Carve up: Links Living’s latest plan for the former Geelong Golf Club site.

Agreement: Stretch Kontelj.

Consultation: Eddy Kontelj.

Bid to take golf site He said the agreement stipulated that Links must return either the land or its proposed nine-hole golf course to council if the redevelopment was unviable. But Links’s submission to the advisory hearing said the “commercially unviable” nine-hole course would lose $245,000. Cr Kontelj said the viability of the course was not Links’ concern. “Council has underwritten the nine-hole course,” he said. “Council runs many facilities not commercially viable but does so for the social aspect. “Here we have fantastic open

space that we’d like to retain into perpetuity and we’d seriously look at taking it on despite its nonviability.” Cr Kontelj said Links should either hand council the undeveloped land or the course after it was developed under the agreement. Planning Minister Justin Madden has called in a Woolworths application to build a retail development on part of the golf course site. Cr Kontelj said Links was using plans the Woolworths application in attempt to escape the section 173 agreement.

“This is an attempt by Links to wriggle out of its obligations in order to maximise a return from this land,” he said. “If the minister deals with the Woolworths site, Links believes council would have to revisit the 173 agreement at the bargaining table to vary it.” Cr Eddy Kontelj said the public meeting would be an opportunity for community consultation on the course’s future. “Since 2006 there has been a lot of speculation, rumour and innuendo as to what will happen on this site,” he said.

acceptance and buy-in from the community, which will be favourable to them going forward.” Cr Kontelj was adamant the meeting was not a waste of time because of other ongoing planning processes affecting the site. “The community has no other recourse in the current planning processes, so this is all they have.” The public meeting will start 6pm July 12 at Geelong West Town Hall. Links spokesperson Ron Smith said the developer had no comment.

“There have been lots of project proposals and residents are confused as a result. They should know what and when something will happen. “Residents haven’t had an opportunity for consultation or to give feedback during this time.” Cr Kontelj said councillors could use feedback from residents in future deliberations with the developer to try reaching an amicable resolution. “The developer has the opportunity to take community views on board and try to develop the area in a manner that will receive

Leader: Julia Gillard.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON NEW PRIME Minister Julia Gillard’s ascension to the top job will enhance Labor’s chances of retaining a marginal Geelong seat, according to the MP under pressure. Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman endorsed the federal parliamentary party takeover that delivered Australia’s first female leader last week. Mr Cheeseman said he had been a “very strong supporter for a long time” of Ms Gillard. The Liberals accused him of “undermining” former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd earlier this year when Mr Cheeseman said outside Parliament House that she was “naturally in line” for the job. This week he defended her ascension to the top job after the first ousting of a first-term Prime Minister in Australia. “As she observed, the Government had lost its way a little,” Mr Cheeseman said. “She obviously decided she

was best place to lead the Labor Party. “There was no (leadership) vote in the end but I was still extremely supportive of Julia and I think it’s absolutely fantastic for our region.” Labor’s Corangamite candidate for the 2007 election shocked pundits when he gained a 6.2 per cent swing to win the traditionally safe Liberal-held seat by about 1400 votes. The seat, which takes in southern Geelong, the northern end of the Surf Coast and the southern half of the Bellarine Peninsula, is Australia’s fourth-most marginal federal electorate. Mr Cheeseman said he expected a boost to his re-election prospects from Mr Rudd’s decision to stand down in favour of Ms Gillard. “I think Government-held marginal seats are in better shape now than what we were two weeks ago before the leadership change.” Mr Cheeseman tipped a federal election in either late August or

early September. He planned to bring the new Prime Minister to the region in the next few weeks. “I won’t put a time frame on it but I will say there are more than 150 federal seats in Australia and it will take the Prime Minister time to get around.” Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said in a statement to the Independent that backing Ms Gillard’s popularity to help win the marginal seat would be fanciful. She said Ms Gillard was one of the “gang of four” that “bungled” policy decisions with the home insulation scheme and mismanaged school buildings program, both of which had cost taxpayers billions of dollars. “Everyone knows this is the same horse but with a different jockey,” she said. “She was put there by Labor’s factional warlords and union bosses.”

Tech failures leaving our ambulances ‘lost’ BY ERIN PEARSON FAULTY technology is leaving Geelong ambulances lost in the field, state parliament has heard. Liberal MLC Jan Kronberg told the upper house ambulance dispatchers were losing track of ambulances due to the fault with “status buttons”. Staff had noted that the fault made it “difficult to know accurately where your resources are”, she said. “This sounds like Keystone Kops. It is appalling,” Ms Kronberg said. Ambulance Employees Association of Victoria’s Steve McGhie confirmed the “widespread” problem. “The status buttons are pressed by the ambos to inform the communica-

tion centre of their whereabouts but they aren’t working,” he said. “It means the communication centre doesn’t know the status of their ambulances unless they call in but many drivers aren’t even aware of this and don’t know they aren’t working.” Mr McGhie said the problem left dispatchers unsure whether multiple ambulances were on their way to a single call-out. “The dangers are dispatchers don’t know where their crews are or whether or not they’re loaded or unloaded,” he said. “[Dispatchers] lose control of where their crew are, which means more than one vehicle could respond to a call.”

