Indy sponsoring Geelong Business Excellence Awards The Geelong Indy has signed on to sponsor the region’s premier awards for local businesses. The 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards will benefit from extensive promotion in the region’s highest-circulating local newspaper. The coverage will include regular updates online at geelongindy.com.au and via the Indy’s popular social media accounts. The massive print and digital reach would give this year’s awards a “huge boost”, said managing editor Tony Galpin. “The Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards are an outstanding recognition of the
people and companies creating jobs and wealth for this region,” Mr Galpin said. “We look forward to working with the other sponsors and supporters to make this year’s awards the biggest and best yet.” Mr Galpin thanked the Geelong Chamber of Commerce for accepting the Indy’s sponsorship proposal. “I’m glad the chamber, representing around

900 local businesses, recognised the value offered by the Indy.” The awards and the Indy had more in common than just their links to local businesses, Mr Galpin said. “We were both established in 1986, so together we can celebrate our 31st anniversaries at the presentation night in August.” The Indy will launch the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards with a special wrap-around feature on 24 February. More information about the awards, including categories and the entry process, is available at gbea.com.au.

Kazem flees Iran, ‘ripped off in construction trade’
Card spree Thieves have gone on an early morning shopping spree with their victim’s credit cards after stealing them along with medication from his car, according to Geelong police. Investigators released images of three people they wanted for questioning (including the man pictured) over the use of the cards “at various locations from Clifton Springs to Newcomb” between 7am and 10am on 12 January.
Christian refugee beating the odds By Luke Voogt
Murder plea A man who allegedly fatally shot a man from a car window at Bell Post Hill has pleaded not guilty to murdering him. Dylan Barker, 23, formerly of Lovely Banks, argued self-defence for the shotgun blast that killed 36-year-old Paul Cochrane, the Supreme Court heard in Geelong this week.
Change here Geelong and the Surf Coast “are already experiencing the negative effects” of climate change, according to the Andrews government. The Government cited both “reduced rainfall” and “flooding” as it launched a climate change action plan to address “long-term risks” across the region and state.

With Paul’s guidance Kazem has a few regular clients and a steady flow of business. “Now I don’t work with builders,” he said. Kazem said he couldn’t receive benefits for three and a half years in order to be eligible for a permanent visa. This gave him an extra incentive to work. “I’m very happy - my daughters are finding a lot of friends at school,” he said. “It’s a very beautiful community around us.”

Sitting at home collecting benefits was never an option for Belmont resident and Iranian refugee Kazem Safikhani. “I have to work outside,” the 38-year-old told the Indy this week. “I’ve worked all my life. I’ve never asked my mum or dad for money.” Kazem said he worked in the construction industry and ran a taxi company consisting of 50 cabs in Iran. But he and his wife’s decision to become Christian forced them to flee the country because the Iranian Government severely persecutes Christians, especially recent converts. Eventually he made the trip to Australia from Indonesia by boat with his wife and two theninfant daughters, enduring 12 days of scorching heat and storms. He arrived on 20 December 2012 and spent six months in detention before being transferred to Geelong. For his first two years in Australia his visa didn’t allow him to work. But as soon as he could he began searching. “I applied for Coles, Aldi, a factory - no one would give me a job,” he said. Frustrated, Kazem started his own painting business and found work “with a few big builders”. But he soon ran into problems, with clients delaying payment, back-charging or underpaying him, he said. One business asked him to return to repaint a building, he said. Kazem believed he had done a good job and said the builder had hired a tradesman to work on the building after he painted it, damaging his work. When he refused they hired someone else and deducted the cost from other bills, he said. “They paid me $4000 for the whole house but they back-charged me $2850 just for a touch up job.” Enter OneCare Geelong volunteer Paul Saunders to help him with the basics of running a business in Australia. OneCare Geelong is non-profit organisation which provides services to people “who are isolated or marginalised”. “Every two weeks Paul comes to my home and we talk about everything,” Kazem said. “He’s been great.” Paul said Kazem had “struggled with people ripping him off ”.

As Geelong lovebirds prepare for Valentine’s Day next week, maybe they’d like to consider the latest suggestion for marking the occasion. Fine dining for two? A romantic daytrip? A movie and a cuddle, perhaps? Err, not quite - try a donation of underpants to the homeless. That’s right, a Sydney charity has suggested knickers for the needy as an ideal replacement for the traditional choccies and flowers. Maybe Melbourne Mayor Robert Doyle could regain brownie points by incorporating the idea with his action against rough-sleepers. After all, nothing says ‘I love you’ like giving a pair of jocks to a vagrant.

Following a recent state suggestion to make a decommissioned sewer pipe the centrepiece of a new Geelong park, City Hall has unveiled a somewhat more appealing, if smaller-scale, attraction of its own. The “eye-catching” timber sculpture on Redgum Island, at the junction of the Barwon and Moorabool rivers, would encourage visitors “to pause, to watch and to listen”, City Hall’s William Tieppo said. The sculpture was incorporated with some minor landscaping treatments “to enhance the area’s appeal”, he explained. Modest maybe, but a reasonably tasteful addition to Geelong’s public art collection nonetheless. To break with tradition somewhat, Double Take says, ‘Well done, City Hall’.

They’ve tried taxes, trading schemes and subsidies but campaigners might soon have a powerful new weapon in their battle against climate change. Teabags. Yes, according to latest Deakin University research, burying tea bags in wetlands could provide vital information on their ability to store carbon dioxide. Apparently the bags’ rate of deterioration will indicate the wetland’s carbon-sink capacity, with slower equalling better. “Scientists like us are on a quest to identify and map the world’s most important wetlands for carbon sequestration,” explains study leader Dr Peter Macreadie, “but the challenge is finding a standard method that is cost-effective and easy to implement. “We hope the teabag test will provide a simple solution.” Maybe, good doctor, but tell us what we really want to know.

