A Magical afternoon of Storytelling

Council has informed Growing Winchelsea Inc. that some pine tree removal work will take place near the skate park.

The plan below shows the trees affected. They are pines, which are a weed species and they also provide a risk to park users.

It may take a few weeks to clean up and eventually there will be some replanting in this area with appropriate trees.

The trees marked with red symbol are necessary to be removed as part of the new bridge works (responsibility of the bridge contractor) and the trees marked with green

symbol are Council’s responsibility.

The benefits to council and community are:

• opportunity to alleviate any future risk associated with these mature declining pine trees

• removal of a weed species

Old trees to be removed

Animals have been front and centre of Wendy Parish’s life since she was a child growing up on her parents’ dairy farm near Colac in south-west Victoria.

Today, as a university student, animals still rule the roost.

Wendy is in the second year of a Bachelor of Agriculture, majoring in production animal health at the University of Melbourne.

On study breaks she’s home on the farm helping tend to the calves and feeding the cows.

“I think I prefer working with animals,” Wendy said. “I’ve always been around animals…sometimes they’re easier to understand than humans.”

Wendy hails from a large farm between Winchelsea and Dean’s Marsh which is home to a 500 strong Jersey dairy herd, along with a few hundred sheep plus some Angus beef cattle. She has her own Jersey stud and also a white Suffolk stud.

The farm, originally her grandparents, is now run by her parents Lyn and David and her uncle Paul.

One of five sisters, Wendy finds the farming lifestyle exhilarating. “We all enjoy it and help out on the farm where we can,” she said. “It’s a good family environment when you have to work together.”

Following that old cliché about being able to take the girl out of the country, but not the country out of the girl, moving to Melbourne for study hasn’t diluted her love of the land.

“I think I appreciate it more now,” she said. “I have to rent in Melbourne for uni but when I come home, the farm has clean, fresh air. There’s so much going on but it’s peaceful at the same time.”

The farm has “a bit of everything,” although it’s dairy that remains Wendy’s favourite.

“I prefer dairy, but I’m not a milker,” she admits. “I like helping in the calf shed. When I’m home from uni I like feeding the calves, rearing them and feeding the heifers out in the paddock,” she said.

If she’s biased against doing the milking, she’s also biased towards Jerseys.

“We’ve always had Jerseys and I’m a bit biased to them,” Wendy said. “They’re peaceful and calm and like to come up for a

pat and scratch. They’ll head butt you too, if you don’t scratch them.”

This love of animals is something Wendy notices throughout the dairy industry and she supports the Legendairy communications initiative to raise the profile and reputation of the industry.

“Most farmers look after their animals before they look after themselves. They go to their animals even before they have breakfast,” Wendy said.

“Animals are the livelihood of farmers; you have to look after them to be producing money and your animals always come first.”

This attitude helped her decision making when it came to further study, although her end point career still remains a mystery.

“I knew I wanted to be in agriculture and I’ve always enjoyed animals and genetics, nutrition and the animal welfare side of things, but I still don’t really know where I want to be within the industry,” she said.

Wendy recently completed a two-week industry placement at the Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Scheme (ADHIS), and while that was an enjoyable experience, it hasn’t made her choice any clearer.

“There are so many more options that I didn’t even know existed before I went there. I might keep studying after my degree and go into research.

During her placement, Wendy went to the Victorian Winter Fair at Bendigo to speak to farmers about the new ADHIS Australian breeding indices.

“They were all Holstein breeders up there so I had a few trying to convince me that Jersey cows are no good, but they didn’t change my mind,” she said.

Despite their different breed preferences, the farmers were receptive to new ideas.

“They were happy to talk to me about their experience and how they breed animals,” Wendy said. “The majority were positive and gave great advice and feedback.

“Farmers want to learn new things to improve their system, which will improve their income and the welfare of their animals, so it’s good to get the research out to them.

“After all, your animals always come first.”

Felt the cold in your bones lately? Rushed to pile on extra layers? Ever been too long in the big smoke? Can’t get home fast enough into the garden or the bush to recover your sense of humour? Too long in that hospital bed? You start to feel better once you are tucked up in your own bed. Even a long exotic holiday has you cranky at the airport delays. You want to get home to the comfort of your own world and food.

