Humphrey forced to juggle obligations with ratepayers association and his re-election to council

BY NATHAN HALE

SURF Coast Shire’s newest councillor, Ron Humphrey, has been left to perform a delicate balancing act. Humphrey was elected to council last Thursday following a countback of votes after councillor Lindsay Schroeter surprised everyone last month by announcing his resignation. Humphrey’s return, however, is certain to raise eyebrows as he is the newly elected president of the Surf Coast Community Ratepayers Association.

Surf Forecast

While many will see the position of councillor and head of the local ratepayers association as in direct conflict, Humphrey is hoping to be able to perform both duties. “I have been a member of the ratepayers association for something like seven years,” Humphrey confirmed. “Spencer Leighton was president but he has stood down and I have taken over the role… so now that I am back on council there might be some conflicts of interest that I will have to deal with. “However, I am very keen to give the community

a voice and being president of the ratepayers association was one way of doing that. “Now that I am back on council nothing has changed… I still want to be able to provide a voice for the community.” Surf Coast Shire director of corporate services, Stephen Wall, said council would not be forcing Humphrey to quit his presidency. “Council provides training and guidance to councillors in relation to conflicts of interest,” he said. “It is up to individual councillors to declare any

conflicts as appropriate.” Former shire mayor, Keith Grossman, said if Humphrey is to perform his council duties to the best of his capabilities that he should stand down from his position with the ratepayers association. “In these type of organisations you have to be fairly neutral,” he said. “So I don’t really think he should be holding down that position and being a councillor as well.” Although Michael Lewis and Garry Kerr gained more votes than Humphrey at the 2008 election, Humphrey benefitted from preference votes.

Remembering Lorne’s history

IT WAS a great pleasure last week to return the foundation stone of Lorne’s first post office to Mountjoy Parade. The stone, laid by then member for Polwarth Charles Lamond Forrest on November 9, 1888; has been restored close to its original location near the Cumberland Resort. It was great to have representatives of the Lorne community in attendance; including Peter Spring from the Lorne Community Association, Dee Stewart from the Lorne Business and Tourism Association and former Lorne post master, John Schmidt. Retired councillor, Lindsay Schroeter, also played a role in ensuring the stone returned to its rightful place. It’s very pleasing, following the revitalisation of the Mountjoy Parade streetscape, that we could work together to return this important piece of history to its rightful place.

LorneCH keeps momentum

Following the stone unveiling, council held its monthly meeting in Lorne at the Lorne Senior Citizens Centre. A number of items were on the agenda, including an update on the progress of the highly successful LorneCH Community Building Initiative. Council has recently applied to the MacPeherson Smith Alliance for funding to help employ a community facilitator to continue LorneCH’s great work. If the application is successful, Surf Coast Shire will take over from the CFA as the auspicing agency for LorneCH. Since its inception in 2005, LorneCH has had a hand in securing more than $600,000 in investment in Lorne. Council is hopeful of continuing this

important initiative for years to come. Key issues that LorneCH could focus on in the future include housing affordability and renewing Lorne’s residential base. Council thanks the CFA and all who have been involved in LorneCH on its great achievements.

A milestone for Bells Beach

Also in Lorne, council adopted one of its most important plans for 2010. The endorsement Bells Beach Coastal Management Plan and Masterplan brought to fruition more than 12 months of hard work from council with the Bells Beach Advisory Committee and a number of partners. The plans, which have been adopted after an extensive community consultation process, include an estimated $3.8million in upgrades to ageing infrastructure at the reserve. This includes toilet facilities, with council already investigating connecting current facilities to Barwon Water’s sewer network to help cope with demand. Current facilities are being pumped out at least twice a week to ensure they do not pose any public health or environmental risk; but council sees connection to the sewer network as vital to ensure this infrastructure can cope with demand. The plan also earmarks a second toilet to be built at the Winkipop Car Park, which would also be connected to the sewer network. The Coastal Management Plan will have no impact on the beach or the surfing break, while a third car park initially proposed in draft plans to manage increasing number of tourist buses has been removed. I would like to thank the Bells Beach Advisory Committee and groups like DSE, Surfers Appreciating Natural Environment (SANE) and all who participated in the extensive public

consultation process around the production of these plans. We will be looking to our partners in state and federal government to assist with funding these major upgrades to this reserve of international significance.

Surf Coast Arts Calendar competition

Artists that live or are ratepayers in Surf Coast Shire are invited to submit one original art work for possible inclusion in council’s 2011 calendar, which will once again feature local art at its best. Entry forms are now available from council’s Grossmans Road office or www.surfcoast.vic. gov.au Entries will only be received on Tuesday, October 5 from 10am-6pm at Torquay Central, Bristol Road. For more information, contact Julie Dyer on 5261 0645 or jdyer@surfcoast.vic. gov.au

Council vacancy filled

Last Thursday, the Victorian Electoral Commission announced Ron Humphrey as the successful candidate in a countback of 2008’s council election results held to fill the vacancy left by Lindsay Schroeter’s retirement from council. On behalf of council, I congratulate Cr Humphrey on his return and look forward to working with him as part of our team.

Warm regards,

Libby

Welcome to the second of our bi-monthly columns in the Surf Coast Times for 2010 where we report on some of the recent activities within our business. Peregrine Falcons return The 2010 Peregrine Falcon breeding season at Alcoa Anglesea is upon us. Alcoa Anglesea was home to a breeding pair of Peregrine Falcons from 1991-1995 on a ledge in the open cut coal mine. It would be 8 years before Peregrines were time returning to the Power Station. After two

environmental staff installed a nest box for the pair on the site’s water tower in 2004. A webcam and accompanying information at http://www. alcoa.com/falcons has shown live images from this nest box since 2006. Due to continuing our employees and visitors to our operations we have had to relocate the nest box this year to a stand-alone location away from our main buildings. The Peregrine Falcons continue to spend time at the Power Station and courting

has joined Havoc this year. There is still no evidence of the falcons having visited their new nest box site which means the webcam has not to monitor and photograph the birds. Alcoa has an ongoing interest and involvement with  � � Anglesea and Point Henry sites working alongside the Victorian Peregrine Project (VPP) to assist with research and conservation of the species. This work is part of the environmental management work underway at each Alcoa site to promote conservation.

GORCC re-offers restaurant lease BY ELEANOR WOODS LEADING restaurateurs and food operators from throughout the state are expected to be lining up for what could prove the opportunity of a lifetime. Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) last week announced it will reoffer the lease for its planned restaurant at Torquay’s Fishermans Beach. The restaurant lease was originally tendered in 2007, but because of changes

Grand final reshuffles FOLLOWING the weekend’s AFL grand final draw, the Surf Coast Times would like to remind readers that disruptions to normal operating hours may occur again this weekend. This may be especially significant with real estate agents who have auctions or open houses booked for Saturday afternoon. Anyone looking to attend an open house or auction scheduled for this Saturday is asked to contact the local agent to confirm it is still going ahead as planned.

over the last three years, GORCC has decided to put the lease back up for grabs. “These include changes driven by the Global Financial Crisis, along with others closer to home, such as those relating to the facility’s final design – which was still very much in the early draft stage three years ago – and to the recently agreed project arrangements,� said GORCC boss Richard Davies. “Both these factors are directly related to the restaurant lease.�

The site, which is part of the new community, tourism and recreation facility at Fishermans Beach, will attract strong interest from local and metropolitan restaurateurs. “This represents a rare and exciting opportunity to establish a new dining venue in a much sought-after beachfront location that is sure to be a major drawcard for locals and visitors alike,� Davies said. The lease is expected to be advertised

TWO PEOPLE had a lucky escape after their plane crashed on the Surf Coast Highway near Geelong on Saturday. The plane was coming in to land when it clipped powerlines short of the runway before crashing to the ground. The pilot and a teenage girl were the only two people in the plane, and both were helped to safety before the plane burst into flames. Both were taken to Geelong Hospital but neither was seriously hurt. A driver also had a fortunate escape when the power lines fell onto the car. The accident happened around 11am on Saturday morning, and caused a 90-minute blackout to most parts of Torquay. The accident closed the Surf Coast Highway from Mount Duneed Road to Boundary Road for more than an hour.

Food for floods BY ELEANOR WOODS LEND a helping hand for flood victims in Pakistan this month by enjoying food at its finest. Red Cross is joining forces with Crowne Plaza Torquay to offer an afternoon of culinary preparation and tastings to raise money for sufferers of the devastating monsoon flooding. Crowne Plaza’s head chef, James Robinson, will lead the demonstrating; cooking a series of delectable dishes in the afternoon session which guests will then taste. Host, Surf Coast celebrity Nicky Buckley, will MC, keeping attendees entertained while Robinson prepares the food. A grand raffle prize of a weekend for two at Crowne Plaza is also on offer at the event. More than 20 million people have been affected by recent monsoon flooding in Pakistan; with latest figures showing more than 1,500 have died. Red Cross Torquay chairperson, Dorothy O’Donnell, said any support the local community could offer would go a long way. “The only way I can describe the floods is that they are indescribable,� she said. “The devastation is just phenomenal. I encourage as many people as possible to lend a helping hand.� Red Cross is working hard to help prevent water borne diseases, distribute relief supplies and assist people worst affected by providing food and clean water, medical treatment, shelter, hygiene kits and helping to trace missing family members. Torquay and Grovedale Red Cross groups are

organising the event – which will be held from 4pm on Sunday, October 10, in the Crowne Plaza Ballroom. “This will be a great, fun event for an extremely worthy cause,� O’Donnell said.

All proceeds go to the Red Cross Pakistan Monsoon Floods Appeal. Tickets need to be pre-purchased for catering numbers, cost $30 and are available by contacting Dorothy on 5261 9143 or Elaine on 5243 2849.

Torquay hosts world’s best BY ALISON APRHYS SOME of the world’s best cyclists and back up crew consisting of coaches, masseurs, mechanics, doctors and team managers have been using Torquay to prepare for this week’s UCI Road World Championships. The Belgian, Austrian and United States teams

have all made Torquay their home as they prepare for the world titles, which will be held this week in Geelong. For the 16 male and five female Belgian cyclists, Torquay is a town which has impressed them, but their main focus remains on the road. “We are here to win,� said leading women’s rider, Grace Verbeke.

And while the waves and scenery have caught their attention – not all things have impressed. “We like it here, but we don’t like vegemite,� Verbeke said. The other girls laugh and say how much they would like to try surfing once the event is over. “It looks fun, but really hard,� said Liesbet De Vochi.

2700 Extra Bus Services for UCI Road World Championships More than 2700 extra bus services will run across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula for the UCI Road World Championships cycling event in Geelong from Tuesday 28 September to Sunday 3 October. The bus companies are adding an extra 1500 services from the Tuesday to the Friday and more than 1200 services on the weekend to cater for the tens of thousands of visitors to Geelong and to help minimise disruptions for local residents. During the event there will be two temporary bus interchanges operating in central Geelong • at Little Malop Street West (Johnstone Park); and • at Little Malop Street East (behind Officeworks). Services operating from Little Malop Street West (Johnstone Park) will be Geelong Transit routes 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 30, 35, 36, 45 (north suburbs only), 50, 51, and Bellarine Transit routes Torquay/ Jan Juc (74) and Ocean Grove via Barwon Heads (80). Services operating from Little Malop Street East (behind Officeworks) will be Geelong Transit routes 45 (eastern suburbs only), 55, 61, 62, 77, South Geelong Station Shuttle and Bellarine Transit routes Portarlington, St Leonards (79), Indented Head, Drysdale, Ocean Grove, Clifton Springs, Queenscliff (75) and Point Lonsdale. Services on routes 14, 15, 18, 17, 19, 20, Torquay and Apollo Bay will not run along High Street, Belmont. Instead, a Belmont Shuttle will provide frequent connections to these services in Settlement Road.

