Hot stuff: Adam Ludlow strikes a pose as he vies for the title of Hottest Tradie. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 60850

Adam trades embarrassment for title shot BY ERIN PEARSON HAMLYN Heightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adam Ludlow was recently joking with girlfriend Olivia Sells about entering a competition to find Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hottest tradieâ&#x20AC;?. Now the demolition worker is vying with entrants from around Australia for the title and its prize of a Hilux ute after Olivia secretly entered him in the competition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;preschool photo and allâ&#x20AC;?.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally embarrassed,â&#x20AC;? Adam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mates having being giving me crap but, quietly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be in the running.â&#x20AC;? Olivia described her 19-year-old beau as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard working, down to Earthâ&#x20AC;? and in desperate need of a car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good things come to those who wait. Maybe its Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hottest Tradie 2011 spokesperson Lija Jarvis said more than 570 tradesmen had

entered the RSVP-run competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always see some great entries from Victoria and Tasmania and this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re particularly impressed,â&#x20AC;? Ms Jarvis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tradies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to get their hands dirty but they take care of themselves and, importantly, get involved in the world around them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy to lend a hand and help out their mates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very Australian and very hot.â&#x20AC;?

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A CARBON tax of $20 a tonne would cost key Geelong employers more than $232 million a year, according to a Federal Government report. The figures prompted the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chamber of commerce to warn Geelong would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;loserâ&#x20AC;? under the tax without safeguards for manufacturers. The National Greenhouse and Energy Report revealed annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main emitters as Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced plans to implement a carbon tax in 2012. The price has yet to be set but $20 a tonne has been proposed at the lower end of the scale. According to the report, Alcoa emitted 6,757,567 tonnes of CO2 across Australia in 2009/2010, which would incur a carbon tax bill of $135 million at $20 a tonne. Boral, parent company of Waurn Pondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blue Circle Southern Cement, would pay $46.5 million. Shell, with emissions of 1,442,496 tonnes, would pay $28.8 million. Incitec Pivot, with Geelong hosting one of four Victorian plants, would be taxed $19.7 million. Graincorp would pay just over $1 million and Ford $676,840. Geelong Chamber of Commerce president Jim Walsh said the Gillard

Government carbon tax backflip was disappointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The devil will be in the detail but Geelong does stand to be a loser if the detail doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain sufficient safeguards for local manufacturers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are very significant numbers and have the potential to render local operations globally uncompetitive in a low-tariff environment and being trade exposed, such a tax places us at a disadvantage that can jeopardise local activities.â&#x20AC;? Incitec Pivotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewart Murrihy said the company was waiting for carbon tax details. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because fertiliser is priced on import parity pricing, unless there are offsets in that area it will mean our factories will be competing with imports from the Middle East or Asia. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily good from a local employment point of view because of the extra taxes we would bear that our competitors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Alcoa head of climate strategy Tim McAuliffe said the industry would accept a carbon tax if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;details were rightâ&#x20AC;?. Otherwise the industry would be at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial international competitiveness disadvantageâ&#x20AC;? that would drive businesses offshore to countries with no emissions trading, he said.

Fundraiser ‘told to stop activities’ CONSUMER Affairs Victoria has issued a court injunction against a fundraising telemarketer who illegally operated in the Geelong region. The injunction prevents Anthony ‘Anton’ Ray Stevens from conducting unlicensed fundraising. CAV said Mr Stevens promoted children’s shows Circus Quirkus and World Festival of Magic, targeting Geelong region businesses. He was linked with two service clubs through a company called International Entertainment, CAV said on its website. CAV took court action against Mr Stevens late last year. He was also ordered to pay costs of $2500. In a statement, CAV said it took court action over allegations of “serious misconduct” against Mr Stevens. “Mr Stevens continued to conduct fundraising appeals from July 2009 despite being told to stop fundraising and to apply for a licence. “Mr Stevens only applied for a licence in June, 2010, but continued to fundraise until an interim injunction was granted in September. The Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria has subsequently refused his application to be registered as a fundraiser.”

Pokies cash grab ‘costs thief $750’ BY KIM WATERS A MAN who helped himself to “a handful” of cash from a hotel’s till was an “opportunistic” criminal, Geelong Magistrates Court heard this week. Brett Lamont pleaded guilty to attempted theft for his bid to steal money from North Geelong’s Sphinx Hotel in November. Leading Senior Constable Glenn Abbott said Lamont had been playing the hotel’s pokies early in the morning before grabbing “a handful of notes” from an unattended cashier’s desk. A staff member slapped Lamont on the back, told him to return the money and ordered him to leave, the court heard. Lamont’s lawyer, Shane Baulkin, said his client had been “coming to these courts for a long time”. Lamont was “waiting for change” to continue playing the pokies when he grabbed the cash. Mr Baulkin said the bungled theft left “nobody out of pocket”. Magistrate Stephen Myall convicted and fined Lamont $750.

Survey ‘reveals racist attitudes across area’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE GEELONG region may be less multi-culturally sensitive than it believes, according to a new survey. The national Challenging Racism survey found that support for “racial separatism” was higher in the Barwon South West region than anywhere else in Victoria. The region also had among the lowest levels of racism denial and cross-cultural interaction, the survey of 12,500 respondents said. “Barwon South West region residents reported slightly above average levels of opposition to cultural diversity, beliefs in assimilation, belief in a racial hierarchy and self-identified prejudice.

