BY ERIN PEARSON A PROPOSAL to redevelop Torquay’s Grasstree Park has won the backing of state MP Andrew Katos. The Member for South Barwon said Surf Coast councillor Joe Remenyi’s call for an environmental education facility and cycling facility in the park was “fantastic”. “I’d certainly be very supportive of councillor Remenyi’s call to preserve that little triangle and activate it so the community can go in and use the park,” Mr Katos said. “The addition of a cycling track around the outside of the park would also help bring more people into the park. “It’s an area that eventually will have development all around it with Messmate Road right there, so upgrading facilities there is a great idea.” The Independent revealed Cr Remenyi’s plan last week, with community environment and cycling organisations offering support. Cr Remenyi said he wanted to turn the park into a “first-class” environmental education precinct with accommodation and cycling facilities. Mr Katos said he had yet to see any formal plans but would

be open to suggestions. “I’d be happy to work with members of council and Joan Lindros from Geelong Environment Council to progress ways to help preserve the park. I’d be happy to entertain any ideas or thoughts around it and certainly look at it in the future.” Mr Katos said the park, near the entry to Torquay, should be “shown off”. The council land off Surf Coast Hwy accommodates rare native grasstrees and former rubbish tip land. Wathaurong Aboriginal Coop erative indigenous protected areas officer Reg Abrahams said he would love to see the site used for education purposes. He called the park a “little, hidden paradise”. “It’s a true representation of how Torquay used to be vegetation-wise. People would be astounded at all the wildflowers and things there,” Mr Abrahams said. “Grasstrees themselves were used by Aboriginal people as fire sticks. They would cut pieces off and dry them off to use as fire-lighters. Mr Abrahams said plants used for Aboriginal medicines could also be in the park.

MP’s ‘park boost’

1012034-JL43-11

BY ERIN PEARSON JULIE Morris admits she’s no domestic goddess but the Torquay mother of two is on her way to creating an innovative cleaning device. Mrs Morris has been named as a finalist in a national competition offering wannabe entrepreneurs a chance to have their inventions manufactured and sold online. Ms Morris’s Groove Wizard has been short-listed from hundreds of entries for the Project Inventor initiative’s final 10 after a national search for new products. She said her design for a hand-held pole with a thin brush and a foam scrubber on either end could help solve the most frustrating household cleaning conundrum. “I thought of the invention years ago but didn’t know how to get it off the ground. A friend told me about the competition and it just fell into place. “I thought it was a great but didn’t realise so many others would, too.” Mrs Morris said years of tirelessly scrubbing at mould and grime in hard-to-reach places inspired her concept. “I grew more and more frustrated every time I had to clean the shower, the window tracks, sliding door tracks, all those areas around the house that are hard to get at. Nothing I ever found could do it well. “I’d end up getting a screwdriver and wrapping a cloth around the end of it or grabbing a toothbrush. “My invention would make cleaning so much easier.” Other short listed entries included a wind-powered mobile phone charger for motorcycles, a device for disposing of dog droppings and a doona with “feet-warming properties”.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE WORKLOAD of voluntary Justices of the Peace at the region’s police stations has more than doubled, according to coordinator Joan Scott. She said the JPs were now on average signing each week more than 2580 documents such as affidavits, statutory declarations and proof-of-identification forms. The JPs had signed more than 142,000 documents since the service began in 2007, she said. “Demand is increasing and if we had more volunteers we could be available more often,” Mrs Scott said. “Our volunteers often work longer than the rostered hours. They could always stay there longer.

“I’m always on the lookout for more Justices of the Peace who can spare three and a half hours to fill a roster spot.” Mrs Scott said she had a pool of 30 JP volunteers although 300 were registered in the region. She cited increasing complexity of paperwork requiring witnesses or certifications for the higher workload. “Forms have grown no end along with the complexity of things we deal with. For instance, many workers now need a statutory declaration to prove they were truly sick “Immigration issues, affidavits, overseas pension documents, traffic fines, certified true copies, senior’s cards and university forms are just some of what we

deal with.” Mrs Scott said JPs now had to deal with computer-based documents as well but were disallowed from acting as referees or guarantors. “Some people get annoyed if we can’t sign something but there are limits to what we can do.” Mrs Scott said a Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices provided training to keep up to date with documentation requirements. The volunteer roster saved the equivalent of two full-time police over a year, she said. Justices of the Peace are available between 9.30am and 1pm on weekdays at Geelong Police Station and on Monday and Friday at Corio’ station.

Deakin, Gordon face enrolment, funds hits BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S two main tertiary institutions are battling falling enrolments and funding cuts, emails to staff have revealed. Deakin University told staff 2012 student applications were down on 2011, while Gordon Institute of TAFE warned of a “negative impact” from state funding cuts. Deakin arts and education faculty general manager Alice Di Pasquale told staff the faculty’s applications were down eight per cent on the same time last year. “This is a decrease of 1647.”

