Rail link delay as locals go cold on airport

Avalon turbulence By NOEL MURPHY

HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TAYLOR MADE FOR MUSIC P23

THE LINCHPIN of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic future, Avalon Airport, is under a cloud as broken rail-link promises strike its international ambitions. With 800 Qantas maintenance jobs gone, Jetstar flights to Brisbane halted and Geelong patronage down from 60 to 20 per cent of total passenger traffic, the airport is battling to fulfill its potential as regional transport hub. Labor Member for Lara John Eren this week attacked the Napthine Government for failing to spend $50 million it commit-

ted to a building a rail line into the airport. The Government promised to spend the money in its first term, which ends in November. It will instead spend $5 million on planning. Mr Eren urged the Government to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go back to the drawing boardâ&#x20AC;?, be â&#x20AC;&#x153;realisticâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;not make promises (it) will breakâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;International carriers, like any multimillion dollar business, would want assurance from government, a trust in the government, that their money wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be wasted if they make an investment in Avalon,â&#x20AC;? Mr Eren said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business case from Avalon that needs to be put and I think it has a great memorandum of understanding with a China airline at the moment, plus Jetstar and other possibilities, but you need truth from the State Government about assistance, not airy-fairy, piein-the-sky promises like the rail link and not keeping promises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avalon is too important for Geelong. They better make sure they get this right.â&#x20AC;? Committee for Geelong chairman Dan Simmonds expressed concern about the decline in Geelong patronage.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the outset, 60 per cent of Jetstar passengers departing from Avalon resided in the Geelong region but this figure has now reduced to something like 20 per cent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Geelong wishes to keep Avalon functioning it must heed the warning evidenced by these figures that it must provide greater support to Jetstar in its operations from Avalon.â&#x20AC;? Mr Simmonds said Avalon was crucial to Geelong. Continued page 5

AMID all the aggro directed at Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s illfated visit to Geelong this week was at least one speck of humour. Geelong’s Trades Hall dispatched a flyer alerting comrades to the pending arrival of their nemesis, seeking a big turnout to protest the PM’s presence at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. “Budget smuggler”, cried the leaflet around an image of Speedoes overflowing with paper moolah. But after Mr Abbott’s noshow, it was Trades Hall left holding the budgie. FANS of old-style pinball machines might like their characteristic sound but it made an Indy ad rep come a cropper this week. He was on the landline about to close a sale to a prospective client when his mobile phone went off.

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au

This would normally be no issue except he’d just changed the ringtone to, yes, the sound of a pinball machine – and set it to full volume. The rep’s still trying to ring the client back. A pinball wizard he’s certainly not. THE CHANGING face of Geelong, with iconic long-standing names and landmarks disappearing, has inspired a bout of nostalgia from one of the city’s hardened politicians. Federal Member for Corio Richard Marles said new Shell refinery owner Vitol recently assured him the facility’s highlyvisible smoke stack, with its red and white bands, would be retained. “As a child, whenever we returned from long trips away from Geelong, being able to see that stack said that we were home,”

he reminisced to parliament. Truly a sight for sore eyes. CATS GIANT Tom Hawkins proved an affable subject this week when interviewed on a Channel 31 rev-head program as it filmed at a rural car show. Standing around a vehicle on display as other patrons wandered in and out of shot, the host subjected Tomahawk to a brief questionnaire about all manner of subjects. Big Tom was able to impersonate a crow and knew who wrote Waltzing Matilda all right but drew a blank on the first two lines of Australia’s national anthem, explaining he’d only just sung Advance Australia Fair with mates but was encountering a momentary mental block. Hope he’s better-prepared in front of the camera this Friday night if he has to sing another anthem.

Costa douses sale talk By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG fresh produce king Frank Costa has fended off reports his family’s $1 billion empire is being primed for sale. The giant Costa Group was considering several options post-2017, he told the Independent this week. The group, the biggest fresh-food supplier to Woolworths and Coles, was undergoing a period of growth but keeping its options open, Mr Costa said. US firm Paine & Partners bought a 50 per cent stake in the company under a five-year plan struck in 2012. The remaining 50 per cent is split between Mr Costa, who chairs the company, and brothers Robert and Anthony.

Costa Group employs 7000 people and exports 20 per cent of its produce. “The decision was made to build the business over five years with acquisitions and expansions and then we’d decide whether we buy back or buy more shares or go public,” Mr Costa said. “No decision has been made.” Financial observers argue the company would go to an offshore buyer if sold. Commentators such as Alan Kohler have claimed the Costas are committed to exiting the group in 2017 but Mr Costa was non-committal. “That could be a bit of overkill. That’s just one of the options available,” he said. “We have really good manage-

ment, our CEO is really good, the business is running really nicely.” Mr Costa, aged 76, said he would assess his personal future according to his health. “It would be a big call for us to sell up and get out,” he said. “It would need strong deliberations by the three brothers. It will be a family decision. Mr Costa returned from overseas last week after a business trip with wife Shirley to New York and Paine & Partners’ annual general meeting. Mr Costa and late brother Adrian founded The Costa Group in 1961 when they bought their father’s greengrocery, Covent Garden. By the mid1960s they were supplying Coles and

Woolies in Geelong and eyeing pastures further afield. As the supermarkets steadily expanded through the 1970s so did the Costa fortunes. The group is now Australia’s largest private produce grower, marketer and exporter. Mr Costa laughed off suggestions a sale to an offshore buyer might damage the national deficit but said Australia’s agricultural future lay in farm consolidations, greater produce varieties and exports to Asia. He said Chinese efforts to finance Australian agricultural projects should be granted greater support, arguing they could elevate agribusiness to a “whole other level”.

MPs urge ‘positivity’ as more Ford job losses loom By NOEL MURPHY

Christchurch work GEELONG workers will help rebuild New Zealand’s Christchurch on a mining-style fly-in-fly-out basis, a labour-hire firm has revealed. Programmed Integrated Workforce said it would recruit and deploy the workers through Avalon Airport to work four-week-on-four-week-off shifts in the earthquake-ravaged city.

Bus stops A PASSENGER shortage will end a bus service ferrying revellers home from Geelong’s nightclub precinct, according to City Hall. City Hall’s Steve Bentley said the nine-year-old Central Geelong Nightbus would cease operations on 1 June due to low patronage “on a regular basis”.

Carbon capers THE only facility researching carbon fibre and making products from the same material has officially opened at Waurn Ponds, Premier Denis Napthine has announced. He said Carbon Nexus, at Deakin University, would “drive advanced manufacturing in Victoria and strengthen Geelong’s reputation as a hub for innovation”.

Theatre sale LORNE’S iconic theatre has passed in at auction, with up to eight potential buyers now negotiating a private sale. Real estate agent Shaun Venebles said the art deco theatre plus four retail shops should sell for just over $2 million.