“There are above average levels of identification of out-groups and denial of Anglo-privilege. However, insecurity with cultural difference is at state average levels and denial of racism in Australia is among the lowest levels in the state. “Below average levels of antiIndigenous, anti-Jewish and antiMuslim sentiments mark these areas. Anti-Asian sentiments, however, are above average.” The report said the region experienced below-average levels of racism in workplaces, sport events, educational settings, during interactions with police and in shops and restaurants. “There was also below-average levels of experiences of everyday incivil-

ities, namely racist insults and disrespect.” The report said the region, which stretches from Geelong to the South Australia border, had below-average levels of residents born overseas and of people who speak a language other than English at home. Low levels of tertiary education and an above-average representation of economic battlers marked the region. The report suggested anti-racism initiatives for the region, including provision of information on racial equality and encouraging increased interaction. Geelong council multiculturalism portfolio holder Eddy Kontelj said the

region had work to do on fostering multiculturalism. Council was about to release its first multicultural action plan in the next few weeks, he said. “We’ve taken a collaborative approach including Victoria Police, (multicultural services provider) Diversitat and the interfaith network among others. It’s been a fantastic response to guide the city on how to better service diverse communities and understand them and their needs,” Cr Kontelj said. “Immigrants have benefited the region both economically and culturally over the years. The best example is the recent Pako Festa, which is going from strength to strength.”

in brief Death probe INVESTIGATIONS are continuing into the death of a 61-year-old man when his Nissan ute crashed into a Norlane home last Friday, according to police. A Victoria Police spokesperson said the Rockbank man was the sole occupant of the vehicle, which veered off Anakie Road into the brick-veneer home.

Park works YOU YANGS Regional Park will stay closed until at least next month as authorities remove asbestos pipes uncovered during flooding last month, according to Parks Victoria. A spokesperson said Parks Victoria was “working toward” re-opening sections of the park in stages from Easter depending on “approvals, certification and weather conditions”.

Regatta stays GEELONG has secured Victoria’s Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta for at least another five years, according to a councillor. Bruce Harwood said the organisers beat “fierce competition” to retain the regatta and its estimated $2 million annual economic windfall for the city.

Name given GIVE Where You Live is the new name for Geelong’s peak financial assistance body for welfare and charity organisations, according to president Jordan Mavros. The not-for-profit body unveiled the name on Monday night after disaffiliating from United Way over a new strategy that the Geelong branch considered too-focussed on capital cities.

Phone case A MOBILE phone company faces court for allegedly discriminating against a Geelong woman after she tried to return from parental leave, according to Australia’s Fair Work Ombudsman. The ombudsman’s office said Mo’s Mobiles parent company Tiger Telco and director Ibrahim Ramadan refused to let the woman return to managing the Corio store and offered alternative jobs an hour’s drive away in Melbourne.

Numbers up as Avalon airshow opens with 550 aircraft BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ALL THE numbers quoted at the launch of the 10th Avalon Airshow were big. The week-long event expected 180,000 visitors to see 600 exhibitors and 550 aircraft, pouring $120 million into the regional and state economies. The event also marks the 90th anniversary of the RAAF and centenary of the first passenger flight in Australia. State Manufacturing, Exports and Trade Minister Richard Dalla-Riva officially opened the event on Tuesday. Mr Dalla-Riva said the airshow showcased the best Australia had to offer just 20 kilometres from Geelong. “The partnership with City of Greater Geelong has underpinned the airshow’s success,” he said.

Don’t look now: Defence Minister Stephen Smith at the airshow launch. “As we have seen, aviation plays a crucial role in community support during disasters such as Queensland floods and the Christchurch earthquake.”

Federal Defence Minister Steve Smith said the event was now a “must-do” event on the aviation and aerospace calendar. Mr Smith used the airshow launch to announce the Federal Government would buy a fifth Boeing C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft. Delivery of the $200 million aircraft, part of a United States airforce mission to the airshow, was scheduled for later this year, he said. An F-22 Raptor, the most advanced fighter plane in the world and boasting stealth technology, was also a popular attraction at the airshow this week. The show ran industry-only trade sessions from Tuesday to Thursday, with the event open to the public from 2pm to 9.30pm this Friday and from 8am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday.

ELSWORTHY’S

BY KIM WATERS AN UNBREAKABLE contract for a pipeline from Melbourne has locked the Geelong region into paying desalinated water prices, according to State Government. Water Minister Peter Walsh said the $137.9 million pipeline was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacyâ&#x20AC;? of the previous Labor government. The pipeline means Geelong consumers will help Melbourne bear the costs of its desalination plant, which the Government this week revealed

would double water bills. Mr Walsh said Geelong had no way out of the pipeline even though it was still under construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We consulted the department about the status of the project shortly after coming into government. However, the contract for the project had already been awarded under the Brumby Government and construction has commenced,â&#x20AC;? Mr Walsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are unable to break the contracts signed by the previous government.â&#x20AC;? Mr Walsh said the final price for

Geelong consumers under the desalination project was yet to be set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The price that Geelong will pay for water from Melbourne will be decided through an open process with the Essential Services Commission.â&#x20AC;? Mr Walsh warned the Independent while still in opposition the desalination plant would leave Geelong consumers paying for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most expensive waterâ&#x20AC;? when cheaper alternatives were still available in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will have to be paid by Barwon Water customers whether the region

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Record crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flocks to Pako Festa BY ERIN PEARSON A RECORD crowd attended Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pako Festa to cement the event as Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest and best multicultural festival, according to an organiser. Diversitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luisa La Fornara said more than 100,000 patrons lined Geelong Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pakington Street for the celebration of cultural diversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our largest festival ever,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we had extra free activities and craft areas for kids and some great entertainment from Brisbane. I think that had a lot to do with the increase in numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every space was full all day and the new Congolese and Karen food stalls were a great success.â&#x20AC;? Ms La Fornara said 30-year celebrations would make next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival even bigger. Geelong Police Senior Sergeant Andrew Cornford described the crowd as â&#x20AC;&#x153;exceptionally well-behavedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great weather, the great mood around plus the way it was organised meant Pako Festa was a great day out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the licensed venues were organised and cooperative as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the whole day we estimated more than 100,000 people filtered through.â&#x20AC;? Pakington Street traders also praised the event. Barking Dog owner Grant Ryan estimated more than 4000 patrons passed through his hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pako Festa was great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crowds were magnificent and everyone was very well behaved.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for next year.â&#x20AC;?

uses the water or not,â&#x20AC;? he said in 2008. Premier Ted Baillieu announced this week that the desalination plant could cost the state more than $23 billion over the next 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To run the plant at full capacity in 2012/2013 would cost Victorians around $763 million,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is clear that the Brumby Labor Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desalination plant will cause increases in Victorian water bills, leaving Victorian families struggling from the legacy of Labor incompetence and mismanagement.â&#x20AC;?