Mothers take on the shire BY NATHAN HALE A GROUP of dissatisfied Torquay mothers have formed a group on Facebook, voicing their concern at the way the Surf Coast Shire treats its ratepayers. The group – known as the Dissatisfied Ratepayers of the Surf Coast Shire – was formed after a local mother and her children were told that council vehicles were informed not to stop for children crossing the road. “I couldn’t believe it when a council truck driver said he had been informed not to stop,� said Torquay’s Amber Potter. “I was trying to cross the road with four children and my son, Ethan, who is five, was starting to cross and I saw a council truck coming around the corner and he looked as though he wasn’t going to stop. “I shouted out to him and he stopped and when I asked him what he was doing he said council officers had informed all drivers not to stop. “I just couldn’t believe it – surely commonsense should prevail in these circumstances.� Potter and the children were trying to cross the council chambers entrance on Grossmans Road when the incident occurred.

This, along with other incidents and general unhappiness with the shire, led Victoria Walsh to starting up the group on Facebook. Surf Coast Shire chief executive officer, Mark Davies, was quick to deny drivers had been informed not to stop, and said council had worked to make the area safer for children and parents. “Like all drivers, our staff members are required to be aware of pedestrians. Council has never encouraged its staff not to stop at the entrance,� he said. “Grossmans Road is particularly busy at school times. We work with our staff and nearby schools to ensure everyone is aware of the need to be vigilant at peak crossing times. “We will continue to assess safety in this area to see if additional action needs to be taken. “While the area isn’t a designated school crossing, council has recently acted to make the area safer. “We re-aligned the footpath and crossing point in its driveway to ensure it is safer for pedestrians, particularly school children. The upgrade has ensured drivers have more space in which to stop and there is a clearer line of sight for both drivers and pedestrians.�

Pictured at the funding announcement were (from left) Michael Crutchfield, Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, and Minister for Housing, Local Government and Aboriginal Affairs, Richard Wynne.

$200,000 library boost TORQUAY Library has received a $200,000 State Government grant to help with its refurbishment. The announcement was made last week in Torquay by Local Government Minister, Richard Wynne. The funding is part of the Living Libraries programme – which this year will distribute $3million between 15 libraries across the state. “The Torquay refurbishment will increase floor space by almost 150 square metres to make more room for collections, Internet terminals and community activities, like story time for children,� Wynne said. “This upgrade will greatly enhance the library’s role in

the community, and is an excellent example of how the government is working with councils and library services to renew public infrastructure for the benefit of local communities.� State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, welcomed the $200,000 grant. “This fantastic refurbishment will mean a bigger, better library with improved resources for the local community,� he said. “It’s an exciting project and further proof of the government’s commitment to providing communities with the facilities they need.�

Securing the future of Bells SURF Coast Shire has adopted a comprehensive coastal management plan that will preserve and foster the social, economic and environmental value of the Bells Beach Surfing Reserve. The Bells Beach Coastal Management Plan and Masterplan, which have been adopted after an extensive community consultation process, includes an estimated $3.8million in upgrades to ageing infrastructure at the reserve. This includes toilet facilities, with council already investigating connecting current facilities to Barwon Water’s sewer network to help cope with demand. The plan also earmarks a second toilet to be built at the Winkipop Car Park, which would also be connected to the sewer network. The Coastal Management Plan will have no impact on the beach or the surfing break, while a third car park initially proposed in draft plans to manage increasing number of tourist buses has been removed. A licensing scheme and a quota system to control the number, timing and behaviour of commercial tour operators using the reserve will also be introduced. Fees generated from this scheme would be put back into the management of the reserve. Other elements of the plan include: • Employing a dedicated reserve ranger to address pests and weeds, traffic

management, litter, illegal camping and other activities that cause environmental damage at the reserve* Addressing stormwater issues through the installation of rubbish baskets in existing stormwater pits and constructing a garden near the hammerhead car park to reduce the force of stormwater flows and subsequent erosion • Improving pedestrian access and safety throughout the site including building additional viewing areas and pathways at the Winkipop carpark • Infrastructure to reduce set-up time for the Rip Curl Pro Following community consultation, it has also been determined that buses over seven metres in length will be excluded from the Bells Beach recreation area. Shire mayor, Libby Coker, said the plan had been developed over the past two years with the guidance of the Bells Beach Advisory Committee and with extensive community input. “This is a plan for the future of one of Australia’s most important places,” Coker said. “Council has recognised that the management of the reserve needs a significant boost and these plans address important infrastructure requirements that are vital to the reserve’s future.”

Former Lorne Postmaster John Schmidt and Mayor Libby Coker unveil the foundation stone.

History returned to Lorne AN important piece of Lorne’s history was returned last week with the unveiling of the original Lorne Post Office foundation stone on Mountjoy Parade. Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, unveiled the stone, which has been placed near its original location outside the Cumberland Resort. The foundation stone was laid near what is now the Cumberland Resort on November 9, 1888 by then member for Polwarth, Charles Lamond Forrest. The post office replaced a temporary office at Erskine House. Coker said the stone made an important addition to the revitalised Mountjoy Parade streetscape. “The Lorne Post Office’s opening in 1888 was

an important day for Lorne and the whole Shire of Winchelsea,” she said. “It’s great that we’ve been able to include this piece of Lorne’s rich and proud history as part of the new Mountjoy Parade streetscape.” Coker paid tribute to the efforts of community members, the Lorne Business and Tourism Association, Lorne Community Association and the Mountjoy Parade Streetscape Working Group; which were all involved in helping to secure the placement of the foundation stone. “The efforts of many in Lorne to help return the stone to Mountjoy Parade are to be commended,” she said.

Lorne’s festival weekend BY ELEANOR WOODS A DIVERSE line-up of films will feature at the 44th Annual Film Festival Weekend in Lorne. Organiser, Faye Broberg, from the Moggs Creek Moving Clickers film society, is gearing up for the event, to be held at Lorne Theatre on October 8, 9 and 10. “We are very excited about this year’s festival. It is always such a great event. Everyone has a blast,� she said. Throughout the festival, an array of films will be screened at the historic cinema on Friday night, throughout Saturday and Sunday morning. “The films we have chosen this year are great; an

eclectic mix of very engaging stories,� Broberg said. “We try to get away from the widely exposed American films that are successful in the box office and screen great films that often go quietly unnoticed - diverse, multicultural films that offer different ideas and perspectives.� The films include Nowhere Boy, the story of troubled teenaged John Lennon, pre-Beatles, The Aura, an Argentinian suspense story, The Eclipse, an Irish ghostly thriller, and Easy Virtue, a glamorous 1920s romp. The Australian comedy classic The Road to Nhill will also be on offer, as well as a comedic flick from Kiwi lesbian social activists The Topp Twins. Dappled in between the seven film screenings are

opportunities for cinematic enthusiasts to engage in movie analysis or simply share a coffee or glass of wine. “The films become a type of social glue,� Broberg said. A free pizza and wine night following Friday’s screening kicks off the social calls, followed on Saturday evening with the ‘famous’ film fanatics cocktail party and a complimentary bangers and burgers barbecue on the Sunday afternoon. Included in the $85 festival ticket price is entry to all screenings and social events. Students pay only $50 and Moving Clickers members get $10 off.

Planet Days a success

State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield (front left), joined Rip Curl employees and local volunteers last week.

RIP CURL’S Planet Days last week saw more than 15,000 trees planted between Point Impossible and Point Addis. The 11th annual planting day – held in conjunction with Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network and local environmental groups – has been hailed a major success. While the project is more than a decade old, this year was the first time a financial contribution had been made by the State Government. Coastcare Victoria Community

Grants Programme, through Caring for Our Country, contributed $53,000 to Surf Coast and Inland Plains Network, while Rip Curl is providing an in kind contribution of $25,000. Throughout the two days, nine sites were prepared for revegetation while another nine sites were identified for weed and rabbit control and planting. Through this unique partnership approach between local volunteers and Rip Curl employees, land managers and State and federal governments, the coast will see enormous benefits.

Students get hands on FRESHWATER Creek Steiner School students are putting their woodworking skills to the test. The students have taken on a project of boat building. Under the guidance and watchful eye of experienced woodworkers, John Kersten, the students are building a minnow sailing dinghy out of plywood using the ‘stitch and glue’ boat building method. The school said the project is a way of helping the children to experience things “real” by allowing them to use their senses in smelling, feeling, hearing, seeing and touching. “Woodwork allows them to explore in three dimensions whilst stressing the importance of introducing tools and explaining the safety rules, and purposes of each,” said teacher Eva Kersten. “The planning and building process is more important than the finished product, as it is the woodworking itself that, despite being extremely simple, builds and enhances self-esteem, causes a sense of accomplishment, and creates social skills,

creativity, and physical abilities that may not be experienced elsewhere.” Eva said the project highlights the differences that it makes in the development of social, educational, and physical skills of a child’s development that most primary school children throughout Australia and the world are currently going without. “Focusing on things such as the development of problem solving skills, self-image, the student’s creativity, cultural heritage, and social skills we believe that there are certain things that can be learnt only by getting away from the classroom setting and constructing something of lasting value with your own hands,” she said. Harrison Brown, Amy Lavelle and Caitlan Hannah get to work on the boat.

Learning to survive

Ready for Tomorrow is the Victorian Government’s $631 million blueprint to protect and strengthen our regional and rural way of life, now and for future generations. The blueprint includes: $110m for Skills & Young People $99m Backing Jobs & Industry $204m for Regional Infrastructure $158m Supporting the Regional & Rural Way of Life $59m New Planning Partnership

INTERNATIONAL survival expert, Bob Cooper, will be bringing his skills to the Surf Coast when he hosts a weekend Wilderness Survival Course at the Anglesea Recreation Camp. The camp, to be held this Saturday and Sunday, will teach people the basics of how to survive in the wilderness on minimal resources. “Whenever we expose ourselves to the great outdoors, to adventure, the possibility for a survival scenario exists,” said Cooper. “Any one of a number of factors such as weather changes, equipment loss or failure, vehicle breakdowns, injury or illness can conspire to change our carefully crafted plan into a potential tragedy. “The only thing certain is that nothing is certain.” Born in and based in Perth, Cooper runs award-winning courses for beginners through to more seasoned survivalists and said applying knowledge with a clear head means you might well save your life or prevent a mishap from turning into a tragedy. “One of the by-products of the course is that you learn all about yourself,” said Cooper, who has been teaching survival skills for decades and has worked with everyone from F18 pilots to primary school children as well as hundreds of the general public interested in survival. “If this is something someone doesn’t think they can do and they conquer it, they begin to wonder about what else they can achieve. “In some cases it has had very profound effects on people and they have totally changed their lives with the skills they have learnt.” Cooper’s weekend will include learning skills such as the psychology of fear, map reading, avoiding toxic vegetation, edible and medicinal plants, snake awareness, water procurement and management, navigation by the sun and stars and alternative fire-lighting techniques. He said the five priorities are: water, warmth, signals, shelter and food. “So whether you are lost in the Blue Mountains, South Africa, South Australia or South America, the same strategies apply,” he said. “If you can stop, control your thoughts and react as a survivalist then you can choose what to do first.” While men have outnumbered women on most of his courses, Cooper said the number of women is growing because they are now more determined to learn how to save themselves in an emergency situation, rather than leaving it in the hands of someone else. “Women who come to my course want to know the truth about how to take care of themselves and their family, rather than hoping their companion knows,” he said. “Knowledge dispels fear – a very old saying which holds true.” For more information about Cooper and the Victorian Wilderness Survival Course, visit www.bobcoopersurvival.com

Geelong toy run gathers pace THE ANNUAL Geelong Toy Run is gearing up for another year of spreading festive cheer. The 18th annual event provides toys, cash and non-perishable food to residents throughout the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong. This year, the charities benefiting from the Toy Run include Cottage by The Sea, Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward, Bethany Family Services and Queenscliff Volunteer Coast Guard. Last year over $20,000 was raised and given to Cottage by The Sea and Bethany Family Services. Co-ordinated by Geelong Harley Owners Group, the 1,100-strong group of bike riders once again will start the toy run from the Harley-Davidson

dealership in Mercer Street on Sunday, December 12 at 10.30am. From there they will make their way to Portarlington (a collection point) by 11am and finally on to Queenscliff Foreshore Park (final collection point) by noon. The park will play host to barbecues, raffles, and a huge variety of bikes of all different makes, sizes and types, from Harleys to Hondas, choppers, racers and trail bikes. And if you don’t ride it doesn’t matter. Everyone is invited to come along and enjoy the festivities. You can also help out by cheering on the bikes from any vantage point along the route, dropping

your donation off into one of the collection points or to the fire truck and Ford van following the Toy Run, or by joining the fun at Queenscliff Foreshore Park, which starts at midday and finishes at 3pm. The Geelong Harley Owners Group wants the Toy Run to make a real difference this Christmas 2010 to those kids less fortunate than most. “Come on and help make it a Merry Christmas for the kids,� says Wiskaz, one of the local Harley riders. “It isn’t hard to donate a new toy, a tin of Christmas pudding or a gold coin. Just pop your donation into Geelong Harley Davidson, or come and join us at Queenscliff and donate there.�

Community concert for all AIREYS Inlet will host a Community Variety Concert at the community hall this Friday night. The concert, which will start at 7.30pm will showcase the wealth of talent that is on show along the Surf Coast. The event is the brainchild of a group of people from the Uniting Church, and is being held “for no better reason than to bring people in the community together for an evening of entertainment and frivolity�. Concert organiser, Mary Bremner, said some groups, including a 10-strong men’s choir, had been in intensive rehearsal for months. “We have cast our net along the Surf Coast to put together our programme and have some excellent instrumentalists lined up, along with some performance poetry and skits,� she said. “It will be a great evening for the whole family and the perfect way to fill the gap left after the finish of the football season.� A gold coin donation will be accepted on entry, which will be donated to the victims of floods in Pakistan.

