Air race bid flies

BY ANDREW MATHIESON STATE Government will hold talks “soon” with international air racing organisers as part of a push to bring the Red Bull race series to Geelong next year. But the iconic air race that was wowed worldwide audiences cancelled its 2011 season last year amid safety concerns. Red Bull Air Race officials have blamed the hiatus on an “opportunity to fast track the technological advancements currently in the making, which would further improve the already high levels of safety”. The Government has remained tight-lipped over when a decision could be made to award Geelong a race over previous hosts Perth. But Premier Ted Ballieu’s senior spokesperson, Simon Troeth, said Geelong was ideally suited to fulfilling the requirements to host the air race series. “Geelong is the preferred location for the race,” he said. “The event has traditionally taken place over water and holding the event over Corio Bay would keep with this aspect of the event.” Considerations in the site selection process also include separation from other aviation activity, civilian safety and approval of Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), he said. Mr Troeth said final rights’ fees would be “substantial”, but would depend in part on the review by event organisers. The West Australian government had spent $2.2 million on Perth hosting the 2010 event over the Swan River in April last year. Western Australia is considering re-bidding for the event. Australia’s only Red Bull pilot Matt Hall remained optimistic the event would be relaunched next year or at least 2013. “I am hoping the air race will return in the coming years,” he told the Independent. “The following was growing rapidly and peaked this year so I don’t see why it won’t come back. “My team and I are preparing as though it will.” “I would welcome a return to Perth or a new venue like Geelong.”

Subdued start to new year – police BY ERIN PEARSON AND KIM WATERS POLICE have given the thumbs up to partygoer behaviour across Geelong, Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula following a low-incident Christmas and New Year period. Geelong Inspector Garry Thompson said the station had recorded “far less” arrests than last year’s festive period. Insp Thompson said the introduction of on-the-spot fines for offences such as underage consumption of alcohol and unsocial behaviour were a useful deterrent. “If you correlate the reduction with the recent push towards behavioural fines related to drunkenness and alcohol it seems to me it’s picked up by

the community,” he said. “It’s an early indication Mr and Mrs General Public seem to getting the message.” Insp Thompson said thefts from motor vehicles, assaults, sexual assaults and drunken behaviour were low but warned the summer period wasn’t over yet. “We haven’t had the hot periods yet that bring people out onto the streets so we will keep maintaining the push towards safety,” he said. “Burglary numbers have unfortunately stayed the same but we are addressing that through local tasking units. “The issue of willful and obscene exposure has been noticeable so we are calling on people to be wary of

things that don’t appear to be quite right and report them to police right away.” Torquay Acting Senior Sergeant Adrian Bickley said the Surf Coast was also “subdued” with minimal arrests. “On New Years Eve Torquay locked up only eight drunks and Lorne four which is below average.” Insp Bickley also credited the new fines with reducing bad behavior. Drunks face $478 fines, behavioural offenses $478 and underage drinking $60. “People who’ve been drinking all day are thinking twice about driving down to the Surf Coast because there is a strong possibility they’ll be pulled over and breath tested,” he

said. Drysdale Police leading senior constable Glenn Styles said his station recorded “no major incidents” over the same period, except for a cyclist hit and killed by a car in the town on January 3. Barwon Heads 13th Beach Surf Life Saving Club Captain Lis Terriman said “colder than usual” weather had also kept beaches “relatively quiet”. “We had a few days with strong currents and big swells but it was more a case of assisting swimmers than actually rescuing them,” she said. “As the weather heats up we’d encourage all beach goers to swim between the flags and stay away from any non-patrolled beaches.”

UCI works are lagging BY KIM WATERS GEELONG’S council has failed to uphold its promise to restore roads altered for the UCI world cycling championships before Christmas, according to a council spokesperson. City of Greater Geelong’s Gary Van Driel said contractors were still making “a number of improvements” to a Highton section of the course. He said contactors would not complete works to an altered roundabout at the intersection of Challambra Crescent and Montpellier Drive for a “few weeks”. Mr Van Driel told the Independent in November that botched restoration works had delayed the UCI clean up but promised contractors had a

Christmas deadline for “all” road restoration works. He did not set a deadline for landscaping works to return the Queens Park bridge area to its former condition. “Restoration work carried out by contractors at a number of points around the course (was) found to be below the required standard and the contractors had been directed to do the works again at their own expense,” he said. Mr Van Driel said landscaping works on a new car park at Queens Park were “nearing completion”. He said contactors would use salvaged soil from works on the temporary UCI bridge for the construction of the car park.

Gathering saved BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S iconic Highland Gathering celebrations will continue in 2011 after the group’s organising committee cemented a new March venue, according to its vice-president. John Fraser said although the gathering had recently appointed a new committee the event was at risk of folding if a suitable location could not be found. Mr Fraser said the committee had signed an agreement with Geelong Showgrounds to confirm the event would be held there on March 20. The gathering was moved to Fyansford Common in 2010 after its original Queens Park location became unavailable. Mr Fraser previously told the

Independent the Fyansford ground was unsuitable and caused the gathering to run at a loss. “The Geelong Showgrounds has good parking, power, water and toilet facilities so we are hoping we can save a bit of money this year to enable us to spend more on growing the event into the best highland gathering in Australia,” he said. “That’s our main goal.” Mr Fraser said the Geelong gathering was considered one of the best in the country before its 2010 demise and would now regroup in the hope of reattracting the Australian Pipe Band Championships to the city. The committee would also seek to sign the gathering to a permanent location for future years.

