Labor MPs back WorkCover shift to Geelong

Jobs boost locked in

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

RELOCATING WorkCover’s head office to Geelong would “absolutely fit” a plan to create a centre of excellence in injury prevention and rehabilitation, according to TAC head Janet Dore.

The proposed WorkCover shift now has bi-partisan support, with local Labor MPs saying they would pursue the move if their party won government at next year’s state election.

The move has been welcomed as an economic boost for central Geelong.

The Independent reported in July Geelong was uniquely

positioned to become an international centre of excellence in trauma, rehabilitation and injury management.

Health sector leaders said the combination of the NDIS, Transport Accident Commission, Barwon Health, St John of God Hospital and Deakin University provided an unrivalled base.

Ms Dore said bipartisan support meant the move “will happen” and would enable the relocation to be properly planned and executed.

“We welcome that kind of certainty, allowing us time to work with our colleagues and share the benefit of our experience.”

Ms Dore said a centre of excellence in Geelong would provide “fantastic opportunities” for Deakin University and Barwon Health graduates.

“Geelong Football Club is also looking to get into the prevention and rehabilitation space with regard to sports injuries,” she said.

Ms Dore said TAC and WorkCover could share some services if both were based in central Geelong.

“The closer the better,” she said.

Central Geelong Taskforce chair Cr Michelle Heagney said the WorkCover head office

We kn n w how to get ge you there.

would build on “already considerable industry strengths and expertise”.

“The Central Geelong Taskforce is clear about the need to attract more people to the city centre and an extra 550 workers would not only be a significant economic boost but help to create the bustle and life that characterises vibrant cities.

“It is sheer numbers of people on the streets, in cafes and parks that create energy and atmosphere.”

Cr Heagney said the taskforce was prioritising a “thorough review” of strategic sites to help State Government

determine location options.

Lara MP John Eren said he welcomed the Napthine Government’s plan to relocate WorkCover, which would complement existing services in the city.

But he was worried about an overall decline in WorkCover’s workforce as part of the move.

“What concerns me is this government has a track record of cutting the public service with 5000 public servants state-wide already sacked.

“Can they promise that the public service will not be eroded and no public servant will lose their job as result?”

OBERON - “KIDS WHO CARE” A recent nationwide writing competition gave a group of Year 8 students the chance to show they care. Originating from the Katherine Susannah Prichard Foundation the students had one day to plan, write, illustrate, print and bind a 2000 – 4000 word story and all teams had to raise a minimum of $300 to participate in the competition with proceeds being donated to a hospital of their choice.

The students who named their group Kids Who Care were awarded winner of the Middle School Category for raising the Most Sponsorship Nationally in 2013. They raised $1003 in their fundraising efforts and together with two other groups of students raised $1750. The KIDS WHO CARE TEAM consisted of Abbey Fedley, Chante Hughes, John McQuaid, Taylor Nearn and Kaitlyn Smith.

Students were assisted in their fundraising with a generous donation of $250 from Champions IGA supermarket in Grovedale. The bulk of fundraising came from donations from a door knocking effort in the Belmont area. Oberon students and staff, joined in the fundraising by having a winter ‘Master Chef’ soup competition, cake stalls and a jelly bean competition. Students chose to donate their fund-raising to The Kids’ Cancer Project.

On the day of the competition, each group of students were given two characters, a non-human character, a setting and an issue plus five random words. Groups were given writing task topics such as a story about a sailor, an unemployed father, an ostrich, the moon, and being down to your last dollar!! Students worked enthusiastically and with great team spirit to have the task completed before the end of the school day.

They were encouraged to enter this competition as part of Oberon’s literacy program which promotes student writing and entries to a range of competitions.

A Casual Dress Day (see photo) was arranged as part of Oberon High School’s commitment to community service to raise funds for the Oberon Christmas Appeal.

The year 7’s cooked a BBQ lunch and year 8 students baked a delicious range of slices and Christmas themed goodies which they sold, raising a total of $970.

Oberon High School supports the Geelong Advertiser “Adopt a Family”, K Mart Wishing Tree and Uniting Care “Concern” with Christmas Hampers for families in need, with food items and gifts generously provided by many Oberon families.

APCO calls for vouchers ‘ban’

By NOEL MURPHY SUPERMARKET fuel discounts of up to 40 cents a litre are discriminating heavily against many shoppers and should be banned, according to Geelong-based independent fuel retailer APCO. Director Peter Anderson criticised a “duopoly” Coles and Woolworths were exploiting at the expense of shoppers who were of modest spending habits, motorists with smaller fuel tanks, pensioners and low-income consumers.

Independent petrol retailers across the country were closing down in response to predatory shopper dockets cutting bowser prices to less than wholesale fuel prices, he said.

1110650-DJ49-13

“It’s disgraceful what they’ve been doing, they’ve got to be reeled in. There’s not one other country in world that would allow what’s happening here,” Mr Anderson told the Independent.

“It’s completely discriminatory. Someone with a big fuel tank can get $15 off but if you’ve got a smaller tank you only save $5.

“And how can any small business compete? It’s predatory pricing.

“The discounts have had a big impact on grocery prices, which have been going up and up.”

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has been investigating fuel docket vouchers and is reportedly close to reaching a deal with Coles and

Woolworths that would cap the discounts.

But Mr Anderson said any such arrangements would do nothing to remove the inherent discrimination of the system.

“I think it should be banned altogether. Capping it won’t do anything, it will still be unfair.”

Mr Anderson said competition in the petrol retail industry was dying as Coles and Woolies reaped the profits of their duopoly.

“We’ve seen the demise or sale of a lot of independents. In Western Australia, in Queenland from Sydney all the way across the top to Darwin – Oz Fuel, Matilda, Freedom ... the independents are all gone.”

Women’s broken nose costs man bond, $500

By MICHELLE HERBISON A GEELONG Magistrate has sidelined a conviction in favour of a stern warning for a man who broke his partner’s nose with a punch.

Magistrate Ann McGarvie handed the man an adjourned undertaking with a 12-month good behaviour bond and ordered him to pay $500 to the White Ribbon Foundation, which campaigns to stop violence against women.

The 52-year-old man pleaded guilty to recklessly causing injury with the punch, which he threw during a heated argument at the pair’s home.

The accused claimed he was acting in self-defence to the argumentative victim who had thrown a glass bowl. “Your punch to her was out of proportion to whatever she was doing to you,� Ms McGarvie said. “She had to have time off (from work) and she had a black eye. No matter what that person is doing to you, you don’t hit back.�

Police Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Siobhan Daly told the court the victim had approached the man as he sat in their lounge. “The victim became argumentative and he hit her over the head with the

magazine he was reading. She slapped him back then he punched her a number of times to the face.�

In an initial police interview the man admitted he had pushed the woman but denied punching her.

He later told police: “She was pointing her finger at me. When I hit her she started to back off. “I felt my fist punch hit her. She went down to the ground and I saw blood coming from her nose. “I did feel I punched her a bit hard.�

Defence lawyer Caetlyn WellsSimon said her client was “genuinely distressed� by his actions, had pro-

actively sought counselling and was back together with the woman. “There’s a history between him and his partner of nine years. In a previous intervention order he was actually the protected person.�

Ms McGarvie said the incident was “out of character� for the first-time offender and he had expressed remorse for his actions.

