YOUR GUIDE TO PROPERTY, NEW HOMES INSIDE TODAY St Leonards culture, variety ‘to draw 3000’ to annual festival Doubts over day on green BY KIM WATERS ORGANISERS expect more than 3000 visitors to experience St Leonards’ festival of “culture, cuisine and local history�. St Leonard’s Festival organiser Steve Walsh said variety was the “essence� of this year’s event, with a “huge� fishing competition as the key attraction. “We’re a fishing village and the competition has kept growing and growing every year,� he said. “We’ve got 300 entries at the moment and they just keep on coming.� Children’s entertainment would include a baby animal farm and face painting. “We strive to ensure there’s something for everyone and perhaps that’s why our festival continues to grow in popularity,� Mr Walsh said. “This year we’ve moved the stage to take advantage of water views and changed a few things around to lessen the impact of traffic on the town. “It’s a great day out for a family.� Mr Walsh said the event, now in its fourth year, had raised community spirit and strengthened ties between residents. “Everyone marvels each year at what a group of volunteers can do and it’s been such a great attraction for the area.� He said bands and the “colour and vibrancy� of ethnic dance and cultural groups would feature at the festival. Other attractions included two photographic exhibitions, a historic walk around the town and Bellarine Art Show with a free shuttle bus and “hundreds� of works for sale at St Leonard’s Yacht Club. St Leonard’s Festival is on October 30.

BY KIM WATERS THE FUTURE of the Bellarine Peninsula’s biggest music festival is in doubt months after the sale of its former host farm, organisers have revealed. A Day on the Green concerts around Australia start in two weeks but organisers could not confirm this week whether Bellarine Spray Farm would again host one of the shows. The event’s promoter told the Independent over six months ago that organisers had yet to speak to the farm’s new property owners. But this week a spokesperson for A Day on the Green said the event had “nothing new to report� on Spray Farm. “We have no more news as of yet.� The official event website included information on Spray Farm but said “there are no upcoming events at Scotchmans Hill, Bellarine Peninsula,Victoria.� Spray Farm sold to a Melbourne couple for just over $7 million in April after a bidding war at auction. The property has hosted A Day on the Green for the past nine years. A Day on the Green travels to wineries around Australia and New Zealand. American rock star Rob Thomas and Australia’s Vanessa Amorosi featured at Spray Farm’s A Day on the Green earlier this year. The Independent was unable to contact the farm’s new owners for comment.

Talk on shire merger Liberal candidate for Bellarine Kurt Reiter called the meeting to discuss an amalgamation or formation of a separate Bellarine Peninsula shire. Ms Kenwood said borough residents were “happy the way things are�. “We’ve already fought off amalgamation three times in years gone by,� she said. “First it was proposed by the Labor party and then we had a big fight with the Kennet

Government. “I think from that we’re the only small municipality left.� Ms Kenwood said residents feared amalgamation would destroy the area’s “charm and heritage�. “I think it’s a really special area and it’s an advantage for us that we have such close access to our local councilors and officers, which we would lose with an amalgamation. “Our council has had a lot of

issues to deal with that were neglected by previous councils but they’ve done really well to handle it all.� Mr Reiter was interested in hearing residents’ opinions. “Everywhere I go there is a significant groundswell for amalgamation or for a separate Bellarine shire, particularly in north Bellarine,� he said. “Some people in the borough fiercely defend their separation and don’t want to be soldered into

$5m grant paves way to new hospital in Geelong BY ERIN PEARSON A NEW 250-bed hospital with an emergency ward is set to open at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus. Epworth HealthCare and Deakin unveiled a partnership on Wedensday to build the “world-class� facility linked to the university’s medical school. Epworth group chief executive Alan Kinkade said the private hospital would provide “day-to-day� health care while allowing Deakin students to hone their skills in real-world experiences. Mr Kinkade said Epworth Geelong would begin accepting patients in May, 2013. “Epworth Geelong combines the best in a new private health facility with state-of-the-art operating theatres, delivery suites, day cancer and renal dialysis facilities and an emergency department integrated with Deakin’s training and research activities,� he said. Mr Kinkade said the high-tech facility would also host training in robotic surgery and neurology. Epworth HealthCare would contribute $2.8 million to the hospital. Parliamentary Secretary for Health

and Ageing Catherine King announced Federal Government would provide $5 million. “This announcement will really benefit not just this community but the broader community also,� she said. “It will benefit undergraduate and postgraduate students across the disciplines of medicine, nursing, midwifery and psychology.� Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman said the hospital was a boon for jobs, medical training and patient treatment in the region. “It will certainly provide peace of mind for parents like me who have young kids that we will be able to access high-quality health care,� he said. Wednesday’s announcement followed the August opening of Geelong’s $47 million Regional Community Health Hub at Belmont and $15 million in new campus laboratories at the Waurn Ponds University. Deakin Medical School head Brendan Crotty was “battling to keep up� with all the announcements. “This is part of a very rapidly expanding research focus down here at Waurn Pond ,� he said.

‘Drink, drugs driver’ jailed for crash death Horvat had pleaded guilty to culpable driving, negligently causing serious injury, unlicensed driving and driving an unroadworthy vehicle. He was driving about 1am on November 30 when the car left the road and hit a power pole, throwing Ms Dale from the vehicle and injuring two other passengers. Judge Shelton noted that Horvat had a blood alcohol reading of .189 and “excessive levels” of cannabis in his system after the accident. Judge Shelton said he had “taken into consideration” Horvat’s “difficult childhood”, drug and alcohol abuse and “personal circumstances”.

“The media (has been) saturated for many years now with the effects of drinking and driving,” he said. “Adding cannabis and erratic driving into this…it’s a dangerous cocktail indeed.” Ms Dale’s mother cried as Judge Shelton told the court of her family’s “continued feelings of loss”. “The victim’s father was heartbroken…he never really recovered and has since died.” Judge Shelton said a psychologist’s report described Horvat as “cognitively and emotionally immature”. “He blocks out internal distress with substance abuse or channels it into

anger,” Judge Shelton read from the report. “Mr Horvat said ‘I’m always angry, that’s just how I feel’.” Judge Shelton said the sentence was “general deterrence”. “It is in your favour that you attended two drug and alcohol sessions with a councillor,” he told Horvat. “You have cooperated with police and entered a plea of guilty early. It shows remorse upon your part.” The mothers of Horvat and Ms Dale met for the first time outside the court before the sentencing. The women hugged while telling each other they were “sorry”.

A MAN of Indian appearance indecently assaulted a 22-year-old woman near one of central Geelong’s busiest intersections on Monday night, according to police. They alleged the woman was walking near the corner of Ryrie and Moorabool streets about 8.15pm when the man in his early 20s attacked her before fleeing down a laneway to Little Malop Street.

Pet amnesty GEELONG’S council has declared an amnesty on unregistered pets for owners who pay registrations next month. Councillors voted this week to extend the amnesty throughout November so owners could make payments without risking fines, which start at $239.

GMHBA target A RIVAL health insurer has called on GMHBA to release its annual report as part of a $140 million takeover bid for the Geelong organisation. The board of GMHBA rebuffed the NIB call as the Newcastle-based company stepped up its drive to entice GMHBA’s 91,500 members into selling.

