School kids on the ball at Surf Coast’s ‘world cup’ Lifesavers in BY ERIN PEARSON HUNDREDS of children from across the Surf Coast competed at Connewarre Reserve this week to battle for the title of inter-school soccer cup champions. More than 260 year three and four pupils from Mount Duneed, Moriac, Bellbrae, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Winchelsea contested the Surf Coast Schools World Cup. Lorne-Airey’s combined boys beat Bellbrae four-nil in the grand final to clinch the cup. Lorne-Airey’s went down to MoriacCeres in a five-shot penalty shoot-out after tying two-all in the girls’ grand final. Organiser Joe Taylor said the competition had grown “so big” over six years that cup would include a senior leg later this year. “We started with just a couple of Bellbrae and Torquay teams and now all local schools are participating,” he said. “It’s great. We never envisaged it would get so big.” Mr Taylor said the competition was important to keeping children active. “Teachers said they had several kids who were previously reluctant to participate in sport really get into the games, which was so great to see. “The kids are playing in a team, so even though some might not be natural sporty types and normally hang back a bit they’re encouraged to give it a go and end up having a great day.” Mr Taylor said a further 260 children from years five and six competed on Having a ball: Lorne-Airey’s girls, in white, take on Moriac-Ceres in the grand final of Tuesday’s competition.

title victories BY ERIN PEARSON SURF Coast athletes have dominated Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships in Queensland this week, winning more than 20 medals in masters events. Anglesea’s Naantali Marshall topped the medal count with victories in the 35-39 years surf, rescue tube, iron woman and surfboard events. Anglesea club members won 11 of the 22 senior events. Club co-captain Abby Lewtas was “extremely proud” of the masters winners. “Sometimes you don’t see all the hard work that’s goes on behind the scenes with all the training, so when you hear these sorts of results it’s so fantastic. The club’s got a great group of competitors.” Ms Lewtas, who was set to compete in beach events from Thursday to Saturday, said her coach and fellow club member, Peter Van Miltenburg, won gold in the beach relay and bronze in the 50 to 54 years beach flags. Anglesea’s Julia Cullity won gold in the 30-39 years women’s champion lifesaver race. Jan Juc’s Cassidy Redden won bronze in the under-19 men’s champion race. Other winners included Jan Juc’s Dean Sibun, Lorne’s Tristan Read and Anglesea’s Matthew Symington and Ryan Hartshorne. Fairhaven teams won two mixed team’s surf boat events.

Bells charges dropped dropped the charges after he argued they had “insufficient evidence”. The three charges carried a maximum combined prison term of 10 years and eight months, he said. The shire complained to police in August that Mr Cole, a former member of council’s Bells Beach Advisory Committee, drilled two holes in a stormwater pipe. The shire alleged he caused $1000 damage.

Mr Cole later formed Bells Beach Preservation Society after the shire notified him and other advisory committee members that their terms had expired. Mr Cole had publicly criticised the shire’s management of Bells Beach and council plans to redevelop the reserve. Surf Coast Shire refuses to answer questions from the Independent.

Mr Cole’s lawyer said he was pleased police had dropped their case against his client. “The charges have been rightfully dropped without cost. They were very serious charges that shouldn’t have been pursued.” Mr Cole, a cancer victim, previously told the Independent that he feared a conviction could prevent him travelling overseas for potentially lifesaving medical treatment.

The pipe was later identified as containing asbestos and left to spread material over the beach. The shire removed the pipe after complaints from Geelong Trades and Labour Council and surfers. Mr Cole told the Independent in September that he drilled the holes to relieve pressure so the overflowing pipe would stop damaging an adjacent cliff face and washing away beach sand.

ABOUT 100 golfers have chipped in with thousands of dollars for the region’s peak aged care and rehabilitation centre. The golfers competed in last Friday’s McKellar Centre Charity Golf Day at 13th Beach to raise about $15,000. Organising committee member Kerry O’Sullivan called this year’s golf day an “excellent” event. “It was a great day with beautiful weather. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to playing again next year.” The proceeds will help the centre buy a machine for lifting immobile patients from change rooms into the centre’s hydrotherapy pool. The pool was a previous fundraising project for the golf day, along with a landscaped outdoor area and a machine for helping identify problems with patients’ walking styles. The golf day, which the Independent has sponsored since the event’s inception, has now raised almost $370,000 for McKellar Centre. Geelong’s WelshKline Financial Group is also a major sponsor. A four-member Target team won the ambrose event, with each taking home a sixmonth membership to Geelong gym Club Exec. Mr O’Sullivan was on the runner-up McKellar team, whose members won iPod docking stations from Harvey Norman. The Independent’s team finished last. “We’ll still be back next year,” said managing editor Tony Galpin. “It’s only up from here, hopefully.”

Residents win call for inquiry into Anglesea River ‘fish kills’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN RESIDENTS have won their push for an independent inquiry into fish kills in Anglesea River, according to a spokesperson for South Barwon MP Andrew Katos. The spokesperson confirmed State Government would officially announce the inquiry this Friday. Residents petitioned parliament for an inquiry last month. Mr Katos presented the petition to parliament on behalf of Anglesea’s MP, Member for Polwarth Terry Mulder. Mr Mulder’s role as a minister disallows him from presenting petitions. Mr Katos’s spokesman said Mr Mulder and Evironment Minister Ryan Smith would announce the inquiry.

The 697-signature petition called for immediate remedial action to fix the “environmental disaster that has befallen the river”. The petition also asked for answers on whether government departments had followed appropriate procedures on dealing with fish-kill events. A Surf Coast fishing identity said residents were keenly awaiting the inquiry’s terms of reference. “This is a huge step for a sitting government to order an independent inquiry,” he said. The petition said an inquiry was essential to “restore confidence in both fishing and tourism generated” by the river. “Over decades the fishing and tourism from Anglesea River has

generated millions of dollars of income for Anglesea and the district. This expenditure in Anglesea and in its region is now under threat,” the petition said. “There are multiple factors affecting the river’s water quality, from increasing demand for bore water, fire management in the catchment and licensed discharge into the river system.” A series of fish kills beginning September led to authorities warning against contact with the river water. Corangamite Catchment Management Authority said tests indicated natural processes had affected acidity levels in the river. Surf Coast Shire declared the river safe for recreational activity last month.

Report ‘threatening’ taxi driver livelihoods BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG taxi drivers could lose airline passenger business if State Government and Avalon Airport adopt a report to increase competition in Melbourne, according to Geelong’s taxi boss. Geelong Taxi Network’s Peter Valentine said the “nonsense” report could ruin the livelihoods of his drivers. The Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission’s independent report recommended that Melbourne drivers compete for customers with Geelong taxis at Avalon.

Existing licensing conditions restrict Melbourne drivers from waiting for customers beyond Werribee unless jobs were pre-booked. But Mr Valentine said that under the report recommendations Melbourne drivers would be able to wait at the airport for fares without bookings, putting them in direct competition with Geelong taxis. The Melbourne cabs would seek passengers headed back to the city, taking the most-profitable fares from Geelong drivers, he feared. “If they only service Melbourne

trips, what about the livelihood of Geelong drivers who rely on those from Avalon?” The commission, which make recommendations on competitively managing state business sectors, said the report identified problems with customer service, driver knowledge and availability of taxis. Avalon Airport general manager Justin Giddings said the recommendations could drive down taxi fares and improve customer service. Mr Giddings said the recommendations could overcome the airport’s

“problems” with Geelong drivers only accepting fares to Melbourne. Melbourne taxis might be able to use the recommendations to introduce pre-paid fares for runs between Melbourne and Avalon, driving down costs to passengers, he said. “We had a complaint the other day from a customer who paid $170 to get to Dandenong and paid only $20 for their airfare, they were completely unaware the cost would be so high,” he said. “It’s not good for Geelong and it’s happening quite a bit. We need $70 pre-paid fares between Avalon and Melbourne.”

