for a further $6 million from ratepayers. Independent online readers responded sharply yesterday. Piero Severino suggested on the Independent’s Facebook page that the Cats should instead “ask the AFL for the money”. “Ratepayers’ money is for fixing roads, footpath and so on,” he said. Wendy Frampton wondered “how many schools could be rebuilt for that kind of money”.

A LOCAL luminary confessed to a degree of arachnophobia this week after almost running late for an important regional meeting. The cause? Leaving a window down on her twodoor coupe while parked in her “huntsman-infested garage”. She searched high and low, behind visors and down seats before tentatively climbing in, ready to swat an offending spider should it rear its ugly fangs. We suggested next time she pop a can of Mortein in the cup holder to keep the nasties at bay.

BULLYING at City Hall has yet again emerged as a public issue but early evidence suggests it’s worst at the coalface. Staff complaints have alleged everything from racist name-calling to physical assaults. Certainly, these are serious allegations warranting thorough investigation. But then we trickle all the way up to council and its 13 elected representatives. According to Cr Jock Irvine this week, he and his colleagues share an “intimidating” atmosphere where they contend with “rolled eyes” and “snide remarks”. Some councillors have even been - wait for it - “talked over”. Maybe genteel first-termer Jock should have watched a council meeting before entering the (koala) bear pit.

The position allowed him to be busy on his mobile phone while city-bound peak traffic passed by a metre or so away. He was hands-free all right – both were cradling the mobile while his handle bar was free of hands.

KNIGHTHOODS are still the talk after the PM’s Prince Phillip snafu, but might the royal turn it down? After all, the man who provided the name for our local university, holidayed at Point Lonsdale and served three times as prime minister, turned down a knighthood. It was among several honours and awards rejected by a humble Alfred Deakin. His stance against knighthood seems appropriate for one of our republic-leaning founding fathers. The prince, though, might understandably have a certain fondness for the monarchy.

BRONWYN McGuire was unaware she was performing above and beyond the call of duty. So she was surprised to win the outstanding employee section of the inaugural Geelong Awards for People with a Disability for her work at Shannon Park Industries. “I didn’t think I was doing anything out of the ordinary,” Bronwyn confided. Her training and support officer, Emma Davis, thought otherwise, nominating Bronwyn for her enthusiasm, work ethic and workplace achievements. “I was blown away, I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Bronwyn said. The award has renewed her

zeal to encourage others with a disability to participate in their communities. “People with a disability are being recognised and accepted as part of the community as opposed to being swept under the carpet and hidden away in a hidey hole. We’re not just a wheelchair or whatever the disability is, we’re not aliens and we can contribute, maybe differently to other people, but we still can. “I’ll do anything I can to influence and help greater awareness.“ Other winners were: Ingrid Hindell, volunteering; Phoebe Mitchell, sport and recreation; Thomas Banks, leadership and advocacy; and Cassy Geffke, achievement award.

MP deciphers ‘code’ of WorkSafe review:

Labor’s ‘weasel words’ By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN STATE Government is trying to “weasel out” of its commitment to relocate WorkSafe to Geelong, according to South Barwon Liberal MP Andrew Katos. He said Labor Finance Minister Robin Scott’s announcement of a review of the Transport Accident Commission and WorkSafe to “optimise effectiveness, efficiency and value” was “code” for watering down the commitment. “Having a review is a way to weasel out of the commitment, to save money or only do a partial relocation. “The Andrews Government should come clean with the people of Gee-

long and guarantee the full relocation of WorkSafe. “The Napthine government committed to bringing 550 jobs to Geelong, which the ALP matched. “John Eren and Lisa Neville should ensure that the full relocation of WorkSafe goes ahead. That was the commitment they made to Geelong. “People went to the ballot box on the basis of that pledge.” Mr Katos said the relocation was part of the former government’s efforts to reinvigorate Geelong’s central activities area. The relocation was mooted to inject $50 million a year into the economy and create a trauma, rehabilitation and injury management cluster

with the National Disability Insurance Agency, TAC, Deakin University, St John of God Hospital and Barwon Health. “The relocation of the TAC demonstrated there are many positives to such a move with the impact on the Geelong economy and the flow on effect to other businesses,” Mr Katos said. Community and Public Sector Union Victoria secretary Karen Batt said the review would investigate the relocation’s impact on staff. “It’s welcome because it gives us an opportunity to have input that was being denied to staff and the union previously,” Ms Batt said. “We are able to discuss all func-

tions and how they are going to move which 300 jobs, how we support those that want to go and those who want to stay and finding them work. “There are operational complexities around a regional operational model in the context of the government’s commitment of no redundancies.” Former TAC chief and WorkSafe chairman James MacKenzie has been appointed to conduct the review. Mr Scott said the Government was committed to WorkSafe’s head office relocation. “The review will consider WorkSafe’s relocation to Geelong to ensure that appropriate decisions are made when implementing this change.”

In brief Thompson back THE CATS will invite premiership coach Mark Thompson back to the club after he walked out in 2010 with a year to run on his contract. Club chief Brian Cook said the Cats would ask Thompson to attend social events despite leaving the club for his old side, Essendon, which he departed at the end of last year.

Stations open DRYSDALE and Portarlington police stations will open on Saturdays as part of expanded services across the Bellarine Peninsula, Senior Sergeant Angelo Ferrara has announced. The peninsula’s top cop said both stations would open 8am to 4pm Saturdays “for counter issues” including discussion of local crime matters.

Warplanes land “THE MOST durable warplane ever built” will appear at Avalon’s international airshow this month. Organisers said two “giant” B-52 Stratofortresses would play a key role at the event, with one on static display and the other landing before taking off again on a 16-hour round journey.

War heroes A NEW Walk of Honour will commemorate the 64 Australians who received the Victoria Cross during World War I, including Winchelsea’s Captain Albert Jacka. The Walk of Honour, near the Barwon River in Winchelsea, will feature plaques recognising the 64 VC recipients.

