MOVIE ON THE MOUNT
Annika and Henry Riddle (aged 7 and 3 respectively) grab their popcorn and a good spot at the temporary drive-in cinema at Mount Duneed Regional Primary School on Friday night. The school’s second ‘Movie on the Mount’ night invited about 100 families to park on the oval, tune in their radios and watch a screening of children’s film, Rio 2. Event organiser Belinda Loone said last year’s debut event raised about $5,000, and they hoped to reach about $7,000 this year. Other activities on the night – sponsored by Villawood Properties’ Armstrong Mount Duneed development – included a jumping castle, wet sponge throwing and a sausage sizzle. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR
Shire rejects application for Torquay Eco Park
ECO NO-NO BY JAMES TAYLOR
THE Surf Coast Shire has knocked back an application to build a 50-hectare caravan park in Freshwater Creek, citing community concerns about its size and location. About 50 people in the gallery at Tuesday’s meeting applauded as councillors unanimously voted to refuse a planning permit for the proposed Torquay Eco Park, which would have been built on the corner of Coombes and Freshwater Creek roads.
However, the caravan park is not entirely off the table, as applicants BCR Asset Management can now appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The officers’ recommendation accepted by councillors cites four grounds for the refusal: • The proposal’s scale and intensity is contrary to the rural setting of the Thompson Valley and the transition environment of the Low Density Residential Zoned land to the south-east
• The proposal’s scale and intensity is not compatible with the non-urban break role of the Thompson Valley • The proposed land use substantially exceeds projected accommodation requirements identified in the Great Ocean Road Destination Management Plan and concentrates the impacts of tourism growth into one area, and • Insufficient information has been provided regarding the operational structure, accommodation standard, the nature of the community facilities, the
permanency of residents, and potential lease arrangements to allow a full understanding and characterisation of the proposed land use. Cr Brian McKiterick said there was “a lot of angst in the community” about the proposal – which received 224 objections and only one submission in support – and the council should be able to make decisions based on community expectations. Cr Rod Nockles acknowledged the shire’s need for caravan parks, but said the application had to be assessed against
the shire’s own strategic documents. “We do have need for that, but this is not the location.” Cr Heather Wellington said unanswered questions about the permanency of residents had caused concern, but that was not the main issue. “The issue is you don’t have that many people in a Farming Zone on the border of your town.” She said the state government was wrong to have altered the planning rules last year to allow caravan parks to be built in Farming Zone land.

MAYOR’S COLUMN Positioning the City of Greater Geelong as a smart 21st century city
century products. Geelong and the Bellarine is about to launch into an era of historic growth and prosperity – as a smart 21st century city.
This week, I am in South Australia talking at an urban development conference about Geelong’s future as a smart 21st century city. I’ve been asked to speak about our economic future by the Urban Development Institute of Australia. It’s a great opportunity to promote our region’s many investment opportunities and to highlight how Geelong is transforming itself into a centre for knowledge-based industries. It’s a great honour to be asked to speak about Greater Geelong, as we are being held up as a model to other regions as to how to develop new industries and new opportunities. I have positioned the City of Greater Geelong as a smart 21st century city. This is not a pie-in-the-sky statement – it’s our current and future reality based on our existing capacity in fields such as research, education, bioscience and advanced manufacturing. We have worked with partner organisations to establish industry clusters that share knowledge and present a united voice when we pitch for public and private funding. Having a great relationship with a great university is a big factor in our success to date. Deakin University has been a formidable ally when it comes to developing new industries, led by their outstanding Vice Chancellor Jane Den Hollander. One of the points of difference for our region is our determination to take academic research and turn it into a commercial venture. This reflects our longstanding history as a city of inventors and manufacturers. We are applying existing manufacturing expertise and supply chains to new 21st

MORE than 30 riders pedalled into Lorne earlier this week on their 500-kilometre charity ride raising money for children in need. The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Ride for Sick Kids rolled down the Great Ocean Road and made a pit stop in Lorne on Monday, arriving at the Lorne Hotel after a long day in the saddle, having travelled 63.8 kilometres from Geelong. The Ride For Sick Kids is a seven-day cycling event that is aiming to raise $600,000 for RMHC programs in Victoria and Tasmania. There was no rest for the peloton as they made the 54.3-kilometre journey to Colac the following morning. Lorne Hotel manager David Upham and his father, John, are taking part in the ride, and Channel 7 media personality Hamish McLachlan has also saddled up. Riders will ride south-west today from Ballarat to Williamstown, before tomorrow’s last leg to Ronald McDonald House in Parkville. To donate, head to rideforsickkids.com.au.
Marriage equality sparks council mandate debate BY JAMES TAYLOR
EXACTLY what is and what is not council business was the subject of a lively debate in the Surf Coast Shire council chamber on Tuesday. The debate started when Cr Eve Fisher attempted to move notice of motion 124, which stated that councillors publically supported marriage equality, irrespective of sex or gender identity. The motion also stated that the council would write to local, state and federal members of Parliament,
the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission and the Commonwealth Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission to advise them of that support. This was immediately challenged by Cr Heather Wellington, who said the council had no policy mandate under local government law to move such a motion. Perhaps not coincidentally, notice of motion 125 on the meeting’s agenda was filed by Cr Wellington about the “foundations of good governance”, including that the council would
“ensure it allocates its financial and human resources appropriately and does not divert them unnecessarily from areas in which it has direct responsibilities”. “I think we probably do all support marriage equality, but that’s not the point,” Cr Wellington said. “This is not a vote about marriage equality; it’s about this council using this chamber as a policy playground.” Defending her motion, Cr Fisher said Australia appeared “bigoted and backward” in not allowing same-sex couples to enter into a legally
binding marriage. “Advocating for equality in my community is very much council business.” Cr Wellington’s amended version of motion 124 was defeated. The original motion was then put to a vote and supported by all except councillors Wellington, Rod Nockles and Clive Goldsworthy, as well as Cr Brian McKiterick, who abstained. Notice of motion 125 was then debated, put to a vote and lost, with only councillors Wellington, Nockles and Goldsworthy supporting it.

Crompton on top with Indigenous art prize win
Classifieds MON 4PM
BY TIFFANY PILCHER
cheryl@surfcoasttimes.com.au
YEARS of collecting and manipulating seaweed to create various forms and paintings have paid off for Bellbrae self-taught artist Jenny Crompton. Over the weekend, she took out the state’s most prestigious Indigenous arts prize, the $30,000 Deadly Art Award at the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards, held at the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Her winning installation, Gathering at Godocut, is comprised of 25 intricate seaweed forms, up to 1.5 metres in height, representing different Wadawurrung clans and is inspired by the shape of traditional tapping sticks. The award judges said the deeply personal Gathering at Godocut offers representations of both strength and fragility. “The judges were impressed by the delicate construction techniques, the sensory elements and the carefully considered installation,” they said. “The work has a distinct sense of place conveyed through the careful choice of natural materials which have been collected seasonally near the artist’s home. “The artist has expressed her respect for, and understanding of, the various types of locally available seaweeds and linked this to her growing knowledge of the history of her Wadawurrung culture around the Godocut (Point Addis) area. “The success of this work is

evidenced by the fact that each of the three judges independently chose it as the winning piece.” Ms Crompton said she was overwhelmed to hear she had won the prize after taking great consideration before entering. “It was such a big thing for me to even enter so I was in shock and it didn’t register. I’ve been incredibly nervous, some of the work was so beautiful and I know the amount of
effort that went into applying for everyone so it was hard to think about actually winning. “The fact that the judge’s decision was unanimous really made it for me, when you get that sort of acknowledgement it really matters. It’s never been about the money for me, it’s about the recognition and I’m so grateful to have received that.” Ms Crompton said she would keep working with seaweed after developing
the method to create Gathering at Godocut over an 18 month period. “I will do a bit more kelp work, the journey continues. I would have kept doing this work had I not won, but it gives me more confidence to enter competitions and to approach different galleries with ideas.” The Victorian Indigenous Art Awards exhibition is now open at Art Gallery of Ballarat and runs until Sunday October 5.

Links Property breast cancer campaign hits close to home BY TIFFANY PILCHER
TORQUAY Links Property’s campaign to raise awareness and support for breast cancer research resonated a little more than usual with their latest happy customer. Torquay mum Anita Crouch, who sold her house with Torquay Links Property this month, was battling breast cancer while also going through the selling process. She was diagnosed the day she decided to put the Ballyliffen Crescent house she shared with her husband Daniel, son Jarrah, 6, and daughter Olive, 3, on the market, and moved into the recovery phase as of this month, coinciding with the sale. With Torquay Links Property donating $1,000 from every house sale to the Breast Cancer Network Association throughout June, July and August this year, Ms Crouch was thrilled with the outcome. “The Links team have been so flexible and understanding, it doesn’t matter whether you are sick or dealing with something like cancer, they have the compassion and understanding needed for a commitment like selling your house. “Looking back, that whole time was just one big blur, I can’t remember a lot from that period and my mind was all over the place. The girls were so helpful and they made everything so easy. “All I wanted was a pink sold sticker on the sign, now we’ve got it. “It’s so fitting that the sale of my house is part of their campaign, it’s perfect.” Torquay Property Links principal Lynne Hayden said that as an all-female team, they were thrilled

IN BRIEF Barwon Water decides to build pipeline to Aireys BARWON Water manager Joe Adamski said the board took on board “the strong opinions of both sides” before deciding to build a pipeline connecting Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven to the Geelong water network. The 11-kilometre pipeline will replace the water treatment plant at the Painkalac Dam and will cost $6.6 million. Mr Adamski said the board considered factors including water security, bushfire resilience, cost, water quality, community and stakeholder feedback and environmental impact. However, residents campaigning to keep the dam expressed their “extreme disappointment” and labelled the $2.7 million saving of building the pipeline “at the very least questionable”. “Barwon Water did not conduct a survey of residents, nor did it set up a community reference group to consider the upgrade options as it did for Colac residents. This was because the overwhelming view of residents here supported a new treatment plant,” Vince Mahon said.

The Anglesea River has again turned acidic following upstream inflows caused by winter rain. Surf Coast Shire says no fish deaths have been reported, and the water quality of the river and its tributary creeks will continue to be monitored. The acid levels have caused a blue tinge in some areas of the estuary, and the council will install signs advising against swimming or eating fish from areas of the river where the acid levels are above national guidelines for public swimming. “The Corangamite Catchment Management Authority has recently conducted a fish survey to help determine the number of fish present within the estuary,” a council spokesman said. “This information will inform management decisions around potential artificial openings of the estuary.”

Great Ocean Road to reopen tonight VICROADS issued a status update for the Great Ocean Road earlier this week reminding users of the road that it would be closed for essential works until 6pm tonight. The road has been closed to all through traffic between Wye River and Kennett River since 6pm Sunday August 24. VicRoads regional director William Tieppo said the road closed on time at 6pm Sunday night with works commencing immediately. “The final piece of equipment, a big crane had arrived by about 10am Monday morning after navigating its way through the Otway Forrest,” Mr Tieppo said. “The crew wasted no time for a massive hole to appear in the Great Ocean Road and excavation was completed mid-afternoon Monday. “They laid some bedding material, compacted it and managed to place the first End-Wall on the ocean side on Monday night. Placement of bedding material will continue followed by lifting the new pipes into position. “I take this opportunity to remind drivers to plan their journey looking ahead for the most suitable route to get to their destination. “More than 30 on road message boards remain on roads leading to the Great Ocean Road to ensure drivers are aware of the closure and detour route.” Mr Tieppo said there was still a bit of work to do before one lane would be open on the road, but works were on track for the road being reopened to traffic on Thursday night. “Minor traffic delays may be experienced after the closure as we install lane closures and reduced speed limits to complete final surface and guard rail works. “This is expected to take only a couple of weeks.” The closure was required to complete essential upgrade works to replace a large drainage pipe under the road and avoid future, longer term impacts.
Term of Bells task force extended
BY JAMES TAYLOR
Crews have worked around the clock on the Great Ocean Road this week to complete essential upgrade works to replace a large drainage pipe under the road.
THE term of the Bells Beach Task Force has been extended to act as consultants to the Surf Coast Shire as it develops a new Coastal Management Plan (CMP) for the iconic surfing reserve. The 15-member taskforce, appointed in July 2013, was to be disbanded after it presented its final vision and list of matters to be considered to the council next month. However, councillors voted on Tuesday to alter the task force’s terms of reference to allow it to provide further advice to the shire as it draws up the CMP over the next 12 months. John Thwaites will also remain as the task force’s independent chair. Cr Libby Coker said the CMP was at an exciting stage. “We’ve managed to get consensus on a vision for Bells that everyone can agree with. “The community really will have a Bells Beach that can be loved into the future.” During public question time, Andrew Cherubin from the Bells Beach Preservation Society asked the council why the task force was not being disbanded, “as agreed with the community”. Cr Coker said the task force’s terms of reference did allow for its term to be extended by the council. “Rather than let all that passion, knowledge and experience go, we’re continuing with them as a reference group. “I want to assure you we want to work with you to get the best outcome.” The shire is well aware of the community anxiety about the future of Bells Beach, with the report into the CMP acknowledging the council’s reputation was at risk if the CMP does not have independent input from community representatives.”