The men’s choir (from left) Colin Arthur, Lachlan Richardson, Keith Bremner, Ray Wood and David Thompson tone up their voices under the guidance of Joan Richardson.

Here’s a chance to make your voice heard Dear Editor, The Surf Coast Community & Ratepayers Association has, for some years, been an important voice of the people, in trying to get the best possible results for the people of the Surf Coast. In these uncertain times of where we are going in the future we need a voice. Unfortunately, while I have been president, the organisation has been in decline. This may be due to my management style and so I have decided to resign as president. At our annual general meeting we were unable to get office bearers and we cannot continue until we get volunteers for these positions. It is important that the ratepayers of the Surf Coast have a voice and it is disappointing that we cannot keep going. One meeting a month does not seem to be an onerous task for such an important undertaking, however, we need committed people to take office as these people are our engine room. If you have any interest in where we are going as a shire, you need to be involved – the association needs you.

Dear Editor Where does one start in responding to the unremitting awfulness of Kathy Scanlon and Gary Welsh’s letter last week? In the interests of brevity I will focus on only one aspect of their frightening diatribe. How fortunate that people with such a finely honed sense of morality exist. They leave us in no doubt as to their feelings about what happened to the kangaroo. However, I wonder if Kathy and Gary extend their moral outrage to the routine violence, torture and misery inflicted on less fortunate animals – like cows, chickens and pigs on factory farms. Not to mention rabbits and mice in scientific research. Do they also condemn abattoir workers and scientists for their “calculated, senseless and sickening act(s) of cruelty”? Kathy and Gary, now that we know how disgusted you are at the treatment of the kangaroo, can we expect you now to crusade against the atrocities perpetrated against thousands of creatures

every day on our factory farms? Surely these creatures are no less deserving of respect than kangaroos? If you think you are absolved of any responsibility to these brutalised animals, I invite you to view a short video called Meet your Meat. You’ll find it on the net. I find the breathtaking arrogance, moral superiority and hypocrisy of Kathy Scanlon and Gary Welsh, and others of their ilk, profoundly disturbing. If these people represent the next generation, god help us. Michael Linde Torquay

Government drives Barwon Health into crisis Dear Editor, The Brumby Government’s own hospitals report released recently proves that Barwon Health is in crisis, and the Geelong Hospital has been neglected by Labor for more than 11 years. It is appalling that thousands of patients across the state are left waiting for treatment, many in pain, while John Brumby and Labor continue to neglect Victorian health care in the Geelong region. The recent hospitals report reveals that during the first six months of this year, Geelong Hospital failed to meet seven out of eight benchmarks. Statistics reported for the period from January to June 2010 show that 29 per cent of Category 2 emergency department patients were not treated within the required time of 10 minutes and 39 per cent of Category 3 urgent emergency department patients were not treated within the benchmark of 30 minutes. Additionally, 2,094 patients were on the elective surgery waiting list as at June 2010. I am very concerned about the serious problems at Geelong Hospital and the impact on patients. I would therefore be interested to hear the stories of patients who have had long waits for treatment or other problems. I can be contacted on telephone 9888 6244 or by email at david.davis@parliament. vic.gov.au David Davis Shadow Minister for Health

Red Cross creating history for centenary Dear Editor, Red Cross is about to publish a book to celebrate the centenary of Red Cross in Australia in 2014 and we would like as many people as possible to share their personal stories about how Red Cross has touched their lives. The book will be written by historian Associate Professor, Melanie Oppenheimer, from the School of Humanities at the University of New England. Associate Professor Oppenheimer has a number of significant books to her credit including Australian Women and War (2008) commissioned by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and All Work. No Pay. Australian Civilian Volunteers in War (2003). The Australian Branch of Red Cross was established in 1914, by the wife of the Governor General, Lady Helen Munro Ferguson who turned the ballroom of Government House into a workshop for Red Cross relief efforts during World War I. Almost one hundred years later, in the wake of the Victorian bushfires we saw the same spirit of volunteerism alive and well in Red Cross, as volunteers from around Australia came forward to help feed evacuees, provide emotional support, reconnect families and raise tens of millions of dollars for the Bushfire Appeal. In addition to writing the history of Red Cross, we are also hosting the General Assembly and Council of Delegates meetings of the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in November 2013. We will launch the Centenary History and our wider Centenary Year celebrations during the General Assembly. The opportunity to host these prestigious meetings is not only significant for Red Cross in Australia but for Red Cross Societies throughout the Asia Pacific. To find out more about the Red Cross Centenary Year or to tell your personal story about Red Cross go to the Red Cross website at www.redcross.org. au or send an email to centenary2014@redcross. org.au Robert Tickner Chief Executive Officer Australian Red Cross

Fish and chips are back on the menu BY LAURA DUKE TORQUAY’S Gilbert Street fish and chip shop is back better than ever! After being forced to close on February 5 this year due to fire gutting the shop, the long-standing business has reopened its doors, much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. “The local support since we reopened has been amazing, I’m just overwhelmed,” said owner Jim Tsiantas (pictured right). For the past 10 years Tsiantas has run the Gilbert Street store, and while he admitted it was tough seeing the shop boarded up earlier this year, he was always going to back as soon as possible. “My family were a great support, and also praise

to the staff who have stuck by me through these seven months,” he said. “The rebuilding was a long haul… very stressful and painful. A few problems beyond my control pushed the opening date back two months, which was frustrating, but I’m just so glad to be back open now.” Always one to remain positive, Tsiantas made the best of a bad situation when the shop was closed. “It was exciting to fit out the shop the way I wanted,” he said. “And another positive was that I got to spend more time with my wife and 11-month-old daughter, Milena.” Torquay Fish and Chips is located at 34 Gilbert Street and is open seven days from 10am, phone 5261 3423.

Escape the beach with a local farm tour BY LAURA DUKE WHILE the Surf Coast is famous for its surf culture, it is easily overlooked that a large portion of surrounding land is used for farming – a fact Torquay Landcare Group is trying to raise awareness of. Their most recent venture is a series of ‘Farm Tours’ that aim to help educate and provide valuable information to local farmers about the best methods for their areas. Funded by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA) and The

L P P

Department of Primary Industry (DPI), the tours are organised by the Torquay Landcare Group, for members, associates and local farmers. Group president, Rhonda Bunbury, said basically what happens is that “a busload of locals set out to a farming destination to see what can be learned”. Many of these landowners reside in areas in the Torquay hinterland, including Freshwater Creek, Mt Duneed, Bellbrae, Paraparap, Connewarre and Mount Moriac. The tours have been held in Bellbrae, Meredith and Rokewood, with another one coming up in Werribee. Murray Johns and his family have been farming

in the area for more than 40 years. He is a Torquay Landcare group member and facilitator of the tours. Johns said one of the aims of the tours was to promote sustainable farming systems, and to get local farmers together to share ideas and methods. The Bellbrae tour was held on a Sunday afternoon and consisted of about 35 people, with Johns saying “everyone seemed to gain a lot from it”. For more information on the tours or the Torquay Landcare Group, phone Rhonda Bunbury on 5261 6609 or 0428 374 610.

Toast to the coast THE NINTH Toast to the Coast Festival has been launched, with the ever-popular weekend just over a month away. To be held on the weekend prior to Melbourne Cup – October 30 and 31 – the festival celebrates the region’s fine produce and wine. The City of Greater Geelong has been long time supporters of the Toast to the Coast Festival and this year the City of Greater Geelong Mayor, John Mitchell, welcomed the festivities – which brought 12,000 people to the region last year. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for both visitors and locals to sample the cool climate prestige wines our region is famous for,” Mitchell said.

Mount’s mighty makeover BY NATHAN HALE IT’S A well-worn cliché that country pubs are a place where you will find hearty meals, friendly service and a good selection of cold beers. That cliche, however, sits just fine with the staff at the Mount Inn. Following a $3million makeover courtesy of the new management, the Mount Inn – located just outside Mount Moriac on the corner of Hendy Main Road and the Princes Highway – is one of the Surf Coast’s best kept secrets. While the inn may be easily visible as it sits overlooking the highway, it’s what’s behind the doors where the secrets lie. No longer just a small watering hole where you could grab a cold beer and not much else, the new-look inn has undergone a refurbishment of impressive proportions. From the moment you walk into the main bar, you have the option of heading to the newly installed TAB, settling down in a comfy couch in the sports bar, or just pulling up a stool at the bar. If you’d prefer to enjoy a spot of spring sunshine, the beer garden – situated just off the main bar – is equipped with a separate bar, and if the weather gets a bit cool at night, there are electric heaters and an open wood fire to keep you warm. Families have not been forgotten, either, with the children having a playroom to themselves – complete with flat screen television. The room sits right off the bistro, and has monitors inside, which screen through televisions into the bistro, so you can keep an eye on the youngsters as they play. The inn also has a new function room, which can cater for up to 80 guests and is ideal for any celebration – from sporting presentation nights to anniversaries and birthday parties. Situated just 10 minutes from Waurn Ponds and 20 minutes from Torquay, the Mount Inn has everything you want from a country pub.

Remember when… THE LAST time they served a meal at the Mount Inn, Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister, Think Big won the Melbourne Cup and the average weekly wage for an Aussie male was $133. Thankfully, some things change! Bart Cummings, however, is still saddling up Melbourne Cup winners – and the Mount Inn is serving food again. That’s right, for the first time since 1974 the inn is plating up food in it’s new bistro, which has the capacity to seat 120 people. From 12pm lunch is served seven days

a week, while dinner kicks off from 6pm every night. And from this weekend, the inn will be dishing up breakfast from 9am every Sunday. The bistro does exactly what you would expect from a country pub; serves up all your favourites such as chicken parmigiana, crumbed calamari, fish and chips, pasta and steak. The bistro has proven popular, so bookings are encouraged – especially on weekends. To make a booking, phone the Mount Inn on 5266 1372.

Experience and Expertise to find the right shoe for you! Specifically at The Running Company you’ll experience: • FREE digital gait analysis • Sports medical trained staff who are also local runners • Leading brands with a wide selection of racing flats • FREE Tuesday night run club – meet at store at 5:45pm for a 6:00pm start • Guest medical and industry experts to offer FREE advice and answer your questions • Community minded with 1% of all sales going to 1 of 3 charities – you choose who!