Hammer head A HIGHTON man was hit over the head with what police believe was a hammer during a violent attempted armed robbery in central Geelong. Police said the 36-year-old was left with “nonlife-threatening injuries” while another victim aged 34, from Belmont, escaped unharmed after five men chased them down Malop Street early Saturday morning.

Pool rebuild EASTERN Beach’s “iconic” children’s pool will undergo a $6.7 million reconstruction early next year after hosting bathers for almost 70 years, Geelong’s council has announced. Councillor Bruce Harwood said the redevelopment to return the pool to its “former glory” would begin in March.

Grovedale winner GROVEDALE Football and Netball Club has emerged as an early winner from pre-election bidding for the marginal state seat of South Barwon, with both major parties pledging hundreds of thousands of dollars for upgrades. Incumbent Labor MP Michael Crutchfield has announced $300,000 for the club’s upgrade project, while Liberal candidate Andrew Katos has helped commit the coalition to a $200,000 grant.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON HARRY Priest isn’t joking when the Royal Geelong Show veteran says he lives and breathes animals. The Harry Farmland’s name on the showground shed is the sign of his life, not just a marketing gimmick, after bringing his farmyard friends to the show for more than 20 years. “We always sleep here – we never leave the animals,” Harry swears of his dedication to the show. Every night for the past month Harry has pulled his Landcruiser into the shed, rolled out his swag and tucked up among the Shetland ponies, alpacas and kid goats in preparation for the show. Even at the age of 71, he’s up at six in the morning and on his feet until nine that night. But still he’s as happy as, er, Harry. Just like his namesake, Harry the ram. “Oh, he looks a lot like me,” Harry the human laughs. “He’s been coming for six years and he loves it here, loves the people. “He’s as happy as can be.” A former farm manager at a Ceres stud, Harry gave away travelling to other royal shows around Victoria to concentrate on his hometown’s own big day. “We like to think we’re as good as the Royal Melbourne Show,” Harry says. “That’s not bragging; that’s what we attest to the standard.” Harry likes his annual show attraction to simulate a real farmyard. The shed has hay bales sprawled out, saddles nailed on the walls and he even brings in a stagecoach for the show. “The main objective is to give the kids a chance to pick up the chooks and pat a rabbit or a guinea pig,” he says, “because you wouldn’t believe how many of them don’t even have a dog or a cat.” Royal Geelong Show runs until Sunday at Geelong Showgrounds. Ticket prices are $16 for adults, $14 for concession card holders, $10 for children aged eight to 15 and free for kids under eight. A family pass for two adults and two children costs $40.

BY KIM WATERS A MOTORIST who killed a passenger in a car crash at Norlane while under the influence of drugs and alcohol will spend at least four years in jail. Twenty-nine-year-old, Anthony Horvat, of Bell Post Hill, sat emotionless in County Court as Judge Frank Shelton handed down the jail sentence for the death of Ruth Dale. Judge Shelton sentenced Horvat to six years jail with a non-parole period of four years. He also fined him $100 for driving an unroadworthy vehicle and suspended his licence for two years from 2013.

Major projects on the list included $412 million for infrastructure at Armstrong Creek, $257.5 million to duplicate the Princes Highway from Winchelsea to Colac, $122 million for Corio and Norlane regeneration projects and $45 million for Geelong’s cultural precinct. Other items included state commitments to a proposed Geelong convention centre and to helping Avalon Airport develop an aviation training academy and an international terminal.

Member for Geelong Ian Trezise said the G21 projects were already on Labor’s radar. “I’m well aware of the vast majority of these projects and, in fact, have probably advocated for them within government over the past four or five years.” Mr Trezise said upgrade projects for cultural precinct was the “number-one priority” in his electorate.

across the region. “I don’t think there’s any doubt there are a lot of sensible considerations that G21 is putting forward,” he said. Mr Koch said Geelong should put in a “bigger claim” on the proposed convention centre to boost auditorium capacity to more than 1500 seats. He believed the state could not ignore funding for the Princes Highway connection to Colac as a main transport and passenger corridor into western Victoria and South Australia.

Region issues $1b state poll wishlist BY ANDREW MATHIESON THE REGION’S councils have released a state election wishlist of 12 key projects worth almost $1 billion. Rival election candidates gave in-principle support on Wednesday to some of the list’s most urgent projects. But they remained tightlipped on specific policy to match the funding demands. G21, an alliance organisation representing the region’s five councils, released the wishlist with six weeks to go until the

BY ANDREW MATHIESON FARMERS across the region who swapped traditional vegie crops to canola are reaping the benefits from heavier-than-expected winter rains, according to a grower. Balliang farmer Eric Sharkey said several farms made a wise choice in March to sow canola seeds for this year’s crop. “We have a bit more in crops than what we normally would have,” he said of the growing blankets of yellow across the region. “That would be the case this year and it depends a bit on the season’s forecast. Percentage-wise, it’s not near the number of the other cereals but it has certainly stood out this year and people do notice.” Balliang, 40km north of Geelong, has been the centre of canola in the region but several broadacre farms closer to the city have switched to the oilseed. Mr Sharkey, Victoria’s grains group treasurer, said growing canola allowed farmers to “rotate” the paddocks to avoid feared diseases from other cereal crops. He said recent heavy rain ensured canola was blossoming at levels unseen for years. “The trick is to get the canola to flower for as long as you can and

Refinery ‘disaster’ set to test skills of emergency crews Cash boost for 44 kinders in region The spokesperson said the refinery would close its access road and sound sirens during the exercise. Organisers would broadcast messages on radio in the unlikely event of the real thing flaring while the mock disaster was underway. “If there are no messages on local radio or if not instructed by the police or emergency services, the community does not need to take action,” the spokesperson said. Emergency services staff went through a similar exercise at Avalon Airport on Tuesday. The Avalon “worst-case scenario” exercise included plane passengers with mock injuries and a media conference about an aircraft crash.

4C ‘pledge’ in boost for rally BY KIM WATERS A COALITION promise to “reconsider” the route of a controversial bypass extension south of Geelong has buoyed protesters ahead of a public rally this weekend, according to organisers. Liberal candidate for South Barwon Andrew Katos said he would address the rally to “affirm” the review of stage 4C of the bypass if the coalition won next month’s state election. “If we’re elected in November we will review the alignment of Promise: Andrew Katos. the road, the process and the conThe 4C route runs along a rail sultation procedure,” said Mr line neighbouring homes in both Katos, a Geelong councillor. suburbs. “We aren’t necessarily opposed Mr Katos said moving the route to the road but there has obviously been an error or a flaw that was “a possibility”, although his needs to be corrected or this will main focus was on residents’ conend up like the Barwon Heads cerns about the route’s consultation process.

Action Group spokesperson Margarita Kumnik said the group had started an online poll to record how many residents would change their votes over the route issue. “A lot of people have commented that they’re willing to change their vote to support a government that would do something about this,” she said. “We’ve also got a 1100-person petition and after the rally we’ll probably start organising stalls in shopping centres to collect more signatures.” Ms Kumnik hoped her committee would gain a “clear picture” at the rally of what candidates would offer in the lead-up to the election. “We’ve invited 19 sitting members and candidates along and they’ll all have the chance to speak,” she said. “We also want a clearer picture of how many people are against the current bypass route. If only 20 people turn up, well, I don’t want to say we’d give up but there isn’t much we can do without a lot of support.” The rally starts at 1pm Sunday at 121 Bickford Road, Grovedale.

