SHANE MADDEN T.H.

Meet Shane Madden,

Manager of the Anglesea

and District Community

Bank.

On the desk sits a silver

cup, the trophy for the

winner of the annual match

between the Anglesea

under 10 football team and

the parents of the players.

Last year the Under 10s

lead for most of the game.

Then the parents decided to

give them a run for their

money. Kicking goals from

the backline, the parents

crept into the lead by a

point or two. When one of

the youngsters booted a

goal to snatch the lead

back, the timekeeper rang

the siren to call an end,

despite there being time

remaining to play. Shane

loves telling this story, and

with laughter spilling all

over the place we get

started on our interview. He

is presenting the cup to the

winners of the match this

afternoon as one of the club

sponsors.

Shane is the Manager of

the Community Bank

located in the Anglesea

shopping precinct. Holding a

position like that puts him

right in the middle of what

makes our community tick. He

loves his job, he loves the

people in the community and

he thinks himself very lucky

that he can work in a place

where he can hear the sound

of kookaburras while he

works.

Born in Horsham, Shane lived

there until he was eleven. He

and his sister went to the local

school while their father

managed the local branch of

Beaurepaire Tyres. Being a

manager meant that the

company moved you around,

and for Shane, that meant

that he attended thirteen

schools before the family

moved to Geelong. But

Shane‘s Dad was brought up

the hard way. He had to leave

school at eleven and drive

draught horses for a wage.

Despite having little schooling

behind him, he worked his way

up until he became a

manager. Shane thinks that

some of his Dad‘s attitudes

have rubbed off on him. He

values having a go and getting

things done through your own

effort.

Shane began his career in the

finance industry working for the

ANZ bank. At that time the

tellers still carried a gun and

went to pistol practice each

year. (Would we try to protect

our employer‘s property like

that these days?) There were

manual ledgers. Computers

appeared a few years later,

bank books (ask your Nana

kids), and no credit cards.

Shane stayed with the ANZ for

twenty-seven years working his

way up to become a Branch

Manager in Geelong. He admits

that he may have worked a

little too hard at the expense of

some balance between his

work and the other important

part of his world, his family.

After such a long time with the

one employer he needed a

change so resigned and worked

as a Home Loan Broker. When

the opportunity came to join

the Community Bank in

Anglesea he jumped at it.

Setting up a new branch

offered fresh challenges, and

the idea of a bank supported

by, and in return supporting the

community was a huge plus for

him. Continued p.5

As we celebrate the

coming of the New Year,

I‘d like to thank everyone

associated with the

Community House for

making 2011 such an

interesting, community

focussed and productive

year.

Some of the highlights

this year have included

the completion of the

Children‘s Discovery

Garden in Occasional

Care, the construction of

the Men‘s Shed, the

implementation of

recommendations from

our sustainability audit

which has included

installation of roof

insulation, internal and

external blinds and a

state of the art solar

power system. We were

successful in gaining two

Adult Community &

Further Education grants

and a Surf Coast Shire

Community Grant which

have enabled us to

develop a Facebook page,

revamp our web pages,

conduct an online survey

of business needs in

Anglesea and extend the

advertising of our

activities and courses.

In conjunction with the

Anglesea Make an

Impact program, we held

a very successful

―Connecting Community

Day‖ to celebrate a

wonderful year of events

and workshops aimed at

reducing greenhouse

gas emissions in

Anglesea and to highlight

the work, activities and

services provided by the

Community House.

Everyone who attended

had lots of fun, ate some

great local produce and

connected with their

fellow community

members.

At our AGM in October

we welcomed Simone

Armstrong to the

Committee of

Management and

farewelled long standing

member Peter Renkin.

Peter has made a

significant contribution

to the Community House

– especially in his role as

Manager of the

Riverbank Easter Market

fundraiser. Although

Peter has stepped down

from the Committee of

Management he will still

be tutoring in the

Beginners Computer

course.

The Community House

will be open Monday-

Friday during January

between 10.00am –

1.00pm from January

3rd until January 27.

Normal opening hours

will resume on Monday

January 30.

Courses will

recommence in

February, 2012. Visit our

web site at

www.anglesea.org.au to see

what new things will be on

offer in term 1.

From time to time we get

asked about the availability

of low cost or free legal

advice. We don‘t offer a

service through the

Community House but you

can seek assistance from the

following: Barwon

Community Legal Service on

1300 430 599 for free

independent legal advice; Jaz

Cornish - the principal of

Cornish Lawyers Pty Ltd

offers a free 30 minute

consultation each Monday in

the areas of family law,

intervention orders, traffic

and parking infringements.

Ring 5264 8937 for an

appointment and Wighton‘s

Lawyers offer free legal

advice at their Geelong Office

on Wednesday evenings

between 5–8pm and their

Corio office on Thursday

evenings 5–7pm. All

interviews are 15 minutes in

duration and appointments

are essential – ring 5221

Thank you to the Committee

of Management and all of

our volunteers for its and

their tireless work. On behalf

of ADCH I wish everyone in

the community a safe and

happy holiday season and a

prosperous 2012.

CONNECTING COMMUNITY DAY A.K.

The Community

House hosted a

very successful

open day and

community event

to celebrate the

completion of the

Anglesea Make an

Impact Program

and to showcase

the services,

activities, courses

and facilities as

well as the sustainability improvements to the Community

House. The aim of the Make an Impact program was to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A series of activities and

workshops were run to help people achieve this aim – the

compost revolution, the vintage fashion show, reducing power

bills seminar, pizza oven workshop, making summer

preserves and the sustainable food adventure safari visit to

local food producers.

As part of the program, the Community House was able to

install insulation in the roof, indoor and outdoor blinds and

eight solar panels with the capacity to generate 3kW of

power. We will also be installing a water tank to provide water

for flushing the toilets and watering the garden. These

initiatives show what can be achieved by retrofitting an

older building. We have seen an immediate impact with a

reduced power bill and a more comfortable indoor

environment. We no longer feel the extreme effects of

the weather – being colder or hotter inside than outside –

and we don‘t need to use the heating or cooling systems

as often. We are grateful to Alcoa and Greening Australia

for the funding made available for this project.

If you haven‘t visited the Community House recently -

drop in, have a look around and say hello. Visitors are

always welcome.

The holiday season is a time to ensure you give back to your body and mind, and take the time to recuperate. Massage could be just what your body needs for improving circulation to enhance delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells ...leaving you feeling rejuvenated and ready to launch into the new year with renewed energy.

JEAN YULE THE FOURTH QUARTER M.M.

93 year old Jean Yule, BA OAM, beloved Anglesea resident and

living national treasure considers this latter part of her life a real

gift. ―I can divide my life into four quarters: The first part of my life

was going to China, the second part the women‘s movement in

the church, the third was my involvement in international Fair

Trade through trading partners, and now this last part, this gift:

time here in my piece of heaven to write about it all.‖

Jean‘s latest book, Women in the Church: a memoir, traces two

intermingled stories: her own life story, and the emergence of

women in ministry in Australia, a slow process over the last ninety

years, and one that sadly often lagged behind the rest of the

world.

Some Australian denominations who met annually, or who

allowed their local congregations autonomy, like the

Baptists and Congregationalists, were able to keep up

with the internationally emerging female ministry

movement. But for many others it was a long and

frustrating process of struggle for women who believed

they had a calling to serve their church in leadership, a

struggle for them and their brothers who supported them.

―You know all this started with World War 2.‖ Jean

explains. ―After that, helping in the factories and fields,

women said, ‗We are not going back into the kitchen to do

the dishes.‘‖

Shane met Janine, his future wife, at school. They were married and settled into a house in Leopold that still remains home base. There they raised their two daughters Amy and Emma. Each Christmas the family holidayed at Mallacoota where the lack of a telephone, TV or newspapers were part of the attraction. His daughters still holiday there at Christmas. Shane was very happy of course when Amy married Luke. After all those years living in a household of women, he now had someone around to discuss his love of the mighty Tigers, Formula 1 racing and other male pursuits. In his spare time Shane is a bit of a handyman. He likes to pretend that he’s a “tradie” for the weekend before the collar and tie must be bolted back on to be part of the bank. He does have sufficient “tradie” skills to have helped daughter Emma build and renovate her ballet studios for the ballet school she runs. He also has several projects to complete at the family beach house at St Leonards where he often goes to get some free time for himself. Music is another experience he has begun to more fully appreciate. The first record that he purchased was Eagle Rock by Daddy Cool, a song he still plays in his car as he drives to work. However, attending a concert of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was an inspiration. The thrill of the big sound of a live orchestra has got him to see more concerts and, as with most things in life, there is much to learn.

Shane regards himself as very fortunate. He loves his job, has a wonderful family, is a grandfather for the first time, lives on the Bellarine Peninsula, which is his idea of heaven, and works on the Great Ocean Road (Heaven’s Backyard), in a community that continues to surprise him with its achievements and self-containment. He plans to keep trying to build the bank and to establish

it as an integral part of our community. Terrence Hoffman

BIG CHANGES AT ANGLESEA BOWLING CLUB

plus Liquor

After the long winter months

of hammering, nailing,

painting, plumbing, electrical

work, plus the installation of

the long awaited dishwashing

machine, stoves and other

equipment, the Bowls Club

kitchen is now rated as a

commercial kitchen.

