Worst of downpours ‘skirting’ Geelong as rest of state inundated BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG is bucking the trend as other Victorian centres battle flooding, according to a weatherman. Meteorologist Lindsay Smail said the city’s rain between January and November was only its sixth highest on record, unlike much of the rest of the state. Geelong was emerging from the recent downpours around Victoria “rather unscathed”, he said. “Over spring we were talking about it being the wettest spring ever in Victoria but it wasn’t so in Geelong,” Mr Smail said. “Back in 2007 we had 100 millimetres in November, which was more than we had this year. Out wettest spring was in 1949 when Geelong had 350mm of rain but this year we’ve only had 266mm.” Mr Smail said towns like Warrnambool and Bendigo were experiencing muchhigher-than-average rain but Geelong was on par with previous years. “Geelong doesn’t follow the rest of the state. We tend to buck the trend quite a bit. “Geelong’s experiencing higher-thanaverage rainfall now but we also did in 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2005.” However, Mr Smail warned residents to brace for extended rain over summer. “Over the next few months Geelong should continue to see rain. We’re still experiencing a La Nina system, which brings moist air across eastern Australia. “At the moment, though, it looks like a fine day for Christmas.” Mr Smail said Geelong had recorded 616mm of rain so far this year compared to its annual average of 520mm.

Ford engine ‘cutback’ Mr Sexton said engine production had fallen from 240 to 190 a day amid rumours it could go as low as 60. The company also had plans for a “floating workforce”, he said. Workers had been told redundancy packages were no longer available after Ford offered hundreds two years ago. “They’re concerned about their future,” Mr Sexton said. “They’re concerned about all

“It’s only 190 engines at this stage but it could drop,” he said. “We’re going to have some discussions with the company about their plans. Hopefully we can nut out exactly what is the process to deal with any issues that come up in the next couple of months as far as product changes go.” Mr Sexton said growth in iron casting work at the plant could save excess labour in other departments. 299078-HR40-9

the product changes that are coming and what sort of effects that’s going to have on them,” Mr Sexton said. “They’ll be a little bit nervous for maybe the next six to 12 months until they see what happens with all of the company’s decisions.” Mr Sexton said some workers claimed to have been told privately that a cutback in engine production to 60 “wasn’t out of the question”.

Ford reassigned Mr Burela to China last month after two years in charge of Ford Australia operations. He started his career with the company at its North Shore casting plant 25 years ago. Ford spokesperson Sinead McAlary confirmed engine production would fall to 190 in the new year. The change of leadership would have no effect on Ford’s Geelong operations, she said.

“There is no basis for alarm bells. Ford Australia’s new president and chief executive Bob Graziano is excited about leading the Ford Australia team and is committed to growing the brand further.” The Independent revealed last month that workers would be hundreds of dollars out of pocket in the lead-up to Christmas after Ford asked them to take off eight unpaid “down days”.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG’S Ford workers are “nervous” about their future after a new cutback in engine production, according to a representative. Senior shop steward Brendan Sexton said the recent departure of Geelong’s Marin Burela as Ford Australia president and chief executive officer had also heightened anxieties at the North Geelong plant.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON SCIENTISTS will tap into the science of beer in central Geelong this weekend to show there is more froth and bubble behind the perfect beer than just its thirst-quenching appeal. The amber fluid may never taste the same to onlookers after Royal Institute of Australia conducts an “interactive exploration” of beer production at Central Geelong Farmers Market on Saturday. Malt beer scientist Dr Evan Evans will join brewer Scott Wilson-Browne to cover the science behind the process from “grass to glass”. The institute’s Anne Walker said the beer display would be a first for Victoria. “What we want to do is actually get people curious about science – that’s the whole idea,” she said. “We’re choosing something that has broad appeal and then looking at the science behind it so it’s about the chemistry and all the processes behind the technology.” While other Victorian centres WOULD endure sessions on astronomy, microscopy and science arts, Ms Walker predicted Geelong’s beer class would be “very popular”. But she doubted one of civilisation’s most ancient biotechnologies would turn boozers into boffins “There will be plenty of audience participation, and I’d imagine there will be fair bit of tasting.”

Councillor anger as ‘six-into-one Newtown housing project’ opens BY ERIN PEARSON A PUBLIC housing development on expensive land in Newtown has squashed six dwellings onto a 500-square-metre block, according to ward councillor Stretch Kontelj. He labelled the Marshall Street development “overcrowded and over-built” after its official opening this week. Cr Kontelj, who was not invited to the opening, said the housing block should have been built “elsewhere” on cheaper land where more space was available. The development is one of five Federal Government “social housing” projects set for Newtown. Cr Kontelj said four allotments earmarked for the projects were government-owned but the

Marshall Street site was bought privately. Similar-size properties in the area have recently sold for more than $600,000. “What they could have done was sold the Newtown land and made an absolute fortune then bought land in a more-affordable area and tripled the number of homes they built,” he said. “Instead they were rushing to get these projects up and now expect six families to live on what is smaller than an average suburban block. “I have never seen a project of that scale (Marshall Street) built on such a small property in my 13 years on council. “It’s not something you want to encourage as social housing.” Cr Kontelj said the Marshall

Street development site coverage was illegal but council found out too late to launch a challenge. “As far as council is concerned, we were conned.” Cr Kontelj said the Marshall Street development would adversely affect neighbours’ property values. Member for Corio Richard Marles opened the Marshall Street development, and said it would help women in need of affordable housing. Tenants would arrive in the new year. Mr Marles said the project was part of Federal Government’s “$49 million social housing investment” in his electorate to build 156 dwellings and refurbish 770.

