Our ‘beautiful week’ ends in call for compo BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG traders are talking to lawyers over claims for compensation from lost trade during last week’s UCI Road World Cycling Championships, according to their spokesperson. But Geelong Mayor John Mitchell has dismissed concerns over any negative impacts on the city, saying the hugely successful major event was the culmination of nearly 10 years of planning. Cr Mitchell met briefly with traders’ group spokesperson Greg Lake on Tuesday morning to hear their concerns. Mr Lake said some of 30 affected businesses could consider further action if City Hall failed to reach an agreement with traders. Some Geelong retailers reported a downturn in trade of 50 per cent but others lost up to 90 per cent, he said. “A lot of retailers I have spoken to have already spoken to their lawyers,” Mr Lake said. “The advice you’ll get from a lawyer is until they get you in a court you never know the outcome. “We’ll just wait a week and see whether council is smart enough to at least sit down and have a discussion before we start making threats of legal action.” Mr Lake spoke to traders last Friday before sending a letter about compensation to council and State Government. “Mum-and-dad” businesses told him they could go to the wall between now and Christmas after falling behind during the UCI championships, he said. Retailers who usually took $50,000 in a week were left with “a few hundred dollars”. Cr Mitchell said council always knew the event would produce some short-term pain. “Road cycling inevitably brings with it logistical challenges including daily road closures,” he said. “I would like to personally acknowledge the residents and businesses around the course who graciously accepted the impacts of the race in recognition of the great benefits such an event brings to our region.” Council claimed Geelong would reap $50 million from hosting the cycling championships. Police estimated crowds totalling more than 150,000 attended the final day of competition, pushing final attendance figures to 293,000 over the five days. Cr Mitchell called the event a “beautiful week for Geelong”. “Our city shone under the gaze of the world and I’m enormously proud of the quality of the event we have delivered.”

BY ANDREW MATHIESON TALKING to Josie Podbury about Girl Guides is like journeying back to another time. She can recall the changes since she joined the Guides as a 10-year-old wearing a third-hand uniform in 1939. Rather than toasting marshmallows over campfires, the Guides of yesteryear were more concerned helping the war effort. “All the young fellas were heading off to the war and, although I was only a kid, all of us were out collecting scrap,” remembers the sharp 82year-old from Ocean Grove. “Every Saturday we’d have a billy kart and would walk along, knock on doors and ask people whether they had a scrap heap in their backyard. But the scrap we were often collecting was old toothpaste because the toothpaste holders were made of lead.” As one of Geelong’s oldest surviving Guides, Josie is telling her story for a Barwon reunion to celebrate 100 years of the movement next weekend. Hundreds of old Girl Guides from as far back as 1927 will converge on Geelong from all corners of Australia. For Josie, the most conflicting memory is the deep social divisions she encountered when aspiring to become a Guides leader. “Kids that were Catholic like us didn’t mix outside their own church,” she says, “so I was keen to do something in that very realm and that was-

BY ANDREW MATHIESON ACTING has never been so real on the big screen for a Geelong action movie wannabe. For more than 15 years Rob Baard has dedicated every waking moment to his two passions: martial arts and films. Mr Baard is the man behind and starring in The Ninja: He Will Rise, a feature film in production on the streets of his hometown. Now the martial arts junkie has gone to extremes to get into character for the role. Mr Baard said he had gone right to the top of the ninjutsu world to perfect his talents. He had undergone training with the founder of International Bujinkan Dojo Association and 15th dan black belt Richard Vandonk, a personal student of the Japanese grandmaster. Mr Baard said he was just a final exam away from qualification in the art. “Authentic ninjutsu is a very hard thing to find,” Mr Baard said. “In the ’80s many martial arts practitioners claimed to teach ninjutsu (but) we’ve gone to a lot of work for the film to ensure our ninjutsu is authentic.”

Councillor hits back over medal:

MP seeks seat on gravy train BY KIM WATERS AN GEELONG MP wants to deny councillors a medal for long service while he tries to board the parliamentary pension gravy train, according to a councillor. Stretch Kontelj called Member for South Barwon Michael Crutchfield “hypocritical” for attacking Cr Kontelj’s push to establish the medal for councillors who serve 12 years. Cr Kontelj said Mr Crutchfield was desperate to retain his seat at the November 27 state election to qualify for the Victorian parliamentary pension. A report earlier this year said Mr Crutchfield would miss out on the pension by three days if he failed to win. His indexed pension would start around $65,000 a year tax-free for serving the minium eight years as an MP. In last week’s Independent Mr Crutchfield labelled Cr Kontelj’s medal bid “staggering self interest” and “unwarranted”. “At the forthcoming election Michael Crutchfield will be begging Geelong residents to re-elect him so he becomes eligible for a lifelong taxpayer funded pension after only serving eight years as a parliamentary backbencher,” Cr

Last week: The Independent’s medal story. Kontelj said. “Yet Michael believes that a national service award for councillors who have completed at least 12 years consecutive service is unwarranted, outrageous and self-serving.” Cr Kontelj cast doubt on whether Mr Crutchfield deserved such a large pension after only eight years. “Michael no doubt considers that his efforts and modest length

G et the E CALVE N fu l l i n t h E ND T e A I n d e 1 5 O ct o b R pend er e nt

of parliamentary service entitle him to the lifetime largesse at taxpayer’s expense,” Cr Kontelj said. “However, many in the community would not agree with his inflated self-assessment of his contribution. Perhaps rather than put his hand out for a lifelong taxpayer funded pension, Michael should be satisfied with the nine per cent employer superannuation contribution all other working Australians have to make do with.” Cr Kontelj defended his proposal, saying the medal would recognise many former councillors for their community service. Recipients would include former Geelong councillors such as Ian Stacey, Gerry Smith, Jim Fidge and Kevin Kirby who provided over 100 years of combined civic service, he said. “Michael Crutchfield considers this unwarranted and self serving but in his own case believes he should receive a lifelong taxpayer funded pension after only serving eight years,” Cr Kontelj said. Mr Crutchfield provided a oneline statement in response to Cr Kontelj. “Unlike Stretch, I won’t be changing anything to suit my own personal benefits”.

Children’s Week is an annual event celebrated in Australia during the fourth week in October, designed to celebrate and promote the importance of children and early childhood. 83 separate activities are being held throughout Geelong during Children’s Week. These focus the attention of the wider community on children, their needs and achievements.

‘Horror’ over schools’ traffic BY KIM WATERS TRAFFIC problems and dangerous parking outside Geelong schools are creating “near misses and horror stories”, according to a councillor. Infrastructure portfolio holder councillor Andy Richards has called for a report on school “drop off and pick up” zones throughout City of Greater Geelong. Cr Richards said the report should document issues and problems with traffic planning for schools while reporting recommendations for improvements. “This is a big problem at the moment and I’ve heard a number of horror stories,” Cr Richards said. “There are cars lined up on the kerb and on the outside of that another row of cars are doubleparked with kids running in between. “It’s not good enough.” Cr Richards encouraged his council colleagues to “carefully consider” improvements and suggestions for the report. He wanted it finished by June. “It’s always good when we get new facilities like school buildings and kindergartens but some-

are put at further risk by us not policing the situation.” Councillor Barbara Abley supported the report push, saying safety outside schools was “paramount”. “Parents often lose their cool very quickly in this situation and leave their brains at home,” Cr Abley said. Councillors will vote on whether to initiate the report at an upcoming council meeting.

