Write on! Women of literature to spell out their experiences Website ‘bid to save Bells’ BY ERIN PEARSON WRITING enthusiasts will be privy to the secrets of 10 leading industry professionals this weekend at Airey’s Inlet. Organiser Nicole Maher said multi-media event Women on the Road Writers Weekend would feature Channel Seven producer MaryAnne Carroll, Age columnist Kate Holden and novelist Cate Kennedy, among others, in two days of literary workshops. Ms Maher said the festival would be a huge coup for the Surf Coast. “We really like bringing these events to the shire, this obviously being one of the bigger ones,” she said. “All 10 women are delighted to come down because at most festivals they don’t see the beach or spend a wonderful weekend together. We’re very excited.” Ms Maher said Ms Carroll and Amanda Smith would be highlights. Ms Carroll worked on a variety of productions for Disney and Nickelodeon before taking responsibility for Channel Seven’s All Saints and City Homicide. She is now series producer for Winners & Losers. Ms Smith is presenter of ABC Radio National’s Artworks and produced various arts programs before initiating the station’s The Sports Factor. Playwright Hannie Rayson, who will be festival MC, said the weekend would be just as much for readers as writers. “My idea had been to get a group of fabulous women to talk about the process of creating a story from a whole range of perspectives,” she said. “We want to expose Airey’s Inlet to women who are funny and successful to talk about the issues in their respective Booked in: Nicole Maher looks forward to Women on the Road Writers Weekend at Airey’s Inlet. industries – and they can’t wait.” Picture: Tommy Ritchie

BY ERIN PEARSON A GROUP fighting to preserve Bells Beach will launch a website after heavy summer rain and inadequate drainage continued damaging the international surfing icon, according to a spokesperson. Bells Beach Preservation Society’s Maurice Cole said months of heavy rain and council inaction was taking its toll on the surfing reserve. “No one’s been out there to fix anything even though we’ve been monitoring the area for months,” Mr Cole said. “This is our national icon beach and the whole side of the cliff near the stairs is coming down due to poor drainage. There’s been no maintenance.” Mr Cole said he hoped the preservation society’s website would get a “better result for Bells”. Mr Cole and other members formed the preservation society after Surf Coast Shire last year announced it would replace them on a Bells Beach Advisory Committee. The new committee will be in charge of monitoring the shire’s management plan for Bells, which council approved in November. Mr Cole has described the preservation society as an independent body to work in the best interests of Bells Beach. Surf Coast Shire does not respond to the Independent’s requests for comment.
Coast growth ‘shock’ shire is expected to continue, dominated by new growth areas in Torquay, particularly to the north and west of the town.” The report also identified “large new greenfield opportunities” in Torquay that would “dominate population growth”. Mr Bell called the report another “shocker” demonstrating the shire refused to hear residents’
concerns about growth. “This report predicts eight per cent population increase between 2011 and 2016. If we don’t drop-off to one per cent we’re going to lose this place to a concrete jungle.” The report said the shire’s population would increase 60 per cent to 44,101 between 2011 and 2031. The 16,517 additional residents would represent a 93 per cent

“It would be great for industry and income within the town but the thing is to make sure we’ve got the infrastructure to meet these needs,” he said. “We don’t want people racing out of town for shopping.” Mayor Dean Webster had not returned the Independent’s call for comment before the paper went to press.

BY KIM WATERS A SOLUTION to kangaroos damaging Queenscliff Golf Club’s greens could be available by the end of the year, according to the Defence Department. A spokesperson said the department, which is responsible for the club’s land on the military base of Swan Island, said an environmental study would be complete by the end of the year. “The report will guide future management actions and long-term maintenance programs for both flora and fauna,” the spokesperson said. “The study will incorporate monitoring of grazing animals, including kangaroos and possums as well as vegetation communities.” Queenscliff Golf Club members have called for the department to cull the island’s “exploding” kangaroo population as the animals rip into greens, leaving repairs bills now totalling thousands of dollars. The club faces paying more than another $11,000 trying to stop the damage while it waits for the department’s end-of-year solution. Club greens chairman Robert Warren told the Independent last week that the Department promised the study three months ago. “Meanwhile we’re losing time and money trying to keep the grounds in order and keep our members happy,” he said. “Some of the greens have over 100 holes and then the next day there are more.” Mr Warren said after a year-long battle with the department the club had “no choice” but to spend $450 every two weeks on fertiliser treatments to deter the kangaroos. “It’s a very costly exercise and a never-ending battle.”

Biggest music festival ‘to rock Geelong city’
in brief
BY ERIN PEARSON CENTRAL Geelong will host it’s biggest music festival when awardwinning Australian bands play in the city during April, according to organisers. They announced on Facebook that FESTIVUS For The Rest Of Us! would feature drawcards such as Little Red, Children Collide and The Vasco Era. The event would have potential to draw thousands of patrons into central Geelong from midday to 10.30pm on April 24.
WORK is about to start on redeveloping Eastern Beach’s historic children’s pool, according to Geelong’s council. Acting Mayor Cameron Granger said the pool would close on Monday so the $4.9 million project to fully rebuild the 70-year-old pool could begin.
More than 1500 people had responded to the event’s Facebook page by Wednesday afternoon to confirm they would attend. Organiser Barry Brauer, who has run past events such as Geelong’s 2008 Grazzhopper Festival, said the inner-city festival would feature the “cream of the crop” of Australian independent, rock and electronic artists over a full day. “It’s been a long time coming that Geelong had its very own inner-city music festival,” Mr Brauer posted on Facebook. A character in US television comedy
Seinfeld coined the name Festivus for a new celebration of the festive season minus the commercialisation. Councillor Bruce Harwood, who holds council’s major events portfolio, praised the music festival. “Any event that comes to Geelong has the potential to enhance the economy and I’d certainly encourage events to come into the CBD,” he said. “Any event organised, especially music events that bring a cross section of the community out, is strongly encouraged. “The broader the appeal to the com-
Asbestos closure YOU YANGS Regional Park will remain closed for at least two more weeks after the discovery of asbestos in flood-damaged culverts, authorities have announced.

munity the better the event and this sounds like one of those.” The Facebook page said the 18years-and-over event would also feature bands and performers such as Muscles, Tom Piper, Act Yo Age, Ajax, Red ink, 1 Fish Two Fish vs Malakai, The Human Electric, Mock Turkey, Schmikey vs Full Metal Cardigan, Driveby Epic, Kick It DJ’s, Brendan Yuen, The Happy Endings and DJ Earl. Organisers would announce additional acts closer to the event, Mr Brauer said.
Virus study A HIGH-SECURITY Geelong laboratory has joined an international consortium trying to work out how bird flu and other viruses find their way around human immune systems, according to a CSIRO statement. The Commonwealth body’s Australian Animal Health Laboratory, at Moolap, was one of three laboratories around the world involved in the work to prevent a bird flu pandemic, the statement said.
Rare aircraft A RARE Lockheed Hudson bomber and the world’s oldest operational jet fighter, a Gloster Metor, will feature in a cavalcade of historic aircraft at next month’s Avalon airshow, organisers have announced. They said aircraft museums were sending a range of former military planes to the event to coincide with its 90th anniversary celebration of Royal Australian Air Force.
Contractor sacked GEELONG’S council has “terminated” its contract with a contractor to build Lara Library, according to City Hall. Projects, recreation and central Geelong general manager Dean Frost said the City would seek new contractors to complete the work after the previous contractor repeatedly failed to respond to council inquiries, breaching contractual obligations.
Footy’s back AFL FOOTBALL will return to Geelong this wekend when the Cats take on two teams at Skilled Stadium. Geelong will play Kangaroos and Western Bulldogs in two shortened halves on Sunday afternoon as part of the AFL’s pre-season NAB Cup competition.
City move CITY OF Greater Geelong staff will move into the Brougham Street’s former Australian Tax Office building as part of a plan to consolidate council office space, according to chief executive officer Stephen Griffin. Mr Griffin said the City would move out of premises in Myers and Gheringhap streets to occupy four of the ex-tax office building’s six storeys early next year, creating a “one-stop shop for customer service.”