Ms Di Pasquale said applications for Geelong’s Bachelor of Arts media and communication course had fallen 20 per cent. Applications for Geelong’s courses in primary teaching and professional and creative writing were down 18 and 16 per cent respectively. Other Deakin campuses also recorded declines, with applications for some Burwood and Warrnambool courses down as much as 37 and 26 per cent respectively. Geelong courses to increase between three and seven per cent included Bachelor of International Studies, commerce and criminology.

Deakin’s Faculty of Health had two per cent less total applications but the faculties of business and law and science and technology were up five and 11 per cent respectively. Total Deakin applications were down about 57 on the previous year. Ms Di Pasquale said the university was working on marketing campaigns to increase applications. Gordon chief Grant Sutherland told staff that State Government TAFE fee changes would “clearly have a negative impact on our funding”. Courses targeted for funding reductions included business, clerical,

finance, hospitality, property services, recreation, tourism and wholesale and retail. Mr Sutherland said the Government had removed minimum and maximum fee caps, affecting around 20 per cent of students who could be charged for the full cost of training. Apprentices would face increased costs from the removal of fee subsidies, he said. “The Gordon was already facing a difficult 2012 budget with decreased funding rates. Clearly there is a negative impact and acknowledge this is unsettling for staff.”

Millions unclaimed ALMOST $2.6 million in unclaimed money is awaiting unwitting residents across the region, according to Australian Securities and Investments Commission. A spokesperson said the commission had launched a new website at moneysmart.gov.au where residents could check whether their names were among the 3964 records of unclaimed financial assets in the Barwon region.

Alcoa ‘supported’ AN AGREEMENT to extend Alcoa’s lease on a brown coal mine powering the company’s Anglesea electricity generator has helped “support” jobs in the region, State Government has announced. But environmentalists have attacked the decision, with Friends of the Earth saying the time for investment in “dirty coal” had passed.

Tree fall A MAN has suffered potentially “life-changing” spinal injuries in a fall from a tree at Moriac, according to Ambulance Victoria. A spokesperson said the 40-year-old fell about 10 metres onto a dam bank where a friend held his head out of the water until ambulance officers arrived.

Produce boost A NEW “social enterprise” is trying to convince residents of Geelong’s northern suburbs to eat more fruit and vegetables. Food Skil said it would open its first Wednesday morning market outside Corio’s Cloverdale Community Centre on November 9 to provide “affordable” produce with information on “how to use healthy food”.

Woodchip win A GEELONG West company has won recognition in annual Governor of Victoria Export Awards, State Government has announced. The Government said SPE won regional exporter and agribusiness awards for overcoming global economic uncertainty, a strong Australian dollar and foreign competition to achieve success with its wood chip exports.

Centrelink shift CENTRELINK Geelong will begin operating in a new “environmentally friendly” building on November 14, according to federal Member for Corio Richard Marles. He said the “state-of-the-art” office at 12-14 Lt Ryrie St would replace Centrelink Geelong’s existing Lt Malop St office, closing at the end of business hours on November 11.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON GEELONG artist Charles Moodie loves the view from the top of Moorabool St’s hill on still mornings. “I love looking out over Corio bay with the You Yangs and Shell Refinery in the distance.” “Many people take things in their own backyard for granted but they’re often as picturesque as anywhere.” The Newtown resident’s oil paintings and watercolours will feature at Ocean Grove Rotary Club’s first art show this weekend. Mr Moodie said being part of an inaugural show was exciting. “I always sell quite well at the yearly Camberwell Rotary Club exhibition, which is the biggest in Australia.” Rotary Club of Ocean Grove President Margaret Campbell said the show would feature diverse works, many from well-known artists. “Some of our entries are from locals who have taken up art as they retired,” Ms Campbell said. “We’re putting them up to the challenge and they have just as much chance of taking out a prize because art can be pretty personal.” Sections will include painting, drawing, street art and print-making. The show’s overall winner will earn $2500, while section winners will take home $1000. The show will run Saturday and Sunday in Queenscliff Town Hall.

