Torquay set for first Good Friday game

Club’s VFL coup

BY ERIN PEARSON VICTORIA Football League plans to play its first Good Friday match in Torquay, officials have revealed.

Under the VFL initiative, Western Bulldogs affiliate Williamstown would host Geelong in Torquay on April 22 while Williamstown’s homeground undergoes extensive renovation works.

The VFL bid follows a Federal Labor pre-election commitment this week of $600,000 for a proposed Torquay Football

Club facilities upgrade. The Liberals made an earlier promise of $350,000 for the project.

Torquay Football Club president Ross Henderson hoped the Williamstown match would be the first of many VFL games at Torquay.

Mr Henderson said the VFL plan justified “a lot of hard work” that the club had put into the renovation plans.

“From junior players right through to senior players, any opportunity to watch a highlevel sporting game is a great

benefit to everybody,” he said.

“Our players are always looking to learn and we’ll be able to watch players, coaches and umpires at the top level.”

Mr Henderson said the renovations were unlikely to be complete by Good Friday but the Williamstown game would still be a “testing point” for the club.

“If it’s a success for the VFL hopefully it will be an annual event or even allow for other opportunities and more games.”

VFL football operations manager John Hook confirmed the

they didn’t have an issue with the idea and we’re now waiting for the AFL board to sign off.”

The Independent revealed last month that the club’s proposed $800,000 upgrade included a large balcony, refurbishing player’s quarters, installing disabled toilets, moving umpire rooms, separate facilities for female umpires and addition of a function room upstairs.

Mr Henderson said Surf Coast Shire’s council had budgeted $250,000 for the project in 2011/2012.

Good Friday concept.

The league was waiting for the AFL to sign off on the match, Hook said.

“Williamstown was looking at alternatives and the Good Friday game was one they canvassed with us, along with Geelong, to play that in a regional country area,” he said.

“Playing football on Good Friday is something that’s fairly debatable but some country leagues have already played on the day.

“I wrote to the AFL to ensure

TALLBOY INSERTS

BY ERIN PEARSON RACV has called on Surf Coast councillors to review “unrealistic conditions” on plans to tap into drains for watering Torquay’s golf course.

RACV executive general manager Sue Blake said the motoring giant wanted to start work on the redevelopment as soon as possible but must first “resolve” conditions “not necessarily related to the water harvest proposal”.

“RACV has commenced discussions with council officers about these conditions and is hopeful of resolving these matters quickly and amicably so the water harvesting licence can be finalised,” she said.

Councillors voted last month to provide in-principle support for the RACV to harvest stormwater if it could satisfy 50 conditions.

The conditions included further rounds of consultations with various community groups and discussing “facility-sharing arrangements” with other Torquay sport clubs.

Ms Blake said a number of the conditions would be “finalised in forthcoming negotiations with council”.

“RACV is pleased that the Surf Coast council has recognised the environmental benefits of the water harvesting proposal and supports the use of this recycled water to sustain the course.”

Councillors rejected the RACV’s first stormwater bid in April, citing environmental concerns over Jan Juc Creek, despite numerous reports backing the project.

RACV’s proposed $90 million redevelopment of Torquay Golf Club includes an upgraded golf course, new dams and irrigation systems and planting of 130,000 indigenous trees, shrubs and ground covers. A new resort building will include accommodation, dining and leisure facilities along with change rooms, a lounge, a spike bar and a pro shop.

Liberals ‘good news’ for Cats

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG Football Club president Frank Costa has stopped short of publicly endorsing Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson after describing her party’s $36 million pledge for Skilled Stadium as “sensational news”.

The Liberals announced this week that a federal coalition government would fund the next stage of the Cats’ home-ground redevelopment.

Labor has so far refused to commit funding for the new grandstand at the northern end of the stadium until after Australia knows the outcome of its World Cup bid, which would included plans for games at the stadium.

Mr Costa helped fund Ms Henderson’s campaign for Corangamite and provided a reference for her preselection.

But Mr Costa said he contributed to both major parties’ campaigns to “support the right candidate” in the region’s two electorates.

“I think Richard Marles (for Corio) has been absolutely fantastic for us,” he said.

“And Sarah Henderson has been equally great.

“I think it will be good value for Geelong to have a strong Labor representative in the north and a strong Liberal representative in the south.”

But Mr Costa said his club should not be seen to be favouring either party for contributions to

Kicking goals: Sarah Henderson and Cats president Frank Costa at the funding announcement.

Picture: John Conway the stadium upgrade.

The first $25 million for the upgrade project came from the Victorian Labor Government to build a Reg Hickey stand.

“Until then, we almost lost football in Geelong,” Mr Costa said.

“The AFL was going to take it away because, if you go back 12 years ago, our stadium was in terrible condition and not suitable for elite football at all. “We required both governments to support us and they did.”

Ms Henderson said she devised the funding policy for Skilled Stadium, which would tie in with a recent Victorian Government

51584

financial commitment toward stage three.

“This is the result of 12 months of being pre-selected and talking to a wide range of community and business leaders,” she said.

Ms Henderson denied the funding commitment was payback for an old family friend and a financial backer of her campaign.

“I would not want any suggestion that was made – there is no basis for that whatsoever.”

Liberal candidate for Corio Don Gibson, whose seat includes Skilled Stadium, was absent from the funding announcement.

PM praises MP during flying visit for highway

Caravan thefts CARAVAN thieves have targeted the Surf Coast, according to police.

Officers said the thieves had stolen a $40,000 caravan from outside a Jan Juc house during broad daylight before taking another van worth $22,000 from a Torquay residence several days later.

Students help DISADVANTAGED Corio high school students will help the environment while learning skills in a new volunteers program, according to organisers.

Community partnerships coordinator BacLinks said the students would work in teams with a Barwon Water staffer to carry out projects “essential� to the survival of native wildlife and plants in areas around Geelong.

Brain expo

Government $257.5 million, he said.

Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson rejected Labor claims the Liberals had under-costed the project in their funding commitment. “The coalition is committed to seeing the Princes Highway duplicated from Geelong to Colac and this means

providing half of the funds needed,�

Ms Henderson said. “In June the Coalition pledged to upgrade this stretch of the Princes Highway out of recognition that this road is a major thoroughfare in southwest Victoria and vital to the region’s communities and economy.�

Regional councils alliance group

G21 welcomed both commitments.

Chief executive officer Elaine Carbines said 31 people died and 223 people were seriously injured on the stretch of highway from 2005 to 2009. “Regardless of which party is successful in the federal election, this important regional project is guaranteed.�

Avalon international bid in election boost

BY ERIN PEARSON INTERNATIONAL flights at Avalon Airport are just “a few years� away after a Labor preelection promise this week to help deliver a new terminal, according to MP Richard Marles.

The federal Member for Corio said Wednesday’s announcement meant a returned Gillard Government would walk “hand-in-hand� with Avalon to attract international airlines. “It effectively gives Avalon the confidence to go out and attract an international airline in full knowledge they have the Federal Government sup-

porting them,� Mr Marles said. “When introducing an international airport you’ve effectively opened the door to the country, so you’ve got to make sure you get it right. There are a myriad of federal agencies that operate out of an international airport, from quarantine to Air Services Australia, which all have different roles to play to make this safe. “We’re saying we will walk hand-in-hand with Avalon to overcome any obstacles to get this up and running.�

Mr Marles said an international airport at Avalon would provide “thousands� of jobs for Geelong.

Promise: Richard Marles. “There are 1000 employees for every million passengers at an airport,� he said. “With Tiger announcing they will be flying out of Avalon as well we’ve really got the prospect of having the

airport grow many times the size of what it is now. “What it means for Geelong is that Avalon is the best employment growth prospect in the region. It’s as significant a moment in economic history as when Alcoa located to Geelong in the ’60s.�

Federal Financial Services Minister Chris Bowen said the Government recently negotiated international air service agreements that could help airports like Avalon attract business from countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia�.