Super Hornet set to star at airshow AVALON’S next airshow will be the public’s first chance to get up close and personal with Australia’s “potent” new F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighter, according to RAAF chief Mark Binskin. The Air Marshall said the Super Hornet would go on show at the event in March along with other high-tech military aircraft as the RAAF cel-

ebrates its 90th anniversary at Avalon. “The airshow will be a major opportunity to highlight RAAF’s future, in particular our transition to the cutting edge Joint Strike Fighter,” Air Marshall Binskin said. Australia’s Super Hornets became operational this year as interim RAAF fighters until the arrival of the Joint Strike Fighter.

GEELONG, Bellarine and Surf Coast shire kindergartens have emerged as winners in a latest round of state grants. Forty-four kindergartens in the region will share in almost $90,000 for new equipment and educational resources under a $3.2 million package. Children and Early Childhood Development Minister Maxine Morand said the kinders would use the cash for resources as they strived to cope with “the biggest baby boom in a generation”. “There are currently 66,651 four-year-olds enrolled in (Victorian) kindergarten programs…and we want to make sure they all have access to quality play equipment and educational resources,” Ms Morand said. The Government had allocated $2300 and $4000 grants to 35 kinders in Geelong and Lara, four in Surf Coast Shire and five on the Bellarine Peninsula. The announcement followed desperate calls from Barwon Heads and Torquay kinders for facility upgrades and extensions.

EMERGENCY services workers will put their skills to the test for the second time in days when they rush to a mock “major” disaster at Corio’s Shell refinery next week. A spokesperson for the refinery said police, CFA and refinery staff would all be involved in the surprise test. None would be aware of the scale or precise timing of the hypothetical incident until the last minute, the spokesperson said. “The organisations’ emergency responders and their actions will be observed during the exercise with the aim of sharpening the skills of those involved and closing any planning or implementation gaps found during the event.”

BY ANDREW MATHIESON ONE OF Victoria’s most-stressed rivers will only get loose change from $3.6 million to fix local water catchments, according to an action group fighting to save the Moorabool River. The group says the state funding falls well short of the millions of dollars needed to match report guidelines recommending assistance of $1000 for every megalitre missing from the river. Funding allocated to the Corangamite catchment from the $3.6 million includes $839,000 for revegetation and maintenance of a 20km stretch of the Barwon River. But the catchment’s management authority said the Moorabool River was one of several tributaries that would share in $403,000 as part of the “upper catchment” of the Barwon. “Not at this stage do we have any specific details on the Moorabool,” authority river health manager Trent Wallis told the Independent. A spokesperson for state Parliamentary

Flashback: The Independent’s June 25 story on the river. Secretary for the Environment and Water, Michael Crutchfield, said the funding went to the catchment authority to allocate at its discretion. People for a Living Moorabool spokesperson Cameron Steele said water catchment funding, which would also be shared on

parks, “tends to be lumped into a bit of a pot”. Mr Steele said Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, which he met last Friday, would use the money to tackle fencing and rabbit controls rather than water flows in the Moorabool. “This part of works is only a part of the picture – the flows are a bigger part of the picture. We’re starting to make steps in the right direction for the river but it’s been flogged to death and it’s going to take a long while to revive the patient.” Mr Steele said State Government had flagged an extra 2500 megalitres as an “environmental water reserve” for the Moorabool. A proposal for a further 3000 megalitres from a Fyansford quarry would also give the river a major boost, he said. But a scientific study five years ago found that the Moorabool needed at least 20,000 megalitres, which would cost up to $20 million. “That’s just 25 per cent of what has been identified as what the river needs,” Mr Steele said.

EPA forum ‘raises hope’ on plant emissions BY KIM WATERS ENVIRONMENT Protection Authority regulations could be the key to stopping “dangerous” emissions from a cement plant in Geelong’s south, according to a residents’ spokesperson. Grovedale’s Margarita Kumnik said residents were pleading with authorities to “do something” about Blue Circle burning alternative fuel HiCal40 at the company’s Waurn Ponds plant. She expressed the concerns at an EPA Victoria forum in Geelong last week.

Residents were fearful of the plant spreading “airborne toxic waste”. “We’re really concerned about it and we hope that the discussion we had at this forum will result in a change to the current rules and regulations for burning the fuel.” Geelong Sustainability Group’s Monica Winston said burning HiCal40 produced “dangerous” levels of fluoride emissions. “We don’t know how bad breathing it in might be and it may not show up for another 10 or 20 years.” Alcoa recently shelved plans to burn the fuel near Anglesea amid community con-

cerns it would lead to unacceptable levels of airborne fluoride. An EPA Victoria spokesperson said the authority would collate results from the forum for a report due later this year. “We’ve taken note of the specific community concerns and will have our response team check them out.” Blue Circle Southern Cement’s Peter Richardson rejected the concerns, saying the fuel had “extremely low” fluoride emissions and was cheaper than natural gas. The plant had burnt HiCal40 for 10 years with the blessing of the EPA, he said.

Big burns ‘to send park up in flames’ BY ERIN PEARSON STATE Government’s “mosaic burning� will destroy Otway National Park, the region’s peak community environmental group has warned. Geelong Environmental Council president Joan Lindros said “large-scale� burn-offs proposed for 2010 and 2011 were “far too close� to areas burnt in the past three years. “This year will see more than 1000 acres burnt in the eastern Otway foothills, with an adjacent national park area of 2000 acres burnt next year,� she said.

TUITION

OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE

“Ecologically, areas burnt so close together in time and space will have problems for wildlife restoration and re-establishment. All the wildlife will have no habitat and this issue does not appear to be a consideration.� Ms Lindros said Department of Sustainability and Environment had also failed to follow up on the regeneration of areas already burnt. “Every burn in the Anglesea/Airey’s Inlet region in the past three years at least has vastly exceeded the planned size,� she said. “There has been no post-

burning monitoring or pre-burn evaluation of flora or fauna and certainly no consideration of soil organisms such as bacteria, fungi or other species, which ensure a healthy forest.� Ms Lindros dismissed concerns over Black Saturday-type fires in the Otways without burn-offs. “If you’re in that area, people know that if it’s a really bad day you just have to go,� she said. Department Otway district manager Andrew Morrow said Fairhaven, Airey’s Inlet, Anglesea, Lorne and Forrest were some of the state’s worst

bushfire-risk areas. “Our burning program is strategically reducing fuel loads to directly reduce the bushfire risk to the people, townships and environment in the Otways,� he said. “The burns in question are long-unburnt areas, not having been burnt since 1983. “DSE considers and plans the sequencing of burns carefully and always takes biodiversity into account. If we exclude fire completely from our parks and forests, we’ll be doing more harm than good to the plants and animals living there.�

BY ERIN PEARSON NEW YEAR’S Eve on Geelong’s waterfront will undergo a major makeover this year to cater for inclement weather, according to organisers. They have scratched the traditional waterfront site at Steampacket Gardens in favour of a covered event at a new venue on Cunningham Pier. The Pier’s Sarah Birch said New Year’s Eve on the Waterfront would feature a masquerade ball on the pier with “linked entertainment� at other venues from Geelong to Newtown. “We’ve reverted back to the original concept, New Year on the Pier, when people were really looking for a good party to go to with great entertainment at a great price and they will get that this year,� Ms Birch said. “The new venue on Cunningham Pier also offered an opportunity to use inside space. Because of the inclement weather that hit us last year about 7pm, we wanted to play it safe.� Ms Birch said the dress-up theme would replace a headline rock band to

It’s nice to be wanted, but no thanks NIB! Why GMHBA rejects NIB’s takeover offer GMHBA is a growing, successful health fund with no need to sell. GMHBA is one of the most successful health insurers in Australia, with a very bright and secure future.