Subculture ‘boom’ driving new fashions in Geelong BY JOHN VAN KLEVEREN GEELONG is experiencing rapid growth in urban subcultures, fuelling high demand for tattoos, music and fashion, according to youth officers and retailers. Tattooist Gene Gardiner said the city now attracted a variety of subcultures. “Geelong has really embraced tattoos, for instance, more than most places in Australia,” Mr Gardiner said. “There are a dozen or more studios or artists operating now. There was less than a handful before.” Mr Gardiner, who operates Ink Tattoo Studio, said young people were “bombarded” with celebrities and sports stars with tattoos. “People aren’t moving away to the big city these days. Younger kids are sticking around, living at home and so they have money to spend.” Purple Cow Clothing owner Nick Austin said his store was catering for young people using fashion as an expression of individuality. “It used to be underground but Geelong’s subcultures have grown over time,” Mr Austin said. “Skating, tattoos, hardcore music, all were once seen as troublesome but have now become different ways for people to express themselves. “They’re saying ‘We’re not bad asses, even if we look like it’. They’re just not afraid to be who they are.” Mr Austin said urban subcultures were marrying sport, social interests, technology and fashion with a greater weight of numbers than ever before. “Being an independent store, it’s up to us to be unique if we want to survive in a monopolised world. That flexibility to be unique makes us strong – we’ll sell five items instead of 500 but we can bring in a much wider variety of styles.” Popular skating website Three Thousand lauded Geelong’s water-

in brief Survivor surfer A WOMAN who lost an arm in a shark attack as a teenager will compete against the world’s best female surfers at Bells Beach this Easter, according to event sponsor Rip Curl. The company announced Hawaiian Bethany Hamilton would compete in the Rip Curl Pro as the sole wildcard against the world’s top 17.

Rail start GEELONG will secure a dedicated train line to Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station after State Government decided to go ahead with a multi-billion-dollar Regional Rail Project, according to Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder. He said the project has earned a green light despite the Baillieu Government inheriting a “massive shortfall” in funding for the project from the previous Labor administration.

Tiger’s 250,000 TIGER Airways has celebrated carrying its 250,000th passenger through Avalon Airport, the budget airline has announced. The company said the passenger flew to Adelaide on Wednesday less than five months after Tiger began flying from Avalon.

Chapel cash SACRED Heart College has secured $60,000 in Federal Government Funding to rebuild a slate roof on the college’s historic chapel, according to Corio MP Richard Marles. He said the 1874 chapel had been closed since last year due to the roof’s “poor state of repair”, which had worsened with cockatoos pulling off tiles to nest inside the roof cavity.

Landcare walk THE CHAIRMAN of Southern Otway Landcare Group has walked along beaches from Point Lonsdale to Apollo Bay over five days. Simon Pockley said the 200-kilometre trek had given him a “different perspective” on the coast, including numerous landslips along the Great Ocean Road since heavy rains earlier this year.

Chamber vote SIX NOMINEES will compete for five director positions on Geelong Chamber of Commerce. A notice of annual general meeting for the chamber said the nominees were Mark Davis, Peter Landers, David Mackay, John Sisley, Paul Smart and Hayden Spurling.

Centre launch A NEW community service centre is set to open in Geelong to provide support for the disabled and young people “unable to live with their family”. EW Tipping Foundation said Mental Health, Women’s Affairs and Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge would officially open the foundation’s centre in Gheringhap Street’s Focus Five building on Tuesday.

Farm tours Tatt’s nice: Customer ‘Tom’ has new tattoos applied at Ink Tattoo Studio. Picture: John Conway front skate park as “the best in Victoria, if not Australia”. The website credited the facility with stimulating the popularity of skating in Geelong. Shinto Tattoos owner Jason Stewart said social media and television shows like Miami Ink had stimulated the growth of urban subcultures. “Youth are the new surge in customers and tattoo artists, whether they are up to it or not, are cashing in on the trend,” Mr Stewart said.

Professional Tattooing Association of Australia national secretary Patsy Farrow said the art form once had a social stigma. “People thought if you had a tattoo you were a biker or a sailor but now it has become mainstream. There’s been a significant shift in people’s attitudes.” Geelong Regional Library youth support officer Brendan Boniface said widespread use of social media was spreading the rise of urban subcul-

tures. “We’re trying to respond to the numbers of youth now involved in urban subcultures,” he said. “Geelong has been rocked by a few sad incidences involving cyber-bullying and we need to bring some understanding and awareness to the situation. Mr Boniface said a theatrical production called Love Drunk at Drysdale’s Potato Shed in June would seek to raise awareness of the traps in the nightlife scene.

ORGANISERS of a new promotion have called for families in the Geelong region to spend a day down on a farm. They said FarmDay on May 28 and 29 would open up rural properties for “urban families” to discover the food production process, with registrations to participate open at farmday.com.au.

Rockin’ funding SECONDARY students aross the region will have another chance to step out in Victorian Rock Eisteddfod Challenge, according to Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith. He said the Baillieu Government had committed to a funding increase of $200,000 to ensure the event went ahead after organisers called curtains due to a shortfall in state financial support last year.

GPS call for autistic kids BY ERIN PEARSON LARA’S Janine Roberts lives in daily fear of her children vanishing. “You’re always listening for a door to click. You feel violently ill at the time.” “There’s nothing you can do to prevent these kids from escaping.” Ms Roberts is among thousands of Victorian parents with autistic children. She has added her voice to calls for State Government to fund a GPS bracelet program to track down autistic children when they go missing. The calls have grown louder since an autistic six-year-old boy wandered from his home and was hit and killed by a train in Geelong last week. “We live in a virtual prison,” Ms Roberts said. “We’ve had alarms on all doors, we’ve had extensions on all the fences, all in the fear that my three children could bolt. “There’s technology out there so families could track missing kids with mobile phones or internet connections, but there’s

and the co-accused drove away. “She (Harrison) made a nocomment interview,” Sen Const Moroney said. Police seized and destroyed $116 worth of meat from the car, the court heard. The manager retrieved more than $300 worth of meat from the boot. Harrison’s lawyer described his client as “an independent young lady” with “motivation to stay on the straight and narrow”. He said Harrison had suffered a heroin addiction, mental health issues and depression. “She was involved with the theft to get some money. (She) had a particularly tough childhood…she self-medicated with heroin. “There has been a turn around in her life…I ask the court to take into account she is a youthful offender.” Magistrate Ron Saines convicted and fined Harrison $400 for the theft and $500 for failing to pay the prior fines for driving offences. “It seems to me you entered these premises with the intent to do what you did,” Mr Saines said. “It’s fortunate you weren’t charged with burglary as well as theft. “I accept there has been some progress you have made.”

no dedicated system in Victoria.” One in 160 Australian children have autism, the nation’s most widespread developmental disorder. Ms Roberts recalled her own children’s disappearances. “I went to the toilet once and Stephanie jumped an eight foot-fence when she was just eight-years-old.” Rosemary Malone, the chief of Geelong disability support provider Gateways, said GPS devices could be useful for families with wandering autistic children, although not all wandered. “If a person has an interest in water or a particular thing and they focus on reaching that sometimes they’re not aware of the danger involved,” she said. Community Services Minster Mary Wooldridge said she would investigate funding the program. “On Saturday during a rally for World Autism Awareness Day I met with a number of Geelong parents and discussed options to ensure the safety of children with autism. I have requested further information.”

