Celebrating
BY ALISON MARTIN
MORE than $2million, 7,000 people and one of the biggest line-ups of quality, all-generational performers in Australia will hit the Bellarine this weekend.
The Queenscliff Music Festival will celebrate its 13th big year with some of the best entertainers in the industry and emerging artists who will offer their raw talent to an appreciative crowd of all ages.
The unique festival, however, is also a celebration of community and the dedication of the QMF organisers who have maintained the energy to create and build on the events success.
A core group of about 60 organisers, supported by another 400 volunteers, have worked all year to bring together the eclectic mix of performers for three days of the nationally-acclaimed, family-friendly festival.
For the QMF team, preparing for the major Bellarine event is a 12-month passion, with plans already being made for next year well before the first musician hits the stage for 2009.
QMF director, Barbara Moss, believes the festival has evolved into a widely-respected national music event because of the overall vision.
Some festivals are pretty much about the headliners, but this is about music diversity; the fabric of the line-up, and the town the entire weekend experience, Moss said.
We have a unique demographic Its an adult contemporary festival but family
friendly, with entertainment that is enjoyed across the generations.
And so much of what we do is about discovery; our emerging artists are an important part of what makes us different.
Queenscliff is about preserving the family environment, so our ticketing is based on keeping it this way.
The QMF organisers also take a proactive approach to festival management.
We are, like other festivals, conscious of issues relating to public safety and actively work with police, the Borough of Queenscliffe and the local community to address these, Moss said.
The police praise our event and theres not a big drug culture associated with our event.
Were not a youth fest but we are a music lovers festival for everyone.
The Queenscliff Music Festival programme, featuring Tim Finn, Little Birdy, The Original Wailers, Marcia Hines, Djan Djan, The Badloves, Dan Sultan, The Veils, Whitley, and Bertie Blackman and many more talented performers, is available at www.qmf.net.au
Tickets are available for one the Bellarines biggest weekends; online or at the event, with organisers reminding the community to support the iconic festival.
We dont want local people to take it for granted. We have a stunning line-up and we want people have to come and enjoy it, Moss said.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the gate or online at www.qmf.net.au

Collendina Recreation Reserve redevelopment nearing completionThe facilities at Collendina Recreation Reserve are in the final stages of a major upgrade.
The clubrooms have undergone a significant transformation, and new change rooms have been installed for both home and away teams and umpires.
The works to the clubhouse have created an open plan area that incorporates a kitchen and an internal toilet for people with disabilities.
The redevelopment will provide great benefits for home teams Collendina Cricket Club and Ocean Grove/Collendina Junior Football Club.
The redevelopment, which has been fundedby the City of Greater Geelong, has beenmanaged by the club and included lots of volunteer labour.
New cross-coastal bus serviceSoon people will be able to catch public transport between Ocean Grove and Torquay without detouring via Geelong.
Weve been working with McHarrys and the Department of Transport, and have come up with a new service that will be trialed this summer.
The service connects the Queenscliff Ferry with Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay, Jan Juc and links to the Lorne V/Line bus.
The trial will run from December 19 to January 31. For timetable information, go to www.mcharrys.com.au or phone 5223 2111.
Ocean Grove Barwon Heads free shuttle busTo alleviate traffic and parking pressures for locals and visitors to the Bellarine, we will once
again be funding the Ocean GroveBarwon Heads free shuttle bus. The bus will run daily from 10am to 6pm, eight times per day, from December 26, 2009 to January 25, 2010.
First stop is the Ocean Grove Post Office and then Collendina, Ocean Grove Marketplace, Wallington Rd and back to the Post Office. The bus then goes to Barwon Heads via Ocean Grove Main beach, stopping at Sheepwash Rd, River Parade, Carr St and Hitchcock Ave, before going back to Ocean Grove.
A shuttle bus sign is attached to regular bus stop poles. The shuttle bus will tow a trailer that can carry surfboards, bikes etc.
Coming up at the Potato ShedWest Australian folk rock performer Carus Thompson will play his first Victorian show in more than a year when he headlines the Crash Course Productions all-ages gig at the Potato Shed on December 4 at 6.30pm.
Carus will team up True Believers Jason McGann and Andrew Fry with new musical acts Greg Arnold and Andrew Darling for the gig. All tickets are $10.