Call to lobby for $5b defence job By Luke Voogt Local leaders should lobby the State Government to base some of a $5 billion army manufacturing project in Geelong, according to a group seeking defence contracts for the region. They should step in to make up for the silence of the region’s state Labor MPs on the Land 400 combat vehicle, said Geelong Defence Alliance chair Clive Pugh. “We haven’t seen Christine Couzens, John Erens and Lisa Nevilles jumping up and down to get it here,” he said. Mr Pugh was responding to last week’s Indy story revealing that two companies bidding for the $5 billion contract were open to basing operations in Geelong. Their interest in Geelong was at odds with state Industry Minister Wade Noonan, who said they preferred Fishermans Bend, in Melbourne. Mr Pugh said Geelong could host “phase two” of the Land 400 project but the government must come clean on the preferred base. He said the government may prefer Melbourne because it owned a former Holden factory in Fisherman’s Bend that could accommodate the project.
“I’m a little less suspicious of the political motives rather than the practicalities of getting it done. “But from an industry point of view it annoys us that it becomes a political football between local, State and Federal government.” Elaine Carbines, the chief of local municipal alliance body G21, said Geelong was “very unlikely proposition” based on the “evidence provided by the minister and senior bureaucrats”. “I have no reason to suspect there would be any benefit to the State Government or the Federal Government in offering the opportunity of Geelong.” Ms Carbines said she had yet to speak with remaining bidders BAE or Rheimetal but trusted her State Government contacts. “Our focus is now on securing aspects of the project for Geelong. It’s unhelpful to continually analyse it. I think it undermines our chances of securing the contract for Victoria.” Geelong council administrator Doctor Kathy Alexander said the city was “well-suited to supporting” a winning Victorian bid regardless of its siting due to Geelong’s “superior” manufacturing assets. The Victorian and South Australian governments are vying to host the project, with the latter offering a $100 million support package.
Men ‘drink up, urinate’ in cool room
WORLD-FIRST: Intern Jack MacCauley is pictured at work in a laboratory at Viva Energy’s Geelong refinery. The Tasmanian of Indigenous heritage this week won CareerTrackers Awards’ category for project excellence. Mr MacCauley won for his work on “world-first” test to determine bitumen durability, said refinery manager Thys Heyns.
From page 1 “This was very upsetting for the staff member and the manager,” she said. Police alleged the men entered the bottleshop between 7.35pm and 8pm on 5 January. “The staff member was dealing with some other customers in the store,” Sen Const Granger said. Sen Const Granger said the men appeared intoxicated, so the attendant refused them service. “She’s then gone into the cool room and ob-
served what had happened.” One of the men pushed a carton of beer off a stack as he left, smashing its contents, Const Granger said. “$1000 worth of alcohol was destroyed.” The security images drew numerous comments after they appeared on a police Facebook page. “I’ve had numerous calls, so I’ve got a few people I need to speak with,” Sen Const Granger. She urged witnesses to phone her on 5273 9555 or phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hearing again with new devices

I was also out with friends for dinner at a very noisy restaurant recently and I was able to understand multiple conversations. This is the sort of thing we just take for granted, but when you haven’t heard these sounds for years, it’s pretty exciting.” - Andrew

WHEN I left school I began working in factories amid loud machinery and, for fun, I played piano in bands three nights weekly without considering the damage to my ears. Eventually I started havingtrouble understanding conversations and noticing high notes on the piano were disappearing. I started lip-reading, trying to piece stories together from the words I could recognise. I eventually had a series oftests and stopped playing

in bands to avoid any further damage. Now I have to wear hearing protection any time I’m around loud noises. Then I was advised to wearhearing devices, which I’ve worn for seven years with great success. New digital hearing aids canbe programmed by welltrained professionals to suit individual needs. Many digital aids on the market, nearly all with bluetooth connectivity to mobile phones or TVs. I recently contacted Hearing Aid Specialists, at 77 Yarra St, Geelong, which was offering trials of new products. The clinic’s Marcel Timmers and I had a long chat about my hearing history and he tested me to determine the best outcome for my hearing loss. A pair of Oticon Alta Pro hearing devices was programmed for me to try. I immediately noticed howclear everything sounded. The Alta Pro’s noise compression allowed me to focus on speech around me while quietening traffic noise. It is very noticeable how
well the noise compression works. I was out with friends for dinner at a very noisy restaurant recently and was able to understand multiple conversations, which I think was due to the directional microphones following where I was looking and the computer doing all the background noise-cancelling to make my dinner out a very enjoyable experience. My previous hearing aids could cancel out background noise but were less clear and accurate. I’ve also noticed a big change when listening to radio in my car. The Alta Pro devices seem to pick out the announcer’s voice from the mix of car engine and road noise. Marcel has tailored a specific music program for my Alta Pros, allowing me to hear high notes on the piano again. I can now enjoy conversations with family and friends, watch movies, TV, listen to music and enjoy life again. Anyone with hearing problems should contact Marcel at Hearing Aid Specialists to enjoy life again, too.

Troubled fighter in airshow debut Australia’s controversial F-35A Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) will make its public debut at Avalon’s airshow this month, organisers have announced. Two JSFs will fly in from their base in the United States where Australian pilots are training to fly the fighters. The aircraft - promoted as the future of the RAAF’s air-combat capability - can attain supersonic flight while retaining stealth. The first JSF will be in service next year, with the first squadron scheduled to be operational by 2021.

FLYING HIGH: The Joint Strike Fighter will make it’s public Australian debut at Avalon this month. Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has 72 JSFs on order. The F-35A features a low-profile design,
vided by F/A-18A/B Hornets and F/A-18F Super Hornets. But glitches, delays and negative reviews have plagued the JSF’s production schedule. Last year Pentagon expert Michael Gilmore said the aircraft would struggle in aerial combat despite contradicting statements from Washington and Canberra. The Federal Government has also drawn criticism for the price of the JSF project. This year’s airshow will also include the largest US contingent in the event’s history.
College kids cotton on to local foundation’s good work Death-talk day A Geelong-based foundation aims to help 20,000 children into education within the next three years. The Cotton On Foundation had already helped put 6500 kids into schools around the world but wanted to achieve its overall target by 2020, its general manager told Christian College students this week. Tim Diamond addressed an annual service at the college’s Highton middle-school campus, speaking of the foundation’s work and complimenting the students on their “passion for the future”. “We felt blessed to have such an inspiring and philanthropic speaker,” a college spokesperson said. Geelong’s Cotton On Group established the foundation following a “simple donation” to a health care centre in southern Uganda 10 years ago. Cotton On, which has headquarters in North Geelong, operates more than 1000 stores globally. The company has grown to become one of Geelong’s largest private-sector employers, with further expansion underway around its main office.

A national program will next week help Geelong nurses talk about death to older and chronically ill patients. The national federally funded program, Advance, is designed to introduce advance care planning into general practices “in a sensitive and routine way”. The training will take place on 14 February at the Western Victoria Public Health Network office in Geelong. Associate Professor Josephine Clayton, a specialist in palliative dedicine, said the program filled an important gap in addressing the wishes of people who are nearing their death. “Health professionals can feel uncomfortable discussing dying with their patients. The training the nurses will receive through the program gives them the skills to start the conversations with patients with empathy, care and compassion,” Prof Clayton said. “Specifically, the program will focus on initiating a conversation about planning for future health care, particularly in case the person ever became too unwell to speak for themselves.”