The Independent last week revealed a 44 per cent surge in local family violence in the past year, according to new police figures. Domestic assaults had reached 953, up more than 280 on the year before.

In brief Tracks opening GEELONG will be first to reap the benefit of Victoria’s regional rail link project when new tracks begin freeing up services between the city and Melbourne this month, State Government has announced.

But Public Transport Users Association said Geelong trains would also begin bypassing North Melbourne’s station when the tracks open on 22 December, forcing passengers to change trains to access City Loop services.

Cats branded THE Geelong Cats brand is more valuable than AFL rivals including Carlton, Essendon and Richmond, according to a ranking of sports brands.

The annual Top 20 Most Valuable Australian Sports Brands ranked the Cats sixth with a value of $26.8 million, while Penrith Panthers was first $46.2 million and Collingwood Magpies third at $39.1 million.

Rugby returns MELBOURNE Rebels rugby team will host New Zealand’s Hurricanes under lights at Geelong’s Simonds Stadium, organisers have announced.

A Rebels spokesperson said the team was looking forward to returning to Geelong for the pre-season trial match on 8 February after drawing a “big crowd� at the first game in Geelong last season.

Bells taskforce A NEW 14-member taskforce will help develop a “shared vision� for Bells Beach Surfing Reserve, Surf Coast Shire has announced.

The shire said former deputy premier John Thwaites would chair the Bells Beach Visioning Taskforce, which also included five councillors and a “cross-section� of community representatives.

Young burn survivors make a splash at surf camp

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN SPLASHING about in Torquay’s waves and filling the Surf Beach air with laugher this week was a far cry the previous traumas of 15 Camp Tango burns survivors.

The children were in town for surfing lessons as part of KIDS Foundations’ first injury recovery camp in Torquay on Monday.

Charity founder Susie O’Neill said the children were “not long out of hospital� after suffering horrific, life-changing injuries. “Some of them still have a full body suit, they need dressings changed, they worry about how they look and what life holds for them,� Ms O’Neill said. “Camp Tango gives them a chance to feel normal, to do that other kids do, to realise they’re not on their own.�

Camp Tango stood for “together achieving new goals and opportunities�, Ms Neill said. “It provides encouragement, hope and an opportunity to restore self-belief and build self-confidence. “Many of our attendees describe Camp Tango as life-changing, providing a sense of belonging to a larger family. “Torquay is known for its picturesque coastline and the start of the renowned Great Ocean Road.

It’s the perfect location for such rewarding experiences.�

Ms O’Neill said local businesses had strongly supported the camp.

KIDS is an acronym for Kids In Dangerous Situations, with the organisation working to redress Australia’s startling childhood injury statistics. “Every day more than 5000 children are injured unintentionally and of those, more than 100 require hospital attention� Ms O’Neill said. “More children die from injury than from disease.�

Fishy products GEELONG’S commercial fishing waste could be used to make health products, according to MP David Koch.

He said Geelong’s Australian Seafood Fertilisers had struck an arrangement with Victoria University’s College and Health and Biomedicine to “identify valuable bi-products� from the waste.

Kristofferson concert AMERICAN country music legend and movie star Kris Kristofferson will perform at Geelong Arena, Mayor Darryn Lyons has announced.

He said the singer of hits such as Me and Bobby McGee and leading man in A Star is Born would play a “one-off� concert on 5 April.

Funding for 1000 jobs The first two projects were accepted under the former Labor government’s Regional Development Australian funding but agreements to supply the money were unsigned before the election.

Ms Henderson said the combined projects would create almost 1000 jobs.

“The projects will provide a muchneeded jobs boost to communities across our region and much-needed community infrastructure.

“This diverse range of projects will also provide a host of fantastic new opportunities.

“The Geelong Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases (GCEID) will

play an important role in protecting regional health, food safety, food security and biosecurity.

“The creation of GCEID will be a national first: bringing together clinicians, researchers and animal health specialists that will stimulate investment and mitigate the economic risk of emerging infectious disease outbreaks.”

Ms Henderson said the project would create 107 jobs during construction and 30 highly-skilled, ongoing positions.

She said the Golden Plains Food Production and Employment Precinct project was “a huge boost” for local

agriculture, creating 775 jobs over 10 years and generating $160 million of industry investment.

The $11.78 million project will construct a 12.5km water pipe to a 4000Ha intensive agriculture project at Lethbridge.

Geelong Mayor Darryn Lyons said the announcements followed “concerted” lobbying of the new Government.

Golden Plains Mayor Jenny Blake said the agriculture project had a “large number of investors lined up” awaiting final confirmation.

She said the project had the potential to drive food export from the region to Asia through Avalon.

“We can harvest it today, process it tomorrow and have it in Asia the next day.”

LARA’S Donna Shaw desperately hopes the National Disability Insurance Scheme will give her respite from constant care of 18 year-old daughter, Brodie, who has cerebral palsy.

Ms Shaw said caring for Brodie, running a small business and coping with the disability system changes was “extremely difficult”.

Ms Shaw is one of 22 particpants in an Australian first community-based project, LEAD Barwon, giving NDIS participants a voice on how the new scheme is instituted.

Everyone involved in establishing and adapting to the NDIS faced “learning curves”, she said.

“I wouldn’t say it’s an easy process but the end result will be worthwhile.

“Everyone has to wipe the slate clean and start afresh and that’s really hard for carers and people with a disability but doubly hard for people in the system.”

East Geelong’s Simone Stevens, who also has cerebral palsy, was happy the NDIS would give her an extra 21 hours of care.

She said she hoped having the NDIS in Geelong would demonstrate to the community that people with a disability were not to be feared.

Coalition backs projects

THE Abbott Government has committed to funding regional developments projects left under a cloud after Labor lost office.

Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson said a newly-established Community Development Grants Program would fund $8.1 million worth of local projects.

The program will give $3 million to Geelong Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases and $4.17 million to Golden Plains Food Production and Employment Precinct.

Ms Henderson said stage two of Torquay’s Banyul Warri Fields Youth Recreation and Play Zone would receive $500,000 and $480,000 would go to a Meredith Integrated Community Hub.

the wind farm, which would be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Hydro Tasmania stated earlier this year it would shelve the project if it was unable to secure the backing of 60 per cent of the Bass Strait island community. The project garnered 59 per cent support, prompting the No TasWind challenge.

Work on TasWind could begin in 2017, with the plant operational by 2019.

Hydro Tasmania has been conducting public sessions for King Island residents to hear “what a real wind farm sounds like”.

Acoustic engineering experts presented recordings of turbine noise with calibrated noise levels in different scenarios - close to and far away from turbines, inside and outside homes and under varying weather conditions.

WATTLEPARK AV

A COURT brawl over a proposed giant King Island wind farm to power Geelong has failed to slow a Hydro Tasmania feasibility study into the project.

The Federal Court’s Justice Duncan Kerr has ordered objectors to the wind farm and Hydro Tasmania to determine community support for the facility after the No TasWind Farm Group called for an injunction on the project.

