Multi-million dollar water recycling pipeline to protect Torquay’s water supplyDROUGHT PROOF

BY NATHAN HALE

TORQUAY’S water worries are set to take a back seat after a $10.5million investment in a new water recycling initiative was unveiled on the weekend.

The announcement will see the construction of a dual pipeline system to deliver recycled water to 3,000 new homes in north Torquay, as well as a host of community green spaces and businesses in town.

The project is expected to save 850 million litres of potable water and produce more than 900 million litres of recycled water each year.

The new Torquay Community and Civic Precinct will benefit from the announcement, as will local market gardeners and flower growers, and the Torquay Golf Club and Spring Creek Reserve.

Surf Coast Shire Mayor, Libby Coker, was joined by Minister for Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Water, Senator Penny Wong, Member for

Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, and Barwon Water managing director, Michael Malouf for the announcement.

The quartet met at the Black Rock Recycling Plant on Saturday to announce the funding pledge from the Labor government – which equates to half of the total cost of the $21million project.

Coker said the announcement was great news for Torquay – and came after years of hard work from this, and the previous, council.

“Surf Coast Shire has been lobbying for some time for recycled water to be delivered to Torquay,” Coker said.

“We’re certainly pleased the Federal Government has announced this important step towards securing our water supply and providing more opportunities for sustainable living; particularly in Torquay north where future population growth will be directed.

“The pipeline also provides a lot of potential

for irrigated horticulture projects in the Thompson Valley, which council has been seeking to help cultivate for some time.

“Council would welcome the further extension of this pipeline in the future to make class-A recycled water a viable option for more Surf Coast residents and businesses.”

The pipeline will run from the Black Rock facility, north of Thompson Creek to Horseshoe Bend Road, then along Horseshoe Bend Road to join with South Beach Road.

The pipe will go across the Surf Coast Highway, as far as Coombes Road, before travelling along the back of Spring Creek – which will enable the golf club and Spring Creek Reserve to have access to the recycled water.

“I believe this is one of the most important pieces of town infrastructure we have funded so far,” said Cheeseman, himself a Torquay resident.

“Torquay is one of Victoria’s fastest growing residential areas and this is terrific news and will help drought-proof our town and make the town more sustainable by taking the pressure off potable water supplies.”

Standing firm on Spring Creek land rezoningLast week, council rejected a proposal to

seek a planning amendment in the Spring Creek Valley to rezone land before the beginning of the Torquay Jan Juc 2040 process.

This was another unequivocal signal of the sincere and serious approach the council is taking to working with our community to help determine how we address growth pressure in Torquay, Jan Juc and Bellbrae, and how we plan for our future.

The proposal would have allowed Christian College to build a school on land in the Spring Creek valley.

While the need for more education facilities in Torquay is certainly evident, now is not the time to consider rezoning.

With consultation set to begin this month, and a final report set to be delivered in mid-2011, I encourage you to get involved in this important project.

A considered decision on Jan Juc Creekstorm waterAt July’s council meeting, it voted to give the RACV a six-year licence to use storm water that would ordinarily flow into Jan Juc Creek to irrigate the Torquay Golf Course.

As part of this proposal, several conditions were put in place including a programme of works and measures to help improve the ecology and health of Jan Juc Creek; which has been severely modified since urban settlement of the area.

A further six-year option could also be exercised, pending an assessment of the effects of this proposal on the creek itself.

This approach followed the completion and peer review of an array of scientific reports, more

than 70 community submissions and a community consultation process run by council.

The issue of urban storm water re-use is uncharted waters for councils, with little legislative guidance or precedent as to how these issues should be addressed. The decision we have come to strikes a balance that provides a win for the Torquay Golf Club and the condition of this important golf course, and for the ongoing health of the Jan Juc Creek.

Bushfire Royal CommissionSurf Coast Shire’s hope is that the findings of the commission offer further clarity on issues such as the implementation of the stay-or-go policy, early evacuation, the use of warning systems, Neighbourhood Safer Places and other options. Like the State Government, council will need time to review and consider the commission’s findings. Surf Coast Shire continues to seek more support from other levels of government to help ensure the safety of our residents – both permanent and non-permanent – and our visitors throughout the bushfire season.

Council has allocated substantial resources to doing more for bushfire preparation, particularly around towns. Part of this is adapting to the likelihood that climate change will increase bushfire risk on the Surf Coast.

We must never forget the 173 people who lost their lives on Black Saturday and the ongoing bushfire threat. The release of the Royal Commission’s final report is a timely reminder that bushfire preparation is a year-round undertaking, and that August is a good time for all of us to start acting to prepare for the warmer months.

Planning for jobs and growth in WinchelseaCouncil last week placed on exhibition a draft plan which charts future upgrades and growth for

Winchelsea’s industrial precinct.The document identifies several measures that

need to be taken to make the industrial estate a more attractive centre for businesses and to ensure the estate provides jobs and services to the community.

Developed with the assistance of a project reference group that included landowners, businesses and local community representatives; the draft plan focuses on:• Improving the aesthetic appeal and presence of

the estate• Improving frontage to the Princes Highway• Improving access to the estate• Scoping opportunities for more land supply.

The plan can be found at the Winchelsea Visitor Centre or at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au under latest news. Submissions can be made in writing to Surf Coast Shire’s Strategic Planning Unit, PO Box 350, Torquay 3228, before Friday, September 10.

New floor to shine at sport and rec centreSurf Coast Sport and Recreation Centre will be open again for its usual activities and programmes on Monday, August 16 after the replacement of the gym floor.

We appreciate the patience of the facility’s users and the assistance of groups including Torquay College in helping us make alternative arrangements for the delivery of programmes while this project has been completed.

JAN JUC Creek is set to receive a raft of improvements after council last week voted to allow the RACV to harvest stormwater from the waterway.

Shire councillors last week voted at their monthly meeting to give in-principle support to the Torquay Golf Club using stormwater run-off from the creek for six years – with an option of six further years exercisable after an extensive review of the health of Jan Juc Creek.

The support has been granted pending several conditions and the completion of a range of upgrades that will improve the-eco system around Jan Juc Creek, including:• Work to eradicate the noxious fish Eastern

Gambusia from the creek and its estuary• Design the overflow structure of new wetlands to

cater for native fish passage• Design a stormwater harvesting system so that

contaminants like oil and litter are removed and disposed of appropriately

• Designing new wetlands in a manner that will provide habitat for the Growling Grass Frog

• Ensuring that any herbicides used are frog-friendly• Ensuring a net increase in native vegetation cover

across the site.

RACV will also be required to monitor coastal scrub around the Jan Juc Creek estuary after construction of the harvesting system and work with Council and neighbours on weed control, revegetation and other environmental improvements around the creek in the long term.

Mayor, Libby Coker, said the result that had come after extensive consultation and the completion of several expert reports.

“Councillors have always said we want a win-win outcome from the RACV’s proposal, which breaks new ground in Victoria,” she said.

“We believe the measures that will be taken as a result of this position will vindicate the cautious approach council has taken with the use of stormwater, which is a community asset, from Jan Juc.

“Since April, Council received 73 written submissions, conducted two public forums and met with various state government agencies to discuss the proposal.

“We have received recommendations from agencies, including the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and commissioned peer reviews of the reports RACV commissioned to make sure we get this important decision right.”

AN ANGLESEA mum who struck it lucky at Tattslotto says she will spend her $666,666 clearing her mortgage and paying for her children’s education.

The woman, who is in her 40s, was shocked to learn she was the Division One winner in the July 24 draw.

“I don’t know how I feel. I just can’t believe it,” she said.

Owners of the Torquay Lotto and Gifts store who sold the golden ticket, Paul and Corinne Nigro, are rapt to have “struck it lucky”.

“We are absolutely thrilled. We have only owned the shop for six or seven months so to have a result like this is just huge,” Corrine said.

“We can’t wait to sell another winner and do it again. We think the luck is in the air.”

RACV gets creek all clear

Forum hailed a successTHE FIRST Clean Energy Coast Forum has been described as a success, despite it taking an unexpected turn last Friday at Anglesea. While 70 people attended, 30 of those were from a group concerned about the placement of the new school and the threat of pollution being omitted from nearby Alcoa. “Although the steering committee was

hoping for more discussion about a regional alliance, I think we can all say that the forum was a success,” said forum chair, Simon Pockley. “Climate action is a collaborate effort and we’ve seen a wonderful example this evening of how we can put politics aside and let communities have a voice. This is just the beginning. The ideas behind the forum now have a life of their own and a regional sustainability group is in the process of being established.”

News in brief

Owners of Torquay Lotto and Gifts, Paul and Corinne Nigaro, are celebrating selling a First Division Lotto ticket that won an Anglesea woman a small fortune - $666,666.

People power prevents tower

Mattea is a magazine editor

BY ELEANOR WOODS

TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant Optus has backed down on the decision to build a mobile phone tower in the centre of Forrest.

The 200-strong Forrest community is celebrating the company’s change of tune – news that ensures their town would not become victim to “potential health risks and visual degradation”.

An Optus spokesperson said the community had made it clear it was dissatisfied with the plan to erect a 45-metre telecommunications tower at 6 Blundy Street in the residential centre of the small town.

“With this in mind, we have begun investigating

alternative sites in the surrounding area which we’re confident will allay the concerns of the local community,” the spokesperson said.

Towers Out of Town (TOOT) group had vigilantly manned a picket line at the proposed site, day and night, for the last month until the decision to build the tower was overthrown last week.

TOOT’s Gillian Brew said the outcome was “just fantastic”.

“There is a real sense of achievement for everyone involved. We stood up for something we believed in,” she said.

“We stood up for our rights and we have been rewarded.

“We are very excited. When we got the news

there was a lot of screaming, a lot of hugging and bit of crying… we are just so relieved.”

Optus and the Colac Otway Shire Council vowed to keep public consultation open in the search for an alternative site for the tower, which TOOT supported being built – but not in the centre of town.

Council welcomed news that Optus is considering alternative sites for the tower.

Chief executive officer, Rob Small, said Optus had worked closely with council to consider the community’s concerns.

“Optus has responded to the community’s concerns by considering alternative sites for the tower, and I would like to thank Optus for its co-operation,” he said.

JAN JUC’S Mattea Piper has won a spot as guest kid’s editor for this month’s edition of the Burke’s Backyard magazine.

Each month the magazine gives children the opportunity to fill the spot as guest kid’s editor, and Mattea’s entry grabbed the attention of the judges – including gardening guru, Don Burke.

Aside from being published, Mattea also wins a Burke’s Backyard prize pack and a $500 gift voucher

for her school’s library, St Therese Primary School, Torquay.

Mattea has two pages in this month’s magazine, with items such as her love of her many pets and gathering and learning about crystals.

She also shares with readers pictures of gigantic squashes grown in her garden and her extensive array of crystals.

The August issue of Burke’s Backyard is on sale now.

Jan Juc’s Mattea Piper beat off entrants from throughout Australia to be named Burke’s Backyard magazine kid’s editor for August.