Rudd drives local business both a manual method and an automatic machine. They also fold and package everything on site. “We’ll try to push the envelope and get it done, even if we’re working 24 hours a day,” Boulton said

BY LAURA DUKE PROPAGANDA has long been something of an institution in Torquay, with owner Peter Rudd first opening the screen printing business in 1987. At the time, Rudd had five children and was a teacher, and he knew he needed to look at other work options to help feed his growing family. So he asked friend and founder of Quiksilver, John Law, what Torquay needed – and the screen printing business was born. Now a father of seven, Rudd has built the business up and it has done printing for many big brands over the years, including Quiksilver, Rip Curl, Kookai, Billabong, and Ghanda, which is owned by his son, Josh. The business has also done a lot of printing for community events such as the Pier to Pub swim in Lorne and the Danger 1000 swim in Torquay.

in regard to clients’ needs. And Rudd laughed that they were usually the only ones open at that time in Torquay and “we’d be up for the graveyard shift and the police would stop past for a cup of tea”. There have been many shop moves in the 23 years of business, with Propaganda starting out in what is now the Sujin Thai building, moving to what is now Rojo, and finally settling in their current location in Beach Road. “The Rudd family is still very much alive and well in Torquay and we just want to keep the relationships we’ve built with people over the years,” he said. “We’re happy to be here still servicing all the Torquay customers – through all the generations.” Propaganda is located at 87 Beach Road, Torquay. For more information, contact the team on 5261 4783.

Rudd sold the business to Quiksilver in 2006, although he continued to run and manage it, and now that Quiksilver has decided to stop screen printing, he is buying the business back. But he stresses that there is no animosity. “Quiksilver has been very good over the years in supporting my local business, and it has also been a very integral part in the growth of my business,” Rudd said. He said that while the sale to Quiksilver was great, he is glad to have the business back, and now that Quiksilver is no longer the priority, the business will have more time to service other customers better. Long time staff member, Tracey Boulton, said Propaganda can cater for any customer, whether they just want one product, or thousands. The business does all kinds of textile printing; from t-shirts to sampling for companies, using

Anyone fancy a game of cricket? THE ARRIVAL of spring has the region’s over 60 years cricketers getting ready for their second season in the Victorian Over Sixties Cricket Association. “By the end of last season we had around 21 players,� said captain Bernard Clancy, who like many of his team-mates, comes from the Surf Coast and happily travels to Geelong to train and play. “We’d really like to build on that number this year, so we’re putting the call out to anyone who might have turned 60 over winter, or anyone already 60 who missed out hearing about us last year. “You speak to any of the blokes who played last summer and they loved it. “We were competitive on the field, very social and enjoyable off it. “I think most people saw playing cricket at this stage in their lives as a celebration of both the game and their longevity.�

The Geelong Over 60s side won most of their games last year, including the inaugural match against Casey-South Melbourne on picturesque Stinton Oval. “The first time we all started urging each other to ‘go Catters’ out on the field, there was this great realisation we were playing for Gee long,� Clancy said. “I think everyone lifted from that moment to make sure that we would win our first game. “It is really important in our second season that we have the ability to maintain that standard and that means recruiting new players, especially from among those people who have just qualified. “After all, none of us are getting any younger!� To find out more about playing Over 60s cricket for Geelong, including practice details, phone 5243 6847.

‰ — ˜ Baby boomers in Geelong are part of the growing national trend to delay retirement beyond the age 65 - but they should be using this time to put in place the strategies to make this extra income go further when they do eventually retire.

Helping make local seniors mobile TELSTRA is providing free hands-on mobile phone tutorials to local senior citizens aged over 60 at the Telstra Store in Geelong and at stores across the state, coinciding with Victorian Seniors Week. Seniors Week will be celebrated from October 3-10, and Telstra is looking to help connect those who might struggle with the latest technology. Telstra acting general manager, Lloyd Morley, said the Telstra Connected Seniors sessions were designed to help local seniors get the most out of their mobile phone and stay connected with their families, friends and the world around them. “While some seniors can send picture messages to loved ones, others lack confidence doing simpler tasks like adding a contact,� he said. “We all learn at our own pace, and in our own way, so we’re encouraging seniors to head to a Telstra store during Seniors Week, and enjoy handson advice from experienced Telstra staff.� The tutorials will be available throughout Seniors Week in 20 participating Telstra stores from 9am11am daily. The free sessions will teach seniors how to send an SMS, take and send photos, store important contact details for emergencies and address any questions seniors have about their specific mobile phone. “While in-store, seniors can also enjoy a demonstration of the EasyTouch Discovery 2 handset, which has been specifically designed for our older customers,� Morley said. “It features a larger screen for easy reading, big buttons for easy typing, clear audio and hearing aid compatibility for easier hearing. Plus, it comes with a how-to DVD for ongoing easy support.� Telstra Connected Seniors is a national programme designed to help older Australians learn about new technologies.

Since the programme’s inception in 2007, Telstra has delivered face-face workshops to assist over 65,000 older Australians feel a sense of accomplishment by getting online and using their mobile phones as well as many more via online training support.

BY ALISON MARTIN A GROUP of local International Harvester enthusiasts are now sharing their passion for the classic farming manufacturer with more than 1,650 people worldwide. Farmers who have driven IH tractors or trucks for many years, restorers who enjoy returning the Australian-made rural icons to their former glory and former employees who are proud of the legendary farm machinery they built, are among the growing number of members in the International Harvester Club of Australia. Drysdale’s Ron Medson had worked for the IH company at its Geelong factory for more than 25 years until its “sad demise” in 1982, when he joined around 600 employees – including Bellarine and Surf Coast residents – who lost their jobs. The company’s history dates back to 1912 when the IH Company of Australia was formed, growing steadily through the Depression of the 1930s until it opened the doors of its Geelong manufacturing plant on May 22, 1939. More than 210 workers were employed from day one to make agricultural equipment, before the company diversified production to manufactured war equipment components for six years during World War II. International Harvester’s Geelong plant returned to its agricultural focus at the end of the war and expanded production to include cultivation drills

and header harvesters. Medson said in 1947 the company doubled the size of the plant for mass production of tractors, trucks and power units, continuing to develop through until the 1970s when systems became more computerised and staff numbers started to decline. By the 1980s, production was cut back and workers began being laid off. Medson had been loyal and supportive of the company, winning a global award for cost saving and other accolades, and has gone on to present many historical addresses on the company to local groups. “In 2003 I became president and founder of the International Harvester Club of Australia, which now boasts a membership of more than 1,650 people

in six different countries,” he said. Medson started producing a club newsletter, Inter View, in 2002, which is distributed to more than 700 members. Drysdale resident and retired Wimmera farmer, Bruce Chapman, is one of those many members who has enjoyed spending his retirement restoring an IH truck and tractors. He has two IH tractors in the shed, which he displays to local shows and events, but his pride and joy is a 1951 AL 160 International truck which he believes was built at the Geelong plant. The International Harvester Club will have a display of its machinery and vehicles at the 2010 Geelong Show next month and more club information is available online at www.ihaustralia.com

Make the most of your water time BY LAURA DUKE

Dive into summer BY SARAH LAWRENCE IF THE thought of diving into your own back yard pool on a sweltering hot summer’s day tempts you, then Narellan Pools Geelong can help. Local owners Stefan and Emma Tamassy have cemented their reputation as one the region’s best pool companies. Stefan is a multi award-winning and fully qualified pool builder. He has been installing fibreglass pools throughout Victoria for more than 20 years. Over the last eight years, the business has won numerous awards for their high-quality pools. This year they won

Franchisee of the Year Award for 2010 for Most Outstanding Franchise Business in Australia for the Narellan Pools chain, as well as building the 2010 Pool of the Year. “It was a fantastic reward for our entire team – who each day take pride in what they do,� said Stefan. “With over 20 years knowledge and experience, we will project manage your pool from the first phone call to the final handover.� Each pool and spa package with Narellan Pools is tailored to suit the customer’s budget and personal requirements. “Our aim is to provide each client with the perfect pool solution for their backyard

and lifestyle needs,� Stefan said. “We are available for an on-site consultation to discuss your project at your convenience. “Our local construction office is located in south Geelong, where you can come and discuss your project and varying options available and view folios of all our work and accreditations within the industry.� Narellan Pools Geelong provides a complete range of services including sales, construction and advice on landscaping and fencing.

KAYAKS and Kampers is run by Neil and Lyn May and is the one-stop shop for all you’re kayaking and camping needs. The couple is big fans of the outdoors, and opened the business in Geelong five years ago after falling in love with the Hobie kayaks they specialise in. “We bought a couple of these kayaks and loved them so much we decided to open a franchise,� said Neil. Kayaks and Kampers is the only Hobie dealership this side of Melbourne and mostly service the west coast of Victoria, as well as some of the north, but, as Neil said, they are happy to “sell kayaks to people all over the place� The shop boasts a full showroom of kayaking and outdoor accessories as well as a full range of stand up paddle boards and other recreational products. “We pretty much stock the

full monty, really,� Neil said. And they can rig the kayak for all sorts of add-ons, and are able to add everything from fishing rod holders to lights to fish at night to an electric motor. They are also dealers for Cavalier campers – ‘Australia’s number one camper’. What really sets Kayaks and Kampers apart, however, is their ‘try before you buy’ option. “When customers aren’t sure if they want this one or that one, we can just load up the trailer and take a few down to the water for them to try,� Neil said. They also hold demo days at Eastern Beach or the Barwon River, however, a trial can be arranged at any time by appointment so the customer can find what product suits them best. Kayaks and Kampers is located at 1/28 Wood Street, south Geelong. For more information, drop into the store, phone 5221 8500 or visit www. kayaksandkampers.com.au

Keep safe this summer provide quality programmes in ideal learning conditions of warm, salt-chlorinated pools, for all ages, beginning with babies from four months of age through to adult. Infant and toddler programmes help even the very young understand and respect the dangers of the water. They offer them emergency skills, such as back floating, submerging and coming back to the top of the water, and reaching for and grasping the edge, appropriate entries and exits into and out of the water. All these skills lead to age and developmentally appropriate swimming lessons, that may save their lives and make for an enjoyable and safe experience, in and around the water. A quality learn-to-swim programme at school age builds children’s skills and confidence and eventually helps keep them safer in the water. Children, however, need regular and on-going exposure to positive experiences in and around the water, if they are to master skills.

aquatic based activities, whether for fitness, therapy, or fun. Geelong Aquatic Centre, located at 3 Bridge

Keep the lessons regular

SUMMER is fast approaching and now is the time to ensure your child is safe around water. Unfortunately, this is the time that it is easy to become complacent about water safety and our children – as they are the most precious resource – they are not a material thing that can be replaced. Keeping them safe requires multiple layers of protection – constant eyes or supervision, strong swimming and survival skills and reliable pool security systems. The more layers of safety, the less likely a child is to drown. It is essential to keep your eyes – not just your ears – on young children and toddlers at all times around any amount of water.

You need to establish non-negotiable water safety rules around the house and all aquatic environments for children of all ages. For every drowning death, approximately six children or toddlers are admitted to hospital as a result of an immersion accident.

