Internship winners set to experience stages of success Panel review BY ERIN PEARSON TWO ASPIRING Geelong event mangers will rub shoulders with the industry’s elite after winning yearlong internships. Kelly McDonnell, 22 and Erin Marshall, 21, heard the exciting news this week after an anxious three-month wait. Ms Marshall was “so excited” to win after many close friends missed out on internships. “I’m really hoping to get as much out of it as I can and work my way toward employment in an agency like Frontier Touring,” she said. “Mum’s pretty impressed with the news, too.” Ms Marshall said she applied for the program after seeing the success her boss had from participating. Working with rock stars and musicians in the event management industry was a long-held dream, she said. “I’ve never been good at playing an instrument and I’m a bad singer so being able to help the people who do it well is great - it makes me feel quite proud.” Ms Marshall said she now faced the difficult choice of nominating an industry idol to work alongside. “There are so many to choose from,” she said. Ms Marshall and Ms O’Donnell received their internships as part of a Geelong FreeZaCentral progam to launch careers in the music industry.

BY KIM WATERS STATE Government will appoint an advisory panel next week to review a controversial Geelong bypass link to Surf Coast Highway, Planning Minister Matthew Guy has announced. He said the panel would seek submissions but would not review the 4C link’s “entire” consultation process under the former Brumby Government. “We’ve been through that and we don’t need to go through it again. The community doesn’t want that, they just want some certainty for a decision. “They’ll get a chance to put forward submissions to the independent panel.” The Liberals pledged to review the 4C route in the lead up to November’s state election. Grovedale residents have slammed the route, fearing damage to property values from traffic and noise. Mr Guy said his meeting with Grovedale residents on Wednesday was “terrific and productive”. “The advisory panel will speak to stakeholders like community members, council and VicRoads and ask for submissions. The panel will advise on the best route, whether Mount Duneed, Boundary Road or the existing route.” South Grovedale Community Action Group’s Margarita Kumnik said residents were “pleased”. “Matthew has promised that this will be an open process,” she said. “He told us that he needed to collect all the facts from this panel because he can’t just step in a move the road’s location. He also indicated the situation would be resolved very promptly.”

“It’s not a retirement village but a lifestyle village and we’re very clear about that,” he said. “A third of the people who work in our other nine villages have jobs and have chosen to downsize and have a different lifestyle. “The fact that it’s a gated community is up there with affordability as the reason why people chose

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Police have called for vigilance among shop owners after six armed robberies in the past fortnight. Detective Sergeant Gary Arnold said police believed some of the robberies â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be relatedâ&#x20AC;?. Police were yet to make arrests when the Independent went to print on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investigations are continuing and we still want to hear from anyone who may have any information regarding any of the six robberies,â&#x20AC;? Det Sgt Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police are asking all business open late at night to be vigilant at all times.â&#x20AC;? Det Sgt Arnold said police believed the same gunman was responsible for three of the six armed hold-ups.

Caught on camera: The Neewcomb robbery.

Eleven was hit at 1.40am before a raid on a Manifold Heights service station on January 12. A man threatened staff with a firearm and fled on foot with cash in each robbery. Police said the offender was 182cm tall and wearing gloves, a back mask, a grey hoodie and a cap. Det Sgt Arnold said police were also hunting two men who robbed a Belmont milk bar last week and another two who held up a Douro Street business with a knife the week before. An armed bandit also made headlines on Tuesday when the Bell Park convenience store was held up a second time. The robber apologised during the incident. Police said anyone with information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grand plansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY ANDREW MATHIESON SKILLED Stadium would hold 40,000 patrons by 2013 under the plans of Geelong Football Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new board. Building light towers for night matches and a push to host nine AFL home games a year was also a priority, according to former president Frank Costa. Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed World Cup soccer bid scuttled plans to boost the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to 44,000 to host matches. But Mr Costa told the Independent that replacing the Doug Wade stand and nearby temporary seating would ensure the club could accommodate members.

The ground currently holds less than 30,000 people after the first two stages of its redevelopment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to now push up for a genuine, permanent 40,000,â&#x20AC;? Mr Costa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation at the moment is that every seat is sold and our membership has been growing every year. We were over 40,000 last year and our budget is 43,000 this year but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell them a seat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not terribly satisfactory.â&#x20AC;? Mr Costa accepted a new role this week as club patron, which would include lobbying governments for stadium upgrade funding. Under initial redevelopment

plans the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity would not have exceeded 35,000 unless Geelong was to host World Cup games. Under the new plans a northern grandstand stretching from wing-to-wing will be delayed to stage four to accommodate the Wade stand development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a $75 million to $80 million development, while the Wade stand is only about $33 million,â&#x20AC;? Mr Costa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got $25 million secured from State Government, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in money ourselves, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll got some from the AFL, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to get a little bit from Federal Government.â&#x20AC;?

Three court cases for teenage girl’s stalker BY KIM WATERS A JAN Juc man who stalked a Torquay teenager is involved in two other separate cases of stalking, Geelong Magistrates Court has heard. Magistrate Ann McGarvie on Wednesday found 22-year-old Parkash Singh guilty of stalking a 13-year-old Torquay girl. Ms McGarvie convicted and fined Singh $500 for the Torquay case. The second case was in court when the Independent went to press. The third was set for a later hearing. Ms McGarvie said Singh had faced

a maximum 10 years jail for the first offence. He had “continually stared” at the victim over seven months and followed her through Torquay’s Safeway car park, she said. Ms McGarvie described Singh’s behaviour as “a serious crime with serious consequences”. “I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of stalking. I found the evidence of the victim to be honest and reliable…(she) was an extremely mature and credible witness, given her age.” Ms McGarvie said Singh stalked the

victim between February and August last year. He “continually stared” at her on a 7.45am bus they shared weekly from Torquay to Geelong. “He would lock eyes on her for about five to 10 seconds and then look away. “His behaviour made her feel uncomfortable and scared.” Singh also stared at the victim on two separate occasions in Safeway and followed her in the shop’s car park on August 7. “She quickened her pace…and heard footsteps behind her,” Ms

