Local equine owners concerned a horse trail study will indentify hurdles rather than opportunities for the Bellarine Peninsula
BY ALISON MARTIN BELLARINE horse riders are urging City of Greater Geelong to consider all the opportunities a network of horse trails – accessible to cyclists and walkers – would create for the region. Bellarine horse owner and industry spokesperson, Garry Laver, is concerned a horse trail study, which is being finalised by CoGG, identifies reasons not to create a network of trails. Laver, however, believes there are ways of addressing issues and the benefits of a trail network across the growing Bellarine will outweigh any problems raised in the study. As a cyclist and horse rider, Laver has seen the success of a series of trails created through the pristine Otways near Forrest. He said common concerns, including flora protection and weed management had been addressed and the Otway trail had created a strong demand and tourism opportunities for the area. “I’m like a lot of others on the Bellarine… I use to ride my horse on the local roads but I don’t anymore because it’s just too dangerous,” he said. “A series of trails would also provide an answer to the cycling concerns. It would separate cars and bikes and could even save lives. “Everyone who rides a bike on the roads around the Bellarine has a story of a recent accident or nearmiss to tell you.” Laver said he hoped the strategy, when released for public comment, would consider suggestions he and other local horse owners had raised. “The trail could be created by the opening of the western section of Sheppards Road to link to the Rail Trail,” he said. “There would need to be access, at least to the short section of the Bellarine Rail Trail, between the Pony Club grounds and the Sheppards Road linkage. “But the network would require an agreement between the Steam Preservation Society (SPS) and CoGG to allow this section to be used by horse riders on reasonable nominated days and during specific time periods.” Laver said the SPS currently refused to allow horses alongside the rail line, however, there were
The Bellarine’s burgeoning tourism industry travelled to Melbourne’s Federation Square on Sunday for the biggest metropolitan promotion of the region to date. The Bellarine Beach Party was an outstanding success, thanks to the efforts of local tourism operators, volunteers, tourism authorities and staff, including Jess Lewis.

OCEAN Grove residents are invited to have their say on the draft Ocean Grove Sporting Infrastructure Plan. The aim of the plan is to support the long held vision of Shell Road Reserve becoming the town’s premier recreation precinct, thereby relieving overuse pressures that exist at some reserves. This involves the relocation Ocean Grove Football Netball Club and the Ocean Grove Cricket Club to Shell Road Reserve. The project has included the development of master plans for Shell Road Reserve, Ocean Grove Memorial Recreation Reserve and Collendina Reserve to guide future use. The master plans identify these key recommendations: Shell Road Reserve: • Establishment of a new community sports pavilion • Establishment of new netball courts • Improvements to sports surfaces • Paving works (car park and pedestrian paths) • Shell Road Reserve entry improvements Ocean Grove Memorial Reserve: • Improvements to pedestrian links to adjoining streets • Refurbishment of sports pavilion • Improvements to car park to facilitate vehicle movement • Refurbishment of Memorial Hall including sub-floor and kitchen

Collendina Reserve: • Paving works (car park, road works and pedestrian paths) • Relocation of playground to improve safety • Installation of a pedestrian bridge to
Bonnyvale Road • Landscaping, signage fencing and park furniture Portarlington Reserve • Toilet block to get new lighting We receive a number of requests for infrastructure upgrades throughout the year. Through this plan we’ve been able to prioritise works projects for each reserve so that we can ensure a strategic long term approach is taken. A lot of community consultation was carried out in developing this plan so we’re confident it reflects the needs of Ocean Grove residents. We’re still keen to receive feedback on the draft plan and encourage residents to have a look at it and give us their feedback.

Meeting to discuss bypass BY ALISON MARTIN A PUBLIC meeting to debate a town bypass will be hosted by the Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association this week. DCSCA secretary Patrick Hughes said the “long-promised bypass around Drysdale and Clifton Springs could slip further down the priority list� because of pressure to connect Geelong’s Armstrong Creek development to the Ring Road. “Drysdale and Clifton Springs have been promised a bypass for years, but with no firm date for its construction,� Hughes said. “There hasn’t even been a thorough

surrounding a bypass takes time,� Hughes said. “We want our public meeting to discuss whether a bypass is the best response to local traffic and transport issues and its possible benefits to the community. “We have invited speakers from diverse organisations to present a range of options and ideas about traffic and transport in our towns; and we’ll run some ‘snap polls’ on the night.� DCSCA’s public meeting tomorrow will start at 7pm in SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre, Drysdale High Street.

study of the effects, good and bad, that such a bypass is likely to have.� In response to community concerns regarding commitment on bypass consideration, residents and business people in the adjoining towns are encouraged to debate the pros and cons of a bypass at a public meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday March 3. Hughes said the meeting will feature speakers from Vicroads and Public Transport Users Association; with an invitation extended to City of Greater Geelong’s engineering department and the Geelong Sustainability Group. “We understand that overcoming the constraints, including land ownership,

St Leonards land swap A ST LEONARDS land swap will clear the way for the next step of an IGA supermarket proposal in Murradoc Road. City of Greater Geelong has resolved to support the preparation and exhibition of a combined planning permit and rezoning amendment to facilitate the development of the small supermarket. As part of the proposal, a small parcel of council-owned land in the St Leonards township – currently operating as a car parking area – will be sold to the supermarket developer. CoGG councillor, Andrew Katos, said the site currently owned by the developer was a long, narrow block, the shape of which posed problems
in terms of rear service access for the proposed supermarket. He said that following discussions with the developer it had been agreed that council would sell part of its adjoining car park to the developer, in order to provide a better-proportioned block for a supermarket. “The developer will in turn sell the rear of his original site to council for future parking and rear access for the supermarket and other shops,� Katos said. “Certified land valuations estimate that the two parcels of land are worth virtually identical amounts, so a direct exchange is considered the best solution for the developer, the community and for council.�
St James Anglican Church in Drysdale received a $50,000 heritage grant last week.

Jeffrey settles into new role BELLARINE Secondary College and Landcare Nursery’s new co-ordinator, Natalie Jeffrey, was officially welcomed yesterday by the many volunteers who support the nursery. Jeffrey said her new position was exciting, particularly the opportunity to promote the nursery and landcare programme. “We propagate more than 50,000 plants a year and all are indigenous to the Bellarine,” she said. The nursery provides a practical educational centre for BSC students, who learn all facets of horticulture and then watch their plants grow at a range of locations around the Bellarine. Nursery-grown plants are regenerating the Bellarine Rail Trail and private land across the region. Landcare volunteers spend anything from a few hours to days a week at the nursery and Landcare members can buy the propagated plants for their own properties. The nursery is open Mondays, Tuesdays and some Thursdays and more volunteers are always welcome to assist with planting, weeding and maintenance.
Richard Sampson, from Drysdale, Barbara Dunbar, from Clifton Springs, Craig Blackman, from Moolap, and Barbara Wilson-Browne, from Portarlington, were assisting new nursery co-ordinator, Natalie Jeffrey, last week.
Bayside support MEMBER for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, will discuss any community concerns raised with foreshore authority, Bellarine Bayside, but there are no plans to disband the committee. In response to calls for the committee to be abolished and a Liberal promise to restructure the authority if elected, Neville said she would deal directly with the Bellarine Bayside and continue to support the committee. “As the State Government, we have supported the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management through various State Government grants. “These grants are assisting the Committee to make significant improvements to our precious
Bellarine foreshore. “As the local MP I have been happy to support their grant applications and will continue to do so. “Foreshore committees of management are run by volunteer committee members and exist across the state to manage foreshore parks and assets. “The government has no plans to transfer control of these committees to local government,” she said. Neville acknowledged “the enormous contribution the volunteer committee members make to Bellarine; giving of their time and expertise on behalf of our community. “Recently three vacancies on the committee were advertised and the selection process is underway,” she said.