Ambulance Victoria had not responded to the Independent’s calls for comment before the paper went to press. Meanwhile, Liberal candidate for Geelong Alastair Thomson accused sitting Labor MP Ian Trezise of failing to guarantee the future of McKillop Street’s ambulance station. Mr Thomson said he believed State Government planned to close the station despite its central location in Geelong. “Recently situations have arisen where patients have been taken to hospital by police in the back of a divvy van and others have been forced to drive themselves to hospital due to ambu-

Exercisers Latin it all hang out in Zuma craze BY ANDREW MATHIESON A NEW exercise craze has throngs of participants shimmying and shaking across the Geelong region to infectious Latin American beats. Zumba workshops have spread from the Bellarine Peninsula across Geelong since the first classes started in February. The workout combines Latin and international music with dance moves to provide an aerobic workout with a difference. Zumba Geelong founder Kathryn Rae said suggesting the dance fitness program had merely “taken off” in the region failed to capture the excitement behind the new craze. “Last Monday we had 20 new students off the streets come in,” she said. “It’s like that all the time now.” More than 1000 members have joined a Zumba Geelong Facebook page since the craze arrived in the city. Workshops have spread throughout Drysdale, Grovedale, Hamlyn Heights, Lara and Geelong. “One of my girls summed it up as a major addiction – it’s like chocolate but you don’t put on the weight, you lose the weight,” Ms Rae said. She described Zumba as being to modern exercise what aerobics was during the 1980s.

lances being unavailable,” he said. “The local member must immediately guarantee the McKillop Street ambulance station remains open, is properly staffed and resourced to meet the needs of the Geelong community rather than be redeployed to Belmont.” But Mr Trezise said the McKillop Street station had not housed ambulances for “many years.” “They run out of Barwon Health,” he said. “What we’re doing is providing a new space in Belmont. There are plans to shift the radio base from McKillop Street to the Belmont station because that’s all that’s there but these plans haven’t been finalised.”

The workout was accidentally created in Colombia when an aerobics teacher forgot his music and improvised with the only tapes he had in his backpack –Latin salsa and merengue, Ms Rae said. Zumba combined both forms to create routines featuring interval training with fast and slow rhythms and resistance training to tone the body while burning fat. “Zumba is more like the exotic dance moves that everyone always wished they could learn turned into a fun routine,” Ms Rae said. “It’s turned classes into a little club venue – without the alcohol.” Lara’s Cara Ponte only joined her first class less than a fortnight ago when her naturopath recommended Zumba. Ms Ponte said she came back feeling so terrific that she was compelled to write on her Facebook page: “Zumba, where have you been all my life?” Ms Ponte said the dance movements made Zuma an easier workout than aerobics. “You really do burn a lot calories doing it,” she said. “It’s like an aerobic workout but with dance movements instead. “I’m finding it really good because I’m already doing group exercise anyway.”

in brief Woman killed AN ELDERLY St Leonards woman has died and her husband is seriously injured after a car crash in western Victoria on Sunday afternoon. Police have charged the 18-year-old driver of the other car with culpable driving over the death of Margaret Witham whose husband, Donald, was listed as in a serious but stable condition on Wednesday.

Riding high CHILDREN in City of Greater Geelong are number one in Australia for riding to school, according to a national survey. Victorian municipalities filled the top five places for school participation in this year’s National Ride2School Day.

Billions unwilled ABOUT $28 billion in personal wealth of Geelong region residents remains without the protection of wills, according to a law firm’s research. Slater and Gordon said almost half of local families did not have valid wills, leaving their wealth open to contest after the death of a family member.

Ford anniversary FORD Australia is celebrating 85 years in Geelong and a half-century for its iconic Falcon range. Ford said its “special birthday” celebrated the 1925 opening of its North Geelong factory, which began producing Australia’s oldest vehicle nameplate in 1960.

Railway parks A CAR park for 2500 vehicles will service a “future railway station” at Waurn Ponds, according to Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield. He said Armstrong Creek Railway Station would service new suburbs to grow south of Geelong as well as the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula.

Racing water A NEW watering system worth almost half a million dollars will help keep Geelong Racing Club’s turf track in optimum condition, according to officials. Racing Victoria’s Paul Bittar said the system would be “critical” to maintaining the quality of the track with sufficient cushioning for horses while eliminating potential surface “bias”.

Bypass meeting A PUBLIC meeting will discuss options for residents to fight plans for a bypass link to Surf Coast Highway at Grovedale. Residents fearing the link will devalue their nearby homes plan to host the meeting at Grovedale Community Centre from 7pm this Friday ahead of talks with Vicroads next week.

City up, down on green credentials BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG has been both congratulated and criticised for its green credentials in the same week. The region ranked as Australia’s second-least sustainable city in an Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) 2010 Sustainable Cities Index. But Energy and Resources Minister Peter Batchelor lauded Geelong’s efforts in an Energy Saver Incentive (ESI) scheme for buying and using energy-

efficient products and services. The ACF index ranked each of Australia’s 20 largest cities according to environmental performance, quality of life and resilience to change. While Darwin placed in the top position as Australia’s most sustainable city, Geelong placed second last, above only Perth. The report compared factors such as air quality, ecological footprint, green buildings, water, health, transport, density, employment, education and food production.

ACF executive director Don Henry said poor marks were the result of wastefulness, booming populations and poor planning. “Australia’s major cities consistently rate among the most liveable but liveability is not the same as sustainability,” Dr Henry said. “Australians use more water and energy and own more cars per person than the citizens of almost any other developed country.” But Mr Batchelor said Geelong’s participation in the

energy saving scheme was “exceptional”. “City of Greater Geelong has contributed significantly to helping cut Victoria’s energy emissions by recording more than 27,000 ESI activities - the most of any of the regional areas.” The Energy Saver Incentive offers consumers discounts or other incentives on energy efficiency products including weather sealing, lighting, heating, hot water systems and double-glazing windows.

Young car enthusiast masters art awards BY ERIN PEARSON A LOVE for all things involving cars has earned pint-sized Ben Tasevski to a people’s choice art award in a Geelong’s showcase of junior creativity. The 10-year-old Lara Lake primary student won the leading category in front of 500 people at a Masters in the Making presentation for his painting The Ferrari. Ben said he painted the car in his Little Picasso art class. “I love art and mostly enjoy drawing cars and science fiction,” he said. “I asked my friends at school what I should paint and they said a red Ferrari - so I did.” With a smile from ear to ear, Ben said he spent six hours on his masterpiece. “I was really shocked when I found out I won and mum was very proud,” he said. Ben received a certificate and a $100 art supplies voucher. He celebrated with a trip to the movies. The two week Masters in the Making exhibition at art@wintergarden showcased the work of junior artists from around Geelong.