Diamond reunion brings back the treasured memories Skip the bypass The original class of Geelong’s first technical girls school gathered in the city’s CBD for its 60th reunion Saturday. Lara grandmother Lynn Jenkin was one of 28 former year seven students from Geelong West Technical Girls School attending the class of ’57. “We were carrying on like we were 12-yearolds back in school,” the 72-year-old said. “It was great - we were talking about the antics we’d get up to. I was told I haven’t changed.” The school began in Geelong West Presbyterian Church, which burnt down in a suspicious fire last April. The school moved to Manifold Heights in what was, until May last year, Geelong’s Mosque. “That got burned down too!” Lynn said. In 1958 it moved into what is now part of Gordon TAFE, and in 1959 it moved to its final home on Minerva Road, where it stayed for decades.

Proud and close to tears
Mum diving in to brave open space
By Luke Voogt
Belmont’s Alanna Perry will take the plunge over Barwon Heads Sunday in memory of her mother who fought breast cancer for nearly two decades. “It’s really is about being brave, which is a really big part of fighting cancer,” she said. “I know how brave and strong my mum was. But it’s also for all women who go through it.” The 27-year-old mother-of-two will leap from a plane at 4000 metres with 12 other women to raise money for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). “I’ve actually done it before but it’s a bit different now because I’ve got kids - so it’s silly jumping out a perfectly good plane,” she said. Alanna first jumped as a 16-year-old and later with her mother-in-law when her son was 16 months old. “It was in the aeroplane that it all hit. I was thinking ‘what are you doing? You got a little kid and she’s the only other person that can raise him’.” Alanna will jump with Newton friend and workmate Emily Jones. They were struggling to decide which was more nerve-wracking - sky diving or shaving their hair after. “At least we’ve got each other on the day,” she said. Alanna was six years old when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. “When I was in school I remember kids teasing me because my mum had short hair,” she said. “She had to be brave for us but she also had to be brave for herself because she had to walk down the street looking different. A woman can lose her identity going through that treatment.” In 2004 the cancer spread to her bone. “They told her that she had two years maximum,” she said. “She just wasn’t going to let that happen.” She died in 2012 when Allana was pregnant with her second child. “Up until then she just fought and fought,” she said. “She met her first grandson.” Each skydiver has set a fundraising goal for Brave For BCNA and so far the Barwon Heads skydivers have raised more than $31,000.

Bell Post Hill’s Annaliese Bishop was one of six locals to win at the Geelong Awards for People with Disability on Tuesday. The 39-year-old attended a ceremony at Geelong Library with partner Adam Szocs and mother-in-law Sue. “I was trying not to look at them because I was about to burst into tears I was so happy,” she said. “(Sue) had a tear. She told me in the car.” Annaliese won the Sport and Recreation award for teaching free yoga classes for children on the autism spectrum. The Kiwi expat, who was diagnosed with autism in 2008, said teaching any class of children was “a bit of a challenge”. “I be lying if I said it wasn’t. (With autistic children) you have to have that extra level of awareness to manage their individual sensory issues.” For example, she said, some of her students might not like the texture of the yoga mat, the colour pink or the smell of lavender. Annaliese also teaches low cost classes for adults. “Most of my students are carrying injuries, chronic medical conditions or long term illnesses,” she said. “As far as I’m aware I’m the only autistic yoga teacher in Australia - or maybe even the world. But you’d want to hope there’s more.” Annaliese took yoga classes at age 18 to help with job stress. “I gave me an opportunity to get out of my head for an hour,” she said. She was a personal trainer for several years before becoming a banker. “I’ve got a number of health conditions and I’ve had a lot of injuries over the years, many of which yoga has, hopefully, kept at bay.” This year’s honours went to Simone Stevens for Volunteering, Nicci Wall for Leadership and

Street music is to busk a move By Luke Voogt
REDISCOVERY: Ken Smith and Leon Conway performing as The Drongo and The Crow 164636
The didgeridoo began as a healing process for Ken Smith that would reignite his long-abandoned childhood love for music. “I played it for relatives that had days or weeks to live,” he said. “They’d just settle into their chair or bed.” Ken recalled his drumming days in his school band in the '60s, after the first heat of the Geelong’s Best Busker competition Tuesday. “Once I left school that sort of faded into the background,” he said. The 61-year-old spent three decades breeding squab pigeons for meat before rediscovering music. “I never made any money off it, and it was really hard work.” Ken taught himself to play the “didg (in 1994) when the kids were babies” lulling his son and his daughter to sleep. “They’d just drop off in a minute or so,” he said. As a former smoker, Ken worried he would never master the instrument. “I could play for 20 seconds, and then I would start to go red in the face,” he said. “It took a few years before the circular breathing came about.” His involvement in community radio would see him join Indigenous gatherings, expanding his knowledge of the culture. During his travels, he found a pile of wood about two kilometres outside Kakadu National Park. “There were two pieces that were hollow and I thought I could actually do something with this. The didgeridoo rattled the windows - which gave me goosebumps." But it wasn’t until an acoustic session at a Bal-
lan pub in 2014 that he met Leon Conway and they connected through Australian folk music. The two combined indigenous sounds and accordion to create their band The Drongo and The Crow. Like Ken, Leon rediscovered his love of music later in life. “I was classically trained,” the 52-year-old said. “I started piano when I was eight and went until I was 17. The IT technician “kept in touch with the piano” but didn’t return to music seriously until watching a gig four years ago. “I thought I could do that,” he said, “but that it would be hard to get a piano in there, so I thought I’d try the piano accordion. Leon described music as “averting a midlife crisis”. “We don’t have speedboats, motorbikes - it’s a lot cheaper.” On Tuesday, the group was missing their double-bass player Mark Russel, who spent his childhood learning the French horn. “He got a new job on Monday, so he thought it was a bit rude to take the Tuesday off,” Leon said. “But we had fun and made our point. Hopefully, we were able to convey our enthusiasm for our style of music.” Two other heats will take place on Friday and next Tuesday from noon to 4pm. The final will take place next Saturday at noon. Geelong’s Best Busker will win a $500 voucher, and gigs on Pulse Radio and at the 2017 Aireys Inlet Open Mic Festival.

Farmers sold 1449 sheep during the sale, down on last year’s sales of 1954 and 1621 on 2 and 8 February respectively. City Hall’s William Tieppo said the yards would remain closed for cattle sales until Geelong’s administrators decide on its future in June. He said City Hall was working with relevant parties to develop interim arrangements for small-lot cattle sales. The recent works included new metal selling pens, and the restoration of timber holding pens and overhead walkways. Mr Teippo said they had brought the facility’s sheep yards up to Occupational Health and Safety standards. The City this week opened expressions of interest for a committee to advise the administrators on the future of the yards. But former councillor Tony Ansett said the administrators should take action on the saleyards, rather than create another committee. “You’ve already got staff that run it,” he said. “I don’t know why you wouldn’t use them they’ve got the passion and they’ve got the interest.” Mr Ansett cited a 2014 Council Feasibility Report on the saleyards, which recommended a joint-regional facility. The report values the yards at between $4.5m and $5.4m and describes its current financial model as “unstainable”. Mr Ansett said the previous council had plans to work with Golden Plains, Moorabool, Colac and Surf Coast shires to create a regional facility. “The regional yards would be a joint project between local shires the City and hopefully (have) State and Federal support,” he said. He added the saleyards should remain open in the meantime.

