Eye on crime: Acting Sergeant Matthew Sims uses iFace at Geelong Police Station. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 58101
Police using ‘world-first’ face-recognition technology
‘Nowhere to hide’ BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG police are using “world-first” face-recognition technology to catch criminals, according to leading city officers. They said the high-tech equipment would save police hours scrounging through pages of suspect photos to match criminals with crimes. The iFace program allows police to match digital photo-
graphs with surveillance camera footage to quickly identify suspects at the click of a button. Acting Sergeant Matthew Sims said the station had been using the iFace program for three months in the lead up to a state-wide roll out of the technology. “Police will be able to find CCTV footage, run it though iFace system and match up the offender to someone who is
already on the Victoria Police database,” he said. “We get a lot of CCTV footage but unless police know who it is on the tape we have a hard time finding out who they are.” Sgt Sims said iFace matched facial features such as eyes and hair lines from the digital and surveillance images to identify suspects. “It’s like what we’ve all been watching on television shows
such as NCIS.” Sgt Sims said Geelong police were now taking photos of all people taken into custody at the station and uploading the images onto the digital database for crosschecking with iFace. More than 800,000 photos were already in the iFace database, he said. Victoria Police has now implemented iFace at 260 stations

Woodworkers club a stroke of good luck for Geoff BY ERIN PEARSON A LIFE-THREATENING stroke has immersed Hamlyn Heights’ Geoff Anderson in a world of timber shavings and tools. He credits the health scare with introducing him to Bellarine Woodworkers group, which now occupies him for “hours” each week building and restoring toys for disadvantaged children. Now Mr Anderson and other group members will put their skills on show in an exhibition at Queenscliff in the new year. “I needed to do something with my life after I was rehabilitated and I decided to get into woodwork,” he said. “I’d never done woodwork before but the group’s support enabled me to keep going. I couldn’t do the work I do now without the support of members.” With 85 members and a history dating back 30 years, Bellarine Woodworkers has produced toys for groups including Noah’s Ark, Drysdale Kindergarten, Queenscliff’s Cottage by the Sea and the Salvation Army. “The group is particularly good for people who have retired and are unsure of what to do,” Mr Anderson said. He was proud of the impact of the group’s gifts on their young recipients. “One little disabled girl could only lift her arms up and down, so we made her a movable golliwog on strings,” he smiled. Mr Anderson said 418 pieces would feature at the clubs 19th annual fundraiser. The exhibition will run 10am to 5pm from January 1 to 3 at Queenscliff’s Uniting Church Hall.
Upgrade closer STATE and federal governments have signed a $220 million contract to start work on the duplication of the Princes Highway between Geelong and Winchelsea, according to a joint statement. The governments said work was now underway to begin the 23-kilometre project next year, with the finish date some time in 2014.
Trail call THE REGION would reap a financial windfall if it could convince council and governments to spend about $2 million to seal the rest of the Bellarine Rail Trail, according to a tourism consultant. Enjoy Inspire Consulting’s Darren McClelland said the region should form an “alliance” to call for the project after university researchers found that riders on a sealed Murray to Mountain Rail Trail spent on average about $85 a day more than other visitors.
Art city ARTISTS have moved into six city shops in a bid to revitalise central Geelong, according to the program’s director. Kay Saunders said nine traders were participating in the heART in the cityY program, with artists to display their creations and appear “in residence” on Friday afternoons to discuss their works with shoppers.