McGarvie said. “She said she was scared he was going to do something to her. She felt uncomfortable, unsafe and scared.” Singh denied stalking the victim, telling the court he might have looked at her but had no intention to stare or look at anyone “with bad intentions”. His lawyer had requested Ms McGarvie hand down her sentence after Singh’s other stalking cases were heard. Singh would adjust his plea of not guilty to the first offence depending on the outcome of the other cases, his lawyer said.

in brief Storages rising THE GEELONG region’s water storages have reached 77.5 per cent capacity after soaking rain last week. Barwon Water recorded almost 1.5 billion extra litres in the storages in the week to Wednesday, with the authority holding a total of 95.8 gigalitres in its dams and reservoirs.

Ablett captain AFL DEBUTANTE Gold Coast Suns has announced former Cats champion Gary Albett as its first captain. Ablett, who controversially walked out on Geelong late last year to join the Suns, will lead the team with former Adelaide Crows defender Nathan Bock as vice-captain and ex-Hawk Campbell Brown as Bock’s deputy.

Man missing POLICE are “concerned” about the disappearance of Corio 46-year-old Ismet Toprak, pictured, after he failed to arrive at work in Werribee last week. Police, who said Mr Toprak’s failure to contact his family was “extremely out of character”, called for anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to visit crimestoppers.com.au.

Stingers put bite on coast Hello, sailors: John Heer, third from left, and other members of the Deakin crew.

Deakin sets sail to leadership initiative BY ERIN PEARSON DITCHING his suit and tie for a stint in waterproof garb on the open sea was a life-changing experience, according to Deakin University’s John Heer. Mr Heer joined the university’s first sailing voyage to Tasmania to earn a study credit in leadership for his Masters of Business. The Deakin crew navigated 800 kilometres of open ocean in the sailing initiative.

Mr Heer called the trip a “nice alternative” to books and lectures. “There were quite a few people who battled sea sickness but it was well worth the trip,” he said. “The only challenge was making sure they aimed over the edge.” Mr Heer, who had never sailed before, said he learnt a lot about working under pressure. “It’s certainly something a bit different.” Deakin University’s nautical assignment put students aboard tall

ship One and All. Graduate School of Business lecturer Dr John McWilliams said the voyage gave academic teaching “a very real and practical framework”. “The aim is to provide participants with a deep understanding of their own capacity for leadership as well as reflection on the actions of leaders and followers.” Dr McWilliams said crew was trained on sailing and navigating before taking over the ship with minimal supervision.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON A SPATE of bluebottle jellyfish attacks has taken the sting out of summer fun on Surf Coast beaches, according to lifesavers. They reported an increase in beachgoers suffering stings from the sea jelly over the past month. Torquay Surf Life Saving Club captain Keith Millar said beachgoers had called on lifesavers to treat an increase number of stinging attacks. “We’ve had a few days where people have been coming up to the patrol and saying they’ve been stung,” he said. “I haven’t seen any serious cases, though.” Mr Millar said surf lifesavers had been forced to apply hot water to give victims pain relief. Contact with the tentacles of a bluebottle can trigger its venomous stinging cells to pierce the skin. Mr Millar said most attacks were occurring in “flagged” waters. “It’s not often we have problem with jellyfish in Torquay, so it’s a little bit unusual that we have quite a bit more than normal.

“Before Christmas there seemed to be a spate of them.” Mr Millar said swimmers with exposed skin were at risk. “The people who have been most affected are those without wetsuits but I’ve also had a few surfers come up with stings on their hands or feet from when they have been paddling through and they touched one.” A jellyfish expert warned that climatic changes could be behind the rise in reported cases. The Geelong region has experienced increased humidity this summer in line with heavy rain. Melbourne Aquarium head curator Paul Hamilton said jellyfish were unpredictable. “Bluebottles generally live in warm tropical and subtropical waters and are found Australiawide at differing times throughout the year,” he said. “Due to their lack of independent means of propulsion, they are tide and wind-dependent, relying on the ocean to guide them as they simply drift on the currents or attempt to catch the wind.”

MOTORISED CELEBRATION FOLDING ARM AWNINGS

Artists to emerge from the shadows BY KIM WATERS AN UNTAPPED pool of local artists will showcase nearly 400 “brilliant” works at Queenscliff’s annual art show this weekend, according to an organiser. Geelong Arts Society’s Allan Langdon said the event would put a spotlight on Geelong’s “unrecognised” artists. “The problem with Geelong residents is they don’t appreciate our huge amount of local talent,” Mr Langdon said. “Artists in the area are very much underestimated and not at all appreciated, which is such a shame. When a big name from Melbourne comes down it’s terrific and if a high-profile piece sells for $5 million it’s a big deal but everyone forgets about the local grandmother who sells amazingly good work for $550.” Mr Langdon said the standard of art at the fiveday show, starting Saturday, improved each year. Artsworks on diplay would also be available for sale, she said. Mr Langdon said the show would be in St George’s Hall, Hobson Street.

Wettest Januay in four decades

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG has recorded its highest January rainfall in four decades, according to a weatherman. Geelong Weather Services’ Lindsay Smail said 123mm had already drenched the city with a week left until the end of the month. “That level equates to approx 250 per cent more January rain than average and a recording of a quarter of our normal yearly rainfall already this year.” Mr Smail said Geelong’s wettest January on record measured 143mm in 1886.

