POINT LONSDALE community members are outraged that the Borough of Queenscliffe is making changes to the beach – without ‘proper’ community consultation.

A $136,000 replacement access ramp for emergency services vehicles and surf rescue boats is being built near Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club beach patrol station at Point Lonsdale Back Beach.

Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor, Bob Merriman, said the ramp is “not negotiable” and is “absolutely necessary” to cater for all-weather emergency access to the public beach – which is ranked as one of the most dangerous in Australia.

But residents are furious that the only consultation

conducted was with emergency services and the Point Lonsdale SLSC.

President of Point Lonsdale Boardriders, Ross Bird, said the ramp was an “eyesore”.

“Without wanting to sound dramatic, this is a serious and urgent issue,” he said.

“My objection is that the community was not shown plans and offered any chance to comment on what will be a blight on our beautiful Back Beach.

“Not only is the ramp protruding out from the dunes many metres to the ocean – rather than running adjacent to the dune line, hugging the dunes – but so far it looks cheap and very nasty.”

Bird said the development was unsatisfactory on many levels and planned to start a petition to stop it being carried out.

“Hopefully this can be stopped before it goes any further and our community is not forced to live with a structure that is totally inappropriate for the next 50 years,” he said.

“Once this thing is up, it’s going to be up and butt ugly for a very long time.”

However, Merriman argued the ramp must go ahead as an issue of public safety.

“The upgrade to this ramp will ensure that the three washouts that have made emergency access impossible in recent years do not reoccur in the future,” he said.

“It is an infrastructure upgrade to meet public safety needs and is not negotiable.”

A coastal engineer is currently re-designing the ramp, he said, after initial works, which began in

September last year, were washed away by erosion.“It is expected that the new works will be

completed well before the next summer beach patrol season,” Merriman said.

Merriman confirmed that the ramp would not be made of plastic – a concern that some community members had.

“The construction method being employed is the same as any modern coastal jetty,” he said.

“It will feature steel screw piles with a plastic sleeve filled with mortar to encase the pile to stop rusting, spotted gum or other high-durability timber beams and bearers and a permeable high durability synthetic deck surface will allow sand and waves to wash through.

Lack of consultation on Point Lonsdale beach changes riles locals

MAYOR’S COLUMNVolunteers selflessly helpThis week is National Volunteer Week, a week which has been celebrated annually since 1988. Our Volunteer Celebration provides a local platform for us to pay tribute to our volunteers who donate their time and energy so selflessly to help others.

This year’s Borough of Queenscliffe Volunteer Celebration was held on Tuesday, May 10, where 140 participants from community clubs organised and attended the evening at the Queenscliff Golf Club rooms where people enjoyed a very pleasant night mingling and catching up with other volunteers.

Musique, a very talented local recorder ensemble, played some great music and two door prizes of $100 were won; one by the Queeenscliffe Community Nursery the other by Bellarine Catchment Network. I’m sure both groups will put the money to very good use within the Borough. We hope that in a small way this encourages more people to engage in volunteer activity. Celebrations like this give us cause to consider what we can do to support our volunteers.

Good Friday, Busking for the KidsThe final tins have been counted and so now the community can be well satisfied with the effort and achievements of the day - with more than $35,000 raised for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. The organising committee has met to debrief the event and has already started planning for next year.

A planning meeting to develop the operating structure and program outline for 2012 will be held on May 23. If you are interested in getting involved please contact our community development coordinator, Emma Clark, on 5258 1377, for more details.

Point Lonsdale Structure Plan The Point Lonsdale Structure Plan is a joint initiative by the Borough of Queenscliffe and the City of Greater Geelong. Both councils adopted the plan in 2009 following extensive public consultation.

At the request of both Geelong and Queenscliffe Councils the Minister for Planning is now working on a Planning Scheme Amendment to incorporate the plan into both councils’ planning schemes.

An independent panel has been appointed by the minister to hear submissions following exhibition, and this panel met for a directions hearing on May 10. The panel hearing will commence on Tuesday, June 21, and sit for three days.

Queenscliffe Planning Scheme reviewThe Queenscliffe Planning Scheme review is now underway, and through our consultants we are starting by asking what you think about planning and development in the borough to date and your expectations over the next five to ten years.

The Queenscliffe Planning Scheme is the principal tool for managing land use and development within the borough. It is a statutory document that sets out the objectives, policies, zones and planning permit requirements for the use, development, protection and conservation of land.

The review is a statutory requirement that provides an audit of the performance of the planning scheme including strengthening its strategic objectives; ensure appropriate controls; and where possible, reducing the complexity of the Planning Scheme and unnecessary permit requirements.

The first consultation period runs from April

18 to May 20. During this stage we want to hear your views on the strategic direction of the borough and opportunities to improve its Planning Scheme.

A second consultation period will provide the community with an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Planning Scheme review report.

There are a number of ways you can get involved to help identify priorities for the planning scheme review. Residents and landowners can still participate by completing our online survey or making a written submission. For more information please visit the Planning Scheme review website www.planningreview.queenscliffe.vic.gov.au

Jordan Reserve boat rampWork has commenced on this very necessary project. The security fence has been installed and the old pontoons have been removed.

Over the next two weeks the old piles will be removed, dredging works to make the area around the new pontoons safe will be completed and the new larger pontoons will be installed. Work is still expected to be completed as advertised on Friday, May 27.

THE NORTHERN Bellarine Foreshore development is under way and anyone who uses the area is being sought for ideas.

Bellarine Bayside chairperson, Cathy Whelan, said local residents, weekenders, visitors, businesses and community groups help shape the future of the foreshore between Portarlington and St Leonards.

“The Northern Bellarine Foreshore Planning process is in full swing,” she said

“The ‘Under the Umbrellas’ consultation in January brought us into contact with over 180 people who talked about what they valued about the foreshore as well as sharing their concerns.

“The next important stage in the community consultation will focus on creating a shared vision for the foreshore and what needs to be done to realise that vision.”

There are several ways people can engage in the May stages of the community consultation.

Round table discussions of three to five people

are being encouraged by anyone interesting in holding one at their workplace, home, social club or caravan.

Bellarine Bayside will provide a kit containing all the materials needed to run a round table.

For more information phone 5259 3311 or pick up a kit from the Bellarine Bayside’s Portarlington office at the Holiday Park on Boat Road (off Sproat Street).

You can also complete an online survey at www.bbfcom.com.au/

The results of this consultation will be discussed at Indented Head Community Hall on Saturday, June 4, from 2pm-4.30pm.

Keep in the loop with the Northern Bellarine Foreshore Plan as it develops, by registering your email address at www.bbfcom.com.au or phoning 5259 3311 to join the mailing list.

People can also contribute ideas emailing [email protected]

THE COALITION government’s first State Budget has overlooked the needs of Portarlington Primary School, failing to allocate money to fund a redevelopment of the school, opposition leader Daniel Andrews has said.

Visiting the Portarlington Primary School with Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville, and Upper House Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney, Andrews said premier Ted Baillieu had turned his back on Portarlington students

by not matching Labor’s commitment of $6million for redevelopment works.

“The State Budget was Mr Baillieu’s opportunity to deliver for the Portarlington community and students to fund the school upgrade,” Andrews said.

“Instead Mr Baillieu did not provide a single cent to any schools in the Geelong or the Bellarine electorates in this year’s State Budget.

“Labor boasts a proud history in the

electorate of Bellarine, having invested $18.9million while in office.

“Today it appears that the Baillieu Government has willingly neglected families in the Bellarine community and is clearly not interested in the educational future of the local students.”

Neville said this was one example of the State Government walking away from essential projects on the Bellarine, despite committing to a number of them prior to last year’s election.

Pictured inspecting the school were (from left) Gayle Tierney, Lisa Neville, Daniel Andrews and Portarlington PS principal, Denise Simons.

JACK Rabbit Vineyard, a stone’s throw from Drysdale on the Bellarine Peninsula, has launched Midweek Temptation – a delicious snapshot of the new Autumn Menu.

Head chef at Jack Rabbit Vineyard, David Hall, said the menu was mouth-wateringly good.

“It is fresh and contemporary. I am inspired by local ingredients and seasonal produce as well as seafood,” he said.

Midweek Temptation offers guests a main meal, a dessert and glass of wine for $45 per person, Monday to Friday.

The vineyard’s general manager, Lyndsay Sharp, said both the ‘Midweek Temptation’ and new Autumn Menu showcased Hall’s creative culinary talent.

“A lot of time and effort has gone into creating this menu – which is loaded with fresh local seafood and seasonal vegetables – and it’s a unanimous vote from everyone here, this is David’s best menu yet,” Sharp said.

The Midweek Temptation line-up of main courses includes Japanese vegetable hot pot, free range chicken with leek and spring onion tartlet, scampi and garlic infused Jack Rabbit bubbles or homemade fettucine with local seafood tossed in a Pinot Grigio and saffron sauce.

Sharp said a Midweek Temptation experience also included a complimentary guided tasting and glass of wine.

Jack Rabbit Vineyard is open from 10.30am until 5pm daily for lunch, guided tastings and cellar door sales, as well as on Friday and Saturday nights for dinner.

AN OCEAN Grove medical centre is offering interactive services this week, in conjunction with Food Allergy Awareness Week.

Anaphylaxis Australia is aiming to reach all Australians – regardless of whether they have allergies or not.

President of Anaphylaxis Australia, Maria Said, said that new research into food allergy in Australia showed that one in every 10 children is food allergic.

“We want to highlight the fact that there is no longer any excuse to not know how serious food allergy is,” she said.

“Gone are the days when food allergy was rare and people denied it was real.

Epic Health in Ocean Grove is promoting allergy awareness from May 16 to 21.

“Previous rock and concrete ramps have been washed away on three occasions and public safety on a public beach requires an all-weather engineering-driven solution that will guarantee access in any emergency situation.

“It is absolutely necessary. The nearest all-weather high tide access point is 6.5 kilometres away at Ocean Grove.

“Attractiveness of anything man made is in the eye of the beholder and anything we do in this beautiful coastal environment interferes with the natural landscape.

“The reality is that if the coastline is to remain accessible and safe we need to access what will function in the worst possible conditions.

“There are clear and unambiguous responsibilities that council and the Department of Sustainability and Environment have in relation to managing Coastal Crown Land. Provision and management of beach access points are amongst these responsibilities.”

Borough of Queenscliffe is building a ramp at Point Lonsdale Back Beach – much to the disgust of some community members.

Ramp rage

DIVE head-first into the Sea of Words festival in Queenscliff this month.