Call for beauty over ‘just something big’
Angel ‘inspiring’ icon BY ANDREW MATHIESON A CULTURAL landmark in one of Britain’s industrial cities is inspiring Geelong’s leaders to develop a new city icon. The Angel of the North, nearly 17,000kms away in England’s northwest, has transformed Newcastle upon Tyne’s tired, old image. Committee for Geelong’s Peter Dorling said the 20-metre-high angel, with a 54-metre wingspan, could provide better inspiration for the city’s search for its own icon rather than a traditional Australian oversized landmark. The Independent reported last week
that Geelong Professional Alliance Network would officially launch in the new year a competition to design an “icon” for the city, with a cash prize worth thousands of dollars. Mr Dorling said the Angel of the North stood in a city with a manufacturing past similar to Geelong. Newcastle’s civic leaders were proud the contemporary steel structure “fit the psyche” of their vision for the city, he said. “They were quite adamant that it was a message to the community that they were heading down a cultural track. “There are subliminal messages
behind icon projects and that is what we would hope this competition would give - some serious thought rather than just building something big.” Mr Dorling said the Icon for Geelong competition should produce a landmark that reflected “the cultural and social vision of Geelong in the future”. “We would hope the icon doesn’t get a bit silly, with the big Cat or the big football,” he said. Geelong Chamber of Commerce executive officer Bernadette Uzelac said building a huge statue or landmark just for the sake of it would be
like “putting the cart before the horse”. Elaine Carbines, the chief of regional councils alliance body G21, said a Geelong icon should be “visually stunning, architecturally challenging and beautiful”. She hoped Geelong’s cultural precinct could house the icon. “I think that, just as Federation Square works so beautifully in Melbourne, it’s an opportunity to really design a functional building that could be a destination in its own right through such a competition as this. I’m hoping this would be in the mix as well.”
A NATIONAL service has urged women in the Geelong region with post-natal depression to phone a new free phone help line. Post and Antenatal Depression Association said the counselling and information service was available at 1300 726 306.
Your newspaper back in new year THE INDEPENDENT will take a two-week break over the Christmas and new year period before returning on January 7. Managing editor Tony Galpin said the region’s highest-circulating community newspaper was looking forward to a bright 2011 after a year of success in 2010. “As a Victorian family-owned newspaper, the Indy truly is an independent source of news and information for the community,” Mr Galpin said. “We thank all of our readers and advertisers in Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast for their invaluable support and feedback in 2010. We look forward to supplying an even better paper in 2011. “Merry Christmas from all at the Independent.”
Warning of ‘rage’ amid bypass confusion
Dangerous: Pete and Rachel Muldoon at the “confusing” intersection. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 58243 “I’m not sure much can be done about the amount of traffic but at least if everyone knew what lane they had to be in earli-
er it would stop some of the frustration, accidents and road rage.” Ward councillor Andy Richards demanded action on the intersection. “This is a VicRoads and State Government issue and it’s incumbent on them to make sure holiday traffic does not pour through our community again,” he said. “There should be a traffic police presence at the intersection on Boxing Day and other busy days.” VicRoads project director Tony Hedley agreed motorists experienced “congestion” during “peak times” last year. “Traffic around the network including Geelong ring road, Princes Highway and Anglesea Road will be monitored and traffic signals adjusted as needed to help maximise peak flows,” he said. VicRoads had three recorded “incidents” at the intersection, one of which resulted in “minor injuries”.

BY KIM WATERS A CONFUSING intersection at the southern end of Geelong’s ring road is sparking “road rage” among motorists, according to nearby residents. Grovedale’s Rachel Muldoon predicted another festive season of accidents and anger as motorists tried to negotiate a convergence of heavy traffic at the intersection. “At the Rossack Drive entrance at the end of the road it’s hard to see which lane goes where and there’s often a lot of confusion and road rage,” Mrs Muldoon said. “During the holiday the road is a nightmare to drive on and can be banked up from the Highton exit all the way to Waurn Ponds.” Mrs Muldoon said she witnessed incidents of road rage from frustrated drivers last Christmas.