BY KIM WATERS STATE Government has given its blessing for Powercor to cut down hundreds of protected roadside trees despite the objections of residents on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. A Department of Sustainability and Environment spokesperson said Powercor contractor Vemco was “exempt” from the usual requirement of a council permit to remove and poison the trees. “The works, which were part of a three-year cycle to manage vegetation within power line easements, were exempt from the need for a planning permit and compiled with all relevant regulations,” the spokesperson said. “DSE will continue to work with Vemco and local government to ensure an appropriate balance between fire safety and vegetation retention and to minimise the impact on important biodiversity values.” The Independent reported last week that environmental groups were protesting the removal of the trees in a “knee jerk” reaction to the Black Saturday bushfire disaster.

The DSE spokesperson said the department had recently met Powercor, Vemco, Surf Coast Shire and City of Greater Geelong to “clarify” local planning schemes and electric line clearance regulations. But a City spokesperson said contractors working for power companies were still “required to notify” council before clearing vegetation. The City spokesperson said council inquiries into the roadside clearing were “continuing”. Surfers’ Environmental Protection Group’s Graeme Stockton said new state legislation in response to Royal Commission bushfire recommendations had led to removal of roadside trees that were previously “lightly pruned”. “Now that councils aren’t the authority on tree clearing it’s unclear who these companies should be seeking permission from. Obviously they’ve taken that to their advantage.” A Powercor spokesperson said tree removal rather than pruning was “the most practical solution” for the peninsula and Surf Coast trees.

AMENDMENT C218 AND PLANNING PERMIT APPLICATION PP78/2010 - AUTHORISATION A01735 The Greater Geelong City Council has prepared Amendment C218 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme.

The amendment is accompanied by a draft Agreement pursuant to Section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 which provides for the subject land to only be used as a car park. The application is for a permit to develop the subject site for a Car Park. The person who requested the amendment and the permit is St Quentin Consulting on behalf of Frank and Elizabeth Topic.

Building for the future Your quarterly customer newsletter from Barwon Water A positive start to spring Welcome to the spring edition of Building for the Future. Since our last edition, exceptional winter rainfall has helped boost our water storages to an eight-year high. As a result, we are easing water restrictions to Stage 1. We thank you for your water conservation eﬀorts and encourage you to continue to save water wherever possible. You may have noticed Barwon Water now has a fresh, new look. Developed through a community competition, we have created a brand that encapsulates the essence and future direction of Barwon Water. I was proud to be part of the judging panel which chose the three winning entries – from our community, local businesses and schools. These were then combined to produce the ﬁnal design. Thanks to the hundreds of participants and to the community who helped us achieve our fantastic new brand. Kelly Cartwright is a Paralympian and Barwon Water youth and environment ambassador.

Read more online: sign up for e-news at www.barwonwater.vic.gov.au Water restrictions will be eased from Stage 2 to Stage 1 in the greater Geelong region from Sunday 3 October 2010. Above average winter rainfall, delivery of critical new water solutions and strong community awareness of water conservation have contributed to our decision to ease restrictions Key changes to restrictions include: lawns may now be watered by hand at any time; cars may be rinsed with a hand-held hose ﬁtted with a trigger nozzle; and all public playing surfaces may be watered. We thank you for your water conservation eﬀorts and encourage you to continue to save water wherever possible.

Construction of the Birregurra sewerage scheme is on track to commence in October. The scheme includes a reticulation system to 350 properties within the township, two pumping stations and transfer mains which will transfer sewage to the new water reclamation plant. The scheme will address many environmental and social issues within the town caused by the reliance upon septic based systems and on-site eﬄuent drainage.

Trigger nozzle exchange With summer fast approaching, we are encouraging all our customers to swap your old ‘twist’ style hose nozzle for a more eﬃcient trigger nozzle free of charge.

Construction begins on Melbourne to Geelong Pipeline

Nozzles can be exchanged at any of our customer service centres during business hours. Be quick, because numbers are limited.

On Friday 17 September, Victorian Premier John Brumby turned the ﬁrst sod to mark the beginning of construction on the Melbourne to Geelong Pipeline.

Water quality report

The 59 kilometre pipeline is the largest infrastructure project in our 100 year history, and will connect Geelong to the Victorian water grid. This is central to meeting our community’s water supply needs for the next 50 years.

We are committed to providing you with water that is safe to drink and tastes great. If you have any concerns with the water quality or require further information, including opportunities to work with Barwon Water on improving our water quality services, please contact the water quality team on 1300 656 007.

Mr Brumby was joined by local politicians and Barwon Water Board members and management. The Victorian Government has committed $20 million towards the project, with Barwon Water funding the balance of the $137.9 million project.

Water quality: performance of key parameters for July - Sept

A recycled water ﬁrst Barwon Water is investing $900 million over the coming years to secure a sustainable water supply for our next generation. Key projects incorporating diverse water sources include Armstrong Creek and Torquay North, which will become the ﬁrst new residential developments in the Geelong region to receive recycled water, delivered directly to homes, schools, businesses, sports clubs and parks. The high quality recycled water will be supplied from a new treatment plant to be built at the Black Rock Environmental Precinct and delivered through a separate purple pipe system.

‘Secret weapons’ at music festival BY ERIN PEARSON ORGANISERS have promised a “hive of activity” at this weekend’s first Anglesea Music Festival. Festival director Karren Stoneham said headline acts Shane Howard, Chris Wilson, Tiffany Eckhardt, Wendy Stapleton and Lisa Edwards would “draw a crowd” but the festival had a secret weapon. “I think the grassroots performers who nobody knows will really hit home. They’ll be out there to promote themselves. They’re the unknown.” Ms Stoneham believed organisers “had the formula right”. “ I think people will come back because of that reason. I know we’re going to learn a lot along the way but, hey, it’s our first festival and we’ll grow with that.” Ms Stoneham said the festival would feature 90 performers over three days.

$20m library funds ‘at risk’ BY ERIN PEARSON COUNCIL will withdraw a $20 million promise for a new library and heritage centre if state and federal governments fail to commit their share of funding, according to a City Hall spokesperson. The spokesperson said council’s commitment was subject to additional government funding. Councillors have branded Geelong Regional Library and Heritage Centre as in “urgent need” of redevelopment. Cr Barbara Abley, who holds council’s arts and culture portfolio, said time was running out.

“We will require $15 million from State Government and $15 million from Federal Government and we need them to cough that up quick,” she told last week’s council meeting. “Julia (Gillard) better watch out because we’ll go up there to get it. “We also need all the parties in the state election to show us their money.” The Liberals committed $15 million for the redevelopment in the lead-up to August’s federal election. Labor failed to match the commitment. State Government announced last week that Torquay would ben-

efit for a $3 million Living Libraries program to renew public library infrastructure. Local Government Minister Richard Wynne said Torquay Library, which is in the marginal Labor seat of South Barwon, would receive $200,000 for refurbishment. Geelong’s regional library, which is in the safe Labor seat of Geelong, was not on the funding list. Mr Wynne said visits to Victoria’s public libraries were at record levels. “More than 33 million visits are made to libraries each year, with more than 48 million items borrowed,” he said.

