After losing to the Hawks in round one by 57 points and 15 points in round 16, coach Greg Mervin was delighted to reverse the result. However he was quick to highlight that the team needed to keep focus on the grand final and not get carried away with last Saturday’s victory.

“We’ll train as usual this week, Tuesday and Thursday, and then we’ll have another session Saturday night and have dinner together as a team. We’ll all go together to watch the preliminary final between (Geelong) Amateurs and Drysdale as well,” Coach Greg Mervin said. “It’s exciting, we can’t wait for the grand final to come around, especially because the game will be at our home ground. They’re a really good bunch of kids – just an honest, hard working group.” Adam Gross kicked four goals and was one of Torquay’s best players, along with captain Jordan Graham and Oscar Briody. Drysdale’s best players were Michael Woods and Joel Daffy.

Torquay’s under 18 team celebrate after booking themselves a grand final place with a hard fought two goal victory over the previously undefeated Drysdale Hawks.

WELL IT seems another fresh water system is being re-opened to Anglers. The increased rains have helped replenish a number of reservoirs in the region some that until now could not maintain trout fish populations. For the first time in 40 years, since 1970, fish are being stocked in the Pykes Creek Reservoir near Ballan. Just 100 kilometres from Torquay, Ballan takes less than two hours to get there and is surrounded by grazing land. Executive Director Fisheries Victoria, Anthony Hurst, said the Ballan reservoir was now full and had recovered from a long period of low water levels during the drought. “Given the population growth west of Melbourne, Fisheries Victoria recognised an opportunity to develop a new recreational fishery at Pykes Creek Reservoir,” Mr Hurst said. “It is close to Melbourne, has a public boat ramp and good shoreline access for anglers and Fisheries Victoria has worked closely with Southern Rural Water, the recreational fishing body VRFish and local angling clubs on this stocking trial. “The angling clubs with the support of VRFish saw the proposal to stock Pykes Creek Reservoir tabled and endorsed at a consultative meeting with anglers and Fisheries Officers earlier this year. “During a three-year trial we will stock 5,000 brown trout annually to help in the recovery of a self sustaining trout population. The first 5000 were stocked earlier this month and the trial stocking will comprise fin-clipped trout to help researchers determine if spawning and recruitment occurs in the inflowing waters and whether a self sustaining population can be developed to ensure the longer term future of the fishery. “Pykes Creek Reservoir was last stocked with 17,500 brown trout in 1970. It also contains a range of other species and has provided excellent redfin fishing in previous years.”

Marine safety in Victoria – have your say In 2010 the Marine Safety Act was introduced, and the Department of Transport (DoT) is commencing the details of this reform, which will be contained in the Marine Safety Regulations. DoT is now seeking input to the Draft Marine Safety Regulations from both the recreational and commercial marine stakeholders until October 11. The main changes from the existing regulations are: • Registration of vessels • Vessel standards • Licenses for masters of recreational vessels • Certification of commercial vessels • Certificates of competency

Meet the team at Harvey Norman Waurn Ponds Your one-stop furniture store HARVEY Norman Furniture at Waurn Ponds is the local supplier for all your furniture needs. The dedicated team has built a reputation of offering the most comprehensive product knowledge and highest level of service throughout Geelong. As a local supplier, customers are attracted from the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong regions, including many holiday owners as well as permanent residents. Furniture franchisee Chris Goodhand has been at the Waurn Ponds store for more than seven years and has a comprehensive understanding of what local buyers want. “We basically provide a one-stop shop for all your furniture needs, from lounge and dining suites to occasional and office furniture, and even outdoor furniture,” Chris said. When you shop at Harvey Norman you have the security and buying power of dealing with Australia’s largest furniture retailer. Only the largest and most respected suppliers are selected to provide a diverse range of furniture, from lounges - including modern contemporary - to recliner suites, dining suites, occasional furniture and office furniture. The new season range of outdoor furniture has been very strongly received with a large variety on offer, including wicker, timber and aluminium suites. If you are looking for quality Australian made furniture, Harvey Norman is the only destination to consider. “We are proud supporters of the Australian Made campaign, which is reflected in our floor stock,” said Chris. All Harvey Norman leather suites are 100 per cent cow hide and fully comply with the rigorous

It’s not just a bed folks VANESSA Scarfone is used to people taking her bedding product line for granted, which is why she is so committed to educating and helping customers choose the right bed.