A date has yet to be set for a return to court but Hydro Tasmania said yesterday the $2 billion proposal - a gigantic 200-turbine project to generate 600 megawatts of green power for Geelong via an underwater cable - was proceeding unimpeded.

The TasWind project has sparked anxiety among conservationists about its potential im-

pact on the orange-bellied parrot, which uses the island as a breeding ground.

Independent federal MP Nick Xenophon has also raised concerns about taxpayer costs and additional coal-generated power needed to back up the wind farm.

The facility would harness prevailing Roaring Forties winds to generate enough electricity for up 250,000 houses. The project would create 500 jobs during a two-year construction phase.

Hydro Tasmania spokesperon Sam Meyer said company declined to comment on the court proceedings.

“But there has been no impact on the feasibility study whatsoever. There is no injunction so we’re continuing work.”

The No TasWind lobby has argued Hydro Tasmania lacks sufficient community support for

Shop promises financial Lifeline

By NOEL MURPHY A NEW Lifeline shop on Geelong West’s Pakington St is helping the service fight back against a raft of financial challenges attacking its bottom line.

Lifeline Geelong last month reported a turnaround in its fortunes of almost $100,000 over the past year, putting it squarely in the red as rising wages, costs and expensive new protocols take their toll.

But Graham Rees, the service’s retail general manager in Geelong, said a bump in trade over

the past month could help ease the backward slide.

“Our sales have gone up three per cent after a really slow start to this financial year but that’s indicative of the malaise in the retail industry,” Mr Rees said.

“It’s starting to pick up a bit now but our expenses have gone up - with insurance rates, tip fees and so on.”

Lifeline Geelong has 40 telephone counsellors and another 60 staff working across five shops in Geelong, Drysdale and Colac.

Despite an annual boost of

$50,000 in government funding 18 months ago, the Geelong branch was forced to draw on $40,000 from its reserves to keep afloat this year.

Mr Rees hoped the new Geelong West store would help arrest the downturn.

“It’s one reason we went to Pako. There’s a lot of foot traffic there, a lot of people.

“It’s created a bit of interest and slowly but surely we’re getting more people.”

The new store features brica-brac, crockery, jewellery, clothes, furniture and more at the corner of Maitland St.

Gripes rise by quarter

PUBLIC NOTICES

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

TICKET TICKET GIVEAWAY TICKET GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY

COMPLAINTS to the Energy and Water Ombudsman from the Barwon region have increased almost 25 per cent, according to the organisation’s annual report.

The rise follows an increase of 26 per cent the previous year.

The surge in cases outstripped the Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria’s state-wide increase of 22 per cent over the previous financial year.

The ombudsman received 3584 cases from the Barwon region in 2012/2013, an increase of 880 over 2011/2012. The ombudsman received 74,566 cases statewide.

Geelong produced 3161 cases, Borough of Queenscliffe 37 and Surf Coast Shire 386 compared with 2401, 15 and 288 respectively the previous financial year.

Ombudsman Cynthia Gebert said the state-wide figures highlighted a growing customer awareness of energy and water issues and ongoing systemic problems with company billing systems.

The range of billing-related solar issues emerged as more customers took up solar power, she said.

“Clearly, customers are becoming

more and more familiar with the billing, cost and consequences of the energy and water they use.

“During 2012/2013 we saw this reflected in their concerns about rising costs, affordability, payment difficulties and energy disconnection or water restriction.”

The report said billing accounted for 53 per cent of all issues, an increase of 26 per cent. The top three billing issues were high bills, errors and delays.

The next most common complaint was credit, with 19 per cent more customers raising it as their main issue than in 2011/2012. The top credit issue was energy supply disconnection.

“We believe there’s a strong correlation between the 19 per cent increase in our credit-related cases and the rising cost of energy and water in Victoria,” said Ms Gebert.

Last week’s Independent reported claims from former Surf Coast councillor Ron Humphrey that his investigation of eletricity smart meter billing suggested power retailers were ripping off customers.

Mr Humphrey said the retailers were overcharging as they struggled to read time-of-use data from the new meters.

This year, primary school students from all over Greater Geelong have been working hard to create one of our major Christmas decorations in Central Geelong.

Sands hotel redevelop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;optionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By NOEL MURPHY A PEPPERS hotel at Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Sands estate could be in for redevelopment as the Handbury Group weighs its options over the rejection of plans to turn the building into an aged care facility.

Surf Coast councillors rejected the aged care plan last week, leaving the group without recourse to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

Spokesperson Cameron Grey said the Handbury Group was â&#x20AC;&#x153;still pretty disappointedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that (redevelopment) is potentially an option. We need to work through options but I only say possibly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To a lot of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustration, these things are set up so there are no appeal rights. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot that you can do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no appeal to VCAT, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way that part of the process operates.

The Handbury Group had sought to convert the hotel to a 112-room aged care centre offering low to high-level, respite and general care for the frail and aged.

Estate residents had been worried the plans could affect their access to resort facilities, lower property values and eventually lead to subdivision of the golf course.

Mayor Rose Hodge said council rejected the plans after receiving 200 sub-

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the councillors, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Grey ruled out an appeal to state Planning Minister Matthew Guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty unusual that the minister would get involved in these sorts of things.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Grey said the Peppers hotel was operating as usual under Handbury Group management.

Flood rule â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;jokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Belmont trades on festive spirit

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S council has revoked a planning scheme flood overlay on an Armstrong Creek estate but imposed another on Newcomb, Whittington, Corio and Portarlington.

Cr Bruce Harwood said the growth areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coast estate was no longer considered flood-prone after earthworks including the reshaping of Armstrong Creek. But Newcomb resident and former Bellarine council president Mick Robinson labelled the overlays at Newcomb and Whittington â&#x20AC;&#x153;an absolute jokeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all developed houses in this area.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no actual physical evidence of any flooding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just all on paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here 50 years and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a bloody flood.

Mr Robinson said the overlays imposed â&#x20AC;&#x153;unnecessary expenseâ&#x20AC;? on property owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insurance premiums will go up. If landowners want to subdivide blocks now the expense is unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

BY MICHELLE HERBISON BELMONTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S traders are pioneering a collective Christmas spirit with a series of white elves dancing along High St shop windows this month.

Belmont Business Association treasurer Maree Fennelly said the stick-on elves would rejuvenate the area and attract pre-Christmas shoppers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They start from down at the Belmont Hotel and work their way up High St and into Thomson St,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to look high and low to find them.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Fennelly said shoppers could win a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special treatâ&#x20AC;? if they told Santa the correct total number of elves when he visited for a late-night shopping event on 20 December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we can expand on this and make Belmont a really Christmassy place to shop,â&#x20AC;? she said.

missions, a vast majority objecting to the aged care proposal.

Cr Hodge said the Handbury Group was free to re-apply with a new proposal.

Any appeal to the minister was unlikely to be considered unless it was of a more extensive, regional nature, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished at the moment. We weighed it up and I really think we made the right decision.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly barks on thanks to fund

Keep the

Heat Out!

By NOEL MURPHY

Awnings

Folding Arm Awnings

SECOND BITE: Russell Langfield, right, with recovering surgery patient Kelly and vet Brenton Chambers.