Of course, when this work was

completed, the members

realised that the rest of the

clubhouse needed a little

updating. So more painting,

new carpet in the clubrooms

and ladies lounge, then more

painting and the addition of

new furniture, we are ready to

show it off!

Members and guests have

been enjoying the new

upgraded facilities and are

looking forward to working,

partying and good meals in the

future.

In our renovated state, we

have already played host to a

Seniors Week Dinner, the

Music Festival, the Cancer

Council luncheon, the

Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour,

as well as a number of

Bowling Club events.

We are pleased to announce

the club has a licensed Chef to

run the kitchen at the club.

The chef‘s aim is to provide

budget meals that will cater

for all ages. The dining room

will be open to club members

along with residents and

visitors to our town, on Friday,

Saturday and Sundays during

December 2011 and every

night except Thursday, during

January 2012. February,

March and April times will be

advertised later.

With the completion of the

Men‘s Shed on our site, the

Bowling Club now has an

increased shade area,

additional toilets, a new

machinery shed and bowls

store.

After all of this work the club

has settled down to competing

KISS ME TOO — Mark Iversen and Sara Scally T.H.

―Jump Up And Kiss Me‖

was a hair salon run by Mark

Iversen in Melbourne. After he

moved to Aireys Inlet, he called

his new hair salon Kiss Me Too.

With all that love in the air, it is

surprising to find out how tough

it was for Mark, and Sara Scally,

his partner, to get their salon

and shop started in amongst the

river shops at Aireys Inlet.

Things began well when Mark‘s cousin asked him to come

to Lorne to help him out over summer, styling hair in his

salon there. Mark liked the idea of going to work in a resort

town with all that gorgeous scenery and the summer crowds

and holiday vibe. He loved the ducks on the Erskine River

that he fed each day while sitting on the bank opposite the

salon. Sara Scally had holidayed in Lorne as a child where

her parents had a beach house. She leapt at the chance to

join him, leaving a job she didn‘t like and loosening

Melbourne ties that had seen them both live as inner city

people. This was to be quite a change for both of them.

Then unexpectedly Mark fell seriously ill. After open-heart

surgery, and a considerable convalescence Mark and Sara

decided they loved living amongst the community on the

Great Ocean Road. Mark had made good friends in town

and had visits from Lorne friends while in hospital in

Melbourne. With Mark‘s extensive experience in teaching

hairdressing, and running a number of salons himself, it

was natural to think he would set up another one locally.

Sara had a lot of experience in retail. Her sister has a

women‘s fashion shop in Fitzroy where Sara had worked,

and she had the experience of her father‘s business while

growing up. It seemed inevitable that they would decide to

take up a lease on a vacant shop in Aireys Inlet when it

became available. Kiss Me Too was born with Mark in

charge of the salon and Sara in charge of an intriguing

women‘s fashion shop.

They began on a shoe-string budget, but necessity brings

other rewards. The grand old mirrored dressers they got for

the salon may have been affordable, but they also brought

a look and style that has become part of the place. Mixed

with Sara‘s great eye for good fashion the shop is now

a haven for stylish locals and somewhere worth a visit

for holiday-makers missing their retail fix. Clothing is

affordable and just a bit different from the rest. Labels

like Caroline Morgan, Luxx and Filo blend with the retro

swimsuits of Esther Williams. Yes, film buffs, remember

Esther Williams the actress/swimmer who was a movie

star in the 1940‘s? Well her son has produced a range

of copies of her swim suits that Sara has sourced from

the USA. They are so retro but oh so elegant. Then

there is the jewellery and things made from recycled

materials all with a sense of style. The beach rug, made

from recycled PET bottles with a beachy green and

white design, looks destined for a lucky someone‘s

Christmas stocking.

Mark‘s hairdressing salon has built a loyal clientele

around his cutting skills combined with an amiable ability

to listen to what the client wants. He says that hair dressing

is all about developing good communication through

listening and getting it right first time. Mark knows how

important a good hair style is to the confidence and

feelings of many people.

When they decided to get married here, their reception was

held at the Fairhaven Lifesaving Club where five dolphins

swam by to help their celebrations, accompanied by a

romantic red moon. It seems that the love that was in the

air returned for them.

Mark and Sara may once have described themselves as

unlikely people to want to leave the charms of big city

living, but nowadays they are firmly planted here with a

house in Anglesea and their business in Aireys Inlet.

Between them they have four children, mostly grown up

and independent. There is still one living at home with

them who runs a one person gardening business. Their life

is now centred firmly on the coast. They drive to work each

day along the beach watching the waves and the weather

and later return to Anglesea along the back road through

the bush. As they tell it, they feel like millionaires living in

paradise.

MEN’S SHED S.C.

Our building is now erected. It is behind the Bowls Club. The

storm water has been connected, the sewer line is in and the

interior walls are up. Electricals and the kitchen will follow soon

as will the beautification of the surrounds. A 23,000lt water

tank will service the toilets. There is still much work to be done

by the members. The functional kitchen in our meeting room will

allow men to hone or learn cooking skills. We thank our sponsors, Anglesea & District Community House, Alcoa, the

Anglesea & District Community Bank, Surf Coast Shire, Seaside

Seconds and the Anglesea Bowls Club. Our sincere thanks also

to Mitch Klacar who runs the Anglesea tip, for his assistance

with recycled materials. It‘s great to deal with someone who

loves his job, is friendly and only too ready to help. ―Mitch, we

love your work.‖

The men‘s shed participated in the riverside market for the

Lions Emirates Melbourne Cup day. Even though the gas

storage tank at the Shell service station had sprung a leak we

eventually were able to get to our stall at 9.45am. We sold

Christmas trees, possum pullers (oven rack item to save burnt hands), lucky glittering horseshoes and cold drinks. We took

orders for our rocking horses, at $100 each. With the help of

many members, we had a very successful day.

Earlier in the month, we toured the Alcoa power station and mine. We were amazed at the size of the site and particularly at

the revegetation and the returning of the mined area back to its

natural habitat. We visited the control room, seeing how the

atmospheric monitors worked towards maintaining clean air.

We met and chatted with power station staff over morning tea.

Our thanks go to Alcoa for their generous support of the men‘s

shed with manpower, equipment and materials.

If you are interested in the men‘s shed, come along and try it.

You don‘t have to join. Come and see what we do. You don‘t need skills, just a desire to be part of the fastest growing social

network in the country. We currently have 31 members. We

meet on Tuesday 9.30-12.00 and Thursdays 9.30-2.30pm. We

will still meet at the YMCA camp until we finish the shed. We

have a good time enjoying each other‘s company. The joining

fee is $25 and an annual fee of $30. Further information

contact Simon Clark Ph 5263 1812.

AIREYS INLET FOOD STORE T.H.

A newly opened food store and café in Aireys Inlet aims to

change some of our shopping habits and to get affordable

organic food onto our tables. Providing fruit and vegetables

along with all sorts of deli items and bulk products that you

can bring your own containers to collect (olive oil, pulses,

grains, sugar and flour), the food store will give local people

a food supply without needing to leave town. The café side of

the business supplies breakfast and lunch as well as ready-

made meals to take home. The next door ice cream shop

sells full product ice cream, not mixtures of powders and

other concoctions of chemists. (What are emulsifiers

anyway?)

A partnership between Dean and Stephanie Lewis and

Catherine Lohan, allowed them to enjoy a change of lifestyle

while supporting themselves, and to bring a taste of their

own experiences of living in other parts of the world to Aireys

Inlet. Dean and Stephanie have a new family as well as a

new business. With Luca 2 and Quincy nearly 1, they initially

decided to move from Fitzroy to their beach house at

Fairhaven while they looked for land to buy. A property was

soon available and they purchased a house in Aireys inlet

with 25 acres of land where Dean is currently setting up an

organic orchard. A trained horticulturist, Dean‘s business in

Melbourne re-established native landscapes for clients such

as Melbourne Water in their water catchments and wetlands,

or freeway builders where vegetation was needed to finish

the job. Employing 50 people to do the work Dean mostly

managed these large projects. He retains a management

role in the company as a director, but has shifted his focus

to the new business. This is a big change, and a lot of hard

work lies ahead.

Stephanie, before starting a family, was a nurse who

specialised in emergency care nursing. She saw an

opportunity to set up a business, supplying nurses to the

health care industry. Her Nursing Agency recruited and

placed nurses where they were needed around Australia.

Catherine worked with Stephanie, which is where their

friendship began, developing into a partnership with the

Foodstore.

Stephanie believes that good food should be widely

available. When holidaying in California, she was impressed

by the fair prices and wide availability of organic food. Her

vision for the Aireys Inlet food store is to sell food that is

sustainable and traceable and able to be sourced as

locally as possible. Many of us are not comfortable with

large companies sourcing food from remote locations. Do

we need to eat fish farmed in South East Asia when we

have a local supply of fish? Or do we need to buy food

imported long distances from poor communities elsewhere

when we have local farmers producing the same fresh

products for us? Stephanie aims to sell good food at a fair

price and to get local people to change some of their

shopping habits, by leaving the car at home and shopping

locally.

Catherine is also a trained nurse, and worked with

Stephanie for 9 years in her Nursing Agency, cementing

their friendship. When Stephanie sold the business,

Catherine decided to return to clinical nursing and went to

Darwin to study midwifery at Charles Darwin University.