Hold up hunt

BY KIM WATERS TOURISTS are in for a “weird and wonderful” experience this weekend as a wacky Tea Cosy Exhibition hits Queenscliff. Event organiser Richard Allen said the four day exhibition, starting today, included “the biggest display of weird and wonderful tea cosies and tea pots on the Bellarine Peninsula”. “There will be hundreds of knitted, quilted and welded tea cosies in every kind of shape and style you can imagine,” he said. “You can let your imagination run wild when making a tea cosy and while some are very traditional there are others absolutely out of this world.” Judges would award prizes to the “wonderfullest” and “weirdest” designs, Mr Allen said. “Visitors can come and check out the exhibit for free and there will be tea pots, tea cosies and fair trade teas and accessories for sale.” Mr Allen said locals had “combined their talents” for the event, making more than 100 tea cosies in three months. “It’s brought a lot of people together who wouldn’t have known each other, so in that way it’s been a social event for us. A few “undercover” men in the community had also joined the fortnightly craft sessions, Mr Allen said. Funds raised at the exhibit will support local organisations, Mr Allen said. A successful exhibition could mean a weird and wonderful follow up next year, he said.

Safety noticed A RECENT campaign by WorkSafe Victoria in North Geelong produced a mixed scorecard with some employers getting top marks and others a bare pass. According to WorkSafe Victoria’s Ian Forsyth, the visits to nearly 200 small businesses in North Geelong by WorkSafe inspectors at the beginning of December resulted in the issuing of 255 improvement notices and four prohibition notices.

Witness appeal POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an assault and robbery at the Moorabool St Australia Post office on November 30 last year. Police said a number of people were in the shop at the time of the incident, and may have witnessed the theft or the victim being assaulted. Anyone with information is asked to contact Sergeant Adam Forehan at the Geelong Police Station on 52253100 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Warbird restored

Port flexes its muscles BY KIM WATERS PORTARLINGTON fishermen are preparing to flex their mussels this weekend at an annual town festival designed to tantalise the tastebuds of visitors from all over Victoria. Portarlington Mussel Festival committee chairman Richard Underwood expected more than 10,000 seafood lovers and holiday makers to attend the event. Mr Underwood said the festival, in its sixth year, aimed to promote the Bellarine Peninsula’s produce and mussel industry. “Portarlington is close to the leading town for mussels in Australia,” Mr Underwood said. “This is an opportunity to sample wines and primary produce of the Bellarine first-hand as well as the ‘delish’ fresh mussels we have.” He said festival goers could expect some exciting changes at this year’s event. “This is the first year we’ve had general stalls, as well as food and wine,” he said. “There are about 70 stalls all up and 25 of those will sell crafts and general goods with the other 45 selling produce, food and wine. “This is also the first time we’ve asked for a gold coin donation on entrance and all the proceeds go to the local CFA, we aren’t keeping one cent of that.” Other festival activities included diving displays, mussel tasting and live music. “There’s something for every budget and plenty of different foods for anyone who doesn’t like mussels,” Mr Underwood laughed. “Visitors can go out on trips to the mussel beds and the Endeavour sailing ship will be taking people out during the day,” Mr Underwood said. “We’re also selling a mussel recipe book for $2 and there is a photography and art exhibition in Parks Hall.”

GEELONG Police are hunting a man armed with a hand gun who robbed a convenience store in Newcomb on Tuesday morning. He is described as 182 centimetres tall and was wearing a grey coloured top and a hat and concealed his face with a scarf or bandana. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crime or anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

THE CANBERRA bomber sitting as gate guardian to Avalon Airport is to be restored to its former glory for the 2011 Australian International Airshow. The Canberra was Australia’s first jet bomber and Avalon was founded to construct the aircraft. The 2011 Airshow at Avalon will celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force and the restored bomber will form the centrepiece of the static display of historical aircraft to mark the occasion.

Portable information A PORTABLE Visitor Information Centre is being trialled until the end of January in Barwon Heads. Two Geelong Otway Tourism volunteers are based at ‘pie cart’ style trailer in the public gardens area in front of the Hitchcock Avenue public toilet block. Geelong Council said the centre was already proving popular and a successful trial would see it operate on weekends until Easter. 500876-RMB01-11

Vintage enthusiasm BY ANDREW MATHIESON WHEN a father and son take more than two decades to build a replica steam engine, it’s little wonder enthusiasts call the displays vintage machinery. Richard and Phillip Hayes have also aged along with their half-scale model WallisSteevens traction engine. Geelong Vintage Machinery Society’s Chris Quirke said the prized locomotive was a part of the family and affectionately named Priscilla. “That’s taken the better part of 22 years to build,” he said. She’s one of 70 working demonstrations from yesteryear including static exhibitions at the annual vintage machinery rally.

The event features internal combustible diesel engines, steam engines, boilers, a fairground organ, and grand parades such as horse-drawn implements and a log buggy. Mr Quirke said the displays showed off the ingenuity of the society. “A lot of models are built from scratch but you take a lot of the full-size machinery and it’s stuff that they’ve picked up on farms that have been rotting away in bottom of the gutter somewhere or at a clearing sale,” he said. Another that will draw a gasp is an engine out of the JP Webb dredge that weighs 35 tonnes and has a 1000-horse power. The Geelong Vintage Machinery Rally will be held both Saturday and Sunday at the Geelong Showgrounds.

Stealth storage BY ANDREW MATHIESON COMMUNITY activists have accused a chemical storage company of forcing another Coode Island onto Geelong people by stealth. But a Terminals spokesperson labelled claims the company had transported a highly toxic, flammable gas to ageing spheres at its Corio bulk-liquid facility as “outlandish”. The industrial chemical known as vinyl chloride monomer has been banned in several countries but was used in Australia to make PVC for pipes, toys, baby dummies, cooking utensils and plastic kitchen furniture. Geelong resident Franceska Dezelak, behind a letter campaign against the chemical, said Terminals sacked activists from its community advisory panel because they wanted the company to be accountable over a number of incidents. Mrs Dezelak said there were “serious concerns” over shipping the chemical. “At the top of each sphere of VCM, there is a valve that can leach it into the atmosphere around Geelong,” she said. “Truck accidents have occurred with VCM on a board while pumping at Terminals and during cleaning and maintenance of spheres.” She said the facility sat only hundreds of metres from North Shore Primary School and was “close enough” to thousands of Corio and Norlane homes.