Junkie burglar in jail after police car chase BY KIM WATERS A HEROIN addict is in prison after his burglary spree culminated in a safe being thrown out a car window during a police chase through Geelong. Magistrate Michael Coghlan sentenced thirty-one-year-old Ashley Hughes, of Geelong, to 14 months jail after he pleaded guilty to 20 charges of burglary and theft. Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Kerry Maloney told Geelong Magistrates Court Hughes broke into a bakery, a car hiring service, three hair dressing salons, two cafes and two takeaway food shops between July 13

and July 29. Hughes stole cash, a safe, four expensive hair straighteners and soft drinks, she said. Police arrested Hughes for the thefts, laid charges and released him on bail but busted him again two months later for burglary of Torquay’s Salted Starfish children’s clothing store. The court heard a security guard saw Hughes speeding away from the shop in a white Commodore sedan. Later the same night police chased the car around Geelong West and Manifold Heights at speeds up to 160 km/h, Snr Sgt Maloney said.

The pursing police saw a passenger in Hughes vehicle throw a safe containing $691.75 out of the car as the chase proceeded down Herne Hill’s McCurdy Road. Snr Sgt Maloney said Hughes abandoned the car before police arrested him three days later. “He told police that he knew what he had done was wrong and stated ‘It’s all for heroin’.” Hughes’ lawyer said his client “understood the seriousness” of his crimes. “Mr Hughes is on anti-depressants and has been diagnosed with chronic

low self-esteem. Clearly he has a capacity to be a worthwhile member of society and if he can beat the addiction he should be all right.” Mr Coghlan said Hughes’ failure to “seize the opportunities” of a credit bail program he undertook after the first thefts in July was “unfortunate”. “You were offending to feed an addiction of heroin…and your extensively dangerous driving (was) putting other road users at risk,” Mr Coghlan said. He sentenced Hughes to 14 months jail. Hughes will serve seven months, including time already served, before becoming eligible for bail.

Animal society drowning under wave of dumped pets BY ERIN PEARSON AN “UNPRECEDENTED” wave of unwanted pets threatens to swamp Geelong Animal Welfare Society, according to manager Robyn Stewart. She said the society was dealing with record numbers of dumped cats in particular after warm weather extended the breeding season, producing a surge in kittens. Ms Stewart expected the society’s Moolap pound to receive more dogs and cats than ever over summer as animals continued breeding and families abandoned new pets. The shelter was struggling to feed the dumped animals, she said. “We spent $18,223 on food (last financial year), which was above what we got donated and was $1000 more than we spent the year before. “Some months we could get more than 200 dogs, some with puppies, so it’s very unpredictable how much food we need but we always need more.” Ms Stewart said hot weather until May would prompt the surge in dumped and stray cats. “A cat with seven-week-old kittens goes back onto heat and can have three more litters before the season ends. People need to get the message that pets must be desexed.” The society handled 3729 cats in 2009/2010, 600 more than the previous year. Ms Stewart said donations to the society’s Chrismas appeal could be made by phoning 5248 2091 or visiting the society at 325 Portarlington Road, Moolap.

in brief United split GEELONG’S peak fundraising body for welfare agencies has split from its national and international affiliates, according to United Way’s Jordan Mavros. He said United Way Geelong Region would continue operating as usual but had disaffiliated from the parent bodies because their new “centralised strategy” would focus on capital cities, potentially at the expense of regional fundraising efforts.

Death probe INVESTIGATIONS are continuing into the death of a man after an “altercation” with two younger men outside St Leonards Hotel, according to police. Police said the 48-yeear-old suffered head injuries and died at the scene after he fell to the ground during the “scuffle”.

Samoa trip MEMBER for Corio Richard Marles has returned to Geelong from a trip to Samoa. Mr Marles, federal parliamentary secretary for Pacific island affairs, said he met members of Samoa’s chamber of commerce and had discussions on “issues of mutual interest, such as regional fisheries”.

Paid back SEVEN Geelong region workers have reaped $50,000 in reimbursements for underpayment at the hands of their employers, according to Australia’s Fair Work Ombudsman. The Ombudsman’s office said “recent investigations” led to the reimbursements, which included $13,100 for a Lara transport worker.

Top chief THE CHIEF of Geelong’s The Gordon TAFE institute has won a national CEO of the Year award. A statement from The Gordon said Australian Human Resources Institute bestowed its top annual award on Grant Sutherland for achievements including “outstanding and noticeable improvements in performance indicators” at the school.

Cash splash NETBALLERS and Geelong’s Splashdown Leisure Centre have reaped a windfall of more than $1 million in funding, federal MPs have announced. They said $591,000 would help upgrade Karindia Park Regional Netball Complex’s pavilion, while Splashdown would receive $455,000 to generate its own electricity, heat its pool and “reduce greenhouse gas emissions”.

Edgewater ‘gloom’ gives way to tenant purchases passing trade meant operating a business at Edgewater was “hard work”. This week he was more optimistic. “We’re really taking a big punt but that is how much faith I have got in it down here,” Mr Oates said. “I really, really want it to remain for kids and their families on the waterfront. “The rental needs to be affordable and now it can be. It’s going to take a few hard years…but at least we can

control that.” Mr Oates said he had felt forced into buying his ice cream shop premises when anticipating how its rent would otherwise be “catastrophic in a few years”. “If all tenants could do that then down the track it would be a good investment if you business is viable and you are your own tenant.” Administrators began selling Edgewater apartments and commercial premises after developer Solid

NO DEBT..!

Investments went into liquidation last year. A series of the commercial premises sold at auction last Friday, including The Edge bar, for more than $9 million. Selling agent Grant Sutherland, of Sutherland Farrelly, said the final sales were a good sign for Geelong’s waterfront. “I thought they were good results,” he said. “What was expected by the vendor is a different thing.”

Order to clean up environmental act after grasslands damage

City works ‘without permit’ BY ANDREW MATHIESON FAILING to obtain a permit for a pipeline project that damaged endangered grassland will cost Geelong’s council $131,000, according to Federal Government. The Government’s Department of Environment agreed to keep the matter out of court under Commonwealth laws in exchange for council improving its environ-

mental planning and rehabilitating the rare grassland. The department found that City of Greater Geelong destroyed almost one hectare of nationallyprotected Victorian Volcanic Plains between December last year and April. Federal environment spokesperson Rose Webb said council work to build the recycled water pipeline

for Lara’s Elcho Park on Bacchus Marsh Road led to the removal of the endangered native grasslands. The city must pay for a $67,000 review of its work processes and environment planning programs to “avoid a repeat of this situation”, she said. The City had to spend a further $44,000 on rehabilitating the damaged area and give $20,000 to

a Grassy Groundcover Research Project. Ms Webb said the grassland damage was “regrettable” but the payments were a better outcome than going to court. Under national environment law, Federal Government and a company or agency that has breached laws can agree to a written undertaking to avoid court action.