Organiser Leanne Stein of the Borough of Queenscliffe is excited to be bringing a range of creative word-driven ventures to the district.

“The festival has a wonderful line up this year and we are not even mid-way through the month. There is still plenty to enjoy,” she said.

“We have short films, zine making and book

talks. There really is something for everyone; from small people to big ones.

“Come along and check out a few of these great events. The Sea of Words was set up because of a drought of discussion around books and is open to anyone.”

This weekend Scott Lyon from the Melbourne Museum of printing will be at Brush, Lens and Clay Gallery in Hobson Street with his tabletop hand press.

At the Queenscliff Uniting Church on Hesse Street there will be short film screenings from 6pm

on Saturday.Films Stalled, The Accident, Hitchhicker, Last

Roll of the Dice, Pain of the Macho, Tomorrow, A World Away, In The Can, will be screen.

Tickets cost $5 and are available from the Visitor Information Centre, also on Hesse Street.

On Sunday there is a Zine Making Day for anyone interested in learning about or having a go at the craft.

The self published works allow anyone to get their messages read.

Melbourne zine artist Maude Farrugia, who hails from Queenscliff, will speak about the process of making a zine and inspire others to express themselves through the medium.

On Wednesday, May 25, at 11am, author Rod Clement will read his creative and colourful tale Feathers for Phoebe, at Queenscliff Kindergarten.

Other events, historical talks, displays, and book readings will also be on offer during the month.

“Come along and experience something new and different,” Stein said.

��...the difference is everything.

ACCORDING to City of Greater Geelong Mayor, John Mitchell, the goal of this year’s council Budget is to maintain core services and keep costs down for residents.

“We have achieved this despite a significant increase in costs to our operation and the need to service a growing population,” he said.

The Bellarine stands to benefit from community services funding, sporting facility upgrades and increased kindergarten facilities.

Money has also been set aside to improve infrastructure in growth areas and further development projects in St Leonards, Leopold, and Ocean Grove.

Overall, the budget provides $12.13million for road maintenance and upgrades, and $3.59m for building maintenance.

A total of $6.84m is provided for parks and reserves maintenance; council’s Aged Services programme will receive $18.1m with $14.5m going to Family Services.

A total of $3m will see the start of construction on the Ocean Grove Integrated Children’s Centre, there’s provision for $1.5m of borrowings for Ocean Grove sporting infrastructure, a project that is dependent on further funding from State and Federal governments to proceed.

A total of $3.43m is provided for upgrades to community facilities, more than $2m for recreation reserve upgrades and a further $3.78m for upgrades to recreation facilities; including $500,000 to start work on the Leopold Community Hub.

“The cost of the goods and services that the council must purchase to do its job has increased above CPI, so for us to keep the rate increase to 4.9 per cent has been challenging to say the least,” Mitchell said.

“Our average rate increase of 4.9 per cent includes

the municipal charge and garbage charge and is in line with our projections from previous years.

“We have achieved this by finding efficiencies in our operation across the board – not by cutting services – on the contrary we have actually increased service areas that are being impacted by rapid growth – this includes planning and building, family services and parks maintenance.

“Our other mandate in developing the 2011-2012 Budget has been to ensure our core services are maintained or increased and I’m proud to say we have achieved this.

“Expenditure on services delivered to the community has increased by $19m on last year’s figure for a total of $245.6m.

“We’ve made a significant increase in funding to libraries with council’s contribution to the regional library corporation up nine per cent to $5.9m and a further $1.64m for the fit out and operation of the new Waurn Ponds library.

“Our capital works programme has also increased considerably over last year, having gone from $64m to $84m in 2011-2012.”

THE BELLARINE community has had all Federal election commitments delivered in the 2011/2012 budget, according to Federal Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman.

“Several important community projects have now been officially funded and the money is there for them to go full steam ahead,” he said.

“There are a range of projects from water recycling to community sports infrastructure that will be very important for both the sustainability and the strength of local communities.”

Funding for local Bellarine projects include:• $2million for the Shell Road Sports

Precinct redevelopment• Broadband for seniors kiosks in Drysdale

Retirement Village, Ocean Grove Senior Citizens Centre and SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre

• $10million for the Northern Water Treatment and Black Rock Water Recycling Treatment plants

• $28,000 for the Borough of Queenscliffe for road upgrades.

Cheeseman said he was proud to see funding for the recycled water and Shell Road projects.

“The Shell Road project is the most important community sports project on the Bellarine Peninsula,” he said.

“We now just need to see the commitments from other levels of government so we can get on and build these projects, something I think the community is tired of waiting for.”

Budget targets strong growth Full steam ahead, says Cheeseman

LEOPOLD’S Op Shop is a prime example of what volunteers can do to help in their community.

The shop – located in the hall behind the Uniting Church – is run totally by volunteers and has recently been given a fresh new makeover

“The shop has been expanded and has a new, fresh look,” said volunteer manager, Liz Smith.

“We have gradually improved the shop… when it first opened we would have been lucky to make $30 a day, and now we can make nearly $100 a day.”

Smith said the success of the shop is down to the hard work of the volunteers – some from the Uniting Church congregation and some not – but the one thing they have in common is helping the community.

“A lot of people have put in an extraordinary amount of time and effort,” Smith said.

“Robyn and Philip Manton put in a huge amount of hours to revamp the shop and it looks just great.”

The shop has been operating for four years and apart from supplying goods to the community, it also helps in a number of other areas – with emotional help and donations where applicable.

THE HUGE contribution made by volunteers in and around the Bellarine was acknowledged last week by Parks Victoria to celebrate National Volunteer Week.

Several groups are doing great work at the You Yangs Regional Park, Brisbane Ranges National Park, Serendip Sanctuary, Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve and Ocean Grove Nature Reserve.

Parks Victoria ranger Cat James said work done by local volunteers provides a huge boost to the task of caring for local parks and reserves.

“It makes such a difference to have dedicated people helping us to preserve and maintain the natural beauty and heritage of our local parks,” she said.

“The Friends of Edwards Point are one group that make a significant impact in their

local reserve on the Bellarine Peninsula and we appreciate the contribution they make. Their generous donation of time and effort help make Edwards Point Nature Conservation Reserve a great place to visit.”

Over the past 14 years, the friends have been active on a wide range of tasks including tackling weeds, maintaining seed plots, tree planting and contributing ideas to managing the reserve.

The community is invited to join the friends in planting a variety of tree species indigenous to the local area at Edwards Point Nature Conservation Reserve from 9am on May 23 and 24.

New Telstra Country Wide Manager connects with local community

Tesltra ‘workshops’ technology with seniors

New Telstra Country Wide Manager connects with local community

Hi, my name is Duane Dalton and I am the new Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager for Geelong and the Surf Coast. I am very excited to be working with the local community to deliver the best possible service to our customers.

Telstra Country Wide has been an integral part of the local community for the past 10 years, and the recent decision by Telstra to broaden the role and responsibilities of the TCW team means we have never been more hands on!

Over the next 12 months my focus will be on engaging with the local community to encourage our customers to come into our stores and learn about our wide range of products and services. We will also be investing $822,000 into Geelong and the Surf Coast region to provide customers with even better mobile coverage and faster data speeds.

Our Telstra Country Wide team is dedicated to the people of Geelong and the Surf Coast. Our staff live locally and have an understanding of the region’s unique needs. This local knowledge means that we can provide the right telecommunications solutions for each business and individual customer.

I look forward to meeting and speaking with people in our community in the coming weeks and hearing about what is important to them so that we can continue to improve upon the quality of our customer service.

Our local Telstra Stores are the place to � nd great Telstra products such as the Telstra T Box®, T Hub® and T-Touch Tab™. Customers can speak with specially trained staff by visiting one of their local Telstra Stores.

Telstra is giving local community groups in the Geelong and the Surf Coast region the opportunity to teach seniors the bene� ts of modern-day communication technology such as mobile phones and computers through the Telstra Connected Seniors program of grants and training.

No-one is ever too old to learn about technology and seniors are always surprised at just how much they can easily do online, like banking, shopping, � nding out about new interests and joining social groups.

We understand the feelings of apprehension around learning how to use new technology. Thankfully, mobile phones and computers can be simple to use and best still, they open up a whole new world of communication.

The workshops are conducted by experts and peers in a friendly and comfortable environment where seniors

learn speci� cally tailored skills at their own pace.

Telstra offers grants of up to $5,000 for local community organisations and up to $50,000 for state and territory organisations to run these workshops.

In addition, the program runs events throughout the country and offers web-based tutorials on technology basics.

DESPITE what has been described the most challenging vintage in years, Geelong vignerons are anticipating Vintage 2011 will see wines emanating from the region that will categorically cement Geelong’s status as one of Australia’s premiere wine producing regions.

“Similar to the majority of Victorian wine growing regions, Geelong faced numerous challenges in the lead up to Vintage 2011, the result of a comparatively

wild and wet season with bouts of humidity dispersed throughout,” said Hugh Hull, Geelong Winegrowers Association (GWA) viticultural executive.

“These climate influences saw both a late harvest and natural attrition in terms of yield but Geelong vignerons are reporting that the resultant quality of fruit and varietal intensity across the board is of a consistently high standard.”

Hull said for those able to keep the high disease

pressure at bay in the lead up to Vintage 2011, the rewards will definitely be there.

“A particularly positive aspect of Vintage 2011 is the fact that there has been some beautiful, slow ripened fruit shining through, particularly in the aromatic whites. The cooler ripening season has resulted in higher natural acidity which should deliver more aromatic, delicate and varietal characteristics than recent vintages,” he said.

Hull said that although later ripening reds such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon had struggled a little for sugar ripeness and colour, varietal intensity was apparent.

He also said one of the wonderful things that set the Geelong wine region apart was that it embraced three dynamic sub regions – The Bellarine, Moorabool Valley and the Surf Coast.

CITY of Greater Geelong is calling on business operators to take part in a new shopper programme.

The Mystery Shopper Programme sees people pose as ordinary customers, purchasing products or service and asking questions. After their visit, they provide a detailed report with feedback on their experience.

The purpose of the audit is not to find fault, but to independently and objectively measure, track and assess the actual customer experience being delivered in a business and provide an independent snapshot of how it is performing.

There is no cost to participate in the programme – all a business will need to do is cover the cost of the product or service provided.

Dedicated tourism business, Tourism Audit Services, will ‘employee’ the myster shoppers.

For more information and an application form, phone Emma Keith on 5244 7107.