FORD and Federal Liberal MPs have embarked on a charm offensive ahead of 120 job cuts set for the auto-maker’s North Geelong plant next month. Coalition MPs on a post budget “positivity” campaign this week restated the company’s ambition to be the country’s biggest auto employer after a series of large-scale job culls in the industry. Member for Corangamite Sarah Henderson and the Industry Minister’s parliamentary secretary, Bob Baldwin, visited Ford’s You Yangs proving ground to publicise “some wonderful capabilities in innovation, research, science and advanced manufacturing on which we can and must build”. They inspected vehicle and wind-tunnel testing for a Ford Everest prototype. Ford Geelong sources told the Independent this week that 20 workers had “put their hands up” for redundancy packages to be available on 20 June. They expected a further 100 to also leave. The latest round of sackings precede the anticipated 2016 closure of Ford manufactuing in Geelong and follow its worst-ever financial performance, a loss of $267 million last year, amid plummeting sales. The 120 Ford jobs will go weeks ahead of another 800 sackings at Alcoa’s Point Henry complex. Ms Henderson was at pains to stress the positives amid the job cuts. “I know that for many who have lost their job this has been a very tough time. That’s why it’s so important to promote our regional capabilities, which will help attract new businesses and new jobs to our region. “After ending manufacturing, Ford will continue to employ 1500 people in Australia, with 190 at the You Yangs proving ground and 300 at the Geelong research and development centre.”

‘Riot’ stopped visit, says Pyne A “RIOT” threat forced Prime Minister Tony Abbott to cancel a Geelong visit this week, a minister has revealed. Christopher Pyne said police had provided advice that students planned to riot when he and Mr Abbott attended the official opening of a research centre at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus on Wednesday. Mr Pyne said the cancelled visit followed student violence against Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop and former

Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella at separate events in the previous week. “The advice form the Australian Federal Police was that the students are planning a riot at Deakin University,” he told ABC radio. “We didn’t want to put innocent bystanders at risk because university students want the Australian taxpayer to pick up the full cost of their education.” Mr Pyne said the police advice did

not use the word ‘riot’ but he considered it an accurate description following the violence against the two Liberal women. Mr Pyne, Education Minister, suggested police might have found evidence supporting the riot advice on social media. Students had used “inflammatory language” against Mr Abbott, himself and others on Twitter and Facebook, Mr Pyne said. He also implicated far-left political

group Socialist Alternative in the visit cancellation. “Peaceful protests are entirely part of our democracy but the studnts so far and the Socialist Alternative have proven themselves incapable of doing that.” Labor’s shadow environment and climate change minister, Mark Butler, accused Mr Pyne of a “slur” against students for suggesting they planned to riot but said protests “must be kept peaceful”. Mr Abbott had also been scheduled

Avalon ‘needs local support’

Taxi operator battles shire switch to buses By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN BANNOCKBURN’S taxi operator has lodged a complaint with his industry regulator after Golden Plains Shire replaced his services with a volunteer-driven community buses. Bannockburn and District Taxis director Stan Smith said he recently bought a $79,000 wheelchair-accessible vehicle expressly for the shire’s clients only to have his contract terminated after 10 years’ service. Mr Smith said his 10-seater maxi cab was now idle most days, affecting his business “significantly with much-reduced weekly income”. He said the loss of work had also forced him to reduce his driver’s hours. “Golden Plains Shire is using two vehicles to continue this work, using volunteer non-accredited drivers without the relevant experience in transporting wheelchair clients or using the equipment for them safely,” Mr Smith said. He was concerned arrange-

ment might breach regulations and compromise passenger safety. Mr Smith said he believed the use of non-accredited drivers was against Taxi Services Commission regulations. He said the new arrangement worked out dearer for passengers because older clients could no longer use their taxi cards, which had given them half-price cab fares. Mr Smith cited a Golden Plains Shire fee schedule charging community transport clients up to $72 for a trip longer than one and a half hours. “It’s costing the individual passenger more and the shire is making money, charging that for each person in a 12-seater. “We would do a 220-kilometre round trip costing an average of $400, which is around $40 per person, yet they cancelled my contract because they said they were trying to cut costs.” The Independent was unable to obtain comment from Victorian Taxi Services Commission and Golden Plains Shire before going STALLED: Stan Smith with his idle new taxi and its wheelchair hoist. 120770 to press.

“A functioning Avalon Airport and in fact an expansion of the services being conducted from Avalon is an essential part of Geelong’s future. A component of a successful second-tier city includes having access to such a facility.” Avalon chief Justin Giddings said the rail line was crucial to Avalon’s development and important to international players. But as long as the project was “in the pipeline” the rail delay was not a major issue, he said. Mr Giddings considered criticism of the delay “a little bit unfair” given the suspension of Tiger flights in 2010, a reduction in Jetstar activity airport and the impact of Ford and other shutdowns on Avalon. “I’m okay where it’s at,” he said. “We need to really prove to them it will be value for money. “It’s chicken and egg when you look at demands on the budget and putting in a rail link when there’s just five flights. They’re moving forward but we need get more international and domestic flights in before we get rail - you have to be realistic. “As for the budget, it’s not like it has to be in there. The last thing we want is to have it in, not enough flights and people jumping on it.”

Feedback for council:

Truck trial ruins lives â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our house literally vibrates at times. There is literally no let-up in truck noise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not talking about general traffic noise but truck after truck after truck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The constant noise has destroyed our peace. Even though we double glazed our bedroom windows we have been forced to move to another bedroom to the back of our house.â&#x20AC;? Mr and Mrs McGarigle said the increase in truck traffic also prompted safety concerns, with trucks speeding to catch a green light at the Ormond Rd intersection. They said trucks also used extra lanes to make turns, cutting off cars. Badly maintained drainage meant water often spread across McKillop St on rainy days, with trucks creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;massive water washâ&#x20AC;?, they said. The Independent reported last week residents of the eastern end of McKillop St voicing concerns the trial diverted trucks into their neighbourhood traffic area.

Coles, K-Mart create 350 jobs in expansion NEW Coles and K-Mart stores have opened with 365 jobs as part of a Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre expansion. Phase one of the $90 million shopping centre expansion officially opened on Wednesday after 12 months of construction, a joint venture between Australian Unity and Coles. The new Coles superstore

will introduce 3500 new product lines to be the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest supermarket in the region. The new supermarket will include kitchenware, babywear, fashion and party supplies. Additional outlets opening as part of the expansionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first phase include Coles Express

INCREASED truck traffic is â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifechangingâ&#x20AC;? for residents of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McKillop St, according to a retired professional couple who have lived in the area for 62 years. Pam and Geoff McGarigle have responded to City Hall requests for feedback on its controversial trial of new city truck routes, protesting the ban on trucks using Malop and Mercer Sts. The McGarigles said they had always coped with general traffic levels, which had changed â&#x20AC;&#x153;dramaticallyâ&#x20AC;? following the start of the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now on a daily basis, particularly early morning, midday and late afternoon, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constant stream of trucks ranging from small, double, very large, long transports, tankers and drivers in trucks under instruction.â&#x20AC;? The couple said the noise from air brakes, inadequately maintained â&#x20AC;&#x153;screechingâ&#x20AC;? brakes, revving engines as trucks race through traffic lights and rattling empty trailers was â&#x20AC;&#x153;intolerableâ&#x20AC;?.