$21m Lara feed mill means jobs A new Lara feed mill will create 20 jobs for Geelong with an estimated further 25 jobs in its freight and logistics supply chain. Ridley Agriproducts chief executive officer Tim Hart opened the $21 million mill on Monday, alongside State and Federal MPs. Both governments chipped in for the project with an $800,000 grant from the Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund (GRIIF). The 250,000-tonne capacity mill will manufacture animal stock to feed poultry, pigs and other animals in western Victoria. Federal Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson congratulated the company. “This is a great example of how our government is working closely with local businesses to support new jobs and growth,” she said. State Lara MP John Eren, Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan and Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford inspected the facility during its opening. “The mill will create 20 new jobs in Lara and the entire Geelong region which is great news,” Mr Eren said. “We always stand up for our workers and this is no exception.” The launch comes after more than two years construction, following the announcement of the project in October 2014.
SHEEP THRILLS: Buyers and farmers at the re-opening of the Geelong Saleyards. “The opportunity to share knowledge and friendship at the saleyards is very important,” he said. “We pay rates for services and facilities and not all have to make a profit.” The submission period for expressions of in-
terest for the advisory committee will close at 5pm, Friday 17 February. Mr Tieppo said those interested could visit www.geelongaustralia.com.au/saleyards for more information.

Approval a treat for battler Brody By Justin Flynn It was the news that Ocean Grovers Kate and Steven MacPherson had been waiting to hear since their son Brody was diagnosed with a rare form of cystic fibrosis at four weeks of age. Brody, 3, is now eligible to receive the wonderdrug Kalydeco, which treats the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), not the symptoms. Previously, the drug was only available to those over five years of age and at almost $300,000 per year it was out of the MacPhersons’ reach. But after lengthy lobbying, the Australian Government has made Kalydeco available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for children under six, which means Brody can start life-altering treatment almost immediately. “We’re in a state of shock and disbelief at the moment,” Brody’s mother Kate told the Ocean Grove Voice. “We’ve been waiting three years for this. We’ve literally campaigned for this since the day we found out Brody had CF.” Only 30 children in Australia between the ages of two and five have Brody’s form of CF. The drug was available at a dramatically reduced cost for kids over five, which was no help to Brody. But a recent agreement between Vertex Australia, which manufactures the drug, and the Government means that children like Brody can get immediate care. Kalydeco is the first medicine to target the underlying cause of CF in people who have a G551D or other gating (Class III) mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene 2. “We’re ecstatic - he’s just going to have a chance at a full and happy life,” Kate said. “We’re just so thankful they have given immediate access. “It’s not a cure - Brody still has CF, but it’s a chance to stop the lung damage. The stress impacts on your relationship, finances and our
FREEDOM: Access to the wonderdrug Kalydeco will change Brody McPherson's life. 164613 daughter (Elisa, 6).” Brody will be able to access the drug after he undergoes a series of tests.
“He’ll go to kinder next year in a stronger body to fight off all those bugs,” Kate said. “You hold them back and protect them as
much as you can to be able to stop the disease in its tracks. To not have to do that and just let him have a normal life is an absolute godsend.”

Letters Idiots’ democracy now outdated I always find it a little amusing that our formerly excessively well-remunerated ex-councillors have plenty of time on their hands to defend the toxic culture that led to their removal (Geelong Indy, 3 February). Then I find it very sad. And then infuriating. I have mentioned elsewhere how I always struggled to get hold of my councillor. I have no idea what it is they were doing with their time but it couldn’t have been an awful lot since nothing much seems to have changed since they were shown the door. If the US election showed us anything it was that democracy has outlived its avowed purpose. Even worse in Australia, forcing idiots to vote is not helping the democratic process or representative government. Certain individuals and groups always had the ear of council. Some of them never even tried to conceal it. For what it’s worth, I hope council is never returned. The current system is working just fine. If Kylie Fisher really wants to represent the people, maybe she could try giving Richard Marles the shove since he’s wasting everyone’s time where he is. Or John Eren. Good luck with that.

Thanks for a great Australia Day On behalf of Geelong’s Australia Day committee, a volunteer group, I thank everyone who came to Rippleside Park on Australia Day and supported our children’s free fun and entertainment. The day relies heavily on the support of Lions Club of Geelong-Corio Bay members. This year they were further supported by Lions clubs of Hamlyn Heights, Geelong, Norlane/Corio, and Leopold, members of Kiwanis and local community volunteers. We also thank local businesses that supported us with their time and goodwill, all combining for a great community effort. We also thank City of Greater Geelong for supporting the free family fun and entertainment day, which has been running for over 55 years, and look forward to the City’s continued support. Ron McVilly Geelong Australia Day committee president
Pushing limits of road safety
1213275-RC03-16
Safety at the intersection of Aberdeen Street and Minerva Road could be vastly improved if a righthand turning arrow into Minerva Road was installed for vehicles heading toward the city, as exists for the opposite direction. Vision from vehicles driving toward Fyansford is obscured by stationary traffic, putting at risk vehicles turning right into Minerva Road. Another safety problem is many drivers’ noncompliance with the 40km/h limit on Minerva Road between Aberdeen Street and Melville Avenue. This is a permanent speed limit, not just during school hours. The approval for a childcare centre on this corner makes the speed limit even more important for traffic safety in this area. Pricilla Wright Newtown
Buckets & Bouquets Buckets to those responsible for deeming it unnecessary to man Lara Police Station all day on 17 January because apparently nothing ever happens at Lara. The station is unattended far too often. Concerned, Lara Bouquets to Autobarn Waurn Ponds’ Ricky and Nick for going above and beyond the call of duty with customer service. It was very much appreciated. I wish them both a wonderful, healthy and happy 2017. Chris, Belmont Bouquets to a pair of lovely ladies who helped me up after a car knocked me off my bike. Bouquets also to the lady who took my bike home after I was taken to hospital. Stan, Highton Bouquets to Better Bricks and Paving Moolap. Staff members are always so helpful and friendly.