PORTARLINGTON’S junior footballers are decked out in new jumpers this season thanks to the team at Neville Richards Real Estate.

The under 10, 12, 14 and 16 teams are all sporting new jumpers after Neville Richards Real Estate decided to increase its sponsorship.

“This is the first year we have done it,” said Luke Campbell from the estate agents.

“We have sponsored the training jumpers in the past but decided to get on board and get right behind the club.

“The kids came and approached us and we are more than happy to help the community and it’s great to see them out there running around.”

Neville Richard Real Estate opened its office in Portarlington in December and will continue to support the community as it continues to grow.

Vintage challenging but strong

COUNCIL BUDGET TO SUPPORT GROWTH AND BUILD COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTUREThe aim of the 2011-2012 Budget is to maintain or improve service levels to the community and keep rate rises to a minimum.

The average residential rate increase of 4.9 per cent places the City of Greater Geelong amongst the lowest rate increases of Victorian Councils.

Despite increases to external costs the Council has worked hard to absorb these costs so they are not passed on to the ratepayer.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Council continues its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. The Budget provides $942,000 for water harvesting projects at Eastern Park, Rippleside and Hume Reserve.

There’s $450,000 for tree planting and after care across the municipality plus $63,000 for our significant tree watering program.

Funding is provided for key strategic environmental projects; $250,000 for the Greenhouse Reduction Local Action Plan; $220,000 for the implementation of the Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and $180,000 for the Future Proofing Geelong program.

The budget also provides funds for the Greater Geelong Cycle Strategy including installation of further bicycle infrastructure.

COMMUNITY SERVICES BOOST

The Budget provides significant funding for community based projects aimed at improving the health and quality of life of residents. Aged services receive a total of $18.1 million and there’s $14.5 million for family services - which includes family and long day care, community child health, children’s services and parenting education.Community facilities receive a total of $3.43 million.

MAJOR BOOST TO LOCAL LIBRARIESThe budget provides $5.9 million to the Geelong Regional Library Corporation which is an increase of 9 per cent on last year’s figure.

In addition to the annual contribution to the library corporation the Budget provides $1.64 million for the fit out and operation of the new Waurn Ponds library.

CENTRAL GEELONG PARKING

70 new car parking spaces will be made available in Central Geelong. The City plans to pull down premises at 20A Gheringhap Street to provide a new street level car park.

The Civic Car Park in Gheringhap Street will also receive a $200,000 upgrade.

There will be no increase to fees for on-street parking in Central Geelong. They will remain at last year’s rate of $2 per hour.

CARE TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT BUDGET AND CITY PLAN?

The 2011-2012 Budget has been guided by Council’s strategic plan for the municipality, which is called City Plan. This plans sets out Council’s objectives for the next four years.

By planning in advance we can ensure that the projects and programs we put in place in the current year will fit with the needs of the community in years to come.

Written submissions on the draft Budget and City Plan are invited and must be received by Wednesday 8 June 2011. Copies of the draft Budget are available at City Customer Service Centres and at www.geelongaustralia.com.au.

HOW DOES THE BUDGET AFFECT MY RATES?

The residential rate has increased by 4.9 per cent as the result of the 2011-2012 Budget. The increase to the average residential rate notice equates to approximately $1 per week.

Just as federal and state governments collect taxes to fund their programs, local governments must also generate funds to pay for the services they provide to the community.

Our rates are a general purpose levy which contributes to more than 120 services plus essential infrastructure such as roads, footpaths, parks, gardens, libraries and sports facilities. The City determines its funding priorities following extensive consultation with the community.

The City decides how much revenue it needs by preparing an annual budget. It is the budget that determines how much the City collects in rates.

Rates assistance is available for pensioners and other ratepayers who may experience difficulties in paying their rates. The City will contact ratepayers who are likely to be eligible and invite them to apply for assistance.

MORE FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

The Budget provides $12.13 million for road maintenance and upgrades. There’s $2.55 million for footpath maintenance and upgrades.

Drainage projects receive $3.81 million and funding for maintenance of public buildings has been increased to $3.59 million.

Significant new building projects include the completion and fit out of the Waurn Ponds Library, the Ocean Grove Integrated Children’s Centre and the upgrade of the fOrt northern suburbs youth centre

WHY HAVE TIP FEES GONE UP?

The state government has increased its landfill tax from $30 per tonne to $44 per tonne as part of its ongoing campaign to reduce waste going to landfill. Despite this significant increase the City has managed to keep its average rate rise down to 4.9 per cent.

The Geelong community has led the way in reducing waste to landfill since the introduction of our three bin kerbside collection service and if weren’t for these efforts the landfill tax would have an even greater impact.

The challenge for us will be to reuse and recycle more and throw away less. We’ll be introducing several new programs this year to help people manage unwanted household goods.

RATES ASSISTANCE

Council provides a range of payment and assistance measures to suit individual needs including options such as regular Direct Debit, Centrepay, deferral of rates and payment arrangements. Contact us for more information

Rates assistance is available for pensioners and other ratepayers who have a household income below $45,114 and whose properties have had a 50% or more increase in their valuation. A waiver is only available once in the two year valuation cycle. Eligibility is also subject to a principle place of residence with no improvements test.

Pensioners are also eligible for the State Government Municipal Concession rebate of $193.40.

News in brief

A GROUP of dedicated Lorne cyclists recently rallied together to enter a team in the Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay and in the process raised more than $22,000 for Lorne Community Hospital.

This year the team of 17 riders – with three support crew – took turns to ride the 520-kilometres from Mildura to Port Fairy as part of the annual event aimed at raising funds for local health services.

Over the past four years the Lorne Community Hospital has been supported by volunteer teams who have raised close to $100,000 for the community hospital.

The teams involve people of a range of ages and

abilities who spend months sourcing donations from local businesses for raffles and auctions along with holding market stalls and seeking corporate and individual sponsorship.

“The support from the local community to help the volunteer riders get the most out of this experience and raise such great amounts for the hospital is wonderful,” said Janelle Bryce, chief executive officer of Lorne Community Hospital.

“It’s great to see local cyclists using this opportunity to give benefits back to our community and at the same time benefit themselves by maintaining their health through exercise.”

The Lorne Community Hospital has identified a need in the community for a Rural Health Project and the funds raised will be going towards this important initiative.

Evidence shows that people in rural communities such as Lorne and its surrounding areas experience worse health outcomes than their counterparts in metropolitan areas. This impacts not only individuals and their families, but also the wider communities which rely on their residents to provide services, a workforce and volunteers.

Reward for great effortsDear Editor,Congratulations and a big shout out to Steve Burton, Glenys Dolphin, Peter Hodder, JRA Cameron, J Bleazby, and David Robert Coldrey for their dedication and hard work in putting together the VCAT application that quashed the Jan Juc pathways scheme… hopefully once and for all!

Additionally, many Jan Juc residents put faith in the collective effort and provided their support to what, at times, seemed like a difficult cause to win.

With this and the recent Spring Creek campaign residents have demonstrated what people power can achieve. The future on the Surf Coast looks brighter.

Raising awareness on SchizophreniaDear Editor,May 16-22 is National Schizophrenia Awareness Week.One in 100 people will develop schizophrenia at some time in their lives.

Schizophrenia is a treatable illness that influences how you interpret information and make sense of your world. Symptoms can include confused thinking, delusions, hallucinations, difficulty expressing emotions and withdrawal from others.

Despite its prevalence, SANE research has found that schizophrenia is still misunderstood, with almost half of all Australians having poor understanding of schizophrenia and the everyday reality of living with the illness. As a consequence people with schizophrenia and their families too often experience stigma.

To help break down this stigma, SANE Australia has developed Snapshots, an online initiative at www.sane.org

Using interviews and photographs, visitors are invited to get to know some ordinary – yet also extraordinary – Australians, revealing what it is like to experience mental illnesses, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder from the inside.

It is important for us all to understand that with effective treatment, recovery programmes, family education and mutual support, the majority of people living with schizophrenia can lead full lives, participate in and contribute to their communities.

During Schizophrenia Awareness Week local communities across Australia will be raising awareness about the illness through a variety of public events.

This is an opportunity to learn more about this misunderstood illness to ensure that much-needed treatment and support is available to all who need it.

Barbara Hocking Executive Director SANE Australia

Warning over shire surveyDear Editor,It appears that the Surf Coast Shire is once again wheeling out the Trojan Horse with the new household waste and recycling survey.

This is the exact innocuous type of survey that the shire ran in regard to footpaths in Jan Juc with their ‘Walkability, Ridability Survey’.

I would warn ratepayers to be very careful about how they reply to this survey. The first question on this survey should have been do you want to pay extra money for future waste services – yes or no? If the answer is yes, then go on to complete the rest of the survey.

The way the survey is structured does not allow for a zero dollar option when asking ratepayers what they would like to pay for each of the proposed extra services.

In light of the planned 6.3% increase in rates you’d really have to wonder who’s running the finances and where all the money’s going.

It’s about time council stopped gouging the ratepayer, and became financially responsible to the community they are employed to represent.

We are not a bottomless pit and as the special charge footpath scheme showed, we will no longer be pushed around.

Philip WestJan Juc

Help give to other less fortunateDear Editor,I write on behalf of The Salvation Army to ask your readers would you be kind enough to help with this year’s critical Red Shield Appeal.

To be frank, after all the challenges we’ve faced in recent months, including helping the victims of

floods, our resources are severely stretched.We need to raise a huge amount of money in the

next 10 weeks to ensure nobody has to miss out on Salvos’ care.

It’s remarkable to think that every 12 months the Salvos help around one million people. All donations help us to change lives.

It has become very clear that the demands upon our day to day social and community services are continuing to grow. The increasing cost of living is impacting on many low income families and individuals.

Our need is literally greater than ever.It has already been a year of unprecedented

natural disasters. Australians have joined together to respond with typical generosity. And many Australians are facing personal disasters such as homelessness, financial hardship, violence in the home, suicide bereavement and unemployment.

We are hearing from so many people who are saying that rising rent, electricity and food prices are hurting Australian families. We’re hearing that rising prices mean some clients of ours have to make a daily choice between buying food and necessities or paying their bills.

People in our cities are hurting. People in regional areas are hurting. We ask people to assist us because we are focused on doing everything we can to help people in need.

It’s easy to help – you can either call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58) or visit www.salvationarmy.org.au

The big Red Shield doorknock will happen on the weekend of May 28-29 and the need for support is simply enormous.

FALLS Creek’s renowned 42-kilometre marathon-length Kangaroo Hoppet celebrates its 21st birthday this year.