By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG City Hall staff are smarting from a mayoral dressing down as advertisements for a new business-savvy $500,000 a year chief executive officer hit situations vacant columns. Mayor Darryn Lyons came under attack from the Australian Services Union after calling in last week’s Independent for City Hall bureaucrats to stop putting up barriers against potential investors in Geelong. But the ads for the new chief have called for an entrepreneurial, commercially-minded executive who will potentially overhaul City operations. “This role will conduct a review of the organisation, identifying efficiencies, considering more commercial approaches to current service delivery models whilst also exploring new partnerships and revenue channels,” the advertisement said.

* CLOSED CAPTIONS AVAILABLE

1136377-EG21-14

The advertisement referred to a “step change” to ensure City Hall was “highly responsive” to the “needs and aspirations” of Geelong residents. “Promoting a culture of proactiveness, council will see improved capital program completion rates and an increase in ‘shovel ready’ projects, all underpinned by a supportive partnership with council,” the ad stated. “A highly successful senior executive, you bring exceptional leadership and relationship management skills enabling you to relate to all levels of seniority across community, government and industry.” Cr Lyons has told the Independent the next chief executive officer, on pay as high as $500,000, would need to “take quick action” against the City Hall culture. “Either that or it’s a waste of time me being mayor. I want change for the people who voted for change. All the departments

have to work hard and deliver exceptional customer service. “We have to take on our opportunities with both hands or they’re straight out the back door.” Former chief Stephen Griffin vacated his $320,000 job for the same role at State Emergency Service. His resignation followed other senior departures including general manager of corporate services Jeff Wall and former planning strategy and economic development manager Terry Demeo. Australian Services Union lashed out at Cr Lyons’ comments in last week’s Independent, accusing him of “pop-gun outbursts that have absolutely no basis”. “If business is scared away from the town, it’s because the mayor has his strategy wrong,” union assistant secretary Richard Duffy said.

Taxi marshals set to ‘capture info’

Something we need to address... behind closed doors. Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in Australia.

FUNDING: Paula Kontelj.

NEW technology will capture passenger “information” at taxi ranks in Geelong, according to MP David Koch. The Member for Western Victoria said the portable technology would allow taxi rank marshals to enhance safety at the ranks in the city centre. The marshals would also be able to electronically document taxi information, he said. State Government has granted

Geelong $30,000 to introduce the technology. Mr Koch said the funding would build on $17,000 for taxi rank surveillance cameras three years ago. Liberal candidate for Geelong Paula Kontelj welcomed the initiative. The funding would go “a long way to improving community infrastructure,” she said.

COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED THE CITY OF GREATER GEELONG’S DRAFT 2014-2015 BUDGET The average residential rate increase of 4.5 per cent is one of the lowest in Victoria. The increase equates to an extra $1.12 per week on the average residential property. The budget includes a record $132.3 million capital program and total operating expenditure of $291.9 million. The 2014-2015 budget invests heavily in job creation projects, the revitalisation of Central Geelong and maintenance of community assets.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS AT A GLANCE

FOSTERING NEW JOBS A major focus of the budget is funding that helps foster new jobs. There is record funding for Enterprise Geelong, the Council’s economic development unit. The Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct receives a total of $4 million to develop land for sale to new businesses. Funding is allocated for Infectious Emerging Diseases, and investment strategies to attract new businesses to Central Geelong and increase Geelong’s share of the national conference and convention market.

Average residential rate increase equates to $1.12 per week $7 million for Central Geelong revitalisation projects

A MAJOR BOOST FOR CENTRAL GEELONG

$15.3 million for road maintenance and upgrades

A vibrant Central Geelong is a key priority of Council. The 2014-2015 Budget commits $7 million for City centre capital projects.

$13.5 million on recreational facilities

There is funding to provide more support to the Central Geelong Taskforce, more street trees and floral plantings, an expanded park and ride service and investigation into a city loop bus service.

Massive $132.3 million capital program Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct $4 million

Other initiatives include major new street and tree lighting projects to make the city more appealing, safer and more accessible not just at Christmas, but all year around.

Family and community hubs $12.6 million Aged services $22.1 million

There is $1 million for streetscape works in Myers Street and $3 million has been allocated to Geelong Advancement Fund, subject to securing matching funding from the State Government.

Family services $21.3 million Parks and reserves maintenance $7.6 million

Parking meters will be upgraded with new smart meters that provide more flexible payment options.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

Funding for road construction and upgrades has increased this year with $15.3 million allocated to road works across the municipality. $5.7 million has been allocated to drainage design and construction including works to prevent flooding in key areas.

The 2014-2015 budget responds to community needs. Our engagement with the community made it very clear that the revitalisation of Central Geelong and the Geelong economy are top priorities for residents in the City of Greater Geelong.

$14.6 million has been allocated to landfill works including construction of a new cell at Drysdale landfill and rehabilitation works at the former Corio landfill site.

CARE TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT BUDGET AND CITY PLAN?

COMMUNITY HUBS AND SERVICES $12.6 million is allocated to build major community hubs including stage one of the Leopold Community Hub, Windsor Park Early Learning Centre, Grovedale Children’s and Community Centre, and the Barwon Heads Early Learning Centre. A total of $22.1 million is allocated to aged services and a further $21.3 million for family services.

The City did extensive community engagement when we developed our four year plan City Plan 2013-2017. This plan underpins this year budget.

The 2014-205 Budget has been adopted as a draft and is now available for public submissions. You can view a hard copy of the draft at each of the City of Greater Geelong’s Customer Service Centres.

GEELONG LIBRARY AND HERITAGE CENTRE

HOW DOES THE BUDGET AFFECT MY RATES?

The budget provides $20.1 million for construction of the iconic Geelong Library and Heritage Centre. The new centre will not only provide access to information through a traditional book collection and via the latest multi-media platforms, it will serve as a community hub in the centre of Geelong.

The residential rate rise equates to an increase on the average rates bill of $58.50 in the year. The rate rise of 4.5 per cent is in keeping with the Council’s long term plan and remains one of the lowest rate rises on any Victorian Council. Council provides minimum rate increases whilst maintaining funding of service delivery consistent with community expectations. The Council determines how much revenue it needs by preparing an annual budget.

Chinese customers at risk

Dongle despair By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A FYANSFORD IT business stands to lose valuable international customers because it’s unable to obtain a broadband connection. Greg Dale, of Easy As PC, has up to 100 Chinese clients keen to have a retail website presence in Australia to sell their products. But he has to do all the work using a six GB Wi-Fi dongle that lasts less than two weeks before he has to recharge it at a cost of $49. “Time frame is a big issue when it comes to internet access and if I can’t get the connectivity I need I may end up losing clients,” Mr Dale said. He and wife Cathie Smith also home-school their son, Tyler, which they said was becoming in-

Monte Carlo

creasingly difficult because of the internet limitations. “So much of the home school curriculum is YouTube-based and we just can’t do it because it’s so expensive,” Mr Dale said. “We’re chewing through eight GB in just days and have to recharge. We rang everyone trying to get internet access and everywhere we got a blunt no. “They all blamed a lack of ports and offered to put us on a waiting list. There are no plans to upgrade and unless someone drops off we have no hope. “We’re meant to be pushing for new businesses in Geelong but with connectivity the way it is how are businesses going to set up? “You can’t do it without internet access. It’s a joke.”