... it’s what we all want..! with well-planned attacks. It’s becoming an epidemic.” Waurn Ponds manager Phil Gleeson said his station was averaging 20 drive-offs a month at an average cost of $60 each. The station lost $1270 in December and $1270 in January. “There are people out there who just don’t want to pay for fuel and it certainly seems to spike when the price of petrol goes up.” Geelong Police Sergeant Graeme Smith said the city’s service stations were reporting about 80 drive-offs a month this year. He urged motorists to “think twice” about stealing fuel.

BY ERIN PEARSON APCO has put its service station staff on alert amid an “epidemic” of motorists leaving without paying for fuel in Geelong, according to management. North Geelong station manager Tim Mahoney said the warning to staff followed initiatives including photo boards with images of alleged thieves and cash rewards for information. “We’ve been alerting staff that with the rising petrol price we might see more and more people taking petrol without paying,” Mr Mahoney said. “We have a very low tolerance for this type of thing and police will be contacted if drivers don’t return and pay by the end of the day.” Mr Mahoney had a special message for fuel thieves. “We have cameras and we will see you.” The Independent revealed concern over service station “drive-offs” last week after petrol prices reached a twoyear high of $1.45 a litre at some stations. Geelong police told the paper they believed a recent increase in theft of number plates was linked to the rising fuel prices and drive-offs. Police had found that cars involved in petrol thefts often carried stolen plates. Mr Mahoney said APCO staff were also reporting an increase in customers “pretending” to be unaware their debit card accounts were empty after filling up with fuel. “There are some genuine people who do drive-off and some are quite shocked by their mistake but there are hard-core people out there stealing petrol time and time again.” Mr Mahoney said his station lost $489.50 in fuel to drive-offs in November, with about $200 repaid. About $353.05 was lost in December. APCO director Peter Anderson, who has seven stores in the Geelong area, said the company’s Waurn Ponds station was a drive-off hot spot. “The bigger and busier the store the more incidents we seem to have,” he said. “People also hit at the busiest times

BY ERIN PEARSON A VANDALISM rampage has left a North Geelong car yard with a $16,000 damage bill, according to its owner. West Coast Motors’ Peter Burnett said he was left shattered after the attack on his uninsured stock of second-hand cars. Mr Burnett said the vandals had violently smashed their way through all but one of the 10 vehicles in his Cadman Terrace dealership. The attack wrote-off seven cars and left two needing repairs, he said. “To come in and see all the damage is upsetting. You just stand there and add up in your head the cost. “I’ve been here for 26 years and I’ve never experienced anything so bad. I’ve had minor damage from louts throwing a rock over a fence but this attack was vindictive. “I’m only small because I don’t have a lot of money. It’s hard to find a lot of decent cars for a low price, which is the market I cater for. “I still can’t believe they’ve just smashed everything.” Mr Burnett said the vandals had beaten the cars so badly they left window frames bent beyond repair. “They must have used a steel bar because the damage is so extensive,” he said. “They’ve come prepared and cut a hole in the six-foot-high back fence to gain access.” Mr Burnett said he would struggle to recoup his losses if police were unable to catch the culprits. “Every year up until this year I’ve had insurance but I decided this year it wasn’t worth the cost because the cars

Major factors that have contributed to restrictions being altered include favourable summer rain and our focus on integrated water management solutions.

Summer ends on rain record

Five key features of the plan include: Trigger nozzles on hoses A hand held hose must be fitted with a trigger nozzle and can be used to wash your car and water your gardens and lawns at any time.

Manual watering systems (turn on and off by hand) Can only be used to water gardens and lawns between 8pm and 10am. Automatic watering systems (set to turn on and off automatically) Can only be used to water gardens and lawns between 10pm and 10am.

Before filling a new pool or spa with a capacity of 2,000 litres or more, owners must have a Barwon Water approved Water Conservation Plan. The plan must show how the volume of water required to fill the pool or spa will be, or has been, offset by water saved around the home.

BY KIM WATERS A STAINED glass artist, a Victorian suffrage society president and an Australian Centenary Medal winner are among Geelong’s historic “unrecognised” women, according to city feminists. The trio’s stories will be told during an educational Herstory bus tour on Tuesday to celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. Event organiser Nancy Donkers said tour participants would visit sites of significance to hear about the Geelong women and others whose stories remain hidden and left out of the glossy tourist brochures. “There is Christian Waller, who designed a stained-glass window in Christ Church in 1942. She was one of the first Australian female stainedglass artists and a book illustrator,” Ms Donkers said. “Then there’s Queenscliff’s Henrietta Dugdale who became president of the first Women’s Suffrage Society in Australia in 1884. “We’ll also visit the Ford factory where women took over the work when many of the men enlisted during the Second World War and include the history of the Blue Triangle Community, formed by middle-class Geelong women in 1924 to prepare young women at 14 for their entry into the workforce.” Ms Donkers said the Herstory Bus Tour would depart Kitchener House at 5pm on Tuesday.

THE GEELONG region, in common with much of eastern Australia, has just recorded its wettest spring-summer six months since records began in 1871. Averaged across the urban area, the rain totalled 521mm, some 66mm higher than the previous best, which was 455mm in 1992/1993. It was Geelong’s second wettest summer since records began: 260 mm was recorded compared to 267 in 2004/2005. The average for summer is 112 mm. Heavy rain across the region to 9am on February 5 saw falls ranging from just 24mm at Grovedale to 120mm at Werribee and between 50mm and 70mm everywhere else in between, including on the Bellarine Peninsula. At Leopold 25mm fell in 30 minutes in a torrential downpour with hail, causing flash flooding and other damage.