Cats bid rejected

Brewers get crafty with ‘superb’ big-name beers IT USED to be a way of getting a cheap, albeit sometimes nasty, frothy but the craft beer revolution is changing the perception of home brewing. Geelong Craft Brewers secretary Alistair Bain said home brewing was alive and well in Geelong. “The common perception of home-brew is not always positive, and that’s unfortunate,” Mr Bain said. “Craft beer’s not just about cheap alcohol made at home. “The average home brewer can now produce topquality award-winning beers that compare favourably with their favourite commercial craft beers.

“Some of the beers from our members are superb and stand shoulder to shoulder with commercial beers any day of the week. “There’s so much great information available to new and experienced brewers via the internet, books and, of course, clubs such as ours. “Our club provides a friendly, fun and informative atmosphere for keen brewers to share and develop their love of craft beer and home brewing.” Club members produce everything from Bohemian pilsners to Russian imperial stouts and everything in between. They also served as judges and won awards at 2014’s state-wide Vicbrew awards, while president

James Rimmer won last year’s Great Australian Beer Festival home-brew competition. Mr Rimmer’s winning Schwarzbier, a German dark lager, will be available to sample at the 2015 festival on 21 February. “It’s a gathering of like-minded home brewers and we’re keen to take the club to a more serious level,” Mr Bain said. “We’re looking to attract people trying to make a good quality beer at home and to put the club on a more-professional and educational level.” Mr Bain said more information about the club was available at geelongcraftbrewers.org or by phoning Mr Rimmer on 0411 565 701.

From page 1 Sheila Middleton wanted the money instead spent on Geelong’s public hospital, “especially the emergency department so sick people do not have to wait hours to be seen”. “I was sent there by my doctor to have a blood test, ECG and chest X-ray, was in the emergency department from 11am to 6.30 pm.” Kerry McKenzie posted “No!”. “We have schools desperately needing upgrades and elderly losing vital funding.” Tracy Treagus Perkins also wanted the money spent “where it is needed, not waste it on something that is hardly used - get the priorities right”. Tracy Treagus Perkins also wanted the money spent “where it is needed, not waste(d) it on something that is hardly used - get the priorities right”. Chris Airey questioned the value of the investment. “Really, more money for something locals only have to pay for and not get to use?” Denise Airey raised the cancelling of an AUSKICK clinic on the stadium’s surface last year. “No wonder there will be a backlash to this funding request. We follow the Cats but this is hard to swallow.”

Library opens new chapter in own toy story

State must probe City bully issue

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PADDINGTON Toy Library has come a long way since its inception 30 years ago. In fact, many original members might no longer recognise the Grovedale facility as it prepares to christen new purposebuilt rooms. Now the organisation, which has brought joy to thousands of Geelong children over the years, will be based in the recently-completed Grovedale Children’s Hub. Toy library committee member Lydia Whitehand said it would celebrate the anniversary at the grand opening of the new rooms with a party from 1pm on 21 February. Along with cake, balloons, craft, face painting, drinks and lolly bags, the inaugural president would attend, Ms Whitehand said. “We’ve been such a part of the Grovedale community over these last 30 years but would love more families to be aware of the service that we offer to encourage lots of new members.” Paddington Toy Library is one of nine around the region, serving more than 1000 members. The toy libraries aim to provide access to quality toys for all children, with those in disadvantaged situations enjoying the same early learning resources as their peers. The library provides a diverse range including puzzles, games, dress-ups and popular party packs, with kids looking forward to visiting and borrowing new toys each fortnight. Paddington Toy Library begins its year’s programs tomorrow. Ms Whitehand said more information was available by phoning her on 0414 772 797 or emailing lwhitehand@hotmail.com.

GEELONG City Hall cannot be trusted to investigate bullying allegations in its own workplace, according to the Australian Services Union (ASU). State Government should instead oversee a fully independent inquiry into the City’s institutionalised culture of workplace bullying, the ASU’s Billy King told the Independent. “Serious bullying is rife, it’s true, it starts from the officers and goes right through the organisation,” he said. “The impact is massive. In some instances I’ve seen it break up families. “It impacts on spouses, on children, victims feel worthless when they can’t provide for their families, they can’t sleep, some can’t even eat.” Mr King’s call for a state investigation follows reports this week of widespread bullying at City Hall and claims council would launch an independent probe. Mr King said City staff who fell from favour with their superiors were regularly targeted, isolated and victimised. “Officers are cracking down on any people who dare to voice an opinion that’s contrary to theirs. There are plenty of ASU members who have had to seek psychological help. “The bullying is stressful and it re-

ally gets to some people, even reducing grown men to tears.” Mr King said procedures open to staff to redress bullying or harassment complaints were so “drawn out and protracted” they added to the duress facing victims. “The attitude of staff officers is one of denial. They do everything in their power to draw the matter out to stall it and put people under more pressure. “They don’t want to deal with issues and rectify them, they just want to deny, deny, deny, so there’s no problems.” Mr King said council officers had “unlimited resources” and “ratepayers’ money” to defend themselves against claims despite a welter of City Hall policies ostensibly to assist victims of bullying or unfair treatment. Victims often had to draw on their own limited resources, which added further pressure on them, Mr King said. “It can be a real David versus Goliath situation - and we’re only dealing with our members. I’m absolutely sure there’s plenty more.” A spokesperson said City Hall was surprised Mr King had not “voiced his concerns to us directly” but it would be “pleased to have discussions with him”.