GMHBA outperforms NIB on virtually any measure. • Growth – GMHBA grew by 6.2% for the financial year vs. NIB’s 5.9% – with a much more modest marketing spend. • Member recommendation – 66% of GMHBA’s members would recommend it to friends and colleagues vs. 54% for NIB.* • Value-for-money – A leading Australian consumer magazine recognised the value of GMHBA’s products with more 2010 “Best Buy” awards than any other health fund. NIB hardly rated a mention.

Geelong and GMHBA members deserve the best. Being taken over by an inferior health fund concerned with shareholders rather than providing great value health insurance is not in the best interest of our members.

Only one health fund is really committed to Geelong. We love the Geelong footy club too, but being a Newcastle-based sponsor and saying “We are Geelong” a lot in your advertising, doesn’t make it true. We’ve been looking after the community for more than 75 years, have 4 local branches, employ 110 people here, and truly engage with the local community.

GMHBA remains Geelong’s own health fund, committed to delivering great 498834-JL41-10

Stamping his passion Local Legends ANDREW MATHIESON STAN Klekovic looks down at a rare assortment of stamps and coins scattered across a table. “That’s what kept me going,� he utters. Leaving Croatia in 1959 for Whyalla to work at lonely shipyards, Stan found that living on the fringes of the South Australian outback was an austere existence. So when workmates introduced the fitter and turner first to philately – or the collection and study of postal material – the new immigrant would run to the post office after every pay to buy the latest stamps. “It was all new to me,� Stan recalls. “I didn’t know it existed when I was younger.� Swapping stamps during meal breaks was a bit of fun but it was chasing the original Sydney Harbour Bridge stamps that had Stan seriously licked as a collector. Ambitious philatelists considered the 1931 fiveshilling set the Holy Grail of stamps. The most prized collection of its day finally took Stan more than 20 years to buy from a Melbourne swap meet. “A few years they were up to $900 just for one single stamp,� he smiles. “Not too many collectors had it because it was too expensive.� Now boasting around 5000 priceless stamps in his possession, Stan modestly nods that the hobby has cost him “quite a few thousand dollars�. The best stamps of his collection are from the 1930s, a golden era for the most ardent collectors. Stan’s old favourite is a King George V two pence stamp to commemorate the first glider flight from Melbourne to Geelong. Stan’s propensity for German stamps grew into an obsession but he also has a soft spot for the very few from his homeland. Until Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, the country’s only previous stamps were issued between 1941 and 1945. “I first found Croatian stamps in Whyalla – I didn’t even know they did exist,� Stan recalls. “The first time I bought them was in 1963 for two shillings and six pence. I was so excited and thought ‘How the hell did these stamps come to Australia?’.� The most precious in Stan’s collection comes from a 1914 set of three depicting Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Stand found the stamps on the back of a postcard sent from Sarajevo, the Croatian town in which Ferdinand was famously assassinated the same year, triggering World War One. Now a veteran of Geelong Philatelic Society, 72year-old Stan holds its Shrimpton Memorial Cup for services to local philately. The award dates back to 1934. “My name’s down there somewhere,� Stan says, pointing to the base of the cup. Stretched for room on the impressive silverware, Stan’s name has become a footnote in the society’s history. After relocating for a new job at Ford in 1964, the

Up close: Stan Klekovic puts one of his collectible coins under the magnifying glass. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 54527 Hamlyn Heights resident would also later join Geelong Numismatic Society for coins collectors. Word got around of his interest in commemorative coins but friends over the years have insisted on handing over foreign money from their trips overseas. “I should be rich by now,� Stan laughs. His fascinating oldest coin, dated 1863, is from R. Parker Ironmonger, of Moorabool Street. “That was when Australia was short of coins for change and they got permission to mint token coins,� Stan explains.

“They’re very rare and each city - Geelong, Ballarat, Melbourne - had their own.� More fascinating is Stan’s 5000 Kuna Croatian note from 1943, which found its way into circulation despite printers failing to pick up an absent prefix number and that half its colour was missing. Stan can also boast he coined Geelong Croatian Centre. He made a rough sketch of the new building and got an artist mate to make a mould for the design. “No, no, no, not the centre,� Stan hesitates, “I designed the coin.�

buckets & bouquets BUCKETS to Golden Plains shire for not contributing a cent when its dead tree fell on my powerline, which pulled off my mains box. The excuse was “natural causes”, not negligence. Thank goodness the tree did not land on my house. Out Of Pocket, Bannockburn BUCKETS to a dishonest business operator who reneged on a deal with a lady, causing many problems. You should be ashamed. Be warned, potential customers. Disgusted, Geelong West BOUQUETS to the person who returns three unnamed gift cards to the value of $250 lost at Kmart Belmont on September 18. The money was to be a down-payment on a Wii for which one of the children had been saving. Please restore my faith in humanity. Anica, Bell Post Hill

BOUQUETS to the kindhearted person who sent a lost DVD to Torquay’s library. My son lost the DVD in North Geelong and we had to reimburse the library but I just received my refund, which was a lovely surprise. It’s great to know good people are in our community. Jeannie, Jan Juc BOUQUETS to Ink on the Run’s Brett. He always goes over and beyond the call of duty with exceptional, prompt customer service. Even with the UCI bike race he patiently navigated his way around the traffic to attend to our printing needs. Ant, St Albans Park BOUQUETS to a woman I mistakenly abused while driving in Highton on October 8. I thought she was tailgating me when she was just trying to let me know I had left my laptop on the roof of my car. Many apologies for the misunderstanding and thanks for your kindness. Abashed, Corio BUCKETS to a Geelong West resident who thinks his front yard is a tip. It’s time you invested some time in cleaning up your yard. DT, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to Saffron Indian restaurant for the tastiest and cheapest Indian food in Geelong. Suzanne and Mal, Waurn Ponds BUCKETS to a council customer service operator whom I called about the dangerous way UCI barricades were being removed. She said: “Sorry, the UCI cycling finished last week, so there’s no one to talk to about that any more”. Council’s responsibility finished as soon as the winner crossed the line.

letters Riders want choice

Vote for the people

IN REPLY to Lyn George (Letters, October 8), yes, it is a golden opportunity to include motocross activities as part of the proposed motorsports hub at Avalon Airport. As a motorcycle enthusiast, it makes great sense. However, it would be detrimental for our communities if McAdam Park were to go. Having more than one legal off-road facility in a municipality the size of Geelong and its surrounding regions is what thousands of enthusiasts have always wanted. Since Geelong’s second facility closed at Breakwater there has been a noticeable increase in riding activity outside legal riding areas. Rightly or wrongly, riders do this because they want variety and the chance to explore something new, which is in part the essence of motorcycling. I thank Ms George for trying to help motorcyclists gain other riding opportunities but a better solution for our communities would be to spread riding over more facilities, thereby lessening the load on McAdam Park. Peter Ovens Moriac