“(It) may come as a shock to some residents of Geelong that once again we become the bunnies for shipping toxic chemicals,” she said. Coode Island was synonymous with a lightning explosion in 1991 at one of its storage tanks when 8.5 million litres of chemicals burned, creating a toxic cloud over nearby residential suburbs. Environmentalists and community supporters thwarted a proposal to move the petrochemical facility to Point Lillias, near Geelong. A company spokesman said terminals was storing VCM and also butadiene used to manufacture rubber and latex products. A community consultative committee had been established to review the storage of butadiene on site. “Recently it has become involved in peripheral issues away from its original specific charter,” he said. Other chemicals including bitumen, mono ethylene glycol, caustic soda and chemical solvents make up 42,000 cubic metres of materials in Corio. Most of the materials were bought in by sea to the wharf beside the facility, the spokesman said. Terminals claims facilities were maintained at world’s best standard and continually upgraded. “The risks of spills or accidents are minimised and Terminals’ safety record is among the best in the world,” he said.

Pub death hits bayside tourism BY KIM WATERS THE DEATH of man following a pub fight in St Leonards late last year has “scared off” summer holiday makers, according to a community representative. St Leonards Community Association president Robert Hynes said the town was “still in shock” following 48-year-old Melbourne man Sandy

Cooper’s death at St Leonards Hotel on December 9. Mr Hynes said tourists were concerned about visiting the “usually-quiet” seaside town. “I’ve had a few people say ‘oh, I won’t go to St Leonard’s any more’,” Mr Hynes said. “The community has taken it badly and it’s been a devastating blow to the town. “There has been very little

information and police have informed locals that it will take quite some time to get the full facts,” he said. “It’s definitely sent out a very clear message to holiday makers and we want to assure them that this kind of thing hasn’t ever happened before in the town and is a tragic once-off accident.”

Surfers on lookout VICTORIA’S newest leader Ted Baillieu donned rash vest and board shorts this week to help promote a new initiative aimed at reducing alcohol fuelled violence. Mr Baillieu, who made the announcement while enjoying the sun, surf and sand at Jan Juc beach, said Championship Moves, a partnership between the state and Surfing Victoria, would use surfers and their mateship to help spread a safety message. Mr Baillieu said young surfers were “great role models” in looking after their mates both in and out of the water. The Premier said the two-year partnership would enlist some of Australia’s most promising young surfers including 2009 Rip Curl Pro runner-up Adam Robertson, professional touring surfer Jack Perry and junior pro surfers Todd Rosewall and Mitch Baker. The campaign would also provide a presence at surfing events across Victoria, including the ASP World Tour Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach at Easter, he said.

Charlie wins in the race of life BY ERIN PEARSON SIMPLY sitting around used to be a daily routine for 65-year-old Shirley Warriner who calls Hamlyn Heights’ Vincentian Village home. That was before Charlie moved in. The three-year-old greyhound who failed to win in the betting ring is now the light of Shirley’s life. Part of the nursing home’s new focus on improving resident’s daily lives, Charlie joins a menagerie of furry friends which include another two greyhounds, two cats and six birds. Manager Janelle Hodgson said Charlie had “transformed” Shirley’s life. “Having a companion animal is one thing, but it also has an effect on resident’s mental and physical health,” she said. “They have the opportunity to give care rather than just receive care. “Shirley is in charge of grooming and feeding Charlie which requires her to think ahead and be responsible for his welfare.” Ms Hodgson said Shirley had been a diagnosed with depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, memory impairment, epilepsy and physical health issues, triggered by years of violent abuse. She lost her children to foster care and eventually found herself homeless before moving into an aged care facility, despite her relatively young age. Ms Hodgson said Shirley was now active, social, sleeping well and her pain had lessened. Many of Vincentian Village’s 91 residents had become more active, confident and social since the home introduced animals six months ago as part of patient care, she said. But Shirley’s transformation was special. And although looking after Charlie is a big

Chaplain calls for prison reform BY KIM WATERS VICTORIA’S prisons are overflowing with inmates who “should not be there”, according to a Victorian Prison Chaplaincy coordinator. Chaplain Jenny Hayes called on state and federal governments to change imprisonment laws, saying facilities were crowded with “80 percent” of prisoners who “should not be there”. Ms Hayes shared stories of her 16 years volunteering at Lara’s Margoneet Correctional Centre at a Portarlington community breakfast last month, saying she had met hundreds of prisoners who would be “better off” in rehab for drug, alcohol or gambling dependence. “So many of the people in prison are there because they haven’t paid traffic fines or have been caught up in drug trafficking to pay gambling

debts,” Ms Hayes said. “There are a lot of women at Margoneet who have come to Australia to escape the poverty in their country and traffic drugs to make money and then end up in prison.” She believed only 20 per cent of prisoners “needed to be punished with prison time” and only five per cent could “never be released” back into public. “About 75 per cent of the prison population have some kind of acquired brain injury for whatever reason and would be better off in a mental health facility.” Ms Hayes believed a system like that in Norway, where prisoners work full time in the community each day before returning back to prison at night, would work at Margoneet and Barwon Prison.

COLLECTOR David Smith’s wife should be bottled. The patient soul can be excused for coming a distant second to her husband’s wacky 33-year glass obsession that has taken hold of their lives. “I plan my holidays around bottle shows, basically - either buying, selling or exhibiting,” David says. “There was one in Perth in July last year and I had my two weeks holiday at the same time as the national bottle show there.” His wife, Hany, tags along on such trips with an air of trepidation. And for good reason because collecting bottles takes precedence over teaspoons or snow globes from favourite holiday spots. “When we’re away for a couple of weeks in Perth, she came three or four days later after the bottle show finished and then we had the rest of the holiday together,” David adds. “We had a campervan full of bottles that we ended up posting home. I think I got 14 boxes of them.” More than three decades ago David found his first relic in a Cairns collectables shop. A miniature bottle caught his eye during an extended honeymoon around Australia. David, full of wit, then quickly clarifies: “Wife number one was 33 years ago and wife number three knew when we met that I was a serious collector so I made that very clear.” Fossicking for old glass bottles was little more than a passing interest – something that was stacked away in a dusty box or just looked nice on the mantle. Then a turning point or two in David’s life changed everything. “Probably it comes down to a divorce, a painful separation, getting more active as a bachelor, I suppose, and I had more disposable income,” he recalls.