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL Urban Geelong received between 59mm at Waurn Ponds and 124mm at Lara for February in the seventh consecutive month of above-average rain. Geelong Airport weather station at Mt Duneed registered 70.4mm. This time most of the Otways received just on or above average because most rain fell further north. As a result, Barwon Water was this week reporting a 78 per cent overall storage level with the prospect of a weakening La Nina next month. February temperatures were noticeably below average, by .7C. Daily maximums averaged 23C

compared to the mean of 24.9C and daily minimums averaged 14.2C compared to the mean of 13.7C. The hottest day was February 1 when the maximum reached 39.6C. It was also the only day of the month over 30C. The lowest maximum was 17.4C on February 28. As far as summer was concerned, this one was warmer than average for December and January but cooler in February. The cooler maximum temperatures in February took the Bureau of Meteorology by surprise because 24-hour forecast maximums for Geelong were often 2C to 5C higher than what eventuated. February had just one thunder day with widespread lightning on the fourth day of the month associated with severe storm conditions. Wind damage to trees, powerlines, houses and cars was also recorded on February 1 and 19.

4C terms omit ‘route options’ Kumnik said. State Government this week appointed the committee to review the route of 4C between Geelong’s bypass and Surf Coast Highway. The coalition promised the review after residents attacked the former Brumby Government over the route, saying it was too close to houses at Grovedale and Waurn Ponds. Ms Kumnik praised the new Government for appointing the panel but said residents were concerned the terms of reference failed to “specifically identify” alternatives. “Viable alternatives including Boundary Road, Whites Road and

Mt Duneed Road were not considered from the outset during a corrupt planning process (under the previous Government),” she said. “However, the committee’s terms of reference have not specifically identified the viable alternatives to the alignment chosen by the former state Labor Government.” Planning Minister Matthew Guy explained the advisory committee as “different to a planning panel”. “It will speak to stakeholders like community members, council and VicRoads and ask for submissions. The panel will advise on the route, whether Mount Duneed, Boundary Road or the existing route, and what is the best link.”

Geelong takes bat to deadly diseases BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG is leading the world in testing bats’ immune systems for keys to beating some of the world’s deadliest viruses, according to the city’s CSIRO animal health laboratory. Director Professor Martyn Jeggo said the laboratory presented its latest findings to 600 scientists from around the world last week. Working out how bats carry viruses like SARS and Ebola without showing symptoms could hold the key to preventing infections in humans, he said. “A lot of people have worked with bats but we’re taking it to the next level. We lead the world in bat research.” Prof Jeggo said the focus of the international research was working out what “drives” viruses among animals before they infect humans, he said. “If we can understand that process better hopefully we can reduce the risk of the host-jumping event.”

BY KIM WATERS A FAILURE to identify alternative routes in terms of reference for a review of Geelong’s 4C bypass link has alarmed residents, according to their spokesperson. South Grovedale Community Action Group’s Margarita Kumnik said the terms of reference left out potential alternatives such as Mount Duneed Road even though motorists were already “heavily” using it to reach Surf Coast Highway. Residents were also concerned the review’s advisory committee would lock them out of private hearings in Melbourne and refuse access to all submissions, Ms

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CROQUET has a genteel reputation – but it’s far from the truth, say the ladies at Eastern Park Croquet Club. “It’s a very competitive sport,” club secretary Kerri-Ann Organ declared. With the game often linked with bowls, the Eastern Park club was formed in the early 1900s for the amusement of the wives of the bowlers next door. It was only later that the men were allowed to play. These days, however, the sports are unconnected and the game has more in common with the tactics of chess, the use of angles in billiards and the stroke play of golf. The modern form of the game dates back at least to 1856, so the quaint clubrooms adjoining Eastern Park’s twin croquet courts present little surprise. Kerri-Ann said the competitiveness derived from the use of both defensive and offensive play. “The game is played in all weather and takes two and a half hours to complete, so it’s not a walk in the park. “It’s the only sport where men and women are equal, although players are on handicaps, similar to golf. “It’s a great sport for all ages from teens to 80’s. It’s also a good therapy sport because it improves stride, balance and concentration. “Croquet is an excellent form of low-endurance exercise.”

Competitive: Kerri-Ann Organ gets into the swing of croquet at Eastern Park. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 60863 The croquet season runs from August to May, with a series of social games and tournaments on the schedule. Geelong has a representative on the Victorian team, Stephen Foster from the Belmont club, while Eastern Park has two reigning regional tournament champions. Eastern Park is a member of Geelong Croquet Association, along with clubs at Belmont, Drysdale and Queenscliff. A social Thursday afternoon game rotates weekly between the clubs, with Eastern Park also hosting regular Wednesday and Saturday social games at 1pm. “The club is open to all comers and there’s a minimal outlay to get started,” Kerri-Ann said. “All that’s needed is a pair ofrunners or flat-soled shoes – the

club has mallets for beginners. “It looks gentle and easy but, be warned, the game is addictive.” With just 10 members, Eastern Park Croquet Club is on a membership drive. “Most of Geelong has probably driven right past our courts in Garden Street, just down from Geelong High School, without even realising it,” Kerri-Ann pointed out. She asked anyone interested in trying croquet to phone Kay Raymer on 5275 0423. • Join the Club is a new weekly feature series reflecting the motto of the Independent’s Victorian family-owned parent company, Star News Group: Connecting people with communities.

Stick to footpaths if not riding so we can all enjoy this great facility for its intended use.

His random act of kindness not only eased the cold, it warmed my heart. Chivalry Is Alive, Barwon Heads

letters Restricting risk I HAVE great respect for the reference books in our local libraries. I understand why their use is restricted. ER Hatton (Letters, February 25) surely understands there is a reason why you can’t let your core reference material leave the premises. While most borrowers would respect the items and be sure they were returned, there are a few, a very few, who have no intention of returning borrowed reference books. It’s all right for a miscreant borrower to pay for the mislaid or stolen resource but chances are it might have been the last copy available anywhere. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. It’s nice to know that when you use a reference book it might be used by someone else in 40, 50 or a 100 years’ time. I applaud the library’s policy. AJ Risk Geelong West

For the birds AS AN amateur ornithologist, albeit one who has studied birds in every state in Australia and the Pacific islands, last week I had what, to me, was an exciting sight: five Cape Barren geese flying low in tight formation over the intersection of Coppards

Road and Bellarine Highway. It was only the second time I had seen the species on the mainland and, in case someone asks whether I would know one, yes, I have relatives farming on Cape Barren and know the birds well. Have other birdies seen them in the Geelong area? If you want to discuss it further, phone 5248 7414 and ask for Rod. Rod Pratt Newcomb

Turning Green I HAVE been a critic of the Greens’ policies of depopulation, deindustrialisation and anthropogenic global warming but recent events have encouraged me to retract this animadversion. Landslides, earthquakes and flooding remind me we are at the mercy of nature. Atomic testing has contributed to the frequency and intensity of tremors. Overpopulation is a major threat. High population densities, building on unstable land and inadequate contingency plans for natural disasters exacerbate the risks. We have technology to grow food crops in deserts but excessive waste, not food shortages, is the real problem. We’re encouraged to work harder and longer but does this really promote better quality of life?