Mr Dale said the previous tenants of the house had internet access. “We were in Highton before here and we couldn’t get it there either and had to use Wi-Fi. “It’s become a necessity of life because so many services expect you to be able to connect but the government has no interest in helping out.” The Independent has recently reported a series of local issues related to inadequate internet connections in Geelong, including impacts on investment opportunities. Geelong councillor Rod Macdonald launched a Broadband for Geelong campaign, seeking feedback through council’s website on connection issues around the region.

COPS OUT: The rally in Geelong on Tuesday.

PUBLIC NOTICES CENTRAL GEELONG NIGHTBUS TO FINISH OPERATING

State brushes off ‘alarmist claims’

The Central Geelong Nightbus will cease operation of all four routes after the Sunday 1 June 2014. The service will continue in its current capacity until this date. The Safe Taxi Rank located in Moorabool Street will still operate on a Saturday night / Sunday morning providing safe and reliable transportation home from Central Geelong.

Cops rally in park

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN OFF-DUTY police have taken a “big step” to rally against staff shortages in the Geelong region, according to their union. About 200 people attended the Johnstone Park rally on Tuesday. Police Association secretary Ron Iddles said communities were “being shortchanged by wafer-thin frontline police numbers at a time when they need all the support they can get”. “Geelong is a community under stress caused by economic changes and rapid population growth. It does not need the extra and unnecessary stress of being underpoliced. “Despite the fact that 1300 extra police positions have been created in Victoria since 2010, the number of first-response police officers attached to police stations in greater Geelong has actually decreased since this time. “To the people of Geelong this means less security, more vulnerability at a time when the city is in transition, a time when they need encouragement, not neglect. “It means fewer patrols, on occasions none at all. The reassuring presence of a marked police vehicle or an officer on the

WATCHING THE DETECTIVE: Police Association Secretary Ron Iddles addresses members and others in the crowd. 120747 Pictures: REG RYAN street is becoming rarer and rarer in Greater Geelong.” Mr Iddles said police also suffered as they were continually asked to do more with less. “We’re gravely concerned about the impact on our frontline members. Stress levels are high, causing frustration to build, sick leave is more frequent, placing more pressure on fewer police. “The vicious cycle continues.” The rally condemned plans to turn

Bellarine Peninsula police stations into “virtual shop-fronts, resulting in severely weakened police presence”. State Government hit back at the “alarmist claims” on local police resources. A spokesman said the Coalition Government had given the region about 60 additional police. “The Government is delivering on its commitment to build a new $15.6 million 24-hour police station in Waurn Ponds, providing a permanent police presence south of the Barwon River. “This new police station will see police numbers in Geelong and Surf Coast increase by around 90 by the end of year.” The spokesperson said the Government had delivered Victoria “the largest crime fighting budget in history” for 2014/2015. Police funding would increase to $2.4 billion, up 6.7 per cent on the previous year. The spokesperson said the police chief commissioner was responsible for allocating resources. The commissioner had increased staff at divisional levels, so comparing staffing in stations “portrays an inaccurate and misleading picture of police numbers within police service areas”, the spokesperson said.

Buckets& Bouquets

BOUQUETS to a man who raised his voice during a Stand Up hip-hop performance at Geelong Performing Arts Centre, saying: “I was having a good view until people started standing and blocking me out”. The show had a message for you: respect. We didn’t mean to obstruct your view. Enjoyed The Show, Port Melbourne BOUQUETS to Newcomb Secondary College’s senior band for its splendid Anzac Day performance at Ocean Grove. The college must be so proud of its talented students and is so lucky to have two excellent band leaders. Proud Nan, Newcomb BUCKETS to an abusive idiot who pranged into mum’s car at the Pakington Strand Woolworths car park then violently blamed her for parking crookedly. The idiot towered over her, saying: “Well, what did you expect”. She was shaking when she got home. Bouquets to mum, a blessing to our family. Disgusted, Newtown BUCKETS to a fresh produce vendor who asked an elderly woman haemorrhaging from a leg injury after a fall to move on because she was leaving blood outside the shop. She then insisted the victim’s companions clean up the mess as they awaited an ambulance. Very Sad, Corio BUCKETS to Bob Thompson (Letters, 16 May). If you have the solution to the city’s parking woes, why didn’t you stand for mayor? At least with free parking on the weekend the city parking precinct is now full. Stop Whining, Geelong

BOUQUETS to Australian Croatian Association Geelong, particularly Tm and Alana and all the staff for their wonderful service during our recent 60th wedding anniversary. We greatly appreciated your efforts and were so glad we had our function at your venue. F and M, Bell Post Hill

BUCKETS to a charity collector who banged on my door on Sunday. I asked whether he could knock louder. He said some elderly people couldn’t hear him. He said a few more things and was still going on as he left. He was also rude to others in my court. Kids Missed Out, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to Karen and Michael of Ray White Corio. They were polite, courteous professionals who gave an honest appraisal of my home. Robert, Corio BUCKETS to neighbours. I also received a nasty letter about my dogs barking (Buckets & Bouquets, 16 May). The letter was cowardly, left overnight, and full of aggressive language. My dogs are inside day and night. They are 11 years old and do nothing but sleep. Offended, Ocean Grove

Library cuts misguided

On borrowed time INCREASED borrowings by City of Greater Geelong can only mean increased charges for services and an inevitable increase in residential property rates. Toss out all sitting councillors at the next local government election. They are a waste of time and space. All they do, historically, is rubber stamp decisions made by massively overpaid bureaucrats. Michael J Gamble Belmont

STORM TROOPER: Geelong mayor Darry Lyons at a recent Cats match. Picture: REG RYAN

Frankly, he has mandate GIVEN the mandate he received and what appears to mirror Keith Fagg’s white-anting and subsequent demise from a similar support base, mayor Darryn Lyons is to be applauded for playing one of the few cards he holds, public frankness (Independent, 16 May). While Geelong’s popularly elected mayoral model leaves the incumbent wedged between a rock and a hard place, a culture of cosy reticence and rusted-on political divides will continue to flourish if unchallenged and in the process stymie an open-for-business forum. Much will depend on the calibre and character of City of Greater Geelong’s next chief executive officer, who will need to be a dynamic, transparent, people person prepared to roll the dice within the Local Government Act as someone entrepreneurial and demanding of accountability. That said, in the interim and into the future Cr Lyons’ mayoral mandate suggests he is entitled to stay on the front foot and name City staff on big ratepayer bucks and councillors who aren’t fairdinkum in their support of sensible projects and the realisation of investor initiatives that offer employment opportunities for the locals.