He said January’s rain in Geelong was mostly from the same weather system that flooded Queensland, New South Wales and northern Victoria. Mr Smail warned that a second system could return to the region in “months”. “We’re not out of the woods yet. Just because we’ve seen a big flood event doesn’t mean the next one won’t be for 10 years – it could happen very shortly.” Mr Smail said Geelong “got off luckily” compared to other regions in eastern Australia. “We should take it as a wake-up

call because we have three big rivers: the Moorabool, Barwon and Leigh. If they flood all at the same time then we’ll be in trouble.” Mr Smail said Geelong’s flooding in the last week was only classified as moderate. “They classify it accordingly to the level above sea level at the McIntyre Bridge in Belmont. This time we got up to 3.6 metres above sea level. “The four biggest floods Geelong’s had over the last 160 years have all been over five metres but anything over 4.5 metres is of serious concern.”

BY ANDREW MATHIESON HIGHTON land owners have paid up to $280,000 for “premium” house blocks only to discover they could end up living next to a shopping centre, according to an objector. Vince Albanese said retail giant Woolworths had submitted plans to council for re-zoning residential land adjacent to Barrabool Hills Baptist Church for a supermarket and 11 shops. The proposed Barrabool Hills Shopping Centre had angered residents with its plans for the last stage of the development, he said. Residents feared their property values would plunge if the shopping centre won planning approval. “I reckon they’d be down $100,000 for each block straight away,” Mr Albanese said. “I think it’s completely unethical and should be against the law.” Mr Albanese, a Belmont retailer in High Street, purchased land with “magnificent views” only a block from the proposed site. Geelong’s council should block the proposal, he said. “You don’t need another shopping

centre here. You’ve got Belmont three minutes away by car, Highton two minutes, Waurn Ponds five minutes and everything expanding. “It’s completely unnecessary. It’s just big-box development and it’s serving (Woolworths) best and not the public.” Deakin ward by-election candidate Angelo Kakouros said he had doorknocked hundreds of residents upset they were not consulted on the shopping centre plan. “A lot of people have the impression that if something has been proposed, it’s going to go ahead anyway.” Mr Kakouros labelled the proposal a “fairly large development”. Many residential land owners in the area bought their allotments more than 12 months before Woolworths submitted its plans, he said. “They spent a lot of money to purchase their dream homes…and it’s critical we get the right development and right infrastructure for the area.” Mr Kakouros joined Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos and councillor Stretch Kontelj at a forum on Wednesday night to hear residents concerns in Highton and Wandana Heights.

Activists ‘aim for court ban’ BY ERIN PEARSON ANIMAL welfare activists have targeted three waterways east of Geelong with a court battle to stop duck hunting. Coalition Against Duck Shooting’s Laurie Levy said the group was preparing its case to force hunters away from Reedy Lake, Hospital Swamp and Lake Connewarre. The coalition’s lawyers would present the case to court “well ahead” of this year’s duck season from March 19 to June 13, he said. The plan for the court case follows animal welfare activists slamming State Government for reinstating a 12-week duck season this year. Mr Levy believed the three waterways, all part of Lake Connewarre State Game Reserve, near Leopold, “must be protected” as home to some of Australia’s most endangered birds. “Brolgas, magpie geese, bitterns, little bitterns and the freckled duck are all often mistaken and get illegally shot,” he said. “The wetland is also the feeding ground for the orange bellied parrot.” Mr Levy said the Government was unable to conduct “proper policing” of Victoria’s 15,000 wetlands during duck season with only 15 wildlife compliance officers. Geelong Field Naturalists Club’s Trevor Pescott accused duck hunting of a “strong level of

Geelong Gun and Rod Association’s president dismissed allegations of “shooter ignorance”. Mick Veitch said the association had worked “long and hard” to ensure duck hunting continued. “When breeding isn’t good we agree with a shorter season but now we’ve had a bumper breeding season we congratulate the minister’s decision to give us a full 12 weeks.” Mr Veitch said licensed shooters had to to undergo a duck identification test before participating

in the season. He called for calm ahead of the 2011 season. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re a tree hugger or a duck hunter, we should band together,” he said. “The days of yelling and screaming at each other are over. We need to work together - we’re all Australians.” Department of Sustainability and Environment approved the 12-week season citing “increased habitat” after significant rain in the past 12 months.

WHOEVER coined the phrase ‘Laughter is the best medicine’ must have had a few hearty souls at Eastern Beach in mind. Most Saturday mornings bemused onlookers dawdle past Geelong Laughter Club. Phillipa Challis is used to the stares when running club sessions in the public eye. Some onlookers stop for a moment, she says, then smile a little. But for others the incessant laughing finally proves contagious. “Because this is so big in India and we have a number of visitors from the sub-continent, they often go past and give you a big wave, start clapping or join in for a couple of laughs,” Phillipa grins. The club members’ chuckles, which build into a chortle then a guffaw and finally uncontrollable giggling, might be a parody of what humour is all about. The laughs might be fake, but the smiles aren’t. Phillipa sounds out ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha in rhythmic choruses like ancient chants. “I bet that’s raising a smile on your face,” she quickly asks.