World governments struggle to provide adequate infrastructure. Land shortages create border disputes, genocide, ethnic cleansing. Corrupt governments have enraged citizens. High prices for food, energy, transport and housing have created instability worldwide. Globalisation has intensified religious wars because we are conditioned to intolerance for other faiths. Stock markets control everything. We all want our patch of dirt to live on, not a multi-storey complex with no garden. We don’t drive cars at maximum speed, we drive to survive. This analogy must be applied to economic development to ensure balance and to provide future generations with a habitable planet. We have depleted our oil reserves within 100 years because of our excesses. Natural gas, drinking water and breathable air are next. The imbalance between rich and poor must be addressed. It’s time to share the wealth. Ralph Huisman Belmont

Tax right step ALAN Barron is at it again, peddling fallacious and mythical statements in an attempt to mislead anybody who cared to read his letter in last week’s Independent.

Alan asked us to believe him when he stated that there was “new evidence casting serious doubts” about global warming. Yet he did not quote any legitimate, peer-reviewed science to support his statement. He then went on to say Earth is cooling, which is pure fantasy because all global indicators are heading in the other direction. Be it ocean surface temperatures, sea ice, ocean heat content, glaciers, snow cover, humidity, land temperatures et cetera, all are indicating a warming climate. The greenhouse effect and resultant global warming is not something you either believe in or don’t believe in. This is akin to asking whether you believe in cancer. It is a provable scientific reality that more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere equals higher air and sea temperatures. Humans have almost doubled the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in the past 80 years. If we continue to burn coal and oil as we are now, as Alan proposes, then our grandkids will have an atmosphere with triple the amount of CO2. I feel heartened that Labor is implementing a carbon tax as a first step to addressing the serious threat of climate change. This will transform our economy, provide massive opportunities and put us on a path to living within our means. Mark Ruseler Lara

Dear John, please come back for Julia SURELY the Peter Principle must apply to Julia Gillard, that is, promotion beyond capabilities. Her position as Prime Minister is courtesy only of the independents and Greens, who she glibly sweet-talked into supporting Labor. Now we find she lied to the Australian people regarding the carbon tax. She could, I believe, prove her worth by taking the whole thing to an election. Let the people speak, not the sycophants. John Howard was not afraid to do this with the GST â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what a great example for her! Paula Simpson, Grovedale POLITICS has reached a new low in Australia where truth

A tax for the future JULIA Gillard, the Greens and the independents are to be congratulated for announcing a price on carbon. Labor copped out on the resources tax because it was scared off by a shrill advertising campaign and Tony Abbotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsessive anti-everything stance. The backdown, as we see from the obscene super profits of the big mining companies, has cost the taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; money that could have been used to build infrastructure. Let us hope this time Labor will have the courage to hold the line against Tony â&#x20AC;&#x153;big new taxâ&#x20AC;? Abbot, shameless shock jocks, scare mongering fossil fuel burners and misguided climate change deniers. If a price on carbon wins through what will be a very tough political process, we can look forward to a cleaner and more-prosperous future as we can see right now in Germany where the alternative energy sector employs 200,000 people. Energy industry experts concede that any extra on electricity bills will be minimal and 90 per cent of citizens will be compensated. It is important that any compensation be paid to citizens and not to fossil

part to tackle the gravest of threats to mankind and our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Yes, it will pull at the heartstrings and woe unto those who dare question it. The fact the planet has cooled over the past decade and that China, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest polluter, plans to do nothing while cynically watching the west destroy its economy matters little. Julia Gillard, the Greens and the fruitcake independents now have their cause celebre, so the rest of us must become true believers prepared to pay $300 more a year for power and six cents a litre extra for fuel. Long live the Green revolution - it has well and truly moved on from tree hugging. Brian Handley Geelong

Twelve into six IT IS very hard to get a word in edgeways to City of Greater Geelong councillors during question time once a fortnight. If they are reduced to six councillors in a restructure they will have no time to listen to anybody. Have we seen that before ? Council would become a puppet administration controlled by Melbourne.

encompassed stints as an electrician, a music teacher and even a whitegoods salesman. But the jokes with mates soon turned to a spot on stage and a day at a recording studio. Wilson said he was now watching his daughter follow in his footsteps. “She’s doing a female version of what I do,” he chuckled. “The blokey gene that was supposed to go to my son went to my daughter.” Wilson described his songs as matching the dry, unforgiving Kalgoorlie landscape.

BY ERIN PEARSON HELPING write his biography was like confession for iconic Aussie comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson. “You’ve got to have had a turbulent life to write a biography or no one will bloody read it,” he laughed. “You have to fill the book with honest answers. It’s how I remember it and it’s not all pretty.” Wilson’s book, DILLIGAF: The life and rhymes of Kevin Bloody Wilson, was released in November. He said that, like the inspiration for his career as a comedian, his mates were responsible for him to put pen to paper. “When I was writing songs as a young bloke they were only meant to be for my mates, so I still pinch myself and think ‘F..., how did this happen? “My mates nudged me into the studio and now this, so I owe them a lot.” The legend of Kevin Bloody Wilson was born in the Western Australia mining town of Kalgoorlie back the 1970s. It all started innocently enough: just a guy with too much time on his hands changing the words to other people’s songs and writing a few of his own just for fun. His previous careers had