Central obsession AGAIN the interests of the Bellarine Peninsula are being put aside while nearly all of the City of Greater Geelong’s efforts and thinking go toward the problems of central Geelong. Should we just be thankful for the few crumbs we receive under the present arrangements while the city of Geelong feasts on our rates? Will the Bellarine Peninsula ever get the council it desperately needs to deal with its planning vacuum? Will we ever get our own council to provide the necessary focus to deal with the dramatic population growth of this area? Or do we continue to blunder on as at present? Peter Cowden Clifton Springs

Fracking forgotten

Expensive education

LAST week’s Geelong council meeting created concerns among several attendees when a lack of policy regarding coal seam gas (CSG) mining was revealed. Council sustainability and environment portfolio holder Andy Richards said “a number of people (had) highlighted this oversight” since submissions closed on council’s draft environment management strategy in February. Considering petroleum exploration permit

NOW I know why Tony Abbott wants to raise the retiring age to 70. With higher-education fees going up by an estimated 286 per cent for some courses, graduates will need to spend this long in the workforce to pay off their university fees. Alan Barron Grovedale

WHY HAS Geelong’s council substantially cut funding to Geelong Regional Library Corporation, a smart and vibrant community asset highly valued by its 104,000 members and other library users? Council’s recurrent funding of the library, with its extensive network of branches and services, provides council with the opportunity to clearly demonstrate that its strategic directions and priorities are not confined to the city centre. Such funding would also help council deliver on its commitment to enhance the wellbeing of creative and connected communities and surely it is essential for council to meet its own specific 2014/2015 targets for increased library visits, a three per cent increase in library memberships and a five per cent increase in library E-collections. How is the library, which is funded 80 per cent from council contributions, our rates, expected to meet a shortfall of $203,730? Does Council propose co-payments for library users to access this popular and innovative community service, reduced library staff and/or closure of mobile-library services? Rather than cut library funding there are of course other funding options for council to consider in the budget review process, such as trimming the $2 million cost of the Christmas tree and scaling back the $500,000 salary package for the next chief executive officer. Hopefully common sense and good governance will prevail and council will reinstate the library’s funding so it can maintain social and cultural services for people of all ages and interests across City of Greater Geelong.

PEP163 was issued in 2002, it is concerning that council has preferred to remain uninformed about the dangers of CSG mining over the past 12 years while exploration wells have been drilled throughout Victoria. To his credit and without prompting, Cr John Irvine indicated he was well-aware of the dangers CSG posed to the community and that he would oppose it in council. While Cr Richards and mayor Darryn Lyons indicated they were personally against CSG mining, they gave no indication they were committed to maintaining this position. It is feared that once drilling rigs begin arriving in the Geelong region sometime next year to commence fracking it will happen without any prior warning and will be too late to stop because the community and council have failed to become informed about the threat CSG poses to their welfare. The time for research, debate and a positional statement is now. If other councils have already made their stand against fracking, why can’t Geelong’s do the same? Alan Manson Grovedale

ADVERTORIAL

Home cooked goodness – home delivered FINDING the time to cook a nutritious meal every night can often be challenging. Then you need to have a seemingly endless list of ideas to keep the meals ‘new’ and not ‘boring’. If you are finding it testing to come up with a healthy meal options every night, why not freshen up your ideas in the kitchen by calling on the team at Choice Fresh Meals? For almost two decades, the Company has been keeping people well fed without the hassle of preparation, providing meals in our community to: • Seniors who need our meal service to allow them to remain independent

“I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said. “The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of meals… everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose from.” “They have a Summer menu, Winter menu, Autumn menu, Spring menu and a Christmas menu as well, so it is very easy”.

• Busy professional people who don’t have the time to prepare nourishing food

Apart from main evening meals, Jack and Mavis also take advantage of the dessert options three nights a week.

• People with an ongoing illness who are unable to cook for themselves.

“We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said.

A couple who have taken advantage of the service Choice Fresh Meals offers are Jack and Mavis Kennedy. Both 86, the couple decided to try out Choice Fresh Meals after Mavis had heard good reports from friends.

“It’s conveniently delivered for us Choice Fresh Meals also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s Jack and Mavis haven’t looked back since joining Choice Fresh Meals last years. a nice break.

Taylor made for fame By SAM BRIMACOMBE CERES’ Taylor Henderson is coming home six months after wowing audiences and capturing Australian hearts on TV’s X- Factor. The 21-year-old said he was thrilled about bringing his first national tour to Geelong after months on the road promoting his number-one debut album, released in November. “I’m just constantly flying from one side of Australia to the other - there isn’t a state I haven’t seen,” he enthused. “I’m just so excited to finally come home and play. I can’t wait to be back in Geelong.” Henderson said his new-found fame was overwhelming, humbling and sometimes scary. “I find it so weird,” he laughed. “When I walk off the plane [interstate] there are just all these fans waiting for me. It’s crazy. “I’m, like, ‘What are you guys doing?’ and they’re here to see me.” Despite performing everywhere from Melbourne’s famous tram car restaurant to Channel 7’s Sunrise program, Henderson said playing in Geelong would be unique experience. “It’s going to be a more-intimate vibe at GPAC. I think it’s a bit scary, seeing familiar faces.” Henderson said he never considered music a future career. In his final high school years he focused on design, specifically architecture, and maths.

“At school I didn’t do any music classes - I was looking at being a builder. “I didn’t give up on music but I wanted to work hard. I always left things to the last minute. “If I had something due I’d find myself playing guitar instead. “Dad would always come in and say, ‘Put down that damn guitar and do your homework’.” Henderson’s initial experience of television fame was with his father, Cameron, when they appeared together on Australia’s Got Talent in 2010. “I felt like I had more to give, so I did four years of practising and performing,” he explained. “I knew I had to show them what I had achieved.” Henderson was rewarded with a runnerup title on X Factor. He admitted lacking confidence before the show when he was ready to leave the line of contenders outside auditions. “I was, like, ‘Let’s leave,’. I can’t explain it,” he laughed. “I love performing but I had a lot of doubt.” Henderson said he now felt the pressure of living up to expectations building after the release of his album, Burnt Letters. “I’m a bit nervous because the album is very much me and that’s how I wanted it to be. It’s fresh, it’s dark and it’s almost insecure.” Henderson plays Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 1 June.

TRIBUTE SHOW - SAT 24th MAY FOURSOME: The Heartstring Quartet features some of England’s leading Celtic and folk musicians.

Highly strung for Celtic fans By Sam Brimacombe SOME of Europe’s leading Celtic musicians are set to play at Portarlington next month. National Celtic Festival said the event’s line-up of international musicians and bands featured England’s The Heartstring Quartet. Isle of Man’s Barrule, Ireland’s Mairead Hurley and Scotland’s Fèis Rois. Australian Celtic acts from across the country will also appear, as well as local dance groups. Headliner The Heartstring Quartet combines four of the most important names in Celtic and folk music: legendary guitarist Arty McGlynn, fiddler Nollaig Casey, sister Máire Ní Chathasaigh and her long-time guitarist partner, Chris Newman. Harpist Ní Chathasaigh said she was excited about playing Portarlington this year, which would be the first time the four had played the festival together. “We’ve played in Australia before but not at this festival. It’s going to be fantastic, we’re really looking forward to it,” she said.