WORK on the $1million, three-stage project to revamp the Point Richards boat ramp, west of Portarlington, has started.
Bellarine Bayside chief executive, Tim Page-Walker, said the first two stages, including a sheltering rock groyne and a dredged channel through the shallows into deep water, began last week and were expected to be completed before Christmas.
Stage three involves the construction of a new, four-lane concrete ramp and central jetty and will begin after the long weekend in March next year.
Page-Walker said the rock groyne would extend about 100 metres into the bay and rise about 1.5 metres above sea level, with a pathway along the top.
But its main purpose is to catch sand that moves east to west in the longshore current, he said.
This will preserve the beach area in front of the car
park and sailing club and stop silting of the dredged channel.
The idea is to create a channel depth of minus 1.2 metres from the ramp out to that water depth in the bay. This will cater for most trailers and recreational craft.
The dredging is expected to begin with a few weeks, using cutter-suction dredging with all the spoil piped back to shore and used to build up the existing beach.
There will be no dumping of any dredged material at sea and any acidity will be treated with builders lime so that it presents no problems ashore, Page-Walker said.
The boat ramp will be replaced with pre-fabricated sections installed on piles driven into the waters edge to prevent any undercutting action by the tides.
The existing jetty will be retained on the western side of the ramp with a second and third lane added to enable boats to tie up on both sides.

GOVERNMENT documents predicting rising sea levels have sparked more calls for the proposed Stockland residential development at Point Lonsdale to be reconsidered.
Point Lonsdale Civic Association chair, Barney Orchard, said the release of reports warning of the flooding in the low-lying Point Lonsdale site should make Planning Minister Justin Madden rethink the planning application.
It all screams dont go ahead given what we now know, he said.
There have been some very recent significant reports by government departments involved with climate change and they are preaching caution and forecasting extreme risk in that area.
The Stockland proposal for a 760-lot canal development has been approved by City of Greater Geelong and supported to date by the state government, but Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, only approved work on three stages and until water quality modeling and extensive monitoring are completed, no further approval is envisaged.
The application has now gone back to the state government for the final stamp of approval.
But the association believes Madden should take into account the recent climate change documents before making his decision.
Climate Change and Water Minister, Penny Wong, released the Climate Change Risks to Australias Coasts report this month, including mapping of residential buildings at risk from climate change.
Point Lonsdale is one of the coastal communities which is vulnerable to impacts, such as sea inundation and erosion. The report estimates that nationally, between 157,000 to 247,600 existing residential buildings will be at risk from sea inundation by 2100, under a sea-level rise scenario of 1.1 metres.
Supporting the federal document has been mapping by the Department of Sustainability and Environment detailing the impact of sea level changes of up to two metres on Point Lonsdale.
In addition, Orchard said the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority had prepared a report at the request of the Borough of Queenscliffe which stated the low lying areas of Point Lonsdale were at extreme risk of flooding, and that building on filled land, as proposed by Stockland, was unacceptable.
After years of protest against the size and the environmentally sensitive location of the development, Orchard said the fears of the community were now being realised by government authorities.
The time to do something about it is now, before anything is built and people put their money into homes. The authorities need to go back and get this right, he said.
Ramp project under wayPoint Richards boat ramp and jetty will be upgraded as part of a $1million project.

LAST year, Point Lonsdale artist Deb Brearley thought the town would lose its iconic Moonah trees and she needed to start documenting them on canvas for future generations.
Twelve months later, Brearleys collection of paintings, The Moonahs, are on exhibition in Point Lonsdale and the community has received the news that a majority of the native coastal trees will be saved.
A comprehensive assessment of the trees is Queenscliffs and Point Lonsdales public parks which include the towns seasonal camping grounds resulted in the Borough of Queenscliffes tree management, removal and replacement strategy.
The strategy involves the removal of high risk cypress trees and some Moonahs, which began earlier this month, and the planting of more trees.
The consulting aborists looked at the health and public risk profiles of 86 old, large trees, including some cypress which had since lost limbs or fallen in strong winds and required immediate attention.
However, Brearley had fought to save the Moonahs, which were a different tree to the cypress and did not pose the same risk.
She said after a long battle, and the support of the borough, only one Moonah would be removed from Point Lonsdales Royal Park, which is a victory for the community and the environment.
Brearleys The Moonahs exhibition will remain at Kelp, Point Lonsdale, until December 13.
Iconic exhibitionat Point Lonsdale
Deb Brearley has painted Point Lonsdale and Queenscliffs Moonahs, to document the iconic trees.
THE BARWON Heads Community Arts Garden will host a discussion group this Sunday to encourage the development of a local sustainability network.
The group aims to encourage sustainable gardening, either at the community garden or at home, as well as community initiatives.
The group will explore ideas from other communities, including Drysdales produce swap meet and support for local residents who are interested in growing their own vegetables.
The community garden will be promoted to those interested in permaculture and there will
be a range of opportunities for local residents to become involved in Barwon Heads sustainability.
BHCAG president, Faye Connors, said previous sustainability discussion groups had been well attended and welcomed new community members to attend this weeks meeting.
The community garden was established to provide health, social and educational benefits, while enriching the urban environmental and using under-utilised land.
For more information about the garden or sustainability group contact Faye Connors on 0417 518 685 or [email protected]