Blitzes ‘target road dangers’ BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Police will launch a series of road blitzes to weed out careless drivers over the holiday season, the city’s top cop has warned. Inspector Garry Thompson said drink driving and speeding would be at the “forefront” of road policing across the region and state. “People need to take their time, plan and double plan to stay safe over the holiday period,” he said. “Drivers need to be aware of the changes in road conditions, the amount of traffic on the road, weather conditions, their speed and their non-familiarity with certain areas. “They can’t say they haven’t been warned. We will be out in full force.”
Geelong Police Senior Sergeant Shane Coles, a road policing advisor, said crackdowns on bad road behaviour in the past 12 months had helped cut Geelong’s serious road accident injuries from 331 in 2008/2009 to 157 in 2009/2010. Geelong’s council has joined the road safety push with an appeal for drivers to take care over the holiday period. Councillor Eddy Kontelj urged motorists to obey speed limits while driving responsibly. He said a fleet of electronic speed advisory trailers would target motorists with warning messages in “trouble spots” around Geelong’s northern suburbs. “Speed humps have been installed in Wilks and Glengate streets in Hamlyn Heights, line
markings and signs have been renewed at several intersections and many residential streets and roads in the ward are currently being monitored for speed-related issues,” he said. Police have also launched a crackdown on festive season violence. The crackdown included police across Australian and New Zealand joining forces on the weekend in a trans-Tasman operation targeting alcohol-related violence. Insp Thompson said Operation Unite would continue in Geelong throughout the holiday period. He said police arrested more than 130 people in September and visited 687 pubs, clubs and bars, detecting 54 licensing breaches, as part of operation Unite.

Wharf ‘slips out of public hands’
Pulse of live music on air over summer forming live on air was influencing them to play “the best they’ve ever played”. Members of The Rustys, who performed last week, said the series was helping them hone their act. “You’ve always got to try a bit harder on air, be more focused,” said guitarist and lead vocalist Beau Torrance. “We’re definitely lucky to get involved.” Ms Suiter said The Pulse wanted to hear from other acts interested in participating in future live broadcasts. The Pulse broadcasts the concerts from 6pm to 8pm on 94.7FM.

Henderson coy over bid for Corangamite
Sarah Henderson
BY KIM WATERS FAILED Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson has refused to rule out another bid for the marginal federal seat of Corangamite. Ms Henderson said any decision on whether to contest the next election would be “too premature” but suggested she was biding her time. “My criticism of Labor is indicative of the fact that I want to remain very involved and continue to be a strong voice for what needs to be improved in our community.”
With Labor holding a minority government many political pundits have predicted an early federal election. But Ms Henderson believed Australia had a “long way to go” before the next federal election, despite some commentators tipping a poll earlier than the full-term agreed between Labor, the Greens and independents. She expected the Liberals to run preselection for Corangamite in about 18 months. “I haven’t made up my mind but I think any decision about
running for preselection is some way off for me.” Ms Henderson beat Labor MP Darren Cheeseman on firstpreference votes at this year’s federal election but lost after distribution of preferences. “I’m keen to play my part because I’m really passionate about various issues but there’s no doubt we received overwhelming support in Corangamite from the majority of electors. “What I’m happy to say is that, while I don’t give up easily on anything I set my mind on, at this stage I haven’t made
COUNCILLORS have “thrown out” plans to keep Queenscliff’s wharf in public hands, according to a council spokesperson. The Borough of Queenscliffe spokesperson said councillors failed to back colleague David Mitchell’s proposal to stop Parks Victoria redeveloping the wharf “precinct” for the town’s harbour operator. A report to council said Parks Victoria planned to spend $1.8 million to make the rundown wharf “useable”. A public meeting in October backed retaining the wharf if taxpayers’ money was used to restore it, the agenda said. Member for Western Victoria David Koch has previously labelled Parks Victoria’s wharf plan “ludicrous”. He said Parks Victoria wanted to use “taxpayers’ money” to build car parking on the site for Queenscliff Harbour, “a private…consortium”.
NO DEBT..! ... it’s what we all want..! Want to pay off your unsecured debts at NO INTEREST?
a decision.” Ms Henderson said she would “play a part” in holding the region’s Labor MPs to their election promises. “I’ll certainly continue to stay involved and speak out on certain issues,” she said, “I intend to play a part in holding the Government accountable and continue to be a strong voice on the issues I’m passionate about and believe in.” Ms Henderson said maintaining an opposition voice on federal issues in the region was “very important”.