Coalition promise on Eisteddfod BELLARINE families are being urged to sign a coalition petition calling for the Victorian Government to save the Rock Eisteddfod. Liberal Party candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, has backed the coalition’s election promise to fund the Rock Eisteddfod “to maintain important artistic and social experiences for Bellarine students”. “Regional communities must work extra hard to ensure our children experience the same artistic, cultural and learning opportunities as city students,” Reiter said. “Under a Labor Government the Rock Eisteddfod would end for Bellarine Secondary College students and their families. Under a Liberal Government this important opportunity for creativity, learning, friendship building and youthpride will continue.”
He said funding cuts and venue fee increases had left organisers with “no choice but to shut it down”. “A coalition government would give $800,000 over the next four years to the music, dance and drama spectacular, ensuring Bellarine students continue to participate in this rewarding, healthy and inter-generational tradition,” Reiter said. “Bellarine Secondary College, which participated in last year’s Rock Eisteddfod, is no exception to the shut down. “I have spoken with parents and students and one distressed parent explained to me that she felt it was already tremendously difficult to find wholesome, healthy and enjoyable activities for her teenage children to participate in.” The petition can be signed online at www. savetherocka.com.au

Indented Head Boat Shed Cultural Heritage Digs Bellarine Bayside continues to develop Policy – Review 2010 Cultural Heritage Management Plans to better
understand and manage aboriginal heritage sites along the foreshore. The current project is to complete an overall CHMP for the whole foreshore area with consideration of planned works arising from the Bellarine Bayside Strategic Plan – Vision 2018. An aspect of all CHMP’s is a series of archaeological investigation digs that physically identify cultural heritage. These digs are carried out under the watchful eye of professional archaeologists, and observers from the Wathaurung Corporation.
Bellarine Bayside have initiated a review of the Indented Head Boat Shed policy. At the recent Bellarine Bayside public meeting the current policy was reviewed and a number of alternative options for the future allocation and ongoing management of boat sheds put forward for discussion. As part of the review process, the Committee is calling for public submissions on the alternative options as well as any new proposals. Submissions are due by 5pm on Wednesday 10th March 2010. Detailed information on this process is available on our website at: www.bellarinebayside. com.au or may be collected at the reception building at Bellarine Bayside Holiday Park – Portarlington. surfcoasttimes.com.au
Bellarine Bayside are again offering local volunteers an opportunity to be involved in this cultural heritage investigation via the public archaeology program. This public program is active archaeology for a limited number of volunteers under the strict guidance of DIG International archaeology and Bellarine Bayside. Volunteers will be involved in archaeological excavation, artifact handling, and engaged in an on-site program that will deliver a better understanding of local aboriginal heritage.
www.bellarinebayside.com.au PORTARLINGTON SEASIDE RESORT The public archaeology program will commence on Wednesday 10th March and continue for approximately 10 days. The program can accommodate 4 – 8 volunteers per day, Bellarine Bayside invite interested volunteers to register by phoning 03 5259 3311.
Pt Richards Boat Launching Facility With the rock groyne completed prior to Christmas and dredging underway, the next stage of the Pt Richards Boat Launching Facility redevelopment is underway. Dredging will continue until the end of March, with approximately 8,000 cubic meters being dredged to create a safe navigable passage to and from the boat ramp. A public tender process was initiated in December 2009 to select the contractor for the detailed design and construction of the new four lane boat ramp and central jetty, with a low-level landing platform. The tender selection process is complete with contracts expected to be signed in the new few weeks. Site works will take approximately 20 weeks with completion expected by mid July 2010. As with the dredging works currently underway, the future ramp and jetty works may cause some disruption to public boat launching, we ask that during this time of redevelopment, ramp users be patient and respect the signs and direction of contractors at all times.
Fireworks Fund At the recent public meeting of Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management it was decided that the long held public be donated to the Bendigo Bank Community Fund. fund was a combination of local business and community donations. Since the establishment of the fund there has been no call on the funds, yet bank fees continue to diminish the savings. It was determined by the committee, that the funds would better serve the community by donating them to the Bendigo Bank Community Fund that in turn will grant them to successful community groups as determined via the established Community Fund process.

TRAIL LOST? “We do not know what recommendations the final report contains, but from previous discussions we are concerned with CoGG identifying obstacles rather than opportunities to enhance recreation and lifestyle amenity on the Bellarine Peninsula,� Laver said. CoGG manager sport and recreation, Paul Jane, said the objective of this study was to quantify the demand for horse trails on the Bellarine Peninsula and examine potential locations for horse trails, and the issues that surround these sites. “A review of the relevant data, including participation trends, has been completed to examine these project objectives,� he said. “Additional surveying of users of the Bellarine Rail Trail has been completed and included in the study to give a broader view of the issues surrounding horse riding on the Bellarine Peninsula. “The draft report has to be reviewed by the project steering committee before going to council. If it is approved it will be released for public comment.� He assured the community that planning projects such as the Bellarine horse trails study “were undertaken in a way to examine all relevant information, including the issues and opportunities�. “This includes examining demand, other trail users’ perceptions, environmental issues and the ongoing management arrangements of all potential trails. This allows for a balanced and realistic plan on the completion of the study,� Jane said. He said if the final report recommended the horse trails go ahead and was endorsed by council, the report would be used to guide the development of horse trails on the Bellarine Peninsula into the future.

Bellarine’s big party a success A snapshot of the Bellarine Beach Party at Federation Square on Sunday BY ALISON MARTIN BELLARINE’S Beach Party at Federation Square exceeded all expectations, with thousands joining the peninsula celebrations. Bellarine Tourism chair, Hugo Armstrong, said it was a massive promotion to organise – taking an entire region to Melbourne for the day – but the response and amount of interest from visitors was evidence of its success. “We had received a lot of positive coverage from local and Melbourne media and I was amazed how many people had come to Fed Square just to see the Bellarine,” he said. “The food and wine tastings were really well received, the local beer was popular, everyone wanted to try the Port mussels and accommodation and dive operators attracted a lot of
booking interest. “I know we handed out 2,000 brochures for the Blues Train, alone.” He said it was the first time the tourism body, which has a volunteer board, had taken “the region 120 kilometres up the road” and it was great to see the response to the huge marketing exercise. Encouraging more businesses to join Bellarine Tourism, Armstrong said local tourism operators needed to be aware that all membership dollars was spent on marketing, with administration costs covered by City of Greater Geelong and Geelong Otway Tourism. “And hats off to Bellarine Tourism destination officer Emma Crameri and the work she has done to make the Bellarine Beach Party a success. We would definitely do it again,” he said.

Clean Up Australia – naturally THIS Sunday is Clean Up Australia Day and everyone throughout the community is being asked to do their bit to keep our country clean. Throughout various towns, groups will be holding clean ups at different areas, and one group which is holding its fourth successive tidy up is the Point Impossible nudists. Sunday will see users of the clothing optional beach meet to take part in the clean up – an area which they have officially registered with the national headquarters of Clean Up Australia Day. This year’s co-ordinator of the event, Dr Dave
Bulman, said the day plays an important reminder that our beaches need to be looked after. “The effort on Clean Up Australia Day sends an important signal that beach users are prepared to take responsibility, and make a contribution to ensuring that Point Impossible remains Victoria’s premier clothing optional beach,” he said. In recognising the importance of beach users working with responsible authorities, Surf Coast Shire has granted the group a special exemption to access the protected dune area for the duration of the clean up, and, as in previous years, Great Ocean Road Coast Committee will be assisting with
the loan of some equipment and in removing the rubbish collected. “Following the clean up, and weather permitting, we will be making time to enjoy the beach – naturally”, said Dr Bulman. “We would be happy for any of the community to come along and have a chat about Clean Up Australia Day and the value of the beach.” Dr Bulman urged those able to help to gather at the Point Impossible car park on Sunday morning by 9.30am, and to bring gloves, bags and buckets for collecting broken glass and other litter.
Rabbit control
MORE than 90 local landholders converged on Freshwater Creek last week to learn more about rabbit control and management. The information evening was held by the Surf Coast and Inland Plains Landcare Network (SCIPN) – with landowners from Connewarre, Bellbrae, Mt Duneed, Moriac, Modewarre, Torquay and Freshwater Creek attending. SCIPN Landcare, together with the Surf Coast Shire, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, Torquay Landcare Group and Lake Modewarre Landcare Group facilitated the information session. Throughout the evening, techniques such as warren ripping, bait laying, fumigation and warren destruction were demonstrated. SCIPN Rabbit Neighbourhood Group Facilitator, Cherie Mordue, also encouraged landholders to undertake a six-step programme, which includes: Talking to neighbours to co-ordinate control works, planning your rabbit control programme, assessing the density of rabbits, laying pindone carrot bait, burrowing fumigation and warren destruction. For more information or to become involved in your neighbourhood rabbit programme, phone SCIPN Landcare on 5266 1707.
The beaches might have cleared of tourists in recent weeks, but there is no shortage of dogs lapping up the open spaces. While most dogs are happy chasing balls or sticks along the beach, for Indi, it was a pretend plastic turkey leg which had her attention at Aireys Inlet on the weekend.

Support for parking meters
Well done Kurt Reiter – stand up for the Bellarine and make the Department of Sustainability and Environment and the council do its job.
Dear Editor, I would like to support the suggestion by councillor Jim Tutt at the last Surf Coast Shire meeting. He suggested that parking meters be installed in Torquay. There are many residents like me that object to the rates being increased each year, whilst visitors continue to enjoy the benefits without charge. I agree that we need tourists to visit our region, but it should not be up to the locals to provide the infrastructure to allow them to park on nature strips, block roadways and generally contribute very little to the region. The Whites Beach area is overcrowded on most weekends and people park wherever they can. There is a shortage of parking places in Torquay and even the Woolworths carpark is used for day parking at the beach, as there is no checking of cars that park there. The residents of Torquay should be surveyed by the shire on options for the provision of infrastructure that could be contributed to by visitors. Provision of parking meters is high on the options list, along with a boat ramp that is safe and allows launching and retrieving on boats in a safe manner, also a marina at Fisherman’s Beach would be wonderful addition for Torquay. I suggest residents write to the shire and voice your views on what the councillors should be considering instead of increasing rates that many are finding very expensive for the services provided.