A dubious heritage Heritage has been in the news, especially regarding Great Western Hotel and council’s seemingly misguided efforts. Council reaped a handsome financial reward after pursuing the owner of a property in Hope St, Geelong West, last year after a heritage-listed facade was demolished along with the rest of the house. Given that area of Hope St is littered with houses and units of various vintages, it is difficult to accept that council could credibly subscribe heritage value to such an ordinary house. The property must have been purchased with development in mind because the block is huge, the house is small and of ordinary appearance, and plenty of such weatherboard houses remain. Council is doubtless happy with its $30,000 windfall from the Hope St prosecution but its heritage credentials are dubious. If council was so concerned about heritage it would not have disposed of the roundabout at Mercer and Malop St, especially since it featured on Geelong postcards since Moses was a boy. Council might also have built a central library designed more in keeping with the heritage values of Town Hall and other fairly ancient architecture of the CBD and surrounds. Council might assist some enterprising soul to resurrect the now-defunct Eastern Beach Cafe, too. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West
Pressing for international Avalon The inaugural 2017 National Press Club forum afforded opposition leader Bill Shorten and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull an opportunity to outline their parties’ respective reset policies for what will be undoubtedly a challenging year.

Both spoke exceptionally well. However, it was a pity the media commentary honed in on the pros and cons of Mr Turnbull’s eventual admission of a pre-election $1.75m Liberal party donation. Cutting to the chase, the gist of Mr Shorten’s address was essentially jobs, jobs, jobs, while Mr Turnbull’s was investment in infrastructure and growing exports into burgeoning Asian markets. Given this collective commonality among the major parties, why shouldn’t Avalon Airport be provided international accreditation, as has Townsville’s airport, along with realistic funding so a fresh food export hub and terminal and runway extensions can be put in place? To the layman the thrust of the leaders’ National Press Club spiels ticked all Avalon Airport’s requirements. Richard Worland Manifold Heights
Victoria no unsafe space Daniel Andrews has been obsessed with the Safe Schools program but appears to have little interest in having a safe state for Victorians. Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani is often credited with making his city a safer place and lowering the crime rate. His zero-tolerance approach to minor violations helped change the culture and increase respect for people, property and the law. Our Premier might do well to take a leaf out of the Mr Giuliani’s book. Stephen Juhasz West Geelong
Lyrics to lose by With the spate of home invasions, car thefts and ramming of police vehicles by juveniles in this state, I am reminded of the lyrics in The Bobby

Fuller Four’s sensational 1966 hit I Fought the Law and the Law Won. Well-worth Googling, they are powerful lyrics that argue how those who embark on a life of crime are losers, big time, in every sense. Those thugs, juvenile and otherwise, who chose a life of crime in preference to honest work should bear in mind the lyrics, which should ideally be broadcast loudly into prison cells, youth detention centres and divvy vans on a 24/7 basis.

Climate-crazy Dan driving us broke Just when we thought it could not get sillier - paying $1 billion not to build a needed road - the Andrews government is allowing Hazelwood to close despite producing our state’s cheapest power and with almost 20 years of life remaining. Its owners can’t make money just because of our Government’s policy of preferencing power from windmills. China produces 29 per cent of global CO2 emissions, India 6.5 per cent. Both are building coal-fired power stations as fast as they can, with 1150 planned for Asia alone. The USA produces 16 per cent of CO2 emissions but declining as it switches from coal to gas, now in surplus because of successful fracking. But the Andrews government prohibits all gas exploration in Victoria! Victoria got 12 per cent of its power from renewables in 2014, mostly Snowy hydro. But the Andrews government is sticking to its crazy-brave target of 25 per cent renewable by 2020 and 40 per cent by 2025. The lessons from South Australia are that unreliable supply and some of the world’s highest power prices are driving away industry and jobs. Australia accounts for only 1.3 per cent of CO2 emissions, so nothing we do will have any measurable effect on the global climate yet the Andrews government seems determined to impoverish us.

How to trump US ’invasion’ We in Australia would do well to remind US President Donald Trump that Australia has a trump card up its sleeve. The trump card is the USA and supposedly Australia having joint US-government spying facilities in our country. Australian anti-bases campaigner Denis Doherty says the US has over 50 supposedly joint bases in Australia, with the two most important sited at Pine Gap, 18km from Alice Springs, Northern Territory, and at Northwest Cape, 6km north of Exmouth, Western Australia, and which is also known as the Harold E Holt Communications Station. Lately the Northern Territory has become important in that all our aerodromes, including Darwin Airport and RAAF station Tindall, are used by the US Air Force. About 2000 US troops are presently stationed in and around Darwin. Our Australian Government has a 25-year plan to allow this US military invasion, for which we, the taxpayers, share the cost with the US. We could pull a Trump: ignore the agreements and tell them all to go home. Bob Thompson Ocean Grove

Mum’s the word, and it’s no joke! By Luke Voogt Comedian and radio presenter Dave Thornton will make his comedic return to Geelong to support his Grovedale mum’s charity efforts next weekend. Thornton broke onto the Australian scene as a 23-year-old at the Geelong RAW Comedy heats in 2003. “I hope the god-awful stench of my first gig in there isn’t hanging around,” he told the Indy this week. Thornton grew up in Belmont and returns often to visit his mum, Ineke. However, he struggles to remember his last Geelong gig. “It’s been a while,” he said. But he does remember a Peter Helliar gig at Geelong Performing Arts Centre which first inspired him to brave the stage. “I leaned across to my girlfriend and said ‘that looks kind of cool’,” he said. “I’m not with her anymore - so maybe she thought ‘this guy is deluded’ and jumped ship.” Thornton would go on to perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for several years running, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. “A severe lack of any other options made me continue it,” he said. He has appeared on TV with the likes of Tommy Little and Tom Gleeson, and hosted morning radio with Fifi Box, Brendon Fevola and Byron Cooke for several years. He described radio as “heaps of fun” and free of the “HR” restrictions of a typical office job. “Our job is the complete inverse - you turn up
hoping someone says something stupid,” he said. “In another life I would be the annoying guy on the work site.” Thornton was looking forward to seeing “some friendly faces” but admitted to being a tad nervous performing for mates. “You look around and see people who have known you your whole life. They have a pretty good artillery of heckles.” Thornton will perform at Buckleys on 18 February to raise money for Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC). His mum supports the charity, which raises money to fly about 50 Pacific island children per year to Australia for lifesaving treatment. “I’m proud my mum’s getting involved with it,” he said. “When you do gigs like this you know it’s for the right reason and there’s also goodwill in the room.” But Thornton insisted he wouldn’t censor his act for maternal ears. “For better or worse, she’s gotten used to the things I say on stage. I can say whatever I want - so long as I put her in a good retirement home later down the track, she’s happy.” Thornton will also bring his comedic mates to Geelong, like the man behind the Western Bulldogs banners Danny McGinlay and prolific TV comedy writer Karl Chandler. Dave Thornton and Friends for ROMAC starts at 8pm on 18 February at Buckleys Entertainment Centre. To book online visit www.trybooking. com/book/event?eid=248627.