The Kangaroo Hoppet is Australia’s international ski marathon, held every year on the last Saturday in August.

Meanwhile, Falls Creek, the home of Australia’s National Cross Country ski team, now has no trail fees to access its 65-plus kilometers of groomed trails.

Whether you are interested in a cruisy ski out to Wallace’s Hut, have a bus load of beginners to instruct in the sheltered Nordic Bowl, or want to get fit for the Hoppet, Falls Creek has the facilities for you.

When arriving at Falls Creek day visitors should drive though to the Windy Corner car park. The cross country ski tracks head off from outside the YMCA Windy Corner Cross Country Ski Center, which houses a day shelter, café, cross country ski hire and ski school.

To access the cross country trails from the Falls Creek Village you can either ski out along the aqueduct from the top of the village, or catch a free shuttle bus to Windy Corner from the bottom of the Gully, Falls Creek Express Chairlifts or outside the Oversnow terminal.

From toddlers to retirees, you can be sure there is something on offer to suit all ages and abilities – both on and off the snow.

Here’s a taste of what’s happening at Falls Creek this winter.

FALLS CREEK SNOWSPORTS SCHOOLThis is no ordinary ski school. It is renowned for its innovative approach to enhancing each guest’s on-snow enjoyment.

Regardless of age, it has programmes for three- to five-year-olds, and six to 14 years (skiing and boarding).

There are women only ski programmes and an aptly titled Boomers on Groomers programme for the more mature-aged skiers and boarders.

TELEMARK SKIING PROGRAMME Telemark skiing (also known as free heel skiing) will be offered to resort guests seeking to add another skill to their on-snow prowess.

Advanced bookings with the Snowsports School office are essential and minimum numbers apply to group lessons. Please view our grading levels to assess your abilities.

Telemark equipment is available for hire from Falls Creek Sports and Gebi’s rental outlets.

NEW PLAZA AREAFalls Creek has completed the final phase of the Slalom Plaza area at the base of Falls Express lift where Wombats Ramble ambles down.

The area is complete with water features and a large architectural staircase accessing the village and improved access to Falls Express lift.

VERTICAL ELEVATED WALKWAYSFalls Creek is Australia’s only true ski in ski out resort in normal conditions and to preserve this highly soughtafter attribute, the resort has installed aerial walkways which take pedestrians through the village via a network

of elevated stairways.Pedestrians no longer need to utilise all the

roads, they can duck between buildings using the steel structured walkways taking them to their destination via a shorter route.

NEW AND IMPROVED NIGHT SHOWThe Night Show is one of Falls Creek most famous night time entertainment events. Each Thursday night, in July and August, the village bowl lights up with on-slope performances and a spectacular fireworks finale.

The show will be upgraded this year for an even more entertaining schedule of precision skiing, speed show and on snow vehicle performances.

There are plenty of trails to discover at Falls Creek. Photo courtesy: CHRIS HOCKING

WHETHER you are a first-timer or have been skiing for years,there is something for everyone at Falls Creek.

GEELONG Lutheran College provides a fresh and exciting Christian educational experience for primary and secondary students.

It is now in its third year of operation as it prepares for the offering of Year 10 next year and lays the foundations necessary to effectively grow into Years 11 and 12 in 2013 and 2014. The decision to offer Year 12 by 2014 has always been part of the planning of the College and we are looking forward to the next few years as we cement our place into the fabric of the establishing Armstrong Creek community.

New state-of-the art facilities are in place with further plans to continually develop facilities for the growing needs of the College. Current programmes provide a sound learning environment for all ages – from Preps and the Primary Years through Middle Years (in a new suite of buildings from Term 3) to the beginning of the Senior Years with the introduction of Yearr 10 in 2012.

Geelong Lutheran College is an environment that fosters and values: • Excellence in education• Quality teaching and learning• God’s influence in our lives• The individual strengths and gifts of each person• The importance of, and being, a community• Respect for the family; and• The education of the whole child.

For families seeking a sound educational experience with the added value of a Christian-based approach, Geelong Lutheran College is a welcomed alternative.

Enrolments are being taken for all levels in 2012 and beyond with an Open Day planned for May 27 from 9.30am-12pm and a Senior School information night at the College on May 26 at 7.30pm.

Prospective families are invited to visit our classes and view our facilities.

WHILE pastoral care begins in the home, it continues at Geelong Lutheran College with students meeting every morning as a home-group, where they form strong relationships with teachers as they share stories, discuss issues and hear Bible readings and devotions.

Through its Pastoral Care Programme the College leads and supports the school community as we care for one another. Each student and

parent can expect to be valued, listened to and cared for at Geelong Lutheran College.

We aim to provide an environment that is safe and welcoming to all.

In addition, Geelong Lutheran College’s pastoral care co-ordinator, Jonny Hedt, is available to help students and families who need extra support. He mentors students one-on-one as well as running social skills and other group

programmes. GLC is exploring how restorative practices

can enhance the development of social skills by strengthening relationships and improving our understanding of others.

This involves students sharing their thoughts and feelings with each other and coming to an understanding about the impact their actions and behaviour have on those around them.

Education for the future

PASTORAL CARE PROGRAMME



• Prep to Year 10 in 2012, full P-12 in 2014.• Enrolment applications welcome now.• Quality Christian education.• New, state-of-art facilities, including specialist areas for secondary.• Bus service available.• Inspections welcome.

AS A Christian school, Geelong Lutheran College embraces a holistic philosophy of education that is focused on learning, personal spirituality, environmental and social conscience, and student well-being.

“We aim to encourage and support students to develop their God-given talents so that they may shape and enrich their world,” explained principal Gary Jewson.

“Although many of our current students and their families many not profess to be Christian, they do recognise the integrity and authenticity of the school’s values, and their

benefits from an educational perspective.“These values underpin who we are, what

we do and why we’re here.“They are more than just a poster on a wall

to us, which is what attracts many families to the school.

“Religious education and pastoral care are woven into every aspect of college life. While students represent a diversity of religious traditions, we are distinctly Lutheran in our identity, which is reflected in our teaching, worship, and lifestyle.”

Geelong Lutheran College offers an innovative curriculum, structured to cater for the whole child, which encourages students’

individuality, their differing learning styles and multiple intelligences.

The school’s enrichment activities extend students’ learning beyond the classroom and currently include choir, debating, netball, basketball, athletics, cross-country and swimming.

The college is running a Senior School Information Night at 7.30pm on Thursday May 26 and an Open Day from 9.30am-12pm on Friday, May 27.

Geelong Lutheran College is located at 2-38 Burvilles Road, Mount Duneed. For more information, phone 5264 1038 or visit www.geelonglutherancollege.net

SINCE opening in 2009, student enrolments at Geelong Lutheran College have already tripled and numbers will continue to increase.

The college is already expanding to cater for future growth with its senior school (Years 10-12) coming on line by 2014 and residential developments, such as Armstrong Creek, attracting new families to the area.

School principal, Gary Jewson, said the college will eventually cater for around 1,050 students, from Prep to Year 12.

“The official opening of our new multi-purpose learning area, art room and three additional prep class rooms marked the completion of our stage one expansion programme,” Jewson said.

“The next 12 months will see ongoing expansion with work already under way on stage two, which includes four additional middle school classrooms to cater for Years 7 to 9 and a purpose-built science facility.

“These works are scheduled for completion in July, which is also when construction gets under way on the next stage: our new technology centre.

“Other infrastructure, including spaces for play and sports activities, will be progressively added as the school population grows over the next three to five years.”

With its strong focus on the latest in educational and environmental design, Geelong Lutheran College already offers current students a

PROTECTING THE BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BARRABOOL HILLS

Barrabool Rural Protection Group - 03 4201 0270 - PO Box 1772, Geelong www.brpg.com.au

The Barrabool Rural Protection Group (BRPG) continues to fight the inappropriate development of a motorsports facility at McAdam Park in the Barrabool Hills.

The inappropriate location of the planned facility in a sensitive environmental area in close proximity to homes and working farms raises significant planning,

noise, environmental and other concerns. A major development in the Barrabool Hills will be unsustainable, will not meet the needs of motorcycle riders and is

unacceptable to the community.

The BRPG calls on local and state governments to work together and with the community to identify a sustainable solution for motocross riding in the region.

If you would like to help or need more information, please see our website www.brpg.com.au, which contains significant new information we have obtained

through Freedom of Information processes including the original business case and the agreement between Motorcycling Australia and the Surf Coast Shire.

REIV welcomes stamp duty cutsTHE REIV has welcomed cuts to stamp duty for first home buyers, eligible pensioners and farmers, as announced in the 2011-12 Victorian Budget.

First home buyers, farmers and pensioners had been looking forward to the cuts since they were promised in last November’s election and they will welcome the announcement.

House prices have more than doubled since the First Home Owners Grant was introduced in 2000, yet for most buyers of a first home the financial assistance is still only $7,000. The cut, which will be worth around $5,794 on a home valued at $565,000, will begin to redress that imbalance.

This additional $5,794 benefit, when added to the continuing grant of $7000, will lift overall assistance on an average home to around $12,794.

Those buying a new home will also benefit, as the bonus of $13,000 in the metropolitan area and $19,500 in regional areas will continue and now be boosted by the stamp duty cuts.

The REIV campaigned for increased assistance for first home buyers and we are happy that stamp duty now will be cut by 50 per cent between July 1, 2011 and September 1, 2014.

The move to increase the threshold at which eligible pensioners can gain a stamp duty concession to $750,000 is a good move, as it will help remove a prohibitive barrier to downsizing. This, in turn, will free up homes for first home buyers and the rental market.

The commitment to help first home buying farmers will be welcomed in regional areas.

MOST Australians expect interest rates to go up again before the end of the year, according to a national survey by leading mortgage broker, Loan Market.

The Loan Market poll which asked “What will the Reserve Bank of Australia do with interest rates for the remainder of 2011?” found 67 per cent of respondents said the cash rate would go up from the present level of 4.75 per cent.

Loan Market chief operating officer, Dean Rushton, said there was an even stronger response in the 18-25 year age group, with 77 per cent expecting the RBA to take rates higher.

“Consumers are aware the RBA is looking to

increase rates to battle rising inflation at least once during the remainder of the year after leaving rates on hold for the past six months,” Rushton said.

“The RBA still needs to be cautious when considering rates because the impact on the retail sector could be severe when many families are already cautious over discretionary spending.

“Our survey shows younger people are keeping a close eye on what the RBA is planning to do as this will have a significant impact on whether they purchase property.

