Police on hunt after robberies BY ERIN PEARSON POLICE are investigating a spate of violent armed robberies targeting convenience stores across Geelong. The hunt widened on Wednesday morning when two men armed with a gun robbed a Bell Park post office. Police said they were now investigating seven robberies at 7-Eleven stores, two on post offices and a raid on a Belmont milk bar since January 4. Some of the alleged robbers were facing court. Police said that in the latest robbery the two men entered the post office on the corner of Thompson Road and Separation Street around 11.40am. The pair left with cash via Separation Street. A day earlier a masked offender robbed two 7Eleven stores within minutes. Police believed the offender entered the chain’s Ryrie Street store armed with a screw driver around 4.30am. The bandit threatened an attendant and demanded cash before fleeing in a vehicle parked on Swanston Street. Police described his haul as small amount of cash. Soon after a masked bandit entered another 7Eleven on the corner of Separation Street and Thompson Road, North Geelong, around 4.40am. Police said the man used a knife to threaten an attendant and demand cash. The man was described as wearing grey track suit pants with a black and white striped hooded jacket during both robberies. Investigators believed the robberies were linked. Geelong and Newcomb 7-Elevens had also been robbed, police said. A Manifold Heights post office was also robbed earlier this month. New statistics from Victoria Police show Geelong recorded the state’s biggest rise in robberies in the past 12 months, up 40.3 per cent. Geelong also recorded the third biggest increase in residential burglaries, up 7.7 per cent with an additional 90 offences. The statistics showed a general statewide fall in crime, down 6.9 per cent overall.

Toorak duo in $150,000 pay penalty THE FORMER owners of central Geelong’s 7-Eleven and their company have been fined $150,000 for underpaying international students. A Melbourne magistrate found Toorak’s Hao Chen and Xue Jing guilty of deliberately exploiting six students from Zimbabwe and India between 2005 and 2009. The penalty followed a Fair Work Ombudsman investigation and prosecution. Magistrate Kate Hawkins fined Chen and Jing $20,000 and $10,000 respectively and handed down a further $120,000 fine on their private company, Bosen Pty Ltd. Ms Hawkins also ordered Bosen to back-pay the six students almost $90,000. Fair Work Ombudsman inspectors discovered the underpayments when they investigated complaints from the employees. The students, aged 18 to 26, were paid flat rates of between $9 and $12 an hour but were entitled to more than twice as much, the investigation found. Chen and Jing also failed to pay the victims annual leave entitlements and unlawfully required some to undertake unpaid training before starting paid employment. Ms Hawkins said the company supplied false information about hours of work and rates to 7Eleven’s head office. Store records were “deliberately thrown out”, she said. Fair Work Ombudsman executive director Michael Campbell said the penalty sent a clear message the community refused to tolerate “deliberate exploitation”. “International students and other foreign workers can be vulnerable because they are often not fully aware of their workplace rights in Australia, so we take instances of exploitation very seriously.” However, a union spokesperson said the 7-Eleven workers would probably receive only a third of their entitlements because Bosen was set to go bankrupt.

Time to man up, magistrate tells crime spree duo BY KIM WATERS A MAGISTRATE has told two teenagers who joined a gang crime spree in Winchelsea to “man up”. Ann McGarvie fined 18-year-olds Andrew Bourdouvalis and Jonathon Muffett $1300 and $1012 respectively over their parts in the outbreak of theft, criminal damage and arson. Bourdouvalis and Muffet, sat quietly in court on Wednesday as their mothers wept behind them. Police Leading Senior Constable Glenn Abbott told the court Bourdouvalis was involved with three other men and two youths in the theft of a ute on January 18. The group drove the vehicle to nearby Wurdale Hall whey they preformed “burnouts” before dumping the ute and driving to Geelong to pick up Muffet from his Highton home, Snr Const Abbott said. One of the alleged offenders decided to “dispose of the evidence”, so they drove back to the ute and pushed it on its side, spilling petrol from the vehicle’s tank. Snr Const Abbott said Bourdouvalis and Muffet set the vehicle on fire with a flaming, petrol-soaked towel. Bourdouvalis was also involved in a burglary of Winchelsea Hotel and criminal damage of two homes in the town during January, the court heard. Snr Cost Abbott said Bourdouvalis’s explanations for the burglary and criminal damage was he “wanted smokes” and “was bored”. Lawyer Gerard Healy, for Bourdouvalis, blamed the charges on Luke Lamos, who he alleged was the group’s “ringleader”. “These are young lads led on by one fellow.” Muffet’s lawyer said her client’s involvement was “extremely limited”. The group picked up Muffet in Highton to attend a party but instead drove to the stolen ute and handed him the flaming petrol-soaked towel, she told the court. “He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nowhere to go…he didn’t think about the consequences.” Ms McGarvie told Bourdouvalis and Muffet they needed to “man up” She warned both men not to “muck up” again on their “second chance” as she fined them without conviction.

Expert ‘stands down’ from review on river BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN AN EXPERT appointed to lead a review of investigations into Anglesea River fish kills has stood down, an action group has revealed. Environment Minister Ryan Smith announced two weeks ago that Deakin University Associate Professor John Sherwood would head the review. Mr Smith launched the review after Anglesea residents gathered 697 signatures on a petition calling for an inquiry. Angelsea River Support Action Group’s Gary Kerr said Prof Kerr stood down to avoid a conflict of inter-

est over his role in the earlier investigation, which blamed natural processes for the fish kills. Mr Kerr said Prof Sherwood requested a meeting with the action group to review its data. “We showed him all our data. He acknowledged he had a conflict of interest and he resigned.” Mr Kerr said State Government now had an opportunity to instigate a “proper” inquiry instead of a review. “This whole thing is beyond a joke now. It really smells.” A spokesperson said the Government would announce Prof

Sherwood’s replacement in “coming weeks”. The Independent was unable to contact Prof Sherwood for comment. Mt Macedon’s Ian Horrocks said the river was still a health hazard after his grandson emerged from the water over Easter with a large, leathery welt. The welt was on the front of the boy’s body to the waterline where he laid in the water at low tide, Mr Horrocks said. “We had no idea of the concerns about the river. Apparently there was a sign advising no swimming but it was taken down by Surf Coast council a

week earlier.” Mr Horrocks said his grandson woke screaming in pain and hysterical, complaining the welt was burning him. The boy had no known allergies, Mr Horrocks said. The family had booked him in to see a dermatologist. Another visiting parent, Sally Murchie, said her son had also emerged with “red, itchy blotches” on his lower legs after walking knee-deep in the river. He was only allowed in the water because the warning signs had been taken down, she said.