THE HMAS Canberra has been sunk but the political angst is on the rise, with the Victorian Artificial Reef Society now diving into the debate.
After last weeks revelation that state politicians had been for a free dive at the new shipwreck, which is still closed to the public for safety reasons, VARS has defended the states right to charge fees for the federal gift.
VARS spokesperson, Alan Beckhurst, said the project had been funded by the federal government, contributing $8.5million, and the state providing a further $1.5million, so it was fair to expect it to perform for all Victorians.
This did not mean free access to the local dive community, but a programme headed by Tourism Victoria to stimulate tourism on both the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas, Beckhurst said, adding that Ocean Grove had already benefitted from visitors who watched the scuttling.
By focusing on the tourism angle, the wreck will contribute to the broader communities and validate the government investment, and this was the basis of the bid by Tourism Victoria.
He also defended the governments decision to allocate one diving operator two moorings based on a business estimate, although it has left the initiator of the HMAS Canberra project, Tom Wende, with a mooring to share with all other dive companies.
Operators to service the site were chosen by their ability to generate
business, and thereby tourism, he said.No surprise the largest operator, the
Queenscliff-based Dive Victoria Group, was able to submit the best bid, and forecast it would take over 80 per cent of the divers to visit the wreck.
The rest of the operators combined, including Tom Wende, forecast just 20 per cent of the divers to visit the wreck, and none put forward a bid strong enough for Parks to justify sole access to the remaining buoy.
Parks has decided to give all the remaining operators, including Tom Wende, access to the remaining buoy via a booking system.
This allows all to participate in this tourism attraction, and for the smaller operators, a chance to grow their combined 20 per cent of visitors with their combined 33 per cent access to the buoys.
Private divers also have access to the fourth buoy on the site through a Parks booking system.
Beckhurst also said VARS and other politicians had been heavily involved in securing the HMAS Canberra for Victoria and criticised federal Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Greg Hunts praise of Oz Dives operator, Wende, in last weeks Bellarine Times.
Tom was the first to start the ball rolling in getting the Bracks government to bid for the Canberra, but to suggest that he was solely responsible completely ignores the efforts of the Victorian Artificial Reef Society which was formed to lobby for the ship, he said.
The long-anticipated dive site remains closed to the public.

DRYSDALE and Clifton Springs Community Association members met with Federal MP for Corio and Parliamentary Secretary for Innovation and Industry, Richard Marles, last week.
We discussed how local businesses can seize the opportunities of the coming post-carbon economy by using new clean technologies, saving energy in operations and advising customers how to do the same.
Shopping in our community will be the topic of a DCSCA public meeting on Wednesday, December 2, at 7pm at Springdale Neighbourhood House.
There will be speakers from Aldi, which wants to build a supermarket in town, and from the local farmers market group; and we are confident that local supermarket, Safeway, will be represented. DCSCA is especially interested in local traders views about the changing face of shopping in the town.
The DCSCA has also closely followed the Jetty Road residential development
planning process.DCSCA president, Dou Carson, said
generally, the Jetty Road development would be a good thing for the townships.
But there are sure to be some disagreements over detail, so we should be prepared for some factual debate, he said.
And I see that the development is being described as part of Drysdale is Clifton Springs missing out?
Carson was also concerned about how the location of the temporary east-west road will be decided.
Whichever location is chosen, it must take into consideration the needs, wishes and safety of the Clifton Springs Primary School kids. The final choice must acknowledge the schools position on the issue, he said.