Well done, Kurt Dear Editor, In response to your Bay To Stay story (Bellarine Times, February 23) it is great to see a local representative standing up for a local issue. The money raised from the caravan park during the year should be used on properly managing the caravan park and the balance used to manage the foreshore reserve. The transfer of money to the City of Greater Geelong will see it disappear into consolidated revenue and, just like our rates, be wasted on Geelong ‘city centric’ projects, while the foreshore will be left to fend for itself.
entail almost always occurs in Geelong businesses rather than local businesses. Based on average expenses of $1,000 per annum per secondary student, this represents up to $1million lost from local community businesses and their families. Deb Colley Torquay
A plan that makes sense Dear Editor, As a resident of Portarlington, I have shared the concerns of so many local residents re the ‘old boy’s club’ mentality that has led the Bellarine Bayside over the last several years. I was not prepared to sign the petition as I did not want to see control of our foreshore pass into the hands of the City of Greater Geelong because money paid in camping fees, which should by right be used to improve our foreshore, would end up being lost in general revenue or spent in areas other than our own. At last someone is listening to the local residents and doing something practical to try to bring about a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned and not just sniping at one another through letters to the papers. Well done Kurt Reiter E Appleby Portarlington.
Torquay feels economic impact Dear Editor, Further to your front page article, titled A town with no identity (Surf Coast Times, February 16), David Koch makes a number of valid points with regards to the loss of talent and sense of community to Torquay when most senior school children bus into Geelong for secondary education and after-school activities. I have been told by Surf Coast council staff that at least 1,000 senior students are bused out of the Surf Coast area daily. David Koch did not mention the enormous economic loss that this movement of teenagers represents to local businesses. Parents spending on school-based requirements such as uniforms, sporting equipment, books, stationery, footware and myriad of other expenses that direct schooling and after curricula activities
Structure plan is no plan at all Dear Editor, I was appalled to read in the Bellarine Times (February 23) that Barwon Heads will increasingly become a residential suburb of Ocean Grove as a consequence of the Barwon Heads Structure Plan (BHSP). The BHSP states “community aspirations and needs” will be met, and that “there is a need to provide community facilities commensurate with community needs and sustainability of service provision”. The closure of David Jansen’s Barwon Heads Motors goes directly against the wishes of the community, who have expressed overwhelming support for this business to remain in operation. Barwon Heads was a community long before the tourism boom. Rising retail rental prices have already squeezed out a butcher, fruit and vegetable store, health food shop and most recently the DVD rental business. There are, however, eight stores at which to purchase clothing and three homeware boutiques. Despite the BHSP claims the community has been able to articulate preferred future directions for the town, this selection of businesses would not appear to align with sustainability of service provision. A further loss of local employment and increase in house prices in Barwon Heads will erode the community, as younger residents are unable to afford to live in the town they have grown up in. In a climate of urgency to form local and sustainable networks, the City of Greater Geelong appears to be out of touch with the reality of community needs. Of course, as long as rates continue to pour into their coffers the soul of our town is irrelevant. Emily Nye Barwon Heads

Lions numbers continue to grow Victor Seaburg, sculptor and artist of Geelong. The Lions Club is looking at providing a cairn, sculpture, sundial or other type of memorial at the Adrian Mannix Park in Clifton Spring in honour of their late Lions member. This will enhance the area and be a permanent reminder of the incredible amount of work the late past District Governor, Adrian E Mannix AOM, carried out for his local community. The Lions Club also gave a generous donation to the Springdale Neighborhood House to help
LIONS Zone Chairman, John Emerson, of the Lions Club of Portarlington/Drysdale last week inducted Terry Crosby into the club at their mixed dinner held at the Lions Den in the Lions Village complex. The new Lion, Terry Crosby, and his wife, Lions Lady Gail, intend to renovate and retire to a home they recently purchased and occupied in Portarlington. Guest speakers for the evening were Linda Gallus, art co-ordinator of Geelong College, and
towards the replacement of an old domestic dishwasher with a commercial dishwasher for their kitchen. This will be an enormous help to staff and volunteers for various caterings as well as both men’s and ladies cooking classes. Adrian E Mannix Community Service Award This Award, to honour a local citizen who has contributed outstanding community service within the Bellarine area, is in its ninth year, and is co-
ordinated by the local Lions, Rotary and Springdale Community Centre. Residents are urged to obtain a nomination form and guidelines from Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, located at 17-21 High Street, Drysdale or at Portarlington Neighbourhood House, Brown Street Portarlington. Nominations close on March 31, with the recipient receiving a $500 cheque made out to the local charity of their choice, plus a framed certificate and engraved trophy.
Climate change plan
A new face joins our team THE SURF Coast Times and Bellarine Times has welcomed a new member to its team. Lennox Karl Scharkosi was born at 9.15am last Wednesday, February 24, weighing in at 10 pound, 15 ounces. Lennox is the first son of Brooke, who is our distribution manager and Fred, who is the publisher.
Fred and Brooke would like to thank the Midwives Clinic at Barwon Health for the fabulous service and high level of care they provided throughout Brooke’s pregnancy. They would like to give a special mention to midwives Jacinta, Mark and Sarah who looked after Brooke throughout her long labour.
CITY of Greater Geelong has been updated on planning for coastal climate change, which is expected to have significant impact on low-lying areas of the Bellarine. A report to CoGG detailed the numerous state and federal policies that impact on local planning decisions, including the Victorian Coastal Strategy 2008, which has led to changes to the State Planning Policy Framework. Council’s climate change portfolio holder, John Doull, said CoGG had adopted a precautionary approach to planning for coastal climate change in line with state and federal policies. “Our planning assessments take into account the recommendations from the Victorian Coastal Strategy including planning for a sea level rise of at least 0.8 metres,� Doull said. The precautionary principle states that ‘where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation’. “We expect more detailed information on localised sea level impacts will come through the Victorian Government’s Future Coasts programme and we will build this data into our planning processes as it becomes
available,� Doull said. Coastal climate change is considered as part of many of the city’s strategic and statutory planning activities including: • Ensuring growth area planning takes into account sea level rises by directing growth away from potentially vulnerable areas. • Ensuring reviews of coastal township structure plans take into account the most up to date mapping information. • Ensuring planning scheme amendments (and where appropriate planning permit applications) in vulnerable coastal areas undertake coastal hazard vulnerability assessments. • Posting application guidelines and information about planning for coastal climate change on the cCity’s website. • Forming a Climate Change Working Group across the organisation and developing a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. Participating in relevant working groups such as the Coastal Climate Change Advisory Committee, Future Coasts, the Central Coastal Board and the MAV’s planning working group.

Boost for local maternal and child health services
MATERNAL and child health services on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula have received a timely boost. The state government last week announced that 15 nurses were awarded maternal and child health scholarships – with Sharon Harvey being placed on the Surf Coast and Elizabeth Dixon in Geelong. Children and Early Childhood Development Minister, Maxine Morand, said the scholarships, valued at $3,500 each, would help Division One nurses endorsed as midwives complete further study in maternal and child health nursing. “The government is responding to the biggest baby boom in a generation and taking action to deliver the services families need,� Morand said. “The one-year scholarship funding can be put towards course fees or general study costs, with successful applicants undertaking to take up employment as a maternal and child health nurse at the end of their study. “The most rapid development phase happens in the early years of a child’s life and maternal and child health nurses play an important role in

supporting parents during this time. “Ninety-eight per cent of families with newborn babies in Victoria are now accessing a maternal and child health nurse which is fantastic and shows the quality of the service being delivered across the state.� Morand said of the 15 scholarships, 10 were awarded to nurses working for local governments identified as being in greater need for staff with maternal and child health qualifications. “Since the programme began in 2005, 91 scholarships have been awarded and the programme has been shown to be an effective strategy in helping with the maternal and child health workforce,� she said. “It is great to see nurses, particularly in these areas of greater need, prepared to complete the additional training to become maternal and child health professionals which will help ensure we can continue to offer these important services for all Victorian families.� Scholarship recipients and municipalities in which they will undertake their student placement are:
Katie Cronin – Maribyrnong* Sarah Gellatly, Yarra Jacqueline Byrne – Moreland* Juanita Schulties, Whittlesea* Sarka Bednarova, Maroondah* Maryanne Smith, Ballarat Geraldine D’Orival, Knox* Sharon Harvey, Surf Coast Sally Roberts, Northern Grampians* Elizabeth Dixon, Geelong Sandra Sealey, Casey* Jenny Fyffe, Maribyrnong* Suzanne Wishart, Maroondah* Nicola Keenan, Darebin Karen Bellamy, Port Phillip* * denotes municipalities identified as in greater need for MCH staff.