Golfers to help stranded patients make a splash again WORKPLACE laws are leaving geriatric and spinal injury patients high and dry in Geelong, according to the region’s peak rehabilitation and aged care centre. But McKellar Centre spokesperson Kerry O’Sullivan said the facility’s annual charity golf day could help pay for a specialised machine to lift immobile patients back into the centre’s hydrotherapy pool for treatment. Mr O’Sullivan said occupational health and safety laws meant health workers could no longer lift patients into pools for fear of injury. “The machine we want can carry
them all the way from the change rooms to the hydrotherapy pool and back again with safety and dignity,” he said. “It’s a great thing. It isn’t something that will make money for McKellar Centre but it will fulfil a vital rehabilitation and therapy need in the community.” Mr O’Sullivan said this year’s 16th annual McKellar Centre Charity Golf Day would raise money toward the $75,000 cost of the machinery. AMP Foundation would contribute $1 for every $2 raised on the day, he said.
The golf day, which the Independent has sponsored since the fundraisers inception, has raised almost $350,000 for the centre over the past 15 years. Past golf days have helped pay for diagnostic and therapeutic equipment including the hydrotherapy pool. Mr O’Sullivan said 13th Beach golf course would again host the golf day on April 1, with 30 four-member ambrose teams playing for a variety of prizes. The $150-a-head entry team would pay for the 18 holes of competition and lunch in the 13th Beach clubhouse, he said.
Participants would also be able to bid for items in a charity auction during the afternoon. Mr O’Sullivan called for entries and prospective hole sponsors to phone him on 5279 2222. Independent managing editor Tony Galpin urged businesses and teams to get on board. “The McKellar Centre is critical health infrastructure to the region,” Mr Galpin said. “The players and supporters of the golf day are very likely to one day to either rely on the centre’s services or know someone who does.”

branch president Jennifer Bantow said a 1996 Bellarine Heritage Study included Newcomb but failed reach amendment stage in council’s planning scheme for creating heritage overlays. Mrs Bantow said six other properties in Newcomb had been identified as having heritage significance and were recommended for protection. But she believed the Glover Street house could still have “architectural,
historic or particularly social importance to post-war migration to the immediate neighbourhood”. Mrs Bantow said residents were welcome to research the home to establish why it should be added to the Bellarine Heritage Study list. “It sounds like these people are really more objecting to the development and probably hoping there is a heritage value on the house,” she said.
The protection bid shocked Victoria’s leading lobby group for developers. Urban Development Institute of Australia executive director Tony De Domenico said the objections based on the home’s assumed heritage values had “gone too far”. “What now? Do we preserve the first house in Footscray built by Greeks?” he said.

Should this be ‘saved’? BY ANDREW MATHIESON RESIDENTS are fighting to save a reproduction Dutch-style home at Newcomb from demolition to make way for units, labelling the house an “icon” of the suburb. Their battle has reached the region’s National Trust branch, which plans to investigate whether the house deserves heritage protection. Newcomb’s James Hancock, who is leading the fight to save the house, said it had characteristics of typical post-war Dutch architecture, including a steep, sloping roof and a front dormer window. “You can’t knock down a beautiful house like that,” Mr Hancock said. “We thought the Dutch people who live in Geelong would want to protect that site.” Council said the site developer did not need planning permits for demolition because the Glover Street house had no heritage controls. Mr Hancock said a dozen neighbours had banded together to fight council’s ruling. Plans for four units were on public exhibition for two weeks in November but council only invited objectors to attend a consultation meeting three days before Christmas. “What a ridiculous time to give people notice, with people going away on holidays,” he said.

EPA ‘blitz’ leaves firms facing fines BY KIM WATERS TWO GEELONG companies face $6000 fines after a surprise Enviroment Protection Authority blitz this month, according to an EPA spokesperson. The spokesperson said the companies had committed “clear breaches” of their EPA operating licences. The environmental watchdog was now conducting an investigation “with a view to possible enforcement action”, the spokesperson said. Officers also identified
threats to the environment at two other sites where inadequate containment systems risked spills and run-off contaminating water. “EPA identified two sites with environmental risks which EPA will be following up in addition to the two sites with clear breaches,” the spokeperson said. “Types of enforcement actions vary but it might range from the issue of a notice to, in serious cases, a company fine of almost $6000.”
The spokesperson declined to name the 11 businesses involved in the blitz but said they included landfills, composters, cement works and companies working with chemicals. EPA south west manager Gavan Mathieson said officers used “an element of surprise” during the blitz. “Every site in the south-west (of Victoria) has been notified of our planned operation but won’t necessarily know we’re visiting until we’re on their doorstep,” he said.

Flood safeguard ‘could be drain’ on Corio homes BY ANDREW MATHIESON HOUSEHOLDS in some of Geelong’s poorest suburbs might have to help council pay millions of dollars to safeguard Corio against flooding, a councillor has warned. Andy Richards said he was “unsure” whether council would levy a user-pays charge on ratepayers to upgrade their ageing stormwater system. He said the project was too big for council to fund alone. The project would protect residents against the threat of a one-in-100-year flood, he said. The Kosciusko Avenue main drain catchment services a 1000-hectare area including properties on Hendy Street and Plantation Road to as far as Lovely Banks and parts of Lara. Cr Richards, who holds council’s infrastructure portfolio, said council wanted to “fix it as soon as possible”. “The drain is almost 50 years old and has limited underground drainage capacity and minimal overland flow paths,” he said. The trunk main drain passes through the southwest corner of Corio’s Shell refinery site before an open channel outfall at Corio Bay. Council had investigated a range of potential flood mitigation options as part of the study. Cr Richards said the preferred option involved swelling a Plantation Road retarding basin to maximise storage while building a new outlet and twin pipe drains back to the basin. Council expected the project bill to run into the millions of dollars. Cr Richard said City Hall was seeking further comment on its draft report into upgrading the drainage system, with the public exhibition period closing on Monday. He suggested the “new Liberal State Government” could help pay for the works. “This is such a large piece of infrastructure that I really think the Government should get on board and help fund it.” Council recently backed away from forcing Drysdale residents to pay for drainage works unless they sold or developed their properties.

BY ERIN PEARSON RICHARD Beechey was just 35 when he died after a seven-month battle with gastric cancer, leaving behind a wife and two young children at Bannockburn. Eight months later his family is banding together with a Relay For Life team to raise awareness of the cancer that claimed his life. Richard’s widow, Tonya Beechey, joined his mother for the fundraiser last year when they walked in hope he would recover. This year they will walk in his honour. “It was really inspiring to meet other people going through the same thing last year. At the time Richard had only just been diagnosed,” Ms Beechey said. “Cancer’s just one of those things you hear about but you never think it’s going to happen to you, but for us it did.” Ms Beechey said gastric cancer commonly afflicted men aged over 50. “It’s not a pin-up cancer like breast, prostate, skin or bowl cancer,” she said. “Death at any age is horrible but gastric cancer has no symptoms, no warning signs.” Ms Beechey said her seven-yearold son, Owen, and daughter Aayla, 2, would join the walk this year to remember their father. “It’s been really great as a fami-