That was early November.

Kelly survived the two lung operations but was unable to breathe when her airway tube was removed. Vets diagnosed larangeal paralysis, requiring another operation.

This week Kelly returned home, almost her normal self again.

“I suspect the soreness from her op is dissipating and her coat is starting to grow back quite quickly,” Mr Langfield said.

“I’m learning to trust her eating and drinking adaption after her laryngeal tieback. She breathes so much easier now.”

Mr Langfield can’t speak highly enough about the Medical Pet Crisis Fund or the vets who saved his dog.

“I’ve had Kelly since she was a pup,” he said.

“It would have been devastating if I’d lost her - my dogs are my family.”

Ms Hunt established Pet Medical Crisis Fund in 2010 after paying for medical procedures to save her own dog from a lifethreatening injury.

The charity helps pensioners and the disadvantaged avoid having to euthanise pets when unable to cover veterinary costs.

Ms Hunt said tax-deductible donations over $2 could be made online at petmedicalcrisisfund. com.au/donations.shtml or by mailing PMCF, PO Box 360, Hawthorn Rd, Caulfield South, 3162.

LARA’S Russell Langfield was so distraught when he learnt his darling girl, Kelly, had a cancerous lump on her lung that he was unable even to recall how old she was.

“Ten or 11 or 12 ... I just can’t think,” he told Pet Medical Crisis Fund.

The fund’s Jennifer Hunt remembered the dog-lover choking back tears.

“Russell has two girls in his life. Kelly the kelpie and Cheeky, a blue heeler who’s going blind,” she told the Independent.

“They all came from Tasmania where the economic downturn meant Russell was struggling to get a job. He’s had a little more luck with working here but is on a low-income pension.”

When Kelly fell ill a little over a month ago - not eating and struggling to get out of bed - Xrays and other tests revealed cancer in both lungs.

Mr Langfield was shattered.

“The only option was to have the two affected lung lobes removed in two major operations but it was very expensive,” he said.

“It would just about break me but I couldn’t not help her. I know she would do the same for me if she could without a thought.”

Kelly faced euthanasia if Mr Langfield was unable to come up with the cash for her operations.

Then he heard about the Pet Medical Crisis Fund, which stumped up some of the money.

Aquifer concern on Colac pipe

Water pressure

By NOEL MURPHY are ENVIRONMENTALISTS anxiously awaiting a Barwon Water report on the effects of tapping an Anglesea aquifer and its impact on nearby swamplands.

Geelong Environment Council president Joan Lindros said State Government had requested the report from Barwon Water.

Ms Lindros was concerned that Barwon Water’s plan for a new pipeline to Colac would put more pressure on local groundwater supplies.

Barwon Water environment committee meetings had heard that taking extra borewater could affect swampland and possibly lower the water table, she said.

“But it’s been nothing definitive yet. We’re concerned to find out the effects of drawing water from borefields – not only on swampland but also on the level of the aquifers themselves because the public doesn’t know how quickly the aquifers are topping up on rainwater versus drawing it out.

“Nobody knows how long to takes and, hopefully, eventually they’ll find out.”

Barwon Water general manager infrastructure services Paul Northey said the Colac pipeline would “only be used when absolutely required”.

“Depending on the scenario, sources such as the borefields

may not be required to supply Geelong,” he said.

“In the event they were, all Barwon Water supply sources are protected by bulk entitlements or licences governing the amount of water that can be taken.”

Mr Northey said Ms Lindros’ concerns about swampland and the water table appeared based on a presentation postulating a “worst-case scenario modelled on 43 years continuous groundwater pumping at a rate of seven gigalitres a year”.

“Modeling means stringent control measures can be developed to protect the surrounding environment, including the Anglesea swampland.”

Teacher in student’s ANZAC steps

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A GEELONG teacher who encouraged one his students to apply for a study tour was so impressed he decided to have a go himself.

Sacred Heart College learning enhancement coordinator Carl Tracey helped Ocean Grove student Jasmine Davis win a place on this year’s Spirit of Anzac study tour.

“Jasmine described it as the best experience of her life and it was the catalyst for me to apply for the position of chaperone on the 2014 tour,” Mr Tracey explained.

“My role at Sacred Heart is to encourage students to take up opportunities to extend themselves outside the normal curriculum.

“It was really rewarding for me when Jasmine was selected, so it’s almost ironic for me to be awarded this honour.”

MEANINGFUL: Carl Tracey and Sacred Heart students in April will take 12 students to significant sites where Australians served in war, including Lemnos, Gallipoli and the Western Front.

Mr Tracey said the tour would have a personal connection because his grandfather and granduncle fought at the Western Front.

“My dad was in the army and I have a brother in the army, so I know it will be an emotional trip but I look forward to learning more about the Anzac spirit that drove them all, It will also allow me to share that with my students and hopefully I can lift the profile of the prize.”

BRANCHING OUT: Betty Colyer and Shirley Rogerson with members of a CWA craft group enjoying their Picture: REG RYAN Christmas lunch. 111001

Women’s work done for CWA “IT’S not all tea and scones,” declares Drysdale Country Women’s Association stalwart Shirley Rogerson.

The long-time committee member suggested people come and see for themselves how the group operated.

“We do lots that people don’t even know about.”

Shirley conceded that the organisation had changed significantly since its inception in 1922 - and the birth of the Drysdale branch in 1948.

“We’re starting a night group for working ladies, often younger working women or women with families,” she explained.

“There’s new groups starting in Lara and Bannockburn.

The CWA has had some traditional ways and we might need to change those a little.

“That’s what the night branches are about - for those who find it difficult to come to the daytime activities.”

Shirely rattled off a few different group activities run by the Drysdale branch outside the nor-

Join the

club John Van Klaveren

mal perception of CWA - choir, music, drama and craft groups “so many different things we can touch upon”.

But she was proudest of the branches’ work in supporting the community, both in-kind and through fund-raising.

The Drysdale branch alone handed over more than $4000 to charities in the past year or so, she said, with beneficiaries including McKellar Centre, Cottage by the Sea, Samaritan House, Geelong Hospital, St John of God Hospital Ann Nichol House, RSL and the CFA. The ladies raise money with events like concerts and catering for other people’s functions, such as small weddings or birthdays.

In fact, the group’s catering convenor, at the age of 94, is a founding member and still going strong.

The craft groups put their skills to good use, knitting, crocheting and sewing to create blankets and rugs and putting together pamper packs for charitable organisations to hand out to people in need.

“It seems to us there are a lot more people in need than when we first started - more homeless, more people who need support.

We try to help everyone,” Shirley said.

But not all CWA benefits were aimed outside the organisation, she stressed.

“The friendship is just wonderful. It gives you something to look forward to each month. t’s not all work - we have a lot of fun.

“We make lifelong friendships and through that there’s always support available if you’re having a down day.”

The region has 12 CWA groups, with clubrooms in Boundary Rd, East Geelong.

Shirley said more information was available by phoning her on 5253 2757 or Drysdale club secretary Joy on 5251 3696.

Solar panel idea for dam surface FLOATING solar panels on Geelong’s water supply at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir could be an an idea worth pursuing, according to Geelong Environment Council.