“Bottle collecting also became a serious hobby because I had to give up motorcycle riding and trials – I was getting too old for that.” Turning up for every bottle and collectables show listed then became a must. Shifting dirt, as bottle collectors say, to uncover hidden treasurers was only hindered by an ageing back. Now more than 3000 rare bottles and other chunks of glass fill his Belmont home. The 55-year-old counts 2000 different 1960s ceramic-label soft drink bottles that are neatly shelved in one custom-designed room alone. “When I bought the property, as soon as I saw that room, I knew what I was going to put in there,” David smiles. “My wife and I like to sit in there with a dry biscuit and cheese and a glass of wine because it has very good feng shui, good karma in the room. “I’m planning an extension and renovation that we want to do because a lot of my fruit jars are still in boxes.” Many of the fruit jars in his possession are circa 1920, a period that predates refrigeration when not only fruit, but also vegetables and even meat had to be presevered during hard times. The Geelong Bottles and Collectables club president’s greatest joy comes from bringing a bottle back to proverbial life. One was uncovered from a Geelong company that sold spirits in a strict 1800s Temperance Church that built the temple from the proceeds. “So we regard ourselves as the keepers of history,” he proclaims. “We do as much research as we want, but it’s the curiosity value and the beauty of them and the fact that a lot of them are handmade, not machine made with a lot of craftsmanship in them.” Spending ten of thousands of dollars on these artefacts has been about breaking a mental barrier. David at first shunned a $1500 price tag for a historic Geelong bottle. One of only 10 in circulation, he later smiled when the rare collectable sold for double. So paying $600 for a one-off skittle bottle proved “priceless”. “I’ve spent too much – put it this way, it’s now a good super fund,” David chuckles.

ON READING Debra Pett’s letter (Independent, December 17) expressing anger and disappointment with the Marshall Street social housing development, I called and left a message on Ms Pett’s message bank offering to discuss the matter with her, but in the absence of receiving a return call, I feel compelled to set the record straight. In November 2010, Council was notified by the State Government of the intended project and given 14 days to provide a written response. Council Officers opposed the project from the outset and raised various issues including that the development was at odds with the character of the area, the type and location of secluded private open space and that the development would provide poor amenity for future occupants. Nevertheless, the State Government issued the planning permit on 10 December 2010 in circumstances where the public was not consulted and third party appeal rights were withdrawn. The City of Greater Geelong and I were appalled by the issuance of the permit and again wrote to the State Government advising that “Council does not support the approval of this development”. Further, Council recommended that the State Government rescind the planning permit for the development. For my part, I personally wrote to the Premier objecting to the development. I met with residents, the local member and YWCA to try to have the permit overturned. I tabled a petition in Council calling for a halt to the development. I have been vocally opposed to this project from the outset and any suggestion to the contrary is misguided. I understand residents’ anger over this development and the lack of community consultation by the State and Federal Government on the issue. This complete disregard of community democratic rights goes a long way to explain why we saw a change of government at the State election in November. Cr Stretch Kontelj City of Greater Geelong

Blame game SURELY the last gasp of the failed candidate must be to blame the voting rules – applying equally to everyone – and right on cue, here comes Sarah Henderson. The reason she lost is simply because she did not appeal to the vast middle ground of the electorate of Corangamite. If she doesn’t understand that then I hope the Liberal Party is silly enough to put her up as a candidate in 2013 for she will surely, and deservedly, lose again. If on the other hand she takes the next three years as an opportunity to reflect on the pitiful campaign she ran and the even worse policies the opposition took to the election then she might, just might mind you, be able to represent the people in the Federal Parliament. My money is on her looking for another job after the next election. Kevin V Russell Geelong

Path to development IT IS outrageous that private developers expect Geelong ratepayers to fund private infrastructure (Creek’s slug, December 17). Many Grovedale streets haven’t a concrete path on even one side. Parents going to Coolabah Park are dangerously forced to push prams along the road. Why won’t Council construct a path? Because “there is no funding”! Big tip COGG – rate money is for the benefit of residents of Greater Geelong, not wealthy private developers. Not one cent of ratepayers’ funds should go towards any infrastructure in any part of Armstrong Creek. Lee Gladwell Grovedale

Electoral thanks

Sticky Wiki IF HOWARD Hutchins is a returned soldier, I feel for him; however calling Julian Assange a traitor is a bit rich. Assange wrote to the US State Department on two occasions offering the opportunity to redact (which seems to mean vet) documents, with no reply. There is nothing treasonous about exposing the dastardly goings-on of an illegal war causing the death and mutilation of hundreds of thousands of non-combatants. George Bush’s mates at Halliburton have reaped billions for rebuilding work that has never been done, and billions more in Iraqi money simply stolen. Closer to home, thousands of ex-combatants from various wars they attended have never been properly looked after by the Australian government after performing their duties and being mentally and physically devastated. And of course you will recall the veteran from Geelong who shot himself in the Office of Veterans Affairs out of frustration at their lack of help. Our government has sent thousands of our good men to fight in wars that were none of our business. If Julian Assange’s effort in exposing the corrupt and outrageous efforts of the governments and armed forces that perpetrate these dastardly events leads to a cessation of them, then many a mother and wife will be very happy. Gary Oraniuk Geelong

AS ONE of the newly elected members of the Legislative Council for the Western Victoria Region, it is with immense gratitude that I thank first and foremost the people of Western Victoria for granting me the opportunity to represent their interests in Parliament over the next four years. I am truly grateful and will strive to contribute a strong voice for our region. As a member of the Nationals, I am fighting for a fair share for rural and regional Victorians. Western Victoria is a vibrant, colourful part of our wonderful state that holds a great deal of potential for new prosperity, with development opportunities for both new and existing industries, businesses and communities. I will passionately pursue regional development opportunities. The Coalition’s $1 billion Regional Growth Fund is a fundamental part of this plan that will enable Western Victoria to be observed as leaders in the progress and future direction of our state. The expansion of industries and creation of opportunities for successful regional cities and towns is vital to ensure Western Victoria will flourish and prosper. I want to ensure that we have improved infrastructure including upgrading our country roads and better regional education and training facilities. I want to make certain that our health services receive the upgrades they require. Furthermore, I will endeavour to ensure our communities remain safe, and that the environment, as well as the preservation of our natural assets is at the forefront in the decision making process in Parliament.

