IN THE AIR BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

THE STATE Government’s plan to grant Alcoa a 50-year extension of its current lease has emotions running high. Anglesea Community Hall was the site of a public forum on Sunday, with more than 250 in attendance. Anglesea Air Action (AAA) organised the event and called for a Government-funded, independent air quality assessment and urged Alcoa to embrace renewable energy at the Point Henry site. Alcoa’s Anglesea coal mine and power station have been operating for almost 50 years and it is feared by some within the community that pollution stemming from a further 50 years of operation will cause irreparable environmental and health damage. “AAA has written a letter to the Health Minister

advising him of our group’s concerns and has requested an independent air quality assessment. We will continue to lobby the Department of Health on behalf of the community,” Dr Jacinta Morahan said at the event. In response, Alcoa said that the local community should not be concerned about the proposed lease renewal and that all of its operations were safe and risk-free. “Alcoa’s coal mine and power station are safe for both employees and the neighbouring community,” Alcoa’s General Manager of Manufacturing (Victoria) John Osborne said. “This is a lease renewal – Alcoa is not changing how it operates. The air emissions from the power station satisfy national and Victorian EPA limits that are protective of health.

long time and generates a lot of money into the town and provides a lot of work,” Anglesea Football Club president David Cooke said. A key focus of Sunday’s forum was to lobby Alcoa to embrace modern methods of energy production. “We foresee a significant opportunity for Alcoa to show leadership in the transition to renewable energy in the region. “There’s immense community support behind the proposal that Alcoa could use this upcoming lease renewal to announce serious steps to transition to renewable energy for its Point Henry aluminium smelting facility in the near future,” AAA spokesman Mike Lawrence said. Since 2003, Alcoa has reduced global direct greenhouse gas emissions to 44 per cent below the levels that were recorded in 1990.

“Claims of a dramatic expansion of the mine are untrue. Renewing the lease does not mean that Alcoa intends to increase the rate of mining, or rapidly increase the area of land disturbed within the lease.” A major concern of AAA is that there hasn’t been an independent analysis of the air quality, with the State Government instead relying on data supplied by Alcoa. “While it seems a health study could take some time, an air quality assessment could be done immediately,” Andrew Dingle said. Some long-term Anglesea residents have highlighted the contribution Alcoa makes to the wider community, which includes a $10,000 annual sponsorship of the football club. “I think it’s a minority group that’s making a lot of noise. It’s (Alcoa) been a part of Anglesea for a

Important changes on restricted breed dogs Following recent State Government pushes for reform on laws around Restricted Breed Dogs, the onus is on owners to ensure their animals are registered with council before September 30. The changes bring further focus on pit bulls and pit bull crosses, both of which are now restricted breeds and must be registered as such with council. If you own a pit bull or pit bull cross, you must ensure it is registered with council before the end of September – otherwise you run the risk of having your dog seized under state legislation. Under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, the only restricted breed dogs permitted in Victoria after 30 September will be those that were in Victoria before 1 September 2011 and those registered as any breed before 30 September 2011. Council will also be checking to verify the breeds of new dog registrations made during September. Other restricted dog breeds in Victoria are the Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Perro de Presa Canario. For more information on the new laws governing restricted dog breeds, visit http://new.dpi.vic.gov.au/pets/dog-care/ restricted-breed-dogs

Market season is here! With spring here, the Surf Coast Market season for 2011/12 has also started with great markets across the shire. The first Moriac Makers and Growers Market at the start of September was a great success; with the next ones to be held on the first Sunday in January and May. The Anglesea Riverbank Market will start its

season on the weekend of October 15 and 16; coinciding with the Anglesea Music Festival. The Cowrie Market in Torquay will run on the third Sunday of each month from September to April. Great markets will also run in Lorne, Winchelsea and Aireys Inlet. You can find out about all these markets by grabbing a copy of the Surf Coast Market Season brochure, now available at council’s Grossmans Road office, Surf Coast Visitor Information Centres and online at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/markets.htm

Chari-tea for Japan After the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan this year, 40,000 people remain homeless. You can help and enjoy a fun afternoon by supporting Anne Normal’s Chari-Tea Soiree – an afternoon of poetry, music and a cuppa to be held on Sunday 16 October from 3pm until 5pm at the Bellbrae Hall. All money raised will go to assist those in Japan who remain displaced. Tickets are $20. Contact Jan Hale for bookings – jbhale@bigpond.net.au or 5261 9660.

Road closures for Amy’s Gran Fondo Over the weekend of 17-18 September, 3,000 cyclists will participate in Amy’s Gran Fondo – an Amy Gillett Foundation event that aims to raise awareness of safe cycling. The event will also be a qualifier for the UCI World Championships; a major coup for organisers and for our region. On Sunday 18 September, rolling road closures will affect parts of the Surf Coast Shire. The Great Ocean Road between Lorne and Skenes Creek will be closed from 7am-11am, while road closures will also occur between Skenes Creek and Forrest from 8am-12:30pm, Forest to Birregurra-Deans

Winch Hub closer to completion Recently, Council opened expressions of interest for catering services at the Eastern Reserve Community Hub, which will be opened in November. The building continues a significant program of upgrades at Eastern Reserve and will provide a new standard of community facilities in Winchelsea including a community gym, function space and meeting space for community groups. Council contributed $400,000 to the project. We thank Local Member Darren Cheeseman for helping to secure $2m in Federal Government support, while the Eastern Reserve Committee of Management contributed $100,000, with assistance from the Anglesea and Winchelsea Community Bank.

Gaz nips in BY LUKE GRIFFITHS NIPPERS AT Torquay’s Surf Lifesaving Club got advice from Gary Ablett and Jack Perry on Sunday morning. The nipper program caters for children aged six to 13 and provides an opportunity for them to gain surf safety information and skills. Ablett told the crowd that training hard and setting goals were the key factors in achieving success. “I realised pretty early that I wanted to play football and once I decided that, I did everything I could to make that happen,� Ablett said. “Obviously winning the two premierships at Geelong are a massive highlight for me, but aside from that I think playing my first game against

Essendon would be at the top of the list. It was the result of a lot of hard work.� Perry has recently been competing in World Qualifying Series events and said that growing up around so many world-class surfers gave him the motivation to succeed. “Paddling out at Juc and seeing guys like Troy Brooks in the water was just awesome. I learnt so much from those guys.� Justin Cole, who organised the event, said it was beneficial for the children to hear from two local people who had achieved success in a national and international environment. “It’s great to have Gaz and Jack down here. They’re both really good athletes and have worked really hard to get where they are today. The kids here can learn a lot from them.�

Winter back for Spring A WEEKEND of wild weather has reminded Surf Coast and Bellarine locals not to trust the early September warmth. Heavy rain, hail and strong winds lashed the coast over the weekend after what the Weather Channel confusingly classed as the third warmest winter on record, and driest in nine years. The organisation’s senior meteorologist, Tom Saunders, said the Geelong region missed the usual heavy winter rain, with only 89.2 millimeters recorded – well down on last year’s

148 millimeters, and also under the long-term winter average of 140.5 millimetres. A wet autumn and summer conspired to make the winter feel wet and cold, but a dry and warm August affected the winter figures. Mr Saunders said the weekend cold snap was due to warm northerly winds being replaced by much colder southerlies off the Southern Ocean, which combined with a cold-front on Friday to bring a new burst of cold weather from Antarctic waters, causing temperatures to drop even further on the weekend. Gary Ablett was back in Torquay over the weekend and called in to talk to Torquay’s Surf Lifesaving Club nippers.

Men’s Shed under way INSIDE BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

THIS EDITION

THE GROUND has been broken. Now all that remains is to construct the building that will house the Anglesea and District Men’s Shed. An information session that doubled as a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Anglesea Bowls Club last week, while work on the concrete slab will begin in the next few days. The 250 square-metre ‘shed’ has been in planning since 2008 and grants from the State Government, Surf Coast Shire, Bendigo Bank, Anglesea Bowls Club and Alcoa have now enabled construction work to begin. “After a long period of planning and preparation, it was agreed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, the Surf Coast Shire and the Anglesea Bowls Club that we could build at the back of the existing Bowls Club,� shed secretary Simon Clark said. “Our shed will include a meeting room, tools room and kitchen, as well as a machinery shed for the Bowls Club. There will also be three-metre wide veranda facing onto the bowling green. “We currently have 30 paid up members and are already involved with quite a few projects within the community.� It is expected that the building will be up and running by early November. “We’ve been told that once the concrete has been poured everything will happen pretty fast. I believe it will only take about four-weeks to build,� Mr Clark said. A quarter of the building will be under the control of the Anglesea Bowls Club, which will use the space for the aforementioned machinery shed, and storage room. “It’s really good to have the men’s shed here,�

Anglesea Bowls Club spokesperson Keith Hornibrook said. “They’ve been welcomed by everyone and it’s going to be a little more exciting with extra people around. “Most importantly, it’s good for the community and that’s the aim of the new building – to increase community involvement.� The men’s shed concept has become increasingly popular in recent years and the region is already home to a number of similar type sheds. Geelong Community Men’s Shed recently received a $3,000 grant from the Federal Government for new tools and equipment. “Men’s sheds have long been recognised as meeting places where men find social support and camaraderie,� Federal MP for Corio Richard Marles said. “We know that men often form friendships as they work together, doing things that are traditionally done in sheds, such as building furniture, fixing machinery and working on small projects to help other local community groups.�

Book Swap BY SAM SUENDERMANN STUDENTS AT Torquay P9 College recently participated in the Great Book Swap Challenge held in conjunction with the Indigenous Literacy Day on Wednesday 7th September. Students in years 5-9 raised valuable funds for a literacy program for indigenous children living in remote communities. Each student was asked to bring a pre-loved book to school, swap it with a classmate and donate a gold coin to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. “Torquay College students realise how important it is to read and how lucky they are to have a wonderful library and access to a wide variety of books,� Torquay College librarian Kathy McLennan said. The Challenge aims to raise $100,000 or more which will be used to send culturally appropriate books and resources into 200 remote communities around Australia. The founder of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Suzy Wilson, said the ability to read is a gift many take for granted. “Imagine not being able to read a street sign, a food label, or a newspaper. It seems unimaginable but sadly, for many people living in very remote communities this is a reality,� Ms Wilson said. “The Indigenous Literacy Foundation was established to help these children and thanks to the support of Torquay P9 College, we will be able to supply much needed resources,� she said. Torquay P9 College is one of more than 250 schools across Australia taking part in the Great Book Swap and has helped the Indigenous Literacy Foundation send over 70,000 books to indigenous children.

Deakin and Quiksilver riding the wave BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

Quiksilver marketing manager Troy Brooks says the company is excited about the possibilities of having Deakin University as its research partner.

QUIKSILVER AND Deakin University have joined forces in a five-year $350,000 partnership that will research, design and develop state-of-the-art surfing apparel. Quiksilver will initially provide the project funds, however, it is hoped that additional money will be raised through state and federal grants, including the Small Technologies Industry Uptake Program. Quiksilver approached the university after hearing of numerous sports and textile projects that Deakin was already undertaking. Deakin’s Institute for Technology Research and Innovation has vast experience in the development of textile, polymer and composite technologies and as the partnership with Quiksilver develops it is hoped that the university’s expertise in areas such as human movement and manufacturing optimisation will also be of benefit. It is expected that the newly formed relationship will provide wide-ranging benefits to the local community. “Having two world-class organisations working together to push the boundaries of science, materials and surfing in a regional environment like Geelong and Torquay is fantastic,� Deakin research academic Dr Paul Collins said. “The benefits will be great as it will show that a lot of quality work can

happen in our regional area of Australia. “Working with Quiksilver is also a real platform for Deakin to showcase its technology. “We are now working with the world’s largest surfing brand, which shows that Deakin is regarded highly in the area of materials engineering.� Encouraged by the success of its Xplosive boardshort range, Quiksilver was eager to invest more money into research and development, with Deakin the natural choice as a partner given its existing expertise and geographical proximity to the surfing giant. “It’s a big investment but we’re committed to spending money to explore what’s possible, or more accurately, what’s not yet possible,�

Quiksilver marketing manager Troy Brooks said. Mr Brooks, who surfed professionally for 10 years, said the biggest benefit to the Surf Coast would be enhancing the region as Australia’s surfing mecca. “We want to bring technology to the surf industry that has never been done before and with this investment in research we feel we will further establish Torquay as Australia’s surfing capital.�

Surf’s up for grommets QUIKSILVER AND Vegemite have joined forces to launch a junior surfing development program for children aged five to 12. The SurfGroms program is the first of its kind and is available exclusively through licensed Surfing Australia Surf Schools. It’s aimed at encouraging children around the country to participate in surfing. Every child who completes the SurfGrom program receives a logbook, a certificate, a membership

card and a graded wristband that reflects their level of achievement. On top of that every participant receives a free Quiksilver backpack that contains a t-shirt, rash vest, towel and hat. In conjunction with surfing lessons, participants are taught fundamental ocean awareness and beach safety skills, including rescue techniques and basic first aid.