Authorities to counsel students after stabbing BY MICHELLE HERBISON AUTHORITIES will work with students to prevent violence after a stabbing at Bellarine Secondary College, according to the school’s principal and Victoria’s education department. Principal Colin Sing said the school was assisting police with their investigations into the incident on Tuesday. “I will be reminding all students about the expectations I have of them as members of our school community. “Our behaviour policy includes the

expectation that they behave responsibly and appropriately both in school and on-line.” A 17-year-old Ocean Grove boy suffered serious injuries in the stabbing. Geelong Hospital said the boy was in a stable condition on Wednesday. A 15-year-old Drysdale boy allegedly stabbed him in the neck with a pen. An Education Department spokeswoman said violence was never tolerated in government schools. “The department is taking this mat-

ter very seriously and will be working with the school to ensure the safety and welfare of all students.” The stabbing was the latest in a series of violent incidents at Bellarine Secondary College in recent years. A year seven student was removed from the school in March last year after putting a knife to the throat of a 12-year-old at the college. A 15-year-old boy ended up in hospital after a schoolyard fight three months later.

ERN LARGE, MOD UDIO ST S U IO & SPAC

Current and former students have posted comment on Facebook suggesting the school had an increasing reputation for violent incidents. Students have called the school “scummy” and threatened to stab each other. “That is what the school is known for,” one post said. Following last year’s incidents a number of impolite Facebook pages were created. Victoria Police declined to comment on the incident.

Timing of river report, lease decision ‘curious’

MORE than 70 activities have helped mark Children’s Week across the Geelong region. Mayor John Mitchell launched the week last Friday, with the activities concluding this Sunday. The annual event helps mark International Children’s Week. Organisers said the week provided opportunities to focus on the contributions of children to their communities. “During Children’s Week we are all reminded that childhood is a very important and exciting time in life, when children begin to discover new things about the world around them. It’s also an exciting time for parents who play a vital role in helping children learn.” Children’s Week concludes with a Kids Big Day Out from 11am to 3pm on Sunday at Ocean Grove’s Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ANGLESEA River has suffered “collateral damage” from a renewed 50-year lease on Alcoa’s power station mine, according to a community campaigner. Anglesea River Action Group chairperson Gary Bonner questioned the timing of the lease announcement two days after the release of a report on the river’s health. “The public has not even been allowed proper analysis of the report on the Anglesea River before the announcement of the new lease agreement,” he said. “This raises concerns as to the commitment given by State Government to address the prob-

News cuts 24 jobs on Geelong newspapers BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG Advertiser has dumped 24 staff, with general manager Wayne Buttner citing cost-cutting and increased efficiencies. Staff have supplied the Independent with an email from Mr Buttner telling them the newspaper’s pre-press functions would move to Leader Newspapers’ office at Blackburn. The email followed parent company News Limited announcing that subediting for weekly newspapers Geelong News and Echo will shift to NewsCentral Victoria’s facility at

Southbank on November 7. Mr Buttner’s email said all the Advertiser’s pre-press jobs in Geelong would be redundant “as part of News Ltd’s move to a shared services model”. “The move is part of News Ltd’s drive to ensure the longevity of its business by gaining efficiencies and reducing costs,” he wrote. “The newspaper market is increasingly competitive and News Ltd needs to streamline the way it works in order to meet these challenges.” “The move to Blackburn will occur in stages over the next six months. “Five to seven pre-press roles will

be available at Blackburn and there will be a number of other roles available in other departments within the Geelong business for pre-press staff.” Mr Buttner said Geelong pre-press staff would be “considered” for the Melbourne-based roles. Employment opportunities for the redundant staff “may remain at other departments in Geelong”. Australian Manufacturing Workers Union secretary Lorraine Casson said she was “very concerned about loss of these jobs”. “We have a certified collective agreement with the Advertiser but

lems facing the Anglesea River. “For Anglesea and its river to end up as just so much collateral damage under this new lease agreement is unacceptable.” Mr Bonner said the report “raised more questions than it answered”. The report admitted that Alcoa’s licensed discharge of boron into the river grossly exceeded accepted limits. “Alone this can have possible substantial detrimental effects on differing aquatic species within the river system. ” State Government’s agreement allows Alcoa to expand its mine site from 419 to 665 hectares but included increased environmental controls.

Report on management committees:

Coast greenwash Dog of a day: Lorraine Harrowfield and her grand champion golden retriever Stormy at the Geelong show. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 71765

Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to the dogs but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all just for show MANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S best friends put their collective best paws forward at Royal Geelong Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship dog competition recently. Groomed to within a clipped nail of their lives, the canines stayed on their best behaviour to avoid sending their owners to the doghouse. But it was the dog-loving members of Geelong and District Kennel Club holding the leash behind the scenes. And with 521 entries, they had their hands full managing breeds of all kinds from the affable affenpinscher and ballistic borzoi to the spirited shiba inu and stubborn schipperke. Club pack leader â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise known as secretary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Narelle Deller hardly had a moment to herself with a constant stream of enquiries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is nothingâ&#x20AC;? she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our club show in May can get 800 or 900 entries.â&#x20AC;? The program confirms that animal names have gone to the dogs. From Charharra How Coolismy Porche and Tejada Who Wears Frenchknickers to Goneroamin Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Kissncuddler or Wyowna Batteries Not Included, not a Rover was to be spotted, apart from in the car park, of course. And the business side of dog shows is big indeed, with pet industry sponsors keen to brush shoulders with breeders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big business and there are a lot of dollars involved,â&#x20AC;? top dog and club president Fred Freijah confirmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning a show, being certified as