Local Legends ANDREW MATHIESON She likens the laughing exercises to running on hot sand – lifting the feet up sharply and letting out oohs and ahs from deep inside the body’s diaphragm. The good belly laughs come without resorting to a joke. The laughing club’s members crack up silly to feel the rush of endorphins and improve their health. “Although we do have humourous moments,” Phillipa says. “We do it using laughter yoga, so if you come to a session it’s a series of laughs interspersed with a clapping activity and some deep stretching. “It’s truly beneficial and helps people on a mental, physical and health level.” Now one of the country’s foremost laughter therapists, Phillipa discovered the move-

ment by accident. When Australia’s first laughter club in Adelaide approached her to take enquiries in Victoria, the Manifold Heights resident realised the strong interest was no laughing matter. She jotted down in a notebook more than 500 interested callers in less than a year. “That’s when I realised a lot of people needed more laughter in their lives,” she says. So Phillipa formed Victoria’s first club in Geelong months later in July, 2002, and has been the driving force behind 30 others in the state ever since. One of only six certified laughter leaders in Australia based on the teachings of Dr Madan Kataria, an Indian guru who started the laughing phenomenon worldwide when researching its health benefits, the therapy allows grown adults to “let the inner-child out”, Phillipa says. “We use fake laughter to start with but what happens is the body doesn’t recognise that,” she explains. “The fake laughter has the same chemical reaction. When you laugh, you have an increase

in serotonin, which is linked to the brain, and you can release endorphins, which are referred to as the happy hormone.” A public relations and promotions event organiser, Phillipa also established a company that ran laughter programs for the corporate sector. Live Life Laughing has grown so popular that most of her work is generated from word of mouth and repeat business. Paying sometimes up to $5000 for a good laugh proves the benefits of a happy workforce, she argues. “Those programs are done so people are less stressed, more energised, more productive – it’s a great morale booster and team builder,” Phillipa says. “When I run these they find the correlation is the more they have a laughter session, the lower the absenteeism, higher staff attention and therefore increased profit.” For this reason, strangers in suits now just call her The Laughter Lady - no joke. “My passion is spreading the happy gimmick of laughter and I’ve become known for that,” Phillipa adds.

letters Too many chiefs

The Victorian Government announced on ABC radio on January 12 that secret cloud seeding research was being conducted in Victoria. I hope it has not been successful or we would have to assume the seeding of clouds also contributed to the extreme rain. How many other parts of Australia are conducting these experiments? I think the people of this nation have a right to know what the results are. My prayers are with all in distress during these trying times. Regarding the former Geelong Golf Club site (Independent, January 14), there is a double standard there. It is highly amusing that an urban forest is being planted in Newtown near Balyang Sanctuary when an established urban forrest is being torn down in North Geelong. It makes no sense to plant a forest and wait 20plus years to enjoy it when one already exists down the road. Here’s an idea: council should give the land in Newtown, which is already cleared, to golf course owner Links Living so it can leave the existing urban forest in North Geelong to continue doing its job cleaning our carbon emissions. Anna Michalik Bell Post Hill

IN THE January 14 Independent there was an officer on council for just about everything you could name, so what do the councillors do? There was acting manager for health and local laws Shane Scriggins talking about the drop in parking fines. There was some chap called Peter Bettess commenting on the Links Living submission. Then there was another chap, city services general manager Gary Van Driel, talking about not taking action against Powercor for cutting trees down. And that was just on the first seven pages! How many people does it take to run City of Greater Geelong? L Harris Geelong West

Seeds and forrests I AGREE with weatherman Lindsay Smail that the La Nina system is one reason Victoria has experienced extreme rain (Independent, January 14) but we should wait to see the results from cloud seeding research and experimentation being conducted throughout Victoria.

Consistently Brown BOB BROWN had a point in calling for coal companies to foot the bill for Queensland’s floods. After all, everyone expected BP to pay for the clean up of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. If Labor is proposing a carbon tax on the coal industry then it must believe coal companies are causing climate change and that climate change is causing or contributing to these disasters. A natural extension of the logic, really. At least Bob Brown is a consistent extremist and not a blatant hypocrite like most pollies who go along with this climate change swindle because they lack the courage to speak the truth.

MUCH of the United States of America has had fluoridated drinking water imposed by authorities for 70 years through several generations. Now, with the rising content in manufactured foods and drinks, tooth damage such as flecking exceeds 40 per cent in children. America’s Department of Health and Human Services has announced fluoride will be lowered in US water supplies to reduce the problem. Tooth damage is merely a visible indicator of the effects of fluoride on the rest of the body, particularly for the growing child. How many generations do we have to wait in Australia for the damage to be recognised and for forced medication to be forbidden? Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

US leads on fluoride THE DANGER of fluoride consumption is in the news again. On January 7 the USA Department of Health issued a directive for water fluoridation schemes to lower the amount of fluoride used, as it was causing damage to children. The allowed level is to be lowered to .7 mg/L. But Barwon Water and Melbourne blunder on at the higher, risky level of 1.0 mg/L. For years the local Barwon Association for Freedom from Fluoride action group has been telling Barwon Water and our health department there is a major problem with fluoride. But Victoria’s health chief, Dr John Carnie, has buried his head in the sand and kept pumping the chemical into the unsuspecting public. Premier Ted Baillieu must take swift action and bring Victoria into line. Reducing water fluoridation to zero milligrams of fluoride is the safe and smart thing to do. David McRae Geelong West

of this cycle. The wonderful public response to these catastrophes needs now to be directed into taking serious measures in reducing our effects on climate change. We can do this on two levels: reducing our personal carbon footprint and by pressuring governments to make changes on a national scale. The two most important initial first steps would be to put a price on carbon immediately and to close Hazlewood and other similar power stations as soon as possible for replacement with viable alternatives such as solar power stations. Nature for a while has shut down the coal mines that we refused to close due to the profits we make from them. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the once-hidden costs of exporting and burning coal are quickly catching up with the benefits we get from selling the coal. The sooner we act decisively the better off we will be and a sustainable future can be assured. We delay action at our peril because the predictions are that events like the Queensland floods will become far more frequent. Leigh Adamson Belmont

Bay fountain should be central focus for icon city of international standard. I suggest an international competition be held to design the fountain, availing Geelong of the world’s best artistic creativity. New York’s Central Park Reservoir Fountain is an example of what such an icon might look like. I can imagine how wonderful such a fountain would look to residents and tourists walking, jogging and driving around the bay or simply gazing upon the bay from the shore, restaurants, cafes or watercraft.