Holding Bellbrae PS spreading its wings court BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

BY LUKE GRIFFITHS TORQUAY COLLEGE unveiled its new multi-purpose sporting facility on Friday in a ceremony that showcased its talented students. The key aspect of the latest development is the addition of an indoor basketball court, the second for the school. The court will also host large gatherings such as assemblies and other major school events. Also included in the development is a storage facility, first aid area, morning tea room and a space dedicated for specialised sporting equipment such as rowing machines. “It’s great to have another basketball court,” Torquay College principal Pam Kinsman said. “But the new facility won’t only be used for basketball, it will be used for a wide variety of activities that will benefit the entire school,” Construction on the building began in June 2010 after the college received a $3.2 million grant from the Federal Government under the ‘Building the Education Revolution’ scheme. “It has been fantastic to see the principal, school staff, parents and tradespeople working together to deliver such an important project. Now that is it completed, teachers and students will be teaching and learning in facilities that they so richly deserve,” Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman said. Pupils sang and played keyboard at the opening, the highlight being a rendition of Adele’s Someone Like You sung by Aly Brown.

BELLBRAE PRIMARY School held an official opening ceremony for its new school wing last week. The building is home to four new classrooms, two staffrooms, a before and after school care area, a commercial kitchen that will be used for related classes, as well as an open-plan learning space and learning hub. Principal Adrian Waters said the new facilities will provide the school with much needed extra resources, especially considering the school is expecting a 10 per cent increase in attendees next year. “Building began in February last year and now 18 months later it’s great to have the official opening in what is our school’s 150th anniversary year. “We’ll be able to have our school assemblies here and the open-plan learning space means that students are able to do project and group work in a nice new, large space.” Local federal MP Darren Cheeseman said he was excited that the Government’s ‘Education Revolution’ policy was showing such tangible results in the region. “It’s tremendous to be here to celebrate the opening and to witness first-hand the impact this has had on Bellbrae Primary School and the local community,” he said. “I am also delighted that this particular project has supported the employment of a number of workers.” The Federal Government contributed $2.1 million for the project through its National School Pride program, with the school raising an additional $40,000 through events such as its annual Mayfair, which is by far the biggest fundraising occasion on the school’s calendar.

Left: The new school wing at Bellbrae Primary School.

“There are stalls, entertainment, live music, raffles, all types of food, animals, Harley rides, and displays,” Mr Waters said. “As we generate a reasonable amount of funds from this event, we don’t have to trouble parents and the greater community with constant requests for fundraising during the year.”

Moonah solution on hold BY LUKE GRIFFITHS CONCERNS HAVE again been raised about the future of Moonah trees in the Point Roadknight area. Surf Coast councillor Jim Tutt has been lobbying the State Government’s Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith about placing a large rock wall in strategic positions in an attempt preserve the iconic coastal tree. Cr Tutt believes a rock revetment will help minimise the effect of erosion and maximise the chance of Moonah trees being saved. According to the Corangamite Coast website, Moonah Woodlands once covered approximately

13,000 hectares of coastal Victoria, but at present there is only 980 hectares remaining. Cr Tutt believes that if something is not immediately done to help preserve the Moonah trees they will soon be on the verge of extinction. However, without an in-depth study the Victorian Government is unwilling to support Cr Tutt’s suggestion for a rock retaining wall. “The introduction of a rock revetment will transfer erosion to another point along the Anglesea cliffs and potentially exacerbate erosion issues,” Mr Smith MP said. GORCC has received funding from the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) to carry out a wider geotechnical coastal

processes assessment across a number of sites. This will begin in the coming months. “A risk analysis was carried out on the site and in the short-term the only practical solution is to manage risk to visitors,” GORCC CEO Richard Davies said. “GORCC is already doing this by monitoring the site and using signage and fencing to manage any risk to the public. “More investigation is required into the coastal processes at the Point Roadknight site and any longer term solutions will involve an understanding of how the site will evolve in the face of this ongoing natural coastal erosion process and any development of plans to counter that will need to be guided by DSE’s policies.” The bureaucracy involved in implementing a solution is one of Cr Tutt’s key concerns. “My frustration stems from the seeming lack of willingness to accept that there is a problem,” he said. “Even if they come up with places that need work there’s then the ‘argy bargy’ about responsibilities between agencies. “Various parts of the coastline are managed by GORCC, DSE and Parks Victoria. Is there any liaison regarding a long-term, coordinated approach to managing our coastal assets? I suspect not. “The key stakeholders – local residents, fishermen, Anglesea Coast Action – should be engaged and consulted. Up to now this has not happened.” GORCC acknowledged that the preservation of coastal Moonah trees is a sensitive issue and that they were doing as much as possible to limit natural coastal processes. “We work hard to protect and enhance Moonah plant communities through the work of our dedicated conservation team,” Mr Davies said.

Pipe fix begins BARWON WATER began work on a temporary sewer pipe across the Anglesea River early last week. The above-ground pipe is the first stage in replacing the damaged sewer main, which was shut down on August 8. General Manager Water Systems Carl Bicknell said the temporary pipeline would be constructed 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. “The pipe will allow the transfer of recycled water from Aireys Inlet and domestic sewage from west Anglesea to continue while the new sewer main is bored beneath the river bed,” Mr Bicknell said. Fenced-off construction areas have been established and some walking paths through Coogoorah Park will be closed for public safety. “While there will be some inconvenience, we ask residents to be patient,” Mr Bicknell said, adding that Barwon Water aimed to complete the replacement main before Christmas. The project is being undertaken by the Barwon Water Alliance. Updates will be provided on Barwon Water’s website: www.barwonwater.vic.gov.au

Telstra Foundation makes the difference for Geelong and Surf Coast junior clubs BY DUANE DALTON Five Geelong and Surf Coast organisations have all received a $1,200 Telstra’s Kids Fund grant, which will help to develop and enhance the talents, skills and enjoyment of their students and club members. Successful recipients of the grant include Hamlyn Banks Primary School, St Patrick’s Primary School, Rix Street Kindergarten, Corio Bay Stingrays Basketball Club and Leopold Netball Club. Leopold Netball Club will be using the funds to provide their juniors with brand new netball uniforms. Director of Leopold Netball Club, Daryl Allwright, said “Our girls are really excited about getting their new netball uniforms! The grant also frees up funding that we can use to improve the facilities of our club and purchase new equipment to develop our junior players.” Telstra Foundation programs such as Telstra’s Kids Fund aim to support the best assets our communities have – our children and their future. We hope that through these grants they will form a genuine and positive connection with the Geelong and Surf Coast community.

We also, hope that Telstra’s Kids Fund grants can help add to the energy and vitality of grass roots organisations such as the Leopold Netball Club and in doing so we can assist in getting the most out of their junior players and help them realise their potential. Over a number of years schools, sporting clubs, hospitals

and childcare centres are some of the organisations that have benefited from Telstra’s Kids Fund, with funds going towards anything from musical equipment to building upgrades and sporting equipment.

Seniors explore new world of communication Geelong and Surf Coast seniors had the opportunity to explore a whole new world of communication as part of the recent Telstra Connected Seniors sessions in July. Hosted by ‘The Gadget Guy’, Peter Blasina, the workshops taught seniors everything from how to surf the ‘net, send text messages to family and friends

to take photos with their mobile phones. The workshops have been designed to cater to all levels of experience to make sure all seniors can get the most out of the technology available to them. Students from St Joseph’s College and Sacred Heart College volunteered their time to show the seniors how to store

important contact details for emergencies, send emails, access the Internet and also answered questions seniors had about their specific mobile phones. It’s never too late to learn about technology, so for more information about the Telstra Connected Seniors Workshops and the next round of applications, visit www.telstraseniors.com.au

Women in business THE FIRST business networking group exclusive to Surf Coast women will officially launch on Wednesday September 14. Founding member and director Brooke Lunny says the group will be a breath of fresh air for the Surf Coast’s smallest and savviest business owners. “Being a woman in business can be an exciting, isolating, stressful and bold experience all in one,” she said. “Networking and building a support network allows you to learn from others, share your experiences, successes and challenges and create opportunities for yourself and your business.” Ms Lunny grew up in the Surf Coast region, and, after completing a degree, spent 4 years working on the Gold Coast gaining valuable experience that she always had wanted to bring back to the Surf Coast. “During my time on the Gold Coast, I was part of a similar networking organisation and I found it to be an enriching experience,” she said. “It was my opportunity to connect, to share, to learn and to develop both professionally and personally. “Now having started my own business, I feel that a similar group would be beneficial to the many women business owners here on the Surf Coast”. The launch event of Women In Business Surf Coast will be held at the Anglesea Memorial Hall, McMillan Street, Anglesea on Wednesday September 14 with light refreshments provided from 7:00pm. An introductory cost of $15 per person includes a resource pack and refreshments. Bookings are essential, so please contact Brooke on 0458 355 665 or email info@ womeninbusinesssc.com.au – or for further information, visit www.womeninbusinesssc.com. au

Surf Coast Highway fatality BY LUKE GRIFFITHS

Local Women in Business founder Brooke Lunny says her business group will be a breath of fresh air for the Surf Coast.

A MAN was killed early Friday morning in a twocar collision, after he failed to give way at the intersection on the corner of South Beach Road and the Surf Coast Highway in Torquay. The 59 year-old man was immediately rushed to Geelong Hospital but died about three hours after the accident. A man in the second car was also taken to hospital and is in a stable, non-life threatening condition. “The accident occurred at approximately 6am in poor weather conditions, and is yet another reminder for motorists to slow down and take care at all times,” Senior Constable Hayley Smith said. “We believe there were witnesses who were either driving past at the time of the accident or just after and we urge these people to contact Geelong Police.” Despite the accident, statistics released by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) show that a record low toll could be achieved for the fourth consecutive year. Fatalities on Victorian roads during August were the lowest ever recorded – 16 people were killed in 15 crashes, including four drivers, two passengers and 10 pedestrians. “We have said before and we’ll say again, road safety is not a part-time job,” TAC Acting CEO Tracey Slatter said. “It requires the full attention of every road user, all the time. Ultimately, the entire community carries the burden of road trauma and it is up to individuals to reduce their risks. “Last year 53 people were killed during September and October. We urge every road user to make this month the safest month on our roads, so we can work towards a record low in 2011.” The Victorian road toll stood at 201 at the end of August, one more than the same time last year.

Breakfast for a cure BY HAMISH BROOKS LAST year Surf Coast Shire residents set a high mark for fundraising and are being implored to exceed it this year. In 2010, shire residents raised in excess of $13,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation by hosting Pink Ribbon Breakfast events, and they are being encouraged to join the cause again to raise more money this year and make to the goal of zero deaths by 2030 a reality. Front Beach Café manager Sally Tranter organised an epic breakfast last year which raised

$5,650 and she plans to do it all again this year. “It’s going to be pretty much the same set up as last year,” she said. “It’s on October 25, $25 for a cooked breakfast, a fruit platter and it includes tea, coffee and juice, with 100 per cent of the proceeds donated. “We’ll run a raffle for prizes donated by local businesses and have a silent auction for a surf board donated by Cory Graham Shapes. “All the staff – three chefs and six front of house – donate their time and Steve and Paula Christou donate the venue.” Ms Tranter has been running Pink Ribbon

Breakfasts for the passed five years and says it’s something she enjoys doing and likes being able to do. “The other thing is that staff donate their tips for the month of October and when people see the jar on the counter they tend throw in a bit more.” People can book their place by calling Front Beach Café on 5261 9752. A fundraising initiative of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Pink Ribbon Breakfasts raised over $2 million in 2010, with the aim being to exceed this amount this year.