City services general manager Gary Van Driel defended council. The City commissioned work at the site after securing local and state approval but not a federal permit, he said. “We acknowledge we should have secured the appropriate permit before doing work on this project and will willingly undertake the actions prescribed by the Federal

Department of Environment.” Mr Van Driel said the City’s remedial works on rehabilitating the site would include revegetation, monitoring and weed control. The City would also prepare a “native vegetation offset management plan”. “The City has done a great deal of work on environmental projects in recent years and takes its responsibilities as an environmental manager very seriously,” he said.

BY ERIN PEARSON SCHOOLIES are prime suspects in the theft and destruction of $5000 worth of decorations on a public Christmas tree at Torquay, according to a community representative. Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association president Martin Duke said the lights were up “barely” 12 hours before they were torn down and their solar power panels “smashed”. Mr Duke said he had seen

“quite a lot” of school leavers celebrating under the pine tree on The Esplanade earlier in the night. “This is the first year Torquay’s had any Christmas lights in the town so we’re devastated to see this happen,” he said. “I came past Sunday afternoon and noticed all the wires were hanging down and solar panels broken. We believe it may have been some schoolies who got up there after 2am.” Mr Duke and two friends spent six hours installing 5000

metres of cabled lights on the 50metre Norfolk pine last Saturday. “My 11-year-old daughter was in tears when she heard what happened because she was with us when we were putting the lights up,” he said. “We won’t be putting the lights up next year, if they go up at all, when schoolies are here.” Mr Duke said Torquay traders and the town’s Lions and Rotary clubs paid for the lights.

BY ERIN PEARSON AN AUDIT of Geelong Hospital’s surgery waiting lists will fix “inaccuracies” while putting patients in theatre faster, according to Victoria’s new Health Minister. David Davis, a frequent critic of the standard of the region’s public health care while in opposition, said cutting unnecessarily “lengthy” waiting times for surgery was his first priority for Geelong. Mr Davis said the Brumby Government let waiting lists grow to “unacceptable” levels. “Further details regarding the health service audit will be announced soon to help us understand the true waiting lists. There have been clear examples of waiting list manipulation. “Outpatient auditing will also be commenced, as it was previously excluded, so we can release details of waiting times and waiting lists all around.” Mr Davis visited Geelong this week to meet officials at Barwon Health and Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus where the Coalition State Government plans to build a new public hospital. Barwon Health’s annual report showed 2070 patients were waiting on elective surgery lists, while 70 had waited in the emer-

gency department longer than 24 hours. Mr Davis used his visit to announce additional funding for the Waurn Ponds hospital. He said $9 million from a former Brumby Government plan to buy land for a new hospital at Armstrong Creek would now go toward the Waurn Ponds project if negotiations with Deakin were “successful”. The public hospital would join a proposed private Epworth facili-

ty and Deakin’s medical school at Waurn Ponds to form a new health “cluster” in Geelong. “We are keen to see a community hospital located as part of that cluster,” Mr Davis said. “We’ve met the medical school and university officials in preliminary meetings to talk about a community hospital and the role it might play. “We are very keen to see that progress.”

The City of Greater Geelong, VicRoads and Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management are implementing these changes to help improve safety during the busy holiday season, as there will be more pedestrian and vehicle activity on these roads. A safer road environment for pedestrians and other road users will result from these speed changes. Drivers are urged to comply with the speed limits, which will be enforced.

CELEBRATE THE FESTIVE SEASON IN CENTRAL GEELONG, THERE ARE PLENTY OF GREAT THINGS TO DO AND SEE…

“distressed or broken” families. The organisers expected between 1000 and 1500 bikies to ride from central Geelong to Portarlington and on to Queenscliff this Sunday. “It’s not just Harleys,” Mr Burnett said. “We get people turning up on scooters, Vespas, BMWs and anything with two wheels and an engine. “A couple of years ago we had a guy turn up on a postie’s scooter with a nitrox bottle strapped on the side of it.” Mr Burnett said Queenscliff’s Cottage by the Sea, Bethany family services and Geelong Hospital children’s ward would distribute cash donations, non-perishable food and toys collected during the ride. The ride leaves Geelong’s Mercer Street at 10.30am.

But slap an elf outfit on the bikie and he turns into a regular Kris Kringle. Another motorcycle enthusiast full of Christmas spirit is Geelong Toy Run convenor Jason Burnett. He said the men usually associated with bikes, beer and babes turned into softies at least once a year for the event to brighten Christmas for disadvantaged children. “We have got a number of people in the club who, when you look at them, you’d say ‘Oh my God, I wouldn’t want to meet this guy down a back alley’,” Mr Burnett said. “But you see them turn up on the day and they have a great,

Revealing the seamy side of sport NO ONE knows corruption better in the so-called beautiful game than Highton’s Neil Humphreys. For close to a decade the former-newspaper-reporter-turnedauthor spent most weeks in a courtroom jotting down bribery claims in Singapore’s latest football scandal. So when thousands of soccer fans winced last week at the world governing body’s decision to award Qatar the 2022 World Cup over Australia amid FIFA members taking cash for votes, Neil joined the legions in shaking his head. “I thought Australia would win,” he admits, “I just couldn’t see how they couldn’t. “All the cynicism everyone has – in and outside the game – toward FIFA has been vindicated.” There was no parochialism in the Cockney accent of Neil, who is still as much East End as his beloved West Ham United. That famous English club fea-