Autism program brings new hope BY ANDREW MATHIESON DESPAIR has turned to hope for Debra-Lee Miraglia from the times when grandson Jacob threw tantrums every time he hopped into the car. This wasn’t some spoilt kid. A paediatric assessment soon revealed all Jacob’s problems boiled down to acute autism. “He had a fear of going shopping so getting him out of the house was a major drama,” Mrs Miraglia said. “He’d scream if you tried.” It was less than two years ago when the presence of strangers - even in the safety of the family’s Norlane home - would scare Jacob. “His fear of people and wanting to hide is definitely one of the signs,” she said. “They’re very sensitive to the noises around him and their surrounds. If people came around, he’d hide underneath the table or chair.” Now his nanna can smile. Since heavy medication seemed the only solution to curb nightmares most nights, the five-year-old is a changed boy. Local provider Gateways Support Services introduced the Miraglias to an autism early learning program. A switch to an autistic kindergarten was just the first step. Drawing a picture of family watching over Jacob lying down also allayed his fears of people and music in headphones would block out outside noise. “He’ll go to the supermarket, no problems now,” Mrs Miraglia said. “We use to have to buy a toy for Jacob and say, ‘if you come, we’ll buy you a wrestling man’ because he’s obsessed with wrestling.” Gateways have secured $30,000 to fund at least 20 autism assessments for children in the region. Autism Spectrum Disorders, which afflicted Jacob, is a group of neuro-biological disorders that

All clear for colourful outfit ing in L.A. next week.” The Colour Clear’s first gig late last year at Geelong’s Bended Elbow broke the alltime ticket sales record for a local artist at the venue. But the bands’ beginning wasn’t always so simple. Biscombe said the foursome deliberated for “months” over their final name. “We had been struggling to find a name for so long and one night Nick called us from a pub he was at with an idea,” he said. “Nick said we should call ourselves Stairwell Clear after he saw a pub sign that read ‘keep the stairwell clear’. “We thought it was the worst name ever but it eventually evolved into The Colour Clear and just stuck.” Biscombe said the band’s “radio friendly rock” could be heard when the four released their debut self-titled EP next week. “We’re a cross between Powderfinger and John Butler,” he said. “People should look out for songs Dance Floor Warfare and Outside In.” The Colour Clear will perform at Beaves Bar on January 13.

BY ERIN PEARSON COMPARING themselves to the likes of cartoon superhero Captain Planet, Geelong band The Colour Clear think their fusion of talent is a winner. Guitarist and vocalist Matt Biscombe said after six months of “bonding” the group had found the secret to their success. “We were all playing in different bands and decided it was time we started something we all enjoyed,” he said. “Playing in other bands over the years has given us the experience that bands need to be diverse, everyone gets a say and this understanding makes the band’s process much easier.” Biscombe, who picked up a guitar just four years ago to help him though high school, admitted fellow band members Nick Hagger, Adrian Trinchera and Luke Chapman were an “eclectic” mix. “I study tourism, Nick is a nurse, Adrian works at a bank and Chappy is a painter,” he laughed. “Nick rocks up to band practice in nursing gear, Chappy’s all covered in paint, it’s all over the shop. “We don’t expect to be play-

OPEN 7 DAYS

Summer will be jam-packed SOME of the country’s most successful DJ’s will descend on Geelong and the Surf Coast next week when they bring their “banging sound system” Summer Jam 2011 to the region. Producer, DJ and half of Aussie music success story TV Rock, Grant Smilie said the convoy of artists would offer music lovers of all ages “free beachside entertainment with a difference”. “The reason for Summer Jam is simple. We all know that us Aussies are fond of the beach so this summer we are taking the party to the beach side communities to travel back to the city,” he said. Smilie said a customised Red Bull truck equipped with sound system, full DJ “rig”,

plasma screens would entertain music lovers “relaxing by the seaside” before engaging nighttime revellers. Summer Jam will be on the Lorne foreshore and at Lorne Hotel on January 12 with Grant Smilie and Andy Murphy, at Torquay’s main beach and Torquay Hotel on January 13 with Smilie, Chardy and Samantha Bliss and at Geelong’s Eastern Beach and Home House nightclub on January 15 with Smilie, Fuzzy and Feenixpawl. All three daytime events will run beachside from 2pm to 4pm daily with evening events to follow. For more information visit www.summerjam.com.au.

Finding the one that works best hristmas and New Year have once again passed us by. Did you manage it well or with all that extra eating do you now find yourself as fat as Santa and thinking about wearing a larger size? It is often a dilemma as to what to do about our excess weight as there are many weight loss programs in the market place. While they all work one way or another, they are not all necessarily good for you. When comparing weight loss programs we should consider these factors: â&#x20AC;˘ You need to be able to live on the program for the rest of your life â&#x20AC;˘ Shakes and pills are only for the short term and teach you nothing â&#x20AC;˘ Following a fast weight loss program will work in the short term, but once you stop, your old eating habits will return and you will regain all the weight and

LOSING WEIGHT WITH MANDY FISHER possibly more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a waste of time and money. We also need to be able to adjust our bad habits as we go on our weight loss journey. The program needs to teach you to eat the right quantities of normal food allowing for your particular likes and dislikes. We need to look at our portion sizes as plates have grown larger and we need to look at the balance of food that is suggested as we should be eating from all food

groups. We also need to be accountable to someone on a personal basis as it is so easy to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fall off the wagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when we are trying to go it alone. The Weight Works program supplies all of this criteria using normal food and addressing the challenge of sabotaging habits. Clients are taught on a personal basis, building a beneficial relationship with their food coach. If you would like to learn how to beat those bad habits and lose weight at the same time join the Weight Works now. Call one of the centres: Geelong West 5221 2333; Leopold 5250 1015; Norlane 5275 0971 or go to www.theweightworks.com.au. Mandy Fisher is from the Weight Works.

ow much â&#x20AC;&#x153;me timeâ&#x20AC;? have you made for yourself? What happened in the past month? Have you made some time for you just to be you? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me you were too busy. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with the excuse that it was Christmas or you just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now the new year and time to

make the change to start to feel great. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now time to get serious. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now time to goal set and figure out what you really want to achieve this year, so here are some questions to ask yourself: â&#x20AC;˘ How do you feel today? â&#x20AC;˘ How do you want to feel? â&#x20AC;˘ What do you think you need to do to start to feel that way?