Imagine if you couldn’t get home.

At the WRSL club room in the WWW2 photo gallery two of the faces that look out from under slouch hats catch my eye.

One looks for all the world my uncle Don - a face of that era. The other looks like he might open the batting for Australia - Vice Captain even. Funny, cos these two lads are Warners. A clan likeness perhaps.

My uncles Bob and Don came home. They thought they were blessed to end their days by the Barwon.

Bertie and Jack Warner ended their days as prisoners of war not knowing if they would ever get home. Ill, under feed, over worked, concerned for family at home, for family and mates with them, keeping them alive, watching them die. These boys never saw the Barwon again, knew

the freedom of the bush, ate good Aussie tucker. The brothers had three days leave in Singapore together before they were captured. I hope they made the most of it. They were apart when they died. Jack in Burma. Bertie in Sandakan. Bertie died on a forced death march. Jack died of starvation and disease. Family never saw them again. They didn’t have the modern luxury of travelling to their war graves.

Remember how peckish you were last time you missed a meal. Have you ever declared “I’m starving to death…when do we eat?”

Only a handful came out of Sandakan. As a mark of respect they made a pact not to talk of what happened to some there. They only revealed it in recent years when they direct descendents of those men had passed on.

Kevin Bennett will bring these fellows to life with stories from his childhood. A simple but hard life when young Kevin would be allowed to go bush with Jackie and Bertie. A time when these young men were a fine example to a young lad when family put the substance, meaning and emotion into life. Good, honest, hardworking men.

You are busy with this modern lifestyle and all of its stresses. Sometimes we think we are on hard times. Will you take the time, perhaps over a brew, to think of these men or to pass on their story? Their memory only remains while we remember them. Tell your family’s story, listen to a friend or call in at WRSL and have Kevin share the tales he knows or talk to our veterans.

Seventy years on as the Aussies gather at Sandakan WRSL salutes all POW’s. We struggle to comprehend it but we will remember them.

On Wed 12th August, Fack Free Moriac presented a submission to the Planning and Environment Committee on unconventional gas. We are deeply concerned about the licence that sits over the surfcoast and parts of the Geelong shires. Our presentation was a personal one, but explained our stance had come from unlimitless amounts of research. The committee heard from other equally concerned local groups, that this industry could not only industrialise the landscape of our towns, but the clean and green reputation we have in the surfcoast hinterlands. The committee will release an interim report soon, but we were impressed by the knowledge they had gathered and their clear understanding that there was no longer a social licence for this industry.

Following is the presentation that we used at the Torquay hearing.

Transcript of Frack Free Moriac’s submission to Committee, Torquay hearing, 12/08/2015

Thank you to the committee for inviting Frack Free Moriac to speak today. We would like to give you some background on Frack Free Moriac and happy to answer any questions you may have. My name is Alison, I am a mum of two and Damien, my husband is a local plumber.

Back in November 2013, The Moriac community held a public meeting at the local school, to inform local residents of the implications Petroleum licence PEP163, could have on the area. Experts informed locals of their legal rights under Victorian legislation, the process of exploring and extracting tight or Shale gas, risks and unknowns associated with the Industry.

From that night dedicated volunteers, started the community group, Frack Free Moriac, which would see the next few years being very busy.

The first steps taken, by Frack Free Moriac, were to inform the WHOLE community with an informational flyer drop, to each household in the 3240 postcode. And from there, we started to survey our towns, asking residents one question ‘Do you want your land to be Gasfield Free?’ Many volunteers

gave up their time, spent hours talking to neighbours, collecting data and attending meetings.

In September 2014 the residents of Moriac, Mt Moriac, Paraparap and Freshwater Creek democratically declared themselves gas field free. Each town had an overwhelming results.

Moriac -97% Mt Moriac – 96% Paraparap – 92% Freshwater creek – 93% all wished to declare their town gasfield free.