“We believe another rate rise will deter first home buyers, who are eager to purchase their first homes.”

Rushton said 18 per cent of the 475 respondents

thought there would be no change in rates over the rest of the year while nine per cent believed the cash rate could even come down.

JUST how well informed are today’s real estate buyers?

LJ Hooker Torquay principal, Michael Lowe, said his team attests to the fact that the majority of buyers gather more knowledge about recent sale prices and trends than ever before.

“Buyers generally have put in months of legwork before they will make a decision, albeit a lot of their research is likely to happen sitting at a computer rather than attending auctions and open homes alone,” he said.

“Many will be receiving regular market updates to their phones and computers based on their request profiles.”

LJ Hooker Torquay currently sends an average of 1,200 messages every fortnight to

its database based on buyer profiles and listed properties.

“It is a time-effective way to have the most up-to-date information about what is available,” Lowe said.

He said Gen Y buyers in particular were educated and responsive to buying at a good time.

“This age group is attuned to return on their investment, which we as sales agents, and our sellers, have to be very conscious of,” he said.

“Our LJ Hooker finance people, who are part of our team, are highly valued by Gen Y, and their input is invaluable in guiding sellers on pricing for the market.”

Adding value for the buyer


Industry infoTuesday 17 May 2011 27

AT THE beginning of a tenancy, you are required to pay a bond (usually of one month’s rent) to guarantee payment of the rent, and that the property will be looked after. This money is kept by the government agency, The Residential Tenancies Bond Authority.

At the end of your tenancy, if you have paid all your rent and the property is left in good condition when you move, the bond should be refunded in full.

However, if there is a discrepancy over the state of the property, the way it has been cleaned, gardening or any other damage, the owner can apply to make a claim on your bond.

An owner or agent can make a claim on the bond for:

• Damage caused by tenants or their visitors• Cleaning expenses• The tenant abandoning the premises• Bills that the tenant should have paid• Loss of the landlord’s goods• Unpaid rent.

Claims cannot be made for ‘fair wear and tear’, such as carpets wearing out over a long time.

If you have been asked to sign over a portion of your bond and you believe it to be unfair, the disagreement can be heard by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal’s (VCAT) Residential Tenancies List.

The sitting member will decide if the request is to be granted or not and how much of the bond will be returned.

Rental questions answered:

CAN PART OF MY BOND BEKEPT WHEN I MOVE OUT?

WHAT happens when two big names team up to sell rural property in the Geelong region?

It’s the beginning of a whole new era of rural property sales service and that’s just what has happened here in the region, with Andrew Rice heading the new Charles Stewart & Co Pty. Ltd. branch in Geelong.

Andrew Rice is synonymous with rural property sales in the Geelong region while Charles Stewart & Co Pty. Ltd. have been real estate and livestock agents based in the western district of Victoria since 1917, now with branches in Colac, Ballarat, Warrnambool, Camperdown, Coleraine and Geelong.

The team at Charles Stewart Geelong will represent a wealth of experience and provide vendors and buyers alike with a new level of service in rural property sales unprecedented in the region.

Rice, who has lived and breathed rural property all of his life, beginning his career with his late father, Pat Rice, who remains an icon in Victorian rural real estate.

With more than 26 years sales and auctioneering experience, Andrew Rice has sold rural properties throughout Victoria but for the past six years, specialising in the Geelong area.

With his unparalleled experience,

knowledge of rural property and passion for the region, Rice will help you achieve the result you want.

Charles Stewart, who founded Charles Stewart & Co Pty. Ltd. in 1917, was a well known and respected judge of livestock and real estate in the Colac region then.

Today this fourth generation family owned and operated business continues to maintain the values of honesty and professionalism for which Charles Stewart was known and respected when he commenced business and is precisely what you will find in common with the team at the new Geelong branch today.

Working alongside Rice, expect to see the familiar faces of Brian Wood, Paul Whinney, Anthony McDonald and Michael Stewart, of Charles Stewart heritage.

Brian Wood’s lifetime of experience in agribusiness, including livestock, wool, merchandise and rural finance, followed by his concentration on rural property sales has given him a knowledge-base second to few in the industry.

Wood specialises in broad acre rural property. Whinney has lived and worked in western Victoria for more than 35 years and now resides in Ocean Grove.

Whinney’s knowledge of land capability and enterprise management, coupled with his

wide network of rural contacts, ideally places him to assist clients selling or buying rural property throughout western Victoria.

The new office officially opened its doors earlier this month at 101 Yarra Street, Geelong, phone 5226 6100 for more information.

A POLL released by PRDnationwide shows about one in three people are considering delaying plans to start or grow a family as the cost of entering the property market rises.

PRDnationwide research director, Aaron Maskrey, said a significant number of couples are postponing starting families because they want to purchase their own homes first.

“The long term trend has seen prices for houses rising, however, the recent softening of values in many areas are likely to tempt many potential purchasers into homeownership as these conditions will not hold in the long term,” Maskrey said.

“It is changing important life decisions like when to start a family in such a significant way.

“According to the REIA latest Housing Affordability Report, it now costs an average Australian family approximately 35.3 per cent of their income to service the home loan. This is up from 34.8 per cent in September 2010, but still down from the previous year by 4.6 per cent.”

The PRDnationwide survey of 2,000 Australians found 34 per cent of respondents were considering delaying having children as house prices increase.

“Many couples aspire to own their own home before starting a family and factor in the loss of earnings that starting a family necessitates,” he said.

“While it is responsible to ensure that you can afford to support a new baby – the truth seems every generation has had not dissimilar problems.”

More than half (55 per cent) of respondents would not let the state of the property market deter them from having children.

Maskrey said the remaining ten per cent of respondents said the research was not applicable to their situation.

“People are choosing to put a hold on growing their family because they don’t own a house and the challenge faced by renting can be a headache people do not want. Rental prices are likely to go up sooner as competition for rental properties increase,” he said.

The research director said the cost of having and raising a child is also rising.

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


The award-winning builder currently has separate great value bonus offers applicable on all new homes within both its Aspirations and Generations Series ranges, which add to the attraction for prospective home owners and astute investors alike.

In addition to a really low price, buyers of any home within the Aspirations Series until the end of June will receive 50 per cent off their choice of luxury upgrades up to the value of $20,000.

“Many of the buyers in our Aspirations Series range are entering the housing market for the first time. This special bonus helps customers add their own personal touch and tastes to their new home,” said Dennis Family Homes general manager, Richard Uden.

Meanwhile, Dennis Family Homes is continuing its special offer of free carpets

and tiles for all designs within its popular Generations Series for a limited time only.

“Over recent months our existing offer of free carpets and tiles on all our homes has been very positively received by customers,” Udon said.

“So much so that we’ve decided to extend the bonus incentive, but it is now applicable solely to homes in the Generations Series during this continuing period.

“Our Generations Series features a wide range of functional designs which tend to suit the requirements of second and subsequent home buyers.”

Uden said the Dennis Family Homes bonus offers have been tailored with transparency, simplicity and value in mind.

“In a market which can often be crowded with deals on extras which are either confusing or don’t live up to the initial

expectations, we have designed our current offers to be easily understandable and at the same time represent great value for buyers,” he said.

“Choose a home in our Aspirations Series and get 50 per cent off upgrades to the value of $20,000 during May and June, or opt for a home in our Generations Series and receive free carpets and tiles. Either way, our customers enjoy the direct benefits.”

WINE | FOOD | GIGS | ARTSEAOcean and Mel Alistair and Kim Rob and Carolyn

BY NATHAN HALE

FANS of Portarlington’s National Celtic Festival will be well aware of the name Siobhan Owen.

The Adelaide teenager has already made two appearances at the June festival, and is set to make that three when this year’s event takes place over the weekend of June 10-13.

A firm favourite with the huge crowds that pack Portarlington over the weekend, 17-year-old Owen is a classic singer and harpist.

Born in Angelsey, North Wales, Owen moved with her family to Australia when she was just two.

By primary school she was singing in the choir and not long after she was having private lessons, honing her angelic voice.

“I was just humming along in the back of the car one day and mum heard me and thought that my voice sounded okay,” Owen recalled.

“So from there I joined the choir – that was when I was about seven or eight – and I have been singing ever since.”

Despite having performed for many years, Owen admits she is still not that confident in the limelight.

Since adding the harp to her repertoire, however, she admits she has become more comfortable on stage.

“I have been playing the harp for about the last three years now and I find it really calms me down when I am on stage,” Owen said.

“It is like having another person on stage with me.”

Making her first appearance at Queenscliff as a 15-year-old, Owen wowed crowds with her amazing voice has been on the festival’s ‘must-have’ list ever since.

Currently in the first year of a Music Education degree, Owen admits it can be tough to juggle musical appearances with school work, but she is enjoying every minute of it.

Apart from Queenscliff, Owen has attended the National Folk Festival in Canberra and the Australian Celtic Festival in Glen Innes, New South Wales.

“Queenscliff is one of my favourite

festivals,” Owen admitted.“It’s a great place to play and I enjoy coming

back.”Despite her obvious talent and the opportunities

ahead of her on stage, Owen is – at present – favouring sharing her abilities with others.

“I’d really like to teach music in secondary school and still do some performing on the side,” Owen said.

Bordeaux NouveauTHE AMOUNT of quality, (and more importantly) affordable imported wines hitting our shores is really quite amazing at the moment.

Obviously with the dollar so strong there’s many making the most of the favourable conditions and digging up some gems from well known regions like Bordeaux in France which seems to be especially popular at the moment with many wholesalers picking up some great buys.

The 2009 vintage over there was a cracker to say the least – across all price points from the entry level wines through to the mighty ‘First Growth’ wines that sell at stratospheric prices.

This is old-world winemaking, so think less pronounced fruit, more savoury earth and mineral flavours with medium body and dryer finishes than what we’re used to. That’s not to say there’s is better or worse, or ours for that matter, just different and should be approached with this in mind.

The three wines featured below are a pretty good representation of the style of ‘nouveau’ (new) wines becoming available at present. Why not take a step back in time to the ‘old world’ for a change?

Chateau Corbin A.O.C. Montagne Saint Emilion 2006 ($45)One of the oldest properties from the Montagne-Saint-Emilion region in Bordeaux renowned for its consistently rich, and powerful red wines. This is an intense blend of 80 per cent Merlot to give a round, generous base feel; 10 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon to add structure, and 10 per cent Cabernet Franc to give suppleness, aromatics and elegance. Deep, dark, tempered mulberry, cherry and blackberry fruits lead the way with a whisk of oak in support and lovely tannins holding the wine together to give a lovely suppleness on the dry finish. Yum.