‘Early finish’ to fire season BY ERIN PEARSON FIRE restrictions could ease across the region as early as next week after the safest bushfire season in 20 years, according to a CFA operations manager. Gerry Verdoorn said the CFA was considering ending restrictions two months early after "the most unusual" season. The end of the fire season would allow property owners to resume burning waste and plant materials again without CFA permits. Mr Verdoorn said this summer's bushfire season was so strange that CFA members had spent much of the past month fighting floods instead of fires. "It's good for our people to have a quieter year and a chance to draw breath. We've had a number of years that have been exceptionally dry requiring a lot of work and activity." Mr Verdoorn said the

green, cutting back our level of risk." Department of Sustainability and Environment announced this week it hoped to begin its autumn burn-offs this week with almost two weeks of summer left to go. The initial 21-hectare burns would be around Lorne and Stoney Creek. Otway district land and fire manager Andrew Morrow said the department was waiting for a final check of ground and weather conditions before starting the burns. "If the burns go ahead fire crews will patrol both areas on Thursday and Friday. We've had a lot of rain over the recent months and this will make it hard to do some of our planned burns," he said. "Some areas are simply too wet to burn at the moment."
Geelong region's fire risk had fallen in February to allow a decision on ending the season early. "At the moment we're looking at lifting fire restrictions because the conditions are so lush and green. Even back in December it was the first time in around 18 to 20 years where we didn't have fire restrictions in before Christmas. "It’s been quite extraordinary and looking like our shortest fire season in a very long time." The Independent reported in November the CFA was warning townships around Geelong to brace for their first grassfire threats in "more than a decade" after drought-breaking rain. But soaking summer rain had instead covered the region in lush, green grass, Mr Verdoorn said. "While rains over winter saw a lot of green grass start to die out and cause risk, extended follow-up rain kept the grass

GEELONG MULTI SPORT FESTIVAL 18 – 20 FEBRUARY 2011
The draft Lake Lorne Master Plan will be on public exhibition until Friday 18 March 2011.
Emergency access will be available at all times.
Being held along the Waterfront from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 February 2011, the Geelong Multi Sport Festival will feature a wide range of sports and activities that cater for all levels of ability and ages. Central Geelong and the Waterfront can be accessed at all times during the event. The road closures will be restricted to only those few roads being used for the event courses. All other roads will operate as normal and all areas are accessible for pedestrians. Any changes to your normal route of travel along the Waterfront will be clearly signposted and provide short detours around the closures. Normal visitation to the Central Geelong shopping and business precincts is encouraged. This is a major sporting event for Geelong and one that the City of Greater Geelong proudly supports. It is essential that the event is conducted in a safe manner, and therefore, Victoria Police, Vic Roads and the City of Greater Geelong have approved GO Traffic to temporarily change traffic conditions (this includes road closures and changed parking conditions). The roads where temporary changed traffic conditions will apply are in the vicinity of the Waterfront, between Eastern Park and Rippleside Park, from Friday 18 February until Sunday 20 February. The triathlon event being held on Sunday 20 February travels to Curlewis via the Geelong Portarlington Road, therefore, the closure of this road will affect East Geelong, Moolap, Newcombe and Leopold on this day.

DRAFT LEOPOLD TOWNSHIP, RETAIL AND RECREATION PLANS DRAFT LEOPOLD STRUCTURE PLAN 2010 The City’s Planning Strategy unit have reviewed the 2006 Leopold Structure Plan and updated it to produce the draft 2010 Leopold Structure Plan. The draft 2010 Structure Plan updates population and lot supply data, policy and strategy information, retail, community and recreation needs and growth opportunities.

The plans were developed with input from key stakeholders and user groups and include: RETAIL - URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK The draft Urban Design Framework considers how the existing Gateway Plaza shopping centre could expand over time to serve as a sub-regional retail centre for the Bellarine Peninsula. This would see the retail/commercial floorspace expand from approximately 5,000sqm to potentially over 35,000sqm. Two draft concepts have been developed showing how the existing centre might expand to the north or the west. The concepts include design principles and strategies. RECREATION – MASTER PLAN Two draft concepts of how the Memorial Park recreation reserve could be enhanced to better meet the needs of existing user groups and projected future demands have been developed.

“Not many have intimate knowledge that there are actually 10 candidates running – you wouldn’t know that unless you were interested in the election. “They put a fair amount of time and effort into it. They went around the ward and did this to my signs yet left other signs.” Mr Nelson said thieves had taken two other posters last Friday. He was concerned about one of his supporters who erected a howto-vote sign in her yard that was later vandalised. Mr Nelson feared that the elderly Highton woman would be unable to sleep knowing the vandals had trespassed over a fence and onto her property. “It was a pretty brazen act,” he said.
“They’ve climbed into the home of friends of mine. It’s not nice when you’re sleeping in bed and people are in your front yard. “Certainly that’s quite disturbing and shocking.” Mr Nelson is one of 10 candidates for Deakin ward, which former councillor Andrew Katos vacated when he won the state seat of South Barwon for the Liberals at November’s election. Other candidates are tradesman Craig Whimpress, criminology student Cassandra Syddall, nurse Amber Jeffreys, Deakin University students housing officer Kimberley Young, business owners Phil Baulch, Angelo Kakouros and Rick Westgarth, lawyer David O’Brien and real estate agent Matt Podvinsek.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON A GEELONG by-election candidate has called in police after a “brazen act” of vandalism against six of his eight how-to-vote posters. Ron Nelson said vandals tore away the numeral one from his signs’ how-to-vote boxes and replaced it with 10 – the last preference in the Deakin ward byelection. Mr Nelson, who is number one on the ballot card order, believed he was a victim of political “sabotage”. He reported the overnight incidents to police on Tuesday. Mr Nelson said police had taken the inserts from the signs to test them for fingerprints. The culprits clearly understood the by-election process, he said.

Backing for club over â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;feral girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY ERIN PEARSON A GEELONG nightclubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directive for â&#x20AC;&#x153;feral girlsâ&#x20AC;? to stay away has earned the backing of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightlife association president. Darren Holroyd said Room 99â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order reflected increasing violence among young women at
licensed venues in central Geelong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of nightlife association is already taking action with ban lists in conjunction with police and even the courts, which are imposing six and 12-month CBD bans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All this is what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted
for a long time.â&#x20AC;? The Independent reported earlier this month that Room 99 would ban â&#x20AC;&#x153;feral girlsâ&#x20AC;? for six months after a spate of violent incidents. Director Ines Perovic said a particularly large brawl at the venue on the eve of Australia Day was the final straw.
Ultimate challenge: Daniel Brehaut, Lyndon Betts and Matt Dempsey.

Ms Bate anticipated frantic competition as the cream of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchens tried to create the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultimate dishâ&#x20AC;? in just 10 minutes. Ms Bate said celebrity chef Gabriel Gate would add extra spice to the competition as part of his role hosting the third annual festival on March 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabriel is a regular at our festival and is a crowd favourite..â&#x20AC;? Ms Bate said the festival would feature 70 exhibitors serv-
ing some of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest food and wine against a background of live music and free family activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people bring along a picnic blanket, gather delicious goodies from the exhibitors and enjoy a leisurely lunch on the lawns of Pirra Homestead.â&#x20AC;?

BY KIM WATERS A NEW report reveals how Geelong is short-changing cyclists on infrastructure, according to a bicycle safety body. Bike Safe Geelong president Barton Van Laar said the Bicycle Victoria report on municipal funding â&#x20AC;&#x153;reflects poorlyâ&#x20AC;? on the city. The reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis of 50 municipalitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; infrastructure expenditure found that 42 spent more per capita than Geelong, Mr Van Laar said. The report recommended that councils spend $5 per resident on bike-related infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of councils are spending over $10 per capita but City of Greater Geelong spent $1.98,â&#x20AC;? Mr Van Laar said
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report states the Greater Geelong city council has considerable room for improvement before its investment in bike infrastructure can approach the recommended levels.â&#x20AC;? Mr Van Laar told the Independent earlier this month that Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling infrastructure was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sadly neglectedâ&#x20AC;?. He issued his funding call following a series of cyclist deaths in collisions with vehicles on Geelong roads during the past few years. Councillor Andy Richards, who holds councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transport and infrastructure portfolio, said he wanted to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;up-frontâ&#x20AC;? about the funding shortfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling infrastruc-
ture does need to improve,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we are working with Barton Van Laarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group to improve things.â&#x20AC;? Cr Richards said â&#x20AC;&#x153;many reasonsâ&#x20AC;? were behind the apparent shortfall in Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending on cycling infrastructure compared to other councils. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some councils have quite a small area and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to put in a few things to improve cycling safety quite quickly but the City of Greater Geelong covers a vast area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost for making my own council ward cycle safe would probably be greater than for some inner-city councils to do their whole council area.â&#x20AC;?