Our declaration was attended by local Surfcoast Mayor , councillors, State MLC, candidates for the upcoming State election, Liberal Federal MP Sarah Henderson and Greens Leader Senator Richard Di Natali

It was a day of celebration, to celebrate our remarkable towns. The gathering included all sections of the community. And we are not alone. 100’s of volunteers and groups have done exactly what we have done and now over 60 Victorian communities have clearly stated there is no social licence. The people have declared they do not want this industry in Victoria.

Now what is at stake, why did so many wish to remain gasfield free? The Surfcoast area is not only one of the top Victorian Tourist areas, but also boasts the best fertile agricultural land. In the heart of PEP163 we have, wineries, berry farms, cattle studs, farmers cropping, horse studs, eco tourist accommodation, award winning restaurants all to the entrance of the Great Ocean Road. Quaint communities like Moriac have a general store, small school, church and all enjoyed by residents who love the quiet rural lifestyle. In comparison to Queensland, Farms here are small and any development within farming communities, will no doubt, have an affect across many of their neighbours.

From day one, ordinary people, like myself have dedicated their time to this cause, to ensure a better future for coming generations. Frack Free Moriac has been very careful and deliberate with the information it uses and sends out via social media or email. Industry and pro gas individuals, try to paint us as misinformed, but frankly this is insulting. We use sources such as Independent Expert Scientific Committee, CSIRO, Government departments, Lock the Gate, Dr. of the Environment, even APPEA. And just as these

experts have all told you, via submissions and hearings, that this industry comes with risks. Risks, that towns like mine are not willing to accept.

Moriac and Gasfields free communities in Victoria, do not wish to live within a gasfield. It’s not a pretty picture, living with drilling wells, flares, noisy construction sites, trucking traffic, while being anxious about the impacts it is having on us all. Property values impacted, enduring access agreements, towns transforming into mining towns.

Frack Free Moriac is a proud group of concerned residents who, have found themselves passionate about a cause they wish they didn’t have to fight. A struggle that has taken too much of their time, and needs to be ended with a ban.

Today, we wanted to give you all, insight on how it feels to live with a licence over your home and your family. The stress it has put on individuals and communities. The simple understanding that this industry come with risks and communities will not accept these risks. And those risks, even acknowledged by APPEA and Professor Cook a few weeks ago, cannot be mitigated completely.

Some have accused us of using emotional language, however when it is our homes, families and towns being affected, it very quickly becomes emotive. It is this emotion that drives us to become more informed about this topic. Just as all you are doing now, we have, for the past 2 years, been looking at the facts. You have heard and read reports from experts like Tim Forcey and Dr Matthew Currell and even Barwon Water today, they have all told you that the precautionary approach is needed. We don’t need to rush into this, the only people rushing, are the gas companies, and why is that? MONEY. This is a dash for cash at our towns expensive. Yes this is an emotional charged position, but an educated one.

Thank you for giving us the time to speak to you all today, and we would like to finish with a question. Just like we asked our community,

would you be willing to live with a gasfield on your land?

If not, how can you expect others too?

Surf Coast Shire Council has praised community advocacy to seek an ongoing ban on the unconventional gas industry in Victoria after parliamentary committee hearings held in Torquay last week.

A number of residents, academics and community groups presented to the inquiry after Council put its submission that the industry posed too great an environmental, social and economic risk to the region.

These findings have been largely reiterated in a recently-released Auditor General’s report, Unconventional Gas: Managing Risks and Impacts, which found that Victoria is not prepared to respond

to potential risks should the current moratorium on the unconventional gas industry be lifted.

Mayor, Cr Margot Smith, said there was no place on the Surf Coast for an unconventional gas industry.

“Council has adopted a strong resolution detailing our opposition to the unconventional gas industry as we share the widely held view in our community that the risks are simply too great,” Cr Smith said.

“Everything we have on the Surf Coast is built on our environment – that includes

our agricultural and tourism industries and the many benefits our residents have from living in such a beautiful place.

“The science we do have access to suggests an unconventional gas industry puts all this at risk. We also understand that any economic benefits from such an industry would accrue outside the communities in which gas mining or exploration happens which is all the more reason to stand up for our community.

“It was great to see the community’s effort to present to the parliamentary inquiry last week and the continued work that has been done around the shire to put forward local views on the issue.