WHY ARE WE THE BEST? PERSONAL ONE TO ONE SUPPORT

â&#x20AC;˘ How would you feel in six months time if you did not start working towards that goal today? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait â&#x20AC;&#x201C; start today. These questions are not the traditional goal-setting questions because more than 50 per cent of new years resolutions are broken within seven days. So we need to think of how we feel when we are doing something for our-

selves, how it feels when the changes we have made are noticed by our families. They tell us how great we are looking and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ultimately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how we feel when we can look at the person in the mirror and see the difference a little â&#x20AC;&#x153;me timeâ&#x20AC;? can make.

Kizashi, the big Suzuki BY ERIC BLAIR uzuki is one of the world’s largest car makers, with annual sales in excess of two million. Its strength has traditionally been in small cars, small to medium 4WDs and light commercials. Now it has made an interesting move into medium size cars. This new model, called the Suzuki Kizashi is, believe it or not, the largest car ever made by Suzuki. Styling of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is relatively conservative as befits entrants in a market segment where buyers tend to shy away from radical designs. Yet the stylists have managed to create a car with a powerful look that should appeal to a lot of potential buyers. The rear end is distinguished by the use of built-in exhaust tips of the type normally seen only in sports and exotic cars. Inside, there’s a real feeling of luxury, with high class materials and a design that could have come from a much more expensive car. Cabin space is very good. The body is relatively tall, which makes it look narrower than it really is, so there’s better than average

legroom in the back seat. Four adults can be carried on a daily basis with room for all of them to get comfortable. Three children across the rear seat works neatly. On the road is where the new Suzuki Kizashi really impresses. It feels almost European in the way it rides and handles. Also adding to the sporting appearance is the lowered ride height (by 10 mm) and the splitmulti-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels. As well as being lowered the suspension has been firmed up. But the big news in the handling department is the use of all-wheel drive. This uses a sophisticated system of electronic and mechanical aids to provide the correct amount of torque to each of the wheels. Those who want the build quality of a Japanese vehicle and the dynamics of a European one should have this new Suzuki Kizashi sitting high on their short list. It’s well priced, being around five to ten per cent cheaper than most of its Asian competitors and comes with high levels of equipment.

even on rock shelves. Good clearance angles front and rear and a compact body can take you a long way in rough off-road conditions. But don’t drive it too hard as the relatively light construction means it can be broken more readily than purpose-built 4WD vehicles. There’s good underbonnet and under car space so a good amateur mechanic can do a lot of their own routine servicing. Safety-related items should be left to the professionals and we highly recommend you have a repair manual at your elbow before lifting those spanners for the first time. Holden operates an efficient parts delivery network and you’re not likely to be waiting for more than a couple of working days before parts arrive at your dealer in the remote outback. Parts prices and servicing costs are reasonable, though not always as low as for locally-made Holdens. Make sure that the engine starts easily, runs relatively smoothly, and that the transmission works quietly and shifts gears with no fuss. Check over the complete body inside and out as well as underneath and be suspicious of any damage caused by off-road use. In particular look for dents at the lower corners of the bumper, in the door sills and underneath the engine and transmission. Salt water can cause serious rust, rust that can cause the body to be written off in a short time if repairs aren’t carried out promptly. If you suspect a Holden Cruze has been taken to play at the beach check for signs of white salt, underneath as well as on the visible parts of the body. Lift the floor mats and have a good look at the floor for signs of dampness and/or rust. Go for a professional inspection if there’s the slightest doubt about the condition because repairs to small offroaders can cost more than those for hatches in the same price bracket. If the Cruze pulls to one side under braking, or even locks one of the wheels, it could mean problems in the braking system.

504705-JF1-11

BY ERIC BLAIR ot to be confused with the current Daewoo-sourced midsized sedan of the same name, the 2002-2006 Holden Cruze is a small crossover SUV built in Japan by Suzuki. A fair bit of the design is Australian, coming from the same design team that penned the lines of the third generation Holden Monaro. Holden Cruze was launched in Australia midway through 2002 and was imported until 2006. It began its life as a funky concept car based on the Suzuki Ignis. It didn’t enjoy the success anticipated for it, partly because most buyers in the 4WD class were looking for medium to large vehicles during that period. The final shipment arrived here in June 2006, but some may not have been sold new for several months afterwards. Be wary of any advertised as 2007 models – it’s the build-plate date that counts, not the year of first registration. The interior styling of the Cruze is as adventurous and appealing as the exterior, with chunky controls highlighted by bright alloy-style inserts. Though what you see is Holden, what you don’t see under the skin is virtually all Suzuki and has been built to a high standard by a company that specialises in small vehicles. Suspension work was done by a team that contained several Australians. This resulted in greater ground clearance as well as a wider track, the latter done to improve onroad handling. Handling is surprisingly good for a vehicle in this class and the little Cruze can be tossed around on dirt or bitumen roads safely and comfortably. This little Holden fun car is powered by a 1.5-litre engine. There’s not a huge amount of torque and it tends to be developed higher in the rev range than you would expect from a small 4WD. The five-speed manual is better than the four-speed automatic, though the latter isn’t as bad as you might expect as Cruze doesn’t have a lot of mass to haul. Cruze isn’t too bad in the bush, or