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Gallery has earned the only Victorian hosting rights to an exhibition of one of Australia’s most renowned artists, according to director Geoffrey Edwards. A collection of Sidney Nolan’s famous works will be on display at the gallery until the start of May. Edwards said the 80 piece exhibition was a rare opportunity for the region’s art lovers to experience Nolan’s original artworks. “Nolan is quite well-known as a household name,” Edwards and said. “Everyone knows the Kellys, Bourke and Wills and Dessert and Drought pieces but few would know that the Gallipoli series was painted over a 20-year period. “They reveal Nolan’s longtime interest in the Gallipoli campaign and the icon role it’s taken on in

Australian history. “Even his gift of 250-odd works to the Australian War Memorial in the late ’90s was only a portion of all his Gallipoli paintings.” Edwards said the paintings displayed Nolan’s affinity with Gallipoli. “Some portray a wonderful range of landscapes and others show how he came rather curiously close to his subject by staying with family near the Gallipoli peninsula.” Edwards said Nolan’s “semiabstract” style often “crept up to surprise you”. “One work is almost childlike in its simplicity with its wonderful colour but there’s a figure swimming with shadows around it. When you read the description you realise it’s the shrapnel falling in the water around him, that the

man had swum despite the risk. “You’re drawn in by the simplicity and beauty of the artwork then you realise it’s a pretty horrific moment.” Nolan was born in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton in 1917 as the eldest of four children. He left school aged 14 before attending night classes at National Gallery of Victorian Art School from 1934 and later lived at Ocean Grove during the late 1930s. Nolan experimented with different methods of painting throughout his life before a Sidney Nolan Trust was established in 1985 to support upcoming artists. Three years later he was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia. Nolan died in 1992. The exhibition, Sidney Nolan – the Gallipoli Series, will be at the gallery until May 1.

atrons will enjoy a night of hilarity and fun with leading names in Australian comedy at Geelong’s Carlton Hotel this month. Owner Rod Van der Chys says his team will turn an upstairs function room into an “intimate comedy night setting” for the event. Rod says three of the four comedians are “warming up” for the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Carlton staff member Gerald O’Callaghan will also take to the stage. “We’ve done a few comedy nights in the past and they’ve always been really successful,” Rod says. “We think if you do them twice a year rather than once a week or once a month you get to keep the acts fresh and have good quality names.” Rod encourages anyone interested to secure a ticket early, with past events attracting a “full house”. “We have a seating plan set up so people can come in, buy tickets and dictate where they’re sitting. We only have room for about 100 people, so it will be an intimate setting.” Rod says the group of “wellknown” comedians includes Lawrence Mooney, Justin Jamieson and Tom Seigert. “Our team member, Gerard, who is going to be a support act for

Caddies the good sports for women addies Golf and Sport for Women is the brainchild of former PGA professional Martin Stolz and wife Rebekah. The couple opened the business in Geelong West’s Pakington Strand after identifying demand for a store specialising in women’s sports, particularly golf and tennis. Rebekah, a keen social golfer, says Caddies is different to “the usual large chain stores”. “Unlike previous shops for women, which predominately focussed on clothing, Caddies is a full golf shop catering for everything in women’s golf including clubs

and coaching.” Rebekah says the feedback from customers has been “hugely encouraging”. “We’ve tried hard to create a store with a completely new feel and atmosphere to golf and tennis and which is quite unashamedly for girls. Women who play sport should visit to judge for themselves.” Caddies features established brands like Nike, Callaway, Wilson, Yes, Odyssey, Tour Edge and Nicklaus. The range has been chosen to provide choice for players of all standards. Caddies is equipped with a coaching and

club-fitting facility where Martin uses latest technology to provide the highest level of technical service. “Whether it’s a golf lesson, club-fitting for new clubs or a full bag analysis of your current set, Caddies takes women’s golf seriously,” Rebekah says. “Martin’s also happy to coach after hours for women who are in the workforce or just too busy during the day to get to a golf course.” Caddies also stocks Victoria’s largest range of golf clothing as well as more than 35 styles of women’s golfing footwear.

This is the time that can help you be more productive in achieving the things you want to achieve, whether it be a reward for sticking to your exercise program or using that time to exercise and feel great

Simple secrets WHY ARE WE for weight loss THE BEST? I

LOSING WEIGHT WITH MANDY FISHER We love eating, so we should savour the moment. We eat less and it’s much better for our digestion as well when we take our time. Throwing out pantry junk food is another good idea. Is your pantry full of junk food? We have been conned into thinking that if it’s not in a pack, it’s not a snack. Advertising tells us to have these foods available for family or visitors to be a good host. Trouble is, it doesn’t stay around long enough to be eaten by the visitors. Get rid of it and fill up your fruit bowl instead.

NORMAL FOOD FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Debbie Brunt

Mandy Fisher 505086-TB01-11

n her new book, Biggest Loser personal trainer Michelle Bridges tells us the secret to weight loss. According to Michelle, it is very simple: east less. How can we go about doing this? There are several strategies we can employ without even changing a lot of the food choices we make. Eat off a small plate - what size plate do you eat off? Does it resemble the 22cm to 24cm diameter plates we used 30 years ago or is it the current plate size of 28cm, which is now the norm? Using the smaller plate means you eat 20 to 22 per cent less. This adds up to a lot of energy over a week and you will feel just as satisfied. What about breakfast? Do you eat breakfast or are you rushing out the door? Not only should we consume a good breakfast we should sit at the table while we’re eating it. Never would we consider leaving home with dirty teeth and ungroomed hair - and eating breakfast is far more important. The rate at which we eat is also important.