MANY parents are unsure whether their child is over their healthiest weight. Barwon Healthy Families is a new initiative to equip parents with the tools needed to keep their family healthy. The Barwon Healthy Families programme works with parents of primary school aged children, who are worried that their child may be overweight. Around 1 in 3 children are currently over weight. Susan Parker, programme co-ordinator, said Barwon Healthy Families can really benefit families and encourage a healthy lifestyle. “The programme isn’t about dieting,� Parker said.
“It’s about living a healthy life which encompasses eating, exercise, self esteem, and family activities.� If excess weight is not caught early in children, it is harder to successfully return the child to their healthiest weight. The later excess weight is found, the more pressure is placed on the child and the whole family to attempt to repair the situation. The programme was designed to assist all family members and helps to educate about the necessity of exercise, eating well and eating the right amount. The programme acknowledges parents have the ability to make changes and works with parents to
make beneficial changes for the whole family. If you are worried about your child’s weight, or you would like to know whether there is cause to worry, Barwon Healthy Families can provide advice and support. The programme consists of individual and group support, while covering topics including: child self esteem, motivating children, ideas for healthy meals, and family survival tips. To register your interest in the programme, phone a Barwon Healthy Families clinician at Newcomb on 5260 3333, Belmont on 5260 3778, Corio on 5260 3800 or email populationhealth@barwonhealth.org.au

If anyone is thinking of volunteering for Starlight – just do it,� she said. “You get some much out of it. It builds your confidence, you meet new people, you have lots of fun... and all for a great cause!

There are over 600,000 child admissions to Australian hospitals every year and currently Starlight is only able to reach one in three. “Starlight’s ultimate goal is to enable every seriously ill child the opportunity to access and benefit from Starlight’s innovative programmes. “The support from the Australian public this Starlight Day will help Starlight reach these seriously ill children and their families when they need it most.� Starlight’s programmes include Starlight Express Rooms, Starlight Fun Centres, Starlight Escapes and Starlight Wishgranting to brighten the lives of sick children and their families at a time when they need it most.

Time to step up the pace on health reform, says AGPN IT IS time the government delivered on two years of reviews into the health system by investing most where the majority of people receive their health care – in general practice and communitybased settings, according to the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN). Responding to speculation published in a Sydney newspaper, AGPN chair, Dr Emil Djakic,

said that if the government is serious about a radical health reform agenda, it won’t happen without critical investment in primary health care. “The rumoured new funding for general practice networks to run preventative health and chronic disease management programmes is welcome – this will enable our members to do what they are already doing much more comprehensively,� he said.

BELLARINE and Surf Coast schools are encouraged to register for National Ride2School Day and support the annual health initiative. National Ride2School day aims to raise awareness of the health, economic and environmental reasons for encouraging children to actively commute to school. The event will be held on Wednesday, March 17, with students asked to ride or walk – at least some of the way – to school. National Ride2School Day promotes the benefits of active travel including: • Children feel fresh and more alert at the beginning of the school day. • There are fewer cars on the road, reducing congestion and greenhouse gases. • Children can work towards completing the recommended 60 minutes of moderate activity each day on the way to and from school. • Children feel happier and are healthier. • Easing the family budget Ride2School is a Bicycle Victoria behaviour change programme focused on increasing the number of students walking and riding. Ride2School encourages healthy lifestyles by increasing students’ physical activity levels. There are lots of ways to make your school’s Ride2School Day fun and exciting for everyone involved – the challenge is being creative and involving students and the wider community. The first step to being part of the National Ride2School Day is to register online at www. bv.com.au/ride2school

Discover opportunities at The Geelong College RECEIVING the Francis and Aline Roland Scholarship has been a very exciting experience for Warrnambool teenager, Oscar Robinson. Oscar is commencing school at The Geelong College this year as a Year 11 student and full-time boarder. “I am really excited about starting at the College – I have already checked out my boarding house and made some new friends and I can’t wait for the school term to officially start,” he said. “My passions mainly relate to sport, so The Geelong College is definitely the school for me. The facilities are awesome, especially the sporting grounds and tennis courts, but there is a bit of
everything at the school. Music and the Arts are also a key focus at the school, so I am looking forward to seeing everything that is on offer. “It’s a bit too early to say what I will end up doing with my career but, at this stage, I’m definitely interested in physiotherapy.” Oscar said his parents gave him the choice as to what school he would attend and he chose The Geelong College based on the environment of the school and “how big it Is”! My sister went there too and was a boarder, so I knew how much she liked it, which made my decision easier,” he said. One of Australia’s finest day and boarding
schools, The Geelong College holds many honoured traditions as well as being at the forefront of current educational initiatives. The Geelong College offers scholarships that encompass all aspects of College life, including academic, boarding, arts and music. The college boasts state-of-the-art facilities such as the Keith Humble Centre for Music and the Performing Arts and an Aquatic Centre featuring a 25-metre swimming pool, separate diving pool and a fully equipped gymnasium. The academic support programme is an integral part of the college’s offerings for boarding and day students.
Specialist subject tutors in English, mathematics and science are available and well utilised by boarders in both boarding houses. As a result, some of the 2009 Year 12 students were winners of the Specialist Maths Prize, The English Prize and The Alexander and John Coto Prize for all round academic excellence. It’s easy to see why The Geelong College is still regarded as one of Australia’s finest co-educational day and boarding schools. You can take a virtual tour of the boarding house by visiting The Geelong College website at www. geelongcollege.vic.edu.au or arrange to take a tour by phoning the registrar, Deb Fanning on 5226 3190.

WHILE some people might be put off by the thought of keeping a rat as a pet, for Aireys Inlet’s Courtney Young, her rat Pumpkin is a muchloved companion. Pumpkin has been with Young for the past two years after she bought him from the Kyneton Pet Shop. And while most people might opt for a cuddly kitten, pretty puppy or bouncy bunny, the decision to get a rat wasn’t a hard one for Young. “I’d had rats previously and when I saw Pumpkin I thought I would get some again,” Young said. “They are not really high maintenance pets, and if you have more than one they tend to keep themselves company and occupy each other – and they are pretty easy
to look after. “I keep him in a large three-storey cage with igloos to hide in, most of the time, but I take him out in the morning and afternoons to run around. “They are very inquisitive pets and like to hang around their owners; climb all over people, and they are quite affectionate.” Young also has a pet dog, Indi, and unlike some animals which may not get along together, the combination of rat and canine works well. “Rats are fun to have around; my dog, Indi, likes chasing them,” Young said. “Indi is actually scared of Pumpkin… he has scurried over her paws lots of times and gives her a bit of a fright.” When it comes to eating, Pumpkin
is happy to eat what may come his way. “Sometimes in the morning he has a little Pal dog food when I’m feeding Indi, or he might get the crust of my toast sometimes. He also likes to chew on lamb cutlet bones,”
Young said. “Rats also get really hot easily. So I freeze a bottle of water and put that in the cage on hot nights.” If you would like to know more about owning a rat, visit www. ausrfs.org.au

ARE YOU never quite sure of where you need to have your dog on a leash or where you can let them off? To help dog owners understand the categories applicable in different areas around the region, the City of Greater Geelong has produced a simple, pocketsize dog walking map that outlines on and off leash areas. Called ‘Walk Time’, the map defines the on and off leash areas along the Bellarine and Barwon River (from Queens Park to Fyansford Common). “There’s a bit of confusion amongst the community as to whether dogs need
to be on a leash or not in certain areas,” City of Greater Geelong mayor, John Mitchell, said. “There’s a number of beaches and other places in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula where you can let your dog run around unleashed – but under effective control – and the map shows these areas.” The ‘Walk Time’ map is an action from the City’s Domestic Animal Management Plan, which involved extensive consultation with residents. A copy of ‘Walk Time’ will be mailed to all registered dog owners.

JUST because a home is advertised for auction does not mean you have to wait until the day of the auction to make an offer for it. Through the estate agent you can make a pre-auction offer to the vendor if you have an interest in buying the home. REIV research shows that in the past three weekends around three in 10 homes offered at auction and then sold were actually sold to a pre-auction bidder. For the last three years, this kind of sale result occurred in around two in every 10.
The right marketing makes a difference WHY IS it necessary to spend money on advertising when you sell your home? According to Barry Plant Torquay’s principal, Glenn Hardman, a well-planned and executed marketing campaign is critical to the success of selling your property. “It must be designed specifically for your home,� Hardman said, “and communicate the features that will attract the maximum number of potential buyers to inspect it. “In essence, the better the marketing campaign, the greater your chances are of obtaining the best price.� At Barry Plant in Torquay, they ask you to participate in planning the campaign and take whatever time is necessary to talk through the various options with you for marketing your home. Their consultants possess a clear understanding of the principles of marketing residential property and will put forward suggestions but they respect the fact that it’s your home and you – better than anyone
This means that in the current market it can be important to consider making a pre-auction offer to avoid missing out on buying the home you want. With that in mind there are a number of advantages in making an offer, even if the offer fails. A successful offer can allow you and the vendor to avoid the auction itself. It is also the case that even if your offer is unsuccessful, the vendor is less likely to sell to a higher bidder without giving you another opportunity to make an offer. If you do make an offer it has to be an attractive one
else – know the features that make it special. They will then develop a marketing strategy which is appropriate for the sale of your home and present it to you for your approval.
The costs associated with marketing your home The costs of marketing vary from property to property, but Hardman says that his consultants never work to any pre-determined cost structure for marketing but will present you with a suggested budget after they have completed the planning process with you. “Our objective is to develop a marketing campaign that will effectively deliver the right message to buyers at a reasonable cost to you,� Hardman explains. “There is no point in over-spending on a marketing campaign but we will ensure the budget recommended is entirely adequate for reaching all potential buyers currently in the market place that are looking for a property like yours.�
that gets the vendor’s attention and convinces them not to wait until the day of the auction. There are a number of things you can do to make the offer attractive: first, put the offer in writing; secondly, attach a time limit after which the offer expires. In some cases presenting the offer with a cheque for the deposit can really show the vendor that your offer is serious and that they may be better off not waiting until the auction. It is also always advisable to obtain legal advice before signing the contract of sale.