Future planning for WinchelseaWINCHELSEA’S standing as one of the most progressive towns in the Surf Coast will be underlined this week with the release of the Winchelsea Industrial Estate Masterplan.

The masterplan, which was yesterday placed on public display for the next six weeks, is part of council’s efforts to plan for the sustainable future growth of Winchelsea.

The plan identifies a number of measures that need to be taken to make the industrial estate a more attractive centre for various businesses and to ensure the estate provides jobs and services to the community.

Scott Hunt, from Bruce Falk Property, said the release of the masterplan is further indication that Winchelsea is set to be the next boom town for property prices in the region.

“We have seen prices steadily rise over the past two

years in Winchelsea and believe that a similar growth spurt to what we have seen in regional towns like Bannockburn and Inverleigh is very much on the cards for Winchelsea," he said.

“Recent infrastructure funding, and now this announcement, gives further credibility to our belief that Winchelsea offers a great opportunity for investors or first home buyers trying to enter the market.”

Developed with the assistance of a Project Reference Group that included land owners, businesses and local community representatives; the draft plan focuses on:

• Improving the aesthetic appeal and presence of the estate

• Improving frontage to the Princes Highway• Improving access to the estate• Scoping opportunities for more land supply.

Measures proposed in the plan include:• Enhance the highway frontage and visibility/

exposure• Subdivide larger lots to increase the supply of

available land• Provide traffic calming measures in Gosney Street

and redirect heavy vehicles• Rezone land on the south side of the Princes

Highway to a business zone.The plan is available from council’s website, www.

surfcoast.vic.gov.au under ‘Latest News’ or can be viewed at the Winchelsea Visitor Centre.

Submissions can be sent to Surf Coast Shire’s Strategic Planning Department, PO Box 350, Torquay, 3228 or to [email protected] before Friday, September 10.

Anglesea crashANGLESEA Police are still in the dark about a crash on the corner leading into town. The metal barrier guarding the edge of the right hand bend, at the bottom of the hill as you enter town from the north, was crashed into with force in the early hours of Sunday, July 25. Sergeant Kevin Warburton said the incident occurred about 6am and that no-one had come forward with any information about the crash. “It’s very bizarre. Quite a bit of damage has been done,” he said. If anyone has information on the crash, phone Anglesea Police on 5263 3468.

Magic bustAN 18-year-old Anglesea man has been caught dealing magic mushrooms and will appear in the Geelong Magistrates Court this week. Anglesea sergeant, Kevin Warburton, said the teenager had admitted to selling small “deal bags” of the hallucinogenic fungi for $10 each, after he was caught red handed. Police searched the unemployed man’s home on June 29 and found 15 bags containing the substance, which is prohibited under the Drugs and Poisons Act. “We want the public to know we will not tolerate that kind of behaviour,” Warburton said.

A FISHING-MAD Anglesea man has hooked on to a new approach to teaching the tricks of the trade.

Garry Kerr, owner of The Great Ocean Road Outdoor Centre, has trained more than 3,000 people about the ins and outs of sustainable fishing since he began his fishing clinics four years ago.

“It’s all about getting people out there and having a go. Some people don’t know where to start but we provide the tools and the tips to get you catching fish,” he said.

School groups, Girl Guides and even an outback Aboriginal group have already taken part in the clinics, which operate all year at various locations along the Surf Coast.

The clinics have even received coverage on several national television shows.

“What we are doing is unique. We provide the rods, reels, tackle and bait as well as trained instructors that all have working with children certification,” Kerr said.

The course, which involves what to do, what not to do, how to get a hook out and how to handle the fish once you’ve landed it, isn’t just for the little ones.

“Anyone can do the fishing clinic – kids, adults, whoever wants to learn,” Kerr said.

The fishing guru is keen on preserving the Anglesea River for the years to come and encourages people to release their catch if it is not necessary to keep it.

“We really want to encourage sustainable fishing in the river,” he said.

Over the years, many species of fish which were once common are no longer residing there.

Bream, Kerr said, was still common, but it was important to remain conscious about the future of the river.

“Anglesea really is such an amazing place. It is absolutely beautiful. It is up to us to make sure it stays that way,” Kerr said.

Garry Kerr from The Great Ocean Road Outdoor Centre in Anglesea is the brains behind the fishing clinic concept that is reeling in the public.

SURF Coast Holiday Rentals in Anglesea has moved camp to be more user-friendly.

Owner and operator of the property management business, David Muir, announced the group would now be based at the town’s main shopping centre, at 69 Great Ocean Road.

“In the new location we will be able to better assist all our clients and potential clients with their property needs,” Muir said.

Anglesea, he said, was a great holiday destination

for many reasons.“When people think of Anglesea they think of a

peaceful, quiet place to unwind. It is a great holiday spot for families and people here are very respectful and warm,” he said.

The business previously operated next to the video store and outdoor centre prior to opening its doors in the main shopping centre this week.

“Everything else will stay the same. We are just moving to a better location,” Muir said.

THE 2011 Aireys Inlet’s Festival of Words will be launched this month with a special ‘taster’ at the Aireys Inlet Hotel.

The Taste of Words evening will be held on Saturday, August 21 at the hotel at 8.30pm – a late venue change after the federal election meant the Community Hall was no longer available.

Despite the change of venue, organisers are expecting a large crowd to attend the evening to enjoy the launch of next year’s festival – as well as

be entertained with finger food and nibbles and live music.

The evening will also unveil the winner of the Festival of Words writing competition, where the challenge was to create a prelude which will inspire 10 authors to write their own short story – following on from the prelude.

Festival co-ordinator, Anne Dansick, said the festival itself was purposely not held this year due to its rapid growth over the opening three years.

“It just grew too quickly,” Dansick said.“We want to make sure that we hold a well-run

festival and it had been yearly over the first three years, but we are using this year to re-evaluate and re-assess and make sure that everything is in place for 2011.

“The festival is only run by a small group of volunteers and we want to do everything we can to keep the festival free.

“Last year people came down and donated their time and while that is great, we know that they cannot keep doing that.”

So, with thoughts of 2011 festival already well under way, the committee will be applying for

community grants to help with running costs.“We want to keep everything free with the

festival, so the more support we can get from the community and the more awareness of the festival, hopefully that will help us,” Dansick said.

Tickets for the Taste of Words event on August 21 are available through the Aireys Inlet Hotel, and pre-bookings are preferred.

A highlight of the evening will be the musical performance of Jan Juc’s Tess Guthrie.

For more information on the 2011 festival, visit the website, www.aireysinlet.com.au/words/

Accommodation consultant Jade Dighton of Anglesea’s Surf Coast Holiday Rentals will be moving with the business when it relocates from its spot near the video store to its new home in the town’s main shopping centre.

Having my sayDear Editor,If you are not going to give me a right of reply to the nonsence (SIC) you put in your paper where you gave a right of reply to the Surf Coast Shire CEO to a story you never even ran in your paper then I don’t want to recieve (SIC) your paper electronically any more. Please remove my email address from your records.

I am also disapointed (SIC) that my calls to your journalist were not returned and my letter to the editor was not published.

I would like to think that the motivation behind your paper as being a little more than just a political “Red Rag” promoting governments in return for possible development or political favours.

Maybe a few letters to other papers about what happened to the Surf Coast Times? Reflecting on the days when it was an unbiased true community voice not under the blatant influence of the three tiers of government.

Ron HumphreyTorquay

Editor’s note:Thanks for the feedback Ron (or are they threats?).

Just refreshing my memory… that’s right, you’re the ex-councillor who tried to get re-elected, but the community spoke – with “an unbiased true community voice” – by choosing not to vote you in.

Perhaps you haven’t had your name in the media for some time and thought it was time to gain some popularity points back from ‘your community’ for one reason or another.

We are a community newspaper that aims to reflect ‘what’s good about living on the Surf Coast’. To suggest otherwise, and say that we are “under the blatant influence of the three tiers of government” underlines just how out of touch you are with the community and its concerns.

Shire decisions raise questionsDear Editor,Congratulations to the Surf Coast Council for showing some will in placing a hold on development in the Spring Creek valley until public opinion has been measured. It is admirable to see a council showing responsibility to the community it serves.

To then turn around and put hurdles in the way of the RACV development of the Torquay Golf Club is incomprehensible behaviour.

The RACV is going to spend more than $90,000,000 building a state-of-the-art golf course and facilities which will be of great benefit to Torquay.

Apart from attracting tourism, the development will supply jobs and make No. 1 Great Ocean Road a great meeting place for both residents and tourists and an icon of Torquay.

It is a facility that most councils would love to get their hands on, yet ours is creating obstacles that could endanger the whole process.

All the RACV wanted was to harvest street water from Jan Juc. The council’s own officers were for the proposal. One would think that that should have been

that. When the motion was brought up, councillor Simon Northeast moved an amendment which probably makes the scheme untenable to the RACV.

I would like to know if councillor Northeast and the councillors who voted for his amendment will take responsibility for their actions if the RACV decide that they cannot go ahead with the development. That would be a big loss for Torquay.

Bigger concerns than boat peopleDear Editor,I’m glad to see Cliff Winkler has told us how he is going to vote in the upcoming election. Liberal Party all the way apparently, so that all the boats will be stopped. Thanks Cliff. I wasn’t sure how to vote this year. I was so confused. But now it’s clear. Any one other than your ‘Boat Stopping Party’.

I’m also not sure how a small number of refugees arriving by boat manage to affect your comfortable little life. Most illegal immigrants to this country arrive by plane anyway. Don’t get sucked into the boat hype. I would have thought your biggest worry would be the slow death of Torquay as a beautiful, coastal town with a strong sense of community.

The hoards of developers taking your town and council for a ride are bigger enemies to this sensitive coast than some boats off WA.

And by the way, if you at some stage in the future feel the need to flee Torquay, don’t come to my home town and sabotage your car engine so you can’t be turned around. I might just send you to Melton. (Sorry Melton).

Mayor Coker needs better advice Dear Editor,In her Mayor’s Column (Surf Coast Times July 6), Libby Coker, has a misleadingly selective view of history when she claims to be setting things straight about State government’s decision on the C37 amendment to our shire’s planning scheme.

Selective in that it ignores events such as the overwhelming public rejection of the 2008 Spring Creek study findings.

History knows that this was the event that in April 2009 led to council deferring a decision on Torquay’s western boundary until important basic matters were decided about how much growth and in what form.

So council’s resolution did not “override decades of planning history” as Libby asserts. It responded to that history.

Planning documents only saw potential in the Spring Creek Valley. Potential – not decided, let alone agreed by a never consulted community.

In changing C37 Justin Madden has ignored that hard-won, community-responsive council resolution and adopted a contrary position more aligned with developers’ needs. We want him to change that position and will support the council in all

endeavours to do so.Bellbrae Residents Association supports the 2040

process to ensure unrestrained growth does not bugger Torquay/Jan Juc and particularly Bellbrae.