A slow wind blows BY DEAN WEBSTER
SURF Coast Shire's sustainability icon that was damaged in a wind storm last year, is set to turn again after nearly 12 months of laying idle. The wind turbine, an Urban Green Energy Vertical Axis Wind Generator designed in the US and made in China has adorned council's five-star civic building on the Surf Coast Highway since construction, but has remained motionless for most of that time. Council engineers shut the turbine down after the wind damaged a vein. Council director of infrastructure Chris Cowley said replacement of the damaged wind turbine had been delayed due to the resolution of warranty

and insurance issues. “These have now been resolved and a replacement turbine ordered,� Mr Cowley said. “As the turbine is being shipped from overseas it is anticipated that it will be fitted and operational within the next seven to 10 weeks. “Due to the cost of crane hire, the damaged turbine will stay in place until the new one has arrived, when the removal and new installation will occur on the same day.� The roof-top turbine was to be the prominent sustainability feature of council’s new office, complementing solar panels, re-use water systems and solar efficient building design, which all contribute to the building’s green star energy efficiency rating.
New fishing platforms to land at Spring Creek
Cr David Bell, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos and Cr Rose Hodge look over plans for the Spring Creek Critical Links project. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR
THE state government is looking to further improve the Spring Creek area with the construction of two fishing platforms on the Torquay waterway. Last week, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos announced the funding for the $60,000 all-abilities access platforms from the 2014/15 Recreational Fishing Grants Program. The platforms will be part of the $1.3 million Spring Creek Critical Links project, which received a $500,000 investment from the state government’s Regional Growth Fund in April. Mr Katos said the state government recognised the significant economic, social and cultural benefits of recreational fishing, and was committed to ensuring Victoria remained a top fishing destination for
locals and visitors. “The Spring Creek Critical Links project is another example of the Regional Growth Fund providing much needed funding to ensure important community led projects are completed. “Recreational fishing is enjoyed by thousands of Victorian individuals and families and builds stronger regional economies by supporting local bait and tackle stores, supermarkets, hotels and petrol stations.� He said more than $3.6 million raised from the sale of fishing licences was being allocated to community projects this year. “The Coalition government believes it is important to invest proceeds from the sale of licences directly back into the pastime fishers enjoy. This includes funding
projects around fishing access and facilities, fish stocking, sustainability and habitat, education, enforcement, and research. “Many of these projects will be carried out in partnership with local organisations that have identified opportunities to improve recreational fishing in their community .� The Spring Creek Critical Links project will features a pedestrian and bike bridge over the creek between the Ocean Views and Church estates and a path along the Spring Creek corridor to link the Great Ocean Road to Spring Valley Park, which will be redeveloped to include a new play space, shelter and picnic area. There will also be a natural play space at Spring Creek Reserve, a new picnic area and car park at the end of Aurora Crescent, and installation of new signage.

Shire turns up pressure on unconventional gas BY JAMES TAYLOR
THE Surf Coast Shire has challenged all major political parties to declare their position on unconventional gas exploration and development before November’s state election. Councillors at the shire, which has supported a moratorium on the practice (also known as fracking) since 2012, unanimously supported Cr Heather Wellington’s notice of motion at their meeting on Tuesday. The motion expresses the council’s extreme
concern at the potential impact of unconventional gas on the shire’s communities and at the lack of appropriate regulatory framework. It also calls on all major political parties to widen the moratorium on fracking in Victoria – extended by the state government until July 2015 – to encompass all unconventional gas exploration and development “unless and until there is a clear community mandate to proceed�. “I suspect that will be a very long time indeed,� Cr Wellington said. “It’s become clear to me there’s not a very clear
understanding of these issues in the community. “There are claims that this is an economically positive activity, but the real economics are not clear.� Cr Libby Coker called on the state government to be thorough and to host an independent investigation. “The state government is running a state-wide consultation but it’s unlikely we’ll hear about it before the election.� Cr Eve Fisher said there were grounds for the council to apply for a shire-wide exemption to
Breakfast event has brands on the menu BY JAMES TAYLOR THE “keeper of the brand� at a famous Torquay surf label has shared some of the secrets behind what he does at Torquay Commerce and Tourism’s latest business breakfast. Rip Curl International’s group advertising and marketing chairman Neil Ridgway spoke to a crowd of more than 50 people at the Torquay Hotel on Tuesday morning. Mr Ridgway, whose previous job was in magazine publishing, said his perception of Rip Curl’s brand was already very strong before he joined the company in 2003. “It was very professional and in control, but it was also a place where having fun was fine. They didn’t take themselves or surfing too
seriously; and still don’t.� He said Rip Curl did not consider itself a retailer or a wholesaler, but a brand marketing company. “The brand comes first. Everything else, including the quite naturally very important thing of making a profit at the end of the day, will flow behind the brand if you manage your brand and company right.� He defined a brand as being “built on a feeling or perception that becomes real or tangible through the things it becomes famous for�. Mr Ridgeway said brands should have a clear vision and values, as this provided consistency as well as allowing for flexibility. He showed a list of Rip Curl’s 11 brand values – including ‘The Search’, ‘irreverence’, and
‘reliability’ – which are used as a filter for all of the company’s product ideas and messages. “Anyone can make a surfing product... but not everyone can make a Rip Curl product, and these are the things that make it a Rip Curl product or idea. If five of those things attach themselves to that idea and ring true, chances are we’re going to do it.� The next Torquay Commerce and Tourism business breakfast will feature Liz Price from Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism. Rip Curl International’s group advertising and marketing chairman Neil Ridgway speaks at Torquay Commerce and Tourism’s latest business breakfast. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR

night, it wasn’t long before the famous part of the world, where I am lucky enough to live, was front and centre. In fact on the Western Ring Road and the again on the Geelong Freeway, the road closures scheduled for the Great Ocean Road between Wye and Kennett River were the features of the large Vic Roads illuminated signage to ensure disruptions and inconvenience are minimised. As you read today’s update, the road will be reopening and just in time for the hoards of visitors that will be descending from all directions onto our town as the Lorne Performing Arts Festival gets underway tomorrow night. Great to see portions of the work commencing on the $50 million upgrade to our World Class icon and although there are bound to be the odd ongoing delay, the benefits will certainly override any short term pain. The Circus Oz big top, which during the week was erected in the front grounds of Mantra, immediately started a “buzz”” around town about the upcoming festivities, and signals the end of Lorne’s hibernation period. The strategic planning and work of the LBTA and their We Love Lorne campaign, has successfully continued to extend Lorne’s “shoulder season” while signalling the start of our fantastic line up of upcoming festivals, the envy of many resort and coastal towns. Congratulations to our local A grade netballers who defeated Apollo Bay last Sunday to progress into the next round of finals series. A special mention to young Lorne local Ruby Meredith, after playing U/15’s on the Saturday, backing for the Sunday game and being listed as one of Lorne’s best players in the open Age Group. Although our U/15 girls had an “off day” on Saturday and were defeated by South Colac, they have a second chance and will take on Irrewarra Beeac this Sunday, to make it to two Lorne netball teams continuing their finals action. It was great to witness both weekend games and be part of a large Lorne contingent that were supporting our local teams – Good luck on Sunday girls! While on great efforts, a big pat on the back to the new team at the Lorne Bowls Club, led by new President Tony Peddie, in securing the services of Matt Dempsey in opening the Seastar Restaurant at their club. Another great addition to our fine array of local dining establishments. The thoughts of Lorne are with Michael (Camel) Callanan, Christine and family after Camel’s recent major surgery. Hope the recovery is going well Camel and best wishes from us all!
IAN STEWART CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE FOR LORNE
Help Celebrate our 135th Anniversary! This year, the Lorne Campus of the Lorne-Aireys Inlet P-12 College turns 135 and to commemorate the occasion, the Lorne Parent Club are hosting a party for anyone who’s ever been associated with the school – students, their parents and teachers – and their friends. In fact everyone is invited! It will be held at the Lorne Life Saving Club from 6:30pm on Saturday October 25 2014 and we are planning a night to be enjoyed by all ages, from 18 to 108! Local band “The Conversation”, featuring ex-Beachniks members plus guests, will be playing from 7pm, but no so loudly that old friends can’t chat, and then for those wanting to dance the night away, there will be a DJ (Harrison Taylor, BT’s son) playing from 10pm. Tickets will sell fast, so buy your tickets now from www.trybooking.com/97858 (our preferred method) or if you don’t have access to the internet, you can also buy tickets from the school. Early bird tickets are $40 each (for the first 50 sold) or else $60 each, and look for the Lorne’s school community - past & present page on Facebook to keep up to date with plans.

No surprise that Ted met his wife Vicki on the beach in front of the Surf Life Saving Club, since from the age of 11, so much of his life has been and is still connected to it. An active member and regular office bearer since 1956, he has successfully competed locally and nationally at many levels. In 1966 he was awarded The Wishart Medal as Victorian surf lifesaver of the year and in 1981, life membership of The Club. Ted has been The Club’s most successful Rescue and Resuscitation Competitor, winning eight Victorian State Championships, three Queensland State Championships, two silver medals at Australian Championships as well as gold in 1973 and 1984. In 1981 he took up open water swimming and swam in the first two Pier to Pub races. In all he has competed in 230 open water swims over 30 years and won 180 of them. In 1995 Ted established the Shark Bait Club for those who have completed ten Pier to Pub swims and has been running it ever since. Over 2000 swimmers have qualified for membership. As a boy, Ted collected stamps. This interest became lifelong, being only temporarily distracted by family responsibilities which included having three daughters. He is currently the Secretary of the Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria. A semi-retired civil engineer in a project management practice he established 24 years ago, Ted still swims with mates four times a week for enjoyment, no longer as a competitor. He has a yen for Gilbert and Sullivan, is a serious long distance walker, a devoted grandfather and loves going to Lorne.

Many VCAL hands make light work of vegetable gardens BY JAMES TAYLOR STUDENTS at Surf Coast Secondary College have put their green thumbs to work, constructing vegetable garden boxes in Torquay and Jan Juc last week. The Year 11 and 12 students, who are completing their Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), built and planted the boxes at a house in Jan Juc and at the Torquay Kindergarten. The group has been working on the project since May, following construction of vegetable boxes at
the school’s new campus in Torquay North, when they decided they wanted to give assistance to people to reduce their supermarket bills. The three-metre by one-metre by 600-millimetre garden in Jan Juc has a variety of vegetables, including lettuce, beans, peas, onions, snow peas and broccoli. The kindergarten garden is about a third of the size. Bunnings Warehouse Torquay donated all the materials and tools for the project, while Torquaybased business SouthPoint Garden Supplies
donated a truckload of soil. Surf Coast Secondary College teacher Mark Clayton said the gardens were part of VCAL’s focus on hands-on, applied learning. “It’s all about teamwork, problem-solving and practical skills.” He said the students visited the sites a few days before construction to measure them up and work out exactly what would be needed for the boxes. “They’ve had to re-dig a couple of holes, but it’s gone really well.”

Street closures to create village square in Torquay BY JAMES TAYLOR SECTIONS of Torquay’s main retail strip will be closed three times in the near future to create a shopping mall and ‘village square’ in the town. The plan, proposed by local traders and the Surf Coast Shire, will see parts of Gilbert Street closed on weekends that are out of the high peak visitor periods but still during good weather. A section of the street will be closed to vehicle traffic, and planter boxes and synthetic grass will be used along with tables and chairs to encourage people to come to the area to enjoy food and drinks. The three closures will be during: • Melbourne Cup weekend (October 31 to November 4) at the 80-metre brick paved section at the Pearl Street end • Cowrie Market weekend (December 19 to December 21) at the 100-metre section at The Esplanade end, and • Labour Day weekend (March 6 to March 9) at the 80-metre brick paved section at the Pearl Street end. The Surf Coast Shire has allocated $25,000 for the project, and councillors voted at their meeting on Tuesday to advertise their intentions and invite submissions. Cr Brian McKiterick said it was “about time” the plan was put into motion, as a similar project was first proposed in a 2002 document written about the revitalisation of Gilbert Street. He said the closures would be done on a temporary basis. “We’ll give it a village feel and see how it goes, rather than having a project that’s set in concrete.” Cr Eve Fisher said the council was already considering how the closures would affect parking and deliveries along Gilbert Street, but was enthusiastic about the project. “It’ll give the centre more atmosphere, it’ll warm the centre up.”