Our furry friends Local Legends WHEN Ann and Natasha Clark switched livestock on their property from horses to alpacas the last thing on their minds were the sniggers from the other side of the fence. As Victorian pioneers of alpaca breeders in 1990, the Bellbrae mother and daughter were still coming to terms with domesticating the animal that resembled a cross between a sheep and a camel. “The worst thing was trying to find shearers in those days because nobody knew how to shear them,” Ann confesses. “Sheep shearers didn’t know how to tackle alpacas but there were a few who worked out some good ways because you can’t sit a great, big, longneck, long-legged thing up like a sheep. “We found out we had to tie them down.” While alpacas stroll the mountains of Peru, Equador and Bolivia are just a part of scenery, they live on few Australian farms. Most are confused with llamas, which are larger pack and meat animals from the same camelid family. No one else would know the difference better than Natasha when in 2004 she travelled to Peru for her Australian international alpaca judge qualification. “My eyes were popping out of my head,” Natasha says. “Alpacas were just walking the paddocks and mountains everywhere.” Alpacas have historically been bred for their abundance of soft, lustrous fleece. But the Clarks have done well running their property, Kurrawa, as a stud. The one-time “weekend farmers” surrendered a property full of horses and ponies in Melbourne’s far east for more than 52 empty hectares on the Surf Coast. Ann’s family had bred horses over several generations until husband Bob instigated the alpaca sea change. “Bob wanted something he could relate to rather than horses that he wasn’t too keen on,” Ann recalls.

Packing ‘em in: Natasha Clark with one of her Surf Coast property’s 500 alpaca’s. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 60130 “We looked into all sorts of livestock, including ostriches, which he thought looked all right. I said that was okay for him but we’d be home to look after them and I didn’t fancy looking eyeball to kneecap with some bird.” Bob then discovered Geelong’s first but littleknown alpaca stud in a magazine. “We’d never seen alpacas before then and we just loved them,” Ann says. Two decades later they have a herd of 500. Ann points to a photo of an alpaca taking pride of place in the family lounge. Tariq, the stud’s 2009 and only national supreme champion, was the chosen one. “We picked him out at two days old,” Ann says. “We saw him and were like ‘Wow, just look at him’. He was just an absolute standout.” As breeders, the Clarks have had champions in every age and category. But even champions have limits. For their best 14 alpacas, a trip stuck in a van and horse floats to Tamworth for last year’s national show was memorable for the wrong reasons. “What a trip,” Ann grins. “It took us two long days to get there. “We had to stop and get carpet because they kept weeing all over the floor after we packed in shredded paper.”

letters A bucket deserved for abuse I WAS disgusted when I read a contribution to the Independent’s Buckets and Bouquets last week about a man openly making fun of two disabled girls. What right did he have to make fun of them? None. Can they help being disabled? No, they cannot. Anybody who thinks it’s funny or cool to make fun of physically or mentally disabled people has a very warped sense of humour indeed. Having an autistic sister, I thought about how I would have felt if this

F1 folly
poor excuse for a man had made fun of her. I would have let him have it. I have a question for him: how would you feel if you were in an accident and ended up disabled and someone made fun of you for something you couldn’t help? Next time he should take a moment to think before saying what’s on his mind. Karma has a funny way of replying to our actions. What goes around comes around. Suzanne Bridson Herne Hill

A RECENT headline said Geelong Mayor Mitchell was pushing for an F1 car race in Geelong. Did he mean that bottomless expenditure pit that has set Victoria back by more than $300 million over recent years? How do ratepayers, deprived of adequate local infrastructure spending for many years, feel about this or won’t we be consulted? Does Cr Mitchell mean the car race currently held annually at a non-dedicated circuit at Albert Park in the municipal area known as City of Port Phillip? At great cost to set-up and pull down every year, which also denies the public free access to sports clubs for months? City of Port Phillip Mayor Rachel Powning says the event’s economic and environmental impacts are “staggering”. How about Cr Mitchell instead consider doing something worthwhile for ratepayers of the fast-growing but funds-starved Bellarine Peninsula or do we exist simply to provide funds for council to spend elsewhere? What about pushing for the building of the Drysdale bypass road? What about upgrading Murradoc Road? What about pushing for the Portarlington safe harbour project before the local pier collapses completely? Portarlington is constantly touted as a venue for cycling events and the producer of famous Portarlington mussels but the mussel farmers are crying out for this project to get under way. Cr Mitchell, what about sticking up for your constituents or do you prefer to assist Ron Walker in getting his extravagant wish for some pleasant background pictures of Corio Bay on the telly? Peter Cowden Bellarine
CBD too big TED BAILLIEU’S coalition, if fair dinkum, needs to appoint an administrator to head-up any resurgence of Geelong’s CBD. An administrator along the lines of a refined version of Geelong Regional Planning Commission would accelerate heritage and convention centre projects and
provide Deakin University – the foundation to turning around the CBD - with an unencumbered pathway. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos is correct to acknowledge the Kennett Government’s waterfront legacy. Benevolent dictators have their place. An administrator would avoid council political jousting and tardiness. The inability of City of Greater Geelong to sign off on a meager $150,000 for vision two highlights the need on multi-million-dollar projects for there to be a streamlined, independent government local authority. Municipal councils are best left to administering waste collection etcetera. Councils are not entrepreneurs, nor do they have source to state and federal funds. While the City, G21, Geelong Chamber of Commerce and Committee for Geelong obviously have roles to play in the CBD’s upgrade, left to their own devices and their pervading protective culture, bordering on a mutual admiration society, means little will happen promptly. Skilled Stadium’s white-elephant status is an example of that collective inertia It’s time for the coalition and particularly Planning Minister Matthew Guy to bite the bullet and appoint an administrator to see the CBD’s projects through to completion.

Weird science IT WAS good to see the debate over global warming/climate change was still raging in last week’s Independent. Severe weather recently experienced in Australia and many other parts of the world is part of natural changes in weather patterns and climatic conditions. Increases in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere play a negligible part, if any, in changes in climate. The weather events have been fuel for the man-made global warming brigade, citing them as proof humans are influencing the climate and causing weather catastrophes. Some even suggest coal miners should pay compensation for flood and fire damage without evidence that fossil fuels are at fault. An interesting article appeared in the February 10 Wall Street Journal quoting
atmospheric scientist Gilbert Compo and climate researcher Rodger Pielke Jr stating there is no evidence of more extreme or frequent weather patterns dating back to 1871. Other qualified contributors to science journals can find no link to climate change and the burning of fossil fuels. This is rapidly becoming the consensus among scientists in the climate and atmospheric disciplines. Leigh Adamson last week in the Independent chastised Alan Barron for speaking about climate change science without scientific qualifications. In that case we have to tell Tim Flannery, Nicholas Stern, Al Gore, Ross Garnaut and most of the university academics to pull their heads in as well. Just for the record, recent floods and fires have not been records. We have had larger events in this country – check our history. Russell Williams Newtown
Climate hoopla THE DECISION by Labor to proceed with a carbon tax followed by an ETS means Julia Gillard is rolling the dice on her political career. To help with the huge task of convincing us we need this big, new tax to save the planet, she has appointed global warming propagandist Tim Flannery to chair her climate commission. As we know, Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels understood that no manner how big the lie, if it was said often and loud enough people would believe it. The political left has taken that propaganda theory to a whole new level with its global warming booga-booga hoopla. It’s time for people to wake up and stand up before we are taxed into Third World poverty. Brian Handley Geelong