The crew at Front Beach dressed up for a cure at the Pink Ribbon Breakfast they hosted last year, and they are looking to do it again this October.

news 11 Tourism talking up backpackers TOURISM WEEK was celebrated across Victoria last week and marked a good time to acknowledge the value of visitors – especially backpackers – to the local tourism industry. The week coincided with the release of figures by the Australian Bureau of Statistics that showed a 3 per cent increase in inbound tourists for the year ending in June. Victoria Tourism Industry Council deputy chairman Wayne Kayler-Thomson said backpackers make up 17 per cent of all international visitors to Victoria, and are significant contributors to the state’s economy. “Backpackers help stimulate economic activity by shopping, frequenting pubs and restaurants and visiting the state’s attractions,” said Mr Kayler-Thomson. Torquay Commerce and Tourism President Mr. Martin Duke said a lot of backpackers visit the Surf Coast, especially those in Wicked Campers. “We love welcoming backpackers to the area, they might not spend a lot of money, but they enjoy their time here and often come back again and again,” said Mr Duke. According to Mr Duke, the region is considered the tourism capital of Victoria, if not the world. “Our region is home to the famous Great Ocean Road, the Otways, beautiful rainforests, the best beaches and the major surf industry icons, what more could you want?” said Mr. Duke. With local tourism a little slow lately, Mr Duke said people have still been visiting and he is anticipating a great summer season. The tourism industry marked the importance of the backpacker sector by holding a tourism industry ‘Amazing Race’ which took participants around the sites and attractions of Melbourne, starting at Flinders Street. Victoria Tourism Week is a joint initiative between Victoria Tourism Industry Council and Destination Melbourne, which featured events throughout the state for tourism operators, industry employees and the public, including forums, workshops, information exchanges and open days at Visitor Information Centres.

Road paved with words ROAD TO Reading is an exciting new program that introduces pre-school children to the early stages of reading through signs and sounds. Director Kate Keogh teaches small groups during the school term on Mondays in Torquay and Tuesdays in Herne Hill for children aged between 2-3, 3-4 and 4-6 years old, and plans for a holiday program over summer. Kate started the program in Term Two to provide parents with a new local early-learning option, valuable to young children’s development prior to

going to school. “Road to Reading is about preparing children for school and giving them the best chance to achieve their potential,” she said. The program helps children and parents get started with early learning, and introduces them through ‘Cued Articulation’, connecting letters and sounds with logical hand gestures. “We introduce children to initial concepts like print, books and stories, and then consolidate their learning through stories, songs, rhyme, games, and

craft, that they can also take home. “The visual cues can be picked up quickly and easily remembered. We keep it fun, exciting and engaging, teaching lots of little things and keeping it moving.” With a passion for nurturing children’s literacy skills, Kate loves to see the children’s pride when first picking up a new concept. “The kids are developing great skills, especially those who continue on, but it really is a team effort. We all get excited when the penny drops, and then

the children can go home and continue learning.” The program has been very successful with parents impressed at the steps children are taking, and happy with their development. With the program set to expand as demand grows, Mrs Keogh also hopes to run a holiday program over summer, to help prepare children for their first day at school. For more information on Road to Reading, contact Kate Keogh on 0402 284 224, or visit www. roadtoreading.com.au

THE SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula could benefit from a grant program with Premier and Minister of the Arts Ted Baillieu inviting Victorian community groups to apply for a share of $350,000 in funding. “Grants of up to $12,000 are available for projects that preserve and increase access to Victoria’s rich and wonderful history as part of the Government’s Local History Grants Program,” Mr Baillieu said. “This program supports projects that help communities connect with their history in innovative and engaging ways, including written histories, the preservation of precious collections and the sharing of stories through exhibitions and multimedia, to help Victorians understand our past and enrich our future.”

The program is open to not-for-profit community groups across the state and is run by Victoria’s Public Record Office. Previously funded local history projects include newspaper microfilming and digitising, multimedia projects and online exhibitions, historical murals and interpretive signage, among others. “These grants support the networks of volunteers and community organisations that are custodians of our heritage, making it available to future generations and sharing it with Victorians,” Mr Baillieu said. Applications opened on Monday 5 September and close on Friday 11 November 2011. An information session will be held at the Victorian Archives Centre, 99 Shiel St North Melbourne at 10am on 14 September 2011. See www.prov.vic.gov.au/community-programs/ grants-awards for details.

News in brief Jan Juc kite boarding accident LOCAL AMBULANCE and SES services were called to Point Impossible Road around midday on Friday to attend to a 35-year-old woman who was injured while kite surfing. The woman was taken to Geelong Hospital with pelvic and back injuries. “It was quite a delicate operation with emergency services having to wade through Thompson Creek to get to the lady,” Victorian Ambulance media spokesperson John Mullen said. “She was suffering from pelvic and back injuries but left the scene in a stable condition.”

Football armbands cause uproar THE PRESIDENT of Winchelsea Football Club, Anthony Coxon, has condemned members of the club’s under 18 team who recently wore red armbands in support of three former teammates who were jailed for armed robbery the day before the match. Club officials were reportedly unaware of the ‘tribute’ in the lead up to the match and said that if they had known of the planned action it would never have gone ahead.

Walk to school day CHILDREN ACROSS the region are being asked to walk to school on October 19 for Walk to School Day. Funded by VicHealth, the day encourages students to improve their fitness in an attempt to reduce current figures that show a quarter of all children aged five to 17 are either overweight or obese. “We need to challenge our ingrained habits to ensure walking to school becomes a regular, everyday activity to improve kids’ health, help the environment, broaden social networks and build self-confidence,” Victoria Walks Executive Officer Dr Ben Rossiter said.

Coasting at school A NUMBER of Japanese students had an experience they won’t forget when they headed down the Great Ocean Road last Friday. As part of the Gordon Institute’s Experience Australia: Five Senses Cultural Exchange, 13 students from Ikenobo Junior College in Japan are participating in an intensive two-week study tour with a difference. The Great Ocean Road day trip allowed the Japanese students to work alongside local Gordon students as part of their studies by participating in a unique ‘outdoor classroom’, coordinated by tourism student, Kaitlin.

The students stopped at Anglesea Golf Club to see kangaroos before a brief stop in Lorne and lunch at Apollo Bay, and stops at the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge before returning via Colac. The exchange students receive hands-on training in a range of areas at The Gordon, including Australian floristry, aromatherapy techniques and hospitality studies. This training is supported and extended with an intensive business and retail English Language program. Andrew Palmer, skills centre manager for language and further education at The Gordon, hopes this is the first of many programs

which will build on the The Gordon’s strong relationship with Ikenobo and other colleges in Japan’s Kyoto region. “Our partners in Kyoto are a consortium of world-class training and education providers, and we are excited to be increasing our cultural and academic exchange to create current and future opportunities for all our students,” he said. Other highlights of the study tour will include a floristry demonstration by both Japanese and Gordon students, and a Japanese tea ceremony demonstration. The students will return to Japan on 16 September.

Japanese exchange students enjoy a stop at Anglesea Golf Club, where they can get up close with the resident kangaroos.

Hauling the weekly paper into the back of his mum’s car is all in a day’s work for Brodie Tweeddale.

DELIVERING THE NEWS The Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times will be running a weekly profile on the unheralded people who bring this paper to you. In the first profile we ask Brodie Tweeddale some hard-hitting questions. Name: Brodie Tweeddale Age: 13 Location: Torquay How long have you been delivering the paper for? For about three months with my friend Sam Coles. What area do you deliver the paper to? I used to deliver papers around Ocean Views but now I deliver in Wombah Park. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you while you have been delivering the paper? I was delivering the papers with Sam and we were crossing a block of land and out of nowhere two plovers started swooping us so we ran away but they kept following us. How do you spend the money you earn delivering the paper? I usually try to save the money I earn from the papers but just recently I board a new skateboard. When you’re not delivering the paper, what do you do in your spare time? Usually playing sport or down at the beach. If you owned a newspaper you would... put more articles about sport in the paper as well as some small competitions.

Sufficiently accurate truth Dear Editor, Reading Alan Barron’s letter (Bellarine Times, 6 September), one gains the impression that the UK’s 2007 High Court ruling on Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth refuted the whole basis of human-induced global warming. Nice try, Alan. The actual High Court judgment ruled that the film was ‘broadly accurate’ but identified four events where there was insufficient evidence to prove a direct link to climate change. These were: coral bleaching, snow loss on Mt Kilimanjaro, drying up of Lake Chad, Hurricane Katrina. In addition, Mr Justice Barton ruled that three claims were not supported by the current scientific evidence. These were that polar bears were drowning, that Pacific islands were being evacuated because of inundation, that a sea level rise of 6 metres was imminent due to the melting of Greenland / Antarctic ice caps. In addition, the judge took issue with the claim that a CO2 and a temperature graph were ‘an exact fit’. He noted however that scientists agreed there was a connection. He adduced from the IPCC report that it was ‘very unlikely’ that the North Atlantic Conveyor would be shut down. In his letter, Alan insinuates that the first three well-documented events (coral bleaching, snow loss on Mt Kilimanjaro, drying of Lake Chad) have not happened, and falsely claims that the judge refuted that ‘CO2 was the principal driver of climate change’. The film was judged sufficiently accurate to be shown in UK schools. People are being given the correct information on climate change, but not by Alan Barron, alas.

contact activities such as boating and fishing. Under normal circumstances this could have been devastating to our river. Barwon Water is quoted as saying warning signs were erected around the site, river users and people nearby were spoken to by Barwon Water personnel. Barwon Water placed only four signs at the site of the spill, but did not place signs in the township or around the mouth of the river, which is a popular spot for dog-walking, canoeing, paddle boating and some recreational fishing. There was no effort to inform the community, it was only after the media reported on it that the community became truly aware. Barwon Water did not issue any public warnings to the community through the media at the time. Finally, the EPA failed to independently test the water in the river until a week later, after the media releases, when bright yellow and dark brown sludge could be seen floating on the surface of the water. Don’t we the public have the right to be fully informed? All river users should have been told of the immediate risk as well as the community. We deserve better not only from our utility providers but our Government departments as well. So I’m sorry Mr Bicknell, but in my opinion and many others you didn’t do the right thing at the time. However, I am pleased to acknowledge that at least now you are trying to be more proactive. Your community and stakeholder engagement team are well and truly out and about actively advising us of the planned repairs and how they are too occur. I’m also pleased that the EPA is taking this seriously and that they will now be monitoring how those repairs proceed. That is all we have ever asked for Mr Bicknell, proper, open communication and accountability from those in charge. I don’t think that is unreasonable. Do you? Garry Kerr Anglesea

River of discontent

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, In response to Mr Bicknell I wish to put into context the events as they happened. Fact: on the 8th of August, Barwon Water identified a leak in the sewerage pipe located in a residential area half a kilometre upstream from where the Great Ocean Road crosses the Anglesea River. EPA confirms that according to Barwon Water the sewerage leak in the Anglesea River spewed a estimated 60,000 litres of human waste and almost 400,000 litres of recycled water into the troubled waterway. Mr Bicknell admits Barwon Water measured elevated levels of E.coli bacteria in the water at the site, according to their own readings at levels of 2,900 organisms per 100 millilitres. This had the potential to raise levels of the potentially deadly E.coli bacteria to almost three times that of acceptable risk levels. Australian and New Zealand guidelines for fresh and marine water quality specify quite clearly 1,000 organisms per 100 millilitres as the acceptable level of E.coli bacteria in waters used for secondary