“There is no place for an unconventional gas industry here and we call on the Victorian Government to extend the moratorium into an outright ban.”

Mayor, Cr Margot Smith, reiterated calls for the Minister for Energy and Resources not to renew a hydrocarbon exploration permit that now covered many Surf Coast communities when it expires later this year.

“Council has passed motions in the chamber asking the Minister not to renew PEP163. This would give communities important certainty and security and I commend the Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos for raising the issue in Parliament.”

Cr Smith said Council supported renewable energy investment and would continue to look at opportunities to promote local renewable energy generation that fit in with the local environment.

“There is great potential for renewable energy generation on the Surf Coast and we see our region as having a significant role in supporting the Victorian Government’s renewable energy target.

“Local Government has an important leadership role to play in fostering sustainable renewable energy generation that promotes local jobs and environmental benefits. We look forward to exploring these opportunities with our communities.”

Public Consultations Begin Across VictoriaChair of the Independent Inquiry into the EPA, Penny Armytage today kicked off an extensive public consultation program across the State, releasing a public Discussion Paper, schedule of public consultations, and an interactive website calling on all Victorians to have their say on the future of the EPA.

Ms Armytage and Ministerial Advisory Committee members Jane Brockington and Janice van Reyk will host the series of public consultation meetings in 10 regional and 7 metropolitan areas across Victoria between now and 31 October 2015.

In coming days they will also meet with around 100 representatives across industry, environment groups and local government in a schedule of roundtable discussions.

The Discussion Paper will form the basis for the consultations and highlights a series of issues for exploration as the Inquiry progresses. Key themes include land use planning, public health, emergency management, climate change and better regulatory approaches. The Inquiry will also explore matters related to how the EPA can effectively consult with the community.

The interactive website www.epa-inquiry.vic.gov.au for the Inquiry went live today with discussion threads, registration for public consultation meetings and ways to make online and written submissions.Public consultation meetings will be held in Wodonga, Shepparton, Werribee, Warrnambool, Coburg, Bairnsdale, Traralgon, Richmond, Horsham, Ballarat, Bendigo, Frankston, Geelong, Sunshine, Dandenong, Ringwood and Mildura.

The Inquiry will report to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water by 31 March 2016.Ms Armytage said Victoria’s population was projected to increase from 5.5 million in 2011 to 10 million by 2015, which was a significant challenge facing the EPA in addition to the changing environment, technology developments, and the community’s expectations of government.

Copies of the discussion paper can be downloaded from the website.

A lively discussion regarding priorities for the 2016-17 Surf Coast Shire budget was had at last weeks Growing Winchelsea Inc. meeting.We agreed to the following projects, and now need to prioritise them for presentation to Council by November.

1.Provision of long vehicle parking in the shopping centre car park and increased car parking for shopping centre.

2. Provision of free Wi-Fi in the shopping area.

3. RV friendly parking.

4. ‘Village feel’ landscaping for shopping centre.

5. Footpaths.

6. Direction signage around new toilet block to direct traffic back to the highway.

7. Direction signs to local attractions and facilities along new highway through town.

8. Robert Earl described a pathway project that he was discussing with Heather Wellington for the south-west side of the bluestone bridge. It would run from under the bluestone bridge up to the shopping area. Rocks would be used as a retaining wall to enhance the path.

Winchelsea Common The Winchelsea Common was another issue raised. A general feeling of lack of

knowledge of Council’s decision making as well as future plans was evident.

It was suggested that we write to Council asking for the disclosure of plans and reports by Council, Worksafe and the EPA, and also to ask for disclosure to the public of plans to reinstate the common to community use.

It was pointed out that the Go-Kart Club still has a 2-year lease in place for their portion of the common, and would like to see the club able to resume use of the land. They have a quote of $20,000 to reinstate the track.

It was decided to ask for an officer from Surf Coast Shire to attend our next meeting and explain the events leading up to the closure, and what actions and what timeframe is in place to re-open the Common for public use.

Councillor Heather Wellington informed us that Julian Burnside will give a talk on refugees on Sunday November 8 at 2pm. Venue to be announced.