President Joan Lindros raised the idea in the environment council’s annual report after hearing of similar initiatives overseas.

“Overseas travellers describe large fields covered in solar panels in Germany; why not here?”

“Also reported is the potential for solar panels to be floated on large bodies of water such as Wurdee Boluc reservoir.

“I was told that in Germany paddocks were filled not with crops but with solar panels,” she

said. “It makes us think we’re pretty much behind what others are doing.”

Two Swiss companies have teamed up to build three floating “solar islands” with 100 photovoltaic panels, each 25 metres in diameter.

Barwon Water’s Carl Bicknell said floating solar panels on Wurdee Boluc was technically and economically unfeasible.

“The wave action … makes it impractical, the reservoir is exposed to prevailing winds and this, combined with the shallow depth, creates considerable, uneven chop.”

Mr Bicknell said Barwon Water had investigated installing solar panels at a number of its sites.

“In all instances, the payback period was too long for solar to be a cost-effective option.”

Letters Hello, possums A STORY about black leopard sightings in the 15 November Independent quoted John Turner mentioning acclimatisation societies.

Present-day readers might not have heard of these societies, which were formed in the 1880s and would be unthinkable today.

The members were wealthy and influential men with the aim of transferring animals and plants from one country to another.

They were not imported to be kept in zoos but were released to fend for themselves in the countryside.

These emigrants included deer, hares, rabbits, foxes, monkeys, goats, game birds, salmon, trout, redfin, carp, Indian mynas, starlings and sparrows.

As a result, hordes of monkeys played in the streets of Hobart. But luckily the boa-constrictors died on the voyage to Australia.

Australian animals were also exported by acclimatisation societies overseas. Alas, kangaroos, wombats and kookaburras could not survive in European countries and all died quickly.

However, possums sent to New Zealand flourished. They grew much bigger and developed thick black fur in the colder climate.

The New Zealanders detest them - you will never see skid marks before a dead possum on their roads.

Welfare easy way out GEELONG legal aid’s recently released statistics were a cause of very real concern.

The number of applications for restraining orders for domestic violence had increased, as had the number of breaches in the Geelong area.

What a reflection on our increasingly dysfunctional society!

Legal aid alleges that a major reason for this situation is unemployment and the risk of unemployment. Really?

It might be of interest to readers that there was more social stability at the height of the Great Depression in this country when up to one in three males were unemployed, when unemployment benefits were generally available and when counselling services were largely non-existent.

Unemployment today stands at less than six per cent. Perhaps the lack of respect in relationships in

Congratulations also to runnerup Stephanie Asher who achieved 14.43 per cent of the primary vote.

Her result was perhaps more significant considering that media coverage frequently gave Ken Jarvis a higher profile even though she had polled second to Keith Fagg

I can think of better uses of my time than reading evolutionary fiction.

Mr Saclier’s idea of science - thinking of a very high number and maybe doubling it - is certainly is not mine.

To get back to reality, DNA cannot form without protein and protein cannot form without DNA, which poses the question of when and where did the protein and the DNA originate?

The DNA would also have to be intact and working, which sounds like the Creation model.

Imagine an insurance company rejecting a claim because of an act of the theory of evolution.

United over valley 2013 is tied in large part to the fact we are now a mollycoddled society backed up by a comprehensive social welfare system that provides a relatively comfortable and convenient financial way out - at taxpayers’ expense - for those unprepared to do the hard yards to retain a dignified and stable relationship.

Michael J Gamble Belmont

Further ideas for jobs THERE are opportunities to go further and create jobs in Geelong.

For a start, our city centre is dying. At last count 24 shops were closed, others were closing and many offices were vacant, too. The first thing would be to do away with the $2 an hour parking meters.

Private enterprise should redevelop the waterfront west of Cunningham Pier.

I envision a floating bed and breakfast operation and small boats hired in dedicated areas. A closed and dedicated area for small radio-controlled boats and yachts would support a small canteen at the western side of the pier.

The beachfront east of the yacht club should have specially designed market stalls selling locally made clothes and gifts. Geelong is surely mature enough to build a skyscraper to get life back into our city centre.

The ground-effect flying boats proposed for Geelong would offer quick, cost-effective travel to Melbourne and other bayside destinations and have potential to be locally manufactured for sale to Great Barrier Reef tourism operators, island travel coun-

tries like Indonesia, oil rigs, ambulance services, police et cetera.

Shipping containers could be used to establish businesses for collecting launching fees and selling fishing and boating products at the small boat ramps at Clifton Springs and Limeburner’s Point.

Talks should begin on damming sections of the Barwon River for growing fruit and vegetables - let’s face it, the water just runs into the sea.

Creating questions I WAS impressed that Tim Saclier (Letters, 29 November) searched all the websites I suggested (Letters, 15 November).

He made no mention of Ivan Panin’s website, which tells of the mathematical genius responsible for the way God’s perfect number, seven, permeates the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Men inspired by God wrote the Bible and it is said no human being could ever emulate the way seven was woven into every line. Walter Veith, a South African evolution lecturer, set out to prove God doesn’t exist but failed miserably.

He now lectures on the Bible and lectures on creation.

Carl Baugh, director of America’s Creation Evidence Museum, was instrumental in uncovering human footprints amid a trail of dinosaur prints. Casts of the footprints are on public display.

Robert and David Gentry’s work on polonium halos has shown coal can be formed in a short time.

THE UNDERSIGNED community groups are united in support of amendment C66 to Surf Coast Shire’s planning scheme in relation to Torquay’s western town boundary at Duffields Rd between Great Ocean and Grossmans Rds. Spring Creek valley is a rare and unique part of the coast, providing significant habitat for many birds and animals.

Development of this area would have significant negative impacts on wildlife habitat, remnant vegetation and key waterways.

Stopping development along the valley west of Duffields Rd would protect and maintain the unique character of Torquay and the Great Ocean Road as a worldwide destination and provide a significant green buffer zone between Torquay and Bellbrae.

We are also mindful of a significant risk to human life should this area be developed because it sits within a designated high-risk bushfire area.

C66 confirms that sufficient land supply for future growth is more than adequately catered for.

With development of Torquay north and the Armstrong Creek area, there is no longer any strategic need for the valley to be developed.

We give council our full support to confirm the new town boundaries as defined by amendment C66.

Stages set for 2014 THEATRE-LOVERS are in for a treat, with eight shows from Australia’s most innovative and accomplished theatre companies set to play Geelong Performing Arts Centre in 2014, according to the centre’s general manager.

Jill Smith said the season would mix the classic and contemporary, providing exciting family entertainment.

“We’ve brought together what promises to be a startling season of eight productions that will make you laugh, gasp and even shed tears – possibly at the same time.”

Red Stitch Actors Theatre will kick off the season in March with warm and funny new play Tom Wells’ The Kitchen Sink.

The play’s “not-so-typical family” from the faded Yorkshire seaside resort of Withernsea was described as comical and affecting, putting a “hilarious spin” on bluecollar domestic drama exploring human fragility.

Belvoir and Malthouse Theatre will then perform Simon Stone’s reworking of Nikolai Gogol comedy The Government Inspector.