Federal Liberal candidate for Corio Don Gibson committed a coalition government

to “equally� matching the Labor promise on Avalon. “The federal Liberal party supports any development interests for Avalon Airport toward proving it as an international terminal and will agree to supply the services required,� he said. “In addition, at a state level the Liberal party already has a formal policy in place, announced by Mr Baillieu two years ago, to support the development of an international airport. “Our criticism now is Labor, at a state level, has to match this by providing the outside infrastructure.�

BY ERIN PEARSON DUPLICATION of the Princes Highway from Winchelsea to Colac has been guaranteed Prime Minister Julia Gillard visited Geelong this week to announce a returned Labor Government would fund the project.

An earlier Liberal commitment to the project means motorists will eventually drive on dual-lane highway from Waurn Ponds to Colac no matter which party wins next week’s federal election.

Ms Gillard phoned the Independent after touring Belmont’s GP Superclinic on Tuesday to spruik the highway commitment. “It will be a Gillard Government and a State Government partnership that will see a $515 million investment to build on the investment already made,� she said. “After almost 12 years under the Liberals the area was neglected and there was no start on the highway duplication.�

Ms Gillard attributed the funding promise to Labor MP Darren Cheeseman’s “strong advocacy� for his marginal seat of Corangamite.

She called him a “fierce campaigner� for Corangamite. “I believe the people of Corangamite will look at the results and look at what Darren has achieved.�

Mr Cheeseman said a returned Gillard Government would cover half of the stage two cost after committing $110 million to helping the Victorian Government duplicate the highway from Waurn Ponds to Winchelsea.

Stage two from Winchelsea to Colac would cost the Gillard

A 4.9 per cent rise in the Barwon South West region’s waiting list for public housing has sparked a war of words between State Government and the opposition.

Housing Minister Richard Wynne blamed a “tough private housing market� and affordability issues for the growing list but Liberal counterpart Wendy Lovell pointed the finger at “failed Labor policies over the past 11 years�.

$10 fees under new golf plans

BY ANDREW MATHIESON DEVELOPERS are promising a nine-hole public golf course with $10 green fees at North Geelong to avoid handing the land back to council.

Links Living said its proposed $50 million redevelopment of the former Geelong Golf Club would deliver a PGA endorsed par-three course, a driving range, a golfing academy and Geelong’s first indoor bowls club.

Links Living managing director Stephen Head said the proposed golf centre would provide an affordable golfing experience on the par-three course.

“The Geelong region is already well catered for with many fine tournament-standard golf courses and we’re focussed on creating a quality nine-hole course with

excellent teaching facilities for school groups, corporate groups, ladies’ groups, learner golfers of all ages, children and older golfers,” he said.

Mr Head said buyers of residential lots bordering the course would pay $160,000 in annual subsidies for the course.

Links’ revised golf course plans include less than 200 residential allotments, a retirement village, a general store, a full-service clubhouse with indoor and outdoor bowls facilities, public parks, bike paths and walking trails.

Mr Head said Links Living was ready to commence the project immediately on council approval.

Councillors have threatened to force Links Living into handing back 22 hectares of the golf course land if the company reneges on an agreement to devel-

op a full-size nine-hole course.

The company has placed a twopage advertisement in this week’s Independent in response to criticism of its proposal.

But Greening Geelong West president Guenter Sahr rejected the latest plans.

“No one is saying please put in a nine-hole golf course. The golfers have had their day, so that’s history,” he said.

“We’re all in agreement that since the developer couldn’t make the nine-hole course viable it was to revert back to the city council for public use.

“That’s what we want and it is quite clear the developer cannot make it a viable proposition because it’s clawing back more of the 22 hectares that we want for a public park.”

Seriously small His hearing aid that is.

BY ERIN PEARSON KINDER classes for three-yearolds are under pressure across the region, according to operators.

Torquay and one Geelong kinder have abandoned the classes in 2011, while Barwon Heads could follow their lead as kindergartens struggle to accommodate four-year-old enrolments next year.

Barwon Heads kindergarten coordinator Anissa Yttrup said the kinder had 36 children in four-to-five-year old classes in 2008 and 75 in 2009.

“This is putting a huge strain on our staff, so we’ve had a look at extending as one of our options,” she said.

“We’ve presented several options to council late last year but nobody will actually accept it’s their responsibility.”

Geelong Kindergarten Association said it would also have to “make way” for increasing enrolments of four-year-olds.

Executive officer Janet Park said one Geelong kinder had already closed its door on threeyear-olds for 2011.

“Over four and three-year-old kinders in Geelong we’re offering about 2000 places but if other kinders stop their three-year-old classes we’ll have to cater for those numbers, too.”

Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson

said the Federal Government’s plans to increase four-year-old kindergarten hours from 10 to 15 a week was “putting the squeeze on resources”.

“Managers of kindergartens are faced with looking at three-yearold kinder classes being bumped, removing a valuable early learning opportunity, to make way for the additional hours of four-yearold kinder pupils.”

But Children and Early Childhood Development Minister Maxine Morand said the Victorian Government had been allocated $211 million in federal funding over the next five years to handle the kinder reforms.

Teenagers and police to ‘build bridges’ on cold camp “It provides a great opportunity to build a different relationship with police and to build some bridges. “There are a lot of negative things in the papers about young people for various reasons, so it’s good to get some positive things happening between youth and police.�

Mr Moyle hoped the trip would “improve the teenagers’ confidence to trust in their own abilities�. “I think they’ll do well,� he said.

Brad Morris, 16, was concerned about the camp’s “coldness� but believed it would be a good opportunity to spend time with friends and police with whom he had developed friendships.

BY ERIN PEARSON A DOZEN teenagers from Geelong will spend the weekend camping in mountains with police as part of a new program to build relationships between the two groups.

The Barwon Youth program will send the youths and officers to an adventure activity camp at Alpine Ash Mountain Retreat, near Kinglake.

Youth Justice Community Support Service co-ordinator Daniel Moyle said the camp would be a “high-challenge� experience. “The whole purpose is to get kids who are at-risk to spend time with police and work together in some activities that increase their confidence and teamwork skills,� he said.

MP: I’d back new PIONEER Grovey link route “I think they’d need to take some strong legal advice because they’d be up for a considerable amount of money.�

Geelong council made a decision two years ago to “put the road there,� Mr Crutchfield said. “Changing the location would affect Barwon Water and the new residential (growth area), and would delay securing land for the railway station. “Everything would be on hold for 18 months.�

Mr Crutchfield supported the proposed bypass link alignment but would “prosecute council’s case strongly� if it decided to move the road.

Mr Crutchfield said moving the link to Grovedale residents’ preferred alignment

along Boundary Road would have “negative implications� for development of Armstrong Creek. “They (council) received an Australian award for planning for Armstrong Creek, so it would be very odd to go back and revisit the plans.�

Mr Crutchfield accused council of “leading residents down the garden path�. “No one has suggested the link would be shifted, not State Government, Federal Government, G21 or Geelong’s council,� he said. “As of right now they all support the current alignment.�

The Independent was unable to gain comment from council before the paper went to press.

BY KIM WATERS SOUTH Barwon MP Michael Crutchfield has vowed to back any bid to change the route of Geelong’s bypass link to Surf Coast Highway despite warning of disastrous consequences.

Changing the route would cost a fortune and delay further development of Armstrong Creek for a year and a half, he said.

Mr Crutchfield told angry Grovedale residents only Geelong’s council had the power to move the route of the 4.5-kilometre link away from their homes. “My understanding is many things are possible and it depends at what cost but council could abandon (the route),� Mr Crutchfield said.

Back to basics: Back to Back Theatre actors.

Picture: Jeff Busby

BY ERIN PEARSON A TROUPE of actors with intellectual disabilities has arrived back in Geelong after a three-week overseas tour.

Back to Back Theatre opened the London International Festival of Theatre before travelling across the United Kingdom.

Executive producer Alice Nash said the troupe showcased its acting skills on the “world-class” London stage before an appearance at Wales’ Millennium Festival.