Think global, vote local to deal with oil crisis GEELONG’S Deakin ward by-election coincides with a perfect storm of global events and pressures, such as the peaking of world oil production. Global production of crude oil has been flat since 2005. Most of the world’s large oilfields are now in decline. Every year since 1930 crude oil has been around US $20 a barrel, except for a spike in 1973 and again in 2008. It’s now around US $90 and over US $100 for Brent crude. Unrest in Egypt has added about US $2 a barrel but the rest of the increase reflects growing demand and declining supply. Forecasts of looming global oil shortages have also been given by a range of authorities including the US and German defence departments, Sir Richard Branson, Lloyd’s of London, Goldman Sachs and even Macquarie Bank.
Peaking: Phil Baulch
Dr Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA), recently said “the world needs to find the equivalent of six Saudi Arabias if it is to keep up with the expected increase in demand between now and 2030”. The price of oil affects almost every aspect of our modern lives, particularly food. Local government has a responsibility to assess the impact of rising fuel, food and energy prices and to use its planning powers to create the conditions for communities to not just survive peak oil but to thrive. We can have a planned low-energy future or a chaotic one. We can start by making different choices about who represents us on council. Phil Baulch Deakin ward candidate
Filthy priorities

THERE is some rightful hysteria evident regarding the possibility of asbestos contamination for visitors to the You Yangs. There seems a good deal less concern regarding the horribly polluted atmosphere of Geelong. Something like 600,000 tonnes of fluoride are pumped into the atmosphere of Geelong each year and, regardless of whether you want it in your water or not, the fact that this substance is an Schedule 7class poison must surely be of concern to all. There is huge concern over carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a gas that will do no one any harm and will actually makes plants grow like crazy the more they get. Is there some sort of bizarre mix-up of priorities where we can avoid sources of asbestos contamination but cannot avoid the filth in the air we breathe? Gary Oraniuk Geelong
MY BEST wishes to Meredith’s Mary Nolan on becoming a Member of the Order of Australia for service to people with acquired brain injuries. In 1996 Mary’s and husband John’s son, Chris, a 28-year-old lawyer working in Hanoi, suffered a severe brain injury that left him unable to move, speak or see. On returning to Australia Chris was placed in an aged-care facility. The facility provided clinical care but was unable to provide him with appropriate social stimulation and emotional support. Mary’s fight to improve her son’s care has been both inspiring and unparalleled. For the past 15 years she has been a leading voice advocating the accommodation rights of young people with severe disabilities. Her contribution has resulted in many tangible improvements. Mary formed the What Does Chris Want action group to address ways to improve Chris’s quality of life. The approach devel-
Sell your car, bike or boat for just...
oped is now available to other young people in similar situations. Her work has resulted in the Council of Australian Governments allocating $244 million to address accommodation issues for young people in need of full-time care. Part of that funding resulted in the construction of a 10-person accommodation facility for young people with severe injuries in Victoria. Much more still needs to be done for young people with acquired brain injuries. I congratulate Mary for her selfless dedication on behalf of Chris. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

Fired up over neighbouring hazard DUE TO heavy rain creating much more grass the region will face a high fire risk in the next month or two. Surf Coast Shire should be on it toes making ratepayers’ property safe. However, the repeated requests for the shire to clean up an area adjoining its property have been a waste of time. Shire chief executive officer Mark Davies wrote to me saying the existing vegetation did not create any fire risk. It’s far worse now. The area involves a green, or brown, section behind my place that has not been touched since
planting about 40 years ago. Trees, grass etcetera have died or have much dead growth on them apart, from in a section at the western end of the area. Under this mess and adjacent to the shire buildings are four SES training vehicles, which would still have petrol in them. As someone who has had property destroyed by wildfire, I am disgusted at the shire’s lack of action on this very real fire hazard. Cliff Winkler Torquay

Out of the garage, onto radio BY ERIN PEARSON THE LAST six months has been an overwhelming experience for Melbourne garage rock group British India, according to Declan Melia. The lead singer and guitarist said he had only just returned with his bandmates, who were also high school friends, after their whirlwind overseas debut. Life was treating the group “really well”, Melia said. “We spent a few months at the end of last year in the UK, which was beyond all expectations. It was exhausting. “We did 25 shows in 30 days. Life’s hard over there.” British India emerged from Melbourne’s independent music scene in July, 2007, with debut album Guillotine. As album tracks Black & White Radio, Tie Up My Hands, Run The Red Light and Russian Roulette became air-punching anthems at venues and festivals across the country, British India developed a hardearned reputation for explosive live shows. The year culminated with the group taking out a 2007 ARIA Award for Best New Independent Artist. A year later British India released its second album, Thieves, which debuted at number five on the ARIA Top 10. The band has since smashed its
way through sell-out tours and festivals ranging from Big Day Out to Homebake and Splendour in the Grass. Melia said radio was paramount to the band’s success. “I’ve noticed here in Australia that having a song on the radio is what makes you a band. We played around Melbourne for three years and nothing really caught,” he said. “When we first started to make a name for ourselves we were a travelling freak show because we were so young but we had to evolve or perish. “We had our diehard circle but couldn’t tour. The radio is every musician’s bible.” Melia said British India had made many mistakes along the way but had “grown enormously” over the years. Fans could expect a Geelong show and set list “more different than ever before”. “We were quite cagey about playing new songs before their release because we worry about losing intensity, but we’ve now opened our minds to that,” Melia said. “We’re certainly not cocktail music - we still have those moments of blinding punk intensity. “We’re confident enough in our ability to play with things we didn’t do before.” British India plays at Geelong’s Bended Elbow hotel on March 25.
Get this India: British India is back on home soil after an “exhausting” tour overseas.

Pako Festa 2011
Saturday, February 26; 9am-6pm, Pakington Street, Geelong West
New faces, same welcome to festa very year Pako Festa seems to get bigger and bigger and this year is no exception. I am delighted to be welcoming some of our most recently arrived communities to Pako Festa 2011, including members of the Sikh, Sri Lankan and Afghani communities. I also welcome the Karenni community as well as the Karen who, for the first time, will serve their traditional cuisine. These two communities have begun arriving in Geelong from refugee camps along the Thai/Burmese border where they have been living for up to 20 years. Finally, we say hello to people from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Seventeen families have escaped the devastation of war in this country and resettled in Geelong since August.

The Beat of Pako
THE PULSE of Pako Festa begins with the shiver of maracas and the flutter of a rhumba and we welcome our leading lady, Carmen Miranda! From the moment she appears, a tantalizing tempo starts to infect the street.
It's in Drum Out, with its hundreds of drummers setting the pace for the great Pako Festa Parade. It's in the clatter of the clog dancers, the blast of the bagpipes and the pure power of the African percussion. You can hear it in the beat of
the Japanese Taiko and the ancient drumming of the Indian Dohl. It's all around you, everywhere, you can't avoid it's rhyme or rhythm. It's the sound of the heart of our fabulous Festa, it's The Beat of Pako.

From Huts to Hub
Building a new home for multicultural Geelong
For thousands of new Australians the old Nissan huts at the Norlane Migrant Hostel were their first home in a new country. Some stayed for only a few weeks, others for up to five years. They formed close friendships and their children grew up playing together. Even today, they recall the excitement when the bus stopped outside the Hostel and new migrants arrived. Today the Nissan Huts are gone, but a new complex has just opened on the same site to act as a welcoming centre for new arrivals to Geelong and a meeting point for more established cultural and community groups. The Northern Community Hub is the latest project of Diversitat, a not-for profit organization providing community services in Geelong since 1976. As the leading provider of multicultural services in the Barwon region, Diversitat is well placed to create and manage this exciting new facility.
The Hub consists of six training/ activity rooms, a computer lab, boardroom, a commercial style kitchen and office space to house thirty staff. It is home to an impressive community garden where different groups are growing all sorts of vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers. In the coming year there are plans to put in an orchard. In addition, the Geelong Community Shed
“It’s a massive project… we are already looking at ways to expand the Hub in the future” is being built on the site for the use of gardeners groups, women’s craft groups and community workshops. “It’s a massive project that’s been in the pipeline for over ten years” said Ms Carey. “And it doesn’t end here. We are already looking at ways to develop the Hub in the future so it becomes even more of a centre for all people in the northern suburbs. We want other cultural communities, schools, community groups, businesses, everyone really, to
Memories of Norlane Hostel Story by Elke Harrison (nee Neumann) We arrived in Australia on 10th January 1954 on the Fairsea. As a family with six children, a full hut was allocated to us so unlike a lot of other families, who shared huts, half split down the middle, we thought ourselves extremely fortunate in that the only noise we had to put up with was of our own creation. The six kids ranged in age from 18 years to 18 months. I am in awe of my parents, their bravery in packing up six kids and with next to nothing in the way of worldly goods and certainly little to no money they set off to a land of which they knew so little and a language they didn’t know at all. We were also fortunate in that my mother was very progressive for her age and insisted that we speak only English to them as we learnt it in order for them to pick up language skills from us and also English language lessons that were available to people who wanted them. Most of my early 30

feel welcome to visit the site and make use of the space and gardens. Anyone interested can phone the Hub during business hours to make arrangements, we’d love to hear from them.” The project was funded by the Dept of Regional Australia - Regional Development and Local Government, Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Victorian Multicultural Commission and City of Greater Geelong.