BY KIM WATERS A NEWCOMB butcher retrieved meat from the boot of a car as thieves tried to get away with over $400 worth of his products, Geelong Magistrates Court heard this week. Jessica Harrison, 21, was fined for her role in the heist but avoided jail after pleading guilty to theft and failure to pay a $300 fine for prior convictions. Police prosecutor Senior Constable Kerrie Moroney told the court Harrison attended Newcomb’s Tasman Meats with three friends on March 29 last year. Snr Const Moroney said one of the accused distracted a sales assistant with “questions about meat” while Harrison and the two others stuffed $475.47 worth of products into baskets and bags. One of the co-accused attempted to walk out of the store three times through one-way electric doors before holding them open for Harrison who carried out an ALDI bag full of meat. Snr Const Moroney said a staff member saw Harrison and the co-accused “exit without paying” and alerted the manager who chased them to their car. The manager retrieved “what he thought was all the meat” from the boot before Harrison

BY KIM WATERS LATEST technology has delivered a new level of care for premature and ill babies in the region, according to Geelong’s St John of God Hospital. Chief executive officer Stephen Roberts unveiled the equipment when he launched the hospital’s refurbished special care nursery on Wednesday. The “state-of-the-art” nursery had ranked the private hospital as the nation’s premier neonatal facility outside metropolitan Melbourne, he said. The hospital’s staff cared for more than 200 of the region’s ill and premature babies each year. “It is thanks to the Geelong community that we’ve been able to fit our nursery with equipment not previously found in a regional hospital,” Mr Roberts said. Geelong Mayor John Mitchell officially Oh, baby: Director of nursing Kate Gillan opened the facility on Wednesday night. Cr Mitchell donated half of the proceeds from and clinical nurse specialist Maree Kelly at his charity performance at last month’s Great St John of God Hospital.

‘Petition call’ for sport cash BY KIM WATERS A FEDERAL MP is petitioning State Government for funding to upgrade Ocean Grove’s “appalling” Shell Road sports reserve. Labor Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman said he wanted Victoria to match Federal Government’s promise of $2 million to upgrade the reserve. He called the existing facilities “absolutely appalling”. “The facilities are completely antiquated,” Mr Cheeseman said. “The soccer club has two construction sheds to change in and if there are men’s and women’s games on at the same time it’s a problem.

“Ocean Grove Football Club has outgrown its premises and the netballers are suffering appalling conditions as well.” Mr Cheeseman said the petition had 600 signatures so far, proving residents were maintaining their 25-year battle for funding. “Now we need State Government to come to the party. There has been a lot of spin from the Liberal party but no real commitment to this project.” Mr Cheeseman wanted to see the money in next month’s state budget. The Independent reported last month that the Government was

“fast-tracking” a funding request for the upgrade. Liberal Member for Western Victoria Simon Ramsay said he had asked the Sports Minister to make Ocean Grove a “special project”. He rejected Labor MP Lisa Neville’s allegation in the Independent that State Government had ruled out funding the project.

‘Stranger’ fears hold back help BY ERIN PEARSON THE DEATH of a six-year-old boy hit by a train last week suggests the “stranger danger” message has gone too far, according to the city’s new top cop. Inspector Chris Gawne said the autistic six-year-old might have survived if witnesses who saw him heading for the Norlane tracks had felt confident to apprehend him. “No doubt the people who saw the little boy prior to his death will be questioning themselves forever. Although there is nothing they can do now it should be a lesson learnt that people need to report something unusual or step in and help a child where possible,” Insp Gawne said. “A person’s natural instinct should take over and people should have a common sense attitude toward these types of situation. I fear the strangerdanger message has tipped the scale the other way. “Help never came for the little boy.” Multiple witnesses reported to police after the accident that they had seen the Corio boy wandering alone near the tracks on March 30. Insp Gawne urged quick action

from witnesses of apparent danger or crime. “No matter how small it may seem, if it raises a concern in you contact 000 if you see something immediately or contact the station or Crimestoppers,” he said. “Something minor could nip something major in the bud.” A Safety House Victoria spokesperson said the stranger danger message was often “scary” for young children, so many schools were also teaching pupils about the organisation’s safe houses. “The program is taught to kids to recognise danger and when things aren’t right.” The spokeswoman said the program, active for 31 years, had suffered a decline in volunteers, with many people “too busy” to help their communities through Safety House Victoria. The organisation has about 87 committees covering more than 120 schools, with around 6000 registered Safety Houses in Victoria. Safety Houses operate in East Geelong and Torquay.

Any person who will be required to pay the special charge can object to the proposed declaration in writing on by 5:00pm 9 May 2011. Any person who is an occupier is entitled to exercise a right of objection if documentary evidence is submitted which shows that it is a condition of the lease under which the person occupies the property, that the occupier is to pay the special charge. Any person may lodge a written submission by 5:00pm 9 May 2011 which will be considered in accordance with section 223 of the Local Government Act 1989. Persons requesting to be heard in support of their submission may appear before a committee of Council, the day, time and place of which will be advised. Objections and submissions must be mailed to the City of Greater Geelong, Engineering Design Unit, PO Box 104 Geelong Vic 3220. For further Information on the proposed declaration, the making of a written objection or submission or attending the meeting please contact Council on 5272 5272.

THIS is a tale of two auxiliaries; the small but dedicated bands of men and women across Geelong raising desperately needed funds for worthy causes. Most of them rarely receive any publicity but their beneficiary organisations would be worse off without their efforts. Ruth Mann has been a member of Geelong West Hospital Auxiliary (GWHA) for 17 years and secretary for the past 10. “We have 18 members, down from 26, and it’s hard to get new members even though the club has been going for 90 years,” Ruth mused. “We’re all getting on in years and there’s a lack of young blood, so it looks like eventually we might fold.” Monique HolmesRichardson is part of a younger team of volunteers running Our Women Our Children, which also raises money for Barwon Health. The group had been operating for five years, Monique said, with 15 volunteers and growing – slowly. “The majority of us were already working as volunteers for a national organisation and decided we wanted the funds we were raising to be utilised in our local community,” Monique explained. The auxiliary concept hails from a time when the groups were common and an accepted

buckets & bouquets BUCKETS to Geelong’s mall rats for making public nuisances of themselves. I have an idea to disperse them quickly. Since water restrictions have been eased, the ground-spray fountains outside Market Square Shopping Centre should be operated again – then we’ll have water rats instead! Keith, Whittington BOUQUETS to Shell Club for its monthly entertainment and also to Suzanne and Barbara, who are always cheerful and obliging. Happy Customer, Lara BUCKETS to a computer service technician. I bought a secondhand computer and called back for advice on fixing the sound. When I couldn’t understand his explanation due to my limited computer knowledge he was rude and hung up on me. He also did this to me on a previous occasion. AG, Newcomb BUCKETS to Tori (Buckets and Bouquets, March 25). You should have spoken to me about my daughter attending The Wiggles rather than bagging me in the paper. Bouquets to the Arena for being kind and understanding after my daughter became ill and to Aunt Char for the change of clothes. Disappointed Mum, Norlane BOUQUETS to Sue Robinson and Shearer’s Arms Gallery for making such a success of my collage exhibition, 80 PLUS during March. DB, Newtown