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE REGIONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S coastal managers are pursuing environmental concerns at the expense of the recreational fishing industry, a government report has found. The report said at least one coastal committee of management openly â&#x20AC;&#x153;limitedâ&#x20AC;? recreational fishing facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were concerns about the future of recreational fishing with an increased environmental focus from some coastal management stakeholders,â&#x20AC;? the report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some locations, environ-

mental interest groups played a significant role in local coastal management bodies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In one case these stakeholders were open about seeking to limit recreational fishing in their areas and having no desire to improve the quality of coastal fishing facilities.â&#x20AC;? The report called for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;morebalanced approachâ&#x20AC;? to ensure consideration of economic and social interests in planning and management of coastal facilities. The report said anglers should be encouraged to participate on coastal boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both government and indus-

try stakeholders felt there was a need to improve the image of fishing and fishers and better recognise their efforts in promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility.â&#x20AC;? The Independent revealed earlier this month that the coast from Queenscliff to Anglesea was rated as having the most inadequate recreational angling facilities in Victoria. Western Coastal Committee acting chair Sue Mudford challenged the reports suggestion of an imbalance in representation on the committees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gathered input from 30

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN a champion or grand champion, can make a big difference to breeding fees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stud fee goes up and puppy prices rise if the breeder wins and some want to win badly for these reasons.â&#x20AC;? Dogs need 100 points to be certified as a champion and a well-presented dog could earn up to 17 at show. Breeders often travelled as far as Adelaide and Sydney for major shows. Narelle said the club ran free training sessions on Sunday mornings for owners and breeders to get the hang of the whole dog show routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess you could call it teaching old dogs new tricks,â&#x20AC;? she smiled. But kennel club members had more in mind than just the business of winning championships, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our members put back into the dog breeding community. We have the betterment of the breed at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backyard breeders are in it just for the money. A pedigree breeder does the right thing by the dog.â&#x20AC;?

Radio crosses for showroom launch A LIVE radio cross has helped launch the official opening of a new family-owned store in South Geelong. Geelong personality and 3AW announcer Denis Walter gave listeners a thorough rundown on the opening of the Sinclairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relocated E&S Trading showroom last Friday. The family transformed a former Faggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mitre 10 building on the corner of Moorabool St and Barwon Tce to create the 2265-square-metre shop selling kitchen, bathroom and laundry products. The Sinclairs developed the showroom after moving from their previous premises further up Moorabool St, which they bought from Owen Crowl and Co in 2003.

New shelter board GEELONG Animal Welfare Society has appointed a new president and vice-presidents after a spate of resignations. The society announced the appointments a week after pledging to permanently stop unnecessary animal kills in response to allegations of inhumane euthanasia practices. New president Mike Bailey said he hoped the new board could focus the shelter on updating protocols and foster caring. Mr Bailey joined new vice-presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nadine Williams and Rodney Duggan on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to upscale adoptions, foster caring, protocols and procedures, it has to be done properly,â&#x20AC;?

The Independent, Friday October 28, 2011

Missed opportunity THE DECISION by the dysfunctional national Labor Governmentt to initially exclude a major regional centre such as Geelong from the NBN (Independent, October 21) while embracing Melton, Tullamarine and Ballarat is beyond belief. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely no question this vibrant hub is the most valuable jewel in Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown as the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most liveable city. With respect to the other areas, an investment in this new technology in Geelong will maximise the benefits of 21st Century fibre optics. Any move to bypass this progressive city will set the manufacturing sector of Melbourne back decades. Steve Joseph Norlane

Pollution avoidable SHELLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S oil refinery again polluted Geelong last week with an activity that continues to put not only the environment but public health regularly at risk. It should not have happened. About eight years ago a meeting of Shellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community liaison group put forward two resolutions. The first was that the refinery enters into negotiation with government and power service providers about setting up a ring grid system incorporating all power providers. The second resolution recommended that Shell should not rely solely on the state electricity grid but purchase a diesel generator to handle sensitive production in the event of a power failure. A ring grid system would automatically switch to an alternative power supply in the event of a failure, while the diesel generator would provide a secondary backup should the ring grid system fail. The liaison group and Shell management accepted the recommendations, with a promise to initiate the action items. However, four years on little had happened. In 2007 the refinery and parts of Geelong suffered a power failure due to bushfires. Not all of Geelong lost power, proving that an alternative power source would have been available had a ring grid system been put in place. The diesel generator was purchased but it is believed Shell entered into an agreement with one of

its service providers and the generator was decommissioned. The result is that Shell still has power outages and Geelong is still the victim of pollution. John RL Wilson Norlane

