Couta fleet fear BY KIM WATERS LOCALS fear a Parks Victoria promise of new moorings for Queenscliff’s historic couta boat fleet is “too little, to late”, according to a community representative. Queenscliff Community Association president Joan Kenwood said couta boat owners were priced out of their home after Parks Victoria handed over ownership of part of the wharf to Queenscliff Harbour. Ms Kenwood feared the promise of 28 new mooring sites on the west end of the wharf was “not enough” to keep the town’s couta boat fleet in Queenscliff, its home for more than a century. “That spot has been their home for many years and they shouldn’t have had to move in the first place, especially because of a price increase,” she said. “When the plans for the harbour initially came up this was what everyone was worried about and the couta boat owners were promised that they would be looked after but instead mooring fees were raised and the owners couldn’t pay them. “The whole thing has been a debacle and if Parks Victoria doesn’t set reasonable rates for these new moorings I wouldn’t be surprised if the couta boat owners leave the area.” Ms Kenwood said locals would “keep fighting” Parks Victoria’s plans to redevelop the wharf with $1.8 million of taxpayer funds. “The original harbour was built for local people, by local people and now half of it is privatised,” she said. “Parks Victoria is planning to redevelop the area with the community’s money and will then hand it over to the harbour.” A Parks Victoria spokesperson said the government body would give “first preference” for Queenscliff’s 28 new mooring sites to the town’s heritage and couta boat fleet. But the spokesperson would not confirm the annual cost of a new mooring site, saying it was an “alternative option” for boats previously moored at the harbour. “Parks Victoria is working closely with the community and the Borough of Queenscliff to develop the best options to improve the Fisherman’s Wharf site,” the spokesperson said. “Community input and consultation will continue between the project team, local government, interested community groups and individuals.”

Queenscliff brigade centenary celebration BY KIM WATERS QUEENSCLIFF Fire Brigade’s base is a far cry from the tin shed local firemen used in the station’s humble beginnings 100 years ago. These days a crew of more than 30 firefighters, including one woman, work at the modern station and have been sent all over Australia during some of the country’s most devastating bushfires. Former brigade secretary Bill Dalliday said locals would join past and present brigade members this weekend in a celebration marking the station’s centenary birthday. “The brigade was formed in July 1911 because the government passed an act to formalise the establishment of fire brigades in country Victoria,” Mr Dalliday said.

“Initially there were about 18 firemen and five officers but during the first and second world wars we lost a few.” Mr Dalliday said the station’s crew had attended hundreds of local and nationwide fires in its 100 years of service. “The most serious fire recorded in our local history was a 1927 one at what is now the Vue Grande, which burnt almost to the ground. “In the 1960s the brigade received a tanker and went up to the big fires in the Dandenong Ranges, which was the first time we helped out at fires in other areas.” A “dangerous” local arsonist gave the station grief in the 1970s, lighting fires in some of the town’s main buildings, Mr Dalliday remembered.

“Fires were deliberately lit in the public hall, the Queenscliff State School and the Queenscliff Hotel so the station had a lot to cope with at that time.” He said Queenscliff’s crew was well-known for its camaraderie. “We have active members who have been with Queenscliff brigade for 55 years and they get along really well with the younger kids we’ve had starting in the past five to 10 years. “The type of work they do and the way they have to trust each other really brings them close together.” Mr Dalliday said centenary open day celebrations on Sunday from 9.30am included Fire Ready Victoria meetings, a sausage sizzle, a jumping castle and face painting.

Activist missed BY KIM WATERS PORTARLINGTON residents are mourning the loss of “well known and much loved” local community activist Gillian Walker this week. Long time friend Christine Kelly said Ms Walker’s dedication to “hundreds” of community groups had inspired locals and kept “council and the government” accountable during her eight years in the area. “Gill had three major passions in public lifecare for and conserve all aspects of the environment, recognition and preservation of our history and a vigorous determination to ensure that decision makers in our lives are held accountable for their actions,” Ms Kelly said. “She brought energy and activism to all three.” Ms Kelly said the 77-year-old “eccentric” was a member of “too many local groups to keep count of”, including Friends of the Bellarine Hills, Geelong Environment Council, Portarlington dog walking association, local history groups and Geelong Field Naturalists. “She was a very staunch friend and an interesting character who will be sorely missed.”

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG’S port is appealing to State Government to provide facilities for bulk container trade that would inject millions of dollars every year into the local economy. But the government has indicated Victoria’s second largest port would be better to “maximise opportunities” in current grain, oil, aluminium and brake bulk trade. Instead, Hastings, on the Mornington Peninsula, attracting 200 ships a year, has been groomed as the next big container port to reduce predicted bottlenecks from container traffic. The high number of ships at the Port of Melbourne is often forced to queue for long periods before docking. Prime Minister Julia Gillard last week released the National Ports Strategy, which State Government will use to push through plans to develop Hastings over the next decade ahead of Geelong.

Port of Geelong business manager John Murray said a national strategy could strengthen Geelong’s cargo foothold. Government expects trade to quadruple up to eight million containers annually within the next 25-30 years. “Geelong is obviously a key stakeholder within the state and throughout the nation,” Mr Murray said. “We think it probably helps focus on the opportunities in Geelong, which may or may not be in containers. “We still believe there should be an assessment done for containers for the Port of Geelong and that wouldn’t necessarily preclude the State Government’s desire to develop Hastings as a container port long-term.” Mr Murray also said Geelong’s port has a 10-year plan that would ensure “our goals are included in the national picture”. Minister for Ports Denis Napthine said the government

would consult all operators and players, including Shell, Alcoa and the Victorian Regional Channels Authority on future plans for the region. “We will be working to make sure that we maximise opportunities for the Port of Geelong,” he said. Geelong would still obtain a “good share of general trade” from further expanding the channels to and from its port, Mr Napthine said. But developing Point Wilson as another port is “not in our plans at this stage”. Committee for Geelong had first backed plans to establish Point Wilson as an equivalent to the Port of Melbourne back in 2006. “With all ports, it’s always important to have an open mind on opportunities, but it’s not on the horizon,” Mr Napthine said.