$25m pumped into CO2 study AN OTWAYS-based project tackling climate change has received a $25 million federal funding boost, Science Minister Ian Macfarlane has announced. The money will allow the carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to continue its research until 2020, Mr Macfarlane said. The Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) was "globally recognised" for its CCS work in the Otways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect to see important techno-

logical improvements to CCS modelling, monitoring and verification as a result,â&#x20AC;? Mr Macfarlane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The end goal is the wide scale deployment of an effective system for capturing carbon dioxide and storing it safely underground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliance on coalfired electricity and our abundance of fossil fuels, funding this scientific research into CCS is a sensible investment in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia has world-leading CCS

projects underway as well as developing new processes for converting coal mine methane to energy.â&#x20AC;? CO2CRC chief Tania Constable said supporting CCS was an essential component in a portfolio of technologies to tackle climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wide-scale deployment of CCS is critical to reduce carbon emissions as quickly and cost effectively as possible,â&#x20AC;? Ms Constable said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This funding will allow CO2CRC to embark on a new program of research to

improve CCS technologies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In particular, the intention is to lower the costs of developing and monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites and build community confidence in geological storage of CO2 as a safe, permanent option for cutting emissions from fossil fuels.â&#x20AC;? During the past 10 years the Otway project had injected and stored more than 60,000 tonnes of CO2 in a depleted gas reservoir deep underground, Ms Constable said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new funding acknowledges the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant contribution to advancing CCS technologies internationally as well as the important ongoing role it will play in overcoming the climate change challenge.â&#x20AC;? Ms Constable said cash and in-kind contributions from CO2CRC members would match the federal funding, including $10 million from the Australian coal industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coal21 Fund and a $5 million Victorian Government grant announced last September.

Councillor on grass: VicRoads has let the joint go to pot Kids feeling By NOEL MURPHY heat in cars VICROADS is ignoring dangerously long grass on arterial road median strips across Geelong, according to councillor Tony Ansett. Ballarat Rd, the Bellarine Hwy, Portarlington Rd, the Princes Hwy at Waurn Ponds, and Bacchus Marsh Rd were unkempt and a potential fire risk, Cr Ansett said. But council maintenance was keeping the roads' flanking nature strips tidy, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;VicRoads used to pay the city a fee because we would maintain the strips but then they took it away and the maintenance fell away,â&#x20AC;? Cr Ansett told the Independent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where we'll mow the road verge six or seven times a year, depending on growth, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it just according to a schedule and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Bacchus Marsh Rd the weeds are two feet high. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same in Cox Rd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City is trying to maintain the flanks and we do it quite well, also with garden beds where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to beautify the area, but VicRoads is letting us down.â&#x20AC;? VicRoads' William Tieppo said median strips and roadsides were inspected and mowed on a scheduled basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we have experienced sig-

nificant rain and the onset of summer has led to an increase in grass length. As a result, VicRoads has brought forward our urban mowing program in the City of

Greater Geelong from March to February," Mr Tieppo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;VicRoads continues to fund local councils throughout the state to undertake

roadside maintenance activities on arterial roads.â&#x20AC;&#x153; He encouraged the public to report road hazards on 13 11 70.

SUPER SUMMER SPECIAL

AMBULANCE Victoria has recorded 17 incidents of children left in cars across the Barwon South West region since the start of the year, new research has revealed. The figures were released ahead of hot weather forecast for this weekend. The research surveyed 1000 Victorian parents, finding that one in three admitted leaving children alone in vehicles amid high temperatures, mostly to buy from convenience stores or takeaway food outlets. Forty-four per cent believed it was reasonable to leave children in parked cars when temperatures was between 25C and 30C. Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said parents were continuing to put their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how we can make it any clearer: leaving a child in a parked car in hot weather can be fatal.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Ambulance Victoria said temperatures inside cars increased as soon as doors closed and could double within minutes. Adults leaving children unattended in hot cars face increased fines of $3690 and/or six months jail.

Water only for childen in Geelong By NOEL MURPHY BARWON Health has defended a new ‘water-only’ program to cut sweet drinks in schools despite selling sugary soft drinks within its own facilities. The fledgling scheme, enacted with Barwon Water, discourages students from bringing sweet drinks to school and schools from offering them through canteens or lunch orders. The scheme encourages school children to choose water over highsugar drinks. Barwon Health provides high-sugar drinks to staff and visitors from its own vending machines and canteens. But it would remove large soft drink sizes in line with a health department initiative, a spokesperson said. “We continue to work toward ensuring a range of healthy foods and drinks are available in our food outlets and vending machines, and reducing the availability of unhealthy food. “Our Healthy Eating Workforce strategy has included colour labels recently being introduced to help staff and visitors to easily identify healthier food and drinks. The traffic-light system, which categorises foods into green, amber and red groups, is part of the Healthy Choices strategy developed by the Department of Health. “The strategy also includes the removal of large soft drink sizes in vending machines and canteens and

an update to internal catering to encourage staff to order more green food options.” Barwon Water said it did not have an official water-only policy but provided water and reusable drink bottles to staff and visitors. “Barwon Water supports the Barwon Health program and believes it is important to instill healthy behaviours at an early age,” a spokesman said. “The corporation has been providing free drink bottles to students beginning prep for almost 20 years to help educate them about the importance of staying hydrated.” The joint water-only school program so far includes seven schools: Ceres Primary, East Geelong Primary, Geelong Baptist College, Herne Hill Primary, Highton Primary, Nelson Park and Oberon Primary. Barwon Health said the project complemented initiatives such as the Healthy Together Schools Achievement Program, and schools-based community programs such as Bellarine Community Health’s Port Produce initiative. “Our data shows that 96 per cent of local primary school students only drink water at school anyway, so this is not a big change but just helps that last four per cent,” said Barwon Health’s health promotion officer, Susan Parker, who initiated the program and hoped to see it implemented across the region.