Theft ‘spikes’ in east of city
Spike: Police officer Andrew King and John Birrell promote the message for car owners to keep valuables out of sight. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 58245
BY ERIN PEARSON A SPIKE in thefts from cars around Geelong’s eastern suburbs has prompted a warning for motorists to lock their cars over the holiday season, according to police. Inspector Garry Thompson said car owners must remain “vigilant” to avoid joinging the ranks of car owners who were the victims of the recent thefts. Insp Thompson said police had detected a 30 per cent increase in thefts from cars in East Geelong and Newcomb in the past few weeks. “It’s enough for us on a preventative scale to contact our Neighbourhood Watch people,” he said. “People still aren’t getting the message. People need to not only lock their cars but remove valuables from site.” Insp Thompson said thieves were targeting high-tech gadgets. “Laptops, iPods and GPS devices continue to be left in view and then car owners wonder why they’ve been stolen.” Possessions stored in clear view inside older cars were at higher risk of theft even if the vehicles were locked, the inspector said.
“The age of the car can make a difference. These days manufacturers are aware of the risks and are installing things like keyless entry to help reduce incidences (of theft),” he said. “With older cars, coat hangers and screwdrivers are often used to gain entry into a car. “People need to remove valuables from site because we don’t want car owners to come back to smashed windows.” Insp Thompson said police were also concerned about thefts from houses over the Christmas period. “Because it’s the festive season people are putting presents under the tree, in front of a window, visible to people walking past. It’s a real security issue, “he said. “If you are going to put presents out for the family, make sure it’s only your family that can see them. It’s very similar to the problems we see with people not removing items from cars. “There’s nothing worse than a nonSanta turning up to your house over Christmas and stealing your presents.” Insp Thompson urged residents to consider the risks in leaving items unattended and in view of potential thieves.
Port ‘on own’ in battle to save swimming pool Ms Brown suggested council subsidise the pool owner’s maintenance costs to keep the facility open. “Even if they could reduce the land tax or come in and mow the lawns around the pool or something would help us so much.” In a statement to the Independent ward councillor John Doull described the pool as an “important” community facility. Cr Doull did not answer questions about whether council would consider financial support to keep the pool open. He said he “encouraged” residents to support the facility. “This is the best way to ensure the facility’s ongoing operation,” Cr Doull said. “Council recognises the importance of aquatic centres to local communities. “We take a strategic perspective on the provision of these important facilities and for this reason the Bellarine Aquatic Facility was developed to provide these services across the Bellarine community.”

BY KIM WATERS COUNCIL has left residents on their own in the fight to save Portarlington’s pool, according to a facility supervisor. Fiona Brown said she was “not surprised” council refused to commit funding to “save” the privatelyowned facility. The Independent revealed last week that the pool’s Melbournebased owner promised to keep the facility open “for now” but staff feared the pool faced a bleak future. Residents called on council to “step in” and fund pool maintenance or lease the facility to prevent it closing. Ms Brown believed Portarlington was “missing out” on council-funded facilities like Bellarine Aquatic Centre in Ocean Grove. “Those places have all the mod cons and everything but poor, old towns like Portarlington are left without any facilities or funding,” she said. “Council spends money on areas with big populations and the ones down the other end of the rung, like us, don’t even have a service station.”