John OlsenBellbrae Residents Association Inc

Where is the evidence?Dear Editor,I refer to Cliff Winkler’s letter (Surf Coast Times, July 27). Does he realise that of the 172,000 migrants who came to Australia last year, only 1,745 were asylum seekers who came by boat. What is his evidence that this tiny minority took jobs from Australians? We are in fact, creating jobs in the mental health field trying to rehabilitate these unfortunate people we have spent so much money destroying.

I feel great sadness that both Labor and Liberal governments are making an election issue over these desperate people.

In comparison to other countries Australia’s take up refugees is very small. Last year Australia took a total of 1.6 per cent of the world’s asylum seekers. Rather pathetic, I’d say.

What has happened to our sense of ‘fair play’?

Rosemary FarisTorquay

Planning stormwater out of the systemDear Editor,I note the PM’s announcement regarding millions for stormwater harvesting in urban areas. A good idea but it is a pity that in our region systemic measures to use stormwater as part of a lower impact diversified water strategy have essentially fallen on deaf ears.

Down at Armstrong Creek the original plan for a series of retention basins that would have served stormwater harvesting was torpedoed by council and ignored by the State Government under the weight of developer pressure to get hold of more land.

Such moves have merely contributed to a general ‘greenwash’ strategy at Armstrong Creek, that has affected other key planning decisions, including continued car dependence and poor public transport planning, abolition of greenways and wider biodiversity rehabilitation, abandonment of localised water recycling, and a complete failure of imagination in respect of innovative housing developments or widespread shift to greater energy efficiencies and renewable energy sources.

The enormous potential of such a greenfield site has generally been wasted, as government and developers merely seek quick profits based on formulaic developments.

Combining widespread use of stormwater and rainwater harvesting, recycling, water conservation and the existing dam network are far better initial options, and achievable at considerably lower cost, than the State Government’s existing strategy based on desalination and appropriating water from the other side of the Great Dividing Range.

CALLING all media savvy Surf coasters – it’s time to get on board a new idea-sharing venture and ride the wave into the realms of the likeminded.

SurfPod, the brainchild of self proclaimed Jan Juc “geek” Patrick Blampied is a soon-to-be launched portal for sharing information and ideas of all kinds.

“It’s a space where anyone can have a say, whatever they are into; music, movies, anything. If a farmer in Winchelsea wants to talk about turnips he can,” Blampied said.

Blampied, a media junkie and ex-radio guru, said the website space would have a strong focus on sound driven content but would also be open to any other form of media.

“Writing, music, photography, anyone can use it for any interest,” he said.

People of all ages, interests, skills and scopes are being encouraged to join SurfPod and tell their stories, share their insights or simply enjoy other people’s posts.

“There are so many people along the coast blogging and doing heaps of great, interesting things. SurfPod opens up a common ground for them to launch from,” he said.

Its users would have access to equipment and training to enable them to produce high quality sound productions on any range of topics.

“The site is all about being inclusive and having a space that anyone can use,” Blampied said.

SurfPod, which is run by Blampied and a handful of other Surf Coast media enthusiasts under the

auspice of the Spring Creek Community House, will also offer workshops on media law, recording and editing sound as well as interview techniques, beginning at the end of this month.

The group has already received $1,000 from the Surf Coast Shire to get the venture started. If you are interested in being part of SurfPod, phone Patrick Blampied on 0432 907 876.

TORQUAY Rotary Club celebrated another successful year at its annual changeover dinner held recently.

At the dinner – held at the Beach Hotel, Jan Juc – immediate past Rotary District Governor, Chris Sims, presented two members of the club with Paul Harris Recognitions.

Greg Plumridge and Chris Fryar were recognised for having set an example for many by their significant contributions to the club and the community.

The fellowships are named after Paul Harris, who founded Rotary in 1905.

Also at the dinner, Greg Birchall presented the annual report that summarised many achievement of the club over the last year.

These included the opening of the bike path in Torquay in partnership with Surf Coast shire; support for the Torquay CFA, SES and many other local and wider community activities totalling in excess of $28,000.

The changeover involved the passing of the presidential role from Greg Birchall to John McDonald.

McDonald introduced the new board and also a new structure of service committees, before outlining his goals to see the Torquay rotary club continue to make a difference in the local community as well as the wider and international communities.

The next year will see the running of the annual car show on the foreshore in Torquay in addition to the Graham Price Golf Day and many other community and fundraising activities.

THE GEELONG Ring Road continues to take shape with State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, last week announcing another important milestone in the construction phase.

Last Friday, traffic was temporarily switched onto a one kilometre section of the new southbound lanes, beyond the Anglesea Road.

“Today we have passed an important milestone in the Geelong Ring Road project a traffic switch to the Ring Road Section 4A, the $125million Angelsea Road Link,” Crutchfield said.

Traffic will be switched onto the section of the new southbound lanes, beyond the Anglesea Road roundabout through to Hams Road. This traffic switch will allow earthworks and major construction to continue for the northbound lanes.

An existing section of Anglesea Road will be converted to a service road for adjacent properties.

“In coming months roadwork speed limits will apply with temporary traffic lights operating during work hours to allow safe access for construction vehicles in and out of the work site,” Crutchfield said.

The bridge over Princes Highway is on track for completion by the end of the year, with associated works scheduled to continue into 2011.

Once completed, drivers on the Ring Road travelling to Anglesea and beyond will be able to travel on the new link, with the overpass of the Princes Highway separating through traffic from local traffic.

In coming month’s works will also start on Section 4B, the westerly extension of the Ring Road, five kilometres from Anglesea Road to the Princes Highway at Draytons Road.

HARRY Viktus was barely walking when he “fell in love” with animals.

Now the 11-year-old Anglesea boy has turned his passion for creepy crawlies and rare reptiles into a business.

The Reptile Man, as he calls himself, attends children’s birthday parties, giving kids an interactive show with his friendly menagerie.

Harry’s quirky approach has already seen him host a handful of parties.

“I just love animals. I always have, for as long as I can remember. I started doing this because I wanted to share my love for them with other people,” he said.

Harry brings to the party a juvenile python, green tree frogs and blue tongue lizards and teaches the crowd how to handle and care for

the creatures.“The animals always make the kids happy,”

he said.Harry first “fell for” reptiles when he attended

a similar party at age two.“Mum reckons I just went crazy over the

animals, asking heaps of questions and from then on I was hooked,” he said.

Harry charges $40 per party, which includes the show as well as a small gift for the birthday child, who is star of the day.

“The animals are totally safe and the kids love it. The frogs are always really fun,” he said.

The Reptile Man requires a three- to four-metre indoor space to conduct his presentation and all children will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Harry’s special pets.

APOLLO Bay midwife and nurse, Sally-Anne Brown, last week announced her candidacy for the seat of Corangamite.

In launching her campaign, Brown said she is aiming to give a voice to Australian women who have lost maternity services.

Recently, 11 of the 13 midwives servicing Corangamite have been forced

to cease their practices, and Brown is one of only two remaining midwives to service an area of nearly 8,000-square kilometres.

Apart from campaigning primarily on maternity services reform, Brown is also focusing on a strong social, environmental and health policy

platform. Her key campaign components include:• Bring births back to local communities• Zero emissions by 2020• Housing affordability; and• Improved roads and public transport

AFTER eight years of servicing the Anglesea community, Furio Rovere has closed the doors of the Sea’s Café.

Rovere will continue to run Furio’s Café Restaurant, and he will also pursue his healthy lifestyle programme.

When it reopens, the Sea Café will be the new home of the Anglesea and District Community Bank Branch.

The bank’s expansion will enable it to better cater for its ever increasing customer base – which currently stands at more than 1,500 customers holding in excess of $75million in banking business.

“Since opening just five years ago, the branch has been a huge success,” said branch manager, Shane Madden.

“We have been well supported by the community in the form of banking business which in turn gives us the ability to support various local community groups and organisations.

“This is a huge statement and reinforces our commitment to the people of Anglesea and district communities. Where other banks have left or reduced their services we are doing the opposite.”

Rovere and his wife, Allyson, will continue to run Furio’s Café Restaurant, where they will soon be combining food with art, culture and live entertainment.

“It’s the end of an era in one sense but a great opportunity for me to focus upon my healthy lifestyle programme which I have been pursuing for some time,” Rovere said.

ANGLESEA’S school gardening programme has been given a major boost with a $1,200 grant from the Telstra Kids Fund.

The money was presented to the school to help purchase a hot house to develop the school’s gardening programme.

Grant recipients are nominated by Telstra employees, and Telstra Country Wide area general manager, Jodi Manion, said it was

another example of Telstra’s commitment to investing in local communities.

“Telstra either touches, or is active in, every community across the nation and the Telstra’s Kids Fund is a further demonstration of the personal involvement and connection our staff have in local areas,” Manion said.

THE LIBERAL Party has promised to improve and expand the existing Education Tax Rebate to help families with the costs of their children’s education if successful at this month’s federal election.

Liberal candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, said the coalition would increase the rebate to up to $500 per year per child in primary school, up from the current $390 rebate. “Eligible parents will be able to claim a 50 per cent rebate for up to $1,000 of education-related expenses for each child in primary school,” Henderson said.

“The Coalition would also increase the rebate to up to $1,000 per year per child in secondary school, up from Labor’s $779.

“Eligible parents will be able to claim a 50 per cent rebate for up to $2,000 of education-related expenses for each child in secondary school.”

The pre-election promise also included a significant expansion of the types of expenses to which the rebate would apply.

Under the Coalition, eligible expenses will include: school fees, school camps and excursions, special education costs for children with disabilities, extra-curricular activities such as music, dance or drama lessons, tutoring costs, musical instruments required for lessons, school photos, sporting fees and equipment.

The Coalition has stated the expanded rebate would start from January 1, 2011 if it is elected to government.

“This means that eligible parents will be able to claim the rebate for expenses incurred for the next school year,” Henderson said.

Walk for the homelessA COMMUNITY walk to raise awareness of homelessness throughout the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Greater Geelong regions has been launched.

The event – known as Walking Home – will happen on November 13 this year along the Bellarine Rail Trail from Queenscliff to Geelong, with different start points along the trail for participants of all fitness levels.

City of Greater Geelong Mayor, John Mitchell, said Walking Home was a chance for the community to come together and “walk the talk” about homelessness.

“Homelessness is a tragic situation for anyone, and sadly it is more common than most people realise,” he said.

CoGG community development portfolio holder, councillor Kylie Fisher, said the event will help to bring the plight of homeless people to the community.

“Walking Home is all about raising

awareness so that the wider population understands the complexities and causes of homelessness in Australia, and more specifically in our region,” she said.

“Hopefully the increased understanding and awareness will lead to communities being better equipped and more willing to reach out and help those in need of shelter.”

Patron for the event, Frank Costa endorsed last year’s event as “an inspiring initiative that brings together service providers and communities across the Barwon South Western Region”.

Costa urged everyone throughout the region to support Walking Home 2010.

Last year’s event raised more than $20,000 towards shoes for homeless people in the region.