Rivers blitzed POLICE have caught 24 drink drivers in an Easter blitz on roads around Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. A Victoria Police spokersperson said Operations Crossroads also caught 39 unlicensed or disqualified drivers and over 400 breaking speed limits.

Schools fix STATE Government funding injections will restore play areas lost during Commonwealth projects at Mandama and Bellbrae primary schools, according to South Barwon MP Andrew Katos. He said the money was part of a $5 million statewide program to rebuild playgrounds, hard courts and car parks removed or demolished during the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution works.

Fashion opening AUSTRALIAN fashion brand Country Road will open a “sister brand” next door in Westfield Geelong shopping centre, according to a statement from the company’s publicist. Emily Chambers said Trenery and Country Road would share a walkway between their men’s wear departments when the new shop opened on May 10.

Coastal award A GROUP of authorities overseeing management of Bellarine Peninsula wetlands protected under an international Ramsar agreement has won a category of 2011 Victorian Coastal Awards. A Parks Victoria statement said Port Phillip (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula Site Steering Committee won the coastal planning and management category award.

Giving cash A $100,000 grant will help one of Geelong’s peak charitable bodies continue its work providing financial support to the region’s health and human care agencies, Deputy Premier Peter Ryan has announced. He said the money for Give Where You Live, formerly United Way Geelong, would allow the organisation to “continue its great work to strengthen the local community”.

‘Worst’ discovery A DISCOVERY of “one of the world’s worst weeds” in the Otway Ranges has alarmed authorities, according to Victoria’s Department of Primary Industries. The department said a single plant of giant knotweed, whose shoots can grow 8cm a day and damage infrastructure, was found on a “quiet roadside” at Beech Forest.

Strike sends car shipping work to Geelong’s port on Wednesday, according to Port of Melbourne’s schedule of expected ship movements. “While we’re glad we can benefit the Geelong economy, we’re trying to service our customers as best we can amidst the industrial action the union has taken,” Mr Tonks said. “We have no choice and we’re fortunate our customers understand the dilemma we are in.”

Mr Tonks said Maritime Union of Australia claims at Webb Dock were “beyond reality”. He warned the demands would “put our bottom line $30 million into the red”. Mr Tonks said the company was continuing to work with State Government on transferring the vehicle shipping trade to Geelong from Melbourne.

The industrial action would have no bearing on the outcome of the feasibility study, he said. The maritime union said workers were preparing to strike at Webb dock after a failure of negotiations on pay and conditions. Partial work bans had been in place for the past three weeks, virtually stopping work at Webb Dock, the union said.

BY ERIN PEARSON AGE IS no barrier to 63-yearold Julie Jones. The Whittington grandmother will fly to South Africa next month to help AIDS orphans in a mission of hope she has planned for decades. “I’ve always wanted to do something to help orphans in South Africa,” she said. “I thought ‘I’m 63 and if I don’t do it now I never will’.” “Every country has its problems but, to me, it’s worse over there - one child dies with AIDS every three minutes. “If I can put a smile on someone’s face what a great thing to do.” Ms Jones will base herself in Kayamandi, a small village outside Stellenbosch. She will spend her mornings in a nursery before teaching kindergarten classes and adult education lessons during afternoons. Ms Jones said she hoped to inspire other “more-mature” Australians to follow in her footsteps. “Some people want to learn to ski, I’ve always wanted to go to South Africa,” she said. “When we get to a certain age we think ‘Oh, what can we learn to do? Maybe bowls or join a club?’ but I feel there

Armstrong Creek recycled water rollout begins Rollout of Barwon Water’s first major dual pipe water supply system began in March at the Warralily development in Armstrong Creek. It is our first Class A recycled water installation for a new residential development, representing a new chapter in our diverse water supply strategy. Connection of the first 65 lots to the dual pipe system, including potable (drinking) water and recycled water, is expected to be complete and ready for house construction by the end of 2011. Auditing of every connection in dual pipe developments will guarantee public safety by ensuring there is no possibility of a cross-connection between drinking water and recycled water supplies.

Plentiful summer rain has helped keep Geelong’s water storages at a nine-year high. This is welcome news for our community, which has endured almost a decade of dry conditions and water restrictions. Following an unusually wet spring, the late summer rain ensured our total water storage volume remained above 70 per cent through April, which is double the April 2010 ﬁgure. The Permanent Water Saving Plan now applies across our region. Photo courtesy of the Australian Paralympic Committee.

We recently held a number of events that oﬀered our community and stakeholders an opportunity to discuss Barwon Water’s future plans and examine water supply options. On 6 April we hosted a breakfast for 70 local government and business representatives. In the evening, 30 members of the Geelong community participated in our public water forum. We also recently consulted with the Colac Otway shire council, and met with a group of interested Colac community members. We discussed our roadmap for the future and heard specialist insights into diverse water supply options. There was strong support for recycled water and stormwater solutions, with an emphasis on environmental responsibility and eﬃciency. Thank you to all participants for your time and contribution.

Northern Water Plant construction begins Construction officially began at the site of the Northern Water Plant in March, with federal and state MPs, Richard Marles and Andrew Katos, turning the first sod. The $94 million facility will be built on industrial land next to the Shell Geelong Refinery in Corio. The plant will treat sewage and trade waste from Geelong’s northern suburbs and produce high quality recycled water for the refinery and nearby public sporting grounds. The plant, due for completion late 2012, should save the equivalent of water used by 10,000 homes annually.