Industry Info
AS CONSUMER confidence continues to fall in the face of increasing concerns over future rate rises, Hank Moerenhout from Torquay First National Real Estate advises home owners to plan now to avoid unnecessary stress and the potential of losing the family home. “While the Reserve Bank has held interest rates for the time being, further rate rises in 2010 are inevitable, along with the strong possibility that living costs will also go up,” Moerenhout said. “Which is why we are suggesting people take a good look at the household budget and start factoring in how they will meet these challenges in the coming year. “Even a one per cent increase in interest rates, which is expected by the end of 2010, will translate to extra repayments of $193 per month on a $300,000 home loan, which may force many homeowners to default on their mortgages and lose much of the value they have built up in their homes. “But there are some simple steps we advise homeowners should consider when planning for these future interest rate rises.” Minimise the home loan balance Pay off as much as you can over and above the minimum monthly repayments. There are a number of ways this can be done, including making fortnightly rather than
monthly repayments; putting any additional cash into the mortgage (eg. live off the amount of last year’s wages and put any wage increases into the home loan), chart spending and expenses and any surplus achieved as a result should go into the mortgage. Consider refinancing There are often better deals to be found in a competitive market and even a small reduction in the home loan rate can significantly reduce the mortgage over the long term. Even if you do not refinance, make sure the valuation on your home is up to date and reflects recent price increases. Prepare a budget Draw up a budget, clearly outlining all your expenses and spending and factor in rates two per cent above the actual current level. Consolidate debt Put all debts under the one umbrella – the housing loan. Home loan rates are often much lower than those of credit cards or car and personal loans. “Your home is not just your major asset, it is also where you live, so it is important that it does not cause you stress,” Moerenhout said. For further information, phone Hank Moerenhout, principal from Torquay First National Real Estate, on 5261 6838.

Home Owners and Investors
Dear Home Owner/Investor, Property values on the Surf Coast and particularly Torquay and Jan Juc have risen dramatically in recent times. Residents we have spoken to are most interested to know the current value of their properties as this allows them to pursue other financial initiatives or to ensure that their homes are adequately insured. To assist our local residents we are conducting an exciting new initiative. Over the next three (3) months we will be offering our opinion on the value of every home in the area. Each appraisal will only take approximately 10-15 minutes, as we hope to complete one street per day.

WRECK OF THE INVERLOCHY: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938
The barque “ Inverlochy� 1339 tons, Captain Kendrick, was wrecked on Thurssay night, December 18, 1902, on Butlers Reef, two miles from the beach at Anglesea, and midway between Point Roadknight and Point Addis. The vessel sailed from Liverpool on September 10, for Melbourne, in the ownership of George Milne of Aberdeen, the name comes from the Scots ‘inver’, inlet and loch, lake, hence meaning ‘lake-like estuary’. The cargo consisted of general merchandise, including iron material, tinware, bottled stout, whisky, brandy & rum, consigned for Messrs Gibbs, Bright & Co, together with nine miles of cable for the Melbourne Tramway Company. The ships complement counted 24 all hands, including five apprentices and one old man of 70, all British except the Norwegian carpenter.

Custom design your home with Blue Cove ARE you designing your home to achieve maximum capital appreciation? The traditional beach shack is becoming a thing of the past, with new trends appearing daily. We asked renowned coastal builders Michael and Di Dahm from Blue Cove Homes to tell us about some of the hot new coastal building trends to make sure your home makes you money. “Great coastal design should facilitate a seamless connection of the indoor / outdoor areas. These spaces should be seen as an extension of each other. This allows you to capture the essence of real coastal living,” says Michael. “Gone is the generic approach to house designs, where the one design fits all. Today’s consumers are far more discerning and want their homes to reflect their lifestyles and personalities.” Choosing a recognised, award winning coastal builder like Blue Cove Homes will guarantee that your home starts making you money from the day it is completed. Blue Cove Homes’s fundamental approach to custom designing takes a very hands-on approach. Building materials that are appropriate to the coast are one area that they pay particular attention to. “Our aim is to make sure each home makes the most of its surroundings and is orientated to maximise views, fits the family’s individual needs and has that wow factor that our clients are seeking,” says Di. Blue Cove Homes are offering a free, one-hour, no obligation consultation to help you better understand the building process. To book your appointment, please call 1300 858 228, email office@bluecovehomes.com.au or visit www.bluecovehomes.com.au. surfcoasttimes.com.au

Brad Nation and his team have a range of more than 90 floor plans for clients to choose from and each design can be modified to suit the individual needs of the client.

Also on this level are the four bedrooms, including the master suite with balcony, walk-in robe and spacious en suite. When building with Hotondo Homes, clients receive fixed price contracts upfront so they don’t have to worry about hidden extras further into the building process.

Dimovski is one of the most well known DJs around Geelong; he has been playing at the Eureka Hotel as their resident DJ on Saturday nights as well as regularly performing at Home House. He admitted that before he started DJing professionally last year, he had always been fascinated by being behind the decks and was hooked once he began. “I’ve always had a passion for it. Growing up when I would go to clubs with friends, I would just stand there and watch the DJs play,” said Dimovski. “So I called up my cousin one day and said we’ll go halves in decks and play at parties. For the first six months we did that and I learnt heaps. “Then I met the guys from Eureka and Home House. I started playing there… it all happened very fast.” According to Dimovski, his favourite memory of DJing to date has been working on New Year’s Eve. “It was the biggest night I’ve worked at but I had some of my best sets. I worked from 10.30am at night until 7am the next morning,” he said. Part of his success to get crowds dancing and having a good time has been his modern taste in music – mixed with a hint of some old-time favourites. “I look at the ARIA top 20 charts often and also the novanation website,” Dimovski said. “I often go with another DJ friend of mine to Melbourne and we go through op shops and old record shops to find old CD singles. You find a lot of gems to play.” Apart from his DJ work, Dimovski recently completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin University in Geelong. He is currently studying building and construction at the Gordon Tafe in Geelong as well as working in retail at Optus. “I am pretty busy but it’s good,” he said. “Sometimes I won’t get home from Eureka till 5am on a Sunday morning. Then I’ll have to be at Optus by 10am for work. “I was told by one of my mates that his father used to be in army

and said if you get four hours sleep you’re fine. So I stick to that and if I have four hours sleep I’m good. “But every now and again I crash out and sleep for a long time.

NZ in a glass... LAST Monday I attended the big annual ‘New Zealand in a Glass’ wine expo. I must say, you’ve got to hand it to the Kiwis when it comes to marketing their brand – I lost count how many times I heard, read or saw how clean, green and ‘pure’ their environment/vineyards and winemaking is. Talk about ramming home the message! With just under 100 wineries exhibiting, the task ahead was daunting to say the least. As I walked around I saw many producers that I was obviously well familiar with, so except for a chosen few, I decided to spend my time looking at those that were new to me. Mind you, I hadn’t attended this event for a few years, so I had a bit of catching up to do! Pinot Gris was certainly a variety that does well over there and a great many that I tried were all very exciting alongside the eye opening Cabernets and Merlots that normally don’t get a foot in the door anywhere. The buzz word around the traps at the moment – ‘Sauv-alanche’ – is all about the amount of NZ Sauvignon Blanc arriving on our shores. If you hadn’t noticed this phenomenon already by the amount of cheap labels appearing from Marlborough etc that have sprouted like weeds in the market place recently then, “Where the bloody hell are ya?” The incredible increase in production over the last few years has seen the proliferation of labels and a marked decrease in prices, which all bodes well for the consumer. In an effort to differentiate themselves, I noticed many producers experimenting with their Sauvignon Blanc – barrel fermented, textural styles were all the rage alongside some sparkling sauvignon blanc styles, plus a few blends with semillon too. Another exciting initiative being implemented by the New Zealand wine industry to further reinforce their core message of being ‘clean, green and pure’ is a broad based, all encompassing sustainability policy. Their goal is for all New Zealand wineries and vineyards to be operating in accordance with a sustainability programme that will be independently audited and be in place by 2012. Already they’re well on the way to achieving this with more than 75 per cent of producers operating under the programme. It’s certainly a mighty undertaking, and can only benefit NZ wine as a whole going forward. With all this in mind, I’m off to NZ in a couple of weeks to get up close and personal, dirty my hands, put faces to names and hopefully come home with a better perspective and understanding of just what NZ – Marlborough in particular – is all about. Here are a few new standouts from the day that you might see appearing at a store near you soon.
Ant Moore Marlborough ($15-$30)
A talented winemaker who made his name producing wines for such well-known labels as Isabel Estate and Catalina Sounds. He produces three labels across three different price/quality levels – ‘Ant Moore’, ‘Pear Tree’ and ‘Waihopai’. All three brackets showed fantastic freshness, balance and varietal characters that are testament to Ant’s talent and ability.
Grasshopper Rock – Central Otago ($40)
Dedicated exclusively to the production of quality pinot noir, this is one winery that should be on every pinot-philes radar.