“It was a wondrous tour,” she said.

“The performers know they can command the stage, which might be surprising to some people but they do this enormously well.”

The theatre company received $26,000 from State Government to fund four overseas trips this year.

“We were paid to perform, so the bulk of the cost was covered by the presenting organisation, but airfares, freight, wages, and production costs alone totalled $100,000,” Ms Nash said.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON REFUGEES from another African war zone are settling in Geelong, according to the city’s peak multicultural services provider.

Diversitat said accepting a quota of 60 migrants from Congo would strengthen the city’s “track record” as Victoria’s refugee hub.

The Congolese will follow hundreds of African refugees who have already fled war in Sundan to settle in Geelong.

Diversitat chief executive Michael Martinez said the latest batch of refugees was “coming

straight from Congo” on humanitarian grounds as part of Diversitat’s six-month government contract to settle them in Geelong.

Twenty-six Congolese were living in the city after the first family landed last month.

Mr Martinez said more would arrive in the next fortnight.

“You don’t want to bring just 10 families; you need more to establish a community so they know people,” he said.

A social worker from the Congolese community would travel to Geelong from Melbourne to help the refugees adjust to their new lives.

ƣ V

L g о

S A

Mr Martinez said he expected the Congolese to make a smooth social transition into Geelong because the city was wellequipped to handle refugees.

The refugees received health checks on arrival along with transitional housing, English lessons, integration into schools and help finding work.

“There are some towns in Victoria that have had difficulties because you also have to have an accepting community, so I’m quite annoyed at the whole blaming of these migrants for what is really a failure of governments to invest in infrastructure.”

Mr Martinez he said Democratic Republic of Congo expatriates were still suffering from “trauma and torture”.

More than five million people have died in Congo since fighting began in 1998, making it the world’s deadliest conflict since World War Two. The former French colony once known as Zaire has also developed a reputation for widespread rape and sexual violence despite signing of peace accords in 2003.

“That’s the reality these communities have had to deal with, some horrific experiences, and that can’t be underestimated,” Mr Martinez said.

Concern over local branches

BY ANDREW MATHIESON BENDIGO Bank has reassured mum and dad investors their money is safe despite a retired auditor raising concerns about the bank’s community branches, including one on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Retired auditor John Williams found that 55 of Bendigo’s 77 community banks around Australia lost money in 2008/2009.

Nearly a third had spent all of their equity capital since opening and 58 had “negative cash flow” at the end of the year, Mr Williams said.

Investors had sunk more than $100 million into Bendigo’s 259

community banks over more than a decade.

Mr Williams put 17 branches on his “sick list”.

“They rely on the community but the community takes all the risk and for Bendigo it’s a winwin situation,” he said.

Mr Williams said the Bellarine Peninsula branch had lost $26,627 for the year.

He was also concerned about the Lara branch after shareholders did a “pretty good job” raising capital.

“I’ll be surprised if they haven’t suffered losses.”

Bendigo Bank spokesperson Lauren Treacy said financial returns to branch communities

was “paramount”.

The Bellarine branch returned $55,900 last year and $300,000 since 1999 back to local community projects and groups, she said.

“There are many reasons a community decides to establish a community bank branch and shareholder returns are not the only benefit this banking model can achieve.”

Mrs Treacy said Bendigo had “the utmost confidence in the financial and social sustainability of the community bank model”.

Under the Bendigo model, profits are split between shareholders and investment in community projects.

Readers raise $5000 to help hospital

GROCERY giant Coles has raised $5000 for Geelong Hospital with the help of Independent readers.

The company published a fundraising voucher in the June 11 edition of the Independent for readers to cut out and present to Coles’ check-out operators.

Coles donated $5 from every $100 that voucher-holders spent on groceries to Barwon Health’s Geelong Hospital Appeal.

The company has presented the proceeds to Barwon Health executive director Gavin Seidel.

Independent managing editor Tony Galpin praised readers and Coles for helping raise the money.

“Few local causes are more deserving of our support than the Geelong Hospital Appeal,” Mr Galpin said.

“The Independent was thrilled to play a part in such a worthwhile community initiative.”

BY ERIN PEARSON WOOLWORTHS has agreed to move a lone pine memorial on a North Geelong site earmarked for retail development regardless of cost, according to a company spokesperson.

Legacy Geelong welcomed the agreement to preserve the living memorial for Australian soldiers after Woolworths executives flew down from Sydney this week.

Woolworths community relations manager Simon Berge said the company expected moving the tree would be costly.

“It would be fair to say it would cost many thousands to relocate the tree, probably

Revealed: The July 23 story in the Independent. around $10,000, but we’re not putting a budget on it - it’s an outcome we want to achieve,” he said.

“We’ve been advised by an arborist that he’s confident the

tree can be moved and we will provide that confirmation to Legacy as part of the deal going forward.”

Mr Berge said Woolworths was unaware of the tree when the company bought the site, part of the former Geelong Golf Club, last year.

“We’ve only become aware of this recently”.

Woolworths is waiting for state Planning Minister Justin Madden to approve redevelopment of the site with a big-box retail complex.

Legacy Geelong secretary Des Downey said Woolworths had agreed to move the pine to a location “we’re happy with”.

“They’ve pointed out a few spots they feel are appropriate but we will wait until the dust settles on what’s exactly going to happen out there.

“The tree needs to be located somewhere it can be tended to in the future and we hope for a park to surround the tree.”

Legacy planted the tree, a descendant of Gallipoli’s Lone Pine, in 1994 during the golf club’s centenary.

Another lone pine stands on the site of a motel proposed for RACV’s Torquay Golf Club.

Mr Madden’s office said the minister would probably make a decision on the Woolworths plan in the next fortnight.

Cheep thrills for volunteers who discovered rare parrot A SURVEY has found the largest known concentration of endangered orange-bellied parrots at Queenscliff’s Swan Island, according to Department of Sustainability and Environment.

The DSE survey counted five of the birds on the island and a further five spread out across southern Victoria and South Australia.

DSE biodiversity officer Rachel Sims said volunteers were “excited” to have found so many of the critically endangered birds.

“Finding a fifth of the remaining orange-bellied parrots on one weekend has taken a big effort from a lot of

volunteers and has provided us with valuable information for the ongoing effort to save this beautiful bird from extinction,” Ms Sims said.

“Over 100 volunteers spent the weekend searching islands, salt marshes, sewerage farms, paddocks and golf courses, all places the bird has been seen before.”

Ms Sims said the bird was one of the “rarest in the country”.

The parrot has a history of helping thwart controversial developments, including plans in the 1990s to move Melbourne’s Coode Island chemical storages to Point Lillias, opposite Geelong on the other side of Corio Bay.

Flash warning call for bridge

BY ANDREW MATHIESON VICROADS must install new signs and flashing lights to prevent more traffic chaos from trucks crashing into Breakwater’s railway bridge, according to Victoria’s peak motoring club.

RACV slammed VicRoads for failing to prevent accidents at the Breakwater Road overpass.

RACV public policy general manager Brian Negus said the bridge’s “pretty low” 3.7-metre clearance demanded improved warnings for truckies.

“We generally understand that not all bridges can be full-height clearances but certainly where possible it is highly desirable that there be at least 4.3 if not 4.7

metres because they are the two clearances that would usually prevail,” he said.

“In the absence of that being able to be provided, there should be signage and a height detector that can detect whether trucks are greater than the 3.7 metres of the bridge clearance and then flash lights as a pre-warning to any vehicle approaching.

“We would certainly urge that there should be checks, especially where you have low clearances on restricted situations because it can be quite dangerous.”

VicRoads closed the Breakwater Road between Tucker Street and Barwon Heads Road for almost two days last month after a truck hit the bottom of the

bridge, ripping the top of the truck’s trailer. Another truck became stuck under the bridge on Tuesday in what VicRoads described as a minor incident.

VicRoads south-western Victoria regional director Robin Miles said the roads authority was planning to build another bridge in the next two years as part of a realignment of Breakwater Road.