“Every place is different; audiences in different countries have different personalities. Australian audiences are amazing. “They were very enthusiastic last time, so we’re really looking forward to that.” Ní Chathasaigh put the popularity of the quartet’s music down to the dynamics each member shared on stage together while playing as soloists in their own right. “We’ve all done amazing things. A lot of bands have one or two soloists and others backing them but we aren’t like that we’re all soloists,” she explained. “We all get to shine. Both Chris and I play dance and folk music, Arty played rock and roll, jazzy stuff, Nolliag has been in two bands as well and Chris has played swing. “All those musical experiences just feed into what we do in one way or another.” Ní Chathasaigh was humble about her reputaion as one of Ireland’s most-influential harpists. As a teenager in County Cork she invented a signature style that

quickly became the norm among her contemporaries and the younger generation of players. “When I was growing up the sort of harp music played was the music from the 17th and 18th centuries, medium or slow paced, but what I wanted to play was dance music because that’s what I had grown up with. “There was none of that, so I just had to work out how to do it. That might seem like no big deal in a way but it was and it was also very new.” The Heartstring Quartet will visit Western Australia, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne’s Art Centre before arriving at the festival. Ni Chathasaigh promised a stellar performance at Portarlington. “We all like to play music that means something to us. It’s the music that touches people that seems to resonate and when they go home that’s what they remember.” The festival, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest annual celebration of Celtic culture, runs from 6 to 9 June.

AUSTRALIAN punk band Frenzal Romb will play in Geelong as part of an Australian tour coinciding with Good Beer Week. The quartet has teamed with Sydney brewer Young Henry to ceate its own brew in commemoration of the week. Frenzal Romb: The Beer, is due to launch this weekend in tandem with the band’s Geelong show. The ingredients of the beer, a Belgian pale ale, will mirror the wheat-free, vegan intake of the band members. However, the band joked on Twitter that the beer might also contain old Frenzal Romb Tshirts, “baby vomit” or frontman Jay Walley’s dreadlocks.

The band, which has toured with the likes of Blink 182, The Offspring and Bad Religion, now sit alongside acts such as You Am I and KISS as groups with selftitled craft beers named in their honour. The beer branding follows a blow to the band’s ill-fated tour last year when singer Jay Whalley suffered several seizures, leading to surgery for suspected brain tumours. During surgery doctors discovered Whalley was free of tumour but infested with a parasitic tapeworm egg that he contracted four years earlier in South America. The band has courted controversy over the years for its

members’ activities as political activists and animal rights campaigners. Last year the band publically slammed the ARIA awards via Twitter for having too many American guest stars and for awarding recent reality TV talent. In 2004 Austereo radio network blacklisted the band after purposely drowning out radio presenter, Jackie O, at a Darwin music festival. The incident led to a heated on-air argument with Jacki O’s on-air shock jock partner, Kyle Sandilands, who told the band to never expect to hear its music on Triple M or Mix 101.1. Frenzal Romb plays the Barwon Club on Saturday. 1136096-PB21-14

WHITE Eagle House’s new head chef and manager will be familiar faces to long-time regulars. Head chef Jodie Armstrong started her first part-time job at White Eagle House aged 14 and nine months, while manager Maria Versace previously worked at the club for eight years. Both are returning to their new positions after four year hiatus’, having been drawn back by the friendly and welcoming environment. “At White Eagle we consider everyone here family. We get on so well and we’re a team,” Maria says. Jodie’s business partner and mum, Lyn, has also returned after previously working at White Eagle House, now welcoming diners at the front-of-house with fast and friendly service. Completing the returnees is Lorne, much to the delight of patrons. Jodie is proud to be at the helm of the kitchen after working her way up through the ranks as dishwasher, waitress, kitchen hand and assistant chef. “I’ve worked for every person that’s had the lease. I remember when it was just a sports bar down the back - it’s grown a lot,” she laughs. Jodie has introduced a suggestion box to gauge customers’ feedback to help with improvements and updates to the menu.

The Wax Gallery has a “fresh, younger look” under her ownership, Lauren says. “I’ve been here managing for two years, essentially with free reign, and it seemed a natural step to take over when the previous owner offered it to me,” Lauren says. The Wax Gallery offers a myriad of different services including a nail bar, spray tanning, eyelash extensions and its own invention, express waxing. “There’s no waiting around,” Lauren explains. “We have a policy of no waiting times, so you receive professional, personalised treatment without spending hours awaiting your appointment. “We’re the only place in Geelong that offers express waxing. It literally cuts the time in half. “It’s the little things we do that make it fast but thorough.” Part of the beauty industry for five years, Lauren says The Wax Gallery’s point of difference is its versatility and services for clients from all demographics. “We’re more affordable than other salons in the Geelong West area and we think that’s important.” Anyone mentioning this article will receive 10 per cent off their next treatment.

Tax Time: Slash your Tax!!!

There are those who merely cruise along with their business and investments and get shocked at tax time. NOW is the time to plan and prepare for 30 June 2014.

Small business should, in consultation with their accountants, review performance, tax position and consider tax minimisation opportunities by making super contributions, bringing forward expenditure, accelerating depreciation, actively managing inventory and utilising various small business tax concessions. Individuals should, consider minimising tax by taking advantage of all available deductions including work-related expenses, car expenses, travel, donations, cost of managing tax affairs etc. Utilise tax offsets such as child care rebate, medical expenses offset and super spouse contributions.

Plenty of businesses and traffic are making for busy times on North Geelong’s Separation St.

Business buzz on our ‘Seppo’

You should also consider other wealth maximisation strategies such as super co-contributions, salary packaging and negative gearing. In any case, it is a good idea to see an independent financial planner or accountant before setting up anything.

ANYONE who hasn’t been down North Geelong’s Separation St recently should be prepared for a slow drive because it gets busy these days – very busy. Not only the shopping strip • 12is month warranty opposite North Geelong Secondary College thriving, its industrial precinct is growing, with new businesses establishing among the time-honoured traders who have long-called this part of the northern suburbs their home. Retail lease prices are still reasonable for the area, adding to the attraction for business operators wanting to set up shop.

But properties along the street are quite tightly held, with limited turnover of premises and plenty of new businesses always ready to have a go. The Separation St shops are popular for Bell Park, Bell Post Hill and North Geelong residents and workers alike. The precinct has a range of services including Aurum Accounting and the NQR supermarket along with a pharmacy, florist, post office, bank, bottle shop, newsagency, cafes and take away food outlets.