FOOTPATH charges, new roads and other concerns with proposed Drysdales redesign have been raised at the presentation of a Community Hubs and Active Transport Network final draft report.
City of Greater Geelong manager community development, Paul Jamieson, said the Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Hub and Active Transport Network draft report had been developed following a great deal of consultation, which has taken place throughout the year.
Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association secretary, Patrick Hughes, said DCSCA members attended the draft report launch and community interesthad increased as the plan had progressed.
Several people approved of the proposals, but most of the comments and questions came from people who believed that the consultants had failed to address local concerns sufficiently, he said.
The consultants propose creating two new roads, between Wyndham Street and Hancock Street, and between Palmerston Street and High Street. Several people were concerned about these roads effects on traffic flow and pedestrian safety and were unconvinced by assurances that these roads will be designed to slow down vehicles.
The consultants also propose measures to encourage people to walk not drive to town and said that this would reduce demand for parking. There was much scepticism about whether this could be achieved without improved public transport, especially small shuttle buses to reduce the lengthy gaps in present bus timetables.
Finally, many people opposed the councils policy that individual households should contribute to the cost of new pavements outside their house. They argued that pavement, as part of normal urban infrastructure, should be paid for through rates and taxes, just like roads, and street lighting.
This policy was seen as especially inequitable if the council requires new roads and pavements to be built asa result of the consultants report, rather than as a response to local households requests.
Jamieson thanked the community for their involvement and said the draft report would go to council early in the new year.
City officers will recommend that council places the draft report on public exhibition, he said, which would allow for submissions from the community.
To view the draft report, contact Peta Burgoyne at CoGG on 5272 4618.
Community concerns over redesign report ARE YOU a former student of Clifton Springs Primary School
who has succeeded in your chosen field or made a significant contribution to the community?
If you are, or know someone who is a past student that has succeeded and deserves recognition, then you can assist the Clifton Springs PS in creating a Hall of Heroes.
The hall has been launched by principal, Brent Richards, who has used the schools 21st birthday to start the search for heroes.
Richards said the project would recognise the achievements of former students in a variety of fields, including sport, arts, business, community and academic.
He said the Hall of Heroes would include photographs and
profiles of the ex-students hanging in a section of the school for students and the community to see.
Richards said he had previously been principal at Teesedale Primary School, which had a similar recognition display, and it had inspired current and new students at the school.
He said the hall was designed to motivate students and would give those who aspired to be successful in one of the achievement areas, a role model, who had attended their school.
The schools roll dates back to 1989, when it first opened for primary-aged children in the Clifton Springs area.
Past students and their families or friends who would like to make a nomination can contact the school on 5251 3581.
Calling all heroes
Clifton Springs PS Brent Richards is planning to create a Hall of Heroes at the school.

AFTER the careful demolition of the majority of the former St Leonards Primary School, the new $2million school building is now taking shape.
The frame of the open-plan learning centre is up and construction is expected to be completed during term one next year, with staff and students planning to move in during term two.
The new educational facilities will include classrooms, a multi-purpose area and administration space. The original red brick school building has been retained and will be restored to accommodate
the schools library.The state-of-the-art design also has a range of
energy efficient and sustainable features.St Leonards PS principal, Natalie Jenkins, said the
school community was extremely excited about the new school and students had taken a great interest in the demolition and construction.
The school has 15 Prep students enrolled for next year and students will look forward to the move from portable classrooms to the new learning centre. Enrolment information is available by contacting the school on 5257 1460.
St Leonards PS principal, Natalie Jenkins, and students, Rhiana and Jonty, have been watching the rapid construction process.
St Leonards school on the rise
Mount Duneed Primary School students have been rewarded for saving their pocket money. The school was presented with a 32-inch fl at-screen television valued at more than $1,700 thanks to the Commonwealth Banks School Banking Up programme. The initiative encourages regular student saving behaviour by entering their school into the draw to win great prizes every time their school processes their student banking. Pictured at the presentation were (from left) Sue Hartnett (acting principal), students Maddie Davidson and Sally Huxtable and Michael Hastie (branch manager of Waurn Ponds Commonwealth Bank).