in brief

Premier backs Geelong icon competition tition in the next month. “I strongly encourage designers entering the Icon for Geelong competition not to lose sight of Geelong’s core strengths - Corio Bay and the waterfront, the port, educational institutions and sport,” Mr Baillieu said. Geelong Professionals Alliance Network chairman Andrew Senia hinted early applications have focused on Geelong’s entrance, the waterfront and the bay. Mr Senia said a Geelong icon should “lift up our spirits”, but also provide a boost to the local economy. “There is a need for an icon in Geelong because we simply haven’t got one – something that will symbolise our hopes and aspirations for the future, which says something about where we come from in the past that will unite us,” he said. A “huge” cash prize will drive the search for an Icon for Geelong that is open to various concepts or design. The competition will run for about six months and be judged by members of local community organisations.

LIFE Saving Victoria has issued a warning to all parents and carers after seven toddlers drowned in Victoria last season. The organisation encouraged parents and carers to attend aquatic facilities participating in the ‘Watch Around Water’ program, aimed at assisting parents to actively supervise their children. Watch Around Water facilities in Geelong region include Waterworld, Kardinia Aquatic Centre, Splashdown, Leisurelink, Lara Swimming Pool and Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre.

Rail link shortlist THREE consortiums have been shortlisted to construct the $4.3 billion Regional Rail Link from Deer Park to West Werribee. They are Abigroup Thiess JV, Fulton Hogan, John Holland and Coleman Rail JV and Leighton Baulderstone JV. Each joint venture will be invited to submit fully costed proposals, with the final contract expected to be awarded to one of them in late 2011, according to the Federal Government. The Regional Rail Link is a joint project, with the Australian Government contributing $3.2 billion and Victorian Government a further $1.1 billion. Geelong trains will use the new rail corridor.

Parking fine drop Diabetes diagnosis change of machines resulted in “much improved” compliance rates. “We have had good feedback from motorists since the introduction of the new parking machines,” he said. Mr Scriggins said transferable tickets along with credit card payments at the new machines had reduced parking fines. Council still collected more than $4 million - or $12,897 a day - in parking infringements last year. Revenue rose steadily from $1.54 million in 2002/03 to $2.29 million in 2005/06, reaching $3.8 million by 2008/09. Mr Scriggins said revenue projections from paid parking were forecast to be almost $8 million this year, including $6,828,135 from on-street parking, a rise of more than $1 million.

SES worker shocked A VETERAN emergency worker has spoken about the devastation that confronted volunteers on arrival in floodravaged Queensland. Jan Jensen from Geelong SES and two colleagues from the South Barwon unit joined 20 other Victorian volunteers. Mr Jensen said authorities were unprepared for the onslaught of unexpected wild weather that hit several

rural Queensland towns. “There was nothing set up in preparation, there were no headquarters, so that all had to be organised first, just to get the equipment in,” Mr Jensen said “We were really dealing with one, small township but what’s happening up there is something on a scale we have never come across before,” he said.

no barrier to fun BY KIM WATERS A TRIP to the doctor for an injection is enough to make most kids and adults nervous, but for 11 year-old Ryley Dekker four insulin injections and four finger pricks a day are “just part of life”. Ryley said he had come a long way from his diagnosis of type-one diabetes and his first insulin injection in 2005 where “mum and four doctors had to hold me down so they could get the needle in”. “I’d been drinking heaps of water and feeling sick and then I found out that it was diabetes,” he said. “I now take an injection four times a day, before breakfast, lunch and dinner and then before bed, all through an insulin pen. “I also have to eat healthy, like fruit and vegetables.” Ryley insisted his diabetes wouldn’t stand in the way of action-packed adventures with 60 other diabetic kids at a Diabetes Australia summer camp this week. Sports-mad Ryley said the weeklong Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula camp was “a great idea”. “We’re doing different activities every day like surfing, rock climbing and canoeing.

“It’s great to be able to share stories with other kids who have diabetes and find out better ways to cope. “It’s really helped me and I’ve liked it that everybody eats the same because at school camps I have to eat healthier food than all the other kids.” Ryley described his diagnosis as “scary at first”. “It was hard to learn the first couple of years but you get used to it,” he laughed. “My brother is also diabetic and when he was diagnosed I helped a bit. “It’s easier at school now and everyone treats me normally, which is great.” Camp medic doctor Norla Neylon said kids could learn more about managing their diabetes from onsite health professionals and each other. “They learn about changing insulin injection sites, finger prick rotation and carbohydrate counting,” she said. “They derive a lot of support from being around other young people with diabetes too. “It’s a very positive experience for campers and leaders alike.”

Atlas moves AFTER 21 years on Geelong’s 93.9 BayFM, breakfast Anchor Laurie Atlas will leave for Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON NEW parking meters are robbing council’s coffers from hundreds of thousands of dollars in parking fines annually. The move two years ago to introduce the state-of-the-art machines forced City officers to review projected revenue for this financial year. Council had already estimated a drop from $4.37 million in 2009/2010 to $3.9 million after parking officers issued more than 1000 fewer notices. But the latest projections were “now considered unlikely to exceed $3.3 million”. The figure would be the lowest from city infringements since 2002. Fines had averaged a rise of $375,000 over the past decade. The City’s health and local laws acting manager Shane Scriggins said the