EVERYONE’S favourite Geelong forward, James Podsiadly, and former Cats’ star Billy Brownless have thrown their support behind the Bike Safe ‘Share the Road’ campaign.

The campaign – which aims to promote better behaviour by cyclists and motorists, encouraging everyone to obey the road rules and to show courtesy and respect – was officially launched late last month.

Podsiadly, who is a keen advocate for health and

fitness, was keen to point out the benefits of cycling, and said the initiative would help to promote riding among the community.

“Regular exercise, like cycling, improves cardio vascular fitness and can reduce the risk of diseases,” he said.

“Cycling is low impact on the body, helps muscle tone, improves bone mass and helps with personal weight management.

“Making our roads safer and improving behaviour

by all road users to one another, clearly encourages cyclists of all ages.

“People need to show a little patience and goodwill. Hopefully the authorities are doing their bit to improve our on-road infrastructure as well. Every little bit helps along the way.”

The ‘Share the Road’ campaign also highlights that under the road rules, bicycles are considered to be vehicles and have a right to be on the roads. Cyclists are legally allowed to ride two abreast and

at roundabouts may occupy the whole lane.In turn, cyclists must also obey all the road rules

and ride responsibly. In addition, both motorists and cyclists must not use a hand held mobile phone whilst driving or cycling.

The Bike Safe group was formed as a result of recent increases in poor behaviour towards cyclists, accidents and fatalities involving cyclists and motorists. Last year there were six cycling fatalities in Victoria – with two of those in our region.

Coalition pledge for Colac

Barwon Health unveils five-year plan

A FEDERAL Coalition government will commit $1.8million for student doctor accommodation at Colac Hospital, Liberal candidate for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, announced last week.

The pledge comes as the countdown to the August 21 federal election continues.

“The project comprises three high-quality units that will encourage students to fulfil their placement obligations at Colac Hospital,” Henderson (pictured) said.

“Once a student doctor has established a connection with the region they are more likely to return to Colac to fill the health professional positions this community so desperately needs.

“From the outset I have supported Colac Area Health’s push to gain $1.8million of Federal Government funding to build accommodation units for 14 students – medical students, nursing students and other allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and welfare workers.

“I am delighted a Coalition Government will deliver on

this commitment. “This will be of great benefit to the community and will serve

as the only comprehensive student accommodation for trainee doctors and allied heath professionals in the region.

“This funding is very important because it will help to combat doctor shortages throughout the Colac region, both in the short term and the long term.”

The announcement follows a series of meetings between Sarah Henderson and Colac Area Health and a recent visit by the Federal Shadow Minister for Health, Peter Dutton.

Colac Area Health has previously applied for Federal Government funding for the facility but was unsuccessful.

“Doctor shortages in the Colac Otway region is a very big issue,” Henderson said.

“The need for this accommodation is abundantly clear. It will nurture the next generation of doctors and other health professionals who will provide care to Colac and surrounding communities for many years to come.”

BARWON Health chief executive officer, Dr David Ashbridge, last week hosted a community forum to introduce the organisation’s five-year strategic plan.

The forum – held at the Royal Geelong Yacht Club – gave the community an opportunity to hear Barwon Health’s bold approach to providing first-class health care over the next five years and beyond.

The new strategic outlook, dubbed ‘at the heart of change’, took into account the views of staff, the board and the wider community when considering

and compiling the plan. The strategic direction of Barwon Health and

the values the organisation were discussed at the forum, while the presentation also focused on a commitment to managing the prevalence of chronic disease in the community.

So far the strategic plan has been rolled out to staff at six of Barwon Health’s major sites and at a business breakfast held last month.

Dr Ashbridge said he was looking forward to showcasing the new strategic direction to

the community. “The Barwon Health 2010-15 Strategic Plan has

been formed with particular emphasis on our five important values,” he said.

“The new values govern the way in which we relate with and care for our patients, our partners and the wider community across the Barwon region.

“This forum gives us an opportunity to share our future goals and plans with the wider community and showcase that Barwon Health is much more than an acute hospital.

“We provide a continuum of care to patients with a variety of different needs and will continue to do so over the coming years.

“We have created a plan that sets realistic goals for our organisation and applies to all areas and services across Barwon Health.

“So we are confident that the strategic direction of Barwon Health will fulfill the needs of the Geelong community now and into the future, and ultimately Barwon Health along with its partners, will build a healthier community.”

Walking for awareness

Cheeseman slams Coalition pledge

BY ELEANOR WOODS

PETER Bollen knows how crippling Parkinsons disease can be. When he was at his most ill, he could barely sit and hold a conversation.

The former Surf Coast Shire chief executive officer said that downing close to 30 tablets a day couldn’t stifle the illness and that simple things became mammoth tasks for the active community member.

“It took me some time to speak openly about having Parkinsons. I guess I was embarrassed and did not want to appear vulnerable,” Bollen said.

Now, having had deep brain stimulation surgery

to negate incorrect messages that the Parkinsons-affected brain sends, the 50-year-old has learned to live with the disease and is helping others do so too.

More than a decade on from his diagnosis, Bollen is an ambassador for Parkinsons Victoria and is encouraging Surf Coast residents to support fundraising and awareness initiatives.

Bollen is taking part in the Uniting Walk on Sunday, August 29 in Melbourne, and invites all to join in the walk for awareness.

Designed for individuals to raise funds to help the fight against Parkinsons, the walk has a symbolic meaning as sufferers of the disease experience movement disorder.

The four0kilometre walk on paved footpaths along the Yarra River in Melbourne begins at 11am and costs entrants $25.

The highest individual fundraiser for the event will win a gold service trip for two on the Indian Pacific between Perth and Sydney (either way) and anyone who raises more than $250 will go into the draw to win a trip for two to Hawaii.

Money raised goes towards supporting those living with Parkinsons and helping find a cure for the disease.

To register for the walk, visit www.unitywalk.com.au or do so on the day at Federation Square from 8.30am.

THE FULL impact of Tony Abbott’s proposal to cut after hours health services has been revealed, according to Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman.

Cheeseman said Abbott has pledged to cut the 24-hour GP helpline from July next year if the Coalition wins power, and that will have an effect on services.

“In Victoria, Tony Abbott’s cuts to after hours GP services mean cutting around 41,200 GP after hour services and 146,900 nurse triage services,” Cheeseman said.

“Tony Abbott’s cuts to after hours services would mean that a family whose child wakes up sick at night will be more likely to need to turn to our local emergency department.

“People visiting the area would not be able to call one national number for help and be linked with GP services in an unfamiliar place, so they would go to the emergency department as well – putting more pressure on our local hospital.”

Cheeseman said the Labor government is investing $417million to improve after hours care through a 24-hour helpline that can provide health advice over the phone.

The 24-hour helpline would be able to link Australians needing urgent attention with a GP or nurse at any time of the day or night – including on weekends.

Cheeseman said that as Health Minister, Abbott cut $1billion from Australia’s public hospitals and contributed to the doctor shortage across the country by capping GP training places.

“Tony Abbott has made it clear he will make more cuts to the health and hospitals services that Australians rely on,” Cheeseman said.

Ex-Surf Coast Shire chief executive offi cer, Peter Bollen, is calling Surf coasters to help raise awareness and funds for Parkinsons.

Tracey Watts is a director of Third Wave Group. This is an abridged version of their weekly Tidal Report which can be accessed at www.thirdwavegroup.com.au

THE SUCCESS or otherwise of fiscal stimulus as the saviour of the Australian economy has again created news this week.

Noted economist and avid ‘Keynesian’, Joseph Stiglitz, was in Australia and lauded the success of the Australian government’s extraordinarily large fiscal stimulus.

Extraordinarily large is perhaps an understatement. The OECD estimates that Australia’s stimulus package is the third largest behind the US and China.

The 2009 Mid Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook figures, however, shows that additional spending doubles Australia’s stimulus – making it the world’s largest.

The Stiglitz viewpoint is not universal. Tony Makin, professor of economics at Griffith University, disagrees wholeheartedly.

With the enormous levels of private debt in our economy, the rapid reduction in interest rates from 7.25 per cent in March 2008 to 3 per cent in April 2009 had a dramatic impact on domestic consumption.

Likewise, the free-fall in the Aussie dollar from 98 US cents in July 2008 to 60 US cents in October 2008, provided a cushioning for our economy that no government could engineer.

The danger is, that when the next downturn arrives, political pressure will demand a new round of wasteful spending be implemented and Australia will end up further in the red

Stimulus did not save us

WE ARE HERE

BY LEANNE POCOCK of the Investment Banking Institute

THE THOUGHT of entering a retirement village is daunting for most people. Questions arise about independence, mortality, friendships lost and other personal matters.

Good research should be undertaken before a move has to take place in order to overcome the wealth of matters that need attention to at that time.

The retirement village industry is highly regulated. Why? The reason is that people outside your family are dealing in family finances and

where there is money, there is the potential for fraud or mis-handling of funds.

Families often think of retirement villages and retirement as the end-game of financial planning. The truth is that financial planning is undertaken so that you can retire and keep financially strong and this is known as the ‘withdrawal phase’.

Today, there is no need to close a superannuation fund and buy investment products from life insurance companies (called annuities), as you can leave your superannuation savings in the super fund and draw them as required under certain rules.

An increasing number of families are relying on

advice from the retirement villages on how best to structure finances before a member takes residence. The retirement village, however, looks at the finances from only one perspective.

Banks and financial planners are becoming increasingly skilled in establishing plans.

As soon as you start to feel that mum or dad needs to think about a move to a retirement village, then you need to get a financial plan in place with particular attention to an estate plan. That way, when they are ready to move, you have been able to assure them about their finances and that is one less worry for them in a time of change.

Victorian rental market update

ACCORDING to the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s March Housing Affordability Report, Victorian rental homes are more affordable than in most other states and territories.

The affordability of rents is determined by comparing the proportion of family income needed to meet median rental payments.

In this year’s March quarter, 22.6 per cent of the average family income was required to meet the cost of a rental home in Victoria.

This compares favourably to the most expensive state, Tasmania, where 29.4 per cent is required. In New South Wales 27.4 per cent is required and in Queensland, 24.9 per cent.

There are only two states or territories where it is less expensive – Western Australia, where 21.9 per cent in required, and the ACT, where it’s a very affordable 16.6 per cent.

In every state or territory other than the Northern Territory it is more affordable to own than rent a home.

For instance, in Victoria 32.6 per cent of the average family income was required in the March quarter this year to meet loan repayments.

The affordability comparison does, however, obscure the more difficult problem with renting a home in Victoria: the incredibly low vacancy rate.

The vacancy rate remains unsustainably low for the same reason house prices have been increasing at an unsustainable rate: Victoria has far fewer homes than necessary to meet the needs of our growing population.

The response of State and Federal Governments to this problem is correct: fund more affordable rental homes and increase the number of approvals granted. However, far more is needed.

THE BOSS of Australia’s largest independently-owned mortgage broker believes the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) strongly supports a hold to the cash rate for at least the September quarter.