Richards listens to education issues BY JAMES TAYLOR
THERE are less than 100 days until the state election, and South Barwon candidate Andy Richards has sought to learn more about the education issues facing the electorate. An education forum at Waurn Ponds Library last week hosted by Mr Richards canvassed a range of issues, including Reading Recovery, class sizes, teacher numbers and training, school maintenance, TAFE, and early-years education. Mr Richards said the latter would become increasingly important in the future, as children’s
hubs were a good model but – at between $5 million to $8 million – expensive to build. “I note with interest that the Surf Coast Shire has been unable to deliver a children’s hub in Torquay; that’s one of their key asks from the state and federal government, to have that funded. “It’s an important issue for them, and hopefully one the Labor Party can address over the next couple of years.” At the other end of the scale, he said the assistance packages given to Alcoa workers to re-train at Gordon TAFE could also be improved. “A real problem with the TAFE system is there’s
no system out there that tells you what you’re getting for how much. “There’s no website, no book, no office of the state or federal government that helps the workers to determine whether a course is any good, and whether the course that they want to do is going to get them the job that they seek at the end of it.” In other state election news, the Liberals have chosen Josh Morris to be their new candidate for the Western Victoria Region. Mr Morris is presently the mayor of the City of Ballarat. The 31-year-old was endorsed to stand for the upper house electorate by the Liberals from a field of 12 candidates.

Extreme is Juc athlete Gray’s area JAN Juc athlete Peri Gray has been selected to represent Australia in an extreme adventure race. She will join Matt Duncan and Ben Allen in representing Australia in the Tri Nations Trophy at this year’s Act-BelongCommit Augusta Adventure Fest – the world’s biggest adventure race. The Tri Nations Trophy is a competition between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, held as part of the main ActBelong-Commit Augusta Adventure Race. Each nation has three designated competitors (two male and one female), all of whom compete as individuals and the nation with the lowest cumulative team time is the winner. The Australian team was selected through a public voting
system. Over 1,900 people voted, with Allen, Duncan and Gray scoring the highest number of votes. Gray is no stranger to adventure racing, with a long list of top three results in similar events, including coming first at the Lorne Adventure Fest last year. “It will be an enormous privilege to represent Australia in a sport that is my passion and to which I have been committed to for many years,” Gray said. Ben Allen, from North Wollongong NSW, comes from a surf lifesaving background originally but most recently has been focusing on off-road triathlons. Matt Duncan will have a hometown advantage, being born and bred in Western Australia. Duncan also has a surf lifesaving
background and is hoping to improve on his third place performance at the Act-BelongCommit Augusta Adventure Race last year. The Tri Nations Trophy was won by the New Zealand team last year and will be fiercely defended by kiwis Olly Shaw, Sam Manson and Emma McCosh. The South African team is yet to be announced. The Augusta Adventure Race is a 62-kilometre multidiscipline off-road race with over 1,900 competitors tackling a 12.5-kilometre coastal run, 1.9-kilometre ocean swim, 13-kilometre ocean paddle, 32-kilometre mountain bike and 2.5-kilometre beach run to the finish. It will be held at Augusta, South West, Western Australia Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 November.

Uncover the community’s strengths to build a stronger Geelong region BY JAMES TAYLOR THE answers to the problems facing the Geelong region can be found in the people and businesses that are already here, a forum heard last week. Social capitalist and self-described “community enthusiast” Peter Kenyon was the guest speaker at the Expansive Learning Network’s latest ‘Reimagining the Region – working together to address regional issues’ event. Participants at the forum at the Deakin Cats Community Centre discussed the eight characteristics of a healthy, vibrant, resilient and enterprising community and local economy. These are that it: • practices ongoing dialogue and broad-based community participation • fosters commitment to place • builds connection and collaboration • knows itself and builds on existing assets • shapes its future • acts with idea and opportunity obsession • embraces change and takes responsibility, and • generates leadership. Mr Kenyon, who is founder of community and economic development consultancy Bank of I.D.E.A.S., said change could and should come from the neighbourhood up, not the top down. “The greatest resource we have in any region is the set of communities that comprise it. “Each of us probably belong to 10-20 different types of communities – how do we start to use them as an asset, as a resource?” Quoting author Margaret Wheatley, he said there was no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. “I actually think that’s the most important
conversation that needs to be going on in the Geelong region: what do people care about? “When we start with what people really care about, there is no limit to the commitment that people will take to actually achieve that.” He said the Community Bank model was an
excellent example of a locally-driven solution to a problem facing a community (in this case, bank branch closures). Friday’s forum followed the first ‘Re-imagining the Region – learning as a driver for change’ event in June.

Bellbrae Hall draft plans go on public display BY JAMES TAYLOR THE Surf Coast Shire has announced the release of draft plans to extend the Bellbrae Hall and consolidate the town’s community facilities in one precinct. The draft Bellbrae Hall extension and strategic facilities masterplan was developed this year in consultation with the local community, to assess the most appropriate ways to meet the needs for open space and public facilities in the town. The proposal to consolidate facilities around the Bellbrae Hall and Bellbrae Reserve is consistent with long-term plans including the Bellbrae Structure Plan, developed with the community in 2012. As reported in the Surf Coast Times on July 31, councillors endorsed the draft plan at their July meeting. The plan proposes to extend the Bellbrae Hall, while removing infrastructure from the Bellbrae Picnic Reserve and replace the area with open space. Shire mayor Rose Hodge said the proposal aimed to make all facilities easier to use and to ensure facilities met community needs. “We recognise that there are some great facilities in Bellbrae that are really well used by a number of groups.We need to make sure the facilities are welldesigned and can meet local needs. “No decision has been made on these plans and any community input will be considered when the final plans come to council, so we encourage people to get involved and have their say.” Draft plans went on public exhibition last week in hard copy at Bellbrae Hall, Bellbrae Picnic Reserve, Bellbrae Oval, the council’s Torquay office and online at surfcoast.vic.gov.au. Final plans are expected to come before the council’s November meeting. Feedback marked ‘Bellbrae community facilities draft plans – Feedback’ can be sent to sthomas@surfcoast.vic.gov.au or by post, c/o Sue Thomas, Surf Coast Shire Council, PO Box 350, Torquay, 3228 before September 17.

Tough animal breeding laws proposed BY JAMES TAYLOR
THE state government has announced new laws to crack down on cruel and illegal dog and cat breeders and force them out of business. According to the amendment to the Domestic Animals Act introduced to Parliament last week, people with animal cruelty convictions will be banned from owning, managing or registering a domestic animal business for 10 years.
The ban would also apply retrospectively to any person convicted of animal cruelty in the past decade, and would apply to orders made under both Victorian and other state and territory animal cruelty laws. “The days of people returning to domestic animal businesses after being convicted of an animal cruelty offence will be stamped out,” Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said. “This legislation protects animals from cruel breeders, and it also gives Victorians confidence that
the Coalition government is weeding undesirable people out of domestic animal businesses.” He said the RSPCA now had greater powers to help welfare officers raid and shut down cruel and illegal breeding operations. “Together with local councils, RSPCA authorised officers play an important role in enforcing Victoria’s animal-cruelty laws and it is important that they have all the powers they need to take strong and swift action when the welfare and safety of vulnerable
animals is at risk.” The proposed amendment also introduces mandatory record keeping of puppies and kittens for the sale at pet stores. “The Department of Environment and Primary Industries is preparing to undertake a major review of Victoria’s mandatory Pet Shop Code later this year but these new record keeping requirements will become mandatory as soon as the amendment passes Parliament,” Mr Walsh said.
Any mail?
The series of five unique and creatively designed letterboxes in Kalkarra Crescent in Mt Duneed – the life-size Dr Who Tardis produces the tardis soundtrack and whilring lights when the mail is due to be collected.
BELLARINE PENINSULA RESORT STYLE LIVING ON A PRIVATE NINE HOLE GOLF COURSE
THE Mount Duneed postie would have received a shock when delivering the mail in Kalkarra Crescent in Mt Dunned this week. The owners of five properties in the street took on the friendly challenge of a neighbour to creatively enhance how they received the mail and unveiled their masterpieces – a series of five unique and creatively designed letter boxes – to the public on Sunday. One of the participants, Karen MacAdie, said the friendly challenge put to the residents of the semi-rural street was embraced, resulting in works of art that range in size and detail from an intricately detailed miniature stable house through to a life-size Dr Who Tardis – complete with tardis soundtrack and whirling lights when the mail is due to be collected. “There is a recycled metal cow on an escape mission bursting its way through the fence; an Eiffel Tower, no doubt an attempt at signifying the Paris-end of the road; and the natural driftwood and shell creation representing the proximity to surf and bush. “The letterboxes have already caused a lot of interest from passers-by and especially from the mail delivery staff, who even stopped to take photos.”

ADVERTORIAL
Dunroamin grabs leaders’ attention SENIOR executives from Geelong and Melbourne stepped up to the mark and attended a one-day leadership package at Dunroamin Leadership Academy which is a newly created facility based near Waurn Ponds, Geelong. Apprehension was replaced with confidence as the executives were given a deep insight to the meaning of real leadership by ex-military instructors that included a balanced blend of theory and practical exercises. Enterprise Geelong chief executive officer Russell Walker said: “I’ve participated in more leadership workshops and events over the years than I can count, but Dunroamin is a stand out. “I’ve learnt more about team leadership (and myself) from this program than from any other I’ve been involved in. It was also a hell of a lot of fun!” Other attendees, like Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, principal of School of Thinking, were challenged in a
variety of tasks to find innovative solutions and then get “buy in” from the group. “The Dunroamin Leadership Academy was the real thing,” he said. “Dunroamin equals quality.” The next one day course will be held on September 3. To book or to arrange a consultation for a tailored package visit dunroamin.com.au or call managing director Jackson Docherty on 0412 752 596.
3 SEP 2014 DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS Learn how to maximise your potential from highly experienced leaders during this one day leadership development workshop Many people move into a supervisory role with virtually no training. This means they face their new role without the proper skills to prepare them for the challenges and responsibilities they will now face. This interactive leadership training workshop provides a foundation for participants to learn the essentials of effective leadership, focusing on selfawareness and how to inspire the best performance from your staff. The workshop is suitable for new managers and those wishing to further develop their leadership skills.
“I’ve participated in more workshops over the years and events over the years than I can count but 'Dunroamin' is a standout. I learnt more about team leadership (and myself) from this Program than from any other I've ever been involved in…" Dr Russell Walker, Executive Director, Enterprise Geelong
“Thank you for the recent opportunity to visit Dunroamin Leadership Academy and become involved in the leadership program. The mixture of academic and practical leadership exercises certainly created a unique environment, and made for a very thought provoking, and certainly a most rewarding occasion.” Michael O’Brien, Principal Consultant, Chadwick Consulting Services

Prendergast’s vision leads to victory A WAURN Ponds franchisee has seen victory at a recent industry awards event. Rowan Prendergast from OPSM Waurn Ponds was awarded Franchisee of the Year, less than two staff at the final regional Franchise Council of Australia’s (FCA) Excellence in Franchising Awards for 2014. The awards recognised franchising’s best in Victoria and Tasmania. Mr Prendergast, who runs the optometry side of the business at OPSM Waurn Ponds also tutors in Optometry at Deakin University and writes about eye health for the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times. He said his franchisor was instrumental in making the writing a success. “The idea with the newspapers was that it would bring people into the store. OPSM was really supportive in terms of providing marketing material for that. They also offered me support with regard to actually getting the editorial into newspapers. It was a two way thing, they’ve been incredibly supportive.” Other winners at the event included Rajinder Uppal from OPSM Wendouree who took home the
Franchisee of the Year, two or more staff award. It was also a big night for Grill’d with Brent and Ann Howard, who have stores in Elsternwick and Carnegie awarded Franchisee Community Responsibility and Contribution, and Matt and Brad Walker who have stores in Camberwell, Knox and Southland winning Multi-unit Franchisee of the Year for the fourth year running. Brent and Ann Howard of Grill’d Elsternwick and Carnegie said their success came from being aligned with Grill’d’s values. Ms Uppal, who has been with OPSM since 2008, believed the strength of the network and customer focused service had a major hand in her success. “The OPSM brand is very well respected throughout Australia. “Because of that it makes it easier for us to attract customers into the store. A big part of what we do is focus on the OPSM customer journey, to make sure everything we do is customer centric.” Following their success, all winners have qualified as finalists for the MYOB FCA National Excellence in Franchising Awards to be held on Tuesday October 28.