WHILE moving around the South Barwon electorate I have found that people are apparently becoming disillusioned with poor political representation and the heavy handed tactics of the Brumby Government. Despite the veneer of so-called community consultation, quiet often the Brumby Government ignores the wishes of residents. Some examples include the Barwon Heads Bridge, stage four of the ring road project, the planned building of wind farms near homes and the establishment of geothermal plants in the Otways. I promise the people of South Barwon a fresh approach. I’m committed to being available, to being open and transparent and to genuinely representing the wishes of the community. My first allegiance is to the people who elect me. I refuse to be a yes man for any party. A vote for the Greens means a vote for Labor and heavy handed government. If you don’t want this or higher taxes and wasteful spending, then vote for the Democratic Labor Party. Alan Barron DLP candidate for South Barwon

Start of struggle DEPARTMENT of Finance’s Red Book to the Finance Minister warns that Federal Government would struggle to meet its economic goal of a budget surplus in 2012/2013 without severe cuts to defence, social welfare and health. On defence, I urge everybody to log on to www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/cuts-todefence-spending’stupid’ to read a good report on the depth of the cuts. The cuts to social welfare will be deep. You only have to read what is happening in the UK and Europe to know what is in store for Australia - middle-class welfare gone or means-tested and pensions frozen just for a start. Regarding health, now that most of the states have handed control of hospitals over to Federal Goverment and also a large slice of their GST, Julia Gillard will turn around and say ‘Sorry, no money for health, you will have to fund the health system by yourself’. Remember, this may only be the start. Dennis Atkins Corio

I WOULD like to highlight the exorbitant fees charged to users of the Queenscliff Harbour and the discriminatory discount afforded to the commercial fishing fleet at a cost to others. Commercial fishermen and charter boat operators have been given a 15 per cent discount by Queenscliff Harbour Pty Ltd. I have been forwarded correspondence from Queenscliff Harbour saying Parks Victoria will provide a further discount only to commercial fishermen, increasing their discount to 49 per cent. While I support the discount offered to commercial fisherman, I am at a loss as to why the discount has not extended to other user groups. In comparison, the fee structure that will operate from February will see charter boat operators’ berth fees rise from $3000 to $16,000. This is an untenable burden on these part-time, seasonal operators who do not have the opportunity to recoup these outrageous increases. Couta boat owners are in a similar plight, with unviable fees that exceed the Brumby Government’s earlier assurances on what they could expect to be charged. There is already significant community unrest about the management of operations at the harbour. The fact that favourable assistance is offered to only one section of the boating community is seen as unreasonable and discriminatory and will further

divide this close-knit coastal community. I suggest the minister and Queenscliff Harbour meet tourist boat operators and offer support similar to that extended to commercial fisherman or explain their reasons for not doing so. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

Climate fail GALILEO wrote: “In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual”. Answering a science exam question by writing that a certain theory must be right because more scientists than not believe in it would earn a fail. Only evidential proof gets a pass or an honour mark. When climate scientists manipulate or omit recorded data from computer modelling we do not have evidence. That’s denying truth and like doing a physics practical question going from the answer back to the question, which would be another fail. Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is a hypothesis devoid of evidential proof, so AGW also gets a fail. Australians need to come to grips with the scientific method - a hypothesis needs evidential proof. In science, weight of opinion or consensus does not count. No number of scientists, politicians, economists, engineers or voters who believe in the AGW hypothesis proves AGW. AGW is not “settled” science. Also, the Precautionary Principle applies more to the certainty that an unjustified tax will cripple this nation’s economy than to the unproven hypothesis that AGW might overheat the planet. Voters will punish politicians once it becomes common knowledge they were duped into being taxed based on lies within a disproved scientific hypothesis. Stop the carbon tax. We need a Royal Commission into the truth or otherwise of AGW. Only sworn scientific, not populist, evidence will stop the lies perpetrated in this important debate. Gordon Alderson North Geelong

letters

Fall trees, save humans from fires WE WERE saddened to read that greenies are still bleating about the trees cut down in Princess Street, Mannerin (Independent, October 1). Not one of the people in the story live in the street and all the residents of Princess Street with whom we have spoken are grateful to Powercor and council for clearing up an unsightly roadside mess and a fire and rodent harbour. If you live in a town you are expected to keep your naturestrip clean and mowed. No one would dare plant a heap of trees on

their naturestrip but we are apparently not allowed to remove a twig. What a lot of rot to say revegetation of the street would cost $250,000 when the local high school grows trees and sell them for next to nothing. Leave our street alone and go plant trees on your own properties, like we did. We will all pay more for power and rates if people are not stopped from planting trees under power lines. People are more important than trees. Peter and Jean Morton Mannerim Flashback: The October 1 report.

Objective failure ONE OF the innovative approaches of Barwon Water on the works associated with the proposed Northern Water Plant is not carrying out announced objectives. The plant is alongside Shell’s refinery to treat toxic wastes, reduce peak sewerage loads and produce 24/7 recycled water for industry to EPA standards. But these works will “shut down” if there is an upset, reverting to discharge to sewers with possible overflows. During the interruption, which may be several days, Shell will use potable water. I am unhappy with benzene in the sewer system. The problem should be solved using covered storages and better design. This is in the public interest, since half the $90 million project funding is from the public purse, with the remainder from Shell. Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Our toxic MPs I CANNOT emphasise enough my resentment at the forced fluoridation of our water supply. Having seen much of the information available regarding fluoride toxicity and the substance’s harmful effects, I am appalled that authorities have blundered forth and poisoned our highly-priced water in flagrant disregard of prevailing public opinion. The toxic mix added to Geelong’s water supply is

a mixture of unpurified fluoride and a number of other toxic substances which if fed to farm animals would have the RSPCA up in arms. I hope the people of Geelong see fit at the next state election to rid themselves of our flock of incumbent members who act in flagrant disregard of their electors and their children’s health. Let’s hope for a high number of independents so they can force some sanity into State Government decisions. Gary Oraniuk North Geelong

Support local traders The UCI is over, the streets are open again to vehicles and businesses want to get back to normal. As a result of the event, the reputation and recognition of this beautiful city and region are even more widely acclaimed, which will provide long-term benefits for Geelong. We have shown the world Geelong exists but, more importantly, we have shown State Government that Geelong can undertake and succeed in presenting world-class events and step up to the plate in representing the state and country. If this has not proven to state political parties that Geelong is a major events mecca that should be supported as often as possible to host key events, I don’t know what will. Now is the time for local media outlets to get behind the region in a positive manner. Local media wants Geelong business advertising while running negative editorial and counteracting the positive push that many individual businesses and groups work so hard to create.

Local media needs to accept responsibility for some of the unnecessary negativity during the event, especially in the first few days when locals needed to continue supporting businesses and the event. It’s now time for businesses to support each other and for the community in general to support Geelong businesses by buying local. The upcoming Central Geelong Sidewalk Sales on Melbourne Cup Day will bring significant economic value to business operators. Let’s make the 2010 Sidewalk Sales the most successful yet.

Just like sludge THE RED sludge disaster from a Hungarian aluminium refinery has now killed seven people, injured hundreds and is threatening to destroy life in the Danube River system across several countries. It was no surprise to hear the main ingredient of the sludge was fluoride. The death toll is from the fluoride and the sludge’s caustic nature. The fluoride used in water fluoridation is also a toxic waste sludge from either aluminium smelters or fertilizer production. Committee for Geelong, Barwon Water and State Government have a lot to answer for after promoting the enforcement of this hazardous chemical into our kitchen taps for our consumption.