Community, stakeholders have their say

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE REGION’S council elections face increased costs, reduced voter participation and potential fraud under plans to bring forward elections, according to Victorian Electoral Commission. Candidates for an elected mayor in Geelong would also have to start their campaigns earlier, clashing with school holidays and major events. Geelong Mayor John Mitchell said City Hall wanted to retain the existing election date in late November. “We’ll work within the confines of the rules but this indicates the difficulty when making policy on the run,” he said.

Municipal Association of Victoria president Bill McArthur said MAV lobbied State Government to bring election dates forward to the second week in October so new councils could start planning and budgeting before the Christmas break. But a VEC report for MAV warned that October elections would clash with school holidays, the AFL grand final, Melbourne’s show and Victoria’s spring racing carnival. The dates would also clash with Geelong’s show and racing cup. The VEC report said delivering postal ballots to homes unoccupied during school holidays could raise

allegations of electoral fraud because ballot papers would not be secure in mailboxes. Extending the election period beyond school holidays would increase promotional costs for councils, the report said. After receiving the VEC report MAV said bringing forward municipal elections from late November to mid October would be “detrimental”. MAV said it sought “urgent” feedback from councils on election date change. Twenty-six councils supported elections on the fourth Saturday in October, 15 wanted no change and 13 backed the second Saturday in

October, MAV said. The organisation then wrote to the Local Government Minister recommending the fourth Saturday in October for council elections. “(This) will reduce the impacts on both council costs and community participation,” MAV said. Mr McArthur said the new proposed date sought to minimise clashes with federal elections. “It will still achieve the aim of giving new councillors more time (but) the system will never be perfect.” A Golden Plains Shire spokesperson said its first preference was the second week in October.

well.” ResCom real estate agent Seka Powell said buyers were snapping up properties at Inverleigh because the ring road had enhanced travel between the town and Melbourne. Two-acres lots that sold for $25,000 10 years ago were now selling for close to $300,000, she said. “Inverleigh is just hot. It’s the flavour of the month, the Highton of the country,” Ms Powell said. “We knew the ring road would always make a difference but it’s opened up the gates completely. “We sold six and a half acres of land with a beautiful homestead on it for $302,000 in 2002. It would now be worth between $650,000 and $750,000.”

we’re looking at increasing staff again,” Ms Mossop said. “We noticed an immediate effect when the ring road opened and it’s getting busier all the time. More people are getting to know it’s a better route - even people going down to Lorne and Apollo Bay will come through Inverleigh then divert down through the back roads.” Ms Mossop said her business was now serving about 1000 coffees a week. “We’re doing an incredible amount of coffee.

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S ring road has created a boomtown on the city’s western doorstep, according to business operators. They credit increasing traffic on Hamilton Highway with creating jobs and dramatically driving up property values at Inverleigh. General store and post office operator Tracey Mossop said she had employed five extra staff to cater for the influx of visitors.

Call to lift city building heights:

Let’s grow up role” in encouraging waterfront growth and student housing in Geelong. Deakin Vice Chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander backed an increase in height limits as part of the university’s plans for a “major increase” in student numbers in central Geelong. The university’s Waterfront campus would increase student numbers to around 10,000 over the next decade, she said. “Clearly, these students will need to be accommodated somewhere close to the campus and there will be a need for an increase in student accommodation in the Geelong CBD. “An increase in the height restriction of developments in the CBD would seem to be a sensible approach to encouraging further development.

Executives ‘challenged’ over health BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN EIGHT of Geelong’s leading executives have challenged employees to take charge of their health and fitness. The eight are two-thirds of the way through Geelong’s Fittest Exec 2011 challenge to promote healthier workplaces. Club Exec owner Robyn Reimers said desk workers in the corporate sector faced major health challenges. “What better way to prove to employees that it’s indeed possible to be fit and healthy than taking Geelong’s busiest business leaders and putting them through their paces? “These execs are extremely time-poor, all in middle age and are great mentors for others. If they can succeed then hopefully others will see that it’s possible for them to achieve success also.” Ms Reimers said the challenge would prove that sustainable and healthy eating, along with some “smart training”, would provide great results.

Australia meeting earlier this month. The April 15 Independent revealed that the plan earmarked Lara, Lovely Banks and Batesford as well as existing growth targets such as Torquay and Ocean Grove. Mr Katos said taller buildings in central Geelong was part of the growth plan. Geelong’s existing development overlay encourages proposals to match the height of adjacent buildings without impeding the “visual dominance” of landmarks such as St Mary’s Church. The overlay restricts buildings in central Geelong’s business zone one to six storeys and to four in zone two. Plans for taller buildings are permitted in the city’s Western Wedge precinct. Mr Katos suggested Deakin University could play a “major

BY ERIN PEARSON HIGH-RISE buildings could be the key to revitalising central Geelong, according to Liberal MP Andrew Katos. The Member for South Barwon told a lunch meeting of developers that the central city area’s height restrictions should be lifted. “If you’re going to renew the CBD, maybe go a bit higher,” he said. “I’m not talking about a Rialto but I think making buildings higher is a good idea. St Mary’s (church) no longer needs to be the tallest building in Geelong.” Mr Katos called for the removal of height restrictions as he revealed the Baillieu Government’s plan for residential growth around Geelong at the Urban Development Institute of

Geelong parents warned:

Kids ‘still too fat’ BY KIM WATERS GEELONG’S childhood obesity rate is still “very high” despite new research showing a statewide reduction, according to Deakin University researchers. They warned the city’s parents to monitor their children’s diets and activity levels as Geelong became the “centre of action” in Australia’s fight against childhood obesity. Deakin Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention researcher Melanie Nichols said Geelong was now at the forefront of research into weight

problems among Victorian children aged as young as two. Ms Nichols regarded recent findings of a slight decrease in childhood obesity since 1999 as “positive” but warned the fight was far from over. “Certainly we’ve seen a small decrease but it’s not the end of the story. Levels of preschool obesity are still fairly high and there is lots, lots, lots more to do.” Ms Nichols said a recent Deakin University study revealed rates of obesity in Victorian preschoolers had

dropped 3.1 per cent in threeyear-olds and 1.1 per cent children aged two. “Our study isn’t able to determine the causes of childhood obesity and we certainly need to do more research to figure that out,” she said. “There is a lot the government can do to support parents and make it easier for them to make healthy choices. For example, we can reduce the exposure young kids have to the marketing of unhealthy foods.” Ms Nichols said obesity in young children threatened men-

tal-health problems as well as physical harm. “The biggest risk is that it will stay with the children when they get older. That’s why something needs to be done early on in life.” Deakin obesity expert Professor Boyd Swinburn said the latest results proved Victoria’s high childhood obesity rate could be overcome. But he warned parents that the rates among Geelong pre-school children were still “very high”. “Early childhood is a critical stage for embedding healthy habits,” Prof Swinburn said.