FOOD obsession now has its own TV show, says Kate McLennan. The Geelong comedian is partnering with Kate McCartney to premiere a new web series, The Katering Show. The show features McLennan and McCartney as a kitchen-based odd couple, the former a dedicated foodie and the latter suffering numerous food allergies and intolerances. McLennan said the pair would explore trends such as ethical eating, food trucks and taking photos of meals to share on social media. Together they planned to take the mickey out of foodie culture. “I’ve always been obsessed with food since I was a kid, while she [McCartney] uses food as fuel,” McLennan said. The pair had ventured onscreen to fresh-food markets and cooked with a range of unfamiliar fresh ingredients such as kangaroo, she explained. They had also had fun reviewing alcohol and cooking products while still shedding light on the impact of food allergies and intolerances, although McLennan admitted forgetting about them “most of the time” when cooking. The pair hoped to create a comedy show for people who loved cooking and TV shows like My Kitchen Rules. “People are so much more obsessed with food than what they were 10 years ago,” McLennan observed. She said the series would premier on You Tube’s Lead Balloon TV on Wednesday.

Site â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;too smallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for sport bikers By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ONE OF two clubs being displaced from a multi-million dollar motocross track at Barrabool fears it could be homeless for the foreseeable future. Sporting Motor Cycle Club (SMCC) secretary Peter Ovens said members recognised the difficulties in finding a single solution to the needs of the two dirt bike clubs. Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council is investigating a potential site at Avalon after planning and court actions resulted in Barraboolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mc-

Adam Park closing to riders in December this year, leaving both SMCC and Geelong Motocross Club (GMCC) homeless. Mr Ovens said space limitations meant only one club could satisfactorily use the Avalon site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened at McAdam Park has torn our sport apart. For nearly 50 years our club had a good relationship going with the local community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our clubs are now desperate to find solutions for local recreational riders.â&#x20AC;? Mr Ovens said council officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ear-

lier investigations established that the limited area of the Avalon site made it sufficient to accommodate only GMCC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely both clubs could operate from there but we have no issues with that. At least riders would have somewhere to ride and one club would have a proper home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would still be possible to have big events there and attract people to the region.â&#x20AC;? Mr Ovens said the club had long advocated for the two clubs to have separate homes.

looking at the Avalon site to ensure it complied with flora and fauna protection legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go back to that site and will talk to Avalon Airport and see if we can accommodate a track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may not end up exactly with what the clubs want but hopefully itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision they can live with.â&#x20AC;? Another site identified in the Avalon Airport master plan was deemed unsuitable because of flora and fauna protection issues.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All riders agree. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what worked so well for our sport locally for many decades; the two clubs have different cultures and needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be a resistance from authorities in seeking alternative answers to the same problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeking two smaller-scale operations may actually be easier than following the current mindset of seeking just one site to accommodate a large scale high use regional facility.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Cr John Irvine said council was again

Trio gets progressively retro with classical sound for the 21st Century By NOEL MURPHY

ROCKING OUT: Les Oldman practices for his new orginial prog-rockclassical band. 134016 Picture: REG RYAN

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A BIT like stepping inside a time machine listening to drummer Les Oldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest musical collaboration. In the nicest way, of course, because retroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the rage and prog rock is no exception. The thing about it, and probably the reason thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not more of it about, is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damn hard to play. Fortunately for Oldman and his confreres, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old hands in the music game. The age of progressive rock was the early 1970s and the influences on Oldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trio Manipulato â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are express from the era: Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Chick Corea, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Pink Floyd... But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the half of it. Jazz from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s fusion of George Benson through to latter-day exponents like Nik Bartsch, Erik Truffraz and The Neck are all in there too, making for some trippy jazz-rock journeys. But yet another dimension colours the original songs of Trio Manipulato â&#x20AC;&#x201C; written by Oldman with bandmates Zoran Bilogrevic on guitar and Gary Quick on keyboards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classical music.

And some pretty heavy classical in the likes of Debussy, Bach and Paganini, who supposedly sold his soul to the devil for his violin virtuosity. Oldman is a teacher at Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kardinia International School, as is Bilogrevic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a brand new band doing a rare style of music,â&#x20AC;? Oldman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started off eight or nine months ago, trying to be a straightup jazz group, but we were already writing and jamming on ambient soundscaping, which is kind of movie tracks, those kinds of sounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zoranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a headbanger with Satriani and Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big with ELP sounds and horn sections, so you get a combination of those things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a groove-based player, so I tone it down a bit so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all smash and crash but we do have drum solos as well as keyboards solos, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not afraid to be soft, maybe just one instrument giving a dark mood, but then add colours and mood. All of us being teachers, we all think we know more than we do and we take few risks but we thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why waste time with standards when we can do what we want to doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

2015 rain starts 200% of average

Super soaking Under

the

weather Lindsay Smail

averaged 14.2C compared to the 30-year figure’s 13.5C. The nights were actually warmer than normal and the days pretty well average for January. What made it seem cool was the lack of extremely hot days - only four exceeded 30C, compared to the January average of six, and no heat waves or days over 40C were recorded. The maximum was 39.8C on 2 January. Additional cloud cover due to the moist tropical air of 13 to 16 January also kept temperatures down. The bottom line is that it was Geelong’s 32nd warmest Jan-

uary and 80th coolest since 1903 – no records here! January featured two severe storms, the first at Torquay on the third day of the month when vicious wind caused structural and tree damage. This could have been due to a ‘gustnado’, which is a damaging straight line wind but without the tornado-type circulation. The second storm was at Ceres on 7 January when 42mm of rain was recorded in one hour on Gully Rd, causing severe erosion and some flash flooding. Three thunder days were recorded in Geelong for the month, each of which included at least 8mm of rain. A funnel cloud was observed at Ocean Grove on 24 January but did not appear to have touched down. Only one day recorded a strong wind gust over 60km/h, with 76km/h at Breakwater on 3 January.