Amy’s young and the Restless

On the road: Amy Meredith plays in Geelong next week.

BY ERIN PEARSON MAKING an album is like giving birth to a baby, according to Amy Meredith drummer Kosta Theodosis. Theodosis told the Independent that delivering Restless, the band’s latest album, was “a long time in the making”. “We recorded it about a year ago and then it probably took the best part of six months to get it pressed and out,” he said. “It was like creating a baby with five partners. “It was a really huge relief when we finally got it out.” Amy Meredith will play tracks off the album in Geelong next week. Theodosis said Restless featured a “fairly diverse” mix of songs. “From one of the first songs we wrote, Black Eyes, to latest track to hit the charts, Young At Heart, I think there’s a couple of raunchy, rock and slower songs. “Getting this mix wasn’t real easy. You’d think having five guys in a room would produce some songs but when you do it, it doesn’t really work, you don’t get s—done,” Theodosis laughed. “Now Christian writes the lyrics, which is something he’s really passionate about, or we go on writing trips.” The band is now heading into

their 12th month of non-stop touring and Theodosis said being on the road wasn’t always all roses. “I grew up with Joel, so I’ve known him for over 10 years and it’s the same with Christian,” he said. “You do have five guys in a hotel room though, so there’s going to be a bit of conflict over stupid things like where the soap’s gone or who used my towel but I can’t complain – it keeps life exciting. “We love being on the road. I like living out of a suitcase.” The Amy Meredith tour takes in 18 dates across Australia on the back of chart success with smash hit single Lying. Last month the album debuted on the ARIA charts at number eight after Lying smashed into the top ten on the ARIA singles chart. “We’ve just finished touring with Grinspoon, which was unreal because we all used to listen to them as kids,” Theodosis said. “All the shows were great shows, so we did make a few fans and people did go to see us but the real realisation now is while doing our first ever head-lining shows and people are coming to see just us. “In Perth three of our four shows were sold out.” Amy Meredith plays at the Barwon Club on October 21.

Bethany Chief Executive Officer Grant Boyd knows that the recruitment and retention of volunteer tutors is an important component of the Tute Groups’ success.

Tute Groups are located at Corio and Corio South Primary Schools and are attended by aboriginal students, Karen students from Burma and other grade five and six students.

The Tute Group – Bethany Shell Homework Clubs have gone from strength to strength during 2010 thanks in part to the generous involvement of its volunteer tutors.

LOSING WEIGHT WITH MANDY FISHER

M

any people believe that exercise is the key to losing weight. I often hear people say they are overweight because they don’t exercise. It is also well-documented that exercise has many far-reaching benefits. Many walking enthusiasts who picked up the habit either reduce their risk of disease, beat depression or enjoy countless other major health rewards. But contrary to popular belief, exercising is apparently not the best way to lose weight. Research shows we are not less active than we were 20 years ago. In fact, Professor John Speakman, of Aberdeen University, says the growing obesity problem is down to people eating too much, not a lack of exercise. After analysing two decades of studies on energy expenditure he found that, despite a growing reliance on time-saving technology, people today are not less active than 20 years ago. Also, International Journal of Obesity has reported that the decline in the number of children walking to school and a rise in watching TV do not necessarily equate to weight gain. Children driven to school have more time to spend running around in the playground, while watching evening TV has replaced other sedentary activities such as reading and listening to the radio. So if we have a weight challenge we would like to overcome then we need to look at cutting back on the amount of food we consume. Eating off a smaller plate is a particularly effec-

Donate bras and win with Contours BY SAM JONES hat a response! In just one week we have had over 200 bras donated, putting us on target to generate donations of 1000 bras for women in need. For the month of October, the team at Contours Geelong will collect donations of bras for Project Uplift. The project supplies the donations to women in need across Africa. The women at Contours Geelong managed to clean out their drawers to generously donate over 500 unused bras to Project Uplift last year, so in 2010 we’re aiming for 1000. This year we have also opened our Project Uplift campaign to the whole community. Sometimes we forget how such a little thing can help. As well as the security bras can give women in some African countries, recipients who have gone through the ordeal of cancer can also gain heightened self-esteem and confidence from something as simple as a mastectomy bra. The donated bras are going to places where women may never have had access to such a special-

As an extra incentive to donate, Contours Geelong and the Independent have come together to provide two prize packs comprising a Contours Geelong 12month membership and a $150 Bras and Things voucher. Anyone who makes donations goes into the draw to win.

For further details please free to come down and see the team at Contours East Geelong , corner of Bellarine Highway and Wilsons Road, Newcomb, phone 5248 5545; or Contours Geelong West, 2/131 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights, phone 5229 8335. * Sam Jones is of Contours East Geelong and Geelong West.

The whisper quiet Solar Whiz reduces heat build up in your ceiling by removing hot air from your roof space. On those searing hot days coming this summer, your roof space may reach temperatures as high as 70 degrees. Heat trapped above your ceiling will permeate through to your living space increasing the load on your air-conditioner – costing you money. SolarWhiz is the answer.

For more information and a no obligation visit call Phil on 0417 554791

Unlike other roof ventilators the SolarWhiz only ventilates in summer when you need it thanks to the unique micro switch and damper control operated from inside your home. On those hot, still days when other roof ventilators (Whirlybirds) are stationary, the SolarWhiz uses photovoltaic power to cool your home. Priced from $990 the SolarWhiz will recover it's cost quickly through reduced electricity bills from the first 25 deg. plus day.

Amazing New Viewmaster ULTRA Window Films for your home All the benefits of tinted windows without them looking tinted.

U

Elegant barely visible appearance Great solar heat and UV rejection Enhances beautiful views Cuts annoying glare Energy efficient Very low reflectivity inside and out Reduces fading of floors and furnishings

For high tech innovation, unsurpassed quality and a price you can afford

Amazing ULTRA window film The Five Star Energy Efficiency program for houses in Victoria concentrates on insulating the building to keep heat in the house in winter. In summer we want to keep our house cool, but the rating scheme omits the most important factor - the sun’s radiant energy. The sun’s heating rays, just like light rays, travel straight through glass including through double glazing. This results in the largest heat gain for the house in summer. One way to moderate it is to shut blinds and curtains - which delays the sun’s effects - but darkens your room and stops you seeing out. Another way is to install external blinds to shade the windows, but these are expensive, are easily damaged by the weather and still spoil your view out. This is where TintMaster comes in. Its amazing new and unique Ultra Solar Control window film, applied to the interior of the glass, blocks the ultra-violet energy and most of the infra-red energy which causes the heating effect but it lets in the light and lets you see out clearly. It is the best way to get maximum energy efficiency in summer and to reduce your air-conditioning use and electricity bills. And it still has all the other benefits of solar window film - reduces fading of your valuable furnishings, reduces the reflections on your TV screen, adds to your privacy, holds the glass together if you get a broken window and helps to keep your radiant heat in the house in winter. 500925-JF41-10