Chateau Le Tros Bordeaux Sauvignon 2009 ($28)A small, family owned operation from the Entre-deux-Mers region in Bordeaux that creates amazing value-packed, appealing and aromatic wines with plenty of character and feel. Terrifically light and dry with a mineral slant, lovely mid palate richness and good length on the finish, this is predominantly Sauvignon with about 20 per cent Semillon blended in. Poles apart from any new world wine of similar blending and style… really good.

Chateau Le Tros Bordeaux Rosé 2009 ($28)Rosé in general has gained so much more deserved recognition over the last few years here in Australia and it’s worthwhile every now and then to try the ‘old world’ examples from France, Italy and Spain. They have a different take on it in Europe (naturally) with much more savoury, earthier, and dryer styles predominating. Lighter, aromatic, restrained and complex styles that make for delicious aperitif drinking or even better with the right foods... fantastic.

Something refreshing...Something tasty... Something stunning...

STUDENTS from Bellarine Secondary College are being given an opportunity to literally take over the Drama Theatre at Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC), as part of an innovative annual educational programme.

Bellarine is one of several regional secondary colleges participating in the activity known as Take Over, which is part of GPAC’s Bendigo Community Banks Education Programme.

The school’s VCE students have been participating in a series of technical and creative workshops and rehearsals, culminating in live performances on GPAC’s Drama Theatre stage on Wednesday May 25 at 7.30pm. Take Over participants learn about all areas of theatre production including performance, sound, lighting and stage management. They work with professional actors and theatre technicians to develop, produce, rehearse and perform their own piece of theatre.

“It is fantastic to see the increasing number of local students getting involved in the programme,” said GPAC general manager, Jill Smith.

“It gives students an opportunity to experience all facets in the development of theatre, not just the performance side of it.”

This year’s programme is bigger and better than ever, with more students from a wider range of schools than ever before.

Smith said it was encouraging to see strong interest in the programme, particularly in light of growing research showing a direct link between arts education and improved grades, as well as personal and community benefits.

“Involvement in the arts at school and through programmes such as Take Over clearly gives students a range of academic, social and personal development benefits,” she said.

“We see it first-hand in terms of the growth in confidence of students involved in our educational programmes.”

The Take Over Senior School programme, for students in years 9-12, began with a Wise Up day in February to build awareness of skills required in theatre production.

Students then participated in Skill Up sessions in March where they received expert advice, including an acting workshop led by Victorian College of Arts graduates, Zoe Boesen, and Marcus Mckenzie.

Students have also gained hands-on experience with how theatre is made working with technical crew on sound, lighting design, equipment use and stage management.

Tickets for Take Over performances are $6.50 each, and are available at the GPAC Box Office, phone 5225 1200 or visit www.gpac.org.au

Belleville IT ALL SOUNDS GREEK TO ME

WE ARE spoilt with choice aren’t we? We have readily available to us all manner or ingredients from all parts of the globe, and a range of eateries offering cuisines from all cultures.

But somehow I don’t hear much from the Greek corner? Now as the days become a little shorter, and we all peek out from our cosy houses to the colourful leaves, making provision to hibernate for a while.

I’m looking forward already to cooking all my yummy winter favorite dishes – rabbit, and beouf bourguignon, and more curries. But in the meantime, some transition food? Aah! Greek food will fit the bill perfectly for now. We have some chilly nights to endure and the perfect route to wean us off the salads of summer is via the Greeks.

You see, they have perfected the art of grazing, and there are so many wonderful comfort food dishes in the Greek repertoire.

Skordalia sometimes pops up on menus and you can show off a bit to your fellow diners if you are the one who is able to explain that this is a Greek version of the French garlicky mayonnaise, aïoli.

Skordalia

INGREDIENTS

2 cloves of garlic

2 egg yolks

Olive oil

Almonds

Breadcrumbs

Lemon juice

Parsley

METHOD

Pound the garlic in a mortar, then add the egg yolks,

some olive oil – drop by drop – and ground almonds,

fresh breadcrumbs, lemon juice and parsley.

Blend all into a mayo consistency and you’re done,

simple as that!. This is delicious with grilled lamb

cutlets.

So, what about another Greek favourite, spanakopita.

This is but one of the many pites – the Aussie

equivalent would be a pie I suppose – delicious

fillings in the fine-leaved filo pastry that should be a

staple in your fridge. Filo is so versatile, and to make

spanakopita you’ll need:

Spanakopita

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespns extra virgin olive oil

1 bunch spinach, thoroughly washed to remove all grit

4 spring onions

200gm feta

200 gm ricotta

METHOD

Heat a frypan and add the olive oil.

Wilt the roughly chopped spinach and chopped onions until just soft. Add the lightly beaten

eggs and crumbled cheese – mixed together.

Remove pan from heat. Season with freshly ground black pepper – no salt as the feta will be

sufficiently ‘salty’.

Use a deep sided oven-proof dish, brush the sides of the dish with the oil. Brush the sheets

of filo with melted butter (or for a healthier version, use olive oil) stacking one layer of filo on

top of the other.

Lay ‘filo stack’ into the dish and fill with the spinach mixture, folding the top of the pastry over.

Brush again with butter or olive oil and bake in a pre-heated (180 degrees Celsius) oven for

20-25 minutes until pastry is golden and crisp.

The Greeks are brilliant with sweet things also, such as baklava which also uses filo pastry –

but I would like to suggest to you that a lemon and yoghurt cake served with some mandarin

or orange segments in honey syrup, with a generous dollop of Greek yoghurt, it makes a

stunning dessert!

The Full Moon takes your fiery intensity up a notch (or two) but pace yourself, otherwise you risk Aries burn-out – which is not a pretty sight! It’s time to lay down arms and build bridges with loved ones. Lucky Venus moves into your money zone so financial dealings are favored and the more proactive you are, the more your bank balance will grow.

Taureans are fabulous flirters and this week, with the Full Moon in your relationship zone (plus four planets in your sign) it’s time to give those charisma muscles a workout as you radiate your sensual charms far and wide. Do you want more love and success in your life? Flutter those eyelashes (or flex those Bullish biceps) and you shall receive!

Twins are feeling super creative, as you tap into your unconscious mind, pluck ideas from your imagination, and discuss them with like-minded souls. The Full Moon highlights health issues so make sure you’re up-to-date with medical checks. Geminis love to gossip but if you are told something in confidence, have the sense to keep your mouth shut.

If things get fiery and over-emotional with a child, teenager or friend, try seeing the situation from their point of view. With deeper insight, you’ll discover the path to a comfortable compromise. Wednesday through to Sunday is the time to shake up your usual routine. Do things differently, as you banish boredom and initiate positive changes.

It’s not the best week to host a family reunion or bring up sensitive childhood issues. The Full Moon falls in your home zone so be on domestic drama alert. Confiscate all sharp implements and choose your words wisely, as loved ones are liable to make mountains out of molehills. Creativity is high on Sunday but don’t confuse fact with fiction.

Villa Virgo is usually a place where efficiency reigns, routine is revered, and surprises are unwelcome. This week you’ll find that life’s complicated, relationships are unpredictable, and the rules are constantly changing. The weekend is the perfect time to study a subject that has always intrigued you. Singles – love and travel are linked.

Have you been shopping up a storm when you should be saving or paying off debt? If the answer is ‘yes’, then there could be some dramas this week, as the Full Moon fires up your finance sector. Passion is high on the weekend, as Venus and Pluto make beautiful music together in your intimacy zone. Time to snuggle up close with someone special!

The Scorpio Full Moon increases your magnetism – and your tendency to obsessive behavior. Are you being unreasonably stubborn about a situation? Keep in mind the quote from Edward de Bono (born on May 19) “If you never change your mind, why have one?” The weekend favors creative communication and passionate partnerships.

A Full Moon doesn’t usually throw you! You love the rush of energy it brings so use it to shine a spotlight on your hidden strengths and secret dreams for the future. You could hear some startling news that makes your ears burn but think twice before you pass it on. On the weekend, avoid taking on more commitments that you can realistically handle.

Clever Capricorns - this week you’ll be given the opportunity to creatively turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse (which is one of your specialties). Don’t underestimate your professional talents or limit your long-term dreams. Your motto for the week is from birthday great Liberace “Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself.”

Your unpredictable ways will be very predictable this week (especially at work) as the Full Moon boosts your temperamental tendencies. Rebellious? Eccentric? Contrary? Pushing everyone’s buttons for your own personal amusement? A big yes to all the above! The best way to get out of a money mess is to stop buying things you don’t need.

Communication is the buzzword this week. Perhaps you have to speak in front of a group or your creative efforts find an appreciative audience? Soak up the spotlight Pisces! With the Full Moon activating your adventure zone, it’s also time to channel the intrepid explorer within as you plan a weekend escape or overseas getaway for some time soon.

Rebecca works to help othersBY GAIL CHRISFIELD

TORQUAY’S Rebecca Scott is well aware her family has been severely hit by tragedy.

In the past four years the mother of three has lost her mum and her father-in-law to brain cancer – but she hasn’t let those losses stand in the way of her helping others.

“My mother passed away four years ago, just 12 days after the birth of my first child, while my father-in-law died from exactly the same cancer last year,” Rebecca explained.

“The odds of that happening are around one to

two in 100,000… it’s pretty rare.“Brain cancer is a nasty disease with a lousy

survival rate. It can strike at any age and is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths among young Australians under the age of 40.

“Most people aren’t aware of this because, until recently, it hasn’t had much publicity. “That is, however, starting to change due to Cold Chisel drummer Steve Prestwich, TV doctor Chris O’Brien and Carrie Bickmore’s husband all sadly succumbing to this horrible cancer.”

Despite having three children under five, Rebecca is busy doing her bit to raise awareness

and funds towards brain cancer research through her involvement in the Dine for a Cure Gala Dinner in Melbourne on May 27.

This month is Brain Cancer Awareness Month, which is also helping to spread the message.

“All of us on the gala dinner voluntary organising committee have been personally affected by brain cancer.

“Our aim is to raise as much money as we can to support The Cure For Life Foundation, which is Australia’s largest brain cancer research foundation, set up by world-renowned neurosurgeon Charlie Teo to help find a cure for this terrible condition.”

Hosted by Libbi Gorr, the Dine for a Cure dinner promises fabulous food, wine and entertainment with the likes of Joe Camilleri, Russell Morris, Wendy Stapleton and Wilbur Wilde performing.