COUNCIL MEETING NOTICE OF COUNCIL MEETING The next Meeting of the Greater Geelong City Council will be held at the Council Conference and Reception Centre, City Hall, Little Malop Street, Geelong on Wednesday 10 May 2011, commencing at 7.00pm.

Work for the disabled wins duo state awards BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A UNIQUE communication initiative and a sport event have won state awards for two Geelong disability project workers. Karingal’s Lee Considine won a client services award and Encompass’s Brendan Beveridge took out the volunteer category at the 2011 Victorian Disability Sector Awards. Mr Considine devised a model of communication that returned dignity and control to people with disabilities. His Getting the Life You Want initiative partnered people with disabilities and support persons as advocates and allies. “It’s a way of enabling people with a disability to make genuine choices in their lives,” Mr Considine said. Mr Beveridge was instrumental in the development and implementation of Encompass Cup, a football match highlighting the abilities of young umpires with disabilities in the Geelong league. Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said both winners had made outstanding contributions to the disability sector.

Details of issues to be considered will be published on the City’s website www.geelongaustralia.com.au on Friday 6 May 2011. The meeting is open to the public.

The Independent, Friday April 29, 2011

Study ‘rebuff’ in meters call property valuer Opteon Victoria, had conducted analysis showing Geelong’s CBD had an acceptable retail space vacancy rate. He brushed off claims of a CBD “crisis” and recommended subdividing six large vacant spaces to cut the rate to a healthy 4.5 per cent. But First National real estate agent Greg McDonald urged traders to unite in a campaign for

removal of parking meters. “We should all put into a fund to campaign against councillors who object to parking meter removal,” Mr McDonald said. “Every trader is throwing their hands up and they’re all looking at their options. The whole CBD is being devalued – rentals are dropping, even the city is dropping its rates because buildings have

lower valuations. “If buildings are worth less, landlords can’t charge the same rents and you get lower-value tenants – it becomes a downward spiral.” Mr McDonald said central Geelong could no longer support its existing businesses against regional shopping strips and centres. He fired a broadside at council, saying it lacked “business

thinkers”. “The council took out far too much angle parking in Ryrie Street and took out too many car parks with the entire CBD revitalisation. “We need more off-street parking. It needs to be put right, like Mercer Street was.” Ramsay’s Bakery owner Greg Costa said he invested in refurbishing his Malop Street premises

Stepping out: A variety of styles will feature in Short Circuit Dance.

BY ERIN PEARSON SEVENTY dancers will perform in Geelong’s fourth annual Short Circuit Dance this Friday. Short Circuit co-ordinator Georgina Capper said the audience could expect a “high energy, punchy night” featuring dancers from around the region and interstate. Geelong “legend” Sheree Nash would make a special appearance as well as internationally renowned tango dancers Adrienne and Andrew Gill, Ms Capper said. “We are so excited.” Council-funded arts group Short Circuit runs the dance event as well as separate annual music and theatre productions on behalf of community organisation Courthouse Arts. Ms Capper, who became Short Circuit’s co-ordinator after arriving in Geelong two years ago, said the dance production gave amateurs a chance to perform with professionals. “I was really ignorant of the arts world in Geelong when I first came down but there are so many dance and performance groups around - it’s just buzzing down here,” she said. “I’m really into the idea of emerging artists working alongside established practitioners to bridge that gap between training and learning, so this is a great way to do so.” “I’d really like this to be a move toward establishing a really supportive place for dancers to come to, to experience and try new things. The more you can rub shoulders with professionals the better and I really want Short Circuit to be a platform for that.” Short Circuit Dance is at Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

we can keep improving as more and more Geelong people leave their cars for trains into Melbourne.â&#x20AC;? Public Transport Users Association Geelong branch convenor Paul Westcott critisised the new timetable for failing to increase off-peak services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The previous Labor government had a policy to introduce 20minute off-peak services because at the moment theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only hourly.

ABC radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emma Ayres will compere Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier talent quest for young musicians next month. Ms Ayres said she was looking forward to Powercor Star Search on May 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Search is a wonderful opportunity for young performers because it gives them the chance to perform before a large audience at a major concert venue,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, on May 13, has a prize pool of $6500 for vocal and instrumental performers in group and solo competition. Organisers ran vocal auditions this week, with instrumental and group entries vying next week for a place in the grand final. Tickets for Star Search are available at Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

nal images and people get excited by those as well.” The 50 year-old association of amateur astronomers has its own observatory at Geelong Showgrounds clubrooms, using an eight-inch SchmidtCassegrain telescope on a computer-controlled mount. Frank described the telescope as general purpose but said members’ variety of gear included refractors and Newtonian telescopes on Dobsonian, German

Equatorial and Alt-Az mounts. “These are all different types of telescopes and mounts allowing us to take various views of the night sky.” Frank said club members were enthusiastic about answering questions and helping

astronomy converts set up their equipment. Frank believed the “incredibly difficult” field of astronomical photography was growing in popularity. “Members are getting great results,” he said.