Local Legends ANDREW MATHIESON tured in his international best-seller about a fictitious player failing to make the cut at the Hammers then struggling at Melbourne Victory before finding success in Singapore where he is caught up in the expatriate party scene. A few chats over coffee with his publisher about covering the stream of players on trial for throwing S-league games was the impetus behind Neil’s latest book, Match Fixer. But some found the lines of Singapore’s seedy underground were blurred between reality and fiction. “It was kind of like gangsters in

Insider: Neil Humphreys with his latest controversial novel. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 57657 Goodfellas or The Godfather – they (the Singapore match fixers) loved it because it’s not about anyone specifically,” Neil laughs. “Who I did upset was ESPN because I made fun of these

washed-up expat pundits and they end up slagging off all these players who were 10 times better than they ever were. “And the government was furious with me because Singapore is

supposed to be safe, clean and polished.” If Match Fixer angered a few on the island nation, Neil is preparing for worse from English fans with his next attempt. The book’s inspiration was a sex scandal involving thenEnglish captain John Terry and the girlfriend of former Chelsea club teammate Wayne Bridge. “It’s going to be controversial and the darkest book so far when I talk about the state of the English Premier League and all the corruption, the sleaziness, the shagging each other’s wives, the multi-millionaires and treating their fans like s..t,” Neil predicts. Unlike some of his characters, bundles of cash are not floating around Neil’s world. But his pay-offs have been junkets to interview Harrison Ford, Nicholas Cage, Oasis, even a world exclusive one-on-one with David Beckham. “I always say I have taken pay

cuts every job I’ve had since I was 21,” Neil remarks. “When I first graduated I got a temp job working for a stockbrokers in the UK just to save money to travel and it’s still the highest I’ve ever been paid.” Far removed from the glitz and glamour of his subjects, 36-year-old never takes himself too seriously. He even labels his book Be My Baby as little more than a “selfdeprecating piss-take of my uselessness”. Less than five years since choosing Australia’s sun-drenched beaches over returning to London’s working-class slums, he was quick to write about his journey to fatherhood in a new land. “I don’t know how to do anything else – I can’t stop writing,” Neil says. “I sleep with a notepad near my bed because, even though it’s an old cliche, just when I’m half awake, half asleep, is sometimes when I get the best ideas.”

letters Bridge inquiry call

for pedestrians and cyclists and traffic management costs for a year. The expense relating to the items above could have been better deployed building a high-quality, high-level bridge across the river at Geelong Road or elsewhere. Now, with Barwon Heads booming and Ocean Grove and Armstrong Creek designated growth centres, we face a 44-tonne-rated highway right through the centre of Barwon Heads. Pedestrians, watch out! Given the way he disregarded local opinion and failed to provide good advice to his parliamentary colleagues, it seems entirely appropriate that former MP Michael Crutchfield lost his seat. Maybe an inquiry into the process by which the location was chosen would be appropriate. David Freeman Barwon Heads

THERE is no doubt that a new highway traffic bridge was required at Barwon Heads. The fate of the old bridge was sealed in the late 1960s when it was overlaid with a wearing course of concrete. Prior to about 2000 it was a common understanding in Barwon Heads that when a new highway bridge was built it would be located at Geelong Road. The reasons given by the State Governmentappointed panel that inquired into the appropriate location for the new bridge at Bridge Road were spurious. We do not know the all-inclusive cost for the new bridge and its associated roadworks but not less than $20 million has been misspent. This low-side estimate is made up of items such as the second bridge

Backing Burnett

Taxed for nothing

I HAVE been part of Peter Burnett’s activities since he arrived in Geelong more than 30 years ago. I endorse his nomination for election as a director of Geelong Football Club. I have been a mayor and councillor of Geelong, a member of Geelong Football Club since 1977 and am a patron of the club’s past players. I was actively involved in Victorian Amateur Football Association as vice-president and an executive member and was president of Geelong Amateur Football Club when it was still in Victorian Amateur Football Association. My involvement with Peter extended to his support of Royal Women’s Hospital Foundation for which I was a regional director from 1998 to 2005. Peter’s 10-year presidency of Geelong Football Club coterie group The Pivots, in addition to his previous term as a director, has been an exemplary contribution. I recall many of his outstanding initiatives. He used to lift the profile of the club in the community, particularly during my term as mayor. Peter has always been a strong supporter of the VFL and AFL to ensure Geelong people have the opportunity to support players beyond Kardinia Park. For many years he arranged fleets of buses and organised supporters. Peter’s support of the player group goes beyond premierships and compares to what used to be titled the players’ representative on the committee. Most importantly, he is a resident of Geelong. His business has been outstanding and is of elite standard, while his leadership qualities are beyond question. Jim Fidge Newtown

ROB WALLIS is dreaming if he thinks there is a slush fund that funds climate sceptics (Letters, December 3). I’m sorry to have to tell him that the big end of town is pushing the global warming line, including Santos, BHP and Shell among others. Drawing inferences to the tobacco industry is pure humbug. That’s precisely the trouble with the climate debate; instead of having a rational discussion about the real causes of climate change, proponents of global warming theory resort to Machiavellian tactics to divert attention away from the paucity of their arguments. It must be born in mind Canada and the US have rejected a price on carbon, so why is the Gillard Government in such a desperate hurry to put a big new carbon tax on everything? Such a tax would send electricity prices through the roof, make the cost of living so much dearer, render our economy uncompetitive and all for what? For nothing! Even if every Australian went and lived like the Amish in Pennsylvania tomorrow and we closed down all our industries it would make absolutely no difference to climate change. This begs the question why on Earth should we shoot ourselves in the foot? It doesn’t make sense. Before Australian does anything on climate change, a Royal Commission should be established to objectively ascertain the real drivers of climate change and whether the alleged problem is as serious as we are asked to believe. Alan Barron Grovedale