Currently the port of Geelong generates around $360 million for the Victorian economy each year, and already creates more than 1,300 jobs. In 2008/09, it handled nearly 10 million tonnes of cargo with an estimated value of $6.6 billion. This is despite the most severe drought in the region’s history and the devastating effects of the global economic crisis. The economic impact study predicts that by 2030, imports and exports would triple, surging to nearly 35 million tonnes and generating more than 4,320 direct and indirect full time jobs. Gross regional product will jump from $180 million to more than $550 million, and Geelong, with its deep-water berths, industry-best cargo handling facilities and strategic road and rail links, will grab an increasingly larger share of the car import industry. Increased trade translates to a need for construction and upgrading of port facilities to accommodate the movement of additional cargo. More activity in the port means more jobs, income, and positive flow-on effects for local industries. The companies that use the port create jobs and generate income for households in Geelong, the Barwon region and throughout Victoria – if the port wasn’t here, these jobs and this income source would simply not exist. The positive forecast in this report will give port-related businesses the confidence to invest in the port of Geelong in the long term, securing the future prosperity of the region and the state. The port of Geelong is expecting to manage a 35 per cent increase in trade and shipping by 2020. New facilities and expanded operations will create employment, provide greater security and better service to the businesses that currently use the port and create many new business opportunities.

Trade and employment in the port of Geelong is set to triple by 2030 according to the latest economic analysis. The economic impact study was commissioned by six major organisations to measure the economic impact of port related activities on both state and regional economies. The report predicts a vibrant and positive future for Victoria’s largest regional port and provides current day and future forecasts of the important role the port plays to Victoria and the Barwon region. The results of the report were recently announced by Roads and Ports Minister Tim Pallas who spoke of the port’s bright future and stressed the importance of meeting its full growth potential.

HUGE RED UCT IONS TO CELEBRATE

Geo plant ‘12 months away’ would watch the project closely after meeting Greenearth Energy and residents. However, he warned the project was doomed without Federal Government setting a scheme to cut carbon dioxide emissions. “I’m interested to see how they will go with the test drill – that will determine the economics,” he said. “In order to develop a site [Greenearth Energy] need a price on carbon and a tough target on emission reductions. The problem with what the Government is offering is they don’t have either of those things.” Greenearth Energy must find private backing by the end of 2010 to retain more than $25 million in State Government funding. Federal Government has also committed funding to the project. The Independent revealed last year that the plant would have potential to produce 150 times more energy than Victoria used in a year.

New leaders predict chamber change BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S peak business group will embark on an era of change, according to its new leadership. Recently appointed executive officer Greg Rowe and president Jim Walsh plan to focus on reinforcing Geelong Chamber of Commerce’s relationships with other organisations around the region as well as boosting membership. “There have been times when there’s been an uneasy working relationship between key organisations in the region but we’re coming into a period of working very well together,” Mr Walsh said. “We’ll re-look at old assumptions and consider our priorities as we go through a change in focus. Geelong is on the cusp of opportunities and there’s a positive feeling in business sector.” Mr Walsh is finance director at Geelong’s Godfrey Hirst. Mr Rowe was previously director of marketing and business development at KPMG Management Consulting. Mr Rowe said the chamber of commerce wanted to be “more member-oriented”. “I’ll go out and talk to businesses at the coalface and leave the strategic vision to the board. “We want to refresh the benefits and make membership more attractive.” Long-serving executive officer Lawrie Miller formally retires this Friday after 15 years

well the process should only take a few months. “If we provide evidence there is a resource we should then see construction in the first half of 2011.” The geothermal plan has angered a group of Gherang residents worried about environmental risks and potential for water contamination. Mr Molesworth said ongoing community consultation was a priority. “Most important for us now is the community and the requirements for ongoing community consultation and an environmental safeguard process,” he said. “The site requires the drilling of two initial holes, depending on the drilling pad area, and the drilling will be located clearly away from residents and life. “We are currently in the process of negotiating with land owners to secure a site out of the way.” Greens MP Greg Barber said he

BY ERIN PEARSON VICTORIA’S first geothermal power plant is set to begin generating power south of Geelong within 12 months, according to Greenearth Energy. Chairman Simon Molesworth said the company would sign off on an agreement with Federal Government in the next fortnight to drill three kilometres underground for hot rocks to generate power at Gherang. Mr Molesworth was “confident” the drilling would prove underground heat was available to run the company’s proposed geothermal energy plant. Mr Molesworth said the drilling could begin within months. “Time has slipped to a certain extent but if everything goes to plan we hope to commence the drilling exercise this year,” he said. “We are looking at about three kilometres of depth and if all goes

at the helm of one of the region’s key business organisations. The chamber has a membership of around 700, of which 95 per cent are small-to-medium enterprises. Mr Rowe said looming state and federal elections would present him with opportunities to act on his shared passion with Mr Miller for “pushing Geelong along”. “We’ll be out in support of the Geelong business sector – I’ve been amazed at the number of world-class businesses here,” he

said. Mr Walsh said the chamber would use Geelong’s Armstrong Creek urban growth area as leverage to increasing membership “Development has been done piecemeal in the past but Armstrong Creek is an example of how it can be done properly,” he said “Part of our job in working closely with G21, the Committee for Geelong and the city will be to help develop the employment base.”