AN UPCOMING community planting day at Queenscliff will help protect Coastal Moonah Woodland. Bellarine Catchment Network program coordinator Matt Crawley said the sixth annual indigenous planting and maintenance weeding along Lovers Walk would help create a wellfunctioning vegetation system and inform residents of the flora and fauna values in the Narrows. “This site contains Coastal Moonah
Woodland vegetation which is listed as threatened under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act,” Mr Crawley said. “It not only contains the iconic Moonah (Melaleuca lanceolata) plant but also numerous other understory and ground cover plants. “These include Coast Wirilda, a local wattle that is a host for Wire-leaf Mistletoe, Coast Sword – sedge used for basket weaving by the Wadawurrung and Karkalla, which is a creeping plant that helps to hold
and bind loose sand.” Swan Bay Environment Association president Roel Wasterval said the vegetation was fragmented and had a lot of weed issues from Polygala to Italian Buckthorn. The annual Sunday revegetation and weed control activity is on September 7 from 10am to 12.30pm at the Dog Beach Carpark, Queenscliff, access track 6B.

The bank has awarded more than $2 million in grants to 238 community organisations across Australia with funds from the bank's staff community fund, which is designed to improve the health and wellbeing of young Australians. The community grant will support the Torquay SLSC Skills for Life program, which is designed to train young people in lifesaving and surf rescue. The program aims to build life skills and create
beach safety awareness among the community. “We are really excited to receive this grant and keen to roll out this training program in the warmer months,” club president Noel Dubberley said. Commonwealth Bank Torquay branch manager Mark Haslem said: “we recognise the great work our volunteer surf lifesavers provide every year and are pleased that these funds will go toward enriching the lives of young people in the area”.

Sea jelly invasion sparks plastic bag reminder BY REBECCA LAUNER SEA jellies have been washing up on the Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads shores recently due to changes in weather conditions. And Barwon Coast says this event sparks a timely reminder to beachgoers to dispose of all their litter properly, and minimise or prevent the use of plastic bags. Community liaison and education manager Maddie Glynn said the Leatherback Turtle was just one marine creature that came to Bass Strait in search of its main food source – the sea jelly. “Unfortunately, many marine creatures mistake plastic bags for food which eventually leads to the demise of turtles, seabirds and marine mammals through a slow painful death,” she said. “Do your bit for our coastal and marine environments and ensure you dispose of all litter properly, and minimise or prevent the use of plastic bags.”
BY JAMES TAYLOR
A jelly-like substance has been noticeable along the high tide line on the beaches of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads recently, and further along the coast in Jan Juc and Fairhaven. The substance is the remains of sea jellies (jelly fish), which are in fact not a fish but a gelatinous free swimming marine animal consisting of an umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles. Ocean currents often control where the sea jellies go – floating, drifting and sinking. When weather conditions change, storm surges have broken down these fragile animals washing their remains on shore. “Be careful when walking or jogging along the coastline while the remains are present as the gelatinous mass is quite slippery,” Ms Glynn said. “These remains will disintegrate quickly as sea jellies are made up of 95 per cent water, or be washed back into the ocean and do not pose a health risk to humans or animals.”
The presence of sea jellies brings a timely reminder to ensure you dispose of all litter properly, and minimise or prevent the use of plastic bags.
CVGT Australia has been appointed to co-ordinate the Work for the Dole services in the Geelong region. The new requirements for jobseekers aged 18-30 in the region began on July 1. CVGT will serve as the first point of contact for organisations in Geelong wishing to be involved in Work for the Dole and help match job seekers to available places. CVGT’s Amanda Pugh is one of two Geelongbased Work for the Dole co-ordinators, with the other yet to be appointed. Geelong is one of 18 regions where Work for the Dole is being rolled out first, and Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson announced the appointment last week. “Work for the Dole is such an important initiative in fighting youth employment and helping young people back into work. “The Work for the Dole program is a key part of the government’s plan to help young job seekers remain active and engaged while looking for work. “It’s also a chance for them to give something back to the community which supports them.” The rules apply to the Geelong Employment Service Area, which includes all of the Bellarine Peninsula, to the south-west past Lorne and as far to the north-west as Smythesdale and Pittong. Ms Henderson said Work for the Dole gave job seekers the opportunity to learn new skills and to demonstrate to employers they had what it takes. The program also helps build confidence which is so important when looking for work. “The program will include a mix of individual and group based projects in community organisations such as not-for-profit organisations and local councils. “The worst thing we can do as a government and as a nation is to allow our young people to drift into welfare dependency.” For more information on the Work for the Dole program, head to employment.gov.au/work-dole.

Striking a chord, but debate needs civility
Anglesea Bowling Club’s hub rolls on?
actually step up to the mat by investing in our redevelopment and demonstrate a commitment towards our community and the future.
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
Ian Bruce Anglesea resident and ABC member
The conversation surrounding the future of Ann Nichol House has clearly struck a chord in the Bellarine community. No doubt, these have been a challenging few months for all parties concerned. Bellarine Community Health has striven to be transparent and proactive in consulting with our community and other important stakeholders, and keeping everyone up to date. In Australia, we are fortunate that we have the ability to freely voice our opinions on a range of topics. This freedom has been evident throughout the discussion around Ann Nichol House. Bellarine Community Health has actively endeavoured to present all the facts to the community, so that the community is informed of the challenges facing the sustainability of Ann Nichol House. But, to my dismay, the dialogue around Ann Nichol House has moved beyond balanced discussion of the facts. Detractors now feel it necessary to target me personally. Specifically, while taking my dog for a walk along the Bellarine Peninsula a couple of weeks ago, I came upon disturbing graffiti targeting me. Messages including my name, written on public property left me with no choice but to inform police. This is a cowardly act and is vandalism. It certainly does not help open debate. There is a well-known saying in Australia: “play the ball, not the man”. In this instance, I respectfully ask the opponents of Ann Nichol House: “play the ball, not the woman”.
As a long-term resident of Anglesea and a member of the Anglesea Bowling Club (ABC) I would like to update the community about the significant progress being made towards building a new sports and community hub in Anglesea. The ABC has ticked every box in relation to building the hub, which will replace the existing and out-dated clubrooms that were built back in the 1960s. Community participation is central to the our new hub’s projected outcomes and I would like to thank and acknowledge our local primary schools, YMCA, Men’s Shed, Lions Club, Anglesea School Camps, Anglesea Tennis Club, Anglesea Community House and our local community for fully supporting the redevelopment. The “Bowl With It Program” in partnership with the YMCA, Bowls Victoria and local schools clearly demonstrates our commitment to community participation involving thousands of children, youth and families in sport and recreation activities. We have secured $500,000 towards the new building from the Surf Coast Shire and our club, successfully completed costs benefits reports, feasibility studies, final drawings, management plans, demonstrated the many positive social and economic benefits of a new sports and community hub in Anglesea and the list goes on! The new Anglesea sports and community hub will involve 25,000 people annually in its community participation program, provide for 3,586 Anglesea council ward residents, 265 members, 1,500 social club and non-ABC members who bowl, along with thousands of weekly travellers to the Surf Coast who will use the new community hub. The Anglesea sports and community hub will be realised when the state and federal governments

Invited to Anglesea Dear Editor, Business and Tourism Anglesea would certainly like to invite Bob Louden of Portarlington (“What does Anglesea have to offer?”, Letters, August 21) to see what our beautiful Anglesea has to offer. For the privileged people who get to live, work or visit here, they are truly lucky to experience the beauty of our seaside town. Our popular town, positioned on the Great Ocean Road where the bush that meets the sea, has a plethora of activities on offer. We have several camps in our area that service hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Our visitors experience all the fun and adventure they can handle – from kayaking in the ocean or hiring a paddle boat to enjoy our pretty river, to mountain biking any of the kilometres and kilometres of tracks that surround Anglesea, to hiking along our stretch of the Surf Coast Walk, especially from Point Addis to Anglesea, it is just beautiful. We are proud to be a place that creates wonderful memories for all who visit. Visitors to Anglesea can learn to surf, go for a horse ride, fish in our waterways, play golf on our world-famous golf course with the resident kangaroos. You can also join the many that play barefoot bowls on lazy Sunday afternoons. If you haven’t yet, you’ve got to check out our new sculpture park on the riverbank or perhaps wander down to Coogoorah Park for a picnic and play.

Oh, have I mention our stunning scenic surf beaches with clean pristine white sand, especially the beautiful sheltered north facing Point Roadknight beach? In fact, we encourage everyone to get out of their cars and experience Anglesea, one of the prettiest towns in Australia, if not the world!

Credit where it’s due Dear Editor, Many thanks to James Taylor for the article (“Refugee support group forms in Aireys Inlet”, August 14) on the visit of former refugee Tri Nguyen and the formation of a new refugee support group in Aireys Inlet. It was a heartening story but some credit should also go to the Rev James Lewis and the Anglesea Baptist congregation. James had heard about Tri’s epic walk and took the initiative to invite Tri to come with his family and stay for the weekend and also speak at an ecumenical service in Anglesea. This made it possible for Tri to include the visit to Aireys that led to such a positive outcome. Congratulations to all concerned. Jan Hale Torquay
Louder and Louden Dear Editor, In response to Bob Louden’s letter “What does Anglesea have to offer?” (August 21). The realisation for people of what Anglesea offers amazes me every day. We are one of the largest group accommodation areas in the state with approximately 40,000 people attending the towns five major camp and conference centres each year.
These people do not go far outside the boundaries of the town because of what is offered. Our groups use the bike track for mountain biking, the river for canoeing, the beaches for games, swimming, surfing, rock pools, and just exploring, and the bush environment for walks. Our two centres offer activities such as high and low ropes, flying foxes, beach volleyball, initiative courses, orienteering courses, trampolines and climbing walls. These days, there is never a dull moment at camp. The people that visit us are always amazed at what our town and centres can offer and always go away with a great experience that they never forget. I meet people every day that say they came to camp 20 years ago and still remember the time in Anglesea and at the camp. I am very open for people to make appointments and come and visit our centres in Anglesea to see what is available to groups. Come on down to Anglesea, it is a great place to visit. Geoff Caldwell Director of Camping, Baptist Camping Victoria, Anglesea
Local learning networks Dear Editor, I welcome the Victorian Coalition government’s announcement of $8 million in funding to secure the Local Learning Employment Networks (LLENs) program. The LLENS program supports vulnerable young people in our community, helping them back into education and training with the aim of getting them into a meaningful job. It works by forming partnerships with industry, community groups and education providers which engage constructively with young people and get them on the right track. It’s a program which has previously been jointly funded by state and federal governments, but there has been some uncertainty about the future of LLENs since the Commonwealth withdrew its $11 million funding share. So I was pleased to learn that the Education
Minister Martin Dixon has just announced the Napthine government will more than triple its funding for LLENs next year to $8 million. This will provide certainty for the 31 LLENs programs across Victoria and the young people who use their programs. The funding is on top of the $5.1 million the Napthine government has provided to save the Workplace Learning Coordinators that work with LLENs. This is good news for our community as we work to help vulnerable young people learn and find meaningful employment. It is further evidence of the Napthine government’s commitment to building a better education system for Victoria. Andrew Katos Member for South Barwon
From one chef to another Dear Editor, I would like to pass on my sincere congratulations to Ocean Grove resident Ben Shewry and his team at Attica restaurant in Ripponlea for being voted Restaurant of the Year in the 2015 Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards on Wednesday in Sydney. This is an amazing accomplishment and adds to an impressive list of accolades including Attica’s inclusion among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in the S. Pellegrino awards and Ben receiving The Age Good Food Guide Chef of the Year 2014. This is no mean feat. Having worked as a chef, I understand the challenges required to source seasonal produce, train and retain staff plus to keep customers satisfied while running a financially viable restaurant. We should take a leaf out of Ben’s book and realise that such success and happiness can come from balancing work with other important endeavours, such as Ben dedicating his time and skill to support his favourite charity, Helping Hoops, which runs free basketball lessons for disadvantaged young people. As much as I would love Ben to open a restaurant around the corner from me in Ocean Grove, showcasing the amazing produce and wine of the Bellarine, I understand that even a genius needs quality family time and the opportunity to hit the surf

at home and unwind. While congratulating Ben on his well-deserved success, I also acknowledge other regional restaurants Brae at Birregura and Gladioli at Inverleigh that were also award recipients. Ron Nelson Liberal candidate for Bellarine

Youth encouraged to go Heywire and tell their story THERE is less than a month left for young people living in regional Australia to join a national project to tell their stories. The Heywire program gives youth between the ages of 16 and 22 an opportunity to document, in text, video or audio format, life outside major cities in Australia and to address the issues affecting their community. Senator Scott Ryan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education, said winning stories would be professionally produced and featured on ABC radio,
TV and online, and winners would receive a trip to the Heywire Regional Youth Summit in Canberra. “With more than 9,000 entries from the past 16 years, Heywire represents the diverse experiences of young people growing up in the rural and remote Australia. “It is important that all young Australians feel they have the opportunity to have their voices heard. “I strongly encourage any young person who has a good story to tell to get involved in this great
initiative.” Each February, the Heywire Regional Youth Summit takes place in Canberra and winners come together to share experiences, collaborate with peers, gain leadership skills and develop ideas and projects to improve the lives of young people in regional Australia. The summit culminates in a public forum in Canberra during the first Parliamentary sitting week for the year, where participants pitch ideas to
politicians, policy makers and funding bodies. Federal government funding complements the $100,000 provided by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) to assist community organisations pilot the ideas raised at the Heywire Summit. Heywire entrants must live outside Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Entries close on September 16. For more information, head to abc.net.au/heywire.
Have your say on bushfire management BY JAMES TAYLOR
The Department of Environment and Primary Industries is calling for feedback on bushfires through a new website.
PEOPLE in the Barwon Otway region have been encouraged to have their say about bushfire management on public land on a new interactive website. The pilot website will run for 12 months and has been launched by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI). It is asking for feedback on public land in the Surf Coast Shire, City of Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe, Colac Otway Shire and Corangamite Shire. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said the website was a great place for the community to contribute their thoughts, ideas and priorities for strategic bushfire management. He said the pilot project aimed to provide a place where people can learn about strategic bushfire management in the Otways and provide
invaluable community feedback. “Importantly this isn’t just about the delivery of information, it provide site users with innovative ways to engage with DEPI through surveys, quick polls, discussion forums and other tools.” Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith said the online forum to connect with Victorian communities was another example of the state government’s commitment to reduce bushfire risk. “Since coming to office in 2010, the Coalition government has allocated $358 million to the land and fire management program coordinated through DEPI. “The Coalition government’s planned burning achievements last year reached a 30 year high, and over four years has carried out planned burns on 723,395 hectares on public land.” To visit the website, head to haveyoursay.depi. vic.gov.au.