TURBO DIESEL

By DEREK OGDEN THE ‘3’ has been a Mazda mainstay for several years. With the arrival of the third generation in Australia, it’s easy to see why. An even dozen variants tap in to technology usually found in vehicles at the luxury end of the premium market to offer generous specification at sharp prices. Offered in sedan and hatchback versions, the new Mazda3 comes with a choice of two engines - the 2.0- or 2.5-litre SkyActiv petrol engine, mated with either SkyActiv six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Some familiar names turn up among the six grades available - Neo, Maxx, Touring, SP25 and SP25 GT. The Astina moniker, from way back, also makes a return to the fold. Prices start at $20,490, plus on-road costs, for the 2.0-litre Mazda3 Neo manual and rise to $38,190 for the 2.5-litre SP25 Astina automatic, putting the Mazda3 at the heart of the compact market. We spent a fair bit of time in a Mazda3 SP25 2.5 six-speed manual hatch listed at $25,890, which is below the launch price of the superseded model. There’s no doubt the new ‘3 has a striking street presence, especially in its hatchback format, with its steeply raked profile. In line with the latest front-end styling, the deep radiator grille is set low; the sleekness of the headlamps is strengthened by separating them from the turn signals, which are positioned above the foglamps. The 18-inch alloy wheels of the SP25, 16-inch steel and alloys are used on the cheaper models, are designed to present a feeling of road-going agility with stability - or so we are told. Inside the cabin there’s no ignoring the premium quality of materials used. The technology on offer takes the Mazda3 to new levels of occupant convenience and connectivity. With so much information at hand, Mazda’s Human Machine Interface was upgraded to help drivers better maintain proper posture while concentrating on the road. Obviously even the best infotainment system is less safe than a car without any built-in distractions, but we feel the Mazda designers have come up with the best system we’ve used to date. Mazda’s MZD Connect, works in conjunction with a smartphone to receive radio and play music from CDs and mobile audio players, while also giving access to internet radio such as Aha, Pandora and Stitcher. Access to much of this is via Command control, a knob and switches situated on the centre console within easy reach of the driver connected to seveninch a full-colour screen atop the dashboard. The test car was fitted with Mazda’s SkyActiv-G 2.5-litre petrol engine mated with a six-speed manual transmission, which the maker claims gives fuel

New Mazda3... high hopes from first impressions consumption of 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway cycle. Fuel consumption during test turned out to be 5.2 litres per 100km on the motorway, but up to 10 L/100km on the daily city commute. Efficiencies are won by weight savings in the engine, body and suspension, plus Mazda’s i-stop engine start / stop system which shuts down the motor when the car is stationery, for example at traffic lights. As well as a full suite of active and passive safety systems such as anti-skid braking, stability control and airbags all round, the test vehicle was fitted with an optional Safety Pack for $1500, which includes a rear-view mirror with auto dimming function. With this pack the driver has the added advantage of Blind Spot Monitoring and Smart City Brake Support, which automatically applies the brakes, helping prevent or soften impact with the vehicle ahead when travelling at slower speeds. Then there’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which warns of vehicles about to cross behind the car when reversing. The new Mazda3 is a pleasant, practical, wellpriced vehicle outfitted with features and quality materials way beyond its station.

New larger Corolla is just right By ALISTAIR KENNEDY UNLESS Ford changes its mind and retains the Falcon nameplate then Toyota Corolla will replace it as Australia’s longest-running passenger car having been on sale here since 1967. Despite its longevity, Corolla has never been more popular, tipping out Mazda3 as Australia’s biggest selling motor vehicle during 2013 and doing so despite carrying an ageing sedan variant throughout the year alongside the new hatchback. The new sedan finally joined its hatch stablemate in February and set another milestone. At 4.62 metres it’s the largest Corolla so far, a significant 365mm longer than the hatch, 75mm longer and with an increase of 100mm in wheelbase over the outgoing sedan. Unlike the hatch, which is built in Japan, the sedan comes from Thailand and so takes advantage of that country’s free trade agreement with Australia to keep the price down to $20,740 plus on-roads for the entry level Ascent manual. That’s $250 less than the previous sedan and also includes extra features that Toyota values at $2000. As is common in small cars, the new Corolla sedan can’t match its hatchback sibling for looks. It’s neat and attractive enough but without anything to make it stand out from its many competitors. We loved the smooth, wavelike dashboard not only for its appearance but also for the placements of its various components and their ease of use. The extra interior space within the new Corolla sedan provides sufficient rear legroom for two adults to travel in comfort even with the front seats fully extended.

Boot capacity has been increased by 20 litres to 470 litres. The space is long (1088mm) with a wide opening for ease of loading but not especially deep. Three equipment levels are available. As before the entry-level model is called Ascent, with the previous higher-specced Conquest and Ultima now renamed SX and ZR. Now standard across all three models are cruise control, reversing camera, rear parking sensors and a multi-information display (MID). The Ascent wheels are 15-inch steel. The mid-range SX adds interior chrome door handles and door belt moulding, front fog lamps, push button start/stop front parking sensors, enhanced MID system and 16-inch alloys. The auto-only Corolla ZR gets automatic air-conditioning, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, auto on/off LED headlights with automatic levelling, LED daytime running lights, satellite navigation, leather seat trim, powered driver’s seat and acoustic windscreen. New Toyota Corolla sedan comes with the same powertrain combination as the hatch, namely a 1.8-litre petrol engine with either six-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission, the latter with seven preset overrides via the floor

The new Corolla sedan is bigger and better than ever, inside and out. lever on all, as well as paddles in the topline version, the Corolla ZR. Engine outputs peak at 103 kW and 173 Nm, fractionally different (+ 3 kW and -2 Nm) from the outgoing sedan but with maximum torque down from 4400 to 4000 rpm. Central to new Corolla sedan’s information and entertainment package is the Toyota Link multimedia system. Standard in the SX and ZR models, Link is a first for any Australian Toyota vehicle. Features include the ability to pre-set travel routes prior to getting into the car, locate nearby service stations with current fuel prices and other businesses and points of interest, weather conditions as well as many other smartphone Apps. All Corolla sedans come with a single disc CD player, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and USB/Auxiliary inputs.

Tweaks to the tried-and-true 1.8-litre petrol engine have made it quieter and more refined to such an extent than when we pulled up at our first set of traffic lights we assumed - incorrectly - that a stop/start feature had been added. There’s excellent vision all round and sharp acceleration for safe urban manoeuvring. On the open road it feels like a car the next size up, which it effectively is. Steering is nicely weighted and responsive with safe and dependable cornering. Despite increased size it’s about 20kg lighter than before for which translates into better fuel economy. Toyota’s official numbers are 7.0 litres per 100 km from the manual and 6.6 L/100 km for the automatic transmission. We used around 7.1 L/100 km during our week in the ZC.

With buyers abandoning large family cars in droves car makers are hunting around for the Goldilocks car - not too big, not too small. Toyota might have just about nailed it with this new Corolla sedan which fits the bill as being small enough for city commuting but large enough for longdistance family holiday travel. With prices starting at just over $20,000 and with nearly 50 years of sales on the board Corolla is still the benchmark Australian small(ish) car. Model range Corolla Ascent 1.8-litre four-door sedan: $20,740 (manual); $22,990 (automatic); Corolla SX 1.8-litre four-door sedan: $22,990 (manual); $25,240 (automatic); Corolla ZR 1.8-litre four-door sedan: $30,990 (automatic).