friends who were also German spoke nothing but German at home and had to go to Saturday school to be given further lessons in the German language. Mum was very adamant that this was our new life and we would embrace it whole heartedly as there was no going back. Both parents felt that we as children would have a far better chance of making something of ourselves and getting a better education and far easier life than either one of them had experienced. As migrant factory fodder they were certainly still not going to get an easier life out here but they accepted that and made the most of every and any opportunity their new country offered. The really good thing about the hostel was having friends to play with all the time and it was always a race to the bottom bus arrival area when new migrants arrived to see how many new kids were amongst them. I considered myself very fortunate, you knew when meal times were and only had to present yourself to the dining hall, line up and get fed. The recreation hall was always put to good use, there was a wonderful library
area set aside, play facilities, regular dances held on a Saturday night and a wonderful Christmas party at the end of each year for all kids - food, Santa and a gift.

“Migrants and refugees coming to Geelong might need help with anything from finding a house to enrolling the children in school. We have a whole range of services out there to help them settle”, explained Bridgette Carey, Project Manager. “They might have a Learners Permit but need help clocking up the hours to get a full Driver’s Licence, we have a project to help with that. Their children might be struggling with homework, we can help with that too. Or maybe they just need a friend to show them the ropes – that’s something our new arrivals can find at the Hub. We have our volunteers to thank for that. Geelong people, in general, are very welcoming to newcomers. They understand the difficulties of settling in a new country and are so generous with their time and friendship.”

Pako Festa 2011
Saturday, February 26; 9am-6pm, Pakington Street, Geelong West
World of cultures on Pako his year’s Pako Festa will demonstrate the changing face of cultural diversity in Geelong. With numerous ethnic groups always represented at the festa, two communities will reflect the tradition and ongoing expansion of international cultures in the Geelong region. Members of festa stalwart the Macedonian community will join relative newcomers from Burma’s Karen society to add their colour and style to the event. Folk dancing group Biser will represent Geelong’s Macedonian community in a range of colourful regional costumes. The apparel differs significantly in colour, design and accessories between the various regions of Macedonia represented in the Biser presentation. The dancers’ costumes were worn for ceremonial or festive occasions, with traditional Macedonian day-to-day wear much plainer. The traditional colours of the costumes are red, yellow and black, with most of the regional oufits including a combination of tones. Biser has provided opportunities for young Australians of Macedonian background to get together, socialise, maintain folk-dancing traditions and express themselves through newly choreographed routines for over 20 years. Biser caters for anyone interested in dancing and aged from five years upward. Biser’s junior group will perform on Pako Festa’s Westpac Diversity Stage at 2.35pm. The senior group will appear on the same stage at 2.05pm. Representative of Geelong’s Karen community will perform their culture’s traditional Don dance. A spokesperson for the community says the Karen culture has an emphasis on love and tolerance. “All Karen people come with unity and celebrate the new year, helping each other, encouraging one another. No fighting, love one another. “Everyone is equal, no one is divided by religion. One day we’ll be known as the unity nation, working with unity until our dreams come true.” The Karen youth slogan also reflects the unity and purpose of the community: ‘We are the Karen young people We will work with unity in this generation Our forefather has given us a big duty to do Even though we lie in different places We all are the ancestor of Tawmepa (Karen leader in the past) To get freedom is our responsibility And also the suffering of our Karen people is our responsibility. We will try our best and uphold our cultures To be free is our Karen young people’s slogan today.’ The Karen group performs on Pako Festa’s West Park Stage at 3.05pm.
T
Above: Macedonian folk dancing group Biser will ensure their community is again represented at Pako Festa, with the troupe’s junior and senior groups taking separately to the Westpac Stage to entertain onlookers.
Left: Members of Geelong’s Karen community will perform traditional dance in the costumes of their homeland after joining in the celebrations of Pako Festa over the past couple of years.

Festa. Initially developed for St Kilda Festival in 1994, Drum Out! eventually became the festival’s biggest and most successful community theatre event. The fun-filled St Kilda activity now has about 3000 participants a year. With a samba sound that onlookers will be drawn to clap along with, Drum Out! will help spread the festa theme throughout the crowd. Heading the great Pako Parade at 10.45am, about 300 participants from various community groups, primary and secondary schools will star in the Drum Out! extravaganza.

BY ERIN PEARSON ROCK ‘n’ roll theatre is set to feature at Apollo Bay Music Festival in April with an impressive quartet of Aussie rockers. Promoters said the Ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll Jam Session would tell the story of a day in 1956 when four of America’s top recording artists – Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins – met and changed the face of popular music. Sun Records boss Sam Phillips thought to switch on the recording equipment as the legends jammed together. The result was some chart-topping hits. The Ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll Jam Session show features Australian James Blundell, Nick Barker, Dave Larkin and Ezra Lee performing the music created on the fateful day. The songs include Ghost Riders in the Sky, Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Great Balls of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues and See You later, Alligator. Barker said the four pub-rockers in the Jam Session had “learnt a lot” about ‘50s rock music since the show begun in July. “The day of this impromptu jam session was an incredible day - these guys were at the height of their powers,” he said. “Rock ‘n’ roll started from such a small pocket of people. It’s really amazing how many great songs grew (from them).” Barker said the group’s head-butting egos would keep audiences on their toes. “I’m pretty confident the people of Apollo Bay will be very open to what we’re doing. We’ve shortened the show slightly for the festival to make it a bit snappier. “All you’ve really got to do is sit down and the rest is up to us.” The Ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll Jam Session was created by the team who brought audiences Helpmann Award winning concert The Man in Black – The Johnny Cash Story. The Apollo Bay Music Festival program also includes Zeptepi, The Wildes, The Ugly Uncles, Tango Mundo, Stonefield, Trailer Trash and Angie Hart. Apollo Bay Music Festival runs from April 8 to 10.