Teaching children to swim

Have your children taught to swim at a reputable swim school that allows you to view lessons before enrolment and has a sequential programme that educates the children in swimming and water safety skills, not just entertains them. Debbie and Geoff Gill at Geelong Aquatic Centre

Continuous lessons, particularly in young children whose long-term skill retention and muscle memory are just beginning to develop, enables them to build on existing skills. They need to learn until they can confidently swim at least 400 metres using a variety of strokes. Children who are happy and confident in the water, will always be able to think themselves out of difficult situations and will be in the position to most quickly, safely and enjoyably learn to swim. Many areas of a child’s development, including academic performance, maths, language, fine motor and gross motor skills, confidence and coordination, will improve with consistent swimming. Swimming offers one of the best activities for good health with a minimal risk of injury. It is a lifetime skill which opens the door to a variety of

Report highlights need for safety THE ROYAL Life Saving 2010 National Drowning Report has shown that the number of drowning deaths is the highest for the last seven years. In releasing the report last week, Royal Life Saving said it was deeply alarmed to see the number of drowning deaths continue to increase, with 314 recorded in Australian waterways between July 1 2009 and June 30 2010. Royal Life Saving chief executive officer, Rob Bradley, said following on from the previous year – where the number of drowning deaths jumped by 16 per cent – there’s now been another increase, which may point to an alarming upward trend in drowning deaths. In the past two years the number of people drowning in Australia has increased by close to 21 per cent – which follows a period of time where the number of drowning deaths was steadily dropping. Rob Bradley said this year’s drowning statistics highlight a range of issues where solutions are urgently required to reduce drowning in line with the Australian Water Safety Council’s goal of a 50 per cent reduction by the year 2020. Bradley said that a range of strategies have to be funded and implemented by government, by organisations such as Royal Life Saving and by the community in order to make a real impact. “We are staggered and very concerned by the increase in

drowning deaths and the reversal of the long-term downward trend,” he said. “We remain absolutely committed to driving national efforts to reduce drowning. We are committed to a co-ordinated and targeted approach to prevent drowning in communities across Australia. “We will continue to work closely with governments, organisations, the community and the corporate sector to address this alarming situation.” Royal Life Saving said children – particularly those under five years – are the most vulnerable to drowning. They highlight that child drowning is preventable and that the Royal Life Saving Keep Watch Programme offers critical actions to highlight that close constant and focused supervision is important plus restricting children’s access to water; water awareness and ensuring people have up-to-date resuscitation skills. “Drowning rises steeply as children become more independent, and participate in more high risk activities such as swimming in rivers, dams and at the beach,” said Lifesaving Victorian general manager, Guy Britt. “Royal life Saving calls for greater emphasis on building strong skills in swimming, lifesaving and drowning prevention skills during schooling to prepare youth for the risks associated with swimming, boating, fishing in rivers, dams and the ocean.”

New Leisurelink centre proves a hit GEELONG’S new $31million Leisurelink Aquatic and Recreation Centre is proving popular with local families. Since its opening just weeks ago, already more than 30,000 people have flocked to the new centre. “The new Leisurelink is going gangbusters,” City of Greater Geelong Mayor, John Mitchell, said. “The centre has had around 30,000 visits since its opening two weeks ago. We’ve signed up an extra 1,000 members, we have up to 2,000 kids enrolled in learn to swim for term four and daily visitations are about double that of the old centre. “Plus we’ve got the capacity to accommodate

many more people. “It’s fantastic to have so many kids and families making the most of this state-of-the-art facility. The community has truly embraced it. “The staff have done a brilliant job in quickly adapting to all the changes that come with the transition to a new centre.” Mitchell said the centre was also proving a haven for school holiday-makers. “Day one of the school holidays was really busy – the pools were the place to be for kids and teenagers,” he said. “We had grandparents bringing their grandchildren in, toddlers splashing around in their

pool – the whole centre was full of activity. “The best part of the 50-metre pool is that it can be divided into two 25-metre pools so that we can easily accommodate lap swimmers and aqua aerobics as well as those just wanting to have a dip. “Just wait until the water park opens next month. We’re planning a free family fun day to launch the major waterslides, kids’ adventure park and the little kids’ splash pad. “We’re expecting the summer school holidays to be huge. “If you build it, they will come – and they certainly have.”

PLANNING Minister Justin Madden and Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, Maxine Morand, have urged Victorians to ‘Check Your Deck’, as well as fences around pools and spas before firing up the barbecue, socialising or swimming. Madden said the weekend’s AFL grand final was the unofficial launch of Victoria’s barbecue season and it was the right time for people to check their decks, pool fences and barbecues to ensure everything was in safe, working order. “Barbecue season marks the end of winter and with the warmer weather on its way we need turn our minds to safety,” Madden said. “A fall from an unsafe deck, a tragic drowning or burns from bad gas connections is not the way anyone wants their gathering to end but statistically these accidents are more likely to occur between October and March. “These unfortunate and potentially lifethreatening outcomes can be avoided with a quick safety check to make sure decks are safe, pool gates close properly and gas barbecues are connected properly.” Madden said any balcony or deck had the potential, if not appropriately maintained, to fail at some stage which was why the Building Commission ran the ‘Check Your Deck’ campaign. “A fall from a deck or balcony can result in serious head and spinal injuries,” he said.

The Gordon is tops in the state

Sales guru makes his mark FRANK Romano made his presence felt at Torquay’s Crowne Plaza recently, when he gave valuable insights to the decision makers of the Surf Coast’s leading businesses. Romano was in town to provide a peek into his worldrenowned Precision Selling Workshop Series. Surf Coast residents are fortunate that the programme will commence in Torquay at the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, October 14. For business owners, sales managers and sales teams of all sizes, the Precision Selling Workshop Series is a step away from conventional ‘sales training’, with a focus on understanding the individuality of each individual buyer. Romano believes being a great salesperson is to understand the art and science of influence – and that is what he teaches and this is what excited guests at the breakfast. “It’s just incredible that we get to have a speaker and educator of his calibre in our region… the kinds of businesses he usually works with are massive. This is just such a great opportunity,” said well-known local businessman, Mark Casey. Romano engaged, engrossed and captivated the audience with his forward thinking ideas and proven concepts for making the front line sales teams of businesses strive for better results and, most importantly, deliver them. The monthly course, spanning nine half-day modules, will delve a little deeper and equip sales people with the skills Romano has bestowed upon international brands and sales teams such as Nike, Emirates Airline, Mercedes-Benz, Reece Plumbing and Nintendo to name a few. At the Surf Coast Times we are excited to be able to endorse this fantastic opportunity to equip the businesses of the region to be better and make the most of the increased opportunity that summer presents us. It’s not too late to be a part of this very special opportunity to have you or your sales team educated by one of the best. If you would like to learn more about the montlhy workshop series conducted by Frank Romano, phone Claire Bingley at Secrets From the Top on 03 9596 9982 or 0438 899 468 or email claire@secretsfromthetop.com.au

THE GORDON has been announced the number one training provider in the state. The Geelong-based education provider was awarded the prestigious award in front of 1,000 guests at the annual Victorian Training Awards held at Crown Casino in Melbourne recently. The win marks a significant milestone towards The Gordon’s vision of being the number one TAFE Institute in Australia by the end of the year, and will see them compete in the Australian Training Awards later this year. “This is a fantastic achievement for The Gordon and congratulations to all staff for their commitment and support,” said The Gordon chief executive officer, Grant Sutherland. “Thanks also to our education and business partners and in particular the Geelong community for their wonderful support.” The award was open to all large training providers in Victoria. The judging panel assessed The Gordon as number one against set criteria in 2010, recognising the magnitude of positive change undertaken in recent years. The criteria included demonstrated performance as a leader in vocational education and training, customer focus, robust strategic and operational plans to achieve organisation vision, strong partnerships and the organisation’s strategies to develop and ensure the wellbeing of staff. “Students now have an increasing range of options in vocational education and training, and being recognised by an external assessment as the best reinforces that The Gordon is the first choice,” Sutherland said.

New home builds continue to rise Off-the-plan deposits stay at 10 per cent THE REIV has welcomed last week’s decision by the Victorian Parliament to retain 10 per cent as the maximum deposit for off-the-plan sales. The decision followed a debate initiated by the government to increase the maximum deposit from 10 to 20 per cent. The REIV believed that such a move was unnecessary for two reasons. Firstly, there was no evidence that such a change was required to stimulate construction; after all, Melbourne has a rapidly growing population and an overall shortage of homes. Responding to the underlying shortage of homes should be sufficient to encourage more homes to be constructed. Secondly, such a move would run contrary to the state’s desire to increase housing supply by offering substantial incentives to first home buyers of new homes. Most buyers and any first home buyer will agree that 20 per cent is a large sum of money to have up front. For instance, a median-priced unit or apartment is currently $463,215 and this change would equate to a deposit of $92,643. The additional problem is that as the purchaser is denied access to this money until such time as the development is delivered or fails. This can sometimes take a few years, which is a long time to have the funds tied up. There is no doubt that most first home buyers have a substantial problem raising a 10 per cent deposit, let alone a 20 per cent deposit; as all home buyers are familiar with the 10 per cent deposit, they will welcome its staying at that level.

VICTORIA’S 20 largest builders saw a jump in the number of new homes built in 2009/10, with Simonds Group ranked Victoria’s largest residential builder. The HIA-COLORBOND® steel Housing 100 report shows Victoria’s top 20 builders constructed 17,490 homes in 2009/10 compared with 12,755 homes in 2008/09. The top 20 also gained market share, increasing it from 32 per cent in 2008/09 to 33 per cent in 2009/10. Overall, new dwelling starts in Victoria are expected to increase by 27 per cent in 2009/10 to 53,520 (from 41,818 in 2008/09). Simonds Group took over as Victoria’s largest builder, with 2,376 homes built. Metricon Homes followed behind closely with 2,335 homes built. It fell from the top spot in Victoria, but still remains Australia’s third largest builder. Porter Davis Homes was Victoria’s third largest builder with 1,564 homes built. HIA’s Victorian executive director, Gil King, said the State Government’s first home buyer boost for new homes had helped increase housing starts. “It is very pleasing to see the regional grants for new homes encouraged more people to build in 2009/10,” King said. “But with interest rates on the rise, we need new incentives to help first home buyers and increase housing supply generally. “HIA has proposed a raft of policies leading up to the Victorian election, including reducing housing taxes and infrastructure levies that push up the cost of new homes. “HIA would like to see the current incentives for first home buyers buying new homes continue beyond June 30, 2011.

Local talent on show BY NATHAN HALE

TICKET GIVEAWAY

ANGLESEA’S inaugural music festival will showcase some of the best local talent on offer. More than 80 acts have been confirmed for the festival, which is expected to draw thousands of people to town for the three days, starting from Friday, October 8. Festival organiser, Karren Stoneham, said unlike some other events, the Anglesea extravaganza will concentrate on promoting local artists and up-and-coming talent. “That is the unique thing about our festival,â€? Stoneham said. “We are showcasing the best of the talent that is in our backyard. What you will be seeing is today’s young talent which could be tomorrow’s headliners.â€? Stoneham said acts such as The Rustys, The Underhanded, Revolver & Sun and Almacknjack had already proved themselves as talented young outfits. Couple these outstanding young bands with experienced and proven performers such as Tiffany Eckhardt, Chris Wilson, Red Whyte and Wendy Stapleton and the weekend is one not to be missed. Kicking off from 7pm on October 8, the festival will be packed with something from everyone. The entertainment will be featured at five main venues – the Marquee, Anglesea Hotel, Sea Eyes CafĂŠ, the Hall and the

Uniting Church. These venues will be supported by a number of fringe venues, including Angahook CafĂŠ and Store, The Red Till, Furios and the Anglesea Golf Club. On Saturday, the Uniting Church will be used for a number of workshops. Tiffany Eckhardt will lead a songwriting workshop; Chris Wilson will teach the finer points of playing the harmonica; there will be a ekulele workshop as well as a gospel singing workshop. “We have been lucky that people like Tiffany and Chris are happy to provide their time to run these workshops, which will be a great insight for everyone,â€? Stoneham said. “With the gospel singing workshop, those who attend on the Saturday will be taught the finer points and then on the Sunday morning they will appear on the Marquee stage to perform.â€? Already, well over half of the ticket allocation has been sold, and with less than two weeks to go Stoneham is expecting ticket sales to continue to grow at a rapid rate. “There has been a fantastic response,â€? Stoneham said. “We have been really happy with the sales and with the support shown from the public‌ it is going to be a great weekend of music and festivities.â€? For more information, visit www. angleseamusicfest.com

WIN FREE TICKETS THE SURF Coast Times and Bellarine Times have teamed up with the Anglesea Music Festival to give away two double passes for the huge weekend.

The passes – valued at more than $140 for the pair – will provide access to all three days of the festival.

Competition closes 5pm Monday, October 4, with winners notified that evening by email.