Michael Russell, chief executive officer of Mortgage Choice, said last week a rise in the CPI meant the Reserve Bank should maintain rates at their current level.

Regarded as Australia’s key measure of inflation,

CPI rose 0.6 per cent in the June quarter 2010, lifting the annual rate to 3.1 per cent, only just outside the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target range.

“The release of the Consumer Price Index shows core inflation is only nominally outside of the Reserve Bank’s two to three percent target band. With this, the bank has little reason to lift official interest rates at its August meeting,” Russell said.

“Many Australian home owners, investors and buyers-to-be are still adjusting to recently increased

interest rates. Those who are looking to enter the market also have to combat rising housing prices plus stricter lending conditions.

“Consumer sentiment is still volatile so the Reserve Bank needs to do all that it can to protect the positivity of Australians.

“We cannot risk any deterioration in the confidence of everyday consumers and business owners, which will in turn have a negative effect on the economy.”

THE STANDING of Aireys Inlet as a haven for investors and holiday-makers continued to surge over the last 12 months, following recent data released by PRDnationwide.

Aireys Inlet was the only non-metropolitan area to figure in the top 10 for growth in house prices over the past 12 months.

During this period – measured from March 2009 to March 2010 – house prices rose a massive 41.1 per cent, with the median price now standing at $670,000.

Jim Midgley, PRDnationwide managing director, said nine out of Victoria’s top 10 growth suburbs were located within 10 kilometres of the Melbourne CBD.

“Topping the list for best price growth was Kew – registering a whopping 52.8 per cent increase,” he said.

PRDnationwide research analyst, Dan O’Halloran, who produced the report, said South Yarra recorded the second highest price growth of 47.2 per cent, followed by Albert Park (42.6 per cent) and Canterbury (42 per cent).

“Bucking the inner-city trend for growth was Aireys Inlet,” O’Halloran said.

The research shows seven of Victoria’s top 10 suburbs for median price growth recoded a median sale price figure greater than $1,000,000.

“The majority of these suburbs also saw a major decline in median sale price throughout the market

downturn in 2008,” O’Halloran said.“This large slip, accompanied by a following

spike in the median, has attributed significantly to the suburbs apparent soaring median sale price.”

O’Halloran said as confidence began to return to the Victorian market, home buyers had taken advantage of the emergency low interest rates throughout last year, enticing them to spend more and buy in the higher price bracket real estate markets.

The unit market outperformed the housing market, with Abbotsford achieving the highest growth rate, with a staggering 74.2 per cent growth in the median sale price throughout the 12 month period ending March 31 2010.

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’ CONT.: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938The deckhouse now assumed a new role. The history of the Joseph H Scammell, and the seaside cottage “Scammell House” in Pride St, Torquay. The scroll-work of the wrecked ship’s quarterdeck is retained as ornamentation on the verandah, and many fittings bear the ship’s inscriptions. The narrow door gives ingress and egress to the old saloon, the living room on the lower floor of this double decker cottage. Portholes provide light in the north & south walls. All available fittings and timbers were secured from the wreckage to fit out the cottage. Some relics were stolen, but the atmosphere of the ‘ Joseph H. Scammell ervades the building.

MARKET UPDATEWe can again report excellent sales volumes & results from your dedicated sales team. A record land sale in Jan Juc & top results in home sales have been achieved over the cooler months. There has also been several exceptional sales in the rural area in and around Bellbrae / Bells Beach. The market remains buoyant across all sectors & we are seeing time on the market decreasing whilst prices across the board continue to escalate.

THE COMING MONTHSStock levels have remained constant for the last few months after a dramatic drop in availabilities as we moved out of the effects of the GFC late 2009.Despite the cooler weather enquiry is strong though naturally numbers around town are down. As buyer confidence continues to improve we see further decreases in stock levels which can only impact positively on prices.

PROPERTY REPORTS If you are considering selling we would be pleased to view your property at a time convenient to yourselves and provide a current market appraisal and report.Our report will include recent sales, availabilities, market conditions and options for marketing and selling programs.

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


FOR more than 60 years, Simonds has been building a better life for Victorians. As times change and builders come and go, Simonds’ commitment to quality workmanship, innovative design and affordability has seen them become Victoria’s leading homebuilder.

Simonds’ Product Development Manager, Bill Giannikos, said that “Victorian families love living in Simonds homes”.

“Our homes set us apart. We call them Living Homes because they are truly built for living. I urge prospective homebuyers to visit our display centres in Newcomb, Lara or Torquay and see them for themselves”.

Our homes have great living spaces, generous bedrooms and all of the features you’d expect. There is also a range of upgrade options available, so people can fit the homes to their lifestyle.

“When you visit our display centres, our friendly consultants will make you feel welcome, and you’ll quickly see why Victorians love living in our homes.”

“The other thing that sets Simonds apart is their commitment of being right alongside people during the homebuilding journey”,

says Bill Giannikos.“We listen to people, answer any

questions they have and guide them through the process from start to finish. It’s this commitment along with our quality homes that sees more Victorians choose Simonds than any other homebuilder.”

Simonds Display Centres are open seven days a week, Monday to Friday 12pm – 5pm and Saturday to Sunday 11am – 5pm. For more information give us a call or visit www.simonds.com.au

HAMLAN Homes has forged a name as specialists when it comes to designs for sloping blocks.

One of the recent innovative designs that Hamlan Homes has created to work with sloping and elevated blocks minimises site costs while maximising views.

The Arlington 192 LS is now on display in the Arlington Rise Estate at Portarlington, and is a sensational exhibition of the views Hamlan’s split-level designs are capable of achieving.

The intelligent design splits the home with convenient, short flights of stairs connecting the three levels.

Situated on the middle floor is the spacious master featuring full ensuite and walk-through robe, and adjacent to this is the internal access to the double garage.

The ground floor features a further two bedrooms, both with BIRs, central bathroom and laundry, as

well as the rumpus room – a great space for the kids. This leads out to a gorgeous entertaining area, with cover provided by the deck above.

The first floor comprises a light, bright open-plan living and dining area, leading out through a wall of windows to the timber deck.

The gourmet kitchen features stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, including a 900mm freestanding oven among many other features.

The display – built from brick and matrix cladding with a Colorbond roof – the home also features Hamlan’s ‘Platinum Package’ designer specification upgrade which, for a fraction of the price, includes plenty of added extras.

To view the Arlington 192 LS, visit 6 The Rise, Arlington Rise Estate, Portarlington. The display is open weekends from 1pm-5pm.

NATIONAL Builders Group have made a structural framing breakthrough, offering the most superior and environmentally friendly structural house framing option exclusively to customers at no extra charge.

National Builders Group offer termite protected ‘blue’ timber framing to the whole house and all load bearing outer walls are framed with 90mm x 45mm studs at 450mm centres, giving greater strength and reliability and are totally vermin proof.

The great thing about the National Builders Group termite protected ‘blue’ timber framing is that the treatment process involves the application of organic insecticides, safe and widely used in household consumer products, which are safe to handle and pose no significant threat to humans, plants and animals, but are toxic to termites.

This offers the opportunity for National Builders to provide a 25-year structural guarantee to customers – some conditions may apply.

National Builders Group recognises that structural framing is made from

natural timber grown and harvested from managed renewable plantation pine. As a result the following benefits apply:• No rainforest timber or endangered

species are used• Plantation timbers grow on solar

energy• Timber absorbs and reduces

greenhouse gases.That’s right, trees absorb greenhouse

gases during growth while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere whilst storing carbon.

These timbers require low energy for growth and production, transport and installation.

So, there you have it, National Builders Group provides the very best of structural integrity within your new home in an environmentally friendly manner.

And that’s not all – National Builders Group also offer a long list of ultra-premium inclusions with no extra charge.

To find out more, visit 16 Ironbark Street, Waurn Ponds, phone 5241 8355 or go to www.nationalbuilders.com.au

Building & ConstructionTuesday 3 August 2010 67

WARRALILY at Armstrong Creek continues to establish itself as the location of choice for buyers with sales at Geelong’s newest community off to a flying start.

Following the success of the first land release in June that saw all home sites sold out in just one day, the second stage was recently brought forward due to high buyer demand and is now on the verge of selling out too.

Warralily sales and marketing manager, Crystall Mousios, said the strong sales results were indicative of the interest in the development.

“People are excited about the opportunity of

being a part of a master planned community that will incorporate walking and cycling trails, parks, green open spaces, shops and community facilities,” she said.

“The location is also attractive to buyers who are seeking the sought after coastal lifestyle with all the benefits of being close to Geelong’s CBD and waterfront, as well as the Ring Road to Melbourne.”

Mousios said that Warralily will cater to the needs of all life stages with the range of residential lot sizes and housing options, from detached family homes to medium density housing close to community hubs.

“We’ve had a mix of young families, retirees and

couples buying land but there is a skew towards buyers in the 25-35 year old age bracket,” Mousios said.

“Most of our buyers are also second or subsequent home buyers who have identified Warralily as being a community that will provide them with everything they need from location to lifestyle.”

The new Warralily community will begin to take shape with civil construction expected to begin this month.

For more information please visit the Warralily Sales Office at 259 Charlemont Road, Connewarre, (Melways reference 480 E3), phone 1300 661 719 or visit www.warralily.com.au

A rendered image of what the Warralily community will look like once developed.

Warralily hits the mark • Warralily is just a 10-minute drive to Torquay, the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong. Melbourne is only a 50-minute drive with access to the new Geelong Ring Road only a few minutes away.

• Warralily will have a distinct environmental focus with existing conservation reserveas protected and rejuvenated to their natural form.

• The reinvigorated Armstrong Creek will act as the centrepiece of Warralily’s walking tracks and central landscaping features with nine kilometres of creek frontage.

• There will be seven football ovals; three soccer ovals, 11 netball courts, 18 tennis courts, lawn bowls facilities, designated open space areas, a multi-purpose stadium and four pavilions included as part of the three active recreational areas within Warralily.

• One third of Warralily is dedicated to open space, meaning that the majority of homes will be within 400 metres of a local park, playground or sporting reserve.

• A future retail centre will be within easy access for all Warralily residents including attractive streetscape with a diverse range of shops, supermarkets, cafes and dining and plenty of nearby parking.

• Warralily already includes Geelong Lutheran College which opened its junior and senior campus (P-8) in 2009. Three additional schools are proposed for the community.

• Telecommunication technology, including state of the art fibre optics, will be available to every Warralily home to ensure residents stay connected via high speed broadband and cable television capabilities.

• Sustainable living is a key feature of Warralily with the inclusion of infrastructure to provide Class A recycled water to all homes.

• Vline trains service Armstrong Creek via Marshall Station, which is only a seven minute drive from Warralily.

Find it all at Front BeachBY NATHAN HALE

TIMES are a changing at Torquay’s favourite Esplanade eatery, Front Beach Café.

While Steve Christou and his staff will continue to provide the same friendly and welcoming service, a few noticeable changes have been occurring behind the scenes.