When she completed her qualification, she worked for a

while at the Royal Darwin Hospital before the tempting

offer of a partnership in the new Food Store brought her

back from the tropics to our rather more temperate

climate. Catherine had fond memories of the Great Ocean

Road from childhood holidays spent at Lorne in her

parent‘s beach house, and later in a holiday house at

Aireys Inlet. She wanted to return and this was an

opportunity she couldn‘t pass up.

Catherine has the café side of things in hand with simple

breakfasts from 7 am comprising fresh fruit and juices with

cereals and toast. Lunch is more elaborate with freshly

made pies and warm muffins, or salads. They have a daily

take home meal that is proving popular with those wanting

a nice meal but not the work of preparing it. Regulars are

lining up for the take home meals and barbequed chicken

from mid day.

Dean is on the food store side and sells many gourmet

items such as extra virgin olive oil, gorgeous ham and

other cold meats and fresh free range Bannockburn

chickens. He will stock more hard to obtain products when

customer demand is there, so if you don‘t see it, just ask.

Stephanie helps both Catherine and Dean where needed

and also makes ice cream next door at LuLu & Mr Q

Organic Ice Creamery. Dean tells me about the

caramelised fig ice cream where the figs are simmered in

balsamic vinegar (a sweet vinegar) for several hours until

they caramelise, then added to fresh organic cream, eggs

and real ingredients such as proper vanilla and organic

sugar and churned into ice cream. Feeling peckish? There

are many more ice cream flavours available, some of them

based on fresh fruit.

Drop by for a chat over a café latte or bring your containers

to stock up the larder. This is a promising new venture that

brings good food to us rather than us having to seek it out

ten, twenty or thirty kilometres away. A great feature of the

new store is the view. The shop faces the Painkallac Creek

wetlands and is an example of how perfectly lovely our

environment is when left unchanged to be itself. Come and

see for yourself.

“You must be mad!” was the general

consensus amongst my friends sharing dinner with Eric and me the night before we set off for a 347 kilometre bike ride from Anglesea to Birchip, in the Northern Mallee. Even I had to agree. It was going to be 30 degrees the next day, with a hot northerly head wind and what looked like an all uphill path. But at least I knew why I wanted to do it. About a year ago the people of Birchip gave our son Paul $12,000 to help the Anglesea Baptist team he was planning to lead, to build houses for the poor in Peru. Now our church, Anglesea Baptist, had assembled a 14 strong team to deliver this generous gesture from a community who historically have often done it tough themselves. Birchip, in the North West corner of Victoria, is in one of the most drought prone areas of the world. The cycle trip was, I thought, a substantial gesture to acknowledge an amazing partnership between our two small country towns. I had a letter of greeting from James Lewis our pastor, and a collection of receipts to deliver to the individuals and the St Mary’s Catholic congregation, who had contributed to the amazing total. There was good news to tell them. Paul anticipated that with the combination of funds and the team we were taking, we could build up to 20 houses.

By 7.00 am the next morning I was stopped at the ATM gathering travelling funds and feeling slightly ridiculous. Neither my bike nor myself are built for speed. My bike is a 20 year old hybrid heavy with bulky panniers full of snacks and drinks, and perfect for catching the wind and slowing me down. I hadn’t done any long distance riding since Eric and I had ridden the great Bicentennial Bike Ride down the west coast of the United States 32 years ago!

“So you are off then?” asked Furio, who was putting out tables outside his nearby restaurant “Yes!” I blurted out. “And I haven’t even done any training!” “You’ll be fine,” he said reassuringly. “Just treat it as a training run, take it easy. You will get there.” It was just what I needed to hear. His words kept me going up the Anglesea hill leading to Forest Road and all the way to Moriac, where my support crew, Eric, was waiting. That first day was a very long and hot one. When I

got overheated Eric would ride for me. When I was riding the Ceres hills, he waited in our truck every five kilometres, just to show me how far I had come.

We were heading for Ballarat via Moriac, Ceres, Bannockburn, Lethbridge, Meredith, and Elaine.

As well as the heat, we battled clouds of insects (Eric estimated we swallowed at least a kilo each) and waves of floating pollen which made our eyes run and kept us sneezing. Every time Eric sneezed it looked as if he was cycling backwards in a series of backfiring jerks!

We were told bicycles were not welcome on the Ballarat freeway so we loaded them up for the trip across town and stopped for the night at the start of the Sunraysia Highway just outside Ballarat. We were hot, tired and dusty, but we were euphoric. We were still on track to complete the ride in three days. The next morning the weather was much kinder. It was cooler and over cast. There was almost no wind, and the kilometeres began to melt away. The

highway side debris changed dramatically, reflecting the remote farming communities we were passing. From the fast food wrappers and dead CDs of the Ballarat Road, we began to see wild animals, pieces of broken farm implements and heaps of discarded screws, nails and baling wire, blown out of the back of the ubiquitous utes flying past. Trucks I could hear for miles flew past sucking me along with them for a few meters and then dumping me shaken and dusty in their wake. To pass the time, I began to estimate my progress, by noting it took about one rotation of my heavy hybrid pedals to achieve a metre in distance. This meant 1,000 leg pumps for every kilometre, 10, 000 for every ten kilometres and so on. My lower back and seat began to complain bitterly after two hours on that second day and I had to stand up in the saddle for relief. The Wimmera/Mallee terrain meant that while there were no gruelling hills, there were equally no relieving down hills. As my faithful legs kept pumping, the surprisingly green scenery snaked by. Frogs complained at every irrigation ditch I crossed . Above me hawks hovered eyeing off the banquets below, and whenever I passed through overhanging trees, magpies swooped and snapped, warning me to keep going and leave their nests alone! When I finally cycled into Donald that afternoon my face was flaming red, I had stopped feeling

ANGLESEA TO BIRCHIP FOR PERU: A CYCLING ODDITY! CONTINUED ... MM

my backside and the thought of a hot shower was absolute bliss. As I rode my ancient bike wearily into the motel car park the owner came out and clapped me. A chorus of galahs fell out of the trees by the river and the long predicted Mallee rain started to fall in fat drops. My first stop the next morning was the Donald office of the Bulloke Times. I delivered James’ letter, had my photo taken and was off. Only 60 kilometres to go and a beautiful straight road ahead, along the lake, through Goroke and straight into Birchip. James sent me a message imagining a Tour de France scenario with Mallee farmers waving Peruvian flags and chanting “Allez, Allex!” But in fact all along the road the only living thing was a glistening one metre black snake who rose up to have a look and then slithered off the road as I rode by. The land was flat and hot. Heat radiated from bitumen and shimmered seductively for kilometres ahead, hiding our destination until the last possible minute. As the day wore on the head wind picked up. That hot wind seemed to want to stop me or even blow me off my bike. I thought about my widowed grandmother and my 11 year old mother (who drought and the great depression, had forced off a Mallee farm 68 years ago) and I peddled on. At one point the wind changed direction and blew across the road. I enlisted an old umbrella and sailed for a few hundred meters, until the malevolent wind blew it out!

Finally, at 1.30 pm I rode into the main street of Birchip, climbed wearily off my bike and

kissed the larger than life statue of a bull which marks the centre of town. No one

cheered, but Eric and me!

That night Paul assembled representatives of the Peru trip donors to receive our Anglesea letters and receipts. Over a sumptuous BBQ tea, the Birchip folk talked about their hopes for the Peru trip, and their excitement at the thought that our team will be able to come back and tell them all about how their involvement has impacted the people of Las Lomas. Maybe next year they can come down and visit us – by bike!

More than just camps!

The visit of the actual 2011 Emirates Melbourne Cup arranged

by the Anglesea Lions Club was a winner for the whole

community. The Emirates Cup Tour selected communities

throughout Australia to showcase the Cup while also allowing

community groups to ‗piggy-back‘ on the visit to highlight their

work and raise funds.

The program in Anglesea saw Lions take the Cup to the Blue

Cross Nursing Home where one elderly resident maintained it

was the greatest highlight of his life. Others were just thrilled to

touch the piece of gold. Midday saw the Anglesea Bowling Club

host a Cup Lunch in the newly re-furbished clubhouse where

diners were able to be part of the Tour - profits from the

luncheon going towards the Club and its newly installed

catering facilities.

The Anglesea Art House staged an exhibition of works in

conjunction with the day . On the Anglesea River, the Sports

and Recreation Club launched the vintage racing shells,

sponsored by Alcoa. They provided entertainment as they

staged the ‗Head of the River‘ rowing race. The trophy, donated

by the Lions Club, was won by a crew from Torquay. The Lions

organised and ran a ‗Farmers‘ Market‘ on the river bank.

The major beneficiary of the day though was the Anglesea

Skate-park Committee whom the Lions have been backing now

for three years. By photographing those wishing to hold the

Cup, running a successful raffle and helping in the sponsorship

of the day through the sale of Horses Heads representing

recent Melbourne Cup winners to local businesses, the

Committee raised $2,000.