1113586-EP2-14

1172156-EG06-15

JANUARY brought excellent rain totals to the region, up to 200 per cent above the monthly average at various locations. Breakwater received 51.6mm and the urban Geelong area generally totalled around 60mm. The latest 30-year Geelong average for January is 39.3mm. The major reason for the soaking was day-long rain of around 30mm to 9am on 14 January, the result of a tropical system that extended heavy rain bands coinciding with a strong cold front passing over most of the state. Rain fell on eight days of the month in Geelong, mainly in the first two weeks. As a consequence, the region’s water catchments finished January at a healthy 69 per cent of capacity. Despite a lot of talk about an apparently cool January, the daily average maximums were 25.1C, compared to the latest 30-year average of 25C. The minimums

Monster rig a ripping sight in bay By NOEL MURPHY MONSTERS of the deep rarely show their tentacles but an oil rig that chugged through Port Phillip Heads at Point Lonsdale this week was an exception to the rule. The Chinese-built rig was on its way to its first commission in Bass Strait for Origin Energy. “She didn’t come into Corio Bay but you’re always aware when a monster like that

comes into the bay even if it doesn’t come to Geelong,” said port of Geelong harbourmaster Dilip Abraham “She was brought into Port Phillip Bay on a ship and floated off in the deepest part of bay. Her legs would be at least 50 to 60 metres long. “These oil rigs are used for places where oil reserves aren’t very much and it’s too expensive to set a regular oil rig operation. These are for smaller reserves.”

MONSTER: The rig travels toward The Rip this week.

FURNITURE SUPERSTORE

Bouquets to all the staff at Geelong’s public hospital, including the doctors, for all they did to help me for the months I was a patient before going to the McKellar Centre, where the staff were also outstanding. I will never forget their help to get me back on my feet. Margaret, Corio

BOUQUETS to Ro-Ann Hair Design’s Shona, who was kind enough to look after my two boys when my car broke down in front of her salon recently. Not only is she a great hairdresser, she is a truly great person. Laurel, Highton

BOUQUETS to the owner of Belmont’s lotto outlet for supplying water and promptly calling an ambulance on 30 December. Thanks also to the lovely lady who held me safely, to the MICA crew’s swift arrival and wonderful treatment, and to the hospital staff’s great work. Ever Grateful, Belmont

BUCKETS to Fair Play (Buckets & Bouquets, 30 January). What a mountainous molehill of confected indignation. Nobody mentioned child abuse except you. Your miserable need to take offence at anyone or anyone unyielding to your rigid, narrow views trumps any concern you have for the royalty, no matter how frivolous. Fair Dinkum Unbelievable, Highton BUCKETS to Angry Motorist (Buckets & Bouquets, 30 January), who might be unaware that bike riders in groups are allowed to ride two abreast. This is so they are safely seen and can stick together. Riders have just as much right to the road as you. Ellen Newtown

THE BIG SHED

BUCKETS to a bogan woman frequenting a shopping centre in Geelong’s southern suburbs. Learn to park, get some manners and do something about your appearance. Some of us have to work but you seem to have nothing better to do than annoy and harass us. You know who you are. Annoyed Worker, Grovedale BOUQUETS to a helpful gentleman who helped retrieve my old cat from a tight spot with a long stick. Your quick thinking was very much appreciated. Bronson is much better now. No more walkies for him! Bronson’s Mum, Geelong West

Letters Service the answer I READ with interest Vince Albaneseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geelong Independent. While Mr Albanese might have had some valid points, they were not all the reasons why people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shop in Belmont. Bad service is one. I recently visited a Belmont store for over five minutes as the only customer without a greeting or offer of help while the staff stood at the counter chatting. It was not the only time this had happened. Another time I left a Belmont shop because of staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foul language. Poor opening hours are another problem. I tried to go shopping on Australia Day but most Belmont traders were closed, so my family and I shopped elsewhere. Friday and Saturday nights trading are also a problem. Belmont traders are mostly closed by 6pm Fridays and on Saturday afternoons. Try getting a cup of coffee in Belmont or brekky on Sunday mornings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible, not to mention the closed shops. Compare this to Pakington St, which is thriving on Sunday mornings and where most shops open after 10am. With most people working during the week, we need shops open when we are able to shop. My suggestion is for Belmont traders to stop blaming everyone else for their problems and to concentrate on good customer service and hours that suit customers. I recently changed dry cleaners to one in High St because of his excellent customer service, friendly manner and willingness to be open when I needed. Brian Kenneally Belmont

Scrooged on parking charges TRUST council to praise free weekend parking (Independent, 30 January). Sunday was always previously free. The loss of revenue on a Saturday is more than compensated by the weekday charge of $2.50 an hour per meter, an increase of 50 centre on the original $2 an hour per meter. Council must be rubbing its hands with glee. It proves Scrooge is alive and well. Judith Fisher South Geelong

Eyes off crime THE Geelong mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that beefed-up surveillance is a better deterrent than policemen slogging

Councillor condemned for buses â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dummy spitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CR STRETCH Konteljâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major dummy spit at councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last meeting regarding his lastminute motion on proposed bus route changes did him no credit (Independent, 30 January). No notice of the motion had been received prior to the meeting and many of the councillors voted that it not be discussed at the meeting. The route changes to which he referred were proposed under Cr Konteljâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues in the previous Liberal government. How relevant was it for him to then accuse fellow councillors, who had voted against the motion, of payback for him not

supporting another councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for the position of deputy mayor? Did Cr Kontelj have another agenda, perhaps to do with the state election? It appears to me the duty of councillors is to deal with council business to the best of their ability and for the benefit of ratepayers, not to indulge in petty politics. Matters of great importance, such as bus routes, should not be handled in a hasty and ill-considered fashion such as that initiated by Cr Kontelj. Ellen Csar Newtown