Another topic for Winchelsea residents is the Gun Club predicament following the closure of their range on the Winchelsea Common due to ground polution. They appealed a rejected permit to use land at Armytage Road, Ombersley for their meetings, which was recently rejected by VCAT. A suggestion that the disused Anglesea Coal Mine could be a potential site will be discussed at the next Council meeting.

Thomas Austin Dinner A dinner is proposed to celebrate the 200th birthday of Thomas Austin. It will be in November for around 30+ people and cost in the vicinity of $200 per head. More details will be provided when decided.

RV Submission A Cultural Management Heritage plan may be required for the area envisaged for the caravan parking, which is likely to cost in the region of $30,000. Council is hoping to be able to conform to the requirements without incurring these costs. There has been an issue raised regarding vegetation in the area concerned. In 2002 Basalt Pepper-cress plants were discovered. It is hoped that these issues can be resolution by years end.

Winchelsea Sportspersons Awards We are hoping to re-establish these awards, in association with ERCOM (Eastern Reserve Committee of Management). Watch this space.

Website The new website of Growing Winchelsea Inc. is almost ready to go live. Announcements will be made in The Star when the site is up and running.

Next meeting Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the next meeting, which is on September 9, at Eastern Reserve, beginning at 6pm. All positions will be vacant. If you have an interest in the development of Winchelsea, why not join our committee and make a difference?

Annual Inter-church dinner – Friday August 28th at 6.00pm in the Uniting Church Hall. Entry $15, Guest speakers – Phil & Carol Short, missionaries with SIM in Niger, Africa.

Worship on Sunday August 30th at 9.30am – John Bumford (Combined service with St. Thomas’s).

John Bumford

St John’sCongratulations to all of the Mass centres in the Parish of St Joseph’s, who contributed to the 140 years celebration of our Parish. Each church organised celebration in their centres which then culminated in the Special Mass celebration at St Joseph’s Meredith, last Sunday. Bishop Peter Connors was our main celebrant, with Father Kevin Dillon, Father Mick Fitzpatrick, Father Maurice Barry and our own Father Herman who all concelebrated the Mass. It was a very special occasion to have so many priests in our church.

Parishioners from every corner of the parish came together in a team effort to extend to all our visitors true country hospitality. A display of historical photos and memorabilia along with an audio visual display all added atmosphere to the occasion. The beautiful food for afternoon tea allowed our visitors to enjoy good country cooking. Thank you to everyone who helped in any way.

A raffle is being conducted in conjunction with the 140th celebrations and to assist with the cost of the occasion. Tickets are available at the back of the church. Tickets are $1 and there are three prizes to be won.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart, our Holy Hour will be held at St Brigid’s Anakie on Thursday August 27th at 7.30pm

Winchelsea’s Annual Inter Church dinner will be held at the Uniting Church in Hesse Street, on this coming Friday evening at 6pm. We will have casseroles and desserts, lovingly prepared by the members of our three churches. Tea and coffee, & water will be available. The cost for the evening is $15 per person.

Local community members and missionaries, Phil & Carol Short will be the guest’s speakers. Phil and Carol have travelled extensively in their work, and I am sure that they will have many interesting stories to tell us. Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there.

Until next time, God Bless. Marg Bushell

This is a question which might be relevant to the guest speakers at this coming Friday night’s inter-church annual dinner.

Phil & Carol Short (who live at Buckley when not on missionary duties) have been in active missionary service since graduating from the Melbourne Bible Institute (MBI), for the past 40 years, and spend some brief times in between at their property not 12kms from town to rest and refresh. They are long term workers in the southern Sahara country of Niger, with the SIM organisation, (Serving in Mission), sharing the Christian gospel with the nomadic natives, and offering practical help (Carol is a trained nurse), and facing the grim challenges of life in a predominantly Muslim country. Over the past 12 months, stories of kidnapping of school girls and the burning of Christian churches have occurred in the area where Phil & Carol work, perpetrated by Boko Haran extremists. They can share with us their personal story of Christian missionary work at the coal face in the 21st century, and

of how the gospel is being presented with new technology, and how nomadic tribes people respond to the message they hear.