A new menu is the biggest change, as Steve and his chefs look to revamp and freshen up the dishes on offer.

“It has been 12 months since we have changed the menu so we thought it was time to have a look at it and give it a bit of a freshen up,” Steve said.

“Our eye fillet is pretty unique and it has been one of our signature dishes – it will be the first time in two-and-a-half years that it has changed.”

The eye fillet will now be served wrapped in bacon with olive tapenade, smashed potatoes, roasted truss tomato, broccolini and red wine jus.

Other items on the menu sure to become quickfire favourites include the pan fried duck breast, roasted stuffed capsicum, while the ever-popular seafood feast for two remains.

And move over fish-and-chip Friday; Front Beach Fridays will be known as curry night.

Following on from the success of the curries during the popular locals nights, the dishes will now be offered on a regular slot on Friday nights.

“We have been doing the curries on our Wednesday locals nights and

they have been really well accepted,” Steve said.

“So we have decided to make Friday night curry night and there will be a couple of dishes on offer each week.

“They should prove a good winter warmer.”

Not one to forget those who love their breakfast, Front Beach now has pancakes on offer from Monday to Friday until 12pm.

And for those who enjoy top-class beers, Front Beach is also proud to have leading Japanese beer, Asahi, on tap.

Asahi will complement Front Beach’s other beers on tap – Carlton Draught, Pure Blonde and Fat Yak – as well as a range of national and international bottled beers.

“We are really pleased to have been able to get such an exclusive beer as Asahi on tap,” Steve said.

“We have been trying for a while and to get it is great – we think it will prove really popular with customers.”

Apart from the new additions to the menu and drinks on offer, Front Beach has also made some internal changes, and there are plans afoot to make external changes as well.

Front Beach Café is open 9.30am-late Monday to Friday and from 9am-late Saturday and Sunday, with bookings essential.

For more information on Front Beach Café, drop into 16 The Esplanade, Torquay, phone 5261 9752 or visit www.frontbeachcafe.com.au

McMonagle’s award-winning The happy song.

MELBOURNE artist Tim McMonagle has been awarded the Geelong Gallery’s prestigious 2010 Fletcher Jones art prize.

The prize, valued at $30,000, was awarded to McMonagle for his work titled The happy song.

The announcement was made by ABC TV’s Fenella Kernebone – presenter of the show, Art Nation – at the gallery’s exhibition opening

Forty-three works were selected for the 2010 Fletcher Jones art prize from almost 900 entries submitted by artists from around Australia.

In commending the work of short-listed artists, Geelong Gallery director, Geoffrey Edwards, hailed this as “very likely the most vital and provocative prize exhibition we’ve hosted for some years”. “Certainly, it’s the largest field we’ve shown for some while. With the range of visual reference from classic abstraction to colonial appropriation and on to a fresh and spontaneous style of imagery that might be dubbed ‘Facebook naturalism’, the 2010 prize exhibition encapsulates many of the current directions and concerns in contemporary painting in Australia.”

Guest judge for the 2010 prize was Max Delany, director of the Monash University Museum of Art, who was joined by Edwards and Geelong Gallery curator Lisa Sullivan.

Inspired by the languid demeanour of a homeless woman observed by the artist while on a residency in New York in 2008-09, McMonagle’s painting depicts a dishevelled, barefoot figure reclining on a vast and

bulbous mound representing her worldly possessions.Discarded high heel shoes and a plastic drinking cup are

positioned in the foreground – symbols of the consumer culture from which she is seemingly displaced.

Reminiscent of the social satire of 18th and early-19th century British artists such as William Hogarth, Thomas Rowlandson and James Gillray, McMonagle’s ‘dream-like’ composition offers a contemporary parallel to the social commentaries of these earlier artists.

Using the square format that has become a signature of the artist’s practice, the work is rendered in a severe mono-tonal palette, the sepia tint emphasising McMonagle’s strong drafting skills. Thick impastoed paint, juxtaposed with light, almost scumbled passages test the possibilities of the oil medium.

McMonagle is represented in a number of significant public collections including Artbank, National Gallery of Victoria, Newcastle Region Art Gallery, Monash University Museum of Art, The University of Melbourne Art Collection, as well as private collections in Australia and abroad.

This is the first work by McMonagle to enter the Geelong Gallery’s permanent collection and will be an excellent addition to the existing holdings of contemporary Australian paintings.

The exhibition of selected paintings at the gallery continues until September 12.

The gallery is located at Little Malop Street, Geelong, and is open from 10am-5pm with free entry.

Brewed for thought…NOW HERE is a serious beer… or three, (sip)… a‘quiet’ ale, soft and alluring, (sip), a thoughtful beer that allows ones thoughts to gently meander and dream along until, (sip)…? Refreshing (sip)… Ahhh!A beer to ponder over as it slides down leaving you marveling at the skill of the maker and his craft – how does he do it? (Sip), no, it makes you want to discuss and dissect the merits of micro-brewing, (slurp)… nay, you may even want to debate the quality vs quantity argument (a foregone conclusion I would tender), (slurp), actually, I think I’ll just write copious notes on these as I’m quite warming to their mellifluous liquid attractions, (bigger words = bigger sips…gulp)…Articulation, yes, that’s right, that’s what they require, why, how else can one begin to describe such complexities without resorting to a finer, more detailed analysis? (Gulp) Maybe I’ll get all prosaic about them? (Glug)… hang on a minute, (as I then woof it down!) what am I saying? Its just beer isn’t it? …well isn’t it?? Of course not! Ok, time to get on with the story then…

Head Brewer Luke Scott started out as a trained chemical engineer working with Fosters and quite naturally ‘caught the bug’, which lead him to work in the UK with a number of smaller breweries making all sorts of exotic concoctions whilst traveling to Europe to further his education by ‘researching’ the beers of France, Germany and Belgium.Eventually, he arrived back in Australia where he ended up working for Potters Brewery in the Hunter Valley for five years, but the Melbourne raised boy had a hankering to get back down Victoria way which saw him land a dream job as head brewer at Otway Estate.Here, Luke’s given free reign to ‘go for it’ and create an exciting range of micro brews which have already won awards and drawn high acclaim. The Prickly Moses range of beers have gained strong support among beer enthusiasts, but it’s the Belgian and French inspired trilogy of farmhouse beers that’s really allowing Luke to spread his beer making wings.More akin to fine wine in style (and should be approached and appreciated in like manner), these beers made from the pure rain waters of the Otways are turning fine beer appreciation on its head… food, or should I say ‘brewed’ for thought indeed…

Prickly Moses ‘Reserve de Otway’ 750ml ($12)A velvety smooth ‘Biere de Guarde’ style showing a classic rich dark chocolate mouth full of malty flavour with complexity, balance and fantastic length on the finish. Luke reckons this is best served with a Cuban cigar! 6.8% alcohol.

Prickly Moses ‘Saison 2010’ 750ml ($12)‘Saison’ is a unique blend of four different yeast strains including a red wine yeast that all combines to produce quite a strong (7.2% alcohol) dry and tart golden beer that once again shows a lovely balance of flavours. This can be aged to develop further character and complexity.

Prickly Moses ‘Farmhouse Ale’ 750ml ($12)Such a beautiful looking beer in the glass, this strong golden ale is so smooth and full with loads of mouth filling flavours and complexity. More like a meal in a glass with rich malty character and fine balance and length on the finish.

Pizza for breakfast?Count on Bomboras

EVERYONE loves pizza – and everyone loves having a relaxing breakfast, especially when the cooking is done for you.

So Bomboras are now bringing pizza and breakfast lovers the ideal offering – breakfast pizzas!

The initiative kicked off last weekend and proved a hit for those looking to satisfy their craving for an early morning pizza fix.

“Everyone loves eating out for breakfast and everyone loves pizza, so we thought ‘why not combine the two?’,” said Bomboras’ Tom McGrath.

“We are not typically known as a breakfast venue, I suppose, so we thought it was something worth a try.”

The normal Bomboras’ breakfast menu will remain available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but for those more adventurous, why not try some of the following pizza offerings:

Benedict: Spinach, bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce;

Sunrise breakfast pizza: Egg, kransky sausage, bacon and tomato;

Big break pizza: Egg, kransky sausage, bacon, tomato, mushroom and spinach;

So-far unnamed: Bolognese sauce, capsicum, onion and hash browns.

And it’s not just your breakfast needs that Bomboras have covered; their popular Shank and Shiraz promotion on Wednesday nights continues to prove popular.

What better way to warm up on a chilly winter’s

night than with two succulent lamb shanks washed down with a glass of Shiraz – all for the bargain price of $20?

Apart from looking after your culinary needs, Bomboras – located on the Surf Coast Highway in Torquay – has just launched its new website.

At the click of a mouse people can view the website – www.bomboras.com.au – and find out the story behind Bomboras; discover more about functions that can be held at the venue and view the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, as well as look at the extensive wine list.

“It has taken us two years to get the website up,” said McGrath.

“But it is something that we needed to do and it has all our menus up there. We often have people come in and say ‘do you have a website?’ so now we can say yes.

“People can have a look and see the menus and it shows off the place a little more.”

Apart from soothing hungry souls for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Bomboras can also host functions for up to 130 people.

And if you have a function coming up at home, Bomboras can supply the food.

Bomboras is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 4.30pm-late; Wednesdays and Thursdays 11am-3pm and 4.30pm-late; and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-late.

For more information visit www.bomboras.com.au

Sing and dance for funding Students set to shineLOCAL community groups that foster dance and music throughout the Surf Coast and Bellarine are being called on to nominate for their share in available funding.

From ballet to ballroom and choirs to hip hop, groups are invited to put their hands up for a share of the Telstra Assistance Fund for the first time.

Telstra Area general manager Geelong and Surf Coast, Jodi Manion, is delighted to see the programme expand to include dance and music community groups.

“We understand that not everyone is into sport, and we have extended the fund to include more people in our community who enjoy different ways of getting active and meeting people,” Manion said.

“Through these equipment grants, we can assist people of all ages to get involved in the enjoyment, fellowship and health benefits that come from music and dance.”

Grants for dance groups are open to eligible groups from within the regions visited by this year’s tour of The Dancers Company – The Australian Ballet’s annual regional touring group.

Proudly supported by Telstra, The Australian Ballet’s principal sponsor, the 2010 tour brings a brand new production of the ballet classic Don Quixote to 13 locations across Australia.

Artistic director of The Dancers Company, Danilo Radojevic, said The Australian Ballet aims to make

ballet more accessible to regional communities around Australia.

“With The Dancers Company we’re bringing the magic of classical dance to people who don’t live in major capital cities,” he said.

“The Telstra Assistance Fund is a great initiative – it’s fantastic that we can leave a lasting legacy in each community we visit this year.”

The music category is open to eligible groups within 400 kilometres of the 12 Telstra Road to Tamworth heats taking place across Australia from July to November this year.