A DOZEN sub-woofers, four amps and a swag of speakers all jammed into one mini motor makes for an impressive car sound system. Just ask Paul Lata and Caleb Danks of Car Sound Plus, who put this wild ride together - along with a similarly sonic-pimped scooter - just to show what they’re capable of down in their South Geelong workshop. “It’s just a very little car with a very, very big sound system. We built it for a laugh and take to show and events, a bit of an eye-opener for everyone,” Paul explains, chuckling. “The scooter seat comes up with a sub-woofer underneath and a radio plus two speakers up front in a custom fabricated fibreglass panel.” Paul and Caleb have been installing sound systems - and lots more - in cars since they were teens. They sell and install everything from speakers, reversing solution systems, Bluetooth units, cruise control, blackbox DVR crash recorders, navigation - even window tint. They specialise in the installation of factory-style integrated multimedia units as the only service of its type offered in Geelong. “We have units that replace and update your original radio. They look like a factory system but have all the goodies that you would get in a car three times the price,” Paul explains. “This gives you more options. You can fit a reverse camera, an integrated navigation touch screen unit with everything in it - reverse camera, bluetooth, built-in hard drive, iPod and USB connectivity, AMFM and DVD players.” The new systems are available across a broad range of vehicles as a more-affordable and effective way of upgrading a car systems than trying to replace them at dealer level. Car Sound Plus is at 12 Hede St, South Geelong, phone 0432 738 245, 0429 139 074 or visit its Facebook page.

IndySport Cats aim for fast start to overcome wobbles By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN FRIDAY night football comes to Kardinia Park for the first time as the annual Scott bowl brings a blockbuster against North Melbourne to town. Geelong coach Chris Scott flagged the game against twin brother Brad as a big occasion that would be “good for the club, good for the town”. “It shows Geelong has come a long way and our stadium has come a long way too,” Scott said. “It’s a good game on the big stage and Simonds Stadium hasn’t had the opportunity to showcase itself on a Friday night.” With the Kangaroos and Cats exhibiting similar levels of inconsistency, the game looms as a crucial contest that might even be season-defining. Both sides have played sublime football against top quality opposition while also putting in a series of clangers to fold under pressure. Speaking about North Melbourne this week, Scott agreed the Kangaroos’ best was very good but they could be a bit inconsistent. “They’re in a group of teams probably below the very best but well and truly above the bottom five or six on the ladder. “We have no choice but to anticipate that they’ll play their very best and we need to match it.”

OH, BROTHER: Chris Scott hosts his brother Brad this Friday night as both their teams struggle for consistency. 117471 Picture: REG RYAN

Fans could expect to see a Geelong team focussed on getting off to a fast start while emphasising contested possessions, Scott suggested. “Given the way we started against Fremantle last week, we’re pretty keen to make amends for that,” he admitted. “We didn’t play well, there were parts of our game that were okay after quarter time but we got smashed around the ball and the stoppages.

“When you give up 43 contested possessions and 17 clearances the rest of your game has to be unbelievable.” Scott revealed that Geelong’s forward set-up had been giving the coaching group headaches. “It’s been a little bit inconsistent in terms of output and performance but also in terms of personnel,” Scott said. Four of the players earmarked to

succeed James Podsiadly had been injured at various times. “So we’re always going to have to think on our feet a little bit to adjust to what we think is working at the time so we’re a long way from being settled on exactly our best forward structure. “It’s not as if we’re bereft of options. We just haven’t found one yet that we absolutely want to stick with week in, week out.”

Warriors’ fourth defeat on trot as frustration rises By JOSEPH ZILIC NORTH Geelong Warriors has suffered its fourth consecutive defeat with a 0-1 loss to National Premier League Victorian leader Avondale Heights. The Warriors had the opening chances early when Robert Zadworny unsuccessfully shot from range in the fifth minute, Reha Kurul sent a header over the bar and Nathan Long’s missed another soon after. The Warriors began showing frustration at unfavourable referee decisions and rushing their play, causing quick turnovers that put the defence under pressure. Avondale capitalised in the 26th minute when Darren Lewis and Kurul missed an opportunity to clear the lines, allowing Oleg Krapkho to get on the end of the ball and slot it past Daniel Zilic in goal. The Warriors continued playing at speed after the break, which took its toll. In the 65th minute Michael Boyar, who appeared to be labouring through midfield, was replaced with Nikola Jurkovic, determined to make an impact off the bench. In the 75th minute Jurkovic was at the centre of attention when he drew the frustration of Avondale’s Michele Crazia who knocked over the Warriors player on the edge of the box, earning a yellow card. However, the resulting set piece was driven wide off the mark. In the closing frantic stages the Warriors had a penalty waved away when Mark Paleka and Zoran Pajic ran together for a loose ball in the box. Paleka went down but failed to convince the referee. The visitors held on, cementing top spot and drawing their coach’s praise for holding out North Geelong’s forays into attacks. Warriors captain Matt Townley described his side’s performance as impatient. “We’re putting too much pressure on ourselves and the frustration shows when the goals don’t come.” North Geelong takes on Whittlesea Ranges away this Saturday when the Warriors face off against former coach Vinko Buljubasic. Both sides have had similar starts to the season, offering glimpses of what they can do when on song but also allowing moments of lost concentration to creep in and undo their good work.ON THE BALL:

CORIO Bay produced flathead and pinkie snapper over the past week. Dylan Pace fished the sheltered waters of the grammar school lagoon on Saturday, catching flathead to 45cm on four-inch Turtleback worms in the channel entrance. I ventured out at day break, finding numerous pinkies to 40cm around the old Yarra St pier. Casting Turtleback worms, allowing them to reach the bottom then beginning a slow retrieve was deadly. John Mole and Brian Long saw Australian salmon busting up in football-field sized patches along the Surf Coast on the weekend. Brian landed multiple fish to 2kg on ever-reliable Sluk lures. Ben McLean travelled to Port Fairy where he spent most of Sunday chasing tuna. He found them quickly and spent almost all day casting and trolling every lure only to find the fish unwilling to bite. The Barwon River estuary hosted great numbers of small whiting, trevally and Australian salmon. Fishing pippies and small pieces of salted bluebait caught plenty of fish. Queenscliff Harbour produced silver trevally on the slack tide for anglers using soft-plastic Atomic grubs in the Motor Oil colour. Adam Vander Lught travelled to Mallacoota where he caught a massive black bream of 1.37kg and 46cm while tournament-fishing. A TT switch blade did the damage when fished in the deep water during the afternoon. Back home, fresh water action continued firing, with Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree a clear standout. George Dagg fished the north side of the lake with mudeyes suspended under a bubble float, catching 15 rainbow and brown trout in one session, eight of them over the 2kg mark. Steve Hotez and David Nicholson also fished Wendouree but with mudeyes drifted out from kayaks. David boated a rainbow of about 2kg, while Steve landed a whooper brown of almost 3kg. Lake Toolondo produced fantastic brown trout. Michael Evans gave Wurdee Boluc Reservoir a rest, travelling instead upstate to Lake Toolondo where he found the fish holding down in the weed. The different conditions forced a change of tactics, with Michael casting Tassie Devils in pink #55 and retrieving as slow as possible to catch two fat trout and a larger fish he estimated to be over 3kg. Michael also saw other anglers experience success on shallow-diving Rapala X-Rap lures in natural colours. Bellarine Light Game Sport Fishing Club had a day out on Lake Bullen Merri where members caught Chinook salmon to 1.4kg on pilchard fillet suspended just above the bottom. West Barwon Reservoir produced rainbow trout around 1kg for anglers fishing the rock wall with mudeye under floats or scrub worms on the bottom.