The silent auction should also prove popular with a range of quality goods on offer, including a special Torquay pack. This features a Rip Curl surfboard signed by Mick Fanning and other treats donated by Rixons Hairdressing, Saltair Spa and Peppers at The Sands.

“I am so grateful to the local businesses that have generously supported the event by donating goods for the auction. I really can’t thank them enough,” Rebecca said.

For more information, to make a donation or to book a ticket to the dinner, visit www.dineforacure.org.au

Rebecca Scott wishes for a world for Xavier and Zara where brain cancer is not a death sentence.

A NEW comprehensive support programme for young people living with the diagnosis of a parent with cancer, or who are dealing with the loss of a parent to cancer, will be launched in Brisbane today.

A first of its kind in Australia, the CanTeen Offspring Support Programme has been developed to provide a range of support services for these young people aged 12 to 24 years.

Over the next three years the programme will provide support to thousands of youths through the provision of a multi-faceted programme, such as specialised counselling service (face-to-face, telephone and online/email counselling), information resource/books and practical skills development, respite, recreation and peer support for young people struggling to cope with their parent's cancer.

THE COMMUNITY of Moriac has welcomed the arrival of the town’s new medical centre.

Opened just 10 days ago at a gala ceremony, the centre will provide the community of Moriac with more convenient access to medical services.

Local residents joined representatives from Hesse Rural Health, Anglesea and Winchelsea Community Bank branches and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank – including the bank’s managing director, Mike Hirst – for the official celebrations.

“In the past, local residents have been forced to travel to Geelong or Torquay to access basic medical services, such as general practitioners and community health nurses,” said Hesse Rural Health chief executive officer, Peter Birkett.

“The new facility will introduce the services of a doctor, community health nurse and other allied health professionals to Moriac, which will make life easier and hopefully healthier for local residents.”

Anglesea and Winchelsea Community Bank

branches’ senior manager, Jeremy Morris, said Corangamite Financial Services, the company which owns and operates the Community Bank branches, had partnered with Hesse Rural Health, to provide funding for the project.

“Our Community Bank company has a strong relationship with Hesse Rural Health and understands how important access to health services is to regional and rural communities, such as Moriac,” he said.

“To assist in delivering medical services to Moriac, our company purchased a suitable building site and funded the construction of a new community health centre. The facility has since been leased back to Hesse Rural Health, which operates a range of local health services from the site.

“Income from this venture will add to our Community Bank company’s balance sheet and will help us return even more of our profits to community groups and projects in the region.”

Medical centre boosts Moriac

Doing the honours at the opening were Mike Hirst, Peter Birkett and Corangamite Financial Services chair, John Tebbutt.

VICTORIA Walks is calling on all workplaces throughout the state to take a break and Walk the Block today.

Workplaces across Victoria are encouraged to step away from their desks and onto their feet in order to combat workplace physical inactivity.

“All we ask is that workplaces take 15 minutes out of their day to walk the block,” said Victoria Walks executive officer, Dr Ben Rossiter.

“The aim is to show Victoria’s workforce how easy it is to incorporate walking into their daily routine.”

Recent studies show a direct link between prolonged periods of sitting and increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, even for people who are generally healthy.

Dr Rossiter said the sedentary behavior that is common in many workplaces is concerning. “Many of us spend around a third or more of our day at work. This often involves sitting at a desk or in a relatively confined space for hours on end. This is not good for us, our families or employers,” he said.

“Recent WorkHealth Checks showed that 70 per cent of Victorian workers do not get the minimum required daily physical activity.

“That means 7 in every 10 workers do less than 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day.”

Walk the Block aims to show Victoria’s workforce how easily walking can be incorporated into their working culture.

Employers are encouraged to join in the day, as it is estimated that workplace physical activity can reduce sick leave by up to 32 per cent and increase productivity by up to 52 per cent.

Dr Deborah Sykes ORTHODONTIST

For that perfect smileWE ALL know the basics about braces for children – but what about corrections for adults? But dowe really know all the benefits that braces can provide?

To help unravel any misconceptions about adult treatments, Dr Deborah Sykes from Surf Coast Orthodontics answers some commonly asked questions.

If you are thinking of having orthodontic treatment as an adult, you may have some questions you would like answered first.

Why might I need orthodontic treatment?• To improve the appearance of the teeth and face. Perhaps your teeth have become more crowded with age or have started to drift following gum disease• To move teeth prior to crown or bridgework• To improve the health of the teeth and gums• To improve function – that is, to make it easier

to eat.

Is it always possible to have braces as an adult? • Age is not necessarily a limiting factor. It more

often depends on the type of bite you have, the

position of your teeth and the condition of both your teeth and gums. For instance, if you have gum disease, it is important this is treated before having braces.

What type of braces are there?• There are different types of braces suitable for

adults, such as:• Clear brackets (ceramic) on the upper front teeth• Clear templates may also be used in specific cases

and are not very noticeable at all.

How long will treatment take?• It usually takes 12-24 months but will vary

according to how complex your case is.

Is it painful?• Having the braces fitted is not painful. However,

it is common to have slightly tender teeth for three-five days after the fitting and after each adjustment.

How often will I need an appointment?• Once your braces have been fitted, you will need

regular appointments for them to be adjusted, about every four to eight weeks.

Will I still need to see my dentist regularly?Yes. It will be important you still have six-monthly check-ups with your dentist regularly during orthodontic treatment. This is so that your teeth can be checked for decay and gums examined for signs of disease.

Will I need to wear retainers once my braces are finished?Once the active phase of your treatment has been finished, it will be necessary to have a period of retention. The options available depend on your needs, but include;• A retainer plate on the upper teeth • A fixed wire behind your lower teeth • Clear templates as seen below.

There are several options to be discussed depending on your needs, and Dr Deborah Sykes can advise you of this. Phone 5331 9489 for more information.

LOCAL residents are being encouraged to get into shape and help support a worthwhile cause by taking part in this weekend’s Pushups for Charity event.

Organised by Geelong’s Dale Ringin, the event is a fun way to get fit and make a difference by supporting Make-A-Wish Australia, an organisation whose mission is to grant wishes to sick children.

Saturday’s event is the brainchild of Ringin, who operates Peak Fitness Challenge.

“Our goal is two-fold,” said Ringin.“We want to support Make-A-Wish by raising

as much money as possible to help the children, and we want to engage our local community in a fun way to get fit.

“The community is really rising to the challenge – there is a lot of interest in Pushups for Charity. I think that says a lot about our community’s interest in helping the children, and is a reflection of how much people appreciate the importance of being healthy.”

Ringin said pushups are one of the foundational exercises for overall body strength and lean muscle development.

“Lean muscle increases metabolic activity so the body burns more calories. Additionally, pushups are a simple exercise anyone can do almost anywhere,” he said.

“Pushups are a gateway exercise… people feel results quickly, sometimes within days, and that inspires them to do more exercise.”

Ringin is encouraging as many people as possible to take part, but also said donations will be gladly accepted.

Pushups for Charity participants and donors receive a free home fitness programme.

There will also be a signed 2011 Geelong Football Club jumper auctioned off on the day to help boost the fundraising effort.

Full information is available at www.pushupsforcharitygeelong.net.au

Help the kids

There are a range of braces, template and retainers that can be fitted for adult treatments.

Time to service your gas heater?WITH the weather turning colder by the day as winter rapidly approaches, now is the perfect time to book your heating system in for its annual service.

Northwest Heating and Cooling has more than 25 years experience in servicing all types of heating and cooling systems.

According to owner Mark Tierney, all homeowners should heed the message behind the current advertising campaign highlighting the risks associated with badly maintained ducted gas heaters.

“If you have a ducted gas heating system in your house, I’d strongly recommend booking it in for a service now before winter really bites. That way, you’ll ensure your family’s safety and comfort throughout the coldest months,” Tierney said.

“As Geelong’s number one heating and cooling company,

we offer a total service from advising and quoting on the range of systems available through to installation and after-sales service.

“Many of our customers are Surf Coast and Bellarine residents, which means we are in the area at least several times a week either quoting or undertaking jobs.

“Whether you’re looking to buy a system for a new home, or to service or replace an existing one, we can meet your needs.”

Northwest Heating and Cooling offers quality products, expert advice and professional workmanship at reasonable prices.

“We also pride ourselves on our personalised customer service and are happy for our customers to call us for free advice and support about their heating and cooling needs,”

To arrange a quote or book a service, phone 5277 1111.

Fox control – Breamlea and Karaaf Wetlands Flora and Fauna Reserve Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of our parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 9 May 2011 until the Thursday 9 June 2011 at Breamlea and Karaaf Flora and Fauna Reserves.

Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Connewarre.

1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parish are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas. The public is reminded that dogs must be kept on leads near the Breamlea and Karaaf Flora and Fauna Reserve.

Operational details may be obtained by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

FROM THE

KENYAN runners dominated the podium after the Great Ocean Road International Marathon on Sunday.

Kenyan James Kipkelwon smashed the course record during his 45.2km run, from Lorne to Apollo Bay.

Kipkelwon, 32, clocked in at two hours, 27 minutes and 42 seconds on the twisting, hilly trek to

break Mark Tucker’s 2010 milestone by more than two minutes.

Kenyans snared the first three places after setting a cracking early pace in overcast, near-perfect marathon-running conditions.

Daniel Mwelu finished second in 2:31:01, with 2009 winner Charles Muturi 45 seconds behind.

Best-placed Australian in the Great Ocean Road

Real Estate-sponsored event was Melbourne’s Magnus Michelsson who battled into fourth place in 2:40:06 after suffering a hamstring strain at the half-way mark.

Geelong’s Natalie Mensch, wife of former Geelong footballer David Mensch, won the women’s section in 3:20:17.

Kipkelwon, from a family of nine, hails from the

village of Nyahururu, 200kms north of Nairobi.“This is my biggest victory and I am very much

happy,” he said. “I was in fear of the course because it is very hard

and is also 45kms. But it is also very beautiful.”The festival, backed by Tourism Victoria, attracted

more than 3500 contestants from 15 countries

Sydney Olympics silver medalist Sonia Sullivan, makes her way to Apollo Bay.

sport Tuesday 17 May 2011 95

IT WAS a mixed bag again, weather wise, this week. Games continued, however some chose to stay warm and dry rather than risk it. Those that did venture out managed to play well enough.

On Tuesday the men kicked off the week with a par round and Len Elder took honours with 6 up. Other grade winners were Ian Fraser 3, Barry Ruler 5 and Dick Trezise 3.