Labor pledges 1,000 defibrillators to sports clubs BY JAMES TAYLOR THE state opposition hopes to get hearts started with its latest election pledge, promising 1,000 defibrillators to Victorian sporting clubs if it wins November’s poll. Last week, Labor committed $2.7 million towards the plan to improve survival rates for people who enter cardiac arrest. During a cardiac arrest, the chance of survival decreases by 10 per cent for every minute without defibrillation. Calling 000 for an ambulance and early use of defibrillators, combined with CPR, are the key steps to survival. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said the devices had been responsible for saving thousands of lives across the country, but more could be done. “When cardiac arrest strikes, every minute counts.
“Labor will give defibrillators to footy grounds and sports venues, so volunteers, supporters and players can step in if they need to. “In an emergency, the first thing to do is call 000 – but defibrillators are the best way to keep people alive until an ambulance arrives,” shadow health minister Gavin Jennings said. “With 14 Victorians going into cardiac arrest every day, Labor’s plan will save lives.” Defibrillators can work on people of all ages, and provides voice prompts and instructions for operators on how it should be used and advice on when to perform CPR. The placement of defibrillators in accessible public places is supported by The Heart Foundation, St John Ambulance Australia, Australian Resuscitation Council and Defib for Life and Sports Medicine Australia.
State Labor wants to see more defibrillators – like this one being demonstrated by Geelong First Aid’s Colin Jones in Torquay – in sports clubs across Victoria. Photo: JAMES TAYLOR
Grants help businesses improve energy efficiency BY JAMES TAYLOR BUSINESSES in Winchelsea and Colac have received a collective $43,737 to help them reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly by conserving energy and reducing waste. The funding is part of the state government’s Smarter Resources Smarter Businesses program, which has allocated 69 Victorian businesses a total of $1.8 million.
the
The local recipients are Lyndale Trading in Winchelsea, for the installation of a more energyefficient heating system and upgrade of ventilation fans and control systems in chicken sheds; and Colac’s CTMP, for the installation of variable speed drives on dust extraction systems that offer potentially significant energy savings. Polwarth MP Terry Mulder said the funding would help the businesses put in place more environmentally-friendly measures that helped
reduce operating costs, boost productivity and reduce their environmental footprint. “Businesses receiving funding are located across Victoria and come from a range of sectors including manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, agriculture, tourism and aged care and it’s great to see local business receiving a boost from these sustainability grants.” He said the Smarter Resources Smarter Business Capital Funding program was a tangible example of how the state government was supporting practical action to improve energy efficiency and waste management. “The Napthine government is committed to helping businesses manage these costs through using resources more wisely.
Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith said the 69 recipients would save a combined $2.3 million a year in their operating costs, and 143 projects funded across all three rounds of the Smart Resources Smarter Businesss program will save about $4.7 million a year. “This grants program has helped businesses save $10.5 million over five years, which is a significant investment in the long-term economic and environmental sustainability of Victoria. “Across the three rounds of Smarter Resources Smarter Businesses grants, the Coalition government has invested over $3.8 million to help Victorian businesses operate in a modern economy, while reducing environmental impacts.” Head to sustainability.vic.gov.au/srsb.

Livestock market report THIS week’s yarding of 431 cattle at Ballarat was significantly up by 229 head on last sale. Buoyant prices were the order of the day in a larger offering of cattle that were yarded for the small field of buyers. It was a mixed quality yarding, comprising of 113 steers, 185 heifers, 93 cows and 40 bulls. Prices were generally 10 to 15 cents higher for cows and grown heifers but grown steers were only slightly dearer. Some plain quality 1 score cows were up around 20 cents per kilogram higher and young cattle sold mainly 5 to 10 cents better with the plainer quality closer to unchanged. The C2 and C3 yearlings made from 174 to 182 cents to processors, plus a vealer at 194 cents, but prices were from 175 to 221 cents to restockers
with a top sale of light weight steers to a grazier for 246 cents per kilogram. Most D2 yearlings sold from 146 to 167 cents with restockers paying to 177 cents per kilogram. There were quite a few very good quality grown heifers penned with the C3 and C4 grades sold from 179 to 185 cents and the C2s at 170 to 180 cents, the D2s sold from 152 to 160 cents per kilogram. The handful of C3 grown steers made 180 to 186 cents, while the D2 manufacturing grades were at 164 to 175 cents per kilogram. Only three to four processors and some restocker inquiry competed for cows, demand, however, was stronger, pushed by one exporter in particular. A run of 2 to 4 score cows lifted to an estimated
average cost of 335 cents per kilogram carcase weight. Most 3 to 5 score cows made between 170 and 180 cents with restockers paying to 181 cents per kilogram. Last week’s yarding of 314 cattle at Colac was up by 75 head on the previous sale with prices similar to dearer for young cattle, and export grades were also all higher in the generally average to good quality increased yarding that was offered to the small field of buyers. The penning comprised of 21 grown steers, 48 grown heifers, 76 young cattle, 153 cows and 16 bulls. A run of C2 and C3 young cattle to processors and restockers were mainly from 165 to 192 cents with vealers to processors up to 200 cents
per kilogram. These prices were unchanged to mostly 5 cents and up to 10 cents dearer, but the few D2 grades sold at unchanged levels and made between 135 and 160 cents per kilogram. The one C3 heavy steer made 198 cents, while the handful of C3 bullocks sold from 181 to 185 cents per kilogram in another small yarding of grown steers. There were some very good C3 and C4 grown heifers this week and they made from 175 to 186 cents per kilogram, along with the D2 grades, that all sold at 160 cents. Prices averaged up to 15 cents per kilogram dearer. The cow market was also dearer with prices from the start 5 to 10 cents per kilogram higher for all but the poor one score cows which remained unchanged.
Restockers competed with processors to pay up to 246 cents per kilogram for yearlings at Ballarat.
Fergus the blackbuck creates a stir BY DEAN WEBSTER A SINGLE male blackbuck antelope has been successfully captured and transported to its new home at the Mansfield Zoo after being found in Victoria’s south-west. Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) biosecurity operations manager Mark Watt said that the successful operation was a team effort between DEPI, a private vet and the Mansfield Zoo. “The blackbuck antelope antelope (Antilope cervicapra) is native to parts of India, Pakistan and Nepal and could potentially have serious impacts on agricultural production, and biodiversity in Victoria. “This particular antelope was found on a farm in the Western District. The plan to rehouse the antelope was negotiated by DEPI and was based on the animals welfare and the
availability of suitable, permitted facilities.” Mr Watt said that the Mansfield Zoo is now responsible for the recovery and keeping of the antelope, which has been named Fergus by staff. “Fergus is recovering well and will soon be joining fellow antelopes in the public viewing enclosure. “Blackbucks are a declared pest animal in Victoria under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 and they can’t be kept without the appropriate authority from DEPI. The illegal keeping and trading of exotic animals poses one of the greatest risks of new pest animals establishing in Victoria and Australia.” Mr Watt said high-risk invasive animals include non-indigenous species of reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds.

Embrace your imperfections BY BARBARA GRACE PROCRASTINATION and perfectionism are twin shields we often wear to protect ourselves from facing issues we may be burying. On a recent online course we had hundreds of people from across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada sharing their heartfelt needs - and the one thing that united everyone was their fear of failure, of feeling guilty and of not being good
enough. It’s only in groups like these, that we can raise issues and finally realise that we’re not alone – that the fears we face about rejection and of not meeting inflated expectations are what we have in common – no matter where we live, what our experiences have been, how much we earn or what title we label ourselves with. These fears seem part of the human condition. Yet why is this? It’s because most of us grew up with the belief that exposing our vulnerability and showing our imperfections are signs of weakness. With this false knowledge, millions of people hide behind the mask of fierce and stoic selfdenial, which ultimately leads to keeping our fears and inadequacies deeply hidden. This wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t translate into a sense of worthlessness, sadness and
dissatisfaction with the life being led. Essentially, there are only two ways to change this. One is embracing vulnerability as a strength, the other is valuing our imperfections because aiming for perfection may sound lofty – but in reality not one of us can ever achieve it. Bettering ourselves, improving our skills and aiming for goals – yes – as long as they’re approached with a healthy assessment of what’s required and how you can work towards your aspirations. Perfectionism though is a movable feast – similar to playing a game of football where the goal posts keep shifting – it’s unwinnable. If you feel you’re shrinking behind either procrastination or perfectionism consider what’s holding you back from getting what you
want... and in the process, practice a little selfcompassion. Barbara Grace is the director of the School of Modern Psychology and can be contacted via barbara@schoolofmodernpsychology.com.au.
Creative journaling can help release our stories while building self-compassion
If you’re not coping, help is available WE PLACE an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to be the best at work, home and play. But what happens when our best isn’t good enough? What happens when the pressure gets too much? When you feel like it’s too hard? Today's lifestyle is fast-paced. The “keeping up with the Joneses” has now become the “surpassing of the Joneses”. But is this to our detriment? We are working harder and longer hours. When asked “how Dr Erin Coffey is an osteopath at The Health are you going?”, when was the last time you answered the question truly, rather than the Creation Centre in standard “fine thanks”? Ocean Grove.
With the choice made by Robin Williams to end his life rather than continuing the ongoing battle that life offered him, it is a stark reminder that a smile on the outside doesn't necessarily mirror what's going on inside. Suicide in Australia has hit a 10-year record, and is the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 to 44. In 2012, suicide reported deaths numbered 2,535. Mental illness is the leading cause of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide, amounting to 37 per cent of healthy years lost. Depression accounts for
one third of this total. In 2010, mental illness globally cost almost $2.5 trillion, and is forecast to reach $6 trillion by 2030. To put this into perspective, the global health spending in 2009 was less than $1 trillion. Mental health is the largest single economic health burden; greater than cardiovascualar disease, diabetes, and cancer treatments combined. And the thing that needs to be realised is that it should be seen as a preventable cost. The government acknowledges this and is spending money on preventative measures such as offering $200 vouchers for marriage counselling.
Mental health plans are a Medicare initiative and your GP can refer you for six sessions to a psychologist. Coping strategies can be found. Anxiety, fear and self loathing can be subdued and replaced with life-affirming values – hope, forgiveness and love. Not surprisingly, religious faith and practices help some people to cope, but in today's increasingly secular world, fewer people are listening. If you know someone who is not coping, encourage them to speak about their feelings with their doctor or to phone beyondblue on 1300 224636.

The program also includes initiatives for mental health and nutrition through Good Sports Healthy Minds and Good Sports Healthy Eating. Head to goodsports.com.au.