Their talk naturally will be preceded by a sumptuous Casserole tea and sweets provided by the members of our 3 churches in Winchelsea.

The event is being hosted this year by the Uniting Church, and will commence at 6.00pm. The cost is $15, all of which will go towards the cost of providing materials for the teaching of Christian Education in our local Primary School.

All are welcome to come and partake of this shared meal, and to hear Phil & Carol share their story: so timely with so much news coming from that part of Africa in recent days.Pictured: Phil & Carol Short in front of a photo of a native herder in Niger, pictured in their lounge room at Buckley

From cover.

It was quite a sight to see 80 motor bikes turn up in the Senior Citizens car park, such a variety of bikes and riders, certainly something Winchelsea doesn’t see very often. They certainly don’t rough it these days, heated seats and handlebars, cruise control, GPS, the works, some of them worth more than a small car.

They will be visiting Lions Clubs all along their journey and their one request was no sausages!! Apparently in past years that is all they have been fed morning noon and night, so we served delicious salad rolls, Lions Christmas cake, tea, coffee and soft drink. They all paid for their lunch but the Lions Club donated a large percentage back to their cause.

I think there were a few frustrated bikies among our members, a lot of bike envy. I even heard a couple of them say “Hmm might do that next year”

With over 4000 plants to be planted in the next 3 weeks, members of the landcare group were out on Sunday morning inspecting the sites and allocating planting areas. The river bank clearing and revegetation is a project which the group commenced over 15 years ago and the improvement to the river frontages is welcomed by the community.

If you would like to assist with this ongoing community project there are 2 planting days when you are welcome to come along and give a hand. Both days meeting at the river end of Batson St

Winchelsea Probus Club’s outing this month was to Rippon Lea to see the Miss Fisher Exhibition. Many of you will have seen the ABC production, the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, set in Mebourne in the 1920’s, and will be familiar with Miss Fisher and her elegant lifestyle as a self appointed super sleuth. Her companion Dot, her very English Aunt Prudence whose residence happens to be Rippon Lea. The crime fighting Detective Inspector Jack Robinson with whom she conducts a long standing unspoken romance and Dot’s fiancée Constable Hugh Collins.

We were taken into this world by viewing all the elegant gowns and immaculately

tailored day wear and accessories of Miss Fisher and the other characters. Her sumptuous jewellery and pearl handled pistol. Some of us got into the spirit of things by playing dress up in costumes of the day, enormous coats with luxurious fur collars, beaded gowns and frivolous headwear. Not to mention leather helmet and goggles, as she is also an accomplished aviatrix (naturally)

We were treated to a delicious lunch followed by scones, jam and cream and English breakfast tea. Perhaps served not quite as elegantly as Miss Fisher would have liked.

Rippon Lea is a luxurious mansion complete with ballroom and art deco

swimming pool. Built in 1868 originally sitting on 11 hectares and with 15 rooms for Sir Frederick Sargood, it now sits on 5.7 hectares of magnificent gardens in the heart of suburban Elsternwick.

Luckily it was a lovely sunny day so we were able to enjoy the gardens, fernery and lake. Our thanks once again to Les, Noreen and Bryan for organising a wonderful day and our coach captain John for getting us there and back safely. John must know every nook and cranny of everywhere we go, it amazes me how he can manoeuvre that bus into some of the tight spaces that he does.

Letter to the EditorHi could please put in the following THANK YOU to the Winchelsea Horticultural members and the sponsors, for a wonderful show on Saturday.

I decided to “ have a go” and enter some of my flowers and photos into this years show.

Well I was stunned to find out of my 11 entries in the floral section. Came home with 5 firsts 4seconds, Special award runner up novice camellia, Best exhibit for my banksia, cut flower. Coming in third overall with the floral section.

Then my photos, came home with two firsts, AND Best Exhibit with one of Camey’s photos.

An independent phone survey of Surf Coast ratepayers seeking feedback on the need for an aquatic and health centre and the funding model proposed through Testing the Water has been completed. The random survey has been organised to provide a snapshot of views from across the Surf Coast, including non-permanent residents. Council looks forward to releasing a report on the findings of the survey shortly – keep an eye on your inbox or Council’s website for details.