NICELY spiced – a very desirable state indeed during these brisk evenings as we slide through spring – seeking the more sultry nights of summer that are not too far off now. It’s still chilly enough to seek out warming foods, and as my new spice tin* sits proudly by the stove, my thoughts turn to curry hot pots with rice and pappadums. I’m tempted, even when not cooking, to peel back the lid and wallow in the aromatic and visual feast that greets me. What a beautiful gift from my dear next door neighbours, who recently enjoyed a trip to India. This shiny metal tin with its colourful contents is the real McCoy! They managed to bring back several of these, plus other souvenirs, without attracting an excess baggage bill! So swathed in the Pashmina, I scurried off to my cookbooks to see what dishes I could create from the strange small, dull yellow ‘things’ in one of the tin’s compartments. They looked like mini bananas? Ooh‌ what were they? Looking just like the miniature ‘imitation’ fruits and vegetables you can find in the mock-silk-flowers shops, I had never come across turmeric fingers before. Of course, I’ve cooked with turmeric lots of times, but now I am more informed I shall share my new-found knowledge with you. Turmeric is a rhizome of the ginger family and the

WELL I’LL BE SPICED‌ NICELY, THAT IS!

orange-yellow spice is a mainstay of curry powders. Often it is called Indian saffron, but you should never confuse or interchange this ingredient with true saffron. Saffron is arguably the most expensive spice – but justifiably so – as it is obtained by drying the stamens of the saffron crocus. You can appreciate what a labourintensive harvest this must be! Beware of cheap saffron – in ground or powdered form – it is more than likely safflower or ‘bastard saffron’, as it looks similar, imparts colour, but does not have the wonderful perfume of the thread-like strands of real saffron. Saffron is used more extensively in northern India than anywhere else in Asia – or so my neighbours told me. Their trip to India was part culinary cooking school tour; they would visit the lively markets, buy produce and return to their digs at night to cook up a feast using local ingredients. So naturally their fervour for all things Indian has caught on in our household as well, with wafts of curries between our two houses now. Returning to the turmeric, the ground variety is one of the many spices that make up a tandoori mix. There are many blends available commercially, however, if you wish to make you own. Charmaine Solomon comes to the rescue with this recipe.

LIVE ENTERTAINMENT IN THE BAR FROM 9PM

MEALS AVAILABLE LUNCH & DINNER 7 DAYS A WEEK

TANDOORI MIX Ingredients 2 tsps turmeric 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garam masala 1 /2 tsp chilli powder 1 /2 tsp ground cardamom 1 /2 tsp garlic Dash of canola oil

METHOD Mix together the turmeric, paprika, garam masala, chilli powder and ground cardamom. You can add powdered garlic – but my preference is to introduce this ingredient by using the fresh garlic when you cook with the tandoori paste. Combine the dry spices with a little safflower or canola oil and use this paste to spice up fish, beef, lamb or chicken – a generous coating onto any of these will add great flavor to the summer barbecue. Tandoori, of course, takes its name from the tandoor (clay oven) in which spiced chicken is cooked, threaded on very long skewers, and lowered into the shapely oven which is fueled with white hot coals. The addition of some fresh ginger to the paste, and side dishes of rice, a minted yoghurt riata and a leafy green salad will make a super supper on a spring night. So, go spice yourself, nicely, of course. *No need to go to India for the authentic Indian spice tins, as I have seen them in some local cookware specialist shops.

Theatre on the coast SURF Coast and Bellarine audiences will be treated to fine theatre performances next month when Le Jardin De Ma Mere visits the region. The play is a joint Brown Fairthorne Theatre Projects and Geelong Repertory Theatre Company production, with performances in Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Queenscliff. Le Jardin De Ma Mere will premiere at Furios in Anglesea, this Saturday from 7pm before venturing to Truffles at Aireys Inlet on Sunday and then to Queenscliff for the final performance on October 17. Following the warm response from Surf Coast audiences earlier this year, Brown Fairthorne Theatre Projects were only to happy to be able to bring Le Jardin De Ma Mere to the region. “We’re looking forward to bringing our new show to the Surf Coast,” said playwright Janet Brown. “This show is a treat for women. It’s an adaptation of a story the famous French writer, Colette, wrote about her mother, her French provincial childhood and her love of nature and gardening. “It will be another great night out for adult theatre lovers and foodies alike, but it has a very ‘feminine’ sensibility, so it’s particularly for women.” After the success of their first show, Small Bites, earlier this year, Brown and Sandy Fairthorne looked to the Surf Coast and Bellarine to provide

Unlock this new label… a theatre experience mixed with fine dining. “I’m delighted that Furios at Anglesea and Truffles at Aireys Inlet will again host our show for one very special performance at their restaurants,” Brown said. The Furios performance starts at 7pm on Saturday, with tickets $50, which includes the show and a two-course meal; bookings are essential, phone 5263 3616. Sunday’s Truffles show starts at 12.30pm, with tickets $40, which includes the show and a twocourse meal, tea and coffee; bookings are essential, phone 5289 7402. The Apostle will host the Queenscliff show on Sunday, October 17 at 12pm, with tickets $55, which includes the show, a two-course Frenchthemed meal, tea and coffee; bookings are essential, phone 5258 3097.

MOPPITY Vineyards is a relative newcomer to the Australian wine scene. However, the initial vines have been around since 1973 and owners Jason and Alecia Brown have a background in fine wine retailing. They also have an appreciation for cool-climate viticulture that has seen their label catching on as one of the exciting ‘wineries to watch’ at the moment. Located in the cool, high altitude ‘Hilltops’ wine region near Young in New South Wales, with an established 170-acre vineyard at their fingertips, the couple have certainly hit the ground running since their first release won Top Gold Medal at the prestigious London International Wine & Spirit Competition with their 2006 Moppity Vineyards Reserve Shiraz. Since then, the accolades have kept coming, which is all good and no doubt deserving, but in relation to this article, it’s the entry level ‘Lock & Key’ range that grabbed my attention. The whole range screamed “outstanding value for money” right from the very first taste and is deserving of high praise… all three wines featured below over-deliver on quality, character and complexity. I guess now the secret’s out…

Moppity ‘Lock & Key’ Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2008 ($15) Think premium cool-climate fruit sourced from the Tumbarumba district at the base of the Snowy Mountains, a region that is emerging as one of the country’s premium Chardonnay producers. This is an elegant wine with lovely fullness of melon and stone fruit flavours and a dash of nutty complexity from the toasty French oak that plays only a minor supporting role, allowing the restrained citrus tones to balance out the rest of the wine. This is incredible value for money drinking with a delicious creamy mouth feel and a long, lengthy finish.

Cool-climate Shiraz is/can be a beautiful thing. Think loads of vibrant, juicy black fruits, and a dash of white pepper/spicy complexity, key attributes that this wine holds in abundance. While not a ‘heavy’ wine as such, more medium bodied in style, it still captures your attention via the lovely weight and balance on the palate ensuring a fine, slightly savoury finish.

Moppity ‘Lock & Key’ Hilltops Merlot 2009 ($15) Deliciously soft, rounded, fruit driven Merlot that is surprisingly full bodied and plumper than expected. The richness of the dark berry fruits and the suppleness of the tannins make this pretty good value considering the price, as not many other Merlots on the market are anywhere near the quality and character of this wine… definitely an eye opener.

This year artists will exhibit more than 300 new artworks in a variety of media, including botanical art, drawing/

The Birregurra Art Show is renowned among buyers for its ‘quality at an affordable price’ and all exhibited works will be for sale from Friday night until Sunday afternoon.

Brothers in arms Tuesday 28 September 2010

BY LAURA DUKE

THE BROTHERS with different surnames, Reg Mombassa and Peter O’Doherty, are looking forward to heading our way with their band, Dog Trumpet, next month. As part of a three-day tour to promote their latest album, River of Flowers, the band will be performing one gig in Ocean Grove on Saturday, October 9 and one in Deans Marsh the following day. Reg said “we’re looking forward to coming down there, it should be fun”. The brothers were original members of Mental as Anything, and contributed to many Mentals album songs, including Berserk Warriors, Egypt, Brain Brain, Apocalypso, and many more. The pair released their first album for Dog Trumpet in 1991 and left the Mentals by the end of the 1990s to focus on Dog Trumpet and their careers as visual artists. River of Flowers is the result of three years writing and recording by the brothers, and is “a reflection on childhood and growing up”. Reg said the words ‘River of Flowers’ aren’t actually in any of the songs in the album, but actually came from a poem he wrote about his mother, and “we just picked that name out of it”. They describe themselves as “eclectic purveyors of percussive psychedelic folk, country, semi-abstract

blues and lyrical pop” and say that the music on River of Flowers “is almost like opening a family photo album”, with sounds evoking Irish folk, jug band and rock and roll. Often playing only as a duo, this time they have the whole band together and will be supported by Melbourne artist Lisa Miller, who actually recommended the venues to the band. “We have a reciprocal arrangement, and we’re often the support act for her when she comes to Sydney,” said Reg. “We played in Ocean Grove with the Mentals, but haven’t been there for over 10 years”. “We really enjoyed the drive to Apollo Bay last time, it’s a very beautiful part of the world.” Dog Trumpet will be playing on Saturday, October 9 at the Piping Hot Chicken Shop in Ocean Grove, starting at 8pm and on Sunday, October 10 at Martian’s Café in Deans Marsh from 2pm.

WIN CD Giveaway THE SURF Coast Times and Bellarine Times have five copies of Dog Trumpet’s latest CD, River of Flowers, to give away. For your chance to win one of the CDs, simply email editor@surfcoasttimes.com. au with the words ‘Dog Trumpet’ in the

subject line. Please ensure you include your name and full mailing address with your entry. The competition closes at 5pm Tuesday, October 5, with winners notified by email the following day.

Volatile times – weathering the storm MARKET volatility is not new. Consider the Australian All Ordinaries Index losing 43% in 2008 and rebounding in 2009 by 33%. Why do markets experience bouts of volatility which exceed that justified by fundamental information flow? Experience tells us that investors have a tendency to act irrationally. Emotions such as fear and greed can get in the way of good decision making. A distinctive feature of market psychology is the ‘herd’ instinct, that is, if others believe, it is safe also to believe.

Volatility and investment options Risk and return are a trade-off with investing. If you are too aggressive you may risk losing your investment value and you may never recover this value in your lifetime. On the other hand, if you are too risk averse, you may not build sufficient capital growth required to generate enough income in your retirement. Top strategies in volatile times Diversification is the key to enhancing performance while at the same time reducing volatility in the overall portfolio. You can reduce portfolio risk by diversifying: • across asset classes • across investment styles within asset classes • across managers within the different investment styles Education To help explain volatility and investing fundamentals. To achieve long term growth

you may need to experience volatility in the short term. As long as the correct investment option is chosen you can ride out the bumps.

Time in the market rather than timing the market The key is to get the mix of assets right to meet your long term goals. There is little evidence to suggest that picking the right asset class at a certain time will add value. Over the last 10 years, Australian Equities, Australian Listed Property and International Fixed Interest assets classes have all had the highest return for one year. It is impossible to pick. Capital protected strategies Investors approaching retirement need to continue to hold some growth assets to build their savings. They may however be uncomfortable with the prospect of capital losses in volatile environments. Capital protected strategies can be utilised to give you peace of mind, whilst still giving you exposure to any market upside. Dollar cost averaging This is a strategy where investments are made at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. It helps to remove the emotion from investment decisions, making it easier to stick to a long term investment plan. Rebalancing Left alone, portfolios may drift outside desired asset class and investment manager ranges, especially in volatile times. Your portfolio may

no longer meet your needs in terms of risk and return. Rebalancing at regular intervals ensures the portfolios’ risk and return profile is retained. If you would like to explore the above strategies in more detail, please contact your financial adviser or Hugh Sutterby at Geelong Financial Group on 5261 6530.