THANKS FOR HELPING PUT GEELONG ON THE WORLD STAGE THE EYES OF THE WORLD WERE ON GEELONG LAST WEEK AS WE HOSTED THE 2010 UCI ROAD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WE PUT ON A SENSATIONAL SHOW

Images of the Waterfront, Central Geelong, Queens Park and the Highton hills were broadcast to an international audience of 200 million people. Our city looked spectacular. More than 290,000 people lined the course over the five days and the Aussie cyclists didn’t disappoint. This event would not have been such a great success without the support of the Geelong community. In order to host an international event of this scale a level of inconvenience is necessary.

Geelong’s place on the international map is secured and we will continue to reap the benefits of UCI Road World Championships for many years to come.

Strike-out for baseball plans Aces dump city facility

TCON TTCO TC CON CCO ON O N008 0874 087 874 887 7744//G /GG GG G G

BY ANDREW MATHIESON DATES pencilled in for Geelong to host matches in a revamped national baseball competition have been rubbed off from this summer’s sporting calendar. The sport’s state authorities said Victoria’s premier baseball facility at Waurn Ponds was snubbed to avoid “alienating a lot of baseball people”. Geelong Regional Baseball Centre hosted Victorian Claxton Shield games last year but has been overlooked since the centre’s visiting home team was rebranded Melbourne Aces under the new Australian Baseball League. Aces general manager Stephen Nash confirmed Geelong was out of the running to host matches even though a ready-made baseball centre was unavailable for the team in Melbourne. “At this stage we won’t be playing games down at Geelong,” he said. “We’re hopefully going to make an announcement very shortly of a venue here in Melbourne where we can scheduled all of our home games, so we won’t be playing any ABL games

BY KIM WATERS NEW BUSHFIRE regulations will burn a hole in ratepayers’ hip pockets, according to Geelong councillors. They have warned rates will have to rise to cover a fire levy in State Government’s Bushfires Royal Commission Report recommendations. Cr Andrew Katos suggested City Hall should “break up” rates notices with the levy listed separately so residents would

not blame council. He was concerned about requirements for councils to develop “local plans” for communities at risk of bushfires and to compile and maintain a list of vulnerable residents. He believed councils might not be “qualified” for the task. A council spokesperson said City of Greater Geelong would raise the “funding shortfalls” with State Government. Council should not have to

foot the bill for costly bushfire prevention “activities”, the spokesperson said. Cr Andy Richards said councillors would also write to the Government and Municipal Association of Victoria about “a number of issues” in the final report. “In particular, we will express some concern that no funding has been provided to councils for all the required activities, such as the works

associated with clearing roadsides.” Cr Jan Farrell was “disappointed” with the report’s suggestion for bushfire shelters or “neighbourhood safe houses”. “They should be referred to as a last-resort option, not as a safe house,” she said. Cr Farrell feared residents in high-risk areas such as Ocean Grove and Breamlea would choose to use the shelters as a safer option than fleeing early.

Art of accident victims on road to Geelong BY ERIN PEARSON AN EXHIBITION of the “emotional” artworks of road accident victims will arrive in Geelong next month, according to a spokeswoman for the show. Traffic Accident Commission’s Sarah Campbell said Picture This comprised the work of TAC clients who were already artists or who had taken up art after accidents. “One 19-year-old girl…had been driving along a country road when a horse went through her windscreen. Her image was a reflection of what she saw and it was very moving.” TAC head of community relations Phil Reed said art therapy was renowned for “therapeutic and diagnostic benefits”. “The advantage of art therapy is that it allows anyone, of any age to express how they are feeling,” he said. Mr Reed urged TAC accident clients to submit artworks for the exhibition by vis-

Youths in swing with golf challenge DISADVANTAGED youths will rub shoulders with the golfing set as part of a United Way Geelong charity fundraiser. The participants in a Handbrake Turn program to teach automotive skills will customise and spray paint golf carts for a Shell Birdies for Charity final round at Torquay’s The Sands course in December. With a fundraising target of $70,000, the event offers golfers the chance to win a trip to the USA to watch the Shell Houston Open and play in its pro-am round. Handbrake Turn director Tom O’Brien said golf was usually a foreign sport to most program participants. “This will be a fantastic confidence-building experience for the kids to help them on the path to develop their own career.” The top achievers from Handbrake Turn programs in Geelong, Sunshine and Dandenong will be selected based on their newly acquired expertise

Good turn: Shell’s Mark Schubert and United Way’s Adam Charlston with Handbrake Turn participants Alex Tseros, Mohommad Haddara, Chrystal Harman and Jozz Birrell. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 53885 in refurbishing golf carts. Their day will include a new wardrobe from Quiksilver, lunch and a golf lesson at The Sands then a master chef experience at

Geelong’s Mercure Hotel with culinary tips. The winning team reaps design and cutting equipment from Evologic Geelong.

Bikes ‘to trash park after cut’ regions in Victoria with trail bike problems and when that was spent we were left out. “We’re worried the trail bike committee’s end will send the message to riders that they can do what they like out there.” “There is a culture out there where not all riders stick to rules and have made hundreds of eroded single line tracks. They ride through the bush and the soil erodes. “In some places the ruts are five feet deep.” A Department of Sustainability and Environment spokesperson said a “change of focus” meant

the committee’s “outlook would change”. “Many of the initial goals and objectives of the project have progressed and DSE is currently considering the next steps. “In the meantime, DSE encourages trail bike riders to use state forest in a way that protects the environment and respects others.” The department said the committee would continue meeting once a year for the next two years without funding. Environment Minister Gavin Jennings did not respond to the Independent’s call for comment.

Ms Lindros said the committee would not have to disband. “The Government set aside so many millions of dollars for five

Christian College Geelong is proud to showcase students’ success in music performance at the Annual Music Evening to be held at Costa Hall on Thursday October 14th at 7:00pm. Christian College has developed a vibrant music performance and class studies program over many years. Extensive opportunities in music education can enhance the life of students, encouraging them to strive for their best across the wide and rigorous academic program while exploring and appreciating a wide range of music genres. Students have the opportunity to benefit from having access to the finest music educators who are also accomplished performers. Along with academic rigour, a supportive and friendly community with excellent pastoral care, and an extensive range of extra curricula activities and opportunities, instrumentalists are encouraged and celebrated by the College community. The social and psychological benefit of ‘belonging’ to a group is undoubtedly significant and fundamental to the well-being of an adolescent. Being a member of a team, special interest group, band, orchestra, choir, tour group, house group or club is the reality for music students at Christian College Geelong. The program allows students to pursue their music to the highest level from the early years of schooling through to Year 12. Students take part in core classroom music from Kindergarten to Year 8 with elective music subjects being offered from Years 8 to 12. Students have solo and ensemble rehearsal and performance as well as instrumental and theoretical instruction from specialist educators and performers. The following activities are available to students in the program • Music tuition from specialists on their chosen instrument(s) • A classroom music and academic

program that enhances and supports their performance • Master classes with visiting professional performers • Music examinations – written and practical (AMEB & ANZCA) • Involvement in an extensive and progressive ensemble program – Strings, Choirs, Bands and smaller specialist ensembles (Percussion, Jazz, Folk, Classical Chamber ensembles). • Regular music camps and tours (local, intestate and overseas) – Middle and Senior Schools • Participation in competitions and workshops. • Performance (ensemble and solo) within and outside the College Community The Director of Music, Fiona Gardner stated recently ‘We see many of our instrumentalists achieving Year 12 (Unit 3 & 4) music studies during their Year 11 program. Advanced ‘elite’ performers may opt to specialize in music studies and performance by Year 10 and to have their academic program tailored to suit their needs. A substantial practice schedule is programmed into their regular timetable. Students wishing to pursue tertiary studies in music are assisted in the preparation of auditions including the support of professional accompanists and guidance from faculty members.’ Music students from the Christian College Geelong program have enjoyed success in careers in and out of music with students pursuing tertiary study and professional careers in a broad range of fields such as music therapy, performance, education, event management, sound engineering, acoustical engineering and research.