Built to fail

Damn toilet water

GEORGE Westinghouse invented compressed air brakes for trains in 1872. These were fail-safe because when the hose disconnected the brakes came on and stopped the carriages. Barwon Water’s Northern Water Plant is not like this. When it fails, a large volume, including untreated toxic waste, will have to be dumped into sewers. This will take several days, especially in wet weather. However, the works application does not explain this, so the EPA has approved the plant. This design fault, in a plant costing $90 million, was stated to Victorian Civil and Administrative Trinbunal last month but, as Barwon Water’s Paul Northey has said, all this is confusing and of no interest to the law and lawyers at 55 King Street, Melbourne. Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

A RECENT news item stated we should consider drinking recycled sewerage water. Fair enough to use it for toilets, gardens, sportsgrounds, industry etcetera but to drink it? No way! Compare this to harvesting and storage of the clean water from the Otways, almost all of which goes to sea. I urge all to make a noise and get in touch with their local MPs to do the right thing, get the ball rolling and create more water storages in the Otways. Damn the dark greens with their Labor bed-mates who have a no-dams policy. They can drink as much sewerage water as they like. Cliff Winkler Torquay

WHY HASNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T North Geelong Railway Stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader car park been acquired and developed? North Geelong represents the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last hope to develop a serious rail commuter hub given the chockers-car-parks chaos at Geelong and South Geelong. While Marshall appears to retain undeveloped options, the likelihood of additional rail services, faster trains and more of the workforce commuting to better-paid jobs and allied career opportunities means that North Geelong represents the only central option to cope with the demand. Is this another ALP safe-seat oversight? What or who precisely does MP John Eren represent and what has he sourced? Perhaps the coalition, now with the opportunity to give their local candidate a bunk-up next time around, might show some vision on restoring some balance, funding and redress to serious north-of-theriver Geelong issues Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Speakers used planner words and there was a reluctance to permit a public question-and-answer session. Open space would be reduced to 10 per cent, housing density would be as high as 30 dwellings to the hectare and there would be no height restrictions, which could mean tower blocks. Two P-9 schools would be in the southern part and a 10-12 secondary school within the main activity centre. North-side students would have to cross the railway line to attend Grovedale College or Grovedale West Primary School. Only after community representation was the closing date extended from December 15 to January 22.

Padman set to ‘do it for girls’ BY ERIN PEARSON WORKING “nine days a week” in his record and promotions company while brushing shoulders with the DJ world’s elite is a labour of love for Lorne Padman. “I’ve been drowning under a great wave of exciting things,” Padman told the Independent ahead of his Geelong show next week. “I run Vicious Recordings and that probably feels like 90 per cent of life but I’m also with some really great international artists like Ian Carey and Static Revenge, local guys Vandalism and The Potbelleez.” Padman started his DJ career in Perth before taking the next step to Melbourne. “I got a call from a university friend on my 28th birthday and he said to me ‘Listen, you’ve been DJing every weekend and wearing a suit during the day, why don’t you go to Melbourne and if you

haven’t excelled by your 30th birthday go back to the whitepicket-fence-three-kids-and-adog lifestyle,’ ” he said. “I celebrated my 30th birthday with (DJs) Andy Van, John Course and Dirty South on decks of my rooftop. Now I’m the national promotions and label manager for Vicious.” Padman said he enjoyed helping dance music evolve into prime-time radio gold. “It’s such a privilege. It feels like a mini ego trip because in a lot of ways I feel like I’m one of these key influences in what music should work,” he said. “For example, I was in Morocco and I found a song call Get Shaky by Ian Carey. I signed it there and chopped it up and made it a radio edit - it went crazy.” With Australian numberthree tennis ace and gold medallist Anastasia Rodionova on his arm, Padman said he still had to “shake” himself about the celebrity circles in which he mixed.

Excited: DJ Lorne Padman performs in Geelong next week.

“I was with Anastasia in Paris and ended up on a table having dinner with (DJ) Bob Sinclair. There at the table was a tennis superstar, a DJ god and a guy from Perth.” Padman, who dabbled in mechanical engineering, marketing and financial planning before moving to Melbourne, is now mixing tunes for names like Tiesto and gracing stages in Europe, New Zealand and Russia. But he declared that he only ever played for girls. “I noted at the age of 18 that guys will dance to anything girls will dance to, so now I do what the girls want to listen to,” he laughed. “Geelong can expect something very exciting with lots of energy and big dance-floor movers.” Padman will be at Home House with his Vicious Cuts Volume Four tour on December 11.

Finally Friday

Rock on at Batesford old beer, warm smiles and mouth-watering food keep patrons coming back for more at Batesford’s Dog Rocks Hotel. Nestled on the lush green banks of the Moorabool River just 10 minutes drive from Geelong, the hotel has maintained its old-school country atmosphere as well as its old-fashioned country prices. Diners are invited to try the hotel’s famous Kilogram Rocking Rump or to indulge in one of its seasonal summer specials, all prepared in-house from fresh, local ingredients. Patrons should always make sure they leave room for desserts because the Dog Rocks’ chefs prepare delicious old-style treats like apple strudel and sticky date pudding as well as a range of amazing creations such as chocolate parma and chocolate fortune cookies with house-made strawberry and black pepper ice cream. Anyone planning a wedding or birthday should inspect the hotel’s beautiful and spacious function room. Patrons can meet the friendly staff from midday onward on January 15 while enjoying the Dog Rocks’ Day on the Deck with promotions, three bands playing until late, a jumping castle for the children and a chance to win a retro Canadian Club bike. Bookings are available by phoning Dog Rocks Hotel on 5276 1201.