The FX has a double effect Waneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wheels BY GREG WANE

cean Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colin Gardiner is a Holden man. His current car collection is proof of this. Currently Colin has two restored 48/215 FXs and two classic 1970s Sandman Panel Vans. He bought his first classic, the 1951 FX, more than 20 years ago in Geelong when he was a young mechanic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;okâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condition but I have done a full restoration being careful to keep in its original condition,â&#x20AC;? Colin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the original grey motor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 132.â&#x20AC;? The Holden 48/215, widely referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FXâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was launched by Prime Minister Ben Chifley in 1948 as Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own car, made for Australian conditions. The car was new in shape but was basic in its technology. No extra chrome, only a driver sunvisor, no heater and fresh air was available through an air scoop between the bonnett and windscreen. However the 2160cc, six-cylinder â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grey motorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was one of the most popular ever made by GMH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got the car it was still original including the motor. The engine was a bit tired but I completely reconditioned it.â&#x20AC;? Colin said the body needed some minor work on some of the panels and he has fully restored the interior including new upholstery. Not having a heater didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faze Colin, who uses the car regularly to get to work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just throw a blanket over my legs on cold mornings, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The car is a bit heavy to drive though. Power steering wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around when they were made so it can feel heavy to drive.â&#x20AC;?

Twoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company: Colin Gardiner says his two almost-identical Holden 48/215s (FXs) are easy to manitain despite them being both almost 60 years old. Photos: Tommy Ritchie 57363 Colin said the column shift was daunting to some people who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t driven a car with one before. He said his FX has a manual gear lever mounted on the steering column and gear changes are made through the three-speed transmission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because the car was a basic design so it means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really easy to work on.â&#x20AC;? The plan to produce an all-Australian car began in 1946 when the Federal Government asked car man-

ufacturers to design a car that was uniquely Australian with the aim of generating post war industrial growth. General Motors adapted an American design to create the FX. The limited range of options included an Air Chief 5 radio, a rear venetian blind, a passenger sun visor and a locking petrol cap. The car appealed to Australians and whether it was patriotism or the basic design but sales exceeded supply and the waiting list for a car was nearly 12 months. The company became General Motors Holden and manufacturing was lifted within a year from 10 cars per day to 100 cars. More than 120,000 cars were built until 1953

when Holden unveiled the FJ. Colin said about eight years ago he found his second FX in Ballarat, a 1950 model. It was the same colour but was also in average condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the motor and gearbox but still have to fix up the interior on this one,â&#x20AC;? Colin said. It is the shape and styling that he loves about his old Holdens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cars are a bit of a toy for me,â&#x20AC;? he declared. Considering the age of the FX, Colin said the 60year-old cars were becoming rare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are getting harder to find. There are still a few around but getting them at the right price is becoming difficult,â&#x20AC;? he said.

uality workmanship, products and customer service are key elements to professional glass tinting and Tintmaster is the leading name when it comes to window tinting. Lasting quality and skilled tinting technicians offer value for money, which all combine to provide the very best window tinting for your car or home. Owner Dave Kershaw says the installation process makes all the difference to a good tint job. “Not all window tints are the same, there are many different types, styles and films. If you buy a fridge, you go to an electrical store and you get the same fridge anywhere, but with window tinting, it’s important not only what the film is, but how it’s applied and the care that’s taken in the installation process. “That’s the edge we have at Tintmaster. We use the best films and the most experienced and technically qualified tinters in Geelong.” Tintmaster, the professional glass tinting company is Geelong’s only licensed installer of 3M and MEP Australia films and uses the best solar controlled window film from leading manufacturers in the United States. To top this off, all of the work is done in a modern workshop with the latest technology. “When you want your car to look great and to be cool and you want to get the best value-for-money window tint, come and see us at Tintmaster,” Dave says.

Surfboats battle Lorne’s swells

Friday

BY ERIN PEARSON MORE THAN 40 surfboat crews from across the country will take to the waters in Lorne this weekend to battle the surf for points in the Navy Australian Surf Rowers League racing event. Event spokesperson and Fairhaven club sweep Joe Bergin said spectators should expect a day full of “competition” and “carnage”. “The event will be a real curtain raiser for the Pier to Pub swim which will follow,” he said. “There will be thrills and spills and tiring sprint finishes.” Bergin said both local and non-local clubs would prove tough competition. “Fairhaven will have a few hot crews, Lorne’s open men’s group will be competitive and Torquay’s junior crew is really good,” he said. “But the top two teams to watch will be Fairhaven’s women side and Torquay’s under-23.” The round one event will see teams contest the open men’s and women’s events, A and B reserve events, under 23 men and women and under 19 men’s events. Racing will begin 8am before the Pier to Pub race begins. Conditions are predicted to produce clean swell this weekend. Crews will row 800 metres in wet starts and finishes with top teams to advance to the second round in each division to be held in St Kilda next month. The 2010-11 NAVY ASRL series consists of 24 events around Australia from October 2010 to February 2011. The Australian Surf Rowers League currently has over 3000 members from over 260 clubs which make up 450 crews.

Sunday Splash: Lorne will see plenty of thrills on the water this weekend.

Torquay to host VFL BY ERIN PEARSON TORQUAY football lovers will get to witness the breadth of talent of some of the states most successful VFL players this April despite a Good Friday timeslot being quashed. Williamstown Football Club’s 2011 draw revealled the side would suit up against the Geelong Cats VFL side on Easter Sunday instead. Williamstown general manager Brendan Curry told the Independent the club was pleased to be playing one of its home games in Torquay over Easter, regardless of

which day it was on. Williamstown’s home ground will be out of action for much of 2011 due to $8 million development works, forcing it to redirect home games to various locations including Torquay, Keilor and Wangaratta. “We’re expecting to showcase VFL footy at its best and attract a big crowd,” Curry said. “We had to think outside the square a bit and through the great support of the Torquay Football Club, Football Geelong and the Geelong VFL side we’ve been able to tee this up.”

Curry said he hoped the draw could also help the Torquay Football Club in its bid to upgrade grounds facilities. Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association president Martin Duke said he was concerned the match would attract too many people to Torquay on its “busiest weekend of the year”. “We have more people turning up to Torquay at Easter than in summer so it would be better to attract tourists down here when we’re not so busy otherwise it will be gridlock,” he said.