Photos bring the past back to life DRAWN from the Geelong Gallery’s permanent collection, the Brookes’ Photographic Union is a selection of late-19th century photographs of Geelong and the region. The collection forms part of a photographic folio of images of western Victoria gifted to the gallery by FE Richardson (gallery president from 1946 to 1963) and is currently on display until May 16. Dating to 1891, the photographs on display record the natural and built environments of western Victoria with images of the region’s stunning coastline and notable geological features such as Eagle Rock and the Loch Ard Inlet, as well as the picturesque beauty of the rivers, waterfalls and
forests of inland areas including the Aire River and Barwon River, the Phantom Falls on St George’s River and Beech Forest. Additional images capture the growth of the townships of Geelong and Queenscliff, the seaside destinations of Clifton Springs and the Portland Harbour, while engineering achievements such as the Winchelsea Bridge and the Moorabool Viaduct are similarly documented. A large number of the 27 works selected for exhibition will be on display for the first time. The gallery, situated at Little Malop Street, Geelong, is open Monday to Friday 10am-5pm, and weekends and public holidays from 1pm-5pm.

Food festivals, long lunches and showing off A NEW season – autumn – is almost upon us, and this means harvest time when produce is bountiful and the bounty of events to choose from at food festivals and longest lunches is staggering. I’m like a kid in a lolly shop pouring over the pages in the regional guide as to which events I will go to. The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is not just city-centric. Over the past couple of years the range of events in our own Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast region has grown enormously. The delicious offerings in this huge foodiefestival event can be discovered in detail on the website where you will find more than 250 activities to choose from. Decisions, decisions… there’s just so much to choose from! The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is held from March 12-23 and is a gourmand’s heaven of fascinating, educative, fun and tasty events. It is a feast for all the senses, so perhaps by highlighting a couple of the events, I just might whet your appetite to attend and soak up the atmosphere. Locally, the festival will showcase our region’s chefs and hospitality staff – using wonderful local
produce at one of the 19 statewide ‘longest lunches’ which will be held on March 12. There will be one in Geelong in the Botanic Gardens and another at Bellarine Estate Winery – but get in quick, these events are often booked out. On March 21 you can take in the gorgeous views of the acid yellow fields of canola, with the blues of the bay and our notable You Yangs in the distance, whilst snacking on delicious food from chef, David Warmisham-Hall, and sipping wines from the Kilgour Estate Winery at The Longest View Cocktail Party. Ramping up the heat just a little more – why not be gobsmacked by the talented team at Oakdene at a Showcase Dinner on March 12? Local produce such as Drysdale goat feta, Port Phillip calamari, our fabulous Portarlington mussels, Wallington rabbit... and of course the luscious strawberries grown in the beautiful rolling fields of Wallington – will be sure to impress you. Already the Artisan Bread Class being offered by the fantastic sour dough bakery Le Madre is booked out, but there are many more opportunities to learn
various skills, hone up on coffee making, sip and slurp in wine at the Cellar Door at Southgate, share in and exchange tips on everything from growing your own food to roasting coffee beans. The masterclasses are again popular and often heavily booked – so best to check the full programme very soon. So I do hope I’ve inspired you to check out the details for these events and many, many more on the festival website, visit www.melbournefoodandwine.com.au Just in case you don’t get to any of the festival events – here’s a recipe – our own little ‘masterclass’ in the home.
Port Pier Mussels
This is a recipe shared from Xenia Pages... former owner of Port Pier Café. Ingredients: 1kg fresh Portarlington mussels (about 25-30) scrubbed and beards removed 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 cup white wine 3 cloves garlic, crushed 400gm diced (tinned) tomato, fresh herbs (parsley, oregano/mixed herbs) Approx 2 tablespoons, chilli 1 bay leaf to taste Dash of olive oil to taste Preparation and cooking In a heavy based pan, heat olive oil on medium, heat add onion and cook until soft and gold in colour Add garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes, add herbs, chilli and bay leaf.

Ready to serve with lots of bread. *No salt added just in case mussels are too salty.

Apollo Bay and Pako Festa join forces
TWO OF the region’s finest festivals are teaming up for a special cultural partnership. Apollo Bay Music Festival and Pako Festa will embrace cultural diversity through music, dance and visual art. The Pako Festa is one of Victoria’s finest multicultural festivals and leads the way in celebrating diversity in the region. In 2010, The Apollo Bay Music Festival is sponsoring the Most Culturally Aware category of the Pako Festa Parade. The winning float will lead the opening Apollo Bay Music Festival Parade on Friday, March 26 and will also win tickets to this award-winning regional event. The successful Pako Festa float will add to the visual spectacular of Apollo Bay’s opening event, while also raising awareness and understanding of Victoria’s cultural diversity. Apollo Bay Festival director, Caroline Moore, believes the partnership is a significant development as the festival strives to break down cultural barriers through music, dance and art. “2010 marks the 18th year for Apollo Bay and we are committed to work with leading regional organisations to further embrace the cultural diversity of our state,” she said. Pako Festa is celebrating its 28th year in 2010, meaning the partnership unites two organisations with a combined total of 46 years in promoting community art and cross-cultural performances.
A feature for both festivals will be the performance of The King of Pako Festa – King Marong and his band Afro Mandinko. The Apollo Bay parade will feature community artists, street performers, musicians and a bagpiper or two and the highlight will be the blessing of the Festival by the Tashi Lhunpo Monks. The 2010 Apollo Bay programme features a stellar line-up, including legendary American performer and social activistist Josh White jnr, Charlie McMahon and more than 70 international and national artists. The festival will also hold workshops in Tibetan ritual dance and chanting, didgeridoo, and Appalachian clogging, providing attendees with an opportunity to take part in unique cultural experiences. Community groups interested in entering a float in the 2010 Apollo Bay Music Festival opening Street Parade should contact Brendan Kennedy on 0412 608 362. This year’s Apollo Bay Music Festival takes place on March 26, 27 and 28. Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by phoning 1300 438 849 or by visiting www.moshtix.com The Apollo Bay Music Festival is also working with Southern Otway Landcare Network and CARBONSmart to work towards a carbon neutral event.
King Marong and his band, Afro Mandinko, will be a hit at this year’s Apollo Bay Music Festival.

Regional funding now up for grabs DO YOU have an exciting arts project? Will it begin after June 30 this year? If so, a Regional Arts Fund grant could help to make it a reality. Regionally-based Victorian organisations and individuals can apply for project grants of up to $15,000 for projects involving professional artists that result in a public outcome in the community in which they are based. The fund is an initiative of the Australian government, which gives all Australians wherever they live better access to opportunities to practise and experience the arts. The Regional Arts Fund supports the arts in regional, rural and remote Australia and is administered in Victoria by Regional Arts Victoria. New community grant categories have been developed in response to the increasing competitiveness of the Regional Arts Fund. The same eligibility will apply across all categories, but new categories will ensure that smaller, more developmental projects can be fairly represented among grant recipients. It is essential that you contact Regional Arts Victoria if you are interested in applying. Applications for project grants for round 1 of the fund are now open and close next Tuesday (March 9). For more information, including guidelines and application forms, visit www.rav.net.au/funding-andresources/fund or contact Joe Toohey at Regional Arts Victoria on 9644 1809 or email jtoohey@rav.net.au
Skip along to the Potato Shed A SLICE of iconic Melbourne will come to Drysdale this weekend when contemporary Australian group Skipping Girl Vinegar performs at the Potato Shed. The Melbourne-based musicians, who named themselves after the famous Richmond neon sign, will perform an all-ages Sunday afternoon gig to kick off the Shedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 theatre season. Skipping Girl Vinegar are an old world, altacoustic four-piece obsessed with melody who have become one of the most talked about bands in Australia today. Comprising Melbourne brother-sister duo Mark and Sare Lang, and their respective childhood friends Chris Helm and Amanthi Lynch, the band have earned high rotation on Triple J and on Rage on the ABC. Their debut single One Chance was the Australian iTunes single of the week and was championed by major alternative radio nationwide. Skipping Girl Vinegar will appear at the Potato Shed as part of their One Long Week Tour. They will be supported by singersongwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leena, who has recently supported acts such as Tim Finn, Rufus Wainwright and Lior and worked with ARIA award-winner Josh Pyke on her debut EP Mean Old Clock. The Potato Shed gig will be an all-ages event with table seating and BYO supper.