Inspiration: New York’s Central Park fountain.

I SUGGEST that Geelong build an iconic, illuminated fountain in Corio Bay (Independent, January 14). The fountain would continuously shoot an arching plume of water to be seen day and night from every vantage point of the bay. The fountain could be known as Centenary Fountain to mark the 100th anniversary of Geelong being proclaimed a City in 2010. Because Geelong is renowned as the city by the bay, a fountain in Corio Bay would be a brilliant icon. It would also be worthy of Geelong’s reputation as a bayside

Aqueduct our neglected icon MY GRANDPARENTS lived at Marshall where part of our outings would be spent crossing the Barwon River on what I always thought was a beautiful monument to the history of the past, the aqueduct. The estimated cost to bring this structure back to its former glory would be about $6 million to $7 million small potatoes when we see some of the debacles of past governments. For some reason the powers that be decided the aqueduct was not a high priority. I cannot understand why National Trust or State Government didn’t push harder for recognition of this unique structure.

As the wrangle with Armstrong Creek and the controversial section 4C bypass link evolves, I begin to understand the politics of it all. Vicroads apparently intends to eventually cross the river at Moolap Station Road, which would require demolition of the iconic aqueduct. We have had many icons in this once beautiful, untouched, unspoiled city but one by one we have see them sold off, bricked over, damaged, usurped, you name it. We don’t seem to care enough for our glorious past. Sandra Camm Highton

Gillian a blow to Portarlington IN REFERENCE to the Independent’s story last week on the death of Gillian Walker, Friends of the Bellarine Hills and Foreshore would like to add the following. We have lost one of the most committed members of Portarlington’s community. Passionately committed to the conservation of the environment, passionately committed to the preservation of

our history, passionately committed to the rights of the ordinary members of the community – that was Gillian. Despite her disability, unstintingly she applied her talents and energy to ensure the interests of residents were not overwhelmed by developers and unrestrained business interests. Well done, Gillian. Peter Cowden Bellarine

Paid firefighters essential to safety respond with any appliance when called for fire fighting. This is a public safety issue and is why CFA and State Government want to employ more paid firefighters. The majority of volunteers I have worked with for 23 years are genuine, committed and community minded people who deserve respect. VFBV should represent these people rather than attack CFA and its paid firefighters at every opportunity. Most of the key VFBV agitators have tried and failed to join the paid staff, so have lost their objectivity. Imagine if I wanted to interfere in the EBA negotiations of our volunteers - I’m they would be upset, too. Simon Scharf Bell Post Hill

I WOULD like to respond to a letter to the editor by Hans Van Hamond, of Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria, in the December 17 Independent. Imagine this situation: nurses at Geelong Hospital negotiate with Barwon Health for a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA), which is agreed to by both the employer and the employees but cannot be approved unless the volunteer auxiliary agrees. Most people would find this situation offensive yet for the past 15 years VFBV has opposed every EBA negotiated between CFA and its paid staff. What right has VFBV got to interfere in negotiations between employees and their employer? VFBV knows that in some locations volunteer brigades regularly fail to

Model rail enthusiasts on track to city BY ANDREW MATHIESON UNIQUE model train exhibits will arrive into Geelong full of steam for the weekend. Accompanied by bells and whistles of an Aussie locomotive, 14 first-time train layouts will keep heads turning at a Geelong West monster model train exhibition. Corio Model Railway Club’s Arthur Courtney said the high-quality designs would be the highlight for thousands of visiting steam enthusiasts expected to attend. “There are a number of new layouts coming, ones that have never been exhibited in Geelong as well as groups of modellers showing how to build them and make these model scenes.” Mr Courtney said detailed models had dropped in price from $1000 to as little as $300 since manufacturers moved several years ago from old-fashioned brass to quality plastics. The savings had revitalised inter-

Our flood of goodwill

A garden variety of The Tempest

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG music fans will have the chance to experience some of the city’s top music acts while raising money for flood victims this weekend. A group of the city’s music professionals banded together just days ago to raise money for the Queensland flood disaster, with the aim of raising $10,000. Geelong’s Flood-Aid will feature performers and groups such as Johnny Hawkins, Tom Milek, Ben Dew, A Newborn Science, The Colour Clear, DJ Shaneus and Bodymachine DJs. Spinning Half Studio front man Steven Nichols said an online conversation with like-minded music lovers sparked the initiative. “I posted a comment on my Facebook page looking for ideas on how to raise money for the flood victims. From there we started fleshing out ideas and by the end of business two days later we had solo acoustic artists and DJs offering their support.” Nichols his conversations about the Flood-Aid concept revealed how the floods had touched so many people across the Geelong region. “It’s hard to ignore the death and missing toll in Queensland, so we’ve tried to pull out as many stops as possible as a show of support from a city in Victoria.” Nichols said he was in awe of Geelong businesses who had offered gift packs and items for an auction during Flood-Aid. “Local businesses have been throwing auction items at us, from a year’s supply of pizza from Dominos to golf bags from House of Golf, one-onone pilates classes and Ghanda gift packs,” he said. “We are so humbled.” The Colour Clear’s Matt Biscombe said his band was excited to help. “It’s hard to see so many people in Queensland struggling - they’re people just like you and me.”