Mick sets the record MICK Robinson is living in the past, caught in a time warp that shows no sign of abating. But time is irrelevant to one of Geelong’s most-dedicated historical archivists who never appears in too much of a rush. Every birth, death and marriage registered in hospitals, morgues and churches never fails to catch Mick’s diligent eye for historical detail. “I took over doing it from 1954 on,” Mick states, “that’s every day, except Sundays.” He’s already indexed hundreds of thousands of records from microfilm into monthly books for Geelong Historical Society. The former Bellarine councillor was lured onto the former shire’s historical records committee back in 1983. When his council disbanded a decade later, he got really serious. Mick’s sometimes-astonishing finds have kept him obsessed with keeping local records. “I couldn’t believe it when only a couple weeks ago I was doing 1984 and, lo and behold, I came across my mum’s death,” Mick recounts. “I’ve come across a lot of family and friends’ records, too. Just in passing you see all the names of people you know, you stop and read them and it makes you think.” The records date back to 1840 when people first started disembarking ships in Geelong’s port. Sometimes Mick feels every one of those 170 years when rekindling moments of the past. “Is it time-consuming?” he ponders. “Well, I’ve still got four years to go to catch up to the present. “But I won’t be able to because I just haven’t got the time.” Mick is a little piece of history himself after serving 59 consecutive years in local football circles. His roles in the sport cover player, coach, umpire, club president, tribunal member and radio show panellist to even helping compile books on the history of local teams. Mick’s footy history began with North Geelong under-18s back in

ANDREW MATHIESON 1952 before he shifted to Barwon Heads/Ocean Grove in the days when the bridge between the towns united rather than divided the community. A move to Geelong West Cricket and Football Club ended in ignominy when a failed clearance to Leopold forced him to unexpectedly enter coaching ranks for Bell Park under-18s. Standing out of playing for two years, Leopold paid back a loyal Mick in kind. “That was an interesting experience,” he starts to laugh. “I went to play as a contract player and what I got was a potato crop put in for me. “Whatever it yielded, I got the money for playing.” The crop was full with 10 tonnes of spuds and they paid 30 pounds a tonne. “That was big money,” the 73-yearold continues, “far more than you would expect.” Injuries from a few hard hits forced Mick to switch to umpiring, which led to whistle blowing in the then-VFL. But when Newcomb started its own football club in 1975, Mick wanted to build it from the ground up – and for good reason. It was a home coming for the local lad. “Everybody says ‘Mick, you should go here or there’ but as far as I’m concerned Newcomb is the greatest place in the world.” However, Mick’s two years as president at Newcomb came to an unexpected end in a strange turn of events at Thomson when good mate and coach Terry Welch dragged him to the rival club one night in 1981. “I walked into their annual meeting, didn’t know a soul and at the end of the night I was president of their

I WRITE regarding the shame of what I refer to as our hidden river (Independent, June 25) While the shameful state of the Moorabool River has been exacerbated by years of drought, the main cause is poor decisions by politicians too lazy to make the correct but more difficult choices to ensure the river’s ongoing viability. As a local resident recently observed, if the Barwon River through Geelong was in the same condition as the more-hidden Moorabool the problem would have been fixed long ago. In 2006 our family decided that our 84-hectare property fronting the Moorabool River at Batesford should continue to be preserved as a sanctuary, so, in cooperation with Trust for Nature, covenants have been placed on the title to ensure our desired outcome. Further, in the belief that waterways belong to the public and with the cooperation of City of Greater Geelong, we have entered into a peppercorn lease arrangement with the City for a corridor of land along our river frontage so Moorabool River Reserve at Batesford can be extended and opened to the public. This once-pristine section of the river was truly beautiful. We are now ashamed to suggest that people visit the area. We urge interested people to add their voices to the mounting demands for action to restore the Moorabool River to its former glory. George Belcher Batesford

Trees for the north CITY of Greater Geelong’s plan to plant about 20,000 street trees over the next 10 years (Independent, June 11) is good news. The question is where these trees will be planted. It is acknowledged that trees are the lungs of the planet, filtering dust as well as chemicals. Research has shown that green belts can markedly reduce chemical pollution. Geelong’s council failed to buy Geelong Golf Club’s course, an established green belt. A mindset exists that after crossing Ballarat Road the northern suburbs of Geelong are not entitled to beautification. With manufacturing and chemical precincts, the northern suburbs urgently need protection from chemical pollution. The northern suburbs have the highest incidents of asthma, allergies, ADHD and autism in the state, perhaps in Australia, yet has the poorest public services despite claims to the contrary. Retaining the Geelong Golf Club site as green space would be a boon to the area. It could become a botanical garden of the north, conserving and encouraging local plant and fauna. The solution to cracking and broken paths in the northern suburbs is more often than not solved by the removal of trees. Suggestion of tree removal in suburbs such as Highton, Belmont, Newtown and Manifold Heights would bring an outcry. Hopefully some the trees go to beautify the northern suburbs. However, I suspect most will go to new developments. Council should be lobbied to seek funding to buy the golf club site to hold this treasure in perpetuity for Geelong residents. John RL Wilson Norlane

Books come first I AGREE with Andrew Hackett’s letter in last week’s Independent about the questionable nature of Geelong Regional Library Corporation’s survey. Like most people I know, I go to either Geelong City or Corio libraries to borrow books to read and it is my understanding this is the general reason why libraries exist. From the content of the survey, I appear obviously misinformed. I was going to suggest the libraries would get more borrowers if they were located more centrally with other facilities that people use on a daily basis. Their existing locations are a disincentive for people to visit because they are not conveniently located and people often need to make a special trip to access them.