letters have your sayTuesday 24 November 200910Charge scheme opposedDear Editor,I have been a recipient of the letter posted to resident of Jan Juc regarding the imposition of a special charge to construct footpaths.
I am, to say the least, annoyed and irritated by yet another example of the dictatorial approach taken by the Surf Coast Shire Council.
The statements by the mayor in the press following the issuing of this statement of intent to levy yet more money from the pockets of the long-suffering resident of this shire is the final straw.
The Surf Coast Shire claims there is a demand for this footpath/bike track from whom, may I ask?
How many residents actually replied to the survey that was posted and where in this survey was any mention of cost to residents?
I find it disconcerting that the Surf Coast Shire, in one fell swoop, is not only expecting us to foot the bill for this footpath which, by the way, should be paid for out of general rates, but also expect us to fork out increased amounts in our rates to fund a monument to their inability to rein in spending ie. the Civic Precinct.
Perhaps if the shire was to shed some of the highly paid minions that occupy the space in the current shire office we might then see the provision of useless services diminish and with it the need to
build the Surf Coasts equivalent of the Taj Mahal I, for one, am going to do everything I can to stop
this ridiculous impost on the community of Jan Juc.Anyone with me?
Jan Juc resident against footpath strategy
Welcome to the Great Ocean RoadDear Editor,The Surf Coast Shire must be delighted to finally see a concrete pre-fab under construction at the entrance to Torquay.
Its taken a while, but now we finally have the start of the ugliest imaginable entrance to a major tourist town, and the iconic Great Ocean Road.
The industrial estate site is clearly inappropriate. The first traffic lights people encounter at the entrance to Torquay are at the industrial estate.
No doubt the few flimsy attempts to grow a few bushes to block out the estate would not be in the interests of developers or businesses.
One can only now surmise that further down the track we will probably have ritzy flashing neon advertising signs on the highway and within the estate.
Once again, council has lacked the vision and logic in its planning, and has succumbed to developers (and slipped the process under the radar).
Its quite incredible that so many councillors always stand under the environmentally conscious and green banners, but when the crunch is on have no credibility.
Welcome to Torquay and the Great Ocean Road!
Bob WilsonJan Juc
Congestion woefulDear Editor,What a great pity Michael Crutchfield, together with his Brumby Government ignores such thoughts as those of David Koch (Surf Coast Times November 17) as regards the woeful congestion in Grossmans Road prior to, and after, school.
I am sure that if Crutchfield had his home or office in Grossmans Road this great problem would not exist.
Would there be a huge outcry if any of the emergency services, such as the Country Fire Authority, ambulance service or State Emergency Service all of which have depots in this area were
to be stuck in the area if emergency calls were made?As Torquay grows in a westerly direction, this
congestion will worsen.Its well past time that Crutchfield got off his
backside and made forward planning for this Years 9-12 school in a more suitable area, or else lay off any decision until the next election when David Koch and his government return to power with the $20million commitment in a far more suitable area.

Government supportDear Editor,This weeks move by the nations police chiefs to jointly tackle alcohol-related violence and anti-social behaviour is backed by our government in the ongoing battle to stamp out Australias booze-fuelled culture.
In Victoria, we have taken huge steps to combat this issue to ensure families and friends can enjoy a night out without the threat of drunken fools or violence.
We moved fast to give police tougher powers to deal with troublemakers, strengthen liquor licensing laws, boost alcohol education programmes and provide resources to put record number of frontline police on the street with another 120 on the way.
Already this year, the Safe Streets Taskforce has arrested over 4,000 drunks in the city on Friday and Saturday nights and visited over 23,000 licensed premises.
Our banning laws are also having an impact, with almost 2,000 troublemakers kicked out of entertainment precincts for 24 hours since we introduced new laws to clean up hot spots in December 2007.
The popular Championship Moves campaign which encourages young men to help keep their mates out of trouble is making a difference. And Victoria has a new Chief Police Commissioner who has said that tackling alcohol-related crime is at the top of his priority list.
On top of that, we are proposing new laws that will enable police to move people on if they fear a breach of peace.
Our government is playing a role, Victoria Police is playing a role and right across the community more and more people are uniting to demonstrate that booze-fuelled violence is simply not on.

Opinions have never bothered us at Oakley. We brush our shoulders off on a daily basis. And so do all of our riders. Take Julian Wilson, for instance. Hes dealt with it all. The head turning. The eyebrow raising. The finger pointing. The
occasional scoffs. But Julian is so used to blowing minds that he doesnt notice any of it. Its always been the same here at Oakley, where decades of notoriety have produced a thick skin of confidence that leaves us unaffected by all the attention.