Sorry about that I WANT to apologise for any concern or inconvenience that a recent smokey flare from Shellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corio refinery may have caused. The large flare was due to an electrical issue that led to a power disruption at the facility. The exact cause of the disruption is still under investigation. The flare also caused a small grass fire outside the site, which was extinguished quickly by the CFA. I would like to reassure the community that neither the flare nor the smoke posed any risk to the community or our employees. However, I recognise that it was a large, unsightly flare that may have caused angst. We thank the community for channeling queries about this incident through our emergencies and issues number, 1800 651 818. The safety and welfare of our employees, the community and the environment is our number-one priority. Mark Schubert Shell Geelong Refinery general manager

Spring into Summer

Mining the future

Savings

CHRISTINA Dengler (Letters, October 21) pointed out that Julia Gillard had plenty of time to decide on the carbon tax before she ruled it out at the election. After the election, with water being released from overflowing dams, Julia Gillard imposed the carbon tax on a sceptical public. Now she has to ensure there will be jobs. How terrible that prime agricultural land at Bacchus Marsh is to be destroyed to fill ships with coal. As manufacturing is sent offshore by the carbon tax and mining companies fail to support the Australian steel industry, quarrying will be our main source of jobs and income. What will the expansion of coal mining over Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food-producing farmland leave future generations? Thanks to the Liberal party, the mining companies might not pay the super profits tax. Kevin Guinane Gheringhap

THE DEDICATED coverage of the Talk the Toll Down road safety campaign has been overwhelming and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d again like to congratulate the Independent for its support. The stories to date are testament to this newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to reducing road deaths and trauma in the community. Talking the toll down is important because we know a conversation or stories from friends and family can have a much greater impact on our decisions and choices than being told what to do by authorities. Victoria has come a long way in 40 years of reducing the road toll but we must keep the community talking and thinking about road safety. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invited Victorians to contribute ideas for road safety messages that will appear as part of a new era in the history of our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number plates. What better place to reinforce road safety messages than on number plates. This initiative is not only about putting the road safety message in front of every driver and passenger, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about getting people thinking and talking about how to improve road safety and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about talking the toll down. We know that continual reminders and reinforcing messages work and the new number plates will effectively mean hundreds of thousands of reminders to drive safely on our roads every day. I urge readers to log on to www.premier .vic.gov.au to submit their ideas for a new slogan and to keep talking the toll down. Ted Baillieu Premier of Victoria

Crash course in a rockin’ Halloween GHOSTS, ghouls and all things spooky will converge on Drysdale this weekend in the spirit of Halloween, according to organisers of a youth event. They said Halloween Fest Five would feature live entertainment, a haunted house complete with special effects and “unexpected scares and frightening illusions”. “This year the haunted house has gone back in time to tell the story of the old farmer and his family whose ghosts now haunt Peninsula Dve.” A spokesperson from event organiser City of Greater Geelong said the all-ages event would be fully supervised and drug and alcohol-free. Rock band Hands like Houses would headline with support from Athena’s Wake, Any Last Words, I Seek Existence, Empire’s Fall, Elm Street, Through the Eleventh Hour, La Mort and Hallower. The City spokesperson said youth organisation Crash Course Productions had organised Halloween Fest Five. Halloween Fest Five will run from 3.30pm to 10.30pm Saturday at Drysdale’s The Potato Shed. The spokesperson said tickets cost $15 for guests without costumes or $10 for others who came dressed in the Halloween theme.

Look what the Cat dragged in BY ERIN PEARSON HIDING away in a quaint country farmhouse offers the perfect recipe for songwriting success, according to Gypsy and the Cat’s Lionel Towers. He described his little retreat as housing the band’s studio surrounded by bushland and cattle just an hour’s drive from Melbourne. Towers said he and bandmate Xavier Bacash believed writing away from the big smoke was “far more liberating”. “It offers us the perfect space to escape and write music away from everyone,” he said. “We’re city boys but we’d much prefer writing out there as opposed to going to a studio in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. “It gives us a clearer headspace and I think it will certainly influence our next record.” Recently back from a whirlwind tour of Europe, the duo is working on songs for its new record. Towers, 25, and Bacash, 22, wrote, recorded and produced their debut album on their own in

The band’s promoters point out that Gypsy and the Cat was the only band to play the main stage at the two of this year’s biggest Australian summer music festivals: Big Day Out and Future Music Festival. All three of the band’s singles also scored places in Triple J’s Hottest 100 poll before Gypsy and the Cat signed to Sony Music flagship label RCA in the UK. Towers said he felt less pressure compiling the second record despite the early successes. “It’s a little easier writing this time around because we have two years of ideas bottled up that we can now bring to fruition,” he said. “We want to push the limits and define our sound more the second On the rise: Gypsy and the time around.