Victoria’s camera system hailed VICTORIA’S road safety camera network has been deemed “first class” by the Road Safety Camera Commissioner. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells welcomed the release of the Road Safety Camera Commissioner’s Annual Report from Gordon Lewis AM, saying the findings from the independent watchdog are a testament to the Napthine government’s commitment to cutting the road toll. “This report confirms something we have worked hard to achieve, a road safety camera system that is first class and saving lives every day.” Mr Wells said 157 fixed digital road safety camera sites throughout Victoria were monitored throughout the year by the commissioner, and there was no evidence of a malfunctioning or inaccurate road safety camera. “The commissioner also found that the majority of motorists understand why road safety cameras are vital. “People understand that road safety is paramount, speed limits are there to keep people alive, and we need sanctions to enforce those speed limits.” Mr Wells said the ability of cameras to catch all speeding road users was paramount and will be addressed by the latest road safety technology, which
will replace Victoria Police’s mobile camera program. “A new tender was released at the end of July that flowed from the Napthine government’s funding of $17.1 million to upgrade road safety technology. We have now gone to market to source advances in road safety equipment. “Technology in this area is advancing rapidly and we will explore all options to make Victoria’s road safety camera network as strong as it can be. “We are looking at everything the market has to offer, including the potential to capture front and rear licence plates and speeding vehicles across multiple lanes.” He also applauded Mr Lewis’ work since being appointed to his role by the Napthine government. “Mr Lewis has carried out his responsibilities with vigour in a completely impartial manner. “It is a credit to those within the Department of Justice responsible for building and maintaining road safety cameras that Mr Lewis has high praise for their efforts. “Road safety cameras are an integral part of our road safety strategy and have played a significant part in driving down the road toll to record lows.” Mr Wells said the government would consider the commissioner’s recommendations. Victoria has a comprehensive road safety camera network including fixed, mobile and point-to-point cameras for detecting speed. The system can also capture unregistered drivers and those who run red lights.
The Road Safety Camera Commissioner has found Victoria’s speed cameras are working well.
Works to improve safety on Great Ocean Road THIS YEAR
LAST YEAR
A regional partnership with TAC and the Victorian Government Maintain vigilance about road safety. (Rural Vic Toll YTD) The above figures represent regional Victoria’s road toll.
BY JAMES TAYLOR MORE than $1.85 million will be spent by the state government to upgrade three sections of the Great Ocean Road between Fairhaven and Lorne to improve safety for drivers. The Safer Roads Infrastructure funding is in addition to the $50 million committed by the state and federal governments to upgrade the road. Polwarth MP Terry Mulder said the sections had a history of run-off road crashes. “Up to 8,000 vehicles use this section of the road during summer, and in the last five years there have
been 37 crashes through this section. More than seven million people visit the Great Ocean Road each year so these works will help make the road safer for everyone visiting this iconic attraction.” He said improvements would include a new road surface, safety barriers and warning signs. “Resurfacing the road will improve vehicle traction, while new guide posts and warning signs together with a reduced speed limit of 60km/h at two locations will boost safety. “We are also installing safety barriers and clearing vegetation to improve sight distance and reduce the impact of a run-off road crash.”
VicRoads will be working with the community and stakeholders to minimise impacts associated with works along the Great Ocean Road wherever possible, and will schedule improvements to avoid peak holiday times. Works are expected to begin early next year after the school holiday period, when weather conditions are warmer and the road is dry; and are expected to be completed by late 2015. Mr Mulder said more than 188 projects had been announced since 2013 as part of the Safer Roads Infrastructure program at a cost of more than $199 million.
Burlesque empress Moira Finucane is preparing to blow the imaginations of the uninitiated at the Lorne Festival of Performing Arts this weekend.
Stage set for a weird, wild and wonderful Lorne Festival BY TIFFANY PILCHER ROLL up, roll up, the big top is in town and so is a plethora of marvellous and mind-boggling entertainers for the 2014 Lorne Festival of Performing Arts. The festival opens tomorrow night with a huge show sampling what’s ahead, followed by a jam-packed weekend of acts, performances and encounters at various venues and on the streets of Lorne. One of the greatest drawcards this year is Australia’s reigning queen of burlesque, Moira Finucane. Now renowned the world over for dredging up some of the deepest underground performance art to present to the mainstream, Finucane made the substantial leap from a career in environmental science to burlesque 10 years ago. She began dabbling in alternative theatre out of curiosity and it wasn’t long before she hung up the long white coat for good and stepped into a red velvet bikini. “I have always been interested in how the natural world works,” she said. “That’s the core of science and also where my inspiration comes from for my performances.
“Travelling across the world, I come across so many different cultures and people, and it’s all about what makes them tick, what’s going to make their eyes pop.” At the festival, Finucane will present two vastly different shows that will change the way audiences look at balloons and international cuisine forever. Her iconic show Glory Box is an extension of the original piece she first presented a decade ago. Combining circus and live art exotica, the award-winning show features Finucane alongside six envelope-pushing dancers and artists hand-picked from across the globe. Part showgirls, part gothic spectacle, and totally unforgettable, expect beyond the unexpected at Glory Box. Finucane’s next performance, The Feast of La Gypsy Argentina is a gastronomic masterpiece. The Latin American flavoured show includes sangria and dinner, prepared with local ingredients sourced from local producers. Aiming for a complete sensory overload, the show features daring dancing, spellbinding costumes and hilarious storytelling combined with a
banquet fit for a king. “It’s such a privilege to be able to present both shows. It’s like cooking a beautiful sponge cake one day then switching it up to black forest the next,” Finucane said. “I want to take my audiences on an incredible rollercoaster ride. “There are two things I always ask myself: what do I want to explore? And, how will my audience feel while they experience this exploration? “The result is a completely overproofed cocktail of sideshow, circus, chanteuse, old variety and much more. “The whole festival is going to be such a delectable feast of treats, it’s going to be incredible.” The Lorne Festival of Performing Arts officially gets under way tomorrow night with the Opening Night Cabaret Spectacular, followed by individual performances throughout the weekend. The festival is suitable for all ages and includes shows for children and famililies. Several ticket options are available and tickets may be available on the door. For the full schedule and to book tickets, visit lovelornefestival. com. Tickets for the food component of The Feast La Gypsy Argentina must be purchased in advance.

The show features a talented group of performers who look, act and sound just like the 60s stars they pay homage to and after a three-month, 54-date, sellout tour of Australia in 2011, the group bringing the magic back to our shores again.

and plenty more. This musical has been thrilling audiences worldwide with classic choreography, boundless energy, humour and, of course, the instantly recognisable classic pop songs. Written by independent Motown producer and creative consultant George Solomon and awardwinning producer and director Michael Chapman with choreography by the esteemed Paul Holmquist, the end result is a show as fresh and relevant today as it is nostalgic for the purists. Oh What a Night will be at GPAC’s Playhouse Theatre on Sunday August 31 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from the GPAC box office, online at gpac.org.au, or by phoning 5225 1200.

Food Truck Friday to return DUE to high community demand, Food Truck Friday will return on the first Friday of every month for six months. Geelong Mayor Darryn Lyons said he couldn’t wait for Food Truck Friday to become a regular monthly treat starting on Friday October 3. “The vibe Food Truck Friday brings into Central Geelong is amazing. You can smell the barbecue, hear the music and try different things, it’s a whole new experience for the city,” Mr Lyons said. “This time around, eight food trucks will be part of the six month program with half of the trucks expected to be local food vendors.” People were surveyed over the last Food Truck Friday’s and results showed 47 per cent of participants would almost never or only occasionally have lunch in the CBD.
Mr Lyons said Food Truck Friday had a substantial economic impact on surrounding Central Geelong businesses. “Council estimated that the three previous Food Truck Friday’s had an economic impact of more than $65,000 on CBD businesses, which is a huge help to local traders. “There are 21,000 workers in the CBD and I want that amount to grow to 30,000 over the next six years. “It’s initiatives like Food Truck Friday that will entice workers and employers to Central Geelong.” “Food trucks are also an easy lunch option for Deakin University students studying just down the road.” Food trucks will be serving food between 11.30am to 2.30pm.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY
JON HELMER
Buy local, drink ‘Locale’ CLYDE Park winery has been quietly going about its business producing outstanding cool-climate wines out there in the Moorabool Valley since 1979. It’s a picturesque spot for a weekend long lunch and their outdoor wood-fired pizzas certainly bring the people out in droves. However, it’s the wines that are the true stars that capture everyone’s attention and rightly so as they’ve been consistent performers for some time and been duly recognised in James Halliday’s ratings as a 5-star winery. Over the last 5-10 years especially, their wines have gone to another level and this has been reflected in the awards they’ve won and the high scores they’ve attained which is definitely a feather in their cap for all the hard work that owner Terry Jongebloed and his team have been putting in. They have three tiers of wines in their portfolio but today, let’s focus on their very affordable entry-level ‘Locale’ range. The ‘Locale’ wines are all made similarly to the other wines. Obviously only the best parcels of fruit from the best sites make it into their estate and premium wines, however, the quality of fruit used in the ‘Locale’ wines is not inferior. On the contrary, they’ve been able to source quality fruit from the surrounding district and other areas within the Geelong zone, and I must say, they make a compelling case for value-for-money drinking at the sub-$20 price point. The new labeling is minimalist and easy on the eye yet striking in its simplicity. It resonates with the wine inside – as they’re all quite simple, but very honest depictions that show varietal and regional integrity. If you’re thinking of trying the wines, maybe book a table one weekend and settle in with a gourmet pizza or two, it’s not such a bad way to spend an afternoon now is it?
Clyde Park ‘Locale’ Pinot Grigio 2011 ($20 or ‘2 for $35’)
The vintage is well known as a wet and difficult year, however, these wines have suffered little and are actually quite aromatic and fragrant. Typically, this is a little leaner in style but let’s celebrate that as it shows some delicate florals alongside the savoury mineral elements and pear and spice notes, making for a worthy accompaniment with any seafood dish or white meats.
Clyde Park ‘Locale’ Chardonnay 2011 ($20 or ‘2 for $35’) Again, a more restrained style of Chardonnay that reflects the delicate nature of the vintage. This triumphs with good textural stone-fruit characters, mineral complexity and cleansing acidity.
Clyde Park ‘Locale’ Pinot Noir 2013 ($20 or ‘2 for $35’) I’ve actually tried this on quite a few occasions now as it’s readily found on wine lists in and around the region and I’ve always enjoyed its easy approachability. Soft and inviting, this (always) offers up ripe floral/strawberry scents and cherry fruit, with plump plums and subdued spice fleshing out the mid palate. It will only get better over the next 2-3 years, great value!
Clyde Park ‘Locale’ Shiraz 2013 ($20 or ‘2 for $35’) Geelong Shiraz has that certain level of spiciness and racy dark fruits that I think makes it stand out from other more profiled regions and this should be held in high(er) regard than what I presume it is at present. Thankfully, great little wines like this at the entry level end will hopefully entice more people to discover our regions fine spoils of spicy, cool climate Shiraz. This wine is still young, with medium bodied raspberry/blackberry fruits, white pepper and a sliver of meaty spice showing, but given a little time this should flesh out and develop a little more complexity.

The show will accompany a two-course feast and detail a variety of foods from the book from which the performance takes its name. “The Le Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine is the food bible in France and the performance is a very curious piece,” Grose said. “It’s light and fluffy and there are lots of different colours, it all depends on which delicious ingredient I am discussing at the time. “Anna’s parts are very beautiful.

Atlanta recognised for exceptional body of work BY TIFFANY PILCHER
EXPERIMENTAL Jan Juc choreographer Atlanta Eke is in the spotlight after winning a major new Australian dance award. Eke was named the winner of the inaugural Keir Choreographic Award and presented
with the $30,000 prize after performing at a ceremony for the four finalists in Melbourne last month. Blending dance with visual arts and technology, her piece, Body of Work, explores the paradox of how the present is a point of transition from the past to the future

as well as a place for the permanent rewriting of both past and future. It does this through exploring the tension between a performance and the documentation of a performance, by making them one in the same using multiple screens and video cameras. Award founder and philanthropist Phillip Keir said of Eke’s work: “it’s a remarkable piece of choreography that moves between the body and images of the body; between the human and the machine. “It is a dynamic work that shows references ranging widely from Boris Karloff to the rock band Devo and from Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast to 1970s US performance art.” Eke said she was surprised by the win and is now looking forward to developing the 20-minute piece into a full-length performance, which she will present in Melbourne later this year. “A lot of the competitions lean more towards the commercial or audience-friendly side of things, but this award was really open to more interpretive, experimental styles which I loved,” she said. “This felt like a germ of an idea that I can now explore further and flesh out and I’m excited to see where I can push it now.”
Awards rain on Anglesea
Anglesea Performing Arts Inc kept it local and almost swept the awards ceremony at the Anglesea One Act Play Festival earlier this month. Their production of Daniel Keene’s heart-wrenching holocaust piece The Rain (actor Iris Walshe-Howling pictured performing above) took out three awards including Best Production, Best Visual Design and Best Supporting Male Actor, while another Anglesea production, The Hotel, had a win with Best Female Actor. Geelong company Skin Of Our Teeth Productions and Melbourne’s Adelphi Players also picked up awards. The Anglesea One Act Play Festival will return next year to celebrate its 25th anniversary from August 29-30. For further information visit angleseaperformers.org.au.