around the mall is nonsense. The cameras already in and around the mall and Moorabool St did nothing to help the young girl who was assaulted, and police dispatching, if it indeed exists, did not result in a flying squad descending on the mall to save her, despite the close proximity of Geelong Police Station. This has been an ongoing problem for years and neither state government, council nor the police want to take proper ownership of the problem. This being the case, perhaps we should have another council election and by-elections for the state seats involved to vote in some caring souls to properly address the problem. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Bay claims melts away I WAS amused to read Dr Ray Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reference to Corio Bay levels (Independent, 23 January). Dr Albert Boretti and I have completed papers showing that ocean levels will not accelerate as nominated by the International Panel of Climate Changes and other important figures. Corio Bay will only rise about 23.6cm by 2100 if all goes according to our viewing of records. The natural rise of the Australian tectonic plate has not been calculated into this value, which might be just

other is not. But as long as some ice remains both thermometers will read 0C. With the thermometer readings as the only evidence it would be impossible to tell which gas jet was alight. If the antagonists confined their arguments to sea levels and ice masses at Antarctica, Greenland and the Arctic, they might be able to enlighten us. But they should do so without the use of defamatory adjectives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an insult is not an argument. Kevin Crough Lara

half or less by 2100. Tectonic plate movement is behind the rise of ocean levels in the Pacific. It is important Pacific islanders are not panicked into believing their islands are sinking below the natural level of the ocean. To show that oceans are not rising, a glass can be filled with water and as many ice cubes as desired. After the ice cubes have melted the water level will be below its original height. Why? Because when frozen ice expands four per cent, so its displacement is less when melted. Likewise, shelf ice has already displaced the natural level of the oceans, so there is no reason to suggest they will rise when and if the ice melts. Ice shelf movement has increased since 2005. We are heading for another mini Ice Age in 300 to 500 years. Thomas TS Watson Bell Post Hill

Heat in the saucepan AS IN many debates, the antagonists have not defined their terms before resorting to acrimony. Heat and temperature are two different entities that should not be used interchangeably. If two saucepans of water plus ice, each with a thermometer, are put over two gas jets, only one of which is alight, then one saucepan is warmed and the

THE CALLS to ban Allan Barronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters on climate are correct and not a denial of free speech (Independent, 23 January). Mr Barron falsely creates the impression heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaking with some degree of authority. He is not. Allowing his letters elevates him to a position that not only is he not qualified to be in but one that is undeserved. Time and time again his statements are found to be wanting, incomplete or just plain wrong. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I see this as a quality-control issue and nothing else. Newspapers and their editors have a responsibility, even a moral duty, to publish factual content. Publishing Mr Barronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters and others like them mislead readers. In the interests of informing readers and upholding the ethical values of journalism, the Independent should not allow this to happen. To continue would ignore these values and participate in the betrayal of the readership. Gary Shepherd Belmont

Quacks appear in free speech I HAVE no quarrel with free speech on matters promoting viewpoints that run counter to scientific thought in most situations; indeed it is a fundamental right in a free society. Creation theorists, tea-cup readers and astrologists can do what they will. When their pseudoscience promotes non-scientific views that can only impact adversely on the future of life on Earth, and in particular on my children and grandchildren, then we are all obliged to say enough is enough. The present inability of our politicians and the public to respond to climate change is bad enough without promoting the quackery of a few misguided climate change deniers that can only do harm.

EXCITED: Geelong’s Luke Biscan will appear with a host of other local acts on the Sunday of Motor City Music Festival in March.

Local Luke set for festival gig By JENA MARINO GEELONG singer/songwriter Luke Biscan is geared up to perform at this year’s Motor City Music Festival. The 26-year-old said he was preparing to show off the “weird and wonderful songs” from his forthcoming debut EP. Motor City would be the first public performance of some of the songs. “It’ll be great,” Biscan enthused. The EP, Motion Pictures, would feature songs in styles from acoustic to “cinematic rock”, he said. Biscan, who moved from

Bristol, UK, to Geelong just two years ago, described his music as heavily influenced by his new life in “the land of milk and honey.” “Sometimes you just need to clear the air with new scenery. I don’t think half of the material would have come if I didn’t move here.” Often performing in Geelong and Ocean Grove, Biscan said he surrounded himself in the pub scene, where he learnt about the history and culture of Aussie rock music – another prominent influence on his music. He hoped to change his usual up-tempo set to present his soft and intimate side at Motor City. “This will be a pretty great

introduction,” Biscan said. “It’s nice when people are welcoming to something you’ve written.” Biscan said he planned to enhance his public profile during a tour of Australia following the release of Motion Pictures in autumn. Biscan will perform as part of a Live & Local program on the Sunday of Motor City on the Labour Day long weekend in March. Other Live & Local acts are The Tiny Giants, The Stackshots, Famous Will, Revolution, Grasshopper, Brooklyn Blue, Underground, Flawed Peace, Cooper Lower, Fenn Wilson, Jack Wright and Tex Miller.

MORE than 50 local and interstate exhibitors will showcase their glass art work at a fifth annual Glass Expo in Drysdale next week. Part of the town’s Festival of Glass, the free event will offer opportunities to inspect displays and watch demonstrations of glass-working techniques. Organisers said the expo would also feature a silent auction of glass art, for which volunteers had donated numerous pieces. Short films during the day would provide more information on making glass art. The organisers said the 2015 festival would also include a series of workshops suitable for all ages and standards, from beginner to advanced. The workshops would cover kiln-forming, framework, hand-decorating and glass bead weaving. Sydney based glass artist Mark Elliott would conduct a “glass master classes” as part of the event, the organisers said. The Glass Expo will be at Christian College’s Bellarine campus, 40 Collins St, on 15 February. Admission is free.

Put feet first for pain-free 2015 WITH summer holidays over, it’s time to ensure feet and legs are in good shape for the year ahead. The experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics offer the following tips to keep readers on their feet in 2015. First, always have foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more-serious underlying issues. Second, evaluate footwear. Some, such as thongs and high heels, can be stressful to feet and legs, so choosing comfortable shoes with straps or laces, decent cushioning, support and lower heels is important, while shoes for exercising should suit the particular sport or activity. Third, don’t rely on techno-

logical advances in footwear to treat pain – proper advice and treatment is best. Fourth, don’t buy shoes requiring a break-in period – they should be comfortable immediately. Fifth, shop late for footwear because feet can swell up to 10 per cent during the course of a day.