No amount of sand in sand bags will solve the crushing effects of climate change on the Great Ocean Road. On both sides of Apollo Bay, the southernmost town on the mainland of Australia, this vital tourist road is being eaten away as the sea rises. It isn’t a gradual thing, it is very exciting, sudden falling aways by so-called king tides, storms or what-have-yous. Big gaps appear in the path along the sand dunes and encroach metres into the edge of the road, greeting you each morning at different places when you go for an innocent ramble with your doggie. Like Don Quixote we have strange dinosaur-like lumbering bulldozers and front-end loaders on the delicate beach scraping up huge sand castles ready for the sandbagging process. People living a couple of kilometres to the west in the township of Marengo fear they will have to drive back into the hills through the Otways rainforest to reach other towns or find a way back to civilisation – pretty serious, no shops for about 45 minutes or so. The solution is glaringly obvious but nobody wants to admit it. The road will have to move! The sea needs more room to play with. Of course the flatter the delta the more it travels horizontally

until it meets higher ground. How nasty, no more “free� public land of the foreshore to be plundered for whatever infrastructure we need – roads, paths, sailing clubs, toilets, golf courses and pony clubs. Even the sewerage pipe recently embedded in the sand dunes to relieve Skene’s Creek of its effluent on the Melbourne side of Apollo Bay is in danger of exposure in all its glory. Please get on with acquiring private land and spending our rates and taxes on providing the appropriate infrastructure. Not sand-bags. We already have thousands of new 10-tonne connies piled up to secure the seaward arm of the fishing harbour wall and who wants a town perched on a grimy fake wall lapped by the sea? Inconveniently, the biodiversity of the rivers, streams, estuaries and wetlands along the coast deserves consideration too. Yvonne Lo-An Francis Apollo Bay

Apollo Bay not London Dear Editor, London this is not, but a gang of youths yelling and shuffling past gave me a start when I took out the rubbish tonight. That will teach me to defend the riots in England. Montrose Avenue is one posh street. It starts a block away from thriving shops, restaurants and pubs on the Great Ocean Road but it lacks effective street lighting and there are no footpaths. We walk on the road to avoid wet grass and muddy holes. I thought I saw a spacecraft weaving up and down eerily in the sky last week, but that was a ditigal camera perched on a 60-foot white extension pole taking real estate photos. The electro-magnetic interference from Telstra’s huge tower next door would be interesting. Apart from speed traps along the coast we don’t seem to have very sensitive government planning in Apollo Bay. Yvonne Francis Apollo Bay

Thanks to the shire Dear Editor, I would just like to say a sincere thank you to the staff at Surf Coast Shire who helped me organise and deliver the first Moriac Makers & Growers Market. In particular I want to thank Jim Lawson for being so helpful and going above and beyond what was expected in his efforts to ensure the event was successful. I know that local government has a reputation for being a bit slow and overly bureaucratic, but my experience with the Surf Coast Shire was the total opposite. All the employees I spoke with were only too happy to help. I know that this market would not have been the big success that it was without their support and enthusiasm. I look forward to working with them on planning the next one (January 8, 2012). A very pleasant surprise, so thank you! Jasmin Findlay Moriac

Lorne Performing Arts Festival

Tuesday 13 September 2011

THE INAUGURAL Lorne Festival of Performing Arts was held on the weekend and featured a variety of acts. HOMETOWN favourite and fishmonger poet Christos Raskatos read his poetry from his shop down by the pier to festival goers whose love of poetry overcame the inclement weather. He served oysters with his words and performed next to a filleted snapper carcass. VCAL students got into the swing of the 1950s and 1960s themed festival by taking guests back in time at the Lorne theatre. A series of burlesque shows spiced up the weekend, as did live music from local favourites The Beachniks and Mikelangelo and the Tin Star.

Train like a man to look like a woman

VCAL students decorated the Lorne Theatre as part of the 1950s and 60s themed festival.

There is a certain social stigma associated with women and strength training. Most women believe that strength training is unfeminine; it will make them “big” and is only for men. Common trends in the way females train involve tireless hours on the treadmill trying to burn away as many calories as possible. Usually the weights area is timidly avoided and if any weights are attempted it generally involves very light loads in the attempt to avoid “getting big” and in hope of achieving optimal “tone”. The concern is that these common misconceptions are keeping too many women away from strength training and is preventing them from training in optimal ways. The truth is, women should strength train in the same way as men, using the same program design, exercise intensities and volumes, relative to their body size and level of strength so they can achieve the maximum benefits and body changing results.

COMMON MYTHS

MYTH 1: Strength training causes women to become “bigger” In truth, strength training actually helps to reduce body fat. Since muscle weighs more than fat this may result in a slight increase in overall weight, however limb girth measurements usually decrease, which means you have achieved body tone. Increasing lean muscle will increase your overall metabolic rate, meaning you will burn more calories.

MYTH 2: Women should use different training methods than men Christos Raskatos reads his poetry to festival goers braving the weather.

Mikelangelo and the Tin Star in action.

A common misconception is that if women do similar exercises to men (for example free weights, explosive exercises and body weight exercises) they will get injured. The fact is, if proper technique and instruction are used, injury risk for both men and women is significantly reduced. Fuller body movements that involve the use of several muscle groups (Chin-up or a step-up), are superior to single-joint movements (leg curl or bicep curl), as they result in a higher energy expenditure, which ultimately means your body is burning more calories.

MYTH 3: Women should avoid lifting heavy loads Women commonly lift loads that are lighter than necessary to illicit significant physiological changes. In order for women to achieve the benefits from strength training (increased bone strength, increased joint stability, increased functional strength, increased lean body mass, higher metabolic rate and improved self-esteem) the load needs to be high enough so that the last few repetitions are difficult to perform.

Creatures of the night BY ALISON DEANE

INDIVIDUALS, SCHOOLS and organisations across Australia are being invited to participate in a nationwide night-time spotlight survey of animals in an effort to help save our threatened native species. The 13th annual Tiwest Night Stalk, coordinated by the Perth Zoo, is underway. It provides data and raises community awareness of Australia’s unique yet vulnerable native animals and runs until October 16th. Perth Zoo Chief Executive Susan Hunt said it was important to involve everyday people and organisations in community projects to help save our fauna, and increase awareness of extinction rates and severe decline of species in Australia. “The night stalk helps with our understanding of Australia’s native species, their habitats and the major threats they face. “It is a fun and easy way for people to connect with nature and inspire them to take an interest in what can be found in their backyard and local area,” said Ms Hunt. Tiwest Night Stalk coordinator Suzi Greenway said it was a very important community conservation program, and free and easy to participate. “People can undertake the spotlight survey in their local area and record any animals they see including frogs, birds, reptiles, mammals and feral pests like foxes, cats and rabbits. “The survey can be undertaken on any night or over a number of nights up until October 16th, and results can be submitted online or by post to Perth Zoo,” said Ms Greenway. Ms Greenway reminded people to keep safety in mind and encouraged participants to head out with someone.

“Individuals can go out with a friend, family, or organise a group, barbeque or expert speaker, you can put your own tilt on it,” said Ms Greenway. Data collected during the Tiwest Night Stalk is collated and analysed at the Perth Zoo,

with results available on the website and data made available to wildlife and conservation agencies and atlases. To download the spotters log, or for more information, just go to www.perthzoo. wa.gov.au/nightstalk

What’s that in the tree? These youngsters are getting into the spirit of night-stalking animals with torches.

Funding for local Landcare groups announced BY ALISON DEANE THE FEDERAL Government has announced $450,000 in funding for three significant local Landcare group projects under the Caring for Country Program, which will assist with natural resource management and sustainable agriculture. Bellarine Landcare, Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network and Upper Barwon Landcare Network will split the funding to continue fox control, improve soil quality and assist farmers with operations, emissions and health. Local Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman said he was really pleased the projects had been funded as they are a good balance of direct action to help fight immediate threats and longer term goals about sustainability and soil health. “The projects will work to restore and better manage our landscapes, improve farm practices and care for our land, bringing farmers, land managers and the broader community together to work on important environmental and agricultural projects,” he said. The Bellarine Landcare Group have been granted $264,000 for stage two in the control of predators on the Bellarine Peninsula’s Ramsar wetlands. Bellarine Landcare coordinator Cate Barham said the funding was great news and it will be exciting to see how stage two goes. “The project has been implemented over the last couple of years, and although it might not be possible to completely control foxes, the funding will definitely help us to protect the wetlands and bird species from the threats foxes pose,” said Ms Barham. Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network will receive $152,900 towards product and processes trials to improve soil condition and productivity, ultimately extending to farmers and the broader community. Discussion groups and workshops will be established as a result of $43,032 in funding granted to the Upper Barwon Landcare Network to help farmers build capacity and better manage their farms.

Jan Juc Coast Action Group members working to re-establish and protect native vegetation.

Planet of the Days BY ALISON DEANE JAN JUC Coast Action Group will join forces with community groups on September 22-23 to assist in the preservation of our diverse environment as part of the annual Rip Curl Planet Days. In its 12th year, the Rip Curl Planet Days is a large scale conservation program aiming at improving coastal ecosystems, involving over 200 volunteers who plant indigenous trees and weed and mulch various areas across the Surf Coast. The program is the largest event on the Jan Juc Coast Action Group’s calendar, which chairperson Luke Hynes said highlights the significance of their passion for preservation

and revegetation of the Jan Juc coastline. “We love to work closely with other conservation groups to maintain our natural environment, and are always grateful for assistance and funding that make days like this possible,” said Mr. Hynes. Founded in 1994 by Ian and Roma Edwards, Jan Juc Coast Action was the first coast action group in Victoria, undertaking various conservation activities including management of species, removal of environmental weeds, erosion control and provision of tracks and lookouts. “In our first ten years we concentrated on planting and woody weed control, and today we maintain some planting, but undertake a lot of fine detail weeding.

“We work to re-establish the native vegetation on the Jan Juc cliff tops, and protect and enhance the native vegetation that’s already there.” Jan Juc Coast Action are always looking for new members passionate about conserving the natural environment, to get involved, the group meets on the first Sunday of each month at the Jan Juc cliffs, and undertake regular working bees. “Everyone can contribute to conserving our beautiful Surf Coast by sticking to paths and avoiding walking on the conservation areas.” Contact Luke Hynes for more information on 0406 113 438 or email luke@ beaconecological.com.au

Help threatened species BY ALISON DEANE BIODIVERSITY AND threatened species conservation is on everyone’s mind as September is National Biodiversity month, with National Threatened Species day held last week. Now is the time to emphasise the

importance of protecting, conserving and improving biodiversity across the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula, and the Department of Sustainability and Environment is leading the way. The DSE’s Threatened Species team employs over 20 staff who work to protect over 80 threatened species from the Wimmera

The critically endangered Victorian Eastern Barred Bandicoot.

to the coast. DSE south west threatened species senior project officer Garry Peterson said the south west team go to great lengths to discover and protect rare species to avoid and recover from near-extinction. “We work to bring back and preserve a range of disappearing flora species including threatened orchids, with a new species discovered last week. “We also undertake recovery work, monitoring and habitat protection for many animals including rare marsupials, birds, bats and whales, as well as lizard species, frogs, insects and crustaceans,” said Mr Peterson. The majority of the DSE’s threatened species work is conducted in partnership with the Corangamite, Glenelg Hopkins and Wimmera Catchment Management Authorities, with funding obtained from the Commonwealth’s Caring for Our Country Program and the State Government’s Natural Resource Investment Program. Mr Peterson encouraged everyone to take an interest in the biodiversity around them and help protect threatened species. “Staff get great satisfaction from helping species avoid extinction, and enjoy seeing others get involved in threatened species recovery – as a volunteer with local conservation groups and events, as a landholder helping to preserve a threatened species on their property, or by being a responsible pet owner ensuring pets don’t roam or impact on local wildlife.” For more information on biodiversity or how you can get involved see the DSE website, the South West Integrated Flora and Fauna Team wiki at www.swifft.net.au, or follow the DSE on twitter.

PROTECTING THE BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BARRABOOL HILLS

The Barrabool Rural Protection Group (BRPG) continues to fight the inappropriate development of a motorsports facility at McAdam Park in the Barrabool Hills. The inappropriate location of the planned facility in a sensitive environmental area in close proximity to homes and working farms raises significant planning, noise, environmental and other concerns. A major development in the Barrabool Hills will be unsustainable, will not meet the needs of motorcycle riders and is unacceptable to the community.

The BRPG calls on local and state governments to work together and with the community to identify a sustainable solution for motocross riding in the region. If you would like to help or need more information, please see our website www.brpg.com.au, which contains significant new information we have obtained through Freedom of Information processes including the original business case and the agreement between Motorcycling Australia and the Surf Coast Shire.