BY ANDREW MATHIESON VICTORIAN Premier Ted Baillieu has gone back to his roots to throw support behind developing a city icon to lift Geelong’s profile. The former architect has likened an upcoming Geelong design competition to the turning point in revitalising Melbourne’s once dour image. “I welcome the Icon for Geelong competition and look forward to creative proposals,” Mr Baillieu told the Independent. “I recall the landmark competition run by then Premier Rupert Hamer in the late 1970s, which 20 years later saw the development of Federation Square and led to the development of Melbourne’s Southbank.” Mr Baillieu had participated in the Melbourne landmark competition for Geelong-based architects McGlashan Everist. Geelong Professionals Alliance Network, which is facilitating the Icon for Geelong, plans to discuss the concept with Mr Baillieu to rally further government support. More than 30 designers have already expressed an interest before organisers officially launch its compe-

Rain records to be soaked system, which is the same process that’s causing the Queensland floods,” he said. “This doesn’t mean we’ll get the same amount of rain as up north but it is the same type of process.” Mr Smail said although La Nina weather patterns were “tricky” to predict, many parts of the world experienced two of them every 10 years. “It’s possible for them to go back to back and one or two weather models are suggesting this La Nina could be followed by another one later this year,” he said. “The law of averages is finally catching up with the drought.” Mr Smail said despite the ongoing rainfall Geelong could expect a warmer February. The city had recorded only four days above 30 degrees so far this summer, he said. “Normally by now Geelong’s had seven or eight days above 30 degrees but certainly in February we’ll get some warm and dry weather. It is summer time and we can’t change that.”

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG needs only another 22mm of rain to reach its highest January rainfall in more than three decades, according to a Geelong weather man. Lindsay Smail told the Independent if storms predicted for late this week opened the heavens again, rainfall could surpass 2005’s 92mm month. So far this month around 70mm has fallen on the region, he said. “All remains to be seen but in the next day or two Geelong is expecting a thunderstorm that could take the rainfall levels over,” he said. “A 70mm rainfall, that’s not going to break any records, but if we go over 92mm Geelong will experience the wettest January in 30 years.” Geelong’s wettest January on record recorded 143mm in 1886 followed by 122mm in 1981. Mr Smail said Geelong’s rainfall had been caused by the same weather system battering much of Queensland. “February and March are expected to be part of this wet we have at the moment due to the La Nina

A LIFE LIVED TO THE FULL

Taylor’s treasured family time BY KIM WATERS BIRTHDAY parties are always a treasured memory for parents. But for the Wood family, daughter Taylor’s sixth milestone next week means “so much more” than the celebration of another year. Taylor was diagnosed with Lissencephaly, a rare brain formation disorder, when she was six months old. Mother Michele Wood said a neurologist told the family that Taylor had a life expectancy of 10 years, would never walk or talk and would require 24-hour care. Ms Wood described Taylor as “the joy of our lives” but said it was a “constant struggle” to look after her. “We really treasure each moment with her and she’s such a happy little girl,” she said. “But it’s a constant struggle for us and we can’t go on holidays or anything, we didn’t even have any respite for the first three years but now I get about three hours a week to myself.

“We don’t go out much and we haven’t been out for dinner in years so it’s taken a toll on my partner and I. “Last night she was struggling to breathe because she’d got her face into the sheets and if I hadn’t heard that....well you just always sleep with one ear open.” Ms Wood said costs associated with respite, physio, and Taylor’s special equipment was “constantly stacking up”. “Respite is really expensive and Taylor’s carers need special training,” she said. The family also miss out on special school funding because they have to home-school Taylor. Ms Wood said it was “difficult” to find out what funding the family was entitled too. “There are a lot of mums out there in the same position and it’s so difficult trying to find out what you’re entitled too and then applying for it while taking care of your child.” “Any funding or help or information from anyone would be so appreciated.”

Links plans “amicable” FREE TALK BY KIM WATERS PLANS for residential development and a nine-hole golf course on the former Geelong Golf Club site are likely to be resolved without a Victorian Civil Admin-istrative Tribunal hearing, according to a developer spokesperson. Links Living spokesperson Ron Smith said the company had submitted a revised proposal to Geelong council for the site late last year and were “waiting for council approval”. The plan is the fifth for the site since Links Living took over the

club and locked out members in 2003. A new Links Living website included a tool for buyers to register their interest in “acquiring a site”, despite plans lacking formal council approval. “At this stage, the only way you can purchase one of the limited number of home sites is to formally register your interest with us and wait for an invitation,” the website said. The Independent revealed in October that City officers and Links Living had agreed a new draft plan was required. City of Greater Geelong’s Peter

Bettess said Links Living submitted a “revised proposal” for the site on December 8. He said council officers were preparing a report on the plan, which would go before council within the next four weeks. Cowie ward councillor Eddy Kontelj said residents were “frustrated” with “changing” plans for the site. “The community may want to see more open space or the developer may want more development on the site but we’ve come to a point where it’s pretty amicable,” Cr Kontelj said.

BY ERIN PEARSON SURF COAST actress Catherine Hancock will rub shoulders with Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acting elite next week after scoring an internationally acclaimed scholarship. Ms Hancock, who grew up in Torquay and attended Bellbrae Primary School and Grovedale High School, said the scholarship would enable her to work with teachers who discovered celebrities such as Rose Byrne, Felicity Huffman, Jessica Alba and Matthew Fox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite daunting the calibre of teachers I will be working with David Mamet and William H. Macy run the Atlantic Acting School Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be attending,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Hancock recently returned to Australia after a six-week intensive acting course in New York City for the Atlantic schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prerequisite. She was the only successful international candidate to receive the scholarship. In her most recent taste of the Big Apple, the actress shot short feature films and signed up as the face of an international advertising campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in New York I was doing one or two film and television auditions every day because the multitude of work is massive over there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acting studios are really responsive to Australians which is great to see.â&#x20AC;? Ms Hancock made her television debut when she was just a child with a lead role on the Channel 9 childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program Pigs Breakfast.