Stone has taken the 1836 laugh-out-loud show on a madcap turn toward 21st Century Australia, creating an implausible masterpiece.

Shake & Stir Theatre will then bring to life George Orwell’s chilling classic novel 1984 in a new adaptation.

The play explores free thought and liberation, with a radical ruling party rewriting history to align the past with its political agenda, torturing citizens who attempt to take control over their lives.

Geelong will host the only Victorian performances of State Theatre Company of South Australia’s fairy-tale for grown-ups, Little Bird, written by multi-award-winning Nicki Bloom for stage legend Paul Capsis.

Darwin playwright and performer Mary Anne Butler will head south along the Highway of Lost Hearts with her heart-warming story about a woman, a dog, a campervan and 4500km of wide open road.

Oscar Wilde’s much-loved comedy of love, manners and mistaken identity, The Importance of Being Earnest, will feature theatre legend Nancye Hayes in a State Theatre Company of South Australia production.

Circus Oz will then make its long-awaited return to Geelong with an electrifying new show for the whole family.

A killer black comedy will finish the 2014 theatre season – Sondheim musical Assassins, directed by Tyran Parke and featuring a cast led by Nadine Garner.

Ms Smith said more information about the performances, including season and group ticket purchases, was available at gpac. org.au.

GO WILDE: A new production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is among the shows set to light up GPAC next year.

He sounds Swede, bro A UNIQUE style of organ Dustin Tebbutt played in Sweden captured his attention so strongly that after failing to buy one on eBay he bribed a seller to cancel an auction for him.

Being an “eBay rookie” at the time, Tebbutt “got really excited” but left it too late to bid for the $30 organ, he recalled.

“I don’t get angry very often but I just got it into my brain that I really wanted this thing,” he laughed.

“I paid more than it was worth to get it but now I’m very attached to this particular organ because it’s cost me some pain.”

The organ is just one of many instruments Tebbutt keeps in his “hermit-style” music room in Sydney where he creates and records music he describes as “sonic landscapes”.

“It can be really hard work but it’s a great buzz when I get on a roll, especially in the one enclosed space where everything’s there already.”

Tebbutt’s debut single, The Breach, gained plenty of Triple J airplay as an Unearthed track of the week.

His new EP is very much a solo project, with Tebbutt having written, produced and mixed most of the sounds alone.

Tebbutt’s unique brand of indie folk reflects influences including Sigur Ros, Jose Gonzales and Justin Vernon, Northern Hemisphere dwellers with inspirations similar to those Tebbutt experienced during two years in Sweden.

“Creatively, I’ve always had an affinity with the Northern Hemisphere.

I wanted to touch base in that world and see if it was anything like what I thought it would be,” he said of the trip, in which he lived with a friend from Stockholm who he had met in Australia.

“The winter just blew my mind. It was such a sensory experience to feel the cold, the stillness, be present to the softer light - even the noises like the cracking of ice in the lake,” Tebbutt recalled wistfully.

His focus now was to write as much as possible towards a new record and stay focused on making music living up to his own high expectations.

Tebbutt plays Geelong’s Beav’s Bar on 12 December.

Renters’ compensation claims

By SAM HAWKINS, Barwon Community Legal Service IF YOU rent a house or caravan or campsite as your main residence and your landlord or real estate agent has breached their legal duties, you may be able to apply to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) for compensation.

The law imposes numerous duties or obligations on landlords, including keeping the property in good repair and not harassing the tenant.

Different processes need to be followed when making a claim depending on whether you are still residing in or have vacated the rental property.

You are normally required to serve written notice on the land-

FAMILY DAY CARE

Lawyer Sam Hawkins. lord of any breach or problem before you can claim compensation.

Try talking to your landlord or real estate agent to resolve the problem before applying to VCAT. If you believe a breach is evident you must show it has caused you to suffer a loss or substantial inconvenience.

LOOKING FOR CHILD CARE?

An example of substantial inconvenience is when the landlord hasn’t repaired a leaking roof you have notified them of in writing and you cannot use one room as a consequence.

Contact our service if you encounter problems getting repairs done.

If the matter goes to VCAT you will need evidence of your loss or the inconvenience, such as invoices, quotes, valuations, photos and/or witnesses.

You must also be able to explain how you calculated your compensation claim.

Limits on time and amounts claimed apply.

Belmont’s Foot & Leg Pain Clinic is offering a half-price first consultation for readers who mention this article.

“People often assume nothing can be done but, in fact, most conditions are extremely treatable.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics keep up-to-date with latest medical research and treatments while taking a personal, holistic approach to ensure results.

FEET rarely get a second thought but when something goes wrong with them it can be debilitating.

Vital for mobility and balance, feet are the basis of most of physical activity, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common.

But few people know that feet can also affect and cause problems in the rest of the body, including ankles, knees, hips, backs and necks.

Bad foot posture can continually pull the body out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored.

A sports podiatrist with expertise in musculoskeletal issues is the best person to help with any foot and leg pain or discomfort.

Dr David Kavanagh, of Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading podiatry practices for assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues says painful ailments are often endured far too long.

HRVFITNESS celebrates its third anniversary on 13 December.

Over the past three years the gym has established itself as one of the top training facilities in Geelong and different to other gyms in the city.

Owner and operator Tony Harvey has an extensive history in the industry, including roles at various health clubs.

“After working in the industry for so long I decided to start my own gym. I wanted to get rid of the cold, unfriendly, corporate feel the other health clubs had adopted and take it back to basics,” he says.

“Exercise is about having fun and enjoying yourself. We try and make your experience at HRV stress-free and enjoyable.”

Tony says new members walk into a welcoming, inclusive environment at HRVfitness.

“The lovely person on reception will show you around the gym and talk to you about your goals and what you want to achieve by coming to the HRV,” he says.

“When you join, one of HRVfitness’ qualified personal trainers will write you a specific program and show you how to use all the equipment.

Skin checks bulk-billing offer LEADING Geelong plastic surgeon Dr Ian Holten and his team of GPs at Australian Skin Face Body (ASFB) are specifically trained in detecting skin cancers.

Statistics shows at least two in three Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70 but early detection and treatment can save more than 95 per cent.

Dr Holten says skin cancers can be difficult to detect in their early stages, especially to the untrained eye.

“Most melanomas and dangerous skin cancers don’t come from moles. If you’re just having a regular mole check and not having a complete, comprehensive skin check it’s easy to miss a skin

Dr Ian Holten. lesion that could turn nasty,” he advises.

“We see too many people come to the clinic too late. Had they been diagnosed sooner, a wider range of treatment options would be available.”

Skin cancers can appear any-

where on the body, so a full examination is required annually.

“Anyone can develop skin cancer, regardless of their skin colour or general health,” Dr Holten says.

“Having a complete body check up by a doctor trained in skin checks is the best way to detect skin cancer.”

“It’s particularly important outdoor workers, like tradies, have annual checks.”

As a special offer, ASFB is bulk-billing all skin checks until 20 December. Appointments are available by phoning ASFB on 5221 8444 or visiting the clinic at 50 Western Beach Rd, Geelong.

DR CLEAN Air’s Matt McMahon is alarmed about the number of house fires last year caused by neglected evaporative coolers.