Singapore fling

Fuller

NICOLE and I travelled to Singapore for five nights of relaxing in June. With miserable weather back in Geelong, we left our families to enjoy the warmth of sunny Singapore. Having only stopped at Singapore Airport many years ago I was keen to see what Singapore had to offer. I was not disappointed. Our plans to relax and have a hard-earned break were quickly forgotten as we got into everything Singapore had to offer. It can be much more than a two-night stopover destination. We had the pleasure of experiencing a few tours with Tour East, and on the first day headed to Sentosa Island which now features Universal Studios. We steeled ourselves for some thrill-seeking and water trench rides for the morning followed by the afternoon exploring Underwater World, Butterfly and Insect Farm and the museum at Sentosa Island. By the evening we were watching the Songs of the Sea – a multi-sense extravaganza with a live cast, dramatic effects, water jets, lasers, fire and captivating music – on the beach. There is also much more to do at Sentosa such as the beaches, Skyline luge, the Tiger Sky Tower, the cable car, Fort Siloso, The Merlion and the Megazip. There is something for all ages. We enjoyed a Night Safari Tour to experience the animals at night in a tropical jungle, and also did the Singapore by Night Tour which features a visit to Bugis Street, dinner at Clarke Quay and finishes at the famous Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling. They are still serving peanuts with the peanut shells over the floors and tables.

We did a Singapore City Tour which included a visit to the National Orchid Garden and ended at the Singapore Flyer – the largest observation wheel in the world. We planned our break around the Singapore Sale which is generally from late May to the end of July. The shopping centres of Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Bugis Street and Chinatown are all full of bargains to be had. We visited the new and stunning Marina Bay Sands Resort, after walking from the Singapore Flyer. This is a glamorous integrated resort offering guests luxury hotel rooms, a world class casino, upmarket shops, conference facilities and the magnificent Sands SkyPark which tourist can visit for 20 SGD and experience the amazing view of Singapore and the bay from the Skydeck, while having a meal or just a drink. Getting around Singapore is very easy with the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), and taxis are very affordable. The city is extremely clean and we felt very safe travelling at night. Food was very reasonably priced and delicious. Alcoholic drinks were expensive. We stayed at Swissôtel The Stamford, which is in an excellent location, and flew with Emirates to Singapore. At Harvey World Travel we can book your holiday to Singapore, and for any groups of shopaholics we could put together a great experience for you.

Industry Info

David Furze joins Barry Plant BARRY PLANT Real Estate is very happy to welcome well-regarded, local property manager David Furze to their Torquay team in Pearl Street. With many years in real estate under his belt, David is glad to have recently joined forces with Barry Plant Torquay. “I am excited to be a new part of the Barry Plant team, and I aim to put landlords first, and maximise their investments,� said Mr Furze. David fell into real estate, after initially working in administration and contracts for a volume builder. “I started out as an assistant property manager, and property management was a natural progression,� he said. After growing up in Melbourne, David moved with his family to the

Surf Coast years ago and does not look back. “I love the area for the lifestyle. The Surf Coast is slightly more laid back than the hustle and bustle of the city, and the new highway makes it easy to head back to Melbourne to visit family and friends.� With a love of sport, especially football, David is a keen Magpies supporter, a fact he wants to keep under wraps for the time being. He is excited for finals season, and his new role with Barry Plant. For more information on holiday and long term rentals, and property sales, contact David Furze and the team at Torquay’s Barry Plant on (03) 5261 4001, or drop into the offices at 23A Pearl Street, Torquay.

Rentals availability improving THE JULY rental vacancy rates show that – in contrast to regional Victoria – the availability of rental homes in Melbourne continues to improve. The rental vacancy rate for Melbourne increased to 2.5 per cent from 2.2 per cent in June and is now well above the average for the past 12 months of 1.75 per cent. It appears that a reduction in population growth and increase in construction of new dwellings is now beginning to provide easier conditions for renters. The availability of rental homes has been very poor for the past six years and renters will welcome the recent increase in the vacancy rate. The fact that the vacancy rate is still below three per cent indicates that there are still too few rental homes. The highest level of vacancies is in the outer suburbs, where 3.2 per cent of rental homes are vacant. This is a substantial improvement from June, when the vacancy rate was 2.1 per cent. In the middle suburbs, the vacancy rate is 2.6 per cent – a small improvement from June, when it was 2.1 per cent. In the inner city there has been a slight tightening from 2.4 to 2.2 per cent. Rental homes in regional Victoria are still more scarce than in the metropolitan area, with a vacancy rate of 1.6 per cent compared to 1.5 per cent in June. Of the three main regional centres, Bendigo still has the tightest rental market, with a vacancy rate of only 0.3 per cent, down from 0.5 per cent in June. In Ballarat the vacancy rate was stable at 0.8 per cent and in Geelong there was a minor reduction from 2.4 to 2.1 per cent.

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

Quality on display THERE ARE so many horror stories going around of things that have gone wrong when building a home, or once a home is built, where people realise that the builder has cut every corner and jeopardised quality. Hotondo Homes provides peace of mind as all homes are built to the highest quality and standards. Hotondo Homes is a building franchise where builders remain independent and in charge of their own business. This means that builders have to uphold their reputation, as they rely on local business, and they also live in the local area. By becoming a Hotondo Homes franchise, builders have access to a range of floor plans, buying power and support, meaning that customers can achieve a great quality home at an affordable price. There are six independently owned Hotondo Homes franchises throughout Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast areas. These six builders all pride themselves on the great quality homes that they build. Through the buying power of Hotondo Homes, builders have access to well known reputable brands, and use them throughout all homes that they build. Hotondo Homes are so confident in the homes that they build, they even offer a maintenance period after you have moved into the home. Because you are dealing with members of the local community, they keep you informed every step along the way, and your builder can also be contacted at any stage throughout the building process. Each home comes with a fixed-price contract, so customers know the total cost of their home upfront and don’t have to worry about any additional extras further into the building process. The fixed-price contract includes everything for your home, including complete kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and much more, meaning you can move straight into your brand new home. To see the great quality homes that local builders have built, visit the display villages at Estuary Estate in Leopold and Arlington

Rise Estate in Portarlington and look for the Hotondo Homes signs. There are also two more display homes currently being built in Warralily Estate, Armstrong Creek, which are due to open earlymid 2012. If you choose to build with Hotondo Homes, your homes will be built to the same standards as the display homes, truly making your dream home come to life. To find your local builder, call 1800 677 156, or visit www.hotondo.com.au.

Built by locals for locals: an Hotondo Homes house glows in the dusk.

Stylish living at the Estuary

SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula home buyers can now enjoy the latest in stylish living with the Cosgrove 321 Boulevard and Princeton 251 Tempo from leading builder Dennis Family Homes, now on display at the Estuary Estate at Leopold. Both quality designs feature four double bedrooms, including main with ensuite, double garage and alfresco area for outdoor entertainment. The Cosgrove is a generously proportioned home of 32 squares, but can be constructed on lots with a minimum lot width of 16 metres, while the stylish Princeton measures 24.8 squares and is suitable to blocks from just 14 metres in width. “Our choice of the Cosgrove and Princeton for the Estuary Estate display is reflective of what our company has been doing in metropolitan areas in recent times,” said Dennis Family Homes area manager Geelong, Phillip Shaw. “Not only do these designs particularly suit the estate, which features allotments of 14 and 16-metre width, but they meet the growing trend of developing on narrower blocks than what has traditionally been the case.”

The spacious Cosgrove is part of the Dennis Family Homes Generations Series. The Princeton is from the Aspirations Series and visitors to the Estuary Estate are seeing this design displayed for the first time. “Amongst the Cosgrove’s many attributes are its roominess and liveability which make it an ideal second home, whilst the Princeton offers tremendous affordability for first home buyers looking to enter the market,” Shaw said. “In addition to a wide range of standard inclusions, we are offering the Cosgrove and Princeton with free carpets and tiles for a limited time only.” Both homes are featured with a range of optional extras on display at Leopold. The Cosgrove’s kitchen features a double wall oven tower, which effectively creates two ovens side by side. Also in the kitchen,

the island bench features a very handy Evoline pop-up power point which becomes accessible when needed, but remains discreetly and safely hidden away at all other times. Gloss cabinetry has been included in the display home kitchen, bathroom, powder room and ensuite, whilst the walk-in robe in the master bedroom has been fitted out so that everything has its place. Optional extras displayed in the Princeton at Leopold include an upgraded façade, upright cooker and sliding door from master bedroom to alfresco area. There are also entertainer sliding doors for outside access from the meals area and family room. Both are on display in Paraffin Drive, Estuary Estate, Leopold (Melway Ref: 468 C5). Displays are open weekdays 1-5pm and weekends 12-5pm. For more information about Dennis Family Homes, visit www.dennisfamily.com.au

No Hack with camouflage-style art BY DAVID FINLAYSON ARTIST Emma Hack, who did the body paint for Australian singer Gotye’s latest music video clip, has an exhibition of her unique skin-illustration art at Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery. Painting naked models to blend camouflage-style into wallpaper-patterned or similar backgrounds and photographing the result is her trade-mark creative style. The South Australian-based artist’s work is in demand internationally and she is currently also exhibiting at art fairs in New York and London. Hack has recently completed a body-art short film for Estee Lauder. Seaview Gallery’s Colleen Kenwood said the Hack’s work was extremely popular. “Emma’s coveted ‘wallpaper collection’ expertly blends the female form into famous Broadhurst wallpaper designs,� Ms Kenwood said. “Her first ever wallpaper camouflage back in 2005 took 19 hours straight to paint, with more recent works taking anywhere from seven to 15 hours, depending on the design. “It’s an exhausting process for artist and subject alike; however the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Pamela Manning of Queenscliff’s Seaview Gallery with one of artist Emma Hack’s unique skin illustration artworks, Peregrine falcon with spotted sun.

“Emma discovered the iconic Florence Broadhurst range of wallpaper designs which provided the perfect inspiration and was given access to the Broadhurst archives for her work,� she said. Emma Hack’s 21-year career has evolved from beginnings as a child’s face painter and qualified hairdresser and make-up artist to today’s world acclaim. During her career she has explored new mediums and

travelled to China to be part of a large Mont Blanc installation. While there she studied porcelain painting resulting in a collection of porcelain busts. She also created the ‘panoramic bodies collection’ shot on location in the South Australian outback where a team of acrobats and models where body-painted against the landscape. The Seaview Gallery is at 86 Hesse Street, Queenscliff, phone 5258 3645.

Another of Emma Hack’s interesting illustration artworks, Owl in the Woods, with a ghostly human form amongst the trees.

Spend the night GRAPEVINE Reminiscing } Beaujolais is back BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Jon Helmer

CORKS CREW CELLARS

THE BURGUNDY region isn’t just home to some of the world’s most famous pinot noirs and chardonnays, it also produces some of the most enjoyable wines. Located in the very south of the Burgundy region, Beaujolais produces only one wine – red – exclusively using the Gamay grape variety. Gamay makes a light to medium bodied wine, with distinctively rich fruity berry flavours. The key to this fruitiness is in the vinification, known as carbonic maceration. The grapes are picked as whole bunches and thrown in the vats, stalks and all. The bottom grapes are then crushed naturally by the weight from above. When they start to ferment, which in turn sets off fermentation in the remaining grapes, the heat causes them to ferment inside their skins causing a deeply coloured ‘fruity’ yet dry wine, low in tannins and high in acidity. There are 10 distinct villages known as ‘Cru du Beaujolais’ appellations and one that captured my attention is that of ‘Fleurie’. Its wines are ripe and fruity (yet still dry) and are renowned for the explosion of floral expression on the nose with highly perfumed red fruits and violets abounding. On the palate, the flavours are just juicy and delicious with velvety texture, elegance and silky smooth tannins. Predominantly drunk young, good vintages can be aged for many years. The two featured are great examples of the region and style and deserve your attention as the weather gets milder heading into summer, so bring it on!

2009 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais “Fleurie� ($28) So, impressive is this. I tried is last week at a trade tasting and was blown away by its gorgeous richness and ripeness – such easy drinking. The Duboeuf name is synonymous with top quality Beaujolais, in fact, George Duboeuf is known as The King of Beaujolais. Cru Beaujolais – in this case from the highly esteemed ‘Fleurie’ region, shows more fullness, flavour, structure and longevity than mere Beaujolais –Village offerings. The 2009 is a cracking vintage and I seriously suggest you re-acquaint yourself with this soft, ripe, silky, classic little Beaujolais.

2007 Cave De La Madone Beaujolais “Fleurie� ($42) A more serious version off older vines (60–80 years old) that shows more blueberry and dark fruit complexity, greater depth of flavours on the palate and intense fragrance on the nose, finishing with beautiful plush suppleness and balance.