Grunwald brings gratitude to Torquay show BY TIFFANY PILCHER ASH Grunwald is returning to Torquay triumphant and reinvigorated this weekend after a massive tour of the US with Xavier Rudd. The booming blues artist and former Jan Juc resident travelled across the country, performing on some of the world’s most famed stages, from The Fillmore to the Brooklyn Bowl and everywhere in between. Gathering hordes of new fans along the way, he has cemented himself as one to watch by picking up the LA Music Critics Award for Best International Act. “I’m under the hammer to do something good so this was that push to get out there more and I received a lot of encouragement,” Grunwald said. “It’s so hard to crack the market over there but I feel like I’m getting a foot in the door. “Xavier hooked me up so much, I never take anything for granted, but he may have just shouted me a career.” Grunwald is back to writing again after releasing his latest album, Gargantua, with The Living End’s upright bassist Scott Owen and drummer Andy Scrachan last year. He said the tour has given him a new perspective on his future in music and since returning in July,
F U L LY
L I C E N S E D
he’s been more inspired than ever before. “I’m really motivated. Instead of frothing on surfing and just enjoying playing music I’m frothing on music and surfing when I can. “It’s like magic, my focus just switched. “Although I wouldn’t change my last decade because surfing and travelling has been a huge part of my life, the change in my music is pretty clear. “I can’t put my guitar down at the moment. I feel like so much has changed, like I’m getting so much better.” Grunwald will be supported by Ian Collard at the Torquay show. The two have been working together sporadically since 2001 and Grunwald is encouraging anyone who can to come along early to catch his set. “I’m stoked to have him with me. He’s one of the best musicians I know, if you’re coming to the show you won’t want to miss him.” Ash Grunwald is performing at the Torquay Hotel on Saturday August 30, with Ian Collard opening from 8pm. Tickets are available from oztix.com.au or from the venue. Off the back of a hugely successful US tour, bluesman Ash Grunwald is performing in Torquay on Saturday night.

farm food AT HOME with Tony Le Deux
Whisk away mistakes with fun
LIKE so many of us this time of year, my daughter has been home suffering from a virus. She has had plenty of rest and warm soup. To cheer her up I decided to clean and fill her car with fuel – for what else are fathers useful? As always, I had a few things going on and mistakenly put petrol instead of diesel in the car. What a dumb thing to do! Not only was the car not cleaned, it had to be towed away to have the fuel drained and filters replaced. When I mentioned what a dill I had been to the tow truck driver, he said it happens all the time. Like locking your keys in the car or putting too much salt in a dish – common mistakes. The goddess of cooking in America in the 60s and 70s, Julia Child, was liberated by her mistakes in the kitchen. She was never critical of her own cooking. As she said, “I was devaluing both my cooking and myself. It is an opportunity to learn and act gracefully in the face of failure. Mistakes happen in the kitchen all the time. In fact, lots of cooking is one failure after another.” Years ago, I was poaching a whole salmon and dropped it on the bench as I was sliding it onto the serving platter. It was completely ruined as the buffet centerpiece so I flaked the fish and made salmon mousse instead. The client was overjoyed and told me she had never tasted better. If you curdle a béarnaise sauce, throw some crushed ice into the mix and whisk quickly – the sauce will magically fix itself. In fact the whisk is one kitchen implement which can overcome many mistakes. I always use a whisk in preference to a wooden spoon when making a béchamel sauce. In modern cooking shows, chefs never make mistakes. They are edited to make it seem like everything turns out perfectly all the time. Like Julia Child, I think these shows can do a tremendous disservice to the audience. In her later years, when asked for a piece of advice, she would always say: “Learn how to cook. Try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all, have fun.” I couldn’t agree more – try this pea and ham soup recipe my daughter has been eating all week and have fun.

Film to show cities how to grow BY TIFFANY PILCHER
THE Surf Coast Energy Group’s (SCEG) next film night will feature a documentary which examines the role of urban farming in America and asks how much power it has to revitalise cities and change the way we eat. Growing Cities shows ordinary people creatively finding solutions for growing food within urban deserts and regaining control over the supply and quality of their food. Filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette take a road trip in their search for answers, and meet the men and women who are challenging the way the USA grows and
distributes its food, one vacant city lot, rooftop garden, and backyard chicken coop at a time. They discover that good food isn’t the only crop these urban visionaries are harvesting, they’re producing stronger and more vibrant communities too. Growing Cities will be screened on September 5 from 7pm at Surf World Museum, Beach Road, Torquay, entry is by gold coin donation and supper will be available. SCEG would like to thank their film night sponsors Zeally Bay Sourdough, Patagonia, Not Just Fruit, Hotondo Homes and Surf Coast Shire for supporting the event.
Pea and ham soup INGREDIENTS 1 cup yellow and one cup green split peas 4 organic carrots, chopped 5 sprigs of thyme 1 Ham Hock for Torquay Farm Foods
2 brown onions, chopped 3 bay leaves 2 teaspoons dried basil
METHOD Place the peas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak overnight. Next day, drain peas and transfer to a large stockpot. Add onion, carrot, herbs and cover with water. Stir to combine, and then add the ham hock. Bring to the boil, skimming any scum that may appear on the surface. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about an hour and a half, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves and the ham hock and set aside. Allow the soup to cool slightly, then puree in batches. Season with salt and pepper and add shredded ham from the cooked hock.
A still from the documentary Growing Cities. SCEG is screening the film on September 5 to educate Surf Coast residents on urban farming.

Film screening to assist local animal shelter AN AWARD-winning documentary highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding captive wildlife will screen exclusively in Geelong next week to raise money for a local animal sanctuary. Freshwater Creek’s Willowite Animal Sanctuary is presenting The Ghosts in our Machine, a consciousness-raising documentary that gently reveals one of the most haunting moral dilemmas of our modern world. While the provocative film Blackfish made waves for exposing the consequences of keeping orcas in captivity, The Ghosts in our Machine illuminates the plight of many other animals rescued from and living within the machine of our modern world, from captive foxes to rescued dairy cows. Filmmaker Liz Marshall directs this visually arresting documentary through the lens of photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur. The film follows McArthur over the course of a year as she documents several animal stories in parts of Canada, the US and in Europe. Each story and photograph is a window into global animal industries of food, fashion, entertainment and biomedical research. Willowite Animal Sanctuary has been a local refuge for animals in need since 2006. The private sanctuary is now home to more than
120 furry residents and 50 feathered residents, and is a haven for sick, injured and abandoned farm animals as well as domestic animals. The Ghosts in our Machine will screen at Grovedale College, Wingarra Drive, Grovedale on Friday September 5, guests are asked to arrive at 6.45 for a 7pm start. Tickets are $10 per person and available at the door. For more information on Willowite Animal Sanctuary, visit facebook.com/willowite2006.

BOOK REVIEW WITH GREAT ESCAPE BOOKS Lost and Found
by Brooke Davis
There is a lot of buzz around Brooke Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quirky debut novel Lost and Found â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we on the Surf Coast are particularly proud given its author grew up in Bellbrae! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a road trip story with a difference given the three main characters on the trip are a sevenyear-old girl, an 82-year-old widower and an 87-year-old escapee from a nursing home. All three are lost in their own way and all three have been affected by death, but in this touching tale, they all find that life is worth living. The book does explore themes of life, love and death but in such a charming, heart-warming way that it is an easy and entertaining read (and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only later that you think more deeply about it). With section headings such as: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Fact About the World Millie Knows for Sureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s What Karl Knows About Funeralsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, you will have a little smile to yourself even though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following the tale of a child who has been abandoned by her mother after the death of her father. The action canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken too seriously either (as the three friends outwit authorities at every turn and attempt to make their way across the country), but the sentiment and the beautifully created characters deserve serious attention.
Published by Hachette RRP: $26.99 Review by Andi Lawson-Moore @ greatescapebooks
This House of Grief: The Story of a Murder Trial I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine there is anyone reading this unaware of the tragic case of the three young Farquharson boys, who drowned in a Winchelsea dam on Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 2005 after the car their father was driving came off the road. Even to those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the family, the event was a nightmare and one whose circumstances had people divided â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was it a terrible accident or a case of revenge? Robert Farquharson was charged with murder, found guilty, successfully appealed the verdict, was retried and found guilty again, unsuccessfully sought leave to appeal this guilty verdict and is now serving a minimum 33 years in jail. Author Helen Garner followed the trial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact she became consumed with it for seven years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is the subject of her latest book This House of Grief. You may think you know this story well. After two Supreme Court trials the case was extensively reported and it had never appeared to contain any great mystery. But This House of Grief is not really about what happened on that fateful Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, instead it is a compelling look at our legal system from Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat in the court â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the personalities, the court room antics, the tragedy of both victims and accused, the way evidence is presented to a jury (with so much left unexplained), the way words are twisted and the effect such a trial has on everyone involved. This is a not a book that will change your view of the events in question, but it will give you fascinating insight into the process of seeking justice.

AUGUST 29 – SEPTEMBER 4 2014 © Joanne Madeline Moore 2014
Rambunctious Rams approach life in a direct and straight-forward way but all is not as it appears this week, so a more subtle approach is required. You’re keen to pursue personal projects but don’t neglect the needs of others, clear communication is the key. Venus shifts into your wellbeing zone so look after your health and choose an exercise program you enjoy, with plenty of variety.
Trust is a big issue in a romantic or platonic relationship this week Crabs. Avoid the temptation to stew over perceived slights and hold onto grudges. Find room in your heart to forgive and forget. The moon and Saturn are at odds on Sunday, which sets your frustration levels on high. If something’s not working, leave it for another day – and move on to a less complicated project..
Mercury moves into your sign which is terrific for talking, texting and tweeting but resist the urge to be indecisive. Money matters are on your mind as you weigh up the pros and cons of spending verses saving. Librans appreciate the finer things in life; you’re a happy hedonist but, in the current economic climate, strive to reign in your love of luxury and learn to live on less.
This week, many Capricorns will be given the chance to heal an old emotional wound or patch up a long-standing relationship problem, courtesy of the powerful sun/Pluto trine. Accept the opportunity gratefully, with outstretched hands and an open heart. Don’t let false pride stop you from taking a massive leap forward when it comes to love, family, forgiveness and personal transformation.
You’ll have to dig deeper if you want to decipher what’s really going on – especially when it comes to a child, teenager or friend. Make sure you focus on verified facts, rather than vague fantasies. If you have set ideas about the way the weekend should proceed, then the Aquarian moon will turn your expectations upside down. So strive to be more flexible, and go with the flow.
Your recuperative powers are strong as you rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. Mid-week is the time to initiate professional projects and make financial decisions, as Pluto boosts your business acumen. With Jupiter in your sign, you’re ready to shine! Be inspired by birthday great Freddie Mercury “I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
With mighty Mars moving through your sign until September 14 it’s time to get some firm direction as you tackle projects with courage, confidence – and plenty of Scorpio chutzpah. Plus, Pluto power boosts your ability to affect others deeply via a social media blitz; a local community project; or an international initiative. Don’t waste the opportunity to make a real difference.
Being cool and detached, your usual modus operandi, won’t work this week. With Jupiter jumping through your relationship zone, passion and enthusiasm are what’s required when it comes to romance. Singles – be proactive and go looking for love! You’ll feel at home this weekend, as the moon moves through Aquarius and you mix with creative friends and bohemian colleagues.
Your daily job or routine chores may feel like one step forwards and two steps back. Saturn and Mars encourage you to persevere and keep your motivation levels high. As birthday great Lily Tomlin said “The road to success is always under construction.” Venus visits your domestic zone from September 6-30 so strive to make your home a haven of peace, love and domestic harmony!
Car problems need to be attended to ASAP. Being a super-perfectionist is fraught with frustrations though, so try to take things in your stride. On the weekend, it will be hard for others to resist your voluptuous Virgo charms. So ask your partner for the moon and the stars, and they might just deliver. Looking for your soul mate? Send out the appropriate signals – and then go after them.
Work and business get a welcome boost from the sun/ Pluto trine, as others sit up and listen to what you have to say. But don’t even think about cutting corners. If you are slap-dash and take short-cuts, it will only backfire and you’ll just end up having to do everything twice. If you are organised and focused, then you can move mountains and still have time for fun and games!
If you’re planning a business trip or heavenly holiday then don’t leave things until the last minute. Now is the time to do your homework, go through your itinerary and organise your paperwork. With Venus moving through your relationship zone from September 6-30, aim to be more positive about partnerships Pisces. If things aren’t going well, a dash of diplomacy will help

Sharing files TALKING COMPUTERS WITH BRAD MCDERMOTT FROM TORQUAY COMPUTERS
p. 5261 2888 m. 0439 070 571 torquaycomputers.com.au
Do you have millions of photos, thousands of home videos, hundreds of albums? Where do you store it all? If you’re like most of my customers, it’s on a portable hard drive. The one HUGE problem with this is that it gets taken from the telly to the computer to the kids’ room, gets thrown about and ends up kaput! All your treasured songs, all the movies and 15 years’ worth of photos of the kids gone! The solution to this common problem is to set up a device at home to share all your data. This magic box will be accessible to everyone at home and also offer you some form of protection against data loss. It is possible to set up a computer like a server and share all the data, however, it’s time consuming and can be difficult to set up unless
you have a resident nerd in the house. The best option is something called a NAS (Network Attached Storage). These are generally a small box the size of a shoebox, give or take. They can have several hard drives installed and be set up for redundancy to cover one of those hard drives failing. They come with a range of features such as file sharing, remote access, automatic backups and printer sharing. Most NAS devices are configured through a web browser from a computer on your network. They are user-friendly to set up and once configured require little ongoing maintenance. With the addition of an external hard drive to back up onto, this creates a robust backup plan that should save you in most circumstances from any data loss if configured correctly. There are many to choose from, ranging in price from $150 (without hard drives) for the most basic models up to whatever you want to spend.