Major fund raiser and highlight of the Cup Tour was the Cup

Dinner hosted by the Lions at the Golf Club. The diners

were treated to a wonderful night of entertainment. The

profits from the event were added to the contribution

already made by the Lions toward the upgrading of the

Anglesea Skate-park. Plans made by the Surfcoast

Shire with the Skate-park Committee required $20,000

to be raised before 2012 to be added to the $45,000

provided by Council for the work to be undertaken. The

Anglesea Lions are extremely proud of the fact that

more than 50% of the total has now been contributed

by the Club which re-affirms their dedication to youth –

both local residents and visitors.

Other major donors have been Alcoa, the Bendigo

Community Bank, Anglesea Family Caravan Park,

Seaside Seconds, Hardings Hardware, and Benny

Builders as well as many local businesses and

individuals. Without their help, the project would never

have been brought to a reality.

Paul Weight from the Skate-park Committee received a

cheque for $20,000. Harry Wendt, Lions president,

had the original vision for this day, and John Morrison

from the Anglesea Lions Club co-ordinated the Cup Day.

To sponsors and those who worked hard to make the

day such a success , a very big thank you. Anglesea

worked together well as a community.

SURFCOAST PARKINSON'S SUPPORT GROUP

A Support Group for people living with Parkinson's Disease within the Surfcoast Shire, their partners and/or carers, will be commencing in Anglesea in 2012. For further information and to register your interest, phone 0409 967 801.

GOOD READS FOR SUMMER N.M.

On the Beach for Adults... A masterpiece...Past The Shallows by Favel Parrett.

This beautifully crafted coastal novel by Favel Parrett

revolves around the lives of three brothers: young Harry

who escapes to the sand dunes and whom everyone

loves except his father, Miles his older brother, who is

forced to work on his father‘s fishing boat and Joe who

appears to have escaped and left home. Their father is

a fisherman and abalone poacher, their beloved mother mysteriously

gone. A magnificent read.

Tender & Powerful Read...The Language of Flowers

by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

Victoria Jones spends most of her childhood in

troubled foster homes, until she meets Elizabeth who

teaches her the Victorian concept of what flowers

symbolise happiness, hate, forgiveness. Driven by a

self-torment, Victoria flees Elisabeth‘s haven one dark

evening. Years later she has a blossoming career as a florist. She

arranges flowers for lovers, who like in the book Like Water for

Chocolate, feel the emotions the flowers symbolise. A powerful,

enlightening read about love and forgiveness. Just lovely!

Simply Stunning...Sarah Thornhill by Kate Grenville

Set on the winding rivers of the Hawkesbury, it

follows the life of feisty and beautiful Sarah Thornhill.

She is the youngest child of William Thornhill, a

convict turned colonial landholder, and her life is one

of freedom and privilege. She has always loved Jack

Langford, a powerfully drawn young man of

Aboriginal descent. Unquestionably she believes they

will be together. However through a hand of fate,

and the arrival of a lost child from New Zealand, her

life takes a darker turn. Sarah Thornhill, Jack Langford and Daunt are

such remarkable characters, that you simply will not want this novel

to end.

Darkly dazzling...State of Wonder by Ann Patchett -

Winner of the Orange Prize for Bel Canto

Brilliant Dr Annick Swenson has gone rogue. Deep in

the heart of the Brazilian Rio Negro jungle researching

a new drug that will revolutionise the woman‘s lives,

she simply refuses to answer phone calls, texts, emails,

letters or any other form of communication from the

pharmaceutical company founding her research. With

their patience fast running out, they send Anders Eckman, a highly

respected and gentle lab researcher, to investigate. A curt letter

reporting his untimely death is all that returns. Marina Singh,

once a student of Dr Annick Swenson is sent in to investigate.

What she finds will challenge the very essence of her existence.

This is a dazzling, challenging read from a mighty writer.

Classic Rankin...The Impossible Dead by Ian Rankin

You are now entering classic Ian Rankin territory

with ‗The Complaints’, a team of policeman from

Internal Affairs headed by Inspector Malcolm Fox,

who has quite a reputation for cutting to the

chase. As the body count rises, the plot twists

and turns until Fox himself is in mortal danger.

My thoughts are that the Scottish Ian Rankin

novels are the closest there is to our wonderfully

gritty Australian novels - deeply flawed characters

who remain hard to impress or rattle. A highly enjoyable classic

read from one of Scotland‘s premier crime writers.

Wild Thriller...The Wreckage by Michael Robotham

Robotham 's great skill is that his battered, world

weary characters, and the treachery and corruption

they are uncovering in the highest levels of

government and banking, seem so very real. A wild

read that takes you from the badlands of Bagdad to

the shady streets of London.

On the Beach for Kids and Teens... Enter a Land of Enchantment...The Accidental Princess by Jen

Storer and Lucia Masciullo

Enter a land of enchantment when Matilda and

her sister, Iris, accidentally stumble upon the

Lilac Hedge and discover a world of magical

creatures such as talking mice, fairies, imps,

pixies, trolls, toads, trees with magical powers

and a wicked queen. For lovers of Enid Blyton' s

The Faraway Tree, this is delightful for ages 8+.

Let the fun begin...Diary of a Wimpy Kid cabin

fever by Jeff Kinney

Greg Heffley is up to his neck in trouble as he is

the prime suspect when school property is damaged. But the

crazy thing is, he's innocent. Or at least sort of. Great fun from

ages 8 plus.


PAULINE REILLY M.S.

PAULINE REILLY – 8 December 1918 – 22 April 2011

It was with great

sadness that we learned

of the death, in April this

year, of a very well

respected resident of

Airey‘s Inlet; an

inspirational woman –

Pauline Neura Reilly,

OAM.

Pauline passed away

peacefully in Geelong,

aged 92 years. She was

the beloved wife of Arthur

(dec.), loving mother of

Scott, Brock and Kim

(dec.), and families. Pauline Reilly

She was also an active member of the community after

moving to Airey‘s Inlet when Arthur retired. They both

became active contributors to conservation, community

activities and local government.

When Arthur became terminally ill with cancer in 2000 she

researched the use of marijuana for cancer sufferers and

wrote a book entitle Cannabis and Cancer in which she

described her husband‘s battle with the disease. Pauline

made Marijuana Cookies for Arthur. These helped to relieve

his pain, enhance his appetite and improved the final

days of his life.

Pauline had a life-long interest in nature and in particular,

birds. She joined the Royal Australasian Ornithologists

Union, now Birds Australia, in 1956. She enjoyed field

investigations and became president in 1972. Many

advances marked her presidency: probably the greatest

being, to establish the pioneering Atlas of Australian

Birds. In 1981 she was the first woman to be elected a

fellow of the union for her service to ornithology as a field

worker, administrator and

author.

In 1977 she sailed to

Macquarie Island with the

Australian National Antarctic

Research Expedition to further

her study of penguins – the

first woman to work there in a

scientific capacity. She wrote

at least two books on

Antarctic penguins – Fairy

Penguins and Earthy People

and Penguins of the world.

Pauline had a vision to use

the information she had

accrued to write books for

children. The first book to be

released was The Penguin that Walks at Night in 1985.

This was to be the first in the series, that became known

15


PAULINE REILLY CONTINUED…..

Phone 0418 360 807

as The Collection of Australian Animals, and the beginning

of 23 years of living in the world of, and writing about

animals; all of them uniquely Australian, plus one New

Zealander, the kiwi.

From the book Crocodylus the Freshwater Crocodile by

Pauline-Reilly illustrated by Kaylene-Traynor

Pauline and Kayeline Traynor, an illustrator, formed a very

successful partnership in a company called Bristlebird

Books. From 2000 to 2009, 15 new titles were published,

adding to the 21 titles previously published by Kangaroo

Press.

The main criteria for the stories were that they had to be

scientifically accurate and reflect the life of the animal in its

habitat, with no anthropomorphism, no children‘s names, no

speaking animals and the illustrations had to be as accurate

as possible.

Pauline‘s knowledge of Australian fauna and the quantity of

research conducted for the detailed accuracy of the subjects

of her stories was second to none. She was known to travel

to Kangaroo Island to meet the only person who had

observed echidna‘s mating, to get the details correct for her

book Tachi the Echidna

Always eager to share her knowledge, Pauline enjoyed

reading to an attentive young audience of children from the

local school. Through her books, she would explain carefully

the value of wildlife in the environment and the importance

of habitat protection.

It was because of her desire to make the knowledge readily

available to children, that Pauline asked me if I would be

interested in writing a Teachers‘ Handbook which she‘d had

in mind for the previous 5 years. Without hesitation I

agreed. I believed it would be a privilege to work with such a

knowlegible and well renowned author. The books are a

wonderful resource for teachers and children, and it is for

this reason that the Teachers‘ Handbook was written.

All activities were scrutinised by Pauline, and ideas for more

accurate detail or elimination, were suggested, if they

weren‘t specific or scientific enough for her liking. Any

activity that personified the animals in any way, had to be re-

written. Rhonda Bunbury, previously a lecturer at Deakin

University, then did the editing and compiled the publication.

After going through the process to produce one book with

Pauline, I have a new appreciation of the process and what

is involved in bringing a book into production. The research,

writing in the appropriate language for children, attention to

detail, accuracy, and finally the editing to get every fact

correct for publishing, requires much knowledge and

patience.