BUCKETS to the lack of car parks and footpaths at Portarlington. While we circle like vultures waiting for parks, the streets are congested and hazardous to pedestrians. What about parking for mothers with babies and children? The old crossing is an accident waiting to happen. Paths And Parks For Mums Too, Portarlington BOUQUETS to the CFA, superhero landlords, family, friends, health workers and St Vincent de Paul for helping our brother and his housemate get back on their feet after their house burnt down. The generosity meant the world to him. Grateful Family, Queenscliff BUCKETS to a new drive-through business and its employees who constantly and unnecessarily activated pedestrian lights to stop cars and attract the attention of drivers. No Longer Interested, Highton BOUQUETS to Queenscliff Diving Centre’s Shannon. Her bubbly personality and knowledge of all things under the sea made our scuba diving experience even more amazing. Shane and Jenny, Lovely Banks BUCKETS to Proud Patriot (Buckets and Bouquets, April 1) for failing to acknowledge that places overseas do in fact change their ways of life to suit Australians, such as Bali and Phuket. Travelling Aussie, East Geelong

BUCKETS to a community centre for state-of-the-art facilities but freezing cold showers. I pay $95 a month but the centre is unable to fix the problem due to plumbing issues. How long do we have to wait for hot showers, especially as winter approaches? Shivering David, Grovedale BUCKETS to whoever stole my door mat on March 18. The mat had printed on it ‘One spoiled rotten cat lives here’ with an image of a cat face. It was a gift from my mum who died last year. Please return it, no questions asked. Kathy, Breakwater BOUQUETS to Waterworld Norlane for its women-only swimming sessions. What a fantastic way to celebrate cultural diversity and community connections between women. All women should have an opportunity to exercise in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Healthy women mean healthy families and healthy communities. Lauren, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to the people responsible for the painted bus shelters on Melbourne Road. They are bright, colourful and such a contrast to the previous shelters. Very Impressed, Lara BOUQUETS to the girls at Filigree Factory Outlet. I spent over two hours choosing curtains and colours for my pensioner mother. When I went to pay I found that my wallet had been stolen. The girls held the goods for two weeks until my cards were reissued. Colleen, North Geelong BOUQUETS to the honest person who handed in my purse after I left it on a bench in Leopold’s post office on March 8. It made my day. Very Grateful, Leopold BOUQUETS to Fagg’s Mitre 10 North Geelong manager Nick. He is friendly, helpful and a bloke who is valued by customers. McCullough, Geelong West BOUQUETS to Will for 21 years of management and mentoring at Wallington Mitre 10. Staff, Drysdale

BOUQUETS to two gentlemen who pulled over to help my dad and little sister get him back in his wheelchair after he tripped on the road. Jacob, Highton BUCKETS to Shelly Stavenuiter for tipping sevens winners in the Independent’s Tip Stars last week. I enjoyed her egregious efforts last year, which made me feel quite superior. Brian, Norlane

MARCH was the eighth month in a row of above-average rain in most of the Geelong region. Most of the city’s southern suburbs as well as southern areas of the region such as the Otways recorded falls exceeding the monthly average. The Geelong Airport weather station near Mount Duneed registered 33.4mm compared to the average 31.9mm. North and northwest of the urban area, however, as well as a large part of the Bellarine Peninsula recorded marginally below-average rain. The lowest falls were in part of Corio where only 13mm was recorded. The wettest 24 hours for the month added 24.2mm to the total at 9am on March 10. Otherwise, the rest of March lived up to its reputation as the region’s usually driest month. March was cooler than the long-term normal at Geelong Airport by .6C. Daily minimums averaged 12.1C compared to the mean of 12C, while maximums averaged 21.8C compared to the mean 23.1C. The warmest day reached 32C on March 7 and three days of the month were over 30C. On the coldest days the maximum reached 16.6C on March 4 and 18. The warmest overnight temperature was 18.8C on the night of March 7 to 8, with the and the coldest, 7.2C, overnight from the 5th to 6th. March also marked a fairly typical start to autumn in Geelong, with settled conditions and only one windy day when gusts over 60km/h were recorded on the 30th. Several foggy starts and a large number of blue skies were also features of the month, with no storms or frosts recorded.

letters New inspector gunna try again I READ in the April 1 Independent about Geelong’s new police inspector saying he was going to make the area safer. I have read many stories about making the Geelong area safer over many years gone by. But each time the police have had any ideas the problems have just grown worse than before, so the people

of Geelong call their police inspectors “gunnas” because nothing gets solved or made better. The people of Geelong have had enough and want things done right this time. Shaun Richens Newcomb

Nature of hunting is fair game I BUY the vast majority of my family’s meat, poultry and fish from the local butcher and fishmongers. Occasionally, as a last resort or for convenience, I shop at one of the larger supermarkets. I insist on free-range birds and animals wherever possible. It is important to me these animals enjoyed a contented, natural life before they were harvested – just like wild game harvested by hunters. On those all-too-few occasions when the pressure of modern life permits, I hunt and fish to supplement the family larder. I find the experience of getting back to nature extremely rewarding. For me, it is a necessary reality check and a reminder of who we really are and where we came from. We humans are natural hunter-gatherers. Responsible recreational hunting and fishing are wholesome activities

enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. Those who oppose hunting and fishing are the ones who have sadly lost touch with nature, reality and reason. I notice the RSPCA is funding an expensive campaign calling for a ban on duck hunting in Victoria, implying we should follow other states and giving the impression Victoria is the last bastion of duck hunting in the world. On this I make two points. First, while there is no annual duck opening media event as such, ducks are hunted year round in Western Australia and New South Wales on pest mitigation licenses. Second, only one country has ever banned any form of recreational hunting. You guessed it, Australia, the once-lucky country! Gary Matchan Mount Doran

Cross over delays at lights WHY DO pedestrians have to push a button to get a green walk sign? Arriving at the crossing a mere second or so after cross traffic gets the red light and pushing the button is absolutely useless. It will not give you a green walk. Therefore, pedestrians either try to be patient while waiting for another complete cycle of traffic control or cross against the red walk sign. The answer is to make the green walk sign automatically activate when the

HAVE YOUR SAY

cross traffic is stopped with a red light and it is safe to cross except when turn arrows are in operation. The blinking donot-cross light could still operate because the safety of starting to cross would be evident. In this day of automation it should be a simple procedure. Surely this would increase police numbers for carrying out more important duties. Bob Appleton Grovedale

Better than nothing I THANK Tim Flannery and others for presenting a clear, accessible picture of current climate science and predicted impacts. No, Thomas Watson (Letters, April 1), Professor Flannery did not say that carbon dioxide emitted today would take 1000 years to have an effect. In fact, it is the opposite: carbon dioxide we emit today will still be having an effect for hundreds of years. Climate scientists say quite clearly that the .8C of warming already experienced has been enough to cause record temperatures, heatwaves and extreme weather events. Many of us do not wish to live on a planet where extreme heat, bushfires and droughts become the norm and wish to take action to reduce carbon emissions now. A carbon tax is necessary to give the correct signals to industry and to factor in the damage that

What we leave behind THE VIEWS expressed by contributors to last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters in the Independent amplified the need for clarity and balance regarding climate change hysteria. Civilisation has progressed and prospered through centuries of discovery, innovation, experimentation, technological advances and, importantly, altruism to present and future generations. History illustrates that kindness, fairness and generosity is the greatest wealth one can attain. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economies we have expanded populations to unprecedented levels. The strain on the planet to accommodate, feed, clothe, educate, employ, entertain and satisfy everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands has reached an unsustainable level. Conceding reductions in lifestyle quality are unpopular but necessary and inevitable. Science, economics and business aside, what are we doing to our planet? What are we leaving future generations to inherit? Parents know selfishness is intolerable. By the time we become grandparents sentience and wisdom prevail and we realise our existence is or was for continuity of the human species. Therefore the important issue is not whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right or wrong but what we leave behind. At our current rate of exploitation of Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources there will be nothing left for our future relatives to inherit. Instead of dissecting the science of anthropogenic climate change, we should reduce our wasteful consumption of everything with non-toxic, sustainable methods of energy generation and restraining our greedy excesses because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right thing to do. Ralph Huisman Belmont

Taxed into oblivion LAST Tuesday President Nicolas Sarkozy scrapped Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed carbon tax after a crushing electoral defeat of his Gaulliste UMP party.