BFL semi-finals preview WITH PADDY SLACK
Semi-final 2 Geelong Amateur (1st) vs. Ocean Grove (3rd) @ Portarlington Recreation Reserve, Saturday 2.10pm Ocean Grove comes off an intense 14-point victory over Torquay, while Geelong Amateur will go in fresh after having the week off. Ocean Grove has lost its past three consecutive semi finals but a win today will place the Grubbers in its first grand final since 2007. In Round 8 Ammos ran out 27-point winners against Ocean Grove. Power forward Damien Zaparenkov booted six majors that day, while at the other end, Travis Gavin kicked four. With both players in impressive form it is expected that they will find the goals again on Saturday. When they met again in round 15, Geelong Amateur trailed at all three breaks but a five goal to one final term got them over the line by 14 points. The two also squared off in last year’s semi-final where Ammos enjoyed a 36-point victory in a heated encounter. Chris Kangars proved last year that he takes his game to another level in finals; the ruckman has been among Ammos best in the past three meetings with Ocean Grove and will need to shine again on Saturday for Geelong to make its first grand final appearance since 2011. Geelong Amateur co-coaches Andrew Lovick and Cory Bauer will have a tough task at the selection table this week due to having a full list to pick from for the first time this year. Returning
for Ammos this weekend could be Brad King, Richy Kangars, Sam Allen, Nick Elliott, Jarrod Westwood and Baden Dodd.
Players’ to watch Geelong Amateur’s Baden Dodd: The spearhead returns for his first game since round 14. He is arguably one of the best players in the competition; his ability to win contested possessions will make a huge impact for Ammos. Ocean Grove’s Liam Rock: The veteran stood up when they needed him most last week. He was also imposing in last year’s semi-final against Ammos. Prediction: Geelong Amateur by 28 points.
Semi-final 1 Torquay (2nd) vs. Queenscliff (4th) @ Portarlington Recreation Reserve, Sunday 2.10pm Queenscliff ran out 35-point winners over Barwon Heads last week, while Torquay endured a 14-point loss to Ocean Grove. Following a 10-game winning streak Torquay has lost its past two consecutive matches and on the verge of going out in straight sets, while a win for the Coutas will place them one step closer to a record-equaling fourth consecutive premiership. Merely two weeks ago Queenscliff proved they’re a genuine premiership contender after prevailing by 20 points over the Tigers. Torquay’s inaccuracy cost them, booting 19 behinds along with their four majors. Last week wasn’t much different for the Tigers who were again unable
convert in front of goal. Former Sydney Swan Luke Vogels was missing from the lineup last week, if up for selection this week he may be the answer to Torquay’s inaccuracy up forward. Steve Owen starred with his run off the half backline and was named the Coutas best in the round 18 meeting. Young gun David Allitt was Torquay’s best player that day, however last week suffered a lower-leg injury in the opening quarter which kept him on the sidelines for the majority of the match. In Round 7 the Coutas prevailed by 27 points after a 7.3 to 0.2 first quarter closed the door on the Tigers. Daniel DeGois kicked six majors for Queenscliff that day, currently sitting on 98 goals for the season he will most likely reach triple figures on Sunday.
Players’ to watch Torquay’s Andre Lister: The ruckman will have a big task ahead of him this Sunday. He hasn’t had a stand-out performance since earlier this season and is due for a big game. Queenscliff’s Roscoe Holmes: The star midfielder bagged six goals last week in just his fifth match of the season, expect him to find plenty of the ball on Sunday. Prediction: Queenscliff by 5 points. Follow Paddy Slack on Twitter @PaddySlack1 and visit krockfootball.com.au for more regional football coverage. SEE PAGE 99 FOR THIS WEEKEND’S FINALS FIXTURE

Ammos confirm place in grand final with bruising defeat of Torquay GEELONG Amateur has booked a spot in the BFL grand final after they beat Torquay in a bruising encounter for the second time in three weeks on the weekend. Torquay were out of the blocks early, bolstered by the return of goaler Amy Vogels and player-coach Courtney Cuolohan. But the pressure of the Ammos defenders
held off the Tigers attack, allowing the undefeated ladder leaders to win 39-32 and enjoy a week off heading into the grand final. After a goal-for-goal first half, Portarlington held off Anglesea to win 47-39 and will face Torquay in the preliminary final next week. Goaler Candice Bull provided a strong
target for the Demons, while mid-courter Vanessa Sgambarro took out the three votes. See page 97 for more results. Players struggle for the ball in the semi final between the Tigers and the Ammos, which the Ammos won to advance to the grand final. Photo: MICHAEL CHAMBERS

TO CELEBRATE the 2014 opening of the trout fishing season in rivers, the Eildon community and state government will once again host the Goulburn Fishing Festival on September 5 and 6. There is a wide range of freshwater fishing opportunities in the district, including the Goulburn River, the scenic Eildon Pondage and the iconic Lake Eildon. “This is the third consecutive year of the festival, which is supported by the state government’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative,” Benalla state MP Bill Sykes said. “The Coalition government recognises the social and economic contribution that recreational fishing makes to Victoria and we want to promote our state’s great fishing opportunities to the community and visitors.” Highlights of this year’s festival include: • Fireworks on the Friday night; • The release of trout into the Eildon Pondage on the Saturday; • Local experts providing advice about fishing for trout, redfin and native fish; • Free fly fishing lessons; • Children’s entertainment including face painting and a jumping castle; • Fishing tackle and local produce displays; and • Cooking demonstrations. There will be free guided tours of Fisheries Victoria’s hatchery at Snobs Creek, where fish are grown for the state-wide stocking program. “On Saturday, guided tours of the Snobs Creek fish hatchery will depart hourly from the Eildon Community Centre,” Dr Sykes said. “The hatchery is one of Australia’s
most diverse and the free tours are a rare opportunity to get behind the scenes and understand how it’s all done.” MEANWHILE, the Torquay Angling Club is running a function on Saturday August 30. They would like to invite all members and the public to head to the club for an exciting event with a safety presentation by the Geelong Boating Centre on boating safety from 7pm. They will also be a barbecue available from 6pm prior to the presentation. Humming Bird sounders will also

Anglesea River update A recent fish survey of the Anglesea River showed that there was minimal recruitment back in the system. The river is once again turning acidic after recent rain. The shire is likely to place warning signs along its banks once again. Though the process may be natural, the event itself is far from it, yet nothing is still being done to
establish why after four years in a row now this event continues to occur and around the same time each year. This will no doubt have an impact on Anglesea once again leading into the summer holidays.

CELEBRITY TIPPING COMPETITION
HOCKEY Bellarineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division one women will play their first grand final this weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the team feels it has already won. Coordinator Alison Kooloos said while the ladies were very excited about making the finals during their first season, the main aim of the team was to bring women back in to hockey who had given it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like we're already winning as we have attracted 11 women of the 17 qualified, who had stopped playing hockey, plus one more who had never played before,â&#x20AC;? Ms Kooloos said. She said this was the first season Hockey Bellarine had entered a team in the Division 1 Hockey Geelong local competition, with the average age of women about 40 years old. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will play Newtown this Sunday at Stead Park, Corio at 2pm.

MONDAY, a strong field of 53 players took to the course for our Vets/Seniors monthly round, the winds were blowing and at times it rained but that did not stop our intrepid bunch. Leading the way for the men was Geoff Drury scoring 27 points and for the ladies Gill Patten had 26 points, not bad scores considering they only played 12 holes. NTPs Maureen Stuart and Wayne Bodley. As usual the roast beef rolls went down a treat and Bob’s ever funny presentations capped of another great round. The next game will be on September 8 and bookings are open now. Tuesday was rather a quiet one for our ladies as only 50 players entered the competition as most are still away or are simply avoiding the cold.

NTPs went to Ben Eccles on the 7th and Tom Nelson on the 17th Saturday Stableford: The course was in good condition due to a string of nice days. The wind picked up as the day went on but this wasn’t enough to deter golfers as there was a large field. Ron Henderson was the A Grade champion of the day with a great score of 40 points followed by Louis McFadden with a very reasonable score of 36. The B Grade champion was Michael Fleming with a great score of 35 closely followed by Pieter Egberts with a score of 33.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB AS I travel around the country and enjoy a game of golf at various clubs and courses on the way, I find it interesting to observe and experience the varying levels of technology being used at these places. Several clubs still take comp entries in handwriting on booking sheets, others have to be done through the pro-shop staff, but only very few have the software to accept entries online. We are very fortunate at Portarlington that we can enter any time of the day or night via the internet, choose when and with whoever we would like to play, and also cancel our entry if the need be prior to the event.
WITH ROB CASEY
Wednesday August 20, Ladies’ Par A dream round by board member Marilyn Mooney of 6 up won her Trophy of the Day and A Grade from Val Tither on +1. Joy McGregor also enjoyed her day out to win B Grade with +2 from Lynne Kirby on 0, while Marge Wall was our best C Grader with +2 by a shot from Barbie Schwarz.
Saturday August 23
Tuesday August 19, Men’s Stableford
Thursday Stableford: The ladies had great conditions to greet them on this Thursday. The
Tuesday Par: The fastest growing comp at The Sands is the Tuesday 9-hole medley. With good conditions and the course drying out for players it was Billy Mitris who bolted away from the field with a fantastic score of plus 4, the next best was John Eddington on square. Sunday Stableford: Challenging day for all competitors with the heavy rain overnight and strong winds. Conditions were tough for scoring with light drizzle throughout the day it was Darrell Nash who grinded his way around with a fantastic score of 36 points from a strong finishing Adam Totton who finished in 2nd two shots off the pace.
A brilliant round by one of our “young guns” in Haydn Garner, whose 41 points off a handicap of two really threw a cat among the pigeons. He got Trophy of the Day and A Grade from Angelo Ferrara on 39, and got the pinshot at the 2nd on the way! Nipper Dodds scored 40 points to win B Grade by a shot from Arthur Dimble, while Graeme Wren also scored a 40 to get the C Grade voucher from Ian Pardy on 39. D Grade went to Graeme Sedgmen with his 36 from Gordon Mainsbridge on 34. Other NTPs went to Shane Davidson and Robin Burns.
With 148 men and 33 ladies on the course, there were plenty of good scores coming in, but Robin Burns was the best of them with his nett 68, also pipping James Harvey by a shot for the A Grade voucher. John Cranston showed a return to some good form by taling out the B Grade award with his 71 by a shot from Robert Perry, while Lance Radcliffe’s 69 got him the C Grade honours from Max Boyle on 73. Peter Kelly came in with a 71 to win D Grade from Mark Shone on 73, with NTPs going to Don English, Keith Giles and Leigh Wilson, and Ritchie Howells getting the ProPin. The Ladies’ event was won by Marg Holt with her 72, followed by Val Tither on 76 and Louise Blomley on 77. NTPs were won by Angela Royal and Louise, with Beth Peterson taking out the ProPin and Joyce Livermore the putting with 26 putts.

Torquay’s littlest footy players score big
A group of Torquay Auskick participants finish up their season at the program’s presentation night on Friday.
THE final game and presentation night for the fast-growing Torquay Auskick was held on Friday night with two players and a coach rewarded for their significant commitment to the program. Dick Crocker was presented with a trophy for completing seven years as an Auskick coach and players Harrison Saw and Cooper Brown were given trophies for participating in the program for 6 years and 5 years respectively.
There was also a raffle for some Sherrin footballs which were donated by NAB Torquay. Torquay Auskick co-ordinator Pete Saw said everyone had a great night. “We had more than 250 kids ranging from kindergarten to Grade 4 attend,” he said. “They participated in a game to show off the skills they learnt throughout the season before being presented with a medallion
and certificate.” Torquay Auskick had 320 participants this season and, for the first time, a girls-only group of 20. Organisers are hoping to gain more interest from girls interested in getting involved in the game, especially with the new Torquay Tigers Youth Girls team starting next season.