“Periodically we’ll venture out as a group to our dark-sky site at Moranghurk homestead near Lethbridge. It gives us an opportunity to get away from the bright city lights and set up our gear. “This is a fantastic social outing that’s enjoyed by members and their families because the homestead is set on 459 hectares of land overlooking the Moorabool River.” Frank said the Geelong club had social meetings from 7.30pm every Friday at the showgrounds clubrooms. He said anyone wanting to contact the club could phone 0407 345 070, email geelongastronomy@yahoo.com.au or visit its website at home.vicnet.net.au/~asog.

THE GROWTH of interest in the heavens has been, well, astronomical. While doomsday predictions, Hollywood blockbusters, interest in UFOs and natural disasters have fuelled the fascination in astronomy, an underlying search for knowledge also plays its part. But Frank Baker, the president of Astronomical Society of Geelong Incorporated, said much misinformation and conjecture about astronomy was passed off as fact. “The media is always interested in spectacular events coming up. Sometimes an event like Haley’s Comet can create an influx of members,” Frank said. “The Hubble space telescope has given us phenome-

letters Doubtful values I THOUGHT I was reading a press release from the spinmeisters in Clown Hall. You can make any statistic look good if you just ignore or discount values that put your argument in doubt. Richard Jenkins of Opteon (Independent, April 15) might also have mentioned his business is closely associated with interests in property development, as anyone can see from his website. Readers might also consider the effect the capital inflow from China is having on real estate values and hurdle rates for investment. It isn’t rocket science. We’ll see what happens, won’t we, as leases come up for renewal. Kevin V Russell Geelong

Good for the goose I LISTENED to the Prime Minister’s speech about all Australians finding jobs and working to contribute their taxes to the health of the Australian economy. All Australians of working age have a duty to find work and to work hard to both bring up their families and to assist the country financially. I sincerely hope her live-in partner, Tim Mathieson, will set the example by seeking a job as well so that we taxpayers don’t have to keep paying for his lifestyle, his trips overseas and a new suit for

the royal wedding. Bob Dare Portarlington

Mayor vote rejected SEVERAL times David Morris MP has publicly stated that Geelong citizens gave the Baillieu Government their thumbs up for a directly elected mayor, citing the coalition election win. This is incorrect. Had Geelong citizens wanted a directly elected mayor the Ballieu Government would have secured all seats in the municipality rather than just one. What an outstanding rejection of the proposed directly elected mayor! Committee for Geelong and the chief of the city’s chamber of commerce have both stated it won’t cost a packet to run for mayor. Facts dispel this statement. A once-only distribution of candidate election material would cost $165,000, with postage costs alone to eligible voters of $50,000 plus the cost of the envelopes. David Morris said the majority of people who spoke to him at his listening posts were in favour of a directly elected mayor. Not so - many who spoke to him were against a directly elected mayor and questioned the right of State Government to enforce this pre-election promise, which excluded them from having a say. The cost to Victorian Electoral Commission from carrying out the requisite mail out to all eligible voters will be double the usual cost with general candi-

date ballot papers plus ballots for the directly elected mayor. Who picks up the cost? Geelong ratepayers. Well done, Libs, you have shot yourselves in the foot. Sandra Camm Highton

Mayoral musing SOME 40 of us attended a meeting on the question of a popularly elected mayor for Geelong, called by the Local Government Minister. The questions put to us were whether the mayor alone or the mayor and deputy as a team should be candidates in direct election and whether they might also be able to stand as councillors. The discussion paper included these questions and little else. The clear answer from the floor was for the mayor alone and that candidates should be free to stand additionally as ward councillors. Geelong Chamber of Commerce and Committee for Geelong stated strong support for a directly elected mayor without giving reasons. Both bodies might see an interest in having a businessman in charge of municipal affairs. This raises questions over possible discord between the mayor and separately appointed councillors. The minister, in stating the public election of Geelong’s mayor was an election promise, seemed little aware that only one Liberal candidate was returned in Geelong. He had not considered nor resolved the obvious problem of how funding for a

mayoral campaign might be curbed, how mayoral terms might relate to council or whether the minister could dismiss both mayor and councillors simultaneously in the case of misconduct as under the current Local Government Act. The meeting expressed genuine doubts on the value of separate election of the mayor. Since a promise of funding for Geelong Hospital had been broken, why was the commitment to an elected mayor so unshakable? Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Volunteers thanked AS WE prepare to celebrate both World Red Cross Day and International Volunteers Week in May I would like to thank our many Red Cross volunteers. Our community-based volunteer network and workforce reaches around 30 million people each year during disasters alone and even more through community development initiatives that reach vulnerable people each day. Red Cross volunteers and staff are always among the first on the ground to assist individuals, households and communities affected by disasters and emergencies. Readers wanting to learn about the work of Red Cross volunteers or to support the work of Red Cross with donations can go to www.redcross.org.au or phone 1800 811 700.

ANNUAL WEDDING EXPO

WE ARE standing on a planet that has 1.08 quadrillion cubic kilometres of molten rock ranging from 1400C near to the surface to 6000C at the core. Our planet has 1.29 billion cubic kilometres of ocean but an atmosphere of only .00008 per cent of the planet’s volume. Of that, carbon dioxide is .04 percent, to which humans contribute almost four per cent. Yet we are told the gas we produce will be taxed because it is controlling our climate. What rubbish! It is impossible for four carbon dioxide atoms to influence 90,000 atmosphere atoms enough to change the world’s climate. Carbon dioxide can absorb infrared warmth from the Sun but cannot increase its temperature from the Sun’s initial energy and cannot rise to great heights, either. Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen, so why are carbon dioxide atoms shown rising on TV when they should be under our feet? Readers should see the light and strengthen their attitudes against a carbon tax. It is fraud and this can be proven, too, with the knowledge of pure science. Ask any student who has completed a science degree and they will tell you humans cannot possibly be responsible for changing climate temperatures. We produce over 40,000 parts per million of carbon dioxide as we breath out and the atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide was over 1000 parts per million some 40,000 years ago yet here we are today. Was there an industrial revolution then? Thomas TS Watson Bell Post Hill