$30 check can save your life LEADING Geelong plastic surgeon Ian Holten and his team of GPs at Australian Skin Face Body are highly trained in detecting, diagnosing and treating skin cancer. Statistics show two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70 and the incidence of skin cancer rising. Mr Holten says skin cancers can be treated if detected early. “It’s important to get to know your own skin and, if you do see any changes or suspicious spots, don’t rely on Dr Google for a diagnosis. It’s a good idea to have a full body check and to talk to an expert about your level of risk and advice on early detection,” Mr Holten advises. “Skin cancers rarely hurt and are much more frequently seen than felt. They can occur on parts of the body not usually exposed to the sun, such as between toes, under toenails and on the soles of the feet. Also, contrary to popular belief, not all skin cancers start out as moles.” “An annual skin check is easy, taking just 20 minutes.” Mr Holten’s summer skin care tips are: apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outdoors and every two hours thereafter; use a good-quality, broad-spec-

Now is the time to contact Geelong’s Foot & Leg Pain Clinic about any concerns.

Sixth be careful of off-the-shelf foot products like mass-produced orthotics and arch supports. Only devices prescribed by an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist should be used to ensure safety and effectiveness. Lastly, get a second opinion on surgery and medications for foot, knee or leg concerns. Antiinflammatory medications and cortisone injections can delay healing and cause further damage but most surgery and medication can be avoided with the latest medical research and treatments. More information and advice is available by phoning Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong on 1300 328 300. Anyone mentioning this article gets $50 off their initial consultation.

part in the weight- loss program, helping firm and tone muscles to reshape the body. Pads are strategically placed on the body for the machine’s computerised program to send pulses that contract and relax muscles, simulating their natural movements during exercise. This allows targeting of specific body areas for toning and firming. Clients describe it as a workout without sweat.

The popular treatment takes only 30 minutes three times a week for a minimum four-week course of treatments. Ms Webb says free trials and more information about weight loss options can be arranged by phoning her on 0419 775 584 or emailing sam@thefirmslimming. com.au.

Dr Rashi Gupta decay in primary teeth, he or she is more likely to have decay in the permanent teeth as well. That’s why it’s just as important to take care of baby teeth as permanent teeth.

After each feeding, wipe the baby’s gums with a clean, damp gauze pad or wash cloth. This will help remove plague and bits of food that can harm new teeth. When your child’s teeth begin to erupt, or push through the gums, brush them gently with a child’s-size toothbrush. Talk to your dentist about using fluoride toothpaste for children aged under two years. Also talk to a dentist about scheduling your child’s first dental visit. It’s a good idea to have this visit within six months after the first tooth erupts. Although this may seem early, a dentist can show you how to properly clean your child’s teeth, check for problems such as dental decay, and offer advice on your child’s diet. You should consider this a well-baby dental check-up for your child.

Top tips for healthy baby teeth DID YOU know that keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy is important for chewing, speaking and appearance? That’s because baby’s teeth are at risk for decay, or caries, as soon as they appear. The good news is that it’s easy to prevent early-childhood caries and keep baby teeth healthy. Early-childhood caries is tooth decay in the primary, or baby, teeth of young children. It happens when the child’s teeth are around sugary liquids often and a long period of time. Such liquids include fruit juice, soft drinks and other sweetened liquids. Decay in baby teeth can cause pain. If decay is not treated, it can destroy the teeth of infant or young child. And if a child has

FINAL& RELEA SE

Sensational facilities and high-quality ageing in place opportunities make Torquay’s Star of the Sea Village an A-grade lifestyle option.

Torquay village in 90-bed boost CATHOLIC Homes is delighted to announce it is proceeding with the development of its $24 million, 90-bed aged care facility at Star of the Sea Village, on Torquay’s Horseshoe Bend Rd. The announcement is a result of the Federal Government granting Villa Maria Catholic Homes 90 bed licenses in December. Star of the Sea Village will now be able to expand its service offering to include a fully integrated ageing-in-place system. This means the retirement village and aged-care facility will be located on the same site, and supported by Home Care Packages, previously known as CACPS, EACH and EACHD packages.

An ageing-in-place system provides a wonderful opportunity for village residents to seamlessly transition from retirement living to aged care. Catholic Homes is proud to offer this unified approach to retirement living to support the senior community as its care needs increase. Time is still available to secure one of the luxurious two or three-bedroom units under construction. The fifth and final stage is selling now. Catholic Homes urges interested parties to arrange a commitment-free tour of the village. Independent living is combined with lifestyle activities

and access to first-class facilities including an indoor heated pool, a gym, a movie theatre, outdoor bowls, billiards, a library and a hair salon. Catholic Homes management thanks the community for its ongoing support and encouragement. Star of the Sea Village welcomes people from diverse cultures, nationalities and faiths. Star of the Sea Village is open for inspection every day at 1 Headland Dve, Torquay. More information is available by phoning village manager Pip Walker on 5264 3600 or visiting staroftheseavillage.com.au.

Big year at charitable centre The early days of Market Square, in 1866 and later as seen on the right while looking north along Moorabool St. “We won an award for corporate social responsibility in 2014 that recognised our work with the charities,” Ms Kelly-Burton says.

Market Square is a proud supporter of Geelong Food Relief Centre (GFRC) during February. The GFRC helps families experiencing financial

difficulties in the Geelong region. The families are supplied with food vouchers redeemable at GFRC’s mini-mart, in Freedman St, North Geelong, explains food relief centre chair Lillian van Laar. “Our mini-mart is the major supplier of emergency food in Geelong, servicing the needs of over 40 welfare organisations and schools” she says. “In 2014 more than 9000 families used the centre, equating to over 35,000 adults and children.” Customers can drop non-perishable food items into Market Square centre management during February. More information about Market Square is available at marketsquaregeelong.com.au and the food relief centre at geelongfoodrelief.org.