Specialising in pavement repairs, maintenance, rejuvenation and resurfacing, CRACKMASTERS use Australian made products proven for Australian conditions

Master surface repairs business that began as a small, local crack repair and sealing service has grown into a national franchise called Crackmasters. Crackmasters now covers all types of surface maintenance, including roads, footpaths, driveways, sporting courts and even timber decking. Director Jason Cobb says the company focusses on preventing serious slip and trip situations. “That small crack can turn into a major headache if left untreated,” Jason explains. “Plus, it’s much more cost-effective to deal with it sooner rather than later.” Crackmasters has just added a mobile pressure washing unit to its range of services. “People think their driveways are clean but they are surprised at how refreshed and revived their concrete can look after we have given it a pressure wash. “We offer a no fee guarantee – if it isn’t cleaner,

customers don’t pay a cent,” he said. Jason says all Crackmasters products are waterbased and environmentally sensitive. Crackmasters uses the latest technology in asphalt and concrete rejuvenation, resurfacing and bitumen crack sealing. Clients include City of Greater Geelong, Barwon Water, Barwon Health, government departments, retirement homes, schools and private domestic customers. Crackmasters will expand to service the Surf Coast by the end of the year. Customers can see for themselves the difference Crackmasters can make at the business’s showroom in Apparel Close, Breakwater.

Muscle car is classic ’70s Muscle car: Adam ‘Spud’ Pohl did the full resto on an $1100 Monaro HQ. Pictures: Tommy Ritchie 61010

Wane’s Wheels GREG WANE

hen Holden unveiled the HQ series in July 1971 it was hailed as the most definitive Australian car since the FX in 1948. Holden’s design and engineering teams created the car from the ground up using the best in American and European trends of the early 1970s. The 70s era was an exciting period in fashion and industrial design when vibrant colours and outrageous designs pushed aside the drab and ordinary of the previous three or four decades. The HG Monaro was no exception with its radical colour choices and boosted engine size. Geelong’s Adam Pohl wasn’t born until 1976, so he pretty much missed the 1970s, but admits he has always favoured the Holden. “I have always been a Holden man and I had an SS four door and I’ve had HQ up to HZ,” Adam declared. His red HQ Monaro LS 2-door has been fully restored after Adam bought ii as a rolling shell 12 years ago.” The ‘LS’ is stands for luxury sport, according to Adam. – to page 62

Spud said the car is capable of 500 to 600hp but he has never had it on a dymo to test it. The Monaro has a B&M Megashifter on the floor, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an aftermarket shifter. Spud said he likes to enjoy his 40-year-old car and likes nothing better than when he and his wife take the car for a run down the coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets lots of looks, but I never park and leave it. I am always next to it. There are too many getting knocked off these days and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never seen again. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst problem.â&#x20AC;? The Monaro is a highly sought-after car, particularly the HQ despite nearly 9000 being built by GMH between 1971 and 1974. Spudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HQ will be on display tomorrow with hundreds of other Holden makes and models at Geelong Holden Day at the showgrounds from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

eelong’s leading independent motorcycle workshop offers customers a top quality, professional advantage. Motorcycle Service Centre is a VACC-accredited workshop providing manufacturer-approved warranty and log-book servicing for all makes of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and PWCs from Japan, Europe and USA. The centre’s Rob Jenner says the team is always keen to provide great service and expert solutions. A motorcycle chassis dynamometer has just been installed to assist with performance tuning and fault diagnostics. “In the past we’ve always done a lot of road testing for tuning and fault finding,” Rob says. “We’ll still be doing that but to a much lesser degree. The dyno allows us to run bikes at high speed under load and to literally stand beside them watching and listening.” PWC users can rely on the expert, personalised service of powerski enthusiast Ryan who specialises in all types of two and four-stroke watercraft. After entering both bikes and riders in state and national level road racing championships, Rob can offer racers and track-day riders expert help in all facets of sport and track bike service, set up and performance enhancement. Dirt bikes are catered for, with riders able to take advantage of the centre’s many years of experience in repair and service. Motorcycle Service Centre covers all types of maintenance and repairs including engine and transmission reconditioning, restorative services, general repairs and parts, suspension overhauls, track-day set ups and roadworthiness certificates. The centre is an approved crash repairer, working with Shannons, Swann, QBE, RACV and InsureMyRide among others. Business hours are 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday at 336 Portarlington Road, Moolap. More information is available by phoning 5248 8813 or visiting www.motorcycleservicecentre.com.

ruckcar Rentals is an economical option when it’s time to get on the move. Whether it’s moving house or interstate freight, Truckcar Rentals has a vehicle fleet to accommodate even the biggest job. Customers can visit Truckcar Rentals at Corio or Colac to choose from a comprehensive range of passenger vehicles, light commercial vans, trucks or utes. Truckcar Rentals also stocks buses with seating for 12 to 22, a great idea for group outings with a designated driver. Owner Graeme Byrant says it also offers a series of small two-tonne vans, trucks and prime movers. “No job is too great or too small,” he says. “My staff are more than happy to assist customers when it comes to selecting the right vehicle for their job. “We also offer all our vehicles on long or shortterm leases.” Truckcar Rentals maintains all the fleet itself, giving client’s added peace of mind about reliability and safety. Locally owned and operated, Truckcar Rentals is a cheaper option than hiring a removalist. Truckcar Rentals is located at 215 Station Street, Corio, phone 5275 8288, Princes Highway, Colac West, phone 5231 1966 and 6 Walsh Road, Warrnambool, phone 5561 0003.

TORQUAY’S Finn Barry has won the opening round of a Victorian open surfing series at Gunnamatta. Barry, originally from Apollo Bay, won the first of the three rounds in small, clean waves at the open-ocean beach. Barry was in fourth place for most for most of the final until the final few minutes when he scored 5.7 out of a possible 10 to take the lead. “I didn’t know I was sitting in fourth until the last three minutes. When I got that wave I was just praying I didn’t fall off,” Barry said. Jan Juc’s Tom Allan finished third.

son officer Russell Butler said Friday night’s grand final would provide hot competition thanks to the breadth of talent in the two teams. “Surf Coast especially put on a good performance and surprised a lot of people last week but North Geelong was unstoppable,” he said. “They’ll go straight through to the grand final against Geelong in a match I predict will go into overtime.