Pauline has been the recipient of many prestigious awards

for her achievements including: the Medal of the Order of

Australia in 1994 for outstanding contribution to

ornithology and to the community, The Royal Australasian

Ornithologists Union‘s (RAOU) John Hobbs Medal for her

outstanding contribution to ornithology in 2001, The Roy

Wheeler Medallion, 2005, for excellence in ornithology,

given by the Bird Observers Club and in 2005, The

Australian Natural History Medallion was awarded by the

Field Naturalists Club of Victoria. In addition, most of her

books were either short listed or won Wilderness Society

and Whitley Book Awards.

Pauline continued to write books up until the day she was

no longer able. Her last stories were about surviving after

a stroke, which she mastered twice in her life.

She was admired by all who knew her for her intelligence,

vast knowledge of all things to do with the natural

environment, her interest in all the people she met and

her ability to relate to people of all ages. She will be sadly

missed by all who knew her but her legacy will continue

through the pages of her magnificent stories of

Australiana. Margaret Sheehan

Trinity Uniting Church Anglesea –

A Brief History.

In 1886 the Rev. A. Stewart conducted

a service in the home of Miss Anna

Mackay, an early settler at Anglesea.

Miss Mackay who ran a boarding-house

in Camp Road also owned a 12 acre

block opposite. She subdivided this

and gave 5 acres at the corner of

today‘s McDougall and McRorie Streets

for the construction of a Presbyterian

Church with space for an adjoining

graveyard. With the help of Miss

Ormond of Geelong, she collected

building funds for the erection and

furnishing of the church, which had the

backing of the Geelong Presbytery but

was of Mission status only and no

permanent minister was supplied. It

was made known that

the building was

available to all

evangelical

denominations and it

was hoped that during

the busy season a

service could be

arranged every Lord‘s

Day, as several

ministers who had

holiday homes in

Anglesea took services

in the church when on

vacation.

The church building

was completed and was opened and

dedicated by the Rev. A. Stewart on 2nd

January 1887. Miss Mackay died in

1901 and was buried at Bellbrae due

to internments in the land adjoining

the church being disallowed after

several nearby residents objected to

the local authorities, regarding

graveyards in the township.

Disaster struck on 22nd January 1908

when a bushfire fanned by a strong

northerly wind destroyed most of

Anglesea township, including its first

Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Murray exchanged the church

land for a more accessible and

convenient site at the corner of

today‘s Camp Rd. and McRorie

Street, opposite her Post Office on

what was then the main route into

town. A new building was erected

and the second Presbyterian Church

was opened on 26th December

1909, the service being conducted

by the Right Rev the Moderator of

the Presbyterian Church, Professor

Skene, who was on holidays at

Anglesea at that time.

The new church on what was then a

ANGLESEA UNITING CHURCH CONTINUED TW

narrow dirt track winding through

scrubby trees was considered to be a

fair walk from the town, especially for

those who lived on the western side of

the river. Mr. J. M. Carroll, who was

once secretary of the Geelong

Presbyterian Church Board, donated

land fronting the main road to the

bridge (now Murch Cres.). The No. 2

Church was carted by horse drawn

wagon to this block in late 1916 and

opened on 16th January 1917. The

building was crowded to its utmost

capacity with extra seating

commandeered from Mrs. Jackson‘s

Hotel.

In 1927 a proposal to combine

Connewarre, Torquay, Anglesea and

Pettavel was put forward and regular

monthly services commenced. After

the district became part of the

Connewarre Charge in 1928, the

Presbytery of Geelong urged that every

property holder in the town be

contacted, and as a result, many

people from other denominations

became reliable supporters and

generous benefactors.

During 1938 Mrs.

Bertha Loveridge of

Anglecrest arranged

with an architect for

the Church to be

renovated, enlarged

and given a facelift.

Conite cladding was

attached to the

exterior, imitation

buttresses were added,

paneling fixed to the

interior to improve its

appearance and the

triple stained glass

windows (now separated in the vestry)

were included in the southern wall.

Although membership was small, holiday

makers regularly swelled the number of

worshippers and in 1968 it was thought

prudent to purchase a block of land on

the west side of the Church for future

development.

When union with the Methodists and

Congregationalists was voted upon, all

thirty members in attendance agreed to

join the Uniting Church in Australia,

which came into being on 22nd June

1977.

Soon after Union, the Connewarre

Parish of which the Anglesea

congregation was part regretfully

closed the Connewarre Church. The

Sunday School building was

transported to Anglesea in 1982

where it was located on the land

next door. Another room was added

and the two buildings were joined

with a walkway.

In 1987, researching history for the

celebration of the Church‘s

centenary, it was found that the

original Anglesea Presbyterian

Mission Church was named

―Trinity‖ and the congregation

decided to again use the name of

―Trinity‖. Soon after, in 1990, the

name of the Parish was changed from

Connewarre to Surf Coast.

The permanent population of

Anglesea was growing with an influx

of retirees. The old building, which

was stretched beyond its capacity in

holiday periods, was found to be

riddled with termites and dry rot.

After several years of deliberation, the

decision was taken to demolish the

old building and rebuild on the same

site. The ex-Connewarre Sunday

School building was transported to

Bellbrae to continue life as a Sunday

School hall there and is now used as

an Opportunity Shop.

ANGLESEA UNITING CHURCH CONTINUED TW

The new building (third building on third site)

was dedicated by the Moderator, Mrs. Nancy

Bomford, on 13th February 1994. It is a

delight, visually open to Anglesea‘s beauty,

small and compact for regular membership

but easily extendable to accommodate visiting

worshippers. Fund-raising activities, necessary

to repay the outstanding loan on the new

building, have enriched the fellowship within

the life of the Church and the community. After just 11 years,

the church was free of debt, but the January mini-fair, started

as a fund raiser for the new church, continues as a valuable

and important community event.

In 1997 the Anglesea Christian Fellowship, (now the Anglesea

Baptist Church) who wasa worshiping in the Anglesea

Community Centre, was invited to share the new building and a

welcoming service was held on October 26th. The arrangement

continues and both congregations happily share and care for

the building.

Currently, the Surf Coast linked congregations of Airey‘s Inlet,

Anglesea, Bellbrae and Torquay work together under the

guidance and ministry of the Rev. Helen Robinson. The vision

and Christian witness of Anglesea‘s early settlers continues to be lived

out today.

Sue Vaughan-Leeman Asthma Awareness

Fund Raiser for Asthma Foundation

In Memory of Sue passed away 27-5-2006

The Blow Asthma Away group

started fundraising in 2007 with a

sausage sizzle. They have run an

annual fundraiser since then. Their

motto is…. If we can save one

person.

A total of $27,638 has been raised,

$8,500 of it being raised this year.

A portion of the money raised will go

to Anglesea Primary School to

supply emergency ventolin and spacers. This will continue each

year in memory of Sue. An asthma pump will be donated to

Anglesea Pharmacy for loan to asthma sufferers. Ventolin for

emergency use, will be provided to the local Netball

Association. The remainder of the money raised will be used by

the Asthma Foundation for Asthma Education in Schools,

including Anglesea Primary School, which receives an Asthma

Education programme annually.

The local Fund Raising group extends their grateful thanks to

the Anglesea Community for their generous support. The group

reminds everyone to not take asthma lightly as an attack can

come on in seconds.

They have for sale, Drangonfly Brooches in memory of Sue. All

profits go to the Asthma Foundation.

Supplied and fitted.

we are now in the summer

bushfire season. With the

emphasis on grass fires this year,

residents need to understand that

bush fires in the area are a very

likely event. With this in mind it is

timely to run through a few major items in the 2011/12 fire season

key messages.

Bushfire Survival Plan

● You need a well thought out

Bushfire Survival Plan if you live or

holiday in high risk bushfire areas in Victoria.

● Research shows 75% of people

living in high risk areas do not have

a bushfire survival plan.

● You are not alone, advice and

support is available. Talk to your

local CFA brigade about how to

plan for bushfire.

Grass Fires

● Grassfires can spread quickly

and are extremely dangerous,

burning at 15-20km/h or more.

● Grass fires are very hot and can produce large amounts of radiant

heat that can kill anyone caught

out in the open.

Township Protection Plans

● Township Protection Plans are for local residents and visitors.

●Township Protection Plans

contain local information for

communities to help identify and

manage the risk of bushfire.

● Managing bushfire risk is

everyone‘s responsibility—know

your Township Protection Plan.

● Find your local Township Protection Plan online at

cfa.vic.gov.au

Don‘t Wait and See

● Do not wait and see– it is

extremely dangerous to leave after

there are signs of fire in your area.

● Once a fire is in your area, it may become difficult to leave because

road conditions will be dangerous.

There may be road closures,

smoke, fallen trees and embers.

● You should not wait to receive a

warning to leave. Bushfires can

start quickly and threaten lives and

homes within minutes.

Warnings

● Don‘t rely on an official warning

to leave. (Bushfires can start

quickly and threaten lives and

homes in minutes.)

● If a fire starts nearby, there may be no

time for official warnings.

● Tune to ABC, local radio, commercial

radio, and designated community radio

stations or SKY NEWS Television or call

the Victorian Bushfire Information Line

on 1800 240 667. Receive warnings via

the CFA Updates Twitter account.

● Emergency Alert telephone warnings

may also be sent to your mobile and

landline phones based on your billing

address. This means if you live in the

city and are travelling in the country,

when a bushfire happens you will not

receive a telephone warning by mobile

phone.