ONE OF Australia’s foremost singersongwriters and former Little River Band front man, Glenn Shorrock, will play up close and personal in the luxury surrounds of Peppers Resort in Torquay next month. He is a legend in Australian music, having fronted The Twilights, Axiom and the Little River Band before pursuing a successful solo career. Since 1964 he has been at the forefront of popular music and with such hits as Curiosity Killed the Cat, Help Is on its Way, Cool Change and Emma. The dinner and show packages start from $145 per person per person and include a three-course meal, an intimate evening concert and a personal meet and greet with Shorrock, who also sang hits such as Reminiscing and Lonesome Loser. Glen Shorrock at Peppers The Sands Resort, Torquay, Friday, October 28. For ticket and accommodation enquiries call (03) 5264 3308.

Youthfest set to rock THE BELLARINE Secondary College’s Drysdale Campus will present Youthfest Goes Global. The event will showcase some of the special guests from the upcoming Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF). The Red Eyes, Tom Richardson, Sweethearts and a host of other guests will take part in this unique youth cultural festival day, as part of the QMF FReeZa program, which provides drug, alcohol, smoke-free, fully-supervised events to the community. Alongside special live music showcases, the QMF performers will offer student workshops in guitar, bass, drums, keys, song writing, artist mentoring and more. This QMF Youthfest program will offer a unique opportunity for students to be inspired by and learn direct skills from some of Victoria’s finest musicians and performers. Youthfest is organised by a creative team of students and is aimed at offering students a chance to try new things and experience activities not normally offered at school. Participating groups include Victoria Police, Headspace, Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre, Youth Foundations, Out There and Disabled Surfers amongst others. This year’s theme of Youthfest Goes Global relates to the promotion of diversity, mental health

and wellbeing. Multicultural awareness will be also be promoted and it will be a great opportunity for young people to connect with the community, and for the community to connect to its youth. A range of other local primary and secondary schools have been invited to Bellarine Secondary College to come along and join in the fun on Thursday, September 15 and it is expected that the day of activities will cater for 1,500 students and community members. It is a free event.

LAST WEEK I travelled to the Agrarian Kitchen just outside of Hobart to learn more about sustainable beef production and old time butchering. We learned about unusual beef cuts and proceeded to roast, braise, sautÊ, poach and barbecue our way through the local grass-fed beef. The cattle were ethically raised and dryaged specifically for our class. The Agrarian Kitchen, established by Rodney Dunn and his wife SÊverine, is Tasmania’s first hands-on, farm-based cooking school. It is a working farm and incorporates an extensive vegetable garden, orchard, berry patch and herb garden, all grown using organic principles. The class was led by Rodney Dunn, a former food editor of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine and one-time apprentice to Australian Chef Tetsuya Wakuda. We were instructed on butchery techniques by well known Hobart butcher Marcus Vermey, who has worked in Japan and runs an incredibly successful butchery in Sandy Bay. We prepared over ten dishes and for me the highlight was a beef carpaccio. At Torquay Farm Foods we can slice some of our grass fed porterhouse to make this dish simply and simply magnificent.

Carpaccio with Fried Polenta Cubes and Rosemary Chilli Oil Ingredients 200 gm yellow polenta 40 gm grated parmesan Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 200 ml olive oil 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 small red chillies, thinly sliced 400 gm grass fed porterhouse, cut into 1.5cm-thick slices 1/3 cup (loosely packed) rosemary sprigs

Place beef slices between pieces of plastic wrap and pound with flat side of a meat mallet until paper thin. Bring 850ml water to the boil in a large saucepan over high heat, season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and add polenta in a thin stream, whisking continuously. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, for 3040 minutes or until polenta is smooth and creamy. Stir in parmesan, pour polenta onto tray and spread to 2cm thick. Cover closely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool. For rosemary chili oil, heat oil in a small saucepan until just warm, add remaining ingredients and cool to room temperature. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan or deep-fryer to 180C. Using a sharp knife cut polenta into 2cm cubes and deep fry, in batches, for 5 minutes or until crisp and golden, then drain on absorbent paper. Place beef onto plates, divide polenta cubes among beef, drizzle with rosemary chilli oil and serve immediately.

From school to Big Day Out AUSTRALIAN high school students have the opportunity to showcase their musical style and talent through the MySchoolAct competition this year. Students will perform music ranging from punk rock to indie, through to classical and acoustic in a bid to win a Sony recording deal and the chance to be included in the Big Day Out 2012 line up. Exclusively created for Australian high school students, MySchoolAct offers a platform for budding musicians to be heard and discovered by submitting a video or MP3 of their songs, as well as images, biographies, updates and – most importantly – creating a fan base at www.myschoolact.com After a sensational career as a TV music host on Video Hits and now with a successful acting career in LA, Nathan Sapsford has returned from LA to present this year’s MySchoolAct competition.

Circus of love ACROBATICS, CONTORTION, hula hoops and adagio combine with the classical art of Chinese footjuggling in A4 Circus Ensemble’s spectacular show DownPour. Inspired by the Dostoevsky short story White Nights and re-imagined within a physical framework, the performers’ unique set of circus skills are used to consider and emotionalise this story of new love, lost love and every kind of in-between love. If you’ve ever been in love – particularly with the wrong person – DownPour will push your buttons and ring every emotional bell you have. Four characters stir from a sleep, disturbed by sounds of threatening weather. The stage is set and we’re taken on a seductive journey of powerful circus routines and magical imaginings. DownPour is fresh from a season at the Montreal Circus Festival and this is a unique opportunity to catch them for one night only at The Potato Shed, Drysdale. “They’ll draw you in and make you love them‌ When I left the theatre, the world seemed more beautiful and poetic,â€? Pan Magazine, Melbourne Fringe 2010.

A+E news in brief Cowrie market this Sunday

TORQUAY’S COWRIE market is on again. Specialising in home-grown and homemade products – as well as local art and music – the market will be held on the third Sunday of every month from September through to April. The market takes place along The Esplanade, in between Gilbert St and Anderson St. The first market of the 2011/12 summer period will be held this Sunday, September 18.

Dancing Latin

LOCAL LATIN band Los Locos will perform at Wolseley Winery this Sunday, September 18. The five-piece group incorporates the soulful percussion of Stella Savy, Jeff Raglus on the trumpet, Tim Fullerton playing doublebass, Wayne Parker on guitar and Michael Martinez on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Los Locos’ sound could be described as ‘Urban Latin’ and is a mixture of all the different personalities within the band. The performance will be held between 2-5pm and tickets cost $10. For more information contact Wolseley Winery on 0412 990 638.

Singing for fun

DownPour acrobats emotionalise Dostoyevsky’s short story White Nights with their unique set of circus skills.

Sick of singing in the shower? Why not head along to Bellbrae School Hall on September 30 for a bit of a singalong with other like minded people. Don’t worry, it’s not a choir, just a group of people that gets together monthly, with fun as the only priority. No bookings are required, just turn up on the night at 6pm. Entry is $10 for adults and $7 for concession card holders – this includes snacks, tea and coffee, as well as delicious homemade soup and crusty bread. For more information call Michele on 5261 4807.

Lorne sculpture on display soon LORNE SCULPTURE 2011 is holding its biennial exhibition event next month. The three-week festival of contemporary sculpture begins on October 16 and finishes November 6. Julie Collins was recently announced as curator and the committee is currently building on the success and excitement of the first two exhibitions. “It is now time to move Lorne Sculpture into a distinct position, differentiating it from other outdoor sculpture exhibitions throughout Australia,” Ms Collins said. Ms Collins’ personal definition of contemporary sculpture is “wide, varied and all encompassing”. As the curator she will be looking for projects which are “a mix of object based, representational, installation, site specific, ephemeral, time based media, sound, light, kinetic, happening and performance”. Ms Collins is keen to create an identity that differentiates the Lorne sculpture event from other outdoor sculpture exhibitions and which focuses on cutting edge works, particularly using the Lorne foreshore environment. “Lorne Sculpture 2011 should be seen as a ‘sculpture event’ rather than an exhibition per se and believe this should open the door to experimental works and ideas,” she said.

Josh Rawiri into town BY ALISON DEANE PORTLAND musician Josh Rawiri is hitting venues across NSW and Victoria in the next two months, on tour to celebrate the launch of his new album, Molecular Teleportation, set for release on October 7th. Rawiri’s creation of an Australian coastal blues roots rock has generated a following as a solo act, but shows on the Molecular Teleportation tour will feature his full band at various locations including Portland, Torquay and Queenscliff. Rawiri’s debut album, 2009’s If You Need Love, gained critical acclaim, wide radio play, song writing awards and high profile support shows, seeing him enjoy 24 months of solid touring activity generating a diverse fan base across the country.

Over the last few months, Rawiri has been independently promoting the new album’s second single War on Religion, representing the grass, roots and country elements of his sound. The single has received widespread radio play on major indie, adult-contemporary and country networks across Australia. Audiences can look forward to experiencing soulful blues, deep roots, rock jams and smooth melodies reminiscent of a sun-soaked summer roadtrip at the up-coming shows. If you like Ben Harper, The Black Keys, The Beautiful Girls and Jeff Buckley, be sure not to miss Josh Rawiri and his band on tour next month. The album will be released through the A&R Department and distributed by MGM. You can find Josh Rawiri and check out his sound Coming to Torquay later in the spring: Josh Rawiri on myspace, at www.myspace.com/joshrawiri and his cigar box guitar.

Month of entertainment for region’s seniors THE GEELONG Seniors Festival in on again, bigger and better than ever. The month-long event begins on October 1 and consists of activities and relaxed socialising for local seniors, with community-hosted events includes workshops, dances, concerts and tours. Theatre, sailing, art shows, traditional afternoon tea and a

visit to an animal farm among some of the activities. “Last year more than 7,000 people attended 80 events throughout the region and we expect even more will get involved in the 95 events we have offer this year,” Geelong Councillor and Community Development officer Kylie Fisher said. “The Geelong Seniors Festival encourages older

adults to explore new interests and extend their social connections. “It is a fantastic opportunity for seniors to try out some new interests and extend their social connections.” Copies of the festival program are available at customer service centres throughout the region.

Prepare for communication overload this week, as you are hit with information from a variety of sources. Travel is also highlighted but try to be flexible, as plans are likely to be changed at the last minute. Venus visits your career zone from September 15 to October 9 so cool cooperation – coupled with Capricorn charm - will help you move mountains at work.

The full moon highlights wellbeing issues – of a physical, emotional and spiritual nature. Issues from the past could also arise, as unresolved matters resurface and demand to be addressed. Venus moves into your relationship zone on Thursday, so it’s the perfect time for Rams to flex your romantic muscles. Singles – look for a lover who is mature and wise.

With the full moon activating your adventure zone, crawl out of your comfy crab-cave and start exploring the big world beyond your door. And don’t let fear of failure deter you from attempting the impossible. Be inspired by birthday great Samuel Johnson “Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome.”

Vampy Venus visits your sign from September 15 until October 9 so prepare to be at your luscious Libran best as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters. If you are attached, plan an exciting escapade with your partner on the weekend. Some singles will experience love at first sight on Saturday, when Uranus revs up your relationship zone.

This week’s full moon urges you to be more mentally flexible, as you take the rough with the smooth and search for the subtleties in every situation. Taureans are terrifically practical and logical but make sure you also utilise your imagination. Your quote for the week is from Lauren Bacall born on September 16, “Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.”

Leos love luxury but it’s not a good time to go on a spending spree, enter into a joint business arrangement, or lend money to others. You’re liable to make financial decisions based on your emotional state, which is fluctuating wildly under this week’s full moonbeams. Creative communication is favoured, as you tap into the talent in your local community.

Have the past few weeks been so frantic that you’ve had no time to catch up with close friends? The full moon stimulates your sociability gene, so you’re in the mood to reconnect with your peer group, as you get deep and meaningful about the things that really matter. And don’t be surprised if they have some unexpected and dramatic news to divulge.

Your spending patterns are erratic at the best of times. This week, with the full moon stimulating your money zone, it might be best to avoid shopping – and hide your credit card. Expect the unexpected on Saturday, as your rebellious attitude ruffles a few fragile feathers. Sunday is about excitement and adventure, as you spend time with family and friends.