Crowded night market BY ANDREW MATHIESON ORGANISERS are bracing for crowds to double just two years since first launching the Geelong night markets. The inaugural market in 2008 attracted an average close to 5000 visitors each night. But Geelong night market’s Misti Dullard said early market research indicated that 40,000 would pack into the Johnstone Park site this month. Estimates from stallholders had crowd numbers reach 6000 for last week’s opening. “What we find is a lot of people are away at this time so we would expect the numbers would increase by each week now,” she said.

Ms Dullard said Queen Victoria market staff, who run the Geelong event, have been working to “get the word out” through Tourism Victoria marketing campaigns. “So we would envisage the event would now have an equal attraction both to tourists and locals,” she said. She believed the Geelong night markets were now a “recognised” top event on the region’s calendar. Feedback and further market research from both traders and visitors would be the catalyst for more dates next summer, she said. A further increase this year on 80 stalls would include the largest number of Geelong traders. The first year attracted only 50 stallholders.

costs a lot,” she said. “Our vehicle has become a key part of our operations but we need to raise funds to ensure we can keep it on the road all year round.” Mrs Forbes, who is also Archer’s mother, said many World War II veterans were housebound or suffered mobility issues. “We’re certainly hoping to raise a minimum of $5000 to help us for a year or so and if we could get two years raised that would be marvelous,” she said.

A simple way for job seekers and employers to come together

Switch: For a short-lived rapper, 31-year-old Dave Thornton still makes a pretty good comedian.

Local Legends ANDREW MATHIESON HOLDING a conversation with comedian Dave Thornton is like sitting back in one of his audiences. He’s always on no matter what. Having neither stage, microphone, nor a few loosening drinks beforehand presents no barrier. Every remark is accompanied by a comeback or a funny one-liner. From the moment he picks up the phone, Dave plays down his growing fame in the midst of rehearsals at a TV studio. “I thought you rang to ask me if I had the number of someone else important,” he firstly quips. So adept at playing the jobbing funnyman, Dave cries poor about not getting get paid a cent at some of his gigs – or so he says. But other times booking agents are eager to fly the Geelong boy to New York, Montreal and Edinburgh to mix with comedy greats. Harping back to years studying at the Gordon Institute of TAFE, he insists graphic design work was forced to subsidise his earlier stand-up act. Dave shapes to rustle his pockets for change. They’re clean empty. “Do you guys need some freelance work down at the Independent?” he then asks. But winning an amateur night that earned Dave an opportunity to perform at the 2002 Melbourne International Comedy Festival made the career change easier. “It is very rare that you knock off a newspaper ad and there are 80 people behind you clapping, saying ‘good work there’,” he explains. “So it makes comedy a bit more rewarding than (graphics) work.” Making people laugh comes natural to Dave. The one-time class clown at Belmont High, he is quick to praise his father and his early years around

the family home. They would sit down watching cartoons together and would often replicate silly Marx brothers’ moves. “I wish I had a really cool story for you,” Dave apologises to the Independent. “I wish there was some comedy group that found me just drifting along the river in a wicker basket, said I was the chosen one and they trained me my whole life.” That first time on stage was nerve racking – even worse than drunken revellers at Lorne’s recent Falls Festival throwing empty cans in the veteran comic’s direction. Dave told his first joke at the Raw Comedy Geelong heats when the crowd went deathly quiet and his mind went blank for what seemed an eternity. He froze and comedy seemed to lose its humour. “It’s good to know I don’t work in emergency services,” Dave deadpans. “If someone’s life was at risk and they were standing there for 10 seconds with their mouth wide open, I wouldn’t be much good.” But as a short-lived rapper, the 31-year-old still makes a pretty good comedian. Hesitating for a moment, telling the hidden story is akin to confessing a crime to a cop. “To be brutally honest, there was a mate of mine and myself at one time did a rap performance in Geelong,” he mockingly admits. “It was just one performance and let’s say one was all that was needed.” Dave has cast aside the past to establish a regular TV spot on the 7pm Project with his witty remarks. A new show entitled ‘I Want to be Bruce Lee’ at the comedy festival has consolidated his headlining ability. Paradoxically, he’s never trodden the boards at our own Blakiston Theatre. A tongue-in-cheek appeal then turns a touch serious. “I’m dearly hoping one of these days they can possibly squeeze me into GPAC,” Dave says, “and actually perform in Geelong. “That’s what I’ve been hoping, so if people want to write in petitions to GPAC, feel free to do so.”

Sanchez is in the house FALLING in love with dance music was part of Roger Sanchez’s upbringing. From listening to a mix of salsa, blues and soul, disco, rock and hip-hop in his New York hometown as a child, Sanchez is now one of the worlds most in-demand house music DJs. With an Ibiza residency to a Grammy Award, Sanchez has worked his 30 plus years in the music industry like a superhero. Sanchez, who’s recently completed remixes of Maroon 5 and Brandon Flowers, will take a break from his US tour later this month to display his breadth of talent to the revellers of Geelong. He said his diverse music upbringing would allow him offer fans a house music style that’ll push the boundaries. “I have always listened to a wide range of music, taking different influences from hundreds of styles,” he said. “One thing that’s very important to me is to take into account what the people on the dance floor are feeling - to reach out and connect to their emotions,” he said.