Roof-top evaporative coolers have large filter pads that can easily burn, spreading fire from the roof.

“Every winter we’re told about the dangers of heaters causing fires but we don’t hear about air-conditioners, which pose just as much threat,” Matt says.

“Evaporative coolers should be serviced yearly to ensure they run correctly.

Depending on water quality and local conditions, filter pads will eventually need to be replaced. Replacing them improves the efficiency and performance of coolers.

“Failure to replace filters can lead to water passing through into ducting or causing electrical damage, leading to expensive damage and repairs.”

Dr Clean - Matt McMahon.

With summer here and some experts predicting one of Australia’s hottest years on record, Mr McMahon says many households will turn their evaporative coolers on for the first time.

“It’s important safety precautions are followed to prevent the cause of fire.”

CFA’s Alan Hewson warns

that something as insignificant as a dirty air-conditioner has “potential to destroy a whole house”.

Air-conditioners caused 43 house fires in Victoria in 2012.

Dr Clean Air can provide a free quote on replacing an old system with a model of higher efficiency or clean ducting and replace old evaporative vents that become yellow and brittle.

THE BATTLE between Ford and Holden in Australia continues, with the introduction of a small SUV called the Ford EcoSport.

The EcoSport will take on the recently launched Holden Trax, with the even newer Nissan Juke also entering the fray.

All three companies have had many decades experience in the SUV and 4WD fields, but this is the first time they have got into what could be called the ’tiddler’ market.

Ford EcoSport is a visual standout from every angle, inside and out. The distinctive new Ford grille design - called the Aston Martin look by many, but certainly not by those within Ford (at least not publicly) - works ex-

ceptionally well in the new little Ford. The large grille is flanked by slim headlights that reach well back under the clamshell bonnet.

The side view features bold wheelarches, 4WD style sill protection and a high window line. At the rear the glass wraps forward into the C-pillar and is framed at the top by a bold roof spoiler.

Ford has broken the mould by fitting its spare boldly on the rear door. Boot volume is very good.

The out-there styling theme of the EcoSport continues inside the cabin, with bold shaping of the centre console area and the binnacle of the instrument panel. Cost saving is obvious in the thin, relatively hard plastics, but the stylists have partly overcome this by clever embossing of the surfaces.

The little three-cylinder turbopetrol engine is a sheer delight to sit behind. It’s willing at all revs from 1200 to 6000 and the lightweight internals give it a cheeky feel and a pleasing sound. None of which should surprise us as the engine has won its class in the International Engine of the Year awards for the past two years.

Great looks, modest prices and a host of practical features make the all-new Ford EcoSport look like being a winner in Australia.

The Ford EcoSport ranges from the Ambiente 1.5-litre petrol five-door hatch: $20,790 (manual), $22,790 (automatic) to the Titanium 1.5-litre petrol fivedoor hatch: $27,790 (automatic) plus dealer charges.

MACAN MAGIC: A compact SUV that’s undoubtedly Porsche in its shape.

Glint in eye of the tiger

By EWAN KENNEDY PORSCHE Macan is the first compact SUV from the iconic German maker of sports vehicles.

It joins an enormous number of SUVs of about the same size, including those from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. It’s no surprise that it looks to be the sportiest of them all.

Porsche tells us its Macan, “is poised to set new standards in the field of driving dynamics and enjoyment - on both paved streets and uneven terrain.”

The former we have little reason to doubt, but we will have to drive a Macan on uneven terrain before commenting on the latter.

The name Macan comes from the Indonesian word for tiger. Given the current claws-and-all stoush between the Australian and Indonesian governments, the news that the Porsche ’tiger’ is coming to Australia is well timed from a marketing point of view.

Interestingly, Porsche was one of the earliest users of 4WD, indeed may have been the first. In 1900, now 113 years ago, Ferdinand Porsche used an all-wheel-drive system in the LohnerPorsche racing car, which had four electric wheel-hub motors.

There’s a strong family resemblance between the Porsche Macan and its big brother Porsche Cayenne.

The fashionably large grille takes the bulk out of the front, while still giving the Macan a recognisably Porsche bonnet and headlights look.

The sloping roof is probably designed more for cruising at 175 km/h all day than in providing maximum cargo space. While high-speed aero looks are largely wasted in Australia, those who get the chance to visit the Northern Territory can enjoy what’s sure to be a great cruising experience.

Porsche Macan S is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine delivering 250 kW of power. This lets the Macan S accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (5.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package).

These are sportscar numbers, which

probably doesn’t come as a surprise given the Macan’s roots.

European NEDC fuel consumption figures for the Macan S are between 9.0 and 8.7 litres per hundred kilometres. Its CO2 emissions figures range from 212 to 204 grams per kilometre.

The Porsche Macan S Diesel has 3.0-litre V6 engine that puts out 190 kW. Its NEDC numbers are just 6.3 and 6.1 litres per hundred, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 164 to 159 g/km.

Despite the low fuel use Porsche Macan S Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km in just 6.3 seconds (6.1 seconds with the Sport Chrono) on its way to a top speed of 230 km/h.

Porsche says its Macan Turbo will be the most powerful vehicle in the compact SUV segment when it arrives in Australia.

The 3.6-litre V6 twin turbo engine, which is being used in a Porsche for the first time, puts out 294 kW (400 horsepower). It launches the Macan Turbo from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.8 seconds, or just 4.6 seconds when a Sport Chrono package is installed.

Don’t forget this is a compact SUV we’re talking about here, not a lightweight drag-racing coupe.

Every model has Porsche’s sevenspeed double-clutch PDK transmission with shifter paddles for driver overrides.

The latest evolution of Porsche Traction Management (PTM) helps make the best use of the power on offer. Vectoring Plus distributes the ideal levels of drive torque to the rear wheels and works in conjunction with an electronically controlled rear-axle differential lock.

An interesting feature is Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), which continuously adjusts the headlight level in keeping with the traffic ahead and any oncoming traffic.

The new Porsche Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo will arrive in Australia midway through 2014.

Prices and exact specifications will be released closer to that time.

Truck Car Rentals recently expanded its fleet to include 46 seater buses, adding to its 12 and 22 seaters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of schools around Geelong use our services when they need extra buses,â&#x20AC;? Graeme says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of local clubs and groups hire the smaller buses as well as families for get-togethers or outings.â&#x20AC;?

Truck Car Rentals has several enclosed trucks suitable for do-it-yourself removals, requiring only a car licence. A range of light commercials and vans, tray trucks, cars and single-axle trailers for the weekend handyman are also available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our rates are lower during the week so that adds flexibility to small business vehicle requirements,â&#x20AC;?

Graeme says.

IndySport Flying Cats go country bite

On the Brian Long

GEELONG Cricket Club consolidated its position well inside the top eight last weekend with a stirring victory over Casey South Melbourne.

In a Saturday/Sunday fixture, the Cats won the toss and sent their hosts in to bat and at 1/111 would have been wondering whether they made the right decision.

But when Jake Reed (5/54) struck back strongly, the score was a moremanageable 5/137.

Casey South Melbourne put up a brave rear-guard effort to finish the day on 299.