Place the flour in a medium bowl. Use your fingertips to rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, place the flour & butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk. Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix together until just combined. (It is important not to overwork the mixture as this will result in chewy dumplings.) Drop method: Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Use a teaspoon to scoop equal quantities of the dumpling mixture onto the lined tray (use a second teaspoon to carefully release the dumpling mixture from the first spoon). Cutting method: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands, by pressing and then turning, about 4-5 times or until the dough is just smooth. Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand until it is about 1.5cm thick. Use a 3cm-diameter round pastry cutter dipped in flour to cut out 20 dumplings. Place the cooking liquid in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower dumplings into the hot stock or water and cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of a dumpling comes out clean. Serve the dumplings in soups or casseroles, or for dessert drizzled with butterscotch sauce or golden syrup and cream. H Lang of East Geelong

Origin HR tapping into training opportunities great opportunity for local businesses and individuals is available with a new training company called Origin HR Victoria opening in Torquay. There has never been a better opportunity to have staff trained in regional Victoria than now. Federal funding has been available for years to provide businesses with the opportunity to have staff complete a nationally recognised qualification but the benefits to businesses in Victoria have become much greater with the introduction of state funding. Implemented this year, Victorian Training Guarantee makes vocational education and training available to individuals to undertake their first qualification or to gain a higher level qualification than they already hold. The great benefit to businesses in Geelong and regional Victoria is that an employee can be eligible for dual funding. Staff can undertake a qualification that will cost the business an enrolment fee of $187.5 for a certificate and $375 for a diploma but will be able to keep $4000 funding for each eligible employee. This is a wonderful opportunity for all businesses in regional Victoria to up-skill staff with funding provided by the Victorian Government while retaining up to $4000. Just as exciting, first-time individuals can access the funding on their own without the support of an employer. For people looking for work it’s a great chance to begin a qualification at a fraction of the usual cost, improving their chances of gaining employment. Students undertaking a university

Lutheran pathway to higher learning eelong’s two Lutheran schools provide a Christian education program valued highly by students, parents, staff and congregations. Newtown’s St Johns Lutheran School, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, has built a reputation for providing primary age students with a model of Christian values, wonderful learning opportunities and the skills to equip them as life-long learners. The secondary schools into which St Johns’ students move appreciate their educational standards, work ethics and behaviour. The latest building upgrades and ground developments have enabled St Johns to provide the best facilities for its young students. Few primary schools can boast a fully-equipped and staffed science lab as well as music, physical education, a library, visual arts and pastoral care specialists. With a large number of year six students leaving in 2010, St Johns still has some vacancies in year two and up. Geelong Lutheran College grew out of a desire to provide a secondary education for St Johns students but also to provide a full prep-to-year-12 Christian education for communities in the city’s south and on the Surf Coast. Now in its third year of operation, the college has 163 students

Gordon’s class act in training ith The Gordon’s hairdressing department continuing to win multiple state and national awards, it’s no surprise it forms part of the organisation titled Victorian Training Provider of the Year for 2010. The department’s latest achievement in upholding this title is receiving international certification, IPSN, meaning teachers and students are trained to work all over the world. The Gordon was one of the first educational institutions in Australia to hold this certification. The Gordon provides students with not only an education and experience but a memorable journey. In March hairdressing and beauty therapy students are being given the opportunity to embark on a twoweek international study tour to Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. The tour will feature the American Beauty Show, Universal Studios, Broadway, famous salons and technical centres. The tour aims to showcase all the opportunities and career potential there is in the hairdressing and beauty industries. For anyone with experience in the hair, beauty, retail or floristry industries but without formal qualification, The Gordon provides skills assessment and gap training to fit in with their workplace needs and recognition of prior learning (RPL). This means experience, skills and knowledge can be turned into a recognised qualification. In some cases, students’ competencies could be found to be the equivalent of a whole qualification. The Gordon recently supported retailers in Westfield Geelong, taking over 40 staff registrations for retail RPL.
W
The Gordon can help students develop careers in all sorts of industries, like floristry. Staff are keen to advance and/or develop further skills and training in key areas such as business, customer service, advertising and store displays. Studying retail can help not only people already in the workforce but anyone seeking a career in the industry. Retail is a competitive and growing industry, so it’s becoming increasingly important that job seekers are equipped with essential skills to meet retailers’ criteria for employment. Contact details and available courses are included in The Gordon’s advertisement in this feature.
tudying at Australian Academy of Design is different. As soon as students enter the academy they can sense the high level of creative energy. They get the impression it is a friendly place; that the staff are approachable and the students are happy. Part of this is due to the size of the campus. Based in Port Melbourne, the campus has less than 300 students. With class sizes kept to 16 or less, students are most definitely a name, not a number. The academy encourages individuality among students and does not impose a strict school style. The academy offers the unique Bachelor of Design Arts Degree offering majors in advertising, fashion design, graphic design, photo media and visual arts. This enables students with various professional interests to work together and establish a network beneficial to their eventual careers. The course challenges students to find their own design style while at the same time being informed by the basic elements of design that have gone before them. Students at the academy generally find the transition from secondary school to tertiary education is easier than at a larger university. Students usually study with the same classmates for the duration, building strong bonds within an already supportive environment.

St Joseph’s creating leaders ince 1935 St Joseph’s College has educated young men in the spirit of Edmund Rice. Motivated by a strong sense of social justice, Edmund Rice committed himself to serving others. Staff and students of St Joseph’s College have a duty and responsibility to serve both local and international communities by working to assist those less fortunate than themselves. St Joseph’s College encourages everyone to become a leader in their own right. The college considers that the role of the leadership team and the staff is to model and instil in students behaviour and attitudes expected of community leaders. The words compassion, innovation and integrity, which sit alongside St Joseph’s crest, sum up the qualities people come to expect of the college’s students; compassion for the less-fortunate, innovation and forward-looking in their thinking and integrity. Leadership at St Joseph’s College is not just left to a few, it is a responsibility shared by all.

Geelong High School is now into its second 100 years as the oldest co-educational State Secondary School in Geelong, with a reputation for innovative, comprehensive educational programs for all students and is “The School of Choice” for many parents. The personalising of course selection through an Individual Learning Pathways program and the continued development of a year seven integrated curriculum, along with a full range of VCE subjects, VCAL, VET and School Based Apprenticeships has strengthened connections between the students and the school. Our curriculum is supported by a comprehensive House and Home Group program that ensures no student feels anonymous at Geelong High School and that key staff have contact with them throughout their schooling. The school has made a significant financial commitment to upgrade its IT capacity and is constantly reviewing curriculum to ensure staff and students are skilled and prepared for today’s 21st Century learning. In 2010 we introduced a 1:1 Notebook program for all year 7 students to be phased in across the school over the next few years. Recent upgrades include new science rooms, a gymnasium, refurbished IT labs and a weights room to complement the gymnasium. We are currently involved in the Building Futures Program and are presently developing a facilities masterplan which will see a significant upgrading of our facilities in the next couple of years. The Shenton Performing Arts Complex (Geelong High School annex) is a key component of this process. The school’s enrolments have remained at capacity over the past nine years, with a waiting list for most year levels. Geelong High School is bounded by and has access to Eastern Park through a community facilities agreement with the City of Greater Geelong. This provides an excellent outdoor space for class tuition and passive leisure activities. Strong student leadership is an important element of the school’s program which has an emphasis on encouraging and challenging students to achieve their full potential.