A BROADBAND for Seniors Internet Kiosk has been opened at Anglesea.Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, was on hand to officially open
the facility on November 13, with the president and committee of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Senior Citizens Club, together with the Lions Club of Anglesea.
Noel Hanson, president of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Senior Citizens Club, said the deployment of the Anglesea Seniors Kiosk would make available a range of services and Internet access to seniors that will help them build their confidence in using the technology.
Learning to be connected as a means of accessing information and services in this technological age is very important, especially for the seniors in our community, he said.
Under the federal governments Broadband for Seniors initiative, NEC Australia will deliver approximately 2,000 internet kiosks across Australia over two and a half years.
Also available in the kiosk is information on neighbourhood housing, libraries, bowling clubs and associated community groups, as well as a host of other useful information to improve quality of life for older Australians.

Funeral Planning, a smart choice for those who have a lot more Life to Live.Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service has provided families in and around the Geelong area with quality service since 1883 and continues to be committed to ensuring security and peace of mind when meeting fi nancial pre-arrangement needs.In her specialised role at Tuckers, Michele assists families with information on funerals and issues related to making arrangements for funerals. She believes that pre-arranging and pre-paying for your
funeral are both an integral part of sensible retirement and estate planning, and is as essential as making a will. It just makes good sense. says Michele, No one wants their family to worry, and its much easier to organise things when you are still well and healthy. The good news is that a pre-paid funeral ensures costs are fi xed at todays prices and that your expressed wishes are carried out, especially if your arrangements become part of your will.Also pre-paid funerals are not means tested against pension entitlements and are safely invested with a fund managerto keep up with infl ation rates.
Two options to consider; Prepaid Funerals The funeral arrangement is purchased at todays cost and remains
fi xed forever regardless of infl ation and future price increases. The funeral plan protects pension entitlements and is exempt under
both the Pensions Asset and Income Test. Funds are invested securely with a Fund Manager in compliance
with the Victorian Prepaid Funeral Legislation. A prepaid funeral will eliminate the fi nancial commitment and
diffi cult decisions often left with family members and/or executors. All funeral plans are tailored to individual needs and formally
documented in a contract. Funeral Bonds Accumulate funds to help meet the future cost of a funeral. It is capital guaranteed by a Fund Manager It can be paid by installments on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly
basis to suit you, and can be automatically debited from a specifi c bank account.
Responsive approach and fl exibility to all individual needs and circumstances have given Tuckers the opportunity to offer families funeral plan options that are within the realm of affordability.For more information or to obtain an obligation free quote, contact Michele or Tania at Tuckers on 5221 4788.

Q. Could you tell us a little about your background?
A. I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and in March 1959 immigrated to Australia through the sponsorship of the Apex Club Programme, intending to stay the mandatory two years.
However, when I got off the boat I met my current wifes brother and cousin then they introduced me to her. We fell in love and I married Barbara. We have been married for 44 years and have two sons, Ian and Jonathan.
Q. What has your working life involved?
A. I came out here and I worked at Ford in product development for 34 years in Geelong. It was a good company to work for.
I saw the first Ford Falcon being built. And of course I still drive a Ford. After a short break I returned to the workforce for a further 11 years as a medical courier for Pathcare Pathology Services. But I finally retired in 2006.
Q. What is your focus in Lions?
A. I am strongly committed to continued growth in both District and the Lions organisation. I have a particular interest in Youth Support Programmes and in developing ways of attracting younger members to our organisation.
It is almost 100 years old, we need to focus on the youth to help to help the organsation grow. I admire all that the organisation as a whole does. Worldwide they have given US$210million over the past three years into programmes to fight curable blindness.
Q. Whats your philosophy on life?
A. Just live your life, enjoy it and help others where you can. Im a very simple man.
Q. What do you do in your spare time?
A. I like playing squash and the occasional game of theatre. I am very fond of the theatre and like to do some singing myself around the nursing home.
BOB GILCHRIST claims he is a regular man, but here at the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times we believe that his selfless commitment to his community for the past 40 years has made him anything but regular.
Gilchrists passion and dedication to his Lions club and to the Lions Organisation is uncompromising and can be seen in his club history with 13 of his 14 years as a member serving on the board of directors, together with five years as a District Officer.
The Leopold local is currently the south west district governor, which encompassed 64 Lions clubs from across the state.