However, in the survey form I pointed out it might be a good idea for the library to work on ensuring people pass through the libraries’ doors to borrow books because it is clear management is more concerned with computer clubs and the provision of information regarding council. Tilly Burlford Norlane

Plover plundered IN REFERENCE to a recent Independent story, southern Australia’s only exclusively beach nesting bird, the threatened hooded plover, breeds from August to March. Their simple, well-camouflaged nests are in sand above the high-tide line of our surf beaches. Leashed dogs exercised at low tide pose minimal threat to nesting birds. But foxes, feral cats, unleashed dogs and human ignorance are driving these beautiful creatures toward extinction. John Murray Queenscliff

Ramping up anger BELLARINE Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management has it wrong again. As a local, regular user of Point Richards boat ramp, I am frustrated by the actions of Bellarine Bayside. I own a 7.2-metre, 3000-kilogram boat. The current closure of the ramp has forced me to use either the rocky ramp at Steeles Rocks or to tow my boat all the way to Clifton Springs over hilly terrain. If the Point Richards ramp is only closed for one month, why can’t Bellarine Bayside offer residents access to the government-funded ramp in the caravan park for the same period of time? If I wish to launch my boat from the governmentfunded ramp I am asked to pay for access for 12 months. Why? Is it because somebody is trying to make more money out of residents, charging them for services that should already be provided? Or is it because they know the work to be completed at Point Richards ramp will not be completed inside one month, as advertised? Unfortunately, Bellarine Bayside has broken too many promises already. Just one example is the safe breakwater wall, which still can’t save the delayed dredger from washing up onto the existing boat ramp. Local means nothing to these people. Jeff Agius Portarlington

Buses up creek WHATEVER happened to the vision of Armstrong Creek as an innovative, sustainable development? The plans announced for a railway station near Rossack Drive reveal that vision has been comprehensively ditched. We are to get a station surrounded by a massive 2500-space car park – the biggest in Geelong and which was promoted as enhancing the development’s sustainability! The size of the car park makes it clear State Government has no intention of providing bus services for any significant number of Armstrong Creek residents to get to the station, let alone anywhere else, without driving their cars. It is also impossible to believe an attractive, walkable shopping centre near the station can be designed around the region’s largest car park. Geelong residents are clearly being had. Despite the sustainable rhetoric, the Government is aiding and abetting the roll-out of yet another car-dependent suburb. Instead of ensuring that more cars fill Geelong’s roads, the Government should be ensuring plans for Armstrong Creek and its services match the original promises.

Merc to park new album in city BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THIRSTY Merc has the happy knack of coming up with instantly recognisable tunes. A first listen to the band’s latest album, Mousetrap Heart, instils a warm feeling of familiarity with the groove-laden, funky sound developed for the project. “It’s nice to have a couple of albums behind us now,” frontman Rai Thistlethwayte told the Independent. “As a band you get better at certain things – practice makes perfect.” Refreshed and renewed, Thistlethwayte said the band felt “good” about its new sound. “We took our time with this one,” he explained. “It has a way more funky sound and I tended to write more on the piano rather than guitar. “The personnel is a little different as well. When you change one band member it changes the DNA of the whole thing.” The change is the addition of former The Strides guitarist Matt Smith who contributed significantly to the punchier, groovier sound of the new album. “We took a couple of months off in early ’09 because we’d done two albums back to back,” Thistlethwayte said. “You try not to rush things but there’s a lot of momentum and

ative spark wasn’t swamped by the mechanics of the recording process. “We want it to be a feel-good experience, there’s a lot of fun and a feeling of lightness in there, with danceable grooves and an up-tempo positivity – it’s like the sun breaking through clouds.” Thistlethwayte said the band was excited about touring again after a long break. “The tour is going to be so much fun, especially having three albums worth of material we can use,” he enthused. “Working out set lists is more of a challenge but it’s a better show as a result. Recording is getting the chairlift up the mountain, touring is skiing down it – it’s a huge escapist holiday.” The single is currently tearing up the Australian airplay charts, with fans and critics already placing it alongside the band’s previous instant hits including Emancipate Myself, In the Summertime, Someday Someday, 20 Good Reasons and The Hard Way. The multi-platinum selling, ARIA-and-APRA-nominated Sydney group has embarked on an 18-date national tour. Thirsty Merc plays at Geelong’s The Bended Elbow next Thursday.

The 2003 Holden Rodeo LX Dual Cab ute. gest they leave the safety-related work to professionals. Holden offers Rodeo in quite a variety of engines, including petrol and diesel, with the latter being by far the most popular. Turbo diesels in the Rodeo range we are examining here have sizes of 2.8 and 3.0 litres. Both are strong units with plenty of grunt and with proper maintenance will last for a long time. Five-speed manual gearboxes are by far the most common, but automatics, with four forward ratios are offered on some versions. auto is available in behind both petrol and turbo-diesel engines. The automatic transmission is generally installed in the more upmarket and sporty versions of the Rodeo, but we do sometimes find them in working Rodeos as well. Make sure the engines starts reasonably quickly, remembering that old style diesels may need to have the glow plugs running for a few seconds if the engine is completely cold. Watch for a smoking exhaust when the engine is under load, particularly when accelerated hard. Gearboxes should be reasonably light and smooth in their actions. Fast downchanges from third to second gear are usually the ones that suffer first. Feel for clutch slippage when you suddenly de-clutch then re-clutch without getting off the power. Rodeos that have had severe offroad use will probably have a lot of damage in underbody, door-sills and bumper-corners. Even those which have only had gentle use are likely to have scratches in the paint on the doors if they have been tripping around in the bush. Check for signs of salty sand as it can cause real rust troubles if the Rodeo has done some running in the edge of the surf.

BY EWAN KENNEDY espite carrying Holden badges the light commercial utility and cab-chassis Rodeo is actually an Isuzu. It was fully imported from Japan where it was built to the high-quality standards we have come to expect from that country’s products over the decades. Isuzu is one of the world’s leading truck manufacturers and that shows up in the competent, tough, reliable Rodeo. In 2008, a squabble between Isuzu and GM in the USA saw Holden losing the rights to use the Rodeo name. So now what used to be called Rodeo is being sold as the Holden Colorado, though it’s the same vehicle under the skin, at least at this stage. The Isuzu name is now being used on direct imports to Australia, being sold as the Isuzu D-Max. These changes of ownership are all recent so we won’t talk about the latest models in this used-car feature. Holden Rodeo is a tough ute that has served the Australian light commercial buyer well for decades. In recent years it has also become the ute of choice amongst buyers of sports utes – featuring strongly in this, one of the fastest growing of all new-car market segments in this country. Meaning there are plenty for sale on the used-car scene at any one time. Astute Aussies will take advantage of this by picking and choosing carefully from the many on offer. The Rodeo can be divided into two distinct models, those built prior to March 2003, and the ones with the big, bold looks that were launched at that time. The Rodeo is a strong vehicle that can stand up to plenty of hard work. Holden Rodeo is sold in a staggering array of models. Some with rearwheel drive, others with four-wheel drive; there are single cabs, extended cabs (Space Cab in Holden terminology), dual cabs (Holden Crew Cab) and even some cab-chassis to which custom bodies have been fitted. When checking out a used cabchassis pay special attention to the design and quality of workmanship. Though most are built by seasoned professionals and are of high standard, we still see the occasional one that appears to have been put together by an enthusiastic amateur. Experienced amateur mechanics can do quite a bit of their own servicing and repairs, but as always, we sug-