Centre ready for functions eelong people planning weddings, parties or conferences have a new state-of-the-art facility to use. After an $8.2 million redevelopment earlier this year, Corio’s Beckley Centre is now catering for any kind of function outside of race days. Geelong Greyhound Racing Club’s newly appointed general manager, Daniel Salter, says the venue wants to build a reputation for fantastic service. “We’re priced affordably and you’ll get more than meets your requirements,” he says. The centre’s new dining and entertaining area can accommodate up to 220 people for sit-down dining. The facility is fully set up with audio-visual equipment and an in-house chef. “We can tailor your function to your needs, whether big or small,” Mr Salter says. “Nothing is too difficult for our chef. He’ll work within a budget and share ideas with the customer to design a menu accordingly.” Patrons of day functions can be treated to a morning tea of scones with jam and cream and a lunch of pastries and assorted sandwiches. Dinner functions can offer a range of cuisines including soup, seafood, roast meat, pasta, vegetable dishes and chips. The venue will be fitted out from next week with a new deck on its eastern side and a fantastic playground for children. Situated on Broderick Rd, the Beckley Centre has convenient access to both Geelong and Melbourne as well as ample parking space. Mr Salter encourages anyone considering the venue to visit on Friday nights for greyhound races. “It’s a fun, family-friendly event open to the public,” he says. “On Friday nights just $45 will buy you a three-course buffet meal, two complimentary drinks and a race book.”

A state-of-the-art grandstand welcomes patrons.

ids can get up close and personal with greyhounds on Friday nights at Geelong’s new Beckley Centre, in Broderick Rd, Corio. Greyhound Racing Victoria’s Scott Robins says greyhound racing is family-friendly. “The kids love it because the dogs can be just three metres away when they’re racing,” he says. “The athleticism of the dogs is amazing as they can clock up to 70km/h. “Plus, people are more likely to have a dog in their backyard than a horse, so it feels more real. “The dogs love nothing more than a cuddle and a pat and they actually make outstanding pets once they retire.” Mr Robins says greyhound racing in Victoria has become more popular in recent years. “The fact that there are only eight dogs in every race means everyone thinks they can pick a winner quite easily,” he says. “The races are quicker – they’re over in 30-odd seconds – and another one starts soon after, so people have the option to get onto the next race and bet again.” In the past eight or nine years the greyhound racing industry has nearly doubled its share of the state’s wagering market to around 20 per cent. The Beckley Centre will host its first major racing event on the new course with the must-see Veolia Geelong Gold Cup on two nights over the next week. This Friday the exciting racing will involve eight heats, with each winner going into the final the following week. On the following Friday, November 4, the best dogs in the country will compete for the $40,000 Veolia Geelong Gold Cup title. The event will feature kids’ activities, giveaways and gate prizes. The first 100 children through the gates will also receive a free showbag. Mr Robins says the cup will be a fun, family-friendly event. “You’re going to see the best dogs in Australian racing,” he says. “Geelong people are the luckiest in Australia, with the best dogs and trainers all living in the area and racing on our track consistently.”

A Meal & Show Night A delicious two course meal and a GREAT band!

STARRING

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Repertory Theatre has the answer for anyone who has ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a live show, according to director Scott Beaton. The theatre troupe’s latest show, Over the Moon, looked at the nerves, tears, tantrums and tirades behind closed curtains, Beaton said. He described the show, by American comedy writer Ken Ludwig, as set in the 1950s to follow the lives of two washed-up actors from the 1920s. “It’s around the misunderstandings and crazy things that go on behind live theatre,” Beaton said. “The characters all want to go

and work with the director on his new movie but then in come mistaken identities and old-fashioned humor in a slightly more fresh way. “People are getting drunk and not able to make it on stage, others are having affairs, it’s all over the place. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on back stage, now is your opportunity.” Beaton said most farces were usually from Britain, so Over the Moon’s American origins were extra special. “This comedy is a little more sophisticated,” he explained. “There’s going to be entertainment in the foyer as well and music on the side to offer something for everyone.”