The UMP lost every region except Alsace - its bastion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Reunion, which is an Indian Ocean island. The French Government indefinitely postponed its energy tax to avoid damaging â&#x20AC;&#x153;the competitiveness of French companiesâ&#x20AC;?, fearing it was too risky for France to go it alone because an EU-wide energy tax looked doomed. Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main business lobby said this was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;reliefâ&#x20AC;?. The tax would have been 17 Euros a tonne but the business lobby feared the rate â&#x20AC;&#x153;would creep up over time.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard followed President Sarkozy. She has no mandate for a carbon tax â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not politicly, not economically, not scientifically and not morally. She should call an election. The sooner the better for Australia and the Australian Labor Party. The longer she delays the deeper and longer will be carbon tax oblivion for the ALP and the Greens. Gordon Alderson North Geelong

AM I alone in struggling to understand the logic of the Labor carbon tax? Julia Gillard tells us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed to save us from the perils of global warming. So how much will this costly carbon tax reduce temperatures by? Even global warming zealots like Tim Flannery admit it will be zero but they go on to say that Australia must take a lead on this gravest of threats to mankind. So doing something is better than doing nothing even though the outcome will achieve nothing? Hmm. I guess that is why Labor gave the green light to build the desalination monument to the green gods, which will cost Victorians billions of dollars and likely never be used. As an aside, if global warming is real the desal plant will be covered by rising seas and be inoperable. History does tell that when reason is killed off, folly fills the void. Brian Handley Geelong

A CITY can be measured arbitrarily by clean and accessible public toilets, successfully hosting a circus or cranes dotting the skyline. While the aforementioned trifecta applies to major cities, why shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it apply locally given that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s readily achievable? While City of Greater Geelong and affiliates G21, Committee for Geelong, Geelong Chamber of Commerce and a handful of long-standing business families have roles to play and I have the greatest admiration for City personnel administering waste disposal, libraries, services to the home-bound and for those making token representations on Avalon and CBD revival, when push comes to shove on subscriptions and other pointy issues well-remunerated heads canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be contacted. In the wash-up, though, comes the relevance of getting a residential base back into the CBD. They neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all be Deakin students and staff but Deakin University, given a fair go, could lay an additional serious footprint. The university will have the capacity to draw on federal funding down the track once some normality to governance occurs. In the interim and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been asked before, what is the Baillieu Government prepared to do for Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have implemented the heritage and library centre and Deakin upgrades and the proposed convention centre and a crack at a profitable, rejuvenated CBD and effective bus transit within our lifetimes. The Baillieu Government needs to appoint an administrative unit to get the cranes up and the jobs done. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

carbon emissions are causing. But Federal Government must also act to promote renewable energy through a gross national feed-in tariff and other measures. Rather than leading to doom, the clean-energy future of solar, thermal, wind and wave power will lead to more local jobs and a sustainable future for the Geelong region. As all of the speakers at the Geelong climate change conversation stressed, doing nothing is the worst choice we can make. Dave Campbell Geelong Sustainability Group

Cheapest Waterfront Homes in Australia A

n absolute waterfront village on the Bellarine Peninsula situated only 9km from the heart of Geelong is offering possibly the cheapest waterfront homes in Australia! Selling from just $136,500 for a one bedroom home (conditions apply), Pelican Shores Estate is a secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged.

Like many bab baby boomers heading to towards ke man ards retirement, you may be at the stage where you are starting to consider your future lifestyle. This is a major life decision and, after considering all the options available, more and more baby boomers are making the move into over-50s lifestyle villages like Pelican Shores Estate. At Pelican Shores you can enjoy an amazing waterfront location, downsize to hassle-free living and become part of a vibrant, active and like-minded community. You may also be able to free up extra cash to spend on the more

enjoyable things in life like travel. Another big attraction of this lifestyle option is the variety of designs and styles of manufactured homes from which to choose. Where established retirement villages often have homes that are already built and the buyer has no real opportunity to customise the design, a Pelican Shores Estate home is built in a quality controlled factory and can be easily personalised to reflect your individual tastes and needs. That means you can specify exactly what you want in your new home. An important feature for many new residents at Pelican Shores Estate is that their manufactured home and residential site has been designed to require the minimum of maintenance, leaving you free to enjoy the wonderful waterfront lifestyle on offer. We asked Andrew Hoffman of Hampshire Property Group, which is a supplier of manufactured homes to resorts in NSW and Victoria, why anyone would buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village rather than a place in a retirement village. “That’s easy,” he answered. “When you buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village there are minimal additional costs involved and the home design can be tailored to your specific needs. You may also be eligible for Commonwealth financial assistance and it makes better financial sense because you can avoid the additional cost of deferred management fees. In fact, the better question to ask would be, ‘Why buy in a retirement village?’”

Pelican Shores Estate gives you the freedom to lock up your home, hook up the caravan or boat and hit the open road at the drop of a hat, safe in the knowledge that the gated community, professional and caring managers and friendly neighbours will keep an eye on your home for you. Being a pet-friendly village is also a greatly appreciated benefit to our residents. Those seeking the fun and companionship that a community such as Pelican Shores Estate has to offer can take advantage of the active social committee, village facilities that include a swimming pool, and a community centre that caters for all your social and recreational requirements. Boaties can join our boat club and use the jetty and boat ramp facilities. Pelican Shores Estate is situated on the stunning shores of Corio Bay. Come and visit with our friendly sales staff; soak up the atmosphere of our beautiful waterfront location; take a stroll along the boardwalk; inspect our new homes and discover how you too can enjoy a waterfront lifestyle. You are guaranteed to fall in love with Pelican Shores Estate Lifestyle Village!

BY GREG CRAWFORD, M.A.P FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS ontributing to superannuation and getting growth in investments is only one way people can increase funds. Another way that is potentially very fruitful is to use the system to save tax in a way that can grow the funds significantly. This is through contributing to super through taxdeductible contributions, such as salary sacrificing, and also contributions that qualify for a matching government co-contribution. Salary sacrifice contributions involve a tax of 15 per cent rather than the marginal rate, which can be as high as 46.5 per cent. People over the age of 55 should be rolling superannuation over to an account-based pension fund. Not doing so means that significant tax is paid that could instead have been used to grow the retirement savings. You can draw income payments that are either tax-free or tax-advantaged to enable even greater contributions to be made back into super. The net extra contributed is effectively the tax that would otherwise be payable. There are many strategies that a financial planner will consider and advise on. If you would like more information phone M.A.P Financial Solutions on 5229 0200.