In 2011 the College will celebrate 20 years of Music Camps and Tours. Twenty years of graduates have fond memories and invaluable life skills from rehearsing and performing in a range of environments and cultures. Most recently 79 of the College Senior musicians were invited to perform at the 25th Anniversary Pacific Basin Music Festival in Honolulu. The students experienced a musical and cultural exchange with students from Japan, USA, Canada, Singapore and Tonga and were recognized for their musical excellence by a panel of international adjudicators. In the Middle Years at Christian College, students attend development camps and are involved in local tours with visiting instrumentalist tutors to guide and inspire them. Christian College Geelong celebrates its music program and in doing so extends an invitation to young instrumentalists from Years 5 to 12 to audition for a limited number of current positions in our ensemble and classroom Music program. Places are available for students of the Middle School Years 5 to 9 at both the Highton and Drysdale Campuses, as well as at the Senior Campus at Waurn Ponds for Years 10 to 12 at Waurn Ponds. These positions are intended for students who wish to pursue their music studies alongside the rigorous academic and extra curricula program at the College. Student instrumentalists of lower brass (trombone, tuba and euphonium) are especially encouraged to consider this unique opportunity. Please contact the Director of Music, Mrs. Fiona Gardner at the Senior Campus (5241 1577) for more information regarding the College music program, audition appointment or the Annual Music Evening Concert.

Christian College invites you to the

Pat the Swagman Local Legends ERIN PEARSON SITTING among piles of booking sheets and South African travel brochures, Swagman Tours operator Pat Mangan is content. Already this year he has visited Africa three times as well as China, New Zealand and outback Australia. Dressed in an unzipped navy blue polar fleece vest, Pat says Australia remains his favourite place despite his travel history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the Kimberley region of Australia,â&#x20AC;? Pat says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a love affair with it since 1982 and every time I go back there I renew that and it never disappoints.â&#x20AC;? A chat with Pat is a true geography lesson as he explains the 50 countries where his iconic company takes travelers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still confronting in Africa when you need to cross a river and you look at the three wooden boats being lashed together with twine to put your Land Cruiser on,â&#x20AC;? he laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must admit itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hit ground on the other side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a realisation of how wonderfully comfortable we are in our lives compared to the subsistence living and lack of amenities that people have in Africa but their happiness and the way they go about there lives is quite unique.â&#x20AC;? He began his working life in

Travelling man: Pat Mangan with his South African Airlines award. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 54249 the finance industry but a chance meeting with an 80year-old woman yearning to visit central Australia wound up with Pat leading a 35-head trek to Alice Springs in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s. After moving to Geelong in 1987 from northern Victoria, Pat began work on his Australian travel business. By 1993 his clients were inquiring about overseas trips. In 1994, Pat launched his first tour to South Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose there was a latent desire that came out in my late 30s and I found my niche,â&#x20AC;? he observes. Swagman Tours now travels to around 50 countries and 16 major destinations in Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember my first trip to

The Kimberley in 1982 when we left Wyndham to go to Derby on our way to Broome down the Gibb River Beef Road and we could tell nobody had been down in a vehicle before, so it was an adventure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we were totally in the unknown,â&#x20AC;? Pat recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had moments where I doubted the accuracy of my navigation but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never got lost.â&#x20AC;? Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride in his profession is evident throughout his office. Clearly, travel is his life. Tucked away under a pile of booking sheets, an aged brown leather suitcase with gold buckles is just visible. An explorer doll complete with beard and backpack sits proudly atop trav-

el guides. Passport photos are pegged to the wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We attract people with a sense of adventure, who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for a five-star hotel and beach, who have a certain quest or yearning to tap the unknown,â&#x20AC;? Pat notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By going off the beaten track they get those experiences.â&#x20AC;? Pat says clients add humor to each trip with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;idiosyncrasiesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still remember when I picked a man up from an international airport to do a safari, the most remote sort of tours we do,â&#x20AC;? Pat reminisces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a professional gentleman and every stitch of clothing he had on was brand new and he was about to go to one of the most remote, dirtiest, roughest places in terms of bush camping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a few days he decided it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his cup of tea but we got him around that and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with us now four or five times, but I never forget all the new things,â&#x20AC;? Pat laughs. Swagman Tours last month won South African Airlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2010 Australian Wholesaler of the Year award. Content with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfy bootsâ&#x20AC;? and home among the Moorabool hills, Pat reassures clients he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be retiring any time soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a very fortunate man. Twenty-five years ago I got into something that has become my life,â&#x20AC;? Pat says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where am I going to go next year, who would know? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are other destinations in Africa to look atâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Medal for dribble I WRITE regarding the story in the October 1 Independent about councillor Stretch Konteljâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push for medals for councillors after serving three terms. I noted that the report was next to an advertisement for Geelong Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Week. How appropriate. Michael Crutchfield made a good suggestion that Cr Kontelj should download an image from the internet and put it on cardboard if he wants an award. I suggest he also puts it on toilet paper to wear around his neck so he can wipe any further dribble from his mouth of self-prominence. Ian J Stacey Leopold

Stage 1 Water Restrictions Apply Effective 1am, Sunday 3 October 2010. Barwon Water is easing water restrictions in the greater Geelong region from Stage 2 to Stage 1, effective Sunday 3 October 2010. We thank you for your water conservation efforts and encourage you to continue to save water wherever possible. Major factors that have contributed to the easing of water restrictions include significant winter rain and the delivery of critical water solutions such as our Anglesea borefield.

are forced to pay $570 million a year for the next 27 years for a desalination plant even if no water from the plant is used. Power bills have also risen dramatically over the past 12 months. $1.1million for two bus shelters is another waste of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars.

TRANSPORT Minister Martin Pakulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments in the September 24 Independent were indicative of a government out of touch with the community and the concept of seeking value for taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars. Mr Pakula described the two bus shelters built in Moorabool St as providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;value for moneyâ&#x20AC;?. At $1.1million, this is another example of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars being willingly frittered away by this Labor Government.