The Independent, Friday July 2, 2010.

ig red fire trucks have always held a fascination for young (and older) boys, and in the coming weeks Geelong is about to get the biggest fire truck the city has ever seen. The CFA will add a $1.5 million Bronto Rescue Ladder, the latest in fire suppression and rescue technology to the Geelong fleet of fire fighting vehicles. Geelong fire station’s acting officerin-charge Andrew Shearer said the city’s permanent firefighters were still completing a rigorous training program necessary to operate the Bronto before it is brought into service. “Intensive training as well as a high level of proficiency are very important to the operation of this appliance, particularly for rescue operations. “The theory and practical training can take between 40 and 80 hours depending on the firefighter’s grading,” Andrew said. He said the 11-metre long fire truck is expected to be brought into operational service in the next few weeks. He said this is one of three Bronto appliances about to enter service in Victoria. The other two are based at Dandenong and the Latrobe Valley. “This type of fire appliance will see Geelong and the surrounding area well into the next 20 years,” Andrew said. “It will replace the 30-metre aerial platform that has been in use by the Geelong fire brigade for the past 21 years. The massive ladder platform was built by Finnish company Bronto and is mounted on a Scania P380 diesel powered cab chassis vehicle. The Scania has an 11.7-litre turbocharged and intercooled diesel, sixcylinder engine with a rating of 279kW and a seven-speed auto transmission. Andrew said the 28-tonne vehicle is designed for high rise building rescues and fighting fires in the city’s increasing amount of tall buildings, as well as large factory fires. The major component is the hydraulic boom and cage that can reach 42 metres up into the sky. Andrew said the ladder can also project out 21 metres. “The ladder can reach well over any of the tallest buildings in the city at the moment. “To get the height into perspective, allow three metres per floor in an average building which means the ladder can extend up to 14-storeys high. “That’s about 138 feet,” Andrew said. At the top of the ladder, the rescue cage can hold 400kg or four people and is equipped with lighting able to illuminate the area below. “As well as people rescues, we can also put firefighters and equipment onto roofs if necessary from the cage. There is a facility to put a smaller ladder up to a building where during a rescue people can climb down into the cage.” The cage is fitted with a monitor that can deliver foam or 3500 litres of water per minute. A 4000-litre pumper appliance is used in conjunction with the Bronto. Andrew said the CFA imported the three Brontos and they are then fitted out with equipment storage lockers to CFA specifications by Queensland firm Varley. The Bronto ladder can be operated by a two-person crew who can stabilise the vehicle and erect the massive ladder in a matter of minutes. “The auto jack and levelling system is computer-controlled from the rear of the truck. The system has a built-in safety check and will not allow the ladder to

Rising: The cage about to swing out as the main boom rises into the sky. operate unless the vehicle is perfectly level.” The massive stabilisers are 5.7 metres wide however they can also be partly extended to three metres to allow the appliance to operate in narrow laneways. “Large plywood ground plates are utilised to spread the footplate pressure and prevent damage to ground coverings. These reduce each footplate pressure from 8.9 tonnes back to 2.8

tonnes.” When the jack and levelling stabilisers lift the 28-tonne truck about 800mm off the ground, the front and rear air-bag suspension system is locked up. Operation of the massive hydraulic, two-boom ladder is all done from ‘the pulpit’. “The operator takes control using a joy-stick arrangement and a series of computer screens monitor the ladder

as it is raised,” Andrew said. Detailed information such as wind speed, angle and height is displayed and an alarm will warn of extreme wind speed that can affect the booms and cage. “There is wind effect on the ladder at heights most times, but we can still operate it in winds up to 45km/h. “You need to be careful of a sudden rise in wind speed when the cage peeps over the top of a building.”

He believes that “whatever the customer wants – I assure them I can meet their requirements”. For more information, phone Tom’s Fencing on 0424 386 398.

TOMS FENCING Tom’s Fencing is a Geelong-owned company that prides itself on supporting the community. For more than a decade, owner Tom Greenwood has been pleasing customers throughout Geelong and the Surf Coast. With this experience, Tom is qualified to erect all types of fencing. He initially built cattle yards for six years and is a qualified metal fabricator. “My fences are the best quality – they are reinforced with concrete,” Tom says. “Only 10 per cent of fencers in Geelong concrete their posts, in combination with using kiln dried materials”.

feel much colder on some days due to icy winds and cooling caused by the widespread rain. Minimums averaged 5.9C compared to the average 6.2C, while maximums averaged 13.8C compared to 14.4C. June temperatures at Geelong Airport actually increased about .2C since 1992. If extrapolated to 2050, this would add another .4C increase. However, even this modest June rise has been used by a few rabid alarmists in the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology to warn us about “dangerous man-made climate change”, a theory dreamed up by government-employed academics, researchers and politicians but bearing very little resemblance to provable reality in terms of a clear link to carbon dioxide emissions.