The Confidence Con

GLOSSING over bad data in the hope that in time things right themselves has been a pervasive global theme in recent times. The US government has taken this art form to a new level – hide the insolvency of the US banking system in the hope that house prices recover, bank capital recuperates and noone need ever know there was a problem. A similar situation is occurring with European sovereign debt. In essence the can is being kicked down the road in the hope that a recovery is “down the road”. Unfortunately, the relied upon recovery still hasn’t arrived and doesn’t look like arriving anytime soon. A fascinating insight into the Australian government’s “glossing over the data” emerged this week. On Friday, advice to the incoming government from treasury, known as the red book, was made public. The red book is not often released and in fact was only released by treasury due to an unprecedented number of freedom of information requests. It is not,

however, complete freedom of information as sections of the document have been blacked out. The following paragraph was originally blacked out but subsequently made available: “Highly indebted households, together with high dwelling prices, further heighten the vulnerability of the economy to shocks. While household finances are in good shape overall, and arrears rates and other financial stress measures remain much lower than in the early 1990s, households are more exposed than previously to adverse shocks”. Why on earth was it blacked out in the first place? For the same reason the Commonwealth Bank fudged its housing data; for the same reason the Reserve Bank never publicly acknowledges house prices are too high; for the same reason the government obfuscates – confidence. It is this “confidence” that governments around the world understand is needed for economies to grow.

Spring back into shape HOORAY! Spring is here and summer is fast approaching! So what a perfect time to get outdoors and kickstart your exercise regime safely with your new baby? Your body has just undergone extraordinary changes and you need extraordinary attention for safety and long term health – so why not book into innerstrength Physiotherapy Jan Juc Mother and Baby Physiotherapy Outdoor Training for a free trial class. Rachel Baulch is an experienced physiotherapist, mum and keen netballer and coach, who can teach you how to do pelvic floor and core exercises properly and show you what exercises to avoid after having a baby. She will help you safely transition back into previous exercise without any further damage to your body. Start now and enjoy the benefits of exercise – feel good, look good, regain strength, increase your energy and improve your sleep. The classes run Fridays at 9.30am at the Jan Juc playground. Groups are small, ensuring your

exercise technique is correct and individual goals can be worked on. You can bring your baby along in the pram and toddlers are welcome to come and play while you exercise. Other mums who have done the Jan Juc Mother and Baby outdoor training tell us they enjoyed being able to bring and involve their baby in exercise, and that the exercises are progressed and varied but simple enough to be able to do at home on a regular basis. It is a welcoming and fun atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the benefits of the outdoors, exercise, and socialise with other mums.

Top 10 tips for new mums

• Fit exercise into your day – little bits often • Mother and baby tummy time – it is great for your back • Aim to do your pelvic floor exercises daily. Find a trigger to help you remember (when you are sitting to feed, before you get out of bed) • Brace your pelvic floor and deep abdominals before lifting anything

Getting kids to eat vegetables

• Take some time out to relax, breathe deeply, and stretch every day – you deserve it • Avoid taking more weight on one side of your body (eg. when standing keep your weight even on both legs) • Do not do sit ups! Come to our classes where a physiotherapist can show you appropriate abdominal and core exercises • Try to walk tall with your baby in the pram every day • Avoid high impact activities in the first six months following childbirth to allow your body time to heal. Work on core strength, pelvic floor and major muscle group strength prior to return to running • Book in for a one-on-one appointment with a women’s health physiotherapist at innerstrength if you have issues with your pelvic floor such as incontinence or pain. Do the right type of exercise to prevent these issues occurring.

ALMOST 50 per cent of families with children under the age of 15 find that their children’s eating habits are a key barrier against their household consuming more vegetables, a vegetable industry report has revealed. The findings, published in the Veginsights industry newsletter from AUSVEG, found that children’s likes and dislikes play an important role in household purchasing decisions and that parents need to continue to encourage their children to eat more vegetables. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution to address this problem as each family across Australia is different, however, there are several key factors that affect families buying vegetables,” said AUSVEG spokesperson, William Churchill. “A key issue preventing consumption of vegetables, is that children are resistant to consuming new foods, and therefore they need to develop taste for the food by trying it in small amounts, up to nine times.”

Expo helps to raise awareness about dementia DEMENTIA Awareness Week may only run for seven days, but the list of activities continues to run. As part of the week’s celebrations, the local Dementia Agency Network will host a Expo on Thursday, October 14, from 10am at the Geelong West Town Hall at 53 Pakington Street, Geelong. The expo, which is open to the public, is titled ‘Worried about your memory’ and will provide a

thorough information session about all aspects of dementia. Acting chief executive officer of Alzheimer’s Australia Victoria, Jack Sach, has urged people who are worried about their memory, or that of a loved one, to attend the expo, seek medical help or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. “It’s important that people who do have genuine concerns about their memory get help sooner

You can choose your own doctor and make an appointment today.

rather than later,” Sach said. “The symptoms may not be caused by dementia, but, if they are, timely diagnosis – that is getting a diagnosis as early as possible – is important in helping to get the right information, treatment and support. “It also gives people with a diagnosis of dementia an opportunity to plan ahead and make decisions about their future care and finances.

“Life does not stop with a diagnosis of dementia. People with a diagnosis of dementia can continue to lead a fulfilling and rewarding life and there is help and support available.” An estimated 257,000 Australians have dementia today. That is expected to soar to almost one million by 2050. For more information on the October 14 expo, phone 5229 6979 or for more information about Alzheimer’s, visit www.alzheimers.org.au

Making your 40s fabulous

Anglesea’s healthy living spin classes for women are changing the way women look at bike riding.

Spin your way to fitness BY SARAH LAWRENCE WHEN it comes to losing weight and keeping healthy, it’s all about the mindset, according to Anglesea’s Furio Rovere. His weekly women’s healthy living spin classes have become so popular over the past three years they are now starting a second night and inviting more locals to get involved. The classes are run on Tuesday and Thursday night from 6pm for an hour at Furio’s CafĂŠ in Anglesea, and cost just $10. “They get here at 6pm, a bit flat after work but once they get started and get a bit more energy, they’re like a pack of magpies and love to talk,â€? said Rovere. The well known Anglesea identity believes the biggest impact of the programme is on its participants’ mentality. “My conclusion on losing weight is you’ve

got to get their heads right,� he said. “In all my research, everyone knows the basics in what they shouldn’t eat and what they should do to exercise. But the hardest thing is committing the mind to something and wanting to go along every week.� The classes aim to cater for all levels of fitness rather than make participants feel uncomfortable and out of their depth. “There is no pain; it’s about starting some motion. We only work people to 50-70 per cent of their heart rate. “The point is not to stress any part of the physical being. It’s about strengthening the mind to go along and commit to something.� Cardiovascular exercise has many health benefits, including lowering your blood pressure and it can also burn lots of calories for those who want to lose weight. “The heart is the motor you’ve got to get in

good condition. I tell them, you can’t drive a Ford Explorer with a 2.5-litre motor,� Rovere said Rovere, along with the Anglesea Cycling and Coffee Club, is known for having a magic touch in helping many people change their lives for a healthier mindset. One of their members, Sandrina Langston, tipped the scales at 107 kilograms two years ago. But with the help of the cycling group and a change in diet, she now weighs 63kgs. She is also one of the most dedicated participants on Tuesday nights. Rovere has even convinced his wife to join the group. “She is my biggest convert. In the past she has found bike riding painful but she really enjoys the classes,� he said. For more information on the Healthy Living Spin Classes, phone Furio Rovere on 5263 3616.

THE JEAN Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health has joined with the Lorne Community Hospital, the Lorne and Airey’s Inlet Medical Practice, and the Lorne Figtree Community House, to make women’s health experts accessible to women along the coast. Women are invited to attend The Lorne Figtree Community House for a free health information seminar from 7pm to 9pm on Tuesday, October 19. This relaxed and informative event will encourage information sharing on some of the health issues experienced by women in their 40s, such as hormonal changes, libido and sleep issues, and will include easy-tounderstand preventive health strategies. Via DVD, Jean Hailes gynaecologist, Dr Elizabeth Farrell, sexual health physician, Dr Rosie King, and Dr John D’Arcy will provide women with the latest evidence-based information on some of the health issues that face women in their 40s. “Many women going through the perimenopause, or time prior to menopause, feel as if they are on a rollercoaster as they experience changes to their hormone levels, their periods and their emotions,� said Dr Farrell. “They are not necessarily expecting these changes and sometimes wonder if what they are experiencing is normal.� This perimenopause phase is unique for every woman and their symptoms will vary greatly. “Women need to be informed about this important time of their lives so that can enjoy their 40s and start to make plans for a healthy future,� she said. “This is a terrific opportunity for women to explore some of the health issues they may be facing and help them make important choices in their 40s to ensure their longterm health and wellbeing,� said Heather Ramp, health promotion co-ordinator at the Lorne Community Hospital. “After viewing the DVD, there will be an opportunity to meet local female health professionals, including local doctors, women’s health nurses, our new local gynaecologist, Dr Judith Fleming, as well as local female physiotherapist and counsellors. “We encourage women to come along to hear about the latest research from experts in the field and to be part of a free informative evening, share supper and conversation and have the chance to win a pampering door prize. “Donations will be gratefully received on the night for Lorne Figtree Playgroup and Occasional Care resources.� For further information and bookings, phone Lorne Community Hospital on 5289 4300.

QUAY LANDSCAPES AND LAWNS

A concrete dream

PETER Sheridan fell into concrete flooring – and it stuck. “Ten years ago I was a butcher in Apollo Bay and installed a new floor in my shop,� he said. “Business for floors just grew and grew and here we are today, 10 years later, working with some of the best technology on offer and producing amazing floors for residential and business properties of all kinds. “We absolutely love what we do. We specialise in high quality concrete grinding and coating and when you see what we can do you will be amazed.� Peter, and son, Mathew, run the business with motherdaughter duo, Sheron and Nicole, in administration. Two expert grinders, Richard and Josh complement the team – making a tight knit, highly qualified and

well trained crew. “Everyone cares and it shows. We push each other on quality and service and take it to the next level,� Peter said. The team creates dream concrete flooring, terrazzo floor grinding, the removal of resins, adhesives and tiles, specialised floor coatings and are licensed applicators of Artepox designer floors. “People can polish their existing concrete floor or they can choose from a range of colours and textures in a designer floor option,� Peter said. “We offer good advice free of charge and an exceptional alternative to floor boards and tiles.� To find out how Prestige Grinding can work magic on your floor, contact Peter on 0419 350 149.

Public Notices Water Act 1989 PROPOSED PERMANENT WATER SAVING MEASURES – NON-RESIDENTIAL WATER EFFICIENCY Barwon Water currently has in place a Permanent Water Saving Plan, which is developed at the local level and suitable for local conditions. This plan outlines a set of commonsense rules that target outdoor water usage that are designed to achieve long-term water efficiencies.

The Victorian Government now intends to further increase water efficiency in Victoria's non-residential sector by expanding the waterMAP program to include all industrial, commercial and institutional water customers that consume five million litres (ML) or more of drinking water per annum.

Entries will ONLY be received on Tuesday 5 October between 10am and 6 pm at TORQUAY CENTRAL, Bristol Rd, Torquay. Enquiries to Julie Dyer on 5261 0645 (Tues/Wed/Thurs) or jdyer@surfcoast.vicgov.au.

You are invited to submit your views on the proposed revisions to the Permanent Water Saving Plans, which are fully explained in Barwon Water's Permanent Water Saving Plan.

Upcoming Meetings Planning Committee Meeting Council Chamber, Torquay Council’s Planning Committee will meet on Monday 4 October 2010 in the Council Chambers, 25 Grossmans Road, Torquay; from 5:00pm. Applications on the agenda will include: 09/0551 – 23 Yandanah Road, Fairhaven 10/0167 – 72 Polwarth Road, Lorne 10/0070 – 12 Moorhouse Street, Lorne 10/0145 – 3/153 The Esplanade, Torquay The public is welcome to attend.

The Annual General Meeting of the Torquay Football Club (Torquay Cricket & Football Club Inc – Football Section) Will be held as follows:

Currently the plan outlines a key Permanent Water Saving Rule that all industrial, commercial and institutional water customers that consume 10 million litres (ML) or more of drinking water per annum must prepare, submit and report against a water management action plan (waterMAP) each year.