Wednesday ladies, a stroke round played in ‘iffy’ conditions, saw Jill Barker win the day with 73 net, plus the monthly medal. B Grade went to Dorothy Emerson, 75. Helen Powe won the putting event with 30 and Ange Foott took best gross, ProPin, and A grade, and Val Trezise B grade.

Thursday mixed in very ordinary weather still had some brave players set off. It came down to a c/b between Stan Hollingsworth and Jim Fisher 42 each, with Stan the victor. The 11 hole winner was Graeme Dryden, 38.

Friday, in probably one of the worst days of the week, saw Bob Thomson 39 and Barbie Schwarz 32.

Saturday with the weather really setting in tested even the bravest golfers, but still scoring was of a high standard. 43 points won the top trophy scored by Mark Anderson. B grade winner was Jason Barker on 40.

David Bourke survived a c/b with Ritchie Howell, 40 and Colin Doyle took D Grade with 41.

The ladies mostly decided to read a book, but of those that did venture out Kerry Bond, Midlands member, managed 34, with Gweneth Barnett second, 29, returning after some weeks on the sick list, welcome back Diz.

Judy Said made her game worthwhile by taking the NTP and the Pro Pin. Sunday, probably the pick of the week, saw Adam Hill at the top with 37.

This week, results are at a minimum because Matt the Master has an absolute gem for us. Many of us struggle to keep focus the entire round. Read this and understand why and how to overcome.

The mental approachMany times have I heard from my members “why do I stuff up the last 4 holes” or “why do I hit it in the water on the 17th”. These common problems don’t just affect high handicap golfers but also the low marker, even the professionals. The mind’s a very powerful tool, used correctly we can overcome these problems. When playing a good round it is inevitable that someone in the group will mention “gee you are playing good today” and the player’s response is usually “it won’t last long until I stuff it up”. If you are guilty of this you are telling

your self that you will stuff up soon. This negative talk can influence your game and eventually it will occur.

When we are playing a career best round and we get to the last six holes our mind starts to think about the end result and what score we could have rather than taking it one shot at a time (I have been guilty of this). Invariably when we get to these last holes we will start to play ‘safe’ and try to protect our score, trying not to make any mistakes rather than playing aggressively and trying to make pars and birdies like we were at the start of the round.

Hitting a shot over water can bring down a great score for some golfers. If you are guilty of changing to an old ball for this shot you are subconsciously telling yourself you are going in the water - most of the time you do just that. You then proceed to reload but this time you carry the water easily. Reason: You have already hit one in the water so you have no expectations and you just swing (always easier the second time!)

My advice is to always stay in the moment, the old cliché ‘one shot at a time’. Let the mind be clear and visualise the shot you want to play rather than the one you don’t. If you play a bad shot accept it; try to minimise the damage rather than let it ruin the whole round.

Midweek resultsOn Tuesday, 65 girls played the first round of their club championships in fine conditions. Wendy Johnson off 18 scored an amazing 10 over 75, taking a one stroke lead from last year’s winner Mandy Buckley (5) with Micha Evans (12), Marilyn Clifford (10) and Wanda Paterson (24) a further 3 strokes back.

In the respective grades for the day, Wendy Johnson took out A grade with 57 nett. Wanda Paterson easily accounted for B with 55 nett: “It is the best round I have ever played and I had two gobblers as wel,” Wanda said. C grade was won by an in-form Margaret Bath with 59 nett on c/b from Sally Tourney; an amazing result considering they teamed up last week to win the 4BBB.

Ainsley McCallum and Wendy Poyner won the jackpots and the NTPs went to Sally Torney, Marilyn Clifford, Sandra Martin and Di Barker.

Wednesday saw the morning group battle the dreadful

conditions. Ian Sheldon benefited from an afternoon tee time to land the A grade competition with 41 pts on c/b from Geoffrey Grayling and a host of players on 40 including my spot prize partner Jim Cairns who played a fine round. Ian Macquire playing off 35 excelled in the morning conditions scoring a miraculous 54 pts to win B grade by 9 from Ron Sharman. Ken McCallum won the Jackpot and the NTP winners were Henry Kelly, John Richards, Rod Papworth and John Thompson. Matthew Carboon was in the action again with an Eagle on the 9th.

Weekend resultsSaturday was the 2nd Rd of Club Championships for the men and again they faced ordinary conditions with many members opting out of the competition. Scott Williams off a handicap of three has extended his outright GROSS lead to seven after a solid round of two

over par 68. I saw his classy up and down for par on the 18th after his approach shot landed on the green only to roll off to the bottom of the hill. Paul Walters (4) scored a 73 to hold onto 2nd place with Tim Sinnott and Doug Hutchison (who also scored an eagle) three shots further back in equal third. Whilst Scott is winning overall, Ryan Johnson leads B grade, Geoff Lamont C grade and Peter Dowler has hit the front in D. There are four equal leaders in Overall Nett; Colin Greelish, Graeme Riches, Ryan Johnson and Scott Williams.

In the respective grades for the day, David ‘Faz’ McPhail won A grade blasting a 60 nett, Graeme Riches cruised to a win in B grade, C grade went to Peter Ronne and Peter Smith fought hard for a victory in D grade.

Young gun Jai Whittington picked up the jackpot, the NTPs went to Ryan Johnson, Kev Leeman, Francis Myers and the Macedonian Marvel Branko Krstevski.

Great to see the pennant players hitting form with Craig Corker winning A grade with 37 points off a handicap of 2, while Michael Saba was runner-up with 33 points.

In B grade Steve Troon took the honours with 36 points, while a trip to the pro shop at the half-way point for drinks and choccies must have spurred Harvey Munday on. After scrambling for 14 points on the front nine, Harvey came home like a steam train with 21 points to finish runner-up on 35 points.

Paddy Handbury won NTP on the 5th while Wayne Mobbs, won NTP on the 7th, Gavin Sheahan on the 13th and Damien Harrington was closest on the 17th.

On Wednesday morning, the men played a par event with Charlie Sharplin winning with 2 up. Brian Fuller won NTP on the 7th while Richard Hammett won NTP on the 13th.

Women’s competitionThere were two players who were keen to play and so they headed out and played 18 holes. Well done to Marianne Bridgart and Judy Hodgkins who decided to brave the elements and had a wonderful morning’s golf.

A reminder that the Lopro challenge is being played this Saturday and tee times have been set aside for those wishing to play. Contact the pro shop to book a time.

It’s the business end of the pennant season with only two rounds remaining and once again there were mixed results from The Sands teams. The Division 2 girls played at Curlewis and went down to Queens Park four matches to one. Division 4 headed to the country with their match against 13th Beach at Colac. The girls had a good win with Thelma Dainton, obviously wanting to

see more of the course, winning her match on the 22nd hole! This team is on top of the ladder but does still have the bye to come. Division 5 had a close tussle with 13th Beach losing three matches to two.

District ChampionshipsNext week a number of players are competing in the District Championships with the first round being held at Queenscliff and the second round at The Sands on Sunday.

Who will fly the flag for The Sands this year? Will it be Tybin or Cam from our Golf Operations team or one of our pennant players?

Good luck to Ben Eccles, Barry Tippett, Dean Bernasconi, Mike Trickey, Mark Eccles and Peter Chappell.

SURF COAST FC has landed Adrian Leijer - the captain of the A League’s most successful club, Melbourne Victory - as the club’s patron.

Surf Coast FC president Joe Taylor was thrilled that Leijer had accepted the club’s invitation.

“This is a very good step for our club and we are honoured,” Taylor said.

“Obviously Adrian is a very high profile captain and player and that is a real plus for us as a club but it is really the fact that he is such a good character and good leader that makes him the person we want.”

Leijer will conduct clinics for juniors and help raise the club’s profile and sponsorship.

“I think the local kids will get a real kick out of Adrian holding a special clinic for our club, and it will really help us recruit and develop kids.”

Adrian Leijer will be at Surf Coast FC Quiz Night, at The Quay, this Saturday, from 8.30pm.

Senior Men: Surfside 4 Vs Surf Coast 2, at Shell Rd. A good result for Surfside after Surf Coast went to half time in the lead. Both teams showed great character but Surfside prevailed, this time. A well executed game that could have been anyone’s.

Senior Women: Surfside 9 Vs Bellarine Sharks 1, at Lake Reserve. Great effort by the Waves who managed to put a full side out on the park. The Waves outclassed a gallant Sharks team and created many scoring opportunities – a terrific team effort with all players contributing.

BASS yabbies are one of the most sought after baits used by people fishing along our coast.

All you need is the time and the effort to search for these yabbies as well as a good bait pump and possibly a sieve to go with it. Most local tackle stores will carry both these tools and should be able to point you in the best direction to find this type of yabby.

There is no minimum size limit for this yabby but there is a bag limit of no more than 100 at a time for recreational fishing use only. This is an important rule that needs to be adhered to if we are to continue catching this premium bait.

However some people just don’t seem to understand that these regulations are there for a reason. Recently, a Broadmeadows man has jailed for three months after being found guilty, for the second time, of running an illegal Bass yabbies bait collection and sales business.

Bach Dang Nguyen , 42, was also fined $2000, ordered to pay $3000 costs, was banned from all fishing activity for five years and had his $10,000 car forfeited along with all his fishing equipment. He was intercepted by Fisheries Victoria officers in June last year after they watched him overnight while he gathered Bass yabbies for two days at Crib Point, on Westernport Bay. He had 2201 yabbies at the time. A subsequent search of the Nguyen’s Broadmeadows home revealed Bass yabbies were being sold from the residence.

Frankston Magistrate Rodney Crisp said Nguyen was a crafty, dishonest man whose business was “persistent poaching which was raping the environment”.

He dismissed the defendant’s claim the 2201 Bass yabbies were for a camping trip.

The court heard at the time of his apprehension on June 12, the defendant was on a six month suspended sentence on similar charges after offences in the Warneet area, in 2008.

He was caught in January 2008, after an extensive investigation and when intercepted at the Warneet boat ramp he had 3823 Bass yabbies pumped from the Rutherford Inlet area over five hours.

Outside the court senior fisheries officer at Cowes, Chris Angwin, said Bass yabbies were an essential part of the food chain in Westernport which is an internationally recognised RAMSAR wetland.

Anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity is urged to call the 24-hour reporting line 13-FISH (13-3474).

A reminder, if you have a Real Catch you want to send in please forward a photograph of you and your fish to [email protected].

Include the type of fish, its weight, length, location it was caught and your name.