TED BAILLEAU’s hasty backflip on putting an end to the speed camera fraud perpetrated on the Victorian public by the Brumby government is a major betrayal. Experienced police, motoring writers and common sense will tell you these cameras and our dilatory speed limits are primarily about raising revenue, under the guise of safety. Thirty percent of the road toll is made up of pedestrian deaths. Victorians are by no means the reckless speedsters that our conviction rates imply, rather a hapless group of easy targets, forced to crawl along our slowing, congested roads, fearful that we may inadvertently exceed a slothful speed limit by 3kph. Victorians have the most speed cameras per capita of any state in the world and pay the highest

“speeding fines” income of any state in the world. Haven’t you had enough of this highway robbery and intimidation? A few years ago, voters in Hawaii realised speed cameras were being introduced principally for revenue raising and told their politicians either the speed cameras were to be gone by the next election, or they would be. The cameras went. If Ted Bailleau continues to fleece Victorian drivers of hundreds of millions of dollars then he deserves to be held in the same contempt that Brumby was and meet with the same fate come next election. He wants a new logo for our “state of slow motion”. Perhaps: “Victoria – grinding to a halt.” Alan Barron Grovedale

Fire ready? I HAD occasion to drive to our old district Ararat last week and was appalled to see grass on the roadsides above the fences all the way. No fuel reduction work such as mowing or ploughing has been undertaken any where between Shelford and Ararat apart from a small section where lucerne had been sown. We returned via Ballarat and some sections of the Western Highway had been mown but I suspect most Victorian roads remain a real fire hazard. Maybe it has been too wet to plough, but there was a time when firebreaks were installed every year along many of our roads and especially along the three chain roads that run throughout the Western District. It is well documented that Western Victoria is one of the most dangerous areas in the world for fast running grass fires and where grass has been allowed to build up and dry out on roadsides can create an inferno when fire occurs during severe fire weather conditions. Far too many restrictions have been placed on landowners who may wish to undertake these works to protect their properties by government, councils and Vic Roads and it is high time we had a public debate on the extremely dangerous situation that now exists and restore some practicality and good old fashioned common sense.

Taxi training?

WE CAN make an ‘icon’ of the Bellarine Rail Trail by re-laying the Queenscliff to South Geelong rails and running passenger trains from Melbourne to Queenscliff. This will bring hundreds of tourists on every run. I realise that the trail was opened in 1995 for horse riders but only a few use the trail for this purpose. Fifteen years later the issues have changed and now not only are trains used for tourism but it will be needed for transport. The progress that has taken place together with changes in the near future means trains will be needed to carry people to Melbourne for their work. Rail will take many cars off the roads. I believe that if built the railway will eventually pay for itself and would be a step forward. Clive West Newcomb

MY STEP dad recently caught a taxi coming home from a shopping centre and has had enough of the taxi drivers in Geelong. Most of them are from elsewhere and they have no idea where they are going. My step dad had to give the taxi driver directions to our house. They need a training course to help them get around in Geelong. We need more people driving around Geelong that know where they are going. The fare is higher just because they don’t know where they are going. Pretty soon not very many people will be taking taxis if something isn’t done. Passengers shouldn’t have to give directions to the drivers. They should have a GPS in the taxi. Hayleigh Burt, Norlane

letters Stay resolute IT’S TIME for New Year’s resolutions – those commitments we make to improve our lives in the coming year. Quitting smoking, exercising more, drinking less and eating better are all effective ways to improve health, but it’s worth thinking about our ‘social health’ as well. Friends are very important for health, particularly for older people and teenagers, but sadly – many people lead lonely lives. Loneliness is a growing problem in our society. We are nowhere near as connected as our grandparents’ generation were. There will be an estimated 3.7 million Australians living alone by 2026. But despite changing family patterns, it’s important we stay connected to one another. Recent research has shown social isolation can be as harmful for health as smoking cigarettes and the evidence is stacking up that people with more friends live longer. People who are socially isolated

often find it hard to initiate friendships. So why not add making an effort to reach out to others to your list of New Year’s resolutions? Get to know your neighbours, visit your older relatives, look up old friends who’ve lost contact and perhaps even mend a family rift. There’s no harm in sharing a cup of tea. By putting your hand out, you’re looking after your health and someone else’s. A new year is as good a reason as any to connect with one another and get on track to a happier, healthier and with any luck – longer – life. Todd Harper CEO, VicHealth

Men’s mo-ment I EXTEND my thanks to everyone who participated in Movember and helped to raise awareness of men’s health issues, including depression and anxiety. Each year participation in Movember continues to grow, like so many fantastic mo’s. When beyondblue first became involved in Movember four years

ago we did not imagine the simple idea of asking men to grow moustaches would actually change the face of men’s health in Australia and reduce the stigma associated with depression and anxiety. Not only has growing a mo made it okay for men to talk about their mental and physical health, the campaign has raised money that has helped beyondblue fund important research and men’s health programs throughout Australia. While the Movember moustaches have been a source of much pride – and some prickliness and amusement – in workplaces and community groups across the country, we are extremely grateful that so many Mo Bros and Mo Sistas joined in the fun to draw attention to a serious issue. On average, one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime. Anxiety is even more common. Less than half receive help and what’s worse is the risk of suicide for those seriously affected. Movember provides an opportunity to talk about men’s health, not just during Movember but year round and beyondblue is pleased and proud to be part of the conversation.

Please visit our website, www.beyondblue.org.au, or phone the information line on 1300 22 46 36 for more information. Leonie Young CEO, beyondblue

Retail therapy DEAR Mr Harvey and other retailers: Online shopping is not the main reason for the slump in retail sales. The rising cost of living has eroded the disposable income of many households and we are living in fear of Gillard’s proposed Carbon Tax which will leave many of us struggling to pay for essentials such as power, water and food. Stop lobbying the government to tax us even more and use your considerable clout to get this inept government to start doing something to ease the strain on average income Australians. Exempting our essential services from the GST would be a good start. Maybe then people might have some money left to spend in your stores. Sonia Hamill Geelong

The icon you have... I CAME to Geelong in 1948 and I’ve seen Geelong change. I drove taxis for 30 years and have seen what people have wanted to see. We have an icon right before our eyes and it gets into a state of disrepair and sure it gets fixed but... I am talking about the T & G tower: When the clock strikes out come the two men. When it was footy time there they were decked out in the team colours. I used to bring passengers into town just to see them. I suppose this isn’t good enough but it would save the rate payers a lot of money with an icon on our doorstep. I know Geelong isn’t the same as it was, but that icon is. Alan Fossey Herne Hill