Breaches of Stage 1 Water Restrictions will incur fines The Independent, Friday October 8, 2010

letters Map of demise IT HAS been claimed that the recent international cycling event in Geelong put the city “on the map” globally. Perhaps but it may have hastened the demise of a number of struggling small businesses in and around central Geelong that were starved of their normal passing traffic for several days. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Roadsides to ruin THE PROTECTION of roadsides in our region is essential if we place any value on providing habitat for wildlife and the protection of native flora. In 2010 Australia has the greatest rate of loss of biodiversity in the world, a record of which we should be ashamed and working toward changing. It is therefore disturbing to find that Powercor contractor Vemco has been allowed to chop down at ground level and poison hundreds of perfectly sound habitat trees rather than trim branches to stop them enveloping powerlines (Independent, October 1). Roadside trees have been valued and recognised for many years by both government and the com-

munity for their conservation and landscape values. Can anyone imagine travelling Victoria with our roadsides butchered and devoid of tree cover? Geelong Environment Council has been involved in voluntary roadside studies of indigenous vegetation. The results were centralised and utilised in the designation of a number of biodiversity-protected roadsides. There was no expectation that the protection resulting from the survey work would only be temporary and that these valuable areas would be at serious risk in the future. How can further losses of what should be protected and valued roadside assets be avoided? Authorities and communities must reassert the values of the remnant vegetation left on roadsides and quickly enact regulations to ensure these areas are protected and, where possible, enhanced. If this does not occur then further losses will become normal treatment for powerline protection. Joan Lindros Geelong Environment Council president

Taxing our trust JOHN Howard was ridiculed for years over his never, ever GST but at least he had the guts to take it to an election and explain to the voters why he had

changed his mind. Julia Gillard, on the other hand, went to the election saying there would be no carbon tax under a Gillard Government but immediately after the election said she would inflict a carbon tax on the majority of voters who did not vote for it. Ms Gillard has now proven herself a bigger liar than Mr Howard. Sonia Hamill Newtown

Can’t trust this IT SEEMS Prime Minister Julia Gilliard is dishonest when it comes to politics. She promised before the election there would be no carbon tax but now it is on the agenda. She was obviously determined to win by allowing the Greens to merge with Labor, knowing beforehand their policies but she still went ahead regardless. Having observed her behaviour during the election when she used scare tactics in order to win votes, I have come to the conclusion that nothing she says can be trusted. Christina Dengler Norlane

Help your rowers WHILE Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree was dry the city’s rowing schools travelled to Geelong for training and their annual Head of the Lake regatta. As a former rowing director at Ballarat High School, I found Geelong Rowing Association and the city’s schools and rowing clubs to be extremely friendly and helpful in our time of need. Geelong’s rowing course and its clubs attract many rowing camps and regattas, which all bring valued tourists to the region. I have observed Barwon Rowing Club fostering the fitness and skills of people from all walks of life and age groups. The club’s building is a community asset and any person can join and benefit from this facility. Once its upgrade is complete, the clubhouse will be available for future generations. In the true Australian spirit, a small group of dedicated volunteers is driving this fantastic redevelopment. It is incumbent on governments at all levels to offer assistance. I ask those in public service to use their resources to ensure this facility is finished debt-free so the club can get on with its valuable work of catering for rowers. Peter Jeffery Highton

TOYNEY LAUNCHES GEELONG GOLF ACADEMY

Director of Clubhouse Golf Peter Toyne

If you love golf and always trying to improve your game, Peter Toyne has the answer. The Geelong Golf Academy gives two young golfers an opportunity to further enhance their game and pursue a career in the golf industry an be able to enjoy the game which has been such an intricate part opportunit of Peters life for more than 50 years Geelong Golf Academy training will be delivered over a 12 month period, embracing young golfers between the ages of 14 – 21 in helping them The Geelo their game. develop th program will deliver fortnightly coaching and mentoring from well known and respected golfing coach Mal Humphries, with coaching lessons The progr being hheld on Geelong’s only indoor Golf Simulator at Peters store at 202 Moorabool Street Geelong. PPeter believes his investment in having The PGA TOUR Simulator is the best place to practice and learn the game. The PGA TOUR Simulator comes equipped with the 3Trak tracking engine, the only tracking engine capable of producing data. 3Trak is the only simulator tracking to measure ball kinematics on every plane. It measures all three dimensions of ball spin -- even the largely ignored third component, rifle spin. Direct measurement, using three-dimensional, high speed photography means there are no calculations and no assumptions about ball flight. A push slice is a push slice and a pull hook is a pull hook. This accurate feedback of data allows you to be even more precise in your analysis and subsequent instruction, as well as tracking of progress with students. Peter is very excited about being able to give back to the sport he loves by launching The Geelong Golf Academy. Application forms to be the inaugural students of the Geelong Golf Academy are available through the Geelong Independent or in store at Peter Toynes Clubhouse Golf. For further information on the Geelong Golf Academy contact Peter Toyne at Clubhouse Golf on 52291093.

Power to the DLP

Your sick hospital

I READ with interest a story outlining a proposed motorsports hub at Avalon Airport, possibly covering 120 hectares and catering to multilple motorsports. If this proposal goes ahead it would be a victory for common sense for the proposed motorcross facility at Barrabool’s McAdam Park to be relocated there, too. The Barrabool development has been mired in controversy. It is clearly inappropriately located in a farming community at Barrabool Hills where excessive noise, dust, litter and environmental impacts create an intolerable burden for residents, which is only going to increase over time. The site itself is plagued with problems such as buildings built without adequate permits and work needing to be done to bring the site to internationally accepted standards for siting a motocross facility, requiring planning applications that will be vigorously opposed by residents. Here is a real possibility to site McAdam Park in a true regional centre where significant public infrastructure costs could be properly shared between multiple sport groups. Let’s not miss this golden opportunity to move McAdam Park. Lyn George Barrabool

THE BRUMBY Government’s proposal to cut socalled greenhouse gases by 20 per cent by 2020 while satisfying the radical left and greenies will mean much higher electricity costs for the average household. Victoria has an abundance of cheap and reliable coal-generated power supply yet here we have Labor wanting to ditch it in favour of much more expensive wind and solar power. Wind farms are not only an eyesore but bad for many native birds, have a very limited life and can only work when the wind is blowing between certain speed velocities. If the wind is too strong they are turned off. Besides, professors Richard Lindzen, Bob Carter and Ian Plimer all say that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions pose no problem to the environment. There is no reason to be concerned about CO2 emissions at this time. Calling carbon, the elixir of life, a pollutant is an oxymoron – it’s like saying oxygen is a pollutant. For a sensible approach on energy vote DLP. Labor means higher taxes and wasteful spending on unnecessary, costly and unreliable renewables. Alan Barron DLP candidate for South Barwon

THE SPECIFIC gravity of air is one but the specific gravity of carbon dioxide is 1.5189, which makes it more than one and a half times as heavy as air. Black balloons full of carbon dioxide should go down, not up. All plants take in carbon dioxide and discharge oxygen. No heavy carbon dioxide, no plants, no humans. Carbon dioxide is the greenest of all gases, not a pollutant. We call soil black when it is rich in carbon. Over 90 per cent of Australian soil is deficient in carbon but now they are burying the stuff. Australia exports million of tonnes of coal a year yet Australia is not to use coal. The theory is that sunlight comes to Earth, some is reflected back into the atmosphere and absorbed by carbon dioxide, methane and clouds, which heats the atmosphere. This melts sea ice and heats the sea, raising sea levels. CSIRO chief executive Megan Clarke said the sea is rising at 1.5mm to 3mm a year. Victorian Regional Channels Authority said the sea level has not risen. The green theory doesn’t make sense. Allen Mackenzie Winchelsea

THE BRUMBY Government’s own hospitals report recently proved that Barwon Health is in crisis and that Geelong Hospital has been neglected by Labor for more than 11 years. The report showed that 29 per cent of category two emergency department patients were not treated within the required time of 10 minutes, while 39 per cent of category three urgent emergency department patients were not treated within the benchmark of 30 minutes. Additionally, 2094 patients were on the elective surgery waiting list in June. I am concerned about the serious problems at Geelong Hospital and the impact on patients. I would be interested to hear the stories of patients who have had long waits for treatment or other problems. They can contact me by phoning 9888 6244 or by emailing david.davis@parliament.vic.gov.au. David Davis Victoria shadow health minister

Kasey bears her art and soul

Family first: Country star Kasey Chambers plays in Geelong next month.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie

For more photos search ID # 52570 at starphotos.com.au.