The Telstra Road to Tamworth is a national talent development programme which travels around Australia each year to uncover independent performers and songwriters from all corners of the country.

Since 2003, the Telstra Assistance Fund has provided more than $7million worth of equipment grants to more than 5,700 community and sporting clubs across Australia. This year Telstra is extending the fund to include new groups that help people connect with one another, and help bind our communities.

To apply, eligible community groups can visit www.ideasforgood.com.au/taf, choose the most appropriate equipment package for their group and identify how the package would benefit the group.

SCHOOLS from throughout the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast will take centre stage at Geelong Performing Arts Centre next week for the Geelong Schools Music and Movement Festival.

From next Tuesday until Friday, schools will take part in the festival, which is being held as part of GPAC’s Bendigo Community Banks Education Programme.

Now in its 64th year, the festival gives students the opportunity to shine as they sing, dance and perform in rock bands and orchestras on The Playhouse stage.

For many students, the festival ignites an ongoing love of the performing arts and for many schools, it is a celebration of the creativity that exists within the school community.

GPAC is pleased to announce the return of VicRoads as a major sponsor in presenting this historic, much-loved event.

“The support from VicRoads ensures maximum participation from local students and the ongoing viability of the event,” said GPAC general manager, Jill Smith.

“VicRoads’ sponsorship of the 64th GSMMF recognises the important role the performing arts plays in the community and ensures GPAC

can continue to provide this opportunity for our talented young people.”

Local student Brodie McCoy is one of many in the region who have gained confidence and enjoyment through GPAC’s Education Programme activities.

“We’ve learnt pretty much how theatre works, what it’s like backstage and actually performing on a stage, and just gained a lot of experience out of it all,” Brodie said.

“I actually love acting, I’ve only discovered that this year, but I would love to work in the industry.”

The festival will showcase a variety of acts from 38 schools as young people from throughout the region come together to perform on The Playhouse stage for friends, family and fellow students.

Students from Surfside, Anglesea, Wallington and Drysdale primary schools, as well as the Lorne P-12 Campus, will be among those performing on The Playhouse stage across the four-day festival.

Performances will take place from Tuesday through until Friday and tickets to all sessions are just $5 each and are available from the GPAC box office, phone 5225 1200.

GRINSPOON has announced it will play Geelong’s Eureka Hotel in September as part of its huge regional tour.

The regional tour is part of the band’s Six To Midnight Tour – which promotes their sixth studio album of the same name, with the Geelong appearance penciled in for Wednesday, September 15.

The Eureka Hotel appearance will include performances from special guests Amy Meredith and The Snowdroppers.

Six To Midnight was an immediate hit when released late last year, debuting at number four in the ARIA charts and winning mountains of praise from fans and reviewers alike.

The first two singles Comeback and Summer, and the latest single, Premonitions, have received huge reactions, gaining high rotation on most major television and radio stations

Overwhelmed by demand to play shows in regional areas, the band decided to undertake a regional tour of Tasmania, the ACT, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Legendary US producer Rick Will (Johnny Cash, No Doubt) was behind Six To Midnight’s production and mixing duties, and has delivered one of Grinspoon's finest records to date.

The band returned to their spiritual home town of Byron Bay to record the album, which helped them capture their affinity for a good, live, hard rock record – something the band really wanted to achieve.

The filmmaking competition, run by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is open to school-aged students enrolled in primary and secondary education around Australia.

More than 160 school groups and individual entrants from around Australia have already registered to take part in this year’s challenge.

Registration is free and there are less than eight weeks to enter as entries close at 5pm on Friday, September 17.

Screen It's young filmmakers learn about interesting topics by researching current issues such as this year's theme, The Environment. Who Cares?, which has been designed to resonate with Australian students, particularly

their concern about the state of the environment and issues of global sustainability. It also coincides with the International Year of Biodiversity, declared by the United Nations.

For teachers, this is a great addition to the curriculum, developing skills in the areas of filmmaking, creative thinking, team work, research techniques and presentation tricks.

Of course, it wouldn't be a competition without great prizes (including a state-of-the-art portable projector from Mitsubishi Electric for the primary and secondary schools with the best overall entries), and the rewards extend to being featured at the annual awards ceremony in Melbourne and having work showcased online and to visitors of ACMI via the Australian Mediatheque.

BY DR MARK YEE

DENTAL disease is the most common infection seen in pets.

In fact, 80 per cent of dogs and 70 per cent of cats over the age of three have some form of oral disease, and this is often not found until the animal has spent some time in pain.

Symptoms of dental disease in dogs and cats include:• Yellow and brown build-up of tartar along the gum line• Red and inflamed gums• Persistent bad breath.

Periodontal disease is a painful condition where bacteria in the mouth attack the gums, tissues and bones that support the teeth. This can result in other problems including tooth decay, bleeding gums and even tooth loss.

Bacteria that cause periodontal disease enter the bloodstream and over time, damage the heart, liver, kidney and lungs. The consequences of this can include heart disease and kidney failure.

The key message of this year’s Pet Dental Health Month is that ‘Healthy teeth mean a healthy pet’.

So how can you help your pet to avoid this painful condition?

In the month of August, Torquay Animal House Vet Clinic is offering your pet a free pet dental check up.

We will check your pet’s teeth and gums and advise on the appropriate treatment for the dental disease that may be present – or how to avoid it.

We can advise home dental care for your pet. This may involve daily teeth cleaning with special pet toothpaste, dental treats and prescription dental diets and feeding of raw meaty bones.

For some pets, peridontal disease will be already well-established. In these cases, anaesthesia is performed to permit a full scale and polish of the teeth, with extractions of infected teeth if required.

Every pet that has a free dental health check at Torquay Animal House will also get a complimentary sample of Royal Canin Dental diet and go into the draw to win a home dental care pack for your dog or cat.

Call Torquay Animal House on 5261 6486 to make an appointment.

Dr Mark Yee is a vet at the Torquay Animal House Veterinarian Clinic and Hospital.

With a name like Yukon, you would think this Hungarian Vizsla would be used to the colder winter weather. Named after the westernmost territory in Canada, Yukon, is always prepared for whatever weather conditions might come his way in his Driza-bone dog coat.

Dr Mark Yee of the Torquay Animal House Veterinarian Clinic and Hospital cleans the teeth of his canine companion, Mac, a kelpie blue heeler cross.

MOON RIVER WEEKLY STARS

Attention rambunctious Rams – boisterous, bossy behaviour will get you into trouble this week, especially at work. You’re ambitious for success but think twice before you challenge authority figures and arouse the opposition of colleagues. Diplomacy is not your natural forte, but it’s exactly what you need at the moment.

If you are being jealous and possessive, then your partner (or potential partner) may decide that being single and free is much more fun. Is it time to change your attitude and give your lover a lot more space? As birthday great Andy Warhol said “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change things yourself.”

Are you trying to get closer to a teenager but they are pushing you away? Patience (not one of your virtues) is the key. Avoid the temptation to be a gossipy Gemini this week. If you pass on information that was given to you in confidence, you may end up feeling foolish and friendless. Zip your lip and find something constructive to do!

You may be thrust into the spotlight at work. Keep your cool Cancer! Jupiter is giving you a confidence boost so polish up your professional persona. With no less than six tricky transits, Saturday will be a difficult day so perhaps you should give it a miss and stay in bed. Things improve on Sunday, when you’ll feel more social and settled.

Leos are proud people who love to pontificate, but heaps of hubris will land you in heaps of hot water this week. If you are too full of yourself, others will cut you down to size. Try a little humble humility instead! Venus moves into your communication zone on Saturday which favours conversation, companionship and co-operation.

Financial matters are on your mind and your favourite word at the moment is ‘thrifty’. If someone else is managing your money, then make sure you have your finger on the pulse and know exactly what’s going on. If you can balance rational reasoning with intuitive insights, then you’ll have a surprisingly satisfying and successful week.

Venus (your ruling planet) vamps into your sign on Saturday, which usually signals a time of heightened romance. But Uranus throws a curved ball into your love zone, and a relationship heads off in an unexpected direction. It will be hard to balance your need for constant companionship with your partner’s need for independence.

Thinking you have all the answers could attract an angry response from others. Compromise will get you a lot further than confrontation. With the Sun shining in your career zone, all eyes are on you at work. So make sure you are putting on a good show! If you’re looking for employment, cast your net far and wide.

Keep your ego (and enthusiasm) in check this week. If you impulsively jump on your Sagittarian high horse, you’ll arouse the opposition of others. Friends and finances are also a messy mix at the moment, so try to keep the two separate. Spontaneous shenanigans could backfire, so take the time to think things through.

Moderation and compromise are what’s needed this week Capricorn. A condescending attitude will only lead to a fraction too much friction, especially with work mates or family members. It’s the ideal time to repair, restore or rebuild something at home. Don’t expect everyone to like the finished product though!

With Venus, Mars and Saturn activating your aspirations zone, it’s time to dream big dreams for the future. They won’t materialize overnight though - you need to be patient and persistent. Be inspired by Barack Obama (born August 4) “It’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”

Impulse buys now could lead to serious problems later on. So avoid making major purchases or important financial decisions, as you may be biting off more than you can comfortably chew. In the present economic climate, slow and steady wins the money race. Pay attention to your dreams – are they trying to tell you something?

ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB WITH MARGOT SMITH

JUST when we thought that the ground was starting to dry out and we might get a bit of run, or at least not have the ball drop into a massive puddle, it starts raining again. And those bad rounds can longer be dismissed as point one. How closely are you having to watch your top 10 scores?

SWDLGA clinicAnglesea hosted a SWDLGA clinic on Monday for a large contingent of ladies. Many thanks to Jason and Kane for their tips and guidance. Judging by the comments on the web a few of the lucky attendees have used those tips to great effect. While you might not have attended, the notes are all available on the SWDLGA website.

Midweek roundsIt was cold on Wednesday but not too wet and the men posted some reasonable scores. Alan Parton won the seniors event with 39 points. Keith Turner had the best score for the day with 41 points winning A grade. Regular visitor Chris Gowans won B grade

with 40 points on a countback from Kent Taylor. Paul Johnston won C grade. also with 40 points. NTPs were Allan Smith, Peter Hester, Matt Carboon and Wayne Pipe.

It was the age day for the ladies on Thursday with the under, under and over competitions. Janice Calvert had the best score for the day, winning the younger of the two unders with 38 points. Sue Caldwell won the older under, having just tipped over with a recent birthday, with 34 points, and Judy Clark won the over with 30 points. NTPs were Judy Talbot, Lyn Thompson, Anne Mangan and Lynne Wheal.

One of the cleaner members of the club managed to build up a bit of good luck. She seemed to have been in the way of one of our feathered friends with an upset tummy, and to cap that off managed to fall on the mud. I’m sure she’ll be tidied up by the time she next plays!

Weekend eventsSaturday was the day to play, with good scores all round. Jan Stewart won the ladies’ event with 3 up.