Beaton said cast members were already tapping into their own backstage encounters to add to the script. “So far the experiences we’ve had have had us rolling in the isles laughing,” he laughed. “That’s something you don’t expect so early on but we’re all having an absolute ball putting this together. Anyone who’s ever seen or been in a show live is going to relate to some of that for sure. “We’ve found that quite a joyous thing.” Geelong West’s Woodbin Theatre will host Over the Moon from November 18 to December 3. Bookings are available through Geelong Peforming Arts Centre.

hassles if you drive on roughish roads. Our road test Soul had the 18-inch alloy wheel option and we found the ride to be rather too firm for our tastes. There are smaller wheels in the price list and these may be a better bet on the comfort side of things. Of course, these things are always a matter of personal preference. May we suggest an extended visit to you Kia dealership to test drive a few different cars. And at the same time you will be able to salivate over the huge list of options. Handling is competent enough, but nowhere near in the same class as the MINI we mentioned early in the story. Soul holds the road well enough and isn’t to cranky if asked to change direction suddenly part way through a corner. But it’s certainly not sporting. While on the subject of handling, we weren’t keen on the feel through the electrically-assisted power steering, finding it a bit on the dead side and not giving us as much feedback as we like.

BY ERIC BLAIR ia Soul is something very special to the Australian car market. Not only is it visually stunning, it’s also a practical car at a modest price. What more could you ask? Soul also challenges buyers to customise their cars. The new MINI has offered buyers a staggering choice of options since it arrived in Australia in 2002. Sadly it is out of reach of those with less than around $40,000 to spend on a moderately specced model. MINI is also beyond the reach of most people who would like to ride in the back seat – because it’s very tight back there. The options list for the Kia Soul is simply staggering. Naturally there’s a big choice of colours, mostly very bright colours, and alloy wheels in several sizes. You can also add a body kit and/or various decals, some of them way out. But it’s certainly not a case of style and no substance. There’s room for teenagers in the back seat, as well as a reasonably sized boot, though probably not enough to cart a lot of gear on an extended holiday trip. Our road test Kia Soul was powered by a turbo-diesel displacing just 1.6 litres and producing 94 kW, and 260 Nm between 1900 and 2750 revs. We found it to be relatively quiet in its operation, other than for the first few minutes after a cold start where it had the typical diesel clatter. It pulled well and didn’t have overmuch lag before giving its best. That broad spread of torque really works nicely and many owners will find themselves using the engine to its best effect almost all of the time. Fuel consumption is the chief reason for paying $3500 extra for the turbodiesel compared with the 1.6-litre petrol unit that’s also on offer, this powerplant has 91 kW of power, and 156 Nm of torque at 4200 rpm, the latter well below the diesel’s torque. Most owners of the Kia Soul diesel will find it using about six to seven litres per hundred kilometres on the open road if there aren’t too many hills about, it should be possible to get the figure under six litres per hundred on motorways. Around town the consumption is likely to be in the seven to eight litre bracket. At just 48 litres the fuel tank is relatively small so the overall range isn’t as good as many other turbo-diesel cars. The small tank is probably justified to provide all that extra space within the Soul.Kia Australia opted for the European rather than American suspension setup, but this could create some

Dave says Ultra Carbon provides exceptional optical clarity together with signal-enabling technology eliminating interference for mobile phone, radio and GPS operation. Ultra Carbon also comes with a full lifetime warranty. The TintMaster range includes almost-clear films for drivers preferring a lighter window that still keeps out heat and UV rays. “When you want the best look for your car, the best protection for your family and the best value for money, see TintMaster,” Dave says.

The Independent, Friday October 28, 2011

sport Cats down coast for Blues THE CATS will be itching to get out on the park this Saturday after last week’s inclement weather put a halt to Geelong Cricket Club taking to the field against North Melbourne. Round five sends Geelong to Warrnambool for a match against Carlton in the Premier Leagues annual round of country matches. Carlton boasts a strong side and sits atop the ladder with four wins from as many starts. Geelong, though, has started the season brightly and will view this game as a chance to pit itself against the best team going around. With the addition of enthusiastic youngsters such as Sam Scannell and Micah Buchanan, the Cats have nothing to lose and should put up a great fight. In Geelong Cricket Association, South Barwon holds the upper hand in its match-of-the-round clash with Geelong West. Batting first last week, the Swans piled on 6/364

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE on the back of a club record score of 174 by Clinton Peake, an innings that proved he is still a class above this level of cricket. He received good support from English import Ben Burkill who scored 54 not out. Josh Vrbovski lead the way for the bowlers with

3/78 from 20 overs. Phil Halbish will lead the Swans with the ball tomorrow but his attack looks to lack penetration, which would indicate Jeremy Babb will bowl a marathon spell of spin bowling and should bowl his side to victory in the process. In division two, the match of the round between Torquay and Alexander Thomson appears slightly in the Vikings’ favour after they bowled out the Tigers for just 141 last Saturday. Aaron Sarah and Nathan Saunders both took three wickets, while Paddy McMahon snared two in his first game for the club. For the Tigers, Shane Thompson battled bravely with 56 in the middle order, while evergreen Darryl Stevenson chipped in with 31. Torquay had 25 overs to try to get back in the game but could only manage one wicket while giving up 37 valuable runs.