THIS carbon tax will be the beginning of the end for the Labor party. Getting the dirty deed done, as Labor MPs are urging, will not help because the political pollution of higher prices and lost jobs will hang around forever. The political fallout and stench from this Gillard broken promise will not just blow away like a radioactive cloud because there will be no relief for the hip-pocket nerve of struggling families on main street. This is what the trendy left chattering class just don’t get because its members are typically all overfed from the public trough in one form or another. Moreover, once people come to the realisation the carbon tax will not lower global warming, which isn’t happening anyway, by a fraction of a degree the political fallout will be even more profound. Yes, bring it on, Julia, and the next election as well so people power can have its say to Labor, the Greens and the two loopy independents from New South Wales. Brian Handley Geelong

Lurid Graney BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S rock underground is drawing interstate bands to the city, according to Aussie rock legend Dave Graney. “Around the Geelong area there seems to be this cult of garage rock with young teens, which is quite unique,” he said. “We’ve met a lot of young people around from Geelong and we’re going to be supported in Geelong by a local young garage band, The Murlocs. “We’re really looking forward to it.” Graney and his band, The Lurid Yellow Mist, will play in Geelong while touring new album Rock ‘n’ Roll Is Where I Hide. Graney said the release of “vintage classics re-recorded” marked a change in direction after 24 albums. “We’ve always been quite experimental in the ways we express our music. We’ve done everything from solo and R n B tracks to studio tracks and rock numbers. “I think we were just confusing people with what we did, so we really wanted to focus on what we enjoy performing the most this time around. “They’re our own kind of classics.” Graney said the songs would take listeners through a “kind of

Classics: Dave Graney and The Lurid Yellow Mist. journey”. “This album is the sound of our collective, our band, Dave Graney and the Lurid Yellow Mist. The songs are us.” Graney and drummer wife Clare Moore have played together in various bands over the past 30 years. Graney admitted that recording the new album was “quite a challenge” compared to 30 years ago. “A day in a recording studio 20 years ago was far more expensive and you could only afford one or

two days,” he said. “That made it hard financially but it made it a real event. Now you can fiddle around forever on a computer but lose that sense of time and place, so we went into studio and had a plan where we wanted to do it all together to get the excitement of being in the one place. “I call it our third debut album – it feels like that.” Graney and the Lurid Yellow Mist will play at The Bended Elbow on May 5.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush an 11 x 21cm (base measurement) loaf pan with melted dairy spread to lightly grease. Line the base and 2 opposite sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang. Sift the combined flours and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre. Place the milk, eggs, melted butter and banana in a medium bowl, and stir until well combined. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve.

Work vans can still have style BY EWAN KENNEDY MERCEDES-BENZ has given its Vito range of vans a thorough makeover for the 2011 model year. Though there has been a big emphasis on new engines and safety features, what surprised us most was the upmarket appearance of these light commercials. Obviously the Mercedes designers have asked themselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who says a Mercedes van canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share styling features with sports models in our range?â&#x20AC;? OK, no one is going to mistake a Mercedes-Benz Vito for an Mercedes AMG SLS Gullwing, or even an entry-level C-Class sedan for that matter. But if you look at the shape of the Vito vanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radiator grille, front guards and headlights, as well as the raised centre section of the bonnet you will see a strong touch of sporting flair. Behind the windscreen the fun stops and the business end of the van takes precedence. Which is as it should be, after all the primary aim of any commercial vehicle is to make money. Cargo volume, width, loading height and ease of loading must take precedence over stylistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desires and the Mercedes guys got Vito right the first time and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfered with the original. On the subject of making money, operators will be delighted to see that the continuing strong value of the Australian dollar, combined with some pencil sharpening back in the head office in Germany, has allowed Mercedes-Benz Australia to trim

$2000 from the price of several models. The Aussie Mercedes people are keen to take sales from Asian van manufacturers so are hitting them on the value for money front. Under the shapely new Mercedes bonnet is a choice of new generation four-cylinder turbo-diesel engines that produce 70, 100 or 120 kilowatts. More important are the torque figures, respectively these are: 250Nm between 1200 and 2400rpm; 310Nm 1400 to 2600rpm; and 360Nm from 1600 to 2400revs. All the engines meet the tough Euro 5 emission regulations. To assist in reducing fuel consumption the engines feature a stop-start function that automatically switches the engines off when the Vito is stationary. However, we disagree with Mercedesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision not to have this system operating unless the driver chooses to switch it on. We feel it should always be there, but that the driver has the option of turning it off when they feel driving conditions dictate. During our road testing as part of this review we found the fourcylinder diesels to be strong and responsive and to pull the Vito along without a murmur. A 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine is available in some versions, its outputs are 165 kW of power and 440 Nm of torque. This big power engine is mated with a five-speed automatic transmission and is popular with the ambulance and police services for obvious reasons. All versions of the new Mercedes-Benz have achieved at

least four stars (out of five) in crash testing to Australian standards. The topline Vito wagon, which is virtually a small bus, has the maximum of five stars. Some versions of the Vito can be optioned up with extra airbags to push them up to five stars, we suggest you contact your Mercedes-Benz dealer for details on the specific models you are considering. Phillip Island racetrack was used during the press launch of the new Mercedes-Benz Vito range. Which may sound improbable, but it gave us the chance to drive on the skid pan to assess the multiple situations in which active safety systems can help a driver stay out of trouble. Nature obliged by providing rain so we were able to utilise the complete track. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sports machine, but the Mercedes Vito can handle heavy braking, swerving. Mercedes-Benz Vito has been on the Australian market since 2004 and has gained in popularity with each passing year. This has been chiefly due to its commercial advantages, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt the prestige of travelling with a three-pointed star on the grille also has its place in buyer choice. The major changes we have just described, probably supplemented by minor modifications in the next few years, will see the Mercedes Vito range through to the end of its life in 2015 when an all-new model is scheduled to be released.

Trendy: Mercedes adds verve and value to Vito.