There will be lots of opportunities for our whole community to have a say during September – with more information online at www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/testingthewater. Meanwhile, comments that have been lodged with Council via email and social media have also been recorded.

It’s less than two weeks until the Testing the Water community forums start! If you haven’t already done so, you can register to attend a community forum by emailing [email protected]. Details are as follows:

Got a question about Testing the Water? Check the frequently asked questions on our website. Here are some of the most common questions we’ve been asked this week:

What is a special charge scheme? A special charge scheme is an extra charge that is in addition to the annual rates bill. Special charges schemes are used to raise funds to build infrastructure and are most commonly used to fund footpaths or roads. They allow councils to charge properties differently according to the benefit received from the project. So a special charge scheme for a footpath is typically levied on property owners adjoining or living close to the new footpath. The financial model presented as part of this consultation proposes that a special charge scheme would be used to fund the building of an aquatic and health centre in recognition of the greater benefit people living closer to the centre would be likely to receive.

Will every ratepayer be expected to pay? If Council decides to proceed with building an Aquatic and Health Centre and a special charge scheme is adopted, every Surf Coast property would pay the charge. These charges would be lower for properties

located further away from the facility. Should Council decide to declare a special charge scheme, there would be additional opportunities for affected ratepayers to comment on the charge itself.

Has Council applied for state or federal government grants? When applying for grant funding it is necessary for Councils to demonstrate that all other funding is committed. It would be premature to seek government funding for this proposal as Council is not clear on the community’s views about the project and therefore no funds are committed. The funding model estimates 25% of construction costs would come from state or federal government grants, a figure based on benchmarking of aquatic projects elsewhere in Victoria in recent years. Different sized developments typically achieved grant funding of 25%. It is worth noting that the maximum figure available through the State Government Better Pools funding program is $3m, which means around $4m would need to come from other grant programs.

How would Council meet the ongoing costs of running the facility? Aquatic and Health facilities involve significant running costs. The Aquatic and Leisure Centre Taskforce’s report found the Surf Coast proposal would have running costs of up to $1m per year. To meet this, the financial model proposes a rate rise of around 2.75% that starts in the first year of the centre’s operation to fund part of the ongoing cost of running the facility. This same rate percentage increase would apply to all ratepayers.

The $1m figure constitutes is the average annual operating cost over the first 10 years of the facility. It covers the anticipated operating loss (i.e. revenue less expenditure), costs associated with the maintenance of a company limited by guarantee model (refer to the Taskforce report for more information on this) and an allowance for keeping the building in good condition including renewal works as it ages. This last point is not strictly a full coverage of depreciation but rather reflects the need for Council to generate funds to ensure the building can continue to operate effectively.

Before I do my teeth I eat my tea. Preston Selvidge - Prep

Tyrannosaurus Rex by Charlie Phelps Gr 1/2

Tyrannosaurus Rex has a short name called T Rex.

T Rex is a meat eater which is called a carnivore.

T Rex has little arms. A T Tex is as long as a truck.

A T Rex is taller than a giraffe.

T Rex had big hind legs for running.

T Rex killed other dinosaurs to eat. It is a predator. I like T Rex because it looks cool and it has big sharp teeth.

Tyrannosaurus Rex By Lucy Kennedy Gr 1/2

A Tyrannosaurus Rex was the biggest meat eater and it was fierce. Sometimes it was called T Rex for short. It was the king of the dinosaurs.

It had very sharp claws, small arms and its tail helps it balance It was 14 metres long and 5 metres high and had a big head. It had teeth the size of bananas and huge jaws.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex was found in North America, in the woodlands about 70 million years ago.

It sneaks up on plant eating dinosaurs and kills them then runs away. It is a predator.

I do not like this dinosaur because it sounds scary! And it could tear other dinosaurs to bits! And it was a carnivore!

I welcome the Prime Minister’s announcement that $1 million will be contributed to establish a national ‘Dob in a Dealer’ campaign.

This campaign will make a real difference to community efforts to reduce ice-related crime.