Tom Aldridge will need to take some early wickets tomorrow to give his side any chance but, with a strong middle order, Alexander Thomson should ge the job done. And in division three, Bannockburn is in a strong position against North Shore in their match a Victoria Park. Batting first last week, the Tigers scrapped their way to 194 all-out from 58 overs, a competitive score but they would have been dissapointed not to ba their overs out. Peter Phillips top scored with 58 but had little help as no other batsman made more than 25 thanks to a disciplined effort from the Seagulls bowlers. North Shore would have fancied itself a chance to chase down that total but two late wickets to Michae Allan on day one will make it difficult unless someone has a day out with the willow.

Snapper action around the region as youngsters flock to Seagull On the bite BRIAN LONG MORE than 200 children fished in a Ron Nelson Fishing Clinic at North Geelong’s Seagull Lake last weekend, landing over 100 trout, eels and carp. Fisheries Victoria deserves thanks for liberating trout prior to the day, while a small band of Geelong and District Angling Association volunteers also deserve credit for running the event. Another junior angler to catch fish in the past week was 10-year-old Benjamin Harrow who went fishing with his dad near Point Wilson to land his first big snapper. Benjamin’s 8.7kg ripper took a Snapper Snatcher tipped with squid. Others to catch snapper included Paul Sterling who fished the inner-harbour anchorage, landing his bag limit of big fish three times. Paul said anglers nearby were also into the action. Werribee’s Stuart and Danny Smallwood fished out from the wreck of the Anneaura where they had no trouble catching fish to over 5kg, although small snapper were a nuisance. Andrew Dellaca fished soft plastics in the same area to catch quality fish from 60cm to 65cm. Offshore anglers caught quality snapper to 8.5kg off Barwon Heads, with many averaging around 3.5kg mark. Surf anglers found salmon numbers thinning but deeper rock platforms along the coast between Eastern View and Lorne still produced quality fish to 2.5kg on lure. Queenscliff’s cut returned a variety of species. Trevally dominated but snapper, salmon and Tommy rough were also present, with Ken Alford finding soft plastics a lot of fun. Squid numbers increased after the previous week’s windy conditions, with cleaner water resulting in bag-limit captures from many areas. Close in to Bell Reef, the entrance to Swan Bay and

Clinic capers: Ben Mawson with a carp from North Geelong’s Seagull Lake. Hermsely were all productive, especially for anglers using natural-coloured jigs. Big salmon shoals were encountered at the entrance and inside Swan Bay, with anglers casting small, metal, baitfish lures or soft plastics enjoying the best results. The same area also produced whiting, garfish and leatherjacket. Daniel Smart drifted the shallow grass beds off St Leonards to find quality flathead. Daniel’s soft plastics accounted for six fish, the best a beauty of 2.3kg. Anglers chasing whiting in close to Bird Rock found reasonable numbers, with most averaging 35cm. Peter Clarke enjoyed a hot bite on the run-up to high tide, catching his bag limit and releasing a similar number. Soft plastics anglers fishing Geelong’s waterfront caught small snapper, flathead and trevally, Fishermen’s Pier area was best, with anglers casting from moored boats reporting the best results when

using worm pattern lures. North Shore rocks had little attention but anglers who fished this location after dark took a handful of quality snapper. Bret Knowles fished the Barwon River near Buckley Falls with small, deep-diving lures to catch 33 fish, many reaching 1kg, over numerous sessions. Greg Forbes fished the Barwon at Queen’s Park where he caught redfin on deep-diving or vibe-style lures. A couple of anglers fishing Fyans Park landed two big carp close to 5kg each on corn baits. They also reported catching many others in the past couple of weeks. Mixed reports come in from Lake Bullen Merri where Danny Clapinski fished local gudgeon from the shore to bag a magnificent brown trout of 3.4kg. Other anglers found small Atlantic salmon more readily available, with Powerbait and minnow the best baits. Lake Tooliorook was again productive, with trolling close to the shore successful.

Bait anglers have been using Powerbait, glassies and smelt. Deep Lake remained discoloured but still yielded trout on Powerbait, minnow and mudeye during the afternoons. Lake Bolac, 50km south of Ararat, has provided some truly outstanding captures of big rainbow trout over the past month. Many fish over 3kg have been caught from either the boat or shore on trolled Tassie Devils, Powerbait and smelt. Further afield, Lakes Fyans and Lonsdale continued producing redfin on trolled Stump Jumpers, although the yabbies available to netters have been the real attraction. This weekend’s best option will be to chase a snapper off Clifton Springs on the bend of the channel up to the Wilson Spit during the afternoon tides with pilchards for bait. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.