Taste the difference at Hanners
Tuesday 2 March 2010
BY SARAH LAWRENCE
FOR A memorable meal in a relaxed and stylish atmosphere head to Hanners Restaurant. The restaurant in Peppers, The Sands Resort, in Torquay, has beautiful views of the golf course in a spacious and classy setting. “The restaurant is very popular with local groups, we have Lions, Rotary and the many other groups come here often for functions,” said food and
beverage operations manager, Damian Richards. “The first Sunday of every month we have the Melbourne Jazz Quartet come play. It’s an excellent afternoon.” The menu is a mix of modern and relaxed European flavours. For lunch their signature dish is the steak sandwich that includes prime beef steak, chargrilled capsicum, salad greens, red onion jam and King Island brie on house made bread with a basil
pesto (pictured, below left). There is also an extensive list of gourmet pizzas. Dinner flows on to a gourmet a la carte menu that is filled with local and fresh produce. One of their standout dishes on the menu is the 500-gram grass fed Tasmanian rib-eye on the bone produced by Cape Grim Beef, which is served with mushroom and Mediterranean vegetables and a red wine and olive butter. “People love it. We have the exclusive rights to
the Tasmanian beef in Victoria,” he said. Even the dessert menu is unique and interesting. It includes a peppered pineapple with a chili sorbet as well as Kaffir lime leaf pannacotta served with summer berries. To finish up summer, they have a fantastic happy hour on Fridays from 6.30pm to 7.30pm where there is 20 per cent off selected local wines. Hanners is located at 2 Sands Boulevard, Torquay. For more information call 5264 3333.
Theatre troupe prepares for new show TORQUAY Theatre Troupe’s technical crew will be put to the test when The Scottish Play by Graham Holliday opens in Torquay next month. The complexity of lighting used and sound effects needed throughout the play is also being worked upon by the technical side of the troupe, while the actors are busy rehearsing their lines. When amateur actor, Michael, gets the opportunity to achieve his dream of directing Shakespeare’s famous Scottish play with the Peppercorn Players, problems start to surface. But is this due to his own passionate desire to achieve his dream at all costs, or is it caused by the curse that has been associated with this particular play since it was first penned?
surfcoasttimes.com.au
Lighting technician, Jenny Stewart, is busy devising a lighting plan that will do justice to this comedy/drama. Stewart is looking for an assistant to help throughout the staging of the play, and anyone interested can contact the play’s director, Maryanne Doolan, for further information. Performances will take place on April 15, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 at 8pm and on Sunday April 18 at 2pm at the Senior Citizen’s Hall in Price Street, Torquay. Tickets are available from Surf Sight Optical, Gilbert Street, Torquay, or bookings can be made by phoning Marie on 5261 9035. Ticket prices are $17 for adults and $13 concession.

Art show continues to grow BARWON Heads Arts Group is gearing up for its annual art show later this month. This year, the show will be held over two days at two different venues. On Saturday, March 20, the show will be held at the Senior Citizens Hall in Clifford Parade, Barwon Heads, from 10am-4pm On the Sunday, the show will be held on the foreshore under the trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where the group will be using a marquee to display its works. More than 100 paintings are expected to be on display â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show to be moved back to the Senior Citizens Hall if the weather is not suitable. While a number of the works will be exhibited by artists who have been a part of the group for a number of years, it will be the first display for Judy Trevaskis, who joined the group just weeks ago. Trevaskis has been painting on and off for more than a decade, and it was only a Christmas voucher that prompted her to return more frequently. This is the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth weekend art show, and all works will be for sale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; framed and unframed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will include local scenery, landscapes, abstracts and many other styles of painting, and all are originals.

Step inside Gilliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Godzone THE LONG-AWAITED return of the Geelong Performing Arts Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alcoa Theatre Season 2010 starts this month. To kick off the new season of show, the irreverent and irrepressible Max Gillies returns in the political satire, Godzone, a fiercely funny dissection of Australian politics written by Gillies and Guy Rundle. Just when Kevin and Julia thought it was safe to go back in the waterâ&#x20AC;Ś Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fervour in the revivalist tent, where Reverend Kevin of Rudd Ministries, in a sermon from the German translated via Mandarin, tells his congregation that religion is the new politics and vice versa. Called up to testify, his guests, drawn from the great and the good, will each bear witness to the powerful spirit moving across this land. Folly is his piĂąata. Max Gillies has been pricking
pomp, slaughtering sacred cows and beating up bĂŞte noirs for decades. In Godzone his trail of destruction continues with a new cast of victims. The Melbourne Theatre Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Godzone will be in the Blakiston Drama Theatre for six shows from March 16 to 20. For more information or to book tickets, phone the Box Office on 5225 1200 or visit the GPAC website at www. gpac.org.au Following Godzone, the 2010 Alcoa Theatre Season continues with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;feelgreatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; true story of girl group The Sapphires, four hot soul sisters from regional Victoria sent to entertain the troops in Vietnam, starring chanteuses Christine Anu and Casey Donovan. The Sapphires also has the honour of being the first show to be staged in The Playhouse, GPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly refurbished Ford Theatre.
The Grumpy Old Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Travelling Rock and Roll Laughter Show includes (from left) Geoff Sinnbeck, Robert Trott, Bryan Eaton and Colin Mockett.

Come and see the Wizard at work
TWO OF the most highly skilled musicians in the country will be appearing at the Minya Winery as part of their annual Minya by Moonlight concerts. Andrew Farrell, one of the finest piano players in the country, along with Dave McMillanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dynamic guitar and vocals comprise the duo Wizard and Oz. For several years, Wizard and Oz travelled the hard roads, busking and appearing at venues of various dimensions and reputation, even being thrown out of a certain festival for pulling audiences away from the marquees! Now firmly established as one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique talents with venues to match their reputation,
Wizard and Oz perform their own tunes along with classics from the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. Farrell grew up in the southern suburbs of Melbourne and started piano lessons at the age of eight. He studied classical music for many years and then after hearing some boogie woogie thought that it might be fun to play. He then set about playing every style of music that appealed to him, which gave him a wide and varied arsenal of tunes. McMillan spent his early years in London and Surrey, he was given a small guitar when he was four and eventually found that not only could it be used as a cricket bat, but also to make music.
He played solo guitar until he was 15 and then someone asked if he could sing. He found that he could, and then started digesting all kinds of music. Farrell and McMillan moved to the Mornington Peninsula where they both were playing solo gigs when they met in 1986 and have been making music
together ever since. The concert will be held on the grounds of the winery and those who attend can bring a cushion or rug, but no chairs. The concert starts at 7.30pm and for more information, phone 5264 1397 or visit www. theminya.com.au
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting towards the end of the week on a Thursday and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired from a busy working day. Why cook when you can have a delicious steak from Bomboras on the Surf Coast Highway in Torquay? For $18 you get a 300-gram grainfed, porterhouse steak with chips, salad and a huge selection of sauces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had nothing but compliments from customers who have enjoyed the steak,â&#x20AC;? said Tom McGrath, owner of Bomboras. Bomboras is located at Shop 2, 108-110 Surf Coast Highway. For more information, phone 5264 7881. Photo: SARAH LAWRENCE

Roadworks & Temporary Road Closure Blackgate Road As part of delivering our Roads to Recovery and Capital Works program, and further to works in November 2009, Council will be reconstructing a 0.9km section of Blackgate Rd between Pt Impossible Rd / Minya Lane and the Thompson Creek Bridge. This extends the work done in November 2009 to restore the rapidly deteriorating road pavement to an acceptable standard. This section includes installing culverts, in conjunction with Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, to improve wetland drainage and to prevent flooding of the Pt Impossible Rd. Work will begin on Monday 1 March 2010 and is expected take about six weeks to complete. During that time, Blackgate Rd from Minya Lane to Breamlea Road will be closed to all through traffic. Traffic will be detoured via Horseshoe Bend Rd, Lower Duneed Rd and Bluestone School Road. We thank you for your co-operation during this process. Please contact the Civil Works Co-ordinator, Tony Potter, on 5261 0600 or email info@surfcoast.vic.gov.au if you have any queries during construction.

Have you been burning the midnight oil to complete professional projects? Too much work can make Goats grumpy - and ghastly to live with! This week favors doing less work, and having more fun and adventures. Impromptu trips are highlighted so pack your bags, jump in the car (or onto a plane) and enjoy a well-earned break.
Is your day-to-day routine in sync with your night-time hopes and dreams? If the answer is no, then perhaps there are creative (and innovative) ways you can bring the two closer together? Take extra care of your health as you nurture body and soul with good food and regular exercise. And are you up-to-date with your medical checks?
Whether you are reading, writing or catching up with friends, it’s time to communicate and exchange ideas with others. You’re at your capricious worst on Thursday, when your moods oscillate from crabby to charming – and back again. Saturday is your pick of the week as you attract more love, success and excitement into your life.
There may be some friction this week between your need for time out, and the unexpected demands of loved ones and workmates. Librans love to please others and can have trouble saying ‘no.’ You need to be firm and set boundaries, otherwise you’ll end up tired, emotional, overworked - and no use to anyone.
Be sensitive to the moods of children and friends, as the Full Moon triggers temper tantrums or emotional meltdowns. On Thursday, Uranus jolts you out of your cosy complacency and injects spontaneity and surprises into your day. It’s time to form exciting new friendships with a totally different kind of crowd.
Lions like to live in the lap of luxury but, with the Full Moon activating your $$$ zone, splashing cash around could lead to money meltdowns, especially if you are involved in a financial partnership. Don’t be too set (and stubborn) in the way you approach an intimate relationship - you’re in the mood for novelty and experimentation.
Is your social life erratic at the moment? Heaps of invitations and entertaining things to do one week; and nothing the next? Feast or famine is also the name of the game for many singles. This week’s stars promise romantic surprises as you find yourself attracted to someone who is the complete opposite of your ‘usual’ type.
It will be a real juggling act this week, with money unexpectedly coming in – and just as quickly going out again. If you can discriminate between what is essential and what is superfluous, then you’ll enjoy yourself without breaking the bank. When it comes to love, hold onto your hat and enjoy the bumpy ride!
Get ready for domestic dramas and career chaos! This week’s Full Moon sees Gemini gadflies running around doing ten things at once and causing havoc on the home front. And, with Venus and Uranus joining forces in your job zone, some Twins will be surprised by unexpected changes at work – professionally and romantically.
This week’s stars urge you to be more experimental and adventurous in the way you express yourself and relate to others. Move beyond your comfort zone and try something you’ve never done before. You might surprise yourself! Singles – love is likely with someone from a totally different background.
This week’s Full Moon lights up your Brilliant Career zone, so you’ll be raring to get ahead professionally. However it’s not a good time to make long-term decisions. Wait until you are more organized at work, and more settled at home. Family members won’t behave in predictable ways this week – and neither will you!
Mercury moves into your sign (from March 1-18) so it’s the perfect time to make the most of your creative mind, fertile imagination and colourful inner life. Your quote for the week is from birthday great Dr Seuss (born on March 2) “Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living… it enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”