Hollies ‘breathe the air’ in Geelong By Luke Voogt British ’60s rock legends The Hollies will play in Geelong for the first time at Deakin’s Costa Hall Sunday. “We’re looking forward to that,” said original drummer Bobby Elliott ahead of the band’s show in Perth Wednesday. “We’ve been to Melbourne many times, but never Geelong." The band is famous for classics like The Air That I Breathe and He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. Elliot, 76, said the band had toured every year since it began in 1963 and was still going strong. “Although the shows get longer and longer,” he added. Elliots love of music began when his aunty sang to him as a baby. He fashioned drums from chocolate tins as a toddler in his mother’s store in the northern England town of Burnley. “I would play along to whatever the drummer was playing on the records,” he said. “(My parents) could see I was pretty well determined." At 16, he bought some “two-pound” drums. Later, he borrowed 60 pounds from his dad for a proper set to indulge his love for jazz. Touring with Elliot this month is original lead guitarist and singer Tony Hicks. The two met after leaving school and finding work as apprentice tradesmen. “Tony was an apprentice electrician, which I think was so he could mend his amplifiers.” Elliot met Hicks' sister (and late wife) Maureen in the local pub and “bought her a glass of cider”. He walked her home and came in for a coffee, spotting Hick’s guitar. After meeting Hicks, he joined his band The Dolphins, which eventually morphed into The Hollies.
What’sat on YOU S EE RE ! E H T
OH BROTHER: The Hollies are set to play in Geelong. “We were making more money than we were with our normal jobs,” Elliot said. The band shot to stardom in the ’60s, joining the Beatles in the ‘British Invasion’. “The Americans weren’t sure what had hit them,” Elliot said. “We’d absorbed the likes of Elvis, Little Richard and Everly Brothers. We were selling American music back to the Americans with a Pommie twang.”
Elliot remembered his Australian tour in 1970, which involved scores of stops on the way in cities like Frankfurt and Istanbul. The band played in front of 7000 on a steaming hot 9 January, he said. The American Rock and Roll Hall of Famers played in the first BBC TV Top Of The Pops 1964, and have performed alongside Little Richard and Jimmy Hendrix in New York City. In the band’s early days, Elton John, then a
shy, polite, Reg Dwight, played piano for tracks including He Ain’t Heavy for a basic recording session fee of about $15. The Hollies will play at Deakin’s Costa Hall Sunday as part of their Highway of Hits Australian tour. “We like the traditional theatre type gigs,” Elliot said.

Singer unveils her Seeker By Luke Voogt
SONG SEEKER: Leslie Martin performs as Judith Durham. princess’ and it stuck.” The cover artist was grateful for chance to pass her musical knowledge along the family line. She said she and her daughter get mistaken for sisters playing their ABBA tribute act. “It’s great and people are really surprised when we tell them,” she said. “I came from a musical family dating way back to the early 1900s. Both sides of my family were
involved in the music and entertainment industry.” Martin supported ‘Queen of Rockabilly’ Wander Jackson when she came to Australia a few years ago. “That was fantastic, she was out from Oklahoma,” she said. Martin will perform at the Sphinx on 22 February.
The hunt is on for Geelong’s funniest people with the local heat of the RAW Comedy on 18 February. The contest is Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s annual search for Australia’s best undiscovered jokers. Former Christmas tree farmer and wedding singer Sam Tuanton, who went on to be a RAW finalist, will host the Geelong heat. Each contestant will present five minutes of original comedy including stand-up, sketch, double and triple acts, and musical comedy.

Undiscovered comedy talents will compete in heats are across the state. The best in show will proceed through to the preliminary finals from 27 February and then the state final on 27 March. The nation’s best will battle it out for the RAW Comedy crown during the Melbourne Comedy Festival in April - with the winner scoring a trip to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Previous competitors include Chris Lilley, Josh Thomas, Hannah Gadsby, Peter Helliar, Claire Hooper, Ronny Chieng, Celia Pacquola, Luke McGregor, and Geelong’s own Jonathan Schuster and Dave Thornton. Tickets are just $35 or $30 concession, book online at gpac.org.au or phone the box office on 5225 1200.

Pakenham songstress Leslie Martin has a split personality - at least when she’s on stage. Martin will perform as the iconic Judith Durham this month when she comes to the Sphinx for its Morning Melodies series. “I specialise in certain artists,” she told the Indy this week. “They range from ABBA, which I do with my daughter, to the other of end of the scale, which is Slim Dusty.” “(Performing as Slim) was funny because they were all expecting a bloke - they couldn’t believe a girl could pull it off.” All-told Martin performs covers of 10 artists. “I’ve been doing these shows since about 2007,” she said. But she is relatively new to playing the Seeker’s lead woman - one of her idols. “We’ve only done a couple of those so far,” she said. After a few Seekers tributes Martin decided to go solo. “That’s when we decided Judith warranted her own show and I took on some of her solo tracks.” In a career highlight Martin met Durham herself who was delighted to have someone imitating her, she said. “That was amazing. She was very charming but quiet. She couldn’t believe someone would to do a show on her.” Martin said Durham’s “gentle listening” style came easily to her as a teenager. “I wasn’t into that boppy stuff. I also look very much like her without her without even trying.” Martin has performed for 20 years, earning herself the nickname the Princess from Pakenham. “I was dressed in white doing a show and someone came up and said ‘you look like a little

More than 30,000 titles will be on sale in Geelong West Rotary’s Monster Book Fair next weekend - for just $1 apiece. The fair normally runs annually in August but this year will run twice thanks to demand, said club president Marie Nunan. “We’re not sure why the fair is popular. It could be the enormous range of books on offer, or that all books are a steal at only $1 each. “In 2016 the club trialled running two fairs and the response was amazing. So we are doing it again!” Ms Nunan said club members had been vigorously sorting out a huge range of books in preparation. “We like to think that visitors to the fair know that every dollar they spend is going to benefit Geelong in some way.” The fair made a significant contribution to local Rotary clubs’ fundraising for patient transport vehi-

Grovedale mechanic Robin Mawson says he never stops learning, even after 35 years in the business. He and a colleague at Moolap’s Mawson Motors are expanding their knowledge of hybrid vehicles after completing courses at Gordon TAFE and in the US. “Within 10 years, 40 per cent of the market will be hybrid,” Robin says. The business specialises in air-conditioning for the new-age cars. “I don’t know of any other Geelong businesses that does it for hybrid vehicles,” he says. “They all go to dealerships.” Robin opened the store in 1982, a few years after moving to Geelong, borrowing the name of his father Mick’s business in Winchelsea. Mick began the business in 1964, and Robin grew up around cars, working on racers with his dad for Avalon’s speedway. “I love the ingenuity of it,” he says. Mawson Motors staff can service and repair classic and modern cars, trucks, buses, motor homes and more. They even restore military vehicles and have two on the go - one which saw service in Vietnam, the other a 1942 jeep for a Melbourne customer. “My hobby is military vehicles,” says Robin, who owns four of his own. “I’ve restored them all from ground up.” Mawson Motors is a fantastic alternative to dealer servicing, delivering high-quality workmanship and friendly service at a competitive price. The shop has all your service needs covered from air-conditioning, general servicing and brakes to in-depth diagnosis on modern vehicles and roadworthies.