The new bridge would not need a height restriction, he said.

Mr Miles ruled out modifications to the existing bridge.

The realignment will deviate northward east of Barwon Heads Road over the river and railway line to the intersection of Fellmongers Road and Tucker Street.

Winners: Moorabool Ridge’s Tim Harrop, state parliamentary secretary for regional and rural development Jaala Pulford and Bellarine Estate’s Anthony Brain at the awards night.

TWO GEELONG region wineries have won top marks in statewide awards for wine.

Bellarine Estate continued its history of success at the seventh annual Fed Square Wine Awards Showcase, earning the title of best pinot noir and best red wine for the same product, Phil’s Festish.

The Bellarine Peninsula winery won best shiraz at the awards last year and best red wine in 2007.

Lethbridge’s Moorabool Ridge Winery won best semillion and best white wine.

Other finalists from the region included Austins Wines, Oakdene Vineyards and Provenance Wines.

Forty-five finalists from across Victoria had 70 wines for judging in the awards.

Head judge Ron Leslie praised the standard of wines at the awards.

“For a small state, Victoria has an amazing number of different microclimates, soil types and terroirs, which means it can produce an intriguing range of wines,” he said.

while he was sleeping,” she smiles.

Always dabbling in drawing and painting, Janne was privately inspired by an elderly Geelong portrait artist who fought a long battle with cancer while still teaching her new techniques.

Slowly Janne pushed aside her nine-to-five job while spending up to eight hours a day perfecting her art.

Whether it’s teaching or selling, art now makes Janne more money.

“I hope my work opens up minds on people with tattoos because there’s a lot more to it than just landscapes and stills,” she quips.

So far Janne has finished 14 works and has a further six waiting in the wings. She will snap hundreds of photos of a tattoo just to get one composition good enough for a painting. But in the name of all, time can be irrelevant.

“Tattoos are a rite of passage for some people,” Janne observes.

“It’s like a constant reminder to put the past behind them and move forward.

TATTOOS painfully needled onto the skin often tell tales of tough lives and hardships.

Artist Janne Kearney has her own past struggles but prefers to keep them hidden away while admiring body artwork from a safe distance behind an artist’s canvas.

As a painter specialising in images of tattooed bodies, Janne declares she has “virgin skin”.

“I wouldn’t be able to choose a tattoo for my own body or I’d want to change them all the time,” she says.

“But pain might have a little bit to do with it, too.”

Still, 47-year-old Janne can feel empathy with the pain her subjects have endured under the dreaded tattoo needle. Her first paint strokes came with their own pain.

Janne was the first Australian female painter and decorator back in 1981 when the profession was a closed shop to women. As a determined teenager, Janne sat exams twice just to get the elusive job at Ford’s Geelong plant.

“That was when equal opportunity was just fledgling,” she remembers.

“There were no reasons why they couldn’t hire a female painter and decorator but they tried to find as many reasons as they could.

“It was a really harrowing experience. I was only able to last two years because I was treated really unfairly by a lot of people.

“You expect it to be tough when you’re an apprentice but it was a lot more bullying and the comments were all about being a woman and taking their son’s jobs.”

Janne was left to clean and sand around the factory floor for the first 18 months, only occasionally painting the odd office but mainly grotty machinery parts.

“You name the dirtiest jobs in the place and I would have been given it,” Janne regrets.

“We were often painting the press line and I was covered in this greasy muck. The cleaner said it was too dirty for him to clean, so they got me to clean it.”

After years of managing a local paint store and then a job as a colour consultant for household interiors, Janne finally turned her creative talent to her own Geelong West home.

Beside the sharp, contrasting colours of the walls, a dazzling mural features in a bay window ceiling.

“I did that 15 years ago after my son was born

AUCTION

I CONGRATULATE the Independent for its coverage in recent weeks of the dangers of a permanent road closure in Alexander Crescent, Point Lonsdale.

The strange fact is that no one has produced any hard evidence that would lead a council to close the road, yet any form of closure would heighten the chances of tragedy if a wildfire came through the titree and melaleucas after most likely starting in the coastal reserve at the bottom of Fellows Road.

However, there are many other reasons why the road should remain open.

A majority of those responding to the notice of the closure want it open.

The only problem ever put forward was directed at three weeks of the summer holidays, which is scarcely a reason to block a beautiful road throughout the entire year. Permanent residents are totally inconvenienced by the closure all year round.

Council’s own engineer recommended against closure after exhaustive trials and surveys of opinion.

It is now nine months since the start of the “temporary” closure, which was to have ended in April 2010, yet the road is still closed.

Now an exclusive by-invitation workshop is to take place. This is a cynical attempt to try gather ingsupport from the small minority who are not permanent residents and whose only interest is a threeweek period in January.

Creepy prospect THE CONCERNS of Committee for Geelong’s Peter Dorling about Lalor electorate creep into the seat of Corio stack-up (Independent, August 6).

There’s no guarantee Avalon Airport’s advancement would get traction as part of Lalor given the ALP Rudd Government’s failure to grant international status to the airport in a decision on which Julia Gillard would have had input.

More to the point from Mr Dorling’s balanced perspective is Lalor’s track record.

Lalor has deserved more than lengthy spells of well-remunerated, passionate ALP true believers who, in turn, have hardly delivered net returns to the electorate.

Lalor, now a massive growth corridor of 100,000plus voters, still lacks a centrally located, cuttingedge hospital and is virtually devoid of performing arts precincts, let alone accompanying culture.

And who will be responsible for the ghetto issues a decade on after the ugly suburban sprawl of Tarneit and soon Melton, with 1300 blocks to go on the market?

Why Richard Marles, who said the electorate creep of Lalor would be a “huge advantage”, wants to torpedo his career by surfing on the coat tails of a dud is beyond me.

I WAS surprised to read last week’s Independent story about anger at Surf Coast Shire’s new design guide and even more surprised by councillors’ comments.

To go back to the start of the process, the shire had a former style guide that forced anyone building on the coast to include elements like round windows, wavy roofs, red doors, bright blue seaside colours and indigenous trees to screen houses. The policy made statements like “bricks don’t belong on the Surf Coast”.

As a councillor, I brought a motion to council to have the policy thrown out.

Councillors Rose Hodge, Libby Mears and Dean Webster did not support me but now they tout the success of the new policy and guide.

They have effectively supported an expensive review that ultimately supported my initial concerns about the previous, enforced policy.

The review recommended getting rid of the previous policy and replacing it with a non-enforceable design guide. I would have thought respecting the rights of individuals to make their own choices was a good thing compared to telling them what they must do.

If Crs Mears, Hodge and Webster listened in the first place we would have come up with the same result without wasting all that cash.

And Cr Joe Remenyi’s concerns about not being around at the start of the process were even more bewildering given the front-page status the review received at the time and council’s repeated calls for comments and submissions, which Joe didn’t make.

What a shame she doesn’t do the same for other citizens and remind people not to smoke or drink alcohol on the beach as well.

I still constantly find cigarette butts and pieces of broken glass in the sand as I sit and play with my three-year-old at Jan Juc Beach where I recently cut my foot on a piece of glass.

Why does Cr Coker just victimise one group of the community or are we dog owners perhaps just the easiest revenue-raising target for council coffers?

Super slackers IN REGARDS to last week’s Independent story about Arc Engineering, a few business doing it tough could be cribbing on their superannuation obligations.

precinct provides a marvellous opportunity to realise the promises made by Prime Minister Julia Gillard on the creation of a wide-ranging set of educational opportunities for Australian communities.

The inadequate and outdated building and facilities that make up the centre are welldocumented, as are the benefits of a range of programs providing creative, educational and cultural benefit to the life of Geelong and its visitors.

I urge our representatives of the Federal Government to make funds available to put the centre at the forefront of learning and community development programs in Geelong.

Such facilities are vital to the social, cultural and economic growth of our community.

We hear far too often about businesses closing down and workers’ superannuation not being paid to their funds.