BEING a mum is hard work on your body especially early on, as lots of time is spent sitting feeding, walking, carrying and lifting.
This places enormous strain on your body while the muscles are weak and recovering, you are fatigued from lack of sleep and the ligaments supporting your joints are lax due to hormones released during pregnancy.
To minimise and avoid excess strain on you body, which can lead to pain and injury, it is important to take care of yourself.
Here are some tips to help you:Balance rest and activityListen to what your body tells you and rest when you need to. Daytime rest is essential for all new mums so dont feel guilty about taking a breaking and doing nothing. Rest when you baby has their daytime naps.
Also, dont be afraid to take help when offered, and also ask for help if needed. If you do too much you will feel aches, pains, throbbing, heaviness, teary, tired or irritable.
Move wellWhen you change or bath your baby, do it at the right height, your waist height.
PostureFeed your baby with relaxed shoulders. Sit in a comfortable chair that supports you in a good posture. Roll up a towel and place it
at your lower back.
SlingsA good sling ensures you are carrying your baby with minimal strain on your body. A sling also avoids lifting the pram in and out of the car, and babies love being snuggled up close.
Reduce liftingDont lift anything or anybody heavier than your baby until you can brace your inner abdominals and pelvic floorstrongly. Delegate tasks if you can, for example, get your partner/husband to bathe the baby.
ExerciseDue to lots of sitting, carrying and bending activities, shoulders and the neck can become tight and lower back can get stiff and sore. The exercises, demonstrated in the pictures, are useful.
For more exercise ideas and safe return to exercise after having a baby, try our mother and baby outdoor training, it is suitable for all fitness levels and is a supportive environment run by a physiotherapist.
Times are 9.30am Fridays at Jan Juc Playground; 10am and 11am at South Geelong. For more information or to register for your free trial class, phone 5229 7963 or visit www.innerstrength.com.au
Looking after yourself
1. Sit tall on a fitball, gently arching and flattening lower back.2. During tummy time with baby, lie on your tummy. Gently arch your back, propping up onto your forearms so your chest comes forward. Feel a gently stretch down the front of your body and it should feel good moving your spine back. As you improve try to straighten your elbows.3. Standing in a doorway or using a corner, place your arm up on the wall. Step forward and rotate your body slowly away, gently stretching the front of your chest.

Hi, my name is Dr. George Klein (pictured). I am a dentist at the Sleep Health Clinic.I used to snore. I would wake up feeling like I had not slept and felt tired throughout the day. Then one day I came across a dental sleep guard that was scientifically proven to stop snoring in 95% of cases and was comfortable to wear. This treatment has the endorsement of the Australasian Sleep Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.This dental sleep guard has changed my life. I no longer snore and wake with a zest for life which lasts all day. The dental sleep guard works by gently holding the lower jaw forward. This simply opens the airway thereby stopping snoring and allowing for more oxygen to rejuvenate the body during sleep.
Does this sound like you? Do you or your partner sleep in separate rooms due to loud snoring?
Do you wake feeling sleep deprived and fatigued? Do you feel sleepy during the day?
Has anyone heard you snort, gasp, or hold your breath during sleep

THE STAYING in Portarlington initiative to establish the health and lifestyle needs of senior residents has received more than 200 responses to a community survey.
Survey participants were given the added incentive of a chance to win a $50 gift voucher from Portarlington businesses if they took the time to provide their views.
SIP group convener Monica Hayes said the competition had closed, with Bernice McRae drawn as the winner, but further responses were welcome.
She said permanent and part-time residents were all invited to have their say because often holiday home owners became retirees in the town.
It is important to strengthen neighbourhood networks so older residents were connected with local services, activities, events and support, Hayes said.
For more information about the survey or SIP project, contact Monica Hayes on 52593708 or email [email protected]
Port prize a boost for McRae
Portarlington Post Office manager, Rick McRae, SIP survey competition winner Bernice McRae and SIP convenor Monica Hayes celebrate the positive survey response and Bernices prize.
BELLARINE Community Health has appointed four new board members to vacancies left by retiring members.
New BCH board members are Von Philp, Mary Cameron, Suzanne Cooper and Hazel Ingram, replacing Monica Hayes, Evelyn Wuchatsch and Pat Bell, who has retired after 15 years.
The new members were officially appointed at last weeks BCH annual general meeting and will join current representatives Kevin Hughes, Elizabeth Thomas, Valentine Simpson, Ross Brown and Neville Greenhalgh.
BCH chief executive, John Fendyk, also presented recognition certificates to 30 community members who volunteer at the health organisations sites across the Bellarine.
He acknowledged the work of all volunteers, and paid tribute to Sue Winton, who had given 35 years service to BCH.