A one-man band no longer BY ERIN PEARSON FROM humble beginnings in Canada’s eclectic villages to packed theatres across the world, Dan Mangan has come a long way. Returning to Australia for the fourth time with his new album Nice, Nice, Very Nice, Mangan has ditched the one-man and backpack style performance for a loud and proud band experience. “The last three times I’ve visited Australia because of my limited budget I’ve always had to come on my own,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed playing alone, it offers a different atmosphere, but this time around I felt it was necessary to make it as big as possible.” Mangan told the Independent although some shows were more “magical” than others, due to modest crowds it only made him more determined to succeed. Now he was facing the challenges associated with success. “I think the challenges are different when you first start, you’re constantly questioning whether you’re good enough, driven by a pipedream of what it could become,” he said. “But when you work out the logistics the fantasy starts to disappear and you gain a practical sense of what’s required. “I’d been digging and digging for years and it’s starting to pay off.” Mangan’s since been awarded The Verge’s Artist of the Year accolade; Canada’s public broadcaster championed Robots as Best Song and Best Vocals of 2009 and he’s even performed in Dubai. Despite his recent rise to fame, Mangan said performing as part of a band had been a

highlight. “The band live and breathe their instruments and it’s something that I actually envy, I’ve never been as attached to my instruments,” he laughed. “I did enjoy that I could make split decisions when I was alone regarding where to stay and what to see, but the pay off is I now have a good group mentality where ever I go.” Mangan said his latest hit single Road Regrets was a perfect example of something created while isolated. “It was written while I was on a trip all across the USA travelling alone on 10 hour drives day after day,” he said. “When you’re in that kind of solitude and exhausted you kind of waver the line between sane and insane. “Songs can come from the strangest of places.” Dan Mangan will be at The Nash on January 21.

Take the kids down to Rippleside Park to see army and cadet re-enactments, sheep shearing and even a Werribee Zoo display. There will be live entertainment on stage, plus the odd roving entertainer to keep you on your toes. A variety of activities will keep the kids busy, including face painting and jumping castles, horse cart rides, giant slides and rides for small children. The day is always a hit with local families who take the opportunity to treat the kids to a day of free fun and entertainment on the shores of Corio Bay. Bring a picnic or purchase some food from a food vendor onsite, and enjoy lunch overlooking the bay. Celebrate what it is to be Australian and have heaps of fun with family and friends at the 2011 Australia Day Family Fun Day. The day’s activities run from 11am - 4pm, and there will be ample free parking onsite. MEANWHILE, the Lions Australia Day Breakfast is on at Drysdale. Come along to a flag raising ceremony at the Village Green in Drysdale to celebrate Australia Day with Australia Day Ambassador and former Essendon footballer John Birt.

But Screen Actors isn’t just for people with stars in their eyes – the studio attracts students of all ages and experiences. “Some of our students attend classes for a confidence boost, developing social skills, or just because it’s lots of fun,” says Studio Director John Henderson. “We challenge our students with improv games and interesting scripts from films and TV shows.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and skills in dance technique and choreography to a new generation of dancers. “It certainly is an exciting time to dance - the industry is developing every day, there are so many fields and avenues of dance to explore and a strong grounding in basic technique creates a spring board for exciting performances.” Sally completed her Diploma of Dance and Performance and DFTA at Dance Factory in Richmond in 2009 and also holds a Diploma of Arts - Small Companies and Community Theatre from the University of Ballarat Arts Academy in 2004. Sally’s recent dance credits include the Fox 8 Ultimate School Musical TVC, 2010 AFL Opening at the MCG and the 2010 Australian Dance Awards finale ‘A Chorus Line’ under the direction of Jason Coleman.

April befriends an African lion.

PH 5241 3055

The African experience t’s a clear balmy evening. The stars are so close you feel as though you can reach up and grab one. In the distance, you can hear the sounds of the bush: The bark of a hippo, monkeys chattering to each other, the cute sound of a bush baby calling its mate – and if you are lucky, the awesome sound of a lion roaring a warning. These are the experiences of the largest game reserve in South Africa - Kruger National Park. Mind you, there is no need to do without your comforts as you relax in your rondavel, the round thatched roofed cabins that complete with immaculately clean ensuites and comfortable beds with crisp linen. Many people have the misconception that to travel in Africa, one must do it ‘rough’ but according to senior consultant April Selby, who has been to Africa more than 30 times, this is not the case at all. A resident Africa specialist at Jetset Waurn Ponds and winner of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Travel Weekly Australia’s best consultant for Africa, April leads two tours a year to South Africa. She is always keen to have a chat and give people an insight into what to expect when travelling

onely hearts looking for love now have the chance to meet their perfect mate whilst on the move, thanks to the launch of the RSPCA’s innovative iPhone/iPad application, adoptapet. The mobile application was created and funded by well known dedicated animal activist and television and media personality Suzie Wilks and her husband Nick. It coincides with the launch of an innovative multi-media advertising campaign to highlight the breadth and diversity of animals available from RSPCA Adoption Centres nationwide. Akin to the RSPCA’s new-look online pet search engine and information bank, www.adoptapet.com.au, the iPhone/iPad application showcases the plethora of animals available for adoption – from purebreds to lovable cross breeds – at local RSPCA centres. Lists of animals available for adoption can be fine-tuned to suit individual lifestyles and circumstances through a colour-coded system, making finding a perfect pet match easier and quicker than ever before. It will also alert you with an SMS when the dog of your dreams is available. The application also features handy pet care tips from Suzie and her dogs Junior and Lilli to help new owners care for their pets. As the RSPCA Ambassador, Suzie Wilks said: “Online and mobile dating has become a huge phenomenon, and with the process of adopting a pet very similar to finding a soul mate, the RSPCA has embraced the concept to find as many of their loveable pets homes. “I have always been extremely passionate about animals, so creating the application with my husband to make the RSPCA’s animals even more accessible, has been a dream come true. “One of my life goals has been to help animals in a big way – so coming up with this idea and creat-

All animals at RSPCA Adoption Centres looking for love can also be viewed online at www.adoptapet.com.au . Suzie hopes that this helps home all animals and match them perfectly to the owners.