ENT GOVERNM NOW S SUBSIDIE BLE! A IL AVA

THE GEELONG region has just completed a particularly wet June. An amazing range of rain fell across the region, from only 24mm at Lara to over 90mm at Leopold. Most of this great variation occurred in the 24hour period ending 9am on June 30 when between 10mm and 26mm fell from the Bureau of Meteorology’s forecast “isolated showers”. In fact, the rain was neither showery nor isolated but widespread and continuous! June recorded 21 days of rain. Six-monthly totals for Geelong resulted in an accumulated 233mm at Geelong Airport, which was 5mm above normal. However, most northern areas and the western side of Melbourne as well as the region’s Otways water catchment did not receive average falls. West Barwon Reservoir had only had 94mm compared to the average 125mm and most of the Otways received around 70 per cent of normal June rain. This led to catchment levels rising marginally to 30.3 per cent. June was also around half a degree colder than the average at Geelong Airport over the past 19 years. Although the average temperature was about the same as June last year, the wind-chill factor made it

Serving it up: Grace Sodomaco, Karlie Laney, Darcie Verstraten, Daniel Laney and Blake Haggerty at Geelong Badminton Centre. Picture John Conway49416 players would also be on hand to take new players through the basics. “We’ll have giveaways of court hire vouchers, racquets, shuttles, grips and restrings and free food and drinks,” Smith said. A Badminton Geelong survey had revealed almost 95 per cent of the organisation’s 350 members enjoyed the sport for its year-round accessibility, strong

social aspect of the game and the allowance it made for all skill levels. Smith said the survey found that players considered badminton as a great way to remain fit and healthy with an “extremely low” injury rate. The come-and-try day will run from 2pm to 5pm on July 25 at Geelong Badminton Centre, part of the City’s Leisuretime facility in Anakie Road, Bell Post Hill.

Coach bypass over Johnson

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG coach Mark Thompson approached AFL operations manager Adrian Anderson to plead Steve Johnson’s case against a striking charge on marked Saint Steve Baker. But Thompson admitted Johnson would miss nearly his entire three-match ban with a broken right hand that Baker had targeted regardless of a guilty plea. Thompson felt overlooking umpiring boss Jeff Gieschen in favour of conversing with the AFL’s second highest powerbroker would offer better protection to the club’s array of star players. Baker was accused of drawing Johnson into a series of off-the-ball scuffles during the Cats’ 24-point loss to St Kilda on Friday night. “I spoke to Adrian (on Monday) and I said that it was a bit hard that Stevie Baker was doing that and Steven Johnson had to accept it,” Thompson said. “But, in the end, Steven has broken the rules, too, and we just have

to live by that. Unfortunately, that’s what happened. “We were just a little unsure about how (the tribunal hearing) would go if we had contested it, so we decided to accept the penalty.” Baker, a former Geelong Falcon, had been charged with four separate charges carrying a 12-game suspension if he pleaded guilty. The Saints tagger accepted just two penalties totalling five games but fought one of the three striking offences and an another for unreasonable and unnecessary contact with an injured player. An unrepentant Thompson said Baker’s hefty suspension was a “good thing”. “I think the message they’re trying to send is that they don’t want Steve Baker’s actions to be repeated by any player in the AFL because they were quite severe and that would be a good thing,” he said. Thompson quashed conjecture this week that Johnson took an injured hand into the game, suggesting the mercurial Cat “picked it up fairly early”.

Johnson underwent surgery Sunday morning. The club expects him to miss a further two games. Thompson said the rest would be in Johnson’s favour. “He’s got sort of little problems everywhere,” he said. “His body will heal, we’ll get a real fitness hit out of him and hopefully he’ll finish the season strongly.” Thompson likened Cam Mooney’s strike on Jason Blake, which earned Mooney a twogame suspension, as indicative of Geelong’s performance. But he promised the Cats would bounce back when they hosted North Melbourne on Sunday. “We know where it went wrong – we went wrong everywhere,” Thompson said. “History tells us we do rebound well but you still have to go out and do it.” Thompson said Johnson and Mooney’s exit would have the Kangaroos “licking their lips” over the prospect of an upset victory.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG Badminton Centre will launch a $150,000 upgrade with a family-oriented comeand-try day this month. The upgrade includes a new playing surface, court lines and internal cladding, with the club carrying out the project in conjunction with City of Greater Geelong. Badminton Geelong president Greg Smith said the launch was aimed at raising awareness of the sport of badminton in the city and the well-equipped facilities available for players “We’re hoping to attract new and lapsed players as well as provide encouragement and support to current players and members,” Smith said. “The come-and-try day is aimed at families so they can discover the attractions of the sport during a leisurely and funfilled Sunday afternoon.” Mr Smith said the recently completed work meant the sixcourt Geelong Badminton Centre was among the best facilities for the sport in the state. He said members of the Australian representative badminton squad had been invited to conduct playing clinics and put on a demonstration match. Geelong also had a number of representatives in the Victorian junior development squad who will participate in the come-andtry day, Smith said. Leading local badminton

sport Dragons to fire up on Swans SATURDAY’S Geelong Football League round of games is highlighted by the Bell Park and South Barwon clash at Hamlyn Park. South Barwon was raging favourite to add to its impressive list of recent premierships in 2010 up until last week when it lost to Lara by 1 point. The defeat saw the Swans surrender their top spot on the ladder to Bell Park. The Swans will reclaim top spot if they can win this game but overcoming the Dragons will be no easy task as they are on a roll with nine victories on the trot. Bell Park really looks the goods this year, with a classy band of mid-fielders led by the Nick Batchelor, Ben Armstrong, Jackson and Tim Sheringham and Daniel Lowther. This group of players always impress but it’s the support they receive from so-called lesser lights like Tom Couch, James Fitzgerald and Rowan McSporron that is the key to the Dragons’ success this year. Despite South Barwon losing last week, it would be foolhardy to write the Swans off because it might

Local Footy FRANK MASON just be that a great side was caught out on a cold, wet, dirty day for footy. Any side that has the likes of Clinton Wells, Mick McFarlane, Sam Stavenuiter, Jarrod Westwood and Michael Barker running around can never be discounted because these blokes are all outstanding. It’s hard to pick a winner in what promises to be a classic game but Bell Park’s home ground advantage should just see it sneak home. Two other games of note are the Leopold and St Josephs match at Memorial Park and the clash between St Mary’s and Lara at West Kardinia. The make up of the top-five may well be decided by the results of these clashes.