Festival Goes for radio star

505166-MD49-10

BY ERIN PEARSON ORGANISERS have re-appointed Melbourne radio personality and internet-accredited marriage celebrant Jon Von Goes as patron of Apollo Bay Music Festival. The zany musician was unveiled as one of the faces of the event as organisers revealed the first group of acts set to star in April. The music talent includes New Orleans Jazz legend Charles Neville, The Backsliders, Georgia Fields and her Pocket Sized Orchestra, Shane Howard and comedy duo Scared Weird Little Guys. Von Goes promised the festival would be a “hit”. While still “unsure” what his patron’s role entailed, Von Goes said he enjoyed carrying out the job at the last festival. “Last year I got to sit in the back of a convertible Valiant in the parade, so I got my slow wave down pat,” he laughed. “I was also compared to Willy Wonker by a child on the side of the road. “I wasn’t handing out chocolate but I guess it was a compliment.” Von Goes said he was “delighted” to return to “spruik” the musical talent destined for Apollo Bay. “Apollo Bay gets this incredibly appreciative audience, a good mix of local and city folk,” he said. Von Goes said the festival genres were “split down the middle”. “What illustrates this really well next year is we have Charles Jenkins and the Zhivagos whose new record is one of the best you’ll ever hear,” he said. “Then there are kid’s bands, also. Charles’ kid Henry, from the Cactus Channel, sounds just like James Browns backing band and will also blow people away. It’s a really nice illustration of the breadth of talent.” The entertainer said Apollo Bay attracted the best in local, country-wide and international talent. “You get some of the unappreciated amazing

Wonker: Jon Von Goes has signed up to promote and perform for April’s Apollo Bay Music Festival. bands from the city, put them down somewhere like Apollo Bay and they just go off,” he said. “You’re so close you can see the whites of their eyes.” Von Goes said the most memorable part of Apollo Bay 2010 was the soft folk acoustic and jazz, the rock bands in pubs and a monk ritual in a church at 9am. Van Goes will also be a performer at the next festival as part of his rock-pop band, JVG Guitar Method. He promised a performance that would “swing, throb, purr and shake”. “I’ll also brining my 20-metre microphone lead so no one can escape.” Apollo Bay Music Festival will run April 8 to 10.

airhouse Warehouse Waurn Ponds is the place for all hair care products and top professional advice. Waurn Ponds franchise owner Bernadette Monahan says the Hairhouse Warehouse store has been operating for three years to service a growing area. “We’re local to Geelong, so we could see there was a need for our business out here rather than customers having to go into town,” she says. Hairhouse Warehouse stocks and supplies all major products from shampoos, conditioners and other hair treatments to a full range of electricals including straightening irons and blow dryers. Hairhouse Warehouse also provides a full salon service with haircuts, perms, colours and foils. Bernadette says delivering on the motto ‘Beautiful hair every day’ is easy at Hairhouse Warehouse. “I basically got into (Hairhouse Warehouse) so I could recommend the best products for our clients,” she says. “It wasn’t just limited to one or two brands.

For hot Christmas presents, iPads, iPods & more

Hairhouse Warehouse is easy to find and access at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. “I’ve always had salons but you are pretty limited for what you could offer. “I really like the concept of being able to offer the best for a particular person’s hair and their needs that they might have.” With more than 25 years in hairdressing, Bernadette leads a team of fully-qualified stylists and “fantastic” apprentices. “All the girls who work here

are hairdressers, so they know their products, they know what’s best for their clients, not just randomly picking them off the shelves,” she says. Hairhouse Warehouse Waurn Ponds is easy to access at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre with free parking. Customers can book in early for a festive season hairdressing appointment on 5241 3055.

Team effort at centre helps cancer council ancer Council’s Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser.It’s an opportunity for community members to get together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and to fight back against a disease that takes too much from families around Australia. The relay is the largest fundraising event in support of Cancer Council to reduce the impact of the disease on communities. Barb Ward has been heading Geelong’s Relay for Life team for the past 11 years, helping raise over $2.8 million in vital funds for the Cancer Council. “We started the Geelong Relay For Life team in memory of my dad who lost his battle with cancer 10 years ago,” Barb says. “Nearly everyone we know has been touched by this disease and it’s incredibly liberating to know we can make a difference. Every five minutes, another Australian is diagnosed with cancer. “While survival rates are improving every day, cancer remains a leading cause of death. That’s why it’s so important that we raise funds to fight it. “Every dollar we raise from gift wrapping this Christmas at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre will contribute to fundraising for the main Relay for Life event next March.” Relay for Life funds help the Cancer Council to investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers, educate communities about ways they can reduce risks, advocate for cancer control and to support people during their times of greatest need. More information about Relay For Life is available at its gift-wrap station outside Target Waurn Ponds, by phoning Cancer Council Victoria on 9635 5000 or visiting www.relayforlife.org.au.

Gift ideas for any family members are in abundance at Waurn Ponds.

Cheapest Waterfront Homes in Australia A

n absolute waterfront village on the Bellarine Peninsula situated only 9km from the heart of Geelong is offering possibly the cheapest waterfront homes in Australia! Selling from just $130,000, Pelican Shores Estate, a secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged, not only offers a range of new homes but has newly available home sites that are situated a stone’s throw from the water’s edge. If you can picture yourself relaxing on the deck of your brandnew home enjoying the beautiful waters of Corio Bay, being the envy of all your friends, then Pelican Shores Estate could be the place for you. Like many baby boomers heading towards retirement, you may be at the stage where you are starting to consider your future lifestyle. This is a major life decision and, after considering all the options available, more and more baby boomers are making the move into over-50s lifestyle villages like Pelican Shores Estate. At Pelican Shores you can enjoy an amazing waterfront location, downsize to hassle-free living and become part of a vibrant, active and like-minded community. You may also be able to free up extra cash to spend on the more enjoyable things in life like travel. Another big attraction of this lifestyle option is the variety of designs and styles of manufactured homes from which to choose. Where established

retirement villages often have homes that are already built and the buyer has no real opportunity to customise the design, a Pelican Shores Estate home is built in a quality controlled factory and can be easily personalised to reflect your individual tastes and needs. That means you can specify exactly what you want in your new home. An important feature for many new residents at Pelican Shores Estate is that their manufactured home and residential site has been designed to require the minimum of maintenance, leaving you free to enjoy the wonderful waterfront lifestyle on offer.

you can lock up your home, hook up the caravan

We asked Andrew Hoffman of Hampshire Property Group, which is a supplier of manufactured homes to resorts in NSW and Victoria, why anyone would buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village rather than a place in a retirement village. “That’s easy,” he answered. “When you buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village there are minimal additional costs involved and the home design can be tailored to your specific needs. You may also be eligible for Commonwealth financial assistance and it makes better financial sense because you can avoid the additional cost of deferred management fees. In fact, the better question to ask would be, ‘Why buy in a retirement village?’”