Following is his first article: Mal Humphries has been giving me golf lessons through Peter Toynes Clubhouse Golf, Geelong Golf Academy. Mal has taught me stretching, swing drills and practice routines. We have also been working on my swing, chipping and putting. I am loving the academy. It is such an excellent opportunity for me to improve my game. My handicap was 35 and now it’s 30. I really appreciate the opportunity to be part of the Geelong Golf Academy. Mal is a fantastic teacher and I am looking forward to a great year of learning with Mal. Josh Groom

Geelong Golf Academy King for a day: Mick Allardyce with a kingfish from Green Cape

Personal best: Rob Kosir with a 5.8kg snapper from Corio Bay. Salmon were again taken from the beaches. Fairhaven was best, with lures continuing to account for most of the action. The Barwon River began clearing, with bibbed minnow lures bringing the best results on redfin in

areas such as Buckley Falls and Pollocksford Bridge. Lake Purrumbete produced redfin on ice jigs and bobbers, with the largest congregation of fish in around 12 to 15 metres of water. Trout were also landed with mudeyes fished under floats. Bluefin tuna showed up off Portland in 400 metres of water all the way to the shelf. Most fish averaged around 20kg. Port MacDonnell also had tuna of similar size but they were taken in just 140m. Further afield, Green Cape produced the goods for Mick Allardyce who found kingfish to 10kg consistently showing up for multiple hook-ups. Bonito and sharks were also present. This weekend’s afternoon high tides should be ideal in Stingaree Bay for snapper on either bait or soft plastics. Land-based anglers should consider making the walk into Point Lillias for a variety of fish, although snapper and whiting are the most likely target.

SETTLED weather led to a dramatic improvement in fishing across the region over the past week. Bay anglers still had to contend with large numbers of small snapper but patient types found good numbers of fish 30cm and 40cm. The better fish were available to land-based anglers at St Helens and North Shore rocks in the evening, with squid the best bait to withstand the marauding under-size pinkies. Paul Dennis cast soft plastics between Cunningham and Fishermans piers to land snapper to 38cms and flathead reaching 58cm. Neil Wheeler used plastics from the Point Lillias rocks to catch snapper, flathead, pike and two salmon over 1kg each, with all the action was on the run-up tide using Gulp Turtleback worms in the Camo colour. Rob Kosir’s screams of joy were reported to have drowned out the powerboats at Eastern Beach when he landed a 5.8kg snapper from the inner-harbour on Saturday. The fish was his biggest capture so far from the boat he has owned for the past five years. Brendan Sheedy and I hammered the outer-harbour spoil grounds, finishing with a nice bag of quality flathead and snapper on hard-bodied and soft plastic lures. Danny Clapinski and Rick Maes fished nearby with similar results on snapper and flathead to 50cm. Neil Robertson trolled the south side of Alcoa Pier for a dozen salmon around 900g. Neil lost bigger fish when they swam into the pier pylons. Darren Holt caught his bag limit of squid inshore of the Hermsley spoil grounds using size 2.0 Clicks jigs. Peter Jeffries nailed his bag limit of whiting twice off Grassy Point while fishing the high tides running off with pippies and berley. Shaun Faull found a variety of fish off Edwards Point and Duck island. Whiting and garfish were the majority but a big flathead weighing 3kg was the highlight of the trip. Swan Bay Jetty fished well for garfish. Craig Warfe, Mal Kirkwood and Andy Schmidt took a run offshore from Apollo Bay, travelling over 100km for a fantastic catch including snapper, flathead, whiting and trevally. Kingfish continued frustrating anglers fishing off Barwon Heads and Collendina, with the schools often thick but the fish reluctant to bite.

Cats’ finals warm-up GEELONG Cricket Club will complete the perfect finals warm up tomorrow when it resumes day two of its match against Melbourne with first innings points already in the bank. Melbourne batted first last week but its top order promptly failed thanks to a fantastic opening spell by Marc Carson with the support of Trent Walerys and Cameron Alford. From there Jeremy Hart continued his stellar form with a season best haul of 6/15 from 13 overs. The leg spinner has 14 wickets from the past three innings. When Melbourne was all out for just 57 the Cats would have been confident but a few butterflies spread through the camp and they fell to 3/28. From there, though, veteran Luke Muller and Hayden Butterworth steadied the ship with a brace of 30s and. Justin Foss also hit 30 before Liam Buchanan declared to try snaring a couple of late wickets. Melbourne finished 10 overs with a

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE minimum of fuss but still faces a huge uphill battle to rescue any points from this game. Geelong will enjoy the absence of pressure as it tunes up for finals next week. In Geelong Cricket Association’s top division, most games went to plan, so all eyes turn to the matches involving sixth placed Geelong West and seventh placed St Josephs. West bowled first against top side Grovedale and battled all day on a good deck. Wickets were few and far between for the Rams as the Tigers’ experienced top order went to work.

Nick Petersen top scored with 87, Stuart Pearce hit a half-century of his own, while Rodney Kiddle and Michael Kelson chipped in with scores in the 30s to help their team to 6/267. Sam Loftus and Sam Talarico were the only bowlers to look dangerous, with two wickets each. Over at Hirst Reserve Manifold Heights batted first and struggled all day for its 164, Charlie Owen top-scoring with 49. For Joeys, Sam Farnsworth stood up with four economical wickets, while Troy Nolan and Pat Lowery had two each. St Josephs resumes tomorrow with its destiny in its own hands. If Joeys wins it will most likely go into the finals because Geelong West is unlikely to chase down Grovedale’s total. In division two, Waurn Ponds has thrown the finals race wide open after scoring a mammoth 7/300 against Highton. Skene brothers Shane and Daniel,

along with Mehul Naik and Matt Kennedy, did their bit on a crucial afternoon for the Eagles. That result wouldn’t have bothered St Albans Breakwater too much because it appears to have secured the upper hand against Guild St Mary’s. However, Marshall and Alexander Thomson both look vulnerable and could easily fall out of the top six if they fail to battle their way out of their respective matches. Even Highton could still miss out. The division three top six is slightly more settled, but Corio could still throw a spanner in the works if beats Modewarre tomorrow. Corio has the benefit of runs on the board thanks to its defendable 9/176 last week. Meredith has wrapped up their finals spot with first-innings points on day one and could still yet take outright points against Bell Park. Meanwhile, Teesdale sits back with the bye to watch it unfold around them.