BY ERIN PEARSON ENVIRONMENT meets Shakespeare is what Ballarat theatre group OZACT is all about, according to director Bruce Widdop. With the company set to bring its latest production, The Tempest to Geelong this weekend, Widdop said he was excited to reinvent William Shakespeare’s plays for the city’s “picturesque” botanical gardens. “We think the Geelong gardens are one of best in Victoria,” he said. “The garden particularly suits his play because The Tempest is all about colonisation and shipwrecks. Ships being an important part of Geelong maritime history makes the area particularly suitable for us.” OZACT will return to Geelong for its fourth consecutive year after its first performance in the city 16 years ago. “The group’s first performance of Hamlet was in the outdoors at Geelong College and because we enjoyed it so much we wanted to do more,” Widdop said. “Then by accident a member couldn’t make a performance because he was holidaying down in Port Campbell, so we decided to follow him and headed down to Loch Ard Gorge – that’s when it really took off.” However, he conceded that the elements sometimes played “havoc” with performances. “Some days when the wind is blowing the wrong way it blows the words back into the actors’ faces,” he laughed. “We’ve had planes and helicopters fly over and all sorts of things, so there are all sorts of random things but that only succeeds in making the play more real.” OZACT will perform in the gardens on Saturday and Sunday.

Fundraisers: Pictured at front are Matt Biscombe, Ben Dew, Steven Nichols and David Adams with, at back, Erin Marshall, Daniel Brennan, Kristin Lemura, Maddie Weybury and Johnny Hawken. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 58991 Nicols said Flood-Aid promised an “eclectic mix of acoustic, rock, pop and alternative music” with various local DJs later in the evening. “All artists performing at Flood-Aid have generously donated their time in a gesture they hope will

inspire the Geelong community to come together and support the many people and animals suffering throughout Queensland,” he said. Flood Aid will begin 2pm Sunday at Bended Elbow.

rovedale’s Sandstone Cafe has caused quite a stir thanks to its delicious menu and stellar service following a major revamp. Owner and chef Simon Parrott says after six months in charge he’s seen the cafe grow considerably. Simon says Sandstone Cafe has become a comfortable meeting place for many locals “Most of my customers are coming in several times each week and I’m overawed by the loyalty they show us. “I’m enjoying cooking again and the rain has really made the herb garden boom. “Come in and see what everyone’s talking about. We have new menu items, a great outdoor dining area and more.” Sandstone Cafe offers diners contemporary Australian cuisine with a strong seafood influence. Customers can expect to see dishes such as grilled Atlantic salmon, homemade gnocchi, fish curry and prawn risotto and Simon’s famous lemon tart, available all day every day. Ideal during summer, Sandstone Cafe’s outdoor entertaining area is the perfect place to enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine from the extensive wine list. At night Sandstone Cafe offers customers a special dinner deal. For $29.90 guests can enjoy a two-course meal from the dinner menu. Sandstone Café is also available for stand-up functions for 130 patrons and 80 in seated events. Sandstone Cafe is open 9am to 4pm Sunday to Thursday and until late for dinner Friday and Saturday.

An Independent Advertising Feature

Adoptapet – a NEED CASH perfect match then sell something you no longer need....

onely hearts looking for love now have the chance to meet their perfect mate whilst on the move, thanks to the launch of the RSPCA’s innovative iPhone/iPad application, adoptapet. The mobile application was created and funded by well known dedicated animal activist and television and media personality Suzie Wilks and her husband Nick. It coincides with the launch of an innovative multi-media advertising campaign to highlight the breadth and diversity of animals available from RSPCA Adoption Centres nationwide. Akin to the RSPCA’s new-look online pet search engine and information bank, www.adoptapet.com.au, the iPhone/iPad application showcases the plethora of animals available for adoption – from purebreds to lovable cross breeds – at local RSPCA centres. Lists of animals available for adoption can be fine-tuned to suit individual lifestyles and circumstances through a colour-coded system, making finding a perfect pet match easier and quicker than ever before. It will also alert you with an SMS when the dog of your dreams is available. The application also features handy pet care tips from Suzie and her dogs Junior and Lilli to help new owners care for their pets. As the RSPCA Ambassador, Suzie Wilks said: “Online and mobile dating has become a huge phenomenon, and with the process of adopting a pet very similar to finding a soul mate, the RSPCA has embraced the concept to find as many of their loveable pets homes. “I have always been extremely passionate about animals, so creating the application with my husband to make the RSPCA’s animals even more accessible, has been a dream come true. “One of my life goals has been to help animals in a big way – so coming up with this idea and creat-

ing it has fulfilled a dream for me. “We are very proud and hope with the help of this app, animals throughout the shelters will have a good chance of a new life and new home. “Both the application and the adoptapet website allow you to find the perfect pet at a time and location convenient to you, so whatever type of pet you are looking for, including breed, colour and temperament, all you need to do is grab your phone to find it.” The mobile application, which is a first for any animal welfare organisation in Australia, can be downloaded from the iTunes store for free by searching for adoptapet. All animals at RSPCA Adoption Centres looking for love can also be viewed online at www.adoptapet.com.au . Suzie hopes that this helps home all animals and match them perfectly to the owners.

Bella Vespa R

Bells and whistles: Rory Flynn has toned down his Vespa after doing the full ‘Christmas tree’ restoration. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

ory Flynn did the full “Christmas Tree” restoration on his 1971 Vespa scooter. “It means you have to fit as many lights, mirrors and chrome bits as you can fit on it,” Rory said. “I drove it like that for a while, but it looked a bit kinda crazy so I took some of the lights off and modified it more to the mod look of that era, but it still looks good.” He bought the little scooter from a friend who found it deteriorating in a shed in outer Geelong. The scooter remained untouched in Rory’s shed for a few years before restoration began in earnest. “The restoration took almost three years to complete. “I started by tracing the history of the scooter using VINs (Vehicle Identification Numbers) and discovered it was used by Australia Post as a mail delivery scooter. “I wanted to restore it as an Australia Post Vespa but I couldn’t remember seeing any Australia Post scooters so I looked through heaps of old