The law says that super funds are supposed to report to the Australian Tax Office if businesses do not pay super at the appointed time, which is usually at the end of quarters but occasionally businesses opt to pay monthly.

Most funds will send a reminder and give a little slack if the business has proved to be a good payer in the past.

In the case of Arc, the super is 20 months late.

That means the super fund did not report Arc after six months of lateness and, if it did, the ATO still hasn’t done its job 14 months later.

FEDERAL opposition deputy leader Julie Bishop has promised $15 million for a longawaited and welcome upgrade of Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (Independent, August 6).

A City of Greater Geelong commitment of $20 million to the upgrade is a major, innovative contribution toward the cultural, educational and economic development of Geelong and its citizens.

State Government committed $7.9 million in its 2008/2009 budget and a further $3 million in 2009/2010 to upgrade Playhouse Theatre at Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

Going wild for women

Something from Cate

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG nightlife revellers will have the opportunity to experience one of Australia's most-sought-after DJs tomorrow night when Ministry of Sound's Goodwill hits the DJ booth at Home House.

Goodwill, MOS's highest selling Australian artist, said Geelong could expect something “a bit different” as he aimed to "highlight" the importance of club music.

"Clubs are where it all started, so you're going to see a DJ perform deeper music there than anywhere else,” he said.

Goodwill, whose real name is William Cate, has mixed countless MOS compilations, mashed the likes of Sneaky Sound System and Axwell and headlined almost every Australian music festival.

As a wayward 16-year-old, Cate left home to spend his days in the care of local Sydney DJs. Months later he was overriding the likes of DJs Mick Law and Pocket in the popularity stakes. By 18 he was a regular at Sydney's hottest clubs.

"I always thought I'd do something creative but never thought I'd end up writing music," Cate said.

Despite earning international recognition, Cate said he still enjoyed the "intimate club experience".

"Geelong has always been good to me and I'm really looking forward to coming back."

Wild woman: Kelly Auty brings her one-woman show to Geelong and Queenscliff this weekend.

BY ERIN PEARSON KELLY Auty will bring her “love of all things jazz, blues, gospel, country and rock” to Geelong and Queescliff this weekend as part of her Wild Women Show.

Auty said the performances “pay homage” through song and sequin to some of the most “empowering” female singers of the 20th Century.

“I aim to pay respect to great female singers from 1920 to 1970 and travel from jazz to Patsy Cline right up to Janis Joplin through my shows,” she said.

“These women are all battlers and came from nothing and made something of their lives.

“I want to highlight how wonderful they were because they left us a great legacy behind.”

Auty said she had performed in costume to mimic the likes of Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Edith Piaf, Peggy Lee and Aretha Franklin for the past seven years.

“I think a lot of people go with what’s fashionable but I think there’s always a groundswell of people who love the old music,” she said.

“If you can pick great songs you can take people on a trip down memory lane.

“Everyone will to get involved if you invite them.”

Auty, who has been performing for more than 30 years, was born in Shepparton before moving to a Kimberly research station as a young child. She later travelled to Darwin and Brisbane before settling in the Dandenongs.

The songstress said the travels had imbued her with “cultural and musical influences a patchwork; a myriad of finely tuned, well-honed voices rich with living and authenticity”.

Travelling with her band to refresh everything blues, gospel, country, rock and jazz, Auty said music was her life.

However, she struggled to single out an all-time favourite tune.

“There are so many great singers and songs that I can’t choose a favourite,” she said.

“I love to sing and I love to entertain and I really enjoy the challenge of singing everything from Billie Holiday to Tina Turner.

“I think this indecision is one of the things that lets me do what I do for such a long time.”

Auty will perform her Wild Women Show at Geelong’s The Studio on Saturday night and at Queenscliff Uniting Church on Sunday.

orth Geelong’s Sphinx is celebrating its 39th birthday this month with some exciting additions.

Julie Siketa says her family has run the business since her father Ray Ramia and mother Elaine built the venue, formerly known as Golf View Hotel, in 1971.

“We’ve been in the industry so long we know what Geelong people enjoy in food and entertainment but the Sphinx has certainly changed over the years.

“The hotel used to open until 6pm before increasing to 10pm then 1am and now 4.30am.”

The venue has undergone major renovations since the Golf View days.

“The hotel was the first place in Geelong to run a disco and the Sphinx used to have top Australian acts in way back then, such as Cold Chisel, Ice House and The Little River Band.

“Entertainment has changed a lot in Geelong, so now the focus is on offering a one-stop entertainment spot.”

The Sphinx now offers a TAB, a nightclub, a function room for up to 350 guests, hotel accommodation and a drive-through bottle shop.

The venue is giving away a 3D TV to celebrate the anniversary.

Julie advises locals to also drop in to try the cuisine of new head

The Independent, Friday August 13, 2010.

Veteran duo to reprise ‘favourite material’ VETERAN Geelong entertainers Colin Mockett and Shirely Power will present a best-of show at Drysdale’s Potato Shed this month.

The married duo will perform their favourite material from a back-catalogue covering everything from Celtic music

and the comedy of grumpy old men through to the songs of decades throughout the 20th Century.

Their Fine Music, Fun & Fantastic Yarns will feature at the Potato Shed as part of the City of Greater Geelong’s Morning Showtime series.

Power will sing a selection of songs from performers such as Joan Baez and Edith Piaf while Mockett will tell pet yarns and recite poems before satirising “topical events”.

Mockett said federal election results would be a target of his performance, with the show

scheduled for three days after the national vote.

The show will start 10.30am on August 24.

Mockett said tickets cost $13.50 including refreshments from City outlets or by phoning 5251 1998.

letters Price of Green votes MANY people will vote for the Greens as a protest vote against the Liberals and Labor.

This may not be a good idea. If the Greens gain the balance of power in the senate they will hold the party that wins the election over a barrel and coerce it into implementing their policies, which will savagely impact on living costs while doing nothing about climate change.

The Greens will support Labor’s original 40 per cent mining industry tax and shut down Australia’s $50 billion coal export industry within three years, according to leader Bob Brown.

The Greens’ party plan to shut down all coal-fired power stations, which generate over 80 per cent of Australia’s electricity, and replace them with unreliable and expensive wind energy and solar power systems that cost three to 10 times more than coal power.

People must do their homework before subscribing to the Greens’ push to replace coal with renewable energy and to bring in an emissions trading scheme.

The Productivity Commission has stated that wind power would conservatively cost twice as much as coal-fired power. Solar energy costs would be around 10 times as high and geo thermal power about three times as high.

The Greens want to supply city water from costly desalination plants instead of building new reservoirs, which will skyrocket the cost of water.

The implementation of Greens policies would dramatically increase costs to every home, office and industry across Australia.

We would all pay, as well as our children and grandchildren.

Alan Barron Grovedale

Ready for action

IN REGARDS to the federal election, Victoria’s master builders have expressed concern about the ramifications of the Australian Greens’ policies.

There is a real possibility the Greens could gain control of the federal senate after August 21.

In response, Master Builders Association of Victoria has launched a statewide campaign scrutinising the Greens’ policies in the areas of housing affordability, jobs and economic recovery.

We contend these policies will: • undermine housing affordability; • threaten job security for energy, manufacturing, mining and

Radley de Silva forestry workers; • increase industrial unrest and workplace thuggery by abolishing the ABCC; • prevent and delay the con-

ing action.

The Government doesn’t need to ask Australians whether we are ready to take action – we are ready now.

The promise to ensure that new coal-fired power stations are “carbon-capture ready” will be completely meaningless if carbon capture technology is not proven and adopted.

The only assurance of a real solution to coal pollution is to commit to stop building coal-fired power stations unless and until carbon capture technology is proven and adopted.

The Greens are ready to work with the Government to deliver an immediate carbon price.

The Prime Minister’s announcement of $1 billion for the renewable energy grid may be a move forward but it is a slow crawl.

It compares poorly to the $2.5 billion allocated to the unproven theory of carbon capture and storage and is not what’s needed to drive a renewable energy revolution.