hris Nolan calls them extreme vehicles, but they look more like beach buggies on steroids. He claims the machines are the most radical 4x4s on the planet. The purpose-built vehicle can tackle the most severe terrain, climb vertically over rocks and hold their position at a 180 degree angle. Chris runs Ragged Edge 4x4 extreme driving range based at Avalon Raceway where adrenalin junkies looking for a near death experience can drive one of these monsters around a course of rocks and impossibly steep grades. “It’s all about unlearning what people have learned about fourwheel-driving. Some drivers will find it very foreign to the type of driving they are used to,� Chris said. “About the fastest these things will go is about 10km/h. It’s all about angles and gearing.� A 350 Chev crate engine powers the big 44-inch tyres. “You can drive them up a wall put it in front wheel drive and you can drag the nose of the vehicle across the face of the wall then drive it side ways along the wall. A lot of this stuff you can’t do with a normal vehicle,� Chris explained. “With these, you can disconnect the front or rear-wheel-drive and can actually drive them like a bobcat with a skid steer.� “They are pretty basic just gear driven but they just split the drive train. “With a rear wheel driven car they go straight through the rear wheel drive shaft. “In our cars there is an idler gear in the transfer case and another gear that sends the same power to the front - very, very simple.� Or, as Chris explained, there are front and rear steering options. The front wheels are controlled with the conventional steering wheel and the rear wheels can be turned using a rudder-type control located beside the driver’s seat. “When both front and rear wheels are used to steer, the vehicle can be pivoted on its own length.� After Chris completed a fine arts degree about 10 years ago he got interested in four-wheel-driving and built up a competition car thinking the sport might be poised to get really big.

C

Twist and shake: Extreme angles have destroyed 10 diffs. Pictures Tommy Ritchie 54658 “The sport really didn’t go anywhere, but I decided to stay with the extreme vehicles,� he said. “I originally modified a Land Cruiser but that led to other problems where we couldn’t legally take it on the road. So we were restricted to using it on private property. That’s when I developed a business model for the Ragged Edge experience at Avalon Raceway.� Chris said the main design consideration with the vehicle is to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. “The engine has been mounted right down low in the chassis. With a normal four-wheel-drive the engine usually sits above the diff. “In this vehicle the engine sits behind the diff which is why we can do off-camber work and the vehicle stays quite stable. “The transfer case is a custom unit that was developed in America and is favoured by the competition teams. “It has got a ratio of 6:1 depth. Most four-wheel drives would be in a 1:1 in high range and 2:1 in low range, where as these vehicles

are 6:1 in low range.� Chris said the vehicle has been built from scratch using parts from a Rockwell 10-wheel drive military vehicle. “The Rockwells are big beefy things and we have grafted the knuckle and outer hubs.� The chassis is built from box tube and the cage is attached to the chassis rail and body panels are bolted to the chassis. Although the vehicles are built tough and driven at slow speeds, maintenance is high. “We spend the weekend breaking them and the following week Rally Motors fixes them for us.� The weak area is the diff, while the sheer size of the tyres and the gearing are mostly responsible for the damage to the front wheel pinions and differentials, he said. “So far we have blown up 10 diffs. “The angles we drive the car at also affect the oil pressures so we have to be careful not to over fill them. “Gearbox drive shafts also tend to take a battering but this is par for the course in this type of business.�

Steering options: Chris Nolan said the vehicles have front and rear steering capabilities, both controlled from the driver’s seat.

Dream machine: Motoring enthusiasts can only dream of owning a Bentley. to have it as part of Supercar Central at Motorclassica,” he said. “Underneath the sensational styling of the SuperSports lurks a serious and sophisticated race tested all-aluminium chassis and a high performance V8-engined sports car from the 101year-old Morgan Motor Company. “The Aero SuperSports is the final evolution of the successful Aero range, and is a Limited Edition model with just 175 to be built. “Its extraordinary combination of tradition and technology makes it the perfect complement for our other supercars, including such legendary cars as the McLaren F1 and Jaguar XJ220. “These cars remind us that a car need not be old to be a classic – the Morgan and Bentley are brand new models, and yet they are true modern classics from the very beginning, embodying all the character that has made them two of the world’s most admired marques.” Motorclassica, the Australian International Concours d’Elegance and Classic Motor Show is on in Melbourne next week at the Royal Exhibition Building from 22 to 24 October.

egendary British car builders Morgan and Bentley will unveil new models at Motorclassica in Melbourne next week. Bentley Motors will present the new Mulsanne, and Morgan will give the Aero SuperSports its first Australian showing. Both cars made international debuts at similar concours d’elegance events in Europe and the United States, and they will present their cars to the public at Motorclassica’s Supercar Central. Motorclassica event director Paul Mathers said the elegance, beauty and performance represented by Motorclassica made the perfect setting for the two iconic British brands to show their latest offerings. “Bentley Motors launched the Mulsanne last year at Pebble Beach, so it’s fitting that its first public showing in Victoria should be at the nearest thing Australia has ever had to that wonderful event,” he said. “Bentley Motors will be showing two cars which effectively ‘bookend’ its range – its biggest and most luxurious car in the Mulsanne and the hardest, fastest and most extreme car it has ever built in the form of the Continental Supersports. “For those who love their Bentleys, we will have almost an embarrassment of riches, with several ‘WO’ Bentleys plus beautiful classics from both Derby and Crewe.” Morgan will have just the one car at Motorclassica – but what a car! This is the very first Aero SuperSports in Australia and the first time it has ever been seen in this country Mr Mathers said the arrival of the new Morgan was an unexpected bonus for Motorclassica. “The car has now arrived and cleared Customs, and we are delighted

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 people’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 owners’ 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 – 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.

New Cats clash strip

New: The clash strip.

GEELONG Cats has released its new clash strip for 2011. The new jumper streamlines the previous clash guernsey to reflect the Cats’ traditional hoops. The design of three sets of white lines and a small Cat logo on the left breast replaces this year’s version of a predominantly large white Cats’ face on a blue strip. The guernsey is only worn when the Cats meet North Melbourne in away games to avoid confusion between the stripes and hoops. The club has considered also wearing the playing jumper for NAB preseason matches. The AFL requires clubs to design alternative strips, while Geelong required a predominantly blue strip.

new coach for next season. McCartney’s name was mentioned in dispatches as a possible replacement. Football operations general manager Neil Balme said the club’s plans for McCartney differed to his own aspirations. “It was in the club’s plans for Brendan to become a development coach who would solely focus on developing our younger players,” Balme said. “However, he has now informed us he is looking to pursue a senior match-day role.” Geelong-raised McCartney had been an assistant coach at the club for the past 11 years.

In trade week, Djerrkura was passed on to the Bulldogs for pick 57. Geelong eventually traded Jeremy Laidler and pick 41 in this year’s national draft for picks 36 and 53. Laidler was keen to secure a spot in a Blues defence that struggled at times this year. The signatures of Milburn and Wojcinski confirmed that Laidler, who played just one game this year, would battle to break into the hardened Cats side again in 2011. “It was a bit frustrating but it’s pretty hard to change an AllAustralian backline,” he told SEN radio.