buckets & bouquets BOUQUETS to Spiro of Manifold Heights. My elderly father fell in the street and Spiro not only came to his aid but put him in his car and drove him home to me. Merry Christmas, Spiro. Rod, Geelong West
BUCKETS to the low-life who stole all but three of our solar-powered garden lights from our Christmas display. You have ruined the spirit of Christmas not only for my children but for others who stop to look at our display. Very Angry, Norlane
BOUQUETS to all the wonderful volunteers who worked so hard at Whittington Family Christmas Fair. Without the energy and commitment of community volunteers events such as the fair would be impossible. Mary, Whittington
BUCKETS to the drunks who choose to use a central Geelong business doorway as a urinal. Workers are forced to dodge a sticky, stinking mess on Mondays until the unfortunate building cleaner has arrived. How would you like it if we did the same at your front door? Peed Off, Drumcondra
BUCKETS to gaming venues for banning patrons for life over reasons too trivial to mention. The management and owners are obviously too stupid to realise their business will lose money with fewer customers. They need a refresher course in public relations. Keith, Corio BOUQUETS to the kind person who found cat Zac on Ballarat Road and took him to North Geelong Veterinary Clinic. He was a much-loved companion of the residents and staff at McKellar Centre’s Wallace Lodge. We were able to bring him home for burial in his beloved garden. Lynne Furness, McKellar Centre BUCKETS to a venue that would have hosted a good show if paying patrons had been able to see let alone hear it due to people allowed in front. Our family went as a tribute to my deceased nine-year-old daughter who loved the music of the featured performer. Disappointed, Highton BOUQUETS to the numerous friends, staff and customers of Safeway for all their lovely cards, letters, phone calls and concern for Colin and I. Bouquets also to the wonderful ambulance officers who were there for Colin. Jenny, Grovedale BOUQUETS to the principal and staff of Lara Primary School for a wonderful graduation night. The children entertained with a production of Grease featuring unbelievable singing, dancing and acting. Grandma And Friend, Bell Post Hill
BOUQUETS to enthusiastic gardening volunteer Trish and dedicated Timehelp volunteers Maggie, Margaret and Simon. Your commitment and hard work at Ashby Primary School are really appreciated by students, parents and staff. You have made a difference. Ashby Admirers, Geelong West BUCKETS to a couple who didn’t clean up after their dog after it relieved itself on White’s Beach. My family and I enjoy walking on the beach and don’t mind dogs running around enjoying themselves but are growing tired of people who show complete disregard for others using the beach. Kylie, Torquay BOUQUETS to the lovely ladies at Grandma’s Bottom Drawer. No matter how busy, they always have smiles on their faces and take the time to help their customers. I hope you all have a merry Christmas. Happy Customer, St Albans Park BUCKETS to neighbours who stick their noses over our fence every day and just stare like complete idiots. It is very disturbing. They know who they are. Here’s some free advice: get a life and mind your own business, you morons. DB, Geelong West

Fyans Street Independent Car Traders television giveaway winner David Te Kiri Tuwairua with daughter Pania, Elsworthy’s Allan Green and the prize. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 58338
Dealers turn car into TV for farmer BUYING a car from an Independent motor advertiser has turned into a new television for Carlisle River’s David Te Kiri Tuwairua. Mr Te Kiri Tuwairua was this week drawn as the winner of the Fyans Street Independent Car Traders television giveway. His prize was a 32-inch HD LCD television from Elsworthy’s Retravision. Mr Te Kiri Tuwairua went into the draw when he bought a second-hand Daewoo Lanos from Fyans Street’s Keith Purcell Car Sales. The prize draw was advertised over two weeks in the Independent’s Fyans Street Independent Car Traders lift-out. The Independent and the Fyans
Street dealers will run another giveaway in the new year. Mr Te Kiri Tuwairua, a dairy farmer who moved to the region two years ago, said his prize was “awesome”. “It couldn’t have come at a better time,” he said. Independent sales manager Jason Stratford said the giveaway promotion was also a windfall for the participating dealers. “The feedback I have had is that they sold over 60 cars in the two weeks of the promotion,” Mr Stratford said. “That’s an amazing result. We look forward to the next giveaway in the new year.”

WATCH out residents of Barwon Heads and Geelong, you are going to be washed away by rising seas over the next century due to global emissions (Independent, December 17). This is the latest prediction by the prophets of doom. When will these people move on to some other planet? Their prophecies of doom and gloom are becoming nauseating. Have people noticed that those associated with such predictions are usually of the hard-left wing political variety? Remember Paul Ehrlich and his Population Bomb predictions back in the early ‘70s plus a mini Ice Age as well? Millions would die of mass starvation in China and India? Yes, the Malthusian theory would destroy the world as we knew it. Not to be put off by being so wrong, this guy and his fellow travellers are still around supporting the global warming theory. The problem this time is we are wasting billions of dollars on useless renewables like wind farms, desalination plants and a probable Gillard carbon tax for something science does not support. Wake up people, you are being conned yet again and will continue to pay huge increases in power and water bills as a consequence. The problem is not emissions but the sins of omission.