Neighbourhood Safer Places

● NSPs are places of last resort when all

other plans have failed.

● NSPs may still be subject to ember attack

and they do not guarantee safety.

● NSPs are not relief centres– there are

limited facilities and no support or services are

provided. They are not places to relocate to

when leaving early.

Code Red

● Code Red is the highest Fire Danger Rating —

these are the worst conditions for a bush or

grass fire.

● Houses are not designed or constructed to

withstand fires in Code Red conditions.

Code Red days are rare—when they are

forecast they are very serious

Your safety is your responsibility

HOODED PLOVER

The Hooded Plover is on the

endangered list, with very few left in

our area. It nests in beach sand above

high tide level, making it vunerable to

dogs and other predators.

The hooded plover is 19—21 cm. It is a

very small bird who is extremely shy. It

will turn and run or fly further up the

beach if it is approached. It has a

black hood a white collar. Its beak is

red as is its eye-rim. Its ‗kew-kew‖ call

is a short piping call. The juvenile is

mottled brown/grey.

The Hooded Plover is threatened by

humans trampling nests and allowing

dogs to eat eggs or chase chicks.

Plovers have been observed in very

small numbers at the mouth of the

Anglesea River, at Point Roadknight

and at Point Addis.

It is important not to confuse the

Hooded Plover with the bigger

commonly seen bird, the Masked

Lapwig.

The Masked Lapwig is 33-38 cm, being

a medium sized bird. It also has a

distinctive yellow mask on its face.

These birds tend to swoop when eggs

or young are threatened. They nest in

depressions on the ground or in flat

grass. They have a ‗kekekek‖ call,

heard mainly at night. The juvenile is

TALKING WITH ALCOA

making a big impact in anglesea

Wood fired pizza making, a home preserving

workshop, recycled and vintage fashion shows and

seasonable cooking classes are just some of the

activities locals enjoyed throughout the year as part

of the Make an Impact pilot in Anglesea.

The Make an Impact programme aims to build

community resilience to climate change through

‗fostering skills, imagination and the capacity of local

people to take control and find answers to the issues

relevant to them around sustainability and climate

change.‘ Anglesea was selected as a pilot location for

the programme which is a joint initiative funded by

Greening Australia and Alcoa.

The programme‘s theme, ‗experiments in local living‘,

provided Anglesea residents with positive actions

they can undertake that will benefit the local

community, their individual health and well being, the

environment and their hip pockets.

As the program wraps up for the year, Make an

Impact Community Development Officer, Sarah Bolus

says that the pilot was a huge success.

―Over 750 people have been part of the programme,

including over 11 local community groups, and many

would like to see the initiatives continue next year,‖

she said.

―All events were booked out within days of advertising

them and the programme reached people beyond its

original boundaries of Anglesea, influencing people

as far as Geelong, Torquay and Aireys Inlet.‖

The Make an Impact events, such as a sustainable

food safari, composting workshop and pizza in the

park were designed to be fun and engaging,

encouraging people to think outside the box

regarding sustainability. This helped to engage

people who hadn‘t previously been involved in

sustainability initiatives before.

―As part of the program we created a community

demonstration site at the Anglesea District and

Community House. We retrofitted the old

weatherboard house with more sustainable options,

such as solar panels, waste recycling, installation of

insulation, water tanks and a water wise

demonstration garden,‖ said Sarah.

―Since the installation works were undertaken the

Community House has generated renewable energy

that has been sold back into the grid.‖

―We turned over 2,840kg of food waste into valuable

compost for people‘s gardens in just five short

months, saving the equivalent of approximately 4.5

tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the

atmosphere. This component of the programme also

helped build people‘s skills on how to successfully

compost and grow their own vegetables.‖

The program also helped develop new community

leaders and further build their capacity to become

ambassadors for sustainability in the community.

―As a result of the program, 24 parents at the two local schools

undertook training and received further mentoring on growing

their own fruit and vegetables. The local schools have now

developed kitchen gardens to pass on these skills to the

students.‖

The Make an Impact programme‘s events culminated on

Saturday 12th November with the Connecting Community Day.

This was a chance for the team to celebrate their achievements

over the past year and thank the community for their involvement

in the programme.

―The programme demonstrates that anyone can become more

sustainable in their way of life- it‘s not hard and most of all can be

a lot of fun!‖ ―It showed that collective small actions and

movements in communities, such as ours in Anglesea, can have

a lasting impact and can create new and greater movements

beyond our original boundaries. Anyone can start something, the

key is you‘ve just got to start!‖

Next year the Make an Impact programme will move to a new

location in Geelong. Despite this, some of the programme‘s

initiatives will continue to be run by local community groups in

Anglesea. The Anglesea District and Community House will

continue to build on its efforts to become a model of

environmental sustainability.


SHORT STORY - SCRUBBER E.G.

Two beady black eyes gazed adoringly at Beth, pleading with

her, though not a word was spoken, for just a scrap of her

bacon. Beth tried to ignore the stare. Did Scrubber really think

she‘d hand some over? No way! She‘d been sick for three days

and hadn‘t eaten much at all. Now that the fever had passed

she was ravenous.

Scrubber had used those eyes to perfection; that soulful look

had grabbed Beth‘s heart the moment she walked between the

RSPCA enclosures. ―The poor little scrubbing brush‖, she

thought at the time, ―OK little one.‖ ―I‘ll have this one.‖ she told

the attendant, ―This poor, little, shaggy pooch.‖ As soon as they

handed her the ball of hair, those eyes locked with hers, and

the little pink tongue licked her cheek. So she brought the dog

home and called her Scrubber.

What a joy she was! And what a pest. Dogs are outside animals

aren‘t they? This little cross-breed was to be no exception. But

Beth was lonely now that James had died. She needed a

companion. Her daughter had said, ―Why don‘t you get a dog

Mum? You‘ve always loved dogs.‖

So Scrubber had started as an outside dog. That was until the

first rainy day. Somehow she wormed her way into Beth‘s heart,

sitting at the glass door, outside in the rain, shaggy hair

dripping, staring forlornly, whimpering and shaking. Beth

couldn‘t stand it and let her in, lovingly wrapping her in a towel

to warm her up.

Then, when she went out for the first time, Beth left Scrubber –

or so she thought – locked in the back yard. But when she

returned, there, right next to the door, right there in her

beautifully tended rose bed, was an enormous hole, a huge pile

of soil and a very sorry-looking uprooted rose bush. Scrubber

stood there, eyes aglow, her unruly tail wagging furiously. ―Oh

darling!‘ Beth groaned, ―What have you done?‖ She was furious

and so, so sad, but what could she do? She plonked the rose

back into the hole and almost all the soil, but Scrubber wormed

herself between Beth‘s arms somehow, and licked and licked.

―How pleased I am.‖ her eyes said, ―I thought you‘d left me like

those other people did.‖ Beth‘s heart did a somersault. There

was so much love, so much need in this little dog.

The digging continued every time Beth went out until Beth

began to take the dog with her in the car. In no time, Scrubber

was inside all day. It took only three months before she was

inside all night as well. Beth had to build a doggy door. Her

daughter was aghast.

―Mum, it‘s a dog!. Leave it outside. Why do you let her in all the

time?‖ ―It protects the garden.‖ Beth loved her garden, loved

watching things grow and flower. Besides, it gave her the cut

flowers she loved in the house.

The rot really set in when Beth got sick again. Ageing has that

problem, you get sick more often. And with the doggy door, how

could she keep Scrubber out? As Beth lay in bed, feeling really

off, Scrubber sat by the bed, gazing at her, whimpering, little

black eyes boring into Beth‘s feverish face. She was too small to

jump up on the bed, so what did Beth do? She lifted the dog up

and put her on the bed. Then she fell into a febrile sleep. And

when she awoke, there was Scrubber, under the covers, curled

up against Beth‘s stomach, fast asleep, a smile on her little

doggy face.

Beth got up, had a drink and a wee, and went back to

bed. Scrubber immediately cuddled into her stomach.

They stayed there on and off, for three whole days until

Beth felt better, changed the bed linen, and went to the

kitchen. Her appetite was back, but there wasn‘t much

in the fridge, a bit of bacon, an egg and some bread for

toast. The dog food was all gone too. She‘d have to go

out and shop, but first she had to eat. With Scrubber

staring single-mindedly at her bacon, she did decide

―No way‖ but somehow the dog got the rind.

Then, only a few months later, Scrubber began to

cough. Beth dismissed it as attention-seeking. ―Kennel

cough.‖ she said to the dog. ―You needn‘t think you can

wheedle more out of me that way.‖ and she gave the

dog a pat. Scrubber looked forlorn, coughed and sank

down in a crouch with a whimper, eyes glued to Beth,

as she sighed and put her head on her paws.

The next morning, poor little Scrubber had a hot nose

and her eyes began to stream as the cough worsened.

And when she got up to go through the doggy door, she

got stuck and seemed too weak to extricate herself.

Poor baby. Beth rang the vet, got an appointment and

took Scrubber down the hill. ―How old is this dog?‖

asked Michael. ―I don‘t really know. I got her from the

Lost Dog‘s Home. I didn‘t think to ask. I just fell in love

and brought her home.‖ ―This dog is not at all well. How

long has she been like this?‖ he asked. In the end,

Beth left Scrubber behind for observation and

overnight care. The car seemed so empty, and so was

her bed. She missed the warm little shaggy body much

more than she thought possible, more than she ever

missed James. Her heart ached.