Gavin Brown Greens candidate for Corio

Eat less nature CLIMATE action groups are right to raise awareness of the need for electricity generation from lowemission, renewable sources.

However, there is a risk of focusing on electrical energy production to the exclusion of other pressing ecological issues.

struction of vital community infrastructure and; • endanger Australia’s fragile economic recovery.

The association does not wish to tell people how to vote, which is every Australian’s democratic choice and right.

The association simply wishes to ensure that all Victorians are aware of the consequences of voting Green at the upcoming election.

Please think before you vote.

A new website supporting the association’s campaign is at www.thinkbeforeyouvote.com.au Radley de Silva Master Builders Association of Victoria deputy executive director

Natural systems provide us with fresh air, climate regulation, clean water, soil formation, pollination of plants, fisheries and assimilation of wastes including CO2. Experts in these fields report that these systems are all in decline.

Electricity generation represents only five per cent of Victoria’s demand on these natural systems.

The food we eat represents 40 per cent and consumption of manufactured goods is another 40 per cent.

These are the two categories we can act on immediately as consumers. For example, if we reduce our consumption of meat and other animal products by one 150g meal a week, over a year we reduce our greenhouse pollution by up to 300kg and reduce our water use by up to 10,000 litres.

Growing our own food or buying from local sources dramatically reduces our ecological footprint.

Sustainable energy systems are important but must come second to these bigger issues.

Phil Baulch Belmont

Wake up to Labor PRIME Minister Julia Gillard wants to talk up the economy as one of her strengths.

Well here is the unadulterated truth.

Labor Government frauds are misleading when they tell us Australia is the only country that dodged

the recession and will be the only country in three years to be back in surplus.

Norway is massively in surplus, while Switzerland and South Korea will almost certainly beat Australia back into the black. More importantly, they also have lower unemployment figures than Australia.

Treasurer Wayne Swan and Ms Gillard also fail to mention Australia’s incredibly large deficit of $100 billion-plus that they accumulated with $100 million in borrowing per day. They have to cover for their own incompetence.

Mr Swan and Ms Gillard also base their figures on the world economy not slipping back into recession, which may well happen.

Wake up, Australia, because this government has the economic credentials of a drunken sailor and Australians will have to pay for the hangover with higher taxes and higher gas and electricity prices.

Ron Nelson Highton

Go west, land owners I CONGRATULATION Planning Minister Justin Madden for having the strength to make a decision on extending Torquay’s western boundary, which is long overdue because planning infrastructure will take years to complete.

Surf Coast Mayor Libby Coker is correct in her history of the C37 amendment: the area one-kilometre west of Duffields Road was earmarked in the early 1980s as a growth area.

Bellbrae Residents Association wants to control development, not listen to land owners who want to work with restrained growth.

L Rogers Torquay

Bad design MEMBER for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman has not challenged my long list of complaints about the way he and his Labor Government have been taxing our patience and our pockets with half-baked schemes to get us to do what they think is right by the environment .

I am sure no voter would allow a non-builder to build their house yet Mr Cheeseman and his crew expect us to keep trusting them to build complex, credible environmental vehicles when their chosen builders are on a drip feed and, as managers, they are prepared to let the Greens design everything now anyway.

John Modra Colac 487342-SAH32-10

IT’S TIME for Julia Gillard to make a real move forward on climate change.

The problem of climate change is moving forward faster than an ALP advertising campaign. In the meantime, the Labor Government is crawling along at a snail’s pace.

Scientists have reached consensus that climate change is caused by humans and that we need to take immediate action yet the Government somehow sees the need to call for the citizens of Australia to determine whether we need to take action.

I’m ready to take action and I’m doing it now.

BOXFIT Geelong is set to give back to the community as part of the company’s first birthday celebrations.

Part-owner and cancer survivor Brad Pedersen believes cancer has affected almost every family in Geelong, so the team at Boxfit has decided to help.

“We’re running a fundraiser to help support the proposed children’s cancer clinic in Geelong,” he says.

“Funds will also go toward 10year-old cancer battler Seth Sanderson who has cancer of the muscles and fibre tissue. Boxfit Geelong wants to assist Seth’s

family with the cost of his surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.”

Boxfit has organised a silent auction from midday on August 15 at Buckley’s to help raise money.

Ultimate retirement at Leopold’s Kensington eopold’s Kensington Retirement Village offers the ultimate lifestyle for retirement years.

New residents have already made the village home and are enjoying a relaxed, comfortable lifestyle.

More room is available for extra residents with two and three-bedroom homes available for immediate possession. Located at the start of the Bellarine Peninsula, Leopold has so much to offer.

The retirement village is only a 12minute drive from central Geelong and close to beaches and golf courses.

Stage one of Kensington Retirement Village is sold out, while stage two and three are 70 per cent sold Stage four is well on the way to completing the entire village of 59 homes.

One of Kensington’s drawcards is a state-of-the-art community centre with indoor and outdoor activities.

A heated indoor pool and spa, a sauna and a gymnasium help residents stay fit and active, while an indoor area and a games room with a billiards table keep their minds busy.

Residents can relax and unwind in a lounge sitting area, enjoy a cuppa in the dining and function room, or sip on a drink at the happy hour bar.

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 $130,000, Pelican Shores Estate, a secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged, not only offers a range of new homes but has newly available home sites that are situated a stone’s throw from the water’s edge. If you can picture yourself relaxing on the deck of your brandnew home enjoying the beautiful waters of Corio Bay, being the envy of all your friends, then Pelican Shores Estate could be the place for you.

Like many baby boomers heading towards 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.

you can lock up your home, hook up the caravan

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?’”

village facilities that include a jetty, boat ramp and

Pelican Shores Estate has additional storage space for residents’ caravans and boats. This means that

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, boat club, swimming pool, and a community centre that caters for all your social and recreational requirements.

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!

ith statistics showing that Australia’s ageing population is growing at a rate of almost four times faster than the total population, it’s not surprising demand for home care services is also rising.

Duane Bell, community services manager for Southern Cross Care in the Barwon region, has seen a steady increase in the demand from older people seeking support services so they can continue living in their own homes.

The organisation is one of the state’s leading providers of residential aged and community care services. In the past year, it has supported more than 2000 older Victorians with almost 240,000 hours of in-home care.

“SCC Victoria understands how important it is for older people or those with disabilities to keep their independence and continue living safely in their own home as long as they can,” Mr Bell says.

“Through our community support services we can provide older people with the care necessary that will enable them to achieve this.”

Mr Bell says SCC can provide a range of in-home services, from extra help with house cleaning to preparing meals or assistance with personal care.

“We can tailor a support program to meet the individual needs of clients, their families and carers 24 hours a day, seven days a

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.

ax McGinley, a retired motor mechanic and former Geelong businessman wasn’t satisfied when he finished the sporty little Morris Minor convertible, so he built a scaled down caravan to suit the car and is now planning camping trips around Victoria and New South Wales.

Max, who was well known in the Geelong motor trade for several years, said he bought the 1952 Morris Minor from a friend who lived just two blocks away from his Portarlington home.

I towed the car home, but it had no brakes so I had a couple of my mates walk along the road and hold the car steady with a couple of ropes as I drove the short distance home.

That was in April 2009 and for the next 12 months he rebuilt the car.

“I replaced every piece of rubber around the body and I rebuilt the motor. It’s got a Cooper S cylinder head and pistons and it has gone from 950cc to 1132cc.”

Cooper S twin carburettors have also been added under the bonnet and up the back Max has put in a higher ratio differential.

“I have beefed up the suspension and put in Armstrong Shock absorbers and torsion bars and leaf springs which

has stiffened the suspension up nicely.

The Armstrongs are a beautiful shock absorber and I have reconditioned each one, or I prefer to say I have resealed each one.”

Max said there was at least two and a half-hour’s work in each shocker.

He said he “cut his teeth” on BMC cars when he was a younger mechanic and knew the range well including the legendary Mini, MG, Austin and Morris.