1172339-EG06-15

MARKET Square Shopping Centre is set for an exciting year in 2015 when it celebrates 30 years since opening in 1985. “We have a variety of activities planned that are bound to appeal to our wide demographic of shopper,” says centre manager Sandy Kelly-Burton. “With Market Square’s history dating back to 1837, there’s a beautiful story behind it that we want to share with the Geelong community.” With celebrations running throughout November and culminating on Market Square’s official birthday, 3 December, it will be 30 days of celebrations just in time for Christmas shopping. Market Square’s history of community focus is reflected in its support for local charities every month.

MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO V Positions Vacant

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deﬁnitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

IndySport Cats aim to finish on positive WHILE Geelong Cricket Club fought bravely to win the first innings of last week’s match against Ringwood, it was unable to sustain the pressure, eventually going down on the second innings to lose outright. Justin McPhee put in a solid performance for 6/30 to help claim an 11-run first innings lead, while Tom Treble was the only batsman to stand up in the second innings with a well-compiled half century. But Ringwood proved too strong, cruising to its target of 155 in just 29 overs.

Tomorrow Geelong begins its final home game of the season against Northcote. The Cats will be keen to do well so they can finish the season with some positives.

In Geelong Cricket Association, St Joseph will have its destiny in its own hands in division one when it attempts to chase down Newtown & Chilwell’s 204 at the College Oval. If Joeys wants to stay in the hunt for finals and the chance to defend last year’s flag, the likes of Leigh Kentish, Andrew Hogdson and Justin Foss will need to show their class and experience to ensure this crucial match isn’t lost. In division two, seventh placed Newcomb & District has posted a competitive total of 196 in its game against Guild St Mary’s and will be desperate to

defend that tomorrow to keep its finals hopes alive. Andrew Webb top-scored with 58, while Anthony Quarrell did his bit with 43 at the top of the order. Clinton Ford will look for early wickets tomorrow to avoid any nervous moments. And in division three, Little River will find itself in the middle of a tricky little run chase when it resumes at 2/21 in pursuit of Corio’s 133. For the Redbacks, Troy Smith took career-best figures of 7/22 last week but will be hoping his batsman can return the favour tomorrow or their season could well be over.

Snapper, mulloway, kingfish provide tantalising targets across region TRAVIS Man and son Hunter set out in search of snapper off Clifton Springs, anchoring up just out from the Point Richards channel. The pair had a pleasant surprise when their new rod and reel loaded up with a snapper of 4kg. The spoil grounds off Clifton Springs remained a solid option last week, offering some protection from strong southerly winds. Anglers casting soft plastics at first light caught snapper to 50cm. Numbers of small mulloway entered the grammar school lagoon system, with anglers using soft plastics or bait at night catching some of the hard-fighting fish and some respectable-sized flathead as by-catch. Kingfish fever remained in full force, with anglers finding

Queenscliff a quick and easy fix. The Rip produced fish to 12kg on knife jigs. Gone Fishing charter clients enjoyed some intense jigging on kings to 70cm. The Surf Coast was a challenge in the windy weather but anglers who got out caught kingfish to 70cm around inshore reefs. Casting metal lures or trolling white occie skirts with a squid strip attached worked well. Dan Ford took young Zayden

to the Barwon River estuary to catch his first fish. After baiting up and waiting patiently, Zayden caught a silver trevally of 25cm after an outstanding fight on light tackle. Anglers fishing from the banks of the estuary also landed some large black bream to 42cm. Live Bass yabbies or shrimp pumped from nearby sand flats were effective. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Lake Bullen Merri continued producing some of the best freshwater fishing around. The Chinook salmon, now an average size of 2kg, respond well to lure or bait. The odd rainbow trout pushing 2kg has been a welcomed by-catch for anglers targeting the salmon. Powerbait on a small tre-

the chosen destination for Darryl Latttural and Michael Evans, who began casting lures along the rock

wall where they caught redfin to 37cm. Casting distance and covering ground are the key to success at Wurdee Boluc. With better weather forecast, anglers seeking kingfish should be able to access areas such as The Rip and offshore from the Surf Coast. Offshore anglers should try locating schools by trolling either a hard body-lure or a white fourinch occy skirt with a squid strip. The entrance to Corio Bay should also be worth drifting while casting soft plastics such as Turtleback worms in Pumpkin Green for pike and larger-model flathead. Spinning the beaches is always a great option this time of year, with Australian salmon of 2kg available.

TRADES & SERVICES The Independent delivers more newspapers each week than any WINNING WAVE: New Australian Etchells champions, John Bertrand, Jake Newman and Bill Browne.

Picture: Kylie Wilson/positiveimage.com.au

Geelong’s Newman joins legend Bertrand in victory By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG sailor Jake Newman has won a 2015 Etchells Australian Championship while crewing on a boat skippered by national sailing legend John Bertrand. Bertrand, Newman and third crewmember, former St Kilda AFL player

Bill Browne, sailing Triad, won the championship in Adelaide in a comefrom-behind victory. Triad was third coming into the final race of the series but came home with a wet sail to claim the trophy. After the win Bertrand, who skippered Australia II to its 1983 America’s Cup victory, paid tribute to his crew.

“To win, you do need the help of others. Jake Newman is very talented and underrated,” Betrand said. “He’s good at seeing wind on water and possesses a wonderful feel for boat speed. He’s a younger version of (Olympic gold medallist) Tom Slingsby.

“Billy Browne and I go back to the 1992 Etchells World Championship. We have sailed a lot together. He’s super competitive.” Bertrand said Triad’s next outing would be in Geelong in March for the Victorian title, again crewed by Newman and Browne.