Campaign resumes THE COMMUNITIES of Torquay, Jan Juc and Bellbrae are still reeling from the slap in the face delivered by council’s long awaited 2040 process. The release of the three scenarios for growth (Independent, November 12) has left the majority of the community wondering what has to happen before we at least get an acknowledgment that we do not want the rapid growth of the past 10 years continued. Council’s 2040 process appears to be so constrained by the history of planning that there is no ability to respond to changing community attitudes, needs or wants. It seems more and more like another sham consultation process designed to wear out the community and continue to allow developers and other vested interests to rip the guts out of our town. The low-growth scenario takes the population from 12,000 to 20,000, a growth rate of six per cent a year. Our infrastructure has not kept pace with growth of 3.5 per cent a year. The planning also does not factor in Armstrong Creek’s 50,000 people who will use the Surf Coast as their playground. Speak Up For Spring Creek is starting to dust off the red shirts and say even louder ‘Stop and Think’. The campaign is starting again. David K Bell Speak Up For Spring Creek
Legacy of injury
Bank on bailout
MOTORCYCLING Australia is pleased with former MP Michael Crutchfield’s role in the massive public grant it received toward the purchase of McAdam Park, Barrabool (Letters, December 3). The association’s satisfaction is unsurprising – it now has this prime rural land forever, with nothing to repay after 10 years regardless of whether motorcycling continues on the land. But the outcome for the community is terrible. Claims the facility reduces illegal riding in national and local parks are without foundation and unsupported by evidence. Further, suggestions this is about saving an existing community facility are mischievous. Michael Crutchfield’s legacy in Barrabool is an ill-considered and completely inappropriate development. Typically, he inflicted this environmental and community injury without any community consultation then attacked those who objected.
PRIME Minister Julia Gillard recently announced banks would be given access to depositors’ funds as a source of cheap funding while failing to acknowledge their massive profits. In the USA it is illegal for banks to loan depositors’ funds because they are kept there to be safe and secure. Treasurer Wayne Swan’s announcement regarding the underwriting of banks was just another play in favour of the banks and will put all depositors’ funds at risk while lining Australia up for bankruptcy and an IMF or World Bank bailout.