“But if I put the bonnet up on a modern car of today I really don’t know what I am looking at. Modern auto engineering has come a long way.

The engines today are beautifully built and they do a terrific job,” Max admited.

“If you put the little Morris Minor engine up against a modern equivalent there is no comparison, the modern engine is just so sophisticated.”

“But the older engines are easier for the back yard mechanic to work on. I have everything I need in my home workshop to rebuild the older engines.”

The Morris Minor is a genuine factory built convertible, Max said.

“Not a chop-top like so many if them are these days. Cut down sedans.”

With a plan to take part in the threeweek trip up the east coast of Australia with the Morris Minor Touring Club in October, Max decided he needed a caravan but they were all too big for the little Morris to tow, so he decided build his own scaled-down version.

“I bought an old trailer for $35 and got the axle and wheels and built the caravan up from that.

The frame has been made from aluminium square tubing and panelling and the chassis was made from 32mm aluminium tube.

“The van is not the typical tear drop shape from the 40s, it is based on the modern van with a rounded top. I found I lost too much space inside with the teardrop. I might catch a bit more wind with the square shape but the Morris is very stable.”

When it came time to register the finished caravan he took it across to the Drysdale recycling centre.

“They’ve got a weigh-bridge there and it weighed in at 380 kilograms. It’s just 1.2 metres wide and 2.4 metres long,” he said.

“The caravan has got a sink and kitchenette in the back and a comfortable double bed inside the van.”

“The Morris can cruise with the caravan attached at 80 km/h, so it will be right for the trip in October. We intend to travel up the coast to Sydney and come home through the snowy mountains. All up we will do about 3000 kilometres.” Max said.

Smokin’: Watch out for an engine that smokes. It could be due for an overhaul. live away from the beaten track.

The makeup of the Getz is simple and a good home mechanic can do a lot of the routine work. It’s always best if safety related items are left to the professional.

And it’s wise to buy a workshop manual for the car before attempting anything other than basic work.

Despite the arrival of its apparent

replacement, the new Hyundai i20, the Getz will remain on sale until mid-2011.

Quite a few will have begun their lives as hire cars. Not necessarily a bad thing as servicing will have been done by the book.

But some get driven badly by uncaring operators. Look for cars with a lot of kilometres for their ages.

An engine that smokes when worked hard and/or is hard to start when cold could be due for an overhaul.

Gearboxes that crunch when you change down fast could likewise be due for major repairs. The oft-used three-two change is usually the first to suffer.

Body damage, or repaired panels, could be a problem. Look for paint that doesn’t quite match, for paint on bits that shouldn’t have it such as glass, badges or rubber seals. Sight along panels for signs of a ripple finish.

Check for excessive wear and tear inside the cabin, particularly in the back seat.

Also check out the boot in case it has been used to cart rough and/or bulky items.

BY ERIC BLAIR big mover in the sales race in Australia, Hyundai’s Getz falls into the super mini class and can transport a family with ease if the kids haven’t yet reached the hulking teenager stage.

From March 2003, Getz was offered with a smaller engine. Though it only displaced 1.3 litres it was mated to a gearbox with lower ratios than the 1.5-litre. So performance was similar off the line and when overtaking. The price was trimmed, using the smaller engine as an excuse to do so and sales really started to take off at this time.

Getz is sold with three or five doors, with the latter being the price-leader, however, most have the added convenience of back doors.

Some earlier imports of the Getz had air conditioning as an extra cost option and wasn’t installed in all cars.

We have mentioned the lower cost 1.3litre engine, the Hyundai Getz began its life in here with a 1.5-litre unit. In a car weighing just on a tonne this made for sprightly performance and the ability to climb most hills without a struggle.

Hyundai uprated the engine range as part of an overall upgrade of the Getz in October 2005. This time the capacities both increased; to 1.4 and 1.6 litres. At the same time the car received a facelift and tail tuck.

Transmission options are five-speed manual and four-speed automatic throughout the range. The auto does cause a noticeable loss of performance, but we have felt worse. The automatic transmission also increases petrol consumption.

There are plenty of Hyundai dealers in this country. Though they tend to be gathered in the major metro areas there’s a decent representation in the bush as well.

Spare parts prices are about average for this class, meaning they are generally reasonable. We hear of few real complaints about parts being hard to get, though it can take a day or two for them to arrive if you

HOSPITALITY

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Roller Derby’s top two sides will face-off in their season finale on Sunday after beating Ballarat’s Rat Pack last weekend.

The Atom Bombs and Psychotics will both play in their first grand finals after a year in the rink.

Roller Derby is a full-contact women’s sport played on quad skates.

Media and marketing liason Sarah Agterhuis, who plays under the name Riff Raff Saff, said both teams had come a long way this year with “game play getting more strategic”.

“We keep the referees on their toes as the game happens quite quickly and spectators can expect a fast-paced, strategic game,” she said.

“If you haven’t been to a bout before don’t worry - at the beginning of every bout we have a demonstration of the game and its rules.”

Agterhuis said both teams were in top form.

“The Atom Bombs will want to make it three straight wins for the season and the Psychotics are still smarting from losing by 101 points in this year’s season opener.”

The Psychotics beat Atom Bombs in all three bouts last sea-

son but Agterhuis said this year’s grand final would provide tough competition for both teams.

“Everyone involved in Geelong’s Roller Derby League is proud of how far the league has come in such a short amount of time,” she said.

Geelong Roller Derby League recently ranked fifth in Australia and New Zealand in its first national tournament.

Skaters progress from “fresh meat” to intermediates before becoming “bouting” skaters.

Agterhuis said the final started 2pm Sunday at Leisuretime, Bell Post Hill.

Tickets were $10 for adults and $5 for children, she said.

Derby women in final ‘bout’

Book Now

A MALAYSIAN national cycling team heads a compact 110-man field to contest the GMHBA Tour of Geelong and Victorian open road championships this week.

Malaysia will have nine riders in the tour, with New Caledonia and New Zealand fielding five each.

Organisers said the 19 overseas riders had injected a shot of international class into the fiveday tour from August 11 to 15.

The final three days from this Friday to Sunday will double as state road titles for men and women.

Event director John Craven said the tour and championships had attracted 305 entries across the board.

“It’s a terrific outcome and a great boost for the concept of linking the tour with the championships,” he said.

“The quality of the racing promises to be fantastic; a great build-up to the up-coming world championships in Geelong.”

Organisers expected reigning Malaysian road champion Adiq Othman and New Zealanders Rico Rogers and Gordon McCauley to give some of Australia’s best young talent hot competition in the Geelong tour.

Othman was prominent in tough hill climbs in last week’s Lakes Oil Tour of Gippsland. Rogers finished third overall in the event and McCauley was awarded most aggressive rider.

Coach rushes ‘into defence’

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG coach Mark Thompson has been forced to defend several key players just days out from another top-four clash against Western Bulldogs.

Tom Hawkins’ battles in the ruck, Joel Selwood’s attempts to draw high tackles, James Podsiadly’s indifferent away form and even Mark Blake’s attempt to regain his spot have all came under intense scrutiny.

Thompson said the Cats were taking in their stride external criticism following a third loss from the past seven games.

“This time last year – we shouldn’t look back too much – back by round 21 teams were queuing up to play Geelong,” he said.

“Well, it’s round 20 this week, so it’s not that dissimilar to last year, so I’ve got the faith, absolutely.

“It’s a funny game – it’s a week to week thing.

“If you win, everyone’s happy and talks you up. If you lose, you get belted around the ears.”

Thompson admitted Hawkins

“struggled a bit” in the ruck in the 22-point loss against Collingwood.

Rival Darren Jolly told Geelong radio his eyes lit up when he saw the Cats part-timer struggle at the centre bounces.

“That’s a big statement,” Thompson said.

Selwood raised the ire of Magpies fans last Saturday night for earning several free kicks from high tackles.

Hawks great Dermott Brereton suggested the midfielder had perfected a method of pushing tacklers’ arms up toward his head and shoulders to earn the attention of umpires.