BY ERIC BLAIR THE DEMISE of the Mitsubishi 380 midway through 2008 not only marked the end of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local production, it also made the mid-sized Lancer the Japanese companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest passenger car. Although smaller than the 380, Lancer is still larger than average for its class. So, in these days of rapidly climbing fuel prices, many buyers are finding that a Lancer meets their needs as a family machine. Unless the kids are at the giantteenage stage owners are telling us the Lancer is large enough suit their needs. Mitsubishi stylists have given it a heavily sculpted nose that slants forwards rather than backwards. The lower air dam shape works nicely, as do the bold bonnet

creases flowing into the A-pillars. The rising beltline swooping over flared wheel arches complements these, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a touch of pout to the bootlid. The angles of the tail-lights add to the stance, while the squared planes of the rear bumper are tapered around the sides to visually shorten the overhang. Stability and traction controls are fitted to all models. These monitor and correct a loss of balance or traction, so have been in the media spotlight for their ability to help drivers avoid crashes. There has been debate over whether they should become a mandatory safety feature, Mitsubishi Australia has already made them so in the Lancer. To reduce the need for ESP and multiple airbags, Mitsubishi Australia has also specified antilock disc brakes with brakeforce

distribution and brake assist. Mitsubishiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Lancer currently comes only as a four-door sedan, but a five-door hatchback is on the way next year. The 2.0-litre engine produces 113 kW of power at 6000 rpm, and 198 Nm of torque at 4250 revs. Typically the engine will use about seven to nine litres per hundred kilometres on motorways and in gentle cruising on flattish roads. Around town this is likely to rise to nine to eleven litres per hundred. These are good numbers for a family car with good interior volume. Lancer VRX comes with a larger, 2.4-litre, four-cylinder engine. Lancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combination of style, interior space and performance is complemented by sharp pricing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attracting plenty of buyer interest.

aintless dent repair service Dents R Us specialises in fixing up those little bumps and knocks no matter how big or small. 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 now been operating in Geelong for nine months, but Scott has been in the automotive body industry for 27 years. 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 the repair work 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 or visit www.dentsrus.com.au .

sport Reborn Tigers threaten Lara GEELONG Football League plays the completion of round three this weekend, with the stand-out game to be played at Burdoo Reserve between Grovedale and Lara. Grovedale has surprised many with its good performances in the first two games of the year. A close loss to St Mary’s was followed by a good win over St Albans. Many had pencilled in the Tigers as wooden-spooners but new coach Grant Tanner has found something we couldn’t see. Irish import Ross Wherity has taken to our game in spectacular fashion and is a driving force, while Brenton Riordan, Nathan Martin and Linton Hogan are also getting plenty of the ball. Lara has played two hard games first up and has one win and one loss. Jackson Hollmer, Mitchell Day and Kane Smith are in fine touch and should be able to just get the Cats over the line in a tough match. Other selections: Newtown v LEOPOLD, BELL PARK v St Albans, ST MARY’S v North Shore and WEST SAINTS v Colac.

BFL Geelong Amateurs has had its worst start to the season in over seven years and things won’t get

Local Footy FRANK MASON any easier this weekend with Torquay coming to Queen’s Park to take on Ammos. Ammos have only one win out of three games. A look through the side reveals quality players in Damien Zaperenkov, Travis Robertson, Adam Wilkinson and Richard Kangers but the results are not good. Torquay has two wins out of three but that loss was to the lowly Barwon Heads last weekend. It can always rely on Troy Bird, Jace Kelly, Brent Christie and Adam Bird to give a good account of themselves. Torquay holds a few grudges against Ammos after receiving thumpings over the past five seasons and will be seeking revenge. And revenge it will get because the Tigers will be too strong. Other selections: Drysdale v ANGLESEA, Newcomb v OCEAN GROVE, Barwon Heads

v QUEENSCLIFF and MODEWARRE v Portarlington.

GDFL Geelong and District Football League sides will be fresh and raring to go after having last weekend off. The big question in league circles is what’s going wrong out at Bannockburn. The Tigers have only one win on the board after three rounds and things are looking shaky. On Saturday they host North Geelong out at Victoria Park and another loss will make it very hard for the Tigers to make the finals. On paper Bannockburn looks just as strong as last year when it played finals. The likes of Leigh Perkins, Brett Harding, Ross Dillon and Aaron Eddy are still good footballers but the side is yet to gel. North Geelong has two wins on the board and key forward Paul Breguet firing. The Schwennesen boys are in everything along with Jordan Heis and Luke Van Kreiken. Other selections: Winchelsea v WERRIBEE CENTRALS, Thomson v INVERLEIGH, BELL POST HILL v Geelong West, EAST GEELONG v Corio and Belmont Lions v ANAKIE.

In tuna: Jim Hynds with a 22kg bluefin tuna from Portland.

Easter blessing for holiday anglers ANGLERS were blessed with fantastic fishing over the Easter break, with great captures from both fresh and saltwater. Bluefin tuna and albacore had the most interest, with Portland remaining a focus but closer-by Apollo Bay producing the really big fish. The big barrel tuna of over 100kg have been harassing baitfish, with anglers working out that locating seals also reveals the bait and consequently the massive tuna. Skirted lures have been working but it’s hard to go past the big, bibbed Rapala X Rap 20s and 30s. To add some extra interest over Easter, dolphin fish to 10kg were landed at Portland along with any number of smaller bluefin around 20kg and albacore were also in numbers, with fish in as close as the 60-metre line. Surf anglers found salmon in many locations, with lures clearly outfishing bait. Grey River and the Apollo Bay side of Sheoaks River produced fish nudging 2kg, while Stony Creek, near Lorne, fired up with plenty of fish to just over 1kg. Joel Sharp made the walk in under Cinema Point where salmon were working bait in hard against the rocks. A fish a cast was the result for over two hours on high tide. Breamlea and Jan Juc beaches were quieter, with bait anglers dominating on fish to 1.5kg. Shane Peters was using soft plastics when he found salmon working the face of The Rip, although most were around 900g. However, Shane had a surprise when what he thought was a larger salmon turned out to be a 3.1kg kingfish.