Defender is not a pretender BY ERIC BLAIR he Land Rover Defender is a real blast from the past, but under that old-fashioned aluminium skin there are some quite futuristic features. Not that they are there to be high-tech, of course, the Defender isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that sort of vehicle. No, the electronics exist purely for practical reasons, to make it even better off-road than the original vehicle, because the Land Rover Defender is intended to work hard for its living. It was designed in the late 1940s to provide transport for farmers, vets, miners, builders, anyone who wanted to traverse harsh conditions in pursuit of their living. It has been updated in the meantime, but not to any unnecessary extent. This vehicle is intended first of all to be an off-road performer. On-road comfort is added to the equation when it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the way of proceeding through the harshest of off-road areas, whether it be the Australian desert, the African bush, or freezing Arctic conditions. Defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply brilliant on off-road terrain. Changes to the chassis, steering and suspension are relatively
T
minor compared to the previous models, but do give the new Defender a slightly better feel from behind the wheel in most other conditions. The big turning circle was a pain at times when negotiating tight carparks. Defender now comes with as many as seven seats in the 110 wagon. The front seats are too short, flat and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support well. They continue to be wedged against the door, so restrict elbow room for the driver. Centre-row seats have good legroom and headroom and their width can cope with three adults, though two will certainly feel more comfortable. A fair bit of dust had been deposited in the rear luggage area, suggesting that dust sealing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to the high standard of modern 4WDs. Land Rover Defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new engine, a 2.4-litre four-cylinder, is built by Ford. It has a handy 315 Newton metres all the way from 1500 rpm to 2700 rpm so we found we were driving with the engine at its torque peak virtually all the time. All that grunt is useful and the engine is moderately quiet at cruising speeds, though somewhat
noisy under acceleration. This engine is taller than the previous unit, so a bonnet bulge had to be incorporated in the frontal design. Meaning you can no longer carry a spare tyre on the bonnet. Another change is the deletion of the traditional vents at the base of the windscreen. Air-conditioning is now standard because of the deletion of the vents. Good news is that the air-conditioning unit is now behind the dashboard instead of taking up room in the passengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footwell. Sitting behind the new engine is a six-speed manual gearbox. Adding the extra ratio over the five-speed in the previous Defender. The new gearbox has enabled the use of an extra-low first gear for off-road use, and a highway cruising sixth gear. Second is too high to take off from a standstill without slipping the clutch over much, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to start in first then change gear only a few seconds later. Fifth canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be used around town, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only to be expected and the engine is happy to work in fifth down to low revs. All-in-all the Defender is a thoroughly acceptable vehicle for
Tried and true: the Land Rover Defender 90 is simply brilliant in off-road conditions. those looking for a genuine offroad 4WD at a pretty reasonable price. But keep in mind that the Land Rover Defender is a truck and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to be anything
else. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge for those who buy a 4WD because they feel it gives them a macho appearance. If you really do want to look tough enough to tackle the harshest of Aussie terrain, why not for-
get about buying one of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pretendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4WDs and buy one of the original vehicles in the passenger 4WD market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Land Rover Defender?

Dents R Us can remove bumps knocks and trolley dents aintless dent repair service Dents R Us specialises in fixing up those little bumps and knocks no matter how big or small. Owner Scott says the mobile car service can attend customers’ workplaces or homes to quickly repair damage, ranging from shopping trolley dents to hail damage nicks. “We come to you and do the job on the spot, so people aren’t without their car for days on end,” Scott says. “Following a quick quote we can have a customer’s car fixed in no time at all.” Dents R Us has now been operating in Geelong for nine months, but Scott has been in the automotive body industry for 27 years. Fully-trained, Scott says the service is environmentally friendly because no sanding or filling is required. Paintless dent repair is a cost-effective way of repairing dents in motor vehicles where paint has not been chipped or cracked. The process uses specialised tools to massage the dent from behind until it’s gone. Scott says the repair work leaves vehicles with a factory finish and without the problem of mismatched paintwork or obvious repair marks. Paintless dent removal is also faster than conventional body shop methods, so it can be completed on the same day to save vehicle owners time and money. Dents R Us is insurance company-approved and covered by a satisfaction guarantee. Customers can call Scott on 0437 120 013 or visit www.dentsrus.com.au .

Geelong surges as finals loom GEELONG Cricket Club has surged into second position on the premier competition ladder after a dominant victory against Dandenong last weekend. Dandenong batted first and was wellplaced at 4/108 but when Trent Walerys took two quick wickets the Cats were right in the game. From there, the leg spinner Jeremy Hart, went to work and finished with four wickets. This helped to restrict Dandenong to 190. The Geelong top order went to work and all did their bit, Liam Buchanan topscoring with a tidy half century. Luke Muller, Alex Stanley and Tom Elliott all made starts to help Geelong record an important victory.
Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Tomorrow the penultimate round of the season begins, with the Cats travelling to Schramms Reserve to take on Fitzroy Doncaster in a Saturday-Sunday fixture. Fitzroy Doncaster currently sits in eighth spot on the table and will be desperate to stay there, meaning a tight tus-
sle is assured. Geelong West has the upper-hand in its Geelong Cricket Association division one match against Manifold Heights after a solid batting performance. Curiously, Manifold Heights won the toss and elected to bowl first. This was a decision its players would have been questioning when the Rams were 1/126, with Glenn Talarico and Mike Chapple in full flight. Chapple was dismissed for 44 but the misery continued when Damian Vassilou came out and made a fine 61 of his own. Talarico was dismissed for 86, just short of what would have been a deserved century. West finished the day on 7/293 thanks to a late surge from Sam Loftus.
Anthony Hilton toiled well for three wickets but the rest of the bowlers struggled. His teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batsmen will need to produce something special if they are to claim an unlikely victory tomorrow. In division two, St Albans Breakwater has put itself in a good position to consolidate its spot in the top six with a fine bowling display against St Peters. In a star-studded bowling line up it was the unlikely Andrew Vine who was the destroyer. He took six wickets for just 16 runs and these were his first scalps of the season. St Peters did finish day one with some joy when Stephen Illingworth removed Nathan Clarke for a duck but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see St Albans Breakwater allowing its
opponents too much joy tomorrow. The important division three game between Teesdale and Corio is evenly poised after a disciplined bowling performance by Corio restricted the visistors to just 153. Journeyman Jason Stewart was the destroyer, taking 4/44 from 21 overs, while John Boljkovac chipped in with three of his own. For Teesdale, Shaun Haberfield top scored with 73, while James Wishart made 32 at the top order. Corio had to face two overs to complete day one but Rhys Campbell made sure the batsmen didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it all their own way, dismissing Chris Curran for no score to keep the match in the balance.

ANGLERS found the bays full of snapper over the past week, with a few quality fish among all the small specimens. The rock platforms along the inner-harbour were productive, with St Helens and North Shore rocks the best bet. Joel Moore fished the rocks near Pivot Pier where during two outings landed his bag limits of snapper, his best fish at 2.3kg. An angler fishing nearby with soft plastics also landed plenty of similar-size fish. Paul Dwyer fished the Stingaree Bay spoilgrounds where he caught and released over 40 fish to around 45cm on squid from daylight until midmorning. Perry James used a berley trail to catch 20 garfish on silverfish just out from the entrance to the grammar school lagoon. He also took flathead, salmon and snapper on blue bait. Brendan Sheedy and I fished the outer-harbour spoilgrounds with soft plastics. We caught plenty of snapper but the number of quality flathead made the outing memorable. Ballaratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrew Dellaca also found any number of good flathead. Simon and Neal Sharp fished in close to the quarries for whiting to 39cm, with all taken on pippies. Harry Field drifted the edge of the channel near Wilson Spit
Big time: Luka Jeremic with his whopper Swan Bay pike.
Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typical: Rob Tamblyn with a pair of typical Clifton Springs pinkies. where, among a plague of small snapper, he took 20 flathead to 2.2kg. The shallow grass beds off Hermsley produced a mix of calamari and arrow squid on small, bright-coloured jigs. Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rob Tamblyn fished with Brian McConnell out from Clifton Springs where they boated some nice pinkies in near perfect conditions. Reports came in from the Point Wilson area of salmon working bait shoals to the surface. With the fish extremely flighty
at the moment, anglers should approach quietly and keep a their distance. Shane Osborne fished the 20metre drop-off out from St Leonards to nail two nice snapper before the sun rose, with his best 7.1kg. Shane also lost a gummy shark estimated at 10kg when the hooks pulled beside the boat. Anglers using berley trailes at Swan Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caught a mix of flathead, snapper, leatherjacket and salmon along with a few nice squid. Luka Jeremic and his brother also landed a huge pike of 103cm on a lure, with the boys estimating the fish at 3.5kg. Tony Tait worked the channel in front of Duck Island for a nice bag of whiting along with his bag limit catch of calamari. Salmon were again present between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. Many were taken on trolled white occys but the better number fell to soft plastics cast into the surface action. Surf anglers reported good numbers of salmon from the beaches when the water was clear. Lures out-fished bait, which is generally the case. Surf snatchers have also been an option, usually producing better results than bait. Lake Purrumbete fished well for redfin on ice jigs and bobbers, with a mix of both brown and rainbow trout also taken on mudeyes under floats. Small redfin have been the order of the day at Wurdee Buloc Reservoir, although some nice trout were also taken. Steve Dennis landed three, the best a brown of just on 2kg, while using an Atomic Shad in the Coke Can colour.