BY ERIN PEARSON ART REALLY does imitate life for Australian ARIA award winner Kasey Chambers. Now a married mum of two, the country-pop artist has drawn on her young family life for long-awaited solo album Little Bird. “I think the whole thing about my life is it’s about balance and I finally feel like I’ve found the right balance,” she told the Independent. “Having a real life is what sparks songs.” Chambers, who will perform in Geelong next month, lives on New South Wales’ Central Coast with husband Shane Nicholson and sons Talon, 8, and Archie, 2. With Little Bird riding high in the music charts, she admitted touring had taken a back seat since the birth of her second son but her love of music was still strong. Her new 14-track album goes “all the way back” to the sound of her first two albums, The Captain and Barricades and Brickwalls, with traditional country, rock and pop tunes. Chambers said the title track was a “special song”. “I was thinking back on a time when I was just starting to get into the music industry and getting told by a lot of people that if I wanted to be successful I’d have to change the style of music I played and change the way I looked and that’s when I

wrote Not Pretty Enough,” she said. “I was not feeling like I fitted in and I got thinking recently about how I’m glad I didn’t listen to any of those people and did my own things and played the music I loved. “I feel really lucky to have been able to break through to an audience who maybe wanted to hear something real and true. I’m so proud of that now.” Chambers’ children had also helped shape her music. “I love music and I do it a lot and that’s my job but my main job is being a mum, so my day-to-day life is very much making school lunches and dropping kids at swimming lessons and soccer,” she said. “I spend more time in P and C meetings than I do in rehearsals. “[Family support] makes such a difference. I’ve always got these great people around me who bring me back down to Earth and make me realise what’s real about life.” Five years since the release of her last solo album, Chambers was still “blown away” by her array of fans. “I go and sign autographs after the show and I see grandparents come up and tell me they are here with their daughter and granddaughter and that is so lovely so see,” she smiled. “I’m not really sure how that happened but I’m glad it did.” Kasey Chambers will perform at Costa Hall on November 5.

he time has come once again to dust off the lederhosen and pull out the rusty German for the Carlton Hotel’s annual Oktoberfest celebration. The Carlton’s Oktoberfest has been a rousing success in the past three years for beer lovers all over Geelong. Plans for this year’s celebration are no exception. Owner Rod Van Der Chys says the annual event is set to be “one hell of a rollicking affair”. Rod encourages anyone aged 18 to 98 to come along for a beer, some Bavarian food and outstanding German-style entertainment. “The event has been really successful previously and this year I’m sure will be the same,” Rod says. “We’ll transform our pub into a Bavarian beer hall with long restaurant trestle tables and staff dressed in lederhosen.” The Carlton will serve three types of German beer in half-litre and one-litre steins. “The kitchen will offer mouth watering Bavarian food, like schnitzels and bratwurst,” Rod says. “We also have a Jagermeister tent pitched inside the pub with the Jager girls there, which is always a winner.” The true experience and flavour of Oktoberfest will

PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI SAUCE

method

ingredients

READER’S RECIPE INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4) > 500g lean beef mince > 200g orecchiette pasta > 3 large Zucchinis > Extra Virgin Olive Oil for cooking > 6 Whole Anchovies > 3 Garlic Cloves > sea salt > freshly Ground black Pepper > fried Chilli Flake > fresh Parmesan to serve

Now a nine-time ARIA award nominee, Miller said her influences come from both her adult life and childhood memories. Her family, including four brothers, were raised in a bohemian household within a typically suburban setting. Miller’s father was a painter and her brother Lewis has won an Archibald portrait prize, so art runs in her veins. “My older brother Paul used to take me to Hound Dog’s Bop Shop in North Melbourne and I was into Gene Vincent and Ronnie Self, as well as early RnB stuff like Lavern Baker, Ann Cole and Smiley Lewis,” she said.

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook “al dente”.

Meanwhile, grate the zucchinis and place aside.

In a large frying pan, heat plenty of olive oil and add the anchovies, crushed garlic and sea salt.

Fry for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously until the anchovies start to soften.

Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and freshly ground pepper, followed by the grated zucchinis and a dash more olive oil.

Stir for a further 2 minutes.

When the pasta is cooked (it should take 10 minutes), drain well and add to the sauce.

Toss the pasta through the sauce and spoon onto plates.

Grate fresh Parmesan over the top and finish with freshly ground pepper.

Miller joined her first band, The Hepelectics, a few years later after responding to an advertisement for a rockabilly singer. After years working in different bands she moved into a solo career, releasing debut EP Do That For You and All Worked Out in 1995. She has since released six solo records and toured with international artists as diverse as Neil Young, Nick Cave, Billy Bragg and Jonathan Richman. Miller and Dog Trumpet will perform at Piping Hot Chicken Shop this Saturday.

and this is what the venue is all about. “Plus, when you have a smaller space it’s really great to work with that and see how you can fill that space.” Miller said patrons could expect a “full on performance”. “I sort of stretched myself vocally a bit more on this album,” she said. “I‘ve just been up at Brisbane for a festival because we put out the new record and received a great response, so I’m really excited to bring it down the coast now.” The new album has earned two ARIA nominations for best producer and adult contemporary artist of the year.

Helping reveal Secret lingerie ecret Kiss Lingerie is the brainchild of mother-anddaughter team Sharee Herbert and Karalyn Keirl whose own frustration at the difficulty of shopping for lingerie gave them their business concept. After travelling abroad and finding great products and brands unavailable to consumers in-store in Australia, they launched Secret Kiss Lingerie. “We decided to make them available,” Sharee said. “We knew there were many other ladies finding it difficult to get beautiful lingerie to fit, especially for women like us in sizes above a DD cup. After lots of research, corsetry training and hard work, Secret Kiss Geelong opened its doors in 2008. A second store opened at Point Cook in 2009. “Our passion is to help ladies have comfortable, feminine, functional lingerie that is of course also stylish and fashionable,” Karalyn said. “We believe you are entitled to this regardless of body shape of size.” Secret Kiss Geelong stocks sizes eight to 28A right up to Kcup bras in underwired and nonunderwired ranges. Brands in stock include Fayreform, Elomi, Freya, Fanatasie, Berlei, Berlei Curves, Panache, Simone Perele and Kiss Cotures, just to name a few.

S Dean Holroyd and Neil Sandwith at Gordon Avenue Pools and Spas with the business’s award for excellence.