KIDS PARTIES

BY ANDREW MATHIESON THE exodus out of Kardinia Park has continued several days after Geelong coach Mark Thompson and superstar Gary Ablett walked out on the club. Cats assistant coach Brendan McCartney departed the club on Tuesday when he accepted a senior position as right-hand man to Essendon’s new coach James Hird. McCartney’s exit is a blow to the Cats, after Thompson handpicked him from Richmond in 1999 after a conversation in the Punt Road Oval car park. Injury-prone Max Rooke announced his retirement the next day from a chronic knee injury. Rooke was sad to farewell premiership teammates. “I’m shattered that I’ve been forced into retirement due to this knee injury but I have to think of my long-term wellbeing,” he said. Fringe players Jeremy Laidler and Nathan Djerrkura asked the club to be traded last week, with both finding new homes at Carlton and Western Bulldogs respectively. But while the Cats let go of some youth, they held faith with some familiar faces. Player manager Paul Connors confirmed Geelong had re-signed 33-year-old Darren Milburn and 30-year-old David Wojcinski to new one-year deals. The future of Milburn had been under speculation in football circles public after the club was forced to start the search for a

sport Variety show lures anglers to estuary On the bite BRIAN LONG THE BARWON River estuary produced some outstanding captures in the past week, with a wide variety of species taken. Dwayne Knott fished upstream of the Sheepwash where his bass yabbies and sandworms caught trevally, salmon, mullet and bream during a hot three-hour session on the run-up to high tide. One of his bream was a beauty of 1.4kg, while his largest trevally weighed 1.2kg. Ken and Mick Faith enjoyed similar results but on soft plastics, landing over 40 fish during Sunday morning. Corey Gallagher took the prize for the biggest bream from the estuary with an outstanding fish of more than 1.7kg. Bill Hartshorne and son Jack fished the mouth of the estuary with Eco Gear VX 35 vibe lures to catch any number of salmon along with Jack’s first mullet. At Queenscliff Cut, John Mole demonstrated his uncanny ability to catch trevally on soft plastics. Using small curl-tail grubs cast under moored boats, John landed fish when most struggled. Queenscliff anglers struggled to find squid in the generally discoloured water. Inside Swan Bay Greg Jarvis berleyed up two nice gummy shark, the best just over 4kg, this was along with two flathead weighing more than 1kg each. Whiting specialists caught good numbers of fish from Coles Channel banks and St Leonards where fresh squid baits are a clear winner at present. Small snapper and whiting were available at Long Reef, with the first two hours of the run-off tide producing all the action. After hammering the squid of Clifton Springs, Simon D’Antino used his quality fresh bait for a couple of hours on the bend of the nearby channel looking for a snapper. It didn’t take long before he and son Ryder had three fish in the boat, with Ryder nailing the biggest snapper he has ever caught at just over 4kg. Also fishing the channel line off Clifton Springs was Frank Gray who caught three fish of 2.4kg, 3.5kg and 6kg on sliver whiting. Murray Moore contacted me about the appalling state of the Point Richards boat ramp. Massive amounts of weed have drifted in, making the ramp extremely difficult to use and leaving many vehicles bogged. Don Welsh tried his luck in close to Bird Rock where he caught 20 garfish in short time using a berley trail. Don finished with a bag of flathead and small snapper as well, with the best of the bite just on high tide and as the tide started running out. In Corio Bay, Peter McCarthy cast

Catches of the day: Corey Gallagher with his 1.7kg bream and photo competition winner Lachlan Wilson, 8, with one of his two rainbow trout. small metal lures to land five pike to 70cm at the North Shore rocks. Chan Ho landed 12 nice snapper over two outings on Geelong’s waterfront using chicken marinated in tuna oil. Chan said fishing after dark was best. Anglers should keep an eye on both Cunningham and Yarra Street piers where trevally and trevalla have shown up. Surf reports have begun filtering through, with Black Rock returning snapper averaging 900g along with trevally of a similar weight. Torquay and Collendina have rewarded patient anglers with the odd snapper to 4kg. The Curdies has fired up for bream, with large bags being taken on lures, particularly VX 35 vibes in the dark colours.

In freshwater, the Barwon River should fire again next week after becoming discoloured. I saw two nice brown trout from West Barwon Reservoir on Tuesday, with the best weighing 1.7kg. Both were taken on the new Rapala X Rap 04 lures. Mark Wilson reported that his eightyear-old son Lachlan landed two nice rainbow trout on consecutive casts at Daylesford’s Lake Jubilee, with his effort winning the Independent’s first Shimano Catch of the Week Photo Competition. Send reports and photo competition entries to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Ray Long’s Tackle World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

Cats off to ideal start A NEW-LOOK Geelong Cricket Club First XI got off to the perfect start last weekend with two dominant victories from two one-day matches. In both matches the Cats bowled first to set up the win with some classy bowling, firstly from Marc Carson who has gone from talented youngster to almost a veteran of the attack in the blink of an eye. He snared three wickets in each game. Young gun Meyrick Buchanan took three on Saturday, while leg spinner Jeremy Hart claimed two of his own on Sunday. With the bat, Matthew Harrison enjoyed a bright start on scores of 29 and 90, while Matthew Dean kicked off his season with a nice half century. Such was the dominant display that captain Liam Buchanan had the luxury of not being required to bat in either game, although a hit this week would probably be a good idea. Geelong travels to Toorak Park tomorrow to take on Prahran, which also won two matches last week. The only Geelong Cricket Association division one match this round involves two of last year’s finalists when Grovedale and St Josephs clash at Burdoo Reserve. St Josephs got off to a bright start last weekend with a comprehensive victory over Manifold Heights. While veterans Daniel Fanning and David Morgan were prominent, it was good to see a bevy of quality youngsters get a run. After serving their apprenticeships in the club’s lower grades, it appears a changing of the guard has taken place at Joeys. Grovedale, on the other hand, has decided to not only continue with its true and tested stars but has added even more experience to its line-up, with brothers Kelvin and Clinton Ford and Rod Kiddle all returning to the club. Last week the Tigers were involved in a tight match with Geelong West, so tight that the two sides couldn’t be separated and the match ending in a tie. Kelvin Ford and Nick Peterson both scored half centuries, while Gareth Yelland took three wickets. Expect the youthful St Josephs to win a tight contest here. Other selections: Manifold Heights, v LARA, South Barwon v GEELONG WEST, EAST BELMONT v Lara, NORTH GEELONG v Thomson, Newtown and Chilwell v BELL POST HILL.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Waurn Ponds hosts St Peters in the division two match of the round. St Peters has enjoyed a solid run of form over the past couple of seasons, turning itself into a quality division two side. The recruitment of players such as David Boyd and David Hambrook, combined with club veterans Stephen Illingworth and Charlie Lamb, gives the team a good mix of talent. Waurn Ponds has also enjoyed the fruits of recruiting from division one clubs, with Damien Port and Shane Skene two of its better players the past few seasons. After a good first up win last week, Waurn Ponds will hope to continue its good form but a win against St Peters might be too much of an ask. Other selections: Marshall v ALEXANDER THOMSON, North Shore v HIGHTON, Torquay v GEELONG CITY, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Nexcomb and District, Murgheboluc v GUILD ST.MARYS. After being an easy-beat for years, Meredith’s winter recruiting spree returned an impressive first-up victory, with the side this weekend in match-of-the-round status in division three against Teesdale. Ty Watts has joined the club from Bell Post Hill as captain-coach and has brought a number of his Panthers teammates with him. Teesdale will be no pushover, however, as one of the dominant sides in this divsion for a number of years. Teesdale had the bye last week but will be raring to hit the ground running. Meredith has a big chance to show the competition it has arrived, so I expect it will win and send out a message that it’s a big chance this season. Other selections: Bell Park v LITTLE RIVER, Lethbridge v MODEWARRE, BANNOCKBURN v Inverleigh, Corio Bay v WINCHELSEA, Corio bye.