Joeys in particular really has to win this one because its one game outside the five and Lara’s finals spot will be vulnerable if it can’t win. In fact, if Lara can overcome St Mary’s like it did South Barwon last week then it will become a genuine flag chance. Selections: COLAC v West Saints, GROVEDALE v St Albans, LEOPOLD v St Josephs, NEWTOWN v North Shore, ST MARY’S v Lara.

GDFL Geelong and District Football League’s premiership race was thrown wide open last week when the previously undefeated Werribee Centrals lowered its colours to Bannockburn. The Centurions are still on top of the ladder but other sides now know it can be beaten and this week third-placed North Geelong will have a crack at them on Osborne Park. For the Magpies this is more than a fight for third position on the ladder but a chance to make a statement that they really are premiership contenders and

not just pretenders. Only two weeks ago the Magpies beat Bannockburn and they will take heart from the fact Bannockburn could in turn beat Werribee. Werribee has had a spate of recent injuries that have taken their toll but all sides go through the same thing and this test of depth could be the making or breaking of the side. North Geelong is maturing by the week, with its willingness to commit to every contest a real plus for coach Frank Fopiani. The Magpies are a chance but it’s hard to see Werribee losing two in a row. Other selections: Geelong West v INVERLEIGH, Anakie v EAST GEELONG, Winchelsea v BELL POST HILL, BANNOCKBURN v Belmont Lions and THOMSON v Corio. All Bellarine Football League teams have a bye this weekend. With only six games remaining after the break before finals, the top five is Amateurs, Drysdale, Queenscliff, Torquay and Anglesea. It will take a few upset results for this to change.

Salmon, squid, snapper providing cold comfort for local anglers On the bite BRIAN LONG ANGLERS battled cold and wet conditions for some rewarding captures in the past week. Surf anglers continued to face heavy shore breaks and consequent sandy water, which is not ideal, but still managed fish when conditions cleared. Most captures were on lure, with the ability to move along the beaches to find clean water paying dividends for anglers such as Danny Clapinski and myself at Fairhaven and Eastern View. Hopefully this weekend conditions improve so we can all enjoy the fantastic salmon fishery along our coast. Salmon and trevally were caught in the Barwon River estuary, with two hours before high tide best. Bait anglers did well on pippies, prawn and bass yabby, while soft plastics anglers have found Turtleback worms and Critters best. Point Lonsdale pier produced salmon to 1.5kg on blue bait just on high tide. Anglers casting soft plastics half way along the pier also caught fish, most around 800g. Queenscliff’s cut was quiet, producing only small numbers of trevally, salmon and whiting. Soft plastics brought most of the success.

Out in the cold: From clockwise left are Danny Clapinski with a salmon from the surf, Steve Dmytrenko and his 55cm waterfront snapper and a rugged-up John Dellaca with his Bullen Merri rainbow trout.

Lonsdale Bight rewarded many anglers with bag-limit captures of squid. Bright-coloured jigs were a favourite, with the smaller size jigs best. Squid were also taken from off Duck Island, St Leonards and Kirks Point. St Leonards has had the best whiting action recently, with fresh squid and pippies ideal and the fish biting extremely well close to dark. Huge salmon shoals have been consistently showing up between Point Wilson Pier and Werribee. Fish over 2kg have been caught on trolled baitfish-profile lures, although casting soft plastics

in minnow patterns into surface action has been the best method. Dan Redmond had two outings on the snapper for the week. Fishing Wilson Spit he boated four fish over 3kg on silver whiting and pilchard. Similar results also came to Noel Morrison on the outer edge of the spoilgrounds off Hermsley where the fish took a variety of baits, the best being silver whiting. Daniel Osborne fished soft plastics along the Alcoa Pier for a mixed bag of fish including salmon, flathead and snapper on Turtleback worms and Red

Rockets. First light to mid-morning produced the best results. Soft plastics expert Steve Dmytrenko has caught his fair share of fish from Geelong’s waterfront in recent weeks. While bream and salmon have been available, his snapper catches have been a real winner, with fish to 55cm taking Steve’s Squidgy Wrigglers. Peter Holt put in a few hours casting soft plastics off Rippleside Jetty where small flathead and pinkies were common until something clearly larger took his lure on Monday morning. The culprit was a snapper too large to get up the pier

by himself, with Peter estimating the fish at over 5kg before it was lost when the leader parted while he tried to lead the fish to the shoreline. Craig Varker has spent some cold days fishing for snapper in the inner-harbour for fish to around 5kg. Damien Jensen also has been fishing off the moorings at Western Beach where snapper to 3kg have been landed on pilchard baits. Damien found that the fish were biting from just on dark to around 9pm. In freshwater, Lake Bullen Merri was the best option locally, with good numbers of rainbow trout to just over 2kg taken by a variety of methods. Land-based anglers found that Powerbait in Chunky Cheese or Rainbow Candy nuggets was the best choice. Trolling was equally successful, with most fish being taken while flat lining with gold-coloured Tassie Devils. Downrigging was most successful in five to eight metres of water. Last weekend in bitterly cold conditions Andrew Dellaca took his dad for a troll. They landed a pair of nice rainbows but had numerous hits from fish without staying connected before the cold forced them off the lake. Tuna continue to be taken from Port Fairy and Portland but the best reports in the past week were from Port McDonnell where a number of fish over 100kg were landed after epic battles. It must be noted that most fish are still running between 8kg and 20kg, giving most anglers a great opportunity to boat a fish or two.