Expect the unexpected at work this week, as the full moon shakes up your career zone. It’s time to focus on issues and details that would normally test your short attention span, as Jupiter and Pluto give your mental faculties a boost and help you concentrate. On the weekend, join forces with family and friends to find practical solutions to persistent problems.

Most people will have a hefty dose of full moon fever early in the week, so don’t expect them to behave in predictable, logical ways. Positive Mercury/Jupiter aspects will boost your Virgo vim and vigor on Thursday and stimulate your study gene. With the power of positive thinking on your side, you can climb any mountain and sail any stormy sea.

Avoid being housebound early in the week otherwise, with the full moon stirring up your domestic zone, you’ll just drive yourself and those around you crazy with your impatient and impulsive ways. Relations with children, teenagers or friends will be unpredictable on the weekend. Singles – looking for love online sees you make a hot new connection.

With this week’s full moon in your sign, you may be affected by mood swings and dramas as pliant Pisceans become pensive and petulant. But you can also expect creative inspiration and spiritual insights, as your inner muse demands to be heard. When it comes to helping others, aim to get the balance right between being generous and gullible.

Businesses to tackle depression SMALL TO medium businesses are being encouraged to take part in a free training program to prevent and manage depression and anxiety in the workplace. A beyondblue intitaitive, the Business in Mind program provides owners and managers of SMBs with a free DVD and resource kit to help them manage mental health problems in the workplace. The program centres upon effective stress management, work-life balance and positive relationship building and, according to beyondblue chairman Jeff Kennett, it is essential training for all small businesses. “This is an important initiative to help those in small business, with an illness that could affect business, profits and staff,” Mr. Kennett said. beyondblue national workplace program manager Therese Fitzpatrick said beyondblue recognises SMBs have different pressures to larger organisations, and need targeted easy-toaccess information about mental health in the workplace. “Due to time and resource constraints, and heavy workloads, SMB owners are often reluctant to set aside time for a structured workshop. “The program aims to equip SMB managers with the skills to identify signs of depression and anxiety, and promote safe, healthy working environments,” Ms Fitzpatrick said. Executive director of the Council of Small Business of Australia Peter Strong said there is a need to increase access to the kind of personal support that is available to employees in big business. “People in the small business sector face enormous financial pressures and a whole range of stresses which can negatively affect their health and create a stressful work environment for staff,” Mr Strong said. Business in Mind has been made possible by an Australian Research Council linkage grant and funding from beyondblue and Workcover Tasmania. To sign up for the free resource kit go to www. businessinmind.edu.au, and for information about depression, anxiety and related conditions visit www.beyondblue.org.au, or call 1300 224 636.

Park the left brain, do some soul collage LORNE-APHILE and art-therapist Tina Christensen is bringing “play� to the beach with two workshops (or playshops as she prefers to call them) in the September school holidays. The workshops are called SoulCollage MAMA and Touch Drawing and will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Lorne, 25-28 September. Mrs Christensen says SoulCollage MAMA uses images, imagination and intuition to connect with inner knowing. “For mamas young and old, this is an amazing tool or process for moving through transitions,� she said. “Because it’s so effective with transitions, I have developed a programme called SoulCollage Next Steps for families coming out of separation and wanting to move forward but not sure just where to next. “It’s empowering to experience having the answers to questions come from within, to know that it’s really possible.� Conversely, Touch Drawing is about the power of touch to connect with the stillness within. “For people who love the idea of meditation but

can’t do the crossed legs, this is probably just what they’ve been looking for,� Mrs Christensen said. “Gentle, delicious, and a bringer of tranquillity. It is pragmatic, creative and fabulous.� Mrs Christensen is a keen advocate of play for adults, and is presenting a paper at the Creative Methods: Widening the World of Work conference at the Abbotsford Convent next month. “It’s about unwinding the mind, engaging the right brain and parking the left brain for a bit. The opposite of play is not work. It’s depression.� “Research is showing that there are direct correlations between increased sociopathic behaviour and poor or no play. Hence this series of ‘playshops’. “The greatest gift for our children is for them to experience us laughing hysterically, shining, passionate. It is the one thing that can inspire them to want to ‘grow up’, knowing that life doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. They can keep playing!� Cost for one day is $129, additional day(s) $89. For more information and bookings visit www. thepowerofplay.com.au or call 0407 553 386.

Adults at play: SoulCollage uses images, imagination and intuition to connect with inner knowing.

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome day urges no drinks for mums BY ALISON DEANE LAST WEEK’S Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Day drew awareness to the dangers of alcohol consumption by women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mothers across the Bellarine and Surf Coast were reminded of the importance of abstaining from alcohol during these times, in order to avoid what is now the biggest cause of brain damage in newborns. Federal Member of Parliament, Dr Sharman

Epic Health Medical Clinic New opening hours Monday to Friday 8.30am - 9pm Saturday 9am - 6pm Sunday 10am – 5pm

Stone, said drinking is not something pregnant women should contemplate. “It is very worrying that women and girls in Australia are still not aware of the dangers of drinking while pregnant. “Foetal Alcohol Syndrome not only leaves the baby with irreversible and permanent brain damage, but it can also affect the child and adult’s capacity to hold down a job, live independently and enjoy the best things about life,� said Ms Stone. Falling annually on the 9th day of the 9th month,

Dr. Ben Tipper B.App.Sc.Chiropractic B.App.Sc.(Clin) MCAA MCOCA

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Day symbolises the term of a pregnancy, and reminds mothers-to-be that abstaining from drinking can significantly reduce the dangers and problems associated for newborns. Ms Stone said a motion highlighting the problem of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome in Australia has just been passed through the Senate and should soon go through the House of Representatives. “This motion will call on the government to better communicate the dangers of alcohol consumption mixed with pregnancy.

“We need to educate health service professionals, the police, teachers and all of those who may come into contact with people suffering from Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. This will give better support for those who are victims of their mother’s drinking, possibly facing a life of extra challenges and difficulties. “It is also very good news that some alcohol and beer companies have recently volunteered to label their bottles and cans with warnings about pregnancy and alcohol consumption.�

Kicking goals with Auskick BY LUKE GRIFFITHS WHAT’S BETTER than helping kids kick the footy? Winning an award for helping kids kick the footy. That’s what local resident and former Torquay player Tony Page has done after being named as the winner of the NAB AFL Auskick Volunteer of the Year award for the Geelong region. Every Sunday during the football season Mr Page coordinated Torquay’s Auskick activities for more than 260 children at local venues that included Spring Creek Reserve and Jan Juc oval. “My son started Auskick when he was four or five and I got brought along to help out and I suppose it just developed from there,� Mr Page said. “I’ve got three children and they’ve all done Auskick. Even my oldest daughter got dragged along on a Sunday as her mum had to work so she had no other choice.� In addition to NAB’s sponsorship of the program, local groups donated money throughout the year that helped provide many necessary resources, including a $2,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Bayside Geelong. “We recognise that the volunteers are what keep programs such as Auskick alive and well,� local NAB representative Kylie Scott said. “We’re pleased to present this award to Tony in appreciation of his commitment to the Auskick program.� Despite the honour, Mr Page is keen to downplay its significance, instead citing children’s enjoyment as his main motivation. “It is a privilege to receive this award. To be able to bring to life the Auskick program in our local community is extremely fulfilling as you can see first-hand just how much the kids enjoy it every week.� There are 2,800 Auskick centres nationally that cater for 168,000 children that aims to develop and promote participation in Australian rules football.

Auskick regional award winner Tony Page receiving a $2,000 donation from the president of the Rotary Club of Bayside Geelong Chris Sims.

Surf Coast semi-final matches U13 Boys: Surf Coast Blues 0 - 1 Geelong Rangers Captained by Mathew Lloyd, the Blues displayed courage, commitment and camaraderie in their semi-final against Geelong Rangers. The boys played their positions well, maintained strong defence in the backline and had several good tries early on. The opposition were strong and at half time the score was nil-all. Plenty of action continued in the second half with hard knocks and rough tumbles. With only minutes to go it was down to the wire: a nail biting finish was in store with both teams desperate to score. The sound of the whistle was met with gasps from the side lines. The penalty shoot out saw a stellar effort by Jamie Van De Berg, Luke Lloyd, Steve Tsatsaronis, Oliver Rose-Gregg and Fergus White – all of whom handled the pressure in their stride and scored three goals from five kicks, just missing out. Although disappointed, the boys held their heads high in support of each other and respect for the winning side. The season ended on a high note thanks to the great coaching efforts and encouragement from Coach Geoff Lloyd

and exceptional team manager, Lisa Tsataronis. Thanks go out to all the parents and friends who supported the boys and ferried them to games week after week. Finally, congratulations to all players on a fantastic end of season. U13 Girls: Surf Coast Blues 7 - 0 Barwon Surf Coast attacked the ball early and were rewarded with five superb goals in the first half. Coby McInereny kicked an amazing four, with Taylah Hefford adding to the score with one. The second half saw Amy Suessmeir and Coby kick one more each. Barwon fought a hard game, chasing and defending well, but congratulations goes to Surf Coast. Well done girls and good luck with the grand final next week. U13 Boys: Division 1 Surf Coast Blues 3 – 1 Barwon In a very physical match Surf Coast players fought the wind and an attacking Barwon, before winning their way into the grand final. Congratulations to all players and good luck playing against Corio Bay. Goals kicked by Victor Ostrowsky, Jordon Gibson and Brodric Von Brandenstein.

Big Weekend for the Waves! It has been a fantastic season for the Surfside Waves Soccer Club with numerous teams winning league titles and competing in finals. The Division 2 Senior Men won the league and face off in a home semi-final next week. The Senior Women were not to be outdone, also taking the league title with a win in the final league match, clinching top spot and a home final. The U15 Boys took out the league championship and won their semi-final to move into next weekend’s grand final. The U12 Boys were unlucky to narrowly go down in their semi-final in a high scoring game against Surf Coast Yellow. Unfortunately the U15 Girls also lost a tight semi-final encounter to Surf Coast. The U13 Girls took the league title and moved into the grand final, following a 5-1 win over Bell Park Red. This is an outstanding effort for a small club.

JUNIOR SEMI-FINALS RESULTS U15 Boys: Surfside 3 - 0 Surfcoast Another great performance by the boys. They need to maintain focus on the grand final and cap off a top season with the premiership. U12 Boys: Surfside 3 - 4 Surf Coast Yellow Great effort to come back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 at half time. Surf Coast piled on the pressure in the second half scoring twice to take a 4-3 lead. The Waves fought hard but couldn’t find an equaliser. The boys have improved immensely over the season and did well to make the finals. U15 Girls: Surfside 0 - 2 Surf Coast A very tight encounter between two very even teams could have gone either way. The Waves battled hard with only 11 players to really push Surf Coast. Well done girls!

Senior Men: Surfside d Corio Bay Surfside was awarded the match on forfeit: not ideal preparation for next week’s semi-final but finishing on top the boys should be full of confidence.

U13 Girls: Surfside 5 -1 Bell Park Red The girls showed why they finished on top of the ladder in a commanding performance against Bell Park Red, and are very excited to be playing in their first grand final. Well done to all clubs and coaches involved.

Senior Women: Surfside 3 - 0 Breakwater Eagles The Waves proved that they were a class unit with a fantastic performance under immense pressure in the race for the title.

Torquay’s Michael Brown proudly wears his Cole Medal after winning the BFL reserves best and fairest by one vote.

Brown wins Cole Medal BY LUKE GRIFFITHS LEAGUE BEST and fairest, tick. Club best and fairest, tick. Premiership medal, possibly. Torquay reserves player Michael Brown won the Bellarine Football League’s Cole Medal with 15 votes, one ahead of Anglesea’s Lucas Cameron. The league award complemented Brown’s runaway victory in the Torquay reserves best and fairest count held in late August. Brown struggled with soft-tissue injuries

early in the season and only managed 11 games for the season, which made the league award even more special. “You never know what’s going to happen in a best and fairest. I knew I had had a couple of decent games but because I missed a few games at the start of the year I didn’t rate my chances,” Brown said. “It turned out to be a pretty good night for me, although I had to take off early because I had to work in Box Hill the next morning. Hopefully we can have a good win in the grand final against Modewarre this weekend.”