Refined Aurion BY ERIC BLAIR imed very much at the Commodore and Falcon market segment, the Toyota Aurion, while slightly smaller than those big family cars is appealing to quite a few Australian buyers. Especially to those people looking to downsize a little in the interests of better fuel economy and lower emissions. Australian-built, and with quite a few changes to the Japanese original to suit the special tastes of the Aussie driver, Aurion V6 has been given a tougher look than its brother, the four-cylinder Toyota Camry. Aurion has a purposeful semi-European appearance that works nicely if you want a touch of style in your family car. Though we use the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Japanese originalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Aurion is actually aimed at the American market. The chief changes to our car are sportier suspension and steering setups, more in keeping with the European driver than those in the USA. Aurion has good interior space. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than average rear-seat legroom, though as is the way with virtually every car in this class, the back seat canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really transport three large adults without a degree of shoulder and leg rubbing. A trio of children up to their mid teens will certainly have room to move. The front seats are well-shaped and provide good support, obviously not sportscar support, but the family man who likes to drive will be happy with the way the seats work during sporty cornering. The Aurion is only offered as a sedan, whereas Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore have big station wagons in their lineups. Toyota says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relying on its range of 4WDs to cater for the needs of the wagon buyer, but those looking for a plusher ride and better economy really would be happy if a wagon was on offer. Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian engineers carried out a lot of local testing on rough country roads, not to forget suburban surfaces that have seen better days. Handling is precise and predictable. Slight understeer comes in as the limits are approached. The transition from one bend to another is coped with a competent manner. ESP is there should the driver overstep the mark. Ride comfort is good,

Engine: Power comes from a 3.5-litre, twin-cam, V6 engine with a maximum of 200 kW.

Roomy: Aurion has good interior space. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than average rear-seat legroom. even on the aforementioned rough-and-ready Aussie roads, though some surfaces can catch it out at times, resulting in a slightly jittery ride. Power comes from a 3.5-litre, twin-cam, V6 engine where its maximum is 200 kW. At 4700 rpm, the Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top torque of 336 Nm comes in pretty high in the rev range, indeed so high that few everyday drivers will ever see the engine producing its maximum grunt. However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good pulling power from relatively low revs so the numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the whole story. Aurionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine is lovely and smooth and nicely responsive and a real pleasure to sit behind. It really is the latest iteration of the sort of powerplant Australian drivers have loved for decades. The Toyota six-speed automatic transmission is a real beauty, gear changes are barely noticeable and it seems to be in the right ratio most of the time. Pseudo manual changes can be made should the driver feel the need for a bit more performance, or realise that the car isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t responding correctly to rapidly changing road conditions. On the road, most Aurion owners are likely to use ten to eleven litres per hundred kilometres in suburban and city running. This will typically drop to eight to nine litres on motorways and moderately paced country driving. Figures of under eight litres are there if you want to put your mind to it in easy driving conditions. Toyota Aurion is a handy size of car at a pretty good price. Its big strength is excellent refinement and Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary build quality. It certainly deserves a place on your list of family cars, even if you have previously been a died-in-thewool Ford or Holden devotee.

sonably responsive unit. Though its sub-5000 redline is a bit of a letdown to those who love their sporting Italian machines. Those who want a really hot little Alfa Romeo can go for the hyper-hatch 147 GTA with its huge 3.2-litre sixcylinder engine, firm sports suspension, upgraded brakes and bold body kit. It’s considerably more expensive than the standard models, but has tremendous performance in a straight line and around corners. The GTA is offered with a conventional six-speed manual or six-speed Selespeed. The latter isn’t our favourite transmission but there are those who love it. Alfa Romeo is well represented in Australia these days, though most of the dealerships are concentrated in major metropolitan areas. Spare parts and servicing aren’t overly expensive for this class of car. The home mechanic may care to try some of their own minor work, but we really do suggest its best left to the professionals. A lot of brake dust on the wheels can indicate hard driving. Make sure the engine starts easily and idles smoothly from the moment it gets going. Naturally the V6 will be smoother than the four. A manual gearbox that isn’t light in its action could be due for repairs. Do some fast changes from third down to second and feel for a reluctance to shift, or for funny noises. During the road test look for steering that wanders and feel for brakes that don’t pull the car up evenly. By all means do your own checkout to the best of your ability, but we recommend that you always call on a professional for their expert opinion.

BY ERIC BLAIR tyling has always been a major component of Alfa Romeo’s success and the Alfa 147 is a classic example of how well it can be done. Indeed, so good is the styling that it disguises the fact that the 147 is a practical five-door family hatchback, it really looks more like a sports machine than one aimed at everyday transport. Alfa 147 is sold in Australia as a three- and five-door hatchback. At first glance, the five-door looks to be a sleek two-door because the rear doors’ handles are cleverly concealed in the rear window frame. On the road the little Alfa 147 offers a huge amount of driving pleasure in all the important areas of dynamics. Steering is nicely weighted and the handling is beautifully balanced. The smallest Alfa sold in Australia is powered by 2.0-litre Twin Spark (two spark plugs per cylinder), fourcylinder engine. It’s beautifully responsive and sounds very purposeful. Though a relatively old design, the Twin Spark is more than happy to rev to the heavens and is most enjoyable to sit behind. Power transmission is to the front wheels. The manual five-speed manual’s gearchanges are good in its action for a front-drive car and the ratios seem to be in the right arena just about all of the time. A turbo-diesel engine, again with a capacity of 1.9 litres joined the lineup in January 2006. It has considerably more power and torque than the four-cylinder petrol and once it has passed through its slightly dead turbo lag period is a rea-