Looking forward to the surf BY SARAH LAWRENCE
SURF Life Saving clubs all over the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula have been training hard for this weekend’s senior and junior Victorian Lifesaving Championships. It will be the first time the senior and junior events have been held on the same weekend, with the event to be held at Lakes Entrance. In particular, the Torquay nippers have been in training since July last year. More than 70 Torquay nippers have been putting in a weekly effort to get in form for the event. As the championships have got closer they have increased their training to four times a week. They have also been travelling around the state to places including beaches at Point Leo, Bancoora, Mentone and
South Melbourne for carnivals of the past months as further preparation for the championships. Head coach, Peter Coles, said he was looking forward to seeing how the nippers managed the beach conditions this weekend. “Last year the state carnival at Sandridge in Melbourne had completely flat water. Our kids didn’t like that because we train in the surf and a lot of the time it’s sizeable surf,” he said. “So they are looking forward and excited to going to the surf beach this year that could potentially have very big waves.”

Surf’s up with state grants STATE Premier John Brumby made a flying visit to Ocean Grove on Saturday to present two new surfing wheelchairs to people participating in Victoria’s surfing programme for people with a disability, after their old wheelchairs were damaged by vandals last year. Brumby and Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, presented the Disabled Surfers’ Association with two new all-terrain beach wheelchairs at a surfing carnival day at Ocean Grove beach. Brumby also announced an additional $5,000 grant to help the Ocean Grove Surf Lifesaving Club fund running costs and equipment, and free-up other resources to enhance their lifesaving capabilities. The loss of the two specially designed wheelchairs jeopardised the programme’s ability to provide access to the surf to people with a disability. The Victorian Government

has provided $8,000 to replace the broken chairs so the program can go ahead. For more on the association, visit www.disabledsurfers.org

FROM THE ANGLESEA
THE ANGLESEA Bowling Club ladies are quite pleased with their pennant achievements this season, particularly their No. 3 side, which finished second on the ladder after the final pennant round 18. They then played Clifton Springs at Torquay in the qualifying semi final, with all rinks up, and an overall win of 22 shots. Well done girls – a great team effort. Good luck in the grand final. Our catering ladies have also been very busy recently providing great cuisine for the following annual tournaments. Firstly, the ladies invitation triples with 18 teams competing. The winning team was Dawn Newton and Mary Porter from Anglesea with Pam Dove from Werribee. And secondly, the men’s Alcoa fours
with 22 teams competing. The event was won by the Anglesea team of Barry Mason, Jim Reed, Bob Evans and Robert Haines. The next Chicken Run will be held this Friday (March 5) at 3 pm. This is a great opportunity for limited members to come along and bowl with some of the more experienced bowlers in a casual fun game. Remember to put your name down on the list at the club before 2pm. The afternoon concludes with a barbecue and members’ draw (remember you must be at the clubhouse to claim your prize – so come along and join us). Non-members are welcome to come and try bowls by contacting the Anglesea Bowling Club on 5263 1229 to make arrangements for hire of bowls etc.

My Big Catch proudly sponsored by:
BY GARRY KERR
AS I alluded to last week we spent the whole week carrying out fishing clinics teaching students how to fish. We actually taught about 130 secondary students how to fish throughout the week. The clinics teach the kids the basics of fishing, such as how to bait their hooks, how to cast their lines and most important of all, how to handle a fish when they actually catch one. The statistics with Melbourne-based schools always interest me. The split was about 60/40 as to who had actually handled a rod and reel before, and when it came to who had actually caught a fish the split was more like 50/50. Where schools within the Geelong region seem to have a greater ratio of students who have fished before and actually caught fish before, with the ratio here more like 80/20 with the same ratio regarding catch. The students are split up into groups based on different factors, such as experience and ability, and once the groups are put in place they receive their own instructor, based on a ratio of one instructor to every six students. For those students that have never fished before it
was certainly a new experience, especially for some of the girls who had never touched a rod before, let alone caught a fish, and once they caught a fish they certainly let us all know about it. Even when they were out of sight from our group we could hear their screams of delight when they hooked a fish. The students fished Spring Creek, Anglesea River and the Erskine River on the Surf Coast, with the most productive system by far being the Anglesea River, with every student catching at least a few fish, each with some good size bream being taken including a stand out bream of 40cm, which was released. Spring Creek produced less fish but still produced some nice bream around the 30cm mark; the Erskine River produced some small bream with the biggest around 25cm. So the clinics provide a way for students in a safe environment to have their first introduction to fishing or to help them improve their fishing. There is nothing like putting a rod and reel in a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand and watching how they respond to the challenge of catching a fish.

bike safety IN FOCUS
98 PAUL PARIDAEN
PAUL Paridaen was the catalyst for Furio Rovere starting the ACCC in 2006. Rovere was inspired by Paradaen’s story of using bike riding goals to overcome cancer. After recovering from leukemia, he successfully rode a difficult section of the Tour de France – the 22km of Mont Ventoux. Paridaen was also helped by fellow member, Dr Paul Eagan to prepare mentally and physically through bike training. Once Rovere had heard their story, he joined them riding and the ACCC was born.
LORENZO MORO AND JENSEN WOODCOCK FROM TORQUAY CYCLING FACTORY
AS OWNER of the Torquay Cycling Factory (TCF) and member of the Torquay Cycling Club, Lorenzo Moro is dedicated to the message of bike safety. Over the last three years, Moro has run cycling safety nights to educate riders about bike etiquette. He will also go out on Saturdays with groups of riders to educate them how to ride safely. “For example, if they’re in a pack, we will tell them to stay closer to the edge,” said Moro. Jensen Woodcock is a professional cyclist and stunt rider but admits he still feels uneasy on the road. “Being courteous is most important. Riders and drivers need to consider each other,” he said.

Time to stand up for cycle safety ANGLESEA’S Furio Rovere believes it’s time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk when it comes to bike safety. Rovere started the Anglesea Cycling and Coffee Club (ACCC) four years ago – a club that now has more than 60 members. The group has four main aims: to create a friendly and warm environment, to encourage individuals of all ages and sporting talents to become involved, to support cancer research and most importantly, to create a better understanding between cyclists and motorists. “I want to make people think. People aren’t just a pinball game on the roads,” said Rovere. “We just want people to think that it’s actually a young person, old person, someone’s mother, brother, sister or well loved relative. “It’s not about blame. It’s about understanding,
communication and good old common courtesy. If our effort makes just one person think for just a few seconds, both cyclists and motorists, we’ve achieved something.” The ACCC is full of interesting and captivating characters who all share a passion for bike riding. The group’s oldest rider, Mel White is 69 and his wife is also in her 60s, and they have no problem riding more than 90km. They club also boasts Brian Mynott who was a St Kilda premiership player in 1966 and enjoys keeping up his fitness with riding.
Furio’s tops
DARREN GRAVETT
DARREN Gravettt is an Anglesea truck driver who is out to spread the message of bike safety as well as put it to practice when he is driving his truck. “Even though, I am out in my truck. I am aware of riders and courteous towards them,” said Gravett.
LINDY LESTER
ONE OF the inspiring characters from the ACCC is Lindy Lester. At 56, she will travel to Italy in the coming months to go on a 35day bike ride called La Bella Italia. The ride aims to raise money for the Oncology Children’s Foundation in Sydney. The retired physiotherapist believes that if it wasn’t for the ACCC she would not have been inspired to ride or take on such huge challenges.
FOR ROVERE, he considers his specially made ACCC tops an important aspect of the group’s attitude towards safety. “We want our clothing to represent responsible cyclists and responsible cycling,” explained Rovere. “We have designed our own cycle tops with the help of Body Torque’s owner Felicity Dales. These tops proudly showcase the region and are designed for high visibility and are easily recognisable.” He hopes that the tops will remind people they are passing another responsible and educated cyclist. William Collins models the ACCC tops while holding a TCF standout top.