ABOUT US
The team at Wayne’s Wheel Alignment and Service Centre are experts in suspension and wheel alignments. Wayne’s Wheel Alignment (WWA) offers general servicing and repairs on cars as well as dirt and road motorbikes, and suspension repairs. They also offer set-ups for race cars. Owner Rob White grew up around trucks, cars and motorbikes, and has always had an interest in classic cars. “We often have people coming in just to admire some of the old classics that our team work on,“ he said. “We’ve had Mustangs, early Holdens and Fords, Dodge Phoenixes and early Chevrolets. We’ve even had a 1937 Packard, to name a few. “The time and effort people put into restoring some of these old cars is phenomenal. It’s great to see these cars still on the road.“ Mr White said they had many loyal customers who had been coming in for the 30 odd years WWA had been in operation since ’91. “We now even have our older clients’ children and grandchildren coming in,“ he said. “We always have one-on-one time with our customers and have a bit of a friendly joke around together. “We take enormous pride in our work. We provide tips to customers so they can learn how to do things like checking their oil and tyre pressures. “We recommend drivers to get their cars serviced every six months or after each 10,000 kilometres.“ WWA is offering a free rotation and wheel balancing with every service until the end of February if you mention reading about the deal in the Geelong Indy. Wayne’s Wheel Alignment is at 25 Crows Road, Belmont. For more information, phone 5244 3742 or visit facebook.com/wayneswheelalign.

2012 PEUGEOT 508 ALLURE TOURING WAGON Latest Audi A3 Sportback is visually longer and lower thanks to a restyle.
Audi gets a nip and tuck treat By Ewan Kennedy Late in 2016 the Audi A3 and S3 ranges were given a comprehensive upgrade. They have a facelift and tail-tuck, revised engines, additional technology, added safety assistance systems, standard MMI satellite navigation on all models, and higher levels of equipment across the board. Depending on the model, the Audi A3 / S3 has up to $7000 in additional value over the outgoing car which, incidentally, was voted World Car of the Year in 2014. The breadth of the Audi 3 range models is impressive. It starts with the A3 1.0-turbo- petrol 85 kW Sportback priced at $35,900, and goes all the way up to the sporting Audi S3 2.0 TFSI quattro 213 kW sedan at $64,500. A six-speed manual transmission is a no-cost option in the S3 models. Audi A3 is sold as a five-door hatch (Sportback in Audi speak), four-door sedan and soft-top cabriolet. Our test car was the $49,500 2.0 TFSI quattro with the S Tronic Sports automatic. An S line sports package, at $4200, was fitted. It adds Alcantara / leather trim, a leather bound sport multi-function, flat bottom steering wheel with shift paddles, and sports suspension with 18inch alloy wheels. Metallic paint added $1150; Bang and Olufsen stereo $1750; DAB+ radio $600; and aluminium roof rails $600. Total cost $60,700 to which on-road charges have to be added. The optional sport suspension lowers the body by 15 mm, the electromechanical power steering gains sensitivity and efficiency. Some models can be further optioned with progressive steering, also electrically assisted, and standard in the S3. The single-frame radiator grille is more sharply contoured and wider than in the previous A3; the headlights are flatter with a distinctive outside edge. The rear plays on the width of the new A3 with a horizontal lighting set-up and edge above the restyled diffuser. Powertrains are interestingly varied, all imported to Australia are turbo-petrol units: a newdesign 1.0-litre three-cylinder with seven-speed S-tronic automatic; 2.0-litre four-cylinder Stronic automatic; 2.0-litre TFSI six-speed manual and quattro all-wheel- drive; and a 1.4-litre four-
cylinder- on-demand S-tronic. The 1.4 TFSI comes with cylinder-on- demand (COD) shutting off two cylinders when their power is not required. The engine develops 110 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque. The newly developed 2.0 TFSI generates 140 kW and 320 Nm, the latter all the way from 1500 to 4200 rpm. The quattro all-wheel drive system has been retuned to provide even more dynamic handling. Among other upgrades it now actively distributes additional torque to the rear wheels when required. Infotainment and connectivity are excellent, with MMI Navigation now standard across the range, along with the rollout of Audi Connect into next year, also as a standard item. The innovative Audi virtual cockpit, standard on S3, is now offered in the A3, along with smartphone interface for Apple Carplay and Android Auto, both of which are standard on 2.0 TFSI and up. The virtual cockpit features a 12.3-inch TFT screen displaying important driving information in animated 3-D graphics. The driver can switch between two views by pressing a button on the steering wheel. In infotainment mode, a central window dominates the view with space for the navigation map or phone, radio and media lists. The tacho and speedo are displayed as smalldial instruments on the right and left. In the classic view, the instruments are large analogue look instruments and the centre display is smaller. The new MMI system has been re-designed, based on contemporary smartphones, with menus and frequently used functions reached in just a few clicks. The main control features a knob and touchpad for entering letters, numbers and, with single or multi-finger gestures, allowing the driver to zoom in on the map. Sound from the optional Bang & Olufsen audio system in our road test Sportback was impressive, with clear definition throughout the range. The newly-developed voice control system understands a large number of everyday expressions and allows for dictation of text messages. It had little trouble understanding my AustralianScottish accent... The Audi A3 has a five-star rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