Bay’s affair of the Hart BY ERIN PEARSON AUSTRALIAN singer Angie Hart will play on the Surf Coast this weekend after an illustrious journey through music. Hart who grew up in a Christian commune, fronted bands Frente! and Splendid, and climbed the Triple J radio’s Hottest 100. She also spent eight years living in the United States, posed near-nude for a music magazine and starred on Seven Networks Home and Away. Now touring her solo album, Eat My Shadow, Hart will feature at Apollo Bay Music Festival with her band and special guest Georgia Fields. Hart, now based in Melbourne, said she was looking forward to performing hits from her alternative rock past as well as songs featuring in her blossoming solo career. “I really just can’t wait to perform a real mix at Apollo Bay,” she told the Independent. “Music festivals allow for that. I’m quite interactive as it is but I find festivals are even more so – it’s you and the audiences together, so whatever the weather is doing and however the people are dancing will determine my songs. “There’s something about the camaraderie at a music festival that you don’t get by yourself.” With a reputation for winsome lyrics and a delicate vocal style, Hart rose to

fame with Melbourne-based Frente!. The band, which formed in 1991, eventually sold more than one million records worldwide After Frente! she formed duo Splendid and later teamed up with Dean Manning as Holidays on Ice. She recently embarked as a solo act, releasing album Grounded Bird in late 2007. Eat My Shadow followed in October 2009 after Hart recorded with awardwinning producer Shane Nicholson, the partner of Australian country music star Kasey Chambers. Organisers said the Apollo Bay timetable was jam-packed with projects including a battle for the title of Acoustic Duo Heavyweight Champions of Australasia and a forum on social justice. International acts would feature Grammy Award winners Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band, fellow Americans Charles Neville and Rosie Flores, Canada’s The Good Lovelies and the UK’s Martha Tilston. The Australian line-up will showcase Aria Award winner Washington as well as Zeptepi, The Wildes, Sarah Carroll and Chris Wilson and Dog Trumpet. Hart will perform on both the ABC Radio and Mechanics Institute stages at the festival.

BY ERIN PEARSON THE FEMALE underbelly of Australia’s violent crime features in a new exhibition at Geelong’s National Wool Museum. Exhibition curator Nerida Campbell said Femme Fatale: the Female Criminal recounted the stories of Australia’s most dangerous women. Campbell noted that female crime was particularly intriguing. “There’s something about the way the other side lives that fascinates us. Most of us are law abiding citizens but we do wonder,” Campbell told the Independent. “Certainly here in Australia, Underbelly has really fired up an interest in criminals.” Campbell said the exhibition featured many of Australia’s most shocking female killers including

Kate Leigh, Iris Webber, Eugenia Falleni and other criminals locked away in Long Bay jail between 1915 and 1930. “Some of the stories of the Razor Gang, for example, are just remarkable. The lives of the actual criminals were punctuated by violence and drug addiction. “Tilly Devine was a brothel madam in Sydney. She had a husband who was an ex-soldier and she’d go out and punish people. “She was quite handy with a razor, guns and her fists.” Campbell said the exhibition also compared the portrayal of seductive and dangerous women on the silver screen to the reality of prison life. “The seductress we see in films is attractive, independent and intelligent and uses her sexuality against men who are unable to

resist her but the reality for most female criminals turns out to be a hard, dysfunctional and violent life brutalised and degraded further by stints in prison,” she said. “Surrounded by male gangsters, the women of Sydney’s Razor Gang era were as tough as any of the men they mixed with.” Campbell said the exhibition included forensic evidence, glass plate negatives of female criminals, record sheets, images and medals belonging to Australia’s first policewoman. Campbell discovered and researched the exhibition’s mug shots component at Sydney’s Justice and Police Museum, which stored more than 130,000 police forensic negatives created from 1912 to 1964. The wool museum will host the exhibition until June 13.

Roll on for fun at skate centre

Turn kids into holiday Rock stars

ewtown Rollerway offers lots of fun and exercise for children during school holidays regardless of the weather. With roller and in-line skating still as popular as ever, kids will be keen to pull on their skates during holidays. Skating is available seven days a week, with session times available at rollerway.com.au. Newtown Rollerway offers a variety of activities to keep kids of all ages entertained. Rink operator Raul Aparicio says extra skate sessions will ensure everyone gets the chance to skate during holidays. “In addition to the normal weekend sessions, we have extra sessions from Monday to Friday in the holidays,” he says. “It’s a really fun and safe activity for kids of all ages.” Newtown Rollerway also has a separate indoor skate park for skateboarding, scooters and BMX riders. The centre is also available for children’s functions. “We have lots of birthday parties at the centre and the introduction of the separate skate park has helped modernise the activities,” Mr Aparicio says. In-line roller hockey is another feature at Rollerway Newtown, with Geelong boasting Australia’s biggest independent roller hockey league. “Most of the social leagues run throughout the holidays, which offers a great chance to give roller hockey a go. Rollerway Newtown is at 6-8 Lambert Avenue, Newtown. For more information or to browse the on-line skate shop, visit www.rollerway.com.au

Rollerway provides a range of activities to keep kids of all ages entertained.

arents can find peace of mind at Geelong’s The Rock Adventure Centre during school holidays. The Rock offers indoor climbing in a safe and controlled environment where kids can keep themselves entertained while enjoying terrific exercise at the same time. Parents can also try their hands on The Rock’s climbing walls to discover a fun way to improve their fitness. Indoor climbing uses all muscles simultaneously while providing an excellent low-impact fitness regimen. Climbers also enjoy boosts to their self-esteem as they overcome challenges and reach their climbing achievements. Parents who don’t want to climb can still be involved by holding their children’s safety ropes while they climb to share in their achievements. The Rock is also ideal for grandparents searching for ways to entertain grandchildren during holidays. Instructors are always available to help show beginners the ropes. The Rock’s climbing walls are designed to accommodate all levels, from beginners through to expert climbers. The Rock also has a huge bouldering area with short climbing walls that are only a few feet above a padded floor, so no safety rope or partner is required. The Rock will be open from 10am seven days a week during school holidays. Parents can relax with a coffee while the kids experience the thrill of climbing during the supervised holiday sessions. Ideal for primary school-aged children, the sessions run from 2pm to 4pm Monday to Friday during holidays. Bookings are recommended. For more information visit www.rockadventures.com.au, phone 52213101 or visit The Rock Adventure Centre at the extreme river end of Pakington Street, Newtown.

Parents can send their children up the wall for a change during school holidays at The Rock Adventure Centre.

Samantha Heaton-Harris 27 years old and 118kg. What was I doing!! I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x203A;t exercise, was always tired and boy, did I overeat.

I started T.F. and with motivation from Julie and staff at T.F. Geelong store and my family and friends, I was on my way to the new me. T.F. was so easy and convenient for me as a chef, and a busy mum of two children, 2 and under. The more results I saw the more motivation I had.