On Sunday Geelong lost in-form opener Khalid Sawas cheaply but James Crosthwaite (146) and Eammon Vines (122 not-out) rallied, both batsmen playing their best innings for the club to put on 244 for the second wicket in just under four hours.

Despite a couple of cheap middleorder wickets, Vines led his side to a memorable six-wicket victory, This Saturday the annual country round takes place, with Geelong playing two Twenty20 matches at Warrnambool against Prahran and Essendon.

Local

cricket Jim Timberlake

After six rounds of play in Geelong Cricket Association, the top six is starting to take shape.

With Murgheboluc losing narrowly last week to East Belmont, the Frogs dropped out of the top six and face a crucial encounter this round against Lara to remain in contention.

Lara will also have a lot to play for after only winning two games so far and will be just as desperate to take the points.

For Murgheboluc, Glen Talarico is starting to repay some of the faith entrusted in him, scoring a dominant 133 not-out last round despite injuring his ankle in the warm-up and having to bat down the order.

For the Cats, returning gun Chris Bambury has shown good form with both bat and ball.

But it appears both sides are relying on too much from too few. The team that can have more of an even spread of contributors will win this game.

Selections: Murgheboluc v LARA, Geelong West v LEOPOLD, North Geelong v GROVEDALE, ST JOSEPH’S v South Barwon, Highton v NEWTOWN & CHILWELL, Geelong City v EAST BELMONT. In division two, the match of the round is clearly the clash between Bell Post Hill and Newcomb & District.

After dropping back from division one this season, the Panthers have been solid, with a good mix of experience and youth taking them to second on the ladder with five wins and just one loss.

The Dinos, on the other hand, have struggled to find their premiership form of last year and are languishing in seventh place on the ladder, making this game real season-on-the-line stuff.

Bell Post Hill will see this as a real chance to bury one of its main premiership rivals and will be fired up to put on a strong performance.

Other selections: Newcomb & District v BELL POST HILL, Alexander Thomson v THOMSON, Guild St Mary’s v MODEWARRE, WAURN PONDS v St Peter’s, MANIFOLD HEIGHTS v Marshall, ST ALBAN’S BREAKWATER v Torquay.

With a mixture of byes and outright results, the division three ladder is as hard to read as ever.

But as usual the cream is slowly rising to the top, while the pretenders are starting to become apparent and drop further away from the top six.

Winchelsea sits in seventh position, although it has had some solid victories, suggesting it’s capable of ebbing at the business end.

Lethbridge sits in eighth and faces a big game against Little River this round to keep its season alive.

But with Little River only sitting in sixth spot itself, it will have too much to play for to let this one drop and should put a huge dent in Lethbridge’s season.

Other selections: WINCHELSEA v Inverleigh, Meredith v BANNOCKBURN, Corio v TEESDALE, North Shore v Shelford, Bell Park bye.

Big hopes for 2014 as tall Cats return fit for training

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CATS coach Chris Scott admits Geelong was low-profile on the freeagency front but is hopeful a couple of recruit-like players will have a big impact next season.

And the operative word is big because having Dawson Simpson and Hamish Mcintosh available could be the difference between being contenders and also-rans.

McIntosh in particular adds experience and maturity to help make up for some of the enormous number of games that walked out of the club at the end of this season.

The former North Melbourne ruckman missed all of last season with recurring leg injuries, while Simpson suffered a knee injury just as he was showing top form.

“We’ve lost some extremely talented players over the last three or four years from this footy club,” Scott said.

“Sure, we’ve got a lot of faith in our younger players but it makes it harder and, combined with the fact that the opposition keeps getting better, we need to get everything right to compete.

“The guys that didn’t play much football last year are in good shape.

“Hamish McIntosh is in full training at the moment. I shouldn’t say at the moment - he’s healthy and going to stay that way.

“Corey Enright and Dawson Simp-

son missed the later stages of the season but they’re pretty much ready to go.”

Scott said power forward Tom Hawkins was undergoing a standard pre-season program without being “managed”, while speedster Travis Varcoe was in full training.

“It is challenging for us. Our list is different, we’ve lost some incredible players, so we’re all going to need to improve but I think that drives us.

“It’s a little different but every year there’s a turnover of players, so hopefully we’ll gain some experience for our younger players with more exposure to AFL football.

“It’s never been more competitive, a number of clubs have made long term investments in their lists. The days of the short-term fix are probably over.

“It seems to me there’s a big group of clubs that have been building for a long time and they’re ready to have their day in the sun.

“The way the system is set up makes it even harder for clubs that have been up in the top four for a long period of time.”

Scott said the older players had returned in good shape and was confident they could develop a solid fitness base before the Christmas break.

Daniel Menzel was back running but Scott warned he still had several boxes to tick “before we even consider match simulation drills”.

Summer sizzles SETTLED conditions last weekend produced some outstanding captures.

Troy Barns fished the 18-metre line directly out from St Leonards where just on daybreak all three reels started to scream. He landed a pair of 3kg each then five minutes later bagged out with a 6.3kg fish.

Nathan Welsh fished the deep water off Arthur the Great for three big snapper and another six from 35cm to 40cm, all caught on soft plastics.

Guy Fogarty caught two fish over 60cm while drifting the Hermsley spoil grounds with soft plastics. Smaller snapper were also present along with pike and quality flathead.

Many boats worked out in front of Mountain View Quarries but anglers who fished well after dark enjoyed the best results. Stuart and Rex Miller caught six snapper over 4kg on Sunday night Chris Pitman landed a fish over 3kg on soft plastic just on sunset, while his mate on board went one better with a ripper around 7kg.

Greg Stevens landed a pair of 2kg-plus snapper from North Shore rocks after dark and his mate Graham Holt caught a similar size pair but on soft plastics.

Garfish began to show inside Corio Bay, with the entrance to Limeburner’s Point boat ramp worth trying.

Snotty trevalla also appeared, with Cunningham Pier productive either early morning or late in the evening for anglers using chicken baits soaked in tuna oil fished just off the bottom.

Peter Sharp drifted just outside of the Clifton Springs mussel leases with blue bait for a nice feed of fish including a couple of reasonable flathead.

Martin Bullen fished Swan Bay’s entrance with a liberal berley trail to catch garfish, leatherjacket, mullet and trevally.

Noel Blundell caught and released seven gummy sharks from fishing Coles Channel, with biggest estimated at 15kg.

Corey Harman walked from St Leonards to Edwards Point casting soft plastics for flathead. He caught six fish, the largest weighing 1.7kg.

Salmon were caught on last weekend’s morning high tides on lures are Cinema Point and Wye River.

In freshwater, Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree at Ballarat produced trout to almost 2kg but Corey Hart trolled in his kayak for three redfin over 1.5kg, all taken on shallow-running Lay Down minnow lures.

Paul McGregor fished Moorabool Reservoir with a small brown nymph fly, landing a pair of brown trout around 1.5kg just on dark.

Frank Miller fished West Barwon Reservoir where he caught small rainbow trout while casting Tassie Devils from the main wall. He also saw plenty of snakes.

This weekend’s tides will be idea for snapper in the bays late in the afternoon and after dark off the quarries, at Bird Rock or Wilson Spit.