Time short for super benefits BY GREG CRAWFORD, MAP FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS ith half of the financial year almost gone, time is running out to make the most of the tax benefits available via super. The good news if you’re expecting a work bonus is that you may be able to reduce your 2010/2011 financial year tax bill and keep more of your hardearned money for yourself. Under the existing super system, the amount that can be tax-

• Investments • Superannuation • Retirement Advice • Personal Insurances • Estate Planning

effectively contributed into a super fund – for example Super Guarantee contributions your employer pays and salary sacrifice contributions – is limited to $50,000 a year for those aged 50 and over and $25,000 a year for those under 50. This system works on a use-itor-lose-it basis, meaning that if you don’t make the most of your annual limit you lose the opportunity to reduce your tax bill and increase your retirement savings via concessional super contribu-

tions for that year. So the old adage of make hay while the sun shines is especially relevant to employees who are expecting to receive a bonus in 2011 because in many cases employers will provide their employees with an opportunity to salary-sacrifice bonuses before tax into their super. It is important to note there are significant tax implications if contributions limits are exceeded. For more information contact MAP Financial Solutions on 5229 0200.

amount of torque to front and rear varies according to driving conditions. Combined with sophisticated electronic dynamics to assist the suspension the Cayenne is amazingly sure footed on the road. The feel and grip of the tyres, is impressive, but also with the way the vehicle reacted to changes to the steering and throttle control. It has a sharper feel than the previous model, and though not really sedan like in the way it behaves, comes pretty close to it. The latest development is a petrol/electric hybrid version that uses a 3.0-litre 333 horsepower, 245 kW, supercharged V6 petrol engine and an electric motor. Porsche Cayenne is an impressive piece of automotive engineering from a company that builds nothing but sports vehicles. It is significantly better than the previous edition and seems sure of racking up sales success. The complete Porsche Cayenne starts at $103,500.

A major advantage of all the changes, particularly doing away with the low-range transfer case is that weight has been decreased by around 12 per cent. Power comes from a variety of sources: thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 400 horsepower 4.8-litre V8 engine; the same engine with a turbocharger to increase its output to 500 horsepower; a 3.6-litre petrol V6 with 300 horsepower; a turbo-diesel V6 with a capacity of 3.0 litres that produces 240 horsepower. Though these engines are based on the powerplants seen in the first-generation Porsche Cayenne, they have had so many changes they can be regarded as all-new. Clever engineering has not only raised power and fattened out the torque, but also reduced the fuel consumption and emissions. In fact, fuel savings are as much as 23 per cent. Drive is constant to all four wheels by way of an eight-speed automatic transmission. The

BY ERIC BLAIR here was no way that Porsche was going to create â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just another 4WDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when it produced its Cayenne off-roader back in 2003. When the German designers sat down around the conference table for the very first time, the decision was unanimous, Cayenne had to be a sports machine like every other offering from this legendary German marque. Seven years on Porsche has evolved significantly from that original model. While the 2010 Cayenne does retain many of the styling elements from the first generation, it now looks less like a pumped up Porsche 911 and more like a vehicle in its own right. Inside, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a completely new styling theme that carries strong cues to the Porsche Panamera sports saloon. This is particularly noticeable in the centre console with its array of buttons that carry out many of the commonly used adjustments. The 2010 Porsche Cayenne is larger than the old, particularly in the back seat which now provides comfortable space for two adults. The backrest can be adjusted for rake to further let you tailor your space. The biggest change of all is that the Porsche Cayenne no longer tries to be a full-on off-road vehicle and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a two-speed transfer case to provide low range for extreme driving. Like others in the class, such as Mercedes MClass and BMW X5, the Cayenne is now an on-road wagon with some ability to tackle gentle offroad excursions.

Dents R Us takes the hassle out of repairing minor damage when paint is not chipped or cracked.

Dents R Us to stay on call during festive holiday break aintless dent repair service Dents R Us will be on call over the Christmas break for all those festive season bumps and knocks. Owner Scott says the mobile car service can attend customers’ workplaces or homes to quickly repair damage ranging from shopping trolley dents to hail damage nicks. “We come to you and do the job on the spot, so people aren’t without their car for days on end,” Scott says. “Following a quick quote we can have a customer’s car fixed in no time at all.” Dents R Us has been operating in Geelong for seven months. Fully trained, Scott says the service is environmentally friendly because no sanding or filling is required. Paintless dent repair is a cost-effective way of repairing dents in motor vehicles where paint has not been chipped or cracked. The process uses specialised tools to massage the dent from behind until it’s gone. Scott says it leaves vehicles with a factory finish and without the problem of mismatched paintwork or obvious repair marks. Paintless dent removal is also faster than conventional body shop methods, so it can be completed on the same day to save vehicle owners time and money. Dents R Us is insurance company-approved and covered by a satisfaction guarantee. Customers can call Scott on 0437 120 013 for more information.

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.

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Supercats will head back to the drawing board to recruit a second American import after re-contracting talks fell through with championship player Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nathan Bullock. Team general manager David Hoey said Bullock had parted ways with the Supercats despite helping the team to its South East Australian Basketball League season victory last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nate is out so what we do now is look at our current roster with our available local talent then decide on an import who would best fit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will look at a number of potentials.

Muhammad failed to score a spot with NBA line-up Charlotte in September after dominating the SEABL 2010 season.

Red dawn: Damjan Jeremic with one of his snapper from Point Richards, which won this week’s $350 Shimano soft plastics outfit for picture of the week.