AFARDI Australian leather standard. You can confidently purchase your new leather lounge suite with this guarantee. Come into Harvey Norman at Waurn Ponds and be impressed by the friendly staff, comprehensive range and exceptional prices. Harvey Norman has been supporting and supplying the Surf Coast region for over seven years and can be trusted to be here for many more. “I would encourage anyone in the market for some new furniture to come in and talk to us about their needs. Our friendly team has the knowledge and skills to help you make the right choice for your lifestyle, home and budget.”

“A lot of people come in initially thinking they’re buying ‘just a bed’. They are often quite amazed to learn that beds are so much more,” explained Vanessa. “Given we each spend around one-third of our lives in bed, choosing the right bed is vitally important. “Everyone is built differently with their own individual comfort level and support requirements. This distinguishes the process of buying a bed because unless you actually lie on a bed you don’t know if you like it.” Vanessa has worked as a bedding specialist with Harvey Norman for more than eight years and recently became the Waurn Ponds store’s new bedding franchisee. Although her area appears to be quite simple, at least on the surface, the process of matching each customer’s needs and expectations

with the bed that is right for them can be quite complicated. “Bedding support systems have evolved enormously from traditional spring systems to springless ones like latex and visco-elastic memory foam, which moulds to the body. “Our Sleepnumber range is exclusive to Harvey Norman. It uses air technology to support the body as well as a personalised comfort system that allows you to raise or lower your Sleepnumber depending on the level of support you need. “This means you and your partner can each be on a completely different comfort level but still sharing the same bed.” Vanessa and her sales team are well versed in explaining the various support systems and helping customers make the right choice. Her area also stocks a vast range of manchester and bedroom furniture.

Enjoy good coffee and more at home

So much more than computers

IF the growing popularity of espresso machines is anything to go by, then Joe Marruso reckons people are sipping more lattes at home than in cafes these days – and shunning the cinema too!

ROBERT Keoylian has seen technology change dramatically in 15 years of working with Harvey Norman, the past two as director of the Waurn Ponds store’s computers franchise.

“Over the past 12 months, fully automatic coffee machines have recorded the biggest sales growth while flat panel televisions and digital DVD recorders have also maintained solid growth,” Joe claimed. “With television prices continuing to fall, home entertainment systems have become bigger, better and more affordable. Even the new 3D televisions are already well within the reach of the average consumer – and will become even more so as time goes by. “It’s also very cheap and easy to upgrade from analogue to digital TV without having to buy a brand new TV. All you need is a set top box, which currently costs less than $80.” Joe speaks from a base of 11 years experience with Harvey Norman, including seven years as electrical franchisee. In addition to TVs and other home entertainment products, Harvey Norman Electrical offers consumers a wide choice of electrical products, from small home and personal care appliances to fridges, washing machines and other white goods, and major kitchen appliances such as stoves and cook tops. “Most of these products are becoming increasingly technology-based, making it easier for the customer to use them, coffee machines being a case in point. “As part of a large Australian retail network, we can offer our customers the best products at the best prices. “At the same time however, as local franchisees we are committed to providing good old fashioned customer service, which makes us more like a corner store than a big retail chain.”

“Our amazing computers division does not only carry computers, but is rather a one-stop shop for technology offering an incredible range of digital cameras, laptops, GPS navigators, smartphones, digital SLR cameras, gaming and computer software,” explained Robert. “We also have our digital photo centre where we print your photos in outstanding quality while you wait at a great price. “We’re finding our customers also love the other photo centre services on offer, such as personalised photo books, prints on box mounted canvas and personalised photo gifts. “We can even print photos stored on most mobile phones!”

Electrical franchisee Joe Marruso has seen huge growth in home-based coffee machines.

Robert and his team are committed to working with their customers to find the right technology solution that best meets their specific needs. “It’s about getting to know our customer, finding out what they really need, and recommending the right solution to them. “Our customer focus extends to our after sales service, with our in store tech team available to resolve any problems or issues that may arise.” The recent arrival in-store of the world’s first 3D consumer video camera is proof that Harvey Norman always has the most up-to-date technology available from the get-go.