Pool, spa leader ordon Avenue Pools and Spas has been established for 28 years and continues to grow. Owner Dean Holroyd and installation manager Neil Sandwith have been around since the start to ensure a high standard of products and service to customers. “We install around 140 pools each year,” Dean says. The latest accolade bestowed upon the Geelong West business has also further cemented its position as an industry leader in the state. Gordon Avenue Pools and Spas recently took out a 2010

Swimming Pool and Spa Association best pool display award. New colours and types of pools in the display were highlighted in the Gold Award honour. Gordon Avenue Pools and Spas has a proven record installing swimming pools, swim-spas, spas and all associated equipment. It has a service department that can tackle maintenance problems or avoid them with routine services. Gordon Avenue Pools and Spas also offers free water testing in store. “Now that it’s getting warmer it’s time to get your pools up to

speed and into summer mode, making sure all equipment is working as it should,” Dean says. Swimming pools are all about lifestyle: entertainment, relaxation, fitness, therapy and fun. Gordon Avenue Pool and Spas has a pool for everyone, including state-of-the-art self-cleaning inground stunners right through to budget-friendly above-ground options. Gordon Avenue Pools and Spas, like the name suggests, is at 6-8 Gordon Avenue, Geelong West. For more information phone 5221 3422 or visit www.gordonave.com.au.

LEADING THE WAY IN DESIGN AND INNOVATION

Secret Kiss Lingerie’s Sharee Herbert and Karalyn Keirl. “We truly have something for every lady,” Sharee said. Along with its passionate mission to help the women of Geelong and Melbourne, Secret Kiss Lingerie also has a Bra Drive charity effort for Uganda and South Africa. “We send bras donated by customers all the way to the ladies at Uganda’s Bushikori community. Bushikori is a combined charity effort including a community school, an orpahange, child sponsorship and a women’s and children’s health clinic,” Karalyn

said. “Bras are a very precious item to these ladies and we are happy to do our bit to help. We thank our customers for all their generous donations. “We are here to help, so if you’re having bra issues, if your straps are falling off, your bra is riding up your back, you’re in need of extra boost and lift or you’re simply not sure what size to wear, come in and visit the friendly trained team of corsetiers at Secret Kiss Lingerie. “It’s our mission to help.”

four-tonne Daimler limousine valued at more than $3 million and a one-of-a-kind 1937 Alfa Romeo arrived at Melbourne airport last week. The cars are the first overseas entrants to arrive for Motorclassica – the motor show for classic cars. Both cars have come from the United States where they made their mark at the Pebble Beach and Quail Concours d’Elegance, The Daimler and Alfa are the first of several cars that will be shipped to Australia for the Melbourne event. Their combined value is estimated at $5 million, but their intrinsic value is thought to be even greater with both cars irreplaceable survivors from a past age. The 1928 Daimler P.1.50 Double Six Royal Limousine weighs a whopping four tonnes and is one of only 12 ever built. Under the bonnet is a Daimler 7.1 litre, 12 cylinder engine. Owner Bob Lorkowski, from Wisconsin in the United States said the car was sold new in 1928 to Sir Frederick Stewart in Sydney where it was registered as NSW 1. Sir Frederick was a successful businessman who founded Australian National Airways with (Sir) Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm and was a United Australia Party Member of the House of Representatives from 1931 to 1946. The Daimler is believed to be the only surviving example of the type. “Most of these large cars that were

sold in England were melted down for the war effort, whereas this one was safely garaged in Australia,” Mr Lorkowski said. The 1937 Alfa Romeo Aerodynamica Spider was conceived in 1934 by Alfa Romeo chief engineer Vittorio Jano and developed in secret by Gino and Oscar Jankovits in Hungary. Fitted with a streamlined body and a six cylinder, 2.3 litre engine, it was hidden during the war and used by the Jankovits brothers in late 1946 to escape from the post-war communist regime. When the Alfa was restored recently several bullet holes were found in the body panels. Motorclassica event director Paul Mathers said he was excited that such rare and spectacular cars would be on show in Melbourne this month. “Melbourne in springtime is the perfect place to display such wonderful cars, both from local and overseas collections and the Royal Exhibition Building is the perfect venue,” he said. “In just a few short weeks, we will have more than 100 rare classic cars and supercars here for the Concours d’Elegance and Classic Motor Show, collector car auction and a free ‘Picnic with the Classics’ display in Argyle Square, Carlton.” Mr Mathers said car collectors from around Australia are preparing their cars, while several more are expected to arrive form overseas. “One local collector has already staged a dress rehearsal by bringing several of his cars out of a secret underground garage for the run to the Exhibition Building.” Motorclassica, the Australian International Concours d’Elegance and Classic Motor Show, takes place at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton from October 22 to 24 October.

RAV4 gets bigger BY ERIC BLAIR he Toyota â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Recreational All-road Vehicle 4cylinderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which is what RAV4 stands for, began its life as a funky vehicle aimed at the young and the young at heart. Over the years it expanded in size and, since the introduction of the latest series introduced in February 2006 is now aimed at the family car market rather than the trendy singles and couples that were its previous targets. Toyota has just joined another trend and has now added a 2WD variant of RAV4. Four adults can get comfortable inside a Toyota RAV4, even on long trips. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent legroom in the back seat and headroom for all but the tallest. On the downside, the spare wheel and its cover can hide relatively large objects when reversing so drivers have to take extra care not to run over objects left on driveways. The typical family load of two adults and three kids, with a pile of luggage will travel with room to spare in a Toyota RAV4 V6 wagon. We found the RAV4 to be a little soft in suspension and the steering to lack feel in the straight ahead position. Toyota RAV4 V6 uses a 3.5-litre engine produc-

ing 200 kilowatts. A high-tech unit, the V6 has twin overhead camshafts and variable valve timing to maximise efficiency, which includes reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of grunt at all times from this engine, indeed some may find it has almost too much off the line. The inherent balance of a V6 makes it much smoother and quieter than a four-cylinder, so this RAV4 V6 is smooth and refined, with a real feeling of class and quality wherever it goes. Rather than using fulltime 4WD, the latest RAV4 normally puts drive only to the front wheels. The recent advances in electronic assistance in all-wheel traction really are impressive in their ability to gather the maximum in traction. If you are going to suffer the downside of owning a 4WD, such as the aforementioned higher fuel consumption, why not use this Toyota SUV for the purpose its designers intended. Instead of treating it purely as a people mover, why not explore some interesting forest trails, perhaps take it for a run on a beach, or even go for that long dreamt of expedition to the real outback? This Toyota is tougher and more capable than at first might appear obvious, hardly a surprise from a car maker that has dominated the 4WD scene in Australia for many decades.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON DEPARTING Geelong coach Mark Thompson has revealed he kept his plans to quit the club a secret for weeks before telling Cats president Frank Costa days ago. Thompson confessed this week he was “pretty much over the job” after 11 years, 161 wins, seven finals’ series and two premierships from three grand finals. He defended keeping the club in the dark despite being fully aware during the Cats’ 2010 finals campaign that this season would be his last at the helm of the club. “I kept it to myself because if I had have done it six weeks ago then the whole speculation about who was going to replace me and the goodbyes would have been a distraction to the team,” Thompson said. “I totally wanted to put every bit of effort into winning the 2010