Wane’s Wheels GREG WANE photos but couldn’t see any.” Rory found out the bike was sold new in Italy and it was later exported to New Zealand, before coming to Australia as a mail delivery scooter. “There wasn’t a lot of rust. It had been painted with a paintbrush with thick house paint which acted like a sealer so there was hardly any rust and it had preserved a lot of the panels. But there were a lot of dings in the panels. “When I had it sandblasted most of the panels were really good, but I still had to replace a few of them and that was tricky because they are not easy to come by. “Vespas are built in India now because Italy sold the presses to India and Indonesia. They still press the panels but

you have to be wary of what you are buying. I ended up getting a genuine panel from the US, another from India, Europe, in fact the scooter has a part from almost every continent on the planet,” Rory laughed. He said because his Vespa was so old and there had been dozens of newer models and shapes produced since 1971, which is why it was difficult to find parts. The little 150cc engine had also given up long ago, so some lessons in mechanical restoration were necessary. “I’d never picked up a screw driver before and had no mechanical knowledge of engines. But when I started fixing up the scooter I decided I needed to learn about engines. “I got some help from a specialist in Melbourne at first and then I found a mechanic that used to work at the Paggio factory in Italy, his name is Roberto and he is passing on all his mechanical skills to me bit by bit.

was an immediate hit with its brightly painted pressed steel underbody, which featured a complete cowling for the engine concealing the dirt and grease, and a flat floorboard to protect the feet and a front fairing for wind protection. Enrico Praggio was originally an aircraft designer who also had a sense of humour. Each Vespa features a small aircraft icon on the front. The Vespa shape has changed little since 1946 with only slight variations. Rory, a Geelong graphic designer, said his Vespa epitomised the Italian style and design of the 70s. “It was such an iconic time of design, the Vespa is a beautiful shape, it is flair and function. It is so Euro cool, with rounded and beautiful curves. They are such an iconic 1970s shape,” Rory said. “So Eurovision!”

Aerodynamic: The Vespa’s predecessor was a jet fighter before aircraft designer Paggio turned to scooters but he kept his sense of humour and added the jet icon.

Flair and function: The Vespa has beautiful curves.

“I am also a member of the Melbourne Crusaders. They’re a group of vintage Vespa riders and are a good source of knowledge. “We get together once a month. I trailer the little Vespa up to Melbourne and we go hopping around cafes in the suburbs in a big group, probably 20-25 bikes. “We did go around Tasmania two years ago and to do a trip like that you learn to pack light.” The Vespa runs on two-stroke, an oil and unleaded fuel mix and despite having a 150cc engine and little wheels the scooter is very powerful. “They have an amazing amount of torque. You can take two people on them and cruise at 80ks so they are really powerful for a little bike. It’s probably because there’s no drive train — it is an engine-direct drive wheel. “A tank of fuel gets me at least 100150 kilometres.” The downside is the early scooters need to be nursed. Rory said they break down quite a bit and on the Tasmanian trip bits kept falling off the Vespas as they tripped around the island. “Things kept dropping off them and we joked that after the trip we would have left almost an entire Vespa of parts behind. But the big plus is the parking bonus. “It is a fantastic benefit. The Vespa is a real joy to go shopping. You can simply go door to door and park it out the front. Of course on sunny days it’s great to go cruising.” He explained that the earlier models, built in the late 60s and early 70s were becoming harder to find these days. “In Italy, because of emission laws the Italians have been encouraged to trade in their old Vespas for a really good rebate on a new one so the older scooters are getting scrapped. “These oldies are turning up in Indonesia and Thailand, where they get thrashed and bashed and they are later being sold with bent frames. But genuine vintage Italian-made scooters are rare.” The scooters were designed for the people. With the poor state of the Italian roads, a conventional vehicle was out of the question. The Vespa was born in 1946 and

Leading motorcycle and powerski centre G

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

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

The Independent, Friday January 21, 2011

sport Geelong’s Lady Cats sign 10 for new team BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S new interstate women’s basketball side has taken a step closer to completion after signing 10 players. The signings to South East Australia Basketball League’s Lady Cats side included key import Chelsea Aubury who will transfer from Bendigo to Geelong to take up the position. Supercats General Manager David Hoey said the team was thrilled with Aubury. “Chelsea, who is currently playing in the Women’s National Basketball

League with the Bendigo Spirit, is a Canadian national who has represented her country on an international level since 2002,” he said. “She had a successful college career at the University of Nebraska and has played in the WNBL for the past two seasons. At 188cm, Chelsea was arguably the best import in the WNBL last season. “As one of the league’s best threepoint shooters, she brings her outside game to Geelong.” Aubury, who has previously played for Bendgio under Lady Cats coach

Paul O’Brien, will line-up alongside fellow tall timbered WNBL forward Chloe Little. Hoey said 186cm Little would bring “good defensive game” and “incredible work ethic” to the side. The remaining eight new Lady Cats are Alex Sheedy, Anna Teague, Ellie Stevens, Candice Rogers, Maddie Taylor, Kylie Morrissy, Jess Watson and Cortney Williamson. The team has one signing to go, with officials expecting to reveal the final name soon.

Thrilled: Coached Paul O’Brien.