Big flathead will be taken if you lay a liberal berley trail and fish your baits suspended off a float so your baits are clear of the weed growing on the bottom. Squid can be caught early morning and evening with small dark coloured jigs the most productive. Snapper, trevally and salmon are always close by and of course fish after dark on the high tides for the gummy shark that inhabit this location. Lonsdale Bight offers variety with salmon a common target species. While trolling will locate them, look for the bird action

to help out. Squid are also here but push into shallow water for the best results. Offshore anglers will start to see some excellent propsects. Any of the inshore reefs will hold snapper while the deeper water of 20 to 40 metres will see quality flathead. Both school and gummy sharks are present and there are even some makos being caught in the 50metre plus depth. Beach fishers will find generally small salmon but after dark the possibility of gummy shark and the odd mulloway become a real possibility. Jan Juc, Bancoora and Collendina are your best options. McLeods watering hole at Drysdale can provide plenty of fun for the kids able to take

huge carp and eels on corn, bread and worms. Generally the best fishing is in the evenings or when conditions are cloudy or overcast. Barwon Heads, a favourite destination for many, especially if you drop a line early morning and evenings and even better if it coincides with a high tide.

AFTER a two-week break Geelong Cricket Club returns to the field tomorrow for the VCA’s annual round of country matches. This year Geelong is scheduled to travel to Warrnambool for the final twenty20 game of this year’s fixture. They will take on the Camberwell Magpies in what should be a cracking encounter. Geelong currently sits in fifth position while Camberwell are just hanging on to eighth spot and will be desperate to remain there. Geelong could have its work cut out: In the three twenty20 matches before Christmas, the Cats won only one game, while the Magpies won all three. Captain Liam Buchanan and Justin Foss have both shown their all round talents in the last few games, while Matthew Harrison and Hayden Butterworth have been in form with the bat. The Geelong Cricket Association also resumes tomorrow with a round of one day games to blast away all that Christmas pudding. In the match of the round, South Barwon host Grovedale, a match that pits some of the best players in the competition against each other. South Barwon have performed brilliantly thus far, finding themselves undefeated and in second spot on the ladder. While the batting has been solid, it has been the bowling of Jeremy Babb that has been a revelation for the Swans. The off-spinner has claimed 16 wickets at the tidy average of 10.5 and has proved to be the difference in all of his side’s victories. Throw in the form of import Nadim Hussein with 12 wickets and 10 to evergreen Brad Hauenstein and the Swans suddenly have one of the most potent attacks in the league. Grovedale started the season well and are yet to lose a match. With an experienced side, they will be looking to fine tune their game in the lead up to finals, when they will hope to have one last crack at a flag. Gareth Yelland has been performing well with both bat and ball, while Rod Kiddle, Nick Peterson and Chris Cruickshank all have solid runs under their belts. This will be a crackerjack match, although Grovedale should have too much class. Other selections: Leopold v BELL

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE POST HILL, EAST BELMONT v Manifold Heights, ST JOSEPHS v North Geelong, GEELONG WEST v Lara, Thomson v NEWTOWN and CHILWELL. In division two, one of the pre-season favourites St Peters finds itself languishing in 10th place on the ladder without a win to its name. They take on Marshall tomorrow, sitting just inside the top six and fighting to stay there. A loss for the Saints will mean it will be difficult to see them contest this year’s finals. They do possess some quality players in Stephen Illingworth and Charlie Lamb, but need more support. The Bears have enjoyed a good run of form after a few struggling seasons. Mark Brady has been a good acquisition as captain coach and he has Brad Greenwood and young gun Kal Dubbledam performing well with the ball and Jason van Beek with the bat. Other selections: GEELONG CITY v Newcomb and District, Highton v GUILD ST MARYS, Alexander Thomson v ST ALBANS BREAKWATER, North Shore v WAURN PONDS, TORQUAY v Murgheboluc. Second placed Corio take on third placed Winchelsea in division three, a match that could start to break up the log jam at the top of the ladder. As both sides have two wins to their name, a win here will put them right up there with a shot at a high finish, while a loss will consign them to a struggle to stay with the pack. Corio have gun bat Michael Ebborn in form with support from Jason Stewart, while Terry and Darren Shelley are bowling well. Glen Hampshire, Daniel Johnson and David Partridge have all performed well for Winchelsea and will hold the key to this crucial match. Selections: BELL PARK v Corio Bay, MEREDITH v Modewarre, Winchelsea v CORIO, TEESDALE v Bannockburn, LITTLE RIVER v Inverleigh, Lethbridge bye.

GEELONG and the Bellarine Peninsula offer countless fishing opportunities for all anglers, be it land-based or boat. Geelong’s fabulous waterfront produces action a plenty from Cunningham Pier, where the fighting snotty trevalla are generally present both early morning and late evening. Chicken is always the best bait and those in the know will tend to marinate the chicken in tuna oil for a few hours as this is a sure winner on this species. Soft plastics anglers will find anywhere between the Cunningham Pier and the Royal Geelong Yacht Club perfect on the high tides. North Shore rocks is possibly the bay’s deepest land based hotspot. Of an evening pike will keep you occupied on small baitfish profile lures; bibbed options are always best if conditions allow you to cast these lightweight lures. Boat fishing can be terrific over the coming weeks from the Clifton Springs side of the Alcoa Pier as salmon patrol the area during the summer months. Soft plastics cast under the pier will work well provided its not too crowded; trolling deep running lures will also bring results. Hermsley spoil grounds fish well on the high tide running off, using fresh bait or soft plastics to catch whiting, snapper and squid. Snapper will start to spread off the channel lines over the coming weeks so look to see the fish – especially the smaller varieties – to become more prevalent. Currently the best fishing is from the deeper water off Pt Richards and St Leonards. Fresh squid has been the bait of choice but pilchards are always a great option. Whiting are firing up and as the water temperature increases they will only come on; once again fresh bait makes the dif-