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB

WITH MARGOT SMITH

JUST when we thought we had an early start to summer the weather turned again. The shorts are back in the cupboard and the wet weather gear back in the bag. Our new professional, Steve Lipovas, is offering members a great deal for joining the VIP club. A box of new balls and discounts should be enough, but we also have half price lessons, and if you’d been fooling yourself that it only the weather keeping your handicap high, then maybe you can avail yourself of the lessons. It is probably a good time to get those lessons as well. Open week entries are coming in thick and fast, and a lesson now should have your swing all sorted in time for the competition. The event calendar is much the same as last year with more shotgun starts. Entry forms are on the website and available from the office. You can bring your friends for Open Week, but you can bring them the weekend before as well for Guest Day on Sunday October 9.

Men’s competition The men were greeted with strong winds on Saturday for the monthly medal and the first round of the senior and junior club championships. David Mallett won A Grade with a nett 72 off a handicap of three from playing partner Dick Hammett who had a 76. Chris Pickett had the best round of the day to win the medal and B Grade with a wonderful 69 from Laurie Gudykunst who had a 70. Paul Eddy won NTP on the 5th, while Gary Kerr took out the double winning NTP on the 7th and 17th and Luke Vasallo was closest on the 13th. The senior club championships (aged 55 plus, and apologies to those members who I insulted!) is played over two rounds, in conjunction with the September and October medal rounds. David Mallett has a handy lead after the opening round, shooting a 75 to lead by nine shots from Mike Trickey, with Dick Hammett two shots

Weekend competition The threat of bad weather on Saturday didn’t eventuate. The event was a two person aggregate par, with the best aggregate score for the ladies going to Valda Connelly and Ann stokes with square, while Allan Foster had a good day for the men. NTPs for the day were won by Janice Pekin, Brent McDonald, Chris Giri and Chris Gleeson. Sunday’s weather was even scarier, but those that played really only had to contend with the wind. Maralyn Cross had her second win for the week with 42 points. Toby Cumming had the same score winning the men’s event and Wally Karnilowicz was runner up with 40 points. NTPs were won by Peter Hester, Neville Sprigg and Wally Karnilowicz on two holes. Enjoy your golf!

Weekend results Saturday was stableford and it was another windy day – but the scoring was still hot. The winner of A Grade was Ross Duff on a count-back with 39 points, B Grade was topped by Geoff Richmond with 43 points, Noel Jaques defeated all comers in C Grade with 44 points and D Grade went to Ward Szymczak with 43 points. NTPs were awarded to Michael Nemeth, Noel Jaques, Rod Papworth, Ross Duff and the jackpot was won by Evan Huebner. There were two eagles, one on the 9th hole by Jai Whittington and on the 16th by Craig Brinsdon. Ladies winner was Sue Booth with 40 points, Sue is taking shot after shot off her handicap, awesome work! NTPs went to Ainsley McCallum, Marilyn Young, Yvonne Dean and Lyn Brady. As wet, windy and cold as it was we still managed to have 18 brave souls play in Sunday’s competition. And you wouldn’t believe the winner of the comp, it

was one of our youngest juniors, Tom Powell with +3, adults beware! Only one NTP went off, Ted Fitzpatrick on the 8th. Golf shop The juniors played four holes on Sunday afternoon as part of a new program and it was enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. The winner for the four holes was Campbell Devine and the runner up was Jack Moran. All kids were excited to meet some new friends on the course and they all won a new golf ball for their fine efforts. We hope to see them back again next Sunday in preparation for the Junior Pump Golf Shootout to be held on September 25 – call the golf shop on 5261 2506 for details. Golf Week tee times are filling quickly, all players are encouraged to enter their forms as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

GOLFERS have experienced weather extremes this week – from glorious sunshine to hail and everything in between.

The Sands Golf Club

Midweek results The men played a par round on Wednesday with a smaller than normal field competing. Bob Stephens was the big winner for the day with 8 up winning C Grade. Alan Parton was the next best with 6 up winning the seniors and Paul Lata and Peter Williams won the A and B Grades respectively with 2 up and 1 up. NTPs were won by Ian Weaver, Keith Turner on two, and Peter Jackson. The ladies had an age competition with three categories – young, younger and youngest. The day’s best score was from Maralyn Cross with 43 points and the best score in the young field. Debbie Gill, refreshed after a few weeks in Europe, had 40 points to be the best younger player and Anne Mangan was the best youngest with 36 points. NTPs

were won by Judy Talbot on two and Pauline Hendrie.

WITH MICHAEL CLANCY

Midweek results TUESDAY was back to winter again and the ladies were quite happy to get the 18 holes in without too much rain. The four-ball competition winners were Sue Booth and Dee Matheson with +11, while runners-up were Christine Rudd and Trish Morris with +9. NTPs went to Inge Oliver, Lyn Brady, Kathy Simson and June Laidler while the jackpot on the 13th hole was taken out by Yvonne Mazylis. TGC hosted the Men’s Guest Day on Wednesday that included two shotgun starts and a BBQ buffet: a fantastic turn out with 156 players, including 38 guests. Fred and Ken Allan and James Ellis (Barwon Valley) and Alan Scholten took the prizes. NTPs went to James Ellis (Barwon Valley GC), Michael Lunney, Philip Smith, Albert Wilkinson (Sunshine GC), Bill Bond, Christopher Wright (Queenscliff GC) and Joe Magliano.

further back. David had a day to remember as he also won the NTP on the knockout hole, by having a hole in one! On medal days, a special NTP event will be held on the knockout hole with the winner to receive a $25 voucher to use at Hanners Restaurant. The event is open to all members, regardless of whether you have played in the day’s competition or not. The event will be staged late in the afternoon so mark it in your diary. It was a great day for golf on Wednesday and there were some excellent scores for the par event. Laurie Gudykunst won with 5 up from a large group of players on 4 up. Peter Poteralski claimed runner-up on a countback with 4 up. Colin Chinn and Andy Samu won the NTPs. Women’s competition Despite the lack of a lunch menu the women had plenty to smile about on Thursday with a perfect day for golf. Heather Smith won the par event with 3 up from Sarah Tokolyi on 2 up. Sue Browne won NTP on the 7th while Marie Powell took the honours on the 13th. This week

the women will play a four-ball stableford event with partners to be drawn. Check the website for tee off times. It was the survival of the fittest on Saturday with many women electing to come in after nine holes with the wind howling and the rain falling. Carol McDonald withstood the elements to win with 35 points from Merle Whitnall on 32. Pro-shop news Next week the Pro Shop will be having a huge sale on golf balls, so its time to clean out the golf bag and get rid of all those old unwanted balls. There’s been plenty of banter with the football finals, with several clubs represented by adoring fans. Bad luck to Serena and her beloved Bombers, while Frank still can’t stop smiling about his Blues. Kate and her Weagles get a second chance, as does Steve and the winged Hawks. Meanwhile, Tybin and Browny are purring away, lapping up last Friday’s victory, waiting for their next opponent. Happy golfing!

Tigers sizzle in last quarter BY LUKE GRIFFITHS A REMARKABLE final quarter display has put the Torquay reserves side into this week’s grand final. Trailing arch rival Ocean Grove by three points at the final break, the Tigers kicked six goals to one in the last quarter to run away 27 point winners. At a wind-swept Drysdale ground, Torquay had only kicked three goals in the first three quarters and was struggling with its ball use. Conversely, Ocean Grove kicked three goals with the wind in the first quarter, yet managed only two more for the rest of the game. “I gave the boys a bit of a rev up at three quarter time, but it was more a case

of them realising what they were playing for,” Torquay coach Luke Cormack said. “It was the best football we have played all year. Our tackling, smothering – all the one-percenters – were unbelievable in that last quarter.” Jake Powell was best-on-ground, and was ably assisted by Jonathan Hobbs and Tyler Lovell. Brent Dixon and Timothy Dickson both kicked two goals for the victors. For the Grubbers, Roscoe Portelli and Timothy Baker were their side’s best, while Andrew Lowson kicked two goals. Torquay will have the home-ground advantage at this week’s grand final against Modewarre and Cormack is confident that the Tigers can win its first reserves premiership since 2005.

“I think playing at home is a big advantage for us. We like the big grounds and have been running out games really well lately. We’ve beaten Modewarre once already this season and we’re confident we can do that again on Saturday. “Selection will be tough. We have about 30 guys to choose from so a few are going to have to miss out.” Meanwhile, Torquay’s Under 18s team (pictured right) enjoyed a week off and look forward to facing Geelong Amateurs in the grand final. Amateurs caused a major surprise by defeating Drysdale by 29 points in Saturday’s preliminary final. Drysdale were undefeated during the home and away season with a percentage of 350, but failed to win a final after Torquay defeated them last week.

Torquay Under 18 players Pierson Bennett, Jesse Dawson, Paul Burchell, Jai Tweedale, David Allitt, Mackenzie Burns and Adam Gross have all had a taste of senior football action this year. Torquay will play Amateurs in this weekend’s under 18 grand final.

Queenscliff into grand final BY LUKE GRIFFITHS QUEENSCLIFF comfortably won its way through to this year’s Bellarine Football League grand final, defeating Anglesea by 44 points at Drysdale on Saturday. It will be Queenscliff’s first grand final appearance since 1977. The Coutas were just one point up at half-time, but kicked five goals to one in the third quarter and were clearly the better side in the second half. “I don’t know why but the boys were a bit flat in the first half. We got stuck into them a bit during the main break and to their credit they responded,” Quennscliff coach Heath Jamieson said. Stuart Whitelaw continued his fine finals form with a best-on-ground performance, while Queenscliff captain Tom Limb kicked two goals and was one of his team’s best players. For Anglesea, Marcus Smith kicked

three goals was his team’s only multiple goal kicker. Luke Adams – recruited mid-season from Daylesford – was one of the Roos’ best, along with Jarrod Whitten and Joel Tipping. Queenscliff will now face off against Geelong Amateurs in the grand final at Torquay this weekend. “We beat Torquay by more than 100 points there during the season so we’re definitely happy that the grand final’s being played there,” Jamieson said. “We’re confident in our own ability and we know that we can beat any team if we play to our strengths.” The grand finalists faced off in the second round of the finals, with Amateurs winning by 45 points. Jason Tom, runner-up in last week’s Ash Medal, kicked eight goals for Amateurs that day and Tim Clark kicked four, however, Jamieson said his team has the capabilities to reverse that result.

TIDE TIMES

WELL ONCE again another snapper season is almost upon us and, as I have reported before, Fisheries have advised all of us that we can expect a bumper season based upon the expectations of our better managed and maintained snapper resources. Fisheries with recreational fisherman and commercial fisherman are working to ensure those stocks are maintained and as part of that program, fisheries are again promoting 13FISH, the 24-hour reporting line for illegal fishing activity. It is proving a winner with resource conscious Victorians. Fisheries Victoria Executive Director, Anthony Hurst, said that since the inception of 13FISH in 2003 almost 15,000 calls have been recorded from all over the state. “These calls have led to the prosecution of, or issuing of on-the-spot fines to nearly 1,100 individuals,” Mr Hurst said. As a result of one call, fisheries officers were able to plan and conduct an operation that led to the arrest of three men for illegally using a mesh net to take 832 fish, 709 of which were undersize. The men pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay $30,000 including fines and compensation. “The 13FISH brand is now well recognised and supported by Victorian fishers and the broader community,” Mr Hurst said. “The government has committed $500,000 (up from $300,000) to continue and enhance this program to support the future of recreational and commercial fishing in Victorian waters and dependent businesses. “13FISH provides the community with an

opportunity to help protect fisheries resources and is a key part of our fisheries compliance program.” This comprises community engagement and education, high profile (uniform) and plainclothes Fisheries’ officer patrols, intelligence collection and targeted investigations. These are all underpinned by significant statutory penalties, jail sentences, forfeiture and enhanced officer powers. Manager of Strategic Intelligence in Fisheries Victoria, Ian Parks said the reporting line provided a single point of contact for the public to report fisheries offences as well as provide valuable intelligence. “We are not able to always respond to information immediately, however, the information is vital to help plan education activities, patrols, operations and investigations,” Mr Parks said. So everyone, it’s a timely reminder for all of us. Make sure your fishing licences are up to date don’t forget to check if yours is still current. Remember also that we who want to continue enjoying our sport have a responsibility not only to ourselves but to our kids who also want to fish and their kids in the future.