Down and dirty on snapper in a discoloured bay MOST reports over the past week were confined to the bays, with many top catches coming from Corio Bay’s inner-harbour. Stan Sterling anchored up close to the retaining wall in front of Royal Geelong Yacht Club where with a liberal berley trail he caught trevalla, salmon, flathead, snapper and a tailor of just over 1kg. Darren James found the snapper holding up in good numbers around Western Beach’s boat moorings. Casting soft plastics, he landed around 10 pinkies from 35cm to 40cm along with any number of undersized fish. The Stingaree Bay spoilgrounds hosted few anglers, which was a surprise because those who worked this area found any number of snapper to 45cm long with some outstanding pike. Paul Welsh used his kayak to search for fish under the moored boats in the grammar school lagoon but discoloured water coming down Hovells Creek forced him to paddle out and head toward Avalon Beach. It turned out to be a great move, with a big shoal of salmon feeding on the surface leading to a caputure of around 15 fish to nearly 1.5kg. Paul Kneller and his mates fished close to the Alcoa sandbar where, with the use of berley, they had a ball catching garfish and whiting to 34cm, although toadfish took many baits. For some weeks snapper have been present in numbers in the outer-harbour, although anglers have had to fish through all the undersize fish to find the quality specimens. We found snapper to 45cm while fishing the spoilgrounds of Hermsley over the weekend, along with those big pike that have been present for the past four weeks. The best soft plastics have been jigging grubs and swimming mullet in the four-inch sizes, with the larger lures preventing the capture of small fish. Noel Mclean fished bait along the edge of Wilson Spit where again small fish dominated until the tide starting to run off from high. In 30 minutes Noel landed three nice snapper from 3kg to 4.2kg. He said two other boats fishing nearby also had similar results to his, with fresh pilchard and squid the best baits. Terry Sharp sent in a photo of a big snapper he also caught in the area on Sunday evening. Estimated at 5kg, Terry’s fish took a trolled Koolie Minnow lure. Nick Masters took father-in-law Geoff Brown, of Bendigo, for a session on the snapper off Clifton Springs. The fishing was slow until the sun dropped, after which Geoff bagged a 78

On the bite BRIAN LONG

Soft touch: Jeanette Long with a typical snapper caught on soft plastics in Corio Bay’s outer-harbour. 6kg snapper in addition to some nice flathead and one decent whiting. Long Reef rewarded anglers with good numbers of mostly small squid. Jig choice was critical, with small 2.0 sizes essential in pinks or oranges. Whiting captures have improved recently, with St Leonards to Queenscliff clearly the best area. Anglers have been enjoying success with Black Magic whiting snatchers tipped with a little bait, which is perfect for tidal areas. Swan Bay’s entrance produced leatherjacket, whiting, garfish and snapper anglers who trolled inside caught some big salmon pushing 2kg using shallow-running bibbed lures. Reports of squid continued around Queenscliff, with the best captures during the early morning. Anglers should observe the bag limit of ten a day on this species. Point Lonsdale Pier returned some quality salmon. Evening and after dark has been best, with Tony Knight landing two of 1.5kg on Monday night along with a 3kg snapper. Snapper were also still taken at Black Rock in the discoloured water. In freshwater, Lake Purrumbete was the number one destination. Rainbow trout again dominated captures, with most under 1.5kg. However, some of the brown trout

The Independent, Friday January 21, 2011

Worth the trip: Bendigo’s Geoff Brown with a 6kg snapper from Clifton Springs. have been much bigger. Fishing from the shore, Peter Shaw landed two browns to 2.8kg using a 40mm Atomic Shad. Peter has found that suspending lures can be worked much slower than others, resulting in better results. Boat anglers using ice jigs and bobbers have caught redfin to 900g. This week’s best options will be to fish Corio Bay’s inner and outer har-

bours for snapper on the late afternoon high tides and into dark. Soft plastics anglers should find the fishing awesome close in from Bird Rock to the quarries or from Clifton Springs to Hermsley.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE

Carson setting lead for Cats’ bowling ranks ALL THE wet weather last week saw day one of Geelong Cricket Club’s important round 13 match against Essendon washed out, meaning the game will revert to a one-day fixture tomorrow. While the format changes, the required result remains the same, as does the method with which the Cats will need to go about their business to get the points. Matthew Harrison, Hayden Butterworth and Tom Elliott lead the runs table with over 200 each but they’ll need more support if the team is going to start putting some respectable scores together. With the cherry, it’s no surprise that Marc Carson has almost double the amount of wickets of his nearest teammate with 21, the stalwart holding the Cats’ bowling together as he has done for a number of years now. All others in the team need to step up and turn the Cats back into the formidable team they have shown glimpses of over the past few seasons. In Geelong Cricket Association, rain also turned the scheduled two-day game into a one-dayer tomorrow. This will mean a huge weekend of cricket ahead, with so many teams still in with a chance of claiming a top six spot and contesting this year’s finals. While many eyes will be on the top-of-thetable clash between Grovedale and East Belmont, perhaps it’s the match between Bell Post Hill and Geelong West that holds the most interest because the loser could find itself struggling to make finals. The Panthers are in seventh position on the table, while the Rams are just one spot ahead and even then only by percentage. Both teams have won their past two games, although it has to be said that Geelong West’s victories were against superior opposition. This form should see the Rams win tomorrow. While Waurn Ponds finds itself on top of the division two ladder thanks to a mixture of good form and good fortune, it’s fair to say the second-versus-third clash involving St Albans Breakwater and Geelong City will hold the attention of most cricket followers in the region. The two heavyweights of the division will slug it out in a match involving some of the best players in Geelong cricket. For the Saints, Jason Murray, Chris Jones and Justin Miller form one of the most potent attacks around. For the Sharks, players the calibre of Adam Pitts, Adam Marsland and Kent Agg have strutted their stuff in many big division one games, so this will hold no fear for them. Both teams will be keen to impress a psychological advantage over the other in what will be a crackerjack game of cricket. In division three, ladder leader Little River takes on third placed Modewarre. While Modewarre has tasted success in recent years, it has been quite a while since Little River has got its hands on any silverware. While there is still a long way to go in this season, Little River has done everything right thus far. It can go a long way toward claiming the flag this year by winning this match and not only instilling a wariness among the other clubs but also some self-belief within its own group.