SPORT A victory at last for Cats LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club has clawed itself off the bottom of the Premier cricket ladder with a solid victory over Frankston Peninsula last Saturday. Resuming at 1/112 in pursuit of the hosts' 151, the Cats didn’t lose a wicket until victory was achieved, Mark Pettini (39) and Eamonn Vines (71) were the stars in a comprehensive run chase. The middle order then were given licence to have a dash, Josh McDonald the best of them making a brisk 34 from 32 balls before the Cats declared on 7/272 and asked Frankston Peninsula to bat again. With hopes of an unlikely outright win in their minds, Tom Smith and Dylan Moroney got off to the perfect start with three quick wickets, but from there Frankston opener Matthew Gapes ground his way to a gutsy century and staved off Geelong's push for maximum points. With two games remaining, Geelong play their last home game of the season against tenth placed St Kilda. While finals are out of the question, there is still much to be gained from a good performance here, and a good finish to this campaign will go a long way towards a positive mindset looking to next season. In local action, the Geelong Cricket Association also has two games remaining, and while often at this late stage of the season the six finalists are set in stone, there is still a realistic chance for eight teams to take part in finals action. Seventh-placed Geelong City face the tough task of needing to beat ladder leader Grovedale to
keep their hopes alive, while eighth placed South Barwon will fancy their chances of beating St Peters. But the game that might have the most impact on who could be the eventual premier may well be at King Lloyd Reserve where Murgheboluc host St Josephs. The Frogs have been the quiet achievers so far in a season where many thought they would struggle after the loss of star all rounder Glen Talarico. But two wins on the trot, and a focus on a more even spread of contributors, has seen them a realistic chance of not only contesting their first ever division one finals series, but perhaps going all the way to holding the cup aloft. Batsmen Greg Holmes and Andrew Murden are both in the top eight run-getters for the season, while Dan Grozdanovski, Matt Tarbett and Terry Hill all boast 13 or more wickets. While all those statistics point to a team on the rise, they will have their work cut out against St Josephs, who have been going about their business well, winning their last three games in style as they push for their third flag in four years. If Murgheboluc want to be taken as a serious threat of holding the cup aloft this season, a top notch performance here will go a long way to not only satisfying onlookers that they are the real deal, but will perhaps help to convince themselves of the same thing. Murgheboluc v ST JOSEPHS, Geelong City v GROVEDALE, LARA v Leopold, EAST BELMONT v Bell Post Hill, Newtown & Chilwell v NORTH GEELONG, St Peters v SOUTH BARWON.
In division two, Alexander Thomson went into the Christmas break in familiar territory, languishing in the bottom half of the ladder with just two wins to its name. Fast forward two months though, three wins on the trot has rocketed them into finals contention, and with a very winnable game against St Albans Breakwater this round, the Vikings may well find themselves in the top six next Saturday night if they can take the points here. The key to their success has undoubtedly been the form of Englishman Sean Tindale. The gun paceman was a key member of the GCA’s succesful Country Week campaign. He showed no illeffects from a tough week in Melbourne though, returning on Saturday with the tough task of helping his side defend a modest 158 against Torquay. But like every challenge put before them recently, a new-found confidence helped the side rise to the occasion, bundling the Tigers out for just 128, Tindale the star taking the remarkable figures of 7/34 from 11.3 overs. The efforts of Jay Dunstan didn’t go unnoticed either, the opener chipping in with 3/27 of his own, to see an excitement build around Highton reserve not seen for many years. But as expectations rise, so does the level of pressure, both from outside and within, and if the side can embrace the challenge rather than shy away from it, they could finally realise what they are capable of.

DOMINANT: Xavier Huxtable in action
CLOSE WIN: Ethan Huxtable surfs his way to victory.
Picture: CAIGAN MEADE
Brothers rule the briny waves in Victorian Junior Series By Luke Voogt Two Jan Juc brothers surfed to glory in their age groups in the opening round of the Victorian Junior Series at Phillip Island over the weekend. Xavier Huxtable dominated the under-16s with a score of 11.67, beating the next three surfers by four or more points. “I’m stoked,” Xavier said, “there were a lot of good surfers.” “I’m just going to take one comp by one comp.” His brother Ethan took out the under-14s in a narrow win over fellow Jan Juc local Patrick Hughes, 9.57 to 9.23. The brothers had a friendly rivalry in the comp
before Xavier progressed to under-16s this year. “I only lost to him once,” 14-year-old Xavier said. “I could usually paddle into a better wave because he was so small.” But the rivalry continues when the brothers hit the waves together in Jan Juc. “We drop in each other a bit,” Xavier said. Xavier said the smaller break at Smiths Beach made conditions tough. “The waves were small and closing out.” Fellow Jan Juc local Arabella Wilson rode the two-to-three foot swell to victory in the girls under-16s with a score 8.40. Ocean Grove’s Bodie Williams and Jan Juc’s Indi White took third and fourth under-16s,
while Jan Juc’s Angelique Kefalas placed third among the girls. Kenta Fergusson (Jan Juc) came second in the boy’s under-18s, and Patrick Hughes (Jan Juc) and Zeph Lamperd (Barwon Heads) placed second and third in the under-14s. Ellie Harrison (Barwon Heads), Jazz Wylie (Jan Juc) and Cielle Bouvier (Jan Juc, 3.57pts) place second, third and fourth respectively in the under -14s girls. The series will make its way to the Mornington Peninsula for Round 2 on 25 and 26 February. Entries are still open at www.surfingvic.com
Array of choice ready to catch ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Anglers find huge mix of species on the bite. Clifton Springs was really the go-to location for a mixed bag over the past week, with snapper, gummy shark, whiting, flathead and squid all making their way into anglers' bags. Whiting were boated over the Curlewis Bank in 5m to 6m of water, with pippie the most-desired bait. Snapper averaging 3kg to 5kg kept anglers busy in the Alcoa area. The shallow areas off Clifton Springs produced some well-conditioned flathead, with soft plastics a great tactic. Barry Wood was at it again Saturday morning chasing flathead in the deeper water off Indented Head on Saturday morning. Using bluebait, Barry landed an impressive bag of flatties to 40cm. The reef sections of Indented Heads were fantastic for squid, with bag-limit captures sometimes possible. St Leonards was whiting central again. I made a daybreak start out from St Leonards on Sunday, anchoring in 6m off the yacht club. I managed a dozen whiting to 40cm over an hour before the bite slowed, with pippies rigged on running sinker rigs TUNA HUNTED: Kevin working best. Hunter with a Portland Squid kept tuna. other anglers busy in the bight at Queenscliff. Drifting with large size-3.5 jigs worked well. Kingfish were the main attraction, with The Rip showing no signs of slowing down. Anglers drifting in the tide with 150g jigs boated kings to 8kg along, while the odd fish was also taken on the troll. But what caught a lot of attention was the occasional bluefin tuna still hanging around on The Rip and the bend, both areas where anglers should take care around large ships. Anglers also caught kingfish offshore from Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads. Jigging around schools of bait marked on sounders with produced fish to 70cm. Other offshore anglers found that drifting in 40m was a great way to bag a feed of tiger flathead. Portland was a hot spot for bluefin tuna. Trellys Geelong’s Kevin Hunter boated fish to 20.52kg on the troll with Rapala Xrap lures. On the freshwater front, Lake Purrumbete produced fantastic numbers of redfin along with the odd rainbow trout. Anglers did well sending jigs down to schools of redfin marked on sounders. The Barwon River around Geelong continued fishing well for numbers of redfin to 35cm on small, hard-body lures such as the Atomic Hard in colour 017. Lake Eildon was a hot location for anglers chasing Murray cod. Trolling hardbody lures along the steep banks was productive for fish to 65cm. Over the next week, anglers seeking whiting should keep St Leonards in mind, with the area known as Bourke St worth a shot on the incoming tide. Kingfish in The Rip will also be an option, while freshwater anglers should make the drive to Purrumbete for large numbers of redfin. 31 GEELONG INDY Friday, 10 February, 2017