Don Callaghan won C grade with the day’s best score of 6 up and birthday boy Stuart Leigh was runner up with 3 up. Toby Cummings won A grade on a countback from Alan Baker, and Leon Beattie won B grade, all scoring square. NTPs were Tony Tobler, Peter Atherden, Phil Warne and Lynton Rowe and Darren Turner cleaned out the eagles nest with his 8th hole.

Sunday was the 48th annual Buninyong/Anglesea challenge. The day started OK, but soon deteriorated, with only occasional glimpses of sunshine and a couple of rainbows. Buninyong won this year, with a nine-point buffer. Best scores for Anglesea were Peter Calvert with 37 points and Mrs Shaw with 33 points. For Buninyong it was John Kerr with 36 points and Brigita Stubbs with 32 points. NTPs were Sue Britnell, John Kerr, Kate Donkers and Toby Cummings.

Sunday of next weekend is guests’ day for the club and hopefully things will be a bit drier. On the following Saturday, we have the fundraising day for the surf club.

TORQUAY GOLF CLUB WITH CHRIS BARR

THE NEWS from the council is out and all the information is in the club newsletter, which is available at the clubhouse.

Nathan has also sent members an e-mail of both the newsletter and the RACV media release. Please take the time to read this information and remember President Greg is only at the end of the phone if you have any queries.

With the news of storm-water catchment being approved, the committee can finally report some action will be seen on course. Temporary greens and new dams are about to be started.

Golf week is the biggest item on our agenda and we are confident we will not be inconvenienced too much by the new works. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Great Ocean Road Real Estate, plans are well under way and entry forms will be out soon so get busy and plan your games.

The course is magnificent at the moment and

scores have been very good. Dean Pearce with 43 points had the score of the day on Wednesday and was the B-grade winner. Ron Haberle had 41 to win A grade and Barry Hewitt had 39 to win C grade on a count back. Kevin Moody picked up the jackpot and NTP’s went to Dean Pearce, Bob Hayes, Ashley McCormack and John Angus.

Not to be outdone, the Saturday players were on fire with 24 players on the plus side playing par. Noel Jeffery’s +7 was the best of the day. Divisional winners were Tim Sinnot, Noel Jeffery, Robert Speakman and Alan Foss. The jackpot went to Eric Black and NTP’s went to Jason Richards, Peter Mahoney, Trevor Bell and Richard Pekin.

From the LadiesSeveral of the ladies were invited to a coaching clinic run by the SWDLGA at Anglesea recently. Funded by a grant from the Golf Vic foundation and hosted

by the Anglesea Golf Club, it was a wonderful day and results were obvious when this week at least three participants were collecting prizes.

We have a guests’ day coming up on August 17 and the whole district is getting ready for our girls to launch a challenge in the Division 1 of the Country teams. The district team will be named at Country team’s day on August 20 at Curlewis, and the title hunt begins at Sanctuary Lakes on August 30.

Helen Casey won the nine-hole comp this week. Pamela Brewin won the jackpot and Ntps went to Sandy Kennedy, Kendra Caldwell and Ainsley. Wendy Poyner won Div 4 with 42 points. Sue Booth picked up Div 3 with 37 pts Leslie Grebe was back in top form, winning Div 2 with 41 pts and in Div 1 Carole Mayne headed the list.

Helen Paull was the best of the Saturday girls with +3. Pam Treble, Jill Chick and Ronnie Beacom picked up NTPs.

THE SANDS GOLF CLUB WITH THE PRO SHOP

WHAT a wonderful sight to see two pennant flags flying at the club following the Geelong and District Golf Association finals at the weekend. Congratulations to all involved with the Division 1 and 3 teams who were the victors on Sunday.

After a night of apprehension about the weather, the day dawned with blue skies, although there was a strong westerly and it was freezing!

Division 3 showed why they were the hot favourites, defeating Barwon Valley five matches to nil. Congratulations to all the players who represented the team during the season. On the day, the victorious team was Peter Chappell (captain), Barry Tippett, James Eccles, Rod Brown and Luke Muller.

The Division 1 final against 13th Beach was a nail-biting affair, with The Sands eventually prevailing four matches to three. The final produced some wonderful golf from all players, which the spectators appreciated. While the golf was hot, the weather was not!

Well done to Craig Corker and his team of

Deyen Lawson, Ben Eccles, Andrew Field, Peter Babiolaskis, Matt Bruce and Tim Jarman.

Special mention to team managers Cam Muller and Ray Hocking who had the difficult jobs of selecting the teams from a wonderful pool of talent at the club.

Men’s competitionThose hitting off in the morning for the Wednesday comp had the best of the conditions, while the afternoon players had to battle continual rain but came in with the best scores. Jim Demetrius, who has been knocking on the door for some weeks, finally had a win on a countback from Brett Jones. David Mallet won NTP on the 7th while Dean Bernasconi took the honours on the 13th.

A large field played on Saturday despite the weather forecast and some terrific scores were carded. Matt Bruce won A grade with 37 points off a handicap of 1 while Ian Davis won B grade with 38 points. The par 3 specialist Barry Tippet won NTP on the 5th while John Booker was closest on the 7th. On

the back nine, John Williamson won NTP on the 13th and Peter Gray the 17th.Women’s competitionThick fog greeted the girls on Thursday and a small field rugged up for the par event. Carol McDonald was the winner with a great score of 3 up, while Heather Smith was runner-up with 2 up. Deb Hocking won NTP on the 7th and Sue Browne on the 13th.

On Saturday, the women played a stableford event with Deb Hocking winning with 29 points.

Future EventsThe Torquay Football Club will hold its major annual fundraiser at The Sands on Sunday. A great day is always ensured with plenty of entertainment provided by the competitors as the Tigers try to tame the course!

A reminder that the black-tee visitor day will be held on Saturday, August 14. Members may bring up to three guests for the reduced rate of $35.

Happy golfing and enjoy the flags!

For the past few months, there has been a continual battle between the ducks (who love to leave their droppings on the synthetic greens) and our greens staff (who spend hours removing the offending debris).

At the moment, we believe the ducks are winning!

SURFCOAST FC PLATINUM

HEAVY rain overnight on Friday turned an already waterlogged pitch at the Quay into what was pretty much a flooded field.

By the time the under 14 girls, the FFV men’s reserves and finally the FFV men’s firsts had all played, it was a quagmire!

Overall, Surfcoast FC did well this weekend, in spite of the heavy conditions across the region, with wins or draws in most leagues.

FFV Provisional 2 Men: Surfcoast (0) v Bell Park (0)The second local derby this year ended with a muddy nil-all draw, meaning the top of the table race (and for the top two positions) has tightened considerably, but Surfcoast takes the honours against Bell Park for 2010, with a win against them in the first encounter. The result sees Surfcoast clinging to the top of the table by two points, with second placed Western Eagles having a game in hand. Next week is a must-win against Lalor United.

GRFA 2nd Division Men:Surfcoast (4) v Corio (2)In a very messy game the SCFC team got up 4-2 against a nine-man Corio squad. If this SCFC team can keep up their form, finals will be awaiting them - it’s possible with the team growing stronger and stronger every week.

U17 Boys: Surfcoast (2) v Geelong Rangers (3)Surfcoast under 17s again went down for a battle this weekend against Geelong Rangers. The second half saw the game getting fiery with Surfcoast going

down to 10 men courtesy of a red card, making the job harder for them as Rangers put two past an excellent Surfcoast keeper. Although they tried hard it was not to be for the Blue and Yellow, losing 3-2.

U16 Girls: Surfcoast (5) v Kardinia (0) The girls under 16s game was a peculiar contest with Surfcoast winning 5-0 but putting in close to the team’s poorest performance. While the teamwork wasn’t great, Surfcoast struck some great goals, and there were some terrific individual performances.

U14 Girls: Surfcoast Yellow (2) v Surfcoast Blue (1)The local derby took place in what looked like it could be horrendous conditions but the ground scrubbed up better than expected due to some late sunshine and a strong wind. After drawing in the last two meetings, the Yellows finally sealed a much deserved win. It wasn’t easy though, with theBlues aiming for the same outcome and putting on an excellent performance. Overall a very evengame again with skills of the girls on both sides coming to the fore in very poor soccer playing conditions.

U12 Girls: Surfcoast Legends (2) v Geelong Rangers (0)The Legends had a re-scheduled start and the rain had disappeared, leaving the ground in spectacular condition compared with the Quay. The Geelong Rangers made the trip south to face the Connewarre Doctor blowing 30 knots. After reaching 2-0 at half-time, the score remained there until the final siren as the Legends creep closer to that holy grail.

Tight struggle developingSlip, slop, sliding along: Cold and wet conditions greeted the teams on the weekend, with the men’s fi rst grade team having to settle for a 0-0 draw with Bell Park.

REPORT

89Tuesday 3 August 2010 fi shing

LAST week I was reminded of why fishing can be so special and I would like to share this with you as best I can.

Recently a customer came in to my store and asked me if I had my camera ready; he was quite excited and smiling like a Cheshire cat.

I asked him, what he had caught, he replied: “No, not me, it’s my grandson.” There was definitely no mistaking the pride in his voice.

“Well, go get him and his bream and I’ll take the photo,” I said.

When he came in, the young boy’s grin was larger even than his grandfather’s.

“What have you caught?” I asked. The boy looked up at me and took a gulp, and

said “A bream, a big bream… look at it, isn’t it huge?”

I looked into the bucket and there it was, a real thumper.

“It’s the biggest bream ever he cried out, granddad helped me, but I caught it,” he said with delight.

I looked at them both and their smiles said it all. He proudly handed up his bream to me, which

I then measured and weighed – and it came in at a whopping 38 centimetres and 850 grams.

I’ve seen bigger bream, but in this young boys eyes you could see that this bream was the biggest bream that anyone had ever caught.

After some discussion with his granddad and myself, the young boy decided it would be good to release the bream safely back into the river, once he realised how old it might be.

Afterwards I asked him how he felt letting the bream go.

“It felt good,” he replied, but then he turned towards his grandfather and said “but not as good as when we caught it.”

We all laughed and with that I gave him a small gift for his effort, which helped round off the perfect day for him.

To me, this is what fishing is all about – shared experiences, good memories and bonds formed.

A memory a nine-year-old boy will always treasure as he grows older, a special day when he and his granddad caught ‘the biggest bream you’ve ever seen’.

Marine parks Last week I received the Liberal party’s policy on marine parks (http://www.liberal.org.au/Policies.aspx) below is a quick summary of the main points. 1. Immediately put on hold the marine bioregional planning process to allow for its restructure2. Provide a fair and balanced displaced effort policy3. Base marine protected areas on science4. Establish sensible and balanced marine park boundaries and develop management plans in consultation with industry.

The Greens responded through their candidate for Moreton, Elissa Jenkins, who described the policy as ‘flawed’, she said this was because it ignores the issues raised in the 2006 animated film, Happy Feet.

“Anyone’s who’s seen the animated children’s film Happy Feet would know that overfishing is the biggest threat facing our fishing and tourism industries – not sanctuaries,” she said.