Funky little Fiat BY ERIC BLAIR aunched in Australia in mid-2010 the Fiat 500C isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a convertible in the usual way, but rather uses a huge soft sunroof to open the roof. The roof opens in several stages according to the mood of the occupants and can be operated while the car is moving. The open-air feel is further enhanced by the folding glass rear window. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surprising amount of interior space for a car of its size. Headroom is adequate for the average height person. The cloth seats are slightly firm and are narrow backed, but the side cushions provide good lateral support and we never felt uncomfortable even after relatively long spells at the wheel. A cramped driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footwell puts the pedals close together and slightly off to one side, but you will soon adapt to this. We liked the nice feel provided by the leatherbound steering wheel which includes audio controls. The concentric speedo/tacho dials save space and are well positioned in front of driver but the schizo scales mean they are not easy to read in a hurry. On the upside, this instrument layout, again, pays tribute to the simplicity of the looks of the original Fiat 500. It comes as no surprise that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited legroom in rear seat of this little convertible, but a couple of kids will love sitting back there watching the world go by through the open roof. Boot space is comparable to the Fiat 500 hardtop and it is easily accessible through a cleverly hinged lid. If the top is down, pressing the boot opening button signals to the roof to partially close so it does not impinge on the use of the boot. Trendy looks of the Fiat 500C are a big selling point, with the interior in particular crying out for personalisation. Look at the apparently metal finish of the dashboard to get some ideal of the retro lengths the designers have taken. Then imagine the customisation possibilities that will delight the fashionistas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about looks, the ease of driving and parking makes it a delight to use in crowded cafe

Retro: The finish and styling of the interior reflects a 1950-60s era. areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the diminutive Fiat is only 3550 mm long, 1650 mm wide and 1490 mm high so slots into just about any parking place, though we did find opening the large doors could cause hassles at times. For Australia, the new Fiat 500C gets a 1.4-litre 74 kW engine with a choice of a manual or an automated DuaLogic gearbox. The engine in the model we tested used a Start&Stop system. When the car stops, putting the gear lever in neutral and releasing the clutch switches off the engine; to restart, simply put the car back into gear. This save fuel and reduces exhaust emissions, which is something that is particularly useful in a car that spends a lot of its time in built-up areas. Using the six-speed manual transmission gets the best out of the 1.4 litre petrol engine, but only if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the right gear. The little car soon runs out of legs on the slightest incline so you have to drive it correctly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that half the fun in owning a machine like this? Fuel consumption is impressively low. Expect to use about seven to eight litres per hundred kilometres. The Fiat 500C corners beautifully and is a ton of fun to drive. Rough road surfaces can upset the ride a little, but we have felt worse on other small cars. Road noise generated on harsh surfaces means you need to crank up the audio system.

model, the i MiEV has its engine in the back under the boot, driving the rear wheels. The batteries are under the central to front floor. The car is speed limited to 130 km/h, but has a top speed of around 160km/h. It car produces 47kW or power, and a substantial 180Nm of torque which is on tap from 0km/h. There’s a traditional-looking gear lever that gives three driving modes: Drive, Eco and Brake. Drive is a full power mode. E stands for Economy and Brake offers higher than the usual amount of regenerative braking when the car isn’t in this mode. At this stage only a small number of i MiEVs have been imported to Australia and these have only been leased to selected customers. When it does become available to the general public it will not be cheap. The car already available in Japan and the US work out to somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000. Though it looks small, the Mitsubishi i MiEV is surprisingly spacious inside. Mitsubishi Australia says that eventually there are likely to be electric-car chargers at parking stations, shopping centres, convenience stores, cafes, perhaps even on parking meters – the possibilities for locations are endless. An optional fast-charge system takes the batteries to about 80 per cent of their full capacity in around 30 minutes. It’s not yet available in Australia, but can’t be too far away. On the downside, a lot of Australian electricity is generated by coal-fired power stations that create carbon dioxide. However, Mitsubishi assures us that the C02 created to charge its electric cars is significantly lower than that produced by petrol-engined cars of a similar size.

BY ERIC BLAIR elcome to the motoring future…maybe. The Mitsubishi i MiEV is the first fully-electric production passenger car of the modern era to be sold in Australia and it’s a fascinating vehicle. The first thing you notice when driving any electric car is the instant acceleration. That’s because electric motors produce their maximum pulling power right from the start. Big torque is what high-performance drivers love about electric cars. The second thing is that Mitsubishi i MiEV is almost normal to drive, apart from the near silence when the car is stopped or travelling at low speeds. The electric motor is completely off when the car is stopped. Once on the move at a reasonable speed i MiEV creates the usual sounds from road and wind noise as any other car, with only a light humming sound from the electric motor. The i MiEV is a four-seat city commuter capable of up to 160 kilometres from a full battery charge from a typical electric plug in your garage at home. If you drive only 30 kilometres then the batteries do not require a recharge. If you decide to charge anyway, then it will take about 90 minutes to get back to a full tank of electricity. To fully recharge after around 160 km of driving will take around 7 hours. In Japan there is currently under development a quick-charge of around 30 minutes to restore around 80 per cent of electricity to the batteries. The i MiEV is the first of many EV’s expected here in the coming two to three years. Mitsubishi Australia is hoping to have the car in showrooms by late this year. Based on a Japanese petrol-powered

Geelong Ring Road Section 4C Advisory Committee The Hon Matthew Guy MLC, Minister for Planning, has appointed an Advisory Committee under section 151 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to advise on the planning, consultation and approval arrangements for Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will also consider the relative merits and impacts (economic, environmental and social) of the approved alignment of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road compared with any other alignments previously considered by Vic Roads, the City of Greater Geelong, or any other relevant government strategic planning investigation. The Advisory Committee’s tasks and process for conducting a hearing to consider these matters are set out in the Terms of Reference dated 22 February 2011. The Terms of Reference can be viewed on the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) website www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels by selecting ‘Current Planning Panels and Advisory Committees’. This review is to have regard to the function of the road to provide an east-west arterial road connection, and Barwon River crossing to service the southern suburbs of Geelong and Armstrong Creek, as well as the Bellarine Peninsula. The Advisory Committee is also to consider any additional remedial measures that could be incorporated into the design and development of the Section 4C alignment to address environmental and amenity impacts on existing and future residents. The previous Minister for Planning approved Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme which applied a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO3) to enable VicRoads to acquire the land to construct Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will review this part of the Amendment. The previous Minister for Planning also approved as part of Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme the application of a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO9) to enable the Department of Transport to acquire the land to construct the Armstrong Creek West Station and car park (south side). The Advisory Committee will not review the application of the PAO9. Background material for Amendment C232 is available on the DPCD website for information. Copies of this information will also be available for viewing at the following locations: City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre 131 Myers Street GEELONG Department of Planning and Community Development State Government Offices Level 4, Corner Fenwick and Little Malop Streets GEELONG VicRoads South West Regional Office 180 Fyans Street SOUTH GEELONG Or online at: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels/ The Advisory Committee invites submissions from any party with an interest in the planning of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road with regard to the matters set out in the Terms of Reference.

sport Coaches to hit road in local footy

Trevally need not apply: Adam Van Der Lugt with one of his snapper taken on soft plastics from the cut at Queenscliff.