In the morning she rang the vet. ―I think you‘d better

come down‖ he said, ― I need to talk to you.‖ So down

she went without breakfast, all her thoughts of

Scrubber. ―What‘s the matter with her?‖ Beth asked,

holding the sad little bundle of fur. Scrubber just lay

there, letting Beth hold her, not moving. ―I found a

tumour.‖ said the vet, ―I‘m sorry. It‘s weakened her

resistance. Now she has the equivalent of pneumonia. I

can give her antibiotics for the infection but …..‖ Beth

didn‘t hear the rest. She knew her dear little Scrubber

would die. How could she have wormed her way into

Beth‘s heart so quickly? She held the little darling,

gazed into her tired, tired eyes and pleaded. ―I‘m sorry

darling, I didn‘t know. Why didn‘t you tell me? Scrubber

gazed back, lovingly raised her nose and licked Beth

one last time, then gave a deep sigh and died. ―She

was waiting for you.‖ said the vet softly, ―to say

goodbye.‖

Beth couldn‘t answer. Tears filled her eyes and she sat

glumly holding Scrubber, her dearest little companion,

now gone.

Are you a recycler, or are you guilty

of sometimes throwing aluminium

cans in the garbage? The production

of aluminium

is a subject

very close to

each of us

who live in or

visit

Anglesea. We

know that

large

amounts of

electricity are

required to

produce aluminium. That is why we

have the Alcoa Power Station at the

back of our town.

But did you know that aluminium is

the most recyclable material in

common use? 75% of this metal

ever produced, is still in use today,

and that includes all aluminium

extracted from bauxite ore since

1888 when it was first developed.

Compare this with glass that is 44%

recycled (Clean up Australia), and

plastic bottles, which are 29%,

recycled (Headwaters Cooperative

Recycling).

Burning

brown coal

to make

aluminium

is always a

hot topic

in

Anglesea.

Many

stress the

disadvantages of burning fossil fuel.

In the meantime researchers

continue to look for alternative

sources of power. But we must not

forget that once produced,

aluminium requires 95% less energy

to recycle it. So let‘s all appreciate

the value of aluminium and do our

bit to ensure it is reused again and

again. Don‘t throw aluminium cans,

old aluminium saucepans and other

equipment in the garbage. Garbage

goes to land fill and is lost forever.

We wouldn‘t throw notes and coins

in the garbage so don‘t throw

valuable resources in there either.

Aluminium is the most sustainable

and recyclable automotive,

packaging, and construction

material in today‘s market. Alcoa,

the local manufacturer of aluminium,

constantly strives to better understand

and improve the sustainability of

aluminium products. They are

developing new and improved products

and processes to increase both the

amount of aluminium used and

recycled throughout the world.

In today‘s world, where the dominant

trends are population growth,

urbanization, and growth of energy

demands, aluminium is an ideal

material. Strong but lightweight, it is an

essential component of green buildings

in fast-growing urban areas. It improves

fuel efficiency and emissions

reductions in all vehicles.

Some of the contributions aluminium

makes to sustainability include -

1. Beverage cans are the world‘s most

recycled container — 69% of all cans

were recycled worldwide in 2010.

(International Aluminium Association).

A recycled aluminium can is back on

the shelf in 60 days. (Aluminium

Association).

2. Vehicle weigh A 10% reduction in a

car‘s weight through the use of

aluminium can result in a 7% reduction

in the vehicle‘s GHG emissions.

(www.autoaluminium.org) as well as

considerable savings in fuel.

3. Building & Construction industry

95% of aluminium in buildings is

recycled. (greenbuilding.world

aluminium.org). Aluminium roofs can

reflect up to 95% of the sun‘s light,

dramatically lowering internal

temperatures during summer.

4. In the Electronics Market aluminium

alloys are made from 25% recycled

content, and are 20% lower in carbon

emissions.

Aluminium generates 20% less

CO2 than ABS plastic in cell phones.

(Alcoa analysis)

Because aluminium is more

efficient at transferring heat than

plastic, an aluminium laptop (without a

fan) can be 20% more energy-efficient

than plastic, with a 20% longer battery

life.

So aluminium is a precious resource.

Ensure you respect it as part of the

green solution and recycle it so it is used

many, many times over.

There are many collection points for

aluminium in Geelong.

SURF COAST SHIRE Cr. Jim Tutt

Anglesea Riverbank Improvements

As noted in the last edition, Council

established a ―Community Partnership

Group‖ of representatives from a wide

cross section of interest groups to

work with a landscape architect and

officers to design new facilities at both

the rivermouth and Carnival/Lions

Park sites. This group has completed its work and

Council adopted their recommended designs in

November 2011. It should be noted that works will be

done in stages, as funds are limited. Currently, Council

has allocated $ 100,000 and obtained a grant of

$300,000 from Rural Development Vic . An application

has been made to Sport & Recreation Vic for play

equipment, and further grants will be sought from

wherever possible.

Improvements to the area near the rivermouth/4 Kings

corner are:

*upgrade of picnic/bbq facilities

*unique sea-themed playground amidst natural

landscape

* extended river pathway

This area will be named ―Moonah Park‖

The area near the Carnival / Lions Park is designed as a

place for multi-purpose events and performances. It will

incorporate an upgrade to the skate park that also

allows a stage/events area for smaller, low key activities

such as Christmas Carols. The larger ―Carnival‖ site will

be unencumbered so that it can continue as a flexible,

multi-purpose space.

Community Safety Audit

As part of the evaluation of possible uses of the area

near the Carnival/Lions Park precinct, representatives of

the CPG met with Council staff and the local police to

assess possible hazards/risks. Items checked included

public safety lighting and pedestrian access.

ALCOA Oval

Anglesea Football and Netball Club has been successful

in gaining Council approval to rename the oval at

Ellimatta Reserve to Alcoa Oval, previously known as

Dave Harding Oval, in recognition of the original sponsor.

The sponsorship term has expired, and Alcoa was asked

by the Club if they would assist. They have agreed, being

a great benefactor to the Club for many years, supporting

the junior teams in many ways. They will formally

sponsor the Club for an agreed period.

Anglesea Community Garden

Due to some contamination found in the soil, the garden

has been closed while tests are conducted. The

Consultants report is expected in Dec 2011, and include

options that will be referred to Council. If the site can be

safely reopened, and Council agrees, it‘s possible that

the garden might be operational in early 2012. If it

cannot be reopened Council will consider alternative

locations for the community garden.

Invitation to New Civic Office /Sporting Complex

All residents/ratepayers are invited to inspect the Shire‘s

new office and sporting facilities at Torquay, on Saturday

4 February. Details will be publicised in the local press. This

―Open Day‖ will include the Cowrie Market, sporting events,

food stalls, and entertainment. There will be tours of the new

Council Offices and recreational facilities, with the sports

pavilion having function rooms available for both community

groups and private use.

Alcoa Mine Lease Renewal

The original 1961 agreement with the State of Victoria gave

Alcoa the right to seek an extension of the initial 50 year term.

They have exercised that option. As part of the negotiations on

the extension, Alcoa have agreed to modernise the sites

environmental regulations, including: Any expansion of the

mined area limited to 246 hectares ( approximately 3% of the

total lease) Identifying any potential environmental impacts

and having management plans. Alcoa will continue to jointly

manage the Anglesea Heath with the Department of

Sustainibility and Parks Victoria. For more information visit

www.dpi.vic.gov.au

Try Sailing

Anglesea Motor Yacht Club is offering ―try sailing‖ lessons

over the Christmas /January period.

If you have ever wanted to have a go, this is the chance.

The Club is keen to encourage youngsters ( 12+ yrs) and has

several training boats available.

Sailing is at Pt Roadknight on Sundays – just present yourself

at the Clubhouse near the boat-ramp and ask for details.

Jewellery designer and stone carver. The challenge for Carolyn McKinnon moving to the

Surfcoast from a small property in North East Victoria

was to find a place to live in a tight rental market.

Luckily some long-term locals answered the

advertisement and offered her their house after she

and her husband relocated.

She began her association with Anglesea in 2006 to

develop her jewellery design and stone-carving

business, complete with Frank‘s workshop and

multiple sheds!

Originally from Geelong, she feels fortunate to be

able to have lived in beautiful parts of regional

Victoria for the past 30 years, including the

Wimmera, near the Grampians, and North East

Victoria, near Wangaratta. There, she worked in the

art industry teaching secondary art, working at

Wangaratta‘s adult education centre, and teaching

and co-ordinating a Jewellery Design and a Metal-

smithing course at Wangaratta‘s TAFE college,

utilizing her gold and silver-smithing qualifications.

Added to that was twelve months in New Zealand

where she really enjoyed both the country and time

as a student, gaining a qualification in Jade and Hard

Stone Carving.

The benefit of her art training and creative activity is

that it enabled her to go to different locations and

across different jobs and that always helps to

connect people with groups in a new community.

Once in Anglesea she linked with twin sister, Meryl,

to open the shop SwellARTS .

Combining both her Art and her experience on the

Surfcoast, in tourism information and

accommodation centres, the aim was to sell both

their own work and promote regional products,

jewellery and artwork, quality souvenirs made in

Australia, and highlight the natural attractions of the

area. They have been pleased to be able to meet,

stock, exhibit and expand the profile of over twenty

suppliers, photographers, jewellers and artists.