IN A BID to reduce injuries and loss of life Parks Victoria is urging the public not to jump or dive from piers and jetties as hotter weather draws increasing numbers of people to the Bellarine.
Parks Victoria chief ranger, Graeme Davis, said diving from piers was highly dangerous.
Especially on the bays, where varying tidal and sand movements constantly change the water depths and submerged debris can pose an unexpected hazard, he said.
Every year a number of people are seriously injured
or sometimes die as a result of injuries caused by jumping from piers.
The safety of swimmers who continue to dive from piers despite the clear no diving signage is of great concern to Parks Victoria.
Parents should be especially vigilant and ensure their children are aware that jumping off piers is not a safe way to enjoy the water.
The last thing anyone wants to hear is a story of a fun day by the bay resulting in a severe injury or even worse loss of life.
Not only is the practice of jumping or diving off piers hazardous to those engaged in the activity, it also puts at risk boat operators attempting to berth and disembark passengers.
Parks Victoria wants to encourage people to think carefully about their safety before choosing a location for swimming. There are safer places than piers to enter the water to swim and enjoy the beach.
For more information about the piers and jetties around the Bellarine contact Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or visit www.parkweb.vic.gov.au

HAVE you insured your house, its contents and your car?
Most people do, so youd think that it would be logical to insure where those possessions come from you and your income.
Its a clich, but its true people should expect the unexpected and one of the best ways to prepare is to have some insurance.
If theres an unwelcome intrusion into your life, whether its a burglary or something more devastating like death or a long-term illness, insurance can at least take care of the financial disruption, providing the money to help your family cope.
Many people are simply not prepared for the financial consequences that can follow unexpected events.
If, for example, a normal working couple with two children were suddenly reduced to one income, their household income could fall anywhere from $20,000 to $80,000 in the first year alone.
If either parent were to suffer a serious and long-term disability, this loss could be between $500,000 to $1.8million over 20 years.
Most people are so focused on earning their pay and building their wealth that they dont take the next step to protect it.
In one year, the average family could lose around $40,000 in lost earnings after a disability. However, with insurance, the same family can ride out the bad times without having to worry too much about how they will pay the bills.
Insurance can helpRisk protection insurance can help you protect your family and your assets, including your business, if something unexpected did happen to you.
Everyones needs are different and its important to have a good risk protection strategy in place.
Protect your familyThere are several insurance options available to protect against the loss of income in the case of someone suffering a disability. The most common is income protection. Income protection can pay a monthly amount, kind of like a wage, if a person is injured or ill and cannot work.
Income protection payments can help maintain the household, meet the mortgage repayments and even pay some of the medical costs while someone recuperates before they go back to work.
Most people do have life insurance through their superannuation, which is a simple and cost effective way to buy this insurance, but often people still dont have enough cover. Many superannuation funds provide life insurance cover of less than $100,000. But the AMP.NATSEM Report revealed the average Australian household has debts of around $100,000.
Protect your businessYou need to consider who would run your business if you couldnt because you were ill or injured.
The bills would still need to be paid. By paying the expenses of your business while youre ill or injured, business overheads insurance helps keep your business going while you recover.
Finding out if you have enough life insurance cover is relatively simple and is as easy as talking to us, we can assist you with working out your insurance needs based on your needs, objectives and financial situation.

FIRST HOUSES BUILT AFTER SALE Extracts from History of Torquay by James A Baines 1938Three weeks after the sale, Mr Rudd built the first house. It was of iron construction. Nobby Smith (a Pommie) arrived by Jarvis the wood carrier about 2am on the top of a bare hill in a howling gale of wind and rain. We got Jarvis to help us up-end the iron fireplace and chimney leaving poor Smith and me si tting on two kitchen chairs feeling very disconsolate till l suggested that we go to the boarding house, which was kept by Mrs Follett near the present wine caf.