Options abound in salt and fresh water On the bite BRIAN LONG Corio Bay had a couple of big shoals of salmon working along the foreshore, including fish close to 1.5kg. Craig Shorten fished Stingaree Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spoil grounds for a bag limit catch of snapper, his best at 3.1kg. Craig also nailed salmon, pike and flathead, with all the best action from daylight until midmorning. Terry Steel fished the rocks at North Shore for snapper to just over 1kg along with salmon to 1.6kg. Terry caught all his fish on soft plastics and small, metal, baitfish-profile lures fished late afternoon and up until dark. Whiting were still being taken in good numbers in close to Point Lillias. Pippies and fresh squid were the baits, with the runup to high tide producing the hot action. Fishing soft plastics on Corio Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer-harbour spoil grounds returned plenty of small snapper but, with persistence quality fish were also taken. Joel McCallum caught three fish over 1kg along with salmon and flathead to 1.5kg. Paul and Terry Miller landed four snapper from 3kg to 6.2kg along with two ripper gummy shark both over 8kg apiece while fishing Wilson Spit. Fishing from

just on dark up until 10pm they found the fish consistently biting on fresh squid caught earlier in the day. Anglers landed snapper between 3kg and 7kg from the deep water out from Portarlington where fresh squid was clearly the best bait. Either early morning or just after dark seems to be bringing the results. Swan Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance produced a variety of species. Squid were taken but whiting made up the numbers, with fish over 40cm taken on fresh squid and pippies. Anglers laying berley trails also caught flathead and gummy shark along with some quality garfish. Surf anglers should break out the rods, with fantastic numbers of salmon hitting the beaches. Jan Juc rewarded bait anglers with fish to 2kg, while counterparts casting lures from Easternview and closer to Lorne nailed plenty of fish up to 1kg. Queenscliffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut has been patchy in the past couple of weeks but Adam Van Der Lugt managed three nice snapper on soft plastics in a worm pattern. Adam also lost a fish of around 3.5kg when he had trouble lifting it up onto the pier. Kingfish were still being taken from The Rip area over the week, with most of the action close to the Rip face were caution must be exercised due to the danger of the water. Anglers should also remember to move promptly from the area well in advance of any shipping traffic as the large vessels have trouble spotting smaller craft. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

BFL Bellarine Football League also plays its first round of games tomorrow. In what seems like an unusual move, the two sides that have played off in the past two grand finals have

Local Footy FRANK MASON named new coaches. The move was forced on the clubs by the retirements of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches. James Colbert takes over at Drysdale, while Amateurs stalwart Tim Clark will try his hand at coaching. Newcomb also has new coach David McCormick who has a job ahead of him given the Power hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a game since 2007. The remaining clubs have stuck with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches, namely Cam McGregor at Ocean Grove, Matthew Sproule at Modewarre, Ged Brody at Portarlington, Heath Jamieson at Queenscliff, Mark Byrne and Travis Knights at Barwon Heads, Luke Primus at Anglesea and Luke Rayner at Torquay. Selections: Anglesea v AMATEURS, Portarlington v OCEAN GROVE, QUEENSCLIFF v Newcomb, TORQUAY v Drysdale and Barwon Heads v MODEWARRE.

GDFL Geelong and District Football league plays round two tomorrow, with the pick of the games played at West Oval where Geelong West Sporting Club hosts Belmont Lions. Justin Rankin, Suresh Nair and Jamie Duggan played well for the Lions last week and new coach Paul Nigro would be impressed. Blue Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Carlon would have been happy with Evan Norbury, Scott Jervies and Josh Duim, who stood tall for the Cheetahs against a very good side. Despite playing at the Cheetahs home ground, the Lions will take the points. Other selections: Inverleigh v EAST GEELONG, Corio v BELL POST HILL, WERRIBEE CENTRALS v Anakie, NORTH GEELONG v Winchelsea and Thomson v BANNOCKBURN.

ANGLERS had ample options for catching fish in salt and fresh water over the past week. West Barwon Reservoir produced rainbow trout. Most were under 1kg but Paul Stirling nailed a beauty of 1.9kg along with a good number of small redfin. Standout lures at West Barwon have been Tassie Devils in the gold colours along with SX 40s in the clear colours. Andersons, also known as Hepburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lagoon, was on fire with double-figure captures of rainbows to both lure and fly anglers alike. Most fish were just under 1kg and happily taking well-presented offerings, with the best time through the middle of the day when the temperature was at its peak. Lake Fyans returned quality redfin to anglers trolling small, bibbed lures. With fish pushing 1.5kg, this lake is well-worth a trip. Trout have also been taken, with most averaging 1kg. Closer to home, anglers caught carp of 1.5kg to 3kg from McLeods Watering Hole at Drysdale. Corn and bread were the baits, with berley essential for the best results. Lure casters found plenty of small redfin in the moving water along the Barwon River at Pollocksford. Atomic Shads in the clear red colour, also known as the Coke can, have been hard to go past. Gerry Sharp found his soft plastics irresistible to silver trevally and salmon in the Barwon River estuary. Working the incoming tide, Gerry caught and released over 30 fish using Turtleback worms in the Green Pumpkin shade.

GEELONG Football League starts its 2011 season this weekend with a full round of games. There is plenty of anticipation surrounding all clubs, especially those with new coaches. St Josephs has appointed exMelbourne forward Russell Robertson as coach. Robertson will also play and is sure to entice a good crowd with his highflying marking and goal-kicking. Reigning premier South Barwon has also had a changing of the guard, with Mark Enright and James Garvey taking over as co-coaches. Leopold has named Steve Clark as the man to take over from Aaron Greaves after he left the club to coach Geelong Falcons. St Albans has put its faith in Matt Cavendon to bring some on-field success to the Super Saints. Cavendon has plenty of new recruits to help his cause. Matt Gibson takes on the job at Colac and also has a bevy of players returning to the club. Grovedale also has a new coach in ex-Geelong player Grant Tanner who has had success coaching at a junior level and should bring out the best in the young Tigers. Key forward Jacob Spolding will look to build on a promising 2010 season as new coach of Newtown. Darren Forssman joins 2010 coach Doug Scott as co-coach of Geelong West-St Peters. Bell Park has stuck with John Fitzgerald, Ben Harris gets another turn at Lara, Peter Riccardi has been busy signing up new players for North Shore and Daniel Fletcher will again have St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primed for finals. Selections: BELL PARK v Geelong West-St.Peters, Colac v SOUTH BARWON, Grovedale v ST MARYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S, LARA v St Josephs, NEWTOWN v North Shore and St Albans v LEOPOLD

Cats man up for Port clash BY ERIN PEARSON A FULL-strength Geelong side will take on at home an injury plagued Port Adelaide after narrowly clinching a tough victory against Fremantle interstate last weekend. Cat’s coach Chris Scott said Joel Selwood, Paul Chapman and captain Cameron Ling would be available alongside champion full back Matthew Scarlett who sidelined last week for a round-one elbow on St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt. “We’re assuming Selwood will be back and there are also about three or four guys who could come back also,” Scott said. “We’ll have some difficult decisions to make but that’s a good position to be in.” Ling, Joel Corey and Corey Enright were all lucky to be

cleared by the AFL’s match review panel of rough conduct after an aggressive match against Fremantle last weekend. Scott said the side would now look to overcome its age demons. “People are saying our list doesn’t look as good as previous years…we understand why people have question marks over Geelong,” he said. “The challenge we have in front of us hasn’t lessened, our challenge is to rise above it.” Scott vowed the Cats would continue to filter in young blood when possible. “All our young players have been impressive,” he said. “We won’t play them though if we don’t believe they’ll have an impact. All our young players are acutely aware off the opportunities for them.” Injured Port Adelaide skipper

Dominic Cassisi will miss the clash after fracturing his tibia during the Power’s loss to West Coast on Saturday. Port utility Nick Salter will also miss the game with a broken foot but Cassisi said goal-kicker Daniel Motlop was ready to return. Port Adelaide would need a lot of contributors to topple the Cats, Cassisi said. “We’ve got a really young leadership group and it’s a great opportunity for them to be able to step up and really put their footprint on the place. “We’ve had two losses and we haven’t got off to the start we wanted but guys that play well in the next few weeks will be the guys that have a bit of substance about them and will take the club forward.”