Located from Point Lonsdale to Warrnambool, as well

as Anglesea and Aireys Inlet, many of these suppliers

operate successful home-based art and publishing

businesses in our coastal towns.

Balancing design and production of work with selling

is always a challenge. After three years with a

SwellARTS shopfront. They have decided sadly to

close the shop, to focus more on Carolyn‘s jade and

limestone carving and silver-smithing, with

exhibitions and an on-line presence for SwellARTS.

BUT, until

December

31st

SwellARTS will

be presenting

some of

Anglesea‘s

own

printmakers

with work by

Jill Giles, Matt

Solly, and

Marilyn

Robinson on

display, as well

as jewellery

from Stephanie

Hocking.

Please call in

to view and

With Christmas and the holiday season just a few weeks

away it is a timely reminder for all of us to secure our

valuables. Holiday season attracts large crowds

including undesirables to our region. I encourage

everyone wherever possible to lock your vehicle and do

not leave valuables in view. Avoid taking valuables to the

beach car parks as it takes away the temptation for the

small minority who want to take advantage of it.

Another trend that is evident this time of the year is the

amount of surf boards and beach gear that are left in

front yards. Please take the time to secure your property

to help us to reduce theft over the holiday period.

Operation Wave 3 will be conducted by Anglesea and

Lorne police over the holidays to target thefts from motor

vehicles in beach car parks.

There has been a disturbing increase in the amount of

rubbish dumping in the area. Police patrols will be

increasing in these areas and if anyone witnesses the

dumping of rubbish please contact the police station or

Parks Vic and we will investigate these incidents. There

are substantial penalties for aggravated litterers who will

be prosecuted in the Magistrates Court. All we need is

the registration number of the vehicle and this would

assist us greatly in identifying these offenders.

The Anglesea Music Festival was a great success and

from a policing perspective we were pleased with the

behavior from many patrons including the youth who

visited the area over the three days. This event has

become a feature event and we look forward to

supporting this event next year.

Please drive carefully over the summer period and drive

to the conditions at the time. There has been an

increase in the amount of cyclists on the Great Ocean

Road. The road is for all road users and I encourage

everyone to show tolerance and support the Share the

Road campaign which is an initiative of Bike Safe.

We would like to congratulate Sam

WRITE ANGLES MS

Well, Anglesea has been famous for

five minutes with the true-blue

Melbourne Cup spending a day in our

fair town.

Unlike the legendary Melbourne Cup,

we do not stop the nation once a

year. But every summer when half

the world travels down our coastal

road, and has to cross over our narrow bridge, we do stop

the traffic ....and we do it every day.

It was a great event for our little town, filled with

community spirit and camaraderie. An amazing group of

talented local people put it all together with vision,

enthusiasm, and expertise. And as an extra bonus we also

hosted Geelong's cup - the one the Cats won as premiers

of the AFL.

The cups may be a one-off happening; but now that we

know we can do it there is sure to be more to come! There

will always be good causes to support. I would love to see

us bring Anglefest to life again as a bigger and better

celebration of our town. It could be our own mardigras.

The previous weekend Anglesea Music Festival had been

in full swing. Our ever-popular kangaroos were joined by

other forms of wildlife - there were Two Dogs, Neatly

Folded Goats, Pressed Rat & Warthog, a Dog Going

South .... and lots more bands with funky names.

A walk down the street in Anglesea is always fun. You are

sure to find someone to talk with - no-one need ever be

lonely in our town. One day I met a local recuperating from

an operation - both he and his old dog were shuffling along.

He told me his canine companion was 'a mad dog'. I replied

that it took one to know one; and he said, "Well, that's

actually up-graded my status."

I've heard that a talk-back radio show asked if any towns had

a local 'character'; and someone called in from Anglesea

nominating the town criers. I thought that was great! I've

always wanted to be a character. Not that we really stand out

here. I reckon that per capita of population Anglesea would

have more characters than any other rural town. And Arthur

would be proud that's another good thing - it's a place where

we can be eccentric and still be accepted. Yes, fellow

characters, ‗Uncle of us all!‘

If you are fund-raising in 2012 and would like something a

little different, you could have a morning or afternoon tea

where you can invite people to "share cucumber sandwiches

with The Queen". Her majesty will give a humourous, but

respectful, ten-minute address. The monarch has visited

Anglesea on several occasions, and once gave her Christmas

message in person at Camp Burnside on Christmas Day! Her

Majesty makes this offer free-of-charge as her royal

contribution to your charity group. She is sure to explain how

her royal chefs prepare her own cucumber sandwiches, and

how to recognise them. You may engage The Queen by

ringing her agent on 5263 2801..

Keep smiling! (by Royal Decree!)

Junior School Council Report This year the Aireys Inlet Junior School Council was busy raising money for the continued support of our World Vision child in Ethiopia, Ashenafi, also for relief for flood victims in Pakistan, victims of the famine in East Africa, and homeless people in Geelong – not to mention providing the odd BBQ for everyone. As student leaders, we have continued on our quest to make our school operate more sustainably. This year we have promoted the importance of biodiversity, and of minimising and re-using our waste more effectively, by being involved in the re-development of the garden and composting system, organising the construction and operation of our chook shed, and by providing the funds for the installation of a rainwater tank to service these areas. It was very exciting watching our eggs hatch one by one, and the little chicks emerge. We all became the proud parents of eight little chicks - of various colour combinations. After being overwhelmed by the love and attention they received in the Prep room, they were soon ready to move into the magnificent “Chook Hilton” built with the generous help of the Aireys members of the Anglesea Men’s Shed. Soon there’ll be lots of eggs to make Aussie Pizzas in our outdoor pizza oven.

Super Spelling Challenge

The Aireys Campus snatched victory in the recent Cross Campus Super Spelling Challenge held in the new Innovative Learning Space at the Lorne Campus. All students from Years 3-6 participated, and were passionate about ensuring victory for their respective campuses. There were some outstanding individual performances, but all students contributed to the final outcome – VICTORY FOR AIREYS!!!! The Aireys students have now levelled the score with the Lorne Campus, the reigning titleholders, so next year’s Challenge is already shaping up to be a major event on our calendar. Congratulations to the individual level champions and every student who contributed so well to their teams’ final scores.

A Boy and his Bike

Most people are accustomed to the familiar sight of Grade 4 student, Chris Parsell, riding his trusty bike around Aireys. Chris loves his bike, and couldn’t imagine his life without the fun and sense of freedom and independence it gives him. When Chris learnt about children his age in some countries, like Laos, who could not enjoy these simple pleasures, he was shocked and determined to find out more. He discovered that a lot of land mines and unexploded bombs left over from the Vietnam War were the cause of some devastating injuries suffered by children living in these countries. Many had lost limbs, and would forever suffer hardship, and never be able to enjoy riding a bike as Chris does. Chris decided to do something about it. He found out about the Cope Foundation, which is a charitable organisation that provides prosthetic limbs for children with these injuries. He decided to use his love for bike riding as a means of raising money to purchase some limbs for these children, so that perhaps they may have the opportunity of riding a bike themselves some day. At the recent Aireys Fair, Chris set up an exercise bike he had restored himself and charged people $1.00 to ride a kilometre for the disabled children of Laos. Chris’s bike clocked up a lot of kilometres – in fact, 326 of them!! He had raised enough money to purchase four legs, and forever change the lives of four children. An amazing effort by an amazing young man!! Well done, Chris!!


ANGLESEA PRIMARY SCHOOL

FREE MASSAGE

As an introduction to his work, Robert Kain is offering a complementary first massage session to local Surf Coast residents.

Robert moved to Anglesea last year after running his own school and health clinic in Melbourne for over 15 years, and is one of only a handful of Postural Integration Practitioners currently working in Australia. Postural Integration

massage is a form of soft tissue body work and postural realignment that is very popular in the U.S. and Europe.

As we get older our bodies get stuck as a result of accumulated injuries and poor lifestyle habits. Postural Integration relieves pain by softening connective tissues and realigning the body. It incorporates a mind/body connection, and how what we do in our everyday lives affects our body.

Robert offers discounts to Seniors.

On Monday the

28th of November the

Anglesea Primary School‘s

ukulele group ‗Cool Ukes‘

performed ‗The Fun Song‘

and ‗Party Rock Anthem‘

at the weekly assembly.

The ukulele group practise every Friday at lunch time for 45mins. They are wonderful to listen to and

they have improved so much since they first started. We look forward to seeing them perform for us

at assembly again.

During November the years 3/4/5/6‘s participated in our Beach Safety & Awareness Programme at

Point Roadknight Beach. Prep/1/2‘s started the program at the beginning of December. The

programme has been running for 10 years and places an emphasis on beach safety and awareness.

For example: reading rips, understanding which way the water is flowing and learning how to rescue

someone in trouble.

During Terms 3 and 4 the 5/6s have been participating in an ESP Program (Enhancing Student

Potential). ESP‘s primary focus is on strengthening and building relationships between students,

teachers and community members. The program also encourages team work and builds confidence

as students enjoy a variety of activities including bike riding, surfing, low ropes, giant swing, non-

verbal communicative games and much, much more.