BY ERIN PEARSON THE FLASH of fireworks and “electric candles” will light up Geelong’s Carols by Candlelight for the first time this Christmas eve, according to organisers. Noel Hooper, who has helped run the event for 37 years, promised Friday night’s family gathering would be “bigger and better than ever”. He said sponsor Eveready would also hand out free battery-powered candles to help spread the Christmas cheer. “This year for the first time we’ll have a fireworks display at 10pm as the carols finishes,” he said. “The display will be themed red, green and white. “We just wanted to take the carols a bit further this time and fireworks seemed like the perfect addition.” Hooper said Santa Claus and Geelong Football Club’s Half Cat would join well-known singers Ange Hilton, Tim Edwards and Sophie Katos at the carols. “Running the carols is something our club loves to do and it’s my baby in the club,” Hooper grinned. “I probably get more out of it that I put in. It brings so much joy to so many families.” Hooper said the YMCA’S Y Service Club of Geelong, which raises money for various charitable causes, took over running the event in 1964 after the carols were shelved for two years. “Combined churches through the late ‘40s and ‘50s ran the only carols program in Geelong and in the early ‘60s they stopped doing it. The Y Service Club decided to start it again and have run it ever since.” Hooper said organising the carols was a labour of love. “It takes six months of pretty full on work but I absolutely love it.” He said organisers had their fingers crossed for fair weather after rain washed out last year’s carols. “I remember 25 years ago I rang the weather bureau on Christmas eve morning and the guy said to me ‘Look, there’s not a cloud and no moisture, so we can’t possibly get any rain’ but about six hours later, mid-afternoon, we got showers,” he recalled. This year’s Carols by Candlelight will run from 8pm to 10pm in central Geelong’s Johnstone Park with free admission.
Badwi on eve of city show after ARIA ‘hit’ BY ERIN PEARSON LIFE is a whirlwind of world performances and major festival appearances for Melbourne’s Zoe Badwi. Her latest single, Freefallin’, reached number four on the ARIA charts within days following the global success of her dance-floor hit Release Me. But life wasn’t always newspaper interviews and global stop-offs for Badwi, who started work as a hairdresser after leaving high school. “I still pinch myself about it all the time,” she said.
“My first overseas performance was in Mykonos playing outside with thousands of people. I couldn’t believe I got paid to go over and do that. “I didn’t even know they knew my stuff but they sang louder than me.” After dabbling in bands such as Sirens and Black Dogs, a chance meeting with TV Rock’s Grant Smilie put Badwi on a new career path. “I was playing at The Saint hotel in St Kilda about four years ago and I’m lucky Grant showed up,” she said. “Now he co-manages me and I speak to him four to five times a day.
“Who know where this industry can take you. I just know I love singing, performing and writing music. “I don’t envisage myself in places, I just keep working hard.” Badwi, who just finished performing on a Stereosonic tour around Australia, said Geelong fans should have their “dancing shoes ready” for her show. “I love coming down to Geelong,” she said. “Geelong people just want to dance.” Badwi will perform at Home House Pinch: Zoe Badwi on New Year’s Eve.

READER’S RECIPE
1 Place the chocolate, cream, brandy and nutmeg in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir with a metal spoon until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm enough to roll into balls. 2 Line a tray with non-stick baking paper. Use a teaspoon to scoop out 2 teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture and use your hands to roll into a ball. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm. 3 Meanwhile, place chocolate melts in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir with a metal spoon until chocolate melts. 4 Line a tray with non-stick baking paper. Use 2 forks to dip a truffle into the melted chocolate to coat. Remove truffle, tapping the fork handle gently on the edge of the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining truffles and melted chocolate. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to set. Sprinkle truffles with extra nutmeg and serve with coffee.

So the Touch Up Guys go to customers’ homes or workplaces to provide on-the-spot service and repairs.

Whether the kids have borrowed the family car and left a nice mark on the bumper or for any other damage, the guys can help with their services to renew the appearance of customers’ vehicles.

The mobile service can make and match more than 55,000 automotive colours on site. EFTPOS facilities for Visa, MasterCard and debit cards are available for customers’ convenience.

Touch Up Guys visit their customers, cars at home or work for on-the-spot service and repairs.
Warehouse has a broad range of new and used trailers raeme Hutchings’ Trailer Warehouse Victoria is Geelong’s leading retail outlet for trailers, boasting the widest range available under one roof. After returning to his home state for what he expected to be retirement close to his daughter and grandchildren, Graeme ended up taking a gamble during the Global Financial Crisis when he became the Victorian distributor for European-designed Erde trailers. He has since expanded his range of the state-ofthe-art, lightweight, fully-galvanised trailers. Graeme initially traded second-hand stock, developing a range of trailers including caravan and boat models. With an emphasis on providing fair deals, Graeme continued adding to his range. Now his business also stocks Dunbier boat trailers, Australian-designed Volt trailers and other Australian-made box, cage and camper trailers. With years of various trades experience behind him, straight-talking Graeme and his staff can recommend the right trailer for each customer’s requirements. “If you’re looking for any type of trailer, a boat trailer or a second-hand caravan, visit Trailer Warehouse Victoria to see what’s available before I really do retire,” Graeme says. Trailer Warehouse also accepts Visa and Master Card for customer convenience. Trailer Warehouse is at 56 Sun Street, Moolap. Phone 52486070.