This key policy change will require the amendment of Barwon Water's current Permanent Water Saving Plan. Pursuant to section 170A (2) of the Water Act 1989, the Victorian Minister for Water has directed Barwon Water to review and submit the revised Permanent Water Saving Plan to the Minister for approval to reflect this policy change.

Parks Victoria advises‌

The Secretary Phillip Shaw Torquay Football Club

Fox Control – Great Otway National Park/Anglesea Heath Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values. As part of an ongoing strategy, notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 4 October 2010 until Sunday 5 December 2010. Baits will be laid at strategic sites within the heathy woodland of the Great Otway National Park and Anglesea Heath where foxes threaten fauna. These locations are within the parishes of Jan Juc and Wormbete. 1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parishes are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas. Operational details may be obtained from Frank Gleeson by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

Home beach highs and lows BY ELEANOR WOODS SURF Coast grommets earned some of their best and worst competition results in the recent national junior surfing competition, at Jan Juc Beach. More than 100 grommets from around the country went head to head at the Rip Curl GromSearch 2010, last week. Surfing conditions weren’t ideal but some good waves were stolen from messy onshore sets. Leading the Surf Coast pack was Jan Juc’s Zoe Clarke who won the Under 14 Girls division on Wednesday. “It was a pretty good result. I’m really happy,� she said, fresh from her win. The 13-year-old has proven herself a strong contender in her division and looked forward to a successful year of competition. Jan Juc’s Grace Day, also showed her skill and made-the-most of her home break advantage at the GromSearch Series event at Jan Juc, taking out the 12 years and under girls division. Unfortunately for Torquay’s Harrison Mann, conditions and bout of illness saw a less than ideal performance from the young surf star, who was tipped to win the Under 16 Boys competition. Knocked out in round two, he was clearly disappointed. “Yeah, it’s a real shame. I don’t know what happened,� he said. “I have been really sick in the last week and the wind was way more onshore than it looked.� Struggling on day one, Mann was lucky enough to advance to round two by placing second in his four man heat – with a relatively poor performance by his standards. During the competition, which ran from Tuesday to Thursday, the nation’s top young surfers shredded the cold, windswept one-metre waves with enthusiasm.

This Jan Juc event was the first of a string of premier grommet competitions which will be held around Australia in the coming months. The Rip Curl GromSearch series, which started in 1999, gives surfers aged 16 and under the opportunity to showcase their talent in a fun, competitive environment. Each of Australia’s surfing states score a spot on

the series calendar, with event dates predominately coinciding with school holidays to ensure grommets get a chance to surf an event in their own backyard. Rip Curl’s international events manager, Scott Hargreaves, said though conditions weren’t ideal the competition at Jan Juc was still a great week. “The series provides a fun environment for kids, while also giving them a taste of what competitive

surfing feels like,� he said. The GromSearch series now moves to Coffs Harbour in NSW and quite a few Victorian surfers are likely to head up chasing Australia’s only 16 year and under nationally rated series.

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB

WITH MARGOT SMITH

WELL I’m back from my brief escape to supposedly sunny Queensland, and judging from the state of the course this weekend the weather must have been much better here. I managed to get rain everyday – fortunately that did not impact activities. Isn’t it great to have the full 18 holes and hasn’t the course come up nicely – it should be fantastic for open week in two weeks time.

Midweek results The men played a 4BBB stableford event on Wednesday and the scores were sensational. Peter Wanless and John Brady were the winners with 50 points, with Barry Moore and Graeme Mills runners up with 49 points. Ron Evans and Peter Williams were third with 47 points and the NTPs were won by Con Keet, John Mooney, David Cook and Pete Griffiths. Thursday was individual par for the ladies. Judy Talbot won the div 1 competition for the third week in a row with 4 up. Janice Calvert had the best score for the day winning div 2 with 5 up and Lesley McMaster

won div 3 with 3 up on a countback from Irena Kapala. NTPs were Janice Pekin, Judy Talbot on 2 holes and Valda Connelly. Weekend competition The football colours were out in force for the grand final shotgun start. Janice Calvert used all the magpie luck early in the day with a 7 up win in the ladies event - that is 12 up in a week. Ann Stokes was runner up with 3 up. For the men, like the football we had a couple of ties, but we do have a system for working out the winner, and if there was a countback in the football then St Kilda would have been the winner. Back to golf and Scott Saunders won A grade with 4 up on a countback from Colin Foster, Cameron Jolly won B grade with 3 up, and Denis Croaker won a three way tie with 3 up in C grade, others were Matt Donkers and Ray Heathcote. NTPS were Gloria Hodgkisson, Valda Connelly, Denis Croaker and Calvin Robbins. Sunday was back to stableford and the conditions

were perfect for spring golf. Suellen Eskrigge made the most of it winning the women’s with 39 points, with bridesmaid Ann Stokes runner up with 38 points. Richard Grutzner had the best score of the day with 43 points winning C grade, Chris John won A grade with 39 points, and Peter Atherden’s win in B grade with 35 points didn’t get him a ball down the line – fortunately he did get a voucher and can buy his own. NTPs were Graeme Mills, Ann Stokes, Peter Sturton-Gill and Matt Ryan. Diary events Next Saturday is the qualifying rounds for the Chas Gibbs and the Ro Adcock/Barb black singles matchplay. I’m sure if there is any re-scheduling due to the football replay you will be advised – and in case not then make sure you’ve got an earlier tee time so you can watch the game. We have working bees scheduled for Tuesday, October 5 and Monday, October 11 between 9am and 11am, so if you’re not busy come along and help out.

FROM THE PRO SHOP

Men’s results THE MEN were confronted with nice weather on a Wednesday for a change, and the scoring reflected this with Shayne Hope handing in a brilliant score of 41pts clearly taking the B Grade honours. Luke Allen who recently returned from winning the Australian Interstate Colts Teams Series continued his good form scoring 39pts and winning the A grade section. NTP winners were Paul Schram on the 7th hole and Terry Beggs on the 17th hole. A shotgun start was held on Grand Final Day with a full field teeing off in the medley ambrose event. Despite their low handicap of 2¼ Rod Brooker and Dene Corboy teamed up perfectly to clearly win the days competition with a nett 61¾. Second place went to Cameron Gill and Glenn

Mifsud on 63½. Wes Bumpstead picked up the NTP on the 5th hole with the 7th hole going to Gavin Macrae. On the back nine Andrew Daffy hit a wonderful shot on the 13th hole, whilst the 17th was won by Peter Gray. Women’s results The women played par on Thursday, which was much to the liking of Gillian Connelly who won the day with a magnificent score of +6, just edging out Joan Anderson on +5. Thelma Dainton got the NTP on the 7th to go along with her score of +2, with the 13th hole going to newly joined member Marg Hales. Other News Deyen Lawson and Luke Allen both continued their

good form at the Portarlington Junior Masters, with Deyen Lawson winning the event for the 4th straight year. Luke Allen finished 5 shots back in 3rd position. Good luck to these two boys and also Craig Corker who will be representing the GDGA team at country week to be held at several courses across Melbourne this week. Ben Eccles spent the first week of his school holidays playing in the Victorian Boys Championships. Ben qualified 2nd in the under 16 section - just one shot short of qualifying for the under 18 class. The top eight players qualified for the match play part of the event with Ben going on to defeat his opponents and claim the 2010 under 16 Victorian under 16 Boys Championship. Big congratulations to Ben who has a very bright future ahead of him.

WITH CHRIS BARR

TRADITION is that on Grand Final Day, golf starts early so we can enjoy the footy and then the following week it’s all hands on deck to prepare for our open tournament. Plans are in disarray. Keep checking the website for the details for next Saturday’s play as the monthly medal is scheduled and you may be forced to choose between golf and footy for one week longer as the one day in September rolls into October. The draws for golf week will be out soon they also will up on the website. Much work has been done behind the scenes and thanks to our generous sponsors the trophy table is abundant. The rain predicted this week should freshen things, up and the forecast for next week looks good so all is in readiness for a great week. I hope you are ready to enjoy it. On Wednesday the men played a four person ambrose.

Winners were Geoff Lamont, Ross Forbes, Bruce Ditchburn and Andy Clarke with 51 3/8. The runners-up with 52 3/8 were Bob Manning, Greg Miller, Phil Brown and Greg Brimsmead. NTPs went to Ken Reddrop, John Richards Don Holmes and Geoff Lamont and Graeme Riches took home the jackpot. On the Grand Final Day Ray Edebone and Graham Gill won the 4BBB with 52 Geoff Lamont and John Barnes paired up to be runner-up. NTPs went to Rob Muffat, John Barnes, and Paul Brunt. The Saturday Girls also played a 4BBB Julie Rogers and Jill Chick were the winner. Marg Joyner and Lyn Moore shared the NTPs. From the women’s room It was a full field this week as we welcomed the girls from The Sands for the Annual Torquay-Sands Challenge trophy.

It was played in pleasant conditions with plenty of the infamous Torquay wind. (But both teams should be used to that) It was a chance to enjoy a game and renew friendships. The Sands took the inaugural trophy last year and in a tight battle Torquay held firm on the home course to be narrow winners for 2010. The Sands women’s captain Julie Bottomly graciously handed over the trophy but declared they would be out to regain it on their course next year. NTPs went to June Ball, Claire Downey and Lois Matthews. Rae Rayner (The Sands) won the jackpot. In div 4 Sue Murray was a narrow winner over Bernadette Oliver, Claire Fitzpatrick, took div 3 from Anne Denham. In div 2 a countback was need to separate Leslie Grebe and Lois Matthews, and in div 1 Jenny Cottrill had the better of Joye Burton.

New beach tractor FOR MANY years the St Leonards Yacht Club struggled to clear its ramp with a vintage Massey Ferguson tractor. However the club’s fundraising has enabled a new $18,000 Agricat FT304 4WD tractor to be bought and club member, Barry Halliday, has a

much easier task of keeping the ramp clear of sand. Yacht club registrar, Karen Reiter, said funds to purchase the great asset for the club had been made possible by the tireless efforts social club volunteers, generous donations from members and funds donated by the Bellarine Art Show.

“The club is looking forward to the season where all members can reap the benefit of this great addition and improved access for boat launching. We welcome all to come down to our club to have a look at our new tractor and enjoy a coffee or snack from our kiosk during the season,” she said.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:

BY GARRY KERR

AFTER the events of last week we have tried hard to make the government departments listen to our concerns and we have been advised that meetings will take place to see if those departments can find a way forward that will have a positive outcome. So, what is the cause? According to the EPA it is a natural process that occurs when heavy rains take place in the upper catchment areas which in turn washes down naturally occurring acid sulphate soils in turn affecting the PH Levels in the river. However, what the EPA fails to mention is that this process just does not happen instantly. It takes a build up of the acid in the river system over a period of time to cause these changes. Members of the Anglesea community are always contacting the Surf Coast Shire with the river constantly in flood trying to get the mouth opened. Both EPA and Fisheries have advised verbally that they agree that the system needs a good flush. Now all that is required is the determination of those departments to do the right thing and help fix our system. In the interim the EPA and Surf Coast Shire has put up signs on the banks of the river advising of the low Ph Levels in the river. Action needs to be taken to help minimise the impact of these predictable natural events as

seen by the number of times the same thing has happened over and over in this system in previous years. This is not the first time kills like this have occurred and it won’t be the last if appropriate management measures are not put in place to deal with this. This is the real reason the fish have died. For all those concerned fishermen who keep coming to my store and asking if it is okay to fish and if they catch a legal fish can they eat it the answer is simple. According to the EPA and shire, the only fish they say you can’t eat are the dead or dying fish. The low PH levels in affect mean that the fish have died as a result of the dissolved acid sulphate in the water which causes stress to both the fish and their environment. In effect, the fish have died as a result of their own environment and inconsistent management of said environment. Local businesses agree that if this problem is not resolved the flow on affect to tourism could be quite substantial, especially if another kill was to occur during our peak summer period. Local businesses would certainly have a right to complain and feel let down if this was to occur – let’s hope the government departments take this seriously and deal effectively with the problem this time around.