premiership. “It didn’t happen unfortunately, although we got close, and since then I’ve just proceeded to do what I’ve done.” Thompson informed Geelong chief executive officer Brian Cook last week that he was “burnt out” and suggested he was considering whether to coach next year. Geelong gave the 46-year-old until the start of trade period this week to make a final decision. He told Costa on Monday morning he would resign one year before the end of his contract. “In the end, after every season you get tired and you don’t think that clearly,” Thompson said. “It’s a busy period, so I wanted to make sure that when I went away from footy for a little time that I was making the right decision.” As Thompson told a press conference this week that he was

aware he had “let the club down by walking away,” Cook sat ashen-faced on one side of him while Costa was uncharacteristically sombre on the other. Thompson continually looked to either of them for reassurance when talking about his time at the club and the pair nodded back in appreciation. “You know in your heart when it’s time to give up,” Thompson said. The two-time premiership coach refused to crush rumours he was headed to Windy Hill to assist rookie Essendon coach James Hird. Cook said Thompson had given six weeks’ notice and was “pretty much a free man after that”. “What I’m going to do tomorrow is sit down and reflect and see what I want to do next,” Thompson said. “I really don’t know what I’m going to be doing – end of story.”

Big day out: Brenton Hodges with a sample of his squid and salmon captures on the weekend. also been holding up along the rocks early morning. Jacob Finch fished the sandbar at the grammar school lagoon with soft plastics, catching any number of salmon to 35cm along with three flathead to 850g. After my report last week of brown trout in the Barwon River, Peter Stirling worked the runs at Buckley Falls with SX40s to land three quality fish, the best around 1.5kg. Terry Sharp tried the junction of the Barwon and Leigh rivers where he caught a trout of 900g and an average-size redfin. Lake Fyans has rewarded anglers willing to travel, with trolling clearly out-fishing bait for trout and redfin. Lake Purrumbete again fished well,

with anglers taking browns close to 3kg and redfin to 900g. Trolling Tassie Devils in any of the gold colours is best on the trout, while bobbers and ice jigs are the go for the redfin. West Barwon Resrvoir has been producing brown trout to just over 1kg on mudeye under floats and on lures such as Rapala X Raps, with evening best. Wurdee Buloc Reservoir has started to produce again, with brown trout averaging 1kg and redfin to 600g starting to respond well to slowly-worked lures.

GEELONG Cricket Club kicks off another campaign this weekend with two one-day matches to make up for last weekend’s postponed start due to the AFL grand final replay combined with a cold, wet spring. A new era looms for the Cats, with senior players like Damian Shanahan and Clinton Peake hanging up the whites after many years of high-class performances at district level. Add the apparent easing of longtime keeper-batsman Andre Borovec’s workload and it’s time for a new generation of stars to lead the way. While Shanahan will still be involved in a coaching capacity, he’ll hope youngsters such as Cameron Alford, Jeremy Hart and Alex Stanley can continue on from last season’s impressive improvement. Geelong travels to HawthornMonash Uni tomorrow and then hosts St Kilda from 11am Sunday. In Geelong Cricket Association, Thomson rejoins the top flight after a number of years topping the table in division two and finally bringing home the bacon with a premiership last season. The last time Thomson contested the division one competition it did so on the back of some quality but ageing stars who found the going a bit beyond them. This time around, though, the Tigers come in with some exciting young talent such as Sean O’Neill and Dean Riches, who will be champing at the bit to test their skills against the best players in the region. Tomorrow they host East Belmont, a perennial powerhouse full of experienced stars who will be looking to assert their dominance early. The Lions have added to their batting line-up with returning Englishman Matt Lineker, a two-time premiership player at this level. This combined with a youthful bowling line-up led by last season’s league average winner, Matt Caulfield, should see the Lions claim a close one. Other selections: Leopold v SOUTH BARWON, LARA v Newtown & Chilwell, ST JOSEPHS v Manifold Heights, Bell Post Hill v NORTH GEELONG, GEELONG WEST v Grovedale.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE If someone had told the faithful at Geelong City a few years back they would compete against lowly neighbour St Albans Breakwater in 2010/11 they would have received some strange looks and most likely some choice words. But such is the fortune of local cricket that this is exactly the prospect facing the Sharks this season as they contest the division two competition for the first time in many years. To their credit, they have taken the bull by the horns and appointed champion local player Graeme Beaumont as coach and experienced opening batsman Adam Pitts as captain. They take on North Shore tomorrow and should get off to a positive start with a victory. Other selections: HIGHTON v Waurn Ponds, ALEXANDER THOMSON v Torquay, Guild St Marys v ST ALBANS BREAKWATER, Newcomb & District v MARSHALL, ST PETERS v Murgheboluc. Modewarre commences its defence of the division three premiership tomorrow when it hosts Corio. Throughout most of last year many simply assumed St Albans-Breakwater would easily claim the flag but, as has been said many times over the years, cricket is a funny game and Modewarre stood up when it counted to defeat Teesdale in the grand final to claim its second title in three years. Corio had mixed results last year, playing some quality cricket at times but inconsistency seemed to be its main problem. Corio will seek to rectify this year as it matures as a team, so don’t be surprised if they snatch a win here. Other selections: INVERLEIGH v Lethbridge, Meredith v BELL PARK, WINCHELSEA v Bannockburn, Anakie v TEESDALE, LITTLE RIVER v Corio Bay.

FANTASTIC fishing conditions translated to outstanding captures over the past week. Aaron Hassett and Tom Elliot fished Queenscliff for squid on the afternoon rising tides with great success, as did Paul Harding who nailed his bag limit in just one hour. Brenton Hodges and Sam Ira made an early start at Queenscliff, catching 15 by 8.30am before leaving and putting in the afternoon at Barwon Heads where they caught any number of small salmon in the river and larger fish near the mouth on soft plastics. Upstream at Ozone Jetty, Neville Shaw caught small salmon, mullet and trevally on sandworms along with a 42cm bream that took a Gulp Turtleback worm. Ballarat’s Nick Whelan fished with Gamerec’s Ben Malouf in the Queenscliff cut where they caught trevally, mullet and Tommy rough on soft plastics. A later squid trip on the bay yielded specimens close to 1.5kg on Yamashita jigs. Trevor Sharp also fished the cut with plastics, landing six trevally to 1.5kg was landed along with any number of Tommy rough. Terry Jones fished the entrance to Swan Bay where he caught a bag limit of squid along with a 63cm flathead. Whiting were also caught, with most taken on the ebbing tide with fresh squid. Gary Cameron took his bag limit of whiting on the afternoon rising tide at St Leonards, with some fish 44cm. At Long Reef, Werribee’s Peter Farnsworth caught generally small snapper on soft plastics along with one fish of 3.5kg. This area has also been producing some quality pike on trolled lures. The most consistent reports of whiting have been coming from Grassy Point, Governor Reef and Coles Channel where fresh squid has been clearly the best bait. One of the best whiting captures was from within Stingaree Bay where Steve Holt bagged 20 fish in a hot two-hour session on Sunday along with a handful of garfish on silverfish suspended under a float. Garfish were also taken from Point Lillias, which has also started to reward anglers with some big pike while trolling small bibbed lures. Pike also started showing up at North Shore rocks, which produces fish on the evening low tides for anglers using small, metal, baitfish-profile lures. Salmon have