Ironically, Collingwood was the first club to raise concerns about Selwood ducking with the AFL two years ago.

“It’s probably an issue - he gets a lot of (frees),” Thompson conceded.

“But he does stick his head over the ball a lot more than other players do.

“The umpires can only pay it as they see it and if there’s a little technique there where the opposi-

tion’s arms fly and they do get him around the neck, well, around the neck is around the neck.”

Thompson said an out-of-form Podsiadly should “get back to enjoying every game of football that he ever gets to play”.

The J-Pod copped unexpected harsh words from former Cat and media personality Billy Brownless over his inability to perform on the big stage.

“Look, he’s under pressure but he has been a remarkable story this year – there’s no question he’s been fantastic for us,” Thompson said.

“I think right now he is playing to sort of stay in the team.”

Thompson was quick to dismiss flak over ruckman Blake who has been languishing in the reserves out of favour behind Hawkins and Trent West.

“When he was in the side a lot of supporters wanted him out,” Thompson said.

“Now that he’s out, they want him back in, so make up your mind.

“We probably see it clearer than a lot of our supporters.”

Oh my cod: Ross Virt with one of the Murray cod he caught on fly from the Loddon River.

Plastics fantastic along city’s waterfront On the bite BRIAN LONG some great bags. St Leonards is still producing many fish between 33cm and 38cm, with similar results at Edwards Point.

Don Cleveland chased whiting in the Queenscliff Bight where he caught fish to 44cms in his bag of 11 fish.

Anglers prepared to battle cold nights at Swan Bay have caught gummy shark to 5kg on fresh squid during the run-off from high tide.

Terry Thomas landed nine big leatherjackets from the mouth of Swan Bay, the best 50cm. All took a liking to his pippie baits intended for whiting.

Terry also landed his bag limit of southern calamari in the same area.

Queenscliff’s cut produced silver trevally for soft plastics anglers, with Motor Oil curl-tail grubs and Turtleback worms hard to go past. An hour either side of high or low tide is generally best.

Surf anglers had a quiet week, with salmon numbers generally down due to a large ground swell churning up the sand inshore. When the water cleared, fish were still available at renowned local beaches but the best reports were from rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay where the water was generally cleaner.

In freshwater, some outstanding captures were taken in the past week, none better than those of Ross Virt. Noted for his Murray Cod fly-tying skills, Ross took a trip to the Loddon River with a couple of mates where they fished from a variety of small craft to hit the water early casting surface lures and fly.

The action started straight away, with only a couple of fish landed. As the day progressed Spinnerbaits become the lure doing the damage, along with fly on sinking lines, with all fish caught released to fight another day.

Closer to home, Wurdee Boluc Reservoir rewarded patient anglers with brown trout to 2.2kg along with rainbows to just over 1kg.

Fly anglers took the bigger numbers of rainbows, while lures accounted for the majority of browns. Best fly was Mrs Simpsons and Woolly Buggers, with the best lures Pegron minnows and Vibrax spinners.

Lake Bullen Merri had shore-based anglers again catching rainbow trout on Powerbait and counterparts trolling in boats landing some nice browns ranging between 2kg and 3kg. Tassie Devils in a wide range of colours have been working, with gold a clear favourite.

Lake Purrumbete produced rainbow and brown trout on mudeye fished along the shore margins. However, trolling again accounted for the best captures.

Downrigging at six to 10 metres has been perfect but just as many fish have been caught flat-lining.

BFL This weekend’s final round of Bellarine Football League games will finally settle the composition up of the final five.

For most of the season Anglesea and Ocean Grove have been locked in battle for fifth spot, with only the Grubbers’ better percentage keeping them holding their spot going into this round.

With Anglesea expected to beat Newcomb, all the Grubbers will have to do to keep their spot is beat Torquay at Spring Creek Reserve on Saturday.

Sounds simple but it isn’t because fourth-placed Torquay beat top-placed Drysdale last weekend and may have finally hit its straps.

Not many sides have beaten Drysdale this year and the talent-laden Tigers did it by a point, with the experienced Adam Bird, Brent Christie and Josh Gray leading by example.

For Ocean Grove to win this one it will have to have Wade Piec, Greg Costello and Daniel Maloney in full flight because beating Torquay on its home ground is a big challenge.

Local Footy FRANK MASON The Grubbers have said 2010 is a re-building year for the club but expect their competitive nature to be to the fore in this match because playing finals is nearly a given for the club.

Expect it to do its best but Torquay will take the points and elevate Anglesea to fifth spot.

Other selections: ANGLESEA v Newcomb, Barwon Heads v DRYSDALE, Portarlington v AMATEURS, QUEENSCLIFF v Modewarre.

GDFL Geelong and District Football League enters its final round of homeand-away games this weekend with the final five set in stone.

Werribee Centrals, Bell Post Hill, Bannockburn, East Geelong and North Geelong will battle it out in the finals series and even tomorrow’s results won’t change the order in which they will finish.

Tomorrow’s attention is focussed on the Bell Post Hill and East Geelong game at Myers Reserve.

The Panthers are on a roll at the moment and, despite their second position on the ladder, are the raging premiership favourite.

East Geelong beat the Panthers in last year’s grand final and would love to win this one to let everyone know it has the capability to win this year’s flag despite finishing fourth on the ladder.

Hopefully the Eagles will soon have gun forward Ryan Closter back into the side because injury problems have been a real setback for the side this year.

It’s always a close one between these two and this match will be no different but the Panthers will lead on the scoreboard at the end of this one.

Other selections: Belmont Lions v INVERLEIGH, WERRIBEE CENTRALS v Corio, NORTH GEELONG v Geelong West, BANNOCKBURN v Anakie, WINCHELSEA v Thomson.

CONDITIONS in the past week were trying but anglers prepared to put in hard hours were rewarded with quality captures.

Greg Farnsworth landed a mixed bag of species while casting Turtleback worms under the moored boats at Western Beach.

Snapper and salmon made up most of his catch but a tailor or 48cm was a welcome surprise.

Jacob Western also fished soft plastics but along the wall at Royal Geelong Yacht Club where he found salmon in good numbers along with small snapper, his best at 44cm. Jacob’s best action was on the lead-up to high tide.

Geelong’s waterfront produced snapper between 30cm and 45cm on both soft plastics and chicken baits. Most days the action was on for the first two hours as the tide ran off from high.

Garfish have spread throughout the bay, with land-based anglers getting results from the landings near Pivot and Fisherman’s piers. Silverfish have been the best bait, with berley essential.

Outer-harbour anglers found great numbers of squid between Alcoa Pier and Clifton Springs. Fishing the shallow grass beds rewarded most with consistent baglimit captures.

Danny Jones fished Wilson Spit for snapper without luck, although he managed four nice gummy shark, the best at 8.6kg cleaned.

Mat and Greg Welsh drifted Long Reef where squid were so thick that their soft plastics were constantly chewed up.

However, persistence paid off with six nice snapper to 2.4kg.

This winter has produced good whiting captures, with dedicated anglers enjoying

LEOPOLD’S slim Geelong Football League finals hopes will remain alive if it can overcome St Mary’s at Memorial Park this weekend.

The Lions have been desperately unlucky this year in losing six games by a goal or less but the door to finals action is still ajar due to a recent form slide by Lara and St Josephs.

Aaron Greaves will have his side focussed on winning this game and not worrying about how the other games are going.

Last week the Lions lost to South Barwon by six points and will hope that Josh Dore, Ryan Dahlhaus and Luke Gale can take their good form from that game into this one.

St Mary’s sits third on the ladder but is in a form slump, losing its past two games. It’s a worry because both defeats were at hands of sides well below it on the ladder.

Another loss will put it in third place and the double chance that comes with it in jeopardy.

Expect Leopold to answer the challenge of finals-like pressure to win a close one.

Other selections: Grovedale v NEWTOWN, Colac v ST JOSEPHS, BELL PARK v St Albans, West Saints v LARA and North Shore v SOUTH BARWON.