ow-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least. Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars. It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back up any further due to very limited vision. These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome. Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians. Reversing sensors help prevent damage to ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles. Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind. Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses. Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett Street, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to bumper regions of any car. Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

sport Bay snapper and pipe action hotting up On the bite BRIAN LONG ANGLING opportunities have certainly been on the increase during the past fortnight, with no fishery better than the outer harbour. Soft plastics anglers have experienced some of the hottest action from the Hermsley spoil grounds, Bird Rock and the quarries. While you do have to fish through the large numbers of small snapper, persistence will pay off with plenty of fish between 40 and 50cms. Up sizing your lures to four inch models such as jigging grubs and swimming mullet in the more natural colours will see the better fish being hooked. These same areas are currently full of large – and I mean large – pike mostly over 90cms and any number over the one metre mark. While on big pike, Stan Forbes trolled the grass beds between the Sands Caravan Park and Clifton Springs boat ramp with a tally of 21 pike in just three hours. His best lure was the 8cm Savoy Shad. This area also rewarded Noel Farnsworth with more than a dozen fish, the best at 3.2kg and in excess of a metre in length. Fishing the Stingaree spoil grounds with mate John Mole we had a ball catching and releasing 30 snapper and 15 pike in a frantic three hour session. This same area saw Ross Winstanley find the snapper willing to bite. Alas the whiting were difficult to come by and Ross only landed a couple on his last few outings. Rob Allum took his grandson, four-year-old Lachlan for a fish with soft plastics, the first time the pair had fished this method and did it pay dividends with around 20 small snapper landed. Lachlan nailed a beauty at 32cms - not bad for a first timer. Anchoring his Hobie kayak up close to the retaining wall of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club and laying a liberal berley trail saw Peter Holding hook up the hard fighting trevalla on a regular basis. Although he kept a handful, Peter must have released 20 fish, some to 35cms. Cunningham Pier was for a

Keep an eye on this fishery as it should improve over the next week. North Shore rocks rewarded both bait and lure angler alike this past week. Pike were biting on small baitfish profile lures with those on bait finding small snapper and a few quality flathead to be had. Late evenings are the stand out time at this location.

Games will shape finals THE GEELONG Cricket Club will be glad to see the end of the twenty20 section of this season’s fixture after losing three of its four matches. In the country round of matches last week, the Cats travelled to Warrnambool only to go down to Campberwell in a rain affected match. This has seen them drop to seventh place on the table. Geelong gets the chance to redeem itself by hosting 15th placed Essendon over the next two Saturdays. With just five rounds left before finals, the Cats cannot afford to let slip any more winnable games; if they do, they’ll struggle to make the top eight in what is a very competitive league. With some of Geelong’s better players struggling to have an impact on the scoreboard, it’s time some of them stood up and emulated the feats of former team-mate Aaron Finch who has gone on to Australian twenty20 selection as well as a lucrative IPL contract. The Geelong Cricket Association has now completed all scheduled one day games for the season and has four more two day matches to contest between now and the finals. While some of the lesser sides enjoy the one day format as it gives them a better chance of snatching an upset victory, the good sides with plenty of talent and depth will relish the extra overs to show their wares and grind their opponents into the turf. This round could really shape the top six in division one, with the top eight teams all drawn to play each other. Some of the crackerjack encounters include the top two sides East Belmont and Grovedale squaring off in what is always a hard fought contest. Third placed South Barwon will look to bounce back against eighthplaced North Geelong. Lara and St Josephs are in fourth and fifth place respectively and play each other at the Snakepit, while Bell Post Hill hosts Geelong West. If the top few teams win, they’ll enjoy a nice buffer on the ladder, but if they lose, the top six could almost be turned completely upside down. Selections: EAST BELMONT v Grovedale, SOUTH BARWON v North Geelong, LARA v St Josephs, Bell Post Hill v GEELONG WEST, MANIFOLD HEIGHTS v Thomson, NEWTOWN and CHILWELL v Leopold In division two, Newcomb and District pulled off the upset of the season thus far when they defeated red hot premiership favourites Geelong City last week. That result dragged the

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Dino’s into the top six and gave them a great chance of contesting finals. They host seventh placed Highton tomorrow with both teams locked on 24 points, and with a similar percentage, this is a good old fashioned 12 point game. Robbie Evans is enjoying a fantastic season with the willow, already chalking up nearly 300 runs at just under 50. Recruit Andew Spengler has done some damage with nearly 200 of his own while Thomas Adams and Brett Nolan lead the wicket taking at the club. For Highton, Shannon Young has made the most runs in the division with 352 so far to go with his nine wickets. He looks the player most likely standing between Newcomb and District and victory. Selections: NEWCOMB and DISTRICT v Highton, GUILD ST MARYS v St Peters, MARSHALL v North Shore, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Geelong City, Murgheboluc v ALEXANDER THOMSON, WAURN PONDS v Torquay. In division three, Lethbridge enjoyed a good win over Teesdale and despite a bye last week finds itself in fourth spot on the table. Lethbridge’s opponents Meredith started the season with big expectations and some impressive recruits, but have so far failed to shine, currently hanging onto sixth spot by a fingernail. Lethbridge have Nath Broster, Shane and Patrick Dillon and Leigh Harding all with 100 or more runs to their name, while Shane Dillon and Harding lead the way with the ball. If they can sneak a victory here, they will be confident of pushing all sides in the division. Selections: CORIO v Bell Park, Modewarre v LITTLE RIVER, Inverleigh v WINCHELSEA, LETHBRIDGE v Meredith, Corio Bay v TEESDALE, Bannockburn bye. 504437-MD2-11