On the bite BRIAN LONG Silver trevally were present in the cut at Queenscliff, with anglers such as Terry Holt and Luke Carruthers having no trouble catching their share on soft plastics, especially Turtleback worms and curl-tail grubs. Swan Bay’s entrance returned a mix bag, with David Dean literally having fish leaping into his boat when salmon harassed garfish out of the water. David used some gars for bait to catch two nice gummy shark along with around a dozen quality salmon. Whiting were taken from many areas, with St Leonards to Edwards Point producing fish over 40cm on a variety of baits. Harry Stirling fished the shallow grass beds off Edwards Point where he found plenty of squid. Most were small but he kept them alive in a bait tank while upgrading to larger catches, eventually keeping 10 around 1kg each. Harry said the best jig was a black Yo Zuri. Some fantastic snapper to over 7kg were boated in 20m off Portarlington using fresh squid baits. Werribee’s Noel McMahon trolled the area over Easter with downriggers, catching numerous fish to 5.2kg. Trevor Sharp fished in close to Point Lillias where he found plenty of whiting. Nailing his

bag limit on two outings Trevor found the fish at their best on the run-up to high tide. Anglers who drifted Corio Bay’s outer-harbour spoil grounds using soft plastics continued finding snapper and quality flathead. Don Small found salmon working the bait again in Stingaree Bay. Don cast lures into the frenzy to catch and release around 30 fish to almost 2kg. Salmon were also caught at St Helens, North Shore and just out from the entrance to the grammar school lagoon. North Shore rocks yielded snapper to 3kg on pilchard and squid. Soft plastics anglers caught snapper, flathead and salmon on four-inch Turtleback worms. In freshwater, the Barwon River produced brown trout to just over 1kg on lures, while redfin were nailed on both lure and live baits such as minnow and worms. Lake Elingamite yielded redfin to 2kg along with some awesome trout nudging 3kg. Powerbait was effective on trout averaging almost 1kg at Lake Bullen Merri, although the best fish was a 2.9kg specimen taken trolled on a Tassie Devil in the pink colour number 55. Purrumbete also produced trout taken on mudeye and lures but anglers using ice jigs caught plenty of redfin to 700g. Wurdee Boluc Reservoir fished well for brown and rainbow trout to 2kg along with some huge redfin also nudging 2kg. Bait anglers found worm and mudeye best.

Good Guys show heart

$10,000 ‘spree’ prize oss Parke The Good Guys is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the chance for a lucky shopper to win a $10,000 shopping spree. Shoppers making purchases during the birthday celebrations will go into a draw to win the major prize – The Good Guys shopping extravaganza. Owner Ross Parke says his staff are excited about the milestone. “Ten years goes really quick,” he says. “We’d like to thank everyone in Geelong and the wider region for supporting us. We’ve grown over the past three or four years in particular and The Good Guys’ brand has been successfully instilled in Geelong. “We work hard daily to make sure the bargains are there for our loyal customers.” Ross says he is proud of the store’s commitment to community causes. “Our community involvement has been important to us, helping the community

The Good Guys team is celebrating its 10th birthday with a $10,000 shopping spree competition.

where we can.” Ross Parke The Good Guys supports Give Where You Live, formerly United Way, as well as Handbrake Turn and Neighborhood Watch. The Good Guys is a co-founding project partner in the first Australian Jamie’s Ministry of Food, supporting renowned TV

chef Jamie Oliver’s healthy eating initiative. Ross says The Good Guys Geelong is inviting customers to donate a percentage from their in-store transactions to help support Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia. “This will assist community organisation, The Good Guys Foundation, to open more centres and to encourage people in local communities across Australia to adopt healthier eating habits and to start cooking,” he says. Ross is feeling confident of the future in Geelong, especially with amazing new products becoming available. “The new range of 2011 Samsung TVs, including the top of the range Smart TVs, are now in-store,” he says. “The Samsung Smart TV takes connectivity to a whole new level with an expanded range of content-sourcing features and is tipped to set a new benchmark for Internetenabled TVs.”

oss Parke and his team at The Good Guys Geelong have 50,000 reasons to smile after raising over $50,000 for local charitable organisations as part of their store’s Local Giving Program. The Good Guys Local Giving Program is aimed at putting some good back into the local community by supporting essential programs, services and projects at a grassroots level. As part of the unique community program that invites customers to have their say by voting in-store, The Good Guys Geelong has supported local initiatives from Hand Brake Turn, Very Special Kids, Give Where You Live Geelong and is also working with Jamie Oliver to bring his Ministry of

Food to Australia. Ross Parke, proprietor of The Good Guys Geelong, said that customers are an integral part of the Local Giving Program. “Each time you purchase an item in store we’ll give you a heartshaped token that can be used to vote for your preferred charity,” Ross said. “The charities we support will then receive a donation depending on the percentage of votes each has received.” Launched in November, 2006, the Local Giving Program has raised over $3.5 million across Australia as an initiative of The Good Guys Foundation. More information is available at www.thegoodguys.com.au/geelong.

Commitment to community service

Brittany, 11, and Olivia, 12, help Ross Parke and Andrew King celebrate The Good Guys 10th anniversary in Geelong. Andrew says. “We found that kids were fundraising, doing volunteer work for the underprivileged and even going around to grandma’s place

to put bins out and mow lawns. “These kids needed recognition.” The success of the Good Kid award led to the program going state-wide. Andrew now considers Ross a lifelong friend. “Ross has his heart in the right spot as far as the community’s concerned. If you’d asked me before I met Ross I would have been surprised a businessman would be so generous and honest but now I understand where he was coming from. “He’s very community minded.” The Good Kid awards ran in Geelong from 2003 to 2007, rewarding around 20 children with prizes including iPods, digital cameras and stereo systems.

To Ross and staff at Ross Parke The Good Guys, congratulations on this wonderful achievement of 10 years trading and service to the Geelong community. We at Glen Dimplex wish you many more years of continued success and prosperity. 507636-SAH18-11

ommunity service has always been part of Ross Parke’s life.