Frenzy of 20/20 days faces Cats

SNAPPER have been the talk of the town over the past week, with most anglers finding success on this species. Last Friday after the torrential downpour many anglers had great success in Corio Bay’se outer-harbour, with the area from Point Richards back to the nine-foot bank returning fish to 8kg. Damjan Jeremic and mate Jesse landed 18 snapper to 4kg at Pt Richards after the storms. Fishing in nine metres of water, the boys started catching fish as soon as the first bait hit the bottom. A followup session the day after resulted in yet another eight fish to 3kg. David Watson had a day out, landing four fantastic snapper to 82cm along with a small gummy and numerous eagle rays on squid baits. Don Welsh fished Monday morning off the quarries where rays were a problem until the sun rose, which was when snapper came right on the bite. The biggest of Don’s nine fish was 5.2kg, with fresh squid heads doing the trick. Sam Wilkinson tries trolling bibbed lures for snapper with some scepticism, having never done so before. He is now converted to this new method after landing seven snapper, the best 5.9kg. Sam took all his fish on 11cm Tail Dancers and Koolie Minnows. He wouldn’t divulge his exact location except to say Clifton Springs was close. Soft plastics enthusiast Xavier Knowles fished from his hobie kayak, casting along Alcoa Pier where he found any number of salmon while also catching a dozen snotty trevalla and two pinkies of 48cm. Anglers should keep an eye on Cunningham Pier with the snotty trevalla

On the bite BRIAN LONG starting to show. Early morning has been best, with chicken marinated in fish oil the bait of choice. Matthew Alsop used soft plastics on Geelong’s waterfront to land a snapper of 48cm, which took a Turtleback worm. Terry James found flathead willing to hit a well-resented soft plastic while fishing North Shore rocks in the past two weeks while also losing plenty of lures to toothy pike that patrol this productive location. Anglers have been asked to note the closure of the Rippleside Pier due to consistent vandal attacks on the adjoining building. Hopefully down the track this fantastic structure will again become available. Joel Leadings found plenty of salmon available from within the grammar school lagoon. Fishing the sandbar at low tide, he caught more than 20 fish to 900g on Gulp Pogy soft plastics. Gordon Lowey anchored up at Swan Bay’s entrance where he started a berley trail. He didn’t have to wait long to catch his bag-limit of squid before moving on to the flathead, landing three beauties over 60cm. Paul Holt fished Swan Bay’s jetty after dark, catching four gummy sharks to just

on a metre. Cured eel was the bait, with all fish taken in one hour on the change of tide. Freddy Chee landed seven trevally to just over 1kg in Queenscliff’s cut along with two rock flathead and a huge leatherjacket, all on soft plastics. Salmon have been taken from local surf beaches, including a 70cm ripper by Rodney Hose at Jan Juc. Noel Heath took similar size fish from Eastern View after dark on lure. Collendina Beach has produced quality snapper to 3kg along with gummy sharks to 5kg after dark on fresh squid. Whiting anglers are finding fish on most of the inshore grass beds, with Grassy Point, Coles Beacon and St Leonards productive. In freshwater, Wurdee Boluc Reservoir has produced trout to 1.5kg and some standout redfin pushing 1kg on both bait and lure. McLeods water hole at Drysdale has kept kids busy with some huge carp pushing 10kg. Jason Adams took four-year-old son Tate for a fish on Geelong’s waterfront when the youngster began complaining of difficulty retrieving his line. It wasn’t until the rod bucked a few times that Jason realised a fish was hooked and a 45cm flathead was retrieved. I have recently received emails asking me to recommend locations for junior anglers to wet a line over summer holidays. Stay tuned in coming weeks for some tips.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE plete day one and did so with a minimum of fuss. It will resume tomorrow confident of victory but Brendan Sleeman and Anthony Foord might have something to say about that if the wicket offers any support. Division two has the makings of a round of upsets, with Waurn Ponds on 249 against Mugheboluc, Newcomb and District at 204 versus Torquay and Marshall posting 241 against Highton. At the other end of the scale, St Albans Breakwater and Guild St Mary’s have both claimed first innings points already against North Shore and Alexander Thomson respectively. A couple of outright results there would really shake things up. Perhaps the game most in the balance, though, is the Geelong City and St Peters clash. As expected, two of the better sides in the division battled it out, with St Peters rolling City for just 136 thanks to four wickets to Steve Illingworth. The Sharks struck back though, reducing St Peters to 2/28 at stumps, so tomorrow should be a cracking match. Modewarre has the upper-hand in its grand final rematch with Teesdale, dismissing the host for just 115. All five bowlers took wickets but Aaron Hovey was the pick of them with 3/29 from an economical 21 overs. Teesdale struck back when Alister Woods took an early wicket but Modewarre steadied to complete day one in a dominant position at 1/36 and should win.

Talk about snapper storming outer-harbour

GEELONG Cricket Club climbed back onto the winners list with a solid victory over Richmond last weekend. The most pleasing aspect for coach Damian Shanahan would have been that some of the lesser lights were able to stand up and perform when some of the more-established stars faltered. Hayden Butterworth and Justin Fos both scored their maiden half-centuries in the top grade to help Geelong to a solid total of 313. On Sunday Marc Carson and Trent Walerys tore the heart out of the Richmond top order, taking two early wickets apiece. Jeremy Hart and Foss also took two wickets each and, despite some late resistance, the Cats ran out easy victors by 70 runs. The premier cricket league now moves into a phase of twenty20 matches, with three games in the next eight days. In what will be a frenetic week, if the Cats can win all three they’ll go into Christmas very well placed. In Geelong Cricket Association, Bell Post Hill finally took to the field for its season opener against East Belmont at Winter Reserve. The Panthers went in without two of their more-experienced players in Brad Stacey and Travis Faulkhead but, with plenty of talent still in the line up, when Tim Sells won the toss and batted he would have hoped for a competitive score. Despite losing three early wickets to Sean Bogan and Matt Caulfield at 3/100 and Simon Anderson and Alex Cairns looking dangerous, Bell Post Hill was right in the match. Part-time bowler Andrew Baars was brought on and dismissed Cairns for 27 thanks to a smart catch by James Diery. From there Sam Scannell bowled accurately to claim four wickets and wrap up the innings for just 149. East had to face nine overs to com-