Community members will be able to report dealers of illegal drugs to a hotline for referral to police, modelled on the successful ‘Crime Stoppers’ initiative.

This is in addition to $18 million announced last week to strengthen the Australian Crime Commission’s ability to detect and prevent

the supply of drugs on to our shores.

As we saw at the Geelong Region Ice Summit, support from the community is essential in the fight against ice.

Feedback from the Summit was passed directly to the National Ice Taskforce, led by Ken Lay APM - former Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police.

The National Ice Taskforce recently released its interim report which focused on six key areas to guide work toward the development of the National Ice Action Strategy which include:

• focusing law enforcement actions;

• targeting primary prevention;

• improving access to early intervention, treatment and support services;

• supporting local communities to respond;

• improving tools for frontline workers; and

• improving and consolidating research and data.

Increased funding for access to treatment and support services in particular is so important in Corangamite; where organisations such as Foundation 61 and the Salvation Army are doing great work.

I will continue to advocate at the highest levels for more funding to be made available.

15 & Under Bell Post Hill 25 def Winchelsea 22

We started our finals campaign with the 15 & Under team on Saturday. Having a second chance and not having beaten Bell Post Hill before we had nothing to loose. Unfortunately a nervous start had Bell Post Hill take a four goal lead in the first five minutes. We fought hard all game to peg this back but the margin remained pretty similar all game. Our defenders provided great turnovers and gave us plenty of opportunities but Bell Post Hill’s strong defence saw us make hard work of attacking and scoring. We ended up with a three goal loss but have even more confidence if we get the chance to play Bell Post Hill again because if we get the jump next time we are confident we can take the win.

Best Players : Beth Connors-Southall, Issy Loone and Ebony Berg

A Grade Elimination FinalWinchelsea 50 def Bannockburn 40

In an elimination final we knew we had to put everything out there and we did. We got the jump on Bannockburn early with patient and strong attack. When we started to turnover a few balls in attack our defenders sent it back for another opportunity, with captain Janelle Birch leading from Goal Defence. We kept a steady margin until the half and then pushed it out in the 3rd quarter to be faced with two defensive injuries in a short period of time. This lead to a reshuffle and some unsettled play but we were able to hang in there and take a comfortable lead.

We look forward to facing off against neighbours Inverleigh next week. Go Blues!

Best Players: Chloe Wilson, Janelle Birch and Taylor Hardiman

A steering committee has been set up with a view to establishing a Winchelsea campus under the umbrella of U3A Surf Coast.

A 4 week embroidery class is already under way on Monday afternoons at the Senior Citizens 1pm-3pm. An official launch is planned for the beginning of term 4 in early October. Everyone will be invited and there will be a very interesting speaker.

Normal membership is $50 per annum which entitles you to attend any class or lecture within the Surf Coast, currently there are 15 classes and lectures running

in Torquay and a new campus being established in Anglesea. Classes are conducted within the school terms. However it has been decided that any Winchelsea and district resident will be made an honorary member for the remainder of 2015 and entitled to attend any class in Winchelsea.

The committee is very interested to hear what classes you would like to attend and anyone willing to be a tutor on any subject; because without tutors we cannot hold classes.

For any enquiries please contact Linda Carter on 52672261 or 0439817263

Last Thursday night was the final night of the Net Set Go program run by the WFNC. Approximately 30 girls were presented with a participation certificate, medal and a voucher for a kids meal at the Blues Bistro. The program has been developed to provide children from 5 to 10 years with the best possible learning and playing experience to develop a positive introduction to netball.

Many thanks goes to the two coaches of

the program—Danielle Kuchenmeister and Bronnie Walker. These two ladies have been exceptional with our children. Not only have they developed ball handling and coordination skills, they have had great fun doing it.

I know both Danielle and Bronnie have work commitments and families of their own, so it is truly appreciated the time and effort they put into the program. The program is only a 10 week program, but

they have extended it to the end of the season giving the girls an extra 6 weeks of their time. Thank you both (and the club) for providing such an enjoyable activity for our children

To all of the volunteers at the football and netball club congratulations on the job you do. It’s wonderful to see this passion for our club and our community.
